Based on the ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS) technology, combined with related literature, databases, and reference material information, this study qualitatively analyzed the components of Dayuanyin in the tissue of rats after gavage and employed molecular docking technology to predict the rationality of the mechanism behind the antipyretic effect of the in vivo components in Dayuanyin. A total of 21, 26, 20, 21, 14, and 31 prototype components and 3, 16, 3, 7, 5, and 24 metabolites were identified from the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and hypothalamus of the rats, respectively, and the binding ability of key components and targets was further verified by molecular docking. The results showed that all components had good binding ability with targets. The established UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS could effectively and quickly identify the Dayuanyin components distributed in tissue and preliminarily identify their metabolites. Many components were identified in the hypothalamus, which suggested that the components delivered to the brain should be focused on in the study on Dayuanyin in the treatment of febrile diseases. The molecular docking technology was used to predict the rationality of the mechanism behind its antipyretic effect, which lays the foundation for the clarification of the material basis and action mechanism of Dayuanyin, the development of new preparations, and the prediction of quality markers.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between school sports environment and physical activity levels of middle school students, so as to provide theoretical and empirical support for optimizing school sports environment and enhance adolescent physical activity.
Methods:
Using multi-stage random cluster sampling, from September to December 2023, 1 329 junior and senior high school students from Xuancheng City of Anhui Province, Lianyungang City of Jiangsu Province, Wuhan City of Hubei Province, Qiqihar City and Suihua City of Heilongjiang Province, and Shenzhen City of Guangdong Province were selected. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) assessed students physical activity levels, and the questionnaire on the characteristics of school sports environment was developed to evaluate the factors of school sports environment. Multivariate ordered Logistic regression was performed to analyze the correlation between school sports environment factors and physical activity levels, and the analytic hierarchy process determined the weight of key influencing factors.
Results:
The results showed that weekly vigorous physical activity time was [60 (25, 90)] minutes, moderate physical activity time was [60 (30, 90)] minutes, light physical activity time was [105 (40, 200)] minutes, and sedentary behavior time was [ 3 300 (2 100, 4 500)] minutes, only 10.53% of the students met World Health Organization physical activity recommendations, and 89.69% of the students averaged >8 h daily sedentary time. Multivariate ordered Logistic regression showed that adequate sports equipment significantly promoted physical activity across all intensities and reduced sedentary time ( OR = 4.97, 11.54, 4.03, 0.11); diverse sports activities improved vigorous and moderate physical activity while reducing sedentary time ( OR =4.20, 14.06, 0.17); and peer encouragement was associated with increased low-intensity physical activities and decreased sedentary time ( OR =10.40, 0.15)( P <0.05). The analytic hierarchy process weighting analysis identified the top three influential factors related to physical activity among middle school students: sufficient sports equipment, varied physical education activities, frequent peer encouragement, the influence weight accounts for 23.55% , 14.18% and 11.77% of the total, respectively.
Conclusion
Key school sports environmental factors for adolescent physical activity level include ensuring adequate sports equipment and class availability, diversifying activity content, fostering peer support, and cultivating an active sports culture and a comprehensive approach encourage students participation in extracurricular physical activities.

BackgroundThe prevalence of depression is elevated in elderly patients with diabetes, underscoring the critical importance of implementing early psychological intervention to improve their clinical outcomes.However, the cognitive function level of patients may limit the implementation of these intervention methods. While prior research has predominantly focused on interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy to mitigate the depressive symptoms in this demographic, the exploration of group reminiscence therapy as a therapeutic approach remains underrepresented in the existing literature. ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of group reminiscence therapy on depressive symptoms, cognitive function, and quality of life in elderly patients with diabetes and mild to moderate depression, so as to provide valuable insights for psychological intervention of elderly diabetic patients. MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted to recruit 80 elderly diabetic patients with mild to moderate depression attending the endocrine clinic of Northeast International Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023. Subjects were randomly allocated to either the study group or the control group using the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. Both groups received standard diabetes care and mental health education. Additionally, the study group participated in an 8-week group reminiscence therapy intervention, convening once weekly for 1.5 hours per session. Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Verbal Fluency Test (VFT), Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT) and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) were administered before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the study group exhibited a significantly lower HAMD-24 score compared with the control group (F=13.908, P<0.01). The study group also demonstrated better performance in cognitive assessments, as evidenced by increased percentages of correct responses and conceptual-level responses on the WCST, a greater number of correct words on the VFT, and a higher number of accurate responses on the SCWT, all in contrast to the control group (F=14.672, 17.000, 13.309, 21.672, P<0.01). The study group reported superior quality of life outcomes, with higher total GQOLI-74 scores and significant improvements in the domains of physical function, social function, psychological function, and material life status compared with the control group (F=33.098, 41.224, 16.320, 19.432, P<0.01). ConclusionGroup reminiscence therapy has the potential to alleviate depressive symptoms, enhance cognitive function and improve quality of life in elderly diabetic patients with mild to moderate depression.

