ObjectiveTo explore the construction of a risk assessment indicator system for common infectious diseases in Shanghai’s childcare institutions, and to provide a reference standard for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, staff training and system construction in childcare institutions. MethodsBy combining the Delphi method with the literature review and expert consultation, the hierarchical dimensions and items at all levels of the risk assessment indicator system for common infectious diseases in Shanghai’s childcare institutions were constructed, and the weighting coefficients were determined by analytic hierarchy process. ResultsA total of 14 experts from the field of childcare institutions, infectious disease control, child healthcare and health supervision participated in the Delphi consultation. The system consisted of four core dimensions: organizational management, team building, hardware equipment, and infectious disease surveillance and disposal, with the weighting coefficients of 0.285 9, 0.261 6, 0.204 3 and 0.248 2, respectively. The evaluation indicator system consisted of 4 primary indicators, 15 secondary indicators and 45 tertiary items. The positivity coefficients of the two rounds of Delphi consultation were 0.93 and 1.00, the authority coefficients were both 0.81, and the Kendall’s coefficient of concordance were 0.44 and 0.49, respectively (P<0.01). ConclusionThe high expert engagement and coordination indicate that organizational management and team building remain the critical priorities for infectious disease prevention and control in Shanghai’s childcare institutions. It is recommended to strengthen financial investment, improve institutional mechanisms, and enhance personnel reserves and capacity building for healthcare teachers, thereby systematically upgrading the infectious disease control capabilities of childcare institutions.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic interstitial lung disease, is characterized by aberrant wound healing, excessive scarring and the formation of myofibroblastic foci. Although the role of alternative splicing (AS) in the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis has garnered increasing attention, its specific contribution to pulmonary fibrosis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we identified an up-regulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7) in lung fibroblasts derived from IPF patients and a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model, and further characterized its functional role in both human fetal lung fibroblasts and mice. We demonstrated that enhanced expression of Srsf7 in mice spontaneously induced alveolar collagen accumulation. Mechanistically, we investigated alternative splicing events and revealed that SRSF7 modulates the alternative splicing of pyruvate kinase (PKM), leading to metabolic dysregulation and fibroblast activation. In vivo studies showed that fibroblast-specific knockout of Srsf7 in conditional knockout mice conferred resistance to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Importantly, through drug screening, we identified lomitapide as a novel modulator of SRSF7, which effectively mitigated experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Collectively, our findings elucidate a molecular pathway by which SRSF7 drives fibroblast metabolic dysregulation and propose a potential therapeutic strategy for pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of the histone deacetylase SIRT7 in glioma cells and its impact on epithelial-mesenchymal transformation(EMT),as well as its effects on proliferative,migratory and invasive capabilities of glioma cells.Methods Bioinformatics analysis was conducted on data from glioma patients in the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and the Chinese glioma Genome Atlas(CGGA)databases to explore the expression of SIRT7 gene in gliomas and its correlation with tumor grading,molecular characteristics and patient clinical prognosis.Glioma cells were randomly divided into control,SIRT7 knockdown,SIRT7 overexpression,drug treatment(10 μmol/L hydrochlorothiazide)and drug(10 μmol/L hydrochlorothiazide)+SIRT7 overexpression groups.The CCK-8 assay,cell scratch assay and Transwell assay were used to observe the effects of upregulating and downregulating SIRT7 expression on glioma cell proliferation,migration and invasion.RT-qPCR and Western blotting were employed to detect the effects of SIRT7 on the expression of neural cadherin(N-cadherin),Vimentin,E-cadherin,transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β),Ki-67,and Smad3 protein in glioma cells.Nude mouse tumor-bearing experiments were conducted to observe the effect of SIRT7 knockdown on glioma growth.Results Higher expression levels of SIRT7 gene were associated with poorer clinical prognosis(P＜0.0001).SIRT7 expression levels were significantly correlated with tumor grading and 1p19q coding status(P＜0.01).Compared with normal HA cells,glioma cells showed significantly increased SIRT7 expression levels(P＜0.01).CCK-8 assay results indicated that,compared with control group,the proliferation activity of glioma cells in SIRT7 knockout group was significantly decreased(P＜0.01),while SIRT7 overexpression group showed significantly increased proliferation activity(P＜0.01).EdU assay results showed that,compared with control group,the proportion of glioma cells in the proliferative stage was significantly decreased in SIRT7 knockdown group(P＜0.01),and significantly increased in SIRT7 overexpression group(P＜0.01).Western blotting results revealed that,compared with control group,the protein expression levels of TGF-β,Smad3,N-cadherin and Vimentin were significantly decreased in SIRT7 knockdown group(P＜0.01),while the expression level of E-cadherin protein was significantly increased(P＜0.05).SIRT7 overexpression group showed significantly increased protein expression levels of TGF-β,Smad3,N-cadherin and Vimentin(P＜0.05),and a significantly decrease in E-cadherin protein expression level(P＜0.05).Scratch assay results indicated that,compared with control group,the migration ability of cells in SIRT7 knockdown group and drug group was significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and SIRT7 overexpression group showed significantly increased cell migration ability(P＜0.05).Compared with drug group,drug+SIRT7 overexpression group exhibited significantly increased cell migration ability(P＜0.01).Transwell assay results showed that,compared with control group,the migration and invasion abilities of cells in SIRT7 knockdown group and drug group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and SIRT7 overexpression group exhibited significantly increased migration and invasion abilities(P＜0.01).Compared with drug group,drug+SIRT7 overexpression group showed significantly increased migration and invasion abilities(P＜0.01).Nude mouse tumor-bearing assay results indicated that the volume and weight of glioma in SIRT7 knockdown group were significantly reduced compared with control group(P＜0.01).Conclusions Glioma patients with high SIRT7 expression have poorer clinical prognosis.SIRT7 can regulate the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway to mediate EMT,promoting the proliferation and migration of glioma cells.SIRT7 knockdown can inhibit the growth of transplanted gliomas in nude mice.