Objective: To analyze the relationship of gross motor skills and perceptual motor abilities with physical activity levels in preschool children in a Beijing kindergarten, so as to provide a reference for promoting the development of motor competence. Methods: From September 2018 to March 2021, preschoolers aged 4-5 years were selected using convenience sampling method from an urban kindergarten in Beijing. The Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Version(TGMD-3) was used to assess basic preschoolers s gross motor skills ( n =152). The Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence(PMSC) was used to evaluate perceptual motor skills ( n =151). Accelerometers (Actigraph GT3X) were used to record physical activity levels ( n =52). Data were analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: The mean scores for gross motor skills and perceptual motor abilities were (38.76±13.48) and (35.49±6.50), respectively. The moderate to vigorous physical activity(MVPA) level was(52.60±27.44) minutes per day. No statistically significant correlations were found between gross motor skills, perceptual motor abilities MVPA among boys, girls or the overall group ( r =-0.20 to 0.25, all P >0.05). However, Boys locomotor skills, overall children s locomotor skills, and boys gross motor skills were all positively correlated with MVPA( r =0.34-0.45, all P <0.05). Conclusion There is a correlation between locomotor skills and physical activity levels in 4 to 5-year-old children.

Objective:To investigate the sleep characteristics and executive function development in children aged 6-12 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD),and to examine the relationship between them.Methods:A total of 112 children diagnosed with ADHD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ),and 45 age-and gender-matched typically developing children were recruited.Sleep characteristics were assessed with the Chinese version of Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire(CSHQ)and ActiGraph GT9X Link Three-axis acceleration body dynamometert.Core ADHD symptoms and multi-ple dimensions of executive function were evaluated withthe Swanson,Nolan,and Pelham scale,Fourth Edition(SNAP-Ⅳ)assessment scale,Stroop Color-Word Test(SCWT),Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test(ROCFT),and Trail Making Test(TMT).Results:Compared with controls,children with ADHD showed significantly higher total CSHQ scores,sleep resistance,sleep anxiety,and sleep maintenance time(P＜0.05),and had significantly lower sleep efficiencies measured by ActiGraph GT9X Link(P＜0.05).In the SCWT,children with ADHD re-quired more time in the word interference and color interference tests(P＜0.05).In the ROCFT,the scores of im-mediate details,delayed details,immediate structure,and delayed structure were lower in the children with ADHD(P＜0.05).In the TMT,the number of errors in the digit connection and the time and number of errors in the digit-letter connection were higher in the children with ADHD(P＜0.05).The total CSHQ scores of ADHD children were negatively correlated with the working memory scores and positively correlated with the core symptom scores.Conclusion:Children with ADHD exhibit notable sleep disturbance and underdeveloped executive func-tion.the sleep problems,as measured by CSHQ are associated significantly with deficits in executive function.

Objective:To translate the quality of life tool for patients with aplastic anaemia and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (QLQ-AA/PNH) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:According to the scale translation principle, the Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH was formed through translation, back translation and cross-cultural adaptation. A cross-sectional survey method was used to conveniently select 58 patients with aplastic anemia who were treated in the hematology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 2018 to September 2023 for investigation, and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH retains 36 items, and 5 common factors (psychological status dimension, life burden dimension, physical condition dimension, illness anxiety dimension and other symptom dimension) were extracted through exploratory factor analysis. The cumulative variance contribution rate reached 71.33%, and the factor load of each entry was greater than 0.5 on corresponding common factors. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale as a whole was 0.971, the broken half reliability coefficient was 0.985, the Cronbach α coefficient of each common factor was 0.637 to 0.954, and the broken half reliability coefficient was 0.637 to 0.930. Conclusions:The Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH has been proved to be valid and reliable. It is a valuable tool for evaluating the quality of life among patients with aplastic anaemia.

