Objective:
To analyze the prevalence trends and associated factors of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Macao from 2005 to 2020, so as to provide evidence for developing health promotion strategies.
Methods:
Data were obtained from the Macao Citizen Physical Fitness Monitoring Database for the years 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 for participants aged 6-22 years. The χ 2 test was employed to analyze trends in detection rates, while univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify influencing factors.
Results:
The overweight rate among Macaos children and adolescents increased from 10.4% in 2005 to 14.8% in 2020. The obesity rate rose from 6.8% to 12.1%, with the total detection rate increasing from 17.2% to 26.9%, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2 trend =46.7, 87.5, 145.9, P <0.01). Notably, the overweight/obesity rate among boys showed rapid growth ( χ 2 trend = 118.6, P <0.01), while girls exhibited a declining inflection point in 2020. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that children and adolescents with the following characteristics faced higher risks of overweight/obesity: a physical education performance score of 3 points (overweight: OR=2.34, 95%CI =1.10-4.96; obesity: OR=2.39, 95%CI =1.19-4.81), paternal obesity (overweight: OR=2.07, 95%CI =1.38-3.11; obesity: OR=1.51, 95%CI = 1.01-2.27), and maternal obesity (overweight: OR=1.69, 95%CI =1.08-2.63; obesity: OR=1.77, 95%CI =1.16- 2.71 ) ( P <0.05). Conversely, lower risks were observed in those who performed appropriate warm-up activities before exercise (obesity: OR=0.37, 95%CI =0.15-0.95), participated in two academic/non-sports extracurricular classes (obesity: OR=0.46, 95%CI =0.24-0.88), and reported moderate physical exertion during extracurricular exercise (obesity: OR=0.60, 95%CI =0.36-0.98) ( P <0.05) .
Conclusions
Overweight and obesity among Macao s children and adolescents remain severe, particularly among boys, while girls show early signs of improvement. It is recommended to establish a multi-sectoral collaborative prevention and control system to reduce childhood and adolescent obesity.

Objective:To investigate the current status of scientific fitness literacy (SFL) and its influencing factors among Chinese adults aged 20-59 years.Methods:Totally 63 338 adults aged 20-59 years in the status of national fitness activities in 2020 from 1 January to 31 March 2020 were selected as the subjects, and they were divided into four age groups, namely, the 20-29 age group, the 30-39 age group, the 40-49 age group and the 50-59 age group. Data were analyzed by SPSS 29.0.Comparative analyses for age, gender, urban-rural difference were carried out by applying non-parametric tests, and multiple regression models were applied to find the influencing factors of SFL.Results:The SFL score of Chinese adults aged 20-59 years was 53.40 (41.67, 63.73), and the scores of cognition, attitude, ability and skills, behavior and habits sub-dimensions were 86.11 (72.22, 100.00), 62.96 (50.62, 75.31), 27.78 (11.11, 44.44) and 33.33 (11.11, 55.56), respectively. The SFL and the four sub-dimensions were demonstrated to have higher scores for males than females, and higher scores for adults in urban area than those in rural area(all P<0.01). The multiple regression results showed that regular exercise at a fitness facility (20-29 age group: β=0.321, t=5.940, P<0.01; 30-39 age group: β=0.187, t=2.937, P<0.01; 40-49 age group: β=0.230, t=3.988, P<0.01; 50-59 age group: β=0.415, t=5.671, P<0.01) was the Chinese adults' common influence factor on SFL.Motivation, evaluation by those around them, experience from exercising, and convenience and atmosphere of exercising were the main influence factors in the 20-29 and 30-39 age groups(all P<0.05).Comfort level of fitness venue, convenience, safety, and support of fitness place were the main influence factors in adults aged 40-59 years(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chinese adults aged 20-59 years old have high SFL awareness scores, but low overall SFL scores. Surrounding people's evaluation, experience in exercise, comfort level of fitness place, convenience, safety and fitness policy support are the influential factors of scientific fitness literacy.

OBJECTIVE To study the intervention effect of Hippophae rhamnoides oil on glucocorticoid resistance in superantigen-induced atopic dermatitis (AD) mice,and to explore the mechanism of action. METHODS Fifty mice were randomly divided into 5 groups,i.e. normal control group (group A),model group (group B),dexamethasone intervention group (positive control,group C),H. rhamnoides oil intervention group (group D),dexamethasone+H. rhamnoides oil intervention group (group E),with 10 mice in each group. Except for group A,other groups were given 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene+staphylococcal enterotoxin B to induce the AD mice model. Starting from the 7th day of the experiment,groups C,D and E were given dexamethasone (1.5 mg/kg) and/or H. rhamnoides oil (10 mL/kg) intragastrically,once a day,for 28 consecutive days. After the last medication,the pathomorphological changes of ear tissue were observed by 节作用。E-mail:57667478@qq.com HE staining; the serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Positive cell count of glucocorticoid receptor α (GRα) and GRβ in the ear tissue of mice was detected by tyramide signal amplification. The expressions of GRα protein,GRβ protein,and protein kinase B (AKT)/ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1,S6K1 (S6K1) signaling pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blot assay. RESULTS Compared with group B,the skin inflammation in the left ear of the mice was significantly reduced in groups C,D and E,the serum levels of IgE and IL-4 were decreased significantly in groups D and E (P< 0.05),while the number of GRα positive cells and GRα protein expression were increased significantly (P<0.05); the protein levels of G protein inhibitory subunit 1 (Gαi1),Gαi3,phosphorylated S6K1 (p-S6K1) and phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) were decreased significantly (P<0.05); the number of GRβ positive cells and protein expression of GRβ was decreased significantly in group E(P<0.05). Compared with group C,the skin inflammation in the left ear of the mice was almost clear away in group E,the serum levels of IgE and IL-4 were decreased significantly (P<0.05); the number of GRα positive cells and GRα protein expression were increased significantly in groups D and E (P<0.05); the protein levels of GRβ,Gαi1,p-S6K1 and p-AKT were all decreased significantly in groups D and E(P<0.05); and protein level of Gαi3 was decreased significantly in group E (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS H. rhamnoides oil has an intervention effect on superantigen-induced glucocorticoid resistance of AD mice,which may be exerted by inhibition of the Gαi1/3-induced AKT/S6K1 signaling pathway.

