ObjectiveTo analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of overweight and obesity among primary school students in a community of Fengxian District, Shanghai, and to provide references for formulating prevention and control strategies against overweight and obesity. MethodsData on height and weight of all primary school students in a community in Fengxian District, Shanghai, in 2023 were obtained by physical examination, and 1 759 primary school students were included according to the entry criteria. Overweight and obesity were determined using body mass index (BMI). Additionally, a questionnaire survey was performed to 1 045 students to collect their demographic characteristics, dietary behaviors, dietary habits, sleep and physical activity information. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of overweight and obesity. ResultsIn 2023, among the 1 759 primary school students in the community in Fengxian District, 923 (52.47%) were male and 836 (47.53%) were female, with an overweight/obesity detection rate of 28.08%. The detection rate of overweight and obesity was 33.37% in males and 22.25% in females, which was significantly higher in males than that in females (χ²=26.845, P<0.001). Students aged 10‒12 years had a higher overweight/obesity detection rate (32.55%) than those aged 6‒<10 years (26.53%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=10.925, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that being female, with young age, parental education level of bachelor’s degree and above, a high global dietary recommendation healthy (GDR-healthy) score, preference for vegetables and sweeter home-cooked meals, and a slow eating speed were negatively correlated with overweight/obesity. Whereas, parental overweight and obesity, binge eating, and a faster eating pace than same-age, same-gender peers may be positively correlated with overweight/obesity. ConclusionThe detection rate of overweight and obesity among primary school students in the community in Fengxian District of Shanghai is higher than the national level. Gender, age, parental BMI, parental education level, dietary behaviors and habits are the main influencing factors of overweight/obesity among primary school students.

Natural killer cells(NK)are important innate immune cells that do not require prior antigen exposure and can directly recognize and attack virus-infected cells and tumor cells.The activation and effector functions of NK cells are regulated by a balance of signals delivered through their surface activating receptors and inhibitory re-ceptors,which bind to ligands on target cells to achieve cytotoxicity via"induced self"and"missing self"recogni-tion models.The killing mechanisms of NK cells primarily include release of cytotoxic granules such as perforin and granzymes to induce target cell lysis,death receptor-mediated apoptosis,secretion of various cytokines,chemokines and growth factors to coordinate with other immune cells in killing tumor cells,thereby generating secondary im-mune responses and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity(ADCC).

Objective:To explore the impact of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) augmented repair versus autologous hamstring tendon single-bundle reconstruction on long-term joint function and radiological outcomes in patients with ACL tear.Methods:A prospective study was conducted, including medical records of 100 patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears admitted to the 983rd Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army from January 2020 to January 2023. There were 68 males and 32 females, who were aged from 35 to 63 years old, with a mean age of (44.73±6.31) years. The lesion was on the left side in 41 cases and on the right side in 59 cases. According to the Sherman classification, 43 cases were type Ⅰ and 57 cases were type Ⅱ. Patients were sequentially numbered according to admission order, and a random integer generator was used to assign random numbers (1 or 2). Patients assigned "1" were included in the Group 1, while those assigned "2" were allocated to the Group 2, with 50 cases in each group.The Group 1 received ACL augmented repair, while the Group 2 was treated with autologous hamstring tendon single-bundle reconstruction. After treatment, the two groups were compared in terms of knee joint function[International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score], motor function(Tegner score), knee joint stability(pivot shift test) at 12 and 24 months after surgery; the incidence of active pain[visual analog scale (VAS) score] at 1-3 months, 4-6 months, 7-12 months, and 13~24 months after surgery; radiological outcomes; and the rate of secondary revision. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation( ± s), and comparisons between the two groups were performed using t-test. Comparisons among multiple time points within the group were conducted using repeated measures analysis of variance. Count data were presented as cases and percentages [ n(%)], and comparisons between groups were made using the chi-square test. Ranked data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results:As of the last follow-up, a total of 45 patients were included in Group 1 (the repair group), and 48 patients were included in Group 2 (the reconstruction group). At 12 and 24 months postoperatively, the IKDC scores in the repair group showed significant improvements compared to preoperative values ( t =11.29, P<0.05; t=14.86, P<0.05), as did the Tegner scores ( t=36.13, P<0.05; t=52.21, P<0.05). Additionally, pivot-shift test results demonstrated significant improvement ( χ2=79.33, P<0.05; χ2=90.00, P<0.05). Similarly, in the reconstruction group, both IKDC scores ( t=10.02, P<0.05; t=13.73, P<0.05) and Tegner scores ( t=44.87, P<0.05; t=60.65, P<0.05) significantly increased at 12 and 24 months postoperatively, with pivot-shift test results also showing marked improvement ( χ2=89.33, P<0.05; χ2=96.00, P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the repair and reconstruction groups in Tegner scores or pivot-shift test results at either time point. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups for any outcome at either time point (IKDC: t=0.93, P>0.05 at 12 months; t=0.75, P>0.05 at 24 months; Tegner: t=1.52, P>0.05; t=0.77, P>0.05; pivot-shift: χ2=1.16, P>0.05; χ2=1.34, P>0.05). The duration of postoperative activity-related pain was significantly shorter in the repair group (3.24±0.61 months) compared to the reconstruction group (4.48±0.59 months) ( t=9.95, P<0.05). During postoperative months 1-3 and 4-6, pain levels were also significantly lower in the repair group ( t=5.32, P<0.05; t=8.71, P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences in pain levels were observed between groups at postoperative 7th to 12th months ( t=0.40, P>0.05) and 13th to 24th months ( t=0.37, P>0.05). At 24th months postoperatively, the majority of patients in both groups exhibited ligament thicknesses approaching normal levels, with fibro-osseous bridging between the ligament and bone tunnel walls. The revision rates were 2.2% (1/45) in the repair group and 2.1% (1/48) in the reconstruction group, with no statistically significant difference between groups ( χ2=0.00, P>0.05). Conclusions:The effects of ACL augmented repair for treating ACL tears on patients′ knee joint function, knee joint stability, motor function, and ligament healing are comparable to those of autologous hamstring tendon single-bundle reconstruction. However, ACL augmented repair can reduce the incidence of early active pain in patients.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

