Objective: To investigate the availability and use of child safety seats among children aged 0-3 years, so as to provide the basis for improving riding safety for children. Methods: Parents of children aged 0-3 years in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality, were recruited using the stratified multistage random sampling method from May to July 2024. Demographic information, family travel patterns, the use of child safety seat and related health beliefs were collected using questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting the use of child safety seats were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 514 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 96.98%. The respondents included 122 fathers (23.74%) and 392 mothers (76.26%), with a median age of 34.00 (interquartile range, 5.00) years. There were 446 families equipping with child safety seats, accounting for 86.77%; and 169 families using child safety seats, accounting for 32.88%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the parents who had children aged >1-2 years (OR=0.597, 95%CI: 0.366-0.973), travelled 2-4 times per month (OR=0.359, 95%CI: 0.213-0.607) or once per month or less (OR=0.384, 95%CI: 0.202-0.729), and scored high in perceived barrier (OR=0.634, 95%CI: 0.486-0.827) were less likely to use child safety seats; the parents who had children with local household registration (OR=2.506, 95%CI: 1.356-4.633), travelled 5-<10 km (OR=1.887, 95%CI: 1.148-3.101) or ≥10 km (OR=2.319, 95%CI: 1.355-3.967), always wore seat belts (OR=2.342, 95%CI: 1.212-4.524), scored high in perceived susceptibility (OR=1.392, 95%CI: 1.091-1.778) and self-efficacy (OR=1.413, 95%CI: 1.156-1.727) were more likely to use child safety seats. Conclusions Equipping family cars with child safety seats and using them can prevent and reduce traffic injuries among children aged 0-3 years. It is recommended to strengthen publicity to promote the use of child safety seats.

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2002 to 2019, so as to provide insights into the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. Methods: The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer among men in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019 were collected from the Shanghai Cancer Registry System. The crude incidence, crude mortality, truncated age-standardized incidence (aged 35 to 64 years) and cumulative incidence (aged 0 to 74 years) of prostate cancer were calculated. The Chinese Fifth National Population Census in 2000 and the Segi's world standard population in 1960 were used to calculate Chinese-standardized rate and world-standardized rate. The trends in incidence and mortality of prostate cancer were evaluated using annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: A total of 2 672 cases of prostate cancer were reported in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the crude incidence was 33.35/105, the Chinese-standardized incidence was 14.93/105 and the world-standardized incidence was 12.37/105 (AAPC=7.675%, 4.886% and 4.983%, all P<0.05). The incidence of prostate cancer among males at ages of 60 to <70 years and 70 to <80 years appeared increasing trends (AAPC=4.554% and 5.045%, both P<0.05). A total of 1 214 deaths of prostate cancer were reported, and the crude mortality was 15.15/105, the Chinese-standardized mortality was 6.01/105 and the world-standardized mortality was 4.61/105 (AAPC=5.500%, 2.057% and 1.784%, all P<0.05). The mortality of prostate cancer among males at ages of 80 years and above appeared an increasing trend (AAPC=4.220%, P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer appeared increasing trends in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the incidence among males at ages of 60 years and above also increased. The screening for prostate cancer among males at ages of 60 years and above should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the total CSVD burden and fundus vasculopathy,and evaluate significance of fundus vasculopathy for cognitive impairment in CSVD patients.Methods A total of 290 inpatients who taking physical examination in our department from May 2021 to August 2022 were consecutively recruited,and according to their score of CSVD,they were divided into group 0(129 cases),group 1(51 case),group 2(42 cases),group 3(44 cases),and group 4(24 cases).All the subjects underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging,fundus fluorescein angiography,and cognitive function assessment.The total CSVD burden and fundus vasculopathy were evaluated.The general clinical data,results of laboratory tests,fundus vascularization,and cognitive function were compared among the groups with different CSVD burden scores.Spearman