Objective: To explore the relationship between snack consumption and depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a basis for improving depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences. Methods: From October to December 2022,a cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 ethnic minority areas (Fugong County, Longling County, Longyang District, Luchun County, Mojiang County, Nanjian County, Qiaojia County, Shuangjiang County, Tengchong City, Yuanmou County, Zhenyuan County) in Yunnan Province for a questionnaire survey. The Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 was applied to assess depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students, and snack consumption was collected by employing food frequency questionnaire. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between first year junior high school students snack consumption and depressive symptoms, and the analysis was stratified according to left behind experience. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms among firstyear junior high school students with and without left behind experience were 36.25% and 26.91%, respectively. After controlling for confounding variables, the generalized linear model analysis showed that sweet snacks ( β=0.16, 95%CI =0.07-0.25), fast food ( β=0.14, 95%CI =0.04-0.23) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.09, 95%CI =0.01-0.17) of first year junior high school students with left behind experience (all P <0.05). Compared with those without such behavior, the risk of depressive symptoms was higher in consumption of fast food ( β=0.13, 95%CI =0.07-0.18) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.10, 95%CI =0.06-0.15)among first year junior high school students without left behind experience (both P <0.05). Conclusion Snack consumption among first year junior high school students in Yunnan may increase the risk of developing depressive symptoms, while first year junior high school students with left behind experience may have a greater risk of developing depressive symptoms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of medicated serum of Siwutang on autophagy of ovarian granulosa cells （KGN cells） in polycystic ovarian syndrome （PCOS） and its underlying mechanism. METHODS Blank serum and different- concentration medicated serum of Siwutang were prepared by intragastric administration of normal saline and different doses of Siwutang [0.52， 1.04， 2.08 g/（kg·d）] in 3-month-old female SD rats. After screening the intervention concentration of Siwutang medicated serum， KGN cells were divided into control group （without any treatment）， dehydroepiandrosterone （DHEA） group （treated with 50 μmol/L DHEA for 48 h）， blank serum group （treated with 50 μmol/L DHEA for 48 h and with 10% blank serum for 72 h） and medium-concentration of Siwutang medicated serum group （treated with 50 μmol/L DHEA for 48 h and with 10% medium-concentration Siwutang medicated serum for 72 h）. The number of autophagosomes was observed in each group， and protein expressions of pathway-related proteins [fructose-1， 6-bisphosphatase 1 （FBP1），mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， phosphorylated mTOR （p-mTOR）]， autophagy-related proteins [p62， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 （LC3）] and mRNA expression of FBP1 were also detected. The （transfected） cells were further divided into Siwutang group （treated with 10% medium dose of Siwutang medicated serum for 72 h after 48 h intervention with 50 μmol/L DHEA）， Siwutang+si-NC group [negative control small interfering RNA （siRNA） transfected cells treated with 50 μmol/L DHEA for 48 h， and then with 10% medium-concentration of Siwutang medicated serum for 72 h] and Siwutang+si-FBP1 group （FBP1 siRNA transfected cells treated with 50 μmol/L DHEA for 48 h， and then with 10% medium-concentration Siwutang medicated serum for 72 h）. The effects of knocking down FBP1 on the above-mentioned effects of Siwutang were detected. RESULTS Compared with control group， DHEA group exhibited an increase in the number of autophagosomes， an elevated LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and p-mTOR/mTOR， as well as increases in protein and mRNA expressions of FBP1， and decreased protein expression of p62 （P＜0.05）. Compared to both DHEA group and blank serum group， the medium-concentration of Siwutang medicated serum group showed a decrease in the number of autophagosomes， a decrease in LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ， and increases in p-mTOR/mTOR， protein expression of p62， protein and mRNA expressions of FBP1 （P＜0.05）. After knocking down FBP1， compared with Siwutang+si-NC group， Siwutang+si-FBP1 group showed a significant decrease in cell viability， protein expression of p62 ， protein and mRNA expressions of FBP1 as well as p-mTOR/mTOR， and an increase in LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Siwutang can promote the phosphorylation of mTOR protein by up- regulating the protein and mRNA expressions of FBP1 in KGN cells， thus inhibiting autophagy of KGN cells.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of finerenone combined with standard of care （SoC） in the treatment of heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction （HFmrEF） or preserved ejection fraction （HFpEF）. METHODS Based on a phase Ⅲ clinical trial， a Markov model was constructed from the perspective of China’s healthcare system to compare the treatment outcomes of finerenone combined with SoC regimen versus SoC regimen alone in the treatment of different cardiac functional statuses of HFmrEF/HFpEF. Using quality-adjusted life year （QALY） as the health output index， 3 times China’s per capita GDP in 2023 as the willingness-to-pay （WTP） threshold， a simulation was conducted with a 3-month cycle length and a 10- year time horizon， incorporating an annual discount rate of 5%. The dynamic changes across various stages of HFmrEF/HFpEF treated with finerenone combined with SoC versus SoC alone were simulated to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and costs of the two treatment strategies. Additionally， one-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were performed， to test the robustness of the results. RESULTS The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER） of the finerenone combined with SoC regimen versus SoC regimen alone was 179 504.75 yuan/QALY， which was below the WTP threshold set in this study， indicating that the finerenone combined with SoC regimen possessed certain economic advantages. The results of one-way sensitivity analysis showed that the utility value of NYHA Ⅱ status， the drug price of finerenone， the discount rate， and the probability of hospital transfer for both groups had a great influence on ICER， but did not affect the robustness of the model. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis also confirmed the robustness of the model. CONCLUSIONS Under the WTP threshold set in this study， finerenone combined with SoC is cost-effective in the treatment of HFmrEF/HFpEF， compared with the SoC regimen.

