Objective: To understand the current status of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students and explore its related factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for improving their mental health. Methods: From September to December 2024, a convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 5 141 secondary vocational school students from 16 schools across 8 provinces and municipalities (Fujian, Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang). A self designed questionnaire was used to collect data on students demographic characteristics and lifestyle behaviors. The Multidimensional Sub health Questionnaire of Adolescents was adopted to assess psychological sub health status. Multivariate binary Logistic stepwise regression analysis was performed to explore the related factors of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students. Results: The detection rate of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students was 11.0%, with detection rates of emotional problems, conduct problems, and social adaptation difficulty being 12.3 %, 12.5%, and 9.5%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that boys and students whose fathers had an educational level of primary school or below, and junior high school, had relatively lower risks of developing psychological sub health or emotional problems, conduct problems, and social adaptation difficulty ( OR =0.55-0.64, all P <0.05). Conversely, students with urban household registration, those with left behind experience, those with poor self rated family economic status, those from other family structures, those classified as overweight and obesity, and those with sleep disorders, frequent consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, frequent consumption of takeout/delivery food, smoking, alcohol consumption, and low to moderate physical activity levels exhibited significantly higher risks across psychological sub health or emotional problems,conduct problems, and social adaptation difficulty ( OR =1.25-4.79, all P <0.05). Conclusions The psychological sub health condition of secondary vocational school students should not be neglected. Psychological sub health of secondary vocational school students is related to multiple factors such as demographic characteristics and lifestyle behaviors. Multi dimensional intervention measures should be implemented to improve their mental health.

Definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) has become a cornerstone in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal cancer; however, local control remains suboptimal, and persistent lesions or locoregional recurrences after treatment are not uncommon. For patients without distant metastases but with local failure, whether surgical intervention can still offer curative potential remains a major clinical dilemma. Salvage esophagectomy (SE) offers potential long-term survival for selected patients, but this procedure is performed in the context of severe fibrosis, impaired local blood supply, and obscured anatomical planes following chemoradiotherapy, resulting in significantly higher perioperative risk compared to primary esophagectomy. Consequently, controversies exist regarding patient selection, preoperative restaging, choice of surgical approach, extent of lymphadenectomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction, and perioperative management. In recent years, with the refinement of restaging modalities such as PET/CT, the accumulation of experience in high-volume centers, and emerging evidence from clinical studies, the clinical role of SE has gradually shifted from a "high-risk salvage measure" to a "selective curative strategy aimed at achieving long-term survival in carefully selected patients". Nevertheless, standardized guidelines for patient selection, technical approaches, and perioperative management are still lacking. Based on current evidence and clinical experience, experts organized by the Integrated Esophageal Cancer Committee of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association systematically reviewed key issues regarding SE, including its definition, indications, preoperative evaluation, choice of surgical approach, lymphadenectomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction, and perioperative management, and formulated a Chinese expert consensus. This consensus aims to provide guidance for standardized assessment, appropriate referral, individualized surgical decision-making, and optimized perioperative management of patients with locoregional failure after dCRT. Ultimately, this will increase the likelihood of R0 resection, reduce the risk of severe complications, and promote the safer, more judicious, and standardized implementation of SE in high-risk scenarios.

