Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the density, populations and habitats of malaria vector Anopheles in Guizhou Province from 2005 to 2019, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the countermeasures to tackle the risk of local transmission of imported malaria in the province. METHODS The malaria vector Anopheles density and populations were monitored using human bait trapping and light trapping techniques in Guizhou Province from 2005 to 2019, and all captured Anopheles was morphologically identified and counted. In addition, the distribution of Anopheles habitats was investigated. RESULTS During the period from 2005 through 2019, the malaria vector Anopheles density increased from early June in Guizhou Province, peaked on early July and then declined, which appeared a single peak. The greatest Anopheles density was seen on early August, 2018 [57.34 mosquitoes/(person-night)], and the lowest density was found on late October, 2009 [1.29 mosquitoes/(person-night)]. The annual mean Anopheles density slowly reduced from 17.91 mosquitoes/(person-night) in 2005 to 12.34 mosquitoes/(person-night) in 2012, with a 38.02% reduction (χ2trend = 115.04, P < 0.01), while the annual mean Anopheles density showed a tendency towards a rise from 2017 to 2019 (χ2trend = 420.00, P < 0.01). The malaria vector Anopheles was captured during the period between 19 : 00 and 7 : 00 of the next day in Guizhou Province from 2017 to 2019, with the overall density appearing a tendency towards a rise followed by a decline, and the Anopheles activity was highly frequent during the period between 19 : 00 and 21 : 00. The malaria vector Anopheles was monitored for 938 times using the light trapping method in Guizhou Province from 2005 to 2019, and a total of 52 781 Anopheles mosquitoes were captured, including 49 705 An. sinensis, 804 An. minimus, 238 An. anthropophagus, and 2 034 other Anopheles mosquitoes, with a significant difference seen in the Anopheles composition (χ2 = 165.68, P < 0.01). From 2017 to 2019, a total of 24 557 Anopheles mosquitoes were captured in human housings, outdoors and livestock housings in Guizhou Province, with 67.65% captured in livestock housings and 12.01% in human housings, and there was a significant difference in the number of Anopheles mosquitoes captured from the three types of habitats (χ2 = 55.04, P < 0.01). An. sinensis, An. minimus and An. anthropophagus were captured form all three types of habitats, in which 98.07% was An. sinensis, and 0.09% was An. anthropophagus. CONCLUSIONS The population structure of malaria vector Anopheles has changed in historically malaria-endemic areas of Guizhou Province, and An. sinensis has replaced An. minimus and An. anthropophagus to become the predominant malaria vector. The malaria vector Anopheles density has shown a tendency towards a rise in Guizhou Province during the recent years, and there have been a rise in the type and number of Anopheles mosquitoes, leading to a potential risk of local transmission of imported malaria. Long-term, persistent and extensive surveillance of malaria vectors is recommended in Guizhou Province.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the relationship between parental education level and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in children. Methods: The data comes from the baseline survey of the Huantai Childhood Cardiovascular Health Cohort Study (HCCH) conducted in Huantai County, Zibo City, Shandong Province. A convenient cluster sampling method was used to select a primary school in Huantai County, Zibo City, Shandong Province as a survey point. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from November 2017 to January 2018. A total of 1 316 children aged 6-11 years with complete data were included. LVH was defined as left ventricular mass index ≥ sex-and age-specific 90th percentile values of this population. Education levels of both parents were divided into junior high school or lower, high school, university or higher, respectively. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between parental education level and LVH in children. Results: The age of 1 316 participants was (8.9±1.5) years old. Among them, there were 703 boys (53.4%).After adjusting for gender, age, intake of vegetables and fruits, intake of carbonated drinks, physical activity, sleep time, screen time, overweight or obesity, and occasional hypertension, the logistic regression model results show that compared with those children whose parents' education level is junior high school or below, paternal or maternal education level of college or higher was associated with odds of LVH (father: OR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.33-0.87; mother: OR=0.52, 95%CI: 0.32-0.87; father/mother: OR=0.54,95%CI: 0.32-0.91). Conclusion: Parental education level is inversely associated with LVH in childhood. The probability of LVH in childhood decreases with the increase of parental education levels.

Abstract
The measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic ray helium nuclei from 70 GeV to 80 TeV using 4.5 years of data recorded by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is reported in this work. A hardening of the spectrum is observed at an energy of about 1.3 TeV, similar to previous observations. In addition, a spectral softening at about 34 TeV is revealed for the first time with large statistics and well controlled systematic uncertainties, with an overall significance of 4.3σ. The DAMPE spectral measurements of both cosmic protons and helium nuclei suggest a particle charge dependent softening energy, although with current uncertainties a dependence on the number of nucleons cannot be ruled out.

