Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(8):1074-1078
Objective:
To explore the association between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age, providing scientific evidences for the prevention and control of childhood obesity.
Methods:
A total of 2 432 mother-child pairs with maternal lipid tests during pregnancy and offspring s physical growth data at 3 years of age were included from the Borin in Guangzhou Cohort Study up to September 2021. Lipid indicators, including high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC), were measured at 13-19 +6 weeks (mid pregnancy) and 32-39 +6 weeks (late pregnancy). Children s body mass index (BMI) Z score were calculated according to the World Health Organization s growth standards for children under 5 years old. The lipid Z score were divided into four quartiles: Q 1, Q 2, Q 3 and Q 4. Linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and offspring’s BMI Z score at 3 years of age. Poisson regression with a robust error variance was employed to evaluate the association between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and the at risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age, after adjusting for maternal age at conception, education level, parity, pre pregnancy BMI and gestational diabetes mellitus.
Results:
There was a statistically significnt difference in the detection rate of overweight and obesity risk among children with different mothers s pre pregnancy BMI ( χ 2=22.85, P <0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that TG levels in late pregnancy were positively related to BMI Z score ( β=0.10, 95%CI=0.02-0.18, P <0.05). Poisson regression with a robust error variance indicated that, compared with the Q 1 group of TC, the Q 4 group of TC in mid pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age ( RR=1.59, 95%CI =1.04-2.44); compared with the Q 1 group of TG, the Q 4 group of TG during late pregnancy increased the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age ( RR=1.79, 95%CI =1.02-3.12) (both P <0.05).
Conclusions
Maternal serum TC level during mid pregnancy can increase the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age. Maternal serum TG levels during late pregnancy is positively correlated with BMI and the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age.

Objective:To explore high-risk sexual behaviors of HIV/AIDS and related factors in young students in Guangzhou.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 5 different types of Guangzhou colleges by convenience sampling with minimum number of classes per grade and 600 samples per school from September to November 2021. The R 4.2.2 software was used to consolidate databases. Simultaneously, a logistic regression model and a decision tree algorithm model, stratifying by whether sexual behaviors had occurred before, were constructed. In each layer, the prediction performance of the two models was evaluated through area under receiver operating characteristic and the confusion matrix, and then the model with high prediction performance was retained.Results:A total of 7 346 students were surveyed. The proportion of the respondents reporting sexual experience were 9.08% (667/7 346), in whom 26.24% (175/667) had risky sexual activity in the past year. The decision tree algorithm model performs well in predicting whether high-risk sexual behaviors have occurred in the past year. When the complexity parameter value is 0.018, and nsplit reaches 4, which means there are 5 leaf nodes in the model, the cross error of the tree will be the smallest. The first best grouping variable in the decision tree was whether to use condoms throughout the first sexual behavior. If condoms were used at their sexual debut, but homosexual practices have occurred in the past year, the probability of risky sexual behavior will increase. If homosexual practices have not occurred in the past year, but the age of sexual debut was below 18 years old while the period of HIV education was after high school, the probability of risk sexual behavior will also increase.Conclusions:AIDS-related risky behaviors of young students still deserved attention. The experience of sexual debut and whether AIDS-related health education has been received before the sexual debut were significant predictors for the occurrence of high-risk sexual behavior. The decision tree algorithm model has particular applicability for predicting and screening potential risk populations.

