Objective: To quantitatively assess the health risk of preservatives from beverages around primary schools in Anshun City, and to provide scientific basis for precise food safety supervision. Methods: From December 2023 to July 2024, 602 beverage samples were randomly collected from within 100 meters of 19 primary schools in Anshun City. The content of benzoic acid, sorbic acid, and dehydroacetic acid was detected according to GB 5009 series standards. Combined with children s physiological parameters (body weight 30 kg, daily intake 0.15 L), the Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Hazard Index (HI) models were used to evaluate health risks. Results: The total detection rate of preservatives from beverages around primary schools was 63.0%, and the total over limit rate was 9.0%. The detection rate of preservatives in flavored beverages was the highest (72.6%), and the highest over limit rate of preservatives in special purpose beverages was the highest (17.2%). The single preservative HQ (benzoic acid up to 0.47 ) and mixed HI (up to 0.55) of all samples were below 1(safety threshold). However, the HQ value of benzoic acid in flavored beverages (0.47) was 2.9 times that of sorbic acid (0.16), contributing significantly to health risk. Sensitivity analysis showed that if the daily consumption increased to 0.3 L, the HI value of flavored beverages would rise to 1.11, exceeding the safety threshold. Enterprise scale analysis showed that the exceedance rate of special purpose beverages in large enterprises reached 30.0%, while micro enterprises, accounting for a dominant market share (52.2%), constituted the main source of children s daily exposure to their products. Conclusions The overall health risk of perservatives in beverages sold near primary schools in Anshun City is controllable, but there is a noticeable risk of gradient. The risk of children’s exposure to preservatives through beverage consumption should not be ignored.

AIM To evaluate the chemical constituent consistency in formula granules and traditional decoctions of Gouteng Jiangya Formula.METHODS HPLC characteristic chromatograms were established,the analysis was performed on a 30 ℃ thermostatic YMC-Triart C18 column(4.6 mm× 250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile-0.2％phosphoric acid flowing at 1.0 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelength was set at 240 nm.Puerarin was used as an internal standard to calculate the relative correction factors of 3'-methoxy puerarin,puerarin apioside,magnolflorine,paeoniflora,daidzin,baicalin,palmatine,berberine,wogonoside and benzoylpaeoniflorin,after which the content detemination was made by quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker(QAMS).RESULTS The characteristic chromatograms of 9 batches of formula granules and 15 bacthes of traditional decoctions demonstrated the similarities of more than 0.90 at the detection wavelengths of 192,210,240,260,280,300,320,360 nm,along with similar total peak areas.Eleven constituents showed good linear relationships within their own ranges(r＞0.999 0),whose average recoveries were 97.27％-101.64％with the RSDs of 0.36％-1.11％,the result obtained by QAMS and external standard method demonstrated no significant differences(P＞0.05).The contents of various constituents in the formula granules approximated those in the traditional decoctions.CONCLUSION The consistent kinds and contents of various constituents are obversable in formula granules and traditional decoctions of Gouteng Jiangya Formula,which can provide a reference for the reasonable clinical application of this formula.

Objective To analyze white matter hyperintensities(WMH)and 11C-CFT PET/CT characteristics in patients with PD,and explore their relationship.Methods A total of 84 PD pa-tients admitted to our department between March 2021 and March 2025 were retrospectively en-rolled,and they were divided into young group(33 cases)and elderly group(aged＞65 years,51 cases)and also into non-WMH group(22 cases)and WMH group(62 cases)based on the severity of WMH.The degree of white matter lesions was scored,including periventricular white matter hyperintense(PVH)score and deep white matter hyperintense(DWMH)score.All patients un-derwent head MRI and 11C-CFT-PET/CT scanning.The T/N value and asymmetry index were calculated.Results The elderly PD patients exhibited significantly advanced age and higher H-Y stages,but lower T/N values of affected side of caudate nucleus,contralateral caudate nucleus,affected side of anterior putamen,contralateral anterior putamen and contralateral posterior puta-men,and posterior putamen asymmetry index than the young patients(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Simi-lar results were observed in the WMH group when compared with the non-WMH group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The PVH score was negatively correlated with the T/N values of affected side of caudate nucleus(r=-0.282,P=0.009),contralateral caudate nucleus(r=-0.215,P=0.049),affected side of anterior putamen(r=-0.249,P=0.022),contralateral anterior putamen(r=-0.280,P=0.010)and contralateral posterior putamen(r=-0.285,P=0.009),and DWMH score was also negatively correlated with the T/N values in the affected side of caudate nucleus and affected side of anterior putamen(P＜0.05).Conclusion Both age and disease severity impact WMH and dopaminergic system in PD patients.A higher WMH load is associated with dopamin-ergic neuronal damage.

