To investigate the correlation between vitamin D nutritional status and insulin resistance in pubertal adolescents. This cross-sectional observational study employed convenience sampling to recruit 2021-grade(8th grade) students from Jining No.7 Middle School in Shandong Province on June 5, 2023. Data collection included questionnaires, physical examinations, and imaging assessments to obtain general information, secondary sexual characteristics development, and bone age. Venous blood samples were collected to measure fasting blood glucose(FBG), fasting insulin(FINS), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D] levels. Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate linear regression models were used to examine the associations between serum vitamin D levels and FBG, FINS, and HOMA-IR. The study included 168 pubertal adolescents[69 females(41.1%), 99 males(58.9%); mean age(13.27±0.46) years]. All participants had entered puberty based on sexual development assessment. Vitamin D deficiency was observed in 41 participants(24.4%), insufficiency in 109(64.9%), and sufficiency in 18(10.7%). The median HOMA-IR was 3.49(2.57, 5.14).Significant differences were found across vitamin D status groups for HOMA-IR [4.45(2.54, 6.62) Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is prevalent among pubertal adolescents, and serum vitamin D levels show a significant inverse association with insulin resistance. These findings suggest the potential importance of vitamin D status in metabolic health during puberty.

To investigate body composition and associated factors in adolescents undergoing long-term regular sports training. This prospective longitudinal cohort study employed convenience sampling to recruit adolescents receiving structured athletic training at Jining Sports Training Center in June 2023. Baseline measurements included height, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, heart rate, waist circumference, and hip circumference. Questionnaires assessed sleep duration, screen time, and household income. Follow-up measurements in June 2024 repeated these assessments while adding bioelectrical impedance analysis for body composition (lean mass, skeletal muscle mass, fat mass, and body fat percentage). Linear regression models examined associations between training type (direct-contact vs. non-contact sports) and follow-up body fat percentage, BMI, and waist circumference as dependent variables, adjusting for covariates. The study included 110 adolescents (39 female, 71 male) with median age 13.21 years (IQR: 12.46-14.33). Participants comprised 65 direct-contact and 45 non-contact athletes. Baseline prevalence rates were 27.27% for overweight/obesity, 24.55% for elevated waist circumference, and 16.36% for elevated blood pressure. At follow-up, corresponding rates were 24.55%, 26.36%, and 13.64% respectively. The elevated blood pressure subgroup showed significantly higher waist circumference ( Despite regular athletic training, substantial proportions of adolescents exhibited overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity, and elevated blood pressure, warranting clinical attention. Training modality appears to influence body composition changes, with direct-contact sports associated with more favorable adiposity-related outcomes.

To analyze the effects of tooth brushing frequency on blood indicators among adolescents and to preliminarily explore the effects of tooth brushing frequency on general health. Using convenience sampling method, the study included the students of class 2021 of Jining No. 7 Middle School and student athletes from the Jining Sports Training Center. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to investigate the correlation between tooth brushing frequency and blood indicators such as eosinophil percentage (EOS%), eosinophil count (EOS#), basophil percentage (BAS%), basophil count (BAS#), superoxide dismutase (SOD), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and uric acid (UA). A total of 305 students were included (167 from Jining No. 7 Middle School, 138 from Jining Sports Training Centre), with 192 (62.95%) males and 113 (37.05%) females. They were divided into three groups based on daily teeth brushing frequency: ≤1 time (40.33%, 123/305), 2 times (53.77%, 164/305), and ≥3 times (5.90%, 18/305).Univariate linear regression analysis showed that brushing twice daily was negatively correlated with EOS%, EOS#, BAS%, and BAS#(all The adolescent tooth brushing frequency correlates with several blood indicators affecting general health, suggesting that there may be a potential association between oral health and general health.