Abstract
In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden between family function and decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 219 gastric cancer inpatients in Xinxiang Central Hospital of Henan Province from June 2023 to December 2024 as study subjects. Family Assessment Device, Chinese version of the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, Self-Perceived Burden Scale, and Decision Fatigue Scale were used to conduct the survey. The chain mediating effect were tested using Model 6 in the SPSS PROCESS program.Results:Family function, self-management efficacy, self-perceived burden and decision fatigue scores of gastric cancer patients were (73.08±8.47), (90.15±14.33), (31.64±6.55), and (19.23±3.05), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age, education level, per capita monthly family income, tumor stage and treatment method were the influencing factors of decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that family function was negatively correlated with self-management efficacy ( P<0.05) and positively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-management efficacy was negatively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-perceived burden was positively correlated with decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and the differences of the above were statistically significant. Mediating effect analysis showed that family function positively predicted decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, with a direct effect of 0.117, accounting for 62.57% of the total effect. Self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden realized the mediating effect between family function and decision fatigue through three mediating pathways. Mediating pathway 1 was family function → self-management efficacy → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.032, which accounted for 17.11% of the total effect. Mediating pathway 2 was family function→ self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.026, which accounted for 13.90% of the total effect. Mediating path 3 was family function → self-management efficacy → self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.012, accounting for 6.42% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 0.070, accounting for 37.43% of the total effect. Conclusions:Family function can not only directly influence decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, but also indirectly influence decision fatigue through the mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden. Decision fatigue of gastric cancer patients could be reduced in the future by improving family function, increasing patients' self-management efficacy, and reducing their self-perceived burden.

Objectives:To investigate the mechanism underlying the protective effects of polydatin(PD)a-gainst oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD)-induced neuronal injury and acute spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods:The mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22 was used in in vitro experiments.The cytotoxicity of PD was assessed using the CCK-8 assay:cells were treated with 0,1,3,10,30 and 100μM PD for 24h to de-termine the safe concentration range.After OGD modeling(24h),cells were treated with different concentrations of PD(0,3,10,and 30μM),and cell viability was measured via CCK-8 to identify the optimal protective concentration.Autophagy markers(LC3 and P62)were detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot(WB);Autophagosome formation was observed using transmission electron microscopy;And the apoptosis rate was e valuated by TUNEL staining.For in vivo studies,an acute SCI model was established in C57BL/6 mice using Allen's impact method.Animals were divided into sham,SCI model,and PD treatment(20mg/kg)groups,with n=10 per group.Tissues were collected on 7d and 14d post-injury.Spinal cord pathology was examined by HE staining on 7d and 14d.Immunofluorescence was performed on 14d to evaluate glial scar formation(GFAP+),neuronal survival(MAP2+),cell proliferation(BrdU+),and autophagy level(LC3 Ⅱ).Results:In vitro results showed that 1-100μM PD did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity toward HT22 cells.The optimal concentration of PD was determined to be 10μ M after OGD induction.Compared with the OGD group,10μM PD significantly enhanced cell viability after OGD[OGD group:(54.63±3.90)%vs OGD+PD(1 0μ M)group:(84.35±1.38)%,P<0.05]and effectively attenuated autophagy activation,as evidenced by a decreased LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰratio(OGD group:11.0±0.57 vs OGD+PD group:3.50±0.28,P<0.05),increased P62 accumulation(OGD group:0.55±0.04 vs OGD+PD group:0.93±0.06,P<0.05),reduced number of autolysosomes,and significantly lower apoptosis rate[OGD group:(35.33±2.6)%vs OGD+PD group:(19.67±1.76)%,P<0.05].In vivo,HE staining confirmed that pathological damage in spinal cord tissue was markedly alleviated in the PD-treated group compared with the SCI model group.Immunofluorescence results indicated that PD treatment inhibited fibrous scar formation(SCI group:2.32±0.19mm2 vs PD group:1.07±0.24mm2,P<0.05),reduced neuronal damage(SCI group:1.72±0.28mm vs PD group:0.93±0.12mm,P<0.05)and promoted cell proliferation[SCI group:(16.14±2.24)%vs PD group:(39.09±3.16)%,P<0.05],and downregulated LC3 Ⅱ expression(SCI group:62.81±5.25 vs PD group:34.09±3.98,P<0.05).Conclusions:PD ameliorates neural damage by concurrently suppressing autophagy and apoptosis,providing a dual-pathway therapeutic strategy for SCI.
