Objective: To explore the bidirectional correlation between daily physical activity and different emotional states of university students with sports major, and to provide theoretical basis for promoting equality between physical and mental health of college students. Methods: The accelerometer and daily emotion scale were used to evaluate 219 physical education major college students recruited from Tianjin University of Sport. Correlation analysis, intra group correlation coefficient analysis and Harman single factor method were used to test the data, and Mplus 7.4 was used to analyze cross hysteria. Results: Physical activity was positively correlated with high arousal/low arousal positive emotion, and negatively correlated with low arousal/high arousal negative emotion ( r=0.94, 0.63, -0.28, -0.17, P <0.05). The cross lag model showed that physical activity on Thursday and Friday positively predicted high arousal positive emotion on Friday and Saturday, and high arousal positive emotion on Thursday and Friday positively predicted physical activity on Friday and Saturday( β =0.91, 0.20; 0.88, 0.39, P ＜0.05). Low arousal positive emotion on Thursday and Friday was a positive prediction of physical activity on Friday and Saturday, but only physical activity on Thursday positively predicted low arousal positive emotion on Friday( β=0.68, 0.35, 0.70, P ＜0.05). Low arousal negative emotion on Thursdays and Fridays negatively predicted physical activity on Friand and Saturdays( β=-0.37, -0.40, P ＜0.05). Conclusion There is a bidirectional correlation between daily physical activity and positive emotion, but a weak correlation with negative emotion. Attention should be paid to the emotional benefits of physical activity and the increasing physical activity by greater mood improvements.

Objective: To investigate factors associated with life satisfaction among adolescents who have been relocated for poverty alleviation,so as to provide scientific evidence to support adolescent physical and mental well being. Methods: A multi stage stratified random sampling was conducted from June to August 2023 across 24 relocation sites in 8 counties of 4 cities in Shanxi Province. A total of 631 adolescents aged 10-19 were surveyed regarding personal characteristics, family environment, health behaviors, mental health, and social capital. Univariate analysis of variance and binary Logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors. Results: The life satisfaction rate of the relocated adolescents was 63.9%(403/631), and the average score of life satisfaction was (23.21±6.28). The Logistic regression analysis showed that, significant factors affecting life satisfaction of the relocated adolescents included age (17-19 years old: AOR= 0.54 , 95%CI =0.33-0.88), subjective family economic status (moderate: AOR=1.70, 95%CI =1.04-2.76; good: AOR=6.95, 95%CI =1.85-26.16), sleep quality (good: AOR=1.61, 95%CI =1.09-2.38), depression ( AOR=0.94, 95%CI =0.90-0.99), and social capital ( AOR=1.17, 95%CI =1.10-1.23)( P <0.05). Conclusions The satisfaction of 17-19 year old adolescents who have relocated for poverty alleviation is relatively low, while those with better family economic status, high sleep quality, low depression level and rich social capital showed high life satisfaction. Targeted interventions by families, communities, schools, and social institutions are recommended to improve adolescents quality of life.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) antagonist telmisartan on retina vessel endothelial cell apoptosis and its impact on the ACE2-Ang-(1-7)-Mas axis in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR).

METHODSThirty-six SHR 16 week-old were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 12 each): SHR, SHRT (telmisartan 10 mg · kg-1 · d-1 by gastric gavage) and SHRTA group (telmisartan 10 mg · kg-1 · d-1 by gastric gavage plus intravenous injection of A-779 0.5 mg · kg-1 · d-1), twelve WKY rats served as normotensive control group. Systolic blood pressure was measured at pre-treatment and 8 weeks later. After 8 weeks, rats were sacrificed, the expression of ACE2 and Mas in retina were analyzed by qRT-PCR, Western blot and Immunohistochemistry, the Ang-(1-7) concentration in serum was measured by ELISA. Specimens were obtained and stained by hematoxylin and eosin, and the morphology of retina vessel was observed. Apoptosis of vessel endothelial cells were determined by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling method.

