Objective:
To explore the association between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide theoretical basis for the prevention of anxiety and depressive symptoms co-occurrence among adolescents.
Methods:
A random cluster sampling involving 8 500 first year junior high school students in 11 counties in Yunnan Province was conducted by a questionnaire survey from October to December 2022. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was applied to assess anxiety and depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students. Chi-square test was used to compare the anxiety-depression co-occurrence symptoms of first year junior high school students with different demographic characteristics. The association between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms of adolescents was analyzed by binary Logistic regression models.
Results:
The detection rate of co-occurrence of anxiety and depression symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province was 26.92%. After controlling for demographic variables and other confounders, takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption( OR=1.50, 95%CI =1.27-1.77) was associated with anxiety-depression co-occurrence symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province ( P <0.01). Stratified analysis showed that both Han ( OR=1.37, 95%CI =1.07-1.77) and ethnic minorities ( OR=1.60, 95%CI =1.29-2.00) exhibited statistically significant associations between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms(both P <0.05).
Conclusions
Takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption increases the risk of co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province. It is recommended to strengthen guidance on the consumption of such products among junior high school students to prevent co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):65-69
Objective:
To explore the effects of personality and sleep quality with psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents, so as to provide a reference basis for precise interventions of junior and senior high school students mental health.
Methods:
In October 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 9 034 students aged 12-17 from Shiyan City as the study subjects. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to collect information on sleep quality and psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Between group comparison was conducted by using t-test and Chi-square test. Generalized linear models were employed to analyze the interaction and joint effects of personality and sleep quality on psychological distress.
Results:
The generalized linear model analysis showed that the interaction between personality and sleep quality on psychological distress was statistically significant of junior and senior high school students(effect size=0.80, P <0.01). The general linear model analysis indicated that, after adjusting for variables such as age, gender, screen time, and daily sitting time with the extroverted and good sleep quality group as the reference, the introverted and poor sleep quality group had the largest mean difference in psychological distress scores (difference=0.51, P <0.05). When stratified by sleep quality, psychological distress scores were higher in the introverted and neutral personality groups with both poor and good sleep quality compared to the extroverted group (poor sleep quality: introverted difference=3.71, neutral difference=1.14; good sleep quality: introverted difference=2.23, neutral difference=0.57, all P < 0.05). When stratified by personality, psychological distress scores were higher in the poor sleep quality groups for introverted, neutral, and extroverted individuals compared to their good sleep quality counterparts (differences=8.66, 7.83, 7.34, all P < 0.05 ).
Conclusions
Personality and sleep quality have interactive and joint effects on psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Personalized psychological interventions should be developed based on personality and sleep quality.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(4):486-489
Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Yangzhou City, and its association with screen behaviors, so as to provide scientific evidence for weight management among students.
Methods:
In May 2025, an electronic questionnaire survey was conducted among children and adolescents in Yangzhou City. A total of 3 722 participants were selected from grades 4 to 12 in 18 primary and secondary schools (108 classes) by using stratified cluster random sampling. The Chi square test was used to compare the differences in the detection rates of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with 5 types of screen behaviors (watching TV, playing electronic games, scrolling short videos, screen based learning, electronic socializing) in different time groups each day (never, >0~<2 h, ≥2 h). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the associations of five types of screen behaviors, presence of electronic devices in the bedroom, and screen use during meals on the weight status of children and adolescents.
Results:
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents was 37.3%. For all five types of screen behaviors, the differences in the distribution of overweight and obesity detection rates among children and adolescents across the three time spent categories were statistically significant ( χ 2=30.76- 70.78 , all P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that frequent or always using screens during meals( OR =1.63, 95% CI =1.14~2.31), playing video games ( OR =1.28, 95% CI =1.11-1.48), browsing short videos ( OR =1.29, 95% CI=1.09-1.54), and screen based learning ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.10-1.44) were significantly associated with overweight and obesity among children and adolescents (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Excessive screen use is positively correlated with the incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Targeted interventions on screen behaviors among children and adolescents are therefore warranted.

