Objective:
To explore the association between sleep quality and cardiorespiratory fitness among secondary school students, so as to provide a reference for promoting the overall development of physical and mental health of Chinese adolescents.
Methods:
From September to December 2023, 5 713 secondary school students aged 13 to 18 years were selected by the stratified cluster random sampling method from Shanghai, Suzhou, Taiyuan, Wuyuan, Xingyi, and Urumqi, respectively. Sleep quality and cardiorespiratory fitness level of secondary school students were evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) combined with cardiorespiratory fitness test, and the association between sleep quality and cardiorespiratory fitness was analyzed by Pearson s correlation and multivariate linear regression.
Results:
The report rate of poor sleep quality among secondary school students was 33.7 %(1 926/5 713). The PSQI scores of girls aged 13-18 years were higher than those of boys ( χ 2=1.60, 12.78, 15.62, 3.04, 10.09, 13.65 ) ( P <0.05). The 20 m SRT of secondary school students was 40 (27,51) times, and the VO 2max was 46.27 (40. 84 ,51.30) mL/(kg min). The 20 m SRT and VO 2max of girls of all ages were lower than those of boys( Z =-15.27 to -6.41 , -18.06 to -14.07, P <0.05). Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO 2max) was negatively correlated with sleep duration and hypnotic medication scores in boys ( r =-0.032, -0.005); VO 2max was negatively correlated with sleep duration and daytime dysfunction scores in girls ( r =-0.028, -0.008) ( P <0.05). After controlling the related variables, linear regression analysis showed that the total PSQI score was negatively correlated with VO 2max among secondary school students( β =-0.347, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Secondary school students with better sleep quality have higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness. Sleep quality should be promoted to improve cardiorespiratory fitness levels in secondary school students.

Aim To achieve efficient loading of doxo-rubicin(doxorubicin,dox)by synthesizing fluorinated nanomaterials,and to study the mechanism of nano-medicine against multidrug resistance in tumors.Methods The physicochemical properties of nano dox(nano-doxorubicin)at different degrees of fluorination(PF4 and PF8)were evaluated through various physi-cochemical parameters,and nano dox formulations were screened out with superior fluorination.The mechanism of nano dox in overcoming multidrug resist-ance in tumors was investigated and in vitro anti-tumor activity was studied through research on cytotoxicity,cellular uptake,apoptosis,and resistance against the P-glycoprotein(P-glycoprotein,P-gp)efflux pump.Results By examining various physicochemical indi-cators,PF8 exhibited superior nano performance in loading doxorubicin compared to PF4.Cytotoxicity ex-periments demonstrated that the IC50 value of nano dox was only 1/40 of free dox,indicating excellent in vitro activity of nano dox in overcoming resistance and inhib-iting cell proliferation.Cell uptake and apoptosis stud-ies indicated that nano dox could effectively enhance the uptake of doxorubicin in MCF-7/ADR cells and successfully enter the cell nucleus,ultimately leading to apoptosis-induced anticancer activity.Studies on drug efflux mediated by P-glycoprotein indicated that nano dox could rapidly enter MCF-7/ADR cells through an efficient cellular uptake pathway,effective-ly bypassing the P-glycoprotein efflux pump.This dual action resulted in increased drug uptake within resistant cells and a reduction in efflux,demonstrating the po-tential of nano doxorubicin to overcome drug resist-ance.Conclusions The design of fluorinated nano dox effectively circumvents the efflux of drug molecules by P-glycoprotein,enhancing drug uptake within re-sistant tumor cells and reducing efflux.This results in an effective strategy in combating multidrug resistance in tumors.

