Objective: To investigate the status of antibiotic exposure in third grade primary school students in Shenzhen,so as to provide evidence for the scientific management of antibiotic use and reduction of population health risks. Methods: From 1 September to 30 October 2021, 200 third grade students from 8 primary schools in Luohu District of Shenzhen were selected by cluster random sampling as research subjects. The body composition was measured, urine samples were collected, and the contents of 35 antibiotics in the samples were detected by mass spectrometry. Relevant dietary habit information of the subjects was collected via questionnaires. The Chi square test was used to compare the detection rate of antibiotics among different genders and weight grades. The Logistic regression model was adopted to evaluate the correlation between the target antibiotic detection rate and dietary habits. Results: At least one type of antibiotic was detected in 198 of the subjects with an overall detection rate of 99.0% . Among the 35 target antibiotics, 23 were detected with detection rates ranging from 0.5%-69.5%. Quinolones had the highest detection rate of 86.5% , followed by macrolides and sulfonamides with detection rates of 77.5% and 76.5%, respectively. The detection rate of antibiotics was 98.3% in boys and 100.0% in girls with no statistically significant difference ( χ 2=1.35, P >0.05). The detection rates of quinolones, macrolides, and sulfonamides varied significantly among children with different BMI categories ( χ 2=38.18, 12.45, 9.76 , all P <0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression model analysis showed that the macrolide detection rate was affected by genders( OR =0.42) and the sulfonamide detection rate was significantly correlated with the frequency of dairy product consumption and being overweight( OR =2.01)(both P <0.05). Enrofloxacin was associated with the weekly consumption frequency of livestock meat such as pork, beef and mutton, as well as the weekly consumption frequency of poultry meat such as chicken, duck and goose ( OR = 2.81,2.17,both P <0.05). Trimethoprim was associated with the weekly frequency of drinking pure milk ( OR =5.49, P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Third grade primary school students in Shenzhen are generally exposed to low dose antibiotics. Macrolides, quinolones, and sulfonamides may be associated with the risk of obesity in primary school students.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of albumin-bilirubin （ALBI） score combined with platelet count-to-spleen thickness ratio （PC/ST） in predicting rebleeding within one year after endoscopic variceal ligation in liver cirrhosis patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding （EVB）， to evaluate the risk assessment ability of this model， and to provide a reference for clinical prevention of rebleeding. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of liver cirrhosis patients with EVB who were hospitalized in Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 1， 2020 to December 31， 2024. All patients achieved successful hemostasis after endoscopic variceal ligation， and according to whether rebleeding occurred within one year after surgery， they were divided into rebleeding group and non-rebleeding group. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify independent influencing factors for rebleeding. A prediction model was constructed based on the factors identified， and a nomogram was plotted for model visualization. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to assess the discriminatory ability of the model， and the area under the ROC curve （AUC） was calculated； calibration curve was used to assess calibration； decision curve analysis was used to assess the net clinical benefit of the model. ResultsA total of 258 patients were enrolled， among whom 70 patients experienced rebleeding within one year， resulting in a rebleeding rate of 27.1%. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that ALBI score （hazard ratio ［HR］=4.679， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 2.952 — 7.417， P<0.001） and PC/ST （HR=0.461， 95%CI： 0.318 — 0.668， P<0.001） were independent influencing factors for rebleeding in liver cirrhosis patients with EVB. The model constructed based on these two factors yielded an AUC of 0.766 （95%CI： 0.667 — 0.866）， 0.775 （95%CI： 0.699 — 0.851）， and 0.809 （95%CI： 0.752 — 0.866）， respectively， for predicting the risk of rebleeding at 6 weeks， 6 months， and 1 year. The calibration curve showed that the model systematically underestimated the probability of rebleeding at 6 weeks and 6 months， but its prediction for the probability of rebleeding at 1 year aligned well with the ideal curve. The decision curve analysis showed that the model provided a clear net clinical benefit for predicting rebleeding within 1 year. ConclusionThe model constructed based on ALBI score and PC/ST had good performance in predicting the risk of rebleeding within 1 year after endoscopic variceal ligation in liver cirrhosis patients with EVB.

