Objective To investigate the reversal effect and molecular mechanisms of NF-κB inhibitor parthenolide (PTL) on insulin resistance ( IR). Methods HepG2 cells were treated with insulin at different concentrations and time points, the glucose consumption of HepG2 cells was measured via glucose oxidase method to determine the best concentrations and time for establishing insulin-induced insulin resistance on HepG2 cells. After modeling, different concentrations of PTL were added in cells for 24 h for determining cell activity and glucose-consumption. Q-PCR was used to detect the expression of NF-κB and IκBα mRNA in cells, and western blot was used to detect the expression of protein IκBα. Results The best reaction time and concentration for insulin inducing resistance of HepG2 cells were 24 h and at 10 μg·mL-1 . The optimum acting dose of PTL was 20 μmol·L-1 . NF-κB activity was significantly reduced (P<0. 05), IκBα degradation was significantly inhibited (P<0. 05) compared to HepG2 cells with insulin resistance upon intervention on insulin resistance HepG2 cells by PTL. Conclusion PTL can inhibit IκBα degradation and disassociation of it from NF-κB, which in turn improves insulin resistance, providing theo-retical basis for preventing and treating diabetes with PTL.

Objective:To explore the changes and their clinical significance of plasma d-dimer (D-D) and fibrinogen (Fib) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with hypoxemia.Methods:150 patients with AECOPD admitted to our hospital from September 2017 to October 2018 were selected and divided into simple AECOPD group (75 cases) and AECOPD combined with hypoxemia group (75 cases) according to the arterial blood gas analysis results. In addition, 75 healthy people in the same period were selected as the control group. The D-D, Fib and C-reactive protein (CRP) level were detected in venous blood, and the differences and correlation of these indexes among the groups were statistically analyzed.Results:The D-D and Fib of AECOPD combined with hypoxemia group were significantly higher than those of AECOPD group and healthy control group, and the AECOPD group was higher than the healthy control group ( P<0.001). In AECOPD group, the plasma Fib and D-D were positively correlated with CRP ( r=0.617, P<0.001; r=0.300, P=0.009), but not with platelets (PLT) and white blood cell (WBC) ( P>0.05); in AECOPD combined with hypoxemia group, the plasma Fib was positively correlated with CRP, WBC and PLT ( r=0.854, P<0.001; r=0.345, P=0.002; r=0.272, P=0.018), but there was no correlation between D-D and CRP, WBC and PLT ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The plasma level of D-D and Fib increase with the aggravation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They could be considered as potential inflammatory markers for the assessment of inflammation in the progression of COPD.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress and food addiction among primary and secondary school students in Yixing City, so as to provide reference and suggestions for maintaining healthy eating behavior and psychological health intervention and promotion among primary and secondary school students in Yixing City.
Methods:
From December 2022 to February 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 4 180 primary and secondary school students from four primary and secondary schools in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and related behavior questionnaires. The data was analyzed using χ 2 test, Wilcoxon, Kruskal Wallis H rank sum test, and binary Logistic regression.
Results:
The prevalence of food addiction among primary and secondary school students in Yixing City was 0.98% (41 students), and there was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of food addiction, depression, anxiety, and stress scores among students of different genders and age groups ( Z/H = -1.34- 5.74, P >0.05). There was a positive correlation between food addiction and binge eating behavior, depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms ( r=0.14-0.23, P <0.01). The results of binary Logistic regression showed that anxiety ( OR=5.68, 95%CI =1.74- 18.55 ) and stress ( OR=5.41, 95%CI =2.20-13.32) were positively correlated with the occurrence of food addiction in primary and secondary school students ( P <0.01).
Conclusions
The risk of food addiction among primary and secondary school students with anxiety and stress symptoms is higher than that of the general population. Guidance and intervention on student mental health should cover the entire compulsory education and high school period, in order to improve the mental health level of students and reduce the occurrence of food addiction behavior.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of fatty liver occurrence in postoperative breast cancer patients after endocrine therapy, and establish a risk prediction model.Methods:A total of 120 breast cancer patients who received endocrine therapy after surgery in Huanggang Central Hospital from June 2014 to June 2016 were retrospectively selected, and another 120 breast cancer patients who did not receive endocrine therapy after surgery in the same period were selected as the control group. The difference of prognosis between patients treated with endocrine therapy or not was compared. According to the occurrence of fatty liver after endocrine therapy, the patients were divided into fatty liver group (63 cases) and non-fatty liver group (57 cases). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of fatty liver occurrence after endocrine therapy. Based on the risk factors, R 3.3.2 software was used to establish a nomogram prediction model. The Harrell consistency index and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (with imageological diagnosis as the "gold standard") were used to analyze the effect of the model on predicting the occurrence of fatty liver, and the calibration curve was used to evaluate the consistency between the model prediction and the actual situation.Results:The recurrence and metastasis rate and mortality rate of patients with endocrine therapy were lower than those of patients without endocrine therapy, and the 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival rates and overall survival rates were higher than those of patients without endocrine therapy (all P < 0.05). Compared with the non-fatty liver group, the levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and body mass index (BMI) in the fatty liver group increased (all P < 0.05), while the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) decreased ( P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increased ALT [ OR = 4.680 (95% CI 3.621-5.738)], AST [ OR = 4.862 (95% CI 3.809-5.914)], TBIL [ OR = 3.808 (95 % CI 2.754-4.861)], TC [ OR = 4.294 (95% CI 3.320-5.267)], TG [ OR = 3.401 (95% CI 2.442-4.359)], LDL-C [ OR = 2.976 (95% CI 2.037-3.916)], BMI [ OR = 4.082 (95% CI 3.118-5.045)] and decreased HDL-C [ OR = 0.930 (95% CI 0.876-0.983)] were independent risk factors for fatty liver occurrence after endocrine therapy (all P < 0.05). The consistency index of the nomogram model was 0.792 (95% CI 0.721-0.863), and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the nomogram model to judge the occurrence of fatty liver was 0.810 (95% CI 0.734-0.886), indicating that the model had a good discrimination between fatty liver and non-fatty liver. The evaluation of calibration curve showed that the nomogram model for prediction of fatty liver had a good consistency with the actual occurrence of fatty liver. Conclusions:Increased ALT, AST, TBIL, TC, TG, LDL-C, BMI and decreased HDL-C are risk factors for fatty liver occurrence after endocrine therapy in postoperative breast cancer patients. The nomogram model based on risk factors has a good effect on predicting the occurrence of fatty liver.

Retinal vein occlusion(RVO), the second most prevalent retinal vascular disease, has complex pathophysiological mechanism. Except for mechanical pressure on blood vessel, inflammation and endothelin have been confirmed to be involved in the pathogenesis of RVO. However, its specific mechanism remains unclear. Hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia have been previously shown to be the most common risk factors in elder population, while recent studies found that coagulation and hemorheological abnormalities are more common in people under 50 years old. Ocular risk factors including glaucoma, high corrected intraocular pressure and retinal vessels abnormality, have gained more and more attention. These factors probably exert a synergistic effect when present simultaneously in the same patient. Therefore, early identification and intervention of those factors could lower the incidence of RVO. This article aims to review recent research and summarize existing mechanism and theories, giving some new research ideas for potential therapy targets and providing references for identification and management of risk factors.
