OBJECTIVE To systematically review medication-related risk factors for falls in older adults, to provide references for ensuring medication safety among older adults. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CNKI for relevant literature published from database inception to November 1, 2025. Relevant studies on medication-related falls in older adults, both domestic and international, were included. Drug factors influencing falls in older adults were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 22 studies were included. Four major classes of fall-risk-increasing drugs were identified: psychotropic medications [12 studies, odds ratio (OR) range 1.500-5.790], cardiovascular system drugs (5 studies, OR range 1.236-4.784), analgesics (3 studies, OR range 1.500-4.490), and hypoglycemic agents (3 studies, OR range 2.070-2.751). Additionally, anticholinergic burden (1 study, OR was 2.610) and polypharmacy (7 studies, OR range 2.902-25.897 for the use of ≥4 medications) were identified as significant risk factors for falls. CONCLUSIONS Falls in older adults are significantly associated with psychotropic medications, cardiovascular system drugs, analgesics, and hypoglycemic agents, among which psychotropic medications pose the highest risk. Anticholinergic burden and polypharmacy are also important risk factors. In clinical practice, interventions should be implemented through deprescribing and risk monitoring to effectively reduce the risk of falls in older adults.
2.Research progress on the impact of dietary and sleep rhythm disruption on blood pressure among children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(3):448-451
Abstract
The prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents continues to rise with a trend toward earlier onset, presenting a phenomenon that cannot be fully explained by traditional risk factor frameworks. Circadian rhythm disruption, particularly the dual disturbance of dietary and sleep rhythms, has emerged as a novel risk factor and become a research hotspot. The review systematically summarizes the epidemiological associations, biological mechanisms, and intervention strategies regarding dietary rhythm, sleep rhythm, and their co exposure with blood pressure in children and adolescents. Future research needs to focus on Chinese pediatric populations through longitudinal cohort studies and randomized controlled trials to clarify causal relationships and regulatory mechanisms, thereby providing evidence based guidance for chronic disease prevention and control in children.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of different visual inputs and task conditions on balance function and lower limb biomechanical characteristics in children with spastic hemiplegia. MethodsFrom March to July, 2025, 30 children aged six to nine years old with spastic hemiplegia (hemiplegia group) and 30 healthy children (control group) were selected. A 2×2×2 mixed experimental design was employed, involving groups (hemiplegia vs. healthy), tasks (single-task vs. dual-task), and vision (eyes open vs. eyes closed). One week before test, they were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Wee Function Independent Measurement (WeeFIM) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-Ⅳ). A 3D gait analysis system and a plantar pressure testing system were used to collect spatio-temporal parameters of walking speed, stride length, cadence and step width, kinematic parameters of hip/knee/ankle joint angles, kinetic parameters of forefoot loading ratio, center of pressure (CoP) displacement, while dual-task cost (DTC) was caculated. ResultsSpatio-temporal parameters showed that under dual-task and eyes-closed conditions, walking speed and stride length decreased while step width increased in the hemiplegia group. Significant interaction effects among group, task, and vision were observed for speed, stride length, and step width (F > 4.886, P < 0.05). Kinematic parameters indicated that during dual-tasks, the hemiplegia group exhibited increased hip flexion and decreased ankle dorsiflexion; under eyes-closed conditions, knee flexion increased. The interaction of the three factors significantly affected all joint angles (F > 4.876, P < 0.05). Kinetic parameters showed that under dual-task and eyes-closed conditions, the forefoot loading ratio and anteroposterior CoP displacement decreased, while mediolateral CoP displacement increased. The interaction of the three factors significantly affected CoP displacement (F > 4.355, P < 0.05). All the DTC was significantly higher in the hemiplegia group than in the control group, except DTC of the cadence (|t| > 14.393, P < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed that the score of FMA-LE was strongly negatively correlated with DTC (|r| > 0.731, P < 0.01). The Functional Independence Measure for Children and Working Memory Index showed moderate negative correlations with the DTC of walking speed and cadence (|r| > 0.462, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe gait and balance of children with spastic hemiplegia are concurrently influenced by dual-tasking and visual input. The superposition of visual deprivation and dual-tasks significantly exacerbates gait abnormalities. Furthermore, is strongly correlated with motor function and working memory.

Objective:
To assess the effect of 12-year-old children s pit and fissure sealants on the health of first permanent molars, so as to provide evidence for optimizing caries prevention strategies among children.
