Objective: To explore the longitudinal association between weight trajectories and physical fitness test composite scores among primary school students, so as to provide empirical evidence for school based weight management and physical health promotion. Methods: A total of 2 112 students from a primary school in Beijing who participated in physical fitness assessments annually from 2008 to 2023 were included and classified into different body weight trajectory groups based on body mass index (BMI) threshold: "normal/overweight-obese". Group based trajectory model was used to identify distinct weight trajectories. Generalized estimating equation and Cox regression were used to analyze the associations between weight trajectories and changes in physical fitness test scores, as well as event risks. Robustness checks were conducted. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among primary school students was 26.50%. BMI showed a significant negative correlation with physical fitness composite scores ( r=-0.19, P <0.01). Four types of weight trajectories were identified: persistent normal group (64.5%, 1 362), persistent overweight- obese group (18.2%, 385), normal to overweight-obese group (14.0%, 296), and overweight-obese to normal group (3.3%, 69). Compared to the persistent normal group, both the normal to overweight-obese and persistent overweight-obese groups showed significantly higher risks of failing the physical fitness test ( HR =4.23, 4.60), and the speed of achieving excellent was slower ( HR = 0.52, 0.40) (all P <0.05). Robustness tests confirmed the stability of the findings. Conclusions Body weight trajectories have a long term impact on physical fitness performance among primary school students. Students with persistent or progressive overweight-obese trajectories have limited score improvement and a higher risk of failure; primary school students with persistent or progressive overweight and obesity should be a key focus.

Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

Objective To explore the application of goal-directed fluid therapy based on pulse pressure variation rate(PPV)combined with low central venous pressure(LCVP)technique in liver surgery.Methods A total of 86 patients who underwent liver lobe/segment resection in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were included,and randomly divided into two groups by random sequence method.Patients in the conventional group were treated with LCVP technique,while patients in the test group were given PPV goal-directed intervention on the basis of the conventional group.The surgical indicators,hemodynamic indicators,cognitive function,adverse reactions and recovery of gastrointestinal function of patients in the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the operation time,Pringle maneuver time,first postoperative exhausting time or first postoperative defecation time of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).However,the intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluid infusion volume and hospital stay of patients in the test group were all less/shorter than those in the conventional group(P<0.05).Compared with the time point of T0,patients in the two groups showed increased heart rate(HR)but decreased mean arterial pressure(MAP)and central venous pressure(CVP)at time points of T1 and T2(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the HR or MAP of patients between the two groups at time points of T0,T1,T2 and T3(P>0.05).At time points of T1 and T2,the CVP of patients in the test group was lower than that in the conventional group(P<0.05).One day after operation,the mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score of patients in the test group was higher than that in the conventional group(P<0.05).The MMSE scores 7 days after operation of patients in the two groups were higher than those 1 day after operation(P<0.05).Patients in the test group had a lower total incidence of adverse reactions and a shorter recovery time of gastrointestinal function than those in the conventional group(P<0.05).Conclusion The goal-directed fluid therapy based on PPV combined with LCVP technique has a good application effect in liver surgery,which can reduce intraoperative blood loss and fluid infusion volume of patients,shorten hospital stay,increase hemodynamic stability,improve postoperative cognitive dysfunction,and promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function,with a relatively high treatment safety.

