Objective:
To investigate the effects of after school exercise service (referred to as the "after school ES") on physical health, so as to provide evidence for possible beneficial effect of after school ES.
Methods:
Students in the fourth grade of primary school were recruited from September 2021 to July 2022 in Changsha City and divided into the control group ( n =220) and the after school ES group ( n =220). The control group only participated in the regular physical education activities of the school. The after school ES group received after school ES for one academic year, 4 times a week, 40-50 minutes per time, for a total of 32 weeks. Body shape indicators such as height, weight and percentage of body fat, as well as physical fitness indicators such as 50 meter running, grip strength and progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run (PACER) were measured in September to October 2021 and June to July 2022, respectively. Independent sample t-test, Chi square test and two factors repeated measurement analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis of the data.
Results:
After one academic year, compared with the control group [(13.52±2.30)kg], muscle mass of primary school students in the after school ES group [(13.76±2.32)kg] significantly increased, while waist to hip ratio [(0.95±0.16)] and percentage of body fat [(20.17±7.43)%] significantly decreased compared to the control group [(1.01±0.21), (22.02±12.34)%]( F=330.70, 6.85, 4.33, P <0.05). The proportion of overweight and obesity in after school ES group decreased significantly from 19.5% to 12.3% ( χ 2=4.35, P <0.05). Compared with the control group, the scores of 50 meter running [(10.00±1.06, 10.21±0.83)s], 1 minute sit up [(33.25±8.24, 30.76±9.34)times], sitting and flexion [(14.53±7.50, 8.59±6.32)cm], 1 minute rope skipping [(125.01±30.50, 115.97±32.09)times], eyes closed and single legged standing [(30.00±34.72, 25.72±23.82)s], selective response time [(635.66±91.72, 652.79±120.42)ms] and VO 2max [(45.31± 1.02 , 43.67±0.85)mL/(kg〖 ·min)] in the after school ES group were significantly improved, with statistical significance ( F= 5.32 , 443.14, 97.23, 814.07, 36.49, 6.11, 396.91, P <0.05).
Conclusions
After school ES can improve body shape of primary school students, reduce the risk of overweight and obesity and enhance physical fitness. It is recommended that schools should appropriately increase after school ES to promote physical fitness of students.

Hyperkalemia is one of the common ion metabolism disorders in clinical practice. Hyperkalemia is defined as serum potassium higher than 5.0 mmol/L according to the guidelines at home and abroad. Acute severe hyperkalemia can cause serious consequences, such as flaccid paralysis, fatal arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest. The use of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors, β-blockers and diuretics, low-sodium and high-potassium diets, and the presence of related comorbidities increase the occurrence of hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia risk exist in all clinical departments, but there is a lack of a standardization in the management of multi- department cooperation in hospital. Therefore, a number of domestic nephrology and cardiology department experts have discussed a management model for multi-department cooperation in hyperkalemia, formulating the management standard on hospital evaluation, early warning, diagnosis and treatment, and process. This can promote each department to more effectively participate in nosocomial hyperkalemia diagnosis and treatment, as well as the long-term management of chronic hyperkalemia, improving the quality of hyperkalemia management in hospital.

