ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Sini San （SNS） inhibits ferroptosis， alleviates inflammation and myocardial injury， and improves myocardial infarction （MI）. MethodsThe active ingredients of SNS were obtained by searching the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Platform （TCMSP） database， its target sites were predicted using the SwissTargetPrediction Database， and the core components were screened out using the CytoNCA plug-in. The targets of MI and ferroptosis were obtained by using GeneCards， Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM） database， DrugBank， Therapeutic Target Database （TTD）， FerrDb database and literature review， respectively. The intersection of these targets of SNS-MI-ferroptosis was plotted as a Venn diagram. The protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed using the STRING database， and the visualization graph was prepared using Cytoscape. The core targets were screened out using the CytoNCA plug-in， and the biological functions were clustered by the MCODE plug-in. Gene Ontology （GO） functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis were performed using the David database. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock and visualized with PyMOL2.5.2. The Kunming mice were randomly divided into the control group， the model group， the SNS group， and the trimetazidine （TMZ） group. The mice were subcutaneously injected with isoprenaline （ISO， 5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） to establish an MI model. The drug was continuously intervened for 7 days. The ST-segment changes were recorded by electrocardiogram （ECG）， and the tissue morphology changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Cardiomyocyte ferroptosis was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Serum creatine kinase （CK）， creatine kinase isoenzyme （CK-MB）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， reduced glutathione （GSH）， and malondialdehyde （MDA） levels were detected by biochemical assay. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect serum levels of interleukin （IL）-6 and 4-hydroxynonenal （4-HNE）. Immunohistochemical staining was employed to detect IL-6 and phosphorylated signal transducer and transcription activator 3 （p-STAT3） in cardiac tissues. Western blot was used to detect STAT3 and p-STAT3 in cardiac tissues. Real-time PCR was used to detect the levels of IL-6， IL-18， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase （ALOX15）， and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPx4） in cardiac tissues. ResultsA total of 121 active ingredients of SNS were obtained， and 58 potential targets of SNS in the treatment of MI by regulating ferroptosis were screened. The three protein modules with a score5 were mainly related to the inflammatory response. The GO function was mainly related to inflammation， and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that SNS mainly regulated ferroptosis- and inflammation- related signaling pathways. Molecular docking indicated that the core component had a higher binding force to the target site. Animal experiments confirmed that SNS reduced the level of p-STAT3 （P0.01）， down-regulated the expression of ALOX15 mRNA （P0.01）， up-regulated the level of serum GSH， and the expressions of SLC7A11 and GPx4 mRNA， reduced MDA and 4-HNE levels （P0.05， P0.01）. Additionally， SNS improved the mitochondrial injury induced by cardiomyocyte ferroptosis， reduced the area of MI， alleviated inflammation and myocardial injury， lowered the levels of serum CK， CK-MB， LDH， IL-6， and the mRNA expression levels of IL-16 and IL-18 （P0.05）， and improved ST segment elevation. ConclusionSNS can reduce ISO-induced STAT3 phosphorylation levels， inhibit ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes， alleviate inflammation and myocardial injury， thereby improving MI.

AIM:To analyze the association between mobile phone addiction and high myopia among college students.METHODS:We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey in December 2022 on all students of a university in Shaanxi Province, and the questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics, mobile phone addiction, high myopia, and lifestyle. Binary Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between mobile phone addiction and high myopia among college students.RESULTS:A total of 19 952 college students were included. The prevalence of high myopia was 7.31%. The rate of mobile phone addiction was 25.68%, and the mobile phone addiction score was 37.59±13.38. The incidence of high myopia among college students with mobile phone addiction was higher than non-mobile phone addiction(P<0.001). After adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and lifestyle, the risk of high myopia among college students with mobile phone addiction was 1.274 times(95%CI:1.131-1.434)higher than non-mobile phone addiction. For each point increase of total mobile phone addiction score, withdrawal symptoms score, salience score, social comfort score, and mood changes score, the risk of high myopia among college students increased by 0.9%(95%CI:1.005-1.013), 2.0%(95%CI:1.010-1.030), 2.6%(95%CI:1.010-1.043), 4.8%(95%CI:1.030-1.066), and 3.3%(95%CI:1.014-1.052), respectively.CONCLUSION:Mobile phone addiction is significantly associated with the increased risk of high myopia among college students, and early intervention of mobile phone use may reduce the risk of high myopia among college students.

