Objective: To analyze the associations of physical activity with overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide reference for optimizing physical activity intervention strategies and promoting healthy lifestyles. Methods: From March to November 2023, a cross sectional survey was conducted among 90 457 junior and senior high school students aged 11-18 years in Zhejiang Province using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Data on physical activity and dietary behavior were collected through questionnaires, height and weight were measured. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The Chi-square test was used to examine differences, and Logistic regression was applied to evaluate the associations of physical activity characteristics with overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence. Additionally, the effectiveness of physical activity performed on rest days versus work days was examined. Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence among junior and senior high school students were 25.1%, 27.9%, and 6.7%, respectively, with significant sex differences ( χ 2=2 005.3, 587.7, 99.6, all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that students with insufficient physical activity had a higher risk of overweight/obesity compared with those with sufficient physical activity ( OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.06-1.17, P <0.01). Comparing to students who exercised 0-1 day per week, those who exercised 5-7 days per week were associated with a reduced risk of overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms ( OR=0.93, 95%CI =0.90-0.97; OR=0.95, 95%CI =0.91-0.99, both P <0.05). When total activity volume and frequency were held constant, students with sufficient rest day physical activity had lower risks of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence than those with insufficient rest day activity (all P < 0.01). Conclusions Sufficient amount of physical activity and higher frequency of rest day physical activity are significantly associated with lower risks of overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, and their co-occurrence in adolescents. Physical activity performed on rest days may confer greater health benefits than activity performed on work days.

OBJECTIVE To explore the improvement effect and potential mechanism of ginsenoside F1 （GF1） on allergic rhinitis （AR） rats based on the mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） pathway. METHODS Male SD rats were divided into a control group （ n ＝15） and a modeling group （ n ＝55）. The AR rat model was established by basic sensitization with ovalbumin followed by local challenge. The successfully modeled rats were randomly assigned to the AR group， low-dose GF1 group [2.5 mg/（kg·d） ] ， high-dose GF1 group [5 mg/（kg·d） ] ， loratadine group （positive control， 1.5 mg/（kg·d） ] ， and high-dose GF1+MAPK activator group [5 mg/（kg·d） GF1+0.2 nmol C16-PAF ] ， with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 rats from the control group were randomly selected as the blank control group. Rats in each group received corresponding drug solutions or normal saline via intranasal instillation and/or oral gavage once daily for 28 consecutive days. After the final administration， AR symptoms were observed and rhinitis symptom scores were assessed. Histopathological changes of the nasal mucosa were examined. The number of inflammatory cells in nasal lavage fluid， serum levels of inflammatory cytokines [interleukin-4 （IL-4）， IL-17， interferon-γ （IFN-γ） ] and immunoglobulin E （IgE）， as well as the density of goblet cells， the number of mast cells， and the expression of MAPK/STAT3 pathway-related proteins in nasal mucosal tissues were measured. RESULTS Compared with the blank control group， the AR group exhibited marked pathological damage to the nasal mucosal epithelium， characterized by interstitial edema and inflammatory cell infiltration. The rhinitis symptom score， the number of macrophages， lymphocytes， eosinophils， neutrophils and mast cells， the density of goblet cells， the levels of IL-4， IL-17 and IgE， as well as the protein phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and STAT3 were significantly increased or elevated， while the level of IFN-γ was significantly decreased in the AR group （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the AR group， all administration groups showed recovery of nasal mucosal epithelial pathological damage and significant improvements in all quantitative indicators， with the high-dose GF1 group and loratadine group showing more pronounced improvements than the low-dose GF1 group （ P ＜0.05）. C16-PAF significantly reversed the ameliorative effects of GF1 on all quantitative indicators （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS GF1 can alleviate rhinitis symptoms in AR rats and inhibit inflammatory responses， which may be related to the inhibition of the MAPK/STAT3 pathway activation.

Objective: Accurate evaluation of inflammation severity in ulcerative colitis (UC) can guide treatment strategy selection. The potential value of the pericolic fat attenuation index (FAI) on CT as an indicator of disease severity remains unknown.This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of pericolic FAI in predicting UC severity. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 148 patients (mean age 48 years; 87 males). The fat attenuation on CT was measured in four different locations: the mesocolic vascular side (MS) and opposite side of MS (OMS) around the most severe bowel lesion, the retroperitoneal space (RS), and the subcutaneous area. The fat attenuation indices (FAI MS, FAI OMS, and FAI RS) were calculated as the fat attenuation measured in MS, OMS, and RS, respectively, minus that of the subcutaneous area, and were obtained in the non-enhanced, arterial, and delayed phases. Correlations between the FAI and UC Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) were assessed using Spearman’s correlation. Predictors of severe UC (UCEIS ≥7) were selected by univariable analysis. The performance of FAI in predicting severe UC was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: The FAIMS and FAI OMS scores were significantly higher than FAI RS in three phases (all P < 0.001). The FAIMS and FAI OMS scores moderately correlated with the UCEIS score (r = 0.474–0.649 among the three phases). Additionally, FAI MS and FAI OMS identified severe UC, with AUC varying from 0.77 to 0.85. Conclusion Increased CT attenuation of pericolic adipose tissue could serve as a noninvasive marker for evaluating UC severity. FAI MS and FAI OMS of three phases showed similar prediction accuracies for severe UC identification.

