To report diagnosis and treatment of a patient with rectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases, accompanied by severe coronary artery stenosis and cardiac insufficiency, and to provide a reference for clinical decision-making in such cases through introducing the treatment contradiction, the choice of systemic treatment plan and the timing of operation, and the final outcome. After definitive diagnosis, the patient received systemic therapy with cetuximab＋irinotecan＋oxaliplatin＋raltitrexed, and along with oral medication to improve cardiac function, followed by elective coronary revascularization. After revascularization, the cardiac function of patient was fully improved. And the tumor lesion was effectively controlled after antitumor therapy. Once the cardiac condition of patient stabilized, two-stage surgical resection of the primary rectal cancer and liver metastases was performed, ultimately achieving tumor-free status, and discharged.

Objective: To explore the association between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide theoretical basis for the prevention of anxiety and depressive symptoms co-occurrence among adolescents. Methods: A random cluster sampling involving 8 500 first year junior high school students in 11 counties in Yunnan Province was conducted by a questionnaire survey from October to December 2022. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was applied to assess anxiety and depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students. Chi-square test was used to compare the anxiety-depression co-occurrence symptoms of first year junior high school students with different demographic characteristics. The association between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms of adolescents was analyzed by binary Logistic regression models. Results: The detection rate of co-occurrence of anxiety and depression symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province was 26.92%. After controlling for demographic variables and other confounders, takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption( OR=1.50, 95%CI =1.27-1.77) was associated with anxiety-depression co-occurrence symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province ( P <0.01). Stratified analysis showed that both Han ( OR=1.37, 95%CI =1.07-1.77) and ethnic minorities ( OR=1.60, 95%CI =1.29-2.00) exhibited statistically significant associations between takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms(both P <0.05). Conclusions Takeout fast foods and sugar sweetened beverage consumption increases the risk of co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province. It is recommended to strengthen guidance on the consumption of such products among junior high school students to prevent co-occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms.

The prototype willingness model (PWM), a dual process model consisting of a rational pathway and a social reactive pathway, offers a more comprehensive and appropriate theoretical framework for understanding adolescent risk behaviors. To elucidate the formation mechanisms of three key adolescent risk behaviors (alcohol drinking, smoking, and social media risk disclosure behaviors), the paper systematically reviews the application process of the PWM in these three major adolescent risk behaviors and compares the similarities and differences in its core variables and underlying mechanisms across different behavior types. The paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the causes of typical adolescent risk behaviors and offers theoretical and empirical support for the development of targeted intervention strategies.

OBJECTIVE To prepare an intelligent responsive liposome-hydrogel nanopreparation co-loaded with gambogic acid （GA）， and characterize its antitumor activity in vitro . METHODS GA-ICG-Lip-gel was prepared by ethanol injection and cold dissolution， incorporating GA and the photosensitizer indocyanine green （ICG）. The appearance and microscopic morphology of GA-ICG-Lip-gel were observed， its encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacity were measured， and its photothermal conversion performance， photothermal stability， and infrared imaging properties were investigated， along with the determination of its in vitro release profile. Human breast cancer MCF-7 cells were used as objects to investigate the effects of GA-ICG-Lip-gel （or with near-infrared light irradiation） on cell viability， migration ability， and the cellular uptake capacity of GA-ICG-Lip-gel. RESULTS GA-ICG-Lip-gel existed in a solution state at room temperature and transformed into a gel state at 37 ℃. Its microstructure was dense with small pores， and its encapsulation efficiency and drug loading were （96.07±0.86） % and （6.28±1.16） %， respectively. After exposure to near-infrared light， the temperature of GA-ICG-Lip-gel rose above 42 ℃， with no significant attenuation observed in the heating curve. The heating efficiency was dependent on both the irradiation time and drug concentration. Compared to media without gelatinase， the cumulative release rate of GA-ICG-Lip-gel increased in media containing gelatinase. In vitro studies showed that GA-ICG-Lip-gel could be efficiently taken up by MCF-7 cells； GA-ICG-Lip-gel significantly inhibited the viability and migration ability of MCF-7 cells （ P ＜0.05）， and this inhibitory effect was further enhanced under near-infrared light irradiation. CONCLUSIONS This study successfully prepares GA-ICG-Lip-gel， which exhibits favorable photothermal conversion properties and temperature/enzyme dual-responsive drug release characteristics， and demonstrates significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells.

