OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of endogenous metabolite mesaconate combined with Sodium lactate Ringer’s injection （LR） on prolonging the golden treatment time window and its resuscitation efficacy in rats with hemorrhagic shock under high-altitude conditions. METHODS Rats were divided into the shock group， LR group， and 5， 20， 50 mg/kg mesaconate+LR groups， with 20 rats in each group， to investigate the effect of additional use of mesaconate on the golden treatment time window. After establishing a model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock under high-altitude conditions in all groups by housing in a hypobaric hypoxia chamber combined with splenic artery transection， rats in the shock group received no resuscitation， while rats in the LR group and mesaconate+LR groups underwent low-pressure resuscitation with LR or mesaconate combined with LR. Blood pressure control， fluid infusion volume， blood loss rate and survival status were observed in each group. Rats were further divided into the normal group， shock group and mesaconate （50 mg/kg）+LR group， with 10 or 20 rats in each group， to evaluate the resuscitation effects after extending the golden treatment time window by additionally using mesaconate. Except for the normal group， the other groups underwent the same procedure to establish an uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock model under high-altitude conditions. Rats in the shock group received no resuscitation. In the mesaconate+LR group， after 3 h of low-pressure resuscitation， bleeding control was performed by ligation of the spleen artery， and the infusion volume and blood loss rate were recorded； subsequently， the rats received LR resuscitation with twice the volume of blood loss. Then， blood gas indicators of the mesaconate+LR group were measured at different time points. Survival rates， indicators related to sublingual microcirculatory perfusion， liver and kidney blood flow， indicators related to the function of vital organs， and lung and brain water content were observed in all groups. RESULTS LR infusion alone could effectively maintain mean arterial pressure （MAP） within 50-60 mmHg for approximately 1 h. The administration of mesaconate combined with LR during hypotensive resuscitation could maintain MAP within 50-60 mmHg for over 3 h， with significantly reduced fluid infusion volume and blood loss rate in 50 mg/kg mesaconate+LR group， compared to the LR group （ P ＜0.05）. In the LR group， rats maintained low pressure for up to 1 hour with a survival rate of 52.94%， and no rats survived beyond 2 h. In the 5， 20 and 50 mg/kg mesaconate+LR groups， rats maintained low pressure for up to 1 h with a survival rate exceeding 80%； in the 20 and 50 mg/kg mesaconate+LR groups， rats maintained low pressure for up to 3 h with a survival rate exceeding 70%. After complete resuscitation with mesaconate combined with LR， the 72 h survival rate of rats was 43.75%， and significant improvements in blood gas parameters were observed compared to the end of the shock phase （ P ＜0.05）. Compared to the shock group， the mesaconate+LR group showed significant recovery in sublingual microcirculatory indicators， and liver/kidney blood flow after complete resuscitation （ P ＜0.05）， with significant reductions in heart， liver and kidney function-related indicators and lung water content （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Mesaconate combined with LR significantly extends the golden treatment time window for hemorrhagic shock in rats under high-altitude conditions， improves blood gas parameters， sublingual microcirculatory perfusion， and liver/kidney blood flow， mitigates vital organ impairment and pulmonary edema， and increases the survival rate of shocked rats.

Objective: To explore the developmental trajectories of depression in children and adolescents and their association with family types, and to analyze the role of being an only child in the context, so as to provide a basis for early identification of mental health issues in children and adolescents. Methods: The study was a secondary analysis based on the existing database of the Jiangsu Provincial Student Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors Monitoring and Intervention Project. A total of 11 502 students who had completed at least two measurements using the Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) between 2022 and 2024, and had complete information on family type, gender, and age, were selected as the study subjects. Latent class trajectory modeling was used to identify depression developmental trajectories. Multinomial Logistic regression was applied to analyze the association between family type and depression developmental trajectories, and the interaction effect of family type and being an only child was tested. Results: Three types of depression developmental trajectories were identified among children and adolescents: low stable type (91.3%, 10 504 students), moderate rising type (4.3%, 500 students), and high declining type (4.3%, 498 students). Significant differences were observed among the different trajectory groups in terms of gender, age, parental education level, family type, baseline CES-D score, and baseline school type ( χ 2/H=17.48, 139.97, 19.72 , 30.77, 1 081.35, 220.81, all P <0.05). Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that, using the low stable type as the reference trajectory group and the nuclear family as the reference family type, after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, and parental education level, single parent families ( OR=1.87, 95%CI= 1.16-3.03) and grandparent headed families ( OR=1.83, 95%CI =1.04-3.21) were significantly associated with the high declining type trajectory (both P <0.05). No significant association was found between family type and the moderate rising type trajectory (all P >0.05). The interaction effect between family type and being an only child was not statistically significant ( LRT=7.71, df=8, P =0.46). Conclusions Depressive symptoms in children and adolescents show heterogeneous developmental patterns during school age. Children and adolescents from single parent and intergenerational families are more likely to follow the high decreasing trajectory.

