Objective: To investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Yangzhou City, and its association with screen behaviors, so as to provide scientific evidence for weight management among students. Methods: In May 2025, an electronic questionnaire survey was conducted among children and adolescents in Yangzhou City. A total of 3 722 participants were selected from grades 4 to 12 in 18 primary and secondary schools (108 classes) by using stratified cluster random sampling. The Chi square test was used to compare the differences in the detection rates of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with 5 types of screen behaviors (watching TV, playing electronic games, scrolling short videos, screen based learning, electronic socializing) in different time groups each day (never, >0~<2 h, ≥2 h). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the associations of five types of screen behaviors, presence of electronic devices in the bedroom, and screen use during meals on the weight status of children and adolescents. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents was 37.3%. For all five types of screen behaviors, the differences in the distribution of overweight and obesity detection rates among children and adolescents across the three time spent categories were statistically significant ( χ 2=30.76- 70.78 , all P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that frequent or always using screens during meals( OR =1.63, 95％ CI =1.14~2.31), playing video games ( OR =1.28, 95% CI =1.11-1.48), browsing short videos ( OR =1.29, 95％ CI=1.09-1.54), and screen based learning ( OR =1.26, 95％ CI =1.10-1.44) were significantly associated with overweight and obesity among children and adolescents (all P <0.05). Conclusions Excessive screen use is positively correlated with the incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Targeted interventions on screen behaviors among children and adolescents are therefore warranted.

OBJECTIVES: To develop an E-selectin-targeting nanomedicine delivery system that competitively inhibits E-selectin-neutrophil ligand binding to block neutrophil adhesion to vessels and suppress their recruitment to the lesion sites. METHODS: Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX)-loaded liposomes (IEL-Lip/DOX) conjugated with E-selectin-affinity peptide IELLQARC were developed using a post-insertion method. Two formulations [2-1P: Mol(PC): Mol(DPI)=100:1; 2-3P: 100:3] were prepared and their modification density and in vitro release characteristics were determined. Their targeting efficacy was assessed in a cell model of LPS-induced inflammation, a mouse model of acute lung injury (ALI), a rat femoral artery model of physical injury-induced inflammation, and a zebrafish model of local inflammation. RESULTS: The prepared IEL-Lip/DOX 2-1P and 2-3P had peptide modification densities of 4.76 and 7.57 pmoL/cm², respectively. Compared with unmodified liposomes, IEL-Lip/DOX exhibited significantly reduced 48-h cumulative release rates at pH 5.5. In the inflammation cell model, IEL-Lip/DOX showed increased uptake by activated inflammatory endothelial cells, and 2-1P exhibited a higher trans-endothelial ability. In ALI mice, the fluorescence intensity of IEL-Lip/Cy5.5 increased significantly in lung tissues by 53.71% [Z-(2-1P)] and 93.41% [Z-(2-3P)], and 2-1P had an increased distribution by 24.19% in the inflammatory lung tissue compared to normal mouse lung tissue. In rat femoral artery models, 2-1P had greater injured/normal vessel fluorescence intensity contrast. In the zebrafish models, both 2-1P and 2-3P showed increased aggregation at the site of inflammation. CONCLUSIONS This E-selectin-targeting nanomedicine delivery system efficiently targets activated inflammatory endothelial cells to increase drug concentration at the inflammatory site, which sheds light on new strategies for treating neutrophil-mediated inflammatory diseases and practicing the concept of "one drug for multiple diseases".

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), the most commonly-occurring form of hearing loss, is caused mainly by injury to or the loss of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons in the cochlea. Numerous environmental and physiological factors have been shown to cause acquired SNHL, such as ototoxic drugs, noise exposure, aging, infections, and diseases. Several programmed cell death (PCD) pathways have been reported to be involved in SNHL, especially some novel PCD pathways that have only recently been reported, such as ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis. Here we summarize these PCD pathways and their roles and mechanisms in SNHL, aiming to provide new insights and potential therapeutic strategies for SNHL by targeting these PCD pathways.

