Objective: To investigate the nutritional status and influencing factors among Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents aged 7-18 years in high-altitude regions, so as to provide evidence for early prevention and control of malnutrition in this population. Methods: From May to June 2022, a cluster sampling method was employed to recruit 1 019 Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents aged 7-18 years from two primary and secondary schools in Golmud City. Physical examinations, dietary frequency questionnaires, and physical activity assessments were conducted. Nutritional status was classified as obesity, combined overweight/obesity, underweight, or central obesity according to national standards including Screening for Overweight and Obesity among School-age Children and Adolescents, Screening Standard for Malnutrition of School-age Children and Adolescents, Blue Book on Obesity Prevention and Control in China. Chi-square tests, t-test and Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with different nutritional statuses. Results: The detection rates of obesity, combined overweight/obesity, underweight, and central obesity were 8.0%, 18.1%, 5.2%, and 19.7%, respectively. The height of children and adolescents across all age groups was generally lower than the national standard values. Tibetan participants exhibited significantly lower height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ)(9-10, 13-17 years, Z =2.01, 2.78, 4.16, 3.38, 4.12, 3.63, 3.00) and BMI-for-age Z-scores (BAZ) compared to Mongolian participants ( Z =-2.95, -2.47, -2.31, -2.89, -2.14, -2.17)( P < 0.05 ). Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that Mongolian children and adolescents had higher risks of obesity ( OR =2.20) and combined overweight/obesity ( OR = 2.18 ) ( P <0.05). Additionally, insufficient moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was associated with an increased risk of central obesity ( OR =1.48, P <0.05), compared with children and adolescents who meet the standard of MVPA. Conclusions The rates of overweight and obesity among Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents in Golmud City are higher, influenced by multiple factors. Nutrition interventions and physical activity strategies tailored to ethnic characteristics should be implemented, with emphasis on promoting MVPA to improve nutritional outcomes in this population.

Objective: To explore the iodine nutrition status of children in Wuhan from 2019 to 2023, and to evaluate the effect of iodine deficiency disorders control in focus groups in Wuhan, so as to provide a basis for consolidating elimination of iodine deficiency disorders. Methods: A total of 13 000 non boarding primary school students aged 8-10 were selected from 13 districts of Wuhan by stratified random sampling method.Household salt samples were collected to measure salt iodine content, random urine samples were analyzed for urinary iodine concentration. And B ultrasound was used to measure thyroid volume in students. The median of salt iodine, coverage rate of iodized salt, consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, median of urinary iodine, and the goiter rate were calculated. And Mann-Whitney U- test, Kruskal-Wallis H- test and Chi-square test were applied to compare between groups. Chi-square trend test was used to analyze the changing trends of coverage rate of iodized salt, consumption rate of qualified iodized salt and goiter rate among children in Wuhan. Results: The median of iodine content of children s household salt was 23.8 (21.7, 26.1) mg/kg, and the coverage rate of iodized salt was 98.7%, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 94.5 %. The consumption rates of qualified iodized salt showed an overall upward trend from 2019 to 2023 ( χ 2 trend =5.57， P <0.05). The median of urinary iodine of children was 220.1 (136.7, 326.0) μg/L,and boys had higher median of urinary iodine than girls [228.3(143.2, 336.0),210.2(129.1, 315.7) μg/L] ( Z =6.60, P <0.01). The median of urinary iodine of children in suburbs was higher than those in urban areas [236.3 (150.7, 342.2) , 207.1 (124.5, 309.8) μg/L]( Z =11.00, P <0.01). A total of 4 600 children were examined for thyroid volume, and the range of goiter rates were 1.1% to 3.4%, with an average goiter rate of 2.5%, which showed an overall downward trend from 2019 to 2023 ( χ 2 trend =5.11, P <0.05). Conclusions The iodine nutrition is sufficient and iodine nutrition status is good among children in Wuhan. It should continue to carry out monitoring and evaluation of children s iodine nutrition, guide the public to supplement iodine scientifically,so as to maintain the appropriate level of iodine for children.

