Objective To explore the role of resilience and stress in childhood maltreatment and adolescent depression and anxiety symptoms, and to provide a basis for adolescent psychological intervention. Methods From September to October 2022, a total of 11 217 students from four middle schools in Changsha were selected by multistage stratified sampling, and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Depression–Anxiety–Stress Scales and the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents were used to carry out online questionnaire survey. Results The detection rate of depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms in adolescent was 19.43% (2 179) and 28.7% (3 224). The direct effect of childhood maltreatment on depressive symptoms was significant (β =0.09), Childhood maltreatment is a negative prediction of resilience (β = -0.57) and a positive prediction of pressure (β =0.06); Resilience can negatively predict stress (β = -0.61) and depressive symptoms (β = -0.25) (all P values <0.001); The direct effect of childhood maltreatment on anxiety symptoms was significant (β =0.03), resilience negatively predicts anxiety symptoms (β = -0.08) (all P values <0.01). Resilience and stress have a partially mediating role between childhood maltreatment and depressive symptoms, the mediation effect value was 0.39, accounting for 81.25% of the total effect. The effect values of the three pathways accounted for 29.17%, 8.33% and 43.75% of the total effect, respectively. Resilience and stress have a partial mediating effect between childhood abuse and anxiety symptoms, and the mediating effect was 0.36, accounting for 92.31% of the total effect, and the effect values of the three pathways accounted for 12.82%, 10.26% and 69.23% of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion Childhood maltreatment could affect adolescents’ depression and anxiety through the chain mediating effect of resilience and stress.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of plasma von Willebrand factor antigen(VWF:Ag)and VWF activity(VWF:GPIbM)based on ABO blood group in the risk assessment of deep vein thrombosis(DVT).Methods:A total of 163 patients with DVT who sought medical treatment from March 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the case group,and 135 healthy volunteers during the same period were selected as the control group.The differences of ABO blood groups,plasma VWF:Ag and VWF:GPIbM levels between the two groups were compared.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to evaluate the clinical value of VWF testing in predicting DVT events.Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify risk factors for DVT.Results:The levels of plasma VWF:Ag and VWF:GPIbM in the DVT group were significantly higher than those in the control group both overall and across ABO blood type subgroups(P<0.01).Within the DVT group,the levels of plasma VWF:Ag and VWF:GPIbM in patients with non-O blood type were significantly higher than those with blood type O[VWF:Ag:219.74%±63.64%vs 162.21%±56.03%,P<0.01;VWF:GPIbM:228.10%(185.15%,249.10%)vs 148.25%(116.48%,225.48%),P<0.01].The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of VWF:Ag for predicting DVT events was 0.855,with a cut-off value of 142.4%,sensitivity of 82.2%and specificity of 72.6%;the AUC of VWF:GPIbM was 0.861,with a cut-off value of 141.2%,sensitivity of 84.7%,and specificity of 71.1%.Univariate analysis showed that both VWF:Ag and VWF:GPIbM were influencing factors for DVT events(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that VWF:Ag>142.4%(OR=13.961,95%CI:7.654-25.464,P<0.01)and VWF:GPIbM>141.2%(OR=17.615,95%CI:9.155-33.892,P<0.01)were independent risk factors for DVT events.Conclusion:Levels of VWF:Ag and VWF:GPIbM are significantly elevated in non-O blood type DVT patients.VWF:Ag>142.4%and VWF:GPIbM>141.2%are independent risk factors for DVT events.VWF testing based on ABO blood group aids in the precision prevention and control of DVT.

The health and well-being of the elderly have become a focal point for all sectors of society. As an effective means of preventing and controlling infectious diseases, vaccination plays a critical role in safeguarding human health. For older adults, timely and scientifically guided vaccination can significantly reduce the risk of serious illnesses while alleviating the associated economic burdens and pressure imposed on society. However, in practice, deficiencies in policy support, accessibility of vaccination services, and public awareness hinder some elderly individuals from fully benefiting from the protective effects of vaccines. This paper analyzes current vaccination practices for the elderly globally and proposes strategies to improve vaccination coverage, providing a scientific basis for advancing effective vaccination initiatives for this demographic in China.

Vaccination has become one of the key public health interventions for reducing child mortality. With the implementation of the expanded programme on immunization, the number of vaccine types children need to receive is increasing, necessitating further optimization of childhood immunization strategies. The World Health Organization recommends simultaneous vaccination as one of the core strategies for optimizing childhood immunization schedules. This article analyzes the current status, challenges, and prospects of simultaneous vaccination strategies for children in China, aiming to provide a scientific basis for promoting and implementing strategies for the simultaneous administration of multiple vaccines to children.

Combined vaccines can simplify the vaccination process, improve coverage rates, reduce the risk of adverse events following immunization, lower social costs, and improve the timeliness of childhood vaccination. This article focuses on multi-component vaccines based on the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis containing vaccine. Globally, multiple combined vaccines have been developed and marketed, but the development of combined vaccine is still in its infancy stage in China, with limited vaccine types and doses available. The research, development, and application of combined vaccines still face numerous challenges in China, including technical challenges in research and development, as well as insufficient motivation for research and development. Additionally, the high cost of existing combined vaccines, coupled with low public awareness and weak vaccination intentions, significantly hinders their widespread application, China should continue to rigorously implement the Vaccine Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, promote innovative development of combined vaccines, increase public awareness, strengthen child guardians' confidence in vaccination, and improve the accessibility and affordability of combined vaccines to protect public health across all life stages.

Background/Aims:
Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by hepatic steatosis. Ubiquitin-specific protease 29 (USP29) plays pivotal roles in hepatic ischemiareperfusion injury and hepatocellular carcinoma, but its role in MASLD remains unexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal the effects and underlying mechanisms of USP29 in MASLD progression.
Methods:
USP29 expression was assessed in liver samples from MASLD patients and mice. The role and molecular mechanism of USP29 in MASLD were assessed in high-fat diet-fed and high-fat/high-cholesterol diet-fed mice and palmitic acid and oleic acid treated hepatocytes.
Results:
USP29 protein levels were significantly reduced in mice and humans with MASLD. Hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis were significantly exacerbated by USP29 deletion and relieved by USP29 overexpression. Mechanistically, USP29 significantly activated the expression of genes related to fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) under metabolic stimulation, directly interacted with long-chain acyl-CoA synthase 5 (ACSL5) and repressed ACSL5 degradation by increasing ACSL5 K48-linked deubiquitination. Moreover, the effect of USP29 on hepatocyte lipid accumulation and MASLD was dependent on ACSL5.
Conclusions
USP29 functions as a novel negative regulator of MASLD by stabilizing ACSL5 to promote FAO. The activation of the USP29-ACSL5 axis may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for MASLD.
