Objective: To identify research priorities on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a theoretical base for improving their physical and mental health. Methods: In May 2025, 77 experts in the fields of health and education from 11 cities in Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling method to participate in the first round of expert consultation. In June, 2025, snowball sampling was used to expand to 194 experts for the second round of consultation, and it was convenient to select 21 students from primary schools to high schools in Zhejiang Province and 29 parents to empower the evaluation criteria. It applied the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method in a structured process, which encompassed the definition of the research field, generation of research ideas, scoring, and quantitative ranking of priorities. Research ideas were evaluated against 6 predefined criteria: effectiveness, safety, answerability, feasibility, sustainability, and scientific significance. Results: After 2 rounds of structured consultations, 81 research ideas on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents were established and classified into 7 subthemes: epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors, optimization of primary service systems and policies, comprehensive intervention strategies for physical and mental comorbidity, biological mechanisms and clinical research, the impact of education and environment on physical and mental health, special populations and social support, and digital and technology driven disease prevention and intervention. The top 10 research priorities primarily centered on the subdomain of "epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors" (5 items). The top 3 research priorities were "the association between outdoor activity duration and the incidence of common diseases (including mental disorders) among children and adolescents" "the impact of outdoor activity duration on the physical and mental health of adolescents" "comprehensive intervention strategies for myopia, obesity, and their comorbidities among children and adolescents". Conclusion The framework of priority issues in the field of psychosomatic comorbidity of children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province based on CHNRI method provides a reference for optimizing the allocation of provincial research resources.

Background/Aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a primary malignant neoplasm with an extremely poor prognosis. While combined chemoradiotherapy has been demonstrated to delay CCA progression to a certain extent, the absence of specific molecular biomarkers or targets significantly hinders the diagnosis and treatment of CCA. Methods: Through cross-analysis of proteomics and ADMA modificationomics, we identified DDX1 overexpressed in CCA with elevated R602-ADMA modifications. HPLC-MS/MS identified PRMT1 as the methyltransferase and USP10 as the deubiquitinating enzyme for DDX1. Immunofluorescence and nuclear-cytoplasmic partitioning experiments confirmed DDX1’s nuclear localization. GO and KEGG analyses clarify the biological functions of DDX1 in response to hypoxia. RNA-seq transcriptomics analyzed key pathways influenced by DDX1. A hydrodynamic in situ CCA mouse model was established to validate the chemopreventive effects of the PRMT1-specific inhibitor GSK715 on CCA development. Results: DDX1 promotes CCA progression both in vivo and in vitro and can be inhibited by GSK715. Mechanistically, PRMT1 mediates ADMA modification at position R602 of DDX1. This modification promotes DDX1 nuclear localization by recruiting USP10 to deubiquitinate DDX1, while simultaneously inhibiting PRMT1 degradation. DDX1 promotes the transcription of PRMT1 and USP10 by binding to the mRNA 3’UTR region, establishing a positive feedback regulatory pathway. This mechanism promotes the occurrence and development of CCA and can serve as a target for the inhibitor GSK715 to suppress CCA progression. Conclusions Our study identified DDX1-R602-ADMA modification as a novel ADMA modification in CCA. It further confirmed its pivotal role in CCA progression. Targeting the USP10-PRMT1-DDX1 axis may represent a significant therapeutic approach for CCA.

