Establishing a three-generation family cohort enables the investigation of the effects of genetic, epigenetic, lifestyle, and parenting factors in the grandparental (F0) and parental (F1) generations on the growth, development, and disease onset and progression of the offspring (F2). It facilitates further exploration of the biological mechanisms underlying the impact of intergenerational factors on the health of the offspring (F2), providing evidence for the formulation of public health policies and measures related to child health management and infant and young child care. Currently, the development of multi-generational cohorts in China remains in a preliminary stage, with no systematic multi-generational research framework yet established. Drawing on prior evidence-based scientific research, existing cohort studies, and the practical experience of multidisciplinary experts in maternal and child health, this consensus defines the scope of three-generation family cohorts regarding their definition, significance, key technologies, and application scenarios. It provides technical recommendations for establishing relevant cohorts, aiming to support research areas such as the intergenerational transmission of childhood diseases, the maternal intrauterine environment, and the tracing of family rearing environments. This will facilitate the early prevention and control of diseases manifesting in childhood and adulthood, ultimately promoting the comprehensive and healthy development of children.

: To analyze the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency among primary and secondary school students in Rural Nutrition Improvement Program areas of Guizhou Province in 2023, and to explore the related factors, so as to provide evidence for Rural Nutrition Improvement Program optimization. Methods: In September 2023, a stratified random cluster sampling strategy was used to select 40 rural compulsory education schools with rural nutrition improvement program in five counties of Guizhou Province. School level questionnaire was employed to collect information of basic characteristics and school meal implementation. A total of 7 826 primary and secondary school students aged 6-16 underwent anthropometry and hemoglobin (Hb) determination; serum ferritin (SF) was additionally measured in a random subsample of 1 795 pupils. Students in Grade 3 and above also completed a questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, dietary behaviours and nutrition knowledge. Group comparisons were conducted by Chi square test or Fisher s exact test, and multivariable Logistic regression models were constructed to identify factors associated with anemia and iron deficiency. Results: The overall Hb level was (133.21±12.95)g/L, with an anemia prevalence of 7.17%. The overall SF level was (69.58±59.01)μg/L, with an iron deficiency prevalence of 2.73%. Multivariable analysis showed that stunting ( OR =1.88), school menus without nutrient calculation ( OR =1.61) and absence of menu planning software in the current semester ( OR =2.34) independently increased anemia risk, whereas obesity reduced it ( OR =0.54) (all P <0.05). Girls ( OR =4.16) and Grades 7-9 ( OR =5.93) increased iron deficiency risk (both P <0.05). Compared with rarely eating fresh vegetables, students with consuming <3 kinds per day ( OR =0.08) or exactly 3 kinds per day ( OR =0.06) had lower iron deficiency risks (both P <0.05). Conclusions Anemia and iron deficiency are prevalent among primary and secondary school students in Guizhou. Targeted intervention measures should be implemented for key populations to enhance the effectiveness of nutrition improvement program.

Autoimmune hepatitis （AIH） is an immune-mediated chronic liver inflammatory disease with unknown pathogenesis， and intestinal barrier dysfunction is considered an important factor. Meanwhile， there are sex and age differences in the incidence rate of AIH， suggesting that hormone may be involved in regulation. On this basis， this article focuses on the association between estrogen， intestinal barrier， and immune homeostasis， systematically reviews the evidence that estrogen deficiency disrupts intestinal barrier homeostasis， and further summarizes the potential mechanism of estrogen in regulating the development and progression of AIH via intestinal barrier.

