Objective: To explore relationship of sleep quality with overweight and obesity among middle school students, so as to provide a reference basis for improving adolescent sleep health. Methods: From September to December 2023, 5 713 middle school students aged 13 to 18 were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method in six regions, including Shanghai, Suzhou, Taiyuan, Wuyuan, Xingyi and Urumqi. Sleep quality survey was conducted on middle school students by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Height and weight were measured, and World Health Organization s standards for growth and development of children and adolescents was used to evaluate their nutritional status. Both χ 2 test and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the association between sleep quality and nutritional status of middle school students. Results: The non compliance detection rate of sleep quality was 38.4% among girls, but 29.2% among boys, and the difference was of statistical significance( χ 2=54.08, P < 0.01 ). The detection rate of substandard sleep quality was 34.2% in the group with normal nutritional status, 38.3% in the group with overweight, 43.7% in the group with obesity and 26.0% in the group with emaciation, and the difference in the rates of substandard sleep quality among middle school students of different nutritional status was statistically significant ( χ 2=68.15, P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for mental health and physical activity, the detection rate of substandard sleep quality in the obese groups was 1.30 times higher than that in the normal group, respectively( OR =1.30, 95% CI =1.06- 1.59 , P <0.01). Conclusions Sleep quality is correlated with overweight and obesity among middle school students, and there are gender differences. Intervention policies should be formulated according to the characteristics of different genders.

Objective To externally validate a prediction model based on clinical and CT imaging features for the preoperative identification of high-grade patterns (HGP), such as micropapillary and solid subtypes, in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, in order to guide clinical treatment decisions. Methods This study conducted an external validation of a previously developed prediction model using a cohort of patients with clinical stage ⅠA lung adenocarcinoma from the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The model, which incorporated factors including tumor size, density, and lobulation, was assessed for its discrimination, calibration performance, and clinical impact. Results A total of 650 patients (293 males, 357 females; age range: 30-82 years) were included. The validation showed that the model demonstrated good performance in discriminating HGP (area under the curve>0.7). After recalibration, the model's calibration performance was improved. Decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated that at a threshold probability>0.6, the number of HGP patients predicted by the model closely approximated the actual number of cases. Conclusion This study confirms the effectiveness of a clinical and imaging feature-based prediction model for identifying HGP in stage ⅠA lung adenocarcinoma in a clinical setting. Successful application of this model may be significant for determining surgical strategies and improving patients' prognosis. Despite certain limitations, these findings provide new directions for future research.

Objective To investigate the registration and epidemiological characteristics of notifiable infectious diseases in a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou during 2020-2024,providing evidence for infectious disease prevention,control,and hospital infection management.Methods A retrospective analysis of surveillance data on statutory infectious diseases reported by the hospital from 2020 to 2024 was conducted using descriptive epidemiological methods.Results From 2020 to 2024,a total of 46229 cases of notifiable infectious diseases were reported at a tertiary hospital in Panyu District,Guangzhou,with an annual in-crease in reporting rates.Disease classifications showed Category B diseases accounted for 29.64％(13 703 cases),Category C diseases for 43.04％(19 895 cases),and other legally managed diseases for 27.32％(12 631 cases).Male patients signifi-cantly outnumbered female patients(63.8％ vs.36.2％).The most frequently reported infectious diseases were influenza(11 603 cases,25.10％),hand-foot-and-mouth disease(6 188 cases,13.4％),and hepatitis B(4 110 cases,8.9％).Sta-tistically significant differences(P＜0.05)were observed in disease composition ratios across years,age groups,genders,and seasons.Seasonal distribution was notable:influenza was prevalent in winter and spring(41.99％,27.16％),hand-foot-and-mouth disease peaked in summer(26.10％),and liver fluorosis was prominent in autumn(22.40％).Conclusion Notifiable infectious diseases exhibit distinct population and seasonal distribution patterns.Prioritized prevention and control measures should focus on influenza,hand-foot-mouth disease,and hepatitis B,with an integrated prevention and control system tailored to high-risk population characteristics and seasonal epidemiological patterns.

