Objective: To examine the mediating effect of frailty on social isolation and cognitive function among the elderly. Methods: Demographic information, smoking, alcohol consumption and cognitive function of the elderly at ages of 60 years and older were collected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2020. Social isolation and frailty were evaluated using social isolation index and frailty index, respectively. The mediating effect of frailty on social isolation and cognitive function was analyzed using the Process program, and the significance of the mediating role was tested using the Bootstrap test. Results: A total of 2 822 individuals were enrolled, including 1 483 males (52.55%) and 1 339 females (47.45%). There were 2 497 (88.48%) and 325 (11.52%) individuals at ages of 60-<75 years and ≥75 years, respectively. The median cognitive function score was 14 (interquartile range, 16) points. There were 432 cases with social isolation (15.31%), with a median social isolation index of 10 (interquartile range, 5) points. The median frailty index was 0.11 (interquartile range, 0.15). There were 1 111 individuals without frailty, accounting for 39.37%; 1 214 individuals with pre-frailty, accounting for 43.02%; and 497 individuals with frailty, accounting for 17.61%. Mediating effect analysis showed that social isolation affected cognitive function directly and negatively with the effect value of -0.773 (95%CI: -0.899 to -0.647), and also affected cognitive function by frailty indirectly and negatively with the effect value of -0.147 (95%CI: -0.188 to -0.110), with the mediating effect contributed 15.98% of the total effect. Conclusion Frailty can directly or indirectly affect cognitive function among elderly through social isolation.

Objective: To investigate the occupational health status of medical radiation workers in Hangzhou City, so as to provide the basis for their occupational health risk assessment. Methods: Data on medical radiological workers who underwent occupational health examinations from 2021 to 2022 were collected through the Physical Examination Information Management System of the Hangzhou Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital. The physical examination data including blood routine, eye lens, thyroid ultrasound, thyroid function, liver function, renal function and blood lipid were collected, and the abnormal rates of occupational health examinations among workers with different genders, working years and occupational exposure types were analyzed. Results: A total of 3 968 medical radiation workers were investigated, including 2 310 males (58.22%) and 1 658 females (41.78%). There were 2 039 (51.39%), 821 (20.69%) and 1 108 (27.92%) workers with 1-<6, 6-<10 years and 10 years and above of work, respectively. Diagnostic radiology was the predomenant type of exposure, with 2 240 workers accounting for 56.45%. The abnormal rates of thyroid ultrasound and blood lipid were 47.73% and 45.21%, respectively, which were relatively higher than other items. The abnormal rates of micronucleus rate, thyroid ultrasound, thyroid function and renal function were higher in females than in males, while the abnormal rates of lymphocyte count, liver function and blood lipid in males were higher in males than in females (all P<0.05). With the increase of working years, the abnormal rates of micronucleus rate and blood lipid showed upward trends (both P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the abnormal rates of thyroid ultrasound, liver function and blood lipid among different occupational exposure types (all P<0.05). Conclusion Long-term low-dose ionizing radiation environment affects the thyroid, micronucleus rate and blood lipid of medical radiation workers in Hangzhou City, with differences observed among workers with different genders and occupational exposure types.

Objective: To explore the relative importance of different food attributes and levels in food decision making of school aged children, and to understand their meal preferences, so as to provide the evidence for formulating precise intervention strategies for dietary behaviours of school aged children. Methods: From May to June 2024, a total of 854 children aged 11 to 15 years old were selected from 2 middle schools (each school in urban and rural areas) in both Hubei Province and Anhui Province by stratified cluster random sampling method to conduct a D-optimal discrete choice experiment. The mixed Logit model was used to analyze children s preference for meal attributes and different levels, and to calculate the relative importance (RI) of attributes and willingness to pay (WTP) in meal choices. Results: The included five food attributes had statistical significance on meal choice of school aged children ( P <0.05). The relative importance of food attributes affecting the meal choices of school aged children in descending order were dining mode ( RI =31.26%), food varieties ( RI =30.56%), cooking method( RI =23.84%), taste( RI =8.06%) and price ( RI =6.27%). Among them, school aged children preferred home cooked meals ( β =0.74) (WTP=86.3 yuan),varied foods(grain/tubers+vegetables+fish, meat, eggs and beans) ( β =0.61) (WTP=71.9 yuan), fried/roasted cooking ( β =0.51) and spicy taste ( β =0.33).Price was negatively correlated with meal choices( β =-0.01) ( P <0.05). Based on residential area and body mass index (BMI), the stratified analysis showed that dining mode was highest in the relative importance for rural children with overweight and obese children ( RI =31.28%,34.17%), both of whom preferred home cooked meals ( β =0.76, 0.91), and meals containing fish, meat, eggs and beans with grain/tubers or grain/tubers and vegetables in terms of food choice (area: β =0.53, 0.53 ; BMI: β =0.55, 0.56) ( P <0.05). Conclusions School aged children have different preferences for different attributes of meals. The quality of school meals should be improved,the cost of buying healthy meals should be reduced,targeted family health education should be carried out,and healthy cooking methods should be advocated.

