Objective: To assess the association of family food environment with dietary and nutrition literacy among junior and senior high school students, providing a basis for nutritional health education and adolescent nutritional improvement. Methods: From January 9 to February 10, 2025, a total of 1 473 junior and senior high school students aged 12-20 were recruited by using a cluster random sampling method combined with convenient sampling from 15 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) across China. Data on basic demographic characteristics, home food environment, and dietary and nutrition literacy were collected by using the Food and Nutritional Literacy Questionnaire for Chinese School age Children. Multiple linear regression and Logistic regression models were employed to analyze the association of the home food environment on adolescent dietary and nutrition literacy. Results: The total score of dietary and nutrition literacy among junior and senior high school students was (65.28±9.03). The score in the cognitive domain (67.59±10.56) was higher than that in the skill domain (60.74±9.15), and the score for food preparation skills (56.60±14.28) was the lowest. Students aged 16-20, senior high school students, those for only children, non boarding students, those with urban household registration, those from wealthier families, those whose primary caregivers were parents with higher education levels, and those who previously received nutrition and health education had significantly higher dietary and nutrition literacy scores compared to their respective counterpart groups ( t/F =-8.32, -8.14, 4.76, -2.70, 7.15, 18.29, 10.68, 11.66 , all P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that family food environment was associated with dietary and nutrition literacy, and the model was statistically significant ( R 2=0.20, F=20.54, P <0.05). Lower availability of fruits at home in the past month and lower frequency of family communication regarding dietary and nutrition were associated with lower dietary nutrition literacy scores among junior and senior high school students ( β =-1.35, -1.67, both P <0.01). Among junior and senior high school students, lower frequency of dining out with the family, watching videos during family meals, and being urged by parents to eat more food in the past month were associated with higher scores on dietary nutrition literacy ( β =1.35, 1.13, 0.71, all P <0.01). Logistic regression model results indicated that watching videos during family meals ( OR =1.70) and family communication regarding dietary and nutrition ( OR =0.51) were significantly associated with dietary and nutrition literacy levels (both P <0.05). Conclusions The score of dietary and nutrition literacy among junior and senior high school students is relatively low, and the family food environment is a key factor. It is recommended that nutrition education and improvement initiatives for junior and senior high school students prioritize attention on children and adolescents from households with less favorable food environments.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of occupational burnout among bus drivers in Wuhu City and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A survey was conducted in 1 388 bus drivers in Wuhu City from Sep to Nov 2022 using the general information questionnaire,the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey(MBI-GS),and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI).Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of occupational burnout in bus drivers.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between occupational burnout and sleep quality.Results:Among 1 388 bus drivers,642(46.3%)were positive for occupational burnout,and 139(10.0%)were found to have sleep disorders.Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that longer bus driving experience(OR=1.873,95%CI:1.325-2.648),lower monthly income(OR=0.376,95%CI:0.158-0.774),higher smoking frequency(OR=1.313,95%CI:1.188-2.163),higher drinking frequency(OR=1.342,95%CI:1.018-1.769),lower weekly physical exercise frequency(OR=0.367,95%CI:0.243-0.555),and poor sleep quality(OR=13.110,95%CI:7.284-23.594)were the influencing factors of bus driver occupational burnout(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the total score of occupational burnout and its dimension scores were positively correlated with the total score of sleep quality and its dimension scores(rs=0.12-0.83,P＜0.01).Conclusion:The problem of occupational burnout among bus drivers in Wuhu City is relatively serious,and a part of people have sleep problems,which should be paid great attention to and active measures should be taken in time.

