Objective:
To assess the association of family food environment with dietary and nutrition literacy among junior and senior high school students, providing a basis for nutritional health education and adolescent nutritional improvement.
Methods:
From January 9 to February 10, 2025, a total of 1 473 junior and senior high school students aged 12-20 were recruited by using a cluster random sampling method combined with convenient sampling from 15 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) across China. Data on basic demographic characteristics, home food environment, and dietary and nutrition literacy were collected by using the Food and Nutritional Literacy Questionnaire for Chinese School age Children. Multiple linear regression and Logistic regression models were employed to analyze the association of the home food environment on adolescent dietary and nutrition literacy.
Results:
The total score of dietary and nutrition literacy among junior and senior high school students was (65.28±9.03). The score in the cognitive domain (67.59±10.56) was higher than that in the skill domain (60.74±9.15), and the score for food preparation skills (56.60±14.28) was the lowest. Students aged 16-20, senior high school students, those for only children, non boarding students, those with urban household registration, those from wealthier families, those whose primary caregivers were parents with higher education levels, and those who previously received nutrition and health education had significantly higher dietary and nutrition literacy scores compared to their respective counterpart groups ( t/F =-8.32, -8.14, 4.76, -2.70, 7.15, 18.29, 10.68, 11.66 , all P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that family food environment was associated with dietary and nutrition literacy, and the model was statistically significant ( R 2=0.20, F=20.54, P <0.05). Lower availability of fruits at home in the past month and lower frequency of family communication regarding dietary and nutrition were associated with lower dietary nutrition literacy scores among junior and senior high school students ( β =-1.35, -1.67, both P <0.01). Among junior and senior high school students, lower frequency of dining out with the family, watching videos during family meals, and being urged by parents to eat more food in the past month were associated with higher scores on dietary nutrition literacy ( β =1.35, 1.13, 0.71, all P <0.01). Logistic regression model results indicated that watching videos during family meals ( OR =1.70) and family communication regarding dietary and nutrition ( OR =0.51) were significantly associated with dietary and nutrition literacy levels (both P <0.05).
Conclusions
The score of dietary and nutrition literacy among junior and senior high school students is relatively low, and the family food environment is a key factor. It is recommended that nutrition education and improvement initiatives for junior and senior high school students prioritize attention on children and adolescents from households with less favorable food environments.

Retinopathy caused by myopia is the first cause of irreversible blinding eye disease in China.The TCM methods to prevent and control myopia mainly include Chinese materia medica and TCM appropriate techniques,which have the advantages of good efficacy,simple operation,and few adverse reactions.This paper believed that internal and external pathogenic factors act on the brain and eyes,breaking their homeostasis,leading to rhythmic disorders,and imbalance of essence,qi and blood is the main pathogenesis of myopia.Based on the idea of"nature and human in the same rhythm"and"the same treatment for common diseases",targeting the above pathogenesis,the method of"brain-eye synchronization"was proposed to restore the homeostasis of the brain and eyes to prevent and control myopia in children and adolescents,and the treatment rules were to regulate the rhythms of the time,harmonize the qi and blood,nourish the blood to soften the tendons,and replenish the essence and blood,so as to achieve the effect of brain-eye synchronization and the treatment of the spirit and the body together.This article summarized the theoretical basis of"brain-eye synchronization"and its clinical application in traditional Chinese and Western medicine,with a view to providing new ideas for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents.

