Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of overweight and obesity among Chinese children aged 3-18 years from 11 provinces, antonomous regions, or municipalities.Methods:This national cross-sectional community health survey utilized a multistage stratified cluster-random sampling method to recruit 193 997 nationally representative participants from 11 provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities between January 2017 and December 2019. All participants underwent physical examinations, and their caregivers completed questionnaires assessing participants′ dietary, lifestyle, familial, and perinatal information. Multilevel multinomial logistic regression models were employed to identify the potential risk factors.Results:The cohort comprised 193 997 children (102 178 boys, 91 819 girls),aged (10±4) years. Overall prevalence rates were 30 574(15.8%)overweight children and 17 217(8.9%) obesity children. Boys exhibited higher overweight and obesity rates than girls (17.0% (17 368/102 178) vs. 14.4% (13 206/102 178), 11.3% (11 553/91 819) vs. 6.2% (5 664/91 819), χ2=249.12,1 578.69,both P<0.001). The detection rates of obesity in Tanner stage 2 and 3 were the highest in boys and girls, with 13.4%(2 231/16 665) and 8.6%(880/10 221) respectively. Risk factors for obesity included parental overweight (paternal OR=2.34 and maternal OR=2.29), annual household income of 100 000-200 000 yuan (compared with<100 000 yuan, OR=1.04), higher paternal education (compared with below high school,high school and a college education OR=1.09,1.14), birth weight >4.0 kg (≤5 and>5 years old OR=1.74, 1.44,respectively), and western food consumption≥1 time/month (compared with<1, 1-2, 3-4,>4 times/month OR=1.36, 1.30, 1.67(≤5 years), 1.19, 1.16, 1.15 (>5 years), respectively) (all P<0.05). Conversely, coarse grain intake≥1 times/week (compared with<1 times/week, every day, 3-4, 1-2 times/week OR=0.74, 0.80, 0.71 (≤5 years), 0.75, 0.87, 0.90(>5 years), respectively, all P<0.05) was associated with reduced obesity risk. Conclusions:Obesity epidemiology in children demonstrates significant heterogeneity across age, gender, geographic regions, and pubertal stages. It is necessary to establish a personalized prevention and control strategy.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiology features, intervention effects and influencing factors of thrombosis in arteriovenous graft (AVG), and to provide reference for optimizing vascular access scheme in hemodialysis patients.Methods:It was a retrospective study. The clinical and follow-up data of patients with AVG constructed in the Blood Purification Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to December 2022 were analyzed. According to whether AVG thrombosis occurred during the follow-up period, they were divided into thrombosis group and non-thrombosis group, and the epidemiology status, influencing factors and patency rates of AVG thrombosis were analyzed. AVG was followed up until June 30, 2023 or abandonment or death of patient or loss of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patency rates of AVG. Log-rank test was used to compare the differences of patency rates between groups. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of AVG thrombosis.Results:The study included 475 AVG from 464 patients, with age of (55.50 ± 11.85) years old, 193 males (40.6%), 185 diabetes patients (38.9%) and dialysis age of 24 (1, 68) months. One hundred and fifty-four AVG (32.4%) had a total of 307 AVG thrombotic events during the follow-up of 602 (380, 920) days, with a standardized incidence of 0.34 times per patient-year. Among them, 60 cases (19.5%, 60/307) had frequent thrombosis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that AVG secondary patency rates at 2-years and 3-years in the thrombosis group and frequent thrombosis subgroup were inferior to those in the non-thrombosis group (84.0% vs. 92.5%, P=0.017; 66.5% vs. 85.7%, P<0.001; 78.9% vs. 92.5%, P=0.030; 54.6% vs. 85.7%, P<0.001). Two hundred and sixty-nine AVG thrombotic events were analyzed to evaluate the treatment effects. Endovascular interventional surgery was used for thrombectomy in 215 cases (79.9%), and hybrid surgery (endovascular interventional surgery combined with surgical incision) was used in 54 cases (20.1%), with a technical success rate of 98.9% (266/269) and a clinical success rate of 98.1% (264/269). