Objective: To evaluate the implementation process of a school-family collaborative "online+offline" tobacco control intervention program in junior high school in Beijing and to explore the execution status, influencing factors and sustainability potential of the intervention, so as to provide evidence for optimizing youth tobacco control strategies. Methods: In November 2024, using the random number table method, four first year junior high school classes were selected from three schools each in Fengtai District, Tongzhou District, and Fangshan District of Beijing. One class served as the control group, while the other three classes were designated as intervention groups (one each for online intervention, offline intervention, and combined online offline intervention). The control group received only conventional education.The online intervention group was engaged in WeChat push interventions, including watching micro videos, viewing promotional materials, participating in online quizzes and mini games; the offline intervention group attended knowledge lectures, played peer games, and participated in offline knowledge competitions; the combined online offline intervention group integrated all the aforementioned online and offline intervention measures. The intervention period was from November 2024 to June 2025, spanning a total of 7 months. Based on the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model(PRISM) framework, a qualitative research design was employed to conduct semi structured interviews with 48 participants (12 in each of the intervention groups and 12 organizational staff members) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 3 districts and 3 sampled schools. The interview outlines were designed according to the intervention plan. Data was managed using Nvivo 12.0 software and analyzed following Colaizzi s seven step phenomenological analysis method. Theoretical saturation was assessed using a reserved subset of transcripts. Results: Four core themes were identified in the tobacco control intervention process. Overall fidelity of intervention implementation was largely consistent with the original plan, and students showed strong willingness and positive evaluations toward interactive formats such as knowledge contests and peer games, though occasional breakdowns in school-family communication and blurred boundaries between online and offline components were observed; the participants showed a polarized response in terms of satisfaction and participation, most students and parents recognized the significance of the activity, and some parents observed a reduction in smoking behavior; the implementation of internal tobacco control policies in the school was strict, and the atmosphere was favorable, but there was still room for improvement, such as the scarcity of community tobacco control activities and the difficulty in implementing smoke free units; implementation and sustainability infrastructure were preliminarily established, such as through homeroom teacher supervision and training student assistants to assisted in activities, while the sustainability support system required further refinement. Conclusion The school-family collaborative "online+offline" tobacco control intervention has demonstrated significant positive effects, but further optimization of activity design, enhancement of community reward mechanisms, and standardized training are required to improve the efficacy and sustainability of the intervention.

Objective To analyze the disease burden and trends of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992 to 2021.  Methods Using the GBD 2021 database, the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992–2021 were analyzed. Average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated using Joinpoint regression. Subgroup analyses by sex and age were conducted, and a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict trends in age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for the next 15 years.  Results In 2021, China reported 106 000 new cases (ASIR: 5.14/100 000), 571 000 prevalent cases (age-standardized prevalence rate, ASPR: 26.61/100 000), 43 000 deaths (ASMR: 2.34/100 000), and a DALY rate of 45.31/100 000. From 1992–2021, China showed upward trends in ASIR and ASPR but declines in ASMR and DALYs, while global ASIR, ASMR, and DALYs decreased overall with slow ASPR growth. The peak cases in China and globally were both concentrated in the 65-79 age group, with a significantly higher burden on males than females. In China, smoking-related ASMR and ASDR exceeded global averages and rose, whereas high glucose-related indexes were lower and declined. Projections for 2021–2036 indicated that the global incidence and mortality rates would be rising, but ASIR/ASPR would be declining, while in China, the incidence rate would continue to rise, and the mortality rate will stabilize, with a significant increase in ASIR and a gradual decrease in ASPR.  Conclusion From 1992 to 2021, the incidence of bladder cancer in China has shown a continuous upward trend and is projected to persist in the future, with significant gender and age differences. Particular attention should be given to elderly males aged 85-89. The disease burden of bladder cancer attributable to smoking continues to rise, highlighting the urgent need to strengthen tobacco control policies.

