Background With China's socioeconomic development, significant lifestyle changes have occurred among occupational groups, leading to alterations in cardiovascular metabolic risk factors. However, few studies have examined the secular trends of these risk factors in China's working population. Objective To analyze the trends in cardiovascular metabolic risk factors among the occupational population in nine provinces of China from 2009 to 2018, and to explore the associations between different occupational types and these risk factors, along with their clustering patterns, thereby providing evidence for targeted interventions. Methods This study utilized data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in 2009, 2015, and 2018. The dataset covered 13274 employed individuals aged 18-59 years. Only participants with complete blood test results and physical measurement data were included in the final analysis. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) in the positive rates of risk factors was calculated using Joinpoint regression to analyze temporal trends. Multinomial logistic regression and binary logistic regression models were employed to examine the cross-sectional associations between occupational types (categorized as white-collar workers, agricultural workers, blue-collar workers, service workers, and others) and nine cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and their clustering (defined as having ≥2 risk factors) in 2018. Results A total of 8451 participants were included. From 2009 to 2018, significant increasing trends (AAPC>0, P<0.05) were observed for overweight, obesity, central obesity, borderline elevated triglycerides (TG), borderline elevated to elevated total cholesterol (TC), borderline elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), elevated blood pressure and hypertension, diabetes. The most rapid increases were found for obesity (AAPC=6.07%, 95%CI: 3.42%, 8.88%), hypertension (AAPC=4.10%, 95%CI: 0.62%, 7.77%), and central obesity (AAPC=3.27%, 95%CI: 1.24%, 5.36%). The clustering rate of risk factors increased from 62.3% in 2009 to 73.2% in 2018 (AAPC=1.87%, 95%CI: 1.02%, 2.73%). The cross-sectional analysis in 2018, after adjusting for confounders, showed that compared with white-collar workers, blue-collar workers had a significantly lower risk of overweight (OR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.48, 0.95), central obesity (OR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.92), and borderline high TG (OR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.35, 0.82). In contrast, agricultural workers had a higher risk of hypertension (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.14, 2.72). Conclusion Between 2009 and 2015, the burden of most cardiometabolic risk factors increases significantly among the Chinese occupational population, with the rate of increase slowing by 2018. Risks vary across occupational types, among which blue- collar workers report lower target outcomes. Targeted interventions focusing on the rapidly increasing risk factors and high-risk occupational groups are recommended.

Background With rising obesity rates and earlier hypertension onset among occupational populations, there is an urgent need to elucidate the long-term cardiovascular impacts of dynamic body weight patterns. Current evidence lacks trajectory modeling studies examining occupation-specific prevention strategies. Objective To investigate the association between long-term body mass index (BMI) trajectories and incident hypertension risk in Chinese working adults, and to examine occupation-specific heterogeneity in this relationship. Methods A dynamic sub-cohort of 4 413 occupational participants was constructed from ten survey waves (1991–2018) of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Eligible individuals had valid key BMI records at three or more independent follow-ups before the outcome event; the individual baseline was set as the year of their first participation in the survey. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to identify BMI change patterns. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for hypertension incidence across trajectory groups, with stratified analysis by occupational categories. Results Among 4413 occupational participants, 1441 incident hypertension cases were reported during the follow-up window. Three long-term BMI trajectories were identified: low-stable, moderate-slowly rising, and high-rising. In Model 3 with all selected confounders adjusted, compared with the low-stable group, the moderate-slowly rising group showed a significantly higher risk of incident hypertension (HR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.12, 1.45; P < 0.001), as did the high-increasing group (HR=1.80, 95%CI: 1.45, 2.23; P < 0.001). The stratified analyses revealed occupational differences in the association. Among agricultural workers, the moderate-slowly rising group (HR=1.35, 95%CI: 1.15, 1.57) and the high-rising group (HR=2.00, 95%CI: 1.50, 2.66) both exhibited significantly increased risks of hypertension (P<0.001). Conversely, among white-collar workers, an increased risk of hypertension was observed only in the high-rising group (HR=1.97, 95%CI: 1.23, 3.17; P<0.05). Conclusion Rapid BMI escalation constitutes a significant risk factor for incident hypertension in occupational populations. Targeted long-term weight monitoring and tailored interventions are recommended for high-risk occupations.

