Objective : To explore the expression of prohibitin2(PHB2) in breast cancer and its effect on the biological behaviors of tumor cells. Methods : Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of PHB2 protein in breast cancer tissues and its relationship with clinicopathologic features. Breast cancer stable transient cell lines were constructed with knockdown and overexpression ofPHB2, respectively. The effects of PHB2 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability were detected by clone formation assay, scratch assay and Transwell assay. Western blot(WB) was used to detect the effects of PHB2 on the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related markers, including E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Snail family transcriptional repressor 1(Snail) protein, Vimentin, and Claudin-1. The effect of PHB2 on tumorigenicityin vivowas detected by subcutaneous tumor formation assay in nude mice. Results: The result of immunohistochemical showed that PHB2 was highly expressed in breast cancer and the expression of PHB2 was significantly positive correlated with tumor size, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2) status and proliferation index Ki-67 levels(P<0.05). Clone formation assay, scratch assay and Transwell assay revealed that knockdown ofPBH2significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells(P<0.01), while the overexpression ofPHB2significantly promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion(P<0.01). The result of subcutaneous tumor formation experiment in nude mice revealed a significant decrease in tumor volume and weight in knockdownPHB2mice(P<0.000 1), whilePHB2overexpression tumors significantly increased in volume and weight(P<0.001).WB assay showed that the protein expression of epithelial marker E-cadherin increased, while the expressions of mesenchymal markers N-cadherin, Snail and Vimentin decreased significantly afterPHB2knockdown with them in control cells(P<0.01). The expression of Claudin-1 decreased, while the expressions of N-cadherin, Snail and Vimentin increased significantly inPHB2overexpression cells(P<0.05). Conclusion PHB2 is highly expressed in breast cancer and promotes multiple malignant biological behaviors in tumor cells, suggesting PHB2 may be a potential target for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women worldwide, with an increasing incidence rate year by year, making it a significant public health concern. With the continuous advancement of tumor biology research, N 6-methyladenosine (m 6A) modification, as an important form of RNA modification, has attracted growing attention. The m 6A modification, the most prevalent RNA modification in eukaryotes, occurs in almost all types of RNA and plays a critical role in the occurrence, progression, and metastasis of breast cancer. It influences cell proliferation, apoptosis, and alterations in the tumor microenvironment, though the specific mechanisms underlying these effects require further in-depth investigation. Moreover, the specific patterns of m 6A modification demonstrate its potential as a novel biomarker for breast cancer, which could provide new directions for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.

Objective:To analyze the willingness and related factors of pregnant women in Shanghai City to receive influenza vaccines during pregnancy.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among pregnant women who registered in maternal and child health hospitals in 16 districts of Shanghai. The basic information, health status during pregnancy, attitude towards influenza vaccination, and knowledge of influenza and influenza vaccine were collected, and χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the willingness and related factors of pregnant women to receive influenza vaccines during pregnancy. Results:A total of 3 219 valid questionnaires were received, with 10.90% of pregnant women willing to receive influenza vaccination during pregnancy, 57.50% unwilling to receive vaccination and 31.59% holding an uncertain attitude. Among the pregnant women who were willing to receive the vaccine, 82.91% would take the initiative to know the relevant information about the influenza vaccine, and 87.18% understood the transmission routes of the flu. 32.09% believed that pregnant women could receive the influenza vaccination at any stage of pregnancy. Among those who were unwilling and held an uncertain attitude, the proportions of the above three questions were 47.06%, 83.95% and 17.80%, respectively. Among pregnant women who were unwilling to receive vaccination and held an uncertain attitude, the main reason for their vaccine hesitation was the concern about the safety of the vaccine for pregnant women and fetuses during pregnancy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pregnant women with higher education ( OR=3.278, 95% CI: 1.678-6.406, P=0.001), second trimester ( OR=1.542, 95% CI: 1.159-2.054, P=0.003), third pregnancy ( OR=2.318, 95% CI: 1.008-5.331, P=0.048), and previous influenza vaccination ( OR=1.552, 95% CI: 1.119-2.152, P=0.008) had a higher willingness to receive influenza vaccines during pregnancy. Conclusion:Pregnant women in Shanghai have a relatively low willingness to receive influenza vaccines during pregnancy, mainly due to concerns about vaccine safety.