To systematically review randomized controlled trials （RCTs） of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） intervention in ulcerative colitis （UC）， and analyze the characteristics of these studies and their outcome indicators， thereby providing references for the design of future RCTs of TCM intervention in UC and offering evidence supporting the clinical application of TCM in UC. A computerized search was conducted in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， VIP， SinoMed， PubMed， Cochrane Library， EMbase， and Web of Science databases for RCTs of TCM intervention in UC published from January 2021 to August 2024. The risk of bias was assessed， and outcome indicators were qualitatively analyzed. A total of 555 RCTs were included， with a sample size of 44 853 participants. The largest sample size was 218 cases， and the smallest was 28 cases， with most studies focusing on 60-100 participants. Of the 386 RCTs that explicitly reported TCM syndrome types， the top three were large intestine dampness-heat syndrome （31.05%）， spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome （12.47%）， and spleen deficiency with dampness syndrome （9.17%）. The interventions， ranked by frequency of use， included internal Chinese medicine compounds/preparations （64.5%）， Chinese medicine compounds/preparations with retained enema （18.2%）， internal Chinese medicine compounds/preparations + external TCM treatment （5.95%）， and external TCM treatment alone （4.86%）. The treatment duration was mainly 4-8 weeks （64.86%）， with 61 studies （10.99%） reporting follow-up time. A total of 157 outcome indicators were used， with a frequency of 3 460 occurrences， classified into six domains： TCM syndromes and symptoms （346 occurrences， 10%）， symptoms/signs （541 occurrences， 15.64%）， physical and chemical examinations （2 119 occurrences， 61.24%）， quality of life （107 occurrences， 3.09%）， long-term prognosis （61 occurrences， 1.76%）， and safety events （284 occurrences， 8.21%）. The analysis reveals several limitations in the outcome indicators of TCM intervention in UC， including the lack of a basis for sample size calculation， non-standardized TCM syndrome classification， absence of trial design and registration， inadequate blinding and allocation concealment， adherence issues with interventions， imbalanced selection of surrogate and endpoint indicators， inconsistency in the timing of outcome measurements， design issues that require standardization， and ethical and safety concerns. It is recommended that future studies actively construct a set of core indicators for UC that include standardized TCM syndrome classification， clear efficacy evaluation indicators， key endpoint indicators， and reasonable measurement time points. Long-term prognostic impacts， comprehensive assessments of patients' quality of life， and consideration of economic benefits should be emphasized， providing a basis for the clinical practice of TCM in the treatment of UC.

Objective:To investigate the effect of oral administration of vitamin D3 on intestinal barrier function in patients after gastric cancer surgery,and to provide a reference for perioperative nutritional therapy in patients with gastric cancer.Methods:The conve-nience sampling method was used to select 80 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in a grade A tertiary hospital in Xiamen,China,from June 2021 to May 2023,and the patients were divided into intervention group and control group using a random number table.The patients in the intervention group were given oral administration of vitamin D3 800 IU/d for 14 consecutive days before surgery.ELISA was used to measure the serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3[25(OH)D3],intestinal barrier indicators(D-lactate,Zonulin),and inflammatory indicators(C-reactive protein,interleukin-6)within 24 hours after admis-sion and on days 1,4,and 7 after surgery,and the changes in these indicators were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 71 patients were enrolled finally,with 34 in the intervention group and 37 in the control group.On days 1,4,and 7 after surgery,the intervention group had a significantly lower level of D-lactate than the control group(F=3.978,P=0.026;F=9.649,P=0.005;F=4.389,P=0.021).On day 4 after surgery,the intervention group had a significantly lower level of Zonulin than the control group(F=3.198,P=0.035).Conclusion:Oral administration of vitamin D3 before surgery may accelerate the recovery of intestinal barrier function in pa-tients with gastric cancer.

