Objective: To explore the effects of a zerotime exercise (ZTEx) intervention on physical activity levels and sedentary behavior among college students, providing evidence for improving physical activity and reducing sedentary habits. Methods: In September 2023, 45 sedentary college students from a university in Fuzhou were recruited and randomly assigned to either the ZTEx group (23 students) or the control group (22 students) according to a random number table method. ZTEx group received two ZTEx focus group meetings for 3 months, while the control group received safety and health education. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire and a threeaxis accelerometer were used to evaluate the sedentary and physical activity levels of college students. At the same time, evaluations related to physical health and psychological questionnaires were completed. Mixed effects analysis of variance and nonparametric tests were used to statistically analyze the physical health, psychological questionnaire, and sedentary and physical activity data of the college students. Results: Postintervention, the ZTEx group showed significant improvements in the duration of lowintensity physical activity [pretest(1 492.78±369.50)min; posttest(1 918.93±354.63)min] and the number of sedentary interruptions [pretest(45.26±13.69)times; posttest(73.78±16.74)times]; grip strength [pretest(28.77±9.23)kg; posttest(31.78±8.00)kg]; sitting up continuously for 30 seconds [pretest(22.52±4.90)times; posttest(26.96±4.87)times]; general selfefficacy [pretest(26.52±4.14)points; posttest(32.96±5.24)points]; body composition summary [pretest(66.44±4.83)points; posttest(72.62±4.88)points]; and psychological composition summary [pretest(61.21±9.88)points; posttest(63.98±9.57)points], while reducing sedentary time [pretest(3 694.28±687.56)min; posttest(2 865.90±493.81)min] in the past 7 days, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The control group exhibited no significant changes(P>0.05). Conclusion ZTEx effectively improve the lowintensity physical activity, increases sedentary breaks, and reduces prolonged sitting among college students, fostering healthier habits and improving physical/mental wellbeing.

Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a widely utilized therapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, the clinical implementation is constrained by the stringent preparation conditions of radioembolization agents. Herein, we incorporated the superstable homogeneous iodinated formulation technology (SHIFT), simultaneously utilizing an enhanced solvent form in a carbon dioxide supercritical fluid environment, to encapsulate radionuclides (such as ¹³¹I,¹⁷⁷Lu, or ¹⁸F) with lipiodol for the preparation of radiolipiodol. The resulting radiolipiodol exhibited exceptional stability and ultra-high labeling efficiency (≥99%) and displayed notable intratumoral radionuclide retention and in vivo stability more than 2 weeks following locoregional injection in subcutaneous tumors in mice and orthotopic liver tumors in rats and rabbits. Given these encouraging findings, ¹⁸F was authorized as a radiotracer in radiolipiodol for clinical trials in HCC patients, and showed a favorable tumor accumulation, with a tumor-to-liver uptake ratio of ≥50 and minimal radionuclide leakage, confirming the feasibility of SHIFT for TARE applications. In the context of transforming from preclinical to clinical screening, the preparation of radiolipiodol by SHIFT represents an innovative physical strategy for radionuclide encapsulation. Hence, this work offers a reliable and efficient approach for TARE in HCC, showing considerable promise for clinical application (ChiCTR2400087731).

