Objective: To explore the association between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide theoretical basis for the prevention of anxiety and depressive symptoms co-occurrence among adolescents. Methods: A random cluster sampling involving 8 500 first year junior high school students in 11 counties in Yunnan Province was conducted by a questionnaire survey from October to December 2022. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was applied to assess anxiety and depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students. Chi-square test was used to compare the anxiety-depression co-occurrence symptoms of first year junior high school students with different demographic characteristics. The association between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms of adolescents was analyzed by binary Logistic regression models. Results: The detection rate of co-occurrence of anxiety and depression symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province was 26.92%. After controlling for demographic variables and other confounders, takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption( OR=1.50, 95%CI =1.27-1.77) was associated with anxiety-depression co-occurrence symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province ( P <0.01). Stratified analysis showed that both Han ( OR=1.37, 95%CI =1.07-1.77) and ethnic minorities ( OR=1.60, 95%CI =1.29-2.00) exhibited statistically significant associations between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms(both P <0.05). Conclusions Takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption increases the risk of co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province. It is recommended to strengthen guidance on the consumption of such products among junior high school students to prevent co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Objective: To explore the relative importance of different food attributes and levels in food decision making of school aged children, and to understand their meal preferences, so as to provide the evidence for formulating precise intervention strategies for dietary behaviours of school aged children. Methods: From May to June 2024, a total of 854 children aged 11 to 15 years old were selected from 2 middle schools (each school in urban and rural areas) in both Hubei Province and Anhui Province by stratified cluster random sampling method to conduct a D-optimal discrete choice experiment. The mixed Logit model was used to analyze children s preference for meal attributes and different levels, and to calculate the relative importance (RI) of attributes and willingness to pay (WTP) in meal choices. Results: The included five food attributes had statistical significance on meal choice of school aged children ( P <0.05). The relative importance of food attributes affecting the meal choices of school aged children in descending order were dining mode ( RI =31.26%), food varieties ( RI =30.56%), cooking method( RI =23.84%), taste( RI =8.06%) and price ( RI =6.27%). Among them, school aged children preferred home cooked meals ( β =0.74) (WTP=86.3 yuan),varied foods(grain/tubers+vegetables+fish, meat, eggs and beans) ( β =0.61) (WTP=71.9 yuan), fried/roasted cooking ( β =0.51) and spicy taste ( β =0.33).Price was negatively correlated with meal choices( β =-0.01) ( P <0.05). Based on residential area and body mass index (BMI), the stratified analysis showed that dining mode was highest in the relative importance for rural children with overweight and obese children ( RI =31.28%,34.17%), both of whom preferred home cooked meals ( β =0.76, 0.91), and meals containing fish, meat, eggs and beans with grain/tubers or grain/tubers and vegetables in terms of food choice (area: β =0.53, 0.53 ; BMI: β =0.55, 0.56) ( P <0.05). Conclusions School aged children have different preferences for different attributes of meals. The quality of school meals should be improved,the cost of buying healthy meals should be reduced,targeted family health education should be carried out,and healthy cooking methods should be advocated.

