BACKGROUND:Research suggests that exercise interventions may be more advantageous than pharmacologic treatments or dietary restriction alone for fat loss,but fewer studies have simultaneously examined the effects of training modalities and training cycles on visceral and subcutaneous fat in obese populations. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the impact of training modalities and training cycles on visceral and subcutaneous fat in recessive obesity female college students. METHODS:Sixty-three female college students with hidden obesity(body mass index<24 kg/m2 and body fat content percentage≥30%)were recruited from Zhengzhou College of Commerce and Industry,and were randomly divided into a high-intensity intermittent training group(n=32)and a moderate-intensity continuous training group(n=31)using the lottery method.Subjects in both groups performed exercise training of corresponding intensity on a running platform and ensured that the exercise volume of both groups was equal,3 times per week,every 4 weeks as one training cycle for 16 weeks.Before training and at the end of each training cycle,subjects'visceral fat,subcutaneous fat,and overall fat were measured using the corresponding test devices. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The repeated measures F results indicated that the main effects of training cycles on visceral fat area,visceral fat index,abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness,percentage of body fat and body mass index were significant,while the main effects of training modalities were significant for subcutaneous fat thickness in the triceps brachii and scapula regions.All the interaction effects between training modalities and training cycles were significant(P<0.05).Results from the simple effect tests revealed that the significant simple effects of training modalities at the 4th and 12th weeks for visceral fat area and visceral fat index,at the 8th and 12th weeks for subcutaneous fat thickness in the triceps brachii,scapula region,and abdominal regions,and at the 8th week for the percentage of body fat and body mass index.Simple effects of training cycles were significant for all measures within each group.(3)The results of multiple comparison tests indicated that in the high-intensity intermittent training group,visceral fat area,visceral fat index,percentage of body fat,body mass index and abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness decreased sequentially at the 4th,8th,12th,and 16th weeks,and subcutaneous fat thickness of the triceps brachii and scapula decreased sequentially at the 8th,12th,and 16th weeks(P<0.05).In the moderate-intensity continuous training group,visceral fat area,visceral fat index,subcutaneous fat thickness of the triceps brachii and scapula,percentage of body fat and body mass index decreased successively at the 8th,12th,and 16th weeks,while abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness decreased successively at the 4th,8th,12th,and 16th weeks(P<0.05).To conclude,both training modalities and training cycles are factors influencing visceral and subcutaneous fat in recessive obesity female college students.Training modality primarily affects subcutaneous fat in the triceps brachii and scapular region,but the fat loss effects may converge over a longer training cycle;training cycle primarily affects visceral fat area,visceral fat index,abdominal subcutaneous fat,body fat content,and body mass index.

Background:
and Purpose Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute posterior circulation tandem lesion (PCTL). This study aimed to explore the role of extracranial vertebral artery (VA) stenting in patients with PCTL stroke undergoing EVT.
Methods:
Individual patient data were pooled from the BASILAR (EVT for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Study) and PERSIST (Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke) registries. Patients with PCTLs who underwent EVT were included in the present cohort and divided into the stenting and nonstenting groups based on the placement of extracranial VA stents. The primary efficacy outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 90 days and 1 year. Safety outcomes included 24-hour symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and all-cause mortality at 90 days and 1 year post-surgery.
Results:
A combined dataset of 1,320 patients with posterior circulation artery occlusion, including 263 (19.9%) with tandem lesions, of whom 217 (median age, 65 years; 82.9% male) met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. The stenting group had 84 (38.7%) patients, while the non-stenting group had 133 (61.3%). After adjustment for the potential confounders, extracranial VA stenting was associated with favorable shifts in mRS scores at both 90 days (adjusted common odds ratio [OR], 2.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23–4.28; P<0.01) and 1 year (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.04; 95% CI [1.05–3.97]; P=0.04), along with lower rate of mortality at both 90 days (aOR, 0.45; 95% CI [0.21–0.93]; P=0.01) and 1 year (aOR, 0.36; 95% CI [0.16–0.79]; P=0.01), with no significant difference in sICH incidence (aOR, 0.35; 95% CI [0.06–1.98]; P=0.24).
