Objective: To understand the allocation and use of safety seats for preschool children and explore its related factors, so as to provide a scientific reference for promoting the usage of safety seats. Methods: A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 143 parents of preschool children aged 3 to 6 from six kindergartens in Shunyi District, Beijing from January 3 to 10, 2022. An online questionnaire survey was conducted to collect and evaluate the equipment and use of child safety seats in different characteristics of preschool children, as well as their scores of health beliefs. Multiple factor Logistic regression analysis was used to investigated the related factors of safety seat configuration and use. Results: The equipping rate and usage rate of safety seats for preschool children were 66.56% and 58.45%, respectively. The proportion of equipped and used safety seats for preschool children in core families (69.52%, 62.23%) were higher than that in large families (64.35%, 55.62%), only child families ( 72.39 %, 64.87%) were higher than non only child families (61.49%, 52.86%), and urban families (71.63%, 63.04%) were higher than rural families (52.31%, 45.51%) ( χ 2=9.23, 13.86; 41.72, 46.44; 101.96 ,76.97,all P <0.05) . As the educational level of parents ( χ 2 trend =154.23,98.76) and annual income of the family ( χ 2 trend =155.78,127.69) rised, the reporting rates of the equipped and used child safety seats in the family also increased(all P <0.05 ). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of different dimensions of health beliefs for the provision ( t =-20.22-18.16) and use ( t =24.32-24.17) of safety seats for preschool children(all P <0.05). After adjusting for child sex, child age, family annual income, parental education level, family type, whether the child was an only child, and place of residence，multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preschool children with higher perceived susceptibility score( OR =1.11, 1.08), higher self efficacy score( OR =1.23, 1.33), and higher suggestive factors score( OR =1.08, 1.12) were more likely to have and use safety seats in their families, while preschool children with higher perceived impairments score( OR =0.82, 0.80) were less likely to have and use safety seats in their families (all P <0.05). Conclusions The installation rate of child safety seats needs to be improved, and there is also a certain gap in their use after installation. Parents of preschool children should improve susceptibility and self efficacy to safety seat equipment and use, and perceptual barriers should be reduced.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of HIV-related health service uptake among cross-border couples (Chinese husbands and Myanmar wives) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (hereinafter referred to as Dehong Prefecture), and to provide evidence for optimizing HIV prevention and control strategies in border areas. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 2022 to September 2023 among 14 662 cross-border couples (Chinese husbands and Myanmar wives) in Dehong Prefecture. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, HIV/AIDS knowledge awareness, and utilization of HIV-related health services within the past year were collected. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with HIV testing uptake among husbands and wives. ResultsA total of 29 324 individuals (14 662 couples) were included. The overall awareness rate of HIV/AIDS was 82.09%, with the rate among husbands significantly higher than that among wives (85.17% vs. 79.01%, P<0.001). Overall, 94.98% of participants had received at least one HIV-related health service, and the HIV testing rate in the past year was 65.52%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with participants married for 0‒3 years, those married for 4‒10 years and ≥11 years were more likely to have received HIV testing. The corresponding ORs were 1.344 (95%CI: 1.187‒1.521) and 1.381 (95%CI: 1.211‒1.574) among husbands, and 1.308 (95%CI: 1.155‒1.481) and 1.344 (95%CI: 1.178‒1.533) among wives, respectively. Compared with those holding a marriage certificate, those possessing a border marriage registration certificate were positively associated with HIV testing uptake, with ORs of 1.710 (95%CI: 1.575‒1.857) among husbands and 1.700 (95%CI: 1.565‒1.847) among wives. Compared with illiterate participants, those with primary school education showed lower testing rates, with ORs of 0.738 (95%CI: 0.650‒0.837) among husbands and 0.827 (95%CI: 0.766‒0.891) among wives. Additionally, a history of sexually transmitted diseases (OR=3.656, 95%CI: 1.243‒15.589) and participation in the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (OR=1.51, 95%CI: 1.179‒1.935) were independently associated with higher testing rates among husbands. ConclusionThe overall utilization of HIV-related health services among cross-border couples in Dehong Prefecture is satisfactory, but significant gender disparities exist, with foreign wives showing lower rates of knowledge awareness and lower proportions obtaining such knowledge through certain channels compared with their Chinese husbands. Couples with shorter marriage duration, those with primary school education, and those not included in the border marriage registration system are vulnerable groups with lower HIV testing uptake. Future interventions should prioritize cross-border marriage families at the early stage of entry and in the newly married period. Based on the border marriage registration management system and primary healthcare networks, health education and HIV testing services targeting foreign spouses should be strengthened to improve service accessibility and equity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effects of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) combined regimens for hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province from 2022 to 2024, to analyze the characteristics of treatment failure patients, so as to provide a basis for discovering more effective treatment regimens in the future. MethodsData on HCV prevention and treatment in Dehong Prefecture was extracted from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System. A total of 617 patients with HCV antiviral therapy were included, and the differences in variable characteristics among patients with different genotypes were analyzed using comparative statistical tests, including basic socio-demographic characteristics, biochemical testing indicators, and information on previous treatment and current treatment. In addition, the cure rate of HCV patients with diverse characteristics was compared, and the potential causes of treatment failure were explored simultaneously. ResultsThe cure rate of HCV was 96.8%, and statistically significant differences were observed in aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, previous antiviral therapy history and initial treatment regimens among patients with different HCV genotypes (all P<0.05). Among the multi-type combination regimens, the cure rate of sofosbuvir (SOF)-containing regimens was 97.00%, that of velpatasvir (VEL)-containing regimens was 95.45%, and the cure rate of other treatment regimens, including the regimens with ribavirin (RIB) intervention, was 93.10%. Among the patients with treatment failure, 45.00% had genotype 3, 40.00% had abnormal abdominal ultrasound results, and all presented with elevated baseline AST test levels. ConclusionThe clinical treatment of HCV patients should consider the differences in genotype and biochemical test results. DAAs combined regimens for HCV have achieved a high cure rate in Dehong Prefecture and are applicable to HCV patients with diverse clinical characteristics, providing research evidence for wider application.

