		                        			Objective:
		                        			To evaluate the comprehensive intervention effect of lunch for primary and secondary school students in Minhang District, so as to provide a theoretical and practical basis for lunch intervention in school.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			From October to December 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 1 937 students from one primary and secondary school in Minhang District.A comprehensive intervention measure focusing on "reducing oil and salt" for lunch recipe optimization and nutrition education was carried out, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the intervention effect three months later.  Chi square test and Wilcoxon rank test were used to compare the data before and after the intervention.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			After intervention, the use of cooking oil and salt, the supply of protein and fat in primary and secondary school lunches were reduced, and had no obvious impact on energy and other major nutrients. After intervention, compared to before intervention, the proportion of primary school students who felt that lunch was greasy decreased (8.9%, 6.2%,  χ 2=4.35), and the proportion of primary and secondary school students who felt that lunch were delicious decreased significantly (33.2%, 23.2%; 63.9%, 53.5%,  χ 2=26.39, 17.52) ( P < 0.05 ). Secondary school students also felt reduced variety of food ingredients (46.9%, 38.3%,  χ 2=16.05,  P <0.05). In addition, after intervention, the total surplus rate of primary school students  meals decreased (7.4%, 4.4%,  χ 2=5.73), mainly reflected in the decrease of the surplus rate of staple foods (7.1%, 2.4%,  χ 2=17.39), while the surplus rate of vegetable dishes increased ( 16.0 %, 21.2%,  χ 2=6.01) ( P <0.05). Although there was no significant change in the total surplus rate of meals for secondary school students, the surplus rate of staple foods decreased (12.9%, 5.4%,  χ 2=33.52), while the surplus rates of meat and vegetable dishes increased (11.2%, 26.9%; 17.5%, 33.2%,  χ 2=74.26, 61.88) ( P <0.05). After intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the overweight and obesity rates of primary school students ( χ 2=0.11,0.43) and secondary school students ( χ 2=0.01,0.00) compared to before intervention( P >0.05). After intervention, the lung capacity of primary school students [1 564 (1 269,1 890) mL] and sitting forward flexion [11.3 (7.6, 15.2) cm] increased compared to before intervention [1 522 (1 259, 1 819 ) mL, 10.5 (6.3, 13.5) cm] ( Z =2.20, 4.68,  P <0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference in lung capacity and sitting forward flexion of secondary school students before and after intervention ( Z =-0.46, -0.08,  P >0.05).
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			The comprehensive intervention of school lunch has promoted a significant decrease in the use of oil and salt in lunch and improved the quality of recipes, and has a positive impact on the situation of leftover lunch and the health of students to a certain extent.

		                        			 Objective:
		                        			This study aims to investigate the anatomical relationship among the nerve roots, intervertebral space, pedicles, and intradural rootlets of the cervical spine for improving operative outcomes and exploring neuroventral decompression approach in posterior endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD). 
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			Cervical computed tomography myelography imaging data from January 2021 to May 2023 were collected, and the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer Software was employed to conduct multiplane reconstruction. The following parameters were recorded: width of nerve root (WN), nerve root-superior pedicle distance (NSPD), nerve root-inferior pedicle distance (NIPD), and the relationship between the intervertebral space and the nerve root (shoulder, anterior, and axillary). Additionally, the descending angles between the spinal cord and the ventral (VRA) and dorsal (DRA) rootlets were measured. 
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			The WN showed a gradual increase from C4 to C7, with measurements notably larger in men compared to women. The NSPD decreased gradually from the C2–3 to the C5–6 levels. However, the NIPD showed an opposite level-related change, notably larger than the NSPD at the C4–5, C5–6, and C7–T1 levels. Furthermore, significant differences in NIPD were observed between different age groups and genders. The incidence of the anterior type exhibited a gradual decrease from the C2–3 to the C5–6 levels. Conversely, the axillary type exhibited an opposite level-related change. Additionally, the VRA and DRA decreased as the level descended, with measurements significantly larger in females. 
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			A prediction of the positional relationship between the intervertebral space and the nerve root is essential for the direct neuroventral decompression in PECD to avoid damaging the neural structures. The axillary route of the nerve root offers a safer and more effective pathway for performing direct neuroventral decompression compared to the shoulder approach.

