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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of kinesin family member 15 (KIF15) on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and its mechanism of action. MethodsTCGA and GEPIA datasets were analyzed to determine the expression of KIF15 in HCC and its effect on tumor stage and survival. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression level of KIF15 in human-derived HCC cell lines (HepG2, Hep3B, MHCC-97H, and LM3) and human normal liver cell line L02 cultured in vitro, and Hep3B and HepG2 were selected for subsequent studies. CCK-8 assay, plate colony formation assay, and EdU staining were performed for Hep3B cells transfected with shRNA-NC or shRNA-KIF15 and HepG2 cells transfected with LV-vector or LV-KIF15 to evaluate the viability and proliferative capacity of these cells. GSEA was used to analyze the potential signaling pathways associated with KIF15 in HCC, and Western blot was used for detection. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThe analysis of TCGA and GEPIA datasets showed that in HCC patients, the expression of KIF15 in HCC tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissue, and the HCC patients with high KIF15 expression tended to have a poorer prognosis. Compared with sh-NC-Hep3B, sh3-Hep3B showed significant reductions in the mRNA and protein levels of KIF15 (P<0.05), cell viability, clone formation number, and EdU positive rate (all P<0.05). Compared with vector-HepG2, LV-KIF15-HepG2 showed significant increases in the mRNA and protein levels of KIF15 (P<0.05), cell viability, clone formation number, and EdU positive rate (all P<0.05). Subcutaneous tumor assay showed that compared with sh-NC-Hep3B, sh3-Hep3B showed reductions in tumor volume and tumor weight, as well as a significant reduction in the immunohistochemical score of Ki67 and a significant increase in the immunohistochemical score of TUNEL (P<0.05). GSEA analysis showed that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was positively correlated with KIF15 in HCC (NES=1.59, P<0.001). Western blot showed that LY294002 could inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway upregulated in LV-KIF15-HepG2, and compared with LV-KIF15-HepG2, LY294002+LV-KIF15-HepG2 showed significant reductions in cell viability, clone formation number, and EdU positive rate (all P<0.05). ConclusionKIF15 enhances the viability and proliferative capacity of HCC cells by upregulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:
To investigate protective effects of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on ethanol-induced DNA damage in L02 cells, so as to provide the evidence for adjuvant therapy of NMN on alcoholic liver diseases.
Methods:
L02 cells were pretreated with different concentrations of NMN (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 mmol/L) for 6 h, and then were exposed to 0.4% ethanol for 12 h. The treated cells were divided into the control group, 0.4% ethanol group and different concentrations of NMN groups. Cell viability was analyzed using trypan blue staining for determining the concentration of NMN as a protective agent. The effects of NMN on ethanol-induced DNA damage in L02 cells were evaluated using immunofluorescence detection and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay. L02 cells were exposed to 0.4% ethanol for 12 h, cultured in a medium containing a protective concentration of NMN, and divided into PBS group and NMN group. Cell viability was detected at 0, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 h, and the effects of NMN on repairing ethanol-induced DNA damage were evaluated by alkaline comet assay.
Results:
The cell viability was lower in 0.4% ethanol group than than in the control group, and was higher in different concentrations of NMN groups than in 0.4% ethanol group (all P<0.05), with no significant difference in the cells viability between 4 mmol/L and higher concentrations of NMN groups and the control group (all P>0.05). Therefore, 4 mmol/L NMN was selected as a protective agent. The cell tail moments, relative immunofluorescence intensities of γH2AX and relative levels of ROS were higher in 0.4% ethanol group than in the control group, and lower in 4 mmol/L and higher concentrations of NMN groups than in 0.4% ethanol group (all P<0.05). The cell viability was increased and the cell tail moment was shortened with the increase of 4 mmol/L NMN intervention time; and the cell viability in 4 h and more of NMN groups were higher, and the cell tail moment were lower than that in PBS group (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
NMN attenuates DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner and promotes the repair of DNA damage in a time-dependent manner. NMN has a protective effect on ethanol-induced DNA damage in hepatocytes.

