Objective: To explore the longitudinal association between weight trajectories and physical fitness test composite scores among primary school students, so as to provide empirical evidence for school based weight management and physical health promotion. Methods: A total of 2 112 students from a primary school in Beijing who participated in physical fitness assessments annually from 2008 to 2023 were included and classified into different body weight trajectory groups based on body mass index (BMI) threshold: "normal/overweight-obese". Group based trajectory model was used to identify distinct weight trajectories. Generalized estimating equation and Cox regression were used to analyze the associations between weight trajectories and changes in physical fitness test scores, as well as event risks. Robustness checks were conducted. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among primary school students was 26.50%. BMI showed a significant negative correlation with physical fitness composite scores ( r=-0.19, P <0.01). Four types of weight trajectories were identified: persistent normal group (64.5%, 1 362), persistent overweight- obese group (18.2%, 385), normal to overweight-obese group (14.0%, 296), and overweight-obese to normal group (3.3%, 69). Compared to the persistent normal group, both the normal to overweight-obese and persistent overweight-obese groups showed significantly higher risks of failing the physical fitness test ( HR =4.23, 4.60), and the speed of achieving excellent was slower ( HR = 0.52, 0.40) (all P <0.05). Robustness tests confirmed the stability of the findings. Conclusions Body weight trajectories have a long term impact on physical fitness performance among primary school students. Students with persistent or progressive overweight-obese trajectories have limited score improvement and a higher risk of failure; primary school students with persistent or progressive overweight and obesity should be a key focus.

Objective:To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Duhuo Jisheng Decoction on type Ⅱ collagen emulsion induced arthritis (CIA) model rats from the perspective of M1/M2 macrophage balance mediated development of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods:SD rats were divided into a normal group of 8 and a model group of 32. The CIA model was established using collagen antibody induction method for modeling. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, methotrexate group, and Duhuo Jisheng Decoction medium- and high-dosage groups using a random number table method, with 8 rats in each group. Duhuo Jisheng Decoction medium- and high-dosage groups were orally administered with Duhuo Jisheng Decoction at dosages of 13.5 and 27.0 g/kg, once a day; methotrexate group received oral administration of 2.0 mg/kg methotrexate twice a week; normal group and model group were given equal volumes of physiological saline by gavage once a day for 28 consecutive days. The general condition of each group of rats was observed, the degree of swelling in the right knee joint was measured, and the arthritis index was scored; HE was used to observe pathological changes in synovial tissue; immunofluorescence was used to detect the expressions of markers CD86 and CD206 in synovial macrophages; Real time PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, and TGF-β in synovial tissue.Results:Duhuo Jisheng Decoction could significantly improve the mental state of the rats and reduced the swelling of the knee joints and the arthritis index ( P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the cartilage structure in the knees of rats in the Duhuo Jisheng Decoction group was more intact and clearer. The expression level of the M1 macrophage marker CD86 significantly decreased, and the expression level of the M2 macrophage marker CD206 significantly increased; the mRNA expressions of IL-6 and TNF-α in the knee joint synovial tissue were significantly reduced ( P<0.05), while IL-10 and TGF-β levels significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Duhuo Jisheng Decoction may promote macrophage polarization towards M2 type, thereby achieving M1/M2 macrophage balance, alleviating inflammatory response in rheumatoid arthritis rats, and exerting therapeutic effects on rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective:To explore the safety of laparoscopic modified transcystic biliary drainage(modified C-tube technique)in the treatment of biliary stones and application of diagnosing biliary disease.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 68 cases of biliary stones successfully treated with laparoscopic modified C-tube technique from August 2021 to December 2023.The safety,effectiveness,and area of applications were analyzed.The reliability of the principle of the modified fixation method was verified by using an ex vivo gallbladder.Results:Three cases of ex vivo gallbladder demonstrated that the strength of the modified fixation method was reliable,and the sinus tract formed by suture after immediate extraction of the C tube could be dislocated and closed,resisting the bile outflow caused by the weight of the gallbladder.Among the 68 patients,42 were difficult biliary stones,6 were suspected common bile duct stones,and 5 were extrahepatic bile duct stones combined with intrahepatic bile duct stones.Among them,48 cases underwent choledochoscopy assisted trans-choledochal approach for stone removal,and 10 cases underwent transcystic approach stone removal,Six