Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are proline-induced serine/threonine kinases that are primarily involved in the regulation of cell cycle, gene transcription, and cell differentiation. In general, CDKs are activated by binding to specific regulatory subunits of cell cycle proteins and are regulated by phosphorylation of specific T-loops by CDK activated kinases. In the CDKs family, cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) is a specialized member whose activity is triggered only by interaction with p35 and p39, which do not have the same sequence as the cell cycle proteins, and this may be one reason why CDK5 is distinguished from other CDK members by its structural and functional differences. In addition, unlike most CDK members that require phosphorylation at specific sites to function, CDK5 does not require such phosphorylation, and it can be activated simply by binding to p35 and p39. More notably, inhibitors that are commonly used to inhibit the activity of other CDK members have almost zero effect on CDK5. In contrast, CDK5, as a unique CDK family member, plays an important role in the development of numerous diseases. In metabolic diseases, elevated CDK5 expression leads to decreased insulin secretion, increased foam cell formation and triggers decreased bone mass in the body, thus accelerating metabolic diseases, and the role of CDK5 in bone biology is gradually gaining attention, and the role of CDK5 in bone metabolic diseases may become a hotspot for research in the future; in neurodegenerative diseases, hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein is an important hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease development, and changes in CDK5 expression are associated with Tau protein phosphorylation and nerve death, indicating that CDK5 is highly related to the development of the nervous system; in tumor diseases, the role of CDK5 in the proliferation, differentiation and migration and invasion of tumor cells marks the development of tumorigenesis, but different researchers hold different views, and further studies are needed in the follow-up. Therefore, the study of its mechanism of action in diseases can help to reveal the pathogenesis and pathological process of diseases. Appropriate exercise not only helps in the prevention of diseases, but also plays a positive role in the treatment of diseases. Exercise-induced mechanical stress can improve bone microstructure and increase bone mass in osteoporosis patients. In addition, exercise can effectively inhibit neuronal apoptosis and improve mitochondrial dysfunction, more importantly, appropriate exercise can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells to a certain extent. It can be seen that exercise occupies a pivotal position in the prevention and treatment of pathologic diseases. It has been shown that exercise can reduce the expression of CDK5 and affect the pathological process of neurological diseases. Currently, there is a dearth of research on the specific mechanisms of CDK5’s role in improving disease outcomes through exercise. In order to understand its effects more comprehensively, subsequent studies need to employ diverse exercise modalities, targeting patients with various types of diseases or corresponding animal models for in-depth exploration. This article focuses on the pathological functions of CDK5 and its relationship with exercise, with a view to providing new insights into the prevention and treatment of disease by CDK5.

Osteosarcopenia (OS) is a multifactorial, multiaetiologic degenerative metabolic syndrome in which sarcopenia coexists with osteoporosis, and its influences are related to aging-induced mechanics, genetics, inflammatory factors, endocrine disorders, and irregular lifestyles. With the accelerated aging process in our country, osteosarcopenia has become a public health problem that cannot be ignored, with a higher risk of falls, fractures, impaired mobility and death. In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have conducted a lot of research on osteosarcopenia, but their pathogenesis is still unclear. Understanding the signaling pathways associated with osteosarcopenia is of great significance for further research on the pathogenesis of these disorders and for finding new targets for treatment. Studies have shown that activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway promotes osteoblast differentiation as well as skeletal muscle regeneration, indicating that inhibition of thePI3K/Akt signaling pathway is closely related to the development of osteosarcopenia. Muscle factor-mechanical stress interactions can maintain osteoblast viability by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting that Wnt signaling is important in muscle and bone crosstalk. The Notch signaling pathway also plays an important role in improving bone and muscle mass and function, but different researchers hold different views, which need to be further validated and refined in subsequent studies. Exercise, as an existing non-pharmacological treatment with strong and sustained effects on physical function and muscle strength, also significantly increases bone density in osteoporosis patients, which may be mainly due to the fact that exercise induces changes in the form and function of bones, in the form of muscular pulling and indirectly improves the bone mass, and changes in the bone strength can also change the number, shape as well as the function of the muscles. At the same time, the mechanism of different exercise modalities focuses on different aspects, and there are differences in exercise time, exercise intensity, and therapeutic effects in the implementation of interventions. Aerobic exercise can improve the quality of skeletal muscle and increase the expression of osteogenesis-related genes by stimulating mitochondrial biosynthesis, as well as improve the quality and strength of bones and muscles through the Wnt/β- catenin and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, effectively preventing and controlling the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders. High-intensity resistance exercise has a significant effect on improving the quality of muscles and bone mineral density, but older people with osteosarcopenia suffer from a decline in muscle quality and strength, and a decline in bone mineral density, which makes them very susceptible to fracture, so they should select the intensity of the training in a gradual and orderly manner, from small to large. What kind of exercise intensity and exercise modalities are most effective in improving the occurrence and development of osteosarcopenia needs to be further investigated. Therefore, this paper mainly reviews the epidemiology of osteosarcopenia, diagnostic criteria, the related signaling pathways (PI3K/Akt pathway, Wnt/β-catenin pathway, Notch pathway, NF-κB pathway) that jointly regulate the metabolic process of myocytes and skeletal cells, as well as the interventional effects of different exercise modes on osteosarcopenia, with the aim of providing theoretical bases for the clinical treatment of osteosarcopenia, as well as enhancing the preventive capacity of the disease in old age.

