Objective: To identify the latent profile characteristics and associated factors of family intergenerational transmission of proactive health behaviors in overweight and obesity junior high school students, so as to provide a reference for promoting active health in adolescents. Methods: From October to December 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 4 932 junior high school students with overweight and obesity from 18 junior high schools of three cities representing the eastern (Yantai), central (Zibo), and western (Zaozhuang) regions of Shandong Province. Latent profile analysis was used to explore the heterogeneity of family intergenerational transmission among those students. Univariate analysis and multiple Logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify factors associated with different profiles and to examine the influence of profile membership on junior high school students proactive health levels. Results: The intergenerational transmission of health behaviors in junior high school students could be classified into 3 latent profiles:the moderate modeling dysfunctional group (5.88%, n =290), the low modeling advantage deficient group (41.79%, n =2 061), and the high modeling functional harmonious group ( 52.33 % n =2 581). Univariate analysis showed that gender, urban/rural area, region location, paternal/maternal education level, family economic status, and only child status were significantly associated with the classification of latent profiles of intergenerational transmission in families of overweight and obesity junior high school students ( χ 2=7.63-165.22, all P <0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis revealed that, using the moderate modeling dysfunctional group as the reference, male students ( OR =0.71) and those residing in coastal cities ( OR =0.74) were less likely to belong to the low modeling advantage deficient group (both P <0.05); students with moderate family economic status were more likely to belong to the low modeling advantage deficient group ( OR =1.72， P <0.05). Conversely, students living in urban areas ( OR =1.43), those with fathers ( OR =2.53) or mothers ( OR =2.48) having a college degree or above, and those with moderate ( OR =3.89) or good ( OR =2.42) family economic status were more likely to be classified into the high modeling functional harmonious group (all P < 0.05 ). Using the low modeling advantage deficient group as the reference, residing in coastal cities ( OR =1.26), living in urban residence ( OR =1.14), having parents (father or mother) with a college education or above ( OR =1.91, 2.33), moderate or good family economic status ( OR = 2.27 , 3.17), and being an only child ( OR =1.19) were associated with a higher probability of belonging to the high modeling functional harmonious group (all P < 0.05 ). There was a statistically significant difference in active health behaviors among students across different latent profiles of family intergenerational transmission ( F =494.79, P <0.01). Conclusions The heterogeneity of family intergenerational transmission is associated the level of proactive health behaviors among junior high school students. Therefore, precision interventions should be implemented based on different categories of family intergenerational transmission, so as to strengthen the efficacy of intergenerational transmission of health behaviors and promote proactive health among junior high school students.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Shexiang Tongxin Dripping pills-containing serum （STDP） in ameliorating angiotensinⅡ （AngⅡ）-induced cell phenotype transformation， proliferation， migration， and dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells. MethodsAn AngⅡ-induced proliferation and migration model of vascular smooth muscle cells was established. The cells were treated with STDP at 5%， 10%， and 20% for 24 h. The immunofluorescence assay was employed to detect the expression of α smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） and matrix metalloproteinase-2 （MMP-2）. The cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine （EdU） staining were employed to detect the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells， and the scratch assay was employed to detect the migration of the cells. Western blot was employed to determine the expression levels of pathway proteins such as angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 （ACE2）， angiotensin Ⅱ type 2 （AT2）， angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 （AT1）， as well as proliferation and migration proteins such as typeⅠ collagen （ColⅠ） and osteopontin （OPN）. ResultsCompared with the model group， STDP increased the expression of α-SMA， reduced the expression of MMP-2， and inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells （P<0.05）. Furthermore， STDP up-regulated the expression levels of ACE2， AT2， and MAS1， while down-regulating the expression level of AT1， PCNA， ColⅠ， MMP-9， Rock1， Rock2， and SRF （P<0.05）. Compared with the STDP group， the ACE2 inhibitor reversed the regulatory effects of STDP. ConclusionSTDP inhibits the phenotype transformation， proliferation， and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells and regulates the expression of cell proliferation and migration-related proteins to ameliorate the dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells. It exerts the effects by up-regulating the expression of proteins in the ACE2-AT2/MAS pathway and down-regulating the expression of proteins in the AT1-Rock signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo characterize the evidence distribution and methodological quality of randomized controlled trials （RCTs） on oral Chinese herbal medicine （CHM） for atopic dermatitis （AD） based on evidence mapping. MethodsSeven databases （CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP， CBM， Cochrane Library， PubMed， and Embase） and the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were searched for the RCTs in Chinese and English. Evidence distribution was presented graphically and textually， and methodological quality was assessed via the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool （ROB 1.0）. ResultsA total of 168 RCTs were included. The number of annual publications showing an increasing trend， and 72.6% RCTs had sample sizes of 51-100 participants. The studies evaluated 108 distinct CHM interventions categorized as decoctions， granules， Chinese patent medicines， and extracts. Compound Glycyrrhizin was the most frequently used， followed by Xiaofengsan and Chushi Weiling decoction. Among the RCTs， 57.1% had the treatment courses of 4-8 weeks. Outcome measures predominantly focused on clinical response rate， skin lesion severity scores， and adverse events， with less attention to TCM symptom scores， skin barrier function， and relapse rates. The overall risk of bias was generally high. ConclusionWhile CHM for AD is a research hotspot and demonstrates clinical advantages， the related studies have problems such as unclear clinical positioning， poor research standardization and methodological quality， and insufficient prominence of TCM clinical advantages. Large-sample， methodologically rigorous， and high-quality studies are needed to enhance the evidence base for CHM in treating AD.

