Objective To understand the current situation of nutrition literacy of primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District of Beijing, and analyze its influencing factors, and to put forward targeted suggestions for improving the students’ nutrition literacy and promoting their healthy growth. Methods A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 2480 primary and secondary school students and their parents from 5 primary schools, 3 middle schools and 1 high school in Shijingshan District. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the attainment rate of nutrition literacy. Results The median score of nutrition literacy of 2480 primary and secondary school students from grades 1 to 12 was 77.86 (in hundred-mark system), the quartile range (IQR) was 16.96, and the attainment rate of nutrition literacy was 42.46%. The cognitive level (45.12%) was higher than the skill level (41.20%) among students from grades 3 to 12. In terms of skills, the attainment rate of food preparation was the lowest, at 30.38%. The scores of nutrition literacy of girls were higher than those of boys, and the scores of primary school students were higher than those of secondary school students. Students with different levels of caregiver’s education, family income, and family food environment had different scores of nutrition literacy, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the attainment rate of nutrition literacy was closely related to student’s gender and study stage, caregiver’s education level, and family food environment. Conclusion The nutrition literacy of primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District still needs to be improved, especially in the aspect of skills. Targeted nutrition education should be carried out.

Objective To report the diagnosis of a canine distemper virus outbreak among a colony of cynomolgus monkeys at an experimental monkey farm in 2019. MethodsA total of 46 samples were collected from 21 diseased cynomolgus monkeys (exhibiting symptoms such as facial rash, skin scurf, runny nose, and diarrhea) and from one deceased monkey at an experimental monkey breeding farm in South China in late 2019, including serum, skin rash swabs, and anticoagulated whole blood, liver, lung, and skin tissues were submitted for testing. All submitted samples were tested for canine distemper virus gene fragments using real-time quantitative PCR, while immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect canine distemper virus nucleoprotein in lung tissues. The skin tissue of the deceased monkey was ground and sieved. The filtrate was inoculated into a monolayer MDCK cell line for virus isolation. Then, whole-genome sequencing was performed to identify the isolated virus. The Clustal Omega tool was used to align and analyze the homology of different Asian canine distemper virus isolates. A phylogenetic tree was constructed, followed by genetic evolutionary analysis. ResultsClinical retrospective analysis revealed that the diseased cynomolgus monkeys exhibited symptoms similar to those observed in cynomolgus monkeys infected with measles virus. Necropsy findings showed red lesions in the lungs and significant hemorrhage in the colonic mucosa. Real-time quantitative PCR detected canine distemper virus nucleic acid in the serum, skin rash swabs of the infected monkeys, and various tissue samples of the deceased monkey, all of which tested positive. Calculation based on the standard curve formula indicated the viral load was highest in the skin tissue. Immunohistochemical staining of the deceased monkey's lung tissue demonstrated aggregation of CDV nucleoprotein in alveolar epithelial cells, bronchi, and bronchioles. A CDV strain was isolated from the skin tissue of the deceased monkey. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this strain shares the closest relationship (98.86%) with the Asian-1 type canine distemper virus strain CDV/dog/HCM/33/140816, previously identified in dogs in Vietnam. ConclusionBased on comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, nucleic acid detection, viral protein immunohistochemistry, and whole-genome sequencing results, the diagnosis confirms that the cynomolgus monkeys in this facility are infected with canine distemper virus. It is recommended to include canine distemper virus as a routine surveillance target in captive monkey populations. Additionally, this study provides a foundation for further research on the molecular biological characteristics of canine distemper virus.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and outcomes of critically ill pregnant and parturient women with chronic hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection， and to provide clinical experience for the rescue of critically ill pregnant and parturient women and the prevention and treatment of the severe exacerbation of liver disease. MethodsA total of 41 pregnant and parturient women with chronic HBV infection who were admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine， Nanjing Second Hospital， from March 2013 to March 2023 were enrolled in this study， and their clinical data were collected through the electronic medical record system of hospital to summarize the main causes of transfer to the intensive care unit （ICU）， the causes of death， and treatment. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsAmong the 41 patients， 13 （31.71%） did not receive regular antenatal examination and 8 （19.51%） with a high viral load （HBV DNA ≥2×10⁵ IU/mL） did not receive antiviral therapy. Cesarean section was the main mode of delivery in 32 patients （78.05%）； 23 patients （56.10%） had premature delivery， and 5 patients died （12.20%）. The top three causes of transfer to the ICU were liver failure， postpartum hemorrhage， and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Liver failure mainly occurred in late pregnancy， with hepatic encephalopathy as the most common complication （28.57%） and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy as the most common comorbidity （21.43%）； among the 14 patients with liver failure， 6 （42.86%） received regular antenatal examination， and 13 （92.86%） did not receive antiviral therapy before admission. The mean length of ICU stay was 3.31±1.65 days for the patients with postpartum hemorrhage， among whom the patients with severe liver disease had coagulation disorders before delivery， which were difficult to correct after 48 hours of treatment. ConclusionPregnant and parturient women with chronic HBV infection tend to have complex conditions and a relatively high mortality rate. For pregnant and parturient women with chronic HBV infection， assessment of liver status， regular antenatal examination， and timely antiviral therapy are of vital importance to reduce severe exacerbation and mortality rate.