[摘 要] 目的：探讨含溴结构域蛋白1（BRD1）通过调控PI3K/AKT信号通路影响非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）进展的作用机制。方法：利用TIMER 3.0数据库评估BRD1作为免疫治疗标志物的预测价值。利用慢病毒体系构建稳定过表达BRD1及N端截短突变体BRD1-ΔN的人肺癌细胞A549和NCI-H1299。采用CCK-8实验、克隆形成实验、划痕愈合实验及Transwell实验检测过表达BRD1/BRD1-ΔN对细胞增殖和迁移能力的影响；流式细胞术和Western blotting检测细胞凋亡水平及凋亡相关蛋白的变化。RNA-seq筛选受BRD1/BRD1-ΔN影响的信号通路，Western blotting及体外激酶实验验证BRD1/BRD1-ΔN过表达对AKT磷酸化的调控作用。采用AKT抑制剂LY294002处理过表达BRD1/BRD1-ΔN的NCI-H1299细胞，结合功能实验（CCK-8实验、划痕愈合实验）明确过表达BRD1/BRD1-ΔN促进细胞的增殖和迁移是否依赖AKT活化。通过RNA-seq联合KEGG/GSEA分析、免疫共沉淀（Co-IP）、RT-qPCR，鉴定整合素α2（ITGA2）是促进AKT活化的关键分子；通过Co-IP、敲低ITGA2、Western blotting及功能实验明确ITGA2在BRD1调控AKT活化中的具体作用。结果：数据库分析显示，BRD1可作为NSCLC免疫治疗的中等预测标志物（AUC = 0.625）。过表达BRD1/BRD1-ΔN显著增强了NSCLC细胞的增殖和迁移能力（P < 0.01或P < 0.001），但不影响细胞凋亡及凋亡相关蛋白的表达（均P > 0.05）；RNA-seq分析表明过表达BRD1/BRD1-ΔN主要富集于PI3K/AKT信号通路。Western blotting及体外激酶实验显示，BRD1/BRD1-ΔN过表达不影响AKT上游激酶（PDK1）的磷酸化，也不改变AKT的乙酰化修饰水平（均P > 0.05）；AKT抑制剂LY294002处理过表达BRD1/BRD1-ΔN细胞，发现BRD1/BRD1-ΔN促细胞增殖和迁移的作用部分依赖AKT的活化；RT-qPCR及Western blotting证实，BRD1过表达可上调ITGA2的mRNA和蛋白水平，敲低ITGA2则可逆转BRD1诱导的AKT激活及细胞增殖和迁移能力的增强。结论：BRD1是NSCLC的一种新型促癌因子，其通过上调ITGA2表达激活AKT信号通路，进而促进肺癌细胞的增殖和迁移。

The crosstalk between macrophages and bone marrow mesen chymal stem cells （BMSCs） plays a vital role in regulating tendon-bone healing. Based on the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） theory that the kidney governs the bones and generates marrow， yin-nourishing and kidney-tonifying Chinese medicines can promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and the M1-to-M2 polarization of macrophages， thereby facilitating tendon-bone healing. A variety of related medicinal monomers （such as diosgenin and oleanolic acid）， extracts and effective fractions （such as artificial tiger bone powder and total flavonoids of Drynaria fortunei ）， as well as compound prescriptions （such as Liuwei dihuang pill， Xujin jiegu decoction and Duhuo jisheng decoction）， can modulate the crosstalk between macrophages and BMSCs by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin， nuclear factor kappa-B， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin and transforming growth factor-β/Smad signaling pathways. They further exert anti-inflammatory， antioxidant and osteogenic effects to effectively accelerate tendon-bone healing. However， current evidence was limited to animal experiments exhibiting such as limitations insufficent alignment between animal models and clinical injury types， research focusing mostly on single signaling pathways， and unclear core active ingredients. Future studies shall optimize animal models and carry out large-sample randomized controlled trials， clarify the interactive networks of multiple signaling pathways， and isolate the core active substances of yin-nourishing and kidney-tonifying Chinese medicines， so as to advance the precise application of traditional Chinese medicines.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue Formula （益气养阴活血方， YYHF） in the treatment of membranous nephropathy （MN） based on the NOX4-mediated stromal cell-derived factor-1α（SDF-1α）/CXC chemokine receptor 4 （CXCR4） signaling pathway. MethodsA total of 42 male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group （n=6） and modeling group （n=36）. The modeling rats were given a single injection of sheep antirat Fx1A （6 ml/kg） serum into the tail vein to establish MN model. Thirty-six rats with successful modeling were further divided into model group （normal saline， 10 ml/kg）， benazepril group （10 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， the medium-dose YYHF group （11.0 g·kg^-1·d^-1） and high-dose YYHF group （22.0 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 9 rats in each group. All groups received daily intragastric administration for 6 consecutive weeks. During the experimental period， the general condition of rats in each group was observed. After gavage administration finished， a fully automated biochemical analyzer was used to measure the 24-hour urine total protein （24 h-UTP） and serum biochemical parameters， including albumin （ALB）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， serum