In recent years， as the incidence of ulcerative colitis （UC） is growing， intestinal mucosal injury has garnered increasing attention， and it is characterized by high recurrence， risk of inflammation-cancer transformation， and difficulty in repair. Intestinal mucosal injury in UC is centered on persistent inflammation and barrier dysfunction， with its pathological mechanisms involving endoplasmic reticulum stress （ERS）-mediated changes such as abnormal apoptosis， abnormal autophagy， and inflammatory responses. ERS induces apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells， disrupts tight junction proteins， and exacerbates inflammatory responses through pathways such as protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase （PERK）， inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha （IRE1α）， and activating transcription factor 6 （ATF6）， ultimately causing intestinal mucosal injury. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has a long history of research on UC. The theory of sores depending on spleen-earth holds that spleen deficiency is the fundamental cause of UC， while pathological products such as dampness-turbidity and blood stasis are the secondary manifestations. Dysfunction of the spleen-earth leads to insufficient production and transformation of Qi and blood， malnutrition of the intestinal mucosa， and invasion of external pathogens. In the active phase of UC， spleen deficiency is often accompanied by excessive pathogenic factors such as dampness-heat and heat-toxin， leading to acute intestinal mucosal damage. In the remission phase， however， it is mainly characterized by spleen deficiency and healthy Qi deficiency， accompanied by residual pathogens， resulting in weak intestinal mucosal repair. Studies have shown that the endoplasmic reticulum， as a key site for protein synthesis and folding， has functions highly similar to the TCM concept of the spleen governing transportation and transformation. From a TCM perspective， the endoplasmic reticulum can be regarded as the carrier of spleen transportation， and ERS is a microcosmic manifestation of spleen dysfunction， leading to intestinal mucosal injury. ERS impairs the structure and function of the endoplasmic reticulum， induces the generation of abnormal Qi， and triggers pathological changes， making inflammation difficult to be reduced and causing the aggravation of ERS， forming a vicious cycle of spleen deficiency-pathological products-intestinal injury. TCM has unique advantages in regulating ERS to prevent and treat intestinal mucosal injury. According to the theory of sores depending on spleen-earth and the modern medical understanding of ERS， this paper delves into the TCM and Western medicine pathogenesis of intestinal mucosal injury in UC. Furthermore， this paper discusses the roles of TCM active components and compound formulas in reducing intestinal mucosal injury in UC by regulating ERS under the guidance of the treatment principles of invigorating the spleen and replenishing Qi as the key and dispelling dampness and removing blood stasis as the supplementation， aiming to provide new ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of UC.

Objective: To analyze the iodine nutritional status of children aged 8-10 in Baoshan City, so as to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of eliminating and consolidating iodine deficiency disorders in Baoshan City. Methods: From 2018 to 2024, a stratified random sampling method was used to sample 7 363 non boarding children aged 8-10 from 35 survey sites in 5 counties of Baoshan City (Longyang County, Shidian County, Changning County, Tengchong City, Longling County). The salt iodine content and urinary iodine concentration were detected, and the thyroid volume of children was measured by ultrasound. Group comparison was conducted by using Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Chi square test. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of salt iodine, urinary iodine and thyroid volume. Results: A total of 7 361 samples of household edible salt for children were detected. The iodized salt coverage rate was 99.70%, the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 97.02 %. The proportion of unqualified iodized salt fluctuated and decreased from 3.14% in 2018 to 2.14% in 2024. The median iodine content of household edible salt for children was 23.70 (21.60, 25.80) mg/kg. The median urinary iodine of children was 217.41 (152.40, 294.59) μg/L, and the proportions of iodine deficiency, adequate iodine, and iodine excess were 9.75 %, 66.66%, and 23.58%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the median urinary iodine of children among different years, ages, genders and before and after the supply of non iodized salt ( Z/H =134.88, 11.04,-4.28,-2.66, all P < 0.01). An average thyroid volume of children was 3.32 (2.77, 3.93) mL, with a goiter rate of 1.91%. Before and after the implementation of non iodized salt supply in Baoshan City in 2023, there were no statistically significant differences in the median iodine content of household edible salt and the goiter rate of children ( Z/χ 2=-1.54, 3.25, both P >0.05), but there were statistically significant differences in the qualified status of iodized salt, the median urinary iodine, and the frequency distribution of urinary iodine ( χ 2/Z =15.53,-2.66, 10.14, all P <0.05). Salt iodine was positively correlated with urinary iodine ( r =0.04) and negatively correlated with thyroid volume ( r =-0.07), and urinary iodine was negatively correlated with thyroid volume ( r =-0.03) (all P < 0.05 ). The thyroid volume of children consuming iodized salt was larger than that of children consuming non iodized salt ( H = 9.99 ), and there were statistically significant differences in thyroid volume among children with different urinary iodine levels ( H =15.13) (both P <0.01). Conclusions From 2018 to 2024, the overall iodine nutritional level of children aged 8-10 in Baoshan City is at an adequate level. The elimination status of iodine deficiency disorders has been continuously consolidated.

