Objective:
To understand the current situation and differences in physical activity among children and adolescents in different regions of China, so as to provide a scientific reference for promoting the level of overall physical activity promotion among children and adolescents in China.
Methods:
From June to December 2023, the student satisfaction assessment questionnaire for the national children and adolescents theme fitness activity "Run, Youth!" was conducted, which was administered via a combined online and offline questionnaire survey to explore 397 013 students participation in the "Run, Youth!" activity in 2023. Descriptive statistics, Logistic regression, and other approaches were utilized for data analysis.
Results:
There were notable disparities in the rates of children and adolescents meeting the physical activity standards among northeast China, northwest China, north China, east China, central China and southwest China (10.27%, 11.79%, 9.32%, 8.48%, 8.81%, 7.30%) ( χ 2=33.48, P <0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that rate of recommended level of physical activity among children in northwest China, boys, children aged 16-18, children in urban areas were relatively high ( OR =1.12, 1.68, 0.60, 1.88, P < 0.05 ). After adjusting for confounding factors, the results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that there was an interactive effect relationship between the interaction of region, age, gender, and urban-rural distribution and physical activity among children and adolescents ( OR=0.51, P <0.01). Based on gender analysis, weekly physical activity duration of boys in each region surpassed that of girls; based on age analysis, except for the central and southwestern regions, weekly physical activity duration of children and adolescents gradually increased with age in other regions; based on the proportion of urban and rural areas, weekly physical activity duration of children and adolescents in urban areas across all regions exceeded that in rural areas.
Conclusions
The attainment rate of sufficient physical activity among children and adolescents in northwest China is the highest, and the differences between regions are not significant. The participation and level of physical activity of male students in each region surpass those of females and the attainment rate of physical activity of physical activity of urban children and adolescents is higher than that of those in rural areas.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence put forward higher requirements for the computational speed, resource consumption and the biological interpretation of computational neuroscience. Spiking neuron networks can carry a large amount of information, and realize the imitation of brain information processing. However, its hardware is an important way to realize its powerful computing ability, and it is also a challenging technical problem. The memristor currently is the electronic devices that functions closest to the neuron synapse, and able to respond to spike voltage in a highly similar spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) mechanism with a biological brain, and has become a research hotspot to construct spiking neuron networks hardware circuit in recent years. Through consulting the relevant literature at home and abroad, this paper has made a thorough understanding and introduction to the research work of the spiking neuron networks based on the memristor in recent years.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of icariin (ICA) on autophagy in glucocorticoid-induced bone microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) mediated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway. MethodBMECs were isolated and cultured from femoral heads obtained during total hip arthroplasty and identified using immunofluorescence staining. The experimental cells were divided into four groups: A control group, a glucocorticoid group (100 mg·L-1 hydrocortisone), an ICA group (100 mg·L-1 hydrocortisone+6.7×10-3 mg·L-1 ICA), and a Rapamycin group (100 mg·L-1 hydrocortisone+6.7×10-3 mg·L-1 ICA+1 mg·L-1 rapamycin). Autophagy in BMECs was induced using 100 mg·L-1 hydrocortisone. LC3 fluorescence staining was used to observe the peak of autophagy at different time points. Western blot analysis was employed to analyze the expression of autophagy-related proteins and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway proteins in each group. Electron microscopy was used to observe autophagosomes and autolysosomes in the cells. ResultHydrocortisone at 100 mg·L-1 induced autophagy in BMECs, reaching a peak at around 5 hours, which then declined with further intervention. Compared to the control group, the glucocorticoid group showed cell membrane damage, disordered organelle arrangement, and a large number of autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Compared to the glucocorticoid group, the ICA group had more intact cell membranes, sparser organelle arrangement, and fewer autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Compared to the ICA group, the Rapamycin group showed cell membrane damage, disordered organelle arrangement, and more autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Compared to the control group, the glucocorticoid group had significantly increased expression of light chain 3B (LC3B), Atg4B, and p62 (P<0.01). Compared to the glucocorticoid group, the ICA group showed significantly decreased expression of LC3B, Atg4B, p62, and Beclin-1 (P<0.01). Compared to the ICA group, the Rapamycin group had significantly increased expression of Atg4B and p62 (P<0.01). Compared to the control group, the glucocorticoid group had significantly decreased expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR (P<0.01). Compared to the glucocorticoid group, the ICA group showed significantly increased expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR (P<0.01). Compared to the ICA group, the Rapamycin group had significantly decreased expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR (P<0.01). Ubiquitination levels were significantly decreased in the glucocorticoid group compared to the control group (P<0.01). Compared to the glucocorticoid group, ubiquitination levels were significantly increased in the ICA group (P<0.01), and significantly decreased in the Rapamycin group compared to the ICA group (P<0.01). ConclusionThe glucocorticoid-induced autophagy in BMECs is time-dependent. ICA inhibits glucocorticoid-induced autophagy in BMECs, and this effect may be related to the regulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Objective:
To establish a quantitative assay of serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) using xMAP technology and evaluate its performance.
Methods:
Monoclonal antibodies against GP73 were prepared and purified, and antibody pair screening was performed by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The screened antibodies were used to construct a Luminex liquid chip detection system, and the analysis performance of the detection system was evaluated. The serum levels of GP73 were detected in 90 clinical samples from healthy controls and patients with chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Results:
Five anti-GP73 monoclonal antibodies were prepared and purified, and 5 antibody pairs were successfully screened. The Luminex liquid chip detection system of GP73 was successfully constructed using 8F10D1 and 10B9F11 antibody pairs. The analytical performance evaluation showed that the sensitivity of this system was 0.25 ng/ml and the dynamic range was 0.25-100 ng/ml. No cross reactivity was observed. The intra- and inter-assay variation for GP73 was <8% and <11%, respectively. The recovery was 83%-92%. The linear regression equation was y=1.141x+ 6.436 (
