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 To investigate serum exosomal miRNA spectrum in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and eval-uate its clinical value in the diagnosis of GDM complicated with premature delivery.Methods Serum samples of pregnant women with GDM registered and delivered in our hospital were collected and divided into the premature delivery group and term labor group based on pregnancy outcomes,with 22 cases in each group.Serum exosomal miRNAs were sequenced,and the differentially expressed miRNAs were further verified by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drew according to the verified expression level of miRNAs,and the value of exosomal miRNAs in the diagnosis of GDM complicated with premature de-livery was analyzed.The potential functions of candidate miRNAs were predicted using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG).Results A total of 94 differentially expressed miRNAs,including 50 up-regulated and 44 down-regulated,were identified in the premature delivery group and term labor group.The verification results of fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that 7 miRNAs had significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).Moreover,the expression trend was consistent with the sequencing results.The analysis results of the ROC curve showed that the seven miRNAs had good diagnostic efficacy for GDM combined with premature delivery.The areas under the ROC curve(AUCROC)of hsa-miR-16-5p,hsa-miR-25-3p,hsa-miR-30b-5p,and hsa-miR-92a-3p were all more than 0.7.Their sensitivity and specificity were 0.375 and 1.000,0.563 and 0.941,0.563 and 0.824,and 0.765 and 0.647,respectively.The binary logistic regression analysis showed that the AUCROC of the combination of hsa-miR-16-5p,hsa-miR-25-3p,hsa-miR-30b-5p,and hsa-miR-92a-3p for the diagnosis of GDM complicated with premature delivery increased to 0.982,and that its sensi-tivity and specificity were both more than 0.850.These candidate miRNAs were related to the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway,actin cytoskeleton regulatory pathway,mTOR signaling pathway,and P53 signaling pathway.Conclusion Serum exosomal miRNAs in GDM patients complicated with premature delivery have significant difference,which may be served as potential diagnostic markers.

Objective To exploring the correlation of serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and amyloid A protein(SAA)levels with cerebral microbleeds(CMBs)in patients with cerebral small vascular disease.Methods The study involved 204 patients with cerebral small vascular disease from the neurology department of Anhui No.2 Provincial People's Hospital.According to whether cerebral microbleeds occurred,they were catego-rized into a CMBs group(n=117)and a non-CMBs group(n=87).The baseline data of two groups of patients were campared.The risk factors of cerebral microbleeds were identified and the serum ALP and SAA leves in the CMBs group across different degrees and locations were compared.Correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between the serum ALP,SAA levels,and the severity of cerebral microbleeds.ROC curves was used to evaluate their diagnostic value for cerebral microbleeds.Results Age,hypertension rate,serum ALP and SAA levels in the CMBs group were higher than those in the non-CMBs group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,hypertension,serum ALP,and SAA levels were independent risk factors for cerebral microbleeds(P<0.05).ROC curves showed that the AUC values of serum ALP and SAA alone for predicting cerebral microbleeds were 0.801,0.813.If in combination,the AUC value was 0.914 which is higher.Correlation analysis showed that the serum ALP and SAA levels were positively correlated with the severity of cerebral microbleeds(P<0.001),Meanwhile,there was no statistically significant difference between the serum ALP and SAA levels and different locations of cerebral microbleeds(P>0.05).Conclusions Elevated serum ALP and SAA levels in patients with cerebral small vessel disease are closely related to cerebral microbleeds.Early combined detection can effectively predict the risk of cerebral microbleeds.