Objective: To examine the associations between 24 hour movement behavior allocation patterns and physical fitness as well as serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels among female college students, providing evidence for developing personalized health promotion strategies. Methods: In September 2025, 48 female college students aged 18-22 years were recruited from a comprehensive university from Shanghai. Continuous 24 hour movement behaviors were monitored using a triaxial accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+). Serum hsCRP levels were measured (≥1 000 ng/mL was log grade inflammation), and physical fitness indicators including upper limb muscle strength, vital capacity, and maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) were assessed. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between variables. Compositional data analysis combined with multiple linear regression was employed to construct isotemporal substitution models, evaluating the effects of substituting 30 minutes of one behavior for another on hsCRP and VO 2max . Results: Female college students had the longest average daily sedentary behavior (SB) time (643.2±103.2)min, which was higher than sleep time (452.4±90.0)min, light physical activity (LPA) time (279.0±76.8)min and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time (66.0±21.6)min. Correlation analysis revealed that vigorous physical activity (VPA) was positively correlated with hsCRP levels among female college students ( r=0.47, P <0.05). Substituting 30 minutes of MVPA with sleep, SB or LPA significantly reduced predicted hsCRP levels among female college students ( β = -0.90, -0.90, -0.73), replacing 30 minutes of sleep with MVPA significantly increased predicted VO 2max levels ( β =5.12) (all P <0.05). The low grade inflammation group exhibited longer durations of high intensity activity participation and higher mean values for height, body weight, and grip strength compared to the normal group ( t =2.17, 2.52, 2.21, all P <0.05). Within the normal inflammation group, MVPA was positively associated with VO 2max ( β =0.18), while sleep was negatively associated ( β =-0.07) (both P <0.05). In contrast, no statistically significant associations were observed between any activity behavior and VO 2max in the low grade inflammation group (all P >0.05). Conclusions MVPA exerts bidirectional effects on the health of female college students. While it enhances cardiorespiratory fitness, it may concurrently elevate chronic low grade inflammation levels. To maximize health benefits, intervention programs focused on increasing MVPA should also give full consideration to the importance of restorative sleep.

Working memory is an executive memory process that includes encoding, maintenance, and retrieval. These processes can be modulated by transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) with sinusoidal waves. However, little is known about the impact of the rate of current change on working memory. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of two types of tACS with different rates of current change on working memory performance and brain activity. We applied a randomized, single-blind design and divided 81 young participants who received triangular wave tACS, sinusoidal wave tACS, or sham stimulation into three groups. Participants performed n-back tasks, and electroencephalograms were recorded before, during, and after active or sham stimulation. Compared to the baseline, working memory performance (accuracy and response time) improved after stimulation under all stimulation conditions. According to drift-diffusion model analysis, triangular wave tACS significantly increased the efficiency of non-target information processing. In addition, compared with sham conditions, triangular wave tACS reduced alpha power oscillations in the occipital lobe throughout the encoding period, while sinusoidal wave tACS increased theta power in the central frontal region only during the later encoding period. The brain network connectivity results showed that triangular wave tACS improved the clustering coefficient, local efficiency, and node degree intensity in the early encoding stage, and these parameters were positively correlated with the non-target drift rate and decision starting point. Our findings on how tACS modulates working memory indicate that triangular wave tACS significantly enhances brain network connectivity during the early encoding stage, demonstrating an improvement in the efficiency of working memory processing. In contrast, sinusoidal wave tACS increased the theta power during the later encoding stage, suggesting its potential critical role in late-stage information processing. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential mechanisms by which tACS modulates working memory.

Objective : To investigate the mechanism of prostaglandin E synthase 3(PTGES3)/heat shock protein 90(HSP90) in the medial prefrontal cortex regulating obesity-related cognitive dysfunction. Methods: This study consisted of clinical trials and animal experiments. In part one, obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery, and healthy adults matching gender and age were recruited at the same time to reach 10 cases in each group. The cognitive level was assessed with trail making test part A(TMT-A) and victoria stroop tests(VST). Four-dimensional data-independent acquisition(4D-DIA) was used to screen the proteome changes in peripheral blood. In part two, forty SPF healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal diet group(ND group), high fat diet induced obesity group(DIO group), DIO supplemented with the control virus group(DIO+Scramble group) and DIO supplemented with the interfering virus group(DIO+shPTGES3 group). The Morris water maze test was conducted to evaluate the cognitive behavior changes of the four groups of mice. The immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the expression of PTGES3 and HSP90 in the medial prefrontal cortex and the activation of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1(IBA1)-labeled microglia. Results: In the case-control study, the cognitive function of obese patients significantly decreased, and the expression of PTGES3 in peripheral blood significantly increased, while the level of PTGES3 was negatively correlated with cognitive function. In animal experiments, compared with ND group, DIO group had significantly prolonged time reaching the target platform, otherwise, the residence time in the target quadrant was shortened in the Morris water maze test. Simultaneously, there were significant increase in the expression of PTGES3 and HSP90, and the activation of IBA1 in the medial prefrontal cortex. Compared with DIO+Scramble group, mice in the DIO+shPTGES3 group spent less time reaching the target platform, and stayed longer in the target quadrant. The expression and co-localization levels of PTGES3 and HSP90 in medial prefrontal cortex significantly decreased. The activation level of microglia cells was also attenuated by PTGES3 interference. Conclusion Obesity-related cognitive dysfunction may be attributed to PTGES3/HSP90 in the medial prefrontal cortex by mediating neural inflammation.

