Objective: To investigate the association of physical activity and screen time with overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with special needs in Tianjin, so as to provide scientific evidence for childhood obesity prevention and intervention measures in the population. Methods: From January 2022 to June 2024, 296 children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders aged 2-18 years were recruited from special education schools and institutions in Tianjin. Height and weight were measured, and a standardized questionnaire was used to assess physical activity and screen time. Binary Logistic regression analysis was carried out to investigate the association of physical activity and screen time with overweight and obesity. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with special needs in Tianjin were 17.2% and 21.6%, respectively, and the combined prevalence of overweight and obesity was 38.9%. The median of moderatetovigorous physical activity (MVPA) time was 0.20 h/d, and physical activity sufficiency rate was 7.8%. The median of screen time was 1.79 h/d, and the screen time compliance rate was 68.2%. The binary Logistic regression results showed that lower levels of MVPA time and increased screen time were associated with a higher risk of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with special needs [OR(95%CI)=1.80(1.06-3.07), 2.40(1.42-4.07),P<0.05]. Conclusions Insufficient physical activity and excessive screen time are associated with an increased risk of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with special needs. Therefore, comprehensive intervention measures should be implemented as early as possible to prevent and reduce the incidence of overweight and obesity in this population.

Objective: To understand the current situation and related factors of screening myopia among students in special education schools, so as to provide evidence for promoting the health level of this population. Methods: From November 2021 to December 2023, a total of 281 students from 6 special education schools in 5 districts of Tianjin were selected by cluster random sampling method for computer optometry visual acuity examination for non ciliary paralysis and questionnaire survey. Multiple Logistic regression was performed to analyze the influencing factors of screening myopia among special education students. Results: The screening myopia detection rate among these special education students in Tianjin was 27.0%, and the screening myopia detection rates of students with autism, developmental delays, and intellectual disabilities were 22.4%, 12.5%, and 33.0%, respectively. The degree of myopia increased with age ( χ 2 trend =22.65, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age(10-13 years old: OR =5.40, 14-17 years old: OR =8.40, 18-23 years old: OR =6.02), accommodation(non resident: OR =0.29), daily mobile phone usage ≥2 hours ( OR =2.37), and daily computer/tablet usage ≥2 hours ( OR =2.70) were the risk factors for screening myopia among special education students ( P <0.05). Conclusions The detection rate and degree of screening myopia increase with age in special education students. Prolonged screen time exposure is a primary risk factor for screening myopia in special education students. Effective myopia prevention and control strategies should be designed according to the characteristics of special education students.

Guided by molecular networking, nine novel curvularin derivatives (1-9) and 16 known analogs (10-25) were isolated from the hydrothermal vent sediment fungus Penicillium sp. HL-50. Notably, compounds 5-7 represented a hybrid of curvularin and purine. The structures and absolute configurations of compounds 1-9 were elucidated via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, ¹³C NMR calculation, modified Mosher's method, and chemical derivatization. Investigation of anti-inflammatory activities revealed that compounds 7-9, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 18 exhibited significant suppressive effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 0.44 to 4.40 μmol·L^-1. Furthermore, these bioactive compounds were found to suppress the expression of inflammation-related proteins, including inducible NO synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), NLR family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Additional studies demonstrated that the novel compound 7 possessed potent anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the transcription of inflammation-related genes, downregulating the expression of inflammation-related proteins, and inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines, indicating its potential application in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

The special operational environment of the military is likely to cause sunburn among troops.Through literature review and retrieval of information,the current methods for sunburn protection and support capacity of foreign armies were surveyed,involving ideas about of protection,major concerns and advantages so as to provide reference for generating and improving the ability of China's military to protect against sunburn.Foreign armies have attached importance to sunburn protection in special operating environments.China is to learn from the experience of foreign countries,make the troops better-informed of sunburn protection,improve the accessibility of the ready-made products for sunburn protection among the troops,and promote the research and development of sunscreen equipment and preparations for troops operating in extreme special environments.