[Objective]To clearly identify the difference between rescue injuries and agonal injuries and to avoid duplicate identifications and misidentifications.[Methods]Based on the forensic pathological data of 5 923 cases of death cause identification from 2013 to 2022 in Sun Yat-sen University Forensic Identification Center and Guangzhou Tianhe District Branch of Guangzhou Public Security Bureau,this study retrospectively studied the characteristics of rescue injuries and agonal injuries seen in cause of death identification and their influence on cause of death identification.[Results]Among all the 5 923 cases,640 cases were found to have rescue injuries or agonal injuries,and 624 cases received treatment,of which 609 cases were found to have rescue injuries(97.60%),44 cases were found to have agonal injuries,and 13 cases were found to have both types of injuries.Among the 640 cases,441 were male and 199 were female.The age of death was discontinuously distributed from 0 to 95 years old.The leading cause of death was disease,followed by mechanical injury and asphyxia.The main manifestations of rescue injuries were rib and sternum fractures,soft tissue injuries in the prechest area or face,and pericardial rupture.The most common injuries in agonal stage were falling after unconsciousness,inhalation of foreign body in respiratory tract or multiple violent injuries.Among the 640 cases,19 cases were repeatedly identified,including 15 cases of rescue injuries,6 cases of agonal injuries,and 2 cases of both types of injuries.Compared with the cases where neither type of injuries was detected,the repeated identification rate of treatment injuries and agonal injuries was significantly increased(χ2=4.04,P=0.044;χ2=43.49,P<0.001).Among the 640 cases,11 cases(1.72%)were misidentified as the initial injuries in the first identification,and 13 cases had combined rescue injuries or agonal injuries that were involved in death.[Conclusions]By elucidating the epidemiological characteristics of the two types of injuries,this study proved that the two types of injuries were associated with higher rates of repeated identification and misidentification,which provided a reference for reducing repeated identification and misidentification and improving the accuracy of cause of death identification.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of specific IgE antibodies against Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus fumigatus in serum samples from clinical allergy patients across selected provinces in China.Methods Data on specific IgE antibodies for Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.were collected from 20 hospital laboratories in 17 cities spanning 11 provinces.The study analyzed the levels of specific IgE and their variations across different provinces and seasons.Results A total of 27 471 cases of Alternaria A.and 32 843 cases of Aspergillus F.specific IgE data were included.The national average positive rate of Alternaria A.IgE was 10.40%,with the highest rate of 22.68%in Jiangsu and the lowest rate of 2.06%in Guangxi.For Aspergillus F.specific IgE,the average positive rate was 4.24%,with Hubei province having the highest rate(7.25%)and Hunan province the lowest(1.23%).The difference in IgE levels for both Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.among provinces were statistically significant(H=9 955,16 993,all P<0.0001).Among patients,5.85%had Alternaria A.specific IgE levels at grade 3 or above,while only 0.57%had Aspergillus F.specific IgE levels at this level.When examining seasonal variations using data from Liaoning,Hunan and Anhui provinces,significant seasonal changes were observed for both Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.IgE antibodies(HAlternaria A=347.6,338.0,401.3,HAspergillus F=196.6,133.7,231.7,all P<0.0001).Conclusion The sensitization to Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.exhibits distinct geographical characteristics and vary significantly with seasons.Given the relatively high IgE levels associated with Alternaria A.,it should be given adequate clinical attention.
