Objective:
To understand the hydration status and related factors of rural boarding primary school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for drinking water health intervention for primary school students.
Methods:
In November 2023, a convenience sampling approach was employed to conduct a hydration status survey among 144 boarding students in grades 5 and 6 of a rural primary school in Guangxi. The Duplicate meal method and weighing method were utilized to measure the food derived water intake over three consecutive days. Urine osmolarity of students was measured on site for three days, and a simple physical examination was also carried out. A self administered questionnaire was used to investigate students drinking water literacy, daily water intake, and physical activity levels. Meanwhile, a drinking water literacy survey was conducted among 21 substitute teachers and 144 parents of the boarding students in grades 5 and 6. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with students hydration status.
Results:
The median daily total water intake of students was 2 043.55 mL, and 54.86% of the students did not reach the recommended Adequate Intake (AI). The median food derived water intake was 1 149.24 mL, accounting for 53.94% of the total water intake. Univariate analysis revealed that the daily drinking frequency, daily water intake, and food derived water intake of students were related factors of hydration status ( β =-1.60, -1.01, -0.00, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that primary school students with a daily drinking frequency of ≥7 times were more likely to maintain an adequate hydration status ( OR =0.28, 95% CI =0.09-0.93, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The water intake from food is the main source of water in the body for boarding primary school students in a certain rural school in Guangxi. Primary school students should increase their water intake frequency appropriately to maintain an adequate hydration status.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of Xielitang on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice and its possible mechanism. MethodsDSS was used to establish UC model. Sixty mice were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a sulfasalazine group (0.6 g·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose Xielitang groups (1.67, 3.34, 6.68 g·kg-1). After treatment for 42 d, the colon length was recorded, and the disease activity index (DAI) score was calculated. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathomorphological changes of colon. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), small heterodimer partner (SHP), liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1), cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), and fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) in liver and FXR, sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT), and fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15) in ileum. 16S rRNA sequencing was used to analyze the intestinal flora. Moreover, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect the bile acid content. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showed significantly decreased colon length, IL-10 content, α-diversity index, abundance of Firmicutes and Lactobacillus, and content of deoxycholic acid (DCA) and lithocholic acid (LCA) (P<0.01), significantly increased DAI score, IL-6 and TNF-α content, abundance of Bacteroidetes, and the content of cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), and taurocholic acid (TCA) (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly down-regulated protein expression of FXR, SHP, and FGFR4 in liver and FXR, ASBT, and FGF15 in ileum (P<0.01), and significantly up-regulated protein expression of LRH-1 and CYP7A1 in liver (P<0.01). In addition, the structure of colonic mucosa was destroyed, and inflammatory cells infiltrated in the model group. Compared with the model group, Xielitang could significantly increase the colon length, IL-10 content, α-diversity index, the abundance of Firmicutes and Lactobacillus, and DCA and LCA content (P<0.05, P<0.01), decrease DAI score, abundance of Bacteroidetes, and the content of IL-6, TNF-α, CA, CDCA, and TCA (P<0.01), up-regulate the protein expression of FXR, SHP, and FGFR4 in liver and FXR, ASBT, and FGF15 in ileum (P<0.01), and down-regulate the protein expression of LRH-1 and CYP7A1 in liver (P<0.01). The pathological damage of colonic mucosa was obviously alleviated. ConclusionXielitang protects against UC probably by regulating the "intestinal microbiota-bile acid" axis, regulating intestinal flora imbalance, and maintaining bile acid homeostasis.

Objective:
To investigate the current status of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding drinking water among primary school students in rural areas of China, so as to provide scientific basis for implementing health interventions related to drinking water.
Methods:
From November to December 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 6 354 fourth to sixth grade primary school students in Shanxi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Gansu for a questionnaire survey. A uniformly designed questionnaire (including basic information, drinking water-related knowledge, attitudes and practices indicators) was distributed and completed by the students themselves. The χ 2 test was used to analyze the differences in drinking water-related indicators among students of different gender and boarder, and Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of drinking water practices among students.
