Objective: To examine the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness of obese primary school students, so as to provide a theoretical basis and practical reference for HIIT exercise prescription in schools. Methods: From August to December 2022, 25 obese children [age:(11.0±0.4)years, BMI:(23.3±0.8)kg/m 2] from a primary school in Shenzhen were recruited and divided into an exercise group ( n =13) and a control group ( n =12). After 12 weeks of exercise intervention [The durations of load period and intermittent period were 15 s, load exercise intensity was 100% maximal aerobic speed (MAS), and intermittent exercise intensity was 50% MAS, each time there were 2 groups× 8 rounds, and the rest between groups was 2 minutes, totaling 10 minutes, and 20 meter shuttle run test (20 m-SRT) was performed once every 4 weeks to adjust and update MAS], the changes in body composition and cardio respiratory fitness indexes of obese subjects before and after the intervention were compared. Results: After the intervention, body weight, BMI, body fat, body fat percentage, and visceral adipose tissue area of obese subjects in the exercise group decreased from (55.6±6.2)kg, (22.7±0.6)kg/m 2, (41.8±6.9)kg, ( 23.4± 5.5)% and (102.4±39.0)cm 2 to (52.3±5.8)kg, (21.1±0.8)kg/m 2, (38.6±6.3)kg, (20.2±4.5)% and (84.2±26.9)cm 2, respectively( t =8.73, 10.96, 7.02, 4.92, 4.95, P <0.05). SBP decreased from (115.4±9.7)mmHg to (112.3±8.7)mmHg ( t = 2.96 , P <0.05). The content of skeletal muscle, 20 m-SRT and VO 2max increased from (21.3±5.3)kg, (21.6±4.9) times and (39.4±2.0)mL/(kg ·min) to (21.8±5.2)kg, (31.4±6.3)times and (43.6±2.6)mL/(kg ·min), respectively ( t =-3.33, -8.37, -10.56 , P <0.05). Conclusions HIIT is an effective way to improve the body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness of obese primary school students. It is recommended that schools with the necessary conditions use this method as an intervention measure to help reduce weight and improve cardiovascular health among obese students.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the anti-inflammatory activity and potential mechanism of Clematis ranunculoides extract. METHODS The ear swelling was induced by xylene to establish an acute inflammation model of mice； using aspirin （0.25 g/kg） as a positive control， the effects of 1.25， 2.5， 5 g/kg C. ranunculoides extract on the degree of ear swelling were investigated. The chronic inflammation model of rats was also established by implanting cotton balls； using aspirin （0.17 g/kg） as a positive control， the effects of 0.88， 1.75， 3.5 g/kg C. ranunculoides extract on the net weight of granulomas were investigated. Furthermore， RAW264.7 cells were induced by lipopolysaccharide to establish an inflammatory injury model； the effects of 12.5， 25， 50 μg/mL C. ranunculoides extract on the contents of nitric oxide（NO）， prostaglandin E2（PGE2）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6（IL-6） and monocyte chemotactic protein-1（MCP-1） in the cell supernatant， the protein expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase（iNOS）， cyclooxygenase-2（COX-2）， p65 and phosphorylated p65（p-p65） in cells as well as nuclear translocation of p65 protein were assessed. RESULTS C. ranunculoides extract with 5 g/kg significantly relieved ear swelling in mice， and C. ranunculoides extract with 1.75， 3.5 g/kg significantly decreased the net weight of granulomas in rats （P＜0.05）. C. ranunculoides extract with 12.5， 25， 50 μg/mL significantly reduced the contents of NO （except for 12.5 μg/mL C. ranunculoides extract）， PGE2， TNF-α， IL-6 and MCP-1 in the cell supernatant， as well as the relative expressions of iNOS and COX-2 protein， and relative expression ratio of p-p65 and p65 protein （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； C. ranunculoides extract with 25， 50 μg/mL inhibited the translocation of p65 protein to the cell nucleus. CONCLUSIONS C. ranunculoides extract exhibits significant anti- inflammatory activity， the mechanism of which may be attributed to the inhibition of the activation of nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway， down-regulation of COX-2 and iNOS protein expression， and the reduction of inflammatory cytokines release.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinical application of self-developed magnetic anchoring device for assisting thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. 【Methods】 Eleven patients underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary assisted with resection magnetic anchoring technique at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, from March to May 2019. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The operation time, blood loss, blood transfusion volume, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded. 【Results】 There were seven male and four female patients, with the average age of (51.6±13.9) years (range from 22 to 69 years). Three single-port and eight single-utility-port thoracoscopic surgeries were performed. Magnetic instruments provided good surgical field exposure in all operations. Among 11 surgeries, one was converted to thoracotomy and one to three-hole surgery due to enlargement and adhesion of hilar lymph nodes. The operation time was (107.8±63.1) minutes (range of 27-182 minutes). The blood loss was 50 (10-50)mL (range of 5-1 000 mL). No blood transfusion was needed during the operation. The postoperative hospital stay was (5.0±1.8) days (range of 3-9 days). No postoperative complications occurred in all the patients. 【Conclusion】 Magnetic anchor technique can effectively alleviate the "chopstick effect" in thoracoscopic surgery. Magnetic anchor technique is safe and feasible in assisting thoracoscopic pulmonary resection.
