Objective: To understand the needs of parents of kindergarten children in urban areas for online training on sexuality education, so as to provide a basis for the development of parent training courses. Methods: In May 2023, a multistage cluster random sampling method was used to select 3 516 parents of young children from 12 kindergartens in urban areas of Changshou District, Chongqing. A self designed questionnaire on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Early Childhood Sexuality Education (Parents) was used for the survey, and χ 2 test and multi factor Logistic regression model were used for data analysis. Results: The online training demand rate of urban parents for early childhood sexuality education was 57.05%. The results of the multi factor Logistic regression analysis showed that age, education level, occupation, whether or not they were the main caregivers, total score level of the scale, awareness of their own responsibility, communication with family and friends about early childhood sexuality education and young children s participation in kindergarten sexuality education activities were the influencing factors of parents online training demand on sexuality education ( OR =1.18, 1.44, 1.42, 0.83, 1.19, 0.51, 0.75, 0.75, P <0.05). Conclusion Urban parents have a high demand for online training on early childhood sexuality education, and training courses should be developed according to the specific needs and characteristics of parents of young children.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of albumin (ALB), aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio (AST/ALT) in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) in hyperacute phase of sepsis which provided the basis for clinical evaluation and prognostic judgment and corresponding treatment options.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis admitted to Zhoupu Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Health College, Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Hospital, and Shanghai Oriental Hospital from January 2019 to February 2024 were enrolled. General data such as gender and age of the patients were collected. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), liver function indexes [total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), AST, ALT, AST/ALT, ALB, total protein (TP), globulin (GLB), ALB/GLB ratio (A/G), blood amine, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT)], platelet count (PLT), creatinine, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), severity of illness scores [acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)], serum procalcitonin (PCT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), arterial blood lactic acid (Lac) within 24 hours after admission, and whether to use mechanical ventilation, whether to use vasoactive drugs, whether to use artificial liver treatment and prognosis during hospitalization also were collected. The differences of clinical data between patients with different prognosis were compared. The variables with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors for death of patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis during hospitalization. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of ALB and AST/ALT for death of patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis during hospitalization.Results:A total of 73 patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis were included, with 22 survived and 51 died during hospitalization and the mortality of 69.86%. Compared with the survival group, the patients in the death group had lower ALB, γ-GT within 24 hours after admission and proportion of artificial liver treatment, and higher AST/ALT, SOFA score, LDH and proportion of use of vasoactive drugs. The differences were statistically significant. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ALB and AST/ALT were the independent risk factors for death in patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis during hospitalization [ALB: odds ratio ( OR) = 0.856, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.736-0.996, P = 0.044; AST/ALT: OR = 2.018, 95% CI was 1.137-3.580, P = 0.016]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ALB for predicting in-hospital death in patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis was 0.760 (95% CI was 0.637-0.884, P < 0.001). When ALB ≤ 29.05 g/L, the sensitivity was 68.2%, and the specificity was 76.5%. The AUC of AST/ALT for predicting in-hospital death in patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis was 0.764 (95% CI was 0.639-0.888, P < 0.001). When AST/ALT ≥ 1.26, the sensitivity was 59.1%, and the specificity was 90.2%. Conclusions:The lower the ALB level, and the higher the AST/ALT within 24 hours after admission, the worse the prognosis of patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis. ALB and AST/ALT can be used as clinical indicators to evaluate the severity and prognosis of patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis.

L-theanine has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on depression.However,whether L-theanine has an excellent preventive effect on depression in children and adolescents and what its mechanism is have not been well explained.Given the complexity of the pathogenesis of depression,this study investigated the preventive effect and mechanism of L-theanine on depression in juvenile rats by combining serum and hippocampal metabolomic strategies.Behavioral tests,hippocampal tissue sections,and serum and hippocampal biochemical indexes were studied,and the results confirmed the preventive effect of L-theanine.Untargeted reversed-phase liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spec-trometry and targeted hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spec-trometry were developed to analyze the metabolism changes in the serum and hippocampus to screen for potential biomarkers related to L-theanine treatment.The results suggested that 28 abnormal me-tabolites in the serum and hippocampus that were considered as potential biomarkers returned to near-normal levels after L-theanine administration.These biomarkers were involved in various metabolic pathways,mainly including amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism.The levels of amino acids and neurotransmitters in the phenylalanine,tryptophan,and glutamic acid pathways were significantly reduced after L-theanine administration compared with chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced rats.In summary,L-theanine had a significant preventive effect on depression and achieved its preventive results on depression by regulating various aspects of the body,such as amino acids,lipids,and inflammation.This research systematically analyzed the mechanism of L-theanine in preventing depression and laid the foundation for applying L-theanine to prevent depression in children and adolescents.

