Objective:
To summarize strategies for improving childhood hypertension, so as to provide evidencebased recommendations for poliymaking and practice childhood hypertension management in China.
Methods:
From March to April 2024, child health stakeholders from five districts in Hangzhou were selected using a combination of stratified and convenience sampling methods. Data were analyzed using a groundedtheory approach. During the indepth interview phase, six policymakers were interviewed. Focus group discussions were conducted with school administrators, healthcare providers, and parents, comprising a total of 62 participants.
Results:
Through threelevel coding, 116 initial categories were identified(e.g., "trend of younger age" "difficulty in behavior change"), 35 main categories (e.g., "higher incidence compared to the past" "caused by comprehensive influencing factors"), and 12 core categories (e.g., "epidemic status" "influencing factors"). Finally, the cognitive status, problem analysis, and management strategies of children hypertension were constructed.
Conclusion
Effective prevention and control of childhood hypertension requires coordinated efforts among governments, schools, families, and society to establish a comprehensive management system, with dynamic monitoring and evaluation to optimize policy implementation.

OBJECTIVES:
This study examined the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and diabetes within a social-ecological framework, incorporating personal and environmental unfavorable conditions during childhood from family, school, and community contexts.
METHODS:
Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2014 life history survey and 2015 survey), including 9,179 participants aged ≥45 years. ACEs were collected through self-report questionnaires, and participants were categorized based on the number of distinct ACEs experienced (0, 1, 2, 3, or ≥4 ACEs). Diabetes was defined by biomarkers, self-reported diagnosis, and treatment status. Logistic regression was conducted to explore the associations between ACEs and diabetes. Subgroup analyses were conducted by gender, age, and obesity status.
RESULTS:
Compared with participants without ACEs, those exposed to any ACE (odds ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 1.40), 3 ACEs (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.62) and ≥4 ACEs (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.56) had an increased risk of diabetes. For each additional ACE, the risk of diabetes increased by about 5%. Regarding the source of ACEs, those originating from the family (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.41) were associated with diabetes. In terms of specific ACE types, family members with substance abuse (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.52), emotional abuse (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.46), and poor parental relationship (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.43) were associated with diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS
ACEs, particularly those originating from the family, were associated with diabetes. Interventions aimed at preventing and mitigating ACEs are essential for the early prevention of diabetes.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are expressed in different species and different tissues, and perform different functions, but little is known about their involvement in the synthesis or secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In general, we have revealed lncRNA‒microRNA (miRNA)‒messenger RNA (mRNA) interactions that may play important roles in rat primary pituitary cells. In this study, a new lncRNA was identified for the first time. First, we analyzed the gene expression of lncRNA-m18as1 in different tissues and different stages by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and observed the localization of lncRNA-m18as1 with fluorescence in situ hybridization, which indicated that this lncRNA was distributed mainly in the cytoplasm. Next, we used RT-qPCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to analyze the regulation of FSH synthesis and secretion after overexpression or knockdown of lncRNA-m18as1 and found that lncRNA-m18as1 was positively correlated with FSH synthesis and secretion. In addition, mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2 (Smad2) was highly expressed in our sequencing results. We also screened miR-18a-5p from our sequencing results as a miRNA that may bind to lncRNA-m18as1 and Smad2. We used RNA immunoprecipitation-qPCR (RIP-qPCR) and/or dual luciferase assays to confirm that lncRNA-m18as1 interacted with miR-18a-5p and miR-18a-5p interacted with Smad2. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed that lncRNA-m18as1 and miR-18a-5p were localized mainly in the cytoplasm. Finally, we determined the relationship among lncRNA-m18as1, miR-18a-5p, and the Smad2/3 pathway. Overall, we found that lncRNA-m18as1 acts as a molecular sponge of miR-18a-5p to regulate the synthesis and secretion of FSH through the Smad2/3 pathway.

Objective? To explore the effects of health education based on "information-motivation-behavioral skills" (IMB) model on health behavior among soldiers with urolithiasis in the plateau. Methods? From January 2016 to May 2017, we selected 160 soldiers with urolithiasis providing logistic services in the plateau with altitude of more than 3 000 m at the 940th Hospital of Logistic Services Troops of the Chinese People's Liberation Army as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were divided into experimental group and control group with the random number table, 80 cases in each group. Control group carried out routine health education, while experimental group implemented health education based on IMB model. After intervention, we compared the health belief, health behavior and recurrence rate of calculi of soldiers between two groups. Results? Six months after intervention, the total scores of health belief and health behavior of experimental group were (140.22±12.90) and (149.44±14.18) higher than those of control group with statistical differences (P<0.05). The recurrence rates of calculi of experimental group in 6 and 12 months were lower than those of control group with statistical differences (χ2=7.761,P<0.05). Conclusions? Health education based on IMB model makes soldiers change healthy perception into actual behavior and maintain healthy behavior in daily life to reduce the recurrence rate of urinary calculus and improve the combat capability of troops.

Objective To observe the effect of 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on upper limb motor function after stroke. Methods 40 patients with ischemic internal carotid artery (ICA) stroke were randomly divided into treatment group (n=20) and control group (n=20). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation and medication. The treatment group received rTMS while the control group received pseudo stimulation, 1 Hz at 100% resting motor threshold (RMT) over contralesional motor cortex (unaffected side). The treatment group was tested with motor evoked potentials (MEPs), and both groups were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and grip strength after treatment. Results The amplitude of MEPs of the unaffected cortex increased in the treatment group after treatment (P< 0.001). The treatment group improved in grip strength and the scores of FMA in the affected side compared with the control group after treatment (P<0.001). No serious side-effect was found. Conclusion rTMS was safe and feasible for patients with ischemic ICA stroke to improve the upper limb motor function.
