Objective:Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) acts as a regulator for axon guidance in central nervous system development. However, new evidence indicates that Sema4D has a previously unrecognized function, namely, compensatory angiogenic factor. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Sema4D on tumor growth and vascularity of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in nude mice. Meth-ods:Sema4D was knocked down in CRC cells by infecting the cells with lentiviruses coding for Sema4D shRNA. Two groups of cells, namely, those infected with control viruses and those infected with Sema4D shRNA viruses, were subjected to migration assay to test their ability induce endothelial cell migration. The two cell groups were subcutaneously injected into nude mice. Tumor growth was documented, and the tumors harvested from the mice were subjected to immunohistochemistry or immuno fl uorescence analyses. Re-sults:In vitro migration assay results indicated that media conditioned by HCT-116 cells infected with Sema4D shRNA lentiviruses in-duced low endothelial cell migration. The two groups of subcutaneously inoculated cells showed 100%tumorigenicity. However, tumor growth rates were significantly different between the two groups. Xenografts in which Sema4D was downregulated showed marked re-duction in tumor size and vascularity. Conclusion:Cancer cells may highly express Sema4D to trigger net neo-angiogenesis and gener-ate a tumor blood supply system. Thus, Sema4D could potentially be a target in anti-angiogenic therapy of CRC patients.

BACKGROUND: Considerable studies demonstrate that nitric oxide synthase (NOS)/nitric oxide (NO)plays an important role in maintaining normal function of Sertoli cells, and influences spermatic generation and activation as well as fertilizability.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of goat testis extract on NOS activity in Sertoli cells of mice with testis injury caused by heavy mental Pb.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal trial.SETTING: Department of Histology and Embryology, Jilin Medical College.MATERIALS: This trial was carried out in the laboratory of Histology and Embryology, Jilin Medical College (Key laboratory of the general logistics department of P.L.A) during March 2004 to August 2005. Thirty healthy Kunming male mice were involved and randomized into 3 groups,with 10 in each group: control group, testis injury model group (model group) and goat testis extract-treated group (treatment group).METHODS: The mice in the model group and experimental group were daily administrated with 100 g/L lead acetate, 0.2 mL/(mouse·d), 5 times/wk within 2 weeks, then withdrawal for 1 week. Simultaneously, the mice in the treatment group were subcutaneously injected with goat testis extract at 0.5 mL/(mouse ·d). The mice in the control group were given redistilled water of the same dose as that in the treatment group. After being poisoned fully, the mice were fasted for 12 hours and weighted, finally sacrificed by decapitation. Bilateral testis were dissected, immediately weighted, fixed with formalin and sliced. The NOS changes in Sertoli cells of mice in each group were observed with reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phophate-diaphorase(NADPH-d) histochemical method combined with microscope image.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Body mass, bilateral testis mass and NOS absorbance (A) in Sertoli cells of mice in each group after contamination expiration.RESULTS: All the 30 mice were involved in the result analysis, without deletion. ①After contamination expiration, the body mass, bilateral testis mass and NOS A value in treatment group were significantly than those in the model group [(22.47±3.49) g vs. (19.13±3.46) g;(0.113±0.021 ) g vs.(0.089±0.017) g; 0.236±0.020 vs. 0.146±0.023, t=2.151-3.314,P ＜ 0.05-0.01]; ② In the model group, NOS positive Sertoli cells swelled and degenerated; The morphology of NOS positive Sertoli cells in the treatment group was close to that in the control group.CONCLUSION: Goat testis extract can boost the NOS activity in Sertoli cells of mice with testis injury caused by heavy mental pliumbum and has some repairing and protective effect on testis injury, which can provide new thinking for treatment of male sterility.

Objective To analyze the mechanism of interaction between cardiac and renal failure and observe the protective effects of Zhenwu decoction on cardio-renal syndrome rats. Methods The rats were divided into five groups: Sham group, MI (myocardial infarction) group, MI merger STNx group, MI intervention group, MI merger STNx intervention group. The first three groups were fed with saline (NS) for two weeks after surgery. The latter two groups of rats were fed with an equal volume of Zhenwu decoction. The cardiac function of rats in each group were evaluated , including the mass of heart , left ventricle and left kidney weights as a ratio of body weight, fractional shortening and left ventricular ejection fraction. And serum levels of indoxyl sulfate and serum creatinine were also achieved. Results MI merger STNx could further aggravate the heart function, kidney function and left ventricular remodeling in rats. Zhenwu decoction could obviously improve the heart function, kidney function and left ventricular remodeling in rats. Conclusions Based on the MI models, STNx can worsen heart function and kidney function. Zhenwu decoction can significantly improve heart function and kidney function.

