As a key member of the insulin-like growth factor family， insulin-like growth factor-‍Ⅰ （IGF-‍Ⅰ） is mainly synthesized in the liver and is widely distributed in the human body， and it is involved in the physiological processes such as cell proliferation， differentiation， metabolism， and apoptosis. Studies have shown that the level of IGF-‍Ⅰ is negatively correlated with the severity of liver cirrhosis， and IGF-‍Ⅰ mainly affects the progression of liver cirrhosis by inhibiting liver fibrosis， promoting DNA damage repair， and regulating lipid metabolism. Monitoring of IGF-‍Ⅰ level is expected to provide an evaluation indicator for improving the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis， and stimulating the action pathway of IGF-‍Ⅰ or regulating its expression level may become a new method for the treatment of liver cirrhosis. This article reviews the research advances in IGF-‍Ⅰ in liver cirrhosis， in order to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis.

Abstract To analyzes the characteristics, problems and enlightenment of physical activity observation tools, so as to provide reference for researchers to quickly and accurately choose appropriate observation tools to evaluate children s and adolescents physical activity. Literature search is conducted in eight databases of Chinese and English, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, ERIC, and SPORTDiscus. Ultimately, eight observation tools for assessing physical activity in children and adolescents are included. Through summarization and comparison, it is found that the applications of those tools cover multiple age groups, the observation indicators cover multiple dimensions for each with varying emphases, and the applicable contexts vary in their specific background information, and recording methods tend to be quantitative. However, several issues remain to be addressed in practical applications. First, the observation indicators need to be supplemented and improved; second, physical activity in community environments and academic classrooms requires further attention; third, physical activity intensity needs to be scientifically evaluated; fourth, observation and recording methods need to be integrated and innovated; fifth, the number of observation subjects needs to be expanded. Future research could focus on developing observation tools tailored to the characteristics of Chinese children and adolescents, while drawing on foreign observation tools to comprehensively assess physical activity among children and adolescents.

In order to explore effective ways to reduce non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among female adolescents, a total of 45 female adolescent patients with NSSI in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Guizhou Second Provincial People's Hospital from June 2021 to June 2024 were selected randomly that divided into groups A, B and C, with 15 cases in each group. Group A was treated with repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and bipolar depression triple therapy, and group B was treated with bipolar depression triple therapy to compare the effectiveness and safety. Group C received bipolar depression triple therapy combined with sham stimulation which only produced stimulating sounds but no stimulating magnetic field as a control in the study. After treatment, the Hamilton Anxiety Score (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Score (HAMD) and Nurses' Global Assessment of Suicide Risk (NGASR) in group A were significantly lower than those in group B and C ( P < 0.01). rTMS combined with bipolar depression triple therapy has a definite effect on reducing NSSI in female adolescents, which can reduce the incidence rate of short-term NSSI behavior in patients.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the urinary system. There are a large number of bladder cancer patients globally, concentrated in the middle-aged and old-aged population, and some of them are first diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer or metastatic bladder cancer, with a poor prognosis. In China, bladder cancer has become one of the most important tumors of the urinary system, with its incidence and mortality increasing year by year. The susceptibility of bladder cancer is affected by a combination of environmental and genetic factors, similar to the global trend. Smoking is considered to be one of the most important environmental risk factors for bladder cancer, which is closely related to the pathogenesis of bladder cancer and is one of the major public health problems in China. In terms of genetics, previous studies have shown that polymorphisms in cell cycle regulatory genes, tumor angiogenesis regulatory genes, DNA damage repair genes, and carcinogen metabolism enzyme regulatory genes can significantly affect the risk of bladder cancer in individuals. In recent years, with the development of environmental genomics research, the joint effect of smoking and gene variants on the susceptibility to bladder cancer has also received widespread attention. Exploring the joint effects will help to identify potential susceptibility biomarkers of bladder cancer and provide an important theoretical basis for its prevention and control. In this review, the joint effects of smoking and gene variants on bladder cancer susceptibility were elaborated.

Influenza imposes a significant disease burden on society and individuals annually, and influenza vaccination is considered a significant public health measure to prevent influenza and reduce influenza-related severe disease and death. The low influenza vaccination rate in China is partly due to certain factors affecting the willingness and behavior of individuals to receive them. Scientific research and targeted interventions on these factors can effectively improve the vaccination situation. Commonly used individual-level theoretical models for influenza vaccination behavior include the health belief model, protection motivation theory, and theory of planned behavior. This study reviews theoretical models commonly employed in researching influenza vaccination willingness and behavior. An overview of these practical applications and challenges models is presented to provide references for relevant research and intervention programs in China.

Objective To investigate the key elements for model establishment and determine the evaluation indicators of animal models for pelvic inflammatory disease(PID),providing a reference for improving modelling methods and optimizing the application of PID animal models.Methods The search query"Pelvic Inflammatory Disease"AND"Animal Model"OR"Rat"OR"Mouse"OR"Guinea Pig"OR"Rabbit"OR"Dog"OR"Pig"was used to retrieve relevant literature on PID animal models published from 2013 to 2023 in China Knowledge Network Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang,and PubMed databases.The studies were analyzed and categorized based on experimental animal types,modelling methods,modelling cycles,detection indicators,positive control drugs,and administration duration.A database was established for statistical analysis.Results A total of 214 research articles on PID animal models meeting the inclusion criteria were identified.The most commonly used model animals are Sprague Dawley(SD)rats,followed by Wistar rats.The most frequently employed modelling method is a combination of mechanical injury and bacterial infection,followed by the phenol mucilage method.The most common modelling cycles for acute pelvic inflammatory disease(APID)and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease(CPID)/sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease(SPID)are 8 to 14 days,while for PID models without specific staging,the cycles are 7 days.High-frequency detection methods and indicators include histopathological observation using hematoxylin-eosin staining,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)for serum-related indicators,morphological changes of tissues observed with the naked eye,and immunohistochemical detection of related protein expression in uterine tissues,and pathological scoring.The most frequently used positive control drugs are Fuke Qianjin Tablets,followed by Jingangteng Capsules.The most common administration duration for APID is 7 days,and for CPID/SPID models,it ranges from 15 to 21 days.Conclusion Currently,SD rats and Wistar rats are commonly used as experimental animals for PID models.The dual modelling method of mechanical injury combined with mixed bacterial infection aligns closely with clinical pathogenesis and can be used to establish a PID model that simulates postoperative uterine cavity infection.Depending on the research objectives,different positive drugs and detection indicators should be selected for comprehensive evaluation.Most existing PID animal model studies are based on western medical diagnosis,with fewer studies focusing on Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)syndromes.There is a need to integrate TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis to construct PID animal models that are more in line with TCM clinical symptoms.

