Objective:
To explore the early effects of birth weight at different gestational ages on blood pressure trajectory among primary school students, so as to provide evidence for incorporating gestational age birth weight into individualized early warning and intervention strategies for childhood hypertension.
Methods:
From May to November 2023, a purposeful sampling method was used to recruit 1 676 students in grade 1-3 from three primary schools in a certain urban district of Chongqing. Follow up assessments were conducted in May 2024(T1), November 2024(T2), and May 2025(T3). General demographic and birth related information were collected via self administered questionnaires, while height, weight and blood pressure were obtained through physical examinations. Linear mixed effects model was used to analyze the associations between birth weight at different gestational ages and blood pressure trajectories.
Results:
During the T1-T3 period, the systolic blood pressure of boys were 98.5 (93.0, 104.5 ),98.5 (93.5, 105.0), and 97.5 (92.5, 103.5)mmHg, respectively, while the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.5, 65.0), 61.5 ( 57.0 , 65.5), and 60.0 (56.0, 64.0)mmHg, respectively. For girls, the systolic blood pressure were 95.5 (90.0, 102.0),95.5 (90.5, 101.5), and 96.0 (90.5, 101.5)mmHg, respectively, and the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.0, 64.5 ),61.5 (57.5, 65.5), and 59.5 (56.0, 63.0)mmHg, respectively. Through Friedman test within both boys and girls, diostolic blood pressure were statistically significant across three measurements( χ 2=48.85,81.54,both P <0.01). The proportion of normal blood pressure increased , and the proportion of prehypertension and hypertension decreased with time( χ 2=39.72,25.62,both P < 0.01 ). Linear mixed effects model analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, sex, household income monthly, parental education, family history of hypertension and maternal pregnancy complications, large for gestational age had significantly higher trajectories of systolic ( β = 1.50) and diastolic( β =0.94) blood pressure compared to appropriate for gestational age(both P <0.01).
Conclusion
Large for gestational age is associated with elevated blood pressure trajectories during school age, and it may be considered as an early indicator for individualized screening and intervention for childhood hypertension.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide and a major cause of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure. IgAN exhibits marked heterogeneity in clinical presentation, histopathology, and pathogenic mechanisms, contributing to variable treatment responses and prognosisamong patients. Precise risk assessment and individualized intervention are therefore of critical importance. This review systematically traces the evolution of IgAN management from traditional risk stratification toward biomarker-driven precision medicine. We first review the clinical utility and limitations of established risk stratification tools, including the KDIGO guidelines, the Oxford MEST-C classification, and the International IgAN Prediction Tool. We then discuss emerging biomarkers closely linked to disease pathogenesis, including galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1), anti-Gd-IgA1 autoantibodies, B cell activating factor (BAFF), a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), and complement components, as well as the targeted therapies they have informed. In addition, urinary biomarkers and multi-omics approaches show promise for dynamic disease monitoring and individualized risk stratification.

With the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and an aging population,China's traditional segmented health-care delivery model is increasingly inadequate for meeting the growing demand for long-term,systematic health management.In response,the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model has emerged,aiming to enhance the quality and continuity of care through close collaboration between physicians and pharmacists.This paper starts from the concept and origin of"Physician-Phar-macist Co-management"model,focusing on its China-specific advantages shaped by national healthcare policies and clinical real-ities.Unlike the internationally recognized Collaborative Drug Therapy Management(CDTM)model,the Chinese approach re-flects local healthcare structures and needs.Using obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)as a case study,we examine the mod-el's application and value in managing chronic respiratory diseases.Data indicate that,after the implementation of"physician-pharmacist co-management"model in COPD patients,the CAT score decreased by approximately 24%,the annual rate of acute exacerbation-related hospitalizations declined by about 72%,and the proportion of patients with regular pulmonary rehabilitation exercise habits increased by roughly 3.3-fold.Additionally,the percentage of patients without adverse reactions rose from 47.37%to 64.41%,and the vaccination rate increased by about 2.7-fold.These findings demonstrate the model's significant advantages in improving clinical outcomes,enhancing patient adherence,and reducing healthcare costs.Despite benefits,howev-er,the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model in China faces several challenges,including limited public awareness,gaps in pharmacist training,and insufficient policy support.To address these challenges,this study recommends strengthening public education,establishing comprehensive evaluation systems for pharmaceutical professionals,and improving incentive mech-anisms.Overall,the findings suggest that the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model holds considerable promise for im-proving the quality of chronic disease management,enhancing patient adherence,and optimizing healthcare resource utilization in China.

Objective To comparatively analyze the quantitative parameters of culprit and non-culprit plaques in patients with acute coronary syndromes(ACS)with a noninvasive technique of coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA),and to explore the correlation between the quantitative parameters of plaques and culprit plaques.Methods Data were restrospectively collected from 51 ACS patients admitted in some hospital from January to December 2021.The coronary atherosclerotic plaques shown by invasive catheter angiography(ICA)that caused hemodynamic abnormalities and were treated with stenting were defined as offender plaques and enrolled into a culprit plaque group(56 culprit plaques),and other plaques were regarded as non-culprit plaques and divied into a non-culprit plaque group(164 non-culprit plaques).The relationship between culprit plaque and luminal stenosis was analyzed using the chi-square test,and quantitative plaque metrics were compared between the groups.The corelation between quantitative indicators and culprit plaque was analyzed using univariate Logistic regression,and multifactorial Logistic regression analysis was carried out.Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 23.0 software.Results Analysis of plaque imaging data showed that culprit plaque was significantly associated with the degree of luminal stenosis(P<0.05).Statistically significant differences were found beween the two groups and between the culprit plaques resulting in moderate or greater luminal stenosis and non-culprit plaques in total plaque length,total plaque load,calcification load,fibrolipid volume,fibrolipid load,necrotic core volume and necrotic core load(all P<0.05).Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed total plaque length,total plaque load,fibrolipid volume,fibrolipid load,necrotic core volume and necrotic core load were all significantly correlated with culprit plaques(all P<0.05);multifactorial Logistic regress indicated total plaque length and fibrous lipid load were independent risk factors for culprit plaques,and the probability of culprit plaques increased to 1.093 and 1.101 times for every one unit increase in total plaque length and fibrolipid load,respectively.Conclusion Such quantitative parameters of plaques as total plaque length,total plaque load,fibrolipid volume,fibrolipid load,necrotic core volume and necrotic core load reflects the characteristics of culprit plaques effectively.Quantitative plaque parameter analysis based on CCTA facilitates clinicians for early assessment of patients with coronary atherosclerosis,which enables early intervention and prevention of acute coronary syndromes.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):65-71]
