Objective: To explore the association between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age, providing scientific evidences for the prevention and control of childhood obesity. Methods: A total of 2 432 mother-child pairs with maternal lipid tests during pregnancy and offspring s physical growth data at 3 years of age were included from the Borin in Guangzhou Cohort Study up to September 2021. Lipid indicators, including high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC), were measured at 13-19 +6 weeks (mid pregnancy) and 32-39 +6 weeks (late pregnancy). Children s body mass index (BMI) Z score were calculated according to the World Health Organization s growth standards for children under 5 years old. The lipid Z score were divided into four quartiles: Q 1, Q 2, Q 3 and Q 4. Linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and offspring’s BMI Z score at 3 years of age. Poisson regression with a robust error variance was employed to evaluate the association between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and the at risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age, after adjusting for maternal age at conception, education level, parity, pre pregnancy BMI and gestational diabetes mellitus. Results: There was a statistically significnt difference in the detection rate of overweight and obesity risk among children with different mothers s pre pregnancy BMI ( χ 2=22.85, P <0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that TG levels in late pregnancy were positively related to BMI Z score ( β=0.10, 95%CI=0.02-0.18, P <0.05). Poisson regression with a robust error variance indicated that, compared with the Q 1 group of TC, the Q 4 group of TC in mid pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age ( RR=1.59, 95%CI =1.04-2.44); compared with the Q 1 group of TG, the Q 4 group of TG during late pregnancy increased the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age ( RR=1.79, 95%CI =1.02-3.12) (both P <0.05). Conclusions Maternal serum TC level during mid pregnancy can increase the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age. Maternal serum TG levels during late pregnancy is positively correlated with BMI and the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age.

Objective To assess the clinical value of a novel surgical technique—Tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with percutaneous suspension technique via balance-shaped sternal elevation device in the resection of anterior mediastinal masses. Methods Patients who underwent tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery via balance-shaped sternal elevation device in anterior mediastinal masses process at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from March to April 2025 were included, and their clinical data were analyzed. Results A total of 4 patients were included, with 2 males and 2 females, aged 58-75 years. The diameter of the tumor was 2.5-3.0 cm. The operation time was 60.0-150.0 min, intraoperative blood loss was 5-10 mL, pain score on the 3rd day after surgery was 0 points, and postoperative hospital stay was 2-3 days. All patients achieved complete resection of the masses and thymus without perioperative complications. Conclusion The tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with percutaneous suspension technique via balance-shaped sternal elevation device technique optimizes surgical visualization and instrument maneuverability while avoiding complications related to conventional anesthesia and tubing, thereby markedly enhancing the minimally invasive profile of anterior mediastinal masses resections. In addition to maintaining procedural safety, this approach effectively reduces postoperative pain and accelerates patient recovery, highlighting its potential for widespread clinical adoption.

Objective:To explore high-risk sexual behaviors of HIV/AIDS and related factors in young students in Guangzhou.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 5 different types of Guangzhou colleges by convenience sampling with minimum number of classes per grade and 600 samples per school from September to November 2021. The R 4.2.2 software was used to consolidate databases. Simultaneously, a logistic regression model and a decision tree algorithm model, stratifying by whether sexual behaviors had occurred before, were constructed. In each layer, the prediction performance of the two models was evaluated through area under receiver operating characteristic and the confusion matrix, and then the model with high prediction performance was retained.Results:A total of 7 346 students were surveyed. The proportion of the respondents reporting sexual experience were 9.08% (667/7 346), in whom 26.24% (175/667) had risky sexual activity in the past year. The decision tree algorithm model performs well in predicting whether high-risk sexual behaviors have occurred in the past year. When the complexity parameter value is 0.018, and nsplit reaches 4, which means there are 5 leaf nodes in the model, the cross error of the tree will be the smallest. The first best grouping variable in the decision tree was whether to use condoms throughout the first sexual behavior. If condoms were used at their sexual debut, but homosexual practices have occurred in the past year, the probability of risky sexual behavior will increase. If homosexual practices have not occurred in the past year, but the age of sexual debut was below 18 years old while the period of HIV education was after high school, the probability of risk sexual behavior will also increase.Conclusions:AIDS-related risky behaviors of young students still deserved attention. The experience of sexual debut and whether AIDS-related health education has been received before the sexual debut were significant predictors for the occurrence of high-risk sexual behavior. The decision tree algorithm model has particular applicability for predicting and screening potential risk populations.

