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 effect of vaginal sacrospinous ligament suspension(VSSLS)with uterus preservation in treatment of patients with moderate to severe pelvic organ pro-lapse(POP).Methods A total of 92 patients with moderate to severe POP were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 46 cases in each group.The control group received va-ginal anterior and posterior wall repair(VAPWR),while the observation group underwent VSSLS.The intraoperative blood loss,operation time and hospital stay were compared between the two groups;the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20(PFDI-20)was used to evaluate quality of life;the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12(PISQ-12)was used to assess conditions of sexual satisfaction degree,dyspareunia,sexual frequency,and perceived control during sexual activi-ty;surgical complications in both groups were recorded.Results The observation group had less intr-aoperative blood loss,shorter operation time,and shorter hospital stay compared with the control group(P＜0.01).After treatment,the observation group had lower scores in all dimensions of the PFDI-20 compared with the control group,and the decreasing range was significantly greater than that in the control group(P＜0.01).After treatment,the observation group had significant higher scores for sex-ual satisfaction degree,sexual frequency and perceived control during sexual activity compared with the control group,and the change in these indicators before and after treatment was also significantly greater in the observation group,while the score for dyspareunia was significantly lower in the observation group,with a significant decrease compared with the control group(P＜0.01).The incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than that in the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion As a surgical approach for the treatment of moderate to severe POP,VSSLS can significantly improve patient's quality of life.

Objective To compare the application value of indocyanine green(ICG),nano-car-bon,methylene blue(MB)tracing methods,and ICG combined with nano-carbon tracing method in laparoscopic surgery for stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ endometrial cancer according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)staging system.Methods A retrospective selection of 92 pa-tients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ endometrial cancer was conducted.Based on intraoperative sentinel lymph node(SLN)tracing method,the patients were divided into ICG group(n=24,using ICG tracing method),nano-carbon group(n=22,using nano-carbon tracing meth-od),MB group(n=23,using MB tracing method),and combined group(n=23,using ICG combined with nano-carbon tracing method).Surgical-related indicators,pathological results,and the incidence of complications were compared among the four groups.The detection efficacy of different tracing methods was also compared,using pathological results of surgical specimens as the gold standard.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the SLN resection time,to-tal operative time,and intraoperative blood loss among the four groups(P＞0.05).The number of lymph nodes resected intraoperatively in the combined group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the pathological results of surgical specimens(tumor invasion depth＞50％,tumor diameter＞2 cm,tumor invasion of the cervix or lymphovascular space)among four groups(P＞0.05).The complication rates in the ICG group,nano-carbon group,MB group,and combined group were 4.17％,9.09％,8.70％,and 13.04％,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Using the pathological results of surgical specimens as the gold standard,the detection accuracy,sensitivi-ty,and specificity of ICG combined with nano-carbon tracing method for SLNs in patients with stage Ⅰto Ⅱ endometrial cancer were 86.96％,90.00％,and 66.67％,respectively.The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 94.74％and 50.00％,respectively.The detection efficacy of this combined method was higher than that of the other three methods.Conclusion Compared with the ICG,nano-carbon,and MB tracing method,ICG combined with nano-carbon tracing method has a higher application value in laparoscopic surgery for stage Ⅰ toⅡ endometrial cancer.It can accurately i-dentify the status of lymph node metastasis,with a moderate price and simple operation.

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 evaluate the knowledge of autism among child health care professionals in primary health care institutions.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional survey. An online questionnaire survey was conducted from February to March 2023 in primary health care institutions in Guangzhou to investigate the knowledge on autism among medical staff engaged in children′s health services and the influencing factors.Results:A total of 341 questionnaires were returned and 312 questionnaires were valid with a recovery rate of 91.5%. The age of 312 respondents was (35.9±7.9) years, of which 303 (97.1%) were female. One hundred and fifty-two (48.7%) child health care professionals in primary health care institutions had received specialist training in assessing the psychological and behavioral development of children, and only 139 (44.6%) reported that they were aware of the"five no"principle for early identification of autism. The questionnaire scores were 88.1% pass (275/312) and 53.2% excellent (166/312). The three questions with low accuracy were: autism can be cured with drugs, autism has a genetic basis and rehabilitation training has no effect, and the accuracy for these questions was 42.6% (133/312), 52.2% (163/312) and 70.2% (219/312), respectively. The passing of autism-related knowledge was positively associated with receiving relevant training ( OR=2.585, 95% CI:1.200-5.569), and the excellence was positively associated with the highest education ( OR=1.939, 95% CI:1.220-3.083) and receiving relevant training ( OR=2.016, 95% CI:1.247-3.260). Conclusions:There is a need for more professional training in autism knowledge among child health care professionals in primary health care institutions.

