Objective: To explore the network structure of dietary intake and physical fitness subtypes among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide precise and efficient intervention guidance for improving abnormal physical health issues in adolescents. Methods: Based on the 2020-2021 Database of Youth Health (DYH), a total of 9 730 junior and senior high school students in Shandong Province were included for analysis. Dietary intake was assessed using a modified Chinese Dietary Quality Questionnaire, and physical fitness was evaluated according to the "2014 National Student Physical Fitness Standard". The Kmeans clustering algorithm was employed to identify potential subtypes of physical fitness in junior and high school students. Network analysis was used to construct a network linking dietary intake and physical fitness symptoms and to identify clusters of dietary behaviors and physical fitness symptoms among adolescents of different genders. Results: The physical fitness among junior and senior high school students of different genders were categorized into two subtypes: the baseline steady type (3 427 male students, 4 039 female students) and the morphological deviation type (1 294 male students, 970 female students). Statistically significant differences were observed in network strength and network connectivity strength among different genders and physical fitness subtypes (all P<0.05). Connections between food intake and physical health symptom clusters across different genders and physical health types among junior and senior high school students were primarily achieved through instant noodle intake and physical fitness (males of morphological deviation type, weight=0.06), fruit intake and physical fitness (males of baseline steady type, weight=-0.07), potato intake and vital capacity (females of morphological deviation type, weight=0.09), and processed meat intake and vital capacity (females of baseline steady type, weight=0.05). Conclusions Dietary intake serves as a significant modifiable risk factor for the physical fitness of junior and high school students. Interventions should focus on promoting healthy eating habits.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics，laboratory tests，endoscopic features，treatment，and follow-up of peptic ulcers caused by eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders（EGIDs）in children，with the aim of improving the level of understanding，diagnosis and treatment of EGIDs in children with the onset of peptic ulcers.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on children admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology，Capital Center for Children's Health，Capital Medical University from January 1st，2019 to October 31st，2023，who underwent complete endoscopic examination. The first examination showed the presence of peptic ulcers（gastric or duodenal ulcers）under the endoscope，and were ultimately diagnosed with peptic ulcers caused by EGIDs through examination and follow-up. The clinical characteristics，laboratory tests，endoscopic results，and treatment follow-up were analyzed.Results:Thirty-five children were EGIDs，22 males and 13 females.Twenty-two cases（62.9%）had abdominal pain as the main symptom.Laboratory tests：17 cases（48.6%）showed a decrease in hemoglobin，15 cases（42.9%）showed an increase in eosinophil count，20 cases（57.1%）tested gastro positive for food allergen specific IgE，and 17 cases（48.6%）showed thickening of the intestinal wall on gastrointestinal ultrasound. Endoscopic features：8 cases（22.9%）showed gastric antral ulcers，including 7 cases（20.0%）with multiple gastric antral ulcers，and 25 cases（71.4%）showed duodenal bulb ulcers.There were 15 cases（42.9%）showed huge ulcers，and 14 cases（40.0%）were located in the duodenal bulb. Comparison of clinical characteristics between children with EGIDs（EGIDs group）and those with peptic ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection（Hp group）：the first clinical symptom in both groups was mainly abdominal pain，but the incidence rate in the EGIDs group was lower（62.9% vs 93.5%），and the weigth for length Z score in the EGIDs group was lower［0（-1.6，0.8）vs 1.1（0，1.9）］，with statistical significance（all P<0.05）. Comparison of laboratory tests：the EGIDs group showed a statistically significant difference in hemoglobin levels［120（101，124）g/L vs 130（100，138）g/L］，eosinophil count［0.28（0.13，0.71）× 10 9/L vs 0.16（0.08，0.22）×10 9/L］，a positive rate of food allergen specific IgE detection（57.1% vs 32.3%），and a positive rate of intestinal wall thickening detected by gastrointestinal ultrasound（48.6% vs 16.1%）compared with the Hp group（all P<0.05）. Comparison of endoscopic examinations：multiple ulcers in the gastric antrum were more common in the EGIDs group than in the Hp group（20.0% vs 0），and the difference was statistically significant（ P<0.05）. Conclusion:For children with peptic ulcers with onset of abdominal pain，with anemia or malnutrition，or multiple ulcers in the gastric antrum and huge ulcers in the duodenal bulb detected by endoscopy，it is recommended to perform multi site biopsies to help diagnose EGIDs early.

