Objective: To investigate the impact of milk and egg supplementation on body composition and bone mineral density of rural primary school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a reference for developing targeted nutritional intervention strategies. Methods: In December 2023, a cluster sampling method was adopted to select students from grades one to three in four primary schools each from Jinggu and Shidian countys of Yunnan Province, as the intervention group (662 students). Additionally, two boarding primary schools were selected from each county based on the principle of matching scale and student numbers as the control group (455 students). Starting from April 2023, the intervention group received 200 mL milk and 50 g eggs during the break on school days for 8 months, while the control group maintained their usual diet behavior. Body composition was measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis, and distal radial bone mineral density was assessed via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in April and December 2023. The intervention effects were analyzed by using a difference in-differences approach. Results: The final measurements of body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass and fat free mass of the intervention group and the control group of primary school students were significantly higher than the baseline values, and the net effect of milk and egg intervention on these body composition indicators was not statistically significant ( P >0.05, both before and after adjustment). In contrast, bone mineral density increased significantly by 0.02 g/cm 2 in the intervention group. The net intervention effect on bone mineral density was statistically significant ( β=0.02, 95%CI =0.00-0.04), and remained significant after model adjustment ( β=0.02, 95%CI =0.00-0.04) (both P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed statistically significant effects of the intervention among girls ( β=0.02, 95%CI =0.00-0.04), day students ( β=0.04, 95%CI =0.01-0.07), and students with normal nutritional status ( β=0.02, 95%CI =0.00-0.04) (all P <0.05). No significant effect of milk and egg supplementation was observed on body composition indicators (all P <0.05). Conclusions Milk and egg supplementation can improve bone mineral density among rural primary school students in Yunnan Province. It is recommended that rural school aged children should increase intake of milk and eggs to support growth and development.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect and safety of Governer Vessel （督脉） moxibustion on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis （ALS） patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency. MethodsForty-four ALS patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency were finally enrolled， and they were divided into 22 cases each in the treatment group and the control group. The control group was treated with oral riluzole tablets， intravenous drip of edaravone injection， oral Qiu's Wenshen Zhiwei Decoction （裘氏温肾止痿汤）， and conventional rehabilitation nursing， while the treatment group was additionally given Governer Vessel moxibustion based on the control group. The moxibustion treatment was applied once a week for a course of 2 weeks. Both groups were treated for 3 months. The scores of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis symptom score in integrative treatments （ALS-SSIT） for evaluating therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis functional rating scale-revised （ALSFRS-R） were assessed before treatment and after 1 month， 2 months and 3 months treatment， and the occurrence of adverse reactions in both groups was observed. ResultsThe treatment group showed a significant decrease in oropharyngeal function score， muscle function score， and non-motor symptom score， and an increase in ALSFRS-R scale scores after 1， 2， and 3 months of treatment （P＜0.05）. The scores of oropharyngeal function and muscle function in the control group increased， while the ALSFRS-R score decreased after 1， 2 and 3 months of treatment， and the non-motor symptom score decreased after 2 and 3 months of treatment （P＜0.05）. The scores of muscle function and non-motor symptoms in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group after 1 month of treatment； the scores of oropharyngeal function， muscle function and non-motor symptoms were lower than those in the control group， while the ALSFRS-R score was higher after 2 months and 3 months of treatment （P＜0.05）. Constipation （3 cases）， skin itching （2 cases）， skin rash （1 case）， and dry mouth and tongue （1 case） occurred in the treatment group， while there were 2， 1， 2， and 2 cases of each adverse reaction in the control group， respectively， with no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups （P＞0.05）. ConclusionDu mai moxibustion on the basis of integrated Chinese and western medication and conventional rehabilitation care can help improve some clinical symptoms of ALS patients with spleen-kidney yang deficiency， and has good safety.

BACKGROUND:With a gradually aging population,improving the ability to screen for the risk of death after arthroplasty and implementing timely personalized intervention programs for the increasing number of elderly patients with femoral neck fractures is key to improving the postoperative status of patients and prolonging survival expectations. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the risk factors for postoperative mortality in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures and to construct a nomogram predictive model to predict their mortality risk. METHODS:The study was conducted on 155 elderly patients(≥65 years old)who underwent arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture from January 2016 to January 2021,and 147 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed to collect clinical data that may affect the patients'postoperative mortality.Single-factor and multi-factor Cox regression analyses were successively used to screen independent risk factors associated with postoperative mortality.The column line graph model was constructed and validated using Rstudio software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Age,frailty(age-adjusted Charlson comorbidities score),preoperative activity status,osteoporosis,and postoperative serum albumin level were five independent risk factors for postoperative mortality in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures(P<0.05).(2)The nomogram predictive model was constructed based on the results of multifactorial analysis,with a consistency index of 0.819(95%CI:0.771-0.868).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under curve for 1-year and 3-year survival prediction was 0.8543 and 0.7263,respectively,indicating that the nomogram predictive model has good discriminatory and predictive power;calibration curve and decision curve analysis also showed good model discriminative power and clinical utility value.(3)The constructed nomogram predictive model has good diagnostic efficacy and accuracy,and can effectively assess the risk of postoperative death of patients.

