ObjectiveTreadmill exercise intervention was evaluated for its effects on addictive behavior, learning and memory, and hippocampal neuroinflammation in methamphetamine (MA)-addicted mice, and transcriptomic screening was performed to identify candidate molecules involved in exercise-mediated attenuation of MA-related neuronal injury. MethodsTwo-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to four groups: control (C), exercise control (CE), methamphetamine (M), and methamphetamine plus exercise (ME). Mice in the M and ME groups received intraperitoneal injections of MA (1 mg/kg) once daily for 7 consecutive days to establish the addiction model, whereas mice in the C and CE groups received equal volumes of saline. Subsequently, mice in the CE and ME groups underwent treadmill exercise at 12 m/min for 60 min/d for 2 weeks. Conditioned place preference (CPP), the Y-maze, and the Morris water maze (MWM) were used to assess addictive behavior, spatial recognition memory, and spatial learning and memory, respectively. Hippocampal neuronal ultrastructure was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and microglia-related responses were evaluated by immunofluorescence staining for ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) in the hippocampal CA1 region. Previously generated and publicly available RNA-seq data from brain tissue of the C, M, and ME groups were reanalyzed, with three biological samples per group. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were re-screened using the criteria of P<0.05 and fold change>1.5 or <0.67, followed by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. NLR family CARD domain containing 5 (Nlrc5) was further validated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of NLRC5, nuclear factor kappa B (NF‑κB), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95), and synaptophysin. ResultsTreadmill exercise significantly attenuated MA-induced conditioned place preference and improved learning and memory performance in both the Y-maze and MWM tests. Exercise increased exploration time and distance in the novel arm of the Y-maze, shortened escape latency, and increased the number of platform crossings in the MWM. Average swimming speed during the probe trial did not differ significantly among groups, suggesting that the MWM differences were not attributable to obvious differences in swimming performance. TEM revealed that MA exposure induced mitochondrial swelling, disrupted cristae, reduced organelle abundance, and nuclear envelope abnormalities in hippocampal neurons, whereas these ultrastructural changes were alleviated after exercise. Immunofluorescence staining showed that MA increased Iba-1 fluorescence intensity in the hippocampal CA1 region, while treadmill exercise significantly reduced this change. Transcriptomic analysis identified 160 DEGs associated with MA exposure and 58 DEGs associated with exercise intervention, with 9 overlapping DEGs. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that MA-related DEGs were enriched in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. Among the overlapping DEGs, Nlrc5, which was downregulated after MA exposure and restored following exercise intervention, was selected as a candidate gene for further validation. RT-qPCR confirmed that treadmill exercise reversed the MA-induced decrease in Nlrc5 mRNA expression. Western blot analysis further showed that treadmill exercise increased NLRC5, PSD-95, and synaptophysin protein expression while reducing NF-κB and IL-1β expression. ConclusionTwo weeks of treadmill exercise attenuated MA-induced conditioned place preference and ameliorated learning and memory impairment, alleviated hippocampal neuroinflammation and neuronal ultrastructural damage, and restored the expression of synapse-related proteins. Transcriptomic screening combined with molecular validation demonstrated that exercise intervention was accompanied by restoration of NLRC5 expression, reduced NF‑κB and IL-1β expression, and increased PSD-95 and synaptophysin expression. These findings suggest that NLRC5 may represent a candidate molecule involved in exercise-mediated amelioration of MA-related neuronal injury. However, the present results mainly demonstrate coordinated changes in NLRC5 expression, inflammatory indicators, and cognitive outcomes rather than a direct causal relationship, and the specific role of NLRC5 requires further functional validation.

