Objective: To explore the early effects of birth weight at different gestational ages on blood pressure trajectory among primary school students, so as to provide evidence for incorporating gestational age birth weight into individualized early warning and intervention strategies for childhood hypertension. Methods: From May to November 2023, a purposeful sampling method was used to recruit 1 676 students in grade 1-3 from three primary schools in a certain urban district of Chongqing. Follow up assessments were conducted in May 2024(T1), November 2024(T2), and May 2025(T3). General demographic and birth related information were collected via self administered questionnaires, while height, weight and blood pressure were obtained through physical examinations. Linear mixed effects model was used to analyze the associations between birth weight at different gestational ages and blood pressure trajectories. Results: During the T1-T3 period, the systolic blood pressure of boys were 98.5 (93.0, 104.5 ),98.5 (93.5, 105.0), and 97.5 (92.5, 103.5)mmHg, respectively, while the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.5, 65.0), 61.5 ( 57.0 , 65.5), and 60.0 (56.0, 64.0)mmHg, respectively. For girls, the systolic blood pressure were 95.5 (90.0, 102.0),95.5 (90.5, 101.5), and 96.0 (90.5, 101.5)mmHg, respectively, and the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.0, 64.5 ),61.5 (57.5, 65.5), and 59.5 (56.0, 63.0)mmHg, respectively. Through Friedman test within both boys and girls, diostolic blood pressure were statistically significant across three measurements( χ 2=48.85，81.54，both P <0.01). The proportion of normal blood pressure increased , and the proportion of prehypertension and hypertension decreased with time( χ 2=39.72，25.62，both P < 0.01 ). Linear mixed effects model analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, sex, household income monthly, parental education, family history of hypertension and maternal pregnancy complications, large for gestational age had significantly higher trajectories of systolic ( β = 1.50) and diastolic( β =0.94) blood pressure compared to appropriate for gestational age(both P <0.01). Conclusion Large for gestational age is associated with elevated blood pressure trajectories during school age, and it may be considered as an early indicator for individualized screening and intervention for childhood hypertension.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of yang-reinforcing and blood-activating therapy on the long-term prognosis for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy （DCM） of yang deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 371 DCM patients with yang deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. The yang-reinforcing and blood-activating therapy was defined as the exposure factor. Patients were categorized into exposure group （186 cases） and non-exposure group （185 cases） according to whether they received yang-reinforcing and blood-activating therapy combined with conventional western medicine for 6 months or longer. The follow-up period was set at 48 months， and the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess the cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events （MACE） in both groups. Cox regression analysis was used to explore the impact of yang-reinforcing and blood-activating therapy on the risk of MACE， and subgroup analysis was performed. Changes in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score， left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， left ventricular fractional shortening （LVFS）， left ventricular end-diastolic diameter （LVEDD）， and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire （MLHFQ） score were compared between groups at the time of first combined use of yang-reinforcing and blood-activating therapy （before treatment） and 1 year after receiving the therapy （after treatment）. ResultsMACE occurred in 31 cases （16.67%） in the exposure group and 47 cases （25.41%） in the non-exposure group. The cumulative incidence of MACE in the exposure group was significantly lower than that in the non-exposure group ［HR=0.559， 95%CI（0.361，0.895）， P=0.014］. Cox regression analysis showed that yang-reinforcing and blood-activating therapy was an independent factor for reducing the risk of MACE in DCM patients ［HR=0.623， 95%CI（0.396，0.980）， P=0.041］， and consistent results were observed in different subgroups. Compared with pre-treatment， the exposure group showed decreased TCM syndrome score and MLHFQ score， reduced LVEDD， and increased LVEF and LVFS after treatment （P＜0.05）； in the non-exposure group， TCM syndrome score decreased， LVEF and LVFS increased， and LVEDD reduced after treatment （P＜0.05）. After treatment， the exposure group had higher LVEF and LVFS， smaller LVEDD， and lower TCM syndrome score and MLHFQ score compared with the non-exposure group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionCombining yang-reinforcing and blood-activating therapy with conventional western medicine can reduce the risk of MACE in DCM patients with yang deficiency and blood stasis syndrome， meanwhile improving their clinical symptoms， cardiac function， and quality of life.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Forsythiae Fructus-Lonicerae Japonicae Flos（FF） in the treatment of acute lung injury（ALI） by investigating the effects of FF on serum metabolomics of rats with ALI. MethodsThirty male SD rats were acclimated for 1 week， and 6 rats were randomly selected as the blank group. The other 24 rats were injected with lipopolysaccharide（LPS） solution by tracheal drip to establish an ALI model. After successful model establishment， the rats were randomly divided into the model group， the FF low-dose group（3.0 g·kg^-1）， the FF high-dose group（6.0 g·kg^-1）， and the dexamethasone group（5 mg·kg^-1）， with six rats in each group. The FF low- and high-dose groups and the dexamethasone group were received daily oral administration of the corresponding drug solution， and the blank group and the model group were gavaged with an equal amount of saline， treatment was administered continuously for 3 d. The pathological conditions of rat lung tissues were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， wet/dry mass ratio（W/D） of the lung tissues， and protein concentration in rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid（BALF）. Metabolomic analysis of rat serum was performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）， combined with multivariate statistical analysis， the potential biomarkers of FF in treating ALI were screened by variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1， P<0.05 from t-test， and log₂fold change（FC）>1 or log₂FC<-1. