OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects and potential mechanism of ulinastatin （UTI） on cisplatin （CP）-induced myocardial injury. METHODS Rabbits were used as study subjects and randomly divided into blank group （normal saline 2 mL/d， for consecutive 7 d）， CP group （150 mg/m2， on the 1st and 4th day）， UTI low-dose/high-dose group （UTIL/UTIH group， UTL 25 000 or 50 000 IU/kg， once a day， for consecutive 7 d）， c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK） inhibitor group （JNKi group， SP600125 15 mg/kg， on the 1st and 4th day+CP 150 mg/m2， on the 1st and 4th day+normal saline 2 mL/d， on the other 5 days）. Except for the blank group， rabbits in the other groups were injected with relevant medicine and/or normal saline via a marginal ear vein on one side. The serum level of cardiac troponin Ⅰ （cTnⅠ） in rabbits on the 1st and 8th days of the detection experiment， as well as the levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione （GSH） and malondialdehyde （MDA） in myocardial tissue on the 8th day of the experiment， were all measured in each group. The pathological changes and myocardial cell apoptosis in myocardial tissue were observed， and the protein expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）， JNK， phosphorylated JNK （P-JNK）， mitochondrial fission factor （Mff）， and dynamin-related protein 1 （Drp1） in myocardial tissue were all determined. RESULTS Compared with the blank group， the CP group showed significant myocardial injury. The cell apoptotic rate， the levels of cTnⅠ in serum and MDA in myocardial tissue， as well as protein expressions of Bax， JNK， p-JNK， Mff， and Drp1， were all significantly increased or up-regulated， SOD level and protein expression of Bcl-2 significantly reduced or down+regulated（P＜0.05）. Compared with the CP group， the myocardial injury in rabbits from each drug treatment group showed improvement. The cell apoptosis index， the levels of cTnⅠ in serum and MDA in myocardial tissue， as well as protein expressions of Bax， JNK， p-JNK， Mff （except for UTIL group）， and Drp1， were all significantly reduced or down-regulated， while SOD， GSH level and protein expression of Bcl-2 significantly increased or up-regulated （P＜0.05）； moreover， the improvement in some indicators was significantly better in the UTIH group and the JNKi group compared to the UTIL group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS UTI may ameliorate CP-induced myocardial injury， the potential mechanism of which may be associated with antagonizing oxidative stress and inhibiting the JNK/Mff signaling pathway.

Objective: To analyze the effects of health literacy on overweight and obesity among primary school students and their parents in terms of salt, oil and sugar reduction (referred to as the "three reductions"), so as to provide a theoretical basis for the development of obesity control measures. Methods: From March to April 2024, a total of 1 022 fourthgrade primary school students and 913 parents were surveyed in 24 classes in six counties in Shandong Province using multistage cluster random sampling, and physical measurements of primary school students were conducted. Pearsons correlation analysis and ordered multivariate Logistic regression were used to investigate the associations between health literacy of primary school students and their parents with overweight and obesity among children. Results: The detection rates of overweight and obesity primary school students in Shandong Province were 14.87% and 24.66%, respectively, with significant sex difference in obesity rate (29.46% for boys and 19.76% for girls) (χ2=12.93, P<0.01). In addition to students reducing oil scores, parental reducing salt,reducing oil,reducing sugar, comprehensive health literacy scores and students reducing salt,reducing sugar and comprehensive health literacy scores showed a negative relationship with students overweight and obesity (r=-0.10, -0.08, -0.07, -0.10, -0.04, -0.07, -0.03, P<0.05). The overweight and obesity rates among primary school students with high parental reducing salt,reducing oil,reducing sugar and composite health literacy scores were lower (OR=0.69, 0.69, 0.71, 0.63, P<0.05); and the overweight and obesity rate among students with high parental and low parental and high and low parental health literacy scores were lower (OR=0.68, 0.57, P<0.05). Conclusion Improving health literacy regarding "three reductions" for parents and children, especially parents, can effectively reduce the risk of childhood overweight and obesity.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility， evaluation methods and metabolic differences of high-fat diet（HFD） combined with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury（MIRI） to establish a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion with phlegm and blood stasis blocking collaterals syndrome（PBSBCS）. MethodsThirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation， HFD， MIRI， and MIRI+HFD groups. Rats in the sham operation and MIRI groups were fed a standard diet（regular chow）， while the HFD and MIRI+HFD groups received a HFD for 10 weeks. Rats in the MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups underwent myocardial ischemia-reperfusion surgery， while the sham operation group underwent only thread placement without ligation. Cardiac function was assessed via small-animal echocardiography， including left ventricular ejection fraction（EF）， left ventricular fractional shortening（FS）， cardiac output（CO）， and stroke volume（SV）. Serum levels of creatine kinase（CK）， CK-MB， triglyceride（TG）， total cholesterol（TC）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol（HDL-C）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL-C）， lactate dehydrogenase（LDH）， endothelin-1（ET-1）， endothelial nitric oxide synthase（eNOS）， tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin-18（IL-18）， oxidized LDL（ox-LDL）， and cardiac troponin T（cTnT） were measured by biochemical assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. Myocardial histopathology was evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， while myocardial infarction and no-reflow area were assessed using 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride（TTC）， Evans blue， and thioflavin staining. Changes in syndrome characteristics［body weight， tongue surface red-green-blue ［RGB］ values， and pulse amplitude］ of PBSBCS were recorded. Serum differential metabolites were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group， the HFD and