Results:
Among the indicators of drinking water knowledge, the awareness rate of appropriate daily water intake for respective student age groups was the lowest (27.90%). The awareness rate among nonresident students was significantly higher than that among boarding students (31.29%, 15.49%, χ 2=132.75, P <0.01). Regarding attitudes toward drinking water, 13.33% of the students believed that well water or tap water could be drunk directly, and 9.58% believed that going to the toilet at school was troublesome. Regarding practices, the self-reported water intake among students was 1 000 (600, 1 200) mL. The results of multifactorial Logistic regression showed that higher grades ( OR=1.60, 95%CI =1.34-1.92), nonresident students ( OR=1.32, 95%CI = 1.15 -1.52), northern region ( OR=1.43, 95%CI =1.27-1.61), knowledge of appropriate daily water intake ( OR=1.41, 95%CI =1.24-1.60), drinking temperature ( OR=1.43, 95%CI =1.28-1.60), scientific hydration methods ( OR=1.25, 95%CI =1.08- 1.44 ), and adopting scientific hydration methods regularly ( OR=1.75, 95%CI =1.50-2.04) were the independent influences on daily water intake attainment ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Rural primary school students lack knowledge about healthy drinking water, have cognitive biases about safe drinking water and exhibit unhealthy drinking behavior. It is suggested that health education be carried out in combination with the characteristics of students to enhance their drinking water literacy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan on ferroptosis in the rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and explore the underlying mechanism based on the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway. MethodsThe sixty SD rats were randomly grouped as follows: control, model, Yishanfu (0.144 g·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.44, 4.88, and 9.76 g·kg-1, respectively) Danggui Shaoyaosan. A high-fat diet was used to establish the rat model of NAFLD. After 12 weeks of modeling, rats were treated with corresponding agents for 4 weeks. Then, the body weight and liver weight were measured, and the liver index was calculated. At the same time, serum and liver samples were collected. The levels or activities of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and Fe2+ in the serum and TC, TG, free fatty acids (FFA), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and Fe2+ in the liver were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and oil red O staining were employed to observe the pathological changes in the liver. Immunofluorescence was used to assess the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in the liver. Mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, GPX4, transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), and divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) in the liver were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed increases in the body weight, liver weight, liver index, levels or activities of TC, TG, ALT, AST, and Fe2+ in the serum, levels of TC, TG, FFA, MDA, Fe2+, and ROS in the liver, and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver (P<0.01), and decreases in the activities of SOD, GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the liver (P<0.05, P<0.01). Meanwhile, the liver tissue in the model group presented steatosis, iron deposition, mitochondrial shrinkage, and blurred or swollen mitochondrial cristae. Compared with the model group, all doses of Danggui Shaoyaosan reduced the body weight, liver weight, liver index, levels or activities of TC, TG, ALT, AST, and Fe2+ in the serum, levels of TC, TG, FFA, MDA, Fe2+, and ROS in the liver, and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver (P<0.01), while increasing the activities of SOD and GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the liver (P<0.01). Furthermore, Danggui Shaoyaosan alleviated steatosis, iron deposition, and mitochondrial damage in the liver. ConclusionDanggui Shaoyaosan may inhibit lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis by activating the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway to treat NAFLD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of SH2B1 rs7359397 (C>T) polymorphism with the progression to hepatic fibrosis in the elderly patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in Beijing, China, and to provide an important genetic basis for the precise subtyping, prognostic evaluation, and individualized treatment of elderly MASLD patients in China. MethodsA total of 505 elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) who participated in regular physical examination in Mentougou Kuangshan Hospital of Beijing Jingmei Group General Hospital from November 2020 to September 2021 and were diagnosed with MASLD by abdominal ultrasound were enrolled as MASLD group, and 381 elderly population who underwent physical examination in the same community hospital during the same period of time and were not found to have MASLD by abdominal ultrasound were enrolled as control group. FibroScan was used to measure liver fat content and determine fibrosis stage. The 96-well microfluidic chip technique was used to identify SH2B1 rs7359397 polymorphism. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between the two groups, and the chi-square test or the adjusted chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent predictive factors for MASLD and its comorbidities. ResultsCompared with the control group, the MASLD group had a significantly younger age and significantly higher levels of waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride, platelet count, and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, as well as a significantly lower level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (all P<0.05). Among the 381 patients in the control group, 264 (69.29%) had genotype CC and 117 (30.71%) had genotype CT+TT, while among the 505 patients in the MASLD group, 317 (62.77%) had genotype CC and 188 (37.23%) had genotype CT+TT, suggesting that the MASLD group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with genotype CT+TT compared with the control group (χ2=4.09, P=0.043). In the MASLD group, compared with the genotype CC group, the genotype CT+TT group had a significantly lower proportion of patients with FIB-4 ≥2 or atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI, carrying T allele was a protective factor against progressive hepatic fibrosis (odds ratio [OR]=0.481, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.249 — 0.929, P=0.029). In the subgroups of comorbidities with hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, genotype CT+TT was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of progressive hepatic fibrosis (hypertension: OR=0.27, 95%CI:0.09 — 0.77, P=0.014; metabolic syndrome: OR=0.30, 95%CI: 0.11 — 0.79, P=0.015; obesity: OR=0.11, 95%CI: 0.03 — 0.48, P=0.003). After adjustment for age, sex, and BMI, in the patients with MASLD, the patients with genotype CT+TT had a significant reduction in the prevalence rate of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases compared with those with genotype CC (OR=0.506, 95%CI:0.336 — 0.761, P=0.001). ConclusionSH2B1 rs7359397 (C>T) polymorphism is associated with the reduction in the risk of hepatic fibrosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in MASLD patients.

