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 explore the relationship between the stability of the pulse perfusion index(PI)value and Pulse oximetry(SpO2)alarms in monitor for neonates,so as to reduce the false alarm rate.Methods:A monitor with dual blood oxygen module(Module 1 and Module 2)was used to simultaneously monitor different parts of neonates.If both modules alarmed simultaneously,it was considered as a valid alarm.If only one module alarmed while the others was normal,it was considered as an invalid alarm.The PI values were classified into A,B and C categories based on the calculated variance of PI values.The distribution of valid alarms in the three categories was analyzed by using statistical method.The eighteen neonates who admitted to the neonatal department of Shanxi Children's Hospital from May11,2023 to May 19,2023 were monitored,with an average monitoring time of 7.3 hours for each case.The false alarm rates of the monitor with dual blood oxygen module were compared among categories A,B and C,as well as the correlations between different PI values and SpO2 alarms.Results:The times of monitored valid alarm of two non-invasive blood oxygen modules(Module 1 and Module 2)were 41 times,and the false alarm rates of categories A and C were significantly higher than that of category B.The times of categories A,B and C of the monitored PI values of Module 1 and Module 2 were respectively(6,34,1)and(8,30,3),which appeared weak correlation with the times of valid alarm of SpO2(r=0.230,0.259,P<0.05).The result of univariate binary logistic regression indicated PI value could not predict SpO2 alarms in SpO2 alarm.Conclusion:PI value can reflect the affected accuracy of SpO2 alarm when the data that are collected by prober are instability.The PI value that is collected by single SpO2 prober can indirectly reflect that the instable data of collection can affect the correctness of SpO2 alarm,while the simultaneous monitor of adopting monitor with dual oxygen module can improve the accuracy of SpO2 alarms in monitoring for neonates.

Objective:To identify the change trajectory of intrinsic capacity in people aged ≥50 years in Shanghai and explore the impact of intrinsic capacity trajectory change on overall function and dalily life activities in this population.Methods:The longitudinal data from round 1 to 3 Study of Global Ageing and Adult Health in Shanghai were used. The total intrinsic ability scores from five dimensions of cognition, psychology, sensory, vitality and locomotion were calculated. The censored normal model of group-based trajectory was used to identify the trajectory of intrinsic capacity change over time. Linear regression model and multivariate logistic regression model were used to analyse the effects of different levels intrinsic capacity trajectory on the scores of the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), the activity of daily living (ADL) and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).Results:A total of 2 302 study participants aged ≥50 years with 3 round complete data were included in this study, and 3 levels of intrinsic capacity trajectory were identified, low-level trajectory (9.3%), medium-level trajectory (41.7%), and high-level trajectory (49.0%). Compared with the high-level group, the medium-level and low-level groups had higher WHODAS scores, which increased by 3.578 (95% CI: 2.028-5.129) and 12.620 (95% CI: 9.951-15.289), respectively, and those with more severe disability and those in the low-level group were at higher risk for severe difficulty in ADLs ( OR=12.450, 95% CI: 4.310-35.966) and IADLs ( OR=5.479, 95% CI: 1.311-22.904). Conclusions:Heterogeneity in trajectory of intrinsic capacity exists in people aged ≥50 years in Shanghai. Middle-aged and elderly people with low initial level and rapid decline trajectory of intrinsic capacity are at greater risk for the decline of daily life ability and the increase of disability. It is necessary to strengthen the long-term dynamic monitoring and evaluation of the change trajectory of intrinsic capacity in this population.

