Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(4):498-501
Objective:
To identify research priorities on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a theoretical base for improving their physical and mental health.
Methods:
In May 2025, 77 experts in the fields of health and education from 11 cities in Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling method to participate in the first round of expert consultation. In June, 2025, snowball sampling was used to expand to 194 experts for the second round of consultation, and it was convenient to select 21 students from primary schools to high schools in Zhejiang Province and 29 parents to empower the evaluation criteria. It applied the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method in a structured process, which encompassed the definition of the research field, generation of research ideas, scoring, and quantitative ranking of priorities. Research ideas were evaluated against 6 predefined criteria: effectiveness, safety, answerability, feasibility, sustainability, and scientific significance.
Results:
After 2 rounds of structured consultations, 81 research ideas on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents were established and classified into 7 subthemes: epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors, optimization of primary service systems and policies, comprehensive intervention strategies for physical and mental comorbidity, biological mechanisms and clinical research, the impact of education and environment on physical and mental health, special populations and social support, and digital and technology driven disease prevention and intervention. The top 10 research priorities primarily centered on the subdomain of "epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors" (5 items). The top 3 research priorities were "the association between outdoor activity duration and the incidence of common diseases (including mental disorders) among children and adolescents" "the impact of outdoor activity duration on the physical and mental health of adolescents" "comprehensive intervention strategies for myopia, obesity, and their comorbidities among children and adolescents".
Conclusion
The framework of priority issues in the field of psychosomatic comorbidity of children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province based on CHNRI method provides a reference for optimizing the allocation of provincial research resources.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of resistance combined with aerobic chrono-exercise on the common carotid artery elasticity and hemodynamics. 24 healthy young men (21.96±0.43 years old) underwent a single acute resistance combined with aerobic exercise intervention at eight time periods (6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 o'clock). The axial flow velocity and diameter waveforms of the common carotid artery were measured, and the hemodynamics were calculated using the classical hemodynamic theory before exercise, immediately after exercise, 10 min and 20 min after exercise. The results showed that during exercise recovery, systolic and mean pressures decreased more markedly after exercise at 8 o'clock (P < 0.05); At 20 min post-exercise, arterial stiffness index and pressure-strain elastic modulus after exercise at 6 o'clock were reduced compared with the resting state, but were significantly elevated after exercise at 20 o'clock (P < 0.05). Immediately after exercise, the pressure rise was higher after exercise at 6 o'clock and the mean wall shear stress was higher after exercise at 20 o'clock (P < 0.05). These results suggest that resistance combined with aerobic chrono-exercise produces different effects on common carotid artery hemodynamics in young men. A single acute session of resistance combined with aerobic exercise at 8 o'clock is more effective in lowering blood pressure. Exercise at 6 o'clock is beneficial to improve arterial elasticity but is not recommended for young male individuals with cardiovascular disease risks because of the excessive increase in blood pressure immediately after exercise. Exercise at 20 o'clock is more effective in improving wall shear stress but is accompanied by elevated arterial stiffness indices and pressure-strain elastic modulus. These results provide a scientific basis for healthy young men in choosing the time of exercise by exploring the common carotid artery elasticity and hemodynamic-related indices.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between changes in intestinal toxicity and compositional alterations of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix(commonly known as Langdu) before and after milk processing, and to explore the detoxification mechanism of milk processing. Mice were intragastrically administered the 95% ethanol extract of raw Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix, milk-decocted(milk-processed), and water-decocted(water-processed) Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. Fecal morphology, fecal water content, and the release levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) in different intestinal segments were used as indicators to evaluate the effects of different processing methods on the cathartic effect and intestinal inflammatory toxicity of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. LC-MS/MS was employed to analyze the small-molecule components in the raw product, the 95% ethanol extract of the milk-processed product, and the milky waste(precipitate) formed during milk processing, to assess the impact of milk processing on the chemical composition of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. The results showed that compared with the blank group, both the raw and water-processed Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix significantly increased the fecal morphology score, fecal water content, and the release levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in various intestinal segments(P<0.05). Compared with the raw group, all indicators in the milk-processed group significantly decreased(P<0.05), while no significant differences were observed in the water-processed group, indicating that milk, as an adjuvant in processing, plays a key role in reducing the intestinal toxicity