Objective: To investigate the association of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and screen time (ST) with emotional and behavioral problems in middle school students, so as to provide a basis for improving the mental health level of adolescents. Methods: Four public junior high schools in Jinshan District, Shanghai were selected by random cluster method from September 19 to October 18, 2023, with 779 first grade students included. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), as well as physical activity and screen time were collected. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between MVPA, ST and different dimensions of emotional and behavioral problems. Results: Students with MVPA<60 min/d accounted for 82.4%, and with ST>2 h/d accounted for 29.5%. The abnormal rate of SDQ dimensions among students ranged from 6.8 % to 19.3%, with the highest abnormal rate observed in behavioral problems. The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with high level of MVPA, students with low level of MVPA had a significantly increased risk of developing problems in prosocial behavior [ OR (95% CI )=2.16(1.37-3.41), P <0.05]. Compared with low level ST, students with high level had an increased risk of experiencing emotional symptoms, behavioral problems and peer interaction problems [ OR (95% CI )=2.00(1.25-3.22), 2.00(1.41-2.84), and 1.69(1.22-2.33), P <0.05]. Compared with high MVPA and low ST, students with low MVPA and high ST had an increased risk of developing problems in the dimensions of conduct problems, prosocial behavior, and overall difficulty score [ OR (95% CI )=1.92(1.13-3.23), 2.73(1.56-4.77), and 2.07(1.19-3.60), P <0.05]. Conclusions Physical activity and screen time are related to emotional and behavioral problems in middle school students. Insufficient physical activity time and excessive screen time might increase the risk of emotional and behavioral problems. Interventions can be administered on physical activity and screen time among adolescents to promote their mental health.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that severely affects the health of the elderly, marked by its incurability, high prevalence, and extended latency period. The current approach to AD prevention and treatment emphasizes early detection and intervention, particularly during the pre-AD stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which provides an optimal “window of opportunity” for intervention. Clinical detection methods for MCI, such as cerebrospinal fluid monitoring, genetic testing, and imaging diagnostics, are invasive and costly, limiting their broad clinical application. Speech, as a vital cognitive output, offers a new perspective and tool for computer-assisted analysis and screening of cognitive decline. This is because elderly individuals with cognitive decline exhibit distinct characteristics in semantic and audio information, such as reduced lexical richness, decreased speech coherence and conciseness, and declines in speech rate, voice rhythm, and hesitation rates. The objective presence of these semantic and audio characteristics lays the groundwork for computer-based screening of cognitive decline. Speech information is primarily sourced from databases or collected through tasks involving spontaneous speech, semantic fluency, and reading, followed by analysis using computer models. Spontaneous language tasks include dialogues/interviews, event descriptions, narrative recall, and picture descriptions. Semantic fluency tasks assess controlled retrieval of vocabulary items, requiring participants to extract information at the word level during lexical search. Reading tasks involve participants reading a passage aloud. Summarizing past research, the speech characteristics of the elderly can be divided into two major categories: semantic information and audio information. Semantic information focuses on the meaning of speech across different tasks, highlighting differences in vocabulary and text content in cognitive impairment. Overall, discourse pragmatic disorders in AD can be studied along three dimensions: cohesion, coherence, and conciseness. Cohesion mainly examines the use of vocabulary by participants, with a reduction in the use of nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adjectives in AD patients. Coherence assesses the ability of participants to maintain topics, with a decrease in the number of subordinate clauses in AD patients. Conciseness evaluates the information density of participants, with AD patients producing shorter texts with less information compared to normal elderly individuals. Audio information focuses on acoustic features that are difficult for the human ear to detect. There is a significant degradation in temporal parameters in the later stages of cognitive impairment; AD patients require more time to read the same paragraph, have longer vocalization times, and produce more pauses or silent parts in their spontaneous speech signals compared to normal individuals. Researchers have extracted audio and speech features, developing independent systems for each set of features, achieving an accuracy rate of 82% for both, which increases to 86% when both types of features are combined, demonstrating the advantage of integrating audio and speech information. Currently, deep learning and machine learning are the main methods used for information analysis. The overall diagnostic accuracy rate for AD exceeds 80%, and the diagnostic accuracy rate for MCI also exceeds 80%, indicating significant potential. Deep learning techniques require substantial data support, necessitating future expansion of database scale and continuous algorithm upgrades to transition from laboratory research to practical product implementation.

