BACKGROUND:Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by various types of cells,with advantages such as high bioavailability,low toxicity,low immunogenicity,and good biocompatibility.However,natural exosomes have certain limitations in clinical therapy.By using bioengineering techniques to modify and engineer exosomes,the engineered exosomes not only improve their original therapeutic effects but also exhibit excellent biostability and targeting specificity,showing great potential for application in the field of tissue repair.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the various strategies for engineering exosomes,including functional loading and surface modification,outline the research progress of engineered exosomes in different tissue repairs,and explore the therapeutic potential of engineered exosomes in tissue repair.METHODS:PubMed database was searched for relevant literature published between 2010 and 2024 using the search terms"engineered exosomes,tissue repair,biomaterials,tissue engineering,wound healing,parenchyma,bone regeneration,cartilage,neural,myocardial,hepatic."Studies that were not closely related to the article's theme,of poor quality,repetitive,or outdated were excluded.A total of 115 articles met the inclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Functional loading is used to combine therapeutic molecules with exosomes to obtain additional properties or to enhance the original physiological function of the exosome,among which ultrasonication and extrusion are simple to operate and can obtain higher drug loading capacity at the same time.(2)Surface modification can make exosomes express desired proteins or enhance their targeting,including genetic engineering and chemical modification.Genetic engineering is complicated,poorly reproducible,and the end product is poorly controllable.Chemical modification,on the other hand,is relatively simple and versatile,and is more suitable for designing highly targeted and functionally specific engineered exosomes.(3)Among the techniques for pre-treating cells to obtain engineered exosomes,hypoxic pre-treatment is more widely used because of its simplicity and clearer mechanism,which can activate glycolysis to promote cell proliferation,and regulate the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway through the generation of hypoxia-inducible factors to promote angiogenesis.(4)The function of exosomes is affected by various factors such as cell source,cell state,synthesis process,and extracellular environment.If the engineering strategy is complicated,it is more difficult to ensure the functional consistency of the final engineered exosomes,so the relatively simple and reliable engineering strategy is more suitable for its clinical application.(5)Engineered exosomes combined with biomaterials or scaffolds can be used to treat complex wounds of skin soft tissue,such as infected wounds and diabetic ulcers.This approach enhances exosome delivery and controls their release,promotes tissue repair,controls infection,and regulates the local microenvironment of the wound.(6)A single mechanism of engineered exosomes is often ineffective due to the specificity of the bone tissue fracture,so dual or even multi-functional engineered exosomes are needed to promote fracture repair while anti-inflammatory or remodeling the vascular system.(7)The source of exosomes has a significant impact on neural tissue repair.Exosomes derived from different neural cells promote neural repair through different effects.In addition,the combination of stents and engineered exosomes for traumatic brain injury has obvious advantages,the stent itself provides hemostasis and support,combined with the engineered exosomes itself to promote the repair effect,can obtain better therapeutic effect.(8)In cardiac and hepatic tissue repair,it is needed to develop anti-fibrotic engineered exosomes to resist the abnormal repair of cardiac and hepatic tissues themselves,which will require further research in the future.