Objectives:To explore the influencing factors of inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference(sIAD)in young hypertensive population. Methods:A total of 12 895 young Kailuan employees aged≤40 years,who participated in the physical examination from 2010 to 2020,were enrolled in this study.All of them underwent blood pressure measurements of four limbs in supine position.Young hypertensive group(n=3 584)and young non-hypertensive group(n=3 584)were 1∶1 matched by sex and age(±1 year),and participants were further divided into sIAD＜10 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)and sIAD&ge;10 mmHg subgroups.A stepwise multivariate logistic regression model was established to analyze the determinants of sIAD&ge;10 mmHg. Results:The detection rate of sIAD&ge;10 mmHg was significantly higher in the young hypertensive group than in the young non-hypertensive group(31.72%vs.27.76%,P＜0.001).Stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that in young hypertensive population,ankle-brachial index(ABI)＜0.9,male,obesity,overweight,elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)level,and systolic blood pressure were positively associated with sIAD&ge;10 mmHg,while college education or above,physical exercise were negatively correlated with sIAD&ge;10 mmHg(all P＜0.05).In the young non-hypertensive population,ABI＜0.9,systolic blood pressure were positively correlated with sIAD&ge;10 mmHg,while age was negatively associated with sIAD&ge;10 mmHg(all P＜0.05). Conclusions:The detection rate of sIAD&ge;10 mmHg is higher in young hypertensive population than in young non-hypertensive population.Decreased ABI,male sex,obesity,overweight,increased LDL-C level,systolic blood pressure,college education and above,and physical exercise are the influencing factors of sIAD&ge;10 mmHg in young hypertensive population.

Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid transferase (UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, UGT) is an important Ⅱmetabolic enzymes in the body. It is invovled in the metabolism of exogenous compounds, and also in endogenous substances such as bile acid metabolism and regulation. Parsing uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid transferase mediated bile acid metabolism and its influence factors can help enhance related disease treatment and prevention. Studies have shown that the interaction between UGT and bile acids is influenced by many endogenous and exogenous factors. This paper will focus on the effects of internal and exogenous factors such as nuclear receptors, genetic factors, xenobiotics and liver-related diseases on the action of UGT enzyme, and discuss the potential mechanism of bile acid balance intervention.

Objective:To accurately grasp the current status of water iodine distribution in environmental of Yunnan Province, and provide a basis for scientific iodine supplementation.Methods:In 2017, according to the "National Drinking Water Iodine Content Survey Program", a survey of water iodine content was conducted in townships. In 2018, a search survey was carried out for administrative villages with water samples of iodine content > 40 μg/L in drinking water found in previous surveys. In centralized water supply villages, 2 samples of end water were collected. In decentralized or partially decentralized water supply villages, each village was divided into 5 parts: east, south, west, north and center. In villages with more than 50 water sources, 10% of the water sources were selected from each part; villages with less than 50 water sources, one water source was selected from each part; villages with less than 5 water sources, all the water sources were selected to determine the water iodine content. At the same time, the mode of water supply and demographic data were investigated.Results:At the township level water iodine survey, a total of 24 589 water samples were collected from 1 389 townships in 129 counties of 16 prefectures (cities). The median water iodine content of township was 1.3 μg/L, ranging 0.0 - 9.3 μg/L. The population covered by the survey accounted for 53.94% (25 013 804/46 371 207) of the total population of the province. According to the survey results of high iodine villages, 93 administrative villages in 68 townships of 37 counties in 12 prefectures (cities) were surveyed, covering 40 940 households and 208 880 people. A total of 761 samples of drinking water were tested, and the median water iodine content of administrative villages was 1.3 μg/L (ranging 0.0 - 196.8 μg/L). There were 2 administrative villages with iodine higher than 100 μg/L, which were Xiaobona Administrative Village (145.8 μg/L) in Liuchang Township, Xiangyun County, and Dasongshu Administrative Village (196.8 μg/L) in Yangchang Township, Xuanwei City.Conclusions:The iodine content of water in Yunnan Province is generally low, which belongs to the area of environmental iodine deficiency. For the high iodine villages, further investigation should be carried out to clarify the prevention and control measures.

