Objective: To characterize longitudinal trajectories of testicular development in boys and breast development in girls, so as to provide reference data for understanding patterns of pubertal sexual maturation. Methods: Based on the Shanghai Pudong New Area Cohort Study on Growth, Development and Health in Children and Adolescents, a baseline survey was conducted in 2020 using a mult stage cluster random sampling method. A total of 2 184 children who completed all follow ups during the primary school period from 13 elementary schools in Pudong New Area,Shanghai,with annual follow ups during 2021-2025. Testicular volume and Tanner stage of breast development were assessed by professional physicians using standardized visual inspection and palpation. The age distribution of testicular volume and breast development was fitted by using cumulative link mixed models and Turnbull s nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method. Results: Median ages for testicular volumes of 2, 3, 4 and 5 mL in boys were 7.07, 9.24, 10.29, and 11.57 years old, respectively. Median ages for Tanner breast stages Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in girls were 8.55 , 10.17, 11.18, and 13.78 years old, respectively. Based on overweight and obesity, stratified analysis showed that earlier pubertal onset among overweight/obesity children, and the key milestones for pubertal initiation were testicular volume reaching 4 mL in boys and breast Tanner II in girls for 10.29, 10.83; 8.18, 9.00 years. Conclusion Overweight and obesity are associated with earlier pubertal initiation,but there are certain gender and developmental stage specific patterns.

Myocardial infarction （MI） and osteoporosis （OP）， as two prevalent metabolic diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates， are respectively characterized by cardiovascular system dysfunction and bone homeostasis imbalance， collectively posing significant global public health challenges. While clinically often considered as independent diseases， recent studies have revealed shared pathological mechanisms between the two. This study initiated its exploration from the traditional Chinese medicine concept of the "heart-bone" axis， systematically analyzing the correlation between MI and OP from perspectives including hemodynamics， neuroendocrinology， calcium homeostasis， inflammation and vascular injury， as well as hormone levels. By discussing the pathological mechanisms of "heart disease affecting the bones and bone disease affecting the heart"， the study also elucidated advancements in both Western and traditional Chinese medicine treatments. The goal is to provide novel insights and methodologies for the prevention and treatment of "heart-bone comorbidities"， thereby facilitating comprehensive management of cardiovascular and skeletal diseases.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and spatial-temporal clustering of varicella in Changchun City from 2020 to 2024, so as to provide the evidence for formulating local varicella prevention and control measures. Methods: The individual case data of varicella were collected through the Surveillance and Reporting Management System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System in Changchun City from 2020 to 2024. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the population ,regional, and temporal distribution. Spatial autocorrelation and spatio-temporal scanning analyses were used to identify the spatial-temporal clustering characteristics. Results: A total of 8 850 varicella cases were reported in Changchun City from 2020 to 2024, with an average annual incidence of 19.64/105. There were 4 929 male cases and 3 921 female cases, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.26∶1. The age was mainly 0-<20 years (6 649 cases, 75.13%), and students were the predominant occupation (6 036 cases, 68.20%). The top three counties (cities, districts) with the highest number of cases were Chaoyang District (1 944 cases), Gongzhuling City (1 054 cases) and Nanguan District (987 cases), accounting for 45.03%. The peak incidence periods were from April to June and from October to December, with 2 166 and 4 226 cases, accounting for 24.47% and 47.75%, respectively. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that spatial clustering existed from 2020 to 2024. The high-high clustering areas were mainly some townships (streets) in Chaoyang District, Nanguan District, Changchun New District and Jingyue District. Spatio-temporal scanning analysis identified 6 high-risk clustering areas. The class Ⅰ clustering area was Nanhu Street in Chaoyang District, with the clustering period from September 2020 to February 2022. Conclusions Varicella cases in Changchun City were mainly males and students aged 0-<20 years from 2020 to 2024. The peak incidence was mainly in winter. Chaoyang District was a high-risk area, with obvious spatial-temporal clustering.

