Objective: To explore the associations of sedentary behavior and physical activity with next day affective states in junior and senior high school students, so as to provide a reference for promoting affective health in the population. Methods: From March to April 2026, 137 junior and senior high school students aged 12-17 years were recruited from two junior and senior high schools in Tianjin using convenience sampling. The ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometer was used to continuously monitor 24 hour activity behaviors, and screen sedentary time (SST) and non-screen sedentary time were distinguished in combination with daily time use diaries. Daily affect levels in junior and senior high school students were collected via the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-Expanded Form, with moods classified into high /low arousal positive affect and high /low arousal negative affect. Bayesian multilevel compositional data analysis and isotemporal substitution analysis were employed to explore the associations and substitution effects of sedentary behavior and 24 hour activity behaviors with next day affective states in junior and senior high school students. Results: Bayesian multilevel modeling showed that the associations between 24 hour movement behaviors and nextday affect in junior and senior high school students were mainly evident at the within person level. SST was associated with lower next day high arousal positive affect ( β =-0.15) and low arousal positive affect ( β = -0.11 ), and with higher high arousal negative affect ( β =0.12); light physical activity (LPA) was associated with higher high arousal positive affect ( β =0.13), and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was associated with lower low arousal negative affect ( β =-0.06) (all P <0.05). Dose response analysis showed that, at the within person level, the substitution effect between SST and LPA was the most pronounced. As the duration of reallocating SST to LPA increased from 10 min to 60 min, high arousal positive affect ( β =0.020-0.123) and low arousal positive affect ( β =0.010-0.061) showed upward trends, while high arousal negative affect ( β =-0.061 to -0.010) showed a downward trend (all P <0.05); although low arousal negative affect presented a decreasing trend, it did not reach statistical significance at any time point ( β =-0.041 to -0.007, all P >0.05). Among the other substitution relationships, reallocating SST to MVPA was accompanied by a decrease in low arousal negative affect ( β =-0.033 to -0.005 ), and reallocating SST to sleep was accompanied by a decrease in high arousal negative affect ( β =-0.029 to -0.005) (all P < 0.05). Conclusions The associations between 24 hour activity behaviors and next day affect in junior and senior high school students are mainly evident at the within person level. Reallocating an individual s daily SST to LPA or MVPA can improve next day affective states in junior and senior high school students.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern of IQGAP2 in renal cell carcinoma tissues and cell lines,and to analyze its effects on the proliferation and migration of renal cell carcinoma cells.Methods Firstly,GEO database was used to screen differentially expressed genes between renal cell carcinoma tissues,and GEPIA,TIMER2.0 were used to analyze the expression level of IQGAP2 in renal cell carcinoma tissue.Subse-quently,knockdown(siRNA)and overexpression plasmids of IQGAP2 were constructed and transfected into ACHN and 786-O cell lines to perform a series of functional experiments to evaluate the effect of IQGAP2 on the malignant biological behavior of renal carcinoma cells.qRT-PCR and Western Blot were used to detect the expres-sion of EMT(epithelial-mesenchymal transition)related proteins after knockdown and overexpression of IQGAP2.Results In renal cell carcinoma tissues,the relative expression of IQGAP2 was significantly lower than in adja-cent normal tissues(P<0.001).Transfection of si-IQGAP2 in ACHN and 786-O cells effectively downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of IQGAP2(P<0.01),while transfection with an overexpression plasmid significantly upregulated its mRNA and protein expression(P<0.001).Further studies revealed that overexpression of IQGAP2 significantly inhibited the proliferation(P<0.05)and migration(P<0.01)of ACHN and 786-O cells,whereas knockdown of IQGAP2 enhanced their proliferation(P<0.05,P<0.001)and migration(P<0.01).Through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses of EMT-related proteins,it was found that reduced expression of IQGAP2 promoted the epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)process in renal cancer cells.Conclusions The expression of IQGAP2 is low in renal cell carcinoma tissues and cells,and the decrease of the expression level can promote the EMT process of renal cell carcinoma cells,and then enhance the proliferation and migration of renal cell carcinoma cells.IQGAP2 plays an important tumor suppressor role in renal cell carcinoma.

