Objective To investigate the potential effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) on prevention and treatment of neonatal mice infected with human rotavirus (HRV). Methods Sixty 4-day-old kunming mice were randomly divided into control group. HRV infected group, L. acidophilus pretreated group (treated before HRV infection ) and L. acidophilus treated group(treated after HRV infection). The manifestation and pathological changes in small intestine of neonatal mice were observed. The HRV antigen in the feces and intestines were measured by ELISA and fluorescent-focus assay, respectively. Results The severity and duration of diarrhea as well as mortality in L. acidophilus pretreated group and treated group were lower than those in HRV infected group. The duration of HRV-antigens shedding following infection was considerably prolonged in HRV infected group compared to that in L. acidophilus pretreated group and treated group. Furthermore, decreased expression of HRV antigen and little pathological changes in intestinal mucosa were found in L. acidophilus pretreated group and treated group when compared with HRV infected group. Conclusion L. acidophilus may be used as an alternative approach for the prevention and treatment of neonatal mice infected with HRV.

Objective:
To explore the associations of physical activity and sleep quality with anxiety and depressive symptoms in college students, in order to provide empirical support and theoretical guidance for mental health intervention among college students.
Methods:
From March to April 2023, 2 099 college students from universities in 6 different provinces were selected by a convenient sampling method. Physical activity, sleep quality, anxiety and depressive symptoms were evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQSF), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) and the Anxiety SelfRating Scale (SAS), respectively. Descriptive statistics and Logistic regression models were used to analyze the data.
Results:
The reporting rates of lowintensity, moderateintensity, and highintensity physical activity among college students were 30.3%, 45.3%, and 24.4%, respectively. Moreover, among the participants, anxiety was detected in 21.6% and depressive symptoms in 39.9%, while 62.3% experienced poor sleep quality. Compared with males, females exhibited a lower proportion of highintensity physical activity (22.3% vs 42.8%), while reported higher proportions of moderateintensity (48.1% vs 40.8%) and lowintensity physical activity (29.5% vs 16.4%). Additionally, the proportion of females reporting poor sleep quality (65.0%) was higher than that of males (58.0%) (χ2=110.15, 10.70, P<0.05). The proportion of girls (43.8%) with depressive sypmtoms was higher than that of boys (33.9%) (χ2=20.48, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that high physical activity was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression (OR=0.45, 0.33), poor sleep quality was positively correlated with anxiety and depressive symptoms (OR=3.89, 3.94) (P<0.01).The interaction effect between high physical activity and good sleep quality was associated with the reduction of anxiety and depression among college students (OR=0.14, 0.08, P<0.01).
Conclusions
Physical activity and sleep quality are associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms among college students. The interventions for mental health problems such as depression and anxiety among college students should aim to improve physical activity and sleep quality.

BACKGROUND: The area of myocardial infarction is the determinative factor of acute myocardial infarction prognosis. Amelioration of blood transportation and replacement therapy can reduce infarction area. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into cardiovascular tissue and are easy to obtain. After cultured and expanded in vitro, they can become the ideal cells for cardiovascular replacement therapy.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of intracoronary transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of myocardial infarction. DESIGN: Self-control observation taking the patients as subjects.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, Department of Nuclear Medicine,Echocardiogram Room, Nanjing First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 20 patients with acute myocardial infarction who received the therapy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in the Department of Cardiology, Nanjing First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University during March 2003 to March 2004 were recurited. Informed consents were obtained from the patients, and the complete postoperative follow up was over 3 months. The patients include 15 male and 5 female, and they were aged (64±10) years.METHODS: All the patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to treat infarction-related blood vessel. Autologous bone marrow was taken from the patients, then stem cells were extracted to be performed in vitro induction, differentiation and proliferation, and transplanted infarction-related blood vessel through coronary artery at the mean number of (21.7±30.14)× 107 within 2 weeks. Before and 3 months after transplantation of stem cells, patients underwent gated dual-isotopic myocardial perfusion/metabolic imaging (18-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose, 18F-FDG) examination. Survived and necrotic myocardia were predicted and infarction area was obtained. At the same time, wall motion and heart function index were evaluated with ultrasound cardiography (UCG)examination, and they were re-checked 3 months after operation to evaluate the amelioration of wall motion and heart function index. A 5-point scale was used in the evaluation of gated dual-isotopic myocardial perfusion/metabolic imaging (18F-FDG) examination: point 0: normal, 1: sparse, 2:obviously sparse, 3: defected. Evaluative standard of UCG: point 1: normal,2: reduced, 3: obviously reduced, 4: no ventricular wall motion or paradoxical motion; Wall motion with 2 points or more than 2 points suggests it is improved.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Results of gated dual-isotopic myocardial perfusion/ metabolic imaging (18F-FDG-SPECT); ②Infarctionrelated myocardial segment score and heart function index before and after stem cell transplantation of patients in ECG follow-up observation.RESULTS: All the 20 patients participated in the result analysis.Results of gated dual-isotopic myocardial perrusion/metabolic imaging (18F-FDG-SPECT): The myocardial perfusion defect area of 20 patients was significantly reduced after therapy than before therapy [(33±15)%,-(44±18)% ,P < 0.05]; Metabolie defect area was significantly reduced after therapy than before therapy [(33±17)%, (43±21)% ,P < 0.05];Before therapy, there were 199 segments, in which blood flow reperfusion was matched to glycometabolism defect, and they were determined as necrotic myocardium. After therapy, blood flow perfusion metabolism was improved in 79 segments, but blood flow perfusion and glycometabolism were not improved significantly in 120 segments (P < 0.05). Results of UCG: ejection fraction of patients was significantly larger after therapy than before therapy [(53±8)%, (42±7)% ,P < 0.05].CONCLUSION: Intracoronary transplantation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for treating myocardial infarction is simple to operate. After therapy, the infarction area is obviously reduced, myocardial blood flow perfusion and metabolism of necrotic area improve, myocardial segments without survival determined before operation reduce sigrificantly and the heart function of patients improve.

