Objective:
To investigate the subclinical eating disorders among college students and to analyze associated factors, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of eating disorders among adolescents.
Methods:
From November to December 2023, a total of 5 201 college students were selected by stratified random cluster sampling from one undergraduate college and one specialized college in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Data on general information, subclinical eating disorders, body image perception, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and mental health literacy were collected using questionnaires. The Chisquare test was used to compare the detection rates of subclinical eating disorders between groups, and binary Logistic regression was employed to analyze associated factors.
Results:
The detection rate of subclinical eating disorders among college students was 16.0%. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the prevalence of subclinical eating disorders among college students was higher in the following categories:being in a relationship (OR=1.22, 95%CI=1.04-1.44), being overweight and obese (OR=2.75, 3.82, 95%CI=2.24-3.38, 2.89-5.06), overestimation of body shape (OR=2.04, 95%CI=1.68-2.49), being in a depressive state (OR=2.53, 95%CI=1.99-3.21), experiencing anxiety (OR=2.63, 95%CI=2.16-3.20), and having substandard mental health literacy (OR=1.37, 95%CI=1.11-1.70). Conversely, low body weight (OR=0.15, 95%CI=0.10-0.22) and underestimation of body shape (OR=0.37, 95%CI=0.27-0.51) were associated with a lower risk (P<0.05).
Conclusions
The detection rate of subclinical eating disorders among college students is high, and it is associated with relationship status, body mass index classification, body shape perception, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and mental health literacy. Comprehensive interventions should be implemented to improve the subclinical eating disorders and promote the physical and mental health of college students.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, which is a serious threat to human health. HBV infection is one of the most common causes of hepatocellular carcinoma.The diagnosis of most hepatocellular carcinoma has progressed to the middle and late stage, and the prognosis is poor. Early detection, diagnosis and treatment are important supports to improve the clinical outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have established various hepatocellular carcinoma risk prediction models, which are conducive to improving the early diagnosis rate of hepatocellular carcinoma and reducing the mortality rate. This article reviews the risk factors and risk prediction models of chronic hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma, in order to provide reference for HBV-associated liver cancer risk monitoring and management decision.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect and molecular mechanism of solute carrier family 1 member 5 (SLC1A5) -tetraspanin superfamily member 1 (TM4SF1) complex on cisplatin resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. Methods SLC1A5-overexpressing Eca109 cells were constructed using lentiviral vectors, and the effect of SLC1A5 on cisplatin sensitivity was assessed through cell viability assays. Western blotting (WB) was employed to detect SLC1A5 expression in Eca109 cells and cisplatin-resistant Eca109 cells (Eca109-R). SLC1A5 expression was knocked down in Eca109-R cells using lentiviral vectors, and cisplatin sensitivity was examined thereafter. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was utilized to analyze the influence of SLC1A5 knockdown on the expression of key genes involved in DNA damage repair in Eca109-R cells. In SLC1A5-knockdown Eca109-R cells, cell viability assays were performed to evaluate the sensitivity to cisplatin after RAD50 overexpression. Additionally, Eca109 cells were separately or co-overexpressed with SLC1A5 and TM4SF1 using lentiviral vectors, and the effect of the SLC1A5-TM4SF1complex on RAD50 expression and cisplatin resistance was examined through cell viability assays. Results Compared with control cells, Eca109 cells overexpressing SLC1A5 exhibited enhanced cisplatin resistance (

