Objective:
To examine the mediating effect of positive coping style on health literacy and lifestyle among medical students, so as to provide the reference for health education and health promotion among medical students in universities.
Methods:
Medical students of six full-time medical colleges in Guizhou Province were sampled using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method from April to June 2023, and their gender, age and educational level were investigated by questionnaires. The College Students' Healthy Lifestyle Scale, the Health Literacy Questionnaire and the Simplified Coping Style Scale were used to evaluate lifestyle, health literacy and coping style of students. The Process program was used to analyze the mediating effect of positive coping style on health literacy and lifestyle, and Bootstrap method was used to examine the significance of the mediating effect.
Results:
A total of 9 266 peoples were investigated, including 3 177 males (34.29%) and 6 089 females (65.71%), and had a mean age of (21.06±2.61) years. There were 2 775 junior college students (29.95%), 4 864 undergraduates (52.49%) and 1 627 master students (17.56%). The scores of lifestyle, health literacy and positive coping style among medical students were 118.34±19.06, 54.57±10.81 and 2.81±0.68, respectively. Health literacy had a direct positive effect on lifestyle (effect value=0.286, 95%CI: 0.257-0.316) and a indirect positive effect on lifestyle through positive coping style (effect value=0.215, 95%CI: 0.193-0.236), and the mediating effect contributed 42.91% to the total effect.
Conclusion
Health literacy could improve lifestyle indirectly through positive coping style among medical students.

Microglial surveillance plays an essential role in clearing misfolded proteins such as amyloid-beta, tau, and α-synuclein aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases. However, due to the complex structure and ambiguous pathogenic species of the misfolded proteins, a universal approach to remove the misfolded proteins remains unavailable. Here, we found that a polyphenol, α-mangostin, reprogrammed metabolism in the disease-associated microglia through shifting glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation, which holistically rejuvenated microglial surveillance capacity to enhance microglial phagocytosis and autophagy-mediated degradation of multiple misfolded proteins. Nanoformulation of α-mangostin efficiently delivered α-mangostin to microglia, relieved the reactive status and rejuvenated the misfolded-proteins clearance capacity of microglia, which thus impressively relieved the neuropathological changes in both Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease model mice. These findings provide direct evidences for the concept of rejuvenating microglial surveillance of multiple misfolded proteins through metabolic reprogramming, and demonstrate nanoformulated α-mangostin as a potential and universal therapy against neurodegenerative diseases.

Objective: To describe the CT features and clinical characteristics of pediatric patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Method: A total of 9 COVID-19 infected pediatric patients were included in this study.Clinical history,laboratory examination,and detailed CT imaging features were analyzed.All patients underwent the first CT scanning on the same day of being diagnosed by realtime reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR).A low-dose CT scan was performed during follow-up.Results: All the child patients had positive results.Four patients had cough and one patient had fever.One patient presented both cough and fever.Two children presented other symptoms like sore throat and stuffy nose.One child showed no clinical symptom.Five patients had positive initial CT findings with subtle lesions like ground-glass opacity (GGO) or spot-like mixed consolidation.Three patients were reported with negative results in the initial and follow-up CT examination.One patient was reported with initial negative CT findings but turning positive during the first follow-up.All patients had absorbed lesions on follow-up CT images after treatment.Conclusion: Pediatric COVID-19 patients have certain imaging and clinical features as well as disease prognosis.Children with COVID-19 tend to have normal or subtle CT findings and relatively better outcome.

Objective To investigate the MRI manifestations of secondary toxoplasmosis encephalitis in HIV patients and summarize the characteristics of MRI changes.Methods MRI images of 3 5 HIV patients with secondary toxoplasmosis encephalitis were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of 35 patients,27 showed multiple lesions and 8 showed single lesion.Lesions mainly involved the brain gray matter j unction or basal ganglia.MRI showed lamellar,nodular or round lesions,which showed low signal on T1WI,and slightly higher and unevenly high signal on T2WI.Irregular liquid signal or nodular slightly lower signal was showed on T2WI in 14 cases,and short T1signal was showed in 15 cases.Circular lesions could be seen"cattle eye"in 18 cases.For 11 cases of enhanced scan of a single lesion,a ring enhancement was displayed,and coexistence of patchy,nodular and annular enhancement were showed in multiple lesions,in which parts of the multi-circular enhancemens were clustered.Conclusion MRI manifestations of HIV patients with secondary toxoplasmosis encephalitis show primarily multiple lesions on the gray matter j unction or basal ganglia.The lesions show high signal on T1WI and"cattle eye"on T2WI,and existence of flaky,nodular and ring enhanced lesion or clustered enhancement are showed on enhanced imaging,which is of a certain specificity.

Background:The occurrence of gastric cancer is a gradual process with multiple factors and multiple steps. In addition to cytological and structural abnormalities,there are abnormal molecular expressions,which involve the activation of many oncogenes and the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Aims:To explore the expressions and significance of Ki-67,p53 and P504s in normal gastric mucosa,atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia,low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia,high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and early gastric cancer. Methods:A total of 44 cases of normal gastric mucosa,44 cases of atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia,41 cases of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia,38 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and 35 cases of early gastric cancer from Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2016 at the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were collected. Expressions of Ki-67,p53 and P504s were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results:Compared with normal gastric mucosal tissue,the positivity rates of expression of Ki-67,p53 and P504s in atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia,low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia,high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and early gastric cancer were obviously increased (P<0.05). With the increasing of severity of the lesion,the positivity rate gradually increased. Conclusions:The expressions of Ki-67,p53 and P504s are closely related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer,and are involved in the early process of gastric cancer. The detections of these molecular markers are helpful for determining the severity and trend of the lesion,and beneficial for improving the detection rates of gastric precancerous lesion and early gastric cancer.

Objective To compare differences among measured rest energy expenditure (REE) by using indirect calorimetry (IC) and predictive REE from predictive equations (PE) and human body component analyzer (HBCA).Methods Young and middle-aged healthy volunteers of light manual labor were recruited in this study.REEs were obtained from IC,PE (WHO-Schofield and Harris-Benedict equations) and HBCA.Results A total of 30 healthy participants were included,of whom 12 were males (25-46 years old) with an average age of (37.8±7.4) and 18 were females (26-52 years old) with an average age of (40.4±7.8).Measured REE of the males was (1 848.33± 155.01) kcal/d,which was significantly different from the predictive REE result of H-B equation (P=0.003) but not from results of WHO-Schofield equation and HBCA.In females,however,measured REE was (1 294.44± 134.23) kcal/d,which was significantly different from predictive REE results of both equations and HBCA,P=0.002 (WHO-Schofield),P=0.031 (H-B) and P=0.002 (HBCA).Results of measured REE were related to weight (P=0.033) and percentage of body fat (P=0.036) in males,and to height and muscle mass (P=0.003) in females.Conclusion In young and middle-aged healthy females of light manual labor,IC represented a more accurate way to measure REE,while in males WHO-Schofield equation and HBCA could be considered as alternative choices to predict REE.