Objective:To develop a tool package that meets the routine statistical analysis requirements of population-based cancer registries in China based on R language, with the aim of improving data quality and efficiency, and promoting the nationwide scientific utilization of cancer registry data.Methods:The functional demands for statistical analysis of population-based cancer registry staff were collected through questionnaires or face-to-face interviews. Based on the concept of generic functions in R software's S3 object system, functions were developed by defining specific S3 classes for different data types, allowing the same function to perform diverse tasks depending on the class of input data. A stepwise development strategy was adopted to ensure logical coherence among functional modules, and all functions were systematically tested and validated in accordance with standard R package development guidelines.Results:Six categories of functions, including data reading, data manipulation, data processing, statistical calculation, visualization, and statistical reporting, were developed to support routine statistical analysis of population-based cancer registry data. Data reading functions support reading data formats required by the National Cancer Registry. Data manipulation functions empower conditional filtering of registry data and support regrouping, merging, or transforming the data based on registry attributes (such as urban/rural location) to accommodate different analytical needs. Data processing functions includes age grouping, International Classification of Diseases 10 th Revision (ICD-10) classification, childhood cancer classification, and population estimation. Statistical calculation functions permit the calculation of age-standardized rates, truncated rates, cumulative rates, cumulative risks, life tables, and expansion from abridged to complete life tables. Visualization functions can generate commonly used statistical charts, including population pyramids, bar charts, and line graphs. Statistical reporting functions can integrate key indicators, charts, and narrative descriptions into comprehensive cancer registry reports. Conclusion:An R package named Canregtools was developed based on the concept of S3 generic functions. This package is free of charge, open-source, and highly efficient. It can meet the diversified needs in cancer registry data analysis, visualization, and reporting through standardized data processing workflows, thereby enhancing the quality and efficiency of routine statistical analysis in population-based cancer registries in China.

[Purpose]To analyze the trends of incidence and mortality of malignant tumors in Linzhou City of Henan Province from 2010 to 2019.[Methods]The incidence and mortality data of malignant tumors of Linzhou cancer registration areas from 2010 to 2019 were collected and evaluated for data quality.The crude incidence/mortality rates and age-standardized incidence/mortality rates by Chinese standard population(ASIRC/ASMRC)were calculated by sex,age and can-cer type.Joinpoint software was used to calculate the average annual percentage change(AAPC)to analyze the trends from 2010 to 2019.[Results]From 2010 to 2019,the crude incidence of malig-nant tumors in Linzhou City showed an upward trend,with an AAPC of 2.09％(95％CI:0.58％～3.63％),while the ASIRC tended to be stable.The incidence of malignant tumors showed a signifi-cant upward trend in the 15～29 and 60～69 age groups,and a significant downward trend in the 70～79 age group.From 2010 to 2019,the ASIRC of esophageal cancer and stomach cancer in both men and women showed a significant downward trend,while that of lung cancer and prostate cancer increased in men,and the incidences of thyroid cancer,uterus cancer,cervical cancer,lung cancer and breast cancer increased significantly in women.From 2010 to 2019,the crude mortality of malignant tumors in Linzhou showed a significant upward trend,with an AAPC of 1.18％(95％CI:0.88％～1.48％),while ASMRC showed a significant downward trend,with an AAPC of-1.63％(95％CI:-1.86％～-1.40％).The mortality increased in the group aged 80 and above,while the other age groups remained in a downward or stable state.From 2010 to 2019,the ASMRC of stomach cancer and esophageal cancer in both men and women showed a down-ward trend,while those of prostate cancer,and malignant tumors of the lip,oral cavity and pha-ryngeal in men increased,and that of ovarian cancer in women increased significantly.[Conclu-sion]The disease burden of malignant tumors in Linzhou City is still heavy.The incidence of common cancer types such as thyroid cancer,prostate cancer and lung cancer shows a significant-ly increasing trends from 2010 to 2019.

