Objective To explore the accumulated effects of physical activity,sedentary behavior,and sleep on cardiorespiratory fitness(CRF)among college students and provide effective measures for enhancing their CRF. Methods From May to June in 2023,223 college students aged 18 to 24 years old were recruited from Tianjin University of Science and Technology for a 24 hours activity behavior survey and CRF testing.Compositional analysis was employed to investigate the relationships of physical activity,sedentary behavior,and sleep with CRF.Isotemporal substitution models were established to predict the effects of substituting various activity behaviors on CRF.Results The proportion of time spent on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity(MVPA)was positively correlated with CRF of college students(β=6.40,P=0.002),while the proportion of time spent on sedentary behavior was negatively correlated with CRF(β=-3.02,P=0.004).Light physical activity(LPA)and sleep were not correlated with CRF(β=-1.06,P=0.504).Isotemporal substitution results for 15-min increments showed that replacing other activity behaviors with MVPA significantly increased the CRF of college students[SB:1.72 mL/(kg·min),95% CI=0.94-2.51;LPA:1.82 mL/(kg·min),95% CI=0.95-2.68;sleep:1.64 mL/(kg·min),95% CI=0.84-2.45].In the dose-response relationship from -30 min to 30 min,reallocating time from other behaviors to MVPA had greater adverse effect on CRF than reallocating time from MVPA to other behaviors.Among all the substitutions,replacing LPA with MVPA had the most beneficial effect on improving CRF.Additionally,a 5-min increment was considered the optimal tipping point for MVPA replacing other activities.Conclusions This study underscores the importance of participating in MVPA for improving the CRF of college students.The isotemporal substitution model provides clear goals for the allocation of time for these behaviors,aiding in future intervention measure development and policy-making.

Objective To explore the effects of time reallocation among moderate-to-vigorous physical activity(MVPA),light physical activity(LPA),sedentary behavior(SB),and sleep on a body shape index(ABSI),body roundness index(BRI),conicity index(CI),and relative fat mass(RFM)of college students by the compositional isotemporal substitution method,thus providing measures for alleviating the obesity problem of college students. Methods Two hundred and ten college students(111 males and 99 females)aged 18-22 years old were recruited from Tianjin University of Science and Technology from April to June in 2023.Three-dimensional acceleration sensors were used to collect data of MVPA,LPA,SB,and sleep of college students.The body height,body weight,and waist circumference were measured,and four novel obesity indicators(ABSI,BRI,CI,and RFM)were calculated.The effects of substituting each activity behavior for 15 min on the obesity indicators were predicted,and the dose-effect relationship was explored at intervals of 5 min from -30 to 30 min.Results MVPA was negatively correlated with ABSI(β=-0.03,P=0.001),BRI(β=-0.27,P=0.049),CI(β=-0.10,P=0.001),and RFM(β=-9.95,P=0.004).LPA was negatively correlated with CI(β=-0.05,P=0.011)and RFM(β=-8.74,P=0.007).Neither SB nor sleep had correlations with ABSI,BRI,CI,and RFM.The results of 15 min isotemporal substitutions showed that increasing the MVPA time decreased the ABSI,BRI,CI,and RFM by 0.006-0.008,0.306-0.393,0.162-0.205,and 2.468-2.897,respectively.Decreasing the MVPA time increased the ABSI,BRI,CI,and RFM by 0.012-0.014,0.548-0.632,0.286-0.328,and 4.358-4.748,respectively.In the dose-effect relationship from -30 min to 30 min,MVPA was irreplaceable,and the negative benefits from substituting MVPA for other activity behaviors were much greater than the positive benefits from substituting MVPA for other activity behaviors.Conclusions Future research should take 24 hours activity behaviors as a whole.Increasing the time spent on MVPA and LPA and decreasing the time spent on SB is one of the effective ways to alleviate the obesity problem among college students.