Objective To observe changes in genetic material in the peripheral blood of pediatric patients with vascular malformations after interventional procedures. Methods A total of 108 children with vascular malformations who underwent interventional procedures at Shandong University Affiliated Children’s Hospital between February 2021 and January 2024 were selected as the research subjects. Clinical data and peripheral venous blood samples before and after the interventional procedures were collected from the children. Two biological indicators, γ-H2AX and peripheral blood lymphocyte chromosomal aberration (CA), were used to determine the levels of genetic material damage in children with vascular malformations before and after interventional procedures. Results The median age of the children was 7 years and the median body weight was 27 kg. The median dose-area product (DAP) was 24.20 Gy·cm² and the median DAP/kg was 1.04 Gy·cm²/kg. The incidence rates of both γ-H2AX foci and CA in children with vascular malformations significantly increased after the interventional procedures (Z = 5.924, P < 0.001; Z = 8.515, P < 0.001). The incidence of postoperative CA in 7 children were significantly higher than that in others, approaching or exceeding 4%. The incidence rates of postoperative γ-H2AX foci and CA in children with DAP/kg ≥ 1 Gy·cm²/kg were significantly higher than those in children with DAP/kg < 1 Gy·cm²/kg (U = 7.586, P = 0.031; U = 6.835, P = 0.009). No significant differences were observed in the incidence rates of postoperative γ-H2AX foci and CA among subgroups based on age, body weight, or surgical site. A positive correlation was observed between the difference in the incidence rates of γ-H2AX foci before and after the procedure and DAP/kg (R = 0.493, P = 0.027). Conclusion Ionizing radiation exposure during interventional procedures can increase peripheral blood genetic material damage levels in children with vascular malformations, and the damage levels show a correlation with the radiation dose, with some children being abnormally sensitive. Further research is needed to explore the influencing factors for genetic material damage in children with vascular malformations after interventional procedures, which is of great significance for reducing long-term cancer risks and achieving personalized treatment strategies.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between body mass index(BMI) during pre pregnancy, maternal lipid levels during early pregnancy and childhood overweight and obesity, as well as the mediating role of maternal lipid levels during early pregnancy in pre pregnancy BMI and childhood overweight and obesity, providing scientific evidence for developing obesity prevention strategies in preschool children. Methods: Using data from Peking University Birth Cohort in Tongzhou (PKUBC-T) collected between June 2018 and September 2022, the study included 1 292 mother-child pairs. Participants were stratified into two groups based on children s BMI Z scores at age 3: an overweight/obesity risk group (BMI Z >1, n =173) and a non overweight/obesity risk group (BMI Z ≤1, n =1 119).Multivariate Logistic regression was conducted to analyze the associations between pre pregnancy BMI, maternal lipid levels[total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride（TG）,high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),TC/HDL-C,TG/HDL-C,LDL-C/HDL-C] during early pregnancy and childhood overweight and obesity. The mediating effect of maternal lipid levels during early pregnancy on pre pregnancy BMI and childhood overweight and obesity was further explored. Results: There were statistically significant differences in pregnancy BMI levels, early pregnancy blood LDL-C ,TC/HDL-C,LDL-C/HDL-C levels between the overweight and obesity risk group and the non overweight and obesity risk group ( χ 2/Z =19.01, 2.48, 2.48, 2.71, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that pre pregnancy BMI, LDL-C, TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C in early pregnancy were significantly associated with childhood overweight and obesity ( OR =1.09, 1.42, 1.49, 1.60, all P <0.05). LDL-C, TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C in early pregnancy played a significant mediating role on pre pregnancy BMI and childhood obesity and the mediating effects accounted for 7.3%, 10.2%, 23.5% of the total effects, respectively (all P <0.05). Conclusions Maternal hyperlipidemia during early pregnancy partially mediated the association between pre pregnancy obesity and childhood obesity. Both pre pregnancy obesity and maternal hyperlipidemia during early pregnancy are risk factors for obesity in preschool children.

