Objective:
To evaluate the characteristics and related factors of physical activities both inside and outside the kindergarten among preschool children, so as to provide a reference for promoting targeted physical activities among different types of children in the future.
Methods:
From April 2016 to December 2022, 706 preschool children aged 3 to 6 years from the Shanghai parent child cohort followed up. Accelerometers were used to measure their physical activities during kindergarten hours, and a parent questionnaire was employed to assess their physical activities and screen time outside the kindergarten. Restrictive cubic spline analysis was used to examine the relationship between moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA) inside and outside the kindergarten. Cluster analysis was performed to identify physical activity patterns among children, and multinomial Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors of these physical activity patterns.
Results:
On weekdays, preschooler accumulated an average of (40.83±15.71) minutes of MVPA inside the kindergarten and 30(15, 53) minutes outside daily. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed an inverted U shaped relationship between MVPA inside and outside the kindergarten. Cluster analysis identified four groups: low daily MVPA but active inside (196, 27.8%), moderate daily MVPA but high screen time outside (97, 13.7%), adequate daily MVPA and relatively active outside (96, 13.6%), and low daily MVPA and relatively inactive both inside and outside (317, 44.9%). Compared to the reference group of adequate daily MVPA and relatively active outside, children with screen time exceeding 60 minutes at 2 years old were more likely to belong to the group with adequate daily MVPA but more screen time outside ( OR =3.84, 95% CI =1.16-12.74, P <0.05). Boys had a lower likelihood of being in the group with low daily MVPA and relatively inactive both inside and outside ( OR =0.33, 95% CI =0.16-0.70, P <0.05). Children from neighborhoods with insufficient sport facilities were more likely to be in the low daily MVPA and relatively inactive group ( OR =2.20, 95% CI = 1.05 -4.63, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Behavior patterns of physical activity and screen time for both inside and outside the kindergarten vary greatly among different children. Screen time at the age of 2 and the sports facilities around the commuinty are key factors influencing the physical activity pattern. It is recommended to implement personalized intervention plans in collaboration with schools and families for different types of children.

Objective:To evaluate the role of O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase (OSGEP) in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) and the relationship with oxidative stress in mice.Methods:Experiment Ⅰ Twenty-four SPF healthy male C57BL/6 mice, 12 wild-type and 12 OSGEP knockdown, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) by the random number table method: wild-type shamoperation group (Sham group), wild-type HIRI group (HIRI group), OSGEP knockdown+ sham operation group (Sham+ KD group) and OSGEP knockdown+ HIRI group (HIRI+ KD group). Ischemia-reperfusion model was prepared by blocking the hepatic artery and portal vein for 60 min followed by reperfusion in anesthetized animals, the blood vessels were only exposed without occlusion in Sham group and Sham+ KD group, and the blood vessels were clamped for 60 min followed by reperfusion in HIRI group and HIRI+ KD group. The mice were sacrificed after 6-h reperfusion to extract liver tissue samples for microscopic examination of histopathological changes (with an optical microscope after HE staining) which were evaluated using Suzuki score and for determination of the serum concentrations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (using the DCFH-DA fluorescent probe method), contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione(GSH) in liver tissues (using a colorimetric method) and expression of OSGEP (using Western blot). Experiment Ⅱ The well-growing AML12 cells were divided into 4 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), oxygen-glucose deprivation/restoration (OGD/R) group, OGD/R+ OSGEP knockdown group (OGD/R+ KD group), and OGD/R+ OSGEP knockdown negative control group (OGD/R+ NC group). Group C was cultured under normal conditions. Group OGD/R was subjected to O 2-glucose deprivation for 6 h followed by restoration of O 2-glucose supply for 24 h in OGD/R group. In OGD/R+ KD group, stable transfection of AML12 cells with OSGEP knockdown was performed prior to the experiment, and the other procedures were the same as those