There are practical and cost-effective opportunities for the prevention and early intervention of periodontal disease, a common oral condition. Depression and anxiety represent major global mental health challenges, and they are characterized by high prevalence rates and an elevated suicide risk. Their clinical management is complicated by extended treatment timelines and substantial healthcare costs. Accumulating evidence demonstrates a statistically significant bidirectional association between periodontal disease and depression/anxiety disorders. However, established clinical pathways integrating these conditions remain lacking. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of current research examining the relationship between periodontal disease and mood disorders, specifically depression and anxiety. This study explored the bidirectional mechanisms within the microbiota-oral-brain axis, which includes both periodontal disease inducing neuroinflammation through pro-inflammatory factors, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) activating the TLR-4/NF-κB signaling pathway, and depression and anxiety leading to “glucocorticoid resistance” through hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, thus causing dual immune dysfunction that exacerbates periodontal tissue destruction, as well as the mechanisms by which biological, psychological, and social factors contribute to the bidirectional association between periodontal disease and depression/anxiety. We propose implementing bidirectional referral protocols between dental and psychiatric services in clinical practice, incorporating mental health screening tools, such as Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7(GAD-7), for patients with moderate-to-severe periodontal disease, and incorporating periodontal examination into routine assessment during psychiatric services. This multidisciplinary approach aims to break the vicious circle between these conditions and provide clinicians with pragmatic intervention strategies.

Objective: To explore the association between nap duration with anxiety and depressive symptoms among junior high school students, in order to provide evidence for mental health interventions for adolescents. Methods: From May to June 2022, a combination of convenience sampling and cluster sampling was used to select 2 491 students from 2 junior high schools in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City for questionnaire survey and physical examination. The questionnaire collected nap duration, night time sleep duration, bedtime, physical activity, and sedentary behavior. Anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), respectively. Log-binomial regression model was used to analyze the association of nap duration with anxiety and depressive symptoms, as well as comorbidity among junior high school students, and a restricted cubic spline (RCS) Log-binomial regression model was employed to analyze the non linear relationship after adjusting for covariates. Results: The detection rates of anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms and comorbidity among junior high school students were 13.29%,14.65%,9.19%. After adjusting for covariates such as age, gender and nighttime sleep duration, compared with a school day nap duration of <30 min/d, a nap duration of 30-<60 min/d was associated with a reduced risk of anxiety symptoms ( APR =0.68, 95% CI =0.49-0.98) and comorbidity ( APR =0.56, 95% CI =0.39-0.87)(both P < 0.05 ). Compared with no napping on weekends, a nap duration of 30-<60 min/d was associated with a reduced risk of anxiety symptoms ( APR =0.62, 95% CI =0.41-0.88), depressive symptoms ( APR =0.52, 95% CI =0.34-0.75) and comorbidity ( APR = 0.52 , 95% CI =0.30-0.83)(all P <0.05). RCS curves showed a nonlinear relationship between weekend nap duration and the prevalence of anxiety, depressive symptoms and comorbidity among junior high school students(all P non linear <0.05); weekend nap duration of <120 min was associated with a lower risk of anxiety and depressive symptoms, and weekend nap duration of >180 min was associated with an increased risk. Conclusions Appropriate nap duration can help reduce the risk of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and the comorbidity among junior high school students. Adolescents should be guided to reasonably arrange nap duration for promoting physical and mental health.

Objective: To explore the associations of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) among primary and secondary school students and their parents, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted physical activity promotion strategies for children and adolescents. Methods: From 2021 to 2022, basic information and 24 h movement behaviors of 2 484 pairs of students and their parents were collected from five primary and secondary schools in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, with a convenient sampling combining with cluster sampling method. Component regression models were constructed to analyze the relationship between parental MVPA, SB and primary and secondary school students MVPA and SB, and a component isochronous substitution model was used to explore the effects of mutual substitution between parental MVPA, residual components (time use components other than SB during the 24 h period), and SB on the behavioral activities of MVPA and SB in primary and secondary school students. Results: Parental MVPA and SB of students in grade 1 to 3 were positively correlated with both students MVPA and SB ( β=0.06, 0.12, P <0.01). The component isochronous substitution model showed that substituting 10 and 20 minutes of MVPA for SB by parents in grade 1 to 3 was associated with an increase in MVPA of students, and substituting 10 and 20 minutes of residual ingredients for SB was associated with a decrease in SB of students, with mean changes of 0.8 (95% CI =0.4-1.2) and 1.4 (95% CI =0.7-2.2) and -1.4 (95% CI =-1.7 to -1.1) and -2.9 (95% CI =-3.4 to -2.3)( P <0.05). No statistically significant associations were observed between parents of students in grades 4 to 6 and 7 to 9 and students physical activity and sedentary behaviour ( P >0.05). Conclusions Parents of students in grades 1 to 3 increases MVPA and decrease SB are beneficial to increase MVPA and decrease SB of students. Parents could promote physical activity among primary and secondary school students, and the intervention gateway should be advanced, with the low grades as the optimal intervention period.

