ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanisms by which Huanglian Jiedutang (HLJDT) modulates microglial (MG) phenotypes through the sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 2 (SIGLEC2/CD22)/Src-homology-2-domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1 (SHP-1)/phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-Akt) signaling pathway, thereby promoting myelin repair and alleviating agitation-like behaviors in vascular dementia (VAD). MethodsSixty C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to a sham (normal) group, model group, HLJDT low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (2.5, 5, and 10 g·kg-1·d-1), and a risperidone group (2 mg·kg-1·d-1), with 10 mice per group. VAD was induced by bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS). From day 42, mice received drug interventions for 2 weeks. Agitation-like behaviors were assessed using the resident-intruder test. After behavioral testing, ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) tissues were collected. Western blot was used to measure protein levels of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), myelin basic protein (MBP), proteolipid protein (PLP), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), arginase-1 (Arg1), CD86, CD206, and CD22, SHP-1, and p-Akt. Immunofluorescence was used to evaluate myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) intensity and the proportion of iNOS+/ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1)+ cells. ELISA was used to detect tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group exhibited markedly increased biting and aggressive behaviors and shortened attack latency (P<0.01). MOG, MBP, and PLP protein levels and MAG fluorescence intensity were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). INOS and CD86 expression and TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels were significantly elevated (P<0.01). CD22 and SHP-1 expression increased significantly (P<0.01), whereas p-Akt expression decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the medium- and high-dose HLJDT groups and the risperidone group showed markedly reduced biting and aggression (P<0.05, P<0.01) and prolonged attack latency (P<0.01). MOG, MBP, and PLP levels and MAG fluorescence intensity were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). INOS, CD86, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). CD22 and SHP-1 expression decreased, while p-Akt expression increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionHLJDT may modulate CD22/SHP-1/p-Akt signaling in the VMHvl, promote the shift of MG toward an anti-inflammatory and phagocytic phenotype, enhance myelin repair, and improve agitation-like behaviors in VAD mice.

Objective:
To explore impacts of sports games designed based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model (IMB) on prosocial behavior in children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) attending regular classes, so as to provide a theoretical basis for promoting the development of prosocial behavior in school age IDD children.
Methods:
From February to March 2023, 40 children with intellectual disabilities aged 8-9 who were enrolled in ordinary schools in Beijing were recruited by using WeChat parents to send messages. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (19 before intervention, 17 after intervention) and a control group (19 before intervention, 19 after intervention) by lottery method. During the study period, children in both groups received the same frequency and quality of regular physical activities. The experimental group, in addition, underwent a 13 week sports game intervention based on the IMB model, 4 times a week, each session lasting 50 minutes. The sports game intervention scheme based on IMB model was divided into two modules,including basic training and development training:low difficulty sports game intervention based on emotion recognition, and medium low difficulty and medium difficulty sports game intervention based on social training such as "prosocial". The Griffith Empathy Measure (GEM) and the Prosocial Behavior Scale for Adolescents (PBSA) were used to assess empathy ability and prosocial behavior levels of children in both groups before and after the intervention.
Results:
After intervention, the cognitive empathy dimension, emotional empathy dimension and total score of GEM in the experimental group (39.15±2.85, 38.54±1.94, 77.69±3.95) were higher than control group (32.18±4.18, 32.28± 4.28, 64.56±6.48) and before intervention (33.92±4.94, 31.30±4.61, 65.23±8.47), and the differences were statistically significant ( F =12.06, 6.99, 14.90; 8.95, 7.36, 13.22, P <0.05). After intervention, compliance with public welfare factors, trait factors and total score (31.33±1.97, 16.67±1.03, 71.83±2.93) were higher than control group (22.65±1.58, 12.59±0.71, 59.47± 2.18 ) and before intervention (22.00±1.27, 12.17±0.75, 58.00±1.67), and the differences were statistically significant ( F = 17.00 , 36.54, 12.71; 29.87, 13.09, 13.12, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Sports game intervention based on IMB model can effectively promote the development of prosocial behavior of children with IDD attending regular classes.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of different daily doses of aspirin in the prevention of preeclampsia (PE). METHODS The case-control studies and prospective randomized controlled trials on aspirin with daily dose ≥ 100 mg (trial group) vs. <100 mg (control group) in the prevention of PE were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, China Biomedical Literatue Database and Wanfang Data from base-building to January 2025. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 11 literatures were included, involving 3 052 pregnant women. Meta-analysis showed the incidence of PE [RR=0.63, 95%CI (0.53,0.76), P<0.000 01], gestational hypertension [RR=0.69, 95%CI (0.50,0.94),P=0.02], preterm birth [RR=0.56, 95%CI (0.47,0.66), P<0.000 01], and intrauterine growth retardation [RR=0.73,95%CI (0.61,0.87),P=0.000 5] in trial groups were significantly lower than control group. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage between the two groups had no statistically significant difference [RR=1.17, 95%CI (0.90,1.53),P=0.25]. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of PE in Chinese pregnant women taking 150 mg of aspirin was significantly higher than taking 100 mg of aspirin [RR=3.40, 95%CI (1.29, 8.93), P=0.01]; but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, preterm birth (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Aspirin with daily dose ≥100 mg is more effective in preventing PE than daily dose <100 mg, with lower rates of gestational hypertension, preterm birth, and intrauterine growth retardation. It does not increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. For pregnant women in China, daily dose 100 mg of aspirin may be more effective in preventing PE than 150 mg.

