Objective To explore the effect of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on RhoA/ROCK pathway in lung and on the muscularization in pulmonary vascular in rat model. Methods Wistar rats (n=40) were randomly divided into two groups:the normal oxygen control group (n=20) and the IH group ( n=20). For 4 weeks, rats in control group and IH group were ex?posed to intermittent normal oxygen (21%O2) or IH (5%-21%O2) respectively. Then, mRNA transcription and protein trans?lation levels of RhoA/ROCK were examined by Real-time PCR and Western blot. Expression of proliferation cell nuclear an?tigen (PCNA) andα-smooth muscle actin (SM-α-actin ) of lung and pulmonary artery were detected by immunohistochemis?try. Results RhoA mRNA transcription level(0.463 ± 0.067 vs 0.182 ± 0.040), ROCK mRNA transcription level(0.384 ± 0.062 vs 0.192 ± 0.052), RhoA protein expression level(0.827 ± 0.065 vs 0.424 ± 0.075)and ROCK protein expression level (0.488±0.088 vs 0.336±0.102)were higher in IH group than those in control group(P<0.05);Levels of PCNA in lung tissue [(54.67±1.80)%vs (9.14±0.91)%], PCNA in pulmonary artery [(49.40±1.21)%vs (8.38±1.13)%], SM-α-actin in lung tis?sue [(42.66±1.63)%vs (35.44±1.41)%] and SM-α-actin in pulmonary artery [(62.62±2.53)%vs (45.54±2.58)%] were also higher in IH group than those in control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Rho/ROCK pathway may play an important role in developing pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with IH;and IH can promote the muscularization in pulmonary vascular to accelerate PH.

Objective: To analyze current status of physical exercise of primary and middle school students in Henan province, and to explore its relationship with physical fitness. Methods: Data on physical exercise and related indicators among 9-18 years old students was retrieved from Henan Provincial Student Physical Fitness and Health Survey in 2019. Physical fitness index (PFI), body mass index (BMI) was calculated. ANOVA was used to compare differences of physical exercise between men and women, urban and rural areas. Correlations between physical exercise with PFI and BMI were evaluated. Results: The majority of students had two PE classes per week (41.9%), daily active recess (44.5%), one sports meeting in each school year (46.8%), and half to one hour of physical exercise per day (50.1%). Boys were more likely to exercise than girls, while rural students were more likely to excecise than urban students. The proportion of parents who support sports activities in their spare time was the highest (75.8%), and the proportion of parents who both like sports was the highest (47.3%). PFI was positively correlated with exercise scores and negatively correlated with non exercise scores. BMI was negatively correlated with exercise scores and positively correlated with non exercise scores ( r =0.12, -0.13, -0.20, 0.14, P ＜0.01). Conclusion Physical exercise of primary and middle school students in Henan is satisfactory.Exercise scores are positively correlated with physical fitness, but negatively correlated with BMI.

Objective: To analyze dental caries and associated factors among primary and middle school students in Henan Province, so as to provide reference for dental caries prevention and control. Methods: The data of physical health survey of students in Henan Province in 2019 was analyzed for caries and other related index of students aged 7, 9, 12, 14 years. Chi square test was used to compare detection rate of caries by sex and residence, analysis of variance was used to compare the height between with and without risk of caries, and Logistic regression analysis was conducted for the influencing factors of caries. Results: The caries rate was 56.6%. And the male students (53.4%) was lower than the female students (59.7%). The urban students (53.4%) was lower than the rural students (59.8%)( χ 2=52.31,54.00, P <0.01). The height of the caries free group was higher than that of the caries group, and the height difference was 0.5-1.6 cm; the prevalence of caries decreased with the increase of age( χ 2=992.01, P < 0.01 ). The detection rate of anemia in caries group (16.7%) was higher than that in caries free group (14.9%)( χ 2=7.98, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR =0.82) gender ( OR =1.27) urban area and rural ( OR =1.26) overweight ( OR =0.67) and obesity ( OR = 0.67 ) were all influencing factors of dental caries( P <0.01). Conclusion Dental caries is high among primary and middle school students in Henan Province, and dental caries affects their growth, development and nutritional status, and the prevention and control measures of dental caries among primary and middle school students should be strengthened.

