Objective: To understand the hydration status and related factors of rural boarding primary school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for drinking water health intervention for primary school students. Methods: In November 2023, a convenience sampling approach was employed to conduct a hydration status survey among 144 boarding students in grades 5 and 6 of a rural primary school in Guangxi. The Duplicate meal method and weighing method were utilized to measure the food derived water intake over three consecutive days. Urine osmolarity of students was measured on site for three days, and a simple physical examination was also carried out. A self administered questionnaire was used to investigate students drinking water literacy, daily water intake, and physical activity levels. Meanwhile, a drinking water literacy survey was conducted among 21 substitute teachers and 144 parents of the boarding students in grades 5 and 6. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with students hydration status. Results: The median daily total water intake of students was 2 043.55 mL, and 54.86% of the students did not reach the recommended Adequate Intake (AI). The median food derived water intake was 1 149.24 mL, accounting for 53.94% of the total water intake. Univariate analysis revealed that the daily drinking frequency, daily water intake, and food derived water intake of students were related factors of hydration status ( β =-1.60, -1.01, -0.00, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that primary school students with a daily drinking frequency of ≥7 times were more likely to maintain an adequate hydration status ( OR =0.28, 95% CI =0.09-0.93, P ＜0.05). Conclusions The water intake from food is the main source of water in the body for boarding primary school students in a certain rural school in Guangxi. Primary school students should increase their water intake frequency appropriately to maintain an adequate hydration status.

It is proposed that yangming （阳明） turbid heat and dysfunction of the chong and ren （冲任） vessels are the key pathogenesis underlying abnormal uterine bleeding caused by polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS）. The general principle of treatment is to clear and drain the yangming channel and resolve turbid heat. During the acute bleeding phase， the approach is to clear heat， cool the blood， consolidate the chong vessel， and stop bleeding. During the chronic phase， the focus shifts to resolving phlegm and removing stasis， unblocking and purging qi movement. And during the late stage， the method of boosting qi and nourishing yin， consolidating the root and regulating menstruation is suggested. In clinical practice， the self-formulated Yishen Quzhuo Formula （益肾祛浊方） serves as the foundation， with flexible modifications and adjustments made according to disease stage and individual clinical presentation.

ObjectiveTo perform metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） screening among individuals attending community health institutions， to identify the patients at a low， moderate or high risk of advanced liver fibrosis based on fibrosis-4 index （FIB-4） and liver stiffness measurement （LSM） measured by liver transient elastography， and to implement stratified management. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 630 individuals attending Beijing Baizhifang Community Health Service Center from January to July 2024， and they were divided into MAFLD group and non-MAFLD group. According to body mass index （BMI）， the MAFLD group was further divided into lean MAFLD group （BMI<23 kg/m²） and non-lean MAFLD group （BMI≥23 kg/m²）. The above groups were compared in terms of demographic features， laboratory markers， hepatic steatosis， and LSM. Fibrosis risk stratification was performed for MAFLD patients based on FIB-4 and LSM， and a closed-loop management system involving referral to tertiary hospitals and follow-up at community health institutions was implemented. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsThere were 445 individuals （70.6%） in the MAFLD group and 185 individuals （29.4%） in the non-MAFLD group. Compared with the non-MAFLD group， the MAFLD group had a significantly lower proportion of male individuals （χ²=4.299， P<0.05）， a significant reduction in the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （Z=3.484， P<0.05）， and significant increases in body weight （Z=-7.366， P<0.05）， BMI （Z=-9.740， P<0.05）， waist circumference （Z=-6.397， P<0.05）， hip circumference （Z=-6.935， P<0.05）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT） （Z=-2.765， P<0.05）， fasting blood glucose （Z=-3.646， P<0.05）， triglyceride （TG） （Z=-6.569， P<0.05）， total cholesterol （Z=-2.033， P<0.05）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （Z=-2.935， P<0.05）， controlled attenuation parameter （CAP） （Z=-19.784， P<0.05）， and LSM （Z=-5.703， P<0.05）. Within the MAFLD group， there were 124 individuals （27.9%） in the lean MAFLD group and 321 individuals （72.1%） in the non-lean MAFLD group. Compared with the non-lean MAFLD group， the lean MAFLD group had significantly lower body weight （Z=-12.414， P<0.05）， BMI （Z=-16.363， P<0.05）， waist circumference （Z=-7.733， P<0.05）， hip circumference （Z=-8.595， P<0.05）， ALT （Z=-2.835， P<0.05）， aspartate aminotransferase （Z=-1.972， P<0.05）， TG （Z=-2.407， P<0.05）， CAP （Z=-4.429， P<0.05）， degree of steatosis （χ²=16.588， P<0.05）， and LSM （Z=-3.908， P<0.05）. Based on the results of FIB-4 and LSM， 76 patients at a moderate or high risk of liver fibrosis should be referred to a higher-level hospital for further management. ConclusionThe detection rate of MAFLD reaches 70.6% among the individuals attending community health institutions， among whom 76 （17.1%） should be referred to a higher-level hospital. Establishing a liver fibrosis risk stratification and management system based on FIB-4 and LSM among MAFLD individuals in communities provides a practical pathway for chronic disease management and referral system construction in community health institutions.

