Objective: To explore the association between daytime outdoor physical activity (OPA) and oral health indicators among primary school students, aiming to provide evidence for developing oral health intervention strategies based on natural exposure. Methods: In October 2023, based on the "Tianchang Children s Light Exposure and Growth Development Cohort", 799 second and third grades children were recruited from two primary schools in Tianchang, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. Physical activity intensity and light exposure were objectively monitored for 24 hours over 5 consecutive days using triaxial accelerometers synchronized with portable illuminance meters. Standardized oral examinations were performed to record dental caries, gingivitis, and malocclusion. Demographics, lifestyle variables, and household socioeconomic data were collected via questionnaires. Multiple linear regression (for the number of carious teeth) and Logistic regression (for gingivitis risk) were used to analyze the relationship between daytime outdoor moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and oral health outcomes. Results: The average daytime outdoor MVPA was (0.76±0.35)h, with (0.95±0.40)h on weekdays and (0.49±0.47)h on weekends. The detection rates for dental caries, gingivitis, and malocclusion were 31.0%, 4.6%, and 59.7%, respectively. Compared with children with good oral health, the duration of outdoor MVPA on school days was reduced in children with caries or gingivitis ( Z =-11.4, -5.01, both P <0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that after adjusting for factors such as gender, age, body mass index, oral hygiene behaviors, an increase in daytime outdoor MVPA duration was associated with a decrease in the number of dental caries ( β=-0.64, 95%CI =-0.93 to -0.35) and a reduced risk of gingivitis ( OR= 0.58 , 95%CI =0.34-0.98) in primary school students (both P <0.05). The association was primarily observed on school days ( β=-0.72, 95%CI = -1.07 to -0.37; OR=0.42, 95%CI =0.21-0.85) (both P < 0.05). Conclusions Daytime outdoor MVPA on weekdays is significantly associated with a lower number of carious teeth and a reduced risk of gingivitis in primary school students. Increasing daytime outdoor activities on weekdays may serve as a promising and potential strategy for promoting children s oral health.

Clonorchis sinensis primarily lives in the host liver and biliary system, leading to serious health issues, such as hepatobiliary lesions and cholangiocarcinoma. Establishment of rapid, sensitive and specific tools is of great significance for early diagnosis and management of clonorchiasis. Recently, molecular biological techniques have been widely used for detection of C. sinensis infections. This review summarizes the advances in the major molecular assays for detection of C. sinensis infections in intermediate and definite hosts, including PCR, loop-mediated isothermal amplification, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins system, and high-throughput sequencing, and summarizes the characteristics and application prospects of these assays, so as to provide precision detection and management of C. sinensis infection.

Amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging is a kind of new magnetic resonance molecular imaging that rapidly developed in recent years. APTw imaging reflects the protein concentration and acid-base changes in tissues by detecting amide protons in free proteins and peptides in tissues. APTw imaging is a complementary technique to the existing magnetic resonance techniques, which can provide new molecular biological information for central nervous system diseases. In this article, the basic principle of APTw imaging and its application in common central nervous system diseases such as brain tumor, ischemic stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases are reviewed to provide new methods for promoting the transformation of APTw imaging from the research stage to routine clinical application, and facilitating the precise diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system diseases.

Professor Zheng Linfan has played an important role in pioneering and leading the development of dentistry in China. In the early 1940s, he spearheaded groundbreaking investigations on the oral health status of Chinese students, and guided fundamental researches by clinical issues which led to the establishment of China′s first oral histopathology laboratory and the Institute of Stomatology. His remarkable scholarly achievements earned him the National Medical and Health Science Conference Award in 1978. He attached great importance to "investigation and clinical practice", "basic research-driven", "interdisciplinary" and "international cooperation and exchange" in the early stage of the development of oral science in China, and therefore formed a four-in-one innovative idea, making important contributions to the innovative research and clinical development of Chinese stomatology. This article bases on professor Zheng Linfan′s work and research experience. Through the excavation of archival documents, correspondence, memoirs, historical records, and oral history materials, this article reconstructs his contributions to stomatology in China, and summarizes his academic ideas, practical paths, and ideological values in promoting the construction of the stomatological development system, providing references for enriching the historical narrative of stomatology in China, and assisting contemporary advancements and technological innovation.

Background: The genus Atractylodes, native to East Asia, encompasses several species that serve as sources for the widely used traditional Chinese medicines Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma and Atractylodis Rhizoma. However, the international trade arouses concern regarding potential confusion and misidentification of Atractylodes species. Objective: A comprehensive understanding of the chemical diversity is crucial for ensuring the quality and exploring the potential variations in medicinal efficacy of Atractylodes. Methods: The GC-MS/MS-based metabolomics and multivariate statistical analysis identified 589 differentially accumulated metabolites across 5 Atractylodes species. Results: A total of 150 metabolites were predicted as potential chemical markers for species differentiation and quality assessment of Atractylodes. According to the metabolic profiles, the species of Atractylodes can be roughly classified into three categories: A. lancea and A. coreana with the volatile oil components being mainly atractylodin and β-eudesmol; A. macrocephala with the biomarker being atractylon; and A. japonica and A. carlinoides lying between the two categories above. Conclusions: Metabolomic results indicated that the metabolic profiles of A. carlinoides and A. macrocephala were similar and distinct from those of the other three species. Sesquiterpenoids were the main chemical components in the rhizome of A. carlinoides, which indicated the potential medicinal value of this plant.