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Superior vena cava syndrome(SVCS)is a group of clinical syndromes caused by obstruction of the superior vena cava and its major branches from various causes.Pulmonary artery stenosis(PS)is a complication of lung cancer or mediastinal tumours.SVCS combined with PS due to pulmonary metastases from bladder cancer is extremely rare and has not been reported in the literature.Here we reported an old male patient with pulmonary metastases from bladder cancer presenting with swelling of the head,neck and both upper limbs.SVCS combined with PS was clarified by pulmonary artery computed tomography angiography(CTA)and digital subtraction angiography(DSA).Endovascular stenting was used to treat SVCS.Angiography also showed that PS had not caused pulmonary hypertension and did not need to be treated.The swelling of the patient's head,neck and upper limbs was gradually reduced after the procedure.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of E-cadherin and β-catenin and calcium phosphorus metabolism and carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Methods A total of 112 patients with diabetic nephropathy admitted to the hospital from May 2019 to No-vember 2022 were selected as the study group,and were divided into a carotid artery calcification group(n=44)and a non-carotid artery calcification group(n=68)according to the results of bilateral carotid artery col-or Doppler ultrasound.In addition,90 healthy people who underwent physical examination in the hospital dur-ing the same period were selected as the control group.Serum E-cadherin,β-catenin,calcium phosphorus me-tabolism levels were detected and compared.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between serum E-cadherin,β-catenin and calcium phosphorus metabolism in patients with diabetic nephropa-thy.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum E-cad-herin and β-catenin for carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of carotid artery calcification in patients with di-abetic nephropathy.Results The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin,serum phosphorus,calcium-phosphorus product,parathyroid hormone(iPTH),creatinine,alkaline phosphatase and β-catenin in the study group were higher than those in the control group,and the level of E-cadherin was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine,al-kaline phosphatase and β-catenin in the carotid artery calcification group were higher than those in the non-ca-rotid artery calcification group,and the level of E-cadherin was lower than that in the non-carotid artery calci-fication group(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum E-cadherin level in patients with di-abetic nephropathy was negatively correlated with serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine and alkaline phosphatase(r=-0.453,-0.654,-0.365,-0.490,-0.411,-0.377,all P＜0.001).The level of serum β-catenin was positively correlated with serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine,and alkaline phosphatase(r=0.444,0.345,0.421,0.398,0.651,0.622,all P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum E-cad-herin,β-catenin and their combination for predicting carotid artery calcification in diabetic nephropathy were 0.844(95％CI 0.795-0.894),0.853(95％CI 0.801-0.901)and 0.901(95％CI 0.801-0.901),respec-tively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum E-cadherin(OR=3.789,95％CI 2.055-6.983),β-catenin(OR=4.104,95％CI 1.795-9.385),calcium phosphorus product(OR=2.998,95％CI 1.895-4.743)and iPTH(OR=2.713,95％CI 1.787-4.118)were the influencing factors of carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy(P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of β-catenin is increased and the level of E-cadherin is decreased in patients with diabetic nephropathy.β-catenin and E-cadherin are closely related to calcium phosphorus metabolism and carotid artery calcification,which could be used as effec-tive indicators to evaluate carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.The combination ofβ-catenin and E-cadherin has a higher predictive value for carotid artery calcification.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of growth differentiation factor-11(GDF-11)and S100 calcium binding protein A4(S100A4)and the severity and disease outcome in diabetic nephropathy(DN)patients.Methods A total of 95 DN patients admitted to the hospital from May 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study group,and 110 healthy people were selected as the healthy group.The DN patients were divided into mild group(n=66)and severe group(n=29)according to the severity of the disease.The patients were followed up for half a year after discharge,and were divided into good prognosis group(n=64)and poor prognosis group(n=31)according to the prognosis.Serum GDF-11 and S100A4 lev-els were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to ex-plore the relationship between serum GDF-11,S100A4 levels and the severity of the disease.Receiver operat-ing characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 for dis-ease outcome in DN patients,and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of disease outcome in DN patients.Results The levels of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 in mild group and severe group were higher than those in healthy group,and those in severe group were higher than those in mild group(P＜0.05).Serum GDF-11 and S100A4 levels were positively correlated with the severity of DN patients(P＜0.05).The good prognosis group had significantly lower serum levels of GDF-11 and S100A4 than the poor prognosis group(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 in predicting the outcome of DN patients was 0.785 and 0.839,respectively,and the AUC of combined prediction was 0.902.The proportion of type 2 diabetes(T2DM)duration,glomerular grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ,interstitial inflammation score 2,interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy(IFTA)score 2-3 points,estimate glomerular filtration rate＜60 mL/(min·1.73 m2)and the levels of total cholesterol,triglyceride,low-density lipoprotein choles-terol,24 h urinary protein,glycosylated hemoglobin,C-peptide,hematocrit,and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the good prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis showed that the duration of T2DM ≥12.0 years,IFTA score ≥2 points,GDF-11≥700.82 ng/mL,S100A4 ≥ 211.53 ng/L were risk factors for poor prognosis in DN patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum S100A4 and GDF-11 are highly expressed in patients with diabetes mellitus,and are related to the severity and outcome of the disease,which are expected to be potential markers for eval-uating the condition and prognosis of diabetes mellitus.