Objective: To learn the levels of thyroid hormone indicators among interventional and diagnostic radiologists, so as to provide insights into occupational health monitoring of radiologists. Methods: Demographic information, body mass index (BMI), thyroid hormone indicators and cumulative individual doses over 5 years among interventional and diagnostic radiologists were collected through the personal dosimetry monitoring database of Ningbo Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Occupational Health Examination Center of a tertiary hospital in Ningbo City. The thyroid hormone indicators of different job types and cumulative individual doses over 5 years were analyzed, and factors affecting the thyroid hormone indicators were identified using a multivariable ordinal logistic regression model. Results: There were 159 interventional and 159 diagnostic radiologists included, and the proportions of abnormal thyroid hormone indicators were 9.43% and 12.26%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The levels of triiodothyronine and free triiodothyronine in interventional radiologists were lower than those in diagnostic radiologists [(1.54±0.41) vs. (1.68±0.34) nmol/L, (5.13±1.07) vs. (5.55±0.87) pmol/L; both P<0.05]. The levels of triiodothyronine and free triiodothyronine were significantly different among radiologists with cumulative individual doses over 5 years of <1.5 mSv, 1.5-<3.0 mSv and ≥3.0 mSv [(1.69±0.31), (1.69±0.40) vs. (1.52±0.41) nmol/L, (5.60±0.83), (5.32±0.94) vs. (5.14±1.09) pmol/L; both P<0.05]. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis identified BMI (<18.5 kg/m2, OR=0.111, 95%CI: 0.028-0.436) and cumulative individual doses over 5 years (<1.5 mSv, OR=6.259, 95%CI: 2.368-16.547) as the factors affecting triiodothyronine, and job types (diagnostic radiologists, OR=3.171, 95%CI: 1.529-6.574), BMI (18.5-<24.0 kg/m2, OR=0.393, 95%CI: 0.184-0.842), and gender (men, OR=3.449, 95%CI: 1.294-9.190) as the factors affecting free triiodothyronine. Conclusion Occupational exposure has a certain impact on the thyroid hormone indicators among interventional and diagnostic radiologists, and the main influencing factors include BMI, radiation dose, job type and gender.

Small for gestational age (SGA) infants are more likely to experience neurocognitive impairments compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants. This paper reviews recent research on the neurocognitive development of SGA children. SGA can lead to a "brain-sparing effect" due to growth restriction, which may affect cerebral blood flow and brain structure. However, this does not guarantee normal brain development. Restrictive blood flow can result in changes in brain structure, such as reduced total white matter and gray matter volume in various brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum, ultimately leading to decreased head circumference. SGA children also exhibit lower scores in all neurocognitive domains, including intelligence, attention, memory, and executive function. This may result in poor academic performance and an increased risk of social, behavioral, and neurological problems, such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, visual and hearing impairments, as well as comorbidities like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), autism spectrum disorder(ASD), anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Several risk factors for SGA-related neurocognitive impairments have been identified, including gestational hypertension, abnormal gestational weight, smoking, and catch-up growth. Studies have shown that the best interventions to improve cognitive dysplasia include nutrient supplementation, continued breastfeeding, high-quality education, and appropriate early intervention (responsive parenting) are effective in improving cognitive outcomes for SGA children.