Objective: To analyze the iodine nutritional status of children aged 8-10 in Baoshan City, so as to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of eliminating and consolidating iodine deficiency disorders in Baoshan City. Methods: From 2018 to 2024, a stratified random sampling method was used to sample 7 363 non boarding children aged 8-10 from 35 survey sites in 5 counties of Baoshan City (Longyang County, Shidian County, Changning County, Tengchong City, Longling County). The salt iodine content and urinary iodine concentration were detected, and the thyroid volume of children was measured by ultrasound. Group comparison was conducted by using Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Chi square test. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of salt iodine, urinary iodine and thyroid volume. Results: A total of 7 361 samples of household edible salt for children were detected. The iodized salt coverage rate was 99.70%, the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 97.02 %. The proportion of unqualified iodized salt fluctuated and decreased from 3.14% in 2018 to 2.14% in 2024. The median iodine content of household edible salt for children was 23.70 (21.60, 25.80) mg/kg. The median urinary iodine of children was 217.41 (152.40, 294.59) μg/L, and the proportions of iodine deficiency, adequate iodine, and iodine excess were 9.75 %, 66.66%, and 23.58%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the median urinary iodine of children among different years, ages, genders and before and after the supply of non iodized salt ( Z/H =134.88, 11.04,-4.28,-2.66, all P < 0.01). An average thyroid volume of children was 3.32 (2.77, 3.93) mL, with a goiter rate of 1.91%. Before and after the implementation of non iodized salt supply in Baoshan City in 2023, there were no statistically significant differences in the median iodine content of household edible salt and the goiter rate of children ( Z/χ 2=-1.54, 3.25, both P >0.05), but there were statistically significant differences in the qualified status of iodized salt, the median urinary iodine, and the frequency distribution of urinary iodine ( χ 2/Z =15.53,-2.66, 10.14, all P <0.05). Salt iodine was positively correlated with urinary iodine ( r =0.04) and negatively correlated with thyroid volume ( r =-0.07), and urinary iodine was negatively correlated with thyroid volume ( r =-0.03) (all P < 0.05 ). The thyroid volume of children consuming iodized salt was larger than that of children consuming non iodized salt ( H = 9.99 ), and there were statistically significant differences in thyroid volume among children with different urinary iodine levels ( H =15.13) (both P <0.01). Conclusions From 2018 to 2024, the overall iodine nutritional level of children aged 8-10 in Baoshan City is at an adequate level. The elimination status of iodine deficiency disorders has been continuously consolidated.

Ulcerative colitis（UC） is a chronic non-specific inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the colonic mucosa and submucosa， and its complex pathogenesis involves immune abnormality， oxidative stress and other factors. The nuclear transcription factor E₂-related factor 2（Nrf2）， encoded by the Nfe212 gene， plays a central role in antioxidant responses. It not only activates various antioxidant response elements such as heme oxygenase-1（HO-1） and quinone oxidoreductase 1（NQO1）， but also enhances the activity of glutathione-S-transferase（GST） and superoxide dismutase 1（SOD1）， effectively eliminating reactive oxygen species（ROS） accumulated in the body， and mitigating oxidative stress-induced damage to intestinal mucosa. In addition， Nrf2 can reduce the release of inflammatory factors and infiltration of immune cells by regulating immune response， cell apoptosis and autophagy pathways， thereby alleviating intestinal inflammation and promoting the repair and regeneration of damaged mucosa. Based on this， this paper reviews the research progress of Chinese materia medica in the prevention and treatment of UC by modulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. It deeply explores the physiological role of Nrf2， the molecular mechanism of activation， the protective effect in the pathological process of UC， and how active ingredients in Chinese materia medica regulate the Nrf2 signaling pathway through multiple pathways to exert their potential mechanisms. These studies have revealed in depth that Chinese materia medica can effectively combat oxidative stress by regulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. It can also play a role in anti-inflammatory， promoting autophagy， inhibiting apoptosis， protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier， and promoting intestinal mucosal repair， providing new ideas and methods for the multi-faceted treatment of UC.

