Objective: To investigate the nutritional status and influencing factors among Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents aged 7-18 years in high-altitude regions, so as to provide evidence for early prevention and control of malnutrition in this population. Methods: From May to June 2022, a cluster sampling method was employed to recruit 1 019 Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents aged 7-18 years from two primary and secondary schools in Golmud City. Physical examinations, dietary frequency questionnaires, and physical activity assessments were conducted. Nutritional status was classified as obesity, combined overweight/obesity, underweight, or central obesity according to national standards including Screening for Overweight and Obesity among School-age Children and Adolescents, Screening Standard for Malnutrition of School-age Children and Adolescents, Blue Book on Obesity Prevention and Control in China. Chi-square tests, t-test and Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with different nutritional statuses. Results: The detection rates of obesity, combined overweight/obesity, underweight, and central obesity were 8.0%, 18.1%, 5.2%, and 19.7%, respectively. The height of children and adolescents across all age groups was generally lower than the national standard values. Tibetan participants exhibited significantly lower height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ)(9-10, 13-17 years, Z =2.01, 2.78, 4.16, 3.38, 4.12, 3.63, 3.00) and BMI-for-age Z-scores (BAZ) compared to Mongolian participants ( Z =-2.95, -2.47, -2.31, -2.89, -2.14, -2.17)( P < 0.05 ). Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that Mongolian children and adolescents had higher risks of obesity ( OR =2.20) and combined overweight/obesity ( OR = 2.18 ) ( P <0.05). Additionally, insufficient moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was associated with an increased risk of central obesity ( OR =1.48, P <0.05), compared with children and adolescents who meet the standard of MVPA. Conclusions The rates of overweight and obesity among Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents in Golmud City are higher, influenced by multiple factors. Nutrition interventions and physical activity strategies tailored to ethnic characteristics should be implemented, with emphasis on promoting MVPA to improve nutritional outcomes in this population.

In order to save life, unconventional measures can be used when it is necessary.

Objective:To investigate the biological behavior spectrum of platelet-derived growth factor alpha receptor (PDGFRA)-mutant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and to compare the clinical values of the Zhongshan method of benign and malignant evaluation with the modified National Institutes of Health (NIH) risk stratification.Methods:A total of 119 cases of GIST with PDGFRA mutation who underwent surgical resection at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 2009 to 2020 were collected. The clinicopathological data, follow-up records, and subsequent treatment were reviewed and analyzed statistically.Results:There were 79 males and 40 females. The patients ranged in age from 25 to 80 years, with a median age of 60 years. Among them, 115 patients were followed up for 1-154 months, and 13 patients progressed to disease. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were 90.1% and 94.1%, respectively. According to the modified NIH risk stratification, 8 cases, 32 cases, 38 cases, and 35 cases were very-low risk, low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk, and 5-year DFS were 100.0%, 95.6%, 94.3%, and 80.5%, respectively. There was no significant difference in prognosis among the non-high risk groups, only the difference between high risk and non-high risk groups was significant ( P=0.029). However, the 5-year OS was 100.0%, 100.0%, 95.0% and 89.0%, and there was no difference ( P=0.221). According to the benign and malignant evaluation Zhongshan method, 43 cases were non-malignant (37.4%), 56 cases were low-grade malignant (48.7%), 9 cases were moderately malignant (7.8%), and 7 cases were highly malignant (6.1%). The 5-year DFS were 100.0%, 91.7%, 77.8%, 38.1%, and the difference was significant ( P<0.001). The 5-year OS were 100.0%, 97.5%, 77.8%, 66.7%, the difference was significant ( P<0.001). Conclusions:GIST with PDGFRA gene mutation shows a broad range of biological behavior, ranging from benign to highly malignant. According to the Zhongshan method, non-malignant and low-grade malignant tumors are common, the prognosis after surgery is good, while the fewer medium-high malignant tumors showed poor prognosis after surgical resection. The overall biological behavior of this type of GIST is relatively inert, which is due to the low proportion of medium-high malignant GIST. The modified NIH risk stratification may not be effective in risk stratification for PDGFRA mutant GIST.

Objective: Studies on duration of untreated psychosis are common in patients with schizophrenia, but few studies have investigated the relationship between duration of untreated illness (DUI) and suicide, especially in patients with chronic schizophrenia. Therefore, we intended to investigate the relationship between DUI and suicide and clinical correlates in patients with chronic schizophrenia. Methods: A total of 1,555 Chinese patients with chronic schizophrenia were enrolled in this study. DUI was measured in years, reflecting the prolonged untreated periods observed in this population. Clinical correlates were assessed, including symptoms, cognitive functioning, and body mass index. Suicidal ideation and attempts were also examined. Statistical analyses, including multivariate models, were employed to investigate the associations between DUI and clinical correlates while controlling for potential confounders. Results: The study revealed a significant proportion (23.3%) of patients with chronic schizophrenia in China received their first treatment after a 4-year delay, with the longest untreated duration reaching 39 years. Patients with longer DUI exhibited more severe negative symptoms, lower immediate memory scores, a higher likelihood of being overweight, and surprisingly, a reduced likelihood of suicidal ideation and attempts. Each additional year of untreated illness was associated with a 3% decrease in the risk of suicidal ideation and attempts. Conclusion The findings underscore the prevalence of extended untreated periods in Chinese patients with chronic schizophrenia and highlight the impact of DUI on negative symptoms, cognitive function, and body weight. Intriguingly, a longer DUI was associated with a lower risk of suicidal ideation and attempts.