Obesity is an important manifestation of the imbalance of energy regulation, and its complications can cause irreparable damage to the body. Finding the pathogenesis of obesity at the molecular level can help fundamentally avoid these irreversible complications. Extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) are proteins related to the formation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM). Because of the short discovery time, there is huge room for exploration. In terms of the role of the established structure of E- Syts at the molecular level, it has a non-negligible link with the pathogenesis of obesity. Starting with the structure of hypothalamus, this paper reviews the literature evidence of this connection, hoping to find a new research angle for reducing the incidence of obesity.

BACKGROUND:Titanium implants are widely used in clinical practice because of their high strength and good biocompatibility.However,during implantation,bacterial infection and tissue damage environment produce a large number of reactive oxygen species,which can easily lead to delayed tissue healing and surgical failure.Consequently,the development of titanium implants with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties becomes paramount. OBJECTIVE:Considering the potent antimicrobial attributes of copper ions and the remarkable antioxidant qualities of polyphenols,we proposed the fabrication of polyphenol-mediated copper ion coatings on titanium surfaces.These coatings were subsequently assessed for their in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. METHODS:Nanostructures were generated on the titanium surface using the alkali thermal method.The titanium was immersed in a solution containing tannic acid and copper ions to achieve polyphenol-mediated copper ion coatings.The surface morphology and water contact angle were detected.The loading and release of copper ions were examined using atomic absorption spectroscopy.Staphylococcus aureus was inoculated on the surface of pure titanium sheet(blank group),alkali heat treated titanium sheet(control group),and polyphenol mediated copper ion modified titanium sheet(experimental group)to observe the bacterial survival status.Osteoblast precursor cells MC3T3-E1 were co-cultivated on the surface of three groups of titanium sheets to assess their antioxidant properties and bioactivity. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy showed that the polyphenol-mediated copper ion modified titanium sheet had rod-like nanostructures and no cracks on the surface.The surface hydrophilicity of copper ion modified titanium sheet mediated by polyphenol was close to that of pure titanium sheet.Atomic absorption spectrometry results showed a 51%increase in the loading capacity of copper ions after polyphenol mediation,with a uniform release of copper ions.(2)The antibacterial rates of titanium sheets in the blank group,control group,and experimental group were 0%,21.65%,and 93.75%,respectively.The live/dead staining and CTC staining showed that the live bacteria on the surface of titanium plates in the blank group were the most,and the live bacteria on the surface of titanium plates in the experimental group were the least.(3)The results of live/dead staining and CCK-8 assay showed that the three groups of titanium sheets had good cytocompatibility,and the titanium sheets in the experimental group were more conducive to the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells.Active oxygen fluorescence probe detection exhibited that compared with the other two groups,the fluorescence intensity of active oxygen on the surface of the experimental group was significantly reduced.The results of alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red S staining showed that the osteogenic differentiation and extracellular matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells on the surface of titanium sheets in the experimental group were stronger than those in the other two groups.(4)These results show that the polyphenol-mediated copper ion coating has strong antibacterial and antioxidant properties and promotes osteogenic differentiation.

Parkinson’s disease （PD） is a common chronic neurodegenerative disease with movement disorders as the main clinical manifestation. The nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway is closely associated with the occurrence and progression of PD. TCM flavonoid monomers （luteolin， rutin， etc.）， alkaloids （camptothecin， sinomenine， and alkaloids extracted from Uncaria rhynchophylla）， terpenes （tanshinone ⅡA， carvacrol， paeoniflorin）， phenols （ellagic acid， rosmarinic acid）， saponins （ginsenoside RK1）， and traditional Chinese medicine compounds （Wuzi yanzong pill and PD formula-2） can resist oxidative stress damage， inhibit inflammatory responses and abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein， and regulate neurotrophic factors by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway， thereby alleviating dopaminergic neuronal damage.