Objective: To explore the impact of donor reentry experience, specifically among those with a single reactive serological result who completed the reentry process, on their willingness to return for future blood donation, and to examine the mediating roles of blood donation knowledge and trait anxiety. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between November and December 2025. A total of 386 blood donors from the Changsha Blood Center were categorized into a reentry group (n=123) and a control group (n=263). Data on demographic characteristics, blood donation knowledge (BDKQ), trait anxiety (STAI-T), and blood donation return intention (BDRIS) were collected via questionnaires. SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 28.0 were used for statistical analyses, including independent-samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, multiple linear regression, and path analysis for mediating effect testing. Results: There were statistically significant differences in age, occupation, education level, monthly income and donation frequency between the reentry group and the control group (all P<0.05). The reentry group scored significantly higher in blood donation knowledge and blood donation return intention than the control group (both P<0.05). The mean BDRIS score was 11.51±3.62, indicating a relatively high intention to return. Blood donation knowledge was significantly negatively correlated with trait anxiety (r=-0.15, P<0.05) and positively correlated with blood donation return intention (r=0.19, P<0.05); trait anxiety was significantly negatively correlated with blood donation return intention (r=-0.33, P<0.05). Significant differences in BDRIS scores were found based on group (reentry vs control), age, and number of previous donations (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that BDKQ positively predicted BDRIS (β=0.11, P<0.05), while STAI-T negatively predicted BDRIS (β=-0.27, P<0.05). Path analysis further revealed that the reentry experience had no direct effect on the intention to return. However, it exerted a positive influence through two indirect pathways: 1) a simple mediating effect via increased blood donation knowledge (β=0.17, accounting for 25.0% of the total effect), and 2) a chain mediating effect through "increased blood donation knowledge → decreased trait anxiety" (β=0.05, accounting for 8.1% of the total effect). The model fit indices reached the ideal fitting criteria. Conclusion: The donor reentry experience does not directly enhance the intention to return for blood donation. Rather, it may exert an indirect positive influence by increasing blood donation knowledge and through the sequential pathway of "increased knowledge → decreased trait anxiety". Blood collection institutions should leverage the reentry process as an opportunity for education and psychological support to improve donor retention rate.

Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

Background Acute hypoxia exposure can impair synaptic transmission in hippocampal neurons and disrupt neural network function. However, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced synaptic vesicle dysfunction remain not fully elucidated. Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying acute hypoxia-induced synaptic vesicle dysfunction in human hippocampal neuronal cells (HPPNCs) with a particular focus on the regulatory role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FTX in the miR-137-3p/soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex axis. Methods An acute hypoxia injury model was established in HPPNCs. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to determine the optimal seeding density and hypoxic exposure duration. Proteomic analysis was utilized to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between normoxic and hypoxic conditions, followed by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses to identify affected biological pathways. Bioinformatics prediction (e.g, RPISeq prediction of RNA-protein interactions) was integrated with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting to evaluate changes in DEPs and the lncRNA FTX/miR-137-3p axis. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) silencing and interaction potential prediction were further employed to confirm the regulatory role of lncRNA FTX. Results CCK-8 assay determined that the optimal seeding density for HPPNCs was 3.5×10³ cells·well⁻¹ and that 48 h of acute hypoxia exposure significantly reduced cell viability. Proteomic analysis revealed that DEPs were primarily enriched in the synaptic vesicle cycle pathway. Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP25), a core component of the SNARE complex, was significantly downregulated at both mRNA and protein levels (P < 0.01). Mechanistic studies found that lncRNA FTX expression was significantly decreased in hypoxic cells, whereas miR-137-3p expression was significantly elevated. Furthermore, siRNA silencing of lncRNA FTX significantly reduced SNAP25 expression. RPISeq prediction suggested a potential interaction between lncRNA FTX and the SNAP25 protein (random forest, RF=0.75; support vector machine, SVM=0.56). Conclusion Acute hypoxia exposure may impair synaptic vesicle function in hippocampal neuronal cells by downregulating lncRNA FTX, increasing miR-137-3p expression, and suppressing SNAP25 expression, thereby disrupting the SNARE complex. These findings suggest that the lncRNA FTX/miR-137-3p/SNAP25 axis may play an important role in acute hypoxia-induced synaptic dysfunction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of icariin （ICA） on the phenotype of dendritic cells （DCs） in heart tissue of the Dahl salt-sensitive myocardial remodeling model of rats and its regulation on the vitamin D system. MethodsMale Dahl salt-resistant rats were divided into a normal group， and male Dahl salt-sensitive rats were divided into a model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose ICA groups （30， 60， 120 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and Vitamin D group （3×10^-5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）. In addition to the normal group， the other groups were given an 8% high salt diet to establish a myocardial remodeling model and received intragastric administration after successful modelling once a day for six weeks. The dynamic changes in tail artery blood pressure were monitored， and detection of cardiac ultrasound function in rats was performed. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Masson staining were used to observe the morphological changes in rat heart tissue. The phenotype of DCs and T helper cell 17 （Th17）/regulatory T cell （Treg） ratio were detected by flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression of vitamin D receptor （VDR）， 1α-hydroxylase （CYP27B1）， 24-hydroxylase （CYP24A1）， forkhead frame protein 3 （FoxP3）， solitaire receptor γt （RORγt）， myocardial type Ⅰ collagen （ColⅠ）， and type collagen （ColⅢ） in heart tissue was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed disordered arrangement and rupture of myocardial cells， nuclear condensation， significant edema of myocardial tissue， significant proliferation of collagen fibers in a network distribution， and a significant increase in tail artery blood pressure， left ventricular end diastolic diameter （LVEDD）， and left ventricular end systolic diameter （LVESD） （P<0.05）. The phenotype of cardiac DCs was CD40， CD80， and CD86， and the levels of major histocompatibility complex Ⅱ （MHC-Ⅱ）， Th17 cells， and Th17/Treg were significantly increased （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein expression of CYP24A1 and RORγt in the heart， as well as the mRNA expression of ColⅠ and ColⅢ， were significantly increased （P<0.05）. The left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， interventricular septal thickness （IVSD）， and left ventricular posterior wall thickness （LVPWD） were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The phenotype of cardiac DCs such as CD11， CD11b， and Treg cells， were significantly reduced （P<0.05）， while the mRNA and protein expression of cardiac VDR， CYP27B1， and FoxP3 were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the low-， medium-， and high-dose ICA groups and vitamin D group significantly reduced myocardial cell rupture and nuclear consolidation in rats. The high-dose ICA group and vitamin D group showed a small amount of myocardial cell rupture and nuclear consolidation， improving myocardial fiber arrangement to varying degrees and significantly reducing myocardial fiber rupture and proliferation. The tail artery blood pressure， LVEDD， and LVESD were significantly decreased in the low-， medium-， and high-dose ICA groups and vitamin D group （P<0.05）， and the phenotype of cardiac DCs including CD40， CD80， CD86， MHC-Ⅱ， Th17 cells， and Th17/Treg were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein expression of CYP24A1 and RORγt， and the mRNA expression of ColⅠ and ColⅢ in the heart were significantly decreased in the medium- and high-dose ICA groups and vitamin D group （P<0.05）. The LVEF， IVSD， and LVPWD of myocardial remodeling model rats in the low-， medium-， and high-dose ICA groups and vitamin D group were significantly increased （P<0.05）. The phenotypes of cardiac DCs including CD11， CD11b， and Treg cells were significantly increased in the medium- and high-dose ICA groups and the Vitamin D group （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein expressions of VDR， CYP27B1， and FoxP3 in the heart were significantly increased in the medium- and high-dose ICA groups and vitamin D group （P<0.05）. ConclusionICA can regulate tail artery blood pressure， cardiac structural and functional damage， and myocardial tissue fibrosis and inhibit phenotype and functional maturation of DCs in heart tissue in the myocardial remodeling model of Dahl salt-sensitive rats. It can also affect the gene and protein expression of VDR， CYP24A1， and CYP27B1， achieving its intervention in Th17/Treg balance in the immune process of myocardial remodeling possibly by regulating vitamin D/VDR in heart tissue.

The auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA) gene family is an important regulator for plant growth hormone signaling, involved in plant growth, development, as well as response to environmental stresses. In the present study, we identified SmIAA7 which is potentially associated with Salvia miltiorrhiza leaf development through comparatively analyzed the transcriptome data from different pinnate leaves. SmIAA7 was successfully isolated from S. miltiorrhiza using the specific primers. Then subsequent bioinformatic analysis, prokaryotic expression and purification, subcellular localization, and induction expression analysis under auxin and abiotic stress were performed. The full-length of SmIAA7 contained an ORF of 684 bp encoding a protein of 227 amino acid with a molecular weight of 25.3 kD. Conserved domain analysis showed that SmIAA7 contains the conserved Aux_IAA domain (pfam02309). Sequence analysis and phylogenetic tree analysis results indicated SmIAA7 was phylogenetically close to IAA7 and IAA14 from other plants, suggesting SmIAA7 involved in plant growth and development as well as response to environmental stresses. The prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-SmIAA7 was constructed and SmIAA7 recombinant protein was successfully expressed in E. coli Rosetta (DE3) strain. Subcellular localization experiment demonstrated that SmIAA7 localized in the nucleus of plant cells. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR results showed that the expression level of SmIAA7 was upregulated in response to auxin. Drought, low temperature, and salt stress significantly increased the transcript level of SmIAA7 gene. This study lays a foundation for further elucidating the role of SmIAA7 in leaf development, signal transduction, and stress defense in S. miltiorrhiza.