Objective To evaluate an ultrasound-based deep learning radiomics nomogram(DLR_Nomo-gram)for non-invasively differentiating between type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)before surgery.Methods In this study,a cohort of 195 patients diagnosed with EOC was analyzed.Participants were randomly divided into a training set and a testing set at an 8∶2 ratio.Following data preprocessing,region of interest(ROI)delineation,feature extraction and selection,as well as the clipping and extraction of the maximum section sonogram for each sample,three initial models were developed:the radiomics signature(Rad_Sig),the deep transfer learning signature(DTL_Sig),and the clinical signature(Clinic_Sig).Subsequently,an integrated model—referred to as the DLR_Nomogram—was constructed by combining Rad_Sig,DTL_Sig,and Clinic_Sig,and was presented in the form of a nomogram.The performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the corresponding area under the curve(AUC).Results In the testing set,the DLR_Nomogram demonstrated superior predictive performance(AUC:0.951,95%CI:0.876～1.000)compared to Rad_Sig(AUC:0.709,95%CI:0.539～0.880),DTL_Sig(AUC:0.842,95%CI:0.712～0.972),and Clinic_Sig(AUC:0.916,95%CI:0.827～1.000).The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test for the DLR_Nomogram resulted in a p-value exceeding 0.05,indicating adequate model calibration.Moreover,decision curve analysis revealed that the DLR_No-mogram offers a higher net clinical benefit across a defined range of threshold probabilities.Conclusions The ultrasound-based DLR_Nomogram exhibits a robust ability to differentiate between Type Ⅰ and Type Ⅱ EOC,and may serve as a valuable clinical tool for guiding individualized preoperative diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the mediating effect of work engagement on the relationship between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and their innovative behavior, providing insights for enhancing nurses′ innovative practices.Methods:A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit registered nurses from 37 hospitals in Anhui Province between January and March 2022. The Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Nurse Innovative Behavior Scale were utilized to conduct a cross-sectional survey. SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the correlations among nurses′ perception of authentic leadership, work engagement, and innovative behavior, while AMOS 26.0 was employed to assess the mediating effect of work engagement between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and innovative behavior.Results:A total of 3 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 2 994 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the 2 994 participating nurses, 2 907 (97.1%) were female and 87 (2.9%) were male, 1 002 (33.5%) aged 22-25 years, 1 374 (45.9%) aged 26-39 years, 467 (15.6%) aged 40-49 years, and 151 (5.0%) aged 50 years or older. The total scores of the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Nurse Innovative Behavior Scale were (68.23 ± 13.15), (51.49 ± 11.65) and (38.28 ± 8.35) points, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and work engagement ( r=0.473, P<0.01), between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and innovative behavior ( r=0.530, P<0.01), and between work engagement and innovative behavior ( r=0.553, P<0.01). The mediating effect analysis indicated that work engagement partially mediates the relationship between nurses′ perception of authentic leadership and innovative behavior ( β=0.18, P<0.01), with a mediation effect ratio of 34.62%. Conclusions:Nurses′ perception of authentic leadership can indirectly influence their innovative behavior through work engagement. It is recommended that nursing managers prioritize the enhancement of authentic leadership and foster work engagement among nurses to stimulate their innovative behavior.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of different processed products of Baiyaojian and its compound Xiangmei pills in rats with ulcerative colitis（UC） by comparing the pharmacodynamic and metabolomic differences. MethodEighty SD rats were acclimatized and kept for 3 d， and randomly divided into 8 groups［blank group， model group， mesalazine group（0.4 g·kg^-1）， Baiyaojian group（1.89 g·kg^-1）， stir-fried Baiyaojian group（1.89 g·kg^-1）， carbonized Baiyaojian group（1.89 g·kg^-1）， and Xiangmei pills low and high dose groups（1.89， 5.67 g·kg^-1）］， with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the blank group were administered physiological saline by gavage， and rats in the remaining 7 groups were orally administered 5% dextran sodium sulfate（DSS） solution daily for 8 consecutive days to induce UC model. After successful modeling， each dosing group was given the corresponding dose of drug solution by gavage， and the blank and model groups were given equal amounts of saline by gavage， and the drug was administered continuously for 8 d. Then serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin（IL）-6， IL-10 and IL-1β were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）， hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of colon tissue， the proportion of T helper 17 cells（Th17） and regulatory T cells（Treg） in the peripheral blood of rats in each group was detected by flow cytometry. The endogenous