Objective:
To explore the isotemporal substitution effects among different intensities of physical activity within a 10 minute recess period on the mental health of junior high school students, aiming to provide evidence based references for targeted practical interventions.
Methods:
From May to November 2024, a total of 845 junior high school students from Tianjin,Taiyuan and L Liang in Shaanxi Province,Puyang in Henan Province,Xi an in Shaanxi Province,Quzhou in Zhejiang Province,and Chaoyang in Liaoning Province were selected by using a combination of stratified random sampling and convenience sampling. ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers was used to measure physical activity during a 10 minute recess period. Mental health status was assessed with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). An isotemporal substitution model was constructed in 1 minute increments to predict the effects of substituting different physical activity behaviors on students mental health.
Results:
During recess, sedentary behavior (SB) was predominant among junior high school students, with an average duration of [7.08(5.85,7.98)] minutes, while moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) accounted for the shortest duration at [0.42(0.21,0.85)] minutes. There were statistically significant differences in MVPA,LPA and SB time between students of different genders and grades( Z/H =-9.08,-8.34,-9.51;84.87,126.82,135.27,all P <0.01). Isotemporal substitution analysis, adjusted for gender and age, showed that replacing 1 minute of SB with 1 minute of MVPA significantly improved anxiety levels ( β =-0.29, 95% CI =-0.53 to -0.04) and overall mental health ( β =-0.72, 95% CI =-1.39 to -0.04), with both results reaching statistical significance (both P <0.05). No significant effects were observed for other substitution patterns (both P >0.05).
Conclusions
Substituting SB with MVPA during a 10 minute recess period exerts a positive impact on the mental health of junior high school students. It is recommended to optimize the daily recess activity structure in schools to enhance students mental well being.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of Guangdong Shenqu (GSQ) on intestinal flora structure in mice with food stagnation through 16S rDNA sequencing.
Methods:
Mice were randomly assigned to control, model, GSQ low-dose (GSQL), GSQ medium-dose (GSQM), GSQ high-dose (GSQH), and lacidophilin tablets (LAB) groups, with each group containing 10 mice. A food stagnation and internal heat mouse model was established through intragastric administration of a mixture of beeswax and olive oil (1:15). The control group was administered normal saline, and the model group was administered beeswax and olive oil to maintain a state. The GSQL (2 g/kg), GSQM (4 g/kg), GSQH (8 g/kg), and LAB groups (0.625 g/kg) were administered corresponding drugs for 5 d. After administration, 16S rDNA sequencing was performed to assess gut microbiota in mouse fecal samples.
Results:
The model group exhibited significant intestinal flora changes. Following GSQ administration, the abundance and diversity index of the intestinal flora increased significantly, the number of bacterial species was regulated, and α and β diversity were improved. GSQ administration increased the abundance of probiotics, including Clostridia, Lachnospirales, and Lactobacillus, whereas the abundance of conditional pathogenic bacteria, such as Allobaculum, Erysipelotrichaceae, and Bacteroides decreased. Functional prediction analysis indicated that the pathogenesis of food stagnation and GSQ intervention were primarily associated with carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, among other metabolic pathways.
Conclusion
The digestive mechanism of GSQ may be attributed to its role in restoring diversity and abundance within the intestinal flora, thereby improving the composition and structure of the intestinal flora in mice and subsequently influencing the regulation of metabolic pathways.

ObjectiveTo understand the survival time and possible influencing factors of pneumoconiosis patients in Ninghai County, Zhejiang Province who were followed up from 2019 to 2023, and to provide references for prolonging the survival time of pneumoconiosis patients. MethodsInformation about pneumoconiosis patients was collected from the sub-module Occupational Disease Follow-Up Management and Follow-Up Excel database of the Occupational Disease and Health Hazards Monitoring Information System. Survival analysis was conducted through applying Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression models. ResultsOf the 366 pneumoconiosis patients, 99.73% were male, 71.04% had stage Ⅰ pneumoconiosis, and the disease type was mainly silicosis. The survival rates at 5, 10, and 20 years after diagnosis of pneumoconiosis were 97%, 88%, and 62%, respectively, with a cumulative survival rate of 42%. The median survival time of patients with pneumoconiosis was 32.11 years. Log-rank test found statistically significant differences in the survival curves among pneumoconiosis patients with different pneumoconiosis stages, age at first diagnosis, and pneumoconiosis complications. Cox regression analysis revealed that the risk of reduced survival time in patients with pneumoconiosis stage Ⅲ was 2.184 times higher than that of patients with stage Ⅰ (P=0.007). In comparison with the age of first diagnosis at <50 years old group, the risk of reduced survival time was 3.457 and 7.097 times higher, respectively, in the groups of patients who received the diagnosis at 50‒ and ≥60 years (both P<0.001). The risk of reduced survival time in pneumoconiosis patients with complications was 2.030 times higher than that of patients without complications (P=0.003). ConclusionSurvival time of pneumoconiosis patients in Ninghai County is affected by the age at first diagnosis, pneumoconiosis stage and pneumoconiosis complications. The survival time can be significantly prolonged by timely detection and diagnosis, as well as active prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis complications.

