The core pathogenesis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） lies in deficiency， stasis and stagnation. Deficiency arises from kidney essence depletion and spleen dysfunction in transportation and transformation， leading to inadequate nourishment of the marrow sea. Stasis caused by qi deficiency leads to obstruction in channels and collaterals， resulting in obstructed marrow transport. Stagnation is associated with the excess of the five minds transforming into fire， which scorches the brain orifices and leads to loss of control over marrow utilisation. Based on this， a "supplementation-unblocking-regulation" therapeutic approach is proposed. For deficiency， the focus is on supplementing kidney and fortifying spleen， and replenishing the marrow sea. For stasis， the priority is to unblock and open the orifices， and clear the marrow channels. For stagnation， the core is to clear fire and contain the mind， regulate and restore vital activity. In clinical practice， it is necessary to identify the primary and secondary pathogenic mechanisms and apply dynamic， combined treatment， integrating Chinese herbal medicine， acupuncture， and guiding exercises throughout the process， aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD with traditional Chinese medical.

Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance， while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition， demonstrating eight distinct advantages， including systematic theoretical foundation， diversified therapeutic approaches， definite therapeutic efficacy， high safety profile， good patient compliance， comprehensive intervention strategies， emphasis on prevention， and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally， TCM is characterized by six distinctive features： the use of natural medicinal substances， non-invasive external therapies， integration of medicinal dietetics， simple exercise regimens， precise syndrome differentiation， and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments， TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation， demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators， regulating constitutional imbalance， and promoting healthy behaviors. However， challenges remain， such as inconsistent operational standards， insufficient high-quality clinical evidence， and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment， conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials， and fostering interdisciplinary integration， so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

Objective To investigate the predicting value of cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking(CMR-FT)for adverse left ventricular remodeling(ALVR)in patients with acute anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods The clinical data and cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)images of 161 acute anterior wall STEMI patients within 1 week and 6 months after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)were retrospectively analyzed.ALVR was defined as an increase of left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV)over 20％at the second CMR examination compared to the baseline.The CMR parame-ters were analyzed by CVI42 post-processing software.The logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent predictors of ALVR,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficiency of ALVR.Results The incidence of ALVR at 6 months was 21.7％(35/161).The logistic regression analysis showed that the left ventricular global circumferential strain(LVGCS)and right ventricular global longitudinal strain(RVGLS)at baseline were independent predictors for ALVR(P＜0.001).When LVGCS was-13.89％and RVGLS was-15.07％at baseline,the sensitivity of predicting ALVR was 0.714 and 0.743,the specificity was 0.833 and 0.810,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.806 and 0.835,respectively.The sensitivity of LVGCS combined with RVGLS in predicting ALVR was 0.802,the specificity was 0.952,and the AUC was 0.888.The DeLong test showed that the AUC of LVGCS com-bined with RVGLS in predicting ALVR was significantly higher than that of individuals,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The LVGCS and RVGLS at baseline are independent predictors for ALVR in patients with acute anterior wall STEMI,their combination can significantly improve the pre-dictive efficiency of ALVR in these patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pharmacodynamics and related mechanisms of Anmei Dan on hippocampus of mice with coronary heart disease complicated with depression.METHODS The coronary heart disease model combined with chronic and unpredictable mild stress depression model was established,and the mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group,low dose group(1.5 g·kg-1),high dose group(3 g·kg-1)and atorvastatin group(0.3 g·kg-1).Sucrose preference test,open field test and forced swimming test were used to evaluate the behavioral changes of mice.qPCR and ELISA were employed to ascertain the mR-NA expression of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumour necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the hippocampus.The changes of neurons and Nissl bodies in CA1,CA3 and DG regions of hippocampus were observed by Nissl staining.The expression of key proteins was detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the sucrose preference rate of mice in the model group was decreased(P<0.01),the forced swimming immobility time was extended(P<0.01)and the movement distance in the open field experiment was not significantly changed.The levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG)and low density lipopro-tein cholesterol(LDL-C)were increased significantly(P<0.01)and the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)was decreased significantly(P<0.01).The mRNA level and content of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased(P<0.01).The expression of glutamate receptor 1(GluR1),postsynaptic densitin-95(PSD-95),brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and phosphorylated calmodulin-dependent kinase(p-CaMKⅡ)in hippocampus was decreased(P<0.01).The expression of cytoskeletal activity regulatory protein(Arc)was increased(P<0.01).In the model group,the cell structure was irregular and differ-ent degrees of damage occurred,the Nissl bodies decreased or disappeared,and the cell membrane broke.Compared with the model group,the sucrose preference rate of mice in each administration group was significantly increased(P<0.01),the immobility time in forced swimming experiment was significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the levels of TC,TG and LDL-C of mice in Anmei Dan groups and atorvastatin group were decreased(P<0.01),while the level of HDL-C increased(P<0.01).The mRNA levels and con-tent of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in Anmei Dan groups and atorvastatin group were decreased(P<0.01).The expression of GluR1,PSD-95,BDNF and p-CaMKⅡ in hippocampal tissue of Anmei Dan groups were increased(P<0.01),and the expression of Arc was decreased(P<0.01).The morphology and structure of the cells in the Anmei Dan group and the atorvastatin group were improved,with varying degrees of increased Nissl bodies and relatively intact cell membranes.CONCLUSION Anmei Dan can effectively im-prove blood lipids and depression-like behavior of coronary heart disease mice complicated with depression.It can inhibit pro-inflam-matory factors,increase the expression of neurotrophic factors,effectively improve synaptic related proteins,and reduce the damage to neurons,thus effectively preventing the exacerbation of coronary heart disease and depression comorbidity.

