Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(3):332-336
Objective:
To analyze the trends of the frequency of meat, egg, and milk consumption among rural primary and junior high school students in central and western China covered by the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students (NIPRCES) from 2015 to 2023, so as to provide basis for formulating more targeted nutrition intervention policies and health education strategies.
Methods:
Using data from six rounds of monitoring and evaluation (2015-2021 and 2023), the study included 323 870 students from grade 3 to 9 across 22 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in central and western China. The consumption frequencies of meat, egg, and milk over the past week were collected via questionnaires. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to analyze temporal trends, and multivariable Logistic regression models were employed to analyze factors associated with the frequency of meat, egg and milk consumption and to test for interaction effects between the year and gender, region, and grade level.
Results:
From 2015 to 2023, the proportion of students consuming meat, egg, and milk ≥1 time/day increased from 23.20 %, 10.71%, and 0.74% to 35.53%, 22.09%, and 26.63%, respectively. Trend tests indicated a significant upward trend for the daily intake of all three food categories for meat, egg and milk over the years ( Z =67.18, 64.90, 93.14, all P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the daily meat intake was lower in the central region than in the western region ( OR=0.77, 95%CI =0.76-0.78), whereas the daily intake of eggs ( OR=1.19, 95%CI =1.17-1.22) and milk ( OR= 1.27 , 95%CI =1.24-1.29) was higher in the central region (all P <0.05). Compared with grade 3-4 students, junior high school students had lower daily intake of meat, eggs, and milk≥1 time/day ( OR =0.95, 0.77, 0.77, all P <0.05), with a declining trend as grade increased. Girls also had lower daily intake of meat, eggs, and milk ≥1 time/day than boys ( OR =0.95,0.93,0.91, all P < 0.05). Significant interactions were observed between year and region, as well as between year and grade (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
From 2015 to 2023, the NIPRCES improved the intake level of among rural students, but the situation of relatively insufficient intake of egg and milk among females, junior high school students and those in the western region still exists.
2.Analysis of health-related lifestyles among primary and secondary school students in nutrition improvement program regions of China between 2021 and 2023
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(6):788-791
Objective:
To analyze the features of unhealthy lifestyle patterns among primary and secondary school students in the nutrition improvement program for rural compulsory education students (NIPRCES) areas in China in 2021 and 2023, so as to provide data support for lifestyle promotion and healthy development among primary and secondary school students.
Methods:
Adopting a cluster random sampling method, data on primary and secondary students aged 7-15 years from nutrition and health surveillance of China NIPRCES in 2021 and 2023 were collected. The prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles among primary and secondary students such as physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, excessive screen time, and sleep deprivation by gender, school section, urban/rural, and region were analyzed. The reporting rates of the above indicators among primary and secondary students were compared by Chi-square test.
Results:
In 2021 and 2023, the rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity among primary and secondary school students were 79.2% and 80.4%, the rates of outdoor inactivity were 42.8% and 49.3%, the rates of excessive video time were 2.6% and 2.9%, the rates of sleep deprivation were 32.9% and 22.6%, and the differences were statistically significant( χ 2=51.86,1 071.48,18.36,3 296.99, P <0.05). In 2023, the rate of outdoor inactivity for primary and secondary students increased by 6.5 percentage points compared with 2021, and the rate of sleep deprivation decreased by 10.3 percentage points compared with that in 2021. In 2021 and 2023, the reporting rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, and sleep deprivation among girls and junior high school students were higher than those among boys ( χ 2=174.41,180.11; 175.75, 85.46 ;92.22,151.35) and elementary school students ( χ 2=136.64,5.75; 40.55,4.71;162.80,3 291.61); the reporting rates of moderate to vigorous physical inactivity( χ 2=194.43,118.60) and sleep deprivation ( χ 2=969.66,983.72) among urban students were higher than those among rural students; the reporting rates of excessive video time for boys and junior high school students were higher than those for girls ( χ 2=103.62,84.85) and elementary school students ( χ 2=810.09,626.51)( P <0.05). From a regional distribution perspective, the reporting rates of moderato to vigorous physical inactivity, outdoor inactivity, and excessive video time among primary and seconday school students in the central and western regions were lower than those in the eastern region ( χ 2= 663.44,302.78; 356.97,82.10;50.89,81.83) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Unhealthy lifestyles remain prevalent among primary and secondary students in NIPRCES areas of China. These findings underscore the need to strengthen policy implementation for promoting healthy lifestyles among primary and secondary school students.