OBJECTIVE To explore the renal protective mechanism of Shenbining granules on IgA nephropathy (IgAN) rats based on mitochondrial quality control system. METHODS IgAN rat model was established by the method of “bovine serum albumin+carbon tetrachloride+lipopolysaccharide”. The model rats were randomly divided into model group, prednisone acetate group (6.25 mg/kg), Shenbining equal-dose group (4.1 g/kg) and Shenbining high-dose group (20.5 g/kg). The normal rats were taken as the normal control group, with 12 rats in each group. Rats were given corresponding drugs or distilled water intragastrically in each group, once a day, for 4 consecutive weeks. After the last medication, the 24 h total urinary protein (24 h- UTP) and erythrocyte count in urine were determined, and the levels of serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albumin (ALB) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were also detected. The histopathological changes in the kidneys and changes in IgA deposition in the mesangial area of the kidney were observed. mRNA and protein expression levels of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1), E3 ubiquitin ligase(Parkin), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain-3 (LC3), dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) and mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) were detected in the kidney tissues of rats. RESULTS Compared with model group, 24 h-UTP, urinary erythrocyte count, ALT, BUN and Scr levels, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ mRNA ratio, mRNA and protein expressions of Drp1 were reduced significantly in prednisone acetate group, Shenbining equal-dose group and Shenbining high-dose group (P<0.05); ALB level, LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ protein ratio, mRNA and protein expressions of PINK1, Parkin and Mfn2 were increased significantly (P<0.05); the pathological morphology of kidney tissue in rats was significantly improved, and IgA deposition was significantly reduced. CONCLUSIONS Shenbining granule may reduce renal pathological injury in IgAN rats and protect renal function by activating the PINK1/Parkin pathway, enhancing mitochondrial autophagy, and correcting mitochondrial kinetic disorders.

Objective:To explore the relationship between risk perception and health promoting lifestyle profile in population with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and construct a prediction model for clinical screening and targeted intervention.Methods:A cross-sectional survey method was used to select 272 people at moderate and high risk of CVD from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March to August 2022. The general information questionnaire, Chinese version of Attitude and Beliefs about Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge and Risk Questionnaire (ABCD-C), and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP Ⅱ) were used. Based on multiple regression analysis, a nomogram model for health promoting lifestyle in high-risk CVD population was constructed.Results:Among 272 participants, male 150 cases, female 122 cases, aged (60.58 ± 10.64) years old. The total ABCD-C score was (56.57 ± 5.69), and the total HPLP Ⅱ score was (111.92 ± 12.47). ABCD-C score was significantly positively correlated with HPLP Ⅱ score ( r=0.556, P<0.01). The median of HPLP Ⅱ total score (111 points) was used as the cut-off point for low level of health-promoting lifestyle (≤111 points) and high level of health-promoting lifestyle (>111 points), and used it as the dependent variable, smoking ( OR=0.215, 95% CI 0.104-0.446) was a barrier factor for participants to adopt healthy lifestyle; being married ( OR=14.237, 95% CI 1.963-103.238), having a family average monthly income higher than 5 000 yuan ( OR=4.101, 95% CI 1.369-12.288), higher score of CVD prevention knowledge ( OR=1.660, 95% CI 1.373-2.007), perceived benefits and intention to change physical activity ( OR=1.445, 95% CI 1.255-1.663), perceived benefits and intention to change healthy diet ( OR=1.322, 95% CI 1.058-1.654) were promoting factors. Conclusions:The health-promoting lifestyle of populations at risk for CVD is above-average, influenced by factors such as smoking, marital and economic status, risk attitudes, and beliefs. Utilizing the nomogram model for early screening and targeted risk communication among key populations may contribute to improving their health behavior.

