ABSTRACT Introduction The college sports environment is characterized by breadth, diversity, and personality. This is an important period to develop students’ physical ability and improve their personality. Objective Compare the effects of different exercise methods on students’ health status. Methods 2991 college students participated in different sports activities. These sports were conducted based on the selection course (PE), all during one semester. The students’ physical health status was observed through experiments performed before and after the intervention. Results Activities such as basketball and soccer showed high effectiveness in improving students’ vital capacity index, volleyball expressively improved students’ performance in the long jump, tennis and table tennis were effective in improving students’ strength and adherence index, being lower in other indices. Martial arts also stood out in improving the students’ vital capacity index. Conclusion Improving physical health should be an overall process of students’ fitness development, and universities should actively encourage college students to participate in long-term sports to improve their health. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

RESUMO Introdução O ambiente do esporte universitário é caracterizado pela abrangência, diversidade e personalidade. Este é um período importante para desenvolver a capacidade física dos estudantes e melhorar a sua personalidade. Objetivo Comparar os efeitos de diferentes métodos de exercício sobre o estado de saúde dos estudantes. Métodos 2991 estudantes universitários participaram de diferentes atividades esportivas. Estes esportes foram conduzidos com base no curso de seleção (PE), todos durante um semestre. O estado de saúde física dos estudantes foi observado através de experimentos executados previa e posteriormente à intervenção. Resultados Atividades como basquetebol e futebol demonstraram alta efetividade para melhorar o índice de capacidade vital dos estudantes, voleibol melhorou expressivamente o desempenho dos alunos no salto em distância, o tênis e o tênis de mesa foram efetivos para aprimorar o índice de força e de adesão dos alunos, sendo inferior noutros índices. Também as artes marciais se destacaram ao melhorar o índice de capacidade vital dos alunos. Conclusão O aprimoramento da saúde física deve ser um processo global de desenvolvimento da aptidão física dos estudantes e as universidades devem encorajar ativamente os estudantes universitários a participar de esportes de longo prazo para melhorar sua saúde. Nível de evidência II; Estudos terapêuticos - investigação dos resultados do tratamento.

Abstract Background: Familial progressive hyper- and hypopigmentation (FPHH) is a rare genodermatosis that is characterized by diffuse hyper- and hypopigmented spots on the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by a pathogenic mutation of the KITLG gene. Objectives: To investigate the clinical features and mutation of the KITLG gene in a Chinese family with FPHH. Methods: Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of lesions from the proband was performed. The KITLG gene was screened for the presence of mutations. Results: A Chinese family containing 14 individuals with FPHH was described, and the proband was a 5-year-old girl showing diffuse hyper- and hypopigmented lesions on her extremities and trunk. Histopathological and immunohistochemical staining for S100 and HMB45 of skin biopsy specimens from the hyperpigmented areas showed a striking increase in melanin throughout the epidermis, especially in the basal cell layer, and staining of hypopigmented area specimens displayed lower levels of melanin in the epidermis. Mutation analysis of the KITLG gene was performed, but no mutation was found. Study limitations: The new pathogenic gene was not found. Conclusion: A family with FPHH was described. Analysis revealed that its members did not have any mutations of the KITLG gene, which provided evidence for genetic heterogeneity of this genodermatosis.

Objective: The aim of the study is to examine the distribution of integrated covariate and its association with blood pressure (BP) among children in Anhui province, China, and assess the predictive value of integrated covariate to children hypertension. Methods: A total of 2,828 subjects (1,588 male and 1,240 female) aged 7-17 years participated in this study. Height, weight, waistline, hipline and BP of all subjects were measured, obesity and overweight were defined by an international standard, specifying the measurement, the reference population, and the age and sex specific cut off points. High BP status was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) > 95th percentile for age and gender. Results: Our results revealed that the prevalence of children hypertension was 11.03%, the SBP and DBP of obesity group were significantly higher than that of normal group. Anthropometric obesity indices such as body mass index (BMI) were positively correlated with SBP and DBP. Integrated covariate had a better performance than the single covariate in the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the cut-off value; the sensitivity and the specificity of the integrated covariate were 0.112, 0.577, 0.683, respectively. Conclusion: Integrated covariate is a simple and effective anthropometric index to identify childhood hypertension.

Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio es examinar la distribución de las covariables integrado y su asociación con la presión arterial (PA) entre los niños en la provincia de Anhui, China, y evaluar el valor predictivo de covariables integrado a los niños la hipertensión. Métodos: Un total de 2.828 sujetos (1.588 macho y 1.240 hembra) de 7 a 17 años participaron en este estudio. Altura, peso, cintura, hipline y BP de todos los sujetos fueron medidos, la obesidad y el sobrepeso se han definido por una norma internacional, especificando la medición, la población de referencia, y la edad y sexo los puntos de corte. La condición de alta presión se define como la presión arterial sistólica (PAS) y/o presión arterial diastólica (PAD) > percentil para edad y sexo. Resultados: Nuestros resultados revelan que la prevalencia de niños la hipertensión fue 11,03%, el SBP y DBP de obesidad grupo fueron significativamente más alta que la de grupo normal. Los índices de obesidad, tales como el índice de masa corporal (IMC) se correlacionaron positivamente con SBP y DBP. Integrated covariable tuvo un mejor rendimiento que la covariable en la curva de características operativas del receptor (ROC), el valor de corte, la sensibilidad y la especificidad de las covariables fueron integrados 0,112, 0,577,0,683, respectivamente. Conclusión: Integrado covariable es un simple y eficaz para identificar a la niñez índice antropométrico hipertensión.
