Objective:
To investigate the status and influencing factors of nutritional health knowledge awareness among primary and middle school students in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for carrying out targeted nutrition health education for students.
Methods:
The stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select students from 48 schools across 12 counties (cities and districts) in Wenzhou City as survey subjects from October 2023 to February 2024. Basic information, parental information, and nutritional health knowledge were collected using the Questionnaire on nutritional health knowledge for School-Age Children. The awareness rate of nutritional health knowledge was analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for nutritional health knowledge awareness among primary and middle school students.
Results:
The survey included 4 405 boys, accounting for 51.42%, and 4 161 girls, accounting for 48.58%. The sample consisted of 2 497 pupils in Grades 1-3 (29.15%), 2 591 pupils in Grades 4-6 (30.25%), 1 739 junior high school students (20.30%), and 1 739 senior high school students (20.30%). The median score of nutrition health knowledge was 75.00 (interquartile range, 19.00), and the awareness rate was 4 524 (52.81%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that girls (OR=1.317, 95%CI: 1.198-1.447), primary school students (Grades 1-3, OR=7.830, 95%CI: 6.444-9.513; Grades 4-6, OR=1.276, 95%CI: 1.066-1.528), and those whose mothers had an educational level above junior high school (senior high school/technical secondary school/technical school/junior college, OR=1.188, 95%CI: 1.044-1.352; bachelor' s degree or above, OR=1.194, 95%CI: 1.024-1.392) had a higher likelihood of nutrition and health knowledge awareness. Conversely, students who were overweight or obese (OR=0.798, 95%CI: 0.671-0.950), lived in school (OR=0.763, 95%CI: 0.650-0.895), and had a daily outdoor activity duration of <30 minutes (OR=0.641, 95%CI: 0.570-0.721) had a lower likelihood of nutritional health knowledge awareness.
Conclusions
The awareness rate of nutritional health knowledge among primary and middle school students in Wenzhou City needs to be improved, and is mainly influenced by gender, educational stage, body mass index, mother' s educational level, and outdoor activity duration. It is recommended to implement differentiated health education strategies and build a "family-school-community" linkage mechanism to improve students' nutrition health literacy.

Objective:
To investigate the correlation between the levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide α (CGRPα) and the poor responses to the treatment of phenylephrine in pregnant women with hypotension during caesarean section under intraspinal anesthesia.
Methods :
A total of 87 pregnant women who underwent intraspinal anesthesia cesarean section were recruited . They were grouped according to the presence or absence of hypotension after anesthesia and the response to ephedrine and Phe . As to Anesthesia-0 group , pregnant women had no hypo- tension , 35 cases (40. 2% ) ; Anesthesia-1 group , pregnant women had hypotension and good response to ephed- rine treatment , 12 cases (13 . 8% ) ; Anesthesia-2 group , pregnant women had hypotension and had poor response to ephedrine treatment , 6 cases (6. 9% ) ; Anesthesia-3 group , pregnant women had hypotension and good response to Phe treatment , 8 cases (9. 2% ) ; Anesthesia-4 group , pregnant women had hypotension and no response to Phe treatment , 26 cases (29. 9% ) . The levels of CGRPαin serum and placental tissues of pregnant women were deter- mined by ELISA . The rats pregnant normally. A hypotension rat model was established by intragastric administra- tion of risserpine . 50 rats were randomly divided into control group , model group , pregnancy group , model + preg- nancy group , model + pregnancy + phenylephrine group , with 10 rats in each group . Body weight of the rats was continuously monitored during the 2nd to 6th week of risserpine administration . Systolic blood pressure was meas- ured at the end of the 6th induction week . And the peripheral blood sample and placental tissues were collected and the levels of CGRPαwere determined .
Results :
The detection of CGRPαlevels in the pregnant women serum and placental tissues showed that compared with Anesthesia-0 group , CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-1-4 groups serum were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-3 group , serum CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-2 group , CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group serum were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-0 group , tissues CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-3 group , CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group tissues were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-2 group , CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group tissues were higher ( P < 0. 05) . From the 2nd to 6th week of hypotension modeling induction , compared with pregnancy group , body weight decreased in the model + pregnancy group and the model + pregnancy + phenylephrine group (P < 0. 05) . There was no signifi- cant difference in baseline systolic blood pressure among all groups (P > 0. 05) . At the end of the 6th week , com- pared with pregnancy group , systolic blood pressure decreased in model + pregnancy group and model + pregnancy + phenylephrine group(P < 0. 05) ; the levels of CGRPαin serum and placental tissues increased ( P < 0. 05) . Compared with model + pregnancy group , systolic blood pressure increased in model + pregnancy + phenylephrine group (P < 0. 05) .
Conclusion
The poor response of pregnant women with hypotension during caesarean section under intraspinal anesthesia to the treatment of phenylephrine may be related to the increased levels of CGRPαin placenta and peripheral blood .