【Objective】 To discuss the effect of adding tranexamic acid(TXA) during surgery on blood loss and security during short segment lumbar spinal stenosis surgery. 【Methods】 One hundred and eight patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who were to undergo lumbar posterior fusion surgery were randomly divided into control group, TXA group and adding TXA group, with 36 patients in each group. In the control group, TXA was not used during surgery.The TXA group received intravenous infusion of 100 mL normal saline mixture containing 1 g of TXA 15 minutes before surgery after anesthesia. In adding TXA group, after the same operation in TXA group, 10 mg/kg(body weight) of TXA was infused 3 hours later. Total perioperative blood loss, dominant blood loss, hidden blood loss, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and transfusion rate were recorded in the two groups. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit(HCT), prothrombin time international standardized ratio (PT-INR), prothrombin time(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), blood platelet count (BPC), D-dimer (D-D), fibringen(FIB), C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured 3 days before and after the surgery in the three groups. Postoperative adverse events were followed up. 【Results】 The total blood loss(mL) [(968.7±209.6) vs (1 369.8±276.3), (968.7±209.6) vs (1 273.9±250.2)], dominant blood loss(mL) [(590.5±164.3) vs (876.4±235.9), (590.5±164.3) vs (789.3±221.7)], intraoperative blood loss(mL) [(318.7±120.7) vs (457.8±146.6), (318.7±120.7) vs (423.9±162.3)] and postoperative drainage volume(mL) [1 day after surgery: (164.6±25.0) vs (262.3±51.7), (164.6±25.0) vs (219.8±37.1); 3 days after surgery: (107.2±18.6) vs (156.3±37.6), (107.2±18.6) vs (145.3±22.3)] of the adding TXA group were lower than those of the control group and TXA group (P<0.05), and the transfusion rate was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).The postoperative drainage volume and transfusion rate of TXA group were lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).There was no statistical difference in the amount of hidden blood loss between the three groups (P>0.05). Compared with the preoperative results, Hb, Hct and BPC in the three groups decreased (P<0.05), and D-D, FIB and CRP increased (P<0.05), but the change degree of Hb, Hct, BPC, D-D and CRP in the TXA group and the adding TXA group was less than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the change degree of Hb, Hct, BPC, D-D and CRP in the adding TXA group was less than that in the TXA group (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in PT-INR, PT, APTT, ALT and BUN between and within the three groups before and after surgery (P>0.05), and all of them were within the normal range. No serious adverse events such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, epilepsy, liver and kidney damage were found in all patients after postoperative follow-up. 【Conclusion】 Intraoperative addition of TXA can effectively reduce the amount of blood lost during short segment lumbar spinal stenosis surgery without increasing the risk of complications such as coagulation disorders, thrombosis, liver and kidney function damage.

Objective:To identify a novel reassortant H3N2 avian influenza virus using nanopore sequencing technology and analyze its genetic characteristics.Methods:The positive samples of the H3N2 avian influenza virus, collected from the external environment in the farmers' market of Guangzhou, were cultured in chicken embryos. The whole genome was sequenced by targeted amplification and nanopore sequencing technology. The genetic characteristics were analyzed using bioinformatics software.Results:The phylogenetic trees showed that each gene fragment of the strain belonged to the Eurasian evolutionary branch, and the host source was of avian origin. The HA gene was closely related to the origin of the H3N6 virus. The NA gene was closely related to the H3N2 avian influenza virus from 2017 to 2020. The PB1 gene was closely related to the H5N6 avian influenza virus in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Fujian Province from 2016 to 2022 and was not related to the PB1 gene of the H5N6 avian influenza epidemic strain in Guangzhou. The other internal gene fragments had complex sources with significant genetic diversity. Molecular characteristics indicated that the strain exhibited the molecular characteristics of a typical low pathogenic avian influenza virus and tended to bind to the receptors of avian origin. On important protein sites related to biological characteristics, this strain had mutations of PB2-L89V, PB1-L473V, NP-A184K, M1-N30D/T215A, and NS1-P42S/N205S.Conclusions:This study identified a novel reassortant H3N2 avian influenza virus by nanopore sequencing, with the PB1 gene derived from the H5N6 avian influenza virus. The virus had a low ability to spread across species, but further exploration was needed to determine whether its pathogenicity to the host was affected.

Objective:To investigate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in the diagnosis of suspected autoimmune encephalitis (AE) in children with epilepsy and negative MRI. Methods:From May 2019 to August 2022, 94 suspected AE children (49 males, 45 females; age 1-15 years) with epilepsy and negative MRI who underwent brain 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging at Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into AE and non-AE groups based on clinical final diagnosis. The effectiveness of visual diagnosis was evaluated. The cortical lesion extent score (S), and SUV max, SUV mean and minimum of SUV (SUV min) of cortical lesions (L), basal ganglia (B) and thalamus (T) were measured and SUV ratios (SUVR) of L/B or L/T were obtained. Independent-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze data. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to screen the diagnostic factors of AE, and a diagnostic model was established. The diagnostic efficiency was evaluated by ROC curve analysis and Delong test. Results:There were 53 cases in AE group and 41 cases in non-AE group. Based on visual analysis, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for AE were 100%(53/53), 43.9%(18/41) and 75.5%(71/94), respectively. Differences of LSUV max, LSUV mean, LSUV min, L/BSUVR max, L/BSUVR mean, L/BSUVR min, L/TSUVR max, L/TSUVR mean, L/TSUVR min and S between AE and non-AE groups were statistically significant ( z=-6.74, t values: from -8.51 to -3.97, all P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of L/BSUVR max was the highest (0.914) among visual analysis and semi-quantitative parameters. Logistic regression analysis showed that S (odds ratio ( OR)=11.40, 95% CI: 2.18-59.52, P=0.004), L/BSUVR max( OR=13.19, 95% CI: 2.11-82.51, P=0.006) and L/TSUVR max( OR=9.66, 95% CI: 1.57-59.55, P=0.015) were independent diagnostic factors for AE. Regression model was established: P=1/(1+ e - x), x=2.433×S+ 2.580×L/BSUVR max+ 2.267×L/TSUVR max-3.802. The AUC of this model was 0.948, with the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 98.1%(52/53), 90.2%(37/41) and 94.7%(89/94), respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of the optimized scoring system was consistent with the pre-optimization model, and were both superior to L/BSUVR max(both z=2.01, both P=0.040). Conclusion:The diagnostic model and scoring system based on the semi-quantitative analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT have better diagnostic efficacy for AE and are superior to semi-quantitative parameters alone.