Osteoporosis leads to an imbalance in bone remodelling, where bone resorption is greater than bone formation and osteoclast degradation increases, resulting in severe bone loss. Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway that regulates the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of various bone cells (including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteoclasts), and is deeply involved in the bone remodelling process. In recent years, the role of autophagy in the progression of osteoporosis and related bone metabolic diseases has received more and more attention, and it has become a research hotspot in this field. Summarising the existing studies, it is found that senile osteoporosis is the result of a combination of factors. On the one hand, it is the imbalance of bone remodelling and the increase of bone resorption/bone formation ratio with ageing, which causes progressive bone loss. On the other hand, aging leads to a general decrease in the level of autophagy, a decrease in the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and an inhibition of osteogenic differentiation. The lack of oestrogen leads to the immune system being in a low activation state, and the antioxidant capacity is weakened and inflammatory response is increased, inducing autophagy-related proteins to participate in the transmission of inflammatory signals, excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the skeleton, and negatively regulating bone formation. In addition, with aging and the occurrence of related diseases, glucocorticoid treatments also mediate autophagy in bone tissue cells, contributing to the decline in bone strength. Exercise, as an effective means of combating osteoporosis, improves bone biomechanical properties and increases bone density. It has been found that exercise induces oxidative stress, energy imbalance, protein defolding and increased intracellular calcium ions in the organism, which in turn activates autophagy. In bone, exercise of different intensities activates messengers such as ROS, PI3K, and AMP. These messengers signal downstream cascades, which in turn induce autophagy to restore dynamic homeostasis in vivo. During exercise, increased production of AMP, PI3K, and ROS activate their downstream effectors, AMPK, Akt, and p38MAPK, respectively, and these molecules in turn lead to activation of the autophagy pathway. Activation of AMPK inhibits mTOR activity and phosphorylates ULK1 at different sites, inducing autophagy. AMPK and p38 up-regulate per-PGC-1α activity and activate transcription factors in the nucleus, resulting in increased autophagy and lysosomal genes. Together, they activate FoxOs, whose transcriptional activity controls cellular processes including autophagy and can act on autophagy key proteins, while FoxOs proteins are expressed in osteoblasts. Exercise also regulates the expression of mTORC1, FoxO1, and PGC-1 through the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway, which ultimately plays a role in the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts and regulates bone metabolism. In addition, BMPs signaling pathway and long chain non-coding RNAs also play a role in the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and autophagy process under exercise stimulation. Therefore, exercise may become a new molecular regulatory mechanism to improve osteoporosis through the bone autophagy pathway, but the specific mechanism needs to be further investigated. How exercise affects bone autophagy and thus prevents and treats bone-related diseases will become a future research hotspot in the fields of biology, sports medicine and sports science, and it is believed that future studies will further reveal its mechanism and provide new theoretical basis and ideas.

