Objective: To analyze the effects of health literacy on overweight and obesity among primary school students and their parents in terms of salt, oil and sugar reduction (referred to as the "three reductions"), so as to provide a theoretical basis for the development of obesity control measures. Methods: From March to April 2024, a total of 1 022 fourthgrade primary school students and 913 parents were surveyed in 24 classes in six counties in Shandong Province using multistage cluster random sampling, and physical measurements of primary school students were conducted. Pearsons correlation analysis and ordered multivariate Logistic regression were used to investigate the associations between health literacy of primary school students and their parents with overweight and obesity among children. Results: The detection rates of overweight and obesity primary school students in Shandong Province were 14.87% and 24.66%, respectively, with significant sex difference in obesity rate (29.46% for boys and 19.76% for girls) (χ2=12.93, P<0.01). In addition to students reducing oil scores, parental reducing salt,reducing oil,reducing sugar, comprehensive health literacy scores and students reducing salt,reducing sugar and comprehensive health literacy scores showed a negative relationship with students overweight and obesity (r=-0.10, -0.08, -0.07, -0.10, -0.04, -0.07, -0.03, P<0.05). The overweight and obesity rates among primary school students with high parental reducing salt,reducing oil,reducing sugar and composite health literacy scores were lower (OR=0.69, 0.69, 0.71, 0.63, P<0.05); and the overweight and obesity rate among students with high parental and low parental and high and low parental health literacy scores were lower (OR=0.68, 0.57, P<0.05). Conclusion Improving health literacy regarding "three reductions" for parents and children, especially parents, can effectively reduce the risk of childhood overweight and obesity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical benefit and application value of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system through bilateral axillary areolar approach in cervical lymph node dissection in obese thyroid carcinoma patients.Methods:The clinical data of 117 patients with thyroid cancer admitted to the thyroid and breast surgery Department of the 960th Hospital of the Chinese PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 55 males and 62 females, aged from 17 to 64 years, with an average age of (36.05±8.77) years. According to body mass index (BMI), patients were divided into normal group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI< 24 kg/m 2, n=60) and obese group (BMI≥28 kg/m 2, n=57). Gender, age, BMI, operation time, postoperative drainage fluid volume, tumor diameter, central lymph node dissection and number of metastasis, cervical lymph node dissection and number of metastasis, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative aesthetic satisfaction score and surgical complications of the two groups were analyzed. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results:All of patients completed the operation successfully, and neither group was transferred to open surgery. The BMI of obese group was higher than that of normal group [(31.35±3.08) kg/m 2vs (22.53±0.82) kg/m 2, t=20.97, P<0.05]. The maximum tumor diameter in the obese group was greater than that in the normal group [(13.81±10.70) mm vs (10.42±5.53) mm, t=2.17, P<0.05]. There were no significant differences in operation time, number of central lymph node dissection and metastasis, number of cervical lymph node dissection and metastasis and postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Utilization of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system via the BABA approach demonstrates both safety and feasibility in obese patients with thyroid carcinoma undergoing lateral cervical lymph node dissection. Importantly, this technique does not increase the risk of surgical complications, thus providing a novel alternative for lateral cervical lymph node dissection in obese thyroid carcinoma patients.

The ezrin,radixin,moesin(ERM)protein family plays a pivotal role in cell morphology,migration,and signal transduction.Ezrin,as a prominent member of this family,is highly involved in these processes.Ezrin phosphorylation is particularly crucial,by regulating the interaction between ezrin and the actin cytoskeleton.This interaction is a key mediator of cytotoxicity in host cells infected with Helicobacter pylori,significantly impacting cell morphology.In this review,we comprehensively summarize the multifaceted role of ezrin protein in H.pylori-induced nodular gastritis.We consider the relationships between ezrin's structure,function,signaling pathways,and phosphorylation in the context of nodular gastritis.Moreover,this review highlights the role of ezrin protein as a potential therapeutic target,offering novel insights for the prevention and treatment of nodular gastritis.

