Abstract To analyzes the characteristics, problems and enlightenment of physical activity observation tools, so as to provide reference for researchers to quickly and accurately choose appropriate observation tools to evaluate children s and adolescents physical activity. Literature search is conducted in eight databases of Chinese and English, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, ERIC, and SPORTDiscus. Ultimately, eight observation tools for assessing physical activity in children and adolescents are included. Through summarization and comparison, it is found that the applications of those tools cover multiple age groups, the observation indicators cover multiple dimensions for each with varying emphases, and the applicable contexts vary in their specific background information, and recording methods tend to be quantitative. However, several issues remain to be addressed in practical applications. First, the observation indicators need to be supplemented and improved; second, physical activity in community environments and academic classrooms requires further attention; third, physical activity intensity needs to be scientifically evaluated; fourth, observation and recording methods need to be integrated and innovated; fifth, the number of observation subjects needs to be expanded. Future research could focus on developing observation tools tailored to the characteristics of Chinese children and adolescents, while drawing on foreign observation tools to comprehensively assess physical activity among children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the inhaled allergen sensitization status of children with allergic rhinitis in Beijing City, and to provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment, allergen avoidance and disease management.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, data from 8 741 children with allergic rhinitis treated in Children′s Hospital affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The subjects were divided into toddlers (1 y-≤3 y), preschool children (3 y-≤6 y), school aged children (6 y-≤12 y) and adolescents (12 y-≤18 y) and according to season the subjects were divided 4 groups: spring, summer, autumn, winter. The ImmunoCAP system was used to detect serum allergens sIgE.Results:The positive rates of inhaled allergens among subjects in sequence from high to low were: mx2 [molds (penicillium speciosum/mycosporum multiflorum/aspergillus fumigatus/alternatia/demodex longum)], w6 (artemisiaargyi), wx5[weeds pollen combination (ragweed/artemisia argyi/marguerite/dandelion/goldenrod)], w1(ragweed), tx5[trees pollen combination (populus tomentosa/hazel/elm/willow)], d2(dermatophagoides farina), d1(dermatophagoides pteronyssinus), ex1[animal dander combination (catdander/dogdander/horsedander/cowdander)], i6(blattella germanica). Boys have higher positive rates of sIgE responses than girls (54.20% vs. 47.96%, χ 2= 8 923.000, P<0. 001). The primacy inhaled allergen in toddlers, preschool children and school aged children was mx2 (37.75%, 39.99% and 42.46%), and in adolescents w6 (45.45%), d2 (41.51%) and d1 (37.74%) were the largest categories. Except for mold, the positive detection rate of inhaled allergens increased gradually with age. In different seasons, the positive rates of ex1 (24.77% vs. 18.26% vs. 17.10% vs. 12.39%, χ 2= 31.469, P<0.001), wx5 (20.18% vs. 28.62% vs. 39.96% vs. 12.53%, χ 2= 155.788, P<0.001), mx2 (31.79% vs. 50.96% vs. 36.99 vs. 28.81, χ 2= 208.444, P<0.001), tx5 (28.14% vs. 27.01% vs. 26.77% vs. 9.64%, χ 2= 60.613, P<0.001) and w6 (26.57% vs. 34.39% vs. 52.11% vs. 25.35%, χ 2= 17.710, P<0.001) were statistically different among groups. Mx2 in spring and summer was the highest categories (31.79%, 50.96%), and w6 in autumn was the highest (52.11%). Conclusions:In this study, mx2 was the most important allergen in children (≤12 y) and w6 was the highest in adolescents treated in Children′s Hospital affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2020 to December 2021 in Beijing City. The types of allergens and positivity rates were different for different sexes, ages and seasons.

