ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of anticentromere antibody （ACA） on the clinical features and prognosis of patients with primary biliary cholangitis （PBC） by comparing clinical classification， ursodeoxycholic acid （UDCA） response， GLOBE score， and UK-PBC score between ACA-positive PBC patients and ACA-negative PBC patients. MethodsA total of 749 patients who were admitted to Beijing Ditan Hospital， Capital Medical University， from August 2013 to December 2022 and were diagnosed with PBC were enrolled and divided into ACA-positive group with 147 patients and ACA-negative group with 602 patients. According to their conditions on admission， the two groups were compared in terms of the distribution of clinical types， i.e.， chronic progression-type PBC， portal hypertension-type PBC， and standard jaundice/liver failure-type PBC. There were 261 patients with complete data after 1-year follow-up， among whom there were 53 patients with positive ACA and 208 with negative ACA. A statistical analysis was performed， and propensity score matching was performed based on sex and age at a ratio of 1∶2. The two groups were compared in terms of 1-year UDCA response rate， GLOBE score， and UK-PBC score before and after matching. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsCompared with the ACA-negative group， the ACA-positive group had a significantly higher age （61.28±10.35 years vs 56.74±12.17 years， t=4.164， P<0.001）， a significantly higher proportion of female patients （93.9% vs 77.6%， χ²=20.221， P<0.001）， a significantly higher proportion of patients with portal hypertension （48.3% vs 27.6%， χ²=23.289， P<0.001）， and a significantly lower proportion of patients with jaundice/liver failure （24.5% vs 38.5%， χ²=10.205， P<0.001）. After 1-year follow-up， for the 261 PBC patients with complete data， there was no significant difference in UDCA response rate before propensity score matching between the ACA-positive group and the ACA-negative group （41.5% vs 41.8%， P>0.05）， and there was a significant difference in the proportion of patients with a GLOBE score of >0.3 between the ACA-positive group and the ACA-negative group （92.5% vs 80.3%， χ²=3.935， P=0.047）. There were 53 patients in the ACA-positive group and 106 patients in the ACA-negative group after propensity score matching， and there were no significant differences between the two groups in UDCA response rate， GLOBE score， and UK-PBC score （all P>0.05）. ConclusionACA-positive patients tend to have an older age， with a higher proportion of female patients or patients with portal hypertension， while there is a relatively low proportion of patients with jaundice/liver failure. Positive ACA has no significant impact on UDCA response rate， GLOBE score， and UK-PBC score.

Objective: To investigate the attention cognitive function and symptom correlations of school aged children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)using event related potential (ERP) technology, so as to provide references for the early diagnosis of children with ADHD. Methods: A total of 52 school aged children diagnosed with ADHD at the outpatient department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2022 to September 2024 and 50 age /sex matched healthy controls were selected. The ERP experiment adopted the auditory Oddball task to conduct comparative analyses of the amplitude and latency of the mismatch negative(MMN) at the Fz, Cz, and Pz points of the scalp electrode and the P3a component respectively. The symptom assessment scales adopted the Swanson,Nolan,and Pelham-Ⅳ Rating Scale (SNAP-Ⅳ) and the Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ), which were filled out by the parents. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between ERP components and symptoms in schoolaged children with ADHD. Results: The latency of MMN components in the healthy control group on the Fz lead was (188.30±2.06)ms, and the amplitude was (-15.54±1.35)μV; the latency of the P3a component on the Pz lead was (312.82±7.80)ms, and the amplitude was (3.80±0.18)μV. The latency of MMN components in the ADHD group on the Fz lead was (188.94±1.39)ms, and the amplitude was (-14.78±1.40)μV; the latency of the P3a component on the Pz lead was (317.21±5.65)ms, and the amplitude was (3.70±0.13)μV. Compared with normal children, the MMN of children with ADHD had smaller amplitudes in the Fz and Cz leads, and the P3a had greater latency and smaller amplitudes in the Cz and Pz leads ( t =2.79,2.20；-2.04，-3.25；2.35,3.21， P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the latency of MMN in children with ADHD was positively correlated with the inattention score in the SNAP-Ⅳ( r =0.22), and the amplitude of MMN was negatively correlated with the inattention score in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the learning problem score in PSQ ( r = -0.26 , -0.34)( P <0.05). The latency of P3a was positively correlated with the scores of inattention in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the score of learning problems in the PSQ ( r =0.26 ,0.24); the amplitude of P3a was negatively correlated with the scores of attention deficit and hyperactivity/impulsivity in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the scores of learning problems and impulsivity/hyperactivity in the PSQ( r = -0.26 , -0.22, -0.25,-0.32)( P <0.05). Conclusions School aged ADHD children exhibit abnormal MMN/P3a components, indicating attention related cognitive dysfunction. Symptoms such as inattention, learning problems and hyperactivity/impulsivity in children with ADHD are related to abnormal components of MMN and P3a.

