Childhood is a critical period for growth and development, and the oral microbiota, as the second most diverse microbial community in the human body, plays a pivotal role in maintaining children's health. Recent studies have demonstrated that dysbiosis of the oral microbiota not only contributes to oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontitis but may also influence the development of children's skeletal, nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, and immune systems through mechanisms involving inflammatory responses, metabolic regulation, and cross-organ communication networks. This review systematically examines the role of the oral microbiota in childhood growth and development and, guided by the core principles of the "active health" model, proposes multiple intervention strategies—including probiotics, xylitol, and mouthwashes—to optimize children's health through early oral microbiota modulation.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a global malignancy with significant chemoresistance impacting patient prognosis. The pro-tumorigenic role of hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor (HMMR) in LUAD is recognized. This study was designed to investigate the underlying mechanisms by which HMMR affects chemoresistance in LUAD. Bioinformatics presented the expression patterns of HMMR in LUAD patients and the association between HMMR levels and patient survival, followed by qRT-PCR to verify HMMR expression in LUAD tissues and cells. Further, bioinformatics was leveraged to identify the signaling pathways enriched by HMMR and its relevance to glycolytic genes, we also analyzed changes in the glycolytic activity of LUAD cells by manipulating HMMR expression. Stemness was evaluated through cell aggregation assays and Western blot, and drug responsiveness was gauged using CCK-8 assays, alongside flow cytometry for apoptosis analysis. HMMR was highly expressed in LUAD tissues and cells, and this overexpression correlated with poorer prognoses in patients. GSEA showed that HMMR was notably enriched in the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways, correlating positively with the expression of key glycolytic genes. Cellular experiments confirmed that HMMR knockdown notably suppressed aerobic glycolysis in LUAD cells. Moreover, overexpression of HMMR could further enhance the stemness and cisplatin resistance of LUAD cells by stimulating glycolysis. In brief, this study has validated that high levels of HMMR in LUAD are predictive of poor patient prognosis, and that overexpression of HMMR can catalyze aerobic glycolysis, thus promoting stemness and chemoresistance in LUAD cells. Thus, HMMR could be a target for improving chemosensitivity in LUAD.

Tissue resident memory T(TRM)cells are a class of memory T cells with long life span and non-lymphoid resident characteristics.TRM cells are the first line of defense against secondary infections in human.TRM cells can restrict the transmission of viruses as well as combat against viruses.Rapid evolution of severe acute respiratory syn-drome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)and post-COVID-19 syndrome could lead to a series of symptoms such as pulmonary fi-brosis,resulting in long-term fall in quality of life.Many studies focused on enhancing the ability to cope with the mutation of SARS-CoV-2 and reducing the incidence of post-COVID-19 syndrome.The relationship between TRM cells and SARS-CoV-2 infection or therapy still remain unknown.It is significant to investigate TRM cells divergence and functions for the development of vaccines.We review the functions and residence properties of TRM cells,as well as their roles in SARS-CoV-2 infection and post-COVID-19 syndrome.In this review,we are dedicated to deepen our understanding of the immune process in SARS-CoV-2 infection and provide a new prospect for the prevention and treatment of post-COVID-19 syndrome.

Objective:To study the correlation between iodine level in drinking water and conventional water quality indicators.Methods:From June 2017 to July 2018, a simple random sampling method was used to select administrative villages (communities) from 88 counties (cities, districts) in Guizhou Province with a sampling size greater than 5%. One drinking water sample was collected from each administrative village (community), and conventional water quality indicators (including fluorine, aluminum, mercury, selenium, sulfate, total dissolved solids and total hardness) were tested in accordance with the methods outlined in the "Standards for Drinking Water Quality" (GB 5749-2006). The cerium sulfate catalytic spectrophotometric method was employed to test drinking water iodine level. Spearman method was utilized to analyze the correlation between iodine level in drinking water and conventional water quality indicators.Results:A total of 904 drinking water samples were tested, with a median iodine level of 1.90 μg/L and a range of 0.10 - 36.70 μg/L. There were 899 administrative villages (communities) with a water iodine level of less than 10 μg/L, accounting for 99.45%. There were only 5 administrative villages (communities) with a water iodine level of greater than 10 μg/L, accounting for 0.55%. Correlation analysis revealed that in Guizhou Province, the iodine level in drinking water was positively correlated with the levels of fluorine, aluminum, sulfate, total dissolved solids, and total hardness [correlation coefficients ( r) = 0.11, 0.07, 0.07, 0.08, 0.07, P < 0.05], and was a negatively correlated with mercury and selenium levels ( r = - 0.12, - 0.12, P < 0.001). Conclusions:External environment in Guizhou Province is generally deficient in iodine. The iodine level in drinking water is positively correlated with the levels of fluorine, aluminum, sulfate, total dissolved solids, and total hardness, and negatively correlated with the levels of mercury and selenium.

