Objective:
To investigate the sleeping status of the first grade primary students aged 6-8 in Beijing, to investigate the association between maternal parenting stress and children s sleep, and to inform intervention of addressing sleep problems among children in Beijing.
Methods:
Online survey was conducted based on the child cohort study designed to study puberty, obesity, and cardiovascular risk (PROC). The Children s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI-SF) were completed by parents, and 1 136 school aged children and their mothers were included as study participants. Logistic regression models were used to determine the association between maternal parenting stress and children s sleep.
Results:
The prevalence of sleep problems among first grade primary students was 78.52%. Among the children who received PSI-SF, the score of children with sleeping problems(86.66±17.31) was higher than that of the children with no sleeping problems(78.59±17.75)( t =6.42, P <0.01). After adjusting sociodemographic characteristics, multivariable logistic regression results showed children of mothers with parenting stress were more likely to have sleep problems ( OR =2.52, 95% CI =1.55-4.11, P <0.01). Taking 3 dimensions in PSI-SF as independent variables, the analysis indicated that compared with the children having mothers free from parental stress and difficult children, the children with mothers with parental stress were more likely to suffer from the sleeping problems( OR = 1.66 ,1.76, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Sleep problems are prevalent among first grade primary students, and it underscores providing psychological support to alleviate maternal parenting stress to address children s sleep problems.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of the dominant B-cell epitope peptide of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL95 gene, as well as the correlation between the plasma UL95 specific antibody levels and clinical indicators in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, in order to find auxiliary diagnostic indicators for SLE.Methods:A non-randomized control study was conducted to analyze the sequencial characteristics and polymorphisms of HCMV UL95 gene, and bioinformatics analysis and chemical synthesis were used to synthesize UL95 dominant B cell epitope short peptides, which were used as coating antigens. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay was used to detect the specific antibody levels of plasma UL95 of 97 SLE patients and 35 healthy controls (HC). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of UL95 short peptide antibodies for SLE diagnosis. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between UL95 specific antibody levels and clinical indicators in SLE patients.Results:The nucleotide sequence similarity of UL95 gene was 92.9%-100%, and the amino acid sequence similarity was 92.1%-100%, whose sequences were highly conserved and homologous. A comprehensive prediction of multiple parameters resulted in 6 possible dominant B cell epitopes, named (Bp1, Bp2, Bp3, Bp4, Bp5, Bp6) respectively. The ELISA results showed that the levels of plasma UL95 specific antibodies (0.35±0.12) in SLE patients were significantly higher than those of the HC group (0.28±0.10)( t=3.091, P=0.002). The area under the ROC curve for distinguishing SLE and HC was 0.703, with a sensitivity of 54.6% and a specificity of 88.6%. In addition, the UL95 specifific antibody levels ( OD value) in the middle-high activity subgroup (systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index, SLEDAI≥4) were higher (0.36±0.10) than those in the low activity subgroup (SLEDAI<4)(0.30±0.07) ( t=?2.055, P=0.044). UL95 specific antibody levels were positively correlated with clinical indicators such as total immunoglobulin G (IgG) and total immunoglobulin M (IgM), while negatively correlated with complement component 3 (C3), complement component 4 (C4), and platelet count. Conclusions:The antibody level of UL95 is closely related to the activity of lupus disease. The Bp1 (10-21) peptide segment of UL95 has important significance for the auxiliary diagnosis of SLE and is expected to become a new reference indicator.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(4):536-539
Objective:
This study aims to investigate the willingness and influencing factors of COVID-19 vaccination among Chinese middle school students, and to provide a reference for promoting the implementation of COVID-19 vaccination among middle school students.
Methods:
An online survey was conducted among middle school students in Beijing, Anqing of Anhui Province, Xi an of Shaanxi Province and Shenzhen of Guangdong Province, and 9 153 participants were enrolled in the present study. Single factor analysis and multinomial Logistic regression was used to determine the related factors of COVID-19 vaccination willingness.
