Objective: To develop a 24 hour physical activity index for school aged children, and to analyze the association of 24 hour physical activity index with screening myopia and obesity, so as to provide a more effective assessment tool for student health risk screening. Methods: From April to June 2024, a total of 451 students in Grades 3-4 from two monitored primary schools in Shanghai were selected using stratified cluster random sampling method. Data on eight core indicators, including daily moderate to vigorous physical activity time, total physical activity time, outdoor activity time, screen time, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, social jetlag and daytime sleepiness, were collected through questionnaires and accelerometer monitoring. Each indicator was standardized and synthesized into a 0-80 point school aged children s 24 hour physical activity index. Spearman correlation analysis and t-test were used to assess consistency between questionnaire and accelerometer derived indices. Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the association of strength of the composite index with single behavior indicators in screening myopia and overweight/obesity. Results: The compliance rates were higher for moderate to vigorous physical activity time and screen time (50.8%, 98.7%), while the compliance rate for outdoor activity time was only 42.6%, and that for sufficient sleep duration was merely 10.2%. There was no significant difference between the total scores derived from the questionnaire and accelerometer methods (45.13±5.83, 45.05±6.87, t=0.29, P >0.05), but they showed a strong positive correlation ( r=0.58, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that adjusting for individual behaviors such as grade, gender and both parents being myopic, among single behavior indicators of 24 hour physical activity index, only insufficient outdoor activity time was significantly associated with screening myopia among school aged children ( OR=1.50, 95%CI =1.01-2.21); the detection risk of screening myopia and obesity in the low index group were higher than those in the high index group ( OR=2.47, 95%CI =1.02-5.96; OR=16.63,95%CI = 5.99- 46.20) (all P <0.05). Conclusion The developed 24 hour physical activity index for school aged children demonstrates good measurement accuracy and shows stronger associations with screening myopia and obesity than single behavior indicator.

ObjectiveTo evaluate and analyze the syndrome characteristics of Qi and Yin deficiency accompanied by Qi stagnation and blood stasis in a rhein-induced cathartic colon （CC） rat model. MethodsTwenty-four rats were divided into a normal group and a model group （CC group）. The rats were administered equal volumes of physiological saline or 2% rhein suspension by gavage to establish the model over three cycles （approximately 118 days）. The first cycle lasted 46 days， with a dosage of 12 mL·kg^-1·d^-1， administered every other day. The second cycle lasted 37 days， with a dosage of 12 mL·kg^-1·d^-1， administered for 5 consecutive days followed by 2 days of cessation. The third cycle lasted 35 days， with a dosage of 16 mL·kg^-1·d^-1， also administered for 5 consecutive days followed by 2 days of cessation. Each cycle ended when 80% of the rats no longer exhibited loose stools. Body mass， 24 h food intake， coat condition， and coat red （R）， green （G）， and blue （B） values were recorded. The open field test （OFT） was used to measure the total distance traveled to evaluate Qi deficiency. The body mass coefficient and 24 h water intake were recorded to assess Yin deficiency. The sucrose preference test （SPT） was used to determine the sucrose preference rate （SPR）， and the average speed in OFT was measured to evaluate depressive status （liver depression and Qi stagnation）. Tongue images and their R， G， and B values were recorded. Whole blood viscosity （WBV） and plasma viscosity （PV） were measured using an automatic hemorheological analyzer to evaluate blood stasis. A carbon ink propulsion test was performed to determine the intestinal transit rate （ITR） for disease model evaluation. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe histopathological changes in the colon. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 （TRPA1） and tryptophan hydroxylase 1 （TPH1） in colon tissue. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of TRPA1 and TPH1. ResultsIn terms of syndrome indicators， compared with the normal group， the body mass of the CC group decreased （P<0.05）， while 24 h food intake increased （P<0.01）. The coats of the CC group appeared withered， disheveled， and dull， and the R， G， and B values of the coat decreased （P<0.01）. The total distance traveled in OFT decreased （P<0.01）. The body mass coefficient decreased （P<0.01）， while 24 h water intake increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The SPR decreased （P<0.01）， and the average speed in OFT slowed （P<0.01）. The tongue appeared dark red， and the R， G， and B values of tongue images decreased （P<0.01）. WBV and PV increased （P<0.01）. Regarding disease indicators， compared with the normal group， the ITR decreased in the CC group （P<0.01）. Pathologically， HE staining showed necrosis and shedding of colonic mucosal epithelial cells， disruption of mucosal continuity， and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria in the CC group. Semi-quantitative analysis showed increased HAI scores （P<0.05） and increased inflammatory cell counts and area proportion （P<0.05）. In terms of molecular biological indicators， compared with the normal group， the mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPA1 and TPH1 in colon tissue decreased in the CC group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe rhein-induced CC rat model conforms to the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome characteristics of Qi and Yin deficiency accompanied by Qi stagnation and blood stasis.