Objective To study and compare the oral microbiota and metabolites of children with Henoch Schonlein purpura(HSP)to identify specific microbiota and metabolites related to this disease and elucidate the pathogenesis of HSP.Methods Three groups of qualified subjects were included,including 20 in the HSP group,20 in the HSP nephritis(HSPN)group,and 20 in the control group.Perform high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolic profiling of saliva from each group to analyze the correlation between differential microbiota and differ-ential metabolites.Results(1)Compared with the control group,there was a significant difference in richness and diversity in the HSPN group(P＜0.05).At the same time,there was no significant difference in richness and diver-sity in the HSP group(P＞0.05).Compared with the HSP group,the abundance,and diversity of the HSPN group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).At the genus level,the proportion of Streptococcus in each group is the high-est.Compared with the control group,there was no significant correlation between the HSP group and the genus of bacteria.In contrast,the HSPN group showed a significant increase in the genera of Pseudomonas and Parabacteroi-des(P＜0.05).Compared with the HSP group,the abundance of Pseudomonas and Parabacteroides in the HSPN group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).(2)Compared with the control group,the HSPN group had 12 differen-tial metabolites involving nine metabolic pathways,such as phenylalanine metabolism;There was no significant dif-ference in metabolites and no metabolic pathway in the HSP group.Compared with the HSP group,the HSPN group has 15 differential metabolites involving nine metabolic pathways,such as phenylalanine metabolism.(3)In the HSPN and control groups,Pseudomonas and Parabacteroides negatively correlated with Phenylalanine metabolic pathway products.In the HSPN and HSP groups,Pseudomonas,Parabacteroides,and Phenylalanine metabolic path-way products were negatively correlated.The metabolites involved in phenylalanine metabolism in the oral cavity are 2-hydroxycinnamic acid,Phenylpyruvic acid,and N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine.Conclusion There is a significant dif-ference between HSPN and HSP children and healthy children.Streptococcus,Pseudomonas,and Parabacteroides may be one of the trigger factors of HSPN,and Phenylalanine metabolism may be one of the pathways in the patho-genesis of HSPN.Children with HSPN have a more pronounced imbalance in oral microbiota and greater differences in metabolic products than children with HSP.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum levels of miR-193a-3p,activated transcription factor 5(ATF5),clinicopathological characteristics and chemotherapy efficacy in patients with triple negative breast cancer(TNBC).Methods A total of 120 patients with TNBC admitted to our hospital were collected as the research group.In the same period,120 cases with benign breast disease in our hospital were selected as the control group.Serum levels of miR-193a-3p and ATF5 were detected,and the relationship between them and clinicopathological characteristics were detected in two groups.According to the therapeutic effect,TNBC patients were divided into the treatment ineffective group(n=50)and the treatment effective group(n=70).The expression levels of miR-193a-3p and ATF5 were compared between the two groups,and factors affecting the chemotherapy efficacy of TNBC patients were analyzed.Results Compared with before chemotherapy,the serum miR-193a-3p level increased and ATF5 level decreased in TNBC patients after chemotherapy(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the serum miR-193a-3p level of TNBC patients decreased in the research group before chemotherapy,and ATF5 level increased(P＜0.05).The expression level of miR-193a-3p was lower and the expression level of ATF5 was higher in patients with tumor diameter≥3 cm,lymph node metastasis,low histological grade,clinical stage Ⅲ and Ki-67＞30%(P＜0.05).In TNBC patients,compared with the treatment effective group,patients in the treatment ineffective group showed a decreased serum miR-193a-3p level and an increased ATF5 level(P＜0.05).Lower level of miR-193a-3p,higher level of ATF5,lymph node metastasis,tumor diameter≥3 cm,low histological grade,and TNM stage Ⅲ were risk factors affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy in TNBC patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Low level of miR-193a-3p and high level of ATF5 in the serum of TNBC patients are risk factors for chemotherapy efficacy.