correlation analysis and linear correlation analysis were used to explore the correlation between total CSVD burden score and fundus vascular disease.Results Significant differences were observed in terms of age,years of education,cerebral infarction/TIA,total cho-lesterol,LDL-C,creatinine,MoC A and MMSE scores,positive results of connectivity test,digit-symbol conversion test,Stroop colour-word interference test and verbal fluency test,values of CRAE,CRVE,AVR,Scheie grade,DWMH and PVWMH,enlarged perivascular space in the basal ganglia(BG-EPVS),lacunar infarct and cerebral microbleeds(CMB)in different CSVD total bur-den groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Spearman correlation analysis showed that total CSVD burden was negatively correlated with CRAE and AVR(r=-0.655,P=0.000;r=-0.679,P=0.000),and positively with CRVE and Scheie grade(r=0.560,P=0.000;r=0.685,P=0.000).Multivari-ate linear analysis showed that the total CSVD burden after adjusting for relevant risk factors was significantly correlated with CRAE,CRVE,AVR and Scheie grades(P＜0.01).Conclusion Fun-dus vasculopathy is strongly associated with increased total CSVD burden,and it can be regarded as a valid predictor of CSVD-related cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the incidence of motoric cognitive risk(MCR)syndrome and declines in both motor and cognitive functions in elderly patients with enlarged perivascular spaces(EPVS).Methods A total of 113 patients(≥60 years old)with EPVS identified by head MRI admitted to our department from March 1 to November 30,2023 were consecutively recrui-ted,and according to having MCR syndrome or not,they were divided into MCR group(44 cases)and non-MCR group(69 cases).Cognitive function and motor function were assessed with aid of Montreal Cognitive Scale(MoCA),Simple Mental State Examination Scale(MMSE),trail making test,and motor function assessments,including Tinetti Balance and Gait Scale,Short Physical Performance Battery(SPPB),8-meter walk,Timed up and Go test(TUGT),walking and contin-uous subtraction task(WSS),walking and semantic fluency task(WSF),and TUGT and serial subtraction task(TUGSS).The motor and cognitive functions were compared between the two groups,and the risk factors related to MCR syndrome in EPVS patients were analyzed by multi-variate logistic regression.Results Compared with the non-MCR group,the MCR group had low-er MoCA score,total SPPB score,8-meter walk speed,and longer times of TMT-A,TMT-B,WSS,WSF and TUGSS(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that in Model 1(including variables with differences in univariate analysis),MoCA score,8-meter walk speed,and TUGSS time were independent risk factors for MCR syndrome in EPVS patients(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);in Model 2(adjusting for age,sex,education level,and comorbidities),MoCA score(OR=0.621,95％CI:0.432-0.929,P=0.010),8-meter walk speed(OR=1.332,95％CI:1.115-1.591,P=0.002),and TUGSS time(OR=0.393,95％CI:0.232-0.665,P=0.001)re-mained independent risk factors for MCR syndrome in EPVS patients.Conclusion Among elderly EPVS patients,those with MCR syndrome show significantly worse cognitive and motor function compared to those without.MoCA score,8-meter walk speed,and TUGSS time are related factors for MCR occurrence in EPVS patients.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of clopidogrel metabolism-related gene variability in Kawasaki disease (KD) children with coronary artery lesions (CAL) across different age groups and the impact of genetic variability on the efficacy of clopidogrel antiplatelet therapy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data were collected from 46 KD children with CAL who were hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Center of Children′s Hospital of Fudan University between January 2021 and August 2022 and were treated with clopidogrel, including gender, age, body mass index, course of KD, CAL severity grade, and baseline platelet count. According to their age, the children were divided into ≥2-year-old group and <2-year-old group. Their platelet responsiveness was assessed by adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet inhibition rate (ADPi) calculated via thromboelastography, and children were categorized into high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) and normal on-treatment platelet reactivity (NTPR) groups. Genotypes of CYP2C19, PON1 and ABCB1 were detected. The t test, one-way analysis of variance and Chi-square test were used for intergroup comparison. Results:Among the 46 KD children with CAL, 34 were male and 12 were female; 37 were ≥2-year-old and 9 were <2-year-old; 25 cases were in the HTPR group and 21 cases were in the NTPR group, with 19 HTPR and 18 NTPR in the ≥2-year-old