Objective To investigate the existing nuclear radiation health emergency response capacity of local health systems at nuclear power plant sites in Guangdong Province. Methods The health administrative departments of all nuclear power plants sites in Guangdong Province, along with radiation health protection institutions, designated nuclear radiation treatment hospitals, and township health centers, were selected as the study subjects using the purposive sampling method. A series of standardized questionnaires on the capacities for nuclear radiation health emergency response, developed uniformly by the National Institute for Radiological Protection, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, were adopted to separately investigate the capacities for nuclear radiation health emergency response in the study subjects. Results There were 13 health administration departments, 15 radiological health protection institutions, 18 designated hospitals for nuclear radiation medical response, and 18 township health centers located in the nuclear power plants sites in Guangdong Province. Among the 13 health administration departments, the Health Commission of Guangdong Province met all 15 criteria for nuclear radiation health emergency response capacities. All six prefecture-level health administrative departments possessed more than 10 capacities for nuclear radiation health emergency response, while only one of the six county-level departments had more than 10 such capacities. Among radiation health protection institutions, the provincial-level institution possessed all 18 capacity for nuclear radiation health emergency response; of the six prefectural-level institutions, only four had more than 10 capacities; none of the eight county-level institutions or 18 township health centers possessed more than 10 capacities. Among designated nuclear radiation treatment hospitals, provincial-level institution met all 32 capacities for nuclear radiation health emergency response; of the eight prefecture‑level hospitals, only four meet more than ten such capacities; and of the nine county‑level hospitals and 18 township health centers, none possess more than 10 capacities. Conclusion Provincial- and prefectural-level nuclear radiation emergency capacity in Guangdong Province is adequate, whereas county-level and township health centers have obvious weaknesses in organizational structure, personnel training, equipment reserves, funding, and technical reserves; emergency response capacity needs urgent enhancement.

Objective To analyze the current status of nuclear radiation health emergency response capacity in areas of the nuclear power plants in Guangdong Province, and to formulate a construction plan for municipal-level nuclear radiation health emergency response teams. Methods Provincial-, municipal-, and county-level administrative regions in the nuclear power plant host areas of Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects. A series of questionnaires designed by the National Institute for Radiological Protection, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, were used to assess the capacity of nuclear radiation health emergency response. Based on the findings, a construction plan for municipal-level nuclear radiation health emergency response teams was formulated. Results A total of 13 administrative regions which host nuclear power plants were involved, including one provincial-level, six municipal-level, and six county-level regions. The availability rates of 31 capacity indicators of nuclear radiation health emergency response among 13 administrative regions ranged from 15% to 100%, with an average of 51%. Provincial-level capacity of nuclear radiation health emergency response was relatively well established, county-level radiation monitoring and protection capacity was nearly absent, municipal-level regions possessed basic capacity, but with obvious regional disparities and a general lack of specialized facilities and materials required for the treatment of nuclear radiation injuries, making them the key level for improvement in nuclear radiation health emergency response. The Construction Plan for Municipal-Level Nuclear Radiation Health Emergency Response Teams specifies that the total number of team members should be no fewer than 30 to ensure rapid response and immediate arrival at the scene. The List of Key Professional Equipment proposes the prioritized allocation of five categories of equipment: personal basic equipment, contamination detection and classification equipment, decontamination equipment, medical treatment equipment, and command and logistical support equipment. Conclusion Nuclear radiation health emergency response capacity in Guangdong Province requires further improvement, particularly in standardized development of municipal-level nuclear radiation health emergency response teams. The Construction Plan for Municipal-Level Nuclear Radiation Health Emergency Response Teams defines capacity requirements and provides a list of essential equipment, offering a practical reference for other regions.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether modified Taohe Chengqitang (JTCT) treats liver fibrosis by inhibiting hepatic sinusoidal capillarization, and to verify whether its specific mechanism is related to the Homologous genes responsible for the notches along the edges of Drosophila wings(Notch) signaling pathway and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) signaling pathway. MethodsFifty C57BL/6 mice were randomized into 5 groups: Control, model (5 mL·kg-1·3 d-1), low-dose JTCT, medium-dose JTCT, and high-dose JTCT (JTCT-L,JTCT-M,JTCT-H). Except the control group, the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with 20% carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) olive oil solution every 3 days for 4 weeks to induce liver fibrosis. Meanwhile, JTCT-L, JTCT-M, and JTCT-H groups were administrated with JTCT by gavage at doses of 16.6, 33.3, and 66.6 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively, for 4 consecutive weeks (the control and model groups received equal volumes of normal saline by gavage). Primary liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) were isolated from rat livers through in situ perfusion of collagenase, Percoll density gradient centrifugation, and selective removal of Kupffer cells. After verification of cell phenotype, LSECs were used for experiments. For cells at the logarithmic growth phase, the small interfering RNA(siRNA) kit was used to knock down the expression of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) through transient transfection. Subsequently, the Notch agonist Jagged-1 was applied. