OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of Yiqi huoxue decoction (YQHX) on lumbar disc herniation in rats. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, NF-κB inhibitor group (QNZ group, 1 mg/kg), YQHX group (9.1 g/kg) and combination group (YQHX+QNZ group, the same dose as each single drug group), with 10 rats in each group. Except for sham operation group, lumbar disc herniation model of rats was induced in other groups; administration groups were given QNZ intraperitoneally or/and YQHX intragastrically, once a day, for 8 consecutive weeks. The severity of intervertebral disc herniation was evaluated in each group; the pathological changes of intervertebral discs and the changes of autophagy of nucleus pulposus cells were all observed; the level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum, and the ratios of Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) and Beclin-1 positive cells in intervertebral disctissues were detected; the phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, the expressions of tumor necrosis factor receptor- associated factor-2 (TRAF-2), TRAF-3, BNIP3 and LC3B protein, and mRNA expressions of NF-κB p65, LC3B, p62,BNIP3 and Beclin-1 were determined. RESULTS Compared with model group, Pfirrmann grading score decreased significantly,the pathological injury of intervertebral disc tissue was relieved in YQHX group; the number of autophagosomes in nucleus pulposus cells increased; serum level of TNF-α and mRNA expression of p62 in intervertebral disc tissue decreased significantly; the ratios of BNIP3 and Beclin-1 positive cells, the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65, the expressions of TRAF-2, TRAF-3, BNIP3 and LC3B protein as well as the mRNA expressions of NF- κB p65, LC3B, BNIP3 and Beclin-1 decreased significantly in intervertebral disc tissues (P<0.05). The changes of above indexes in YQHX group were reversed partly in YQHX+QNZ group. CONCLUSIONS YQHX promotes the elevation of autophagy level of intervertebral discs, slows down the inflammatory response and the progression of lumbar disc herniation by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(5):727-731
Objective:
To study the impact of sleep characteristics on myopia, among lower primary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide foundation for the prevention of the onset and development of myopia.
Methods:
A total of 636 students from the first and second grades of two primary schools in Jiading District, Shanghai, were selected through cluster random sampling for questionnaire surveys and ophthalmological examinations in October 2022. The Childrens Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep quality at baseline. Ophthalmological examinations were conducted in October 2023(479), during which the students study time, screen time and outdoor activity time were monitored for twoweek, repeated twice. Generalized multivariable Logistic regression models and linear regression models were employed to examine the association between sleeprelated factors and myopia, as well as the strength of this association.
Results:
The baseline survey indicated a myopia prevalence of 18.58%, with 17.18% at followup. The average CSHQ total score was (51.58±4.44), and the average daily sleep duration was (9.43±4.84)h/d, with only 11.6% of participants meeting the recommended sleep sufficiency. Multivariable regression models indicated that insufficient sleep showed positive association with myopia (OR=1.64, 95%CI=1.05-2.56), while bedtime duration was significantly negative associated with myopia (OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.63-0.91, P<0.05), adjusting for confounding factors. Inconsistency in bed rest time was a risk factor for myopia (OR=1.07, P<0.05), and the consistency of bed rest time, and wakeup time showed statistically significant correlations with SE (P<0.05). There was also statistically significant correlations between consistency in sleep time, bed rest time, and wakeup time with AL (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Insufficient sleep and bedtime duration are correlated with the onset and progression of myopia. It is critical to ensure sufficient sleep duration and regular sleep habits for children to reduce the occurrence of myopia in the primary school students.

