Objective: To explore the relationship between socio ecological risk factors (SERF), physical activity (PA) developmental trajectories, and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Tianjin, in order to provide theoretical support for comprehensive interventions for adolescent depression. Methods: A longitudinal follow up design was adopted. In September 2022, a baseline survey was conducted using a stratified cluster random sampling method in two junior high schools and two senior high schools in Tianjin, collecting data on students basic information, SERF, PA, and depressive symptoms. Two follow up surveys were conducted in September 2023 and 2024, yielding 588 valid participants. Latent class growth analysis (LCGA) was used to identify PA developmental trajectory categories among junior and senior high school students. Logistic regression was applied to examine the associations between depressive symptoms and SERF as well as PA trajectories. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms among Tianjin junior and senior high school students over the three years were 26.53%, 20.24%, and 21.26 %, respectively. Depressive symptoms were positively correlated with SERF ( OR=1.04, 95%CI=1.03-1.05, P <0.05). The highest risks were observed in the individual dimension and family dimension ( OR =1.28, 1.21, both P <0.05). LCGA identified three PA trajectory groups:persistently low level (80.65%), persistently high level (4.58%), and slowly increasing group ( 14.77 %). Multivariate regression analysis showed that compared with the persistently low level PA, the slowly increasing PA significantly reduced the risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=0.44, 95%CI =0.20-0.88), while SERF still increased the risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.04, 95%CI =1.03-1.05) (both P <0.05). Conclusion SERF are risk factors for depression symptoms among junior and senior high school students, whereas slowly increasing PA development trajectory demonstrates a protective effect.

BackgroundBoth modified Suanzaoren Decoction and estazolam serve as effective treatments for chronic insomnia disorder （CID）. Default mode network （DMN） dysfunction is recognized as the primary pathophysiological mechanism underlying CID. However， it remains unclear whether the two treatments exert their therapeutic effects via convergent modulation of DMN functional connectivity. ObjectiveTo investigate the convergent remodeling characteristics of bidirectional effective connectivity （EC） of core DMN nodes with both the intra-network and the remaining whole-brain regions in CID patients with Yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome following the treatment with modified Suanzaoren Decoction or estazolam， so as to provide neuroimaging evidence for the convergent neural mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of both therapies in treating CID. MethodsEighty-two patients diagnosed with CID according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorder， third edition （ICSD-3） were consecutively recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Mental Health Center from October 2020 to September 2023. Based on treatment preference， patients were assigned to receive a 6-week intervention in either the modified Suanzaoren Decoction group （n=52） or the estazolam group （n=30）. Ultimately， 66 patients completed follow-up assessments （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group， n=41； estazolam group， n=25）. All CID patients underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning before and after treatment. Core DMN nodes including medial prefrontal cortex （mPFC）， bilateral inferior parietal lobule （IPL）， and precuneus （PCUN） were selected as seed regions. Granger causality analysis （GCA） was employed to assess bidirectional EC between the seed regions and both the other intra-DMN nodes and the remaining whole-brain regions. Hepatic and renal function indices were detected pre- and post-treatment to evaluate the safety profiles of both treatments. ResultsAt baseline， significant between-group differences were identified in EC from the left IPL to the left middle fronto-orbital gyrus/gyrus rectus （t=5.24， Z=4.84， voxel-level P<0.001， cluster-level P<0.05， GRF-corrected）， with the modified Suanzaoren Decoction group exhibiting stronger EC than the estazolam group. No significant between-group differences were observed in EC between other core DMN nodes and remaining whole-brain regions （P>0.05）. Within-group pre- to post-treatment comparisons demonstrated consistent connectivity alterations in both groups. Specifically， EC from the left IPL to the supplementary motor area （SMA） decreased after treatment （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=-6.28， Z=5.208； estazolam group： t=-5.58， Z=4.425）. Conversely， EC from the SMA to the left IPL increased （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=5.89， Z=4.968； estazolam group： t=6.15， Z=4.720）. Furthermore， both groups demonstrated reduced EC from the PCUN to the left IPL （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=-5.85， Z=4.94； estazolam group： t=-5.75， Z=4.515）， and elevated EC from the left IPL to the PCUN （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=5.29， Z=4.579； estazolam group： t=4.55， Z=3.826） （voxel-level P<0.001， cluster-level P<0.05， GRF-corrected）. No significant pre- to post-treatment differences were observed in hepatic or renal function indices in either group （P>0.05）. ConclusionIn CID patients with Yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome， both modified Suanzaoren Decoction and estazolam induce convergent bidirectional remodeling of EC between the left IPL and the SMA and the PCUN. ［Funded by Natural Science Fund Project of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region （number， 2019MS08099）； ClinicalTrials.gov number， NCT06452953］

