Aim To explore the effects of the inhibition of cell adhesion , invasion and migration in non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) H460 and A549 cells in-duced by platycodin-D ( PD ) and its mechanism. Methods Cell adhesion assay, wound-healing assay and Transwell chamber migration assay were used to detect the ability of cell adhesion, migration and inva-sion. Regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA was de-termined by RT-PCR. Meanwhile, Western blot was performed to determine the expression levels of MMP-2/9 , its upstream related proteins of ERK signaling pathway and p-Akt. Results PD effectively inhibited the ability of cell adhesion, invasion and migration in H460 and A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner ( P<0. 05 ) . PD reduced the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA in H460 and A549 cells ( P<0. 01 );meanwhile, PD down-regulated the expression levels of MMP-2/9 , and inhibited the expression of its upstream proteins Ras, p-c-Raf, p-ERK 1/2 and p-Akt in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Conclusions PD inhibits cell adhesion, invasion and migration in NSCLC cells, and these effects are related to the down-regulation of the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mR-NA and protein, and inhibition of its upstream expres-sion of ERK signaling pathway and p-Akt.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in pancreatic duct stones.Methods:The clinicopathologic data of 204 patients undergoing EUS for symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension and jaundice suspected of pancreatic duct stones, who were admitted to the General Hospital of Western Theater Command from January 2019 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Of 159 patients were finally enrolled, including 47 females and 112 males, aged (51.8±13.9) years. Surgery or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered the " gold standard" for the diagnosis of pancreatic duct stones. Of 38 patients (23.9%) had abdominal ultrasound, 143 (89.9%) had CT scan and 93 (58.5%) had magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) at the same time. The diagnostic accuracy of imaging examinations in pancreatic duct stones was compared.Results:In 159 patients, 61 (38.4%) were diagnosed of pancreatic duct stones. In the 159 patients, 61 (38.4%) were diagnosed of pancreatic duct stones by EUS. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, Youden index and accuracy of EUS for pancreatic duct stones were 98.4%, 99.0%, 98.4%, 99.0%, 97.3% and 98.7%, respectively. The accuracy of EUS in diagnosing pancreatic duct stones was higher than that of percutaneous ultrasound, CT and MRCP (χ 2=7.71, 13.76, and 5.70, P=0.012, <0.001, 0.033). The diagnostic accuracy of EUS is comparable with operation and ERCP (Kappa=0.854, P<0.001). Conclusion:EUS could be a superior imaging approach to diagnose the pancreatic duct stone.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious nervous system disease that usually leads to the impairment of the motor, sensory, and autonomic nervous functions of the spinal cord, and it places a heavy burden on families and healthcare systems every year. Due to the complex pathophysiological mechanism of SCI and the poor ability of neurons to regenerate, the current treatment scheme has very limited effects on the recovery of spinal cord function. In addition, due to their unique advantages, exosomes can be used as carriers for cargo transport. In recent years, some studies have confirmed that treatment with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can promote the recovery of SCI nerve function. The therapeutic effect of MSCs is mainly related to exosomes secreted by MSCs, and exosomes may have great potential in SCI therapy. In this review, we summarized the repair mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exos) in SCI treatment and discussed the microRNAs related to SCI treatment based on MSCs-Exos and their mechanism of action, which is helpful to further understand the role of exosomes in SCI.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(9):1294-1298
Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of Internet addiction and depression of students, and to analyze the co-occurrence and trend, so as to provide a theoretical basis for prevention and controlling measures of Internet addiction and depression.
Methods:
A total of 6 317,7 152,81 808,71 180 and 89 932 students aged 10 to 24 years from 12 leagues (103 banners) in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were selected by stratified random cluster sampling in September each year from 2017 to 2021. The Internet Addiction Scale and the Central for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D) was used to measure Internet addiction and depression. And the annual inspection rate, group difference and annual change trend in students were calculated. Multivariate linear regression and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to estimate the linear and non linear associations between Internet addiction and depression in students.
Results:
The Internet addiction proportion in students gradually decreased from 4.1% in 2017 to 2.1% in 2020, but increased to 3.9% in 2021. And the depressive symptoms proportion increased from 20.9% in 2017 to 28.0% in 2020 and 27.0% in 2021. The detection rate of Internet addiction and depression comorbidities remained at 1.8% to 2.5 %. The Internet addiction proportion in boys was higher than that in girls( χ 2=42.82, P <0.05). The depressive symptoms prevalence in girls was higher than that in boys( χ 2= 553.90, P <0.05). Taking reversal in prevalence of Internet addiction in urban and rural areas was observed in 2019. The detection rates of depressive symptoms and comorbidity were higher in urban areas than these in suburban counties on the whole, and the difference showed a trend of decreasing or even equalizing year by year. Internet addiction was positively correlated with depressive symptoms score ( B=1.67, 95%CI =1.64-1.71), the proportion of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.39, 95%CI =1.38-1.41) and the proportion of major depressive symptoms ( OR=1.35, 95%CI =1.33-1.36) among students in 2021 ( P <0.05). An N-shaped curve was found in the significant nonlinear associations between internet addiction and depression across sex, region and school stage.
Conclusion
Internet addiction and depression in students show significant linear and non-linear associations, which are consistent in different sexes, regions and school stages. Therefore, relevant measures should be made and implemented in each region, especially in suburb areas, so as to prevent the increasingly development of adolescents and children s Internet addiction and depression.