AIM:To investigate the antitumor activity and targets of baicalein(Bai)in pancreatic cancer using network pharmacology combined with in vitro and in vivo experiments.METHODS:The targets of Bai and pancreatic can-cer were analyzed via multi-data screening.A protein-protein interaction network was constructed using STRING,and core targets were identified via Cytoscape.Functional enrichment was analyzed by Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Ency-clopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG).Antitumor effects of Bai were assessed in pancreatic cancer cells Aspc-1 and Bxpc-3 using MTT and colony formation assays for proliferation,flow cytometry for apoptosis and cell cycle analysis,and Transwell assays for migration and invasion.A xenograft tumor model was established to evaluate tumor proliferation,im-munohistochemistry was performed to detect the protein expression of AKT in tumor tissues,and Western blot was used to analyze the expression levels of AKT,β-catenin,N-cadherin and Slug.RESULTS:A total of 108 overlapping targets were identified between Bai and pancreatic cancer.Among these,7 core targets were recognized,including proto-onco-gene tyrosine-protein kinase Src,heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1(HSP90AA1),estrogen receptor 1(ESR1),tumor protein p53(TP53),epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),AKT1,and mitogen-activated protein ki-nase 3(MAPK3).The GO analysis revealed significant enrichment in oxidative stress response,protein phosphorylation,and serine/threonine kinase activity.The KEGG analysis primarily enriched the PI3K/AKT,MAPK and Ras signaling pathways.The MTT and colony formation assays showed that Bai inhibited the viability of Aspc-1 and Bxpc-3 cells in a dose-dependent manner(72 h IC50 values were 73.6 μmol/L and 83.4 μmol/L,respectively)and reduced cell colony for-mation(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Flow cytometry confirmed that Bai induced apoptosis of Aspc-1 and Bxpc-3 cells(P<0.01)and blocked the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Transwell experiments indicated that Bai inhibited the migration and invasion of Aspc-1 and Bxpc-3 cells(P<0.05 or P<0.01).In vivo,Bai significantly inhibited the growth of Aspc-1 cell xenograft tumors(P<0.01).Immunohistochemistry revealed a significant reduction in AKT expression in tu-mor tissues(P<0.01),and Western blot showed decreased expression of AKT,β-catenin,N-cadherin and Slug in both Aspc-1 and Bxpc-3 cells(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Baicalein inhibits pancreatic cancer cell proliferation,migration,and invasion,potentially through down-regulation of AKT,β-catenin,N-cadherin,and Slug expression.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the intraluminal characteristics of the occlusion segment and the degree of the primary collateral circulation(Circle of Willis)opening in patients with acute internal carotid artery occlusion(ICAO)and the occurrence of different subtypes of ipsilateral intracranial watershed infarction(WSI).Methods A total of 63 patients with unilateral acute ICAO accompanied by ipsilateral intracranial WSI were retrospectively included and divided into the internal watershed infarction(IWSI)group and the cortical watershed infarction(CWSI)group.The intraluminal characteristics of the occlusion segment and the degree of the Circle of Willis opening were analyzed using vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging(VW-MRI).Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was employed to identify independent predictive indicators for the occurrence of CWSI.Results There was no significantly statistical difference in the occlusion range between the two groups.The range of intraluminal high signal involvement,the ratio of intraluminal relative highest signal,the incidence of high signal at the end of occlusion,and the degree of the Circle of Willis opening in the CWSI group were higher than those in the IWSI group(P<0.001).The range of intraluminal high signal involvement,high signal at the end of occlusion,and the degree of the Circle of Willis opening were identified as independent predictive factors for CWSI.Conclusion VW-MRI analysis of the intraluminal characteristics of the occlusion segment and the degree of the Circle of Willis opening can help to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of IWSI/CWSI and can provide assistance in formulating etiology-based treatment strategies for clinical practice.