Objective:To determine incidence of seasonal influenza virus infection in the community and to analyze the factors influencing seasonal influenza virus infection.Methods:This study recruited residents aged 6-59 years to build a cohort in 15 villages/streets in Macheng city in November 2019. Meanwhile, a cross-sectional baseline survey was conducted immediately to collect sera, information on demographics and child protection knowledge, behaviors, as well as attitudes using a questionnaire from the participants enrolled in the cohort (i.e., before the influenza epidemic season). In July 2020, a cross-sectional follow-up survey was conducted to collect sera once again (i.e., after the influenza season). Paired sera from the two cross-sectional surveys were tested for influenza virus-specific antibodies by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test or micro-neutralization (MN) test using a circulating representative strain of each subtype/lineage of influenza virus as the test antigen. The infections with influenza virus subtype/lineage was confirmed if there was a four-fold or more increase in titers of antibodies against circulating representative strain of the subtype/lineage of influenza virus. Factors influencing infection with influenza A (H3N2) and B/Victoria viruses were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression.Results:In November 2019, 800 study participants were enrolled in the cohort, including 340 children aged 6-17 years and 460 adults aged 18-59 years; 605 study participants (including 224 children and 381 adults) were followed up in July 2020 and their paired sera were obtained before and after the influenza season. 25.3% (153/605) of the participants were confirmed to be infected with at least one subtype/lineage of seasonal influenza virus by HI and MN tests. The overall incidence of influenza viruses of all subtypes/lineages in children was 44.2% (95% CI: 37.6%-50.8%) which was significantly higher than the incidence of 14.1% in adults (95% CI: 10.7%-17.7%). Children had the highest incidence of influenza A (H3N2) virus infection, followed by B/Victoria. MN or HI antibody titers in A (H3N2)[ OR=0.88 (95% CI: 0.84-0.93)] and B/Victoria[ OR=0.97 (95% CI: 0.95-0.99)] before the influenza season were significantly associated with whether children were infected with that subtype/lineage of influenza virus. Conclusions:The residents aged 6-59 years in Macheng city had a substantial incidence of seasonal influenza virus infection during the influenza season from winter 2019 to spring 2020. Notably, almost half of children aged 6-17 years have been infected with seasonal influenza virus. Higher titers of HI/MN antibodies against seasonal influenza virus before the influenza season would be likely to reduce the risk of infection with influenza A (H3N2) and B/Victoria.

OBJECTIVE To explore the new idea of creating pharmaceutical science popularization oriented by internet medication consultation questions, and provide references for pharmacists to create high-quality pharmaceutical science popularization articles. METHODS By taking the internet medication consultation questions from September 1st, 2021 to February 28th, 2022 in a hospital as samples, pharmaceutical science popularization were created by using the Pareto chart for summarizing and analyzing the demands of the public pharmaceutical knowledge. The readers and creating cycle of pharmaceutical science popularization before and after the implementation of this method were compared by statistical analysis. RESULTS According to the Pareto principle, the types of consultation questions were mainly concentrated on usage and dosage, adverse reactions, and precautions; the types of drug consultation were mainly concentrated on respiratory system medications, anti-infective drugs, rheumatic immune system medications, and orthopedic medications, etc. Fifteen topics of science popularization were identified. Among them, 5 were published before 2022 and did not adopt the Pareto chart method, serving as the pre-method and consistent with the target theme group (A group); 10 were published in 2022 after adopting the Pareto chart method, serving as the post- method group (B group); 5 articles published before 2022 were selected randomly, without adopting the Pareto chart method and inconsistent with the target theme, serving as the pre-method and inconsistencies with the target theme group (C group). Compared with the A group and the C group, the creating cycle of pharmaceutical science popularization in the B group was significantly reduced. Compared with the C group, the readers were significantly increased in the A group and the B group. CONCLUSIONS Pareto chart could help pharmacists utilize medication consultation questions to identify the pharmaceutical science popularization needed by the public, which could improve the efficiency and quality of creating pharmaceutical science popularization by pharmacists.

To investigate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Yunnan Province, explore its risk factors, and provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). This is a large cross-sectional study, in all, 1 524 DM patients in 16 communities and villages of Yunnan Province who were registered in health service centers were included in this study from August to November 2019. All patients completed a uniform questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, biochemical measurements, and auxiliary examinations. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of DR. The prevalence rates of DR, mild non-proliferative DR (mild-NPDR), and referable DR (RDR) were 16.0% (244/1 524), 4.5% (69/1 524), and 11.5% (175/1 524), respectively. Glycated hemoglobin A 1c (HbA 1c)≥7.0% was the risk factor of mild-NPDR ( OR=1.872, 95% CI 1.055-3.323) and RDR ( OR=4.821, 95% CI 2.917-7.969). Blood pressure≥130/80 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) was the risk factor of mild-NPDR ( OR=1.933, 95% CI 1.112-3.358) and RDR ( OR=1.505, 95% CI 1.063-2.130). In Yunnan Province, 16.0% DM patients had accompanying DR, wherein about 71.7% of them required an ophthalmology referral, and the high incidence of RDR in DM patients was associated with poor control of blood glucose and blood pressure.