Methods:
In March 2025, a cluster random sampling method was used to conduct oral examinations on 965 students aged 12 from Chengdu s 2021 Comprehensive Intervention Program for Pediatric Oral Diseases. Data from the Comprehensive Intervention System for Children s Oral Diseases were referenced. Participants were divided into a sealed group ( n =755) and an unsealed group ( n =210) based on whether they had received sealants on their first permanent molars. Chi square test or analysis of variance were used to compare indicators such as caries incidence, new caries detection rate, and new caries mean (DMFT increment) between the two groups
Results:
The sealed group showed significantly lower caries incidence, new caries detection rate, and new caries mean (33.38%, 17.65%, 0.59±1.00) compared to the unsealed group (43.81%, 24.70%, 0.87±1.22)( χ 2/F =7.79, 18.26, 9.55, all P <0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the filled teeth ratio between the two groups (20.38% , 20.16%; χ 2=0.01, P =0.94). In girls, the sealed group exhibited significantly lower caries incidence, new caries detection rate, and new caries mean (36.78%, 20.99%, 0.69± 1.10 ) than the unsealed group (57.55%, 33.52%, 1.15±1.29) ( χ 2/F =14.42, 23.76, 10.92, all P <0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed between boys in the sealed (30.47%, 14.85%, 0.50±0.89) and unsealed groups (29.81%, 16.18%, 0.59± 1.08) ( χ 2/F =0.02, 0.41, 0.74, all P >0.05). Boys had significantly lower new caries detection rates and new caries means than girls in both groups ( χ 2/F =16.20, 6.94; 29.93, 11.84, all P <0.05). In urban areas, the sealed group had lower new caries detection rates and new caries means (19.37%, 0.68±1.04) than the unsealed group (24.66%, 0.90±1.20) ( χ 2/F =6.86, 3.94, both P <0.05). In suburban areas, all indicators for the sealed group (24.71%, 13.77%, 0.42±0.87) were significantly lower than those for the unsealed group (38.81%, 24.77%, 0.82±1.28) ( χ 2/F =5.28, 15.36, 6.00, all P <0.05). Indicators from specialized dental institutions (11.25%, 4.81%, 0.16±0.56) were significantly lower than those from county level or above general hospitals (33.33%, 19.11%, 0.38±1.00) and primary healthcare institutions (37.59%, 19.24%, 0.67±1.05) ( χ 2/F =20.99, 34.31, 21.08 , all P <0.01).
Conclusions
The 12-year-old children s pit and fissure sealants effectively reduce the caries incidence in first permanent molars, particularly showing significant effectiveness in girls and suburban children. Intervention strategies should be optimized according to gender.

ObjectiveTo study the changing law of appearance color and physicochemical properties of Angelicae Sinensis Radix Carbonisata(ASRC) during the processing by color space method combined with statistical analysis, so as to provide reference for determining the processing endpoint and evaluating the quality of the decoction pieces. MethodsTaking processing time(4, 8, 12, 16 min) and temperature(180, 200, 220, 240 ℃) as factors, ASRC decoction pieces with different processing degrees were prepared in a completely randomized design. Then, the brightness value(L*), red-green value(a*), yellow-blue value(b*), and total chromaticity value (E*ab) of the decoction pieces were determined by spectrophotometer, the color difference value(ΔE) was calculated, and the data of colorimetric values were analyzed by discriminant analysis. At the same time, the pH, charcoal adsorption, and contents of tannins, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF), tryptophan, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H and ligustilide of ASRC with different processing degrees were determined by pH meter, ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography(UPLC). Principal component analysis(PCA) was used to analyze the data of physicochemical indexes, after determining the processing technology of ASRC, the canonical discriminant function was established to distinguish the decoction pieces with different processing degrees, and leave-one-out cross validation was conducted. Finally, Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between various physicochemical indexes and chromaticity values. ResultsWith the prolongation of the processing time, L*, a*, b* and E*ab all showed a decreasing trend, and the established discriminant model based on color parameters was able to distinguish ASRC with different processing degrees. The pH showed an increasing trend with the prolongation of processing time, and the charcoal adsorption, and the contents of tannins, 5-HMF, and tryptophan all showed an increasing and then decreasing trend. Among them, the charcoal adsorption, contents of tannin and 5-HMF reached their maximum values successively after processing for 8-12 min. While the contents of chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H and ligustilide decreased with the increase of processing time, with a decrease of 60%-80% at 8 min of processing. Therefore, the optimal processing time should be determined to be 8-12 min. PCA could clearly distinguish ASRC with different processing degrees, while temperature had no significant effect on the processing degree. The 12 batches of process validation results(10 min, 180-240 ℃) showed that except for 3 batches identified as class Ⅱ light charcoal, all other batches were identified as class Ⅲ standard charcoal, and the chromaticity values of each batch of ASRC were within the reference range of class Ⅱ-Ⅲ sample chromaticity values. The correlation analysis showed that the chromaticity values were negatively correlated with pH and charcoal adsorption, and positively correlated with contents of tryptophan, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H, and ligustilide. And both pH and charcoal adsorption were negatively correlated with the contents of the above components, but the charcoal adsorption was positively correlated with the content of 5-HMF. ConclusionThe chromaticity values and the contents of various physicochemical indicators of ASRC undergo significant changes with the prolongation of processing time, and there is a general correlation between chromaticity values and various physicochemical indicators. Based on the changes in color and physicochemical indicators, the optimal processing time for ASRC is determined to be 8-12 min. This study reveals the dynamic changes of the relevant indexes in the processing of ASRC, which can provide a reference for the discrimination of the processing degree and the quantitative study of the processing endpoint.
