Objective: To explore the isotemporal substitution effects among different intensities of physical activity within a 10 minute recess period on the mental health of junior high school students, aiming to provide evidence based references for targeted practical interventions. Methods: From May to November 2024, a total of 845 junior high school students from Tianjin,Taiyuan and L Liang in Shaanxi Province,Puyang in Henan Province,Xi an in Shaanxi Province,Quzhou in Zhejiang Province,and Chaoyang in Liaoning Province were selected by using a combination of stratified random sampling and convenience sampling. ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers was used to measure physical activity during a 10 minute recess period. Mental health status was assessed with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). An isotemporal substitution model was constructed in 1 minute increments to predict the effects of substituting different physical activity behaviors on students mental health. Results: During recess, sedentary behavior (SB) was predominant among junior high school students, with an average duration of [7.08(5.85,7.98)] minutes, while moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) accounted for the shortest duration at [0.42(0.21,0.85)] minutes. There were statistically significant differences in MVPA,LPA and SB time between students of different genders and grades( Z/H =-9.08,-8.34,-9.51;84.87,126.82,135.27,all P <0.01). Isotemporal substitution analysis, adjusted for gender and age, showed that replacing 1 minute of SB with 1 minute of MVPA significantly improved anxiety levels ( β =-0.29, 95% CI =-0.53 to -0.04) and overall mental health ( β =-0.72, 95% CI =-1.39 to -0.04), with both results reaching statistical significance (both P <0.05). No significant effects were observed for other substitution patterns (both P >0.05). Conclusions Substituting SB with MVPA during a 10 minute recess period exerts a positive impact on the mental health of junior high school students. It is recommended to optimize the daily recess activity structure in schools to enhance students mental well being.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of microRNA(miR)-4429 and microRNA(miR)-19-3p level in patients with pelvic floor dysfunctional(PFD)disease.Methods A total of 90 PFD patients admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Hengshui from June 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the PFD group.They were grouped into the pelvic organ prolapse(POP)group(n=50),the stress urinary incontinence(SUI)group(n=25),and the POP combined with SUI group(n=15).Meanwhile,80 healthy women who were examined in the Second People's Hospital of Hengshui were collected as the control group.The general data such as delivery mode,previous abortion history and family history were compared between the control group and the PFD group.The levels of serum miR-4429 and miR-19-3p in each group were compared.The diagnostic value of serum miR-4429 and miR-19-3p levels in PFD was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis.Logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the factors affecting PFD.The paired sample t-test was applied to compare the changes in serum miR-4429 and miR-19-3p levels before and after PFD treatment.Results There were significant differences between the PFD group and the control group in terms of delivery mode,previous abortion history,and PFD family history,and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.415,6.444,4.707,all P＜0.05).The serum miR-4429(0.71±0.19 vs 1.00±0.25)level in the PFD group was lower than that in the control group,while the miR-19-3p(1.44±0.35 vs 1.01±0.28)level was higher than that in the control group,and the differences was statistically significant(t=8.927,8.772,all P＜0.05).The serum miR-4429(0.73±0.22,0.74±0.16 vs 0.59±0.16)level in the POP and SUI groups was higher than that in the POP combined SUI group,while the serum miR-19-3p(1.35±0.39,1.41±0.31 vs 1.77±0.56)level in the POP group and SUI group was lower than that in the POP combined with SUI group,with significant differences(t=3.531,3.411;5.003,3.865,all P＜0.05).ROC analysis showed that the areas under curve(AUC)for miR-4429 and miR-19-3p to assist in assessing whether PFD occurs were 0.805 and 0.825,respectively.The AUC of the combined detection was 0.865.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that miR-19-3p was a risk factor affecting PFD,while miR-4429 was a protective factor.After treatment,serum miR-4429(0.93±0.23 vs 0.71±0.19)level in PFD patients increased,while the miR-19-3p(1.12±0.29 vs 1.44±0.35)level decreased,the diffences were statistically significant(t=6.996,6.679,all P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum miR-4429 level in patients with PFD decreased,while the miR-19-3p level increased.The levels of miR-4429 and miR-19-3p in serum were closely related to the occurrence and development of PFD diseases,which can be used as evaluation indicators to predict PFD.

