Objective: To quantitatively assess the health risk of preservatives from beverages around primary schools in Anshun City, and to provide scientific basis for precise food safety supervision. Methods: From December 2023 to July 2024, 602 beverage samples were randomly collected from within 100 meters of 19 primary schools in Anshun City. The content of benzoic acid, sorbic acid, and dehydroacetic acid was detected according to GB 5009 series standards. Combined with children s physiological parameters (body weight 30 kg, daily intake 0.15 L), the Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Hazard Index (HI) models were used to evaluate health risks. Results: The total detection rate of preservatives from beverages around primary schools was 63.0%, and the total over limit rate was 9.0%. The detection rate of preservatives in flavored beverages was the highest (72.6%), and the highest over limit rate of preservatives in special purpose beverages was the highest (17.2%). The single preservative HQ (benzoic acid up to 0.47 ) and mixed HI (up to 0.55) of all samples were below 1(safety threshold). However, the HQ value of benzoic acid in flavored beverages (0.47) was 2.9 times that of sorbic acid (0.16), contributing significantly to health risk. Sensitivity analysis showed that if the daily consumption increased to 0.3 L, the HI value of flavored beverages would rise to 1.11, exceeding the safety threshold. Enterprise scale analysis showed that the exceedance rate of special purpose beverages in large enterprises reached 30.0%, while micro enterprises, accounting for a dominant market share (52.2%), constituted the main source of children s daily exposure to their products. Conclusions The overall health risk of perservatives in beverages sold near primary schools in Anshun City is controllable, but there is a noticeable risk of gradient. The risk of children’s exposure to preservatives through beverage consumption should not be ignored.

Objective: To explore the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and elevated blood pressure among primary school students, and to analyze the mediating role of body mass index (BMI) in this association, so as to provide a scientific basis for the early prevention of childhood hypertension and dietary guidance. Methods: Research conducted based on the Ma anshan Child Growth Cohort in Anhui Province. From April to June 2024, 4 057 primary school students were selected as study subjects using a multi stage cluster sampling method. Dietary information was collected via Semi quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire to calculate the DII score. BMI was obtained by measuring students height and weight. Elevated blood pressure was defined based on the Blood Pressure Reference Standards for Children Aged 3-17 Years. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between DII scores and the risk of elevated blood pressure, and the Bootstrap method was employed to test for mediating effects. Results: The detection rate of elevated blood pressure among primary school students was 10.1% (408 cases). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for covariates such as gender and age, for each standard deviation increase in the DII score ( s =1.94), the risk of elevated blood pressure increased by 15% ( OR =1.15, 95% CI =1.04- 1.28 , P <0.05). Compared with the lowest quartile group of DII scores ( Q 1), students in the highest quartile group ( Q 4) had a 1.31-fold higher risk of elevated blood pressure ( OR =1.31, 95% CI =1.00-1.76, P <0.05). Restricted cubic spline results indicated a linear dose response relationship between DII scores and the risk of elevated blood pressure( P nonlinear =0.13). The mediation analysis revealed that BMI played a partial mediating role in the association between DII scores and elevated blood pressure. The mediation effect value was 0.06 (95% CI =0.04-0.08), accounting for 44.64% of the total effect. Conclusions DII scores are associated with elevated blood pressure among primary school students in Ma anshan City, and BMI plays a partial mediating role in this association. Promoting an anti inflammatory dietary pattern and weight control in early childhood should be emphasized to reduce the incidence of hypertension among primary school students.

Objective: To analyze the associations of physical activity with overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide reference for optimizing physical activity intervention strategies and promoting healthy lifestyles. Methods: From March to November 2023, a cross sectional survey was conducted among 90 457 junior and senior high school students aged 11-18 years in Zhejiang Province using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Data on physical activity and dietary behavior were collected through questionnaires, height and weight were measured. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The Chi-square test was used to examine differences, and Logistic regression was applied to evaluate the associations of physical activity characteristics with overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence. Additionally, the effectiveness of physical activity performed on rest days versus work days was examined. Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence among junior and senior high school students were 25.1%, 27.9%, and 6.7%, respectively, with significant sex differences ( χ 2=2 005.3, 587.7, 99.6, all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that students with insufficient physical activity had a higher risk of overweight/obesity compared with those with sufficient physical activity ( OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.06-1.17, P <0.01). Comparing to students who exercised 0-1 day per week, those who exercised 5-7 days per week were associated with a reduced risk of overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms ( OR=0.93, 95%CI =0.90-0.97; OR=0.95, 95%CI =0.91-0.99, both P <0.05). When total activity volume and frequency were held constant, students with sufficient rest day physical activity had lower risks of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence than those with insufficient rest day activity (all P < 0.01). Conclusions Sufficient amount of physical activity and higher frequency of rest day physical activity are significantly associated with lower risks of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence in adolescents. Physical activity performed on rest days may confer greater health benefits than activity performed on work days.