Objective:To optimize and compare method for hepatitis E virus (HEV) nucleic acid detection from pig liver, and provide technical references for HEV detection in animal viscera specimens.Methods:Three methods (PBS homogenization treatment, proteinase K treatment, chloroform extraction method) were used to pretreat and extract viral nucleic acid form pig liver, which was artificially contaminated with HEV fecal suspensions, and HEV RT-qPCR was used to compare the HEV recovery rate and inhibition rate. The optimized HEV method was applied to commercially available pig liver specimens, and HEV genotyping was performed on positive specimens.Results:The HEV recovery rate of PBS homogenization treatment, proteinase K treatment and chloroform extraction method was 9.88%, 0.19% and 17.28%, respectively. The recovery rate of proteinase K treatment was less than 1%, and it was discarded; t-test was performed to compare recovery rates of the other two methods, which showed statistically significant differences ( t=26.801, P<0.001), the chloroform extraction method had a higher recovery rate. The inhibition rates of the three methods were all less than 75%, within the range of the ISO/TS 15216-2∶2019 standard. Among 192 commercially available pig liver specimens, 17 specimens were detected positive for HEV RNA, with a nucleic acid positive rate of 8.85%; five specimens were successfully genotyped for HEV, all of which were genotype 4. Conclusions:The virus recovery effect was good when chloroform extraction method was used for pig liver pretreatment; moreover, this method could detect HEV RNA from commercially available pig livers, which indicate that it can be used for virus detection in food.

The major histocompatibility complex(MHC)is closely related to immune regulation.MHC shows distinct genetic polymorphism,and there are also species differences in MHC restriction.The human MHC is called human leukocyte antigen(HLA),and the mouse MHC is called H-2.The construction of humanized MHC transgenic mouse models is an important strategy to overcome the differences in MHC among species and simulate the characteristics of a human immune response.MHC transgenic mice are mainly divided into MHC Ⅰ or MHC Ⅱ single-transgenic mouse models and MHC Ⅰ and MHC Ⅱ double-transgenic mouse models.The development of HLA Ⅰ transgenic mouse model went through three stages,at present,the strategy of knocking out H-2Kb and H-2Db or murine β2m is adopted to eliminate the competitive inhibition of HLA Ⅰ molecules by endogenous H-2 class Ⅰ molecules.In the construction of an HLA Ⅱtransgenic mouse model,the β strand of murine origin is knocked out and HLA Ⅱ class genes are inserted.With the optimization of construction strategies,MHC transgenic mouse models have been applied to epitope vaccine development,tumor treatment,and genetic disease-association studies,becoming a powerful tool for preclinical trials.In this paper,we summarize the relevant data on MHC transgenic mouse models,as well as the construction strategies used for MHC transgenic mouse models and their application in vaccine development and disease treatment.

To analyze the biological characteristics of Pasteurella multocida in bovine respiratory tract and its prevalence in large-scale cattle farms,bacterial isolation,culture,and morphological observation were conducted on the lungs and liver samples of dead cows suffering from respiratory diseases in Hohhot,Inner Mongolia.The isolated strains were studied through biochemical testing,16S rRNA gene sequencing,specific primer PCR identification,capsule serotyping,pathogenicity testing,virulence gene testing,drug sensitivity testing,and drug resistance gene detection methods.The results showed that six strains of Pasteurella multocida serotype A were isolated and identi-fied from the lungs of diseased and dead cows.After sequencing the 16S rRNA sequence of the bac-teria,it was found that the six strains of Pasteurella multocida had the closest genetic relationship with the Chongqing isolate CQ2(CP033599.1).The results of mouse pathogenicity test and viru-lence gene detection showed that all isolates were pathogenic and carried at least 16 or more related virulence genes such as exbB,nanB,sodC,oma 87,etc.,but no hsf1 and toxA were detected.The results of drug sensitivity tests and resistance gene detection showed that the isolated strains were sensitive to different degrees of antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin,ofloxacin,and cefotaxime.They were resistant to streptomycin,clindamycin,and lincomycin,and resistance genes of str A,strB,and tet(H)were detected.The results indicate that there is a certain correlation between the pathoge-nicity and virulence genes,drug resistance phenotype,and drug resistance genes of Pasteurellamultocida type A in cattle.It is recommended to use quinolones(such as ciprofloxacin)and cepha-losporins(such as cefotaxime)antibacterial drugs in clinical practice,which can provide scientific basis and prevention and control plans for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases caused by Pasteurella multocida in cattle farms,and lay a foundation for the epidemiological mo-nitoring of bovine respiratory multocida pasteurellosis.