Objective:The association between air pollutants and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between five air pollutants—PM 2.5, PM 2.5–10, PM 10, NO 2, and NO?—and the risk of SCD. Methods:We analyzed data from 460 862 participants in the UK Biobank cohort, all enrolled between 2006 and 2010, with no baseline SCD. Follow-up continued until the study endpoint. Annual average concentrations of the five pollutants were assessed. Associations between pollutants and SCD were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models, followed by Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess causality.Results:Over a mean follow-up of 12.4 years, 2 662 SCD cases were recorded. After adjusting for confounders, no significant associations were found between air pollutants and SCD risk: PM 2.5 ( HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.99–1.07, P = 0.14), PM 2.5–10 ( HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.00–1.08, P = 0.08), PM 10 ( HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.99–1.03, P = 0.26), NO? ( HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.99–1.00, P = 0.26), and NO x ( HR 1.00, 95% CI 1.00–1.01, P = 0.19). MR analysis further supported the absence of causal relationships: PM 2.5 ( β = -0.149, P = 0.90), PM 2.5–10 ( β = 0.387, P = 0.62), PM 10 ( β = -0.994, P = 0.62), NO? ( β = –0.005, P = 0.99), and NO 2 ( β = –0.827, P = 0.25). Conclusions:This study found no evidence linking PM 2.5, PM 2.5–10, PM 10, NO?, or NO 2 to an increased risk of SCD. Mendelian randomization confirmed the lack of causal associations between these pollutants and SCD.

Natural human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies refer to preformed antibodies present in the body that are not induced by prior exposure to allogeneic HLA antigens. In healthy individuals without a sensitization history, the detection rate of natural HLA antibodies is approximately 20%-29% when using screening assays with low sensitivity, and can reach up to 63% when more sensitive HLA-specific detection methods are employed. It is therefore inferred that natural HLA antibodies may also be present in transplant candidates with a similar prevalence. This review comprehensively discusses the potential mechanisms of natural HLA antibody generation, the characteristics of the recognized epitopes, detection techniques, clinical relevance in transplantation, their potential to confound therapeutic decisions, and approaches to distinguish and mitigate their impact. The goal is to raise clinician awareness of the objective existence of natural HLA antibodies, provide guidance on evaluating their association with allograft rejection, and inform appropriate clinical management strategies when encountering natural HLA antibody-positive transplant candidates.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of sulodexide soft capsules in treating proteinuria after renal transplantation, as well as its impact on graft function.Methods:The clinical data from 80 recipients who developed proteinuria after renal transplantation and were treated with sulodexide soft capsules during regular follow-up at the outpatient department of Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March 1, 2019, to March 1, 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Proteinuria levels, graft function, safety-related indicators (coagulation function), and adverse events were compared before treatment and at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. Based on efficacy, recipients were divided into a satisfactory efficacy group (67 cases) and a general efficacy group (13 cases). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to stratify baseline data and explore factors influencing efficacy.Results:Among the 80 recipients, 63 (78.75%) had mild proteinuria and 17 (21.25%) had moderate proteinuria. The overall treatment response rate was 91.25% (73/80). Drug-related adverse events occurred in 12 patients (15.0%). Median urinary protein excretion at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment was 0.35 (0.20, 0.55) g/24 h, 0.30 (0.17, 0.44) g/24 h, 0.23 (0.15, 0.39) g/24 h, 0.21 (0.13, 0.32) g/24 h, and 0.15 (0.10, 0.23) g/24 h, respectively, all significantly lower than the pre-treatment level of 0.52 (0.43, 0.90) g/24 h (all P<0.001). The median urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratios at the corresponding time points were 99.15 (45.33, 201.13) μg/mg, 77.20 (43.30, 176.20) μg/mg, 57.50 (31.35, 173.75) μg/mg, 53.55 (25.90, 142.00) μg/mg, and 39.05 (20.53, 103.60) μg/mg, also significantly reduced compared to the pre-treatment value of 152.05 (71.90, 271.23) μg/mg ( P=0.012, P=0.003, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, respectively). At 12 months post-treatment, the serum creatinine level (132.86±36.86 μmol/L) showed a statistically significant improvement compared to the pre-treatment level (146.60±48.42 μmol/L) ( P=0.045). Univariate analysis indicated that satisfactory efficacy was associated with the time of proteinuria onset post-transplantation, the interval between proteinuria onset and treatment initiation, and recipient age ( HR= 1.001, 95% CI: 1.001-1.020, P=0.043; HR = 1.034, 95% CI: 1.009-1.058, P=0.006; HR=1.058, 95% CI: 1.003-1.116, P=0.040). Stratified univariate analysis revealed that proteinuria onset within 2 years post-transplantation, treatment initiation within 2 years of proteinuria onset, and age younger than 45 years were significantly associated with satisfactory efficacy ( HR=5.524, 95% CI: 1.510-20.207, P=0.010; HR= 7.800, 95% CI: 2.104-28.920, P=0.002; HR=5.972, 95% CI: 1.497-23.822, P=0.011). Multivariate analysis identified the interval between proteinuria onset and treatment initiation as an independent factor influencing satisfactory efficacy ( HR=1.025, 95% CI: 1.010-1.093, P=0.015). Conclusions:Sulodexide effectively reduces proteinuria after renal transplantation, particularly in mild-to-moderate or early-onset cases, while maintaining stable allograft function without significant adverse effects

