ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） compound Chaiqin Xiaoyong Decoction （柴芩消痈饮， CXD） combined with Jinhuang Ointment （金黄膏， JO） in treating the nodular stage of acne mastitis of liver meridian heat accumulation type. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 108 patients with liver meridian heat accumulation type acne mastitis in the nodular stage were randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group， with 54 patients in each group. Both groups received topical application of JO once daily at a thickness of 3~5 mm for 8 hours， along with standard nursing care. On this basis， the treatment group received oral CXD granules， while the control group received placebo granules， administered twice daily， 3 sachets per dose， for 14 consecutive days. Clinical efficacy， TCM symptom scores， nodule size， visual analogue scale （VAS） pain scores， white blood cell （WBC） count， C-reactive protein （CRP） level， and systemic immune-inflammation index （SII） were compared. At the end of treatment， efficacy and safety indicators were evaluated. A 6-month follow-up was conducted to compare the proportion of patients undergoing surgical treatment. ResultsThe total clinical efficacy rate in the treatment group was 90.38% （47/52）， significantly higher than 32.00% （16/50） in the control group （P＜0.01）. The treatment group also showed significantly lower TCM symptom scores， VAS scores， nodule size， WBC count， CRP level， and SII （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. During follow-up， the surgical intervention rate in the treatment group was 5.77% （3/52）， lower than 14.00% （7/50） in the control group， with a statistically significant difference （P＜0.01）. No significant abnormalities were observed in safety indicators before and after treatment in either group. ConclusionCXD effectively reduces nodule size and alleviates symptoms such as redness and pain in patients with acne mastitis of liver meridian heat accumulation type， improves TCM symptom scores， enhances overall clinical efficacy， and demonstrates good safety.

Objective: To investigate the impact of preschool children s aquatic motor skill (AMS) acquisition on their fundamental motor skill (FMS) development and the correlation between AMS and FMS development, so ao to provide a scientific basis for early childhood education and physical education teaching. Methods: From April to June 2024, 60 children, recruited by random sampling from a kindergarten in Taiyuan, were stratified randomly divided into an experimental group ( n =30) and a control group ( n =30). The experimental group were further divided into five classes of six each. They received AMS practice interventions twice weekly, 40 minutes per session, over eight weeks (16 sessions total) at a designated swimming center. The control group maintained their usual routine. Children s FMS and AMS were assessed pre and post intervention using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3rd (TGMD3) and Actual Aquatic Skills Test (AAST), respectively. Before and after test comparisons within and between groups employed t-tests, Wilcoxon signedrank tests, ANCOVA (including ranktransformed ANCOVA), and Cohen s d effect sizes were calculated for standardized mean differences. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze relationships between FMS and AMS. Results: After the aquatic learning, the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group on locomotor skills ( F=20.47, P <0.01, η 2=0.26), FMS ( F=4.59, P =0.04, η 2=0.08), and AMS ( F=109.71, P<0.01, η 2=0.79). The experimental groups improvement in locomotor skills 5.0(3.8, 7.3) versus the control group (2.8±2.5) yielded a medium effect size (Cohen s d =0.71); AMS gains in the experimental group [26.0(20.8, 28.0)] versus controls [1.0(0, 2.3)] showed a very large effect size (Cohen s d =4.73) (both P <0.01). Among preschool children, AMS acquisition was positively correlated with locomotor skills ( r =0.39) and overall FMS ( r =0.43)(both P <0.05). Skill specific assessments revealed lower proficiency in headfirst entry (immersion), treading water, and sagittalplane rotation. Conclusion Preschool children s acquisition of AMS has a positive effect on their FMS, with mutual facilitation between the two, especially in locomotor abilities.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and changing trends of non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behaviors among middle school students in Jiading District of Shanghai, from 2015 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for the development of NSSI prevention and control measures among students. Methods: Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, a total of five times for Shanghai Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Surveys were conducted for every two years in Jiading District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2023. A total of 5 231 middle school students from junior high schools and senior high schools were selected for questionnaire surveys. Intergroup comparisons were performed using the x 2 test or the χ 2 trend test, and the JointPoint 5.0 software was used to analyze the changing trends, with the annual percent change (APC) used for evaluation. A binary Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the related factors of NSSI behavior among middle school students. Results: In 2023, the reported NSSI rate among middle school students in Jiading District was 14.2%. The rate was significantly higher among junior high school students (17.1%) than that among senior high school students (11.1%), and higher among females (19.2%) than that among males (10.0%) ( χ 2=10.04, 23.21, both P <0.01). From 2015 to 2023, the overall reported NSSI rate showed an increasing trend, rising from 8.6% in 2015 to 14.2% in 2023 ( χ 2 trend =22.25), with an APC of 6.64% ( t =3.49), and the APC for girls was 9.79 % ( t =3.20) (all P <0.05). Among students reporting NSSI, the proportion experiencing ≥6 episodes increased from 10.8% in 2015 to 19.2% in 2023 ( χ 2 trend =6.57, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that girls, junior high school students, those with insomnia, depressive emotion and drinkers had higher risks of NSSI, compared to boys, senior high school students, those without insomnia, non depressive emotion students and non drinkers ( OR =1.71, 1.96, 3.44, 4.76, 1.77, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions The reported rate of NSSI among middle school students in Jiading District of Shanghai, increased annually from 2015 to 2023, and the proportion of repeated NSSI also showed an upward trend. Early intervention measures targeting middle school students, especially junior high school students and females, should be implemented to prevent and control its occurrence and development.

