Objective:
To explore the associations of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) among primary and secondary school students and their parents, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted physical activity promotion strategies for children and adolescents.
Methods:
From 2021 to 2022, basic information and 24 h movement behaviors of 2 484 pairs of students and their parents were collected from five primary and secondary schools in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, with a convenient sampling combining with cluster sampling method. Component regression models were constructed to analyze the relationship between parental MVPA, SB and primary and secondary school students MVPA and SB, and a component isochronous substitution model was used to explore the effects of mutual substitution between parental MVPA, residual components (time use components other than SB during the 24 h period), and SB on the behavioral activities of MVPA and SB in primary and secondary school students.
Results:
Parental MVPA and SB of students in grade 1 to 3 were positively correlated with both students MVPA and SB ( β=0.06, 0.12, P <0.01). The component isochronous substitution model showed that substituting 10 and 20 minutes of MVPA for SB by parents in grade 1 to 3 was associated with an increase in MVPA of students, and substituting 10 and 20 minutes of residual ingredients for SB was associated with a decrease in SB of students, with mean changes of 0.8 (95% CI =0.4-1.2) and 1.4 (95% CI =0.7-2.2) and -1.4 (95% CI =-1.7 to -1.1) and -2.9 (95% CI =-3.4 to -2.3)( P <0.05). No statistically significant associations were observed between parents of students in grades 4 to 6 and 7 to 9 and students physical activity and sedentary behaviour ( P >0.05).
Conclusions
Parents of students in grades 1 to 3 increases MVPA and decrease SB are beneficial to increase MVPA and decrease SB of students. Parents could promote physical activity among primary and secondary school students, and the intervention gateway should be advanced, with the low grades as the optimal intervention period.

Posterior capsule opacification(PCO)is a common postoperative complication of cataract surgery, primarily caused by the proliferation and migration of residual lens epithelial cells(LECs). Although neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet(Nd:YAG)laser posterior capsulotomy effectively treats PCO, it carries risks of complications such as cystoid macular edema(CME). Thus, preventing PCO formation is of critical clinical importance. Despite advancements in intraocular lens(IOL)materials and designs, achieving complete PCO eradication remains challenging. This review systematically examines recent advancements in surface-modified IOLs, including anti-biofouling IOL(reducing LECs adhesion), capsular adhesion-enhanced IOL(promoting capsular bag integration), micro-patterned IOL(physically inhibiting migration), photothermal/photodynamic IOL(inducing light-activated LECs apoptosis), and drug-eluting IOL(sustained drug release). These surface modification strategies demonstrate synergistic effects through complementary mechanisms(including physical barrier formation, chemical intervention, and bioactive regulation), effectively suppressing LECs proliferation while significantly reducing PCO incidence. Importantly, these approaches eliminate the risks associated with conventional Nd:YAG laser treatment, offering substantial advantages. By providing a comprehensive evaluation of these cutting-edge technologies, this review serves as a valuable reference for IOL design optimization. It represents a paradigm shift in cataract management strategies, transitioning from reactive therapeutic interventions to proactive preventive measures, and ultimately leads to improving long-term visual outcomes for patients.
