Objective:
To examine the associations between 24 hour movement behavior allocation patterns and physical fitness as well as serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels among female college students, providing evidence for developing personalized health promotion strategies.
Methods:
In September 2025, 48 female college students aged 18-22 years were recruited from a comprehensive university from Shanghai. Continuous 24 hour movement behaviors were monitored using a triaxial accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+). Serum hsCRP levels were measured (≥1 000 ng/mL was log grade inflammation), and physical fitness indicators including upper limb muscle strength, vital capacity, and maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) were assessed. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between variables. Compositional data analysis combined with multiple linear regression was employed to construct isotemporal substitution models, evaluating the effects of substituting 30 minutes of one behavior for another on hsCRP and VO 2max .
Results:
Female college students had the longest average daily sedentary behavior (SB) time (643.2±103.2)min, which was higher than sleep time (452.4±90.0)min, light physical activity (LPA) time (279.0±76.8)min and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time (66.0±21.6)min. Correlation analysis revealed that vigorous physical activity (VPA) was positively correlated with hsCRP levels among female college students ( r=0.47, P <0.05). Substituting 30 minutes of MVPA with sleep, SB or LPA significantly reduced predicted hsCRP levels among female college students ( β = -0.90, -0.90, -0.73), replacing 30 minutes of sleep with MVPA significantly increased predicted VO 2max levels ( β =5.12) (all P <0.05). The low grade inflammation group exhibited longer durations of high intensity activity participation and higher mean values for height, body weight, and grip strength compared to the normal group ( t =2.17, 2.52, 2.21, all P <0.05). Within the normal inflammation group, MVPA was positively associated with VO 2max ( β =0.18), while sleep was negatively associated ( β =-0.07) (both P <0.05). In contrast, no statistically significant associations were observed between any activity behavior and VO 2max in the low grade inflammation group (all P >0.05).
Conclusions
MVPA exerts bidirectional effects on the health of female college students. While it enhances cardiorespiratory fitness, it may concurrently elevate chronic low grade inflammation levels. To maximize health benefits, intervention programs focused on increasing MVPA should also give full consideration to the importance of restorative sleep.

Based on cancer collateral theory, this paper proposes toxin-stasis accumulation in collaterals and yin deficiency with toxin hyperactivity as the core pathogenesis of postoperative recurrence of triple-negative breast cancer. Impaired qi transformation in collateral and depletion of yin interact, contributing to toxin-stasis binding, inadequate collateral nourishment, and unrestrained yang activity. The temporal dimension emphasizes yin deficiency with toxin hyperactivity and early reactivation of latent toxin; the spatial dimension emphasizes toxin-stasis accumulation and dissemination through collaterals. Treatment follows the principle of regulating qi and resolving collaterals. Before recurrence, emphasis is placed on nourishing collaterals to restrain latent toxin; after recurrence, on resolving binding while protecting collaterals. Herbal combinations are further tailored to disorders of qi, blood, and fluid collaterals and to the sites of dissemination, integrating treatment according to recurrence status and affected collateral systems. These theoretical propositions are intended to inform clinical reasoning and require clinical validation.

Objective:o evaluate the clinical efficacy of the induced membrane technique combined with an antibiotic-impregnated bone cement-coated plate fixation in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the distal femur.Methods:A retrospective study was performed on patients diagnosed with chronic osteomyelitis of the distal femur, who received the induced membrane technique combined with an antibiotic-impregnated bone cement-coated plate fixation at Southwest Hospital from November 2016 to December 2022. All patients underwent a two-stage surgical protocol. Stage I involved thorough debridement, placement of antibiotic-impregnated bone cement spacers, and internal fixation with antibiotic-impregnated bone cement-coated plates. Stage II comprised internal fixation for the repair and reconstruction of bone defects. Intraoperatively, microbial culture, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and pathological examination were conducted on bone tissue lesion samples to guide targeted anti-infective therapy. Postoperatively, laboratory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), along with clinical manifestations (e.g., incision drainage, redness, fever, and pain), were monitored to exclude infection recurrence. Infection control was ultimately confirmed by intraoperative frozen section analysis during the second stage. Additionally, bone healing was evaluated via X-ray of the affected limb every month after the second-stage surgery, and lower limb function was assessed using the final knee range of motion (ROM) and the lower extremity function scale (LEFS).Results:A total of 104 patients met the inclusion criteria, including 70 males and 34 females, with a mean age of 35.2±12.13 years. Thirty-seven patients were diagnosed with chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis (CHO) and 67 with post-traumatic osteomyelitis (PTOM). The mean follow-up was 25.48±6.61 months (range, 12-38 months). After the first-stage surgery, infection recurred in 6 CHO and 15 PTOM patients, requiring repeated debridement. Two CHO patients experienced infection recurrence after second-stage reconstruction, which was successfully controlled with further staged treatment. Five PTOM patients developed nonunion after second-stage bone grafting but ultimately achieved bone union after revision surgery. At final follow-up, CRP levels were 4.45±4.23 mg/L (CHO) and 5.16±4.26 mg/L (PTOM), and ESR levels were 5.47±7.42 mm/h (CHO) and 8.51±8.72 mm/h (PTOM), all significantly lower than preoperative values (CRP: CHO 68.31±65.61, PTOM 42.71±80.46; ESR: CHO 52.18±34.29, PTOM 45.87±39.13; all P<0.05). All patients ultimately achieved bone union. One PTOM patient with a preoperative rupture of the knee extensor mechanism had limited improvement in ROM (15° preoperatively vs. 12° at 4-year follow-up). In the remaining patients, knee ROM at final follow-up was significantly improved (CHO: 101.38°±43.73°, PTOM: 94.28°±43.94°) compared with preoperative values (CHO: 57.17°± 4.53°, PTOM: 39.61°±52.61°; all P<0.05). The final LEFS scores were 72.18±9.51 (CHO) and 71.66±10.25 (PTOM). Conclusion:The findings of this study demonstrate that the combination of the "Chongqing Technique" and the "Membrane-Induced Technique" is effective in eradicating chronic osteomyelitis of the distal femur, promoting bone healing, and restoring satisfactory knee joint function.

