Objective: To explore the relationship between snack consumption and depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a basis for improving depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences. Methods: From October to December 2022,a cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 ethnic minority areas (Fugong County, Longling County, Longyang District, Luchun County, Mojiang County, Nanjian County, Qiaojia County, Shuangjiang County, Tengchong City, Yuanmou County, Zhenyuan County) in Yunnan Province for a questionnaire survey. The Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 was applied to assess depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students, and snack consumption was collected by employing food frequency questionnaire. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between first year junior high school students snack consumption and depressive symptoms, and the analysis was stratified according to left behind experience. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms among firstyear junior high school students with and without left behind experience were 36.25% and 26.91%, respectively. After controlling for confounding variables, the generalized linear model analysis showed that sweet snacks ( β=0.16, 95%CI =0.07-0.25), fast food ( β=0.14, 95%CI =0.04-0.23) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.09, 95%CI =0.01-0.17) of first year junior high school students with left behind experience (all P <0.05). Compared with those without such behavior, the risk of depressive symptoms was higher in consumption of fast food ( β=0.13, 95%CI =0.07-0.18) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.10, 95%CI =0.06-0.15)among first year junior high school students without left behind experience (both P <0.05). Conclusion Snack consumption among first year junior high school students in Yunnan may increase the risk of developing depressive symptoms, while first year junior high school students with left behind experience may have a greater risk of developing depressive symptoms.

Lianpo Yin was first recorded in the Revised Treatise on Cholera from Suixi Residence by WANG Mengying. It is composed of seven medicinal herbs： Coptidis Rhizoma， Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， Sojae Semen Praeparatum， Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma， Pinelliae Rhizoma， Gardeniae Fructus， and Phragmitis Rhizoma. As one of the classic prescriptions for clearing heat， resolving dampness， regulating Qi， and harmonizing the middle energizer， it has been included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions （Second Batch： Han Chinese Medicine） published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2023. Lianpo Yin is primarily indicated for cholera caused by the accumulation of dampness-heat， and it can promote digestion and eliminate phlegm. By summarizing the ancient literature records， chemical constituents of individual herbs and the compound formula， pharmacological effects， and modern clinical applications of Lianpo Yin， this paper discovers that the understandings of most ancient physicians are consistent with the original text. The pathogenesis treated by this prescription is generally attributed to the accumulation of dampness-heat in the middle energizer and disrupted ascending and descending of Qi. The main chemical components of this prescription include coptisine， trigonelline， genistein， palmatine， berberine， honokiol， and magnolol. Lianpo Yin exhibits pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory activity， regulation of apoptosis， modulation of mitochondrial autophagy， regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal （HPA） axis， promotion of gastrointestinal motility， improvement of the gastric mucosal barrier， regulation of intestinal flora and their metabolites， and antimicrobial activity. In modern clinical practice， this prescription is mainly used to treat digestive system diseases such as chronic superficial gastritis and Helicobacter pylori （Hp）-associated gastritis. Additionally， it demonstrates significant therapeutic effects on various diseases affecting the nervous， respiratory， dermatological， and cardiovascular systems. This study provides a detailed review of the ancient literature records， chemical components， pharmacological effects， and clinical applications of Lianpo Yin and its modified formulas， aiming to offer references for the dosage form development and broader clinical application of this classic prescription.