Objective To explore the effects of combined exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and high-fat diet on liver lipid metabolism and hepatocyte senescence in mice, and to elucidate the potential mechanisms of the onset and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods Specific pathogen free C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups, with 10 mice with equal numbers of each sex in each group. The mice in the control group and the simple BPA group were fed with regular diet, while others four groups of mice were fed with high-fat diet. At the same time, the mice in the simple BPA group were intragastric administered with BPA at a dose of 50 μg/kg body weight, while the mice in the low-, medium- and high-dose BPA+high-fat groups were intragastric administered with BPA at doses of 5, 50 and 500 μg/kg body weight respectively. The mice in the control group and the high-fat group were intragastric administered with the same volume of corn oil once per day for 90 consecutive days. Liver tissues were subjected to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Oil Red O staining. Liver coefficients and lipid-stained area ratios were calculated. Serum level of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The hepatic tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 levels were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relative expression of cholesterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1), CCAAT enhancer binding protein α, P16, and phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) in liver tissues was detected using Western blotting. The interaction effect of the combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet was observed based on the result of mice in the control group, the simple high-fat group, the simple BPA group, and the medium-dose BPA group+high-fat group (the combined exposure group) using a 2×2 factorial design. The results of mice in the simple high-fat group and the low-, medium-, and high-dose BPA+high-fat groups were used to observe the effect of BPA exposure dose under high-fat diet conditions. Results i) The interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high fat. The HE and Oil Red O staining results indicated that the combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet successfully established NAFLD in mice. The interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet on serum ALT activity and the relative expression of P16 in the liver tissue of female mice, as well as the serum ALT and AST activities and the relative expression of SREBP1 in the liver tissue of male mice was significant (all P<0.05). Specifically, the serum ALT activity of male mice in the combined exposure group was higher than that in the simple high-fat group (P<0.05), while the ALT activity in the serum of female mice in the combined exposure group was lower than that in the simple BPA group (P<0.05). The relative expression of SREBP1 protein in the liver tissue of male mice in the combined exposure group was higher than that in the control group, the simple high-fat group, and the simple BPA group (all P<0.05). For the other indicators, there were no significant differences in the interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet (all P>0.05). ii) Dose effects of BPA exposure. The HE and Oil Red O staining result showed that the degree of vacuolar steatosis in the liver of female and male mice of medium- and high-dose BPA + high-fat groups was aggravated, and the range of inflammatory cell infiltration was expanded when compared with same-sex mice in the simple high-fat group. The serum ALT activity and the fat stained area ratio, as well as the relative expression of P16 in liver tissue of female mice in high-dose BPA + high-fat group increased (all P<0.05), while the level of IL-10 in liver tissue decreased (P<0.05), compared with the female mice in simple high-fat group. The serum ALT activity, the TNF-α level in liver tissue, and the relative expression of SREBP1, P16 and γ-H2AX proteins in liver tissue of male mice in high-dose BPA + high-fat group increased (all P<0.05), while the IL-6 level in liver tissue decreased (P<0.05), compared with the male mice in simple high-fat group. For the female or male mice in the low- and medium-dose BPA + high-fat groups, only some of the above indicators showed significant changes (all P<0.05). Conclusion The combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet has a synergistic effect on the onset and development of NAFLD. The mechanism may be related to inducing cellular senescence and modulation of lipid synthesis pathways, thereby affecting liver steatosis. The exposure dose of BPA may affect the synergistic effect.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the primary fibrogenic cells in the liver, and their activation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of hepatic fibrosis. Here, we report that retinoid X receptor-alpha (RXRα), a unique member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is a key modulator of HSC activation and liver fibrosis. RXRα exerts its effects by modulating calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase β (CaMKKβ)-mediated activation of AMP-activated protein kinase-alpha (AMPKα). In addition, we demonstrate that K-80003, which binds RXRα by a unique mechanism, effectively suppresses HSC activation, proliferation, and migration, thereby inhibiting liver fibrosis in the CCl₄ and amylin liver NASH (AMLN) diet animal models. The effect is mediated by AMPKα activation, promoting mitophagy in HSCs. Mechanistically, K-80003 activates AMPKα by inducing RXRα to form condensates with CaMKKβ and AMPKα via a two-phase process. The formation of RXRα condensates is driven by its N-terminal intrinsic disorder region and requires phosphorylation by CaMKKβ. Our results reveal a crucial role of RXRα in liver fibrosis regulation through modulating mitochondrial activities in HSCs. Furthermore, they suggest that K-80003 and related RXRα modulators hold promise as therapeutic agents for fibrosis-related diseases.