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the primary post-intervention patency rates at 90 days and 365 days, respectively (all P>0.05), and there was statistically significant difference in the primary post-intervention patency rate at 180 days (45.1% vs. 26.5%, Z=2.563, P=0.015). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that graft-applied type (intering as the reference, propaten OR=1.953, 95% CI 1.139-3.350, P=0.015; acuseal OR=2.628, 95% CI 1.438-4.800, P=0.002), body mass index < 18.5 kg/m 2 (18.5-24.0 kg/m 2 as the reference, OR=0.291,95% CI 0.090-0.943, P=0.040), serum albumin < 40 g/L ( OR=1.579, 95% CI 1.019-2.445, P=0.041), serum ferritin < 200 μg/L ( OR=1.818, 95% CI 1.162-2.845, P=0.009) and mean arterial pressure < 70 mmHg ( OR=7.180, 95% CI 1.339-38.501, P=0.021) were the independent influencing factors of AVG thrombosis. Conclusions:The incidence of AVG thrombotic events is 0.34 times per patient-year, mainly concentrated in a small number of patients. Thrombosis reduces the secondary patency rate of AVG. AVG thrombosis treatment with endovascular interventional surgery or hybrid surgery has a high technical success rate and a clinical success rate. The thrombosis is related to graft-applied types, nutritional status of patients and mean arterial pressure level.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and management status of children with Turner syndrome (TS) in China.Methods:As a cross-sectional study, 1 089 TS patients were included in the database of the National Collaborative Alliance for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Turner Syndrome from August 2019 to November 2023. Clinical characteristics (growth development, sexual development, organ anomalies, etc.), karyotypes, auxiliary examinations, and treatments were collected and analyzed.Results:Among the 1 089 TS cases, 809 were recorded karyotypes. The karyotype distribution was as follows: 45, X in 317 cases (39.2%), X chromosome structural variants (including partial deletions of p or q arm, ring chromosome, and marker chromosome) in 89 cases (11.0%), 45, X/46, XX mosaicism in 158 cases (19.5%), mosaicism with X chromosome structural variants in 209 cases (25.8%), and presence of Y chromosome material in 36 cases (4.4%). Among the 824 TS cases, the age of diagnosis was 9.7(6.4, 12.2) years, with a height standard deviation score (HtSDS) of -3.1±1.2. Five hundred and fifty three cases underwent growth hormone (GH) stimulation test, and 352 cases (63.7%) had GH peak values <10 μg/L and 75.9% (577/760) had low IGF1 levels, with IGF1 SDS ≤-2 accounting for 38.2% (290 cases). Among 471 cases aged ≥8 years, 132 cases (28.0%) showed spontaneous sexual development (mean bone age (11.0±1.7) years), 10 cases had spontaneous menarche (mean bone age (12.0±2.2) years), and 2 cases had regular menstrual cycles. Common physical features included cubitus valgus (311 cases (28.5%)), neck webbing (188 cases (17.2%)), low posterior hairline (185 cases (17.0%)), shield chest (153 cases (14.0%)), high arched palate (127 cases (11.6%)), short fourth metacarpal (43 cases (3.9%)), and spinal abnormalities (38 cases (3.5%)). Congenital cardiovascular and urogenital anomalies occurred in 91 cases (19.4%) and 66 cases (12.0%)respectively. Abdominal ultrasound in 33 cases (7.2%) indicated fatty liver, hepatomegaly, intrahepatic bile duct stones, and splenomegaly. Among 23 cases undergoing oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) test, 2 were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and 4 with impaired glucose tolerance. Following diagnosis, 669 cases (80.7%) received rhGH treatment at a chronological age of (9±4) years and bone age of (8.3±3.2) years. Additionally, 112 cases (19.4%) received sex hormone replacement therapy starting at the age of (14±4) years and bone age of (12.6±1.2) years.Conclusions:The karyotypes of 45, X and mosaicism were most common in Chinese children with TS. The clinical manifestations were mainly short stature and gonadal dysplasia. However, a few TS children could be in the normal range of height, and some cases among those aged of ≥8 years old had spontaneous sexual development. Some exhibited physical features, congenital cardiovascular and urogenital anomalies, and dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-IGF1 axis. Moreover, a few of them developed impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus. Following diagnosis, most of the patients received rhGH treatment, and a few of them received sex hormone replacement therapy.