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of foodborne disease outbreaks in Wuhan from 2006 to 2023, and to provide a scientific basis for the development of foodborne disease prevention and control measures. MethodsDescriptive statistical analyses were performed on foodborne disease outbreaks confirmed by the district and municipal center for disease control and prevention (CDC) in Wuhan from 2006 to 2023, and the attack rate and case fatality rate were calculated as well. ResultsA total of 182 foodborne disease outbreaks were reported in Wuhan from 2006 to 2023, with a cumulative of 2 820 cases. Among which, 3 cases were dead, with an annual average attack rate of 1.22% and a case fatality rate of 0.11%. The highest number of outbreaks occurred in collective canteens (43.96%, 80/182), the highest attack rate was observed in catering facilities (11.03%), and the highest case fatality rate was found in households (1.45%). Among the foodborne disease outbreaks with identified etiologies, microbial factors were the leading causes (36.26%, 66/182), with the main pathogens being norovirus, Bacillus cereus, and other unspecified bacteria. Fungal factors were mainly attributed to poisonous mushrooms, with a relatively high fatality rate of 2.22% (2/90). Outbreaks caused by bacterial factors were more common in the central urban area (30.28%, 33/109), while fungal-related outbreaks were more frequent in the outlying urban areas (24.66%, 18/73). ConclusionCollective canteens are the main venues for foodborne disease outbreaks in Wuhan. Microbial factors are the main pathogenic factors, and poisonous mushrooms are the leading causes to death. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision on collective canteens, carry out various forms of public awareness campaigns on poisonous mushroom poisoning, and, if required, cooperate with the gardening department to eradicate wild poisonous mushrooms in the green belts. A collaborative cooperation involving multiple departments is essential to reduce the occurrence of foodborne disease outbreaks.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the research history, hotspots and development trends of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease（GERD）based on knowledge graph technology, and to provide references for clinical and basic research in this field. METHODS: The literature of acupuncture and moxibustion for gastroesophageal reflux disease was searched from the CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and SinoMed, from the establishment of the databases to December 31th, 2023. CiteSpace 6.2.R6 Advance was used to draw the knowledge graph of authors, institutions, keywords and other elements, and then perform the visual analysis. RESULTS: A total of 341 articles were included, with the number of publications showing an upward trend and the research types continually diversifying. A total of 832 authors and 308 institutions were analyzed, with XIE Sheng from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of CM and BAI Xinghua from the Beijing University of CM as representative figures, forming core research teams. However, there was a lack of close collaboration between institutions, and no significant cross-regional research networks had been formed. A total of 192 keywords were included, forming 8 cluster labels, which mainly included 4 categories：treatment methods, disease types, TCM syndrome types, and literature types. The burst analysis showed that the methods of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease had gradually become more integrated, the treatment methods had transitioned from simple acupuncture therapy to combined therapies with proton pump inhibitors or TCM decoctions, the disease types had become more refined, the focus of mechanism research had shifted from lower esophageal sphincter pressure and esophageal motility to changes in gastrointestinal hormone levels, and the research hotspots had gradually shifted from improving clinical symptoms to considering both mental and psychological states. Twenty-three high-frequency acupoints were obtained, forming 8 clusters of "acupuncture techniques-acupoints" for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease with acupuncture and moxibustion, indicating a gradual enrichment of acupuncture and acupoint treatment protocols. CONCLUSION The research on acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease has gradually deepened, in the future, the cooperation among research teams should be strengthened, the quality of clinical research should be improved, more multi-dimensional mechanism research and horizontal comparative research of different acupuncture and moxibustion methods should be made, to provide a basis for clinical promotion and deeper exploration.

tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs)—small RNA fragments derived from transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)—fall into the category of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs). They can be categorized into two major types: tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) and tRNA-derived stress-induced small RNAs (tiRNAs). With the rapid advancement in high-throughput sequencing technologies and bioinformatics, tsRNAs have been involved in a variety of biological processes, including gene expression, signal transduction, and epigenetic inheritance, while also playing a significant role in tumor progression. The efficacy of radiotherapy is primarily affected by radiation-induced damage to normal tissues and the resistance of tumor cells to radiotherapy. It has been found that tsRNAs plays a significant role in radiation-induced cellular damage, as well as the modulation of radiation sensitivity and resistance. This highlights their potential as promising therapeutic targets in radiotherapy for tumors. This study reviews the origins, classification, biological functions of tRFs, as well as the advances in research on their role in tumor formation and progression and their applications in radiotherapy for tumors. This study aims to explore the research value of tRFs and their potential for application in radiotherapy for tumors.

ObjectiveTo analyze the surveillance results of foodborne diseases in Wuhan to investigate the temporal, spatial, and demographic distribution of foodborne disease in Wuhan, so as to provide an evidence for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases. MethodsData were collected through the foodborne disease surveillance network system and analyzed statistically. Stool, blood, rectal swabs, and vomitus samples from some diarrhea cases were collected for pathogens detection, including Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and norovirus. ResultsA total of 14 733 cases of foodborne diseases were reported in Wuhan from 2019 to 2022, with a male-to-female ratio of 1∶0.92. The highest incidence was 3.58 per 10 000 person-years in 2019 and the lowest was 2.19 per 10 000 person-years in 2020. The peak incidence occurred from June to October. Higher incidence rates were observed in central districts such as Jiang’an District, Wuchang District, and Caidian District. The age group with the highest incidence was 20‒29 years, while the age group with the highest total pathogen detection rate was 0‒9 years old. The affected population primarily included middle school students, household workers, and unemployed individuals, and children living at home. Suspected food sources were mainly vegetarian, other miscellaneous foods, and animal-based food. Of the 3 499 biological samples collected, 1 820 of them was conducted a detection for norovirus, the overall detection rate of pathogenic bacteria was 22.89% (801/3 499), with detection rates of Salmonella and Escherichia coli at 19.23% (673/3 499) and 3.03% (106/3 499), respectively. The detection rate of norovirus was 4.12% (75/1 820). The detection rate of pathogenic bacteria in biological samples of the patients who consumed infant food, milk, and egg-based foods was higher, at 53.33% and 42.93%, respectively. In terms of detected pathogens, the highest detection rate of Salmonella was found in the biological samples of patients who consumed infant food, milk, and egg-based foods, the highest detection rate of Escherichia coli was found in the biological samples of patients who consumed milk, egg, and animal-based foods, while Vibrio parahaemolyticus and norovirus had higher detection rates in patients who consumed beverages and alcoholic drinks. Suspected food sources were often found in food services, retail or farmer products markets, and homemade food. Salmonella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and diarrheagenic Escherichia coli were detected more frequently from June to September, while norovirus was detected more frequently in winter and spring. ConclusionThe population aged between 0‒29 years in Wuhan is the key high-risk group for foodborne diseases. Salmonella, diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, and norovirus are the main pathogens causing foodborne diseases in Wuhan. Market supervision departments should focus on strengthening the regulation of infant food.

Inflammation-driven endothelial dysfunction is the major initiating factor in atherosclerosis, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report that the non-canonical stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-PKR-like ER kinase (PERK) pathway was significantly activated in both human and mice atherosclerotic arteries. Typically, STING activation leads to the activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)/p65, thereby facilitating IFN signals and inflammation. In contrast, our study reveals the activated non-canonical STING-PERK pathway increases scaffold protein bromodomain protein 4 (BRD4) expression, which encourages the formation of super-enhancers on the proximal promoter regions of the proinflammatory cytokines, thereby enabling the transactivation of these cytokines by integrating activated IRF3 and NF-κB via a condensation process. Endothelium-specific STING and BRD4 deficiency significantly decreased the plaque area and inflammation. Mechanistically, this pathway is triggered by leaked mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) via mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), formed by voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) oligomer interaction with oxidized mtDNA upon cholesterol oxidation stimulation. Especially, compared to macrophages, endothelial STING activation plays a more pronounced role in atherosclerosis. We propose a non-canonical STING-PERK pathway-dependent epigenetic paradigm in atherosclerosis that integrates IRF3, NF-κB and BRD4 in inflammatory responses, which provides emerging therapeutic modalities for vascular endothelial dysfunction.

Objective:To explore the relationship between weight change and metabolic control of type 2 diabetic patients after 1 year treatment under the standardized metabolic disease management model.Methods:From November 2017 to November 2021, 950 patients with T2DM in the Standardized Metabolic Management Center of Suzhou Municipal Hospital were recruited in this research, who were divided into normal(BMI 18.5-23.9 kg/m 2), overweight(BMI 24.0-27.9 kg/m 2), and obese(BMI≥28 kg/m 2)groups according to baseline BMI. The metabolic indicators and control rates were compared. The overweight and obese 599 patients were divided into weight reduction(<-3 kg), maintenance(-3-1 kg) and gain(>1 kg)groups according to weight changes by one year, and metabolic indicators and control rates were compared to analyze the influence of weight change on metabolic control of overweight and obese patients. Results:(1) The overweight and obese groups had worse metabolic control at baseline and the obese group was younger. After 1 year, the metabolic indicators of three groups were significantly improved. (2) After 1 year, the metabolic control was better in weight reduction group and worse in weight gain group. The control rates were increased in weight reduction and maintenance groups. (3) For every 1 kg reduction in body weight of overweight and obese patients, blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure and comprehensive control rate increased by 1.206, 1.046, 1.069 and 1.107 times, respectively. There was a positive linear relationship between weight reduction and metabolic improvement.Conclusion:Standardized metabolic disease management model promotes metabolic control in type 2 diabetic patients, especially in overweight and obese patients who actively lose weight. In the future we should strengthen the management of overweight and obese patients, enhance self-management ability, and manage body weight scientifically and effectively.
