ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the public health emergency response capacity in primary and secondary schools, and to explore the problems and challenges in the prevention and control of public health emergency in primary and secondary schools for specific strategies.@*Methods@#By using the stratified group sampling method, a questionnaire survey on general situation, knowledge, attitude and training, as well as public health emergencies response capacity among 2 988 teachers or leaders responsible for school emergency response in primary and secondary schools from Beijing, Chongqing and Yunnan.@*Results@#Participants varied on their positions, titles, educational background and knowledge accuracy. Higher knowledge accuracy was associated with higher educational background ( χ 2=50.73-203.36, P < 0.05 ). The implementation of regular public health emergency related programs was poorly conducted in high schools (50.0%). Urban schools (42.0%) had higher proportion of qualified health care professionals than rural schools (18.2%), and private schools (48.5%) was higher than public schools (24.7%). The primary challenges included the shortage of guidance from professionals and the lack of related testing equipment (84.91%, 74.03%).@*Conclusion@#Although the ability of emergency handling of public health emergencies in schools in the three regions is advancing with the times, there are still many deficiencies, some omissions in the mastery of knowledge. It is suggested to inerease pre service and special training of school health work CDC should strengthen technical guidance and work supervision of infectious disease management in schools.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the mediating effect of maternal emotional symptoms on maternal adverse experiences and children s emotional behavior problems, so as to provide a scientific basis for family intervention of children with emotional behavior problems.@*Methods@#A multi stage sampling method was used to select 12 kindergartens in 3 districts and counties of Wuhu City. The questionnaire star method was used to investigate the love of homosexuality in families and children, children s emotional behavior development questionnaire, mother s life experience questionnaire, mother s emotional symptoms questionnaire, etc. SPSS 23.0 software was used for general descriptive analysis and Spearman correlation analysis. GLS method was used to evaluate the mediating effect of maternal mental health level between maternal adverse experiences and childrens emotional and behavioral problems.@*Results@#The difficulty factor score in the Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ) of preschool children in Wuhu City was (10.08±4.05) points, the abnormal detection rate of the total difficulty score was 6.6%, and the abnormal detection rate of prosocial behavior was 16.5%, the total score of mother s adverse experience was positively correlated with the total score of mother s SDQ difficulties and the scores of mother s depression, anxiety and stress symptoms. The total score of children s SDQ difficulties was positively correlated with the scores of mother s depression, anxiety and stress emotions( r=0.17-0.71, P < 0.01). The results of mediating effect analysis showed that the intermediate effect coefficients of maternal depression, anxiety, stress and other emotions between the total score of maternal adverse experience and the total score of children s SDQ difficulties were statistically significant( P <0.05), and the mediating effect accounted for 22.6%, 15.2% and 17.1% of the total effect, respectively.@*Conclusion@#The relationship between maternal adverse childhood experiences and children s emotional behavior problems was influenced by maternal emotional symptoms. Attention to mothers early life experience and mental health is beneficial to the prevention and control of children s emotional and behavioral problems.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the prevalence of hyperuricemia in university students and examine associated factors,and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia.@*Methods@#Health examination data of 11 858 students for admission in October 2021 were used to compare the detection rates between groups with different characteristics. Multivariable Logistic regression was performed to identify potential factors associated with hyperuricemia.@*Results@#A total of 3 372 cases of hyperuricemia were found, with a detection rate of 28.4%. The detection rate of male students was significantly higher than that of female students (42.4%,14.6%). The rate increased with higher BMI. Moreover, the detection rate was higher among undergraduates and those with hypertension( χ 2=1 126.2, 180.7, 138.2 ,107.9, P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that male sex, younger age, higher BMI, hypertension and higher hemoglobin level were positively associated with hyperuricemia, whereas higher glomerular filtration rate was negatively associated among the students( P <0.01).@*Conclusion@#Greater attention should be given to hyperuricemia in university students, and targeted health education should be strengthened for them, especially undergraduates, boys, overweight and obese students, and those with hypertension or high hemoglobin levels.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the association between sleep with emotional and behavioral problems of preschool children in Wuhu City.@*Methods@#A cluster sampling survey was conducted among senior class of 12 kindergartens in Wuhu City, a total of 1 158 preschool children were investigated. The self designed questionnaire was used to investigate the general situation and sleep characteristics. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and Sleeping Quality Questionnaire for Children Aged 2-5 years were used to investigate their emotional behavior and sleep disorders.@*Results@#About 44.21% of respondents had emotional and behavioral problems, among which peer interaction was the most prominent. There were gender differences in sleeping alone and the need of comforters for sleep. 41.97% of preschool children detected at least one type of sleep disorder, and the detection rate of disturbed sleep was 33.83% in girls, which was higher than that of boys(25.97%). Abnormal sleep and disturbed sleep increased the risk of emotional and behavioral problems in preschool girls( OR=2.33, 95%CI =1.25-4.34; OR=4.92, 95%CI =1.28-19.00), adequate sleep reduced the risk( OR=0.46, 95%CI =0.27-0.77). Abnormal sleep increased the risk of boys emotional and behavioral abnormalities( OR=1.86, 95%CI =1.08-3.19), while sleeping alone reduced the risk( OR=0.59, 95%CI =0.37-0.95).@*Conclusion@#Sleep behaviors are associated with the occurrence of emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children in a sex specific manner.