This study identified six novel azaphilones, isochromophilones G-L (1-6), and three novel biosynthetically related congeners (7-9) from Diaporthe sp. SCSIO 41011. The structures and absolute configurations were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses combined with experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Significantly, three highly oxygenated azaphilones contain an acetyl group at the terminal chain (4) or linear conjugated polyenoid moieties (5 and 6), which occur infrequently in the azaphilone family. Additionally, several compounds demonstrated inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation in RAW 264.7 macrophages at 20 μmol·L^-1. The novel compound (1) effectively inhibited receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation without exhibiting cytotoxicity in bone marrow and RAW 264.7 macrophages, indicating its potential as a promising lead compound for osteolytic disease treatment. This research presents the first documented evidence of azaphilone derivatives as inhibitors of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Objective: To explore the association between physical activity, anxiety symptoms and academic performance among junior high school students, so as to provide data support for optimizing school physical education and health work and formulating physical activity guidelines. Methods: From September to December 2022, a convenience cluster sampling method was used to survey 2 800 junior high school students in a middle school from Anqing City, Anhui Province. Data were collected on the students anxiety symptoms, academic performance, 24 hour physical activity [moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity(MVPA), light intensity physical activity(LPA), sedentary behavior(SB), and sleep(SLP) duration] as well as demographic characteristics. Compositional data analysis was used to explore the associations between 24 hour physical activity, anxiety symptoms and academic performance among junior high school students, and to predict the optimal time use combination pattern. Results: Among the junior high school students, 16.0% (447 students) reported anxiety symptoms, and 42.0% (1 175 students) achieved excellent or good academic performance. Compositional data analysis showed that increased SLP duration was associated with both reduced anxiety symptoms ( β =-0.18) and decreased academic performance ( β =-0.03) among junior high school students; increased MVPA duration was correlated with fewer anxiety symptoms ( β =-0.02) and lower academic performance ( β =-0.13); in contrast, increased SB duration was linked to more anxiety symptoms ( β =0.09) and higher academic performance ( β =0.09) (all P <0.01). LPA duration exhibited a non linear relationship with anxiety symptoms and academic performance in junior high school students (all P >0.05). The time use combination pattern corresponding to the lowest anxiety symptoms and highest academic performance (top 5%) in adolescents was 611 (520-640) minutes of SLP, 258 (230-320) minutes of SB, 454 (280-610) minutes of LPA, and 117 (20-200) minutes of MVPA per day. Conclusions The 24 hour physical activity of junior high school students is associated with anxiety symptoms and academic performance. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the time spent on SB, MVPA, and LPA for junior high school students, while reducing SB.

Objective:To analyze the changes in the prevalence characteristics of multimorbidity among adolescents aged 13-18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2019 to 2022 and to explore the association between multimorbidity and moderate to high-intensity physical activity among them.Methods:A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select students aged 13-18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region every September from 2019 to 2022. Physical examinations, demographic characteristics, and depression-related surveys were conducted to analyze the multimorbidity of overweight, obesity, high blood pressure, myopia, spinal curvature abnormality, and depression. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between multimorbidity and moderate to high-intensity physical activity.Results:From 2019 to 2022, 70 972, 62 923, 80 254, and 78 288 study subjects were included, with the rates of multimorbidity being 56.4%, 55.4%, 57.2%, and 55.8%, respectively. The rates of multimorbidity remained relatively stable from 2019 to 2022 ( χ2=0.06, P=0.950). The incidence of multimorbidity among girls was significantly higher than that among boys ( P<0.001). The incidence of multimorbidity among urban students was significantly higher than that among suburban students ( P<0.001). The incidence of multimorbidity among high school students was higher than that among middle school students ( P<0.001). The top three multimorbidity combinations were myopia and overweight/obesity (26.4%), myopia and high blood pressure (24.4%), and myopia and depression (19.8%), while the least common combination was depression and spinal curvature abnormality (1.1%). The multimorbidity patterns showed no significant differences between years ( χ2=0.03, P=0.999). The multimorbidity status was significantly associated with the status of meeting the standard of moderate to high-intensity physical activity ( OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.80-0.86). The association was stronger in boys ( OR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.73-0.81) compared with girls ( OR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.85-0.96), with a significant interaction term ( P<0.001). Conclusion:From 2019 to 2022, the incidence of multimorbidity among adolescents aged 13 to 18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is relatively high, mainly due to the co-occurrence of myopia and other health problems. Adequate physical activity is an important factor in reducing multimorbidity.