Objective To report cases of checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis （CIP） in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, aiming to provide additional approaches for the assessment, treatment, and monitoring of this condition. Methods Three patients developed oxygen desaturation and interstitial lung lesions during chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, and were diagnosed with CIP in collaboration with the respiratory department. Antitumor therapy was discontinued in the acute phase, and glucocorticoids were administered, with regular monitoring of disease progression. During follow-up, case 1 developed lung metastasis; case 2 showed improvement; case 3 had concurrent infection and tumor progression. Results Glucocorticoids improved lung lesions and hypoxic symptoms in patients with CIP, but attention should be paid to the potential for concurrent infections and tumor progression. Conclusions Comprehensive assessment and early identification of CIP are crucial for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. For those with recurrent symptoms after glucocorticoid therapy, timely and accurate adjustment of the treatment regimen is essential.

Objective To explore the evidence for Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)in the treatment of premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)based on evidence map and re-evaluation of systematic reviews.Methods CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP,SinoMed,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library and Web of Science database were electronically searched to collect systematic reviews(SR)/Meta-analysis on the treatment of POI with TCM from the inception to March 31,2025.The reporting quality,methodological quality,and evidence quality of the included studies were evaluated using the PRISMA 2020 Statement,AMSTAR 2 Checklist,and GRADE system,respectively.The interventions,number of studies,and evidence grades were comprehensively displayed using evidence map.Results A total of 15 SR/Meta-analysis were included,comprising 9 Chinese articles and 6 English articles.The PRISMA 2020 checklist evaluation revealed that 8 articles had certain deficiencies in reporting,while 7 articles demonstrated relatively complete reporting.Based on the AMSTAR 2 checklist,5 articles were rated as high-level and 10 as very low-level.A total of 10 primary outcome indicators were involved,reported 133 times.When classified using the GRADE system,there were 20 pieces of moderate-quality evidence,58 pieces of low-quality evidence,and 55 pieces of very low-quality evidence.The evidence map showed that TCM alone or in combination with hormone therapy could effectively treat POI,reduce follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels,increase estradiol levels,and improve clinical manifestations and TCM syndrome manifestations.Conclusion TCM has certain advantages in the treatment of POI,enhancing the overall treatment effect,alleviating clinical symptoms of low estrogen,and regulating sex hormone levels to some extent.However,there are deficiencies in methodological quality and reporting quality,and the level of evidence is not high.Therefore,the findings should be used with caution in clinical practice.

