Objective:
To evaluate the characteristics and related factors of physical activities both inside and outside the kindergarten among preschool children, so as to provide a reference for promoting targeted physical activities among different types of children in the future.
Methods:
From April 2016 to December 2022, 706 preschool children aged 3 to 6 years from the Shanghai parent child cohort followed up. Accelerometers were used to measure their physical activities during kindergarten hours, and a parent questionnaire was employed to assess their physical activities and screen time outside the kindergarten. Restrictive cubic spline analysis was used to examine the relationship between moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA) inside and outside the kindergarten. Cluster analysis was performed to identify physical activity patterns among children, and multinomial Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors of these physical activity patterns.
Results:
On weekdays, preschooler accumulated an average of (40.83±15.71) minutes of MVPA inside the kindergarten and 30(15, 53) minutes outside daily. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed an inverted U shaped relationship between MVPA inside and outside the kindergarten. Cluster analysis identified four groups: low daily MVPA but active inside (196, 27.8%), moderate daily MVPA but high screen time outside (97, 13.7%), adequate daily MVPA and relatively active outside (96, 13.6%), and low daily MVPA and relatively inactive both inside and outside (317, 44.9%). Compared to the reference group of adequate daily MVPA and relatively active outside, children with screen time exceeding 60 minutes at 2 years old were more likely to belong to the group with adequate daily MVPA but more screen time outside ( OR =3.84, 95% CI =1.16-12.74, P <0.05). Boys had a lower likelihood of being in the group with low daily MVPA and relatively inactive both inside and outside ( OR =0.33, 95% CI =0.16-0.70, P <0.05). Children from neighborhoods with insufficient sport facilities were more likely to be in the low daily MVPA and relatively inactive group ( OR =2.20, 95% CI = 1.05 -4.63, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Behavior patterns of physical activity and screen time for both inside and outside the kindergarten vary greatly among different children. Screen time at the age of 2 and the sports facilities around the commuinty are key factors influencing the physical activity pattern. It is recommended to implement personalized intervention plans in collaboration with schools and families for different types of children.

Objective:To explore the role of tripartite motif-containing protein 21(TRIM21)in chronic apical periodontitis(CAP)and its potential mechanism.Methods:Human CAP tissue and normal periodontal tissue were collected.The expression of inflamma-tory factors(IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-a,TGF-β1),osteoclast related genes(TRAP,RANKL,CTSK),macrophage polarization related genes(CD86,iNOS,CD206,Arg1)and TRIM21 were detected by RT-qPCR.TRIM21 protein was detected by immunohistochemical staining,and the osteoclasts was detected by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)staining.The inflammation cell model was es-tablished by stimulating Raw264.7 cells with lipoteichoic acid(LTA)or lipopolysaccharide(LPS),and the expression of the above factors was detected.The bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs)extracted from wild-type and TRIM21-/-mice stimulated by LPS were used to verify the expression of the above factors by RT-qPCR,the osteoclasts were detected by TRAP staining,and the po-larization of macrophages was detected by immunofluorescence staining.Results:In CAP tissue the expression of inflammatory factors,osteoclast related genes,CD86,iNOS and TRIM21 increased,while CD206 and Arg1 decreased,and osteoclasts were more than that in normal tissue.The stimulation of LTA/LPS promoted the proliferation of Raw264.7 cells,and the expression of these factors in cells was consistent with that in tissues.After LPS stimulation,BMDMs of TRIM21-/-mice had lighter inflammation,lower expression of os-teoclast specific genes,fewer osteoclasts and lower M1 polarization than those of wild type mice.Conclusion:TRIM21 might promote the progress of CAP by promoting M1 polarization of macrophages.

