Objective: To explore the causal link of cumulative ecological risk and future orientation with health risk behaviors among higher vocational college students, so as to provide reference for reducing and preventing health risk behaviors among higher vocational college students. Methods: A longitudinal follow up study was conducted on 612 students using convenience sampling from 2 vocational colleges in Hunan Province. The Cumulative Ecological Risk Scale, Future Orientation Scale, and Health Risk Behavior Scale were used during three follow up visits (T1: September 2022, T2: June 2023, T3: March 2024), and a cross lagged panel model was constructed to examine the longitudinal causal relationship of cumulative ecological risk, future orientation and health risk behaviors. Analysis of longitudinal intermediary effect between variables by Bootstrap. Results: The cumulative ecological risk scores of T1, T2 and T3 among higher vocational college students were (2.94±1.44,2.99±1.63,3.02±1.54), future orientation scores (40.49±4.71,41.51±5.72,41.06±4.35) and health risk behavior scores (3.73±2.01,3.49±2.00,3.23±2.00). The results of repeated measures ANOVA showed that the future orientation score of T2 was higher than that of T1, and the main effect of measurement time was statistically significant ( F=5.09，P＜0.01,η 2=0.02). The health risk behavior score of T1 was higher than that of T2, and the health risk behavior score of T2 was higher than that of T3, and the main effect of measurement time was statistically significant ( F=10.12，P＜0.01,η 2=0.03).The cross lagged model showed good adaptability, with χ 2/df =7.20 ( P <0.01), relative fitting indicators GFI=0.98, CFI=0.99, TLI=0.96, IFI=0.99, NFI =0.99, and absolute fitting indicator RMSEA =0.06. Among them, the T1, T2 cumulative ecological risk showed negatively predictive effects on T2, T3 future orientation ( β =-0.24, -0.47 ), and T1, T2 cumulative ecological risk positively predicted T2, T3 health risk behavior ( β =0.20, 0.24), while T1, T2 future orientation negatively predicted T2, T3 health risk behavior ( β =-0.25, -0.18) ( P ＜0.01). Bootstrap test analysis found that T2 future orientation had a longitudinal mediating effect ( β=0.04, P ＜0.01) on the T1 cumulative ecological risk and T3 health risk behavior. Conclusions The accumulation of ecological risk among higher vocational college students can positively predict health risk behaviors, while future orientation can negatively predict healthrisk behaviors. Moreover, future orientation plays a longitudinal mediating role between accumulated ecological risks and health risk behaviors.

Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) due to variants of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF1β) (MODY5) has not been well studied in the Chinese population. This study aimed to estimate its prevalence and evaluate the application of a clinical screening method (Faguer score) in Chinese early-onset diabetes (EOD) patients. Methods: Among 679 EOD patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age at diagnosis ≤40 years), the exons of HNF1β were sequenced. Functional impact of rare variants was evaluated using a dual-luciferase reporter system. Faguer scores ≥8 prompted multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for large deletions. Pathogenicity of HNF1β variants was assessed following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. Results: Two rare HNF1β missense mutations (E105K and G454R) were identified by sequencing in five patients, showing functional impact in vitro. Another patient was found to have a whole-gene deletion by MLPA in 22 patients with the Faguer score above 8. Following ACMG guidelines, six patients carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant were diagnosed with MODY5. The estimated prevalence of MODY5 in Chinese EOD patients was approximately 0.9% or higher. Conclusion MODY5 is not uncommon in China. The Faguer score is helpful in deciding whether to perform MLPA analysis on patients with negative sequencing results.

BACKGROUND:Heterotopic ossification of skeletal muscle is a clinically serious complication.For heterotopic ossification of skeletal muscles,the cells involved in the process of heterotopic ossification remain unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the involvement of myocytes,fascia cells,and endothelial cells in the process of heterotopic ossification in skeletal muscle and to observe the cell origin of heterotopic ossification in skeletal muscle induced by bone morphogenetic protein 4. METHODS:Both C2C12 cells and the myotubes formed by the C2C12 cells in the induction medium were cultured,and 500 ng/mL bone morphogenetic protein 4 was added to the medium respectively,and whether the C2C12 cells and myotubes continued to proliferate within 10 days under the treatment were observed under a microscope.Myogenic cells(L6,derived from rats)and fibroblast-derived cells(derived from human)were co-cultured.After treatment with 500 ng/mL bone morphogenetic protein 4 and 10 ng/mL transforming growth factor-β,osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential within 21 days were observed using Safranine O staining and Alcian blue staining.Using transgenic animal FVB/N-TgN(TIE2-LacZ)182Sato mice,15 μL of adeno-associated virus-bone morphogenetic protein 4(5×1010 PFU/mL)were implanted in the thigh muscle space of genetic mice for 10 and 14 days.X-gal staining was used to observe the formation of new blood vessel endothelium in the differentiated bone. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Bone morphogenetic protein 4 caused myotube breakdown and increased C2C12 cell proliferation.Compared with other groups,the pure fibroblast-derived cell group had a higher area of positive alcian blue and safarin O staining(P<0.05)and a lower area of alkaline phosphatase staining(P<0.05),while the pure L6 group had a bigger area of alkaline phosphatase staining(P<0.05)but a smaller area of positive alcian blue and safarin O staining(P<0.05).(2)Transplantation of adeno-associated virus-bone morphogenetic protein 4-adsorbed gelatin sponge into FVB/N-TgN(TIE2-LacZ)182Sato mice resulted in heterotopic ossification.(3)X-gal staining results demonstrated that there was no obvious staining in chondrocytes and differentiated bones and Tie2+ endothelial cells did not participate in the formation of the alienated bone.(4)These findings verify that fibroblasts are the primary source of osteoblasts during the adeno-associated virus-bone morphogenetic protein 4-induced ectopic endochondral ossification in skeletal muscle,but myogenic cells are the main source of osteoblasts.Tie2+ endothelial cells might not be the cell source for cartilage and bone.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for pulmonary infection in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF),and to establish a predictive model.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 585 ACLF patients who were admitted to Department of Infectious Diseases,The Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University,from January 2009 to September 2022,and according to the condition of pulmonary infection after admission,they were divided into infection group with 213 patients and non-infection group with 372 patients.The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups,and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.The clinical data of these patients were collected.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the risk factors for pulmonary infection in ACLF patients and establish a predictive model,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to assess the predictive value of the model.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the degree of fitting of the model,and the ROC curve and the area under the ROC curve(AUC)were used to assess the predictive performance of the model.Results Among the 585 patients with ACLF,213 experienced pulmonary infection,with an infection rate of 36.41%.The multivariate logistic analysis showed that upper gastrointestinal bleeding(odds ratio[OR]=2.463,P=0.047),infection at other sites(OR=2.218,P=0.004),femoral vein catheterization(OR=2.520,P＜0.001),and combined use of two or more antibiotics(OR=2.969,P＜0.001)were risk factors for pulmonary infection in ACLF patients.These factors were included in the risk factor predictive model of Logit(P)=-1.869+0.901×upper gastrointestinal bleeding+0.755×infection at other sites+0.924×femoral vein catheterization+1.088×combined use of two or more antibiotics.The ROC curve analysis showed that the model had a good predictive value(Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2=3.839,P=0.698),with an AUC of 0.753(95%confidence interval:0.700-0.772).Conclusion There is a relatively high incidence rate of pulmonary infection in patients with ACLF,and upper gastrointestinal bleeding,spontaneous peritonitis,femoral vein catheterization,and combined use of two or more antibiotics are related risk factors.The model established based on these factors can effectively predict the onset of pulmonary infection in ACLF patients.

