Objective: To understand the prevalence and related factors of depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students in the in depth monitoring counties of China s Rural Compulsory Education Nutrition Improvement Program, so as to provide a basis for prevention and psychological intervention of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents in rural areas. Methods: In November 2022, a stratified random sampling method was adopted to collect height and weight data, basic personal and family information of 7 949 primary and secondary school students from grade three to grade nine through physical measurements and questionnaires in 56 key monitoring schools implementing the Student Nutrition Improvement Program in 7 in depth monitoring counties (Jalaid Banner in Inner Mongolia, Jinzhai County in Anhui, Mao Xian in Sichuan, Tiandeng County in Guangxi, Mian County in Shaanxi, Zhaozhou County in Heilongjiang and Youxi County in Fujian), and to obtain the information related to their depressive symptoms through the self assessment questionnaire on depression. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the prevalence of depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students, as well as their related factors. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students in the in depth monitored counties was 23.5%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of detecting depressive symptoms was higher among female students, middle school students, students whose video screen duration per day was >2 h, and students whose parents marital status was divorced or widowed ( OR =1.40, 1.64, 1.60, 1.24), and students whose sleep duration reached the recommended standard, whose parents usually accompanied them daily for time was 60-<120 min and ≥120 min, and students whose mothers literacy level was middle school graduation had lower probability of detecting depressive symptoms ( OR =0.85, 0.84, 0.71, 0.76) ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The detection rate of depressive symptoms among students in the in depth monitoring area is high, and targeted interventions need to be developed for students to reduce the risk of mental health problems.

Autoimmune hepatitis （AIH） is a chronic inflammatory liver disease. The pathogenesis of AIH remains unclear， but it is mainly autoimmune injury caused by the breakdown of autoimmune tolerance due to the abnormal activation of the immune system， while the specific molecular mechanism remains unknown. Recent studies have shown that abnormal amino acid metabolism plays an important role in the development and progression of AIH. This article reviews the research advances in amino acid metabolic reprogramming in AIH， in order to provide a theoretical basis for amino acid metabolism as a new target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AIH.

Objective: To analyze the association of eating dining locations and their association with nutritional status among Chinese children aged 6-17 years,so as to provide reference for guiding children s reasonable diet. Methods: Stratified random cluster sampling was used to select children aged 6 to 17 years from 28 cities and rural areas of 14 provinces in East, North, Central, South, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast of China, and a total of 52 535 children were included in the study from 2019 to 2021. Information including dining locations, demographic characteristics, dietary intakes and physical activity were collected through a questionnaire survey. Fasting body height and weight were measured in the morning. Unordered multiclass Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between dining locations and nutritional status in children. Results: Regarding children s dining locations, 66.3% ate breakfast at home,25.8% ate breakfast at school,7.9% ate breakfast outside (small dining tables, restaurants, stalls, etc.); 67.7% ate dinner at home,29.0% ate dinner at school,3.3% ate dinner outside; and 63.6% ate lunch at school,30.8% ate lunch at home,5.7% ate lunch outside. The prevalence rates of overweight/obesity and undernutrition were 28.6% and 9.3%, respectively. The adjusted multiclass Logistic regression analysis (controlling for age, region, parental education, household income, total energy intake, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity) demonstrated that, compared to eating at home, school based breakfast and dinner consumption was associated with significantly lower overweight/obesity risks for both genders (boys: breakfast OR =0.70, 95% CI =0.65-0.75; dinner OR =0.80, 95% CI = 0.74- 0.86; girls: breakfast OR = 0.89 , 95% CI = 0.82-0.96; dinner OR =0.88, 95% CI =0.81-0.95), whereas eating lunch away from home significantly increased overweight/obesity risks (boys: OR =1.32, 95% CI =1.17-1.48; girls: OR =1.43, 95% CI =1.26- 1.62 ), with all associations being statistically significant ( P <0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, boys who ate breakfast away from home showed a significantly reduced risk of undernutrition ( OR =0.80,95% CI =0.66-0.97), while those consuming lunch away from home had an increased risk ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.01-1.57) ( P <0.05). Conclusions The choice of dining locations for children is becoming more diverse, and a relatively high proportion of children eat meals outside the home and at school. Eating out have a higher risk of malnutrition for children. School feeding may be beneficial to children s physical health.