Conclusion
Extracranial VA stenting during EVT may improve functional outcomes and reduce mortality in patients with PCTL strokes.

Objective:
To understand the characteristics of injury cases in Longhua District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province from 2021 to 2024, so as to provide the evidence for the development of injury prevention and control measures.
Methods:
The data of injury cases in the first visit due to injury in the sentinel hospitals of Longhua District from 2021 to 2024 were collected from the Shenzhen Injury Surveillance System. The time, cause, place, activity, intention, nature, position, severity, and outcome of injury were described.
Results:
From 2021 to 2024, a total of 167 524 injury cases were reported in Longhua District, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.89∶1. The incidence of injuries was higher in cases aged 30-<45 years (49 957 cases, 29.82%). Injuries mainly occurred from July to August (31 272 cases, 18.67%). The main cause of injury was falls (52 048 cases, 31.07%). Injuries mainly occurred at home (64 110 cases, 38.27%). Leisure activities were the main activities when injuries occurred (79 008 cases, 47.16%). Most of the injuries were unintentional (159 173 cases, 95.02%). The main type of injury was contusion/abrasion (71 900 cases, 42.92%). The main injury site was upper limb (64 247 cases, 38.35%). Most injuries were mild (131 369 cases, 78.42%). The main injury outcome was discharge after treatment, 160 882 cases (96.04%). The second cause of male injury was blunt force injury (30 140 cases, 27.49%), and the second cause of female injury was animal injury (14 648 cases, 25.31%). Fall was the leading cause of injury in people aged 0-<15 years and ≥65 years, and blunt force injury was the leading cause of injury in people aged 15-<65 years. The second place for male injuries was industrial and construction places (23 722 cases, 21.64%), and for female injuries was school/public places (9 644 cases, 16.66%). The first place for injuries in people aged 45-<65 years was in industrial and construction places. The proportions of fractures, moderate injuries, and hospitalizations increased with age (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The main injury cases in Longhua District were males and people aged 30-<45 years. July and August were a period of high risk for injuries. People aged 0-<15 years and ≥65 years were the high-risk groups of falls. More attention should be paid to the fracture risk in the elderly.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Qizhu Kang'ai prescription (QZAP) on the gluconeogenesis enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) in the liver of mouse model of liver cancer induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN) combined with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and Huh7 cells of human liver cancer, so as to explore the mechanism on regulating metabolic reprogramming and inhibiting cell proliferation of liver cancer cells. MethodDEN combined with CCl4 was used to construct a mouse model of liver cancer via intraperitoneal injection. A normal group, a model group, and a QZAP group were set up, in which QZAP (3.51 g·kg-1) or an equal volume of normal saline was administered daily by gavage, respectively. Serum and liver samples were collected after eight weeks of intervention. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in mice were detected to evaluate liver function changes of mice in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Sirius red staining were used to observe pathological changes in liver tissue. In the cell experiment, Huh7 cells were divided into blank group, QZAP low, medium, and high dose groups and/or PCK1 inhibitor (SKF-34288 hydrochloride) group, and Sorafenib group. The corresponding drug-containing serum and drug treatment were given, respectively. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method, colony formation experiment, Edu fluorescent labeling detection, intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content detection, and cell cycle flow cytometry detection were used to evaluate the proliferation ability, energy metabolism changes, and change in the cell cycle of Huh7 cells in each group. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of PCK1, serine/threonine kinase (Akt), phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), and cell cycle-dependent protein kinase inhibitor 1A (p21). ResultCompared with the model group, the pathological changes such as cell atypia, necrosis, and collagen fiber deposition in liver cancer tissue of mice in the QZAP group were alleviated, and the number of liver tumors was reduced (P<0.01). The serum ALT, AST, γ-GT, and AFP levels were reduced (P<0.01). At the cell level, compared with the blank group, low, medium, and high-dose groups of QZAP-containing serum and the Sorafenib group could significantly reduce the survival rate of Huh7 cells (P<0.01) and the number of positive cells with Edu labeling (P<0.01) and inhibit clonal proliferation ability (P<0.01). The QZAP groups could also reduce the intracellular ATP content (P<0.05) and increase the distribution ratio of the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle (P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the model group and blank group, PCK1 and p21 protein levels of mouse liver cancer tissue and Huh7 cells in the QZAP groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the p-Akt protein level was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the ATP content and cell survival rate of Huh7 cells in the SKF-34288 hydrochloride group were significantly increased (P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in the ratio of Edu-positive cells and the proportion of G0/G1 phase distribution. Compared with the SKF-34288 hydrochloride group, the QZAP combined with the SKF-34288 hydrochloride group significantly reduced the ATP content, cell survival rate, and Edu-positive cell ratio of Huh7 cells (P<0.05) and significantly increased the G0/G1 phase distribution proportion (P<0.05). ConclusionQZAP may induce the metabolic reprogramming of liver cancer cells by activating PCK1 to promote Akt/p21-mediated tumor suppression, thereby exerting an anti-hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation mechanism.

