Objective:To investigate the relationship between different obesity phenotypes and abnormal blood pressure in children and adolescents in Yinchuan city, and to provide appropriate treatment and intervention measures for obese children and adolescents.Methods:The current research design was adopted to facilitate the cluster sampling.A total of 1 047 children and adolescents aged 12 to 18 in Yinchuan were enrolled in this study from September 2017 to September 2018.There were 530 males and 517 females, with an average age of (13.93±1.24) years old.The questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory testing were carried out.Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 19.0 software.Results:Among the children and adolescents with normal weight, the composition ratio of the metabolically unhealthy normal-weight (MUNW) phenotype was 7.6%.In the obese cases, the composition ratio of the metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) phenotype was 20.2%.The blood pressure of MUNW [systolic pressure SBP: (119±13) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa); diastolic pressure(DBP)(74±10) mmHg] and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) [SBP (127±10) mmHg; DBP(74±7) mmHg] phenotypes were significantly higher than those of the metabolically healthy normal-weight (MHNW) phenotype (all P<0.05). The blood pressure of the MUO [SBP(127±10) mmHg; DBP(74±7) mmHg] phenotype was significantly higher than that of the MHO phenotype ( P<0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, and family history of hypertension, MUNW and MUO phenotypes were 5.93 (95% CI: 3.10-11.36) and 11.63 (95% CI: 6.37-21.24) times more likely to develop blood pressure abnormalities than MHNW phenotypes, respectively ( P<0.001). The MHO phenotype was 0.63 (95% CI: 0.08-4.93) times more likely to develop blood pressure abnormalities than the MHNW phenotype ( P=0.66). Conclusions:The MHO phenotype does not increase the risk of abnormal blood pressure, while the MUNW phenotype does.Therefore, it is recommended to identify the MHO phenotype and MUNW phenotype in order to provide appropriate obesity treatment and interventions for children and adolescents.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of plasma glucose, insulin secretion and changes of insulin resistance (IR) after a glucose load in obese children, and to predict islet β-cell function. Methods A total of 635 obese children were classified into normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group (n=483), impaired glucose regulation (IGR) group (n=112) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) group (n=40) based on their glucose levels. Subjects were also divided into G1 group (23 kg/m2≤BMI<30 kg/m2, n=393) and G2 group (BMI≥30 kg/m2, n=242) based on their different BMI levels. Level of fast plasma glucose (FPG, 0.5 h-PG, 1 h-PG, 2 h-PG and 3 h-PG) and insulin (FINS, 0.5 h-INS, 1 h-INS, 2 h-INS and 3 h-INS) were measured 0 h, 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h and 3 h after a glucose load. Insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), whole body insulin sensitivity index (WBISI), function of pancreatic beta-cell (HOMA-β), first-phase insulin secretion index (ΔI30/ΔG30) and area under curve of insulin (AUCI) were calculated and compared between groups. Results The value of insulin at each time point was significantly higher in IGR group than that of NGT group. The values of insulin at 0.5 h, 1 h, and 2 h were significantly lower in DM group than those of IGR group, respectively (all P<0.05). Compared with NGT group, AUCI, HOMA-IR and HOMA-β increased, but WBISI and ΔI30/ΔG30 decreased in IGR group (all P<0.05). HOMA-IR increased but WBISI, HOMA-βandΔI30/ΔG30 decreased in DM group (all P<0.05). Compared with IGR group, AUCI, HOMA-βandΔI30/ΔG30 decreased in DM group (all P<0.05). Values of FINS, AUCI, HOMA-IR, 2h-PG and HOMA-βwere significantly higher in G2 group than those of G1 group, but WBISI decreased (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in FPG and ΔI30/ΔG30 between these two groups. Conclusion From NGT, IGR to DM, the peak of insulin secretion is postponed, insulin resistance is getting heavier and the compensation of insulin secretion after a glucose load is increased first and then decreased.

Objective To investigate the application value of three-dimensional shear wave elastography( 3D-SWE) in diagnosis of malignant and benign breast masses . Methods Sixty-seven patients with total 96 masses diagnosed by ultrasound and verified with surgical pathological analysis were selected . The masses were divided into benign group ( 54 masses ) and malignant group ( 42 masses ) . The quantitative diagnosis was performed using two-dimensional shear wave elastography ( 2D-SWE) and 3D-SWE to evaluate the hardness of the masses . Receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curves of 2D-SWE and 3D-SWE were drawn to calculate the sensibility and specificity in diagnosis of breast masses . The qualitative diagnosis was performed according to the elastic color image classification to classify the elastic images of the lesions into type Ⅰ - Ⅳ . Results The quantitative diagnosis:① There were significant differences in Emean ,Emax and SD on planes of 2D-SWE and three orthogonal planes of 3D-SWE between the two groups ( P <0 .05) ;② There was no significant difference in Emean ,Emax and SD of two groups between 2D-SWE and 3D-SWE ( P > 0 .05) ;③ Emean ,Emax and SD on planes of 2D-SWE and three orthogonal planes of 3D- SWE both exhibited high diagnostic performance . However , there was no significant difference in Emean ,Emax and SD between 2D-SWE and 3D-SWE ( P >0 .05) . The qualitative diagnosis of elastic color mode:type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ account for most planes of 2D-SWE and three orthogonal planes of 3D-SWE in benign masses ,while type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ account for most in malignant masses . Among the malignant group ,type Ⅲ on the 3D-SWE coronal planes was significantly more than other three types ( P < 0 .05) .Conclusions For quantitative diagnosis ,2D-SWE and 3D-SWE are both beneficial to differentiate benign from malignant masses ,but there is no difference in diagnostic efficacy ;for qualitative diagnosis ,3D-SWE can provide more diagnostic information than 2D-SWE ,especially on the coronal planes of 3D-SWE .

