Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and to provide reference for formulating obesity-related intervention strategies for school-age children. Methods Stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area. The overweight and obesity rate was calculated according to the Chinese health industry standard, and the risk factors of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents of different school age groups were analyzed by logistic regression. Results The overweight and obesity rate (25.3%) of primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area exceeded the national average level. In primary school group, male, sleep time ≥ 8h per day, water intake ≥ 1200 mL per day, and the presence of mobile food stalls around the school were the risk factors for overweight and obesity. Daily extracurricular exercise time of 30 minutes to 2 hours was a protective factor. In junior high school group, male and electronic product use time of ≥ 2h per day were the risk factors for overweight and obesity. The daily extracurricular exercise time of 1 to 2 hours was a protective factor. In high school group, drinking water ≥1200mL per day was a risk factor for overweight and obesity. Eating breakfast every day for the past week was a protective factor. Conclusion Group intervention targeting overweight and obese school-age children, while changing corresponding unhealthy habits according to different school age groups, is crucial for weight loss in school-age children.

Objective To explore the influence of different bone quality around the implant on the implantation accuracy,the com-puter-aided design of implant guide plate was used for patients with poor bone quality to evaluate its accuracy.Methods Retrospective analysis of relevant clinical data from 29 single-tooth implant patients with relatively poor bone quality meeting inclusion criteria was conducted.Using 3Shape Implant Studio software,implant plans were designed and fully guided digital templates were fabricated before surgery.Implantation was guided by the templates throughout,with torque and ISQ values recorded to evaluate the initial stability of the implant.Postoperative implant positions were reconstructed using CBCT images,and the three-dimensional deviation of implant place-ment was evaluated in conjunction with the preoperative design.Bone quality around the implants was also recorded and analyzed before and after surgery.Results In this study,digital guide plates were used in patients with poor bone quality,and the initial stability of implants was≥20 N·cm except for three cases.In cases of poor bone quality,the accuracy of the fully guided digital templates was as follows:cervix deviation(0.94±0.59)mm,apex deviation(1.40±0.81)mm and angle deviation 4.10°±2.99°.Bone quality had a greater impact on angle deviation(P<0.05).The higher the proportion of D3 bone was around the implant body 1/3,the smaller the deviation of neck,apex and angle was,while the higher the proportion of D5 bone,the greater the deviation of implantation.Conclu-sion For patients with poor bone quality,under the premise of restoration-oriented,the proportion of D3 bone around the implant can be increased by computer-aided design,and the initial stability of the implant can be improved by guiding the implantation with digital guide plate.Attention should be paid to the influence of bone on the angle deviation of implant during the application of guide plate.

Objective:To analyze regional differences in MMACHC gene variations among patients with cblC-type methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) in China and to explore the relationship between these variations and neonatal screening, biochemical markers and prognosis.Methods:Retrospective case summary. Clinical and laboratory data, including general condition, biochemical markers and genetic analysis, were collected from 1 859 cblC MMA patients from 2005 to 2023. Patients were divided into 7 groups according to their regions: north China, northeast China, east China, central China, south China, southwest China and northwest China. They were also classified into neonatal screening and non-neonatal screening groups. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare biochemical marker levels. In contrast, the Chi-square test was applied to compare MMACHC gene variant frequencies, neonatal screening proportion, onset age and prognosis between groups. Results:Among 1 859 cases of cblC MMA, 1 019 were male and 840 were female, with a consultation age of 1.0 (0.1, 5.0) month. A total of 1 787 cases carried compound heterozygous or homozygous variants and only 1 variant site was identified in 72 cases. The 10 most frequent variants were c.609G>A (1 238 cases), c.658_660delAAG (343 cases), c.80A>G (284 cases), c.482G>A (239 cases), c.567dupT (191 cases), c.656_658delAGA (131 cases), c.217C>T (109 cases), c.394C>T (105 cases), c.445_446delTG (51 cases) and c.1A>G (50 cases). The frequency of the c.609G>A was the lowest in northwest China (28.8% (44/154), χ2=-18.42, P<0.05). The frequency of the c.567dupT was the most common in southwest China (25.0% (20/80), χ2=71.70, P<0.001) and c.656_658delAGA had the highest frequency in northeast China (9.3% (19/205), χ2=32.08, P<0.001). Non-missense variants (91.2% (62/68), 88.5% (46/52)) and early-onset patients (90.0% (36/40), 94.4% (34/36)) were both more prevalent in southwest and south China ( χ2=14.95, 31.69, both P<0.05). The proportion of neonatal screening was the lowest in south China (22.2% (8/36), χ2=98.48, P<0.05), where the mortality rate was the highest (19.1% (4/21), χ2=38.98, P<0.001). East China exhibited the highest frequency of missense variants (21.5% (339/1 579)), the highest proportion of patients identified through neonatal screening (54.5% (465/853)), and a more significant proportion of patients with good prognosis (36.6% (227/621), χ2=14.57, 93.49, 38.98, all P<0.05). In addition, the c.482G>A variant was more frequent in patients diagnosed by neonatal screening compared to those diagnosed by other methods (8.3% (132/1 586) vs. 5.9% (122/2 060), χ2=7.97, P<0.05). Conclusions:The frequency of MMACHC gene variation varies across different regions. The c.609G>A was least frequent in northwest China, c.567dupT was most common in southwest China, and c.656_658delAGA was most prevalent in northeast China. South China had the lowest neonatal screening rate and the highest mortality. At the same time, east China exhibited the highest frequency of missense variants, the highest proportion of patients identified through neonatal screening and the best prognosis. The c.482G>A variant was more frequent in patients diagnosed by neonatal screening compared to those diagnosed by other methods.

