Objective: To understand the prevalence and related factors of depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students in the in depth monitoring counties of China s Rural Compulsory Education Nutrition Improvement Program, so as to provide a basis for prevention and psychological intervention of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents in rural areas. Methods: In November 2022, a stratified random sampling method was adopted to collect height and weight data, basic personal and family information of 7 949 primary and secondary school students from grade three to grade nine through physical measurements and questionnaires in 56 key monitoring schools implementing the Student Nutrition Improvement Program in 7 in depth monitoring counties (Jalaid Banner in Inner Mongolia, Jinzhai County in Anhui, Mao Xian in Sichuan, Tiandeng County in Guangxi, Mian County in Shaanxi, Zhaozhou County in Heilongjiang and Youxi County in Fujian), and to obtain the information related to their depressive symptoms through the self assessment questionnaire on depression. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the prevalence of depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students, as well as their related factors. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students in the in depth monitored counties was 23.5%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of detecting depressive symptoms was higher among female students, middle school students, students whose video screen duration per day was >2 h, and students whose parents marital status was divorced or widowed ( OR =1.40, 1.64, 1.60, 1.24), and students whose sleep duration reached the recommended standard, whose parents usually accompanied them daily for time was 60-<120 min and ≥120 min, and students whose mothers literacy level was middle school graduation had lower probability of detecting depressive symptoms ( OR =0.85, 0.84, 0.71, 0.76) ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The detection rate of depressive symptoms among students in the in depth monitoring area is high, and targeted interventions need to be developed for students to reduce the risk of mental health problems.

Objective: To analyze the consumption frequency of major foods among Chinese children aged 6-17 years old, and to provide a basis for optimizing the dietary structure of children in China. Methods: Using data from the China Nutrition and Health System Survey and Application Program for Children 0-18 years old, 56 734 children aged 6-17 years old from North, Norththeast East, Central, South, Southwest and Northwest seven regions in China were selected for the study using stratified cluster random sampling from 2019 to 2021. A food frequency questionnaire was used to investigate the intake frequency of eight food groups in a month, including fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, livestock and poultry meats, aquatic products, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and cereals and potatoes. The foods were grouped according to whether they met the recommended intake criteria outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents 2022. The〖KG*2〗χ2 test was used to compare the differences in the proportion of childrens intake frequency of each food group meeting the standard in different regions and age groups. Results: The proportions of Chinese children aged 6-17 years who consumed fresh vegetables and cereals and potatoes ≥3 times/d were 12.1% and 67.2%, respectively. The proportions of children who consumed fresh fruits, livestock and poultry meats, eggs and dairy products ≥1 time/d were 50.8%, 58.8%, 36.0% and 54.3%, respectively. The proportion of legumes consumed ≥4 times/week was 37.4%, and the proportion of aquatic products consumed ≥2 times/week was 39.7%. Fresh vegetables (5.5%), fresh fruits (33.1%), and dairy products (36.4%) had the lowest frequency of meeting the recommended standards in South China, and aquatic products (27.4%) and eggs (21.1%) had the lowest frequency of meeting the recommended standards in Northwest (P<0.008 3). Conclusion The overall intake frequency of fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, legumes, and dairy products are insufficient among Chinese children, with significant regional variations.

Objective: To analyze the association of eating dining locations and their association with nutritional status among Chinese children aged 6-17 years,so as to provide reference for guiding children s reasonable diet. Methods: Stratified random cluster sampling was used to select children aged 6 to 17 years from 28 cities and rural areas of 14 provinces in East, North, Central, South, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast of China, and a total of 52 535 children were included in the study from 2019 to 2021. Information including dining locations, demographic characteristics, dietary intakes and physical activity were collected through a questionnaire survey. Fasting body height and weight were measured in the morning. Unordered multiclass Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between dining locations and nutritional status in children. Results: Regarding children s dining locations, 66.3% ate breakfast at home,25.8% ate breakfast at school,7.9% ate breakfast outside (small dining tables, restaurants, stalls, etc.); 67.7% ate dinner at home,29.0% ate dinner at school,3.3% ate dinner outside; and 63.6% ate lunch at school,30.8% ate lunch at home,5.7% ate lunch outside. The prevalence rates of overweight/obesity and undernutrition were 28.6% and 9.3%, respectively. The adjusted multiclass Logistic regression analysis (controlling for age, region, parental education, household income, total energy intake, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity) demonstrated that, compared to eating at home, school based breakfast and dinner consumption was associated with significantly lower overweight/obesity risks for both genders (boys: breakfast OR =0.70, 95% CI =0.65-0.75; dinner OR =0.80, 95% CI = 0.74- 0.86; girls: breakfast OR = 0.89 , 95% CI = 0.82-0.96; dinner OR =0.88, 95% CI =0.81-0.95), whereas eating lunch away from home significantly increased overweight/obesity risks (boys: OR =1.32, 95% CI =1.17-1.48; girls: OR =1.43, 95% CI =1.26- 1.62 ), with all associations being statistically significant ( P <0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, boys who ate breakfast away from home showed a significantly reduced risk of undernutrition ( OR =0.80,95% CI =0.66-0.97), while those consuming lunch away from home had an increased risk ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.01-1.57) ( P <0.05). Conclusions The choice of dining locations for children is becoming more diverse, and a relatively high proportion of children eat meals outside the home and at school. Eating out have a higher risk of malnutrition for children. School feeding may be beneficial to children s physical health.

