bjective To analyze the growth trends of height and weight among primary and secondary school students, and explore the developmental characteristics and gender differences at different age groups, and to provide a scientific basis for adolescent health policy formulation. Methods Based on 675 175 health examination records of 227 978 students aged 6-17 years in Shiyan City from 2015 to 2024, a logistic growth model was employed to fit the curves of height and weight changes with age. Results From 2015 to 2024, height and weight showed steady increases across all age groups, exhibiting typical sigmoidal growth patterns. The growth rates varied across age groups: the younger age group (6-9 years) showed a moderate growth (annual height increase of 0.5-1.0 cm, weight increase of 0.03-0.06 kg/year), while the older age group (10-17 years) demonstrated a significant growth (annual height increase of 1.5-2.0 cm, weight increase of 0.22-0.38 kg/year). The growth rate curves displayed a unimodal distribution. The growth inflection points of male students occurred later than that of female students (height inflection point: 9.87 years for males vs. 8.98 years for females; weight inflection point: 10.70 years for males vs. 9.99 years for females). Female students experienced a more concentrated but shorter period of growth and development. The peak height growth rate was 7.40 cm/year at age 9 for females and 7.09 cm/year at age 10 for males, while the peak weight growth rate was 5.04 kg/year at age 10 for females and 5.27 kg/year at age 11 for males. Conclusion The physical development of primary and secondary school students in Shiyan City follows a logistic growth pattern, with significant gender differences and characteristics of adolescent growth spurts. Female students exhibit an earlier and more concentrated growth process.

Objectives:To explore the predictive value of residual Murray's law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)on long-term vessel-oriented composite endpoints(VoCE).Methods:This retrospective study included 3 510 patients from the FAVOR Ⅲ China trial.Offline residual μQFR analysis was performed on all vessels(diameter≥2.5 mm)with 50%-90%stenotic lesions.Patients were stratified into high-,intermediate-,and low-risk groups based on residual μQFR tertiles.The primary endpoint was 3-year VoCE,defined as a composite of cardiac death related to the target vessel,target vessel-related spontaneous myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.Results:Offline analysis was performed on 5 256 vessels from 3 510 patients.The mean residual μQFR was 0.92±0.75.The high-risk group(residual μQFR≤0.91)with 1 554 patients(1 958 vessels);the intermediate-risk group(residual μQFR 0.92-0.96)with 1 211 patients(1 906 vessels);and the low-risk group(residual μQFR>0.96)with 745 patients(1 392 vessels).Over 3-year follow-up,VoCE occurred in 227 vessels(4.3%).The 3-year VoCE incidence was significantly higher in the high-risk group compared to the intermediate-and low-risk groups(6.2%vs.4.1%vs.2.5%,log-rank P<0.001),primarily driven by ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization(5.0%vs.3.0%vs.1.6%,log-rank P<0.001).Hypertension(OR=0.83,95%CI:0.72-0.96),hypercholesterolemia(OR=0.84,95%CI:0.73-0.97),bifurcation lesions(OR=0.72,95%CI:0.63-0.83),moderate/severe calcification(OR=0.70,95%CI:0.57-0.84),and tandem lesions(OR=0.59,95%CI:0.47-0.75)were independent predictors of lower residual μQFR values.Conclusions:Lower residual μQFR is significantly associated with increased VoCE risk during the 3-year follow up period.

Aim To study the therapeutic effect of al-licin on senna-induced diarrhea in mice and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods Forty-eight C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups:control,model,loperamide positive control group(2 mg·kg-1),allicin low-dose group(6 mg·kg-1),allicin medium-dose group(12 mg·kg-1)and allicin high-dose group(18 mg·kg-1).Except for the con-trol group,the diarrhea model was induced in the other groups by intragastric administration of senna leaf ex-tract.After drug administration,several diarrhea indi-ces were measured:the rate of loose stools,diarrhea index,accumulated frequency of loose stools at differ-ent time points within 5 hours,and small intestine pro-pelling rate.Serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were de-tected by ELISA.Serum NO content was determined u-sing the Griess method.The activities of SOD and CAT,as well as MDA content in the ileum and colon,were measured.The pathological changes and the ex-pression of mRNA related to intestinal barrier proteins in the ileum and colon were evaluated using HE stai-ning and RT-qPCR.Results Allicin improved diar-rhea symptoms in mice induced by senna leaf.It re-duced the rate of loose stools,diarrhea index,cumula-tive number of loose stools in five hours,and the intes-tinal propulsion rate.Allicin also protected the intesti-nal mucosa,decreased serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels,and lowered MDA content in the intestines.It in-creased serum NO levels and enhanced SOD and CAT activities in the intestines.Additionally,allicin upreg-ulated the mRNA expression of AQP1,AQP4,and ZO-1 in intestinal tissues.Conclusions Allicin has a significant therapeutic effect on senna-induced diarrhea in mice.The underlying molecular mechanisms may involve anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects,in-creased NO content,and upregulation of mRNA ex-pression of aquaporins and tight-junction proteins.

