5.Comparison of bioelectrical impedance analysis and dual energy X ray absorptiometry in measuring body composition among Tibetan children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(4):569-573
Objective:
To compare the consistency between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual energy X ray absorptiometry (DXA) in measuring body composition among Tibetan children and adolescents and to explore the applicability of BIA in plateau region, so as to provide scientific and convenient body composition measurement support among children and adolescents.
Methods:
From May to June, 2022, a total of 344 Tibetan children and adolescents aged 6-17 years were selected from Golmud Municipal National Middle School and Changjiangyuan Nationality Primary School in Qinghai Province by cluster sampling method, and their fat mass, fat mass percentage and lean mass were measured by DXA and BIA. The consistency and correlation between the two methods were assessed by using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Spearman correlation analysis, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and Bland-Altman analysis.
Results:
DXA measured fat mass and fat mass percentage were significantly higher than those obtained by BIA (6-12 years old: Z =9.91, 11.28; 13-17 years old: Z =9.02, 10.21), while lean mass and lean mass percentage were significantly lower than BIA results (6-12 years old: Z =-11.60, -11.30; 13-17 years old: Z =-10.77, -10.36) (all P < 0.05 ). The two methods showed strong correlations in fat mass and lean mass (all r >0.80, all ICC >0.90), but exhibited poor agreement in fat mass percentage and lean mass percentage (6-12 years old: Lin s CCC =0.64, 0.41; 13-17 years old: Lin s CCC = 0.79 , 0.35). Bland-Altman analysis showed that the difference between the two methods was negatively correlated with the average value in FM%(6-12 years old: r =-0.75, 13-17 years old: r =-0.79, both P <0.01).
Conclusion
BIA and DXA show high consistency in measuring body fat mass and lean body mass in Tibetan children and adolescents, although some bias is still present in certain individuals.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a chronic metabolic bone disease caused by a decrease in estrogen levels. With the acceleration of population aging process, the public health burden caused by it is becoming increasingly severe. The prevalence rate of osteoporosis in people over 65 years old in China is as high as 32%, which is especially prominent after menopause, which is about 5 times that of elderly men. About 40% of postmenopausal women are at risk of osteoporotic fractures, with a disability rate of up to 50% and a fatality rate of about 20%. The prevention and treatment of osteoporosis has become a major public health issue of global concern, and it is particularly urgent to develop reasonable and effective prevention and treatment programs and explore their scientific basis. Exercise is an important non-drug means for the prevention and treatment of PMOP, it can improve estrogen levels and the expression of bone formation transcription factors, and inhibit the levels of proinflammatory factors and bone resorption markers, macroscopically manifested by the improvement of bone microstructure and bone density. However, the effectiveness of exercise in improving bone mineral density (BMD) remains controversial. Some studies revealed significant changes of bone to mechanical stimulation, while others showed no significant effect of mechanical training, this heterogeneity in bone adapt to mechanical stimulation is particularly evident in postmenopausal women. Although the evidence that a wide range of exercise programs can improve osteoporosis, the optimal solution to address bone mineral loss remains unclear. The most effective exercise type, dosage and personalized adaptation are still being determined. This study will fully consider the differences in gender and hormone levels, searching and screening randomized controlled trials of PubMed, CNKI and other databases regarding exercise improving bone mineral density in women with PMOP. Strictly following the PRISMA guidelines to reviewed and compared the effects of different types of exercise modalities on BMD at different sites in women with PMOP by network Meta-analysis, to provide theoretical guidance to maintain or improve BMD in women with PMOP.

ObjectiveTo optimize the processing technology of honey bran-fried Rosae Laevigatae Fructus(h-RLF), formulate relevant quality standards, and explore its improving effect and mechanism on mice with ulcerative colitis(UC) induced by dextran sodium sulfate(DSS). MethodsTaking the content of polysaccharides and water-soluble extract as the indexes, L9(34) orthogonal test was used to optimize parameters of the amount of honey bran, frying time and frying temperature. The quality of 15 batches of h-RLF decoction pieces was evaluated according to the optimized process, and the inspection limit standard was preliminarily drawn up. Eighty SPF male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 8 groups, including the blank group, model group, mesalazine group(0.13 g·kg-1), RLF group(3.77 g·kg-1), bran-fried RLF group(3.77 g·kg-1), h-RLF low, medium and high dose groups(1.89, 3.77, 7.54 g·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. The mice in the blank group were free to drink pure water, and the other groups were free to drink 3% DSS solution for 7 days to prepare UC mouse model. Each treatment group was given corresponding drugs by intragastric administration, and the blank and model groups were given equal volume of normal saline. The body weight of mice was recorded daily and the disease activity index(DAI) was calculated. After the administration, the colon tissues of mice were collected to observe the pathological changes by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. The levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 in the colon of mice were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of phosphorylation nuclear transcription factor-κB p65(p-NF-κB p65), Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4), p-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p-p38 MAPK), p-extracellular signal-regulated kinase(p-ERK) and p-c-Jun N-terminal kinase(p-JNK) proteins in colon tissues. ResultsThe optimum processing technology of h-RLF was 20 g honey bran