Objective : To study the preparation method of silane and bone morphogenetic protein⁃2 (BMP⁃2) on the nano⁃porous titanium surface and evaluate the osteogenic ability of the prepared surface. Methods : Silane and BMP⁃2 modified nano⁃porous titanium surfaces were constructed by alkali⁃heat treatment , silanization modification and BMP⁃2 grafting. Scanning electron microscopy , X ⁃ray photoelectron spectroscopy , infrared spectroscopy and water contact angle tests were used to characterize the changes of surface morphology , elements , functional groups and hydrophilicity during the preparation process. Immunofluorescence was used to observe the BMP⁃2 grafted on the surface. Cell activity test and cell fluorescence staining were used to analyze the ability to promote osteoblast adhesion and proliferation , and alkaline phosphatase activity was used to evaluate the ability to promote cell osteogenesis. Results : Material characterization results confirmed that silane and BMP⁃2 were successfully immobilized on the nano⁃porous titanium surface. Cell evaluation confirmed that the prepared surface not only significantly enhanced the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts , but also greatly enhanced the osteogenic ability of osteoblasts. Conclusion The constructed surface has better compatibility with osteoblasts and is expected to improve the osseointegration ability of titanium⁃based implants.

Results:There were statistically significant differences in the expression of α-synuclein, autophagy-related proteins, microtubules, and microtubule-related proteins among cells in the 5 groups(all P<0.001). The protein expression levels of Dynhc, α-synuclein, LC3, LAMP2, p150, and KIF5B in the PD group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The protein levels of Dynhc, LAMP2, tubulin and p150 in the Dynhc interference group were lower than those in the PD group (all P<0.05), while the protein levels of α-synuclein, LC3 and KIF5B were higher than those in the PD group (all P<0.05). The protein levels of α-synuclein, LC3, and KIF5B in the Dynhc overexpression group were lower than those in the PD group (all P<0.05), while the protein levels of Dynhc, LAMP2 and p150 were higher than those in the PD group (all P<0.05). The protein level of LC3 in the Dynhc interference+ rapamycin group was higher than that in the Dynhc interference group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the protein levels of Dynhc, α-synuclein, LAMP2, microtubule protein, p150 and KIF5B compared to the Dynhc interference group (all P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the cell apoptosis rate in PD group increased((12.77±1.66)%, (7.64±1.45)%), the microtubule morphology remained unchanged, and autophagosomes fused more with lysosomes. Compared with the PD group, the cell apoptosis rate of Dynhc overexpression group decreased, and there was no significant change in microtubule structure, and there was more fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes.Compared with the PD group, the cell apoptosis rat of Dynhc interference group increased((18.45±1.91)%), and the microtubule morphology was sparse, and there was less fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes. Compared with the PD group, the Dynhc overexpression group showed a decrease in cell apoptosis rate ((9.95±1.56)%), no significant changes in microtubule structure, and more fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes.Compared with the Dynhc interference group, the Dynhc interference+ rapamycin group showed no significant changes in cell apoptosis rate ((19.05±2.46)%), microtubule morphology, and fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes. Conclusion:Dynhc can reduce cell apoptosis by enhancing cell ALP function, increasing the degradation of α-synuclein and maintaining of microtubule structure integrity.

Objective: To investigate the potential relationship between sensory characteristics and gray matter volumes in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), to provide a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of children with ASD. Methods: A total of 40 ASD children who were treated or recovered in Xi an medical institutions and 16 typically developing (TD) children who were from several kindergatens in Xi an were invited for participation. Sensory characteristics were evaluated by the sensory processing and self regulation checklist, 3D structural brain images were obtained with TIWI, and gray matter volumes were analyzed by voxel based morphometry. Sensory characteristics and gray matter volumes were compared between groups and the relationship between sensory characteristics and different gray matter volumes were analyzed. Results: The scores of auditory, visual, tactile, sensory processing ability and sensory under responsivity in the ASD group were lower than those in the TD group ( Z/t =-2.63, -2.57 , -3.11, -2.19, -3.83, P <0.05). Gray matter volumes in nine brain regions increased in the ASD group compared to the TD group, including the left and right posterior inferior lobe, right parahippocamal gyrus, left insula, left media frontal gyrus, left superion occipital gyrus, right superion occipital gyrus, right superion parietal lobe, and right posterion central gyrus ( t =3.53, 3.69 , 3.37, 3.86, 3.61, 3.37, 4.04, 3.38, 3.16, P <0.01). In the ASD group, the scores of visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, sensory processing ability, sensory seeking behavior and sensory over responsivity were negatively correlated with gray matter volumes of left superior occipital gyrus ( r =-0.36, -0.40, -0.39, -0.36, -0.40, -0.36), and the scores of visual, vestibular, and sensory over responsivity were negatively correlated with gray matter volumes of the right superior parietal lobule ( r =-0.36, -0.50, -0.42)( P <0.05). Conclusion The presence of paresthesia in children with ASD is associated with gray matter volumes of the left superior occipital gyrus and right superior parietal lobule.