Objective: To analyze the features of unhealthy lifestyle patterns among primary and secondary school students in the nutrition improvement program for rural compulsory education students (NIPRCES) areas in China in 2021 and 2023, so as to provide data support for lifestyle promotion and healthy development among primary and secondary school students. Methods: Adopting a cluster random sampling method, data on primary and secondary students aged 7-15 years from nutrition and health surveillance of China NIPRCES in 2021 and 2023 were collected. The prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles among primary and secondary students such as physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, excessive screen time, and sleep deprivation by gender, school section, urban/rural, and region were analyzed. The reporting rates of the above indicators among primary and secondary students were compared by Chi-square test. Results: In 2021 and 2023, the rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity among primary and secondary school students were 79.2% and 80.4%, the rates of outdoor inactivity were 42.8% and 49.3%, the rates of excessive video time were 2.6% and 2.9%, the rates of sleep deprivation were 32.9% and 22.6%, and the differences were statistically significant( χ 2=51.86,1 071.48,18.36,3 296.99, P <0.05). In 2023, the rate of outdoor inactivity for primary and secondary students increased by 6.5 percentage points compared with 2021, and the rate of sleep deprivation decreased by 10.3 percentage points compared with that in 2021. In 2021 and 2023, the reporting rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, and sleep deprivation among girls and junior high school students were higher than those among boys ( χ 2=174.41,180.11; 175.75, 85.46 ;92.22,151.35) and elementary school students ( χ 2=136.64,5.75; 40.55,4.71;162.80,3 291.61); the reporting rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity( χ 2=194.43,118.60) and sleep deprivation ( χ 2=969.66,983.72) among urban students were higher than those among rural students; the reporting rates of excessive video time for boys and junior high school students were higher than those for girls ( χ 2=103.62,84.85) and elementary school students ( χ 2=810.09,626.51)( P <0.05). From a regional distribution perspective, the reporting rates of moderato to vigorous physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, and excessive video time among primary and seconday school students in the central and western regions were lower than those in the eastern region ( χ 2= 663.44,302.78; 356.97,82.10;50.89,81.83) ( P <0.05). Conclusions Unhealthy lifestyles remain prevalent among primary and secondary students in NIPRCES areas of China. These findings underscore the need to strengthen policy implementation for promoting healthy lifestyles among primary and secondary school students.

Objective: To understand the prevalence of elevated blood pressure and its association with dietary patterns in children and adolescents in China, providing evidence for developing dietary intervention of hypertension in children and adolescents. Methods: Data were derived from the China Children s Nutrition and Health System Survey and Application Project(2019-2021). A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to include 7 933 participants from 28 survey sites in seven major regions of Northeast, North, Northwest, East, Central, South and Southwest China. Multivariate Logistic regression models were used to analyze associations between demographic characteristics, nutritional status and elevated blood pressure. Exploratory factor analysis identified dietary patterns, which were divided into three quartile groups (T3, T2, T1) based on factor scores (compliance for dietary pattern) from high to low, and multivariate Logistic regression model assessed the correlation between elevated blood pressure and dietary patterns. Results: The prevalence of elevated blood pressure was 15.4% among Chinese children aged 7-17 years. Significant differences were observed across nutritional status (reference: underweight; normal weight: OR =1.57; overweight: OR = 2.61 ; obesity: OR =3.85), urban/rural residence (reference: rural; urban: OR =0.86), and paternal education (reference: junior high school and below; bachelor degree or above: OR =0.68) ( P <0.05). The detection rates of high blood pressure in T3 group children and adolescents with four dietary patterns (staple food, animal based food, snacks, vegetables and fruits) were 15.7%, 14.6%, 16.8%, and 15.8%, respectively. After adjusting for residence, paternal education, and nutritional status, the "snack dietary pattern" (mainly candy, sugar sweetened beverages, and processed snacks) showed positive associations with elevated blood pressure in T2 ( OR =1.21) and T3 ( OR =1.19) tertiles ( P <0.05). Conclusions The snack dietary pattern is a related factor for elevated blood pressure in children and adolescents. Restricting unhealthy snack intake may promote cardiovascular health.

