ObjectiveGastrodia elata has evolved ecological types with shortened rhizome internodes and diversified flower and fruit coloration in response to different altitudes. Studying the genetic mechanisms of different ecotype germplasm is significant for guiding variety breeding in different cultivation areas. MethodsThe bHLH gene family was identified based on the whole-genome datasets of G. elata f. elata and G. elata f. glauca. Subsequently， the gene family members were subject to analysis， including gene structure， chromosomal localization， cis-acting elements， gene synteny， and phylogeny. Combined with transcriptome data and quantitative Real-time PCR， the expression patterns of bHLH genes in the stems of the different G. elata ecotype germplasm were analyzed. Finally， correlation analysis was conducted between gene expression patterns and color to obtain the key bHLH genes regulating the color formation of stem. ResultsA total of 63 bHLH genes were identified in both G elata f. elata and G. elata f. glauca， unevenly distributed across 17 chromosomes and clustered into 16 subfamilies， with significant expansion in some family members. Obvious inversions of bHLH genes on the same chromosome and interchromosomal translocations were detected in the two ecotype germplasm. Among these genes， 12 bHLH genes （such as bHLH62-3 and bHLH74） were associated with the bright yellow color of G elata f. elata stem， while 9 bHLH genes （such as PIL13， UNE12， and bHLH130） were correlated with the red color of G. elata f. glauca stem. Compared to G. elata f. glauca， the bHLH48 expression level was significantly higher in flowers and scale leaves of G elata f. elata， and the bHLH62-3 expression level was significantly higher in all organs of G elata f. elata. ConclusionsFunctional pathway divergence of the bHLH family members has occurred across different chromosomes in G elata f. elata and G. elata f. glauca. Through synergism or antagonism with other genes， 21 bHLH genes participate in the coloration metabolic pathway regulation of stems， flowers， and fruits. Specifically， bHLH62-3 is involved in regulating stem color differentiation in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway of G. elata， thus relevant to the color formation of stem. Additionally， GebHLH48 positively regulates flowering-related pathways to promote the early-flowering phenotype of G. elata f. elata. These findings have laid the foundation for analyzing the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying the color formation of the G. elata stem.

Objective: To evaluate the intervention effect of school based salt reduction health education, so as to provide a scientific basis for constructing a more effective and sustainable salt reduction intervention model for children. Methods: According to a randomized controlled trial design, in June 2022, probability proportional to size sampling was used to select 501 second grade students (248 in the control group and 253 in the intervention group) from 10 primary schools in Zhenjiang (intervention group) and 10 primary schools in Yangzhou (control group), Jiangsu Province. An one year school based salt reduction health education intervention was implemented. This included 20 online and 8 offline health education sessions, monitoring of salt consumption in the canteen, and the establishment of a salt reduction environment on campus. The control group received no additional salt reduction interventions. A questionnaire survey and 24 hour urinary sodium test were conducted before and after the intervention. The difference in differences method was used to evaluate the intervention effect. Results: After the intervention, the intervention group showed significant net intervention effects in knowledge aspects, including knowing that primary school students consume less salt than adults ( OR=3.55,95%CI =1.69-7.47), daily salt intake of primary school students ( OR=6.64,95%CI =3.71-11.87), long term high salt intake leading to hypertension ( OR=6.83,95%CI =3.93-11.91), low salt intake not causing hair graying ( OR= 1.66 ,95%CI =1.00-2.75), salt content in food labels ( OR=4.56,95%CI =2.63-7.91), and common high salt foods ( OR=3.39,95%CI =1.87-6.14) (all P <0.05). In terms of attitude, the net intervention effect for having a positive attitude toward using less salt in home cooking was significantly increased ( OR=1.88,95%CI =1.13-3.12, P <0.05). There were no statistically significant net intervention effects for salt reduction related behaviors (all P >0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the changes of 24 hour urinary sodium between the intervention group and the control group before and after intervention ( P >0.05). Conclusions School based salt reduction health education effectively improves students salt reduction knowledge and attitudes but has a limited effect on behavior change. The home-school collaboration should be strengthened, and the dietary environment should be optimized simultaneously.

With the continuous development of China's aging society and the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles, the incidence of cardiovascular disease in China has been increasing in recent years. Among them, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia disease. In recent years, pulsed field ablation (PFA) has been continuously applied to AF treatment as a novel treatment. This paper first introduces the principle of PFA applied to AF treatment, and introduces the research progress of PFA in different directions, such as the comparison of different ablation methods, the study of physical parameters, the study of ablation area, the study of tissue specificity and clinical research. Then, the clinical prior research of PFA is discussed, including the use of simulation software to obtain the simulation effect of different parameters, the evaluation of ablation effect during animal research, and finally the current AF treatment. Various prior studies and clinical studies are summarized, and suggestions are made for the shortcomings found in the study of AF treatment and the future research direction is prospected.

The FCHO1 protein, encoded by the FCHO1 gene, is a pioneer protein that plays an important role in the initial stage of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. In recent years, it has been found that defects in the FCHO1 gene or abnormal expression levels of the FCHO1 protein are closely related to certain human diseases. This article will review the latest research results of FCHO1 in malignant tumors, immunodeficiency diseases, neurodegenerative diseases of the nervous system, and cardiovascular diseases, providing a theoretical basis for the development of new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of lacosamide combined with ketogenic diet in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy and its impacts on the levels of serum glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)and specific protein of the central nervous system(S-100β).Methods A total of 64 chil-dren with epilepsy from July 2022 to April 2024 were selected and randomly divided into conventional group(n=32)receiving oral lacosamide tablets and combined group(n=32)receiving ketogenic di-et therapy based on the conventional group.The efficacy,cognitive function,and intelligence of chil-dren in both groups after treatment,as well as the levels of serum GFAP and S-100β,the frequency of seizures,and electroencephalogram(EEG)findings before and after treatment were evaluated.Results After treatment,the number of alpha waves,the Full-scale Intelligence Quotient(FIQ)of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children,and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)scores increased in both groups,with a greater increase in the combined group compared to the conventional group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The levels of serum S-100β and GFAP,the frequency of seizures,and the number of cases with slow waves and epileptiform waves decreased after treatmen,and these indicators were lower in the combined group than in the conventional group,with sta-tistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The total effective rate was 90.63％in the combined group and 68.75％in the conventional group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was 12.50％in the combined group and 9.38％in the conventional group,with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion Lacosamide combined with ketogenic diet shows good efficacy in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy,and the combined therapy improves neurological function by synergistically reducing the levels of GFAP/S-100β.