Objective:Assessing the therapeutic efficacy of methotrexate(MTX)-modified magnetic nanoparticles in thermo-chemotherapy for rat breast cancer and its impact on immune function.Methods:Female Wistar rats were subcutaneously inoculated with breast cancer Walker-256 cells to establish a transplantation tumor model,and injected with polyethyleneimine(PEI)-modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles(47T group,42T group and multiple 42T group)or MTX-modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles(47TC group,42TC group and multiple 42TC group)for thermotherapy under the magnetic field at different temperatures(47℃and 42℃).The rats injected with MTX-modified magnetic fluid only(MFC group)and the tumor-bearing rats without any treatment(blank control group),with irradiation treatment in an alternating magnetic field only for 30 minutes(M group),with injection of PEI-modified magnetic fluid only(MF group),with treatment of MTX-mono drug(MTX group)and not inoculated with tumor cells(normal group)were used as control groups.X-ray radiography was used to display the distribution of magnetic fluid in the tumor tissue 24 hours,2 weeks and 2 months after intra-tumor injection.After 24 hours of treatment,three rats were selected from each of the 47T and 47TC groups,and the effect of magnetic fluid on tumor cells was observed under an electron microscope after execution.After 14 days of treatment,the tumor volume of rats was measured and statistically analyzed.At the same time,4 rats were selected from each of the 47TC,47T,42TC,42T,MFC,MTX,blank control and normal groups,and the levels of IL-2,IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral blood were detected by ELISA method.The remaining rats were observed for long-term survival.Results:The magnetic nanoparticles were evenly distributed in the center of the tumor but unevenly distributed at the tumor's edge;they primarily localize amomg tumor cells and can penertrate into tumor cells.Tumor growth was inhibited in rats in the 47TC,47T,multiple 42TC and multiple 42T groups(all P<0.05),and the survival rates of the rats were high.As compared with the blank control group,the levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ were increased while the IL-4 level was decreased in the 47TC and 47T groups(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Thermo-chemotherapy at 47℃for 30 minutes and multiple sessions at 42℃for 60 minutes can partially inhibit tumor growth and prolong rat survival.This effect maybe related to the thermo-chemotherapy at 47℃for 30 minutes which can activate the body's immune function.

Objective To investigate the reciprocal relationships between trajectories of depressive symptoms(DS)and cognitive function(CF)and to provide a basis for formulating comprehensive management for depression and cognitive impairment among older adults.Methods Group－based dual trajectory modelling was performed to identify dual trajectories of DS and CF usinglongitudinal data from the Chinese Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.Results 3076 older adults were included in the analysis.Four trajectories of DS(DS1~DS4)were determined:constantly low(30.7%),mild increasing lightly(46.7%),moderately decreasing(19.0%),and constantly high(3.6%);four trajectories of CF(CF1~CF4):persistently high(8.3%),suboptimal slowly decline(51.8%),middle rapidly decline(33.8%)and low rapidly decline(6.1%).Compared with DS 1,the elderly in DS 2~4 were more likely to experience CF 3 and CF 4.Using CF 1 as a reference,the elderly in CF 2~4 were more likely to follow DS 2~4.Conclusion GBMDT captures the degree of overlap and dynamic developmental associations between developmental trajectories for DS and CF among Chinese elderly.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of Coronavirus Dis-ease 2019 in immunocompromised hosts.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 230 hospitalized patients diagnosed with Coronavirus Disease 2019 at Nanjing Yimin Hospital from December 2022 to November 2023.The patients were divided into three groups based on their immune status:immunocompromised group(n=59),relatively immunocompromised group(n=129),and immunocompetent group(n=42).The clinical characteristics(such as clinical manifesta-tions,imaging features,and laboratory examinations)and outcomes(such as length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality)were compared among three groups.Results Compared with there latively immunocompromised and immunocompetent groups,the immunocompromised group showed no obvious specific clinical manifestations.However,the proportions of patients with symptoms such as cough and expectoration were lower,and the occurrences of symptoms such as myalgia and fatigue were less fre-quent in the immunocompromised group(P＜0.05).The chest CT findings in the immunocompro-mised group also lacked specific changes,mainly presenting as subpleural ground-glass opacities and consolidations with multilobar distribution,but fibrotic changes were more common(P＜0.05).The proportion of patients with decreased absolute lymphocyte counts in the immunocompromised group was higher than that in the immunocompetent group,and the proportion of patients with elevated procalcitonin levels was higher than that in the other two groups(P＜0.05).The proportion of severe case sand the length of hospital stay in the immunocompromised group were higher and longer than those in the relatively immunocompromised and immunocompetent groups(P＜0.05).The in-hospital mortality rates in the immunocompromised,relatively immunocompromised,and immunocompetent groups were 10.17％,6.98％,and 2.38％,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion After Coronavirus Disease 2019,immunocompromised hosts do not show obvi-ous clinical and imaging features.However,they have a prolonged length of hospital stay,a signifi-cantly higher proportion of severe cases,and a tendency towards increased in-hospital mortality,which should be given high clinical attention.