Objectives To describe the Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection of children in Hefei, analyze its epidemiological characteristics, and explore the factors affecting EBV infection. Methods The children as the outpatient in the department of our hospital were recruited as the research subjects from June 2018 to June 2021. Epidemiological data of the research subjects were collected from medical records and the laboratory tests were performed to detect the related serological indicators of EBV. The distribution characteristics of different serological antibodies of EBV were described. According to the types of serological antibodies, all research subjects were divided into three states: primary infection, previous infection and non-infection. Logistics regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the infection status. Results There were 480 children in this study. The mean age and body mass index of all research subjects were 8.7±1.5 years and 20.78±3.2kg/m2, respectively. There were 276 boys(57.50%) and 204 girls(42.50%). 67 children(12.92%) were positive for VCA-IgM antibody. 326 children(67.92%) were positive for VCA-IgG antibody. 290 children(60.42%) were positive for NA-IgG antibody and 25 children(5.21%) were positive for EA-IgG antibody. There was no significant distribution difference of serological antibodies in gender, season of onset, disease duration, fever, angina and enlargement of lymph nodes. However, there were significant distribution differences of serological antibodies among different body mass index(χ2=50.207, P<0.001) and age(χ2=48.295, P<0.001). According to the types of serological antibodies, all research subjects were divided into three states. There were 78(16.25%) children with primary infection, 335(69.79%) with previous infection and 67(13.96%) with non-infection. Only age was the main factor affecting infection status by Logistic regression analysis(Pprimary infection vs. non-infection<0.001, ORprimary infection vs. non-infection=0.580; Pprevious infection vs. non-infection=0.038, ORprevious infection vs. non-infection=2.347). Conclusion The previous infection by EBV is the mainly infection type in children aged 6 to 12 year. The positive VCA-IgG antibody accounts for the most in previous infection. Age is the important influencing factor on EB infection. The younger the age, the higher the probability of primary infection. Besides, the positive VCA-IgM antibody is the main pattern of primary infection in children.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 190 patients in whom recurrent sites can be identified after radical resection of pancreatic cancer from Sep 2013 to Aug 2020 at the Cangzhou Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The survival time and clinicopathological characteristics of local recurrence were compared with those of other recurrence types. Cox risk regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of local recurrence.Results:The recurrence sites were local (49 cases, 25.8%), liver (53 cases, 27.9%), lung (35 cases, 18.4%), peritoneal (25 cases, 13.2%) and multiple sites (28 cases, 14.7%). Patients mRFS and mOS were 17.8 months and 30.9 months respectively. The clinicopathological features of patients with local recurrence were compared with those of other recurrence types [tumor diameter ( P=0.023), preoperative CA199 level ( P=0.021), peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion ( P=0.031), lymphovascular invasion ( P=0.004), surgical margin state ( P<0.001) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.038)]. Tumor diameter ( P=0.018), peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion ( P=0.002) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.004) were independent factors for local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer, and only peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion was not associated with other recurrence types. Conclusions:Local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer has important impact on the prognosis of patients. Peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion is an independent factor affecting local recurrence.

Objective To analyze the characteristics and changing trend of injury death among elderly residents aged 65 and above in Chongqing from 2013 to 2017, and to provide a basis for formulating intervention strategies for elderly injuries. Methods Based on monitoring data of death causes of permanent residents in Chongqing from 2013 to 2017, the injury death cases of elderly residents aged 65 and above were extracted, and the mortality rate and sequence were calculated. The standard mortality rate was calculated based on the standard population composition of the sixth national population census in 2010. The Joinpoint Regression Program 4.2 software was used to analyze the death trend. Results From 2013 to 2017, the average annual crude injury mortality rate of Chongqing residents aged 65 and above was 140.89/100 000, and the standardized mortality rate was 12.57/100 000. The crude death rate of male elderly residents was higher than that of female residents in the same year (P <0.001), and the injury mortality rate increased with the age of the elderly (P <0.001). The injury mortality rate of female and all elderly residents, and elderly residents in the 75- and 85-year-old groups showed an upward trend (P<0.05). Falls, road traffic injuries, suicide, other accidental injuries and drowning were the top five causes of injury death in Chongqing, accounting for 93.16% of the total injury deaths. In the past five years, the fall mortality of elderly residents in Chongqing showed an upward trend (P < 0.05). Falling was the first cause of injury death for elderly aged 70 and above in Chongqing. The crude rate of death of elderly residents aged 85 and over was 313.52 /100 000. Conclusion The injury mortality and fall mortality of elderly residents aged 65 and above in Chongqing showed a rising trend in the past five years. It is urgent to take measures to prevent injury and falls for seniors in Chongqing.