patients underwent simply basket exploration and removal of stones through the cystic duct(5 patients had no residual stones on postoperative C-tube angiography,1 patient had suspected residual stones,and the patient refused further examination and treatment for no symptom),and 4 patients only underwent biliary drainage through the cystic duct;two patients with retained stone passed after the use of topical nitrate drip infusion via C-tube,seven cases underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP),stone removal with the assistance of a C-tube after laparoscopic surgery,and the results were uneventful.The mean surgical time was(131±44)min(76-279 min),the maximum daily drainage volume of the C-tube was(401±235)mL/d(10-1 150 mL/d),the hospital stay was(8.6±3.6)d(2-19 d),and the mean time of C-tube removal was(11±6.9)d(5-46 d).There were 14 overall complications,including 2 residual stones,and 12 C-tube related complications,comprising of 1 gradeⅢ a,2 grade Ⅱ,and 9 grade Ⅰ.There were 9 cases of C-tube related adverse events that did not cause complications,including 3 of early detachment,2 of displacement,and 4 of deep insertion.The median follow-up time after surgery was 21(2-30)months,and 5 patients had recurrent stones.Among them,4 patients had slow contrast outflow during cholangiogram,and 1 patient had obvious pancreaticobiliary reflux.55 patients underwent C-tube amylase measurement,and 9 cases showed a significant increase in bile amylase(349-44 936 U/L),suggesting the presence of pancreaticobiliary reflux.Conclusion:Laparoscopic modified C-tube technique can be effectively used in the treatment of biliary stones,which is relatively safe and can be attempted in the diagnosis of biliary diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the occurrence of pancreaticobiliary reflux and its clinical and imaging characteristics in patients after common bile duct stone surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 123 patients who underwent bile amylase measurement after common bile duct stone extraction was conducted to analyze the occurrence of pancreaticobiliary reflux and its correlation with clinicoradiological data.Results:Among the 123 patients, 72 patients had pancreaticobiliary reflux (58.5%), of which 10 were in a state of high biliary amylase levels. Among the 32 patients who underwent simultaneous measurement of C-tube cephalic (liver side) and caudal (duodenal papilla side) amylase, the cephalic side amylase was lower than the caudal side amylase with a significant statistical difference ( P<0.001). Compared with patients without pancreaticobiliary reflux, patients in the status of pancreaticobiliary reflux and high biliary amylase levels were no statistically significant difference in age, gender, emergency visit, papillary diverticulum, preoperative biliary pancreatitis, preoperative common bile duct diameter, C-tube cholangiography common bile duct diameter, and imaging common bile duct diameter>10mm. Among the 123 patients in this group, 5 cases showed pancreaticobiliary maljunction on C-tube cholangiography, of which only 1 case had such manifestation by preoperative MRCP. There was no statistically significant difference in amylase levels between patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction and patients with occult pancreaticobiliary reflux ( P=0.698). Conclusions:Pancreatic bile reflux is common among patients after choledocholithotomy, with a lack of preoperative clinical imaging predictive method. Bile amylase measurement is the key to diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic and immunotherapeutic significance of androgen receptor V1 (ARV1) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and to explore its mechanism in CRC progression.Methods:The relationship between ARV1 expression and CRC prognosis was analyzed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA). Gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed to identify potential mechanisms through which ARV1 regulates CRC progression. Multiple public databases were used to analyze the correlation between ARV1 and immune cell infiltration and to predict the sensitivity of ARV1 to immunotherapy and chemotherapeutic drugs. Immunohistochemical validation was conducted using postoperative specimens from 199 CRC patients, and clinical correlations were analyzed.Results:ARV1 expression was significantly lower in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues ( P<0.001). Patients with high ARV1 expression exhibited better overall survival than those with low expression ( P=0.016). Clinical analysis indicated that ARV1 serves as an independent prognostic factor in CRC, and its expression was associated with age and clinical stage (all P<0.01). GO analysis revealed that ARV1 influenced multiple pathways in CRC. Immune-related analysis demonstrated that ARV1 participated in regulating immune cell infiltration in CRC. Drug sensitivity analysis showed differences in responses to various chemotherapeutic agents between high and low ARV1 expression groups ( P<0.01). In immunotherapy, significant differences in Immunophenotype Score (IPS) were observed between high and low ARV1 expression groups in PD1-negative/CTLA4-negative patients ( P<0.05). Immunohistochemical results from 199 CRC patients confirmed that low ARV1 expression was associated with poorer prognosis ( P<0.001). Conclusions:ARV1 expression affects CRC prognosis and may serve as a potential novel biomarker for immunotherapy in CRC.