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics and follow-up status of pediatric patients with hepatic glycogen storage disease in order to further improve the prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of hospitalized children diagnosed with hepatic glycogen storage disease in the Department of Gastroenterology at the Children's Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2010 to April 2023 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The results of laboratory examination and gene sequencing were analyzed, and the number of cases that exceeded three (n) were grouped according to the genetic results: Group 1 was type Ⅰ ( n=8), Group 2 was type Ⅲ ( n=5), and Group 3 was type Ⅸa ( n=8).The growth, development and prognosis of the children were followed up. The related clinical characteristics of pediatric hepatic glycogen storage disease were summarized. Results:Twenty-five pediatric patients with hepatic glycogen storage disease were enrolled in this study, with fifteen males and ten females. The mean age of diagnosis was (29.1±13.5) months. There were twelve cases (48%) accompanied with varying degrees of hypoglycemia, and two cases (8%) with severe hypoglycemia.There were nineteen cases with stature retardation (76%), four cases with anemia (16%), three cases with proteinuria (12%), and one case with cholestasis (4%).The genetic results showed that there were four cases of type Ⅰa (16%), four cases of type Ⅰb (16%), one case of type Ⅱ (4%), five cases of type Ⅲ (20%), two cases of type Ⅳ (8%), one case of type Ⅵ (4%), and eight cases of type Ⅸ (32%).The three subgroups analysis showed that there were significant statistical differences in uric acid and triglycerides among the three groups ( P<0.05), while there were no statistical significant differences in transaminase levels, fasting blood glucose, lactate, cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein levels ( P>0.05). The height-for-age Z scores of the three groups were -2.86±1.62, -1.46±1.06, and -1.83±0.98, respectively. The growth and development of groups 2 and 3 were significantly improved compared with group 1 ( P<0.05), with Z scores of -2.28±1.07, 0.20±1.54, and 0.10±1.44 after at least one year of follow-up. All pediatric patients with type Ⅸa had discontinued using raw corn starch after more than one year of follow-up and their transaminases had returned to normal. Four pediatric patients with type Ia were orally administered raw corn starch on a regular basis, and the aminotransferases, uric acid, and lactate were normal, with hypoglycemia being monitored. Among the four cases with type Ⅰb, one had recurrent respiratory tract and intestinal infections, two were combined with Crohn's disease, and one was monitored for hypoglycemia. In four cases of type Ⅲ, raw corn starch was discontinued, and a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet was adopted, with the exception of the presence of high creatine kinase and normal aminotransferase. Liver failure resulted in the death of one type Ⅵ case, while two were type Ⅳ cases; one died, and one case recently had slightly elevated aminotransferase. Conclusion:When pediatric patients exhibit manifestations such as hepatomegaly, elevated transaminases, fasting hypoglycemia, and delayed growth and development, it is necessary to be alert to hepatic glycogen storage disease. Clinical manifestations and biochemical indicators combined with genetic testing are helpful for the diagnosis of hepatic glycogen storage disease. Simultaneously, targeted nutritional management should be carried out according to the metabolic characteristics of different subtypes, with attention on growth and development status.

BackgroundCognitive function is closely related to an individual's quality of life and social functioning， with approximately 20%~35% of patients with depressive disorder experiencing some degree of cognitive impairment even after clinical symptom remission. Existing evidence suggests that tACS can improve specific cognitive domains， such as memory function， while its effects on other cognitive dimensions， such as executive functioning， attention， and information processing speed， remain unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the effects of tACS on the multidimensional cognitive functions and emotional problems of patients with depressive disorder， thus to provide references for the treatment of depressive disorder. MethodsForty-nine patients with depressive disorder who were hospitalized in the Fourth People's Hospital of Wuhu from November 2022 to October 2024 and met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5）， were selected as study participants. Subjects were randomly divided into study group （n=23） and control group （n=26） based on Microsoft Excel. Both groups received sertraline treatment. The initial dose was 50 mg/day， which gradually titrated upward based on individual variability， drug tolerance， and therapeutic response， with a maintenance dose ranging from 100 to 200 mg/day. In addition， the study group underwent tACS therapy for 4 weeks， with 5 sessions per week， each lasting 20 minutes. The control group received sham stimulation， in which the stimulus was interrupted after the first 30 seconds. At baseline， the 4^th week， and