previously described. The cell survival rate was measured by the CCK-8 assay, the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured, the DCFH-DA method was used to detect the levels of ROS, and the contents of MDA and GSH were determined using a colorimetric method. Results:Experiment Ⅰ Compared with Sham group, the expression of OSGEP was significantly down-regulated, the serum concentrations of AST and ALT, Suzuki score, levels of ROS and content of MDA were increased, and the GSH content was decreased in HIRI group ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in each parameter in Sham+ KD group ( P>0.05). Compared with HIRI group, the serum concentrations of AST and ALT, Suzuki score, levels of ROS and content of MDA were significantly increased, and the GSH content was decreased in HIRI+ KD group ( P<0.05). Experiment Ⅱ Compared with group C, the expression of OSGEP was significantly down-regulated, the cell survival rate and GSH content were decreased, and the release of LDH, levels of ROS and content of MDA were increased in group OGD/R ( P<0.05). Compared with OGD/R group, the cell survival rate and GSH content were significantly decreased, and the release of LDH, levels of ROS and content of MDA were increased in OGD/R+ KD group ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in each parameter in OGD/R+ NC group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:OSGEP plays an endogenous protective role in HIRI by inhibiting oxidative stress in mice.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features and genetic characteristics of Congenital bile acid synthetic disorder type 3 (BASD3) disorder caused by CYP7B1 gene variation.Methods:This was a case series study. Clinical data and genetic results of 2 cases of congenital bile acid synthetic disorder type 3 caused by CYP7B1 gene variations in the Department of Infectious Diseases, Children′s Hospital of Fudan University at Xiamen and Department of Pediatrics, Women and Children′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen University from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Literature up to December 2023 was searched from electronic databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data and PubMed with the combined keywords of " Congenital bile acid synthetic disorder type 3""Oxysterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase""Oxysterol 7α-Hydroxylase Deficiency""BASD3" and "CYP7B1 liver" both in Chinese and English. The main clinical features and genetic characteristics of BASD3 disorder caused by CYP7B1 gene variations were summarized.Results:Two BASD3 patients, 1 male and 1 female, were admitted at the ages of 3 months and 18 days, and 2 months and 7 days, respectively. Both patients presented with neonatal cholestasis and hepatomegaly. Biochemical evidence indicated direct hyper-bilirubinemia with elevated aminotransferase levels, while gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and total bile acid levels were normal or nearly normal. Patient 1 was a compound heterozygotes of the CYP7B1 gene variants c.525-526insCAAGTTGG(p.Asp176GInfs*15) and c.334C>T(p.Arg112Ter). Patient 1 jaundice resolved and liver function tests normalized after oral administration of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA). Patient 2 was homozygous for variant c.334C>T(p.Arg112Ter) in CYP7B1 gene. Patient 2 was in liver failure status already and not reactive to oral CDCA administration. Patient 2 received living-related liver transplantation for enhanced abdominal CT revealed a liver tumor likely vascular origin. Literature review revealed no cases of BASD3 reported in Chinese literature, including 2 patients in this study, while 12 patients (9 males and 3 females) were reported in 9 English literatures. All of the 12 manifested jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly in infancy, with cirrhosis, liver failure, kidney enlargement, hypoglycemia, and spontaneous bleeding in some cases, polycystic kidney disease was demonstrated in 5 cases of them. The c.334C>T (p.Arg112Ter) of the CYP7B1 gene was homozygous in 4 cases and compound heterozygous in 2 cases. Among the 12 children, 6 cases received CDCA treatment, while 6 cases not. Four survived with their native liver in the 6 cases who received CDCA therapy, while none in the 6 cases not received CDCA therapy.Conclusions:BASD3 is a rare hereditary cholestatic disorder. Markedly elevated levels of conjugated bilirubin and aminotransferases, with normal or nearly normal GGT and total bile acid levels can serve as diagnostic clue. c.334C>T is the most common pathogenic variant of the CYP7B1 gene. Timely administration of CDCA may save the liver.