Objective To explore the levels of interleukin-37(IL-37)and CC type modified chemokine 11(CCL11)in serum of pregnant women infected with group B streptococcus in late pregnancy and their predic-tive efficacy for maternal and infant outcomes.Methods A total of 86 pregnant women with reproductive tract B streptococcus infection in late pregnancy treated in the hospital from December 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the study group,and 76 pregnant women with normal physical examination admitted during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of IL-37 and CCL11 in serum of all pregnant women were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.According to whether the pregnant women with group B streptococcus infection in late pregnancy had adverse maternal and infant outcomes,they were divided into normal pregnancy outcome group(50 cases)and adverse pregnancy outcome group(36 cases).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum IL-37 and CCL11 on maternal and infant outcomes of pregnant women with reproductive group B streptococcus infection in late pregnancy.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting maternal and in-fant outcomes of pregnant women with reproductive group B streptococcus infection in late pregnancy.Results The levels of IL-37 and CCL11 in the study group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence rate of adverse outcomes in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The proportion of abortion history and the proportion of vaginal microecological disorders and levels of IL-37 and CCL11 and in adverse pregnancy outcome group were higher than those in normal pregnancy outcome group(P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of IL-37 and CCL11 for predicting adverse maternal and infant outcomes of pregnant women infected with group B streptococcus in late pregnancy were 0.876(95%CI:0.824-0.920)and 0.788(95%CI:0.748-0.830),re-spectively.The AUC of the combined prediction of adverse maternal and infant outcomes of pregnant women infected with group B streptococcus were 0.927(95%CI:0.889-0.970).Multivariate Logistic regression a-nalysis results showed that serum IL-37(OR=3.604,95%CI:2.106-6.166),CCL11(OR=4.250,95%CI:2.074-8.709),abortion history(OR=2.707,95%CI:1.688-4.342)and vaginal microecological disorders(OR=3.504,95%CI:1.993-6.162)were risk factors for adverse maternal and infant outcomes in pregnant women infected with group B streptococcus in late pregnancy(P<0.05).Conclusion The levels of IL-37 and CCL11 in serum of pregnant women infected with reproductive group B streptococcus in late pregnancy are in-creased,which are related to adverse pregnancy outcomes,and are expected to be effective indicator for predic-ting adverse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women infected with reproductive group B streptococcus in late pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness of the combined anteversion angle technique in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for treating ankylosing spondylitis (AS) affecting the hip joint. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 73 patients with AS affecting the hip joint who underwent THA between August 2018 and August 2021. According to whether the combined anteversion angle technique was used in THA, the patients were divided into study group (37 cases, combined anteversion angle technique was used in THA) and control group (36 cases, traditional THA). There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, body mass index, disease duration, preoperative Harris score, range of motion (ROM), acetabular anteversion angle, acetabular abduction angle, femoral anteversion angle, and combined anteversion angle between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, hospital stay, and complications of the two groups were recorded and compared. The Harris score and hip ROM were compared between the two groups before operation, at 1, 3, 6, 12 months after operation, and at last follow-up. The acetabular component anteversion angle, femoral component anteversion angle, acetabular component abduction angle, and component combined anteversion angle were measured postoperatively. RESULTS: The operation time in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no intraoperative complication such as acetabular and proximal femoral fractures, neurovascular injuries in both groups, and the incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 2-3 years, with an average of 2.4 years; there was no significant difference in the follow-up time between the two groups ( P>0.05). During the follow-up period, there was no complication such as hip dislocation, wound infection, delayed wound healing, deep venous thrombosis, and hip dislocation in both groups. The hip Harris score and ROM of the two groups gradually increased with time after operation, and the differences were significant when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05); the above two indicators