Objective: To explore the developmental trajectories of depression in children and adolescents and their association with family types, and to analyze the role of being an only child in the context, so as to provide a basis for early identification of mental health issues in children and adolescents. Methods: The study was a secondary analysis based on the existing database of the Jiangsu Provincial Student Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors Monitoring and Intervention Project. A total of 11 502 students who had completed at least two measurements using the Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) between 2022 and 2024, and had complete information on family type, gender, and age, were selected as the study subjects. Latent class trajectory modeling was used to identify depression developmental trajectories. Multinomial Logistic regression was applied to analyze the association between family type and depression developmental trajectories, and the interaction effect of family type and being an only child was tested. Results: Three types of depression developmental trajectories were identified among children and adolescents: low stable type (91.3%, 10 504 students), moderate rising type (4.3%, 500 students), and high declining type (4.3%, 498 students). Significant differences were observed among the different trajectory groups in terms of gender, age, parental education level, family type, baseline CES-D score, and baseline school type ( χ 2/H=17.48, 139.97, 19.72 , 30.77, 1 081.35, 220.81, all P <0.05). Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that, using the low stable type as the reference trajectory group and the nuclear family as the reference family type, after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, and parental education level, single parent families ( OR=1.87, 95%CI= 1.16-3.03) and grandparent headed families ( OR=1.83, 95%CI =1.04-3.21) were significantly associated with the high declining type trajectory (both P <0.05). No significant association was found between family type and the moderate rising type trajectory (all P >0.05). The interaction effect between family type and being an only child was not statistically significant ( LRT=7.71, df=8, P =0.46). Conclusions Depressive symptoms in children and adolescents show heterogeneous developmental patterns during school age. Children and adolescents from single parent and intergenerational families are more likely to follow the high decreasing trajectory.

ObjectiveTo investigate the material basis and mechanism of action of Tuoli Xiaodu San in treating ulcerative colitis （UC） by integrating transcriptomics， network pharmacology， and experimental validation. MethodsNetwork pharmacology was initially employed to screen the active components and potential mechanisms of Tuoli Xiaodu San for treating UC. A UC mouse model was established by dextran sulfate sodium （DSS） induction. The mice were divided into the following groups： normal， model， high-dose （11.3 g·kg^-1） Tuoli Xiaodu San， low-dose （5.7 g·kg^-1） Tuoli Xiaodu San， and positive control （mesalazine， 0.4 g·kg^-1）. Intragastric administration commenced on day 1 of modeling and continued for 7 consecutive days. The disease activity index （DAI） was assessed daily. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe colonic pathological changes. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， interleukin-1 beta （IL-1β） and interleukin-6 （IL-6） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Transcriptome sequencing was performed on mouse colonic tissues， and the results were integrated with network pharmacology findings for in-depth analysis of Tuoli Xiaodu San's potential mechanisms in treating UC. Finally， the expression of key genes and proteins in the identified signaling pathways were detected using Western blot and Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsThe combined analysis of network pharmacology and transcriptomics results showed that the multi-pathway network with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway as its core was the key mechanism of Tuoli Xiaodu San in the treatment of UC. Tuoli Xiaodu San administration significantly ameliorated weight loss， diarrhea， and bloody stools in UC mice， reduced the DAI scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）， lowered the colonic histopathological scores （P<0.01）， alleviated colon shortening （P<0.01）， and downregulated serum levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Molecular biology experiments confirmed that Tuoli Xiaodu San significantly inhibited the mRNA and protein expression， as well as the phosphorylation levels， of PI3K， Akt， and p65 in colonic tissues （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionTuoli Xiaodu San can regulate the multi-pathway network with PI3K/Akt as its core through multi-component synergy， thereby reducing colonic inflammatory damage and exerting a therapeutic effect on UC.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of functional pelvic floor muscle training on pelvic floor muscle function, incontinence symptoms and quality of life in female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). MethodsFrom February, 2024 to July, 2025, 40 female patients with SUI were recruited from Beijing Bo'ai Hospital and advertisements. They were randomly divided into control group (n = 20) and experimental group (n = 20). The control group received conventional pelvic floor muscle contraction and relaxation training, and the experimental group received functional pelvic floor muscle contraction and relaxation training, for eight weeks. The data of pelvic floor muscle strength, pelvic floor muscle surface electromyography (sEMG), 1-hour urine pad test and Incontinence Quality of Life questionnaire (I-QOL) were collected before and after training. The compliance rate was counted after training. ResultsOne case dropped down in the control group and three cases dropped down in the experimental group. After treatment, the pelvic floor muscle strength increased in both groups (|Z| > 3.317, P < 0.01), the pre-resting average value, sustained contraction average value and durable contraction average value of sEMG improved in the control group (|t| > 2.731, P < 0.05), the mass of 1-hour urine pad significantly reduced (t > 9.215, P < 0.001) and the I-QOL score significantly increased (|t| > 13.229, P < 0.001) in both groups; compared with the control group, the pelvic floor muscle strength significantly increased (Z = -2.281, P = 0.023), the mass of 1-hour urine pad significantly reduced (t = 4.215, P < 0.001), the I-QOL score significantly increased (t = -4.501, P < 0.001), and the compliance rate significantly increased (Z = -2.798, P < 0.01) in the experimental group . ConclusionFunctional pelvic floor muscle training can significantly improve pelvic floor muscle strength, incontinence symptoms and quality of life in female patients with SUI.

Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Objective To analyze the proportion and clinicopathological characteristics of HER2-positive breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants, and their response to neoadjuvant anti-HER2 targeted therapy. Methods The clinicopathological data of 531 breast cancer patients with germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants (201 with BRCA1 variants and 330 with BRCA2 variants) were analyzed. Results Among the 201 BRCA1 and 330 BRCA2 variants, 17 (8.5%) and 42 (12.7%) HER2-positive breast cancer cases were identified, respectively, accounting for 11.1% of all BRCA1/2-mutated breast cancers. Compared with BRCA1/2-mutated HR-positive/HER2-negative patients, HER2-positive patients did not present any significant differences in clinicopathological features; however, compared with triple-negative breast cancer patients, HER2-positive patients had a later onset age and lower tumor grade. Among the 17 patients who received neoadjuvant anti-HER2 targeted therapy, 10 cases achieved pCR (58.8%), whereas 7 cases did not (41.2%). Conclusion HER2-positive breast cancer accounts for more than 10% of BRCA1/2-mutated patients. Approximately 40% of these patients fail to achieve pCR after neoadjuvant targeted therapy. This phenomenon highlights the possibility of combining anti-HER2 targeted agents with poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitors.

Objective To compare the colonoscopy results of patients with positive fecal SDC2,ADHFE1,and PPP2R5C gene methylation tests to those with positive fecal occult blood tests,and analyze the effectiveness of colorectal cancer(CRC)screening.This study aims to provide a scientific basis for risk assessment in CRC screening.Methods From December 2023 to May 2024,9 284 combined test kits for SDC2,ADHFE1,and PPP2R5C gene methylation were distributed to high-risk individuals aged 40～80 years.Among them,841 patients(9.1％)tested positive.These patients were encouraged via telephone to undergo colonoscopy,with colonoscopy combined with pathological diagnosis as the gold standard,a total of 495 positive patients completed electronic colonoscopy.Among them,the 251 patients who tested positive for fecal SDC2,ADHFE1,and PPP2R5C gene methylation and completed electronic colonoscopy were the observation group;concurrently,244 patients who tested positive for fecal occult blood tests and underwent electronic colonoscopy were selected as the control group.Compare two groups of patients with polyp,number,shape,pathological changes and pathological types.Results There was no statistically significant difference in number and lesion location of polyps between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).The proportion of Yamada type Ⅰ in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,while the proportion of Yamada type Ⅱ was higher than that in the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).In the observation group,1 case(0.4％)of CRC,62 cases(24.7％)of advanced adenomas,78 cases(31.1％)of non-advanced adenomas,20 cases(8.0％)of hyperplastic polyps,and 90 cases(35.9％)with no dysplastic lesions were identified.In the control group,6 cases(2.5％)of CRC,38 cases(15.6％)of advanced adenomas,53 cases(21.7％)of non-advanced adenomas,19 cases(7.8％)of hyperplastic polyps,and 128 cases(52.5％)with no dysplastic lesions were identified.The proportions of non-advanced adenomas and advanced adenomas were lower in the control group than those in the observation group,while the no dysplastic lesions rate was higher in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The detection rate of colorectal non-advanced adenomas and advanced adenomas is higher with fecal SDC2,ADHFE1,and PPP2R5C gene methylation testing compared to the fecal occult blood test.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze a patient with infertility due to complex chromosome rearrangement by optical genome mapping (OGM). METHODS: A female patient who was diagnosed with "primary infertility" at Shenzhen Longhua District Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in April 2024 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient was collected. Chromosome G banding karyotyping analysis was carried out for the patient and her parents, in addition with OGM and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq). This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No.: 2023052504). RESULTS: The patient, a 33-year-old female, had infertility for the past 5 years. OGM revealed formation of two derivative chromosomes through rearrangement of chromosomes 5 and 18. A loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 5 was also detected by OGM and CNV-seq techniques. Both of her parents had a normal karyotype. CONCLUSION The OGM technique can refine the position of chromosomal breakpoints and determine the direction and position of insertional fragment. Combined with karyotype analysis, the OGM can accurately determine the chromosomal karyotype of the patient and facilitate genetic counseling.
