Objective:
To explore the relationship between snack consumption and depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a basis for improving depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences.
Methods:
From October to December 2022,a cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 ethnic minority areas (Fugong County, Longling County, Longyang District, Luchun County, Mojiang County, Nanjian County, Qiaojia County, Shuangjiang County, Tengchong City, Yuanmou County, Zhenyuan County) in Yunnan Province for a questionnaire survey. The Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 was applied to assess depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students, and snack consumption was collected by employing food frequency questionnaire. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between first year junior high school students snack consumption and depressive symptoms, and the analysis was stratified according to left behind experience.
Results:
The detection rates of depressive symptoms among firstyear junior high school students with and without left behind experience were 36.25% and 26.91%, respectively. After controlling for confounding variables, the generalized linear model analysis showed that sweet snacks ( β=0.16, 95%CI =0.07-0.25), fast food ( β=0.14, 95%CI =0.04-0.23) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.09, 95%CI =0.01-0.17) of first year junior high school students with left behind experience (all P <0.05). Compared with those without such behavior, the risk of depressive symptoms was higher in consumption of fast food ( β=0.13, 95%CI =0.07-0.18) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.10, 95%CI =0.06-0.15)among first year junior high school students without left behind experience (both P <0.05).
Conclusion
Snack consumption among first year junior high school students in Yunnan may increase the risk of developing depressive symptoms, while first year junior high school students with left behind experience may have a greater risk of developing depressive symptoms.

Chinese Journal of Experimental Traditional Medical Formulae 2025;31(6):164-170
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of renal failure enema for retention enema as an adjuvant therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3-4 and its effect on serum uremic toxins including indoxyl sulfate (IS),p-cresol sulfate (PCS),and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO). MethodsA total of 60 patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease in the Department of Nephrology,Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2023 to November 2023,were divided into a control group and an observation group. Each group consisted of 30 patients,and the random number table method was used for the division. Both groups received routine symptomatic treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine in the department. The observation group,based on the treatment of the control group,was additionally given 100-200 mL of the hospital-made renal failure enema capsules once every other day. The total treatment course was 4 weeks. The changes in serum creatinine (SCr),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),uric acid (UA),24-hour urine total protein quantification (24 h UTP),and serum uremic toxins such as IS,PCS,and TMAO were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The total clinical effective rate of TCM and Western medicine was calculated and the adverse reactions were recorded. ResultsBefore treatment,the baseline levels of the two groups were comparable. After treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group (80.0%,24/30) was superior to that of the control group (53.3%,16/30),and the difference was statistically significant (Z=2.267,P=0.023). After treatment,the TCM pattern scores of the two groups were lower than before,and the constipation symptoms in the observation group were improved(P<0.01). Compared with the control group after treatment,the observation group showed decreased TCM syndrome scores,and the difference before and after treatment was larger (P<0.05). Compared with before treatment,the SCr in both groups decreased after treatment (P<0.05). BUN levels decreased in the observation group(P<0.05),and IS and PCS levels decreased in the observation group(P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the control group after treatment,the IS level of the observation group decreased (P<0.05). During the trial,no adverse reactions occurred in either group. ConclusionRenal failure enema can be used as an adjuvant therapy for patients with CKD stages 3-4. It can not only slow down the progression of renal function but also effectively down-regulate the levels of uremic toxins. In addition,it can significantly improve the TCM syndrome of kidney disease patients,which makes it worthy of clinical application and promotion.

AIM: To investigate the potential inhibitory effect of pterostilbene on the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition(EndMT)induced by high glucose conditions in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells(HRMECs).METHODS: The optimal concentration of pterostilbene for treating HRMECs was determined using the CCK-8 assay, with 12.5 and 25 μmol/L concentrations selected for subsequent experiments. Four experimental groups were established: control group, high glucose group, high glucose combined with 12.5 μmol/L pterostilbene treatment group, and high glucose combined with 25 μmol/L pterostilbene treatment group. The expression levels of HDAC7 and EndMT-associated markers were detected via Western blot analysis. Cell migration ability was assessed using Transwell migration assays and scratch wound healing tests, while vasculogenic capability was evaluated through tube formation assays.RESULTS: The CCK-8 assay revealed that pterostilbene at a concentration of 22.07 μmol/L inhibited 50% of cell viability in HRMECs. Western blot analysis demonstrated that compared with the control group, the expression levels of HDAC7, ZEB1, Vimentin, and Snail were significantly upregulated in HRMECs cultured in high glucose(all P<0.01), while the expressions of VE-cadherin and CD31 were significantly reduced(all P<0.01). Compared to the high glucose group, the treatment with 12.5 and 25 μmol/L pterostilbene significantly reduced the expression of HDAC7, ZEB1, Vimentin, and Snail under high glucose conditions(all P<0.01). Notably, 25 μmol/L pterostilbene enhanced the expression of VE-cadherin and CD31(all P<0.01). Scratch wound healing tests revealed that HRMECs treated with high glucose exhibited a significantly increased cell migration rate compared to the control group(P<0.05), while the application of 25 μmol/L pterostilbene significantly suppressed HRMECs migration under high glucose conditions(P<0.01). Transwell migration assays demonstrated that the cell migration rate in the high glucose group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.01), with cell migration rate markedly reduced following treatment with both of 12.5 and 25 μmol/L pterostilbene(all P<0.01). The tube formation assay revealed that the ability of HRMECs to form tubular structures was significantly enhanced under high glucose conditions(P<0.01), and both 12.5 and 25 μmol/L of pterostilbene effectively inhibited this effect(all P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Pterostilbene can inhibit HDAC7 expression, suppress EndMT-mediated migration of HRMECs, and impair tube formation under high-glucose conditions.

