Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2026;30(5):1184-1195
BACKGROUND:Long-term blood flow restriction combined with low-intensity resistance training has been shown to effectively treat obesity by alleviating chronic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.However,the immediate effects of a single session on serum concentrations of vascular endothelial function and inflammatory biomarkers remain unclear.OBJECTIVE:To explore the short-term effects and recovery capacity of blood flow restriction during low-intensity resistance training on serum biomarkers of vascular endothelial function and inflammation in obese male college students.METHODS:Twenty obese male college students(body mass index>30 kg/m2,body fat percentage>25%)were randomly assigned to a control group(0%arterial occlusion pressure)or a blood flow restriction group(80%arterial occlusion pressure).Both groups performed a single session of low-intensity resistance training at an intensity corresponding to a perceived exertion of 11-13 on the Rate of Perceived Exertion Scale.The training was repeated three times,with each session lasting 30 minutes,totaling 1.5 hours.Serum biomarkers were measured before exercise,immediately post-exercise,1 hour post-exercise,and 24 hours post-exercise.The assessed biomarkers included vascular endothelial function markers,inflammatory markers,and insulin function indicators.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Vascular endothelial function:Acute exercise increased vascular endothelial growth factor A concentrations in both groups.The blood flow restriction group significantly elevated serum platelet-derived growth factor and nitric oxide levels(P<0.05),while the control group showed a significant increase in nitric oxide synthase levels(P<0.05).Angiotensin Ⅱ concentrations decreased immediately after acute exercise in both groups but remained significantly higher than baseline in the blood flow restriction group after 24 hours of recovery,and there was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).(2)Regarding inflammatory markers,the blood flow restriction group induced higher levels of hypoxia and significantly upregulated tumor necrosis factor-α and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α concentrations(P<0.05).Adiponectin and leptin levels upregulated in both groups,with a more pronounced rise in adiponectin level in the blood flow restriction group than the control group(P<0.05).lnterleukin-6 concentrations decreased in both groups,with a greater reduction in the blood flow restriction group.(3)For insulin function,the blood flow restriction and control groups showed immediate increases and decreases in insulin levels after exercise,respectively,but these returned to below and above baseline levels after 24 hours of recovery.Both groups reduced insulin resistance index in adipose tissue,with a more significant improvement in the blood flow restriction group(P<0.05).To conclude,compared with low-intensity resistance training,short-term blood flow restriction induces more favorable changes in inflammatory and vascular endothelial biomarkers,improving inflammation and endothelial dysfunction with longer-lasting effects.However,further studies are needed to validate these findings over long-term interventions.

3.Association between mental health and muscle strength among Chinese adolescents aged 13-18
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(9):1232-1236
Objective:
To explore the association between mental health and muscle strength among Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18, providing a theoretical foundation and intervention strategies for mental health promotion.
Methods:
Data were obtained from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health, including 98 631 Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18. Psychological distress was assessed by using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and mental well being was measured with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (WEMWBS). Based on the gender and age specific Z scores of various test items [grip strength, standing long jump, pull ups (for males), and sit ups (for females)], muscle strength index (MSI) was constructed to evaluate the comprehensive level of muscle strength in adolescents. According to the Dual factor Model (DFM) of mental health, participants were categorized into four groups:troubled, symptomatic but content, vulnerable, and complete mental health. Gender differences were analyzed by using Chi-square tests, trends were tested with Cochran-Armitage tests, and multinomial Logistic regression models were applied to assess associations between muscle strength and mental health among adolescents.
Results:
In 2019, 37.4% of Chinese adolescents aged 13-18 were reported of high mental distress, and 59.9% were reported of low mental well being. Boys had significantly lower rates of high mental distress (35.3%) and low mental well being (55.6%) compared to girls (39.4%, 64.3%), and the differences were of statistical significance ( χ 2=176.13, 780.42, both P <0.05). In 2019, the rate of complete mental health among adolescents showed a downward trend with increasing age ( χ 2 trend = 258.47) and a gradual upward trend with increasing muscle strength levels ( χ 2 trend =123.14),and both boys and girls exhibited similar trends ( χ 2 trend =103.83, 168.46; 57.00 , 67.34) (all P <0.05). The results of the unordered multiclass Logistic regression model showed that after controlling for confounding factors such as age and gender, when the completely pathological group as a reference, for every 1 unit increase in MSI in adolescents, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 29% ( OR = 1.29); for every unit increase in the Z-score for pull ups, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 6% ( OR =1.06) among boys; for every 1 unit increase in sit up Z score, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 19% ( OR =1.19) among girls (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
The mental health status of Chinese adolescents is not good enough. Muscle strength is positively associated with mental health.

