Objective:
To explore sex difference in the cardiovascular health (CVH) status of 6-8 year old children in Beijing, so as to inform the early intervention of CVH related lifestyles.
Methods:
Based on the Beijing Children s Growth and Health Cohort (PROC), baseline physical examination, sequential questionnaire survey, and laboratory tests were conducted among 1 914 grade 1 students. Children s CVH and its subscales (health behaviors and health factors) scores were calculated according to the Life s Essential 8 (LE 8) index and categorized into high, moderate, and low CVH. CVH scores were reported as medians and interquartile ranges; sex differences were compared using the Chi square test and Wilcoxon test.
Results:
Among the 1 914 participants, the percentages of high, moderate, and low CVH were 35.7%, 63.5%, and 0.8%, respectively, and the percentages of high, moderate, and low health behavior scores were 25.9%, 67.5%, and 6.6%, respectively, with no statistically significant differences between sex ( χ 2=2.30, 0.07, P >0.05). The rates of high, moderate, and low health factor scores for boys and girls were 61.1%, 36.0%, 2.9% and 71.1%, 28.4%, 0.5%, respectively, with a statistically significant sex difference ( χ 2=31.88, P < 0.01). The overall CVH score was 76.0(70.0, 83.0), 76.0(69.0, 82.0) for boys, and 77.0(71.0, 83.0) for girls. Among the health behavior metrics, sleep scores were the best and physical activity scores were the worst[100.0(90.0,100.0), 40.0(20.0, 80.0 )]; among the health factor metrics, blood glucose scores were the best and lipid scores were the worst[100.0(100.0,100.0), 60.0(40.0,100.0)]. In respect to health factors, there were significant gender differences in body mass index, blood lipids, blood sugar, and blood pressure scores ( Z =-6.92, 3.01, -6.60, -2.30, <0.05), but there were no significant gender differences in diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, or sleep scores with regards to health behaviors ( Z =0.99, 0.88, -0.13, 0.36, P > 0.05 ). Compared to boys, girls in the low and moderate CVH groups had high health factor scores despite low health behavior scores.
Conclusion
Most 6 to 8-year-old children in Beijing were found to have relatively good CVH, and optimization of children s CVH status can be achieved by promoting healthier lifestyles and monitoring health factors, especially among boys.

School is a densely populated place, which can easily lead to tuberculosis clusters, then affect the physical and mental health of students and the normal teaching order of school. Tuberculosis latent infection (LTBI) screening for new students and close contacts of tuberculosis patients has become important parts of school tuberculosis prevention and control strategies. Previous studies have shown that the LTBI rate of Chinese in-school students is about 5.74% to 11.67%, and there are differences in gender, studying phase and urban-rural distributions. Preventive treatment is an effective measure to prevent LTBI from developing into active tuberculosis, but the proportion of LTBI preventive treatment for students in most areas is low. The difficulties in implementing preventive treatment may be attributed to concerns about adverse reactions to medication and sense of shame towards illness among students, and lack of awareness about preventive treatment among medical staff. This review searches the research literature published from 2016 to 2023, and summarizes the prevalence of LTBI in Chinese students and progress on preventive treatment, so as to provide insights into prevention and control of tuberculosis among students.

The theory of “rhythmic equilibrium” is developed based on the idea of sharing the same laws between nature and human, and by integrating with the medical concept of homeostasis of calm yin and sound yang. "Rhythmic instability" runs through the entire process of the occurrence and development of myopia, covering four aspects including imbalance of rhythm (high-risk period of myopia), imbalance of qi and blood (premyopia), imbalance of sinew-membranes (low myopia), and imbalance of essence and blood (high myopia). The treatment should focus on adjusting the rhythm and harmonizing situation, which can help balance yin and yang, and nourish the eye system. For high-risk period of myopia, adjusting sleeping time and increasing outdoor activities are stressed to adjust the rhythm in a timely manner. In the stage of premyopia, appropriate techniques of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) such as pressing needles can be added to harmonize qi and blood. In the period of low myopia, appropriate TCM techniques such as pressing needles and ear acupuncture are mainly used, supplemented by modified Danggui Buxue Decoction (当归补血汤) to soften tendons and unblock collaterals. During the period of high myopia, it is recommended to control the development of existing disease and put focus on nourishing essence and blood, usually with Zhujing Pill (驻景丸) or modified Siwu Wuzi Decoction (四物五子汤) to restore the stability of the eyes and the whole body.

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.

OBJECTIVE:To learn from the experie nce of post-marketing risk management of biopharmaceuticals in the United States,and to provide reference for post-marketing risk management of biopharmaceuticals in China. METHODS :By studying guidance documents and website information issued by FDA ,the risk management of biopharmaceuticals after marketing in the United States was analyzed. Taking infliximab as an example ,the specific implementation situation was introduced ,the management characteristics were summarized ,and the enlightenment and relevant suggestions were put forward for the risk management of biopharmaceuticals after marketing in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :The post-marketing risk management of biopharmaceuticals in the United States mainly includes two aspects as “risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS)”and “post-marketing study and clinical trials system ”. The latter included post-marketing requirement (PMR) and post-marketing commitment(PMC). Taking infliximab as an example ,since it was approved by FDA in August 1998,its manufacturer submitted REMS to FDA in 2009 and obtained approval ,and proposed post-marketing studies and clinical trials for five times. It can be seen that FDA has issued specific guidelines for post-marketing risk management of biopharmaceuticals to encourage multi-role participation in risk management , realize effective communication with patients , and continuously supervise the risk of biopharmaceuticals,so as to reduce the risk of the use of biopharmaceuticals. For biopharmaceuticals ,China has not yet formulated systematic and specific implementation rules and guidelines ,and there is still lack in post-marketing risk management. It is suggested that China can learn from the measures and system of post-marketing risk management of biopharmaceuticals in the United States ,involve stakeholders in post-marketing management ,enhance patients ’awareness of drug use risks through effective communication,and further improve the post-marketing research management system to guarantee patients ’safety of drug use.