MIRI+HFD groups showed significant increases in body weight（P<0.01）， RGB values and pulse amplitude decreased in the HFD， MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups， TC， TG， LDL-C and ox-LDL levels increased in the HFD and MIRI+HFD groups， while HDL-C decreased. Blood perfusion peak time and myocardial no-reflow area increased， serum eNOS level decreased， and CK-MB， LDH， and cTnT activities increased in the HFD， MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Whole blood viscosity was increased in the HFD group at medium shear rate， and in the MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups at low， medium and high shear rates（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Platelet aggregation rate increased in the MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups， accompanied by elevated ET-1， TNF-α， and IL-18 levels， reduced cardiac function indices， expanded myocardial no-reflow and infarction areas， and increased serum CK， CK-MB， LDH， and cTnT activities（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the MIRI group， the HFD and MIRI+HFD groups showed significant increase in body weight， TC， TG， LDL-C and ox-LDL levels， and significant decrease in HDL-C content（P<0.01）. The MIRI+HFD group showed decrease in RGB values and pulse amplitude， and an increase in whole blood viscosity， platelet aggregation， blood perfusion peak time， myocardial no-reflow and infarction areas， elevated ET-1， TNF-α and IL-18 levels， decreased eNOS content， EF and SV， increased serum CK， CK-MB and cTnT activities， and worsened myocardial pathology（P<0.05）. Compared with the HFD group， the MIRI+HFD group showed similar aggravated trends（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Metabolomics results showed that 34 potential biomarkers involving 13 common metabolic pathways were identified in the MIRI+HFD group compared with the sham operation group. ConclusionThe MIRI group resembles blood stasis syndrome in hemodynamics and myocardial injury， and the HFD group mirrors phlegm-turbidity syndrome in lipid profiles and tongue characteristics. While the MIRI+HFD group aligns with PBSBCS in comprehensive indices， effectively simulating clinical features of coronary heart disease（CHD）， which can be used for the evaluation of the pathological mechanism and pharmacodynamics of CHD with PBSBCS.

ObjectiveTo explore the optimal construction method and the biological basis for establishing a mouse model of ischemic heart disease（IHD） with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome by intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol（ISO）. MethodsA total of 144 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned into three normal groups and nine model groups according to body mass， with 12 mice in each group. The model groups 1， 4， and 7 were administered ISO via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 for four consecutive days， the model groups 2， 5， and 8 received ISO at a dose of 10 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 for seven consecutive days， while the model groups 3， 6， and 9 were given ISO at a dose of 15 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 for 14 consecutive days. The normal groups were administered an equivalent volume of normal saline via intraperitoneal injection. After the modeling process， body mass， 24-hour food and water intake， grip strength， and spontaneous activity of the mice were measured. Cardiac function was assessed using echocardiography， the serum levels of norepinephrine（NE）， cyclic adenosine monophosphate（cAMP）， and cyclic guanosine monophosphate（cGMP） were determined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. The content of adenosine triphosphate（ATP） in myocardial tissue was measured by biochemical analysis， while histopathological changes in myocardial tissue were observed via hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining. An orthogonal experimental design was applied for intuitive analysis and variance analysis to screen the optimal modeling conditions of the mouse model of IHD with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome. A data-dependent acquisition（DDA） proteomic technique was employed to quantitatively detect differentially expressed proteins in myocardial tissue between the optimal model group and the normal group. And bioinformatics analysis was conducted to explore the potential biological mechanisms underlying the Qi and Yin deficiency model of IHD. ResultsOrthogonal results showed that the injection cycle had a great influence on model establishment， and the optimal modeling condition was identified as intraperitoneal injection of ISO at 15 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 for 14 consecutive days. Under this condition， compared with the normal group， the model group demonstrated significant reductions in body mass， food intake， water intake， grip strength， total distance and average speed of exercise， ejection fraction（EF）， fractional shortening（FS）， serum levels of NE and cGMP， and myocardial ATP content（P<0.01）， while immobility time， cAMP level， and the cAMP/cGMP value were significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）. HE staining results revealed that myocardial tissue in the model group had disordered cell arrangement， inflammatory cell infiltration， myocardial fiber rupture， and fibrous tissue proliferation. Proteomic analysis identified 141 differentially expressed proteins in the model group compared with the normal group， with 52 up-regulated and 89 down-regulated. Gene Ontology（GO） functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the cellular components（CC） were mainly related to mitochondria and the inner mitochondrial membrane， the biological processes（BP） were associated with complement activation， platelet activation， and responses to metal ions， suggesting that the potential functional pathways involved the complement and coagulation cascade， as well as porphyrin metabolism. ConclusionContinuous intraperitoneal injection of ISO at a dose of 15 mg·kg^-1 for 14 days successfully establishes a mouse model of IHD with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome， and the underlying mechanisms may be related to the regulation of iron ions by complement C3， C5 and Cp， and plays a role in the regulation through the BP of complement activation， platelet activation， and responses to metal ions， and the signaling pathways of the complement and coagulation cascade and porphyrin metabolism.

