Objective To explore the abnormally functional brain regions of female patients with depression by resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),and analyze the correlation with the severity of depressive symptoms.Methods 32 female patients diagnosed with depressive disorder and 40 matched healthy controls completed resting state fMRI scans.The whole brain's regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation(ALFF) were calculated,and the correlation analysis be tween ReHo and ALFF of brain regions with significant difference and the severity of depressive symptoms was conducted.Results Compared with control group,the left precuneus/left cuneus (MNI:-18,-81,45),bilateral precentral gyrus (MNI:-58,-5,35 and 57,-6,33),left inferior parietal lobule (MNI:-42,-36,45) and right inferior temporal gyrus(MN1:60,-45,-18) (P＜0.05,corrected by AlphaSim)in the case group showed significantly decreased ReHo,with statistical significance.Compared with control group,the left cuneus(MNI:-3,-87,30),right inferior temporal gyrus(MNI:60,-48,-18) and left precentral gyrus(MNI:-63,-3,26) (P＜0.05,corrected by AlphasSim)in the case group showed significantly decreased ALFF.The ReHo in the right inferior temporal gyrus was negative correlated with the HAMD-17 total score and retarda tion factor(r=-0.484,P=0.017;r=-0.408,P=0.048),the ALFF in the right inferior temporal gyrus was positively correlated with weight factor(r=0.574,P=0.003),and negative correlated with the number of depressive episodes(r=-0.416,P=0.043).Conclusion Female with depression in resting state have several abnormally functional brain regions and the extent of damage is correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms.Combination of the two parameters may yield a more comprehensive pathophy-siological mechanism for depressive disorder.

Objective: To analyze the cumulative effect of preadolescent lifestyles on the prevalence and incidence of elevated blood pressure (EBP) in children, and to provide evidence for early hypertensive intervention. Methods: In 2017, a cohort study on pubertal development was conducted in Xiamen, Fujian Province. Participants underwent a physical examination and questionnaire survey. Between 2017 and 2019, this study carried out a 2-year follow-up of 1 316 students whose complete data were obtained. Preadolescent lifestyles were assessed by referring to baseline survey results obtained in 2017, and the prevalence and incidence of EBP were determined according to blood pressure levels that were determined in 2019. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence of healthy lifestyles on the prevalence and incidence of EBP after adjusted for confounding factors. Results: The prevalence of EBP in 2017 and 2019 was 25.0% and 23.3%, respectively, and its incidence was 18.9% after the 2-year follow-up. Children with a healthy lifestyle had a lower prevalence and incidence of EBP. The regression analysis showed that children who have more healthy lifestyle factors were at a lower risk of EBP (P<0.05). Compared with students with 0-2 healthy lifestyle factors, the OR value of EBP prevalence was 0.52 (95% CI=0.30-0.90) and the RR value of EBP incidence was 0.60(95%CI=0.29-1.22) in children with 4-5 healthy lifestyle factors. Among them, children who were overweight or obese were at a significantly lower risk of EBP prevalence (OR=0.29, 95%CI=0.10-0.81). Conclusion Preadolescent lifestyles seemed to have a cumulative effect on the occurrence of EBP. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle had a positive effect on reducing the risk of EBP, particularly in overweight and obese children, and this was due to their adoption of a comprehensive healthy lifestyle.

