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.

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.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for kidney injury during anti-retroviral therapy (ART) with zidovudine (AZT) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) patients, and to construct and validate a prediction model for the risk of kidney injury in HIV/AIDS patients based on a nomogram.Methods:A total of 923 HIV/AIDS patients admitted to Liuzhou People′s Hospital between January 1st, 2004 and December 31st, 2020 were included in this study. The modeling set (647 cases) and the validation set (276 cases) were divided in a 7∶3 ratio. Risk factors were screened using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, and a nomogram prediction model for renal impairment risk in HIV/AIDS patients was constructed based on the selected variables. The model′s predictive performance was assessed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) using the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC curve). The performance of this model was evaluated using calibration curves. The clinical utility of the model was assessed using decision curve analysis (DCA).Results:Among 923 HIV/AIDS patients, there were 91 cases with kidney injury, including 67 in the modeling set and 24 in the validation set. AZT was used in 29 cases, and TDF was used in 62 cases. LASSO regression analysis was employed to screen seven non-zero variables, including age, ART regimen, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), baseline CD4 + T lymphocyte count, baseline human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA, baseline hemoglobin, and baseline aspartate aminotransferase (AST), their LASSO regression coefficient were 1.296, 0.250, 1.443, 0.240, 0.120, 0.395, and 0.002, respectively. Based on these variables, a visual nomogram model was constructed and subsequently validated. Through ROC curve analysis, the AUC for the modeling set was 0.826 (95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.767 to 0.884), with a sensitivity of 0.731 and a specificity of 0.809. For the validation set, the AUC was 0.872 (95% CI 0.807 to 0.956), with a sensitivity of 0.875 and a specificity of 0.778. The calibration curve results for the modeling set showed a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.012 and a consistency index of 0.826, while the validation set had an MAE of 0.021 and a consistency index of 0.872. These results indicated that the model had a high goodness-of-fit, excellent calibration performance, and was reliable and stable. When the risk threshold for the modeling set ranged from 2% to 73%, the model demonstrated favorable net benefits, indicating its excellent clinical utility. Conclusion:The nomogram-based risk prediction model for kidney injury in HIV/AIDS patients is constructed using seven variables including age, ART regimen, baseline eGFR, baseline CD4 + T lymphocyte count, baseline HIV RNA, baseline hemoglobin, and baseline AST, which provides a valuable tool for early identification of individuals at risk of kidney injury and supports timely clinical interventions.

The gradient coils of MRI equipment can induce vibrations in implantable medical devices, causing periodic vibrations of implantable medical devices with respect to the surrounding tissue. This not only results in instrument failure but also causes discomfort to the patient. Therefore, studying the vibration characteristics of implantable devices under different scanning sequences and the orientation of the device relative to the magnetic field is crucial for comprehending vibration performance. This study observed the vibration spectra of a full cranial bone-implanted neurostimulator by using laser vibrometry under typical rapid imaging sequences and explored the impact of different magnetic field orientations on vibration. The results demonstrated that the rapid echo sequences induced diverse and rich vibration components, whereas the planar echo sequences caused relatively simple vibrations. Additionally, the strongest vibrations normally occurred in the maximum conductive surface parallel to the phase-coded direction. It revealed the factors influencing the vibrations of skull fixation active implantable devices and provided guidance for enhancing device safety and protecting patient well-being during MR examinations.

Osteoarthritis (OA) causes chronic pain that significantly impairs quality of life, with current treatments often proving insufficient and accompanied by adverse effects. Recent research has identified the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and its resident macrophages as crucial mediators of chronic OA pain through neuroinflammation driven by macrophage polarization. We present a novel injectable thermo-sensitive hydrogel system, KAF@PLEL, designed to deliver an anti-inflammatory peptide (KAF) specifically to the DRG. This biodegradable hydrogel enables sustained KAF release, promoting the reprogramming of DRG macrophages from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory phenotypes. Through comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies, we evaluated the hydrogel's biocompatibility, effects on macrophage polarization, and therapeutic efficacy in chronic OA pain management. The system demonstrated significant capabilities in preserving macrophage mitochondrial function, suppressing neuroinflammation, alleviating chronic OA pain, reducing cartilage degradation, and improving motor function in OA rat models. The sustained-release properties of KAF@PLEL enabled prolonged therapeutic effects while minimizing systemic exposure and side effects. These findings suggest that KAF@PLEL represents a promising therapeutic approach for improving outcomes in OA patients through targeted, sustained treatment.

