Skeletal muscle is one of the most important organs in animal, and the regulatory mechanism of skeletal muscle development is of great importance for the diagnosis of muscle-related diseases and the improvement of meat quality of livestock. The regulation of skeletal muscle development is a complex process, which is regulated by a large number of muscle secretory factors and signaling pathways. In addition, in order to maintain steady-state and maximum use of energy metabolism in the body, the body coordinates multiple tissues and organs to form the complex and sophisticated metabolic regulation network, which plays an important role for the regulation of skeletal muscle development. With the development of omics technologies, the underlying mechanism of tissue and organ communication has been deeply studied. This paper reviews the effects of crosstalk among adipose tissue, nerve tissue and intestinal tissue on skeletal muscle development, with the aim to provide a theoretical basis for targeted regulation of skeletal muscle development.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Shenling Guchang prescription on blood glucose of gestational diabetes mellitus rats by regulating intestinal flora and short chain fatty acids. MethodThe 30 pregnant rats were randomly selected from 36 pregnant rats which were successfully pregnant. The model rats were fed with high-fat and high-sugar diet for 1 week, and 35 mg·kg-1 streptozotocin ( STZ ) was given for 3 consecutive days to construct a gestational diabetes model. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into model group, metformin group, Shenling Guchang prescription low-, medium- and high-dose group. The high dose group of Shenling Guchang prescription was given 18 mg·kg-1, the middle dose group was given 9 mg·kg-1, the low dose group was given 4.5 mg·kg-1 drug solution by gavage, the metformin group was given 52.5 mg·kg-1 drug solution by gavage, the blank group and the model group were given equal volume of normal saline by gavage.At 24 h after the last administration, blood samples were collected from the tail tip of the rats to measure the blood glucose, and blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta under anesthesia to measure the levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and insulin (INS) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The intestinal tissue of rats was taken, and the pathological changes of intestinal tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Fecal samples were collected from rats, 16S rRNA sequencing was used to detect intestinal flora, and short-chain fatty acids were detected by gas chromatography. ResultCompared with the blank group, the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the model group was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the Shenling Guchang prescription groups and the metformin group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the levels of blood glucose, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, LPS, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the intestinal tissues had different degrees of inflammatory changes and mucosal damage. Compared with the model group, the levels of blood glucose, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, LPS, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in each group of Shenling Guchang prescription and metformin group were down-regulated (P<0.05), and intestinal inflammation and intestinal mucosal damage were improved. Compared with the blank group, the functional structure and diversity of intestinal flora in the model group changed (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the functional structure and diversity of intestinal flora in the Shenling Guchang prescription groups and the metformin group were reversed, and the trend was close to the blank group (P<0.05).Compared with the blank group, the abundance of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, Klebsiella, and Dustella in the model group was significantly increased, and the abundance of probiotics such as Prevotella, Prevotella, Akmania, Rombustella, and Lachnospiraceae was decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the abundance of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, Klebsiella, and Dustella was decreased (P<0.05), and the abundance of probiotic bacteria such as Prevotella, Akmanella, Rombustella, and Lachnospira was increased (P<0.05) in the Shenling Guchang prescription groups and the metformin group. Compared with the blank group, the content of short-chain fatty acids in the model group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the content of short-chain fatty acids in each group of Shenling Guchang prescription and metformin group increased (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that Proteobacteria was positively correlated with inflammatory factors, blood glucose and blood lipid in gestational diabetes mellitus (P<0.05). ConclusionShenling Guchang prescription has a good regulatory effect on blood glucose, blood lipids and adverse pregnancy outcomes in rats with gestational diabetes mellitus. Its efficacy is comparable to that of metformin sustained-release tablets. Its mechanism may be related to regulating the structure of intestinal flora, increasing the content of short-chain fatty acids, reducing LPS, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and improving intestinal inflammation.

To know the current status of family health and negative psychology of primary and secondary school students, and to explore the correlation between them during the prevention and control of COVID-19. From January 15 to 30, in 2022, a total of 19 343 urban and rural primary and secondary school students in X city were selected. The short form of the family health scale, center for epidemiologica survey-depression scale and student burnout inventory for junior middle school students were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. The Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the family health and negative psychology. The family health of primary and secondary school students is at the medium level or above, and more than half of students may/must be depressed. There are significant differences in study burnout in different learning stages and epidemic management in different places of residence. It is recommended that family members and schools staff should give more psychological and social support to primary and secondary school students to reduce the negative impact of COVID-19 on them.

BACKGROUND:
LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer.
METHODS:
We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels.
RESULTS:
On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]).
CONCLUSION:
LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile.