Objective: To analyze the correlation between the levels of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E with body fat mass percentage(FMP) as well as lifestyle factors among primary school students, so as to provide references for exploring the vitamin nutritional status of primary school students and its potential influencing factors. Methods: From September 1 to October 30, 2021, a cluster sampling method was used to select 750 thirdgrade students from eight primary schools in Luohu District, Shenzhen. Their body composition was measured, and blood samples were collected to detect the serum levels of vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E using a mass spectrometer. Dietary and exercise habits were collected through questionnaires. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test were used for inter group comparisons, spearman correlation was used for correlation analysis,and Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between lifestyle and vitamin content. Results: The overall level of vitamin A in school aged children was 0.4 (0.4, 0.5) mg/L, with a deficiency rate of 0 and a marginal deficiency rate of 5.1%; the level of vitamin D was 26.0 (22.0, 30.0) ng/mL, with a deficiency rate of 0.4% and an insufficiency rate of 12.7%; the content of vitamin E was 11.8 (10.1, 13.5) mg/L, with an insufficiency rate of 0.8%. Spearman correlation analysis showed that vitamin A was positively correlated with FMP in the total population, boys, girls, and normal weight population ( r =0.18, 0.18, 0.20, 0.10), and vitamin D was positively correlated with FMP in the total population and obese population ( r =0.08,0.16)(all P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that marginal deficiency of vitamin A was associated with consumption of animal, snack, and dairy/egg/bean foods ( OR =0.45, 0.55, 0.59); whether vitamin D was deficient was influenced by gender ( OR =2.65) and exercise ( OR = 1.96 ) (all P <0.05). Conclusion Vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E levels are associated with body fat percentage, with significant variations in vitamin status among individuals of different body types, necessitating targeted supplementation.