Cardiovascular diseases is the leading cause of threat to human life and health worldwide. Early risk assessment, timely diagnosis, and prognosis evaluation are critical to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Currently, the evaluation of diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases mainly relies on imaging examinations such as coronary CT and coronary angiography, which are expensive, time-consuming, partly invasive, and require high professional competence of the operator, making it difficult to promote in the community or in areas where medical resources are scarce. The fundus microcirculation is a part of the human microcirculation and has similar embryological origins and physiopathological features to cardiovascular circulation. Several studies have revealed fundus imaging biomarkers associated with cardiovascular diseases, and developed and validated intelligent diagnosis and treatment models for cardiovascular diseases based on fundus imaging data. Fundus imaging is expected to be an important adjunct to cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment given its noninvasive and convenient nature. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current research status, challenges, and future prospects of the application of artificial intelligence based on multimodal fundus imaging data in cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the risk perception for risky behavior of HIV/AIDS infection among young students and to analyze the related influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 5 different types of Guangzhou colleges from September to November 2021, in which convenience sampling and a minimum number of classes per grade and 600 samples per school were used according to the national unity program. Disordered multi-classification logistic regression was used to construct a risk perception model and analyze influencing factors in different risk perception levels.Results:A total of 7 346 young students were surveyed, and most rated themselves at low risk of HIV/AIDS infections (90.58%, 6 654/7 346). A total of 89.10% (6 545/7 346) of subjects' perception of their HIV/AIDS infection risk was consistent with their risk behavior, while 10.90% (801/7 346) was inconsistent. Among those inconsistent subjects, 19.10% (153/801) showed underestimating their risk , while 80.90% (648/801) seen overestimating their risk. Disordered multi-classification logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for other factors, compared with the non-sexual group, respondents whose first sex age under 18 had a higher rate of underestimating their risk of infection ( OR=129.39, 95% CI: 73.28-228.48), as well as a higher rate of overestimated their risk of infection ( OR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.04-2.99). First sexual intercourse at age 18 or older was a risk factor for underestimating risk ( OR=70.56, 95% CI: 42.72-116.53), but was not statistically associated with overestimating risk. Being female, other school type, non-heterosexual orientation, and self-rated HIV-related knowledge as fair or no knowledge were risk factors for overestimating risk but were not statistically associated with underestimating risk. Conclusions:Overall, young students in universities of Guangzhou have a good risk perception of HIV/AIDS infection. Individual factors, education factors and sexual experience will influence students' risk perception of HIV/AIDS infection. Raising the awareness rate of HIV/AIDS knowledge and delaying the age of first sexual intercourse will improve the risk perception ability of young students.

Objective To evaluate the safety of immediate breast reconstruction using deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps in the patients after neoadjuvant treatment. Methods From January 2019 to February 2021, the data of patients with breast cancer undergoing total mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction using DIEP flap in Comprehensive Breast Health Center, Department of General Surgery, Ruijin Hospital were collected. Comparison of clinicopathological features was done between neoadjuvant treatment group and control group. Univariate analysis was used to compare the rate of surgical complications between two groups. Results A total of 110 patients were enrolled with 23 cases (20.9%) in neoadjuvant treatment group and 87 cases (79.1%) in control group. None of carcinoma in situ (0 vs. 19.5%, P=0.003) and higher pTNM stage (P<0.001) was present in neoadjuvant treatment group compared with those in control group. However, there were no significant differences in the number of flap perforator of DIEP (P=0.472), the proportion of bipedicled flaps (P=0.489), operative time (P=0.651) and hospital length of stay (P=0.275) between two groups. No significant difference was found in the incidence of postoperative complications between two groups. Breast seroma was the most common recipient complication (13.0%, 3 cases) without donor complication in neoadjuvant treatment group. The most common complication was fat necrosis (12.6%, 11 cases) in recipient site and abdominal seroma (3.4%, 3 cases) in donor site of control group. Reoperation was done in one case (4.3%) of neoadjuvant treatment group and 4 cases (4.6%) of control group. DIEP flap necrosis with total flap loss occurred in 2 cases (2.3%) in control group, but none in neoadjuvant treatment group. Conclusions The imme-diate breast reconstruction with epigastric free flap for breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant treatment would be a safe surgical scheme.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of blood donation related self-efficacy on blood donation intention, in order to provide valuable reference for formulating the recruitment and service strategy for blood donors with different demographic characteristics. 【Methods】 A questionnaire was designed based on psychological self-efficacy theory, and respondents in Nanchong city were taken as the research objects. The data of demographic characteristics, blood donation related self-efficacy measurement and blood donation intention measurement of the respondents who were randomly selected by convenient sampling method were collected and analyzed by rank sum test. 【Results】 The number of previous blood donation was significantly correlated with blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention, and there was a strong positive correlation between blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention (r=0.618). There are significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy or blood donation intention of respondents with different blood donation experiences (P<0.05), and respondents who donated blood twice or more showed relatively strong blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention. Significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy or blood donation intention among respondents were noticed in gender, age or education level(P<0.05), and males or 30~39 years old respondents, or respondents with bachelor degree or above have relatively strong blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention. Significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy were noticed among respondents with different occupations (P<0.05), but no significant difference was noticed in blood donation intention (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Blood donation intention can be increased by enhancing the blood donation related self-efficacy of respondents. We can focus on the recruitment of respondents with high self-efficacy in the areas covered by the survey during the practice of blood donor recruitment and service to achieve higher recruitment efficiency. In the meantime, special attention should also be paid to the people with relatively low self-efficacy and high-quality services should be provided t to expand blood donor team. Furthermore, blood donor recruitment and services can be appropriately expanded to the countryside as needed.