Objective:To investigate tetanus antibody levels and distribution characteristics in a healthy population of Henan Province.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Henan Province from 2022 to 2023 to investigate the permanent population. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect anti-tetanus toxoid IgG antibody (anti-TT), and the positive rate (≥0.01 IU/ml), protection rate (≥0.1 IU/ml) and concentration differences of tetanus antibodies in different populations were analyzed.Results:The age M ( Q1, Q3) of 5 494 participants was 14 (4, 40) years old, with a minimum age of 8 months and a maximum age of 81 years old. The male-to-female ratio was 1.00∶1.18. The total positive rate, protective rate and mean concentration (MC) [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of Anti-TT were 76.48%, 41.72% and 0.067 (0.010, 0.154) IU/ml, respectively. The positive rates of Anti-TT in individuals aged <3, 3-5, 6-9, and 10-14 were 95.32%, 96.05%, 97.81%, and 93.17%, respectively, but gradually decreased with age ( χ2trend=1 283.02, P<0.001). The antibody protection rate [82.13% (579/705)] and MC [ M ( Q1, Q3) of 0.160 (0.122, 0.259) IU/ml] in the population under 3 years old were relatively high, and both showed a decreasing trend with age (protection rate: χ2trend=1 889.49, P<0.001; MC: t=-54.22, P<0.001). There were significant differences in antibody levels among populations of different ages, regions, occupations, and immunization histories (all P<0.001). Within 13 years after the last dose of TTCV vaccination, the positive rate of Anti-TT was all greater than 90%, but the protection rate and MC continued to decrease with the prolongation of vaccination time (protection rate: χ2trend=160.58, P<0.001; MC: t=-14.93, P<0.001). After the last dose of vaccination, the protection rate and MC [ M ( Q1, Q3)] decreased to 30.43% and 0.055 (0.036, 0.115) IU/ml, respectively, for 10-13 years. The protection rates of Anti-TT for farmers, workers, people aged 60 and above, and women of childbearing age (20-45 years old) were 7.77%, 22.96%, 8.39%, and 12.72%, respectively. Conclusion:The level of tetanus antibodies in infants and young children in Henan Province is relatively high from 2022 to 2023, but it decreases with age and prolonged post-immunization time. There are significant differences in antibody levels among individuals of different ages, regions, occupations, and immunization histories. Occupational high-risk groups such as farmers and workers, elderly people, and women of childbearing age lack sufficient immunization protection.

Objective:To investigate the expression of NADPH oxidase(Nox)in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Method:The rats were randomly divided into control group,COPD group,COPD medium exercise group and COPD intensive exercise group,with 10 rats in each group.The expression of NADPH oxidase,hypoxia induc-ible factor-1 alpha(HIF1α),inflammatory factors tumor necrosis——factor alpha(TNFα),interleukin-6(IL-6),matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2)and matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9)were detected by immunohistochemistry.Result:Compared with the control group,the expression of NADPH oxidase subtypes Nox1,Nox2,Nox5,HIF1α,TNFα,IL-6,MMP-2 and MMP-9 in COPD group increased significantly.Medium exercise reduced the expression of Nox2,Nox5,HIF1α and MMP-9 in COPD animal model,while intensive exercise reduced the expression of Nox1,Nox2,Nox5,HIF1α,TNFα,IL-6 and MMP-9.Conclusion:Rehabilitation exercise down regulated the expression of NADPH oxidases in lung,reduced the expression of downstream inflammatory factors and matrix metalloproteinase.The protective function of rehabili-tation exercise might achieve by inhibiting the expression of hypoxia inducible factor.