Cardiovascular diseases is the leading cause of threat to human life and health worldwide. Early risk assessment, timely diagnosis, and prognosis evaluation are critical to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Currently, the evaluation of diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases mainly relies on imaging examinations such as coronary CT and coronary angiography, which are expensive, time-consuming, partly invasive, and require high professional competence of the operator, making it difficult to promote in the community or in areas where medical resources are scarce. The fundus microcirculation is a part of the human microcirculation and has similar embryological origins and physiopathological features to cardiovascular circulation. Several studies have revealed fundus imaging biomarkers associated with cardiovascular diseases, and developed and validated intelligent diagnosis and treatment models for cardiovascular diseases based on fundus imaging data. Fundus imaging is expected to be an important adjunct to cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment given its noninvasive and convenient nature. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current research status, challenges, and future prospects of the application of artificial intelligence based on multimodal fundus imaging data in cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the risk perception for risky behavior of HIV/AIDS infection among young students and to analyze the related influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 5 different types of Guangzhou colleges from September to November 2021, in which convenience sampling and a minimum number of classes per grade and 600 samples per school were used according to the national unity program. Disordered multi-classification logistic regression was used to construct a risk perception model and analyze influencing factors in different risk perception levels.Results:A total of 7 346 young students were surveyed, and most rated themselves at low risk of HIV/AIDS infections (90.58%, 6 654/7 346). A total of 89.10% (6 545/7 346) of subjects' perception of their HIV/AIDS infection risk was consistent with their risk behavior, while 10.90% (801/7 346) was inconsistent. Among those inconsistent subjects, 19.10% (153/801) showed underestimating their risk , while 80.90% (648/801) seen overestimating their risk. Disordered multi-classification logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for other factors, compared with the non-sexual group, respondents whose first sex age under 18 had a higher rate of underestimating their risk of infection ( OR=129.39, 95% CI: 73.28-228.48), as well as a higher rate of overestimated their risk of infection ( OR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.04-2.99). First sexual intercourse at age 18 or older was a risk factor for underestimating risk ( OR=70.56, 95% CI: 42.72-116.53), but was not statistically associated with overestimating risk. Being female, other school type, non-heterosexual orientation, and self-rated HIV-related knowledge as fair or no knowledge were risk factors for overestimating risk but were not statistically associated with underestimating risk. Conclusions:Overall, young students in universities of Guangzhou have a good risk perception of HIV/AIDS infection. Individual factors, education factors and sexual experience will influence students' risk perception of HIV/AIDS infection. Raising the awareness rate of HIV/AIDS knowledge and delaying the age of first sexual intercourse will improve the risk perception ability of young students.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of blood donation related self-efficacy on blood donation intention, in order to provide valuable reference for formulating the recruitment and service strategy for blood donors with different demographic characteristics. 【Methods】 A questionnaire was designed based on psychological self-efficacy theory, and respondents in Nanchong city were taken as the research objects. The data of demographic characteristics, blood donation related self-efficacy measurement and blood donation intention measurement of the respondents who were randomly selected by convenient sampling method were collected and analyzed by rank sum test. 【Results】 The number of previous blood donation was significantly correlated with blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention, and there was a strong positive correlation between blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention (r=0.618). There are significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy or blood donation intention of respondents with different blood donation experiences (P<0.05), and respondents who donated blood twice or more showed relatively strong blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention. Significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy or blood donation intention among respondents were noticed in gender, age or education level(P<0.05), and males or 30~39 years old respondents, or respondents with bachelor degree or above have relatively strong blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention. Significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy were noticed among respondents with different occupations (P<0.05), but no significant difference was noticed in blood donation intention (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Blood donation intention can be increased by enhancing the blood donation related self-efficacy of respondents. We can focus on the recruitment of respondents with high self-efficacy in the areas covered by the survey during the practice of blood donor recruitment and service to achieve higher recruitment efficiency. In the meantime, special attention should also be paid to the people with relatively low self-efficacy and high-quality services should be provided t to expand blood donor team. Furthermore, blood donor recruitment and services can be appropriately expanded to the countryside as needed.

Objective:To explore the correlations of micro-calcification load in carotid plaques and plaque vulnerability scores detected by Micropure? ultrasonic technology with 18F-sodium fluoride ( 18F-NaF) uptake ratio (tissue-background ratio [TBR]) in positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). Methods:Baseline data of patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to November 2020 were collected. Carotid arteries of these patients simultaneously positive on Micropure? ultrasound examination and 18F-NaF PET-CT were included. The number of spots in carotid plaques detected by Micropure? ultrasonic technology was defined as load of micro-calcification: they were divided into large number of micro-calcifications group (≥5 spots) and small number of micro-calcifications group (1-4 spots). The scores of carotid plaque vulnerability were evaluated according to carotid atherosclerosis scores in Diagnostic Value of Carotid Atherosclerosis Score for Ischemic Stroke. Correlations of TBR with micro-calcification load and plaque vulnerability scores in these 39 carotid arteries were analyzed. Results:Thirty-nine carotid arteries from 28 patients were enrolled: 24 carotid arteries were classified into the large number of micro-calcifications group and 15 carotid arteries were classified into the small number of micro-calcifications group. TBR of the large number of micro-calcifications group (2.61±0.73) was significantly increased as cpmpared with that of the small number of micro-calcifications group (1.93±0.43, t=-3.657, P=0.001). In the 39 carotid arteries, micro-calcification load was 5(3, 5), while the carotid plaque vulnerability scores were 2 (2, 3); micro-calcification load was positively correlated with TBR (2.35±0.71, r s=0.519, P=0.001), but no correlation was noted between TBR and carotid plaque vulnerability scores ( r s=0.086, P=0.602). Conclusion:Carotid plaque micro-calcification load detected by Micropure? ultrasound examination is associated with 18F-NaF uptake ratio; the larger the micro-calcification load, the more obvious the uptake of 18F-NaF.

