Objective:
To explore the effect of replacing rice bowls with trays on controlling the salt intake among school aged children, providing new evidence and insights for salt reduction intervention.
Methods:
From April to May 2024, 373 students from grades 4-9 at a boarding school in Guizhou Province were enrolled through stratified random cluster sampling, with one intervention class and one control class per grade. During the intervention period for one month, and the types of meals provided, pricing standards, and dining procedures shall remain consistent with daily operations, the intervention group ( n =181) compartmentalized trays for lunch and dinner, while the control group ( n =192) still used a rice bowl. Pre and post intervention assessments included 24 hour urine collection, questionnaire surveys, and physical measurements. The difference in differences analysis combined with multiple linear regression was used to analyze the changes in sodium intake and to evaluate the net effect of the intervention.
Results:
The post intervention 24 hour sodium intake in the intervention group was ( 2 222.6 ±1 013.6) mg, an increase of 94.6 mg from baseline, with no statistically significant difference ( t=1.10, P >0.05). In contrast, the post intervention 24 hour sodium intake in the control group was (2 080.5±895.7) mg, a decrease of 190.8 mg from baseline, showing a statistically significant difference ( t=-2.39, P <0.05). The difference in differences results indicated that after adjusting the model for factors such as gender, grade and dietary behaviors affecting sodium intake, the intervention group showed a net increase of 232.5 mg [ β(95%CI )=232.5(-40.3-505.2)] in 24 hour sodium intake compared to the control group, with no statistically significant net effect ( P >0.05).
Conclusions
Merely changing tableware is insufficient to control children s salt intake effectively. Based on continuous practical explorations and evidence based research grounded in the nudge theory, multi dimensional measures such as salt reduction education and the construction of a supportive environment should be integrated to form an intervention system that achieves synergistic and enhanced effects.

Objective:To explore the influence of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived skin organoid-conditioned culture medium (SO-CM) on the function of human dermal fibroblasts (Fbs) induced by high glucose, with the aim of providing treatment ideas for diabetic wounds.Methods:This study was an experimental research. Human iPSCs were induced into skin organoids. Human iPSC-derived skin organoids and human dermal Fbs were seeded into skin organoid culture medium (SOM) and cultured for three days, respectively. Then the cell culture supernatants were collected as SO-CM and Fb-conditioned culture medium (Fb-CM), respectively. The content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-18, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL-2), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and VEGF-β in SOM, Fb-CM, and SO-CM was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Human Fbs of passage 8 and 9 induced by high glucose were divided into SOM group, Fb-CM group, and SO-CM group according to the random number table method, and were cultured with SOM, Fb-CM, and SO-CM all containing glucose at final molarity of 35 mmol/L, respectively. After 24 hours of culture, the Ki67 positive ratio of cells was calculated after immunofluorescence staining, and the cell absorbance value was detected by using cell counting kit-8, representing cell proliferation activity. The cell scratch test was performed to calculate the cell migration rate at 13 hours after scratching. After 48 hours of culture, the expression of reactive oxygen species in cells was detected by fluorescent probe method, and the rate of β-galactosidase-positive staining of cells was detected by β-galactosidase staining kit, representing cellular senescence. The sample size was three.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the content of TNF-α, PDGF, and TGF-β among the three culture media ( P>0.05). Compared with that in SOM, the content of IL-10 and EGF in Fb-CM and SO-CM was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), while the content of CCL-2 in FB-CM and VEGF in SO-CM was significantly increased ( P<0.05). After 24 hours of culture, the Ki67 positive ratio ((45.2±6.0)% and (57.4±4.0)%) and absorbance values (124±5 and 158±12) of cells in the Fb-CM group and the SO-CM group were significantly higher than those in the SOM group ((29.6±2.1)% and 100±6, P<0.05), and the Ki67 positive ratio and absorbance value of cells in the SO-CM group were significantly higher than those in the Fb-CM group ( P<0.05). At 13 hours after scratching, the cell migration rates in the Fb-CM group and the SO-CM group were significantly higher than that in the SOM group ( P<0.05). After 48 hours of culture, the level of reactive oxygen species in the SO-CM group was significantly higher than that in the SOM group and the Fb-CM group (with both P values <0.05). After 48 hours of culture, there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of β-galactosidase-positive staining of cells among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The SO-CM has high content of VEGF and can significantly promote the proliferation, migration, and expression of reactive oxygen species in human dermal Fbs induced by high glucose, but has no significant effect on cell senescence.

Gaucher′s disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disease, and the etiology of GD is the decreased activity of glucocerebrosidase, which leads to the accumulation of glucocerebroside in the lysosomes of macrophages. Because GD is rare and lacks specific clinical manifestations, it is easy to be misdiagnosed, which delays the best time for treatment. Early diagnosis, clinical evaluation, and regular monitoring of the disease have important clinical significance for enzyme replacement therapy in patients with GD. Recent studies have found that radionuclide imaging is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment of GD. This article introduces the application of radionuclide imaging in the diagnosis and management of GD.

Aim To investigate the effect of Trillium tschonoskii Maxim ( TTM ) ethanol extract on hypoxia ischemia brain damage ( HIBD ) in neonatal rats and potential mechanisms. Methods Fifty healthy SD rats of 7 day-old were randomly divided into three groups:the sham operation group ( n=10 ) , the model group ( n=20 ) and TTM treatment group ( n=20 ) , which received 3-day intraperitoneal injection of normal saline or ethanol extract of TTM respectively. TTC staining and Nissl staining were performed to detect the cerebral ischemia area and neuronal death. Western blot was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax. Re-sults The brain tissue of model group was slightly swollen, and white necrotic zone induced by ischemia occured on the right side of the brain, while the brain morphology of TTM treatment group was good. After TTC staining, ischemia zone was clearly seen on the right side of the brain in model group, while after TTM treatment, the size of ischemic zone was decreased. Compared with the model group , Nissl staining showed the neuronal cells increased in TTM treatment group. Western blot showed the expression of Bcl-2 protein in TTM group increased than that in HIBD model group ( P <0. 01 ) , while the expression of Bax protein de-creased ( P <0. 01 ) . Conclusion TTM therapy is beneficial for HIBD,which may be related to reducing neuronal apoptosis.