Objective To investigate the differences in clinical features between the primary biliary cholangitis(PBC)patients with negative or positive anti-mitochondrial antibody(AMA)by analyzing related immune and biochemical parameters.Methods This study was conducted among the patients who attended Beijing Ditan Hospital,Capital Medical University,from January 2013 to December 2022 and were diagnosed with PBC,and they were divided into AMA negative group with 139 patients(24.5%)and AMA positive group with 428 patients(75.5%).Propensity score matching at a ratio of 1∶1 was performed with age and sex as matching factors and a matching tolerance of 0.06.Liver function,coagulation,and immune parameters on admission were analyzed,as well as the changes in liver function and other indicators after 6 months of treatment and the response to ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA)at 6 and 12 months of treatment.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups,and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups;the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.Results There were 139 AMA-negative PBC patients and 139 AMA-positive PBC patients after propensity score matching.Compared with the AMA positive group on admission,the AMA negative group had significantly lower levels of direct bilirubin and globulin(Glo)and significantly higher levels of albumin,albumin/globulin ratio,prealbumin,and fibrinogen(all P<0.05).After 6 months of UDCA treatment,there were significant differences in Glo and prealbumin between the AMA negative group and the AMA positive group(P<0.05).Both the AMA negative group and the AMA positive group had an increase in prealbumin after 6 months of treatment,and the AMA negative group had a significantly greater increase than the AMA positive group(U=41.00,P=0.015).After UDCA treatment for 6 and 12 months,there was no significant difference in treatment response to UDCA between the AMA negative group and the AMA positive group(all P>0.05).Conclusion After matching for age and sex,compared with the AMA-positive PBC patients,the AMA-negative PBC patients tend to have a milder degree of liver inflammation and damage,significantly greater improvements in inflammation and liver synthesis ability after UDCA treatment,and better response to UDCA.

