Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):53-57
Objective:
To explore the current status and influencing factors of eating behaviors in adolescents, so as to provide a theoretical foundation for health promotion education among adolescents.
Methods:
Based on the database from Survey of Chinese Family Health Index (2021), by a random number table method, 1 065 teenagers were selected from the provincial capitals of 22 provinces and 5 autonomous regions in China, as well as 4 municipalities directly under the central government. A general characteristic questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Short Form of the Family Health Scale (FHS-SF), 10-item Short Version of the Big Five Personality(BFP-10), Content-based Media Exposure Scale (CM-E) and Sakata Eating Behavior Scale Short Form(EBS-SF) were used to collect information. Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis was employed to identify and analyze related factors of eating behaviors among adolescents. Receiver operating characteristic was used to validate the predictive ability of the EBS-SF score for overweight and obesity among adolescents.
Results:
The average scores of BFI-10,C-ME, FHS-SF, PHQ-9 and EBS-SF were (33.08±4.64)(19.20±4.55)(38.48±6.65)(6.09±5.63)(16.75±4.36), respectively. Multivariate linear regression showed that family type (other types), agreeableness, conscientiousness, family health and depression were the main related factors of EBS-SF scores among adolescents( B =2.61,-0.42,0.20,-0.11,0.23, P <0.05).The analysis of receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the EBS-SF scores had a good ability in predicting obesity among male adolescents ( AUC= 0.73, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Family type, big five personality, family health,depression are the related factors of eating behaviors among adolescents. EBS-SF scores are predictive of obesity in adolescents, which would provide a new perspective for promoting healthy eating habits among adolescents.

ObjectiveWith the development of society and the increasing demand for pregnancy at an advanced age, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) has attracted wider attention. This disease affects the normal menstruation of women and poses a threat to their mental health. Current research on DOR is still in the initial stage, and advancing research progress in DOR necessitates the construction of effective and clinically relevant animal models. Building on existing literature and integrating the diagnosis criteria of DOR in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, this study summarized, analyzed, and evaluated existing models, providing a reference for optimizing DOR animal models. MethodsA retrospective analysis of literature on DOR-related animal models was conducted, and the diagnostic criteria of DOR in TCM and Western medicine were sorted out. By means of evaluation methods of animal models, the clinical relevance of each model to TCM and Western medicine was assessed. ResultsDOR animal models included those based on natural factors, iatrogenic factors, immune factors, metabolic factors, and environmental factors. Among them, the model based on iatrogenic factors, especially models induced by Tripterygium wilfordii preparations, cyclophosphamide, and cisplatin, had a high degree of relevance to both Western medical diseases and TCM syndromes and was confirmed as the optimal modeling method for studying DOR at present. ConclusionThe existing DOR modeling methods mostly have a high degree of clinical relevance to Western medical diseases, while the number of DOR animal models with clear TCM syndromes is very limited. TCM plays an indispensable role in exploring DOR treatment methods. Therefore, the development of DOR animal models related to TCM syndromes should be strengthened, further exploring the potential of TCM and providing strong theoretical support for the application of TCM in DOR treatment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy of integrating pharmacists into family health teams (FHTs) for long-term medication therapeutical management (MTM) in stroke patients, and empirically evaluate the service model. METHODS A pharmacist team, jointly established by clinical and community pharmacists from the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”), developed a pharmacist-supported MTM model integrated into FHTs. Using a prospective randomized controlled design, 170 stroke patients discharged from our hospital (July 2022-December 2023) and enrolled in FHTs at Suzhou Runda Community Hospital were randomly divided into trial group (88 cases) and control group (82 cases) according to random number table. The control group received routine FHTs care (without pharmacist involvement in the team collaboration), while the trial group xhz8405@126.com received 12-month MTM services supported by pharmacists via an information platform. These services specifically included innovative interventions such as personalized medication regimen optimization based on the MTM framework, dynamic medication adherence management, medication safety monitoring, a home medication assessment system, and distinctive service offerings. Outcomes of the 2 grousp were compared before and after intervention, involving medication adherence (adherence rate, adherence score), compliance rates for stroke recurrence risk factors [blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)], and incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADR). RESULTS After 12 months, the trial group exhibited significantly higher medication adherence rates, improved adherence scores, higher compliance rates for blood pressure and LDL-C targets compared to the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in the trial group (4.55%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (8.11%), though the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pharmacist involvement in FHTs to deliver MTM services significantly enhances medication adherence and optimizes risk factor for stroke recurrence, offering practical evidence for advancing pharmaceutical care in chronic disease management under the family doctor system.

