Objective To compare the image quality of portal venous system in the patients with live cirrhosis and portal hyper-tension using two different inj ection methods,so as to investigate the optimization of imaging techniques.Methods Single-phase in-jection (group A)or biphasic injection (group B)was applied by random on 40 patients for portal venous system vascular imaging, and subsequently image quality and technical advantages between the two groups were compared and analyzed respectively.Results 1.There was no significant difference in image quality between the two groups(P>0.05),while contrast agent dosage (90 mL)in group B is less than group A(100 mL).2.The CT value of Portal vein,liver parenchyma and P-L discrepancy in group B were slightly lower than those in group A,however,no statistical difference was noted(P>0.05).After 45 second,the P-L discrepancy of group B was larger than that of group A.The peak times of portal vein,liver parenchyma and the P-L discrepancy in group B were longer than those in group A(P<0.05).3.The graph of P-L discrepancy demonstrated:the threshold interval of P-L discrep-ancy in group B was longer than that in group A.Conclusion Biphasic inj ection methods could not only afford reliable imaging quali-ty on portal venous system vascular imaging in the patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension,but also lead to a less total dose of contrast agent.Therefore,it could be used as an optimal choice of imaging technology for portal venous system vascular ima-ging.

Objective:
To investigate the status of overweight and obesity and associated factors among primary and middle school students in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into formulating the prevention and control strategies for overweight and obesity in students.
Methods:
Primary and middle school students from 5 counties (cities, districts) of Huzhou City were selected by using stratified cluster random sampling method from September to November, 2023. The general information, dietary habits and exercise behaviors were collected using the Student Health Status and Influencing Factors Questionnaire. Height and weight were measured, and body mass index was used to analyze overweight and obesity in primary and middle school students. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of overweight and obesity.
Results:
A total of 7 573 students were surveyed, including 3 791 males (50.06%) and 3 782 females (49.94%). There were 2 754 primary school students (36.37%), 2 744 junior high school students (36.23%) and 2 075 senior high school students (27.40%). There were 2 166 students with overweight and obesity (28.60%), 1 186 students with overweight (15.66%), and 980 students with obesity (12.94%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender (female, OR=0.546, 95%CI: 0.493-0.604), frequency of sweetened beverage consumption (once and more per day, OR=1.349, 95%CI: 1.102-1.650), and frequency of milk and milk products consumption (less than once per day, OR=0.742, 95%CI: 0.577-0.954) were the influencing factors for overweight and obesity in primary and middle school students.
Conclusion
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students in Huzhou City is 28.60%, and is associated with gender, frequency of sweetened beverages and milk and milk products consumption.

Objective To study the mechanism of RING finger protein 34 ( RNF34 ) involved in innate immunity . Methods Recombinant PCR was used and transient expression of the plasmid was achieved in HEK 293T cells.The cells were stimulated with Sendai virus ( SeV) or N-RIG-Ⅰfor the indicated time while luciferase activity was observed using the dual-luciferase reporter assay kit .Results We constructed the plasmid pcDNA 3-Flag-RNF34 and its three mutations .The study found that when stimulated by SeV , RNF34 could inhibit the activity of NF-κB and IFN-βmore significantly than RNF34-ΔFYVE, RNF34-ΔCID and RNF34-ΔRING.We also found that RNF 34 and its three mutants had similar inhibitory effect when the activation of NF-κB and IFN-βwas stimulated by the N-RIG-Ⅰ.Conclusion RNF34 negatively regulates innate immunity by acting on the RIG-Ⅰ-MAVS signaling pathway .

Objective:
To investigate the role of gut microbiota in the amelioration of liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 in mice by 3-methyladenine (3-MA).
Methods:
Fifteen mice were randomly divided into normal control group, liver fibrosis group and 3-MA treatment group. The liver fibrosis model was established by injecting CCl4, and the mice in the 3-MA treatment group were injected 3-MA additionally from the third week onwards. After 8 weeks, all of the mice were sacrificed and their blood, liver tissue and fecal samples were collected to analyze serum ALT, AST, GGT levels, liver histopathology and gut microbiota.
Results:
Compared with the liver fibrosis group, serum ALT and AST levels in 3-MA treatment group decreased obviously ([68.6±4.2] U/L vs [111.0±7.8] U/L, [179.0±12.9] U/L vs [253.2±26.7] U/L, P<0.01), and the degree of hepatic histopathological changes was reduced. The intestinal flora in three groups were distinguished by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis. Compared with the normal control group, there were decreased Alpha diversity of intestinal community, reduced significantly abundance of Lachnospiraceae, and increased obviously abundance of Actinobacteria and Desulfovibrionacea in the liver fibrosis group (P<0.05). Compared with the liver fibrosis group, there were increased Alpha diversity of intestinal community, increased significantly abundance of Lachnospiraceae and Blautia, and reduced abundance of Bifidobacteriaceae in the 3-MA treatment group (P<0.05). In addition, the abundance of Lactobacillaceae in the 3-MA treatment group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion
3-MA improves the liver fibrosis of mice induced by CCl4, and gut microbiota may play an active role in this process.

OBJECTIVE:To study the prot ective effects of crocin (CR)against triptolide (TP)-induced visceral organ injury in mice,and to provide reference for the studying TP compatibility and detoxification. METHODS :Fifty mice were randomly divided into normal group ,TP low-dose and high-dose groups (i.e. TP-L group ,TP-H group ,with 300,600 μg/kg),TP low-dose and high dose combined with CR groups (i.e. TP-L+CR group ,TP-H+CR group ,with 300 μg/kg TP+100 mg/kg CR ,600 μg/kg TP+ 100 mg/kg CR ),with 10 mice in each group. Except for normal group ,other groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically , once a day ,for consecutive 7 d. The body weight of mice was weighted every day ,and their death was recorded. After last administration,the mice were sacrificed ,and the heart ,liver,kidney and testis were taken ,and the organ index was calculated ; serum levels of ALT ,AST,BUN and Scr ,the activity of T-SOD and the contents of MDA were all determined. The pathological changes of heart ,liver,kidney and testis were observed ;mRNA expression of Bcl- 2,Bax and caspase- 3 in liver tissue were determined. RESULTS :Three,five,two and three mice in TP-L group ,TP-H group ,TP-L+CR group and TP-H+CR group died respectively,and the survival rates were 70%,50%,80% and 70%,respectively. Compared with normal group ,the body weight (7th day of experiment ),heart index ,liver index ,kidney index (except for TP-L group ),testicular index ,T-SOD activity and mRNA expression of Bcl- 2 in liver tissue ,serum levels of ALT (except for TP-L group ),AST(except for TP-L group ),BUN and Scr,MDA content and mRNA expression of Bax ,mRNA expression of caspase- 3 in liver tissue were increased significantly (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). There were obvious pathological changes in heart ,liver,kidney and testis tissue. Compared with the same dose of TP alone group ,the above indexes of TP combined with CR group were improved in varying degrees. Except for the renal index and serum ALT level of TP-L+CR group ,there was statistical significance for all indexes (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the pathological injuries of heart ,liver,kidney and testis were significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS :CR can relieve the damage of heart , liver,kidney and testis induced by TP ,which may be related to the antioxidant stress of CR.