Objective To explore the changes of Beclin-1,P62/SQSTM1,microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)and unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK-1)in the brains of the rats in the deve-lopmental stage with epilepsy. Methods Seventy-two male Sprague Dawley (SD)rats aged 21 days were randomly divided into the control group and the epilepsy group. The rats in 2 groups were randomly subdivided into 4 groups according to the time intervals (3 h,6 h,12 h and 48 h),respectively,with 9 rats in each group. The rats in the epilep-sy group were injected with kainic acid (12 mg/kg)to induce epilepsy,and the rats in the control group were injected with equal volume of saline. The rats in 2 groups were anaesthetized and sacrificed. Then,the brain tissues of the rats were quickly removed according to the time intervals. The brain damages were determined by adopting Nissl staining method. The apoptotic cells were detected by Terminal - deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL)assays. The expressions of Beclin-1,P62/SQSTM1,LC3 and ULK-1 mRNA levels in cortex were mea-sured by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)analysis. Results Nissl staining indicated that many neurons were damaged performing vague outline,irregularly aligned,pyknotic nuclei and shrunken somata in the epilepsy 48 h group. In addition,there was a huge loss of neurons in cortex in the epilepsy 48 h group [(82 ± 8)num-bers],compared with the control group [(122 ± 8)numbers],and the difference was statistically significant (F＝3. 768, P＝0. 01). The apoptotic cells tremendously increased in the epilepsy 48 h group [(13 ± 7)numbers],compared with the control group [(2 ± 1)numbers]by TUNEL analysis,and the diffe-rence was statistically significant (t＝ -3. 821, P＝0. 003). qPCR showed the mRNA levels of Beclin-1,P62/SQSTM1,LC3 and ULK-1 were upregulated in the epi-lepsy 12 h group (1. 70 ± 0. 75,1. 75 ± 0. 77,1. 52 ± 0. 43,7. 48 ± 6. 12)and the epilepsy 48 h group (1. 63 ± 0. 43, 1. 48 ± 0. 74,1. 74 ± 0. 55,7. 69 ± 5. 65),compared with the control group (1. 00,1. 00,1. 00,1. 00),and the differences were statistically significant (F＝2. 820,3. 452,5. 811,5. 002,all P＜0. 05). Conclusion The autophagy activates be-fore apoptosis occurs,and autophagy-related genes probably are involved in epilepsy-induced brain damage.

Objective: To analyze the association between masculine and feminine traits, gender role in students and family factors, and to provide a scientific basis for promoting the healthy development of children and adolescents gender role. Methods: Cluster random sampling method was used to selected 823 students from 2 schools of Xiamen in May, 2018, participants were asked to report individual masculine and feminine traits through the Child s Sex Role Inventory, and then gender role was divided into four types (masculine, feminine, androgynous, undifferentiated). Non parametric tests, generalized linear model, and Logistic regression model were used to explore the association between masculine and feminine traits, gender role and family factors. Results: Compared with the boys from the nuclear family, the masculine traits were lower in boys of other families by 0.282( 95% CI = -0.452 --0.110), and the feminine traits were also lower by 0.192 (95% CI =-0.369--0.014). Compared with boys of middle socioeconomic status (SES), the masculine traits of boys from low SES decreased by 0.157 (95% CI =-0.286--0.029), and the feminine traits decreased by 0.140 (95% CI =-0.274--0.005). The proportion of androgynous in boys from other families was significantly lower than boys from the nuclear family ( OR =0.45, 95% CI =0.21-0.94), with the proportion of undifferentiated significantly higher than nuclear family 2.33 (95% CI =1.22-4.44). The proportion of androgynous in boys from low SES was significantly lower than boys from middle SES ( OR =0.59, 95% CI =0.35-0.99), with the proportion of undifferentiated significantly higher than middle SES 1.62 (95% CI =1.00-2.65). Among girls, the differences in masculine and feminine traits and gender role of different family factors were not statistically significant ( P >0.05). Conclusion The masculine and feminine traits and gender role in students are associated with family structures and socioeconomic status, especially in boys. Therefore, the family environment is an important factor affecting children s gender role, and the healthy development of children s gender role needs parents attention and correct guidance.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effects of miR-15 b-5 p on choroid melanoma cell line proliferation by targeting CDK4.Methods Dual-luciferase assay was used to verify the direct binding site between miR-15 b-5 p and CDK4 3'-UTR. MUM-2 B cells were cultured in vitro and transfected with negative control RNA, miR-15 b-5 p mimics, inhibitor normal control (nc) RNA, and miR-15 b-5 p inhibitor. qRT-PCR was used to detect miR-15 b-5 p expression, Western blotting was used to measure the expression levels of CDK4 in the cells, CCK-8 assay was used to detect proliferation capacity, and flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle. Results Dual-luciferase assay verified that miR-15 b-5 p could bind to CDK4 mRNA 3'-UTR successfully. Compared to the negative control group, the mimics group showed significantly increased miR-15 b-5 p expression, decreased CDK4 levels, decreased cell proliferation rate, and increased proportion of G1-phase cells. Compared to the inhibitor nc group, the inhibitor group showed significantly decreased miR-15 b-5 p expression (t = 25.01, P ＜ 0.000 1), increased CDK4 protein level, increased cell proliferation rate, and decreased proportion of G1-phase cells.Conclusion miR-15 b-5 p can target CDK4, induce G1 phase arrest in cells, and thus, reduce the proliferation rate of choroid melanoma cells.

