Objective:
To analyze the associations of physical activity with overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide reference for optimizing physical activity intervention strategies and promoting healthy lifestyles.
Methods:
From March to November 2023, a cross sectional survey was conducted among 90 457 junior and senior high school students aged 11-18 years in Zhejiang Province using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Data on physical activity and dietary behavior were collected through questionnaires, height and weight were measured. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The Chi-square test was used to examine differences, and Logistic regression was applied to evaluate the associations of physical activity characteristics with overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence. Additionally, the effectiveness of physical activity performed on rest days versus work days was examined.
Results:
The prevalence of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence among junior and senior high school students were 25.1%, 27.9%, and 6.7%, respectively, with significant sex differences ( χ 2=2 005.3, 587.7, 99.6, all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that students with insufficient physical activity had a higher risk of overweight/obesity compared with those with sufficient physical activity ( OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.06-1.17, P <0.01). Comparing to students who exercised 0-1 day per week, those who exercised 5-7 days per week were associated with a reduced risk of overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms ( OR=0.93, 95%CI =0.90-0.97; OR=0.95, 95%CI =0.91-0.99, both P <0.05). When total activity volume and frequency were held constant, students with sufficient rest day physical activity had lower risks of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence than those with insufficient rest day activity (all P < 0.01).
Conclusions
Sufficient amount of physical activity and higher frequency of rest day physical activity are significantly associated with lower risks of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence in adolescents. Physical activity performed on rest days may confer greater health benefits than activity performed on work days.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Bushen huoxue formula in improving pregnancy outcomes in mice with antiphospholipid antibody-related recurrent spontaneous abortion (aPL-RSA). METHODS SPF female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal control group, adjuvant control group, model group, and Bushen huoxue formula group. The aPL-RSA mouse model was established by immunization with β 2 glycoproteinⅠcombined with Freund’s adjuvant. From gestational day 0, the Bushen huoxue formula group was administered 1.653 6 g/(kg·d) of the prescription by gavage, while the other three groups received an equal volume of normal saline, twice daily for 15 consecutive days. The uterine appearance of pregnant mice was observed; individual embryo weight was recorded, and the embryo resorption rate was calculated. The proportion of activated CD41 + CD62p + platelets in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was detected. Serum levels of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and platelet factor 4 (PF4) were measured. Morphological changes of placental tissue were observed. The cell apoptosis rate of placental tissue was detected. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) content, tot al superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity, the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, the protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), MMP-9, nuclear proliferation antigen-67 (Ki67), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), and caspase-1, as well as the mRNA expressions of superoxide dismutase 2(SOD2), NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 of placental tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the normal control group and adjuvant control group, the model group showed significant decreases in individual embryo weight, T-SOD activity of placental tissue, and relative expression levels of SOD2 mRNA and protein ( P <0.05); while significant increases were observed in embryo resorption rate, proportion of activated CD41 + CD62p + platelets in PRP, serum levels of TXB2 and PF4, placental cell apoptosis rate, MDA content in placental tissue, relative protein expressions of MMP-3, MMP-9 and Ki67, relative protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 as well as IL-1β and IL-18 levels ( P <0.05). The model group also exhibited irregular uterine morphology with localized atrophy in some uterine horns; placental tissue showed fragmentation of decidual cells, extensive vacuolization and necrosis of trophoblast cells in the labyrinthine zone, accompanied by vascular reduction. After intervention with Bushen huoxue formula, the above indicators were significantly reversed ( P <0.05), and uterine morphology and pathological damage were markedly improved. CONCLUSIONS Bushen huoxue formula can effectively improve pregnancy outcomes in aPL-RSA model mice, and its mechanism may be closely related to inhibiting platelet activation, reducing oxidative stress injury, enhancing trophoblast cell function, and suppressing the inflammatory response mediated by the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene with susceptibility to psoriasis.
METHODS:
Two hundred and ten psoriasis patients admitted to Xinxiang Central Hospital from January 2019 to December 2024 were selected as the study group, and 210 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. 3 mL of peripheral venous blood sample was collected from each individual from the two groups, and PCR-Restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay was used to determine the polymorphisms of the IL-23R gene at rs2201841, rs1004819, rs10889677, rs1343151 and rs1495965 loci. Genotypic and allelic distribution of each SNP locus was calculated to assess the association between SNPs of the IL-23R gene with the onset of psoriasis, and the difference in serum IL-23 levels among patients with different genotypes at each locus was compared. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Xinxiang Central Hospital (Ethic No. 2024-749).