Cardiotoxicity induced by antineoplastic agents is an important factor affecting the prognosis of cancer patients. This article systematically summarizes the clinical manifestations of cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapeutic drugs, molecular targeted cancer therapies, and immunotherapeutic drugs, and identifies the core injury mechanisms, including cardiomyocyte apoptosis, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, anticancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity falls under the category of “heat toxins” characterized by dual deficiency of qi and blood, upward flaming of heart heat, stagnation of the heart vessels, and meridian obstruction induced by phlegm-dampness. Therefore, by reviewing the preventive and therapeutic effects and the underlying mechanisms of tonic medicines, interior heat-clearing medicines, blood-circulating and stasis-resolving medicines, phlegm-transforming, cough-suppressing and panting-relieving medicines, and interior-warming medicines, this paper concludes that TCM prevention and treatment of this condition adheres to the formulation principle of “reinforcing healthy qi, removing toxins, and resolving blood stasis”. Its mechanisms of action—including antioxidation effects, regulation of autophagic balance, antagonism of inflammatory responses, and improvement of microcirculation—are highly consistent with modern medical treatment strategies (e.g., dexrazoxane for inhibiting iron-dependent oxidative stress, statins for anti-inflammatory effects). This study provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the collaborative and precise prevention and treatment of anticancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity through the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Objective To analyze the infection status and epidemic trends of soil-borne nematode infections in Yubei, Chongqing City, in 2010,2021, and 2022. Methods The local populations from four survey sites of four towns in 2010 and five sites of five towns in 2021 and 2022 were surveyed regarding their basic information using a unified form. Fecal samples of the participants were collected and tested for soil-borne nematode infections using the modified Kato-Katz thick smear method. Results In 2010, 2 049 participants were surveyed, followed by 1 000 participants in 2021 and 2022. The overall prevalence of parasitic infections declined significantly from 3.86% to 0.20%. In 2010, soil-transmitted nematode included hookworms(3.81%) and roundworms(0.29%). In 2021, the infection rates of roundworms and hookworms were 1.70% and 0.10% respectively. Notably, only Ascaris was identified in 2022(0.20%). The≥60 age group consistently exhibited the highest infection rates across all surveys, followed by the 40-59 age group. The infection rates of males in the three surveys were 3.31%,1.92%, and 0.20% respectively, and those of females were 4.37%, 1.46%, and 0.20% respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the infection rates between males and females. Educational attainment was inversely associated with infection; in 2010, the highest prevalence was observed among those with primary education or below, whereas in 2021, illiterate or semi-literate individuals showed the highest susceptibility. The occupational distribution of infections in 2010 indicated that retirees (8.33%), farmers(4.86%), and homemakers or unemployed individuals(3.45%)were the most affected. However, in 2021 and 2022, farmers emerged as the predominant occupational group with soil-transmitted nematode infections. Conclusions The infection rate of soil-borne nematodes showed a decreasing trend in Yubei, and the infection species changed from hookworms in 2010 to Ascaris in 2022. Farmers, the elderly, and people with low education levels should continue to be the focus of preventive and control efforts.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of interleukin （IL）-8 secreted by tumor-associated macrophages （TAMs） in colorectal cancer （CRC） metastasis and its potential therapeutic value. MethodsThe TAMs model was constructed by phorbol ester （PMA） combined with IL-4/IL-13， and the model phenotype was verified by flow cytometry， RT-qPCR and ELISA. Human CRC HCT116 cells were treated with conditioned medium （CM） from M0 macrophages and TAMs， and the metastatic capacity of HCT116 cells was evaluated by wound-healing assay and Transwell assay. The expression levels of IL-8 in M0 macrophages and TAMs were detected by Western blot， RT-qPCR and ELISA. The expression level of epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） markers （E-cadherin， N-cadherin） in HCT116 cells treated with CM-M0 and CM-TAMs were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR. HCT116 cells were stimulated with CM-TAMs supplemented with IL-8 receptor inhibitor Reparixin. The HCT116 cells metastasis ability was evaluated by wound-healing assay and Transwell assay， and the expression levels of E-cadherin and N-cadherin were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR. Finally， a splenic injection liver metastasis model was established using murine CRC cells CT26-LUC， and the effect of Reparixin on this animal model was observed by in vivo imaging. ResultsFlow cytometry showed that the proportion of M2 macrophages （CD11b⁺CD206⁺ cells） was elevated in the TAMs model. RT-qPCR and ELISA assays revealed that the levels of M2 macrophage markers IL-10 and TGF-βsignificantly increased. Wound-healing assay and Transwell assay demonstrated that CM-TAMs significantly enhanced the migration and invasion ability of HCT116 cells. Western blot， RT-qPCR and ELISA assays showed that TAMs highly expressed IL-8 and simultaneously induced downregulation of E-cadherin and upregulation of N-cadherin in HCT116 cells. Reparixin not only reversed the pro-metastatic effects of CM-TAMs， but also upregulated the expression level of E-cadherin and downregulated that of N-cadherin in HCT116 cells. Furthermore， it reduced the bioluminescence signal intensity of liver metastatic lesions in the splenic injection liver metastasis model. ConclusionThe TAMs promote CRC metastasis by secreting IL-8 to induce EMT. Inhibiting IL-8 secretion in TAMs or blocking the binding of IL-8 to its receptor may provide a new strategy for CRC treatment.

