Objective:
To analyze the influencing factors for the 20-69-year-old residents in Anhui Province with substandard physiques, so as to provide a basis for improving the physiques of population.
Methods :
The 2014 physical fitness survey data of residents aged 20-69 years in Anhui Province were collected, including demographic information, physical exercise status and physical indicators ( height, weight, vital capacity, blood pressure and so on ). The physiques of residents was rated according to the "National Fitness Standards" ( 2003 edition ) . The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for substandard physiques in different age groups.
Results:
Among 39 803 residents recruited, 5 081 were rated as substandard physiques and the rate was 12.77%. The rates of substandard physiques in the residents aged 20-<40, 40-<60 and 60-69 years were 11.08%, 13.11% and 16.74%, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, household registration, education level, occupation and time spent each exercise were the influencing factors for substandard physiques among the residents aged 20-<40 years ( P<0.05 ); age, household registration, education level, occupation and physical exercise were the influencing factors for substandard physiques among the residents aged 40-<60 years ( P<0.05 ); age, gender, education level, occupation, physical exercise and time spent each exercise were the influencing factors for substandard physiques among the residents aged 60-69 years ( P<0.05 ).
Conclusions
The residents aged 20-69 years in Anhui Province have higher rate of substandard physiques in the 2014 survey. Age, education level, occupation and physical exercise may affect physical fitness and vary in different age groups, thus interventions should be carried out according to age.

Liver failure is a common critical medical disease, and extensive liver cell necrosis within a short period of time exceeds the regeneration capacity of liver cells and thus results in an extremely high fatality rate. Promotion of effective liver regeneration is the key to antagonizing liver failure. Recent studies have shown that bile acid, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), and intestinal microecology play an important role in liver failure and liver regeneration. This article reviews the association between bile acid, FXR, and intestinal microecology and their role in liver failure and liver regeneration, so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of liver failure in clinical practice.

Objective:To study and explore the effect and mechanism of action of Jieduhuayu granules on oxidative injury of human liver L02 cells.Methods:Human liver L02 oxidative injury model was established with 0.1 mmol/ L H 2O 2 intervention for 1 h, and treated with different concentrations of Jieduhuayu (JDHY) solution. Hepatocytes were divided into five groups: normal, H 2O 2, H 2O 2 + JDHY (0.5 mg/ml), H 2O 2 + JDHY (1 mg/ml), and H 2O 2 + JDHY (1.5 mg/ml). MTT assay was used to detect hepatocytes activity. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe mitochondrial morphology in hepatocytes. Biochemical test was used to detect the levels of superoxide dismutase, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, malondialdehyde, and reduced glutathione and albumin in hepatocytes. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of rabbit anti-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), AKT and mTOR in hepatocytes. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the LSD method was used for pairwise comparison. Results:Compared with the normal group, the cell proliferation activity ( P < 0.05), mitochondrial vacuolization, superoxide dismutase activity, reduced albumin and glutathione content, and PI3K, AKT, and mTOR protein expression levels in the H 2O 2 group were all significantly reduced ( P < 0.05), while the content of malondialdehyde and the activities of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly increased ( P < 0.05). Compared with H 2O 2 group, the cell proliferation activity ( P < 0.05), alterations in morphological remission of mitochondria, superoxide dismutase activity, reduced albumin and glutathione content, and PI3K, AKT and mTOR protein expression levels in the H 2O 2 + JDHY (1 mg/ml) and H 2O 2 + JDHY (1.5 mg/ml) group ( P < 0.05) were all significantly increased ( P < 0.05), while malondialdehyde content and alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase activities were significantly decreased ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:Jieduhuayu granule can effectively improve oxidative stress and mitochondrial injury in hepatocytes, and its effect may be related to the promoting expression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways.

Objective:To analyze the policy tools designed for function orientation and development of China′s infectious disease hospitals, in order to provide references for formulating and optimizing the functional implementation and sustainable development policies of these hospitals.Methods:Consulting the website of Peking University Law and official websites on health, and using such keywords as " medical institutions, infectious diseases, hospitals for infectious diseases, public health emergencies, specialized hospitals", and searching the national policy texts on the functions and development of infectious disease hospitals issued from December 1991 to January 2023. By means of Rothwell and Zegveld′s policy tool classification method, Nvivo 11 Pro software was used to analyze the text content from the dimensions of demand-type, supply-type, and environmental-type policy tools.Results:A total of 41 policy texts were included and 204 codes were obtained through text analysis. Of all the tools, environmental and supply-oriented policy tools were used the most, being 104 (50.99%) and 95 (46.56%) respectively, while demand-oriented policy tools were used the least, only 5 (2.45%). Of all the environmental-oriented policy tools, " goal planning" was the most used, being 34 (16.67%), while " publicity and guidance" was less used, only 4 (1.96%). Among the supply-oriented policy tools, " clarifying the reporting and handling service functions of public health emergencies" was the most widely used, being 34 (16.67%), while " Informationization" and " infrastructure construction" was less used, being 8 (3.92%) and 6 (2.94%) respectively. Few of the demand-oriented policy tools were in use, as " government purchase" and " medical insurance support" were both 2 (0.98% each), and " social medical care" was only 1 (0.49%).Conclusions:The distribution of three types of policy tools for function and development of infectious disease hospitals is unbalanced, the use of environmental and supply-oriented policy tools is excessive and internal structure is unbalanced. The proportion of environmental-oriented policy tools needs to be adjusted, and the frequency of use of supporting tools such as relevant standards, norms, incentives, supervision and publicity should be increased. Supply-oriented policies need to be further optimized, especially in terms of personnel training, funding, information technology and infrastructure construction. Demand-oriented policy tools are seriously underused and need to be further developed.