The clinical antiprotozoal drug nitazoxanide has been demonstrated to improve the experimental diabetes mellitus, lipid metabolism disorders, atherosclerosis and inhibit inflammation. Since the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection (HFpEF) is multifactorial and closely associated with the aforementioned diseases, we aim to study the effect of nitazoxanide on high-fat diet (HFD) plus L-NAME (N ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester)-induced HFpEF and metabolic syndrome in mice. We found that oral nitazoxanide improved cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac fibrosis, cardiac diastolic dysfunction, increased blood pressure, impaired exercise tolerance, impaired glucose handling, serum lipid disorders, hepatic steatosis, increased weight of white adipose tissues and kidney fibrosis in HFD + L-NAME-treated mice. In the established HFD + L-NAME-induced HFpEF and metabolic syndrome mouse model, therapeutic treatment with nitazoxanide rescued HFD + L-NAME-induced pathological phenotypes as mentioned above. The in vitro experiments revealed that tizoxanide, the active metabolite of nitazoxanide, increased the basal mitochondria metabolism of cardiomyocytes, inhibited cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and collagen secretion from cardiac fibroblasts, and relaxed phenylephrine- and U46619-induced constriction of rat mesenteric arteries, indicating that the direct effect of tizoxanide might partly contribute to the protective effect of nitazoxanide against HFpEF in vivo. The present study suggests that nitazoxanide might be a potential drug for HFpEF and metabolic syndrome therapy.

Objective: To investigate the correlations among clinicopathological features, histopathological growth patterns and prognosis of extrapulmonary multiple metastatic(stage ⅣB) pulmonary adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutations. Methods : A total of 488 eligible patients with adenocarcinoma of stage ⅣB. Clinicopathological data,EGFRgene mutation subtypes, metastatic sites, histopathological growth patterns and survival information were collected. The chi-square test(χ2test) and Fisher's exact probability method were used to detect the correlation between the metastasis status and various clinical characteristics; the Kaplan-Meier method was used to conduct survival analysis on the median Progression-Free Survival(PFS) under different clinical characteristics. Cox univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the impact of various clinical characteristics on prognosis. Results : The metastatic patterns of stage ⅣB pulmonary adenocarcinoma withEGFRmutations was correlated with histopathological growth patterns(P<0.05). In the group with multiple metastases in a single organ, the proportion of micropapillary type in the group with multiple metastases in a single organ was higher than that in the group with multiple-organ metastases(51.1%vs41.1%), while the proportion of solid type in the group with multiple-organ metastases was higher than that in the group with multiple metastases in a single organ(23.8%vs14.2%). Multiple brain or multiple bone metastases were correlated with histopathological growth patterns and tumor differentiation degree. Compared with the multiple bone metastases group, the proportion of acinar type decreases in the multiple brain metastasis group, while the proportion of micropapillary type increased. Moreover, the proportion of poorly differentiated tumors increased significantly(P<0.05). Compared with multiple bone metastases, the proportion of poorly differentiated tumors significantly increases in the group with multiple brain metastases. The median progression-free survival(PFS) of patients with a predominant solid growth pattern was shorter than that of patients with other growth patterns(12.7 monthsvs17.8 months,P<0.05). The PFS of patients in the poorly differentiated group was worse than that in the moderately differentiated group(15.6 monthsvs17.8 months,P<0.05). There were significant differences in PFS among patients with common sensitive mutations and rare mutationsEGFR(17.3 monthsvs10.2 months,P<0.01). Cox proportional hazards regression model suggested that solid growth pattern, poor differentiation and rare single gene mutation were adverse prognostic factors. Conclusion In stage ⅣB pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients withEGFRmutations, both the metastatic patterns and metastatic sites are significantly correlated with the histopathological growth patterns of tumors. Moreover, theEGFRmutation subtypes as well as the histopathological growth patterns and differentiation degree of tumors significantly affect the prognosis of patients.