Patients with Takayasu arteritis combined with aortic valve disease often have a poor prognosis following surgical valve replacement, frequently encountering complications such as perivalvular leakage, valve detachment, and anastomotic aneurysm. This article presents a high-risk case wherein severe aortic valve insufficiency associated with Takayasu arteritis was successfully managed through transcatheter aortic valve implantation via the transapical approach. The patient had satisfactory valve function with no complications observed during the six-month postoperative follow-up. This case provides a minimally invasive and feasible alternative for the clinical management of such high-risk patients.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of undernutrition and its associated factors among left behind and non left behind primary and secondary school students in the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students (NIPRCES) areas of central and western China, so as to provide evidence for improving the nutritional status of children and adolescents. Methods: A survey was conducted among 123 782 students selected by random cluster sampling method in grades 3-9 from NIPRCES in central (Hebei, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hunan, Hubei, and Hainan) and western (Gansu, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Tibet, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Xinjiang, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, Yunnan, Qinghai, and Chongqing) China in 2023. Anthropometric measurements and questionnaires were used to assess nutritional and dietary status. The prevalence of undernutrition was compared between left behind and non left behind students by Chi square test, and associated factors were analyzed by three level Logistic mixed effects model. Results: The prevalence of undernutrition was 8.5% (4 326) in left behind students and 8.1% (5 905) in non left behind students. Three level Logistic mixed effect model analysis showed that whether left behind or non left behind, the undernutrition rates of primary and secondary students in western regions were higher than those of students in central regions [ OR (95% CI )=1.72(1.57-1.87),2.25(2.07- 2.43 )]; the undernutrition risk was lower for those whose fathers had a cultural level of high school or above [ OR (95% CI )=0.69(0.62-0.77),0.90(0.82-0.98)] or junior high school [ OR (95% CI )=0.72(0.66-0.79),0.92(0.85-0.99)] compared to those with primary school or below; picky eating or selective eating increased the risk of undernutrition [ OR (95% CI )=2.36(2.07-2.68),2.28(2.04-2.55)], and primary and secondary school students without nutritional content in health education classes had higher rates of undernutrition [ OR (95% CI )=1.12(1.03-1.23),1.09(1.01-1.17)](all P <0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of undernutrition is slightly higher in left behind primary and secondary students than in non left behind primary and secondary students in central and western NIPRCES areas, with variations across different characteristics.

Objective: To analyze the trends of the frequency of meat, egg, and milk consumption among rural primary and junior high school students in central and western China covered by the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students (NIPRCES) from 2015 to 2023, so as to provide basis for formulating more targeted nutrition intervention policies and health education strategies. Methods: Using data from six rounds of monitoring and evaluation (2015-2021 and 2023), the study included 323 870 students from grade 3 to 9 across 22 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in central and western China. The consumption frequencies of meat, egg, and milk over the past week were collected via questionnaires. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to analyze temporal trends, and multivariable Logistic regression models were employed to analyze factors associated with the frequency of meat, egg and milk consumption and to test for interaction effects between the year and gender, region, and grade level. Results: From 2015 to 2023, the proportion of students consuming meat, egg, and milk ≥1 time/day increased from 23.20 %, 10.71%, and 0.74% to 35.53%, 22.09%, and 26.63%, respectively. Trend tests indicated a significant upward trend for the daily intake of all three food categories for meat, egg and milk over the years ( Z =67.18, 64.90, 93.14, all P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the daily meat intake was lower in the central region than in the western region ( OR=0.77, 95%CI =0.76-0.78), whereas the daily intake of eggs ( OR=1.19, 95%CI =1.17-1.22) and milk ( OR= 1.27 , 95%CI =1.24-1.29) was higher in the central region (all P <0.05). Compared with grade 3-4 students, junior high school students had lower daily intake of meat, eggs, and milk≥1 time/day ( OR =0.95, 0.77, 0.77, all P <0.05), with a declining trend as grade increased. Girls also had lower daily intake of meat, eggs, and milk ≥1 time/day than boys ( OR =0.95，0.93，0.91, all P < 0.05). Significant interactions were observed between year and region, as well as between year and grade (all P <0.05). Conclusion From 2015 to 2023, the NIPRCES improved the intake level of among rural students, but the situation of relatively insufficient intake of egg and milk among females, junior high school students and those in the western region still exists.

