Efficient drug response prediction is crucial for reducing drug development costs and time, but current computational models struggle with limited experimental data and out-of-distribution issues between in vitro and in vivo settings. To address this, we introduced drug response prediction meta-learner (metaDRP), a novel few-shot learning model designed to enhance predictive accuracy with limited sample sizes across diverse drug-tissue tasks. metaDRP achieves performance comparable to state-of-the-art models in both genomics of drug sensitivity in cancer (GDSC) drug screening and in vivo datasets, while effectively mitigating out-of-distribution problems, making it reliable for translating findings from controlled environments to clinical applications. Additionally, metaDRP's inherent interpretability offers reliable insights into drug mechanisms of action, such as elucidating the pathways and molecular targets of drugs like epothilone B and pemetrexed. This work provides a promising approach to overcoming data scarcity and out-of-distribution challenges in drug response prediction, while promoting the integration of few-shot learning in this field.

ObjectiveTo analyze the hygienic status of tableware cleaning and disinfection in 41 catering facilities of Shanghai in 2020, to identify its influencing factors, so as to propose evidence-based improvements for future scientific supervision. MethodsA field survey was conducted on the cleaning and disinfection methods of tableware in 41 catering establishments in Shanghai. A total of 180 tableware samples were collected and tested for four indicators, including free residual chlorine, anionic synthetic detergent residues, coliforms, and total number of bacterial colonies. The results were classified and statistically analyzed based on the type of catering establishment, tableware material, tableware function, and cleaning and disinfection methods. ResultsThe tableware passed the tests for coliforms and free residual chlorine. The qualification rate for anionic synthetic detergent residues was 48.89% (88/180), with an average of 0.02 mg per 100 cm² and a maximum of0.25 mg per 100 cm² (This unit complied with the requirements of national standardard: GB 14934—2016). Based on the type of catering enterprises, large restaurants had the lowest qualification rate for anionic synthetic detergent residues in tableware at 46.15%. In terms of the function of tableware, chopsticks had the lowest qualification rate for anionic synthetic detergent residues at 26.32%. The detection rate of total number of bacterial colonies in tableware was 42.22% (76/180), with an average of 0.5 log10 (CFU·mL⁻¹) and a maximum of 3.4 log10 (CFU·mL⁻¹). Among them, medium-sized restaurants had the highest detection rate of total number of bacterial colonies in tableware at 47.73% (21/44). ConclusionThe qualification rate of anionic synthetic detergent residues in tableware is relatively low.It is recommended to strengthen research on the occurrence patterns of unqualified tableware and establish early warning values for the qualification rate of anionic synthetic detergent residues, enhance law enforcement inspections on relevant catering establishments, guide enterprises to fulfill their main responsibilities, and improve the quality and safety of tableware.

Objective:
To explore the prevalence of screening myopia and depressive symptom among primary and secondary school students in Xuzhou, and to explore the association of sleep and screen time on the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptom, so as to provide scientific references for developing intervention strategies to address the development of myopia and promote mental health in children and adolescents.
Methods:
From September to October 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 6 605 students in grade 4 to 12 in 2 urban and 2 suburban districts in Xuzhou. The students health condition and influencing factors questionnaire were used to assess students basic information, sleep time, and screen time. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to assess primary and secondary school students depressive symptom.Unaided distance visual acuity examination was conducted, and refractive assessment was performed using an automated refractometer without cycloplegic agents. The Chi-square test and multiple Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the association of sleep and screen time with the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptom.
Results:
The detection rates of screening myopia, depressive symptom, and screening myopia and depressive symptoms co morbidity among primary and secondary school students in Xuzhou were 60.35%, 4.45% and 18.61% respectively. Results from the multinomial Logistic regression analysis, using the healthy group as the reference and after adjusting for confounding factors, showed that students with insufficient sleep duration were more likely to have depressive symptom ( OR=1.57, 95%CI =1.08-2.27) and the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptom ( OR=1.85, 95%CI =1.45-2.36). Students with daily screen time≥2 h were more likely to have depressive symptom only ( OR=1.41, 95%CI =1.04-1.93) and the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptom ( OR=1.31, 95%CI =1.06-1.61). Further stratified analysis based on sufficient and insufficient sleep duration revealed that only in the insufficient sleep duration group, students with daily screen time≥2 h had an increased risk of depressive symptom only ( OR=1.49, 95%CI =1.07-2.07) and the coexistence of screening positive myopia and depressive symptom ( OR=1.40, 95%CI =1.11- 1.77 ) (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Primary and secondary school students with insufficient sleep duration and daily screen time≥2 h have higher risks of depressive symptoms and the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptoms. It is recommended to ensure adequate sleep duration and limit screen time for children and adolescents.

