Objective: To investigate the availability and use of child safety seats among children aged 0-3 years, so as to provide the basis for improving riding safety for children. Methods: Parents of children aged 0-3 years in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality, were recruited using the stratified multistage random sampling method from May to July 2024. Demographic information, family travel patterns, the use of child safety seat and related health beliefs were collected using questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting the use of child safety seats were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 514 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 96.98%. The respondents included 122 fathers (23.74%) and 392 mothers (76.26%), with a median age of 34.00 (interquartile range, 5.00) years. There were 446 families equipping with child safety seats, accounting for 86.77%; and 169 families using child safety seats, accounting for 32.88%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the parents who had children aged >1-2 years (OR=0.597, 95%CI: 0.366-0.973), travelled 2-4 times per month (OR=0.359, 95%CI: 0.213-0.607) or once per month or less (OR=0.384, 95%CI: 0.202-0.729), and scored high in perceived barrier (OR=0.634, 95%CI: 0.486-0.827) were less likely to use child safety seats; the parents who had children with local household registration (OR=2.506, 95%CI: 1.356-4.633), travelled 5-<10 km (OR=1.887, 95%CI: 1.148-3.101) or ≥10 km (OR=2.319, 95%CI: 1.355-3.967), always wore seat belts (OR=2.342, 95%CI: 1.212-4.524), scored high in perceived susceptibility (OR=1.392, 95%CI: 1.091-1.778) and self-efficacy (OR=1.413, 95%CI: 1.156-1.727) were more likely to use child safety seats. Conclusions Equipping family cars with child safety seats and using them can prevent and reduce traffic injuries among children aged 0-3 years. It is recommended to strengthen publicity to promote the use of child safety seats.

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of lung cancer in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2002 to 2019, so as to provide the evidence for formulating lung cancer prevention and control measures. Methods: Data of lung cancer incidence and mortality among residents in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019 were collected through the Shanghai Cancer Registration and Reporting Management System. The crude incidence and mortality of lung cancer was calculated, and standardized by the data from the Chinese Fifth National Population Census in 2000 (Chinese-standardized rate) and the Segi's world standard population in 1960 (world-standardized rate). The trends in incidence and mortality of lung cancer among residents by age and gender were evaluated using annual percent change (APC). Results: A total of 12 965 cases of lung cancer were reported in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the crude incidence rate was 80.66/105, the Chinese-standardized incidence rate was 34.54/105, and the world-standardized incidence rate was 31.30/105, all showing upward trends (APC=4.588%, 2.933% and 3.247%, all P<0.05). A total of 10 102 deaths of lung cancer were reported, and the crude mortality rate was 62.30/105, showing an upward trend (APC=0.959%, P<0.05); the Chinese-standardized mortality was 25.93/105, and the world-standardized mortality was 22.05/105, both showing downward trends (APC=-1.282% and -1.263%, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer in males were higher than those in females (101.39/105 vs. 60.52/105, 85.45/105 vs. 39.87/105, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer showed upward trends with age (both P<0.05), reaching their peaks in the age groups of 80-<85 years (341.37/105) and 85 years or above (355.97/105), respectively. Conclusions The incidence of lung cancer showed an upward trend, while the mortality showed a downward trend in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019. Elderly men were the high-risk group for lung cancer incidence and mortality.

Objective To investigate the levels of gross α and gross β activities in different water types within a 40-kilometer radius around the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant prior to its operation. Methods In 2018, drinking water samples were collected from the area surrounding the nuclear power plant during both the wet and dry seasons, including source water, treated water, tap water, and well water. The gross α and gross β activity concentrations were measured using a low-background α/β counter, followed by statistical analysis. Results A total of 80 water samples from different sources around the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant were collected. The average gross α and gross β activity concentrations during the wet season were (0.110 ± 0.036) Bq/L and (0.643 ± 0.028) Bq/L, respectively, while those during the dry season were (0.124 ± 0.032) Bq/L and (0.624 ± 0.026) Bq/L, respectively. There were no significant differences in the gross α and gross β activity concentrations between the wet and dry seasons for the overall sample set (P > 0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences in the gross α and gross β activity concentrations between the wet and dry seasons for source water and well water (Z_wet = −2.005, −2.123; Z_dry = −1.943, −3.090; P < 0.05). Conclusion The radioactivity levels in different water types within various ranges around the Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant before its operation were determined. The measured activity concentrations were at the same level as those from previous investigations in other regions of Fujian Province.

Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of resveratrol (RES) in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) through the use of biological information methods such as network pharmacology and molecular docking and to provide a theoretical reference for the clinical application of RES in the treatment of OSCC. Methods: The Swiss Target Prediction(http://www.swisstargetprediction.ch), SEA (http://sea.bkslab.org)database, and Pharm mapper database(http://lilab-ecust.cn) were used to retrieve RES-related targets, and the DISGENET (www.disgenet.org), OMIM (https://omim.org) and GeneCards (https://www.genecards.org) databases were used to screen OSCC disease targets. The intersection of drugs and disease targets was determined, and Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct a "drug-diseasetarget pathway" network. The Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database was used to construct a target protein interaction network, and the DAVID database was used for enrichment analysis of key proteins. Finally, molecular docking validation of key proteins was performed using AutoDock and PyMOL. The enrichment analysis and molecular docking results were integrated to predict the possible molecular mechanisms of RES treatment in OSCC; western blot was used to determine the effect of resveratrol at different concentrations (50, 100) μmol/L on the expression of Src tyrosine kinase (SRC), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), estrogen receptor gene 1 (ESR1), and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway proteins in OSCC HSC-3 cells. Results: A total of 243 targets of RES drugs and 6 094 targets of OSCC were identified. A total of 116 potential common targets were obtained by intersecting drugs with disease targets. These potential targets mainly participate in biological processes such as in vivo protein self-phosphorylation, peptide tyrosine phosphorylation, transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway, and positive regulation of RNA polymerase Ⅱ promoter transcription, and they interfere with the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to exert anti-OSCC effects. The docking results of resveratrol with OSCC molecules indicated that key targets, such as EGFR, ESR1, and SRC, have good binding activity. The results of cell-based experiments showed that resveratrol inhibited the protein expression of SRC, EGFR, ESR1, p-PI3K, and p-AKT in HSC-3 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion RES can inhibit the expression of its targets EGFR, ESR1, SRC, p-PI3K, and p-AKT in OSCC cells.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Wumei pill on ulcerative colitis(UC)in mice based on the anti oxidative stress pathway of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/antioxidant response element(ARE).Methods Seventy SPF male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group,the UC group,the mesalazine group(MES group,0.82 g/kg MES),the low dose Wumei pill group(WMW-L group,5 g/kg crude drug),the middle dose Wumei pill group(WMW-M group,10 g/kg crude drug),the high dose Wumei pill group(WMW-H group,20 g/kg crude drug)and the high dose Wumei pills+Nrf2 inhibitor ML-385 group(WMW-H+ML-385 group,Wumei pills crude drug 20 g/kg+20 mg/kg ML-385),with 10 rats in each group.The disease activity index(DAI)score and colonic mucosa injury score were performed in mice after the last administration.Pathological changes of colonic mucosa in mice were observed by HE staining.The levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and IL-6 in serum and colon tissue of mice were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The content of malondialdehyde(MDA)in serum and colon tissue of mice was determined by thiobarbituric acid colorimetry(TBA).The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)in serum and colon tissue of mice was measured by xanthine oxidase method.The activity of glutathione peroxidase(GSH-px)in serum and colon tissue of mice was determined by direct method with dithiodinitrobenzoic acid(DTNB).The positive expression of Nrf2 in colon tissue of mice was observed by immunohistochemistry.The expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1(NQO1)proteins in colon tissue of mice were detected by Western blot assay.Results Compared with the control group,the DAI score,colonic mucosa injury score,colonic histopathology score,levels of IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA in serum and colonic tissue,and expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 protein in colonic tissue of mice were increased in the UC group,levels of SOD and GSH-px in serum and colon tissue decreased(P＜0.05),the colon mucosa of mice was seriously damaged.Compared with the UC group,changes of corresponding indexes were contrary to the above in the MES group,the WMW-M group and the WMW-H group.However,the expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 proteins in colon tissue were increased(P＜0.05),and the damage of colon mucosa in mice was alleviated.Changes of the above indexes were dose-dependent in the WMW-L group,the WMW-M group and the WMW-H group.There were no significant differences in the above indexes between the WMW-H group and the MES group.ML-385 attenuated the improvement effect of high dose Wumei pill on colon mucosa injury.Conclusion Wumei pill may alleviate the colon mucosal damage of UC mice by activating Nrf2/ARE antioxidant stress pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical phenotype and genetic variation of Basel-Vanagaite-Smirin-Yosef syndrome (BVSYS), and to enhance clinicians′ knowledge of the disease.Methods:The clinical data of a child with BVSYS admitted to the Department of Neurological Rehabilitation, Qingdao Women and Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University in February 2023 were collected. Whole genome sequencing was used to analyze the pathogenic genes of the child, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the suspected mutation sites of the family members. The clinical phenotype and genetic variation characteristics were analyzed, and the clinical characteristics of BVSYS were summarized in combination with relevant literature.Results:The patient, a female aged 3 years and 1 month, presented with global developmental delay, speech disorder, distinctive facial features, esotropia, epilepsy, hypotonia and atrial septal defect. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral ventriculomegaly with abnormal signal intensity in the posterior bodies of both lateral ventricles and thinning of the corpus callosum. The whole genome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation c.518 (exon5) T>C (p.IIe173Thr) in the MED25 gene of the child, and Sanger sequencing confirmed that her parents and elder brother carried the aforementioned heterozygous mutation, which was classified as a likely pathogenic mutation according to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. A total of 22 cases from 6 literature sources were retrieved, with no reported cases in China so far. Conclusions:BVSYS is clinically rare. For patients presenting with unexplained global developmental delay or intellectual disability combined with craniofacial, neurological, cardiac, and eye abnormalities, targeted genetic testing can facilitate a definite diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with cryptogenic stroke with different right-to-left shunt (RLS) and possible mechanisms.Methods:Acute ischemic stroke patients aged 18-65 years, who admitted to the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from April 2012 to July 2022, were etiologically classified according to the TOAST criteria. Cryptogenic stroke patients further underwent contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler (cTCD) examination. Patients with RLS (RLS grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ) were divided into large shunt group (RLS grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ, under normal breathing or after Valsalva manoeuvre) and small shunt group (RLS grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ, under normal breathing or after Valsalva manoeuvre). The chi-square test,Fisher's exact probability method and one-way analysis of variance were used to compare clinical and neuroimaging data between the 2 groups. And the RLS related factors as well as mechanisms of RLS-related stroke were further discussed through Spearman correlation and multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 167 cryptogenic stroke patients with RLS were included in this study. The male to female ratio was 88∶79. The onest age was (45.27±9.02) years. In the large shunt group, there were 92 patients (55.1%) with onset age of (45.61±9.32) years. In this group, 35 patients (38.0%) were males, 9 (9.8%) had hypertension, and 18 (19.6%) had smoking history; the Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) score was 7.08±0.12. In the small shunt group, there were 75 patients (44.9%) with onest age of (44.85±8.68) years. In this group, 53 patients (70.7%) were males, 29 (38.7%) had hypertension, and 31 (41.3%) had smoking history; the RoPE score was 6.20±0.14. Males (χ 2=17.640, P<0.001) as well as hypertension (χ 2=19.611, P<0.001) and smoking history (χ 2=9.443, P<0.01) were significantly less common in the large shunt group than in the small shunt group, while the RoPE score in the large shunt group was higher than that in the small shunt group ( F=21.580, P<0.001). All 6 pulmonary arteriovenous fistula cases (6.5%, 6/92) belonged to the large shunt group. There was no pulmonary arteriovenous fistula patient in the small shunt group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in age of onset, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, previous stroke/transient ischemic attack, or family history of stroke between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that female ( OR=2.848, 95 %CI 1.223-6.632, P<0.05) and no history of hypertension ( OR=3.937, 95 %CI 1.593-9.727, P<0.01) were significantly associated with large shunt. The neuroimaging features were analyzed through comparing offending vessels as well as spatial distribution of lesions between the 2 groups. Results:showed that infarct location of 54 cases (58.7%) was in the unilateral anterior circulation area, 34 cases (37.0%) in the posterior circulation area, no case in the bilateral anterior circulation area, and both of anterior and posterior circulation areas were involved in 4 cases (4.3%) in the large shunt group. Of all the large shunt group patients, 31 (33.7%) had cortical infarcts, 9 (9.8%) had subcortical infarcts, 36 (39.1%) had deep infarcts, and 16 (17.4%) had mixed multiple infarcts. In the small shunt group, infarct location of 36 cases (48.0%) was in the unilateral anterior circulation area, 29 cases (38.7%) in the posterior circulation area, 4 cases (5.3%) in the bilateral anterior circulation area, and both of anterior and posterior circulation areas were involved in 7 cases (9.3%). Of all the small shunt group patients, 7 (9.3%) had cortical infarcts, 8 (10.7%) had subcortical infarcts, 39 (52.0%) had deep infarcts, and 21 (28.0%) had mixed multiple infarcts. Logistic regression analysis showed that cortical infarction was associated with large shunt ( OR=5.981,95 %CI 1.882-19.007, P<0.01), and there was no statistically significant difference in other types of infarction distribution between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Among cryptogenic stroke patients with RLS, large shunt was more common in females, patients with no history of hypertension, and those with higher RoPE score as well as more cortical infarction, suggesting that there was a strong link between stroke and large RLS, which revealed the underlying mechanism of embolism in patients with stroke and large RLS. In the small shunt group, there were more males and hypertensive patients, suggesting atherosclerosis was more likely involved in pathogenic mechanism of stroke patients with small RLS.