BACKGROUND:As the incidence of spinal cord injury increases with the years and axon regeneration after spinal cord injury was very difficult.How to promote the recovery from spinal cord injury and improve the transplantation efficiency of stem cells and other therapeutic cells after spinal cord injury has been the focus of clinical and scientific research. OBJECTIVE:To establish the efficient transplantation and replacement of mouse spinal cord microglia in the spinal cord injury model. METHODS:CX3CR1 creER-/+::LSL-BDNF-/+-tdTomato mice,CX3CR1+/GFP mice,β-actin GFP mice and C57 BL/6J wild-type mice at 8-10 weeks of age were selected.According to the requirements of the experiment,they were randomly divided into six groups.(1)Sham operation group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used when only the lamina was removed without injury.(2)Spinal cord contusion injury group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used.(3)Spinal cord crush injury group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used.(4)Conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group:β-actin GFP mice with green fluorescent blood were surgically stitched together with C57 BL/6J wild-type mice,using eight β-actin GFP mice and eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice.(5)Mr BMT-X Ray group(using PLX5622 to eliminate the spinal microglia and bone marrow transplantation with X-ray radiation):Bone marrow cells from four CX3CR1 creER-/+::LSL-BDNF-/+-tdTomato mice were extracted and transplanted into eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice for spinal cord injury modeling.(6)Mr BMT-Busulfan group(using PLX5622 to eliminate the spinal microglia and bone marrow transplantation with Busulfan):Bone marrow cells from four CX3CR1+/GFP mice were transplanted into eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice.The percentage of cell transplantation replacement in this group was observed,and the spinal cord injury model was not established in this group.The sham operation group,spinal cord contusion injury group and spinal cord crush injury group were sampled by perfusion on day 14 after spinal cord injury.The conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group was sampled by perfusion on day 7 after spinal cord injury.Mr BMT-X Ray group was sampled by perfusion on day 28 after spinal cord injury.Mr BMT-Busulfan group was sampled by perfusion on day 28 after transplantation.The sampling site was a 1.2 cm long spinal cord with the T10 segment as the center.In the Mr BMT-X Ray group and Mr BMT-Busulfan group,additional mouse brain tissue was retained to see if it would lead to brain transplantation and replacement.The number and proportion of transplanted and replaced cells in the damaged area were measured using transgenic mice,symbiosis and immunofluorescence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the traditional peripheral blood transplantation(9.8%)of mice in the conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group,the new transplantation methods,Mr BMT-X Ray and Mr BMT-Busulfan,could greatly improve the proportion of spinal microglia transplantation and replacement,which could reach 84.8%and 95.6%,respectively.The difference was significant(P<0.05).The results showed that Mr BMT-X Ray and Mr BMT-Busulfan could achieve efficient replacement of spinal microglia cells,and could improve the problems of low cell transplantation efficiency,few survival numbers and unclear differentiation of the traditional cell transplantation methods.In addition,Mr BMT-X Ray can only replace the microglia in the spinal cord,while Mr BMT-Busulfan could avoid brain inflammation and injury caused by X-ray radiation transplantation.