Objective:To understand the occurrence of different patterns of multimorbidity among children and adolescents aged 9-18 in Tianjin City and analyze the cumulative effects of lifestyle on these patterns of multimorbidity.Methods:From September to November 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select students from primary schools, junior high schools, general high schools, and vocational schools in 16 districts of Tianjin to screen for height, weight, blood pressure, distant vision, and diopter. One year later, a follow-up measurement and questionnaire survey were conducted. The log-binomial model was used to analyze the strength of the association between lifestyle factors and different patterns of multimorbidity.Results:The age of 9 488 students was (12.37±2.49) years old, including 4 999 boys and 4 489 girls. The detection rates of three patterns of multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure, overweight obesity and myopia, and overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia were 6.63%, 9.32%, and 4.21%, respectively. The detection rates of the three types of multimorbidity in boys were higher than those in girls (all P<0.001). The detection rate of overweight obesity and high blood pressure in suburban areas was higher than that in urban areas ( P=0.002). The detection rate of overweight obesity and myopia in suburban areas was lower than that in urban areas ( P=0.034). The detection rate of overweight obesity and myopia among those aged 9-12 years old was higher than other age groups (all P<0.001). The ARR (95% CI) for the association between favorable physical activity and the occurrence of overweight obesity and high blood pressure was 0.79 (0.68-0.92). The ARR (95% CI) for the association between favorable physical activity and the occurrence of overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia was 0.82 (0.67-0.99). Compared with children and adolescents with 0-2 favorable lifestyle factors, those with 4-5 favorable lifestyle factors had a lower risk of overweight obesity and high blood pressure ( ARR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.59-0.92). Conclusion:Boys aged 9-18 in Tianjin City are more prone to multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure, overweight obesity and myopia, and overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia. Children and adolescents with 4-5 favorable lifestyle factors have a reduced risk of occurrence of overweight obesity and high blood pressure. Lifestyle has cumulative effects on multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure.

Objective To investigate the effect of triptolide(TPL)on renal interstitial fibrosis in mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)and its mechanism.Methods Six male C57BL/6J mice were randomly selected as the sham group,and 12 mice with UUO modeling were randomly divided into the model group(UUO)and the triptolide group(TPL).Changes in serum creatinine(SCr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),and body weight were compared among the groups.Renal tissue specimens were collected at 14 d after UUO for HE and Masson staining.Immunohistochemistry staining was performed to observe the expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and fibronectin(Fn)in kidney tissues.Western blotting analysis was used to detect the protein expression levels of nucleotide combined with structure of oligomerization domain receptor protein 3(NLRP3),GSDMD,cGSDMD,IL-1β and IL-18.Results At week 1,the body weight of mice in the UUO and TPL groups significantly decreased compared with that in the sham group(P＜0.05).Body weight reduced in the TPL group compared with that in the Sham group at week 2(P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in body weight between the TPL and UUO groups.BUN levels did not differ significantly between the three groups.Compared with the sham group,the SCr level in the UUO group significantly increased[(15.680±1.508)μmol/L](P＜0.01).A reduction in SCr level was observed following TPL administration[(12.550±3.004)μmol/L](P＜0.05).HE staining showed that the renal tubules of mice in the UUO group were significantly dilated and atrophic,with interstitial edema and increased inflammatory cell infiltration,while the pathological damage of renal tissues was significantly alleviated after TPL treatment.Masson staining revealed that interstitial collagen deposition significantly increased in the UUO group(36.350±5.183)％(P＜0.01)and reduced after TPL administration(20.820±3.290)％(P＜0.01).Immunohistochemistry results demonstrated that the IOD levels of α-SMA(1.233±0.045)and Fn(1.337±0.045)were higher in UUO group mice than in the sham group,while the IOD levels of α-SMA(1.047±0.025)and Fn(1.113±0.021)were lower in the TPL group than in the UUO group(P＜0.05).Western blotting analysis indicated that the expression levels of NLRP3,cGSDMD,IL-1β and IL-18 in the UUO group mice were higher than those in the sham group,while the protein expression levels of the above-mentioned indicators significantly decreased after TPL treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion TPL ameliorates renal interstitial fibrosis in mice with UUO by inhibiting NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis.

