Abstract
To analyzes the characteristics, problems and enlightenment of physical activity observation tools, so as to provide reference for researchers to quickly and accurately choose appropriate observation tools to evaluate children s and adolescents physical activity. Literature search is conducted in eight databases of Chinese and English, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, ERIC, and SPORTDiscus. Ultimately, eight observation tools for assessing physical activity in children and adolescents are included. Through summarization and comparison, it is found that the applications of those tools cover multiple age groups, the observation indicators cover multiple dimensions for each with varying emphases, and the applicable contexts vary in their specific background information, and recording methods tend to be quantitative. However, several issues remain to be addressed in practical applications. First, the observation indicators need to be supplemented and improved; second, physical activity in community environments and academic classrooms requires further attention; third, physical activity intensity needs to be scientifically evaluated; fourth, observation and recording methods need to be integrated and innovated; fifth, the number of observation subjects needs to be expanded. Future research could focus on developing observation tools tailored to the characteristics of Chinese children and adolescents, while drawing on foreign observation tools to comprehensively assess physical activity among children and adolescents.

OBJECTIVE To study the chemical components, components migrating to the blood and metabolites of Sanhua decoction in rats. METHODS Male Wistar rats were divided into administration group and blank group, with 6 rats in each group. The rats in the administration group were given 13.3 g/kg of Sanhua decoction lyophilized powder solution by gavage once a day in the morning and evening, and the rats in the blank group were given an equal volume of saline by gavage once a day in the morning and evening, both for 3 consecutive days. Plasma samples were collected from the two groups of rats after the last administration. The chemical components, prototype components migrating to the blood and metabolites of Sanhua decoction were analyzed by UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS technique. The structures were identified combined with the self-built natural product high- resolution mass spectrometry database and relevant literature. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Totally 69 compounds were identified from the lyophilized powder of Sanhua decoction, including 29 components from Rheum officinale, 16 components from Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 22 components from Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, and 10 components from Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix. Among them, 3 components (citric acid, L-tyrosine, adenosine) were present in all 4 medicinal herbs. Another component (feruloylgluconic acid) still needed to be specifically attributed. A total of 43 prototype components migrating to the blood were identified, including flavonoids, phenols, anthraquinones, phenylpropanoids, alkaloids and triterpenoids. A total of 61 metabolites were identified, predominantly consisting of flavonoids, anthraquinones and phenylpropanoids. The metabolic pathways mainly involved phase Ⅰ metabolic reactions such as demethylation and phase Ⅱ metabolic reactions like sulfation and glucuronidation.

Objective To elucidate the influence of two procedures aortic root remodeling using a straight tubular artificial vessel while preserving the aortic valve and the Florida sleeve procedure on the biomechanics of the aortic root.Methods Five finite element models of the aortic root were reconstructed using computed tomography angiography images,including two cases of aortic root remodeling(A1 and A2),two cases of the Florida sleeve procedure(B1 and B2),and one control group without aortic root pathology(C).Numerical simulations were performed to obtain the blood flow and pressure distribution result to assess the differences in the hemodynamics of the aortic root.Results There were no significant differences in the peak systolic velocity between the two procedures and the control.However,the flow velocity after aortic root remodeling was smoother,similar to the model of the control group,with a more stable average aortic pressure and wall shear stress.In the Florida sleeve procedure,high-speed blood flow affected the vessel wall,leading to various degrees of wall shear stress and pressure concentrations along the aortic wall.Conclusions After aortic root replacement with valve preservation,blood flow patterns in the reconstructed aortic root depended on postoperative changes in sinus geometry.Both surgical procedures showed favorable blood flow patterns;however,the flow pattern after aortic root remodeling was more stable than that after the Florida sleeve procedure.

Objective:To seek the optimal melanin-removal method for hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, immunohistochemistry and molecular detection.Methods:Thirty-eight paraffin tissue samples of malignant melanoma diagnosed at the Fujian Cancer Hospital, Fuzhou, China between January 2018 and March 2022 were collected and used to make a tissue microarray. Melanin in these cases was removed using warm hydrogen peroxide, double oxidation depigmentation, modified potassium permanganate-oxalic acid or trichloroisocyanuric acid, followed by HE staining. The cases were divided into two cohorts: one was subject to the one of the above four methods to remove melanin first, followed by immunohistochemistry (SOX-10, Ki-67, HMB45 and Melan A), while the other was subject to immunohistochemical staining first and then a melanin removal. Following that, seventeen melanin-rich paraffin tissue samples were collected and depigmented using the methods described above. DNA extraction was then done, followed by assessments of DNA content and quality. Moreover, the completeness of melanin removal, the effect on HE and immunohistochemical staining, and the quality of DNA were compared between the depigmented methods.Results:Regarding the effectiveness of melanin removal, the modified potassium permanganate-oxalic acid and the warm hydrogen peroxide methods were the most effective, and both showed residual melanin in only 5.26% (2/38) of the cases. The trichloroisocyanuric acid method showed residual melanin in 10.53% (4/38) of the cases. The worst was the double oxidation depigmentation method, which showed pigment residue in 15.79% (6/38) of the cases. For HE staining, the percentage of good staining with the warm hydrogen peroxide method was 92.11%, higher than the other three methods. For immunohistochemical staining, the mean staining scores of immunohistochemistry first followed by melanin removal with modified potassium permanganate-oxalic acid, double oxidation and trichloroisocyanuric acid were 20.84, 26.63 and 35.02, respectively. These immunohistochemical staining scores were higher than those of melanin removal first followed by immunohistochemistry (8.70, 15.41 and 21.22, respectively). The mean staining score of melanin removal by warm hydrogen peroxide method followed by immunohistochemistry was 33.57, superior to that of immunohistochemistry followed by the melanin removal (19.96). Moreover, the staining scores of HMB45, MelanA and Ki-67 with immunohistochemical staining followed by trichloroisocyanuric acid method were 36.45, 33.79, and 36.24, respectively, while the staining score of SOX10 with melanin removal by warm hydrogen peroxide followed by immunohistochemistry was 34.39. The DNA was significantly degraded by modified potassium permanganate-oxalic acid, double oxidation depigmentation and trichloroisocyanuric acid, whereas the mean concentration of DNA extracted after melanin removal by hydrogen peroxide method was 59.59 μg/L, substantially higher than that of DNA extracted without melanin removal (30.3 μg/L, P=0.001). The A260/ A280 of DNA extracted after melanin removal by hydrogen peroxide was between 1.8 and 2.0 in all cases, and the A260/ A230 was above 2.0 in sixteen cases, suggesting high purity of DNA. However, the DNA extracted without removing the melanin showed poor purity, with A260/ A280 below 1.8 in eight cases and A260/ A230 below 2.0 in sixteen cases. Conclusions:Warm hydrogen peroxide showed the least melanin residue, superior HE staining and a minimal effect on DNA purity/quality compared to the other three methods. It thus appears most suitable for PCR, NGS and other molecular detection. Melanin removal with trichloroisocyanuric acid after immunohistochemical staining has the least melanin residual, and thus could be the most convenient and efficient. However, it is noted that the efficacy of the same depigmentation method varies with different antibodies. Therefore, the optimal depigmentation method should be selected based on the specific markers of interest.

