Objective:
To explore the longitudinal associations between dietary macronutrients and lung function in schoolaged children, so as to provide the nutritional research evidence for promoting children s lung health.
Methods:
In November 2021, two primary schools located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province were selected from the Southwest China Childhood Nutrition and Growth (SCCNG) cohort by a stratified cluster random sampling method, enrolling a total of 1 112 school aged children aged 8 to 13 years. At baseline, the dietary and sociodemographic characteristics of the children were assessed. One year later, the forced vital capacity (FVC) of the children was measured and converted into Z scores (FVC- Z ), while the vital capacity index (VCI) was also calculated. Generalized linear regression analysis was employed to examine the associations between dietary macronutrients and lung function, considering interactions with gender and age, followed by stratified analysis.
Results:
After adjusting for confounding factors, the analysis results of the generalized linear regression model showed that the carbohydrate energy ratio was negatively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =-0.02) and VCI ( β =-0.16), while the fat energy ratio showed a positive correlation with FVC- Z ( β =0.03) and VCI ( β =0.23) ( P <0.05). The protein energy ratio was positively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =0.09) and VCI ( β =0.60) specifically in girls ( P <0.05). Additionally, there was an interaction effect of age on the associations between macronutrients and lung function ( P <0.01); in children aged 8-9 and 10-11, the carbohydrate energy supply ratio was negatively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =-0.04, -0.03) and VCI ( β =-0.29, -0.21), and fat energy supply ratio was positively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =0.07, 0.05) and VCI ( β =0.46, 0.32) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
There are age and sex differences in the association of dietary macronutrients with lung function, with a low carbohydrate, high fat diet promoting lung function in children. Additionally, protein intake appears to have a positive influence on the lung function of girls. The early school age period may represent a critical window for dietary interventions aimed at promoting lung health.

Objective:
To understand the impact of left behind experience on the mental health of secondary vocational school students, so as to provide theoretical basis for the psychological health education of secondary vocational school students.
Methods:
From September to December in 2019, a total of 3 401 students from Duyun, Guiding and Pingtang County were selected by multi stage cluster random sampling method. Self designed questionnaire and Symptom Check List-90(SCL-90) were used to investigate mental health status. A total of 1 415 left behind students and 1 415 non left behind students were matched by using propensity score matching (PSM). Wilcoxon test and Logistic regression analysis were conducted.
Results:
Before the matching of propensity score, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of family structure, mother s educational level, family residence,family harmony and children s past health among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=28.17, 52.40, 96.31, 29.75 , 19.10, P <0.05). After the matching, there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of the above variables among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=0.02-4.32, P >0.05). Before the matching of propensity scores, there were significant differences in the scores of 10 dimensions of SCL-90, including somatization (1.67,1.58), interpersonal sensitivity (2.00,1.89), anxiety (1.90,1.70), obsessive compulsive symptoms (2.20, 2.10), depression (2.00, 1.85), hostility (1.83, 1.67), terror (1.85, 1.71), paranoia (1.83, 1.67), psychotic (1.70, 1.60) and other (1.85, 1.71) dimensions among secondary vocational school students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-5.15 to -2.84, P <0.05). After propensity score matching, there were significant differences in scores remained only in three factors for interpersonal sensitivity [(2.00(1.56,2.67),2.00(1.44,2.56)], paranoia [1.83(1.33,2.50),1.83(1.33,2.33)] and psychoticism [1.70(1.30,2.30),1.70(1.20,2.20)] in SCL- 90 among secondary vocational students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-2.45, -2.12, -2.23, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The impact of left behind experience on the mental health of vocational school students is mainly reflected in interpersonal sensitivity, paranoia, and psychoticism, which should be identified as key areas of psychological education for secondary vocational school students.

