Objective: To explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health risk behaviors (HRBs) among college students and the mediating role of psychological symptoms, so as to provide a basis for developing intervention strategies. Methods: From March to April 2023, a convenience cluster sample of 1 801 students from 12 universities in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, Wuzhou of Guangxi completed an online survey. A self designed questionnaire, Adverse Childhood Experiences-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were used for evaluation tools. Binary Logistic regression, structural equation modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap methods were used to analyze the associations and mediating effects. Results: Overall, 71.2% of college students experienced at least one type of ACE, with emotional neglect (40.3%) and emotional abuse ( 25.2 %) having the highest detection rates. The top three HRBs were unhealthy diet (77.8%), physical inactivity (54.1%), and smoking/alcohol use (18.5%). Logistic regression showed that poor family functioning, abuse, and extra familial violence were each associated with an increased risk of smoking/alcohol use ( OR =1.14, 1.11, 1.18) and deliberate self harm ( OR =1.26, 1.19,1.30) (all P <0.05). Experience of abuse increased the risk of high risk sexual behavior and family dysfunction increaded the risk of physical inactivity, respectively ( OR = 1.07 , 1.04, both P <0.05). Mediation analysis revealed that anxiety ( β =0.20) and depression ( β = 0.09 ) partially mediated the pathway from poor family functioning to deliberate self harm; paranoia ( β =0.02) partially mediated the pathway from abuse to high risk sexual behavior; and obsessive-compulsive symptoms ( β =0.26) and depression ( β =0.10) partially mediated the pathway from extra familial violence to deliberate self harm (all P <0.05). Conclusion Psychological symptoms play a mediating role in the association between ACEs and HRBs, and mental health interventions may reduce the risk of HRBs among college students.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of cases involving monkey injuries at medical institutions surrounding Qianlingshan Park in Guiyang City, and to provide a reference basis for preventive measures to reduce monkey injuries and standardized post-exposure treatment.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting 1 900 cases of monkey-induced injuries in Qianlingshan Park treated at the outpatient clinic of Guizhou Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Surgery at Qianling Hospital, Guiyang City, from 2021 to 2024. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson′s chi-square test.Results:Total of 1 900 cases of monkey-related injuries in Qianlingshan Park were collected from 2021 to 2024. The exposure time distribution exhibited significant seasonality, with 48.58% of cases occurring during July and August, totaling 923 cases, indicating a peak in the summer. There were 774 male patients and 1 126 female patients, with a ratio of 1∶1.45.and significant differences were observed between different age groups and genders (χ2=195.00, P<0.001), with the highest number of cases occurring in the 0-9 and 20-29 age groups, accounting for 22.05%(419 cases) and 21.79%(414 cases), respectively. The upper limbs were the most common injury site, accounting for 50.84% of the total cases(966 cases in total), with significant differences between gender and injury location (χ2=22.00, P<0.001), Among females, the proportion of injuries to the upper and lower limbs (30.11% and 16.47%, respectively) was higher than that among males (20.74% and 8.63%, respectively). The majority of injuries were classified as Grade Ⅲ, making up 57.38% of cases(1 069 cases in total). Self-treatment after exposure was the most common approach(60.44%), with significant differences observed between wound severity and treatment method (χ2=6.90, P=0.032), Patients with Grade Ⅱ and Grade Ⅲ wounds were more likely to choose self-management (26.84% and 33.23%, respectively) than outpatient management (15.14% and 24.15%). Approximately 98.05% (1 863 cases) of monkey-injured patients had received rabies vaccinations. Conclusions:This study analyzes monkey-related injuries in Qianlingshan Park from 2021 to 2024, clarifying the temporal distribution of injuries, demographic characteristics, injury sites, and treatment methods. The findings provide references for optimizing human-monkey conflict management and the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases in urban ecological parks.

