Objective:To understand the occurrence of different patterns of multimorbidity among children and adolescents aged 9-18 in Tianjin City and analyze the cumulative effects of lifestyle on these patterns of multimorbidity.Methods:From September to November 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select students from primary schools, junior high schools, general high schools, and vocational schools in 16 districts of Tianjin to screen for height, weight, blood pressure, distant vision, and diopter. One year later, a follow-up measurement and questionnaire survey were conducted. The log-binomial model was used to analyze the strength of the association between lifestyle factors and different patterns of multimorbidity.Results:The age of 9 488 students was (12.37±2.49) years old, including 4 999 boys and 4 489 girls. The detection rates of three patterns of multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure, overweight obesity and myopia, and overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia were 6.63%, 9.32%, and 4.21%, respectively. The detection rates of the three types of multimorbidity in boys were higher than those in girls (all P<0.001). The detection rate of overweight obesity and high blood pressure in suburban areas was higher than that in urban areas ( P=0.002). The detection rate of overweight obesity and myopia in suburban areas was lower than that in urban areas ( P=0.034). The detection rate of overweight obesity and myopia among those aged 9-12 years old was higher than other age groups (all P<0.001). The ARR (95% CI) for the association between favorable physical activity and the occurrence of overweight obesity and high blood pressure was 0.79 (0.68-0.92). The ARR (95% CI) for the association between favorable physical activity and the occurrence of overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia was 0.82 (0.67-0.99). Compared with children and adolescents with 0-2 favorable lifestyle factors, those with 4-5 favorable lifestyle factors had a lower risk of overweight obesity and high blood pressure ( ARR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.59-0.92). Conclusion:Boys aged 9-18 in Tianjin City are more prone to multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure, overweight obesity and myopia, and overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia. Children and adolescents with 4-5 favorable lifestyle factors have a reduced risk of occurrence of overweight obesity and high blood pressure. Lifestyle has cumulative effects on multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure.

ObjectiveSerum metabolomics of acute lung injury(ALI) in rats was conducted using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) to explore the similarities and differences in the mechanism of Qingqiao(harvested when the fruits of Forsythiae Fructus were initially ripe and still green in color) and Laoqiao(harvested when the fruits of Forsythiae Fructus were ripe) in the treatment of ALI. MethodA total of 24 SD male rats were acclimatized and fed for 1 week, 6 of them were randomly selected for the blank group and 18 for the experimental group. The ALI model was induced in the experimental group by tracheal intubation with lipopolysaccharide(LPS). After successfully constructing the ALI model, these rats was randomly divided into model group, Qingqiao group and Laoqiao group, with 6 rats in each group. The Qingqiao and Laoqiao groups were administered orally once a day at a dose of 1.5 g·kg-1, while the blank and model groups received an equivalent volume of saline for 3 consecutive days. The pathological conditions of rat lung tissues were comprehensively assessed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, wet-to-dry mass ratio(W/D) of lung tissues, and protein concentration in rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF). The levels of interleukin(IL)-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α in BALF were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to identify and analyze the chemical compositions of Qingqiao and Laoqiao, and serum metabolomics of rats in each group was analyzed, combined with multivariate statistical analysis with variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1, P<0.05 from t-test, and fold change(FC)≥1.5 or FC≤0.5 to screen the differential metabolites Qingqiao and Laoqiao for the treatment of ALI. