Objective: To explore the comorbidity and associated factors of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of targeted prevention strategies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to survey 178 700 students from the fourth grade of primary school to the third year of high school in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from September to November 2023, including physical examination, oral screening, and questionnaire survey. Chisquare tests and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to investigate the related factors of the cooccurrence of dental caries and overweight/obesity among students. Results: The comorbidity rate of dental caries and overweight/obesity was 9.55%, with urban areas (9.95%) higher than rural counties (9.24%), boys (10.54%) higher than girls (8.54%), primary school students (11.49%) higher than senior high school students (8.92%) and junior high school students (8.05%), and nonboarding students (11.44%) higher than boarding students (7.94%), and all differences were statistically significant (χ2=26.07, 207.91, 471.54, 629.14,P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that consuming cereal for breakfast (OR=0.91, 95%CI=0.88-0.94), drinking milk in the past week (OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.83-0.95), meeting sleep standards (OR=0.95, 95%CI=0.91-0.99), and brushing teeth at least once a day (OR=0.82, 95%CI=0.73-0.93) had a lower risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity. In contrast, drinking beverages in the past week (OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.09-1.20), consuming fried foods in the past week (OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.06-1.17), eating fruit ≥1 time every day (OR=1.06, 95%CI=1.02-1.11), consuming fruit ≥1 type every day (OR=1.07, 95%CI=1.01-1.12), and having fish, poultry, meat, or eggbased breakfasts (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.05-1.13) had a higher risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity (P<0.05). Conclusions Dietary habits and lifestyle behaviors are associated with the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi. Guiding students to form healthy living habits is helpful to preven dental caries and overweight/obesity.

BACKGROUND:The formation of postoperative abdominal adhesions is a complicated process,and the prevention of postoperative adhesions is an urgent problem in clinic. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the mechanism of adhesion at cellular and molecular levels,and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of adhesion by mesenchymal stem cell exosomes. METHODS:"Abdominal adhesion,pelvic adhesion,postoperative adhesion,epithelial mesenchymal transformation,mesenchymal stem cells,stem cell exosomes,mesenchymal stem cell exosomes"were selected as Chinese and English search terms.We searched PubMed,CNKI,and Chinese biomedical literature and screened relevant articles on postoperative abdominal adhesion and mesenchymal stem cell exosomal intervention published from inception to August 2023.After systematic analysis,54 articles were finally included for the review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Any pathological factors such as peritoneal inflammation,mechanical injury,tissue ischemia,and foreign body implantation cause peritoneal surface injury,resulting in postoperative abdominal adhesion.The formation process of adhesion includes the interaction of peritoneal mesothelial cell repair,inflammatory response,fibrinolytic system,coagulation pathway and other processes,involving a variety of cytokines and signaling pathways.Wnt/β-catenin pathway can induce fibrosis and angiogenesis,and cooperate with transforming growth factor-β/Smads signaling pathway to stimulate fibroblast proliferation and cause peritoneal fibrosis.Meanwhile,nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway up-regulates the expression of cellular inflammatory factors,promotes fibroblast proliferation,and plays a key role in the process of tissue fibrosis.(2)The paracrine function of stem cells is an important direction of molecular intervention in abdominal adhesions based on regenerative medicine.It can participate in a variety of complex cytokines and signaling pathways involved in abdominal adhesions.(3)Compared with traditional methods for treating abdominal adhesions,mesenchymal stem cell exosome has biological activity and is safe to use.Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes without special culture and expansion have lower immunogenicity,longer stability and other advantages,can guide a normal repair and healing through a variety of ways.(4)Mesenchymal stem cell exosome has been proven to be involved in regulating the above processes of adhesion formation in previous studies,showing potential application prospects in clinical studies.However,further clinical studies are needed to explore appropriate treatment options for mesenchymal stem cell exosomes to address the problem of clinical translation.