Objective To explore the correlation between the actual age and the pulp chamber volume(PCV)and pulp dentinal index(PDI)of the right first molars based on cone beam computed tomog-raphy(CBCT)technology,and to construct an accurate and convenient model for age estimation.Methods CBCT image data of 1 857 Han adults(883 males and 974 females)from the Department of Stomatology,Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College were collected.The data were di-vided into training and validation sets at a ratio of 8∶2.A total of 1 485 training samples were used to construct the age estimation model,and 372 samples were used to validate the accuracy of the model.The Mimics 21.0 software was used to measure the PCV and calculate the PDI of the right first molars.Their correlations with age and the differences between different sexes and tooth positions were analyzed.Results Both the PCV and the PDI of the first molars showed strong negative correla-tions with the actual age(r values ranged from 0.82 to 0.89).The differences in PCV and PDI be-tween different sexes and tooth positions were statistically significant(P<0.05).The age estimation model based on PDI was superior to that based on PCV.The model based on the PDI values of the two right first molars(y=73.72-44.15 x3-28.27 x4,where x3 and x4 are the PDI values of the right maxil-lary and mandibular first molars,respectively)was the best,with the R2 of 0.79 and the mean abso-lute error of 4.90 years.Conclusion Both PCV and PDI of the first molars are effective indicators for age estimation.The age estimation model based on the PDI is more convenient and accurate than that based on the PCV,providing a more effective method for age estimation in forensic practice.

Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the proportion of disability adjusted life years(DALYs)attributed to aging population in common digestive system malignancies in China,and predict the proportion and the trends of DALYs attributed to aging proportion from 2022 to 2046.Methods Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021,the DALY data of esophageal cancer,stomach cancer,colorectal cancer,pancreatic cancer,liver cancer,gallbladder and biliary tract cancer of Chinese people aged≥25 years from 1990 to 2021 were selected.The age-period-birth models were used to predict the DALY of malignant tumors from 2022 to 2046.The changes of DALY from 1990 to 2046 were decomposed into population growth,population aging,and age-specific DALY rate changes,and analyze the proportion of DALY changes attributable to population aging and its change trend.Results From 1990 to 2021,the DALY change rates of esophageal cancer,stomach cancer,colorectal cancer,pancreatic cancer,liver cancer,gall-bladder and biliary tract cancer in Chinese people aged≥25 years were 18.20％,-0.34％,98.10％,164.16％,58.21％and 90.62％,respectively.Compared with 2021,the proportion of DALY changes attributed to population aging for six types of malignant tumors in 1990 was from-38.32％to-19.72％.The top three cancer types with the highest attribution ratios were stomach cancer(-38.32％),esophageal cancer(-38.07％),gallbladder and biliary tract cancer(-29.78％).The expected change rates of DALY for the six types of malignant tumors from 2021 to 2046 were 20.72％,11.50％,58.19％,57.38％,21.36％and 48.39％,respective-ly.By compared with 2021,the proportion of DALY changes of six malignant tumors attributed to population aging in 2046 was from 18.82％to 47.83％,and the top three cancers attributed to the proportion were gallbladder and biliary tract cancer(47.83％),color-ectal cancer(43.07％)and pancreatic cancer(38.76％).From 2022 to 2046,the proportion of DALY changes attributed to aging pop-ulation for the six types of malignant tumors would continue to rise(P＜0.001).The proportions of colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer attributed to population aging and the proportion of age-specific DALY rate were both positive and rising(P＜0.001),which would eventually promote the further increase of DALY.Conclusion Population aging has become the main driving factor for the growth of DALY in digestive system malignant tumors in China.The impact on DALY of colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer will be prominent in the future.Targeted prevention and control strategies should be developed to actively respond to population aging.
