Journal of Public Health and Preventive Medicine 2025;36(2):82-85
Objective To investigate common problems in motor development in high-risk infants and explore related influencing factors. Methods The high-risk infants who underwent the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) at the Early Childhood Development Department of Ma39;anshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Professional evaluation was conducted, and demographic information variables were collected. Finally, effective data of 1106 cases were obtained. The 2 test, t-test, or F-test were used to compare differences, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the relevant factors influencing TIMP scores. Results According to the TIMP assessment, the incidence rates of developmental deviation and abnormality were 32.73% (362 /1 106) and 3.98% (44/1 106), respectively. Gender, birth weight, gestational age, test week age, and clinical impression were the influencing factors for TIMP scores (t-values=2.33, 2.26, -2.78, 23.35, and -8.48, all P<0.05). In the elicited items, except for the midline position of 15“ without vision and the upper limb defense of 30“, the scores of deviant and abnormal subjects were lower than those of excellent and good subjects, and the differences were statistically significant (P values<0.05). Conclusion The Chinese version of TIMP can reflect the level of exercise ability in high-risk infants and is suitable for early assessment of high-risk infants.

Objective To investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection on the early clinical outcomes of patients undergoing valve replacement. Methods Perioperative data of patients who underwent single valve replacement at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chinese People39;s Liberation Army Medical University from January to February 2023 were consecutively collected. Based on COVID-19 infection status, patients were divided into a COVID-19 group and a non-COVID-19 group. The perioperative data were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 136 patients were included, comprising 53 males and 83 females, with a mean age of (53.4±10.2) years. There were 32 patients receiving aortic valve replacements, 102 mitral valve replacements, and 2 tricuspid valve replacements. The COVID-19 group comprised 70 patients, and the non-COVID-19 group included 66 patients. No statistical difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups [9.09% (6/66) vs. 11.43% (8/70), P=0.654]. However, the COVID-19 group had longer postoperative mechanical ventilation duration [1 201.00 (1 003.75, 1 347.75) min vs. 913.50 (465.50, 1 251.00) min, P=0.001] and ICU stay [3 (2, 3) days vs. 2 (2, 3) days, P<0.001] compared to the non-COVID-19 group. Additionally, troponin I [4.76 (2.55, 7.93) ng/mL vs. 2.66 (1.19, 5.65) ng/mL, P=0.001] and brain natriuretic peptide [608.50 (249.75, 1 150.00) pg/mL vs. 192.00 (100.93, 314.75) pg/mL, P<0.001] levels were significantly higher in the COVID-19 group. Conclusion For patients with single valve disease undergoing elective surgery, short-term outcomes after recovery from COVID-19 infection are favorable, with no significant increase in in-hospital mortality or postoperative complication rates.

Objective To analyze and compare the disease burden, trends, and influencing factors of lung cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, providing a reference for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer in China. Methods Indicators of lung cancer disease burden in different genders and age groups in 204 countries or regions from 1990 to 2021 were retrieved and standardized from GBD 2021 database. The Joinpoint regression model was used to calculate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) of the standardized rates of lung cancer in AYAs in China and globally from 1990 to 2021; changes in incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates due to population growth, aging, and epidemiological changes were analyzed; differences in lung cancer disease burden in AYAs in different socio-demographic index (SDI) regions were analyzed; and the influencing factors of lung cancer in AYAs in China and globally were explored. Results From 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) (AAPC=−0.18%, P<0.001), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) (AAPC=−0.62%, P<0.001), and age-standardized DALYs rate (AAPC=−0.62%, P<0.001) of lung cancer in AYAs in China showed a downward trend, consistent with the global trend, but the decline in China was relatively small. During this period, the age-standardized rates of various indicators of lung cancer in males in China and globally were higher than those in females, and the burden of lung cancer in Chinese males was heavier. However, due to the significant downward trend in males, the gap in lung cancer burden between males and females was narrowing. At the same time, from 2013 to 2021, the ASIR [annual percent change (APC)=2.01%, P<0.001], ASMR (APC=1.46%, P<0.001), and standardized DALYs rate (APC=1.46%, P<0.001) in China showed an upward trend. From 1990 to 2021, among the main influencing factors for the incidence, mortality, and DALYs rates of lung cancer in Chinese AYAs, the contribution of aging was upward-pushing, while the increase in global indicators was mainly attributed to population growth. The global burden of lung cancer in AYAs was overly concentrated in high SDI regions. Although the gap in lung cancer burden between high SDI and low SDI regions was narrowing, it remained widespread. Globally, smoking, environmental PM2.5, insufficient fruit intake, second-hand smoke, and indoor air pollution were prominent risk factors. Conclusion From 1990 to 2021, the global and Chinese AYAs lung cancer incidence and mortality rates generally show a downward trend, but the female lung cancer burden relatively increases, especially in young women without a history of smoking. Continued efforts are needed to reduce the burden of lung cancer in AYAs, especially the specific risk for young women.

