Objective: To characterize longitudinal trajectories of testicular development in boys and breast development in girls, so as to provide reference data for understanding patterns of pubertal sexual maturation. Methods: Based on the Shanghai Pudong New Area Cohort Study on Growth, Development and Health in Children and Adolescents, a baseline survey was conducted in 2020 using a mult stage cluster random sampling method. A total of 2 184 children who completed all follow ups during the primary school period from 13 elementary schools in Pudong New Area,Shanghai,with annual follow ups during 2021-2025. Testicular volume and Tanner stage of breast development were assessed by professional physicians using standardized visual inspection and palpation. The age distribution of testicular volume and breast development was fitted by using cumulative link mixed models and Turnbull s nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method. Results: Median ages for testicular volumes of 2, 3, 4 and 5 mL in boys were 7.07, 9.24, 10.29, and 11.57 years old, respectively. Median ages for Tanner breast stages Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in girls were 8.55 , 10.17, 11.18, and 13.78 years old, respectively. Based on overweight and obesity, stratified analysis showed that earlier pubertal onset among overweight/obesity children, and the key milestones for pubertal initiation were testicular volume reaching 4 mL in boys and breast Tanner II in girls for 10.29, 10.83; 8.18, 9.00 years. Conclusion Overweight and obesity are associated with earlier pubertal initiation,but there are certain gender and developmental stage specific patterns.

ObjectiveTo establish an ultra-performance liquid fingerprint and multi-components determination method for Naomaili granules. To evaluate the quality of different batches by chemometrics， and the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of water extract and main components of Naomaili granules were tested in vitro. MethodsThe similarity and common peaks of 27 batches of Naomaili granules were evaluated by using Ultra performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） fingerprint detection. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） technology was used to determine the content of the index components in Naomaili granules and to evaluate the quality of different batches of Naomaili granules by chemometrics. LPS-induced BV-2 cell inflammation model was used to investigate the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of the water extract and main components of Naomaili granules. ResultsThe similarity of fingerprints of 27 batches of samples was > 0.90. A total of 32 common peaks were calibrated， and 23 of them were identified and assigned. In 27 batches of Naomaili granules， the mass fractions of 14 components that were stachydrine hydrochloride， leonurine hydrochloride， calycosin-7-O-glucoside， calycosin，tanshinoneⅠ， cryptotanshinone， tanshinoneⅡ_A， ginsenoside Rb₁， notoginsenoside R₁， ginsenoside Rg₁， paeoniflorin， albiflorin， lactiflorin， and salvianolic acid B were found to be 2.902-3.498， 0.233-0.343， 0.111-0.301， 0.07-0.152， 0.136-0.228， 0.195-0.390， 0.324-0.482， 1.056-1.435， 0.271-0.397， 1.318-1.649， 3.038-4.059， 2.263-3.455， 0.152-0.232， 2.931-3.991 mg∙g^-1， respectively. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that paeoniflorin， ginsenoside Rg₁， ginsenoside Rb₁ and staphylline hydrochloride were quality difference markers to control the stability of the preparation. The results of bioactive experiment showed that the water extract of Naomaili granules and the eight main components with high content in the prescription had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the release of NO in the cell supernatant. Among them， salvianolic acid B and ginsenoside Rb₁ had strong anti-inflammatory activity， with IC₅₀ values of （36.11±0.15） mg∙L^-1 and （27.24±0.54） mg∙L^-1， respectively. ConclusionThe quality evaluation method of Naomaili granules established in this study was accurate and reproducible. Four quality difference markers were screened out， and eight key pharmacodynamic substances of Naomaili granules against neuroinflammation were screened out by in vitro cell experiments.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients with locally advanced low rectal cancer who achieved clinical complete response (cCR) or near-clinical complete response (near-cCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and then underwent local excision.Methods:This was a descriptive case series study. Clinical data of patients with low rectal cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy, achieved cCR or near-cCR, underwent local excision, and had complete postoperative follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. The study period was from May, 2015 to October, 2024, and the patients were treated at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital. Indications for local excision in this study were as follows: pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma, with the lower edge of the tumor ≤ 6 cm from the anal verge; maximum diameter of the lesion ≤ 2 cm after nCRT; no regional lymph node metastasis detected by transrectal endoscopic ultrasound (ERUS), pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) after nCRT; MRI showing fibrosis of the primary lesion with a small amount of high signal on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), consistent with ymrT0-1 stage; serum carcinoembryonic antigen level within the normal range (< 5 μg/L) after nCRT; complicated with severe underlying diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and assessed as unable to tolerate radical surgery through comprehensive evaluation; and signed informed consent for local excision. The contraindications were: colonoscopic pathology indicating poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma or signet ring cell carcinoma; suspected lateral lymph node metastasis before neoadjuvant therapy; patients with residual lesions exceeding 3 cm in range after treatment. A total of 153 patients were included in this study, including 84 males and 69 females. The median age was 62 years, and the median distance from the tumor to the anal verge after neoadjuvant therapy was 4.0 cm. The short-term efficacy indicators of this study included postoperative complications of local excision and postoperative pathological results, and the long-term efficacy indicators included oncological prognosis (3-year cumulative local recurrence rate, 3-year cumulative distant metastasis rate, 3-year progression-free survival, and 3-year overall survival) and anal function at 1 year after surgery evaluated using the Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) scale where the total score is 42 points such that 0-20 points indicate no LARS, 21-29 points indicate mild LARS, and 30-42 points indicate severe LARS.Results:Postoperative pathology showed 122 cases (79.7%) of ypT0 stage, 10 cases (6.5%) of ypT1 stage, 18 cases (11.8%) of ypT2 stage, and 3 cases (2.0%) of ypT3 stage. The incidence of surgery-related complications was 42.5% (65/153), and the main complications included perianal pain (39.9%, 61/153), intestinal wall incision dehiscence (21.6%, 33/153), and intestinal wall incision infection (18.3%, 28/153). The proportion of patients who received hypofractionated radiotherapy before surgery and developed intestinal wall incision dehiscence was 65.2% (15/23), which was higher than that in the conventional long-course (13.6%, 16/118) and short-course radiotherapy groups (16.7%,2/12) (χ 2=30.55, P<0.001); of the 20 patients who received additional immunotherapy before surgery, 13 developed intestinal wall incision dehiscence was 65.0%, which was higher than that in the group without additional immunotherapy [15.0%(20/133),χ 2=25.66, P<0.001]. The median follow-up time of the entire group was 35.4 months. During the follow-up period, there were 9 cases of postoperative local recurrence, with a 3-year cumulative local recurrence rate of 7.9% and 5 cases of distant metastasis, with a 3-year cumulative distant metastasis rate of 5.0%. The 3-year progression-free survival rate was 89.0%, and the 3-year overall survival rate was 95.9%. At 1 year after surgery, 10 cases (10.5%, 10/95) had severe anal dysfunction, and the median LARS score of the entire group was 5.0 (range: 0-41.0) points. Conclusions:For patients with locally advanced low rectal cancer who achieve cCR or near-cCR after neoadjuvant therapy, local excision results in favorable oncological prognosis and anal function preservation effects; however, the incidence of complications is relatively high.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of Wenjing Decoction in treating endometriosis syndrome with cold coagulation and blood stasis.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was performed. A total of 90 cases were collected and with distributed random number method of drugs were divided into control group and the treatment group with 45 cases each. The treatment group was given Wenjing Decoction granules, while control group was given placebo (10% Wenjing Decoction). Both groups were taken for 14 consecutive days from the first day of menstruation as a course of 1, a total of 3 courses. Before and after treatment, main observation indexes including dysmenorrhea, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes and the secondary outcome including scores of menstruation, short form McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ) were detected by subjective evaluation, interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) level in human serum tissue were evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and the clinical and TCM syndromes specific effects were determined.Results:Totally 7 patients were lost, including 1 case in the treatment group and 6 cases in control group. The number of actual observation cases was 83 (44 cases in the treatment group and 39 cases in control group). The clinical effective rate in the treatment group [75.00% (33/44)] was statistically higher than that in control group [23.08% (9/39), P<0.001]. As for therapeutic effect of TCM syndromes, the effective rate in the treatment group [70.45% (31/44)] was obviously higher than that in control group [20.51% (8/39), P<0.001]. After treatment, compared with the results of control group, menstruation [2.00 (1.00,4.00)], dysmenorrhea [7.25 (5.00,9.88)], SF-MPQ [10.00 (4.50,18.00)], TCM syndromes [13.50 (9.25, 20.00)] and the data of IL-8 [9.80 (5.73,27.53) ng/L], TNF-α [5.05 (4.10,6.20) ng/L] and PGF2α [(147.16±22.24) ng/L] in the treatment group were decreased obviously [4.00 (2.00,6.00), P=0.022; 8.00 (6.50,12.00), P=0.030; 13.00 (4.00,24.00), P<0.001; 17.00 (9.00, 26.00), P<0.001; 18.20 (10.00,30.90) ng/L, P=0.013; 5.80 (4.50,10.70) ng/L, P=0.035;(165.17±30.33) ng/L, P=0.001]. Conclusion:Wenjing Decoction can treat TCM syndromes of endometriosis patients with cold coagulation and blood stasis, and the clinical curative effect was significant. The mechanism may involve enhancing immunity and relieving uterine smooth muscle contraction.