RESULTSThe systolic blood pressure of SHR, SHRT and SHRTA groups at baseline were significantly higher than age-matched WKY group (all P < 0.01). Eight weeks later, the systolic blood pressure group was significantly lower in SHRT group than in the SHR group (P < 0.01), this effect was partly reversed in SHRTA group. The retinal ACE2 mRNA and protein expression was significantly lower in SHR group than in WKY and SHRT groups (P < 0.01), which was similar between SHRT group and SHRTA group (P > 0.05). The retinal Mas mRNA and protein expression were significantly lower in SHR group compared to WKY and SHRT groups (all P < 0.01), which was significantly lower in SHRTA group than in the SHRT group (P < 0.05). ELISA results showed that serum Ang-(1-7) protein level was significantly lower in SHR group than in WKY group and SHRT group (both P < 0.05), which was lower in SHRTA group compared to SHRT group. Retinal vessel endothelial cell apoptosis was higher in SHR group than in WKY group, which could be reduced by cotreatment with telmisartan and this beneficial effect could be reversed by A-779.

CONCLUSIONTelmisartan can reduce retinal vessel endothelial cell apoptosis via upregulating the ACE2-Ang-(1-7)-Mas axis.

Pancreatitis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases of the pancreas caused by autodigestion induced by excessive premature protease activation. However, recognition of novel pathophysiological mechanisms remains a still challenge. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis of pancreatitis, and the gut microbiota is a potential source of an environmental effect. In recent years, several new frontiers in gut microbiota and genetic risk assessment research have emerged and improved the understanding of the disease. These investigations showed that the disease progression of pancreatitis could be regulated by the gut microbiome, either through a translocation influence or in a host immune response manner. Meanwhile, the onset of the disease is also associated with the heritage of a pathogenic mutation, and the disease progression could be modified by genetic risk factors. In this review, we focused on the recent advances in the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis, and the genetic susceptibility in pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND:Scaffold materials serve as platforms that provide space and structure,playing a crucial role in the regeneration of cartilage tissue.Scholars from around the world are exploring different approaches to fabricate more ideal scaffold materials. OBJECTIVE:To review the design principles and preparation methods of cartilage scaffolds,and to further explore the advantages and limitations of various preparation methods. METHODS:Literature searches were conducted on the databases of CNKI,WanFang Data,PubMed,and FMRS from 1998 to 2023.The search terms were"cartilage repair,cartilage tissue engineering,cartilage scaffold materials,preparation"in Chinese and English.A total of 57 articles were ultimately reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The articular cartilage has a unique structure and limited self-repair capacity after injury.Even if self-repair occurs,the newly formed cartilage is typically fibrocartilage,which is far inferior to normal articular cartilage in terms of structure and mechanical properties.It is difficult to maintain normal function and often leads to degenerative changes.Currently,the design and fabrication of scaffold materials for cartilage repair need to consider the following aspects:biocompatibility and biodegradability,suitable pore structure and porosity,appropriate mechanical properties,and bioactivity.(2)Research on the preparation of cartilage scaffolds has made significant progress,continuously introducing new preparation methods and optimization strategies.These methods have their advantages and disadvantages,providing more possibilities for customized preparation and functional design of cartilage scaffolds according to specific requirements.

BACKGROUND:Bone formation is the process by which osteoblasts synthesize and secrete osteoid and promote its mineralization,which generally involves mechanical signal transduction.Osteoblasts are primarily regulated by mechanical factors such as gravity,compressive stress,tensile stress,fluid shear stress,and hydrostatic pressure in vivo,and different mechanical stimuli modulate the proliferation,differentiation,and apoptosis of osteoblasts through various mechanisms,including hormones,cytoskeletal proteins,and microRNAs.By clarifying the effects of biomechanical forces on osteoblasts,it provides ideas and a reference basis for the treatment of osteometabolic diseases involving osteoblasts. OBJECTIVE:To review the effects of different biomechanical forces on the biological characteristics of osteoblasts. METHODS:We conducted a literature search using PubMed,Web of Science,FMRS,CNKI,and WanFang databases for relevant publications published from 2000 to 2023,covering basic research and tissue engineering studies related to the effects of biomechanical forces on osteoblasts.Ultimately,a total of 70 articles were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Different biomechanical forces have an impact on the biological characteristics of osteoblasts,including proliferation,differentiation,and apoptosis,and these effects are dependent on the intensity and duration of the applied force.Specifically,the effects are as follows:(1)Under microgravity conditions,osteoblast proliferation and differentiation are inhibited,resulting in a decrease in bone density and the development of osteoporosis.(2)Compared to microgravity,hypergravity has a promoting effect on osteoblast proliferation.(3)The effects of compressive stress on osteoblasts are dependent on the loading intensity and time.Appropriate compressive stress can promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation,which is beneficial for bone tissue formation and repair,while excessive compressive stress can cause osteoblast apoptosis and bone tissue destruction.(4)The biological effects of different types of tensile stress on osteoblasts differ.Studies have shown that a strain rate within the range of 0-12%has a promoting effect on osteoblast proliferation.(5)Fluid shear stress can promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation and enhance the bone-inducing effect of biomaterials.(6)Static hydrostatic pressure can affect the biological behavior of osteoblasts,including proliferation,differentiation,and apoptosis,and these effects are closely related to the time and intensity of the pressure.Understanding the effects of different biomechanical forces on osteoblasts is of great significance for a deeper understanding of bone growth and maintenance mechanisms.