The tumor microenvironment includes blood vessels， lymph， nerves， non-malignant cells， and their metabolites at and near the tumor lesion site， which interact with cancer cells and promote cancer progression. Rapid proliferation of cancer cells increases oxygen consumption， or abnormalities in the structure and function of blood vessels in solid tumors lead to a decrease in oxygen supply， forming a hypoxia microenvironment. The existence of a hypoxia microenvironment is a typical pathophysiological feature of locally advanced solid tumors， widely present in various types of human malignant tumors. Hypoxia microenvironment is a sign of tumor microenvironment and an important and complex system in the breast tumor microenvironment. Its formation and development are closely related to the growth of breast cancer， occupying an important position in the research and treatment of breast cancer. With its advantages of multiple pathways and multiple targets， the effective monomer and compound of traditional Chinese medicine can better regulate the hypoxia microenvironment of breast cancer， inhibit the proliferation， invasion， and metastasis of breast cancer cells in the hypoxia environment， induce apoptosis， reverse their drug resistance， intervene in the metabolic reprogramming of breast cancer cells in the hypoxia environment， and inhibit their angiogenesis， thereby improving the quality of life of patients to a certain extent and prolonging the survival cycle of patients. This paper first summarized and discussed the effects of hypoxia microenvironment on proliferation， invasion， metastasis， drug resistance， immune function， metabolic reprogramming， non-coding RNA， iron death， and autophagy of breast cancer cells， which affected the occurrence and development of breast cancer， and it elaborated the mechanism behind it. Then， the paper elucidated the regulatory effect and mechanism of targeting the hypoxia microenvironment based on the two modes of effective monomer and compound of traditional Chinese medicine， so as to analyze and extract the deficiencies and directions of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating the hypoxia microenvironment and provide a theoretical reference for the effective treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To study the effect of formononetin on the cell damage of glucose/oxygen deprivation/reoxy-genation glyconeurons via the PARP1 signaling pathway,and to offer theoretical support for the use of Caragana isoflavones in the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods In mouse neurons(HT22),a model of Oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)was created.Western blot was used to detect the expres-sion of PARP1 and PARG in HT22 neurons at various time points of glucose-oxygen deprivation/reoxygenation,and the optimal time point of pathway modification was chosen.After OGD/R,HT22 cells were treated with form-ononetin,PARP1 inhibitor(PJ34),and PARG inhibitor,and six groups were developed:control group,control group+formononetin group,OGD/R group,OGD/R+formononetin group,OGD/R+PJ34 group,OGD/R+PARG inhibitor group.HT22 cells were grown normally without OGD/R therapy in the control group.The expres-sion levels of apoptotic factors and associated proteins in each group were determined using immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results PARP1 pathway was activated most obviously in HT22 cells after 3 hours of glucose and ox-ygen deprivation/reoxygenation.Under the condition of OGD/R 3 h,treatment with formononetin,PJ34 or PARG inhibitor could increase E3 ubiquitin ligase(Iduna),inhibit the expression of PARP1 and PARG pathway proteins,reduce the expression of AIF and P53,and increase the phosphorylation level of AKT protein.Conclusion Form-ononetin can block the PARP1/AIF/Akt signaling pathway by raising the expression of Iduna protein in the pres-ence of OGD/R,hence decreasing the damage to HT22 mouse neurons.