Based on CT scan data,a bionic model of lumbar spine injuries with high biofidelity is developed and validated through cadaver experiments.Decoupling the constraint system that affects occupants during collisions due to inertial forces and the subsequent pressure exerted by the seat upon returning to position,a simulated fall experiment is designed.The simulated outcomes are trained and predicted using deep learning algorithms,and the accuracy of the trained neural network prediction model is verified.Key parameters are analyzed for correlation using principal component analysis and cross-reverse methods.The results shows that the predicted lumbar spine injury model obtained from training has high reliability(R2>0.9).Comprehensive analysis reveals that after experiencing axial impact,the L4 vertebral body bears the highest impact load and can be used as a representative measure of lumbar spine injury.Among the environmental variables,the axial force on the L4 lumbar spine is mainly affected by torso mass and fall height,both of which have positive correlations.Torso mass,fall height,and posture angle all have positive effects on internal energy.Conversely,torso mass and fall height have negative correlations with stress.These research findings provide a scientific basis for further elucidating lumbar spine injury mechanisms in intelligent cockpit environments,devising corresponding safety protection measures,and evaluating occupant safety in automobiles.

Background and Aims:Obstructive jaundice(OJ)caused by common bile duct stones(CBDS)is a major risk factor for acute cholangitis(AC).Early identification of high-risk patients is essential for improving prognosis.Soluble CD163(sCD163)and milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8(MFG-E8)are associated with inflammatory diseases,but their predictive value for AC in CBDS-related OJ remains unclear.This study aimed to evaluate the predictive significance of serum sCD163 and MFG-E8 levels for AC in patients with CBDS-OJ.Methods:A total of 142 patients with CBDS-OJ admitted from January 2022 to June 2024 were included as the observation group,and 145 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination served as controls.Serum sCD163 and MFG-E8 levels were measured using ELISA.Based on the occurrence of AC within 24 hours after admission,patients with CBDS-OJ were divided into an AC group(n=48)and a non-AC group(n=94).Clinical variables and serological indicators were compared between groups.Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent factors associated with AC.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were generated to assess the predictive performance of sCD163,MFG-E8,and their combination.Results:Compared with the control group,patients with CBDS-OJ showed significantly elevated serum sCD163 levels and decreased MFG-E8 levels(both P<0.05).Within the observation group,the AC group had higher AST,ALT and sCD163 levels and lower MFG-E8 levels than the non-AC group(all P<0.05).Logistic regression identified elevated sCD163 as an independent risk factor(OR=3.478,P<0.001)and reduced MFG-E8 as a protective factor(OR=0.526,P=0.020)for AC.ROC analysis showed AUC values of 0.759 for sCD163,0.787 for MFG-E8,and 0.920 for their combined detection,with the combined model outperforming either marker alone(P<0.001).Conclusion:Serum sCD163 elevation and MFG-E8 reduction are closely associated with the development of AC in patients with CBDS-OJ.Combined detection of sCD163 and MFG-E8 provides superior predictive value and may serve as a useful tool for early risk stratification in clinical practice.

We reported the clinical manifestations,radiographic characteristics and prognosis of 1 case with Mycolicibacterium wolinskyi pulmonary disease,and provided a comprehensive literature review on this disease.Using"M.wolinskyi"OR"Mycobacterium wolinskyi"OR"Mycolicibacterium wolinskyi"as search term in PubMed database,CNKI and Wanfang database up to August 26 2023,40 reports were retrieved.32 cases from the literature and 1 case of our institution were used for review.A 59-year-old female presented intermittent hemoptysis since 2015.She was diagnosed with tuberculosis and clinical symptoms continued after anti-tuberculosis treatment.After multiple cultures of mycobacterium sputum and species identification in our hospital,M.wolinskyi was finally identified.She was diagnosed with M.Wolinski pulmonary disease according to clinical symptoms,computed tomography findings as well as bacteriological examinations.Combination therapy with Azithromycin,Moxifloxacin hydrochloride and Amikacin were administered based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Mycobacterium sputum culture became negative after 1 month treatment and kept negative,and the patient continued this combination therapy for 12 months after first culture negative.M.wolinskyi disease is exceedingly rare in medical institutions,and clinical symptoms are different depending on different location.Most cases were infected with skin,soft tissue or bone tissue infection after trauma or surgery,and a few cases were bloodstream infection.Most patients could have a good prognosis after proper treatment.M.wolinskyi disease is rare and clinically atypical,which may lead to long-term misdiagnosis.With the increase of aged or immunosuppressed population,the diagnosis and treatment of these rare non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections deserve more attention.

