Objective: To analyze the text structure, temporal evolution, and mechanism related shortcomings of policies related to family-school-society collaboration in promoting students physical and mental health in China, thereby providing a reference for improving collaborative mechanisms in the context of health promoting school development. Methods: The PKULAW Laws and Regulations Database was used as the data source. A total of 115 relevant policy documents issued by relevant departments from the founding of the People s Republic of China to May 7, 2026, were included. Drawing on the adolescent health policy analysis framework and adapting it to the Chinese contexts of family-school-society collaborative education, health promoting school development, and interdepartmental collaborative governance, policy text analysis was conducted. Multi label coding was applied to 629 semantic units, and fractional counting was used to calculate the weights of 6 main dimensions and 31 subdimensions and to describe the dimensional composition of the policies and its changes over time. Results: Policies related to family-school-society collaboration in promoting students physical and mental health gradually evolved from early principle based collaboration centered on the ideological and moral development of minors into institutional arrangements supported by the Healthy China initiative, the legal institutionalization of family education, collaborative education mechanisms, and health promoting school development. Among the 6 main dimensions, policy features and costs accounted for 54.8% of the total weight, followed by implementation considerations (22.9%), monitoring and evaluation (9.5%), policy appropriateness (5.6%), inclusion and coverage (4.8%), and participatory approach (2.5%). At the subdimension level, proposed interventions, target population characteristics, intersectoral linkages, consideration of adolescents social ecology, and goal setting accounted for 18.7%, 16.0%, 12.0%, 9.6%, and 9.4% of the total weight, respectively, whereas adolescent participation and the incorporation of young people s voices accounted for only 0.3% and 0.1% , respectively. These findings indicated that the policy texts focused primarily on problem identification, target population specification, and implementation arrangements, while provisions concerning students active participation, identification of differentiated needs, and support from disaggregated data remained relatively limited. Conclusions China has established a policy framework for family-school-society collaboration in promoting students physical and mental health that emphasizes goal setting, responsibility division, and organizational implementation, while gradually extending to specific health promotion tasks. Nevertheless, policy provisions concerning students active participation, the identification of differentiated needs, stratified and category specific monitoring, and the use of evaluation feedback require further specification.

Abstract The cooccurrence of multi disease among children and adolescents has become increasingly prominent, necessitating a shift from "single disease separate treatment" to "multi disease co prevention". Focusing on four common health problems in children and adolescents, namely, myopia, depression, overweight/obesity, and spinal abnormalities, the paper systematically reviews the association between four categories of factors, society, environment, family, and individual behavior, and the co occurrence of the aforementioned health problems. The findings indicate that particulate matter 2.5 exposure, light at night, physical inactivity, excessive screen time, and unhealthy diet constitute the primary cross dimensional risk network. Based on these findings, the paper proposes a collaborative action framework involving family, school, and society, emphasizing systematic strategies ranging from upstream environmental governance to downstream behavioral intervention, so as to provide evidence for the practice and policy making of multi disease co-prevention in children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the expression of nectin-4 and vanin-1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)and its influence on the malignant biological behaviors of ESCC cells,as well as the underlying mechanisms.Methods:Transcriptome sequencing combined with GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was used to identify the downstream target gene(vanin-1)regulated by nectin-4.The mRNA expression of vanin-1 in ESCC tissues was studied using the Timer2.0 database,and the mRNA and protein expression of vanin-1 in normal esophageal epithelial HET-1 and ESCC cells was detected by qPCR and Western blot,identifying ESCC KYSE-410 and KYSE-510 cells with the most significant differential expression.The expression of vanin-1 in KYSE-410 and KYSE-510 cells was knocked down using siRNA.The effects of vanin-1 knockdown on cell proliferation,migration,and invasion were measured using CCK-8 assay,wound healing assay,and Transwell chamber assay.Furthermore,KEGG and GO enrichment analyses were conducted for vanin-1-related signaling pathways.Immunohistochemistry was performed to compare the expression of vanin-1 between ESCC tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues.Results:Timer2.0 database analysis and qPCR results showed that vanin-1 was highly expressed in both ESCC tissues and cell lines(both P<0.01).WB assay also confirmed high expression of vanin-1 protein in ESCC cells(P<0.01).siRNA successfully knocked down vanin-1 expression in KYSE-410 and KYSE-510 cells.Knockdown of vanin-1 significantly inhibited the proliferation,migration,and invasion capabilities of KYSE-410 and KYSE-510 cells(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001 or P<0.000 1).KEGG and GO enrichment analysis suggested that vanin-1 might function through pathways related to pantothenic acid and coenzyme A synthesis metabolism.Immunohistochemistry results indicated that vanin-1 was highly expressed in ESCC tissues(P<0.000 1).Conclusion:Vanin-1 is highly expressed in ESCC tissues and promotes the proliferation,migration,and invasion of KYSE-410 and KYSE-510 cells through the nectin-4/vanin-1 axis.Targeting vanin-1 might offer a new therapeutic strategy for ESCC.

