Objective To explore the ^“contribution^” of different exposures to cardiovascular diseases at the population level and to construct a risk prediction model for the effective allocation of prevention resources. Methods The CHNS (China Health and Nutrition Survey) database was used. In 2009, 2011 and 2015, 9 899 permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years in 10 provinces and cities in the central and eastern regions (Beijing, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi and Jiangsu) were selected as the research subjects. A single-factor analysis was conducted to examine the risk factors including sex, age, BMI, marital status, urban/rural area, sleep time, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes, education, and health insurance. The multifactor-adjusted population-attributable risk of certain risk factors was also estimated based on logistic regression analysis. The cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction model was developed using a modeling group of 6 927 randomly selected individuals (70%) and a validation group of 2 974 individuals (30%). The model's differentiation and calibration were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. Results The results showed that the adjusted population attributable risk and 95% confidence interval for BMI, sleep time, smoking, drinking and diabetes were 32.20% (27.67%-36.89%), 7.90% (1.68%-16.58%), 18.56% (11.35%-26.24%), 6.47% (0.11%-13.25%) and 5.73% (4.42%-7.03%). The results of multivariate adjusted population attributable risk percentage showed that BMI was the dominant cause of cardiovascular diseases, followed by smoking, sleep time, drinking and diabetes. The low-risk prevalence rate was 18.44%, the higher-risk prevalence rate was 14.19%, and the high-risk prevalence rate was 42.52%. The area under ROC curve AUC was 0.711, P<0.001, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed P=0.257. Conclusion In the future, it is important to focus on high-risk groups , control body mass index to the normal range, and reduce smoking , which is of great significance for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The risk prediction model has the value of good differentiation and practicability , and can provide certain prediction ability for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

ObjectiveTo understand the seropositivity of neutralizing antibodies (NAb) and low-level NAb against SARS-CoV-2 infection in the community residents, and to explore the impact of COVID-19 vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection on the levels of NAb in human serum. MethodsOn the ground of surveillance cohort for acute infectious diseases in community populations in Shanghai, a proportional stratified sampling method was used to enroll the subjects at a 20% proportion for each age group (0‒14, 15‒24, 25‒59, and ≥60 years old). Blood samples collection and serum SARS-CoV-2 NAb concentration testing were conducted from March to April 2023. Low-level NAb were defined as below the 25^th percentile of NAb. ResultsA total of 2 230 participants were included, the positive rate of NAb was 97.58%, and the proportion of low-level NAb was 25.02% (558/2 230). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age, infection history and vaccination status were correlated with low-level NAb (all P<0.05). Individuals aged 60 years and above had the highest risk of low-level NAb. There was a statistically significant interaction between booster vaccination and one single infection (aOR=0.38, 95%CI: 0.19‒0.77). Compared to individuals without vaccination, among individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 once, both primary immunization (aOR=0.23, 95%CI: 0.16‒0.35) and booster immunization (aOR=0.12, 95%CI: 0.08‒0.17) significantly reduced the risk of low-level NAb; among individuals without infections, only booster immunization (aOR=0.28, 95%CI: 0.14‒0.52) showed a negative correlation with the risk of low-level NAb. ConclusionsThe population aged 60 and above had the highest risk of low-level NAb. Regardless of infection history, a booster immunization could reduce the risk of low-level NAb. It is recommended that eligible individuals , especially the elderly, should get vaccinated in a timely manner to exert the protective role of NAb.