3.Causal effect of sleep disorders on the risk of cerebrovascular events and complications: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(10):890-900
Objective To investigate the causal association between sleep disorder-related phenotypes and cerebrovascular outcomes/complications using the two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method, and to determine causal orientation via directionality testing. Methods Genetic variations from genome-wide association studies were used as instrumental variables to analyze eight sleep-related phenotypes (continuous sleep, snoring, napping, insomnia, morning diurnal preference, daytime sleepiness, long sleep, and short sleep) against multiple cerebrovascular outcomes and complications (cerebral infarction, unruptured cerebral artery dissection, cerebral arteritis, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, unruptured cerebral aneurysm, cerebral atherosclerosis, intracerebral hemorrhage, vascular syndrome, and sequelae of cerebrovascular disease). The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was used for primary analysis, with the assistance of the sensitivity methods such as MR-Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode, and the Estimate value was used to characterized effect direction and magnitude, with statistical significance assessed by P value. The Steiger directionality test was used to compare the extent of variance explained by instrumental variables concerning exposure and outcome and confirm causal direction. Results The IVW analysis showed that snoring was associated with an increased risk of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (Estimate=8.08, 95% CI 1.93-14.23, P=0.01), and long sleep duration was associated with an increased risk of cerebral atherosclerosis (Estimate=14.95, 95% CI 2.44-27.46, P=0.02). Short sleep duration was associated with an increased risk of cerebral arteritis (Estimate=13.33, 95% CI 1.54-25.12, P=0.03); however, inconsistent directions were observed across sensitivity methods (e.g., MR-Egger), and therefore, it was treated as suggestive evidence rather than a robust conclusion. The Steiger test showed R2exposure>R2outcome for most exposure-outcome pairs, and the key associations did not persist under reverse-direction analyses, supporting a forward causal pathway from sleep phenotypes to cerebrovascular outcomes and reducing the likelihood of reverse causation. Conclusion Genetic evidence supports a forward causal effect of sleep-related phenotypes on cerebrovascular outcomes and complications, with the most robust findings of “snoring increases the risk of cerebral amyloid angiopathy” and “long sleep duration increases the risk of cerebral atherosclerosis”. Identification and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing and avoidance of prolonged sleep may be used as potential targets for preventing cerebrovascular disease, and multi-ethnic prospective studies and interventional trials are needed to further validate these findings and clarify the underlying biological mechanisms.

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.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutations of 18 patients with plasminogen (PLG) deficiency and to explore the clinical manifestations caused by PLG gene mutations.Methods:This study belongs to observational study-descriptive study: case series.Clinical data from 18 patients with PLG deficiency admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 1st, 2021 to May 31st, 2025 were collected. The age ranged from 16 to 70 years old, with an average of 48 years old. Among them, there were 10 males and 8 females. Anticoagulant blood samples were taken before treatment to measure and analyze plasminogen activity (PLG:A), plasminogen antigen (PLG:Ag), protein C activity, protein S activity, fibrinogen, antithrombin activity, D-dimer, and fibrin (fibrinogen) degradation products. PCR direct sequencing was used to analyze the 19 exons and flanking sequences of the PLG gene in these patients, and reverse sequencing was employed to verify the suspected mutations.Results:For the 18 patients, cranial MRI showed fresh cerebral infarction lesions, and PLG:A levels ranged from 19% to 67%, while no other lab indicators showed significant abnormalities, all presenting with dysplasminogenemia. Genetic analysis revealed five types of PLG gene mutations: c.1858G>A (p.Ala620Thr) heterozygous mutation, c.1858G>A (p.Ala620Thr) homozygous mutation, c.398A>G (p.His133Arg) heterozygous mutation, c.2108G>A (p.Gly703Asp) heterozygous mutation, and c.1702G>A (p.Gly568Arg) heterozygous mutation. Among the above, the c.1858G>A heterozygous mutation was the most common, and c.398A>G and c.1702G>A were identified for the first time.Conclusion:Patients with plasminogen deficiency caused by PLG gene defects are prone to occur cerebral infarction events, which may be related to impaired fibrinolytic function due to PLG gene mutations.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the molecular pathogenic mechanisms of a family with hereditary factor Ⅶ (FⅦ) deficiency.
METHODS:
A family (3 generations, 12 members) with hereditary FⅦ deficiency, in which the proband presented with menorrhagia and was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in April 2023, was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the family members were collected. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from all 12 members for routine coagulation tests and genomic DNA extraction. All exons and flanking sequences of the F7 gene were amplified by PCR and analyzed by Sanger sequencing. Thrombin generation assay was performed to evaluate the coagulation potential of the proband and her parents. Multiple online bioinformatics software tools were used to analyze the conservation and pathogenicity of candidate variants identified in the proband. The pathogenicity of variant was classified according to the Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants released by American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) (hereinafter referred to as ACMG guidelines). Homology modeling of the variant FⅦ protein was performed using homology modeling (SWISS-MODEL). Amino acid sequence alignment between wild-type and variant FⅦ proteins was conducted using MEGA v7, and spatial conformational differences were analyzed using PyMOL to assess the potential impact of the F7 gene variants on the structure and function of the FⅦ protein. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (Ethics No.: KY2022-R193).
