Purpose: This study aimed to assess the impact of aerobic exercise at different intensities over an eight-week period on the expression and activation of cortical synaptic proteins, with the potential to reduce anxiety and improve memory in young mice. Methods: Seven-week-old C57BL/6 mice were subjected to treadmill exercises at low (n = 10), moderate (n = 10), and high intensity (n = 10) for eight weeks. Behavioral assessments were conducted to evaluate anxiety and cognitive function. To explore the underlying mechanisms, we measured the phosphorylated levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), cyclic adenosine monophosphate response-binding protein (CREB), protein kinase (AKT), adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), synapsin (S9, S549, S609), and PSD-95 in the cortex, as these are associated with synaptic strength. Additionally, the expression of doublecortin (DCX), a neurogenic factor, was analyzed in the hippocampus. Results: Exercise led to reductions in depressive and anxiety-related behaviors and elevated the levels of phosphorylated ERK, CREB, AKT, AMPK, synapsin (S9, S549, S609), and PSD-95 in the cortex of young mice. Furthermore, exercise increased DCX expression in the hippocampus. Moderate-intensity exercise yielded more pronounced effects than other intensities. Conclusion The findings of this research indicate that consistent moderate-intensity exercise increases synaptic strength and reduces depression and anxiety in young mice by activating multiple factors.

The Medical Cases of WU Jutong （《吴鞠通医案》） proposes the principle of "treating all Bi （痹） diseases through taiyin"， which forms the basis for analyzing WU Jutong's understanding of the causes， mechanisms， and treatments of Bi （痹） diseases， providing a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Through an interpretation of the phrase "treating all Bi （痹） diseases through taiyin"， it is suggested that Bi （痹） diseases is primarily caused by dampness， necessitating a focus on spleen and lung in treatment. WU emphasized four main causes of Bi （痹） diseases （wind， cold， dampness， and heat）， with dampness being the predominant factor. The disease location is initially in lung， for which external dampness invades lung first， and internal dampness obstructs the source of water metabolism， impeding lung qi and qi failing to disperse， then dampness further accumulates in the joints， leading to Bi （痹） diseases. WU Jutong proposed the modified Mufangji Decoction （木防己汤） as the foundational prescription for treating Bi （痹） diseases. By comparing the similarities and differences between the modified and original Mufangji Decoction， and analyzing the adjustments in herbal prescriptions， the clinical characteristic of "treating all Bi （痹） diseases through taiyin" is further substantiated.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of drug-coated balloon(DCB)combined drug-eluting stent(DES)on coronary bifurcation lesions.Methods:A total of 108 patients with coronary bifurcation lesions admitted in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Huangpu Branch,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between February 2021 and March 2023 were enrolled in this randomized controlled study.Patients were randomly divided into combined treatment group(n=54,DCB was implanted in the sub-branch,and DES was implanted in the main branch)and DES group(n=54,DES were implanted in both main branch and sub-branch).Clinical therapeutic effect,coronary angiography quantitative parameters before,instant and 9 months after operation and clinical out-comes during 1-year follow-up after operation were compared between two groups.Results:The total effective rate of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of DES group(96.30％vs.87.04％,P=0.030).Compared to those in DES group,instant and 9 months after operation,patients in the combined treatment group had significant higher diameters of main branch vessel[(3.13±0.31)mm vs.(3.01±0.25)mm,(2.99±0.33)mm vs.(2.84±0.23)mm],sub-branch vessel[(2.51±0.26)mm vs.(2.42±0.13)mm,(2.44±0.24)mm vs.(2.29±0.36)mm],and significant lower main branch stenosis rate[(6.05±0.21)％vs.(6.24±0.31)％,(9.06±0.23)％vs.(10.12±0.12)％]and sub-branch stenosis rate[(7.38±0.42)％vs.(7.63±0.18)％,(8.07±0.39)％vs.(11.25±0.22)％](P＜0.05 or＜0.01).There were no significant difference in incidence of target lesion revascularization,cardiogenic death and major adverse cardiovascular events between two groups(P＞0.05 all).Conclusion:Drug-eluting stent combined drug-coated balloon may promote vascular branch dilation of coro-nary artery lesions,increase the minimum lumen diameter of sub-branch vessels,and reduce the occurrence of ste-nosis in the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesion,which had similar effectiveness and safety with drug-eluting stent technique.