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) database was used in combination with MetaboAnalyst for the metabolic pathway analysis of the screened differential metabolites. ResultCompared with the blank group, rats in the model group exhibited enlarged alveolar lumen, ruptured alveoli, interstitial hemorrhage, bronchial exudation of a large number of neutrophils and erythrocytes, and a significant increase in the protein concentration in the BALF and the W/D value of the lung tissues(P<0.01). In contrast, compared with the model group, rats in the Qingqiao group and the Laoqiao group showed reduced bronchial hemorrhage in the lungs, and the protein concentration in the BALF and the W/D value of the lung tissues were significantly decreased(P<0.01), the lung injury was significantly alleviated, but more obvious in the Qingqiao group. Compared with the blank group, the expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in the BALF of the model group were significantly higher(P<0.01). Additionally, compared with the model group, the expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in the Qingqiao and Laoqiao groups were significantly lower(P<0.01). The chemical composition analysis of Qingqiao and Laoqiao revealed that 63 components were detected in Qingqiao and 55 components were detected in Laoqiao, with 47 common components, 16 components unique to Qingqiao and 8 components unique to Laoqiao. Characterizing the differences in serum metabolomics in rats, 19 and 12 metabolites were called back by Qingqiao and Laoqiao, respectively. The metabolic pathway enrichment analysis showed that Qingqiao exerted its therapeutic effects by affecting 6 key metabolic pathways, including linoleic acid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, glycerophospholipid metabolism, α-linolenic acid metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism, and Laoqiao exerted therapeutic effects by affecting 6 key metabolic pathways, including linoleic acid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. ConclusionQingqiao and Laoqiao have therapeutic effects on ALI, and Qingqiao is more effective. Both of them can play a therapeutic role in ALI by regulating amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism, but the metabolic pathways affected by them are different.

Objective:
To analyze the acute effects of exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) components on primary school students lung function, so as to provide a scientific basis for protecting childrens respiratory health.
Methods:
From 2019 to 2021, the study selected a total of 2 120 primary school students from grades 3 to 5 in Tianjin using a stratified random sampling method to undergo lung function tests. At the same time, the shortterm exposure levels were simulated by combining PM2.5 components and student addresses, and the acute impact of PM2.5 exposure on primary school students lung function was analyzed by generalized linear models (GLM) and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression models.
Results:
The average daily concentration of PM2.5 in the air of Tianjin from 2019 to 2021 was 81.14 μg/m3, which was higher than the national standard. The results of lung function testing showed that there was no statistically significant difference in lung function measurement indicators such as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), 75% forced expiratory volume in 75 (FEF75), and 25% forced expiratory volume in 25 (FEF25) among primary school students in different regions of Tianjin (F=1.23, 0.87, 2.34, 1.56, 0.98, P>0.05). But the GLM analysis results showed that all components of PM2.5 in the air had adverse effects on the lung function indicators of primary school students. When the concentrations of fluorene (FLU) and pyrene (PYR) increased by 10 ng/m3, the FVC of primary school students decreased by 166.44 and 61.94 L respectively. The WQS regression model analysis results showed that the mixed exposure of PM2.5 components particularly significant damaging effects on lung function indicators in primary school students, especially the FLU and PYR components in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as the heavy metal lead.
Conclusions
Both single and mixed exposure to various PM2.5 components in the air have adverse effects on the lung function of primary school students. Among them, the influences of FLU and PYR in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as heavy metal Pb, are particularly significant.Potential pollution sources should be controlled to protect the respiratory health of primary school students by comprehensive prevention and control measures.

