Objective: To investigate the prevalence of undernutrition and its associated factors among left behind and non left behind primary and secondary school students in the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students (NIPRCES) areas of central and western China, so as to provide evidence for improving the nutritional status of children and adolescents. Methods: A survey was conducted among 123 782 students selected by random cluster sampling method in grades 3-9 from NIPRCES in central (Hebei, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hunan, Hubei, and Hainan) and western (Gansu, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Tibet, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Xinjiang, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, Yunnan, Qinghai, and Chongqing) China in 2023. Anthropometric measurements and questionnaires were used to assess nutritional and dietary status. The prevalence of undernutrition was compared between left behind and non left behind students by Chi square test, and associated factors were analyzed by three level Logistic mixed effects model. Results: The prevalence of undernutrition was 8.5% (4 326) in left behind students and 8.1% (5 905) in non left behind students. Three level Logistic mixed effect model analysis showed that whether left behind or non left behind, the undernutrition rates of primary and secondary students in western regions were higher than those of students in central regions [ OR (95% CI )=1.72(1.57-1.87),2.25(2.07- 2.43 )]; the undernutrition risk was lower for those whose fathers had a cultural level of high school or above [ OR (95% CI )=0.69(0.62-0.77),0.90(0.82-0.98)] or junior high school [ OR (95% CI )=0.72(0.66-0.79),0.92(0.85-0.99)] compared to those with primary school or below; picky eating or selective eating increased the risk of undernutrition [ OR (95% CI )=2.36(2.07-2.68),2.28(2.04-2.55)], and primary and secondary school students without nutritional content in health education classes had higher rates of undernutrition [ OR (95% CI )=1.12(1.03-1.23),1.09(1.01-1.17)](all P <0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of undernutrition is slightly higher in left behind primary and secondary students than in non left behind primary and secondary students in central and western NIPRCES areas, with variations across different characteristics.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of subanesthetic dose of esketamine on postoperative anxiety and recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS A total of 200 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Suzhou Ninth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from January 2023 to December 2024 were randomly assigned to control group （n＝100） and observation group （n＝100）. One minute before the initiation of anesthesia， patients in the control group received intravenous injections of Propofol emulsion injection， Sufentanil citrate injection， and Succinylcholine chloride injection. On this basis， patients in the observation group received an intravenous injection of Esketamine hydrochloride injection. The anxiety status of patients in both groups was compared， along with their general intraoperative conditions （including sufentanil dosage， duration of pneumoperitoneum， operative time， anesthesia time， and extubation time）， postoperative recovery， incidence of adverse reactions， and the need for dezocine rescue analgesia. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure， entropy index （state entropy and response entropy）， inflammatory marker levels [interleukin-6 （IL-6） and C-reactive protein （CRP）]， numerical rating scale （NRS） for pain intensity were compared between the two groups at different time points. RESULTS No significant differences were found between the two groups in pneumoperitoneum duration， operative time， anesthesia time，extubation time， incidence of postoperative dry mouth， entropy index or length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit （P＞0.05）. Compared with the control group， the observation group showed significantly lower postoperative STAI-S scores， reduced intraoperative sufentanil consumption， decreased incidence of postoperative nausea， vomiting， and shivering， the need for dezocine rescue analgesia， as well as lower plasma IL-6 and CRP levels at 24 h after surgery， and NRS （P＜0.05）. The heart rate and mean arterial pressure of patients in the observation group at the start of surgery， end of surgery， and during extubation were all significantly higher than those in the control group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Subanesthetic dose of esketamine can effectively alleviate postoperative anxiety， reduce intraoperative opioid consumption， suppress postoperative inflammatory response， relieve postoperative pain， and promote recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Animal experimentation constitutes a critical link between basic research and clinical application, making its research quality and translational efficiency paramount. Although considerable progress has been made in standardizing operational procedures and ethical guidelines, the standardization of outcome evaluation systems has significantly lagged, creating a key bottleneck that constrains the quality of biomedical research and evidence synthesis. This deficiency is manifested by pronounced heterogeneity in outcome selection across similar studies, incomplete methodological reporting, and disparate criteria for result interpretation, which severely impairs the comparability of findings and the evidence integration. To cope with this challenge, this paper systematically introduces a mature methodological tool from clinical research–the core outcome set (COS)–and explores its construction strategies and application potential in the field of animal experimentation. Given the extensive diversity of animal experiments, a pragmatic strategy of "focusing on key areas, implementing phased pilots, and promoting gradual expansion" should be adopted. This approach prioritizes the development of domain-specific COS for disease areas characterized by high research volume, urgent translational needs, and well-established animal models. A multi-source integration pathway for COS development is detailed, comprising systematic literature searches, methodological appraisals, and expert consensus, with the feasibility of leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance efficiency also being examined. The development and promotion of such COS are not intended to restrict scientific exploration; rather, they aim to establish a new, tiered evaluation paradigm consisting of "core outcomes" (mandatory), "recommended outcomes" (encouraged), and "exploratory outcomes" (optional). This framework is expected not only to enhance research quality through standardization and to adhere to the "3R" principles but also to accelerate the accumulation of high-quality evidence. This, in turn, provides a solid foundation for higher-level evidence synthesis, ultimately facilitating the effective translation of basic research findings into clinical practice and providing an essential methodological framework for scientific advancement in relevant disciplines.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical global health threat. This review systematically examines AMR surveillance technology advances, from conventional culture methods to modern molecular diagnostics (e.g., whole-genome sequencing) and artificial intelligence-assisted approaches. It focuses on the current application of mass spectrometry, machine learning predictive models, and real-time surveillance networks. To address challenges including inadequate technical standardization, clinical translation barriers, and data-sharing limitations, we propose integrated ^"genotype-phenotype^" strategies and global standardization framework, while exploring future applications of CRISPR-based portable detection, single-cell sequencing, and blockchain technologies.

Objective To analyze personal external exposure dose monitoring results of pet hospital radiation workers in Beijing from 2022 to 2024, and to provide scientific evidence for developing effective monitoring protocols, standardizing radiological practices in pet hospitals, and protecting the health of both workers and the public. Methods Personal dose equivalents, H_p(10), were measured using GR-200A thermoluminescent dosimeters. Monitoring included radiation workers at 286 pet hospitals across all 16 districts of Beijing from 2022 to 2024. Each monitoring cycle lasted no more than 90 days. Annual effective doses were calculated by summing the results of four consecutive quarterly cycles. Data were processed and analyzed using Access and TLPS 6.41 software. All evaluations complied with national laws, regulations, and technical standards. Results A total of 1,579 person-time measurements were recorded. Only 51.87% of workers completed the full four-cycle annual monitoring schedule. Over the study period, the mean annual effective dose was 0.29 mSv, and the median dose was 0.14 mSv. The collective effective dose was 238.34 man-mSv. Notably, 94.26% of workers had annual effective doses below 1.0 mSv, and only 0.12% had doses at or above 5 mSv. Dose levels showed a statistically significant downward trend (P<0.05). Both independent and chain-branded clinics had a median annual effective dose of 0.14 mSv. In independent clinics, the proportion of workers with doses below 1.0 mSv increased from 80.77% in 2022 to 98.82% in 2024. In chain-branded clinics, this proportion rose from 96.88% to 98.11% over the same period. Conclusion Radiation exposure among pet hospital workers in Beijing remains at low levels, well below regulatory limits, and shows an overall declining trend. The disparity in personal doses between independent and chain-branded pet hospitals has diminished over time. Nevertheless, the industry still faces challenges such as high staff turnover and low monitoring completion rates. Expanding monitoring coverage and harmonizing protection standards would provide a scientific basis for precise, nationwide regulation.

Rheumatoid arthritis （RA） is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis as its pathological basis. Although current therapeutic drugs can alleviate symptoms， they are often accompanied by a high risk of side effects. In recent years， the use of flavonoids from traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of RA has garnered significant attention. Studies have shown that the mechanisms by which flavonoids treat RA include inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory factors， regulating multiple cellular signaling pathways， alleviating oxidative stress， modulating immune system functions， inhibiting bone destruction， and suppressing angiogenesis. Due to their notable anti-inflammatory， antioxidant， and immunomodulatory activities， flavonoids hold promise as potential therapeutic agents for RA. A substantial number of articles in this field have been published. By reviewing Chinese and international literature and applying bibliometric and visual analysis using CiteSpace， this paper explored research hotspots and frontiers in this field， systematically reviewed the structures and anti-RA mechanisms of TCM flavonoids， provided a theoretical basis for their use in RA treatment and clinical applications， and offered new perspectives and references for the discovery of novel TCM-based anti-RA drugs.

