Objective:
To analyze the association between different sleep statuses and overweight/obesity among primary school students, so as to provide a basis for the development of childhood overweight and obesity prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
In November 2023, a total of 3 391 primary school students of grade 1-6 from seven schools in Baoan District, Shenzhen, were surveyed by questionnaires and physical examinations by using multistage cluster sampling. The Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between primary school students sleep status and overweight/obesity.
Results:
The detection rate of overweight/obesity in primary school students was 22.59%, the detection rate of overweight/obesity in boys (27.04%) was higher than that in girls (17.44%), the only child (25.81%) had higher rates than nononly child (21.76%), and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=51.48, 5.98, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for confounders, primary school students weekend nighttime sleep duration (OR=0.83, 95%CI=0.75-0.91), weekly average nighttime sleep duration (OR=0.76,95%CI=0.64-0.89), and weekend compensated sleep duration (OR=0.89,95%CI=0.81-0.97) were negatively associated with the risk of developing overweight/obesity (P<0.05). Compared with to primary school students with school days nap durations <0.5 h, those whose napped for 0.5-<1 h and ≥1 h on school days had a 20% (OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.02-1.42) and 37% (OR=1.37, 95%CI=1.02-1.83) increased risk of overweight/obesity, respectively (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Increasing weekend nighttime sleep duration, average weekly nighttime sleep duration, and weekend compensatory sleep duration can reduce the risk of overweight and obesity in primary school students. School days nap duration is a risk factor for overweight/obesity among primary school students.

Objective:
To explore the associations of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) among primary and secondary school students and their parents, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted physical activity promotion strategies for children and adolescents.
Methods:
From 2021 to 2022, basic information and 24 h movement behaviors of 2 484 pairs of students and their parents were collected from five primary and secondary schools in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, with a convenient sampling combining with cluster sampling method. Component regression models were constructed to analyze the relationship between parental MVPA, SB and primary and secondary school students MVPA and SB, and a component isochronous substitution model was used to explore the effects of mutual substitution between parental MVPA, residual components (time use components other than SB during the 24 h period), and SB on the behavioral activities of MVPA and SB in primary and secondary school students.
Results:
Parental MVPA and SB of students in grade 1 to 3 were positively correlated with both students MVPA and SB ( β=0.06, 0.12, P <0.01). The component isochronous substitution model showed that substituting 10 and 20 minutes of MVPA for SB by parents in grade 1 to 3 was associated with an increase in MVPA of students, and substituting 10 and 20 minutes of residual ingredients for SB was associated with a decrease in SB of students, with mean changes of 0.8 (95% CI =0.4-1.2) and 1.4 (95% CI =0.7-2.2) and -1.4 (95% CI =-1.7 to -1.1) and -2.9 (95% CI =-3.4 to -2.3)( P <0.05). No statistically significant associations were observed between parents of students in grades 4 to 6 and 7 to 9 and students physical activity and sedentary behaviour ( P >0.05).
Conclusions
Parents of students in grades 1 to 3 increases MVPA and decrease SB are beneficial to increase MVPA and decrease SB of students. Parents could promote physical activity among primary and secondary school students, and the intervention gateway should be advanced, with the low grades as the optimal intervention period.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):102-105
Objective:
To explore the association of physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with psychological sub health among middle school students in Bao an District, Shenzhen, so as to provide a reference for adolescent mental health promotion.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted in November 2024 by a stratified cluster random sampling method to select 6 926 junior and senior middle school students from 5 middle schools in Shenzhen. The questionnaire from Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System was used to assess the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, and physical activity Rating Scale was used to assess the level of physical activity, and Brief Instrument on Psychological Health of Youths was used to evaluate the psychological sub health status. The Chi -square test was used to analyze the differences in the detection rates of psychological sub health among different groups of middle school students, and a multivariate Logistic regression model was established to analyze the effects of physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage consumption and their combined effects on the psychological sub health of middle school students.