Objective To investigate the relationship of TyG index and IC.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1000 older adults living in Wanshou Road Community from May to December 2023.Finally 820 participants were enrolled,and based on the TyG index,they were divided into lower TyG index group(≤7.349,404 cases)and higher TyG index group(＞7.349,416 cases).After PSM,there were only 522 participants subjected,including 261 individuals in the lower TyG index group 1 (≤7.349)and 416 ones in the higher TyG index group 2(＞7.349).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the correlation between IC and the TyG index as both continuous and categorical variables.PSM was employed to eliminate the confounding effects of covariates to identify the relationship between TyG index and IC in different categories.Results Before PSM,the neutrophil count,WBC count,and Hcy,FPG,TC,TG and HbA1c levels were significantly lower,and lymphocyte count,monocyte count,and AST level were obviously higher in the low TyG index group than the high TyG index group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).After PSM,the low TyG index group still had notably lower FPG,TG and HbA1c than the high TyG index group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis revealed that the cutoff value of TyG index was 7.349.Taking 7.349 as the cutoff value and TyG index as the cate-gorical variable,multivariate logistic regression analysis displayed that TyG index was correlated with IC[OR=3.921,95％CI:2.800-5.491,P=0.001(Model 1);OR=2.744,95％CI:1.739-4.329,P=0.001(Model 2);OR=2.744,95％CI:1.805-4.171,P=0.001(Model 3);OR=2.722,95％CI:1.530-4.843,P=0.001(after PSM)],indicating that TyG index remains an independent risk factor for IC.Conclusion IC is still correlated with TyG index in community-dwelling elderly individuals under different baseline conditions after adjusting for relevant laboratory indicators.As an indicator generated from routine blood test,TyG index has advantages in terms of cost and time.With further validation,TyG may provide a direction for studying IC prediction.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effects of liraglutide(Lira)on adipocyte brown-ing and its underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate with palmitic acid(PA)simulating a high-fat environment and lenti-viral transfection to silence the expression of PGC1α.The cell groups included control,Lira(100 nmol/L),PA(200 nmol/L),PA+Lira,scrambled siRNA,scrambled siRNA+Lira,siRNA PGC1α,and siRNA PGC1α+Lira groups(n=3).After corresponding treatments were given,quantitative PCR and Western blotting were employed to detect the mRNA and protein expres-sion levels of UCP-1,Prdm16,Agt,and adiponectin,as well as AMPK and p-AMPK.Results Compared to the control group,the PA group had significantly increased expression of Agt and adiponectin but decreased UCP-1 and Prdm16 at protein and mRNA levels,and the Lira group showed obviously increased protein and mRNA levels of UCP-1 and Prdm16 but decreased Agt and adiponectin levels(P＜0.05).Addition of Lira treatment resulted in increments in UCP-1 and Prdm16 while declines Agt and adiponectin at both mRNA and protein levels when compared with the levels in the PA group(P＜0.05).In comparison to the scrambled siRNA group,the siRNA PGC1α group showed decreases in UCP-1 and Prdm16 expression,accompanied by increa-ses in Agt and adiponectin levels(P＜0.05),similar results were observed in the scrambled siRNA+Lira group(P＜0.05).The p-AMPK/AMPK ratio was significantly increased in the scrambled siRNA+Lira group(1.415±0.176 vs 0.837±0.049,P＜0.05),but decreased in the siRNA PGC1α group(0.534±0.035 vs 0.837±0.049,P＜0.01)when compared with the scram-bled siRNA group.Conclusion Lira promotes adipocyte browning and improves lipid metabolism disorders in a high-fat environment by activating the AMPK/PGC1α signaling pathway.

This study was aimed at investigating the effects of demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated protein(FTO)and methyltransferase methyltransferase like protein 3(METTL3),key molecules in N6-methyladenosine(m6A)modification,on the replication and proliferation of Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV).Recombinant lentiviruses were generated by packaging the FTO and green fluorescent protein into lentiviral vectors.Neuro2a cells,a mouse neuroblastoma cell line,were infected with the lentivirus,and stable FTO-expressing cell lines were obtained through puromycin selection.Successful overexpression of FTO was confirmed through fluorescence microscopy,real-time quantitative PCR,and western blot analysis.When Neuro2a cells overexpressing FTO were infected with JEV,the overexpression of FTO decreased JEV replication in the cells,and increased the expression of interferon(IFN)and related molecules.Additionally,treatment of JEV-infected Neuro2a cells with the METTL3-specific inhibitor STM2457 resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in JEV replication and viral protein expression.These findings suggested that lowering m6A methylation levels inhibits JEV replication,thus shedding light on the regulatory role of methylation modification in JEV replication.

Objective To propose a dynamic electrical impedance tomography imaging algorithm based on complementary information fusion network(CIFN)to enhance image quality of dynamic electrical impedance imaging.Methods There were three modules for initialization,multi-frame complementary information extraction and information fusion involved in the CIFN.Firstly,multi-frame dynamic conductivity distribution images were obtained by the initialization module;secondly,spatial complementary information was extracted from the images by using the multi-frame complementary information extraction module;finally,the fusion of lesion target distribution information and target re-reconstruction were realized by the information fusion module to aquire high-quality EIT images.With a 16-electrode multilayer cranial simulation model,the CIFN-based imaging method was compared with Tikhonov regularization algorithm,spectral constraint algorithm and U-Net algorithm in terms of imaging results of types of lesions to verify its performance.Results Compared with the Tikhonov regularization algorithm,spectral constraint algorithm and U-Net algorithm,the proposed CIFN-based algorithm exhibited the lowest mean absolute error(MAE)and the highest structural similarity(SSIM)when used to image different lesion targets,which accurately reconstructed the distribution of lesion targets and gained high imaging stability under common noise levels.Conclusion The proposed CIFN-based imaging algorithm obtains high imaging quality on a cranial simulation model and reconstruction results close to the real model distribution,which provides algorithmic support for subsequent clinical studies on electrical impedance imaging.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):1-6]

