Objective: To determine the correlation between obesity related indicators and blood lipid levels among children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 5 812 participants were included. Height, weight, body composition, waist circumference, blood pressure were measured and fasting glucose and blood lipid levels were tested based on a cross sectional survey of children and adolescents 6-17 years in Beijing, 2022-2023. The body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), body roundness index (BRI) and waist to height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. Linear and Logistic regression were used to analyze the associations between the four obesity indicators (BMI, FMI, BRI, and WHtR) and blood lipids in children and adolescents. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to evaluate differences in the associations between different obesity indicators with dyslipidemia. Results: Linear regression showed that BMI, FMI, BRI, and WHtR were positively correlated with triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and non high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non HDL-C) levels (boys: β 6-9 years =0.02-0.28, β 10-17 years =0.02-0.37; girls: β 6-9 years =0.02-0.28, β 10-17 years =0.03-0.25), and negatively correlated with the high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level in both genders across age subgroups (boys: β BMI = -0.03, β FMI = -0.04 , β BRI =-0.09, β WHtR =-0.17; girls: β BMI =-0.03, β FMI =-0.04, β BRI =-0.11, β WHtR =-0.20) (all P <0.01). The associations between total cholesterol (TC) and remnant cholesterol (RC) levels with obesity indicators differed significantly by gender and age. The TC level was positively associated with obesity indicators in boys of all ages ( β BMI =0.01, β FMI =0.03, β BRI = 0.08 , and β WHtR =0.16) but only with FMI, BRI, and WHtR in girls 6-9 years of age ( β FMI =0.02, β BRI =0.05, and β WHtR =0.08) (all P <0.05). The RC level had a negative correlation with BRI in boys 10-17 years of age ( β =-0.01) and a positive correlation with BMI in girls 6- 9 years of age ( β =0.00) (all P <0.05). Logistic regression indicated that elevated obesity indicators were significantly associated with higher risks of elevated TG, LDL-C, and non HDL-C levels and a decreased HDL-C level in all gender age stratas (all P <0.01). Only the BMI and FMI in girls 6-9 years of age were significantly related to a high RC ( OR =1.07, 1.07, both P <0.05). ROC analysis revealed that FMI, BRI, and WHtR were more predictive than BMI of elevated TG, LDL-C, and non HDL-C levels. The BMI was superior in predicting a decreased HDL-C level in boys, while no significant difference was detected among indicators in girls. Indeed, all obesity indicators had poor predictive performance for elevated TC, RC, and LDL-C levels in girls (all AUC<0.7). Conclusions Obesity indicators reflecting body fat content and fat distribution are shown to be closely associated with dyslipidemia in children and adolescents with obvious age and gender differences. The FMI, BRI, and WHtR have potential advantages in the early identification of dyslipidemia among children and adolescents compared to the BMI alone.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behavior is highly prevalent during adolescence. Previous studies have mainly focused on the relationship between NSSI behavior and emotional regulation， pain perception， reward mechanisms， and impulsivity. However， the cognitive mechanisms underlying the occurrence and maintenance of NSSI behavior have not been sufficiently explored. Adolescence is a critical period for the development of cognitive control. However， it remains unclear whether adolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior have abnormal cognitive control. ObjectiveTo reveal the potential deficits in cognitive control among adolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior. MethodsThis study was a case-control study including 166 adolescent patients who visited the Third People's Hospital of Lanzhou from November 2024 to May 2025 and met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5）. According to whether they had NSSI behavior or not， patients were divided into the NSSI group （n=86） and the non-NSSI group （n=80）. At the same time， healthy adolescents who passed mental health screenings in five public middle schools in the northwest region were selected as the control group （n=71）. All participants completed the color-word Stroop task， and the accuracy rates and reaction time in congruent and incongruent conditions of each group were recorded， and the interference