Objective:To investigate the 10-year incidence of reproductive system malignancies and their associated risk factors among overweight and obese women with different metabolic phenotypes aged 40 years and older in Guiyang City.Methods:A total of 6 444 female residents in Yunyan District, Guiyang City were included from the 2011 " Epidemiological Study on the Risk of Malignancy in Chinese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(REACTION)". Based on body mass index(BMI) and the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome(MetS), participants were categorized into four groups: metabolically healthy normal weight(MHNW, n=2 373), metabolically unhealthy normal weight(MUNW, n=1 098), metabolically healthy overweight/obese(MHO, n=2 229), and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese(MUO, n=744). Baseline data were collected, and participants were followed up for 10 years to document the incidence of female reproductive system malignancies, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between metabolic phenotype and the 10-year risk of developing reproductive system malignancies. Results:Over a mean follow-up period of (9.89±0.77) years, the overall incidence of reproductive system malignancies was 1.15%(74/6, 444). Baseline characteristics such as age, BMI, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C), and triglycerides(TG) differed significantly among the groups( P<0.05). The cumulative incidence of reproductive system malignancies in each group was: MHNW 0.93%(22/2 373), MUNW 0.73%(8/1 098), MHO 1.57%(35/2 229), and MUO 1.21%(9/744). There were no statistically significant differences in incidence across the four groups( P>0.05). However, multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that, compared with the MHNW group, the adjusted HR (95% CI) were: MUNW 0.787(0.349-1.774, P>0.05), MHO 4.835(1.708-13.688, P<0.05), and MUO 3.719(1.144-12.089, P<0.05). Conclusion:Overweight and obesity are significant risk factors for reproductive system malignancies in women aged 40 and above. The presence of metabolic abnormalities in overweight or obese women further increases the risk of developing such malignancies.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of CGG repeat numbers in the FMR1 gene among reproductive-age women in China, providing data reference for carrier screening and genetic counseling of Fragile X syndrome. Methods:This cross-sectional study recruited 16 610 reproductive-age women from 12 medical institutions between July 2022 and October 2023. Peripheral venous blood samples (3 mL) were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted. The number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene was determined using the triplet-primed polymerase chain reaction (TP-PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis technology. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the prevalence and distribution of CGG repeat expansions. Results:Among 16 610 women of childbearing age, 5 684 (34.220%) women had the same number of CGG repeats in the two alleles of FMR1 gene, and 10 926 (65.780%) women had different numbers of repeats in the two alleles. Among the 33 220 FMR1 alleles in 16 610 women of reproductive age, the most common CGG repeat numbers were 29 [48.645% (16 160/33 220)] and 30 [26.276% (8 729/33 220)], while the most frequent CGG genotype was CGG 29/29 [24.726% (4 107/16 610)]. The CGG repeat numbers of FMR1 gene were normal in 16 498 women (99.326%). Among the 112 women (0.674%) with CGG repeat abnormities, 96 (0.578%) women were classified as intermediate carriers, 15 (0.090%) as premutation carriers, and 1 (0.006%) as a full mutation carrier, whose CGG genotype was (36, >200). Conclusion:In the general reproductive-age female population in China, the normal CGG repeat numbers of the FMR1 gene account for 99.326%, while the intermediate carrier rate is 0.578%, and the combined carrier rate of the premutation and full mutation types is 0.096%.

Nitrofurantoin(NFT)is a nitrofuran antibiotic commonly used as a veterinary drug to treat bacterial infections in animals.However,due to the low solubility and bioaccumulation properties,NFT is prone to leave excessive residues in animal-derived foods and water systems,posing serious threats to human health and ecosystems.Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop an efficient and rapid detection method for NFT.In this work,nitrogen-doped carbon nanomaterials with unique bowl-like structures(N-CNBs)were synthesized via a hydrothermal-carbonization method.The morphology,surface structure,and specific surface area of N-CNBs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy(TEM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).The N-CNB modified glassy carbon electrode(N-CNB/GCE)was prepared,and the electrochemical test revealed that the N-CNB/GCE exhibited higher conductivity and larger electrochemical active surface area compared to bare GCE and nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanosphere-modified electrode(N-HCNS/GCE).Additionally,the N-CNB/GCE demonstrated superior electrocatalytic activity toward NFT.An NFT electrochemical sensor was constructed based on N-CNB/GCE.The detection conditions of the sensor were optimized,and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV)was employed for NFT detection under optimal experimental conditions.The established NFT electrochemical sensor had a wide linear range of 0.4-500 μmol/L,a low detection limit(S/N=3)of 0.015 μmol/L and high selectivity,with excellent stability and reproducibility.The practical feasibility of this sensor was confirmed by analysis of NFT in milk and tap water samples,with spiked recoveries ranging from 94.2%to 108.9%.

The patient is a 63-year-old man with a history of chronic illness, presenting with intermittent low-grade fever, recurrent dry cough, and shortness of breath upon exertion. Lung CT showed a nodule in the left lung and a large mass in the right lung with liquefactive necrosis and an air-fluid level accompanied by pleural effusion. Laboratory findings showed significantly increasedf immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgG4, and total immunoglobulin E, along with a mild increase in eosinophils, and moderate elevations in erythrocyte sedimentation rate and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Malignant tumors, immunological, and hematological diseases were ruled out. Various antibiotic treatments were ineffective and the condition was recurrent. Conventional methods failed to identify the pathogen. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) technology was used to detect Mycobacterium monacense from lung tissue. Targeted antibiotic treatment was effective with no further episodes of low-grade fever and alleviation of dry cough symptoms. This case underscores the clinical significance of mNGS technology for the diagnosis and treatment of unexplained pulmonary infections, providing a useful reference for clinical diagnostic and treatment.

Objective:To construct a clinical decision-making ability indicator system based on evidence-based practice for pediatric nursing interns, and to provide a scientific basis for clinical teaching and evaluation.Methods:A method combining literature analysis, Delphi expert consultation, and empirical research was used. Firstly, a systematic search of Chinese and English databases (2018-2023) was conducted. Literature was screened based on the PICO framework and evidence-based data were extracted, resulting in a preliminary system consisting of 4 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators, and 39 tertiary indicators. Subsequently, the indicators were revised through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation (25 experts with 19-27 years of work experience). The expert authority coefficients (Cr) were 0.898-0.907 and the Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.351-0.420 ( P<0.001). Finally, the analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights, and the reliability and validity were verified through a questionnaire survey (sample size: 30 participants in preliminary survey and 58 participants in formal survey). Results:The constructed indicator system included 4 primary indicators (weights), 13 secondary indicators, and 42 tertiary indicators. The weights of the primary indicators were as follows: knowledge integration ability (0.300), evidence-based practice ability (0.250), clinical judgment ability (0.280), and ethical decision-making ability (0.170). The importance scores of all items exceeded 4.0 points (out of 5 points), and the coefficients of variation were less than 0.20. The reliability and validity tests showed that the Cronbach's α of the overall scale was 0.89, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.88. The cumulative variance contribution rate of exploratory factor analysis was 69.30%. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit with a comparative fit index of 0.93 and a root mean square error of approximation of 0.05. Conclusions:This indicator system has high scientificity and practicality, and can provide a reference for the standardized cultivation and evaluation of clinical decision-making ability of pediatric nursing interns. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen advanced evidence-based skills training and long-term application effectiveness tracking.
