Objective: To understand the association of physical exercise willingness and insomnia with depressive symptoms among college students, so as to provide reference for improving depressive symptoms of college students. Methods: From October 2022 to April 2023, cluster sampling was used to recruit 11 101 college students from four colleges in Anhui Province. The questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the willingness to engage in physical exercise, insomnia and depressive symptoms of college students. The multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of physical exercise willingness and insomnia with depressive symptoms of college students. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms among college students was 9.24%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that college students who were passive participants/non participants in physical activity, or who experienced insomnia, had a higher likelihood of depressive symptoms compared to those who were active participants or did not experience insomnia ( OR =1.84, 2.07, 4.02, all P <0.01). College students who were passive participants or non participants in physical activity and concurrently experienced insomnia had a higher risk of depressive symptoms compared with those who were active participants or did not experience insomnia ( OR =1.87-8.39, all P <0.01). Gender stratified analysis showed that the combined effect of passive physical exercise and insomnia increased the risk of depressive symptoms in both male ( OR = 1.81 -9.87) and female college students ( OR =1.67-7.39) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Both physical exercise willingness and insomnia are associated with depressive symptoms in college students. In order to improve the depressive symptoms of college students, it is necessary to improve the enthusiasm of physical exercise and strengthen the education of sleep health awareness.

Objective To investigate the effect of agomelatine on the clinical efficacy in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)and comorbid anxiety-depression disorders by regu-lating serum neurotransmitters and nerve cytokines.Methods A total of 160 elderly ACI patients with anxiety and depression symptoms admitted in Pingxiang Second People's Hospital from June 2020 to December 2023 were enrolled in this study.All of them received thrombolysis or interven-tional therapy,and then were randomly divided into control and observation groups,with 80 patients in each group.The control group received conventional psychological intervention,while the observation group was given additional oral administration of agomelatine.Cognitive function,neurological function,neurotransmitters and neuronal cytokines,anxiety and depression scores,sleep quality,quality of life,daily activity ability and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE)scores,levels of neuropeptide Y(NPY),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),norepinephrine(NE),dopamine and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),36-item Brief Health Questionnaire(SF-36)score,and Bar-thel index scale score were significantly higher in both 2 groups when compared with above indicators before the intervention(P＜0.01).And the MMSE score,NPY,5-HT,NE,dopamine and BDNF levels,SF-36 score and Barthel index scale score were obviously higher in the observa-tion group than the control group(P＜0.01).Both groups obtained notably lower NIHSS score,S100 calcium binding protein B(S100B)and myelin basic protein(MBP)levels,Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA)score,and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17(H AMD-17)score and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score after intervention(P＜0.01).And the NIHSS score,S100B and MBP levels,HAMA score,HAMD-17 score,and PSQI score were statistically lower in the observation group than the control group(P＜0.01).During the treatment process,no signifi-cant difference was observed in the incidence of total adverse reactions between the two groups(3.75％vs 6.25％,x2=0.526,P=0.468).Conclusion When agomelatine tablets are indicated for ACI patients with concomitant anxiety-depression disorders,they can effectively rehabilitate cog-nitive function,enhance neurological function,improve sleep quality and quality of life,optimize activities of daily living,eliminate negative emotions,and correct the expression of neurotransmit-ters and neurotrophic factors.

