Objective: To explore the relationship between the ratio of dietary vitamin A (VitA) to body weight and hypertension among children, so as to provide a reference for blood pressure control through dietary nutritional interventions and childhood hypertension prevention. Methods: Utilizing the baseline survey and followup sample data from the Healthy Children Cohort established in urban and rural areas of Chongqing from 2014 to 2019, structured quantitative dietary questionnaire and selfdesigned questionnaire were used to investigate the information of dietary intake and socioeconomic characteristics of 15 279 children, as well as blood pressure, height, weight measurement. The ratio of dietary VitA to body weight was divided into four groups based on quartiles [≤P25(Q1), >P25~P50(Q2), >P50~P75(Q3), >P75(Q4)]. Generalized linear regression models and Logistic regression models were used to analyze the correlation between ratio of dietary VitA to body weight with blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension. Results: The results of the 2014 baseline survey indicated that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as demographic indicators and nutritional intake, significant differences were observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) among different groups categorized by the ratio of dietary VitA to body weight (F=157.57, 44.71, 95.92, P<0.01). The baseline ratio of dietary VitA to body weight in children exhibited a negative correlation with DBP, SBP and MAP at baseline and in 2019[baseline: β(95%CI)=-0.65(-0.89--0.42), -0.22(-0.42--0.01), -0.36(-0.56--0.16); 2019: β(95%CI)=-0.77(-1.34--0.19), -0.62(-1.21--0.02), -0.77(-1.34--0.19), P＜0.05]. Compared to Q1 group, the risk of hypertension decreased among children in Q4 at baseline and followup in 2019 [OR(95%CI)=0.63(0.49-0.81), 0.18(0.08-0.42), P<0.01]. Conclusions The ratio of dietary VitA to body weight is significantly negatively correlated with blood pressure levels among children, and dietary VitA deficiency is an independent risk factor for hypertension among children. Measures should be taken to actively adjust childrens dietary nutrition and reduce the risk of childhood hypertension.

ObjectiveAt present, the matching reagents of commercially available rapid DNA instruments based on microfluidics chip technology are autosome short tandem repeat (STR) individual identification reagents. The non-recombining part of the human Y chromosome is widely used in forensic DNA analysis, particularly in cases where standard autosomal DNA profile is uninformative. Y-STR loci are useful markers to identify males and male lineages in forensic practice. In order to achieve rapid and fully integrated detection ofY-STR loci, this study constructed the RTyper Y27 microfluidic chip rapid detection system and validated the performance of this system. MethodsThe system was verified and evaluated by sensitivity, success rate, typing accuracy, peak height balance, sizing precision and accuracy, mock case sample tests, mixture detection ability, and inhibition tolerance. ResultsComplete Y-STR profiles can be obtained when the template amount of DNA standard 9948 was ≥8 ng, the number of blood cards was ≥3 pieces, and the number of oral swab scrapings was≥7 times. The success rate of fully integrated detection was 91.52%, and the concordance rates was 99.74% for 165 testing samples. The success rate of 115 blood spots in these samples was 90.43%, with a typing accuracy of 99.65%, the success rate of 50 buccal swabs was 94%, with a typing accuracy of 99.92%. There was no significant difference in typing accuracy between blood spots and buccal swab samples. The peak height ratio between different fluorescence channels was 89.81%. The standard deviation of allelic ladder for 10 runs was within 0.5 bp. The size differences between allele and corresponding allele in allelic ladder was within 0.5 bp. The maximum precision CV values within and between batches were 0.48% and 0.68%, respectively, which were lower than 15%. These data indicate that the system has good accuracy and precision. The system was capable of accurately typing oral swabs, blood cards, saliva cards, cigarette butts, blood swabs and seminal stains. Complete Y-STR profiles can be obtained and distinguish at the 1∶3 ratio of minor and major contributors in artificial male DNA mixtures. Complete Y-STR genotyping can be obtained under the interference of inhibitors, such as different concentrations of humic acid (50-400 mg/L), indigotin (20-100 nmol/L) and hemoglobin (100-500 μmol/L). ConclusionIn this study, the RTyper Y27 microfluidic chip rapid amplification system is combined with the Quick TargSeq 1.0 integrated system, and the Y-STR profile can be obtained in approximately 2 h. Through a series of verification experiments, the results show that the system has good repeatability, accuracy and stability, can meet the on-site Y-STR detection requirements, and can be used in forensic practice.