Objective: To analyze the features of unhealthy lifestyle patterns among primary and secondary school students in the nutrition improvement program for rural compulsory education students (NIPRCES) areas in China in 2021 and 2023, so as to provide data support for lifestyle promotion and healthy development among primary and secondary school students. Methods: Adopting a cluster random sampling method, data on primary and secondary students aged 7-15 years from nutrition and health surveillance of China NIPRCES in 2021 and 2023 were collected. The prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles among primary and secondary students such as physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, excessive screen time, and sleep deprivation by gender, school section, urban/rural, and region were analyzed. The reporting rates of the above indicators among primary and secondary students were compared by Chi-square test. Results: In 2021 and 2023, the rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity among primary and secondary school students were 79.2% and 80.4%, the rates of outdoor inactivity were 42.8% and 49.3%, the rates of excessive video time were 2.6% and 2.9%, the rates of sleep deprivation were 32.9% and 22.6%, and the differences were statistically significant( χ 2=51.86,1 071.48,18.36,3 296.99, P <0.05). In 2023, the rate of outdoor inactivity for primary and secondary students increased by 6.5 percentage points compared with 2021, and the rate of sleep deprivation decreased by 10.3 percentage points compared with that in 2021. In 2021 and 2023, the reporting rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, and sleep deprivation among girls and junior high school students were higher than those among boys ( χ 2=174.41,180.11; 175.75, 85.46 ;92.22,151.35) and elementary school students ( χ 2=136.64,5.75; 40.55,4.71;162.80,3 291.61); the reporting rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity( χ 2=194.43,118.60) and sleep deprivation ( χ 2=969.66,983.72) among urban students were higher than those among rural students; the reporting rates of excessive video time for boys and junior high school students were higher than those for girls ( χ 2=103.62,84.85) and elementary school students ( χ 2=810.09,626.51)( P <0.05). From a regional distribution perspective, the reporting rates of moderato to vigorous physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, and excessive video time among primary and seconday school students in the central and western regions were lower than those in the eastern region ( χ 2= 663.44,302.78; 356.97,82.10;50.89,81.83) ( P <0.05). Conclusions Unhealthy lifestyles remain prevalent among primary and secondary students in NIPRCES areas of China. These findings underscore the need to strengthen policy implementation for promoting healthy lifestyles among primary and secondary school students.

Ischemic stroke (IS) ranks as a leading cause of death and disability globally. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses significant challenges for effective drug delivery to brain tissues. Recent decades have seen the development of targeted nanomedicine and biomimetic technologies, sparking substantial interest in biomimetic drug delivery systems for treating IS. These systems are devised by utilizing or replicating natural cells and their derivatives, offering promising new pathways for detection and transport across the BBB. Their multifunctionality and high biocompatibility make them effective treatment options for IS. In addition, the incorporation of engineering techniques has provided these biomimetic drug delivery systems with active targeting capabilities, enhancing the accumulation of therapeutic agents in ischemic tissues and specific cell types. This improvement boosts drug transport and therapeutic efficacy. However, it is crucial to thoroughly understand the advantages and limitations of various engineering strategies employed in constructing biomimetic delivery systems. Selecting appropriate construction methods based on the characteristics of the disease is vital to achieving optimal treatment outcomes. This review summarizes recent advancements in three types of engineered biomimetic drug delivery systems, developed from natural cells and their derivatives, for treating IS. It also discusses their effectiveness in application and potential challenges in future clinical translation.

Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. The blood‒brain barrier (BBB) is the first line of defense after ischemic stroke. Disruption of the BBB induced by brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) dysfunction is a key event that triggers secondary damage to the central nervous system, where blood-borne fluids and immune cells penetrate the brain parenchyma, causing cerebral edema and inflammatory response and further aggravating brain damage. Here, we develop a novel artificial mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) extracellular vesicles by integrating MSC membrane proteins into liposomal bilayers, which encapsulated miR-132-3p with protective effects on BMECs. The artificial extracellular vesicles (MSCo/miR-132-3p) had low immunogenicity to reduce non-specific clearance by the mononuclear phagocytosis system (MPS) and could target ischemia-injured BMECs. After internalization into the damaged BMECs, MSCo/miR-132-3p escaped the lysosomes via the H_II phase transition of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) and decreased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis levels by regulating the RASA1/RAS/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. In the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) models, MSCo/miR-132-3p targeted impaired brain regions (approximately 9 times the accumulation of plain liposomes at 12 h), reduced cerebral vascular disruption, protected BBB integrity, and decreased infarct volume (from 44.95% to 6.99%).