Objective:Observation of the therapeutic effect of Yugu Ju detergent combined with fusidic acid cream on the repair of wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus,as well as its impact on serum inflammatory markers TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,oxidative stress markers MDA,ROS,SOD and Nrf2 levels.Methods:96 patients with skin defects and SA U infection caused by trauma admitted to the hospital from June 2021 to December 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group.Both groups were treated with debridement,while the control group was treated with external application of fusidic acid cream.The treatment group received external washing with Yugu Ju detergent in addition to the control group.One course of treatment lasted for 7 days,with three consecutive courses of treatment.Observe the wound healing rate,bacterial clearance rate,and changes in TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,SOD,MDA,ROS,and Nrf2 before and after treatment to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety.Results:The total clinical effective rate of the observation group after treatment was 93.75％(45/48),while that of the control group was 75％(36/48).The observation group was significantly better than the control group(P＜0.05);The wound healing rate and bacterial clearance rate of the observation group at each time point after treatment were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05);After treatment,the Nrf2 and SOD values in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,while the TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,MDA,and ROS values were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).No adverse reactions occurred during the treatment of both groups.Conclusion:The combination of Yugu Ju detergent and Fusidic acid cream can inhibit SA U and promote the healing of infectious wounds,which may be related to the activation of Nrf2 expression to inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory response.It is safe and effective,and worthy of promotion and application.

Objective To verify the applicability of a pig STR multiplex amplification system for detecting processed foods containing pork and their digestive samples,and to evaluate its potential in food safety and forensic biological evidence analysis.Methods DNA profiles were obtained using the pig STR amplification system from food samples with different levels of processing(raw pork,boiled pork,fried pork,and sausage)and from digestive samples(rat gastric contents).The influence of processing methods on DNA integrity was assessed.The uniformity of large-scale processed ham products,the consistency of DNA profiles from different parts of the same sample,and the DNA degradation patterns after rat digestion were examined.Results STR profiling of pig DNA was successful in all tested samples.Short fragments showed high amplification stability,while long fragment signals weakened with increasing processing complexity.In processed ham products,DNA profiles were consistent across all sampled parts,with fragment drift within±0.5 bp.Analysis of rat gastric contents showed slight DNA degradation within 2 hours;after 3 hours,long fragment signals weakened,and after 4 hours,some loci signals were lost.Conclusion The pig STR multiplex amplification system exhibits excellent performance in detecting processed pork products and their digestive samples.It can meet the requirements of food traceability and forensic biological evidence analysis for processed pork,providing new insights for the advancement of forensic testing techniques in this field.

Aim To explore the mechanism of the syn-ergistic effect of the ferroptosis inducer erastin com-bined with shikonin in promoting ferroptosis in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts(HSFBs).Methods Hypertrophic scar tissues provided by the General Hos-pital of Ningxia Medical University were collected,and HSFBs were extracted.HSFBs were identified by HE staining and immunofluorescence.The inhibitory rates of Era and SHK on HSFBs at different concentrations were detected by CCK-8 assay,and the IC50 value was calculated.CompuSyn software was used to calculate the co-use index(CI).Control group,Erastin(Era)group,shikonin(SHK)group and Era+SHK group were set up,and the number and morphological chan-ges of cells were observed after 24 hours of interven-tion.The ability of cell migration and invasion was de-tected by scratch test and Transwell test.The changes of malondialdehyde(MDA),total iron ion and reactive oxygen species(ROS)were detected by corresponding biochemical kits.The expressions of collagen I,α-SMA and GOT1,SLC7A11,GPX4 and FTH1 were detected by Western blot.Results The IC50 value of Era and SHK of primary HSFBs was 2.22 μmol·L-1 and 3.94μmol·L-1 respectively,which was used as the single drug concentration for subsequent experiments.The CompuSyn software was employed to calculate the CI value when the two drugs were used in combination,and the concentrations corresponding to CI=0.39597(Era:1.2 μmol·L-1+SHK:1.5 μmol·L-1)were selected as subsequent combination concentrations(Because when CI was equal to 0.395 97,the concen-tration of each drug was lower than the concentration of single drug,and the inhibition rate of combined drug was greater than 50％).Compared with the monother-apy group,the number of HSFBs in the SHK+Era group was significantly reduced,cell membrane showed breakage and vesiculation,cell wrinkling became smal-ler,and cytoplasm was concentrated.The migration and invasion ability of HSFBs in the SHK+Era group were obviously weakened(P＜0.05),and the expres-sion of fibrosis-related proteins collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA was reduced(P＜0.05);the contents of MDA,total i-ron ions,and ROS in HSFBs of the SHK+Era group increased(P＜0.05),and the protein expression lev-els of SLC7A11,GOT1,GPX4,and FTH1 further de-creased(P＜0.05).Conclusions Erastin in combi-nation with shikonin can synergistically inhibit the pro-liferation,migration and fibrosis levels of HSFBs.The mechanism may be that erastin enhances the inhibition of shikotin on GOT1,increases the levels of cellular i-ron ions,ROS,and lipid peroxides,thereby promoting ferroptosis in HSFBs.

