Objective To investigate the protective effects and possible mechanisms of sofalcone on small intestinal mucosal damage induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)in rats.Methods In the first group of animal experiments,rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal control group,diclofenac group(diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1),and sofalcone high-doses groups(sofalcone 10 mg·kg-1+diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1),sofalcone medium-doses groups(sofalcone 5 mg·kg-1+diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1),and sofalcone low-doses groups(sofalcone 2 mg·kg-1+diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1).Each group received daily gavage for seven days.Serum D-lactate levels were measured,and histological damage to the small intestine was assessed through HE staining and pathological scoring.In the second group,rats were separated into three groups:normal control group,diclofenac group(diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1),and sofalcone group(sofalcone 2 mg·kg-1+diclofenac 7.5 mg·kg-1).Concurrently,the rats'body mass,24-hour diet,and water intake were monitored.Additionally,serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6,IFN-γ,TNF-α,inflammatory markers CRP and D-lactate,as well as measurements of tissue reactive oxygen species(ROS),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),and mitochondrial membrane potential were conducted using appropriate kits.Western blotting was applied to assess the expression levels of intercellular junction proteins(Occludin,Claudin-1,α-Catenin),programmed necrosis pathway-associated proteins including receptor-interacting protein kinase 1(RIPK1),RIPK3,and mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase(MLKL)along with p-MLKL.Results In the first experiment,the diclofenac group exhibited significant histological damage to the small intestine,with elevated levels of D-lactic acid and pathological scores compared to the normal control group(P<0.01).Following intervention with sofalcone,both the histological damage and the levels of D-lactic acid and pathological scores in the small intestine were notably reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01).However,there was no substantial difference in pathological scores among different doses of sofaclone groups(P>0.05).In the second experiment,compared with normal control group,rats in the diclofenac group showed decreased body mass,24-hour average diet and water intake,along with elevated levels of IL-6,IFN-γ,TNF-α,CRP,D-lactic acid,tissue ROS,LDH activity,RIPK1,RIPK3,and p-MLKL/MLKL protein expression levels,as well as mitochondrial membrane potential(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Moreover,Occludin,Claudin-1,and α-Catenin protein expression levels were reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Following sofalcone intervention,the previously mentioned parameters were reversed(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Notably,there was no statistically significant difference observed in the reduction of RIPK1 protein expression(P>0.05).Conclusions Sofalcone reduces NSAID-induced small intestinal mucosal injury in rats by inhibiting the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL-dependent programmed necrosis pathway.

Cancer incidence in China has been rising steadily,with a particularly heavy burden from several high-prevalence malignancies.Medical examination for cancer plays a critical role in the early detection of cancer,precancerous lesions,and precursor conditions,thereby facilitating timely diagnosis and intervention.Such examination also addresses the growing demand for person-alized cancer screening services among diverse population groups.The development of evidence-based,context-specific cancer screening guidelines is essential to enhance the standardization,quality,and equity of preventive screening practices across the country,ultimately improving out-comes in early cancer detection and treatment.Guided by the Department of Medical Emergency Response of the National Health Commission,the Guidelines for Medical Examination for Cancer in Health Examination Agency(2025 Edition)were developed under the leadership of the National Cancer Center.A multidisciplinary panel of experts formulated the guidelines in accordance with the principles and methodology of the World Health Organization Handbook for Guideline Deve-lopment.The guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations on key clinical domains:target cancers and populations,overall screening workflow,screening protocols,diagnostic technolo-gies,result interpretation,follow-up procedures,and quality control.The primary objective is to standardize cancer screening practices in health examination agency and strengthen China's ca-pacity for prevention and control of high-burden cancers.

Objective:
The existence of activating transcription factor 1 (ATF1) could be employed as a clinical marker in the context of cervical cancer development, although its specific mechanism has not been fully clarified.
Methods:
To evaluate the presence of ATF1, miR-630, and myelin and lymphocyte protein 2 (MAL2) in cervical malignancies, we conducted quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot assays; further studied the expansion, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cervical carcinoma cells using colony formation assay, transwell, loss cytometry, Western blot.Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) were used to verify that ATF1 could directly transcriptionally repress miR-630; dual luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay were employed to confirm that miR-630 targeted to repress MAL2.
Results:
In cervical cancer cases, elevated ATF1 expression and reduced miR-630 expression were detected, displaying a negative relationship between them. Inhibition of ATF1 hindered the growth, migration, infiltration, and EMT in cervical carcinoma cells, while upregulation of miR-630 mitigated the aggressive characteristics of these cells. ATF1 was found to transcriptionally repress miR-630 by TransmiR and ALGGEN prediction and ChIP validation.MicroRNA modulates gene expression and affects cancer progression, and we discovered that miR-630 regulates cancer progression by targeting and inhibiting MAL2.
Conclusion
ATF1, which modulates the miR-630/MAL2 pathway, affects the EMT process and cervical carcinoma cell growth and spread. Therefore, ATF1 may serve as a promising marker and treatment target for cervical malignancies intervention.

Depression, as one of the most common mental disorders, has imposed a heavy burden on individuals and society due to its increasing incidence rate. Exploring innovative treatment methods has become a research hotspot in recent years. Virtual reality (VR) technology, with its advantages such as immersion, interactivity and scalability, provides a new intervention approach for the treatment of depression. This article reviews the existing clinical research evidence, deeply analyzes the clinical application and research progress of VR technology in the treatment of depression, objectively assesses its clinical efficacy and potential limitations, with the aim of providing a reference basis for subsequent research.