Abstract
Objective: To establish the reference values and growth curves of weight/length, body mass index, and ponderal index for Chinese newborns with gestational ages of 24 to 42 weeks, in order to provide a reference for the assessment of body proportionality and nutritional status at birth. Methods: Cross-sectional study design was applied. From June 2015 to November 2018, a total of 24 375 singleton live birth newborns with gestational ages of 24 to 42 weeks from 13 cities including Beijing, Harbin, Xi'an, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Kunming, Tianjin, Shenyang, Changsha, and Shenzhen were selected, excluding those impacting the establishment of the reference values. The generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) was employed to establish percentile (P3, P10, P25, P50, P75, P90, P97) reference values and growth curves of weight/length, body mass index, and ponderal index for male and female newborns with gestational ages of 24 to 42 weeks. The established growth standards in this study were compared with the standards from the 1988 Chinese data, the INTERGROWTH project, and the USA reference values. Results: A total of 24 375 newborns with 12 264 preterm newborns (7 042 males and 5 222 females) and 12 111 full-term newborns (6 155 males and 5 956 females) were included in this study. The percentile reference values and growth curves of weight/length, body mass index, and ponderal index were obtained for male and female newborns with gestational ages of 24 to 42 weeks. Weight/length of males in all gestational ages at P10, P50 and P90 was 0 to 0.2 kg/m higher than that of females, and body mass index of males in all gestational ages at the P10, P50 and P90 was 0.1 to 0.3 kg/m2 higher than that of females. The established growth curves of weight/length and body mass index at the upper percentile and ponderal index at both upper and lower percentiles were greatly different from those of the 1988 Chinese data, which, for example, reported the difference ranges at P90 as -1.09 to 0.40 kg/m for weight/length, -1.19 to 0.92 kg/m2 for body mass index, and -0.64 to 0.81 kg/m3 for ponderal index. The established weight/length curves were generally consistent with the reference values from the INTERGROWTH project with a difference of -0.17 to 0.20 kg/m at P50, while being 0.02 to 0.40 kg/m lower at P90 and 0.13 to 0.41 kg/m higher at P10 than that of the INTERGROWTH reference values at gestational ages of ≤32 weeks. The established body mass index curves differed from that of the USA reference values with a difference of -0.47 to 0.17 kg/m2 at P50, while being 0.53 to 1.10 kg/m2 lower at gestational ages of ≥37 weeks but 0.17 to 0.45 kg/m2 higher at gestational ages of ≤28 weeks than that of the USA reference values at P90. Conclusion: The establishment of the new standardized growth reference values of weight/length, body mass index, and ponderal index for Chinese newborns by different gestational ages are useful for clinical practice and scientific research.

Abstract
We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD). Six relevant electronic databases (PubMed, CENTRAL, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) were searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared rTMS with control condition for PSD were included. The mean change in depression symptom scores was defined as the primary efficacy outcome. Secondary outcomes included the remission rate of depression, stroke recovery, and cognitive function recovery. In total, 7 RCTs with 351 participants were included. At post-treatment, rTMS was significantly more effective than the control condition, with a standardized mean difference (SMD) of -1.15 (95%CI: -1.62 to -0.69; P<0.001, I2=71%) and remission with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.46 (95%CI: 1.68 to 7.12; P<0.001; I2=11%). As for stroke recovery, rTMS was also better than the control condition (SMD=-0.67, 95%CI: -1.02 to -0.32; P<0.001). However, no significant difference was found for cognitive function recovery between the two groups (SMD=4.07, 95%CI: -1.41 to 9.55; P=0.15). To explore the potential moderators for the primary outcome, a series of subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. The results implied that rTMS may be more effective in Asian samples than in North American samples (P=0.03). In conclusion, from the current evidence in this study, rTMS could be an effective treatment for patients with PSD. Further clinical studies with larger sample sizes and clearer subgroup definitions are needed to confirm these outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been an important public health issue in China. Recently, the prevalence of obesity, elevated blood pressure, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and unhealthy lifestyles was high in Chinese children and adolescents, which might increase the risk of short-term target organ damage and adult CVD. Therefore, we selected one primary school in Huantai County, Zibo City between November 2017 and January 2018 to establish the Huantai Childhood Cardiovascular Health Cohort Study. The aim of this project was to investigate the effects of childhood exposures on short-term target organ damage and adult CVD, and to provide evidence to curb the epidemic of CVD in China from the source. A total of 1 515 children aged 6-11 years old were included at the baseline. In this paper, we will introduce the overall design of the survey, including participants, methods, quality control, basic characteristics of the participants, study limitations, and future directions, which might provide some useful implications for similar researches in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association between elevated blood pressure (BP) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in children according to four BP references. Methods: Study population came from"Huantai Childhood Cardiovascular Health Cohort Study"in Huantai County, Zibo City, Shandong Province. A convenient cluster sampling method was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey on 1 515 children from November 2017 to January 2018 in a primary school. A total of 1 431 children aged 6-11 years old with complete data were included in this study. Data on demographic characteristics, BP and cIMT were collected through questionnaire survey, physical examination and ultrasound examination. High cIMT was defined as the level of cIMT ≥ age-and sex-specific 90th percentile of this study population. Based on the Chinese Guideline reference, the Health Industry reference, the International reference and the U.S. reference, all participants were divided into three subgroups: the normal BP, high normal BP and, elevated BP. The multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the association between BP status and high cIMT in children. Results: The age of children was (8.9±1.5) years, and boys accounted for 53.4% (n=682). The multivariate logistic regression models showed that after adjusting for relevant confounding factors, the risk of high cIMT in elevated BP group was increased compared with the normal BP group according to the four references (all P values<0.05) Conclusion: Elevated BP according to the four BP references is associated with high cIMT in children.