Objective To explore the risk factors and possible preventive measures of delayed postoperative intestinal paralysis(PPOI)in elderly(aged ≥75 years)patients with colorectal cancer.Methods This retrospective study included 333 patients with CRC who underwent laporascopic resection in General Department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from June 2016 to August 2023.There were 126 patients were enrolled in PPOI group and 207 patients were enrolled in non-PPOI group.The perioperative clinical characteristics of the patients were compared between PPOI group and non-PPOI group,and the risk factors of PPOI and potential preventive measures for them were investigated usingLogisticregression.Results The incidence of PPOI after laparoscopic surgery in elderly patients with colorectal cancer was 37.84％.The ages of the PPOI group and the non-PPOI group were(82.60±3.587)years and(80.38±3.847)years respectively.The rates of primary enterostomy during the operation were 20.63％and 9.66％,respectively,and the preoperative combined nutritional risks were 53.97％and 20.77％,respectively.The preoperative serum albumin levels were lower,which were(35.32±3.77)g/L and(38.36±3.91)g/L,respectively,and the preoperative hemoglobin levels were(104.47±20.31)g/L and(110.33±20.27)g/L,respectively.The intraoperative blood loss was(140.48±130.65)mland(98.26±56.45)ml,respectively.The patients who received enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)measures during the perioperative period were 14.29％and 75.85％,respectively.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The Logistic analysis showed that the risk factors for elderly patients with PPOI including increased age,preoperative nutritional risk,low preoperative albumin,increased intraoperative blood loss.Moreover,the implementation of ERAS protocols including preoperative nutritional support,multimodal low-opioid anesthesia,gastric tube removal and ground activity early after surgery may be the protective factors of PPOI.Conclusion The risk factors of PPOI for colorectal patients older than 75 years including increased age,preoperative nutritional risk,low preoperative albumin,increased intraoperative blood loss.The ERAS protocols including preoperative nutritional support,multimodal low-opioid anesthesia,gastric tube removal and ground activity early after surgery may be useful to prevent the occurrence of PPOI for elderly patients with colorectal cancer.

Ischemic heart disease(IHD)is a clinical disease characterized by reduced cardiac blood flow and im-balanced myocardial oxygen supply-demand.Previous studies have shown that stress hyperglycemia is associated with in-creased mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart failure,and is a poor prognostic risk factor for ische-mic heart disease.Stress hyperglycemia ratio(SHR)is a value calculated based on the random blood glucose and glycat-ed hemoglobin levels at admission through a mathematical model.As a novel indicator,it enables more accurate assess-ment of stress hyperglycemia.Recent studies has found that SHR is closely related to coronary artery disease,acute myo-cardial infarction,and heart failure caused by IHD.This article reviews the research progress on the association between SHR and IHD from three aspects.SHR may serve as a biochemical marker for risk stratification,prognosis assessment of IHD.

Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma homocysteine(Hcy)levels and cognitive impairment(CI).Methods From November 2018 to January 2019,baseline data and cognitive function were collected from the participants aged≥40 years who lived in two villages in Huyi District,Xi'an,China.Their global cognitive function was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)and the diagnosis of cognitive impairment was based on international guidelines.Fasting blood was collected in the morning,and plasma Hcy level was measured by the chemiluminometric assay.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis,subgroup analysis,and interaction analysis were performed to investigate the relationship between plasma Hcy and CI.Results A total of 1 805 subjects were included in the analysis.There were 1 056 females(58.5％),age ranged from 40 to 88 years[mean(58.99±9.52)years],and 145 participants(8.0％)were diagnosed as CI.The median plasma Hcy level in the overall population was 14.1(11.6,17.8)μmol/L.There were 729(40.4％)subjects in the HHcy group(＞15.0 μmol/L)and 1 076(59.6％)in the normal group(≤15.0 μmol/L).Univariate analysis showed that the prevalence of CI was higher in the HHcy group than in the normal Hcy group(11.4％vs.5.8％,P＜0.001).In multivariable Logistic regression fully adjusted for potential confounders,each 1 μmol/L increase in plasma Hcy level was associated with a 3.0％increased risk of CI(OR=1.030,95％CI:1.012-1.048,P=0.001).Interaction analysis indicated that sex,age,BMI,systolic blood pressure,history of stroke,and diabetes did not significantly modify this association.Conclusion Elevated plasma Hcy levels are associated with an increased risk of CI in people aged≥40 years.This indicates that HHcy may be a risk factor for CI.

Objective To explore the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis(CAS)and cognitive impairment in the stroke high-risk population aged 40 years and above in the rural area of Xi'an City and determine whether CAS is a risk factor for cognitive impairment.Methods In this study,stroke high-risk population found in the Community and Rural Population Stroke High-risk Group Screening and Intervention Project carried out in Huyi District,Xi'an City,from October 2014 to March 2015 were selected as the research subjects.Color Doppler ultrasound was used to evaluate CAS,and CAS was defined as:carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT)≥1.0 mm,or carotid arteries(including common carotid artery,carotid sinus,internal carotid artery,and external carotid artery)have atherosclerotic plaques,or carotid stenosis.Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)was used to assess cognitive function.The MMSE score lower than the cut-off value(illiteracy ≤17,primary school ≤ 20 points,and junior high school and above education level ≤24 points)is defined as cognitive impairment.The study population was grouped according to the presence of CAS or cognitive impairment;univariate difference test and bivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between CAS and cognitive impairment.Results A total of 451 subjects were included in the analysis.The average age of the subjects was(58.7±9.83)years old,and 44.3％were female.Among them,329 cases(72.9％)had CAS and 57 cases(12.6％)met the diagnostic criteria for cognitive impairment.The prevalence of cognitive impairment in CAS group was significantly higher than that in non-CAS group(14.6％vs.7.4％,P=0.041).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cognitive impairment was significantly correlated with age(OR=1.121,95％CI:1.056-1.189,P＜0.001),but not with CAS(OR=1.008,95％CI:0.202-5.170,P=0.992).Conclusion No significant association between CAS and cognitive impairment was found in high stroke risk group aged 40 and above in rural areas of Xi'an.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective To identify the pathogen causing bloodstream infection(BSI)in an elderly patient and to de-scribe its pathogenic characteristics.This study also reviews recent relevant literatures on Trichoderma longibra-chiatum(T.longibrachiatum)infections.Methods Blood specimens from central and peripheral veins were co-llected for blood culture.The morphological characteristics and drug susceptibility of the isolated filamentous fungus were analyzed.The sequences of the isolated strains were detected using the internal transcribed spacer(ITS)re-gion,and then analyzed using MEGA software.Results Both morphological observation and ITS sequencing su-ggested that the pathogen was T.longibrachiatum.The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)against the strain detected in accordance with the M38-A2 Guideline for the Drug Susceptibility of Filamentous Fungi issued by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)of the United States showed that the MICs of micafungin,caspofungin,5-fluorocytosine,posaconazole,voriconazole,itraconazole,fluconazole,anidulafungin and amphoteri-cin were 8,8,64,2,0.5,2,64,8 and 4 μg/mL respectively.The patient recovered well after anti-fungal treat-ment with voriconazole.A total of 15 cases of T.longibrachiatum infection were reported in the literature.The main underlying disease was transplantation(n=5),and the main clinical manifestation was pulmonary infection(n=5).Of these,9 cases survived,3 died,and 3 had an unknown prognosis.Conclusion T.longibrachiatum in-fection is more common in patients with low immunity and more underlying diseases,with a high fatality rate,lack standardized clinical treatment guidelines,lack break points in drug sensitivity results,and is resistant to common antifungal drugs.It is of guiding significance to isolate and identify pathogens in time and provide corresponding drug sensitivity testing results for clinical drug use.
