Objective: To understand the allocation and use of safety seats for preschool children and explore its related factors, so as to provide a scientific reference for promoting the usage of safety seats. Methods: A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 143 parents of preschool children aged 3 to 6 from six kindergartens in Shunyi District, Beijing from January 3 to 10, 2022. An online questionnaire survey was conducted to collect and evaluate the equipment and use of child safety seats in different characteristics of preschool children, as well as their scores of health beliefs. Multiple factor Logistic regression analysis was used to investigated the related factors of safety seat configuration and use. Results: The equipping rate and usage rate of safety seats for preschool children were 66.56% and 58.45%, respectively. The proportion of equipped and used safety seats for preschool children in core families (69.52%, 62.23%) were higher than that in large families (64.35%, 55.62%), only child families ( 72.39 %, 64.87%) were higher than non only child families (61.49%, 52.86%), and urban families (71.63%, 63.04%) were higher than rural families (52.31%, 45.51%) ( χ 2=9.23, 13.86; 41.72, 46.44; 101.96 ,76.97,all P <0.05) . As the educational level of parents ( χ 2 trend =154.23,98.76) and annual income of the family ( χ 2 trend =155.78,127.69) rised, the reporting rates of the equipped and used child safety seats in the family also increased(all P <0.05 ). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of different dimensions of health beliefs for the provision ( t =-20.22-18.16) and use ( t =24.32-24.17) of safety seats for preschool children(all P <0.05). After adjusting for child sex, child age, family annual income, parental education level, family type, whether the child was an only child, and place of residence，multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preschool children with higher perceived susceptibility score( OR =1.11, 1.08), higher self efficacy score( OR =1.23, 1.33), and higher suggestive factors score( OR =1.08, 1.12) were more likely to have and use safety seats in their families, while preschool children with higher perceived impairments score( OR =0.82, 0.80) were less likely to have and use safety seats in their families (all P <0.05). Conclusions The installation rate of child safety seats needs to be improved, and there is also a certain gap in their use after installation. Parents of preschool children should improve susceptibility and self efficacy to safety seat equipment and use, and perceptual barriers should be reduced.

With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

Objective: To understand the current status and related factors of oral health behavior in preschool children, so as to provide scientific basis for improving parents oral health care abilities. Methods: From March 5 to 12, 2024, using a stratified cluster sampling method, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of 1 381 preschool children aged 3-6 from 6 selected kindergartens of a district in Beijing. A structural equation model (SEM) was constructed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior framework to analyze the factors associated with preschool children s oral health behaviors. Results: The rates of parental assistance in brushing teeth, regular oral examination, and postprandial rinsing were 44.4%, 18.6% and 23.6%, respectively. Attitude, subjective norms were positively correlated with oral health behavior intention ( r =0.61, 0.55); attitude, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention were positively correlated with oral health behavior ( r =0.14, 0.13, 0.16) (all P < 0.01 ). The results of the SEM showed that attitude and subjective norms had a significant direct effect on oral health behavior intention ( β = 0.42 , 0.40), and the direct effect of perceived behavioral control on oral health behavior was statistically significant ( β =0.42) (all P <0.01). Conclusions The overall level of oral health behavior among preschool children needs to be improved. Perceived behavioral control is the most direct positive related factor of oral health behavior. In the future, intervention measures should focus on perceived behavioral control as the entry point and provide systematic intervention guidance in combination with planned behavior theory.

Background: and Purpose Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIA) are associated with a mortality rate of up to 40% in the Chinese population, highlighting the critical need for targeted treatment interventions for at-risk individuals. Although the impact of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene mutations on susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (IA) is well documented, the potential connection between ALDH2 rs671 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RIA remains unexplored. Given the increased prevalence of ALDH2 gene mutations among Chinese Han individuals, it is clinically relevant to investigate the link between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and IA rupture. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 546 patients diagnosed with IA to investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and the risk of IA rupture. Results: The ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*2) was significantly more prevalent in patients with unruptured IA (UIA) than in those with RIA (32.56% vs. 18.58%, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the ALDH2 mutation (ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 gene type) had a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR=0.49; 95% confidence level [CI] 0.27–0.88; P=0.018) for RIAs. Age-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the ALDH2 mutation provided a stronger protective effect in individuals aged 60 years and above with IA compared to those under 60 years old (OR=0.38 vs. OR=0.52, both P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of RIA was significantly higher in individuals with a normal ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*1/*1) than in those with an ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*1/*2 or ALDH2*2/*2). ALDH2 rs671 SNP may serve as a protective factor against RIA in the Chinese Han population.