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the association of abdominal obesity assessed by waist circumference (WC) with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in children. Methods: The study participants were from the "Huantai Childhood Cardiovascular Health Cohort Study" conducted in Huantai County, Zibo City, Shandong Province. A convenient cluster sampling method was used to select a primary school in Huantai County to conduct the baseline survey from November 2017 to January 2018. A total of 1 515 children aged 6-11 years old were included. The first follow-up survey was conducted from November to December 2019, and a total of 981 children aged 8-13 years old were finally included after exclusion of those with high cIMT at baseline. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and ultrasonic examination were used to collect general demographic characteristics, WC and cIMT information. According to the status of WC at baseline, the participants were divided into normal WC group and abdominal obesity group. Covariance analysis was used to compare the cIMT levels of children between normal WC group and abdominal obesity group. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between baseline abdominal obesity and high cIMT during the follow-up. Results: The age of 981 children was (8.5±1.5) years at the baseline. The follow-up age was (10.5±1.5) years, and 520 boys accounted for 53.0%. The cIMT of children in the abdominal obesity group was 0.54 mm, which was higher than that in the normal WC group (0.51 mm) (P<0.001). Similarly, the prevalence of high cIMT in children with abdominal obesity (23.9%) was higher than that of normal WC group (3.9%) (P<0.001). After adjusting for potential covariates at the baseline and during the follow-up period, compared with the normal WC group, abdominal obesity was significantly associated with high cIMT (OR=5.78, 95%CI:3.43-9.74). Conclusion: The abdominal obesity in children could increase the risk of high cIMT.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of pediatric glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1 DS), evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet therapy (KDT). Methods: Clinical data of 19 children with GLUT1 DS admitted to Children's Hospital of Fudan University, Tianjin Children's Hospital, Shenzhen Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Jiangxi Provincial Children's Hospital between 2015 and 2019 were collected retrospectively. The first onset symptom, main clinical manifestations, cerebrospinal fluid features and genetic testing results of patients were summarized, the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet treatment were analyzed. Results: Among the 19 cases, 13 were males and 6 females. The age of onset was 11.0 (1.5-45.0) months,the age of diagnosis was 54.0 (2.8-132.0) months. Epilepsy was the first onset symptom of 13 cases. Different forms of tonic-clonic seizures were the most common types of epilepsy (7 cases with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, 5 cases with focal tonic or clonic seizures, 4 cases with generalized tonic seizures). Antiepileptic drugs were effective in 4 cases. Paroxysmal motor dysfunction was present in 12 cases and ataxia was the most common one. All patients had different degrees of psychomotor retardation. Among 17 patients received cerebrospinal fluid examination, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose level was lower than 2.2 mmol/L and CSF glucose/glycemic index was<0.45 in 16 cases, only 1 case presented normal CSF glucose level (2.3 mmol/L) and normal CSF glucose/glycemic index(0.47). SLC2A1 gene mutations were found in 16 patients, missense, frameshift and nonsense mutations were the common types with 5 cases, 5 cases and 3 cases respectively. All 19 patients were treated with ketogenic diet, which was effective in 18 cases in seizure control, 11 cases in dyskinesia improvement and 18 cases in cognitive function improvement. No serious side effects were reported in any stage of KDT. Conclusions: The diagnosis of GLUT1 DS is often late. It is necessary to improve the early recognition of the disease and perform CSF glucose detection and genetic testing as early as possible. The KDT is an effective and safe treatment for GLUT1 DS, but a small number of patients have not response to diet therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To establish core items of nutrition literacy for general population in China. Methods: The framework system and preliminary items of nutrition literacy were established through literature review and experts' consultation. Content validity test was used to determine the nutrition literacy item. Thirteen experts in the field of human nutrition, health education and nutrition and diseases were invited to score the importance of each nutrition literacy item via Email. The judgment basis and familiarity of experts towards the items, active coefficient, and content validity were analyzed to generate the final list of nutrition literacy items. Results: 92.3% of questionnaires in two rounds were collected.The active coefficient of experts was satisfied and the authority coefficient was 0.96.In the content validity evaluation, the correlation I-CVI value of each item was above 0.83 and the κ value was above 0.74. The evaluation result was excellent.After the second round of expert consultation, all selected items met the inclusion criteria. We identified the final list of nutrition literacy items consisting of three scales (knowledge and concepts, lifestyles and dietary behaviors, and basic skills), ten subscales (basic nutrition philosophy, food classification and nutrition knowledge, healthy weight, eating behavior and culture, balanced diet, exercise health, food assessment, nutrition information acquisition and decision, nutrition safety, and weight management)with 25 items in total. Conclusions: The framework system and core items of nutrition literacy are established for Chinese people based on the content validity evaluation. The experts involved in the consultation process present a performance with good representativeness, enthusiasm and authority, and the content validity evaluation result is satisfied.