Results:
The prevalence of vaccine acceptance, vaccine hesitancy and vaccine refusal among middle school students were 60.05%, 31.59% and 8.36%, respectively. The results of Chi square analysis showed there were significant difference of COVID-19 vaccination willingness among sex, school residence, grade, region, vaccination willingness of surrounding classmates, vaccination willingness of others, fear of SARS-CoV-2 and risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection( χ 2=8.43-1 059.43, P <0.05). Multinomial Logistic regression analysis presented that, compared to "vaccine acceptance" group, those girls, non resident in school, living in Beijing or Anqing, disagree or uncertain with influenced by peers, disagree or uncertain with influenced by others, uncertain with fear of SARS-CoV-2, disagree or uncertain with having risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection were more likely to show vaccine hesitancy( OR =1.22,1.21,1.49,1.69,1.75,2.54,1.41,2.32,3.32,1.99,2.38, P <0.05). And those non boarding in school, living in Beijing or Xi an, disagree or uncertainty influenced by peers, disagree or uncertainty influenced by others, disagree with fear of SARS- CoV- 2, disagree or uncertainty in having risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection were more likely to show vaccine refusal ( OR =1.27, 2.29 ,1.46,3.88,2.37,2.31,1.47,2.14,4.24,1.47, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The willingness of COVID-19 vaccination among middle school students in four cities is low, and targeted interventions should be advocated to form herd immunity.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(3):432-435
Objective:
To explore the association of body fat mass and distribution indices including fat mass percentage (FMP), visceral fat area (VFA) and percentage of trunk fat mass (%TFM) with blood pressure in children to inform early management of blood pressure in children.
Methods:
Based on the Beijing Child Growth and Health Cohort in Shunyi District, lifestyle questionnaire survey, baseline and follow up physical examination were conducted among children from October to November 2018 and September 2020. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to measure the body composition, and 1 098 participants with completed data were finally included.
Results:
Both body fat indices and blood pressure increased with age in boys and girls. For FMP, VFA, and %TFM, no significant differences presented between sex at baseline, while FMP, VFA, and %TFM were significantly higher in boys than girls at follow up ( t=2.73, 3.76, 3.41, P <0.01). Before and after adjusting for age, height and lifestyles or not, linear mixed effect models showed longitudinal associations existing between body fat indices and blood pressure in both boys and girls ( β=0.64-3.48, P <0.05). The association coefficients of body fat indices with systolic blood pressure were ranked as %TFM>FMP>VFA in both boys and girls. The association coefficients of body fat indices with diastolic blood pressure were ranked sequentially as FMP>%TFM>VFA in boys, and VFA>FMP>%TFM in girls.
Conclusion
Longitudinal associations are observed between body fat indices and blood pressure in children. Primordial prevention of high pressure should pay attention on body fat distribution.
10.Sex differences in the growth and physical development of Beijing school aged children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(4):510-514
Objective:
The study aimed to explore sex differences in the growth and physical development of Beijing school-aged children and adolescents.
Methods:
Data obtained from regular health examinations of 94 122 school-aged children and adolescents aged 6-18 years old were collected from primary and high schools in Shunyi District from 2009 to 2018, and a longitudinal dataset was compiled with complete anthropometric parameters including height, weight, and BMI levels after linkage of individuallevel information. The age-specific growth rate was calculated and a linear mixed-effects model was used to identify sex differences according to chronological or relative age to peak height velocity (PHA).
Results:
Height, weight, and BMI levels increased with age in both boys and girls. Girls were taller than boys in the 10-11 year-old age group, catch-up growth in height was observed in boys at age 12, whose height surpassed that of girls thereafter. Boys had a higher weight and BMI than girls in all age groups (P<0.01). Sex differences were found in the growth rates of height, weight, and BMI levels(t=-67.56,-47.46,3.22,P<0.01), which was demonstrated by the interaction effect of sex and age in the linear mixed-effects model. The PHA in boys was 12 years old, which was two years later than the PHA in girls. Boys reached peak weight velocity at 12 years old, lagging one year behind girls who reached their peak at 11 years old. The curves of the BMI growth rate with age showed double peaks in boys and the first peak appeared at 10 years, which was one year earlier than girls. The change in weight was highly synchronized in time with the increase in height, after adjusting for the growth rate of weight by PHA. Weight velocity increased with age before the onset of puberty until PHA, and then it declined; boys presented with obvious fat accumulation before the onset of puberty.
Conclusion
Sex differences in the growth and physical development of school-aged children and adolescents were persistent and apparent, and the change in weight was highly synchronized in time with the increase in height.