Abstract To promote the high quality development of school meal services, and to shape civilized and healthy eating habits for children and adolescents, the study analyzes Finnish school meal services. Finnish school meal services are not only free of charge, nutritionally balanced, safe and hygienic, but also carry the educational function of edutainment in meals. In order to ensure the high quality and efficient operation of the school meal service system, Finland has built a horizontal collaborative governance model, that is, the departments of education, finance, health and quality inspection have a clear division of labor and respective responsibilities. China can learn from the experience of Finnish schools in meal services, strengthen financial and legal guarantees, develop the educational functions of school meal services, and make full use of information technology such as the Internet, the Internet of things, and big data to promote the high quality development of school meal services.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the association between maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and offspring social behavior, so as to provide a theoretical basis for further research on intergenerational social behavioral development. Methods: Relevant research literature about maternal ACEs and the development of children s maladaptive social behaviors were collected, from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase and SpringLink databases, covering the period from the inception of each database to May 2025. The Chinese database matched and searched through three groups of keywords: "Pregnant women" "Mothers" and "Women"; "Bad childhood experience" "Bad early experience" and "Bad adolescent experience"; "Children" "Teenagers" "Children s behavior" "Children s development" "Teenagers behavior" "Internalized behavior" and "Externalized behavior". The English database was searched by three groups of keywords: "Female" "Pregnant women" "Mothers"; "Adverse childhood experiences" "Adverse early childhood experiences" "Adverse experiences of adolescent"; "Child behavior" "Child development" "Adolescent behavior" "Internalized behaviors" "Externalized behaviors". The selected literature was evaluated for quality and data extraction, with OR and 95% CI as effect indicators. Stata 16.0 software was used for heterogeneity testing, subgroup analysis, and publication bias analysis. Results: A total of 14 studies involving 64 302 mother-child pairs were included. The Meta analysis results showed a significant correlation between maternal ACEs and both offspring maladaptive internalized behaviors ( OR=1.75, 95%CI=1.42-2.15, P <0.01) and externalized behaviors ( OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.51-2.20, P <0.01). The results of subgroup analyses showed that in different regions[internalized behaviors:domestic, foreign OR (95% CI )=2.03(1.49-2.76), 1.55(1.19-2.03); externalized behaviors: domestic, foreign OR (95% CI )=2.41(1.52-3.82), 1.65(1.36-2.01)], study type[internalized behaviors: cohort study, cross sectional study OR (95% CI )=1.64(1.34-2.00), 1.85(1.30-2.65); externalized behaviors: cohort study, cross sectional study OR (95% CI )=1.76(1.46-2.12), 2.12(1.40-3.20)], sample size [internalized behaviors: ≥4 000, <4 000 pairs OR (95% CI )=1.69(1.13-2.55), 1.77( 1.41 -2.24); externalized behaviors: ≥3 000, <3 000 pairs OR (95% CI )=1.72(1.37-2.17), 2.13(1.44-3.15)], there were significant and positive association between mothers ACEs and children s internalizing and externalizing behaviors (all P <0.05). Conclusion A substantial positive association exists between maternal ACEs and the development of offspring maladaptive internalized and externalized behaviors, but the result needs to be continued to be validated by more research.

In the century-long evolution of insulin pharmaceuticals, each transformative advancement in this drug class has been closely tied to the ability to obtain new insulin isoforms for research. Despite this, the recently discovered naturally occurring isoforms of glycosylated human insulin have remained largely unattainable for proper characterization. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that total chemical synthesis can be used to generate all isoforms. This achievement required maintaining the correct positions of the interchain disulfide bonds while effectively removing protecting groups on complex glycans. Notably, the availability of seven glycoforms reveals the important effects of natural sialylated glycans in suppressing insulin self-association and enhancing its solubility, surpassing the performance of currently employed rapid-acting insulin drugs. This work not only offers a readily adaptable platform for exploring natural O-glycosylation in other therapeutic proteins and peptides but also lays the groundwork for further research into harnessing natural glycosylation for therapeutic applications.

As the understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of gastric cancer deepens and the identification of gastric cancer driver genes advances,drugs targeting gastric cancer driver genes have been applied in clinical practice.Among them,trastuzumab,as the first targeted drug for gastric cancer,effectively inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells by targeting overexpressed human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2).Trastuzumab has become the standard treatment for HER2-positive gastric cancer patients.Ramucirumab,on the other hand,inhibits tumor angiogenesis by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2)and has been used as second-line therapy for advanced gastric cancer patients.In addition,bemarituzumab targets overexpressed fibroblast growth factor receptor 2(FGFR2),while zolbetuximab targets overexpressed claudin 18.2(CLDN18.2),significantly extending progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with gastric cancer in clinical trials.This article reviews the roles of tumor driver genes in the progression of gastric cancer,and the treatment strategies for gastric cancer primarily based on targeting HER2,VEGF,FGFR2,CLDN18.2 and MET.This provides a reference for clinical application of targeted therapy for gastric cancer.

Background::With an increasing number of patients with hematological malignancies being treated with umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT), the correlation between immune reconstitution (IR) after UCBT and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has been reported successively, but reports on double-negative T (DNT) cell reconstitution and its association with acute GVHD (aGVHD) after UCBT are lacking.Methods::A population-based observational study was conducted among 131 patients with hematological malignancies who underwent single-unit UCBT as their first transplant at the Department of Hematology, the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, between August 2018 and June 2021. IR differences were compared between the patients with and without aGVHD.Results::The absolute number of DNT cells in the healthy Chinese population was 109 (70-157)/μL, accounting for 5.82 (3.98-8.19)% of lymphocytes. DNT cells showed delayed recovery and could not reach their normal levels even one year after transplantation. Importantly, the absolute number and percentage of DNT cells were significantly higher in UCBT patients without aGVHD than in those with aGVHD within one year ( F = 4.684, P = 0.039 and F = 5.583, P = 0.026, respectively). In addition, the number of DNT cells in the first month after transplantation decreased significantly with the degree of aGVHD increased, and faster DNT cell reconstitution in the first month after UCBT was an independent protective factor for aGVHD (HR = 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23-0.93; P = 0.031). Conclusions::Compared to the number of DNT cells in Chinese healthy people, the reconstitution of DNT cells in adults with hematological malignancies after UCBT was slow. In addition, the faster reconstitution of DNT cells in the early stage after transplantation was associated with a lower incidence of aGVHD.

