Objective: To investigate the association of special family structure and physical activity with psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students, so as to provide reference to inform mental health promotion in the population. Methods: From September to December 2024, a convenience sample was drawn from 16 schools including 5 141 secondary vocational school students across 8 provinces (municipalities) in China (Fujian, Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang). A self developed questionnaire, Multidimensional Sub health Questionnaire of Adolescents and International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form were used to investigate and evaluate basic information, family structure, psychological sub health status and physical activity. Descriptive statistics and Logistic regression analysis were performed to explore relationships of special family structures and physical activity with psychological sub health in secondary vocational school students. Results: The detection rate of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students was 11.0%. The reporting rates for secondary vocational school students who lost their father or lost their mother, whose parents divorced, whose parents remarried, and those from special family structures were 2.8%, 0.8%, 11.8%, 3.9%, and 14.7%, respectively. Moreover, the detection rates of psychological sub health and its sub dimensions significantly differed among secondary vocational school students grouped by family type (divorced parental families, remarried parental families and special family structures)( χ 2=5.90-22.67, all P <0.05). Binary Logistic regression indicated that maternal bereavement was associated with a higher risk of conduct problems [ AOR ( 95% CI )= 2.90(1.15-7.33)], and parental divorce was associated with a higher risk of psychological sub health ( AOR= 2.71 , 95%CI =1.04- 7.06 ) among secondary vocational school students (both P <0.05). Interaction analysis showed that both students with a special family structure and insufficient physical activity [ AOR (95% CI )=1.99(1.44-2.75)] and those with a non-special family structure and insufficient physical activity [ AOR (95% CI )=1.81(1.48-2.22)] were associated with increased risks of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students (both P <0.01). Conclusion Special family structure and physical activity are associated with psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students; early identification and assessment based interventions for those with a special family structure should be strengthened, while school based physical activity should be implemented to increase physical activity levels,thereby reducing the risk of psychological sub health.

Objective:To understand the characteristics of faculty in high-level public health schools in China, and analyze the differences in age, area and school level.Methods:Based on the internet information, the faculty information of 18 high-level public health schools was collected for a descriptive analysis on faculty characteristics.Results:There were 1 642 faculty members in the schools of public health in China, in whom 51.8% were women, 92.8% had doctorate, 32.4% had postdoctoral experience and 56.8% were former students staying to teach. The average age of the faculty members was (45.6±9.8) years. Meanwhile the top three study subjects were epidemiology and health statistics (31.0%), occupational health and environmental sanitation (16.5%), and health toxicology (16.3%). In the faculty members aged >40 years, 90.2% had doctorate, 62.6% were former students staying to teach, and 24.7% had no educational background of public health. The proportions of faculty members aged ≤40 years in the three groups mentioned above were 98.2%, 45.8% and 39.1% respectively. In terms of study subject, big data study were mainly conducted in the schools with top subject ranking and the schools in developed areas.Conclusions:The public health faculty was characterized by cross education background and high capability. The study subjects and sub-disciplines varied with schools and areas.

ObjectiveTo study on the different therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma（RH） before and after steaming with wine on constipation model mice. MethodsFifty-four male ICR mice were randomly divided into control group， model group， lactulose group（1.5 mg·kg^-1）， high， medium and low dose groups of RH and RH steaming with wine（PRH）（8， 4， 1 g·kg^-1）. Except for the control group， the constipation model was replicated by gavage of loperamide hydrochloride（6 mg·kg^-1） in the other groups. After 2 weeks of modeling， each administration group was gavaged with the corresponding dose of drug solution， and the control and model groups were given an equal volume of normal saline， 1 time/d for 2 consecutive weeks. After administration， the feces were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing， the levels of gastrin（GAS）， motilin（MTL）， interleukin-6（IL-6）， γ-interferon（IFN-γ） in the colonic tissue were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）， the histopathological changes of colon were observed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion changes of CD4⁺， CD8⁺ and regulatory T cell（Treg） in peripheral blood. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed significantly decrease in fecal number in 24 h， fecal quality and fecal water rate（P<0.01）， the colon was seen to have necrotic shedding of mucosal epithelium， localized intestinal glands in the lamina propria were degenerated， necrotic and atrophied， a few lymphocytes were seen to infiltrate in the necrotic area in a scattered manner， the contents of GAS and MTL， the proportions of CD4⁺， CD8⁺ and Treg were significantly reduced（P<0.01）， the contents of IL-6 and IFN-γ were significantly elevated（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the fecal number in 24 h， fecal quality and fecal water rate of high-dose groups of RH and PRH were significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the pathological damage of the colon was alleviated to varying degrees， the contents of GAS， MTL， IL-6 and IFN-γ were significantly regressed（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the proportions of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ were significantly increased（P<0.01）， although the proportion of Treg showed an upward trend， there was no significant difference. In addition， the results of intestinal flora showed that the number of amplicon sequence variant（ASV） and Alpha diversity were decreased in the model group compared with the control group， and there was a significant difference in Beta diversity， with a decrease in the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and an increase in the relative abundances of Bacillus and Helicobacter. Compared with the model group， the ASV number and Alpha diversity were increased in the high-dose groups of RH and PRH， and there was a trend of regression of Beta diversity to the control group， the relative abundance of Lactobacillus increased， and the relative abundances of Bacillus and Helicobacter decreased. ConclusionRH and PRH can improve dysbacteriosis， promote immune system activation， inhibit the release of inflammatory factors for enhancing the gastrointestinal function， which may be one of the potential mechanisms of their therapeutic effect on constipation.

