Objective: To analyze the change trends in the body shape indicators and proportions of students in Harbin from 2010 to 2024, and to investigate ergonomic compatibility of functional dimensions of school desks and chairs with current student shape indicators, so as to provide a reference for revising furniture standards of desks and chairs. Methods: Between September and November of both 2010 and 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was conducted across three districts in Harbin, yielding samples of 6 590 and 6 252 students, respectively. Anthropometric shape indicators cluding height, sitting height, crus length, and thigh length-and their proportional changes were compared over the 15-year period. The 2024 data were compared with current standard functional dimensions of school furniture. The statistical analysis incorporated t-test and Mann-Whitney U- test. Results: From 2010 to 2024, average height increased by 1.8 cm for boys and 1.5 cm for girls; sitting height increased by 1.5 cm for both genders; crus length increased by 0.3 cm for boys and 0.4 cm for girls; and thigh length increased by 0.5 cm for both genders. The ratios of sitting height to height, and sitting height to leg length increased by less than 0.1 . The difference between desk chair height and 1/3 sitting height ranged from 0.4-0.8 cm. Among students matched with size 0 desks and chairs, 22.0% had a desk to chair height difference less than 0, indicating that the desk to chair height difference might be insufficient for taller students. The differences between seat height and fibular height ranged from -1.4 to 1.1 cm; and the differences between seat depth and buttock popliteal length ranged from -9.8 to 3.4 cm. Among obese students, the differences between seat width and 1/2 hip circumference ranged from -20.5 to -8.7 cm, while it ranged from -12.2 to -3.8 cm among non obese students. Conclusion Current furniture standards basically satisfy hygienic requirements; however, in the case of exceptionally tall and obese students, ergonomic accommodations such as adaptive seating allocation or personalized adjustments are recommended to meet hygienic requirements.

Background Cold environments reduce work efficiency and increase the risk of frostbite. Objective To investigate the effects on cold protection and manual performance of rescue gloves in cold environments, and to preliminarily verify the feasibility of related quantitative characterization methods. Methods An experiment was conducted in a large and a small artificial climate chamber. 12 male right-handed university students were recruited. The experiment was divided into two parts, with 0-10 min as the baseline phase and 10-50 min as the test phase. Subjects sat quietly in a 16 ℃ large chamber, and hands were exposed to a small chamber at 0 ℃ either barely (control group) or with rescue gloves (experimental group). Skin temperatures of the five fingers (thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger), as well as the dorsal and palm of the hands were measured. In addition, grip strength, manual dexterity, maximum finger flexion, and tactile sensitivity of the hands were measured as the indicators of manual performance. Results In the control group, cold-induced vasodilation occurred when the skin temperature of the five fingers were lowered to about 10 ℃. The maximum rate of change in skin temperature of the control group was in the following order: thumb＞index finger＞middle finger＞little finger＞ring finger＞dorsal＞palm, 165.7 ℃·h⁻¹ in the thumb, 80.0 and 89.9 ℃·h⁻¹ in the palm and dorsal respectively. In addition, the minimum skin temperature of the thumb was 6.6 ℃. Compared with the control group: the rate of change of skin temperature in the experimentalgroup decreased by about 50%; the grip strength decreased by 15% after wearing the rescue gloves (P<0.05); no differences in manual dexterity, maximum finger flexion, and tactile sensitivity were statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion This study proved that the rescue gloves improved the thermal comfort of hands while better balancing the effect of cold exposure on manual performance. The quantitative characterization methods can evaluate the protective performance and manual performance of the rescue gloves, which provides a reliable theoretical foundation and reference basis for further experiments.

Antisense oligonucleotides are a type of gene therapy that targets mRNA and inhibits gene expression. They have been applied in the treatment of various diseases, but there are still problems with poor enzyme stability and high dosage in vivo, due to the shortage of appropriate delivery system. Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) is a cell surface receptor with tyrosine kinase activity. Its expression is abnormal in a variety of malignant tumors. It mediates the malignant proliferation, migration and invasion of tumor cells through a variety of ways. In this study, an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO, N04) targeting IGF1R mRNA was designed and chemically modified (PS, 2'-OMOE), then neutral cytidine lipid DNCA and cystine backbone cationic lipid CLD (Mix) were used to encapsulate ASOs. The particle size, polymer dispersity index and ζ potential of the formulations were 151 nm, 0.18 and -3.9 mV. The nanoparticles entered liver cancer cells (HepG-2, Huh-7), silenced target mRNA, arrested cell cycle in S phase, promoted apoptosis, and inhibited the proliferation efficiently. These results indicate that Mix/N04_MOE5 has great potential in tumor treatment, which provides a basis for further research on novel agents against hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective: To establish an optimized method for isolation and purification of microglia from aged rat brain tissue, and the phenotype of microglia was detected by flow cytometry. Methods: With young rats(3 months old) as control, the brain tissues of aged rats were immediately processed into single cell suspensions by mechanical dissociation and enzymatic digestion using type IV collagenase. Microglia were isolated on Percoll gradients(30%-37%-70%). The cells were stained with fluorescence-labeled antibodies and the phenotype of microglia was detected by flow cytometry. Results: This study developed a method that enzymatic digestion and mechanical dissociation combined with density gradient centrifugation. More single cells could be obtained by using this method. And the survival rate of cells was more than 90%. The flow cytometric analysis showed that the expression of M1 microglia marker CD86 and MHC Ⅱ increased(P<0.01), and the expression of M2 microglia marker CD200R increased(P<0.01) in aged rats compared with that in young rats. Conclusion The use of type IV collagenase and mechanical digestion combined with density gradient centrifugation is good for isolating and purifying microglia from adult and aged rat brain tissue.

