ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of Shaoyao Gancaotang （SYGCT） on high-fat diet （HFD）-aggravated colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium （DSS） in mice and decipher the potential mechanism. MethodsForty male C57BL/6J mice were fed an HFD for 14 days， followed by gavage of 2%DSS for 7 days for the modeling of HFD-aggravated colitis. The mice were randomly allocated into control， model （HFD-aggravated colitis）， low-dose （5.2 g·kg^-1） SYGCT， high-dose （10.4 g·kg^-1） SYGCT， and 5-aminosalicylic acid （5-ASA， positive control， 50 mg·kg^-1） groups. Body mass changes and disease activity index （DAI） scores were recorded. The colon length was measured. Pathological changes in the colon tissue were observed through hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Transcriptomic analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes. Western blot was employed to quantify the protein levels of Occludin， Claudin3， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， and ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group exhibited diarrhea， bloody stools， increased DAI scores （P<0.01）， colon shortening （P<0.01）， severe colonic pathological damage， and reduced expression of tight junction proteins Occludin and Claudin3 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes between the high-dose SYGCT group and the model group were significantly enriched in the ferroptosis signaling pathway. Compared with the model group， SYGCT treatment alleviated diarrhea and bloody stools， reduced DAI scores （P<0.01）， increased the colon length （P<0.01）， mitigated colonic pathological damage， and upregulated the expression of Occludin and Claudin3 （P<0.01）， as well as proteins （SLC7A11， GPX4， and FTH1） associated with the inhibition of ferroptosis （P<0.05）. ConclusionSYGCT significantly ameliorates HFD-aggravated DSS-induced colitis by suppressing ferroptosis via activation of the SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure （ACLF） is a high-mortality syndrome that develops during the acute deterioration of chronic liver disease and is characterized by multiple organ dysfunction driven by systemic inflammation. Due to gut microbiota dysbiosis， endotoxin translocation， and amplified inflammatory responses， alcohol-related liver disease-associated ACLF （ALD-ACLF） is more pronounced and is often accompanied by a high risk of secondary infection and extrahepatic organ involvement， thereby exhibiting distinct etiological and clinical characteristics. This article systematically reviews the advances in the definitional boundaries， pathophysiological mechanisms， dynamic early warning， and prognostic assessment of ALD-ACLF， elaborates on risk stratification and key issues in clinical management， and discusses the potential impact of the dual-hit phenotype of metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-related liver disease on risk stratification in ALD-ACLF. This article also highlights the need to further strengthen etiology-oriented early identification， dynamic stratification， control of predisposing factors， and earlier intervention， in order to provide a reference for the precise assessment and individualized intervention of these patients.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the expression patterns of CYHR1 in colorectal cancer （CRC） and its regulatory role in tumour cell proliferation and metastasis-related phenotypes. MethodsExpression differences of CYHR1 between colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were analyzed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas （TCGA） database， and the association between CYHR1 expression and patient survival was evaluated. A CRC cell model with CYHR1 overexpression was established， and changes in the expression of related molecules were verified by quantitative real-time PCR （qRT-PCR）. Cell proliferation and metastatic potential were assessed using MTT assays， colony formation assays， and Transwell migration and invasion assays to evaluate the effects of CYHR1 and MALAT1 on CRC cell proliferation and migration/invasion， including combined intervention experiments. ResultsDatabase analysis revealed that CYHR1 is significantly overexpressed in CRC tissues， and that this overexpression is significantly associated with poorer overall survival. Compared with normal control cells， mRNA expression levels of CYHR1 were markedly elevated in CRC cell lines （HCT116， RKO， etc.） （P=0.002； P=0.006）. Functional experiments demonstrated that CYHR1 overexpression significantly promoted the proliferation （P＜0.001）， colony formation （P＜0.001）， migration （P=0.002） and invasive capacity （P=0.002） of HCT116 cells； whereas knockdown of either CYHR1 or MALAT1 inhibited CRC cell proliferation and reduced their migration （P=0.006） and invasive capacity （P=0.006）. In the context of CYHR1 overexpression， combined knockdown of MALAT1 partially reversed the promotional effect of CYHR1 on CRC cell proliferation， migration and invasion （P＜0.001； P=0.001）. Mechanistic studies further revealed that CYHR1 overexpression upregulates MALAT1 mRNA expression levels （P＜0.001）， whilst CYHR1 knockdown leads to downregulation of MALAT1 expression （P＜0.001）； MALAT1 knockdown likewise downregulates CYHR1 expression， suggesting a mutually reinforcing positive regulatory relationship between the two. Furthermore， CYHR1 can activate the IL-6/STAT3 signalling axis， whilst knockdown of IL-6 or STAT3 inhibited the upregulation of MALAT1 expression by CYHR1 （P=0.031； P=0.006）. ConclusionCYHR1 is abnormally overexpressed in colorectal cancer and is closely associated with poor prognosis. CYHR1 may promote the proliferation， migration， and invasion of colorectal cancer （CRC） cells by activating the IL-6/STAT3/MALAT1 axis.