Episodic memory, our ability to recall past experiences, is supported by structures in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) particularly the hippocampus, and its interactions with fronto-parietal brain regions. Understanding how these brain regions coordinate to encode, consolidate, and retrieve episodic memories remains a fundamental question in cognitive neuroscience. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) methods, especially transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), have advanced episodic memory research beyond traditional lesion studies and neuroimaging by enabling causal investigations through targeted magnetic stimulation to specific brain regions. This review begins by delineating the evolving understanding of episodic memory from both psychological and neurobiological perspectives and discusses the brain networks supporting episodic memory processes. Then, we review studies that employed TMS to modulate episodic memory, with the aim of identifying potential cortical regions that could be used as stimulation sites to modulate episodic memory networks. We conclude with the implications and prospects of using NIBS to understand episodic memory mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for pneumonia complicating infectious mononucleosis(IM)in adults and construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 198 IM patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2015 to December 2021.Patients were divided into pneumonia group(n=52)and non-pneumonia group(n=146)based on whether pulmonary infection occurred during hospitalization.The baseline data(age,gender,place of onset,etc.),clinical manifestations(maximum body temperature,lymph node enlargement,splenomegaly,etc.),and inflammatory indicators[white blood cell count(WBC),C-reactive protein(CRP),etc.]were compared between the two groups.Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to analyze the key indicators affecting the hospital stay of IM patients.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for pneumonia complicating IM in adults and construct a nomogram prediction model based on the identified risk factors.The predictive efficacy of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the consistency of the model was assessed using the calibration curve.The fit of the model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Additionally,the sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of the model were assessed using confusion matrix.Results Compared with non-pneumonia group,the pneumonia group had a significantly higher proportion of patients from rural areas,with body mass index(BMI)≥24 kg/m2,smoking history,hepatomegaly,fever duration of≥7 d,as well as increased total hospitalization costs and average daily hospitalization costs,and prolonged hospital stay(P<0.05).The proportion of patients with a history of antibiotic use was lower in the pneumonia group(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients from rural areas,with BMI≥24 kg/m2,smoking history,no prophylactic use of antibiotics,fever duration≥7 d,and hepatomegaly had significantly prolonged hospital stays(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that living in a rural area(OR=4.089,P<0.05),hepatomegaly(OR=4.082,P<0.05),and elevated WBC(OR=1.205,P<0.05)were independent risk factors for pneumonia complicating IM in adults,while the prophylactic use of antibiotics(OR=0.142,P<0.05)was an independent protective factor.The area under the ROC curve of the constructed nomogram prediction model was 0.827(95%CI 0.762-0.892),and the slope of the calibration curve was close to 1,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed χ2=5.299,P=0.725,indicating good consistency and fit of the prediction model.The results of the confusion matrix assessment showed that the sensitivity of the model was 0.669(0.624-0.773),the specificity was 0.827(0.724-0.930),and the accuracy was 0.732(0.665-0.793).Conclusion The nomogram prediction model based on place of onset,hepatomegaly,the prophylactic use of antibiotics and WBC has excellent fit and discrimination,providing an effective quantitative tool for prognosis assessment of IM.

Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is a common and lethal manifestation of advanced gastric cancer, with a median survival of only 5-11 months. This consensus was developed by 30 experts from Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore) using the Delphi method and the GRADE evidence grading system. A total of 29 statements were formulated, covering the diagnosis and assessment of GCPM, indications for laparoscopic exploration and NIPS (normothermic intraperitoneal and systemic treatment), treatment regimens, prevention and management of complications, criteria for conversion surgery, and postoperative intraperitoneal therapy. The consensus aims to standardize clinical practice and improve the prognosis of patients with GCPM.

Objective Based on the transcriptome data of Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans L.Koch,SSR primers were designed and developed to evaluate the genetic diversity and analyze the population structure of the germplasm resources of S.mutilans,which can provide a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of the germplasm resources of S.mutilans.Methods We collected 301 samples of S.mutilans from major production areas,and analyzed the population genetic diversity and population structure of the germplasm resources of S.mutilans using 18 pairs of highly polymorphic SSR primers after screening.Results A total of 142 alleles were amplified by 18 primer pairs across all samples,with an average of 7.89 alleles amplified per locus.The mean of observed heterozygosity(HO)of the 18 populations was 0.39,the mean of expected heterozygosity(HE)was 0.46,the mean of polymorphism information content(PIC)was 0.41,the mean of Nei's gene diversity index(H)was 0.46,and the mean of Shannon information index(I)was 0.81.The results showed that the wild resources of S.mutilans collected in this study had a high level of genetic diversity,Four populations in Anhui and Zhejiang had higher genetic diversity than populations in Hubei.Molecular analysis of variance(AMOVA)of the population showed that most of the genetic variation in the materials of this study mainly occurred within populations.The STRUCTURE analysis of germplasm resources showed that all germplasm could be divided into four populations.Conclusion This study showed that the natural population of S.mutilans possesses high genetic diversity with high genetic variation and is better adapted to changes in the environment.Our results provided a research basis for the rational utilization of the germplasm resources of S.mutilans and the selection and breeding of superior varieties.