of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. Mass spectrometry results revealed that 29 components were identified in the raw product, including 28 terpenoids and 1 acetophenone. The content of these components decreased to varying extents after milk processing. A total of 28 components derived from Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix were identified in the milky precipitate, of which 27 were terpenoids, suggesting that milk processing promotes the transfer of toxic components from Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix into milk. To further investigate the effect of milk adjuvant processing on the toxic terpenoid components of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix, transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used to observe the morphology of self-assembled casein micelles(the main protein in milk) in the milky precipitate. The micelles formed in casein-terpenoid solutions were characterized using particle size analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy. TEM observations confirmed the presence of casein micelles in the milky precipitate. Characterization results showed that with increasing concentrations of toxic terpenoids, the average particle size of casein micelles increased, fluorescence intensity of the solution decreased, the maximum absorption wavelength in the UV spectrum shifted, and significant changes occurred in the infrared spectrum, indicating that interactions occurred between casein micelles and toxic terpenoid components. These findings indicate that the cathartic effect of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix becomes milder and its intestinal inflammatory toxicity is reduced after milk processing. The detoxification mechanism is that terpenoid components in Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix reassemble with casein in milk to form micelles, promoting the transfer of some terpenoids into the milky precipitate.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by impaired motility of cilia and flagella. Mutations in cilia- and flagella-associated protein 300 ( CFAP300 ) are associated with human PCD and male infertility; however, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. In a consanguineous Chinese family, we identified a homozygous CFAP300 loss-of-function variant (c.304delC) in a proband presenting with classical PCD symptoms and severe sperm abnormalities, including dynein arm deficiency and acrosomal malformation, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Histological analysis revealed multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella in CFAP300 -mutant individual, whereas immunofluorescence demonstrated markedly reduced CFAP300 expression in the spermatozoa of the proband. Furthermore, tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics showed that the CFAP300 mutation reduced key spermatogenesis proteins (e.g., sperm flagellar 2 [SPEF2], solute carrier family 25 member 31 [SLC25A31], and A-kinase anchoring protein 3 [AKAP3]) and mitochondrial ATP synthesis factors (e.g., SLC25A31, cation channel sperm-associated 3 [CATSPER3]). It also triggered abnormal increases in autophagy-related proteins and signaling mediator phosphorylation. These molecular alterations are likely to contribute to progressive deterioration of sperm ultrastructure and function. Notably, successful pregnancy was achieved via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using the proband's sperm. Overall, this study expands the known CFAP300 mutational spectrum and offers novel mechanistic insights into its role in spermatogenesis.

Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2025;52(7):1817-1832
Modified electro-convulsive therapy (MECT) is one of the most potent treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, it remains a second-line option due to significant side effects, such as transient memory loss. The relationship between therapeutic efficacy and cognitive impairment warrants further investigation to develop improved treatment regimens. In this review, we examine recent evidence from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies aiming to identify structural and functional brain changes specifically associated with both the antidepressant effects and the amnesic outcomes of MECT. MECT induces widespread alterations across multiple brain systems. Increases in gray matter volume (GMV) have been observed in the prefrontal, temporal, and parietal cortices, as well as in subcortical regions such as the hippocampus (HP), amygdala, and striatum. Strengthening of myelination has also been reported along the dorsolateral prefrontal-limbic pathways. Functional changes include increased spontaneous neural activity in prefrontal areas, reorganization of intrinsic connectivity within the default mode network (DMN), and altered functional connectivity (FC) among the DMN, salience network (SN), and central executive network (CEN). Correlational studies have identified structural and functional alterations linked to antidepressant efficacy, including right hippocampal volume enlargement, prefrontal cortical thickening, reduced iron deposition in the striatum, decreased FC within certain DMN nodes, and enhanced effective connectivity from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to the right angular gyrus. In contrast, the amnesic effects have been associated with increased volumes in the left hippocampus and bilateral dentate gyrus; enhanced FC in the left angular gyrus and left posterior cingulate cortex (PCC); increased FC between the right ventral anterior insula and DLPFC; and reduced FC in the left thalamus and bilateral precuneus. Changes in the hippocampus appear to correlate with both antidepressant efficacy and memory impairment. Clinical studies have found no significant correlation between the severity of memory impairment and the reduction in depressive symptoms, suggesting that the therapeutic and adverse effects may arise from distinct regional or subregional mechanisms. Supporting this hypothesis, recent findings show that increased right hippocampal volume is significantly associated with reduced depression scores, whereas increased volume in the left dentate gyrus correlates with declines in delayed recall performance. Additionally, enhanced connectivity between the