To evaluate the correlation between ultrasound ossification ratio(OR) and exercise intensity among adolescents. This cross-sectional study used stratified sampling to select adolescents aged 11-15 years from a sports school and some ordinary middle schools in Shandong Province in June 2023. The participants were divided into two groups: competitive sports group (high exercise intensity), and general sports group (moderate exercise intensity), based on their exercise intensity. Ultrasound images of long bones from nine body regions (including 3 upper limb bones and 6 lower limb bones) were collected for both groups. Two sonographers interpreted the images and calculated the ultrasound OR values (the ratio of ossification center length to epiphyseal length on the standard ultrasound section). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the consistency of image interpretation between the observers. Differences in ultrasound OR values between the two groups were compared, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the correlation between ultrasound OR values and exercise intensity. A total of 252 adolescents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included, with 154 in the competitive sports group (97 males and 57 females) and 98 in the general sports group (52 males and 46 females). The median height and average daily exercise duration were significantly higher in the competitive sports group than in the general sports group (all The medial femoral ultrasound OR value was correlated with exercise intensity among adolescents. This indicator may serve as an objective imaging parameter for assessing whether adolescent exercise meets recommended standards.

Objective:To explore the impact of early postoperative hypocaloric parenteral nutrition on perioperative infectious complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma.Methods:The data of 205 patients who underwent hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma in the Division of Hepatobiliary and Transplantation Surgery at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between February 2020 and December 2022 were collected by a single center prospective cohort study. The patients were divided into a hypocaloric group ( n=108) and a normal calorie group ( n=97) based on whether they received hypocaloric parenteral nutrition within 72 hours postoperatively. The influence of early parenteral nutrition caloric on perioperative infectious complications was analyzed. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s) and compared using t-test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3) and compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Comparison of categorical data was performed using the chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. To adjust for confounding factors, patients were grouped for comparison based on whether they experienced infectious complications within the 30-day postoperative follow-up period. Factors that may influence postoperative infectious complications were first analyzed using univariate analysis, and variables with statistical significance were then included in multivariate analysis. Results:A total of 82 patients experiencing infectious complications, resulting in an incidence rate of 40.0%. Patients in the hypocaloric parenteral nutrition group had significantly lower rates of hyperglycemic events (17.6% vs 29.9%, P=0.038) and gastrointestinal reactions (12.0% vs 22.7%, P=0.043) compared to the normal calorie parenteral nutrition group, with no intergroup differences in other nutrition-related complications. Univariate analysis results revealed that hypocaloric parenteral nutrition, hepatocellular carcinoma, malnutrition assessed by the GLIM criteria, open surgery, major hepatectomy, perioperative hyperglycemic events, and the presence of pleural or ascitic fluid were potential influencing factors for the occurrence of infectious complications ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis results suggested that malnutrition ( OR=2.707, 95% CI: 1.153-6.354, P=0.022), open surgery ( OR=2.103, 95% CI: 1.073-4.122, P=0.030), perioperative hyperglycemic events ( OR=2.630, 95% CI: 1.228-5.631, P=0.013), and the presence of pleural or ascitic fluid ( OR=2.714, 95% CI: 1.388-5.306, P=0.004) were risk factors for perioperative infectious complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma, while early postoperative hypocaloric parenteral nutrition ( OR=0.388, 95% CI: 0.199-0.757, P=0.006) was a protective factor. Conclusion:For patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma, early postoperative hypocaloric parenteral nutrition may reduce the incidence of perioperative infectious complications compared to normal caloric parenteral nutrition, thereby improving patient clinical outcomes.

Objective:
To understand the health education demands of primary and middle school students in Guiyang.
Methods:
A multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to conduct a questionnaire survey for 5 540 students in grades 3-9 in Guiyang.
Results:
The report rate of dental caries decreases with the increase of school age(P<0.05), and the reporting rate of myopia and the appearance of sexual development characteristics increases with the increase of school age(P<0.05). Proportion of middle and primary school students who could get enough sleep every day(17.6% and 22.0%) and one hour of outdoor activities every day(13.9% and 20.9%) was relatively low.The proportion of graduating students with running away from home and suicide/self-injury ideas/plans and behaviors was higher than other grades in the same school period(P<0.05).The proportion of middle school female students who have thoughts/plans of running away from home, suicidal/self-injury plans and behaviors was higher than that of male students.Students with greater academic pressure,fewer friends,and lack of communication with their parents were more likely to have thoughts/plans or behaviors of running away from home and suicide/self-harm(P<0.05). There were 4 600 students(83.3%) who expressed the demands for health education.School was the primary source of health knowledge for students,with the class meetings accounted for the most practices.Health education on healthy behaviors and lifestyles were highly expected.
Conclusion
The health education demands of primary and middle school students in Guiyang show age and sex specific characteristics.Health education should follow the physical and psychological development characteristics of students and adapt to the needs of students.
