Objective:
To investigate the relationship between 24 hour activity behaviors and fine motor development in preschool children, and to simulate the effects of reallocating time among different activity behaviors on fine motor development using isotemporal substitution analysis.
Methods:
From March to July 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to recruit 447 preschool children aged 3-6 years (254 boys and 193 girls) from Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province. The 24 hour activity behaviors in preschool children were measured using ActiGraph wGT3-BT accelerometers and subjective sleep reports. Fine motor development was assessed using the Gesell Developmental Schedules. A component linear regression model was employed to analyze the impact of 24 hour activity behaviors on the development of fine motor activities, and the potential effects of adjusting activity behaviors were simulated through an isochoric substitution model.
Results:
The daily durations of sedentary behavior (SB) was ( 572.92 ±102.96) min (accounting for 39.79% of 24 h), the duration of light physical activity (LPA) was (131.21± 38.11 ) min ( 9.11% ), the duration of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was (65.61±22.21) min (4.56%), and sleep duration was (670.65±57.58) min (46.82%). Sleep composition was positively associated with fine motor development ( β =2.74), while MVPA ( β =-0.84) and SB ( β =-1.93) compositions were negatively associated with fine motor development (all P <0.01). Isochoric substitution analysis showed that sleep had positive effects on the development of fine motor skills when replacing other activity behaviors (all P < 0.05), with the substitution effect for MVPA being the most significant and gradually increasing with the duration of substitution (60 min: β =28.66); sleep replacement of SB and LPA also showed positive effects (60 min: β =4.25, 2.00) (all P < 0.05). On the contrary, the substitution of sleep with MVPA showed negative effects (60 min: β =-7.86), and the substitution of LPA and SB with MVPA also showed negative effects (60 min: β =-5.65, -3.40) (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
The overall composition of 24 hour activity behaviors is associated with fine motor development in preschool children, with sleep playing a crucial role. Ensuring adequate sleep and optimizing the structure of activity behaviors may effectively promote the development of fine motor skills in preschool children.

Immune-stimulating antibody drug conjugate (ISAC) can not only effectively solve the defects of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists by coupling antibodies with STING agonists through the targeting of antibodies, but also play a synergistic role with antibodies to further improve the efficacy of STING agonists. This review first provides a concise overview of the current research landscape of ISACs and STING agonists, systematically elaborates on evolving trends in STING agonist development, and subsequently summarizes the mechanistic advances in STING ISAC research. Special emphasis is placed on representative STING ISAC candidates in preclinical/clinical development. Finally, the future directions of STING ISACs are critically discussed with perspectives and recommendations, aiming to provide theoretical insights and practical guidance for future investigations.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Huangqin decoction in improving ulcerative colitis (UC) through the gut microbiota-tryptophan metabolism-aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) axis. METHODS Mice were randomly divided into normal group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), microbiota depletion-model group (normal saline), microbiota depletion-Huangqin decoction group (9.1 g/kg, by crude drug, similarly hereinafter), Huangqin decoction group and mesalazine group (positive control group, 0.4 g/kg), with 6 mice in each group. Microbiota depletion was achieved by providing free access to a mixed antibiotics for 10 days. The UC model was induced by administering 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium solution for 7 days. After successful modeling, each treatment group received corresponding drugs or normal saline intragastrically once daily for 10 days. After the final administration, body weight change ratio, disease activity index (DAI) score, and colon length were evaluated; colon pathological changes were observed; serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, IL-22, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured; the expressions of Occludin, zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1), and AhR in colon tissue were detected; fecal samples were subjected to high-throughput sequencing to analyze targeted tryptophan metabolomics. RESULTS Compared with the model group, Huangqin decoction group showed reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colon tissue and restoration of the intestinal mucosal structure. Body weight change ratio, colon length, serum content of IL-10, the expressions of Occludin, ZO-1 and AhR in colon tissue and the contents of tryptophan metabolites indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), N -acetylserotonin (NAS) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were all significantly increased ( P <0.05); DAI score, serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-22 and the content of tryptophan metabolite indole-3-ethanol were significantly decreased ( P <0.05); gut microbiota structure was improved, with increased relative abundances of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus , and decreased relative abundances of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia-Shigella . However, after antibiotic-induced microbiota depletion, although Huangqin decoction significantly increased the content of NAS in the feces of mice, the expression of AhR protein in colon tissue did not increase concurrently. CONCLUSIONS Huangqin decoction can repair the intestinal mucosal barrier in UC mice by regulating the gut microbiota and promoting the production of IPA and IAA, thereby activating AhR. This suggests that an intact gut microbiota is an important prerequisite for Huangqin decoction to exert its AhR-regulating effects.