Objective: To investigate the relationship of metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) with bone mineral content (BMC) and bone metabolic markers levels among adolescents, so as to provide a scientific foundation for the early identification and prevention of bone related diseases. Methods: From 2017 to 2019 and 2023, a total of 1 414 adolescents aged 12-18 years from Yinchuan were selected using a method combining convenient sampling with stratified cluster random sampling. The data of basic information, body mass index, BMC, serum osteocalcin (OC), type I collagen cross linked C-terminal peptide (CTX) and calcium (Ca), METS-IR among adolescents were obtained by questionnaire survey, physical measurement and laboratory examination,and METS-IR was divided into four groups Q1-Q 4 according to P 25 , P 50 and P 75 . Logistic regression models combined with restricted cubic splines were employed to analyze the relationship between METS-IR and low BMC as well as low bone metabolic markers. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate METS-IR effectiveness in diagnosing low BMC. Results: The levels of BMC, OC, CTX, Ca and METS-IR in the surveyed adolescents were (2.66±0.52)kg, (20.49±13.77) ng/mL , (2 460.89±1 818.96)pg/mL, (2.47±0.67)mmol/L, 30.63±7.58. After adjusting for gender, age and physical activity level, METS-IR in Q 4 group had a reduced risk of low BMC and low CTX [ OR (95% CI )=0.03(0.01-0.07), 0.45(0.32-0.65)] and an elevated risk of low OC [ OR (95%CI )=1.85(1.28-2.67)], compared with the Q 1 group (all P <0.05). Gender stratified analyses revealed similar trends for both males and females (all P <0.05). Non linear dose response relationships were observed between METS-IR and low BMC ( P total trend <0.01, P non linearity =0.01), as well as low OC ( P total trend <0.01, P non linearity =0.01), while a linear relationship was detected with low CTX ( P total trend <0.01, P non linearity =0.72). ROC curves revealed that METS-IR had the best diagnostic performance for low BMC (AUC=0.85, 95% CI=0.82-0.88, P <0.01). Conclusions Higher METS-IR score is linked to reduced risk of low BMC and CTX but increase risk of low OC among adolescents. These findings suggest METS-IR is a reliable indicator for assessing BMC and early predicting bone health risk among adolescents.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of recipients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who underwent second lung transplantation and summarize the diagnostic and therapeutic experience. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 14 patients who underwent first and second lung transplants for ILD at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024. The preoperative conditions, intraoperative events, postoperative treatments and prognoses of the first and second lung transplantation were compared, and the postoperative survival of ILD patients after the second lung transplantation was analyzed. Results Among the 14 recipients of the second lung transplant, 13 underwent the procedure due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction, and 1 due to airway complications. The median interval time from the first to the second lung transplant was 32 (2, 80) months. Before the second transplantation, 2 recipients required endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, and 2 required endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The surgical time for the second lung transplantation was longer than that for the first, with increased intraoperative red blood cell and plasma transfusion volumes, the proportion of ECMO support during the second lung transplantation was higher than that during the first (all P<0.05). However, the cold ischemia time for one-sided lung transplant completion in the first lung transplant was similar to that in the second lung transplantation (P>0.05). The median follow-up time after the second lung transplantation was 32 (1, 63) months. The 1-month, 6-month and 1-year survival rates after the second lung transplantation were 79%, 57% and 50%, respectively, with causes of death being infection, multiple organ failure and gastrointestinal bleeding. Conclusions For ILD patients undergoing second lung transplantation after the first lung transplantation, the second lung transplantation is more challenging, with longer surgical time and higher intraoperative blood loss. It requires higher surgical skills and perioperative management. Non-emergency second transplantation may still achieve good results.