Objective:To explore the values of reticulin fiber staining (RFS) in evaluating bone marrow (BM) involvement of lymphoma and in grading of BM biopsy from adult lymphoma patients.Methods:Retrospectively,354 cases of adult lymphoma were collected from November 2023 to May 2024 at Peking University Cancer Hospital. BM samples were stained with RFS and immunohistochemical staining (IHC), and flow cytometry (FCM) was also performed with the BM aspirations simultaneously. RFS was graded according to the European Consensus, as high grade (grade 2-3) indicating BM involvement in the study. BM involvement was considered as definite if no less than two positive findings among IHC, FCM, and RFS. Statistical analyses were performed via SPSS software (V23.0).Results:In this series, 52.3% (185/354) of the patients were male; 35.0% (124/354) aged >60 years; BM involvements were found in 34.5% (122/354) cases with high grade of RFS, which, in turn, were lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL/LBL) group (4/4), indolent B-cell lymphoma (IndBCL) group (49.1%, 53/108), transformed B-cell lymphoma (TrBCL) group (2/5), invasive B-cell lymphoma (InvBCL) group (26.5%, 41/155), T and NK cell lymphoma (TNKCL) group (27.3%, 12/44) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) group (26.3%, 10/38); if classified by specific types, T-ALL/LBL (2/2), B-ALL/LBL (2/2) and CLL/SLL (8/10) ranked top three. In terms of the positive rate of BM involvement evaluated by RFS, no significant difference was seen between either gender or age groups ( χ2=3.416, P=0.332 and χ2=4.200, P=0.241); however, significant differences were observed between different lymphoma groups and types ( χ2=29.961, P=0.012 and χ2=102.546, P<0.001, respectively). BM invasion rates indicated by IHC and FCM were 25.4% (90/354) and 13.8% (49/354), respectively. The overall BM invasion rate was 24.3% (86/354), and the sensitivity of RFS, IHC, and FCM was 90.8%, 97.8%, and 55.8%, and specificity was 84.1%, 99.6%, and 98.9%, respectively. Overall, the concordance rate of RFS with IHC and FCM was 83.6% and 74.0%, respectively, including 85.8% and 74.2% for InvBCL group, 79.6% and 75.0% for IndBCL group, 84.1% and 75.0% for TNKCL group, 81.6% and 73.7% for CHL group, 5/5 and 2/5 for TrBCL group, and 4/4 and 3/4 for ALL/LBL group. Conclusions:In the evaluation of BM involvement status of adult lymphoma, high sensitivity and specificity are observed by RFS, and high concordance is also noted with both IHC and FCM. Thus, the BM infiltrating status of adult lymphoma could be evaluated more accurately by a combined usage of the three methods.

Objective:In alignment with the practical teaching objectives of Diseases of the Locomotor System and the competency requirements for graduates of military medical universities, this study conducted a multidimensional modification of the traditional objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) to provide a novel training mode that enhances the effectiveness of practical teaching of this course.Methods:The traditional OSCE was modified from the four dimensions of integration, individuality, immersion, and intelligence. The first three stations were set as "diagnosis" and the last three stations were set as "operation" to reflect the "integration" of diagnosis and treatment. The last station of "operation" was set as "medical cares of combat and training injuries" to reflect "individuality" of military medical training. The method of situation creation was used to reflect "immersion", and the application of intelligent terminals reflected "intelligence". The study involved 50 trainees who were assigned to either a modified OSCE group or a traditional teaching group through a random drawing process. The teaching effectiveness was assessed through evaluation of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and participant satisfaction. The statistical analysis was conducted by SPSS 22.0, with parametric data assessed by t-tests and non-parametric data assessed by chi-square tests. Results:Before entering the department, there were no statistically significant differences in theoretical ( P=0.832) and practical ( P=0.513) scores between the two groups of trainees. However, after the internship, the modified OSCE group demonstrated significantly enhanced scores compared to the traditional teaching group, both in theory assessment [(93.88±1.92) vs. (90.76±2.85), P=0.001] and skill assessment [(94.32±1.25) vs. (91.68±2.82), P=0.001]. Additionally, the self-assessment of clinical capability improvement by the modified OSCE group was markedly higher across all dimensions than the traditional teaching group ( P=0.001). Furthermore, the evaluation conducted by basic combat unit on the job competency of graduated trainees indicated that the modified OSCE group outperformed the traditional teaching group in basic clinical diagnosis and treatment [(4.72±0.46) vs. (3.44±0.71), P=0.001], emergency management of combat and training injuries [(4.72±0.46) vs. (3.52±0.71), P=0.001], application of information technology [(4.44±0.71) vs. (3.91±0.80), P=0.029], basic military qualities [(4.40±0.71) vs. (3.92±0.91), P=0.043], mental health and resilience [(4.36±0.70) vs. (3.68±0.85), P=0.003], and the capacity for continuous learning [(4.64±0.70) vs. (3.83±0.76), P=0.001]. Conclusions:The modified OSCE teaching mode can better meet the practical teaching requirements for Diseases of the Locomotor System in the military medical university and thus holds promise for further application.