Objective:To explore the effects of internet-based group cognitive-behavioral therapy(IGCBT)on the depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder(MDD).Methods:Eighty pa-tients with MDD were recruited and randomly divided into IGCBT combined drug therapy group and control group with drug therapy.Blind assessments were performed using the Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)and Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)three times at baseline,4 weeks after treatment and 8 weeks after treatment,respectively.Results:The effective rates of HAMD and HAMA at the end of the 4th and 8th week,and the effective rates of HAMA at the end of the 8th week were higher in the combined treatment group than those in the control group(Ps＜0.05).The total scores of HAMD and HAMA in the combined treatment group and the control group were lower at the end of the 4th and 8th week than those at baseline(Ps＜0.001).The total scores of HAMD and HAMA were lower in the combined treatment group than those in the control group at the baseline,4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment(Ps＜0.01).Conclusion:It suggests that intemet-based group cognitive-behavioral therapy combined with antidepressant medication has a better effect on relieving depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with ma-jor depressive disorder than drug therapy alone,and especially has a better effect on improving anxiety symptom.

Objective:To discuss the association between occupational acid fog exposure and accelerated biological aging of the workers,and to clarify its related risk factors.Methods:A total of 341 male workers exposed to occupational acid fog and 201 male workers without occupational exposure were selected as the study subjects,and they were divided into exposure group and control group,respectively.The general informations of the subjects in two groups were collected through questionnaires and physical examinations.The levels of red blood cell count(RBC),platelet count(PLT),albumin(ALB),urea(Urea),creatinine(CR),triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),glycated hemoglobin(HBA1c),and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(Hs-CRP)in serum of the subjects in two groups were detected.The Klemera-Doubal method(KDM)was used to construct the composite aging measure,KDM-biological age(BA)(KDM-BA).The model parameters were trained using samples from the 2009 China Health and Nutrition Survey(CHNS)Database to calculate the BA acceleration of the subjects in two groups;stratified analysis based on the population characteristics was conducted to analyze the BA of the subjects in two groups with different population characteristics;generalized linear model was used to analyze the factors influencing BA acceleration due to acid fog exposure.Results:The model parameters were trained using samples from the 2009 CHNS Database,including 8 133 cases aged 20-79 years,of which 3 788 were male.The levels of Urea,CR,HBA1c,ALB,and TC,as well as systolic blood pressure(SBP),total working years,sleep duration,and body mass index(BMI)of the subjects between two groups had significant differences(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the BA acceleration of the subjects in exposure group was significantly increased(P<0.05).In entire population and exposure group,the BA acceleration in the smokers was significantly higher than that in the non-smokers(P<0.05).In entire population,control group,and exposure group,the BA accelerations of the subjects in different BMI groups were significantly decreased with the increase of BMI(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the BA acceleration of the subjects in exposure group was significantly increased(P<0.05),including those under 40 years old,with total working years of 4-7 years,Han nationality,unmarried,smokers,and sleep duration 6-7 h,and with overweight.Acid fog exposure,smoking,and BMI were associated with the BA acceleration(β=0.72,95%CI:0.24-1.21;β=0.59,95%CI:0.11-1.06;β=-0.29,95%CI:-0.35—-0.22).Conclusion:Occupational acid fog exposure may accelerate the biological aging in the workers,and acid fog is a risk factor to accelerate the biological aging of the body.