Objective:To investigate the application value of the teaching evaluation method guided by cultivating "excellent doctors" in the clinical teaching of dermatology and venereology.Methods:A non-simultaneous control study was conducted, and the medical students who received theoretical learning and clinical internship in Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, from March 2020 to February 2022, were enrolled as subjects. According to the order of enrollment, 32 students who were enrolled from March 2020 to February 2021 were set up as control group, and 31 students who were enrolled from March 2021 to February 2022 were set up as experimental group. The students in the control group received lecture-based learning, and those in the experimental group received clinical teaching using a teaching and evaluation method guided by cultivating "excellent doctors". After the course ended, the two groups were compared in terms of the scores of theoretical knowledge and operation skills, clinical thinking ability [Self-Assessment of Clinical Reasoning and Reflection (SACRR)], core competence [Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini CEX)], and degree of satisfaction with teaching. SPSS 25.0 software was used to perform the independent samples t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, the chi-square test, and the rank sum test. Results:One student in the control group voluntarily withdrew from the study, and one student in the experimental group did not complete the contents of internship. Finally, 31 students in the control group and 30 in the experimental group were included in the study. After 4 weeks of internship, compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher scores of theoretical knowledge (88.00±4.30 vs. 85.71±4.12, t=2.12, P=0.040) and operation skills (91.87±3.99 vs. 88.23±3.84, t=3.63, P<0.05). After 4 weeks of internship, compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher information systematization score (47.23±3.11 vs. 45.16±3.00), analysis problem score (34.87±2.30 vs. 31.29±2.30), truth finding score (16.30±1.49 vs. 14.45±1.52), reflective ability score [3.50 (3.00, 4.00) vs. 3.00 (3.00, 3.00)], and total score of SACRR (101.87±4.47 vs. 93.90±4.47), with significant differences between the two groups ( t/ Z=2.65, 6.17, 4.79, 3.15, and 6.96, all P<0.05). After 4 weeks of internship, the experimental group had a significantly better core competence than the control group ( Z=2.12, P=0.030); compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher classroom teaching score (20.17±1.98 vs. 18.45±2.23, t=3.17, P<0.05), clinical practice score (19.83±2.10 vs. 17.65±2.17, t=4.00, P<0.05), learning plan score (18.63±2.24 vs. 17.03±2.15, t=2.85, P<0.05), teaching resource score (20.07±1.82 vs. 18.58±2.00, t=3.04, P<0.05) and total score (78.70±3.67 vs. 71.71±4.13, t=6.98, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of the teaching and evaluation method guided by cultivating "excellent doctors" in the clinical teaching of dermatology and venereology can improve clinical theoretical knowledge, practical operation skills, clinical thinking ability, and core ability among interns and thus help to improve teaching quality. Therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the effects of the multiple single cannulation technique(MUST)on the outcomes of arteriovenous graft(AVG).Methods A retrospective study of AVG created between January 2018 and December 2021 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University was conducted.The clinical data of patients and their follow-up data for venous access were analyzed.Subjects were divided into the MUST group or the non-MUST group according to whether MUST was used.The cumulative patency rate and complication incidence were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of applying MUST in AVG.Results The MUST group included 115 AVG and the non-MUST group,122 AVG.The 1-year,2-year,3-year,and 4-year cumulative patency rates of the MUST group were 100%,99.1%,95.2%,85.4%,and 73.2%,respectively,while those for the non-MUST group were 97.5%,92.7%,77.7%,69.7%,and 50.0%,respectively,with the 2-year and 3-year patency rates showing significant difference(P=0.022,P=0.004).The standard intervention rate expressed in(median[interquartile range])in the MUST group was significantly lower than that in the non-MUST group(0.46[0.00,0.94]vs.0.97[0.60,1.59],Z=-5.808,P＜0.001).A total of 24(20.9%)AVG in the MUST group and 60(49.2%)AVG in the non-MUST group had a standard intervention rate＞1.0 per patient-year,with significant difference between the two groups.Three(2.6%)AVG in the MUST group and 7(5.7%)AVG in the non-MUST group were complicated by aneurysm(χ2=20.737,P＜0.001).One(0.9%)AVG in the MUST group and 6(4.9%)AVG in the non-MUST group had graft infection,with the difference between the groups showing no significance(P=0.121).Multivariate logistic regression showed that dialysis in the alliance facilities(odds ratio[OR]=2.713,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.698-4.336,P＜0.001],and excellent follow-up[OR=2.189,95%CI:1.221-3.927,P=0.009]were the influencing factors of applying MUST in AVG.Conclusion MUST improves the cumulative patency of AVG and decreases the intervention frequency and the incidence of aneurysm without increasing the risk of graft infection.