Objective:To evaluate the item properties and applicability of the eHealth Literacy Scale in Web 3.0 context (eHLS-Web 3.0) among diabetic patients by applying classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) to provide a new effective tool for assessing the level of eHealth literacy among diabetic patients.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was adopted and 230 diabetic patients from the inpatient endocrinology department of the Affiliated Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of Qingdao University were selected by convenience sampling from November 2022 to May 2023 and were surveyed by using the self-general information questionnaire and eHLS-Web 3.0. The correlation coefficient method, Cronbach α coefficient, Guttman split-half reliability coefficient, and structural validity in CCT were used, and discriminant validity, convergent validity, and Samejima Graded Response model in IRT were used to evaluate the scale items. Results:The CTT results showed that Cronbach α coefficient for the eHLS-Web 3.0 was 0.973, the Guttman split-half reliability coefficient was 0.894, and the correlation coefficient between the items and the total score of the scale ranged from 0.708 to 0.845 (all P<0.01). Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 76.75%, and the confirmatory factor analysis model had a good fit. The reliability of each dimension combination was >0.60, and the average variance extracted was >0.50. The square root of the average variance extracted from each dimension (0.817, 0.875, 0.845) was greater than the correlation coefficient between this dimension and other dimensions (0.742, 0.763, 0.715). The IRT results showed that the discrimination parameter of all the items ranged from 2.174 to 4.054, the difficulty coefficients increased with the increase of the level (- 2.471 - 2.187), and the average information content of all the items ranged from 1.217 to 2.609. Conclusions:The eHLS-Web 3.0 has good characteristics among diabetic patients as tested by CTT and IRT, and can be used as an effective tool to assess the eHealth literacy level of diabetic patients in China.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of Tension-free laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh for pelvic organ prolapse.Methods A total of 85 patients who underwent pelvic organ prolapse were selected as the study group,and 40 patients underwent Laparoscopic sacral fixation surgery(LSC)as the control group in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March 1,2021 to October 31,2023.The patients were divided into two subgroups:uterine preservation group and uterine resection group and followed up until April 30,2024.The intra-operative conditions and postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed.POP quantitative staging(POP-Q)scores were used for evaluation.Preoperative and postoperative quality of life and therapeutic effect were evaluated using the pelvic floor distress inventory short form-20(PFDI-20),urinary distress inventory-6(UDI-6),colorectal-anal distress inventory-8(CRADI-8),pelvic organ prolapse distress inventory-6(POPDI-6),pelvic floor impact questionnaire-7(PFIQ-7),prolapse and Incontinence sexual function questionnaire short form(PISQ-12).Results The median follow-up time for patients in the study group is 13.13 months,with an objective cure rate of 96.47%and a reoperation rate of 1.18%.The perioperative complication rates are 6.45%for uterine resection and 4.35%for uterine preservation,while the mesh exposure rate is 1.61%for uterine resection.In comparison,the median follow-up time for patients in the control group is slightly longer at 13.76 months,with an objective cure rate of 92.5%and a reoperation rate of 2.5%.The perioperative complication rates are higher at 14.71%for uterine resection and as high as 33.33%for uterine preservation,while the mesh exposure rate is also elevated at 8.82%for uterine resection.Despite these differences,there was no significant disparity in objective cure rates or reoperation rates between the study group and the control group.Furthermore,it was observed that the study group experienced shorter operation times,less bleeding,faster postoperative recovery,shorter hospitalization periods,lower perioperative complications,and reduced mesh exposure rates-especially among patients with uterine preservation.Additionally,intra-group comparisons revealed significant improvements in all POP-Q indicators one year after surgery(P<0.05),along with significantly lower scores on PFDI-20,UDI-6,CRADI-8,POPDI-6,PFIQ-7,and PISQ-12 scales com-pared to pre-surgery levels(P<0.05).However,no significant inter-group differences were noted.Conclusions Tension-free laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh proves to be an effective surgical approach for treating ante-riorand middle pelvic organ prolapse.It demonstrates few perioperative complications while significantly improving prolapse symptoms and enhancing patient qualityof life.It stands as a viable alternative to sacrocolpopexy,particu-larly beneficial for patients with a preserved uterus.

Objective: To analyze the current situation and research update on campus air quality in China, and to provide reference for effective campus environment improvement. Methods: The documents of China national knowledge internet (CNKI) from 1980 to 2020 were extracted and the key words related to campus air quality were analyzed by CiteSpace software. Microorganisms, formaldehyde and benzene were selected, data of 200 literatures were classified and sorted out in different functional areas. Results: Studies on campus air quality in China has been increasing gradually since 2004, especially focusing on indoor air, PM 2.5 and benzene series. The primary microorganism in the air environment of Chinese campuses was bacteria with the concentration of 2 309.31 cfu/m 3 . The ranking of the overall load of bacteria in air of different functional areas was consistent with that of microorganisms: living service area > landscape leisure area > public transport area > scientific research and teaching area > administrative office area > sports activity area. The average value of microbial indicators in indoor air of computer room, office area and campus living areas were more likely exceed the standard. The formaldehyde concentration in the computer room and reading room was high. The health of students exposed to formaldehyde and benzene on campus evaluated by using the evaluation model of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proved out to be in the safe range. Conclusion The concentrations of microorganisms, formaldehyde and benzene in campus environment mostly meet the requirements. Further measures need to be taken to reduce microbial concentration and strengthen formaldehyde monitoring and pollution source management in computer room and reading room.

In this study, we aimed to construct a non-replication mRNA platform and explore the side effects of electroporation-mediated delivery of mRNA on the mice as well as the expression features of the mRNA. With luciferase gene as a marker, in vitro transcription with T7 RNA polymerase was carried out for the synthesis of luciferase-expressed mRNA, followed by enzymatic capping and tailing. The mRNA was delivered in vivo by electroporation via an in vivo gene delivery system, and the expression intensity and duration of luciferase in mice were observed via an in vivo imaging system. The results demonstrated that the mRNA transcripts were successfully expressed both in vitro and in vivo. The electroporation-mediated delivery of mRNA had no obvious side effects on the mice. Luciferase was expressed successfully in all the mRNA-transduced mice, while the expression intensity and duration varied among individuals. Overall, the expression level peaked on the first day after electroporation and rapidly declined on the fourth day. This study is of great importance for the construction of non-replication mRNAs and their application in vaccine or antitumor drug development.