Objective To explore the role of miR-1260b targeting activating transcription factor 6β(ATF6β)in osteogenic differentia-tion of human periodontal ligament stem cells(hPDLSCs).Methods The periodontal ligament tissue was scraped from the third molar extracted from the patient with periodontitis,and hPDLSCs were isolated and cultured.The proportions of positive cells of CD34,CD45,CD29,CD90 and CD105 were detected by flow cytometry,and the expression of vimentin and pan-cytokeratin were detected by immunofluo-rescence staining.The cellular luciferase activities of ATF6β-WT and ATF6β-MUT in the miR-1260b mimic+WT/MUT group(transfected with miR-1260b mimic and ATF6β-WT/MUT)and the mimic-NC group(transfected with miR-NC and ATF6β-WT/MUT)were analyzed by the dual luciferase reporter gene assay.In addition,the cells were divided into the miR-1260b mimic group(transfected with miR-1260b mimic alone),the ATF6β-OE group(transfected with the ATF6β overexpression vector alone),the combined group(transfected with miR-1260b mimic and ATF6β overexpression vector simultaneously),and the NC group(transfected with empty vector).Alizarin red S staining and alkaline phosphatase staining were performed on hPDLSCs in the NC group,the miR-1260b mimic group,the ATF6β-OE group and the combined group.Meanwhile,the mRNA expression levels of miR-1260b,ATF6β,Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2),osteocalcin(OCN),and osteopontin(OPN)in each group of cells were detected by qRT-PCR.The protein expressions of glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78),C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP),and protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase(PERK)in each group of cells were detected by Western blot.Results The flow cytometry detection showed that CD29,CD90 and CD105 on the surface of the isolated and cultured cells were positive,while CD34 and CD45 were negative.Immunofluorescence staining showed that vimentin in the cells was positive and pan-cytokeratin was negative,which was in line with the characteristics of hPDLSCs.Luciferase assay showed that miR-1260b mimic could significantly reduce the luciferase activity of ATF6β-WT(P<0.05),but had no significant effect on the luciferase activity of ATF6β-MUT(P>0.05).After alizarin red S staining,the staining of hPDLSCs gradually deepened after 3 days,5 days and 7 days of culture,suggesting an enhanced osteogenic differentiation ability.With the enhancement of osteogenic differentiation ability of hPDLSCs,the expression of miR-1260b in the cells showed a gradually increasing trend,while the mRNA and protein expression levels of ATF6β showed a gradually decreasing trend(P<0.05).The results of alizarin red S staining and alkaline phosphatase staining showed that the proportions of positive area in the miR-1260b mimic group were higher than those in the NC group(P<0.05),while the proportions of positive area in the ATF6β-OE group and the combined group were lower than those in the NC group(P<0.05).The mRNA and protein levels of ATF6β in the miR-1260b mimic group were lower than those in the NC group(P<0.05),while the mRNA and protein levels of ATF6β in the ATF6β-OE group and the combined group were higher than those in the NC group(P<0.05).The mRNA levels of Runx2,OCN and OPN in the miR-1260b mimic group were significantly higher than those in the NC group(P<0.05).The mRNA levels of Runx2,OCN and OPN in the ATF6β-OE group and the combined group were significantly lower than those in the NC group(P<0.05).The protein expression levels of GRP78,CHOP and PERK in the miR-1260b mimic group were significantly lower than those in the NC group(P<0.05).The protein expression levels of GRP78,CHOP and PERK in the ATF6β-OE group and the combined group were significantly higher than those in the NC group(P<0.05).Conclusion miR-1260b can inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress level and promote osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs by targeting ATF6β.

AIM To investigate the ameliorative effects of Compound Fufangteng Mixture(CFM)on cyclophosphamide(CTX)-induced immunosuppression in mice.METHODS Forty-eight male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the blank control group,the model group,the levamisole hydrochloride group(40 mg/kg)and the low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose CFM groups(3.75,7.5,10 g/kg),with 8 mice in each group,and given respective intervention orally once daily for 14 days.On the 5th to 7th day of administration,with the blank control group given normal saline intraperitoneally,the other groups underwent intraperitoneal CTX injections(80 mg/kg).24 hours after the last administration,organ indices of thymus and spleen were calculated;splenic histopathological alterations were assessed by HE staining;serum levels of IL-2,IL-6 and IgG were quantified using ELISA;splenic CD4+,CD8+T lymphocytes,alongside CD86+and CD206+macrophages populations were analyzed by flow cytometry;and splenic expression of CD4,CD8 and F4/80 was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS In CTX-treated mice,CFM administration mitigated body weight loss;enhanced thymus weight and thymic index;ameliorated splenic immune cell populations,elevated serum levels of cytokines IL-2,IL-6 and IgG in serum;and upregulated splenic levels of CD45+CD3+T lymphocytes and F4/80+CD11b+macrophages,alongside increasing the expression of CD4,CD8 and F4/80 surface markers.CONCLUSION CFM alleviates CTX-induced immunosuppression state in mice by modulating immune cells,restoring immune function and enhancing anti-inflammatory and tissue repair capabilities.

Objective To propose a low-dose CT image denoising method based on an improved Corediff model to recover the detailed features of the image and enhance the image quality.Methods An RS-Corediff model was established by modifying the key component U-Net network of the Corediff model.Firstly,the residual module was introduced in the network input stage for feature extraction;secondly,a new downsampling module was designed in the U-Net network encoder,which learned the semantic information of the feature map by convolution and maintained the learning state during the downsampling process so as to fully extract the image features;thirdly,the feature splicing processing was used to further enhance the learning effect during the upsampling process of the U-Net network decoder;finally,the convolutional kernel size was modified to adjust the sensory field during the convolutional process of the whole U-Net network structure so as to obtain rich features.The RS-Corediff model was compared with the residual encoder-decoder convolutional neural network(RED-CNN)model and the Corediff model on the public dataset AAPM 2016 in order to verify its effectiveness for low-dose CT image denoising.Results The RS-Corediff model gained advantages over the RED-CNN and Corediff models with a peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)of 41.269 8,structural similarity(SSIM)of 0.953 4 and root mean square error(RMSE)of 17.568 7.Conclusion The proposed method effectively preserves the texture and details of low-dose CT images during the denoising process to improve the overall quality of the images.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(5):9-13]