Objective To explore the risk factors of acute respiratory failure(ARF)in adult patients with community-acquired pneu-monia(CAP),and thereby construct and validate the efficacy of nomogram model.Methods The clinical and laboratory data of 172 adult CAP patients admitted to Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital affiliated to Nanjing University School of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into two groups based on whether they had concurrent ARF.After the comparison for the differences of single factor between the two groups,collinearity analysis was assessed.The risk fac-tors were then screened by binary logistic regression analysis with forward stepwise regression method.A nomogram model was subse-quently constructed and the discrimination and accuracy of the model were evaluated by ROC and colibration curves.Results Among the 172 CAP patients,53 cases(30.8％)developed ARF.The results of univariate analysis showed that the CAP patients with concur-rent ARF group had higher age,CURB-65 score and inflammatory markers than the non-concurrent ARF group,and the incidence of complex infection(culturing two or more pathogenic bacteria)was high.The values of CRP(C-reactive protein)and BUN/Alb(blood urea nitrogen/albumin)were significantly different between the two groups(53.910[25.900,101.200]vs.23.300[6.800,48.930],0.231[0.160,0.302]vs.0.123[0.089,0.171],P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis indicated:glucose(Glu)≥6.06 mmol/L(odds ra-tio(OR):2.737,95％confidence interval(CI):1.116-7.037),AST(aspartate aminotransferase)≥22.5 U/L(OR:4.291,95％CI:1.779-11.120),fibrinogen(Fib)≤3.83 g/L(OR:3.955,95％CI:1.631-10.237),uric acid(UA)188.07 μmol/L(OR:4.617,95％CI:1.859-12.489),BUN/Alb≥0.15 mmol/g(OR:6.381,95％CI:2.423-18.513),total number of multicomor-bidity≥3(OR:6.191,95％CI:2.088-21.905)were the risk factors(P＜0.05).All the screened indicators were incorporate into the nomogram model and its efficacy was verified.The results showed that the area under the curve of the model was 0.888[95％CI:0.840-0.935](P＜0.05),the sensitivity was 0.868,and the specificity was 0.790.The calibration curve showed that the predicted probability of adult CAP patients-associated with ARF was in good consistency with the observed probability(Briser Score:0.125;H-L test:x2=7.563,P=0.477).Conclusion The established model has a good ability to predict adult CAP associated with ARF,and can provide a reference basis for early clinical prediction and intervention treatment.

Objective:To investigate the operation of water improvement projects in villages affected by drinking-water-borne endemic arsenic poisoning in Shaanxi Province, the arsenic level in both internal and external environments, the trend of disease development and patient management, and evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and control measures.Methods:From March to December 2023, in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice of the Office of Shaanxi Provincial Health Commission on Issuing the Monitoring Plan for Key Endemic Diseases such as Kashin-Beck Disease" and the "Monitoring Plan for Endemic Fluorosis and Arsenism in Shaanxi Province", all villages affected by drinking-water-borne arsenic disease were monitored. Water arsenic testing was carried out in accordance with the "Standard Test Methods for Drinking Water Inorganic Nonmetallic Indicators" (GB/T 5750.5-2006), and the evaluation of whether water arsenic exceeded the standard was conducted based on the "Sanitary Standards for Drinking Water" (GB 5749-2022). According to the "Diagnosis of Endemic Arsenism" (WS/T 211-2015), the arsenic poisoning status of all population in the disease affected areas was investigated. In 5 villages of 3 monitoring counties, 358 people were randomly selected to determine the urinary arsenic level, and the determination was made according to the "Safety Guideline Value of Urinary Arsenic for Human Population" (WS/T 665-2019). According to the "Notice of the National Health Commission on Issuing the Evaluation Measures for Control and Elimination of Key Endemic Diseases (2019 Edition)", elimination evaluation was conducted.Results:A total of 2 cities, 3 counties, 9 towns, and 13 endemic villages were monitored, with a water improvement rate of 100% (13/13), and all were operating normally. The arsenic level in residents' drinking water was < 0.01 mg/L. A total of 12 688 people were examined, and 338 cases of arsenic poisoning were detected, all of whom were historical cases. There were no new cases of arsenic poisoning or skin cancer patients. The geometric mean of urinary arsenic was 0.026 0 mg/L, which was lower than the safety guideline value of 0.032 mg/L for urinary arsenic in the population. All 338 existing arsenic poisoning patients had received family doctor contract services and implemented follow-up management. The drinking-water-borne endemic arsenic poisoning areas counties in Shaanxi Province have reached the elimination standard.Conclusions:The water improvement project in drinking-water-borne endemic arsenic poisoning areas in Shaanxi Province is operating normally. The arsenic content in both the internal and external environments of the population meets the standard. The condition is stable and no new cases have been detected. Follow up management has been implemented for all current cases. All affected counties have reached the elimination standard.