Objective To analyze the virulence genes and antibiotics resistance of Escherichia coli(E.coli)isolates cause urinary tract infection(USI)in children,and further understand the epidemiological characteristics of E.coli isolates in children with USI.Methods Children with urinary system infection admitted to Quanzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital&Children's Hospital from January to December 2021 were collected.E.coli was isolated from urine,and the drug sensitivity of the E.coli to 15 commonly used clinical antibiotics was detected by instruments.Among them,33 strains of E.coli that showed Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase(ESBL)production were increased,genomic DNA was extracted,and the whole genome sequence of the strains was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing technology.Results In the gene sequence analysis of 33 strains of E.coli,86 virulence genes were obtained,and the bacterial structural virulence genes accounted for the most(43/86),including capsular,fimbriae and cell-membrane system,followed by functional virulence genes and toxigenic genes,while fimH,fdeC and terC virulence genes had the highest detection rates.In the analysis of drug resistance,Cefazolin(96.97%)was the most resistant,and carbapenems were also found to be resistant.In addition,39 inactivation genes,18 target alteration genes and 51 e?ux system genes were obtained.The most information related to antibiotic e?ux(1 273/1 815),mainly RND and MFS superfamily e?ux pumps.There were 19～43 drug resistance genes in each E.coli genome.A variety of β-lactamase resistance genes were found,in which CTX-M/EC/TEM gene family dominated.Conclusion In the urine isolation of ESBL-producing E.coli in USI children,the β-lactamase should continue to be monitored.Virulence genes fimH,fdeC,terC and acrAB/emrAB/mdtABC-TolC e?ux pump gene detected higherratio,should be more attention.

Objective:To document any effect of repeated high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) using double-cone coils on the lower limb motor function of stroke survivors.Methods:A total of 40 stroke survivors were randomly divided into an rTMS group and a sham stimulation group, each of 20. The rTMS group received rTMS at 10Hz with a double-cone coil, while a coil that produced sound but no magnetic stimulation was used with the sham group. The treatments were administered daily, five times a week, for three weeks. Before as well as after 1, 2 and 3 weeks of treatment, lower limb motor function, balance, and the root mean square (RMS) and median frequency (MF) of the rectus femoris and tibialis anterior muscles were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer lower extremity assessment (FMA-LE), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Brunnstrom staging, the TecnoBody balance assessment system, and surface electromyography.Results:Compared with the sham stimulation group, the BBS score of the rTMS group was significantly higher after 2 weeks of treatment, and both the FMA-LE and BBS scores were significantly higher after 3 weeks. The average Brunnstrom stage in the sham group had increased significantly after 3 weeks, but in the rTMS group it had increased after 2 weeks. By 3 weeks there were no significant differences between the two groups. In terms of movement control, the average motion ellipse area in the rTMS group was significantly smaller than among the sham group after 2 weeks, and after 3 weeks the average motion trajectory length was significantly shorter than in the sham group. The average RMS of the rectus femoris in the rTMS group was significantly higher than the sham group′s average after 3 weeks of treatment, indicating improved muscle activation.Conclusions:High-frequency rTMS using a conical coil can effectively improve the lower limb motor function and balance ability of stroke survivors, demonstrating promising clinical application potential.