Statistical analysis was conducted on the quantity of Chinese medicine material and sliced herbal medicine,the species types and medicinal parts of Chinese medicine material and sliced herbal medicine,and the quantity and composition of Chinese patent medicines and single-herb preparations in Chinese Pharmacopoeia of the 2020 edition.The statistical results are available on the web site(http://itcm.hzau.edu.cn/yd/zgyd.htm)for reference.The analysis results showed that:(1)Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Part I)contained a total of 616 kinds of Chinese medicine material and sliced herbal medicine and 47 kinds of plant oils and extracts.The 616 kinds of Chinese medicine material and sliced herbal medicine originated from plants,animals,minerals,microorganisms,artificial or synthetic raw materials,human-sourced products,and products having the origin of both animal and plants.Of the 47 kinds of plant oils and extracts,46 were made from plant sources,and the remaining one,i.e.Cornu Bubali concentrated powder,was made from the animal sources.(2)A total of 421(73.60%)from the 616 kinds of Chinese medicine material and sliced herbal medicine originated from the single species,96(16.78%)originated from 2 kinds of species,40(6.99%)originated from 3 kinds of species,11(1.92%)originated from 4 kinds of species,2(0.35%)originated from 5 kinds of species,and 2(0.35%)originated from 6 kinds of species.Of the 47 kinds of plant oils and extracts,34 originated from the single species,5 originated from 2 kinds of species and 5 originated from 3 kinds of species.(3)The Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Part I)contained a total of 1 605 Chinese patent medicines and single-herb preparations.Except that the composition of Yunnan Baiyao Powder and Yunnan Baiyao Capsules was not issued,the remaining 1 603 types of Chinese patent medicines and single-herb preparations involved a total of 14 329 kinds of medicinal materials.The Chinese medicines with the leading 20 frequency used in the Chinese patent medicines and single-herb preparations recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia of 2020 edition were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Angelicae Sinensis Radix,Poria,Chuanxiong Rhizoma,Scutellariae Radix,Paeoniae Radix Alba,Astragali Radix,Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium,Rehmanniae Radix,Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma,Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Borneolum Syntheticum,Platycodonis Radix,Rhei Radix et Rhizoma,Rehmanniae Radix Preparata,Aucklandiae Radix,Carthami Flos,Ophiopogonis Radix,Codonopsis Radix and Angelicae Dahuricae Radix.The results suggest that there were still problems existing in Chinese Pharmacopoeia of the 2020 edition,i.e.,some of the drugs of Chinese patent medicines were not listed in the Chinese medicine material and sliced herbal medicine,and some of the prepared drugs of Chinese patent medicines were not listed in the Chinese medicine material and sliced herbal medicine,either.The systemic analysis of the general information of Chinese medicinal materials as well as their correlation with Chinese patent medicines in Chinese Pharmacopoeia will provide a reference for further research on the production of Chinese medicine material and sliced herbal medicine and the complete list of drugs in Chinese patent medicines.

Objective To evaluate the effect of delayed cleaning on the cleaning and disinfection quality of gastro-scopes after pre-treatment with different solutions.Methods According to the factorial design table,combination of the pre-treatment cleaning solutions(factor A)(including multi-enzyme cleaning solution[A1],clean water[A2])and delayed cleaning durations(factor B)(including 0 minutes after pre-treatment[B1],30 minutes after pre-treat-ment[B2],1 hour after pre-treatment[B3],and 3 hours after pre-treatment[B4])yielded eight groups(A1B1,A1B2,A1B3,A1B4,A2B1,A2B2,A2B3,A2B4).According to the usage order of gastroscopes,96 gastroscopes used in the digestive endoscopy center of a tertiary first-class hospital from May to September,2023 were randomly assigned to each group by random number table method,with 12 gastroscopes in each group.Specimens were taken at four time points:after pre-treatment,before cleaning,after cleaning,and after disinfection.Due to instant clea-ning,no specimen before cleaning were taken from A1B1 and A2B1 groups,thus only 3 specimens were taken from these two groups each.Four specimens were taken from gastroscopes in the rest groups,resulting in 360 specimens in total.The internal condition of the biopsy cavity was observed through a cavity detector during each delayed cleaning period after pre-treatment,and specimens were taken at the subsequent reprocessing processes of the gas-troscopes.The microbial conditions of the gastroscopes after pre-treatment,before cleaning,after cleaning,and af-ter disinfection were compared.Results After pre-treatment with multi-enzyme cleaning solution and clean water,there was no statistically significant difference in microbiological detection result(P＞0.05).The biopsy cavity re-mained moist during the delayed cleaning period.There was no statistically significant difference in the microbial de-tection results of factors A and B before and after delayed cleaning as well as after disinfection(all P＞0.05).There was no interaction effect between factor A and B.The distribution of bacterial colonies and disinfection qualified rate of gastroscopes after pre-treatment with two cleaning solutions were also not statistically different(both P＞0.05).Conclusion Delayed cleaning for 30 minutes,1 hour,and 3 hours after pre-treatment does not affect the cleaning and disinfection quality of gastroscopes.When clinical demand is urgent,immediate cleaning should be carried out.However,a certain buffering time(no longer than 3 hours)before cleaning is acceptable,when cleaning and disin-fection workload is heavy and timely cleaning cannot be carried out.