Cancer ranks as the second leading cause of death globally and has surpassed cardiovascular diseases to become the primary cause of mortality in developed countries. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), which play crucial roles in cancer recurrence, metastasis, and drug resistance, have attracted significant attention in targeted therapeutic strategies. Aptamers, with unique three-dimensional structures capable of specifically recognizing the surface markers of CSCs, show promising potential in targeted drug delivery systems. Compared with conventional antibodies, aptamers are praised for small molecular weights, low production costs, and easy chemical modification. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in aptamer research targeting the surface markers of CSCs, with particular emphasis on aptamer-drug conjugate systems targeting the markers including EpCAM, CD133, CD44, and ABCG2. Both in vitro cellular studies and in vivo animal models have demonstrated the definite anti-cancer efficacy of aptamer-based drug delivery systems, which are of great significance to develop novel therapeutic strategies and improving the therapeutic effects of CSC-targeted treatment. Thus, aptamer-based drug delivery system has broad application prospects in the field of precise cancer treatment.

To develop biocontrol agents for the control of kiwifruit bacterial canker, we isolated a strain CXG2-5 with inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), the pathogen of kiwifruit bacterial canker, from the rhizosphere soil of kiwifruit by the plate confrontation test. The strain was identified by morphological observation, physiological and biochemical tests, and molecular biological methods. The indoor control efficacy of the strain was determined by the inoculation of the strain into detached branches with wounds and into leaf discs by vacuum infiltration. The ability of the strain to expand and colonize leaf veins was determined by fluorescent labeling and scanning electron microscopy. Subsequently, the strain was prepared into microcapsules, the field control efficacy of which was evaluated. The strain CXG2-5 was identified as Pseudomonas benzenivorans. It demonstrated good antagonistic activity against Psa, with an inhibition zone diameter of 22 mm and an inhibition rate of 72.7%. The preventive effects of the strain on kiwifruit bacterial canker were better than the therapeutic effects on both detached branches and leaves, with the preventive effects reaching 65% and 92.4%, respectively. The control effect of microcapsules of this strain in the field reached 60.89%, which was slightly lower than that of 20% kasugamycin and higher than that of Bacillus subtilis wettable powder. In conclusion, strain CXG2-5 serves as a candidate for the control of kiwifruit bacterial canker, and the prepared microcapsules have good value for development and application.

Objective: To investigate the current status of sexual function and its influencing factors among pregnant women, so as to provide the reference for improving sexual health among pregnant women. Methods: From January to July 2025, pregnant women attending regular prenatal check-ups at Shanxi Children's Hospital (Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital), were selected as study participants using a convenience sampling method. Information on sociodemographic, pregnancy-related conditions, and sexual activity during pregnancy was collected through questionnaire surveys. Sexual function status over the past four weeks was assessed using the Chinese version of the Female Sexual Function Index. A multiple linear regression model was employed to analyze the influencing factors for sexual function among pregnant women. Results: A total of 424 pregnant women were surveyed, with the majority aged 30-<35 years (211 cases, 49.76%). Among them, 72 were in the first trimester (16.98%), 200 in the second trimester (47.17%), and 152 in the third trimester (35.85%). The overall sexual function score among pregnant women was (17.85±6.46) points. Scores for the six domains, desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain were (3.23±0.78) (2.21±1.20) (2.76±1.63) (2.95±1.68) (4.14±1.08) (2.56±1.96) points, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that cohabitation with a companion (β'=0.124), stage of pregnancy (third trimester, β'=-0.360), and changes in sexual practices or positions during pregnancy (β'=0.164) were statistically associated with sexual function scores among pregnant women (all P<0.05). Conclusions Sexual function declines among pregnant women, with mean scores across all domains falling below the critical threshold. Cohabitation with a companion and appropriate adjustments in sexual practices or positions according to the stage of pregnancy may improve sexual function among pregnant women.

