Objective: To explore the longitudinal associations between dietary macronutrients and lung function in schoolaged children, so as to provide the nutritional research evidence for promoting children s lung health. Methods: In November 2021, two primary schools located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province were selected from the Southwest China Childhood Nutrition and Growth (SCCNG) cohort by a stratified cluster random sampling method, enrolling a total of 1 112 school aged children aged 8 to 13 years. At baseline, the dietary and sociodemographic characteristics of the children were assessed. One year later, the forced vital capacity (FVC) of the children was measured and converted into Z scores (FVC- Z ), while the vital capacity index (VCI) was also calculated. Generalized linear regression analysis was employed to examine the associations between dietary macronutrients and lung function, considering interactions with gender and age, followed by stratified analysis. Results: After adjusting for confounding factors, the analysis results of the generalized linear regression model showed that the carbohydrate energy ratio was negatively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =-0.02) and VCI ( β =-0.16), while the fat energy ratio showed a positive correlation with FVC- Z ( β =0.03) and VCI ( β =0.23) ( P <0.05). The protein energy ratio was positively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =0.09) and VCI ( β =0.60) specifically in girls ( P <0.05). Additionally, there was an interaction effect of age on the associations between macronutrients and lung function ( P <0.01); in children aged 8-9 and 10-11, the carbohydrate energy supply ratio was negatively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =-0.04, -0.03) and VCI ( β =-0.29, -0.21), and fat energy supply ratio was positively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =0.07, 0.05) and VCI ( β =0.46, 0.32) ( P <0.05). Conclusions There are age and sex differences in the association of dietary macronutrients with lung function, with a low carbohydrate, high fat diet promoting lung function in children. Additionally, protein intake appears to have a positive influence on the lung function of girls. The early school age period may represent a critical window for dietary interventions aimed at promoting lung health.

Objective: To investigate the prospective effects of intake of each food group on the development of lung function of pupils,so as to provide theoretical basis for promoting the healthy development of lung function and preventing chronic respiratory diseases in Chinese children. Methods: A cluster stratified sampling method was used to select a total of 893 pupils in grades 2-5 from Chengdu in November 2021. Dietary data of respondents were collected using a food frequency questionnaire within the past year,then the food group intake was categorized into T1, T2 and T3 from low to high by the trichotomous method, and anthropometric measurements including lung capacity were obtained in 2022. Logistic regression models and test for trend were used to analyze the prospective effects of intake of each food group on lung function development of pupils. Results: Among male students, consumption of vegetables [118.6(50.5, 188.2)g/d] and milk and dairy products [200.0(73.3, 250.0)g/d] were higher in the excellent lung capacity group than in the non excellent lung capacity group [90.0(37.1, 192.9), and 178.6(35.7, 250.0)g/d],with statistically significant differences ( Z =-1.98, -2.24); among girls, the group with excellent lung capacity consumed less staple food [391.1(273.6, 511.4)g/d] than the group with non excellent lung capacity [407.4(309.5, 594.3)g/d], and the group with excellent lung capacity consumed more aquatic products [31.2(14.6, 69.8)g/d] and milk and dairy products [215.0(107.1, 250.1) g/d ] than that of the non excellent lung capacity [19.4(10.7, 58.3), 114.3(35.7, 250.0)g/d] ( Z =-2.01, -3.33, -5.10)( P < 0.05 ). After adjusting for energy, body mass index Z score(BMI Z ), mother s education level, averge family income monthly, whether presence of smokers in the living environment, and whether participation in physical activities during the past week, among male students, T3 group of vegetable intake ( OR =0.48, 95% CI = 0.27-0.86), T2 group of bean and soy product intake ( OR = 0.52 , 95% CI =0.27-0.96)，T2 and T3 groups of milk and dairy products intake (T2： OR =0.54, 95% CI =0.31-0.93; T3： OR = 0.52 , 95% CI =0.30-0.90) were negatively associated with non excellent lung capacity ( P <0.05). Among girls, T3 group of aquatic product intake( OR =0.52, 95% CI =0.28-0.97), T2 and T3 groups of milk and dairy product (T2: OR =0.44, 95% CI =0.25- 0.76 ;T3: OR =0.33, 95% CI =0.19-0.59) were negatively associated with nonexcellent lung capacity, whereas the T2 group of red meat intake ( OR =2.51, 95% CI =1.37-4.67) was positively associated with non excellent lung capacity. Non excellent lung capacity was found to be negatively associated with vegetable and milk and dairy product intake in boys by test for trend; in girls, milk and dairy products intake was negatively associated with non excellent lung capacity, whereas red meat intake was positively associated with non excellent lung capacity ( t =-1.13，-0.44；-3.03，1.95, P trend <0.05). Conclusions Milk and dariy products intakes reduce the risk of non excellent lung capacity in pupils, vegetables intakes reduce the risk of non excellent lung capacity in boys, and the intake of red meat increases the risk of non excellent lung capacity in girls. Promoting rational food choices is necessary for children to improve healthy lung development.