effect based on accuracy rates and reaction time was calculated. ResultsIn terms of accuracy rate， the main effect of trial type was statistically significant （F=46.900， P<0.01， ηp²=0.160）， and the interaction effect between group and trial type was also statistically significant （F=3.390， P=0.035， ηp²=0.028）. In terms of reaction time， the main effect of trial type was statistically significant （F=72.020， P<0.01， ηp²=0.240）， and the interaction effect between group and trial type was also statistically significant （F=6.400， P=0.002， ηp²=0.050）. Simple effect analysis revealed that under both congruent and incongruent conditions， the reaction time of the NSSI group was longer than those of the non-NSSI group and the control group， and the reaction time of the non-NSSI group was also longer than that of the control group （P<0.01）. There were statistically significant differences in the interference effects among three groups based on reaction time （H=10.231， P=0.006）. The interference effect in the NSSI group was higher than that in the control group （Z=3.012， P_adj=0.008） and the non-NSSI group （Z=2.453， P_adj=0.043）. There was no statistically significant difference in the interference effect among the three groups based on accuracy rate （H=5.666， P=0.059）. ConclusionAdolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior exhibit cognitive control deficits beyond depressive symptoms， particularly showing impaired conflict suppression ability. ［Funded by Lanzhou Municipal Health Industry Scientific Research Project （number，A2026019）］

ObjectiveTo compare colonoscopy compliance rates under different screening strategies, to explore ways to enhance colonoscopy compliance among residents with colorectal carcinoma. MethodsResidents aged between 50‒80 years were recruited through extensive community outreach and voluntary participation. A total of 210 630 residents who participated in the colorectal carcinoma screening program in Jiading District, Shanghai, between 2013 and 2019 were selected as the research subjects. All subjects underwent a colorectal carcinoma risk assessment questionnaire survey and two fecal occult blood tests (FOBT). Positive results in the initial screening were defined as a positive questionnaire survey or a positive result in at least one FOBT. Participants with positive initial screening results were advised to undergo colonoscopy screening in a hospital. Colonoscopy results were collected from hospital reports and physician follow-ups. Compliance with colonoscopy was analyzed under different screening strategies to identify possible factors influencing residents’ willingness to undergo the procedure. ResultsA total of 21 403 individuals (10.16%) were identified as positive with the questionnaire survey, 31 595 individuals (15.00%) tested positive with at least one FOBT. Combined questionnaire and FOBT positivity was observed in 3 501 individuals (1.66%). Among the 48 453 individuals with positive initial screening results, 17 230 (35.56%) underwent colonoscopy, and a total of 315 cases of colorectal cancer were detected. The sensitivity, specificity value of FOBT initial screening were 83.81% and 84.66%, respectively. According to the combined risk assessment and FOBT initial screening preliminary screening, the lowest colonoscopy compliance rate (25.63%) was observed among individuals with only a positive questionnaire, and the highest compliance rate (52.55%) was among those with both positive questionnaire survey and two positive FOBT results. Multivariate analysis revealed that FOBT positivity had the greatest impact on colonoscopy compliance. Those with one positive FOBT test result were 2.64 times more likely to undergo colonoscopy screening than those with negative FOBT results, while individuals with two positive FOBT results were 3.18 times more likely to do so. After adjusting for FOBT results, individuals with positive questionnaire survey results were 1.43 times more likely to undergo colonoscopy screening than those with negative results (95%CI: 1.34‒1.52). Compared to questionnaire-based risk assessment, FOBT results were more influential in determining compliance with colonoscopy. ConclusionThe choice of initial screening method significantly impacts residents’ compliance with colonoscopy. While implementing colorectal carcinoma screening programs, it is necessary to strictly adhere to screening protocols, including risk assessment and FOBT. Additionally, efforts should be made to raise public awareness, encouraging residents to actively participate in risk assessments and FOBT, thereby improving their compliance with colonoscopy.

