Objective:
To explore the relationship between school sports environment and physical activity levels of middle school students, so as to provide theoretical and empirical support for optimizing school sports environment and enhance adolescent physical activity.
Methods:
Using multi-stage random cluster sampling, from September to December 2023, 1 329 junior and senior high school students from Xuancheng City of Anhui Province, Lianyungang City of Jiangsu Province, Wuhan City of Hubei Province, Qiqihar City and Suihua City of Heilongjiang Province, and Shenzhen City of Guangdong Province were selected. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) assessed students physical activity levels, and the questionnaire on the characteristics of school sports environment was developed to evaluate the factors of school sports environment. Multivariate ordered Logistic regression was performed to analyze the correlation between school sports environment factors and physical activity levels, and the analytic hierarchy process determined the weight of key influencing factors.
Results:
The results showed that weekly vigorous physical activity time was [60 (25, 90)] minutes, moderate physical activity time was [60 (30, 90)] minutes, light physical activity time was [105 (40, 200)] minutes, and sedentary behavior time was [ 3 300 (2 100, 4 500)] minutes, only 10.53% of the students met World Health Organization physical activity recommendations, and 89.69% of the students averaged >8 h daily sedentary time. Multivariate ordered Logistic regression showed that adequate sports equipment significantly promoted physical activity across all intensities and reduced sedentary time ( OR = 4.97, 11.54, 4.03, 0.11); diverse sports activities improved vigorous and moderate physical activity while reducing sedentary time ( OR =4.20, 14.06, 0.17); and peer encouragement was associated with increased low-intensity physical activities and decreased sedentary time ( OR =10.40, 0.15)( P <0.05). The analytic hierarchy process weighting analysis identified the top three influential factors related to physical activity among middle school students: sufficient sports equipment, varied physical education activities, frequent peer encouragement, the influence weight accounts for 23.55% , 14.18% and 11.77% of the total, respectively.
Conclusion
Key school sports environmental factors for adolescent physical activity level include ensuring adequate sports equipment and class availability, diversifying activity content, fostering peer support, and cultivating an active sports culture and a comprehensive approach encourage students participation in extracurricular physical activities.

ObjectiveTo explore whether fluoroethylnormemantine (FENM), an NMDA receptor antagonist, could improve compulsive-like behaviors and to investigate its underlying mechanisms in the RU24969-induced obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) mouse model. MethodsThirty-two mice were randomly assigned to four groups: Saline (n=8), RU24969 (n=8), RU+FENM (n=8), and FENM (n=8). Mice received FENM or an equivalent volume of saline for pre-treatment, followed by RU24969 or saline for model induction 30 minutes later. Behavioral tests were performed 1 hour after modeling, and serum samples were collected to measure the level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Evans Blue dye was intravenously injected to assess dye content in brain tissue, thereby evaluating potential blood-brain barrier damage. ResultsFENM treatment significantly improved repetitive stereotyped circling behavior (F=39.850, P<0.001) and alleviated persistent motor activity (F=50.200, P<0.001) in RU24969 model mice. Additionally, FENM treatment significantly increased serum BDNF level in RU24969-induced OCD mice (F=18.930, P<0.001). ConclusionsFENM , an NMDA receptor antagonist, may alleviate compulsive behaviors in OCD mice by modulating BDNF levels , thereby exerting anti-compulsive effects. Neither the RU24969 model nor FENM treatment significantly affectes blood-brain barrier integrity.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a major complication following coronary revascularization. Studies indicate that its pathophysiological mechanisms of MIRI are closely associated with oxidative stress, iron overload, inflammatory responses, and lipid peroxidation. Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance in redox homeostasis under pathological conditions, characterized by the abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which disrupts the dynamic balance between pro-oxidant systems and antioxidant defense networks. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of MIRI due to its multi-target and multi-pathway antioxidant properties. Research reveals that TCM primarily exerts protective effects against oxidative stress-induced MIRI by regulating signaling pathways such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3), and protein kinase C beta Ⅱ/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2/reactive oxygen species (PKCβⅡ/NOX2/ROS). This article reviews recent literature on TCM monomers, compound formulas, and their active components, which alleviate oxidative stress to prevent and treat MIRI by modulating the aforementioned signaling pathways. It summarizes a concise overview of the molecular mechanisms by which oxidative stress-related signaling pathways lead to MIRI, discusses how TCM regulates these pathways to reduce oxidative stress-induced MIRI, and explores clinical application prospects and research challenges, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for the research and clinical management of MIRI.