The inference of tissue origin of body fluid stains is crucial for case investigation and court proceedings.However,traditional methods for identification of body fluid stains,such as morpho-logical,chemical,and immunoassay identifications have certain limitations,and there is an urgent need for more efficient methods for confirmatory experiments.In recent years,the rapid development of tran-scriptomics technology has provided new means for the identification of tissue origin of body fluid stains.Different types of RNA in the transcriptome have their own advantages.This paper elaborates in detail on the application of different types of RNA,such as mRNA,miRNA,circRNA,lncRNA,piRNA and microbial transcriptomics in body fluid identification,and summarizes their respective ad-vantages and limitations,in order to provide a reference for related research.

Objective:To investigate the biological role and molecular mechanism of checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) in delaying cardiac aging in mice.Methods:In vitro, a senescence model of H9C2 cells (a cardiomyocyte line) was induced using H 2O 2. A control group (without H 2O 2 treatment) and three H 2O 2-treated groups (at concentrations of 10, 30, and 50 μmol/L) were set up. The CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate the proliferative activity of cells in each group; Western blot analysis was employed to detect the expression level of CHK1; and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was utilized to determine the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of P16 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). In vivo, C57BL/6 wild-type mice aged 2 months ( n=15) and 24 months ( n=40), as well as myocardial-specific CHK1-overexpressing (CHK1-TG) mice aged 2 months ( n=15) and 24 months ( n=40), were selected. The mice were divided into four groups based on age and genotype: 2-month-old wild-type (WT-2M), 24-month-old wild-type (WT-24M), 2-month-old CHK1-TG (CHK1-TG-2M), and 24-month-old CHK1-TG (CHK1-TG-24M). Echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac function of mice in the WT-24M and CHK1-TG-24M groups. Western blot analysis was conducted to measure the protein expression levels of CHK1, total Ras-related protein 1 (Rap1), NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4), and Rap1-guanosine triphosphate (Rap1-GTP, the active form of Rap1) in the cardiac tissue of mice in each group. qRT-PCR was used to detect the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of CHK1, collagen type Ⅰ (Coll1), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (Mmp2), alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), P53, P21, P16, thioredoxin 1 (Trx1), thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), glutathione recluctase (GR), Rap1, and Nox4. Immunofluorescence staining was employed to determine the protein expression levels of P53, P21, and P16, as well as the proportion of histone H2AX phosphorylation-positive cells. Dihydroethidium (DHE) staining was used to detect the relative intensity of DHE. Wheat germ agglutinin staining, HE staining, Masson staining and Sirius red staining were applied to measure the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes, cardiac morphology, and myocardial fibrosis area. Mice in the WT-24M and CHK1-TG-24M groups were intraperitoneally injected with the Rap1 activity inhibitor GGTI298 (25 μmol/kg). After injection, the oxidative stress damage in the cardiac tissue of the mice was detected, along with the mRNA expression levels of fibrosis-related indicators (Coll1, Mmp2, and α-SMA) and cell cycle inhibitory proteins (P16, P21, and P53). Results:A concentration of 30 μmol/L was determined as the optimal concentration for establishing an H 2O 2-induced senescence model of myocardial cells in vitro. The expression level of CHK1 in H9C2 cells of the 30 μmol/L H 2O 2 group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). Echocardiographic examination showed that the left ventricular ejection fraction ((61.08±1.13)% vs. (52.55±2.02)%) and fractional shortening ((31.80±1.27)% vs. (25.18±1.59)%) of mice in the CHK1-TG-24M group were higher than those in the WT-24M group (both P<0.05). qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis revealed that, compared with the WT-24M group, mice in CHK1-TG-24M group had higher expression levels of CHK1 and its mRNA, lower expression levels of Nox4 and its mRNA, and higher expression level of Rap1-guanosine triphosphate (Rap1-GTP) (all P<0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in the total expression level of Rap1 and its mRNA between