Objective: To explore the association between growth patterns and blood pressure in children and adolescents with different nutritional status. Methods: A total of 38 839 children and adolescents aged 6 to 8 years old were included in this study by stratified cluster sampling. The American Academy of Pediatrics 2017 Guideline was used to evaluate the blood pressure, the US 2000 CDC standard was used to determine different growth patterns, and the WHO Child and Adolescent Growth and Development Standard issued in 2007 was used to evaluate nutritional status. Variance analyses were used to compare the levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and growth patterns by nutritional status, and χ 2 test was used to compare the difference of prevalence. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between growth patterns and blood pressure. Results: The proportion of normal growth, catch up growth and catch down growth was 33.2%, 41.6% and 25.2%, respectively. Under different growth patterns, systolic blood pressure (105.17±12.33) mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure (66.55±8.75) mm Hg of catch up growth were higher than those of normal growth and catch down growth. In overweight and obesity, the prevalence of hypertension (24.9%), high systolic blood pressure (18.9%) and high diastolic blood pressure (15.0%) in catch up growth were higher than those in normal growth and catch down growth ( P <0.05). The risk of catch up growth to hypertension was higher in overweight and obesity ( OR =1.18, 95% CI =1.06-1.31) than in normal children and adolescents ( OR =1.15, 95% CI =1.05-1.27). Conclusion In catch up growth children and adolescents, hypertension and high blood pressure are higher than normal growth and catch down growth. Overweight and obesity than normal children and adolescents have a higher risk of hypertension.

Objective: To explore the association between lifestyle and fat mass index (FMI) in different positions of children and adolescents aged 7-18, so as to provide a scientific basis for health promotion in children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 1 531 students aged 7-18 was selected by intentional sampling from 4 schools in Tongzhou District, Beijing from September to December in 2020 and August in 2022. Questionnaire survey was used to collect lifestyle including dietary behavior, moderate to vigorous physical activity, smoke and drink behaviors, sleep time and sleep quality. Dual energy Xray absorptiometry was employed to assess fat mass, and calculated total, android, trunk, hip, gynoid and leg fat mass index (FMI). The ttest and Chisquare test were used to compare the differences of different lifestyle. Logistic regression was used to analysis association between lifestyle and body composition in different positions. Results: Compared with healthy lifestyle, unhealthy lifestyle had higher risk for hightrunk FMI (OR=1.40, P<0.05). After adjusted for sex and age, unhealthy lifestyle had higher risk for hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI, hightrunk FMI (OR=1.37, 1.37, 1.50, P<0.05), compared with healthy lifestyle. Stratified analysis found the associations between unhealthy lifestyle and hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI, hightrunk FMI, and highthigh FMI were only significant in girls with 7-12 years old (OR=2.13, 2.46, 2.13, 2.13, P<0.05). Conclusions Unhealthy lifestyle is associated with hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI and hightrunk FMI. A healthy lifestyle should be maintained during puberty, especially before puberty, to help children and adolescents reduce body fat and promote a balanced distribution of body composition.

