Saponins associated with Panax notoginseng (P. notoginseng) demonstrate significant therapeutic efficacy across multiple diseases. However, certain high-yield saponins face limited clinical applications due to their reduced pharmacological efficacy. This study synthesized and evaluated 36 saponin-1,2,3-triazole derivatives of ginsenosides Rg1/Rb1 and notoginsenoside R1 for anti-adipogenesis activity in vitro. The research revealed that the ginsenosides Rg1-1,2,3-triazole derivative a17 demonstrates superior adipogenesis inhibitory effects. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) analysis indicates that incorporating an amidyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazole into the saponin side chain via Click reaction enhances anti-adipogenesis activity. Additionally, several other derivatives exhibit general adipogenesis inhibition. Compound a17 demonstrated enhanced potency compared to the parent ginsenoside Rg1. Mechanistic investigations revealed that a17 exhibits dose-dependent inhibition of adipogenesis in vitro, accompanied by decreased expression of preadipocytes. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) adipogenesis regulators. These findings establish the ginsenoside Rg1-1,2,3-triazole derivative a17 as a promising adipocyte differentiation inhibitor and potential therapeutic agent for obesity and associated metabolic disorders. This research provides a foundation for developing effective therapeutic approaches for various metabolic syndromes.

Objective: To explore the facilitating and hindering factors of mental health promotion activities in junior and senior high schools from teachers perspectives, as well as coping strategies, so as to provide evidence for implementing teacher led mental health promotion programs. Methods: From September 2023 to September 2024, by using purposive sampling method, 5 junior high schools, 5 regular high schools, 2 vocational high schools in four provinces and municipalities (Tianjin, Shanxi, Shandong, and Jiangxi) were selected. A total of 92 teachers (78 homeroom teachers and 14 full time or part time psychological counselors) were interviewed using semi structured focus group discussions (one session per school, totaling 12 sessions). Thematic analysis was applied to code and analyze the interview transcripts. Results: The implementation of mental health promotion activities in middle schools was influenced by three levels: teachers, schools and society. Specifically, teachers exhibited a high support low capability phenomenon (81 participants supported conducting such activities, but 71 felt lacking in professional capacity); activity effectiveness and support systems were imbalanced (42 mentioned significant effects, while 78 reported insufficient support); there was a mismatch between student demand and activity content (9 mentioned students had psychological needs, but 11 indicated existing activities failed to meet these needs); administrative support and sustainability showed disparities (14 believed sufficient administrative support existed, while 37 noted sustainability issues); parental awareness and participation remained inadequate (11 highlighted parents need for mental health knowledge, and 37 perceived insufficient understanding of psychological issues among parents). Effective strategies included enhancing teachers effectiveness, providing essential skill training, focusing on the needs of teenagers,enhancing program sustainability, and eliminating misconceptions about mental health among parents. Conclusion Mental health promotion activities in junior and senior high schools should focus on enhancing teachers skills, improving activity sustainability, reducing stigma among parents, and establishing a collaborative network for school based mental health promotion.

Objective To investigate the mechanism underlying the neuroprotective effect of linarin(LIN)against microglia activation-mediated inflammation and neuronal apoptosis following spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods Fifty C57BL/6J mice(8-10 weeks old)were randomized to receive sham operation,SCI and linarin treatment at 12.5,25,and 50 mg/kg following SCI(n=10).Locomotor function recovery of the SCI mice was assessed using the Basso Mouse Scale,inclined plane test,and footprint analysis,and spinal cord tissue damage and myelination were evaluated using HE and LFB staining.Nissl staining,immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting were used to observe surviving anterior horn motor neurons in injured spinal cord tissue.In cultured BV2 cells,the effects of linarin against lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced microglia activation,inflammatory factor release and signaling pathway changes were assessed with immunofluorescence staining,Western blotting,RT-qPCR,and ELISA.In a BV2 and HT22 cell co-culture system,Western blotting was performed to examine the effect of linarin against HT22 cell apoptosis mediated by LPS-induced microglia activation.Results Linarin treatment significantly improved locomotor function(P<0.05),reduced spinal cord damage area,increased spinal cord myelination,and increased the number of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the SCI mice(P<0.05).In both SCI mice and cultured BV2 cells,linarin effectively inhibited glial cell activation and suppressed the release of iNOS,COX-2,TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β,resulting also in reduced neuronal apoptosis in SCI mice(P<0.05).Western blotting suggested that linarin-induced microglial activation inhibition was mediated by inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.In the cell co-culture experiments,linarin treatment significantly decreased inflammation-mediated apoptosis of HT22 cells(P<0.05).Conclusion The neuroprotective effect of linarin is medicated by inhibition of microglia activation via suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway,which mitigates neural inflammation and reduce neuronal apoptosis to enhance motor function of the SCI mice.