the two groups (both P>0.05). In addition, the mRNA expression levels of Coll1, Mmp2, and α-SMA in myocardial tissue of mice in the CHK1-TG-24M group were lower than those in the WT-24M group (all P<0.05). Immunofluorescence staining results showed that the expression levels of P53, P21, and P16 proteins, as well as the proportion of phosphorylated histone H2AX-positive cells in myocardial tissue of mice in the WT-24M group were higher than those in the CHK1-TG-24M group (all P<0.05). qRT-PCR further confirmed that the mRNA expression levels of the above-mentioned proteins in cardiac tissue of mice in the WT-24M group were higher than those in the CHK1-TG-24M group (all P<0.05). DHE staining results indicated that the relative intensity of DHE in cardiac tissue of mice in the CHK1-TG-24M group was lower than that in the WT-24M group ( P<0.05). Meanwhile, the left ventricular internal diameter, cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes, and myocardial fibrosis area of mice in the CHK1-TG-24M group were all smaller than those in the WT-24M group (all P<0.05). Furthermore, the degree of DNA damage in cardiac tissue as well as the mRNA levels of fibrosis-related indicators (Coll1, Mmp2, and α-SMA) and cell cycle inhibitory proteins (P53, P21, P16) in mice of the WT-24M+GGTI298 group were higher than those in the WT-24M group and the CHK1-TG-24M+GGTI298 group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:CHK1 alleviates oxidative stress-induced damage in mouse cardiomyocytes by activating the Rap1/Nox4 signaling pathway, thereby delaying cardiac aging in mice.

OBJECTIVE: The relationship between fish consumption and stroke is inconsistent, and it is uncertain whether this association varies across predicted stroke risks. METHODS: A cohort study comprising 95,800 participants from the Prediction for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk in China project was conducted. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect data on fish consumption. Participants were stratified into low- and moderate-to-high-risk categories based on their 10-year stroke risk prediction scores. Hazard ratios ( HRs) and 95% confidence intervals ( CIs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models and additive interaction by relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion (AP), and synergy index (SI). RESULTS: During 703,869 person-years of follow-up, 2,773 incident stroke events were identified. Higher fish consumption was associated with a lower risk of stroke, particularly among moderate-to-high-risk individuals ( HR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.47-0.60) than among low-risk individuals ( HR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.49-0.85). A significant additive interaction between fish consumption and predicted stroke risk was observed (RERI = 4.08, 95% CI: 2.80-5.36; SI = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.42-1.89; AP = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.28-0.43). CONCLUSION Higher fish consumption was associated with a lower risk of stroke, and this beneficial association was more pronounced in individuals with moderate-to-high stroke risk.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the independent and combined effects of air pollutants, meteorological factors, and greenspace exposure on new tuberculosis (TB) cases. METHODS: TB case data from Shanghai (2013-2018) were obtained from the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Environmental data on air pollutants, meteorological variables, and greenspace exposure were obtained from the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center. We employed a distributed-lag nonlinear model to assess the effects of these environmental factors on TB cases. RESULTS: Increased TB risk was linked to PM _2.5, PM ₁₀, and rainfall, whereas NO ₂, SO ₂, and air pressure were associated with a reduced risk. Specifically, the strongest cumulative effects occurred at various lags: PM _2.5 ( RR = 1.166, 95% CI: 1.026-1.325) at 0-19 weeks; PM ₁₀ ( RR = 1.167, 95% CI: 1.028-1.324) at 0-18 weeks; NO ₂ ( RR = 0.968, 95% CI: 0.938-0.999) at 0-1 weeks; SO ₂ ( RR = 0.945, 95% CI: 0.894-0.999) at 0-2 weeks; air pressure ( RR = 0.604, 95% CI: 0.447-0.816) at 0-8 weeks; and rainfall ( RR = 1.404, 95% CI: 1.076-1.833) at 0-22 weeks. Green space exposure did not significantly impact TB cases. Additionally, low temperatures amplified the effect of PM _2.5 on TB. CONCLUSION Exposure to PM _2.5, PM ₁₀, and rainfall increased the risk of TB, highlighting the need to address air pollutants for the prevention of TB in Shanghai.