ABSTRACT
Studies regarding the prognostic value of circulating adiponectin level in patients with heart failure are conflicting. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between elevated circulating adiponectin level and adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure. We searched PubMed and Embase databases from their inception to June 2018. Original observational studies that investigated the prognostic value of adiponectin in heart failure patients and reported all-cause mortality or combined endpoints of death/readmission as outcome measure were included. Pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated by higher versus lower circulating adiponectin level. A total of 7 studies involving 862 heart failure patients were identified. Meta-analysis showed that heart failure patients with higher adiponectin level had significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality (RR 2.05; 95%CI 1.22-3.43) after adjustment for potential confounders. In addition, higher adiponectin level was associated with an increased risk of the combined endpoints of death/readmission (RR 2.22; 95%CI 1.38-3.57). Elevated baseline circulating adiponectin level is possibly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and the combined endpoints of death/readmission in patients with heart failure. Determination of circulating adiponectin level has potential to improve risk stratification in heart failure patients.

Gender differences in fatigue manifest as females being more prone to feel exhaustion and having lower muscle endurance. However, the mechanisms of these effects remain unclear. We investigated whether orosomucoid, an endogenous anti-fatigue protein that enhances muscle endurance, is involved in this regulation. Female rats exhibited lower muscle endurance, and this gender difference disappeared in orosomucoid-1-deficient mice. Female rats also exhibited weaker orosomucoid induction in serum, liver and muscle in response to fatigue compared with male rats. Ovariectomy elevated orosomucoid levels and increased swimming time, and estrogen replenishment reversed these effects. Exogenous estrogen treatment in male and female mice produced opposite effects. Estrogen decreased orosomucoid expression and its promoter activity in C2C12 muscle and Chang liver cells in vitro, and estrogen receptor or p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase blockade abolished this effect. Therefore, estrogen negatively regulates orosomucoid expression that is responsible for the weaker muscle endurance in females.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the role of hepatitis B virus with A1762T/G1764A double mutation in liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, and create a sensitive, fast, accurate assay for detection of A1762T/G1764A double mutation. METHODS: We developed an accurate and fast real-time amplification refractory mutation system to detect A1762T/G1764A double mutation. Cloned hepatitis B virus genome was used as a control. Assay sensitivity was determined by serial dilution and mixed template experiments. Specificity was determined by cross experiments with wild and mutant hepatitis B virus. Fifty clinical samples were tested by the real-time amplification refractory mutation system and the results were compared with sequencing. RESULTS: The real-time amplification refractory mutation system had a sensitivity of 100 copies of virus with these mutations, and 0.1% weak population virus with double mutation could be found in mixtures. A total of 50 randomly collected clinical samples were detected by real-time amplification refractory mutation system, and the results were consistent with those by DNA sequencing. Hepatitis B virus genotype C was more prevalent in 39 of 50 samples than genotype B (11 samples), and about 75% of genotype C carried a double mutation compared to 45% of genotype B. However, the percentage of A1762T/G1764A double mutation in hepatitis B e antigen-negative (58.3%) samples was almost the same as in hepatitis B e antigen-positive (61%) samples. CONCLUSION: The real-time amplification refractory mutation system is sensitive and specific for detection of hepatitis B virus double mutation. .

