Objective: To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Beijing from 2019 to 2023, in order to provide a scientific basis for interventions targeting high risk groups. Methods: From 2019 to 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 88 927 junior and senior high school students from 16 districts in Beijing. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D) was conducted to assess depressive symptoms. The Chi square test was used to compare the detection rates of depressive symptoms among different student groups, and the trend Chi square test was employed for trend analysis of detection rates across the years. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to examine the association between the detection of depressive symptoms and related factors among junior and senior high school students. Results: From 2019 to 2023, the prevalence rates of depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Beijing were 20.45%, 18.19%, 16.64%, 17.89% and 18.17%, respectively, with an overall downward trend ( χ 2 trend =27.51, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for gender, monitoring year, educational stage,family structure,boarding status and has taken a medical leave of absence in the past year unhealthy dietary behaviors ( OR=1.80, 95%CI =1.73-1.87), physical inactivity ( OR=1.24, 95%CI =1.19-1.29), try smoking ( OR=1.46, 95%CI =1.35-1.58), try alcohol( OR=1.96, 95%CI =1.88-2.05), Internet addiction ( OR=3.88, 95%CI =3.57-4.22), and adverse ear related behavior ( OR=1.82, 95%CI =1.71-1.93) were all associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students (all P <0.05). Conclusions The prevalence depression symptoms among middle school students in Beijing showed a fluctuating downward trend from 2019 to 2023. Targeted interventions should be adopted to reduce the occurrence of depression symptoms among junior and senior high school students.

Based on the theory of diseased collaterals and the progression pattern of diabetic kidney disease （DKD）， this paper proposes a staged treatment system based on the "three states of kidney collaterals" including collateral distention， collateral bi （痹） and collateral accumulation. In the collateral distention stage， the primary pathogenesis is heat damaging the kidney collaterals and collateral vessel dilation， corresponding to the early state of DKD characterized by hyperfiltration and microalbuminuria； the clearing method is suggested， and Shenling Jiangtang Formula （参苓降糖方） can be used to promote the remission of proteinuria by ameliorating insulin resistance and regulating intestinal microecology. In the collateral bi stage， the core pathogenesis lies in the binding of phlegm and stasis， and the formation of concretions and conglomerations in the kidney collaterals， corresponding to massive proteinuria and the decline of renal function， for which the unblocking method should be taken， using Jinchan Yishen Tongluo Formula （金蝉益肾通络方） and Qingre Xiaozheng Formula （清热消癥方） to alleviate renal pathological damage by regulating the autophagy-lysosome pathway and repairing mitochondrial energy metabolism. The collateral accumulation stage is characterized by the internal retention of turbid toxins and accumulations of concretions in the kidney collaterals， corresponding to renal fibrosis and end-stage renal disease （ESRD）； the dispersion method is suggested， and Yiqi Tongluo Xiezhuo Formula （益气通络泄浊方） and Shenyan Fangshuai Fluid （肾炎防衰液） can be used to inhibit extracellular matrix accumulation and delay the progressive loss of renal function. Collateral deficiency runs through the entire course of the disease and is closely related to cellular senescence and the imbalance of the ubiquitin-proteasome/autophagy system. The concept of the "three states of kidney collaterals" integrates the evolution of traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis with modern pathological staging， forming a whole-course intervention system of "staging-syndrome differentiation-target-formula"， thereby providing novel insights for prevention and treatment of DKD using integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of total saponins of Dioscoreae Nipponicae Rhizoma （TSDN） in treating gouty arthritis （GA） by regulating cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2）-mediated M1 macrophage reprogramming by in vivo and in vitro experiments. MethodsIn vivo experiment： 24 male SD rats were randomly allocated into blank， model （GA）， TSDN， and celecoxib groups， with 6 rats in each group. After 7 days of administration， pathological changes in the ankle synovial tissue were observed via hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to quantify the mRNA levels of NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome， apoptosis-associated speck-like protein （ASC）， Caspase-1， COX-2， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the synovial tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to measure the serum levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）， IL-1β， CD86， CD80， CD206， and arginase-1 （Arg-1）. In vitro experiment： The GA model was established by lipopolysaccharide （LPS） + MSU induction， and the inhibitor concentration