Objective To construct the theoretical framework of rehabilitation big data based on International Classification of Func-tioning,Disability and Health(ICF). Methods Drawing upon international rehabilitation policy documents,such as the World Health Organization's Rehabili-tation in health systems;Rehabilitation in health systems:guide for action;Rehabilitation indicator menu:a tool accompanying the Framework for Rehabilitation Monitoring and Evaluation(FRAME);Template for Rehabilita-tion Information Collection(TRIC):a tool accompanying the Systematic Assessment of Rehabilitation Situation(STARS);and Framework and Standards for Country Health Information Systems;this study examined the com-position and function of rehabilitation big data.The content structure of the rehabilitation big data domain was an-alyzed using the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications(WHO-FICs).Furthermore,the generation patterns of rehabilitation big data was constructed drawing on the Health Metrics Network and big data hierarchical classification. Results Within the six primary elements of the health service system,the information system element was particularly significant,encompassing a substantial branch known as rehabilitation big data.There were three components of rehabilitation big data:health condition,health-related factors and health services.The content framework for this data was derived from the WHO-FICs framework,which covered three dimensions:health and function,dis-ease and function,and disease,function and intervention.A comprehensive model for generating and applying re-habilitation big data in rehabilitation services was developed in line with the requirements for constructing big da-ta architectures.The sources of this data included population censuses,social registration information,population surveys,resources,services and personal records.The result chain of rehabilitation big data encompassed five major processes:input,process,output,outcome and impact.The processing and utilization of this data involved collection,storage,management,analysis and application. Conclusion A theoretical framework for rehabilitation big data has been constructed based on the ICF theory.
7.Research on the rationalization of doctor-patient communication behavior from the perspective of communicative action theory:a case study of the documentary Chinese Doctors
Chinese Medical Ethics 2024;37(10):1181-1188
Doctor-patient communication is not only a part of medical behavior,but also an important part of social communicative action.Starting from the perspective of the core category of communication action theory,namely the rationalization of communication behavior,this paper investigated the elements of rationalization in the doctor-patient communication behavior in the documentary Chinese Doctors.It was found that reasonable doctor-patient communication was based on the intersubjectivity between doctors and patients,with the medical and patient subjects engaging in equal interaction around illness,diagnosis and treatment,and other objects;doctor-patient speech should follow the requirements for communicative validity,which require authenticity,correctness,and sincerity as conditions;doctor-patient communication should take the ideal speech situation as a way to achieve free and rational dialogue,and ultimately should take understanding and consensus as orientation to build a harmonious doctor-patient communication relationship.

ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan on adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/Unc-51-like kinase-1 (ULK1) signaling pathway in the rat model of metabolism-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). MethodSixty SD rats were randomized into control, model, western medicine (polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules,0.144 g·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.44, 4.88, 9.76 g·kg-1, respectively) Danggui Shaoyaosan groups. After being fed with a high-fat diet for 8 weeks, the rats in each group were administrated with corresponding drugs for 4 weeks. At the end of drug treatment, serum and liver tissue were collected for subsequent determination of related indicators. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed increased contents of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the serum, increased contents of TC, TG, and free fatty acids (FFAs) in the liver (P<0.01), and decreased content of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the serum (P<0.01). Furthermore, the model group showed down-regulated protein levels of p-AMPK, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) Ⅱ, Beclin1, and ULK1 (P<0.01) and up-regulated protein levels of p-mTOR and ubiquitin-binding protein p62 in the liver (P<0.01). The hepatic steatosis was obvious and the NAFLD activity score (NAS) and oil red O staining area increased in the model group, (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Danggui Shaoyaosan reduced the contents of TC and TG and the activities of ALT and AST in the serum, lowered the levels of TC, TG, and FFA in the liver, down-regulated the protein levels of p-mTOR and p62 (P<0.01), elevated the serum HDL-C level, and up-regulated the protein levels of p-AMPK, LCBⅡ, Beclin1, and ULK1 in the liver (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, it alleviated hepatic steatosis and decreased the NAS and oil red O staining area (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionDanggui Shaoyaosan has therapeutic effect on MAFLD rats by regulating AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway to enhance autophagy.