OBJECTIVE To construct a pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals in nursing homes, so as to provide standardized content guidance for relevant practice. METHODS The initial items of pharmaceutical care content in n ursing homes were drafted through literature research and semi-structured interviews. Delphi method was used to conduct correspondence consultation among 38 experts from related fields in Xinjiang. The expert positive coefficient, authority coefficient, and Kendall’s W were calculated, and the analytic hierarchy process was employed to determine the weight of each item. After thorough discussion among the research team members, the pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals provided by hospital pharmacists collaborating with nursing homes was finalized. RESULTS The questionnaire recovery rates for both rounds of expert correspondence consultation were 100%, with an authority coefficient >0.8 and Kendall’s W ranging between 0.153 and 0.185 ( P <0.001). A total of 7 primary items and 31 secondary items were ultimately determined, with the consistency ratio of the item weights all being less than 0.1. Based on the integration of importance and feasibility, among the primary items, “assessment of pharmaceutical care needs” was assigned the highest weight. Among the secondary items, highly practical items such as “survey of pharmaceutical care needs”“guidance on usage and dosage”“methods for correctly reading drug package inserts”, and “self-management of common chronic diseases in the elderly” were assigned relatively high comprehensive weights. CONCLUSIONS The pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals provided by hospital pharmacists collaborating with nursing homes, which was constructed based on the Delphi method, demonstrates good scientific validity and reliability, and can serve as a reference for pharmacists to provide pharmaceutical care in nursing homes.

The Huangdi Neijing proposes the " using bitter herbs to nourish or purge" theory to guide clinical prescription and formulation of herbal remedies based on the physiological characteristics and functions of the five zang viscera, along with the properties and flavors of medicinal herbs. This study explored diabetic kidney disease pathogenesis and treatment based on the " using bitter herbs to nourish or purge" theory. Kidney dryness is a key pathological factor in diabetic kidney disease, and the disharmony of kidney dryness is an essential aspect of its pathogenesis. Strengthening is the primary therapeutic principle, and kidney dryness is a persistent factor throughout the occurrence and progression of diabetic kidney disease. In the early stage, the pathogenesis involves heat-consuming qi and injuring yin, leading to kidney dryness. In the middle stage, the pathogenesis manifests as qi deficiency and blood stasis in the collaterals, resulting in turbidity owing to kidney dryness. In the late stage, the pathogenesis involves yin and yang deficiency, with kidney dryness and disharmony. This study proposes the staging-based treatment based on the " need for firmness" characteristic of the kidney. The aim is to provide new insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine by rationally using pungent, bitter, and salty medicinal herbs to nourish and moisturize the kidney. This approach seeks to promote precise syndrome differentiation and personalized treatment for different stages of diabetic kidney disease, thereby enhancing clinical efficacy.