Objective:
To investigate the distribution of various types of screen time and examine the association of screen time with psychological and behavioral development problems in children aged 3-6 years, so as to provide scientific basis for children s screen use and mental health promotion.
Methods:
A total of 3 875 mother child dyads who completed the follow up in Shanghai Maternal-Child Pairs Cohort were included. The daily usage time of children s tablet, mobile phone, TV, projectors, and other types of screens were obtained in questionnaire survey. Children s psychological and behavioral development problems were evaluated by Age-Stage Questionnaire, Third Edition (ASQ-3) and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Parent version) (SDQ). The Chi-square test, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis rank sum test were used to compare the detection rate of psychological and behavioral development problems and screen time in children with different characteristics. Multivariate binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the association of screen time with psychological and behavioral development problems.
Results:
There were 49.91% of children having screen time more than 1 h/d. Children s TV, tablet and mobile phone screen time were 0.39(0.25, 0.96 ), 0.25(0,0.61) and 0.18(0,0.25) h/d. The detection rates of suspected developmental delay in fine motor, problem solving and personal-social domains and pro social behavior deficiency and externalizing behaviors in boys (8.54%, 6.77%, 5.46%, 30.07 %, 27.39%) were higher than that in girls (4.64%, 4.85%, 2.48%, 22.10%, 22.36%) ( χ 2=23.76, 6.49, 22.37, 31.81, 13.06, P <0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of suspected developmental delay in communication, fine motor and problem solving, as well as internalizing behavior and externalizing behavior of children with different parents educational levels ( χ 2=14.37, 15.18, 21.10, 11.66, 9.27; 16.34, 26.75, 32.89, 16.97, 6.37, P <0.05). There were significant differences in the detection rates of suspected developmental delay in problem solving, prosocial behavior deficiency, internalizing behavior and externalizing behavior of children whose mothers had anxiety/depression symptoms during pregnancy ( χ 2= 5.61 , 9.05, 21.90, 7.17; 8.75, 6.06, 12.76 , 5.55, P <0.05). The average total screen time of boys was longer than that of girls (1.07, 1.00 h/d, Z=-2.08, P =0.04). Compared with children with other educational levels of their parents, the total screen time, mobile phone and TV screen time of children whose parents had college education or above were short (father: H =42.01, 44.49 , 21.24, mother: H =42.31, 39.21 , 26.47, P <0.01). Among all types of screen time, mobile phone screen time had the most impact on psychological and behavioral development. More mobile phone screen time increased the risk of suspected developmental delay and abnormal emotional behavior ( P < 0.05). Screen time of tablet, mobile phone and TV were positively correlated with externalizing behavior ( OR=1.36, 1.57, 1.27 , P <0.05).
Conclusions
Screen time is related to children s psychological and behavioral development problems and mobile phones affect the most. Parents should limit their children s screen time to avoid excessive screen time affecting their psychological and behavioral development.

Methods:
A total of 80 children with ADHD treated in the Third People s Hospital of Ganzhou from January 2021 to June 2022 were randomly divided into intervention group and control group. The intervention group received drug and comprehensive intervention therapy, and sensory integration training once a week for 60 to 90 min each for 12 weeks, and conduct related training for caregivers and school teachers, the control group received only drug therapy. The changes of executive function were assessed by the stroop color word association test and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) after 12 weeks of intervention.
