Objective:
To investigate the characteristics and trend of stroke incidence in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province from 2016 to 2023, so as to provide the reference for formulating prevention and control strategies of stroke.
Methods:
Data of stroke case in Yixing City from 2016 to 2023 were collected from the National Health Information Platform of Yixing City, including sex, age, time of onset, and diagnostic subtypes. Crude incidence was standardized using the data from the 2010 Chinese National Population Census to analyze the characteristics of stroke incidence. The incidence trend of stroke was analyzed by average annual percent change (AAPC).
Results:
A total of 54 157 stroke cases were reported in Yixing City from 2016 to 2023, with a crude incidence of 629.52/100 000 and a standardized incidence of 299.50/100 000, showing an upward trend (AAPC=9.744% and 5.955%, both P<0.05). The crude and standardized incidence of stroke in males were significantly higher than those in females (695.30/100 000 vs. 565.79/100 000, 328.73/100 000 vs. 270.71/100 000, both P<0.05). Stroke incidence exhibited an age-dependent increase (P<0.05), peaking in the ≥60 years age group (1 820.43/100 000). The crude and standardized incidence of ischemic stroke (555.46/100 000 and 262.26/100 000) were significantly higher than those of hemorrhagic stroke (52.80/100 000 and 28.03/100 000, both P<0.05). From 2016 to 2023, the standardized incidences of stroke in males, females, the 0-<40 years age group, the 40-<60 years age group, the ≥60 years age group, and ischemic stroke all showed an upward trend (AAPC=6.692%, 4.925%, 5.607%, 5.777%, 5.698%, and 8.481%, respectively, all P<0.05). No significant temporal trend was observed for hemorrhagic stroke incidence (P>0.05).
Conclusions
The incidence of stroke among residents in Yixing City showed an upward trend from 2016 to 2023, with males and elderly individuals being high-risk populations. Ischemic stroke emerged as the predominant subtype, while a concerning trend of increasing stroke incidence among younger adults was observed.
2.Relationship of physical fitness index with depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms among college students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(11):1615-1620
Objective:
To investigate the association between the physical fitness index (PFI) and symptoms of depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms among college students, providing a reference for mental health interventions.
Methods:
From June to September 2025, combined convenience and cluster random sampling approach was used to administer questionnaire surveys and perform physical fitness tests on 2 712 college students from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 Items (DASS-21) was used to assess mental health status. Chi square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to determine the associations between the PFI and the PFI component indicators with depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms.
Results:
The prevalence of depressive, anxiety and stress among college students were 24.26%, 33.22% and 13.68%, respectively. Statistically significant differences in the prevalence of these symptoms were detected across groups differing in sleep quality, physical activity, weekly breakfast frequency, and history of low back or neck pain ( χ 2=9.33-151.83, all P <0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, Logistic regression revealed that the moderate and high PFI groups had significantly reduced risks of depressive and anxiety compared to the low PFI group ( OR =0.73, 0.63; 0.61, 0.72, all P <0.05). Poor speed (50 m run) and lower body strength (standing long jump) emerged as common risk factors affecting anxiety and depressive symptoms in both male and female college students (all P <0.05). Increased muscle strength (sit up for 1 min) in female students reduced the risk of depressive ( OR =0.81), anxiety ( OR =0.85), and stress symptoms ( OR =0.79) (all P <0.05). Enhanced lung capacity in male students decreased the risk of depressive ( OR =0.84) and anxiety symptoms ( OR =0.85) (both P <0.05).
Conclusions
The PFI is negatively correlated with depressive and anxiety symptoms among college students with notable gender differences. Insufficient speed and lower body explosive power represent common risk factors for mental health among male and female college students.

The prevalence of Class III malocclusion varies among different countries and regions. The populations from Southeast Asian countries (Chinese and Malaysian) showed the highest prevalence rate of 15.8%, which can seriously affect oral function, facial appearance, and mental health. As anterior crossbite tends to worsen with growth, early orthodontic treatment can harness growth potential to normalize maxillofacial development or reduce skeletal malformation severity, thereby reducing the difficulty and shortening the treatment cycle of later-stage treatment. This is beneficial for the physical and mental growth of children. Therefore, early orthodontic treatment for Class III malocclusion is particularly important. Determining the optimal timing for early orthodontic treatment requires a comprehensive assessment of clinical manifestations, dental age, and skeletal age, and can lead to better results with less effort. Currently, standardized treatment guidelines for early orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusion are lacking. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the etiology, clinical manifestations, classification, and early orthodontic techniques for Class III malocclusion, along with systematic discussions on selecting early treatment plans. The purpose of this expert consensus is to standardize clinical practices and improve the treatment outcomes of Class III malocclusion through early orthodontic treatment.