group, and 6 HTPR and 3 NTPR in the <2-year-old group. Genetic analysis showed that 92 alleles among the 46 children, with frequencies of CYP2C19*1, CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, CYP2C19*17, PON1 192Q, PON1 192R, ABCB1 3435C, ABCB1 3435T at 59% (54/92), 32% (29/92), 9% (8/92), 1% (1/92), 36% (36/92), 64% (59/92), 63% (58/92) and 37% (34/92), respectively. Analysis of the impact of genotype on ADPi revealed that in children aged ≥2 years, those with CYP2C19*1/*3 genotype had significantly lower ADPi than those with CYP2C19*1/*1 genotype ((34±15)% vs. (61±29)%, t=2.18, P=0.036). There were also no significant difference in ADPi among children with PON1 192Q homozygous, PON1 192R heterozygote and PON1 192R homozygous genotypes ((40±22)% vs. (52±33)% vs. (65±27)%, F=2.17, P=0.130), or among those with ABCB1 3435C homozygous, ABCB1 3435T heterozygote and ABCB1 3435T homozygous genotypes ((55±34)% vs. (60±27)% vs. (49±24)%, F=0.33, P=0.719). In <2-year-old group, there were no significant differences in ADPi across CYP2C19*1/*1, CYP2C19*1/*2 and CYP2C19*2*2 genotypes ((40±20)% vs. (53±37)% vs. (34±16)%, F=0.37, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across CYP2C19*1/*1 and CYP2C19*1/*3 genotypes ((44±27)% vs. (42±20)%, t=0.08, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across PON1 192Q homozygous, PON1 192R heterozygote and PON1 192R homozygous genotypes (45% vs. (55±27)% vs. (24±5)%, F=1.83, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across ABCB1 3435C homozygous, ABCB1 3435T heterozygote and ABCB1 3435T homozygous genotypes ((36±16)% vs. (50±35)% vs. 45%, F=0.29, P>0.05). The risk analysis of HTPR in different genotypes revealed that in children aged ≥2 years, carrying at least 1 or 2 loss-of-function alleles of CYP2C19 was a risk factor for HTPR ( OR=4.69, 10.00, 95% CI 1.11-19.83, 0.84-119.32, P=0.033, 0.046, respectively), and PON1 192R homozygosity and carrying at least one PON1 192R allele were protective factors against HTPR ( OR=0.08, 0.13, 95% CI 0.01-0.86, 0.01-1.19, P=0.019, 0.043, respectively). Conclusion:KD children aged ≥2 years carrying CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles and PON1 192Q are more likely to develop HTPR.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), wall motion score (WMS) of echocardiographic indexes and serum heart type fatty acid binding protein (h-FABP), chitinase-3 like protein-1 (YKL-40) and their predictive value for prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods:A retrospective selection of 130 AMI patients admitted from January 2020 to March 2021 in the University of Hong Kong Shenzhen Hospital were selected as the research objects. According to whether major adverse cardiovascular events or death occurred within 30 d, they were divided into a good prognosis group (85 cases) and a poor prognosis group (45 cases). The echocardiographic indexes, serum h-FABP and YKL-40 levels were compared between the two groups, the correlation between serum indexes and color Doppler ultrasound indexes and the value of echocardiographic indexes for prognosis were also analyzed.Results:When the poor prognosis group was admitted to the hospital and after 1 week of treatment, the LVEF was lower than that in good prognosis group: (40.12±4.10)% vs. (44.37±5.06)% and (47.62±4.83)% vs. (53.29±5.31)%; the LVEDD, WMS, serum h-FABP and YKL-40 level were higher than those in good prognosis group: (52.78±3.67) mm vs. (49.16±3.14) mm and (48.35±4.08) mm vs. (44.20±3.72) mm, (23.42±3.11) scores vs. (20.09±2.87) scores and (20.07±3.70) scores vs. (15.20±2.34) scores, (28.76±4.22) mg/L vs. (22.35±3.19) mg/L and (20.04±3.33) mg/L vs. (14.20±2.76) mg/L, (40.17±5.10) μg/L vs. (34.83±3.25) μg/L and (32.09±4.38) μg/L vs. (27.20±3.07) μg/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). LVEF was negatively correlated with serum h-FABP and YKL-40 neither at admission nor 1 week after treatment, and LVEDD and WMS were positively correlated with serum h-FABP and YKL-40 ( P<0.05). The areas under the curve for combined prediction of prognosis by LVEF, LVEDD, and WMS was the largest at 0.873. The survival rates of high-risk patients indicated with LVEF, LVEDD, and WMS were lower than that of low-risk patients: 56.52% vs. 90.91%, 52.38% vs. 91.67%, and 54.17% vs. 95.24%, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The echocardiographic parameters LVEF, LVEDD and WMS in patients with AMI are closely related to serum h-FABP and YKL-40, which can provide an objective basis for the evaluation of myocardial pathophysiological changes. Moreover, the combined detection of LVEF, LVEDD, and WMS can be used to further assess the prognostic survival status, with a positive significance for guiding clinical treatment plans.

