Objective: To analyze the trajectories of blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) among primary and secondary school students aged 7-17 in Shunyi District of Beijing, and to explore the association between different growth trajectories and visual outcomes, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of common diseases in children and adolescents. Methods: Health examination data (including vision, blood pressure and BMI) of primary and secondary school students in Shunyi District of Beijing from 2019 to 2023 were collected and analyzed. Group based trajectory modeling was used to classify the trajectories of BMI and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) into distinct groups among students aged 7-17 years. The relationship between these trajectories and visual outcomes was examined using binary Logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of screening myopia among students in Shunyi District was 57.2%, while the rate of moderate to severe visual impairment was 55.8%. Based on the latent growth model, the trajectories of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and BMI were divided into three groups:low growth trajectory, moderate growth trajectory and high maintenance trajectory. Logistic regression analysis revealed that, compared to the low growth trajectory group, the moderate growth and high maintenance trajectory groups for systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and BMI were associated with an increased risk of screening myopia ( OR =1.14, 1.11; 1.07, 1.19 ; 1.06, 1.08, P <0.05). Similarly, the moderate growth and high maintenance trajectory groups for systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and BMI were similarly associated with an increased risk of moderate to severe visual impairment ( OR = 1.12 , 1.12; 1.09, 1.17; 1.08, 1.11, P <0.05). Conclusions Moderate growth and high maintenance trajectories of blood pressure and BMI are associated with an increased risk of screening myopia and moderate to severe visual impairment among students. It is recommended to closely monitor changes in blood pressure and overweight/obesity trajectories in primary and secondary school students, conduct regular assessments, and actively prevent the development and progression of multimorbidity and comorbidity.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study， which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group （120 cases） and a control group （120 cases）. The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets， and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision， DR progression rate， retinal microhemangioma， hemorrhage area， exudation area， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） level， and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment， and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity （BCVA） than the control group （P<0.05）. The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups， while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group （Z=-1.437， P<0.05） and the control group （Z=-2.238， P<0.05）， and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged， the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time， both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR， being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

OBJECTIVE To explore the practice and application effect of lean Six Sigma （LSS） management in the cost- benefit management of PIVAS operation in a tertiary comprehensive hospital （hereinafter referred to as “S Hospital”）， providing reference for the operation and management of PIVAS in hospitals. METHODS The five steps （define， measure， analyze， improve and control， i.e. DMAIC） of LSS management were implemented for PIVAS operation cost-benefit of S Hospital， and lean management was implemented for its cost-benefit management elements （human resource cost， medical and health material cost， and all-in-one parenteral nutrition preparation income）. Several intervention measures including personnel training and performance assessment， refined management system of consumables， and doctor’s advice package of full parenteral nutrition were developed. Finally， the overall improvement effect was evaluated by the total benefit， total cost and net benefit of PIVAS. The effects of human resource allocation optimization and improvement were evaluated by the work efficiency， work quality， job satisfaction， turnover rate and accumulated rest days. The effects of consumables cost management were evaluated by the amount of medical and health materials cost. The improvement effects of all-in-one parenteral nutrition preparation income were evaluated by the profit amount， quantity and the proportion of single bottle of parenteral nutrition. RESULTS After implementing DMAIC in S Hospital， the total benefit of PIVAS was increased from （471 366.50±9 201.5） yuan/month to （479 679.50±14 320.14） yuan/month （P＞ 0.05）， the total cost was decreased from （305 878.88±3 201.75） yuan/month to （294 610.59±5 007.33） yuan/month （P＜0.05）， and the net benefit of PIVAS was increased by 11.83% compared with that before the improvement. The work efficiency， work quality and job satisfaction of employees were significantly improved， the accumulated rest days were significantly reduced， and the turnover rate of third-party employees was reduced from 15.0% before the improvement to 7.5% after the improvement. The cost of medical and health materials significantly decreased from （67 826.42±2 812.76） yuan/month before improvement to （56 384.33±4 607.67） yuan/month after improvement （P＜0.05）. The quantity of all-in-one parenteral nutrition was significantly increased from （1 263.75±135.83） group/month before improvement to （2 061.25±89.04） group/month after improvement （P＜0.05）， and the proportion of users of single bottle of parenteral nutrition in total users decreased from 93.25% before improvement to 58.75% after improvement. The profit of all-in-one parenteral nutrition was 63.18% higher than that before implementing DMAIC. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of PIVAS operation cost-benefit management based on DMAIC is conducive to strengthening the cost control of PIVAS and promoting the healthy development of PIVAS.