Results:
After intervention, the results of the Stroop color word test in the intervention group (3.25±0.98, 4.92±1.40, 10.17±1.28) showed statistically significant differences ( t=12.94, 15.36, 26.34 , P <0.01) compared with those before intervention (6.47±1.92, 8.35±1.25, 16.55±1.57). There were also statistically significant differences ( t=6.76, 15.01, 16.15, P <0.01) in the control group ( 3.95 ±1.01, 5.45±1.15, 12.35±0.86) compared to those before intervention (6.17±1.87, 8.10±1.03, 16.02±1.38). Before intervention, the number of perseverative errors, non perseverative errors, and completed categories by WCST in the intervention group were (47.77±4.50, 35.50±2.37, 3.97±1.07), and in the control group were (46.45±7.34, 34.87±2.29, 3.70±1.11). After intervention, those of the intervention group and control group were (31.42±2.01, 24.75±2.05, 5.05±1.13) and (32.82±2.57, 25.55±1.04, 4.25±1.48), respectively. There were significant differences in the two groups before and after intervention ( t =21.93, 22.27 , -10.37; 10.84, 26.81, -6.90, P <0.01). After intervention, there were significant differences in the number of Stroop color word test errors, perseverative errors and non perseverative errors in WCST between the two groups ( t=-2.94, 2.29, -9.07, -2.35 , -2.06, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Through training for children and the therapy model of comprehensive intervention could significantly improve the executive function of children for a certain extent.

Objective:
To investigate immune responses to influenza virus infections and the immunogenicity of trivalent split-virus influenza vaccine among elderly populations in Jiangbei District, Ningbo City, so as to provide the support for promoting influenza vaccination among elderly populations.
Methods:
The elderly populations at ages of 60 years and older were recruited in Jiangbei District of Ningbo City from September to November, 2020, and the participants were assigned to the vaccination group and the control group according to vaccination intention. The titers of haemagglutination inhibition ( HI ) antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV were measured using the micro HI test prior to vaccination and 30 days post-vaccination, and the protective rate, geometric mean titer ( GMT ) and seroconversion rate of antibodies were analyzed before and after vaccination.
Results:
There were 290 participants in the vaccination group, including 132 men (45.52% ), and 290 controls, including 132 men ( 45.52% ). There were no significant differences between the vaccination group and the control group in terms of the protective rate or GMT of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV prior to vaccination ( P>0.05 ). Following vaccination, the protective rates of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV were 98.62%, 94.14% and 88.28%, and the GMT of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV increased by 9.26, 6.19 and 10.09 folds, while the seroconversion rates of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV were 78.62%, 68.28% and 71.38%, respectively. The protective rates, GMT and seroconversion rates of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV were all significantly greater in the vaccination group than in the control group post-vaccination ( P<0.05 ). A lower increase was seen in the GMT of antibodies against the influenza virus BV among residents at ages of 80 years and older (increase by 7.91 folds) than among residents at ages of 70 to 79 years ( increase by 12.53 folds ) and 60 to 69 years (increase by 13.32 folds) in the vaccination group post-vaccination ( P<0.05 ), and the seroconversion rate of antibodies against the influenza virus BV was significantly lower in residents at ages of 80 years and older ( 62.57% ) than in those at ages of 70 to 79 years ( 83.33% ) ( P<0.05 ), while the positive conversion rate of antibodies against the influenza virus A ( H3N2 ) was significantly lower in residents at ages of 80 years and older ( 62.57% ) than in those at ages of 60 to 69 years ( 91.30% ) ( P<0.05 ).