To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of pertussis in Tianjin City from 2010 to 2024. Data on pertussis cases reported in Tianjin between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2024, were extracted from the Infectious Disease Surveillance and Reporting Information System of the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Descriptive epidemiological methods and Joinpoint regression were used to analyze the temporal distribution and incidence trends of pertussis. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial-temporal scanning were employed to characterize the spatial distribution and clustering patterns. The incidence rate of pertussis in Tianjin exhibited an overall upward trend from 2010 to 2024 (AAPC=17.04%, P<0.001), peaking at 11.70 per 100 000 population in 2023. Prior to 2020, the incidence peaked in July and August, whereas from 2023 to 2024, high incidence periods shifted to autumn and winter. The highest average annual incidence rate occurred in the <1-year-old group (165.06 per 100 000), followed by the 5-9-year-old group (20.14 per 100 000). The groups under 1 year old and 1-4 years old showed a trend of first increasing, then decreasing, and subsequently increasing again, with 2018 and 2021 as turning points ( P<0.05). Global spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed significant spatial clustering of pertussis cases in Tianjin districts in 2017 ( Moran′s I=0.19) and 2023 ( Moran′s I=0.51), with both P<0.05. The spatial-temporal scan analysis identified nine high-incidence clusters, with the primary cluster occurring in 2023, covering Jinnan, Dongli, and Hexi districts ( RR=7.37, LLR=568.21, P<0.001). In summary, the incidence of pertussis in Tianjin City has shown an upward trend from 2010 to 2024. The epidemiological characteristics have significantly changed around 2020, with pronounced seasonal and spatial clustering patterns observed in the past two years.

Objective:To construct a questionnaire to measure parents′ behavioral and social drivers (BeSD) in administering rotavirus vaccine to their children, and to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.Methods:A questionnaire was constructed to investigate the BeSD of rotavirus vaccination among parents based on the WHO BeSD questionnaire. A survey was conducted among parents of children aged 0-3 years old in vaccination clinics from 15 community health service centers in Nanjing City of Jiangsu Province, Yuhuan and Kaihua Counties of Zhejiang Province, Anqing City of Anhui Province, and Yangpu District of Shanghai City from April to May in 2024. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to analyze the reliability (internal consistency reliability, combination reliability and split half reliability) and validity (structural validity, convergence validity and discriminative validity) of the questionnaire.Results:A total of 850 questionnaires were collected, of which 614 were valid, with an effective response rate of 72.20%. The EFA resulted in the refinement of the rotavirus vaccine BeSD questionnaire from 37 to 35 items (including 24 core items), and suggested a five-factor structure including the perceptions of vaccine, confidence in vaccine, social process of vaccination, motivation for vaccination, and practical problems of vaccination. The cumulative variance contribution rate reached 56.27%. The CFA confirmed an ideal five-factor model fit (GFI=0.82,CFI=0.86,PNFI=0.67,RMSEA=0.07). The AVE of each dimension was greater than 0.50. The AVE square root of each dimension of the questionnaire was greater than its correlation coefficient. The Cronbach′s α coefficient of the total questionnaire was 0.79.Conclusion:The developed BeSD questionnaire of rotavirus vaccine has good reliability and validity, and can be used to measure parents′ behavioral and social factors in administering rotavirus vaccine to their children.

Objective:To provide a scoping review of domestic and international studies on the influencing factors of frailty in stroke inpatients, and to provide guidance for interventional studies on debility in stroke inpatients in China.Methods:A systematic search of domestic and international literature databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL was conducted about the status and its influencing factors of frailty in stroke inpatients. The retrieval time limit was from database establishment to November 23, 2023. The included literature was extracted, analyzed, and summarized according to the reporting specifications of the scope review guidelines.Results:Thirty-six articles were included, all of the 36 papers reported the prevalence of frailty in patients with stroke. The top three countries with the highest prevalence were China (15.3%-86.9%), the United Kingdom (28%-78%), and Italy (31.37%). The risk factors of stroke frailty were categorized mainly into 4 themes: social demographic factors, physical health factors, disease-related factors, and psychological and social background factors.Conclusions:The confidence of frailty in stroke patients of a higher level at home and abroad, and the risk factors involved are complex and diverse. It is suggested that future studies need to conduct large-sample, multicenter longitudinal studies to clarify the causal relationship, strengthen the exploration of controversial factors of stroke debility, and carry out more targeted intervention studies, so as to reduce the incidence of frailty and improve the recovery process of patients.
