Objective To explore the predictive effect of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] and blood lipid metabolism indexes on the occurrence of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods Totally 98 patients with T2DM in the hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were classified into osteoporosis group (38 cases) and non-osteoporosis group (60 cases) by means of concurrent osteoporosis status. The levels of serum 25(OH)D3 and blood lipid metabolism indexes [high density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), VLDL] were measured in study subjects. The association of serum 25(OH)D3 and blood lipid metabolism indexes with osteoporosis was explored by Logistic regression analysis. The predictive value of serum 25(OH)D3 and blood lipid metabolism indexes on osteoporosis was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Serum 25(OH)D3 and HDL levels in the osteoporosis group were lower while TG and LDL levels were higher than those in the non-osteoporosis group (P<0.05). The differences in the levels of TC and VLDL were insignificant between groups (P>0.05). After logistic regression analysis, the levels of serum 25(OH)D3, HDL, TG and LDL were closely related to the occurrence of osteoporosis (P<0.05). ROC curve indicated that the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of combined prediction of osteoporosis by serum 25(OH)D3, HDL, TG, and LDL were 0.943, 92.11% and 85.00%, and the efficiency of combined prediction was better than that of each index alone (P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of serum 25(OH)D3, HDL, TG and LDL in T2DM are closely related to osteoporosis. Early combined monitoring of the indicators can provide reference value for clinical prediction of osteoporosis occurrence in patients with T2DM.

At present, the treatment of sepsis depends largely on non-specific methods, highlighting an urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Stem cells have garnered significant attention in the treatment of various diseases due to their unique biological properties. Stem cells enhance sepsis survival through mechanisms such as reducing bacterial burden, modulating inflammation, and ameliorating organ dysfunction. Recent studies have shown that stem cells can increase the survival rate of sepsis patients through multiple pathways such as reducing the bacterial load of the host, regulating inflammatory homeostasis, and improving multi-organ dysfunction. Their derivatives, exosomes, can also alleviate the imbalanced immune response in sepsis patients. Recent advances in stem cell-based therapies for sepsis were summarized in this paper.

Innovation entities bear primary responsibility for the management of scientific and technological ethics. Understanding the current construction status of the scientific and technological ethical governance capacity among Chinese innovation entities is conducive to grasping effectiveness and shortcomings of scientific and technological ethical governance of innovation entities， providing a scientific basis and practical guidance for innovation entities to fulfill their primary responsibilities better. Based on a questionnaire survey targeting 313 innovation entities， this paper investigated and analyzed the current status and existing challenges of scientific and technological ethical governance capacity among Chinese innovation entities from five aspects. It was found that China has made certain achievements in scientific and technological ethical governance， yet there were still issues such as incomplete construction of regulatory systems， low efficiency of ethical review， unestablished regular education and training systems， and imperfect dynamic monitoring systems for ethical risks. Among these issues， the scientific and technological ethical governance capacity of enterprises was identified as requiring urgent improvement. Additionally， strengthening multi-stakeholder collaboration remained a key challenge in building a collaborative and co-governance system for scientific and technological ethics. Based on these issues identified in the survey， countermeasures and suggestions were proposed from five perspectives， that is， enhancing the capacity in institutional construction， ethical review， value transmission， risk early warning， and collaborative governance of innovation entities on scientific and technological ethical governance. The aim was to provide references for accelerating the construction of the scientific and technological ethical governance system and improving the scientific and technological ethical governance capacity of innovation entities.

