Objective:
To investigate the mediating role of vaccine literacy between vaccine knowledge and vaccine hesitancy and the moderating role of parental education level, so as to provide references for adjusting vaccination strategies.
Methods:
From May to December 2024, a stratified random sampling method was used to select 10 community hospitals in Guiyang and Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. A total of 1 401 parents of children aged 0-6 years were surveyed regarding their socio demographic characteristics, vaccine knowledge, vaccine literacy, and vaccine hesitancy levels. Data were analyzed using common method bias tests, Spearman correlation analysis, mediation and moderation effects tests.
Results:
The mean score for vaccine knowledge, vaccine literacy and vaccine hesitancy were (2.96±1.11, 14.25±2.64, 39.12±4.93) among the 1 401 participants. Mediating effect analysis showed that both parental vaccine knowledge ( β =1.28, 95% CI =1.08-1.49) and vaccine literacy ( β =0.75, 95% CI =0.66-0.84) positively predicted vaccine hesitancy (both P <0.01). Meanwhile, vaccine literacy accounted for 28.1% of the total effect of mediation between knowledge and vaccine hesitancy. In the moderated effects analysis, education level positively predicted vaccine literacy ( β =0.40, 95% CI =0.24-0.57), and education level moderated the pathway of vaccine knowledge on vaccine hesitancy ( β = 0.28 , 95% CI =0.05-0.52) (both P <0.01).
Conclusions
Vaccine literacy partially mediates the relationship between vaccine knowledge and vaccine hesitancy. Parental education level positively moderates the prediction of vaccine knowledge on vaccine hesitancy score.

Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(10):882-885
Objective Most patients with chronic insomnia depend on long-term medication, which may easily lead to a poor treatment outcome and adverse drug reactions, and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), as a noninvasive neuromodulation technique, can improve chronic insomnia. This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of tACS combined with pharmacotherapy in the treatment of chronic insomnia. Methods A total of 46 patients with chronic insomnia were enrolled and randomly divided into pharmacotherapy group with 20 patients and pharmacotherapy+tACS treatment group with 26 patients. The tACS electrodes were attached to the frontal region and the bilateral mastoids, with a frequency of 77.5 Hz and a current intensity of 15 mA, for 40 minutes each time, once a day for 10 consecutive days. The primary outcome measures were Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score and its improvement rate after 4 weeks, and the secondary outcome measures included the scores of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and their improvement rates. Results Compared with the pharmacotherapy group, the pharmacotherapy+tACS treatment group had a significant reduction in PSQI score (P<0.05), with an improvement rate of 37% and 21%, respectively, suggesting that the combined therapy had a better effect in improving sleep quality. The pharmacotherapy+tACS treatment group also had reductions in HAMA and HAMD scores, suggesting improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms, and there were no significant differences in MMSE and MoCA scores between the two groups. Conclusion Pharmacotherapy combined with tACS has a better effect than pharmacotherapy alone in improving sleep quality and anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with chronic insomnia, and therefore, it has good application prospects in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the changes of hippocampal gray matter volume and expression of candidate immune related genes in a rat model of schizophrenia established by repeated administration of dizocilpine(MK-801).Methods:Thirty SPF grade Sprague-Dawley male rats at postnatal day 28 were randomly divided into MK-801 medium-dose (0.25 mg/kg) group, MK-801 high-dose(0.50 mg/kg) group and normal saline (5 mL/kg) group according to random number table method, with 10 in each group.Rats were given continuous intraperitoneal administration according to grouping once a day for 14 days.Open field test, novel object recognition test and Y-maze test were used at postnatal day 60 to detect spontaneous activity, exploration ability, anxiety level, object recognition memory ability and spatial working memory of rats, respectively.At postnatal day 67, structural magnetic resonance imaging was used to detect the changes of hippocampal gray matter volume in rat.And at postnatal day 70, qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of candidate immune-related genes in rat hippocampus.SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and Tukey test was used for further pairwise comparisons.Results:(1)The behavioral results showed that there were significant differences in the total movement distance, central area activity time, novel object recognition index, and spontaneous correct alternation rate among the three groups ( F=11.15, 10.11, 13.62, 11.99, all P<0.05). The total movement distances in MK-801 medium-dose group and MK-801 high-dose group ((21.44±2.17) m, (22.87±1.96)m) were higher than that in the normal saline group ((18.70±1.88) m) (both P<0.05). The activity time of the central area in the MK-801 medium-dose group and MK-801 high-dose group((3.24±1.58) s, (2.50±1.32) s) were lower than that of the normal saline group ((6.05±2.48)s) (both P<0.01). Novel object recognition indexes in the MK-801 medium-dose group and MK-801 high-dose group((56.10±3.99)%, (54.00±6.41)%) were both lower than that in the normal saline group ((65.90±5.65)%)(both P<0.01), and the rates of spontaneous correct alternation ((54.60±7.03)%, (51.60±8.84)%) in the two groups were lower than that of the normal saline group ((68.40±8.57)%) (both P<0.01). (2) The results of structural magnetic resonance imaging showed that there were significant differences in the volume of hippocampal gray matter among the three groups ( F=9.24, P<0.001). The volumes of hippocampal gray matter in MK-801 medium-dose group and MK-801 high-dose group were lower than that in normal saline group(both P<0.001). (3)By constructing protein-protein interaction network, four candidate immune related genes were screened out: neuropeptide Y (NPY), somatostatin (SST), cholecystokinin (CCK) and tachykinin 1 (TAC1). The results showed that the mRNA expression levels of NPY, SST and CCK in the hippocampus of the three groups were significantly different ( F=11.41, 10.43, 5.85, all P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in the TAC1 mRNA expression level ( F=0.08, P>0.05). The mRNA levels of NPY, SST and CCK in the hippocampus of rats in the MK-801 high-dose group were lower than those in the normal saline group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Both medium dose and high dose MK-801 administration can reduce the volume of hippocampal gray matter in schizophrenia model rats, but they have different effects on the expression of hippocampal immune related genes, of which high dose administration has a greater effect.