Objective To evaluate the dynamic changes of left ventricular mechanical synchrony in the early period after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) and real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE),and analyze the correlation with phase analysis of single photo emission computed tomography gated myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT GMPI) in porcine models,and further to investigate the clinical significance of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with AMI.Methods Bama minipigs(n =11) were subjected to left anterior descending (LAD) occlusion by balloon to introduce AMI porcine models.All animals underwent 2D-STI and RT-3DE at the baseline (before AMI),1 day,1 week and 4 weeks after LAD occlusion,respectively.In addition,SPECT GMPI was measured at baseline and 1 day after AMI.Data was analyzed and compared the dynamic changes of left ventricular mechanical synchrony before and after AMI.Then the correlation between echocardiography and SPECT GMPI in evaluating left ventricular mechanical synchrony before and after AMI were calculated.Results Eight pigs were successfully established as AMI models and complete the study.SPECT GMPI,2D-STI and RT-3DE showed that the left ventricular mechanical synchrony indexes were significantly higher at 1 day after AMI than those before AMI,which means the appearance of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony.Compared with those 1 day after AMI,GLS,Time SD,Tmsv16-SD% and Tmsv16-Dif% did not change significantly at 1 week after AMI,but they significantly increased at4 weeks after AMI (all P <0.05).At baseline and 1 day after AMI,the GLS measured by 2D-STI and the SPECT GMPI parameter phase bandwidth (BW) showed good correlation(r =0.708-0.719,P <0.05),Time SD was significantly correlated with the SPECT GMPI parameter phase standard deviation (SD)(r =0.717-0.830,P <0.05),while Tmsv16-Dif% derived from RT-3DE had a better positive correlation with BW (r =0.713-0.857,P <0.05),as similar as Tmsv16-SD% with SD(r =0.803-0.957,P <0.05).Conclusions Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony is present 1 day after AMI.Compared with that 1 day after AMI,left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony doesn't change significantly at 1week after AMI,but further aggravates at 4 weeks after AMI.The parameters of 2D-STI and RT-3DE have good correlation with the mechanical synchrony parameters measured by SPECT GMPI.2D-STI and RT-3DE can be used as reliable methods to evaluate left ventricle mechanical dyssynchrony early after AMI.

Objective To explore the relationship between radiomics signatures based on DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and molecular subtypes of breast cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis of 79 female breast cancer patients, with single mass, clear molecular subtypes and preoperative breast MRI scanning (obtaining DCE-MRI and ADC images), of Guangdong General Hospital from June 2015 to June 2016,were performed.Traditional quantitative parameters,including ADC value and initial enhancement rate(IER),were recorded.Texture analysis were performed on ADC map and DCE map, with manual segmentation and extraction of radiomic features,and Manual segmentation was performed on ADC map and DCE map, radiomics features were extracted and 10 radiomics signatures were finally selected after dimension reduction. Four molecular subtypes of breast cancer were classified by immunohistochemical detection of pathological specimens, including Luminal A, Luminal B, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression and triple negative (TN). Univariate logistic regression analysis was used for assessing the performance of ADC values, IER values and radiomics signatures to independently predict molecular subtypes groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to establish predicting models, then receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were drawn and areas under ROC curve were calculated to compare the diagnostic performance of each model. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was performed to test the goodness of model fitness. Results There were 29 cases of Luminal A, 39 cases of Luminal B, 5 cases of HER2 overexpression and 6 cases of TN breast cancer patients.Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the ability of traditonal MRI parameters of ADC and IER values and ten of the radiomics siganitures in classifying molecular subtypes,results showed that the AUC values of ADC and IER values, were both less than 0.70 (range 0.516 to 0.605), which indicated valueless;at least one radiomic signature had AUC greater than 0.70 when identifying each molecular subtype, and AUC of DCE_L_G_2.5_autocorrelation achieved the highest value of 0.941 in identifying TN and non-TN subtypes.Multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to obtain the best model, results showed that the AUCs for classifying Luminal A and non-Luminal A, Luminal B and non-Luminal B, TN and non-TN subtypes were 0.786 and 0.733 And 0.941, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the P values of all models were larger than 0.10 (0.156, 0.204 and 0.820,respectively),indicating that there was no significant difference between the predicted and observed values of each model established, these models were all fitted good. Conclusion The radiomics features based on ADC map and DCE map can help to identify the molecular subtypes of breast cancer,especially for the identification of TN type breast cancer.
