Objective: To understand the hydration status and related factors of rural boarding primary school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for drinking water health intervention for primary school students. Methods: In November 2023, a convenience sampling approach was employed to conduct a hydration status survey among 144 boarding students in grades 5 and 6 of a rural primary school in Guangxi. The Duplicate meal method and weighing method were utilized to measure the food derived water intake over three consecutive days. Urine osmolarity of students was measured on site for three days, and a simple physical examination was also carried out. A self administered questionnaire was used to investigate students drinking water literacy, daily water intake, and physical activity levels. Meanwhile, a drinking water literacy survey was conducted among 21 substitute teachers and 144 parents of the boarding students in grades 5 and 6. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with students hydration status. Results: The median daily total water intake of students was 2 043.55 mL, and 54.86% of the students did not reach the recommended Adequate Intake (AI). The median food derived water intake was 1 149.24 mL, accounting for 53.94% of the total water intake. Univariate analysis revealed that the daily drinking frequency, daily water intake, and food derived water intake of students were related factors of hydration status ( β =-1.60, -1.01, -0.00, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that primary school students with a daily drinking frequency of ≥7 times were more likely to maintain an adequate hydration status ( OR =0.28, 95% CI =0.09-0.93, P ＜0.05). Conclusions The water intake from food is the main source of water in the body for boarding primary school students in a certain rural school in Guangxi. Primary school students should increase their water intake frequency appropriately to maintain an adequate hydration status.

We report a family with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1(MEN1), in which the proband presented with primary amenorrhea and was diagnosed with both a pituitary prolactinoma and an ACTH-secreting adenoma. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous MEN1 gene c. 1449_1476del mutation in the proband, as well as in six additional family members, who exhibited variable clinical phenotypes. Following initial transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, the proband's symptoms and biochemical abnormalities persisted, with elevated ACTH and cortisol levels. Functional imaging using [ 68Ga]-DOTA-TATE PET/CT confirmed residual pituitary tumor tissue, and a second surgery resulted in biochemical remission.

This study summarizes the characteristics and issues of the available undergraduate course of "Patient Safety" in terms of the teaching model, methods, and evaluation. Based on the theories of learning transfer and conceive-design-implement-operate, this study proposes a framework for course teaching reform of "Patient Safety" through a digital intelligence-empowered project-based teaching method. Moreover, teaching reform measures in the following three aspects are implemented, including the reform of teaching model through digital intelligence-empowered projects, the reform of teaching content, methods, and means by incorporating digital intelligence technology, and the reform of learning outcome evaluation by combining process and outcome assessments. Additionally, the study preliminarily explores the conditions for implementing the new teaching reforms and their effectiveness, providing a reference for the construction of similar courses.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum phosphorylated Tau protein-181(P-Tau181),gamma glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT),silent information regulator 1(SIRT1)and sleep disorders in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.Methods A total of 156 patients with cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)were divided into a sleep disorder group(PSQI≥10)and a normal sleep group(PSQI<10)based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores.Serum levels of P-Tau181,GGT,and SIRT1 were compared between the two groups,and the predictive value of these biomarkers for the development of sleep disorders in CSVD patients was analyzed.Results Among 156 patients with cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD),52(33.33%)were diag-nosed with sleep disorders,and their Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores were significantly higher than those of the normal sleep group(P<0.05).The serum levels of P-Tau181,GGT,and SIRT1 in the sleep disorder group were elevated compared to the normal sleep group(P<0.05).Positive correlations were observed between PSQI scores and P-Tau181,GGT,and SIRT1 levels(P<0.05).The areas under the curve(AUC)for predicting sleep disorders in CSVD patients using individual biomarkers(P-Tau181,GGT,SIRT1)and their combined prediction were 0.672,0.742,0.749,and 0.843,respectively.Conclusion The abnormal expression of P-Tau181,GGT,and SIRT1 is associated with sleep disorders in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the effects of changes in the estrogen receptor alpha 36(ER-α36)expression on the proliferation and membrane-initiated estrogen signaling in glioblastoma U251 cells.Methods The expression and localization of ER-α36 and EGFR glioblastoma U87 cells and U251 cells were determined by immunofluorescence,qRT-PCR and Western blot.The effect of upregulating ER-α 36 on U251 cell proliferation and estrogen signaling pathway activity by low con-centrations of 100 pmol/L icariin isomer(SNG162)was detected by MTT assay and Western blot.Results ER-α36 and EGFR were co-expressed in the cell membrane of glioblastoma.Compared with DMSO(control group),the expression ER-α36(P<0.01)and EG-FR increased in U251 cells treated with SNG162(P<0.05);Further experments also found that low concentrations of SNG162 in-creased the expression of cycle related proteins-cyclin D1,cyclin B,cyclin E and CDK4(P<0.01),and enhanced the proliferative a-bility of U251 cells(P<0.05).Conclusion The low concentration of SNG162 upregulates the expression of ER-α36,activates the estrogen-mediated ERK1/2 MAPK,p38 MAPK,and EGFR/Src signaling pathways,promotes glioblastoma proliferation,and activates the membrane initialized estrogen signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the current status of screen exposure among children aged 3-4 years in Shanghai and its relationship with children developmental risks.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted, and the stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 22 102 children of 3-4 years of age across 16 districts in Shanghai in 2023, and their parents were surveyed online. The screen exposure behavior questionnaire (ScreenQ) was used to assess children′s screen exposure behaviors. The Chinese edition early human capability index (eHCI) was used to evaluate whether children were at developmental risk, and the overall characteristics of newly enrolled 3-4 years of age children in Shanghai were calculated by using sampling weights. After controlling for confounding factors, a stepwise Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between screen exposure behaviors and children′s developmental status (whether at developmental risk).Results:A total of 21 454 children completed the survey, with an age of (3.8±0.3) years, including 11 275 boys (52.6%) and 10 179 girls (47.4%). After weighting, 38.4% of newly enrolled children aged 3-4 years in Shanghai had daily screen time ≥1 h; 55.3% had screen devices in their bedrooms; 40.8% and 62.5% used screens to assist with falling asleep and emotional regulation, respectively; 19.2% of children were frequently exposed to fast-paced screen content (e.g., content with rapid actions or scene changes); 10.4% of parents never discussed or asked questions about content during screen viewing; and 9.2% of parents never discussed screen content or reasons for preferences after screen use. After confirming no multicollinearity among screen exposure behaviors and controlling confounding factors, stepwise Logistic regression analysis revealed that daily screen time ≥1 h (standardized OR=1.98, P<0.001), using screens for emotional regulation (standardized OR=1.59, P<0.001), lack of parent-child interaction after screen use (standardized OR=1.38, P=0.002), presence of screen in children′s bedrooms (standardized OR=1.27, P=0.012), and exposure to fast-paced screen media (standardized OR=1.23, P=0.010) were the top 5 influencing factors of children developmental risks. Conclusions:Screen exposure among preschool children is prevalent and significantly associated with developmental risks. Early screen exposure behaviors should be addressed, daily screen time should be strictly controlled, and healthy screen use habits should be established to mitigate their impact on child development.