Objective:To investigate the maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) during pregnancy at advanced maternal age for their second child at advanced maternal age, and to explore the relationship with neonatal outcomes.Methods:This study involved 1 965 women of advanced maternal age who delivered the second child in the Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital from July 1 to December 31, 2017. Clinical data of these women and their newborns were collected through the electronic medical record information system. According to pre-pregnancy BMI, all subjects were divided into four groups: underweight group (<18.5 kg/m 2, n=139), normal weight group (18.5-23.9 kg/m 2, n=1 342), overweight group (24.0-27.9 kg/m 2, n=404) and obese group (&ge;28.0 kg/m 2, n=80). According to the GWG standard recommended by the American Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2009, they were also divided into three groups: inadequate GWG group ( n=478), normal GWG group ( n=884) and excessive GWG group ( n=603). Mann-Whitey U test, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test were used as statistical methods. Effects of pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG on gestational age and birth weight of the newborns were analyzed by binary and multi-class logistic regression models. Results:The median pre-pregnancy BMI of the 1 965 women was 22.1 (20.3-23.9) kg/m 2 and patients with abnormal pre-pregnancy BMI accounted for 31.7% (623/1 965). Their median GWG was 13.0 (10.0-16.0) kg and 55.0% (1 081/1 965) of them were abnormal. Compared with normal pre-pregnant weight women, overweight and obesity subjects were associated with increased risks of preterm birth ( OR=2.100, 95% CI: 1.398-3.156), low birth weight infants (LBWI) ( OR=3.187, 95% CI: 1.892-5.367) and macrosomia ( OR=1.758, 95% CI: 1.182-2.614); pre-pregnancy underweight reduced the incidence of large for gestational age (LGA) infants ( OR=0.476, 95% CI: 0.236-0.960). Compared with the normal GWG group, the inadequate GWG group had increased risks of preterm birth ( OR=2.316, 95% CI: 1.530-3.505) and LBWI ( OR=1.850, 95% CI: 1.103-3.104), while the excessive GWG group showed increased risks of macrosomia ( OR=1.828, 95% CI: 1.225-2.726) and LGA infants ( OR=1.955, 95% CI: 1.448-2.640), but a reduced risk of LBWI ( OR=0.359, 95% CI: 0.193-0.667) and small for gestational age infants ( OR=0.452, 95% CI: 0.240-0.852). Conclusions:Both abnormal pre-pregnancy BMI (underweight, overweight and obese) and GWG (inadequate and excessive) have adverse effects on neonatal outcomes in women of advanced age in pregnancy for their second baby. Weight management should be addressed during the whole pregnancy, including both adjusting the pre-pregnancy BMI to normal range and maintaining reasonable GWG, so as to reduce potential adverse outcomes in newborns.

PEGylation is considered one of the most successful techniques to improve the characteristics of protein drugs including to increase the circulating half-life of proteins in blood and to decrease their immunogenicity and antigenicity. One known PEG modification method is to attach PEG to the free amino group, typically at lysine residues or at the N-terminal amino acid with no selectivity, resulting in a heterogeneous product mixture. This lack of selectivity can present problems when a therapeutic PEGylated protein is being developed, because predictability of activity and manufacturing reproducibility are needed for regulatory approval. Enzymatic PEGylation of proteins is one route to overcome this limitation. Transglutaminases (TGase) are enzyme candidates for site-specific PEGylation. We use human interferon alpha 2a (IFN α2a) as a test case, and predict that the potential modification residues are Gln101 by computational approach as it contains 12 potential PEGylation sites. IFN α2a was PEGylated by Y shaped PEG40k-NH2 mediated by microbial transglutaminase. Our results show that the microbial transglutaminase mediated PEGylation of IFN α2a was site-specific only at the site of Gln101 in IFN α2a, yielding the single mono-conjugate PEG-Gln101-IFN α2a with a mass of 59 374.66 Da. Circular dichroism studies showed that PEG-Gln101-IFN α2a preserved the same secondary structures as native IFN α2a. As expected, the bioactivity and pharmacokinetic profile in rats of PEG-Gln101-IFN α2a revealed a significant improvement to unmodified IFN α2a, and better than PEGASYS.