Objective:To explore the relationship between stereotyped repetitive behaviors and auditory event-related potential(ERP) components P50, N1, P2, N2, and P3 in children with Asperger syndrome(AS).Methods:Forty children with AS and twenty age- and gender-matched healthy children were selected as the AS group and the control group, respectively. Auditory ERP components P50, N1, P2, N2, and P3 were measured in both groups. The AS group were evaluated by the childhood Asperger syndrome test (CAST), autism spectrum screening questionnaire, mandarin Chinese version(CH-ASSQ), and aberrant behavior checklist (ABC).The SPSS 24.0 software was used to perform independent sample t-test on the differences in ERP components between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis, Spearman correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed on the scores of stereotyped repetitive behaviors and the amplitude and latency of ERP components. Results:The P50 amplitude ratio (S2/S1) in the AS group was significantly higher than that in the control group((89.6±49.5)% vs (58.3±28.9)%, t=2.950, P=0.005). The latencies of N1 ((111.0±19.7) ms vs (90.9±22.0) ms, t=3.515, P<0.001), P2 ((167.5±21.5) ms vs (142.2±27.2) ms, t=3.841, P<0.001), N2 ((220.0±20.5) ms vs (192.1±26.9) ms, t=4.364, P<0.001), P3a ((297.5±21.9) ms vs (270.3±29.4) ms, t=3.931, P<0.001), and P3b ((376.9±19.4) ms vs (350.6±26.8) ms, t=3.865, P<0.001) in the AS group were all longer than those in the control group. After controlling for comorbidities such as ADHD, age, and Wechsler intelligence quotient for children, the total score of stereotyped behaviors of the ABC showed positive partial correlations with the S1 amplitude( r=0.478), S1 latency( r=0.667), and S2 latency( r=0.510) of P50, as well as the latencies of P3a( r=0.428) and P3b( r=0.470)(all P<0.05).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age and N2 latency were the influencing factors of the total score of restricted and repetitive behaviors ( β=0.500, 0.520, both P<0.05), and S1-P50 amplitude and N2 latency were the influencing factors of the total score of stereotyped behaviors ( β=0.609, 0.518, both P<0.05). Conclusion:Restricted and repetitive behaviors are not in a simple linear relationship with ERP components. Stereotyped behaviors may be associated with decreased stimulus sensitivity and impaired higher-order cognitive functions. The N2 latency may be a potential biomarker for predicting stereotyped repetitive behaviors.

Objective To analyze the complex relationships between individual or combined exposures to six aldehydes and hyperuricemia(HUA)and serum uric acid(SUA)levels in adults by Bayesian kernel machine regression(BKMR),and to explore the factors associated with aldehyde exposure leading to HUA.Methods Participants aged 20 years and older with available aldehyde data were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES)2013-2014.The study employed BKMR to explore the complex associations between individual or combined exposure to multiple aldehydes and both HUA and SUA.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between aldehydes and HUA,while multiple linear regression models were used to examine the linear relationship between aldehydes and SUA.Stratified analysis was conducted to explore the association between aldehydes and HUA across populations with different characteristics.Results A total of 1,952 participants were included in the analysis,of whom 346(17.73％)were diagnosed with HUA.Butyraldehyde[OR=1.59,95％CI(1.23,2.07)],heptaldehyde[OR=1.58,95％CI(1.18,2.13)],and hexaldehyde[OR=1.68,95％CI(1.15,2.45)]were significantly associated with HUA.For each one-unit increase in the concentration of butyraldehyde,heptaldehyde,or hexaldehyde,the risk of developing HUA increased by approximately 59％,58％,and 68％,respectively.The results from the BKMR model indicated that the combined effect of aldehyde exposure was positively associated with both HUA and SUA.Among the individual aldehydes,hexaldehyde showed the highest posterior inclusion probability(PIP=0.324),suggesting the greatest contribution to the observed association.Six aldehydes were also significantly positively correlated with reduced glomerular filtration rate(GFR)and elevated levels of triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C).Conclusion Individual or combined exposure to aldehydes was positively associated with HUA.This association may be attributed to factors such as reduced GFR,as well as elevated levels of TG and LDL-C.

ObjectiveTo explore the compliance related factors of repeated screening for colorectal cancer in Jiading District， and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of colorectal cancer. MethodsBased on the natural population cohort in Jiading District， and the screening situation in 2017‒2019 and 2020‒2022， the study subjects were divided into the groups of never participating in screening and participating in screening. Subjects in the participating group were further divided into participating in one round of screening or having repeated screening. SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze the demographic characteristics of each group. χ² test or Fisher precise probability test were used to conduct univariate analysis of the factors such as gender， age， education level， marital status， retirement status， and type of medical insurance. Factors with the significant difference （P<0.05） were selected for inclusion in multivariate analysis， and factors related to compliance with repeated screening were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. ResultsA total of 8 179 subjects were included in the study， including 3 323 males （40.6%） and 4 856 females （59.4%）. The average age of the subjects was （61.26±6.06） years old. A total of2 652 （32.4%） had educated in primary school or below， 4 242 （51.9%） in secondary school， and 1 285 （15.7%） in higher secondary school. Mostly， 7 579 （92.7%） were married. Among the participants， 4 062 people had never participated in screening， 4 117 people had participated in screening， and 1 485 of them had repeated screening， with a repeated screening rate of 18.2%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that women had better compliance with repeated screening than men （OR=1.31， 95%CI： 1.14‒1.50）. Compared with the population aged 50 to 54 years， the population aged 55‒59 years （OR=1.57， 95%CI： 1.19‒2.08）， 60-64 years （OR=2.77， 95%CI： 2.13‒3.61）， and 65-69 years （OR=3.31， 95%CI： 2.51‒4.36） had higher compliance with repeated screening. Compared with employees' medical insurance， residents' medical insurance group had worse compliance with repeated screening （OR=0.76， 95%CI： 0.66‒0.87）. People with a history of intestinal polyps were more likely to undergo repeat screening than those without （OR=2.07， 95%CI： 1.50‒2.87）. ConclusionCompliance with repeated screening for colorectal cancer still needs to be improved， and there are differences in compliance with repeated screening for different populations with different characteristics. Identifying groups that are unlikely to adhere to community-based colorectal cancer screening and taking targeted interventions can help improve the continued compliance of residents with colorectal cancer screening.