Objective According to the clinical and gene mutation characteristics of ACADVL-related very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency(VLCADD),the types that contribute to the gene mutation of ACADVL were summarized.Methods By analyzing clinical,laboratory and genetic data of 1 case with ACADVL-related very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency diagnosed from Department of Pediatrics,the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University in August 2016,based on the agreement signed by both the litde patient's parents and the hospital,plus the high-throughput sequencing analysis and PCR sequencing test for the 2 generation genes,some presented mutation sites were analyzed and concluded,in addition to taking "ACADVL" as key words to search the databases from CNKI,Wanfang(updated in 2016) as well as PubMed and related documents from On-line Mendal Inheritant databases of Man (OMIM) and HGMD.Results Through physical examination,VLCADD was diagnosed.After being given Levocamitine and the diet likemedium-chain fatty acid food for a week,the metabolism returned to normal.Tracking him for 3 months,his hepatitis obviously rebounded,within the reach of 3 cm under the right rib and 1 cm under the xiphoid.The exome sequencing study (trios) was identified the novel heterozygous mutation according to the statistics below A CAD VL (N M_000018.3) Exon7:c.608 C ＞ T;p.(Pro203 Leu) (heterozygous) and A CAD VL (NM _000018.3) Exon18:c.1748C ＞ T;p.(Ser583Leu) (heterozygous) in ACADVL.Relevant literature reported suggest these two mutations from both the parents are pathogenic genes,which can account for the reason why the boy got ill.However,these two mutations had not been reported in ACADVL-related VLCADD so far.Up to now,73 types of mutations from documents index were related to the VLCADD,but the clinical case included 75 kinds of gene mutations.Conclusions The apparent symptoms of the boy with the gene mutation were reflected in abnormal heart rates,hepatomegaly and hypoglycemia.VLCADD was diagnosed through genetic testing,and systematic treatment can partly control the development of the disease.In conclusion,the findings (exon 7 and 18) show that according to the genetic tests,disease-causing genes from both parents are new mutations of ACADVL and they are pathogenic.

Objective: To analysis gender disparities in epidemiological trend of HIV/AIDS disease burden among Chinese population aged 10-24 years from 1990 to 2019. Methods: The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD 2019) results tool was used to extract the number of deaths, mortality rate, disability adjusted life years (DALY), DALY rate, years of life lost (YLL), YLL rate, years lived with disability (YLD) and YLD rate to comprehensively analyze the change range of HIV/AIDS disease burden in the Chinese population aged 10-24 years from 1990 to 2019. Results: In 2019, the number of deaths, mortality rate, DALY, DALY rate, YLL, YLL rate, YLD and YLD rate of Chinese population aged 10-24 years due to HIV/AIDS were 847, 0.37 per 100 000 , 62 621 person years, 27.51 per 100 000, 58 036 person years, 25.49 per 100 000, 4 584 person years, 2.01 per 100 000 respectively, with the increase of 401.18%, 691.49%, 370.48%, 648.26%, 409.53%, 710.33%, 138.87% and 279.25% , compared with the data in 1990. In term of gender, the number of deaths, mortality rate, DALY, and DALY rate of Chinese male population aged 10-14, 15-19 and 20-24 years due to HIV/AIDS in 2019 were higher than those of female, and the growth rate (compared with 1990) was also higher than that of female. In term of the age group, the increase in people aged 10-14 years was higher than that of people aged 20-24 years. From 1990 to 2019, with the increase of year and age, gender disparity between mortality and DALY rate widened. Conclusion Compared with data in 1990, the risk of HIV/AIDS infection in 2019 among Chinese population aged 10-24 years continued to increase, especially among young people of 10-14 years. Gender disparity is exacerbating.

Objective: To analyze the present situation and associated factors of physical fitness and overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students in Henan Province, and so as to explore the related factors and to provide reference for improving students physical fitness. Methods: The data of students physical health survey in Henan Province in 2019 were used to analyze the PFI and BMI of students aged 7-18. The Chi square test was used to compare difference in overweight and obesity prevalence by gender and residence. Analysis of variance was used to compare PFI differences among students of different age groups. Multi variable Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of physical fitness. Results: A large proportion of students PFI was between -5 and 5. 0-<5 group(46.8%), followed by -5-<0 group(44.0%), and ≥5 group. The detection rates of overweight and obesity were higher in boys (16.8%, 12.3%) than in girls (12.8%, 7.6%), and in cities (16.1%, 11.8%) than in rural areas (13.3%, 7.9%)( χ 2=124.78, 245.43; 62.52, 166.23, P <0.01). PFI was negatively correlated with BMI( r= -0.23 , P <0.01). Age ( OR =1.01), urban and rural (rural s OR =1.21), gender (female s OR =1.11), over weight ( OR =1.94), obesity ( OR =4.85) were the influencing factors of physical fitness( P <0.05). Conclusion Age, residence, gender, overweight and obesity are the related factors of physical fitness. Controlling overweight and obesity can effectively improve students physical fitness.