		                        			: The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between spermine synthase (SMS) expression, tumor occurrence, and prognosis in lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). 
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			: A total of 523 LGG patients and 1152 normal brain tissues were included as controls. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to evaluate SMS expression in the LGG group. Functional annotation analysis was conducted to explore the biological processes associated with high SMS expression. Immune cell infiltration analysis was performed to examine the correlation between SMS expression and immune cell types. The association between SMS expression and clinical and pathological features was assessed using Spearman correlation analysis. In vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of overexpressing or downregulating SMS on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and key proteins in the protein kinase B (AKT)/epithelialmesenchymal transition signaling pathway. 
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			: The study revealed a significant upregulation of SMS expression in LGGs compared to normal brain tissues. High SMS expression was associated with certain clinical and pathological features, including older age, astrocytoma, higher World Health Organization grade, poor disease-specific survival, disease progression, non-1p/19q codeletion, and wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase. Cox regression analysis identified SMS as a risk factor for overall survival. Bioinformatics analysis showed enrichment of eosinophils, T cells, and macrophages in LGG samples, while proportions of dendritic (DC) cells, plasmacytoid DC (pDC) cells, and CD8+ T cells were decreased. 
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			: High SMS expression in LGGs may promote tumor occurrence through cellular proliferation and modulation of immune cell infiltration. These findings suggest the prognostic value of SMS in predicting clinical outcomes for LGG patients.

		                        			ObjectiveTo observe the antidepressant effect of Chaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid on the rat model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and explore the mechanism from the histomorphology of frontal cortex, expression of key molecules in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) signaling pathway, and changes in monoamine neurotransmitter levels. MethodsSixty adult male SD rats were randomized into six groups (n=10): blank control, depression model, Chaihu Shugansan (3.3 g·kg-1·d-1), ferulic acid (50 mg·kg-1·d-1), Chaihu Shugansan (3.3 g·kg-1·d-1) + ferulic acid (50 mg·kg-1·d-1), and fluoxetine (2.1 mg·kg-1·d-1). Rats in other groups except the blank control group were subjected to a mild chronic unpredictable stress stimulus every day. Seven stimuli were used, including fasting with free access to water for 24 h, water deprivation with free access to food for 24 h, wetting the bedding with water in the cage, restraint for 3 h, tail clamping for 1 min, swimming in ice water at 4 ℃, and day and night reversal. Each stimulus was used 1 to 3 times, and the modeling lasted for a total of 21 days. At the same time of stimulation, rats in each medication group were treated with corresponding agents by gavage, while those in the blank control group and the depression model group received equal volumes of normal saline by gavage. The open field test, sucrose preference test, and forced swimming test were conducted before and after modeling. The rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 3% pentobarbital sodium, and the frontal cortex was isolated on ice. The mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) in the frontal cortex were determined by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot, respectively. The levels of monoamine neurotransmitters 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA), and norepinephrine (NE) in the frontal cortex were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Light microscopy was employed to observe the histopathological changes in the frontal cortex. ResultsCompared with the blank control group, the depression model group showed reduced body mass (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased number of crossings and rearings in the open field test and sucrose preference (P<0.01), prolonged time of immobility in the forced swimming test (P<0.01), reduced neuronal cells, increased necrotic cells, and darkening cell staining in the frontal cortex, down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB, CREB, and lowered levels of 5-HT, NE, and DA in the frontal cortex (P<0.01). Compared with the depression model group, each intervention group showed improved general state, increased body mass (P<0.05), increased number of crossings (P<0.05), shortened immobility time in the forced swimming test (P<0.01), increased neuronal cells, reduced necrotic cells, and lightened cellular staining in the frontal cortex, up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB and CREB, and elevated levels of 5-HT, NE, and DA in the frontal cortex (P<0.01). Moreover, the Chaihu Shugansan + ferulic acid group outperformed the Chaihu Shugansan group and the ferulic acid group in increasing the body mass and the 5-HT content in the frontal cortex (P<0.05). The combination group outperformed the Chaihu Shugansan group regarding the number of rearings and up-regulation in the mRNA level of BDNF in the frontal cortex (P<0.05), and it was superior to the ferulic acid group in terms of shortening the immobility time in the forced swimming test, up-regulating the mRNA levels of BDNF, TrkB, and CREB and the protein levels of BDNF and CREB in the frontal cortex, and increasing the DA content in the frontal cortex (P<0.05). ConclusionChaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid can exert antidepressant effect on the rat model of CUMS by regulating the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway and monoamine neurotransmitter content in the frontal cortex. Moreover, the antidepressant effect of Chaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid was more significant than that of Chaihu Shugansan and ferulic acid used alone.