Objective:To investigate the methodological differences in the detection, the inflammatory markers and the pathogenic epidemiological characteristics of influenza A virus in clinical laboratories, in order to provide more diagnostic and epidemiological data for diagnosis and prevention for children with influenza A.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to collect 96 731 patients with suspected influenza A from January 2016 to October 2024 in Nanyang City Center Hospital from the Clinical Laboratory Testing Information System, including 5 731 patients with confirmed influenza A, aged 5.2 (2.8, 43.7) years old. We analyzed the distribution of influenza A patients from age and mixed infections, the relationship between patient age and positive detection rate by restricted cubic spline (RCS), analyzed differences in testing methods used Kappa consistency testing and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, established a model of inflammatory markers by logistic regression, as well as developed a prediction model and also the mutation of the hemagglutinin (HA) sequence of the influenza A subtype H3N2 virus using evolutionary tree analysis.Results:RCS analysis showed an inverted 'S' shaped non-linear relationship between the positive detection rate of influenza A and the age groups of the patients. Among the mixed infections, 1.43%(1 352/94 867) of the cases were combined with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The Kappa values of reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and serological indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) for detecting influenza A in nasopharyngeal swabs and alveolar lavage fluid in clinical laboratories were 0.632 and 0.809, respectively, and those of magnetic particle chemiluminescence assay were 0.614 and 0.668, respectively, and the area under curves in ROC curve of IFA and RT-PCR were 0.869 and 0.792, respectively. The inflammatory indexes were usually elevated in severe children compared with mild children. By binary logistic regression model analysis, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, D-dimer/fibrinogen and prognosis nutrition index were the risk factors and serum amyloid A/C reactive protein ratio was the protective factor for severe children with influenza A, and the OR values of the above factors were 1.760, 7.076, 1.045, and 0.719, respectively, and P<0.01. By the Bayesian Interdiction Criterion, the optimal seasonal autoregressive moving average mixed model for influenza A epidemics was ARIMA (1, 1, 1) (2, 1, 2) 12 with the highest prediction accuracy of 98.63%. The seven strains of H3N2 all belonged to the same isoforms, with nucleotide similarity of the HA gene ranging from 99.5% to 99.9%, and the glycosylation site, receptor-binding site, and the conserved amino acid residue Glycosylation sites, receptor binding sites and conserved amino acid residues remained unchanged. HA sequence analysis showed that the prevalent strains in Nanyang had undergone mutation to different degree compared with the vaccine strains. Conclusion:Scientific and rational testing and characteristic inflammatory markers in the clinical laboratory are of great clinical value in the diagnosis of children with severe influenza A. At the same time, the epidemiological monitoring of influenza A variants should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the alterations in the brain structural network properties related to cognitive emotion regulation strategies in young, first-episode and drug-naive (FEDN) patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).Methods:One hundred and twelve young patients who were diagnosed with FEDN MDD were enrolled in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between October 2019 and October 2023, and 143 healthy controls (HC) were recruited for reference during the same period. Clinical data and T 1 structural images of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging were collected from all participants, and the cognitive emotion regulation was assessed using the Chinese version of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-C). The brain structural alterations related to cognitive emotion regulation strategies were explored using whole-brain voxel-based morphometry (VBM) group analysis and individual differential structural covariance network (IDSCN) analysis. Partial correlation analysis was performed between the IDSCN anomalous structural concatenated edge and subdimensions of the CERQ-C. Results:The scores on the sub-dimension of negative cognitive emotion regulation (self-condemnation, rumination, catastrophization, blaming others) in the young FEDN MDD patients in CERQ-C were significantly higher than those in HC (14.28±2.30 vs 12.45±2.00, t=6.501, P<0.001;14.40±2.97 vs 11.31±2.93, t=7.934, P<0.001;12.19±3.75 vs 7.59±2.58, t=10.553, P<0.001;10.26±3.00 vs 8.74±2.89, t=3.916, P<0.001; respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in the VBM group analysis (all P>0.05). However, IDSCN single sample t test results showed significant group differences between the left orbitofrontal inferior gyrus and the left supplementary motor area, the left orbitofrontal middle gyrus and the bilateral precuneus, and the left superior temporal gyrus and the bilateral hippocampus (all P<0.05). With controlling for age, sex, and other factors, partial correlation analysis results showed that the left orbital inferior frontal gyrus-left supplementary motor area connection in patients with MDD was positively correlated with the self-condemnation and acceptance scores of the CERQ-C ( r=0.226, P=0.027; r=0.216, P=0.035), while negatively correlated with the score of blaming others ( r=-0.252, P=0.013). Additionally, connections between the right hippocampus and left superior temporal gyrus were significantly associated with the scores on catastrophization subdimension of the CERQ-C ( r=0.229, P=0.025). Conclusion:Due to its sensitivity to individualized analyses, the IDSCN analysis found that abnormal topological property changes were mainly manifested in the limbic system, the sensorimotor system, and the default network in young FEDN MDD patients, and were linked to their negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies, even though the VBM group analysis did not yield any significant results.
