Objective:
To understand the health status of primary school freshmen in Guiyang and the health management service needs of parents after examination, so as to provide a reference for establishment of a collaborative health management framework involving schools, families, and healthcare providers.
Methods:
From September to October 2024, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used in Guiyang City to select 3 210 students and 3 133 parents who participated in the physical examination for primary school freshmen. Demographic indicators, physical examination indicators and laboratory examination indicators of students were collected, and parents needs for post examination health management service were investigated by self designed questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was adopted to investigate the related factors of parents health management service needs after the examination.
Results:
The detection rates of common illness among primary school freshmen were 60.22% for dental caries, 17.23 % for screening myopia, 6.11% for obesity, 3.86% for iron deficiency anemia, and 1.15% for scoliosis. The co-occurrence rate of common illness among freshmen during the physical examination was 23.89% ( n =767), among which the comorbidity rate of screening myopia and dental caries (8.22%) and obesity and dental caries (4.27%) were higher. About 63.80% parents indicated that the physical examination items were simple, and 2 366 parents (75.52%) indicated a demand for post examination management services; the average score of parents demands for post examination services was (3.12±0.70). In terms of the scores of each dimension, the mean score of nutrition and health (3.58±0.74) was the highest, while the lowest mean score was for traditional Chinese medicine health care (2.77±0.67). The mean scores for the other dimensions were as follows:exercise intervention (3.29± 0.79 ), psychological monitoring (3.17±0.58), and health education and signing (2.81±0.73). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that parents educational level (junior high school, high school/vocational school, college/undergraduate and above), living conditions (floating), and children s illness status (1, 2, >3 types) were the related factors of parents health management service needs after the entrance examination for new students ( B =2.16, 3.07, 3.68; -2.19; 3.14, 3.34, 3.11, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The prevalence of common illness in primary schools in Guiyang is characterized by a heavy burden from single diseases, with a notable occurrence of multiple comorbidities. After the physical examination, parents have obvious demand for follow up health management services. These health management services should integrate the concept of multi disease prevention according to the needs of parents.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α), a core transcription factor responding to changes in cellular oxygen levels, is closely associated with a wide range of physiological and pathological conditions. However, its differential impacts on vascular cell types and molecular programs modulating human vascular homeostasis and regeneration remain largely elusive. Here, we applied CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing of human embryonic stem cells and directed differentiation to generate HIF-1α-deficient human vascular cells including vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as a platform for discovering cell type-specific hypoxia-induced response mechanisms. Through comparative molecular profiling across cell types under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, we provide insight into the indispensable role of HIF-1α in the promotion of ischemic vascular regeneration. We found human MSCs to be the vascular cell type most susceptible to HIF-1α deficiency, and that transcriptional inactivation of ANKZF1, an effector of HIF-1α, impaired pro-angiogenic processes. Altogether, our findings deepen the understanding of HIF-1α in human angiogenesis and support further explorations of novel therapeutic strategies of vascular regeneration against ischemic damage.

Objective To analyze the causes of death of one case of imported falciparum malaria in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in January 2023, to provide a reference for the prevention of fatal malaria cases. Methods Interviews were conducted with the doctors who received and consulted the patient, as well as the family members of the patient. Clinical data from the patient's diagnosis and treatment process were collected, and the patient's clinical records and epidemiological investigation data were analyzed. Results The patient, Mr. He, a 53-year-old male from Pingnan County, Guigang City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, returned from working in Côte d'Ivoire, Africa, and entered Guangxi on December 26, 2022. He returned home after his centralized quarantine was lifted on January 3, 2023. On January 4th, 2023, the patient developed dizziness and vomiting, considering himself to a possible COVID-19 infection, he did not seek treatment. On the morning of January 6, the patient developed a fever (peak body temperature of 40 ℃), accompanied by fatigue and sore throat, and the preemptive symptoms were aggravated. The patient was admitted to the Guancheng Town Health Center with "Pneumonia" and treated with ribavirin, dexamethasone, ceftriaxone sodium, etc. On January 7, the patient again experienced a high fever (40 ℃) and was discharged to the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. Upon admission, the patient's blood pressure was measured at 78/53mmHg, further comprehensive examination showed a decrease in platelets and abnormalities in liver and renal function, procalcitonin levels at 49.9 ng/mL. Chest CT showed pneumonia, and