Objective:To investigate the expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK), and recombinant C-Ros oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) in Spitz tumors, and to analyze their associations with clinical and histopathological features of Spitz tumors.Methods:Clinical and histopathological characteristics, as well as follow-up data, were collected from patients with Spitz tumors at Department of Pathology, Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2017 to August 2023, and retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical staining for ALK, pan-TRK, and ROS1 was performed on skin tissues, and associations between the expression of these kinase proteins and clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results:A total of 57 patients with Spitz tumors were collected, including 36 females and 21 males. Immunohistochemical staining showed that 30 (52.6%) patients were positive for ALK, 4 (7.0%) were positive for ROS1, only 2 (3.5%) were positive for TRK, and 21 (36.8%) were negative for the three kinase proteins. Among the 30 ALK-positive patients, the median age was 9.5 years, 21 (70.0%) were females, and 15 (50.0%) presented with lesions on the face, which mainly manifested as papules or nodules; histologically, 29 (96.7%) patients had hypopigmented tumors with an exophytic growth pattern, and the tumor cells were mainly large and long spindle cells arranged in long cord-like, plexiform or fascicular patterns. Among the 4 ROS1-positive patients, there were 3 females and 1 male, presenting with exophytic papules or polyps; histologically, tumor cells were mostly arranged in small nests, without obvious clefts around cell nests. Two TRK-positive patients were both males aged 20 and 50 years respectively, and presented with brown and skin-colored flat papules, respectively; histologically, the tumors were located superficially with a flat base, and tumor cells spread in a pagetoid pattern in the epidermis, with some epithelioid cells and small cell nests. Among the 21 patients negative for the 3 kinase proteins, 9 were males and 12 were females, and they clinically presented with macules, papules and polypoid lesions; histologically, most tumors were located superficially, consisting of a mixture of epithelioid cells and spindle cells, with rare cytological atypia and mitotic figures, and 2 cases showed mild tissue structural and cellular atypia. Fifty-seven patients were followed up for 2 - 83.3 months, with a median follow-up of 19.2 months. Only 1 ALK-positive child experienced a recurrence, and no recurrence or lymph node metastasis was observed in the other cases.Conclusions:Among the three kinase proteins, ALK showed the highest positive rate in Spitz tumors in this study, while TRK- and ROS1-positive cases were sporadic. Histopathologically, ALK-positive Spitz tumor cells were mainly long spindle cells arranged in long cord-like or plexiform patterns, while TRK- and ROS1-positive Spitz tumors tended to have small cell nests. Both the kinase protein-positive and -negative Spitz tumors mostly had a good prognosis.

Objective:To describe the characteristics, etiology and patterns of outpatients and inpatients patients with moderate or severe valvular heart disease (VHD).Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. Outpatients and inpatients with moderate or severe VHD who underwent transthoracic echocardiography for first examination from 1 st January 2001 to 1 st January 2020 in Southwest Hospital, Army Medical University were enrolled. Data were collected from medical records and big data platform of Southwest Hospital. Characteristics of age and gender, etiology and types of VHD were descriptively analysed. Results:A total of 68 354 patients with moderate or severe VHD were enrolled. The age was 63 (50, 72) years. And 35 706 (52.24%) patients were female. (1) Age characteristics: There was similar age trend between male and female patients with moderate or severe VHD. The number of patients increased firstly and then decreased and reached its peak in the age group of 65-69 years old. The peak age of mitral stenosis patients was 45-49 years, which was earlier than that of whole patients with moderate or severe VHD. The median age of patients with bicuspid aortic valve was 42 years. (2) Gender characteristics: The proportion of tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis and valve surgery in female patients with moderate or severe VHD were higher than those in male patients. The proportion of aortic regurgitation, aortic stenosis and bicuspid aortic valve in male patients with moderate or severe VHD were significantly higher than those in female patients (all P<0.05). (3) Etiology: The proportion of rheumatic VHD was 13.07% (8 934/68 354), which was higher than that of degenerative VHD (0.67% (458/68 354)). (4) Types of VHD: Tricuspid regurgitation made contribution to the largest proportion with 60.72% (41 503/68 354), followed by mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation, mitral stenosis, pulmonary regurgitation and aortic stenosis. Conclusions:There are certain regional characteristics in the prevalence of moderate or severe VHD in southwest China, suggesting different attention should be paid on the whole process of refined management of moderate or severe VHD.