Objective: To analyze the change trends in the body shape indicators and proportions of students in Harbin from 2010 to 2024, and to investigate ergonomic compatibility of functional dimensions of school desks and chairs with current student shape indicators, so as to provide a reference for revising furniture standards of desks and chairs. Methods: Between September and November of both 2010 and 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was conducted across three districts in Harbin, yielding samples of 6 590 and 6 252 students, respectively. Anthropometric shape indicators cluding height, sitting height, crus length, and thigh length-and their proportional changes were compared over the 15-year period. The 2024 data were compared with current standard functional dimensions of school furniture. The statistical analysis incorporated t-test and Mann-Whitney U- test. Results: From 2010 to 2024, average height increased by 1.8 cm for boys and 1.5 cm for girls; sitting height increased by 1.5 cm for both genders; crus length increased by 0.3 cm for boys and 0.4 cm for girls; and thigh length increased by 0.5 cm for both genders. The ratios of sitting height to height, and sitting height to leg length increased by less than 0.1 . The difference between desk chair height and 1/3 sitting height ranged from 0.4-0.8 cm. Among students matched with size 0 desks and chairs, 22.0% had a desk to chair height difference less than 0, indicating that the desk to chair height difference might be insufficient for taller students. The differences between seat height and fibular height ranged from -1.4 to 1.1 cm; and the differences between seat depth and buttock popliteal length ranged from -9.8 to 3.4 cm. Among obese students, the differences between seat width and 1/2 hip circumference ranged from -20.5 to -8.7 cm, while it ranged from -12.2 to -3.8 cm among non obese students. Conclusion Current furniture standards basically satisfy hygienic requirements; however, in the case of exceptionally tall and obese students, ergonomic accommodations such as adaptive seating allocation or personalized adjustments are recommended to meet hygienic requirements.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of responses to pediatric preventive dentistry-related questions between the domestic large language model, ChatGLM-6B, and the international large language model, ChatGPT-3.5, in order to provide insights for further research and development of domestic language models in the field of oral medicine. Methods: A total of 100 common pediatric preventive dentistry questions of varying difficulty levels [basic (n = 35), intermediate (n = 35), and advanced (n = 30) ] were provided by pediatric preventive dentistry experts. Two doctors independently registered these questions with ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGLM-6B and collected the answers. A cohort of 16 dentists assessed responses generated by ChatGLM-6B and ChatGPT-3.5 using a predefined 3-point Likert scale. The average score of the ratings from 16 doctors was taken as the answer score. If the answer score was higher than 2.8, it was accepted as a accurate answer; if the score was lower than 1.4, it was accepted as an inaccurate answer; if the score was between 1.4 and 2.8, it was accepted as a partially accurate answer. Comparative analysis was conducted on the accuracy rates and evaluation outcomes between the two groups. Consistency analysis of the ratings was conducted Results: The answer accuracy rates of ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGLM-6B for 100 pediatric preventive dentistry questions were comparable: ChatGPT-3.5 demonstrated 68% accurate, 30% partially accurate, and 2% inaccurate responses, while ChatGLM-6B showed 67% accurate, 31% partially accurate, and 2% inaccurate responses, with no statistically significant differences (P>0.05). Both models exhibited equivalent accuracy across questions of varying difficulty levels (basic, intermediate, advanced), showing no statistical differences (P>0.05). The overall average scores for ChatGPT3.5 and ChatGLM-6B in answering all questions were both 2.65, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). For questions of different difficulty levels, ChatGPT3.5 had an average score of 2.66 for basic questions while ChatGLM-6B had an average score of 2.70. For intermediate questions, ChatGPT3.5 had an average score of 2.63 and ChatGLM-6B had an average score of 2.64. For advanced questions, ChatGPT3.5 had an average score of 2.68, and ChatGLM-6B had an average score of 2.61. No statistically significant differences were observed across any difficulty category (P>0.05). The consistency of the experts’ grading ranged from fair to moderate. Conclusion This study demonstrates the potential of both ChatGLM-6B and ChatGPT-3.5 in answering pediatric preventive dentistry questions. ChatGLM-6B performed similarly to ChatGPT-3.5 in this field, but the accuracy rates of both models fell short of expectations and are not suitable for clinical use. Future efforts should focus on improving the accuracy and consistency of large language models in providing medical information, as well as developing specialized medical models for the field of oral medicine.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of peiminine B （PEI） on Streptococcus pneumoniae （SP）-induced alveolar epithelial cell injury by regulating the Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 in nucleus accumbens （Rac1）/protein kinase B （Akt）/nuclear factor κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway. METHODS Human alveolar epithelial cells （HPAEpiC） were taken and randomly divided into the Control group， SP group （1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution）， low-， medium-， and high-concentration PEI groups （1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution+0.05， 0.10， 0.20 mmol/L PEI）， and high-concentration PEI+Akt activator group （P-H+SC79 group， 1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution+0.20 mmol/L PEI+10 μmol/L SC79）. Except for the Control group， the other groups of cells were treated with SP bacterial solution and/or corresponding drug solution. After 24 h of treatment， the levels of inflammatory factors （interleukin-6， -18， -1β） in the supernatant solution， the contents of oxidative stress indexes [lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， reactive oxygen species （ROS） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）]， apoptosis rate， as well as the expressions of proliferation/apoptosis-related proteins [cyclin-dependent kinase 1 （CDK1）， B cell lymphoma-2 related X protein （Bax）] and pathway-related proteins （Rac1， Akt， phosphorylated Akt， NF-κB and phosphorylated NF-κB） were detected in each group. RESULTS Compared with the Control group， the levels of inflammatory factors in supernatant solution， LDH and ROS contents， apoptosis rate， the protein expressions of Bax and Rac1 and the phosphorylation levels of Akt and NF-κB in the SP group were significantly increased or up-regulated， while SOD content and the protein expression of CDK1 were significantly decreased or down-regulated （P＜0.05）. Compared with the SP group， the above indexes in PEI groups were significantly improved in a concentration-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. SC79 could significantly reverse the improvement effect of the high concentration of PEI （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS PEI can alleviate SP-induced inflammation and oxidative stress damage of alveolar epithelial cells and inhibit apoptosis， which may be achieved by inhibiting Rac1/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.