Abstract
Objective: To establish the nutrition literacy core items for older people in China. Methods: The framework system and preliminary items of nutrition literacy were established through literature review and experts consultation. Content validity test was used to determine the nutrition literacy items. Seven experts in the field of human nutrition, health education and nutrition and diseases were invited to score the importance of each nutrition literacy item via Email. The judgment basis and familiarity of expertstowards the items, active coefficient, and content validitywere evaluated and analyzed to generate the final list of nutritionliteracy items. Results: A total of 85.7% (6/7) of questionnaires in two rounds were collected.The active coefficient of experts was satisfied and the authority coefficient was 0.96. In the content validity evaluation, the correlation I-CVI value of each item was above 0.90 and theκvalue was above 0.74. The evaluation result was excellent. After the second round of consultation, all selected items met the inclusion criteria. We identified the final list of nutrition literacy items consisting of three scales (knowledge and concepts, lifestyles and dietary behaviors, and basic skills), twelve subscales (reasonable nutrition, healthy weight, environment of dining, food classification, nutrition and disease, eat regularly, balanced diet, exercise health, information getting, household food measurement, reading nutrition label and calculating, and food safety)with 20 items in total. Conclusions: The framework system and core items of nutrition literacy are established for Chinese older people based on the content validity evaluation. The experts involved in the consultation process present a performance with good representativeness, enthusiasm and authority, and the content validity evaluation result is satisfied.

Abstract
Screening and therapeutic programs for colorectal cancer (CRC) are invasive or not effective and unable to meet patient needs. Major advances in immunogenomics may change this status but need more exploration. Differentially expressed genes and immune-related genes (IRGs) were identified by computational methods. A prognostic model was established and validated based on survival-related IRGs via stepwise multivariate Cox regression analysis. Nine IRGs were selected and identified as survival-related genes. A 7-gene prognostic model could offer a preliminary and valid determination of risk in CRC patients. The area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic was 0.672. The 7-gene prognostic model might be used as a novel prognostic tool in CRC patients.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infection are common causes of acute lung injury. The aim of the present study was to identify the key genes and potential mechanisms involved in mechanical ventilation (MV) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Gene expression data of adult C57BL/6 mice with ALI induced by inhaling LPS, MV and LPS + MV were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with MV, LPS and LPS + MV were screened, followed by functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction network construction, and prediction of transcription factors and small molecule drugs. Finally, the expression of key genes was verified in vivo using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. A total of 63, 538 and 1,635 DEGs were associated with MV, LPS and LPS + MV, respectively. MV-associated genes were significantly enriched in the ‘purine ribonucleotide metabolic process’. LPS and LPS + MV-associated genes were significantly enriched in ‘cellular response to cytokine stimulus’ and ‘cell chemotaxis’. All three conditions were enriched in ‘TNF signaling pathway’ and ‘IL-17 signaling pathway’. Expression levels of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)2, CXCL3 and CXCL10 were upregulated in the LPS and LPS + MV groups. Adenosine A2b receptor, zinc finger and BTB domain-containing 16 and hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 were identified as DEGs in the MV group. Compared with the control group, Early growth response 1 and activating TF 3 was upregulated in all three groups. Similarities and differences were observed among the MV- and LPS-induced ALI, and MV may enhance the effects of LPS on gene expression. MV may affect urine ribonucleotide metabolic-related processes, whereas LPS may cause cell chemotaxis and cytokine stimulus responses in ALI progression. The inflammatory response was shared by MV and LPS. The results of the present study may provide insight into a theoretical basis for the study and treatment of ALI.