Objective:To establish normal reference value ranges for dynamic balance function parameters in healthy Chinese adults aged 20-69 years. Methods:A total of 100 healthy subjects were selected and evenly divided into five age groups: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60-69 years, with equal gender distribution in each group. Balance function was assessed using the EquiTest system （NeuroCom）, with following tests performed Sensory Organization Test （SOT）, Motor Control Test （MCT）, Adaptation Test （ADT）, and Limits of Stability （LOS） test. All parameters were statistically analyzed and expressed as ±S. Results:The normal reference ranges for SOT, MCT, ADT, and LOS parameters were established for each age group. Multiple balance function parameters demonstrated a gradual decline with advancing age, with more pronounced deterioration observed after the age of 60. Specific findings included decreased vestibular ratio and reduced visual preference in SOT, as well as prolonged reaction time, impaired directional control, and reduced maximum excursion in the backward direction during LOS testing. Conclusion:This study is the first to establish age-specific reference ranges for dynamic balance function parameters in a healthy Chinese population aged 20-69 years, providing localized and objective criteria for the assessment of balance function and supporting clinical diagnosis of balance-related disorders in China.

Although a single nucleotide polymorphism for N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) has been identified in patients with early-onset stroke, the role of NAT10 in ischemic injury and the related underlying mechanisms remains elusive. Here, we provide evidence that NAT10, the only known RNA N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification "writer", is increased in the damaged cortex of patients with acute ischemic stroke and the peri-infarct cortex of mice subjected to photothrombotic (PT) stroke. Pharmacological inhibition of NAT10 with remodelin on Days 3-7 post-stroke or astrocytic depletion of NAT10 via targeted virus attenuates ischemia-induced infarction and improves functional recovery in PT mice. Mechanistically, NAT10 enhances ac4C acetylation of the inflammatory cytokine tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (Timp1) mRNA transcript, which increases TIMP1 expression and results in the accumulation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and progression of astrocyte autophagy. These findings demonstrate that NAT10 regulates astrocyte autophagy by targeting Timp1 ac4C after stroke. This study highlights the critical role of ac4C in the regulation of astrocyte autophagy and proposes a promising strategy to improve post-stroke outcomes via NAT10 inhibition.

Objective: To understand the prevalence of school bullying and the comorbidity of anxiety and depressive symptoms among middle school students and their association, so as to provide a basis for developing related intervention strategies. Methods: From September to December 2023, a multistage random cluster sampling was employed to select 107 851 middle school students across 104 counties in Anhui Province. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Scale were used to assess depressive and anxiety symptoms. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to examine the correlations between experiences of school bullying and the comorbidity of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Results: The findings revealed that 2.80% of middle school students had experienced school bullying in the past 30 days. Additionally, 27.03% exhibited potential symptoms of depression, 8.94% showed signs of anxiety symptom, and the comorbidity rate of anxiety and depressive symptoms was 8.04%. Logistic regression analysis showed that statistically significant correlations were identified between experiences of school bullying and increased risks of depressive symptoms (OR=6.42, 95%CI=5.93-6.94, P<0.01), anxiety symptoms (OR=5.94, 95%CI=5.47-6.44, P<0.01), and their comorbidity (OR=6.38, 95%CI=5.88-6.93, P<0.01). Compared with those who did not suffer from school bullying, junior high school students, ordinary senior high school students, vocational senior high school students, boys and girls who suffered from school bullying all had increased risks of comorbidity of anxiety and depressive symptoms (OR=7.25, 5.55, 4.80, 6.42, 6.27, P＜0.01). Conclusions The study underscores the significant impact of school bullying on increasing the risk of comorbidity of anxiety and depressive symptoms among middle school students. It is important to pay attention to the psychological health of bullied students and implement timely psychological intervention measures.

Based on the discussions in the The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor （《黄帝内经》）， it is proposed that in the course of the disease， "bind" represents the initial stage of pulmonary nodules， while "accumulation" represents the final form. In terms of the pathogenesis， "two colds interacting" represented by "body cold" and "cold fluid retention" are the prerequisites for the formation of pulmonary nodules， while "disorder of qi" represented by "fainting" is the core of the formation. The specific manifestation is the disturbance of pivot of shaoyang （少阳） or shaoyin （少阴）， resulting in a complex of cold and heat， and then phlegm and stasis are suddenly generated and further formed into nodules. Therefore， the treatment principle should be to regulate the cardinal mechanism， dissolve phlegm and blood stasis. Depending on the complex degree of cold and heat， it is suggested to use Chaihu Guizhi Decoction （柴胡桂枝汤）， Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction （柴胡桂枝干姜汤）， or Chaihu Xianxiong Decoction （柴胡陷胸汤） for disturbance of shaoyang pivot， while for shaoyin pivot dysfunction， modified Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction （麻黄附子细辛汤） or Shengjiang Powder （升降散） can be used.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the number of removed lymph nodes(RLN)and patient prognosis during radical surgery for extensive cervical cancer(CC).Methods:Clinical data of 21416 pa-tients with CC who underwent radical hysterectomy between January 1,2004 to August 31,2018 in the Chinese Cervical Cancer Clinical Study was retrospectively reviewed.Restricted cubic spline(RCS)was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between the number of RLN and prognosis.The patients were divided into three groups according to the RCS and RLN number:1-17 group(8733 cases),18-26 group(8189 cases),and≥ 27 group(4494 cases).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-Rank tests were used to compare the OS rates and DFS rates between groups at 3 and 5 years.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the prognostic mortality risk.Results:① RCS results showed a U-shaped nonlinear dose-response relationship be-tween the number of RLN and prognosis(P＜0.01).When the number of RLN was less than 26,the risk of death decreased as the number of RLN increased,and the risk was lowest when the number of RLN was 26.②There were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)in age,histological type,tumor diameter,nerve invasion,uterine invasion,vaso-lymph node space invasion,cervical invasion,number of lymph node metastasis,whether preopera-tive adjuvant therapy was received,postoperative adjuvant therapy,and whether postoperative adjuvant therapy was standardized among the 3 groups(P＜0.05).③Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 5-year OS of the 1-17 group,18-26 group,and ≥ 27 group were 90.23％,92.28％,and 91.61％,respectively,and the 5-year DFS were 85.32％,87.90％,and 87.18％,respectively.The differences between the three groups were sta-tistically significant(P＜0.01).④The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that RLN number in the range of 1-17 was a significant risk factor for the 3-and 5-year OS and DFS,when compared to the 18-26 RLN group(HR＞1,P＜0.05).Conclusions:RLN number may be one of the prognostic indicators of CC.When the number of RLNs is between 18-26,the prognosis of the patient may be better.The number of RLN in the range of 1-17 may increase the risk of recurrence or death in CC patients.