Aim To design and synthesize a series of phenylacetamide derivatives with different substituted phenylacetic acid as raw materials,and to investigate the protective effects of the compound on the damage of pancreatic β cells induced by palmitate acid(PA).Methods Min6 cells were cultured and divided into B blank control group,PA treatment group and PA+compounds group.The viability of Min6 cells was de-tected by CCK-8.The protein expressions of TXNIP and NLRP3 were observed by Western blot.MDA con-tent and SOD activity were detected by MDA and SOD kit.The insulin secretion of Min6 islet cells was meas-ured with insulin ELISA kit.Results A total of 10 phenylacetamide derivatives were designed and synthe-sized.Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and ESI-MS.Pharmacological activity study showed that most of the compounds had protective effects on islet βcells,among which LY-6 and LY-8 had stronger pro-tective effects than PA model group,with the cell via-bility of 61.4％,and LY-6 had the highest cell activi-ty,reaching to 104.9％.Compared with PA group,the protein expression of TXNIP and NLRP3 decreased in LY-6 and LY-8 groups,MDA content decreased and SOD activity increased,and insulin secretion of Min6 cell increased.Conclusions LY-6 and LY-8 inhibit TXNIP expression and decrease the activation of NL-RP3 inflammasome,and decrease the production of MDA and increase SOD activity,and thus reducing is-let β cells apoptosis and increasing insulin secretion.Therefore,the compound LY-6 could serve as a poten-tial anti-diabetic new chemical entity.

Objective:To establish a method for obtaining planning target volume (PTV) and planning risk volume (PRV) margins caused by rotation in the use of adapt-to-position (ATP) modality of magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MRL) for patients with intracranial tumors.Methods:Clinical data of 6 patients with intracranial tumors (150 fractions in total) who received MRI-guided online ATP radiotherapy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from November 2023 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The pre-planned CT structure was copied onto each segmented MR image and then the structures were traced back to the CT image according to the three-dimensional registration relationship. The anisotropic distance of the structure based on the original CT structure was calculated to obtain the variation range of the target and the organs at risk. The maximum anisotropic value was taken as the result of the PTV and the relationship between the results and intracranial location of different patients was analyzed. Group comparison was performed by Chi-square test. Two group comparison was conducted by post-hoc Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results:After the rotation deviation was included, the range of target changes in the six directions of left and right (L/R), anterior and posterior (A/P) and superior and inferior (S/I) of the 6 patients were: (1.24± 0.86) mm/(1.91± 1.07) mm, (2.02± 1.26) mm/(1.66± 1.07) mm, (1.84± 1.84) mm /(2.94±1.93) mm, respectively. The results in the SI direction were significantly different, and the values in the I direction in 2 patients exceeded 4 mm, the margins suitable for all patients were 3.01 mm/2.4 mm(A/P), 1.9 mm/2.93 mm(L/R) and 3.14 mm/4.62 mm(S/I) in different directions, respectively. The L/R direction of the lens and the S/I direction of the optic nerve were significantly changed, and the A/P direction of the brain stem was (3.99± 4.64) mm. Larger values might be required when the target was in the posterior brain (left-down area, right-down area).Conclusions:The rotation deviation, organ movement and intracranial location affect the PTV and the organs at risk PRV in the MRI-guided ATP modality in intracranial tumors patients. The margin generation method based on image fusion can help to quantify the margin value reasonably.

Objective To investigate the nutritional status of children with Crohn's Disease (CD) at diagnosis and its association with clinical characteristics. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data and nutritional status of 118 children with CD who were admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital,Capital Medical University,from January 2016 to January 2024. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors for malnutrition. Results A total of 118 children with CD were included,among whom there were 68 boys (57.6％) and 50 girls (42.4％),with a mean age of (11±4) years. Clinical symptoms mainly included recurrent abdominal pain (73.7％,87/118),diarrhea (37.3％,44/118),and hematochezia (32.2％,38/118),and 63.6％ (75/118) of the children had weight loss at diagnosis. The incidence rate of malnutrition was 63.6％ (75/118),and the children with moderate or severe malnutrition accounted for 67％ (50/75). There were 50 children (42.4％) with emaciation,8 (6.8％) with growth retardation,and 9 (7.6％) with overweight or obesity. Measurement of nutritional indices showed a reduction in serum albumin in 83 children (70.3％),anemia in 74 children (62.7％),and a reduction in 25 hydroxyvitamin D in 15 children (60％,15/25). The children with malnutrition had significantly higher disease activity,proportion of children with intestinal stenosis,and erythrocyte sedimentation rate and a significant reduction in serum albumin (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that intestinal stenosis was an independent risk factor for malnutrition in children with CD (OR=4.416,P<0.05). Conclusions There is a high incidence rate of malnutrition in children with CD at diagnosis,which is associated with disease activity and disease behavior. The nutritional status of children with CD should be closely monitored.

A variety of full 2ʹ-F/OMe-modified siRNAs were designed and synthesized, and the activity against hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 and HepG2 cells was evaluated. K&A DNA/RNA H-8 synthesizer was used to synthesize siRNAs, and neutral cytidinyl lipid DNCA mixed with cationic lipid CLD were used to transfect siRNA. By RT-qPCR and CCK-8 assay, the target gene silence and the proliferation of Huh-7 and HepG2 cells were detected. The siRNAs loading into Ago2 protein was detected by RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation. Drug uptake and cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of PLK1 protein was detected by Western blot. Partial full 2ʹ-F/OMe modified siRNAs, especial siPLK1A3, increased the uptake of Huh-7 cells, enhanced their binding to Ago2 and gene silencing activity, down-regulated PLK1 protein, as well as induced more Huh-7 cell apoptosis and proliferation inhibition activity. It provides important data for the development of novel siRNA modification patterns and anti-HCC formulations.
