Objective: To explore the association between problematic short video use (PSVU) and executive function among students in grades 3 to 6 of primary school, so as to provide references for intervening in primary school students PSVU. Methods: In September 2024 (T1), using a convenience sampling method, 520 students in grades 3 to 6 from a primary school in Xi an City of Shaanxi Province were selected as research subjects. They were followed up at three time points: T1, T2 (January 2025), and T3 (May 2025) using an adapted version of the Internet Addiction Test and Questionnaire of Executive Functioning of Chinese. Pearson correlation and cross lagged model were used to analyze the correlation between PSVU and executive function among primary school students at each time point. Results: The mean PSVU scores of primary school students at T1-T3 were (35.51±12.46, 34.86± 12.64 , 35.16±13.37) respectively, and the mean executive function scores were (68.31±12.95, 64.92±12.99, 66.58±14.13) respectively. Correlation analysis results indicated that PSVU scores and executive function scores were positively correlated in all three measurements ( r =0.26~0.62, all P <0.01). Cross lagged analysis results showed that executive function scores at T1 could positively predict PSVU scores at T2 ( β =0.21), and executive function scores at T2 could positively predict PSVU scores at T3 ( β = 0.20) (both P <0.01). Conclusion The level of executive function in students from grades 3 to 6 of primary school can unidirectionally predict the severity of their PSVU.

[摘 要] 目的：通过多组学整合分析，解析肠道菌群在胆管癌（CCA）发生发展中的潜在作用机制并识别相关关键基因。方法：基于SRA数据库的16S rRNA测序数据，比较CCA患者与健康对照者的肠道菌群组成；采用孟德尔随机化（MR）分析评估菌群与CCA风险的遗传关联。通过gutMGene和GeneCards数据库获取相关代谢物与基因，进行代谢和功能富集分析。整合GEO单细胞转录组数据（GSE213452），解析肿瘤微环境的细胞组成，重点关注T细胞亚群及其功能状态，并结合TCGA-CHOL数据集验证关键候选基因的表达差异。结果：与健康对照组相比，CCA患者肠道菌群组成发生显著改变，变形菌门下菌群异常富集（LDA > 4）。MR分析进一步证实，肠杆菌目与肠杆菌科的遗传易感性均与CCA风险呈正向关联。代谢通路富集分析提示，菌群相关代谢物主要参与嘌呤代谢及糖酵解/糖异生等通路；功能富集分析显示，相关基因显著富集于NOD样受体、IL-17、Toll样受体及NF-κB信号通路等炎症免疫通路。单细胞转录组分析结果显示，CCA组织中肿瘤细胞比例显著升高（P < 0.05），T细胞比例由20.7%增至39.2%；拟时序分析结果表明，MKI67⁺ T细胞处于分化末期并呈高增殖特征，其差异基因与菌群相关基因存在交集，其中SERPINA1和IFNG表达在肿瘤免疫微环境中显著变化（P < 0.001），可能发挥核心调控作用。TCGA-CHOL数据集验证显示，SERPINA1在CCA肿瘤组织中显著下调（P < 0.001），而IFNG在肿瘤与正常组织间无显著差异（P > 0.05）。结论：肠道菌群失衡（尤其是肠杆菌科异常增殖）可能通过代谢-免疫调控网络促进CCA进展，T细胞功能变化与关键基因（SERPINA1和IFNG）在MKI67+ T细胞中的差异化表达模式密切相关。

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of an intelligent handheld ultrasound (US) device for assisting non-expert general practitioners (GPs) in detecting carotid plaques (CPs) in community populations. Methods: This prospective parallel controlled trial recruited 111 consecutive community residents. All of them underwent examinations by non-expert GPs and specialist doctors using handheld US devices (setting A, setting B, and setting C). The results of setting C with specialist doctors were considered the gold standard. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and the features of CPs were measured and recorded. The diagnostic performance of GPs in distinguishing CPs was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Inter-observer agreement was compared using the intragroup correlation coefficient (ICC). Questionnaires were completed to evaluate clinical benefits. Results: Among the 111 community residents, 80, 96, and 112 CPs were detected in settings A, B, and C, respectively. Setting B exhibited better diagnostic performance than setting A for detecting CPs (area under the curve, 0.856 vs. 0.749; P<0.01). Setting B had better consistency with setting C than setting A in CIMT measurement and the assessment of CPs (ICC, 0.731 to 0.923). Moreover, measurements in setting B required less time than the other two settings (44.59 seconds vs. 108.87 seconds vs. 126.13 seconds, both P<0.01). Conclusion Using an intelligent handheld US device, GPs can perform CP screening and achieve a diagnostic capability comparable to that of specialist doctors.