Aim To evaluate the ameliorative effects of different ratios of Renshen-Huangjing(RH) on SPS-induced PTSD-like behaviors in mice,and to investi-gate the action mechanism using bioinformatics analysis and experimental studies.Methods The aqueous ex-tract was extracted in four ratios of RH in a total weight of 60 g,i.e.1∶0(RH1),2∶1(RH2),1∶2(RH3),and 0∶1(RH4).The extraction rates of Rg1,Rb1,and polysaccharides from different ratios of RH were then detected using UPLC-UV method.The SPS model was established,and RH1,RH2,RH3 and RH4(400 mg·kg-1)were administered by intragas-tric gavage for 14 day,followed by behavioral tests to e-valuate the PTSD-like behaviors.The serum CORT,IL-1β and IL-10 were determined by ELISA.The possible targets of action were analyzed using bioinformatics.The expression levels of Calpain-1,PSD95,BDNF and GluN2B in the hippocampus were detected by Western blot.Results The SPS model induced PTSD-like be-haviors in mice.Serum levels of CORT and IL-1β in-creased and level of IL-10 decreased in SPS model.After treatment with different ratios of RHs,RH2 showed the best therapeutic effect,which was manifes-ted in the suppression of PTSD-like behaviors,the re-duction of CORT and IL-1β levels,and the promotion of IL-10 levels;160 overlapping targets might explain the therapeutic effects of RH on PTSD,and these tar-gets were enriched in inhibiting synaptic damage,exer-ting antioxidant properties and suppressing neuroin-flammation,respectively.RH2 prevented the SPS-in-duced decrease in the expression of Calpain-1,PSD95,BDNF and the elevation of GluN2B.Molecular docking showed strong binding of Rg1 and Rb1 to Calpain-1,PSD95,and BDNF,respectively.Conclusions The a-queous extract of RH in a 2∶1 ratio can more effec-tively prevent SPS-induced PTSD-like behaviors,and its effect may be related to targets such as Calpain-1,PSD95,BDNF and GluN2B.

Objective:The clinicalpathological features of TAFRO syndrome were analyzed to clarify the similarities and differences between TAFRO syndrome and autoimmune diseases and to establish differential diagnosis.Methods:Six patients diagnosed with TAFRO syndrome in Shanxi Bethune Hospital from January 2014 to March 2022 were collected. The clinical, examination, pathology and treatment of TAFRO syndrome were analyzed and compared with autoimmune diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus and Sj?gren′s syndrome.Results:Among the 6 patients, 4 were males and 2 were females, with an average age of (57.5 ±9.8) years. All the 6 patients had fever, edema (including chest and abdominal effusion and systemic edema), thrombocytopenia (3 main criteria) and more than 2 secondary criteria.ESR and CRP were significantly elevated in 6 patients. There were 1 case of elevated IgA and IgG (IgA 4.10 g/L, IgG19.05 g/L), 1 case of elevated igg (IgG 19.33 g/L), 3 cases of normal and 1 case of undetected. Serum IgG4 was negative in 4 cases and undetected in 2 cases. Autoantibodies: 4 cases were ANA positive, including 1 case with anti-SSA/Ro52(+), anti-SSA/Ro60(+), anti-SSB (+), 1 case with anti-SSA /Ro60(+), and 2 untested. Bone marrow cytological examination was performed in 6 cases, all of which showed active hyperplasia, 2 cases showed elevated megakaryocytes, and 1 case was accompanied by interstitial fibrosis. Pathological examination of lymph nodes: 5 cases were consistent with Castleman′s disease, and 1 case was suggestive of reactive hyperplasia of lymph nodes. Conclusion:Although the diagnostic criteria of TAFRO syndrome should exclude autoimmune diseases, TAFRO syndrome and autoimmune diseases can coexist, and the connective tissue disease complicated with TAFRO syndrome has its specific clinical characteristics and treatment plan, which needs to be identified clinically.
