2.Effects of high intensity interval training on glucose metabolism, cortisol and sleep quality among college students with comorbid depressive symptoms and obesity
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(12):1721-1726
Objective:
To explore the intervention effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on glucose metabolism, cortisol (Cor), and sleep quality among college students with comorbid depressive symptoms and obesity, so as to provide a reference for improving sleep quality among college students with comorbid depressive symptoms and obesity.
Methods:
In March 2023, 45 college students with comorbid depressive symptoms and obesity were recruited and randomly assigned to an exercise group ( n =23) and a control group ( n =22) by random number table method. The exercise group received HIIT intervention for 12 weeks, three times a week, while the control group received no intervention. Blood samples were collected from participants to measure fasting insulin (FINS), fasting blood glucose (FBG), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), Cor, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), simple effect analysis.
Results:
The repeated measures ANOVA revealed statistically significant time×group interaction effects for body composition (weight, body mass index, percentage of body fat, fat mass, waist to hip ratio), depressive symptoms, PSQI scores and its subdimensions (subjective sleep quality, sleep onset time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, daytime dysfunction), as well as FBG, FINS, and HOMA-IR between the exercise group and control group before and after intervention ( F =7.10-53.38, all P <0.05). Simple effect analysis showed that compared to the control group, the exercise group demonstrated significant improvements in body composition (body mass index, fat mass, waist to hip ratio), depressive symptoms, PSQI scores and its sub dimensions (subjective sleep quality, sleep onset time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, daytime dysfunction), FBG, FINS, HOMA-IR, and Cor (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
HIIT can improve the sleep quality of college students with comorbid depressive symptoms and obesity by enhancing glucose metabolism and regulating Cor levels.

The acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults have a higher rate of neurological injury and early death compared with atlas or axial fractures alone. Currently, the diagnosis and treatment choices of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults are controversial because of the lack of standards for implementation. Non-operative treatments have a high incidence of bone nonunion and complications, while surgeries may easily lead to the injury of the vertebral artery, spinal cord and nerve root. At present, there are no evidence-based Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults. To provide orthopedic surgeons with the most up-to-date and effective information in treating acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field of spinal trauma to develop the Evidence-based guideline for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults ( version 2023) by referring to the "Management of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults" published by American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) in 2013 and the relevant Chinese and English literatures. Ten recommendations were made concerning the radiological diagnosis, stability judgment, treatment rules, treatment options and complications based on medical evidence, aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence and disease burden of male and female infertility in China from 1990 to 2019.Methods:The global disease burden database of 2019 was used to analyze the prevalence of male and female infertility and disability adjusted life years (DALY) in China from 1990 to 2019 among the total Chinese male and female population and different age groups.Results:In 2019, the number, prevalence, DALY and DALY rate of male infertility in China were 14 577 432, 2 011.18/100 000, 77 983 person years, 1 076/100 000, respectively. The number, prevalence, DALY and DALY rate of female infertility were 37 884 300, 5 431.22/100 000, 197 046 person years, 28.25/100 000, respectively. The prevalence and disease burden of female infertility were higher than those of male infertility. The age group with the highest male prevalence rate and DALY rate were 35-39 and 30-34 years old respectively, the age group with the highest female prevalence rate and DALY rate were 40-44 and 35-39 years old respectively, and the age group with the highest female prevalence rate and DALY rate was 5 years later than the male age group. From 1990 to 2019, the prevalence rate and DALY rate of male and female infertility increased in the first 20 years or so, and decreased in the last 10 years or so. The prevalence rate and DALY rate of male and female infertility in China were significantly higher than those in the whole world and different socio-demographic index (SDI) regions.Conclusion:Although the prevalence rate and DALY rate of male and female infertility in China have decreased in recent years, the population base of China is large, and the disease burden of male and female infertility in the world is still large. Active prevention and treatment measures should be taken to reduce the disease burden of male and female infertility.