Objective:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of varicella outbreaks in primary and middle schools, and to establish a risk predictive model, so as to provide scientific guidance for the prevention of varicella outbreaks in schools.
Methods:
Based on a nested case-control study, primary and middle schools in 4 districts of Shanghai (Yangpu District and Jingan District) and Hangzhou (Xiaoshan District and Linping District) from January to December 2023 were selected to observe the status of varicella outbreaks. Associated factors of varicella outbreaks were investigated and used for establishing the predictive model, which was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L) goodness of fit test, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA).
Results:
A total of 98 varicella outbreaks were included, with 195 schools without varicella outbreaks during the same period as controls. Eight factors, including the availability of warm water in restroom, availability of hand soap in restroom, average class size, duration of student attendance at school per day, presence of a fulltime school doctor, hesitancy of the school principal towards varicella vaccination, and rates of first and second doses of varicella vaccination, were identified as potential factors for school varicella outbreaks, with statistically significant differences (χ2/Z=10.01, 20.49, 17.43, 9.74, 32.17, 6.60, 2.20, 3.39, P<0.05). The 8 variables above were employed to construct a risk predictive model, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test yielded a χ2 value of 5.863 (P>0.05); the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.846 (95%CI=0.799-0.893); Calibration curve analysis indicated good consistency between predicted and actual values of the model. DCA demonstrated favorable predictive performance of the model over a wide range.
Conclusions
The predictive model for school varicella outbreaks demonstrates satisfactory accuracy and efficacy. It suggested to make good use of this prediction model and take relevant measures to reduce the risk of varicella transmission in schools.

Objective:To explore the genetic etiology and clinical phenotype of a child with Triadin knockout syndrome (TKOS), and to review the relevant literature of TKOS patients due to variants of TRDN gene. Methods:A child who was admitted to the Children′s Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University on March 19, 2023 due to sudden cardiac arrest 3 days earlier was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples (2 to 3 mL) were collected from the child and her parents for the extraction of genomic DNA and whole exome sequencing (WES). Pathogenic variants were searched from databases such as the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and were assessed based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). Sanger sequencing was carried out for family validation of the pathogenic variants. Using keywords such as " arrhythmias" " TRDN" and " Triadin" both in Chinese and English, relevant literature on TKOS patients due to variants of the TRDN gene was retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and PubMed databases, and the time of literature retrieval was set from January 1, 2012 to December 1, 2023. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Children′s Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University (No. 20230097), and informed consent was obtained from the parents of the child. Results:The child had experienced syncope and cardiac arrest after exercise. Electrocardiographic examination revealed QTc interval prolongation, T-wave inversion in precordial leads V1-V3, polymorphic ventricular premature beat (VPB), and ventricular tachycardia (VT) along with increased heart rate. WES and Sanger sequencing revealed that the child has harbored a homozygous c.463del(p.E155Kfs*20) variant of the TRDN gene, for which both of the parents were heterozygous. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, the variant was classified as pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2+ PM3). The child was ultimately diagnosed with TKOS. In total 12 publications on TOKS cases caused by TRDN gene variants were retrieved, which involved 30 patients and 28 carriers of single heterozygous variant of the TRDN gene. Among the 30 TKOS patients, 20 had carried homozygous variants of the TRDN gene, and 10 had carried compound heterozygous variants, and all had exhibited significant clinical phenotype of arrhythmia, with most cases had experienced malignant arrhythmia induced by exercise and/or excitement during infancy or early childhood, leading to recurrent syncope and cardiac arrest. Of note, none of the 28 carriers of single heterozygous variant had abnormal clinical phenotype. Conclusion:The homozygous c.463del(p.E155Kfs20) variant of the TRDN gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of cardiac arrest in this child. Above discovery has enriched the mutational spectrum of the TRDN gene.This mutation may represent a genetic cause for cardiac arrest in children with TKOS.

Introduction::Observational studies have revealed an association between waist circumference (WC) and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is difficult to infer a causal relationship from observational studies because the observed associations could be confounded by unknown risk factors. Therefore, the causal role of WC in AF is unclear. This study was designed to investigate the causal association between WC and AF using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.Methods::In our two-sample MR analysis, the genetic variation used as an instrumental variable for MR was acquired from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of WC (42 single nucleotide polymorphisms with a genetic significance of P <5 × 10 –8). The data of WC (from the Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits consortium, containing 232,101 participants) and the data of AF (from the European Bioinformatics Institute database, containing 55,114 AF cases and 482,295 controls) were used to assess the causal role of WC on AF. Three different approaches (inverse variance weighted [IVW], MR–Egger, and weighted median regression) were used to ensure that our results more reliable. Results::All three MR analyses provided evidence of a positive causal association between high WC and AF. High WC was suggested to increase the risk of AF based on the IVW method (odds ratio [OR] = 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30–1.58, P = 2.51 × 10 -13). The results of MR–Egger and weighted median regression exhibited similar trends (MR–Egger OR = 1.40 [95% CI, 1.08–1.81], P = 1.61 × 10 -2; weighted median OR = 1.39 [95% CI, 1.21–1.61], P = 1.62 × 10 -6). MR–Egger intercepts and funnel plots showed no directional pleiotropic effects between high WC and AF. Conclusions::Our findings suggest that greater WC is associated with an increased risk of AF. Taking measures to reduce WC may help prevent the occurrence of AF.