Based on the modern understanding that lipid metabolism disorders mediate tumor microenvironmental imbalance in esophageal carcinoma， this paper proposes that failure of spleen and kidney warming and internal accumulation of phlegm-toxin constitute the core pathogenesis of esophageal carcinoma. Deficiency of spleen and kidney yang qi serves as the root cause， while impaired transformation and transportation of lipids and the accumulation of phlegm-toxin represent the superficial manifestations. Phlegm originates from the transformation of lipids， while toxin arises from and attaches to phlegm. Their interaction forms a sticky and persistent pathological state that runs throughout the entire disease process. The evolution of pathogenesis follows a dynamic and progressive pattern. In the early stage， failure of spleen and kidney warming and dysfunction of lipid metabolism mediate abnormalities in a lipid-enriched microenvironment； in the middle stage， lipid turbidity condenses into phlegm， and phlegm-toxin stasis promotes the formation of an inflammatory and hypercoagulable microenvironment； in the late stage， dysfunction of the sanjiao （三焦） warming function and impaired qi transformation lead to an imbalance in the hypoxic and metabolically dysfunctional microenvironment. Accordingly， a staged therapeutic approach is proposed， including warming the kidney and strengthening the spleen， transforming phlegm and resolving toxin， and warming and unblocking the sanjiao. By regulating lipid metabolism to restore tumor microenvironmental homeostasis， this approach provides a new theore-tical perspective and practical strategy for the intervention of esophageal cancer progression through traditional Chinese medicine.

As one of the common systemic vasculitides in children， IgA vasculitis is closely associated with the interaction of "Wind pathogen" and "turbid stasis" in its pathogenesis. Based on the blood turbidity theory， this paper proposes "wind agitating blood turbidity and collateral damage" as the core pathogenesis. Regarding treatment， the sequential therapeutic principle of "stanch bleeding， activating blood circulation， and nourishing blood" is adopted， and combined with the dynamic application of wind-dispelling medicinals to "expel， search， and guard against wind"， turbidity-removing method is applied throughout all stages. In the acute stage，it is recommended to clear heat and purify turbidity， stanch bleeding and secure the collaterals. In the prolonged stage， the method of dissipating stasis and clearing up turbidity should be used， as well as activating blood circulation and unblocking the collaterals. In the recovery stage， it is advised to nourish blood to flourish the collaterals， reinforce healthy qi and resolve turbidity. This therapeutic system integrates the elimination of pathogens and the reinforcement of healthy qi to clear and resolve blood turbidity， ultimately achieving holistic collateral repair through securing， unblocking， and nourishing the collaterals， which provides new insights into the treatment of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE To provide guidance for the individualized use of antiepileptic drugs （AEDs） in patients with epilepsy or bipolar affective disorder.METHODS Clinical data of patients with epilepsy or bipolar affective disorder who received AEDs treatment and underwent therapeutic drug monitoring （TDM） at Xi’an International Medical Center Hospital from January 2023 to December 2025 were retrospectively collected. The baseline information， characteristics of AEDs utilization， implementation status of TDM and laboratory parameters were summarized. Spearman correlation analysis， univariate analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis were performed to identify the independent influencing factors for blood concentrations of AEDs.RESULTS A total of 1 572 patients were enrolled， including 660 males and 912 females. The majority were aged ≥60 years （30.15%）； 71.76% of patients were on monotherapy with AEDs， with valproic acid being the most commonly prescribed （51.97%）； combination therapy was predominantly a two-drug regimen （26.21%）， while three-drug regimens were rare （2.04%）. A total of 2 901 blood samples for TDM were collected， with the