Objective:
To evaluates the association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and offspring risk of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), providing theoretical evidence for early life MASLD prevention.
Methods:
An online search was conducted across ten databases (CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PROSPERO, PQDT Global, ScienceDirect) for research literature on the association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and the development of MASLD in offspring, with the search period spanning from January 2014 to December 2024. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed study quality. Statistical analysis was performed using R 4.3.3.
Results:
Ten studies involving 10 229 participants were included, comprising 4 cohort studies and 6 case control studies. Cohort studies showed that maternal overweight and obesity significantly increased offspring MASLD risk ( RR=1.59, 95%CI=1.06-2.39, P <0.05), with moderate heterogeneity ( I 2=56.9%, P =0.07). Case control studies indicated a positive association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and offspring risk of MASLD( OR=2.00, 95%CI=1.68-2.39, P < 0.05), with low heterogeneity ( I 2=48.8%, P =0.08).
Conclusions
Maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy positively correlates with offspring MASLD risk. Gestational weight management may reduce the risk.

Objective:
To explore the associations between caregivers nutrition literacy and pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), so as to provide scientific evidence for the key contents of family intervention measures.
Methods:
In September 2022, a study involving 1 609 thirdgrade students and their caregivers from six schools in Yinzhou, Haishu, and Zhenhai Districts of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, was conducted. Venous blood samples were collected to measure lipid profiles and investigate the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among the children. Family Food Environment Questionnaire was used to assess the nutrition literacy levels of the caregivers. Generalized linear regression analysis was employed to explore the correlation between caregivers nutrition literacy levels and the prevalence of NAFLD in children.
Results:
Among the surveyed students, 191 were in the NAFLD group, whereas 1 418 were in the nonNAFLD group. The median nutrition literacy score of caregivers in the NAFLD group and nonNAFLD group all were 11.00 (9.00,12.00), which was not significantly different (Z=-0.40, P=0.71). The generalized linear regression results revealed that the level of nutrition literacy of caregivers had no significant effect on childrens Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and Triglyceride-glucose-Waisttoheight ratio (TyG-WHtR) [β(95%CI) were 0.001(-0.005-0.006) and 0.000(-0.014-0.014), P>0.05].
Conclusions
The nutrition literacy level of caregivers has no significant correlation with the direct incidence of NAFLD in children. As for family intervention measures, it is necessary not only to improve the nutrition literacy level of caregivers but also to effectively apply nutritional knowledge in practice to optimize health management.

Immunization represents the most effective strategy for the prevention and control of diseases. Nevertheless, some people may still get infected and contract the disease even after being fully vaccinated, which is known as a "breakthrough case." The presence of breakthrough cases shows that although vaccines significantly lower the rates of disease and death, they do not entirely eliminate the risk of illness.Addressing breakthrough cases, comprehending their epidemiological characteristics, and identifying the associated factors carry substantial public health implications for vaccine development, the optimization of vaccination strategies, and the implementation of intervention efforts. This review aims to provide a scientific reference for enhancing the prevention and control of vaccine-preventable diseases by summarizing the definitions, epidemiological characteristics, and relevant factors related to breakthrough infection cases across various diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3 (C1QTNF3) in liver cancer tissue, its association with the clinicopathological features of patients, and its potential value in predicting the prognosis of liver cancer. MethodsRelated data were collected from TIMER, UALCAN, TNMplot, and GEO databases, and the bioinformatics methods were used to measure the expression level of C1QTNF3 in pan-cancer, normal tissue/liver cancer tissue, and cancerous tissue/paracancerous tissue. Cancerous and paracancerous tissue samples were collected from 90 patients with liver cancer, and related clinical data were collected, including age, sex, tumor diameter, and tumor number. The independent-samples t test or the paired t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.

ResultsThe bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression of C1QTNF3 was upregulated in various malignant tumors, especially in liver cancer tissue (P<0.001), and the expression level of C1QTNF3 in liver cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissue and paracancerous tissues (all P<0.01). The immunohistochemical staining results of 90 patients with liver cancer showed that C1QTNF3 was mainly expressed in cytoplasm, with a small amount in nucleus, and it had negative expression in paracancerous tissue and positive expression in liver cancer tissue. The positive expression rate and strong positive expression rate of C1QTNF3 protein in liver cancer tissue were significantly higher than those in paracancerous tissue (positive expression rate: 76.67% vs 33.33%, χ2=34.141, P<0.01; strong positive expression rate: 54.44% vs 5.56%, χ2=51.217, P<0.01). The liver cancer patients with a tumor diameter of ≥5 cm, an advanced stage, the presence of liver cirrhosis, negative HBsAg, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)≥50 U/L had a significantly higher strong positive expression rate of C1QTNF3 protein than those with a tumor diameter of <5 cm, an early stage, the absence of liver cirrhosis, positive HBsAg, and GGT<50 U/L (all P<0.05). The univariate Cox regression analysis showed that tumor diameter, recurrence, and C1QTNF3 expression were influencing factors for the prognosis of patients with liver cancer (all P<0.05), and the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the expression level of C1QTNF3 and recurrence were independent risk factors for the survival of patients with liver cancer (both P<0.05). The survival curve analysis showed that for all patients with liver cancer, the patients with high (strong positive) expression of C1QTNF3 had significantly lower overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate than those with low expression (χ2=17.010 and 13.647, both P<0.001); for liver cancer patients with a tumor diameter of ≥5 cm, an early/advanced stage, recurrence, the presence of liver cirrhosis, positive HBsAg, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <40 U/L, ALT≥40 U/L, and GGT≥50 U/L, the patients with high expression of C1QTNF3 had a significant reduction in overall survival rate (χ2=11.086, 5.578, 5.295, 19.159, 16.391, 13.774, 10.119, 8.152, and 12.035, all P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that C1QTNF3 expression had the strongest predictive potential at 5 years, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.77. ConclusionC1QTNF3 is highly expressed in liver cancer tissue, and the expression level of C1QTNF3 and recurrence are closely associated with the survival of patients with liver cancer. Patients with high expression of C1QTNF3 protein tend to have a lower survival rate.
