Objective:To explore the genotypes and clinical phenotypes of three families with Liddle Syndrome(LS).Methods:In this study, three young patients with hypertension and hypokalemia were confirmed LS through second-generation sequencing genetic testing. Members of the three families were screened for genes, and genotypes and clinical phenotypes were analyzed.Results:This study identified three patients in Family 1 carrying a possible pathogenic heterozygous variant c. 1859A>G(p.Y620C) in the SCNN1B gene(sodium channel epithelia 1β subunit). Five patients in family 2 and family 3 carried the pathogenic heterozygous variant c. 1789dup(p.R597Pfs*11) in the SCNN1B gene. Following three months of treatment with salt restriction and triamterene, blood pressure and potassium levels returned to normal in all eight patients.Conclusion:LS patients typically present clinically with early-onset hypertension accompanied by hypokalemia, but there is clinical heterogeneity. It is recommended to conduct genetic testing on suspected patients as early as possible to confirm the diagnosis and initiate timely treatment with effective medications so as to reduce the complications of target organs.

Nasal drug delivery efficiency is highly dependent on the position in which the drug is deposited in the nasal cavity. However, no reliable method is currently available to assess its impact on delivery performance. In this study, a biomimetic nasal model based on three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology was developed for visualizing the deposition of drug powders in the nasal cavity. The results showed significant differences in cavity area and volume and powder distribution in the anterior part of the biomimetic nasal model of Chinese males and females. The nasal cavity model was modified with dimethicone and validated to be suitable for the deposition test. The experimental device produced the most satisfactory results with five spray times. Furthermore, particle sizes and spray angles were found to significantly affect the experimental device's performance and alter drug distribution, respectively. Additionally, mometasone furoate (MF) nasal spray (NS) distribution patterns were investigated in a goat nasal cavity model and three male goat noses, confirming the in vitro and in vivo correlation. In conclusion, the developed human nasal structure biomimetic device has the potential to be a valuable tool for assessing nasal drug delivery system deposition and distribution.

Background/Aims:
Low educational attainment is a well-established risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in developed areas. However, the association between educational attainment and the risk of NAFLD is less clear in China.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study including over 200,000 Chinese adults across mainland China was conducted. Information on education level and lifestyle factors were obtained through standard questionnaires, while NAFLD and advanced fibrosis were diagnosed using validated formulas. Outcomes included the risk of NAFLD in the general population and high probability of fibrosis among patients with NAFLD. Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the risk of NAFLD and fibrosis across education levels. A causal mediation model was used to explore the potential mediators.
Results:
Comparing with those receiving primary school education, the multi-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for NAFLD were 1.28 (1.16 to 1.41) for men and 0.94 (0.89 to 0.99) for women with college education after accounting for body mass index. When considering waist circumference, the odds ratios (95% CIs) were 0.94 (0.86 to 1.04) for men and 0.88 (0.80 to 0.97) for women, respectively. The proportions mediated by general and central obesity were 51.00% and 68.04% for men, while for women the proportions were 48.58% and 32.58%, respectively. Furthermore, NAFLD patients with lower educational attainment showed an incremental increased risk of advanced fibrosis in both genders.
Conclusions
In China, a low education level was associated with a higher risk of prevalent NAFLD in women, as well as high probability of fibrosis in both genders.

ObjectiveTo investigate the willingness of middle school students to engage in medicine and its influencing factors during COVID-19 pandemic in Lanzhou, so as to provide references for the early career planning education on middle school students. MethodsConvenient sampling method was used to choose 1 795 middle school students from 5 schools in Lanzhou from July 21 to July 31, 2022 for this study where an online questionnaire survey was distributed to collect data. A self-compiled questionnaire was used to gather the general information, assess the willingness to engage in medicine and seek the underlying reasons. The psychological resilience level of students was assessed using Resilience Scale for Adolescents. Then multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the factors associated with the willingness of middle school students to engage in medicine. ResultsAfter the local outbreak of COVID-19 in Lanzhou, 835 (46.52%) middle school students demonstrated their willingness to engage in medicine, and the top three reasons for their willingness were being affected by medical staff during the pandemic (75.69%), having interests in medical sciences (67.31%), and the potential increase of attention to national medical development after the epidemic (43.23%). Logistical regression analysis showed that female gender (OR=1.438, P<0.01), family members engaged in the medical and health industry (OR=1.574, P<0.01) and having a high psychological resilience score (OR=1.011, P<0.01) were related to the clear willingness to engage in medicine, while studying in senior middle school (OR=0.473, P<0.01) and excessive exposure (≥50%) to negative information during the epidemic (OR=0.797, P<0.05) were related to declining willingness to engage in medicine. ConclusionAfter the COVID-19 outbreak in Lanzhou, a large proportion of local middle school students show their willingness to engage in medicine, especially among those of female gender, having family members engaged in the medical and health industry and having high level of psychological resilience. Whereas students studying in senior middle school and with excessive exposure to negative information during the outbreak indicate low willingness to engage in medicine.

ObjectiveTo obtain the status of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among tuberculosis (TB)-related health-care workers (HCWs) in Shanghai, and to explore the risk factors related to TB infection. MethodsA multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted by recruiting medical workers from multiple designated TB hospitals, centers for disease control and prevention, and community health service centers in Shanghai. Each subject was required to complete a questionnaire and to provide a blood sample for TB infection test. Univariate and multivariate analysis ware made in order to find risk factors relating to TB infection. ResultsA total of 165 medical workers were recruited, and the proportion of TB infection was 16.36% (95%CI: 11.49%‒22.76%). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that clinical doctors and nurses (adjusted OR=9.756, 95%CI: 1.790‒53.188), laboratory staffs (adjusted OR=78.975, 95%CI: 8.749‒712.918), and nursing and cleaning workers (adjusted OR=89.920, 95%CI: 3.111‒2 598.930) had higher risk of TB infection. ConclusionThe overall LTBI prevalence among TB-related HCWs is low. However, working as doctors, nurses, laboratory staffs, nursing workers and cleaning workers are risk factors of TB infection. TB-related HCWs who work at hospitals are at risk of TB infection comparing to medical staffs who work outside hospitals.
