Objective: To explore the relationship between socio ecological risk factors (SERF), physical activity (PA) developmental trajectories, and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Tianjin, in order to provide theoretical support for comprehensive interventions for adolescent depression. Methods: A longitudinal follow up design was adopted. In September 2022, a baseline survey was conducted using a stratified cluster random sampling method in two junior high schools and two senior high schools in Tianjin, collecting data on students basic information, SERF, PA, and depressive symptoms. Two follow up surveys were conducted in September 2023 and 2024, yielding 588 valid participants. Latent class growth analysis (LCGA) was used to identify PA developmental trajectory categories among junior and senior high school students. Logistic regression was applied to examine the associations between depressive symptoms and SERF as well as PA trajectories. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms among Tianjin junior and senior high school students over the three years were 26.53%, 20.24%, and 21.26 %, respectively. Depressive symptoms were positively correlated with SERF ( OR=1.04, 95%CI=1.03-1.05, P <0.05). The highest risks were observed in the individual dimension and family dimension ( OR =1.28, 1.21, both P <0.05). LCGA identified three PA trajectory groups:persistently low level (80.65%), persistently high level (4.58%), and slowly increasing group ( 14.77 %). Multivariate regression analysis showed that compared with the persistently low level PA, the slowly increasing PA significantly reduced the risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=0.44, 95%CI =0.20-0.88), while SERF still increased the risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.04, 95%CI =1.03-1.05) (both P <0.05). Conclusion SERF are risk factors for depression symptoms among junior and senior high school students, whereas slowly increasing PA development trajectory demonstrates a protective effect.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Buyang Huanwutang regulates the glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）-acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 （ACSL4） axis to inhibit ferroptosis and promote neurological functional recovery after spinal cord injury （SCI）. MethodsNinety rats were randomly divided into five groups： sham operation group， model group， low-dose Buyang Huanwutang group （12.5 g·kg^-1）， high-dose Buyang Huanwutang group （25 g·kg^-1）， and Buyang Huanwutang + inhibitor group （25 g·kg^-1 + 5 g·kg^-1 RSL3）. The SCI model was established by using the allen method. Tissue was collected on the 7th and 28th days after operation. Motor function was assessed by using the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan （BBB） scale. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE）， Nissl， and Luxol fast blue （LFB） staining were performed to observe spinal cord histopathology. Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine mitochondrial ultrastructure. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the number of NeuN-positive cells and the fluorescence intensity of myelin basic protein （MBP）， GPX4， and ACSL4. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to analyze the mRNA expression of GPX4 and ACSL4. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was performed to measure the levels of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， and superoxide dismutase （SOD）. Colorimetric assays were used to determine the iron content in spinal cord tissue. ResultsCompared to the sham operation group， the model group exhibited significantly reduced BBB scores （P<0.01）， severe pathological damage in spinal cord tissue， and marked mitochondrial ultrastructural disruption. In addition， the model group showed a decrease in the number of NeuN-positive cells （P<0.01）， reduced fluorescence intensity of MBP and GPX4 （P<0.01）， lower levels of GSH and SOD （P<0.01）， and downregulated mRNA expression of GPX4 （P<0.01）. Moreover， compared to the sham operation group， the model group had elevated levels of ROS， MDA， and tissue iron content （P<0.01）， along with increased fluorescence intensity and mRNA expression of ACSL4 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group and Buyang Huanwutang + inhibitor group， the Buyang Huanwutang group showed significantly improved BBB scores （P<0.05， P<0.01） and exhibited less severe spinal cord tissue damage， reduced edema and inflammatory cell infiltration， increased neuronal survival， and more intact myelin structures. Additionally， mitochondrial ultrastructure was significantly improved in the Buyang Huanwutang group. Compared to the model group and Buyang Huanwutang + inhibitor group， the Buyang Huanwutang group significantly increased the number of NeuN-positive cells and the fluorescence intensity of MBP （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， Buyang Huanwutang significantly increased the fluorescence intensity and mRNA expression of GPX4 （P<0.01） and decreased the fluorescence intensity and mRNA expression of ACSL4 （P<0.01） compared to the model group and Buyang Huanwutang + inhibitor group. Finally， the Buyang Huanwutang group significantly decreased ROS， MDA， and tissue iron content （P<0.01） and significantly increased GSH and SOD levels （P<0.01） compared to the model group and Buyang Huanwutang + inhibitor group. ConclusionBuyang Huanwutang inhibits ferroptosis through the GPX4/ACSL4 axis， reduces secondary neuronal and myelin injury and oxidative stress， and ultimately promotes the recovery of neurological function.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang (BZYQT) combined with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after fracture fixation in aged rabbits.Methods:Thirty-two elderly New Zealand rabbits of either sex, aged 36 months, weighing 3.5-4.0 kg, were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) using the random number table method: control group (C group), fracture fixation group (F group), low molecular weight heparin group (L group) and BZYQT combined with LMWH group (BL group). A model of fixation surgery for right femoral shaft fracture was established in anesthetized rabbits in F, L and BL groups. Starting from postoperative day 1, BL group received BZYQT at 3.6 ml/kg via gavage, F and L groups received normal saline at 3.6 ml/kg via gavage, L and BL groups received subcutaneous injection of LMWH at 200 IU/kg, and all the administrations were performed daily at 08: 00 for 7 consecutive days. On postoperative day 7, ultrasound examination was performed to assess lower limb DVT. Blood samples were collected from the marginal ear vein for determination of the serum concentrations of cortisol (COR), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Femoral vein specimens were obtained under anesthesia for microscopic examination of the pathological changes of the femoral vein lumen and endothelial tissues (by HE staining) and of the morphology of vascular endothelial cells (by the transmission electron microscopy). Results:Compared with C group, the concentrations of serum COR, TNF-α, IL-6 and ET-1 were significantly increased in F, L and BL groups, and the incidence of lower limb DVT within 7 days after surgery was significantly increased in F and L groups ( P<0.05). Compared with F group, the incidence of lower limb DVT within 7 days after surgery was significantly decreased in L and BL groups, and the concentrations of serum COR, TNF-α, IL-6 and ET-1 were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the pathological damage was significantly reduced in BL group. Compared with L group, the incidence of lower limb DVT and concentration of IL-6 were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and pathological damage was significantly alleviated in BL group. Conclusions:BZYQT combined with LMWH can prevent the occurrence of lower limb DVT after fracture fixation in aged rabbits.