ObjectiveTo improve the efficacy of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge (A. membranaceus, Huang Qi), and to further develop and utilize it, fermentation technology was applied to the stem and leaf of A. membranaceus to enhance its immune function.MethodsIn this study, we fermented A. membranaceus stem and leaf (ASL) with probiotics and investigated its immune function. Firstly, we screened suitable strains for ASL fermentation and optimized the fermentation process. Secondly, we determined the antioxidant capacity of fermented ASL and its effect on inflammation in mouse monocyte-macrophage cell. Finally, the immunocompromised mice were treated with fermented ASL to investigate the changes in their immune ability.ResultsAmong the 10 selected probiotics, Lactobacillus plantarum was the most suitable strain for ASL fermentation. After optimization of the fermentation process, the content of saponins in fermented ASL was significantly increased. The fermented ASL exhibited strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities in vitro. The in vivo immune efficacy improved by promoting the development of the spleen and thymus, as well as raising the immunoglobulin M, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β levels of in the serum.ConclusionThis study contributes to developing the non-medicinal parts of A. membranaceus, expands its medicinal resources, highlights the potential of fermentation technology to enhance these parts, and provides a reference for further development. Based on this approach, we can promote using non-medicinal parts of herbal medicines, minimize drug waste, and offer a reference for developing non-medicinal components in Chinese herbal medicines.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and determinants of dry eye syndrome among civil aviation flight attendants.Methods:Data from 1 201 civil aviation flight attendants across 6 airlines, along with their eye examination and general health records from the previous year, were collected and analyzed between January and March 2024. A self-designed questionnaire was designed to assess risk factors to dry eye syndrome. The severity of dry eye syndrome of these civil aviation flight attendants was assessed using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scale before they were grouped based on OSDI scores. The Fatigue Assessment Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to evaluate levels of fatigue and sleep quality. Multivariable Logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with the severity of dry eye syndrome.Results:A total of 1 201 flight attendants were enrolled in this study. Questionnaires were distributed to all the participants, and 1 021 valid responses were collected, yielding a response rate of 85.0%. All flight attendants experienced dry eye syndrome. Among these cases, 657 cases were classified as moderate and 364 as severe. Logistic regression analysis showed that flying hours in the previous year ( OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.001-1.002), a history of eyelid disease ( OR=2.059, 95% CI: 1.311-3.232), fatigue ( OR=2.438, 95% CI: 1.633-3.640), use of preservative-containing eye drops ( OR=3.034, 95% CI: 1.800-5.113), use of artificial tears ( OR=2.431, 95% CI: 1.544-3.827), use of contact lenses ( OR=2.095, 95% CI: 1.381-3.179), refractive progression of <-0.50 D ( OR=3.102, 95% CI: 1.955-4.920) and -0.50 to <-1.00 D ( OR=3.846, 95% CI: 1.845-8.018), sleep scale scores of 6-10 ( OR=1.940, 95% CI: 1.258-2.993), 11-15 ( OR=2.730, 95% CI: 1.564-4.768), and 16-21 ( OR=6.010, 95% CI: 1.752-20.614) were determinants of the severity of dry eye syndrome. Conclusions:Dry eye symptoms are generally severe among civil aviation flight attendants. Priority should be given to monitoring sleep quality and fatigue levels, with particular emphasis on individuals exceeding 713 flying hours in the previous year for early detection of dry eye syndrome.
