To systematically analyzed the reporting status of core elements in publicly available clinical practice guideline(hereafter referred to as "guideline") protocols published domestically and internationally over the past decade, identified existing problems, and provided evidence to inform the standardized writing and publication of future guideline protocols.

Objective To investigate the association between dietary patterns and adolescent development in girls in Pudong New Area，Shanghai. Methods Using a stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 998 girls were selected from the cohort of growth, development, and health of children and adolescents in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Physical development examinations and dietary surveys were conducted on these girls. Principal component analysis was used to determine girls' dietary patterns, and their relationship with adolescent development was analyzed using logistic regression. Results Among the 998 participants, 770 (77.15%) were pubertal girls. The factor analysis identified three dietary patterns, fungi and algae~nuts~legumes pattern, meat-vegetables and fruits-cereals pattern, and milk-eggs pattern. Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, waist circumference, residential district, mother's education level, and father's education level, the Q2 level (OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.30-0.99), Q3 level (OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.27-0.91), and Q4 level (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.90) of the fungi and algae-nuts-legumes pattern were negatively correlated with adolescent development. The Q2 level (OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.27-0.87) and Q3 level (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.27-0.88) of the milk-eggs pattern were also negatively correlated with adolescent development. Conclusion The fungi and algae~nuts~legumes pattern and milk-eggs patterns are inversely related to pubertal development.

BACKGROUND:The repair process of myocardial injury involves complex cellular and molecular mechanisms,especially mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis pathways.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has shown significant clinical efficacy in improving myocardial injury,but its mechanism of action needs to be thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis-mediated macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis pathways in myocardial injury,and to summarize the progress of TCM in this field. METHODS:A computerized search was performed for relevant literature from the database inception to March 2024 in the Web of Science,PubMed and CNKI.The search terms were"mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,macrophage autophagy,macrophage pyroptosis,traditional Chinese medicine,myocardial injury,myocardial injury reperfusion"in Chinese and English.Through literature review,we analyzed the relationship between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis,explored the mechanism of their roles in myocardial injury,and summarized the pathways of multi-targeted,multi-pathway effects of TCM. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The maintenance of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis has been found to be closely related to the normal function of cardiomyocytes.Macrophages can participate in the repair process of myocardial injury through autophagy and pyroptosis pathways.Autophagy contributes to cell clearance and regulation of inflammatory response,while pyroptosis affects myocardial repair by releasing inflammatory factors.TCM regulates mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and macrophage function through multiple mechanisms.For example,astragalosid regulates calcium homeostasis by lowering mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibiting cytochrome C,and epimedium glycoside plays a role in reducing β-amyloid deposition.In addition,herbal compounds and single drugs promote myocardial repair by activating or inhibiting specific signaling pathways,such as PI3K/AKT and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways.Future studies should focus on the interactions between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,autophagy and pyroptosis pathways,as well as how TCM can exert therapeutic effects through these pathways to provide new strategies and drugs for the treatment of myocardial injury.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of an intelligent handheld ultrasound (US) device for assisting non-expert general practitioners (GPs) in detecting carotid plaques (CPs) in community populations. Methods: This prospective parallel controlled trial recruited 111 consecutive community residents. All of them underwent examinations by non-expert GPs and specialist doctors using handheld US devices (setting A, setting B, and setting C). The results of setting C with specialist doctors were considered the gold standard. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and the features of CPs were measured and recorded. The diagnostic performance of GPs in distinguishing CPs was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Inter-observer agreement was compared using the intragroup correlation coefficient (ICC). Questionnaires were completed to evaluate clinical benefits. Results: Among the 111 community residents, 80, 96, and 112 CPs were detected in settings A, B, and C, respectively. Setting B exhibited better diagnostic performance than setting A for detecting CPs (area under the curve, 0.856 vs. 0.749; P<0.01). Setting B had better consistency with setting C than setting A in CIMT measurement and the assessment of CPs (ICC, 0.731 to 0.923). Moreover, measurements in setting B required less time than the other two settings (44.59 seconds vs. 108.87 seconds vs. 126.13 seconds, both P<0.01). Conclusion Using an intelligent handheld US device, GPs can perform CP screening and achieve a diagnostic capability comparable to that of specialist doctors.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of fat content measurement based on magnetic resonance multi-echo Dixon(ME-Dixon)technique combined with serological indicators for early liver fibrosis.Methods A total of 78 patients with early liver fibrosis who underwent liver biopsy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from August 2019 to October 2021 were included.According to the pathological results,the patients with early liver fibrosis were divided into the S0 group(n=21),the S1 group(n=32),and the S2 group(n=25).Meanwhile,the complete imaging examination results(including ME-Dixon sequence)and laboratory examination results[including hyaluronic acid(HA),procollagen Ⅲ(PCⅢ),collagen Ⅳ(CⅣ),laminin(LN),aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine amino-transferase(ALT),gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT),alkaline phosphatase(ALP)]were collected.And the hepatic fat fraction(HFF)was measured by ME-Dixon technique.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences in HFF and serological indicators among the three groups,and then factors with statistical differences in the univariate analysis were selected to draw receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate their value in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis and the degree of early liver fibrosis.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the PCⅢ,LN,AST,or ALT among the S0,S1,and S2 groups(P>0.05),while there were statistically significant differences in the HFF,HA,CⅣ,GGT,and ALP(P<0.05),and the levels of HA,CⅣ,GGT,and ALP in the S2 group were significantly higher than those in the S0 and S1 groups(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the above indicators for diagnosing liver fibrosis and the degree of early liver fibrosis based on AUC values were in the following order:HFF+GGT(0.72)>HFF(0.68)>GGT(0.61)>CⅣ(0.54)>ALP(0.53)>HA(0.48)and HA+CⅣ(0.71)>CⅣ(0.68)>HA(0.66)>GGT(0.61)>ALP(0.59)>HFF(0.46).Conclusion The fat content measurement based on magnetic resonance ME-Dixon tech-nique combined with serological indicators has significant reference value for the diagnosis of early liver fibrosis,and it plays a certain guid-ing role in clinical diagnosis and treatment.