In the context of burgeoning economic trade, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of ships travelling between domestic and international ports. Inbound and outbound cargo ships, cruise liners, ferries, and other types of vessels have emerged as critical vehicles for the dispersal of vector organisms and the spread of infectious disease agents. Public health concerns associated with these vessels represent a significant threat to human welfare. In this paper, we comprehensively review the hazards posed by vector organisms on ships, the latest advances in prevention and control strategies, and proposes appropriate countermeasures. The aim is to provide effective guidance for the prevention and control of public health security issues caused by ship-borne vector organisms.

[摘 要] 目的：探讨β-catenin/CREB结合蛋白（CBP）通路抑制剂PRI-724联合伊马替尼对BCR-ABL1阳性慢性髓系白血病（CML）细胞及荷瘤模型的抗肿瘤作用及其潜在机制。方法：体外实验采用人K562细胞、能够稳定表达野生型BCR-ABL1（32D-WT）和T315I突变型BCR-ABL1（32D-T315I）的鼠源32D髓系细胞。采用CCK-8法检测伊马替尼、PRI-724单药及联合处理对细胞存活能力的影响，并计算半数抑制浓度（IC50）和联合指数（CI）；采用SA-β-gal染色检测细胞衰老相关表型；采用免疫共沉淀（Co-IP）法检测PRI-724对β-catenin与CBP/p300相互作用的影响。体内实验采用K562、32D-WT和32D-T315I细胞建立裸鼠皮下荷瘤模型，分别设未治疗组、伊马替尼组、PRI-724组及伊马替尼+PRI-724组，并给予相应处理，观察瘤体生长变化，并基于肿瘤生长抑制率（TGI）计算体内CI。采用WB法检测瘤组织中PI3K/AKT信号通路相关蛋白、核内β-catenin/CBP及下游效应因子c-Myc、Cyclin D1的表达。结果：伊马替尼和PRI-724对K562、32D-WT和32D-T315I细胞均呈浓度依赖性抑制作用。伊马替尼对K562、32D-WT和32D-T315I细胞的IC50分别为0.860、0.594和1.646 μmol/L；PRI-724对上述3种细胞的IC50分别为1.120、0.761和0.756 μmol/L。与32D-WT细胞相比，32D-T315I细胞对伊马替尼的敏感性降低，而对PRI-724的敏感性未见明显下降。K562、32D-WT和32D-T315I细胞中伊马替尼 + PRI-724联合处理的CI分别为0.635、0.780和0.689，提示两药在体外具有协同抑制作用。SA-β-gal染色显示，与伊马替尼单药组相比，PRI-724单药组3种CML细胞β-gal阳性细胞比例均升高，联合伊马替尼后进一步升高。Co-IP结果显示，PRI-724处理后β-catenin免疫沉淀复合物中CBP共沉淀水平降低，而p300共沉淀水平升高。体内实验显示，与伊马替尼单药组相比，伊马替尼 + PRI-724联合组瘤体体积和瘤体质量进一步降低；但基于TGI计算的K562、32D-WT和32D-T315I荷瘤模型体内CI均 > 1，提示在当前剂量和给药方案下，两药体内联合效应未达到理论相加预期，可能存在拮抗趋势。WB结果显示，与伊马替尼单药组相比，联合治疗组瘤体组织中p-PI3K/PI3K、p-AKT/AKT比值降低，核内β-catenin、CBP、c-Myc和Cyclin D1表达水平均降低。结论：PRI-724联合伊马替尼在体外具有协同抑制作用，并可在体内较伊马替尼单药进一步抑制瘤体生长。其机制可能与调节β-catenin/CBP/p300复合物、抑制PI3K/AKT信号通路及下调c-Myc、Cyclin D1表达有关。