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of dietary glycemic load (GL) during first trimester on the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: A prospective study was conducted among healthy women with singleton pregnancy at 8-14 weeks of gestation in a maternity out-patient clinic of maternal-and-child health care institution in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Information on dietary intake during the first trimester was collected through a 3-day 24-hour dietary recall. Glycemic index (GI) values were obtained from China Food Composition Tables (Standard Edition) and International Tables of Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load Values (2008). Dietary GL and GLs of staple foods were calculated based on GI values and the amount of carbohydrate consumed per day. Diagnostic criteria of GDM was followed the Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pregnancy Diabetes in China (2014), and used on participants who underwent an oral glucose tolerant test during 24-28 weeks of gestation. Log-binomial regression models were used to explore the associations between both quartiles of dietary GL, GLs of staple foods and the risks of GDM,respectively. Results: The medians of dietary GL and GL of staple foods were 145.70 (113.23-180.85) and 121.05 (89.08-155.70), respectively. The median GL of both rice and tubers were 73.14 (43.89-107.50) and 3.43 (0.00-9.84), respectively. After adjusting for the age at pregnancy, pre-pregnancy body mass index and other confounding factors, results of log-binomial regressions analysis showed that when compared with the lowest quartile of dietary GL group, the third and highest quartiles of dietary GL groups increased the risk of GDM (RR=1.47, 95%CI: 1.20-1.80; RR=1.31, 95%CI: 1.04-1.64), respectively. Compared with the lowest quartile of GL of staple foods, the third and highest quartiles of GL of staple foods groups also increased the risk of GDM (RR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.04-1.58; RR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.02-1.60), respectively. The third and highest quartiles of GL of rice groups increased the risk of GDM (RR=1.30, 95%CI: 1.06-1.59; RR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.03-1.59), respectively, than the lowest quartile of GL of rice group. When compared with the lowest quartile of GL of tubers group, the highest quartile of GL of tubers group increased the risk of GDM (RR=1.30, 95%CI: 1.09-1.54). However, we did not notice the effects of wheat GL and coarse grain GL on the risk of GDM. Conclusions: A positive association was found between dietary glycemic load and the risk of GDM. Higher dietary glycemic load, especially in rice and tubers during first trimester, seemed to have increased the risk of GDM.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the consistency of the clinical phenotype of Alport syndrome between monozygotic twins. Methods: This retrospective study included identical twins with Alport syndrome who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were admitted to Peking University First Hospital from January 2000 to March 2019. Their clinical data and urinary epidermal growth factor (uEGF) level were extracted from the on-line registry system of hereditary kidney diseases, and analyzed retrospectively. Results: Three pairs of monozygotic twins with X-linked Alport syndrome from three non-consanguineous families were included. The consistency of the genotype status between the twins tended to confirm their monozygotic relationship. The first twins were term infants, and the twin 1A had a normal birth weight (2 500 g) while twin 1B was small for gestational age (2 450 g) . The other two pairs of twins were preterm, with different birth weights between twins 2 (2A is 2 450 g, 2B is 1 900 g) , but similar birth weights between twins 3. Although raised in the same environment, compared with twin 1A, 1B had obvious growth retardation. However, growth rate in the remaining twins were consistent. The renal abnormalities were not exactly the same between both twins 1 and twins 2, but was almost the same in twins 3. Both 1A and 1B were characterized by massive proteinuria and renal dysfunction, whereas 1B had worse renal function. At the last follow-up, 1A was diagnosed with stage 3 of chronic kidney disease (CKD) whereas 1B was CKD stage 4. Although renal function in twins 2 were normal, 2A had prominent proteinuria(24 h urinary total protein: 0.22 g) while 2B only had microalbuminuria(urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio: 65 mg/g). Compared with the age-matched healthy controls, the concentration of uEGF normalized by urine creatinine (uEGF/Cr) were significantly lower in these twins. Besides, the twin-boy who had lower estimated glomerular filtration rates had lower uEGF/Cr. However, the extrarenal manifestations such as ocular and acoustic abnormalities were similar between the twins. Twins 2 and 3 showed bilateral temporal retinal thinning, and twins 1 both had binaural mild mid-low frequency sensorineural deafness. Conclusions: Renal manifestations of X-linked Alport syndrome in monozygotic twins may differ from each other, whereas the extrarenal manifestations including ocular and acoustic abnormalities may be consistent. Low birth weight and growth retardation may be associated with the progression of renal dysfunction.