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to examine the cytotoxicity of JTCT on LSECs. Real-time PCR and Western blot were employed to measure the expression of molecules in the Notch and eNOS signaling pathways at mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Intracellular Ca2+ was labeled with the fluorescent probe Fluo-4 acetoxymethyl ester(Fluo-4/AM). ResultsThe animal experiment showed that compared with the control group, the model group exhibited hepatic steatosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, hepatocyte degeneration and necrosis, lobular structural disorder, and fibrous tissue hyperplasia in the mouse liver tissue, significantly elevated serum levels of hydroxyproline (Hyp), alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST) (P<0.01), significantly upregulated expression levels of Notch1, Hes family bHLH transcription factor 1(Hes1), Cluster of Differentiation 31(CD31), and von Willebrand factor(vWF) (P<0.01), and significantly downregulated phosphorylate(p)-eNOS/eNOS ratio and sGC expression (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all the JTCT groups showed significantly reduced serum Hyp, ALT, and AST levels (P<0.01), downregulated expression of Notch1, Hes1, CD31, and vWF (P<0.05, P<0.01), and upregulated p-eNOS/eNOS ratio and sGC expression (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the liver tissue, with the JTCT-H group showing the most significant changes (P<0.01). The cell experiment showed that compared with the LSEC-1day group, the LSEC-5day group exhibited significantly increased expression of Notch1, Hes1, CD31, and vWF (P<0.01), significantly decreased p-eNOS/eNOS ratio and sGC expression (P<0.01), and elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration (P<0.01). Compared with the LSEC-5day group, the JTCT group showed decreased expression of Notch1, Hes1, CD31, and vWF (P<0.01), significantly increased p-eNOS/eNOS ratio (P<0.01), and significantly reduced intracellular Ca2+ concentration (P<0.01). No significant differences were observed in the expression of Notch1, Hes1, eNOS, p-eNOS, CD31, vWF, sGC, or intracellular Ca2+ concentration between the Jagged1 group and the Jagged1+JTCT group. Compared with the LSEC-5day group, the sGC knockout group (sGC-KO) showed significantly increased expression of CD31 and vWF (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in CD31 or vWF expression between the sGC-KO group and the sGC-KO+JTCT group. ConclusionJTCT inhibits the activation of the Notch signaling pathway and restores the activity of the eNOS signaling pathway to suppress sinusoidal capillarization of LSECs, thereby treating liver fibrosis.

Objective:
To examine the association between academic stress and anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students and the potential moderating effect of physical activity, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the development of evidence based mental health promotion frameworks in higher education institutions.
Methods:
From October 2022 to June 2024, a total of 7 980 students from 21 universities across five provinces/municipalities in China, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Anhui, using a combination of convenience sampling and stratified random cluster sampling. Physical activity, academic stress, anxiety, and depression were assessed by using the 24 hour Movement Behaviors Questionnaire, the Chinese College Students Mental Health Screening Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, respectively. Binary Logistic regression was used to examine the associations between academic stress and anxiety, depression, and their comorbidity. The PROCESS macro was employed to test the moderating effect of physical activity.
Results:
The prevalence of anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students was relatively high (11.53%), with significant differences observed across grades and body mass index (BMI) categories ( χ 2=70.30, 24.63, both P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression revealed that, compared with low academic stress, moderate academic stress among male students was significantly associated with greater odds of anxiety ( OR =2.78), depression ( OR =2.75), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =2.89) (all P <0.01). High academic stress was associated with elevated odds of anxiety ( OR =6.66), depression ( OR =12.81), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =13.65) (all P <0.01). Among female students, moderate academic stress was associated with anxiety ( OR =2.58), depression ( OR =1.52), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =1.70) (all P <0.01). High academic stress increased the risk of anxiety ( OR =6.77), depression ( OR =6.81), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =7.48) (all P <0.05). The moderation analysis indicated that the interaction between total physical activity duration and academic stress had a significant netative moderating effect on anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students ( β =-0.03, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Academic stress increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students. Physical activity may attenuate the adverse effects of academic stress on anxiety-depression comorbidity.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(9):1240-1245
Objective:
To analyze the text structure, temporal evolution, and mechanism related shortcomings of policies related to family-school-society collaboration in promoting students physical and mental health in China, thereby providing a reference for improving collaborative mechanisms in the context of health promoting school development.