In order to explore the change rule of myoblast stem cells (satellite cells, SCs) in the denervated and re-innervated muscle and to investigate the cellular mechanism of the morphological and functional changes of the muscle, denervated muscle atrophy and nerve regeneration models were established in one-month-old rats. Postoperative indexes such as muscle wet weight, cell section areas, content of collagen fibers and DNA, electrophysiology, numbers of SCs in the triceps muscle of calf were dynamically tested. After denervation, the muscle wet weight and cell area reduced rapidly, and the collagen fiber content increased slowly. The number of SCs increased at first, and then declined suddenly two months later. From 4 to 5 weeks after re-neuralization, muscle action potentials could be evoked, but the best innervation effect was found in the groups, which received re-neuralization at 2 months and 3 months after denervation. Denervation causes a progressive progress of muscle atrophy. SCs proliferate within 3 months after denervation, and then atrophy becomes irreversible from 4 months. At 4 or 5 weeks after re-neuralization, muscle action potentials can be evoked. Re-neuralization at 2 months and 3 months after denervation can achieve a good effect on the functional recovery of the atrophic muscle.
Con el fin de explorar la regla de cambio de las células precursoras mioblásticas (células satélite, CSs) en el músculo denervado y re-inervado e investigar el mecanismo celular de los cambios morfológicos y funcionales del músculo, se establecieron, en ratas de un mes de edad, modelos de atrofia del músculo denervado y regeneración del nervio. Fueron examinados de manera dinámica índices postoperatorios tales como, el peso húmedo del músculo, áreas celulares de la sección, contenido de fibras de colágeno y ADN, electrofisiología, número de CSs en el músculo tríceps de las crías. Luego de la denervación, el peso del músculo húmedo y el área celular se redujeron rápidamente, mientras que el contenido de fibras colágenas aumentó lentamente. El número de CSs aumentó al inicio, pero más tarde, a los dos meses, disminuyó repentinamente. Entre las 4 a 5 semanas después de la reneuralización, los potenciales de acción muscular pudieron ser evocados, pero el mejor efecto de inervación se encontró en los grupos que recibieron reneuralización a los 2 y 3 meses después de la denervación. La denervación causó un avance progresivo de la atrofia muscular. Las CSs proliferaron dentro de los primeros 3 meses post-denervación, y luego de los 4 meses la atrofia fue irreversible. A las 4 o 5 semanas después de la reneuralizacón, los potenciales de acción muscular pueden ser evocados. La reneuralización a los 2 y 3 meses después de la denervación puede lograr un buen efecto en la recuperación funcional del músculo atrófico.

To investigate the role of platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ib/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex and its subunit GP Ibа in patients with hemorrhagic thrombopathy (HT), the expressions of GP lb/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex and GP Ibа, defined as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), were assessed by flow cytometry.The maximum aggregation of platelet was determined by turbidity method. These indicators were compared among 68 HT patients with the presenting complaint of hemorrhage, 33 well-controlled HT patients and 32 normal healthy subjects. The results showed that the MFI of GP lblIX/V complex and GP Ibct was markedly lower in HT patients with current hemorrhage than that in the healthy subjects, with difference being statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expressions of GP lb/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex and GP lbа between well-controlled HT patients and normal healthy subjects (P>0.05). It was concluded that the expression of GP Ib/Ⅸ/Ⅴ complex, the receptor of thrombin and yon Willebrand factor, was down-regulated in HT patients with current hemorrhage,which might result in the dysfunction of platelet aggregation and recurrence of HT.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the stress distribution of bone around the implant on vertical loads.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Four linear strain gauges were placed in strategic locations. The vertical loads were applied at different points. The result of the stress was recorded at each gauge.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The load, the location of load and their interactions indicated statistically significant difference in the distribution of stress. For the single-implant-supported fixed prosthesis the greater stress values were showed at the strain gauges positioned in the implant's cervical and apical area near to loading points. For the two-implant-supported fixed bridge the greater stress values were showed at the stress gauges positioned in the two implants cervical and apical area near to loading points, especially at the implant near to loading points. As loads were applied at the cantilevered points, the magnitude of stress was directly proportional to the magnitude of load and the cantilevered length.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>For the design of the implant-supported prosthesis the relief of load and the avoidance of cantilevered prosthesis should be considered to reduce the stress of the bone around the implant.</p>
