Objective: To investigate the correlation of emotional and behavioral problems with sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy, so as to provide reference for intervention of emotional and behavioral problems in children. Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted, and 402 children aged 6-18 with cerebral palsy who were adopted by social welfare institutions in Guangzhou City from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected to investigate their full time nurses. The Parents Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess the emotional and behavioral problems of children with cerebral palsy, and the Children s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep problems. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the sleep problem of children with cerebral palsy and the emotional and behavioral problems. Results: The prevalence of emotional and behavioral difficulties among children with cerebral palsy was 15.7%. The median sleep problem score of children with emotional and behavioral problems [37.0(36.0, 41.0)] was significantly higher than that of children without emotional and behavioral [35.0(34.0, 36.0)] ( Z =-5.74, P <0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting covariables such as age, gender, cerebral palsy classification, language retardation, visual impairment and epilepsy, the total sleep problem score of children with cerebral palsy was positively correlated with the total difficulty score ( β= 0.28, 95%CI =0.17-0.34, P <0.05). Conclusions Sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy are associated with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Understanding of the management of sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy should be enhanced to reduce the incidence of emotional and behavioral problems in children with cerebral palsy.

ObjectiveA qualitative analysis method was established for the composition of Astragali Radix（AR） before and after rice stir-frying. On the basis of systematic characterization of the chemical compositions in AR and stir-fried AR with rice（ARR）， the structures of their major compounds were deduced and identified， and the differential compositions between them were analyzed. MethodsUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was used to detect the samples of AR and ARR in positive and negative ion modes， respectively. The compounds were analyzed and identified through self-constructed databases， literature， and reference standards， etc. And the data were analyzed by chemometrics， in order to screen for the differential components between AR and ARR. ResultsA total of 123 compounds were identified in AR and ARR， including 41 flavonoids， 19 terpenoids， 26 organic acids， 8 amino acids， 5 nucleotides， 5 carbohydrates and 19 other compounds. Among them， there were 95 common components in both， 18 unique components in AR， and 10 unique components in ARR. Principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） results both showed that there were significant differences in the chemical constituents of AR before and after rice stir-frying， and a total of 26 constituents with differences in the content were screened out， including L-canavanine， L-pyroglutamic acid， L-phenylalanine， cis-caffeic acid， and malonylastragaloside Ⅰ. Among them， 19 constituents of ARR were down-regulated and 7 constituents were up-regulated by comparing with AR. ConclusionThis study clarifies that the chemical composition of AR and ARR is mainly composed of flavonoids， terpenoids， and organic acids， and analyzes the components with significant differences in content between the two in combination with chemometrics， and the differential components are dominated by amino acids， organic acids and terpenoids， which can provide reference for the subsequent quality control and material basis research.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Zuogui Jiangtang Yishen Formula (左归降糖益肾方, ZGJTYSF) in regulating the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) signaling axis on pyroptosis in rats with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Methods: Fifty male specific pathogen-free (SPF) grade Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats (12 weeks old) were fed a high-fat diet for one month to establish an early DKD model. Model establishment was confirmed when fasting blood glucose (FBG) ≥ 11.1 mmol/L and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) ≥ 30 mg/g. The successfully modeled early DKD rats were randomly divided by random number table into five groups (n = 10 per group): model group; dapagliflozin group (1.0 mg/kg, by gavage, served as positive control); and low-, medium-, and high-dose of ZGJTYSF groups (4.9, 9.9, and 19.9 g/kg, respectively, by gavage). Age-matched male SPF Wistar rats (n = 10) served as control group. Rats in control and model groups were gavaged with equivalent volumes of distilled water. Treatment lasted 12 weeks. Changes in uACR, FBG, and renal function were observed in all groups. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE), periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), and Masson staining were used to observe renal histopathological changes. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the localization and expression of caspase-1, GSDMD, and NLRP3 in rat renal tissues. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) nick end labeling (TUNEL) was utilized to detect pyroptosis in renal tissues. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blot were applied to detect mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18. Results: Compared with model group, all doses of ZGJTYSF showed reductions in FBG, with medium- and high-dose of ZGJTYSF groups demonstrating significant decreases at week 8 and 12 (P < 0.05). For uACR, all doses of ZGJTYSF groups exhibited a decreasing trend, with high-dose of ZGJTYSF group being significantly lower than low- and medium-dose of ZGJTYSF groups at week 12 (P < 0.05) and showing no significant difference from dapagliflozin group (P > 0.05). No significant differences in renal function parameters (serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and uric acid) were observed among groups (P > 0.05). Histopathological examination revealed milder glomerular and tubular lesions in both ZGJTYSF groups and dapagliflozin group, with renal pathological changes in high-dose of ZGJTYSF group resembling those in dapagliflozin group. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated significantly reduced expression of caspase-1, GSDMD, and NLRP3 in renal tissues of dapagliflozin group and high-dose of ZGJTYSF group compared with model group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), while the differences in low- and medium-dose of ZGJTYSF groups were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). TUNEL assay showed significantly fewer TUNEL-positive cells in renal tissues of dapagliflozin and high-dose of ZGJTYSF groups (P < 0.01), indicating a marked reduction in pyroptotic cells. Molecular analysis revealed that compared with model group, both dapagliflozin and high-dose of ZGJTYSF groups showed significantly downregulated mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18 in renal tissues (P < 0.01), while low- and medium-dose of ZGJTYSF groups showed downward trends without statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusion ZGJTYSF may inhibit renal pyroptosis by regulating the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD signaling axis, thereby preventing and treating early renal injury in DKD and delaying the onset and progression of DKD.