Background and objective Lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)is a highly morbid and fatal cancer.De-spite advancements in modern medical treatment,the 5-year survival rate of patients remains suboptimal.Our previous study revealed that zinc finger SWIM-type containing 1(ZSWIM1),a novel protein,promotes the proliferation,migration,and inva-sion of LUAD cells.The aim of this study is to investigate the impact ofE3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif protein 21(TRIM21)on ZSWIM1-mediated cell proliferation and migration.Methods The interaction and co-localization between TRIM21 and ZSWIM1 were verified using co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)and immunofluorescence(IF).The effects of TRIM21 and ZSWIM1 on the proliferation and migration of LUAD cells were assessed through MTT and Transwell assays,respectively.Western blot(WB)analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of TRIM21 and ZSWIM1 on the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)markers in LUAD cells.The influence of TRIM21 on the ubiquitination of ZSWIM1 was exam-ined using Co-IP combined with WB.Results TRIM21 was found to interact and co-localize with ZSWIM1.Overexpression of TRIM21 inhibited the proliferation and migration of LUAD cells.Overexpression of TRIM21 reduced the promoting effect of ZSWIM1 on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells,and reversed the impact of ZSWIM1 on the expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin.Conversely,knockdown of TRIM21 further enhanced the promoting effect of ZSWIM1 on the proliferation and migration of LUAD cells.Mechanistically,we observed that overexpression of TRIM21 significantly en-hanced the ubiquitination level of ZSWIM1,leading to a decrease in ZSWIM1 protein expression.Conclusion TRIM21 binds to and promotes the ubiquitination of ZSWIM1,resulting in reduced protein expression of ZSWIM1,which leads to the inhibition of ZSWIM1-mediated promotion of proliferation,migration,and invasion in LUAD cells.

Objective To investigate the implementation of surveillance,prevention and control measures for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in maternal and child healthcare(MCH)institutions,and provide policy evi-dence for optimizing HAI prevention and control in MCH institutions.Methods Stratified sampling was conducted among the MCH institutions at provincial,municipal and county levels in 8 provinces/autonomous regions.A uni-fied questionnaire was designed and the online survey was conducted through"Questionnaire Star".Results The data from 123 MCH institutions were included in the analysis.90.24％of the MCH institutions carried out compre-hensive surveillance on HAI.The ratios of MCH institutions which implemented targeted surveillance on HAI in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),surgical site infection,multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)and HAI in intensive care units(non-NICU excluded)were 89.66％,85.96％,80.77％,and 74.19％,respectively.51.22％MCH institutions adopted information surveillance system on HAI cases.94.31％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on hand hygiene compliance.Over 90％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on environment hy-giene in high-risk departments.71.54％MCH institutions conducted centralized cleaning,disinfection,sterilization and supply for reusable medical instruments in the central sterile supply department(CSSD).Over 90％MCH insti-tutions established three-level pre-examination triage systems.86.18％set up transitional wards.MCH institutions generally adopted a management model with established effective communication,full appointment visits,and sepa-rate visits for special medical groups,such as registered pregnant women,high-risk newborns,healthcare groups,and long-term rehabilitation patients.However,the ratio of institutions conducting on-line follow-up visits was less than 50％.Conclusion MCH institutions have generally carried out comprehensive and targeted surveillance on HAI.Information surveillance need to be facilitated.Hand hygiene and environmental hygiene surveillance has been popularized to a certain extent at all levels of MCH institutions.The cleaning,disinfection,sterilization,and supply processes of reusable medical devices in a few MCH institutions are not standardized.Special medical populations get effective management.On-line healthcare is to be further promoted.
