Abstract
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has a high incidence due to the increased pressure of daily life and work in modern society. Our previous clinical studies have found the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on CFS patients, however, the mechanism of EA on CFS is still unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of EA on cardiac function in a CFS mouse model to explore its underlying mechanism. The mice were randomly divided into three groups: control, CFS, and CFS mice receiving EA (CFS + EA). After behavioral assessments and echocardiographic measurement, blood and heart tissue of the mice were collected for biochemical tests, and then we evaluated the effects of EA on the CFS mouse model when nitric oxide (NO) levels were enhanced by l-arginine. The results showed that EA ameliorated the injured motor and cardiac function. Meanwhile, EA also inhibited increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) at heart tissue and the serum NO levels in mice subjected to sustained forced swimming stress. Furthermore, the NO level in serum increased with l-arginine administration, which blocked the effects of EA on CFS mice. This study suggested that EA could improve the motor function and cardiac function in CFS mice and its effects may be associated with the down-regulation of iNOS/NO signaling.

Abstract
PURPOSE Understanding the enablers of and barriers to physical activity (PA) participation in people with fibromyalgia (PwF) is an essential first step to developing effective PA interventions. This systematic review examined correlates of PA across the socio-ecological model (i.e., intra-personal, inter-personal, environmental, and policy level) in PwF. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL were searched from inception until 12 July 2022. Keywords included "physical activity" or "exercise" and "fibromyalgia" or "fibrositis." Summary coding was used to quantify the PA correlates. RESULTS Out of 74 PA correlates retrieved from 39 articles (n = 9426), co-morbid depression and higher pain intensity were found to be consistent (i.e., reported in four or more articles) barriers to PA in PwF, while higher self-efficacy and better endurance were found to be consistent enablers to PA. Despite the abundance of evidence for the PA benefits for PwF, we only found consistent evidence for PA correlates at the intrapersonal level. CONCLUSIONS Health professionals should consider mental and physical health barriers when promoting PA in PwF. There remains a need to better understand social, environmental, and policy-related factors associated with PA participation in PwFImplications for rehabilitationCo-morbid depression is a notable barrier to physical activity participation in people with fibromyalgia.Experienced pain intensity should be considered as a barrier when promoting physical activity for people with fibromyalgia.Rehabilitation professionals should facilitate self-efficacy in physical activity interventions for people with fibromyalgia.Rehabilitation professionals should promote endurance when motivating people with fibromyalgia towards an active lifestyle.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is unclear how much physical activity (PA) people with fibromyalgia (PwF) engage in. We conducted a meta-analysis to examine PA levels in PwF and compared levels with age- and gender-matched controls and between objective and subjective assessments. METHODS Embase, PubMed and CINAHL Plus were searched by two independent reviewers from inception till 3 January 2023 using the keywords: 'fibromyalgia' OR 'fibrositis' AND 'physical activity' OR 'exercise' OR 'sports'. A random effects meta-analysis adjusting for publication bias was conducted. RESULTS Across 22 studies, there were 5997 (5956 women) PwF (median age = 44 years). After trim and fill adjustment, PwF spent a mean of 4.0 (95% CI = 2.3-5.8) min/day in vigorous PA, 67.5 (95% CI = 35.4-99.6) min/day in moderate intensity PA and 270.5 (95% CI = 99.6-441.4) min/day in light PA. Only 37.7% (95% CI = 18.7-61.5) of PwF achieved the public PA recommendation of 150 min of moderate to vigorous PA per week. PwF walked 5663.7 (95% CI = 4493.5-6833.9) steps per day, which is below the 6000 steps per day recommendation. PwF spent 39.0 min/day (95% CI = 22.8-55.1, p < 0.001) less in PA than healthy controls, while MET-minutes per week is 1324.7 (95 % CI = 237.6-2411.7, p = 0.017) lower. There were no significant differences between subjective and objective PA assessments (p = 0.69). CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that the majority of PwF are still insufficiently physically active to obtain significant health benefits. Future clinical PA interventions specifically targeting the prevention of physical inactivity in PwF and engaging physically inactive PwF to become physically active are warranted.

