To address the constrains imposed by insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and high glutathione (GSH) expression in tumor cells on the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) loaded with disulfiram (DSF) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) was synthesized via a one-pot approach. Subsequently, hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified cupric peroxide (CuO2) was in-situ grown on its surface through biomineralization to construct a multifunctional copper-based nanozyme ADZCH (3-AT/DSF@ZIF-8@CuO2-HA). This nanoplatform disrupts the intratumoral H2O2 homeostasis, depletes GSH, and synchronously delivers DSF and Cu2+ via cascade catalysis, thereby enhancing CDT and sensitizing tumors to DSF-based chemotherapy. The results of physicochemical characterization indicated that ADZCH presented a uniform core-shell structure with favorable dispersibility. Its particle size and Zeta potential were 196.5 nm and −19.5 mV, respectively. It possessed a microporous structure with a specific surface area of 81.8600 m2/g, and demonstrated efficient loading capacity for DSF and 3-AT, achieving drug loading efficiencies of 5.91% and 45.07%, respectively. Moreover, ADZCH can continuously and slowly release drugs in an acidic environment and maintain good stability under diverse physiological conditions. In vitro functional assays verified that ADZCH catalytically generated H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals while concurrently depleting GSH in a concentration- and incubation time-dependent manner. Cellular uptake experiments showed that HA modification significantly improved the uptake of nanoparticles by 4T1 cells. Cytotoxicity tests showed that 80 μg/mL ADZCH had a significant cytotoxic effect on 4T1 cells but no significant toxicity on L929 cells. DCFH-DA probe detection indicated that ADZCH could significantly induce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thereby enhancing CDT efficacy. Live/dead staining experiments showed that ADZCH efficiently induced apoptosis, with the proportion of dead cells reaching 94.74%, demonstrating its promising potential for anti-tumor applications.This study provides new research ideas and experimental basis for overcoming the tumor microenvironment barrier and enhancing the anti-tumor effect of CDT combined with chemotherapy.

Objective: To explore the temporal variation in physical health status among college students, analyze the correlation and dose response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical fitness indicators, so as to provide a scientific basis for physical health intervention among college students in universities. Methods: A total of 4 910 freshmen in the 2021 grade at Xi an Jiaotong University were selected. The BMI and changes in five physical fitness indicators (50 meter run, endurance run, standing long jump, sit and reach, and pull up or 1 minute sit up) were continuously assessed during follow up evaluations from 2021 to 2024. One way analysis of variance, generalized estimating equation (GEE), and other statistical methods were used to analyze the trends in temporal variation among the physical fitness indicators as well as the correlation characteristics and dose response relationship between BMI and physical fitness. Results: In 2021 the overweight and obesity rates among male freshmen were 20.36 % and 8.62%, respectively, and 12.91% and 2.91% among female freshman, respectively. From 2021 to 2024 the BMI of male and female students showed an upward trend with a significant increase( F =87.29,3.69,both P <0.05). The physical fitness indicators for both male and female students, including the 50 meter run, standing long jump, pull up and 1 minute sit up, first increased and then decreased, the endurance run performance decreased, and the sit and reach performance first decreased and then increased. The GEE model showed that BMI was negatively correlated with the performance of standing long jump, pullup/1 minute sit up, and sit and reach in both male and female students（ β =-1.72，-0.34，-0.15；-0.94，-0.26，-0.12）, and positively correlated with the time of 50 meter run and endurance run（ β =0.05，3.16；0.03，1.86）（all P ＜0.05）. The increase in BMI was associated with physical fitness decline in a non linear dose response relationship, while the sit and reach performance reached a peak at a BMI of approximately 22 kg/m 2, then decreased with the further increase in BMI. Conclusions A significant negative correlation is demonstrated between BMI and physical fitness indicators and male students are more sensitive to changes in BMI. College students should be guided to actively manage their weight and attach importance to physical exercise to improve their physical health.

