BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Unhealthy diets are associated with chronic stress. An allostatic load (AL) is a comprehensive physiological index that measures the chronic stress response of the body. As a healthy dietary pattern, the role of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) in the development of an AL during pregnancy remains unclear. This study examined the relationship between the DASH dietary pattern and AL during pregnancy. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This study was a prospective study. From January 2024 to November 2024, 134 pregnant women in the second trimester (23–27 weeks) and third trimester (32–36 weeks) of pregnancy who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the obstetrics clinic of a tertiary general hospital in Anhui Province were selected for a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory examination. The DASH dietary pattern was assessed using the DASH scoring tool, and the total AL score was calculated using nine biomarkers that represent the cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune systems. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the DASH score and AL. RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-four pregnant women were included in this study. At the second and third trimesters, 41.8% and 37% of pregnant women, respectively, were in the high AL group. The binary logistic regression results showed that the DASH score was negatively correlated with the AL in the unadjusted model (odds ratio [OR], 0.878; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.807–0.957; P = 0.003) and adjusted model (OR, 0.878; 95% CI, 0.792–0.973; P = 0.013) in the second trimester, the DASH score was negatively correlated with the AL in the unadjusted model (OR, 0.832; 95% CI, 0.758–0.913; P < 0.001) and adjusted model (OR, 0.806; 95% CI, 0.716–0.908; P < 0.001) in the third trimester. CONCLUSION The DASH score was negatively correlated with the AL in pregnant women.A low DASH score may increase the risk of a high AL, which may have adverse effects on physical and mental health.

Medical artificial intelligence （AI） is a new type of application formed by the combination of machine learning， computer vision， natural language processing， and other technologies with clinical medical treatment. With the continuous iteration and development of relevant technologies， medical AI has shown great potential in improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment， and service quality， but it also increases the possibility of triggering ethical issues. Ethical issues resulting from the clinical application of medical AI were analyzed， including the lack of algorithmic interpretability and transparency of medical AI， leading to information asymmetry and cognitive discrepancies； the concerning status of security and privacy protection of medical data； and the complex and unclear division of responsibilities due to the collaborative participation of multiple subjects in the clinical application of medical AI， resulting in increased difficulty in the identification of medical accidents and clarification of responsibilities. The paper proposed the principles of not harming patients’ interests， physician’s subjectivity， fairness and inclusiveness， and rapid response. It also explored the strategies and implementation paths for responding to the ethical issues of medical AI from multiple perspectives， including standardizing the environment and processes， clarifying responsibility attribution， continuously assessing the impact of data protection， guaranteeing data security， ensuring model transparency and interpretability， carrying out multi-subject collaboration， as well as the principles of being driven by ethical values and adhering to the “human health-centeredness.” It aimed to provide guidance for the healthy development of medical AI， ensuring technological progress while effectively managing and mitigating accompanying ethical risks， thereby promoting the benign development of medical AI technology and better serving the healthcare industry and patients.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between social jetlag and psychological behavior in upper primary school students,so as to provide reference for sleep health promotion in primary school students. Methods: From April to June 2024, a survey was conducted among 4 341 fourth and fifth grade students from 9 public primary schools in a district in Beijing. Sleep patterns were assessed using a self designed questionnaire, while psychological behavior was evaluated using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)(parent version). A generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was used to examine the association between different levels of social jetlag and psychological behavior problem scores in primary school students. Results: The proportions of students with social jetlag of <1.0, 1.0-<2.0, and ≥2.0 h were 57.6%, 30.6%, and 11.8%, respectively. The GEE model analysis found that after adjusting for covariates, compared with primary school students with social jetlag of <1.0 h, those with 1.0 -<2.0 and ≥2.0 h had higher scores for internalizing behavior problems [ β (95% CI ) =0.23(0.05-0.41)，0.28(0.02-0.54), P < 0.01]. Primary school students with ≥2.0 h of social jetlag had higher scores for externalizing behavior problems [ β (95% CI )=0.42 (0.13-0.71)， P <0.01]. Among boys and primary school students with an average nighttime sleep duration of ≥9 h, comparied with social jetlag of <1.0 h,those with sucial jetlag 1.0-<2.0 h had higher scores on internalizing and externalizing behavior problems[ β (95% CI )=0.32(0.07-0.56),0.51 (0.11-0.90), 0.26 (0.06-0.46)，0.58 (0.25-0.91), P <0.05]. Conclusions Greater social jetlag may be a risk factor for internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in upper primary school students. Reducing social jetlag may help decrease the occurrence of psychological behavior problems in primary school students.

