Objective:
To analyze the relationship between 24 h movement behaviors and cognitive function in children and adolescents, as well as the isotemporal substitution benefits, in order to provide a basis for developing cognitive development intervention strategies among children and adolescents.
Methods:
Relevant studies were searched in the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases from their inception to November 30, 2024. Systematic evaluation was performed after document screening, data extraction and quality assessment.
Results:
A total of 24 highquality studies were included, comprising 35 295 children and adolescents aged 3-18 years. Adhering to the 24 h activity guidelines was associated with better cognitive performance (19 studies). Additionally, substituting 5-30 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) or sleep (SLP) for sedentary behavior (SB) or light physical activity (LPA) were associated with improvements in cognitive function (7 studies). There were inconsistencies in the effects of different types of SB (learning or entertainment) on cognitive function.
Conclusions
Adherence to the 24 h activity guidelines supports cognitive development in children and adolescents, with MVPA and SLP as key intervention targets. Increasing the proportion of MVPA, ensuring adequate SLP, and limiting recreational SB and screen time might be helpful to enhance the combined benefits of these three behaviors.

Biomolecular condensates are formed through phase separation of biomacromolecules such as proteins and RNAs. These condensates exhibit liquid-like properties that can futher transition into more stable material states. They form complex internal structures via multivalent weak interactions, enabling precise spatiotemporal regulations. However, the use of inconsistent and non-standardized terminology has become increasingly problematic, hindering academic exchange and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the terminology related to biomolecular condensates in order to clarify concepts, promote interdisciplinary cooperation, enhance research efficiency, and support the healthy development of this field.

Aging is a natural process in which tissue and organ function declines as organisms age. Aging is the inevitable outcome of the organism and is irreversible. The aging process is accompanied by degenerative changes in the morphological structure of multiple organs of the body, leading to an increase in the incidence of chronic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes year by year. In recent years, natural phytochemicals have attracted widespread attention from the public due to their advantages such as non-toxicity or low toxicity, low cost, and various biological activities. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a dietary polyphenol extracted from green tea, which has a variety of biological functions including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and anti-aging activities. The EGCG-mediated anti-aging mechanism has been investigated in many studies with different aging models. This article reviews the research progress on rodents, nematodes, fruit flies, and cell aging models, focusing on summarizing the lifespan extension and physiological changes of rodents, nematodes and fruit flies after EGCG intervention from multiple angles, and exploring potential mechanism by which EGCG delays aging and extends lifespan. This review provides a theoretical reference for the study of the anti-aging mechanism of phytochemicals.

BACKGROUND:Spinal cord injury involves mechanisms such as oxidative stress,inflammation,apoptosis and autophagy.Activation of autophagy can improve neuromotor function after spinal cord injury and play a protective role in the spinal cord. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Periplaneta americana powder on hindlimb motor function and the autophagy protein Beclin-1 in the injured site of rats after spinal cord hemisection. METHODS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats,6-8 weeks of age,were randomly divided into three groups(n=10 per group).In the sham-operated group,the lamina was just opened to exposure the spinal cord followed by suturing.Normal saline group and Periplaneta americana powder group both underwent left hemisection of the spinal cord to prepare animal models of spinal cord hemisection.The normal saline group was continuously gavaged with normal saline for 14 days,and the Periplaneta americana powder group was continuously gavaged with Periplaneta americana powder for 14 days.The Basso Beattie Bresnahan scale score was performed at the 6th hour,1st day,3rd day,7th day and 14th day after operation to observe the hindlimb motor function.After 14 days of administration,the rats were sacrificed and sampled.Immunohistochemistry,western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of Beclin-1 in the injured site of the spinal cord after hemisection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After operation,the Basso Beattie Bresnahan scale scores were gradually increased in the normal saline group and Periplaneta americana powder group.Compared with the sham-operated group,the Basso Beattie Bresnahan scale scores were significantly reduced in the normal saline group and Periplaneta americana powder group at the 6th hour,1st day,3rd day,7th day and 14th day after operation(P<0.05).The Basso Beattie Bresnahan scale scores in the Periplaneta americana powder group were significantly higher than those in the normal saline group at the 7th and 14th days after operation(P<0.05).Immunohistochemical staining showed that Beclin-1 was weakly positive in the sham-operated group,mainly expressed in the cytoplasm;in the normal saline group,Beclin-1 was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and partially expressed in the nuclear membrane;in the Periplaneta americana powder group,Beclin-1 was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and partially expressed in the nuclear membrane.The proportion of Beclin-1 positive cells was higher in the normal saline and Periplaneta americana powder groups than in the sham-operated group(P<0.05),while the proportion of Beclin-1 positive cells was higher in the Periplaneta americana powder group than in the normal saline group(P<0.05).Western blot assay and immunofluorescence staining showed that the Beclin-1 protein expression was higher in the normal saline and Periplaneta americana powder groups than in the sham-operated group(P<0.05),and moreover,the Beclin-1 protein expression was higher in the Periplaneta americana powder group than in the normal saline group(P<0.05).To conclude,Periplaneta americana powder could improve the hindlimb motor function of rats with spinal cord hemisection injury,and the mechanism may be that polysaccharides in the Periplaneta americana powder increase the expression of Beclin-1.
