Objective To explore the effect of Jinmaitong (JMT) on expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in hippocampal neurons culturedwith high glucose. Methods Hippocampal neurons were primarily cultured and purified from the hippocampus of new-born SpragueDawley rats. Neuron-specific enolase immunocytochemical method was adopted for the identification of the neurons. They were divided intonormal control group, high glucose group, high-dose JMT (JH) group, middle-dose JMT (JM) group, low-dose JMT (JL) group and a positivecontrol group. 72 hours later, Western blotting was adopted to detect the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3. Results Comparedwith the normal control group, the expression of Bax and Caspase-3 in the high glucose group significantly increased (P<0.01), and the expressionof Bcl-2 significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the high glucose group, the expression of Caspase-3 and Bax in the positivecontrol group and JH, JM, and JL groups significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the expression of Bcl-2 significantly increased (P<0.05).Compared with the positive control group, the expression of Caspase-3 and Bax significantly decreased in JH, JM, and JL groups (P<0.05),and the expression of Bcl-2 significantly increased in JH and JM groups (P<0.05). Conclusion JMT may reduce apoptosis by inhibiting theexpression of Bax and Caspase-3 and promoting the expression of Bcl-2.

Objective:
The present study aimed to examine the mediated moderation effect underlying the association between parental psychological aggression and phubbing, as well as the mediating role of anxiety and moderating role of sex and grade.
Methods:
Based on a cross-sectional study, a total of 758 Chinese junior high school students had completed measures on socio-demographic characteristics, parental psychological aggression, anxiety and phubbing. Structural equation modeling was adopted to examine the mediating effect of anxiety on the association between parental psychological aggression and phubbing. Multigroup analyses were conducted to explore whether the path coefficients differed by sex and grade.
Results:
Mediation analysis indicated that anxiety could mediate the association between parental psychological aggression and phubbing. The indirect effect of parental psychological aggression on phubbing via anxiety was 0.12. Multigroup analyses revealed that the higher mediation effect of anxiety was more likely to be reported by boys and students from grade eight.
Conclusion
Findings of the present study may inform prevention and intervention programs for phubbing in adolescents exposed to parental psychological aggression, by decreasing the anxiety and adopting selective strategies for different sex and grade groups.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of deep learning based on DWI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) to construct a prediction model of the onset time in acute stroke.Methods:A total of 324 cases of acute stroke with clear onset time, from January 2017 to May 2020 in Nanjing First Hospital, were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed. The patients were divided into a training set of 226 patients and a test set of 98 patients according to the complete randomization method using a 7∶3 ratio, and the patients were divided into ≤ 4.5 h and >4.5 h according to symptom onset time in each group. The acute infarction areas on DWI and the corresponding high signal area on FLAIR were manually outlined by physician. Using the InceptionV3 model as the basic model for image features extraction, the deep learning prediction model based on single sequence (DWI, FLAIR) and multi sequences (DWI+FLAIR) were established and verified. Then the area under curve (AUC), accuracy of human readings, single sequence model and multi sequence model in predicting the acute stroke onset time from imaging were compared.Results:DWI-FLAIR mismatch was found in 94 cases (94/207) of patients with symptom onset time from imaging ≤ 4.5 h, while in 28 cases (28/117) of patients with symptom onset time from imaging >4.5 h. ROC analysis showed that the AUC of DWI-FLAIR mismatch in predicting acute stroke onset time from imaging was 0.607, and the accuracy was 60.2%. The prediction model of deep learning based on single sequence showed that the AUC of FLAIR was 0.761 and the accuracy was 71.4%; the AUC of DWI was 0.836 and the accuracy was 81.6%. The AUC of predicting stroke onset time based on the multi-sequence (DWI+FLAIR) deep learning model was 0.852, which was significantly better than that of manual identification ( Z = 0.617, P = 0.002), FLAIR sequence deep learning model ( Z = 2.133, P = 0.006) and DWI sequence deep learning model ( Z = 1.846, P = 0.012). Conclusion:The deep learning model based on DWI and FLAIR is superior to human readings in predicting acute stroke onset time from imaging, which could provide guidance for intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute stroke patients with unknown onset time.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and risk factors of 4L lymph node metastasis in left non-small cell lung cancer.
METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed the data of 134 patients undergoing surgical resection of left non-small cell lung cancer and 4L lymph node dissection, including 60 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 74 with lung adenocarcinoma (ADC). The clinicopathological characteristics of the patients were analyzed, and logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of station 4L metastasis.
RESULTS:
Of these patients, 16.4% (22/134) presented with station 4L metastasis. The patients with SCC and ADC showed significant differences in age, gender, smoking history, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, tumor size, tumor location and type, visceral pleural invasion, Ki-67 index, 4L metastasis and pathological TNM stage (stage Ⅱ). The rate of station 4L metastasis was significantly lower in SCC group than in ADC group. Univariate analysis revealed that pathological types (SCC or ADC), visceral pleural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, tumor markerabnormality, and station 5 to 10 metastasis were all high-risk factors for station 4L metastasis. Multivariate analysis suggested that the pathological type (OR=0.120,
CONCLUSIONS
In patients with left non-small cell lung cancer, station 4L metastasis is not rare and is more likely to occur in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Dissection of the 4L lymph nodes should be performed in cases with low risk of damages of the adjacent tissues and high risk of station 4L metastasis.

ObjectiveBased on network pharmacology and transcriptomics, the mechanism of Zishen Qinggan prescription (ZSQGF) in improving glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) model rats was explored. MethodBased on network pharmacology analysis of the differential genes between ZSQGF and T2DM, gene ontology(GO)analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) analysis were conducted, and molecular docking analysis was used to verify the binding between components and targets. A T2DM rat model was established by high-fat feeding and injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The rats were randomly divided into the control group, model group, metformin (Met, 72 mg·kg-1) group, and ZSQGF high-, medium-, and low-dose groups (ZSQGF-H, ZSQGF-M, and ZSQGF-L, with 4.8, 2.4, and 1.2 g·kg-1 raw drug in the solution). The living status of rats was monitored and the levels of total cholesterol (TC), total triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in rat serum were detected. The liver tissues were subjected to Hematoxylin eosin(HE) staining and oil red O staining. The differential genes were analyzed through transcriptomics, GO and KEGG analysis, and the protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was obtained to screen key targets. With network pharmacology and transcriptomics analysis results, the protein pathways were identified. The expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-1 and MMP-9 proteins in liver tissues were detected by Western blot. The mRNA expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2) modifying factor(BMF), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 4 (NOX4), and fatty acid synthase(FASN) was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR). The expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 in the liver was detected by immunofluorescence staining. ResultTranscriptomics and network pharmacology analysis suggested that ZSQGF may protect the liver through the glucose and lipid metabolism pathway and the inflammation pathway. Experiments showed that after 8 weeks of administration, the body weight, blood sugar, serum indicators, and pathological staining results of rats were improved. Western blot results indicated a decrease in the relative expression levels of NF-κB, MMP-1 and MMP-9 proteins in the liver. Real-time PCR results showed a decrease in the transcriptional expression of BMF, NOX4, and FASN in the ZSQGF-H group, while immunofluorescence staining results present decreased expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 in the ZSQGF groups. ConclusionZSQGF can improve the glucose and lipid metabolism by inhibiting the expression of FASN, reducing lipid synthesis, and regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of resveratrol (RSV) on improving cognitive function in severely burned rats and its possible mechanism. Methods 18 male SD rats aged 18-20 months were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, model group and RSV group, with 6 rats in each group. After successful modeling, the rats in RSV group were gavaged once daily with RSV (20 mg/kg). Meanwhile, the rats in control group and model group were gavaged once daily with an equal volume of sodium chloride solution. After 4 weeks, the cognitive function of all rats was estimated by Step-down Test. The concentration of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) protein in serum of rats were detected by ELISA. The expression of IL-6, TNF-α mRNA and protein were estimated by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The apoptosis of hippocampal neurons was tested by terminal deoxynuclectidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay (TUNEL). The expression of nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway-related proteins in hippocampus were assessed by Western blotting. Results Compared with the rats in model group, rats in RSV group exhibited improved cognitive function. Consistently, the rats in RSV group had a reduced concentration of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum, decreased mRNA and protein expressions of TNF-α and IL-6 in hippocampus, and decreased apoptosis rate and relative expression of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 and p-JNK/JNK in hippocampal neurons. Conclusion RSV alleviates inflammatory response and hippocampal neuronal apoptosis by inhibiting NF-κB/JNK pathway, thereby improving cognitive function in severely burned rats.
