Objective:
To understand trends and related factors influencing overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a basis for formulating overweight and obesity prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
In September of each year from 2019 to 2023, a survey was conducted among 197 707 primary and secondary school students in 16 districts of Tianjin through a stratified random cluster sampling method. Physical examination was carried out in accordance with the Technical Standard for Physical examination for Student, and overweight and obesity survey was carried out. Basic information, smoking, drinking, diet, physical exercise, and sleep status were collected through questionnaire surveys.
Results:
The detection rates of overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin from 2019 to 2023 were 39.07%, 43.33%, 41.54%, 43.92%, and 40.24%, respectively,showing an increasing trend(χ2trend=7.96,P<0.01). The detection rates of overweight increased in both vocational high schools and suburban counties (χ2trends=9.08, 47.18, P<0.01). The detection rates of obesity increased among both male and female students, in primary and vocational high schools and suburban counties (χ2trends=108.34, 15.99, 7.32, 10.95, 14.75, P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking, drinking, unhealthful diet, and lack of proper physical exercise had a higher risk of obesity among primary and secondary school students (OR=1.26, 1.13, 1.08, 1.21, P<0.05). Stratified analysis showed that the risk of obesity was higher among boys with unhealthful and moderate lifestyle habits, as well as primary school students with unhealthful lifestyle habits (OR=1.15, 1.11, 1.27, P<0.05). Boys, girls and primary school students with unhealthful lifestyle habits, girls and ordinary high school students with moderate lifestyle habits had higher risk of being overweight (OR=1.14, 1.32, 1.21, 1.18, 1.40, P<0.05).
Conclusions
The detection rates of overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin shows an increasing trend. Comprehensive lifestyle should be implemented to better prevent and control the risk of overweight and obesity.

From the perspectives of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) information knowledge base and assisted decision-making knowledge base, the construction status, quality evaluation status and existing problems of current TCM knowledge bases have been sorted out. And based on the quality evaluation strategies and dimensions of know-ledge bases in other disciplines, the evaluation indexes for TCM knowledge base is discussed, and the evaluation framework is initially formed, providing ideas for the improvement of the TCM knowledge base evaluation system. In terms of the evaluation indexes, there are basic evaluation dimensions which include data sources, data collection, and data application. The specific evaluation dimension of the information-based knowledge base is data quality, while that of the assisted decision-making knowledge base is data matching. Except for the data application dimension which counts the valid data items in the database for calculation, other indexes are scored based on the qualitative evaluation of "yes", "no" or "unknown". The basic evaluation score and the specific evaluation score are added to obtain the total score. The knowledge base is graded according to the score, and the results are presented in the form of grade plus number.

Objective:
To investigate the comorbidity of myopia and scoliosis among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin, and to analyze the school environment risk factors contributing to these health issues, so as to provide a scientific basis for development effective prevention measures.
Methods:
A total of 41 654 primary and secondary school students from 16 districts of Tianjin were selected by stratified random cluster sampling from September to October 2023 to screen for myopia and scoliosis. Univariate analysis was performed to examine the data, followed by a bivariate multivariate Logistic regression model and cumulative effect analysis to explore the influencing factors of their comorbidity.
Results:
In 2023, the prevalence of comorbidity of screening positive myopia and scoliosis among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin was 2.65%. The prevalence was higher in suburban areas (3.26%) compared to urban areas (2.02%), higher among females (3.81%) compared to males (1.59%), and highest in high school students (6.17%) compared to middle school (4.19%) and primary school students (0.44%) (χ2=62.23, 198.69, 953.19, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of physical education classes ≥3 per week, the number of eye health exercises at school ≥2 per day, outdoor activities between classes, teachers reminding to pay attention to reading and writing posture and strict eye standing posture were negatively correlated with the comorbidity of screening positive myopia and scoliosis (OR=0.66, 0.77, 0.71, 0.78, 0.74, P<0.05). Reading or electronic screen while lying or lying on the stomach was positively associated with the comorbidity of screening positive myopia and scoliosis (OR=1.77, P<0.05). Cumulative effect analysis showed that the cumulative score (4-7, 7-9, ≥10) was negatively correlated with the comorbidity of screening positive of myopia and scoliosis (OR=0.65, 0.55, 0.52, P<0.05).
Conclusions
The school environment support and students personal behavior habits in school are related to the comorbidity of comorbidity of screening positive myopia and scoliosis. Prevention and control of myopia and scoliosis should improve the environmental factors related to students health in school.

