    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effects of two years'nutrition intervention with eggs and milk on the body composition of rural primary school students in Tianyang County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
    Methods: Four intervention schools and four control schools were selected randomly from Tianyang County of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Both intervention schools and control schools were similar in socialeconomic level, teaching standards, and school size. A total of 672 students(380students in the intervention group and 292 students in the control group)were recruited from the 2nd to the 4th Grade in primary school. Students in the intervention group were provided 200 g school milk and 50 g halogen eggs per school day. For students in the control group, no intervention was provided. Their height and weight were collected, and body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance method at baseline, after oneyear and two-year intervention. The mixed linear model of repeated measurements was adopted for the comparison of each index. According to their weights by gender and age at baseline, students were divided into low weight group, medium weight group, and high weight group. Changes in body composition of students in each weight groups after two years'intervention were analyzed.
    Results: The increase of lean body mass of the male students in the intervention group was 0. 5 kg higher compared to those in the control group after one-year intervention(t=3. 66, P<0. 001). However, the difference was not significant between two groups after two years of intervention. In terms of body fat, the intervention group gained 0. 2 kg more body fat after one year(t=2. 12, P=0. 034)and0. 5 kg more after two years(t=3. 23, P=0. 001)compared to the control group. Differences in body fat or lean body weight in boys between intervention and control group were still present after controlling age, height and weight. At the same time, those effects on lean body mass were only found among boys with low and medium baseline weight level, and the effects on body fat were found among boys with high weight level. No effects were found in girls neither after one year or two years of intervention.
    Conclusion: Two-year supplementation with eggs and milk had promoted lean body weight increase and body fat increase of poor rural primary school male students in Guangxi. However, no significant effects were found in female students.

    Abstract Mango is an important cash crop in the tropics and subtropics. Determining the yield gap of mango and production constraints can potentially promote the sustainable development of the mango industry. In this study, boundary line analysis based on survey data from 103 smallholder farmers and a yield gap model were used to determine the yield gap and production constraints in mango plantations in the northern mountain, central valley and southern mountains regions of Tianyang County, Guangxi, China. The results indicated that the yield of mango in three representing regions of Tianyang County, Northern Mountains, Central Valley and Southern Mountains, was 18.3, 17.0 and 15.4 t ha−1 yr−1, with an explainable yield gap of 10.9, 6.1 and 14.8 t ha−1 yr−1, respectively. Fertilization management, including fertilizer N, P2O5 and K2O application rates, and planting density were the main limiting factors of mango yield in all three regions. In addition, tree age influenced mango yield in the Northern Mountains (11.1%) and Central Valley (11.7%) regions. Irrigation time influenced mango yield in the Northern Mountains (9.9%) and Southern Mountains (12.2%). Based on a scenario analysis, the predicted yield would increase by up to 50%, and fertilizer N use would be reduced by as much as approximately 20%. An improved understanding of production constraints will aid in the development of management strategy measures to increase mango yield.

    Abstract The escalating challenge of municipal solid waste (MSW) critically tests the sustainable development capacities of urban centers. In response, China initiated pilot policies in 2017 aimed at bolstering MSW management. The effectiveness of these initiatives, however, necessitates empirical scrutiny. This study leverages panel data spanning 95 cities at the prefectural level or higher, covering the period from 2006 to 2020, to assess the impact of the MSW sorting pilot policy on urban sustainable development using a difference-in-differences approach. The research found that the MSW sorting pilot policy has significantly increased the processing volume of MSW, thereby enhancing the sustainable development capabilities of cities. Further, the study identifies augmented fixed asset investments as a key mechanism through which pilot cities have enhanced their MSW management capabilities. Notably, the policy's stimulative effects are more pronounced in less densely populated and economically lagging regions. These findings provide critical insights for developing nations in shaping MSW sorting strategies and advancing urban sustainability.

    Abstract DNA damage response (DDR) plays a vital role in the development of cancer. Nevertheless, in osteosarcoma, the potential of DDR-related genes (DDRGs) remains unclear. Thus, the current research is intended to investigate the mechanisms of DDRGs in the development of osteosarcoma and to explore potential DDR-related biomarkers in forecasting the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients. The osteosarcoma genomic data from TCGA, GEO and cBioPortal databases were utilized for screening and identification of differentially expressed DDRGs (DEDDRGs). Consensus clustering analysis was performed to identify different subtypes of osteosarcoma based on the expressions of DDRGs. Key DEDRRGs were identified by overlapping DEDRRGs between different subtypes and DEDRRGs between tumor and control samples. Univariate, as well as LASSO regressions, were further applied to obtain robust prognostic signatures. GSVA and ssGSEA analysis were implemented to explore the underlying mechanisms of prognostic DDRG signature in regulating osteosarcoma. In addition, the drug sensitivity of patients in low- and high-risk groups was evaluated using pRRophetic algorithm. A total of 43 key DEDRRGs were identified. Followed by univariate Cox along with LASSO regression analyses, CDK6, CSF1R, EGFR, ERBB4, GATA3 and SOCS1 were identified as prognostic signatures in osteosarcoma. Cox regressions revealed that the risk score was an independent prognostic factor in osteosarcoma.  DDR may affect osteosarcoma via regulating immune microenvironment along with influencing cell proliferation, migration, adhesion and apoptosis. The chemotherapeutic response between patients in low- and high-risk groups was much different. The role of DDRGs in osteosarcoma and identified six DDR-linked biomarkers for forecasting the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients. Our outcomes enhanced the understanding of DDR-related molecular mechanisms involved in osteosarcoma and provided potential therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma patients.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a virtual reality (VR) program designed and developed based on the hallucinogenic harm reduction and integration (PHRI) clinical model could be more effective in guiding positive thinking training, improving positive thinking awareness and ability, and, to some extent, facilitating personal efficacy and emotional state compared to a traditional VR program that places users in a virtual natural ecological environment to guide positive thinking training. We also sought to understand the factors that may influence the effectiveness of VR interventions and user experience.
    Method: Seventy-six randomly recruited participants were divided into a control group and an experimental group of 38 participants, each according to a random number table, and were trained in VR meditation for eight weeks. The experimental group used a PHRI-based mindfulness program, while the control group used a traditional mindfulness meditation program. We used The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and the PAD emotional three-dimensional scale to assess the level of state mindfulness and changes in the emotional state before and at the end of the experiment. The Immersive Tendencies Questionnaire measured the user's sense of presence and immersion in the virtual environment. The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaires and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) were used at the baseline assessment stage before and at the 4-week follow-up after the experiment to assess the change in trait mindfulness levels due to the mindfulness training. The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaires and the DASS-21 were used to assess changes in mindfulness and mental health trait levels.
    Results: At the end of the experiment, the MMSQ score was significantly lower in the control group than in the experimental group, while the ITQ score was significantly higher than in the experimental group, and both scores were statistically significant (
    Conclusion: The VR positive thinking program developed based on PHRI can significantly increase the positive thinking state and emotional arousal and activation of the general population participants but does not directly lead to the growth of positive emotions. Moreover, this detached psychedelic scene brings users a weaker sense of presence and presence than traditional natural space scenes. Furthermore, it does not bring any intense simulator motion sickness symptoms. These findings suggest that VR programs developed based on PHRI have a more positive facilitation effect on the positive state and that this increase lasts longer than conventional VR-positive programs.
