Objective: To understand the allocation and use of safety seats for preschool children and explore its related factors, so as to provide a scientific reference for promoting the usage of safety seats. Methods: A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 143 parents of preschool children aged 3 to 6 from six kindergartens in Shunyi District, Beijing from January 3 to 10, 2022. An online questionnaire survey was conducted to collect and evaluate the equipment and use of child safety seats in different characteristics of preschool children, as well as their scores of health beliefs. Multiple factor Logistic regression analysis was used to investigated the related factors of safety seat configuration and use. Results: The equipping rate and usage rate of safety seats for preschool children were 66.56% and 58.45%, respectively. The proportion of equipped and used safety seats for preschool children in core families (69.52%, 62.23%) were higher than that in large families (64.35%, 55.62%), only child families ( 72.39 %, 64.87%) were higher than non only child families (61.49%, 52.86%), and urban families (71.63%, 63.04%) were higher than rural families (52.31%, 45.51%) ( χ 2=9.23, 13.86; 41.72, 46.44; 101.96 ,76.97,all P <0.05) . As the educational level of parents ( χ 2 trend =154.23,98.76) and annual income of the family ( χ 2 trend =155.78,127.69) rised, the reporting rates of the equipped and used child safety seats in the family also increased(all P <0.05 ). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of different dimensions of health beliefs for the provision ( t =-20.22-18.16) and use ( t =24.32-24.17) of safety seats for preschool children(all P <0.05). After adjusting for child sex, child age, family annual income, parental education level, family type, whether the child was an only child, and place of residence，multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preschool children with higher perceived susceptibility score( OR =1.11, 1.08), higher self efficacy score( OR =1.23, 1.33), and higher suggestive factors score( OR =1.08, 1.12) were more likely to have and use safety seats in their families, while preschool children with higher perceived impairments score( OR =0.82, 0.80) were less likely to have and use safety seats in their families (all P <0.05). Conclusions The installation rate of child safety seats needs to be improved, and there is also a certain gap in their use after installation. Parents of preschool children should improve susceptibility and self efficacy to safety seat equipment and use, and perceptual barriers should be reduced.

Purpose To evaluate the predictive performance of mean apparent propagator-magnetic resonance imaging(MAP-MRI)combined with habitat analysis for determining O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase(MGMT)promoter methylation status in glioma.Materials and Methods This retrospective study analyzed MRI and clinical data from 55 patients with surgically confirmed glioma at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023.All patients underwent structural and diffusion-weighted imaging.Three-dimensional volumes of interest were delineated in the tumor solid region using ImageJ software.The nn-FAE tool was used to segment the tumor solid region into two habitat subregions based on mean diffusivity(MD)maps:high-MD and low-MD habitats.Average diffusion parameter values were extracted from the entire tumor solid region and each habitat subregion.Differences in parameters between methylated and unmethylated groups were compared,and the area under the curve was calculated.Results Among 55 patients,significant differences were observed in all MAP-MRI parameters and MD in the tumor solid region and low-MD habitat,as well as all parameters in the high-MD habitat between methylated and unmethylated groups(t/Z=-3.780-3.153,all P<0.05).The return-to-origin probability(RTOP)in the low-MD habitat demonstrated the highest diagnostic performance,with the area under the curve improving from 0.771 before habitat analysis to 0.827 after habitat analysis.In the high-grade subgroup,significant differences were observed in return-to-axis probability(RTAP)and RTOP in the tumor solid region;RTOP,non-Gaussianity,non-Gaussianity axial,and RTAP in the low-MD habitat;and non-Gaussianity in the high-MD habitat(t/Z=-2.820--1.976,all P<0.05).RTOP in the low-MD habitat again showed optimal diagnostic efficacy(the area under the curve 0.725 before habitat analysis,0.798 after).Multivariate analysis identified RTAP and RTOP in the tumor solid region and low-MD habitat as independent predictors of MGMT methylation.Conclusion MAP-MRI diffusion parameters demonstrate the ability to predict MGMT promoter methylation status in glioma,with superior performance compared with diffusion tensor imaging.Habitat imaging further enhances the predictive efficacy of MAP-MRI parameters for MGMT promoter methylation.

Objective·To identify relevant biomarkers for patients with coronavirus disease 2019-associated kidney injury(COVID-19-associated KI)and explore the mechanisms underlying the involvement of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2)proteins in infection-related KI by affecting the interactions between renal cells and macrophages.Methods·A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients with KI treated in Shanghai Ninth,People's,hospital from December 2022 to February 2023.Serum levels of inflammatory factors and chemokines were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).In vitro,human macrophage cell line THP-1 cells were stimulated with recombinant S1 subunit protein derived from SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.The cells and culture supernatants were collected to detect the levels of inflammatory factors and chemokines by using quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)and ELISA.Conditioned medium was prepared from the cell culture supernatants of S1-stimulated THP-1 cells and used to stimulate human renal epithelial cells(HK-2)in vitro to assess cytokine secretion.Antibody blocking experiments were performed to analyze the effects of the conditioned medium on the production of cytokines in HK-2 cells.Results·Among 39 patients with COVID-19,8(20.50%)had creatinine levels above the reference interval,which indicated the occurrence of KI.The levels of peripheral tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the COVID-19 patient with KI group[(18.33±8.20)pg/mL]were significantly higher than those in the non-KI group[(11.88±6.50)pg/mL](P=0.015).In vitro assay has shown that S1-spike protein stimulation promoted the level of gene transcription and production of TNF-α,interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 10(CXCL10)in THP-1 macrophage cells(P＜0.001).Furthermore,the conditioned medium from S1-stimulated THP-1 cells promoted the secretion of TNF-α,IL-1β and CXCL10 by HK-2 cells(P=0.005).When anti-TNF-α antibody(Infliximab)was used to block TNF-α in the culture supernatants from S1-stimulated THP-1 cells,the secretion level of TNF-α by HK-2 cells decreased dramatically(P＜0.001).Conclusion·TNF-α levels increase significantly in COVID-19 patients with KI,implying the significance of TNF-α in the occurrence of COVID-19-associated KI.In vitro experiments confirm that the S1 protein induces TNF-α secretion from THP-1 cells,leading to increased inflammatory responses in renal cells,which may contribute to the development of COVID-19-associated KI.Therefore,targeting TNF-α may become an alternative strategy to reduce the occurrence of COVID-19-associated KI.
