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.

Objective To explore the correlation of MET status in patients with advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma with the clinical pathological parameters and prognosis. Methods The specimen from 135 patients with advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma was included. The expression of c-MET protein was detected via immunohistochemistry, and MET gene amplification was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The relationships of c-MET expression and gene amplification with clinicopathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of c-MET was 52.60% (71/135). Compared with the c-MET expression in adjacent tissues, that in tumor tissues showed lower heterogeneous expression. Among the cases, 1.71% (2/117) exhibited MET gene polyploidy, but no gene amplification was detected. Positive c-MET expression was significantly correlated with high Gleason scores and grade groups (P=0.0073). However, no significant relationship was found between c-MET expression and progression-free survival or post-treatment t-PSA levels. Conclusion c-MET protein is expressed at a relatively low level in advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma, suggesting that c-MET may not be a viable target for ADC drug development in prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To assess the impact of the construction of smoke-free government on the smoking and cessation behaviors of staff members.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. The study used stratified random cluster sampling method to select 144 government institutions from 31 Provinces (Autonomous Regions and Municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. The survey was carried out between October and November, 2023 by filling out questionnaires online among the insiders of the institutions and all the smoking staff members. The main indicators included the number of smokers before and after the construction of smoke-free governments and the measures for the construction of smoke-free governments. 144 questionnaires from insiders were recovered, all of which were included in the analysis; 1 776 questionnaires from smokers were recovered, including 1 716 valid questionnaires. The SAS 9.4 was used to perform χ 2 test and log-binomial regression analysis. Results:The percentage of smoking staff members decreased from 8.81% before the construction to 6.70% after the construction, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=63.23, P<0.001). Comprehensive smoking ban in indoor public places ( OR=2.301, 95% CI: 1.433-3.694), punishment mechanism for smoking staff members ( OR=1.219, 95% CI: 1.124-1.322), smoking cessation competitions ( OR=1.865, 95% CI: 1.234-2.818) and reimbursement for or provision of smoking cessation medications ( OR=2.210, 95% CI: 1.002-4.874) were facilitators to motivate the smoking staff members to quit (all P<0.01). Numbers of smoking leaders ( OR=0.858, 95% CI: 0.807-0.913) and smoking years of smoking staff members ( OR=0.932, 95% CI: 0.918-0.946) negatively influenced the smoking staff members to quit (both P<0.001). Conclusions:The construction of smoke-free governments can effectively promote the smoking cessation behaviors of smoking staff members. In addition, comprehensive smoke-free policies, punishment mechanism for smoking staff members and activities such as smoking cessation competitions, and reimbursement for or provision of smoking cessation medications are important.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different Chinese patent medicine in improving blood lipid and microcirculation in coronary heart disease patients with phlegm-blood stasis syndrome based on network meta-analysis.Methods The randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of different Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of blood lipid and microcirculation in coronary heart disease patients with phlegm-blood stasis syndrome were collected by searching CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,SinoMed,PubMed,EMbase,Cochrane Library,and Web of science databases from the establishment of the database to April 3,2023.Literature quality evaluation and network meta-analysis were conducted using Review Manager 5.4 and Stata15.1 software.Results Thirty-seven RCTs were included,with a total sample size of 4 064 cases,involving 15 different Chinese patent medicines.The network meta-analysis showed that the efficacy of Chinese patent medicine combined with conventional Western medicine is often better than that of conventional Western medicine alone.There are no serious adverse reactions.The top three Chinese patent medicines with cumulative probability of total clinical efficacy were Guanmai Zaitong soft extract,Gualoupi Injection and Quyu Xiaoban Capsule.In terms of improving triglyceride(TG)and low-density lipoprotein(LDL-C),the top three Chinese patent medicines were Gualoupi Injection,Huxinkang Tablet and Guanxin Shutong Capsule.In terms of improving plasma viscosity and fibrinogen,the top three Chinese patent medicines were Ginkgo Damo Injection,Gualoupi Injection and Guanxin Shutong Capsule.In terms of improving endothelial function[nitric oxide(NO)and endothelin-1(ET-1)],the top three Chinese patent medicines were Ginkgo Damo Injection,Danlou Tablet and Tongmai Yuxin Pill.In terms of reducing inflammation hypersensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),the top three Chinese patent medicines were Ginkgo Damo Injection,Huxinkang Tablet and Guanxin Shutong Capsule.Conclusion The current evidence shows that the combination of TCM,which is used for the treatment of phlegm-blood stasis syndrome,with conventional Western medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease has advantages in improving clinical efficacy,blood lipids and microcirculation.TCM especially for the treatment of phlegm-blood stasis syndrome shows more obvious advantage,such as Guanmai Zaitong soft extract and Gualoupi injection,which can be taken into consideration as part of the clinical guidelines.However,due to the limited number and quality of the included literatures,the research results still need to be verified by more high-quality,multi-center,double-blind randomized trials.The purpose is to provide more reliable evidence-based medical reference.