Objective:To explore the differences in clinical and injured vertebra radiological parameters between patients with non-traumatic osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) and those with traumatic OVCF after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 369 OVCF patients (with 458 vertebrae injured) who had been treated by PVP at Department of Orthopaedics, Beijing Luhe Hospital between October 2015 and March 2017. There were 292 females and 77 males with a mean age of 73 (60, 79) years. Based on the absence or presence of a trauma history, the patients were stratified into a non-traumatic group (127 patients with 160 vertebrae injured) and a traumatic group (242 patients with 298 vertebrae injured). Clinical parameters [age, gender, body mass index, symptomatic duration, and number of injured vertebrae, visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), duration of follow-up, and rate of new OVCFs] and injured vertebra radiological parameters (position of injured vertebra, fracture type, compression severity, fracture range, cortical defect, intravertebral cleft, spinal canal compromise, basivertebral foramen, morphology of bone cement, range of bone cement, cement leakage, cement volume, rate of vertebral height restoration, recollapse of cemented vertebrae) were recorded perioperatively. All the clinical and radiological parameters were compared between the 2 groups.Results:Compared with the traumatic group, the non-traumatic group had an older age [75 (71, 83) years versus 71 (65, 76) years], more females (85.0% versus 76.0%), a longer symptomatic duration [10.0 (7.0, 15.0) d versus 6.5 (2.0, 12.0) d], a lower preoperative VAS pain score [7 (6, 8) points versus 7 (7, 8) points], a lower VAS pain score at postoperative day 1 [2 (2, 3) points versus 2 (2, 3) points], a lower preoperative ODI [66% (63%, 72%) versus 70% (65%, 73 %)], a lower ODI at postoperative day 1 [32% (30%, 34%) versus 32% (31%, 34%)], a higher rate of new OVCFs during follow-up (34.6% versus 12.8%), a lower rate of thoracolumbar lesions (51.9% versus 70.1%), more deformed fractures (mostly amphicoelous type), a lower rate of cortical defects in the anterior wall (20.0% versus 31.5%), a higher rate of trabecular pattern of cement (83.1% versus 71.8%), a higher rate of type-B cement leakage (50.6% versus 31.9%), a lower rate of type-C cement leakage (5.6% versus 12.8%), a lower rate of recollapse of cemented vertebrae (43.8% versus 55.4%). All the comparisons above were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the other clinical or radiological parameters ( P>0.05). Conclusions:There are statistically significant differences in a significant number of clinical and injured vertebra radiological parameters between patients with non-traumatic OVCF and those with traumatic OVCF after PVP. It is noteworthy that non-traumatic OVCFs are one specific subgroup of OVCFs.

Objective:To clarify the effects of microwave radiation on anxiety-like behavior, the histomorphology of the secondary visual cortex, and calcium activity in neurons.Methods:36 C57BL/6N mice were selected and divided into control group and microwave radiation group according to the random number table method. In the simple behavioral testing, there were 8 mice in the control group and 7 mice in the radiation group. Combining fiber optic recording with behavioral experiments, there were 8 mice in the control group and 7 mice in the radiation group. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was conducted with 3 mice in each group. A high-power microwave simulated source in the X-band with a center frequency of 9.875 GHz and an average power density of 12 mW/cm 2 was used to irradiate the mice for 15 minutes, establishing a microwave radiation animal model. Then, anxiety-like behavior changes in the radiation group were identified using the open-field and elevated plus maze (EPM) tests. The effects of microwave radiation on the histomorphology of the secondary visual cortex were investigated using HE staining and optical microscopy. Based on the genetically encoded calcium imaging technique, as well as optical fiber recording combined with behavioral paradigms in the open field and the EPM, the changes of calcium activity in neurons in the V2M region of the secondary visual cortex were detected. Results:Compared to the control group, the radiation group showed a significant decrease in the frequency of exploring the central region of the open field and the open arm of the EPM ( t = 2.24, 3.10, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the radiation group exhibited the degeneration and apoptosis of some neurons in the secondary visual cortex, primarily manifested as pyknosis and deep staining, cell body shrinkage, and the slightly widening of perivascular space. Fiber optic recordings and behavioral experiments indicated that compared to the control group, mice in the radiation group exhibited significantly increased calcium activities in neurons of the secondary visual cortex when exploring the central region of the open field ( t = -2.75, P < 0.05) or the open arm of the EPM ( t = -2.77, -3.41, P < 0.05) compared to those before radiation after microwave exposure. Conclusions:Microwave radiation can induce anxiety-like behaviors and histopathological changes in the secondary visual cortex. Increased calcium activity in neurons of the secondary visual cortex is proved to be an important mechanism underlying the changes in anxiety-like behavior due to microwave radiation.