Results:
The detection rate of psychological sub health among middle school students in Bao an District, Shenzhen was 18.93%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as gender, school stage, family residence, family economic status, parental literacy, academic stress and number of friends, lack of physical activity or excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption were associated with increased risks of psychological sub health among middle school students ( OR =1.36, 1.45); and the highest risk of psychological sub health was found in middle school students who were lack of physical activity and excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption ( OR =2.59) ( P <0.01). Further analysis by school stages showed that junior high school students with sufficient physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks ( ROR =2.10), lack of physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks ( ROR =2.31) were at higher risks of psychological sub health than senior high school students( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Insufficient physical activity and excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption are closely associated with an increased risk of psychological sub health among middle school students. Effective interventions should be targeted to reduce the risk of psychological sub health problems among middle school students.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Sizi Powder (四子散, SP) orientation osmotherapy in the treatment of stroke patients with hemiplegia. MethodsIn this study, 94 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group with 47 patients in each group. The control group received conventional treatment, nursing and rehabilitation training, while the treatment group was treated with SP orientation osmotherapy in addition to the treatments in the control group. The treatment consisted of 20 minutes per session, once daily, 5 times a week, 2 weeks per course, with a total of 2 courses. Before the intervention, after 2 weeks intervention and after 4 weeks intervention, the upper limb motor function was evaluated by using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (U-FMA). The modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) was used to assess upper limb spasticity, and joint range of motion was measured for shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, internal rotation, external rotation, elbow flexion, wrist palmar flexion, dorsiflexion, ulnar deviation, and radial deviation. Clinical efficacy for spasticity was evaluated after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. Skin conditions, including burns, allergic reactions, and blisters, were monitored during the treatment process. ResultsA total of 44 patients in the treatment group and 45 patients in the control group completed the study. The results showed that after 2 and 4 weeks of intervention, the U-FMA scores of both groups increased, with the treatment group showing higher scores than the control group (P<0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the MAS score distribution improved significantly in both groups (P<0.05), although no significant difference was found between the groups after 2 and 4 weeks treatment(P>0.05). The total effective rate of spasticity clinical efficacy in the treatment group after 2 and 4 weeks was 15.91% (7/44) and 40.91% (18/44), respectively, while in the control group, it was 11.11% (5/45) and 22.22% (10/45). There was no significant difference after 2 weeks treatment (P>0.05), but the treatment group showed a significantly higher total effective rate after 4 weeks treatment (P<0.05). After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, the joint range of motion in the upper limbs was greater in both groups (P<0.05). After 2 weeks of intervention, the treatment group showed greater range of motion in shoulder flexion, extension, and abduction than the control group, and after 4 weeks of intervention, the treatment group demonstrated greater range of motion in shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, internal rotation, external rotation, and elbow flexion compared to the control group (P<0.05). During the treatment, one patient in the treatment group experienced mild skin allergy, while no other severe adverse reactions, such as intense pain, itching, blisters, or infection, were observed in any patients. ConclusionSP orientation osmotherapy can effectively improve upper limb motor function and joint range of motion in stroke patients with hemiplegia. After 4 weeks of treatment, it can reduce upper limb spasticity and improve clinical efficacy, with good safety.

ObjectiveTo explore the pathological mechanism-syndrome-treatment patterns of approved Chinese patent medicines (CPMs) that treat collateral disorders, providing a reference for the principle of "treating different diseases with the same therapy" in collateral pathology. MethodsCPMs that apply treatment strategies based on collateral disorders were identified from the Pharmacodia database by extracting information from the "efficacy" or "indications" sections of drug package inserts. A database was established to extract the names and compositions of the CPMs, as well as their indications, related traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms, disease locations (affected areas), and pathological factors. Frequency statistics were performed. Using the Apriori algorithm, an association rule analysis was conducted on CPMs and disease-location combinations related to the top three most frequent pathological factor combinations. Core formulas for these combinations were identified and analyzed through drug network analysis and MCODE module clustering. ResultsA total of 660 CPMs targeting collateral disorders were retrieved, involving 299 indications, 323 TCM symptoms, 21 disease locations, 19 pathological factors, and 124 pathological factor combinations. The most frequent pathological factor combinations were blood stasis (involved in 109 CPMs, 16.52%), exogenous wind (外风) -cold-dampness (involved in 43 CPMs, 6.52%), and qi deficiency-blood stasis (involved in 42 CPMs, 6.36%). Analysis of the core formulas for these combinations revealed common ingredients such as Honghua (Carthami Flos), Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Dilong (Pheretima). ConclusionCollateral disorders involve a wide range of pathogenesis and represent a fundamental mechanism in the onset and development of various diseases, characterized by obstruction and stagnation. The primary therapeutic principle is unblocking of the collaterals. Blood stasis obstructing the collaterals is the core pathological basis, and the strategy of activating blood circulation and resolving stasis to unblock the collaterals should be central to the treatment. The core medication pattern involves combining blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbs with insect-derived medicinals that unblock collaterals. Exogenous wind is often the initiating patholo-gical factor in colla-teral disorders, and the appropriate addition of wind-dispelling herbs can enrich the treatment strategies for such conditions.