Objective: To examine differences in depressive and anxiety symptoms between boarding and non boarding high school students and their associations with physical activity (PA) patterns, so as to provide evidence to inform adolescent mental health promotion. Methods: From October to December 2024, a convenience sample of 11 782 students aged 15-18 years was recruited from 36 schools in Nanchang, Ganzhou, and Shangrao of Jiangxi Province. Depressive and anxiety symptoms and PA were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and International Physical Activity Questionary Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Logistic regression model was used to examine associations between PA patterns, depressive and anxiety symptoms among boarding and non boarding students. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms were 45.7% and 46.4% among boarding and non boarding students, respectively; for anxiety symptoms, the corresponding rates were 43.0% and 46.7%. Boarding and non boarding students differed significantly in smoking status, screen time, sleep duration, sedentary time, daily vegetable intake, and napping ( χ 2=16.74-664.17, all P <0.01). Across PA pattern groups, the detection rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms differed significantly between boarding and non boarding students ( χ 2 depression = 23.85 , χ 2 anxiety = 22.78, both P <0.01). Adjusted for confounding factors, Logistic regression analysis of high school students showed that compared with the not meeting PA recommendations, both the concentrated and regular PA pattern were associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms [ OR (95% CI )=0.83(0.70-0.98), 0.90(0.83-0.98)]; and the concentrated pattern was also associated with lower odds of anxiety symptoms [ OR (95% CI )=0.78(0.65-0.92)], and the association of anxiety symptoms in concentrated boarding students was consistent with that of the overall group [ OR (95% CI )=0.71(0.52-0.98)] (all P <0.05). Conclusions There is a correlation of different physical activity patterns with depressive and anxiety symptoms among boarding and non boarding high school students. Schools should ensure students engage in regular physical activity and work to increase overall activity volume.

Objective:To assess the diagnostic performance of serum anti-toxocara immunoglobulin G (anti-T-IgG) in ocular toxocariasis (OT) patients.Methods:A diagnostic tests. A total of 109 patients (109 eyes) with clinically-suspected OT who treated in Department of Ophthalmology of Xuzhou First People’s Hospital from June 2015 to December 2022 were included. Patients were divided into two groups, 76 with OT and 33 with non-OT, according to the clinical manifestations and Goldmann-Witmer coefficient. Paired serum and intraocular fluid samples from each patient were collected and analyzed for specific anti-T-IgG using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Mann-Whitney test was performed for comparison between groups. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to assess the diagnostic performance of serum anti-T-IgG. Kappa analysis was performed to examine the consistency of serum or intraocular fluid anti-T-IgG positive rate with OT diagnostic result. Spearman’s rank correlation test was performed to assess the association.Results:Compared with the non-OT group, the proportions of children and history of exposure to cats and dogs ( χ2=9.785, 12.026) were significantly higher in OT group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The positive rate ( χ2=24.551) and U value ( Z=-4.379) of serum anti-T-IgG in OT group were higher than those in non-OT group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.000 1). The recommended serum anti-T-IgG cut-off value of 11 U had 0.72 sensitivity, 0.79 specificity, 0.89 positive predictive value, 0.55 negative predictive value, and 0.77 area under the ROC with 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.669-0.860. Correlation analysis showed that serum anti-T-IgG was positively correlated with intraocular fluid anti-T-IgG ( r s=0.520, 95% CI 0.363-0.648, P<0.000 1). The Kappa values of serum and intraocular fluid anti-T-IgG positive rate with OT diagnosis were 0.457 (95% CI 0.292-0.622) and 0.711 (95% CI 0.582-0.840), respectively. The Kappa value of serum anti-T-IgG positive rate with OT diagnosis was lower than that of intraocular fluid. Conclusion:The sensitivity and specificity of serum anti-T-IgG and the consistency between serum anti-T-IgG positive rate and OT diagnosis are low, suggesting that serum anti-T-IgG level cannot be used as a basis for OT diagnosis.

