Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(4):498-501
Objective:
To identify research priorities on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a theoretical base for improving their physical and mental health.
Methods:
In May 2025, 77 experts in the fields of health and education from 11 cities in Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling method to participate in the first round of expert consultation. In June, 2025, snowball sampling was used to expand to 194 experts for the second round of consultation, and it was convenient to select 21 students from primary schools to high schools in Zhejiang Province and 29 parents to empower the evaluation criteria. It applied the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method in a structured process, which encompassed the definition of the research field, generation of research ideas, scoring, and quantitative ranking of priorities. Research ideas were evaluated against 6 predefined criteria: effectiveness, safety, answerability, feasibility, sustainability, and scientific significance.
Results:
After 2 rounds of structured consultations, 81 research ideas on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents were established and classified into 7 subthemes: epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors, optimization of primary service systems and policies, comprehensive intervention strategies for physical and mental comorbidity, biological mechanisms and clinical research, the impact of education and environment on physical and mental health, special populations and social support, and digital and technology driven disease prevention and intervention. The top 10 research priorities primarily centered on the subdomain of "epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors" (5 items). The top 3 research priorities were "the association between outdoor activity duration and the incidence of common diseases (including mental disorders) among children and adolescents" "the impact of outdoor activity duration on the physical and mental health of adolescents" "comprehensive intervention strategies for myopia, obesity, and their comorbidities among children and adolescents".
Conclusion
The framework of priority issues in the field of psychosomatic comorbidity of children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province based on CHNRI method provides a reference for optimizing the allocation of provincial research resources.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of resistance combined with aerobic chrono-exercise on the common carotid artery elasticity and hemodynamics. 24 healthy young men (21.96±0.43 years old) underwent a single acute resistance combined with aerobic exercise intervention at eight time periods (6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 o'clock). The axial flow velocity and diameter waveforms of the common carotid artery were measured, and the hemodynamics were calculated using the classical hemodynamic theory before exercise, immediately after exercise, 10 min and 20 min after exercise. The results showed that during exercise recovery, systolic and mean pressures decreased more markedly after exercise at 8 o'clock (P < 0.05); At 20 min post-exercise, arterial stiffness index and pressure-strain elastic modulus after exercise at 6 o'clock were reduced compared with the resting state, but were significantly elevated after exercise at 20 o'clock (P < 0.05). Immediately after exercise, the pressure rise was higher after exercise at 6 o'clock and the mean wall shear stress was higher after exercise at 20 o'clock (P < 0.05). These results suggest that resistance combined with aerobic chrono-exercise produces different effects on common carotid artery hemodynamics in young men. A single acute session of resistance combined with aerobic exercise at 8 o'clock is more effective in lowering blood pressure. Exercise at 6 o'clock is beneficial to improve arterial elasticity but is not recommended for young male individuals with cardiovascular disease risks because of the excessive increase in blood pressure immediately after exercise. Exercise at 20 o'clock is more effective in improving wall shear stress but is accompanied by elevated arterial stiffness indices and pressure-strain elastic modulus. These results provide a scientific basis for healthy young men in choosing the time of exercise by exploring the common carotid artery elasticity and hemodynamic-related indices.

Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2025;52(7):1817-1832
Modified electro-convulsive therapy (MECT) is one of the most potent treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, it remains a second-line option due to significant side effects, such as transient memory loss. The relationship between therapeutic efficacy and cognitive impairment warrants further investigation to develop improved treatment regimens. In this review, we examine recent evidence from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies aiming to identify structural and functional brain changes specifically associated with both the antidepressant effects and the amnesic outcomes of MECT. MECT induces widespread alterations across multiple brain systems. Increases in gray matter volume (GMV) have been observed in the prefrontal, temporal, and parietal cortices, as well as in subcortical regions such as the hippocampus (HP), amygdala, and striatum. Strengthening of myelination has also been reported along the dorsolateral prefrontal-limbic pathways. Functional changes include increased spontaneous neural activity in prefrontal areas, reorganization of intrinsic connectivity within the default mode network (DMN), and altered functional connectivity (FC) among the DMN, salience network (SN), and central executive network (CEN). Correlational studies have identified structural and functional alterations linked to antidepressant efficacy, including right hippocampal volume enlargement, prefrontal cortical thickening, reduced iron deposition in the striatum, decreased FC within certain DMN nodes, and enhanced effective connectivity from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to the right angular gyrus. In contrast, the amnesic effects have been associated with increased volumes in the left hippocampus and bilateral dentate gyrus; enhanced FC in the left angular gyrus and left posterior cingulate cortex (PCC); increased FC between the right ventral anterior insula and DLPFC; and reduced FC in the left thalamus and bilateral precuneus. Changes in the hippocampus appear to correlate with both antidepressant efficacy and memory impairment. Clinical studies have found no significant correlation between the severity of memory impairment and the reduction in depressive symptoms, suggesting that the therapeutic and adverse effects may arise from distinct regional or subregional mechanisms. Supporting this hypothesis, recent findings show that increased right hippocampal volume is significantly associated with reduced depression scores, whereas increased volume in the left dentate gyrus correlates with declines in delayed recall performance. Additionally, enhanced connectivity between the anterior hippocampus and middle occipital gyrus (MOG) has been linked to mood improvement, while decreased FC between the mid-hippocampus and angular gyrus has been associated with impairments in memory integration. In conclusion, current evidence suggests that the antidepressant and memory-impairing effects of MECT may localize to distinct hippocampal subregions. These effects likely result from differential modulation of local neural activity and functional connectivity, leading to divergent behavioral outcomes. Given that both effects may originate in deep and spatially constrained structures such as the hippocampus, small-sample studies and conventional methodologies may fail to differentiate them effectively. Future research should employ large-scale, longitudinal designs utilizing high-field MRI and multimodal neuroimaging to characterize MECT-induced structure-function coupling in the hippocampus and its integration at the network level. Additionally, multiscale analyses spanning molecular, circuit, and network dimensions would be beneficial.

To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among middle-aged and elderly people in Xihu District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into prevention and intervention of MCI among middle-aged and elderly people.
Methods:
People aged 55 years and above were sampled from Xihu District using the multi-stage random sampling method, and demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, and chronic disease were collected through questionnaire surveys. The prevalence of MCI was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and influencing factors for MCI were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 440 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.78%. There were 190 males (43.18%) and 250 females (56.82%). There were 179 respondents at ages of 55 to <65 years, accounting for 40.68%. The prevalence of MCI was 18.64%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of MCI was higher among the middle-aged and elderly people who were aged 65 to 95 years (55 to <65 years as the reference, 65 to <75 years, OR=4.156, 95%CI: 1.284-13.201; 75 to 95 years, OR=5.013, 95%CI: 1.752-14.126), were smokers (OR=4.768, 95%CI: 1.560-14.580), had higher daily cooking oil intake (OR=2.128, 95%CI: 1.062-4.199), had diabetes (OR=4.137, 95%CI: 1.144-4.958) and had hypertension (OR=8.093, 95%CI: 1.697-38.593); while the risk of MCI was lower among the middle-aged and elderly people who were engaged in mental labor (OR=0.074, 95%CI: 0.007-0.756) and had a monthly household income per capita of 4 000 yuan and above (4 000 to <8 000 yuan, OR=0.071, 95%CI: 0.014-0.358; 8 000 yuan and above, OR=0.009, 95%CI: 0.001-0.136).
Conclusion
MCI among middle-aged and elderly people in Xihu District is affected by age, occupation, monthly household income per capita, smoking, daily cooking oil intake, diabetes and hypertension.