Abstract
Patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) often report disrupted and unrefreshing sleep in association with worsened fatigue symptoms. However, the nature and magnitude of sleep architecture alteration in ME/CFS is not known, with studies using objective sleep measures in ME/CFS generating contradictory results. The current manuscript aimed to review and meta-analyse of case-control studies with objective sleep measures in ME/CSF. A search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Medline, Google Scholar, and Psychoinfo databases. After review, 24 studies were included in the meta-analysis, including 20 studies with 801 adults (ME/CFS = 426; controls = 375), and 4 studies with 477 adolescents (ME/CFS = 242; controls = 235), who underwent objective measurement of sleep. Adult ME/CFS patients spend longer time in bed, longer sleep onset latency, longer awake time after sleep onset, reduced sleep efficiency, decreased stage 2 sleep, more Stage 3, and longer rapid eye movement sleep latency. However, adolescent ME/CFS patients had longer time in bed, longer total sleep time, longer sleep onset latency, and reduced sleep efficiency. The meta-analysis results demonstrate that sleep is altered in ME/CFS, with changes seeming to differ between adolescent and adults, and suggesting sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system alterations in ME/CFS.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the association between fatigue, kinesiophobia, disease severity, and physical inactivity by comparing fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients with healthy controls. Pain and fatigue are significant barriers to the participation in functional activities. Inactivity is a result of fatigue, but exercise is the foundation of FMS treatment. This case-control study included a total of 203 participants (107 patients with FMS and 96 healthy volunteers). The fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, the fatigue severity scale, the international physical activity questionnaire, and the Tampa scale for kinesiophobia were assessed. The FMS group scored significantly higher on the fatigue severity scale and kinesiophobia than the control group (p<0.001). Significantly lower metabolic task equivalent (MET) scale values were observed in the FMS group compared to the control group (p<0.001). The severity of fatigue and kinesiophobia correlated positively with the FMS impact questionnaire (p=0.001, r=0.621) and negatively with the MET scale (p=0.009, r= -0.287). Patients with FMS experience greater fatigue, kinesiophobia, and inactivity. As the severity of FMS worsens, so do disability, kinesiophobia, and fatigue. This study highlights the importance of breaking the cycle of fatigue and inactivity in the treatment of FMS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fibromyalgia involves chronic pain and disrupted physical activity and sleep. Research examining the relationship between pre-bedtime physical activity, pain, and objective sleep is limited. This study examined whether objectively measured physical activity levels (via actigraphy), pain intensity, or their interaction are associated with polysomnographic sleep outcomes. METHODS Adults with fibromyalgia and insomnia complaints (n = 134, mean age = 52 yrs, SD = 12 yrs, 94% female) completed 14 days of biaxial, wrist worn actigraphy, pain ratings, and a single night of polysomnography (PSG). Average activity for intervals 9:00-12:00, 12:00-15:00, 15:00-18:00, 18:00-21:00 was computed. Multiple regressions examined whether average activity, average evening pain, or their interaction were associated with PSG outcomes: sleep onset latency (SOL), wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep efficiency, %stage1, %stage2, %stage3, and %rapid eye movement. Analyses controlled for age, body mass index, average bedtime, time in bed, and sleep/pain medication use. RESULTS Greater morning actigraphic physical activity from 9:00 to 12:00 was independently associated with greater %stage 1 sleep (B = 0.01, SE = 0.00, p < .01). Greater afternoon activity from 12:00 to 15:00 independently predicted a higher WASO (p < .001). Associations between afternoon physical activity from 12:00 to 15:00 and greater %stage 1 (p < .001) were significant for at higher (~71/100), average (~52/100), but not lowest (~32/100) pain. CONCLUSION Greater morning and afternoon activity is associated with greater PSG sleep fragmentation and greater %stage 1 sleep in individuals with fibromyalgia and insomnia complaints, and the relationship between higher physical activity and greater %stage 1 is stronger for individuals with higher pain. Further studies examining causal pathways between physical activity, activity pacing, and sleep are warranted in fibromyalgia.