Abstract
Objective: To study and establish the percentile reference values of waist circumference (WC) for Chinese children aged 3-7 years. Methods: A total of 26 480 children aged 3-7 years were collected as part of the National Survey on Physical Growth and Development of Children in nine cities (Beijing, Harbin, Xi'an, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Kunming) in China from June to November 2015. Sex- and age-specific smoothed percentile reference values of WC were established using the Lambda Mu Sigma method. The P(75) and P(90) curves of WC for children aged 3-7 years in this study were linked with the published P(75) and P(90) cut-off points for Chinese children and adolescents aged 7-18 years. The P(50) percentile of WC in this study was compared with the corresponding percentiles of several foreign studies. Results: The P(5), P(10), P(15), P(20), P(25), P(50), P(75), P(80), P(85), P(90) and P(95) reference values of WC were obtained for boys and girls aged 3-7 years biannually, at the interval of every six months. Results showed that WC at the P(50) had significantly increased from 47.5 cm at the age of 3 to 54.2 cm at the age of 7 for boys and from 47.0 cm at the age of 3 to 52.2 cm for girls at the age of 7. The corresponding WC percentile values appeared a bit higher in boys than those in girls at the same age, with the differences from 0.4 to 3.6 cm. The differences between measured and fitted WC at each empirical percentile ranged from -0.3 to 0.5 cm for both boys and girls aged 3-7 years. The P(75) and P(90) values of WC for boys and girls aged 3-7 years in this study presented a consistent, continuous tendency on age with the published WC cut-off points (P(75) and P(90)) for Chinese children and adolescent aged 7-18. The increasing trend of WC by age in Chinese children aged 3-7 years was consistent with those of foreign studies, at the middle level for boys and lower middle level for girls. Conclusions: Through this study, we established the WC percentile values for Chinese children aged 3-7 years and achieved the continuity in age with the published WC cut-off points for Chinese children and adolescents aged 7-18. These established WC percentile values can be used as reference for clinical practice, health care and scientific research.

Abstract
To explore the relationship between parental hypertension history and hypertension in children and adolescents based on the relevant data of 6 049 children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years old in Jinan city from September 2012 to September 2014. The results showed that the history of hypertension in parents was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure in children and adolescents, with the value of coefficient β (95%CI) about 0.91 (0.23-1.59). Compared with children and adolescents whose parents had no history of hypertension, those with history of hypertension in one parent and both parents were more likely to develop hypertension, with OR values (95%CI) about 1.28 (1.01-1.61) and 2.24 (1.09-4.61), respectively. Therefore, it is suggested that prevention and intervention measures should be taken as soon as possible for children and adolescents whose parents have a history of hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the inflammation grading of 131I radioiodine-induced sialadenitis based upon sialoendoscopic and sialographic appearances, and to evaluate the results of sialoendoscopic intervention. METHODS The patients diagnosed with 131I radioiodine-induced sialadenitis and underwent sialoendoscopic exploration and intervention procedures in Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from Nov. 2012 to Oct. 2018 were included in this study. The appearances of sialogaphy and sialoendoscopy were analyzed and classified. The treatment options included irrigation with saline and dexamethasone and mechanical dilatation by sialoendoscope. The patients were followed up after treatment. RESULTS Forty-two patients with 131I radioiodine-induced sialadenitis were included. There were 5 males and 37 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1 ∶7.4. Symptoms included recurrent swelling and pain in the parotid glands, and dry mouth. Sialography showed stenosis in the main duct,and in some cases nonvisua-lization of the branches. Sialoendoscopy showed narrowing of the main duct, and the branch duct atresia was seen. The appearances of sialogaphy and sialoendoscopy were analyzed and classified into 3 groups: (1) Mild inflammation: stenosis and ectasia occurred in the main duct, whereas the 0.9 mm sialoendoscope could pass through easily. (2) Moderate inflammation: one point of severe stricture could be seen in the main duct where 0.9 mm sialoendoscope could not be passed through. (3) Severe inflammation: two points or more of severe strictures or diffused strictures occurred in the main duct. Thirty-three patients with 65 affected glands were examined by both sialography and sialoendoscopy. Eight glands were classified as mild inflammation, 23 glands moderate inflammation, and 34 glands severe inflammation. The duration of follow-up ranged from 3-72 months. The clinical results were evaluated as good in 22 glands, fair in 22 glands, and poor in 19 glands, with an overall effective rate of 69.8% (44/63). CONCLUSION The clinical, sialographic and sialoendoscopic appearances of 131I radioiodine-induced sialadenitis showed their characteristics. We proposed an inflammation grading standard for the 131I radioiodine-induced sialadenitis based on the appearances of sialography and sialoendoscopy. Sialoendoscopy can significantly alleviate the clinical symptoms, which is an effective therapy, and better for early lesions.