RESULTS:
The results showed that the frequency of CC genotype at rs1004819 locus of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (26.19% vs. 18.10%, P < 0.05), and the frequency of C allele was also significantly higher than that of the control group (54.05% vs. 42.62%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in allelic and genotypic frequencies between the two groups at rs2201841, rs10889677, rs1343151, and rs1495965 loci (P > 0.05). The dominant and recessive inheritance patterns at the rs1004819 locus are associated with susceptibility to psoriasis (P < 0.05), while the different inheritance patterns at rs2201841, rs10889677, rs1343151, and rs1495965 loci are not associated with psoriasis (P > 0.05). The serum IL-23 levels of patients with CC genotype at the rs1004819 locus were higher than those with the CT and TT genotypes (P < 0.05). No significant difference was detected in the serum levels of IL-23 between patients with different genotypes for the rs2201841, rs10889677, rs1343151, and rs1495965 loci (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The polymorphism at the rs1004819 locus of the IL-23R gene is associated with susceptibility to psoriasis, and individuals carrying the CC genotype and C allele have a higher risk of developing the disease.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of a child with intellectual development disorder and seizures due to a variant of AP2M1 gene.
METHODS:
Clinical data of a child with intellectual development disorder and epilepsy who was admitted to the Department of Pediatric Neurology of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Peripheral blood samples of the child and his parents were collected for whole exome sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing and pathogenicity analysis. The three-dimensional structure of the AP2M1 protein was visualized using Chimera v1.10.1 software. Pathogenicity of candidate variant was classified according to the Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG). With "AP2M1 gene" "epilepsy" "intellectual disability" as the keywords, relevant cases were searched from CNKI, Wanfang Data knowledge service platform and PubMed databases with the search time spanning from the establishment of the database to September 2024. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (Ethics No.: 2020-57).
RESULTS:
The child was a 8-years-and-6-months-old boy, who could raise his head at 3 months and sit alone at 8 months old. He could not walk alone at 1 year old and underwent 2 months' rehabilitation treatment, and could walk alone and call his parents at 1-and-a-half-years-old. At 4-years-and-10-months-old, he started to have frequent seizures, manifesting as low level of consciousness, body shaking, accompanied by blinking, lasting about a few seconds several times a day and could be relieved. With the treatment of sodium valproate combined with lamotrigine, the convulsions were controlled, but his movement and cognition were lagged behind. DNA sequencing revealed that he has harbored a novel variant of the AP2M1 gene (NM_004068.3) c.508C>T (p.Arg170Trp). Sanger sequencing confirmed that both of his parents were of the wild-type. According to the guidelines from the American College for Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was rated as pathogenic (PS2+PS4+PM1+PM2+PP2+PP3). The difference between the wild-type and mutant AP2M1 proteins can be clearly viewed through its three-dimensional structure. Two previous reports have included 5 cases due to the same variant. Common manifestations have included seizures (100%, 5/5), motor retardation (100%, 5/5), intellectual impairment (100%, 5/5), autism spectrum disorder (60%, 3/5), ataxia (100%, 5/5), and special facial features (20%, 1/5).
CONCLUSION
The c.508C>T (p.Arg170Trp) variant of the AP2M1 gene may underlie the intellectual retardation and seizure in this child.

Objective:To analyze the changing trends and international differences in the incidence and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) in China from 1990 to 2021 based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database.Methods:The data were derived from the GBD database, covering the incidence and DALY data of HDP in countries or regions around the world. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the differences in disease burden between China and different regions of Europe, America and other developed countries, and to analyze the disease burden characteristics of women of childbearing age in different age groups (every 5 years). The Joinpoint regression model was used to identify trend change points. The age-period-cohort model was used to analyze the independent effects of age, period and birth cohort.Results:(1) From 1990 to 2021, the incidence of HDP in China showed an overall downward trend, from 387.18/100 000 in 1990 to 216.35/100 000 in 2021. Compared with the global incidence rate (1990: 1 167.28/100 000; 2021: 923.48/100 000), the incidence rate of HDP in China was relatively low, but it was still higher than that in some developed countries. (2) The analysis of the Joinpoint regression model showed that the incidence rate of HDP in different age groups first decreased, then increased, and finally leveled off. The connection point with the lowest point was in 2005. DALY showed a continuous downward trend in all age groups. Among them, the decline in maternal DALY of pregnant women in all age groups from 15 to 39 years old was more obvious. (3) The age-period-cohort effect model showed that the incidence rate and DALY of HDP in women of childbearing age aged 20 to 24 years reached their peak.Conclusions:The burden of HDP in China continues to decrease, and the disease prevention and control has achieved remarkable results, but the incidence rate is still higher than that in some developed countries. It is suggested that personalized interventions should be developed for different risk groups to further reduce the burden of disease.

Objective Auditory brainstem response(ABR)is an objective electrophysiological test that evalu-ates a patient's hearing,and the ABR is interpreted primarily by recognizing the latency of waves Ⅰ through Ⅴ.The latency of wave Ⅰ to wave Ⅴ has important reference value for clinicians to judge the status of patients' auditory neu-ral pathways,so accurate interpretation of the results of this examination is particularly important.However,the a-nalysis of the result of the ABR entirely depends on the auditory teacher's ability to recognize and interpret the hu-man eye,which makes it difficult for inexperienced auditory teachers to interpret ABR waveforms.In order to solve this problem,many scholars proposed to use machine learning(ML)model to objectively interpret ABR results.ML has strong learning ability and can independently complete an objective and accurate interpretation of ABR re-sults,which brings the dawn for the objective and accurate interpretation of ABR results.