Objective To explore the effect of aerobic calisthenics on sleep quality in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods Forty children with ADHD(aged 9～11 years;mean age 9.83±0.76 years)were recruited from the pediatric outpatient department of some class-3 grade-A hospital in Beijing.They were randomized into an intervention group(n=21)and a control group(n=19).Both groups participated in standard school physical education programs,while the intervention group underwent 60-minute aerobic calisthenics exercise sessions three times weekly for 8 weeks.Before and after the intervention,the sleep condition was measured using the children's sleep habits questionnaire(CSHQ)and the three-axis acceleration recorder.The inter-group differenc-es in sleep dimensions were analyzed using independent samples t-tests,while the intra-group ones were evaluated using paired t-tests.Results(1)Inter-group comparison:Before the experiment,no sig-nificant differences were detected between the two groups in sleep characteristics.After the experi-ment,in comparison with the control group,there was a significant decrease in awakening time,aver-age awakening time,and sleep latency time of the intervention group,but a significant increase in sleep efficiency(P<0.05).Moreover,the total score of CSHQ,as well as the sleep resistance and sleep delay scores,were significantly lower in the intervention group(P<0.05).(2)Intra-group com-parison:In the intervention group,after the experiment,there were significant reductions in awakening time and sleep latency time,and a significant enhancement in sleep efficiency(P<0.05).Moreover,the total score of CSHQ,along with the scores of sleep resistance,sleep delay,and daytime sleepi-ness,decreased significantly(P<0.05).In the control group,the daytime sleepiness score decreased af-ter the experiment(P<0.05).Conclusion An 8-week aerobic calisthenics exercise(60 minutes/session,3 sessions/week)significantly improves overall sleep quality in children with ADHD.Therefore,it is worth application in the clinical practice.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a myeloid tumor derived from the malignant clones of hematopoietic stem cells, has an annually increasing incidence. The contemporary research direction has shifted to analyzing the synergistic effect of immune surveillance collapse and abnormal bone marrow microenvironment in the pathological process of MDS. Against this backdrop, the immune checkpoint molecule TIM3 has emerged as a key target because of its persistently high expression on the surface of important immune cells such as T and NK cells. The abnormal activation of the TIM3 pathway is the mechanism by which solid tumors and hematological malignancies achieve immune escape and is a key hub in the formation of immune exhaustion phenotypes. This work integrates the original discoveries of our team with the latest international progress, systematically demonstrating the bidirectional regulatory network of TIM3 between the malignant clone proliferation of MDS and the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Integrating the evidence from emerging clinical trials allows us to consider the clinical significance of TIM3-targeted blocking for MDS, providing a transformative path to overcome the resistance of traditional treatments and marking a new chapter in the active immune reconstitution of MDS treatment.

Objective:To investigate the impact of neuroendocrine function on postoperative complications and nutritional status in gastric cancer patients.Methods:Clinical data of 102 gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy at the Department of General Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, from Aug 2021 to Jun 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 102 gastric cancer patients, 18 (17.6%) suffered from postoperative complications. Univariate analysis indicated that age, BMI, preoperative plasma ghrelin concentration, and preoperative hemoglobin levels were associated with early postoperative complications following radical gastrectomy. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, BMI, and preoperative plasma ghrelin concentration ( P<0.05) were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in gastric cancer patients. Differential analysis of ghrelin concentration demonstrated correlations with hemoglobin levels, skeletal muscle index, albumin, and creatinine, and a positive correlation with the skeletal muscle index. Conclusions:Reduced preoperative neuroendocrine hormone ghrelin concentration is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications in gastric cancer patients. Ghrelin concentration is correlated with the skeletal muscle index in these patients.

Ghrelin is a newly discovered gastrointestinal peptide that is involved in regulating the body's growth,development and energy balance,and plays a key role in the occurrence and progression of malignant tumors,such as cell proliferation,migration,invasion,apoptosis,inflammatory response and vascular disease.Generate immune cell infiltration and so on.Ghrelin affects the progression of gastric cancer by activa-ting NF-κB/p65 and AMPK and other signaling pathways.Ghrelin not only assist in early screening of gastric cancer,but also function a new marker for predicting the prognosis and survival of gastric cancer patients.Ghrelin and its analogs have clinical application value in the treatment of gastric cancer-related syndromes such as cachexia or sarcopenia.