Objective:To assess the impact of preoperative Naples prognostic score on the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatic resection.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 323 patients with HCC who underwent radical hepatectomy in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2012 to December 2017, including 281 males and 42 females, aged (56.6±11.3) years. All patients were divided into three groups according to their preoperative Naples prognostic scores: group A (0) ( n=37), group B (1-2) ( n=193), group C (3-4) ( n=93). Survival was analysed by the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences in survival were compared by the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to analyse the effect of Naples prognostic score on prognosis. Results:The 1-, 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rates of HCC patients after hepatectomy were 91.9%, 78.4% and 68.3% in the A group, 89.1%, 76.1% and 64.4% in the B group, and 84.9%, 63.3% and 43.5% in the C group, respectively, and the cumulative survival rates showed a decreasing trend among the three groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The recurrence-free survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years after hepatectomy were 93.4%, 63.3% and 44.3% in the A group, 77.7%, 46.5% and 35.6% in the B group, and 64.1%, 41.1% and 28.2% in the C group, respectively, and the recurrence-free survival rates showed a decreasing trend among the three groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). On Cox multivariate analysis, patients with HCC of 3-4 had a higher risk of death after hepatic resection than those patients of 0 ( HR=2.011, 95% CI: 1.048-3.859, P=0.036), and the risk of postoperative recurrence was also higher than those patients of 0 ( HR=1.820, 95% CI: 1.081-3.066, P=0.024). Conclusion:Preoperative Naples prognostic score performs as a prognostic influence factor on survival and recurrence-free survival after hepatectomy in patients with HCC.

Traditional pig breeding has a long cycle and high cost, and there is an urgent need to use new technologies to revitalize the pig breeding industry. The recently emerged CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technique shows great potential in pig genetic improvement, and has since become a research hotspot. Base editor is a new base editing technology developed based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system, which can achieve targeted mutation of a single base. CRISPR/Cas9 technology is easy to operate and simple to design, but it can lead to DNA double strand breaks, unstable gene structures, and random insertion and deletion of genes, which greatly restricts the application of this technique. Different from CRISPR/Cas9 technique, the single base editing technique does not produce double strand breaks. Therefore, it has higher accuracy and safety for genome editing, and is expected to advance the pig genetic breeding applications. This review summarized the working principle and shortcomings of CRISPR/Cas9 technique, the development and advantages of single base editing, the principles and application characteristics of different base editors and their applications in pig genetic improvement, with the aim to facilitate genome editing-assisted genetic breeding of pig.

Lignans derived from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver (Eucommia lignans) inhibit the progression of inflammatory diseases, while their effect on the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN) remained unclear. This work was designed to assess the function of Eucommia lignans in DN. The major constituents of Eucommia lignans were analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The binding between Eucommia lignans and aldose reductase (AR) was predicted by molecular docking. Eucommia lignans (200, 100, and 50 mg·kg^-1) were used in model animals to evaluate their renal function changes. Rat glomerular mesangial cells (HBZY-1) were transfected with sh-AR, sh-AMPK, and oe-AR in the presence of high glucose (HG) or HG combined with Eucommia lignans to evaluate whether Eucommia lignans affected HG-induced cell injury and mitochondrial dysfunction through the AR/Nrf2/HO-1/AMPK axis. Eucommia lignans significantly attenuated the progression of DN in vivo. Eucommia lignans notably reversed HG-induced upregulation of inflammatory cytokines and mitochondrial injury, while downregulating the levels of Cyto c, caspase 9, AR, and NOX4 in HBZY-1 cells. In contrast, HG-induced downregulation of Nrf2, HO-1 and p-AMPKα levels were abolished by Eucommia lignans. Meanwhile, knockdown of AR exerted similar therapeutic effect of Eucommia lignans on DN progression, and AR overexpression reversed the effect of Eucommia lignans. Eucommia lignans alleviated renal injury through the AR/Nrf2/HO-1/AMPK axis. Thus, these findings might provide evidence for the use of Eucommia lignans in treating DN.
