Objective · To understand boys' pubertal timing in school in two urban districts of Chongqing and explore the relationship between pubertal timing and physical activity or sleeping time. Methods · Using a stratified random cluster sampling, 3403 boy students (10-18 year-old) were selected and completed the physical examination and questionnaire survey. 1282 participants experiencing first spermatorrhea were chosen as research objects. According to age of first spermatorrhea, the objects were divided into on-time group (964 cases) and later group (318 cases). Results · The composition of weekly high (χ2=11.488, P=0.009), medium (χ2=7.829, P=0.050) physical activity and daily sleeping time (χ2=17.803, P=0.000) in two groups were significantly different. Controlling covariates (age, height and weight), compared with boys in on-time group, later group boys were less likely to engage in 5-7 days (OR=0.596, 95% CI: 0.367-0.967) and 3-4 days (OR=0.590, 95% CI: 0.370-0.941) high physical activity every week, and 9-11 h (OR=0.207, 95% CI: 0.088-0.489) sleep every day. Conclusion · The age of first spermatorrhea in boys might be associated with the intensity of weekly physical activity and daily sleeping time.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP-A).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. Data of 14 patients with GFAP-A, admitted to Department of Neurology, Chenzhou First People's Hospital from December 1, 2020 to May 1, 2022, were collected.Results:The mean age of these 14 patients was (46±31) years, and the male patients were more than female ones (10∶4). All patients had acute onset, and the main clinical symptoms included dizziness and headache ( n=10), fever ( n=8), urination and defecation function disturbance ( n=5), mental and behavioral abnormality ( n=4), limb weakness ( n=4), and tremor ( n=3). No tumors were found; 8 patients were with hyponatremia. Twelve patients responded well to hormone and/or immunosuppressive therapy; 2 patients refused corticosteroid and/or immunosuppressive therapy for personal reasons, and their condition did not improve at discharge. Conclusion:In these GFAP-A patients, relatively heterogeneous clinical manifestations are noted; many are complicated with hyponatremia, and some have clinical manifestations similar to nervous system infectious diseases; the prognosis is good after immunotherapy.