Viscum coloratum (Kom.) Nakai is a well-known medicinal plant. However, the optimal harvest time for V. coloratum is unknown. Few studies were performed to analyze compound variation during storage and to improve post-harvest quality control. Our study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the quality of V. coloratum in different growth stages, and determine the dynamic variation of metabolites. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to quantify 29 compounds in V. coloratum harvested in six growth periods, and the associated biosynthetic pathways were explored. The accumulation of different types of compounds were analyzed based on their synthesis pathways. Grey relational analysis was used to evaluate the quality of V. coloratum across different months. The compound variation during storage was analyzed by a high-temperature high-humidity accelerated test. The results showed that the quality of V. coloratum was the hightest in March, followed by November, and became the lowest in July. During storage, compounds in downstream steps of the biosynthesis pathway were first degraded to produce the upstream compounds and some low-molecular-weight organic acids, leading to an increase followed by a decrease in the content of some compounds, and resulted in a large gap during the degradation time course among different compounds. Due to the rapid rate and large degree of degradation, five compounds were tentatively designated as "early warning components" for quality control. This report provides reference for better understanding the biosynthesis and degradation of metabolites in V. coloratum and lays a theoretical foundation for rational application of V. coloratum and better quality control of V. coloratum during storage.

Medical Ethics is an important course of "establish morality and cultivate people" in medical colleges and universities, which has the dual characteristics of medical humanities and medical practice. The course of medical ethics should conform to the development trend of the times, make full use of the new teaching mode, change the teaching methods, and promote the deep integration of medical humanities course and information technology. As a new teaching mode, immersion teaching can effectively focus on teaching needs, stimulate students’ interest, improve teaching effectiveness, and effectively make up for the shortcomings of the current teaching of medical ethics. This paper aimed to explore the immersion teaching of medical ethics. Firstly, it analyzed the necessity of adopting immersion teaching from two aspects: the characteristics of immersion teaching and the existing problems of medical ethics teaching. Secondly, combined with the current teaching conditions, it put forward two implementation paths and main instructional design of immersive teaching of medical ethics. At the same time, it analyzed the main influencing factors of the realization of immersive teaching of medical ethics from teaching subject and teaching object.

OBJECTIVE：To s tudy the effects of Dracocephalum moldavica total flavonoids （TFDM）on AMPK/SIRT 1/PGC-1α signaling pathway ，and to explore the mechanism of its protective effect on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury （MIRI）rats. METHODS：Totally 50 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group ，model group ，TFDM group [ 60 mg/（kg·d），by extract] ，Compound C+TFDM group [ig administration of 60 mg/（kg·d）TFDM+intravenous injection of 250 μg/kg Compound C（AMPK inhibitor ）via tail vein 15 min before reperfusion] ，EX-527+TFDM group [ig administration of 60 mg/ （kg·d）TFDM+ip injection of 5 mg/kg EX- 527（SIRT1 inhibitor）20 min before reperfusion] ，with 10 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 7 days.

A metabonomic approach involving an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography combined with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (UHPLC-FT-ICR-MS) was used to investi-gate the changes in the endogenous metabolites in the plasma of rats with yeast-induced pyrexia treated with Gegenqinlian decoction (GQLD), aspirin and itraconazole. The differences in the small molecule profiles of treatment using traditional Chinese medicine, etiological treatment and symptomatic treat-ment were elucidated. Thirty-six plasma metabolites were identified or putatively identified, and the effects of the three medicines on the thirty-six metabolites were studied. Their metabolic pathways indicated that GQLD, aspirin and itraconazole ameliorated the rats with yeast-induced pyrexia pre-dominantly by regulating the metabolisms of phospholipid, sphingolipid, fatty acid oxidation, fatty acid amides, amino acid and glycerolipid in vivo. The pharmacodynamics and metabonomic results showed that the three medicines exhibited the therapeutic effects on pyrexia by regulating the perturbations of multiple metabolisms. The study provided a scientific basis for an in-depth understanding of the ther-apeutic effects of GQLD, aspirin and itraconazole on rats with yeast-induced pyrexia.

To ensure the safety of the commercially available chenpi, a convenient and fast analytical method was developed for the determination of 133 pesticide residues in chenpi using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). In this study, different extraction solvents, redissolution solvents and adsorbents were tested according to the recovery and purification effect to obtain a modified QuEChERS method. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile. During the clean-up step, octadecyl-modified silica (C18) and graphitized carbon black (GCB) were selected, and aminopropyl (NH2) was used instead of primary secondary amine (PSA) because of its weaker ion exchange capacity which had little effect on the recovery of ditalimfos. Samples were quantified by matrix-matched calibration with internal stan-dards. All pesticides showed good linearity in the respective range, both with values of r2 >0.99. The average recoveries of the pesticides spiked samples ranged from 70.0％ to 112.2％ with the RSDs of 0.2％–14.4％. The modified QuEChERS method was validated and applied to twenty real samples. Five pesticides were found in eight batches, but no pesticide exceeded the maximum residue limits (MRL, MRL reference to European commission).
