Objective To investigate the composition of symptom clusters in early postoperative breast cancer patients and analyze the sentinel symptoms of each cluster of symptoms. Methods A total of 309 patients who underwent mastectomy were conveniently sampled and surveyed using the Chinese version of the Anderson Symptom Inventory. Principal component analysis and varimax orthogonal rotation were employed to analyze the symptom clusters, and their associations were analyzed using the Apriori algorithm model to identify the sentinel symptoms of each cluster of symptoms. Results Three symptom clusters were identified in early postoperative breast cancer patients: neuro-sleep symptom cluster [fatigue (weakness)-distress-pain-sleepiness-restless sleep], sensory-perception symptom cluster (numbness-forgetfulness-shortness of breath-sadness-dry mouth), and digestive system symptom cluster (nausea-vomiting-loss of appetite). Fatigue was the sentinel symptom of the neuro-sleep symptom cluster, numbness was the sentinel symptom of the sensory-perception symptom cluster, and nausea was the sentinel symptom of the digestive system symptom cluster. Conclusion Early postoperative breast cancer patients experience multiple symptom clusters, with sentinel symptoms existing in each cluster. Healthcare staff should develop intervention measures based on sentinel symptoms to improve the efficiency of symptom management and reduce the degree of symptom distress for patients.

Objective:To isolate and culture WU polyomavirus (WUPyV), and to analyze the genome-wide evolutionary patterns, homology and population dynamics.Methods:Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the nasopharyngeal aspirate samples of hospitalized children with respiratory tract infection in Beijing Friendship Hospital during 2020 to 2022. Primary human airway epithelial cells cultured at the air-liquid interface were used to isolate and culture WUPyV. Whole genome sequence of the isolated strain was obtained by Sanger sequencing. For phylogenetic and evolutionary dynamics analysis, the whole genome was compared with the published whole genome sequences in GenBank database.Results:The detection rate of WUPyV was 4.7% (31/659) during 2020 to 2022, and a clinical strain BJ0593 of WUPyV type Ⅲc was successfully isolated. The homology of the whole genome and gene fragments of WUPyV was high. The average evolutionary rate of VP2 gene was about 1.256×10 -4 substitution/site every year, and the population dynamics of WUPyV tended to be flat in the last decade. Conclusions:This study successfully isolated a clinical WUPyV type Ⅲ strain for the first time, which provided the basis for further investigation on the molecular evolution and pathogenicity of WUPyV.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(9):1407-1411
Objective:
To explore the gene lifestyle interaction of ATP2B1-eNOS pathway gene polymorphisms on blood pressure.
Methods:
Using the convenient cluster sampling method, a total of 872 junior middle school students from 3 school in July to August 2019, were included in the final analysis. The survey included questionnaire investigation, anthropometry measurement and blood sample collection. After DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples, the gene polymorphisms ( ATP2B1 gene rs 17249754 and rs 2070759, eNOS gene rs 1799983 and rs 2070744) were genotyped. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between gene polymorphism and blood pressure phenotypes.
Results:
The prevalence of high blood pressure was 9.52 % in adolescents(9.15% in boys and 9.87% in girls),with no significant sex difference ( χ 2=0.13, P =0.72). There were statistically significant differences between boys and girls in age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI) classification, birth weight, daily school physical exercise time and daily playing video games time ( P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that, eNOS gene rs 2070744 polymorphism was associated with high blood pressure (HBP) under the recessive model, and the risk of HBP in CC genotype carriers were higher than that TT/TC genotype carriers ( OR=3.88, 95%CI =1.00-15.02, P < 0.05 ). The results of gene lifestyle interaction showed that ATP2B1 gene rs 2070759 polymorphism gene had an interaction with the time of physical exercise in school ( P interaction =0.05). In the subgroup with daily physical exercise time at sch ool <1 hour , the TT/TG genotype carriers were associated with increased risk of HBP compared with GG genotype carriers( OR= 2.65 , 95%CI =1.11-6.30, P <0.05). But in the subgroup with daily physical exercise time in school ≥1 hour, rs 2070759 was not significantly associated with HBP.
Conclusion
eNOS/rs 2070744 polymorphisms are associated with risk of HBP among adolescents. There is significant interaction between ATP2B1 gene rs 2070759 polymorphism and physical exercise time in school on HBP. Adolescents should spend more time on physical activity in school, which will help to maintain normal blood pressure level.