Objective To explore the relationship between the degree of compression and shape grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens in hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage(HCH)patients after neural endoscopic intracranial hematoma evacuation(NEIHE)and prognosis.Methods 246 HCH patients who underwent NEIHE surgery from January 2020 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects.According to the postoperative 6 month Glasgow outcome score(GOS),the patients were divided into good prognosis group(n=158)and poor prognosis group(n=88).Hierarchical regression model was used to analyze the relationship between clinical pathological features and the degree of compression and shape grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens.Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with HCH after NEIHE,and a prediction model was constructed.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve)was drawn with poor prognosis as the outcome variable.Area under the curve(AUC),integrated discrimination improvement(IDI)and net reclassification improvement(NRI)of different prediction models were compared.Hosmer-Lemeshow was used to test the goodness of fit.Generalized additive model(GAM)was used to analyze the relationship between GOS and related factors.Results Compared with the good prognosis group,the poor prognosis group had more preoperative blood loss,lower preoperative Glasgow coma score(GCS),and higher proportion of patients with midline deviation,hypertension history ≥10 years,hemorrhage breaking into the brain ventricle,and operation time in the late stage,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the good prognosis group,the proportions of patients with ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral cistern ambiens compression of 3 to 4 points and the morphological classification of cerebral cistern ambiens of grade V in the poor prognosis group were higher,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The location of bleeding,midline deviation,and intracranial pressure all had an impact on the degree of compression and morphological grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis(model 2:including the degree of compression and shape grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens)showed that midline deviation,history of hypertension ≥10 years,preoperative bleeding volume>37 mL,bleeding into the brain ventricles,preoperative GCS<7 points,late surgical timing,degree of compression of the cerebral cistern ambiens(3 to 4 points on the same side of hematoma,3 to 4 points on the opposite side of hematoma),and grade V morphology were all risk factors influencing the poor prognosis of patients with HCH after NEIHE(P<0.05).After incorporating the degree of compression and morphological grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens into model 1(excluding the degree of compression and shape grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens),the AUC increased to 0.812(95%CI:0.763~0.872),and both the IDI(0.081,95%CI:0.049~0.095)and NRI(0.611,95%CI:0.510~0.674)of the model improved,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Compared with model 1,model 2 showed an increase in AUC(0.826,95%CI:0.771~0.863),IDI(0.085,95%CI:0.052~0.110),and NRI(0.628,95%CI:0.510~0.709),with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that model 2(P=0.878)had a better fit for predicting poor prognosis than model 1(P=0.691).GAM analysis showed that the higher the degree of compression and morphological grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens,the lower the GOS,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the combined application of degree of compression and morphological grading of the cerebral cistern ambiens had a high predictive value for poor prognosis,with AUC of 0.935(95%CI:0.890~0.971),sensitivity of 70.26%,and specificity of 93.84%.Conclusion The degree of compression and shape changes of the cerebral cistern ambiens in HCH patients after NEIHE are closely related to prognosis,and the combined application has certain predictive value for poor prognosis.The location of bleeding,midline deviation,intracranial pressure,and other factors significantly affect the compression degree and shape change of the cerebral cistern ambiens.