BACKGROUND:Photothermal therapy is a novel tumor treatment strategy that uses photothermal agents to transform light energy into heat energy to accomplish non-invasive tumor ablation.The rise of photothermal therapy and nanotechnology has provided a new perspective on breast cancer treatment.OBJECTIVE:To prepare a new type of near-infrared biomimetic nanoprobe that has been modified by breast cancer cell membrane,to investigate the effect of near-infrared fluorescence/ultrasound imaging in vitro,and to observe its targeting ability and photothermal therapy effect on homologous tumor cells in vitro.METHODS:Organic small molecule ITIC-4CI with A-D-A structure was used as photothermal agents;polylactic acid/glycolic acid copolymer as nanocarrier;4T1 cell membrane of mouse breast cancer cells as a surface modifier of nanoparticles;perfluorohexane(PFH)was loaded.A novel near-infrared biomimetic nanoprobe(4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH)was prepared by the double emulsion evaporation method and sonication method.The basic characterization of the nanoprobe and the homologous targeting ability were detected.The photothermal properties and photothermal stability of the probe were investigated,and the near-infrared fluorescence/ultrasound imaging effect of the probe under laser irradiation was observed.The CCK-8 assay and calcein/propidium iodide staining were used to assess the efficacy of photothermal therapy.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The prepared 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH nanoprobes had uniform size,high stability,and an average particle size of(92.7±2.3)nm.The probe's protein composition was identical to that of the 4T1 cell membrane.The nanoprobe's ability to target homologous 4T1 cells was validated by an in vitro cell uptake assay.(2)The nanoprobe had a red-shift absorption spectrum and tail emission extending to the near-infrared-Ⅱ,which emitted a bright near-infrared-Ⅱ fluorescence signal under laser irradiation.(3)After laser irradiation,the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH could be turned into microbubbles and enhanced ultrasound imaging.The results of CCK-8 assay and calcein/propidium iodide staining showed that the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH had an obvious photothermal killing effect on 4T1 cells.(4)The results show that the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH has the ability to target homologous tumors and enhance near-infrared-Ⅱ fluorescence imaging/ultrasound imaging and photothermal therapy effects.

By exploring the core ideas of the "Xingnao Kaiqiao" theory, analyzing the relationship between the "Xingnao Kaiqiao" theory and the TCM encephalopathy, and exploring the necessity of acupuncture for the treatment of TCM encephalopathy, in order to clarify how to diagnose and treat brain diseases in acupuncture and moxibustion. The "Xingnao Kaiqiao" is the core of the theory of the "Tiaoshen", the acupuncture of "Xingnao Kaiqiao" was based on the principle of "Xingnao","Xingshen" and "Tiaoshen", the idea of the "Tiaoshen" was inseparable from the diagnosis and treatment of the TCM encephalopathy. Based on the special features of acupuncture therapy and complexity and particularity of TCM encephalopathy, acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of encephalopathy was supposed to have their own unique system of syndrome differentiation and treatment. During the practice of acupuncture, the diagnosis and treatment of TCM encephalopathy should be based on "brain", "Xingnao Tiaoshen" as a general rule, adding and subtracting from the main points of the "Xingnao Kaiqiao", and the different brain diseases are matched with appropriate treatments.

Objective To explore the association between interpregnancy weight change and the recurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods This study included women who had two delivery records and a history of GDM during their previous pregnancy at the Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between January 2017 and July 2022.Interpregnancy weight change was defined as the difference between the prepregnancy BMIs of two consecutive pregnancies.Interpregnancy weight change was categorized into four groups(＜-1,-1 to＜1,1 to＜3,≥3 kg/m2),with the-1 to＜1 kg/m2 group serving as the reference.Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the associations of interpregnancy weight changes with GDM recurrence and changes in glucose values during two consecutive pregnancies.Results Among 703 participants,326 individuals(46.4％)experienced GDM recurrence.Compared with the groups with an interpregnancy BMI change of-1 to＜1 kg/m2,the groups with a BMI change of 1 to＜3 or ≥3 presented an increased risk of GDM recurrence,with odds ratio(OR)[95％confi-dence intervals(CI)]of 2.16(1.52-3.08)and 2.56(1.44-4.56),respectively.The risk of GDM recurrence significantly in-creased with increasing interpregnancy weight gain(P for trend＜0.01).However,there was no significant association between a BMI change＜-1 kg/m2 and GDM recurrence,with an OR(95％CI)of 0.95(0.57-1.57).An increase of 1 kg/m2 in the in-terpregnancy BMI was associated with a higher risk of elevated fasting blood glucose and 1 h plasma glucose,with OR(95％C1)of 1.15(1.05-1.26)and 1.21(1.10-1.33),respectively.Conclusion Women with a history of GDM are at a high risk of GDM recurrence,and interpregnancy weight gain is associated with an increased risk of GDM recurrence.These findings under-score the importance of health education among women with a history of GDM who plan to conceive again and emphasize the im-portance of weight management in reducing the recurrence of GDM.

