Objective: To investigate the factors influencing the co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia, so as to provide a data foundation and theoretical basis for developing targeted intervention measures. Methods: In September and October 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 139 102 students from 539 schools across 12 leagues/cities and 103 banners/counties in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Participants who were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by a doctor at least once within one year and had a body mass index ≥ 28 kg/m 2 were considered to have comorbid conditions. Results: The coprevalence rate of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia was 6.4% (8 931 cases). Lasso-Logistic regression revealed that nonboarding status, higher maternal education, consuming high protein foods ≥1 time daily, occasionally or never eating breakfast, engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity for ≥60 minutes on fewer than half of holidays, and having been exposed to second hand smoke in person within the past seven days were associated with higher odds ratios for co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity( OR = 1.23 , 1.22-1.63, 1.20, 1.19, 1.38, 1.35); being female, higher grade level, residence in flag/county/district areas, non only child status, never having consumed a full glass of alcohol, non hypertensive status, and households without pets were associated with lower co-prevalence risks ( OR =0.65, 0.67-0.77, 0.81, 0.87, 0.73, 0.41, 0.68) (all P <0.05). The ROC curve indicated an area under the curve of 0.64 for the predictive model, demonstrating satisfactory discriminatory ability. The calibration curve showed consistency between predicted and actual occurrence probabilities. Conclusions The co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia is closely associated with demographic characteristics, dietary behaviours, and lifestyle habits. Future prevention and control strategies should prioritize these factors to implement targeted interventions.

Purpose To explore the characteristics of gray matter(GM)volume changes in migraine patients using 7T MRI and voxel-based morphometry(VBM).Materials and Methods This prospective study enrolled 30 migraine patients and 41 age-and gender-matched healthy controls from Beijing Tiantan Hospital,Capital Medical University between November 2023 and November 2024.All participants underwent 7T MRI with 3D T1-weighted magnetization-prepared two rapid gradient-echo(MP2RAGE)sequences for structural brain imaging.VBM analysis was performed to quantify GM,white matter,cerebrospinal fluid and total brain volumes,followed by calculations of their relative percentages.The difference in GM volume between the two groups was compared to identify brain regions with characteristic GM volume changes in migraine patients.And the correlation between these characteristic GM volume alterations and clinical scales was analyzed.Results Migraine patients exhibited significantly lower total GM volume compared to healthy controls(t=2.096,P=0.040),while no group differences were observed in white matter or cerebrospinal fluid volumes(t=0.980,0.151;P=0.330,0.880).VBM analysis revealed reduced GM volume in the left orbitofrontal cortex(t=4.301,P=0.022),left hippocampus(t=5.226,P=0.006)and left parahippocampal gyrus(t=3.960,P=0.040)in the migraine group.Negative correlations were identified between:left orbitofrontal cortex GM volume and headache duration(r=-0.506,P=0.008),left hippocampal GM volume and patient health questionnaire-9 scores(r=-0.620,P=0.003),and left parahippocampal GM volume and visual analogue scale scores(r=-0.449,P=0.019).Conclusion VBM analysis based on 7T MP2RAGE data demonstrates characteristic GM volume reductions in the left orbitofrontal cortex,left hippocampus and left parahippocampal gyrus in migraine patients,with these structural alterations significantly correlate with depressive symptoms and headache burden.The observed microstructural abnormalities may reflect underlying pathophysiological mechanisms related to pain processing,emotional regulation and long-term disease burden in migraine.