Objective To explore the predictive effect of family functioning on mobile phone dependency and clarify the mediating role of peer relationships and self-esteem.Methods A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to collect data related to family functioning,self-esteem,and mobile phone dependency of 1 326 middle school students.SPSS 25.0 software was used to describe the data statistically and compare the differences among the demographic characteristics.Mplus 8.3 software was used to test the mediating effect of self-esteem on family functioning and mobile phone dependency of middle school students and the moderating effect of peer relation-ships.Results Family functioning negatively predicted the mobile phone dependency of middle school students(β=-0.291;95%CI:-0.361--0.224;P<0.001),self-esteem mediated the relationship between family functioning and mobile phone dependency(β=-0.066;95%CI:-0.096--0.044;P<0.001),and peer relationship moderated the mediating role of self-esteem between family func-tioning and mobile phone dependency(β= 0.117;95%CI:0.046-0.188;P= 0.001).Conclusion Family functioning directly affected mobile phone dependency and impacted mobile phone dependency through self-esteem.The mediating effect of self-esteem increases as peer relationships improve.

Objective:To test the hypothesis that Pertussis toxin (PTX) can promote the occurrence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in experimental autoimmune myositis (EAM) model and clarify the potential pathogenic mechanism.Methods:EAM mice model were induced by Skeletal muscle thomogenate with or without PTX, and the relationship between ILD phenotypes and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) infiltration was analyzed by histopathological and serological studies in EAM with PTX group and EAM without PTX group. Healthy mice were given PTX alone intraperitoneally to clarify whether NETs formation could be induced in vivo, and neutrophils separated from healthy human blood were intervened with PTX to induce NETs formation in vitro. The data was tested for normality using Shapiro-Wilk. Statistical methods and were analyzed using t-test or ANOVA, and multiple comparisons between different groups were tested using Tukey test. Results:Compared with EAM without PTX group, lung tissues in EAM with PTX group had multiple pathological changes similar to polymyositis/dermatomyositis-related ILD. Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia and usual interstitial pneumonia were the main pathological types. The pulmonary interstitial lesions were accompanied by significant infiltration of NETs; and serum NETs markers levels were obviously elevated in EAM with PTX group, compared with the control group [ n=5, (87±10) ng/ml], cfDNA levels were statistically significantly elevated in both the EAM without PTX group [ n=4, (115±27) ng/ml] and the EAM with PTX group [ n=7, (150±50) ng/ml] ( F=4.24, P=0.038); Cit-H3-DNA levels were elevated in the EAM without PTX group ( n=4, 0.24±0.09), and in the EAM EAM with PTX group ( n=6, 0.33±0.11) compared with the control group ( n=4, 0.13±0.02) ( F=6.21, P=0.016). After PTX intervention, serum cfDNA levels were higher in the PTX group [ n=3, (100±40) ng/ml] than in the control group [ n=3, (45±12) ng/ml, t=2.27, P=0.086]; PTX also induced neutrophils to form NETs in vitro. Conclusion:PTX may promote the development of ILD in EAM mice model by inducing the formation of NETs, indicating that EAM mice can serve as a model for targeting NETs to study the pathogenesis ILD.