Objective:To examine the near-complete genomic analysis of norovirus (NoV) subtype GⅡ.17 [P17] outbreaks in Beijing Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024.Methods:Data and specimens related to outbreaks of the NoV aggregation in Beijing′s Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were collected. The NoV was identified using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Specimens with positive nucleic acid were amplified by standard PCR, whole genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis. Amino acid site variations were compared.Results:In Chaoyang District, from 2014 to 2024, a total of 637 aggregated outbreaks caused by the NoV infection were reported, of which 584 were successfully typed. The epidemic caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype accounted for 8.79% (56/637), which was the dominant epidemic gene subtype in 2014-2015, sporadic in 2016-2019, reappeared in 2022, and significantly increased in 2024 (27.27%, 24/88). Outbreaks caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype occurred mainly from October to December, with the main sites of occurrence in primary schools and kindergartens. This study yielded 53 near-complete genome sequences of the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype from 46 incidents in Chaoyang District. The GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype sequences of Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were segmented into three subgroups on the evolutionary tree, with sequences from 2014 to 2019, 2022 to April 2024, and May to December 2024 clustered into the d, e, and b subgroups, respectively. In the VP1 region′s P2 area, particularly at the HBGA binding site, subgroups b and e exhibited mutations in 22 and two sites, while subgroups b and e showed mutations in four and one sites, predominantly in the RdRp region.Conclusion:The outbreak caused by the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 continues, with a significant increase in 2024, and it becomes the dominant gene subtype from October to December. The sequence formation of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from January to April 2022 and from May to December 2024 shows two different evolutions, with specific mutation sites, requiring continuous monitoring of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype.

Objective: To investigate the association between 24 hour activity behavior and body composition among primary and secondary school students using compositional data analysis method, so as to provide scientific guidance for optimizing daily activity allocation and improving physical health. Methods: In June 2021, following the principle of random cluster sampling, 349 primary and middle school students were selected by lottery method from Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. Compositional multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between different 24 hour activity behaviors and body composition indicators. The isotemporal substitution model was adopted to examine the quantitative effects of substituting 10 or 20 minutes among activity behaviors on body composition. Results: In girls, sedentary behavior (SB) time was negatively correlated with fat free mass (FFM) ( β =-4.81); in boys, moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time was positively correlated with FFM ( β =7.01), while light physical activity (LPA) time was negatively correlated with FFM ( β =-9.26) and positively correlated with body fat percentage (FAT%) ( β =0.09) (all P <0.01). Isocaloric substitution analysis revealed that replacing the same duration of MVPA with SB, sleep (SL), or LPA for 10 or 20 minutes produced significantly greater adverse effects compared to the beneficial effects of MVPA substitution. Replacing MVPA with LPA for 10 minutes resulted in 1.01% increase in FAT% and 0.91% decrease in reverse substitution for boys; replacing MVPA with SB or SL for 10 minutes resulted in a decrease of 1.10 kg and 1.16 kg in FFM for boys, 0.81 kg and 0.74 kg for girls, and reverse substitution increased by 0.92 and 0.97 kg, 0.65 and 0.58 kg, respectively (all P < 0.05 ). When LPA, SB or SL were replaced with MVPA for 20 minutes, the trend of change were basically consistent (all P <0.05). Conclusions Activity behaviors of 24 hour are associated with body composition among primary and secondary school students. MVPA is the primary influential component.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of adverse reactions of Xuesaitong preparations, mine its coagulation disorders/bleeding risk signals, and provide references for its safe and rational use in clinic. Methods:The reports of adverse drug reactions (ADR) caused by Xuesaitong preparations from August 2003 to August 2023 in the database of Shandong Provincial Center of Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring were collected. ADR were counted and classified using the system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 26.1. Three methods, namely the reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), and the comprehensive standard method of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of the United Kingdom, were used to detect the risk signals of coagulation disorders/bleeding in using Xuesaitong preparations. Results:A total of 17 015 reports of ADR related to Xuesaitong preparations were collected, involving 9 dosage forms, in which injection dosage form accounted for 95.50% (16 250/17 015). The median age of the patients was 62 years, 44.87% of the cases were 45-64 years and 42.90% of them were 65 years and above. There were 2 217 cases of severe ADR reports, accounting for 13.03% (2 217/17 015). A total of 18 SOCs were involved, the top 3 were skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases, systemic diseases and drug administration site reactions, and neurological diseases. A total of 54 PTs were not recorded in the instructions, among which 34 were severe. Ninety-three cases about coagulation disorders/bleeding (98 times) were reported, the top 3 PTs were hematuria [24.49% (24/98)], purpura [11.22% (11/98)], and epistaxis [10.20% (10/98)]. Seven dosage forms of Xuesaitong preparations were involved, the top 3 were Xuesaitong for injection (freeze-dried) (48 cases, accounting for 51.61%), Xuesaitong injection (29 cases, accounting for 31.18%), and Xuesaitong tablets (8 cases, accounting for 8.60%). Among 93 reports of coagulation disorders/bleeding, there were 23 severe cases, accounting for 24.73%, which was significantly higher than that in other reports (12.97%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Sixteen PTs about coagulation disorders/bleeding were not recorded in the instructions, among which 9 were severe. The proportion of cases with onset time longer than 7 days in ADRs about coagulation disorders/bleeding was higher than that in other ADRs [22.58%(21/93) vs. 7.43%(1 258/16 922), P<0.001]. The risk signals of coagulation disorders/bleeding were mined for Xuesaitong for injection (freeze-dried), Xuesaitong injection, Xuesaitong tablets, and Xuesaitong capsules, and the risk signal density of Xuesaitong tablets was the strongest. Conclusions:The ADRs of Xuesaitong preparations involve multiple systems and organs. Among them, Xuesaitong for injection (freeze-dried), Xuesaitong injection, Xuesaitong tablets, and Xuesaitong capsules have a strong association with coagulation disorders/bleeding risks, and the proportion of severe cases is relatively high. However, the relevant risk warning information is not included in the drug instructions of some manufacturers. Medication monitoring needs to be strengthened and timely intervention should be carried out in clinic.