The new medical reform takes the major aim to facilitate the expansion of high-quality medical resources and balance the regional distribution of the resources so as to meet the people's growing demand for high-quality healthcare.To exem-plify the expansion and balance of the high-quality resources,this paper scrutinizes the cooperation between aiding and aided hos-pitals by taking a state-level regional medical center hospital in Guizhou Province as an example.With cooperation-oriented pro-jects,the hospital achieved a homogenized development with the hospitals in developed regions in management,personnel,tech-nology,discipline,and hospital culture by introducing the high-quality resources from those hospitals.Such homogenized devel-opments empower the high-quality development of health care services in the less-developed regions of southwest China.Further-more,the experience of the hospital offers a reference for the development of other aided hospitals of state-level regional medical centers under new circumstances.

Objective To assess the risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)bloodstream infection(BSI)and 28-day short-term mortality in elderly patients,and provide reference for the pre-vention and treatment of CRAB BSI.Methods Clinical data of patients aged ≥60 years and diagnosed with AB BSI in a hospital in Yulin City from January 2013 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,including demogra-phic and microbiological characteristics,as well as clinical outcomes of the patients.Variables which were significant in univariate analysis were selected for multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression model and Cox propor-tional hazards model.Independent risk factors for infection were further determined,and survival analysis was per-formed using Kaplan-Meier curve.Results A total of 150 patients were included in the study,out of which 16 pa-tients(10.7％)had CRAB BSI and 134 had carbapenem-sensitive AB(CSAB)BSI.The 28-day short-term mortali-ty of AB BSI in elderly patients was 15.3％(23/150,95％CI:9.6％-21.1％),and the short-term mortality of CRAB BSI was higher than that of CSAB([56.3％,9/16]vs[10.4％,14/134]).Deep venous catheterization(OR:15.598,95％CI:1.831-132.910)and combined infections of other sites(OR:15.449,95％CI:1.497-159.489)were related to CRAB BSI in elderly patients.The independent risk factors for 28-day mortality in elderly patients with AB BSI were hemodialysis(OR:11.856,95％CI:2.924-48.076),intensive care unit admission(OR:9.387,95％CI:1.941-45.385),and pulmonary infection being suspected source of bacteremia(OR:7.019,95％CI:1.345-36.635).Conclusion The occurrence of CRAB BSI in elderly patients is related to the combined infection of other sites and deep vein catheterization.Hemodialysis,admission to ICU,and pulmonary infection being suspected source of bacteremia are independent risk factors for the prognosis of AB BSI in elderly patients.

In recent years,the isolation rate of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneunoniae(CRKP)in China has increased year by year.Due to its multidrug resistance and high mortality in patients,CRKP brings severe challen-ges to the clinical treatment.The major mechanism of drug resistance in CRKP is the production of carbapenemases,with Ambler A,B,and D being the common types while Ambler type C comparativly rare.Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase(KPC)is the most common carbapenemase,which belongs to type A.KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae(KPC-KP)widely spreads in the world,with very limited number of effective clinical drugs.In this re-view,advances in the treatment KPC-KP were summarized to provide reference for clinical treatment.

Objective To evaluate the value of miniprobe endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)in guiding endoscopic treatment of small-diameter(maximum diameter less than 1 cm)and low-grade(G1 grade)rectum neuroendocrine neoplasm(R-NEN),and to provide evidence and clues for its clinical application and further research.Methods The clinical data of 85 cases of low-grade(G1 grade)R-NEN with a maximum diameter of less than 1 cm who underwent endoscopic treatment in our center from January 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into the EUS group(37 cases)and control group(48 cases)according to whether EUS was performed before endoscopic treatment.The positive rate of incision margin,the incidence of complications,the recurrence rate,the hospital stay,the cost of hospitalization and endoscopic therapy were compared between the two groups.Results The positive rate of incision margin in the EUS group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications,tumor recurrence rate,hospital stay or hospital costs between the two groups(P>0.05).There was statistically significant difference in the endoscopic therapy between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Evaluating the lesion depth of small-diameter and low-grade(G1 grade)R-NEN before surgery by miniprobe EUS and selecting endoscopic surgery according to its results of can significantly reduce the residual risk of resection margin tumors.