ObjectiveTo analyze the prevalence of myopia among the primary school students in Shanghai, and to explore its relationship with sleep duration and sleep quality, providing references for precise myopia prevention. MethodsA cross-sectional survey and random sampling were employed. Between April and May 2023, a total of 1 889 students from grades 1 to 5 in Jiading District, Shanghai, were selected for vision testing and a questionnaire on children’s sleeping habits and relevant factors were conducted using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) in Chinese. The relationship between myopia and sleep patterns was analyzed using chi-square tests and a multivariate logistic regression model. ResultsThe overall myopia rate among the primary school students in Jiading District, Shanghai, was 35.6%. The results of univariate analysis showed that in the myopia group, the incidences of sleep disturbance and sleep anxiety were lower compared to children without myopia, while the incidences of sleep continuity and parasomnias were higher than there in the non-myopia group (χ²=12.816, 10.292, 10.971, 3.917, all P<0.05). Additionally, among the elementary school students with an average daily sleep duration of less than 10 hours, the prevalence of myopia was higher. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that factors such as being female (OR=1.291, 95%CI: 1.044‒1.597), higher grade levels (2^nd grade: OR=2.174, 95%CI: 1.471‒3.212; 3^rd grade:OR=3.850, 95%CI: 2.648‒5.598; 4^th grade: OR=8.906, 95%CI: 6.154‒12.890; 5^th grade: OR=12.299, 95%CI: 8.433‒17.937), having one parent (OR=2.250, 95%CI: 1.757‒2.881) or both parents(OR=3.623, 95%CI: 2.719‒4.827) with myopia, and parasomnias (OR=1.518, 95%CI: 1.065‒2.163) were associated with a higher detection rate of myopia. ConclusionThe prevalence of myopia is notably high among the primary school students in Jiading District, Shanghai, and there is an association between the occurrence of myopia and parasomnias.

Objective: To study the impact of sleep characteristics on myopia, among lower primary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide foundation for the prevention of the onset and development of myopia. Methods: A total of 636 students from the first and second grades of two primary schools in Jiading District, Shanghai, were selected through cluster random sampling for questionnaire surveys and ophthalmological examinations in October 2022. The Childrens Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep quality at baseline. Ophthalmological examinations were conducted in October 2023(479), during which the students study time, screen time and outdoor activity time were monitored for twoweek, repeated twice. Generalized multivariable Logistic regression models and linear regression models were employed to examine the association between sleeprelated factors and myopia, as well as the strength of this association. Results: The baseline survey indicated a myopia prevalence of 18.58%, with 17.18% at followup. The average CSHQ total score was (51.58±4.44), and the average daily sleep duration was (9.43±4.84)h/d, with only 11.6% of participants meeting the recommended sleep sufficiency. Multivariable regression models indicated that insufficient sleep showed positive association with myopia (OR=1.64, 95%CI=1.05-2.56), while bedtime duration was significantly negative associated with myopia (OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.63-0.91, P＜0.05), adjusting for confounding factors. Inconsistency in bed rest time was a risk factor for myopia (OR=1.07, P<0.05), and the consistency of bed rest time, and wakeup time showed statistically significant correlations with SE (P<0.05). There was also statistically significant correlations between consistency in sleep time, bed rest time, and wakeup time with AL (P<0.05). Conclusions Insufficient sleep and bedtime duration are correlated with the onset and progression of myopia. It is critical to ensure sufficient sleep duration and regular sleep habits for children to reduce the occurrence of myopia in the primary school students.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics and trends of influenza‑like illness (ILI) in Jiading District from 2013 to 2023, to explore the prevalence patterns, so as to provide a scientific basis for a better prevention and control of influenza. MethodsData of ILI cases, pathogenetic surveillance results and pathogen detection data from influenza surveillance network laboratories in Jiading District from 2013 to 2023 were collected for statistical analysis. ResultsFrom 2013 to 2023, the overall proportion of medical visits for ILI cases in Jiading District was 2.70%. ILI cases were mainly distributed in the age group of ≥25 years, with a seasonal prevalence characteristic, mainly concentrated in the winter and spring, with an occasional small peak in the summer. A total of 12 423 specimens were tested for pathogenetic surveillance and monitoring, 3 651 of which were tested positive for nucleic acid detection, with a positive rate of 29.39%. The dominant strain was influenza A (H3N2) virus, accounting for 55.05%. There were statistical significant differences in the positive detection rates by different streets and townships(χ²=24.73，P<0.05）. The influenza network laboratory isolated and cultured influenza viruses from 3 154 nucleic acid‑positive samples sent by national influenza sentinel surveillance hospitals using 2 methodsMadin‑Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and specific pathogen free (SPF) chicken embryos, respectively, with a total isolation rate of 39.51%, and the isolation rate of MDCK cells (35.45%) was higher than that of SPF chicken embryos (5.36%). From 2013 to 2023, a total of 14 ILI outbreaks were reported in Jiading District, mainly in primary schools, kindergartens and secondary schools. ConclusionInfluenza in Jiading District, Shanghai, is mainly prevalent in the winter and spring, with different subtypes of influenza viruses alternating or co⁃circulating in different monitoring year. It is recommended to promote influenza vaccination, further improve influenza prevention and control measures, enhance health promotion to the age group of ≥25 years in winter and spring, and strengthen surveillance and monitoring on ILI outbreaks in collective units such as primary schools and childcare institutions, so as to reduce the disease burden.