Urticarial vasculitis is a skin disease with urticaria-like lesions and a histopathological pattern of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. It is considered a "hidden rash" in traditional Chinese medicine. Xuanfu is the portal that regulates qi, blood, fluid, and the ascending, descending, exiting, and entering of nutrition qi and defensive qi. Collaterals are the pathways for the circulation of qi and blood. The two accompany each other, connecting zang-fu organs, reaching the surfaces of the skin, hair, and external body, circulating qi and fluid, and moistening and protecting the skin. Based on the theory of Xuanfu-collateral, this study aimed to clarify the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment method of urticarial vasculitis. External assault by wind and Xuanfu blockage are believed to be the initiating factors of this disease. The malnutrition of Xuanfu and collaterals and accumulated dampness-heat are important links in the occurrence and development of urticarial vasculitis. It spreads from Xuanfu to the collaterals, and blockage of the collaterals is the immanent trend of this disease. Clinically, by closely adhering to the core pathogenesis of blockage of Xuanfu-collateral, treatment method such as using wind medicinals to open Xuanfu with pungent and dispersing properties, using the method of supplement deficiency and removing the blockage, and using medicinals to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to unblock the blocked collaterals. The herbs are flexibly added or subtracted to unblock Xuanfu and collaterals, harmonize qi and blood, thus all symptoms can be relieved. We hope that this study will provide new ideas for the treatment of urticarial vasculitis with traditional Chinese medicine.

Under the current legal framework， living will， as an important legal tool for safeguarding patients’ autonomy and dignity， have been widely recognized and implemented in many countries and regions. In China， the promotion of living will also has a solid legal foundation， with their legitimacy reflected in several provisions of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China. One of the highlights of the Medical Regulations of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone （revised in 2022） is the clarification of the legal effect of living will. To ensure that patients’ living will can be accurately implemented at critical moments， the rights and obligations of patients， family members， and healthcare professionals should be clearly defined within the legal framework， and clear guidance should be provided at every stage of implementation.