ObjectiveTo investigate the quality markers of Xiaoqinglong granules（XQLG） for treating bronchial asthma using the analytic hierarchy process（AHP）-entropy weight method（EWM）， network pharmacology and high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） content determination. MethodsEffectiveness， testability and peculiarity component data of XQLG in treating bronchial asthma were constructed through database retrieval， literature review， and network pharmacology. Subsequently， AHP-EWM was used to quantitatively identify and weight the control layer and element layer， the relevant compounds were selected as candidate quality markers based on comprehensive scores. Further comparison of reference substances and establishment of HPLC content determination method were used to determine the potential quality markers of XQLG， which were verified by molecular docking with disease targets. ResultsA total of 13 components， including glycyrrhizic acid， paeoniflorin， schisandrol A， isoliquiritigenin， 6-gingerol， ephedrine， liquiritin， albiflorin， liquiritigenin， 6-shogaol， pseudoephedrine， cinnamic acid and cinnamaldehyde， were identified as potential quality markers of XQLG by AHP-EWM. Quantitative analysis indicated that all aforementioned quality markers could be detected in 13 batches of XQLG， indicating that it had stable testability as a quality marker. Among these 13 batches of samples， ephedrine and paeoniflorin exhibited good consistency in content， while pseudoephedrine and cinnamaldehyde showed poor consistency. Molecular docking analysis revealed that the 13 compounds exhibited binding energies with the core targets -2.11 kcal·mol^-1， indicating that the 13 compounds could spontaneously bind to the disease targets， which may be the material basis for the treatment of bronchial asthma with XQLG. ConclusionIn this study， 13 compounds were screened by AHP-EWM combined with network pharmacology and HPLC as quality markers for the treatment of bronchial asthma by XQLG， laying the foundation for enhancing the quality standards of this preparation.

Objectives:To develop modified prehospital stroke scales and to evaluate their predictive value for in-hospital acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke.Methods:Patients admitted to Dongtai People's Hospital due to non-stroke-related diseases and activated the in-hospital stroke green channel due to suspected stroke symptoms during hospitalization from January 2015 to December 2022 were included retrospectively. According to the final imaging diagnosis, they were divided into LVO group and non-LVO group. The five prehospital stroke scales included Field Assessment Stroke Triage for Emergency Destination (FAST-ED), Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation (RACE), Los Angeles Motor Scale (LAMS), Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Severity Scale (CPSSS), and Prehospital Acute Stroke Severity Scale (PASS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent predictive factors of LVO in patients with in-hospital stroke, and incorporating them into the prehospital stroke scale to develop modified scales. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive performance of the modified scales. Results:A total of 174 patients with in-hospital stroke were enrolled, including 92 males (52.9%), aged 65.7±11.9 years. Fifty-four patients (31.0%) had LVO, and 59 (33.9%) had a surgical history within 3 days before the onset of stroke, mainly cardiopulmonary surgeries. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that atrial fibrillation (odds ratio 2.940, 95% confidence interval 1.387-6.230; P=0.005) and recent history of cardiopulmonary surgery (odds ratio 6.861, 95% confidence interval 2.437-11.315; P<0.001) were the independent predictive factors of LVO in patients with in-hospital stroke. According to the β coefficient and ROC curve, they were assigned a score of 1 and included in the prehospital stroke scale. The area under the curve of the modified scale for predicting LVO (mRACE: 0.917; mFAST-ED: 0.865; mPASS: 0.859; mCPSSS: 0.853; mLAMS: 0.907) was significantly higher than the corresponding original scale (RACE: 0.888; FAST-ED: 0.820; PASS: 0.786; CPSSS: 0.810; LAMS: 0.859) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The modified scales based on the prehospital stroke scales can significantly improve the predictive value of in-hospital acute LVO stroke compared to the original prehospital stroke scales.