3.Elevated blood pressure and its association with dietary patterns among Chinese children and adolescents aged 7-17 years
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(6):863-867
Objective:
To understand the prevalence of elevated blood pressure and its association with dietary patterns in children and adolescents in China, providing evidence for developing dietary intervention of hypertension in children and adolescents.
Methods:
Data were derived from the China Children s Nutrition and Health System Survey and Application Project(2019-2021). A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to include 7 933 participants from 28 survey sites in seven major regions of Northeast, North, Northwest, East, Central, South and Southwest China. Multivariate Logistic regression models were used to analyze associations between demographic characteristics, nutritional status and elevated blood pressure. Exploratory factor analysis identified dietary patterns, which were divided into three quartile groups (T3, T2, T1) based on factor scores (compliance for dietary pattern) from high to low, and multivariate Logistic regression model assessed the correlation between elevated blood pressure and dietary patterns.
Results:
The prevalence of elevated blood pressure was 15.4% among Chinese children aged 7-17 years. Significant differences were observed across nutritional status (reference: underweight; normal weight: OR =1.57; overweight: OR = 2.61 ; obesity: OR =3.85), urban/rural residence (reference: rural; urban: OR =0.86), and paternal education (reference: junior high school and below; bachelor degree or above: OR =0.68) ( P <0.05). The detection rates of high blood pressure in T3 group children and adolescents with four dietary patterns (staple food, animal based food, snacks, vegetables and fruits) were 15.7%, 14.6%, 16.8%, and 15.8%, respectively. After adjusting for residence, paternal education, and nutritional status, the "snack dietary pattern" (mainly candy, sugar sweetened beverages, and processed snacks) showed positive associations with elevated blood pressure in T2 ( OR =1.21) and T3 ( OR =1.19) tertiles ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
The snack dietary pattern is a related factor for elevated blood pressure in children and adolescents. Restricting unhealthy snack intake may promote cardiovascular health.
4.Correlation between beverage dependence and sleep quality among college students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(8):1125-1129
Objective:
To explore the relationship between beverage dependence and sleep quality among college students, providing empirical evidence for improving their sleep quality.
Methods:
From December 2024 to January 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 3 974 college students from four universities in Anhui Province. The Beverage Addiction Scale for College Students (BASCS) was used to assess beverage dependence, and the Self rating Scale of Sleep(SRSS) was used to evaluate sleep quality. A multivariate Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the relationship between beverage dependence and sleep quality, and a restricted cubic spline model was used to examine the dose response relationship between the two.
Results:
The positive rate of beverage dependence symptoms among college students was 7.6%, with positive rates of 9.6%, 13.8%, and 7.4% for the withdrawal symptoms, health effects, and dependence symptoms dimensions, respectively. The detection rate of sleep disorders was 23.6%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for covariates such as grade, gender, and body mass index, compared with the no beverage dependence group, students with positive beverage dependence symptoms had a higher risk of sleep disorders( OR =3.71, 95% CI =2.87-4.80, P <0.01). The OR (95% CI ) for sleep disorders among students with positive symptoms in the withdrawal symptoms, health effects, and dependence symptoms dimensions were 2.80(2.22-3.53), 2.38(1.95-2.91), and 2.45(1.89-3.18)(all P <0.01). Further analysis using a restricted cubic spline model revealed that the overall beverage dependence score and its three dimensional scores were approximately linearly related to the risk of sleep disorders among college students (all nonlinear P >0.05).