AIM: To analyze the relationship between obesity-related indicators, blood lipid levels and primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)and explore its risk factors. METHODS:Patients with POAG treated in the hospital from March 2022 to March 2024 were selected as the POAG group, and healthy people in the same period were selected as the non-POAG group. The obesity related indicators [body mass index(BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio], blood lipid levels [serum total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein(LDL-C)] and general clinical data of the two groups were compared. The binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the occurrence of POAG, and the ROC curve was established to analyze the efficiency of various variables in predicting the occurrence of POAG.RESULTS:A total of 54 POAG patients and 54 non-POAG subjects were included. The POAG group had a mean age of 50.30±5.73 y(29 males, 25 females), and the non-POAG group had a mean age of 50.28±5.72 y(28 males, 26 females).The BMI, intraocular pressure, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and TG levels in the POAG group were higher than those in the non-POAG group, while the HDL-C level was lower than that in the non-POAG group(all P<0.001). High BMI, high waist circumference, high waist-to-hip ratio, and high TG were identified as risk factors for POAG(all P<0.05), whereas high HDL-C was a protective factor(P<0.05).The AUCs for BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, TG, HDL-C, and the combined prediction were 0.885, 0.873, 0.707, 0.777, 0.664, and 0.974, respectively; the sensitivities were 0.815, 0.833, 0.730, 0.637, 0.663, and 0.944, respectively; and the specificities were 0.852, 0.759, 0.711, 0.789, 0.752, and 0.889, respectively. These results indicate that the combined multi-index prediction had the best performance, with good sensitivity and specificity.CONCLUSION:Obesity-related indicators such as high BMI, high waist circumference, high waist-to-hip ratio, and dyslipidemia(high TG, low HDL-C)are associated risk factors for POAG. The combined multi-index prediction model including BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, TG, and HDL-C demonstrates the best performance in POAG risk assessment, with both high sensitivity and specificity, providing a scientific basis for early clinical screening and intervention.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for plastic bronchitis （PB） in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia （MPP） and to construct a predictive model. MethodsPropensity score matching （1∶4 nearest neighbor matching） was used to balance baseline data between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors. Various machine learning algorithms were applied to build predictive models， and model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves， decision curves， and calibration curves. SHapley Additive exPlanations （SHAP） method was used for model interpretation. ResultsAfter matching， baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. Compared with the non-PB group， the PB group had significantly longer fever duration， higher incidence of pleural effusion and right upper lobe involvement， and higher levels of procalcitonin （PCT）， D-dimer， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， immunoglobulin E （IgE）， and red blood cell count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） （all P<0.05）， while lymphocyte and eosinophil counts in blood were significantly lower （P<0.05）. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that PCT>0.207 μg/L， LDH>386.25 U/L， right upper lobe involvement， and red blood cell count in BALF>1 500×10⁶ were independent risk factors. Among machine learning models， the gradient boosting machine （GBM） model achieved an area under the curve of 0.786 in the validation set， demonstrating the best generalization ability. SHAP analysis validated the importance of the above variables. ConclusionThe four indicators above have independent predictive value for PB occurrence， and the GBM model shows certain clinical risk stratification capability.

Objective: To analyze the trends in mortality and life lost among residents in Jinshan District, Shanghai Municipality from 2003 to 2023, so as to provide the evidence for developing injury prevention and control strategies and optimizing public health resource allocation. Methods: Data on injury mortality in Jinshan District from 2003 to 2023 were collected through Jinshan District Death Cause Registration System. Crude mortality was calculated, and standardized by the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. Potential years of life lost (PYLL), potential years of life lost rate (PYLLR), and average years of life lost (AYLL) were used to analyze life loss. Annual percent change (APC) was used to analyze the trends of injury mortality and life lost Results: From 2003 to 2023, the standardized mortality of injury in the total population, males, and females in Jinshan District were 34.39/105, 43.01/105, and 25.52/105, respectively, showing downward trends (APC=-3.270%, -3.913%, and -2.108%, all P<0.05). The standardized mortality of injury in males was higher than that in females (P<0.05). The crude mortalities of injury in age groups of 0-<15, 15-<30, 30-<45, 45-<60, and ≥60 years were 8.45/105, 16.94/105, 23.59/105, 39.05/105, and 127.70/105, respectively, showing an upward trend with increasing age (P<0.05). From 2003 to 2023, except for the ≥60 years group, the crude mortalities of injury in other age groups showed downward trends (APC=-6.539%, -4.426%, -7.846%, and -5.185%, all P<0.05). From 2003 to 2023, the top two causes of injury death in the total population were traffic accidents and falls, with crude mortalities of 17.88/105 and 15.81/105, respectively. Among them, the crude mortality of traffic accidents showed a downward trend (APC=-4.478%, P<0.05), while the crude mortality of falls showed an upward trend (APC=5.467%, P<0.05). From 2003 to 2023, PYLL, PYLLR, and AYLL of injury in the total population showed downward trends (APC=-6.685%, -6.710%, and -7.225%, all P<0.05). Conclusions From 2003 to 2023, the injury mortality and life lost in Jinshan District showed downward trends. Males and the elderly are the key populations for prevention and control, and falls are the key cause of death for prevention and control.