ObjectiveTo explore the protective effects of Dahuang Tangluo pills on early diabetic kidkdey disease (DKD) in db/db mice. MethodEight db/m mice were selected as the control group. Forty male db/db mice were selected and blood samples were collected via tail vein to measure fasting blood glucose (FBG). Mice with FBG ≥ 16.7 mmol·L-1, increased urine output, and persistent albuminuria were considered successful in model establishment. After successful modeling, they were randomly divided into a model group, a dapagliflozin group (1.5 mg·kg-1·d-1), and high, medium, and low dose groups of Dahuang Tangluo pills (3.6, 1.8, 0.9 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively), with eight mice in each group. All medication groups were administered orally, while the control and model groups were given an equal amount of distilled water by gavage daily. After continuous administration for 10 weeks, the survival status of the mice was observed, and their body weight, FBG, and kidney function-related indicators were measured. Inflammatory indicators in renal tissues were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, Masson staining, and electron microscopy were used to observe the pathological changes in renal tissues in each group. Immunofluorescence was employed to examine the expression of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) proteins. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were utilized to detect the gene and protein expression levels of AGEs, RAGE, inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) kinase (IKK), and NF-κB in the renal tissues of mice in each group. ResultCompared with control group, the model group showed a significant increase in body weight, FBG, serum creatinine (SCr), urinary microalbumin/urine creatinine ratio (ACR), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TG) (P<0.05). The levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in renal tissues were significantly elevated (P<0.05). Renal histopathological staining and electron microscopy revealed loose arrangement, gaps, structural disarray, mesangial proliferation, and significant fibrosis in renal tissues. Real-time PCR results showed a significant increase in the expression of RAGE, IKK, and NF-κB genes in renal tissues (P<0.05). Immunofluorescence results demonstrated a significant increase in the expression of AGEs and RAGE proteins in renal tissues (P<0.05). Western blot results showed a significant increase in the expression of AGEs, RAGE, IKK, and NF-κB proteins in renal tissues (P<0.05). After drug intervention, compared with model group, the dapagliflozin group and the high-dose Dahuang Tangluo pills group showed significant reductions in body weight, FBG, SCr, and ACR (P<0.05), and a significant decrease in TC in mouse serum (P<0.05), while the high-dose Dahuang Tangluo pills group showed a significant decrease in TG in mouse serum (P<0.05). All treatment groups showed a significant reduction in ICAM-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in renal tissues (P<0.05). Renal histopathological staining and electron microscopy showed improved kidney injury, decreased collagen fiber deposition, and reduced mesangial proliferation in all treatment groups. Real-time PCR results showed a significant decrease in the expression of RAGE, IKK, and NF-κB genes in the dapagliflozin group and the high- and medium-dose Dahuang Tangluo pills groups (P<0.05). Immunofluorescence results demonstrated a significant decrease in the expression of AGEs and RAGE proteins in the dapagliflozin group and the high- and medium-dose Dahuang Tangluo pills groups (P<0.05). Western blot results showed a significant decrease in the expression of AGEs, RAGE, IKK, and NF-κB proteins in the dapagliflozin group and the high- and medium-dose Dahuang Tangluo pills groups (P<0.05). ConclusionDahuang Tangluo pills can improve the pathological structure of the kidneys and reduce renal inflammation in DKD mice, possibly through inhibiting the AGEs/RAGE/IKK/NF-κB pathway.

This study used the Appraisal of Guidelines Research & Evaluation-Health Systems (AGREE-HS) to demonstratively compare 34 global coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) health systems guidance documents (HSGs) and 6 World Health Organization (WHO) standard HSGs. The comparison involved topic, participants, methods, recommendations, and implementability, with the aim of exploring the characteristics of emergency HSGs. The results showed that the emergency HSGs had an overall average score of 49%, with topic having the highest score, recommendations having the second highest score, and participants having the lowest score. The standard HSGs had an overall average score of 79%, with high scores in all items. The emergency HSGs had lower scores in participants, methods, recommendations, and implementability than the standard HSGs (P<0.001), while the COVID-19 emergency HSGs developed by the WHO had higher score in topic than the standard HSGs (P<0.05). Compared with those released by countries, the COVID-19 emergency HSG developed by the WHO showed superiority in all items and overall scores (P=0.000 2). This indicates that emergency HSGs, represented by the COVID-19 emergency HSG, place equal emphasis on topic and recommendations as standard HSGs but have low requirements in terms of expert participation, evidence support, and comprehensive consideration in the time- and resource-limited context. They have the characteristics of prominent topics, clear purposes, orientation to demand, keeping up with the latest evidence, flexible adjustment, and timeliness, emphasizing immediate implementation effects, weakening long-term effects, and focusing on comprehensive benefits. Additionally, developers, types, and report completeness are important influencing factors.