Objective:To identify independent risk factors for early recurrence following curative resection of resectable pancreatic cancer and establish a nomogram prediction model.Methods:Clinical data from 405 patients with resectable pancreatic cancer treated at Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were stratified into a training cohort (265 patients form February 2010 to December 2018) and a validation cohort (140 patients from January 2019 to December 2020) based on surgery dates. Optimal cutoff values for clinical variables were determined using X-tile software. Independent risk factors were identified through univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. Kaplan-Meier curves for recurrence-free survival (RFS) were generated across subgroups, and a nomogram was developed to predict early recurrence (within 1 year post-surgery). Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (tROC) curves was drawn and area under the curve (AUC) metrics were utilized to evaluate predictive accuracy, while model reliability was assessed by calibration curves. Individualized risk scores derived from the nomogram were stratified into high- and low-risk groups using X-tile-derived cutoff values. Survival differences between groups were analyzed via log-rank tests. The clinical application value was judged by decision curve analysis (DCA) compared to TNM staging. Results:In the training cohort, 139 patients (52.45%) experienced early recurrence, with a median RFS of 11.1 months [interquartile range ( IQR): 6.0-26.0]. The validation cohort reported 70 early recurrences (50.00%) and a median RFS of 11.8 months ( IQR: 4.9-21.4). Univariate analysis revealed significant associations between early recurrence and tumor diameter, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), systemic immune-inflammation index (SⅡ), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Multivariate analysis identified tumor diameter ≥3.75 cm ( HR=1.718, 95% CI 1.223-2.412, P=0.002), CA19-9≥218 U/ml ( HR=1.567, 95% CI 1.107-2.220, P=0.011), CA125≥20.98 U/ml ( HR=2.501, 95% CI 1.768-3.539, P<0.001), SⅡ≥388.28 ( HR=1.708, 95% CI 1.096-2.662, P=0.018), and PNI<53.18 ( HR=0.596, 95% CI 0.404-0.879, P=0.009) as independent risk factors for early recurrence. The nomogram achieved AUC values of 0.771 and 0.708 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Calibration curves demonstrated strong agreement between predicted and observed survival probabilities. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed significantly lower 1-year RFS rates in high-risk versus low-risk groups for both cohorts (training: HR=3.65, 95% CI 2.45-5.44, P<0.001; validation: HR=2.37, 95% CI 1.39-4.06, P=0.001). DCA indicated superior net benefit of the nomogram over TNM staging across threshold probabilities of 0.2-0.9. Conclusions:The proposed nomogram effectively integrates clinical and serological biomarkers to preoperatively assess early recurrence risk in resectable pancreatic cancer patients, offering enhanced precision for clinical decision-making.

Objective:To evaluate the application of modular teaching program in the clinical competence training for community general practitioners.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A 140 teaching hour-modular training program was designed by the authors on the basis of the previous training experience and conducted in clinical competence training for 20 general practitioners (study group) from all 10 community health service centers in Shanghai Huangpu district between September 2022 and April 2023; and 26 general practitioners who planned to participate in the next batch of training courses were enrolled as the control group. The clinical competence assessment was conducted in May 2023, including knowledge level tests and clinical skill assessment. By comparing the scores of clinical competence assessment and satisfaction survey between two groups, the training effectiveness was evaluated.Results:Among the 46 general practitioners, 33 (71.7%) were female, aged 27 to 47 (37±6), working in general practice for 2 to 25 (9.4±5.5) years, 31 (67.4%) had participated in standardized residency training for general practice and 31 (67.4%) were contracted family doctors. The total score of 46 general practitioners was 69.7±9.6, and 68.9±8.6 for knowledge level and 69.8±10.6 for clinical skills. The total scores and single scores of trained participants were all significantly higher than those of untrained(all P<0.05). The multiple linear regression model showed that after controlling for gender, age, educational background, professional title, years of working in general practice, participation in standardized residency training, and status as a contracted family doctor, the trained participants had significantly higher scores in history collection, pediatric reception, indwelling gastric tube and abdominal puncture (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the scores in knowledge level test, nervous system physical examination, SOAP medical record writing, and tutorium between the trained and untrained groups (all P>0.05). Among 20 general practitioners who completed training, the overall satisfaction score of the training program was 4.3±0.7 points, including 4.3±0.6 for the training course, 4.3±0.7 for teachers, and 4.3±0.7 for the organization and arrangement; 85% of the participants considered the training to be very helpful or helpful for improving their competence, and 90% considered the training to be very helpful or helpful for their future work. Conclusion:Modular teaching program is helpful to improve the clinical competence of community general practitioners, especially in clinical skills.

Objective To investigate whether curcumin alleviates septic lung injury by inhibiting ferroptosis through modulating the TXNIP/TRX-1/GPX4 pathway.Methods Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into Sham group,cecal ligation puncture(CLP)-induced sepsis group,CLP with curcumin treatment(50,100,and 200 mg/kg)groups,and CLP with both curcumin(200 mg/kg)and TRX-1 inhibitor PX-12(25 mg/kg)treatment group.Inflammatory factors,MDA,MPO,and GSH levels in the lung tissue of the mice were detected.Beas-2B cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS;1 μg/mL)were treated with 2.5,5,or 10 μmol/L curcumin or with 10 μmol/L curcumin combined with 5 μmol/L PX-12,and the changes in MDA,Fe2+and ROS levels were assessed.Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expressions of TXNIP,TRX-1,GPX4 and X-CT in both the mouse lung tissues and Beas-2B cells.Results The mice with CLP-induced sepsis showed severe lung injury with elevated expressions of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,MDA and MPO and decreased GSH expression.In Beas-2B cells,LPS stimulation significantly increased MDA and Fe2+levels and ROS release,increased TXNIP protein expression,and lowered the protein expression levels of TRX-1,GPX4 and X-CT,and these changes were also observed in the septic mice.Curcumin treatments at different concentrations obviously alleviated lung injury in the septic mice and reduced LPS-induced injury in Beas-2B cells.Curcumin significantly decreased the release of inflammatory factors,MDA and MPO,increased GSH level,lowered Fe2+,MDA and ROS levels,increased TXNIP protein expression,and lowered the protein expressions of TRX-1,GPX4 and X-CT in both septic mouse lung tissues and LPS-stimulated Beas-2B cells.The protective effect of curcumin was effectively blocked by PX-12 treatment.Conclusion Curcumin inhibits ferroptosis and alleviates septic lung injury in mice by elevating TRX-1 and GPX4 and decreasing TXNIP in the lung tissue.