Objective: To evaluate the comprehensive intervention effect of lunch for primary and secondary school students in Minhang District, so as to provide a theoretical and practical basis for lunch intervention in school. Methods: From October to December 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 1 937 students from one primary and secondary school in Minhang District.A comprehensive intervention measure focusing on "reducing oil and salt" for lunch recipe optimization and nutrition education was carried out, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the intervention effect three months later. Chi square test and Wilcoxon rank test were used to compare the data before and after the intervention. Results: After intervention, the use of cooking oil and salt, the supply of protein and fat in primary and secondary school lunches were reduced, and had no obvious impact on energy and other major nutrients. After intervention, compared to before intervention, the proportion of primary school students who felt that lunch was greasy decreased (8.9%, 6.2%, χ 2=4.35), and the proportion of primary and secondary school students who felt that lunch were delicious decreased significantly (33.2%, 23.2%; 63.9%, 53.5%, χ 2=26.39, 17.52) ( P < 0.05 ). Secondary school students also felt reduced variety of food ingredients (46.9%, 38.3%, χ 2=16.05, P <0.05). In addition, after intervention, the total surplus rate of primary school students meals decreased (7.4%, 4.4%, χ 2=5.73), mainly reflected in the decrease of the surplus rate of staple foods (7.1%, 2.4%, χ 2=17.39), while the surplus rate of vegetable dishes increased ( 16.0 %, 21.2%, χ 2=6.01) ( P <0.05). Although there was no significant change in the total surplus rate of meals for secondary school students, the surplus rate of staple foods decreased (12.9%, 5.4%, χ 2=33.52), while the surplus rates of meat and vegetable dishes increased (11.2%, 26.9%; 17.5%, 33.2%, χ 2=74.26, 61.88) ( P <0.05). After intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the overweight and obesity rates of primary school students ( χ 2=0.11,0.43) and secondary school students ( χ 2=0.01,0.00) compared to before intervention( P >0.05). After intervention, the lung capacity of primary school students [1 564 (1 269,1 890) mL] and sitting forward flexion [11.3 (7.6, 15.2) cm] increased compared to before intervention [1 522 (1 259, 1 819 ) mL, 10.5 (6.3, 13.5) cm] ( Z =2.20, 4.68, P <0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference in lung capacity and sitting forward flexion of secondary school students before and after intervention ( Z =-0.46, -0.08, P >0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive intervention of school lunch has promoted a significant decrease in the use of oil and salt in lunch and improved the quality of recipes, and has a positive impact on the situation of leftover lunch and the health of students to a certain extent.

OBJECTIVE To standardize the strategies for prevention and control of Chikungunya(CHIK)in healthcare in-stitutions so as to reduce the risk of transmission in the institutions.METHODS A working group comprising the ex-perts in hospital infection control,infectious diseases,and microbiology systematically reviewed domestic and international evidence and current guidelines,integrated China's vector ecology and healthcare realities,conducted two rounds of Delphi to achieve expert consensus,and graded the evidence and recommendation strength using the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine system.RESULTS The consensus issues 18 actionable recommendations on triage,patient mosquito-proof isolation,integrated vector control,protection of susceptible populations,environmental cleaning and disinfection,specimen management,medical textile handling,and outbreak emergency response,with each statement assigned an evi-dence level and recommendation strength.CONCLUSION This consensus is for the first time in China to provide evidence-graded strategies for control of CHIK in healthcare institutions,offering work flow-oriented,implementable guidance for clinicians,laboratorians,and infection-control personnel under different risk scenarios and enhancing the comprehensive coping capacity of the healthcare institutions.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 465 newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (NDMM) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2016 to December 2024, and compare the prognostic value of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs) in NDMM patients under mSMART 3.0 and mSMART 4.0 risk stratification systems. The results showed that in both stratification systems, the prognosis of high-risk patients was worse than that of standard-risk patients. Moreover, a higher number of HRCAs was associated with a worse prognosis. The mSMART 4.0 system, which considers the coexistence of various cytogenetic abnormalities, provides a more precise definition of HRCA than mSMART 3.0. It demonstrates a superior ability to differentiate between different categories of cytogenetic risk.

Objective:To explore the incidence, clinical features, genetic variant characteristics and prognosis of Glutaric acidemia type I (GA1) among neonates from Henan Province.Methods:A total of 814 625 neonates undergoing screening for inherited metabolic diseases by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects. A retrospective method was adopted to collect the clinical data of the patients. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect GCDH gene variants in individuals with positive results by GA1 newborn screening, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the candidate variants. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the pathogenicity of candidate variants was rated. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Approval Number: 2019 Medical Ethics Review No. 67). Results:Eight cases of GA1 were diagnosed among the 814 625 neonates. Blood glutaryl carnitine (C5DC) and urine glutaric acid (GA) levels of the 8 children were higher than the normal reference values. In total 12 variants were detected, all of which were missense variants. c. 1064G>A (p.Arg355His) was the most common one, accounting for 21.4% (3/14). Three GCDH gene variants, including 1297G>C (p.Ala433Pro), c. 467G>A (p.Gly156Asp) and c. 1125T>G (p.Cys375Trp), were previously unreported. REVEL software analysis predicted that all of the three variants were harmful. 3D protein structure modeling indicated that the three variants may cause amino acid residue alterations, and c. 1297G>C (p.Ala433Pro) and c. 1125T>G (p.Cys375Trp) may result in increase in hydrogen bonds and may affect the function of GCDH protein. By December 2023, one of the eight children had deceased, and another child had severe clinical symptoms with poor prognosis. Six children had a good prognosis, of which two had mild motor development delay and four had normal development without clinical symptoms. Conclusion:The incidence of GA1 in newborns screened by MS/MS in Henan Province is 1/101 828, and the carrier rate of pathogenic GCDH variants is 1/160. The c. 1064G>A (p.Arg355His) may be the hotspot variant of the GCDH gene among children with GA1 in Henan. Discovery of the three novel variants has enriched the mutational spectrum of the GCDH gene and provide a basis for the early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and genetic counseling of this disease.

