Objective:
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to assess brain oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy Hb) activation in college students with different sleep quality under the verbal fluency task (VFT), so as to better provide a theoretical basis for the neural mechanism for sleep quality improvement of college students.
Methods:
A simple random sampling method was used to investigate 96 college students from one university during 2020 and 2021. According to the results of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), participants were divided into 3 groups: good sleep quality group( n =45), moderate group( n =33), and poor group( n =18). The 53 channel near infrared spectroscopy to collect cerebral blood oxygen signals under the VFT task. Association between oxygenated hemoglobin with sleep quality was analyzed.
Results:
About 18.75% of college students reported sleep quality problems, including long sleep latency (0.97±0.97) and poor subjective sleep quality (0.96±0.72). There was a significant negative correlation between PSQI score and average oxygenated hemoglobin (Avg HbO) index of dorsolateral prefrontal lobe ( r =-0.23, P =0.03). The Avg HbO index differed significantly between good and poor sleep quality groups on dorsolateral prefrontal lobe( P =0.05).
Conclusion
This study verified that there is a positive correlation between sleep quality and cognitive ability among college students. The fNIRS technique could accurately collect blood oxygen signals from dorsolateral prefrontal lobe during cognitive tasks, which proves to be an effective tool for identifying sleep quality of college students.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Yishen tongluo formula (YSTLF) in improving abnormal lipid metabolism based on the sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) pathway. METHODS Using C57BLKS/J (db/db) mice as model and C57BLKS/J (db/m) mice as normal control, the mechanism of 1, 2.5 and 5 g/kg YSTLF improving abnormal lipid metabolism of db/db mice was investigated by determining the liver coefficient, the contents of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), observing steatosis and lipid accumulation in liver tissue of mice, detecting the protein expressions of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 as well as mRNA transcription levels of Srebp- 1c, Srebp-2 and their downstream lipid metabolism-related target genes (Fasn, Acc1, Scd5, Fads1, Hmgcr, Dhcr24, Insig-1, Fdps) in liver tissue of mice. Using low-fat cultured human liver cancer cell HepG2 as an in vitro cell model for abnormal lipid metabolism, and 25-HC (SREBPs inhibitor, 10 μmol/L) as the control, the effects of 125, 250 and 500 μg/mL YSTLF on protein expressions of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 as well as mRNA transcription of SREBP-1c, SREBP-2 and their downstream lipid metabolism-related target genes were investigated to verify the mechanism in vitro. RESULTS 1, 2.5, 5 g/kg YSTLF significantly reduced the levels of TC, TG and LDL, the percentage of lipid droplet-positive region in liver tissue and liver coefficient, significantly down-regulated protein expressions of Pre-SREBP-1, n-SREBP-1, Pre-SREBP-2 and n-SREBP-2, and mRNA transcription of Srebp-1c, Srebp-2 and their downstream target genes in liver tissue, while significantly increased HDL level, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the cell experiment in vitro, the expressions of the above-mentioned proteins and genes in the cells treated with YSTLF at 125, 250 and 500 μg/mL for 24 hours were consistent with those in the animal experiment; there was no significant difference in the expressions of the above-mentioned proteins and genes between inhibitor control group and 250, 500 μg/mL YSTLF groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS YSTLF can regulate the expression of transcription factor SREBPs, so as to inhibit the high expression of fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis-related genes, promote the degradation of TC and TG, improve the abnormality of lipid metabolism and inhibit lipid accumulation, thus playing the role of lipid-lowering.