Objective To study anatomical structures of the maxillary second molars(MSM)roots and canals and the relationship between root apices and the maxillary sinus.Methods Cone beam computed tomography imaging data of 526 MSM from 263 patients were evaluated retrospectively.The patient age,number of roots and canals,number of fused roots,type of root canal curvature,and anatomical relationship to the sinus floor were all documented and analyzed.Results It was found that the majority of MSM had three roots(59.1%),and the incidence of three root canals with three roots was the highest(47.3%).Fused roots were found in 192(36.5%)of the teeth examined.Palatal root canals of two-root,two-canal,and three-root,three-canal teeth had more curvature in the buccolingual direction than in the mesiodistal direction.The mesial buccal roots of MSM with three roots tended to extend into the max-illary sinus and the palatine roots of the three-rooted MSM tended to separate from the maxillary sinus.The distance between MSM and the sinus floor increased with age(P＜0.05).Conclusion The root and canal shape of MSM varies widely among a sample of individu-als.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of eosinophilic vacuolated tumor (EVT).Methods:Seven cases of EVT with characteristic morphology and unequivocal diagnosis from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (6 cases), Qingdao, China and the 971 Hospital of PLA Navy (1 case), Qingdao, China between January 2010 and December 2021 were subject to morphological and immunohistochemical analyses. Additionally, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in two cases. Twenty-two cases of renal oncocytoma (RO) and 17 cases of eosinophilic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (eChRCC) diagnosed at the same time were used as controls.Results:Four males and three females with a mean age of 42 years (range: 29-61 years) were included in the study. The tumors were nodular and well-circumscribed, with sizes ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 cm. On cross-section, they appeared gray-red or gray-white, solid, and soft. Tumor cells were arranged in nests, solid sheets, and acinar or small vesicular structures. These cells exhibited eosinophilic cytoplasm with large, prominent clear vacuoles and round nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Perinuclear halos were focally present in four cases, while small tumor cells with sparse cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei were seen in one case. No necrosis or mitosis was noted. Edematous stroma was detected in three cases. All tumors were positive for CD117 and Cathepsin K, but negative for vimentin and CK7. CK20 was positive in scattered individual cells, and Ki-67 positivity ranged from 1% to 4%. Point mutations in MTOR were identified in both patients who were subject to the molecular analysis. Statistical differences in the expression of Cathepsin K, CD10, S-100A1, and Cyclin D1 between EVT and RO ( P<0.05) were significant, so were the differences in the expression of Cathepsin K, CD10, CK7 and claudin 7 between EVT and eChRCC ( P<0.001). Seven patients were followed up for 4 to 96 months (mean, 50 months), with no recurrences or metastases. Conclusions:EVT is a rare renal tumor that shares morphological and immunophenotypic features with RO and eChRCC, and it is closely linked to the TSC/MTOR pathway. The presence of large prominent transparent vacuoles in eosinophilic cytoplasm along with conspicuous nucleoli is its key morphological characteristics. The use of combined immunohistochemical stains greatly aids in its diagnosis. Typically, the tumor exhibits indolent biological behaviors with a favorable prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of canagliflozin combined with amiloride and benzamir on doxorubicin-induced ne-phrotic syndrome(NS)model rats.Methods A total of 49male SD rats were randomly divided into 7groups:normal control group(NG group),model group(MG group),canagliflozin group(KG group),benzamil group(BH group),amiloride group(AL group),cana-gliflozin+benzamil group(KB group)and canagliflozin+amiloride group(KA group),with 7 rats in each group.The NS model was established by injection of doxorubicin in the tail vein.The 24h-UTP of each group was detected one day before treatment to verify the successful preparation of the model.Each group was given intragastric administration according to the body weight of rats regularly every day,NG group and MG group were given equal amount of normal saline,the course of treatment was 6 weeks.After 6 weeks of treatment,the 24h-UTP,UNa,UK,UCl levels in urine and the albumin(ALB),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipopro-tein(LDL),Urea,Crea,CysC,SNa,SK,SCl levels in serum were measured,respectively.The expression of serum transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)and soluble thrombomodulin(sTM)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expression of TGF-β1 gene was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).The renal pathology of rats in each group were tested by the hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.Results After successful modeling,the levels of 24h-UTP,TG,TC,LDL in the MG group were increased,while the levels of ALB was decreased(P＜0.05).After 6 weeks of drug intervention,compared with MG group,the levels of 24h-UTP,TC,TG,LDL were decreased,and the level of ALB was increased in all drug groups(P＜0.05),and the level of TGF-β1 was decreased in the KG group(P＜0.05),and the levels of CysC,UNa,TGF-β1,sTM was increased in the KA group(P＜0.05).The results of HE staining and Masson staining showed that typical characteristics of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis appeared in the renal tissue of rats in MG group,all drug groups were observed in varying degrees of improvement.Conclusion Canagliflozin,benzamil,amiloride alone and canagliflozin combined with benzatrimil and amiloride could improve the macroproteinuria,hypoproteinemia and hyperlipidemia of doxorubicin-induced NS model rats.Canagli-flozin alone can effectively reduce TGF-β1 expression and thereby reduce kidney inflammation,but the combination of canagliflozin and amiloride may cause renal insufficiency and endothelial injury.