Abstract
Close contacts of those with COVID-19 (CC) may experience distress and long-lasting mental health effects. However, the mental health status and quality of life (QOL) in CC have not been adequately examined. This study examined the mental health status and QOL in CC during the post-COVID-19 period. This cross-sectional study comprised 1169 CC and 1290 who were non-close contacts (non-CC). Demographic data were collected; depression, fatigue, post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and QOL were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 items (PHQ-9), fatigue numeric rating scale, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist - 17 items (PCL-17), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire - brief version (WHOQOL-BREF), respectively. Analysis of covariance was used to compare depressive symptoms, QOL, fatigue, and PTSS between the CC and non-CC groups. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the independent correlates for depression, fatigue, PTSS, and QOL in the CC group. Compared to the non-CC group, the CC group reported significantly more severe depression (F(1, 2458) = 5.58, p = 0.018) and fatigue (F(1, 2458) = 9.22, p = 0.002) in the post-COVID-19 period. No significant differences in PTSS and QOL between the CC and non-CC groups were found (F(1, 2458) = 2.93, p = 0.087 for PTSS; F(1, 2458) = 3.45, p = 0.064 for QOL). In the CC group, younger age, financial loss due to COVID-19, and perception of poor or fair health status were significantly associated with depression and fatigue, while frequent use of mass media was significantly associated with fatigue. In conclusion, close contacts of COVID-19 patients experienced high levels of depression and fatigue in the post-COVID-19 period. Due to the negative effects of depression and fatigue on daily functioning, early detection and timely interventions should be provided to this neglected population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In treating highly infectious coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pneumonia, intensive care unit (ICU) nurses face a high risk of developing somatic symptom disorder (SSD).The symptom clusters in one population may show overlaps and involvements, a phenomenon that should be deliberately resolved to improve the management efficiency. OBJECTIVES The present study aims to investigate the symptoms and causes of SSD of ICU nurses treating COVID-19 pneumonia. The research results are expected to provide evidence for the establishment of a better management strategy. METHODS This study enrolled a total of 140 ICU nurses who were selected by Jiangsu Province Hospital to work in Wuhan (the epicenter of the COVID-19 epidemic in China) on February 3, 2020. A questionnaire, Somatic symptom disorders for ICU nurses in Wuhan No. 1 Hospital, was designed based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to cluster the symptoms and logistic regression analysis to find the risk factors of the symptoms. RESULTS Five major symptoms were chest discomfort and palpitation (31.4%), dyspnea (30.7%), nausea (21.4%), headache (19.3%), and dizziness (17.9%). In exploratory factor analysis, the symptoms were classified into three clusters: Cluster A of breathing and sleep disturbances (dizziness, sleepiness, and dyspnea); Cluster B of gastrointestinal complaints and pain (nausea and headache), and Cluster C of general symptoms (xerostomia, fatigue, as well as chest discomfort and palpitation). In Cluster A, urine/feces splash, sex, and sputum splash were independent predictive factors. In Cluster B, fall of protective glasses and urine/feces splash were independent predictive factors. In Cluster C, urine/feces splash and urine/feces clearance were independent predictive factors. CONCLUSION The ICU nurses in Wuhan showed varying and overlapping SSDs. These SSDs could be classified into three symptom clusters. Based on the characteristics of their SSDs, specific interventions could be implemented to safeguard the health of ICU nurses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic fatigue syndromemyalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is relatively common among children and adolescents; however, little is known about the physical activity levels and patterns of this population. The aim of this study was to examine the underlying patterns of physical activity among youth with mild-to-moderate CFS/ME. Cross-sectional associations between physical activity patterns with self-reported physical function, pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression were also examined. DESIGN Baseline cross-sectional data from the Managed Activity Graded Exercise iN Teenagers and pre-Adolescents randomised controlled trial. PATIENTS Children and adolescents (aged 8-17 years) diagnosed with mild-to-moderate CFS/ME who wore an accelerometer for at least three valid weekdays. ANALYSES Latent profile analysis was used to identify physical activity patterns. Linear regression models examined associations between physical activity classes and self-reported physical function, pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression. RESULTS 138 children and adolescents (72.5% females) had valid data. Overall, participants did less than half the government recommended level of physical activity for children and adolescents, but not all were inactive: three (2.2%) did more than 1 hour of physical activity every day, and 13 (9.4%) achieved an average of 60 min a day. Adolescents (≥12 years) were less active than younger children, but activity levels were similar between genders. Three latent classes emerged from the data: 'active', 'light' and 'inactive'. Compared with being 'inactive', being in the 'light' class was associated with greater self-reported physical function (10.35, 95% CI 2.32 to 18.38) and lower fatigue (-1.60, 95% CI -3.13 to -0.06), while being 'active' was associated with greater physical function (15.26, 95% CI 0.12 to 30.40), but also greater anxiety (13.79, 95% CI 1.73 to 25.85). CONCLUSIONS Paediatricians need to be aware that physical activity patterns vary widely before recommending treatment. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ISRCTN registry: 23 962 803.
