Objective: To explore the association between physical activity, anxiety symptoms and academic performance among junior high school students, so as to provide data support for optimizing school physical education and health work and formulating physical activity guidelines. Methods: From September to December 2022, a convenience cluster sampling method was used to survey 2 800 junior high school students in a middle school from Anqing City, Anhui Province. Data were collected on the students anxiety symptoms, academic performance, 24 hour physical activity [moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity(MVPA), light intensity physical activity(LPA), sedentary behavior(SB), and sleep(SLP) duration] as well as demographic characteristics. Compositional data analysis was used to explore the associations between 24 hour physical activity, anxiety symptoms and academic performance among junior high school students, and to predict the optimal time use combination pattern. Results: Among the junior high school students, 16.0% (447 students) reported anxiety symptoms, and 42.0% (1 175 students) achieved excellent or good academic performance. Compositional data analysis showed that increased SLP duration was associated with both reduced anxiety symptoms ( β =-0.18) and decreased academic performance ( β =-0.03) among junior high school students; increased MVPA duration was correlated with fewer anxiety symptoms ( β =-0.02) and lower academic performance ( β =-0.13); in contrast, increased SB duration was linked to more anxiety symptoms ( β =0.09) and higher academic performance ( β =0.09) (all P <0.01). LPA duration exhibited a non linear relationship with anxiety symptoms and academic performance in junior high school students (all P >0.05). The time use combination pattern corresponding to the lowest anxiety symptoms and highest academic performance (top 5%) in adolescents was 611 (520-640) minutes of SLP, 258 (230-320) minutes of SB, 454 (280-610) minutes of LPA, and 117 (20-200) minutes of MVPA per day. Conclusions The 24 hour physical activity of junior high school students is associated with anxiety symptoms and academic performance. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the time spent on SB, MVPA, and LPA for junior high school students, while reducing SB.

Objective:To examine the near-complete genomic analysis of norovirus (NoV) subtype GⅡ.17 [P17] outbreaks in Beijing Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024.Methods:Data and specimens related to outbreaks of the NoV aggregation in Beijing′s Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were collected. The NoV was identified using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Specimens with positive nucleic acid were amplified by standard PCR, whole genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis. Amino acid site variations were compared.Results:In Chaoyang District, from 2014 to 2024, a total of 637 aggregated outbreaks caused by the NoV infection were reported, of which 584 were successfully typed. The epidemic caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype accounted for 8.79% (56/637), which was the dominant epidemic gene subtype in 2014-2015, sporadic in 2016-2019, reappeared in 2022, and significantly increased in 2024 (27.27%, 24/88). Outbreaks caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype occurred mainly from October to December, with the main sites of occurrence in primary schools and kindergartens. This study yielded 53 near-complete genome sequences of the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype from 46 incidents in Chaoyang District. The GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype sequences of Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were segmented into three subgroups on the evolutionary tree, with sequences from 2014 to 2019, 2022 to April 2024, and May to December 2024 clustered into the d, e, and b subgroups, respectively. In the VP1 region′s P2 area, particularly at the HBGA binding site, subgroups b and e exhibited mutations in 22 and two sites, while subgroups b and e showed mutations in four and one sites, predominantly in the RdRp region.Conclusion:The outbreak caused by the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 continues, with a significant increase in 2024, and it becomes the dominant gene subtype from October to December. The sequence formation of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from January to April 2022 and from May to December 2024 shows two different evolutions, with specific mutation sites, requiring continuous monitoring of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype.

Objective:To investigate ability of HCA587/MAGE-C2 protein combined with different adjuvants inducing antigen-specific immune response and antitumor effects in mice model.Methods:C57BL/6J mice were immunized with HCA587 protein com-bined with Freund's complete adjuvant(CFA)/Freund's incomplete adjuvant(IFA)and different doses of CpG ODN 1826(CpG),cellular and humoral immunity levels induced by different schemes were compared.ELISpot was used to evaluate frequency of IFN-γ-producing splenocytes.HCA587-specific antibodies were detected by ELISA.Intracellular cytokine staining(ICCS)analysis was mea-sured by flow cytometry.A tumor-bearing animal model was created by subcutaneously injection of B16-HCA587 tumor cells into right flank of C57BL/6J mice,which was treated with strategy with the strongest cellular and humoral immune response in immune compari-son protocol.Vernier calipers were used to measure tumor volume,and Log-rank test was used to analyze survival curve.Results:HCA587 protein combined with CFA and 50 μg CpG elicited strongest specific IFN-γ-secreting splenocytes and anti-HCA587 anti-bodies,which induced highest IFN-γ+CD4+T cells(P<0.05).In tumor treatment model,HCA587 protein combined with CFA and 50 μg CpG significantly inhibited tumor growth(P=0.026),while Log-rank test showed no significant effect on survival(P>0.05).Conclusion:HCA587 protein vaccine formulated with CFA and 50 μg CpG causes a significant cellular and humoral immune response and partial antitumor effect in mice model,providing new experimental data for preclinical research of tumor antigen protein vaccine.

