Objective: To investigate the assocation of sedentary behavior among college students on psychological health issues, such as depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms, and to analyze the moderating role of takeaway consumption behavior in the context, in order to provide a scientific basis for reducing emotional symptoms among college students. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was employed to conduct a questionnaire on 3 427 first year students of a higher education institution in Hefei of Anhui Province from May to June 2021. The study variables included demographic characteristics, sedentary time, takeaway consumption behavior, and emotional (symptoms depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms). The Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the association between variables, and linear regression analysis was used to analyze the association between takeaway consumption behavior and depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms among college students with sedentary time. Results: Both sedentary time and takeaway consumption behavior were positively correlated with depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms among college students ( r =0.10, 0.10, 0.10; 0.10, 0.11, 0.11, all P <0.05). The results of linear regression analysis showed that the interaction term between takeaway consumption behavior and sedentary time was positively correlated with symptoms of depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms among college students (depression: β =0.04, anxiety: β =0.04, stress: β =0.04, all P <0.05). The results of the simple slope test demonstrated that regardless of the level of takeaway consumption behavior, sedentary time was positively correlated with the depressive symptoms of college students; compared with low takeaway consumption behavior, high takeaway consumption behavior ( β=0.77, P <0.01) enhanced the association between sedentary time and depressive symptoms among college students. In addition, under the condition of high takeaway consumption behavior, sedentary time was positively correlated with the anxiety and stress symptoms of college students (anxiety: β =0.64; stress: β =0.71, both P <0.01); while under the condition of low takeaway consumption behavior, sedentary time was not related to the anxiety and stress symptoms of college students ( β =0.17, 0.22, both P >0.05). Conclusions Sedentary behavior is related to a the emotional symptoms of depressive, anxiety, and stress among college students. Takeaway consumption behavior may exacerbate this impact.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Hedysari Radix polysaccharide on the apoptosis of gastric sinus smooth muscle cells and explore the underlying mechanism via the insulin-like growth factor-1 （IGF-1）/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/serine-threonine kinase （Akt） pathway in the rat model of diabetic gastroparesis （DGP）. MethodSixty-two Wistar male rats were randomized into a blank group （n=12） and a modelling group （n=50）. The rat model of DGP was established by small-dose multiple intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin combined with an irregular high-fat and high-sugar diet for 4 weeks. The modeled rats were randomized into model group， mosapride citrate （1.35 mg·kg^-1）， and high-， medium-， and low-dose （200， 100， and 50 mg·kg^-1， respectively） Hedysari Radix polysaccharide groups. The rats were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage， and those in the blank and model groups with equal volumes of pure water by gavage once a day for 8 consecutive weeks. The random blood glucose and body mass were measured every 2 weeks， and gastric emptying rate was calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological changes of smooth muscle in gastric antrum， and terminal deoxynucleoitidyl transferase-mediated nick-end labeling （TUNEL） was employed to detect the apoptosis of smooth muscle cells in the gastric antrum. The expression of IGF-1， phosphorylated （p）-PI3K， and p-Akt in the smooth muscle of gastric sinus tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of IGF-1， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） in the smooth muscle of the gastric antrum. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group showed elevated random blood glucose at all time points （P<0.01）， decreased body mass and gastric emptying rate （P<0.01）， increased apoptotic index of smooth muscle cells in the gastric antrum （P<0.01）， down-regulated protein levels of IGF-1， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， and Bcl-2， and up-regulated protein level of Bax （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the 8 weeks of drug administration lowered the random blood glucose， increased the body mass and gastric emptying rate （P<0.05， P<0.01）， decreased the apoptotic index of smooth muscle cells in the gastric antrum （P<0.05， P<0.01）， up-regulated the protein levels of IGF-1， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， and Bcl-2， and down-regulated the protein level of Bax （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the mosapride citrate group，the administration of low-dose Hedysari Radix polysaccharide for 6 and 8 weeks lowered the random blood glucose and decreased the body mass （P<0.05， P<0.01），low and medium-dose Hedysari Radix polysaccharide decreased the gastric emptying rate and the apoptotic index of smooth muscle cells in the astragaloside low-dose group decreased （P<0.05）. The protein levels of IGF-1，p-PI3K/PI3K，p-Akt/Akt and Bcl-2（low dose）were down-regulated and the protein level of Bax was up-regulated by low doses of Hedysari Radix polysaccharide （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with high-dose Hedysari Radix polysaccharide， low-dose Hedysari Radix polysaccharide elevated random blood glucose and reduced body mass after 6 and 8 weeks of administration （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the low and medium doses decreased the gastric emptying rate， increased the apoptotic index of smooth muscle cells in the gastric antrum （P<0.05， P<0.01）， down-regulated the protein levels of IGF-1， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， and Bcl-2， and up-regulated the protein level of Bax （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the medium-dose group，the low-dose group of Hedysari Radix polysaccharide had lower body mass，lower gastric emptying rate in rats，higher apoptotic index of smooth muscle cells in gastric sinus tissue after 6 and 8 weeks of administration （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and lower protein expression of IGF-1，p-PI3K/PI3K，p-Akt/Akt. ConclusionHedysari Radix polysaccharide protects the smooth muscle cells in gastric antrum against apoptotic injury and promotes gastric motility by activating the IGF-1/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， as manifested by the up-regulated expression of IGF-1， p-PI3K， p-Akt， and Bcl-2 and down-regulated expression of Bax.