Mitochondrial autophagy is a unique mechanism that selectively clears dysfunctional or excess mitochondria,closely related to Alzheimer's disease(AD),which is characterized by aggregated neurotoxic proteins and dysfunctional mitochondria.Numerous recent studies have confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine can have significant therapeutic effects against AD,and its advantages including multi-target,multi-pathway,and multi-action mechanisms have become an important component of AD research.Chinese medicine formulas and monomeric active ingredients,such as Jiannaoyizhi Fang,Danggui Shaoyao Tang,alkaloids,and flavonoids,can regulate mitochondrial autophagy-related signaling pathways and targets,inhibit neuronal mitochondrial autophagy defects,and play a neuroprotective role.This review elaborates on the basic process of mitochondrial autophagy and its related signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of AD,and considers the latest research progress on the use of traditional Chinese medicine to improve AD by regulating mitochondrial autophagy,to provide ideas and references for future basic research and clinical treatment.

Purpose To explore the diagnostic value of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography(2D-STE)in differentiating left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)caused by Fabry disease from other etiologies.Materials and Methods A total of 23 patients clinically confirmed Fabry disease with LVH(Fabry disease group)in Peking University First Hospital from August 2014 to February 2023,retrospectively.23 patients with hypertensive LVH(hypertensive LVH group)and 23 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)(HCM group)were also included.Conventional echocardiographic parameters and 2D-STE-derived left atrial strain and left ventricular longitudinal strain were analyzed and compared among the three groups.LASSO regression was used to select variables and construct a diagnostic model to differentiate hypertensive LVH,HCM and Fabry disease group.Results The Fabry disease group showed significantly reduced left ventricular global longitudinal strain and segmental left ventricular longitudinal strain in the basal anterior wall,basal anterolateral wall and mid inferior wall compared to the hypertensive LVH group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in left atrial strain,left ventricular global longitudinal strain and segmental left ventricular longitudinal strain between the Fabry disease and HCM groups(P>0.05).Compared to the conventional echocardiography-based model,the combined model did not significantly improve diagnostic accuracy for differentiating the three etiologies(Z=-1.314--0.594,all P>0.05).Conclusion Compared to patients with hypertensive LVH,HCM and Fabry disease group exhibit varying degrees of decrease in global and segmental longitudinal strain of the left atrium and left ventricle.Additional measurements of left ventricular longitudinal strain and left atrial strain do not provide significant incremental diagnostic value over conventional echocardiography in distinguishing among Fabry disease,hypertensive LVH and HCM.

[Objective]To summarize Associate Professor ZHOU Xiukou's clinical experience in treating perianal abscess in infants and young children with traditional Chinese medicine sitz bath.[Methods]Through outpatient follow-up study,collecting,organizing and analyzing relevant medical cases,and consulting related literature,this paper expounds professor ZHOU's clinical experience in treating perianal abscess in infants and young children from the aspects of pathogenesis understanding,characteristics of onset,therapeutic principles and methods,clinical medication,significance of compatibility,sitz bath methods and daily care.A verified case was attached for validation.[Results]Professor ZHOU believes that the core pathogenesis of perianal abscess in infants and young children is due to the inherent toxicity of the fetus,the deficiency of the spleen,and the downward flow of dampness and heat.The disease is often superficial,more common in males,and often accompanied by a history of diarrhea.He puts forward the treatment method of"elimination is precious",advocates the basic treatment principles of clearing away heat and detoxifying.Medications with functions of promoting blood circulation,dispelling wind,eliminating abscesses,and clearing heat and detoxifying are used to reduce the abscess toxins,allowing mild cases to dissipate without leaving any trace.He emphasizes the method of sitz bath and daily nursing with advantages of treating both superficial and root causes,simple and inexpensive drugs,and direct access to the lesion.In the case,the mother of the child had an unclean diet,coupled with the weakness of the spleen and stomach of the child,the internal accumulation of fetal toxin,and the syndrome was a clowhward flow of clampness and heat syndrome.The self-made prescription was added and subtracted,and the daily nursing was paid attention to.The surface and the root were treated at the same time,and the curative effect was definite.[Conclusion]Associate Professor ZHOU Xiukou has rich experience in the treatment of perianal abscess in infants and young children.Based on the basic treatment principles of clearing heat and detoxifying,resolving masses and eliminating carbuncles,the method of traditional Chinese medicine sitz bath effect is remarkable and has positive reference significance.