Objective: To explore the differences in the gut microbiota of primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage intake, so as to provide scientific evidence for better identification of health risks in children and the development of targeted health policies. Methods: In June 2022, a total of 192 healthy primary school students from Chengdu were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The sugar sweetened beverage intake was assessed through a dietary frequency questionnaire. Based on the median daily sugar sweetened beverage intake, primary school students were categorized into a low intake group ( n =96) and a high intake group ( n =96). The gut microbiota in fresh fecal samples from the two groups of primary school students was analyzed using 16S rRNA high throughput sequencing, and the diversity and community structure differences in the gut microbiota were compared. Results: Children in the low intake group had a sugar sweetened beverage intake of (21.3±1.6) mL/d, while the high intake group had an intake of (269.6±37.3) mL/d. Diversity analysis results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the low intake and the high intake group in terms of α diversity metrics: Observed_otus index [298.50 (259.75, 342.25), 305.50 (244.25, 367.75)], Goods_coverage index [1.00 (1.00, 1.00), 1.00 (1.00, 1.00)], Chao index [304.18 (260.75, 348.78), 305.88 (245.68, 370.88)], Shannon index [5.88 (5.29, 6.45), 5.71 (4.89, 6.28)] and Simpson index [0.95 (0.91, 0.97), 0.94 (0.88, 0.97)] ( Z =-0.64, -0.76, -0.54, -1.76, -1.67, P >0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was observed in β diversity between the two groups ( R 2=0.006, P >0.05). At the genus level, the abundance of Blautia [0.033 (0.018, 0.055)] and Fusicatenibacter [0.009 (0.005, 0.015)] were higher in the low intake group compared to the high intake group [0.024 (0.013, 0.041),0.006 (0.003, 0.011)]and differences were statistically significant ( Z =-2.52, -2.81, P <0.05). LEfSe analysis highlighted intergroup differences primarily in Blautia, Fusicatenibacter and Sarcina( LDA= 3.56,3.12,3.53, P <0.05). Conclusions There is no significant difference in the diversity and overall structure of the gut microbiota in primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage intake. However, there are species variations at the genus level. The information can serve as a scientific basis for identifying health risks in primary school students and formulating targeted health strategies.

Objective:To comprehensively understand the basic situation of critical care medicine in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in order to promote the standardization, specialization, and systematization of quality control in critical care medicine.Methods:A survey was conducted from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021, using a questionnaire to investigate the human resources and basic allocation of comprehensive intensive care medicine departments in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps division level hospitals and surrounding second-class hospitals. The survey content includes: basic situation of medical units, intensive care unit (ICU) basic information, ICU personnel situation, ICU equipment configuration situation, ICU performance situation, etc. The survey questionnaire was distributed in March 2022, with dedicated ICU attending physicians or above designated by each ICU as the contact person for the survey.Results:Sixteen questionnaires were distributed and returned, all of which were included from 16 comprehensive intensive care medicine departments in the Corps and surrounding areas, including 5 second class first class hospitals and 11 third class first class hospitals. There were 196 beds in 16 ICU units, and the ICU bed ratio (1.99% overall, 1.77% in third class first class hospitals) was lower than the 2%-8% stipulated in the Guidelines for the Construction and Management of Critical Care Medicine (Trial) issued by the National Health Commission. Only ICU beds in second class first class hospitals accounted for 2.65%, meeting this standard. The comprehensive ICU doctor-bed ratio in 16 hospitals was 0.55∶1, third class first class hospitals was 0.60∶1, and second class first class hospitals was 0.44∶1, compared with 0.8∶1 stipulated in the ministerial guidelines, there was a certain gap. Among the 108 doctors in 16 ICUs, only four have a master's degree or above. Associate senior and above professional and technical titles accounted for 27.78%, less than one third. Among the 334 nursing staff, there were no personnel with a master's degree or above, and only 10 personnel with associate senior or above professional and technical titles. From 2019 to 2021, there was 1 new master's degree personnel, 2 new senior professional and technical personnel, and 12 deputy senior professional and technical personnel. It indicating that the proportion of highly educated and experienced physicians and nurses were lower, team building lags behind, talent introduction were lower, and highly educated talents were scarce. The statistical analysis results of the absolute growth of core technology showed that the growth of core technology was slow, the progressiveness was insufficient, and the professional technical ability was insufficient. Conclusions:The construction of critical care majors and talent echelons in the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps region is lagging behind, the overall professional level of the discipline is not high, and there is a lack of specialized personnel. Further improvement is needed in talent cultivation, technical development and training, medical quality management, and other aspects to ensure medical quality and safety.