creatinine （SCr）， total cholesterol （TC）， and triglyceride （TG）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and periodic acid-silver metheramine （PASM） staining were used to observe the histopathological changes of renal tissues in each group of rats. The levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and malondialdehyde （MDA） in renal tissues were detected by ELISA. The protein expression levels of NOX4， SDF-1α， CXCR4， Nrf2， nuclear factor kappa B subunit p65 （NF-κB p65） and podocyte slit diaphragm protein nephrin in rat renal tissues were detected by Western Blotting. The mRNA expressions of NOX4， SDF-1α， CXCR4， Nrf2， NF-κB p65 and Nephrin in renal tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. ResultsCompared to the blank group， rats in the model group exhibited typical features of MN， including lethargy， reduced activity， dull and coarse fur， marked edema， and massive proteinuria. Compared to the model group， these abnormal conditions were improved to varying degrees in all treatment groups. The high-dose YYHF group showed a level of improvement comparable to that of the benazepril group， with overall recovery superior to that of the medium-dose YYHF group. Compared to the blank group， the model group showed increased levels of 24 h-UTP， BUN， SCr， TC and TG， decreased level of ALB， increased levels of MDA and protein and mRNA expressions of NOX4， SDF-1α， CXCR4 and NF-κB p65 in renal tissue， along with decreased levels of SOD and protein and mRNA expressions of Nrf2， Nephrin （P＜0.01）， accompanied by severe renal pathological damage. Compared to the model group， the benazepril and the medium- and high-dose YYHF groups showed significant improvements in the above indicators （P＜0.01）， along with alleviation of renal pathological injury. The 24 h-UTP level in the high-dose YYHF group was lower than that in the medium-dose group （P＜0.01）， while no statistically significant difference was observed among the other treatment groups （P＞0.01）. ConclusionYYHF may alleviate oxidative stress and inflammatory responses by down-regulating the expression of NOX4 and inhibiting the SDF-1α/CXCR4-Nrf2 signaling pathway， thereby improving podocyte damage and protecting renal function.

OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy of evolocumab combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of patients with borderline coronary heart disease （CHD）. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study， 342 hospitalized patients diagnosed with borderline CHD were enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanyang Medical College from August 2021 to June 2024， and divided into control group （treated with atorvastatin， 190 cases） and trial group （treated with evolocumab combined with atorvastatin， 152 cases） according to therapeutic regimen. Blood lipid indexes， high-sensitivity C-reactive protein （hs-CRP） and intravascular ultrasound of the coronary artery at baseline and after 1 year of treatment， and incidence of cardiovascular adverse events were compared after propensity score matching. RESULTS A total of 295 patients （158 in control group and 137 in trial group） were finally included in the analysis. One year after the treatment， compared with control group， total cholesterol， triglycerides， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and hs-CRP levels were decreased significantly in trial group （ P ＜0.05）， whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was increased significantly （ P ＜0.05）. The lumen diameter， lumen area， and the minimum lumen area were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）， while plaque area and plaque burden were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Overall incidence of adverse events in trial group was significantly lower than that in control group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Evolocumab combined with atorvastatin can significantly improve coronary luminal narrowing and reduce plaque burden， as well as reduce the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events in patients with borderline CHD.