Objective To investigate the expression of miR-30a-5p and miR-129-5p in the serum of patients with non-small cell lung cancer after EGFR targeted therapy and their relationship with the therapeutic effect.Methods A total of 186 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who received EGFR targeted therapy in our hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were regarded as research objects.According to the efficacy of patients,they were separated into effective group(n=141)and ineffective group(n=45).The serum levels of miR-30a-5p and miR-129-5p were compared between the two groups;multivariate logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors influencing the efficacy of non-small cell lung cancer;receiver operating characteristic was applied to analyze the predictive value of serum miR-30a-5p,miR-129-5p levels for efficacy of non-small cell lung cancer.Results There were obvious differences in smoking history and TNM stage between the ineffective group and the effective group(P＜0.05).The expression levels of miR-30a-5p and miR-129-5p in the ineffective group were obviously lower than those in the effective group(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum miR-30a-5p,miR-129-5p,smoking history,and TNM stage were all factors influencing the efficacy of non-small cell lung cancer(P＜0.05).Receiver operating characteristic showed that the AUC of the combination of serum miR-30a-5p and miR-129-5p to predict the efficacy of non-small cell lung cancer was 0.926,the sensitivity was 91.11％,and the specificity was 83.69％,which was better than their respective predictions(Z combination-miR-30a-5P=3.260,Zcombination-miR-129-5p=3.726,P=0.001,0.000).Conclusion The serum levels of miR-30a-5p and miR-129-5p in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who failed to respond to EGFR targeted therapy are obviously lower than those in the effective group;The combination of the two has a good predictive value for the efficacy of non-small cell lung cancer after EGFR targeted therapy.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with a bone marrow nucleated erythroid cell proportion of greater than or equal to 50% (MDS-E) .Methods:The clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with MDS-E were retrospectively analyzed by collecting the case data of 1 436 newly treated patients with MDS diagnosed in the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from May 2014 to June 2023.Results:A total of 1 436 newly diagnosed patients with complete data were included in the study, of which 337 (23.5%) patients with MDS-E had a younger age of onset and lower neutrophil and platelet counts compared with those in patients with an erythroid cell proportion of less than 50% (MDS-NE) (all P<0.05). The proportion of MDS cases with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS) was higher in the MDS-E group than in the MDS-NE group, and multi-hit TP53 mutations were more enriched in the MDS-E group than in the MDS-NE group (all P<0.05). Among patients with MDS-RS, the frequency of complex karyotypes and the TP53 mutation rate were significantly lower in the MDS-E group than in the MDS-NE group (0 vs 11.9%, P=0.048 and 2.4% vs 15.1%, P=0.053, respectively). Among patients with TP53 mutations, the frequencies of complex karyotypes and multi-hit TP53 mutations were significantly higher in the MDS-E group than in the MDS-NE group (87.5% vs 64.6%, P=0.003 and 84.0% vs 54.2%, P<0.001, respectively). Survival analysis of patients with MDS-RS found that the overall survival (OS) in the MDS-E group was better than that in the MDS-NE group [not reached vs 63 (95% CI 53.3-72.7) months, P=0.029]. Among patients with TP53 mutations and excess blasts, the OS in the MDS-E group was worse than that in the MDS-NE group [6 (95% CI 2.2-9.8) months vs 12 (95% CI 8.9-15.1) months, P=0.022]. Multivariate analysis showed that age of ≥65 years ( HR=2.47, 95% CI 1.43-4.26, P=0.001), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of ≤100 fl ( HR=2.62, 95% CI 1.54-4.47, P<0.001), and TP53 mutation ( HR=2.31, 95% CI 1.29-4.12, P=0.005) were poor prognostic factors independent of the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) prognosis stratification in patients with MDS-E. Conclusion:Among patients with MDS-RS, MDS-E was strongly associated with a lower proportion of complex karyotypes and TP53 mutations, and the OS in the MDS-E group was longer than that in the MDS-NE group. Among patients with TP53 mutations, MDS-E was strongly associated with complex karyotypes and multi-hit TP53 mutations, and among TP53-mutated patients with excess blasts, the OS in the MDS-E group was shorter than that in the MDS-NE group. Age of ≥65 years, MCV of ≤100 fl, and TP53 mutation were independent adverse prognostic factors affecting OS in patients with MDS-E.

Lymphatic metastasis is the main metastatic route for colorectal cancer, which increases the risk of cancer recurrence and distant metastasis. The properties of the lymph node metastatic colorectal cancer (LNM-CRC) cells are poorly understood, and effective therapies are still lacking. Here, we found that hypoxia-induced fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAPα) expression in LNM-CRC cells. Gain- or loss-function experiments demonstrated that FAPα enhanced tumor cell migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stemness, and lymphangiogenesis via activation of the STAT3 pathway. In addition, FAPα in tumor cells induced extracellular matrix remodeling and established an immunosuppressive environment via recruiting regulatory T cells, to promote colorectal cancer lymph node metastasis (CRCLNM). Z-GP-DAVLBH, a FAPα-activated prodrug, inhibited CRCLNM by targeting FAPα-positive LNM-CRC cells. Our study highlights the role of FAPα in tumor cells in CRCLNM and provides a potential therapeutic target and promising strategy for CRCLNM.

BACKGROUND:N6-methyladenosine(m6A)is a hot research topic in the mechanism of pathological cardiac remodeling and plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the possible mechanism by which m6A modification in non-coding RNAs regulates the main processes of pathological cardiac remodeling,such as pathological cardiac hypertrophy,cardiomyocyte death,myocardial fibrosis and vascular remodeling. METHODS:"m6A,non-coding RNA,pathological cardiac hypertrophy,cardiomyocyte apoptosis,cardiomyocyte pyroptosis,cardiomyocyte ferroptosis,myocardial fibrosis,vascular remodeling"were used as search terms in Chinese and English.Relevant literature from CNKI,PubMed and Web of Science databases published from January 1974 to April 2023 was retrieved,and finally 86 eligible articles were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:m6A modification is a highly dynamic and reversible modification.Pathological cardiac remodeling mainly involves pathological cardiac hypertrophy,cardiomyocyte apoptosis,cardiomyocyte pyroptosis,cardiomyocyte ferroptosis,myocardial fibrosis and vascular remodeling.m6A-related enzymes can regulate pathological cardiac remodeling processes through various non-coding RNAs and different signaling pathways,which can be used as a new potential intervention for cardiovascular diseases.In pathological cardiac remodeling,research on the regulatory relationship between m6A modification and non-coding RNAs is still in its infancy.With the development of epigenetics,m6A modification in non-coding RNAs is expected to have a new development in the regulation of pathological cardiac remodeling.