Objective:To investigate the number of medical institutions and staff involved in 131I diagnosis and therapy in China, and to ascertain the level of 131I activity incorporated in thyroid of medical staff performing the 131I treatment. Methods:Questionnaires were used to investigate the basic information on nuclear medicine practices in all the non-military hospitals in China. Portable gamma spectrometers were used to determine and analyze the 131I activity in thyroid of the medical staff in some radioiodine treatment workplaces. The result were reported through National Radiological Health Information Platform. Results:Until December 2022, there had been 959 hospitals performing clinical nuclear medicine practices in China, with a total of 10 820 medical staff. In China, there have been 623 hospitals performing 131I therapeutical procedures, accounting for 65.0% of all nuclear medicine hospitals, and 333 hospitals performing 131I treatment of thyroid cancer, accounting for 34.7%. The hospitals equipped with automated radiopharmaceutical dispenser accounted for 61.3% of the 623 hospitals. A total of 2 210 nuclear medicine staff were monitored for internal exposure in 20 provinces in 2022, with 249 (11.3%) having activities above 100 Bq and the maximum value of 2.9 × 10 4 Bq. A total of 426 nuclear medicine staff in four provinces were detected using HPGe detectors, with 101 (23.7%) detected to have 131I in their thyroid glands. A total of 1 748 in 17 provinces were detected using NaI or LaBr detectors, with 379 (21.2%) detected to have 131I in their thyroid glands. The detection rate of 131I in the staff was found to increase with the increased amount of 131I purchased by hospitals. The detection rate of 131I in the hosptitals having purchased the amount of 131I≥3.70 × 10 6 MBq in 2021 was 32.1%. This value was notably higher than in the other three groups whose purchased amount <3.70 × 10 6 MBq, with a statistically significant difference( χ2=15.46, P < 0.001). Conclusions:There were great differences in the number of both hospitals and staff performing 131I treatment between different provinces in China. About one fifth of the staff in the 131I treatment workplaces could be detected to have incorporated 131I in their thyroid glands.

Objective To analyze the relationship between post-traumatic growth(PTG)and health-related quality of life(HRQOL)among long-term cancer survivors(time since diagnosis≥5 years)and to explore the trends and reasons for changes over time.Methods A total sampling method was used to conduct baseline and follow-up surveys on long-term cancer survivors from 6 cancer registries in Germany during 2008-2011 and 2018-2019.General information questionnaires,Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory,and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire were applied.The collected data were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects regression model for longitudinal relationships.Results A total of 2704 long-term cancer survivors completed the baseline and follow-up surveys and the effective sample size is 2 686.The high PTG group had a significantly higher overall health status/QOL score than the low PTG group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).However,the difference in scores between the 2 groups at follow-up was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The interaction between PTG groups and time was statistically significant for overall health status and insomnia(all P＜0.05).There was a stable positive relationship between PTG and economic difficulty scores with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.001).Conclusion There is a positive correlation between PTG and HRQOL among long-term cancer survivors that weakens over time,and the perceived economic burden related to health is a continuous source of stress.

BACKGROUND:Stroboscopic visual training can force sensory reweighting to restore the original weights by increasing sensitivity to proprioceptive information,which may be an effective method to improve proprioception. OBJECTIVE:To determine the effects of balance training in three conditions,low frequency,high frequency and normal vision,on ankle proprioception in patients with chronic ankle instability. METHODS:Thirty-six patients with chronic ankle instability recruited from the students of Southwest Medical University were randomly assigned to a low-frequency vision training group,a high-frequency vision training group,and a normal vision training group,with 12 subjects in each group.Subjects in the three groups underwent progressive hop stabilization and balance training,in which the low-frequency vision training group and the high-frequency vision training group wore stroboscopic spectacles during the training,with a stroboscopic frequency of 1.75 and 5 Hz,respectively.The training in each group was performed three times a week for 4 consecutive weeks.Assessments,including ankle proprioception,ankle stability self-assessment and dynamic postural stability,were performed before training and within 1 week after the completion of training. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was a significant main effect of time factor in ankle proprioception(P<0.05).Compared with the pre-training period,subjects in the low-frequency vision training group and the high-frequency vision training group showed significant improvement in ankle proprioception after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05);and subjects in the low-frequency vision training group showed a significant improvement in ankle proprioception compared with that of the normal vision training group after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05).There were significant main effects of time factor and group×time interaction in ankle proprioception(P<0.05).Compared with the pre-training period,the ankle stability self-assessment in all three groups was improved after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05).And the ankle stability self-assessment in high-frequency visual training group was higher than that in normal vision training group after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05).Compared with the pre-training period,subjects in the low-frequency vision training group and the high-frequency vision training group showed significant improvements in forward dynamic postural stability,posteromedial dynamic postural stability,and posterolateral dynamic postural stability after 4 weeks of training(P<0.05),while in the normal vision training group,forward dynamic postural stability and posterolateral dynamic postural stability were significantly improved after 4 weeks of training(P≤0.05).To conclude,balance training under stroboscopic visual conditioning improves proprioception,ankle stability self-assessment,and dynamic postural stability in patients with chronic ankle instability regardless of frequency.