Objective:To investigate the impacts of hierarchical management based on medical alliance on the patency of arteriovenous graft (AVG),and provide a basis for further exploration of optimal AVG management.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical and follow-up data of patients with AVG established in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2021 were analyzed. Patients were divided into medical alliance group and non-medical alliance group according to whether they were under hierarchical management model, and the patency rate of AVGs and the incidence of clinical events were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 328 AVGs were included in this study, which were from 151 hemodialysis centers, including 189 AVGs (57.6%) from 72 centers in medical alliance group, and 139 AVGs (42.4%) from 79 centers in non-medical alliance group. The age of the patients was (55.57±11.80) years, among whom 130 (39.6%) were males and 126 (38.4%) were diabetic. The follow-up time of AVGs in this cohort was 15.5 (9.5, 26.2) months, with 15.4 (9.8, 25.2) months in medical alliance group and 15.5 (9.2, 27.3) months in non-medical alliance group. The incidence of thrombosis or occlusion (0.328 times/patient-year), graft dissection (0.007 times/patient-year), graft infection (0.030 times/patient-year), and catheter utilization (0.043 times/patient-year) in the medical alliance group were lower than those in the non-medical alliance group (0.589 times/patient-year, 0.040 times/patient-year, 0.054 times/patient-year and 0.147 times/patient-year, respectively), and there was no significant difference in clinic follow-up rates between the two group (1.91 times/patient-year vs. 1.94 times/patient-year). The median primary patency time was 17.4 (95% CI 11.3-23.5) months, the median primary assisted patency time was 32.6 (95% CI 25.0-40.2) months, and the median secondary patency time was 47.9 (95% CI 40.0-55.8) months in the medical alliance group, compared with 12.3 (95% CI 9.4-15.2) months, 19.4 (95% CI 14.3-24.5) months, and 34.6 (95% CI 29.3-39.9) months in the non-medical alliance group, respectively. Primary patency were significantly higher in the medical alliance group (77.4%, 62.2%, 39.9%, and 26.6%) than those in the non-medical alliance group (71.1%, 50.1%, 30.6%, and 13.4%) at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months (Log-rank test, χ2=4.504, P=0.034). Primary assisted patency were significantly higher in the medical alliance group (90.9%, 84.3%, 67.1%, and 46.1%) than those in the non-medical alliance group (89.2%, 75.7%, 42.0%, and 16.6%) at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months (Log-rank test, χ2=10.655, P=0.001). Secondary patency were significantly higher in the medical alliance group (96.8%, 91.8%, 84.2%, and 74.0%) than those in the non-medical alliance group (89.9%, 85.8%, 69.3%, and 47.5%) at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months (Log-rank test, χ2=11.634, P=0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that it was a protective factor for primary patency ( HR=0.708, 95% CI 0.512-0.980, P=0.037), primary assisted patency ( HR=0.506, 95% CI 0.342-0.749, P=0.001) and secondary patency ( HR=0.432, 95% CI 0.261-0.716, P=0.001) under the medical alliance model. Conclusion:The hierarchical management based on medical alliances can improve the patency of AVGs and reduce the incidence of clinical events.

Objective:To study the incidence and risk factors of central vein stenosis (CVS) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who received arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation for the first time, as well as effects of CVS on patency of ipsilateral AVF.Methods:It was a retrospective study. The CKD patients who received AVF creation for the first time in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to August 2020, with central vein digital subtraction angiography (DSA) results prior to angioplasty were selected as the study subjects. The differences of incidence of CVS in CKD patients with/without a history of cervical catheterization and primary patency rates of AVF between CVS and non-CVS groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis method was applied to analyze the influencing factors of CVS in CKD patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the primary patency rate of AVF. Cox regression analysis method was used to analyze the effect of CVS on the primary patency of ipsilateral AVF.Results:A total of 283 CKD patients aged (50.45±14.76) years were enrolled in the study, including 165 males (58.3%). The dialysis age was 0.5 (0, 7.0) months. There were 55 patients (19.4%) diagnosed with CVS before AVF, including 39 patients with stenosis <50% and 16 patients with stenosis ≥50%. The incidence of CVS in patients with history of right internal jugular vein central venous catheter insertion was significantly higher than that in those without this history [60.5% (26/43) vs. 9.9% (15/151), χ2=51.274, P<0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that hemodialysis catheters indwelling time ≥3 months elevated the risk of CVS ( OR=4.345, 95% CI 1.540-12.263, P=0.006). A subset of 268 patients who had AVF creation ipsilateral to CVS were analyzed to determine the effects of CVS on patency of AVF. The median follow-up time was 34 months. The primary patency rate of AVF in the moderate to severe CVS group was significantly lower than that in the non-CVS group (5/7 vs. 58/228, χ2=7.720, P=0.005). The primary patency rates of AVF in the subclavian vein stenosis group and superior vena cava stenosis group were significantly lower than those in the brachiocephalic vein stenosis group (4/5 vs. 8/27, χ 2=6.974, P=0.008; 6/8 vs. 8/27, χ 2=6.908, P=0.009, respectively). Moderate to severe CVS and combined diabetes were independent influencing factors of primary patency of AVF ( HR=4.362, 95% CI 1.644-11.574, P=0.003; HR=2.682, 95% CI 1.624-4.431, P<0.001, respectively). Conclusions:The incidence of CVS is higher in CKD patients who establish an arteriovenous fistula for the first time. Hemodialysis catheter indwelling time ≥3 months is an independent risk factor of CVS. The moderate to severe CVS is an independent risk factor of primary patency of AVF.