Purpose: Neoadjuvant therapy modality can increase the operability rate and mitigate pathological risks in locally advanced cervical cancer, but treatment response varies widely. It remains unclear whether genetic alterations correlate with the response to neoadjuvant therapy and disease-free survival (DFS) in locally advanced cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 62 locally advanced cervical cancer (stage IB-IIA) patients who received neoadjuvant chemoradiation plus radical hysterectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Patients’ tumor biopsy samples were comprehensively profiled using targeted next generation sequencing. Pathologic response to neoadjuvant treatment and DFS were evaluated against the association with genomic traits. Results: Genetic alterations of PIK3CA were most frequent (37%), comparable to that of Caucasian populations from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The mutation frequency of genes including TERT, POLD1, NOS2, and FGFR3 was significantly higher in Chinese patients whereas RPTOR, EGFR, and TP53 were underrepresented in comparison to Caucasians. Germline mutations were identified in 21% (13/62) of the cohort and more than half (57%) had mutations in DNA damage repair genes, including BRCA1/2, TP53 and PALB2. Importantly, high tumor mutation burden, TP53 polymorphism (rs1042522), and KEAP1 mutations were found to be associated with poor pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation treatment. KEAP1 mutations, PIK3CA-SOX2 co-amplification, TERC copy number gain, and TYMS polymorphism correlated with an increased risk of disease relapse. Conclusion We report the genomic profile of locally advanced cervical cancer patients and the distinction between Asian and Caucasian cohorts. Our findings highlight genomic traits associated with unfavorable neoadjuvant chemoradiation response and a higher risk of early disease recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the factors affecting the effect of periprostatic nerve block (PNB), establish a prediction model of pain degree, and verify the prediction efficiency.Methods:The clinical data of 314 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy in our hospital from June 2022 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 71 (65, 76) years, the median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 14.6 (10.70, 24.65) ng/ml, and the median puncture needle number was 21 (19, 23) needles, median prostate volume 45.86 (31.52, 67.96) ml, median body mass index (BMI)24.02(22.97, 25.33)kg/m 2, including 109 patients with a history of diabetes, 90 patients with a history of surgery, and 57 patients with a history of severe trauma. The patients were divided into mild pain group (1-3 points), moderate pain group (4-6 points) and severe pain group (7-10 points) according to the intraoperative visual analogue scale (VAS). According to the clinical characteristics, the factors affecting the effect of PNB were analyzed by univariate analysis and multiple ordered logistic regression method. R language was used to construct a nomogram model for predicting PNB effect, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were drawn, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test was carried out to verify the prediction efficiency of the model. Results:The results of univariate analysis showed that 171 patients in the mild pain group had a median age of 71 (65, 75) years, a median PSA14.5 (9.6, 24.6) ng/ml, a median number of puncture needles of 20 (18, 22), and a median prostate volume of 34.94 (26.36, 45.12) ml, median BMI24.17(23.14, 25.79)kg/m 2, including 74 patients with a history of diabetes, 51 patients with a history of surgery, and 40 patients with a history of severe trauma; There were 110 patients in the moderate pain group, the median age was 71 (65, 76) years, the median PSA14.8 (11.03, 24.27) ng/ml, the median number of puncture needles was 23 (20, 24) needles, median prostatic volume 63.24 (49.14, 78.72) ml, median BMI23.91(22.58, 24.88)kg/m 2, including 26 patients with a history of diabetes, 29 patients with a history of surgery, and 10 patients with a history of severe trauma; In the severe pain group, 33 patients had a median age of 73 (67, 78) years, a median PSA14.6 (10.85, 34.80) ng/ml, and a median puncture needle number of 23 (22.5, 24) needles, median prostate volume 70.64 (61.50, 104.51) ml, median BMI24.32(23.00, 26.06)kg/m 2, including 9 patients with a history of diabetes, 10 patients with a history of surgery, and 7 patients with a history of severe trauma. The results of univariate analysis showed that the number of puncture needles ( P<0.01), prostate volume ( P<0.01), history of diabetes ( P=0.002) and history of major trauma ( P= 0.009) were the factors affecting the effect of PNB. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that puncture needle number ( P=0.009), prostate volume ( P<0.01) and diabetes history ( P=0.041) were independent risk factors for PNB effect. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the moderate and above pain prediction model was 0.872, P<0.01; the area under ROC curve of the severe pain prediction model was 0.817, P<0.01; the result of Hosmer-Lemeshow test of the moderate and above pain prediction model was χ2=5.001, P=0.757. The results of the severe pain prediction model were χ2=4.452 and P=0.814. The calibration curve was established, which showed that the prediction probability of pain degree was in good agreement with the actual risk. Conclusions:The number of puncture needles, prostate volume and history of diabetes are the risk factors affecting the effect of PNB. The prediction model of PNB effect based on this model can be used to predict the pain degree of patients undergoing prostate biopsy after PNB.