As an innovative form of combining traditional aromatherapy with modern nasal medicine delivery technology， "olfactory administration of Chinese medicine" carries the theoretical essence of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， which is "moving and channeling Qi and fragrance， dredging and awakening the mind". Based on the systematic records of olfactory therapies in ancient books in emergency care， disorders of consciousness， lung system， and gynecological diseases， this paper examines the historical evolution of its clinical application， and elucidates the profound historical basis and theoretical feasibility of "olfactory administration of Chinese medicine" as a new form. Combined with the innovation and precise application of modern Chinese medicine olfactory agents in multi-system diseases such as nervous， respiratory， and cardiovascular diseases， this paper further analyzes the multi-dimensional mechanism of olfactory receptor pathway， olfactory brain pathway， nasal mucosal blood vessels， and lymphatic channels， and demonstrates its advantages of rapid onset， targeted brain entry， and systemic regulation. Under the background of continuous growth in the demand for external TCM treatment， continuous breakthroughs in the technology of nasal dosage forms， and increasingly accurate drug delivery paths， Chinese medicine olfactory agents have shown significant practical applicability and development potential. This study aims to provide theoretical support and practical direction for the system construction of this form.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） is a chronic metabolic liver disorder with complex etiologies. Different clinical phenotypes of MAFLD （such as obesity， hyperlipidemia， type 2 diabetes mellitus， the postmenopausal state， and chronic hepatitis B） have different mechanisms of action in the development and progression of MAFLD， leading to high heterogeneity in its clinical progression and prognosis. This article systematically reviews the pathogeneses and clinical features of the above five clinical phenotypes of MAFLD and elaborates on the corresponding individualized diagnosis and treatment regimens integrating traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine， in order to provide a reference for clinical practice and improve clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Liver fibrosis is the core pathological stage of the progression of various chronic liver diseases to liver cirrhosis， and hepatic stellate cell （HSC） activation and the abnormal accumulation of collagen fibers are important processes for the development and progression of liver fibrosis. In recent years， studies have shown that HSC activation is regulated by the complex interactions between various organelles （including mitochondria， endoplasmic reticulum， Golgi apparatus， lysosome， and peroxisomes）， and such interactions affect the key cellular processes such as energy metabolism， protein synthesis and folding， reactive oxygen species balance， and autophagy， thereby participating in the progression of liver fibrosis. Meanwhile， traditional Chinese medicine and its active ingredients with multi-target synergistic effects have attracted wide attention. From the perspective of the interaction between organelles， this article systematically elaborates on the specific mechanism of such interactions in the progression of liver fibrosis and reviews how traditional Chinese medicine inhibits HSC activation and collagen production by regulating the function of these organelle and their interaction networks， thereby exerting an anti-liver fibrosis effect， in order to provide a theoretical basis for in-depth understanding of the pathological mechanism of liver fibrosis and the development of new traditional Chinese medicine intervention strategies.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism by which Qingre antai decoction improves pregnancy outcomes of threatened abortion rats with blood heat syndrome. METHODS The pregnant rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， dydrogesterone group （0.002 g/kg）， and Qingre antai decoction group （44.1 g/kg）， with 13 rats in each group. Except for normal group， other groups were given warming-yang Chinese medicine and corresponding drugs intragastrically， once a day， for 12 consecutive days. On the 13th day of pregnancy， a single intragastric administration of mifepristone （5 mg/kg） was performed to establish a model of threatened abortion with blood heat syndrome. On the 14th day of pregnancy， the abortion rate and uterine coefficient were calculated； the pathological morphology of pregnant uterine was observed； the serum levels of 3，5，3′-triiodothyronine （T3）， thyroid hormone （T4）， thyroid stimulating hormone （TSH）， as well as the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） and nitric oxide （NO） in the pregnant uterus were all determined； the expressions of mRNA and protein related to Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （AKT） pathways were detected. RESULTS Compared with normal group， the model group exhibited endometrial tissue damage， a reduced number of decidual cells， and a significant presence of blood stasis within the uterus； abortion rate， the serum levels of T3， T4 and TSH， the mRNA expressions of JAK2， STAT3 and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 （SOCS3） as well as protein expressions of p-JAK2， p-STAT3 and SOCS3 in the pregnant uterus were increased significantly （ P ＜0.05）； uterine coefficient， the levels of VEGF and NO in pregnant uterus， mRNA expressions of VEGFR2， PI3K， AKT and endothelial nitric oxide synthase（eNOS）， protein expressions of VEGFR2， PI3K and eNOS as well as phosphorylation level of AKT in the pregnant uterus were significantly reduced （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with model group， the endometrial tissue damage and congestion in the Qingre antai decoction group were significantly improved， and the levels of the aforementioned quantitative indicators were significantly reversed （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Qingre antai decoction can improve the pregnancy outcomes in rats with threatened abortion of blood heat syndrome， the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 pathway and activating PI3K/AKT pathway.
