Objective: To examine the characteristics of physical activity among secondary vocational school students and its associations with depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and their co-existence, so as to provide evidence for promoting their mental health. Methods: From September to December 2024, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 5 141 secondary vocational school students using convenience sampling method across 16 secondary vocational schools in 8 provinces/municipalities, including Fujian, Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shanghai and Zhejiang. A self designed questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 were used to assess basic information, physical activity characteristics, and depressive and anxiety symptoms. Chi-square test and Logistic regression model were used to analyze the associations of physical activity characteristics with depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and their co-existence. Results: Among secondary vocational school students, 22.2% had depressive symptoms, 12.2% had anxiety symptoms, and 10.5% had both conditions. After adjustment for confounding factors such as sex, grade, and family structure, Logistic regression analyses showed that a high physical activity level, meeting the recommendation for daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and a concentrated physical activity pattern were associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and their co-existence ( OR =0.70-0.81, all P <0.05). Regular weekly MVPA and a regular physical activity pattern were associated only with lower odds of depressive symptoms ( OR =0.79, 0.70, both P <0.05). Sex stratified analyses showed that meeting the recommendation for daily MVPA and a concentrated physical activity pattern were associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and their co-existence among boys ( OR =0.60-0.71); a high physical activity level, regular weekly MVPA, and a regular physical activity pattern were associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms among boys ( OR =0.65-0.78)(all P <0.05). Meanwhile, a high physical activity level, meeting the recommendation for daily MVPA, regular weekly MVPA, and regular and concentrated physical activity patterns were associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms in female students ( OR =0.72-0.79) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Physical activity characteristics are associated with depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and their co-existence among secondary vocational school students. Schools should optimize physical activity promotion strategies according to sex specific characteristics to reduce the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms among secondary vocational school students.

Objective: To analyze the compliance status of physical fitness indicator and lifestyle characteristics among secondary vocational school students, as well as their associations, so as to provide a reference for physical fitness promotion among secondary vocational school students. Methods: Using a convenience sampling method, a questionnaire survey and physical fitness tests were conducted from September to December 2024 among 5 141 secondary vocational school students recruited from 16 secondary vocational schools across 8 provinces/municipalities in China, including Fujian, Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shanghai and Zhejiang. Data on lifestyle factors were collected using a self designed questionnaire combined with standardized scales, including dietary habits, unhealthy behaviors, and 24 hour behaviors (physical activity, screen time, and sleep behavior). Multivariable Logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations of individual lifestyle behaviors and clustering of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors with non-compliance in physical fitness indicators among secondary vocational school students. Results: The compliance rates for waist circumference, vital capacity, grip strength, standing long jump, 30 second sit ups, 20 meter shuttle run, 50 meter dash, sit and reach, 20 second side steps among secondary vocational school students were 55.9%, 89.6%, 81.8%, 79.4%, 77.8%, 61.4%, 87.0%, 12.6%, and 63.5%, respectively, with a non-overweight/obesity rate of 78.9%. The reporting rates of daily breakfast consumption, milk consumption, and vegetable consumption were 58.9%, 18.3%, and 37.5%, respectively. The reporting rates of frequent takeout consumption, frequent sugar sweetened beverage consumption, smoking, alcohol drinking, insufficient moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), excessive screen time, and insufficient sleep were 30.0%, 43.8%, 8.4%, 15.8%, 42.9%, 90.8%, and 42.6%, respectively. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that secondary vocational school students with insufficient MVPA had higher risks of non-compliance in vital capacity, grip strength, standing long jump, 30 second sit ups, 20 meter shuttle run, 50 meter dash, and 20 second side steps ( OR =1.22- 1.60 ); secondary vocational school students who consumed breakfast daily had lower risks of non-compliance in vital capacity and overweight/obesity ( OR =0.81, 0.85); daily vegetable consumption was associated with a lower risk of vital capacity non-compliance ( OR =0.72); frequent takeout consumption was associated with an increased risk of non-compliance in the sit and reach test ( OR =1.28); smoking was associated with increased risks of non-compliance in the 20 meter shuttle run and 20 second side steps ( OR =1.38, 1.58) (all P <0.05). Regarding the clustering of unhealthy behaviors, secondary vocational school students with 4- 5 clustered unhealthy behaviors had higher risks of non-compliance in waist circumference and standing long jump; those with≥6 clustered behaviors had higher risks of non-compliance in standing long jump, 20 meter shuttle run, and 20 second side step ( OR = 1.17-1.36, all P <0.05). Conclusions The clustering of unhealthy behaviors is negatively associated with physical fitness status among secondary vocational school students. Secondary vocational schools should prioritize the promotion of comprehensive lifestyle management to improve the physical fitness levels of secondary vocational school students.