Objective To investigate the short-and long-term prognoses and the risk factors affecting"text-book outcome"(TO)after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD)for pancreatic ductal adenocar-cinoma(PDAC).Methods The clinical and follow-up data of patients diagnosed with PDAC and treated with LPD from January 2019 to Dec-ember 2022 were retrospectively anal-yzed.The prognosis was compared bet-ween TO and non-TO groups,and uni-variate and multivariate logistic regre-ssion analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors for TO.Results A total of 284 patients were enrolled in this study,including 185 cases in the TO group and 99 cases in the non-TO group.The 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival(OS)rates of the TO and non-TO groups with PDAC were 87.3%vs.85.9%,52.5%vs.38.4%,and 18.0%vs.4.5%,respectively(P=0.020);the recurrence-free survival(RFS)rates were 74.1%vs.65.7%,27.1%vs.21.0%,and 10.0%vs.0%,respectively(P=0.042).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that operation time>360 min(OR=0.561,95%CI:0.321-0.979,P=0.042),intraoperative blood loss>400 ml(OR=0.392,95%CI:0.175-0.879,P=0.023),hard or tough texture of pancreas(OR=2.240,95%CI:1.247-4.022,P=0.007),and main pancreatic duct dia-meter>3 mm(OR=1.931,95%CI:1.126-3.312,P=0.017)were independent prognostic factors for TO.Conclusion After the learning curve,more than 60%of patients with PDAC can achieve TO after LPD.The chances of achieving TO are significantly reduced when the operation time>360 min,the intraoperative blood loss>400 ml,the texture of pancreas was soft,and the diameter of the main pancreatic duct>3 mm.

Osteosarcoma is a primary bone tumor originating from mesenchymal tissues,highly aggressive and metastatic,and is one of the causes of orthopedic disorders in children and adolescents.The establishment of an osteosarcoma model is useful for studying the changes in the physiology and pathology of the organism after the occurrence of osteosarcoma.The establishment methods of osteosarcoma models not only differ in terms of difficulty,tumorigenicity,tumor-formation time,tumor survival time,tumor metastasis,and safety,but also in terms of simulating human osteosarcoma biological characteristics and histological features.In addition,the wide application of tissue engineering in tumor modeling is conducive to better study the role of the osteosarcoma microenvironment in osteosarcoma genesis and development.In this paper,we summarize the roles of different osteosarcoma animal models and their tissue engineering models in different experiments,in order to provide help for the study of osteosarcoma pathogenesis and drug intervention mechanism.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction model based on explainable intelligence(XAI)analysis algorithms for orthopedic consumables in surgery room,and improve the management quality of controlling risk for orthopedic consumables in surgery room.Methods:A risk index system for orthopedic consumables in the surgery room was established through researching literature and using Delphi method.The data of supply and use of consumables were collected to construct a risk prediction model.Risk control paths were formulated from three aspects included formulating preoperative plan,intraoperative dynamic allocation,and postoperative tracking and feedback.A total of 6,572 sets of orthopedic consumables that were used in the surgery room of the 960th Hospital of People's Liberation Army Joint Service Support Force from January 2021 to December 2024 were selected.The 3,185 sets of orthopedic consumables that were used during January 2021 and December 2022 were managed by using conventional method of controlling and managing risk.The 3,387 sets of orthopedic consumables that were used during January 2023 and December 2024 were managed by using intelligent method of controlling and managing risk.The early warning capabilities for risk,and the control quality for risk between the two management methods were compared.A self-made satisfaction survey questionnaire was adopted to investigate the satisfaction scores of medical staffs and managers for consumables in the surgery room for the two management methods.Results:The average accuracy rates of using the intelligent method of controlling and managing risk in predicting formulating preoperative plan,intraoperatively dynamic allocation,and postoperative tracking and feedback for early warning events of risk in 157,247 and 57 consumables were respectively 49.68%(78/157),42.11%(104/247)and 56.14%(32/57),all of which were higher than those of conventional method of controlling and managing risk,and the difference were statistically significant(x2=9.475,23.637,13.035,P<0.05).The average reduction rate of risk events of consumables,the average intervention rate of abnormal use of consumables,and the mean value of enhance degree of turnover efficiency of consumables were respectively(6.25±1.59)%,(87.93±4.44)%and(4.78±1.69)%,all of which were higher than those of conventional method of controlling and managing risk,and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.952,6.257,4.660,P<0.05).The scores of medical staffs and managers in surgery room for acceptance of early warning for risk,support of management decision,satisfaction of using consumables,and assessment results of training by adopting intelligent method of controlling and managing risk were all higher than those by adopting conventional method of controlling and managing risk,and the differences were statistically significant(t=3.368,3.082,3.701,4.558,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of prediction model based on XAI analysis algorithm for risk of orthopedic consumables in the surgery room can improve the accuracy of early warning for risk of orthopedic consumables in the surgery room,and reduce the incidence of risk events,and enhance the ability of emergent response for risk,and improve the quality of clinical services.