BACKGROUND:Agomelatine is a clinically proven treatment for neuropsychiatric symptoms,such as anxiety and depression.Furthermore,our previous study has demonstrated that agomelatine ameliorates cognitive behaviors,hippocampal synaptic plasticity,and brain pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.However,it remains unclear whether agomelatine can improve anxiety and depression-like behaviors in Alzheimer's disease model mice. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the improving effects of agomelatine on anxiety-and depression-like behaviors in APP/PS1 transgenic mice and its underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS:(1)Eighteen APP/PS1 transgenic mice were randomly divided into model control group(n=9)and model intervention group(n=9).Another wild-type mice were randomized into control group(n=9)and intervention group(n=9).Model intervention group and intervention group were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mg/kg agomelatine per day for 31 continuous days.Behavioral experiments,including the elevated cross maze and forced swimming tests,and mRNA sequencing of the hippocampus were then performed.(2)Mouse hippocampal neuronal cell lines(HT22)and brain microvascular endothelial cell lines(bEnd.3)were cultured and divided into four groups:blank group without any drug,drug group with 20 μmol/L agomelatine,model group with 10 μmol/L β-amyloid 1-42,and experimental group with 10 μmol/L β-amyloid 1-42+20 μmol/L agomelatine.After 24 hours of incubation,protein expression of S416p-tau and S9p-GSK3β in HT22 cells was detected by immunoblotting,and protein expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 and glycosylation end-product receptor in bEnd.3 cells was detected by immunoblotting. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the elevated plus maze test,the time spent in the open arms(P＜0.01)and the entries into open arms(P＜0.05)in the mice of model control group were evidently lower than those in the control group,whereas those were obviously increased in the model intervention group compared with the model control group(P＜0.05).Forced swimming test results showed that the immobile time exhibited a marked increase in the model control group compared with the control group(P＜0.05),but it was significantly decreased in the model intervention group compared with the model control group(P＜0.05).Hippocampal tissue mRNA sequencing showed that agomelatine enhanced the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice.Western blot analysis revealed that the level of S416p-tau in HT22 cells was higher in the model group than the blank group(P＜0.05),while it was markedly decreased in the experimental group compared with the model group(P＜0.05);the level of S9p-GSK3β in HT22 cells was higher in the drug group than the blank group(P＜0.05)as well as higher in the experimental group than the model group(P＜0.05).Moreover,the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 in bEnd.3 cells was higher in the experimental group than the model group(P＜0.05).To conclude,agomelatine can alleviate anxiety-and depression-like behaviors in Alzheimer's disease mice by promoting the clearance of β-amyloid and phosphorylated tau.

Abstract To analyzes the characteristics, problems and enlightenment of physical activity observation tools, so as to provide reference for researchers to quickly and accurately choose appropriate observation tools to evaluate children s and adolescents physical activity. Literature search is conducted in eight databases of Chinese and English, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, ERIC, and SPORTDiscus. Ultimately, eight observation tools for assessing physical activity in children and adolescents are included. Through summarization and comparison, it is found that the applications of those tools cover multiple age groups, the observation indicators cover multiple dimensions for each with varying emphases, and the applicable contexts vary in their specific background information, and recording methods tend to be quantitative. However, several issues remain to be addressed in practical applications. First, the observation indicators need to be supplemented and improved; second, physical activity in community environments and academic classrooms requires further attention; third, physical activity intensity needs to be scientifically evaluated; fourth, observation and recording methods need to be integrated and innovated; fifth, the number of observation subjects needs to be expanded. Future research could focus on developing observation tools tailored to the characteristics of Chinese children and adolescents, while drawing on foreign observation tools to comprehensively assess physical activity among children and adolescents.