Bacterial resistance and excessive inflammation are common issues that hinder wound healing.Antimicrobial peptides(AMPs)offer a promising and versatile antibacterial option compared to traditional antibiotics,with additional anti-inflammatory properties.However,the applications of AMPs are limited by their antimicrobial effects and stability against bacterial degradation.TFNAs are regarded as a promising drug delivery platform that could enhance the antibacterial properties and stability of nanodrugs.Therefore,in this study,a composite hydrogel(HAMA/t-GL13K)was prepared via the photocross-linking method,in which tFNAs carry GL13K.The hydrogel was injectable,biocompatible,and could be instantly photocured.It exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors and scavenging ROS.Thereby,the hydrogel inhibited bacterial infection,shortened the wound healing time of skin defects in infected skin full-thickness defect wound models and reduced scarring.The constructed HAMA/tFNA-AMPs hydrogels exhibit the potential for clinical use in treating microbial infections and promoting wound healing.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for early tumor recurrence and the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) patients after curative-intent resection.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 506 patients with GBC in 11 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University et al, from January 2016 to December 2020 were collected. There were 168 males and 338 females, aged (62±11)years. All patients underwent curative-intent resection of GBC, and they were divided into patients with and without early recurrence based on time to postoperative recurrence. Observation indicators: (1) treatment; (2) follow-up and survival of patients; (3) analysis of influencing factors for early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC; (4) efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model with forward method. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve and calculate survival rate, and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Treatment. Of 506 patients, there were 112 cases with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and 394 cases without postopera-tive adjuvant chemotherapy. They underwent 5(range, 3-9)cycles of postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy. (2) Follow-up and survival of patients. All 506 patients underwent postoperative follow-up, with the follow-up time of 55(range, 34-93)months. During the follow-up, there were 248 patients with tumor recurrence, including 158 cases of early recurrence and 90 cases of late recurrence, and there were 258 patients without tumor recurrence. Of 506 patients, 275 cases survived, and 231 cases died of multiple organ failure caused by tumor recurrence and metastasis. The postoperative recurr-ence-free survival time, overall survival time were 52(range,1-93)months, 62(range, 2-93)months. The 1-, 3-, 5-year disease-free survival rates and 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates of the 506 pati-ents were 68.8%, 53.8%, 47.9% and 78.3%, 58.7%, 51.6%, respectively. Results of survival analysis showed that the median overall survival time of 158 patients with postoperative early recurrence and 348 patients without postoperative early recurrence (including 90 cases of late recurrence and 258 cases of no tumor recurrence) were 9(range, 2-73)months and unreached, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=456.15, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of influencing factors for early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC. Results of multivariate analysis showed that carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) >5.0 μg/L, poorly differentiated tumor, liver invasion, and tumor N staging as stage N1-N2 were independent risk factors influencing early tumor recurrence after cura-tive-intent resection of GBC ( odds ratio=2.74, 6.20, 1.81, 2.93, 4.82, 95% confidence interval as 1.62-4.64, 1.82-21.12, 1.15-3.08, 1.68-5.09, 1.91-12.18, P<0.05), while postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy was an independent protect factor ( odds ratio=0.39, 95% confidence interval as 0.21-0.71, P<0.05). (4) Efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The median overall survival time of 394 patients without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 112 patients with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were 57(range, 2-93)months and unreached, showing a significant differ-ence between them ( χ2=9.38, P<0.05). Of the 158 patients with postoperative early recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC, 135 cases didn't receive adjuvant chemotherapy and 23 cases received adjuvant chemotherapy, with the overall survival time of 8(range, 2-73)months and 17(range, 8-61)months, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=7.68, P<0.05). Conclusions:CEA >5.0 μg/L, poorly differentiated tumor, liver invasion, and tumor N staging as stage N1-N2 are independent risk factors influencing early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC, while postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is an independent protect factor. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy can prolong the overall survival time of patients with post-operative tumor early recurrence.

