Objective To investigate the prevalence of common diseases among primary and secondary school students in Yichang City from 2019 to 2022, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating effective intervention measures in the future. Methods By random cluster sampling , 7 schools in urban areas and 5 schools in suburban counties were selected to screen common diseases such as myopia, dental caries, obesity and abnormal spinal curvature. Descriptive epidemiological methods were employed for statistical analysis. Results A total of 17 023 primary and secondary school students were screened from 2019 to 2022. The overall detection rate of common diseases from high to low was myopia (54.12%), caries (36.75%), overweight (15.17%), obesity (11.88%), malnutrition (5.80%), and abnormal spinal curvature (3.49%). The detection rates of myopia and abnormal curvature of the spine showed an increasing trend with years and school stages, while the detection rates of malnutrition and dental caries showed a decreasing trend with years and school stages. The detection rates of overweight and obesity showed no trend difference with years, and the detection rates of obesity showed a decreasing trend with school stages. The rates of myopia, overweight and obesity were higher in urban areas than those in suburban counties, and the rate of dental caries was higher in suburban counties than that in urban areas. The prevalence of overweight, obesity, and malnutrition in boys was higher than that in girls. The prevalence of myopia and dental caries in girls was higher than that in boys. The above differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion Myopia, dental caries, obesity, and abnormal curvature of the spine are the current focus of the prevention and treatment of common diseases in students. There are great differences between different regions, school stages, and genders. The ^“tripartite linkage^” of schools, families, and communities should be achieved with the joint efforts of the education and health departments to actively take targeted intervention measures to reduce the prevalence.

This study was aimed at exploring the interaction between the nucleoprotein(NP)of influenza A virus(IAV)and TRIM25.The physicochemical properties and protein structure of IAV NP protein were analyzed through bioinformatics methods.The interaction between IAV NP and TRIM25 proteins was simulated with molecular docking techniques,and the in-teraction sites were predicted.With the cDNA of the A/Puerto Rico/8/1934(H1N1)PR8 strain as the template,the NP pro-tein was cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pCMV-C-Flag through PCR amplification,the eukaryotic expression re-combinant plasmid pCMV-Flag-NP was constructed,and the expression was further verified.The protein expression levels of pCMV-Flag-NP and pCMV-HA-TRIM25 were detected at various time periods.The interaction between NP protein and TRIM25 protein was verified by co-immunoprecipitation.The co-localization of NP protein and TRIM25 protein in cells was ob-served with laser confocal microscopy.Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the NP protein consists of 498 amino acids and 20 amino acids,and is an unstable hydrophilic protein.The NP protein has multiple phosphorylation sites,as well as N-glycosyla-tion and O-glycosylation sites,but no transmembrane domain or signal peptide domain.Additionally,the NP protein's second-ary structure consists of a high proportion of alpha-helices and random coils.The molecular docking prediction results indicated that IAV NP interacts with TRIM25 protein and has multiple potential interaction sites,including the 233rd alanine,234th ala-nine,236th lysine,and 440th alanine of the NP protein.After successfully constructing and expressing the IAV NP protein,we verified the interaction between IAV NP and TRIM25 protein by immunoprecipitation and laser confocal microscopy obser-vations.Our results together suggested that the structure of the IAV NP protein is closely related to its function,and its im-portance to the virus is clear.In addition,the interaction between IAV NP and TRIM25 protein may be associated with TRIM25's anti-influenza virus mechanism.Further in-depth research may provide new ideas for anti-influenza virus strategies.

Aim To evaluate the role of the glucose transporter protein 1(GLUT1)-dependent glycolytic in the attenuation of oxygen-glucose deprivation-reoxygen-ation(OGD/R)injury in HK-2 cells by dexmedetomi-dine(Dex).Methods C57/BL6 mice were random-ly divided into three groups(n=6),namely,sham operation group(Sham group),renal ischemia reper-fusion group(I/R group)and Dex group(I/R+Dex group).Serum creatinine(Cr)and urea nitrogen(BUN)were measured,while the levels of key glyco-lytic enzymes HK2,PFKFB3 and GLUT1 were meas-ured.HK-2 cells were cultured and randomised into seven groups(n=6),which was treated with OGD/R,overexpression or interference with GLUT1,Dex and glycolysis inhibitor 2-DG.CCK-8 and LDH activi-ty were used to detect cellular damage.Glycolysis lev-els were detected by lactate and ECAR.The inflamma-tory level was reflected by qRT-PCR for IL-6 and TNF-α.qRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to de-tect the levels of GLUT1,HK2,and PFKFB3.Results Dex significantly ameliorated kidney injury and HK-2 cell injury(P＜0.05).Dex inhibited the OGD/R-induced rise in lactate and extracellular acidification rate(ECAR),as evidenced by suppression of the ex-pression of GLUT1,HK2 and PFKFB3(P＜0.05).In vitro experiments showed that GLUT1 knockdown sig-nificantly improved OGD/R-induced cellular damage.Lactate,ECAR,glycolysis-related mRNAs and pro-teins were inhibited by GLUT1 knockdown(P＜0.05).Significantly,there were no significant differ-ences in above indexes after Dex treatment based on GLUT1 knockdown.Overexpression of GLUT1 abroga-ted the protective effects of Dex,while reversing the inhibitory effects of Dex on the expression of GLUT1,HK2,and PFKFB3(P＜0.05).Conclusions Dexmedetomidine attenuates OGD/R induced injury in HK-2 cells by inhibiting GLUT1-dependent glycolysis.