ObjectiveTo investigate the ameliorative effects of quercetin on neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with vascular dementia (VaD) and to elucidate the molecular mechanism, specifically whether quercetin inhibits pro-inflammatory activation of microglia by modulation of the receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/Caspase-1 signaling pathway, thereby promoting myelin repair in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). MethodsA C57BL/6J mouse model of VaD with neuropsychiatric symptoms was established by bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) combined with chronic restraint stress (CRS). Mice were randomly divided into a sham group, a model group, low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose quercetin groups (30, 60, 120 mg·kg-1·d-1), and a fluoxetine group (10 mg·kg-1·d-1). After intervention, depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors were assessed by the sucrose preference test (SPT), forced swim test (FST), open field test (OFT), and elevated plus maze (EPM). mPFC tissue was collected. Immunofluorescence (IF) was used to detect myelin basic protein (MBP) expression and microglial morphology. Western blot was used to measure the protein level of MBP, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), CD86, RIPK1, phosphorylated RIPK1 (Ser166), NLRP3, and Caspase-1. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). ResultsCompared with the sham group, the model group exhibited significant depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors (P<0.01), significantly decreased protein expression of MBP, MOG, and MAG in the mPFC (P<0.01), activated microglia (characterized by enlarged cell bodies, reduced protrusions, and upregulated iNOS and CD86 expressions, P<0.01), and significantly elevated p-RIPK1/RIPK1 ratio, NLRP3, Caspase-1 protein expression, and level of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the quercetin treatment (especially at medium and high doses) significantly ameliorated these behavioral abnormalities (P<0.05, P<0.01), increased the expression of MBP (protein and fluorescence intensity), MOG, and MAG in the mPFC (P<0.05, P<0.01), suppressed excessive microglial activation (characterized decreased cell bodies, increased protrusions, and downregulated iNOS and CD86 expressions, P<0.01), and significantly reduced the p-RIPK1/RIPK1 ratio, NLRP3, Caspase-1 protein expression, and inflammatory cytokine levels (P<0.01). ConclusionQuercetin effectively alleviates neuropsychiatric symptoms in VaD mice. Its mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of microglial inflammatory activation mediated by the RIPK1/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway, thereby promoting myelin repair in the mPFC region.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of adult eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, endoscopic manifestations, histopathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of 29 adult patients with EGE admitted to Xijing Hospital from August 2008 to August 2024.Results:Among the 29 adult EGE cases investigated in this study, 17 cases were male and 12 were female. The mean age was (43±19) years old. The main clinical manifestations included abdominal pain (75.9%), diarrhea (58.6%), and weight loss (44.8%). The median absolute value of white blood cells in peripheral blood of the 29 patients was 7.47(6.66,12.47)×10 9/L, and the white blood cell count increased in 11 cases (37.9%). The median absolute value of eosinophil was 0.98 (0.21,4.76)×10 9/L, and the eosinophil counts increased in 18 cases (62.1%). The main endoscopic manifestations were mucosal hyperemia edema, erosion and roughness. The histopathological manifestations were characterized by abnormal infiltration of eosinophils. In addition, the most commonly involved locations were the ileocecal junction and colorectum. The treatment methods included food elimination, anti-secretory, anti-histamine, and corticosteroids. All patients were alleviated after treatment, but some patients relapsed after drug withdrawal. Conclusions:The main clinical manifestations of adult EGE were abdominal pain, diarrhea and weight loss. Some patients had elevated peripheral blood eosinophilia, and the main endoscopic manifestations were mucosal hyperemia and edema, erosion, and roughness. The histopathological manifestations were characterized by abnormal infiltration of eosinophils. Finally, EGE can be relieved by diet and drug therapy, but it is easy to relapse.