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of critically ill neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who acquired Serratia marcescens infection for onset or colonization, and to explore the risk factors contributing to the onset of Serratia marcescens infection. Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted by collecting clinical data from NICU neonates at the Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University between January 2017 and December 2023. Forty-four neonates with clinical signs and/or symptoms consistent with Serratia marcescens infection, and with Serratia marcescens isolated from specimens, would be enrolled as the infection onset group, while 45 neonates who tested positive for Serratia marcescens in rectal and/or pharyngeal cultures during the same period, but had no clinical signs or infection symptoms, were enrolled as the colonization control group. The distribution of bacteria in the neonates infected with Serratia marcescens was observed, and clinical data were subjected to univariate and binary multivariate Logistic regression analyses for screening the independent risk factors for onset of acquired Serratia marcescens infection in NICU. Results:During the 7-year period, 5 972 neonates were admitted to the NICU, of which 297 developed hospital-acquired infections. Among these, 44 neonates were identified with Serratia marcescens infection, accounting for 14.8% of hospital-acquired infections. During the same period, a total of 45 neonates were diagnosed with the colonization of Serratia marcescens, but did not develop any symptoms. The primary infection sites of the neonates in both the colonization control group and infection onset group were respiratory tract, accounting for 86.7% (39/45) and 43.2% (19/44), respectively. The highest rate of infection in the infection onset group was respiratory tract (43.2%), followed by bloodstream infection [29.6% (13/44)], intracranial infection [15.9%, (7/44)], intestinal infection [6.8% (3/44)], and urinary tract infection [4.5% (2/44)]; no deaths were reported. In addition to respiratory tract infection, 13.3% (6/45) of the neonates in the colonization control group had intestinal infection, and no pathogenic bacteria was detected in their blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or urine. Univariate analysis showed that compared with the colonization control group, the neonates in the infection onset group had lower gestational ages [days: 28.5 (26.9, 30.0) vs. 32.0 (30.1, 34.6), P < 0.01], lower birth weights and proportion of probiotic usage [birth weights (kg): 1.20 (0.96, 1.44) vs. 1.75 (1.45, 2.23), probiotic usage: 29.5% (13/44) vs. 57.8% (26/45), both P < 0.01], longer length of NICU stay and duration of antibiotic usage [length of NICU stay (days): 65.11±23.00 vs. 40.31±20.04, duration of antibiotic usage (days): 23.09±9.57 vs. 11.80±7.19, both P < 0.01], and higher proportions of invasive procedures such as mechanical ventilation > 3 days and central venous catheterization > 7 days [mechanical ventilation > 3 days: 61.4% (27/44) vs. 20.0% (9/45), central venous catheterization > 7 days: 81.8% (36/44) vs. 28.9% (13/45), both P < 0.01], indicating that these factors were associated with Serratia marcescens infection onset acquired in NICU. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that a birth weight of ≤ 1.5 kg [odds ratio ( OR) = 5.745, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.345-24.549, P = 0.018], a length of NICU stay > 45 days ( OR = 3.642, 95% CI was 1.102-12.041, P = 0.034), duration of antibiotic usage ( OR = 0.871, 95% CI was 0.799-0.949, P = 0.002), non-usage of probiotics ( OR = 3.191, 95% CI was 1.058-9.627, P = 0.039), and invasive procedures such as mechanical ventilation > 3 days ( OR = 5.302, 95% CI was 1.510-18.619, P = 0.009), and central venous catheterization > 7 days ( OR = 3.818, 95% CI was 1.103-13.212, P = 0.034) were independent risk factors for the onset of NICU-acquired Serratia marcescens infection. Conclusions:The incidence of NICU-acquired Serratia marcescens infection is high. Low birth weight, prolonged length of NICU stay, long-term antibiotic usage, and invasive treatments are independent risk factors for the onset of NICU-acquired Serratia marcescens infection. Oral probiotics may be a new method for preventing onset of NICU-acquired Serratia marcescens infection.

Objective:To explore the relationship between white matter integrity and cognitive function in first-episode children and adolescents with schizophrenia by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Methods:Totally 84 children and adolescents with first-episode schizophrenia who were hospitalized in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2017 to June 2021 were selected as the study group, and 35 healthy children and adolescents matched with the study group were selected as the control group. Positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) was used to assess the patient's mental symptoms. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans were performed, and the structural integrity of white matter fibers in the brain was measured by tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS), with the indicators including fractional anisotropy (FA). The Chinese version of measurement and treatment research to improve cognition in schizophrenia consensus cognitive battery (MCCB) and the Stroop color-word test were used to evaluate the cognitive function of all subjects. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyse the data by analysis of variance, independent sample t-test, Mann Whitney U-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:(1)The FA values of the right superior longitudinal tract (MNI: x=49, y=-40, z=31) and the left corticospinal tract (MNI: x=-27, y=-22, z=-19) in the study group were higher than those in the control group(both P<0.05). The FA values of the bilateral cingulate gyrus (MNI: x=-7, y=25, z=14; x=20, y=-50, z=25) and the occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line (MNI: x=-19, y=-50, z=21) in the study group were lower than those in the control group(both P<0.05).(2)The trail making test score of the study group was higher than that of the control group( t=4.344, P<0.01), and the scores of the symbol coding, Hopkins verbal learning test-revised( HVLT-R), brief visuospatial memory test-revised(BVMT-R), word fluency test, number span, maze, Stroop word, Stroop color and Stroop color words were lower than those in the control group( t=-13.041--3.204, all P<0.05). (3) The FA value of right cingulate gyrus (hippocampus) was negatively correlated with the number span ( r=-0.269, P=0.023).The FA value in occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line was positively correlated with the symbol code ( r=0.237, P=0.047).The FA value of the left lower longitudinal bundle was negatively correlated with the Stroop color and maze ( r=-0.289, -0.275; P=0.010, 0.020).The FA value of the right inferior longitudinal fasciculus was negatively correlated with the score of maze ( r=-0.254, P=0.032). The FA value of occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line was positively correlated with positive symptom score ( r=0.170, P=0.040). Conclusion:Cognitive dysfunction in children and adolescent with first-episode schizophrenia may be related to abnormal white matter integrity in the brain.