Objective:To investigate any change in the effective connectivity between the bilateral anterior central gyruses after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).Methods:Twenty-one healthy subjects were examined using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) before and after receiving continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS). The brain atlas of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was used for fine partitioning of the bilateral anterior central gyruses. Granger causality analysis was used to compare any changes in the effective connectivity between them.Results:After the cTBS inhibited the right M1 area, significant changes in effective connectivity among the sub-regions of the bilateral M1 area were observed. The effective connectivity of the right upper limb to the left upper limb and the left head to face were weakened, while that of the left upper limb to the right head, as well as of the face to the right upper limb was enhanced.Conclusion:For people whose right M1 area has been inhibited by cTBS, the effective connectivity changes in both upper limb functional areas of the M1 region reflect inter-hemispheric inhibition. Opposite changes were found in the trunk and upper limbs.

Objective: To understand the relationship between residential neighborhood green space and mental health of middle school students, so as to provide a theoretical basis for mental health promotion among of middle school students at the level of residential environment. Methods: From October to December 2023, 1 258 students from three junior high schools and two general high schools in Panlong, Wuhua, Chenggong, and Guandu districts of Kunming City were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method. Conducting onsite questionnaire survey using the Mental Health Inventroy of Middle School students, residential neighborhood green space were evaluated using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between as green space in residential neighborhoods and the mental health of middle school students. Results: The average mental health score of middle school students in Kunming was (2.02± 0.69 ), of which 447 (37.92%) had mild mental health problems, 107 (8.51%) had moderate mental health problems, and 12 ( 0.95% ) had more severe mental health problems. Mental health scores of middle school students varied significantly by gender, grade, and family income ( t/F =6.99, 7.15, 3.70, P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that NDVI_250 m, NDVI_500 m, and NDVI_1 000 m were all negatively correlated with the total mental health scores of middle school students ( r =-0.07,-0.09, -0.10 , P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, grade, NDVI_250 m, NDVI_500 m, and NDVI_1 000 m were infuencing factors on the mental health of middle school students( B =0.25，0.05，-0.47，-0.67，-0.78, P <0.05). Conclusions Mental health of middle school students in Kunming is related to green space in different buffer zones around residences. The mental health education of middle school students should be strengthened, especially for girls and senior students, optimizing resources to reduce pressure, and improving the quality of green space in residential communities to improve the mental health of adolescents.

Objective:To analyze the construction and operation of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games designated hospitals, and to discuss the medical emergency security work of large-scale sports events, so as to provide references for the planning of designated hospitals in future large-scale sports events.Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on the establishment principles, requirements, selection of medical support personnel, and training exercises of the designated hospitals, focusing on the key links such as organizational system, staffing, designated areas, and drug management.Results:Total of 40 designated hospitals have successfully completed the task of medical security by rebuilding the medical security area of the Asian Games, elevating the process, equipping facilities, and strengthening staff training. During the Asian Games, 349 people were transferred to designated hospitals by ambulance, 54 people were hospitalized, 19 people underwent surgery, and 1022 people went to designated hospitals by themselves.Conclusion:The construction of the designated hospitals during the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games was of high quality, efficient and smooth operation. It is suggested that efforts should be made in the reconstruction of the medical security area for the Asian Games to be "relatively independent". The treatment process of self-visiting patients should be fully considered and the flat urgent emergency response mechanism needs to be established.

Objective:To analyze the lipid composition of coronary atherosclerotic plaques and explore the mechanism of its influence on the medium and long-term efficacy of coronary endarterectomy(CE).Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, a total of 50 patients with diffuse coronary artery disease(DCAD)and hyperlipidemia in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were enrolled to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting combined with anterior descending CE. After the informed consent was signed before the operation, the coronary endarterectomy plaque tissue and blood plasma samples were taken during the operation. Patients were further examined by coronary atherosclerosis T1-weighted characterization(CATCH) and power domain non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)postoperatively to analyze middle and long-term coronary restenosis risks. They were divided into high-risk group(restenosis rate >25%, study group) and matched low-risk group(control group). Lipid and molecular biological analysis were performed in the two groups to detect the tissue and cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme(CYP3A4) content of plaque samples.Results:8 patients were enrolled in each group. The lipid analysis showed that and tissue samples from patients in the study group had a significantly higher level of 4α- Hydroxycholesterol(4α-OHC)as compared to the control group(0.050 μmol/g vs. 0.016 μmol/g, P<0.05). Further, 12 months after the operation, CATCH results showed that the patency rate of the control group was better than that of the study group[coronary artery stenosis rate(9.01±1.9)% vs.(22. 31±2.3)%, P<0.05]. Comparison of CYP3A4 content showed that: the CYP3A4 in blood plasma for the study group was higher than that in the control group[immediate(0.88±0.05)ng/ml vs.(0. 45±0.03) ng/ml and(2. 08± 0.40) ng/ml vs.(1. 58± 0.16)ng/ml, P<0.05]. Conclusion:High expression of 4 α- OHC may accelerate atherosclerosis(AS) after CE and cause restenosis in the middle and long term; It was also confirmed that 4 α- OHC is a biomarker of CYP3A4, which suggests for further investigation of the mechanism of progression after CE.