Objective:Sepsis-associated cognitive dysfunction is a common complication in patients with sepsis and lack of effective treatment.Its pathological mechanisms remain unclear.Salt-induced kinase(SIK)is an important molecule in the regulation of metabolism,immunity,and inflammatory response.It is associated with the development of many neurological diseases.This study aims to investigate the expression of SIK in the hippocampus of septic mice,and to evaluate the role and mechanism of the SIK inhibitor HG-9-91-01 in sepsis-associated cognitive dysfunction. Methods:Firstly,C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group(Con group)and a sepsis model group[lipopolysaccharide(LPS)group].The model group was injected intraperitoneally with LPS at a dose of 8 mg/kg and the Con group was injected with an equal volume of normal saline.Hippocampal tissues were harvested at 1,3,and 6 days after injection and the expressions of SIK1,SIK2,and SIK3 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)and Western blotting.Secondly,C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a Con group,a LPS group,and a SIK inhibitor group(HG group).The LPS and HG groups were injected with LPS to establish a sepsis model;in the HG group,HG-9-91-01(10 mg/kg)was injected intraperitoneally at 3-6 days after LPS injection,and the LPS group was injected with the same volume of vehicle.Cognitive function was assessed at 7-11 days after LPS injection using the Morris water maze(MWM).Hippocampal tissues were harvested after the behavioral tests,and the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors and microglial markers were assessed by qPCR.The protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),CD68,ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1(Iba-1),N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)receptor(NR)subunit,cAMP response element-binding protein(CREB)-regulated transcription coactivator 1(CRTC1),and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1)were detected by Western blotting.Immunohistochemistry(IHC)was used to detect the expression of Iba-1 positive cells in the CA1,CA3 and dentate gyrus(DG)of the hippocampus,followed by Sholl analysis. Results:Compared with the Con group,the mRNA and protein levels of SIK1,SIK2,and SIK3 in the hippocampus were increased in the LPS group(all P<0.05).Compared with the Con group,mice in the LPS group had a significantly longer escape latency,a lower percentage of target quadrant dwell time and a reduced locomotor speed(all P<0.05);the HG group had a decreased escape latency and an increased percentage of time spent in the target quadrant in comparison with the LPS group(both P<0.05).The mRNA levels of inflammatory factors[tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6)],and the M1-type microglial markers iNOS and CD68 in the hippocampus of the LPS group were increased in comparison with the Con group,while the M2-type microglial markers CD206 and arginase-1(Arg-1)were decreased.Compared with the LPS group,the mRNA levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,and iNOS were downregulated,while the levels of CD206 and Arg-1 were upregulated in the HG group(all P<0.05).The protein levels of iNOS,CD68,and Iba-1 in the hippocampus of the LPS group were increased in comparison with the Con group,but they were downregulated in the HG group in comparison with the LPS group(all P<0.05).The number of Iba-1 positive cells in CA1,CA3,and DG of the hippocampus was increased in the LPS group in comparison with the Con group,but they were decreased in the HG group in comparison with the LPS group(all P<0.05).Sholl analysis showed that the number of intersections at all radii between 8-38 μm from the microglial soma was decreased in the LPS group in comparison with the Con group(all P<0.05).Compared with the LPS group,the number of intersections at all radii between 14-20 μm was significantly increased in the HG group(all P<0.05).The protein levels of NR subunit NR1,NR2A,NR2B,and IGF-1 were downregulated in the hippocampus of the LPS group in comparison with the Con group,while the expression of phosphorylated CRTC1(p-CRTC1)was increased.Compared with the LPS group,the levels of NR1,NR2A,NR2B,and IGF-1 were upregulated,while p-CRTC1 was downregulated in the HG group(all P<0.05). Conclusion:SIK expression is upregulated in the hippocampus of septic mice.The SIK inhibitor HG-9-91-01 ameliorates sepsis-associated cognitive dysfunction in mice,and the mechanism may involve in the activation of the CRTC1/IGF-1 pathway,inhibition of neuroinflammation,and enhancement of synaptic plasticity.

