Objective:
To identify research priorities on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a theoretical base for improving their physical and mental health.
Methods:
In May 2025, 77 experts in the fields of health and education from 11 cities in Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling method to participate in the first round of expert consultation. In June, 2025, snowball sampling was used to expand to 194 experts for the second round of consultation, and it was convenient to select 21 students from primary schools to high schools in Zhejiang Province and 29 parents to empower the evaluation criteria. It applied the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method in a structured process, which encompassed the definition of the research field, generation of research ideas, scoring, and quantitative ranking of priorities. Research ideas were evaluated against 6 predefined criteria: effectiveness, safety, answerability, feasibility, sustainability, and scientific significance.
Results:
After 2 rounds of structured consultations, 81 research ideas on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents were established and classified into 7 subthemes: epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors, optimization of primary service systems and policies, comprehensive intervention strategies for physical and mental comorbidity, biological mechanisms and clinical research, the impact of education and environment on physical and mental health, special populations and social support, and digital and technology driven disease prevention and intervention. The top 10 research priorities primarily centered on the subdomain of "epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors" (5 items). The top 3 research priorities were "the association between outdoor activity duration and the incidence of common diseases (including mental disorders) among children and adolescents" "the impact of outdoor activity duration on the physical and mental health of adolescents" "comprehensive intervention strategies for myopia, obesity, and their comorbidities among children and adolescents".
Conclusion
The framework of priority issues in the field of psychosomatic comorbidity of children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province based on CHNRI method provides a reference for optimizing the allocation of provincial research resources.

ObjectiveTo investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of Qingfei Paidu decoction (QFPDD) on acute lung injury (ALI) in mice and its underlying molecular mechanisms based on miRNA sequencing technology. MethodsTwenty-four 4-week-old male KM mice were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, and a QFPDD group (n = 8 per group). After one week of acclimatization, mice in the control and model groups were intragastrically administered ultrapure water (0.2 mL per dose), whereas mice in the QFPDD group were intragastrically administered QFPDD (1.6 g crude drug/mL, 0.2 mL per dose), twice daily for 8 consecutive days. On days 2–8, mice in the model and QFPDD groups were exposed to aerosolized lipopolysaccharide (LPS) solution (2.5 g/L, 4 mL per exposure) for 7 consecutive days. On day 9, blood was collected via the retro-orbital venous plexus under deep anesthesia, and lung tissues were harvested. Body weight and lung weight were measured, and the lung coefficient was calculated. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. Lung histopathological changes were observed by HE staining of paraffin-embedded sections. miRNA expression profiles in lung tissues were analyzed using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform. Target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted using bioinformatics databases, and functional enrichment analysis of these target genes was performed using gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases. Differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed a consistent body weight growth trend but a significantly increased lung coefficient (P < 0.01). ELISA results showed that serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly elevated in the model group compared with the control group (P < 0.01), whereas QFPDD treatment significantly reduced serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels compared with the model group (P < 0.05). HE staining showed that, compared with the control group, the model group exhibited widened alveolar septa, massive inflammatory cell infiltration, partial alveolar expansion, and mild capillary dilation with congestion. In contrast, the QFPDD group showed only slightly widened alveolar septa and mild inflammatory cell infiltration compared with the model group. Intersection analysis of miRNA sequencing data identified 13 differentially expressed miRNAs common to both the model vs. control and QFPDD vs. model comparisons. Among them, 6 miRNAs (mmu-miR-203-3p, mmu-miR-181b-5p_R-1, hsa-miR-4286_R+1, mmu-miR-1843b-5p_L+1R-1_2, mmu-miR-22-3p, and mmu-miR-1964-3p) were significantly up-regulated in the model group (P < 0.05) and significantly down-regulated after QFPDD treatment (P < 0.05), showing a therapeutic reversal trend. GO analysis revealed that the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly enriched in biological processes such as RNA polymerase Ⅱ transcriptional regulation. KEGG analysis indicated that target genes were mainly enriched in signaling pathways including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. RT-qPCR validation result for mmu-miR-203-3p was consistent with the sequencing analysis results. ConclusionQFPDD may exert preventive and therapeutic effects against ALI by regulating the expression of mmu-miR-203-3p and other miRNAs, thereby modulating inflammatory responses and the MAPK signaling pathway and participating in the pathological process of lung injury.