Objective To investigate the biological characteristics of the serine protease inhibitor 15 (RmS-15) protein of Rhipicephalus microplus, and to perform molecular cloning and prokaryotic expression. Methods RmS-15 gene was amplified and sequenced to construct a phylogenetic tree to understand its evolutionary relationships. Bioinformatic tools were used to analyze the physicochemical properties, signal peptide, secondary and tertiary structure of the RmS-15 protein. In addition, DNA star and ABCpred were used to predict potential B-lymphocyte antigenic epitopes of RmS-15 protein, and potential T-lymphocyte antigenic epitopes were predicted by SYF-PEITHI and IEDB. Finally, the RmS-15 recombinant protein of Rhipicephalus microplus was obtained using the E.coli prokaryotic expression system and purified. Results The RmS-15 gene with 1 212 bp was successfully amplified, encoding a protein comprising 403 amino acids. Phylogenetic tree results indicated high conservation of the RmS-15 protein among different tick amino acid sequences, with the closest phylogenetic relationships to the Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides and the Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The results of physicochemical property analysis showed a 20-amino acid signal peptide at the N-terminus of the RmS-15 protein, with a relative molecular weight and theoretical isoelectric point of 44 000 and 6.68, respectively. The protein showed an average hydrophilicity of 0.001, classifying it as a stably hydrophilic protein. The results of antigenicity analysis showed that the dominant fragments of B-cell antigenic epitopes of RmS-15 protein were 102-112 aa,147-152 aa and 207-215 aa, and the dominant fragments of T-cell antigenic epitopes were 3-11 aa, 6-14 aa, 27-33 aa, 34-37 aa. Protein expression results showed that RmS-15 protein exhibited high expression levels in the supernatant after induction with 0.8 mmol/L IPTG at 16 ℃ for 24 hours and reached a successful purification with a single band of the protein molecular weight of 44 000. Conclusions The method of prokaryotic expression and purification of RmS-15 protein from Rhipicephalus microplus was successfully established. Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated its strong antigenicity, suggesting its potential to develop as a candidate vaccine for ticks.

【Objective】 To study how blood donation intention among college students was influenced by publicity information (framework effect), individual characteristic (altruistic personality) and micro-system of the social ecological systems(organization trust) through the viewpoints of social psychology, sociology and behavioral economics, aiming at providing new strategies for donors recruitment in colleges. 【Methods】 A total of 1 225 questionnaires were distributed to four universities in Xiamen and Quanzhou, Fujian Province from June 2021 to December 2021, with blood donation publicity information included, to investigate the blood donation intention, altruistic personality, organization trust and demographic characteristics. 【Results】 A total of 99.18%(1 215/1 225)of the collected questionnaires were valid.The average score of blood donation intention was (76.40 ± 24.31) (the range of value was 0-100). Multiple linear regression showed that altruistic personality and organization trust were positively associated with donation intention (P<0.05). Altruistic personality and organization trust had a significant interaction; with the increase of organization trust, the correlation between altruistic personality and donation intention would decrease (P<0.05). In addition, the publicity information had significant frame effect on blood donation intention when other variables in the regression model were controlled (P<0.05). Compared to the negative framework, the positive framework can promote the donation intention better. 【Conclusion】 When recruiting potential blood donors among college students, positive image of blood centers is conductive to promote organization trust therefore promote donation intention.The effective use of framework effect to boost blood donation intention might improve the efficiency of donor recruitment to a certain extent.

Objective:To investigate the safety and consistency of domestic inhaled allergen extracts in the diagnosis of allergic diseases in children.Methods:Nine thousand five hundred and sixty-three children diagnosed with allergic diseases from September 2018 to June 2020 in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pedia-trics were selected in this study, and all of them were subjected to skin prick test(SPT), and 415 of them were subjected to serum specific IgE (sIgE) test at the same time.The adverse events during SPT were recorded and the consistency of the results between SPT and sIgE test was analyzed.Results:There were 14 cases with adverse events in 9 563 patients, and the overall incidence was 0.15%.The incidence of adverse events was 0.07% (2/2 581 cases) in the 1-5 years old group, 0.19% (12/6 197 cases) in the 6-11 years old and 0 in the 12-17 years old group.The severity of all these events was grade Ⅰ.Out of the 14 cases with adverse events, only 1 case was considered to be related to allergen preparations, with the incidence being 0.01% (1/9 563 cases). The Kappa index showed that the results of dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, dermatophagoides farinae, alternaria and artemisia measured by SPT and sIgE were almost the same.There was high consistency between tree pollens and ragweed ( P<0.01), and moderate consistency between aspergillus fumigatus ( P<0.01). When the results of sIgE were used as the diagnostic criteria, the Youden index for the results of SPT ranged from 0.76 to 0.89, with aspergillus fumigatus (0.76) and tree pollens mixture (0.79) as the lowest.The positive likelihood ratio for most of the inhaled allergens was more than 10 except for tree pollens mixture (7.12) and dermatophagoides farinae (9.10). The negative likelihood ratio for most of the inhaled allergens was less than or equal to 0.1 except for aspergillus fumigatus (0.19). Conclusions:The domestic inhaled allergen extracts had high safety in the clinical application of SPT, and their results of SPT had good consistency with those of serum sIgE, which was conducive to the diagnosis and evaluation of allergic diseases in children.