was screened by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） assay. RAW264.7 cells were allocated into blank， model， TSDN， dexamethasone， COX-2 inhibitor （celecoxib）， and TSDN + COX-2 inhibitor groups. The levels of iNOS， IL-1β， CD86， CD80， CD206， and Arg-1 in the cell supernatant of each group were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The mRNA and protein levels of NLRP3 inflammasome， COX-2， IL-1β， and TNF-α in each group were determined by Real-time PCR and Western blot， respectively. ResultsIn vivo experiment： compared with the model group， TSDN reduced the mRNA levels of NLRP3 inflammasome， COX-2， IL-1β， and TNF-α in the synovial tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ELISA results showed that TSDN lowered the serum levels of iNOS， IL-1β， CD86， and CD80 （P<0.01） while increasing the serum levels of CD206 and Arg-1 （P<0.01）. In vitro experiment： compared with the model group， TSDN and inhibitor down-regulated the mRNA levels of NLRP3 inflammasome， COX-2， IL-1β， and TNF-α and the protein levels of NLRP3 inflammasome， COX-2， cleaved IL-1β， and TNF-α （P<0.01）. Compared with TSDN alone， TSDN + COX-2 inhibitor further reduced the mRNA and protein levels of the markers above （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， TSDN and COX-2 inhibitor decreased the levels of IL-1β， iNOS， CD80， and CD86 （P<0.01） and increased the levels of CD206 and Arg-1 （P<0.01） in cells. Compared with TSDN alone， TSDN + COX-2 inhibitor reduced IL-1β， iNOS， CD80， and CD86 levels （P<0.05， P<0.01） and elevated CD206 and Arg-1 levels （P<0.01） in cells. ConclusionTSDN can alleviate GA by downregulating COX-2-mediated M1 macrophage reprogramming and suppressing the inflammatory factors.

Diabetic kidney disease （DKD） is one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease. Both traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and western medicine have their own advantages in the prevention and treatment of DKD， but there are also many difficulties. By analysis of the difficulties faced by TCM and western medicine in the differentiation and treatment of DKD， based on the theory of "miniature masses in the renal collaterals"， combined with long-term clinical practice， "internal heat leading to mass" is proposed as the core pathogenesis of DKD. Therefore， a trinity model of "disease-syndrome-symptom" for differentiation and treatment of DKD based on the core pathogenesis has been proposed. This model highlights the status of the core pathogenesis of "internal heat leading to mass" in DKD， and conducts a three-dimensional identification from the perspectives of disease， syndrome and symptom， so as to inspire clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of adverse treatment outcome of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients and influencing factors in 9 provinces in China.Methods:The information about the basic characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of RR-TB patients registered from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 in 9 provinces (Beijing, Jilin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Henan, Yunnan and Guizhou) were collected from the tuberculosis information management sub-system of China Disease Control and Prevention Information System for a descriptive analysis, and the influencing factors of adverse treatment outcome were identified by binary logistic regression analysis.Results:In 18 204 RR-TB patients in this study a total of 6 852 had adverse treatment outcomes (37.64%). Treatment failure occurred in 1 031 patients, 1 272 patients died, 2 284 patients were lost to follow-up, and 2 265 patients were not evaluated. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being man (a OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.43-1.66), age ≥65 years (a OR=2.42, 95% CI: 2.20-2.67), being from other ethnic groups (a OR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.03-1.35), being farmer (a OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.13-1.32), being retired with honours or being retired (a OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.00-1.35) and being floating population (a OR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.13-1.34), re-treatment (a OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.24-1.42), long-term treatment therapy (a OR=3.26, 95% CI: 2.52-4.23), living in central provinces (a OR=2.76, 95% CI: 2.55-2.99), living in western provinces (a OR=2.31, 95% CI: 2.08-2.57) were the influencing factors for adverse treatment outcome of RR-TB. Conclusions:The incidence of adverse outcomes in RR-TB patients in 9 provinces in China was higher from 2017 to 2021. There were many influencing factors associated with adverse treatment outcome in RR-TB patients, especially the area specific factors. The national tuberculosis control program should strengthen the follow-up and treatment management of RR-TB in men, the elderly, floating population, people in central and western provinces and other key groups, actively promote the short-term treatment program and improve the allocation of medical resources to reduce the influencing for adverse treatment outcomes in RR-TB patient.