Traditional Chinese medicine upholds the unity of nature and humanity as its fundamental principle,asserting that man is in harmony with heaven and earth and corresponds to the sun and moon.Human life processes align with the circadian rhythms of nature,exhibiting periodic temporal changes-concepts that Western medicine defines as biological rhythms.The"opening-closing-pivot"of the three yin and three yang meridians represents the primary mode of interaction between nature and humanity.This mechanism regulates the transformation of yin and yang to qi within the body,ensuring synchronization with the circadian rhythm.Building upon this foundation,the concept of"the harmony of rhythms and states"was proposed to explain human growth and aging."Rhythms"encompass not only circadian cycles but also the movement of qi and blood,as well as the contraction rhythm of muscle fascia,among other physiological processes."States"refer to the dynamic evolution and transformation of qi during the"opening-closing-pivot"stages in both time and space."Harmony"pertains not only to the individual physiological balance of"rhythms"or"states"but also to their coherent interaction.The fundamental cause of myopia is"the disharmony of rhythms and states",considering that rhythm disorders,qi and blood disorders,and fascia imbalances contribute to this disease.Based on this understanding,myopia prevention and treatment should center on"regulating rhythms and states",with adjusting the pivot to brighten the eyes as the core therapeutic principle throughout the entire cycle of myopia.Treatment should be tailored to different disease stages and supplemented with methods such as time-based regulation,qi and blood harmonization,tendon relaxation and collateral dredging,and essence and blood nourishment to prevent and manage myopia effectively.

Objective:To evaluate the application potential of the bimodal ultrasound/near-infrared (NIR) composite nanoscale probe Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)/Ag 2Te/perfluoropentane (PFP) @ mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) in the diagnosis and treatment of microvascular diseases. Methods:Nanoprobes loaded with RGD, PFP and Ag 2Te were prepared by ultrasound sonication and carbodiimide method. The characterization of the nanoprobes was determined. The imaging performance, photothermal response, and target-seeking ability of the nanoprobes under NIR irradiation were verified. The biosafety of the nanoprobes was examined, and the thrombolytic ability of the nanoprobes was evaluated. The mice were observed to visualize microvessels of the abdominal wall under the NIR-Ⅱ imaging, and the microvascular visualization ability of the nanoprobes was evaluated. Results:The particle size of nanoprobes was (205.3±2.9) nm and the potential was (2.05±0.58) mV. The coupling rate of the RGD was (82.27±0.36)%, the encapsulation rate of the quantum dots was (80.80±3.26)%, and the photostability of the quantum dots was good. The fluorescence intensity was enhanced with the increase of the mass concentration of RGD/Ag 2Te/PFP@MSN, and the warming effect was more obvious. After ultrasound and NIR irradiation, the thrombolysis rate was significantly increased. RGD/Ag 2Te/PFP@MSN successfully realized NIR-Ⅱ fluorescence imaging of mice microvessels. The cytotoxicity assay and hemolysis assay showed that the probe had a good biosafety. Conclusion:The RGD/Ag 2Te/PFP@MSN nanoprobe is a potential strategy for targeted therapy of thrombotic diseases, combining dual-modality therapy of ultrasound and NIR to offer new possibilities for non-invasive and visual diagnosis and treatment of microvascular embolism.

Objective:To explore the current status and training needs of nurses' knowledge, belief, and behavior regarding the good limb positioning in stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods:From November to December 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 1 708 nurses from 30 ClassⅢ hospitals in 17 provinces across the country, who worked in departments such as Neurology and Rehabilitation. The self-designed General Information Questionnaire, Knowledge, Belief and Behavior Questionnaire for Putting Good Limb Position in Clinical Nurses, and self-designed Training Status and Needs Questionnaire for Good Limb Positioning were used for online surveys. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of nurses' knowledge, belief, and behavior in good limb positioning.Results:A total of 1 622 valid questionnaires were collected. Nurses scored (135.64±25.93) on the Knowledge, Belief and Behavior Questionnaire for Putting Good Limb Position in Clinical Nurses, with the lowest score rate of 65.65% in the knowledge subscale and the highest score rate of 88.16% in the belief subscale. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, working years, department, and whether they received training were the influencing factors of nurses' knowledge, belief, and behavior in good limb positioning ( P<0.05). 92.23% (1 496/1 622) of nurses were willing to receive training on good limb positioning, and 70.10% (1 137/1 622) of nurses participated in training on good limb positioning. Conclusions:Nurses generally have a moderate level of knowledge, belief, and behavior towards the good limb positioning, with room for improvement in their knowledge and behavior. However, their belief is relatively positive. Nursing managers should actively carry out training on good limb positioning based on the different characteristics and needs of nurses, improve their ability to good limb positioning.