AIM:To investigate whether the expression of perilipin 2(PLIN2)in renal tubular cells could predict a decline in renal function in diabetic kidney disease(DKD)patients,and to explore the potential mechanisms in-volved in renal tubular cell injury induced by PLIN2 during the progression of DKD.METHODS:Control individuals(n=12)and DKD patients(n=51)were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study.Demographic and laboratory data were col-lected.A simplified linear mixed-effects model was applied to assess the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)slope.The relationship between PLIN2 and renal function decline in DKD patients was predicted by Spearman correlation analysis and a generalized linear model.BKS-db/db diabetic mice and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice were used.Primary renal tubular cells were treated with glucose and transfected with small interfering RNA or plasmid.Western blot-ting and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect PLIN2 expression.Lipid droplets were stained with oil red O.The oxygen consumption rate(OCR)of mitochondria was measured using an extracellular flux analyser.RESULTS:The expression of PLIN2 was markedly higher in the tubules of DKD patients than in those of control subjects.After 24(12,39)months of follow-up,the eGFR slope of DKD patients was-7.42(-19.77,-2.09)mL/(min·1.73 m2·year).An in-crease in the baseline percentage of PLIN2-positive tubules was significantly associated with the eGFR slope during the fol-low-up period[hazard ratio(HR)=1.90,95%confidence interval(CI):1.00～3.58],indicating that tubular PLIN2 could predict a decrease in renal function in DKD patients.Both the accumulation of lipid droplets and the expression of PLIN2 were markedly greater in the tubules of diabetic mice than in those of control mice.Glucose treatment induced lipid droplet accumulation and PLIN2 expression in renal tubular cells.Knockdown of PLIN2 significantly alleviated glucose-in-duced lipid droplet accumulation,whereas PLIN2 overexpression aggravated glucose-induced lipid droplet accumulation.The decrease in mitochondrial OCR in renal tubular cells induced by glucose treatment was alleviated after PLIN2 knock-down.However,overexpression of PLIN2 directly decreased the mitochondrial OCR.CONCLUSION:The PLIN2 ex-pression in tubules predicts a decline in renal function in patients with DKD.The PLIN2 suppresses mitochondrial aerobic respiration and contributes to the accumulation of lipid droplets in renal tubular cells to promote the progression of DKD.

Chronic diabetic wound remains a critical challenge suffering from the complicated negative microenvironments, such as high-glucose, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), hypoxia and malnutrition. Unfortunately, few strategies have been developed to ameliorate the multiple microenvironments simultaneously. In this study, Chlorella sp. (Chlorella) hydrogels were prepared against diabetic wounds. In vitro experiments demonstrated that living Chlorella could produce dissolved oxygen by photosynthesis, actively consume glucose and deplete ROS with the inherent antioxidants, during the daytime. At night, Chlorella was inactivated in situ by chlorine dioxide with human-body harmless concentration to utilize its abundant contents. It was verified in vitro that the inactivated-Chlorella could supply nutrition, relieve inflammation and terminate the oxygen-consumption of Chlorella-respiration. The advantages of living Chlorella and its contents were integrated ingeniously. The abovementioned functions were proven to accelerate cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in vitro. Then, streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice were employed for further validation. The in vivo outcomes confirmed that Chlorella could ameliorate the undesirable microenvironments, including hypoxia, high-glucose, excessive-ROS and chronic inflammation, thereby synergistically promoting tissue regeneration. Given the results above, Chlorella is considered as a tailor-made therapeutic strategy for diabetic wound healing.

Objective:To explore the correlation between socioeconomic status (SES) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Methods:A total of 276 T2D patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to June 2020 were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated according to the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) and the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration equation(CKD-EPI formula) based on serum creatinine. The patients were divided into simple T2D group (184 cases) and DKD group (92 cases). Collect demographic and laboratory examination data, record education, income and occupation, and calculate standardized SES scores. According to SES scores, subjects were divided in three levels: SES≤9, SES≥10-≤12, and SES≥13. Student's t test was used for comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between two groups, and one-way ANOVA was used for comparison between multiple groups. Non-normal distribution was represented by M( Q1, Q3), and rank-sum test was used for comparison between groups. Counting data were expressed as frequency or percentage, and chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Bofferoni test was further used for pairwise comparison of indicators with statistical significance among multiple groups. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between variables. The risk factors were analyzed by binary Logistic regression. Results:The age of the subjects was (53.37±10.68) years, men accounted for 55.8% (154/276), the duration of diabetes was 60.00 (12.00, 134.00) months, and eGFR was (97.56±21.15) mL/(min·1.73 m 2).