fluid supplements and antibiotics were given. On January 8, malaria parasites were found in the patient's blood smear, and the patient was diagnosed with malaria (not classified, confirmed as falciparum malaria on January 9th). The patient was recommended to transfer to the provincial malaria-designated hospital, but his family refused. On January 8 at 13:27, the patient excreted approximately 700 g of dark red bloody stools accompanied by blurred consciousness and received hemostasis treatment. After coordinating with multiple parties, four doses of "artemisinin injection " (60 mg/dose) were taken for treatment. At 18:59 on January 8, intravenous administration of 60 mg injectable Artesunate was given, accompanied by symptomatic treatment for fever reduction and rehydration. At 19:40, the patient developed severe hypoglycemia, and severe metabolic acidosis, and blood pressure continued to decrease despite the use of vasopressors. After comprehensive treatment at 3:00 am on January 9, the patient's condition continued to deteriorate, the patient's shock could not be corrected, he lapsed into a coma, and the family requested to be discharged from the hospital. The patient returned home at 7:00 am and died of multiple organ failure at 7:30 am. Conclusions For imported malaria, early and precise diagnosis based on epidemiological history, clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, early antimalarial treatment, and management of organ dysfunction are the keys to avoiding fatal outcomes.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(4):622-626
Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of infectious diseases at schools in Beijing from 2010 to 2020, providing evidence for the prevention and control strategies in school infectious diseases.
Methods:
Information on public health emergencies was collected from Public Health Emergency Reporting System (the subsystem of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System) reported from 2010 to 2020.
Results:
A total of 146 public health emergencies and 138 public health emergencies of infectious diseases in schools were reported in Beijing from 2010 to 2020, including 4 291 cases with the rate of 2.32% and affected or exposed 185 179 cases. There were significant difference in mean annual incidence rates( χ 2=782.46, P <0.01). There were 71 events of respiratory infectious diseases and 66 events of intestinal infectious diseases, accounting for 51.45% and 47.83%, respectively. The annual incidence peaks of public health emergencies of infectious diseases were during March-June and October-December. The events mainly occurred in kindergartens and primary schools among each stage of school periods with 51 and 46 incidences respectively, which accounted for 70.29% of the total number of public health emergencies in schools. The leading infectious diseases among all the reported events in kindergartens and primary schools were hand foot mouth disease and varicella. Varicella and other infectious diarrhoeal diseases were at the top lists of infectious disease outbreaks at the secondary and university stages.
Conclusion
Infectious diseases events were the major type of public health emergencies at schools in Beijing from 2010 to 2020. Respiratory infectious diseases and intestinal infectious diseases were the keys to the prevention and control of public health emergencies related to school. It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance for public health emergencies especially for symptom surveillance. The prevention and control measures should be taken according to the characteristics of different age groups. At the same time, the prevention and control of school infectious diseases and the drill of the plan during peak periods need to be particularly strengthened.

Objective:To evaluate the skin development and repair process of X-ray radiation damage in rat with non-invasive two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) imaging technology in vivo. Methods:Totally 24 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups including X-ray irradiated group (25, 35 and 45 Gy) and non-irradiation control group. At different times after irradiation, the degree of skin injury was evaluated, and the pathological changes of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) [NAD(P)H] and collagen fiber fluorescence signals in epidermal cells were detected in vivo by TPEF imaging technology. Results:At 10 d post-irradiation, the skin of irradiation groups showed erythema and desquamation. At 15-20 d post-irradiation, the skin of radiation groups developed progressive exudation, edema and ulcers with increasing radiation dose. On day 25, the skin began to repair in the 25 Gy group, however, the skin of other groups still had exudation and ulcers. On day 10, NAD(P)H fluorescence signal in epidermal cells of irradiation groups decreased and the fluorescence signal of collagen fibers in papillary layer and reticular layer of irradiation groups reduced, which were significantly lower than that of normal control group ( t=24.145, 28.303, 26.989, 6.654, 7.510, 7.997, P<0.05). On day 30, fluorescence signal of NAD(P)H and collagen fibers in epidermal cells and dermis began to repair, the cell from stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale in the 25 Gy group showed fluorescence signal, the other groups did not show. The fluorescence signal of collagen fibers in the 25 Gy group were gradually increased in papillary layer and reticular layer, however, they were significantly lower than normal control group ( t=115.133, 17.431, P<0.05), the skin of 45 Gy group did not show fluorescence signal of collagen fibers. Conclusions:The damage and repair process of epidermal cells and dermal collagen fiber can be detected noninvasively by TPEF imaging technology after X-ray irradiation in vivo.