Objective To compare the outcomes of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery(vNOTES)and laparoendoscopic single-site surgery(LESS)for total uterine excision in obese patients with benign uterine lesions,and to investigate the utility of vNOTES in this patient population.Methods A total of 100 obese patients(BMI>28.0 kg/m2)diagnosed with benign uterine lesions requiring total uterine and bilateral salpingectomy between January 2022 and January 2023 were included in this study.They were randomly assigned to two groups:the LESS group(n=51)and the vNOTES group(n=49).Patient demographics,surgical duration,intraoperative blood loss,changes in hemoglobin levels,pain scores,time to first flatus postoperatively,length of hospital stay,pelvic floor function,sexual quality of life,and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results The two groups did not show any statistically significant differences in terms of blood loss,pre-and postoperative hemoglobin changes,pelvic floor function,sexual quality of life,or postoperative complications(P>0.05).However,the vNOTES group exhibited shorter surgical durations,time to first flatus postoperatively,and length of hospital stay compared to the LESS group(P<0.05).Additionally,the vNOTES group demonstrated lower intraoperative pain scores than the LESS group.(P<0.05).Conclusions In obese patients with benign uterine lesions,vNOTES total uterine excision surgery demonstrated shorter surgical durations and postoperative hospital stays,lower postoperative pain scores,and better adherence to the principles of en-hanced recovery after surgery(ERAS),indicating its potential for broader application.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of vertical compression with hot dental cement versus IROOT SP single-cone technique for filling oval root canals. Methods:One hundred endodontic patients (100 affected teeth) who underwent oval root canal filling treatment at Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital between July 2022 and July 2023 were included in this study. A randomized controlled clinical research method was used. These patients were divided into an observation group ( n = 50) and a control group ( n = 50) using the random number table method. The control group underwent oval root canal filling using vertical compression with hot dental cement, while the observation group used the IROOT SP single-cone technique for their fillings. Clinical efficacy, clinical indicators, quality of life outcomes, and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:The rate of successful filling in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [90.00% (45/50) vs. 64.00% (32/50), χ2 = 9.54, P < 0.05]. The rate of overfilling in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [2.00% (1/50) vs. 16.00% (8/50), χ2 = 4.40, P < 0.05]. The percentage of residual filling material (buccal-lingual and mesial-distal) and the operation time in the observation group were (0.23 ± 0.12)%, (0.37 ± 0.12)%, and (236.52 ± 27.12) seconds, respectively, all of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(0.28 ± 0.12)%, (0.45 ± 0.16)%, and (284.56 ± 28.15) seconds, t = 2.08, 2.83, 8.69, all P < 0.05]. After 3 months of treatment, the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life score and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score in the observation group were (9.96 ± 0.23) points and (1.23 ± 0.05) points, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(25.65 ± 4.52) points, (4.56 ± 1.01) points, t = 24.51, 23.29, both P < 0.001]. The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [2.00% (1/50) vs. 30.00% (15/50), χ2 = 14.58, P < 0.001]. Conclusion:The IROOT SP single-cone technique demonstrates better clinical efficacy, more effectively alleviates clinical indicators, improves patients' quality of life, and reduces the occurrence of adverse reactions compared with vertical compression with hot dental cement.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of the bacterial strains isolated from urine samples in a tertiary Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Shanghai in the 12-year period from 2010 through 2021 for better empirical antibiotic use in clinical practice.Methods The clinical data of patients with urinary tract infection,including the species and antibiotic resistance of the bacterial strains isolated from urine samples from January 2010 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 5 231 nondupliate bacterial strains were isolated,among which E.coli was the most common(52.8％),followed by Enterococcus spp(19.1％)and Klebsiella spp(11.1％).Most of the urinary isolates(76.0％)were isolated from the elderly aged 60-89,and only 3.1％of the strains were isolated from the young people aged under 44.Most of the bacterial strains were isolated from female patients(75.8％),however,more P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii were isolated from male patients compared to female patients(55.3％vs 44.7％and 67.7％vs 32.3％).About 13.7％of the strains were collected from the Department of Nephrology,more than the strains from any other clincial department.In intensive care unit(ICU),the proportion of E.coli was the lowest,while the proportion of Enterococcus spp was the highest.Enterobacterales showed lower resistance raets to carbapenems,cephamycin,amikacin,cefepime,and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations.P.aeruginosa showed higher susceptibility rates to carbapenems,aminoglycosides and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations compared to A.baumannii(≥54.6％vs≤39.8％).Gram-positive cocci were highly sensitive to glycopeptide antibiotics.No SS.aureus or E.faecalis isolates were found resistant to vancomycin.About 2.7％of the E.faecium isolates were resistant to vancomycin.The prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria was the highest in elderly patients,and in the strains isolated from ICU and emergency department.Conclusions Compared with general hospitals,a high proportion of elderly patients were treated in this hospital.It should be more cautious in the treatment of patients with urinary tract infection.The major bacterial species isolated from urine were E.coli,Enterococcus,and K.pneumoniae.Empirical treatment should be prescribed considering patient age and gender as well as the species and distribution of pathogenic bacteria.Urine culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing should be performed proactively.Appropriate antimicrobial agents should be selected according to the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Antimicrobial ressitance surveillance should also be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the differences in blood pressure phenotypes,renal pathological changes,and related pathogenic pathways in genetically diverse hypertensive mice obtained from 13 strains.Methods The genotypes of Cckbr+/+,Cckbr+/-and Cckbr-/-were obtained by hybridization of 13 strains of genetically diverse mice with Cckbr-/-mice.Blood pressure was measured with a noninvasive blood pressure analysis system(BP-2000).The expression of CCKBR protein in mouse kidney tissue was detected by Western Blot,and the pathological changes in mouse kidney tissue were detected by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and immunohistochemistry(IHC).The pathogenic pathways related to essential hypertension were screened by RNA sequencing.Results In three specific mouse strains(A/J,LOT,and FIM),the systolic blood pressure(SBP)was significantly different between the Cckbr-/-and Cckbr+/+groups.HE staining and IHC showed that hypertension caused a certain degree of renal injury in the mice.Gene Ontology(GO)and pathway enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed genes were enriched in metabolic processes and circadian rhythm regulation.Conclusions Genetically diverse mice can effectively simulate the genetic background of the population and provide a new resource for studying the pathogenic genes related to essential hypertension.