Objective:To investigate the value of implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) in the diagnosis and treatment of patients over 60 years old with unexplained syncope.Methods:This was a multi-center, prospective cohort study. Between June 2018 and April 2021, patients over the age of 60 with unexplained syncope at Beijing Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, Beijing Anzhen Hospital and Puren Hospital were enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their decision to receive ICM implantation (implantation group and conventional follow-up group). The endpoint was the recurrence of syncope and cardiogenic syncope as determined by positive cardiac arrhythmia events recorded at the ICM or diagnosed during routine follow-up. Kaplan‐Meier survival analysis was used to compare the differences of cumulative diagnostic rate between the 2 groups. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors of diagnosis of cardiogenic syncope in patients with unexplained syncope.Results:A total of 198 patients with unexplained syncope, aged (72.9±8.25) years, were followed for 558.0 (296.0,877.0) d, including 98 males (49.5%). There were 100 (50.5%) patients in the implantation group and 98 (49.5%) in the conventional follow-up group. Compared with conventional follow-up group, patients in the implantation group were older, more likely to have comorbidities, had a higher proportion of first degree atrioventricular block indicated by baseline electrocardiogram, and had a lower body mass index (all P<0.05). During the follow-up period, positive cardiac arrhythmia events were recorded in 58 (58.0%) patients in the ICM group. The diagnosis rate (42.0% (42/100) vs. 4.1% (4/98), P<0.001) and the intervention rate (37.0% (37/100) vs. 2.0% (2/98), P<0.001) of cardiogenic syncope in the implantation group were higher than those in the conventional follow-up group (all P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative diagnostic rate of cardiogenic syncope was significantly higher in the implantation group than in the traditional follow-up group ( HR=11.66, 95% CI 6.49-20.98, log-rank P<0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that ICM implantation, previous atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus or first degree atrioventricular block in baseline electrocardiogram were independent predictors for cardiogenic syncope (all P<0.05). Conclusions:ICM implantation improves the diagnosis and intervention rates in patients with unexplained syncope, and increases diagnostic efficiency in patients with unexplained syncope.

Objective:To explore the role and mechanism of neurotrophin-3(NT-3)in promoting neurological func-tion recovery after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods:Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(Sham),middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion(MCAO/R)group,and MCAO/R+NT-3 group.The neurological function scores of rats in each group were evaluated using the modified Garcia score.Western Blot was used to detect the expression of NT-3 and LC3B in brain tissues of rats.Culture dishes with the same density of neurons were randomly divided into normal group(Normal),oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD)group,OGD+NT-3 group,OGD+NT-3+PF-06273340(TrkC inhibitor)group,OGD+NT-3+ZSTK474(PI3K inhibitor)group,and OGD+NT-3+CCT128930(AKT inhibitor)group.Western Blot was used to detect the expression of TrkC,the phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT,and LC3B in neurons.The morphological changes of neurons and the phenomenon of neuronal autophagy were observed using autophagy-specific fluorescent staining.Results:The animal experiment found that the expression of NT-3 increased in the brain tissue with ischemia-reperfusion injury(P＜0.05),and after the treatment with exogenous NT-3,the modified Garcia score increased(P＜0.05),and the level of autophagy weakened(P＜0.05).The cell experiment found that NT-3 can inhibit neuronal autophagy under ischemic hypoxia and maintain the neuronal morphology to the maximum extent.After using PF-06273340,the expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT de-creased(P＜0.05).After using ZSTK474 and CCT128930,the autophagy-inhibiting effect of NT-3 weakened(P＜0.05).Conclusion:NT-3 inhibits autophagy via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to maintain neuronal survival,thereby promoting the recovery of neurological function after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective:To investigate dietary patterns of individuals aged ≥50 in Shanghai and analyze their association with frailty.Methods:Using data from the third wave of the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health in Shanghai conducted between 2018 and 2019. We collected the frequency and average intake of food by the food frequency questionnaire. Factor analysis was used to extract dietary patterns, and a frailty index was constructed using the ratio of the cumulative total score of health deficits to 35 health-related variables considered. We used an ordinal multinomial logistic regression model to analyze the association between dietary patterns and frailty.Results:A total of 3 274 participants aged (67.9±9.2) years were included in the study, including 1 971 (60.2%) men and 1 303 (39.8%) women. We extracted four dietary patterns: high-protein-nuts pattern, potato-bean-vegetable-fruit pattern, poultry-meat pattern, and high-oil-salt pattern. After adjusting for confounding factors, the logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the high-oil-salt pattern, the high-protein-nuts pattern was negatively associated with the risk of higher frailty ( OR=0.743, 95% CI: 0.580-0.951). We did not find an association between dietary patterns and frailty between the different gender groups. In the age group 50-64, the high-protein-nuts and potato-bean-vegetable-fruit patterns were negatively correlated with a higher degree of frailty than the high-oil-salt pattern. In the low-level physical activity group, the high-protein-nuts pattern was negatively correlated with a higher degree of frailty than the high-oil-salt pattern ( OR=0.509, 95% CI: 0.361-0.720). However, we found no significant effect of the high-protein nuts pattern, potato-bean-vegetable-fruit pattern, and poultry-meat pattern on the risk of higher frailty compared to the high-oil-salt pattern in the moderate to high level of physical activity group. Conclusions:Compared to the high-oil-salt pattern, dietary patterns with a higher intake of high-protein nuts, potatoes, legumes, and fruits and vegetables might be associated with a lower risk of higher frailty in residents aged 50-64 years of age than with a high oil and salt pattern. At the same time, it may have a more significant protective effect in people with lower physical activity levels. It is suggested that a diet rich in high-protein foods, nuts, potatoes, beans, vegetables, and fruits may help reduce and delay the risk of frailty.