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery(MINOCA)is a common acute coronary syn-drome in clinical practice.Its diagnosis is more difficult than general acute coronary syndrome,and may be difficult to distinguish from other non ischemic diseases that can cause similar symptoms and myocardial damage.Delayed treatment timing can have a significant detrimental effect on patients.This article provides a review of the clinical diagnosis and treatment progress of MINOCA,with the aim of providing guidance for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of compression rate(CR)of median nerve combined with Young's modulus value(E)in quantitatively evaluating median nerve injury of patients with dialysis-related amyloidosis(DRA).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 53 maintenance hemodialysis(HD)patients who admitted to department of blood purification of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital of Capital Medical University from November 2019 to October 2020,and they were divided into case group,and 60 volunteers who underwent physical examination at the outpatient of the department of ultrasound medicine were selected as healthy control group.Basic clinical data of the patients were collected.Based on the results of physical examination,the patients with dialysis were divided into a sign group(n=18)and a non-sign group(n=35).High-frequency ultrasound was used to measure the anteroposterior diameter of the median nerve at the entrance of the carpal tunnel and the protrusion of the distal radius in all subjects.The CR values of anteroposterior diameters were calculated.Shear Wave Velocity elastography(SWE)technique was employed to measure E values of the median nerves of compressed position.The differences in CR and E values between case group and healthy control group,as well as between sign group and non-sign group were respectively compared and analyzed.Furthermore,the diagnostic efficacies of CR alone,E value alone and their combination for median nerve injury were evaluated.Results:The CR and E values of median nerve of cases group were respectively(0.16±0.01)and(104.49±49.42)kPa,and they were respectively(0.07±0.05)and(42.47±15.64)kPa in health control group.The CR and E values of median nerve in case group were significantly higher than those in health control group(t=4.92,6.39,P<0.001),respectively.The CR and E values of the median nerve in the sign group of cases group were respectively(0.31±0.09)and(150.58±47.71)kPa,and those in the non-sign group of case group were respectively(0.10±0.09)and(87.95±38.73)kPa.The CR and E values of median nerve of the sign group were significantly higher than those in the non-sign group(t=7.78,4.89,P<0.001),respectively.The duration of the disease was positive correlation with E value and CR value of median nerve in HD patients who underwent dialysis(r=0.598,0.459,P<0.001),respectively.The area under curve (AUC) value of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the best CR cut-off value was 21％ and the E value was 76.22kpa in diagnosing median nerve injury,.and the AUC values of CR and E value were respectively 0.844 and 0.817,and the AUC value,sensitivity and specificity of the combine of them reached respectively 0.908,100％ and 89％. Conclusion:Both CR and E values of the median nerve can be used to evaluate the median nerve injury in patients with DRA,and the combination of them has a higher diagnostic efficiency. Conventional ultrasound and SWE elastography can be the preferred imaging methods for the evaluation of median nerve injury.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and potential mechanism of asperuloside （ASP） on colonic pathological injury and inflammatory response in rats with ulcerative colitis （UC） based on the stimulator of interferon genes （STING）/TANK binding kinase 1 （TBK1）/interferon regulatory factor 3 （IRF3） signaling pathway. METHODS A UC rat model was established by intrarectal injection of trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and ethanol. The successfully modeled rats were allocated to model group， low- dose ASP group （17.5 mg/kg）， high-dose ASP group （35 mg/kg）， and high-dose ASP+STING activator ADU-S100 group （35 mg/kg ASP+20 mg/kg ADU-S100）， with 16 rats in each group. Another 16 healthy rats were selected as control group， by intrarectally injecting with normal saline. The rats in each group were given the corresponding drug