Objective:To explore the genetic characteristics of three fetuses with regions of homozygosity (ROH).Methods:Three fetuses with ROH diagnosed at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital on December 2, 2020, March 19, 2021, and May 27, 2022, respectively were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data of the fetuses were collected. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) was used to detect the ROH, and tandem repeat sequences (STR)-based multiplex PCR assay was used to identify the mosaicism status in fetus 1.Results:Partial maternal isodisomy (iUPD) (16) was found in fetus 1, for which trisomy rescue may be accountable. Meanwhile, the fetus also has confined placental mosaicism (CPM) but not true mosaicism. The formation mechanism of ROH for fetus 2 was identity by descent. Partial maternal iUPD (7) was found in fetus 3, which may be due to gametic recombination.Conclusion:The ROH of the three fetuses were inherited from both parents or the mother. Above findings suggested that it is justified to detect ROH on imprinting disorder-related chromosomes when potential uniparental disomy is suspected.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF)combined with allograft bone transplantation in the treatment of spinal tuberculosis.Methods A total of 177 patients with lumbar tuberculosis admitted to the 4th People's Hospital of Qinghai Province from August 2018 to August 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Patients were divided into control group(n=49)and observation group(n=128)based on the source of the transplanted bone.All patients underwent at least 2 weeks of standard quadruple anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy before surgery.Patients in the control group received PDGF combined with autograft bone transplantation,while patients in the observation group received PDGF combined with allograft bone transplantation.The surgical duration,intraoperative blood loss,and length of hospital stay of patients in the two groups were recorded;the erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and serum C-reactive protein(CRP)levels of patients in the two groups were compared before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery.Preoperative CT and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)examinations were performed,and postoperative CT and MRI were performed after bone fusion was completed to compare the changes in Cobb angle before and after surgery.The visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to assess the pain degree in the lumbar region before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery.The VAS scores of patients in the two groups,VAS scores of male patients in the two groups,and VAS scores of female patients in the two groups were compared before and after surgery,respectively.Results There was no statistically significant difference in surgical duration and length of hospital stay between the observation group and the control group(P>0.05).The intraoperative blood loss of patients in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in Cobb angle before and after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).The postoperative Cobb angle significantly decreased in both groups when compared to preoperative values(P<0.05).The VAS scores of patients in both groups decreased sequentially before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery,with statistically significant differences in intra-group pairwise comparisons(P<0.05).The VAS scores of male patients in both groups decreased sequentially before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery,with statistically significant differences in intra-group pairwise comparisons(P<0.05).The VAS scores of female patients in both groups also decreased sequentially before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery,with statistically significant differences in intra-group pairwise comparisons(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in VAS scores between the observation group and the control group before surgery and at 1,6 months after surgery(P>0.05);the VAS score of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 3 months after surgery(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in VAS scores between male patients in the observation group and male patients in the control group before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery(P>0.05);the VAS score of male patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 3 months after surgery(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in VAS scores between female patients in the observation group and female patients in the control group before surgery and at 1,6 months after surgery(P>0.05);the VAS score of female patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 3 months after surgery(P<0.05).The ESR of patients in both groups decreased sequentially before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery,with statistically significant differences in intra-group pairwise comparisons(P<0.05).The serum CRP levels of patients in both groups also decreased sequentially before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery,with statistically significant differences in intra-group pairwise comparisons(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in ESR between the observation group and the control group before surgery and at 1,3,6 months after surgery(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in serum CRP level between the observation group and the control group before surgery and at 1,6 months after surgery(P>0.05);the serum CRP level of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 3 months after surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of PDGF combined with allograft bone transplantation in the treatment of spinal tuberculosis is comparable to that of autograft bone transplantation,but PDGF combined with allograft bone transplantation can significantly reduce postoperative pain degree,improve patient comfort,avoid additional damage caused by autograft bone transplantation,and reduce the physical burden on patients.It can be considered a safe and reliable surgical method for bone grafting in lumbar tuberculosis surgery.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term clinical efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of early colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions, and to explore the risk factors of local recurrence after operation.Methods:From January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2022, the clinical and endoscopic follow-up data of 1 095 patients (1 186 lesions) who underwent ESD at Peking University Third Hospital and were pathologically diagnosed as early colorectal cancer or precancerous lesions after ESD were retrospectively analyzed. The long-term efficacy of ESD was evaluated, which included 5-year overall survival rate, disease-specific survival rate, local recurrence rate, and recurrence-free survival rate. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were performed to analyze local recurrence related clinical pathological factors.Results:After ESD, 1 067 patients were followed up, and the median follow-up period was 44.4 (20.3, 62.1) months. There were 734 patients having endoscopic follow-up (798 lesions, the follow-up rate was 67.0%). During the follow-up period, 26 patients died, and the 5-year overall survival rate and disease-specific survival rate were 96.0% and 100.0%, respectively. During the follow-up period, local recurrence was observed in 17 lesions, with a recurrence rate of 2.1%(17/798) and a median time of recurrence after ESD was 11.8 (4.9, 21.4) months. The 5-year cumulative recurrence rate was 3.4%, and the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 94.0%. The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that lesions located in the rectum ( HR=2.64, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.00 to 6.94, P=0.049), histologically incomplete resection ( HR = 4.40, 95% CI 1.62 to 11.94, P=0.004), and positive vertical margin ( HR=10.27, 95% CI 2.95 to 35.77, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for local recurrence after ESD in the treatment of colorectal mucosal lesions. Conclusions:Long-term efficacy of ESD in the treatment of colorectal mucosal lesions are favorable. Lesions located in the rectum, histologically incomplete resection, and positive vertical margin are independent risk factors for local recurrence after ESD in the treatment of colorectal mucosal lesions.