Objective:To investigate the effects of butylphthalide combined with ozagrel sodium on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, activities of daily living (ADL) score, and coagulation function in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:Ninety-four patients with acute cerebral infarction who were admitted to Gujiao Medical Group Central Hospital from January 2019 to November 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo treatment with either ozagrel sodium (control group, n = 47) or butylphthalide combined with ozagrel sodium (observation group, n = 47) for 14 consecutive days. Before and after treatment, NIHSS score, ADL score, coagulation function (thrombin time, prothrombin time, D-dimer, activated partial thrombin time), bilateral middle cerebral artery blood flow status (mean blood flow velocity (Vm), resistance index, pulsatility index), brain tissue damage factor (brain natriuretic peptide, neuron-specific enolase, S100 β protein) and the incidence of adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in NIHSS and ADL scores between the two groups (both P > 0.05). After treatment, the NIHSS score was significantly lower in the observation group than that in the control group [(8.70 ± 1.62) points vs. (9.45 ± 1.2) points, t = 2.51, P < 0.05]; the ADL score was significantly higher in the observation group than that in the control group [(65.15 ± 7.41) points vs. (61.20 ± 6.32) points, t = 2.78, P < 0.05]. Before treatment, there were no significant differences in thrombin time, prothrombin time, D-dimer, and activated partial thrombin time between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After treatment, thrombin time, prothrombin time, and activated partial thrombin time were significantly higher in the observation group than those in the control group ( t = 4.34, 3.00, 2.63, all P < 0.05). After treatment, D-dimer level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 3.39, P < 0.05). Before treatment, mean blood flow velocity, resistance index, and pulsatility index were similar between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After treatment, the mean blood flow velocity in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 3.23, P < 0.05). The pulsatility index and resistance index were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group ( t = 2.14, 3.16, both P < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in brain natriuretic peptide, neuron-specific enolase, and S100 β protein levels between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After treatment, brain natriuretic peptide, neuron-specific enolase, and S100 β protein levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 3.09, 2.18, 3.33, all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between the observation and control groups [6.38% (3/47) vs. 2.13% (1/47), P > 0.05]. Conclusion:Butylphthalide combined with ozagrel sodium for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction can reduce neurological dysfunction and brain tissue injury, and improve coagulation function, hemodynamic state of the middle cerebral artery, and activities of daily life, without increasing adverse reactions.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(3):366-369
Objective:
To explore the association between digital devices usage and body weight overestimation in children and adolescents aged 7-18, in order to provide a scientific basis for body weight overestimation prevention in children and adolescents.
Methods:
Based on the data of the Research Special Project for Public Welfare Industry of Health using stratified cluster sampling method in 2012, a tatal of 40 073 children and adolescents from 7 provinces with complete information were chosen. Ordinal multivariable Logistic regression model estimated the association between digital devices usage and body weight overestimation.
Results:
A total of 4 276(11.8%) students with overestimation of body weight were detected, who spent >300 min/d time in digital devices(5.12%) than others (3.84%)( χ 2=19.14, P <0.01). Univariate analysis showed that students with time spent on digital devices >300 min/d had a higher risk in overestimation of body weight ( OR=1.36,95%CI=1.18-1.57,P <0.01) compared with students who spent on digital devices≤120 min/d. There was still a significant association after confounder adjustment ( OR=1.28, 95%CI= 1.10-1.48,P <0.05). Stratified analysis showed that the association between digital devices usage and overestimation of body weight were only observed in girls, 11-18 years old and non single child( P <0.05).
Conclusion
The time usage of digital devices is associated with overestimation of body weight in children and adolescents. It may helpful for children and adolescents to prevent overestimation of body weight by reducing time spent on digital devices.