Objective:To explore the application effect of nursing intervention based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model in perioperative nursing of children undergoing concealed penis phalloplasty.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 86 children who were admitted to and underwent concealed penis phalloplasty in Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital were selected as the research objects from January 2022 to January 2023. They were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 43 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine nursing mode, and the observation group was treated with IMB model nursing intervention based on routine nursing. The heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels of children in the two groups were recorded at five time points, such as after preoperative visit (T 0), when leaving the preparation room period (T 1), before anesthesia induction (T 2), when leaving the anesthesia recovery room (T 3) and 24 h postoperative follow-up (T 4). The children were evaluated using Children's Emotional Adjustment Scale Preschool Version (CEAS-P), Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS), the Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC) and Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) . Results:After intervention, the CEAS-P scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, while the m-YPAS, ICC and PAED scores were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in HR and MAP levels of children undergoing concealed penis phalloplasty between the two groups at different time points ( P<0.01). HR and MAP levels at T 0, T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4 in observation group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was statistically significant differences in the interaction between nursing intervention and HR and MAP over time ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Nursing intervention based on the IMB model can effectively relieve the psychological anxiety of children with concealed penis phalloplasty in perioperative period and improve surgical safety.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis of a patient with clinically suspected Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS). METHODS: A child who had presented at Beijing Anzhen Hospital in September 2018 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data and family history of the patient were collected, along with peripheral blood samples of the proband and his parents. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out through next-generation sequencing. RESULTS: Candidate variants were searched through bioinformatic analysis focusing on genes associated with hereditary aortic aneurysms. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. The patient was found to have cardiovascular abnormalities including early-onset aortic dilatation and coarctation, and LDS syndrome was suspected. WES revealed that he has harbored a heterozygous c.1526G>T missense variant of the TGFBR2 gene. The same variant was not found in either parent and was predicted as likely pathogenic (PM1+PM2_Supporting+ PM6+PP3+PP4) based on the guidelines from the American College for Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). CONCLUSION The TGFBR2 c.1526G>T variant probably underlay the LDS in this patient and was unreported previously in China. Above finding has enriched the mutational spectrum of the TGFBR2 gene associated with the LDS and provided a basis for the genetic counseling for the patient.

Neuroinflammation is a key contributor to the pathogenic cascades induced by hypoxic-ischemic (HI) insult in the neonatal brain. AD-16 is a novel anti-inflammatory compound, recently found to exert potent inhibition of the lipopolysaccharide-induced production of pro-inflammatory and neurotoxic mediators. In this study, we evaluated the effect of AD-16 on primary astrocytes and neurons under oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in vitro and in mice with neonatal HI brain injury in vivo. We demonstrated that AD-16 protected against OGD-induced astrocytic and neuronal cell injury. Single dose post-treatment with AD-16 (1 mg/kg) improved the neurobehavioral outcome and reduced the infarct volume with a therapeutic window of up to 6 h. Chronic administration reduced the mortality rate and preserved whole-brain morphology following neonatal HI. The in vitro and in vivo effects suggest that AD-16 offers promising therapeutic efficacy in attenuating the progression of HI brain injury and protecting against the associated mortality and morbidity.

Objective:To analyze the molecular characteristics of dengue virus (DENV) strains circulating in Shantou city in 2018 and 2019 for elucidating the reasons causing strikingly different dengue fever epidemics during the two years and understanding the transmission characteristics and routes of DENV, and to provide reference for the prevention and control of dengue fever.Methods:Detection of viral nucleic acid contents and amplification and sequencing of E gene were carried out on 872 samples positive for DENV acid in 2018 and 2019. Phylogenetic trees were constructed based on the E gene sequences to analyze the homology of DENV strains. The sources and transmission routes of the strains were also analyzed. Results:A total of 99 sequences of DENV E gene were acquired, including 68 DENV-1 sequences and 31 DENV-2 sequences. The cases of dengue fever were sporadic in 2018. Phylogenetic tree showed the strains isolated in 2018 were from multi-sources and closely related to those found in Guangzhou city and Southeast Asia area. Dengue fever outbreaks occurred in 2019 and most of the prevalent strains were from a single source, which was speculated to be Cambodia. Conclusions:Dengue fever in Shantou city was mainly caused by imported strains of the same year rather than by local strains in previous years. DENV strains in Shantou might be traced back to Southeast Asia area and transmitted to Shantou through many routes.