Conclusions
Low-level immune responses are detected to antibodies against influenza virus A ( H3N2 ) and BV among elderly populations in Jiangbei District of Ningbo City, and trivalent split-virus influenza vaccine shows a high immunogenicity among elder populations. An emphases on improvements in coverage of influenza vaccination among elderly populations at ages of 60 to 69 years, and development of influenza vaccines with a higher protective efficacy for residents at ages of 80 years and older are recommended.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer and application value of its nomogram prediction model.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 914 patients with T1 colorectal cancer who underwent radical resection in the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from June 2008 to December 2019 were collected. There were 528 males and 386 females, aged from 25 to 87 years, with a median age of 63 years. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological data of patients with T1 colorectal cancer; (2) follow-up; (3) analysis of influencing factors for lymph node metastasis; (4) development and internal validation of a nomogram predition model. Patients were regularlly followed up once three months within postoperative 2 years and once six months thereafter to detect tumor recurrence and survival. The endpoint of follow-up was at postoperative 5 years. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. The Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Logistic regression analysis. Based on results of multivariate analysis, a Logistic regressional nomogram for prediction of lymph node metastasis probability was constructed using R language software. The calibration curve was used to evaluate the consistency between probability predicted by the nomogram model and actual observation probability, which was reprensented by a consistency index. The Bootstrap method was used for evaluation of the model performance to receive the calibration curve. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to calculate the goodness of fit in model. Results:(1) Clinicopathological data of patients with T1 colorectal cancer: 687 of 914 patients underwent direct surgery and 227 underwent remedial operation after endoscopic resection. All the 914 patients were confirmed as pT1NxM0 colorectal cancer by pathological examination. The tumor diameter was (2.3±1.2)cm. The pathological catogaries of 914 patients included 865 cases of adenocarcinoma and 49 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma. The tumor differentiation degree of 914 patients included 727 cases of high or middle differentiation and 187 cases of low differentiation or undifferentiation. Of the 914 patients, 633 cases had submucosal infiltration depth ≥1 000 μm and 281 cases had submucosal infiltration depth <1 000 μm. There were 110 cases with nerve vessel invasion and 804 without nerve vessel invasion. The number of intraoperative lymph node dissection was 13 (range, 1-48). There were 804 cases in stage N0 of N staging, 98 cases in stage N1 and 12 cases in stage N2. There was no perioperative death. (2) Follow-up: 886 of 914 patients were followed up for 25 months (range, 1-129 months). During the follow-up, 24 patients had tumor recurrence or metastasis. The 5-year cumulative tumor recurrence rate of 914 patients was 4.8% and the median recurrence time was 17.0 months. Liver was the main site of tumor recurrence, accounting for 58.3%(14/24). The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate of 914 patients was 95.2%. The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 96.3% of 804 patients without lymph node metastasis, versus 86.6% of 110 patients with lymph node metastasis, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=6.83, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of influencing factors for lymph node metastasis: results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), preoperative CA19-9, tumor differentiation degree, submucosal infiltration depth, nerve vessel invasion were related factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer ( odds ratio=2.56, 3.25, 2.21, 2.68, 3.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.41-4.67, 1.22-8.66, 1.43-3.41, 1.56-4.88, 2.10-5.48, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative CEA ≥5 μg/L, preoperative CA19-9 ≥37 U/mL, poor differentiation or undifferentiation, submucosal infiltration depth ≥1 000 μm and nerve vessel invasion were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer ( odds ratio=2.23, 3.47, 2.01, 2.31, 2.91, 95% confidence interval as 1.02-4.15, 1.08-10.87, 1.03-3.27, 1.40-4.47, 1.64-5.13, P<0.05). (4) Development and internal validation of a nomogram predition model: based on results of multivariate Logistic analysis, a nomogram prediction model for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer was developed. The nomogram score was 59 for preoperative CEA >5 μg/L, 100 for preoperative CA19-9 ≥37 U/mL, 48 for poor differentiation or undifferentiation, 67 for submucosal infiltration depth ≥1 000 μm and 92 for nerve vessel invasion, respectively. The total of different scores for different clinicopathological factors corresponded to the probability of lymph node metastasis. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawed to evaluate the predictive performance of nomogram for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer, with the area under curve of 0.70(95% confidence interval as 0.64-0.75, P<0.05). The Bootstrap internal validation of predictive performance in the nomogram predition model showed a consistency index of 0.70 (95% confidence interval as 0.65-0.75). The calibration chart showed a good consistency between the probability predicted by the nomogram model and actual probability of lymph node metastasis. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a good fitting effect in model ( χ2=1.61, P>0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative CEA ≥5 μg/L, preoperative CA19-9 ≥37 U/mL, poor differentiation or undifferentiation, submucosal infiltration depth ≥ 1 000 μm and nerve vessel invasion are independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer. The constructed nomogram model can help predict the probability of lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer.