Objective To explore clinical effect of distal tibial tubercle-high tibial osteotomy(DTT-HTO)in treating knee osteoarthritis(KO A)with medial meniscus posterior root tear(MMPRT).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 21 patients with varus KOA with MMPRT from May 2020 to December 2021,including 3 males and 18 females,aged from 49 to 75 years old with an average of(63.81±6.56)years old,the courses of disease ranged from 0.5 to 18.0 years with an average of(5.9±4.2)years,and 4 patients with grade Ⅱ,14 patients with grade Ⅲ,and 3 patients with grade Ⅳ according to Kellgren-Lawrence;14 patients with type 1 and 7 patients with type 2 according to MMPRT damage classification.The distance of medi-al meniscusextrusion(MME)and weight-bearing line ratio(WBLR)of lower extremity were compared before and 12 months after operation.Visual analogue scale(V AS),Western Ontarioand and McMaster Universities(WOMAC)osteoarthritis index,and Lysholm knee score were used to evaluate knee pain and functional improvement before operation,1,6 and 12 months after operation,respectively.Results Twenty-one patients were followed up for 12 to 18 months with an average of(13.52±1.72)months.MME distance was improved from(4.99±1.05)mm before operation to(1.87±0.76)mm at 12 months after operation(P＜0.05).WBLR was increased from(15.49±7.04)％before operation to(62.71±2.27)％at 12 months after operation(P＜0.05).VAS was decreased from(7.00±1.14)before operation to(2.04±0.80),(0.90±0.62)and(0.61±0.50)at 1,6 and 12 months after operation.WOMAC were decreased from preoperative(147.90±9.88)to postoperative(103.43±8.52),(74.00±9.54)and(47.62±9.53)at 1,6 and 12 months,and the difference were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Lysholm scores were increased from(46.04±7.34)before oepration to(63.19±8.93),(81.10±6.41)and(89.29±3.04)at 1,6 and 12 months after operation(P＜0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of varus KOA with MMPRT,DTT-HTO could reduce medial meniscus pro-trusion distance,improve the ratio of lower limb force line,and effectively reduce knee pain and improve knee joint function.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the characteristics and current status of gene therapy drug policy documents and to provide recommendations for optimizing China's gene therapy drug policy system.Methods:A three-dimensional analytical framework of"policy instruments-interactive subjects-policy phases"was constructed using content analysis and word frequency analysis.This framework was applied to the relevant policy documents issued from March 2009 to March 2024,enabling multidimensional classification and cross-comparison.Results:Among the 37 national-level policy documents included,246 text items were identified under the dimension of policy instruments,with supply-based instruments(45.9%)and environmental instruments(41.5%)being more prevalent,while demand-based instruments(12.6%)were less represented.The distribution of policy instruments was skewed,and internal structural differences were observed.In the dimension of interactive subjects,195 text items were identified,with drug manufacturing and R&D enterprises(36.9%),drug regulatory and accreditation agencies(22.1%),patients and subjects(19.0%),medical institutions and healthcare professionals(11.8%),and other government departments(10.2%)playing uneven roles.In the dimension of policy phases,the policies were categorized into three stages:drug R&D,production,and usage,with some policies covering multiple phases.Conclusions and suggestions:The study suggests combining and optimizing policy instruments for balanced application,strengthening demand-oriented policies,considering the needs of different interacting entities to formulate comprehensive policies,promoting cross-subject collaboration for win-win outcomes,and enhancing phase-linkage efficiency to build a comprehensive chain ecosystem for gene therapy drug development.