ObjectiveThis paper used the AGREE Ⅱ guideline evaluation tool to evaluate the quality of 14 clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction，aiming to provide reference for the formulation and improvement of the guidelines. MethodsClinical guidelines and expert consensus related to acute myocardial infarction were searched by web search. The search period ranges from January 1，2019 to November 1，2024 in CNKI，VIP，Wanfang Data，SinoMed，Web of Science，OVID， the International Guidelines Collaboration Network （GIN），the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence （NICE），Yimaitong， and other platforms. Three researchers independently screened the literature and used AGREE Ⅱ to score the screening results. After ensuring that the researchers have a consistent understanding of each guideline，the quality of the guidelines was evaluated. After that，the ratings were analyzed by layer according to the issuing agency，category，method of formulation，and funding situation and compared longitudinally by rating time. The clinical guidelines and expert consensus were compared in terms of content and evidence. ResultsA total of 14 guidelines and consensus were included. The results of AGREE Ⅱ in the six areas in descending order were scope and purpose （62.82%±10.43%），rigor （62.40%±12.77%），editorial independence （62.11%±22.26%），participants （61.42%±11.65%），clarity of expression （59.98%±9.62%），and application （52.94%±16.90%） . Eleven of the guidelines were at level B， and three were at level A. In the stratified analysis，the score of the guideline formulated by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association was lower. There was little difference between the scores of Chinese/Western and Western medicine guidelines. The average score of the guidelines was higher than the consensus. Funded guidelines and consensus scores were higher. In the longitudinal comparison，the highest number of guidelines were developed in 2020 and 2021，while those developed in 2023 scored the highest. In the differential comparison analysis，the content of the guidelines was more comprehensive， and the evidence level was higher，while the content of the consensus was more novel， and the evidence was less. ConclusionThe AGREE Ⅱ score of the clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction is generally moderate，and there is room for improvement in terms of applicability. At the same time，the content quality of expert consensus should be improved，and more efforts should be made to develop and apply Chinese medicine guidelines for complications such as heart failure and microcirculatory obstruction after acute myocardial infarction.