Objective To develop a nomogram diagnostic model to differentiate peripheral small cell lung cancer(PSCLC)from peripheral lung adenocarcinoma(PADC)using clinical and multi spiral computed tomography features.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the CT characteristics and clinical presentations of 50 PSCLC and 100 PADC.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify significant features.A nomogram was constructed to quantify the influencing factors.The efficacy and clinical applicability of the model were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Smoking,neuron-specific enolase(NSE),smooth margin,spindle/branching shape,and lymphadenopathy were independent risk factors for PSCLC(P＜0.05),whereas rough margin and lobulation sign were independent risk factors for PADC(P＜0.05).The nomogram model demonstrated high diagnostic efficacy,and the calibration curve exhibited a good degree of calibration(Brier=0.079).The DCA indicated that the nomogram model possesses substantial clinical utility.Conclusion The nomogram model developed based on six indicators,including smoking,NSE≥17 ng/mL,margin characteristics,spindle/branching shape,lobulation sign,and lymphadenopathy can well distinguish PSCLC from PADC.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of non-specific invasive breast cancer (BIC-NST) patients with and without ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 9 490 female BIC-NST patients who underwent surgery in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College and the Yuncheng Central Hospital in Shanxi Province from January 2009 to December 2017 were collected. Among them, 4 248 cases (44.8%) had DCIS and 5 242 cases (55.2%) did not have DCIS. The clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of BIC-NST patients with and without DCIS were compared. Cox proportional hazards model was used to make univariate and multivariate analysis on the influencing factors of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in BIC-NST patients.Results:Compared with patients without DCIS, patients with DCIS were younger [(51±11) years vs. (53±11) years, t = -8.75, P < 0.001], had a lower proportion of breast conserving surgery [19.2% (815/4 248) vs. 21.2% (1 113/5 242), χ2 = 6.07, P = 0.010], a higher proportion of pathological T 1 stage [60.2% (2 558/4 248) vs. 57.5% (3 016/5 242), χ2 = 6.96, P = 0.008], a lower histological grade, a lower Ki-67 positivity index [(28±19)% vs. (31±22)%, χ2 = -5.84, P < 0.001], a higher proportion of lymphatic vessel invasion [18.3% (777/4 248) vs. 15.9% (831/ 5 242), χ2 = 9.91, P = 0.002], higher positivity rates of hormone receptor (HR) [78.9% (3 278/4 248) vs. 76.2% (3 907/5 242), χ2 = 9.02, P = 0.003] and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) [31.3% (1 236/4 248) vs. 21.2% (1 029/5 242), χ2 = 117.64, P < 0.001], a lower proportion of patients with HR - HER2 - [9.0% (353/ 4 248) vs. 16.5% (800/5 242), χ2 = 138.68, P < 0.001] and HR + HER2 - [59.8% (2 354/4 248) vs. 62.4% (3 026/5 242), χ2 = 8.50, P = 0.004]. Survival analysis showed that there were no statistically significant differences in OS and DFS between patients with and without DCIS ( χ2 = 1.05, P = 0.310; χ2 = 0.42, P = 0.520). Univariate analysis showed that DCIS had no effect on the OS ( HR = 0.926, 95% CI: 0.799-1.073, P = 0.306) and DFS ( HR = 1.040, 95% CI: 0.924-1.170, P = 0.518) of BIC-NST patients. Conclusions:The clinicopathological characteristics of BIC-NST patients with and without DCIS are different, while the presence of DCIS does not affect the prognosis of BIC-NST patients.