per 100 g RLF, and stir-frying at 200 ℃ for 8 min. The limit standard under the examination of h-RLF was preliminarily formulated as follows:the polysaccharide content should not be less than 25% based on anhydrous glucose(C6H12O6), the content of water-soluble extract should not be less than 38%, the moisture content should not be more than 12.0%, the total ash content should not be more than 5.0%, and the acid-insoluble ash content should not be more than 1.0%. The cluster heat map analysis showed that the quality of RLF from Huanggang, Hubei province was better. Animal experiments showed that compared with the blank group, the DAI score of the model group was significantly increased, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the colon tissue were significantly increased, the IL-10 level was significantly decreased, the colonic mucosa was seriously damaged, accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration, tissue congestion and a significant reduction in glands, and the expression levels of p-NF-κB p65, TLR4, p-p38 MAPK, p-ERK and p-JNK proteins were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, each administration group could alleviate the symptoms of colonic ulcer, the structure of colonic crypt was basically intact, and the glands were arranged in an orderly manner. Among them, the high-dose group of h-RLF had a better effect, which could significantly reduce the DAI score and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in colon tissue(P<0.01), and significantly increase the level of IL-10(P<0.01), alleviate the colonic mucosal injury, and effectively inhibit the expression levels of p-NF-κB p65, TLR4, p-p38 MAPK, p-ERK and p-JNK proteins(P<0.01). ConclusionThe key parameters of the processing technology of h-RLF are determined, and the optimized technology is stable and feasible. The established quality standard is simple and reliable, and can be used for the quality control. h-RLF can effectively alleviate DSS-induced UC, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of NF-κB/TLR4/MAPK pathway.

By selecting stable and detectable drug prototypes or metabolites in sewage samples, near real-time detection of disease conditions can be achieved. This study selected oseltamivir carboxylate, the primary metabolite of first-line antiviral oseltamivir, as a biomarker. Based on the concentration of oseltamivir carboxylate in wastewater, the consumption and usage rate of oseltamivir were calculated by reverse engineering. Quarterly sampling was conducted at 46 urban sewage treatment plants in representative 5 cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, from November 2022 to December 2023. The concentration range of oseltamivir acid in sewage samples is 1.270−1 279 ng/L, the daily mass load of oseltamivir per 1 000 inhabitants in the surveyed cities ranged from 9.560 to 544.7 mg/d, and the average utilization rate is 0.06‰−3.63‰. The research results indicate that in March 2023, Wuxi City experienced a spring influenza peak, while Bengbu, Tongling, Suzhou, and Changzhou City experienced a small summer influenza peak in May. In November and December 2023, Wuxi, Changzhou, and Bengbu City experienced a winter influenza peak, the results are consistent with the official statistics of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Influenza Center, which reflect the influenza epidemic situation in southern cities. The integration of this methodology with clinical diagnostic rates could provide near real-time data support for future influenza prevention and control strategies.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between peripheral blood CD4
T lymphocyte subsets and delayed graft function (DGF) and short-term prognosis in kidney transplant recipients, so as to help optimize preoperative assessment for kidney transplantation and provide insights into the immune mechanisms of DGF. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 103 kidney transplant recipients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University during Jun.2022 and Oct.2023. A total of 61 recipients were finally included in this study, and were categorized into two groups based on postoperative renal function recovery:the DGF group (n=20) and the immediate graft function (IGF) group (n=41).Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportions and absolute counts of various CD4
T lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood on postoperative day 7.The clinical data and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets between the two groups were compared.For the subsets that exhibited significant differences, the correlation between their proportions and absolute counts and serum creatinine (Scr) levels on postoperative day 7 was further analyzed in the DGF group.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the predictive performance of the most strongly correlated CD4
T lymphocyte subset in terms of proportion and absolute count for short-term renal function. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the proportions and absolute counts of Th1, Th2, Th17, and regulatory T cells (Treg) between the DGF and IGF groups (P>0.05).The proportions and absolute counts of follicular helper T cells (Tfh) and PD-1
Tfh cells were significantly higher in the DGF group than in the IGF group (P<0.000 1). The Scr levels at 1 month and 1 year postoperatively were significantly higher in the DGF group than in the IGF group (P<0.01), while the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly lower in the DGF group compared with the IGF group (P<0.01, P=0.02).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the proportions and absolute counts of Tfh and PD-1
Tfh cell subsets were positively correlated with the Scr level on post-operative day 7 in the DGF group (P<0.05).The ROC curve demonstrated that the AUC for the proportion of PD-1
Tfh cells in predicting Scr and eGFR at 1 month after surgery was 0.73(95%CI:0.61-0.86) and 0.75 (95%CI:0.62-0.88), respectively.Additionally, the AUC for predicting Scr and eGFR at 1 year was 0.72(95%CI:0.59-0.86) and 0.70(95%CI:0.58-0.83), respectively. Conclusion: The increase in the proportions and absolute counts of Tfh and PD-1
Tfh cells is associated with postoperative DGF of renal transplant recipients, and the proportion of PD-1
Tfh cells may help predict the short-term renal function of recipients.