		                        			Objective To analyze the prevalence status of cardiometabolic risk factor (CMRF) and its aggregation among workers engaged in new forms of employment. Methods A total of 5 429 new employment workers (including couriers, online food delivery workers, and ride hailing drivers) who underwent health medical examinations at a tertiary hospital in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. Data on waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels were collected to analyze their CMRF [central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] and their aggregation (with ≥ 2 of the above 5 risk factors) status. Results The detection rates of central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced HDL-C were 61.2%, 38.2%, 29.5%, 40.9% and 22.6%, respectively. The detection rates of CMRF aggregation was 57.8%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that male, age ≥45 years, smoking, overweight, and obesity were risk factors for CMRF aggregation (all P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of CMRF and its aggregation among workers with new forms of employment in Beijing City is relatively high. Targeted prevention and control efforts should be strengthened for high-risk populations, especially males, workers aged ≥45 years, smokers, and those who are overweight or obese.

		                        			This paper summarizes the clinical experience in applying jiao (角) medicine to treat diabetes mellitus from the perspective of qi, blood, and fluids. It is believed that impaired spleen transportation and transformation is the key pathomechanism of diabetes, leading to metabolic disturbances in qi, blood, and fluids, and resulting in a sequential pathological progression of "qi → thick fluids → thin fluids → blood". At the qi level, the disease is mainly characterized by spleen qi deficiency and stagnation, and is commonly treated with Hongshen (Panax Ginseng), Huangqi (Astragalus Mongholicus), and Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala) to tonify the spleen and regulate qi. At the thick fluids level, the condition manifests as abdominal distension, internal heat, and turbid pathogens, requiring Zexie (Alisma Orientale), Huanglian (Coptis Chinensis), and Dahuang (Rheum Palmatum) to clear the spleen and drain turbidity. At the thin fluids level, with qi and yin deficiency and predominant yin damage, Gegen (Pueraria Lobata), Wuweizi (Schisandra Chinensis), and Maidong (Ophiopogon Japonicus) are used to nourish yin and generate fluids. At the blood level, where vascular damage is predominant, Shuizhifen (Whitmania Pigra Powder), Danshen (Salvia Miltiorrhiza), and Sanqifen (Panax Notoginseng Powder) are applied to activate blood circulation, resolve stasis, and unblock the channels. Clinicians may flexibly select appropriate jiao medicine based on the specific pathological layer affected in each patient.

		                        			Objective To compare the setup errors between abdominal deep inspiration breath hold (ADIBH) guided by real-time position management (RPM) and free breathing (FB) for breast cancer patients who were treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) after breast-conserving surgery. Methods The data of 60 patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer and completed IMRT were analyzed retrospectively. Of these patients, 30 received ADIBH technique guided by RPM and 30 received FB technique. Setup errors in translational (X, Y, Z) and rotational (Rx, Ry, Rz) directions were assessed by comparing planning CT and cone-beam CT (CBCT) images for both patient groups. Results Compared with FB group (232 sets of CBCT images), ADIBH (261 sets of CBCT images) significantly reduced setup errors in the translational directions (X, Z) and rotational directions (Rx, Ry, and Rz) (Z values were 3.14, 2.42, 1.45, 1.93, 1.37, respectively; all P<0.05). In the ADIBH group, the difference in setup errors between the patients with BMI <24 kg/m2 and those with BMI ≥24 kg/m2 was not statistically significantly different (P≥0.05); no significant change in setup errors was detected when comparing the first treatment week with subsequent radiotherapy fractions (P≥0.05). The rotation error in the Ry direction was greater in the first treatment week than subsequent radiotherapy fractions in the FB group (Z=8.02, P=0.02). Conclusion In left-sided breast cancer patients receiving postoperative IMRT, the ADIBH technique demonstrates significantly smaller setup errors compared to FB technique, independent of BMI, thereby improving radiotherapy precision.