Circadian rhythm is a biological endogenous process regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, which transmits light signals to peripheral clocks and synchronizes the body with the external environment through balanced expression of circadian rhythm genes. Working the night shift, sleep disorders, and exposure to artificial light can lead to disturbances in circadian rhythm and genetic imbalances. A substantial body of research has demonstrated that circadian rhythm plays a significant role in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and neurodegenerative disorders, with increasing attention being directed toward their impact on oral health. Disturbances in circadian rhythm primarily affect psycho-neuro-immune mechanisms, oxidative stress responses, and oral microflora through pathways such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis), brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1)-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, and BMAL1-nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) interactions. These disruptions may influence the progression of oral diseases. Certain pharmacological agents (e.g., melatonin, vitamin D, nobiletin, and propofol) have been shown to regulate mood disorders, immune function, and sleep-wake cycles by upregulating BMAL1 expression, thus alleviating disturbances in circadian rhythm. In addition, non-pharmacological interventions, such as sleep management strategies, psychotherapy approaches, and light therapy, also modulate these processes through HPA axis regulation. Currently, the specific mechanisms by which circadian rhythm regulates BDNF levels, T cell subsets, and inflammatory signals—thereby influencing both pathogenesis and treatment outcomes for oral diseases—remain unclear. Future research should focus on elucidating these molecular mechanisms as well as identifying therapeutic targets related to circadian rhythm within the oral health context. Further, multidisciplinary collaboration encompassing pharmacy, sleep behavior studies, and psychology will be instrumental in advancing prevention strategies and treatments for oral diseases.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of a multidisciplinary weight management intervention, so as to provide a reference for the formulation of overweight and obesity intervention measures. Methods: From April to September 2025, overweight and obese residents aged 18-60 years who participated in a weight loss competition at the Health Management Center of Beilun People's Hospital in Ningbo City were selected as study subjects. They were divided into a control group and an intervention group. The control group received conventional weight management, while the intervention group received the multidisciplinary integrated weight management in addition to the conventional weight management, for a total intervention period of 8 weeks. Weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and blood pressure were collected before and after the intervention through physical examinations and laboratory tests. The generalized estimating equations (GEE) method was employed to analyze the differences in indicators between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: The control group comprised 241 participants, including 161 females (66.80%), with a mean age of (35.66±7.80) years. The intervention group consisted of 127 participants, including 86 females (67.72%), with a mean age of (36.80±7.05) years. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups at baseline in terms of age, gender, weight, BMI, or waist-to-hip ratio (all P>0.05). Results from the GEE analysis indicated significant interactions between group and time for weight, BMI, waist circumference, and hip circumference (all P<0.05) with greater reductions in these parameters observed in the intervention group compared to the control group before and after the intervention. Similarly, significant interactions between group and time were observed for FBG, TG, TC, and LDL-C (all P<0.05), with the intervention group demonstrating larger decreases in these markers compared to the control group. However, no statistically significant interactions between group and time were observed for waist-to-hip ratio, HDL-C, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure (all P>0.05). Following the intervention, a weight loss exceeding 10% was achieved by 13 participants (5.39%) in the control group and 62 participants (48.82%) in the intervention group. The proportion of individuals with a weight loss exceeding 10% was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared to conventional weight management, multidisciplinary integrated weight management demonstrated greater efficacy in improving weight-related indicators and blood glucose, blood lipids, and enhancing weight loss outcomes among overweight and obese residents.

