Objective To analyze the impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and its coded X gene (HBx) expression on cell gene expression profile,especially the immune related gene expression level changes.Methods Overexpressed HBx gene was transiently transfected through lenti-virus and pcDNA3,the RNA-Seq and RT-qPCR methods were used to detect the expression levels of immune related genes,which were verified in HBV replication cell line.Results This study found that the HBV replication and HBx expression suppressed the expression of immune checkpoint PD-1 ligand gene (PD-L1/CD274) in a dose-dependent manner,while the expression of H-box mutant in HBx gene lost this inhibition effect.Conclusion HBV/HBx possesses the ability for inhibiting PD-L1/CD274 ligand gene expression,may relieve the checkpoint of antigen-specific T cell activation in viral infection acute stage,activates cytotoxic T cells,which may cause that T cell attack and clear highly replicated cells,helps virus to enter the lower replication status,and reaches the balance status between virus-host and lays a basis of HBV chronic infection.

Objective:To explore the relationship between family cumulative risk, non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation, school climate and depression of junior high school students.Methods:From June to September 2022, a total of 1 136 junior high school students were surveyed by the family cumulative risk questionnaire, the cognitive emotion regulation strategy questionnaire, the self-rating depression scale for children and school climate scale.The mediating effect of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation and the moderating effect of school climate were tested by the Macro program PROCESS of SPSS 25.0 software.Results:Family cumulative risk score was 1.00(2.00), non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation score was 21.00(8.00) and depression score was 7.00(9.00). (2) Family cumulative risk was significantly positively correlated with non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation( r=0.28, P<0.01) and depression( r=0.43, P<0.01). There was a significantly positive correlation between non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation and depression( r=0.41, P<0.01), and a significantly negative correlation between school climate and depression( r=-0.56, P<0.01). (3) Non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation played a partial mediating role between family cumulative risk and depression, and the direct effect and mediating effect accounted for 80.49%(0.33/0.41) and 19.51%(0.08/0.41)of the total effect respectively.(4) School climate played a moderating role in the influence of family cumulative risk on non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation. Under the condition of the level of school climate was high, the positive predicting effect of family cumulative risk on non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation was significantly enhanced( Bsimple=0.34, P<0.001). Conclusion:Family cumulative risk plays a certain role in depression through the mediation of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the regulation of school climate in junior high school students.

ObjectiveTo understand the utilization of preconception healthcare services and the influencing factors among the women expecting additional childbirth in Jiading District, Shanghai, and to provide references for promoting the utilization of preconception healthcare services under the new population policy. MethodsA questionnaire survey on the utilization of preconception healthcare services and related influencing factors was carried out among 682 women expecting additional childbirth across six subdistricts in Jiading District, Shanghai. The results were statistically analyzed. ResultsThe average age of the women was (31.7±4.5) years, 30.2% of whom were ≥35 years old. The proportion of women having their third or subsequent children was low, at 16.4%. A significant majority, 92.4%, were found to have various risk factors during initial pregnancy screening. The utilization rate of preconception healthcare services among women seeking additional childbirth was relatively low at 26.7%. Awareness of the free preconception check-up program in Jiading District was also low at 28.6%, and the utilization rate for these services was even lower at 7.69%. Unplanned pregnancies were the primary reason for not utilizing preconception healthcare services, accounting for 63.6%. The results of multifactorial binary logistic regression analysis showed that the utilization rate of preconception healthcare services before the current pregnancy was higher for women aged between 35 and 39 compared to women aged ≤29 years old (OR=1.789, 95%CI: 1.033‒3.099). Women with planned pregnancies had a higher utilization of preconception healthcare services prior to this pregnancy (OR=4.164, 95%CI: 2.627‒6.602). Women who had received preconception care prior to their first birth had a higher utilization rate of preconception care prior to the current pregnancy (OR=7.534, 95%CI: 4.954‒11.456). Women without a family history of chronic diseases had a higher utilization rate of preconception healthcare services (OR=1.903, 95%CI: 1.083‒3.345). ConclusionUnder the context of three-child policy, the proportion of women seeking three or more children in Jiading District is low. Most of these women have risk factors identified during initial pregnancy screenings. The utilization rate of preconception healthcare services and the awareness of the free preconception screening program in Jiading District are both low. Unplanned pregnancies remain the primary reason for failing to receive timely preconception healthcare services. Age, whether the pregnancy was planned, whether the women had received preconception healthcare services before their first baby and family history of chronic diseases are the main factors affecting the utilization of preconception healthcare services. Relevant departments should enhance the promotion of preconception healthcare service programs, especially for women of childbearing age who have not yet given birth, so as to improve the utilization rate of preconception health care services.