Objective To analyze a new classification of the left apicoposterior segmental bronchus and summarize its clinical significance. Methods We accessed the computed tomography imaging data of the inpatients treated in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Henan Provincial People39;s Hospital between January and November 2021. We observed and classified the branching pattern of the left apicoposterior segmental bronchus (B1+2) using three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) technique. And we filtered out the patients who underwent thoracoscopic left apicoposterior segmentectomy and analyzed their clinical data retrospectively to summarize the instructing significance of different bronchial classification in the accurate and safe operation of left apicoposterior segmentectomy. Results Finally 240 patients were collected, including 131 males and 109 females with a median age of 51.0 (19.0-77.0) years. The anatomical pattern of the left apicoposterior segmental bronchus was divided into four main types based on the branching pattern of the outer subsegmental bronchi (B1+2c): type Ⅰ 10% (24 patients), type Ⅱ 54% (130 patients) , type Ⅲ 17% (40 patients) , type Ⅳ 18% (43 patients) and other variations 1% (3 patients). Thirty-two patients smoothly underwent thoracoscopic left apicoposterior segmentectomy, including 23 patients of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ receiving LS1+2 resection, the other 9 patients of type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ receiving LS1+2 resection (3 patients), LS1+2c resection (4 patients) and LS1+2(a+b) resection (2 patients). Conclusion This new classification systematically and concisely elucidates the branching characteristics of the left apicoposterior bronchus. Different branching types are instructive to the left apicoposterior segmentectomy.