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of atorvastatin calcium tablets(ACT)combined with colchicine(COL)on in-stent restenosis(ISR)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods Clinical data of patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS)after PCI at Jianyang People's Hospital from January 2020 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the postoperative treatment plans after PCI,they were divided into the ACT group(Aspirin enteric-coated tablets+Clopidogrel bisulfate tablets+ACT)and the combined group(Aspirin enteric-coated tablets+Clopidogrel bisulfate tablets+ACT+COL).The observation indicators include minimum lumen diameter(MLD)within the stent,ISR rate,blood lipid parameters(HDL,LDL,TG,and TC),and inflammatory markers(hs-CRP and IL-35).In addition,the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)and drug-related adverse reactions were observed and recorded.Results A total of 479 patients were included in the study,with 249 cases in the ACT group and 230 cases in the combined group.The difference in MLD between the two groups in the immediate postoperative period was not statistically significant(P＞0.05),and at 12 months postoperatively,the MLD of patients in both groups decreased significantly(P＜0.05),and the MLD of the combined group was lower than that of the ACT group(P＜0.05).The ISR rate was significantly lower in the combined group than in the ACT group(P＜0.05).The differences in preoperative lipid parameters and inflammation indicators between the two groups were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).LDL,TG,TC,and hs-CRP decreased significantly at 12 months postoperatively compared with preoperative period,while HDL and IL-35 increased significantly compared with preoperative period(P＜0.05).At 12 months postoperatively,the differences in HDL,LDL,TC,and TG between the two groups were not statistically significant(P＞0.05);compared with the ACT group,the hs-CRP levels in the combined group decreased significantly,whereas the IL-35 levels were elevated(P＜0.05).With regard to MACEs,the rate of myocardial re-infarction and the incidence of any MACEs events in the combined group were lower than those in the ACT group(P＜0.05),and the rate of emergency coronary revascularization,stroke and cardiac mortality were not statistically different(P＞0.05).Regarding drug-related adverse reactions,the differences between the two groups in the incidence of gastrointestinal reactions,the incidence of bleeding,the incidence of hematopenia,transaminase elevation,muscle soreness,infection,and any related adverse events were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion ACT combined with COL improve inflammation levels and reduce the incidence of ISR and MACEs,in ACS patients after PCI,but has a smaller impact on blood lipid parameters.and without adding additional drug-related adverse reactions.

Objective:To examine the associations of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with early childhood BMI trajectories.Methods:A total of 1 227 mother-child pairs from the Peking University Birth Cohort in Tongzhou were included in this study. In the cohort, maternal pre-pregnancy weight, height, gestational weight gain, and GDM diagnosis were collected. The children were followed up at birth and at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age to obtain height/length and weight data. The longitudinal data-based k-means clustering algorithm was used to identify early childhood BMI trajectory groups. The associations of maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain, and GDM with early childhood BMI trajectories were analyzed using the logistic regression model. We further explored whether there is an interaction effect between pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and excessive gestational weight gain on the risk of the high BMI trajectory in early childhood through multiplicative and additive interaction analyses. Results:The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity before pregnancy were 21.2% (260 cases) and 6.6% (81 cases) respectively. The prevalence of excessive gestational weight gain and GDM was 57.7% (708 cases) and 30.9% (379 cases). The early childhood BMI trajectories were named low, medium, and high trajectories, accounting for 30.5%, 45.4% and 24.1%, respectively. After controlling potential confounding factors, it was found that pre-pregnancy overweight ( OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.12-2.12), obesity ( OR=2.33, 95% CI: 1.41-3.85), and excessive gestational weight gain ( OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.10-1.97) were risk factors for being in the high BMI trajectory in early childhood. GDM was not significantly associated with early childhood BMI trajectories ( P>0.05). Compared with the independent effects of pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity ( OR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.17-3.09) and excessive gestational weight gain ( OR=1.45, 95% CI: 1.03-2.04), the risk of being in the high BMI trajectory in early childhood was greater when the two factors coexisted ( OR=2.38, 95% CI: 1.60-3.54). However, both the multiplicative and additive models showed no interaction effect between pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and excessive gestational weight gain. Conclusions:Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and excessive gestational weight gain are independent risk factors for children being in the high BMI trajectory in early childhood, providing scientific evidence for obesity prevention.

