Objective To evaluate the effect of exogenous wild PTEN gene stable transfected into human ovarian cancer cell line HO-8910 on phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase( PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)siganal pathway and cells proliferation. Methods Wild-type PTEN recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid was constructed and then was transfected into HO-8910 cells by lipofectamine 2000. The expression of PTEN, Akt1, Akt2, PI3K mRNA and protein of PTEN were tested by reverse transcription( RT)-PCR and Western blot. The proliferation of HO-8910 after wild PTEN gene transfected was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT). Results Wild-type PTEN gene was successfully transfected into HO-8910 cells. The results of RT-PCR and western bolt showed that there were the significant expression high level of PTEN mRNA and protein after infected by wild-PTEN plasmid than those in the control[ ( 17 372 ±23)vs.(39±1 )vs. (78 ±4)copies/ml,P <0. 05 ]. While the expression of mRNA of Akt1, Akt2 and PI3K were decreased clearly than those in the control [ (28 ± 2 ) vs. ( 115 ± 5 ), (7 ± 1 ) vs. ( 18 ± 2), (61 ± 2 ) vs.(84 ± 2)copies/ml , all P < 0. 05 ]. The proliferation rate of HO-8910 cells was obviously slower than those in the control (90 158 ±47 vs. 148 251 ±65 vs. 250 115 ±62, P<0.05). Conclusion Transfection of PTEN may increase the expression of PTEN and inhibit the proliferation of HO-8910 cells, in which PI3K/ Akt siganal pathway is inhibit significantly.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of eczema in children in order provide reference for the prevention and treatment of eczema.
Methods:
Two primary schools in a district of Shenyang were randomly selected to conduct a questionnaire survey on 2 240 students in May 2017. Children with eczema need to be diagnosed by a doctor.
Results:
There were 838 cases of eczema with a reported rate of 37.4%, 38.7% in boys and 36.1% in girls. The age of 6 to 12 months was the peak period of first eczema in children, and the proportion of eczema within 1 year was up to about 70%. Children who have had eczema in the past were now more likely to catch a cold, and the reported rates of allergic rhinitis, asthma and food allergies were also significantly higher. The Logistic regression analysis showed that the mother was unhappy during pregnancy(OR=1.32,95%CI=1.03-1.69), the parents were more educated (OR=1.60, 95%CI=1.19-2.16), and the parents were allergic (OR=1.58,95%CI=1.07-2.33;OR=1.41, 95%CI=1.02-1.94), family history of diabetes(OR=1.95, 95%CI=1.41-2.68), and cesarean(OR=1.33, 95%CI=1.07-1.65) were risk factors of eczema in children.
Conclusion
The incidence of children eczema is affected by maternal mood during pregnancy, family factors and delivery mode. It is of practical significance to prevent children eczema in early development for reducing the incidence of other allergic diseases in the future.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(5):788-791
Abstract
MiRNAs are a type of single-stranded, endogenous, non-coding small RNAs, which can regulate the post-transcriptional expression of genes and a variety of biological functions. Puberty development involves a complex regulatory network, among which the the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis may play the key role. Studies have found that there was a relationship between the miRNAs and puberty development. The absence and abnormal expression of miRNAs can affect the initiation of puberty. But the mechanism is not clear. It may be related to the secretion of GnRH in the hypothalamus. This article mainly introduced several miRNAs which were currently closely related to the initiation of puberty, and reviewed their role and possible mechanisms in the initiation of puberty.

Objective:
To understand the prevalence of overweight and obesity, dietary habits and main food intake frequency among primary school students in Shenyang, so as to provide a reference for exploring the effect of diet related factors on the development of overweight and obesity in children.
Methods:
A total of 2 041 students from two primary schools in a certain district of Shenyang were selected by convenience sampling in May 2017, with height and weight measured, meanwhile the questionnaire survey regarding dietary habits and the frequency of main food intake were administered.
Results:
The rates of overweight and obesity were 18.4% and 22.1% respectively, and the rate of overweight and obesity in boys (21.0%,27.8%) were significantly higher than that in girls (15.8%,16.2%)(χ 2=22.45,53.40,P<0.01). The results of univariate analysis showed that frequency of eating breakfast, eating speed, appetite, picky eaters or not, and the frequency of fruit, seafood and canned food intake were associated with overweight and obesity in primary school students (χ 2=7.67,97.92,229.70,95.88,6.40,6.58,7.96,P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that slow eating speed (OR=0.46, 95%CI=0.29-0.69) and normal eating speed (OR=0.47, 95%CI=0.32-0.69) were associated with lower rates of overweight and obesity; good appetite (OR=43.73, 95%CI=5.88-325.36) was associated with higher rates of overweight and obesity in primary school students (P<0.01).
Conclusion
The detection rate of overweight and obesity is relatively high among primary school students in Shenyang, and the rate of obesity is already higher than that of overweight; The frequency of common food intake has little impact on the development of overweight and obesity in primary school students, but fast eating speed and good appetite are the risks of overweight and obesity among them.