solutions or normal saline by gavage or/and intraperitoneal injection once a day for 14 consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the last administration， the disease activity index （DAI） and colonic mucosal damage index （CMDI） were employed to assess the severity of UC and colonic mucosal damage in each group. Colonic tissue pathological changes were observed， and histopathological scores were recorded. Apoptosis in colonic tissue， levels of inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interferon-β （IFN-β）， interleukin-4 （IL-4）， IL-10]， and expressions of pathway-related proteins [STING， TBK1， IRF3， nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65）] were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the model group showed severe destruction of colonic mucosa and glandular structure， mucosal epithelial erosion， crypt loss， marked inflammatory cell infiltration； it also demonstrated significant increase in DAI score， CMDI score， colonic histopathological score， apoptosis rate， the levels of TNF-α and IFN-β， and protein expression of STING and phosphorylation levels of TBK1， IRF3 and NF-κB p65， while the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the low- and high-dose ASP groups showed relatively intact colonic mucosal structure， orderly glandular arrangement， reduced congestion and edema， and markedly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and ulcers； all quantitative indicators were significantly improved， with the high-dose group showing more pronounced improvements than the low-dose group （P＜0.05）. Compared with the high-dose ASP group， the above indicators of rats in the high-dose ASP+STING activator group were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ASP may alleviate colonic pathological injury and inflammatory response in UC rats by inhibiting the STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling pathway.

Objective: To study the correlation between electronic screen use and myopia among primary and secondary school students in six provinces and cities in China, in order to provide a scientific basis for comprehensive prevention and control of myopia. Methods: From November 2020 to June 2022, a total of 16 557 primary and secondary school students from six provinces and cities in China (Beijing City, Liaoning Province, Zhejiang Province, Henan Province, Shaanxi Province, Chongqing City) were selected by stratified cluster random sampling and probability smampling methods, and a questionnaire prepared by Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention was used to investigate their electronic screen use. According to Screening Criteria for Myopia in Children and Adolescents, 0.5% mass concentration of compound topicamide eye drops was used to paralyze the ciliary muscle and undergo slit lamp optometry. Chisquare test was used to compare the differences between groups, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between electronic screen use and myopia. Results: About 58.3% of primary and secondary school students used electronic screens for more than two hours a day on average, and 63.4% of primary and secondary school students used continuously electronic products for more than 15 minutes at a time for nonstudy purposes. After adjusting for confounding factors, parents unrestricted use of electronic screen time and electronic screen time ≥2 h/d were positively correlated with myopia (OR=1.27, 1.13, P<0.05). Gender stratified analysis showed that boys who used electronic screen time ≥2 h/d had a higher risk of myopia (OR=1.15, P<0.05). The results of grade stratification analysis showed that parents unrestricted electronic screen use time and electronic screen time ≥2 h/d were positively correlated with myopia in the lower grade of primary school students (OR=1.34, 1.18, P<0.05). Among the higher grade of primary school students, continuous use of electronic screens for nonstudy purposes for more than 15 minutes at one time was positively correlated with myopia (OR=1.18, P<0.05). There was a multiplicative interaction between total screen time and one continuous screen time (OR=1.04, P<0.05). Conclusions Primary and secondary students in six provinces and cities in China reports excessive electronic screen usage which is associated with myopia. Schools and parents should jointly limit the use of electronic screen among primary and secondary students to reduce the occurrence of myopia.
