Exploration and Practice of the"One-Student-Two-Tutors"Community through Integrating"1+3 Teaching Resources"into Undergraduate Experimental Teaching

This study closely follows the spirit of the first class undergraduate education action plan(2021-2025)of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology,combines with the national first-class undergraduate professional training plan of mechanical design and manufacturing and automation,and carries out the exploration and practice of"1+3 teaching resources"integrating into the"One-Student-Two-Tutors"community of undergraduate experimental teaching.On the basis of creating a good learning environment and creating an excellent learning platform,this paper studies the undergraduate experimental teaching of the trinity of"theoretical courses+experimental courses+innovation and entrepreneurship activities,discipline competitions,and scientific research project activities".This study has a certain reference value for colleges and universities to cultivate outstanding engineering talents with happy learning attitude,scientific research interest,practical ability and innovative ability.

Application and Practice of Knowledge Graph in Experimental Teaching in Colleges and Universities

With the reform of experimental teaching in colleges and universities,the teaching mode of"experimental students as the main body,experimental teachers as the guide"needs to constantly explore new experimental teaching methods.In this paper,knowledge graph is integrated into the experiment of mechanical principle to guide undergraduates to use knowledge graph to analyze and summarize independently in experimental teaching activities,aiming at cultivating undergraduates interest in learning and innovative thinking,so as to improve the quality of experimental teaching.This study has a certain reference significance for experimental teaching in colleges and universities.

Early-life famine exposure,adulthood obesity patterns,and risk of low-energy fracture

Malnutrition in early life increases the risk of osteoporosis,but the association of early-life undernutrition combined with adulthood obesity patterns with low-energy fracture remains unknown.This study included 5323 community-dwelling subjects aged⩾40 years from China.Early-life famine exposure was identified based on the participants’birth dates.General obesity was assessed using the body mass index(BMI),and abdominal obesity was evaluated with the waist-to-hip ratio(WHR).Low-energy fracture was defined as fracture occurring after the age of⩾40 typically caused by falls from standing height or lower.Compared to the nonexposed group,the group with fetal,childhood,and adolescence famine exposure was associated with an increased risk of fracture in women with odds ratios(ORs)and 95%confidence intervals(CIs)of 3.55(1.57–8.05),3.90(1.57–9.71),and 3.53(1.05–11.88),respectively,but not in men.Significant interactions were observed between fetal famine exposure and general obesity with fracture among women(P for interaction=0.0008).Furthermore,compared with the groups with normal BMI and WHR,the group of women who underwent fetal famine exposure and had both general and abdominal obesity had the highest risk of fracture(OR,95%CI:3.32,1.17–9.40).These results indicate that early-life famine exposure interacts with adulthood general obesity and significantly increases the risk of low-energy fracture later in life in women.

New definition of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease with elevated brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and albuminuria: a prospective cohort study

A new definition of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)has recently been proposed.We aim to examine the associations of MAFLD,particularly its discordance from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),with the progression of elevated brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV)and albuminuria in a community-based study sample in Shanghai,China.After 4.3 years of follow-up,778 participants developed elevated baPWV and 499 developed albuminuria.In comparison with the non-MAFLD group,the multivariable adjusted odds ratio(OR)of MAFLD group for new-onset elevated baPWV was 1.25(95%confidence interval(CI)1.01–1.55)and 1.35(95%CI 1.07–1.70)for albuminuria.Participants without NAFLD but diagnosed according to MAFLD definition were associated with higher risk of incident albuminuria(OR 1.77;95%CI 1.07–2.94).Patients with MAFLD with high value of hepamet fibrosis score or poor-controlled diabetes had higher risk of elevated baPWV or albuminuria.In conclusion,MAFLD was associated with new-onset elevated baPWV and albuminuria independently of body mass index,waist circumference,and hip circumference.Individuals without NAFLD but diagnosed as MAFLD had high risk of albuminuria,supporting that MAFLD criteria would be practical for the evaluation of long-term risk of subclinical atherosclerosis among fatty liver patients.

Exploring age and gender disparities in cardiometabolic phenotypes and lipidomic signatures among Chinese adults: a nationwide cohort study

Understanding sex disparities in modifiable risk factors across the lifespan is essential for crafting individualized intervention strategies.We aim to investigate age-related sex disparity in cardiometabolic phenotypes in a large nationwide Chinese cohort.A total of 254,670 adults aged 40 years or older were selected from a population-based cohort in China.Substantial sex dispari­ties in the prevalence of metabolic diseases were observed across different age strata,particularly for dyslipidemia and its com­ponents.Generalized additive models were employed to characterize phenotype features,elucidating how gender differences evolve with advancing age.Half of the 16 phenotypes consistently exhibited no sex differences,while four(high-density lipoprotein[HDL]cholesterol,apolipoprotein A1,diastolic blood pressure,and fasting insulin)displayed significant sex differences across all age groups.Triglycerides,apolipoprotein B,non-HDL cholesterol,and total cholesterol demonstrated significant age-dependent sex dis­parities.Notably,premenopausal females exhibited significant age-related differences in lipid levels around the age of 40-50 years,contrasting with the relatively stable associations observed in males and postmenopausal females.Menopause played an important but not sole role in age-related sex differences in blood lipids.Sleep duration also had an age-and sex-dependent impact on lipids.Lipidomic analysis and K-means clustering further revealed that 58.6%of the 263 measured lipids varied with sex and age,with sphingomyelins,cholesteryl esters,and triacylglycerols being the most profoundly influenced lipid species by the combined effects of age,sex,and their interaction.These findings underscore the importance of age consideration when addressing gender disparities in metabolic diseases and advocate for personalized,age-specific prevention and management.