In recent years, with the continuous advancement of related research, the clinical value of clot waveform analysis (CWA) in the diagnosis and management of thrombotic diseases has become increasingly prominent. As a dynamic coagulation monitoring technology based on optical principles, CWA overcomes the limitations of traditional coagulation tests (e.g., APTT, PT), which rely on single time-point parameters, in identifying hypercoagulable states, predicting thrombotic risk, and monitoring anticoagulant efficacy. By analyzing the kinetic profiles of the coagulation cascade, CWA provides multidimensional insights. This article elucidates the theoretical basis and principles of CWA, systematically reviews its applications in arterial/venous thrombosis, other hypercoagulability-related disorders, and anticoagulation therapy monitoring, and synthesizes recent advances of CWA for thrombotic diseases. Specifically, multiple studies demonstrate that CWA-APTT parameters (e.g., peak height Min1, Min2, Delta) can sensitively detect hypercoagulability. Combining CWA with the Padua score significantly enhances the predictive power for venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment. CWA shows clinical utility in evaluating hypercoagulability in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute cerebral infarction (ACI), where parameters such as Min1, Min2, and Max2 exhibit greater sensitivity than conventional APTT. These metrics may predict AMI complications and guide clinical management. Additionally, CWA demonstrates value in diverse scenarios including pregnancy, inflammation-associated hypercoagulability (e.g., COVID-19, Kawasaki disease), and rare thrombotic conditions (e.g., chronic spontaneous urticaria). Beyond diagnostic and risk-stratification advantages, CWA serves as a novel tool for personalized anticoagulation monitoring. Its derivative technology, clot-fibrinolysis waveform analysis (CFWA), extends applications to fibrinolysis assessment—aiding in identifying coagulation status in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients, tracking coagulation/fibrinolysis dynamics in COVID-19, and evaluating efficacy of anticoagulant/antifibrinolytic therapies. Nevertheless, despite its unique strengths, challenges such as device dependency, insufficient standardization, and heterogeneity in parameter interpretation hinder widespread clinical adoption, necessitating further investigation. Future directions include establishing multidimensional thrombotic risk assessment systems integrating CWA and developing AI-powered automated CWA analysis platforms to enhance clinical accessibility.

Objective To address the bottlenecks in the application of wastewater biological treatment technology under space conditions,an experimental system for the biological treatment of space wastewater was constructed and its biochemical performance examined.The findings of this study will provide technical support for the biological treatment of space wastewater.Methods Based on the Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor(MABR)process,a biological treatment experimental system for space wastewater was constructed and conducted the continuous flow test for 77 days to investigate the performance of PVDF and PP membrane modules in the treatment of simulated air condensate.Results The results demonstrated that both membrane modules exhibited an average TOC removal rate of 90%,indicative of their effective organic matter removal capacity.In the air supply mode,the ammonia oxidation capacity was observed to be comparatively lower,whereas in the oxygen source without bubbling mode,the nitrogen oxidation rate and total nitrogen removal rate could be attained above 90%,indicating a notable degree of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification.The results demonstrated that the mode of gas supply had a significant impact on the nitrogen conversion performance.The abundance of nitrogen-converting bacteria in PP membrane module is higher than that in PVDF membrane module,indicating a better nitrogen-converting performance in PP membrane module.Conclusion The constructed wastewater biological treatment system is optimally suited for the treatment of air condensate,thereby offering a novel technical approach for space wastewater treatment.

Objective Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)poses a significant challenge for treatment efficacy.CD8+T cells,which are pivotal immune cells,can be effectively analyzed for differential gene expression across diverse cell populations owing to rapid advancements in sequencing technology.By leveraging these genes,our objective was to develop a prognostic model that accurately predicts the prognosis of patients with TNBC and their responsiveness to immunotherapy. Methods Sample information and clinical data of TNBC were sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas and METABRIC databases.In the initial stage,we identified 67 differentially expressed genes associated with immune response in CD8+T cells.Subsequently,we narrowed our focus to three key genes,namely CXCL13,GBP2,and GZMB,which were used to construct a prognostic model.The accuracy of the model was assessed using the validation set data and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Furthermore,we employed various methods,including Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway,immune infiltration,and correlation analyses with CD274(PD-L1)to explore the model's predictive efficacy in immunotherapeutic responses.Additionally,we investigated the potential underlying biological pathways that contribute to divergent treatment responses. Results We successfully developed a model capable of predicting the prognosis of patients with TNBC.The areas under the curve(AUC)values for the 1-,3-,and 5-year survival predictions were 0.618,0.652,and 0.826,respectively.Employing this risk model,we stratified the samples into high-and low-risk groups.Through KEGG enrichment analysis,we observed that the high-risk group predominantly exhibited enrichment in metabolism-related pathways such as drug and chlorophyll metabolism,whereas the low-risk group demonstrated significant enrichment in cytokine pathways.Furthermore,immune landscape analysis revealed noteworthy variations between(PD-L1)expression and risk scores, Conclusion Our study demonstrates the potential of CXCL13,GBP2,and GZMB as prognostic indicators of clinical outcomes and immunotherapy responses in patients with TNBC.These findings provide valuable insights and novel avenues for developing immunotherapeutic approaches targeting TNBC.
