ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of long intergenic non-coding RNA02086 (LINC02086) overexpression mediated macrophage polarization on the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells. MethodsThe expression levels of LINC02086 in the human gastric epithelial cell line GES-1 and human gastric cancer cell lines HCG-27, NCI-N87, and AGS were determined by qRT-PCR. Human acute monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1) were induced to differentiate into M0 macrophages using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). HGC-27 cells were infected with either LINC02086 overexpression lentivirus (OE-LINC02086) or its negative control lentivirus (Vector), and the culture supernatants were collected as conditioned medium (CM1). M0 macrophages were co-cultured with the infected HGC-27 cells, and the resulting supernatants were designated as conditioned medium 2 (CM2). M0 macrophages were treated with CM1 alone or in combination with Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor IWR-1, forming the Vector+CM1, OE-LINC02086+CM1, and OE-LINC02086+CM1+IWR-1 groups, respectively. Flow cytometry was used to detect mannose receptor C-type 1 (CD206) expression, and qRT-PCR was employed to measure mRNA levels of interleukin-10 (IL⁃10), transforming growth factor-β (TGF⁃β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and chemokine ligand 22 (CCL22). Western blot was performed to evaluate protein expression of CD206, VEGF, and key components of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway—Wnt family member 3a (Wnt3a), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), and β-catenin. HGC-27 cells were treated with CM2 alone or combined with IWR-1, establishing the Vector+CM2, OE-LINC02086+CM2, and OE-LINC02086+CM2+IWR-1 groups. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation, and Transwell assays were conducted to assess migration and invasion capabilities. ResultsCompared with GES-1 cells, the expression levels of LINC02086 were upregulated in HCG-27, NCI-N87, and AGS cells (P < 0.05), with the smallest increase observed in HCG-27 cells. Compared with Vector+CM1 group, the level of CD206 and the expression levels of IL⁃10, TGF⁃β, VEGF and CCL22 mRNA in macrophages stimulated by OE-LINC02086+CM1 increased (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the expression levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin proteins in cells increased (P<0.05), and the expression level of GSK-3β protein decreased (P<0.05). However, co-treatment with IWR-1 markedly reversed the promoting effects of LINC02086 overexpression on the expression of M2 polarization markers, including CD206, IL⁃10, and TGF⁃β mRNA, in macrophages (P<0.05), as well as its activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway (P<0.05). Compared with Vector+CM2 group, HGC-27 cells infected with OE-LINC02086+CM2 had increased proliferation activity and increased number of migration and invasion cells (P<0.05). However, the combined intervention of IWR-1 significantly reversed the promotion of LINC02086 overexpression on the proliferation, migration and invasion of HGC-27 cells (P<0.05). ConclusionLINC02086 overexpression promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells by activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway to mediate M2 polarization of macrophages.
2.Related factors and pathway analysis of e-cigarette use behavior among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area,Shanghai
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(6):795-798
Objective:
To examine the prevalence of e-cigarette use and associated factors among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and to explore the pathways linking harm perception of e-cigarettes, interpersonal social influence, and attitudes toward e-cigarette use with experimentation behavior, in order to provide scientific basis for further optimizing the prevention and control strategies of e-cigarette among adolescents.
Methods:
From September to October 2025, a multi stage cluster random sampling method was used to select 5 144 primary and secondary school students aged 8-19 years from 47 primary and secondary schools in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, to conduct an anonymous questionnaire survey. The questionnaire collected information on e-cigarette use, harm perception of e-cigarette, interpersonal social influence, and attitudes toward e-cigarette use. The Chi-square test was applied to analyze the differences in cigarette and e-cigarette use behavior among primary and secondary school students with different demographic characteristics. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was constructed using Mplus 8.3 software, and the bootstrap method was utilized to test the mediating effects.
Results:
The reported rates of cigarette experimentation, e-cigarette experimentation, and current e-cigarette use among primary and secondary school students were 1.85%, 2.10%, and 0.70%, respectively. Higher reporting rates of e-cigarette experimentation were observed among boys (2.82%), secondary school students aged 16-19 (3.39%), senior high school students (3.05%), and those with weekly pocket money >100 yuan ( 6.11% ) ( χ 2=11.67, 8.61, 8.00, 54.18, all P <0.05). Structural pathway analysis results demonstrated that e-cigarette harm perception positively predicted interpersonal social influence ( β =0.61) and e-cigarette use attitude ( β = 0.53 ), and interpersonal social influence ( β =0.65) and e-cigarette use attitude ( β =0.25) further promoted e-cigarette experimentation behavior among primary and secondary school students (all P <0.01), with interpersonal social influence playing a major mediating role (indirect effect=0.40).
Conclusions
E-cigarette experimentation behavior among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area is jointly influenced by multiple psychosocial factors. Intervention strategies should strengthen interpersonal social factors such as family and peers on the basis of health education, thereby constructing a comprehensive prevention and control strategy for e-cigarette use among primary and secondary school students.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal clustering of varicella in Lu'an City from 2005 to 2023, and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing varicella prevention and control strategies. Methods Data on varicella cases were collected through the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Information System. Descriptive epidemiology, temporal trend analysis, seasonal analysis, spatiotemporal clustering analysis, and spatial autocorrelation analysis were conducted using QGIS, JoinPoint, SaTScan and GeoDa software. Results The average annual reported incidence rate of varicella in Lu'an City from 2005 to 2023 was 34.55/100,000, showing a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease. The peak incidence occurred from October to January of the following year (RR=1.97, LLR=1743.95, P=0.001). Students aged 0 to 19 was the primary affected group. Spatiotemporal scan analysis revealed four types of spatiotemporal clusters, with the cluster in Jin'an District from October 2017 to December 2023 being particularly prominent (RR=2.87,LLR=1734.15,P<0.001). Spatial autocorrelation analysis indicated significant clustering of varicella cases in the main urban area (Moran's I=0.216,Z=4.786,P=0.003). Conclusion The incidence of varicella in Lu'an City exhibits distinct seasonal and spatial clustering, and schools and kindergartens in the main urban area are the key to varicella prevention and control. It is necessary to enhance the monitoring of disease outbreaks during peak periods and in key areas, and to increase the two-dose vaccination rate for varicella in areas with case aggregation and among key populations.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(6):883-887
Objective:
To evaluate the incremental vaccine effectiveness (VE) of two dose of the mumps containing vaccine (MuCV) in chidren, so as to provide a basis for optimizing mumps immunization strategies.