Background:Th9 cells are a newly identified subpopulation of CD4+helper T cells.Immune checkpoint inhibitors have emerged as a central focus in the realm of gastric cancer immunotherapy.However,the comprehension of the alterations within Th9 cells and the expression patterns of immune checkpoint molecules on their surface among gastric cancer patients remain limited.Aims:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of immune checkpoint molecules on Th9 cells in the peripheral blood of gastric cancer patients.Methods:A total of 74 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer and initially treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between June 2021 and September 2022 constituted the case group,while 34 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination during the same period served as the control group.The proportion of Th9 cells in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)and the surface expression of PD-1,TIM-3,B7-H3 and B7-H4 were assessed using flow cytometry.Subsequently,correlations of their expression levels and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of gastric cancer patients were preliminarily analyzed.Results:When compared to the control group,the proportion of Th9 cells in PBMCs of gastric cancer patients was significantly decreased,while the surface expression levels of PD-1,TIM-3,B7-H3,and B7-H4 were notably elevated(all P<0.05).Positive correlations were observed between TIM-3 and B7-H3,TIM-3 and B7-H4,as well as B7-H3 and B7-H4 on Th9 cells(all P<0.05).Gastric cancer patients aged 70 years or older demonstrated significantly higher levels of PD-1 expression on Th9 cells(P<0.05).Furthermore,low PD-1 expression was associated with a significantly prolonged progression-free survival compared to high expression(27.55 months vs.19.17 months,P<0.05).Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that high PD-1 expression was an independent risk factor for postoperative disease progression in gastric cancer patients(HR=3.398,95%CI:1.278-9.033,P=0.014).Conclusions:Peripheral blood Th9 cells,along with their surface immune checkpoint molecules,are hypothesized to exert a significant influence on the initiation and progression of gastric cancer.Alterations in PD-1 expression on Th9 cells might be intricately linked with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

Objective:To explore the relationships between physical activity and cognitive impairment in older adults aged ≥65 years in longevity areas in China.Methods:A total of 6 081 older adults aged ≥65 years from the Healthy Ageing and Biomarkers Cohort Study in China in 2021 were included in this study. Information about their demographic characteristics, lifestyles, and chronic disease histories were collected, the intensity of physical activity was evaluated by using Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, and the cognitive function was evaluated by using Mini-Mental State Examination Scale (Chinese version). Multifactorial logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations between different levels and types of physical activity and cognitive impairment in older adults.Results:In the 6 081 older adults, 1 829 (30.1%) had cognitive impairment. After adjusting for confounders, older adults with T2 and T3 levels of physical activity had lower risks for cognitive impairment compared with those with T1 levels of physical activity, with ORs of 0.47 (95% CI: 0.40-0.55) and 0.22 (95% CI: 0.18-0.28). The results of different types of physical activities showed that the ORs in leisure activity T2 and T3 groups were 0.52 (95% CI: 0.44-0.63) and 0.49 (95% CI: 0.41-0.58), and the ORs in housework activity T2 and T3 groups were 0.36 (95% CI: 0.30-0.42) and 0.19 (95% CI: 0.16-0.24). There was no significant association between work-related activity and cognitive impairment. Conclusion:There is a negative association between the intensity level of physical activity and cognitive impairment, and active leisure and household activities might reduce the risk for cognitive impairment.