Objective To establish interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3(Ifitm3)knockout mice and to explore the effects of Ifitm3 on the proliferation and differentiation of adult neural stem cells of mice(aNSCs).Methods IFITM3 knockout mice were established by the CRISPR/Cas9 method and identified by genotype identification and Western Blot.The differences between Ifitm3-knockout mice and wild-type mice were analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and flow cytometry.The aNSCs of wild-type mice and Ifitm3-knockout mice were isolated and cultured,the number and size of neurospheres were detected,The ability of aNSCs to proliferate and differentiate were detected by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction,Western Blot,and immunofluorescence.Results Ifitm3-knockout mice were successfully established.The mice developed normally,and there were no obvious abnormalities either histopathologically or the immune system.In vitro experiments showed that Ifitm3 knockout inhibited the self-renewal potential of aNSCs,led to a decrease in the proliferation ability of aNSCs,and inhibited the differentiation of aNSCs into immature neurons and astrocytes.Conclusions This study finds that a lack of IFITM3 result in the ability of aNSCs to proliferate and differentiate decreased,IFITM3 may regulate the function of aNSCs.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of the complement C3/C3aR signaling pathway in the prefrontal cortex and colon neuroglia cell interactions during meth-amphetamine(METH)addiction,to observe the effects of TLR4 inhibitors as well as complement C3 elimination on METH reward and relapse behavior,and to explore the neuroinflammatory mechanisms of complement C3 acti-vation in METH addiction.METHODS ①A 14 d and 28 d rat METH addiction model was established to observe the effects of TLR4 antagonist ibudilast 3 mg·kg-1 and 10 mg·kg-1 on self-administration,reward motivation,relapse,and natural reward behavior in METH-trained 14 d rats and the effects of 0.02 mg·kg-1 complement C3 antago-nist on self-administration behavior in METH-trained 28 d rats.② Differences in the expression of TLR4,NF-κB,GRP94,C3,cathepsin L,CD68,and GFAP in the pre-frontal cortex of each group were examined using West-ern blotting.③ In addition,the expression of ATF6 in the prefrontal cortex of each group and the effects on neuro-nal and microglia/macrophage INOS,CD206 GRP94,and complement C3/C3aR.RESULTS ① Endoplasmic reticulum stress occurred in neurons and microglia after METH exposure depending on GRP94 and unfolded pro-tein responses to the ATF6 pathway.In addition,it acti-vates the TLR4-NF-κB pathway.② Microglia with high complement C3/C3aR expression in the prefrontal cortex were recruited to synaptic pruning and phagocytic responses around neurons with high GRP94,comple-ment C3/C3aR expression and these effects were blocked by complement C3 antagonists.③ In the rec-tum,GRP94 functions as a molecular chaperone for com-plement C3 and cathepsin L.Crosstalk occurs between enteric neurons high in GRP94,complement C3,and macrophages high in C3aR,located in the submucosa,lamina propria,and muscular,respectively,and all of these effects are blocked by complement C3 antago-nists.④ Treatment with the TLR4 antagonist ibudilast inhibits self-administration,reward motivation,and cue-or METH-priming in METH-trained 14 d rats,but fails to affect natural reward behavior.Ibudilast treatment attenu-ates the TLR4-NF-κB inflammatory pathway and comple-ments C3/C3aR pathway in the prefrontal cortex.CON-CLUSION Activation of the complement C3/C3aR signal-ing pathway by TLR4-NF-κB inflammatory signaling in the prefrontal cortex mediates the METH addiction pro-cess,providing an experimental basis for the clinical treatment of METH addiction,and targeting TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory signaling and complement C3/C3aR may be a new way to intervene in METH addiction.
