Assessing knowledge of HPV and HPV vaccine and vaccine willingness among Beijing secondary school parents, and identifying decision-influencing factors. Selected via multi-stage stratified sampling, 3,081 Chaoyang secondary school students' parents participated in a June-August 2024 study. They completed a questionnaire assessing HPV knowledge, vaccine awareness, and vaccination willingness. Although 56.4% of parents showed a high awareness of HPV and its vaccine, only 13.7% had actually vaccinated their children, indicating a low vaccination rate. Moreover, 59.9% of parents indicated a willingness to vaccinate their children against HPV. Factors influencing this willingness included having daughters (OR: 2.873, 95% CI: 2.403-3.436), the school's street location (OR: 1.279, 95% CI: 1.056-1.550), personal HPV vaccination (OR: 2.153, 95% CI: 1.726-2.686), comprehensive knowledge about HPV and its vaccine (OR: 1.956, 95% CI: 1.595-2.398), awareness of vaccine price (OR: 1.500, 95% CI: 1.143-1.968), perceiving the price as reasonable (OR: 1.265, 95% CI: 1.029-1.533), and challenges in scheduling HPV vaccine appointments (OR: 3.909, 95% CI: 2.692-5.675). Notably, there was a negative correlation between parents' education levels and their willingness to vaccinate their children: junior college (OR: 0.690, 95% CI: 0.527-0.902), undergraduate (OR: 0.626, 95% CI: 0.482-0.813), postgraduate and above (OR: 0.686, 95% CI: 0.475-0.989). Therefore, relevant sectors must implement varied health campaigns, focusing on parental health needs, particularly HPV education for men, and advocate for HPV vaccines in immunization programs to boost secondary school students' vaccination rates.

Background: Secondary use of routinely collected health care data has great potential benefits in epidemiological studies primarily due to the large scale of preexisting data.
Objective: This study aimed to engage respondents with and without a history of self-harm, gain insight into their views on the use of their data for research, and determine whether there were any differences in opinions between the 2 groups.
Methods: We examined young people's views on the use of their routinely collected data for mental health research through a web-based survey, evaluating any differences between those with and without a history of self-harm.

Background: Infection is a leading cause of death after pediatric heart transplants (PHTs). Understanding of common pathogens is needed to guide testing strategies and empiric antibiotic use.
Methods: We conducted a 3-center retrospective study of PHT recipients ≤18 years old presenting to cardiology clinics or emergency departments (EDs) from 2010 to 2018 for evaluation of suspected infections within 2 years of transplant.

To test the association between directly observed school masking behaviors and the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in school wastewater. We randomly sampled a subset of schools participating in a translational study on the effectiveness of passive wastewater surveillance in nonresidential K‒12 settings in San Diego County. Trained observers conducted biweekly systematic observations of masking behaviors between March 2 and May 27, 2022.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the differential expression profiles of plasma metabolites in rat models of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) and elucidate the roles of metabolites and their pathways in the progression of PTOA using bioinformatics analysis.
Method: Plasma samples were collected from 24 SD female rats to model PTOA, and metabolomic assays were conducted. The samples were divided into three groups: the surgically induced mild PTOA group (Group A: 3 weeks postoperative using the modified Hulth model; age 2 months), the surgically induced severe PTOA group (Group B: 5 weeks postoperative using the modified Hulth model; age 2 months), and the normal control group (Group C: healthy rats aged 2 months).