Inflammatory diseases (IDs) are a general term of diseases characterized by chronic inflammation as the primary pathogenetic mechanism, which seriously affect the quality of patient′s life and cause significant social and medical burden. Current drugs for IDs include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologics, and antioxidants, but these drugs may cause gastrointestinal side effects, induce or worsen infections, and cause non-response or intolerance. Given the outstanding performance of metal polyphenol network (MPN) in the fields of drug delivery, biomedical imaging, and catalytic therapy, its application in the diagnosis and treatment of IDs has attracted much attention and significant progress has been made. In this paper, we first provide an overview of the types of IDs and their generating mechanisms, then sort out and summarize the different forms of MPN in recent years, and finally discuss in detail the characteristics of MPN and their latest research progress in the diagnosis and treatment of IDs. This research may provide useful references for scientific research and clinical practice in the related fields.

ObjectiveTo develop a predictive model and application for spontaneous passage of common bile duct stones using automated machine learning algorithms given the complexity of treatment decision-making for patients with common bile duct stones, and to reduce unnecessary endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the data of 835 patients who were scheduled for ERCP after a confirmed diagnosis of common bile duct stones based on imaging techniques in Changshu First People’s Hospital (dataset 1) and Changshu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (dataset 2). The dataset 1 was used for the training and internal validation of the machine learning model and the development of an application, and the dataset 2 was used for external testing. A total of 22 potential predictive variables were included for the establishment and internal validation of the LASSO regression model and various automated machine learning models. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were used to assess the performance of models and identify the best model. Feature importance plots, force plots, and SHAP plots were used to interpret the model. The Python Dash library and the best model were used to develop a web application, and external testing was conducted using the dataset 2. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine whether the data were normally distributed, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between two groups, while the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsAmong the 835 patients included in the study, 152 (18.20%) experienced spontaneous stone passage. The LASSO model achieved an AUC of 0.875 in the training set (n=588) and 0.864 in the validation set (n=171), and the top five predictive factors in terms of importance were solitary common bile duct stones, non-dilated common bile duct, diameter of common bile duct stones, a reduction in serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and a reduction in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). A total of 55 models were established using automated machine learning, among which the gradient boosting machine (GBM) model had the best performance, with an AUC of 0.891 (95% confidence interval: 0.859 — 0.927), outperforming the extreme randomized tree mode, the deep learning model, the generalized linear model, and the distributed random forest model. The GBM model had an accuracy of 0.855, a sensitivity of 0.846, and a specificity of 0.857 in the test set (n=76). The variable importance analysis showed that five factors had important influence on the prediction of spontaneous stone passage, i.e., were solitary common bile duct stones, non-dilated common bile duct, a stone diameter of <8 mm, a reduction in serum ALP, and a reduction in GGT. The SHAP analysis of the GBM model showed a significant increase in the probability of spontaneous stone passage in patients with solitary common bile duct stones, non-dilated common bile duct, a stone diameter of <8 mm, and a reduction in serum ALP or GGT. ConclusionThe GBM model and application developed using automated machine learning algorithms exhibit excellent predictive performance and user-friendliness in predicting spontaneous stone passage in patients with common bile duct stones. This application can help avoid unnecessary ERCP procedures, thereby reducing surgical risks and healthcare costs.