Atherosclerosis (AS) remains the core pathological basis underlying the high incidence and high rates of mortality and disability associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) worldwide. Its essence is not merely lipid deposition, but rather an immune-mediated disease of the vascular wall characterized by an interplay of lipid metabolism disorders and chronic inflammation, with damage to vascular endothelial cells serving as the initiating event. As the disease progresses, it involves complex synergistic interactions among various cellular components, including endothelial cells, macrophages, and inflammatory cells, ultimately leading to plaque formation, instability, and even fatal thrombotic events. In recent years, the central driving role of lipid metabolic reprogramming in the progression of AS has garnered increasing attention from the scientific community. Among the vast array of lipid molecules, long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) have become a primary focus of research due to their exceptional physiological functions. Traditional views have primarily emphasized the basic physiological functions of LCFAs: serving as highly efficient energy substrates through mitochondrial β-oxidation and acting as key structural components of cellular phospholipid membranes. However, emerging evidence clearly indicates that the functions of LCFAs extend far beyond those of mere metabolic fuel. They also act as potent bioactive signaling molecules, playing an indispensable multidimensional role in the pathogenesis of AS. Equally noteworthy and representing a paradigm shift in cardiovascular research is the emerging theory of the “gut-heart axis”. This theoretical framework views the human gut microbiota—comprising trillions of microorganisms—as a critical and metabolically active “bioreactor”. A wealth of clinical and multi-cohort epidemiological studies have conclusively demonstrated that imbalances in the composition and function of the gut microbiota are highly correlated with the clinical risk and severity of AS. Within this axis, the gut microbiota serves as the primary processing hub for dietary lipids. It actively participates in the digestion and biochemical remodeling of LCFAs, thereby altering their saturation and chemical structure and generating a wide variety of gut microbial metabolites. The effects of these gut-derived lipid metabolites extend far beyond the local intestinal microenvironment. Upon entering the bloodstream, these circulating microbiota metabolites act as endocrine signals. Given the extreme complexity of the underlying mechanisms, a comprehensive elucidation of the synergistic and bidirectional interactions between LCFAs and the gut microbiota in vascular pathology is particularly urgent. Therefore, this article aims to provide a systematic review of the multidimensional regulatory mechanisms of LCFAs and their associated gut microbiota metabolites in the onset, progression, and clinical manifestations of AS. By thoroughly exploring the interaction patterns within the “LCFAs-gut microbiota-AS” triad, this review seeks to fundamentally expand our understanding of the pathogenesis of CVDs. More importantly, translating these mechanistic insights into clinical practice holds tremendous promise. We hope to provide a solid theoretical foundation for the future development of novel AS prevention and treatment strategies based on non-traditional approaches. These include precision nutritional interventions (i.e., dietary lipid intake plans tailored to an individual’s unique microbiome profile) and targeted microbiome modulation therapies (such as next-generation probiotics, prebiotics, or specific metabolite supplements). Targeting the gut as a “reactor” to treat vascular wall lesions represents a promising direction for future cardiovascular medicine.

ObjectiveTo explore the impact of comprehensive vocational rehabilitation on quality of life and return-to-work outcomes for individuals with mild work-related disability. MethodsA longitudinal observational study was conducted. A total of 343 work-injured employees receiving comprehensive vocational rehabilitation intervention in Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital from June, 2023 to December, 2024 were selected. The 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was adopted to assess their health-related quality of life at admission and discharge. All subjects were followed up within one year after discharge to collect their return-to-work status. The differences in each dimension score of SF-36 among patients with different return-to-work outcomes (return to original post, transfer to new post and non-return to work) were compared, and the independent influencing factors of return-to-work outcomes were identified. ResultsComprehensive vocational rehabilitation intervention significantly improved the scores of physical functioning (PF), role-physical (RP) and role-emotional (RE) among work-injured employees (P < 0.05). At discharge, compared with patients who failed to return to work, patients returning to original post obtained significantly higher scores in PF, RP, bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF) and mental health (MH), patients transferred to new post achieved significantly higher scores in PF, BP, GH and SF (P < 0.05). Taking non-return-to-work status as the reference category, the multinomial logistic regression model showed the adverse factors for return to original post included low educational attainment (college diploma or below), on-site placement service, increased lost workdays and low employment intention (pre-contemplation and contemplation stages); the protective factor was positive evaluation of health transition (HT); for patients transferred to new posts, adverse factors were low employment intention (pre-contemplation stage) and increased lost workdays, while protective factors covered on-site placement service and positive HT evaluation. ConclusionComprehensive vocational rehabilitation can improve the quality of life for injured workers. Better quality of life is positively associated with return-to-work outcomes. HT, education level, job placement mode, lost workdays and employment willingness are independent factors impacting return-to-work outcomes.