Objective To establish a high-throughput method that can simultaneously, quickly, and accurately detect main malaria-transmitting Anopheles species and their resistance genes in China, providing a high-throughput monitoring tool for monitoring the main malaria vectors in China after malaria elimination. Methods In different sampling locations, including Tengchong City, Yunnan Province; Wenchang City, Hainan Province; and Donggang City, Liaoning Province, adult specimens of mosquitoes, including Anopheles sinensis, Anopheles minimus, Anopheles dirus, and Anopheles anthropophagus, were collected. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and Sanger sequencing were employed to detect the ITS2, kdr (L1014), rdl (A296), and ace-1 (G119) genes in individual mosquitoes. For the analysis of mixed samples, an optimized multiplex PCR reaction system, custom-designed dual barcode primers, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology were utilized to detect the aforementioned genes. The consistency was assessed using Kappa consistency tests and Chi-square tests for multiple rates. Sensitivity, specificity, and the Youden index were calculated using a four-grid table calculation method. The costs associated with each step of the normal operational process for each method were statistically summarized, and the optimal quantity of mixed samples for detection was determined by a comprehensive approach. Results Conventional PCR amplification of gDNA from 300 mosquitoes resulted in 144 individuals of Anopheles sinensis, 53 individuals of Anopheles dirus, 62 individuals of Anopheles anthropophagus, and 41 individuals of Anopheles minimus, as identified by Sanger sequencing. The mutation frequencies of resistance genes kdr (L1014), rdl (A296), and ace-1 (G119) were found in 73, 27, and 41 specimens, respectively. Using a newly established multiplex PCR reaction system based on custom dual barcode and NGS sequencing technology, samples corresponding to Sanger sequencing were detected under different sample sizes. The two methods showed high consistency in the results (all Kappa>0.900). Multiple comparison tests showed significant differences in the consistencies of the two methods across different sample sizes N (40, 80, 160), N (120, 200, 240, 280), and N (300) (χ2=26.547, P<0.001). The new method demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity across various sample sizes, with the Youden index ranging from highest to lowest as follows: 1 (40, 80, 160)>0.994 (120)>0.990 (280)>0.988 (200)>0.987 (240)>0.985 (300). With an increase in sample size from 40 to 300, the cost per sequencing site for the new method decreased from 20.0 yuan to 8.3 yuan, while the cost per sequencing site for the conventional method decreased from 16.7 yuan to 15.4 yuan. The optimal mixed sample size for the new method was determined to be 280. Conclusion The newly developed multiplex PCR and barcode NGS detection method enables simultaneous screening of four major malaria vector mosquito species and the presence of mutations in the ace-1, kdr, and rdl resistance genes, exhibiting excellent stability, high sensitivity, and specificity. It allows for the efficient analysis of large sample sizes in a single run, offering a cost-effective alternative compared to other types of detection methods.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units,and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus( n=1 147,36.3%),coagulase-negative Staphylococci( n=928,29.3%), Enterococcus faecalis( n=369,11.7%), Enterococcus faecium( n=296,9.4%)and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci( n=192,6.1%). The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci(MRCNS)were 26.4%(303/1 147)and 66.7%(619/928),respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome,rifampin,compound sulfamethoxazole,linezolid,minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%(2/369),and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions( χ2=14.578, P=0.002),while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions( χ2=15.195, P=0.002). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=13.519 and 12.136, P<0.001). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions(per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022)were higher than those in economically less advanced regions(per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan)( χ2=9.969 and 7.606, P=0.002和0.006). Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China, Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time;the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China,with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.