Methods:
A 1∶2 frequency matched case-control study was conducted by using reported mumps cases in childcare centers or schools from Lu an, Hefei, Ma anshan and Huainan cities of Anhui Province from September 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024, as a case group(383 cases). And healthy children in the same classroom were selected as a control group(766 cases). The MuCV immunization histories of participants were collected to estimate the incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV against mumps. Group comparisons were performed using the Chi square test or t-test. For matched case-control pairs, the Cox regression model was employed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for two dose MuCV vaccination and to estimate the incremental vaccine effectiveness (VE).
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences between the case and control groups regarding gender, age, dosage of MuCV vaccination and the time interval since the last dose vaccination( χ 2/t=0.05, 0.20, 0.94, -0.02, P >0.05). The proportions of the case and control groups vaccinated with two doses of MuCV were 26.63% and 29.37%, respectively, and the overall incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV was 40.73% (95% CI=3.03%-63.77%, P <0.05). Subgroup analyses revealed that the incremental VE for children with a period of ≥1 year between the two doses of MuCV was 54.13% (95% CI=1.90%-78.56%, P <0.05), while for children with a period of <1 year, it was 30.63% (95% CI=-28.59%-62.58%, P >0.05). The incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV was 30.36% (95% CI=-25.95%-61.50%, P >0.05) in kindergarten children and 66.73% (95% CI=14.92%-86.99%, P <0.05) in elementary and secondary school students. The incremental VE was 28.78% (95% CI=-27.46%-60.21%, P >0.05) within five years of the last dose of MuCV vaccination and 66.07% (95% CI=-41.56%-91.87%, P >0.05) for vaccinations administered beyond five years.
Conclusions
The second dose of MuCV may offer additional protection for children; however, extending the interval between two dose of MuCV (<1 year) has shown limited incremental protective effects. Therefore, it is crucial to consider optimizing current immunization strategies for mumps.

Objective: To investigate the role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ delta (CaMKⅡδ) in platelet activation mediated by thrombin and thrombin receptor activator peptide (TRAP). Methods: The CaMKⅡδ-specific inhibitor Hesperadin was used to assess its inhibitory effects on platelet activation using multiple detection methods. These included: analyzing the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of Hesperadin on thrombin- and TRAP-induced platelet aggregation using a platelet aggregometer; measuring CD62P expression levels and calcium mobilization via flow cytometry; and determining dense granule release activity using a microplate reader. Results: Hesperadin at concentrations of 40 μM and 80 μM significantly inhibited thrombin- and TRAP-induced platelet aggregation (P<0.05). Within the concentration range of 20–80 μM, it significantly inhibited α-granule release and TRAP-induced calcium ion mobilization (P<0.05); at 80 μM, it markedly suppressed thrombin-induced platelet calcium ion mobilization and significantly inhibited dense granule release (P<0.05). Conclusion: The experimental results indicate that CaMKⅡδ in platelets is activated and plays a regulatory role in the process of platelet activation induced by thrombin and TRAP.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from elderly patients(≥65 years)in major medical institutions across China.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated from elderly patients in 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program during the period from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method and automated systems according to the same CHINET protocol.The data were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021.Results A total of 514 715 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from elderly patients in 52 hospitals from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021.The number of isolates accounted for 34.3%of the total number of clinical isolates from all patients.Overall,21.8%of the 514 715 strains were gram-positive bacteria,and 78.2%were gram-negative bacteria.Majority(90.9%)of the strains were isolated from inpatients.About 42.9%of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens,and 22.9%were isolated from urine.More than half(60.7%)of the strains were isolated from male patients,and 39.3%isolated from females.About 51.1%of the strains were isolated from patients aged 65-<75 years.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains(MRSA)was 38.8%in 32 190 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found.The resistance rate of E.faecalis to most antibiotics was significantly lower than that of Enterococcus faecium,but a few vancomycin-resistant strains(0.2%,1.5%)and linezolid-resistant strains(3.4%,0.3%)were found in E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible S.pneumoniae(PSSP),penicillin-intermediate S.pneumoniae(PISP),and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae(PRSP)was 94.3%,4.0%,and 1.7%in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The resistance rates of Klebsiella spp.(Klebsiella pneumoniae 93.2%)to imipenem and meropenem were 20.9%and 22.3%,respectively.Other Enterobacterales species were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics.Only 1.7%-7.8%of other Enterobacterales strains were resistant to carbapenems.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.(Acinetobacter baumannii 90.6%)to imipenem and meropenem were 68.4%and 70.6%respectively,while 28.5%and 24.3%of P.aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions The number of clinical isolates from elderly patients is increasing year by year,especially in the 65-<75 age group.Respiratory tract isolates were more prevalent in male elderly patients,and urinary tract isolates were more prevalent in female elderly patients.Klebsiella isolates were increasingly resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,especially carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for accurate empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients.
