Objective: To explore the fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption and related influencing factors among urban junior students in Hangzhou.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the frequency and amount of FV consumption as well as related socio-demographic characteristics. Logistic regression method was applied to study other factors related to the amount of vegetables consumption ≥ 21 servings and fruit consumption ≥ 14 servings per week.
Results: Among 3724 junior students included in this study, 54.7% of them consumed FV daily, 23.6% consumed vegetables ≥ 21 servings and fruit ≥ 14 servings per week (equaled to vegetables ≥ 3 servings and fruit ≥ 2 servings every day). The level of FV intake was high in girls, mother with higher education, and higher family socioeconomic status (SES). After controlling 5 socio-demographic factors, data on the consumption of daily vegetables ≥ 21 servings and fruit ≥ 14 servings weekly, were positively associated with daily physical activity (PA) ≥ 60 min (OR = 1.667, 95%CI: 1.216 - 2.203), encouragement on FV intake daily by family (OR = 1.881, 95%CI: 1.498 - 2.363), positive familial attitude on the daily intake of FV (OR = 1.275, 95%CI: 1.025 - 1.586), preparation FV 3 - 6 days per week (OR = 1.691, 95%CI: 1.310 - 2.183) or daily (OR = 2.944, 95%CI: 2.348 - 3.690), family consumption of FV with children/3-6 days per week (OR = 1.392, 95%CI: 1.056 - 1.835) or on the daily base (OR = 2.817, 95%CI: 2.217 - 3.580), breakfast usually made at home (OR = 1.364, 95%CI: 1.158 - 1.607), offering FV course at school last year (OR = 1.238, 95%CI:1.035 - 1.480) and awareness on the benefit of FV (OR = 3.150, 95%CI: 1.121 - 8.856) etc. respectively.
Conclusion: Socio-demographic characteristics, daily PA, dietary pattern at home, education and awareness on the benefits of FV on health etc. were all related to the FV intake among junior students in Hangzhou.

Here we report results of a phase 1 multi-institutional, open-label, dose-escalation trial (NCT02744287) of BPX-601, an investigational autologous PSCA-directed GoCAR-T® cell product containing an inducible MyD88/CD40 ON-switch responsive to the activating dimerizer rimiducid, in patients with metastatic pancreatic (mPDAC) or castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Primary objectives were to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine the recommended phase 2 dose/schedule (RP2D). Secondary objectives included the assessment of efficacy and characterization of the pharmacokinetics of rimiducid.

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) plays a crucial role in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the clinic, but the aneurysm remains in the patient's body after surgery, continuing to pose a risk of progression. Cycloastragenol (CAG) is proven to be an effective anti-AAA drug, and its vascular protective effects can be further improved when the hydrophobic CAG is encapsulated into nano-sized formulations to enhance its bioavailability. In this context, this study developed an extravascular patch hydrogel loaded with CAG nanostructured lipid carriers and a hydrophilic drug of doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX).

Purpose: Adalimumab, a TNF-alpha inhibitor, is the only FDA-approved biologic for non-infectious uveitis (NIU). However, treatment responses vary, potentially due to interindividual pharmacokinetic differences influenced by body mass index (BMI). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of BMI on adalimumab serum trough levels and therapeutic efficacy in patients with NIU.

Microtubule-severing enzymes such as spastin, katanin, and fidgetin, characterized by their AAA ATPase domains, are pivotal in modulating microtubule dynamics and behavior across various cellular processes. While spastin and katanin are recognized for their predominant and robust severing of stable microtubules, thereby enhancing microtubule turnover, fidgetin exhibits comparatively weaker severing activity and selectively targets labile microtubules. The interplay among these enzymes and their mutual regulatory mechanisms remains inadequately understood.

Article Synopsis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a serious vascular condition that currently only has surgical treatment options for advanced stages, with inflammation playing a key role in its development.* -
- A genetic study used Mendelian randomization to analyze the relationship between various inflammatory factors and AAA, identifying specific factors that could either increase or decrease the risk of developing the condition.* -
- The findings suggest that targeting certain inflammatory factors could offer new strategies for preventing and treating AAA without surgical intervention.*
