OBJECTIVE To study the effects of sophoranone （SOP） on the biological behavior of nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-1 cells and mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway. METHODS CNE-1 cells were divided into blank group and SOP low-， medium- and high-concentration groups （SOP-L group， SOP-M group， SOP-H group， 25， 50 and 100 μmol/L）. The number of invasive cells， the number of migratory cells， and the apoptosis rate of cells were detected. The expression levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase （MEK）， extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 （ERK1）， ERK2， and c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK） mRNA， as well as phosphorylation levels of ERK， JNK， and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （abbreviated as “p38”） proteins in cells were all detected. Additionally， cells were divided into blank group， SOP high-concentration group （SOP- H group， 100 μmol/L）， SOP high-concentration combined with p38 inhibitor group （SOP-H+SB group， 100 μmol/L SOP+10 μmol/L SB）， and SOP high-concentration combined with JNK inhibitor group （SOP-H+SP group， 100 μmol/L SOP+10 μmol/L SP）. The number of invasive cells， cell migration rate， and the protein phosphorylation levels of JNK and p38 in cells， as well as the protein expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9（MMP-9）， proliferating cell nuclear antigen Ki67， and cleaved-caspase-3 were measured. RESULTS Compared with the blank group， SOP for each concentration could significantly decrease the number of invasive cells， the number of migratory cells， and mRNA expressions of MEK， ERK1， ERK2 （except for the SOP-L group） and JNK， but increase the apoptosis rate of cells and phosphorylation levels of ERK， JNK， and p38 proteins （P＜0.05）. Compared with the SOP-H group， the protein phosphorylation levels of p38 and JNK， and the protein expression of cleaved-caspase-3 were decreased significantly in SOP-H+SB group and SOP-H+SP group， while the number of invasive cells， cell migration rate， and the protein expression levels of MMP-9 and Ki67 were all increased significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS SOP can inhibit the proliferation， migration and invasion of CNE-1 cells， and induce the apoptosis， the mechanisms of which may be associated with promoting the phosphorylation of proteins related to the MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the correlation and dose-response relationship between blood lipid parameters and the risk of thyroid nodules (TNs) in euthyroid women, providing references for disease prevention. Methods A case-control study was conducted, including 1 412 euthyroid women (701 in the case group and 711 in the control group). Crude and multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between blood lipid parameters and the risk of TNs, and restricted cubic spline regression was applied to explore the dose-response relationship. Results Compared with women in the lowest quartile of serum triglyceride (TG; Q1, TG≤0.92 mmol/L), the risk of TNs was 45% (OR＝1.45, 95%CI 1.06-1.98) higher for those in Q2 (TG 0.93-1.24 mmol/L), 101% (OR＝2.01, 95%CI 1.47-2.77) higher for those in Q3 (TG 1.25-1.81 mmol/L), and 67% (OR＝1.67, 95%CI 1.19-2.33) higher for those in Q4 (TG>1.81 mmol/L) after adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI) and education. For each unit increase in log₁₀TG, the risk increased by 98% (OR＝1.98, 95%CI 1.14-3.45). Moreover, the correlation remained statistically significant even after further adjustment for thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and urinary iodine (OR＝1.75, 95%CI 1.00-3.06, P＜0.05). However, correlations of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with the risk of TNs were not statistically significant. Restricted cubic spline regression analysis further demonstrated the non-linear dose-response relationship of TG levels with the risk of TNs. Specifically, the risk of TNs increased in a monotonic manner at lower TG concentrations (＜1.23 mmol/L), but appeared to plateau or even slightly decrease at higher levels of TG (≥1.23 mmol/L). Conclusions Among euthyroid women, higher serum TG level is associated with risk of TNs, and this correlation is non-linear.