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the prevalence risk factors of Beijing genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in Beijing and its correlation with second-line anti tuberculosis drug resistance. Methods: A total of 1 140 clinical MTB positive strains were collected from various districts in Beijing, and the drug sensitivity was detected by proportion method. Beijing genotype and non Beijing genotype MTB were identified by the method of Spoligotyping. Using SPSS 22.0 statistical software, chi square test or Fisher exact probability test was used to analyze the experimental data. Results: Among 1 140 MTB clinical isolates, 941 (82.5%) were Beijing genotype MTB, 199 were non Beijing genotype MTB. There were 663 males (70.5%) in Beijing genotype and 124 males (62.3%) in non Beijing genotype strains. There were significant differences in the proportion of males between the two genotypes [P=0.021, OR (95% CI):1.442 (1.048-1.985)]. There were 441 floating population (46.9%) in Beijing genotype MTB and 78 floating population (39.2%) in non Beijing genotype MTB. There was a significant difference in the proportion of floating population between the two genotypes [P=0.048,OR (95%CI):1.368(1.001-1.869)]. There were 129 patients (13.7%) aged 65 or older in Beijing genotype MTB, 40 patients (20.1%) aged 65 or older in non Beijing genotype MTB. The difference was statistically significant [P=0.021, or (95% CI): 0.631 (0.426-0.936)]. The resistance drug rates of Levofloxacin (Lfx), Amikacin (Am), Capreomycin (Cm), Para-aminosalicylic (PAS) in Beijing genotypes were 5.5% (52/941), 1.3% (12/941), 3.2% (30/941) and 3.0% (28/941), respectively, and those of non Beijing genotypes were 10.6% (21/199), 8.5% (17/199, 12.6% (25/199) and 11.6% (23/199), the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were 58 (6.2%) multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains in Beijing genotype MTB and 19 (9.5%) multidrug-resistant strains in non Beijing genotype. There was no significant difference in the proportion of MDR strains between Beijing genotype and non Beijing genotype (P>0.05). Conclusions: Beijing genotype MTB is widespread in Beijing and has a higher proportion in male population and floating population. Compared with non Beijing genotype, Beijing genotype MTB has a lower resistance rate to Lfx, Am, Cm and PAS, and there is no significant difference in the proportion of MDR-TB patients between the two genotypes.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland(GA-FG). Methods: A total of 6 patients with GA-FG admitted from January 2014 to May 2019 were identified at Shanghai Songjiang District Central Hospital.Analyzed endoscopic findings, pathological characteristics and immunohistochemical staining of the lesions and reviewed relevant literatures. Results: Among the 6 patients, 3 were male, 3 were female, and the mean age was 66 years. The most common clinical presentation was epigastric discomfort. Gastroscopic examination revealed an elevated or flat lesion in the body of the stomach, with a diameter of 0.4 to 1.0 cm. Histopathologically, they mainly composed of main cells, but there were also scattered parietal cells, arranged in an irregular tubular or cord-like structure, and formed anastomosis branches. The tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive for MUC6 and pepsinogen 1. Conclusions: GA-FG is a rare variant of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. It is important to understand its clinical features and histological morphology for more accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the timing of permanent tooth emergence and its association with physical growth among children aged 4-7 years in 9 cities of China, and to analyze the trend of permanent teeth development. Methods: According to a stratified cluster sampling design, a cross-sectional survey on the timing of permanent tooth emergence children aged 4-7 years was carried out in 9 cities (Beijing, Harbin and Xi'an in northern China; Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuhan in central China; Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Kunming in southern China) from June to October in 2015. A total of 37 973 children (19 035 boys and 18 938 girls) were recruited and were divided into different age groups (4.0-<4.5, 4.5-5.0, 5.0-5.5 and 6.0-<7.0 years of age). The situation of the exfoliation of primary teeth and the eruption of permanent teeth were investigated. Height and weight were measured using the standardized methods. Z-scores of physical growth indicators were calculated using the growth standards for Chinese children in 2009. Probit regression analysis was used to determine the median and percentile age of transition from deciduous to permanent teeth. Chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data and t test was used for comparison of measurement data between boys and girls, urban and suburban as well as among different ages and regions. Meanwhile, the data from the national survey on physical growth and development of children under 7 years of age in 9 cities of China in 1995 were used to analyze the trends of the permanent teeth development. Results: The rate of transition from deciduous to permanent teeth in 37 973 children aged 4-7 years was higher with age, which was 0.6% (42/7 568) in 4.0-<4.5 years of age group, 30.3% (2 295/7 583) in 5.5-<6.0 years of age group, and 74.5% (5 680/7 627) in 6.0-<7.0 