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and possible mechanisms of sofalcone on small intestinal mucosal damage induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)in rats.Methods In the first group of animal experiments,rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal control group,diclofenac group(diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1),and sofalcone high-doses groups(sofalcone 10 mg·kg-1+diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1),sofalcone medium-doses groups(sofalcone 5 mg·kg-1+diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1),and sofalcone low-doses groups(sofalcone 2 mg·kg-1+diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1).Each group received daily gavage for seven days.Serum D-lactate levels were measured,and histological damage to the small intestine was assessed through HE staining and pathological scoring.In the second group,rats were separated into three groups:normal control group,diclofenac group(diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1),and sofalcone group(sofalcone 2 mg·kg-1+diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1).Concurrently,the rats'body mass,24-hour diet,and water intake were monitored.Additionally,serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6,IFN-γ,TNF-α,inflammatory markers CRP and D-lactate,as well as measurements of tissue reactive oxygen species(ROS),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),and mitochondrial membrane potential were conducted using appropriate kits.Western blotting was applied to assess the expression levels of intercellular junction proteins(Occludin,Claudin-1,α-Catenin),programmed necrosis pathway-associated proteins including receptor-interacting protein kinase 1(RIPK1),RIPK3,and mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase(MLKL)along with p-MLKL.Results In the first experiment,the diclofenac group exhibited significant histological damage to the small intestine,with elevated levels of D-lactic acid and pathological scores compared to the normal control group(P<0.01).Following intervention with sofalcone,both the histological damage and the levels of D-lactic acid and pathological scores in the small intestine were notably reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01).However,there was no substantial difference in pathological scores among different doses of sofaclone groups(P>0.05).In the second experiment,compared with normal control group,rats in the diclofenac group showed decreased body mass,24-hour average diet and water intake,along with elevated levels of IL-6,IFN-γ,TNF-α,CRP,D-lactic acid,tissue ROS,LDH activity,RIPK1,RIPK3,and p-MLKL/MLKL protein expression levels,as well as mitochondrial membrane potential(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Moreover,Occludin,Claudin-1,and α-Catenin protein expression levels were reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Following sofalcone intervention,the previously mentioned parameters were reversed(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Notably,there was no statistically significant difference observed in the reduction of RIPK1 protein expression(P>0.05).Conclusions Sofalcone reduces NSAID-induced small intestinal mucosal injury in rats by inhibiting the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL-dependent programmed necrosis pathway.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by muscle rigidity, resting tremor, and postural instability, which severely impair the quality of life in middle-aged and elderly individuals. PD’s pathogenesis is complex, involving oxidative stress, immune inflammation, and genetic factors. Despite extensive research, precise therapeutic targets for PD remain elusive, necessitating further investigation into its underlying mechanisms. Recent studies highlight the pivotal role of regional brain iron overload, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation in PD’s pathogenesis. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death driven by iron dependency and lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a critical factor in PD pathology. This review examines the relationship between ferroptosis and PD and explores the potential of exercise as a therapeutic intervention to modulate ferroptosis and alleviate PD symptoms. Ferroptosis, distinct from other forms of cell death such as necrosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and apoptosis, is characterized by mitochondrial shrinkage, reduced cristae, and membrane collapse, without nuclear fragmentation, DNA cleavage, or caspase activation. It is induced by the accumulation of intracellular Fe²⁺, which enhances lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, ultimately leading to cell death. Studies show disrupted iron metabolism in PD patients, with elevated iron levels in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra correlating with disease severity. Iron chelation therapy has shown promise in alleviating PD symptoms by reducing brain iron levels, highlighting the significance of iron metabolism in PD pathogenesis. Lipid peroxidation, a hallmark of ferroptosis, involves the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in cell membranes, compromising membrane integrity and increasing permeability. Elevated lipid peroxidation in the substantia nigra contributes to neuronal damage in PD. Enzymes such as ACSL4 and LPCAT3, crucial in PUFA metabolism, play significant