Objective:To explore the application effect of nursing intervention based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model in perioperative nursing of children undergoing concealed penis phalloplasty.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 86 children who were admitted to and underwent concealed penis phalloplasty in Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital were selected as the research objects from January 2022 to January 2023. They were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 43 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine nursing mode, and the observation group was treated with IMB model nursing intervention based on routine nursing. The heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels of children in the two groups were recorded at five time points, such as after preoperative visit (T 0), when leaving the preparation room period (T 1), before anesthesia induction (T 2), when leaving the anesthesia recovery room (T 3) and 24 h postoperative follow-up (T 4). The children were evaluated using Children's Emotional Adjustment Scale Preschool Version (CEAS-P), Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS), the Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC) and Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) . Results:After intervention, the CEAS-P scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, while the m-YPAS, ICC and PAED scores were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in HR and MAP levels of children undergoing concealed penis phalloplasty between the two groups at different time points ( P<0.01). HR and MAP levels at T 0, T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4 in observation group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was statistically significant differences in the interaction between nursing intervention and HR and MAP over time ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Nursing intervention based on the IMB model can effectively relieve the psychological anxiety of children with concealed penis phalloplasty in perioperative period and improve surgical safety.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics,therapeutic effect and prognostic factors of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma(HL).Methods:A total of 129 patients with HL diagnosed in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2010 to March 2021 who were given at least one efficacy assessment after treatment were enrolled,and their clinical data,including sex,age,pathological type,Ann Arbor stage,ECOG score,blood test,β2-microglobulin,lactate dehydrogenase level,albumin level were collected.The clinical characteristics,therapeutic effect and long-term prognosis of the patients were summarized and analyzed.Results:In classical HL,nodular sclerosis HL accounted for the highest proportion of 51.6％,followed by mixed cellularity HL(36.5％),lymphocyte-rich classical HL(3.2％),and lymphocyte depletion HL(0.7％),while nodular lymphocyte predominant HL accounted for 4.8％.The 3-year overall survival(OS)rate of HL patients was 89.8％,and 5-year OS was 85.0％.The 3-year progression-free survival(PFS)rate was 73.4％,and 5-year PFS was 63.1％.Multivariate regression analysis indicated that IPI score was an independent negative factor,while hemoglobin(Hb)level was an independent positive factor for OS in HL patients.When the mediastinal mass size was 9.2 cm,it was most significant to judge the survival status of HL patients.5-year OS and 5-year PFS were 97.4％and 76.0％in early-stage HL patients without large mass,respectively,while in patients with advanced-stage HL was 83.4％and 55.9％(both P＜0.05).After 2-4 courses of treatment,the overall response rate(ORR)of patients who received chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy was 95.0％,while that was 89.6％in those with chemotherapy alone.Conclusions:The overall prognosis of patients with HL is satisfactory,especially those in early-stage without large mass.IPI score and Hb level are independent risk factors for the prognosis of HL patients.A 9.2 cm mediastinal mass can be used as the cut-off value for the prognosis of Chinese HL patients.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of calcium dobesilate capsules combined with conbercept in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy with macular edema.Methods Patients with diabetic retinopathy complicated with macular edema were divided into control group and treatment group by cohort method.The control group was given intravitreal injection of conbercept ophthalmic injection 50 μL every time once a month.On the basis of the treatment in the control group,the treatment group was orally treated with calcium dobesilate capsules 0.5 g three times a day.Both groups were treated for 3 months.The efficacy after treatment,and ocular recovery indexes[best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),central macular thickness(CMT)],aqueous humor pro-angiogenic factors[vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),stromal cell-derived factor 1(SDF-1)]and aqueous humor hypoxic response factors[erythropoietin(EPO),hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α(HIF-1α)]were compared between two groups,and the safety of the two groups was evaluated.Results The treatment group and the control group were included in 48 cases and 56 cases,respectively.After 3 months of treatment,the total effective rates of the treatment group and the control group were 92.86％(52 cases/56 cases)and 79.17％(38 cases/48 cases),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).After 3 months of treatment,the BCVA of the treatment group and the control group were(0.58±0.14)and(0.45±0.12)logMAR,respectively;the CMT were(281.22±37.68)and(329.52±46.74)μm,respectively;the expression of VEGF in aqueous humor were(141.56±22.49)and(164.22±32.51)ng·L-1,respectively;the expression of EPO in aqueous humor were(8.03±2.72)and(9.69±3.11)mU·mL-1,respectively;the expression levels of HIF-1α in aqueous humor were(168.18±69.52)and(221.47±72.46)mg·L-1,respectively;the expression levels of SDF-1 in aqueous humor were(465.32±76.28)and(526.82±94.43)mg·L-1,respectively.The above indexes in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group(all P＜0.05).The adverse drug reactions in the treatment group and the control group mainly included transient elevated intraocular pressure,vitreous hemorrhage,and gastrointestinal reactions.The incidence of adverse drug reactions in the treatment group and the control group were 14.29％(8 cases/56 cases)and 12.50％(6 cases/48 cases),respectively.There was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion Calcium dobesilate capsules combined with conbercept ophthalmic injection has an exact efficacy in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy with macular edema.It has obvious advantages in improving visual acuity and fundus microcirculation,and has good safety.

Objective: To investigate the response characteristics of patients with locally advanced/metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsq-NSCLC) treated with tislelizumab in combination with chemotherapy in the first line. Methods: Patients with nsq-NSCLC who achieved complete or partial remission after treatment with tislelizumab in combination with chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone in the RATIONALE 304 study, as assessed by an independent review board, were selected to analyze the response characteristics and safety profile of the responders. Time to response (TTR) was defined as the time from randomization to the achievement of first objective response. Depth of response (DpR) was defined as the maximum percentage of tumor shrinkage compared with the sum of the baseline target lesion length diameters. Results: As of January 23, 2020, 128 patients treated with tislelizumab in combination with chemotherapy achieved objective tumor response (responders), representing 57.4%(128/223) of the intention-to-treat population, with a TTR of 5.1 to 33.3 weeks and a median TTR of 7.9 weeks. Of the responders (128), 50.8%(65) achieved first remission at the first efficacy assessment (week 6), 31.3%(40) at the second efficacy assessment (week 12), and 18.0%(23) at the third and subsequent tumor assessments. The percentages of responders who achieved a depth of tumor response of 30% to <50%, 50% to <70% and 70% to 100% were 45.3%(58/128), 28.1%(36/128) and 26.6%(34/128), respectively, with median progression-free survival (PFS) of 9.0 months (95% CI: 7.7 to 9.9 months), 11.5 months (95% CI: 7.7 months to not reached) and not reached (95% CI: 11.8 months to not estimable), respectively. Tislelizumab plus chemotherapy were generally well tolerated in responders with similar safety profile to the overall safety population. Conclusion: Among responders to tislelizumab in combination with chemotherapy for nsq-NSCLC, 82.0%(105/128) achieves response within the first two tumor assessments (12 weeks) and 18.0%(23/128) achieves response at later (18 to 33 weeks) assessments, and there is a trend toward prolonged PFS in responders with deeper tumor response.