Objective :
To investigate the possible mechanism of metformin (Met) -induced cardiomyocyte autoph- agy in protecting myocardial injury in septic mice.
Methods :
The model of myocardial injury in septic mice was es- tablished by cecal ligation and puncture ( CLP) .Sixty Kunming mice were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham group) ,model group ( CLP group) ,model + dimethyl sulfoxide ( DMSO) group ( CLP + DMSO group) ,model + metformin (Met) group (Met group) ,model + Met + 3-methyladenine (3-MA) group (Met + 3- MA group) ,model + Met + compound C ( CC) group (Met + CC group) ,with 10 mice in each group.The Met, Met + 3-MA and Met + CC groups were intraperitoneally injected with Met (200 mg / kg) once a day for 2 weeks be- fore modeling.The Met + 3-MA group was intraperitoneally injected with 3-MA ( 10 mg / kg) 1 h before surgery. The Met + CC group was intraperitoneally injected with CC (20 mg / kg) 30 min before surgery.The model was es- tablished 24 h after the last injection of Met.The heart and blood of all mice were collected 24 h after surgery.The Western blot technique was employed to assess the relative expression levels of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) isoforms,namely LC3 I and LC3 II,autophagy effector protein 1 (Beclin-1) ,ubiquitin-bind- ing protein 62 (p62) ,B-cell lymphoma / leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) ,Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) ,adenosine mono- phosphate (AMP) kinase (AMPK) and phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK) .Myocardial pathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.The changes of myocardial mitochondria and autophagosomes were observed by electron microscopy.Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of myocardium. Electron microscopy was used to observe the changes of myocardial mitochondria and autophago- somes.
Results :
Compared with Sham group,the relative protein expression of Beclin-1,p62,p-AMPK / AMPK and LC3 II / LC3 I in CLP and CLP + DMSO groups had no statistical significance,but Bax increased and Bcl-2 de- creased in CLP group (P<0. 01) .Compared with CLP group,the relative expression of Beclin-1 protein and LC3 II / LC3 I in Met group increased and p62 decreased (P<0. 01) ,Bax decreased and Bcl-2 increased (P<0. 01) . Compared with Met group,the relative protein expression of Beclin-1 and LC3 II / LC3 I in Met + 3-MA group de- creased and p62 increased (P<0. 05) ,Bax increased and Bcl-2 decreased (P<0. 05) .Besides,the relative pro- tein expression of p-AMPK / AMPK in Met + CC group decreased (P<0. 05) .HE staining showed that there was no disorder in myocardial fibers in Sham group,and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated the myocardial fibers of CLP group in a clear disorder.The Met group showed vacuolar changes in the myocardium,while the Met + 3-MA group showed disordered arrangement of myocardial fibers and a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltra- tion.Under electron microscopy,the morphology of myocardial mitochondria in the Sham group was normal,while in the CLP group,the arrangement of mitochondrial cristae was disordered with vacuolar changes,and occasional autophagosomes were observed.Mitochondria in Met group showed slight swelling and a large number of autophago- somes.The mitochondria in the Met + 3-MA group showed significant swelling with a small amount of autophago- somes.
Conclusion
The protective effect of metformin on myocardial injury in septic mice can reduce cardiomyo- cyte apoptosis and improve mitochondrial damage by activating AMPK signaling pathway to induce autophagy.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of new elderly malignant tumor cases in Tongren City from 2018 to 2022, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of elderly malignant tumor in this area. Methods A retrospective analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of cases aged 60 and above who were first diagnosed with malignant tumors by pathology in our hospital from 2018 to 2022 was conducted based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Results The incidence rate of elderly malignant tumors in Tongren City increased from 123.83/100 000 in 2018 to 126.14/100 000 in 2022, and the incidence rate showed a trend of first rising and then declining. The top five tumors in incidence rate are lung cancer, rectal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer and cervical cancer. The tumor order has changed over the years except lung cancer, which was the first. Lung cancer was the main high incidence tumor among the elderly of all ages. With the increase of age, the number of bladder cancer patients increases significantly, and the number of colon cancer patients also shows an upward trend. The prevalence rate of lung cancer(χ2=16.032,P=0.014) , liver cancer(χ2=8.099,P=0.030) , bladder cancer(χ2=11.274 , P=0.018) , and gastric cancer(χ2=19.387 , P=0.011) in elderly people of different sexes was generally higher in men than in women, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Lung cancer , rectal cancer and liver cancer, as the malignant tumors with high case composition and rapid increase in the elderly, can be the focus of early screening and prevention of malignant tumors in the elderly in Tongren City, and men should pay more attention.

OBJECTIVE To observe the toxic effects of single administration and repeated administration of Qingzi granules for 13 weeks on rats, and to evaluate their preclinical safety. METHODS For the single dose toxicity experiment, SD rats were randomly divided into two groups, vehicle control group(deionized water) and Qingzi group(18 g·kg-1), which were given in a volume of 30 mL·kg-1 per time, twice in 24 h(interval more than 4 h), and observation was performed for 14 d after administration. The toxicity reaction was evaluated through observation of body weight change and pathological anatomy. For the repeated dose toxicity experiment, juvenile SD rats(postnatal day, PND 4) were randomly divided into vehicle control group (deionized water) and low, medium and high dose of Qingzi groups(1, 2 and 4 g·kg-1). The rats were orally administered twice daily with vehicle or Qingzi for 13 weeks in a volume of 10 mL·kg-1 per time. A recovery period of 4 weeks was followed. Test items included clinical observations, body weight measurement, food intake measurement, hematology test, biochemical test, urinalysis, sex hormone level determination, cellular immune function assay, growth indexes and histopathology test. RESULTS For the single dose toxicity experiment, Qingzi granules were orally administered to SD rats without significant toxicity, and the maximum-tolerated dose was greater than 18 g·kg-1. In the repeated dose toxicity test, juvenile SD rats were given Qingzi granules by gavage and repeated administration for 13 weeks, the no observed adverse effect level was 2 g·kg-1. The target organ of toxicity was the liver and the main toxic effect was inflammatory necrosis of hepatocytes, no dose-dependent relationship. CONCLUSION No overt toxicity of Qingzi granules was observed on the tested animals within the intended clinical dosage range.