It has been proposed by Basic Questions On Proper Therapies for Different Diseases Geographically (《素问·异法方宜论篇》) that "wei (痿) diseases should be treated by Daoyin (导引)". Furthermore, it is clarified that the indications of Daoyin are those conditions related to spleen and dampness caused by dampness pathogen, excessive food intake and less exercise, and mainly manifested as heavy limbs, fatigue and flaccidity, which is similar to the metabolic imbalance in the early stage of glucose or lipid metabolism disorder in modern medicine. Based on modern clinical and basic research evidence, Daoyin can inhibit the response of inflammation, alleviate oxidative stress, regulate intestinal microbiota, and modulate gene expression to improve metabolic abnormalities, and this will provide ideas for researches on the indications of Daoyin.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status and development needs of evidence-based medicine (EBM) capability in ethnic minority medicine, and explore effective strategies to enhance EBM capability in this field. MethodsThe questionnaire survey was conducted in various ethnic minority medical institutions and research organisations. The questionnaire covered three dimensions, firstly, perceptions and attitudes towards evidence-based medicine; secondly, advantages and challenges in the development of ethnic minority medicine; thirdly, demands and recommendations for enhancing evidence-based medicine capability in ethnic minority medicine. ResultsA total of 501 valid questionnaires were collected, of which 103 questionnaires were collected by re-sending to minority medicine regions with insufficient participation. The questionnaires included 354 responses (70.66%) from practitioners of minority medicine, including Tibetan medicine, Mongolian medicine, Uyghur medicine, Zhuang medicine, and Korean medicine. Among the 501 questionnaires, 146 respondents (29.14%) indicated that they knew about EBM, 355 respondents (70.86%) had either a "general understanding" or had "not heard about" EBM before, and 469 respondents (93.61%) believed that introducing ECM could promote the development of ethnic minority medicine. The primary challenge in promoting EBM in the field of ethnic minority medicine is the lack of professionals in EBM and a lack of understanding of how to apply it into clinical practice (442 respondents, 88.22%). In the 9-point importance rating for enhancing evidence-based abilities, high scores were achieved in standardization of clinical practice guidelines (7.50±1.90) and methods for sample sizes in clinical research (7.45±1.90). Regarding the demand for improving clinical research literacy, expert academic lectures, and experience sharing (404 respondents, 80.64%) and evidence-based methodology monographs on ethnic minority medicine (401 respondents, 80.04%) were emphasized. ConclusionsPractitioners in ethnic minority medicine hold a positive attitude towards integrating EBM. However, there remains substantial room for the education and dissemination of EBM. Enhancing evidence-based capabilities can be achieved through specific measures such as cultivating or recruiting talents in EBM, establishing evidence-based support platforms for clinical research, organizing regular academic lectures and exchanges, and strengthening the construction of theoretical frameworks and evaluation systems tailored to ethnic minority medicine, thereby following a path of evidence-based practices aligned with the unique characteristics of ethnic minority medicine.