Objective:To compare the association between body mass index(BMI)trajectories deter-mined by different methods and the risk of overweight in early childhood in a prospective cohort study,and to identify children with higher risk of obesity during critical growth windows of early childhood.Methods:A total of 1 330 children from Peking University Birth Cohort in Tongzhou(PKUBC-T)were included in this study.The children were followed up at birth,1,3,6,9,12,18,and 24 months and 3 years of age to obtain their height/length and weight data,and calculate BMI Z-score.Latent class growth mixture modeling(GMM)and longitudinal data-based k-means clustering algorithm(KML)were used to determine the grouping of early childhood BMI trajectories from birth to 24 mouths.Linear regres-sion was used to compare the association between early childhood BMI trajectories determined by different methods and BMI Z-score at 3 years of age.The predictive performance of early childhood BMI trajecto-ries determined by different methods in predicting the risk of overweight(BMI Z-score＞1)at 3 years was compared using the average area under the curve(AUC)of 5-fold cross-validation in Logistic regres-sion models.Results:In the study population included in this research,the three-category trajectories determined using GMM were classified as low,medium,and high,accounting for 39.7％,54.1％,and 6.2％of the participants,respectively.The two-category trajectories determined using the KML method were classified as low and high,representing 50.3％and 49.7％of the participants,respectively.The three-category trajectories determined using the KML method were classified as low,medium,and high,accounting for 31.1％,47.4％,and 21.5％of the participants,respectively.There were certain differ-ences in the growth patterns reflected by the early childhood BMI trajectories determined using different methods.Linear regression analysis found that after adjusting for maternal ethnicity,educational level,delivery mode,parity,maternal age at delivery,gestational week at delivery,children's gender,and breastfeeding at 1 month of age,the association between the high trajectory group in the three-category trajectories determined by the KML method(manifested by a slightly higher BMI at birth,followed by rapid growth during infancy and a stable-high BMI until 24 months)and BMI Z-scores at 3 years was the strongest.Logistic regression analysis revealed that the three-category trajectory grouping determined by the KML method had the best predictive performance for the risk of overweight at 3 years.The results were basically consistent after additional adjustment for the high bound score of the child's diet balanced index,average daily physical activity time,and screen time.Conclusion:This study used different methods to identify early childhood BMI trajectories with varying characteristics,and found that the high trajectory group determined by the KML method was better able to identify children with a higher risk of overweight in early childhood.This provides scientific evidence for selecting appropriate methods to de-fine early childhood BMI trajectories.

Objective:To discuss the effect of cold exposure on nociception in the rats and its regulatory mechanism on transient receptor potential(TRP)ion channels in the sensory neurons,and to provide the basis for clarifying the biological mechanism of cold-sensitive pain.Methods:Sixteen female SD rats were divided into control group(n=8)and cold group(n=8).The rats in control group were exposed to the environment of(24±2)℃,and the rats in cold group were exposed to low temperature(4 ℃±1 ℃)in an artificial intelligence climate chamber for 4 h daily,for one week.Von Frey filaments were used to detect the mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT)of the rats in two groups;immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the expression levels of TRPA1,TRPM8,TRPV1,and TRPV4 in dorsal root ganglion(DRG)tissue of the rats in two groups,the expression levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)and substance P(SP)in DRG tissue of the rats in two groups,and the expression levels of TRPA1,TRPM8,TRPV1,and TRPV4 in synovial tissue of the rats in two groups.Results:Compared with control group,the MWT of the rats in cold group was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),the expression levels of TRPA1 and TRPM8 in DRG tissue were significantly increased(P＜0.05),the expression level of TRPV1 was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),there was no significant difference in the expression level of TRPV4(P＞0.05),and the expression levels of CGRP and SP were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the expression level of TRPA1 in synovial tissue of the rats in cold group was significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the expression levels of TRPM8,TRPV1,and TRPV4 were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Short-term cold exposure can induce the hyperalgesia of the rats,and its mechanism may be associated with the changes in the expression of TRP ion channels in DRG and synovial tissues.TRPA1 sensory neurons play an important role in local joint cold pain.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)or detecting the occurrence of acute rejection(AR)after heart transplantation(HT).Methods:From 2019 to 2021, 44 HT recipients are prospectively recruited from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital.Another 51 healthy volunteers are recruited from a local community as healthy controls.CMR studies are performed for obtaining baseline parameters.According to the clinicopathological diagnostic criteria of AR by the consensus of International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, 81 CMR studies of 44 HT recipients are further divided into two groups of AR (18 cases)and non-AR(71 cases). CMR parameters includ global ventricular structure/function, T2, T1, extracellular volume(ECV)and late gadolinium enhancement(LGE). A combined model is established by binary Logistic regression and receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC)constructed.Results:The age range is(41.8±16.8)years in 44 HT recipients and(41.8±9.7)years in 51 healthy controls.T1 mapping indicated that myocardial global ECV of left ventricle is significantly higher in AR patients than non-AR controls(32.4%±6.0% vs 28.5%±2.4%; P<0.001 9). Global native T1 is higher in AR group than that in non-AR group(49.8±3.1 vs 47.5±2.8 ms, P=0.009)and the difference is statistically significant.The cutoff value of global ECV is 30.62% with a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 86% for detecting AR.And T2 mapping reveale that T2 value of global left ventricle is significantly higher in AR group than that in non-AR group(49.8±3.1 vs 47.5±2.8 ms, P=0.009). LGE extent is significantly higher in AR group than those in non-AR group( P=0.004). Through including global native T1 and ECV into a logistic regression model, multiparametric CMR can yield an area under curve(AUC)of 0.794.It hints at the potential of CMR for detecting AR. Conclusions:Multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance offers an excellent predictive capacity for a noninvasive detection of AR.