Endometriosis （EMT） is a common disease with frequent occurrence and difficult to be cured in modern clinical practice of obstetrics and gynaecology. It is characterized by progressively worsening dysmenorrhoea， pelvic mass， and infertility. The incidence of EMT is growing and increasingly younger patients are diagnosed with this disease， which poses a serious threat to the reproductive and psychological health of women of childbearing age and adolescent females. However， the pathogenesis of EMT is still not completely clear， and the disease has a long course. Therefore， developing new therapies is an urgent clinical problem to be solved. Great progress has been achieved in the treatment of EMT with traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， while the underlying mechanism remains in exploration. Programmed cell death （PCD） is a cell death mode mediated by a variety of bio-molecules with specific signaling cascades. The known PCD processes include apoptosis， pyroptosis， autophagy， ferroptosis， and cuproptosis， which all play a pivotal role in the development of EMT. Researchers have made achievements in the treatment of EMT with TCM， which regulates PCD via multiple pathways， routes， targets， and mechanisms. However， the progress in the regulation of PCD in the treatment of EMT with TCM remains to be reviewed. This paper reviews the research progress in the treatment of EMT with TCM from five PCD processes （apoptosis， pyroptosis， autophagy， ferroptosis， and cuproptosis）， with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of EMT.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)radiomics combined with Magee equation 3(ME3)for pathological response following neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)in patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative(HR+/HER2-)breast cancer.Methods A ret-rospective analysis was performed on 325 breast cancer patients diagnosed with HR+/HER2-in two hospitals.Patients from the first hospital were randomly divided into training and internal validation sets at a ratio of 7∶3.Patients from the second hospital served as external validation set.The volume of interest(VOI)of breast cancer was delineated on DCE-MRI images.Then the rele-vant radiomics features were extracted and selected,and the Radiomics score(Radscore)was calculated.The statistically significant clinical and pathological features and Radscore were incorporated into a multivariate analysis.The combined radiomics-clinical model and nomogram were established,and the prediction performance was evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results In the training set,seven radiomics features were selected to construct the radiomics model.ME3 score emerged as the independent factor for pathological complete response(pCR)(P＜0.001).By integrating ME3 score and Radscore,a combined radiomics-clinical model was developed.This model demonstrated robust predictive accuracy,with area under the curve(AUC)of 0.88[95％confidence interval(CI)0.80-0.95],0.90(95％CI 0.82-0.98),and 0.82(95％CI 0.70-0.93)in the training,internal validation,and external validation sets,respectively.The nomogram construc-ted from the combined model exhibited excellent discrimination and calibration,with P-values of 0.455,0.312 and 0.062 in the train-ing,internal validation,and external validation sets.Conclusion DCE-MRI radiomics combined with ME3 can be used to predict the pathological response of NAC in HR+/HER2-breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the prognosis and influencing factors of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS), and provide the guidance for early clinical prevention and treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 147 children with EONS in Shijiazhuang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The baseline data and prognosis data (good prognosis and poor prognosis) were recorded. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in children with EONS. R3.5.3 software package was used to build a nomogram model for predicting poor prognosis in children with EONS, and the rms package was used to calculate the consistency index ( C- index), and Bootstrap self-sampling was used for internal verification. Results:Among the 147 children with EONS, 41 children (27.89%) had poor prognosis, and 106 children (72.11%) had good prognosis. The incidence of thrombocytopenia, incidence of bacterial meningitis, procalcitonin and lactate in children with poor prognosis were significantly higher than those in children with good prognosis: 68.29% (28/41) vs. 17.92% (19/106), 43.9% (18/41) vs. 1.89% (2/106), (70.36 ± 13.45) ng/L vs. (42.76 ± 10.37) ng/L and (6.18 ± 2.05) mmol/L vs. (4.22 ± 1.05) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical difference in gender composition, gestational age, birth weight, 1 min Apgar score, delivery mode, white blood cell, C-reactive protein, creatinine and the incidences of placental abruption, amniotic fluid contamination, maternal infection, necrotizing enterocolitis between the two groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic analysis result showed that thrombocytopenia, bacterial meningitis, high procalcitonin and high lactate were the independent risk factors for poor prognosis in children with EONS ( OR = 9.595, 22.657, 1.213 and 2.614; 95% CI 1.094 to 20.055, 1.833 to 41.328, 0.745 to 0.937 and 0.990 to 1.209; P<0.05 or <0.01). A nomogram model was constructed to predict poor prognosis in children with EONS, using thrombocytopenia, bacterial meningitis, procalcitonin and lactate as predictive factors. The nomogram model predicted that the correction curve for poor prognosis in children with EONS tended towards the ideal curve ( C- index = 0.987, 95% CI 0.975 to 0.998). Conclusions:The children with EONS have a higher risk of adverse prognosis, which may be related to their comorbidities with thrombocytopenia, bacterial meningitis, high procalcitonin and high lactate at diagnosis. The nomogram model established based on the indexes has a good predictive effect on the disease prognosis.