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic features and prognostic factors of breast cancer patients with tumor deposits in the ipsilateral axillary region.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathologic data and follow-up results of 155 patients with breast cancer diagnosed for the first time and complicated with tumor deposits in the ipsilateral axillary region in the Department of Thyroid-Breast-Vascular Surgery of Xijing Hospital from January 2008 to September 2018. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Log rank test was used for the univariate analysis of prognostic factors, and Cox regression was used for multivariate analysis.Results:The median disease free survival (DFS), median distant metastasis free survival (DMFS), and median overall survival (OS) of the 155 patients were 52.0 months, 66.6 months, and 102.2 months, respectively. The 5-year and 10-year DFS rates were 45.7% and 23.1%, the 5-year and 10-year DMFS rates were 56.9% and 28.9%, and the 5-year and 10-year OS rates were 79.3% and 46.0%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that family tumor history ( HR=0.362, 95% CI: 0.140-0.937), clinical T stage (T3: HR=3.508, 95% CI: 1.380-8.918; T4: HR=2.220, 95% CI: 1.076-4.580), estrogen/progesterone receptor status ( HR=0.476, 95% CI: 0.261-0.866), number of tumor deposits ( HR=1.965, 95% CI:1.104-3.500) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy ( HR=1.961, 95% CI: 1.032-3.725) were independent influencing factors for DFS. Molecular subtype [human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2) positive and hormone receptor negative: HR=7.862, 95% CI: 3.189-19.379], number of tumor deposits ( HR=2.155, 95% CI: 1.103-4.212), neoadjuvant chemotherapy ( HR=5.002, 95% CI: 2.300-10.880) and radiotherapy ( HR=2.316, 95% CI: 1.005-5.341) were independent influencing factors of DMFS. Histological grade ( HR=4.362, 95% CI: 1.932-9.849), estrogen/progesterone receptor expression ( HR=0.399, 95% CI: 0.168-0.945), HER-2 expression ( HR=2.535, 95% CI: 1.114-5.768) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy ( HR=4.080, 95% CI: 1.679-9.913) were independent influencing factors of OS. Conclusions:The presence of tumor deposits weakens the influence of axillary lymph node status and distant metastases on the prognosis of breast cancer patients. Therefore, a clinicopathological staging system taking into account tumor deposits should be developed. Since the number of tumor deposits affects the risk of recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer patients, we recommend that the number of tumor deposits should be reported in detail in the pathological report after breast cancer surgery.

Objective:This study evaluates the agreement between a new low-load sleep monitoring system, QSA600, based on millimeter-wave radar technology, and polysomnography (PSG) in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).Methods:A total of 155 subjects were recruited for a parallel agreement study in the sleep laboratory of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital from July to September 2023. The subjects underwent simultaneous monitoring with both PSG and the QSA600 system. One hundred and forty-five subjects consisting of 75 males and 70 females included in the final analysis, with an average age of (35.30±12.41) years, an average height of (168.23±8.08) cm, and an average weight of (68.28±13.74) kg. The subjects were divided into four groups based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): <5.0 events/h (non-OSA group, 39 cases), ≥5.0-<15.0 events/h (mild OSA group, 47 cases), ≥15.0-<30.0 events/h (moderate OSA group, 25 cases), and≥30.0 events/h (severe OSA group, 34 cases). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), Pearson correlation coefficients ( r), and Bland-Altman analysis were employed to assess the agreement between the two monitoring techniques regarding AHI and other parameters. Sensitivity and specificity of the QSA600 in diagnosing OSA were evaluated at different AHI thresholds. Statistical analyses were conducted using MATLAB R2022a. Results:Using AHI 5 events/h, 15 events/h and 30 events/h as thresholds, the sensitivity for diagnosing mild, moderate, and severe OSA was 88.68%, 89.83% and 97.06%, respectively. The specificity was 94.87%, 98.84% and 99.10%, respectively. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.973 4, 0.990 9 and 0.999 5, respectively. The comparison of key indicators between QSA600 and PSG diagnostic results revealed:a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.987 2( P<0.001) between the AHI measurement values. The mean difference between the Bland-Altman measurement values of the two was -1.43(95% CI:-8.74-5.88) events/h and the ICC between the two was 0.985 0(95% CI: 0.975 4-0.990 4). Conclusions:As a new low-load sleep monitoring system, QSA600 demonstrates high concordance with traditional PSG in diagnosing OSA and stratifying its severity, which has promising potential for clinical application.