Objective: This cross-sectional study explores the serial multiple mediation of the correlation between internet addiction and depression by social support and sleep quality of college students during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: We enrolled 2,688 students from a certain university in Wuhu, China. Questionnaire measures of internet addiction, social support, sleep quality, depression and background characteristics were obtained. Results: The prevalence of depression, among 2,688 college students (median age [IQR]=20.49 [20.0, 21.0] years) was 30.6%. 32.4% of the students had the tendency of internet addiction, among which the proportion of mild, moderate and severe were 29.8%, 2.5% and 0.1%, respectively. In our normal internet users and internet addiction group, the incidence of depression was 22.6% and 47.2%, respectively. The findings indicated that internet addiction was directly related to college students’ depression and indirectly predicted students’ depression via the mediator of social support and sleep quality. The mediation effect of social support and sleep quality on the pathway from internet addiction to depression was 41.97% (direct effect: standardized estimate=0.177; total indirect effect: standardized estimate= 0.128). The proposed model fit the data well. Conclusion Social support and sleep quality may continuously mediate the link between internet addiction and depression. Therefore, the stronger the degree of internet addiction, the lower the individual’s sense of social support and the worse the quality of sleep, which will ultimately the higher the degree of depression. We recommend strengthening monitoring of internet use during the COVID-19 epidemic, increasing social support and improving sleep quality, so as to reduce the risk of depression for college students.

Objective: To investigate the sleep quality and influencing factors of the first batch of college students returning to school during COVID-19 epidemic, so as to provide scientific basis for taking corresponding measures. Methods: An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among the first batch of college students returning from a certain university by cluster sampling, which included general demographic characteristics, Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI). Results: The detection rate of sleep disorders was 19.33%(522/2 701). The mother s education level was high school or technical secondary school or below(OR=2.24, 95%CI=1.47-3.41), never eat breakfast(OR=3.25, 95%CI=1.86-5.68), families were damaged during the outbreak (OR=1.48, 95%CI=1.17-1.87) and negative coping (OR=1.15, 95%CI=1.12-1.17) were risk factors for sleep disorders(P<0.05). Compared to having a very poor relationship with parents, the relationship between parents was average(OR=0.23, 95%CI=0.06-0.89), better(OR=0.23, 95%CI=0.06-0.87), very good (OR=0.19, 95%CI=0.05-0.74) were protective factors for sleep disorders(P<0.05). Exercise once or twice a week during the epidemic(OR=0.76, 95%CI=0.58-1.00), positive coping (OR=0.93, 95%CI=0.91-0.96) were protective factors for sleep disorders(P<0.05). Conclusion In this COVID-19 epidemic, the sleep quality of returning college students was affected to different extent, and the relationship between parents, sports, mother s education, breakfast habits, and family damage during the COVID-19 were factors affecting their sleep quality. Targeted psychological intervention measures should be given to returning college students in the early stage.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the state of depression and anxiety and assciated factors of back to school college students during the outbreak of COVID-19, so as to provide theoretical basis for emotional counseling and psychological crisis intervention after long term school closure due to epidemic outbreak. Methods: Cluster sampling was used to select the first batch of 2 697 back to school students in a high vocational college. The survey content includes basic information questionnaire, Depression Self rating Scale (SDS) and Anxiety Self rating Scale(SAS). Results: The detection rate of depression and anxiety was 31.8% and 10.4% respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of depression in female college students was 1.28 times higher than that in male students. The risk of depression among college students with family loss experience caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 was 1.30 times that of those without family loss experience caused by the outbreak of COVID-19. Outgoing personality(OR=0.62), neutral (OR=0.55) and mild temper(OR=0.46), moderate frequency of physical exercise per week(1-2 times:OR=0.73, 3-4 times:OR=0.65) were protective effects for depression in college students.Low frequency of breakfast were the risk effects for depression in college. The risk of anxiety among college students who was the only child in the family was 1.61 times higher than that who was not the only child in the family. The risk of anxiety among college students with family loss experience caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 was 1.45 times higher than that college students without family loss experience caused by the outbreak of COVID-19. Neutral temper, mild temper and physical exercise 1-2 times a week were associated with lower level of anxiety in college students(OR=0.67,0.56,0.67). Breakfast skipping (OR=2.03) was associated with higher levvel of anxiety in college students. Conclusion During the outbreak of COVID-19, the first batch of back to school college students presented high level of depression. Colleges are suggested to promptly carry out effective emotional relief and psychological intervention for students, especially those whose family suffered in COVID-19, the only child in the family, with poor breakfast eating habits, as well as breakfast skipping and lack of physical exercise.