Objective:To determine incidence of seasonal influenza virus infection in the community and to analyze the factors influencing seasonal influenza virus infection.Methods:This study recruited residents aged 6-59 years to build a cohort in 15 villages/streets in Macheng city in November 2019. Meanwhile, a cross-sectional baseline survey was conducted immediately to collect sera, information on demographics and child protection knowledge, behaviors, as well as attitudes using a questionnaire from the participants enrolled in the cohort (i.e., before the influenza epidemic season). In July 2020, a cross-sectional follow-up survey was conducted to collect sera once again (i.e., after the influenza season). Paired sera from the two cross-sectional surveys were tested for influenza virus-specific antibodies by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test or micro-neutralization (MN) test using a circulating representative strain of each subtype/lineage of influenza virus as the test antigen. The infections with influenza virus subtype/lineage was confirmed if there was a four-fold or more increase in titers of antibodies against circulating representative strain of the subtype/lineage of influenza virus. Factors influencing infection with influenza A (H3N2) and B/Victoria viruses were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression.Results:In November 2019, 800 study participants were enrolled in the cohort, including 340 children aged 6-17 years and 460 adults aged 18-59 years; 605 study participants (including 224 children and 381 adults) were followed up in July 2020 and their paired sera were obtained before and after the influenza season. 25.3% (153/605) of the participants were confirmed to be infected with at least one subtype/lineage of seasonal influenza virus by HI and MN tests. The overall incidence of influenza viruses of all subtypes/lineages in children was 44.2% (95% CI: 37.6%-50.8%) which was significantly higher than the incidence of 14.1% in adults (95% CI: 10.7%-17.7%). Children had the highest incidence of influenza A (H3N2) virus infection, followed by B/Victoria. MN or HI antibody titers in A (H3N2)[ OR=0.88 (95% CI: 0.84-0.93)] and B/Victoria[ OR=0.97 (95% CI: 0.95-0.99)] before the influenza season were significantly associated with whether children were infected with that subtype/lineage of influenza virus. Conclusions:The residents aged 6-59 years in Macheng city had a substantial incidence of seasonal influenza virus infection during the influenza season from winter 2019 to spring 2020. Notably, almost half of children aged 6-17 years have been infected with seasonal influenza virus. Higher titers of HI/MN antibodies against seasonal influenza virus before the influenza season would be likely to reduce the risk of infection with influenza A (H3N2) and B/Victoria.

Objective:To assess the long-term outcome of sequential radical surgery after immune combined with targeted therapy for patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:Clinical data of 100 patients with initially unresectable HCC undergoing sequential radical surgery after immune combined with targeted therapy at the Faculty of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery of Chinese PLA General Hospital from December 2018 to August 2023 were prospectively collected, including 87 males and 13 females, with a median age of 55 (24-73) years. The pre-treatment tumor staging was determined using the China liver cancer staging (CNLC). The efficacy of immune combined with targeted therapy was accessed using the modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (mRECIST). The cycles of immune combined with targeted therapy were analyzed. The tumor residual of resected tissue was analyzed through a standard pathological protocol. The prognosis was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Upon initial diagnosis, there were 46 cases (46.0%) staged CNLC-Ⅲa and 40 (40.0%) staged CNLC-Ⅲb. There were also 14 cases (14.0%) staged CNLC-Ⅰb, Ⅱa, and Ⅱb who underwent immune combined with targeted therapy due to rupture of tumor or insufficient liver remnant. All patients received a median of 5 (3-28) cycles of immune combined with targeted therapy and underwent radical surgery after successful conversion. According to mRECIST, 14 (14.0%) were determined as complete remission, 63 (63.0%) as partial remission, 18 (18.0%) as stable disease, and 5 (5.0%) as disease progression. Of 24 (24.0%) were defined as pathologically complete remission by postoperative pathology. Furthermore, pathological tumor residue was less than 10% in 61 (61.0%) cases and less than 50% in 82 (82.0%) cases. The 1, 3, and 5 year-overall survival rates of patients were 98.0%, 83.1%, and 74.5%, respectively. The 1, 2 and 3 year-recurrence-free survival rates were 67.5%, 54.8%, and 49.6%, respectively.Conclusion:Sequential radical surgery after immune combined with targeted therapy benefits the long-term survival of patients with initially unresectable HCC.