Objective:To explore the correlations of micro-calcification load in carotid plaques and plaque vulnerability scores detected by Micropure? ultrasonic technology with 18F-sodium fluoride ( 18F-NaF) uptake ratio (tissue-background ratio [TBR]) in positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). Methods:Baseline data of patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to November 2020 were collected. Carotid arteries of these patients simultaneously positive on Micropure? ultrasound examination and 18F-NaF PET-CT were included. The number of spots in carotid plaques detected by Micropure? ultrasonic technology was defined as load of micro-calcification: they were divided into large number of micro-calcifications group (≥5 spots) and small number of micro-calcifications group (1-4 spots). The scores of carotid plaque vulnerability were evaluated according to carotid atherosclerosis scores in Diagnostic Value of Carotid Atherosclerosis Score for Ischemic Stroke. Correlations of TBR with micro-calcification load and plaque vulnerability scores in these 39 carotid arteries were analyzed. Results:Thirty-nine carotid arteries from 28 patients were enrolled: 24 carotid arteries were classified into the large number of micro-calcifications group and 15 carotid arteries were classified into the small number of micro-calcifications group. TBR of the large number of micro-calcifications group (2.61±0.73) was significantly increased as cpmpared with that of the small number of micro-calcifications group (1.93±0.43, t=-3.657, P=0.001). In the 39 carotid arteries, micro-calcification load was 5(3, 5), while the carotid plaque vulnerability scores were 2 (2, 3); micro-calcification load was positively correlated with TBR (2.35±0.71, r s=0.519, P=0.001), but no correlation was noted between TBR and carotid plaque vulnerability scores ( r s=0.086, P=0.602). Conclusion:Carotid plaque micro-calcification load detected by Micropure? ultrasound examination is associated with 18F-NaF uptake ratio; the larger the micro-calcification load, the more obvious the uptake of 18F-NaF.

Objective:To investigate the effects of of anti tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in adjuvant treatment of strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis.Methods:From February 2011 to August 2016 in Huadu District People′s Hospital Affiliated with Southern Medical University, 122 patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis were selected and were equally divided into the experimental group and control group with 61 cases in each group according to the random draw envelope principle. Conventional surgical resection and anastomosis was used in control group, the postoperative anti TNF-α therapy was given for 2 weeks based on the treatment in control group.Results:All patients completed surgery and there were no serious complications during operation.The postoperative anal exhaust time and symptom remission time in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group: (2.14 ± 0.41) d vs. (6.24 ± 1.28) d and (3.54 ± 0.77) d vs. (6.99 ± 0.91) d ( P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative 14 d complications such as anastomotic leakage, wound infection, anastomotic stenosis and pulmonary infection in the experimental group was 4.9%(3/61), and that of the control group was 18%(11/61), and the incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The postoperative 1d and 7 d serum TNF-α content in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The postoperative 14 d anal function in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group ( P<0.05). MRASP and MSP of postoperative 14 d in experimental group were all significantly higher than those in the control group: (80.24 ± 11.39) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (76.24 ± 12.11) mmHg, (231.98 ± 45.29) mmHg vs. (226.39 ± 41.87) mmHg ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The anti TNF-α in adjuvant treatment of strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis can promote the recovery of clinical symptoms and inhibit the release of TNF-α. It also can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and improve gastrointestinal motility of patients.
