OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of everolimus combined with letrozole and conventional chemotherapy for metastatic or recurrent endometrial carcinoma （EC）. METHODS The clinical and follow-up data of 156 patients with metastatic or recurrent EC admitted to Nanyang Central Hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into a control group （77 cases） and an observation group （79 cases） according to different therapeutic regimens. The control group received paclitaxel+carboplatin/cisplatin regimen， and concurrently took Letrozole tablets at a dose of 2.5 mg orally once daily； the observation group took Everolimus tablets 10 mg orally， once a day， in addition to the treatment regimen given to the control group. Each treatment cycle lasted 21 days， and both groups of patients underwent continuous treatment for 6 to 8 cycles. The short-term efficacy indicators （objective response rate and disease control rate）， the levels of serum tumor markers [carbohydrate antigen 125， human epididymis protein 4， vascular endothelial growth factor and matrix metalloproteinase-9] and medium- to long-term efficacy indicators [progression-free survival （PFS） and overall survival （OS）] were compared between the two groups. Additionally， the occurrence of toxic and side effects in both groups of patients was recorded. RESULTS The objective response rate （53.16%）， disease control rate （89.87%）， median PFS （6.47 months） and median OS （10.79 months） of the observation group were significantly higher or longer than those （22.08%， 68.83%， 4.63 months， 8.84 months） of the control group （P＜0.05）. Compared with before treatment， the levels of serum tumor markers in both groups decreased significantly after 6 cycles of treatment； the above indexes of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group （P＜0.05）. The proportion of patients with stomatitis in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group （P＜0.05）， and there was no statistically significant difference in the proportions of patients experiencing other toxic and side effects， such as leukopenia， between the two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The everolimus combined with letrozole and conventional chemotherapy can effectively improve the short-term efficacy and prolong the survival period in patients with metastatic or recurrent EC， but attention should be paid to the occurrence of toxic and side effects， especially stomatitis.

Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.

Objective:To explore the application effect of BOPPPS teaching model in the teaching of Food Safety Supervision and Management course.Methods:Students of two parallel classes majoring in the Food Quality and Safety of the same grade of a university in Liaoning Province were selected,and the traditional teaching model and BOPPPS teaching model were used for teaching practice respectively.The scores,teaching effect and satisfaction of two groups were compared.Results:The regular performance and total scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).In terms of enhancing students'interest in food safety supervision,improving knowledge and skills,cultivating self-directed learning and teamwork abilities,strengthening the close connection between the course and real cases,and providing assistance for future career,the experimental group performed significantly better than the control group(P＜0.05).Moreover,the satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:BOPPPS teaching model has a remarkable effect in the teaching of Food Safety Supervision and Management course,providing an effective approach for the teaching reform of this course.

Objective Network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to predict the potential mechanisms by which the active components of Piper nigrum(PN)regulate depressive-like behaviors in chronic restraint stress(CRS)mice.Methods The major chemical components and targets of PN were screened using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database.Targets related to ferroptosis and depression were obtained from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man,GeneCards,and FerrDB databases.The intersecting targets were then subjected to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Gnomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses,and molecular docking was performed to validate the binding capacities between the core targets and their corresponding active components.Finally,we established a CRS mouse model.Mice were treated with PN 75,150,and 300 mg/kg for 4 weeks,followed by behavioral assessments and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)to verify the expression of core genes.Results Nine active components were screened from PN,corresponding to 27 targets,and 8377 targets related to depression and 547 targets associated with ferroptosis were screened from the databases.The intersection of these three sets resulted in 25 target genes.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that these core targets were predominantly enriched in signaling pathways,including cholinergic synapses,serotonergic synapses,and neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions.Molecular docking result showed that the main active components of PN had strong binding affinities for the targets CHRM2,SLC6A4,PTGS2,and SLC6A2.Behavioral assessments demonstrated that PN significantly increased the sucrose preference index(P＜0.01,P＜0.001),reduced immobility time in the tail suspension and forced swimming tests(P＜0.01,P＜0.001),and enhanced exploratory behavior in the open field test(P＜0.05.P＜0.01,P＜0.001).PN significantly reduced the serum levels of inflammation markers(P＜0.05.P＜0.01,P＜0.001),as shown by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and neurotransmitter analysis revealed that PN significantly increased the levels of serotonin and acetylcholine in the mouse hippocampus(P＜0.05).RT-qPCR showed that PN demonstrated the mRNA expression of SLC6A4(P＜0.05.P＜0.01,P＜0.001).Conclusions PN may improve depressive-like behavior in mice by modulating serotonin and acetylcholine levels,inhibiting inflammatory responses,participating in immune regulation,and exerting neuroprotective effects.