To analyze the Non-duplicate CRAB strains isolated from clinical specimens between June and December 2023 at Huai'an First People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively collected. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of commonly used antimicrobial agents against these strains were determined using the broth microdilution method. A total of 48 CRAB strains were included. COL-based combination regimens all exhibited favorable synergistic or additive effects against CRAB. Among them, the COL+IPM group showed the highest synergistic rate (83.3%), while the COL+AMK and COL+CSL groups primarily demonstrated additive effects (additive rates of 66.7% and 70.8%, respectively). TGC-based combination regimens mainly exhibited additive or indifferent effects, with the TGC+CSL group showing the highest additive rate (75.0%) and the TGC+AMK group showing the highest indifferent rate (70.8%). No antagonistic effects were observed in any of the six combination regimens. Further analysis revealed that the antibacterial effect of the COL+IPM group against CRAB was significantly different from that of the other combination regimens ( The combination of COL and IPM demonstrates the optimal synergistic antibacterial effect against CRAB, with the highest synergistic rate, and can be used as an empirical combination regimen for the clinical treatment of CRAB infections.

OBJECTIVE To provide references for further improving the management level of Chinese herbal pieces covered by the healthcare security drug catalog (hereinafter referred to as “healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces”). METHODS Policy documents related to healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces were retrieved from official websites of National Healthcare Security Administration and medical insurance bureaus of various provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government). Using text analysis, the current management status of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces in various provinces was analyzed from two dimensions: management regulations and catalog formats. RESULTS In terms of the management regulations for healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, some provinces implemented both national and provincial standards for Chinese herbal pieces, while a small number of provinces adopted national standards alongside their own provincial standards. Regarding the payment categories of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, most were classified as category A, though some provinces managed them as category B, and others included both categories A and B or category C. In terms of applicants, there were three kinds: only medical institutions, only herbal piece enterprises, or both medical institutions and herbal piece enterprises being allowed to apply. During the application process, some provinces required preliminary evaluations by local healthcare security departments with recommended lists submitted, while some provinces omitted preliminary evaluations and relied solely on unified evaluation by provincial healthcare security departments. Regarding the methods for catalog formulation and adjustment, there was little variation among the provinces. In terms of the catalog format for healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, some provinces had supplemented the catalog fields based on the national medical insurance catalog. In contrast, some provinces had relatively simple catalogs. Regarding the sorting of the herbal pieces catalog, some catalogs were arranged by the number of Chinese character strokes in the names of the herbal pieces, but most catalogs lacked clear sorting rules. CONCLUSIONS Significant resultshave been achieved in formulating management measures and the catalog of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces. However, there is still a great necessity to develop targeted and adaptable management clauses based on local conditions and the characteristics of Chinese herbal pieces. The content and format of healthcare security drug catalog of Chinese herbal pieces should be improved; in addition, continuous tracking of the latest management policies is also essential to improve the accuracy and operability of formulated catalog.