the 12^th week of treatment， patients were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item （HAMD-17）， Hamilton Anxiety Scale （HAMA）， and MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery （MCCB）. ResultsRepeated measures analysis of variance indicated that both the time effect and the time×group interaction effect for HAMD-17 scores were statistically significant between the two groups （F=260.437， 25.309， P<0.01）. At week 12 of treatment， the HAMD-17 score in the study group was lower than that in the control group （t=4.236， P<0.01）. For HAMA scores， the time effect， group effect， and time×group interaction effect were all statistically significant between the two groups （F=248.082， 4.506， 9.500， P<0.05 or 0.01）. At weeks 4 and 12， study group reported lower HAMA scores compared with control group （t=4.580， 2.608， P<0.05 or 0.01）. Regarding the MCCB scores for attention/vigilance， verbal learning， and overall composite， the time effect， group effect， and time×group interaction effect were all statistically significant between the two groups （F=70.331， 27.882， 51.679， 5.560， 10.948， 7.860， 8.490， 3.874， 5.025， P<0.05 or 0.01）. After intervention， the study group showed significantly higher MCCB scores for attention/vigilance， verbal learning， and overall composite at both week 4 （t=-2.149， -3.530， -2.740， P<0.05） and week 12 （t=-3.534， -3.576， -3.838， P<0.01） when compared to the control group. ConclusionThe combined tACS and sertraline therapy may demonstrate superior efficacy to pharmacotherapy alone in the short term for improving attention/vigilance， verbal learning， overall cognitive function， and anxiety symptoms in patients with depressive disorders. Based on the 12-week outcomes， the combined tACS and sertraline therapy not only sustaine its previously observed advantages in improving cognitive domains and anxiety symptoms， but also demonstrate potentially superior efficacy over monotherapy in alleviating depressive symptoms. ［Fund by Clinical Medical Research Transformation Special Project of Anhui Province （number， 202204295107020065）］

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 explore the protective effect of baicalin on nerve damage in rats with cerebral microbleeds through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)pathway.Methods The rat model of cerebral microbleeds was established by intraventricular injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS),and rats were separated into the model group,the baicalin group(20 mg/kg),the LY294002 group(PI3K inhibitor,10 mg/kg)and the baicalin+LY294002 group(20 mg/kg baicalin and 10 mg/kg LY294002).Rats without LPS injection were served as the control group.The nerve function was evaluated in five groups of rats.Triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining was used to evaluate the cerebral infarction status.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of brain tissue of rats in each group.TUNEL method was used to detect neuronal apoptosis in brain tissue.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to measure tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-17(IL-17)in brain tissue of rats in each group.In addition,Western blot assay was used to measure B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2),Caspase-3,Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax),PI3K,phosphorylated(p)-AKT,AKT,p-eNOS and eNOS proteins in brain tissue of rats.Results Compared with the control group,neurons in the model group was sparse,with fewer cells and disordered arrangement,the nerve function score,infarct area,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-17,apoptosis rate,Bax and Caspase-3 proteins were increased,and Bcl-2,PI3K,p-AKT and p-eNOS proteins were decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the baicalin group showed clear improvement in brain pathological damage,the nerve function score,infarct area,apoptosis rate,Bax and Caspase-3 proteins,TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-17 were decreased,while protein expressions of Bcl-2,PI3K,p-AKT and p-eNOS were increased(P＜0.05).However,the brain tissue damage of the LY294002 group was further aggravated,and the nerve function score,infarct area,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-17,apoptosis rate and the expression of apoptosis proteins Bax and Caspase-3 were increased,the Bcl-2,PI3K,p-AKT and p-eNOS proteins were decreased(P＜0.05).Intervention with LY294002 on basis of baicalin treatment could reverse the improvement effect of baicalin on the above indicators in rats with cerebral microbleeds(P＜0.05).Conclusion Baicalin may exert a protective effect on nerve damage in rats with cerebral microbleeds by activating PI3K/AKT/eNOS pathway.