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.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of blood flow restriction training (BFRT) under different intensities combined with low-intensity resistance training (LIRT) on motor function in stroke patients with frailty. MethodsFrom August, 2024 to August, 2025, 200 elderly ischemic stroke patients with frailty from Affiliated Hospital, North China University of Science and Technology were randomized into control group and observation groups 1, 2 and 3, with 50 cases in each group. All the groups received 30% 1RM resistance training. In addition, the observation groups received BFRT of 40%, 50% and 60% arterial occlusion pressure (AOP), respectively. Before training, and four and eight weeks after training, their motor function was evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), grip strength, 10-Metre Walk Test (10MWT) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS); Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP) was used to assess frailty status; and the score of modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), blood pressure and resting heart rate were recorded. ResultsOne case dropped out in each group. For the scores of FMA-UE and FMA-LE, the grip strength of both hands, the time of 10MWT and the score of BBS, the main effects of group and time, and interaction effect were all significant (F > 2.745, P < 0.05); four weeks after training, the above indexes were better in the observation groups than in the control group (P < 0.05); eight weeks after training, the scores of FMA-UE and FMA-LE, the grip strength of both hand and the score of BBS were better in the observation group 3 than in the observation groups 1 and 2 (P < 0.05), and the time of 10MWT was better in the observation group 3 than in the observation group 1 (P < 0.05). For the score of FFP, the main effect of group was significant (F = 688.360, P < 0.001), however, the effects of time and interaction were not significant (P > 0.05). For the score of MAS, the main effect of group was significant (F = 7.171, P = 0.008), however, the effects of time and interaction were not significant (P > 0.05). For the blood pressure and resting heart rate, the main effects of group and time, and interaction effect were not significant (P > 0.05). ConclusionBFRT under different intensities combined with LIRT can safely improve the motor function, grip strength, walking ability in elderly stroke patients, and 60% AOP may be more effective.

Objective:This study aimed to construct a prediction model for diagnosis of proliferative lupus nephritis based on a machine learning algorithm. Additionally, a user-friendly platform was developed to propose a non-invasive method to assist the pathologic classification of lupus nephritis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical and pathological data of lupus nephritis patients confirmed by renal biopsy at Zhengzhou University People′s Hospital from January 2017 to August 2023. The study population was randomly divided into training and testing sets in a 7∶3 ratio. Utilizing six machine learning algorithms, classification models were developed. The predictive performance of each model was assessed using metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The optimal model, once identified, was deployed as a web-based calculator for convenient model application. SPSS 25.0 and R 4.2.2 were used to analyze the data.Results:The study included a total of 212 patients, with 138 cases with proliferative lupus nephritis and 74 cases with non-proliferative lupus nephritis. The AUC values for the six models, namely logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, extreme gradient boosting, and light gradient boosting machine, were 0.79, 0.62, 0.79, 0.88, 0.81, and 0.77, respectively; the accuracy rates were 82.54%, 65.08%, 74.60%, 85.71%, 69.84%, 71.43%, respectively. Among them, the support vector machine model demonstrated the optimal performance. This model had deployed as a web-based calculator. Based on feature importance scores, the top 10 influencing factors were identified, including anti URNP antibody, immunoglobulin G, serum globulin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, anti Smith antibody, BMI index, anti dsDNA antibody, uric acid, anti-Rib.p antibody, and gender.Conclusion:A prediction model based on machine learning algorithms was successfully established, and a web calculator was developed to offer a simple and non-invasive method for diagnosing proliferative lupus nephritis. This can assist clinicians in evaluating the risk-benefit ratio of kidney biopsy in patients with lupus nephritis.