This study aimed to comprehensively examine the association of gallstones, cholecystectomy, and cancer risk. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to estimate the observational associations of gallstones and cholecystectomy with cancer risk, using data from a nationwide cohort involving 239 799 participants. General and gender-specific two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was further conducted to assess the causalities of the observed associations. Observationally, a history of gallstones without cholecystectomy was associated with a high risk of stomach cancer (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=2.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-4.28), liver and bile duct cancer (aOR=2.46, 95% CI 1.17-5.16), kidney cancer (aOR=2.04, 95% CI 1.05-3.94), and bladder cancer (aOR=2.23, 95% CI 1.01-5.13) in the general population, as well as cervical cancer (aOR=1.69, 95% CI 1.12-2.56) in women. Moreover, cholecystectomy was associated with high odds of stomach cancer (aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.29-4.49), colorectal cancer (aOR=1.83, 95% CI 1.18-2.85), and cancer of liver and bile duct (aOR=2.58, 95% CI 1.11-6.02). MR analysis only supported the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer. This study added evidence to the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer, highlighting the importance of cancer screening in individuals with gallstones.

To compare the differences in clinical features and treatment choices between peripheral spondyloarthritis(pSpA) and axial spondyloarthritis(axSpA), and better understand the clinical characteristics and medication needs of pSpA. Our study is a retrospective cohort study. The patients who first visited the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2016 and December 2022 and were diagnosed with axSpA or pSpA according to the classification criteria established by the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society were selected as the study subjects. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and treatment information of these patients were obtained through the electronic medical records management system and the intelligent management system for spondyloarthritis. The research compared the distribution of swollen and tender joints between pSpA and axSpA patients, as well as that between pSpA1(excluding patients with psoriatic arthritis) and axSpA patients. Additionally, we analyzed differences in clinical features and treatment options among these groups. A total of 1639 patients were included in the study, of which 184 had pSpA(including 97 with psoriatic arthritis), and 1455 had axSpA. Compared to axSpA patients, pSpA patients had fewer male patients(62.5% pSpA patients tend to have a later onset of disease, a lower proportion of male and HLA-B27 positivity, more associated peripheral arthritis, dactylitis, psoriasis, and a more common family history of psoriasis. The disease burden in terms of treatment for pSpA is not lower than that for axSpA. Due to the presence of more peripheral symptoms, psoriasis, and higher levels of inflammation, they also require more medication.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism and pathway of Gandou Fumu decoction (GDFMD) in the development of liver fibrosis in Wilson's disease (WD). MethodFirst, 30 TX-j mice were randomly divided into the model group, high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose GDFMD groups, and penicillamine group, with six mice in each group, and another six wild-type mice were used as the normal group. The high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose GDFMD groups were intragastrically administered drugs of 13.92, 6.96, 3.48 g·kg-1. In the penicillamine group, 0.1 g·kg-1 of penicillamine was given by intragastric administration. The model group and the normal group were given equal volume of normal saline, once a day, for four consecutive weeks. Samples were collected four weeks after gavage, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect type Ⅲ procollagen peptide (PCⅢ), collagen type Ⅳ (Col Ⅳ), hyaluronic acid (HA), and laminin (LN). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Masson, and picric acid-Sirus red collagen (Sirus Red) staining were used to observe the histopathological changes of liver fibrosis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), immunohistochemistry, and Western blot were used to observe the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen type Ⅰ (Col Ⅰ), which were related to the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). The expression of miR-29b-3p was observed by Real-time PCR. The expression of Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) and its downstream-related factors were observed by Western blot. The downstream genes of miR-29b-3p were verified by the dual luciferase reporter gene detection method. ResultCompared with the normal group, the four items of liver fibrosis (PCⅢ, Col Ⅳ, HA, and LN) in the model group were significantly abnormal (P<0.01), and the pathology was significantly abnormal. The expression of HSC activation-related indicators including α-SMA and Col Ⅰ, as well as α-SMA mRNA and Col Ⅰ mRNA was up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and miR-29b-3p expression was down-regulated (P<0.01). ULK1, p-ULK1, autophagy-related gene 13 (Atg13), p-Atg13, Beclin-1, FAK family kinase-interacting protein of 200 kDa (FIP200), activating molecule in BECN1-regulated autophagy protein 1 (AMBKA1), and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ/Ⅰ(LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ) were up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). p62 protein expression was down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the four items of liver fibrosis in the high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose GDFMD groups and the penicillamine group were significantly improve (P<0.01), and the pathological conditions were improved. The expression of HSC activation-related indicators including α-SMA and Col Ⅰ, as well as α-SMA mRNA and Col Ⅰ mRNA was down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of miR-29b-3p was up-regulated (P<0.01). ULK1, p-ULK1, Atg13, p-Atg13, Beclin-1, FIP200, AMBKA1, and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and p62 protein expression was up-regulated (P<0.01). The prediction software predicted that there was a binding site between miR-29b-3p and ULK1. The dual-luciferase reporter gene detection method indicated that the luciferase activity of the ULK1-WT plasmid-transfected cell group was reduced when miR-29b-3p mimics were co-cultured (P<0.01). ConclusionGDFMD can regulate ULK1-mediated autophagy by up-regulating miR-29b-3p and further exert its anti-hepatic fibrosis effect in Wilson's disease.