Objective:
To analyze the association between fat mass percentage (FMP) and waist circumference (WC) with cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents in Yinchuan City, and to provide a reference for preventing and contyolling the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases among children and adolescents.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey, physical examination, body composition determination and biochemical tests were conducted among 1 043 children aged 12-18 years in Yinchuan selected through a convenient cluster sampling method.
Results:
Among boys and girls, both FMP and WC were associated with high rate of high blood pressure and high TG in children and adolescents(P<0.01). The increased risk of metabolic abnormalities by FMP and WC were 1.14-2.36 times and 1.32-2.09 times, respectively. About 4.9%-22.1% of cardiovascular disease risk was explained by the combination of FMP and WC, which was significantly higher than separate interpretation of FMP or WC (3.5%-22.0%). Standardized regression coefficient for TC and LDL-C (0.25 and 0.22) was greater than WC (0.17 and 0.14) by FMP, and the absolute value of the standardized regression coefficient for SBP, DBP, TG, HDL-C was less than WC by FMP. The predictive risk for high blood pressure, high TG, high TC, low HDL-C and high LDL-C by combination of FMP and WC was 3.67(95%CI=2.42-556), 3.09(95%CI=2.04-4.69), 3.37(95%CI=1.38-8.28), 2.00(95%CI=1.35-2.98) and 4.73(95%CI=2.15-10.44) times higher than different combinations risk groups(P<0.01).
Conclusion
The ability of fat mass percentage and waist circumference to predict the risk of cardiovascular risk factors is similar. It might be used as a predictor of cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents. It is recommended to combine FMP with WC to predict the risk of cardiovascular disease among children and adolescents.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of "standardized 4 steps" in rheumatic mitral valve repair.Methods:We retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 136 rheumatic mitral valve disease patients undergoing mitral valve repair with "standardized 4 steps" from June 2016 to July 2019 and investigate its clinical outcome. The clinical outcome was compared with those of patients undergoing rheumatic mitral valve replacement.Results:The perioperative mortality was 2.94% in patients with mitral valve repair. Compared with preoperative period, left atrial diameter was significantly reduced and the early diastolic blood flow velocity across mitral valve(E peak) was significantly decreased at 1-week postoperative and follow-up period. The elimination rate of atrial fibrillation was 80.7% during follow-up period. The early clinical outcome and related complications had no difference between mitral repair group and mitral valve replacement group. The main echocardiographic indexes in two groups also had no statistical significance.Conclusion:The early clinical outcome of rheumatic mitral valve repair with "standardized 4 steps" is satisfactory. Rheumatic mitral valve repair with "standardized 4 steps" is feasible, safe and effective.

Heat shock protein A9 (HSPA9), a member of the heat shock protein family, is a putative receptor for Tembusu virus (TMUV). By using Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation assays, E protein domains I and II were identified as the functional domains that facilitate HSPA9 binding. Twenty-five overlapping peptides covering domain I and domain II sequences were synthesized and analyzed by using an HSPA9 binding assay. Two peptides showed the capability of binding to HSPA9. Dot blot assay of truncated peptides indicated that amino acid residues 19 to 22 and 245 to 252 of E protein constitute the minimal motifs required for TMUV binding to HSPA9. Importantly, peptides harboring those two minimal motifs could effectively inhibit TMUV infection. Our results provide insight into TMUV-receptor interaction, thereby creating opportunities for elucidating the mechanism of TMUV entry.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the morbidity of congenital heart defects(CHDs) in children with anorectal malformation, and to summarize appropriate treatment.
METHODS:
The clinical data and echocardiographic findings of 155 children with congenital anorectal malformations from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during January 2016 and October 2019 were reviewed. According to the surgical findings of anorectal malformations, the patients were categorized as the high/intermediate group and the low group; the CHDs were classified as minor CHDs and major CHDs. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation of wingspread classification, and extracardiac malformations with the severity of CHDs.
RESULTS:
Out of 155 children with anorectal malformations, 47 (30.3%) had different types of cardiac structural malformations, including 18 cases of minor CHDs (11.6%) and 29 cases of major CHDs (18.7%). Sixty children (38.7%) had extracardiac malformations, of which 38 cases (24.5%) had a single extracardiac malformation, 15 cases (9.7%) had multiple extracardiac malformations, 6 had trisomy 21 syndrome, and 1 had VATER syndrome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that wingspread classification of anorectal malformation and extracardiac disorders were independent risk factors for major CHDs. The probability of major CHDs in children with high/intermediate anorectal malformation was 4.709 times higher than that with low anorectal malformation (
CONCLUSIONS
The morbidity of major CHDs is higher in severe cases with high/intermediate anorectal malformation and acute cases without fistula or with obstructed fistula and cases with multiple congenital disorders. Echocardiography can define the type and severity of CHDs, which are useful to develop the optimal diagnosis and treatment plan for children with anorectal malformation.