Objective:To investigate the effects of of anti tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in adjuvant treatment of strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis.Methods:From February 2011 to August 2016 in Huadu District People′s Hospital Affiliated with Southern Medical University, 122 patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis were selected and were equally divided into the experimental group and control group with 61 cases in each group according to the random draw envelope principle. Conventional surgical resection and anastomosis was used in control group, the postoperative anti TNF-α therapy was given for 2 weeks based on the treatment in control group.Results:All patients completed surgery and there were no serious complications during operation.The postoperative anal exhaust time and symptom remission time in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group: (2.14 ± 0.41) d vs. (6.24 ± 1.28) d and (3.54 ± 0.77) d vs. (6.99 ± 0.91) d ( P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative 14 d complications such as anastomotic leakage, wound infection, anastomotic stenosis and pulmonary infection in the experimental group was 4.9%(3/61), and that of the control group was 18%(11/61), and the incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The postoperative 1d and 7 d serum TNF-α content in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The postoperative 14 d anal function in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group ( P<0.05). MRASP and MSP of postoperative 14 d in experimental group were all significantly higher than those in the control group: (80.24 ± 11.39) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (76.24 ± 12.11) mmHg, (231.98 ± 45.29) mmHg vs. (226.39 ± 41.87) mmHg ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The anti TNF-α in adjuvant treatment of strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis can promote the recovery of clinical symptoms and inhibit the release of TNF-α. It also can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and improve gastrointestinal motility of patients.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of quantitative evaluation of extracellular volume (ECV) fraction in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by dual-layer spectral detector CT.Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 20 patients with STEMI who underwent cardiac contrast-enhanced CT and MRI from January to October 2019 in Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed.The dual spectral detector was used in the enhanced CT scan of the coronary artery with retrospectively gate and the late iodine enhancement with prospective gate. Conventional image and holographic spectral image were obtained by iterative and spectral reconstruction. The short axis image of the heart matched with MR image was obtained by multiplanar reconstruction. Based on the data of spectral based image, the IDD map was reconstructed for the calculation of myocardial CT-ECV during the late iodine enhancement. ECV of infarcted myocardium, salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium based on CT and MRI were calculated respectively. Bland-Altman consistency test and intra group correlation coefficient analysis (ICC) were used to compare the consistency of two measurements and different methods. The correlation between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV was compared by Spearman method.Results:The CT-ECV values of infarcted, salvageable, and remote myocardium were 51.21 (49.27, 53)%, 38.64 (36.17, 40)%, and 51.21 (49.27, 53)%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( H= 43.17, P<0.01). The CT-ECV value of infarcted myocardium was significantly higher than that of salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium ( Z=-24.60, 35.40, P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium ( Z= 10.80, P=0.15). The T 1 values of infarcted myocardium, salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium were (1 554.85±70.94), (1 443.85±67.28) and (1 307.05±91.73) ms respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( F=51.35, P<0.01). The T 1 value of infarcted myocardium was higher than that of salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium ( t=-5.07, 9.55, P<0.01), and salvageable myocardium was significantly higher than that of remote myocardium ( t=5.38, P<0.01). The MRI-ECV values of infarcted myocardium, salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium were 55.00 (49.27, 57.75)%, 33.50 (29.00, 35.00)%,and 27.00 (26.00, 29.00)%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( Z= 47.12, P<0.01). MRI-ECV of infarcted myocardium was significantly higher than that of salvageable myocardium and remote myocardium ( Z=37.45, -20.30, P< 0.01), and salvageable myocardium was significantly higher than that of remote myocardium ( Z = 17.15, P<0.05). The difference between CT-ECV and MRI-ECV measured by two physicians was good. The bias of Bland-Altman analysis was -0.1% (95% CI:-5.5%-5.2%), 0.8% (95% CI:-9.8%-8.2%), and the ICC values were 0.92 and 0.94, respectively. The bias of Bland-Altman analysis in CT-ECV and MRI-ECV consistency test was 4.00% (95% CI:-9.0%-16.9%) and ICC value was 0.88, which had a good correlation ( r=0.75, P=0.001). Conclusions:The iodine density based ECV fromdual-layer spectral detector CT can be used to quantitatively evaluate the changes of extracellular space after acute STEMI, which is helpful to quantitatively evaluate the histological changes after myocardial ischemia.

Cancer Research and Treatment 2020;52(3):671-679
Purpose:
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the distribution pattern and prognostic value of 21-gene recurrence score (RS) in Chinese patients with mucinous breast cancer (MC) and compared with infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC).
Materials and Methods:
Patients diagnosed with MC or IDC from January 2010 to January 2017 were retrospectively recruited. Reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction assay of 21 genes was conducted to calculate the RS. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the association between RS and clinicopathological factors. Survival outcomes including disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test.
Results:
The MC cohort included 128 patients and the IDC cohort included 707 patients. The proportions of patients with a low (RS < 18), intermediate (18-30), or high risk (RS > 30) were 32.0%, 48.4%, and 19.5% in MC cohort, and 26.9%, 46.8% and 26.3% in IDC cohort. The distribution of RS varied significantly according to different Ki-67 index and molecular subtype in both cohorts. Moreover, the receipt of chemotherapy was associated with RS in both cohorts. Among patients with MC, tumor stage was related to the DFS (p=0.040). No significant differences in DFS and OS were found among MC patients in different RS risk groups (OS, p=0.695; DFS, p=0.926).
Conclusion
RS was significantly related to Ki-67 index and molecular subtypes in MC patients, which is similar in IDC patients. However, RS was not able to predict DFS and OS in patients with MC.