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal patients with rheumatoid arthritis and establish a prediction model for early identification.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 128 postmenopausal patients with rheumatoid arthritis who visited Northwest Women′s and Children′s Hospital from May 2021 to December 2023. According to their bone mineral density, the patients were divided into the osteoporosis group (T-score ≤-2.5, n=16) and the non-osteoporosis group (T-score >-2.5, n=112). Clinical data of the two groups were compared. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of various indicators. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to screen the influencing factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and a Nomogram model for predicting the risk of osteoporosis in such patients was established. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model. Results:The age, Disease Activity Score 28 based on Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS28-ESR), β-cross-linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the osteoporosis group were higher than those in the non-osteoporosis group, while the bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae t1-4, left hip, right hip, serum calcium, and estradiol (E 2) levels were lower (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that DAS28-ESR was negatively correlated with bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae t1-4 ( r=-3.026, P=0.002), left hip ( r=-3.409, P<0.001), and right hip ( r=-4.125, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=4.697, 95% CI: 2.509-8.795), DAS28-ESR ( OR=4.889, 95% CI: 2.611-9.154), β-CTX ( OR=4.816, 95% CI: 2.572-9.018), LH ( OR=4.998, 95% CI: 2.669-9.357), and FSH ( OR=4.802, 95% CI: 2.565-8.991) were risk factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis (all P<0.05); bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae t1-4 ( OR=0.203, 95% CI: 0.108-0.381), left hip ( OR=0.214, 95% CI: 0.114-0.401), right hip ( OR=0.211, 95% CI: 0.113-0.396), serum calcium ( OR=0.199, 95% CI: 0.106-0.372), and E 2 ( OR=0.210, 95% CI: 0.112-0.383) were protective factors (all P<0.05). The Nomogram model for predicting osteoporosis in postmenopausal patients with rheumatoid arthritis had a sensitivity of 0.86(95% CI: 0.73-0.92), a specificity of 0.83(95% CI: 0.72-0.95), and an area under the curve of 0.918(95% CI: 0.865-0.973). Conclusions:Age, DAS28-ESR, β-CTX, LH, FSH, bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae t1-4, left hip, right hip, serum calcium, and E 2 are related to osteoporosis in postmenopausal patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The established prediction model is helpful for early identification of the risk of osteoporosis.

Objective:
The impact of prophylactic salpingectomy on the prevention of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unclear, particularly in Asian populations where data is lacking. In this systematic review and meta-analysis study, we sought to assess whether prophylactic salpingectomy could reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer in the general population of multiple ethnicities.
Methods:
A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to assess the effectiveness of salpingectomy, bilateral salpingectomy (BS), and unilateral salpingectomy (US) in reducing the risk of EOC and evaluating postoperative outcomes.
Results:
The final analyses included 6 eligible trials (5,747,056 patients), including 1 cohort study and 5 case-control studies. The analyses of these studies demonstrated that women who underwent salpingectomy had a significantly reduced risk of EOC compared to those who did not receive salpingectomy (odds ratio [OR]=0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.45–0.89; p=0.007). Five studies (5,746,469 patients) indicated a significant reduction in EOC risk among patients who underwent BS (OR=0.48; 95% CI=0.33–0.69; p<0.001).On the other hand, in the analysis of 4 studies (5,745,887 patients) that examined US, the association with EOC risk was not significant despite the protective trend (OR=0.82; 95% CI=0.64–1.06; p=0.12).
Conclusion
Our results indicate BS is an effective strategy for reducing the risk of sporadic EOC, but the results did not lead to the same conclusion for patients who underwent US. When a candidate or patient is undergoing a hysterectomy or has other benign diseases, prophylactic BS may be a safe surgical procedure that carries future benefits in terms of EOC risk.