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 evaluate the elastic characteristics of the pulmonary trunk and its distal branches in fetuses with tetralogy of Fallot（TOF）by Doppler echocardiography.Methods:A total of 42 fetuses with TOF（TOF group）and 84 gestational age-matched normal fetuses（control group）were prospectively collected from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from August 2022 to January 2023. The severity of TOF was classified into mild TOF（Z-score≥-2），moderate TOF（-40.05）. Conclusions:Fetuses with TOF present with increased MPA-PAS and decreased stiffness in the distal PA. Histological abnormalities of the pulmonary artery wall in fetuses with TOF have been observed during pregnancy.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of the ultrasound "triangular method" in evaluating the morphology of the aortic arch in normal mid-to-late trimester fetuses，establish the gestational age-specific reference ranges for its morphological parameters，and to analyze their correlations with gestational age（GA）and cardiac valve annulus diameters.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 317 normal singleton fetuses at 20-38 +6 weeks of gestation from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. Morphological parameters including arch length（a+b），arch width（w），arch height（h）and arch angle（θ）were measured using the "triangular method" in the aortic arch long-axis view. Arch tortuosity（a+b/w）and height-to-width ratio（h/w）were calculated. Linear regression was used to analyze correlations between arch length，width，height and GA，the reference intervals were established. Pearson correlation was applied to assess relationships between angle，tortuosity，height-to-width ratio and GA，cardiac valve annulus diameters（aortic，pulmonary，mitral，tricuspid）. Results:Aortic arch length，width and height showed strong positive correlations with GA（ r = 0.88，0.88，0.85；all P < 0.001）. The arch angle，tortuosity，and height-to-width ratio were independent of GA（all P > 0.05），with reference values of（69.2 ± 6.1）°，1.7 ± 0.1，and 0.7 ± 0.1，respectively. These parameters also showed no significant correlations with cardiac valve annulus diameters（all P > 0.05）. Conclusions:The ultrasound "triangular method" systematically quantifies fetal aortic arch morphology. The stability of arch angle，tortuosity and height-to-width ratio during mid-to-late gestation may provide a morphological benchmark for prenatal screening of aortic arch anomalies.

Objective:To evaluate the value of the proposed interpretable denoising deep learning model-grouped sharing convolutional attention-visual transformer（GSCAViT）for classifying normal fetal echocardiograms.Methods:A total of 2 501 images from 358 fetuses who underwent cardiac ultrasound examinations at Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University from January to November 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. GSCAViT was constructed based on fetal echocardiograms from the three-vessel and trachea view，apical four-chamber view，long-axis view of the aortic arch，bicaval view，left ventricular outflow tract view，three-vessel view and right ventricular outflow tract view were compared with both baseline and improved models in the validation set to assess the performance of the classification echocardiography in terms of accuracy，precision，recall and F1-score. Its generalizability across test sets was assessed using the area under the ROC curve（AUC），sensitivity，specificity and F1-score. The impact of image features was interpreted using SHapley Additive exPlanations（SHAP）.The effectiveness of the GSCA module was compared through visual analysis，image parameter metrics and classification performance.Results:The GSCAViT model achieved classification performance for fetal echocardiograms second only to MaxViT，with an accuracy of 97.1%，precision of 97.1%，recall of 97.0%，and an F1-score of 97.0%. In the E10，E20 and E8 test sets，the AUCs of GSCAViT for the prediction of 7 types of fetal echocardiograms were 0.994，0.928 and 0.932，the sensitivities were 99.4%，81.3% and 72.9%，the specificities were 99.7%，96.8% and 94.8%，the F1-scores were 99.4%，81.3% and 67.6%，respectively. SHAP visualization indicated that the model could identify key structural features within the images. Images processed by the denoising-guided group-sharing convolutional attention module best captured and enhanced important regional features，achieving the highest contrast-to-noise ratio，peak signal-to-noise ratio and optimal classification performance，which demonstrated the module's effectiveness.Conclusions:The proposed GSCAViT model exhibits superior performance in classifying seven types of normal fetal echocardiograms compared to the baseline and some improved models. Furthermore，SHAP visualization enhances the interpretability of the classification results，and visual comparisons，image parameter analyses，as well as classification performance metrics confirming the effectiveness of the denoising-guided group-sharing convolutional attention module in the visual transformer model.