Objective:
To investigate the tendency of obesity and depressive symptoms in middle school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a reference for exploring the clustering patterns of health risk behaviors and their effects on obesity and depressive symptoms.
Methods:
A stratified cluster sampling method was used to investigate the obesity, depressive symptoms and health risk behaviors of middle school students from 16 counties of Tianjin from 2019 to 2023. The latent classes analysis was used to classify health risk behaviors. The χ 2 test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the effects of different categories on obesity and depression symptoms.
Results:
The obesity detection rate of middle school students in Tianjin from 2019 to 2023 first increased ( 20.90% in 2019, 23.35% in 2020) and then decreased and gradually stabilized (2021-2023:22.20%-22.69%), and the detection rate of depressive symptoms showed a decreasing trend (from 21.65% to 14.92%). The detection rate of comorbidity of obesity and depressive symptoms first increased (4.62% in 2019, 4.66% in 2020) and then gradually decreased to 3.43% in 2023, and the rate was higher in boys than in girls and higher in urban areas than in suburban areas. Latent category analysis classified health risk behaviors into four categories: lack of exercise group, poor behaviors such as sleep group, poor diet group and healthy group. After adjusting for demographic characteristics,the results of Logistic regression analysis showed that the co-occurrence risk of obesity and depression symptoms among the top three groups of middle school students were 1.35( OR=1.35, 95%CI =1.15-1.58), 4.20( OR=4.20, 95%CI =3.50-5.04), and 1.84( OR=1.84, 95%CI =1.40-2.38)times, compared to the healthy group ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
From 2019 to 2023, the comorbidity rate of obesity and depression among middle school students in Tianjin increased first and then decreased gradually. Interventions should be made in the aspects of exercise, diet, sleep and other behaviors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Xinfeng capsules on immunoinflammatory indicators in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to spleen deficiency and dampness exuberance. MethodA total of 102 patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method, with 51 cases in each group. All patients were treated with methotrexate tablets, while those in the observation group received additional Xinfeng capsules. The course of treatment in both groups was 12 weeks. The 28-joint disease activity score (DAS28), visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, morning stiffness time, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and serum amyloid A (SAA) of the two groups before and after treatment were compared. The efficacy and incidence of adverse events were compared between the two groups. The Apriori association rule model and random walk model were constructed to evaluate the effect of Xinfeng capsules in improving hs-CRP, ESR, RF, SAA, VEGF, and anti-CCP. ResultThere were no dropouts in this study. There was no statistical difference in the indicators between the two groups before treatment. After 12 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was 90.19% (46/51), which was higher than 74.51% (38/51) in the control group (χ2=4.320,P<0.05). DAS28, VAS score, and morning stiffness time in the observation group were improved compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). Apriori association rule model results showed that the application of Xinfeng capsules in the observation group had a strong correlation with the reduction of RF, ESR, hs-CRP, SAA, and VEGF. The results of the random walk model showed that the improvement coefficients of hs-CRP, ESR, RF, SAA, and VEGF in the observation group were all better than those of the control group, and the improvement coefficient of anti-CCP in the control group was better than that of the observation group. The improvement degree of hs-CRP, ESR, RF, SAA, and VEGF in the observation group was superior to that of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than in the control group (χ2=4.057,P<0.05). ConclusionOn the basis of the treatment with methotrexate tablets, Xinfeng capsules can effectively improve the immunoinflammatory level in RA due to spleen deficiency and dampness exuberance and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.