Objective:To investigate the effect of local anesthesia in patients with a PI-RADS score of 5 and ECOG score ≥2 for prostate puncture.Methods:Retrospective analysis of case data of 33 patients admitted to the Subei People's Hospital for prostate puncture from April 2020 to April 2022. Age (82.5±3.6) years. There were 18 cases with hypertensive disease, 8 cases with diabetes mellitus, and 6 cases with both diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disease. Body mass index (25.2±3.5) kg/m 2. prostate-specific antigen (PSA)(131.5±69.7) ng/ml. prostate volume (38.5±21.4) ml. all patients had a PI-RADS score of 5 on multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMRI) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≥2. All 33 cases in this group underwent trans-perineal targeted prostate puncture using local anesthesia at the tip of the prostate. The visual analog score (VAS) and visual numeric score (VNS) were applied by the same surgeon to assess the patient's pain level and satisfaction at the time of puncture (VAS-1 and VNS-1) and 30 min after puncture (VAS-2 and VNS-2), and to record the duration of the procedure and the occurrence of postoperative complications. Results:In this group of 33 cases, the VAS-1 score was (1.9±0.3) and the VAS-2 score was (0.1±0.2); the VNS-1 score was (2.9±0.2) and the VNS-2 score was (3.9±0.1). Postoperative pathological results indicated that one of the 33 patients had a negative puncture result (pathology report indicating interstitial inflammation), while the rest of the patients had a positive puncture pathology report (puncture pathology report indicating prostate cancer), with a positive rate of 97%. One case of postoperative carnal haematuria occurred, which gradually improved after the patient was advised to drink water and take alpha-blockers. No perineal hematoma occurred, and all patients did not suffer complications such as urinary tract infection, urinary retention, azoospermia, vagal reaction, and infectious shock.Conclusion:In patients with a PI-RADS score of 5 and ECOG score ≥2, the use of single-hole local anesthesia for performing trans-perineal targeted puncture biopsy has the advantages of good paroxysmal pain and high safety.

The correlation between hearing loss (HL) and physical performance in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) remains poorly investigated. This study explored the association between HL and physical performance in patients on MHD. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted between July 2020 and April 2021 in seven hemodialysis centers in Shanghai and Suzhou, China. The hearing assessment was performed using pure-tone average (PTA). Physical performance was assessed using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), handgrip strength, and gait speed. Results: Finally, 838 adult patients (male, 516 [61.6%]; 61.2 ± 2.6 years) were enrolled. Among them, 423 (50.5%) had mild to profound HL (male, 48.6% and female, 53.4%). Patients with HL had poorer physical performance than patients without HL (p < 0.001). TUGT was positively correlated with PTA (r = 0.265, p < 0.001), while handgrip strength and gait speed were negatively correlated with PTA (r = –0.356, p < 0.001 and r = –0.342, p < 0.001, respectively). Physical performance in patients aged <60 years showed significant dose-response relationships with HL. After adjusting for confounders, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for HL across the TUGT quartiles (lowest to highest) were 1.00 (reference), 1.15 (0.73–1.81), 1.69 (1.07–2.70), and 2.87 (1.69–4.88) (p for trend = 0.005). Conclusion: Lower prevalence of HL was associated with a faster TUGT and a stronger handgrip strength in patients on MHD.
