Purpose: In this study, the neural communication patterns between hypothalamic structures and cortical areas in girls diagnosed with central precocious puberty (CPP) were explored. Endocrine profiles were incorporated to clarify the pathophysiological interactions between cerebral networks and hormonal regulation. The hypothalamus was designated as the key focus area for connectivity analysis. Methods: Fifty-seven girls (37 CPP, 20 non-CPP) were recruited from the Pediatric Development Clinic at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. The collected data included demographic information, gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation tests, and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Hypothalamic functional connectivity (FC) was analyzed using predefined region of interest coordinates, and correlations between hormone levels and FC values were assessed. Results: Compared to the non-CPP group, the CPP group exhibited elevated baseline follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), baseline luteinizing hormone (LH), peak FSH, peak LH, and peak LH/FSH ratios. Patients with CPP exhibited enhanced neural synchronization linking the right lateral hypothalamic effector zone to the right superior frontal gyrus (displaying a borderline significant correlation with peak LH concentrations), concurrent with diminished functional coupling of the right lateral hypothalamic efferent to the right fusiform/supramarginal gyri. The left lateral hypothalamic projections demonstrated amplified connectivity with the right cuneus. No FC differences were observed in the medial hypothalamus. Conclusion Abnormal lateral hypothalamus FC patterns were identified in CPP girls and were particularly linked to peak LH levels. The findings offer novel insights into the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying CPP.

Objective: To establish anin vitromodel of ferroptosis induced by Erastin and RAS-selective lethal 3(RSL3) in hepatoma cells, and to provide theoretical basis for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for HCC. Methods: Hepatoma cells(HCCLM3, HepG2, Hep3B, Huh7 and PLC/PRF/5) in logarithmic growth phase were treated with Erastin(0-40 μmol/L) and RSL3(0-10 μmol/L) at double concentrations respectively. After 24 h, CCK-8 method was used to detect cell viability, draw growth curve, calculate IC50, and HCC cells sensitive to inducers were selected for follow-up experiments. The effect of inducer on the state of hepatoma cells was observed under light microscope, and immunoblotting and flow cytometry were used to verify whether the ferroptotic modelin vitrowas successfully constructed. Results: Huh7, Hep3B and HepG2 cells were sensitive to Erastin and RSL3, but HCCLM3 and PLC/PRF/5 were insensitive to Erastin and RSL3. When the concentration of Erastin and RSL3 reached the maximum, the survival rate was still above 65%. Huh7, Hep3B and HepG2 cells were selected for subsequent experiments. Compared with the control group, the expression of Glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4), a ferroptotic marker, was down-regulated in a concentration-dependent manner. In Huh7, Hep3B and HepG2 cells, lipid reactive oxygen species(ROS) levels significantly increased after 24 h treatment with 10 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L Erastin, respectively; in Huh7 cells, lipid ROS levels significantly increased after 24 h treatment with 0.5 μmol/L and 1 μmol/L RSL3, respectively; in Hep3B and HepG2 cells, lipid ROS levels significantly increased after 24 h treatment with 1 μmol/L and 2 μmol/L RSL3, respectively, compared with control group. Conclusion Huh7, Hep3B and HepG2 cells are highly sensitive to Erastin and RSL3. Huh7, Hep3B and HepG2 cells treated with 10 μmol/L Erastin for 24 h are good models for simulating ferroptosis induced by Erastinin vitro, Huh7 cells treated with 0.5 μmol/L RSL3 for 24 h and Hep3B and HepG2 cells treated with 1 μmol/L RSL3 for 24 h are good models for simulating ferroptosis induced by RSL3in vitro.

Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of Elesclomol (ES) + Cu2 + on the proliferation of human hepatoma cell lines PLC/PRF/5 and Huh-7 and its potential to induce Cuproptosis. Methods: Human hepatoma cell lines PLC/PRF/5 and Huh_7 cells were Cultured in vitro. ES solution , Cu2 + solution and copper chelating agent ammonium tetrathiomolybdate VI (ATTM) solution was treated separately or in combination. The effect of ES + Cu2 + on the survival rate of human hepatoma cell lines PLC/PRF/5 and Huh_7 cells and the effect of ES + Cu2 + on the survival rate after pretreatment with copper chelating agent ATTM were evaluated using CCK_8 kit. The cell death induced by ES + Cu2 + was detected by flow cytometry and the changes of ES + Cu2 + after pretreatment with copper chelating agent ATTM. The expression of Cuproptosis related proteins ATPase copper transporting beta (ATP7B) ,ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) , dihydrolipoamide s_acetyltransferase(DLAT) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) were detected by Western blot. The effect of ES + Cu2 + on cell proliferation and the reverse effect after ATTM pretreatment was detected by cell scratch assay. Results: The toxicity of ES + Cu2 + to human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines PLC/PRF/5 and Huh_7 was significantly dose_dependent (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the control group , the combined application of ES and Cu2 + had a more significant inhibitory effect on hepatocellular carcinoma cells than ES or Cu2 + alone (P < 0. 05) , and copper chelating agent ATTM could reverse the inhibitory effect of ES + Cu2 + on hepatocellular carcinoma cells (P < 0. 05) . Flow cytometry results showed that compared with the control group , the proportion of cell death in PLC/PRF/5 and Huh_7 cells treated with ES + Cu2 + increased , while the proportion of cell death decreased after ATTM intervention (P < 0. 05) . The results of cell scratch test showed that the migration ability of PLC/PRF/5 and Huh_7 cells was decreased after ES + Cu2 + treatment , however, the addition of ATTM reversed the inhibitory effect of ES + Cu2 + on cell migration (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the control group , the expression levels of copper death related proteins ATP7B , FDX1 , DLAT and SOD1 decreased after ES + Cu2 + treatment , but the addition of ATTM reversed the expression trend of these proteins (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The combination of ES and Cu2 + can effectively inhibit the proliferation and migration of PLC/PRF/5 and Huh_7 of hepatocellular carcinoma cells , and induce Cuproptosis , which provides a new strategy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of physical activity (PA) among stroke survivors. Methods A total of 203 stroke survivors were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. General information questionnaire, Stroke Self-efficacy Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Modified Rankin Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form, Fatigue Severity Scale, and European Five-Dimension Health Scale were used for questionnaire survey. Based on the health ecological model, hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of PA among stroke survivors. Results Using metabolic equivalents (MET) to quantify energy expenditure, the weekly PA energy expenditure of 203 stroke survivors was 693.0 (0, 1 386.0) MET. The results of hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis showed that personal traits (stroke staging), behavioral characteristics and psychology (Modified Rankin Scale score, fatigue severity, stroke recovery self-efficacy), and interpersonal networks (perceived social support-friend support dimension) were the main influencing factors of PA among stroke survivors (P < 0.05), which could explain 55.5% of the variation in PA. Conclusion The level of PA among stroke survivors is influenced by multi-dimensional and multi-level complex factors in their health ecosystem, and it is currently at a low level. Healthcare professionals can formulate comprehensive strategies to improve PA among stroke survivors based on the health ecological model, aiming to further enhance the PA level of stroke survivors and promote physical function recovery.

Objective:To summarize the content and effects of exercise interventions for stroke survivors, providing references for medical and nursing personnel in formulating exercise intervention plans for these patients.Methods:Literature on exercise interventions for stroke survivors was searched in databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to May 1, 2023.

The exercise types for stroke survivors primarily involved aerobic and resistance training; the intensity was mainly moderate to high; the frequency was mostly 3-5 times per week, with each session lasting 30-60 minutes; and the duration of interventions ranged from as short as two weeks to as long as one year. Exercise interventions improved stroke survivors' functional mobility, quality of life, cardiopulmonary function, mental state, cognitive function, fatigue, sleep, and compliance to varying degrees.Conclusions:Exercise interventions have achieved positive outcomes in stroke survivors. In the future, medical and nursing personnel can incorporate patient preferences into exercise intervention plans while ensuring patient safety to promote rehabilitation.

ObjectiveTo compare the differences in thyroid hormone levels between adolescents with and without suicidal ideation， and to explore the association between thyroid hormone/suicidal ideation and the antidepressant treatment. MethodsA total of 100 patients were divided into non-suicidal ideation group and suicidal ideation group according to the SIOSS. The levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone （TSH）， triiodothyronine （T3）， thyroxine （T4）， free triiodothyronine （FT3） and free thyroxine （FT4） were compared between the two groups as well as their changes after 6 weeks of antidepressant treatment. ResultsThe levels of FT3， FT4 and T4 in the non-suicidal ideation group were higher than those in the suicidal ideation group. After 6 weeks of antidepressant treatment， the levels of FT3， FT4 and T4 in the suicide ideation group were higher than those before the treatment. The FT3 level in the male non-suicidal ideation group was higher than that in the suicidal ideation group. The levels of FT4 and T4 in the female non-suicidal ideation group were higher than those in the suicidal ideation group （all P<0.05） ConclusionThere are differences in thyroid hormone levels between adolescents with and without suicidal ideation （both with first-episode depression）， and patients with suicidal ideation have significant changes after treatment with antidepressants.