Objective:To observe the changes of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) level in myocardial tissue of pre-treatment mice with sepsis myocardial injury by electroacupuncture at Zusanli point, and to explore the protective effect and possible mechanism of electroacupuncture on myocardial injury in sepsis.Methods:Twenty male C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group (NC group), sepsis model group (LPS group), electroacupuncture group (EA group) and electroacupuncture + fluoxetine group (EA+FLU group) by random number table method, with 5 mice in each group. The myocardial injury model of sepsis was established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 10 g/L. The NC group was intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of normal saline. 3 days before mold making, EA group and EA+FLU group were electrocuted at Zusanli point on both sides for 15 minutes, once a day for 3 days. The EA+FLU group was intraperitoneally injected fluoxetine 1.4 g/L before electroacupuncture. After modeling, the cardiac histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The serum levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukins (IL-6, IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), the content of 5-HT in myocardial tissue, myocardial injury markers MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and lactic acid in myocardial tissue were detected. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect the mRNA expressions of 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter (5-HTT), hexokinase 2 (HK2) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in myocardial tissue. GLUT4 expression in myocardial tissue was detected by immunofluorescence assay.Results:Compared with NC group, the serum levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, myocardial 5-HT content, myocardial tissue injury markers CK-MB, cTnI in LPS group and EA+FLU group were significantly increased. Compared with LPS group, the above indexes in EA group were significantly decreased [IL-6 (ng/L): 443.03±156.16 vs. 19?843.75±0.00, IL-1β (ng/L): 75.72±10.60 vs. 894.66±350.88, TNF-α (ng/L): 46.17±4.71 vs. 533.01±170.58, 5-HT (μg/L): 161.19±5.96 vs. 244.74±14.38, CK-MB (ng/L): 468.21±12.46 vs. 662.02±22.54, cTnI (ng/L): 0.83±0.05 vs. 0.99±0.08, all P < 0.05]. Compared with NC group, the levels of ATP in myocardium of LPS group, EA group and EA+FLU group were significantly decreased, the levels of lactic acid in myocardium were significantly increased. Compared with LPS group, the level of ATP in myocardium of EA group was significantly increased, the level of lactic acid in myocardium was significantly decreased [ATP (mmol/L): 0.10±0.01 vs. 0.08±0.01, lactic acid (mmol/L): 56.03±1.07 vs. 72.45±4.32, both P < 0.05]. Compared with NC group, the mRNA expression of HK2 in myocardium of LPS group was significantly increased, and the mRNA expressions of GLUT4 and 5-HTT were significantly decreased. Compared with LPS group, the mRNA expression of HK2 in myocardium of EA group was significantly decreased, the mRNA expressions of GLUT4 and 5-HTT were significantly increased [HK2 mRNA (relative expression level): 0.73±0.19 vs. 1.82±0.57, GLUT4 mRNA (relative expression level): 1.00±0.33 vs. 0.47±0.18, 5-HTT mRNA (relative expression level): 1.18±0.31 vs. 0.38±0.15, all P < 0.05]. Compared with NC group, the fluorescence intensity of GLUT4 in LPS group and EA+FLU group were significantly decreased. Compared with LPS group, the fluorescence intensity of GLUT4 in EA group was significantly enhanced. Conclusions:Electroacupunctureat Zusanli can reduce the content of 5-HT in myocardial tissue of sepsis mice, and its regulatory mechanism may be related to the regulation of 5-HTT and GLUT4.
