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.

The paper described the necessity of social capital utilization for public hospitals, and analyzed the model and characteristics of public hospital financing. It is pointed out that the key to the public-benefit nature in the financing calls for distinguishing responsibilities of the government and the market, defining the reasonable level and manner for investors' return, and building corresponding incentive mechanism and supervision mechanism.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)has been classified as mild,moderate,or severe,on the basis of the Glasgow coma scale (GCS)score.Mild TBI is estimated to account for 90% of all cases of TBI, and it has become a serious public health problem,with morbidity increasing year by year.At present,there is a lack of accepted uniform definition of mild TBI.Clinically,mild TBI and concussion are interchangeable terms.In recent years,advances in brain imaging,biomarkers determination,and neuropathology have encouraged people to revise and update their knowledge about mild TBI.In view of the high prevalence of mild TBI in the emergency and community,and the absence of the data concerning the long-term effects of mild TBI, further research is needed about how to reduce morbidity and costs, alleviate delayed consequences,and develop evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes.

Objective:
: This study analyzed the influence of p120-catenin (catenin [cadherin-associated protein], delta 1 [CTNND1]) on the malignant characteristics of glioma and elucidated the potential underlying mechanism.
Methods:
: The p120 expression level was assessed in the brain tissues of 42 glioma patients and 10 patients with epilepsy by using the immunohistochemical method. Meanwhile, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QT-PCR) technology was employed to assess the expression of p120 in the brain tissues of 71 glioma patients and 13 epilepsy patients. LN229, U251, and U87 glioma cells were used for in vitro analysis and categorized into four treatment groups : siRNA-blank control (BC) group (no RNA sequence was transfected), siRNA-negative control (NC) group (transfected control RNA sequences with no effect), and siRNA-1 and siRNA-2 groups (two p120-specific interfering RNA transfection). p120 expression in these treatment groups was quantified by western blotting assay. The migratory and invasive capabilities of glioma cells were studied by wound healing assay and Transwell invasion assay, respectively, under different treatment conditions. MTT (3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide) assay and cell cycle and apoptosis assay were used to determine glioma cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. Enzymelabeled assay was performed to measure intracellular calcium ion concentration. Immunofluorescence assay was performed for determining microtubule formation and glioma cell distribution.
Results:
: Brain tissues of the glioma group exhibited a remarkable increase in the p120 expression level as compared to brain tissues of the nontumor group (p<0.05). Furthermore, a strong positive correlation was noted between the malignancy degree in glioma brain tissues and p120 expression in Western blotting (r=0.906, p<0.0001) and QT-PCR (F=830.6, p<0.01). Compared to the BC and NC groups, the siRNA transfection groups showed a significant suppression in p120 expression in glioma cells (p<0.05), with a marked attenuation in the invasive, migratory, and proliferative capabilities of glioma cells as well as an increase in apoptotic potential (p<0.05). Enzyme-labeled assay showed a remarkable increase in calcium concentration in glioma cells after siRNA treatment. Immunofluorescence assay revealed that the microtubule formation ability of glioma cells reduced after siRNA treatment.
Conclusion
: p120 has a pivotal involvement in facilitating glioma cell invasion and proliferation by potentially modulating these processes through its involvement in microtubule formation and regulation of intracellular calcium ion levels.

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.