roles in ferroptosis. Exercise has been shown to modulate these enzymes, potentially reducing lipid peroxidation and preventing ferroptosis in PD. Glutathione (GSH) metabolism is another crucial factor in ferroptosis regulation. GSH depletion impairs ROS detoxification, exacerbating oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. PD patients exhibit reduced GSH levels in the substantia nigra, making dopaminergic neurons more vulnerable to oxidative damage. Exercise enhances GSH synthesis and activity, mitigating oxidative stress and ferroptosis in PD. α-Synuclein aggregation, a hallmark of PD, is closely linked to iron metabolism and oxidative stress. Excessive α‑synuclein binds to iron, promoting its aggregation and inducing ferroptosis. Exercise has been found to reduceα-synuclein accumulation and its pathological phosphorylation, potentially through the upregulation of neuroprotective proteins like DJ-1 and Irisin. These proteins enhance antioxidant defenses and facilitate α‑synuclein degradation, providing a protective effect against PD progression. Additionally, glutamate excitotoxicity, driven by dysregulated glutamate metabolism and receptor activity, contributes to ferroptosis in PD. Exercise modulates glutamate levels and receptor expression, reducing excitotoxicity and iron-induced neuronal damage. In conclusion, emerging research suggests that exercise may inhibit ferroptosis through multiple mechanisms, including regulation of iron metabolism, enhancement of antioxidant defenses, reduction of α-synuclein aggregation, and modulation of glutamate metabolism. These findings highlight the potential of exercise as a non-pharmacological intervention in the prevention and treatment of PD. Further research is needed to elucidate precise mechanisms and optimize exercise protocols for maximum therapeutic benefit.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of cyclopofol injection and propofol injection combined with afentanil injection in patients undergoing tracheoscopy under laryngeal mask ventilation under general anesthesia.Methods The patients to undergo tracheoscopy were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.Induction of anesthesia:treatment group received 20 μg·kg-1 afentanil,0.4 mg·kg-1 ciprofol and 0.2 mg·kg-1 cisatracurium;control group received 20 μg·kg-1afentanil,2 mg·kg-1 propofol and 0.2 mg·kg-1 cisatracurium.Two groups were given laryngeal mask ventilation for general anesthesia.The treatment group received 0.8 mg·kg-1·h-1 cypofol and 0.5-1.0 μg·kg-1·min-1 afentanil to perform the anesthesia maintenance;the control group was received 8 mg·kg-1·h-1propofol and 0.5-1.0 μg·kg-1·min-1 afentanil to perform the anesthesia maintenance.The vital signs,induction and recovery time,dosage of afentanil during anesthesia and safety were compared between the two groups.Results Treatment group were enrolled 70 cases,10 cases dropped out,and 60 cases were finally included in the statistical analysis.Control group were enrolled 70 cases,10 cases dropped out,and ultimately 60 cases were finally included in the statistical analysis.Three minutes after induction of anesthesia(T1),the mean arterial pressure(MAP)of treatment group and control group were(79.32±5.73)and(73.15±6.20)mmHg,the heart rate(HR)were(70.53±8.20)and(65.77±7.75)beat·min-1,respectively.At insert the bronchoscope(T2),MAP of treatment group and control group were(82.52±5.81)and(75.99±6.09)mmHg,HR were(70.27±7.94)and(65.42±7.73)beat·min-1,respectively.The MAP and HR of treatment group at T1 and T2 were significantly higher than those of control group at the same time,the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The induction time of treatment group and control group was(76.23±6.51)and(66.93±6.26)s,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The eye opening time during anesthesia recovery of treatment group and control group was(8.42±1.94)and(8.48±2.13)min,the intraoperative dosage of fentanyl was(3 456.67±608.51)and(3 515.00±619.41)μg,respectively,the differences of above indexes in two groups were not statistical significance(all P＞0.05).The incidences of injection pain during induction period in treatment group and control group were 3.33％and 30.00％,the incidences of hypotension in treatment group and control group were 18.33％and 40.00％,the incidences of intraoperative bradycardia in treatment group and control group were 3.33％and 13.33％,respectively,the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with propofol injection combined with afentanil injection,cipofol injection combined with afentanil injection can better maintain hemodynamic stability during anesthesia induction and maintenance in patients undergoing tracheoscopy under general anesthesia with laryngeal mask ventilation,and has better safety.