Objective:To investigate the current smoking status and smoking abstinence self-efficacy of stroke smoking patients, to clarify the factors associated with the smoking abstinence self-efficacy in stroke patients, and to provide a theoretical basis for subsequent targeted interventions and guidance for smoking cessation.Methods:A total of 196 stroke patients admitted to the Neurology Department of Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from September to December in 2021 were surveyed adopted cross-sectional survey method by the General Information Questionnaire, the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, the Tobacco Hazard Perception Score, and the Smoking Abstinence Self Efficacy Scale. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors associated with patients' smoking abstinence self-efficacy.Results:The overall score of self-efficacy for smoking in stroke patients was (20.78 ± 6.47), and the scores of each dimension in descending order were habit/addiction, negative/emotional and positive/social situations. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that occupation, nicotine dependence score and cognition score of tobacco harm were the influencing factors of smoking abstinence self-efficacy, which could explain 37.4% variation of smoking abstinence self-efficacy.Conclusions:The self-efficacy level of smoking patients with stroke needs to be improved, and helping patients to improve their perception of tobacco harm and reduce their nicotine dependence can improve their self-efficacy level to increase the success rate of smoking cessation, thus reducing or even quitting the health risks caused by smoking behavior.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum uric acid level and non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:A medical examination cohort of our hospital′s staff was constructed. From February 1, 2012 to January 29, 2013, a total of 3, 479 staff without NAFLD were selected as research subjects, and baseline data were collected through a questionnaire survey, physical examination, abdominal ultrasound examination, blood lipid, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, and other laboratory tests. From February 1, 2013 to December 31, 2018, the patients were followed up during the annual physical examination for six years. The serum uric acid level was used as the observation index and divided into four groups from A to D according to the quartile. With the occurrence of NAFLD as the outcome indicator; the four groups of uric acid as the observation indicator; and age, body mass index, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, creatinine, and alanine aminotrans ferase as confounding factors; four Cox regression analysis models were constructed to explore the relationship between groups of different blood uric acid levels and NAFLD. Stratified by gender, three Cox regression analysis models were constructed to investigate the relationship between blood uric acid level grouping and NAFLD between different genders.Results:The six-year cumulative incidence of NAFLD in groups A, B, C, and D was 1.2%, 3.1%, 4.9%, and 12%, respectively (χ 2=114.710, P<0.05). Among the female workers, the six-year cumulative incidence rates in groups A, B, C, and D were 1.0%, 2.9%, 4.1% and 10.9%, respectively (χ 2=71.241, P<0.05). The incidence risk of NAFLD in groups B, C, and D was 2.04 (1.01-4.11), 2.24 (1.13-4.44), and 3.89 (1.94-7.80) times that of group A, P<0.05, respectively. The incidence risk of NAFLD in groups B, C, and D was 2.21 (1.02-4.77), 2.39 (1.10-5.19), and 4.49 (1.99-10.15) times that of group A, all P<0.05, respectively. Conclusion:The risk of NAFLD increased with the increase of serum uric acid level, and this trend was mainly manifested in female employees.