RESULTS:
Coagulation tests showed that the proband's prothrombin time (PT) was significantly prolonged to 33.1 s, and both factor Ⅶ activity (FⅦ:C) and antigen (FⅦ:Ag) levels were reduced to 2%. Her parents, eldest sister, second sister, younger brother, and four children all showed mildly prolonged PT, with FⅦ:C and FⅦ:Ag levels approximately 50% of normal. Genetic sequencing identified compound heterozygous variants in the F7 gene of the proband: a heterozygous missense variant c.722C>A (p.Thr241Asn) in exon 7, and a heterozygous deletion variant c.1261_1261delA (p.Ile421Ser*fs75) in exon 8. Retrieval from domestic and international databases found no previous reports of the latter variant, suggesting it is novel. Familial co-segregation analysis confirmed that these variants were inherited from her father and mother, respectively. The thrombin generation assay demonstrated that the proband had a significantly decreased peak thrombin height (peak ratio: 29.5%), significantly increased thrombin lag time ratio and time-to-peak ratio (3.03 and 2.93, respectively), but only a mildly decreased endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) ratio of 90.7%. Online bioinformatics analysis indicated that threonine-241 (p.Thr241) in the FⅦ protein was not conserved, while isoleucine-421 (p.Ile421) was highly conserved. Both the p.Thr241Asn and p.Ile421Serfs*75 variant sites in the proband's F7 gene were predicted to be pathogenic. According to the ACMG guidelines, the p.Thr241Asn (PM3+PP1+PP3+PP4+PP5) and p.Ile421Ser*fs75 (PM2+PM4 +PP1+PP3+PP4) variants were both classified as "likely pathogenic". Structural analysis of the FⅦ protein indicated that the p.Ile421Ser*fs75 frameshift variant led to the substitution of Cysteine-428 by Alanine, preventing the formation of a critical disulfide bond between amino acid residues 400 and 428 present in the wild-type FVII protein.
CONCLUSION
The compound heterozygous variants p.Thr241Asn and p.Ile421Ser*fs75 in the F7 gene are likely the genetic etiology responsible for the reduced FⅦ levels in this hereditary FⅦ deficiency family.

Objective To evaluate the impact of lens capsule diameter and capsular tension ring(CTR)fit on the ro-tational stability and visual function of Toric intraocular lenses(IOLs)in patients with high myopia cataract after surgery,and to explore the main influencing factors.Methods A prospective study included 100 eyes of patients with high myopia(axial length≥26 mm)who underwent phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with Toric IOL implantation at the Cataract Department of Hebei Eye Hospital from September 2023 to March 2024.Based on the ratio of the capsule equivalent diameter measured by anterior segment OCT(CASIA2)to the standard diameter of CTR,the eyes were divided into the matched group(ratio of 0.8-1.2)and the unmatched group.Follow-up was conducted at 1 week,1 month,3 months,6 months,and 12 months postoperatively to observe the rotation angle of Toric IOL,residual astigmatism,uncor-rected visual acuity,and other indicators.Safety was assessed based on intraoperative and postoperative complications.Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to explore the impact of capsule-CTR fit,corneal astigmatism,axial length,and other factors on Toric IOL rotation and postoperative refractive status.Results The mean IOL rotation angle at each postoperative time point in the matched group was significantly smaller than that in the unmatched group,with statistically significant differences between groups at different time points(all P<0.05).The matched group showed better stability in IOL decentration distance and tilt angle.At 12 months postoperatively,the residual astigmatism in the matched group was(0.53±0.29)D,which was better than that in the unmatched group(0.71±0.34)D(P=0.08).The matched group also had more significant improvement in uncorrected visual acuity and higher subjective visual quality scores.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that capsule-CTR fit and preoperative corneal astigmatism were the main independent factors affecting the rotation angle of Toric IOL(R2=0.52)and residual astigmatism(R2=0.46).Conclu-sion For patients with high myopia cataract,precise capsule-CTR matching based on CASIA2 measurement helps improve the rotational stability of Toric IOLs,reduce residual astigmatism,and enhance postoperative visual quality.Personalized CTR model selection is worth promoting and applying.