Conclusions
Beverage dependence is associated with sleep quality among college students. Schools should take multiple approaches, such as health education on beverage awareness, to improve students sleep quality.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and potential mechanism of plumbagin on the inflammatory response and oxidative stress in rats with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) based on Notch1/GATA3 signaling pathway. METHODS Ten rats were randomly selected as the control group; another 65 rats were used to establish the AECOPD model by inhaling cigarette smoke, intratracheal administration of endotoxin, and nasal inoculation of bacteria. The 50 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the AECOPD group, plumbagin low-dose group (10 mg/kg), plumbagin high-dose group (50 mg/kg), positive control group (dexamethasone 0.09 mg/kg), and high-dose plumbagin+Jagged1 (Notch1 activator) group (50 mg/kg+25 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Each group was administrated intragastrically or intraperitoneally with the corresponding drug solution or normal saline, once a day for 28 consecutive days. After the last administration, the lung function indicators (peak expiratory flow, the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 0.3 seconds to forced vital capacity), the number of inflammatory cells (white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, macrophages) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, the levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in lung tissue, and the contents of oxidative stress indicators [superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA)] in lung tissue were all determined in each group; the pathological changes of lung tissue and the pathological scores, as well as protein expressions of mucin 5ac (Muc5ac), Notch1 and GATA3 in lung tissue were also detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the lung tissue of the AECOPD group rats showed severe damage to the alveolar wall structure, with a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration and accompanied by pathological changes such as thickening of the airway wall; their lung function indicators, IL-10 level, and SOD content were significantly decreased; while the number of various inflammatory cells, IL-6 and TNF-α levels, MDA content, pathological score, as well as protein expressions of Muc5ac, Notch1 and GATA3 were significantly increased or upregulated (P<0.05). Compared with the AECOPD group, the pathological changes in the lung tissue of the rats in each plumbagin dose group were significantly alleviated, and the above quantitative indicators were significantly improved, and the improvement was more obvious in the plumbagin high- dose group (P<0.05). Jagged1 significantly reversed the protective effect of high-dose plumbagin on lung injury and related indicators in AECOPD rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Plumbagin can inhibit the inflammatory response and oxidative stress in the lungs of AECOPD rats, alleviate lung damage, and improve lung function. The above effects may be related to the inhibition of the Notch1/GATA3 signaling pathway.

Chinese Journal of Pathology 2025;54(4):381-386
Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes, and molecular characteristics of PRRX1-rearranged fibroblastic tumor and to discuss their differential diagnoses.Methods:Four cases of PRRX1-rearranged fibroblastic tumor retrieved from Anning First People′s Hospital and Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and their clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes and molecular profiles were analyzed. The literature was reviewed.Results:All 4 cases occurred in adult women with an age of 34(27,41) years. Three tumors occurred in the low extremities and 1 in the trunk. The patients presented with a slowly growing mass or swelling, accompanied by pain in 1 patient. Three tumors were located in the subcutis, and 1 tumor in the intermuscular space. The duration lasted for 6 months to 1 year. Tumor ranged in size from 4.0 to 15.8 cm (mean 7.3 cm). At lower power, the tumors were well circumscribed, showing a multinodular architecture. They were composed of bland ovoid to short spindled cells arranged irregularly with interstitial ropey collagen fibers, and set in a fibrous to fibromyxoid matrix with a close resemblance to low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. However, all 4 tumors showed negative staining for MUC4. Two tumors were focally positive for S-100 and SOX10. Apart from vimentin, they were all negative for other immunohistochemical stains including SMA, desmin, CD34, STAT6 and β-catenin. The expression of H3K27Me3 was retained. The proliferative index measured by Ki-67 was less than 5%. RNA-sequencing analysis identified PRRX1::NCOA1 fusions in 3 cases, and PRRX1::KMT2D fusion in 1 case. Subsequent FISH study confirmed NCOA1 rearrangement in 3 cases harboring NCOA1 rearrangement. On follow-up (1-14 months), no patient developed either local recurrence or distant metastasis.Conclusions:PRRX1-rearranged fibroblastic tumor is a novel entity of soft tissue tumor that has a predilection for the trunk and extremities, characterized by PRRX1 gene rearrangement and benign clinical course. Familiarity with its clinicopathological features is helpful in the distinction from low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma and other spindle cell tumors with overlapping features.

A young male patient was diagnosed with aplastic anemia accompanied by paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria(PNH),and achieved only partial remission after immunosuppressive therapy.Over the past year,his anemia worsened,leading to transfusion dependence,which was considered to be caused by active he-molysis of PNH.Despite switching to eculizumab treatment,his anemia continued to deteriorate.A detailed medical history revealed chronic periodontal infection,with periodontal pain,purulent discharge,and fever in the past month.Multidisciplinary discussion suggested that chronic odontogenic infection activating the comple-ment system was the primary cause of aggravated PNH hemolysis,and the acute infection affected the efficacy of eculizumab.Based on multidisciplinary consultation,a treatment plan was formulated,including intravenous antibiotics combined with periodontal irrigation and tooth extraction to control odontogenic infection,while con-tinuing regular eculizumab infusion.The patient's symptoms improved,hemoglobin levels rose rapidly,and he was no longer transfusion-dependent.This case provides an empirical reference for addressing difficulties en-countered in the treatment of rare diseases with new drugs through multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment.