Background and purpose:In 2016 the National Cancer Institute(NCI)decided stopping to use NCI-60 cell lines for drug screening,suggesting that tumor cell lines were losing their value as a tool for drug discovery and basic research.The reason for NCI-60 cells'retirement'was that the preclinical studies based on traditional cellular and animal models did not obtain the corresponding expected efficacy in clinical trials.Since the major cancer behaviors,such as proliferation and metastasis,are fundamentally altered with long-term culture,the tumor cell lines are not representative of the characteristics of cancer in patients.Currently,scientists hope to create a new cancer model that are derived from fresh patient samples and tagged with details about their clinical past.Our purpose was to create patient-derived breast cancer primary cell lines as new cancer model for drug screening and basic research.Methods:Breast cancer tissues were collected in the Department of Breast Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University.The collection of tumor tissue samples was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University(approval number:2022 ethics No.313),and the collection and use of tumor tissues complied with the Declaration of Helsinki.The primary breast cancer cell lines were isolated from the patient's breast cancer tissues and cultured in BCMI medium.After the cells proliferated,the media were replaced with DEME medium.Cell line STR genotyping was done to determine cell-specific genetic markers and identification.Clone formation assay and transplantation assay were done to analyze the ability of breast cancer primary cell lines to form tumors.Results:We created 6 primary breast cancer cell lines.The 6 primary breast cancer cell lines from the patients were tagged with the definitively clinicopathological features,clinical diagnosis,therapeutic regimens,clinical effectiveness and prognostic outcomes.The STR genotyping assays identified the genetic markers and determined the identities of the 6 primary breast cancer cell lines.Clone formation assays and transplantation assay showed that the proliferative capacities of the patient-derived primary breast cancer cell lines were significantly greater compared with the conventional breast cancer cell lines.Conclusion:We created a panel of 6 patient-derived primary breast cancer cell lines as new cancer model for drug screening and basic research in breast cancer.

To investigate the expression of miR-133a and miR-424 in the serum of patients with connective tissue disease(CTD)and interstitial lung disease(ILD)and their relationship with T lymphocyte subpopulations,total of 96 CTD-ILD patients treated in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2022 were selected as CTD-ILD group,while 96 CTD patients without ILD were as the control group.The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)method was applied to detect serum levels of miR-133a and miR-424;flow cytometry was applied to detect the levels of T lymphocyte subpopulations.Pearson method was applied to analyze the relationship of miR-133a and miR-424 with T lymphocyte subpopulations.Compared with the control group,the level of serum miR-133a in the CTD-ILD group was obviously reduced,while the expression level of miR-424 was obviously increased(P＜0.05).Under different degrees of pulmonary ventilation disorders,the expression level of miR-133a in the serum of mild,moderate,and severe patients decreased obviously,while the expression level of miR-424 increased obviously(P＜0.05).Under different grades of pulmonary diffusion dysfunction,the expression level of miR-133a in the serum of mild,moderate,and severe patients reduced obviously,while the expression level of miR-424 increased obviously(P＜0.05).Furthermore,the levels of CD4+and CD4+/CD8+in the CTD-ILD group were obviously increased,as compared to the control group,while the levels of CD8+and CD3+were obviously reduced(P＜0.05).In addition,miR-133a was negatively correlated with CD4+,and positively correlated with CD8+and CD3+;miR-424 was positively correlated with CD4+,and negatively correlated with CD8+and CD3+(P＜0.05).In conclusion,the expression level of miR-133a in serum of CTD-ILD patients is decreased,while the expression level of miR-424 is increased,and both of them are related to the T lymphocyte subpopulations.