Objective:To investigate the preventive effect of a subanesthetic dose of esketamine on emergence agitation (EA) in pediatric patients undergoing fracture fixation surgery under general anesthesia.Methods:This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Eighty-two pediatric patients, aged 3-6 yr, with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective closed reduction and internal fixation of humeral fractures at the People′s Hospital of Fuyang City from March 2023 to August 2024, were divided into 2 groups ( n=41 each) using simple random sampling: esketamine group (group E) and control group (group C). Group E received an intravenous injection of esketamine at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg before anesthesia induction, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C. The induction and maintenance of general anesthesia were the same in both groups. The drug was discontinued after operation and the children were transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit. The primary outcome was the occurrence of EA assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale. Secondary outcome measures included the acceptance of the facemask during anesthesia induction, the rate of propofol use during the emergence period, the Children′s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale scores at awakening and at 2 and 6 h postoperatively, the requirement for rescue analgesia in the emergence period, and the occurrence of adverse reactions. Results:Compared with group C, the incidence of EA [38% (15/39) vs. 15% (6/40)] was significantly decreased, the usage rate of propofol during the emergence period was decreased, the degree of acceptance of the facemask during anesthesia induction was increased, and Children′s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale scores at all time points and the rate of rescue analgesia in the emergence period were decreased in group E ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Administering a subanesthetic dose of esketamine before anesthesia induction can reduce the risk of EA in pediatric patients undergoing fracture fixation surgery under general anesthesia and raise the the quality of recovery with a high safety.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of intranasal nebulized remimazolam versus esketamine for preoperative sedation in pediatric patients.Methods:In this randomized double-blind controlled trial, 90 pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgery with general anesthesia at Fuyang People′s Hospital between October 2024 and January 2025, were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) using a simple randomization: remimazolam group (group R), esketamine group (group S) and normal saline group (group C). Group R received intranasal nebulization of remimazolam 1.5 mg/kg, group S received intranasal nebulization of esketamine 1 mg/kg, and group C received intranasal nebulization of normal saline 0.05 ml/kg. Primary outcome: The preoperative anxiety was assessed using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale before intranasal drug administration (baseline), at 10 and 20 min after administration, and before anesthesia induction. Secondary outcomes included sedation level (Ramsay Sedation Scale score), satisfaction with intranasal administration acceptance, parental separation anxiety and mask acceptance, development of emergence agitation, emergence time, time of recovery from anesthesia, and nausea and vomiting and increased secretions. Results:Compared to group C, the incidence of anxiety was significantly decreased at 10 and 20 min after intranasal nebulization and before anesthesia induction, the level of sedation was deepened (to light sedation), and the satisfaction with intranasal administration acceptance was decreased in group R ( P<0.017), the incidence of anxiety was significantly decreased before anesthesia induction, the level of sedation was deepened (to deep sedation), and the satisfaction with intranasal administration acceptance was increased in group S ( P<0.017), and the satisfaction with parental separation anxiety and mask acceptance and anesthesiologists′ satisfaction were significantly increased in R and S groups( P<0.017). Compared to group R, the incidence of anxiety was significantly increased at 10 min after intranasal nebulization (7 cases [23%] versus 20 cases [67%]), the level of sedation was lighter at 10 min after intranasal nebulization, the level of sedation was deeper, and the satisfaction with intranasal administration acceptance was increased in group S ( P<0.017). Compared to groups C and R, the emergence time and time of recovery from anesthesia were significantly prolonged in group S ( P<0.017). There was no significant difference in the incidence of emergence agitation, nausea and vomiting and increased secretions or in parental satisfaction among three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both intranasal nebulized remimazolam and esketamine can produce good preoperative sedation in pediatric patients. Compared to esketamine, remimazolam provides a more appropriate level of sedation with a faster onset and does not prolong the recovery from anesthesia, making it more suitable for preoperative sedation in minor procedures.
