Objective To investigate the prevalence of tension-type headache(TTH)in children and adolescents aged 0-19 years globally in 1990-2021,and to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of TTH.Methods Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study data,the age-standardized prevalence distribution of TTH and its changing trend were analyzed among the children and adolescents aged 0-19 years,with different sexes,age groups,sociodemographic index(SDI)regions and countries/territories.Results The age-standardized prevalence rate(ASPR)of TTH in children and adolescents aged 0-19 globally in 2021 was 17 339.89/100 000,which was increased by 1.73%since 1990.The ASPR in females was slightly higher than that in males(1990:17 707.65/100 000 vs 16 403.78/100 000;2021:17 946.29/100 000 vs 16 763.09/100 000).The ASPR in adolescence was significantly higher than that in school-aged and preschool periods(1990:27 672.04/100 000 vs 10 134.16/100 000;2021:28 239.04/100 000 vs 10 059.39/100 000).Regions with high SDI exhibited a higher ASPR than the other regions,with significant differences in prevalence rates across different countries.From 1990 to 2021,there was a slight increase in global ASPR,with an average annual percentage change(AAPC)of 0.06%.Females experienced a smaller increase than males based on AAPC(0.04%vs 0.07%).There was reduction in ASPR in preschool and school-aged groups,with an AAPC of-0.02%,while there was a significant increase in ASPR in adolescence,with an AAPC of 0.07%.ASPR decreased in regions with low-middle and low levels of SDI,with an AAPC of-0.02%and-0.04%,respectively,while it increased in regions with middle SDI,with an AAPC of 0.24%.Conclusions There is a consistent increase in the ASPR of TTH in children and adolescents aged 0-19 years globally,with significant differences across sexes,age groups,SDI regions and countries/territories.

Aim To investigate whether notoginsenoside Rl (PNS-R1) alleviates allergic rhinitis (AR) through AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mitochondrial fission critical protein (DRP1) -mediated mitochondrial fission. Methods Different doses of PNSRl were used to treat ovalbumin (OVA) -induced AR model mice,and the inhibitory effect of PNS-R1 on AR was investigated by observing allergic symptoms such as nasal rubbing and sneezing, as well as HE staining of nasal tissues. Serum IgE levels and nasal lavage fluid (NLF) inflammatory cytokine levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot. In vitro human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpC) were stimulated with IL-13 to observe apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, cellular ROS and mitochondrial ROS production, as well as the expression levels of AMPK/DRP1, expression levels of the TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasomes and the translocation of DRP1. Results PNS-R1 attenuated allergic symptoms in AR mice, HE staining reduced inflammatory cells and reduced the levels of OVA-specific IgE in serum, and the levels of IL-4, IL-6, and IL-8 in NLF. PNS-R1 attenuated the apoptosis and ROS production of nasal epithelial cells in AR. In vitro PNS-R1 could up-regulate mitochondrial membrane potential after IL-13 stimulation, reduce ROS and mtROS production, the proportion of apoptotic positive cells, and reduce cleaved caspase-3, Bax, and up-regulate Bcl-2 expression, down-regulate DRP1 phosphorylation (Ser 616) and DRP1 translocation at the mitochondrial membrane in an AMPK-dependent manner, reducing TXNIP/NLRP3 expression. Conclusions PNS-R1 can protect mitochondrial integrity by inhibiting the AMPK/DRP1 signaling axis and its subsequent TXNIP/NLRP3 signaling axis,thereby alleviating rhinitis in AR mice.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS; grayscale US, color Doppler US, strain elastography, and contrast-enhanced US) in the assessment of testicular lesions with negative tumoral markers. MpUS imaging data, patient age, serum tumor markers, scrotal pain, cryptorchidism, and related clinical information were retrospectively collected for patients who underwent mpUS examination between January 2013 and December 2019. Histologic results or follow-up examinations were used as the reference standard. In total, 83 lesions from 79 patients were included in the analysis. Fifty-six patients were finally diagnosed with benign tumors, and 23 patients were ultimately diagnosed with malignant tumors. Chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests were used to assess the difference between the two groups. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lesion diameter (odds ratio [OR] = 1.072, P = 0.005), vascularization on color Doppler US (OR = 4.066, P = 0.001), and hyperenhancement during the early phase (OR = 6.465, P = 0.047) were significant independent risk factors for malignancy; however, when compared with neoplastic lesions, pain (OR = 0.136, P < 0.001), absence of vascularization on color Doppler US (OR = 1.680, P = 0.042), and nonenhancement during the late phase (OR = 3.461, P = 0.031) were strongly associated with nonneoplastic lesions. MpUS features are useful for differentiating testicular lesions with negative tumoral markers and improving the preoperative diagnosis, which may avoid inappropriate radical orchiectomy.