Objective To investigate the association between polymorphisms at rs1044122 of the metalloprotease12(ADAM12)gene and rs1553005 of the calcitionin related peptide alpha(CALCA)gene and disease susceptibility in patients with knee osteoarthritisc(KOA).Methods A total of 188 KOA patients admitted to the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected as the study objects.Another 100 healthy subjects in the same hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The polymorphisms of ADAM12 rs1044122 and CALCA rs1553005 were analyzed by PCR+gel imaging system.The frequency distribution of alleles and genotypes was compared between control group and KOA group.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between ADAM12 rs1044122 and CALCA rs1553005 and susceptibility to KOA under three genetic models(co-dominant,dominant and recessive).Results The genotypes of ADAM12 rs1044122 and CALCA rs1553005 in control group and KOA group were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law(all P>0.05),indicating population representation.Compared with the control group,the allele C frequency(41.49%vs 32.00%)of ADAM12 rs1044122 and the allele C(42.55%vs 30.00%)and genotype CC(18.08%vs 9.00%)frequencies of CALCA rs1553005 in KOA group were significantly increased,with statistical significance(χ2=4.980,8.715,8.631,all P<0.05).Logistic regression model showed that in the co-dominant model(AA vs CC)of ADAM12 rs1044122,the risk of KOA occurrence in CC genotype was significantly higher than that in AA genotype(OR=1.656,P<0.05).In the dominant model(AC+CC vs AA),the risk of developing KOA was higher in patients with C allele than in patients with A allele(OR=1.458,P<0.05).Under the codominant model(GG vs CC)of CALCA rs1553005,the risk of KOA in CC genotype was significantly higher than that in GG genotype(OR=1.643,P<0.05).Under the dominant model(GC+CC vs GG)and recessive model(GC+GG vs CC),the risk of developing KOA with C allele was significantly higher than that with G allele(OR=1.491,0.795,all P<0.05).Conclusion ADAM12 gene rs1044122 allele C and CALCA gene rs1553005 allele C and genotype CC increased the risk of KOA.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P＜0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P＞0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.

Nitrogen dioxide(NO 2)is a prevalent air pollutant that poses significant threats to the environment and human health,emphasizing the urgent need for high-performance NO 2 sensors for effective environmental monitoring at room temperature.Sensors based on metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising candidates for gas detection at room temperature,but their long-term stability remains a major challenge.In this study,a methylamine thiocyanate(MT)-doped FA 0.8Cs 0.2PbI 2Br(PVK)gas sensor(MT-PVK)was prepared using a simple one-step spin-coating method and ethyl acetate(EA)anti-solvent extraction technique.The crystalline structure,chemical composition,and particle morphology of the MT-PVK thin film were characterized.The MT-PVK thin film was then utilized as a gas sensor for NO 2 detection at room temperature.The results demonstrated that the sensor exhibited outstanding selectivity and reversibility at low concentrations of NO 2 gas,with a detection limit as low as 33 ppb(10-9,nL/L).For 10 ppm(10-6,μL/L)NO 2,the sensor showed rapid response and recovery time of only 1.6 s and 27 s,outperforming most traditional metal oxide NO 2 sensors.Furthermore,compared to the original PVK,the MT molecules significantly enhanced the structural and sensing stability of the MT-PVK sensor under high humidity conditions(55%±5%).These findings suggested that MT-doped FA 0.8Cs 0.2PbI 2Br perovskite gas sensors offered a promising pathway for the development of rapid-response gas sensing technologies suitable for room temperature operation.

Objective:To explore the possibility of using a inferior gluteal artery perforator flap (IGAPF) for breast reconstruction in the patient who did not have suitable donor site in back and abdomen.Methods:In November 2024, a 25-year-old unmarried and childless woman with right breast cancer received immediate right breast reconstruction by a right free IGAPF after modified right mastectomy in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University. The locations of perforators were confirmed by both Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and portable Doppler blood flow detector before surgery. The IGAPF was designed to take the inferior gluteal wrinkle as the lower edge, the axis of the flap was parallel to the inferior gluteal wrinkle, and the width of the flap was estimated where the incision could be directly closed. The size of right IGAPF was 6.0 cm×19.0 cm. Sharp dissection was performed between the sarcolemma and muscle fibres of gluteus, then the perforators were dissected along the direction of muscle fibres of gluteus. The vascular pedicle was kept at about 8.0 cm in length. The diameter of artery was about 2.0 mm and that for the veins was about 1.5 mm. End-to-end anastomoses with the right thoracodorsal artery and vein were successfully carried out. The donor site was directly closed, and it was hidden in the inferior gluteal wrinkle. Postoperative outpatient clinical review was made.Results:Pathological examination reported: an invasive carcinoma of right breast, axillary lymph node metastasis (2/10). The patient recovered well and the flap survived without any complication, i.e. ischemic necrosis, infection and haematoma. The patient was off-bed at 3 days and discharged at 13 days after surgery. At the 40 days of postoperative follow-up, the patient achieved a good recovery and the lower limb activity was not affected by the surgery. The patient was satisfied with the reconstructed breast and donor site recovery. The patient followed with scheduled chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy. The volume of reconstructed breast was smaller than the other breast, of which the patient was fully informed before the surgery.Conclusion:A free IGAPF provides an alternative donor sites for achieving a breast reconstruction due to the reliable pedicle vessels and invisible donor scars.