Objective To assess the echogenicity of the ultrasound-guided catheter and its associated delivery system. Methods The study consisted of in vitro characterization experiments and animal studies. In the in vitro phase, the acoustic and mechanical properties of the ultrasound-guided catheter were compared with those of the traditional MPA2 catheter, including parameters such as echo intensity, recognizability, and angle dependence. In the animal experiments, a ventricular septal defect (VSD) model was established in miniature pigs to compare the procedural performance of the ultrasound-guided delivery system versus the conventional system. Evaluation indicators included the time required for the system to cross the VSD, the detection rate of the system within the right ventricle, and the occurrence of intraoperative complications. Results The ultrasound-guided catheter demonstrated a significantly higher mean echo intensity than the MPA2 catheter [(237.3±1.8) dB vs. (190.9±13.1) dB, P<0.001] and a markedly improved recognizability rate (82.3%±5.6% vs. 26.7%±3.2%, P<0.001), along with better angle independence and image quality. In animal experiments, the ultrasound-guided delivery system significantly reduced the time required to cross the VSD [(18.5±5.7) min vs. (30.3±4.5) min, P<0.001] and substantially increased the detection rate within the right ventricle (100.0% vs. 30.0%). No severe complications occurred in any experimental animal. Conclusion The ultrasound-guided catheter and its corresponding delivery system exhibite superior ultrasound visibility and operational performance in both in vitro and animal experiments, indicating strong potential for clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the effects of methylphenidate combined with exercise intervention on at-tention,self-awareness and problem behaviors in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 106 children with ADHD receiving methylphenidate treat-ment.Based on whether exercise intervention was applied,participants were divided into the joint intervention group(n=49)and the control group(n=57).The Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test,Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale,and Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire(PSQ)were used to measure children's attention,self-awareness,and problem behaviors.Results:After intervention,children in the joint inter-vention group had shorter reaction time,fewer omissions and errors,and lower PSQ scores(in all dimensions except anxiety and depession)than those in the control group.Additionally,their scores on the full response control quo-tient,full attention quotient,auditory response control quotient,visual response control quotient,auditory attention quotient and visual attention quotient,and Piers-Harrisscores in each dimension were higher than those in the control group(Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:Methylphenidate combined with exercise intervention could effectively enhance at-tention and self-awareness of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,and reduce problem behaviors.

Coronavirus-related diseases pose a significant challenge to the global health system. Given the diversity of coronaviruses and the unpredictable nature of disease outbreaks, the traditional "one bug, one drug" paradigm struggles to address the growing number of emerging crises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for therapeutic agents with broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus activity. Here, we provide evidence that ATV006, an anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleoside analog targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), has broad antiviral activity against human and animal coronaviruses. Using mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) and human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) as a model, we show that ATV006 has potent prophylactic and therapeutic activity against murine coronavirus infection in vivo. Remarkably, ATV006 successfully inhibits viral replication in mice even when administered 96 h after infection. Due to its oral bioavailability and potency against multiple coronaviruses, ATV006 has the potential to become a useful antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2 and other circulating and emerging coronaviruses in humans and animals.

Hospital culture is an important value dimension for evaluating a hospital's comprehensive competitiveness and soft power,playing a significant role in the high-quality development of public hospitals.However,the construction and for-mation of hospital culture is a long-term and arduous process,which needs to be promoted and implemented through effective car-riers.The"Youth Civilization"campaign is a mass initiative aimed at fostering the development of professional youth and advan-cing vocational excellence.It is guided by the shared principles of"dedication,collaboration,excellence,and contribution",and employs fundamental approaches such as scientific management,human-centered management,self-management,and various job-related innovation and excellence activities.Through practice,it cultivates collectives with"strong political integrity,noble professional ethics,outstanding vocational skills,exemplary work conduct,and remarkable job performance",while also nurtur-ing young talents.Carrying out the activity of striving for"Youth Model Unit Award"in the national health sector is an important measure for the country to comprehensively deepen the reform of the medical and health system,optimize the quality of medical services,and improve patients'satisfaction with medical treatment.Taking the practice and exploration of the"Youth Model Unit Award"activity carried out by a three A-level public hospitals as an example,this paper expounds the positive role of"Youth Model Unit Award"activity as an important carrier and effective means of hospital cultural construction in improving social bene-fits,talent benefits,displaying a good professional image,enhancing people's sense of health and happiness,and building peo-ple's satisfactory hospitals.