Objective:To analyze the prenatal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of fetuses with 17q12 microdeletion or microduplication.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2022, 14 fetuses diagnosed with 17q12 microdeletion and three with 17q12 microduplication by chromosomal microarray analysis folloning invasive prenatal diagnostic techniques at Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Relevant articles up to February 1, 2023, were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, and Yiigle with the terms "17q12 microdeletion", "17q12 microduplication", "prenatal diagnosis", and "pregnancy outcome". Eighty-four 17q12 microdeletion cases and fourteen 17q12 microduplication cases were retrieved. Prenatal ultrasound features and pregnancy outcomes of those fetuses were analyzed and summarized.Results:In this study, ninety-eight 17q12 microdeletion cases and seventeen 17q12 microduplication cases were analyzed. (1) 17q12 microdeletion: The prenatal ultrasound showed all the 17q12 microdeletion cases had renal abnormalities (100.0%, 98/98), and renal hyperechogenicity was detected in 81.6% (80/98) of them; pedigree analysis suggested that 74.2% (49/66) mutations were de novo; 64.1% (41/64) of pregnant women chose to terminate the pregnancy and 35.9%(23/64) chose to continue pregnancy; eight out of 12 live births who were followed up had different degrees of abnormalities and four were normal during the follow-up period. (2) 17q12 microduplication: Among the 17 fetuses, 10 had upper gastrointestinal obstruction; pedigree analysis suggested that four were de novo mutations (4/13); nine out of 14 pregnant women with reported pregnancy outcomes chose to terminate the pregnancy, and five continued the pregnancy to delivery; follow up of the live births found that four neonates were normal and one had a good prognosis after surgery. Conclusions:Fetuses with 17q12 microdeletion often show renal hyperechogenicity in ultrasound images, and most mutations were de novo with poor prognosis. 17q12 microduplication in fetuses is often characterized by upper gastrointestinal obstruction, and most inherited from their parents.

Objective:To understand the composition of respiratory virus spectrum in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections in Guilin City from 2021 to 2022, and to explore the epidemic characteristics of different respiratory viruses.Methods:Information of a total of 638 hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections (ARI) syndrome under the age of 14 years in Guilin city, Guangxi from September 2021 to October 2022 was collected as research data. The collected pharyngeal swabs from pediatric patients were subjected to real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for nucleic acid testing, screening for 15 common respiratory viruses, and analyzing the virus spectrum characteristics of hospitalized pediatric patients with acute respiratory infections.Results:Among the 638 specimens, 365 were tested positive for at least one virus, with a positive rate of 57.21% (365/638). The detection rate for two or more viruses was 12.85% (82/638). There were 12 types of viruses detected, and the difference in virus detection rates among different seasons was statistically significant (P<0.002). The virus positive detection rate of samples from different age groups was the highest in the 0-2-year old group (40.66%), followed by the 3-5-year old group (34.80%) and the 6-year and older group (24.54%).Conclusions:During the period from September 2021 to October 2022, all 12 respiratory viruses were prevalent in Guilin area, with obvious summer peak as characteristics. It is suggested that corresponding prevention and control measures should be focused on pathogens that may cause acute respiratory infections in children during the local summer to prevent and control the spread and prevalence of respiratory infections.