Objective: To explore the prevalence and related factors of overweight, obesity and hypertension comorbidities among children and adolescents in Ningxia, so as to provide a scientific basis for effective early health intervention in children and adolescents. Methods: From September 2021 to June 2022, a total of 4 577 students aged 9-16 were selected from Jinfeng District of Yinchuan City, Shapotou District of Zhongwei City, Yanchi County of Wuzhong City and Pingluo County of Shizuishan City in Ningxia by multi stage cluster random sampling method for questionnaire survey and physical measurement. The influencing factors of overweight, obesity and hypertension comorbidities in children and adolescents were investigated by Chi square test and multivariate unconditioned Logistic regression analysis with weighted complex sampling design. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Ningxia was 22.87%, the prevalence of hypertension was 1.30%, and the comorbity rate of overweight, obesity and hypertension was 1.07%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that students aged 13-16 ( OR =15.66,95% CI =3.84-63.96, P <0.05) were more likely to suffer from overweight, obesity and hypertension than students aged 9-12. The students of insufficient sleep duration ( OR =5.47, 95% CI =1.73-17.33, P <0.05) had higher levels of overweight, obesity and hypertension comorbidities than those of adequate sleep duration. Students who had breakfast 1 to 7 times a week ( OR =0.08, 95% CI =0.02-0.37) had lower incidence than those who had breakfast once a week ( P <0.05). Conclusions Age, sleep time and breakfast frequency are all related factors of overweight, obesity and hypertension co morbidity among primary and secondary school students in Ningxia. Close attention should be paid to students aged 9-12 years with insufficient sleep time and fasting in the morning, and carry out scientific education and prevention and control interventions should be carried out.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Aim To explore the inhibitory effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction on the inflammatory response in the hippocampus of brain tissues of CIRI rats by regulating SIRT1 and the underlying mechanism. Methods The middle cerebral artery embolization (MCAO) model was prepared in rats and divided into sham operation group (Sham), model group (MCAO/R), Buyang Huanwu Decoction group (BYHWT),and BYHWT + SIRT1 inhibitor group (BYHWT + EX527). Zea Longa was used to detect the neurological function score of rats in each group; TTC staining was used to determine the volume of cerebral infarction; HE staining was used to observe the pathological damage of the hippocampus; Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of SIRT1 and IL-6; immunohistochemistry was used to detect TNF-α, IL-1β expression level. Results Compared with the sham group,the neurological function score of the MCAO/R group increased (P < 0.05); the volume of cerebral infarction increased (P < 0.05); the nerve cells in hippocampus were severely damaged, arranged disorderly, and the nucleus was broken; Western blot showed that the expression of SIRT1 decreased, IL-6 expression increased (P <0.05); immunohistochemistry showed that TNF-α,IL-1β expression increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the MCAO/R group, the neurological function score of the BYHWT group decreased (P <0.05); the volume of cerebral infarction decreased (P < 0.05); the damage of nerve cells in hippocampus was reduced; Western blot showed that the expression of SIRT1 increased and IL-6 expression decreased (P < 0.05); immunohistochemistry showed that TNF-α, IL-1β expression decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with the BYHWT group, the neurological function score of the BYHWT + EX527 group increased (P < 0.05); the volume of cerebral infarction was raised (P <0.05); the damage of nerve cells in hippocampus was aggravated; Western blot showed that the expression of SIRT1 decreased and IL-6 expression increased (P < 0.05); immunohistochemistry showed that TNF-α, IL-1β expression increased (P < 0.05). Conclusions Preliminary discussion of Buyang Huanwu Decoction can activate SIRT1 in hippocampus of rat brain tissues to reduce the inflammatory response after CIRI and play a role in brain protection.

Background: and Purpose Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is common in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Early recognition OH is required with sensitive assessments. The purpose of this study was to determine whether blood pressure (BP) changes during exercise can predict the occurrence of OH in PD. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 consecutive patients with PD. All patients agreed to participate in a baseline evaluation and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET).According to the initial active standing test (AST), those without OH (PD-nonOH) at baseline had their AST results followed up for 6 months. The main outcome was defined as whether patients without OH at baseline would develop OH after 6 months. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the relevant variables. A nomogram was constructed based on clinical features and identified variables. The concordance index (C-index) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the accuracy and predictive ability of the nomogram, respectively. Results: CPET results indicated that peak load, peak heart rate, heart rate recovery at 1 min, and systolic BP change (ΔSBP) were lower in those with OH than in the PD-nonOH group (p<0.05) at baseline. Logistic regression analysis indicated that peak load and ΔSBP during CPET had significant effects on OH (p<0.05). Age, sex, peak load, and ΔSBP were used to construct the nomogram model (C-index=0.761). The prediction model had an AUC of 0.782 (95% confidence interval=0.649–0.889) and a specificity and sensitivity of 70.0% and 81.8%, respectively. Conclusions This study has identified predictive factors for OH development in patients with PD. CPET could be used as a complementary examination to identify patients at a high risk of OH.

