Objective: This study seeks to explore the role of children's fundamental movement skills(FMS) within the framework of 24-h Movement Behaviors and executive function(EF)through the application of structural equation modeling (SEM).

Methods: The study employs a cross-sectional design. Apart from sleep data, which was collected via questionnaires, all other data were objectively measured using ActiGraph wGT3-BT accelerometers.

Research on how an active lifestyle impacts the social functions of neurodiverse children, particularly within the context of twenty-four-hour (24 h) movement behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sedentary behaviors, sleep), has been emerging but has yet to receive a systematic synthesis.

Objective: Evidence suggests that acute exercise is an effective way for improving inhibition control, however, the effect of different types of Acute Aerobic Exercise and Inhibitory Control (IC) remains unclear.

Method: Using a crossover design, 25 participants (M = 20.20year, SD=0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the physical activity home environment influences fundamental movement skills (FMS) in preschool children in China, focusing on the role of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and gender differences.
  • A sample of 169 preschool children was analyzed using various assessments for physical activity levels, home environment, and movement skills, revealing that boys generally had higher MVPA and better FMS than girls.
  • Results indicated that MVPA positively correlates with parenting style and physical activity environment and serves as a mediator in the relationship between these factors and the development of FMS in preschoolers.

Background: Limited research has explored the relationship between adhering to 24-h Movement Behaviour guidelines and mental health in Chinese preschool children. The objectives of this study encompassed two primary goals: (1) to investigate the adherence of preschool children in China to the 24-h Movement Behaviour guidelines; and (2) to analyze the relationship between fulfilling various combinations of these guidelines and mental health, identifying the most advantageous combination.

Methods: Utilizing a convenience sampling approach, this study included 205 preschool children (117 boys and 88 girls, average age 4.

The 24-h movement behavior of preschoolers comprises a spectrum of activities, including moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), screen-based sedentary behavior (SCSB), non-screen-based sedentary behavior (NSCSB), and sleep. While previous research has shed light on the link between movement behaviors and children's mental health, the specific impacts on the unique demographic of Chinese preschoolers remain underexplored. This study significantly contributes to the literature by exploring how 24-h movement behavior affects the mental health of preschoolers in a Chinese context.

Eight previously undescribed diterpenoids, along with eleven previously reported analogues, were obtained from the supercritical CO extracts of Torreya grandis aril. The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on HRESIMS, NMR, ECD, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In the MTT assay, compound 18 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on two human colon cancer cell lines, HT-29 and HCT 116 cells, with IC values of 7.

Background: In China, Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) has been used as an adjuvant therapy to treat all kinds of cancer for many years. A large number of systematic reviews or meta-analyses (SRs/MAs) were published to assess its efficacy and safety in the past few years. However, the quality of SRs/MAs was unclear and did not generate high-quality clinical evidence.

Overexpression of the hypoxia-induced transmembrane enzyme carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) has been associated with poor prognosis and chemoresistance in aggressive breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of CA9 in the anti-tumor activity of para-toluenesulfonamide (PTS) and elucidate its mechanism of action against breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were treated with PTS or subjected to hypoxic conditions using cobalt chloride (CoCl), with acetazolamide serving as a positive control.

Background: Ankle distraction arthroplasty and supramalleolar osteotomy were both options for post-traumatic varus ankle arthritis (VAA), but their comparative effectiveness was scarcely reported. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of two operative methods for treatment of Takakura-Tanaka stage 3 post-traumatic VAA.

Methods: This was a retrospective study, comprising 73 consecutive patients who presented with Takakura-Tanaka stage 3 post-traumatic VAA treated by either ankle distraction arthroplasty (n = 32) or supramalleolar osteotomy (n = 41) from January 2016 to December 2019.

Compared to water-soluble carbon dots (CDs) the properties and applications of hydrophobic CDs are rarely addressed. In this study, a one-pot, simple chemical oxidation approach has been applied to synthesize hydrophobic carbon dots (TO-CDs) at room temperature from triolein (TO) in concentrated sulfuric acid solution. Sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) quenches the fluorescence of TO-CDs by a photoinduced electron transfer process.