Objective:
To investigate the mechanism of action of Wuzi Yanzong pill (WYP) in rats with oligoasthenozoospermia (OAZ) via metabolomics and to provide a possible basis for improving this WYP-based treatment.
Methods:
A rat model of OAZ was established by treating male Sprague–Dawley rats with glucosides from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F. Seventy-two rats were randomly divided into six groups: control, L-carnitine (positive control), model, and low-, medium-, and high-dose WYP groups. Rats in the experimental groups were treated with WYP for 4 weeks. At the end of the treatment period, sperm cell quality (density, motility, and viability) was assessed using a semen analysis system, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was assessed using flow cytometry, and testicular injury was assessed using hematoxylin and eosin staining to validate the therapeutic effect of WYP in OAZ. Further, serum metabolomics-based analysis was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify differential metabolic pathways and possible mechanisms of action of WYP in OAZ treatment.
Results:
A rat model of OAZ was considered successfully-established after comparing the quality of spermatozoa in the model group to that in the control group. WYP-M and WYP-H treatments significantly improved sperm cell density, motility, and viability compared with those in the model group (all P < .05). Compared with the model group, both WYP-M and WYP-H treatments increased MMP values (P = .006 and P = .021 respectively), while there was no significant difference in the L-carnitine group. L-carnitine and WYP administration reversed damage to the testes to varying degrees compared with that in the model group. Further, 44 differential metabolites and four metabolic pathways, especially autophagy pathway, related to OAZ were identified via metabolomics.
Conclusions
WYP improves sperm cell quality and MMP in OAZ primarily via autophagy regulation. These findings can be employed to improve the efficacy of WYP in humans.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of leonurine on pancreatic injury in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and to explore its mechanism based on the high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) signaling pathway. METHODS SAP rat model was constructed by injecting 5% sodium taurocholate into the bile duct of the pancreas. Model rats were randomly divided into model group, low dose leonurine group (8 mg/kg), high dose leonurine group (16 mg/kg), HMGB1 overexpression group (8 μg/kg), and high dose leonurine+HMGB1 overexpression group (16 mg/kg+8 μg/kg), with 14 rats in each group. Another 14 rats were selected as the sham operation group. Rats in each group were injected with corresponding drugs or normal saline via abdominal cavity or tail vein once a day for 5 consecutive days. After the last administration, the levels of serum amylase (AMS) and lipase (LPS) were detected; the pathological injury of pancreatic tissue was observed; the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB1 and RAGE in pancreatic tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with model group, the structure of pancreatic tissue in rats gradually recovered in low and high dose leonurine groups; inflammatory cell infiltration gradually decreased; the pathological injury score and the levels of AMS, LPS, TNF-α, IL-6, MDA, the mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB1 and RAGE were significantly decreased, while the SOD levels were significantly increased (P<0.05). The high dose leonurine group showed more significant improvement (P<0.05); the pathological damage of pancreatic tissue in the HMGB1 overexpression group worsened, and except for a decrease in SOD levels, all other quantitative indicators increased significantly (P<0.05). Overexpression of HMGB1 could reduce the improvement effect of high dose leonurine on the above indexes in SAP rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Leonurine may alleviate pancreatic injury, inflammation and oxidative stress in pancreatic tissue of rats with SAP by inhibiting the HMGB1/RAGE signaling pathway.

Background and objective Small cell lung cancer(SCLC)is known as recalcitrant cancer with high malignancy and heterogeneity.Immunotherapy has changed the treatment pattern of extensive-disease SCLC(ED-SCLC),but the beneficiary population is limited.Therefore,exploring new therapeutic strategies is an urgent clinical problem to be solved for SCLC.SCLC is characterized by highly active glycolytic metabolism and pyruvate kinase Ml(PKM1)is one of the isozymes of PK,an important rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis pathway.Previous studies have shown that PKM1 is related to autophagy and drug sensitivity,however,how PKM1 regulates drug sensitivity in SCLC and its mechanism remain unclear.The aim of this study was to investigate the biological functions of PKM1 in SCLC,including its effects on proliferation,migra-tion,autophagy,drug sensitivity,and expression of neuroendocrine(NE)-related markers in SCLC.Methods Western blot was used to detect the expression level of PKM1 in SCLC cells.PKM1 gene-overexpressed SCLC cell lines were constructed by stable lentivirus transfection.Proliferation of cells and drug sensitivity were detected by MTT,and migration ability of cells was determined by Transwell.The level of autophagy was detected by flow cytometry.Western blot was used to determine the expression levels of NE-related proteins.Results PKM1 was differentially expressed among various SCLC cell lines,and was lower in H1092 cells(P<0.01).Compared with the control group,there was no significant difference in proliferation level of PKM1 overexpressing H1092 cell,but the migration ability was significantly increased(P<0.001),the drug sensitivity was re-duced,and the level of autophagy was inhibited(P<0.001).Additionally,overexpression of PKM1 could upregulate the expres-sion of non-neuroendocrine(non-NE)-related proteins(P<0.01)and decrease the expression of NE-related proteins(P<0.01).Conclusion PKM1 was differentially expressed in SCLC cell lines,and high expression of PKM1 did not affect the prolifera-tion,but affected the migration of SCLC cells.PKM1 might affect drug sensitivity by inhibiting autophagy and regulating the expression of NE markers.These results provide a theoretical basis for exploring the role of PKM1 in SCLC.