Objective:To discuss the effect of azathioprine(AZA)on ferroptosis in spermatocytes of the mice induced by reduced glutathione(GSH)peroxidase 4 inhibitor RSL3,and to clarify the potential mechanism.Methods:The spermatogonia GC-2 cells of the mice were randomly divided into control group(no treatment),RSL3 group(treated with 10 nmol·L-1 RSL3 for 24 h),RSL3+ferroptosis inhibitor(Ferrostatin-1,Fer-1)group(treated with 10 nmol·L-1 RSL3 for 24 h+2 μmol·L-1 Fer-1 for 12 h),RSL3+low dose of AZA group(treated with 10 nmol·L-1 RSL3 for 24 h+5 μmol·L-1 AZA for 12 h),RSL3+medium dose of AZA group(treated with 10 nmol·L-1 RSL3 for 24 h+10 μmol·L-1 AZA for 12 h),and RSL3+high dose of AZA group(treated with 10 nmol L-1 RSL3 for 24 h+20 μmol·L-1 AZA for 12 h).The MTT method was used to detect the activities of the GC-2 cells in various groups after treated with different concentrations of AZA and RSL3;the GSH and GSSG levels in the GC-2 cells were detected by GSH and oxidized glutathione(GSSG)detection kits;the malondialdehyde(MDA)levels in the GC-2 cells in various groups were detected by MDA detection kit;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4(ACSL4),heme oxygenase-1(HO-1),and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)proteins in the cells in various groups;immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expressions of ACSL4 protein in the cells in various groups.Results:Compared with control group,the differences in activities of the GC-2 cells in 5,10,and 20 μmol·L-1 AZA groups had no significant differences(P＞0.05),while the activities of the GC-2 cells in 30 and 40 μmol·L-1 AZA groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.01);therefore,the AZA concentration was selected to be within 20 μmol·L-1.Compared with control group,the differences of the activities of the GC-2 cells in 1,5,and 10 nmol·L-1 RSL3 groups had no significant differences(P＞0.05),while the activities of the GC-2 cells in 50,100,500,and 1 000 nmol·L-1 RSL3 groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);therefore,the RSL3 concentration was set to be within 10 nmol·L-1.The GSH and MDA detection kits results showed that compared with control group,the levels of GSSG and MDA in the GC-2 cells in RSL3 group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the GSH levels were significantly decreased(P＜0.05);compared with RSL3 group,the levels of GSSG and MDA in the GC-2 cells in RSL3+Fer-1 group and RSL3+AZA group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),while the GSH levels were significantly increased(P＜0.01).The Western blotting results showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of ACSL4 and HO-1 proteins in the GC-2 cells in RSL3 group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the expression level of GPX4 protein was significantly decreased(P＜0.01);compared with RSL3 group,the expression levels of GPX4 protein in the GC-2 cells in RSL3+Fer-1 group and RSL3+AZA group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the expression levels of ACSL4 and HO-1 proteins were significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with control group,the expression amount of ACSL4 protein in the GC-2 cells in RSL3 group was significantly increased,and compared with RSL3 group,the expression amounts of ACSL4 protein in the cells in RSL3+Fer-1 group and RSL3+AZA group were significantly decreased.Conclusion:AZA can alleviate the ferroptosis-induced by RSL3 in spermatocytes of the mice.

Acceleration of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment is challenging,with osteoclast-mediated bone resorption on the compressive side being the rate-limiting step.Recent studies have demonstrated that mechanoreceptors on the surface of monocytes/macrophages,especially adhesion G protein-coupled receptors(aGPCRs),play important roles in force sensing.However,its role in the regulation of osteoclast differentiation remains unclear.Herein,through single-cell analysis,we revealed that CD97,a novel mechanosensitive aGPCR,was expressed in macrophages.Compression upregulated CD97 expression and inhibited osteoclast differentiation;while knockdown of CD97 partially rescued osteoclast differentiation.It suggests that CD97 may be an important mechanosensitive receptor during osteoclast differentiation.RNA sequencing analysis showed that the Rap1a/ERK signalling pathway mediates the effects of CD97 on osteoclast differentiation under compression.Consistently,we clarified that administration of the Rap1a inhibitor GGTI298 increased osteoclast activity,thereby accelerating tooth movement.In conclusion,our results indicate that CD97 suppresses osteoclast differentiation through the Rap1a/ERK signalling pathway under orthodontic compressive force.