Objective Using cockroach surveillance data in Nanjing from 2017 to 2024, we have descriptively analyzed population characteristics and changes in insecticide resistance among Blattella germanica, and have established a seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model to predict monthly population densities in Nanjing spanning the year 2025. Methods B. germanica density and infestation rate were monitored using the sticky trap method, and insecticide resistance was assessed using the residual contact method. Our ARIMA model was applied to fit and estimate cockroach density fluctuations over time. Results From 2017 to 2024, B. germanica accounted for 94.90% of all cockroach specimens captured in Nanjing, with an average density of 0.37 cockroaches per trap and an average infestation rate of 5.56%. Significant differences in density and infestation rate were observed among different habitats (P＜0.001). Significant downward annual trends in both density and infestation rate were found (P＜0.05). ARIMA was found to be the optimal model for fitting the density data from 2017 to 2024 (0, 1, 1) × (0, 1, 1)1 2. Conclusions From 2017 to 2024, B. germanica was overwhelmingly the dominant cockroach species in Nanjing, with both its density and infestation rate declining annually. A positive correlation was observed between the amount and proportion of insecticide use and the development of insecticide resistance (P＜0.05). The established model demonstrated good performance in predicting monthly B. germanica densities in Nanjing throughout 2025, providing a valuable reference for future surveillance and control efforts.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new domestic ultra-high frequency bipolar radiofrequency ablation device. Methods Six fresh cadaveric lumbar spine specimens were used as experimental subjects, and a novel domestic ultra-high frequency bipolar radiofrequency ablation device was employed for nucleus pulposus ablation and annulus fibrosus cauterization. Nucleus pulposus ablation: a total of 18 intervertebral discs from L₁ to L₄ were selected and randomly divided into six groups. Radiofrequency electrodes were inserted into the intervertebral discs through the lateral aspect of the intervertebral foramen, and the ablation was performed at power outputs of 50 W, 75 W, and 100 W for 1 min and 2 min, respectively. The ablation of the nucleus pulposus was observed, and the ablation range was recorded. Annulus fibrosus cauterization: a total of 12 intervertebral discs from L₄ to S₁ were divided into three groups based on cauterization duration of 3 s, 10 s, or 15 s. In a water bath maintained at a constant 37 °C, cauterization was performed at power outputs of 20 W, 30 W, and 40 W, respectively. After hard tissue sectioning and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, the depth of cauterization and the carbonization of surrounding soft tissues were observed. Results No obvious vaporization cavity was observed in the nucleus pulposus at a power of 50 W for either 1 or 2 min. The 100 W–2 min group achieved the largest ablation area ([7.471±0.365] mm², P＜0.001). The temperature elevation at all four annulus fibrosus sites remained below 0.5℃ throughout the ablation process. The cauterization depth in the 20 W group was significantly lower than that in both the 30 W and 40 W groups across all time conditions (P＜0.01), whereas no statistically significant difference was observed between the latter two. In 20 W group, the cauterization depth at 3 s was significantly lower than that of the 10 s and 15 s groups (P＜0.01). No significant intra-group differences were found among subgroups with different cauterization durations in the 30 W and 40 W groups. An effective cauterization depth was already achieved at 30 W for 3 s. Conclusions Ex vivo experiments have shown that the new domestic bipolar radiofrequency ablation device possesses excellent ablation efficacy and safety parameters. For nucleus pulposus ablation, it is recommended to use 100 W for 2 min, while for annulus fibrosus cauterization and shaping, 30 W for 3 s is suggested. Its clinical application value remains to be further verified through in vivo studies.

[Objective]To investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in semen after COVID-19 infection in vaccinated individuals and to evaluate the impact of different recovery stages on sperm quality.[Methods]From January to March 2023,vaccinated male patients with recent SARS-CoV-2 infections confirmed by throat swabs were recruited from the Reproductive Medicine Center at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University.Semen samples were analyzed with RT-qPCR to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA.A retrospective analysis assessed sperm quality across recovery stages,comparing patients within 30 days of recovery to those with 30 days or more.Semen parameters evaluated included volume,total sperm count,forward motility percentage,abnormal morphology rate,and sperm DNA fragmentation index.In addition,a longitudinal self-comparison was performed to examine changes in semen quality before and after recovery(＜30 days and≥30 days).[Results]SARS-CoV-2 RNA was undetectable in the semen of all 205 patients.Neither cross-sectional comparisons nor longitudinal analyses showed significant differences in semen volume,sperm concentration,total sperm count,sperm morphology rate,sperm DNA fragmentation index,or high DNA stainability between recovery stages or compared to pre-infection values(P＞0.05).However,forward motility percentage markedly decreased during recovery,with statistical significant between groups(P＜0.05).[Conclusions]In vaccinated individuals who contracted COVID-19,SARS-CoV-2 was not transmitted through semen.Although the incidence of asthenozoospermia may increase within 30 days post-infection,this effect appears reversible in the short time.

As a cheap and effective antibiotic,sulfonamides are often used in animal husbandry.However,their residues in animal-derived foodstuffs will threaten human health.Consequently,a high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method integrated with supramolecular solvent microextraction was successfully established for simultaneous quantification of sulfonamide residues sulfachlorpyridazine,sulfamethoxazole,sulfamethoxypyridazine and sulfadimethoxine in milk matrices.This approach exhibited prominent characteristics of operational simplicity,environmental sustainability,and high extraction efficiency.The supramolecular solvents prepared by tributyl octylphosphine tetrafluoroborate and tetrahydrofuran were employed as extraction solvents.The analytes underwent isolation and concentration via dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction(DLLME)prior to quantitative determination using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The composition and microscopic morphology of the supramolecular solvent were characterized through a series of analytical techniques,including phase diagram,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and inverted fluorescence microscopy and so on.The density and pH value of supramolecular solvents were determined.The extraction conditions were optimized through the one-factor experiments.The experimental results demonstrated that under the optimal extraction conditions,the four kinds of sulfonamide antibiotics exhibited excellent linearity within respective detection range(R2 ≥ 0.9998)and the limits of detection(LOD)were 0.67-1.45 μg/L.Compared with literature methods,this approach offered some advantages such as simplicity of operation and less reagent consumption,and could be used for analysis and detection of sulfonamide antibiotic residues in milk samples.The present method provided technical support for food safety regulation and paved a new way for the application of supramolecular solvents in the field of extraction and separation.