Objective To investigate the reciprocal relationships between trajectories of depressive symptoms(DS)and cognitive function(CF)and to provide a basis for formulating comprehensive management for depression and cognitive impairment among older adults.Methods Group－based dual trajectory modelling was performed to identify dual trajectories of DS and CF usinglongitudinal data from the Chinese Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.Results 3076 older adults were included in the analysis.Four trajectories of DS(DS1~DS4)were determined:constantly low(30.7%),mild increasing lightly(46.7%),moderately decreasing(19.0%),and constantly high(3.6%);four trajectories of CF(CF1~CF4):persistently high(8.3%),suboptimal slowly decline(51.8%),middle rapidly decline(33.8%)and low rapidly decline(6.1%).Compared with DS 1,the elderly in DS 2~4 were more likely to experience CF 3 and CF 4.Using CF 1 as a reference,the elderly in CF 2~4 were more likely to follow DS 2~4.Conclusion GBMDT captures the degree of overlap and dynamic developmental associations between developmental trajectories for DS and CF among Chinese elderly.

Objective To investigate the effects of continuous caloric restriction(CCR)and low carbon ketogenic diet(LCK)on glucose and lipid metabolism and cardiopulmonary function in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods In this study,90 patients with T2DM and overweight who received treatment in our hospital from May 2020 to May 2021 were randomly selected as research objects,and 90 patients were randomly divided into control(Con,n=30)group,CCR group(n=30),and LCK group(n=30).After 3 monthes,the body mass index(BMI),changes of blood glucose,blood lipid,heart function and lung function of the three groups were compared.Results After treatment,the BMI,fasting plasma glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,hemoglobin A1c,fasting insulin,insulin resistance index,total cholesterol,triglycerides,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,average systolic ejection velocity,shortening rate of left ventricular circumference,vital capacity/weight decreased in turn(P<0.05),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,fasting C-peptide increased in turn(P<0.05).Compared with Con group,the cardiac ejection time,left ventricular ejection fraction,vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in the first second in CCR and LCK groups increased after treatment(P<0.05),while the average systolic ejection rate,left ventricular circumference shortening rate and vital capacity/weight decreased(P<0.05).Conclusions Both CCR and LCK can improve the cardiopulmonary function of overweight T2DM patients,and LCK can improve BMI and glucose and lipid metabolism more effectively.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of injury deaths in local residents in Nanjing from 2009 to 2023, and provide evidence for the development of injury prevention and control strategies.Methods:The injury mortality data in Nanjing from 2009 to 2023 were analyzed based on the death cause surveillance system. In the recorded 33 542 injury death cases, 19 906 (59.35%) were men, and 13 636 (40.65%) were women. The crude mortality rate, age-standardized mortality rate, age-specific mortality rate, cause-eliminated life expectancy (CELE), potential gains in life expectancy (PGLEs) and life loss rate, were calculated. Joinpoint 5.0 software was used to estimate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) and its 95% CI to assess temporal trends of injury deaths. Results:In Nanjing, the crude injury mortality rate showed an upward trend (AAPC=2.11%), while the age-standardized mortality rate exhibited a downward trend (AAPC=-1.27%) from 2009 to 2023. The ranking of injury deaths in all causes of death declined from the 4 th in 2009 to the 6 th in 2023. The crude and age-standardized injury mortality rates in men were consistently higher than those in women. The primary cause of injury deaths was fall (31.42%). Drowning was the primary cause of injury deaths in age group 0-14 years (35.94%), while traffic accident was the primary cause in age group 15-64 years. For residents aged ≥65 years, fall was the primary cause of injury deaths. From 2009 to 2023, the CELE (AAPC=0.61%, 95% CI: 0.34%-0.89%, P<0.05) and the PGLEs (AAPC=1.73%, 95% CI: 0.21%-3.29%, P<0.05) showed increasing trends. The PGLEs and life loss rate due to injury were consistently higher in men than in women, but the AAPC of PGLEs and life loss rate was higher in women. Conclusions:From 2009 to 2023, the age-standardized injury mortality rate decreased, but the life loss due to injury deaths showed an upward trend in Nanjing, indicating that injury still has non-negligible negative impact on life expectancy.
