Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of Gegen Qinlian decoction (GQD) on myocardial injury induced by high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin in type 2 diabetic mice through network pharmacology and animal experiments. MethodsNetwork pharmacology was applied to screen the potential signaling pathways of GQD in the intervention of diabetic heart disease (DHD). A total of 36 specific pathogen-free (SPF) male C57BL/6J mice aged 8 weeks were acclimatized for 1 week and randomly divided into a normal control group (n=6) and a model group (n=30). Mice in the model group were fed a 60% high-fat diet and 5% glucose water for 4 weeks, and were intraperitoneally injected with 100 mg/kg streptozotocin after 12 h of fasting to establish the type 2 diabetes model. Mice in the normal control group were given a conventional diet and drinking water, and were intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of citrate buffer after 12 h of fasting at the same time point. After successful establishment of the diabetic mouse model, the model mice were randomly divided into five groups according to body weight: model control group, GQD low-dose group, GQD medium-dose group, GQD high-dose group, and metformin positive control group, with 6 mice in each group. After 6 weeks of intragastric administration of corresponding doses of GQD, metformin, and ddH2O respectively, all mice in the six groups (one normal control group and five model groups) were anesthetized with inhaled 2% isoflurane, blood samples were collected via eyeball enucleation, and heart tissues were harvested after euthanasia by cardiac exsanguination. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining were performed to observe the pathological damage of myocardial tissues and measure the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum. Immunohistochemical staining was adopted to determine the protein expression levels of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing receptor 3 (NLRP3), and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB p65 (p-p65) in myocardial tissues. ResultsNetwork pharmacology analysis revealed that the targets of GQD against DHD were significantly enriched in inflammatory pathways, including the advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-RAGE axis, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathways. HE and WGA staining results showed that, compared with the normal control group, the model control group exhibited myocardial fiber rupture, cardiomyocyte swelling, and significantly increased cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area (P<0.05). Compared with the model control group, GQD intervention significantly ameliorated the pathological changes, including myocardial fiber rupture, cell swelling, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. The results of immunohistochemical staining and ELISA indicated that compared with the model control group, GQD intervention markedly downregulated the protein expression of RAGE, NLRP3, and p-p65 in myocardial tissues, as well as the levels of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines (P<0.05). ConclusionGQD can effectively alleviate myocardial pathological injury in diet-induced type 2 diabetic mice, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of the RAGE/p-p65/NLRP3 signaling pathway and reducing myocardial inflammatory response.

Objective:
To understand the moderating effect of cohabitation with parents on the association between peer dating behavior and sexual behaviors among secondary vocational school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for preventing sexual behaviors among secondary vocational school students.
Methods:
From March to April 2021, an electronic questionnaire survey was conducted among 3 180 students from 6 vocational schools in Shanghai (urban, suburban, exurban) and Shaanxi (Shangluo, Ankang, Baoji) using cluster sampling. Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship of cohabitation with parents, peer dating behavior and sexual behaviors among secondary vocational school students. Binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the role of cohabitation with parents on peer dating behavior and sexual behaviors among secondary vocational students.
Results:
There was a significant negative between cohabitation with parents and sexual ( r =-0.04); and there was a positive correlation between peer dating behavior and sexual behaviors ( r =0.24), as well as cohabitation with parents and peer dating behavior ( r =0.04)( P <0.05). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed an association between peer dating behavior and the occurrence of sexual behaviors ( OR=2.79-12.95, P <0.05). Cohabitation with parents played a moderating role in the association between peer dating behavior and sexual behaviors, and a signification interaction was found between cohabitation with parents and reporting that a small part or about half of their peers had dating behavior ( OR =0.48, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The more peers dating behavior are associated with a higher risk of sexual behaviors among secondary vocational school students, and cohabitation with parents can partly reduce this risk. School and family sexuality education for secondary vocational students should be strengthened to improve their interpersonal skills and decision-making, and ability to resist peer pressure, so as to reduce their risk of sexual behaviors.

Pediatric tumors differ significantly from adult cancers, possessing unique developmental origins, histological features, and molecular genetic changes. With the rapid advancement of multi-omics technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenetic analyses, the molecular characteristics of pediatric tumors have been extensively revealed, providing new possibilities for precision medicine. Concurrently, the integration of artificial intelligence and digital pathology has effectively enhanced diagnostic accuracy, presenting a broad scope for future development. While this progress positively impacts the pathological diagnosis of pediatric tumors, it also presents challenges related to data complexity, technology integration, and the promotion of clinical applications. This article aims to discuss the influence of molecular and artificial intelligence, as well as multimodal integrated pathological models on diagnosis and prognostic prediction of pediatric tumor, with the goal of fostering further exploration and in-depth research.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists(GLP-1RAs) on the emotional behaviors in wild-type mice and explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods:The study consisted of two parts.(1) Drug effect evaluation: C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to saline, semaglutide, or liraglutide groups. After 4 weeks of continuous subcutaneous administration, anxiety-like behaviors were evaluated by the open field tests and elevated plus maze, and depression-like behaviors were assessed by the forced swimming test and tail suspension test. Neurotransmitter levels, including NE, DA, 5-HT, GABA, and glutamate, were measured in target brain regions using LC-MS/MS. Hypothalamic activation subregions were identified by c-fos immunohistochemistry.(2) Time-course analysis: Mice received short-term administration(2 weeks), long-term administration(4 weeks), or drug withdrawal(assessed 4 weeks post-withdrawal). Behavioral performance, hypothalamic neurotransmitter levels, and plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone were measured.Results:Compared with the saline group, both GLP-1RAs significantly prolonged immobility time in the forced swimming and tail suspension tests. Multiple brain regions exhibited neurotransmitter abnormalities, including marked reductions in hypothalamic norepinephrine, dopamine, and γ-aminobutyric acid levels. Both GLP-1RAs significantly increased c-fos positive cell counts in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. Time-course analysis revealed that short-term administration did not induce depressive phenotypes, whereas long-term administration led to depression-like behaviors, which recovered after drug withdrawal. Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone levels were elevated even after short-term treatment and remained high after drug withdrawal, while hypothalamic neurotransmitter abnormalities normalized upon withdrawal.Conclusion:GLP-1RAs induce depression-like behaviors in a time-dependent manner, with neurotransmitter imbalance and persistent hyperactivation of the HPA axis likely contributing to the pathophysiological mechanism.