Methods:
The PKULAW Laws and Regulations Database was used as the data source. A total of 115 relevant policy documents issued by relevant departments from the founding of the People s Republic of China to May 7, 2026, were included. Drawing on the adolescent health policy analysis framework and adapting it to the Chinese contexts of family-school-society collaborative education, health promoting school development, and interdepartmental collaborative governance, policy text analysis was conducted. Multi label coding was applied to 629 semantic units, and fractional counting was used to calculate the weights of 6 main dimensions and 31 subdimensions and to describe the dimensional composition of the policies and its changes over time.
Results:
Policies related to family-school-society collaboration in promoting students physical and mental health gradually evolved from early principle based collaboration centered on the ideological and moral development of minors into institutional arrangements supported by the Healthy China initiative, the legal institutionalization of family education, collaborative education mechanisms, and health promoting school development. Among the 6 main dimensions, policy features and costs accounted for 54.8% of the total weight, followed by implementation considerations (22.9%), monitoring and evaluation (9.5%), policy appropriateness (5.6%), inclusion and coverage (4.8%), and participatory approach (2.5%). At the subdimension level, proposed interventions, target population characteristics, intersectoral linkages, consideration of adolescents social ecology, and goal setting accounted for 18.7%, 16.0%, 12.0%, 9.6%, and 9.4% of the total weight, respectively, whereas adolescent participation and the incorporation of young people s voices accounted for only 0.3% and 0.1% , respectively. These findings indicated that the policy texts focused primarily on problem identification, target population specification, and implementation arrangements, while provisions concerning students active participation, identification of differentiated needs, and support from disaggregated data remained relatively limited.
Conclusions
China has established a policy framework for family-school-society collaboration in promoting students physical and mental health that emphasizes goal setting, responsibility division, and organizational implementation, while gradually extending to specific health promotion tasks. Nevertheless, policy provisions concerning students active participation, the identification of differentiated needs, stratified and category specific monitoring, and the use of evaluation feedback require further specification.
6.Related factors and collaborative action framework of multi-disease co-prevention in children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(9):1364-1368
Abstract
The cooccurrence of multi disease among children and adolescents has become increasingly prominent, necessitating a shift from "single disease separate treatment" to "multi disease co prevention". Focusing on four common health problems in children and adolescents, namely, myopia, depression, overweight/obesity, and spinal abnormalities, the paper systematically reviews the association between four categories of factors, society, environment, family, and individual behavior, and the co occurrence of the aforementioned health problems. The findings indicate that particulate matter 2.5 exposure, light at night, physical inactivity, excessive screen time, and unhealthy diet constitute the primary cross dimensional risk network. Based on these findings, the paper proposes a collaborative action framework involving family, school, and society, emphasizing systematic strategies ranging from upstream environmental governance to downstream behavioral intervention, so as to provide evidence for the practice and policy making of multi disease co-prevention in children and adolescents.

Objective:To analyze the changes in the prevalence characteristics of multimorbidity among adolescents aged 13-18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2019 to 2022 and to explore the association between multimorbidity and moderate to high-intensity physical activity among them.Methods:A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select students aged 13-18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region every September from 2019 to 2022. Physical examinations, demographic characteristics, and depression-related surveys were conducted to analyze the multimorbidity of overweight, obesity, high blood pressure, myopia, spinal curvature abnormality, and depression. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between multimorbidity and moderate to high-intensity physical activity.Results:From 2019 to 2022, 70 972, 62 923, 80 254, and 78 288 study subjects were included, with the rates of multimorbidity being 56.4%, 55.4%, 57.2%, and 55.8%, respectively. The rates of multimorbidity remained relatively stable from 2019 to 2022 ( χ2=0.06, P=0.950). The incidence of multimorbidity among girls was significantly higher than that among boys ( P<0.001). The incidence of multimorbidity among urban students was significantly higher than that among suburban students ( P<0.001). The incidence of multimorbidity among high school students was higher than that among middle school students ( P<0.001). The top three multimorbidity combinations were myopia and overweight/obesity (26.4%), myopia and high blood pressure (24.4%), and myopia and depression (19.8%), while the least common combination was depression and spinal curvature abnormality (1.1%). The multimorbidity patterns showed no significant differences between years ( χ2=0.03, P=0.999). The multimorbidity status was significantly associated with the status of meeting the standard of moderate to high-intensity physical activity ( OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.80-0.86). The association was stronger in boys ( OR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.73-0.81) compared with girls ( OR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.85-0.96), with a significant interaction term ( P<0.001). Conclusion:From 2019 to 2022, the incidence of multimorbidity among adolescents aged 13 to 18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is relatively high, mainly due to the co-occurrence of myopia and other health problems. Adequate physical activity is an important factor in reducing multimorbidity.