Objective:To learn about the current situation of organizational management and inter-departmental coordination and provide a basis for optimization the national joint prevention and control strategy of endemic fluorosis and arsenicosis.Methods:The staff engaged in prevention and control of endemic fluorosis and arsenicosis at the provincial, municipal, county, township, and village levels were selected as the investigation subjects. An online questionnaire survey was conducted to collect relevant information on organizational management and departmental coordination. SAS 9.4 software was used for data statistical analysis.Results:A total of 3 107 valid questionnaires were collected, covering 25 provinces, distributed in 6 regions including Northeast China, North China, East China, Central China, Northwest China, and Southwest China. Totally 92.52% (1 088/1 176) of the respondents believed that a leading group for prevention and control of endemic diseases had been established in their localities, there were statistically significant differences among different regions (χ 2 = 17.18, P = 0.004). However, the highest proportion of those who believed that no leading group had been established was in the Southwest China (14.09%, 21/149). Totally 83.97% (906/1 079) of the respondents believed that the coordination role of the leading group for endemic disease prevention and control was very good or relatively good. The proportion of survey respondents who believed that the local water resources department had a good/relatively good main responsibility in implementation of water improvement measures in drinking-water-borne fluorosis and arsenic poisoning areas, as well as in management of fluoride and arsenic reduction water improvement projects, were 90.51% (2 203/2 434) and 89.37% (2 143/2 398), respectively. The differences between different regions were statistically significant (χ 2 = 70.90, 57.40, P < 0.001). The highest proportion of general/poor cases was believed to be in the southwest region [25.14% (46/183), 24.58% (44/179)]. Totally 71.37% (187/262) of the respondents believed that the supply and distribution of low-fluorine brick tea in tea-drinking-borne endemic fluorosis areas were very good or good. Totally 90.55% (1 447/1 598) of the respondents believed that local medical insurance departments had included skeletal fluorosis patients who were covered by medical insurance. Totally 90.71% (1 474/1 625) of the respondents believed that social assistance departments had included eligible patients with skeletal fluorosis in the scope of social assistance. There were significant differences in the inclusion rate among different regions (χ 2 = 50.45, 46.22, P < 0.001). North China [18.99% (30/158), 21.43% (33/154)] and Southwest China [18.64% (33/177), 15.22% (28/184)] were the two regions with the highest percentage of respondents who believed that the above two were not included. Totally 83.19% (1 425/1 713) of the respondents believed that the local designated hospital for treatment of skeletal fluorosis had been established, there were statistically significant differences among different regions (χ 2 = 31.54, P < 0.001). North China (26.40%, 47/178) and Northwest China (24.56%, 42/171) had the highest proportion of those who believed that there were no designated treatment hospitals for skeletal fluorosis. Totally 83.58% (1 502/1 797) of the respondents believed that the utilization of medical insurance and other policy assistance was very good or good by skeletal fluorosis patients. In Northeast China (30.34%, 27/89), North China (28.41%, 50/176), Southwest China (24.00%, 48/200), and Northwest China (21.43%, 39/182), the proportion of those who believed that the utilization was average and poor were significantly lower than those in East China (11.57%, 96/180) and Central China (10.94%, 35/320, Pcorrect < 0.05). Totally 92.96% (2 747/2 955) of the respondents believed that the cooperation degree of education departments in school monitoring and health education was very good or good, and there were significant differences between different regions (χ 2 = 26.11, P < 0.001), and the highest proportion of respondents who believed that the degree of cooperation was average and poor was in Southwest China (12.63%, 37/293). Conclusions:Except for the East China and Central China, there are different degrees of problems in the organization management and/or departmental coordination and cooperation between departments of endemic fluorosis and arsenicosis prevention and control, especially in the Southwest region. All regions should raise awareness of risk prevention and control, strengthen joint prevention and control, and integrate medical and prevention mechanisms, and consolidate and improve the achievements of endemic fluorosis and arsenicosis prevention and control.

An analysis of 24 144 norovirus sequences from Asia and Russia deposited in GenBank between 1995 and 2023 was conducted,to understand the temporal and spatial variations in norovirus genotypes in these regions.Norovirus sequences from Asia and Russia were downloaded in FASTA format from GenBank for the years 1995-2023,and analyzed in Excel,R language,and GraphPad Prism for data visualization.The number of norovirus sequences submitted to GenBank increased annually from 2004 and peaked in 2015.Notably,China and Japan contributed 62.3％of all submitted norovirus sequences.These sequences encompassed 31 capsid genotypes(C-type),with GⅠ accounting for 9％and GⅡ accounting for 90％.Additionally,49 polymerase types(P-type)were identified,along with 68 combinations of CP types;among the analyzed recombinant sequences(4 460 entries in total),approxi-mately 41％belonged to three predominant recombinant strains:GⅡ.2[P16],GⅡ.4[P31],and GⅡ.4[P16].This analysis provides valuable insights into the distribution characteristics of norovirus genotypes across Asia and Russia over time,thereby supporting vac-cine design and evaluation efforts.

Objective:Exploring the role and mechanism of CHMP4C in regulating necroptosis during gastric can-cer development and progression.Method:The expression of CHMP4C in pan-cancer was analyzed by bioinformatics methods,and the expression of CHMP4C was detected in human normal gastric epithelial cells and GC cell lines by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Overexpression or knockdown of CHMP4C was performed in GC cell lines,and the effects of CHMP4C on the growth and proliferation of GC cells were detected using CCK-8 and clone formation assays.The CCK-8 experiment and Hoechst/PI double staining experiment were used to detect the changes in GC cell mortality and PI positive cell ratio after treatment with the necroptsis inducer TSZ or inhibitor necrostatin-1(Nec-1).Western blot assay was used to detect the protein and phosphorylation levels of RIPK1,RIPK3,and MLKL in GC cells.Result:CHMP4C was upregulated in GC tissues and cells.The CCK-8 and clone formation experiments showed that overex-pression of CHMP4C significantly improved the proliferation ability and colony formation efficiency of GC cells,while knockdown of CHMP4C significantly weakened GC cells.Moreover,the results of CCK-8 and Hoechst 33342/PI double staining experiments showed that upregulated CHMP4C could inhibit TSZ induced GC cell death;Nec-1 can reverse the decrease in GC cell viability caused by CHMP4C knockdown.Western blot experiment showed that the levels of p-RIPK1,p-RIPK3,and p-MLKL were significantly decreased in overexpressing cells,while they were increased in knockdown cells.After treatment with Nec-1,the expression levels of these three proteins decreased in knockdown cells.Conclusion:CHMP4C may promote GC progression by negatively regulating necroptosis through inhibiting the phosphorylation of the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway,suggesting that it is expected to be a potential target for GC therapy.
