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 examine the mediating effect of resilience on AIDS-related stress and patient-reported outcome among elderly cases with HIV/AIDS, so as to provide the basis for promoting mental health and improving health outcomes of this population.
Methods:
From June to July 2024, elderly cases with HIV/AIDS receiving treatment in the infectious diseases department of a tertiary-level hospital in Sichuan Province and undergoing follow-up management at 12 community health service centers in Wuhou District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, were selected as study participants using convenience sampling method. Data on demographic information, duration since confirmed diagnosis and the most recent CD4+T lymphocyte count were collected through questionnaire surveys. The Chinese versions of the HIV/AIDS Stress Scale, the Chinese versions of the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Patient-Reported Outcome Scale for Elderly HIV/AIDS Patients were used to assess AIDS-related stress, resilience, and patient-reported outcome, respectively. Structural equation modeling was performed using Mplus 8.3 software to analyze the mediating effect of resilience on AIDS-related stress and patient-reported outcome. The Bootstrap method was employed to test the significance of the mediating effect.
Results:
A total of 424 elderly HIV/AIDS cases were included, with a mean age of (62.04±8.73) years. Among them, 315 (74.29%) were males and 109 (25.71%) were females. The median scores were 23.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) points for AIDS-related stress, 30.00 (interquartile range, 7.00) points for resilience, and 363.45 (interquartile range, 53.03) points for the total score of patient-reported outcome. Resultsof the mediation effect analysis revealed that AIDS-related stress had a direct negative effect on patient-reported outcome (β=-0.608, 95%CI: -0.742 to -0.465). It also exerted an indirect negative effect on patient-reported outcome through the mediating role of resilience (β=-0.258, 95%CI: -0.364 to -0.158), with the mediating effect accounting for 29.79% of the total effect.
Conclusion
AIDS-related stress among elderly cases with HIV/AIDS can directly or indirectly negatively affect patient-reported outcome through resilience.

Spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome is currently the most prevalent TCM pattern in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), with internal damp-heat accumulation regarded as a key factor contributing to its prolonged and refractory course. This syndrome represents a critical stage in the progressive pathogenesis of CAG, characterized by a deepening pathological evolution. Modern TCM practitioners generally agree that its core pathogenesis lies in "deficiency in root and excess in superficiality, with internal damp-heat retention", and emphasize a treatment strategy that combines eliminating pathogenic factors and reinforcing the body's healthy qi through dynamic syndrome differentiation. Chinese materia medica used in treating CAG with spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome can effectively relieve clinical symptoms, improve the internal damp-heat environment, mitigate gastric mucosal atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, and delay the inflammation-to-cancer transformation. Its mechanisms may involve eradication of Helicobacter pylori, repair of gastric mucosal injury, regulation of immune inflammatory response and other aspects, which has the advantages of multi-channel and multi-target.

Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2025;60(10):1827-1832
Objective:
To investigate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) -autophagy pathway in rifampicininduced liver injury and its possible mechanism.
Methods:
Forty 6-8-week-old C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into five groups : control group , model group , TFEB low-dose agonist group , TFEB high-dose agonist group , and autophagy agonist group , with 8 mice in each group. Except for the control group , the other four groups were given rifampicin 200 mg/(kg ·d) by gavage daily. TFEB agonist was administered intraperitoneally at a low dose of 20 mg/kg and a high dose of 50 mg/kg for 7 days at 1 h after rifampicin administration. Autophagy agonist was administered by gavage at a dose of 10 mg/kg 6 h before rifampicin administration on day 1 . The experiment was completed 7 days after modeling. The degree of liver injury was evaluated by detecting liver function indexes and liver pathological changes. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression total TFEB , chelator 1( p62) , microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3) , benzyl chloride 1(Beclin-1) , sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide(NTCP) and bile salt export pump(BSEP) levels in liver nucleus/liver tissue were quantified.
Results:
Compared with the control group , the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) , aspartate aminotransferase (AST) , total bilirubin ( TBIL) , direct bilirubin ( DBIL) , and total bile acid ( TBA) in the model group increased (P < 0. 05) , and obvious pathological changes were observed in the liver. Compared with the model group , the high dose and low dose of TFEB agonist and autophagy agonist groups had reductions in the above indicators (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the low-dose TFEB agonist group , the high-dose TFEB agonist group had reductions in the above indicators (P < 0. 05) . The proportion of TFEB in the nucleus was ( 1. 0 ± 0. 10) in the control group , (0. 6 ± 0. 05) in the model group , (0. 8 ± 0. 08) in the low-dose agonist group , and (0. 9 ± 0. 07) in the high-dose agonist group (P < 0. 05) . Autophagy agonist group (0. 7 ± 0. 06) (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the control group , the levels of NTCP and BSEP in the liver of the model group decreased (P < 0. 05) , and the expression of NTCP and BSEP in the TFEB low-dose and high-dose agonist groups were restored , and the expression of NTCP and BSEP in the autophagy agonist group also increased (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the control group , the protein expression levels of TFEB , LC3- Ⅱ/LC3- Ⅰand Beclin-1 in the liver tissue of the model group significantly decreased (P < 0. 05) , while the protein expression level of p62 significantly increased ( P < 0. 05) . Compared with the model group , the protein expression levels of TFEB , LC3- Ⅱ/LC3- Ⅰand Beclin-1 in the liver tissue of the TFEB agonist high-dose group , low-dose group and autophagy agonist group increased (P < 0. 05) , while the protein expression level of p62 decreased (P < 0. 05) .
Conclusion
TFEB can improve rifampicin-induced liver injury by activating autophagy pathway , and the main mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of NTCP and BSEP expression.