Trastuzumab has improved survival rates in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive breast cancer(BC),but drug resistance leads to treatment failure.Natural killer(NK)cell-mediated antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity(ADCC)represents an essential antitumor immune mechanism of trastuzumab.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has been used for centuries to treat diseases because of its capacity to improve immune responses.Xianling Lianxia formula(XLLXF),based on the principle of"strengthening body and eliminating toxin",exhibits a synergistic effect in the trastuzumab treatment of patients with HER2-positive BC.Notably,this synergistic effect of XLLXF was executed by enhancing NK cells and ADCC,as demonstrated through in vitro co-culture of NK cells and BC cells and in vivo inter-vention experiments.Mechanistically,the augmented impact of XLLXF on NK cells is linked to a decrease in cytokine inducible Src homology 2(SH2)containing protein(CISH)expression,which in turn activates the Janus kinase 1(JAK1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 5(STAT5)pathway.Collectively,these findings suggested that XLLXF holds promise for enhancing NK cell function and sensitizing pa-tients with HER2-positive BC to trastuzumab.

Objective To investigate the progress of two-dimensional echocardiographic parameters in patients with different severity of aortic stenosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was per-formed on 96 patients diagnosed with aortic stenosis with at least 2 times of transthoracic echo-cardiography(interval ≥1 year)in Department of Cardiology,Fourth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2017 to December 2023.According to aortic stenosis severity,they were divided into a mild group(72 cases),a moderate group(14 cases)and a severe group(10 cases).Peak pressure gradient(PPG)across aortic valve,Vmax,mean aortic valve pressure gradient(ΔPm),pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP)were collected,and the changes and annual progress of these echocardiographic parameters at baseline and before and after follow-up were analyzed.Results The values of IVST,LVPWT,Vmax,aortic valve PPG and ΔPm were sig-nificantly increased in the mild,moderate and severe stenosis groups in turn(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The values of Vmax,PPG and ΔPm were significantly lower in the mild stenosis group than the moderate and severe stenosis groups,and the LVPWT value was obviously lower in the mild ste-nosis group than the severe stenosis group(P＜0.05).The aortic valve PPG and ΔPm values at follow-up were significantly higher than those before the follow-up in the three stenosis groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).After follow-up,the Vmax values in mild and moderate stenosis groups were notably higher than before(P＜0.01).The PASP value at follow-up was significantly higher than before in the severe stenosis group(P＜0.05).The annual progression rate of Vmax,PASP,LVEF were gradually increased in the mild,moderate,and severe stenosis groups(P＞0.05).The annual progression rate of ΔPm was gradually increased in the three groups in turn(2.30±1.77 mm Hg/year vs 2.40±1.18 mm Hg/year vs 6.08±1.70 mm Hg/year,P＜0.05).Conclusion As the severity of baseline aortic stenosis increases,obvious changes are observed in cardiac structure and function.Before and after follow-up,the serious the aortic stenosis severity is,the faster the annual progression rates of Vmax,PPG,LVEF and PASP are.