highest number of samples for valproic acid and levetiracetam （1 987 and 684 samples， respectively）. TDM for all five drugs was primarily conducted once； among which， the blood concentrations attainment rates exceeded 50% for patients taking valproic acid and levetiracetam， while the median blood concentrations for patients taking lamotrigine， oxcarbazepine， and carbamazepine were all below the lower limit of the therapeutic reference range. Based on the results of Spearman correlation analysis， univariate analysis， and multivariate linear regression analysis， patient gender， platelet count （PLT）， alanine transaminase （ALT）， aspartate transaminase （AST）， and total bilirubin （TBil） were found to be independent factors influencing blood concentration of valproic acid （unstandardized coefficients were －6.770 7， －0.078 6， －0.099 4， 0.083 2， －0.578 9， P ＜0.05）， while age and creatinine （CRE） were found to be independent factors influencing blood concentration of levetiracetam （unstandardized coefficients were 0.108 7， 0.047 8， P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS Female gender and elevated AST levels are risk factors for increased blood concentration of valproic acid， while elevated PLT， ALT and TBil levels are associated with decreased blood concentration of valproic acid. Patients of advanced age and those with renal insufficiency bear a relatively high risk of in vivo levetiracetam accumulation.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of semaglutide （SEM） on myocardial injury induced by coronary microembolization （CME） in rats via the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） signaling pathway. MethodsThirty-two rats were randomly assigned to four groups （n=8）： the Sham group， the CME group， the CME + SEM group， and the CME + SEM + Compound C （CC， a specific inhibitor of AMPK） group. The CME model was established by injecting microembolic spheres into the left ventricle， while the Sham group received an equal volume of normal saline via left ventricular injection. The CME + SEM group received subcutaneous injections of SEM （1 mg/kg， once weekly） for 4 weeks before CME induction. For the CME + SEM + CC group， rats were treated with SEM for 4 weeks， followed by an intravenous injection of CC （0.25 mg/kg dissolved in sterile normal saline） 30 minutes before CME modeling. 24 hours post-modeling， all groups underwent the following assessments： echocardiography to evaluate cardiac function， HE staining for myocardial histopathological analysis， Heidenhain staining to quantify the microinfarct area， ELISA to determine serum cardiac troponin T （cTnT） levels， and Western blot analysis to detect the expression of proteins related to the AMPK/NLRP3 pathway in cardiac tissues. ResultsCompared with the Sham group， the CME group showed significantly deteriorated cardiac function， elevated serum cTnT levels， and a marked increase in myocardial microinfarct area （P<0.05）. Compared with the CME group， the CME + SEM group exhibited significant improvements in cardiac function， decreased cTnT levels， and a remarkable reduction in myocardial microinfarct area （P<0.05）. Histopathological analysis revealed a normal myocardial structure in the Sham group without infarction. In contrast， the CME group showed disorganized myocardial arrangement， accompanied by nuclear fragmentation and karyolysis. In the CME + SEM group， myocardial degeneration， edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were obviously alleviated. Compared with Sham group， the protein ratio of p-AMPK/AMPK slightly increased in the CME group， while the protein levels of NLRP3， gasdermin D-N domain （GSDMD-N）， apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD （ASC）， caspase-1 p20， interleukin（IL）-1β ， and IL-18 were markedly upregulated （P<0.05）. Notably， compared to the CME group， the CME + SEM group had a further elevated p-AMPK/AMPK ratio， while the protein levels of NLRP3， GSDMD-N， ASC， caspase-1 p20， IL-1β and IL-18 were markedly decreased （P<0.05）. ConclusionSEM significantly ameliorates CME-induced myocardial injury， and its mechanism of action may be closely associated with promoting AMPK phosphorylation， inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammatory responses， and suppressing pyroptosis.