Objective: To analyze the correlation and gender differences between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide a reference for promoting the mental health of middle school students. Methods: With a stratified random cluster sampling method, a total of 6 656 middle school students in 4 cities, including Nanchang, Shenyang, Taiyuan, and Zhengzhou, were selected as research subjects from October 2021 to October 2022. The Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACEs-IQ), Benevolent Childhood Experiences Scale (BCEs), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorders-7 (GAD-7) scale were used to conduct questionnaire surveys.The Chi square test was used to compare the reporting rates of depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students in different groups, and a Logistic regression model was established to analyze the effects of ACEs and PCEs on depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students and their gender differences. Results: The reporting rate of depressive symptoms among middle school students was 20.1%, and the reporting rate of anxiety symptoms was 13.9% . ACEs were positively correlated with depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students (depression symptoms: OR =1.20, 95% CI =1.18-1.22, anxiety symptoms: OR =1.18, 95% CI =1.16-1.20), while PCEs were negatively correlated with depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students(depression symptoms: OR =0.84, 95% CI = 0.83 -0.86, anxiety symptoms: OR =0.85, 95% CI =0.83-0.87) ( P <0.05). In the general population (depression symptoms ： OR =0.99, 95% CI = 0.98- 0.99, anxiety symptoms: OR =0.99, 95% CI =0.99-1.00) and among girls (depression symptoms: OR = 0.98 , 95% CI = 0.97- 0.99 , anxiety symptoms ： OR =0.99, 95% CI =0.98-1.00), the interaction term between ACEs and PCEs were negatively correlated with depression and anxiety symptoms ( P <0.05). Conclusions ACEs significantly affect the depression and anxiety symptoms of middle school students, while PCEs can help reduce the impact of ACEs on the depression and anxiety symptoms of middle school students, girls are more susceptible to the impact of early experiences than boys. It should focus on gender differences, formulate comprehensive mental health protection strategies, to promote the mental health development of middle school students.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between cardio-metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO).Methods:This cohort study recruited singleton pregnancies in the first trimester (6-13 +6 weeks of gestation) from Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital between January 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022. Cardiometabolic markers, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG), were recorded during the first trimester. Incidence of APO, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, small for gestational age infant, and placental abruption, was documented. Cardiovascular metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester were defined as meeting one or more of the following criteria: elevated BMI (BMI≥24 kg/m2), elevated TG (TG≥1.7 mmol/L), decreased HDL-C (HDL-C<1.0 mmol/L), elevated blood pressure (systolic pressure≥130 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and/or diastolic pressure≥85 mmHg), elevated FPG (FPG≥5.6 mmol/L). Enrolled women were categorized into abnormal cardio-metabolic and normal cardio-metabolic groups. Poisson regression was employed to analyze the association between cardio-metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester and APO. Results:The study included 14 197 pregnant women with an age of (32.0±4.1) years. There were 8 139 women in the normal cardio-metabolic group and 6 058 women in the abnormal cardio-metabolic group. Women with cardio-metabolic disorders in the first trimester had a younger gestational age and higher incidence rates of preterm birth, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes mellitus (all P<0.05). In multivariable Poisson regression, elevated BMI ( RR=1.22, 95% CI 1.15-1.29), elevated FPG ( RR=1.59, 95% CI 1.38-1.82), elevated TG ( RR=1.22, 95% CI 1.13-1.31), and elevated blood pressure ( RR=1.50, 95% CI 1.39-1.63) were independent risk factors for APO, while decreased HDL-C ( RR=0.93, 95% CI 0.70-1.23) was not. Elevated blood pressure ( RR=5.57, 95% CI 4.58-6.78), elevated BMI ( RR=1.71, 95% CI 1.40-2.09), and elevated TG ( RR=1.38, 95% CI 1.10-1.74) had the greatest impact on the risk of developing preeclampsia. Elevated FPG ( RR=1.70, 95% CI 1.45-1.99) had the greatest impact on the risk of gestational diabetes. Conclusions:Elevated blood pressure, BMI, TG and FPG in the first trimester are closely related to APO.