Objective:To explore the effect of paeoniflorin on LPS-induced bronchial epithelial cell inflammatory response by regulating NF-κB pathway.Methods:BEAS-2B cells were cultured in vitro for paeoniflorin toxicity assay and concentration screening.BEAS-2B cells were divided into control group,LPS group,LPS+CAPE group,LPS+PF group and LPS+CAPE+PF group.Inflammatory responses were induced in BEAS-2B cells using LPS(1 μg/ml),and cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay after administration of paeoniflorin or CAPE interventions.Apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry.The levels of IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-17C and IL-10 were detected by ELISA.The protein expression levels of p53,Bcl-2,Bax,Cyclin1,NF-κB and p-p65 were detected by Western blot.Results:Paeoniflorin increased cell viability,inhibited apoptosis,increased IFN-γ and IL-10 levels(P<0.01),de-creased IL-4 and IL-17C levels(P<0.01),down-regulated the protein expression levels of p53,Bax,NF-κB and p-p65(P<0.01),and up-regulated the protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Cyclin1(P<0.01).The effect of paeoniflorin was more significant after the intervention of NF-κB inhibitor CAPE.Conclusion:Paeoniflorin reduces LPS-induced inflammatory factor levels in bronchial epithelial cells by regulating the NF-κB pathway,thereby suppressing the asthmatic inflammatory response.

Objective To analyze the changes of serum humoral immunity related indicators, including immunoglobulins (Ig), complement and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) at different stages. Methods A total of 131 OMDT patients were selected as the study subjects using a retrospective analysis method, and liver function and humoral immunity related indicators were collected for analysis in the early stage and the recovery stage of the disease. Results The abnormality of liver function among study subjects was 89.3% (117/131) in the early stage of the disease, with mild, moderate, and severe liver damage accounting for 61.8%, 5.3%, and 22.1%, respectively. The levels of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, total bile acid, IgG and CRP in the early stage increased ( all P<0.01), while the level of serum cholinesterase and C3 decreased (both P<0.01) compared with the recovery stage. However, there was no significant difference in the level of serum albumin, globulin, IgA, IgM and C4 or albumin/globulin ratio between the early stage and the recovery stage (all P>0.05). The level of patients′ serum IgA in the group with severe liver function injury was lower than that in the group with mild to moderate liver function injury in the recovery stage (P<0.05). The level of serum C3 in the patients with severe liver function injury was lower than that in the group with mild to moderate liver function injury in the early stage (P<0.05). Conclusion Serum IgG and CRP levels increased and C3 level decreased in OMDT patients at the early stage of the disease, which was correlated with the degree of liver function injury. It is suggested that humoral immune response is involved in the autoimmune liver injury in OMDT patients.

Objective:To evaluate the role of autophagy in hydrogen-rich solution-induced reduction of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in rats.Methods:Thirty-two clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2-3 months, weighing 240-260 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) by a random number table method: incisional pain group (group I), remifentanil+ incisional pain group (group RI), hydrogen-rich solution+ remifentanil+ incisional pain group (group HRI), and hydrogen-rich solution + autophagy inhibitor+ remifentanil+ incisional pain group (MHRI group). The tail vein was catheterized, the equal volume of normal saline was intravenously infused for 60 min while the incisional pain model was developed in group I, and remifentanil was intravenously infused at a rate of 1 μg·kg -1·min -1 for 60 min while the incisional pain model was developed in RI, HRI and MHRI groups, hydrogen-rich solution 10 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 10 min before preparing the model in group HRI, and 3-MA 15 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before preparing the model in MHRI group, and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group HRI. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were determined at 24 h before and 2, 6, 24 and 48 h after the end of infusion. The rats were sacrificed under anesthesia after the behavioral testing, and the lumbar enlargement segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ), Beclin-1 and P62 by Western blot. Results:Compared with the baseline at T 0, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4 in the four groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group I, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was up-regulated, and the expression of P62 was down-regulated in group RI and group HRI ( P<0.05). Compared with group RI, the MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T 1-4 in group HRI and group MHRI, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was significantly up-regulated, and the expression of P62 was down-regulated in group HRI, and the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was significantly down-regulated, and the expression of P62 was up-regulated in group MHRI ( P<0.05). Compared with group HRI, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was down-regulated, and the expression of P62 was up-regulated in group MHRI ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which hydrogen-rich solution alleviates hyperalgesia may be related to enhancing the level of autophagy in the spinal cord of rats with incisional pain induced by remifentanil.