Objective:To explore the expression of lamin (LMN) gene in Colorectal cancer (CRC) , as well as the effects of knockdown LMNA expression in colorectal cancer cells on its migration ability and related molecular mechanisms.Methods:Paraffin-embedded specimens of tumor tissues and corresponding peritumoral tissues were collected from 37 colorectal cancer patients for the detection of LMNA protein expression. Colorectal cancer cell line SW480 was cultured in vitro and divided into Mock group (transfected MOCk-siRNA) and LMNA group (transfected LMNA-siRNA) . Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the LMNA mRNA content in SW480 cells of experimental group and control group. The expression levels of LMNA, Wnt and β-catenin in SW480 cells of experimental group and control group were detected by Western blotting. The migration ability of cells in each group was detected by cell scratch test. The migration ability of cells in each group were detected by transwell assay.Results:Immunohistochemical test showed that the positive rate of LMNA protein in colorectal cancer tissues was 89.19% (33/37 cases) , and the expression rate in corresponding paracancer tissues was 48.65% (18/37 cases) . The expression level of LMNA in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues ( P<0.001) . siRNA decreased the expression of LMNA protein in colorectal cancer cells SW480. The scratch healing rate was (53.71±5.34) % in the experimental group and (83.84±6.98) % in the control group. The results of Transwell experiment showed that the number of successfully migrated cells in the experimental group was 34.92±5.11, and that in the control group was 93.87±12.57. The results showed that the migration ability of SW480 cells was significantly decreased after low expression of LMNA ( P<0.01) . Western blot results showed that the relative expression level of Wnt and β-catenin in LMNA group was 0.42±0.12 and 0.22±0.11 respectively. The relative expression levels of Wnt and β-catenin in MOCK group were 1.28±0.26 and 1.14±0.21 respectively. The expression levels of P16 and Wnt and β-catenin in PC3 cells with low LMNA expression were increased ( P<0.05) , while the expressions of WNT and β-catenin were decreased (both P<0.05) . Conclusion:The expression of LMNA was significantly increased in colorectal cancer, which may be related to the malignant degree of colorectal cancer. LMNA proteins may affect the migration ability of colorectal cancer cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the potential profile characteristics and influencing factors of rehabilitation motivation in elderly patients with first stroke, so as to provide reference for promoting precise rehabilitation mode.Methods:A convenience sampling method was employed to conduct a cross-sectional survey of elderly patients with first stroke admitted to the Huanhu Hospital Affiliated to Tianjin Medical University from October 2024 to March 2025. The survey utilized a general information questionnaire, the Motivation in Stroke Patients for Rehabilitation Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Exercise Adherence Questionnaire (EAQ), and the Stroke Stigma Scale (SSS). Potential categories of rehabilitation motivation among elderly patients with first stroke were identified using latent profile analysis, and the influencing factors of these potential categories were explored using the ordered multinomial Logistic regression.Results:A total of 290 survey questionnaires were distributed, and 281 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.9%(281/290). Among 281 elderly patients with first stroke, there were 152 males and 129 females, with an age of (68.68 ± 6.89) years. The score of the Motivation in Stroke Patients for Rehabilitation Scale was 56.00 (36.00, 68.00) points. Rehabilitation motivation among elderly patients with first stroke could be categorized into three groups: low motivation-lack of family support and unclear goals group (44.1%, 124/281), moderate motivation-social reintegration driven but insufficient behavior group (41.3%, 116/281), and high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group (14.6%, 41/281). The ordered multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to patients aged ≥80 years, patients aged 60-69 years were less likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=0.231, P<0.05). Compared to patients with a per capita monthly income of ≥5 001 yuan, patients with a per capita monthly income of 3 001-5 000 yuan were more likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=2.340, P<0.05). Compared to heavily dependent patients, patients who were completely independent ( OR=0.160, P<0.05), mildly dependent ( OR=0.155, P<0.01), and moderately dependent ( OR=0.211, P<0.05) were less likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group. The higher the EAQ score, the more likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=1.139, P<0.01). The higher the PSSS score, the more likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=1.108, P<0.01). The higher the SSS score, the less likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=0.787, P<0.01). Conclusions:Healthcare professionals can develop targeted intervention strategies based on the characteristics and influencing factors of patients' different rehabilitation motivations, thereby enhancing their rehabilitation motivation and promoting patient recovery.