The problem of drug resistance resulting from the long-term use of antimicrobials is a serious threat to global health,and the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria,in particular,has greatly limited therapeutic op-tions.Therefore,the development of new or alternative antimicrobial agents has become an urgent need.Antimi-crobial peptides(AMPs)have been regarded as good alternatives to antibacterial drugs due to their strong antibac-terial activity and unique mechanism of action.At present,some AMPs have completed preclinical studies on drug-resistant bacterial infections and entered the clinical trial stage,while their stability and targeting have been signifi-cantly improved through the optimisation of amino acid modification,nano-delivery system and other technolo-gies,which have gradually become a research hotspot in this field.Therefore,this paper discusses the importance of AMPs in bacterial drug resistance from the biological properties of AMPs,the mechanism of regulating bacteri-al drug resistance and the application of AMPs in the treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections,with a view to providing a reference for the development of drugs against drug-resistant bacteria and clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the differences in clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with recent small subcortical infarct (RSSI) stratified by different etiological subtypes.Methods:A retrospective, consecutive analysis was conducted on 696 RSSI patients admitted to the West China Hospital, Sichuan University, from January 2019 to May 2024. Based on clinical and imaging data, patients were stratified into 3 etiological subgroups: presumed cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD)-related RSSI, coexisting carrier large artery stenosis, and coexisting proximal extracranial/intracranial large artery stenosis. The clinical characteristics, vascular risk factors, infarct imaging features, and CSVD markers were compared across the 3 groups. Additionally, the differences in clinical and imaging features based on the location of infarcts (anterior vs posterior circulation) and infarct size (<15 mm vs ≥15 mm) were examined. Results:Among the 696 patients, 557 (80.0%) had presumed CSVD-related RSSI, 68 (9.8%) had coexisting carrier large artery stenosis, and 71 (10.2%) had coexisting proximal extracranial/intracranial large artery stenosis. The patients with presumed CSVD-related RSSI were the youngest [60 (53, 69) years], followed by those with coexisting carrier large artery stenosis [64 (55, 69) years] and those with coexisting proximal extracranial/intracranial large artery stenosis [69 (55, 75) years; H=9.523, P=0.013]. Among RSSI patients with coexisting proximal extracranial/intracranial large artery stenosis, the proportion of those with diabetes (38/71, 53.5%) was the highest, whereas the proportion was 210/557 (37.7%) in the presumed CSVD-related group and 31/68 (45.6%) in the group with coexisting carrier large artery stenosis (χ 2=8.027, P=0.023). Patients with RSSI combined with proximal extracranial/intracranial large artery stenosis had more infarction sites in the pons and a higher proportion of proximal infarction. However, there were no significant differences among the 3 groups in terms of infarct size, or CSVD imaging markers. In the anterior versus posterior circulation comparison, patients with posterior circulation RSSI ( n=360) had a significantly higher age of onset [63(55, 72) years vs 60(52, 59) years, U=51 335.500, P<0.001], had higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, and showed higher NIHSS scores [3(2, 6) vs 3(1, 5), U=57 840.500, P=0.028]. The anterior circulation group ( n=366) showed a higher proportion of lacunas [152/336 (45.2%) vs 118/360 (32.8%), χ2=11.364, P<0.001], while the posterior circulation group had a greater prevalence of severe perivascular spaces in the basal ganglia [254/360 (70.6%) vs 203/336 (60.4%), χ2=7.879, P=0.005] and deep white matter hyperintensities grading≥2 [124/360 (34.4%) vs 90/336 (26.8%), χ2=4.787, P=0.029]. There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of infarcts between anterior and posterior circulations or in CSVD imaging markers between RSSI patients with infarction lesions ≥15 mm ( n=290) and <15 mm ( n=406). Conclusions:Approximately 20% of RSSI cases are related to large artery stenosis. These patients tend to be older at onset and have a higher prevalence of diabetes. Compared to presumed CSVD-related RSSI cases, RSSI cases related to large artery stenosis show no significant differences in infarct imaging features and CSVD imaging markers, suggesting that large artery stenosis in RSSI may be an epiphenomenon rather than a direct causative factor.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis-induced cell lysis and necrosis lead to the passive release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA (nDNA) into circulation. These DNAs bind to pattern recognition receptor (PRR), triggering excessive inflammatory cytokines production and increasing mortality. Three prime repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1) is a 3' to 5' exonuclease that rapidly degrades single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) by cleaving phosphodiester bonds. This process can prevent the accumulation of damaged DNA in the cytoplasm, thereby averting abnormal inflammation and pathological immune responses. TREX1 thus plays a significant role in regulating DNA-related damage caused by sepsis. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of TREX1 in sepsis have not been thoroughly discussed. This review aims to elucidate the structure and function of TREX1 and its mediated immune regulatory mechanisms, with the hope of clarifying the potential role of TREX1 in the field of sepsis.