Objective To investigate the relation between TMB and the efficiency of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods Studies were searched from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and Wanfang Database up to March 25, 2020. RevMan 5.3 software and STATA15.0 were used for analysis. Results Twelve literatures were involved, including 1209 patients. TMB significantly improved PFS (HR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.42-0.70, P < 0.001) but reduced the ORR (OR=4.41, 95%CI: 2.54-7.63, P < 0.001) of NSCLC patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. The subgroup analyses showed that the predictive value of TMB was significant in non-small cell lung cancer treated by PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with anti-CTLA-4 therapy or chemotherapy. No significant publication bias was observed by the Begg's test and Egger's test. Conclusion High tumor mutation burden may predict the improved PFS of non-small cell lung cancer by PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors treatment, but its predictive value for OS, ORR and long-term survival need more exploration.

Objective:To observe the relationship between inducible carbon monoxide synthase (iNOS) and delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP), and explore its mechanism of action in DEACMP.Methods:This study was designed as prospective cohort study. Patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning who met the diagnostic criteria and were admitted to Emergency Intensive Care Unit(EICU) of our hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 were selected as subjects. Patients were divided into the DEACMP group and non-DEACMP group according to the occurrence of DEACMP. Serum samples were collected on the first 24 h after admission and on day 7 and 14 after admission, and the serum nitric oxide (NO), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), inducible carbon monoxide synthase (iNOS), and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) level were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The generalized estimating equation was used to estimate the difference of NO, nNOS, iNOS and eNOS between DEACMP and non-DEACMP patients.Results:A total of 78 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning were included in our study finally, including 49 (62.82%) males and 29 (37.18%) females, with an average age of (53.96±14.95) years, 20 (25.64%) patients with DEACMP, and 1 (1.28%) death. Univariate analysis showed that patients with DEACMP had an average increase of 3 h (95% CI: 1.00, 5.00) in carbon monoxide exposure time and a 5-point decrease in GCS score (95% CI: 1.00, 6.00) than the patients without DEACMP, and the proportion of patients with severe carbon monoxide poisoning in the DEACMP group was higher than that of the non-DEACMP group (90.00% vs. 32.76%). According to the analysis of generalized estimation equation, on day 7 and 14 after admission, Compared with non-DEACMP patients, neither by performing unadjusted nor adjusted analysis with the iNOS of DEACMP patients was significantly higher than that in non-DEACMP patients regardless of whether exposure time, GCS score, coma time or severity of carbon monoxide poisoning were adjusted or not ( P <0.01 or P <0.05). Except for the level of nNOS in the GEE model adjusted with carbon monoxide exposure time, the levels of NO, nNOS and eNOS showed no significant difference between DEACMP and non-DEACMP patients ( P >0.05). Conclusions:The expression of iNOS level is increased in DEACMP patients, and its continuous expression may be involved in the pathogenesis of DEACMP.

Objective To find out the epidemic characteristics of brucellosis in Harbin and provide scientific evidences for development of countermeasures.Methods The brucellosis surveillance data were collected from the "National Diseases Surveillance Information Management System" and the municipal surveillance results from 2013 to 2017 in Harbin;the place,time and population distribution characteristics of brucellosis were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods.Results A total of 2 909 cases of brucellosis were reported in Harbin from 2013 to 2017,and the incidence of brucellosis declined from 5.98 per 100 000 to 4.53 per 100 000,the epidemic situation was mainly sporadic,and an outbreak caused by a live Brucella vaccine (A19 strain) was reported in 2017;all eighteen districts (counties or cities) in Harbin had reported epidemic in the past five years,Shuangcheng,Yilan,Binxian and Bayan had a large number of cases,accounted for 53.76％ (1 564/2 909) of the total number of patients in Harbin;the time of onset focused on March to July,which accounted for 57.17％ (1 663/2 909) of annual incidence;age distribution,mainly young adults aged 30 to 59,accounted for 72.57％ (2 111/2 909);gender distribution predominandy male,accounted for 75.42％ (2 194/2 909);and occupational distribution predominantly farmers,accounted for 86.28％ (2 510/2 909).In the municipal surveillance stations from 2013 to 2017,7 005 cases were surveyed,of which 2 141 cases received serological test,the positive rate was 3.32％ (71/2 141),except 2016,the serum positive rate was decreasing year by year (x2 =13.927,P ＜ 0.05),and the monitoring results of municipal monitoring stations can better reflect the epidemic trend.Conclusions The incidence of brucellosis in Harbin is decreasing year by year.However,the outbreak caused by the new vaccines should be given high attention and we should strengthen prevention and control of the disease.