Objective To identify determinants of subtherapeutic voriconazole(VRCZ)concentrations in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)recipients and to develop/validate a nomogram-based risk prediction model.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 310 VRCZ therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM)measurements from allo-HSCT recipients at 310 patients who under went allo-HSCT surgery at Hebei Yanda Ludaopei Hospital from October 2022 to October 2024 and received VRCZ for the prevention and treatment of invasive fungal infections before transplantion were selected as the study subjects.Cases were stratified into target-concentration group(0.5～5.0μg/ml)and subtherapeutic group(<0.5μg/ml).Through single factor and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis,indeipendent predictive factors forvecz plasma concentration non-compliance were screened,and a column chart prediction model(NPM)was constructed.The performance of the model was evaluateding area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L)goodness-of-fit test,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Among 310 VRCZ-TDM measurements,71.61%(222/310)achieved target concentrations.Multivariate analysis showed that CYP2C19 intermediate metabolite,daily dose of cyclosporine A(CSA),daily dose of VRCZ,creatinine(Cr)>97 μmol/L,albumin(Alb)and C-reactive protein(CRP)were independent influencing factors for VRCZ blood drug concentration non-compliance(Wald χ2=4.046～13.221,all P＜0.05).The nomogram demonstrated excellent discrimination,calibration(H-L goodness of fit test χ2=2.663,P=0.954),and clinical utility with net benefit across 0.05～0.96 risk thresholds.Conclusion The nomogram incorporating CYP2C19 gene phenotype,daily CSA dosing,daily VRCZ dosing,Cr levels,Alb and CRP provides a validated tool for optimizing VRCZ therapy in allo-HSCT recipients,enabling precision dosing strategies.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of tumor-specific mortality in patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma and construct a risk prediction model.Methods A total of 150 patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma admitted to the Fourth Clinical College of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University,Hangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected as subjects.Cox regression was employed to analyze factors influencing mortality in advanced endometrial carcinoma.A Logistic regression model was constructed,with receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve used to evaluate model discrimination,calibration curve for precision assessment,and decision curve for net benefit evaluation.Results Overall 2-year survival rate of 150 patients was 58.67％.The univariate analysis demonstrated that histological grade,lymph node metastasis,tumor maximum diameter,and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen 125(CA125)levels were all significant risk factors for mortality in advanced endometrial carcinoma(P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis confirmed these parameters as independent prognostic indicators(P＜0.05).A Logistic regression model established using multivariate Cox regression yielded a C index of 0.873(95％CI:0.792-0.951).ROC curve analysis revealed the model's area under the curve for predicting mortality risk factors in advanced endometrial carcinoma was 0.916(95％CI:0.872-0.960).Conclusion The linear chart prediction model constructed based on histological grading,lymph node metastasis,maximum tumor diameter and preoperative CA125 level in this study can effectively predict the death of advanced endometrial carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the current status of iron metabolism among apheresis donors in Guangzhou and analyze the improvement effects of health education on iron deficiency in frequent apheresis donors. Methods: Using a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM), a 180-day follow-up was conducted on 261 eligible apheresis donors at the Guangzhou Blood Center from January to July 2024. Hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF), unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC), total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TS) were selected as outcome variables. The effects of gender, age group, and number of donations within 180 days on these outcomes were analyzed and modeled. A general linear model (GLM) with repeated measures was applied to 55 donors who received health education interventions, comparing changes in Hb and iron metabolism-related indicators before and after follow-up and health education. Results: No significant difference in Hb levels was observed between first-time and regular apheresis donors, but SF levels were significantly higher in first-time donors (F=6.195, P<0.05). The GLMM revealed that female donors exhibited more significant reductions in Hb (T=-12.546) and SF (T=-5.829)(P<0.05 for both). Age group showed no interactive effects on Hb or SF changes. While number of donations within 180 days had no interactive effect on Hb, SF levels significantly decreased with increased number of donations (using ≥9 donations as the reference group; P<0.05 for all groups). After health education, Hb levels remained unchanged, but SF increased compared to pre-intervention levels (mean difference: -18.571, P<0.05), though a declining trend persisted compared to baseline (mean difference from baseline to post-intervention: 23.068,P<0.05). Conclusion: Female and number of donations are primary factors contributing to SF reduction in apheresis donors. Health education interventions promote SF recovery. Extending donation intervals and reinforcing iron deficiency-related health education may improve iron status in donors.

Qingfeitang， specialized in resolving phlegm to stop cough and producing fluid to moisten dryness， is a classic prescription inherited and developed by physicians of successive generations and has been included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions （First Batch） published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） in 2018. Relevant ancient books data and modern literature were collected by bibliometrics to analyze the historic origin， formula composition， herb origin， preparation methods， processing methods， clinical effect， and indications of Qingfeitang. The key information of Qingfeitang was summarized to provide reference for the clinical application of the decoction. In this study， a total of 43 pieces of effective data on relevant ancient literature， including 35 ancient TCM books， were collected based on a systematic collation of relevant historic and modern literature. Results showed that "Qingfeitang" was originated from the "Renshen Qingfeitang" recorded in the Taiping Holy Prescriptions for Universal Relief from the Qing dynasty. The name of "Qinfeitang" was first recorded in the Yeshi Luyanfang written by YE Dalian in the Song dynasty. We suggested the modern dosage and usage of Qingfeitang as follows： "Scutellariae Radix of 5.60 g， Platycodon grandiflora， Poria， Tangerine， Fritillaria， and Cortex Mori of 3.73 g respectively， Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Asparagi Radix， Gardeniae Fructus， Armeniacae Semen Amarum， and Ophiopogonis Radix of 2.61 g respectively， Schisandra of 1 g， and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma of 1.12 g， and they were taken 3 times daily. The above formula is recommended to be decocted with 400 mL of water， with 3.37 g ginger and 6 g jujubae fructus， to 320 mL， and taken after a meal， three times per day". Qingfeitang has the effect of resolving phlegm to stop cough and producing fluid to moisten dryness， specialized in treating cough， asthma， rash， and other symptoms in ancient times. Modern applications are mainly focused on the respiratory system， used for treating diseases such as bronchopneumonia and cough. The above research results provide a reference basis for the later development and research of Qingfeitang.

Objective To explore the effect of the horticultural therapy in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment in elderly care institutions.Methods A convenient cluster sampling method was used.The study was conducted among the elderly with mild cognitive impairment in 2 nursing homes with 5A-level in Guangzhou,from March to September 2024.Using a lottery method,subjects from 2 nursing areas across 2 elderly care institutions were allocated to an experimental group,with the other 2 nursing areas serving as a control group,each group comprising 55 cases.The experimental group participated in horticultural therapy on the basis of control group interventions,while the control group was given routine care and daily leisure activities.The cognitive function,basic psychological needs and quality of life were compared between the 2 groups after the intervention.Results Eventually,37 cases in the experimental group and 38 cases in the control group completed the study.After the intervention,the cognitive function,basic psychological needs and quality of life in the experimental group were all better than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The horticultural therapy program can delay the progression of cognitive decline in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment in nursing homes,meet their basic psychological needs and improve their quality of life.