The observation of eye expression is an important aspect of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis.Traditional Chinese medicine proposes the original proposition that"the eyes are the messenger of the heart",suggesting that eye expression reflects the external manifestation of mental consciousness and cognitive activities.Research has shown that eye expression can directly reflect brain function and cognitive abilities,serving as a biological marker for pathological changes in brain structure and playing an important role in early diagnosis of mental disorders.In recent years,scholars have paid increasing attention to eye tracking technology as an objective tool for measuring eye expression.This paper outlines the theoretical basis of using traditional Chinese medicine's observation of eye expression for diagnosing mental disorders,and analyzes the current application status of eye tracking technology in diagnosing conditions such as depression,schizophrenia,and autism spectrum disorder.It is hoped that this review will provide insights for future research on applying objective methods to traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis through observing eye expressions.

Objective:To quantify thoracic and abdominal movements during breathing using inertial measurement units (IMUs) and to build a machine learning model which identifies the abdominal breathing (AB) pattern.Methods:Ten rehabilitation therapists formed the study′s professional group, while 15 patients receiving AB training comprised the validation group. Two synchronized IMUs were applied to capture breathing motions during natural breathing (NB), deep breathing (DB) and AB. Six kinematic features were extracted from each respiratory cycle, and inter-group and inter-pattern differences were analyzed. Correlation analysis was also performed with manually measured changes in thoracic and abdominal circumferences. A support vector classification model for AB pattern detection was then developed using data from the professional and validation groups.Results:A total of 1113 respiratory cycles were extracted and analyzed. The breathing pattern significantly influenced all of the kinematic features studied (0.21≤partial η 2≤0.65, all P≤0.001). The ranges of the angles in medial-lateral axis of the IMUs showed strong correlation with the changes in abdominal and thoracic circumferences (ρ1=0.928, ρ2=0.807, P≤0.001 in both cases). A greater range of abdominal angles was found during AB compared to the other patterns. The best of the models achieved an F1 score of 0.970 (sensitivity: 0.983, specificity: 0.980) in validation. Conclusions:AB generates the greatest abdominal movement. Combining IMUs and machine learning can provide real-time quantification of chest movement and accurate detection of AB during breathing training.

Objective:To explore baseline clinical and imaging characteristics of children with neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke based on their long-term motor function prognoses.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG) findings, were collected from 31 neonates diagnosed with ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neonataology, Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province between January 2015 and December 2019. Unified follow-up was conducted between May and July 2024. Long-term motor function outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin scale(mRS) and categorized into two groups: the good motor function group (mRS score 0-1) and the motor impairment group (mRS score≥2).Baseline clinical and imaging data were summarized for all children, and differences between the two groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher′s exact test. Results:A total of 31 neonates (21 males, 10 females) with an admission age of 1-19 days, all diagnosed within 28 days of birth, were included. At follow-up, 4-8 years after disease onset, 26 neonates (84%) showed good motor function, while 5 (16%) had motor impairments. Compared to the good motor function group, the motor impairment group had higher proportions of females (4/5 vs. 23% (6/26)), main middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction (4/5 vs. 19% (5/26)), basal ganglia involvement (4/5 vs. 27% (7/26)), corticospinal tract involvement (posterior limb of internal capsule (PLIC) 5/5 vs. 38% (10/26) and cerebral peduncles 5/5 vs. 31% (8/26)) shown by MRI images, and meconium-stained amniotic fluid (4/5 vs. 15% (4/26))(all P<0.05).No significant differences were observed in gestational age, birth weight, abnormalities in muscle tone or primitive reflexes at admission or discharge, or abnormal EEG findings (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke commonly manifests as seizures, which are generally controllable, with a relatively stable clinical course and a low incidence of long-term motor impairment. Children with long-term motor impairments are more likely to have main MCA infarction, basal ganglia and corticospinal tract involvement (PLIC and cerebral peduncles), as well as meconium-stained amniotic fluid. This condition is also more commonly observed in females.

In recent years,the Ross procedure has been increasingly applied in the treatment of aortic valve disease in children and young patients.However,right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT)reconstruction in this procedure often relies on allogeneic or artificial materials,which may lead to complications such as calcification and valve dysfunction.This article reports a case of protective Ross procedure using completely autologous tissue to construct a right ventricular-pulmonary artery(RV-PA)conduit.The patient was an 11-year-old male who presented with severe aortic stenosis combined with regurgitation.During the operation,his dilated ascending aortic wall and fresh pericardium were used to construct an autologous valved conduit for RV-PA reconstruction.This innovative technique achieves RV-PA reconstruction without allogeneic tissue,provides a new technical approach for the Ross procedure.Short-term results are satisfactory and the medium-and long-term outcomes require further follow-up verification.
