Objective: To investigate the longitudinal association between biological rhythm trajectories and the risk of anxiety, depression, and comorbid symptoms among college students, so as to provide a cumulative empirical basis for early psychiatric tracking and mental health warning systems. Methods: Using random cluster sampling method, a baseline survey was conducted from April to May 2019. One comprehensive university and one medical university were selected in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, and Hefei City, Anhui Province, respectively. A total of 1 029 first year college students were recruited as study participants, and four waves of longitudinal follow up were carried out over a period of two years. The Self rating of Biological Rhythm Disorder for Adolescents was used to assess college students biological rhythms, and using the dynamic data from the first two follow ups to construct the trajectory of biological rhythm changes. Mental health outcomes (anxiety and depressive symptoms) at the end of the follow up period were assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Multivariable Logistic regression models were employed to evaluate the independent predictive value of distinct lifestyle rhythm trajectories on the detection risk of long term anxiety, depression, and their comorbid symptoms. Results: The prevalence rates of anxiety, depression, and comorbid symptoms among participants were 23.5%, 22.6%, and 16.7%, respectively. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as sex, major, smoking, and alcohol consumption, compared with the persistent low risk reference group of overall biological rhythm, the persistent high risk trajectory group of overall assessment had an increased risk of anxiety symptoms( OR=3.87, 95%CI =2.45-6.11), depressive symptoms( OR=3.18, 95%CI =1.98-5.10), and comorbid symptoms( OR=2.43, 95%CI =1.46-4.04)(all P ＜0.05).Among college students in the elevated overall assessment risk group, the risks of anxiety symptoms ( OR=1.97, 95%CI =1.22-3.17), depressive symptoms ( OR=2.13, 95%CI =1.33-3.42), and comorbid symptoms ( OR=1.81, 95%CI =1.07-3.06) were also increased (all P < 0. 05), and the various risks in the group with increased risks were also higher than those in the group with consistently low risks. Conclusions The dynamic deterioration and persistent disruption of college students lifestyle and behavioral rhythms serve as strong early warning indicators for long term anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mental health screening in colleges and universities should incorporate multi timepoint dynamic tracking of behavioral rhythms, and circadian rhythm regulation should be regarded as a core target for group level mental health interventions.

The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among children and adolescents continues to escalate, with cardiometabolic risk factors emerging as primary contributors to this concerning trend. Key contributing factors encompass obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. This developmental phase represents a crucial window for both physical maturation and psychological growth. Previous studies have demonstrated significant associations between cardiovascular pathologies and mental health outcomes. Given their immature physiological and psychological regulatory systems, children and adolescents exhibit heightened susceptibility to emotional dysregulation, predominantly manifesting as anxiety disorders and depressive conditions.Current research remains limited in elucidating the complex relationship between cardiometabolic risk profiles and affective disorders within this vulnerable population. Emerging evidence suggests that cardiometabolic disturbances may potentiate the pathogenesis and progression of mood disorders through multifaceted mechanisms including oxidative stress pathways, neuroendocrine system dysregulation, and maladaptive lifestyle patterns. However, substantial gaps persist in our understanding of the precise pathophysiological interactions underlying this association.This comprehensive review systematically examines the interconnection between cardiometabolic risk parameters and emotional disorders in pediatric populations. This article critically evaluate current assessment methodologies, epidemiological patterns, and clinical correlations while proposing mechanistic frameworks that integrate biochemical, neurological, and behavioral pathways. The analysis emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches to address this pressing public health challenge.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of liver injury in the Lieber-DeCarli alcoholic liver disease(ALD)mouse model and to analyze its transcriptomic profile.Methods Eighteen male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into an alcohol-fed group(n = 10)and a control group(n = 8).The alcohol-fed group received a Lieber-DeCarli ethanol diet,starting with an adaptive one-week phase using incremental concentrations of ethanol(10～57.3 mL/L),followed by 2 weeks of a 57.3 mL/L concentration of 95％ethanol,for a total of 3 weeks.The control group was provided with an isocaloric control diet for 3 weeks.At the end of the study,mice were sacrificed,and serum and liver tissue samples were collected.Serum liver function markers(ALT,AST),hepatic lipids(TC,TG),reduced glutathione(GSH),total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD),and malondialdehyde(MDA)were measured using biochemical assays.The levels of inflammatory cytokines(IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,TGF-β1)in liver tissue were assessed by ELISA.Histopathological changes in liver tissue were examined using hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Oil Red O staining.Immunohistochemical staining using the F4/80 antibody was employed to assess changes in macrophage expression.RNA-seq analysis was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes between the two groups of liver tissues,followed by GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis.qRT-PCR was used to validate the expression of these differentially expressed genes.Results Compared with the control group,the alcohol-fed mice exhibited a significant decrease in