Objective: To identify the effective needs of college students for dietary nutrition health education content, so as to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the health education strategies in colleges. Methods: The literature analysis method, focus group interviews and Delphi expert consultation method were used to construct a survey questionnaire on dietary nutrition health education for college students. From January to March 2024, a total of 597 college students from six colleges in Shandong Province were selected through convenience sampling to complete the questionnaire independently by scanning the two dimensional code on questionnaire star. The Kano model was used to define the content demands of college students for dietary nutrition education, and the differences in demands were analyzed by calculating satisfied influence (SI) and dissatisfied influence (DSI). Results: The compiled questionnaire was divided into 7 dimensions and 25 items. The overall demand level analysis of college students included 3 essential attribute demands, namely, the recommended intake and various forms of dairy products (34.17%), the role of whole grains in health with their scientific intake forms and recommended amounts (31.99%), and the intake of beans (30.15%); 7 expected attribute demands included the introduction of recommended intensity of different activities (35.01%), how to achieve a healthy weight and the balance between diet and exercise (41.54%), the energy consumed by different exercises in a unit of time ( 38.36 %), the selection of healthy snacks (36.68%), the types of infectious diseases of the digestive system and how to prevent and control them (25.96%), the causes and judgments with manifestations of nutrition related diseases among college students ( 28.14 %), and the hotspots of attention on nutrition related diseases among college students (24.46%); 4 attractive attribute demands contained the introduction of the recommended activity levels for different periods such as daily and weekly (28.81%), the introduction of the importance of activities and the harm of prolonged sitting and ways to avoid it (28.64%), the nutritional value of animal foods and eating suggestions (23.45%), and the scientific intake suggestions for various processed animal foods (22.11%); the remaining were 11 attribute demands with no differences. In the quadrant diagram analysis, the demand items located in the maintenance zone, competitive advantage zone, improvement zone, and minor improvement zone were 5, 5, 8, and 7, respectively. Conclusions College students have different demands in dietary nutrition health education, and whether these demands are met affects their satisfaction in different ways. Among them, education on the intake of dairy products, whole grains, and beans has the greatest impact on satisfaction.

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by impaired neuromuscular transmission. Thymectomy is one of the therapeutic options for acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive myasthenia gravis patients. The quality of perioperative care is directly associated with surgical safety and patient outcomes. However, there is currently a lack of specialized nursing consensus or guidelines specifically addressing the care of these patients domestically or internationally. To promote the standardization and normalization of perioperative nursing care for myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy and to ensure treatment efficacy, a panel of 57 experts from relevant fields was convened. Based on evidence-based medicine and clinical practice experience, discussions were held on various aspects including condition assessment, nutritional support, medication management, and airway care, resulting in a consensus with 18 final recommendations by using the Delphi method through two rounds of expert consultation. This consensus aims to provide a scientific reference for the perioperative nursing care of myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy.