As research delves deeper into the mechanisms of tumor immune responses,studies reveal the importance of microbial com-munities within the tumor microenvironment in tumor progression and their interactions with the host immune system.Intratumoral micro-biota could influence the tumor microenvironment,thereby promoting or inhibiting tumor growth and development.Despite this import-ance,the specific role of intratumoral microbiota impacting cancer immunotherapeutic efficacy remains largely unexplored.A deeper under-standing of the characteristics and biological functions of tumor-specific microbiota heralds a potential revolutionary innovation in cancer treatment.In this review,we introduce the discovery and sources of intratumoral microbiota,also addressing its composition,and discuss tumor tissue characteristics.Moreover,we briefly review the history of cancer immunotherapy development with a particular focus on the research progress concerning the impact of intratumoral microbiota on cancer immunotherapy.Furthermore,we explore emerging strategies that combine targeting intratumoral microbiota with immunotherapy to enhance immune efficacy,inhibit tumor progression,and improve cure rates,anticipating that this approach could represent a new direction for enhancing treatment outcomes and prospects.

The integration of regional medical centers and community health service centers is an effective way to improve the professional ability of general practitioners in post-practice training. Its major advantage lies in the establishment of a regional general practitioner ability improvement system integrating assessment, practice and teaching under the unified health administrative department. This article introduces the path of general practitioner post-training developed by Shanghai Tongren Hospital in forms of a regional medical center combined with the community health service center under the "integrated dual-drives" model, which was carried out in Shanghai Changning District; and its preliminary accomplishment is also discussed. It may provide reference for regional medical centers to improve the ability of general practitioners through practice-driven and teaching-driven.

Objective:To analyze the clinical knowledge and training needs of general practitioners from subjective perception and objective assessment, and to analyze their relationship.Methods:A survey was conducted among general practitioners from community health service centers in Shanghai Changning district from September to December 2020. Based on the general practitioner competency indicator system designed by the project team, 17 clinical knowledge competency evaluation indicators were developed through expert consultation, and used for subjective perception and objective assessment of clinical knowledge and learning needs among general practitioners. The influencing factors of objective assessment scores were analyzed, and the relationship between subjective perception and objective assessment scores was analyzed using the four quadrant method.Results:A total of 136 general practitioners participated in the study with the mean age of (39.25±5.90) years, most of whom were attending physician (67.65%, 92/136) and had undergraduate education (88.20%, 122/136). The average daily application frequency score was (1.55±0.21), and the training needs score was (1.65±0.09) for 17 clinical knowledge items; the average objective evaluation score was (74.21±14.0) points. The older the age ( OR=1.25, 95% CI:1.14-1.37), the higher the educational level ( OR=2.11, 95% CI:1.57-2.83), and the longer the working years ( OR=1.16, 95% CI:1.04-1.30) were significantly correlated with the higher objective evaluation scores (all P<0.05). The objective evaluation scores of endocrine diseases such as diabetes, cerebrovascular diseases and respiratory diseases are the highest, and the daily application frequency and learning needs are high (the first quadrant); The objective evaluation scores of common orthopedic diseases, common psychological diseases, and planned immunity indicators were relatively low, but their daily application frequency and learning needs were relatively high (second quadrant). The objective evaluation scores of indicators such as common malignant tumors, common dermatology diseases and health problems, and common ENT diseases were low, and the daily application frequency and learning needs were also low (the third quadrant). The objective evaluation scores of indicators such as hospice and palliative care are relatively high, but their daily application frequency and training needs are relatively low (listed in the fourth quadrant). Conclusions:The clinical knowledge levels of general practitioners are correlated with age, education level, and years of practice. There is a certain overlap between the objective evaluation results of clinical knowledge and the frequency of knowledge usage and training needs of general practitioners, and a targeted training mechanism should be established.

