The joint association of physical activity and sedentary behavior with health-related quality of life among children and adolescents in Mainland China.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the joint association of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among children in Mainland China.

Methods: Children were randomly recruited from primary, junior, and senior high schools (graders 4-12) in Nanjing municipality of China in this cross-sectional survey in 2018.

The relationship between health literacy and health-related quality of life among school-aged children in regional China.

Objectives: To examine the association between health literacy (HL) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among primary and high school students in Nanjing, China.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among randomly selected primary (graders 4-6), junior (graders 7-9) and senior (graders 10-12) high school students in 2018 in Nanjing Municipality of China. HRQoL, the outcome variable, was assessed with the validated Chinese version of Child Health Utility 9D (CHU9D) and used as continuous variable, while HL, our independent variable, was measured with the validated Chinese Students' Health literacy Assessment Scale and treated as categorical variable ("adequate" or "inadequate") in the analysis.

Additional value of auricular intradermal acupuncture alongside selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: a single-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled preliminary clinical study.

Background: To evaluate the antidepressant effects of auricular intradermal acupuncture (AIA) of areas innervated by both the auricular branch of the vagus nerve and the trigeminal nerve.

Methods: Forty-nine patients with depression were randomly allocated into an AIA group ( = 25) and a sham AIA group ( = 24). Both groups received selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as conventional treatment.