BACKGROUND: Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are metabolites of arachidonic acid catalyzed by cytochrome P450 epoxygenase, are degraded into inactive dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Many studies have revealed that sEH gene deletion exerts protective effects against diabetes. Vascular calcification is a common complication of diabetes, but the potential effects of sEH on diabetic vascular calcification are still unknown. METHODS: The level of aortic calcification in wild-type and Ephx2-/- C57BL/6 diabetic mice induced with streptozotocin was evaluated by measuring the aortic calcium content through alizarin red staining, immunohistochemistry staining, and immunofluorescence staining. Mouse vascular smooth muscle cell lines (MOVAS cells) treated with β-glycerol phosphate (0.01 mol/L) plus advanced glycation end products (50 mg/L) were used to investigate the effects of sEH inhibitors or sEH knockdown and EETs on the calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells, which was detected by Western blotting, alizarin red staining, and Von Kossa staining. RESULTS: sEH gene deletion significantly inhibited diabetic vascular calcification by increasing levels of EETs in the aortas of mice. EETs (especially 11,12-EET and 14,15-EET) efficiently prevented the osteogenic transdifferentiation of MOVAS cells by decreasing nidogen-2 (NID2) expression. Interestingly, suppressing sEH activity by small interfering ribonucleic acid or specific inhibitors did not block osteogenic transdifferentiation of MOVAS cells induced by β-glycerol phosphate and advanced glycation end products. NID2 overexpression significantly abolished the inhibitory effect of sEH gene deletion on diabetic vascular calcification. Moreover, NID2 overexpression mediated by adeno-associated virus 9 vectors markedly increased insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and phospho-ERK1/2 expression in MOVAS cells. Overall, sEH gene knockout inhibited diabetic vascular calcification by decreasing aortic NID2 expression and, then, inactivating the downstream IGF2-ERK1/2 signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS sEH gene deletion markedly inhibited diabetic vascular calcification through repressed osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells mediated by increased aortic EET levels, which was associated with decreased NID2 expression and inactivation of the downstream IGF2-ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Objective: To explore the association between mental health and muscle strength among Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18, providing a theoretical foundation and intervention strategies for mental health promotion. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health, including 98 631 Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18. Psychological distress was assessed by using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and mental well being was measured with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (WEMWBS). Based on the gender and age specific Z scores of various test items [grip strength, standing long jump, pull ups (for males), and sit ups (for females)], muscle strength index (MSI) was constructed to evaluate the comprehensive level of muscle strength in adolescents. According to the Dual factor Model (DFM) of mental health, participants were categorized into four groups:troubled, symptomatic but content, vulnerable, and complete mental health. Gender differences were analyzed by using Chi-square tests, trends were tested with Cochran-Armitage tests, and multinomial Logistic regression models were applied to assess associations between muscle strength and mental health among adolescents. Results: In 2019, 37.4% of Chinese adolescents aged 13-18 were reported of high mental distress, and 59.9% were reported of low mental well being. Boys had significantly lower rates of high mental distress (35.3%) and low mental well being (55.6%) compared to girls (39.4%, 64.3%), and the differences were of statistical significance ( χ 2=176.13, 780.42, both P <0.05). In 2019, the rate of complete mental health among adolescents showed a downward trend with increasing age ( χ 2 trend = 258.47) and a gradual upward trend with increasing muscle strength levels ( χ 2 trend =123.14)，and both boys and girls exhibited similar trends ( χ 2 trend =103.83, 168.46; 57.00 , 67.34) (all P <0.05). The results of the unordered multiclass Logistic regression model showed that after controlling for confounding factors such as age and gender, when the completely pathological group as a reference, for every 1 unit increase in MSI in adolescents, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 29% ( OR = 1.29); for every unit increase in the Z-score for pull ups, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 6% ( OR =1.06) among boys; for every 1 unit increase in sit up Z score, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 19% ( OR =1.19) among girls (all P <0.05). Conclusions The mental health status of Chinese adolescents is not good enough. Muscle strength is positively associated with mental health.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the impact of TWIK-1 channels on abnormal pacemaker activi-ties induced by hypokalemia and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:The gene sequences encoding hu-man TWIK-1,specific TWIK-1 shRNA and TWIK-1-T118i mutant were synthesized and subsequently subcloned into lenti-viral vectors.To knock down the TWIK-1 gene in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes(hiPSC-CMs),the cells were transduced with lentivirus carrying the specific TWIK-1 shRNA sequences.For the overexpression of TWIK-1 or the TWIK-1-T118i mutant in HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes,the cells received lentiviral transduction containing the respective gene sequences.Patch-clamp techniques were employed to assess the effects of 1 mmol/L extracellular K+on the membrane potentials and whole-cell currents of the cardiomyocytes.RESULTS:Under conditions of 1 mmol/L extra-cellular K+,depolarization of membrane potentials was observed in the hiPSC-CMs and the HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes ex-pressing human TWIK-1 channel,leading to the induction of abnormal pacemaker activities.This phenomenon could be reversibly abolished by the removal of extracellular Na+or inhibited through TWIK-1 knockdown.In contrast,the mem-brane potentials of HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes expressing human TWIK-1-T118i mutant hyperpolarized,with no occur-rence of abnormal pacemaker activities.The hiPSC-CMs exhibiting abnormal pacemaker activities at 1 mmol/L extracellu-lar K+demonstrated TWIK-1-like Na+leak currents,which were blocked by quinine,a non-selective blocker of TWIK-1.CONCLUSION:The TWIK-1 channels play a critical role in the development of hypokalemia-induced abnormal pace-maker activities in human cardiomyocytes by facilitating Na+leak currents.