The scientific rigor and efficacy of methodologies employed in drafting emergency health systems guidance documents (HSGs) are paramount in guaranteeing the quality, reliability, and applicability of HSGs. According to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation- Health Systems (AGREE-HS), we demonstratively assessed both global coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) emergency HSGs and World Health Organization (WHO) standard HSGs to uncover the core attributes of methods employed in the development of emergency HSGs. Our evaluation findings revealed that across the five assessment items of AGREE-HS, methods in the 34 emergency HSGs evaluated ranked third, trailing behind topic and recommendations. Notably, criterion 2 (the best available and most contextually relevant evidence is considered) received the highest score, whereas criterion 5 (evidence of cost and cost-effectiveness of the potential options is described) scored the lowest. Compared with the WHO standard HSGs, the COVID-19 emergency HSGs exhibited low scores in methods (P<0.05), which was reflected in nine criteria (P<0.05), especially in criteria 1 (systematic and transparent methods are used to identify and review the evidence) and 9 (systematic and transparent methods are used to agree upon the final recommendations). Among the COVID-19 emergency HSGs, that developed by the WHO achieved higher scores in eight out of all nine criteria, excluding criterion 8 (P<0.05). The clinically relevant emergency HSGs had higher scores in the criteria 3 (the evidence base is current) and 8 (the rationale behind the recommendations is clear) than other types of emergency HSGs. Collectively, the methodology for developing emergency HSGs, represented by the COVID-19 emergency HSG, underscores evidence orientation and integrates expert consensus. It is characterized by adaptable evidence synthesis strategies, streamlined evidence review protocols, and contextual relevance, all of which are influenced by external, internal, and implementation-specific factors.

The formulation method of emergency health systems guidance (HSG) is crucial, directly impacting the efficiency and effectiveness of responses in emergencies. A scientifically sound, systematic, and easily executable guidance document can assist health institutions at all levels in quickly coordinating resources, standardizing emergency response processes, and safeguarding public health. This study employed the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation for Health Systems (AGREE-HS) to analyze the characteristics of participants in developing emergency HSGs represented by the COVID-19 emergency HSG. The results showed that in the 34 HSGs included in this study, the item participants received the lowest score. Within this item, criterion 1 (diversity of development group) scored the highest (3.13±1.55), while criterion 5 (prevention of funding agency influence) scored the lowest (1.21±0.47). There were differences (P<0.05) in measures taken to mitigate funding agency influence between the six standard HSGs developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the four emergency HSGs. Additionally, differences (P<0.05) existed in the development group members, background, conflicts of interest, and preventive measures between the six WHO standard HSGs and the 34 emergency HSGs, as well as between the HSGs developed by the WHO and those developed by countries. The participants in developing emergency HSGs were influenced by various factors, including limited time for guideline development, modes of participation, scarce evidence, and uncertainties in expected outcomes. There is a need to downplay extensive requirements concerning the composition of group members, institutional diversity, and conflicts of interest, emphasizing the roles of key participants like government officials and professionals who can provide rapid, practical guidance in emergency situations.

Guidance implementation acts as a bridge between theory and practice,enabling the rapid expansion of their impact and application. This study demonstratively evaluated emergency health systems guidance documents (HSG),represented by the COVID-19 emergency HSG,based on the item implementability of the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation-Health Systems (AGREE-HS),aiming to explore the characteristics of implementability in emergency HSG. The evaluation results indicated that the COVID-19 emergency HSG had a low mean score in implementability,which ranked just above the item participants. Criterion 2 (costs and resource considerations for implementing the recommendations) received the highest mean score of 4.29,while criterion 9 (systematic evaluation of implementation) received the lowest mean score of 1.34. The emergency HSG formulated by the World Health Organization(WHO) and those formulated by various countries showed no difference (P=0.114) in criterion 1 (barriers and facilitators to implementation) but had differences (P<0.05) regarding the average item scores and the scores of the remaining criteria. The WHO standard HSG had high overall scores and had differences (P<0.05) in both the mean item scores and the scores of the nine criteria when compared with the emergency HSG. The global/national HSG showed differences in scores of criterion 1 (barriers and facilitators to implementation) compared with the both clinically relevant HSG and material support HSG (P<0.05). Emergency HSG prioritized considerations of implementation costs,resources,and flexibility in terms of implementability,while de-emphasizing aspects such as stakeholder opinions,dissemination strategies,and evaluation of HSG. This may be attributed to the context in which emergency HSG are formulated,given the inherent flexibility and variability of emergency health events. The developers should comprehensively consider the needs and characteristics related to the implementability of emergency HSG during the formulation process.