Objective:To investigate the patency rates and risk factors of arteriovenous graft (AVG), and provide a clinical guidance for further optimization of vascular access selection and improvement of dialysis quality.Methods:This was a retrospective study. The clinical and follow-up data of patients who received AVG in the Blood Purification Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 were selected. Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression model were used to analyze the patency rates and risk factors of AVG.Results:A total of 381 cases with AVG were included, with 154 cases (40.4%) of males, age of (55.5±11.8) years old, and 140 cases (36.7%) of diabetes. The median time of primary patency was 377.00(95% CI 314.26-439.74) days, and the primary patency rates at 1, 2, and 3 years were 51.0%, 30.7%, and 15.4%, respectively. The median time of primary assisted patency was 839.00(95% CI 668.89-1 009.11) days, and the primary assisted patency rates at 1, 2, and 3 years were 78.3%, 56.4%, and 39.1%, respectively. The secondary patency rates at 1, 2, and 3 years were 96.7%, 90.1%, and 78.5%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that anastomotic vein types of basilic vein and cephalic vein (median cubital vein as a reference, HR=1.869, 95% CI 1.124-3.107, P=0.016; HR=2.110, 95% CI 1.176-3.786, P=0.012) and the diameter of anastomotic vein<3.5 mm ( HR=1.411, 95% CI 1.020-1.952, P=0.037) were the independent influencing factors for abnormal primary patency of AVG. Males ( HR=1.680, 95% CI 1.127-2.503, P=0.011), mean arterial pressure<70 mmHg ( HR=3.228, 95% CI 1.109-9.394, P=0.032), Acuseal graft type (Intering as a reference, HR=1.884, 95% CI 1.185-2.994, P=0.007), anastomotic vein type of cephalic vein (median cubital vein as a reference, HR=2.817, 95% CI 1.328-5.977, P=0.007), the diameter of anastomotic vein<3.5 mm ( HR=1.555, 95% CI 1.048-2.306, P=0.028), serum phosphorus ≤1.78 mmol/L (1.13-1.78 mmol/L />1.78 mmol/L, HR=1.737, 95% CI 1.111-2.716, P=0.015;<1.13 mmol/L />1.78 mmol/L, HR=2.162, 95% CI 1.072- 4.362, P=0.031), and ferritin<200 μg/L ( HR=1.850, 95% CI 1.231-2.780, P=0.003) were the independent influencing factors for abnormal primary assisted patency of AVG. Serum albumin<40 g/L ( HR=2.165, 95% CI 1.096-4.275, P=0.026) was an independent influencing factor for abnormal secondary patency of AVG. Conclusions:The primary patency rates of AVG at 1, 2, and 3 years were 51.0%, 30.7%, and 15.4%, respectively. The secondary patency rates of AVG at 1, 2, and 3 years were 96.7%, 90.1%, and 78.5%, respectively. Anastomotic vein types of cephalic vein and basilic vein, and internal diameter<3.5 mm are the independent risk factors for abnormal primary patency of AVG. Anastomotic vein type of cephalic vein and internal diameter<3.5 mm are the independent risk factors for abnormal assisted primary patency of AVG. Serum albumin<40 g/L is an independent risk factor for abnormal secondary patency of AVG. It is suggested that systematic preoperative evaluation and good nutritional status of patients are important to maintain long-term patency of the AVG.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms with the risk of myocardial infarction. METHODS: Five hundred patients with myocardial infarction and 500 healthy controls were randomly selected. Fluorescent PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to detect the CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms. Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between the polymorphisms and myocardial infarction. Quanto software was used to evaluate the statistical power. RESULTS: The two groups had significant difference in the frequency of AG, GG genotypes and A allele of the CYP2C19 gene rs4986893 locus and the AA, AG, GG genotypes and G allele of the CYP3A5 gene rs776746 locus ( P<0.05), but not in the frequency of genotypes and alleles of CYP2C19 gene rs4244285 and rs12248560 loci, and the AA genotype of the rs4986893 locus. After correction for age, gender, and body mass index, Logistic regression indicated that the AG genotype and A allele of the CYP2C19 gene rs4986893 locus, and the GG genotype and G allele of CYP3A5 gene rs776746 locus are associated with susceptibility of myocardial infarction, while rs4986893 GG genotype and AA and AG genotypes of rs776746 may confer a protective effect. Based on the sample size and allele frequency, analysis with Quanto software suggested that the result of this study has a statistical power of 99%. CONCLUSION CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms may increase the risk for myocardial infarction.