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） database combined with MetaboAnalyst were used for pathway analysis of the screened differential metabolites. The protein expression levels of sphingosine-1-phosphate（S1P）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase（PI3K）， protein kinase B1（Akt1）， and phosphorylated Akt1（p-Akt1） were examined by Western bolt. The expression levels of interleukin（IL）-6， IL-1β， and tumor necrosis factor（TNF）-α in BALF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. ResultsCompared with the blank group， rats in the model group showed ALI pathological features such as alveolar lumen dilatation， interstitial hemorrhage and massive inflammatory cell infiltration， and the protein concentration in BALF and W/D of the lung tissues were significantly elevated（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the low- and high-dose groups of FF as well as the dexamethasone group exhibited reduced pulmonary bronchial hemorrhage in rats， and the protein concentration in BALF and W/D were significantly decreased（P<0.05）， and the lung injury was significantly alleviated. Analysis of rat serum metabolomics revealed that FF downregulated 38 biomarkers. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that FF primarily exerted therapeutic effects through 7 key metabolic pathways， including arginine biosynthesis， sphingomyelin metabolism， alanine， aspartate and glutamate metabolism， taurine and hypotaurine metabolism， α-linolenic acid metabolism， niacin and nicotinamide metabolism， and retinol metabolism. The results of Western bolt and ELISA showed that， compared with the blank group， the model group exhibited significantly elevated expression levels of S1P， PI3K， Akt1 and p-Akt1 proteins in the lung tissues， as well as increased expression levels of IL-6， IL-1β and TNF-α in BALF（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the expression levels of the aforementioned indicators were significantly downregulated in the low- and high-dose FF groups as well as the dexamethasone group（P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionFF may play a role in ALI by regulating amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism， and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of S1P/PI3K/Akt1 signaling pathway to attenuate the inflammatory response caused by ALI.

The elimination of biofilms is a crucial step in controlling hospital-acquired infections.Once biofilms colonize luminal instruments,it is difficult to remove them using traditional disinfection methods.Conventional disinfection approaches now face a series of challenges,including microbial resistance,corrosiveness,cytotoxicity,residual disinfection byproducts,and environmental pollution.Therefore,developing novel disinfection technologies specifically targeting biofilm removal is vitally important.New disinfection technologies,such as slightly acidic electrolyzed water,plasma technology,surface modification techniques,nanomaterial-based disinfection,bacteriophage disinfection,and enzymatic disinfection,are constantly emerging.These technologies exhibit excellent performance against biofilms by leveraging the synergistic effects of multiple mechanisms,including the reactive oxygen species(ROS)burst,photocatalytic oxidation,physical disruption,and biological targeting.This review summarizes the characteristics,underlying mechanisms,and potential application scenarios of these novel disinfection technologies,with a particular focus on their effects against biofilms formed by common pathogenic bacteria on surfaces in hospital settings.It aims to provide a reference basis for the practical application and translation of these disinfection technologies and the development of new disinfection strategies.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with early gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma(EGCLS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 27 consecutive patients with EGCLS who underwent radical surgery at The Second People's Hospital of Changzhou between January 2007 and December 2023.Sixty-nine cases of conventional early gastric carcinoma with matched T stages were randomly selected as controls.Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of P53,mismatch repair(MMR)proteins,programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1),E-cadherin,and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)in the study cohort.FISH analysis was conducted on HER2 2+cases,and in situ hybridization was used to detect Epstein-Barr virus(EBV).Res-ults:No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of patient sex,age,tumor location,size,ulceration,lymph-ovascular or perineural invasion,tumor budding grade,P53 expression,or MMR protein deficiency.The EGCLS group showed significantly higher proportions of SM2 invasion(88.9%),poor tumor differentiation(70.4%),pushing tumor border(48.1%),PD-L1 positivity(59.3%),Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA(EBER)positivity(55.6%),and abnormal E-cadherin expression(48.1%)compared to the control group(59.4%,46.4%,18.8%,24.6%,1.4%,and 23.2%,respectively;P<0.05).The frequency of lymph node metastasis(7.4%)and the pro-portion of elevated macroscopic type(14.8%)in the EGCLS group were significantly lower than in the control group(30.4%and 40.6%,re-spectively;P<0.05).Lymphovascular invasion,tumor budding