Objective:To discuss the infection status and clinical outcomes in the patients with bullous pemphigoid(BP),and to analyze the risk factors for infection in hospitalized BP patients,as well as to construct and evaluate the risk prediction model.Methods:A total of 126 patients first diagnosed with BP were selected.According to the occurrence of infection,the patients were divided into infection group(52 cases)and non-infection group(74 cases).The infection status and outcomes of the patients in two groups were recorded;statistical analysis was performed on the general data,laboratory examination results,FRAIL scale scores for frailty screening,NRS2002 scores,and skin lesion severity of the patients in two groups;multivariate Logistic regression model was used to identify the risk factors for infection in the patients;the goodness-of-fit test was used to evaluate the model;receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of the model for infection.Results:Among the 126 hospitalized BP patients,52 cases had infection,with an infection rate of 41.27％.The mortality rate of the patients in infection group was higher than that in non-infection group(P＜0.05),and the remission rate of the patients in non-infection group was higher than that in infection group(P＜0.05).The FRAIL scale score for frailty screening,NRS2002 score,serum albumin level,prealbumin level,number of hospitalization,skin lesion severity,and time of hospital stay of the patients in infection group were significantly higher than those in non-infection group(P＜0.05).The multivariate Logistic regression analysis results derived the regression equation:Logistic(P)=-7.63+0.922× skin lesion severity+2.565×FRAIL scale score for frailty screening+1.214×NRS2002 score.The area under the curve of the Logistic regression model was 0.916.Conclusion:The FRAIL scale score for frailty screening,NRS2002 score,and skin lesion severity are the risk factors for infection in the hospitalized BP patients.The constructed infection risk prediction model based on these factors has good predictive value and may provide new ideas for the prevention and control of infection in the hospitalized BP patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of applying the analog of miR-145(agomiR-145)to target a disintegrin and metallopro-tease 17(ADAM17)on the growth of triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)xenograft tumors in nude mice and the underlying mecha-nism.Methods:A subcutaneous xenograft tumor model was established in nude mice with MDA-MB-231 cells(n=30).The 30 nude mice were randomly divided into agomiR group,agomiR-NC group,and control group to receive intratumoral injection of 100 μL of agomiR-145(0.33 g/L),agomiR-NC(0.33 g/L),and normal saline,respectively.We examined tumor tissue morphology with HE stain-ing;measured the expression of miR-145,ADAM17,and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)in tumor tissues by real-time poly-merase chain reaction(RT-PCR);and determined the protein expression of ADAM17,EGFR,and p-EGFR in tumor tissues by immu-nohistochemistry and Western blot.Results:The tumor growth in the agomiR group was slow,with a significantly smaller tumor volume than those in the control group and the agomiR-NC group(P<0.05).The results of HE staining showed more severe necrosis and hem-orrhage within tumor tissues in the control group and the agomiR-NC group than in the agomiR group.RT-PCR results showed that the expression level of miR-145 in the agomiR group was significantly higher than those in the agomiR-NC and control groups(P<0.001);the agomiR group had a significantly lower mRNA expression level of ADAM17 than the other two groups(P<0.05);and there was no significant difference in EGFR mRNA expression between the three groups(P>0.05).Immunohistochemistry and Western blot detected significantly lower protein expression levels of ADAM17 and EGFR in the agomiR group than in the agomiR-NC group and the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:AgomiR-145 inhibits the growth of TNBC xenografts in nude mice by targeted suppression of ADAM17-EGFR activity.