Purpose To characterize the clinicopathological features of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors(GMTs)resected via endoscopic techniques.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 495 cases of endo-scopically resected GMTs.Clinical information,histomorphological findings,immunohistochemical profiles,and mo-lecular characteristics were reviewed.Results The cohort included 495 patients aged 20-78 years(median:53 years).The majority of tumors were located in the stomach(58.8％)and esophagus(36.8％).Histologically,most tumors consisted of spindle cells,with a minority composed of epithelioid cells;fibrocollagenous or myxoid stroma was occasionally observed.Immunohistochemically,leiomyomas showed diffuse positivity for α-SMA(98.8％)and desmin(99.3％),gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs)expressed CD117(99.4％),DOG1(97.6％),and CD34(97.0％),and schwannomas were positive for S-100(93.7％).The predominant tumor types were leiomyomas(54.1％)and GISTs(33.7％),while the remaining 12.2％comprised other rare types.Various endoscopic resection techniques were employed based on the tumors' anatomical depth,including endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD,40.5％),submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection(STER,17.1％),endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR,16.5％),endoscopic full-thickness resection(EFTR,13.9％),and endoscopic submucosal excavation(ESE,12.0％).EMR and ESD were primarily used for superficial lesions,while deeper tumors with were more often treated with STER,EFTR,and ESE.The rate of negative resection margins was lower in GISTs(72.2％)and other tumors with indistinct margins,compared to leiomyomas(92.6％)and those with well-defined boundaries.Conclusion Leiomyomas and GISTs are the most common gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors resected via endoscopy.A variety of resection techniques are applicable depending on tumor location and depth.Accurate pathological diagnosis should be based on HE morphology,supplemented by endoscopic findings,margin status,immunohistochemistry,and necessary molecular tests.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of action of epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG)in the treatment of experimental metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis(MASH),and to provide a basis for clinical development and application.Methods A total of 32 experimental C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal diet group(Con group with 8 mice)and model group with 24 mice.The mice in the model group were given a high-trans fatty acid high-carbohydrate(HFHC)diet for 24 weeks to establish a model of MASH,and at the end of week 24,the mice in the model group were further divided into HFHC group,EGCG treatment group(100 mg·kg-1·d-1),and obeticholic acid treatment group(10 mg·kg-1·d-1),with 8 mice in each group.After 6 weeks of treatment,samples were collected to observe the general conditions of mice;the content of triglycerides(TG)and hydroxyproline in liver tissue and the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)were measured;HE staining,oil red O staining,and picrosirius red staining were used to observe liver histopathological changes.In the in vitro experiment,L02 cells were induced with free fatty acid(FFA)to establish a model of lipid deposition,and the cells were divided into Con group,FFA group,and EGCG group.The content of TG in cells was measured,as well as the results of oil red O staining and the relative mRNA expression levels of TNF-α,CCL2,and CXCL10.The transcriptomics technique was used to identify differentially expressed genes between the Con group,the HFHC group,and the EGCG group and perform the GSEA analysis,and pathways with a P-adjust value of<0.05 that were associated with MASH were further classified into metabolism-related pathways and inflammation-related pathways.The specific signaling pathways in each category were ranked based on the degree of enrichment,and key genes in the top three pathways were verified by PCR in vivo.Key genes in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway were verified by Western blotting.A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data with homogeneity of variance between multiple groups,and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups.Results Compared with the HFHC group,the EGCG group had significant reductions in the content of TG in liver tissue(P<0.05)and the serum levels of ALT and AST(P<0.05).Oil red O staining showed significant alleviation of hepatocyte fatty degeneration in the EGCG group,HE staining showed that EGCG effectively alleviated inflammation,and picrosirius red staining showed a significant reduction in the number of fibrous tissue after EGCG treatment.There was a significant reduction in the content of hydroxyproline in liver tissue after EGCG intervention(P<0.01).Cell experiments showed that compared with the FFA group,the EGCG group had a significant reduction in the content of TG,and oil red O staining showed the disappearance of lipid droplets in the EGCG group compared with the FFA group,with significant reductions in the relative mRNA expression levels of the inflammatory factors TNF-α,CCL2,and CXCL10(all P<0.01).The transcriptomics analysis identified 230 differentially expressed genes between the HFHC group and the EGCG group,among which there were 108 upregulated genes and 122 downregulated genes.EGCG significantly reduced the levels of the key proteins TLR4,NLRP3,and IL-1β in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway in liver tissue(all P<0.05).Conclusion EGCG can significantly alleviate lipid deposition,inflammation,and fibrosis in the mouse model of MASH and improve lipid deposition and inflammatory injury in L02 cells,possibly by regulating the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway.