ObjectiveTo identify the main chemical constituents of Anmeidan (AMD) and to explore the mechanism of AMD in regulating the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (MNK)/eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) signaling pathway to improve circadian rhythm disturbances in insomnia rats. MethodsThe main chemical constituents of AMD were identified using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic orbital trap mass spectrometry (UPLC-LTQ/Orbitrap/MS) in combination with reference standards. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control, model, melatonin, and AMD low-, medium-, and high-dose groups, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group, all rats were administered p-chlorophenylalanine via intraperitoneal injection to establish an insomnia model. The activity-rest rhythm of rats was assessed using the open field test and circadian rhythm test. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining were used to observe structural changes in hypothalamic neurons. Immunofluorescence, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and Western blot analysis were employed to detect mRNA and protein expression levels of ERK1/2, MNK, and eIF4E in the hypothalamus. ResultsA total of 50 chemical components, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, triterpenoid saponins, alkaloids, and lignans, were identified in AMD. Compared with the control group, the model group exhibited significantly increased total distance traveled, average speed, central area residence time, and cumulative rearing time (P<0.01), as well as prolonged cumulative activity time and total activity time in both light and dark phases (P<0.01). Hypothalamic neurons in the model group were sparsely arranged, reduced in number, and exhibited nuclear disappearance or nucleolar rupture, with a significantly increased apoptosis index (P<0.01). The cytoplasm appeared turbid, Nissl body staining was lighter, and the Nissl body apoptosis index was significantly increased (P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of ERK1/2, MNK, and eIF4E were significantly decreased (P<0.01), along with a significant reduction in protein expression levels of ERK1/2, phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2), MNK, phosphorylated MNK (p-MNK), eIF4E, and phosphorylated eIF4E (p-eIF4E) (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the total distance, average speed, central area residence time and body upright cumulative time of the AMD high-dose group were significantly reduced (P<0.01). The total distance, average speed and body upright cumulative time of the AMD medium-dose group were significantly reduced (P<0.01). The cumulative time of light activity and total time of activity in each dose group of AMD were significantly shortened (P<0.01). The cumulative time of dark activity in the high-dose group of AMD was prolonged (P<0.01). The neurons in the middle and high dose groups of AMD were closely arranged, the number of neurons increased, and the apoptosis index of hypothalamic cells decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). The cytoplasm of the low, middle and high dose groups of AMD was clear, the color of Nissl body became darker, and the apoptosis index of Nissl body decreased significantly (P<0.01). The expression of ERK1/2, MNK and eIF4E mRNA and protein in the hypothalamus of the middle and high dose groups of AMD increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionAMD primarily contains 50 chemical constituents, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, and triterpenoid saponins. It exhibits a "synergistic enhancement" effect through multiple components and multiple pathways to improve insomnia. AMD ameliorates circadian rhythm disturbances in p-chlorophenylalanine-induced insomnia rats by upregulating ERK1/2/MNK/eIF4E signaling pathway-related proteins.

Resistance to poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) presents a considerable obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer. F-box and tryptophan-aspartic (WD) repeat domain containing 11 (FBXW11) modulates the ubiquitination of growth-and invasion-related factors in lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and osteosarcoma. The function of FBXW11 in PARPi therapy is still ambiguous. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) showed that FBXW11 expression was raised in ovarian cancer cells that had been treated with PARPi. FBXW11 was abnormally expressed at low levels in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) tissues, and low levels of FBXW11 were associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in HGSOC patients. Overexpressing FBXW11 made ovarian cancer more sensitive to PARPi, while knocking down FBXW11 made it less sensitive. The four-dimensional (4D) label-free quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that FBXW11 targeted S100 calcium binding protein A11 (S100A11) and promoted its degradation through ubiquitination. The increased degradation of S100A11 led to less efficient DNA damage repair, which in turn contributed to increased PARPi-induced DNA damage. The role of FBXW11 in promoting PARPi sensitivity was also confirmed in xenograft mouse models. In summary, our study confirms that FBXW11 promotes the susceptibility of ovarian cancer cells to PARPi via affecting S100A11-mediated DNA damage repair.

OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality based on the 10-year population-based multicenter prospective study.
METHODS:
A general population-based multicenter prospective study was conducted at four sites in rural China between 2013 and 2023. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between BMI and mortality. Stratified analyses were performed based on the individual characteristics of the participants.
RESULTS:
Overall, 19,107 participants with a sum of 163,095 person-years were included and 1,910 participants died. The underweight (< 18.5 kg/m 2) presented an increase in all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio [ aHR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.66-2.41), while overweight (≥ 24.0 to < 28.0 kg/m 2) and obesity (≥ 28.0 kg/m 2) presented a decrease with an aHR of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.52-0.73) and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.37-0.70), respectively. Overweight ( aHR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67-0.86) and mild obesity ( aHR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59-0.87) had a positive impact on mortality in people older than 60 years. All-cause mortality decreased rapidly until reaching a BMI of 25.7 kg/m 2 ( aHR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98) and increased slightly above that value, indicating a U-shaped association. The beneficial impact of being overweight on mortality was robust in most subgroups and sensitivity analyses.
CONCLUSION
This study provides additional evidence that overweight and mild obesity may be inversely related to the risk of death in individuals older than 60 years. Therefore, it is essential to consider age differences when formulating health and weight management strategies.