Objective:To understand the association between vitamin D level and grip strength in people aged ≥50 years in Shanghai.Methods:Data were obtained from the WHO's Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health in Shanghai during 2018-2019. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between vitamin D level and grip strength, and a stratified analysis was conducted for different gender, age and dairy product intake groups. Restricted cubic spline was used to evaluate the dose-response association between vitamin D level and low grip strength.Results:A total of 4 391 participants were included in the study, including 2 054 men (46.8%), with an average age of (67.02±8.81) years. And 1 421 individuals (32.4%) had low grip strength; 1 533 individuals (34.9%) had vitamin D deficiency, and 401 individuals (9.1%) had vitamin D deficiency. After adjusted for confounding factors, the logistic regression results analysis showed that individuals with vitamin D deficiency had a higher risk for low grip strength ( OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.09-1.83). In men, after adjusting for confounding factors, vitamin D deficiency was positively associated with the risk for low grip strength ( OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.12-2.50), but there was no significant association between vitamin D level and grip strength in women ( OR=1.30, 95% CI: 0.97-1.74). In age group 60-69 years and ≥80 years, there was significant association between vitamin D deficiency and low grip strength after adjusting for confounding factors ( OR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.05-2.35; OR=2.40, 95% CI: 1.08-5.31). In people who had daily intake of dairy product <250 ml, there was positive association between vitamin D deficiency and low grip strength, but there was no significant association in people who had daily dairy product ≥250 ml after adjusting for confounding factors. The restrictive cubic spline demonstrated that risk of low grip strength might decreased with the increase of vitamin D levels, however, the difference was not significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:This study demonstrated that there is association between vitamin D level and grip strength. People with vitamin D deficiency have higher risk for low grip strength.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of hybrid surgery for the recanalization of carotid artery occlusion after stenting.Methods Clinical data and results of 17 patients with occlusion after carotid artery stenting and treated with hybrid surgery from June 2016 to April 2023 at the Department of Neurosurgery Cerebral Blood Flow Reconstruction Center of Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether the recanalization was successful,17 patients were divided into the the successful recanalization group and the failed recanalization group.Successful recanalization was defined as achieving modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction(mTICI)grade ≥2b and residual stenosis＜50％.Baseline data(age,sex,body mass index,smoking history,alcohol consumption history,hypertension history,diabetes history,hyperlipidemia history,coronary heart disease history),clinical data(National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale[NIHSS]score at admission,fasting blood glucose,low density lipoprotein,high density lipoprotein,total cholesterol,triglyceride,occlusion side and segment,combination with severe stenosis or occlusion of the contralateral carotid artery,opening of the anterior communicating artery,opening of the posterior communicating artery,compensation of the external and internal carotid artery,compensation of the pia artery,stump morphology,and time from imaging diagnosis of occlusion to recanalization)were documented and compared between groups.The recanalization of occlusive vessels and perioperative complications were recorded.Imaging and clinical follow-up were performed 3,6 months and≥1 year after surgery.Results Among the 17 patients,the ratio of successful recanalization was 13/17.One patient had re-occlusion after operation,which was re-opened after thrombolysis,but neck hematoma with dyspnea occurred,and recovered after emergency operation.There was no postoperative stroke or death.The incidence of perioperative complications was 1/17.Compared with the successful recanalization group,the levels of high density lipoprotein and total cholesterol in the failed recanalization group were higher,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(high density lipoprotein[1.3±0.3]mmol/L vs.[0.9±0.3]mmol/L,t=-2.139;total cholesterol:[4.2±0.8]mmol/L vs.[3.1±0.7]mmol/L,t=-2.649;both P＜0.05);There were no significant differences in other baseline data and clinical data(all P＞0.05).Imaging follow-up was completed in 9 of the 13 patients in the successful recanalization group,and the follow-up time was 3.8-36.9 months,with a median follow-up time of 22.8(12.8,34.7)months.Among them,1 patient(1/9)developed restenosis of recanalization vessels at 33.0 months after surgery and underwent stent implantation again.Conclusions The preliminary analysis showed that the occlusion after carotid artery stenting had better recanalization success and lower perioperative complications.In patients with chronic occlusion after carotid stenting,the application of a hybrid surgery for opening may be attempted under multimodal imaging assessment.