Objective:To construct an evaluation scale for post competence of family doctors based on knowledge-skill-management model.Methods:The evaluation dimensions and indicators for post competency of family doctors were preliminarily developed through literature review, internal group meeting and brainstorming, and in-depth interviews of experts. And 16 experts in the fields of general practice and health management were invited for 2 rounds of Delphi consultation from December 2020 to April 2021. A competency evaluation scale for family doctors based on the dimensions of knowledge, skills and management was finally constructed.Results:The age of the experts was (47.9±7.3) years with a working experience of (24.6±7.8) years. The Cronbach′s α of the questionnaires was 0.891 and the KMO was 0.844. The positive coefficients for 2 rounds of expert consultation were 100%; the familiarity level of experts was 0.86 and authority level was 0.89 in the first round consultation, and those were 0.84 and 0.90 in the second round consultation. After 2 rounds of consultation, the coordination coefficient of expert opinions in the knowledge and skill dimensions was>0.5, and that in the management dimension and overall evaluation system was>0.3. After discussion 2 indicators were deleted in the first round of consultation. The finally constructed family doctor post competency evaluation scale included 3 dimensions, 8 secondary indicators and 61 tertiary indicators. Conclusion:Through the Delphi consultation, we have successfully constructed an evaluation scale for post competence of family doctors based on the three dimensions of knowledge, skills and management.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of synovial fluid calprotectin for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).Methods:Based on prospective cohort study design, a total of 82 patients suspected of PJI after hip and knee arthroplasty in the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from July 2021 to June 2022 were selected. Patients were divided into infection group (PJI, n=39) and non-infection group (non-PJI, n=43) according to the diagnostic criteria proposed by the Second International Consensus Conference in 2018. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used for double-blind detection of calprotectin and internal reference standard (IRS) in synovial fluid of patients. The peaks of target protein and IRS were recorded for further analysis. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the concentrations of S100A8 and S100A9 between the two groups, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of S100A8 and S100A9 for PJI. Results:Calprotectin was detected as monomers S100A8 and S100A9. Synovial fluid S100A8 was significantly higher in the PJI group than that in the non-PJI group [1.57 (0.48, 4.17) vs 0.00 (0.00, 0.05), Z=?7.221, P<0.05]. Synovial fluid S100A9 was also significantly higher in the PJI group than that in the non-PJI group [0.74 (0.29, 1.70) vs 0.06 (0.00, 0.10), Z=?6.255, P<0.05]. When using S100A8 and S100A9 to diagnose PJI, the sensitivity were 97.4% and 87.2%, the specificity were 86.0% and 88.4%, and the area under the ROC were 0.964 (95% CI 0.929-0.998) and 0.902 (95% CI 0.924-0.996), respectively. Conclusion:The detection of synovial fluid S100A8 and S100A9 by MALDI-TOF MS can make a satisfactory diagnosis for PJI.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and risk factors of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome(CPFE)in the elderly.Methods:42 patients with CPFE and 83 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)admitted to Beijing Hospital from January 2015 to January 2020 were included for this retrospective study, and their clinical data, laboratory test results, imaging, pulmonary function and treatment outcomes were compared.The correlations of diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide(DLCO)with lung volume and other ventilation-related parameters were analyzed.Multivariate Logistic analysis was used to screen for risk factors.Results:Compared with the IPF group, the proportions of patients who were male(78.6% or 33/42 vs.50.6% or 42/83), were smokers(78.6% or 33/42 vs.45.8% or 38/83)and had allergies(23.8% or 10/42 vs.4.8% or 4/83)were significantly higher in the CPFE group( χ2=9.090, 12.219, 8.293, P=0.003, 0.000, 0.004, respectively). Eosinophil counts were significantly higher in the CPFE group than in the other group[0.17×10 9/L with a(0.12-0.25)×10 9/L range vs.0.10×10 9/L with a(0.03-0.21)×10 9/L range]. In terms of pulmonary function tests, patients with CPFE had higher levels of vital capacity(VC)[2.60 L, range: (2.18-3.08)L vs.1.99 L, range: (1.48-2.63)L], total lung capacity(TLC)[4.54 L, range: (3.89-5.45)L vs.3.74 L, range: (2.92-4.70)L], forced vital capacity(FVC)[2.46 L, range: (2.12-3.08)L vs.1.95 L, range: (1.43-2.58)L], and forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1)/FVC%[84.18%, range: (75.59-88.83)% vs.80.94%, range: (69.07-83.08)%], with significant differences from patients in the IPF group( Z=2.032, 2.248, 2.357, 2.421, 3.102, P=0.042, 0.025, 0.018, 0.015, 0.002). Positive correlations of DLCO were found with residual volume of the predicted(RV%pred), vital capacity of the predicted(VC%pred), alveolar ventilation of the predicted(VA%pred), total lung capacity of the predicted(TLC%pred), forced vital capacity of the predicted(FVC%pred), and percentage of forced expiratory volume in first second as predicted(FEV1%pred)in the IPF group( r=0.422, 0.370, 0.473, 0.520, 0.356, 0.267, P=0.000, 0.002, 0.000, 0.000, 0.003, 0.029), but not in the CPFE group.According to multivariate Logistic regression analysis, smoking( OR=5.421, 95% CI: 1.458-20.154, P=0.012)and allergies( OR=7.458, 95% CI: 1.795-30.979, P=0.006)were independent predictors of CPFE. Conclusions:The eosinophil count and lung volume in elderly CPFE patients are higher than those in IPF patients, and the significant feature is the decrease of DLCO, which is not correlated with changes in lung ventilation parameters and lung volume.Smoking and allergies are risk factors for CPFE in the elderly.