To explore the application effectiveness of generative artificial intelligence(GAI) in the standardized training assessment of critical care medicine residents.

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) represents a prominent research focus in medicine, with medical education being a key application area. GAI demonstrates potential to enhance residency training efficacy through personalized instruction, automated assessment item generation, question bank updating, and intelligent scoring systems. However, current limitations exist regarding output accuracy and content consistency. To address these constraints, strategic measures are required: continuous GAI model refinement, development of standardized usage guidelines, enhanced data quality control, and implementation of human verification protocols for generated content. Concurrently, residents should proactively acquire GAI utilization skills to strengthen the practical application of theoretical knowledge. With these advancements, GAI is anticipated to evolve into a valuable asset for improving the efficiency and quality of residency training programs.

Programmed cell death (PCD) is characterized as a cell death pathway governed by specific gene-encoding requirements, plays crucial roles in the homeostasis and innate immunity of organisms, and serves as both a pathogenic mechanism and a therapeutic target for a variety of human diseases. Z-DNA-binding protein 1 (ZBP1) functions as a cytosolic nucleic acid sensor, utilizing its unique Zα domains to detect endogenous or exogenous nucleic acids and its receptor-interacting protein homotypic interaction motif (RHIM) domains to sense or bind specific signaling molecules, thereby exerting regulatory effects on various forms of PCD. ZBP1 is involved in apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and PANoptosis and interacts with molecules, such as receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), to influence cell fate under various pathological conditions. It plays a crucial role in regulating PCD during infections, inflammatory and neurological diseases, cancers, and other conditions, affecting disease onset and progression. Targeting ZBP1-associated PCD may represent a viable therapeutic strategy for related pathological conditions. This review comprehensively summarizes the regulatory functions of ZBP1 in PCD and its interactions with several closely associated signaling molecules and delineates the diseases linked to ZBP1-mediated PCD, along with the potential therapeutic implications of ZBP1 in these contexts. Ongoing research on ZBP1 is being refined across various disease models, and these advancements may provide novel insights for studies focusing on PCD, potentially leading to new therapeutic options for related diseases.