Background: and Purpose This study aimed to investigate the association between residual inflammatory risk (RIR) and vulnerable plaques using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). Methods: This retrospective study included 70%–99% symptomatic ICAS patients hospitalized from January 2016 to December 2022. Patients were classified into four groups based on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C): residual cholesterol inflammatory risk (RCIR, hs-CRP ≥3 mg/L and LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L), RIR (hs-CRP ≥3 mg/L and LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L), residual cholesterol risk (RCR, hs-CRP <3 mg/L and LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L), and no residual risk (NRR, hs-CRP <3 mg/L and LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L). Vulnerable plaque features on HRMRI included positive remodeling, diffuse distribution, intraplaque hemorrhage, and strong enhancement. Results: Among 336 included patients, 21, 60, 58, and 197 were assigned to the RCIR, RIR, RCR, and NRR groups, respectively. Patients with RCIR (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.606; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.346–9.662; P=0.011) and RIR (aOR, 3.361; 95% CI, 1.774–6.368, P<0.001) had higher risks of strong enhancement than those with NRR. Additionally, patients with RCIR (aOR, 2.965; 95% CI, 1.060–8.297; P=0.038) were more likely to have intraplaque hemorrhage compared with those with NRR. In the sensitivity analysis, RCR (aOR, 2.595; 95% CI, 1.201–5.608; P=0.015) exhibited an additional correlation with an increased risk of intraplaque hemorrhage. Conclusion In patients with symptomatic ICAS, RIR is associated with a higher risk of intraplaque hemorrhage and strong enhancement, indicating an increased vulnerability to atherosclerotic plaques.

Background and Objectives: There is no dedicated occlusive device for closing coronary artery fistulas (CAFs), and specific efficacy and safety data of various off-label occlusive devices for CAFs closure are scarce. Methods: Patients undergoing transcatheter closure of CAFs from January 2011 to December 2022 were included in the single-center retrospective study. The study population was divided into 2 groups: coils group (n=35) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occluders group (n=66). Results: No significant intergroup differences were observed in demographic characteristics except age. The presence of multiple CAF origins (54.3% vs. 4.5%, p<0.001) and multiple draining sites (51.4% vs. 3.0%, p<0.001) were more common in the coils group. In contrast, the presence of aneurysm (72.7% vs. 14.3%, p<0.001), and large fistula (75.8% vs. 37.1%, p<0.001) were more prevalent in the PDA occluders group. The acute procedural success rate of the PDA occluders group was higher compared to that of the coils group (87.9% vs.62.9%, adjusted odds ratio [OR], 7.20; 95% confidence interval, 1.59–32.64; p=0.01).In addition, no significant intergroup differences were noted in both the recanalization rate (7.8% vs. 20%, p=0.107) and the reintervention rate (3.1% vs. 8.6%, p=0.342). Conclusions Transcatheter closure of CAFs using PDA occluders was associated with significantly higher acute procedural success rates compared to coil embolization with comparable late outcomes.

Growth and development-related diseases result from the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. The collaboration between healthcare, sports, and education sectors integrates multidisciplinary resources and strengths to promote standardized diagnostic and therapeutic processes. This approach establishes a comprehensive closed-loop system encompassing early screening and referral, diagnosis and comprehensive evaluation, intervention and support plan formulation, as well as long-term management andoutcome assessment. It provides systematic scientific support for the healthy growth of children and adolescents, shifting disease intervention to the subclinical stage. Against the backdrop of societal informatization and intelligent development, this diagnostic and therapeutic model not only safeguards the holistic health of children and adolescents but also offers novel perspectives and feasible pathways for managing growth and development-related diseases. The implementation of this systematic diagnostic and therapeutic paradigm presents an innovative solution with Chinese characteristics for addressing such conditions, while injecting new vitality into the advancement of national health initiatives.

Childhood is a critical period for growth and development, and the oral microbiota, as the second most diverse microbial community in the human body, plays a pivotal role in maintaining children's health. Recent studies have demonstrated that dysbiosis of the oral microbiota not only contributes to oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontitis but may also influence the development of children's skeletal, nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, and immune systems through mechanisms involving inflammatory responses, metabolic regulation, and cross-organ communication networks. This review systematically examines the role of the oral microbiota in childhood growth and development and, guided by the core principles of the "active health" model, proposes multiple intervention strategies—including probiotics, xylitol, and mouthwashes—to optimize children's health through early oral microbiota modulation.

The growth and development of children is an important stage for health, and its monitoringand intervention are related to the long-term development of individuals. The construction of a standardized and multi-dimensional database of pediatric growth and development-related diseases is an important basis for realizing precise diagnosis and treatment and health management. Based on the needs of clinical practice, this study proposes to establish a specialized database of pediatric growth and development-related diseases that integrates facial phenotypes and clinical diagnosis and treatment information. This study elaborates on the construction process, including data sources, data collection content, and the operation and management of the database; and proposes key points for quality control, including the establishment of quality control nodes, database construction standards, and a full-process quality control framework. The above ensure the integrity, logic and effectiveness of the data, so that the database can provide an objective basis for the screening and diagnosis of pediatric growth and development-related diseases. On the basis of scientific data management and strict quality control, the database will help reveal the patterns of children's growth and development, and promote the level of children's health management.