Objective: To explore parents knowledge, vaccination attitude, and willingness influencing factors of human papillomavirus (HPV) and its vaccine for male primary and secondary school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted health education strategies and promoting the popularization of boys HPV vaccination. Methods: From March 3 to 14, 2025, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 912 parents of boys in primary and secondary school in Bao an District, Shenzhen for a questionnaire survey. Data on their demographic characteristics, HPV related knowledge and its vaccine, vaccination attitude, and willingness were collected. Univariate analysis was performed by using the χ 2 test or t-test, and binary Logistic regression model was used to analyze related factors of HPV vaccine vaccination willingness. Results: The total awareness rate of parents knowledge related to HPV and its vaccine was 35.75%, among which the awareness rates of boys vaccine types ( 6.36% ), optimal age (21.16%), and optimal vaccination period (31.25%) were the lowest. The scores of parents knowledge and attitude related to HPV and its vaccine were (4.31±2.66) and (3.82±0.63). About 64.25% of parents expressed willingness to have boys vaccinated against HPV. The scores of knowledge and attitude related to HPV and its vaccine of parents with vaccination willingness (4.86±2.55, 4.02±0.58) were higher than those of parents without vaccination willingness (3.34±2.57, 3.46±0.55), and the differences were statistically significant ( t =8.59,13.96, both P <0.01). Logistic analysis showed that parents without raising daughters had a lower willingness to vaccinate boys against HPV ( OR=0.49, 95%CI =0.35-0.70); for each 1 increase in parents knowledge score related to HPV and its vaccine, the vaccination willingness increased by 9.0% ( OR=1.09, 95%CI =1.01-1.17); parents who were worried about boys infection risk ( OR=1.50, 95%CI =1.08-2.08) and parents who had their children vaccinated against HPV even if their classmates were not vaccinated ( OR=3.68, 95%CI =2.73-4.94) had higher willingness to vaccinate boys against HPV(all P <0.05). Conclusions Parents of boys in primary and secondary schools of Bao an District, Shenzhen have low scores of knowledge related to HPV and its vaccine.While parents show strong willingness to vaccinate boys against HPV, limited knowledge may hinder both the sustained growth of vaccination intentions and the actual implementation of vaccination practices.

BACKGROUND:The assessment of asymmetric gait quality plays a pivotal role in guiding rehabilitation training;however,the link between gait quality and kinematic-kinetic gait parameters remains ambiguous. OBJECTIVE:To formulate a machine-learning model for evaluating gait quality based on gait parameters,identify factors sensitive to gait quality from asymmetric gait parameters,investigate the relationship between gait indicators and gait quality,and provide guidance for asymmetric gait training and rehabilitation. METHODS:An asymmetric gait database was established through the creation of asymmetric conditions.Kinematic and kinetic data were collected from 8 young and 8 elderly subjects(all male,right dominant population)during gait tests.Gait quality for each test data set was assessed using symmetry indices,resulting in the creation of a gait parameter-gait quality dataset.Utilizing the Random Forest algorithm,a gait quality evaluation model was developed and key quality parameter factors were identified through differential analysis.This model was iteratively refined.The model's performance was evaluated through 10-fold cross-validation,and its effectiveness was verified using the cross-validation dataset. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A gradient test was designed to categorize gait quality into optimal,suboptimal,intermediate,and poor groups,with 759,329,133,and 125 instances,respectively.(2)The application of the Random Forest algorithm in gait quality assessment was explored.A relationship model was established between gait indicators and gait quality,yielding a predictive model accuracy of 95.99%.(3)The 13 main parameters significantly influencing asymmetric gait quality were identified through the Random Forest model's feature importance ranking.(4)An analysis of gait quality sensitivity factors using the 13 important parameters led to the identification of five key sensitivity indexes.The Random Forest model utilizing these sensitivity factors achieved a predictive accuracy of 94.20%.

Objective:To comprehensively understand the disease burden of liver cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases caused by alcohol use in China from 1990 to 2019, as well as to predict the trends in disease burden from 2020 to 2030.Methods:The analysis utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease study in 2019 (GBD2019). Key indicators such as incidence rate, mortality rate, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), years of life lost due to premature mortality, and years lived with disability were selected to describe the disease burden of alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases in China from 1990 to 2019. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used to depict the temporal trends in disease burden. Furthermore, a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was constructed using R software to predict the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases in China from 2020 to 2030.Results:From 1990 to 2019, the incidence of alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases in China showed an upward trend, with an EAPC of 0.31% (95% CI: 0.10%-0.52%). However, the DALY declined, with an EAPC of -2.81% (95% CI: -2.92% - -2.70%). The ASMR showed a downward trend, with an EAPC of -2.55% (95% CI: -2.66% - -2.45%). The highest incidence of cirrhosis of liver caused by alcohol and other chronic liver diseases was reported in the age group of 35-49 years, while the ASMR increased gradually with age, with a significant rise after the age of 30. The age-standardized DALY rate peaked between the ages of 55 and 64. The disease burden indicators for males were consistently higher than those for females during the same period. According to the predictions of the BAPC model, from 2020 to 2030, the ASIR for cirrhosis of liver caused by alcohol and other chronic liver diseases in the entire population of China was projected to increase from 3.45/100 000 in 2020 to 3.78/100 000 in 2030, a growth of 9.57%. Conversely, the ASMR was expected to decrease from 1.45/100 000 in 2020 to 1.24/100 000 in 2030, a reduction of 14.48%. Conclusions:The disease burden of cirrhosis of liver caused by alcohol and other chronic liver diseases remained serious in China, especially in men and the middle-aged to elderly population. There is a pressing need to prioritize attention and resources towards these groups. Despite the projected decrease in ASMR, the ASIR continued to rise and is expected to persist in its upward trend until 2030.