Objective:To analyze the detection of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the multiple corresponding relationships of its risk factors in a middle-aged and young adult population undergoing health check-ups.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study conducted on 15 423 individuals aged between 18 and 59 who underwent health check-ups at the Health Management Center of Henan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to December 2021. Relevant health examination data was collected, including basic information (age, gender, past medical history, smoking and alcohol consumption), physical examination, laboratory indicators such as blood lipids and blood glucose, and abdominal ultrasound results. The chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of NAFLD among different characteristics of the population, and multiple correspondence analysis was employed for statistical analysis of related influencing factors.Results:A total of 5 859 cases of NAFLD were detected in this study, with a detection rate of 37.99%. The detection rate of NAFLD gradually increased with age ( χ2=828.841, P<0.001) and body mass index (BMI) ( χ2=1 889.809, P<0.001). The detection rates of NAFLD were higher in individuals with hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia, and hyperuricemia compared to those without these conditions ( χ2 value was 1 223.673, 364.808, 444.074, 2 436.765, 1 323.736, 591.478, and 943.069, respectively, all P<0.001). Multiple correspondence analysis revealed that NAFLD was closely related to hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, diabetes, hyperuricemia, overweight, obesity, and the age group of 45-49 years. Correspondence analysis graphs for males and females showed associations between NAFLD and hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia, overweight, and obesity. In males, NAFLD was closely related to the age group of 35-49 years, while in females, it was closely associated with the age group of 45-49 years and diabetes. Conclusions:The detection rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is relatively high in middle-aged and young adult populations. Males, those who are overweight or obese, and individuals with hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia, or abnormal blood lipids are more susceptible to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of the Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway in the intervention of medicated serum of Buyang Huanwutang （BYHWT） in endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition （EndMT） of human pulmonary artery endothelial cells （HPAECs） as well as its related mechanisms. MethodMedicated serum of BYHWT was prepared by gavage to New Zealand rabbits with a dosage of 53.36 g·kg^-1·d^-1 after decocting the medicine as usual. In addition， the same volume of normal saline was used to prepare blank serum. The HPAECs were cultured in vitro， and then induced by the transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁） to establish the EndMT model. Five groups were established： blank group （10% blank serum）， model group （TGF-β₁+10% blank serum）， low-dose BYHWT group （TGF-β₁+2.5% medicated serum+7.5% blank serum）， medium-dose BYHWT group （TGF-β₁+5% medicated serum+5% blank serum） and high-dose BYHWT group （TGF-β₁+10% medicated serum）. Through Western blot， the expressions of Wnt1， β-catenin， and glycogen synthase kinase-3β （GSK-3β） were detected. In order to further clarify the mechanism of the Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway in the intervention of the medicated serum of BYHWT in inhibiting EndMT， the overexpression of β-catenin was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction after plasmid of overexpression β-catenin was constructed and transfected into the HPAECs. The HPAECs were intervened by 10% medicated serum with the optimal effect in previous studies. Then， they were divided into another five groups： the blank group （10% blank serum）， the model group （TGF-β₁+10% blank serum）， the BYHWT group （TGF-β₁+10% medicated serum）， the BYHWT+overexpression plasmid control group （TGF-β₁+10% medicated serum+blank plasmid） and the BYHWT+β-catenin overexpression plasmid group （TGF-β₁+10% medicated serum+β-catenin）. Apart from that， cell proliferation ability was detected by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） method and cell migration ability by scratch assay and Transwell assay together. Immunofluorescence was adopted to detect the expressions of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule （PECAM-1/CD31）， vascular endothelial cadherin （VE-cadherin）， fibroblast-specific protein 1 （FSP1）， and α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）. ResultIn comparison to the blank group， the expressions of Wnt1 and β-catenin were significantly increased （P<0.01） while the expression of GSK-3β significantly decreased （P<0.01） in the model group. In comparison to the model group， the expressions of Wnt1 and β-catenin were significantly decreased （P<0.01） while the expression of GSK-3β was significantly increased （P<0.01） in the high-dose BYHWT group. The expression of β-catenin was significantly decreased （P<0.01） while the expression of GSK-3β was significantly increased （P<0.01） in the medium-dose BYHWT group. There was no significant difference in these indexes of the low-dose BYHWT group. In comparison to the blank group， proliferation and migration abilities were remarkably increased （P<0.01） and the immunofluorescence intensities of CD31 and VE-cadherin were decreased， while those of FSP1 and α-SMA were increased in the model group. In comparison to the model group， proliferation and migration abilities were significantly decreased （P<0.01） and the immunofluorescence intensities of CD31 and VE-cadherin were increased， while those of FSP1 and α-SMA diminished in the BYHWT group. Beyond that， the change trend of those indexes in the BYHWT+β-catenin overexpression plasmid group was consistent with that in the model group. In comparison to the BYHWT+overexpression plasmid control group， proliferation and migration abilities were significantly increased （P<0.01） and the immunofluorescence intensities of CD31 and VE-cadherin were decreased， while those of FSP1 and α-SMA were increased in the BYHWT+β-catenin overexpression plasmid group. ConclusionMedicated serum of BYHWT can inhibit EndMT of HPAECs by the Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the short-term efficacy on 3D printing assisted reconstruction of traumatic digit joint defects using rib and costo-osteochondral autograft.Methods:From August 2022 to July 2023, 7 patients with open digit joint defects had undergone emergency primary debridement and fracture fixation in the Department of Orthopaedics, 988th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA. Patients with more phalangeal defects that could not be aligned were treated with antibiotic bone cement filling in the emergency surgery. In the second stage surgery, bone cement was removed and transfer of rib cartilage graft was performed to reconstruct the digit joint defect. According to a 1∶1 3D printed hand templates, rib cartilage grafts were crafted to the shape of digit joints, and then spliced together the digit joints and bone defects for fixation. Follow-up X-ray examinations were taken and assessment of the healing status of rib and fractures of phalangeal and metacarpophalangeal bones were carried out according to the Paley fracture healing score. At the outpatient follow-up, assessment of transferred joint movement and evaluation of upper limb function were conducted according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scores were evaluated from the affected digits and donor sites.Results:After reconstructive surgery, all 7 patients had primary healing of the wounds of hand. One patient had fat liquefaction at the donor site, and the rest had primary donor site healing. One patient received further surgery for extensor tendon repair after rib cartilage grafting due to the digital extensor tendon injury. All 7 patients were included in postoperative follow-up for 6-11 months, with an average of 9 months. All patients had excellent fracture healing according to the Paley fracture healing score. At the final follow-up, the extension and flexion of the digit joints were found at 40°-80° (average 56.2°) for proximal interphalangeal joints (4 patients), and 10° in extension and 85° in flexion for metacarpophalangeal joint (1 patient). The range of motion of the thumb interphalangeal joint (2 patients) was 20°-35° (average 27.5°). Hand function was assessed according to Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association and it was found that 3 patients were in excellent, 3 in good and 1 in fair.Conclusion:This study focused on the treatment of traumatic digit joint defects by transfer of individually crafted rib cartilages in reconstruction of the defected digit joint. It significantly improves the appearance and function of the defected digit joints, especially suitable for the irregular defects of phalangeal bones.