Aim To investigate the antidepressant mechanism of hyperforin via the utilization of single-cell sequencing technology.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group,depres-sion model group,and hyperforin intervention group.The chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)model was induced and drug interventions were administered for 28 d.Behavioral experiments were conducted to as-sess depressive symptoms,and hippocampal tissue was collected for single-cell RNA sequencing.Key cell populations and differentially expressed genes across groups were identified,followed by PPI network,GO,and KEGG enrichment analysis.Results Behavioral experiments indicated that CUMS successfully induced depressive symptoms in mice,while hyperforin im-proved depressive behavior.In the depression model group,the proportion of brain perivascular macrophages(PVM)increased,and this proportion decreased after hyperforin intervention,approaching the level seen in the control group.The top 20 common differentially ex-pressed genes in the PVM subpopulation were Saa3,Hbb-bs and Ccl24.PPI network analysis identified core targets,including Ccl2,Dhx9,C3,Msr1,Cxcl2 and Cx3cr1.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed pathways related to chemokines,phagosome formation,and inosi-tol phosphate metabolism.Conclusion The antide-pressant mechanism of hyperforin may be related to the regulation of Ccl24 and its related chemokine signaling pathway by PVM.

Objective:To analyze the association of peripheral blood systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR)with disease severity and progno-sis in elderly patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease(CPHD).Methods:A total of 180 elderly CPHD pa-tients admitted in Xuancheng Central Hospital between September 2021 and January 2023 were enrolled as case group.Healthy volunteers who simultaneously underwent physical examinations in our hospital were selected as con-trol group(n=50).According to the 28d prognosis,the case group was divided into death group(n=45)and sur-vival group(n=135).Levels of peripheral blood SII,NLR and PLR were compared among above-mentioned groups;Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the association of above indexes with cardiac function class and prognosis in these patients.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze risk factors for death in these patients.The predictive value of SII,NLR,and PLR for death in elderly CPHD patients was ana-lyzed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:Compared with those in control group,those in the case group had significant higher levels of peripheral blood SII,NLR and PLR(P＜0.001 all).Compared with NYHA class Ⅱ group and class Ⅲ group,those in class Ⅳ group had significant higher levels of peripheral blood SII[(1759.87±179.43)vs.(1148.33±121.57)vs.(1392.44±146.36)],NLR[(8.65±0.89)vs.(7.14±0.75)vs.(7.76±0.81)],PLR[(152.45±16.79)vs.(125.29±13.46)vs.(138.77±13.58)];and levels of peripheral blood SII,NLR,PLR in class Ⅲ group were significantly higher than those of class Ⅱ group(P＜0.001 all).Com-pared with patients in survival group,those in death group had significant higher levels of peripheral blood SII[(1723.86±189.65)vs.(1296.81±142.33)],NLR[(8.24±0.89)vs.(7.63±0.78)],PLR[(148.75±15.26)vs.(134.41±14.58)](P＜0.001 all).Spearman correlation analysis indicated that the levels of peripheral blood SII,NLR and PLR were significant positively correlated with the severity and poor prognosis(r=0.336～0.432,P＜0.05 or＜0.01;r=0.319～0.504,P＜0.05 or＜0.01)in elderly CPHD patients.Multivariate Logistic regression analy-sis indicated that peripheral blood SII,NLR,PLR and smoking were independent risk factors for death(OR=1.024～9.514,P＜0.05 or＜0.01)in elderly CPHD patients.ROC curve indicated that area under curve(AUC)of combination of SII,NLR and PLR predicting death in elderly CPHD patients was 0.979(95％CI 0.946～0.995),significantly higher than those of each single detection[SII:0.847(95％CI 0.786～0.896),NLR:0.832(95％CI 0.769～0.883),PLR:0.881(95％CI 0.825～0.925),Z=3.988,4.386,4.217,P＜0.01 all].The nomogram calibration curve and decision curve showed good consistency and net benefit of the model.Conclusion:Peripheral blood SII,NLR and PLR are associat-ed with the severity and prognosis of elderly CPHD patients,and have certain predictive value for patient's prognosis.