grade,and non-EGCLS status were identified as risk factors for lymph node metastasis,with lymphovascular invasion being the only independent risk factor.Conclusions:EGCLS is a rare subtype of early gastric car-cinoma characterized by a low frequency of lymph node metastasis and a high proportion of EBER positivity or MMR protein deficiency.En-doscopic resection or immunotherapy may be preferred treatment options for patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and changing trends of elderly patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis(DR-PTB)at Beijing Chest Hospital, Capital Medical University, in order to provide references for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods:Data were retrospectively collected from all DR-PTB cases hospitalized in the electronic medical record system of Beijing Chest Hospital from 2019 to 2023.The epidemiological characteristics including classification, gender, age, occupation and their changing trends among elderly DR-PTB patients were analyzed.Results:Among 1 981 hospitalized DR-PTB patients, 400(20.19%)were elderly[aged 60-92 years, mean(68.67±7.01)years], showing an overall increasing trend from 2019 to 2023.Mono-resistant PTB was the most common(198 cases, 49.50%), followed by multidrug-resistant PTB(170 cases, 42.50%), extensively drug-resistant PTB(21 cases, 5.25%), and polyresistant PTB(11 cases, 2.75%).Among the elderly DR-PTB patients, 287 cases(71.75%)were male, 200 cases(50.00%)were initial treatment cases, 377 cases(94.25%)were Han nationality, 165 cases(41.25%)were Beijing residents, 185 cases(46.25%)were employees of enterprises and institutions, 109 cases(27.25%)were farmers, 68 cases(17.00%)were unemployed individuals, 202 cases(50.50%)were pathogen-positive cases(smear and culture positive), and 228 cases(57.00%), 331 cases(82.75%), 196 cases(49.00%)were patients with comorbidities, complications, and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, respectively.There were no significant differences between elderly and non-elderly groups in ethnicity, treatment classification, or comorbidities(all P>0.05).However, significantly differences were found in gender ( χ2=12.718, P<0.001), occupation ( χ2=97.500, P<0.001), patient origin ( χ2=119.771, P<0.001), pathogen detection results ( χ2=10.101, P=0.001), and drug resistance patterns ( χ2=15.990, P=0.001).The proportion of elderly DR-PTB patients showed an overall increasing trend, with rises in females(25.64%-28.70%), unemployed individuals(7.69%-20.37%), other occupations(5.13%-19.40%), Han ethnicity(91.03%-99.07%), initial treatment(33.33%-57.41%), smear-negative but culture-positive cases(46.15%-53.70%), polyresistant PTB(1.28%-9.26%), and extensively drug-resistant PTB(1.28%-3.70%). Conclusions:Among elderly DR-PTB patients, the proportions of female, unemployed individuals and other occupations, initial treatment cases, smear-negative but culture-positive cases, polyresistant PTB, and extensively drug-resistant PTB are increasing annually.Future efforts should focus on targeted prevention and treatment for key populations to further reduce the rate of elderly DR-PTB.

BackgroundIn recent years， the incidence of non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behaviors among adolescents has been increasing annually. Self-esteem and alexithymia are strongly associated with NSSI behaviors， and alienation is closely linked to both self-esteem and alexithymia. However， there is limited research on the relationship between alienation and NSSI behaviors among adolescents in China. ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between alienation and NSSI behaviors among adolescents， and to explore the factors influencing NSSI behaviors in this population， so as to provide insights for the prevention and treatment of NSSI behaviors in adolescents. MethodsAdolescents admitted to the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology at the 923^rd Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from September 1， 2021 to March 1， 2023， who met the diagnostic criteria for NSSI in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5）， were selected as the study group （n=60）. Concurrently， middle school students from Nanning were recruited as the control group （n=60）. Participants were assessed using Adolescent Self Harm Scale （ASHS）， Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale （RSES）， Toronto Alexithymia Scale （TAS） and Adolescent Students′ Alienation Scale （ASAS）. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine the relationships between scale scores in the study group， and Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors of NSSI behaviors among adolescents. ResultsThe RSES score of the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group （t=-7.033， P<0.01）. The TAS and ASAS scores of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group （t=5.591， 8.124， P<0.01）. The ASHS score was negatively correlated with RSES score （r=-0.410， P<0.01） and positively correlated with ASAS score （r=0.555， P<0.01）. The RSES scores of the study group were negatively correlated with TAS and ASAS scores （r=-0.317， -0.590， P<0.05 or 0.01）. Logistic regression analysis showed that being female （OR=0.714， 95% CI： 0.042~0.709） was a protective factor for NSSI behaviors among adolescents， while high alienation （OR=1.028， 95% CI： 1.013~1.043） and residing in rural areas （OR=6.692， 95% CI： 2.038~21.967） were risk factors for NSSI behaviors among adolescents. ConclusionAlienation was positively correlated with NSSI behaviors in adolescents. Female adolescents had a lower risk of NSSI behaviors， while those with higher levels of alienation or residing in rural areas were more prone to NSSI behaviors. ［Funded by Self-financed Scientific Research Project of the Health Commission of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region （number， Z20210656）； Self-financed Scientific Research Project of the Health Commission of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region （number， Z-A20231057）］