Objective: To evaluate diet quality and related problems among children and adolescents in Yunnan Province, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of targeted dietary interventions for children and adolescents in this region. Methods: Using a stratified random sampling method, 1 078 primary and secondary school students from six prefecture level cities in Yunnan Province were selected from August to November 2022. Dietary quality was evaluated by applying the China Children s Dietary Index (CCDI-2016) on the basis of a 3 d 24 h dietary survey. Results: The total dietary index score of children and adolescents in Yunnan Province was 62.63(54.57,71.19). The overall recommended intakes were largely achieved by consumption of cereals, eggs and sugary drinks, with dietary index scores of 9.91(8.24,10.00), 5.58(0,8.58) and 9.20(7.38,10.00), respectively; there were inadequate intakes of vegetables, legumes, water, vitamin A and dietary fiber, with scores of 5.63(4.09,7.59), 3.48 (0,9.70), 4.23(2.67,5.50), 2.33(1.56,3.53), 3.19(1.63,5.67), respectively; intake of fruits, dairy and aquatic products were severely deficient, with scores of 0(0,1.74), 0(0,2.37), 0(0,9.85), respectively; excessive intake of meat was found, with a dietary index score of 0(0,2.46). The stratified analysis showed that children and adolescents aged 11-13 years had the highest total dietary scores[65.35(54.29,72.03)], followed by those aged 7-10 years[63.46(56.19,72.63)], while the 14-17 year old age group had the lowest scores[59.07(51.15,68.30), H=32.23, P <0.01]. Girls had higher total dietary scores than that of boys[64.20(56.12,72.56), 59.32(52.60,69.72), Z=-5.16, P <0.01], while urban children and adolescents had higher total dietary scores than rural children and adolescents[65.30(54.84,73.62), 62.17(54.31,70.70), Z=-2.11, P <0.05]. Furthermore, higher total dietary index scores were observed among children and adolescents whose parents had a higher educational level( H=27.68, 22.58, P <0.01). The comparison of ethnic groups revealed that the Wa children and adolescents had the highest total dietary index scores, while the Hani children had the lowest( H=27.51, P <0.01). Conclusion The overall dietary quality of children and adolescents in Yunnan Province is not high, the imbalance of dietary nutrition is prominent, and the dietary structure needs to be adjusted and optimized. Intervention programs should focus on the problem of insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables, milk and legumes, aquatic products and excessive intake of poultry meat among children and adolescents.

Objective: To understand different types of depression and anxiety among primary and secondary school students, as well as their influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for the development of future intervention programs for adolescent mental health. Methods: From December 2022 to February 2023, a self administered questionnaire survey was administered among grades 4 to 6 students and junior school, senior school students in Yixing City using Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Family Environment Scale (FES), and modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0), Ottawa Self injury Inventory (OSI). A total of 4 180 students were included in the analysis. Different types of depression and anxiety in students and their influencing factors were analyzed by the Chi squaretest and multivariate Logistic regression. Results: The overall prevalence of depression and anxiety among primary and secondary school students were 16.6% and 22.4%, respectively, with 14.0% of depression and anxiety comorbidities. The Logistic regression results showed that, compared to students with low depression-low anxiety, students of depression and anxiety who had parents in conflicts ( OR =3.06), smoked ( OR =3.16), exhibited moderate food addiction ( OR =3.56), and had non suicidal self injury (NSSI) ( OR =2.26) were more likely to be classified as a depression predominant-depression anxiety type. Students of depression and anxiety who consumed alcohol ( OR =2.00), had serious food addiction ( OR =5.44), moderate to severe insomnia ( OR =3.25), and mild insomnia ( OR =1.88) were more likely to be classified as anxiety predominant-depression anxiety type. Students of depression and anxiety with low mood ( OR =10.87), mild food addiction ( OR =2.00), moderate food addiction ( OR =4.32), and severe food addiction ( OR =7.35), mild ( OR =2.96) or moderate to severe ( OR =16.52) insomnia, and NSSI ( OR =4.24) were more likely to be classified as the severe depression anxiety type( P < 0.05 ). Conclusions There are significant differences between different depression-anxiety types among primary and secondary school students with respect to food addiction, insomnia, NSSI, smoking, and alcohol use. Relevant departments should engage with schools and families to adopt targeted interventions for students to reduce the occurrence of mental health problems.