Objective: To discuss the epidemiological characteristics of hand foot mouth disease (HFMD) among children in Jiujiang City, and its correlation with meteorological factors, so as to provide scientific evidence for developing targeted HFMD prevention and control measures. Methods: HFMD incidence data among children and meteorological factor records from Jiujiang City during 2019-2023 were collected. Pearson correlation analysis and Quasi-Poisson regression analysis of generalized additive model were used to analyze the relationship between the number of cases and meteorological factors, calculating correlation coefficients (r) and excess risk (ER). Results: The annual reported children HFMD cases in Jiujiang City during 2019-2023 were 4 299, 4 671, 2 560, 3 230, and 3 584, respectively. Except for a peak in autumn-winter in 2020, outbreaks occurred mainly in spring and summer in other years. The majority of cases involved scattered children (71.11%) and children in daycare centers (26.64%). Pearson correlation analysis showed that total case counts, cases among scattered children, and cases among children in daycare centers were positively correlated with average temperature ( r =0.36, 0.39, 0.23), maximum temperature ( r =0.32, 0.36, 0.20), minimum temperature ( r =0.37, 0.41, 0.24), and average relative humidity ( r =0.19, 0.20, 0.15) (all P <0.05). Quasi-Poisson regression analysis of generalized additive model revealed that total cases, cases among scattered children, and cases among daycare children were positively associated with average temperature ( r =0.05, 0.06, 0.03) and average relative humidity ( r =0.03, 0.02, 0.02) (all P <0.01). Excess incidence risk analysis indicated that for every 10 ℃ increase in average temperature, the ER (95% CI ) values were 72.16 (45.91-103.14), 79.76 (52.99- 111.23 ) and 39.30 (14.45-69.54) among total children, scattered children and daycare children, respectively; for every 10% increase in average relative humidity, the ER (95% CI ) values were 28.69 (12.22-47.56), 27.81 (12.01-45.84) and 24.42 (5.56-46.65), respectively. Conclusions The incidence level of HFMD among children in Jiujiang City is positively correlated with the average temperature and average relative humidity. Higher temperature and humidity are associated with an increased risk of excess HFMD incidence in scattered children compared to children in daycare centers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of Liuhuang Zhike prescription （LHZK） on blood glucose in type 2 diabetic db/db mice based on the AMP-activated protein kinase/protein kinase B/glycogen synthase kinase-3β （AMPK/Akt/GSK-3β） signaling pathway. MethodsDb/db mice were used as the model animals， and db/m mice served as the blank control. Forty db/db mice were randomly divided into the model group， metformin group （0.14 g·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （4.11， 8.21， 16.43 g·kg^-1） LHZK groups， with 8 mice in each group. The db/db mice in the metformin and LHZK groups were administered the corresponding drugs by gavage， while the blank control and model groups were given distilled water by gavage once daily for 8 consecutive weeks. Food intake， water consumption， body weight， and fasting blood glucose （FBG） were measured weekly. An automatic biochemical analyzer was used to determine glycated serum protein （GSP）， serum triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） levels. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological morphological changes in the liver and pancreatic tissues. Oil red O staining was used to assess lipid accumulation in liver tissue. The anthrone colorimetric method was used to determine hepatic glycogen content. Real-time quantitative PCR （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of insulin receptor substrate-1 （IRS-1）， Akt2， phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase （PEPCK）， and glucose-6-phosphatase （G6Pase） in liver tissue. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of AMPKα， phosphorylated AMPKα （p-AMPKα）， GSK-3β， p-GSK-3β， glycogen synthase （GS）， and phosphorylated GS （p-GS） in liver tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank control group， the model group showed significantly increased food intake， water consumption， body weight， FBG， and GSP levels （P<0.01）. Pancreatic islets exhibited marked parenchymal cell hyperplasia and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration. Liver tissue showed obvious steatosis， accompanied by a compensatory increase in hepatic glycogen content （P<0.01）. Hepatic G6Pase mRNA expression was increased， while IRS-1 and Akt2 mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The p-AMPKα/AMPKα protein expression ratio showed a decreasing trend， whereas the p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β and p-GS/GS protein expression ratios were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， food intake and water consumption showed decreasing trends in all treatment groups. Food intake was significantly reduced in the low- and high-dose LHZK groups and in the metformin group （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and water consumption was significantly reduced in the low-dose LHZK group and in the metformin group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. No statistically significant differences in body weight were observed among the LHZK groups， whereas body weight in the metformin group was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. FBG showed a decreasing trend in all treatment groups， with significant decreases in the low-dose LHZK group and the metformin group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. GSP levels were significantly reduced in the low-dose LHZK group and in the metformin group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Hepatic steatosis and pancreatic pathological injury were alleviated to varying degrees in all treatment groups. Hepatic glycogen content further increased in all treatment groups， with significant increases in the medium- and high-dose LHZK groups （P<0.05）. Real-time PCR results showed that all treatment groups downregulated the mRNA expression of G6Pase and PEPCK in the liver tissues of db/db mice， with significant downregulation of PEPCK mRNA in the low-dose LHZK and metformin groups （P<0.01）. Meanwhile， all treatment groups upregulated IRS-1 and Akt2 mRNA expression， with the most pronounced upregulation observed in the medium-dose LHZK group （P<0.01）. The p-AMPKα/AMPKα protein expression ratio was significantly increased in the low- and medium-dose LHZK groups （P<0.01）. The p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β protein expression ratio was significantly increased in all treatment groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）， whereas the p-GS/GS protein expression ratio was significantly decreased in all treatment groups （P<0.01）. ConclusionLHZK effectively reduces FBG and GSP levels in type 2 diabetic mice and improves hepatic steatosis and pancreatic islet pathological injury. Its hypoglycemic mechanism may be associated with regulation of the AMPK/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway and promotion of hepatic glycogen synthesis.