Objective:To explore the potential categories of internal ability of elderly patients with ischemic stroke, identify the influencing factors and propose corresponding nursing interventions.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From January 2025 to May 2025, the elderly patients with ischemic stroke in Tianjin Huanhu Hospital were selected by convenient sampling method. The general information questionnaire, the Internal Capacity Assessment Scale for the Older People, the Health Literacy Scale for stroke patients and the Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate. To determine latent categories of patients' intrinsic capacity, potential profile analysis was employed. Subsequently, multivariable Logistic regression examined factors associated with these categories.Results:A total of 260 survey questionnaires were distributed, and 256 valid questionnaires were finally collected, with an effective response rate of 98.46% (256/260). Among of them, there were 166 males and 90 females, aged 68.00 (63.00, 74.00) years.The intrinsic ability of elderly patients with ischemic stroke could be divided into three potential categories: low sensation-low exercise group (27.0%, 69/256), relatively stable intrinsic ability group (37.5%, 96/256) and low cognition-low psychology group (35.5%, 91/256). Multivariable Logistic regression showed that advanced age (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, OR=0.902; compared to the relatively stable intrinsic ability group, OR=0.813), smoking (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, OR=0.459; compared to the relatively stable intrinsic ability group, OR=0.442), the lower the Barthel index (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, ≤40 points with OR=0.157; 41-60 points with OR=0.285) were more likely to enter the low cognition-low psychology group (all P<0.05); other chronic disease types ≤1 (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=2.630), higher health literacy scores (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=1.033) were more likely to enter the relatively stable intrinsic ability group (both P<0.05); and stroke frequency was the first occurrence (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=2.725) was more likely to enter the low sensation-low exercise group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In older adults with ischemic stroke, the characteristics of intrinsic ability are clearly categorized. To enhance patient outcomes, healthcare professionals are advised to tailor nursing interventions based on the unique features and specific influencing factors associated with each potential category.

Purpose To investigate the predictive value of the methylation regulator heterogeneous nuclear ribonu-cleoprotein C(HNRNPC)in the extracellular vesicles(EVs)derived from cervical cancer cells for tumor invasion and metastasis.Methods In vitro experiments were conducted using a human normal cervical epithelial cell line(Hcer-Epic),three cervical cancer cell lines(HeLa,SiHa and CaSki)and human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HU-VECs).HNRNPC protein expression was assessed by Western blot.CaSki cells were transfected with either sh-NC or sh-HNRNPC,and EVs were subsequently isolated from culture supernatant.The effects of EVs on the proliferation,migration and invasion of SiHa cells,as well as on angiogenesis in HUVECs,were investigated respectively.For tissue microarray analysis,normal cervical tissues(n=8),low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL,n=32)and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL,n=37),and cervical carcinoma specimens(n=153)were ob-tained from our institution.Based on HNRNPC immunoscores,cervical cancer patients were divided into two groups:high(n=99)and low(n=54)HNRNPC expression group,and their clinicopathological features and prognosis were compared.Results Compared with HcerEpic cells,the expression of HNRNPC increased in SiHa,HeLa and CaSki cells.In SiHa cells treated with EVs from CaSki cell,the group receiving EVs from sh-HNRNPC-transfected CaSki cells showed significantly reduced proliferation,colony formation,migration,and invasion compared with the sh-NC-EVs group(P<0.05).Similarly,in HUVECs treated with CaSki-EVs,compared with sh-NC-EVs group,the sh-HNRNPC-EVs group demonsteated significantly lower protein expression of PCNA and VEGFA and reduced angiogene-sis length(P<0.05).HNRNPC expression gradually increased during the transformation of cervical epithelial cells(F=106.9,P<0.001),and was significantlyelevated in HSIL and cervical cancer tissues compared with normal tis-sues(P<0.001).Moreover,in cervical cancer,high HNRNPC expression was significantly related to poorer cellular differentiation,larger tumor size,parametrial and vaginal infiltration,advanced FIGO stage,and pelvic lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that that patients with high HNRNPC expression had significant-ly shorter overall survival post-surgery compared with those with low expression(P<0.05).Conclusion EVs contai-ning HNRNPC contribute to cervical cancer progression by promoting tumor growth,invasion,and angiogenesis,there-by accelerating metastasis.In addition,high HNRNPC expression in cervical cancer tissue is related to poor prognosis of patients,indicating that EV-associated HNRNPC may serve as a potential therapeutic target.