Objective:To investigate the morphological changes and immunophenotypic characteristics of eosinophilic coarse granules in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells of breast adenosis, and their clinicopathological significance.Methods:A total of 64 cases containing eosinophilic coarse granules in the cytoplasm of breast epithelial cells admitted to the Department of Pathology of the Seventh Medical Center of People′s Liberation Army General Hospital and the Department of Pathology of Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University for admission and consultation from December 2019 to August 2023 were collected. The distribution and morphological characteristics of eosinophilic coarse granules in the epithelial cytoplasm in 64 cases of breast adenosis were observed. Some cases underwent immunohistochemical staining of lysozyme, α-antitrypsin, α-antichymotrypsin, cathepsin D, EMA, panCK, ER, PR, AR, GCDFP-15, Syn, CgA, NSE, CD68, S-100, anti-mitochondrial antibody, p63, and SMA; and some cases were stained with mucicarmine, and AB-PAS histochemical staining before and after amylase digestion.Results:The eosinophilic coarse granules in the breast epithelial cytoplasm of 64 cases were seen accidentally, of which most (43 cases) were located in adenosis adjacent to the intraductal papilloma. By HE sections, eosinophilic coarse granules were found with diffuse distribution in the cytoplasm, which were round in varying sizes, pink-bright red, and with a certain degree of refractivity. The size of the coarse granules could be divided into three types: small, medium and large. The medium to large granules were more prominent in the lesions. The eosinophilic coarse granules were all positive for lysozyme, α-antitrypsin, α-antichymotrypsin, cathepsin D, EMA and S-100. ER and PR were all nonclonal positive in glandular epithelial cells. Histochemical stains for PAS were all positive before and after digestion of amylase. AR, GCDFP-15, Syn, CgA, NSE, CD68 and anti-mitochondrial antibodies were all negative; mucicarmine and AB staining were also negative.Conclusions:The morphological characteristics and immunophenotype of cytoplasmic eosinophilic coarse granules in the epithelial cells of breast adenosis are the same as those of zymogen granules, their existence may be a non-specific morphological change, representing a metaplasia of breast epithelial cells. Positive results for lysozyme, antichymotrypsin, etc. cannot be considered evidence of specific cell differentiation. For the diagnosis of acinar cell carcinoma, it should be combined with morphological characteristics, immunohistochemical characteristics, etc. to make a comprehensive analysis.

Objective:To explore the effect of short-term mindfulness behavior training on body image, negative emotions and mindfulness level of pregnant women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) .Methods:From October 2020 to October 2021, 50 RSA pregnant women admitted to the Department of Gynecology of Wuxi Woman and Enfants Care Hospital were selected as the study subject using convenience sampling. Pregnant women were divided into an intervention group and a control group using a random number table method, with 25 cases in each group. During the research process, two cases were lost in the intervention group and two cases in the control group, and 46 cases were ultimately completed, with 23 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the intervention group received a 4-week mindfulness behavior training on this basis. Body Image in Pregnancy Scale (BIPS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were used to evaluate the effect of intervention.Results:After intervention, the BIPS, SAS, SDS scores of pregnant women in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group, while the MAAS scores were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Short-term mindfulness behavior training can improve the body image and negative emotions of pregnant women with RSA, and can improve the level of mindfulness attention awareness.

Objective:Explore the establishment of a fast, stable and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for detecting the level of m6A modification in RNA and its application.Methods:The degree of m6A in RNA can be expressed as the ratio of m6A and adenosine (A) in concentration, which can be determined by ESI source positive ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The established method was verified by analyzing three quality control samples (m6A: 4, 40, 400 nmol/L; A: 40, 400, 4 000 nmol/L) with three different concentrations of low, medium, and high. The method was used to detect the degree of m6A in RNA from mouse spleen T cells treated in different ways. The t test was used to compare the differences between the two groups of data. Results:The established method had a good Linearity ( R2>0.99) in a range of 1-500 nmol/L for m6A and 10-5 000 nmol/L for A. The limit of detection (LOD) was 1 nmol/L for m6A and 10 nmol/L for A. The recoveries were between 98.9% and 116.5%. The intra-day ( n=5) RSDs and the inter-day ( n=15, 5 days) RSDs were 2.4%-9.5% and 4.4%-9.6%, respectively. And this method was used to detect the degree of m6A in the RNA from mouse spleen T cells cultured in different conditions. The results showed that the m6A modification level in the RNA of primary CD8 +T cell was 0.271 5±0.017 9, and the m6A modification level in the RNA of primary CD8 +T cell with IL-27 was 0.251 7±0.015 0, indicating that primary CD8 +T cells have a higher level of RNA methylation. Conclusion:This research has established a fast, simplemethylation degree in RNA with HPLC-MS/MS. This method is easy to be popularized and is suitable for the detection of large quantity of samples, and of great significance in analyzing the relationship between methylation and diseases.