Objective: Retrospective analysis of the efficacy and influencing factors of bladder preservation integrated therapy for unresectable invasive bladder cancer confined to the pelvis was done, also including the bladder function preservation and adverse effects analysis. Methods: Sixty-nine patients with unresectable locally invasive bladder cancer who received radiotherapy-based combination therapy from March 1999 to December 2021 at our hospital were selected. Among them, 42 patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, 32 underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapyand 43 with transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) prior to radiotherapy. The late adverse effect of radiotherapy, preservation of bladder function, replase and metastasis and survival were followed-up. Cox proportional hazards models were applied for the multifactorial analysis. Results: The median age was 69 years. There were 63 cases (91.3%) of uroepithelial carcinoma, 64 of stage Ⅲ and 4 of stage Ⅳ. The median duration of follow-up was 76 months. There were 7 grade 2 late genito urinary toxicities, 2 grade 2 gastrointestinal toxicities, no grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred. All patients maintained normal bladder function, except for 8 cases who lost bladder function due to uncontrolled tumor in the bladder. Seventeen cases recurred locally. There were 11 cases in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a local recurrence rate of 26.2% (11/42) and 6 cases in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a local recurrence rate of 22.2% (6/27), and the difference in local recurrence rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.709). There were 23 cases of distant metastasis (including 2 cases of local recurrence with distant metastasis), including 10 cases in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a distant metastasis rate of 23.8% (10/42) and 13 cases in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group with a distant metastasis rate of 48.1% (13/27), and the distant metastasis rate in the non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group was higher than that in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (P=0.036). The median 5-year overall survival (OS) time was 59 months and the OS rate was 47.8%. The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) time was 20 months and the PFS rate was 34.4%. The 5-year OS rates of concurrent and non-concurrent chemoradiotherapy group were 62.9% and 27.6% (P<0.001), and 5-year PFS rates were 45.4% and 20.0%, respectively (P=0.022). The 5-year OS rates of with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy were 78.4% and 30.1% (P=0.002), and the 5-year PFS rates were 49.1% and 25.1% (P=0.087), respectively. The 5-year OS rates with or without TURBT before radiotherapy were 45.5% and 51.9% (P=0.233) and the 5-year PFS rates were 30.8% and 39.9% (P=0.198), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that the clinical stage (HR=0.422, 95% CI: 0.205-0.869) was independent prognostic factor for PFS of invasive bladder cancer. The multivariate analysis showed that clinical stages (HR=0.278, 95% CI: 0.114-0.678), concurrent chemoradiotherapy (HR=0.391, 95% CI: 0.165-0.930), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.188, 95% CI: 0.058-0.611), and recurrences (HR=10.855, 95% CI: 3.655-32.638) were independent prognostic factors for OS of invasive bladder cancer. Conclusion: Unresectable localized invasive bladder cancer can achieve satisfactory long-term outcomes with bladder-preserving combination therapy based on radiotherapy, most patients can retain normal bladder function with acceptable late adverse effects and improved survival particularly evident in patients with early, concurrent chemoradiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective: To analyze the long-term trend of the age of spermarche among Chinese Han boys aged 11 to 18 from 2010 to 2019 and its association with nutritional status. Methods: The data from Chinese National Surveys on Students' Constitution and Health in 2010, 2014 and 2019 were used. The age, residence and spermarche of the participants were collected by questionnaire, and their height and weight were measured. A total of 184 633 Han boys aged 11‒18 years with complete data on spermarche, height, and weight were included in this study. The probability regression method was used to calculate the median age (95%CI) at spermarche in different areas, and the trend of age at spermarche in different groups was compared. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between nutritional status and spermarche of Chinese Han boys aged 11‒18 years. Results: The median age of spermarche (95%CI) was 13.85 (13.45-14.22) years old among Chinese Han boys aged 11‒18 years in 2019, with 0.18 years earlier than that in 2010. The median age at spermarche in urban and rural boys was 13.89 and 13.81 years, respectively. Compared with that in 2010, the age at spermarche in urban and rural boys was 0.08 and 0.27 years earlier, respectively. After adjusting for age, province and urban/rural areas, compared with normal weight, spermarche was negatively associated with wasting and positively associated with overweight and obesity, with OR (95%CI) about 0.73 (0.67-0.80), 1.09 (1.02-1.17) and 1.09 (1.01-1.18), respectively. Conclusion: The age of spermarche generally shows an advanced trend among Chinese Han boys and is associated with nutritional status.