Oligoasthenospermia (OAS) is the common cause of male infertility,bringing fertility problems to many families. Its pathogenesis is complex,involving endocrine disorders,reproductive system infection,oxidative stress injury,immune dysfunction and other aspects. At present,the Western medicine treatment of OAS is mainly based on drugs,surgery,and assisted reproductive technology. However,drug therapy has certain side effects,and long-term use is easy to produce drug resistance. Surgical treatment has certain trauma and risk. Assisted reproductive technology is not widely available because of its high cost. Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop safer,economical,and effective treatment options. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has obvious advantages in the treatment of OAS. It can play a role in the treatment of OAS by reducing oxidative stress,inhibiting inflammatory response,reducing apoptosis,and regulating cell autophagy through multiple pathways and targets. Recent studies have shown that TCM compound prescriptions,single medicinal materials,medicinal pairs,and their active components can ameliorate OAS by regulating several key signaling pathways such as the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway,Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(JAK2/STAT3) pathway,nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1) pathway,stem cell factor/tyrosine kinase receptor (SCF/c-kit) pathway,nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway,transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smads pathway,and extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathway. This article summarizes the role of the above signaling pathways in the occurrence and development of OAS and the therapeutic mechanism of TCM,aiming to provide a scientific basis for the clinical treatment of OAS and the research and development of drugs.

Objective To explore the method for establishing a pig left lung orthotopic transplantation model. Methods A total of 4 male Yorkshire pigs weighing (40.0±2.5) kg underwent surgical procedures, including anesthesia, tracheal intubation, donor lung procurement, and recipient lung transplantation. Histological morphology and blood gas analysis of the transplanted lungs were assessed 2 hours after reperfusion to evaluate the histological changes and function of the transplanted lungs. Results The pigs underwent left lung in situ transplantation, effectively simulating conditions relevant to human lung transplantation. Two hours after the transplantation, arterial blood gas analysis showed that arterial partial pressure of oxygen was 155.4-178.6 mm Hg, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide was 53.1-62.4 mm Hg, and the oxygenation index was 310.8-357.2 mm Hg. Hematoxylin and eosin staining indicated a low degree of pulmonary edema and minimal cellular infiltration. Conclusion The pig left lung orthotopic transplantation model possesses strong operability and stability. Researchers can replicate this model according to the described methods and further conduct basic research and explore clinical translational applications.

Persistent left superior vena cava is a rare venous variant that is often combined with cardiovascular malformations. In thoracic surgery, especially mediastinal tumor resection, neglect of this variant may make the surgery difficult and risky, and careful preoperative imaging interpretation and adequate preoperative evaluation play an important role in the perioperative safety of the patient. In this paper, we reported a case of a 17-year-old female patient with a persistent left superior vena cava combined with mediastinal tumors. She was successfully discharged 5 days after thoracoscopic surgery, and after 3 years of postoperative follow-up, no tumor recurrence was observed.

Tooth autotransplantation is a restoration technology that grafts the patient's own teeth to the missing tooth area, usually by using the third molar to replace a nonnormally functioning molar for the purpose of "turning waste into treasure". Robotic surgical assistance has been widely used in the fields of breast cancer, liver cancer, and orthopedics; however, its application in the dental field, particularly in tooth autotransplantation, remains relatively rare. This paper reports a case of tooth autotransplantation with the assistance of a domestic autonomous oral surgery robot, providing a reference for the application of robotic surgery assistance in tooth autotransplantation.
