Objective: To explore the early effects of birth weight at different gestational ages on blood pressure trajectory among primary school students, so as to provide evidence for incorporating gestational age birth weight into individualized early warning and intervention strategies for childhood hypertension. Methods: From May to November 2023, a purposeful sampling method was used to recruit 1 676 students in grade 1-3 from three primary schools in a certain urban district of Chongqing. Follow up assessments were conducted in May 2024(T1), November 2024(T2), and May 2025(T3). General demographic and birth related information were collected via self administered questionnaires, while height, weight and blood pressure were obtained through physical examinations. Linear mixed effects model was used to analyze the associations between birth weight at different gestational ages and blood pressure trajectories. Results: During the T1-T3 period, the systolic blood pressure of boys were 98.5 (93.0, 104.5 ),98.5 (93.5, 105.0), and 97.5 (92.5, 103.5)mmHg, respectively, while the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.5, 65.0), 61.5 ( 57.0 , 65.5), and 60.0 (56.0, 64.0)mmHg, respectively. For girls, the systolic blood pressure were 95.5 (90.0, 102.0),95.5 (90.5, 101.5), and 96.0 (90.5, 101.5)mmHg, respectively, and the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.0, 64.5 ),61.5 (57.5, 65.5), and 59.5 (56.0, 63.0)mmHg, respectively. Through Friedman test within both boys and girls, diostolic blood pressure were statistically significant across three measurements( χ 2=48.85，81.54，both P <0.01). The proportion of normal blood pressure increased , and the proportion of prehypertension and hypertension decreased with time( χ 2=39.72，25.62，both P < 0.01 ). Linear mixed effects model analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, sex, household income monthly, parental education, family history of hypertension and maternal pregnancy complications, large for gestational age had significantly higher trajectories of systolic ( β = 1.50) and diastolic( β =0.94) blood pressure compared to appropriate for gestational age(both P <0.01). Conclusion Large for gestational age is associated with elevated blood pressure trajectories during school age, and it may be considered as an early indicator for individualized screening and intervention for childhood hypertension.

Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Vaccination rates were calculated, and multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the impact of special health status on vaccination rates.Results:A total of 1 976 children aged 0-7 years old with special health status were included, with an average of (1.26±0.58) diseases per participant. The average number of vaccine doses administered for routine immunizations was (14.29±4.27), and the full vaccination coverage was 72.76%. The vaccination rate of 10 doses in the immunization program vaccine was less than 90.00%. The timely rate of the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine (HepB1) was 74.14%, and that of the first dose of measles vaccine (MCV1) was 63.93%. Compared with children with infectious diseases, those with neonatal diseases were more likely to miss the third dose of poliomyelitis vaccine (PV3), MCV1 and the second dose of Group A meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV-A2). Those with neuromuscular system diseases were more likely to miss PV3, MPSV-A2 and the first dose of Japanese encephalitis vaccine, live (JE-L1). Those with congenital heart disease were more likely to miss PV3, the third dose of diphtheria tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP3), MCV1, MPSV-A2, and JE-L1. Those with hematological disorders were more likely to miss PV3, MCV1, MPSV-A2, and JE-L1. Those with genetic diseases were more likely to miss MPSV-A2. Those with comorbidities were more likely to miss MCV1 and MPSV-A2. Those with neonatal diseases, neuromuscular system diseases, congenital heart disease, hematopoietic system diseases, genetic diseases, or comorbidities had difficulties in completing the full vaccination process.Conclusion:Children with special health conditions have lower rates of routine immunization and timely vaccination. More measures are needed to improve vaccination rates.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of urea cycle disorder (UCD), the efficacy and safety of glyceryl phenylbutyrate (GPB) therapy in pediatric patients with UCD.Methods:This study was a retrospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical study. The clinical data of 20 pediatric patients with UCD who received GPB treatment at 9 hospitals nationwide between December 2021 and August 2024 were collected. The clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and molecular genetic characteristics were analyzed, ammonia levels and other laboratory results were evaluated pre-post GPB therapy by paired t-tests or Wilcoxon tests. Results:Among the 20 pediatric patients with UCD, there were 8 males and 12 females, and the onset age was 2.8 (1.4, 5.7) years. The ammonia levels were 174 (125, 342) μmol/L at first onset. The symptoms included vomiting in 6 cases, drowsiness in 5 cases, epilepsy in 5 cases, developmental delay in 5 cases, psychiatric and behavioral abnormalities in 3 cases, and lethargy in 1 case, and 18 cases exhibited abnormal liver function. Twenty cases included 6 UCD subtypes, with 11 cases being ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. A total of 27 variants were identified, 11 (41%) of which were novel. The age of patients who began GPB therapy was 4.0 (1.5, 6.6) years. Ten cases stopped GPB after 4.2 (3.4, 5.3) months, with 4 patients undergoing liver transplantation and 6 discontinuing for financial reasons. The remaining ten patients continued GPB therapy for 11.6 (8.6, 14.0) months. The duration of GPB treatment was 6.0 (4.2, 12.3) months, at the final visit, the levels of ammonia, platelets and aspartate aminotransferase were lower compared to those of pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The serum albumin level was higher than that of pre-treatment ( P=0.016). Two patients suffered only one episode of acute hyperammonaemia, with ammonia levels of 232 and 141 μmol/L, respectively. Nine cases experienced adverse effects potentially related to GPB, decreased appetite in 6 cases, vomiting in 3 cases, abnormal skin oil odor in 2 cases, somnolence, fatigue and diarrhea each in 1 case, with symptoms improved within 6 (3, 10) days. Conclusions:UCD primarily manifests with neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms, and early diagnosis of UCD could be achieved through the analysis of ammonia. GPB may effectively reduce ammonia levels in UCD pediatric patients, with favorable safety and tolerability.