Objective:To explore the differences in dynamic spontaneous brain activity in individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and its correlation with spatial navigation ability in SCD subjects.Methods:A total of 72 SCD subjects(SCD group) and 67 normal controls (NC group) matched for age, gender and education level were recruited from September 2020 to February 2023 at the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University. All participants underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) examinations, spatial navigation tests and cognitive function assessments. The rs-fMRI time series were segmented using a sliding time window method, and statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS 26.0 software to compare the differences in the dynamic amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (dALFF) between the two groups. Correlation analysis was conducted between dALFF values in different brain regions and scale scores and spatial navigation tests.Results:Compared with the NC group, the dALFF variability in the right precuneus(0.119±0.021, 0.130±0.031) and left cuneus(0.143±0.034, 0.156±0.032) in SCD group decreased ( t=-3.41, -3.12, P<0.05, FDR corrected), and the dALFF variability in the right middle occipital gyrus(0.146±0.023, 0.137±0.020) and right angular gyrus(0.148±0.025, 0.139±0.026) increased ( t=4.51, 3.36, both P<0.05, FDR corrected). The temporal variability of dALFF in the right precuneus in SCD group was negatively correlated with egocentric spatial navigation ( r=-0.341, P=0.025), delayed allocentric spatial navigation ( r=-0.286, P=0.035) and memory function ( r=-0.332, P=0.009). The temporal variability of dALFF in the left middle occipital gyrus was positively correlated with language function ( r=0.339, P=0.015) and visuospatial function ( r=0.343, P=0.008) in SCD group. Conclusions:The temporal variability of dALFF in the right precuneus and the left middle occipital gyrus may be the neurobiological basis of cognitive decline and spatial navigation impairment in SCD subjects, and it can be used as a potential imaging marker for early identification of SCD patients.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the brain effect mechanism and the correlation between brain functional imaging and cognitive function in treatment of depressive disorder (DD) with transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) based on the resting-state functional magenetic reasonance imaging (rs-fMRI). METHODS: Thirty-two DD patients were included in a depression group and 32 subjects of healthy condition were enrolled in a normal group. In the depression group, the taVNS was applied to bilateral Xin (CO₁₅) and Shen (CO₁₀), at disperse-dense wave, 4 Hz/20 Hz in frequency and current intensity ≤20 mA depending on patient's tolerance, 30 min each time, twice daily. The duration of treatment consisted of 8 weeks. The patients of two groups were undertaken rs-fMRI scanning. The scores of Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) were observed in the normal group at baseline and the depression group before and after treatment separately. The differential brain regions were observed before and after treatment in the two groups and the value of degree centrality (DC) of fMRI was obtained. Their correlation was analyzed in terms of HAMD, HAMA and WCST scores. RESULTS: The scores of HAMD and HAMA in the depression group were all higher than those in the normal group (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of HAMD and HAMA were lower than those before treatment in the depression group; the scores of total responses, response errors and perseverative errors of WCST were all lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). The brain regions with significant differences included the left inferior temporal gyrus, the left cerebellar peduncles region 1, the left insula, the right putamen, the bilateral supplementary motor area and the right middle frontal gyrus. After treatment, the value of DC in left supplementary motor area was negatively correlated to HAMD and HAMA scores respectively (r=-0.324, P=0.012; r=-0.310, P=0.015); the value of DC in left cerebellar peduncles region 1 was negatively correlated to the total responses of WCST (r=-0.322, P=0.013), and the left insula was positively correlated to the total responses of WCST (r=0.271, P=0.036). CONCLUSION The taVNS can modulate the intensity of the functional activities of some brain regions so as to relieve depressive symptoms and improve cognitive function.