metabolites in serum of rats were detected by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）， and the differential metabolites were characterized by combining principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）， and were analyzed according to the variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1.0 and P<0.05， and potential metabolic pathways were analyzed according to Human Metabolome Database（HMDB）. ResultCompared with the blank group， the colon tissue of the model group was congested and the mucosa was ulcerated， the colon length was significantly reduced（P<0.01） and the quality was significantly increased（P<0.05）， the proportion of Th17/Treg in the peripheral blood and the serum levels of TNF-α， IL-6 and IL-1β were significantly increased， while the IL-10 expression wassignificantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the colon tissue of UC rats in each treatment group was improved with scattered ulcers， reduced inflammatory cell infiltration， significantly increased colon length， and significantly decreased mass（P<0.05）， the proportion of Th17/Treg in the peripheral blood decreased， the expression of TNF-α，IL-6 and IL-1β was significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）， while the IL-10 expression was significantly increased（P<0.01）. The therapeutic effect of different administration groups on UC was in the order of high dose group of Xiangmei pills>low dose group of Xiangmei pills>carbonized Baiyaojian group>stir-fried Baiyaojian group>Baiyaojian group. And a total of 26 differential metabolites were screened in the metabolomics results. Compared with the blank group， 14 differential metabolites were up-regulated and 5 metabolites were down-regulated in the model group， and 14， 9， 14， 12 and 17 metabolites could be recalled in the Baiyaojian group， stir-fried Baiyaojian group， carbonized Baiyaojian group， Xiangmei pills low and high dose groups. The main metabolic pathways involved were citrate cycle pathway， pantothenic acid and coenzyme A biosynthesis pathway， aromatic hydrocarbon receptor（AhR） signaling pathway， glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway. ConclusionThe therapeutic effect of Baiyaojian on UC is significantly improved after charcoal stir-frying， and the efficacy is more prominent when combined with Angelicae Dahuricae Radix and Mume Fructus Carbonisata， which can provide a basis for the development of Baiyaojian compound preparations.

Objective To explore the significance of milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8(MFGE8)and the polarization of macrophage M1/M2 in peripheral blood for assessing neurological deficits in patients with stroke.Methods A total of 120 patients diagnosed with stroke in the Second Central Hospital of Baoding from January 2021 to December 2022 who did not die during the follow-up period were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into two groups based on the outcomes of their neurological function recovery:a favorable prognosis group(68 patients)and an unfavorable prognosis group(52 patients).The differences of blood biochemical indices,the concentrations of MFGE8 in peripheral blood,and the M1 to M2 macrophage ratio were compared in both groups;The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)was used to evaluate the extent of neurological damage;Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of neurological function recovery in stroke patients and the predictive value of patient prognosis;Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between MFGE8 and the degree of neurological function impairment in patients.Results The levels of MFGE8 and proportion of M2 macrophages in the favorable prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the unfavorable prognosis group[MFGE8(ng/L):1 587.69±389.28 vs.1 008.78±456.89,proportion of M2 macrophages:(6.54±1.28)%vs.(3.21±0.89)%,both P<0.05],conversely,the proportion of M1 macrophages in the favorable prognosis group was significantly lower than that in the unfavorable prognosis group[(2.32±0.36)%vs.(6.54±1.28)%,P<0.05].Multiple Logistic regression analysis identified age,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),levels of MFGE8,length of hospital stay,NIHSS score,and the M1/M2 macrophage ratio as independent risk factors for neurological function recovery in stroke patients[odds ratio(OR)and 95%confidence interval(95%CI)were 1.23(1.05-1.44),0.78(0.64-0.95),2.44(1.40-4.21),1.95(1.12-3.38),0.24(0.10-0.58),1.25(1.04-1.48),1.45(1.07-1.94),1.23(1.05-1.44),Pvalues were 0.01,0.01,0.00,0.02,0.00,0.02,0.01,0.00 respectively].Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated a significant negative correlation between MFGE8 levels and neurological deficits(r=-0.32,P=0.00),whereas the M1/M2 macrophage ratio was significantly positively correlated with neurological deficits(r=0.41,P=0.00).Receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)analysis indicated that the MFGE8 level could predict poor prognosis in stroke patients with area under the curve(AUC)=0.797,95%CI was 0.718-0.876,P=0.000;the optimal cut-off value being 1 123.8 ng/L with a sensitivity of 79.4%and specificity of 69.2%.Conclusion MFGE8 levels and the polarization of M1/M2 macrophages in peripheral blood are crucial for evaluating and influencing the recovery of neurological deficits in stroke patients.

