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.

With the growing emphasis on maternal and child oral health, the significance of managing oral health across preconception, pregnancy, and infancy stages has become increasingly apparent. Oral health challenges extend beyond affecting maternal well-being, exerting profound influences on fetal and neonatal oral development as well as immune system maturation. This expert consensus paper, developed using a modified Delphi method, reviews current research and provides recommendations on maternal and child oral health management. It underscores the critical role of comprehensive oral assessments prior to conception, diligent oral health management throughout pregnancy, and meticulous oral hygiene practices during infancy. Effective strategies should be seamlessly integrated across the life course, encompassing preconception oral assessments, systematic dental care during pregnancy, and routine infant oral hygiene. Collaborative efforts among pediatric dentists, maternal and child health workers, and obstetricians are crucial to improving outcomes and fostering clinical research, contributing to evidence-based health management strategies.

Purpose: It was aimed to clarify the casual connection between prostate cancer (PCa) and arthritis by utilizing two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Materials and Methods: This study utilized NHANES data. Through association analysis and risk stratification analysis, the association between arthritis and PCa were examined. MR analysis was performed to elucidate the causal relationship between arthritis and PCa. Sensitivity analysis and Steiger directionality test confirmed the reliability of the MR analysis results. Results: A total of 23,608 (PCa:controls=413:23,195) participants after a sample exclusion and variable definition process were screened in NHANES database. Adjustments across three diverse models consistently revealed a notable influence of arthritis on PCa progression. Arthritis was identified as a risk factor for PCa (odds ratio [OR] 1.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36–2.62, p<0.001). Subsequent analysis indicated that in the arthritis-adjusted model with multiple covariates, the area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.94. The inverse variance weighting method of MR analysis showed a causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and PCa (OR 1.090, 95% CI 1.053–1.128, p<0.001) as well as osteoar-thritis and PCa (OR 1.002, 95% CI 1.001–1.004, p=0.002). This suggested that RA and osteoarthritis were risk factors for PCa. The heterogeneity (p>0.05), horizontal pleiotropy (p>0.05), leave-one-out and Steiger test confirmed reliability of MR results. Conclusions NHANES database and MR analyses identified arthritis as a risk factor for PCa, offering fresh avenues for preventive and therapeutic approaches.

Objective:To establish a rapid method for determination of iodine in water by sodium persulfate oxidation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).Methods:A 100 μl of 30% sodium persulfate solution was added to 10 ml of water sample, followed by reaction at room temperature for 30 min. A 50 μg/L mixed solution containing indium and 8 other elements was used as the internal standard solution. The flow ratio of the internal standard solution to the test solution was 1∶7. The iodine in water was determined by ICP-MS. The linear range, detection limit, accuracy, precision, and anti-interference ability of the method were evaluated.Results:Iodine in water could be determined and had a good linear relationship within the range of 0 - 100 μg/L, with a correlation coefficient ( r) of ≥0.999 9. The detection limits of potassium iodate and potassium iodide were 0.07 and 0.08 μg/L, respectively, and the quantitation limits were 0.24 and 0.26 μg/L, respectively. The low, medium, and high concentration spiked recovery rates of six substrate water samples (source water, treated water, end-use water, packaged drinking water, packaged mineral water, and natural mineral water) ranged from 94.0% to 104.0%, with a relative standard deviations ( RSD) ranged from 0.5% to 2.8%. Interference test confirmed that 29 elements (at 1.00 mg/L) did not affect the determination of iodine at 6.00 μg/L. The determination results of the standard substance (GBW09114K) for iodine content in water were all within the standard range (56.0 - 68.0 μg/L), with an RSD of 0.6%. Conclusions:A method for rapid determination of iodine in water by the sodium persulfate oxidation ICP-MS method is successfully established. This method is easy to operate, has high sensitivity and good accuracy, and is suitable for batch analysis of iodine in drinking water and mineral water.

Catheter-based percutaneous coronary intervention has become a crucial approach for treating obstructive coronary artery disease and is widely applied in clinical practice.Although the new generation of drug-eluting stents(DES)has significantly reduced the incidence of post-procedur-al restenosis and improved long-term clinical outcomes,in-stent restenosis(ISR)remains one of the key challenges affecting the long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention.Recent studies have demonstrated that DES still have certain inherent limitations.From the metallic stent platform,drug coating to the polymer carrier,each component may exert varying degrees of biological effects on the vascular intima.Optical coherence tomography(OCT),as a high-resolution intravascular imaging technique,has shown significant value in the mechanism research,etiological diagnosis,and clinical classification of ISR.It can clearly identify the tissue composition and morphological characteristics of ISR,providing a precise basis for the formulation of individualized treatment strategies.This review aimed to systematically search the existing literature,comprehensively review the clinical and patho-logical features of ISR after DES implantation,focus on the OCT-based ISR classification system,and summarize the current treatment strategies and latest advances for ISR.

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.
