Objective: To characterize longitudinal trajectories of testicular development in boys and breast development in girls, so as to provide reference data for understanding patterns of pubertal sexual maturation. Methods: Based on the Shanghai Pudong New Area Cohort Study on Growth, Development and Health in Children and Adolescents, a baseline survey was conducted in 2020 using a mult stage cluster random sampling method. A total of 2 184 children who completed all follow ups during the primary school period from 13 elementary schools in Pudong New Area,Shanghai,with annual follow ups during 2021-2025. Testicular volume and Tanner stage of breast development were assessed by professional physicians using standardized visual inspection and palpation. The age distribution of testicular volume and breast development was fitted by using cumulative link mixed models and Turnbull s nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method. Results: Median ages for testicular volumes of 2, 3, 4 and 5 mL in boys were 7.07, 9.24, 10.29, and 11.57 years old, respectively. Median ages for Tanner breast stages Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in girls were 8.55 , 10.17, 11.18, and 13.78 years old, respectively. Based on overweight and obesity, stratified analysis showed that earlier pubertal onset among overweight/obesity children, and the key milestones for pubertal initiation were testicular volume reaching 4 mL in boys and breast Tanner II in girls for 10.29, 10.83; 8.18, 9.00 years. Conclusion Overweight and obesity are associated with earlier pubertal initiation,but there are certain gender and developmental stage specific patterns.

Patients with periodontal disease often require combined periodontal-orthodontic interventions to restore periodontal health, function, and aesthetics, ensuring both patient satisfaction and long-term stability. Managing these patients involving orthodontic tooth movement can be particularly challenging due to compromised periodontal soft and hard tissues, especially in severe cases. Therefore, close collaboration between orthodontists and periodontists for comprehensive diagnosis and sequential treatment, along with diligent patient compliance throughout the entire process, is crucial for achieving favorable treatment outcomes. Moreover, long-term orthodontic retention and periodontal follow-up are essential to sustain treatment success. This expert consensus, informed by the latest clinical research and practical experience, addresses clinical considerations for orthodontic treatment of periodontal patients, delineating indications, objectives, procedures, and principles with the aim of providing clear and practical guidance for clinical practitioners.

Objective: To understand 24 h physical activity levels of children aged 8-9 years in Pudong New Area and to explore its association with metabolic syndrome, so as to provide scientific basis for children s participation in physical activities and reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to select 13 schools in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. A total of 2 013 primary school students aged 8-9 years old were included as the research subjects. During September 2021 to December 2022, Actigraph GT3X accelerometer, height measuring gauge, electronic sphygmomanometer and waist circumference tape was used to measure physical activity, height, blood pressure and waist circumference, respectively. A total of 5 mL of venous blood was collected from students, and the levels of triglycerides (TG), highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were detected, and online questionnaires were conducted. The ttest and oneway ANOVA were employed to compare the differences in 24 h physical activity levels among children with different characteristics. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the 24 h physical activity levels and metabolic syndrome as well as its components. Results: Among primary school students, the average daily time of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was (34.25±13.49)min, the attainment rate was 1.59%. The average daily sleep (SLP) time was (538.27±28.53) min, attainment rate was 1.89%. The detection rates of metabolic syndrome, abdominal obesity (AO), elevated blood pressure (BP), elevated TG, low HDL-C, and elevated FPG were 2.48%, 34.53%, 10.38%, 10.73%, 1.24% and 0.70%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, for every 10minute increase in sedentary behavior (SB) time, the risks of AO, elevated BP, and elevated TG increased by 2% ( OR=1.02, 95%CI =1.01-1.04), 5% ( OR=1.05, 95%CI =1.01-1.08), and 6% ( OR= 1.06, 95%CI =1.02-1.11), respectively ( P <0.05). For every 10minute increase in MVPA time, the risk of metabolic syndrome decreased by 27% ( OR=0.73, 95%CI=0.57-0.93, P <0.05). For every 10 minute increase in SLP time, the risks of AO, elevated BP, and metabolic syndrome decreased by 16% ( OR=0.84, 95%CI =0.80-0.88), 9% ( OR=0.91, 95%CI =0.82- 0.99 ), and 15% ( OR=0.85, 95%CI =0.77-0.94), respectively （P <0.05). Conclusions The time of MVPA and SLP are seriously insufficient among children aged 8-9 years in Pudong New Area. There is an association between physical activity levels and metabolic syndrome as well as its components. Increasing the time of MVPA and SLP is of great significance for maintaining a relatively low risk of metabolic syndrome in children.

Objective:To investigate the effect of nursing measures based on the Rockall scoring system combined with the SBAR communication model in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 140 patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2022 to January 2024. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 70 cases in each. The control group received nursing measures based on the Rockall scoring system, while the observation group received nursing measures based on the Rockall scoring system combined with the SBAR communication model. Treatment compliance, bleeding status, length of hospital stay, psychological state, and self-management behavior scores were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the treatment compliance of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05) . The bleeding cessation time and hospital stay time were shorter in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05) . Eight weeks after intervention, the scores of Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . Six months after intervention, the scores of all dimensions and the total score of self-management behaviors in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nursing interventions based on the Rockall scoring system combined with the SBAR communication model can improve treatment compliance, reduce negative emotions, and enhance self-management ability in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objective:To analyze the application of mobile application-based decision support tools in patient treatment decision-making both domestically and internationally, and to provide references and insights for future research in this area.Methods:A search was conducted in databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science for relevant studies on the application of mobile application-based decision support tools in patient treatment decision-making, with the search period extending from database inception to April 1, 2024. The scope review methodology by Arksey and O'Malley was used to guide the literature summary and analysis.Results:A total of 9 studies were included in the review. The main presentation forms of mobile application-based decision support tools in patient treatment decision-making were text, charts, and videos. The main contents included assessing patients' decision-making needs, providing informational support, and summarizing the decision-making process. The evaluation criteria focused on 2 areas: decision quality (preparedness for decision-making, self-efficacy, decision conflict, regret, actual participation, satisfaction, knowledge of the disease, and treatment choices) and psychological state.Conclusions:It is recommended that future researchers fully consider patients' treatment decision-making needs and preferences, provide a more diverse range of information presentation methods, and strengthen the comprehensiveness and scientific basis of the content. These improvements aim to enhance decision quality and, through multi-center, large-sample, high-quality studies, further explore the effectiveness of these tools in clinical applications, thereby providing more evidence for their widespread adoption.