Objective:To investigate the value of three-dimensional (3D) T 1WI structural images using different acceleration methods including parallel acquisition technique, joint compressed sensing (uCS) technique, and artificial intelligence-assisted compressed sensing (ACS) technique for brain region segmentation. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, fifty patients (female: n=25, age range: 13 to 87 years old) at Corning Hospital of Ningbo University from July to September 2023 were prospectively and consecutively collected. All the subjects underwent brain MRI. Six groups of 3D T 1WI structural images were obtained using different acceleration technique and parameters, including 3D T 1WI without acceleration factor (3D-T 1WI group), 3D T 1WI with parallel acquisition technique with acceleration factor 3 (3D-T 1WI-PI-3 group), 3D T 1WI with uCS technique with acceleration factor 4.5 and 6.9 (3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-6.9 group), 3D T 1WI by ACS technique with acceleration factors of 3 and 5 (3D-T 1WI-ACS-3 group, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-5 group). T 2WI fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images were also acquired. Subjective scores (cerebral grey matter and white matter clarity scores, clarity scores of cerebral white matter degeneration lesions in relation to the surrounding white matter, and Gibbs artifact scores) and objective metrics [signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), cerebrospinal fluid signal homogeneity, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM), and natural image quality evaluator (NIQE)] were used to evaluate image quality in different groups. Totally 109 brain regions were segmented and volumes were measured using the uAI Research Portal image analysis tool. Kappa or intraclass correlation coefficient ( ICC) was used to evaluate the agreement of subjective and objective evaluation indexes between the 3D-T 1WI-PI-3 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-6.9 group, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-3 group, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-5 group, and 3D-T 1WI group. Kappa or ICC value>0.70 was considered as good agreement. Results:The acquisition time for the 3D-T 1WI group, 3D-T 1WI-PI-3 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-6.9 group, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-3 group, and 3D-T 1WI-ACS-5 group were 527, 204, 169, 95, 133, 90 s, respectively. Subjective evaluation showed that the 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-3, and 3D-T 1WI-ACS-5 groups had excellent agreement with the 3D-T 1WI group in terms of the distribution of cases of cerebral grey matter and white matter clarity scores, respectively (all Kappa value=1.000); The distribution of cases of clarity score of cerebral white matter lesions and surrounding white matter in the 3D-T 1WI-PI-3 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5 group, and 3D-T 1WI-ACS-3 group were in good agreement with that of the 3D-T 1WI group ( Kappa values of 0.775, 0.701, and 0.777, respectively); the distribution of the number of cases of the Gibbs artifact score of the 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-3, and 3D-T 1WI-ACS-5 groups was in good agreement with the 3D-T 1WI group (all Kappa value=1.000). Objective evaluation showed the CNR of the images in the 3D-T 1WI-PI-3, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5, and 3D-T 1WI-uCS-6.9 groups were in good agreement with those of the 3D-T 1WI group ( ICC of 0.720, 0.759, and 0.752, respectively); PSNR and SSIM were in good agreement among the 3D-T 1WI-PI-3 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-6.9 group, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-3 group, and 3D-T 1WI-ACS-5 group (PSNR: ICC=0.854; SSIM: ICC=0.851). NIQE of 3D-T 1WI-PI-3 group, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5 group, and 3D-T 1WI-ACS-3 group images were in good agreement with the 3D-T 1WI group ( ICC value of 0.866, 0.727, 0.753, respectively). The ICC values of the volume of each segmented brain region among the 3D-T 1WI-PI-3, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-4.5, 3D-T 1WI-uCS-6.9, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-3, 3D-T 1WI-ACS-5 group and the 3D-T 1WI group images showed decreased in order (all ICC≥0.62). Conclusions:The uCS and ACS techniques used in 3D-T 1WI show high agreement with 3D-T 1WI in terms of brain segmentation. The application of these accelerating techniques can significantly shorten the acquisition time with obtaining images with good image quality, displaying great value.