BACKGROUND:Palmar locking plate fixation is the most commonly used fixation method for distal radius fractures.However,when the fracture line involves the dorsal articular surface,palmar plate fixation carries a higher risk of postoperative displacement of the dorsal bone mass,especially the dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the fracture line characteristics of distal radius fracture involving the dorsal articular surface,and further investigate the risk factors of postoperative displacement of the dorsal bone mass involving the sigmoid notch,so as to provide evidence for improving the success rate of surgery. METHODS:Retrospective analysis was performed on patients with distal radius fracture who were admitted to Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to September 2022.The number of dorsal fractures of the distal radius of 1,2,3 and above was divided into types Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ based on preoperative CT images.The fracture line maps were drawn respectively to analyze the morphological characteristics of the dorsal fracture lines.Patients with dorsal sigmoid notch fracture were followed up for more than 3 months and divided into displaced group and non-displaced group according to whether the dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass displacement occurred after surgery.Age,sex,preoperative and postoperative CT anatomical parameters were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)145 patients with type C of AO/OTA involving the dorsal articular surface were analyzed by fracture line map.According to the number of dorsal fractures,there were 25 cases of type Ⅰ fracture(17.2％),82 cases of type Ⅱ fracture(56.6％),and 38 cases of type Ⅲ fracture(26.2％).Fracture line map showed that the fracture line of type Ⅰ fracture block mainly involved sigmoid notch;type Ⅱ mainly involved sigmoid notch and lister tubercle,and type Ⅲ involved sigmoid notch,lister tubercle,and dorsal radial column.Among the 145 patients,86.2％(125/145 cases)were involved in sigmoid notch,of which type Ⅲ was involved as high as 94.7％(36/38 cases);type Ⅱ was involved as high as 88.0％(72/82 cases),and type Ⅰ was involved as high as 68％(17/25 cases).(2)76 cases of type C of AO/OTA involving the dorsal sigmoid notch were included for further study,of which 65 cases were not displaced after operation and 11 cases were displaced.In univariate analysis,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in age,sex,injury site,preoperative CT dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass length(d1),ulnar length(d2),dorsal height of dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass(d4),and ulnar edge distance between steel plate and radius(d5)(P>0.05).The proportion of dorsal sigmoid notch involving the radioulnar joint:[d2/(d2+d3)],the proportion of articular surface of dorsal sigmoid notch(s1/s2),the distance between the ulnar screw tail and the edge of dorsal sigmoid notch(d6),and the number of screw fixation of dorsal sigmoid notch were statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of screw fixation of sigmoid notch was the only risk factor affecting the displacement of sigmoid notch on dorsal ulnar side(P<0.05).(4)It is indicated that type Ⅱ is the most common intra-articular fracture of distal radius involving the back of the radius,followed by type Ⅲ and type Ⅰ with dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass.However,the dorsal sigmoid notch bone mass is prone to postoperative displacement due to the influence of the inferior radioulnar joint ligament,and the fixation of at least one effective screw during the operation can reduce the risk of displacement and help to improve the treatment effect.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of such abnormalities. Methods: From September to November 2023, adopting a stratified cluster random sampling method, spinal curvature screenings and questionnaire surveys were conducted among 168 931 students from grade 4 of primary school to grade 12 of high school in 111 districts and counties across 14 cities in Guangxi. Chi square tests and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze influencing factors of spinal curvature abnormalities. Results: In 2023, the detection rate of poor posture among students above grade 4 in Guangxi was 4.24% , and the detection rate of spinal curvature abnormalities was 2.13%. The detection rate was higher among urban students (2.84%) than rural students (1.66%), boarding students (2.61%) than non-boarding students (1.60%), and high school students (3.16%) than junior high (2.45%) and primary school students (1.15%), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=269.85, 221.44, 565.10, P <0.01). A trend of increasing detection rates with higher grade levels was observed ( χ 2 trend =617.63, P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that students without boarding at school ( OR =0.82, 95% CI =0.75-0.90), engaging in high-intensity physical activity for over 60 min per day ≥5 days per week ( OR =0.90, 95% CI =0.82-0.98), and adequate sleep ( OR =0.87, 95% CI =0.81-0.94) had lower risks of detecting spinal curvature abnormalities ( P <0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of spinal curvature abnormalities increases with grade level among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi. Regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity demonstrates protective effects against spinal abnormalities.

: Bacteroides, as one of the most abundant and diverse genera in the human gut, is regarded as a window into the study of gut microbiota-host interactions. Currently, CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing systems targeting Bacteroides have been widely applied, while the large size of Cas nucleases limits their potential application scenarios (such as in situ gut Bacteroides editing based on phage delivery). Therefore, this study aims to develop a compact and highly efficient genetic editing tool in Bacteroides., We developed a miniaturized CRISPR/Cas gene editing system for human gut Bacteroides. First, the editing capabilities of different miniaturized CRISPR/Cas systems, including AsCas12f, CasΦ2, and ISDge10, were evaluated in Bacteroides fragilis. Subsequently, the editing capability of AsCas12f was assessed across various Bacteroides species, and the size of this system was further optimized. The results demonstrated that the CRISPR/AsCas12f genome editing system exhibited the highest editing efficiency in B. fragilis. The CRISPR/AsCas12f system achieved efficient genome editing in B. fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, and Phocaeicola vulgatus. Furthermore, with a repair template of 500 bp homologous arms, the editing efficiency remained as high as 94.7%. In conclusion, CRISPR/AsCas12f can serve as a chassis tool enzyme for the development of Bacteroides-based miniature gene editors and derivative technologies, laying a foundation for the further development of gene editing technology for Bacteroides.