ObjectiveTo investigate the preparation method of a mouse model of cerebral infarction with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome induced by streptozotocin（STZ） combined with the photochemical method， and to evaluate the biological basis of the established model. MethodsForty C57B6/J mice were randomly divided into the normal and model groups， with 20 mice in each group. The normal group received no treatment， while the model group was injected intraperitoneally with 55 mg·kg^-1 of STZ once a day for 5 days. Fourteen days post-STZ induction， 10 mice from the normal group were randomly taken into the photochemical group， while 10 mice from the model group were randomly taken into the STZ+photochemical group. Rose Bengal solution injection combined with 520 nm laser irradiation was used to cause thrombosis and induce cerebral infarction in mice. Syndrome indexes for Qi and Yin deficiency were assessed by general state observation， body weight， grip strength， rectal temperature， behavioral experiments， energy metabolism， tongue color［red（R）， green（G）， blue（B）］ values， adenosine triphosphate（ATP） content， corticotropin-releasing factor（CRF） and triiodothyronine（T3） levels. The pathological changes of cerebral infarction in mice were evaluated by detecting serum superoxide dismutase（SOD）， interleukin-1β（IL-1β）， IL-6， and tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α） levels in combination with Bederson score. Finally， the endogenous metabolites in mice were detected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）， and multivariate statistical analysis was performed by partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）. The data filtering criteria were set as variable importance in the projection（VIP） value> 1， fold change（FC）<0.8 or FC>1.2， P<0.05， to obtain differential metabolites. Then MetaboAnalyst 3.0 was utilized for pathway enrichment analysis of the differential metabolites， aiming to explore the metabolic profile changes and biological basis of mice with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome of cerebral infarction. ResultsRegarding the syndrome indicators， compared with the normal group， the mice in the model group had lower body weight， higher rectal temperature， lower limb motor ability and energy metabolism efficiency， lower ATP content， lower R， G and B values of the tongue surface， and lower speed of blood glucose regression（P<0.05， P<0.01）. As for the disease indicators， compared with the normal group， the Bederson scores of the photochemical group and the STZ+photochemical group increased， the grip strength decreased， the SOD level decreased， and the levels of inflammatory factors increased（P<0.05）. The results of metabolomics showed that a good separation pattern of components was observed among mice in each group， with significant differences in components. Identification of MS data revealed a total of 44 differential metabolites in mice with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome of cerebral infarction. Among them， 32 metabolites were up-regulated， mainly including triglycerides， diglycerides， phospholipids， and ceramides. And 12 metabolites were down-regulated， mainly including amino acid and phosphate metabolites. Pathway enrichment analysis of the above differential metabolites indicated that the metabolic pathways were mainly enriched in folate biosynthesis， terpenoid skeleton biosynthesis， glycerophospholipid metabolism， vitamin B₆ metabolism， glycerolipid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism. These pathways were involved in multiple processes such as lipid transport， insulin resistance， and energy metabolism. ConclusionThe method of STZ injection combined with photochemical induction can successfully establish a mouse model of cerebral infarction with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome， and intervene in vivo processes such as folate biosynthesis， glycerophospholipid metabolism， and glycerolipid metabolism.

ConclusionContinuous intraperitoneal injection of ISO at a dose of 15 mg·kg^-1 for 14 days successfully establishes a mouse model of IHD with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome， and the underlying mechanisms may be related to the regulation of iron ions by complement C3， C5 and Cp， and plays a role in the regulation through the BP of complement activation， platelet activation， and responses to metal ions， and the signaling pathways of the complement and coagulation cascade and porphyrin metabolism.