Objective: To explore the intervention effects of different exercise modalities on executive function in school aged children, providing references for formulating exercise prescriptions to promote school aged children executive function. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM to identify studies on the effects of exercises on executive function in school aged children. The search period spanned from the database inception to August 2025. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies. Network Meta analysis was performed using Stata 16.0. Results: A total of 51 studies involving 5 710 school aged children and seven modalities of exercises(control group,small ball sports,large ball sports,aerobic exercise,combined exercise,sport game,gymnastic and dance sports) were finally included. Network Meta analysis showed that, in terms of inhibitory control development of school aged children, small ball sports ( SMD =-0.98,95% CI =-1.32 to -0.64 ), large ball sports ( SMD =-0.64,95% CI =-0.91 to -0.36), and mixed sports ( SMD =-0.26,95% CI =-0.50 to -0.02]) were more effective than the control group; in terms of working memory, largeball sports ( SMD =-1.26,95% CI =-1.88 to -0.65) and small ball sports ( SMD =-0.91,95% CI =-1.64 to -0.19) were superior to the control group; in terms of improving cognitive flexibility, large ball sports ( SMD =-1.02,95% CI =-1.28 to -0.76), gymnastics and dance sports ( SMD =-0.80,95% CI =-1.21 to -0.40), and small ball sports ( SMD =-0.75,95% CI =-1.15 to -0.36) were more effective than the control group (all P <0.05). Surface under cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) showed that small ball sports had the highest value (SUCRA=98.9%) in improving inhibitory control, while large ball sports achieved the highest score(SUCRA=92.6%) in enhancing working memory, and large ball sports also had the highest value(SUCRA=94.7%) in promoting cognitive flexibility. Conclusions For developing inhibitory control in school aged children, small ball sports are recommended as a priority. For enhancing working memory and cognitive flexibility, large ball sports are recommended.

Objective:To analyze the current status, hotspots, and trends of community integration (CI) at home and abroad, providing directions for subsequent research.Methods:The China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Web of Science Core Collection data were used, and CiteSpace software was employed to analyze the publication, countries, disciplines, and keywords of CI.Results:A total of 932 Chinese and 2 319 English hits were included. The publication of CI had shown an increasing trend both domestically and internationally. Sociology and rehabilitation were the main disciplines in CI domestically and internationally, respectively. Domestically, CI research primarily focused on the community integration of migrant workers, floating populations, and accompanying family members. Internationally, the emphasis was on the integration of individuals with disabilities and other special groups. Future research directions in China were likely to focus on group work, the elderly, and relocated populations. Internationally, CI research would continue to concentrate on CI experiences and intervention methods for individuals with disabilities and special populations.Conclusion:CI is increasingly gaining attention both domestically and internationally. However, domestic research remains insufficient and needs to be expanded through more empirical studies in various vertical subfields. Future domestic scholars should continue to focus on CI of the elderly and engage in interdisciplinary research.

BACKGROUND:Paraspinal muscle degeneration is one of the main causative factors of low back pain,and the changes in the paraspinal muscles are closely related to its occurrence and development.At present,clinical practitioners focus on the changes of paraspinal muscles in degenerative lumbar diseases to prevent and treat lumbar diseases,but ignore the connection and related mechanisms between lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration and paraspinal muscles.OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively summarize the interaction between paraspinal muscles and lumbar intervertebral discs,and to review the relationship and mechanisms between lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration and paraspinal muscles,in order to provide a reference for clinical prevention and treatment.METHODS:Chinese keywords"lumbar intervertebral disc,paraspinal muscle,multifidus muscle,low back pain,degeneration,imaging,magnetic resonance imaging"were used to search the relevant literature in Chinese databases such as CNKI,VIP,and WanFang.English keywords"lumbar disc,paraspinal muscle,multifidus muscle,low back pain,degeneration,imaging,MRI"were used to search the relevant literature in databases such as Medline,PubMed,and Web of Science.After preliminary screening of titles and abstracts,68 articles were finally selected for result analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Researchers have used various methods to evaluate the degree of paraspinal muscle degeneration,and at the same time evaluated the degree of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration according to the Pfirrmann grading system.It is found that clinical diagnosis and treatment should pay attention to gender differences,and the influence of factors such as obesity on the degeneration of intervertebral discs and muscles,in order to develop more individualized treatment plans.(2)There is a certain correlation between lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration and paraspinal muscle fat infiltration,but the research results are controversial.Most studies have found that fat infiltration of the paraspinal muscles(especially the multifidus muscle)is positively correlated with the degree of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration.(3)It is currently believed that the three mechanisms of disuse atrophy,denervation,and inflammatory factors may interact with each other to jointly lead to structural and functional changes in the paraspinal muscles,which are closely related to the occurrence of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration and low back pain.(4)Clinically,attention should be paid to the changes of the muscles at the level below the affected nerve root segment,which is helpful for the diagnosis and localization of lumbar radiculopathy.At the same time,inhibition of inflammatory factors may become a potential target for treatment.(5)Clinically,the first step is to correct nerve root compression through appropriate medication or surgery to control inflammatory reactions and nerve root pain,and then carry out targeted muscle rehabilitation training.If necessary,consider using new treatment methods such as interferential current electrical stimulation to improve the patient's symptoms and prognosis.