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of polydatin ( PD) on allergic rhinitis (AH) by regulating mitophagy through PINK1- Parkin signaling pathway, and to provide a new target for clinical treatment of AH.Methods Thirty-two BALB/c murine were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, OVA group, PD low-dose (30 mg • kg 1 ) and high-dose ( 45 mg • kg 1 ) treatment groups.At the end of modeling, the total number of sneezing and nasal nibbing of murine was recorded.HE staining was used to observe the morphology of na- sal mucosal epithelium and eosinophil infiltration.Western blot was used to detect the expression of P1NK1 , Parkin, TOM20 and mitochondrial apoptosis- related proteins Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, cleaved- caspase-3 and Cytochrome C.Hie expression of P1NK1 and cleaved-caspase-3 in nasal epithelial cells (HNEpC) was observed by immunofluorescence.Re¬sults The frequency of sneezing and nasal rubbing movements was significantly increased, the nasal mu¬cosa epithelium was thickened, and eosinophils were accumulated in AH murine , these results were reversed after PD treatment.Western blot results shower] that signaling proteins PINK1/Parkin anrl pro-apoptotie pro¬teins, including Bax, caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-3 and Cytochrome C were significantly overexpressed, the expression of TOM20 and Bcl-2 was decreased in OVA group, and PD up-regulated the levels of P1NK1 , Parkin, as well as Bcl-2 and inhibited the expression of TDM20 and pro-apoptotic proteins, while after pre- treatment with mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 ( Mdi- vi-1 ) , the expression of P1NK1 and Parkin was re¬duced , the expression of TOM20 was increased, while PD treatment did not significantly affect this effect.From the immunofluorescence results, it can be seen that the level of P1NK1 was increased after IL-13 stim¬ulation of HNEpCs compared with the control group, and PD further up-regulated the expression of P1NK1 , which was suppressed after pretreatment with Mdivi-1 , while PD did not change this phenomenon.Western blot results for P1NK1 and cleaved-caspase-3 were con¬firmed by immunofluorescence.Conclusion PD may activate mitophagy through the P1NK1 -Parkin signaling pathway, thereby protecting against AR.

Objective To understand the real prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis infections in the freshwater fish in mainland China, so as to provide insights into clonorchiasis control and detection of freshwater fish. Methods All literatures reporting the prevalence of C. sinensis infections in the freshwater fish, the second intermediate host of the parasite, were jointly retrieved in Chinese and English electronic databases from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020, including Wanfang Data, CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library. All studies were screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the quality of all enrolled literatures was evaluated. The pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using the software Stata version 15.0, and subgroup analyses were performed to investigate the region-, season- and sample source-specific pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish. In addition, the sensitivity and publication bias of all included studies were analyzed. Results A total of 40 eligible literatures were included in this study, including 37 Chinese literatures and 3 English literatures, and there were 10 high-quality literatures, 27 moderate-quality literatures and 3 low-quality literatures. A total of 53 species containing 37 959 freshwater fish were reported in these 40 studies, and 73.58% (39/53) of freshwater fish species were identified with C. sinensis infections. Meta-analysis showed 23.5% [95% CI: (0.19, 0.28)] pooled prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish in mainland China, and subgroup analyses higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish in northeastern China [35.7%, 95% CI: (0.22, 0.50)] than in central [25.9%, 95% CI: (0.04, 0.48)] and southern China [20.6%, 95% CI: (0.09, 0.32)], higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish sampled in spring [44.1%, 95% CI: (0.35, 0.53)] than in autumn [6.7%, 95% CI: (0.05, 0.08)] and summer [3.3%, 95% CI: (−0.01, 0.07)], and higher prevalence of C. sinensis infections in freshwater fish sampled from natural water [25.2%, 95% CI: (0.17, 0.33)] than from retail trades [22.2%, 95% CI: (0.17, 0.28)] and breeding chain [12.3%, 95% CI: (0.03, 0.22)]. However, all included studies had a publication bias with a low sensitivity. Conclusions The prevalence of C. sinensis infections is high in freshwater fish in mainland China, and there are still challenges for clonorchiasis control. Reinforcement of health education, diagnostics development and food safety supervision is recommended in future clonorchiasis control programs.
