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.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of preoperative ultrasound-guided injection of carbon nanoparticle suspension in cervical lymph node dissection for thyroid cancer reoperation.Methods:Ninety-four patients undergoing reoperation for thyroid cancer admitted by the same physician team of the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of the Ninety-sixty Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) from Jan. 2019 to Sep. 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different scope of the initial surgery, they were divided into the re-specification clearance group, the regional lymph node clearance group, and the metastatic lymph node dissection group, and the groups were subdivided into the carbon nanoparticle group and the control group according to whether they were injected with carbon nanoparticle before the surgery or not. The t-test, χ2-test, and non-parametric test were used to compare the age, gender, surgical method, duration of surgery, total number of lymph nodes detected, and positive lymph node detection rate between the nano-charcoal group and the control group in the three groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the three groups in terms of age, gender, surgical methods, or the total number of lymph nodes detected (all P>0.05) , and the difference between the surgical time of the carbon nanoparticle group in the re-regulation clearance group and the control group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) ; the surgical time of the carbon nanoparticle group was shorter than that of the control group in both the regional lymph node clearance and the metastatic lymph node dissection groups, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05) ; the positive detection rate of lymph nodes in the carbon nanoparticle group was higher than that in the control group among the three groups, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05) . Conclusion:In the operation of cervical lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer, preoperative ultrasound-guided injection of carbon nanoparticle can accurately localize the lymph nodes, increase the positive detection rate of lymph nodes, reduce the difficulty of surgical operation, and shorten the operation time.

Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors,which incidence and mortality rates increasing annually.Development of drug resistance is a primary factor contributing to treatment failure.Tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs),as key immune cells within tumor microenvironment(TME),play a significant role in the emergence and progression of drug resistance in tu-mors.TAMs can polarize into two distinct subtypes,M1 and M2,in response to diverse signaling stimuli.Research indicates that M2 TAMs are closely associated with poor prognoses in lung cancer,facilitating drug resistance through mechanisms such as promoting angiogenesis,enabling immune evasion,inducing stem cell-like characteristics in tumors,modulating relevant signaling pathways,and secreting cytokines.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is characterized by its multi-target approach and minimal toxic side effects,it has been shown to enhance tumor sensitivity to drugs,slow malignant progression,and extend patient survival.This paper reviews the relationship between TAMs and lung cancer drug resistance while summarizing current research on TCM and their active components that regulate TAM activity to mitigate drug resistance in lung cancer,aiming to provide new insights for targeting TAMs in this context.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):321-324
Objective:
To understand the subjective and objective comfort evaluations of students from different age groups on desks and chairs, so as to provide reference for standardized allocation and use of desks and chairs.
Methods:
From January to April 2024, a total of 2 446 students were selected from 26 schools in 13 districts (counties/cities) in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Wuxi from Jiangsu Province by using cluster random method, including students in kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools,senior high schools, colleges and universities. Standardized procedures were used to measure the height and weight of participants, and the matching desks and chairs models were selected according to the height. The subjective comfort of students on matching desks and chairs was investigated, and their objective comfort was evaluated by using a self designed questionnaire. The χ 2 test was used to analyze the differences of subjective perception and objective evaluation in comfort between different types of desks and chairs.
Results:
About 84.1% of the students subjectively thought that large desks and small chairs were very comfortable or relatively comfortable, followed by large desks and chairs (75.7%), and the proportion of small desks and chairs was the lowest among the three types (46.2%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=722.46, P <0.01). The reporting rates of primary school, junior high school and senior high school students who subjectively considered large desks and chairs to be very comfortable/relatively comfortable were higher than that of other types of desks and chairs, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=297.49, 252.82, 343.67, P <0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the subjective comfort evaluation of different types of desks and chairs among kindergarten children ( χ 2=3.21, P >0.05), and 66.3% of the students in colleges and universities felt very comfortable/relatively comfortable when they used the matching standard desks and chairs. The objective evaluation results of the comfort for the three types of desks and chairs were consistent with the subjective evaluation, but the proportions of the objective evaluation as very comfortable/relatively comfortable were higher than that of the subjective evaluation ( χ 2=20.76- 813.47, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Large desks and chairs, as well as large desks with small chairs are perceived comfortable, while small desks and chairs are perceived less comfortable. It is recommended to match the large desks and chairs or large desks and small chairs that are suitable for them according to the "standard", to promote physical and mental health of students.

To conduct a preliminary screening of the primary health issues among preschool children in extremely high-altitude areas of Xizang autonomous region, providing a basis for future large-scale epidemiological investigations. In April 2024, a heath examinations were conducted on children from a kindergarten in a county in northern Xizang autonomous region, where the average altitude exceeds 5000 meters. The examinations included general physical assessments such as age, gender, height, weight, oral health status, thoracic visual inspection, and auscultation of the lungs and heart. Children with potential cardiac abnormalities identified during the general examination were further evaluated using echocardiography. A total of 128 Tibetan preschool children underwent general physical examinations, including 61 boys and 67 girls, with an average age of (6.7±0.6) years (range: 3.5-7.5 years). Among them, 43.8%(56/128) with suspected cardiac abnormalities based on auscultation or physical examination underwent echocardiography, revealing 10 cases of congenital heart disease, yielding a screening positivity rate of 7.8%. Additionally, 21 children (16.4%) were diagnosed with malnutrition, including 15 cases of stunting and 6 cases of wasting, while 9 children (7.0%) exhibited overnutrition, including 5 cases of obesity and 4 cases of overweight. Signs of rickets sequelae were observed in 37 children (28.9%), manifested as costal margin flaring, pigeon chest, square skull, funnel chest, and other thoracic deformities. Poor oral hygiene was prevalent, with a dental caries rate of 76.6%(98/128). Four children (3.1%) had congenital deformities (3 cases of polydactyly and 1 case of submucous cleft palate), none of which had undergone surgical correction. Seven children (5.5%) presented with skin diseases (5 cases of verruca vulgaris, 1 case of vitiligo, and 1 case of porokeratosis), all of which had not received appropriate treatment. Preschool children in extremely high-altitude areas of Xizang autonomous region may exhibit a high prevalence of congenital heart disease and nutritional disorders, coupled with poor parental awareness of medical care and insufficient knowledge of child health. There is an urgent need for large-scale screening initiatives and enhanced training of primary healthcare providers in child health to facilitate early detection and timely treatment of these conditions.

Extensive epigenetic reprogramming involves in memory CD8+ T-cell differentiation. The elaborate epigenetic rewiring underlying the heterogeneous functional states of CD8+ T cells remains hidden. Here, we profile single-cell chromatin accessibility and map enhancer-promoter interactomes to characterize the differentiation trajectory of memory CD8+ T cells. We reveal that under distinct epigenetic regulations, the early activated CD8+ T cells divergently originated for short-lived effector and memory precursor effector cells. We also uncover a defined epigenetic rewiring leading to the conversion from effector memory to central memory cells during memory formation. Additionally, we illustrate chromatin regulatory mechanisms underlying long-lasting versus transient transcription regulation during memory differentiation. Finally, we confirm the essential roles of Sox4 and Nrf2 in developing memory precursor effector and effector memory cells, respectively, and validate cell state-specific enhancers in regulating Il7r using CRISPR-Cas9. Our data pave the way for understanding the mechanism underlying epigenetic memory formation in CD8+ T-cell differentiation.