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Hoveniae Semen， Flos Puerariae and their combinations on acute alcoholic liver disease and provide a scientific basis for the drug use in clinical practice and the research on other alcoholic diseases. MethodThe acute alcoholic liver injury model of mice was established by one-time gavage with 56% （V/V） Hongxing Erguotou liquor （12 mL·kg^-1）. One hundred and twenty male ICR mice were randomly assigned into blank group， model group， silybin group， Flos Puerariae group， Hoveniae Semen group， and Flos Puerariae-Hoveniae Semen combination groups （ratios of 1∶1， 1∶2 and 2∶1， respectively）， with 15 mice in each group. Each group was administrated with 10 mL·kg^-1 corresponding preventive drugs for 3 days by gavage. Except the blank group， the other groups were given Erguotou liquor by gavage at 12 mL·kg^-1. The mice were sacrificed 12 h after drinking for the observation of liver function and oxidative stress. The pathological changes of liver were observed via hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Western blot was employed to determine the expression levels of proteins in the Kelch-like Ech-associated protein 1 （Keap1）/nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/antioxidant response element （ARE） signaling pathway. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA levels of related genes. ResultCompared with control group， the modeling elevated the levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST） and alkaline phosphatase （ALP） in the serum and the content of malondialdehyde （MDA） and reactive oxygen species （ROS） in liver tissue （P<0.01） and decreased the activities of glutathione （GSH） and superoxide dismutase （SOD） （P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expressions of Keap1 were significantly increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2 were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， Flos Puerariae-Hoveniae Semen 2∶1 lowered the levels of ALT， AST and ALP in the serum （P<0.01） and MDA and ROS in the liver （P<0.01）， and increased the activities of GSH and SOD （P<0.01）. Moreover， it alleviated the hepatic steatosis injury， up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of Nrf2 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of Keap1 （P<0.01）. ConclusionFlos Puerariae， Hoveniae Semen and their combinations may exert the pre-protective effect on acute alcoholic liver injury in mice by regulating the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway in the liver and restoring the liver oxidative balance destroyed by ethanol to inhibit the development of alcoholic liver disease .

Objective:To explore the effects of family-centered conductive education on the muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy and the stress of caregivers.Methods:Totally 92 children with cerebral palsy and 92 their main caregivers admitted into the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from October 2018 to December 2019 were selected and divided into a control group and a conductive education group according to the random number table, with 46 children with cerebral palsy and their 46 main caregivers in each group. Patients in the control group received routine care, while patients in the conductive education group underwent family-centered conductive education on the basis of routine care. The Chinese version of the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) , Caregiver Strain Index (CSI) , and the Chinese version of Family Management Measure (FaMM) were used to evaluate the muscle strength, caregiver pressure, and disease management ability of the two groups before and after intervention. Therefore, there were actually 43 cases in the control group and 42 cases in the conductive education group.Results:After intervention, the MAS scores of the two groups were lower than those at admission, and the score was lower in the conductive education group than in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) ; the CSI score of caregivers in the conductive education group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.05) , while the FaMM score was higher than that in the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Family-centered conductive education can effectively reduce the muscle strength of children with cerebral palsy, alleviate the pressure of their caregivers, and improve the caregivers' disease management ability.

Twenty inadequately controlled diabetic patients treated with insulin therapy received dapagliflozin treatment for 12 weeks. HbA1C, glycemic variations, plasma 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α(8-PGF2α), and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels, the change of the insulin dose, and the safety of treatments were analyzed. The results showed that after 12-week dapagliflozin therapy, HbA1C, fasting plasma glucose, postprandial 2h plasma glucose, inter-quartile range, standard deviation of blood glucose, large amplitude glycemic excursions, postprandial glucose excursion, as well as absolute means of daily difference were significantly decreased ( P<0. 01) . Compared with those before treatment, addition of dapagliflozin notably decreased plasma 8-PGF2αand hs-CPR levels, along with reduced insulin dosage ( P<0. 01 ) and decreased body weight of patients ( P<0. 05 ) . After dapagliflozin treatment, the hypoglycemia of the patients was obviously improved, without report of severe hypoglycemia. These results indicate that dapagliflozin treatement improves glucose metabolism,and reduces insulin dosage and the hypoglycemic events in fragile diabetics with intensive insulin therapy.