Objective To explore the effect of resistance exercise on glycolipid metabolism in over-weight or obese people,with the aim of providing reference for the clinical development of appropriate resist-ance exercise programs.Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,EmBase,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and VIP database were systematically searched to obtain the relevant litera-ture on the effects of resistance exercise on glucose and lipid metabolism from the establishment of the library to December 31,2023 in overweight and obese populations.The type of literature was limited to randomized controlled studies in which the exercise intervention included resistance exercise in the test group but did not include resistance exercise in the control group.The literature was screened by 2 researchers according to in-clusion and exclusion criteria and relevant data were extracted.Meta-analysis of included literature was per-formed using RevMan 5.3 software,and publication bias was assessed using funnel plots.Results A total of 17 papers and 700 study subjects were included,with 351 cases in the test group,and 349 cases in the control group.Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the control group,the glycosylated hemoglobin of the test group with resistance exercise[SMD(95％CI)=-0.30(-0.53--0.07),P=0.010],fasting blood glucose[SMD(95％CI)=-0.58(-0.90--0.26),P＜0.001],insulin re-sistance index[SMD(95％CI)=-0.90(-1.42--0.38),P＜0.001],and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)[SMD(95％CI)=-0.28(-0.53--0.04),P=0.020]levels were reduced.Subgroup analysis showed that the glucose metabolism levels of the test group with only resistance exercise and a combination of resistance-anaerobic exercise were significantly lower than those of the control group(both P＜0.05).The heterogeneity of the effect of resistance exercise on glucose metabolism in Asian popu-lations(I2=57％)was smaller than that in Caucasion(I2=76％)and other populations(I2=94％),and the level of decrease in glucose metabolism indexes was significant[SMD(95％CI)=-1.15(-1.73--0.57),P＜0.001].Conclusion Resistance exercise can significantly reduce the level of glycolipid me-tabolism indexes in overweight or obese people.

Objective To explore the factors affecting the success rate of operation in patients with end-stage renal disease by analyzing and comparing the differences of patients'basic conditions and clinical laboratory data.Methods A total of 107 patients who underwent forearm autogenous arteriovenous fistula surgery in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture People's Hospital from January 2021 to August 2024 were selected and divided into AVF failure group and AVF success group according to whether internal fistula occluded during the operation or within 1 week after the operation.The basic data and clinical laboratory data of enrolled patients were collected.Correlation statistical methods were used to compare whether there were differences between the two indexes.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in smoking history,diabetes history,nephritic syndrome history,gender,preoperative blood pressure,hemoglobin,low density lipoprotein and total cholesterol(P<0.05).However,There was no significant difference between the two in history,age,white blood cell count,neutrophil count,lymphocyte count,monocyte count,platelet,creatinine,urea nitrogen,triglyceride,blood calcium,blood phosphorus,calcium-phosphorus product,fibrinogen,D-dimer and albumin(P>0.05).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that gender,diabetes history,nephritic syndrome history,preoperative blood pressure,hemoglobin and low-density lipoprotein were independent risk factors for AVF initiation failure(P<0.05).Conclusion Female patients,history of diabetes mellitus,history of nephrotic syndrome,low hemoglobin,elevated low-density lipoprotein,and poor blood pressure control are independent factors affecting the failure of AVF initiation.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of ginsenoside Rb3 on experimental periodontitis and bone resorption in rats. METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, a ligation group, an Rb3 group, and a doxycycline (Dox) group for in vivo experiments. A periodontitis model was established by ligating the maxillary second molar, and samples were collected after 3 weeks of drug treatment. Micro-CT assessment of alveolar bone resorption was performed, and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe pathological changes in periodontal and visceral tissues. Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was applied to detect the formation of osteoclasts in periodontal tissues, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was adopted to detect the serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, immunoglobulin (Ig)M, and IgG. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was employed to detect the expression of factors related to gingival inflammation and osteoclast formation. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) expression. In vitro experiments were conducted by pretreating RAW264.7 cells with drugs and adding lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulation from Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA expression was detected by qPCR, and Western blot was used to detect the effect of Rb3 on the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling pathway. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the ligation group showed significant periodontitis and bone resorption. Compared with the ligation group, the Rb3 group showed a decrease in alveolar bone resorption and osteoclast formation; p-ERK/ERK ratio, IL-1β, IL-6, and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc1) mRNA levels and downstream gene expression in periodontal tissues; serum IL-6, IL-8, IgG, and IgM levels. Rb3 reduced IL-8 and IL-1β mRNA expression levels and p-ERK/ERK and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK ratios in RAW264.7 cells induced by P. gingivalis LPS stimulation. CONCLUSIONS Rb3 inhibits inflammation and bone resorption in experimental periodontitis in rats. Compared with Dox, Rb3 has better effects in inhibiting pro-inflammatory factors and osteoclast gene expression and may exert anti-inflammatory effects by activating the MAPK signaling pathway.