Wilson disease is a copper metabolism disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene， which encodes a copper-transporting ATPase β， and can result in multisystem damage. The kidneys are the third most commonly affected organs after the liver and brain. In recent years， numerous diagnostic and treatment guidelines for Wilson disease have emerged. However， most of these focus primarily on hepatic and neurological manifestations and their management， with limited coverage of renal involvement. The high incidence， low awareness， and lack of clinical specificity of Wilson disease-related renal damage （WDRD） have made early detection and intervention particularly challenging in clinical practice. To further optimize the treatment of patients with WDRD， improve clinical diagnosis and management， and enhance patients' quality of life， the Neurology Committee of the Chinese Association of Integrative Medicine， in April 2024， initiated a revision of the first expert consensus on the integrated diagnosis， treatment， and management of WDRD. This effort brought together experts in hepatology， encephalopathy （neurology）， and nephrology from many tertiary-level grade A hospitals and research institutions across China. Through comprehensive literature review and integration of frontline clinical experience， the expert group jointly developed Chinese Expert Consensus on Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Management of Wilson Disease-related Renal Damage （hereinafter referred to as the "Consensus"）. This article provides a detailed interpretation of the Consensus in terms of diagnostic criteria， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome differentiation and treatment classification， and comprehensive disease management， aiming to better guide clinical application. Regarding diagnostic criteria， the Consensus integrates the latest standards in China and abroad， highlights the importance of biochemical diagnosis， and compensates for the limitations of genetic testing. In the area of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment， the Consensus refines four major syndrome types， introduces a newly defined syndrome， i.e.， phlegm， blood stasis， and heat accumulation， and elaborates on treatment principles， prescriptions， and clinical modification rules for each syndrome. For comprehensive disease management， the Consensus emphasizes multi-dimensional intervention strategies， including diet， exercise， emotional regulation， medication， and medical care， with the goal of maximally controlling the progression of renal dysfunction and helping patients achieve a better quality of life.

Garcinol, a benzenetriol compound extracted from Garcinia cambogia, has antitumor activity, however, its antitumor mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of garcinol as a novel potential proteasome inhibitor. We applied the drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) method coupled to mass spectrometry to determine the binding protein of garcinol; the proteasome activity assay was used to determine the effect of garcinol on its hydrolase activity; immunofluorescence and proximity ligation assay (PLA) were used to detect the effects of garcinol on ubiquitin and RPN6; and flow cytometry were used to determine the effects of garcinol on cell apoptosis; and the anti-cancer effect was studied in organoid models. The results showed that RPN6 was a direct binding protein of garcinol; garcinol inhibited the hydrolase activity of proteasome, and induced the accumulation and aggregation of ubiquitin protein, and its proteasomal inhibitory effect was dependent on RPN6; further studies showed that garcinol induced oligomerization of RPN6 and formation of granules in the nucleus; finally, it was verified that garcinol induced apoptosis of tumor cells, and inhibited the growth of organoids of Apc^min/+ small intestine mice. These results suggest that garcinol is a potential proteasome inhibitor, which inhibits proteasome activity by directly targeting RPN6 on proteasome 19S, which in turn induces cell apoptosis and inhibits tumor growth.

Aim To elucidate the molecular mecha-nism underlying the inhibitory effect of liquidambaric acid(LDA)targeting TNF receptor associated factor 6(TRAF6)in colorectal cancer.Methods This study employed microscale thermophoresis(MST),drug af-finity responsive target stability assay(DARTS)and cellular thermal shift assay(CETSA)to confirm the direct binding of LDA to TRAF6.Additionally,we generated TRAF6 knockout colorectal cancer HCT116 cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology,and assessed the impact of LDA on TRAF6-regulated Hippo/YAP and Wnt signaling pathways through immunofluorescence a-nalysis and TOPFlash/Renilla luciferase reporter sys-tem.Co-IP and proximity ligation assays(PLA)were conducted to investigate LDA-regulated TRAF6 pro-tein-protein interactions and elucidate molecular mech-anisms.Results The direct binding of LDA to TRAF6 was confirmed in cell lysates and living cells.LDA promoted TRAF6-dependent nuclear translocation of YAP in colorectal cancer cells,and inhibited Wnt signaling by overexpressing TRAF6.Co-IP and PLA revealed that TRAF6 formed a tripartite complex with YAP and β-catenin in colon cancer cells,where TRAF6 was a key scaffolding protein of the tripartite complex.LDA disrupted the interactions between the TRAF domain of TRAF6 and YAP,as well as YAP and β-catenin.Conclusion LDA regulates Hippo/YAP signaling pathway by targeting TRAF6 and inhib-its colorectal cancer.

This study was aimed at identifying the pathogenic bacteria responsible for the death of a young tiger at the Fujian Meihua Mountain South China Tiger Breeding Research Institute.Tissue samples from the lungs,liver,and intestines of the deceased tiger were collected,and the bacteria were cultured inasterile environment.The bacterial strains were characterized according to their morphological and molecular biological properties,including assessment of virulence genes and antibiotic resistance genes,mouse lethality tests,and antibiotic susceptibility evaluations.A predominant bacterial strain isolated from the liver of the deceased tiger was identified as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(ETEC)strain Tiger22513F.Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that the Tiger22513F strain exhibited close genetic similarity to the reference strain ETEC(MF919609.1),with 99.9%nucleotide similarity,and resided on the same evolutionary branch.The Tiger22513F strain contained 11 antibiotic resistance genes(tetA,sul1,sul3,cmlA,floR,blaTEM,blaSHV,blaCMY-2,qnrA,qnrS,and qnrD)along with five virulence genes(VT1,fyuA,tsh,iucD,and ST).Mouse lethality tests indicated significant pathogenicity toward mice,affecting primarily the lungs,liver,and intestines.Antibiotic susceptibility testing demonstrated that this strain exhibited resistance to various classes of beta-lactam antibiotics,as well as quinolones and aminoglycosides.This investigation successfully isolated a multi-drug resistant enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain with pronounced pathogenicity from the liver of a deceased tiger;thus providing valuable scientific insights for clinical diagnosis,as well as prevention and control measures,against ETEC infections in South China tigers.