Objective:To study the association between apparent temperature (AT) and the incidence of hand,foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and its spatial heterogeneity in 46 cities in Guangdong, Anhui and Jilin provinces, and provide scientific evidence for the early warning of HFMD.Methods:The data of HFMD incidence and meteorological factors from 2009 to 2018 in Guangdong province, 2009 to 2015 in Anhui province, and 2013 to 2018 in Jilin province were collected. Distributed lag non-linear models were constructed to investigate the association between AT and the incidence of HFMD in 46 cities from three provinces in China. Meta-analysis was used to pool the city-specific estimates, and Meta-regression was applied to analyze the factors that may cause spatial heterogeneity.Results:The relationship between daily AT and the incidence of HFMD in 46 cities appeared nonlinear. The association in Guangdong was similar to that in Jilin, and the risk of HFMD increased with the increase of AT. While the risk of HFMD in Anhui first increased with the increase of AT, and peaked at 18.1 ℃ and then went down. AT on different levels showed different lag impacts and the higher AT showed greater and longer lag impact. The spatial heterogeneity of associations may have been caused by latitude, longitude, average temperature, and average sunshine hours.Conclusions:AT is a comprehensive index to evaluate the association between temperature, relative humidity and wind speed and the incidence of HFMD. Higher AT may increase the risk of HFMD. The AT and HFMD relationship across spatial heterogeneity varies depending on geographic location and meteorological conditions.

Objective To compare the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Guangzhou and Wenzhou, and evaluate the effectiveness of their prevention and control measures. Methods Data of COVID-19 cases reported in Guangzhou and Wenzhou as of 29 February, 2020 were collected. The incidence curves of COVID-19 in two cities were constructed. The real time reproduction number ( R t ) of COVID-19 in two cities was calculated respectively. Results A total of 346 and 465 confirmed COVID-19 cases were analysed in Guangzhou and Wenzhou, respectively. In two cities, most cases were aged 30-59 years (Guangzhou: 54.9%; Wenzhou: 70.3%). The incidence curve peaked on 27 January, 2020 in Guangzhou and on 26 January, 2020 in Wenzhou, then began to decline in both cities. The peaks of imported COVID-19 cases from Hubei occurred earlier than the peak of COVID-19 incidences in two cities, and the peak of imported cases from Hubei occurred earlier in Wenzhou than in Guangzhou. In early epidemic phase, imported cases were predominant in both cities, then the number of local cases increased and gradually took the dominance in Wenzhou. In Guangzhou, the imported cases was still predominant. Despite the different epidemic pattern, the R t and the number of COVID-19 cases declined after strict prevention and control measures were taken in Guangzhou and in Wenzhou. Conclusion The time and scale specific differences of imported COVID-19 resulted in different epidemic patterns in two cities, but the spread of the disease were effectively controlled after taking strict prevention and control measures.

Objective To assess the imported risk of COVID-19 in Guangdong province and its cities, and conduct early warning. Methods Data of reported COVID-19 cases and Baidu Migration Index of 21 cities in Guangdong province and other provinces of China as of February 25, 2020 were collected. The imported risk index of each city in Guangdong province were calculated, and then correlation analysis was performed between reported cases and the imported risk index to identify lag time. Finally, we classified the early warming levels of epidemic by imported risk index. Results A total of 1 347 confirmed cases were reported in Guangdong province, and 90.0% of the cases were clustered in the Pearl River Delta region. The average daily imported risk index of Guangdong was 44.03. Among the imported risk sources of each city, the highest risk of almost all cities came from Hubei province, except for Zhanjiang from Hainan province. In addition, the neighboring provinces of Guangdong province also had a greater impact. The correlation between the imported risk index with a lag of 4 days and the daily reported cases was the strongest (correlation coefficient: 0.73). The early warning base on cumulative 4-day risk of each city showed that Dongguan, Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Guangzhou, Foshan and Huizhou have high imported risks in the next 4 days, with imported risk indexes of 38.85, 21.59, 11.67, 11.25, 6.19 and 5.92, and the highest risk still comes from Hubei province. Conclusions Cities with a large number of migrants in Guangdong province have a higher risk of import. Hubei province and neighboring provinces in Guangdong province are the main source of the imported risk. Each city must strengthen the health management of migrants in high-risk provinces and reduce the imported risk of Guangdong province.