9.The mechanism by which epidermal growth factor 8 regulates microglia polarization in transient cerebral ischemia
Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2021;43(7):588-594
Objective:To explore the function of epidermal growth factor 8 in the polarization of microglia after ischemic brain injury and its mechanism.Methods:Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group, an ischemia group, a recombinant mouse milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (rmMFG-E8) group and an rmMFG-E8 + colivelin TFA group, each of 10. The middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion model (tMCAO) was established in all except the sham operation group. Right after the modelling the mice in the rmMFG-E8 group were immediately injected with 2μL of 0.4μg/μL of rmMFG-E8 into the ventricle contralateral to the cerebral infarction. The rmMFG-E8+ Colivelin TFA group was injected with the same dose of rmMFG-E8 plus 2μL of 5pmol/μL colivelin TFA. On the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th day after the modelling, neurological functioning was documented using behavioral tests. The volume proportion of the cerebral infarction was observed after tissue staining on the 7th day after the operation. The gene expression levels of M1 polarization marker-induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), M2 polarization marker arginase-1 (Arg1) and mouse chitinase-like molecule 3 (YM1) in the microglia were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reactions. The protein expression levels of MFG-E8, phosphorylated signal transduction and transcription factor 3 (p-STAT3) and cytokine signal transduction inhibitor-3 (SOCS3) were determined using western blotting.Results:The behavior tests revealed significant differences between the sham operation group and the other groups on all four days. Compared with the sham operation group, the average expression of MFG-E8 gene and its protein, Arg1 and Ym1, and the SOCS3/GAPDH protein ratio had decreased significantly in the ischemic group, while the average expression of iNOS and the p-STAT3/STAT3 protein ratio had increased significantly. On the 7th day after the modelling, compared with the ischemic group, the infarct volume was significantly smaller in the rmMFG-E8 group. The average expression of iNOS and the average p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio in the rmMFG-E8+ colivelin TFA group had increased significantly compared with the rmMFG-E8 group, while the average expression of Arg1 and Ym1, and the SOCS3/GAPDH ratio were significantly lower.Conclusion:MFG-E8 promotes the polarization of M2-type microglia after cerebral ischemia through STAT3 signaling, promoting the recovery of neurological functioning.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of fungal species and their sensitivity to antifungal drugs in children with invasive fungal infections.Methods:All the fungal strains primarily isolated from the sterile parts of children in Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2010 to December 2016 were analyzed.The sensitivity of strains to 5-Fluorocytosine, Fluconazole, Amphotericin B, Itraconazole and Voriconazole was tested using ATB-FUNGUS 3 yeast drug sensitivity test strip in accordance with the standards of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M27-A2.Statistical analysis of data was performed using WHONET 5.6 software.Results:Among 236 fungi isolated from aseptic samples, 64.0% (151 strains) were from blood, 22.9%(54 strains) from cerebrospinal fluid, 3.8%(9 strains) from bone marrow, 3.8%(9 strains) from ascites, 3.4%(8 strains) from pleural effusion and 2.1%(5 strains) from tissues.The top 3 dominant species detected in the 236 strains of fungi were Candida spp.(175 strains, 74.2%), Cryptococcus neoformans (31 strains, 13.1%), and Saccharomyces spp.(9 strains, 3.8%). Among the Candida spp., the main isolates were Candida albicans (107 strains, 61.1%), Candida parapsilosis (33 isolates, 18.9%), and Candida tropicalis (13 isolates, 7.4%). Rare fungi of Penicillium marneffei, Exophiala spp.and Rhizopys spp.were also detected. Candida spp.was 100% sensitive to Amphotericin B. Cryptococcus neoformans was 100% sensitive to Fluconazole, Voliconazole and Amphotericin B. Conclusions:The most common strain isolated from pediatric patients with invasive fungal infections is Candida spp., especially Candida albicans. Cryptococcus neoformans causes central nervous system and systemic disseminated infections that can′t be ignored.Amphotericin B has higher antibacterial activity against Candida spp.and Cryptococcus neoformans.Separation of species of invasive fungal infections and monitoring of drug resistance in children should be strengthened to effectively control invasive fungal infections and facilitate rational use of antifungal drugs.