Background/Aims:
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and fatty liver (FL) often co-exist, but natural history data of this dual condition (CHB-FL) are sparse. Via a systematic review, conventional meta-analysis (MA) and individual patient-level data MA (IPDMA), we compared liver-related outcomes and mortality between CHB-FL and CHB-no FL patients.
Methods:
We searched 4 databases from inception to December 2021 and pooled study-level estimates using a random- effects model for conventional MA. For IPDMA, we evaluated outcomes after balancing the two study groups with inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) on age, sex, cirrhosis, diabetes, ALT, HBeAg, HBV DNA, and antiviral treatment.
Results:
We screened 2,157 articles and included 19 eligible studies (17,955 patients: 11,908 CHB-no FL; 6,047 CHB-FL) in conventional MA, which found severe heterogeneity (I2=88–95%) and no significant differences in HCC, cirrhosis, mortality, or HBsAg seroclearance incidence (P=0.27–0.93). IPDMA included 13,262 patients: 8,625 CHB-no FL and 4,637 CHB-FL patients who differed in several characteristics. The IPTW cohort included 6,955 CHB-no FL and 3,346 CHB-FL well-matched patients. CHB-FL patients (vs. CHB-no FL) had significantly lower HCC, cirrhosis, mortality and higher HBsAg seroclearance incidence (all p≤0.002), with consistent results in subgroups. CHB-FL diagnosed by liver biopsy had a higher 10-year cumulative HCC incidence than CHB-FL diagnosed with non-invasive methods (63.6% vs. 4.3%, p<0.0001).
Conclusions
IPDMA data with well-matched CHB patient groups showed that FL (vs. no FL) was associated with significantly lower HCC, cirrhosis, and mortality risk and higher HBsAg seroclearance probability.

Objective:To understand the molecular epidemic characteristics and genes of human astrovirus (HAstV) in infantile diarrhea patients in Jilin province from 2017 to 2020.Methods:Fecal samples of hospitalized infants with diarrhea under 5 years of age from January 2017 to December 2020 were collected. The nucleic acids of fecal samples were amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the positive amplification products were sequenced, and the phylogenetic tree was constructed.Results:A total of 2 019 fecal samples were collected, of which 71 were positive for HAstV, with a positive rate of 3.5%. Among the cases with positive samples of HAstV, 42 had mixed infection with other viruses causing diarrhea, accounting for 59.2% of the total number of positive cases, half of which were mixed infection with rotavirus and HAstV. From 2017 to 2020, the positive rates of HAstV were 4.69%, 1.98%, 5.93% and 0.43% per year, respectively. There were two epidemic peaks every year and one epidemic peak year every two years. The positive rate of 36-47 months old was the highest, followed by 0-2 months old. A total of 55 sequences were obtained in this study. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that they all belonged to classical HAstV, including 42 HAstV-1a subtypes, 8 HAstV-1b subtypes and 5 HAstV-5 subtypes.Conclusions:HAstV is one of the important pathogens of diarrhea in children under 5 years of age in Jilin province. The epidemic law has obvious seasonal and age differences. The dominant strain is HAstV-1a.