Objective:To discuss the distinctive sonographic feature and the biological behavior of renal angiomyolipoma(RAML),and to provide the reference for the clinicians to make the accurate diagnosis of RAML.Methods:The clinical data of one patient with invasive classical RAML combined with pseudaneurysm formation were collected.The sonographic appearances were analyzed in conjunction with the pathological characteristics to clarify the biological behavior of RAML,and the relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:The patient,a 60-year-old female,visited the local hospital due to discomfort in the lumbar area,and received CT examination,and the CT examination results revealed a left renal mass,so the patient came to our hospital.The specialist clinical examinations and laboratory investigations were unremarkable.The ultrasound results indicated an enlarged left kidney with a cystic and solid mass at the upper pole,which featured pseudaneurysm formation(originating from the interlobar arteries);the enhanced CT image results suggested a high probability of upper pole renal carcinoma combined with aneurysmal formation within the tumor,alongside invasion into the left adrenal gland.The patient underwent laparoscopic radical left nephrectomy,and the postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of invasive classical RAML.Conclusion:The classical RAML can exhibit the invasive biological behavior.The pseudaneurysm formation is a special sonographic manifestation of RAML,which can be challenging to differentiate from the other renal tumors.

Objective To explore the effect of multi-sensory artificial intelligence feedback gait training on the recovery of walking function in stroke patients based on enriched environment theory. Methods From July,2021 to June,2023,a total of 80 stroke patients in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were randomly divided into control group(n=40)and experimental group(n=40).Both groups received rou-tine rehabilitation in the lying and seated positions,for 40 minutes.The control group received ground walking training,for 20 minutes,while the experimental group received multi-sensory feedback gait training in enriched environment,for 20 minutes.Before and after four weeks intervention,the digital motion monitoring treadmill was used to mearsure step speed,step length,hip and knee swing angle and weight symmetry.They were as-sessed with Berg Balance scale(BBS),Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities(FMA-LE)and Barthel Index(BI). Results After intervention,the hip swing angle,step length of both sides and step speed significantly improved in both groups(|t|＞3.162,P＜0.05),and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|＞2.568,P＜0.05);the average knee joint swing angle and bilateral weight-bearing symmetry significantly im-proved in the experimental group(|t|＞3.249,P＜0.01);the scores of BBS,FMA-LE and BI improved in both groups(|t|＞3.569,P＜0.01),and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|＞2.922,P＜0.05). Conclusion Multi-sensory feedback gait training based on enriched environment theory could effectively improve the walking and balance of stroke patients,and increase the ability of independence.

[Objective]To investigate the association between screen content and the frequency of screen exposure at the age of one and a half years and hyperactive behavior in preschool,and to explore how the association is affected by the interaction between outdoor activities and screen behaviors,which could provide theoretical basis and feasible solutions for the prevention and intervention of behavioral problems in childhoood.[Methods]The survey was conducted from June 2022 to June 2023 in Huicheng District,Huizhou (China) stratified by whole cluster sampling methods. Parents and teachers of 5648 children in 61 kindergartens were sampled for questionnaire surveys. The Conners Teacher Rating Scale (TRS) was used to investigate hyperactive behavior. A self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate basic demographic information of children,screen content,frequency of screen exposure and outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between video screen behavior and hyperactive behavior and its interaction with outdoor activities by controlling for covariates such as children's age,gender,and parental education.[Results]Result showed the overall prevalence of 3.2％ for hyperactive behavior,2.1％ for conduct problems,2.1％ for hyperactivity problems,1.3％ for inattention-passivity problems,and 0.9％ for hyperactivity index. After adjusting for confounding factors,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that screen exposure of "two to four times a week" at one and a half years old was associated with an increased detection rate of hyperactive behaviors in preschool children,with an estimated ORs (95％ CI) of 1.682 (1.141,2.480). Daily screen exposure was associated with increased detection rates of hyperactive behavior,conduct problems,hyperactivity issues,inattention-passivity problems,and hyperactivity index in pre-school age. The estimated ORs (95％ CI) were 2.136 (1.218,3.746),2.321 (1.185,4.546),2.300 (1.208,4.380),2.776 (1.267,6.085) and 3.640 (1.525,8.687),respectively. But the above associations were not found in children who were engaged in daily outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years (P value for interaction<0.001). No association was found between screen content and hyperactive behavior (P>0.05).[Conclusions]Frequency of screen exposure in early childhood is significantly associated with hyperactive behavior problems in preschool,and outdoor activities could weaken the correlation between high-frequency screen exposure and hyperactive behavior,suggesting that parents and schools should prioritize scientifically guiding children's video viewing behavior and outdoor activities,ensuring a well-arranged daily life,to lay a good foundation for the healthy development of children's behavior.

ObjectiveTo observe the possible mechanism of Dihuang Yinzi Decoction （地黄饮子） for improving cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease （AD） from the perspective of retina. MethodsForty-five APP/PS1 mice （AD model mice） were randomly divided into model group， Dihuang Yinzi Decoction group， and memantine group， with 15 mice in each group， while 15 wild-type C57BL/6J mice from the same litter were used as blank group. Mice in Dihuang Yinzi Decoction group were given Dihuang Yinzi Decoction 30.03 g/（kg·d） by gavage， mice in the memantine group were given memantine hydrochloride 6.1 mg/（kg·d） by gavage， and mice in the blank group and the model group were given normal saline 2 ml/（kg·d） by gavage for 4 consecutive weeks.