Objective To explore the efficacy of arthroscopic reduction combined with percutaneous screw fixation in the treatment of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures.Methods Forty-eight patients with Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲcalcaneal fractures were divided into the arthroscopic reduction combined with percutaneous screw fixation(arthroscopy)group(n=23)and the tarsal sinus approach open reduction combined with screw internal fixation(tarsal sinus approach)group(n=25)according to different surgical methods and plans.The operative time,incision length,postoperative complications and secondary removal of internal fixation were compared between the two groups.Changes in B?hler's angle and Gissane's angle were evaluated and compared between the two groups at 3 months,6 months after operation and at the last follow-up.Additionally,the American Orthopaedic Foot&Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle-hindfoot score and the visual analog scale(VAS)for pain were used to assess outcomes at the last follow-up.Results Compared with the tarsal sinus approach group,the incision length was reduced,the operation time was prolonged and the incidence of complications was decreased in the arthroscopic group(P＜0.05).At 3 months,6 months after the operation and the last follow-up,there were no significant differences in the B?hler Angle,Gissanes Angle,AOFAS and VAS scores between the arthroscopic group and the tarsal sinus approach group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Both groups of regimens can enable patients to achieve good postoperative therapeutic efficacy.However,under arthroscopic assistance,surgical incisions inherently possess minimally invasive advantages,while the incidence of postoperative complications is lower compared to the sinus tarsi approach.

Objective:To explore the causal configurations influencing the career growth of public hospital managers and provide references for promoting their professional development.Methods:From July to December 2023, managers from 9 public hospitals in 3 prefecture-level cities or autonomous prefectures of a central China province were surveyed through a combination of stratified sampling and purposive sampling. The questionnaire included three validated scales: the career growth scale, organizational career management scale, and person-organization fit scale. Using career growth as the outcome variable, and hospital level, organizational career management, person-organization fit, educational background, and employment type as antecedent conditions, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis was applied to identify high-growth configuration pathways.Results:A total of 276 valid questionnaires were collected. Scores for career growth, organizational career management, and person-organization fit were (3.29±0.79), (3.54±0.85), and (3.51±0.85), respectively. The consistency of necessary condition tests for all factors was below 0.9, indicating none were indispensable prerequisites, supporting a configurational analysis of sufficient conditions. Five distinct pathways for career growth of public hospital managers were identified: resource-oriented growth (consistency=0.88), person-organization fit-driven growth (consistency=0.89), organization-dependent growth (consistency=0.91), expertise-driven growth (consistency=0.88), and stable adaptation growth (consistency=0.87). Organizational career management and person-organization fit emerge as core conditions.Conclusions:The study reveals five heterogeneous pathways for managers′ career growth, emphasizing multidimensional complexity. Hospitals should design personalized development plans aligned with pathway characteristics, particularly by strengthening organizational career management and enhancing person-organization fit, to foster managers′ holistic growth and organizational advancement.