Objective To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of a spray prepared from exosomes derived from M2 macrophages induced by interleukin-4 （IL-4） and tantalum particles （Ta） on the healing of pressure ulcers. Methods Bone marrow-derived macrophages were polarized into M2 macrophages using IL-4 or Ta, and exosomes （Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta） were extracted. The regulatory effects of Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta on M1 macrophage phenotypes and fibroblast matrix secretion were evaluated in vitro. Proteomic analysis was conducted to explore the biological processes and regulatory networks associated with Exo-Ta. A rat pressure ulcer model was used to assess the effects of Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta spray on wound healing rate, inflammatory cell infiltration, and collagen deposition. Results In vitro, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta induced the polarization of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages, reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, and promoted the expression of anti-inflammatory substances. Additionally, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta enhanced the production of collagen and fibronectin in fibroblasts. Proteomic analysis revealed that Exo-Ta primarily participated in biological processes such as energy metabolism and macromolecule biosynthesis. In vivo, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta spray accelerated wound healing, reduced inflammatory infiltration, and improved tissue remodeling in the rat pressure ulcer model. Conclusion Exosome sprays derived from M2 macrophages could accelerate pressure ulcer healing by modulating inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration, which demonstrated excellent clinical application potential.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the neuroprotective effect of curculigoside （CUR） on rats with spinal cord injury （SCI） based on phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten gene-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1）/E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin signaling pathway. METHODS Taking male SD rats as subjects， 15 rats were randomly selected as sham operation group； the rest rats were chosen to establish SCI model by spinal cord impact method， and then were divided into model group， CUR low-dose group （36 mg/kg CUR， gavage）， CUR high-dose group （72 mg/kg CUR， gavage） and CUR high-dose+3- methyladenine （3-MA） group （72 mg/kg CUR， gavage+20 mg/kg autophagy inhibitor 3-MA， intraperitoneal injection）， with 15 rats in each group. Rats in each group were given corresponding liquid/normal saline， once a day， for 28 consecutive days. Basso- Beattie-Bresnahan （BBB） score and Rivlin inclined plate experiment were performed on the 14th and 28th day after administration； the pathological changes of spinal cord tissue in rats were observed in each group； the apoptosis of spinal cord tissue， the levels of oxidative stress factors [malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione （GSH）]， and the protein expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF）， glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）， PINK1， Parkin， p62 and microtubule- associated protein light chain 3 （LC3） were all determined. RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group， obvious edema and bleeding in the spinal cord tissue of rats were observed in the model group， accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration； BBB score and inclined plate angle， SOD and GSH levels， the protein expressions of BDNF， PINK1 and Parkin， and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio were significantly reduced； the apoptosis rate， MDA level， the protein expressions of GFAP and p62 in spinal cord tissue were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the edema， bleeding and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the spinal cord tissue of rats were reduced in the administration groups， and the above quantitative indicators had been significantly improved （P＜0.05）； 3-MA could significantly reverse the improvement effects of the above indexes by CUR （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS CUR can promote the recovery of neurological and motor functions in SCI rats， improve the pathological injury of the spinal cord and inhibit apoptosis， which may be related to mitochondrial autophagy mediated by activating the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata on neurological function injury in ischemic stroke rats and explore its mechanism. MethodMale SD rats were randomized into sham operation， model， low- and high -dose （3.5 g·kg^-1 and 7 g·kg^-1） Rehmannia Radix Praeparata， and nimodipine （0.01 g·kg^-1） groups. The rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） was established with the modified suture occlusion method. Zea-Longa 5-point scoring was employed to evaluate the neurological function of rats. The cerebral infarction volume was detected by 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl staining were employed to observe the morphology and damage of the brain tissue. Meanwhile， the serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， oxidative stress-related indicators superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， and malondialdehyde （MDA）， and the iron （Fe） content in the brain tissue were determined. To explore the mechanism of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata in mitigating the neurological damage in ischemic stroke rats， Western blotting was employed to determine the expression levels of proteins in the ischemic brain tissue. The autophagy-associated proteins included autophagy effector （beclin-1）， microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 （LC3B）， and ubiquitin-binding protein p62 （p62）. The ferroptosis-associated proteins included transferrin （TF）， transferrin receptor 1 （TFR1）， ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）， and ferropotin （FPN1）. The neurological function injury-associated proteins included brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） and tyrosine kinase receptor B （TrkB）. ResultCompared with the sham operation group， the model group showed increased neurological function score， cerebral infarction volume， and appearance of nuclear pyknosis and vacuole of cells in the cerebral cortex. In addition， the model group presented elevated levels of LDH， MDA， and Fe （P<0.01） and lowered levels of SOD and GPX4 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata decreased the content of LDH， MDA， and Fe （P<0.05， P<0.01） and elevated the levels of SOD and GPX4 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the sham operation group， the modeling promoted the expression of beclin-1，LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ， TF， and TFR1 and inhibited the expression of p62， FTH1， FPN1， BDNF， and TrkB （P<0.01）. The expression levels of these proteins were recovered after the treatment with Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata. ConclusionRehmanniae Radix Praeparata may inhibit ferroptosis and improve the neurological function in ischemic stroke rats by down-regulating the autophagy level in the brain tissue.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of aumolertinib combined with anlotinib on proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)cells.Methods CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,and flow cytometry were used to assess the effect of different concentrations of aumolertinib or anlotinib on proliferation,survival,and apoptosis of PC-9 and HCC827 cells,and their synergistic effect was evaluated using the SynergyFinder model.In PC-9 and HCC827 cells treated with aumolertinib combined with anlotinib,the changes in cell invasion and migration abilities were assessed with Transwell assay,and the expressions of apoptosis-and invasion/migration-related proteins(Bax,Bcl-2,E-cadherin,vimentin,MMP2,and MMP9)and the key PI3K-Akt pathway proteins were detected using Western blotting.Results In PC-9 cells,the IC50 of aumolertinib and anlotinib was 1.701 μmol/L and 4.979 μmol/L,respectively,with a synergy score(ZIP)of 19.112;in HCC827 cells,their IC50 was 2.961 μmol/L and 7.934 μmol/L,respectively,with a ZIP of 12.325.Compared with aumolertinib and anlotinib used alone,their combined treatment more strongly inhibited the proliferation and survival,enhanced apoptosis and suppressed invasion and migration abilities of PC-9 and HCC827 cells.Western blotting showed that in both PC-9 and HCC827 cells,the combined treatment significantly upregulated the expressions of E-cadherin and Bax proteins,downregulated the expressions of Bcl-2,vimentin,MMP2,and MMP9 proteins,and reduced phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt.Conclusion Aumolertinib combined with anlotinib can effectively inhibit NSCLC cell proliferation by downregulating the PI3K-Akt pathway,suggesting a potentially new option for NSCLC treatment.