anterior hippocampus and middle occipital gyrus (MOG) has been linked to mood improvement, while decreased FC between the mid-hippocampus and angular gyrus has been associated with impairments in memory integration. In conclusion, current evidence suggests that the antidepressant and memory-impairing effects of MECT may localize to distinct hippocampal subregions. These effects likely result from differential modulation of local neural activity and functional connectivity, leading to divergent behavioral outcomes. Given that both effects may originate in deep and spatially constrained structures such as the hippocampus, small-sample studies and conventional methodologies may fail to differentiate them effectively. Future research should employ large-scale, longitudinal designs utilizing high-field MRI and multimodal neuroimaging to characterize MECT-induced structure-function coupling in the hippocampus and its integration at the network level. Additionally, multiscale analyses spanning molecular, circuit, and network dimensions would be beneficial.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

This retrospective analysis included 10 patients with relapsed/refractory warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) who received zanubrutinib (treatment course: 3-6 months) and completed at least 3 months of follow-up at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2022 to January 2024. The cohort included two male and eight female patients with a median age of 63 years (range: 36-76), who had received a median of 9 months (range: 3-22) of previous therapies. At 1-month, 3-month, and final follow-up (median 7 months), the overall response (OR) rates were 30%, 60%, and 60%, with corresponding complete response (CR) rates of 20%, 40%, and 40%, respectively. The median time to achieve a response was 2 months (range: 1-2) among the responders. No disease relapse or clonal progression was documented during follow-up. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 30% of the patients (all grade 1-2 reversible events). One responder died of infectious multiple organ failure at 8 months after treatment initiation. Our results indicate that zanubrutinib provides rapid amelioration of anemia with manageable short-term safety in patients with relapsed/refractory wAIHA.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of health needs and healthcare workforce demands among potential service users in community health service institurions (CHSIs) and establish a comprehensive health needs profile for targeted service development.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire survey (55 items for adults and 39 items for minors) was conducted among 564 residents aged 3-65 in Dapuqiao Subdistrict, Shanghai from March to May 2024. A health sketch model was developed, encompassing five dimensions (intake, basal metabolism, consumption, influencing factors, and somatosensory perception). Health issues were mapped to standardized healthcare services, and annual standardized workloads (SW) were calculated to quantify human resource demands. Results:Among 534 valid responses (94.68% response rate), 355 from the adults and 179 from minors, the top health issues for adults were irregular diet, nutritional imbalance, obesity, somatic fatigue, and disordered eating; for minors, they were nutritional imbalance, medication overuse, insufficient physical activity, picky eating, and anorexia. The total annual SW required to address these needs was 3 906 807.93. Among them, the total SW for each age group was as follows: the total annual SW demand for children aged between 3 and 5 years old was 24 108.90, for children aged between 6 and 11 years old was 141 355.70, for adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years old was 29 813.74, 223 475.50 for 18-24 year olds, 476 426.53 for 25-34 year olds, 1 221 105.84 for 35-44 year olds, 812 200.22 for 45-54 year olds; and 978 321.50 for 55-65 year olds. Workforce allocation analysis revealed a total demand for 139.84 standardized personnel, with rehabilitation therapists (38.16), general practitioners (35.69), and nurses (27.34) being the top three required roles.Conclusions:Health needs and workforce demands vary significantly across age groups. This study provides a data-driven framework for optimizing community health services through stratified health needs profiling and precision resource allocation. Future strategies should prioritize tailored interventions and workforce planning to bridge service gaps and enhance health outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the descrepancy between current supply and demand based on standardiized workload for rational human resource allocation in community health service centers.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center of Shanghai Huangpu District from January 1st to December 3lst 2023. The current status of demand and supply were analyzed using the 2023 data of the institution. The standardised workload was measured according to the potential basic medical and public health service needs based on the disease profile and population groups in the community. The discrepancy between the current supply and theoretical demand was analyzed.Results:A total of 36 634 patients paid 277 262 visits in outpatient clinics of Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center in 2023. There are total 161 employees in the center, 124 of whom are female (77.02%). The actual calibrated workload of basic medical care and public health service in the center calculated on fee-based medical service items in 2023 was 2 888 425.61 and 455 898.35, respectively; while the theoretically calibrated workload was 5 416 492.42 and 711 230.94, respectively. The center employed 131 medical and health workers currently, calibrated as 90.67 employees based on current demand, while it should be 183.74 calibrated on the theoretical demand, there was a certain discrepancy between the current staffing and the standard staffing based on the standardized workload calculation.Conclusion:At present, the actual standardized workload of basic medical and public health services in Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center still has room for improvement, but there is a certain gap between the current human resource allocation and the demand.