Purpose To investigate the expression of fork-head box protein A1(FOXA1)in esophageal squamous cell car-cinoma(ESCC)and its association with clinicopathologic char-acteristics and prognosis.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect FOXA1 protein expression in 532 cases of esopha-geal squamous cell carcinoma.The correlation between FOXA1 protein expression and clinicopathologic features and prognosis of patients was analyzed.Results In 532 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,183 cases overexpressed FOXA1 pro-tein(34.4%).FOXA1 overexpression was associated with ES-CC vascular infiltration(P=0.032),poorly differentiation(P=0.032),and tumor size(P<0.001).The overall survival(OS)and disease free survival(DFS)of patients with stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with high FOXA1 ex-pression tended to be poor(OS:P=0.094;DFS:P=0.107).In ESCC patients with survival longer than 24 months,the high FOXA1 expression group had significantly shorter OS and DFS(OS:P=0.048;DFS:P=0.047).Multivariate survival anal-ysis showed that the depth of tumor invasion was an independent prognostic factor affecting the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Conclusion FOXA1 is overexpressed in e-sophageal squamous cell carcinoma,and its high expression is related to tumor size,vascular infiltration and poorly differentia-tion.Patients with high FOXA1 expression tended to have poor prognosis in OS and DFS.When OS and DFS≥24 months,high FOXA1 expression may be used as a reference indicator for poor prognosis in ESCC patients.

Objective To explore the effect of aerobic exercise on renal function abnormalities and mitochondrial oxidative stress of obese rats.Methods Ninety 5-week male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal diet group(CON,n=10)and a high-fat diet group(n=80).The latter group was on high-fat diet for 8 weeks to induce obesity with renal function abnormality.After success-ful modelling,40 rats were chosen and randomly divided into a high-fat diet control group(HFD)and three groups of high-fat diet+aerobic exercise with different intensities(40%VO2max,60%VO2max,and 80%VO2max),each of 10.All exercise groups underwent daily 60-min aerobic exercise on treadmill,5 days per week for 4 weeks.After the intervention,their body weight,body length,perirenal and epi-didymal fat weights were measured,and morphometric indices including fat-body ratio and Lee's in-dex were calculated.Moreover,such biochemical indicators of renal function as serum creatinine(SCr),serum cystatin C and urinary microalbumin(mALB)were tested.Meanwhile,the pathological changes of the kidney were observed using hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining and Periodic acid-Schiff(PAS)staining,while the ultrastructural changes of the kidney and mitochondria were observed using the transmission electron microscopy.Moreover,the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialde-hyde(MDA),and mitochondrial membrane potential in mitochondria were evaluated using ELISA kits.Results After 4 weeks of intervention,the average SCr,serum cystatin C,and mALB levels in the HFD group increased significantly compared with the CON group(P<0.05).Moreover,the average SCr levels of all exercise groups were significantly lower than the HFD group(P<0.05),with the average serum cystatin C and mALB levels of the 60%VO2max and 80%VO2max groups significantly lower than the HFD group(P<0.05).Meanwhile,the renal tubular epithelial cells in the HFD group showed mod-erate degeneration and increased glomerulosclerosis index(GSI)(P<0.05)and the degree of glomerular hypertrophy in each exercise group was significantly lower than the HFD group,with the renal tubules of the 60%VO2max group showing a clearer contour and decreased GSI(P<0.05).What's more,com-pared with the CON group,the number of swollen mitochondria in the HFD group increased,but the mitochondria damage of the 60%VO2max group relieved significantly compared with the HFD group.The renal mitochondrial MDA levels in the CON group increased significantly compared with the HFD group(P<0.05),and those of the exercise groups were significantly lower than the HFD group(P<0.05),with the most significant decrease in the 40%VO2max group(P<0.05).Moreover,the average renal mito-chondrial SOD and membrane potential levels in the HFD group decreased significantly compared with the CON group(P<0.05),while those in the 40%and the 60%VO2max groups were significantly higher than the HFD group(P<0.05).Conclusion Moderate to low intensity aerobic exercise can relieve renal dysfunction of obese rats by lowering the level of oxidative stress in renal mitochondria,mainly down-regulating such renal function biochemical indicators as SCr,serum cystatin C,and mALB,as well as alleviating the degree of renal tissue damage.
