Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(9):1222-1225
Objective:
To explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution and depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents, so as to provide evidences for informing constitution based regulation and prevention of depressive symptom.
Methods:
From June to December 2024, a total of 4 729 students aged 6-14 were recruited by cluster random sampling from 10 primary schools in Baoding (Hebei Province), Heze and Liaocheng (Shandong Province). General information, TCM constitution and depressive symptom were collected. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to analyze related factors and threshold effects of depressive symptom. Binary Logistic regression was applied to examine the association between depressive symptom and TCM constitution, with subgroup analyses conducted.
Results:
The detection rate of depressive symptom among the included children and adolescents was 25.82%. RCS analyses indicated non linear associations between depressive symptom and age (inflection point at 10 years old), bedtime (inflection point at 22:00), and wake up time (inflection point at 6:30 ) (all P non linearity <0.01). Linear associations were observed with body mass index (BMI) and sleep duration (all P non linearity > 0.05 ). After adjusting for covariates such as age, BMI and sleep status, binary Logistic regression analyses showed that Yin deficient constitution ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.09-1.45) and Phlegm-dampness constitution ( OR =1.42, 95% CI =1.11-1.82) were significantly associated with depressive symptom among children and adolescents (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents is primarily associated with Yin deficiency and Phlegm dampness constitutions in TCM constitution. Active attention should be paid to susceptible TCM constitution among children and adolescents. Targeted health guidance and interventions should be implemented to improve TCM constitution health status for preventing the occurrence of depressive symptom.

Objective To understand the situation and the influencing factors of life quality in diabetic patients in Shanghai, and to develop effective intervention measures. Methods A total of 212 diabetic patients in Baoshan District, Shanghai were selected as the research objects. Diabetes specific quality of life scale (DSQL) was used to investigate the basic situation and quality of life of patients. Combined with biochemical detection indexes and questionnaire survey, data were analyzed by variance analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. Blood glucose level was assessed according to the 1999 WHO diagnostic criteria for type 2 diabetes. Results The overall quality of life score in the patients was 4.31±7.82, which was higher than the domestic norm. The best quality of life was in the dimension of physiological function with the score of 1.84±6.00, which was lower than the domestic norm. The next was the dimension of social relationship, and the worst was the dimension of treatment. The single factor analysis and multivariate analysis identified the following influence factors of quality of life in the patients: family history, educational level, exercise habit, blood glucose control and diet control. There was a negative correlation with educational level and blood glucose control, and a positive correlation with diet control. Conclusion The quality of life in the middle-aged diabetic patients was affected by the education level, blood glucose control and diet control. We suggest to strengthen the community management, health education, and improve the living habits.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of emodin on D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute liver injury and its mechanism.Methods:A total of 40 male BALB/c mice were randomly (random number) divided into 5 groups ( n=8 in each group): the control group, the emodin group, the D-GalN/LPS group, the emodin+D-GalN/LPS group and the 3-MA+emodin+D-GalN/LPS group. D-GalN (700 mg/kg) and LPS (10 μg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected to induce acute liver injury in mice. Autophagy inhibitor 3-MA (15 mg/kg) and/or emodin (20 mg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected 30 min before the liver injury model. The animals were sacrificed under anaesthesia 6 h after D-GalN/LPS challenge, blood samples and liver tissues were collected. The levels of alanineaminotransferase (ALT) and aspartateaminotransferase (AST) in serum, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity of liver tissues were determined by colorimetric quantitative method; the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by ELISA; the expression of LC3-II and Beclin 1 in the liver tissues were evaluated by Western blot; the pathological changes of liver was evaluated by HE staining. Animal survival rate was also analyzed. The one-way ANOVA was use to compare quantitative data, SNK- q test was used for pairwise comparison between two groups, and Games-Howell test was used when homogeneity of variance were not met. Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6 and MPO activity [(2 476.80 ± 263.14) U/L, (271.71 ± 47.15) U/L, (537.92 ± 89.35) pg/mL, (169.74 ± 25.52) pg/mL, and (1.37 ± 0.22) U/mg] were obviously increased in the D-GalN/LPS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6 and MPO activity [(1 248.01 ± 380.70) U/L, (142.59 ± 34.63) U/L, (288.91 ± 67.21) pg/mL, (61.83 ± 13.64) pg/mL, and (0.80 ± 0.21) U/mg] were obviously decreased in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the histopathological abnormalities in liver tissue were significantly alleviated and the survival rate of mice was improved in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group. Compared with the control group, the expression of LC3-II and Beclin1 was decreased in the liver tissue in the D-GalN/LPS group, while compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the expression of LC3-II and Beclin1 was increased in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group. With co-administration of 3-MA, the protective effects of emodin in acute liver injury were reversed, the levels of AST, ALT, TNF-α, IL-6, and MPO [(2 398.78 ± 233.57) U/L, (242.79 ± 43.46) U/L, (505.07 ± 67.89) pg/mL, (151.46 ± 14.11) pg/mL, and (1.27 ± 0.15) U/mg] were increased, and the pathological damage of liver tissue was aggravated. Conclusions:Emodin alleviates D-GalN/LPS-induced acute liver injury in mice, which may be related to the activation of protein LC3-II, Beclin1 and restored autophagy.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of butylphthalide on the apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by Aβ1-42 and its mechanism. METHODS:HUVECs were divided into normal control group,Aβ1-42 group,TAK242 group(10 nmol/L),DMSO group(1‰DMSO)and butylphthalide low-concentration,medium-concentration and high-concentration groups (40,80,160 μg/L). Except for normal control group and DMSO group,other groups were given 50 μmol/L Aβ1-42 to culture HUVECs for 24 h. TAK242 group,DMSO group and butylphthalide low-concentration,medium-concentra-tion and high-concentration groups were given relevant concentration of drugs for 30 min,with 3 holes for each concentration. The cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay;cell apoptosis was observed by Hochest 33342/PI double staining;the cell apoptotic rate was detected by AnnexinⅤ-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) flow cytometry;the protein expression of TLR-4 and COX-2 were determined by Western blot assay;the contents of IL-1 and TNF-α were detected by ELISA. RESULTS:Compared with nor-mal control group,cell viability of HUVECs were decreased in Aβ1-42 group;while apoptotic rate,protein expression of TLR4 and COX-2,the contents of IL-1 and TNF-α were increased. Compared with Aβ1-42 group,cell viability of HUVECs were increased in TAK242 group and butylphthalide low-concentration,medium-concentration and high-concentration groups;while apoptotic rate, protein expression of TLR4 and COX-2,the contents of IL-1 and TNF-α were decreased,with statistical significance(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Butylphthalide can reduce HUVECs apoptosis induced by Aβ1-42,which may be related with inhibiting the expression of TLR4,COX-2 and inflammatory factors.

Objective:To bring to doctors' attention to the first time attack of epilepsy in the patients with Parkinson' s disease, enhance the rational drug use and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions in clinics. Methods: A Parkinson patient with the first time attack of epilepsy was synthetically analyzed on the mechanism of disease, therapy regimen and pharmaceutical care. Results:It was difficult to distinguish the symptom of epilepsy during the treatment of Parkinson' s disease from that of L-dopa induced dyskinesia, therefore, the suitable treatment was difficult to perform. Moreover, antiepileptic drug valproic acid could aggravate Parkinson syn-drome imperceptibly, which was easy to be ignored in clinics. Conclusion:L-dopa induced dyskinesia should try to avoid during the treatment of Parkinson, and should distinguish from the first time attack of epilepsy in order to choose proper antiepileptic drugs.