Objective: To determine the potential genetic causal relationship between sleep related phenotypes and female pubertal onset using the two sample Mendelian randomization approach. Methods: Genetic instrumental variables for sleep and age at menarche were sourced from FinnGen, IEU Open GWAS and GWAS Catalog three publicly available Genome Wide Association Study databases. Causal effects were estimated using the inverse variance weighted method, supplemented by sensitivity analyses and tests for heterogeneity, pleiotropy, and direction. Results: Genetically predicted sleep duration was positively associated with age at menarche ( β =0.61, 95% CI =0.30-0.91, P <0.01). Conversely, overall sleep problems ( β =-0.13, 95% CI =-0.20 to -0.07 ), two specific types of sleep disorders (sleep apnea: β =-0.10, 95% CI =-0.16 to -0.03; insomnia: β =-0.40, 95% CI = -0.69 to -0.11) were causally associated with earlier age at menarche (all P <0.01). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings with consistent effect directions and no evidence of significant directional pleiotropy. Conclusions The study reveales a genetic causal relationship between sleep and pubertal onset. Adequate sleep duration appears to have a protective effect. These findings suggest that sleep may have a critical regulatory role in the initiation of pubertal development.

Objective To investigate the association between dietary patterns and adolescent development in girls in Pudong New Area，Shanghai. Methods Using a stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 998 girls were selected from the cohort of growth, development, and health of children and adolescents in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Physical development examinations and dietary surveys were conducted on these girls. Principal component analysis was used to determine girls' dietary patterns, and their relationship with adolescent development was analyzed using logistic regression. Results Among the 998 participants, 770 (77.15%) were pubertal girls. The factor analysis identified three dietary patterns, fungi and algae~nuts~legumes pattern, meat-vegetables and fruits-cereals pattern, and milk-eggs pattern. Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, waist circumference, residential district, mother's education level, and father's education level, the Q2 level (OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.30-0.99), Q3 level (OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.27-0.91), and Q4 level (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.90) of the fungi and algae-nuts-legumes pattern were negatively correlated with adolescent development. The Q2 level (OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.27-0.87) and Q3 level (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.27-0.88) of the milk-eggs pattern were also negatively correlated with adolescent development. Conclusion The fungi and algae~nuts~legumes pattern and milk-eggs patterns are inversely related to pubertal development.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors of incident caries at age 5 among caries-free 3-year-old children in Beijing, construct a machine learning prediction model based on oral health behavioral data, and provide a scientific basis and practical tool for early risk identification, stratified prevention and control, and home-kindergarten-medical collaborative intervention of incident dental caries in preschool children. Methods: This study has been reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee, and written informed consent was obtained from the guardians of the study participants and their guardians. Children with complete baseline data at age 3 and follow-up data at age 5 from Beijing public oral health programs were included. Oral examinations were conducted according to World Health Organization diagnostic criteria, and questionnaires were completed by guardians. Risk factors were screened by Logistic regression. The total sample was randomly divided into a test set (20%) and a validation set (80%). Five-fold cross-validation was performed on the validation set for model training and tuning, and the final model performance was evaluated on the test set. Four machine learning models—decision tree, random forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM)—were constructed. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, and specificity. Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) was used for model interpretation. Results: The incidence of incident caries for 3 372 5-year-old children in Beijing was 50.96%. Multivariate logistic regression showed that parental caries, sleeping with milk, frequent feeding at night, no postprandial cleaning, high sugar intake, insufficient bedtime tooth brushing, and non-fluoride toothpaste use were significant risk factors (P < 0.05). Although all four machine learning models performed well, the XGBoost model performed the best (AUC = 0.806). Feature importance and SHAP analysis indicated that the frequency of bedtime tooth brushing, the frequency of candy consumption, and parental caries status were the top three predictors. Conclusion The XGBoost model based on oral health behaviors at age 3 can accurately predict the risk of incident caries in 5-year-old children in Beijing. Bedtime tooth brushing, sugar control, and parental oral health management are key points for caries prevention in preschool children.