of the study group were significantly better than those of the control group at each time point after operation ( P<0.05). Extensive bone ingrowth on the surface of the components could be observed in the anteroposterior X-ray films of the hip joint of the two groups at 12 months after operation, and the acetabular components was stable without femoral stem subsidence, osteolysis around the components, and heterotopic ossification. At last follow-up, the acetabular component anteversion angle, femoral component anteversion angle, and component combined anteversion angle in the study group were significantly superior to those in the control group ( P<0.05), except that there was no significant difference in the acetabular component abduction angle between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION For patients with AS affecting the hip joint, the use of the combined anteversion angle technique during THA effectively promotes the recovery of hip joint function and enhances the postoperative quality of life of patients when compared to traditional THA.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of Baihe Wuyaotang （BWT） on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） and elucidate its underlying mechanism. MethodC57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to six groups： normal control， model， positive drug （pioglitazone hydrochloride 1.95×10^-3 g·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose BWT （1.3，2.5 and 5.1 g·kg^-1）. Following a 12-week high-fat diet （HFD） inducement， the mice underwent six weeks of therapeutic intervention with twice-daily drug administration. Body weight was monitored weekly throughout the treatment period. At the fifth week， glucose tolerance （GTT） and insulin tolerance （ITT） tests were conducted. Subsequently， the mice were euthanized for the collection of liver tissue and serum， and the subcutaneous adipose tissue （iWAT） and epididymal adipose tissue （eWAT） were weighed. Serum levels of total triglycerides （TG） and liver function indicators，such as alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， were determined. Histological examinations， including oil red O staining， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， Masson staining， and transmission electron microscopy， were performed to evaluate hepatic lipid deposition， pathological morphology， and ultrastructural changes， respectively. Meanwhile， Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） were employed to analyze alterations， at both gene and protein levels， the insulin signaling pathway molecules， including insulin receptor substrate 1/2/protein kinase B/forkhead box gene O1 （IRS1/2/Akt/FoxO1）， glycogen synthesis enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxy kinase （Pepck） and glucose-6-phosphatase （G6Pase）， lipid metabolism-related genes stearoyl-coA desaturase-1 （SCD-1） and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 （CPT-1）， fibrosis-associated molecules α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， type Ⅰ collagen （CollagenⅠ）， and the fibrosis canonical signaling pathway transforming growth factor-β₁/drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic protein2/3（TGF-β₁/p-Smad/Smad2/3）， inflammatory factors such as interleukin（IL）-6， IL-8， IL-11， and IL-1β， autophagy markers LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ and p62/SQSTM1， and the expression of mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）. ResultCompared with the model group， BWT reduced the body weight and liver weight of NAFLD mice（P<0.05， P<0.01）， inhibited liver lipid accumulation， and reduced the weight of white fat： it reduced the weight of eWAT and iWAT（P<0.05， P<0.01） as well as the serum TG content（P<0.05， P<0.01）. BWT improved the liver function as reflected by the reduced ALT and AST content（P<0.05， P<0.01）. It improved liver insulin resistance by upregulating IRS2， p-Akt/Akt， p-FoxO1/FoxO1 expressions（P<0.05）. Besides， it improved glucose and lipid metabolism disorders： it reduced fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose（P<0.05， P<0.01）， improved GTT and ITT（P<0.05， P<0.01）， reduced the expression of Pepck， G6Pase， and SCD-1（P<0.01）， and increased the expression of CPT-1（P<0.01）. The expressions of α-SMA， Collagen1， and TGF-β₁ proteins were down-regulated（P<0.05， P<0.01）， while the expression of p-Smad/Smad2/3 was downregulated（P<0.05）， suggesting BWT reduced liver fibrosis. BWT inhibited inflammation-related factors as it reduced the gene expression of IL-6， IL-8， IL-11 and IL-1β（P<0.01） and it enhanced autophagy by upregulating LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ expression（P<0.05）while downregulating the expression of p62/SQSTM1 and mTOR（P<0.05）. ConclusionBWT ameliorates NAFLD by multifaceted improvements， including improving IR and glucose and lipid metabolism， anti-inflammation， anti-fibrosis， and enhancing autophagy. In particular， BWT may enhance liver autophagy by inhibiting the mTOR-mediated signaling pathway.