Objective To study the seasonal distribution characteristics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM_2.5 in Lianyungang City, and analyze the sources of PAHs pollution, and to evaluate the health risks of PAHs in different seasons. Methods PM2.5 samples were collected regularly from January 2019 to December 2023, and 16 types of PAHs were determined by HPLC. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the concentrations of PM2.5 and PAHs in different years and seasons. The source of PAHs was analyzed by characteristic ratio and principal component analysis (PCA). Health risks were assessed using the BaP equivalent method and the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) model. Results The annual exceedance rates of PM_2.5 and BaP in Lianyungang showed a decreasing trend from 2019 to 2023. PM_2.5, total PAHs and PAHs monomers (except Ace, Flu and Acy) all showed significant seasonal differences, with the highest concentration in winter (P<0.001). The average proportion of 4-ring PAHs was the highest and the average proportion of 2-ring PAHs was the lowest. The proportion of 5-6 ring PAHs was relatively high in winter and spring. PM2.5and PAHs were negatively correlated with temperature, relative humidity and precipitation, and were positively correlated with atmospheric pressure. PM_2.5 was negatively correlated with wind speed, while some PAHs monomers were positively correlated with wind speed. The characteristic ratio and PCA results showed that the main sources of PAHs in Lianyungang City were mixed sources of road dust and vehicle emissions, oil pollution sources and biomass combustion sources. The results of ILCR showed that the highest risk was found in adults, with males slightly higher than females. In Lianyungang, the maximum value of ILCR in winter was more than 10-6 in people over 9 years old. Conclusion The main sources of PAHs in PM_2.5 in Lianyungang City are mixed sources of road dust and vehicle emissions, oil pollution sources, and biomass combustion sources. Under the current exposure level of PAHs in PM_2.5, residents have a certain potential carcinogenic risk.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent inflammation and joint damage, accompanied by the accumulation of plasma cells, which contributes to its pathogenesis. Understanding the genetic alterations occurring during plasma cell differentiation in RA can deepen our comprehension of its pathogenesis and guide the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. Here, our study elucidates the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying plasma cell differentiation by demonstrating that PRDX1 interacts with DOK3 and modulates its degradation by the autophagy-lysosome pathway. This interaction results in the inhibition of plasma cell differentiation, thereby alleviating the progression of collagen-induced arthritis. Additionally, our investigation identifies Salvianolic acid B (SAB) as a potent small molecular glue-like compound that enhances the interaction between PRDX1 and DOK3, consequently impeding the progression of collagen-induced arthritis by inhibiting plasma cell differentiation. Collectively, these findings underscore the therapeutic potential of developing chemical stabilizers for the PRDX1-DOK3 complex in suppressing plasma cell differentiation for RA treatment and establish a theoretical basis for targeting PRDX1-protein interactions as specific therapeutic targets in various diseases.

The quality of medical insurance settlement lists directly affects the accuracy and rationality of medical insurance payments. This study analyzed the quality problems existing in L City′s 2023 medical insurance settlement list from three dimensions: integrity, standardization and rationality, and introduced a series of medical insurance settlement list quality management measures implemented with a problem-oriented approach. City L has effectively improved the overall quality of medical insurance settlement list by compiling local medical insurance settlement list filling standards, building a closed-loop model for quality control management of medical insurance settlement lists, establishing a quality grading management system for medical insurance settlement lists, and incorporating the quality of medical insurance settlement lists into performance appraisal and agreement management. The proportion of medical insurance settlement lists with quality problems in the city decreased from 8.12% (87 500 out of 1 077 300) in 2023 to 1.80% (20 700 out of 1 152 000) in 2024. The number of problems related to integrity, standardization, and rationality decreased from 39 900, 129 300, and 105 300 to 12 600, 14 800, and 24 800, respectively. These findings could provide a reference for medical insurance settlement list quality management in other regions.

Objective:To explore the relationship between internal dimethylformamide (DMF) exposure levels and age and abnormal liver function in occupationally exposed workers, and to provide a reference for the prevention of DMF-induced toxicity.Methods:A total of 388 DMF exposed workers from 4 synthetic leather enterprises in Taicang City were selected by cluster sampling method from May to October 2024, and the data of occupational health examination and biological exposure indicators were collected. The relationship between N-methylcarbyl hemoglobin adduct (NMHb) and age and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), AST/ALT and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidyase (γ-GT) was analyzed by logistic regression, interaction effect analysis, and restricted cubic spline models.Results:The median age of 388 workers was 45.98 years old, the median concentration of NMHb was 165.50 nmol/g Hb, and the abnormal rate of liver function was 40.7% (158/388). NMHb and age of DMF-exposed workers were the influencing factors for liver dysfunction ( P<0.05), and the multiplicative interaction between the two was not statistically significant ( P=0.303), nor was the additive interaction statistically significant [relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) =0.17 (95% CI: -2.35, 2.69), attributable proportion (AP) =0.03 (95% CI: -0.47, 0.54), synergy index (S) =1.04 (95% CI: 0.54, 2.02) ]. NMHb concentration was positively correlated with the abnormal risk of ALT, AST, AST/ALT, γ-GT and the concentration of ALT, AST, γ-GT ( Poverall <0.05, Pnonlinear>0.05), and negatively correlated with AST/ALT ( Poverall=0.032, Pnonlinear=0.781). Age was negatively correlated with abnormal risk of ALT, AST/ALT and ALT concentration ( Poverall<0.001, Pnonlinear>0.05), and positively correlated with AST/ALT ( Poverall=0.025, Pnonlinear=0.485) . Conclusion:There is a close relationship between NMHb and age of DMF-exposed workers and abnormal liver function. γ-GT can be used as a sensitive index, and special attention should be paid to the change of ALT index in elderly workers. Age should also be considered when AST/ALT is used as the screening indicator.