Objective:To investigate the protocol and clinical efficacy of hair follicle-bearing microskin (HF-MS) transplantation in the treatment of hypertrophic scars.Methods:Prospective randomized controlled trial. From January to November 2024, patients with hypertrophic scars were recruited from the Medical Cosmetic Center of Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital with Westlake University School of Medicine and the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Ningbo Sixth Hospital. Patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group using a random number table. In the observation group, 1.0 mm punch decompression was performed on the hypertrophic scar area, followed by implantation of HF-MS extracted from the scalp donor site using follicular unit excision (FUE) into the decompression pores. The control group underwent only 1.0 mm punch decompression. Vancouver scar scale (VSS) scores (total score 0-15, higher scores indicating more severe scarring) were assessed preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Efficacy at 6 months, improvement in hypertrophic scar area, hair survival rate (observation group), adverse reactions, and patients’ satisfaction rates were evaluated. Categorical data were expressed as frequency (%) and analyzed using chi-square tests; normally distributed measurement data were expressed as Mean ± SD and analyzed using independent samples t-tests. Results:A total of 50 patients were included (25 per group), with 22 males and 28 females, aged 18-60 years (mean age: 33 years). The effective rate was 92% (23/25) in the observation group and 68% (17/25) in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Preoperative VSS scores did not differ significantly between the observation and control groups [(6.67±3.19) vs. (7.12±2.89), P>0.05]. At 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, the observation group had VSS scores of (5.48±2.60), (4.64±2.39), and (3.80±2.10), respectively, compared to (6.36±2.53), (5.84±2.28), and (5.32±2.09) in the control group. The 6-month postoperative VSS scores differed significantly between groups ( P<0.05). Preoperative hypertrophic scar areas showed no significant difference [(5.75±2.83) cm 2 vs. (6.91±3.31) cm 2,P>0.05]. At 6 months postoperatively, the observation group had significantly smaller scar areas than the control group [(3.15±1.55) cm 2 vs. (5.37±2.93) cm 2,P<0.01]. The average hair survival rate in the observation group was 41% at 6 months. Adverse reactions occurred in 3 cases in the observation group (2 skin indurations, 1 hyperpigmentation) and 7 cases in the control group (4 hyperpigmentation, 2 skin atrophy, 1 skin induration). The observation group had a significantly lower adverse reaction rate [12% (3/25) vs. 28% (7/25), P<0.05]. Patient satisfaction rates were 88% (22/25) in the observation group and 64% (16/25) in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:HF-MS transplantation demonstrates definitive clinical efficacy in treating hypertrophic scars, effectively improving scar morphology, clinical symptoms, and patient quality of life.

Background: Isoliquiritigenin, a key pharmacologically active compound derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, can be further modified into various high-value 5-deoxyflavones, demonstrating significant potential for pharmaceutical development. Currently, the supply of isoliquiritigenin primarily depends on plant extraction. However, heterologous synthesis using microbial cell factories presents a promising alternative, offering a solution to resource limitations caused by the dwindling availability of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Objective: This study aimed to employ heterologous synthesis in yeast strains for the stable and high-efficiency production of isoliquiritigenin. Methods: First, a stable chassis strain for isoliquiritigenin production was constructed by integrating optimized biosynthetic pathway enzyme genes. A type IV noncatalytic chalcone isomerase-like protein and a synthetic protein scaffold system were employed to enhance the metabolic channeling of key pathway enzymes. Subsequently, yeast metabolism was fine-tuned to balance precursor supply, and cofactor engineering strategies were implemented to increase nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) availability, thereby ensuring the catalytic efficiency of the key enzyme chalcone reductase. Results: The engineered strain Y21-2 achieved a 24.4-fold increase in isoliquiritigenin titer compared to the original strain. Additionally, the proportion of the by-product naringenin chalcone was reduced by 67.8%, marking the first instance in which the ratio of C-5 hydroxylated by-products was minimized to 10.4% during the microbial synthesis of 5-deoxyflavones. Conclusion: This work provides a valuable reference for the efficient and sustainable production of isoliquiritigenin, laying a solid foundation for further pathway optimization and the biotechnological synthesis of other high-value natural 5-deoxyflavones.

Objectives:This study aimed to investigate the impact of quantitative flow ratio(QFR)-guided revascularization on outcome of elderly patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)undergoing valve surgery.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 750 consecutive patients with angiographically confirmed CAD(≥50%stenosis)who underwent valve surgery at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University,between January 2016 and December 2021.According to the patients'ages,they were divided into the younger group(age<70 years old,n=532)and the elderly group(age≥70 years old,n=218).Revascularization strategies were evaluated using anatomical(angiography-based)and functional(QFR-based)criteria.Anatomical complete revascularization(CR)was defined as bypass grafting for all lesions with≥70%diameter stenosis in major coronary arteries or≥50%stenosis in the left main coronary artery.Functional CR referred bypass grafting for all lesions with QFR≤0.80.Incomplete revascularization(ICR)was defined as failure to meet CR criteria.According to the anatomical and functional definitions,the younger group and the elderly group were further divided into the incomplete revascularization subgroup and the complete revascularization subgroup respectively.Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE),including death,myocardial infarction,repeat revascularization,and stroke,were assessed as the composite endpoint.Results:Over a follow-up of(3.7±1.8)years,the overall MACE rate was 13.3%.The younger group exhibited significantly lower MACE rates than the elderly group(10.7%vs.19.7%,P=0.001).In the younger group,anatomical ICR did not increase MACE risk(HR=1.46,95%CI:0.81-2.62,P=0.164),whereas functional ICR significantly increased MACE risk(HR=2.27,95%CI:1.24-4.15,P=0.001).In the elderly group,neither anatomical ICR(HR=1.22,95%CI:0.62-2.41,P=0.540)nor functional ICR(HR=1.52,95%CI:0.78-2.96,P=0.172)was associated with increased MACE risk.Conclusions:In patients undergoing valve surgery with CAD,functional ICR correlated with adverse outcomes in the younger group,whereas neither anatomical nor functional ICR significantly affected prognosis in elderly patients.These findings suggest that a moderately conservative revascularization strategy may be more appropriate for elderly populations.