Objective To investigate the effect of programmed death receptor-1(PD-1)/pro-grammed death receptor-ligand-1(PD-L1)inhibitor combined with chemotherapy on gastrointestinal function and inflammatory markers in peripheral blood of patients with advanced gastric cancer(AGC).Methods The clinical data of 128 AGC patients treated in our hospital from February 2022 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,and they were divided into control group(64 cases re-ceived conventional chemotherapy)and study group(64 cases received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treat-ment+conventional chemotherapy)according to different treatment schemes.The short-term curative effect,gastrointestinal function level and inflammatory markers in peripheral blood before and after three cycles of treatment were recorded between the two groups,and the adverse reactions of the two groups were counted.Results The objective response rate(ORR)and disease control rate(DCR)in the study group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After three cycles of treatment,the levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP)and somatostatin(SS)decreased in both groups,while the levels of gastrin(GAS),motilin(MTL),and cholecystokinin(CCK)increased com-pared with those before treatment.The VIP and SS levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group,while the GAS,MTL,and CCK levels were higher(P＜0.05).After three cy-cles of treatment,the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR)decreased,and the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(LMR)level increased in both groups compared with those before treatment.The NLR and PLR levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group,while the LMR level was higher(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the study group and the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy for AGC can improve short-term efficacy,enhance gastrointestinal function,reduce NLR and PLR levels in peripheral blood,increase LMR levels in peripheral blood,and do not increase adverse reactions.The combi-nation therapy is relatively safe.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of aprepitant(Apr)reversing 5-Fluorouracil(5-FU)resistance in colorectal cancer(CRC)mouse model through endoplasmic re-ticulum stress(ERS).Methods Thirty mice were selected as experimental animals.Five mice were randomly assigned to control group,and the remaining 25 mice underwent subcutaneous injection in the back to establish the HCT-116/5-FU CRC mouse model.These mice were then divided into the CRC group,5-FU group,Apr group,Apr+5-FU group and Apr+ERS inhibitor Tauroursodeoxychol-ic acid(TUDCA)group,with five mice in each group.Changes in body weight and tumorigenesis in mice were recorded,and their organ indicators were calculated.Western blotting(WB)was used to detect the protein expression levels of protein kinase R-like ER kinase(PERK),eukaryotic initiation factor 2 subunit α(eIF2α),activating transcription factor 4(ATF4)and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)in each group.Results At 5,10,15 and 20 d after medication,there were no statistically significant differences in body weight among CRC,5-FU,Apr,Apr+5-FU and Apr+TUDCA groups,neither in time points nor in interactions(P＞0.05).Two days after the last administration,there was no significant difference in the indexes of thymus,lung,liver,spleen,heart,kidney and other organs among all groups(P＞0.05).Compared with CRC group,the protein expression levels of PERK,P-EIF2α/eIF2α,ATF4 and CHOP in Apr group and Apr+5-FU group were significantly increased,the number of tumors was significantly decreased,the tumor mass was significantly de-creased,and the tumor volume was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the improvement of Apr+5-FU group was better than that of other groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Apr can enhance chemotherapy sensitivity and reverse chemotherapy resistance in CRC mice,which may be mediated by downstream molecules of ERS pathway.