7.Differences in gut microbiota among primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage consumption
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(3):335-340
Objective:
To explore the differences in the gut microbiota of primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage intake, so as to provide scientific evidence for better identification of health risks in children and the development of targeted health policies.
Methods:
In June 2022, a total of 192 healthy primary school students from Chengdu were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The sugar sweetened beverage intake was assessed through a dietary frequency questionnaire. Based on the median daily sugar sweetened beverage intake, primary school students were categorized into a low intake group ( n =96) and a high intake group ( n =96). The gut microbiota in fresh fecal samples from the two groups of primary school students was analyzed using 16S rRNA high throughput sequencing, and the diversity and community structure differences in the gut microbiota were compared.
Results:
Children in the low intake group had a sugar sweetened beverage intake of (21.3±1.6) mL/d, while the high intake group had an intake of (269.6±37.3) mL/d. Diversity analysis results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the low intake and the high intake group in terms of α diversity metrics: Observed_otus index [298.50 (259.75, 342.25), 305.50 (244.25, 367.75)], Goods_coverage index [1.00 (1.00, 1.00), 1.00 (1.00, 1.00)], Chao index [304.18 (260.75, 348.78), 305.88 (245.68, 370.88)], Shannon index [5.88 (5.29, 6.45), 5.71 (4.89, 6.28)] and Simpson index [0.95 (0.91, 0.97), 0.94 (0.88, 0.97)] ( Z =-0.64, -0.76, -0.54, -1.76, -1.67, P >0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was observed in β diversity between the two groups ( R 2=0.006, P >0.05). At the genus level, the abundance of Blautia [0.033 (0.018, 0.055)] and Fusicatenibacter [0.009 (0.005, 0.015)] were higher in the low intake group compared to the high intake group [0.024 (0.013, 0.041),0.006 (0.003, 0.011)]and differences were statistically significant ( Z =-2.52, -2.81, P <0.05). LEfSe analysis highlighted intergroup differences primarily in Blautia, Fusicatenibacter and Sarcina( LDA= 3.56,3.12,3.53, P <0.05).
Conclusions
There is no significant difference in the diversity and overall structure of the gut microbiota in primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage intake. However, there are species variations at the genus level. The information can serve as a scientific basis for identifying health risks in primary school students and formulating targeted health strategies.

ObjectiveTo explore the distribution characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in postoperative gastric cancer patients, and to analyse the factors associated with yang deficiency syndrome and its severity. MethodsTotally, 173 patients who underwent postoperative gastric cancer surgery and were treated in four centers nationwide from February 22, 2022 to March 21, 2023, were enrolled. General information and TCM syndromes were collected, and Diagnostic Scale for Yang Deficiency Syndrome in Gastric Malignancies was filled in. The frequency of TCM syndromes after gastric cancer surgery was analyzed, and univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed on the related factors of yang deficiency syndrome versus non-yang deficiency syndrome and between different severity of yang deficiency syndrome. ResultsThe most common syndrome after gastric cancer surgery was qi deficiency (95 cases, 54.91%), followed by yang deficiency (87 cases, 50.29%). Patients with yang deficiency syndrome were often suffered from qi deficiency, qi stagnation, and phlegm dampness syndrome. Comparing yang deficiency syndrome with non-yang deficiency syndrome, univariate analysis showed that history of alcohol consumption, pathological stage, degree of differentiation, Lauren grade, signet ring cell carcinoma, vascular cancer thrombus, and nerve invasion were statistically significant (P<0.05); and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that history of alcohol consumption, signet ring cell carcinoma, pathological stage Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and vascular cancer thrombus may be correlated with yang deficiency syndrome in postoperative gastric cancer patients (P<0.05). The univariate analysis showed that age, pathological stage, precancerous lesions, and body mass index grade were significantly different when compared between mild and severe yang deficiency syndrome (P<0.05); multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, low body weight, and pathological stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ might be correlated with severe yang deficiency syndrome after gastric cancer surgery (P<0.05). ConclusionQi deficiency and yang deficiency are common TCM syndromes in postoperative patients with gastric cancer. Alcohol consumption history, pathological staging (stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ), signet ring cell carcinoma, and the presence of vascular cancer thrombus may be correlated with the occurrence of yang deficiency syndrome, and higher age, low body weight, and pathological staging (stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ) may be the correlates of severe yang deficiency syndrome.

Biological hydroxyapatite(BHA)is widely used in the treatment of clinical bone defects due to its good biocompatibility and osteoconductivity.The clinical application of mateiral size is based on the principle of bone defect area adaptation,which contributes to diversity of BHA sizes.However,different sizes correspond to different hierarchi-cal levels of bone biomimicry.As the size changes,the bone biomimicry hierarchy evolves accordingly and influences the process of bone repair and regeneration through osteo-coagulo-immunomodulation,leading to unstable bone graft outcomes.Therefore,this paper reviews the size effect of clinical BHA,analyzes the multilevel structure of natural bone,proposes the evolution of bone biomimetic hierarchy triggered by the size of BHA,and further analyzes the size-media-ted osteo-coagulo-immunomodulation.Based on the hierarchical levels of bone and its osteo-coagulo-immunomodula-tion effect,we provide a new understanding of the biolog-ical principle of the size effect of biomaterials and a theo-retical basis for the basic research and clinical application of different size BHA materials.