Objective To understand the HPV vaccination situation in the vaccination clinic of Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and to guide the rational use of the vaccine. Methods The vaccination information and the information on HPV vaccine inoculated subjects in the clinic of Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2018 to 2019 were analyzed. Results A total of 5 714 HPV vaccination subjects were analyzed, among which the largest proportion (48.97%) was in the 20-26.5 years old group, and the smallest proportion (1.12%) was in the 9-15 years old group. The 9-valent HPV vaccination accounted for 98.72% of the 20-26.5-year-old group. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of vaccination populations between the bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines (P＜0.01，χ²=252.85), and between the bivalent and 9-valent HPV vaccines (P＜0.01，χ²=258.15). The vaccination rate of the bivalent HPV vaccine was 88.25% (894/1 013), and the vaccination rate of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine was 94.43% (1 915/2 028). The difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.02, P=0.043). Conclusion Vaccination subjects tend to choose high-valent HPV vaccines, and the proportion of HPV vaccination in the younger age group is seriously insufficient. Both bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines have relatively high overall vaccination rates. The next step should be to strengthen the vaccination publicity for younger age groups.

Objective:To investigate the optimal experimental conditions (including antigen retrieval time, antibody titers and antibody incubation time) for reliable detection of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression using PD-L1 (22C3) antibody concentrate, and to establish a laboratory developed test for PD-L1 detection.Methods:Using Dako PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDX staining procedure and scoring guidelines as the standard reference (group A), the PD-L1 expression in 25 tissue specimens (including 15 lung cancer tissues, 5 tonsil tissues and 5 placenta tissues) was detected with Flex+/HRP detection kit (EnVision) under 8 different experimental conditions (groups B1 to B8). The staining results were then compared to those in group A.Results:In group B1, 3 tissue samples showed the percentages of PD-L1 positive tumor cells were similar to those in group A, while the percentages of PD-L1 positive tumor cells were lower than those in group A in the other samples. In group B7, two case showed a positive rate higher than that in group A that was also above the positive cut-off value, and the rest of the samples had a percentage of PD-L1 positive tumor cells slightly higher than that in group A, but still below the positive cut-off value. The staining results of group B8 were the closest to those of group A compared with the other groups. Although the percentages of PD-L1 positive tumor cells in the B2 to B6 groups were decreased in various degrees as compared with group A, they were still concordant with group A′s classification (positive vs. negative) and would not change the choice of clinical treatments.Conclusions:The experimental conditions are associated with detection rate of PD-L1 expression using 22C3 antibody. In the present study, the most-suitable alterative conditions in the PD-L1 detection using 22C3 antibody concentrate are those applied in the group B8 (including antigen retrieval in Dako PT Link tank at 97 ℃, pH 6.0 for 40 min and incubation with 22C3 antibodies (1∶100 dilution) at room temperature for 60 min, incubation with EnVision Flex+Linker at room temperature for 30 min, incubation with EnVision/HRP at room temperature for 30 min and DAB staining for 5 min), which could provide reliable results at minimum costs.

