Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(4):486-489
Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Yangzhou City, and its association with screen behaviors, so as to provide scientific evidence for weight management among students.
Methods:
In May 2025, an electronic questionnaire survey was conducted among children and adolescents in Yangzhou City. A total of 3 722 participants were selected from grades 4 to 12 in 18 primary and secondary schools (108 classes) by using stratified cluster random sampling. The Chi square test was used to compare the differences in the detection rates of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with 5 types of screen behaviors (watching TV, playing electronic games, scrolling short videos, screen based learning, electronic socializing) in different time groups each day (never, >0~<2 h, ≥2 h). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the associations of five types of screen behaviors, presence of electronic devices in the bedroom, and screen use during meals on the weight status of children and adolescents.
Results:
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents was 37.3%. For all five types of screen behaviors, the differences in the distribution of overweight and obesity detection rates among children and adolescents across the three time spent categories were statistically significant ( χ 2=30.76- 70.78 , all P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that frequent or always using screens during meals( OR =1.63, 95% CI =1.14~2.31), playing video games ( OR =1.28, 95% CI =1.11-1.48), browsing short videos ( OR =1.29, 95% CI=1.09-1.54), and screen based learning ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.10-1.44) were significantly associated with overweight and obesity among children and adolescents (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Excessive screen use is positively correlated with the incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Targeted interventions on screen behaviors among children and adolescents are therefore warranted.

Aim To investigate the effects of tran-scription factor FoxO1 on acute kidney injury(AKI)induced by ischemic reperfusion injury(IRI)and to explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:Sham,IRI,FoxO1 inducible cell-specific knockout(FoxO1 icKO),and IRI+FoxO1 icKO.Tamoxifen(25 mg·kg-1)was intraperitoneally injec-ted to specifically knock out FoxO1 in mouse macro-phages,and a unilateral renal IRI model was estab-lished.The levels of serum creatinine(Scr),blood u-rea nitrogen(BUN),Fe2+,malondialdehyde(MDA),reactive oxygen species(ROS),and reduced glutathi-one(GSH)in renal tissues were detected.Hematoxy-lin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the patho-logical changes in renal tissues.Quantitative polymer-ase chain reaction(qPCR)was used to detect the mR-NA levels of inflammatory factors such as IL-1β and MCP1 in renal tissues.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of apoptosis and ferroptosis-relat-ed proteins.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of Scr and BUN in the IRI group were significantly upregulated,the infiltration of inflammato-ry factors IL-1β,TNF-α and MCP1 increased,the pro-tein expressions of Bax/Bc12,cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3,cytochrome C,and FTH1 in renal tissues were significantly enhanced,while the expression of GPX4 decreased.In addition,the levels of Fe2+,MDA and ROS in the renal cortex of the IRI group signifi-cantly increased,and the level of GSH markedly de-creased(P<0.05).Compared with the IRI group,the levels of Scr and BUN in the FoxO1 icKO group were significantly reduced,the infiltration of inflammatory factors was alleviated,the expression of apoptosis-relat-ed proteins in renal tissue decreased,the expression level of ferroptosis protein GPX4 increased,and the ex-pression of FTH1 decreased.The levels of Fe2+,MDA and ROS in the renal cortex decreased,and the level of GSH significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Inducing the specific knockout of FoxO1 in macro-phages can alleviate AKI induced by IRI,and its mech-anism may be related to the inhibition of ferroptosis caused by IRI by FoxO1.

Arsenic (organoarsenic) compound is one of the oldest drugs used by humans to treat various diseases. From its initial application in treating various skin diseases to the 1970s when arsenic trioxide (ATO) was proven to be able to significantly relieve acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), arsenic (organoarsenic) compounds gradually occupied an important position in the history of medical development. This article reviews the pharmaceutical research progress of inorganic arsenic compounds and organic arsine compounds, covering anticancer, antiparasitic, antiviral and antibiotic aspects. It further explores the potential for developing new arsenic (organoarsenic) drugs with higher efficacy and lower toxicity, aiming to provide new research directions and ideas for the application of arsenic (organoarsenic) compounds in disease treatment.

Objective:
To explore the association between sleep quality, sleep duration with blood pressure in primary and secondary school students with different nutritional status, so as to provide a reference for targeted intervention measures.
Methods:
By using stratified cluster random sampling method, a total of 10 871 students aged 7 to 18 years were selected from 36 primary and secondary schools in 6 counties of Yangzhou from October to November 2023. Physical examination and questionnaire survey were conducted respectively. Student Health Status and Influencing Factors Questionnaire was used to collected basic information. The overweight/obesity and sleep quality of primary and secondary school students were determined according to the Screening for Overweight and Obesity among School age Children and Adolescents and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale. The χ 2 test was used to compare the prevalence of elevated blood pressure in different groups of primary and secondary school students. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to explore the association between sleep and blood pressure in primary and secondary school students.
Results:
The prevalence of elevated blood pressure among primary and secondary school students in Yangzhou was 13.86 %, higher among boys (15.13%) than girls (12.62%) ( χ 2=14.30, P <0.01). The elevated blood pressure rate of obese and overweight primary and secondary school students were 26.98% and 14.90%, respectively, higher than 8.71% of non overweight and obese children ( χ 2=482.58, P <0.01). There were statistically significant differences in elevated blood pressure rate among primary and secondary school students in different sleep quality and sleep duration ( χ 2= 8.45, 71.58, P <0.05). After controlling for gender, residence, educational stage, parental education, sedentary time, the results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that no correlation between sleep quality and elevated blood pressure under different nutritional status was found among primary and secondary school students. In primary and secondary school students with obesity, prevalence of elevated blood pressure was higher among those with sleep duration <8 and 8 to <9 h/d ( OR=1.54, 1.72, P <0.05). However, there was no significant association found in the other groups ( OR=1.04-1.28, P >0.05). In gender stratification, sleep duration < 8, 8 to <9 and 9 to <10 h/d of obese boys were positively correlated with elevated blood pressure ( OR=1.97, 2.09, 1.86, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Among obese primary and secondary school students, sleep duration <9 h/d is associated with an increased risk of elevated blood pressure, especially among obese boys.