Objective: To systematically analyze the current status and influencing factors of platelet supply in medical institutions across China, and to explore the problems and future development directions of the existing supply models. Methods: From February 25 to March 5, 2025, a web-based questionnaire survey was performed. A self-designed questionnaire was distributed to staff in the blood transfusion departments of medical institutions nationwide in China. Data on the current status and influencing factors of platelet supply were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 2 268 responses were collected in this survey, with 1 366 valid questionnaires finally included, covering 33 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government across China. The survey revealed that platelet supply in Chinese medical institutions exhibited a pattern of "sufficient in the eastern region, stable in the central region, and scarce in the western region": adequate in East China; generally favorable in South China except Guangxi; centered on Beijing and Tianjin in North China; basically met but with insufficient reserves in Central China; subject to seasonal fluctuations in Northeast China; only meeting the baseline supply in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in Southwest China; and notably short in Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang in Northwest China. Family donor mobilization was required in 81.2% (1 109/1 366) of institutions, whereas this proportion was only 12.7% (173/1 366) among institutions with sufficient supply. Tertiary hospitals constituted the main users, among which tertiary Class A hospitals had the highest sufficiency rate, and secondary Class B hospitals showed the most pronounced shortage. A total of 84% (1 147/1 366) of institutions lacked a professional management team; only 19% (266/1 366) had an inventory warning system, of which 88% (234/266) considered it effective. Platelet reservation required 3 days in 33% (458/1 366) of institutions. The mandatory transfusion rate was 30.55% (29/118) when the reservation lead time exceeded 3 days, representing an increase of 5.98% compared with 24.57% (55/180) in the same-day reservation group. For optimization, most institutions called for improved blood donation services, strengthened education and incentives, establishment of regional coordination and policy collaboration, and supplementary suggestions focused on technologies for extending platelet shelf life. Conclusion: Regional imbalance in platelet supply across China is prominent, with supply shortages in some provinces, reliance on family donor mobilization in most institutions, weak grassroots support capacity, imperfect management systems, and supply timeliness constraining clinical practice. Systematic improvements are needed in optimizing blood donation services, strengthening regional coordination, improving relevant policies, and developing platelet preservation technologies, so as to enhance the level of supply security and patient safety.

ObjectiveTo systematically assess the public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province, to conduct an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, so as to provide scientific basis and strategic recommendations for further enhancement. MethodsA systematic collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2023 was conducted (encompassing a total of 1 263 policy documents, 138 pieces of information reports and 631 research articles). Based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems previously developed by the research team, the basic status and magnitude of change in public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province was evaluated. Additionally, normative gap analyses were employed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. ResultsZhejiang Province ranked 4th nationwide in terms of public health governance capacity with a score of 733.4 points (1 000.0-point maximum). The province has effectively implemented the principle of health first (scoring 698.5 points in the assessment of health-first strategy implementation) and attached sufficient importance to health-related goals (scoring 658.2 points in the scientific rationality of goal setting). However, the implementation of inter-departmental coordination and incentive mechanisms only scored 178.7 points, the feasibility of management and monitoring mechanisms scored even lower at only 144.0 points, and the coverage of incentive mechanisms scored 286.0 points. ConclusionZhejiang Province has effectively implemented its health first strategy and attached great importance to health targets, but still needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination mechanisms and health-oriented incentives.