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic risk factors in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 101 elderly AML patients admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2022 to December 2024.All patients were treated with azacitidine+venetoclax regimen.The clinical characteristics of patients and the risk factors related to prognosis were explored.Results The median follow-up was 14 months.Among the 101 patients,74 achieved complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematological recovery.The median overall survival(OS)of patients with aged ≥70 years,white blood cell count＞50 × 109/L,TP53 mutation,complex chromosomes,and high-risk European leukemia net(ELN)risk stratification was significantly shortened(P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that age(HR=0.125,95％CI:0.023-0.662,P=0.015),white blood cell count(HR=0.145,95％CI:0.032-0.662,P=0.013),and ELN risk stratification(HR=100.397,95％CI:14.395-700.207,P＜0.001)were all independent influencing factors for OS in elderly AML patients.Conclusion Age,white blood cell count and ELN risk stratification are all independent influencing factors affecting OS in elderly AML patients.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the burden and trends of noncommunicable chronic disease(NCD) attributable to metabolic factors in China from 1990 to 2021.Methods:Data from the Global Burden of Diseases(GBD) 2021 database were utilized to describe changes in mortality and disability-adjusted life years(DALYs) of NCD in China from 1990 to 2021. Stratified analyses were conducted by age, sex, sociodemographic index(SDI), and related risk factors. Statistical analyses and predictions were conducted using the age-period-cohort model and the Nordpred model.Results:In 2021, the age-standardized mortality rate and age-standardized DALYs rate of NCD attributable to metabolic factors in China were 227.56 per 100 000 and 4 829.39 per 100 000, respectively. Their average annual percentage changes were -0.76%( P<0.001) and -0.77%( P<0.001). Overall, the burden decreased progressively with higher SDI levels. Analysis using the age-period-cohort model indicated reduced birth cohort and period effects for metabolic factor-attributable NCD, while age effects rose significantly. The minimum relative risk( RR) value was observed in the 15-19 age group( RR=0.01), and the maximum RR value occurred in the 95-99 age group( RR=996.86). The overall rising mortality trend indicated that age effects are the predominant driver at present. Projections estimate that by 2046, deaths from metabolic factor-attributable NCD in China will reach 8 189 563, with an age-standardized mortality rate of 236.95 per 100 000. Conclusions:China continues to face a substantial burden of NCD linked to metabolic factors, with older adults, males, and individuals with hypertension, diabetes, and prediabetes identified as key populations requiring targeted interventions.

Objective To investigate the mediating role of anxiety and depression in social sup-port and burnout among primary caregivers of stroke patients.Methods A convenience sampling method was employed to select 506 primary caregivers of stroke patients as research subjects.The Gen-eral Information Questionnaire,Caregiver Burnout Inventory for Stroke Patients,Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support,and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used for data col-lection.Results The total scores for caregiver burnout,social support,anxiety,and depression a-mong primarycaregivers of stroke patients were(72.83±14.32),(47.79±7.74),(10.49±3.00),and(10.45±3.06),respectively.Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between caregiver burnout and social support(r=-0.245,P＜0.001),and positive correlations with anxiety and depression(r=0.178,0.216,P＜0.001).Anxiety and depression partially media-ted the relationship between social support and caregiver burnout,accounting for 7.9％and 10.7％of the total effect,respectively.Conclusion Social support,anxiety,depression,and burnout are closely interrelated.Social support can directly or indirectly influence the occurrence of burnoutthrough anxiety and depression.Medical staff should pay attention to the anxiety and depression status of primary caregivers of stroke patients and enhance social support levels to reduce the incidence of burnout by alleviating anxiety and depression.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive inhibition in children with hearing impairment and the impact of different types of materials on their cognitive inhibition.Methods From June,2024 to January,2025,21 children with hearing impairment from Liaocheng Special Education School and 20 typically developing children from Guotun Town Central Primary School in Yanggu County,Liao-cheng were randomly selected.A directed forgetting task was used in a mixed experimental design.The experi-mental procedure was presented using Eprime 3.0,and recall performance was recorded through paper-and-pen-cil tests.Results Three children with hearing impairment and two typically developing children were dropped down.The children with hearing impairment scored significantly lower on recall tasks than the typically developing children(F=13.545,P<0.001).In the typically developing children,recall performance under the memory condition was sig-nificantly lower than under the forgetting condition(P<0.001).In the children with hearing impairment,there was no significant difference in recall performance between the memory condition and the forgetting condition(P>0.05).Regardless of whether the materials were letters or figures,all the children showed significantly high-er recall scores under the forgetting condition compared to the memory condition(P<0.01).Conclusion Children with hearing impairment exhibit weaker cognitive inhibition compared to typically developing chil-dren.The type of materials doesn't impact individuals'cognitive inhibition performance.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.