The chest wall is one of the most common sites of local recurrence after mastectomy. Radiation therapy has been proven to significantly reduce local recurrence and improve survival in breast cancer patients. In postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT), the dose build-up effects of high-energy radiation result in lower doses on the skin surface of the affected chest wall. To increase the skin dose, tissue compensators (boluses) need to be applied to the skin surface of the affected chest wall. This review primarily summarizes the indications, materials, thickness, and frequency of boluses used in PMRT, serving as a reference for clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies have indicated that Angong Niuhuang Pills (ANP) reduce cerebral infarct and edema volumes. This study aimed to investigate whether ANP safely reduces cerebral infarct and edema volumes in patients with moderate to severe acute ischemic stroke. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial included patients with acute ischemic stroke with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores ranging from 10 to 20 in 17 centers in China between April 2021 and July 2022. Patients were allocated within 36 h after onset via block randomization to receive ANP or placebo (3 g/day for 5 days). The primary outcomes were changes in cerebral infarct and edema volumes after 14 days of treatment. The primary safety outcome was severe adverse events (SAEs) for 90 days. RESULTS: There were 57 and 60 patients finally included in the ANP and placebo groups, respectively for modified intention-to-treat analysis. The median age was 66.0 years, and the median NIHSS score at baseline was 12.0. The changes in cerebral infarct volume at day 14 were 0.3 mL and 0.4 mL in the ANP and placebo groups, respectively (median difference: -7.1 mL; interquartile range [IQR]: -18.3 to 2.3 mL, P = 0.30). The changes in cerebral edema volume of the ANP and placebo groups on day 14 were 11.4 mL and 4.0 mL, respectively ( median difference: 3.0 mL, IQR: -1.3 to 9.9 mL, P = 0.15). The rates of SAE within 90 days were similar in the ANP (3/57, 5%) and placebo (7/60, 12%) groups ( P = 0.36). Changes in serum mercury and arsenic concentrations were comparable. In patients with large artery atherosclerosis, ANP reduced the cerebral infarct volume at 14 days (median difference: -12.3 mL; IQR: -27.7 to -0.3 mL, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: ANP showed a similar safety profile to placebo and non-significant tendency to reduce cerebral infarct volume in patients with moderate-to-severe stroke. Further studies are warranted to assess the efficacy of ANP in reducing cerebral infarcts and improving clinical prognosis. TRAIL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov , No. NCT04475328.

Schizophrenia (SZ) stands as a severe psychiatric disorder. This study applied diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data in conjunction with graph neural networks to distinguish SZ patients from normal controls (NCs) and showcases the superior performance of a graph neural network integrating combined fractional anisotropy and fiber number brain network features, achieving an accuracy of 73.79% in distinguishing SZ patients from NCs. Beyond mere discrimination, our study delved deeper into the advantages of utilizing white matter brain network features for identifying SZ patients through interpretable model analysis and gene expression analysis. These analyses uncovered intricate interrelationships between brain imaging markers and genetic biomarkers, providing novel insights into the neuropathological basis of SZ. In summary, our findings underscore the potential of graph neural networks applied to multimodal DTI data for enhancing SZ detection through an integrated analysis of neuroimaging and genetic features.
