Objective: To investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Yangzhou City, and its association with screen behaviors, so as to provide scientific evidence for weight management among students. Methods: In May 2025, an electronic questionnaire survey was conducted among children and adolescents in Yangzhou City. A total of 3 722 participants were selected from grades 4 to 12 in 18 primary and secondary schools (108 classes) by using stratified cluster random sampling. The Chi square test was used to compare the differences in the detection rates of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with 5 types of screen behaviors (watching TV, playing electronic games, scrolling short videos, screen based learning, electronic socializing) in different time groups each day (never, >0~<2 h, ≥2 h). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the associations of five types of screen behaviors, presence of electronic devices in the bedroom, and screen use during meals on the weight status of children and adolescents. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents was 37.3%. For all five types of screen behaviors, the differences in the distribution of overweight and obesity detection rates among children and adolescents across the three time spent categories were statistically significant ( χ 2=30.76- 70.78 , all P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that frequent or always using screens during meals( OR =1.63, 95％ CI =1.14~2.31), playing video games ( OR =1.28, 95% CI =1.11-1.48), browsing short videos ( OR =1.29, 95％ CI=1.09-1.54), and screen based learning ( OR =1.26, 95％ CI =1.10-1.44) were significantly associated with overweight and obesity among children and adolescents (all P <0.05). Conclusions Excessive screen use is positively correlated with the incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Targeted interventions on screen behaviors among children and adolescents are therefore warranted.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of vitamin A in the adjuvant treatment of bronchial asthma in children and its influence on serum transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), eosinophils (EOS) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) levels.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 110 children with bronchial asthma who received treatment in Department of Pediatrics, Xi'an Central Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. Based on the principle of balanced and comparable baseline characteristics between groups, they were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 55 cases in each group, using a random number table method. The control group was treated with routine pediatric bronchial asthma therapy, while the observation group was added with vitamin A adjuvant therapy on the basis of the control group. After 15 days of continuous treatment, the scores of asthma control condition (Childhood-Asthma Control Test (C-ACT), Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ)) in the two groups were evaluated. The pulmonary ventilation function (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV 1/FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF)), serum inflammatory factors (TGF-β1, EOS, IL-17) and immune function indicators (T helper 17 cell (Th17), T helper 2 cell (Th2), regulatory T cell (Treg) ) were compared between groups of children before treatment and after 15 days of treatment. Measurement data with normal or approximate distribution were expressed as xˉ± s, and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Enumeration data were expressed as percentage, and chi-square test was adopted for between-group comparison. Results:After 15 days of treatment, the C-ACT score with (16.20±3.14) points in observation group was higher than (14.80±2.62) points in control group while the ACQ score with (30.30±4.14) points was lower than (34.60±6.23) points in control group, with statistical differences between groups (t values were 2.54 and 4.26; P values were 0.012 and <0.001). The pulmonary ventilation function indicators in observation group and control group after 15 days of treatment (FEV 1: (1.76±0.34) L与(1.54±0.32) L, FEV 1/FVC:(76.89±5.76)%与(70.25±6.42)%, PEF(2.89±0.35) L/s与(2.68±0.39) L/s) were higher than those before treatment (FEV 1:(1.12±0.31) L与(1.20±0.33) L, FEV 1/FVC:(56.96±4.35)%与(58.12±3.48)%, PEF(2.15±0.66) L/s与(2.34±0.56) L/s), and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 10.32, 5.49, 20.48, 10.43, 7.35, 3.70, respectively; all P<0.001), and the indicators in observation group were higher compared to control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 3.49, 5.71, and 2.97; P values were 0.001, <0.001, and 0.004). After 15 days of treatment, the levels of serum inflammatory factors (TGF-β1:(6.32±1.36) ng/L与(8.75±1.81) ng/L, EOS:(3.56±0.65)%与(4.28±0.82)%, IL-17:(5.53±1.22) ng/L与(6.42±1.51) ng/L) and CD4 + T lymphocyte immune function indicators (Th17:(0.97±0.26) ng/L与(1.23±0.35) ng/L, Th2:(2.32±0.64) ng/L与(3.15±0.52) ng/L, Treg:(5.41±0.76) ng/L与(5.86±0.23) ng/L ) were lower in observation group and control group than those before treatment (TGF-β1: (14.35±2.23)与(15.26±3.05) ng/L, EOS: (6.32±1.33)%与(6.41±1.27)%, IL-17:(8.86±1.68)与(9.03±1.89) ng/L, Th17:(1.82±0.75)与(1.67±0.68) ng/L, Th2:(4.15±1.49)与(3.98±1.28) ng/L, Treg: (7.26±1.35)与(6.92±1.72) ng/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 22.80, 13.61, 13.83, 10.45, 11.90, 8.08, 7.94, 4.27, 8.37, 4.46, 8.86, 4.58, respectively; all P<0.001). However, the above indicators in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( t values were 7.96, 5.10, 3.40, 4.42, 7.47, 4.20, and P-values were <0.001, <0.001, 0.001, <0.001, <0.001, and <0.001 respectively). Conclusion:Vitamin A adjuvant therapy is helpful to the control of bronchial asthma, and it can effectively improve the pulmonary function, reduce the inflammatory reaction and enhance the body's immunity.