Objective The study aimedto investigate the effects and metabolic mechanisms of Gegen Qinlian Decoction(GQD)containing serum on hypoxia-induced glucose metabolism in L02 cells.Methods The effects of five hypoxia durations(6,12,18,24,and 48 hours)on glucose consumption and cell viability of L02 cells were examined under hypoxic conditions to determine the optimal hypoxia time.Normal hepatocytes served as the normal control group.L02 cells with hypoxia-induced reduction in glucose consumption were divided into several groups:hypoxia group,metformin 2 mmol/L group,and 25 g/kg GQD groups treated with 5%,10%,and 15%GQD contain-ing serum.Glucose consumption was used as an indicator of drug efficacy.High-resolution liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS)was employed to collect metabolite signals from each group.Data were analyzed by using Progenesis QI software,and potential biomarkers were identified through online databases such as HMDB.Finally,metabolic pathways of potential biomarkers were analyzed via the Metabo Analyst 5.0 website.Results An 18 hour hypoxia period was identified as the optimal duration for the replication of the hypoxia-induced L02 cell model.GQD containing serums at 5%and 10%significantly increased glucose consumption in hypoxia-induced L02 cells after 18 hours.14 biomarkers of hypoxia-induced L02 cells were identified,with the levels of 13 biomarkers significantly increased and 1 biomarker significantly decreased.GQD containing serum notably regulated the levels of 3 biomarkers.Conclusion GQD containing serum might improve hypoxia-induced abnormal glucose metabolism in L02 cells and enhance glucose consumption by modulating glycero-phospholipid metabolism,glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis,and sphingolipid metabolism.

To investigate the phenotype and genomic characterization of a mucoid-type Salmonella Saintpaul ST50 isolate from a urinary tract infection patient,promoting clinical diagnosis and treatment for urinary tract infections caused by Salmo-nella spp.Culture-based quantitative counts of midstream urine sample from the patient were conducted,and further biochemi-cal identification,mass spectrometry detection,serum agglutination test and antimicrobial susceptibility test(AST)were con-ducted on Salmonella isolate(2024JD5).Whole-genome sequencing(WGS)was performed on isolate 2024JD5 to predict sero-type,multilocus sequence type(MLST),resistance genes,and virulence genes.Two smooth-type of Salmonella Saintpaul ST50 were selected as comparative genomic reference strains from the Chinese local Salmonella genome database.The literature reviews of global Salmonella serotype of urinary tract infection were summarized.Specific serum agglutination confir-mation of isolate 2024JD5 failed due to characterization of the mucus type.The strain 2024JD5 was predicted as Salmonella Saintpaul(4,5,12:e,h:1,2)ST50 using WGS,and was resistant to ciprofloxacin,nalidixic acid,chloramphenicol and tetracy-cline with carrying aminoglycoside resistance genes aac(6')-Ⅰaa and aph(3)-Ⅱa,chloramphenicol resistance gene floR,tetra-cycline resistance gene tet,quinolone resistance gene qnrS1,and S83Y substitution in the gyrA gene was found in the quinolo-ne resistance determination region(QRDR).In addition,the strain 2024JD4 carried six types of non-plasmid-based mobile ge-netic elements and 144 virulence genes,including 71 secretion transporter genes and 58 fimbriae adhesion genes,respectively.Four types of fimbriae regulatory genes(csgB,csgC,fimW,fimY)were absent in comparison with smooth-type Salmonella Saintpaul.The literature reviews showed Salmonella Saintpaul was currently a rare Salmonella serotype in cases of urinary tract infections worldwide.Salmonella Saintpaul ST50 with mucoid-type is the pathogen of urinary tract infection with multi-drug resistant phenotypic and genotypic characteristics,and the high mucoid expression may be related to the compensatory mechanism of fimbriae regulatory genes absence in urinary tract colonization and adaptation.WGS combined with the Chinese local Salmonella genome database can effectively solve the diagnosis and biosafety assessments of rare Salmonella phenotypes.

The pathogenesis of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy(PDPN)is very complicated and tricky treat,which seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients.TCM has certain advantages in treating PDPN,but lacks theoretical guidance centered on pathogenesis.The dynamic evolution of the pathogenesis of PDPN fits the theory of"deficient-qi induced stagnation".PDPN is mainly characterized by pain,with prolonged pain entering the collaterals.This article discussed the pathogenesis of PDPN from the theory of"deficient-qi induced stagnation"based on collateral disease.Among them,the"deficient qi"is mainly responsible for the deficiency of qi,blood,yin and yang,and the collaterals are not be nourished;"stagnation"includes the pathological state of qi stagnation,phlegm and stasis caused by the abnormal movement of qi,blood and body fluid,and the obstruction of collaterals."Deficient qi"and"stagnation"interact with each other to promote the progress of PDPN.The article concluded that the key point of treatment is to regulate the deficiency qi(tonify deficiency)and remove stagnation and clear collaterals(smooth the stagnation),which could provide a new diagnosis and treatment idea and theoretical basis for the clinical differentiation and treatment of PDPN.