A young male patient was diagnosed with aplastic anemia accompanied by paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria(PNH),and achieved only partial remission after immunosuppressive therapy.Over the past year,his anemia worsened,leading to transfusion dependence,which was considered to be caused by active he-molysis of PNH.Despite switching to eculizumab treatment,his anemia continued to deteriorate.A detailed medical history revealed chronic periodontal infection,with periodontal pain,purulent discharge,and fever in the past month.Multidisciplinary discussion suggested that chronic odontogenic infection activating the comple-ment system was the primary cause of aggravated PNH hemolysis,and the acute infection affected the efficacy of eculizumab.Based on multidisciplinary consultation,a treatment plan was formulated,including intravenous antibiotics combined with periodontal irrigation and tooth extraction to control odontogenic infection,while con-tinuing regular eculizumab infusion.The patient's symptoms improved,hemoglobin levels rose rapidly,and he was no longer transfusion-dependent.This case provides an empirical reference for addressing difficulties en-countered in the treatment of rare diseases with new drugs through multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of health needs and healthcare workforce demands among potential service users in community health service institurions (CHSIs) and establish a comprehensive health needs profile for targeted service development.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire survey (55 items for adults and 39 items for minors) was conducted among 564 residents aged 3-65 in Dapuqiao Subdistrict, Shanghai from March to May 2024. A health sketch model was developed, encompassing five dimensions (intake, basal metabolism, consumption, influencing factors, and somatosensory perception). Health issues were mapped to standardized healthcare services, and annual standardized workloads (SW) were calculated to quantify human resource demands. Results:Among 534 valid responses (94.68% response rate), 355 from the adults and 179 from minors, the top health issues for adults were irregular diet, nutritional imbalance, obesity, somatic fatigue, and disordered eating; for minors, they were nutritional imbalance, medication overuse, insufficient physical activity, picky eating, and anorexia. The total annual SW required to address these needs was 3 906 807.93. Among them, the total SW for each age group was as follows: the total annual SW demand for children aged between 3 and 5 years old was 24 108.90, for children aged between 6 and 11 years old was 141 355.70, for adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years old was 29 813.74, 223 475.50 for 18-24 year olds, 476 426.53 for 25-34 year olds, 1 221 105.84 for 35-44 year olds, 812 200.22 for 45-54 year olds; and 978 321.50 for 55-65 year olds. Workforce allocation analysis revealed a total demand for 139.84 standardized personnel, with rehabilitation therapists (38.16), general practitioners (35.69), and nurses (27.34) being the top three required roles.Conclusions:Health needs and workforce demands vary significantly across age groups. This study provides a data-driven framework for optimizing community health services through stratified health needs profiling and precision resource allocation. Future strategies should prioritize tailored interventions and workforce planning to bridge service gaps and enhance health outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the descrepancy between current supply and demand based on standardiized workload for rational human resource allocation in community health service centers.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center of Shanghai Huangpu District from January 1st to December 3lst 2023. The current status of demand and supply were analyzed using the 2023 data of the institution. The standardised workload was measured according to the potential basic medical and public health service needs based on the disease profile and population groups in the community. The discrepancy between the current supply and theoretical demand was analyzed.Results:A total of 36 634 patients paid 277 262 visits in outpatient clinics of Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center in 2023. There are total 161 employees in the center, 124 of whom are female (77.02%). The actual calibrated workload of basic medical care and public health service in the center calculated on fee-based medical service items in 2023 was 2 888 425.61 and 455 898.35, respectively; while the theoretically calibrated workload was 5 416 492.42 and 711 230.94, respectively. The center employed 131 medical and health workers currently, calibrated as 90.67 employees based on current demand, while it should be 183.74 calibrated on the theoretical demand, there was a certain discrepancy between the current staffing and the standard staffing based on the standardized workload calculation.Conclusion:At present, the actual standardized workload of basic medical and public health services in Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center still has room for improvement, but there is a certain gap between the current human resource allocation and the demand.

Objective:To understand the composition of infectious pathogens and the changes in the epidemic characteristics of inpatients with acute respiratory tract infections in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, from 2018 to 2023.Methods:Specimens of inpatients with acute respiratory infection cases were collected from 14 healthcare institutions in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, from 2018-2023 and tested for eight respiratory pathogens: influenza virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, common coronavirus, metapneumovirus, and bocavirus. The groups were divided into three periods,2018-2019, 2020-2022 and 2023, and the chi-square or Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used to compare the group differences. The SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among the 3 023 inpatients with acute respiratory infection, the positive rate of any virus was 24.25% (733/3 023). The positive rates of any virus in 2018-2019, 2020-2022, and 2023 were 33.40% (336/1 006), 12.01% (116/966), and 26.74% (281/1 051), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=128.20, P<0.001). Among the age groups, in 2018-2019 and 2020-2022, the positive rate of any virus was the highest in the <5 years age group (46.20% and 14.64%), while in 2023, the 15-59 years age group had the highest positive rate (32.97%). The positive rate of any virus in winter was the highest in 2018-2019 (53.21%) and 2020-2022 (17.58%), and the highest in autumn was in 2023 (31.53%). The peak positive rate of respiratory syncytial virus was in winter of 2018-2019 and 2020-2022, as well as the summer of 2023.The positive rates of influenza virus in 2018-2019, 2020-2022 and 2023 were 9.84%, 1.55% and 9.71%, respectively. Conclusions:The pathogen epidemic characteristics of inpatients with acute respiratory infection in Pudong New Area from 2018 to 2023 have shown certain changes. It is necessary to strengthen monitoring. Targeted prevention and control strategies should be developed and implemented in a timely manner.
