Objective: To construct a framework for risk identification and mechanistic explanation of conduct problems in adolescents, so as to provide a basis for formulating effective prevention strategies. Methods: In October 2025, a total of 2 126 junior and senior high school students from Zibo City in Shandong Province, Zhengzhou City in Henan Province, and Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using a combination of convenience sampling and random cluster sampling. The instruments included the Adolescent Conduct Problem Tendency Questionnaire, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Callous- Unemotional Traits Scale, Parenting Style Scale, Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve Scale, Perceived School Climate Scale, and the School Context Subscale of the Multiple Violence Exposure Scale. Machine learning algorithms and response surface methodology (RSM) were employed to reveal the non linear interactive effects of risk factors on adolescent conduct problems. Results: Impulsive personality ranked first in feature importance, followed by neglectful parenting style and perceived school climate. Impulsive personality and neglectful parenting style both positively predicted rule breaking ( B =0.42, 0.16) and aggression tendencies( B =0.41,0.14), with the interaction effect between the two being significantly negative in both cases ( B =-0.19,-0.08); impulsive personality ( B =0.33) and perceived school climate ( B =0.47) positively predicted addiction tendency, with the interaction term being significantly negative ( B =-0.16)(all P <0.05). For rule breaking tendency, the congruence slope (0.58), congruence curvature (-0.16), incongruence slope (0.26), and incongruence curvature (0.22) all reached statistical significance (all P <0.05). For addiction tendency, the congruence slope (0.79), incongruence slope (-0.15), and incongruence curvature (0.34) all reached statistical significance (all P <0.05). For aggression tendency, the congruence slope (0.55), incongruence slope (0.26), and incongruence curvature (0.15) all reached statistical significance(all P <0.05). Conclusion Impulsive personality is the core driver of rule breaking and aggression tendencies, with neglectful parenting style playing a moderating role; perceived school climate is the core driver of addiction tendency and exhibits an interactive inhibition effect with impulsive personality.

The phenotype of peri-implant soft tissue is crucial to the long-term treatment outcome of implant restoration, but soft tissue phenotype deficiencies are common in clinical practice and need to be improved through soft tissue augmentation. Although autologous soft tissue graft is still the gold standard for soft tissue augmentation, it has limitations such as limited donor area, increased trauma, and low patient acceptance. Plasmatrix has sufficient sources, is easy to prepare, and has a scaffold structure, growth factors, and cell components that support soft tissue growth. It can be used to improve the phenotype of peri-implant soft tissue. However, there are currently limited clinical studies on the application of plasmatrix in improving the phenotype of peri-implant soft tissue, and there is a lack of consensus conclusions, which makes the majority of clinicians feel confused when using plasmatrix. This article will try to combine existing clinical studies and the clinical experience of the author′s team to explain the classification of peri-implant soft tissue phenotypes and the application of plasmatrix in improving soft tissue phenotypes, in order to provide a reference for related clinical treatments.

BACKGROUND:Total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens have a variety of pharmacological effects,including anti-inflammatory,immunomodulatory,antioxidant,and anti-hepatic injury,but the therapeutic effects and mechanisms in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are not clear.OBJECTIVE:To reveal the mechanism of total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease using bioinformatics,network pharmacology and zebrafish experimental validation.METHODS:A zebrafish model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was constructed to observe lipid accumulation,pathomorphologic changes,and expression of inflammatory genes in the liver of zebrafish after treatment with total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens.The active ingredients of total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-related targets were obtained from TCMSP,Swiss Target Prediction,and Bat-man databases.STRING was used to perform protein-protein interaction network analysis,GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis.Based on the GSE33814 dataset,the differentially expressed genes of total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease intersection targets were screened out.Correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve were performed using R4.3.2 software.Core genes were verified by the validation set GSE89632.RT-qPCR and western blot assays were performed to verify the expression of core pathway-related genes and proteins.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens could improve lipid accumulation in the liver of zebrafish with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,significantly inhibited the elevation of lipid and aminotransferase levels in zebrafish(P<0.05),and regulated the expression of genes related to inflammation and lipid metabolism.(2)A total of 168 common targets were obtained using the network pharmacology,and top 10 core genes,identified by Cytoscape topology analysis,were HSP90AA1,STAT3,PIK3R1,MAPK1,AKT1,RXRA,PIK3CA,EGFR,JAK2,and ESR1.GO and KEGG analysis pathways mainly included insulin resistance,lipids,and atherosclerosis.There were a total of 59 differentially expressed genes after intersection of total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease targets.The receiver operating characteristic curve and validation set analyses yielded six core targets that were significantly different between healthy individuals and patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(P<0.01).(3)RT-PCR and western blot results verified that total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens inhibited the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in zebrafish.To conclude,total flavonoids from Sophora flavescens may alleviate the inflammatory response through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,thus inhibiting lipid accumulation and improving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