Objective To provide a reference for the selection of frailty assessment tools for stroke patients by conducting a literature review of existing frailty assessment tools for stroke patients. Methods Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, SinoMed, Wanfang, VIP, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) databases from their inception to May 2023. The literature that met the research purpose and question were screened, and the basic information of each article, including the first author, publication year, country of publication, type of research design, name of the assessment tool, dimensions of scale, the number of items, and assessment time, was extracted. Results A total of 1, 729 articles were retrieved in this study. After multiple screenings, 22 articles (including 8 frailty assessment tools) were ultimately included. The analysis results showed that the evaluation indicators, evaluation time, and evaluation methods of the 8 frailty assessment tools were different and had their own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, the frailty index was the most commonly used frailty assessment tool for stroke patients. The selection of effective frailty assessment tools for stroke patients is essential for strengthening prestroke risk stratification and improving poststroke outcomes. Conclusion There are significant differences among different frailty assessment tools, and existing assessment tools have limitations in measuring frailty in stroke patients. Comprehensive assessments should be conducted in combination with clinicians' experience and judgment. New frailty assessment tools are needed in future research to better guide the rehabilitation treatment and management of stroke patients.

Background:
in vitro culture of preantral follicles is a promising technology for fertility preservation.
Objectives:
This study aims to investigate an optimized three-dimensional (3D) fetal bovine serum (FBS)-free preantral follicle culture system having a simple and easy operation.
Methods:
The isolated follicles from mouse ovaries were randomly divided in an ultra-low attachment 96-well plates supplement with FBS or bovine serum albumin (BSA) culture or encapsulated with an alginate supplement with FBS or BSA culture. Meanwhile, estradiol (E 2 ) concentration was assessed through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of culture supernatants. The diameter of follicular growth was measured, and the lumen of the follicle was photographed. Spindle microtubules of oocytes were detected via immunofluorescence.The ability of oocytes to fertilize was assessed using in vitro fertilization.
Results:
The diameters were larger for the growing secondary follicles cultured in ultra-low attachment 96-well plates than in the alginate gel on days 6, 8, and 10 (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the E 2 concentration in the BSA-supplemented medium was significantly higher in the alginate gel than in the other three groups on days 6 and 8 (p < 0.05), and the oocytes in the FBS-free system could complete meiosis and fertilization in vitro.
Conclusions
The present study furnishes insights into the mature oocytes obtained from the 3D culture of the preantral follicle by using ultra-low attachment 96-well plate with an FBSfree system in vitro and supports the clinical practices to achieve competent, mature oocytes for in vitro fertilization.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the implementation of insulin centralized volume-based procurement policy (hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”) in our hospital and its effect on the use of insulin products in clinical. METHODS The manufacturer, specifications, usage, sales amount and agreed purchase volume of insulin products in our hospital before (July 4, 2021 to January 3, 2022) and after (July 4, 2022 to January 3, 2023) the centralized procurement were collected. The defined daily dose (DDD) method was used to calculate defined daily doses (DDDs), defined daily cost (DDC), the progress of procurement completion and actual cost saving. RESULTS After the centralized procurement, the number of insulin products had increased from 20 to 29 in our hospital; except for the Insulin degludec/aspart injection in our hospital’s original insulin catalog that had not been centrally purchased, all other existing varieties had been included in centralized procurement catalog. The use of Insulin aspart 30 injection produced by Novo Nordisk (China) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. always ranked the first place in the list of usage and DDDs before and after the centralized procurement. The sales amount of Insulin glargine injection produced by Ganli Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Tonghua Dongbao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. increased significantly due to the significant increase in usage. The centralized procurement of Degu insulin injection from Novo Nordisk (China) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. had achieved a relatively high completion rate in our hospital’s original insulin catalog, while the completion rate for new varieties was low. After the centralized procurement, our hospital actually saved a total of 1 388 582.66 yuan in expenses. CONCLUSIONS After the centralized procurement, the selection and usage of insulin varieties in our hospital are reasonable, which saves patients’ insulin treatment costs, and reduces economic pressure on patients and society.