This study analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of 3 children diagnosed with mitochondrial disease-associated primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) at the Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University from October 2018 to November 2023.All patients were normal at birth but gradually developed symptoms and were diagnosed with PAI between the ages of 1 year and 1 month and 7 years and 3 months.The children presented typical clinical symptoms of PAI, including skin and mucosal hyperpigmentation (3 cases), electrolyte disturbances (3 cases), and hypoglycemia (2 cases), as well as multisystem abnormalities related to mitochondrial disease, including recurrent infections, growth retardation, cachexia, and hyperlactatemia.Genetic testing revealed significant single deletions in mitochondrial DNA in all patients: Patient 1: m.11219_15954del, Patient 2: m.8483_13459del, and Patient 3: m.8649_16084del.Treatment with Hydrocortisone acetate replacement therapy improved the electrolyte disturbances and hypoglycemia, but issues with recurrent infections, growth retardation, and cachexia persisted.This study suggests that in clinical practice, the possibility of mitochondrial disease should be highly suspected when PAI patients present with multisystem abnormalities, especially in conjunction with hyperlactatemia.

Objective: To investigate the current status of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding drinking water among primary school students in rural areas of China, so as to provide scientific basis for implementing health interventions related to drinking water. Methods: From November to December 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 6 354 fourth to sixth grade primary school students in Shanxi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Gansu for a questionnaire survey. A uniformly designed questionnaire (including basic information, drinking water-related knowledge, attitudes and practices indicators) was distributed and completed by the students themselves. The χ 2 test was used to analyze the differences in drinking water-related indicators among students of different gender and boarder, and Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of drinking water practices among students. Results: Among the indicators of drinking water knowledge, the awareness rate of appropriate daily water intake for respective student age groups was the lowest (27.90%). The awareness rate among nonresident students was significantly higher than that among boarding students (31.29%, 15.49%, χ 2=132.75, P <0.01). Regarding attitudes toward drinking water, 13.33% of the students believed that well water or tap water could be drunk directly, and 9.58% believed that going to the toilet at school was troublesome. Regarding practices, the self-reported water intake among students was 1 000 (600, 1 200) mL. The results of multifactorial Logistic regression showed that higher grades ( OR=1.60, 95%CI =1.34-1.92), nonresident students ( OR=1.32, 95%CI = 1.15 -1.52), northern region ( OR=1.43, 95%CI =1.27-1.61), knowledge of appropriate daily water intake ( OR=1.41, 95%CI =1.24-1.60), drinking temperature ( OR=1.43, 95%CI =1.28-1.60), scientific hydration methods ( OR=1.25, 95%CI =1.08- 1.44 ), and adopting scientific hydration methods regularly ( OR=1.75, 95%CI =1.50-2.04) were the independent influences on daily water intake attainment ( P <0.05). Conclusions Rural primary school students lack knowledge about healthy drinking water, have cognitive biases about safe drinking water and exhibit unhealthy drinking behavior. It is suggested that health education be carried out in combination with the characteristics of students to enhance their drinking water literacy.