OBJECTIVE To explore the distribution of pathogens isolated from the cardiac surgery children with postoperative catheter-related bloodstream infection(CRBSI)and observe the transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)gene polymorphisms and the change of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),Smad homologue 2 and Smad 3 levels.METHODS A total of 88 children who received peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)puncture after cardiac surgery and were complicated with postoperative CRBSI in the First People's Hospital of Zunyi from Aug.2019 to Oct.2023 were assigned as the infection group.Meanwhile,110 children who were trea-ted with PICC and did not have postoperative CRBSI were randomly chosen as the non-infection group.The base-line data,TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms and the levels of hs-CRP,Smad 2 and Smad 3 were compared between the two groups.The distribution of the pathogens isolated from the infection group was observed.The values of hs-CRP,Smad 2 and Smad 3 in diagnosis of the postoperative CRBSI in the cardiac surgery children were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.RESULTS The proportions of patients with intravenous cathe-ter indwelling no less than 10 days,length of intensive care unit(ICU)stay no less than 5 days,the frequencies of CC genotypes and C allele at TGF-β1+869C/T locus were higher in the infection group than those in the non-infection group(P＜0.05).Acinetobacter baumannii was the predominant species of pathogen isolated from the infection group,accounting for 24.20％.The levels of serum hs-CRP,Smad 2 and Smad 3 of the infection group were(24.65±7.65)mg/L,(13.54±2.45)pg/ml and(13.65±2.65)pg/ml,respectively,higher than those of the non-infection group(all P＜0.001).The area under the curve(AUC)of the joint detection of hs-CRP,Smad 2 and Smad 3 was highest in diagnosis of the postoperative CRBSI in the cardiac surgery children(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS A.baumannii is dominant among the pathogens isolated from the cardiac surgery children with postoperative CRBSI.The postoperative CRBSI may be associated with the intravenous catheter in-dwelling time and length of ICU stay.The C allele at TGF-β1+869C/T locus may be the susceptibility gene for the postoperative CRBSI.The joint detection of hs-CRP,Smad 2 and Smad 3 has the highest value in diagnosis of the postoperative CRBSI.

Objective:To construct a clinical decision-making ability indicator system based on evidence-based practice for pediatric nursing interns, and to provide a scientific basis for clinical teaching and evaluation.Methods:A method combining literature analysis, Delphi expert consultation, and empirical research was used. Firstly, a systematic search of Chinese and English databases (2018-2023) was conducted. Literature was screened based on the PICO framework and evidence-based data were extracted, resulting in a preliminary system consisting of 4 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators, and 39 tertiary indicators. Subsequently, the indicators were revised through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation (25 experts with 19-27 years of work experience). The expert authority coefficients (Cr) were 0.898-0.907 and the Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.351-0.420 ( P<0.001). Finally, the analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights, and the reliability and validity were verified through a questionnaire survey (sample size: 30 participants in preliminary survey and 58 participants in formal survey). Results:The constructed indicator system included 4 primary indicators (weights), 13 secondary indicators, and 42 tertiary indicators. The weights of the primary indicators were as follows: knowledge integration ability (0.300), evidence-based practice ability (0.250), clinical judgment ability (0.280), and ethical decision-making ability (0.170). The importance scores of all items exceeded 4.0 points (out of 5 points), and the coefficients of variation were less than 0.20. The reliability and validity tests showed that the Cronbach's α of the overall scale was 0.89, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.88. The cumulative variance contribution rate of exploratory factor analysis was 69.30%. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit with a comparative fit index of 0.93 and a root mean square error of approximation of 0.05. Conclusions:This indicator system has high scientificity and practicality, and can provide a reference for the standardized cultivation and evaluation of clinical decision-making ability of pediatric nursing interns. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen advanced evidence-based skills training and long-term application effectiveness tracking.