Objective:To observe the effects of ointment and massage on inflammation, oxidative stress and angiogenesis after skeletal muscle trauma, and to explore their mechanisms.Methods:Forty-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a blank group ( n=6), an ointment and massage (O&M) group ( n=18) and a model group ( n=18). The blunt contusion model of gastrocnemius malformation was established in both the O&M and model groups using self-made percussion instruments. Two hours after successful modeling, the anti-inflammatory pain-relieving cream was applied to the injured area, and massaged evenly and gently for 5 minutes. That was repeated with an interval of 12 hours. No treatment was given to the model and blank groups. On the 1st, 3rd and 7th days after modeling, injured gastrocnemius muscles were resected after collecting abdominal blood. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunofluorescent (CD34) staining were applied, and serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were detected. Results:HE staining showed that at each time point the gastrocnemius muscle fibers of the model group were significantly more swollen and deformed, collapsed and dissolved than those of the blank group, with a large number of inflamed cells. The O&M group had better recovery, with more newly-generated muscle cells, less inflammatory infiltration and more normal cell shapes than the model group. Fluorescence was stronger in the O&M and model groups than in the blank group at each time point, with that of the O&M group significantly stronger than in the model group. The average SOD and MDA levels in the model and O&M groups were significantly higher than in the blank group, and on the 1st and 3rd days the O&M group′s average SOD level was significantly higher than the model group′s average, though by the 7th day there was no significant difference. The average MDA content of the O&M group was significantly lower than the model group′s average at each time point.Conclusion:Ointment and massage can effectively reduce the local inflammatory response and oxidative stress after a skeletal muscle injury. They can accelerate local angiogenesis, promoting the repair of damaged tissues.

Background 137Cs in atmospheric aerosol is the product of past nuclear weapon tests and nuclear accidents. When 137Cs is released into the atmosphere, it will deposit in dry land and marine environment, causing pollution of soil surface, water, agricultural products, and animal byproducts, and affecting public health. Objective To identify the variation pattern of 137Cs activity concentration in aerosol and its correlation with dust concentration in Beijing area from 2017 to 2020. Methods A total of 958 aerosol samples were collected from November 1, 2017 to June 30, 2020 in Beijing with a high volume air sampler at a sampling flow rate about 600 m3·h−1 and a collection time for each sample about 24 h. The activity concentration of 137Cs in the aerosol samples was determined with a low-background high-purity germanium γ spectrometer. The dust concentration was calculated using the difference in the mass of the aerosol filter before and after sampling. The detection rate of 137Cs and dust concentration in different seasons were compared. Spearman rank correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between 137Cs activity concentration and dust concentration. Results From 2017 to 2020, the 137Cs activity concentrations of 33 from 958 aerosol samples in Beijing were above the minimum detectable activityconcentration, the overall detection rate of 137Cs was 3.4%, and the activity concentration ranged from 1.86 to 45.53 μBq·m−3, with a median value of 4.85 μBq·m−3. The detection rate of 137Cs was highest in spring, followed by autumn, and lowest in winter and summer (8.4%, 3.0%, 1.1%, and 0.5%, respectively). The dust concentration ranged from 0.03 to 1.55 mg·m−3, with an average value of 0.18 mg·m−3. There was a statistically significant difference in the dust concentrations in spring, summer, autumn, and winter (F=45.51, P<0.05), and the highest value was 0.24 mg·m−3 in spring (P<0.05). The 137Cs activity concentration was positively correlated with the dust concentration (P<0.05). Conclusion The 137Cs activity concentration in aerosol in Beijing from 2017 to 2020 fluctuates within the range of background level, and its activity concentration is highest in spring, followed autumn, and lowest in summer and winter.

The microcosmic syndrome differentiation is expounded from the the trinity life view of the body, qi, and spirit. This article analysed the relationship between micro-indicators and body, qi and spirit, considering that the abnormalities of micro-indicators in pathological states involve three different levels in terms of body, qi and spirit, and may reflect the degree of malfunction of body, qi and spirit and the dynamic changes of the focus during different pathological processes.Accordingly, based on the syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, it is proposed that the macroscopic and the microscopic, the local and the whole, as well as the imbalance of body, qi and spirit reflected by microscopic and macroscopic indicators at different stages of disease should be combined to determine the corresponding treatment, thereby restoring the “harmony of body and spirit” of the human body.

Objective:To systematically analyze the short-term and long-term efficacy of pancreatic stent placement in the treatment of hyperlipidemic pancreatitis (HTGP).Methods:This retrospective case-control study included 66 HTGP patients who received treatment at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 1, 2017 to June 1, 2020. Among them, 53 were male and 13 were female, with an age of (39.67±9.99) years. Patients were divided into stent group (20 cases) and conservative group (46 cases) based on whether they received pancreatic stent placement treatment. The main observation indicators included symptom relief, biochemical index recovery, recurrence rate, and incidence of complications.Results:In terms of short-term efficacy, compared with the conservative group, the stent group showed significantly better acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II scores [(2.85±1.66) vs. (4.59±2.60), P=0.008], lower incidence of organ failure [15.0% (3/20) vs. 41.3% (19/46), P=0.037], and lower incidence of short-term complications [10.0% (2/20) vs. 60.9% (28/46), P=0.012], all of which were statistically significant. In terms of long-term efficacy, the median time to first recurrence was significantly longer in the stent group (15 months) compared to the conservative group (12 months) ( Z=2.04, P=0.042). However, there was no statistically significant difference in recurrence rates between the two groups [50.0% (9/18) vs. 57.9% (22/38), P=0.579]. The incidence of late complications was also significantly lower in the stent group [5.6% (1/18) vs. 31.6% (12/38), P=0.042]. Conclusions:Pancreatic stent placement therapy has significant advantages in improving short-term symptoms and reducing the incidence of complications in HTGP patients, but the overall recurrence rate do not significantly decrease.