Objective: To explore the relationship between one-child and low height level classification among children and adolescents, and the effects of fruits, vegetables and physical activities on this association, and to provide as cientific reference for probing into and improving the differences of their height level between one child and child with siblings. Methods: Using stratified cluster sampling method, 93 primary and secondary schools in 7 provinces and cities in China were selected for physical examination and questionnaire surveys. A total of 40 978 primary and middle school students aged 7-17 were selected. A multilevel Logistic regression model was used to analyze. Results: Univariate analysis found that being one-child was less likely to be classified as low height level(OR=0.63, 95%CI=0.58-0.67); the multilevel model also found that the probability that one-child being at low height level was still lower(OR=0.78, 95%CI=0.73-0.85), and daily vigorous-intensity physical activities ≥1 h (OR=0.92, 95%CI=0.85-0.99) and daily vegetables and fruits intake ≥5 servings (OR=0.83, 95%CI=0.75-0.92) could also reduce the probability of being at low height level. Hierarchical analysis found that when vegetables and fruits intake and physical activities time were sufficient, there was no longer a significant difference in the height level classification between one-child and child with siblings(P>0.05). Conclusion Being one-child could be a protective factor for the height level classification of children and adolescents. Adequate intake of vegetables and fruits and time of vigorous-intensity physical activities could fill the gap of height level classification between of being one-child and child with siblings. Effective behavioral intervention measures should be taken to protect the healthy growth of height among children and adolescences.

Objective: To evaluate the association of short-term fine particulate matters (PM2.5) exposure and blood pressure in children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 144 813 junior and senior middle school students who participated in the physical examination in the 2017-2018 academic year in a northern city of China, with complete record of demographic characteristics, blood pressure and no history of heart and other important organ diseases were selected as the study subjects. Data on PM2.5 and other pollutants and meteorological data were obtained from the nearest air quality and meteorological monitoring stations of each schools. A generalized linear mixed effect model was used to analyze the association between short-term exposure of PM2.5 and blood pressure. Results: The 6 day average concentration of PM2.5 (lag05) increased by 10 μg/m 3 was associated with an increase of 0.177(95%CI=0.148-0.207)mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) in systolic blood pressure and 4.4%(OR=1.044, 95%CI=1.030-1.058) increase of the prevalence of high systolic blood pressure. And it was also associated with -0.021(95%CI=-0.040--0.002)mm Hg decrease in diastolic blood pressure, but had no significant correlation with the prevalence of high diastolic blood pressure. In general, a 10 μg/m 3 increase of PM2.5 was associated with 3.3% increase in the prevalence of high blood pressure (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.02-1.05), and difference of boys and girls were found in different lagged days (P<0.05). Conclusion Short-term exposure of PM2.5 is associated with increased systolic blood pressure and prevalence of high blood pressure among children and adolescents. Attention should be paid to the prevention of short-term exposure of PM2.5 to protect the health of children and adolescents.

Objective: To analyze the association between sleep duration and social anxiety in Chinese children and adolescents to provide evidence for promoting healthy lifestyle and mental health in children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 1 145 children and adolescents aged 7-16 were recruited by cluster random sampling in Beijing in 2020, and received a series of body measurements and questionnaire survey. Social Anxiety Scale for Children (SASC) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to evaluate the social anxiety symptoms and sleep duration of children and adolescents. T test was used to compare the differences of social anxiety level in different groups, and multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between sleep duration and social anxiety. Results: The average score of social anxiety was (5.47±4.18). The social anxiety score of girls, participants aged 13-16, with insufficient physical activity and insufficient sleep duration were higher ( t =-4.34, -6.14, 3.35, 2.93, P < 0.05). The results of multivariate linear regression model showed that after adjusting confounding factors, social anxiety decreased by 0.78 for each additional hour of sleep duration ( β =-0.78, 95% CI =-1.03--0.54, P <0.01), with 0.60 in boys (95% CI = -0.95 --0.25), 0.90 in girls (95% CI =-1.24--0.56), 0.75 among participants aged 7-12 (95% CI =-1.11--0.40) and 0.76 among participants aged 13~16 (95% CI =-1.11--0.41)( P <0.01), respectively. Social anxiety among participants who were not over weight or obese decreased by 0.78(95% CI =-1.09--0.48) and 0.81 among overweight and obese group (95% CI =-1.22- -0.41 )( P <0.01) for each additional hour of sleep duration, respectively. Conclusion Substantial differences in social anxiety are observed in children and adolescents by gender, age group and nutritional status. Sufficient sleep duration is significantly related to the decrease of social anxiety, and improve the overall level of student mental health.