OBJECTIVE To establish a preparation system for megakaryocytes(MKs)derived from human embryonic stem cells(hESCs)and MK microparticles(MKMPs),and to assess the pro-angio-genic efficiency of these microparticles.METHODS ①hESCs were induced to mesodermal progenitor cells via monolayer culture with the first-stage induction medium for 2 days before the cells were induced to hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor cells by culturing with the second-stage induction medium for another 3 days.Then,the cells were dissociated into single cells,seeded into the third-stage induction medium,and cultured using the suspension method for 8 days to obtain MKs.The specific characters of differentiated cells were identified through morphological observation and flow cytometry before stage-specific marker proteins in different periods were analyzed[hESCs:TRA-1-60,sialyl glycolipid stage-specific embryonic antigen4(SSEA4)];mesodermal progenitor cells:brachyury;hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor cells:CD34,CD43;MKs:CD41a,CD42b),and immu-nofluorescence staining[β1-tubulin,von Willebrand factor(VWF)],[friend leukemia integration 1(FLI1),CD42].② MKMP collection and verification:MKMPs were collected via differential centrifugation.The concentration and size of these MKMPs were determined by nanoparticle tracking analysis(NTA),and both the morphology and ultrastructure were examined by transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Besides,the MKMPs-specific proteins[CD41,tumor susceptibility gene 101(TSG101)and CD9]were detected by Western blotting analysis.③ Biological function of MKMPs:MKMPs were stained with CD41a-PE antibodies and co-cultured with human umbilical veinvascular endothelial cells(HUVECs)labeled by CD34-APC for 3 h.Live-cell immunofluorescence was employed to find out whether HUVECs could absorb MKMPs.To find out whether MKMPs could affect the role of HUVECs in angio-genesis and cell migration,platelet microvesicles(PMPs)were used as positive controls.The experi-mental groups were added with different concentrations of microparticles(1,5,10 and 20 mg·L-1)while the control group was given no microparticles(0 mg·L-1).The number of nodes that formed the lumen after 5 h of incubation in Matrigel was counted,and the size of healing of the scratch area was analyzed after 6 h.To elucidate the mechanism through which MKMPs impacted angiogenesis,ELISA was used out to quantitatively detect the concentration of proteins in microparticles.RESULTS ① A three-stage differentiation cultural system was established to develop hESCs into MKs.Flow cytometry revealed progressive loss of pluripotency markers SSEA4 and TRA-1-60,while the mesodermal progenitor marker brachyury peaked at d 2.Subsequently,hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor markers CD34 and CD43 emerged at d 5,followed by megakaryocytic markers CD41a and CD42b at d 13.Immunofluorescent images further demonstrated that MKs expressed specific proteins CD42,β1-tubulin,von VWF and FLI1 at d 13.②Microparticles were collected via differential centrifuga-tion.Transmission electron microscopy revealed that their substructure exhibited a typical double-layered membrane.Nanoparticle tracking analysis indicated that the size was(164.3±14.0)nm.The result of WB demonstrated that the microparticles expressed specific markers,including TSG101,CD9 and CD41.③ MKMPs were absorbed after being co-cultured with HUVECs for 3 h and enhanced the ability of HUVECs to form tubes and migrate.Notably,the treatment of 5 mg·L-1 MKMPs was more effective than 5 mg·L-1 PMPs treatment.The results of ELISA showed that the content of VEGF from MKMPs was higher than from PMPs,which may be the key factor in regulating endothelial biological function.CONCLUSION MKs derived from hESCs can generate functional microparticles which can promote angiogenesis.