Combined de- tection of exosome B7-H3 and CEA (AUC = 0. 928 , 95% CI:0. 877 - 0. 979) had a higher diagnostic performance for NSCLC . Conclusion B7-H3 in plasma exosomes is related to the cancer staging of NSCLC , and the combined detection of exosome B7-H3 and CEA in plasma is conducive to the laboratory diagnosis of NSCLC .

Hyperkalemia is one of the common ion metabolism disorders in clinical practice. Hyperkalemia is defined as serum potassium higher than 5.0 mmol/L according to the guidelines at home and abroad. Acute severe hyperkalemia can cause serious consequences, such as flaccid paralysis, fatal arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest. The use of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors, β-blockers and diuretics, low-sodium and high-potassium diets, and the presence of related comorbidities increase the occurrence of hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia risk exist in all clinical departments, but there is a lack of a standardization in the management of multi- department cooperation in hospital. Therefore, a number of domestic nephrology and cardiology department experts have discussed a management model for multi-department cooperation in hyperkalemia, formulating the management standard on hospital evaluation, early warning, diagnosis and treatment, and process. This can promote each department to more effectively participate in nosocomial hyperkalemia diagnosis and treatment, as well as the long-term management of chronic hyperkalemia, improving the quality of hyperkalemia management in hospital.

Objective: The study aims to analyze the prevalence and associated factors of myopia among 4 to 9 grade students in Guangdong Province in 2022, so as to provide a scientific basis for targeted intervention measures for myopia in children and adolescents. Methods: From September to October 2022, stratified cluster random sampling was used to select 29 095 of 4 to 9 grade students from Guangzhou, Jiangmen, and Meizhou in Guangdong Province for myopia screening and questionnaire surveys. The Chisquare test was applied to compare the differences between groups, and multivariable Logistic stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze factors associated with myopia. Results: The myopia detection rate of 4 to 9 grade students was 61.7%, with detection rates of 51.5% for 4 to 6 grade primary school students and 71.95% for 7 to 9 grade junior high school students. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that higher myopia rates were detected among girls (OR=1.39, 95%CI=1.30-1.49), students with one (OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.69-1.96) or both parents having myopia (OR=2.86, 95%CI=2.56-3.18), and indoor sedentary time >6 h(OR=1.28, 95%CI=1.17-1.39) in the 4 to 6 grade. Lower myopia rates were detected in the county (OR=0.92, 95%CI=0.86-0.99) and outdoors at recess activities (OR=0.88, 95%CI=0.81-0.95). Meanwhile, higher myopia rates were detected among girls (OR=1.84, 95%CI=1.69-1.99), students with one (OR=1.87, 95%CI=1.71-2.04) or both parents having myopia (OR=3.03, 95%CI=2.63-3.50), and indoor sedentary time >6 h/d (OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.01-1.23) in the 7 to 9 grade. Lower myopia rates were detected in the county (OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.68-0.80), outdoors at recess activities (OR=0.83, 95%CI=0.76-0.91), and outdoor activity time ≥2 h/d(OR=0.87, 95%CI=0.80-0.95)(P<0.05). Conclusions The detection rate of myopia among 4 to 9 grade students in Guangdong Province is relatively high. Place of recess activities, daily outdoor activity and indoor sedentary duration are associated with myopia. Therefore, targeted intervention measures should be adopted, such as appropriately increasing outdoor activity to reduce the occurrence of myopia among primary and middle school students.