years of age group. The rates of transition from deciduous to permanent teeth in boys were all lower than those of girls except for children aged 4.0-<4.5 years (all P<0.01). The rate of transition from deciduous to permanent teeth in urban children was higher than that in suburban children for older than 5.5-6.0 years of age group in boys and older than 4.5-5.0 years of age group in girls, which was 74.2% (1 427/1 924) in urban boys aged 6.0-<7.0 years and 69.2% (1 305/1 885) in suburban boys aged 6.0-<7.0 years (χ(2)=11.446, P<0.01). The age of transition from deciduous to permanent teeth was 6.00 (95%CI: 5.98-6.01) years and the range of the 3-97 percentile was 4.88-7.11 years of age. The median permanent tooth emergence age of girls was lower than that of boys (5.94 vs. 6.06 years) and the median age of urban children was lower than that of suburban children (5.94 vs. 6.05 years). The median permanent tooth emergence age of southern Chinese children (6.05 years) was higher than that of northern (5.97 years) and central Chinese children (5.97 years). The weight for age Z-scores (WAZ), height for age Z-scores (HAZ) and body mass index for age Z-scores (BMIZ) of children with transition from deciduous to permanent teeth (0.35±1.17, 0.32±1.00, 0.23±1.16) were significantly higher than those of children without transition from deciduous to permanent teeth (0.03±1.13, 0.03±1.02, 0.04±1.13, t=20.81,21.67,12.09, all P<0.05). In comparison with the data in 1995, data in 2015 showed that the rate of transition from deciduous to permanent teeth was higher, for example, the rate of urban boys aged 6.0-<7.0 years group was 63.8% (1 146/1 796) in 1995, and increased to 74.2% (1 427/1 924) in 2015 (χ(2)=46.748, P<0.01). The median permanent tooth emergence age decreased by 0.24 years in 2015 as compared with that in 1995. Conclusions: The development of permanent teeth is earlier in girls than in boys, earlier in urban children than in suburban children and slightly delay in southern children than in central and northern Chinese children. In addition, the development of permanent teeth, which is related to the physical growth, slightly accelerate in China during the past 20 years.

Abstract
Objective: To survey the children under 7 years of age in nine cities of China for a better understanding of the current situation of childhood stunting. Methods: According to a stratified cluster sampling design, a cross-sectional survey on children under 7 years of age was carried out in 9 cities (Beijing, Harbin and Xi'an in northern China; Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuhan in central China; and Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Kunming in southern China) from June to November in 2016. A total of 110 499 children were recruited. Height of children was evaluated using the growth standards for Chinese children (2009 edition) .Children with height less than the 3rd percentile of the growth standards were considered as stunting, and children with height between the 3rd and 10th percentiles of the growth standards were considered as relatively short stature. Chi-square test was used for comparison between data of boys and girls, urban and suburban, as well as among different ages and regions. Results: Totally 113 084 children under 7 years of age should be investigated and actually 110 499 children were investigated, with a rate of 97.7%. The prevalence of stunting was 1.9% (2 141/110 499) among all the children. The prevalence of stunting in urban children (1.6%, 904/55 524) was lower than that in suburban children (2.3%, 1 237/54 975, χ(2)=56.246, P<0.01). The gender difference in stunting prevalence was not statistically significant (1.9% (1 121/57 921) in boys and 1.9% (1 020/52 578) in girls, χ(2)=0.003, P=0.965). The prevalence of stunting decreased with age for children younger than 3 years, from 1.8% (312/17 080) in 0-<1 year of age group to 1.2% (168/13 740) in 2-<3 years of age group, but increased to 2.2% (240/11 073) at 6-<7 years group. Comparison among different regions showed that the stunting prevalence in southern region was higher than those in the central and northern regions (0.9% (193/20 374) in northern urban, 0.8% (154/18 486) in central urban, and 3.3% (557/16 664) in southern urban children), showing a statistical significance (χ(2)=437.736, P<0.01); 1.1% (241/21 924) in northern suburban, 1.4% (227/16 775) in central suburban and 4.7% (769/16 276) in southern suburban children, showing a statistical significance (χ(2)=646.533, P<0.01). In urban areas, the difference between the central and northern regions showed no statistical significance (χ(2)=1.429, P=0.232) and the stunting prevalence of central Chinese children was slightly higher than that of northern Chinese children in suburban areas (χ(2)=5.130, P=0.024). Among the nine cities, the stunting prevalence of Guangzhou (6.1%, 613/10 019) was higher than those of other cities (χ(2)=1 559.64, P<0.01). Among the stunting children, 78.4% (1 679/2 141) were classified as borderline or mild and only 7.2% (154/2 141) were classified as severe. The prevalence of relatively short stature was 5.2% (5 721/110 499). Conclusions: The prevalence of stunting among children under 7 years of age in nine cities of China is low and most of the stunting children were classified as mild; the prevalence of stunting in suburban children is higher than that in urban children; the gender difference show no statistical significance; and the prevalence of stunting in southern Chinese children is higher than those in central and northern Chinese children.