Objective:To investigate the features of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in children with sepsis and evaluate the value of these cells in combination with multiple indicators in the diagnosis of pediatric sepsis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 86 sepsis children and 83 children with local infection admitted to Hebei Children′s Hospital from October 2022 to October 2024. Baseline clinical data, peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets, and other laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate logistic regression were used to evaluate the independent risk factors correlated with the initiation of sepsis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the value of each independent risk factor for diagnosing sepsis.Results:The thrombin time, the absolute counts of NK, CD3 + T, CD4 + T, and CD8 + T cells, the levels of IgG and IgM, and the counts of lymphocytes and platelets were lower in the sepsis children than in the children with local infection. However, the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time, the levels of fibrinogen, direct bilirubin, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were higher in the sepsis group (all P<0.05). The variables screened by LASSO regression were analyzed by the multivariate logistic regression, and the results showed that PT, absolute CD4 + T cell count, and the levels of IgM and CRP were independent risk factors for sepsis. The ROC analysis indicated that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for PT, absolute CD4 + T cell count, and IgM and CRP levels when used individually in diagnosing sepsis was 0.729, 0.593, 0.605, and 0.795, respectively. The AUC for the four indexes when used in combination for diagnosing sepsis reached 0.822, showing greater superiority over that of the single index. Conclusions:The combined measurement of PT, absolute CD4 + T cell count, and the levels of IgM and CRP can improve the diagnostic efficacy for sepsis in children. Early monitoring of these indexes facilitates the assessment of the condition in children suffering from sepsis.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the plasma level of interleukin(IL)-37 and assess its regulatory effects on monocyte activity in type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM) patients.Methods:This prospective study included 57 T1DM patients and 21 healthy controls who were continuously enrolled from December 2022 to January 2024 at Xinxiang Central Hospital. Plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated. IL-37 and soluble interleukin 1 receptor 8(IL-1R8) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Levels of IL-37 receptor subunits in monocytes were analyzed via flow cytometry. Purified monocytes were stimulated with recombinant IL-37 and co-cultured with a human pancreatic β-cell line to assess cytotoxicity, measured by target cell death and cytokine levels. Additionally, monocytes were co-cultured with autologous CD4 + T cells to evaluate antigen presentation by measuring interferon-γ(IFN-γ) and IL-17A secretion. Results:Plasma IL-37 level and IL-37 receptor subunit expression in monocytes were significantly lower in T1DM patients compared to controls(both P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in soluble IL-1R8 levels between the groups( P=0.457). Monocytes from T1DM patients exhibited increased cytotoxicity, as indicated by higher target cell death and elevated levels of granzyme A, granzyme B, granzyme H, IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α( P<0.05). Additionally, monocyte-induced secretion of IFN-γ and IL-17A by CD4 + T cells was elevated in T1DM patients(all P<0.05). Stimulation of T1DM monocytes with recombinant IL-37 reduced target cell death and decreased granzyme B secretion compared to unstimulated monocytes(both P<0.05). However, IL-37 stimulation had no significant effect on other cytokine levels or monocyte-induced IFN-γ and IL-17A secretion( P>0.05). Conclusions:Monocytes exhibit enhanced cytotoxicity and antigen-presenting capacity in T1DM patients. IL-37 reduces monocyte cytotoxicity by inhibiting granzyme B secretion, but does not affect antigen presenting function in T1DM.

Objective To analyze the factors affecting the prevalence of hyperuricemia(HUA)in an island troop.Methods A total of 1 113 soldiers stationed on an island from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as research objects by cluster sampling.Their lifestyle and health information were collected.Physical examination and laboratory detection were conducted.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of HUA.Results The prevalence rate of HUA was 21.02%(234/1 113).There were significant differences in the body mass index(BMI),waist-to-hip ratio,triglyceride,alanine aminotransferase,and creatinine between the soldiers with hyperuricemia and the soldiers with normal blood uric acid(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI≥24(OR=1.49,95%CI:1.09-2.05),abnormal liver function(OR=2.26,95%CI:1.31-3.92),and dyslipidemia(OR=1.46,95%CI:1.01-2.12)were positively correlated with hyperuricemia;age>30 years old(OR=0.59,95%CI:0.37-0.93)and exercise time>1 h per week(OR=0.46,95%CI:0.22-0.97)were negatively correlated with HUA.Conclusion The prevalence rate of hyperuricemia is at a high level in an island troop.BMI≥24,age≤30 years old,exercise time≤1 h per week,abnormal liver function,and dyslipidemia are the risk factors for HUA.Prevention and control measures should be taken as early as possible for the soldiers with these risk factors.