Objective To investigate the role of mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein(MAVS)in viral infection-triggered generalized pustular psoriasis(GPP)in children.Methods This retrospective case-control study enrolled 80 GPP patients aged 0～18 years from Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University(from October 2013 to April 2019).Whole-exome sequencing identified rare MAVS variants associated with GPP.Pathogenicity of variants was predicted using Mutation Taster,Disease Association,SIFT,and CADD bioinformatics tools.Sanger sequencing validated variants,followed by construction of wild-type(WT)and mutant MAVS expression plasmids transfected into HEK 293 cells.Protein expression was assessed by Western blot.Dual-luciferase reporter gene assays measured IFNB1 and NF-κB transcriptional activity.Genotype distribution of the MAVS c.171dupT/p.H57fs variant was analyzed using Fisher's exact test.Results This study enrolled 80 pediatric GPP patients(aged 0～18 years).Whole-exome sequencing identified five rare MAVS variants,with bioinformatics analyses predicting deleterious effects on protein stability and function.Western blot demonstrated that the c.171dupT mutation in GPP patients significantly reduced full-length MAVS expression(P<0.001);dual-luciferase assays further revealed this variant impaired MAVS-mediated IFNB1 transcriptional activation by 85%(P<0.001),abrogated NF-κB signaling pathway activation(P<0.001),but exhibited no dominant-negative effect on wild-type MAVS function(P>0.05).Conclusion The MAVS c.171dupT frameshift variant may contribute to infection-triggered GPP in children,suggesting its potential as a genetic biomarker for GPP susceptibility.

OBJECTIVE To clarify the hearing improvement and tympanic membrane healing of tympanoplasty in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media in the stationary phase with soft tissue shadow of mastoid bulla on mastoid CT,and to compare its hearing improvement and tympanic membrane healing with that of canal wall up mastoidectomy+tympanoplasty.METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of inpatient surgical cases diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media in the stationary phase with soft tissue shadow of mastoid bulla by preoperative mastoid CT at the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between September 2020 and April 2022.Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical procedure:Group A,tympanoplasty,including 23 cases of type Ⅰ tympanoplasty(A1)and 26 cases of type Ⅱ tympanoplasty with ossicular chain reconstruction(A2);Group B,canal wall up mastoidectomy+tympanoplasty,including 21 cases of canal wall up mastoidectomy with type Ⅰ tympanoplasty(B1)and 20 cases of canal wall up mastoidectomy with type Ⅱ tympanoplasty and ossicular chain reconstruction(B2).Each patient was followed up for one year postoperatively,and at approximately one year after the operation,otoscopy and pure-tone audiometry(PTA)and air-bone gap(ABG)measurements at four frequencies(500,1 000,2 000,and 4 000 Hz)were performed and compared to preoperative values.RESULTS The average PTA at 1 year postoperatively for group A(A1 and A2)and group B(B1 and B2)were(36.35±16.21)dB HL[(31.96±11.78)dB HL,(40.24±18.68)dB HL]and(35.85±12.19)dB HL[(40.24±18.68)dB HL,(39.69±13.69)dB HL],respectively.Compared with preoperative PTA,the difference was statistically significant with P<0.05.The average ABG at 1 year postoperatively for group A and group B were(16.07±6.69)dB HL[(15.16±5.48)dB HL,(16.88±7.63)dB HL]and(15.21±6.40)dB HL[(13.93±5.29)dB HL,(16.56±7.28)dB HL],respectively.Compared with preoperative ABG,the difference was statistically significant with P<0.05.There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative average PTA and ABG between group A and group B.There was no statistically significant difference in effective rate between group A and group B.The results of ear endoscopy at 1 year postoperatively showed that the tympanic membrane healed well in both group A and group B.CONCLUSION There is no significant difference in hearing improvement and tympanic membrane healing between the two surgical procedures of tympanoplasty and canal wall up mastoidectomy+tympanoplasty for patients with CSOM at rest with shadowing of the mastoid sinus on mastoid CT.In clinical work,patients with CSOM at rest who have soft tissue shadow in the mastoid sinus on mastoid CT can opt for simple tympanoplasty.