GPR126, also known as ADGRG6, is one of the most deeply studied aGPCRs. Initially, GPR126 was thought to be a receptor associated with muscle development and was primarily expressed in the muscular and skeletal systems. With the deepening of research, it was found that GPR126 is expressed in multiple mammalian tissues and organs, and is involved in many biological processes such as embryonic development, nervous system development, and extracellular matrix interactions. Compared with other aGPCRs proteins, GPR126 has a longer N-terminal domain, which can bind to ligands one-to-one and one-to-many. Its N-terminus contains five domains, a CUB (complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1) domain, a PTX (Pentraxin) domain, a SEA (Sperm protein, Enterokinase, and Agrin) domain, a hormone binding (HormR) domain, and a conserved GAIN domain. The GAIN domain has a self-shearing function, which is essential for the maturation, stability, transport and function of aGPCRs. Different SEA domains constitute different GPR126 isomers, which can regulate the activation and closure of downstream signaling pathways through conformational changes. GPR126 has a typical aGPCRs seven-transmembrane helical structure, which can be coupled to Gs and Gi, causing cAMP to up- or down-regulation, mediating transmembrane signaling and participating in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. GPR126 is activated in a tethered-stalk peptide agonism or orthosteric agonism, which is mainly manifested by self-proteolysis or conformational changes in the GAIN domain, which mediates the rapid activation or closure of downstream pathways by tethered agonists. In addition to the tethered short stem peptide activation mode, GPR126 also has another allosteric agonism or tunable agonism mode, which is specifically expressed as the GAIN domain does not have self-shearing function in the physiological state, NTF and CTF always maintain the binding state, and the NTF binds to the ligand to cause conformational changes of the receptor, which somehow transmits signals to the GAIN domain in a spatial structure. The GAIN domain can cause the 7TM domain to produce an activated or inhibited signal for signal transduction, For example, type IV collagen interacts with the CUB and PTX domains of GPR126 to activate GPR126 downstream signal transduction. GPR126 has homology of 51.6%-86.9% among different species, with 10 conserved regions between different species, which can be traced back to the oldest metazoans as well as unicellular animals.In terms of diseases, GPR126 dysfunction involves the pathological process of bone, myelin, embryo and other related diseases, and is also closely related to the occurrence and development of malignant tumors such as breast cancer and colon cancer. However, the biological function of GPR126 in various diseases and its potential as a therapeutic target still needs further research. This paper focuses on the structure, interspecies differences and conservatism, signal transduction and biological functions of GPR126, which provides ideas and references for future research on GPR126.

As a complex autoimmune disease， rheumatoid arthritis （RA） involves immune microenvironment dysregulation resulting from excessive activation of pyroptosis， which is a crucial factor in disease progression. Based on the theory of ying-wei in traditional Chinese medicine， "ying decline and wei attack" is considered the fundamental pathogenesis of RA. Pyroptosis serves as a microscopic manifestation of this concept， suggesting a potential correlation between "ying decline and wei attack" and pyroptosis nd immune microenvironment dysregulation in RA. Accordingly， treatment principles based on this theory are proposed： in the early stage of the disease， boosting wei to consolidate the exterior， and regulating ying to dispel pathogens； in the middle and late stages， harmonizing ying to remove stagnation， and nourishing its transformational source.