The extracellular domain (p75ECD) of p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) antagonizes Aβ neurotoxicity and promotes Aβ clearance in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The impaired shedding of p75ECD is a key pathological process in AD, but its regulatory mechanism is largely unknown. This study was designed to investigate the presence and alterations of naturally-occurring autoantibodies against p75ECD (p75ECD-NAbs) in AD patients and their effects on AD pathology. We found that the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) level of p75ECD-NAbs was increased in AD, and negatively associated with the CSF levels of p75ECD. Transgenic AD mice actively immunized with p75ECD showed a lower level of p75ECD and more severe AD pathology in the brain, as well as worse cognitive functions than the control groups, which were immunized with Re-p75ECD (the reverse sequence of p75ECD) and phosphate-buffered saline, respectively. These findings demonstrate the impact of p75ECD-NAbs on p75NTR/p75ECD imbalance, providing a novel insight into the role of autoimmunity and p75NTR in AD.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative treatment has become an increasingly important aspect of the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Small-scale clinical studies performed in recent years have shown improvements in the major pathological remission rate after neoadjuvant therapy, suggesting that it will soon become an important part of NSCLC treatment. Nevertheless, neoadjuvant immunotherapy may be accompanied by serious adverse reactions that lead to delay or cancelation of surgery, additional illness, and even death, and have therefore attracted much attention. The purpose of the clinical recommendations is to form a diagnosis and treatment plan suitable for the current domestic medical situation for the immune-related adverse event (irAE). METHODS: This recommendation is composed of experts in thoracic surgery, oncologists, thoracic medicine and irAE related departments (gastroenterology, respirology, cardiology, infectious medicine, hematology, endocrinology, rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, emergency section) to jointly complete the formulation. Experts make full reference to the irAE guidelines, large-scale clinical research data published by thoracic surgery, and the clinical experience of domestic doctors and publicly published cases, and repeated discussions in multiple disciplines to form this recommendation for perioperative irAE. RESULTS: This clinical recommendation covers the whole process of prevention, evaluation, examination, treatment and monitoring related to irAE, so as to guide the clinical work comprehensively and effectively. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative irAE management is an important part of immune perioperative treatment of lung cancer. With the continuous development of immune perioperative treatment, more research is needed in the future to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of perioperative irAE.

Objective To explore a kind of visual evoked potential test equipment and method that is more suitable for the application of forensic clinical visual acuity evaluation. Methods Thirty-four volunteers （68 eyes） were selected, including 15 males and 19 females, aged between 20 and 40 years. Test lenses were placed before the tested eyes of volunteers to induce refractive myopia with insert method, and the diopter lenses were adjusted so that the visual acuity level of one eye of volunteers was above 0.8, and the visual acuity of the other eye was at moderate damage level （<0.3 and ≥0.1）. The tests were carried out under the binocular simultaneous asynchronous stimulation mode （hereinafter referred to as "binocular mode"） and monocular separate stimulation mode （hereinafter referred to as "monocular mode"） of virtual reality-pattern visual evoked potential （VR-PVEP）, and the amplitude of PVEP of volunteers under the two modes was compared at four spatial frequencies of 8×8, 16×16, 24×24 and 32×32. Results The differences in the amplitude of P100 wave between monocular and binocular modes at 8×8 spatial frequency had no statistical significance and the differences in amplitude of P100 wave between monocular and binocular modes at 16×16, 24×24, and 32×32 spatial frequencies had statistical significance （P<0.05）. The amplitude of the same eye in monocular mode was higher than that in binocular mode. Through correlation analysis, it was found that the amplitude of P100 wave in monocular mode was moderately correlated with amplitude of P100 wave in binocular mode. Conclusion In forensic identification practice, VR-PVEP is helpful for overcoming the disturbance of poor fixation, and to increase the reliability of PVEP evaluation results. It can greatly shorten the detection time of PVEP and improve work efficiency.