Objective To analyze the medication rule of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)in treating diabetes nephropathy(DN)and to explore the interaction between core components and key targets.Methods Based on the ancient and modern medical case cloud platform,the medication rules of TCMs and the drug pairs with the highest frequency in treating DN were summarized.Then the network pharmacology approach was utilized to analyze the pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanisms of the highest frequency-drug pairs.The potential targets were predicted by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP)databases.TTD,DISGENET,and GENECARD databases were used to obtain the related targets of DN and screen out the potential targets for DN.In order to clarify the relationships between the active ingredients,the core targets,and pathways,STRING and Cytoscape 3.7.1 software were used to construct the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network and core drugs-ingredients-targets-disease interaction network,DAVID database was screened for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Gnomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis of core targets.Sybyl 2.1 software and biofilm interference verify the combined capacity between the core ingredients and key targets.Results Among 183 prescriptions,Astragali Radix had the highest use frequency and average dose,43 times and 37 g,respectively,followed by Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix and Poria cocos.To find the core combined with the highest confidence in association analysis was astragalus,salvia miltiorrhiza,and tuckahoe.Correlation analysis indicates that the core combination with the highest confidence was Astragali Radix-Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix-Poria cocos.Network pharmacologic showed 89 potential targets and 15 key signaling pathways for the treatment of DN by the drug pair.TNF signaling pathway,Nod-like receptor signaling pathway,and MAPK signaling pathway were disease-related pathways,and IL-6,TNF,and vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA)were core targets.Isorhamnetin and quercetin of the drug pair had high binding ability with IL6,the scores were 8.2 and 7.4,respectively,and the dissociation constants(KD)were 5.6×10-5 mol·L-1 and 6.8×10-5 mol·L-1,respectively.Conclusion This study preliminarily finds the prescription rule of treating DN with Astragali Radix-Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix-Poria cocos as the core drug pair,isorhamnetin,and quercetin are probably the main active compounds of this drug pair in DN treatment,which provides a basis for clinical treatment and drug discovery of DN.

Objective To understand the genotyping of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients in Yunnan Province, and to analyze the differences in viral load, biochemical indicators, and blood routine indicators among different genotypes, in order to provide a laboratory basis for the diagnosis and clinical treatment of HIV/HCV co-infected patients. Methods From November 2022 to June 2023, the serum samples and basic information of patients diagnosed with HIV/HCV co-infection were collected in the antiviral outpatient clinic of Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases. The HCV viral load was detected by one-step qRT-PCR amplification, the positive samples were sequenced, and genotyping was determined based on NS5 gene sequence. The differences in biochemical and blood routine indexes between HIV patients co-infected with different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads were analyzed. Results A total of 126 HIV/HCV co-infected patients were collected, including 20 HCV genotype 1 (15.9%), 91 HCV genotype 3 (72.2%), and 15 HCV genotype 6 (11.9%). The maximum and minimum viral load of the three HCV genotypes were as follows: HCV type 1 (1.0×108, 4.8×104 IU/mL), HCV type 3 (2.2×108, 2.9×102 IU/mL), and HCV type 6 (8.1×107, 6.8×104 IU/mL). The results showed that there was no significant difference between HIV co-infection with different genotypes of HCV and three HIV treatment schemes, including nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+integrase strand transfer inhibitors (NRTIs+INSTIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs+NNRTIs) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+protease inhibitor (NRTIs+PLs), and the viral load of patients (P>0.05). The analysis of biochemical indexes such as total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), and blood routine indexes such as white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), platelet (PLT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) among different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads showed that there was no significant difference in biochemical indexes and blood routine indexes between low/high viral loads of HIV co-infected HCV patients (P>0.05); however, the biochemical indicators TBIL, IBIL and MCHC were significantly different statistically between patients with genotype 3 HCV infection and those with genotype 1 HCV infection (P<0.05), while other biochemical and blood routine indexes were not statistically different among different HCV genotypes (P>0.05). Conclusions There are six subtypes of HCV co-infection in HIV patients in Kunming, Yunnan Province, including three genes of genotype 1, 3, and 6. Among them, genotype 3 HCV is the main prevalent genetic virus among HIV co-infected populations. The TBIL, IBIL and MCHC values of HIV patients co-infected with HCV type 3 are different from those infected with HCV type 1.
