Objective:To carry out content analysis of clinical practice guideline recommendations related to physical activity in survivors of colorectal cancer at home and abroad so as to provide a reference for formulating a standardized and personalized physical activity plan for survivors of colorectal cancer.Methods:Clinical practice guidelines related to physical activity in survivors of colorectal cancer were retrieved in Chinese-English databases, guideline websites and professional society websites by computer from 1st, January 2009 to 1st, July 2019. Guideline recommendations were extracted, translated, classified and analyzed on content with the method of content analysis.Results:A total of 7 clinical practice guidelines were included and 26 recommendations on physical activity of survivors of colorectal cancer were extracted. A total of 8-item content on physical activity were analyzed including the safety and benefits of physical activity, assessment before physical activity, amount of physical activity, way of physical activity, intensity, frequency and duration of physical activity, attention of physical activity, contraindications of physical activity and incremental strategy of physical activity.Conclusions:There are many recommendations on the way, amount, frequency, intensity and attention of physical activity. There are inconsistencies between recommendation mentioned frequency and clinical importance, and consistencies between partial recommendations and domestic practice content, and the recom mendations are more diversified than domestic practice content. We should carry out localization for the high level of foreign guideline to explore the evidences suitable for physical activity in survivors of colorectal cancer in China.

BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders exhibit abnormalities in perceptual processing. Previous perceptual studies are mainly based on asking participants to fill in a questionnaire, and little research has been undertaken on objective behavior in patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders. ObjectiveTo explore the behavioral changes in vibrotactile sense among patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders, so as to enrich relevant findings in objective behavioral research. MethodsFrom March 2021 to September 2023, 33 patients with schizophrenia and 31 patients with depressive disorders in the outpatient and inpatient departments of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria were enrolled. And another 34 healthy controls were concurrently recruited at Beihang University and Beijing Huilongguan Hospital. Patients with schizophrenia were assessed using Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), and patients with depressive disorders were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17). The vibrotactile sensitivity of the left hand in all participants was tested in a delay match-to-sample procedure, and the correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task was compared among the three groups. ResultsCompared with healthy controls, a reduction was found in the correct rates at index finger, middle finger and ring finger in patients with schizophrenia (P<0.01), the average correct rate at five fingers in patients with schizophrenia (P=0.001), and the correct rate at thumb in patients with depressive disorders (P=0.026). No statistical difference was reported in correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task between patients with depression disorders and schizophrenia (P>0.05). The average correct rate of vibrotactile sense in schizophrenia group was not significantly correlated with the duration of disease, age of onset, chlorpromazine equivalent doses and PANSS score (r=0.058、0.045、0.114、-0.194, P>0.05). The average correct rate in depressive group was negatively correlated with age of onset (r=-0.415, P=0.020), but not significantly correlated with the duration of disease and HAMD-17 score (r=-0.044, 0.142, P>0.05). ConclusionPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders have impaired vibrotactile sense. The vibrotactile sense is impaired in index, middle and ring fingers among patients with schizophrenia, and in thumbs of patients with depressive disorders. Moreover, the impairment in patients with depressive disorders may be related to the age of onset. [Funded by 2023 Hebei Provincial Graduate Innovation Funding Project (number, CXZZSS2023140)]

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Buyang huanwu decoction on red blood cells in hyperlipidemia model mice. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet to prepare a hyperlipidemia model. Successfully modeled mice were randomly assigned to the model group, atorvastatin calcium group (0.26 g/kg), fenofibrate group (1.3 mg/kg), and high-, medium-, and low- dose groups of Buyang huanwu decoction (18.6, 9.3, 4.6 g/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Additionally, 10 mice fed with regular chow served as the normal group. Each group of mice received intragastric administration with the corresponding drug or normal saline once daily for 21 consecutive days. After the last administration, the body weight of the mice in each group was measured, and blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TAG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were measured. Red blood cell morphology changes were observed, and the expression levels of glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1), erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.2 (protein 4.2), caveolin-1, and flotillin-1 in erythrocyte membrane were determined. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the body weight and levels of TC, TAG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and the expression levels of GLUT1, caveolin-1 and flotillin-1 in the Buyang huanwu decoction groups were significantly decreased, while blood glucose levels and the expression levels of protein 4.2 were significantly increased (P<0.05). The red blood cell morphology in the low- and medium-dose groups of Buyang huanwu decoction was significantly promoted. CONCLUSIONS Buyang huanwu decoction can reduce blood lipid levels in hyperlipidemia model mice and strengthen the morphology and function of red blood cells in a hyperlipidemic environment, which has the potential to be used for preventing hyperlipidemia complications such as atherosclerosis.

BackgroundThe development of executive function in adolescents is influenced by many environmental factors. Previous studies have found that perceived stress is closely related to executive function, whereas its role in the mediation of executive function remains poorly studied. ObjectiveTo explore the role of negative affect and self-hate in mediating the relationship between perceived stress and executive function in adolescents, so as to assist the improvement of executive function in adolescents. MethodsQuestionnaires were administered to 7 734 adolescents from five junior and five senior high schools in Rizhao city, Shandong province from 1 to 30 May 2022. Data were collected using a self-made questionnaire, and adolescents were assessed using Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Self Report Version (BRIEF-SR), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4) and Self-Hate Scale (SHS). Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between variables. A Bootstrap method was chosen to examine the mediation effect of self-hate and negative affect on the relationship between perceived stress and executive function in adolescents. ResultsA total of 7 012 (90.66%) valid questionnaires were retrieved. BRIEF-SR score was positively correlated with PSS, PHQ-4 and SHS scores (r=0.564, 0.653, 0.597, P<0.01). PSS score was positively correlated with PHQ-4 and SHS scores (r=0.615, 0.531, P<0.01). PHQ-4 score was positively correlated with SHS score (r=0.566, P<0.01). The value of mediation effect of perceived stress on executive function was 0.574 (95% CI: 0.555~0.594). Self-hate (indirect effect value of 0.160, 95% CI: 0.145~0.175) and negative affect (indirect effect value of 0.143, 95% CI: 0.129~0.158), separately from each other, mediated the relationship between perceived stress and executive function, and a chained mediation effect of self-hate and negative affect was also documented (indirect effect value of 0.065, 95% CI: 0.058~0.073), accounting for 27.87%, 24.91% and 11.32% of the total effect, respectively. ConclusionThe perceived stress of adolescents may be a influencing factor of the executive function. Additionally, perceived stress can either directly affect executive function or indirectly through the separate or chained mediation via negative affect and self-hate.