BACKGROUND:Spleen has the functions of blood storage,hematopoiesis,and immunity.With the increase of age,the structural degeneration and functional decline of spleen lead to the impairment of immune system function,thus accelerating the aging process of the body.The treatment of spleen aging in tree shrews with highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells has not been reported. OBJECTIVE:To explore the intervention effect and mechanism of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on spleen aging in tree shrews. METHODS:Highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were isolated,cultured,and obtained from the umbilical cord tissue of newborn tree shrews by caesarean section.The differentiation abilities of adipogenesis,osteogenesis,and chondrogenesis were detected by three-line differentiation kit.Cell cycle and surface markers were detected by flow cytometry.The second generation of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were transfected with Genechem Green Fluorescent Protein with infection complex values of 100,120,140,160,180,and 200,respectively,to screen the best transfection conditions.After transfection,the fourth generation of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was injected into the tail vein of tree shrews in the elderly treatment group.The young control group and the aged model group were not given special treatment.After 4 months of treatment,the spleen tissue was taken and the structure of the spleen was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.β-Galactosidase staining was used to detect the activity of aging-related galactosidase.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression levels of p21 and p53 proteins.Ki67 and PCNA immunofluorescence staining was used to detect cell proliferation activity.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression levels of spleen autophagy protein molecules Beclin 1 and APG5L/ATG5.Reactive oxygen species fluorescence staining was used to detect the content of reactive oxygen species in spleen tissue.CD3 immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the change of the proportion of total T lymphocytes.The secretion levels of interleukin 1β and transforming growth factor β1 in spleen were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The distribution of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells labeled with green fluorescent protein in spleen tissue was observed by DAPI double staining of nucleus. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells grew in a short spindle shape with fish-like growth,with a large proportion of G0/G1 phase,and had the potential to differentiate into adipogenesis,osteogenesis,and chondrogenesis.(2)Multiplicity of infection=140 and transfection for 72 hours were the best conditions for labeling tree shrews highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with Genechem Green Fluorescent Protein.(3)Compared with the aged model group,in the aged treatment group,the spleen tissue cells of tree shrews were arranged closely,and the area of white pulp was increased(P<0.01);the boundary between red pulp and white pulp was clear;the proportion of germinal centers did not show statistically significant difference(P>0.05).The activity level of galactosidase related to spleen tissue aging was decreased(P<0.001),and the expression levels of aging protein molecules p21 and p53 were down-regulated(P<0.001).The expression levels of proliferation-related molecules Ki67 and PCNA were up-regulated(P<0.001,P<0.05);expression levels of autophagy-related molecules Beclin 1 and APG5L/ATG5 were up-regulated(P<0.001),and the content of reactive oxygen species decreased(P<0.001),and the proportion of CD3+T cells increased(P<0.05).The secretion level of interleukin 1β in the aging-related secretion phenotype decreased(P<0.001);no significant difference was found in transforming growth factor β1 level(P>0.05).Compared with the young control group,the above indexes were significantly different in the elderly treatment group(P<0.05).(4)Green fluorescent cells labeled with green fluorescent protein were observed in spleen tissue of tree shrews the elderly treatment group by frozen tissue section observation.The results show that intravenous infusion of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can migrate to spleen tissue,inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species,down-regulate the expression of aging-related proteins,induce autophagy,promote cell proliferation,reduce chronic inflammation,and then improve the structure and function of spleen tissue.

Objective: To grasp the distribution characteristics and incidence trend of varicella in Shaanxi Province, so as to provide a reference for scientific and accurate prevention and control strategies. Methods: Data of 161 377 varicella cases in Shaanxi Province from 2016 to 2023 were collected and described from Surveillance Report Management System, a subsystem of National Disease Control and Prevention Information Systems of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. FlexScan 3.1.2 software was used to determine irregular spatial clustering, and spatial clustering area was detected for each year. Results: The incidence of varicella in Shaanxi Province showed a seasonal bimodal distribution with peaks from April to July (36.68%) and from October to next January (48.07%). The cases were mainly concentrated in the 3-12 years old group (60.50%), and there was a trend of high incidence age shift within the 0-19 age group from 2021. Most of the cases were students (62.40%) and preschool children ( 17.78 %). The outbreaks mainly occurred in primary schools (76.47%). The regional distribution was mainly concentrated in some areas of southern Shaanxi and Guanzhong. Through spatial analysis, the primary clusters were primarily concentrated in Ankang and Hanzhong cities in southern Shaanxi from 2016 to 2023, and the secondary clusters were mainly found in some areas of Guanzhong (Xi an, Baoji and Weinan cities). Conclusions Prevention and control of varicella should be focused on students and kindergartens aged 3-12 years in southern and Guanzhong areas of Shaanxi Province. Continuous varicella surveillance and vaccination measures should be carried out, and the two dose vaccination strategy and intensive vaccination of key groups should be actively promoted.