Demographic Sociological Data Questionnaire and Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV) were used to conduct surveys among nurses. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the effect of demographic sociological data on critical thinking of clinical research nurses. A total of 110 questionnaires were distributed, and 106 valid questionnaires were recovered. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 96.36% (106/110) .Results:The total score of CTDI-CV of 106 nurses was (296.25±24.12) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, education, professional title and working years were the influencing factors of the level of critical thinking of clinical research nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The critical thinking ability of clinical research nurses is affected by age, professional title, educational background and working years. It is suggested to take effective measures to improve the critical thinking ability of nurses according to the actual situation, and then improve the clinical research level of nurses.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance and biological effect of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NRSN2-AS1 in ovarian cancer.Methods:The expression of NRSN2-AS1 was detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) in 84 cases of ovarian cancer tissues and corresponding normal adjacent tissues, and the relationship between NRSN2-AS1 expression and clinical data of patients was analyzed. Human ovarian epithelial cells HOSEpiC and human ovarian cancer cells A2780 and OVCAR3 were cultured in vitro, and overexpression or interference of NRSN2-AS1 and control plasmids were respectively transfected into A2780 and OVCAR3 cells as the blank group, overexpression group and control group, interference group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation, while transwell invasion and migration assay were used to detect the change of cell metastasis ability, RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the expressions of SRY related HMG box transcription factor 12 (SOX12), a potential downstream gene of NRSN2-AS1.Results:The expressions of NRSN2-AS1 in ovarian cancer tissues and cells were significantly higher than normal adjacent tissues, and the high expression of NRSN2-AS1 was significantly correlated with poor prognosis, lymph node metastasis and high clinical stage ( P<0.05). In the blank and overexpression group, the expressions of NRSN2-AS1 were 1.00±0.08 and 5.78±0.41, the expressions of SOX12 mRNA were 1.00±0.10 and 3.08±0.23, the expression of SOX12 protein were 1.00±0.08 and 7.26±0.39, the invasion cells per field were 22.7±4.9 and 79.0±6.2, and the migration cells per field were 26.5±4.1 and 43.5±4.5. In the control and interference group, the expression of NRSN2-AS1 were 1.00±0.11 and 0.37±0.04, the expressions of SOX12 mRNA were 1.00±0.07 and 0.59±0.05, the expression of SOX12 protein were 1.00±0.07 and 0.36±0.03, the invasion cells per field were 68.3±6.1 and 30.6±5.5, and the migration cells per field were 85.2±7.0 and 22.7±4.2. Compared with the blank group, the expression of SOX12 mRNA and protein in the overexpression group was significantly increased ( P<0.05), and the cell proliferation and metastasis ability were significantly enhanced ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the expression of SOX12 mRNA and protein in the interference group was significantly decreased, and the ability of cell proliferation and metastasis was suppressed significantly ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The expression of NRSN2-AS1 is up-regulated in ovarian cancer, which is closely related to poor prognosis and progression of ovarian cancer. NRSN2-AS1 can promote the expression of SOX12 and the malignant behavior of ovarian cancer cells in vitro.

Objectives:To investigate the epidemiological features and associated factors of chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) in Binhai county from Jiangsu province.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study including individuals aged≥18 years old and participating in health examinations of Binhai county from January to December 2018. Medical records were collected to analyze the epidemiology of CRI [estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1]. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the associated influencing factors of CRI. Results:A total of 395 541 individuals residing in Binhai county were enrolled, with 190 258 males (48.1%) and age of (55.34±15.12) years old. The overall crude prevalence of CRI was 2.04% (8 065/395 541, 95% CI 2.00%-2.08%) in this adult population. Furthermore, the age- and gender-standardized overall prevalence of CRI was 1.22% (95% CI 1.18%-1.25%), with a rate of 1.47% (4 676/205 283, 95% CI 1.42%-1.52%) in women and a rate 0.95% (3 389/190 258, 95% CI 0.91%-1.00%) in men. There was a strong positive correlation between the risk of CRI and age (per 10-year increase, OR=2.449, 95% CI 2.402-2.497). Compared with individuals <30 years old, the OR of CRI in individuals aged 60-69, 70-79 and ≥80 years old were 3.827 (95% CI 3.010-4.864), 12.004 (95% CI 9.457-15.239) and 44.636 (95% CI 35.187-56.622) respectively. Females ( OR=1.142, 95% CI 1.083-1.203), increasing systolic blood pressure (per 10 mmHg increase, OR=1.062, 95% CI 1.048-1.076), increasing heart rate (per 10-beat/min increase, OR=1.071, 95% CI 1.044-1.098), elevating triglyceride (per 1.33 mmol/L increase, OR=1.140, 95% CI 1.119-1.162), elevating fasting blood glucose (5.6-6.9 mmol/L/<5.6 mmol/L, OR=1.158, 95% CI 1.086-1.233; ≥7 mmol/L/<5.6 mmol/L, OR=1.387, 95% CI 1.296-1.484) and central obesity ( OR=1.126, 95% CI 1.068-1.187) were independent risk factors for CRI. Conclusions:The age- and gender-adjusted prevalence of CRI in adults in Binhai county is 1.22%. Older age, females, central obesity, and high levels of triglyceride, systolic blood pressure, heart rate and fasting glucose are independent associated factors of CRI.