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of group A rotavirus (RVA) infection in hospitalized children under 5 years of age with diarrhea in 2019, and to provide reference for the surveillance of RVA.Methods:Stool samples and clinical information of hospitalized children under 5 years of age with diarrhea were collected from sentinel hospitals in 20 provinces in 2019. RVA nucleic acid detection and genotyping were performed according to the rotavirus detection method in the National Viral Diarrhea Surveillance Program.Results:A total of 5 395 viral diarrhea samples were collected, 5 038 were tested, and 1 247 diarrhea samples showed RVA positive results (1 247/5 038, 24.75%). The positive rate of RVA in Fujian province was the lowest (30/319, 9.40%), and the positive rate of RVA was the highest in Henan province (182/338, 53.85%). The positive rate of RVA in male and female children was 25.24%(762/3 019)and 24.02%(485/ 2 019), respectively. There was no significant gender distribution of RVA infection ( χ2 = 0.96, P=0.326). Children aged 12 to 17 months were mainly susceptible to RVA (342/1 033, 33.11%), and the positive rate of RVA in children aged 48 to 59 months was lower (35/227, 15.42%). RVA infection showed significant age distribution characteristics ( χ2 = 86.78, P<0.001). RVA infection had significant difference between urban and rural areas ( χ2 = 20.92, P<0.001) and seasonal characteristics ( χ2 =411.42, P<0.001). RVA genotyping showed that G9P[8] type (994/1 122, 88.59%) was the dominant epidemic strain. Conclusions:In 2019, the main genotype of RVA infection in hospitalized children under 5 years of age with diarrhea was G9P[8], and RVA infection had significant age, region and season characteristics.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and safety of soothing moisturizing repair cream on acne depressed scar exfoliative fractional laser wound repair.Methods:From October 2018 to June 2020, the Department of Dermatology, Qingdao Haici Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University took 33 patients with acne depressed scars as the research object, including 8 males and 25 females, aged from 20 to 36 years (29.6±8.6) years. The left and right face comparison method was adopted. After laser operation, the trial side was given a soothing moisturizing repair cream, and the control side was given a placebo. By collecting the patient's facial pictures and objective skin data before and after the laser operation, 1 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 21 d, and combined with the researcher's semi-subjective evaluation and patient's subjective evaluation the wound skin reaction and wound healing were observed.Results:At 1, 3, 7, 21 days after laser operation, the skin water content of the test side was higher than that of the control side ( P<0.05), and the skin water loss was lower than the control side ( P<0.05); at 3, 7, 21 days, the skin pigment of the test side was lower than the control side ( P<0.05); at 3, 7 d, the test side skin erythema index was lower than the control side ( P<0.05); at 1, 3, 7 d, the test side wound skin erythema, edema, dryness and tightness, etc. were better than the control side ( P<0.05). The duration of pain, crusting time, scab removal time, and complete healing time of the wound on the test side were shorter than those on the control side ( P<0.05). The patient's satisfaction with the moisturization and comfort of the nursing products on the trial side was better than that on the control side ( P<0.05). Conclusions:There is no adverse reaction to the soothing moisturizing repair cream after laser surgery, which can better inhibit skin inflammation, reduce post-inflammatory pigmentation, promote skin healing, and help repair the wound after laser surgery.

To optimize the quantitative detection method for Salmonella enterica and analyze the quantitative contamination level of Salmonella enterica in raw pork samples from farmer′s markets in Chengdu. Based on qualitative detection standard method of Salmonella enterica in China (GB 4789.4-2016) and the quantitative detection method of FSIS in the United States (MLG 4.08 and MLG appendix 2.05 MPN), the selective enrichment broth, screening plate, identification method and quantitative dilution ratio in quantitative detection of Salmonella enterica were optimized using 70 samples of raw pork. The optimized method compared by student′s t-test was used to detect 40 samples of raw pork collected from farmer′s markets in Chengdu from June to October 2020. For isolation of Salmonella from raw pork samples, the coincidence degree of TTB enrichment solution was significantly higher than that of RV enrichment solution (0.93±0.32 vs 0.35±0.62, t=8.324, P=0.001) and the consistency of suspicious colonies screened by XLT4 plate was significantly higher than that of Salmonella chromogenic medium (0.77±0.09 vs 1.00±0.00, t=2.971, P =0.017). The MPN method used 4 successive gradient dilutions, namely 12 tube method, could obtain more accurate quantitative value for Salmonella enterica. The combined use of selective enrichment broth TTB, XLT4 plate, Real-time PCR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry could get better results for screening and identifying Salmonella enterica. The detection rate for Salmonella enterica isolated from raw pork in farmer′s markets was 92.5% (37/40). The most of the Salmonella positive samples (83.8%, 31/37) were detected with a contamination level ranged from 0.1 to 55 MPN/g. The optimized quantitative detection method for Salmonella enterica in raw pork in this study can effectively screen the target bacteria and obtain more accurate quantitative value.