Objective:To investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) in promoting neurological functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats.Methods:In vivo: Fifteen 8-week-old SPF-grade Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned (via a random number method) to three groups ( n=5 per group): sham-operated (Sham) group, SCI group, and SCI+NT-3 group. A spinal cord compression model was established using a clip method. NT-3 (20 μg/kg) was continuously infused into the subarachnoid space via a microinfusion pump for 7 days. The Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scale was used to assess locomotor function post-SCI, with scores below 21 indicating successful model establishment. Western blotting was performed to analyze the expression levels of NT-3, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B), oligodendrocyte transcription factor 1 (Olig1), and myelin basic protein (MBP) at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days post-injury. In vitro: Oligodendrocytes were isolated from neonatal rat brain tissues, cultured (5×10 4/cm 2), and divided into four groups: oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) group, OGD+NT-3 group, OGD+NT-3+ubiquitination inhibitor (UCHL1) group, and OGD+NT-3+ubiquitination agonist (MG132) group. Western blotting was conducted to detect the expression levels of TrkC, Ub-TrkC, and LC3B in each experimental group. Immunofluorescence staining was utilized to observe LC3B aggregation in oligodendrocytes. Morphological alterations in cells were examined through microscopy. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, followed by pairwise comparisons using the least significant difference method. Results:Compared with the SCI group, the SCI+NT-3 group exhibited significant improvement in BBB scores, reduced autophagy levels, increased Olig1 and MBP expression, and elevated TRAF6 ubiquitin ligase expression (all P<0.05). At 5 h post-OGD, immunofluorescence revealed reduced LC3B aggregation and near-normal oligodendrocyte morphology in the OGD+NT-3 group. Compared to the OGD, OGD+NT-3, and OGD+NT-3+UCHL1 groups, the OGD+NT-3+MG132 group demonstrated increased Ub-TrkC expression and markedly reduced autophagy levels at 5-7 h (all P<0.05). The OGD+NT-3+UCHL1 group exhibited lower Ub-TrkC expression and elevated autophagy levels compared to the OGD+NT-3 group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:NT-3 inhibits oligodendrocyte autophagy through TrkC receptor ubiquitination, thereby maintaining oligodendrocyte survival and promoting neurological recovery after SCI in rats.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT) and the causes of pathological misdiagnosis, and summarize diagnostic strategies.Methods:A case series study was conducted.Specifically, the data of 5 misdiagnosed(misdiagnosed group) and 8 confirmed AT/RT cases(confirmed group) in the Department of Pathology of Xi′an Children′s Hospital from January 2010 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemical staining were performed to analyze clinical features, morphology, and immune phenotypes.Rates were compared between the misdiagnosed and confirmed groups by a Fisher′s exact test.Means were compared using an independent sample t-test.Medians were compared by a Mann-Whitney U test. Results:(1)There were 4 males and 1 female in the misdiagnosed group, with a median age of 24 months.In this group, 4/5 tumors were located in the posterior cranial fossa, and 1/5 tumors were located in the spinal cord.Morphologically, rhabdoid cells were detected in 3/5 cases, and the other 2/5 cases consisted of small embryonal cells.Immunohistochemically, INI1 and BRG1 expressions were absent in 4/5 and 1/5 cases, respectively.All of them showed multiple immunephenotypes.There were 7 males and 1 female in the confirmed group, with a median age of 22 months.In the confirmed group, 4/8 tumors were located in the supratentorial region and 4/8 tumors were located in the infratentorial region.Rhabdoid cells, deficient INI1 expression and multiple immunephenotypes were observed in all 8 cases.(2)The percentage of rhabdoid cells in the misdiagnosed group was significantly lower[0.45(0, 0.46)] than that in the confirmed group[0.55(0.40, 0.85)]( Z=-2.064, P=0.039). Conclusions:The causes of misdiagnosis of AT/RT are variable sites of occurrence, diverse histomorphology, multiple phenotypes in immunohistochemistry and rare BRG1 deficiency.For high-grade rhabdoid, epithelioid, and/or embryonic small cell tumors, AT/RT should be differentiated and immunohistochemistry protocols should include INI1 and BRG1.

Objective:To compare the efficacies of endovascular therapy (EVT) and standard medical therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients aged ≥85 years, and analyze the independent influencing factors for poor prognosis of AIS patients after EVT.Methods:Sixty-nine AIS patients aged ≥85 years admitted to Department of Neurology, Xi'an Third Hospital from January 2018 to April 2024, including 40 accepted EVT and 28 accepted standard medicinal therapy, were enrolled. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the prognosis of the patients 90 days after onset. General data, prognosis and complications between the EVT group and standard medical therapy group were compared. General data, treatment processes and complications between patients with good prognosis and poor prognosis in the EVT group were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in AIS patients after EVT.Results:Compared with the standard medical therapy, the EVT group had significantly lower NIHSS score at discharge, greater improvement in NIHSS score (NIHSS score at admission-NIHSS score at discharge), lower mRS score 90 days after onset, higher good prognosis rate, lower mortality rate within 90 days of onset, and longer hospital stay ( P<0.05). In the EVT group, 11 patients (27.5%) had good prognosis and 29 patients (72.5%) had poor prognosis 90 days after onset. Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had significantly higher blood glucose level and lower Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECT) on admission ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that blood glucose on admission ( OR=2.363, 95% CI: 1.134-4.928, P=0.022) and ASPECT score on admission ( OR=0.273, 95% CI: 0.088-0.854, P=0.026) were independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in AIS patients after EVT. Conclusion:AIS patients aged ≥85 years received EVT have better prognosis compared with those accepted standard medical therapy; these patients with high glucose level and low ASPECT score on admission have poor prognosis.
