ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang（CJLM） on depression-like behaviors and neuroinflammation in rats subjected to social isolation combined with chronic unpredictable mild stress（CUMS）， and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms. MethodsSixty male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group， a model group， and low-， medium-， and high-dose CJLM groups（2.89， 5.78， 11.56 g·kg^-1）， as well as a fluoxetine group（10 mg·kg^-1）. Except for the normal group， all other groups were subjected to social isolation combined with CUMS for 63 d. During the first 35 d， depression models were established only， and from day 36 onward， modeling and drug administration were conducted simultaneously for a total intervention period of 28 d. Depression-like behaviors were evaluated using the sucrose preference test， open-field test， and forced swimming test. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was performed to observe hippocampal histomorphology. Immunohistochemistry（IHC） was used to detect the expression levels of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1（Iba1） and gasdermin D（GSDMD） proteins in the hippocampus. Western blot analysis was employed to determine the protein expression levels of adenosine 5′-monophosphate（AMP）-activated protein kinase（AMPK） and phosphorylated（p）-AMPK， silent information regulator 1（SIRT1）， nuclear factor-κB（NF-κB） and p-NF-κB， NOD-like receptor protein 3（NLRP3）， and Caspase-1 in the hippocampus. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin（IL）-6， and IL-1β in the hippocampus. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed a decreased sucrose preference rate（P<0.01）， reduced total movement distance（P<0.01）， prolonged immobility time（P<0.01）， and decreased central zone residence time（P<0.01） in the open-field test， and increased immobility time in the forced swimming test（P<0.01）. Hippocampal neuronal structure was damaged. The contents of Iba1 and GSDMD in the hippocampus were significantly increased（P<0.01）. The protein expression levels of p-AMPK and SIRT1 in the hippocampus were significantly decreased（P<0.01）， whereas the protein expression levels of p-NF-κB， NLRP3， and Caspase-1 were significantly increased（P<0.01）. The mRNA expression levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in the hippocampus were significantly upregulated（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the low-， medium-， and high-dose CJLM groups and the fluoxetine group all were able to reverse depression-like behavioral changes， as evidenced by increased sucrose preference rate， increased total movement distance with shortened immobility time in the open-field test， prolonged central zone residence time， and reduced immobility time in the forced swimming test（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Meanwhile， hippocampal neuronal structural damage was alleviated. In the hippocampus， the expression levels of Iba1 and GSDMD were downregulated， the expression levels of p-AMPK and SIRT1 were upregulated， and the abnormal elevations of p-NF-κB， NLRP3， Caspase-1， as well as IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α mRNA were suppressed（P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionCJLM can ameliorate depression-like behaviors in rats subjected to social isolation combined with CUMS and attenuate hippocampal neuroinflammation and pyroptosis， suggesting that its effects may be associated with the regulation of AMPK/SIRT1/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To analyze the current status and trends in the clinical management and outcomes of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants <32 weeks′ gestation admitted to the Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN) from 2019 to 2023.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 using the CHNN cohort of very preterm and extremely preterm infants. A total of 30 869 RDS infants with gestational age <32 weeks were admitted within 1 day after birth to CHNN centers from 2019 to 2023. Data on demographics, perinatal management, early complications within 7 days of age, and in-hospital outcomes were collected. Yearly groups were defined by admission year. Trends by year were evaluated by Cochran-Armitage trend test, linear regression model and median regression model.Results:The gestational age at birth of 30 869 RDS infant was 28.9 (27.1, 30.7) weeks and the birth weight was 1 259 (932, 1 586) g. Males account for 56.5% (17 363/30 757). From 2019 to 2023, the prevalence of RDS was 73.8% (5 503/7 461), 74.5% (5 490/7 368), 79.8% (5 884/7 372), 81.6% (6 435/7 889), and 86.0% (7 557/8 789), respectively, showing an increasing trend year by year ( P<0.001). The overall rate of pulmonary surfactant administration was 72.4% (22 359/30 869), fluctuating between 71.2% (5 381/7 557) and 74.3% (4 089/5 503) over the 5-year period. Antenatal corticosteroids were administered to 82.3% (24 357/29 597) mothers of RDS infants and 23.6% (7 218/30 565) RDS infants received noninvasive positive end-expiratory pressure support in the delivery room, both showing a increasing trend over the 5 years (both P<0.001). The incidence of pneumothorax and the use rate of inhaled nitric oxide within 7 days of age were 1.3% (393/30 846) and 1.4% (436/30 869), respectively, both showing increasing trends over the 5 years (both P<0.001). The rate of complete course of antenatal corticosteroids administration was 64.6% (14 458/22 382), the rates of discharge against medical advice and mortality within 7 days of age were 5.3% (1 635/30 869) and 2.7% (724/26 803), respectively, all showing a decreasing trend over time (all P<0.05). Regarding in-hospital outcomes, mortality rate of RDS infants was 4.6% (1 228/26 803), showing a downward trend year by year ( P=0.005). The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was 35.0% (9 417/26 919), and the combined incidence of death or BPD was 36.4% (9 763/26 803), both showing an increasing trend year by year (both P<0.001). Conclusions:RDS prevalence increased annually in preterm infants <32 weeks′ gestation from 2019 to 2023, with declining mortality but rising BPD rates. While antenatal steroid use and noninvasive positive end-expiratory pressure support application improved, full-course antenatal steroid compliance decreased. These findings highlight the need for standardized perinatal management protocols to improve the clinical management of RDS.

Malignant tumors(commonly referred to as cancer)represent a major global public health challenge and contribute significantly to the worldwide disease burden.Early screening plays a critical role in improving detection rates,enabling timely intervention,and enhancing pa-tient survival rates.However,current cancer screening guidelines primarily focus on site-specific screening,which may not fully address the need for comprehensive early detection.A scientifical-ly rational,multi-cancer screening approach offers several advantages:it optimizes the use of bio-logical samples,reduces time costs for participants,enhances the efficiency and comprehensive-ness of screening,and minimizes overall expenses.Such an approach also facilitates the rational allocation of healthcare resources,ultimately helping to reduce the societal burden of cancer.To address this need,the Cancer Epidemiology Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association has developed the Expert Consensus on Combined Screening for Common Cancers in China.This consensus integrates multidisciplinary expertise and synthesizes the latest domestic and interna-tional researches on cancer screening,early detection,and treatment for prevalent malignancies.Drawing upon China's unique demographic and healthcare context,as well as practical screening experiences,the consensus provides evidence-based recommendations on target populations,screening technologies,and procedural workflows for multi-cancer screening.These guidelines align with the principles and methodologies established by the World Health Organization(WHO),aiming to:enhance the effectiveness of combined cancer screening in China,improve early detec-tion rates,and provide a scientific foundation for national cancer prevention and control strategies.