Background::With an increasing proportion of multiparas, proper interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) are urgently needed. However, the association between IPIs and adverse perinatal outcomes has always been debated. This study aimed to explore the association between IPIs and adverse outcomes in different fertility policy periods and for different previous gestational ages.Methods::We used individual data from China’s National Maternal Near Miss Surveillance System between 2014 and 2019. Multivariable Poisson models with restricted cubic splines were used. Each adverse outcome was analyzed separately in the overall model and stratified models. The stratified models included different categories of fertility policy periods (2014–2015, 2016–2017, and 2018–2019) and infant gestational age in previous pregnancy (<28 weeks, 28–36 weeks, and ≥37 weeks).Results::There were 781,731 pregnancies enrolled in this study. A short IPI (≤6 months) was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR [95% CI]: 1.63 [1.55, 1.71] for vaginal delivery [VD] and 1.10 [1.03, 1.19] for cesarean section [CS]), low Apgar scores and small for gestational age (SGA), and a decreased risk of diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. A long IPI (≥60 months) was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR [95% CI]: 1.18 [1.11, 1.26] for VD and 1.39 [1.32, 1.47] for CS), placenta previa, postpartum hemorrhage, diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. Fertility policy changes had little effect on the association of IPIs and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The estimated risk of preterm birth, low Apgar scores, SGA, diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, and gestational hypertension was more profound among women with previous term births than among those with preterm births or pregnancy loss.Conclusion::For pregnant women with shorter or longer IPIs, more targeted health care measures during pregnancy should be formulated according to infant gestational age in previous pregnancy.

Lung cancer accounts for the highest proportion of cancer deaths in the world and poses a great threat to human health.About 30％to 40％of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is caused by point mutations,exon insertion and exon deletion of the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR).In addition to the common exon 19 deletion mutation and exon 21 L858R mutation,exon 18 G719X mutation,exon 21 L861Qmutation and exon 20 S768I mutation are the most important rare mutations.At present,the diagnostic methods for major rare mutations are mainly next-generation sequenc-ing(NGS),digital polymerase chain reaction(dPCR),droplet digital PCR(ddPCR),etc.Regarding the targeted therapy of G719X/L861Q/S768I mutant NSCLC,the first generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)have poor efficacy,while the second and third generation EGFR-TKIs have similar efficacy.The novel third generation EGFR-TKIs and combina-tion therapy show a good therapeutic prospect.This article summarized the progress in the diagnosis and targeted therapy of G719X/L861Q/S768I mutant NSCLC,so as to provide reference for subsequent clinical drug use and research.

OBJECTIVE To develop a population pharmacokinetic （PPK） model for mycophenolate mofetil active metabolite mycophenolic acid （MPA） in children with primary IgA nephropathy， explore the factors affecting the pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA， and provide a basis for clinical individualized therapy. METHODS Retrospective collection was conducted on 636 concentrations and clinical data from 47 pediatric patients with primary IgA nephropathy. PPK analysis was carried out by using the nonlinear mixed-effects model； the covariates were tested with a stepwise method. Goodness-of-fit plots， Bootstrap and visual predictive check were employed to evaluate the final model. RESULTS The pharmacokinetics of MPA in children with IgA nephropathy in vivo conformed to the first-order absorption and elimination two-compartment model （objective function value of 3 276.31）. Covariate analysis suggested that body weight and albumin （ALB） levels were significant influencing factors on apparent clearance rate and apparent distribution volume. The typical values of PPK parameters of MPA in the final model were as follows： the central room had a distributed volume of 5.79 L， the clearance rate was 4.06 L/h， the volume of peripheral ventricular distribution was 430.93 L， the clearance rate between compartments was 15.40 L/h， the oral absorption rate constant was 1.29 h－1. After verification， most of the predicted corrected observed concentration points were within the 90% confidence interval of the predicted corrected simulated concentration， indicating that the MPA final model had good predictive performance. CONCLUSIONS The PPK model of MPA in children with primary IgA nephropathy is established in this study， identifying body weight and ALB levels are significant factors affecting MPA metabolism.

Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) is a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disease.Pathogenic mutations in ALDH5A1 genes lead to abnormalities in the structure, activity and function of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, resulting in a series of neurological damage.Due to the rarity of SSADHD and the huge differences in its clinical manifestations, it often leads to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, and the treatment is mainly symptomatic.There is no specific drug or treatment.In March 2024, the SSADHD consensus group, composed of SSADHD researchers from 19 institutions in 11 countries and regions, released the " Consensus Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency" , which elaborates on the definition, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of SSADHD, aiming to standardize and unify the diagnosis and management of SSADHD.This article interprets the key contents of the guidelines, in order to provide guidance for the early screening, diagnosis and treatment of SSADHD in China.