Objective:To study the clinicopathological characteristics and pathologic diagnosis of autoimmune gastritis.Methods:Fourteen biopsies of autoimmune gastritis were collected from January 2018 to March 2019 at Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital. Their clinical data, histological features and immunohistochemical (IHC) results were analyzed, with review of relevant literature.Results:All 14 patients′ ages ranged from 41 to 79 years (mean 55 years). There were 12 females and 2 males. All patients had non-specific symptoms, but they all had positive serum anti-parietal cell antibody and/or anti-intrinsic factor antibody. Seven patients had variable degree of anemia. Two patients had concomitant H. pylori infection. Two patients presented with multiple protruding polyps in corpus/fundus, 0.2 to 0.9 cm in diameter, or multiple large lobulated and broad based polyps (0.8 to 3.5 cm in diameters). The former cases were diagnosed as type 1 neuroendocrine tumors, the latter were multiple hyperplastic polyps. Microscopically, autoimmune gastritis showed typical morphology, characterized by diffuse corpus-restricted atrophic gastritis with variable proportions of intestinal metaplasia, or pseudopyloric metaplasia, pancreatic, acinar metaplasia, foveolar hyperplasia and hyperplasia of the endocrine-like cells (ECL cells). Hyperplasia of ECL cells often needed IHC staining to confirm. CgA/Syn IHC stain highlighted linear and micronodular ECL cell hyperplasia. In the absence of concurrent or past H. pylori infection, the antrum was usually normal. Gastrin IHC stain showed hyperplasia of gastrin-producing cells (G cells) in the antrum. Two cases were in the early phase, six were in florid phase, and six were end phase.Conclusions:Most patients of autoimmune gastritis have non-specific symptoms or are asymptomatic and show various endoscopic findings. There are three histologic phases of autoimmune gastritis. Recognition of this entity would be beneficial for pathologists to avoid misdiagnosis. Pathologists can make preferred diagnosis of autoimmune gastritis depending on the histologic clues and prompt appropriate and timely management for the patients.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, treatment and prognosis of duodenal-type follicular lymphoma. Methods: Four cases of duodenal-type follicular lymphoma diagnosed at Guangdong General Hospital from 2014 to 2015 with detailed clinical data were included. The histomorphology, immunophenotype, treatment and prognoses were analyzed. Results: The patients′ age ranged from 51 to 57 years (mean 54 years), and there were 2 males and 2 females. The involved sites were gastric fundus in one case, second portion of the duodenum in two cases and terminal ileum in one case. All patients presented with multiple mucosal granules or nodules at endoscopy. Microscopically, there were multiple mucosal neoplastic follicles, constituting grade 1-2 disease based on nodal follicular lymphoma grading system. The tumor cells were positive for CD20, CD10, bcl-6 and bcl-2. CD21 highlighted the follicular dendritic meshwork mainly at the periphery of the follicles. Proliferation index was low. Three patients received rituximab monotherapy for 4 cycles, leading to complete remission. One patient refused therapy and the disease progressed to systemic lymphoma 15 months after the initial diagnosis. Conclusions Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma is a special variant of follicular lymphoma with indolent clinical course. The tumor exhibits morphology of low grade follicular lymphoma with characteristic dendritic meshwork at the periphery of the follicles and a low proliferation index. Prognosis is excellent. Rituximab monotherapy is treatment of choice, but a small minority of patients may progress to systemic disease.

Objectives: To investigate the clinicopathological features, therapy and prognosis of primary cardiac CD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with C-MYC and bcl-2 double expression. Methods: Two cases diagnosed at Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital were included, the clinical data were collected; the tumor morphology, immunophenotypic profiles, therapy and prognosis were analyzed. Results: Case 1 was a 55-year-old man and case 2 was a 61-year-old women. Intraoperatively, both cases showed large masses in the right atrium or ventricle, involving adjacent tissue. Pathologically, the tumors were composed of diffusely infiltrating large lymphoid cells with high mitotic activity and apoptosis. The tumor cells were positive for CD20, CD5, bcl-6, MUM1, C-MYC and bcl-2, and the Ki-67 index was equal or greater than 90%. Case 1 had bcl-6, but not bcl-2 or MYC gene rearrangements. No MYC, bcl-2 or bcl-6 gene rearrangements were detected in case 2. Case 1 defaulted chemotherapy after operation and died 1 month after diagnosis. Case 2 was treated with 4 cycles of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP) therapy after surgery and attained partial remission, and was then treated with apatinib and ibrutinib, and remained stable 18 months after initial diagnosis. Conclusion Primary cardiac CD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with C-MYC and bcl-2 double expression usually shows large infiltrative mass in the right atrium or ventricle, non-germinal center like immunophenotype and high proliferation index, and this may contribute to the aggressiveness of primary cardiac lymphoma.

As a pandemic metabolic disease, obesity has become a worldwide problem, which endangering human health. The change in body weight reflects the energy imbalance. And the homeostasis regulation of the central and peripheral melanocortin system may maintain the energy balance and then affect the body weight. Recent studies have found that melanocortin receptor-4 ( MC4R) plays an important role in energy homeostasis and body weight changes, but its specific mechanism needs further elucidation. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress of MC4R in body weight and energy regulation, so as to provide a theoretical basis for further exploring the potential role of MC4R in improving energy metabolism imbalance and obesity.