BACKGROUND:Epidemiologic investigations and some experiments have shown that there is a close relationship between peripheral blood cells and osteoporosis,but the causal relationship between the two at the genetic level is still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the causal relationship between peripheral blood cells and osteoporosis using Mendelian randomization methods. METHODS:Genome-wide association study data sets on peripheral blood cells,overall bone density at different ages,and calcaneal bone density were obtained from databases such as Blood Cell Consortium and MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit. Blood cells were used as exposure data,with bone density at different ages and calcaneal bone density serving as outcome data. Mendelian randomization analyses were performed using methods such as inverse variance weighting,MR-Egger,weighted median method,and simple median. The results were assessed for heterogeneity,pleiotropy,and sensitivity using Cochran's Q,MR-Egger regression,and Leave-one-out method. The causal relationship between exposure and outcomes was evaluated using β values. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Due to the heterogeneity revealed by Cochran's Q test in the Mendelian randomization results,the results of the study were based on the inverse variance weighting method. The inverse variance weighting results showed that when age-specific bone density was used as an outcome,there was a negative causal relationship between white blood cell count and whole-body bone mineral density at the age of 45-60 years[β=-0.07,95％ confidence interval (CI):-0.13,-0.01,P=0.02],a positive causal relationship between monocyte count and whole-body bone mineral density at the age of 45-60 years (β=0.05,95％ CI:0.00,0.10,P=0.037),a negative causal relationship between white blood cell and basophil counts and whole-body bone mineral density over 60 years old (β=-0.04,95％ CI:-0.07,-0.01,P=0.005;β=-0.04,95％ CI:-0.07,-0.00,P=0.038),a positive causal relationship between hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit and whole-body bone mineral density over 60 years old (β=0.04,95％ CI:0.01,0.08,P=0.012;β=0.04,95％ CI:0.00,0.07,P=0.039),and a negative causal relationship between white cell count and whole-body bone mineral density at an undistinguished age (β=-0.10,95％ CI:-0.16,-0.03,P=0.002). When heel bone mineral density was used as an outcome,there was a negative causal relationship between white cell count and heel bone mineral density (β=-0.04,95％ CI:-0.07,-0.01,P=0.016),and a positive causal relationship between hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit and heel bone mineral density (β=0.05,95％ CI:0.01,0.08,P=0.007;β=0.05,95％ CI:0.01,0.08,P=0.004). To ensure the robustness of the results,meta-analyses of Mendelian randomization results of peripheral blood cells and whole-body bone mineral density as well as heel bone mineral density in different age groups were conducted. The results suggested that for every standard deviation decrease in log-transformed white blood cell count,there was a 5％ reduction in the risk of decreased bone mineral density (OR=0.95,95％ CI:0.94,0.97,P<0.001);whereas for every standard deviation increase in hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit,there was a 4％ reduction in the risk of decreased bone density (OR=1.04,95％ CI:1.03,1.06,P<0.001). In conclusion,increased white blood cell count in peripheral blood is a risk factor for bone mineral density;whereas increased hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration are protective factors for bone mineral density.