Depression is a highly heterogeneous psychiatric disorder with complex pathogenesis influenced by the interplay of biological,psychological,and social-environmental factors.Based on the 2021 edition of the Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Depressive Disorders,which explicitly identify gender as a significant risk factor for depression onset,this paper systematically reviews the gender-differentiated pathogenesis and therapeutic advances in depression from both traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and Western medical perspectives.In Western medicine,a large number of studies have demonstrated the sex-specific mechanism of estrogen/testosterone fluctuations and monoamine transmitter system regulation.While in TCM,although the constitution theory proposes that there are significant gender differences in congenital constitution and that qi depression and qi deficiency are associated with susceptibility to depression,current evidence primarily relies on cross-sectional surveys and lacks validation through high-quality RCTs.Compared with Western medicine,the direct research on gender-differentiated antidepressant effects in TCM remains relatively underdeveloped.In future study,it may be possible to deepen and improve the research on anti-depression in TCM from the biological markers of particular constitutions in the gender dimension.This paper advocates establishing a bio-psycho-social integrated intervention model,advancing mechanistic exploration through prospective cohort studies and multi-omics technologies,and promoting precision diagnosis and treatment systems based on gender differences,and to form a three-dimensional diagnosis and treatment and research system that covers biomarkers,social role assessment,and TCM constitution identification,in order to provide a new theoretical framework and a practical pathway for the precise medical treatment of depression.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the clinicopathological features of diffuse pulmonary menin-gotheliomatosis(DPM).Methods The clinical data of 10 patients with DPM undergoing video-assisted thoracic sur-gery(VATS)were collected,and their clinical and pathological characteristics were analyzed using immunohistochem-istry.Results The detection rate of DPM was 1.19‰,with 90％of the patients being female.DPM predominantly occurred in the age range of 40-60 years,with an average age at diagnosis of 50.7 years.Most patients had no smok-ing history.Pathological diagnosis combined with imaging findings was the main method for diagnosing DPM.80％of the patients were prone to concurrent early-stage invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma.Laboratory indicators,including pulmonary function,were generally normal.Chest CT showed diffuse multiple ground-glass opacity or cystic nodules in both lungs,with the number of nodules in both lungs ranging from dozens to hundreds,and the maximum diameter of the nodules was 2-6 mm.The median volume and CT value of the pulmonary nodules were 35.32 mm3 and-566 HU,respectively.Pathological features mainly included multiple meningothelial-like nodules observed under the micro-scope.Immunophenotypically,CD56,EMA,PR,and vimentin were often positive.Conclusion DPM is a rare lung disease with no obvious clinical symptoms,and is more common in middle-aged and elderly women.Diffuse multiple nodules in both lungs are its main imaging features.Most DPM patients are complicated with lung adenocarcinoma,and regular follow-up is recommended.

This study was aimed at determining the molecular characteristics of Yersinia pestis in the natural plague foci around Qinghai Lake through single nucleotide polymorphism technology,to lay a foundation for molecular epidemiological and source-tracing analysis of Y.pestis in this area.Using the whole genome sequencing technology,we obtained the whole genome sequences of 84 representative Y.pestis strains.Using the sequences of Y.pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis IP32953 from the NCBI database as references,we compared and analyzed the 2 298 SNP loci of these strains.From 1957 to 2020,84 representative strains of Y.pestis from the natural plague foci around Qinghai Lake were divided into two clades:1.IN2 and 3.ANT1.The 1.IN2 clade was the characteristic population of Y.pestis throughout all epidemic years in this area.Additionally,analysis of the SNP distribution and hosts in the region indicated that the 1.IN2 clade was located in five counties except Wulan,whereas the 3.ANT1 clade was isolated from Himalayan marmot and dog in two counties.In conclusion,the population structure of SNP of Y.pestis in the natural plague foci around Qinghai Lake is relatively simple,and SNP analysis of Y.pestis provided a scientific basis for tracing plague epidemic sources and formulating plague prevention and control measures in this area.
