Social isolation, perceived social support, and type D personality among gastrointestinal cancer survivors in China: A mediating model analysis.

Objective: To explore the mediating effect of social isolation between perceived social support and type D personality in gastrointestinal cancer survivors based on the WHITE heuristic cognitive-behavioral model of emotion cognition theory.

Methods: The study utilized a convenience sampling method to recruit 183 survivors of gastrointestinal cancer who were undergoing chemoradiotherapy. SPSS 26.

Association of preoperative nutritional status with sarcopenia in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies assessed by GLIM criteria: a prospective cohort study.

Introduction: The Global Leadership Initiative in Malnutrition (GLIM) consensus highlights the importance of using the GLIM criteria as a standardized approach to diagnosing malnutrition, particularly in patients with cachexia. Although many existing studies have utilized the GLIM criteria to assess the association between malnutrition and malignant tumor patients, there remains relatively little research exploring the specific relationship between malnutrition and sarcopenia. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between malnutrition under the GLIM criteria and preoperative sarcopenia in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

Objectives: The objectives are to investigate the status of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) and to identify factors related to KAP towards breast and cervical cancer screening among rural Chinese women aged 40-65 years.

Design And Setting: This cross-sectional study was conducted from July to September 2020 in rural areas of eastern China.

Participants: This study involved 301 rural women aged 40-65 years.

Changes in BMI and waist circumference among primary and secondary school students from 2005 to 2010 in Anhui, China.

Aim: To examine the change in Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) among primary and secondary school students aged 7-18 in Anhui Province between 2005-2010.

Subjects And Methods: A total of 15 812 primary and secondary school students aged 7-18 were included in two national surveys on students' constitution and health in 2005 and 2010 in Anhui Province. Measurements of height, weight and WC were taken by trained investigators.

Cortisol reactivity, delay discounting and percent body fat in Chinese urban young adolescents.

The purpose of this study is to test the relation of cortisol reactivity, delay discounting and percent body fat (PBF) in adolescents aged 12-13 years (N=87), and evaluate the delay discounting as potential components in models of adolescent obesity. Anthropometry and body composition measurements were assessed in adolescents. The cortisol reactivity to Trier Social Stress Test for Children (TSST-C) and delay discounting were measured.

Effects of emotional symptoms and life stress on eating behaviors among adolescents.

The aim of this study was to explore possible effects of emotional symptoms (depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms) and life stress on eating behaviors (restrained, emotional and external eating behaviors) among junior and high school students in China. A total of 5473 students in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province were sampled to participate in this survey based on a clustering sampling approach. The survey collected sociodemographic data, emotional symptoms, life stress and eating behaviors of adolescents.

[Association between body mass index and physical fitness index among children and adolescents].

Objective: To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical fitness index (PFI) among children and adolescents.

Methods: The study sample included 8941 students aged 7 to 18 years in Anhui who attended the Physical Fitness and Health Surveillance program of Chinese School Students, in 2010. Within each sex- and age-specific group, students were classified into five BMI categories which were: very low, BMI<5th percentile; low, BMI≥5th but <15th percentiles; normal, BMI≥15th but <85th percentiles; high, BMI≥85th but <95th percentiles; and very high, BMI≥95th percentiles.

[Psychopathological sub-healthy status as predictor on self-or unintentional injuries among Chinese adolescents: a school-based follow-up study].

Objective: To investigate the association between psychological sub-healthy status and risks on injuries and related predictors among adolescents in China, in order to develop reasonable intervention programs.

Methods: Adolescents were selected from middle schools and colleges in eight cities. Baseline status on sub-healthy that related to psycho-pathology was measured using the Multidimensional Sub-health Questionnaire of Adolescents (MSQA).

[Relationship between waist circumference development curve of children and hypertension and risk of hypertension].

Objective: The 85th percentile of waist circumference (WC) is considered an appropriate cutoff for Chinese children in the prediction of cardiovascular risks in previous researches, but the risk for hypertension of moderate WC maybe underestimated. The purpose of this study was to understand the characteristics of the WC curve trajectory of children with hypertension and to determine the appropriate cutoffs for waist circumference for Chinese school-age children and adolescents for predicting hypertension risk factors.

Methods: A total of 8194 Han children aged 7 - 17 years were selected from schools in Suzhou, Hefei, and Chizhou cities in Anhui province by stratified cluster sampling.

[Association between self-assessed somatotypes and symptom depression among children and adolescents].

Objective: To examine the association between self-assessed somatotypes and depression related symptoms.

Methods: The study sample included 5555 students aged 9 to 18 years who had attended the Physical Fitness and Health Surveillance of Chinese School Students (2010) in Chizhou city, Anhui province. Association between self-assessed somatotypes, body mass index (BMI) and depression symptom were examined.

Plasma L-ENK, AVP, ANP and serum gastrin in patients with syndrome of Liver-Qi-stagnation.

AIM:To investigate the pathophysiologic basis of syndrome of Liver-Qi stagnation and parameters for clinical differentiation.METHODS:Plasma L-ENK, AVP, ANP and serum gastrin were determined by RIA in 84 patients with neurasthenia, mastodynia,chronic gastritis, and chronic cholecystitis presenting the same syndrome of Liver-Qi stagnation in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Healthy subjects served as controls in comparison with patients having the same syndrome but with different diseases.