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,differential diagnosis and prognosis of atypical fibroxanthoma(AFX).Methods Pathological features of 15 cases of AFX and 3 cases of pleomorphic dermal sarcoma(PDS)misdiagnosed as AFX were retrospectively analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical EnVision staining technology.Clinical information was collected and analyzed,and the relevant literatures were re-viewed.Results The age of the 15 patients with AFX ranged from 18 to 78 years,with an average age of 57 years.4 cases occurred in the head and neck,and 11 cases occurred in the trunk and limbs.3 patients with PDS misdiagnosed as AFX were aged from 56 to 60 years,with an average age of 58 years.The tumors were located in the trunk and limbs.Microscopically,15 cases of AFX and 3 cases of PDS misdiagnosed as AFX were composed of proliferative pleo-morphic and atypical spindle cells interspersed with a varying number of multinucleated cells.15 cases of AFX tumors were superficial and located in the dermis.In 3 cases of PDS misdiagnosed as AFX,1 case was located in subcutane-ous adipose tissue,1 case had superficial subcutaneous extension,and the third case had positive basal margin.Immu-nohistochemically,the immunophenotypes of the two groups were consistent.CD10 was expressed in all cases,CD68 was positive in most cases,SMA was expressed in a few cases,desmin was focal expressed in a very few cases,and S-100,SOX10,CD34,HMB-45,Melan A,STAT6 and CK(AE1/AE3)were not expressed in all cases.Ki67 prolifera-tion index ranged from 2％to 30％.15 patients with AFX were followed up from 12 to 108 months.One patient had tumor recurrence 1 year and 3 years after operation due to positive basal margin.Most of the other patients underwent extended resection after diagnosis and were in good condition without tumor recurrence and metastasis.3 cases of PDS misdiagnosed as AFX were followed up for 31 to 78 months.One patient had lung metastasis after 2 years,one patient recurred 4 times after operation,and the other patient died after 4 times of recurrence.Conclusion AFX is a rare dis-ease with similar pathological characteristics and immunophenotype to PDS.AFX can be diagnosed only when the tumor is small and completely confined to the dermis.When the maximum diameter of the tumor is more than 3 cm,or the presence of any form of subcutaneous extension requires a high level of vigilance for PDS.Careful differentiation and correct classification of AFX and PDS are very important for the treatment and prognosis of the disease.

To investigate the effects ofS-Adenosylmethionine(SAM)on liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)in mice,In this study,60 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into CON group,CCl4 group,low dose group(CCl4+SAM-L,50 mg/kg SAM),medium dose group(CCl4+SAM-M,100 mg/kg)and high dose group(CCl4+SAM-M,200 mg/kg).Except CON group,mice in other groups were intraperitoneally injected with CCl4(10 mL/kg,0.2％),and mice in CON group were injected with equal volume olive oil,3 times a week for 4 weeks,to establish mouse liver injury model.At the same time,mice in low,medium and high dose groups were given 100 μL SAM,CON group and CCl4 group were given equal volume PBS for 4 weeks.The results showed that CCl4 promoted liver fibrosis and increased serum ALT,AST and TBIL levels(P＜0.05).Different doses of SAM significantly alleviated liver fibrosis injury and decreased serum ALT,AST and TBIL levels(P＜0.05).Compared with CON group,CCl4 significantly decreased the liver T-AOC,SOD,CAT and GSH-Px levels(P＜0.05),and increased the liver MDA level(P＜0.05).Compared with CCl4 group,the levels of T-AOC,SOD,CAT and GSH-PX in liver of mice in CCl4+SAM group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the level of MDA was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with CON group,liver levels of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α in CCl4 group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with CCl4 group,different doses of SAM could significantly reduce the levels of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α in liver of mice(P＜0.05).Compared with CON group,the expressions of Nrf2,NQO-1 and HO-1 genes in liver of CCl4 group were decreased(P＞0.05),while the expression of Keap1 gene was significantly increased(P＞0.05).Compared with CCl4 group,medium and high doses of SAM significantly increased the expressions of Nrf2,NQO-1 and HO-1 genes in liver of mice(P＜0.05),and decreased the expres-sion of Keap1 gene(P＞0.05).Compared with CON group,the contents of acetic acid,propionic acid and butyric acid in cecum of CCl4 group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with CCl4 group,the contents of propionic acid and butyric acid in high-dose SAM group were sig-nificantly increased(P＜0.05).Microbial analysis showed that CCl4 significantly decreased the rel-ative abundance of Akkermansia and Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group(P＜0.05),and changed the composition of intestinal microorganisms.These results indicate that SAM regulates the gene ex-pression of Nrf2 antioxidant signaling pathway to a certain extent,increases intestinal SCFAs con-tent,regulates intestinal microbial structure,and thus alleviates liver injury,oxidative stress and inflammation caused by CCl4.This study provides reference and theoretical basis for SAM in the treatment and remission of drug-induced liver injury.