9.Effectiveness of online and offline health education myopia intervention on primary school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(11):1720-1723
Objective:
To assess the effectiveness of online and offline myopia prevention and control health education interventions using wearable behavior monitoring tools for non myopic elementary school students,so as to provide evidence based medical support for public health practices.
Methods:
From May to June in 2021, two schools were selected within the same county in Jiangsu Province. School 1 conducted online and offline parental health education ( n =111), while school 2 exclusively conducted offline health education activities, representing the traditional intervention group ( n =122). Students from both schools underwent monitoring through wearable behavior tracking tools, with feedback reports provided (eye distance, eye duration, ambient light, and outdoor exposure time). Both schools relied on activities to carry out health education interventions, and organized the distribution of promotional materials and display boards. The intervention group also established WeChat groups to conduct online "Healthy Parents Action" (answering and providing feedback on health knowledge related to myopia prevention and control, myopia prevention and control, science popularization, etc. raised by parents). Evaluation criteria included myopia rates, post dilation refractive error, and axial length, with a tracking period of two years (from 2021 to 2023). Additionally, the study collected refractive parameters from non myopic students who did not participate in wearable tool monitoring in the 12 classes across the two schools.
Results:
The baseline results indicated that there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of refractive parameters and wearable tool monitoring results (including screen time, viewing distance, outdoor exposure time, and homework light exposure)( t/Z/χ 2=1.94,1.17,0.58,0.40,0.80,0.69,0.32, P >0.05). After a two-year follow up, in the first and second year, the myopia rate of the online Healthy Parents Action group (11.4%, 29.7%) were lower than that of the traditional group (26.2%, 50.9%), and the degree of refractive change in the intervention group [0.63(0.38,1.19)D] was lower than that of the traditional group [0.91(0.40,1.50)D], and all the differences were statistically significant( χ 2/ Z =4.93,10.37,2.29, P <0.05). However, there were no significant differences ( P >0.05) in axial length changes between the two groups over the twoyear intervention period. Nevertheless, in the second year, the axial length change in the traditional group [0.35(0.20,0.65)mm] was lower than that in the natural observation group [0.55(0.30,0.75)mm], and this difference was statistically significant ( Z =1.92, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Online and offline myopia prevention and control health education can effectively reduce myopia rates. The intervention mode combining wearable behavior monitoring tools with online health education may have better effects, but further large sample and multi center studies are needed to provide additional evidence and confirmation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the pollution level of deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat flour and its products sold in Shanghai, and to assess the health risks of DON exposure for residents in Shanghai who ingested DON from wheat flour and its products. MethodsRisk monitoring data of DON in wheat flour and its products sold in Shanghai from 2017 to 2021 were combined with the consumption data of wheat flour and its products by Shanghai residents. A probabilistic assessment method was used to assess dietary exposure of DON in wheat flour and its products. ResultsThe overall detection rate of DON in wheat flour and its products was 77.3% (1 041/1 347), with a mean concentration of 226.3 μg·kg-1, P50 of 130.0 μg·kg-1 and a maximum value of 3 080.0 μg·kg-1. The mean daily exposure and 95th percentile daily exposure (by body weight) of DON from wheat flour and its products in Shanghai residents were 0.279 μg·kg-1 and 1.146 μg·kg, accounting for 27.9% and 114.6% of the daily tolerable intake of DON TDI, 1 μg·kg, respectively. The probability assessment results indicated that 6.1% of the whole population in Shanghai had DON exposure exceeding the TDI value. Among them, 12.8% of the population aged 6 years old and below, 16.4% of the population aged between 7 and 17 years old, 3.9% of the population aged between 18 and 59 years old and 3.2% of the population aged 60 years old and above exceeded the TDI value for daily DON exposure through wheat flour and its products. ConclusionCertain populations in Shanghai may face certain health risks from daily DON intake wheat flour and its products. Special attention should be paid to the health risk of daily DON exposure through wheat flour and its products for individuals age below 18 years old .