MethodsBased on the policies on digital health and rehabilitation development issued by the WHO, focusing on the Global Digital Health Strategy, Rehabilitation 2030 Initiative, Rehabilitation in Health Systems, Rehabilitation in Health Systems: A Guide for Action, and World Report on Disability, a systematic review was conducted, to explore the policy architecture and core content of digital rehabilitation, the standard system for digitalizing rehabilitation, and key technological models for the development of digital rehabilitation. ResultsIn the context of global health and digital transformation, the development of digital rehabilitation services was an essential component of the global digital health strategy. Building a comprehensive policy framework and content system for digital rehabilitation was critical for strengthening rehabilitation data governance, enhancing data utilization efficiency, and ensuring data privacy and security. Empowering rehabilitation with digital technology was vital for improving the standardization, effectiveness, coverage, quality and safety of rehabilitation services. International digital rehabilitation policies primarily involved the following areas: policy and governance, digital standard systems, data privacy, security and ethics, digital talent cultivation and capacity building, and monitoring, evaluation and continuous improvement of digitally empowered rehabilitation services. The standard system for rehabilitation digitization covered the three major reference classifications of the WHO Family of International Classifications, including International Classification of Diseases Eleventh Revision (ICD-11), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI), especially ICF. It also included international data interoperability standards, data security and privacy protection standards, data quality and certification standards, and health information standards, etc. The application technology models of digital rehabilitation primarily included data-driven service models, artificial intelligence -enabled models, and remote rehabilitation models combined with virtual reality, augmented reality technologies, and Internet of Things support. ConclusionThe establishment and implementation of comprehensive policies, standards and technological models for digital rehabilitation are crucial for driving the digital transformation and development of global rehabilitation services. Under the framework of the WHO Global Digital Health Strategy, it is necessary to build adaptive digital rehabilitation policy frameworks, and enhance digital governance capabilities and levels, establishing and improving digital rehabilitation standard systems, and promoting the interoperability and integration of rehabilitation data with other health big data. Meanwhile, it is essential to actively develop data-driven technological models for rehabilitation services to comprehensively improve the accessibility, availability, quality and safety of rehabilitation services.

ObjectiveTo assess the predictive value of the bladder deformation index (BDI) in determining upper urinary tract (UUT) damage among patients with neurogenic bladder (NB). MethodsClinical data of 132 NB patients admitted to Beijing Bo'ai Hospital from January, 2015 to December, 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into UUT damage group and normal UUT group according to the presence or absence of hydronephrosis. The demographics, biochemical parameters and video-urodynamics (VUDS) findings were collected, and BDI was calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were utilized to evaluate the predictive capability. ResultsThere were 54 patients in UUT damage group and 33 in normal UUT group. The course of disease, creatinine level and BDI were siginificantly different between two groups (P < 0.05), while the area under the curve were 0.686, 0.836 and 0.928, respectively. ConclusionCourse of disease, creatinine level and BDI are associated with UUT damage in NB patients, and BDI demonstrates the highest sensitivity and specificity, which may play a role in diagnosis of UUT damage.

Based on the concept of "regulating the five zang organs and harmonizing the spleen and stomach", globus hystericus is believed to originate from dysfunction of the five zang organs and disharmony of the spleen and stomach. Treatment primarily focuses on regulating the spleen and stomach while also considering other affected organs, with a self-prescribed Anpiwei Jingyan Formula (安脾胃经验方) for harmonizing the spleen and stomach as the foundational treatment. Additionally, syndrome-based modifications are applied according to imbalances in the heart, lung, kidney, or liver. For heart-yang deficiency, modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction (苓桂术甘汤) could be combined; for heart-yin deficiency, modified Tianwang Buxin Pill (天王补心丹) could be combined. For lung failing to disperse and descend and fluid retention, modified Sanao Decoction (三拗汤) could be combined; for lung and stomach yin deficiency, modified Shashen Maidong Decoction (沙参麦冬汤) could be combined. For kidney-yang deficiency with ascending counterflow of cold water, modified Jingui Shensi Pill (金匮肾气丸) could be combined; for kidney-yin deficiency, modified Liuwei Dihuang Pill (六味地黄丸) could be combined. For liver constraint and spleen deficiency, modified Sini Powder (四逆散) could be combined; for liver-yin deficiency or liver stagnation transforming into fire and attacking the stomach, modified Yiguan Decoction (一贯煎) could be combined.