body weight(P<0.01).Serum ALT and AST levels were significantly elevated(P<0.01),while liver tissue levels of TC,TG,and MDA were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conversely,GSH and T-SOD levels were significantly reduced(P<0.05).The levels of inflammatory factors IL-6,TNF-α,and TGF-β1 were increased,which was consistent with the qRT-PCR validation results(P<0.05).Histological examination revealed disrupted hepatic lobular structure,with macrovesicular steatosis,microvesicular steatosis,and ballooning degeneration.Additionally,fat droplets in liver tissue were significantly increased,and macrophage expression was upregulated.Differential gene expression analysis,using a threshold of|log2 FC|>1 and q<0.05,identified 2063 differentially expressed genes,of which 1236 were upregulated and 827 downregulated.Enriched pathways included xenobiotic metabolism via cytochrome P450,cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction,chemokine signaling,steroid hormone biosynthesis,glutathione metabolism,and retinol metabolism.(P<0.05).qRT-PCR validation confirmed the significant upregulation(e.g.,Mmp12,Gstm3,Cyp2a22)and downregulation(e.g.,Serpina1e,Acmsd,Mup3d)of 10 genes from each category,consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results.Conclusions The primary pathological mechanisms underlying alcoholic liver injury involve pathways related to xenobiotic metabolism and act via cytochrome P450,cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction,chemokine signaling,glutathione metabolism,and retinol metabolism.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the ethanol extracts,total phenols,total flavonoids contents and HPLC fingerprints of typi-cal propolis samples from 6 foreign countries and 5 domestic regions,optimize the extraction process and evaluate the antioxidant activi-ty,so as to provide data support for improving the quality control system of propolis.METHODS The optimization of the propolis ex-traction process utilized flavonoid content as an indicator.Three flavonoid detection methods-namely,the aluminum trichloride meth-od,aluminum nitrate method,and polyamide method-were compared.The content of ethanol extract,total phenol content,and the scavenging ability of DPPH free radicals for each sample were determined.Further analysis was conducted using HPLC fingerprint pro-filing.RESULTS The propolis extract with the highest flavonoid content was obtained using 80%ethanol as the extraction solvent,operating at 50℃,with a stirring time of 3 h,ultrasonic power of 180 W,and ultrasonic time of 15 min.The aluminum trichloride method was proved to be the most effective for determining total flavonoids in propolis.While the ethanol extract,total flavonoids,and total phenols of propolis from Xinjiang,China were relatively low,their antioxidant activity exhibited superiority.HPLC analysis re-vealed,Brazilian red propolis lacked of chrysin,galangin,caffeic acid phenethyl ester and Brazilian green propolis lacked ferulic acid,apigenin,p-coumaric acid,chrysin,and pinocembrin.In contrast,the content of these four compounds in other samples varied,with the antioxidant capacity of the extracts not precisely corresponding to the compound content.CONCLUSION Propolis exhibits a complex chemical composition with significant variations among varieties.Key quality control indexes must be comprehensively consid-ered,encompassing physicochemical characteristics and biological activity.Establishing a multi-angle assessment system with a mate-rial basis-functional linkage is essential.This approach facilitates the realization of high quality and cost-effectiveness,thereby promo-ting the healthy development of the industry.

Objective:To investigate the biomechanical correlation between ankle instability and osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) under loading conditionsMethods:A healthy 29-year-old male volunteer was selected for the study. A 64-slice spiral CT scan of the right lower limb was performed to construct a detailed finite element model of the ankle joint, including ligaments and cartilage. Three injury models were created: models of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, lateral collateral ligament injury, and a combined injury of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral collateral ligament. Differences in stress distribution on the tibiotalar joint surface, talus stress, and talus displacement were analyzed through anterior drawer test, inversion stress test, and external rotation stress test.Results:In the anterior drawer test, as the forward traction force increased (40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 150 N), all the injury models showed a progressive increase in tibiotalar joint surface stress, talus stress, and talus displacement. The combined injury model showed the highest tibiotalar joint surface stress (32.6 MPa), while the lateral collateral ligament injury model demonstrated the highest talus stress (56.5 MPa). Talus displacement increased significantly with traction, reaching the maximum (4.88 mm) in the combined injury model under 150 N. In the inversion stress test, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface in the lateral collateral ligament injury model was concentrated on the posterior-lateral and posterior-medial regions, whereas in the combined injury model, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface was predominantly concentrated in the posterior-medial region. Talus stress was localized to the talus neck and body in all the models, with the combined injury model showing the largest talus displacement (8.46 mm). In the external rotation stress test, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface was mainly distributed in the posterior-medial, posterior-lateral, and anterior-lateral regions in all the models. Talus stress was concentrated at the talus neck and body. The combined injury model exhibited the greatest talus displacement (12.50 mm).Conclusion:Ankle instability, particularly from combined injuries of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral collateral ligament, significantly increases the stress concentration and talus displacement under loading conditions, thus elevating the risk of OLT.