Objective:To investigate the effect of protein tyrosine phosphatase D(PTPRD)demethylation on the proliferation,migration,and chemoresistance of gastric cancer(GC)cells through the phosphatidyl inositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin(PI3K/Akt/mTOR)pathway.Methods:The gastric cancer MKN-74 and MKN-45 cells,as well as human gastric mucosal epithelial GES-1 cells,GES-1 were cultured in vitro and PTPRD expression was detected.MKN-45 cells and their drug-resistant variant MKN-45/5-FU cells were routinely cultured and transfected with various vectors:PTPRD empty vector(NC group,NC/5-FU group),PTPRD overexpressing adenovirus(PTPRD group,PTPRD/5-FU group),shRNA empty vector(sh-NC group,sh-NC/5-FU group),shRNA PTPRD lentivirus(sh-PTPRD group,sh-PTPRD/5-FU group),and PTPRD overexpressing adenovirus+10 μmol/L 740Y-P treatment(PTPRD+740Y-P group,PTPRD+740Y-P/5-FU group).MTT assay and wound healing assay were used to assess cell proliferation and migration.Cell autophagy levels were assessed using autophagy assay,and the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway related proteins was detected using western blot(WB).MKN-45 cells were treated with 0,2.5,5,10,20 and 40 μmol/L 5-aza solutions,and the PTPRD mRNA expression and cell proliferation in MKN-45 cells were detected using qPCR and MTT assays.Results:PTPRD mRNA and protein were significantly downregulated in gastric cancer cells(P<0.05).Compared with the MKN-45 group,the numbers of autophagosomes and autophagosomes,as well as the protein expression of PTPRD,E-cadherin,and BAX significantly increased in the PTPRD group(all P<0.05),while cell proliferation,migration rate,and protein expression of p-PI3K,vimentin,p-Akt,and p-mTOR decreased significantly(all P<0.05);However,in the sh-PTPRD group,cell proliferation activity,migration rate,and protein expression of p-PI3K,vimentin,p-Akt,and p-mTOR increased notably,while the quantity of autophagosomes,autophagosomes,and protein expression of PTPRD,E-cadherin,and BAX decreased(all P<0.05).Compared with the PTPRD group,the PTPRD+740Y-P group showed an increase in cell proliferation activity,migration rate,protein expression of p-PI3K,vimentin,p-Akt,and p-mTOR(all P<0.05),and a decrease in number of autophagosomes,autophagosomes,and protein expression of PTPRD,E-cadherin,and BAX(all P<0.05).With the increase of 5-aza concentration,the mRNA expression of PTPRD in MKN-45 cells increased(P<0.05),while the cell proliferation activity decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the MKN-45/5-FU group,the cell migration rate and proliferation activity decreased in PTPRD/5-FU group,while the sh-PTPRD/5-FU group showed an increase in cell migration rate and proliferation activity(all P<0.05).Compared with the PTPRD/5-FU group,the PTPRD+740Y-P/5-FU group showed an increase in cell migration rate and proliferation activity(all P<0.05).Conclusion:PTPRD is downregulated in GC cells,and its demethylation may inhibit proliferation and migration of GC cells and enhance chemosensitivity by suppressing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
