    BackgroundThis study aimed to report the prevalence of COVID-19 over-concern and its associated factors after the relaxation of the health-protective measures in China.MethodsA team of seven experts in psychiatry and psychology specializing in COVID-19 mental health research from China, Hong Kong, and overseas reached a consensus on the diagnostic criteria for COVID-19 over-concern. Individuals had to meet at least five of the following criteria: (1) at least five physical symptoms; (2) stocking up at least five items related to protecting oneself during the COVID-19 pandemic; (3) obsessive-compulsive symptoms related to the COVID-19 pandemic; (4) illness anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic; (5) post-traumatic stress symptoms; (6) depression; (7) anxiety; (8) stress and (9) insomnia. An online survey using snowball sampling collected data on demographics, medical history, views on COVID-19 policies, and symptoms of COVID-19 over-concern. Multivariate linear regression was performed using significant variables from the previous regressions as independent variables against the presence of COVID-19 over-concern as the dependent variable. Breush-Pagan test was used to assess each regression model for heteroskedasticity of residuals.Results1,332 respondents from 31 regions in China participated in the study for 2 weeks from December 25 to 27, 2022, after major changes in the zero-COVID policy. After canceling measures associated with the dynamic zero-COVID policy, 21.2% of respondents fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for COVID-19 over-concern. Factors significantly associated with COVID-19 over-concern were poor self-rated health status (β = 0.07, p ConclusionAfter removing measures associated with the dynamic zero-COVID policy in China, approximately one-fifth of respondents met the diagnostic criteria for COVID-19 over-concern.</p

    <p>Mice were housed in cages fitted with running wheels and allowed to exercise training for 4 weeks. 50/kg isoproterenol was injected intraperitoneal for 8 days either immediately after the training period (ER, n = 7) or 1 week (ER +1W SED, n = 7) or 2 weeks (ER +2Ws SED, n = 7) or 4 week after the training period (ER +4Ws SED, n = 7). Isoproterenol mice (ISO, n = 7) or control mice (con, n = 7) were housed in cages without running for the same durations as were the ER mice and then injected with ISO or vehicle control.