Objective To evaluate five types of DIC scoring systems based on sepsis patients,to explore the values of different DIC scoring systems in the occurrence and prognosis of DIC in sepsis patients,and to compare the applicability of different DIC scoring systems for sepsis complicated with DIC.Methods Laboratory indexes and clinical data from sepsis patients who had been hospitalized in Gansu Provincial People's Hospital from December 1,2019 to December 31,2021 were retrospectively analyzed within 24 hours.Five types of DIC scoring systems were used to score,and the difference of diagnostic rate and discharge outcome in sepsis patients with different severity was compared.The ROC curves of five DIC scoring systems were established to evaluate the accu-racy of DIC in sepsis patients.Results The fatality rate of sepsis increased with the severity of sepsis(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in discharge outcomes between DIC and non-DIC in the five scoring systems(P<0.05).JMHW,CDSS and part of ISTH were detected in JAAM cases,while ISTH was detected in non-dominant ISTH cases.ISTH,JAAM,JMHW,CDSS,and non-dominant ISTH5 scoring systems were used to diagnose DIC,and absence of full health restoration and death were 3.0,3.8,4.2,3.9,and 3.0 times higher than non-DIC cases,respectively.Conclusion JAAM scoring system has higher diagnostic rate and sensitivity for adult sepsis.CDSS and JMHW scoring systems are more accurate in predicting the prognosis of sepsis patients.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of cataracts, the surgical coverage, and postoperative visual acuity of adults in Ningxia.Methods:A cross-sectional study using multistage cluster random sampling was conducted.Ten survey sites in Ningxia were selected and the population aged 18 years and over was surveyed with questionnaire, height and weight measurements, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus photography and slit-lamp examinations.Cataract prevalence and its influencing factors were analyzed.Cataract prevalence, surgical coverage and presenting visual acuity (PVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after surgery were investigated in different age groups of the examined population.The study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of the People's Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (No.[2023]-LL-010).Participants signed informed consent prior to the examination.Results:A total of 6 145 people should be examined, and 5 721 people were actually examined, with an examination rate of 93.10%.The study population consisted of 2 558 males, accounting for 44.71%, and 3 163 females, accounting for 55.28%, with ages ranging from 18 to 93 years old and an average age of (64.27±13.48) years.Among them, 1 180 patients diagnosed with cataract, with a cataract prevalence of 20.62%.The prevalence of cataract increased with age and decreased with education level, showing statistically significant differences ( χ2=1 091.32, 581.92; both at P<0.01).The prevalence of cataract was significantly higher among people with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease than those without these diseases ( χ2=274.65, 118.15, 78.05, 182.71; all at P<0.01).Cataract surgery was performed in 245 cases in the cataract patient population, with a surgical coverage rate of 20.76%.Of the 245 cases, 229 cases were implanted with IOLs, with an implantation rate of 93.40%.The social burden rate of cataract blindness was 2.29%, and increased with age.Of the 339 eyes that underwent cataract surgery, 241 had a PVA≥0.3, accounting for 71.09%, and 272 had a BCVA≥0.3, accounting for 80.24%. Conclusions:In Ningxia, cataracts are still the main cause of vision impairment and blindness in the elderly, and the social burden rate of cataract blindness is high.Moreover, the coverage rate of cataract surgery is low, so both the coverage and quality of surgery need improvement.

Objective To compare pregnancy outcomes among pregnant women undergoing cervical polypectomy during different gestational periods.Methods A total of 125 pregnant women were diagnosed with cervical polyps and underwent surgical removal.These participants were divided into the natural pregnancy group(n=71)and the in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer group(IVF-ET group,n=54).Retrospective analysis was conducted on various clinical parameters including age,gestational times,delivery times,abortion times,history of adverse preg-nancy outcomes,history of endometrial polyps,pre-polyp removal vaginal bleeding episodes,gestational age at the time of polyp removal procedure,number of polyps detected during surgery,postoperative pathology results as well as pregnancy outcomes.Results Vaginal bleeding was the most common symptom of pregnancy combined with cer-vical polyps,accounting for 111 cases(88.8％)(62 cases in the natural pregnancy group(87.32％)and 49 ca-ses in the IVF-ET group(90.74％)).Some patients had increased vaginal discharge or were found during a gyne-cological exam,accounting for 11.2％of the patients.All patients underwent cervical polypectomy during pregnan-cy,except for 9 cases of continued pregnancy(4 cases in the natural pregnancy group and 5 cases in the IVF-ET group),of which 13 had miscarriage,10 had preterm birth(6 in the natural pregnancy group and 4 in the IVF group)and 93(54 cases in natural pregnancy group,39 cases in IVF group)(74.4％)delivered at full term.Postoperative pathology was mostly inflammatory polyps(105 cases,84％),deciduous polyps(20 cases,8％)(10 cases in the natural pregnancy group and 10 cases in the IVF-ET group,14.09％and 18.52％,respective-ly).The incidence of preoperative vaginal bleeding,decidual polyp,postoperative abortion,and postoperative pre-term birth in the IVF-ET group exhibited higher rates compared to those observed in the natural pregnancy group;however,these differences did not reach statistical significance.Conclusion The cervical polypectomy procedure was performed during pregnancy for both the natural conception group and the IVF-ET group,with no significant disparity observed in pregnancy outcomes between these two cohorts.