Objective To investigate the demand for postoperative follow-up care services among patients after outpatient surgery,to optimize the care service process,and to enhance the quality of outpatient care,so as to ensure timely and effective follow-up care after outpatient surgery and improve their satisfaction and rehabilitation outcomes.Methods A total of 156 patients who underwent outpatient surgical procedures at Navy 971 Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were enrolled as research subjects through convenient sampling.A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the general information of patients,their demand for postoperative follow-up care,and the recognition of follow-up care forms.The questionnaires were distributed and collected by professional personnel of the outpatient surgery room.The related service items of follow-up care were statistically analyzed using percentages and descriptive analysis.Results Of the 156 questionnaires distributed,all(100%)were returned and valid.Among the patients undergoing outpatient surgery,91.7%required follow-up care services.The follow-up care services with the highest demand among naval vessel personnel were self-observation and care guidance for wounds(90.4%),seeking help for wound discomfort(86.5%),and postoperative follow-up and health education(75.6%).The most recognized forms of follow-up care services were telephone follow-up(88.5%),remote consultation(76.3%),and on-site visits by medical teams(62.2%).Conclusion There is a high demand for follow-up care services among patients after outpatient surgery.Hospitals should establish a complete follow-up care service model and care teams based on the actual needs of patients and the requirements of health education,and formulate personalized follow-up care plans.

Objective:To establish a prediction model for larger for gestational age(LGA)infants in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)in order to improve pregnancy outcomes.Methods:A retro-spective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 338 pregnant women with GDM who underwent routine prenatal examinations and were hospitalized for delivery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical Universi-ty from January 1,2018 to December 31,2023.Pregnant women with complete HbAlc data during pregnancy were divided into a training set of 241 cases and a validation set of 97 cases.Lasso and Logistic regression analysis and variable screening combined with previous clinical experience were used to construct a nomogram model,and its degree of differentiation and calibration were evaluated.Result:①By Lasso regression analysis,age,family histo-ry of type 2 diabetes,body mass index(BMI),gestational weight gain(GWG),fasting blood glucose(FBG),postprandial 1-hour blood glucose(1h PBG),HbAlc,free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4)and insulin treatment were important predictors of LGA.②Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that GWG and HbAlc were independent risk factors for LGA in pregnant women with GDM(OR＞1,P＜0.05).③Combined with Lasso and Logistic regression analysis,previous literature reports and clinical experience,BMI,GWG,FBG,1h PBG,HbAlc and FT3 were selected as independent variables,and LGA as dependent variable.A nomogram pre-diction model was constructed in the training set,and the C-index of 0.71.ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC values of the training set and the validation set were 0.709 and 0.700,respectively,and the discriminative a-bility of the model was acceptable.The calibration curve of the model was close to the ideal curve,and the clinical decision curve suggested that the model showed a positive net benefit at the threshold of 10％to 50％.Conclu-sion:The predictive model has certain value in predicting the occurrence of LGA in pregnant women with GDM,and provides help for early diagnosis,treatment and clinical intervention of GDM and its complications,in order to improve perinatal and long-term adverse outcomes.