Objective:To understand the infection status of key human parasites in Yantai City, Shandong Province, and to provide scientific basis for establishing strategy for prevention and control of the disease.Methods:According to the "National Investigation Plan of Human Parasitic Infection Status" and implementation rules, stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to select 39 survey sites in 10 counties (cities, districts) of Yantai City from 2015 to 2019. The respondents were residents in each survey site, with no less than 200 people in each survey site. The modified garten thick smear method (one fecal two test) and the direct smear method were respectively used to detect the eggs of intestinal worms and the trophozoites or cysts of intestinal protozoa. Besides, the transparent adhesive paper anal swab was used to detect pinworms in children aged 3 - 9 years. SPSS 18.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Comparison between infection rates was analyzed by χ 2 test or Fisher's exact probability test with 0.05 of test level. Results:A total of 8 507 people were investigated from 2015 to 2019. The total infection rate of intestinal parasites was 1.75% (149/8 507), and no protozoa was detected. A total of 4 species of intestinal worms were detected, including 1.41% (120/8 507) of whipworm, 0.16% (14/8 507) of ascaris, 0.14% (12/8 507) of pinworm and 0.07% (6/8 507) of hookworm. Among 149 cases of worm infection, 3 cases were ascaris and whipworm mixed infection, accounting for 2.01%. The infection rate of pinworm was 1.90% (11/578) in 578 children aged 3 - 9 years detected by transparent adhesive paper anal swab. From 2015 to 2019, the incidence of intestinal parasites infection first increased and then decreased, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 469.38, P < 0.05). The infection rates of male and female were 1.72% (70/4 071) and 1.78% (79/4 436), respectively, with no significant difference between them (χ 2 = 0.05, P > 0.05). There was a significant difference of intestinal parasites infection rate in different age groups (χ 2 = 23.34, P < 0.05). The infection rate of intestinal parasites in ≥80 years old group was the highest with 2.84% (8/282). There was a significant difference of intestinal parasites infection rate among different professionals (χ 2 = 41.71, P < 0.05). Intestinal parasites infection rate of farmers was the highest with 2.58% (113/4 388). There was a significant difference of intestinal parasites infection rate among people with different cultural degree(χ 2 = 51.91, P < 0.05). Infection rate of illiterate people was the highest with 4.98% (16/321). Parasitic infection was detected in 10 counties (cities, districts), except Laishan District. The highest infection rate was Haiyang City (10.18%, 102/1 002), and the results of other counties (cities, districts) were lower than 1.20%. There was significant difference in infection rate in different regions (χ 2 = 433.87, P < 0.05). The infection rate in urban area was 0.51% (22/4 281), and the infection rate in rural area was 3.01% (127/4 226). The difference between urban and rural areas was statistically significant (χ 2 = 76.70, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The infection rate of intestinal parasites has been reduced to a lower level in rural area of Yantai City, and farmers are the key prevention and control population of intestinal parasites infection, so attention should be paid to strengthen the publicity of parasitic disease prevention and control.

Objective:To observe the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) image characteristics of polypoid choroidal vascular disease (PCV) after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs, and to discuss its significance in the diagnosis and follow-up of PCV.Methods:A retrospective case study. From August 2018 to January 2020, 22 eyes of 22 patients with PCV diagnosed in the ophthalmological examination of Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University were included in the study. Among them, there were 10 males with 10 eyes and 12 females with 12 eyes; the average age was 67.75±9.53 years. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), OCTA, and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) were performed. All the affected eyes were injected vitreously with 10 mg/ml Conbercept 0.05 ml (including Conbercept 0.5 mg) once a month for 3 consecutive months.Tthe macular area of 3 mm×3 mm and 6 mm×6 mm with an OCTA instrument was scanned, and the foveal retinal thickness (CRT) was measured, the area of abnormal branch blood vessels (BVN). pigment epithelial detachment before and 12 months after treatment (PED) height, foveal choroid thickness (SFCT) were performed. The diagnosis rate of PCV by OCTA was observed, as well as the changes of various indicators of BCVA and OCTA. Before and after treatment, BCVA and CRT were compared by paired t test; BVN area, PED height, and SFCT were compared by variance analysis. The changes in imaging characteristics of OCTA before and after treatment were analyzed. Results:Among the 22 eyes, 8 eyes were BVN; 5 eyes were polypoid lesions (polyps); 5 eyes were BVN combined with polyps; 3 eyes were not found with BVN and polyps; 1 eye with small vascular network structure, this eye was ICGA Appears as strong nodular fluorescence (polyps). The detection rate of PCV by OCTA was 86.36% (19/22). Twelve months after treatment, BVN was significantly reduced or disappeared in 16 eyes (72.72%, 16/22); polyps disappeared in 17 eyes (77.27%, 17/22). Compared with before treatment, 12 months after treatment, BCVA increased ( t=3.071), CRT decreased ( t=2.440), the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); the average BVN area, PED height, and SFCT decreased. The difference in average BVN area and PED height was statistically significant ( F=2.805, 3.916; P<0.05), and the difference in SFCT was not statistically significant ( F=0.047, P>0.05). Conclusions:The detection rate of PCV by OCTA is 86.36%. After PCV anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drug treatment, BVN area decrease and polyps subside. OCTA is an effective means for PCV diagnosis and follow-up after anti-VEGF drug treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the advantages and technical limitations of various molecular genetic techniques in the diagnosis of two infants featuring all-round developmental retardation. METHODS: The two patients were initially screened by using chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). For patient 1, his parents were also subjected to CMA analysis, and the data was analyzed by using ChAS and UPD-tool software. For patient 2, methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR) was carried out. RESULTS: Patient 1 was diagnosed with maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) type Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) by CMA and UPD-tool family analysis. His chromosomes 15 were of maternal UPD with homology/heterology. Patient 2 was diagnosed with deletion type PWS by combined CMA and MS-PCR. CONCLUSION Correct selection of laboratory methods based on the advantages and limitations of various molecular techniques can help with diagnosis of genomic imprinting disorders and enable better treatment and prognosis through early intervention.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of fulminant myocarditis in children.Methods:The clinical data of 67 children with clinical diagnosis of viral myocarditis from January 2015 to December 2018 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The children were divided into fulminant myocarditis group( n=13)and common myocarditis group( n=54). The clinical data of gender, age, history of pre-infection, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and imaging findings were compared between the two groups.The multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors of fulminant myocarditis. Results:(1)Seven cases(53.8%)died in the fulminant myocarditis group, 4 cases(30.8%) of them died within 24 hours after admission, and all the children in the common myocarditis group improved and discharged.(2)The incidences of facial cyanosis, abdominal distension, convulsions, and chills were higher in the fulminant myocarditis group than those in the common myocarditis group( P<0.05). (3)The level of creatinekinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, α-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase and aspartate transferase in the fulminant myocarditis group were higher than those in the common myocarditis group( P<0.05). (4)On electrocardiogram, QRS wave duration in the fulminant myocarditis group was longer than that in the common myocarditis group[118(82, 127)ms vs.62(62, 122)ms, P<0.05]. The incidences of ventricular tachycardia in the fulminant myocarditis group was higher than that in the common myocarditis group( P<0.05). (5)In the fulminant myocarditis group, the incidences of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)decreased, the left ventricular short axis fraction shortening(LVFS), and the incidence of left ventricular enlargement were higher than those in the common myocarditis group[92.3%(12/13)vs.18.5%(10/54), 84.6%(11/13)vs.9.3%(5/54), 76.9%(10/13)vs.13.0%(7/54), P<0.05]. Chest X-ray examination of the fulminant myocarditis group showed that the incidences of heart shadow enlargement and pulmonary blood stasis were higher than those in the common myocarditis group( P<0.05). (6)Multiple Logistic regression analysis revealed that LVEF reduction( OR=19.015, 95% CI 1.456-248.348, P=0.025), LVFS reduction( OR=18.691, 95% CI 2.062-169.453, P=0.009)and prolonged QRS wave duration( OR=1.040, 95% CI 1.001-1.082, P=0.046) were independent risk factors for fulminant myocarditis. Conclusion:The early mortality of fulminant myocarditis is high in children, and the LVEF reduction, LVFS reduction and prolonged QRS wave duration are independent risk factors for fulminant myocarditis.
