Viral myocarditis(VMC)is a type of myocarditis caused by Coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)infection.Its pathogenesis is complex that includes direct viral action,host immune and inflammatory response,myocardial structure and function remodeling.The therapeutic effect of single target drugs is limited,while traditional Chinese medicine not only has antiviral effects,but also demon-strates systematic advantages in intervening in VMC due to its"multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway"characteristics.This article reviews the pathogenic mechanisms of CVB3-induced VMC,clarifies the interaction between CVB3 and host cells,and ex-plores the intervention mechanisms and developments of traditional Chinese medicine interventions for CVB3-induced VMC.At the same time,the prospects of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for CVB3-induced VMC in this study suggest that future research should strengthen the analysis of multi-target synergistic mechanisms based on traditional Chinese medicine formulas,combine artifi-cial intelligence,genomics,and gene editing technologies to predict drug-target interaction networks,establish standardized and per-sonalized system for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment plans,and provide more effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of VMC.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between near work, screen time, outdoor time and myopia in children based on objective monitoring technology and to explore the influencing factors related to myopia in children.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.From October 2022 to March 2023, the purposive sampling method was used to select 596 children in Grade 2 and Grade 3 from two primary schools in Shandong Province as study subjects.Eye-Monitor technology of eye-use behavior based on artificial intelligence was used to quantify parameters of near work, screen time and outdoor time.The eye-use behavior parameters were compared within each subject and between non-myopic and myopic children on weekdays and weekends.A multivariate binary logistic regression model was constructed to analyze the influencing factors related to myopia.The study protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No.HEC-HY-2022023KY).Written informed consent was obtained from the legal guardian of each subject.Results:For each subject, the proportion of near work time on weekdays was greater than on weekends, the proportion of time spent looking at cell phones, computer screens, and outdoor activities was smaller, the duration of single continuous near eye use was longer, the tilt angle of the head in sitting position was greater, and the light intensity was stronger, showing statistically significant differences ( t=19.427, -9.964, -5.916, -10.470, 2.211, 2.898, 15.061; all P<0.05).During weekdays, compared with the non-myopia group, the myopia group had longer total near work duration, longer single continuous near eye use duration, shorter outdoor activity duration, closer eye use distance, larger proportion of near work time, and smaller proportion of outdoor activity time, showing statistically significant differences (all P<0.05).During weekends, compared with the non-myopia group, the myopia group had longer time spent looking at cell phones and computer screens, shorter outdoor activity time, greater proportion of time spent looking at cell phones and computer screens, and smaller proportion of outdoor activity time, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05).During weekdays, after adjusting for confounding factors, longer single continuous near eye use duration ( OR=1.138, 95% CI: 1.086-1.192, P<0.001) was the risk factor for myopia, and longer working distance ( OR=0.906, 95% CI: 0.847-0.970, P=0.004) and longer outdoor activity time ( OR=0.127, 95% CI: 0.023-0.703, P=0.018) were protective factors for myopia.During weekends, after adjusting for confounding factors, longer time spent on looking at cell phone screens ( OR=2.437, 95% CI: 1.460-4.068, P<0.001) and longer time spent on looking at computer screens ( OR=2.260, 95% CI: 1.283-3.979, P=0.005) were risk factors for myopia, and longer outdoor activity time ( OR=0.624, 95% CI: 0.416-0.934, P=0.022) was the protective factor for myopia. Conclusions:The eyes with continuous near work, prolonged use of smartphone and computer screens, closer eye use distance, and less time spent outdoors have been confirmed to be significantly correlated with myopia based on objective monitoring data.When formulating intervention measures for myopia prevention and control in children, it is advocated to further pay attention to control the distance and duration of near work on weekdays and strengthen screen time management on weekends.

Objective:To evaluate the potential of IgG N-glycans as diagnostic biomarker for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by comparing and analyzing the IgG N-glycan profiles with AS and healthy controls.Methods:A 1∶1 matched case-control study design was adopted, 81 AS patients who visited the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at Taian City Central Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University between July 2020 and June 2021 were recruited. These patients were matched with 81 healthy individuals undergoing routine physical checkup. The levels of IgG N-glycosylation in human plasma were quantitatively measured using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography. Binomial logistic regression analysis was performed to identify IgG N-glycan biomarkers associated with AS.Results:A total of 14 primary glycans and 13 derived traits showed statistically significant differences between the AS case group and the control group. Binomial logistic regression analysis showed that glycan peak 4, agalactosylated glycans, fucosylated glycans, and fucosylated agalactosylated glycans were positively associated with AS[ OR(95% CI)=1.12(1.01, 1.42), 1.21(1.03, 1.43), 1.48(1.08, 2.03), and 1.27(1.04, 1.55); P=0.036, 0.022, 0.039, 0.020, respectively]. In terms of diagnostic performance, the single glycan GP4 exhibited the largest area under the ROC curve, with an AUC (95% CI) 0.751 (0.677, 0.826), while the combined glycan indicators (GP4+G0+F+FG0) achieved an AUC (95% CI) 0.768(0.697, 0.840). Conclusion:IgG N-glycans have the potentials to serve as candidate biomarkers for AS, and warrants further investigation.

Objective:To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of circular RNA-centrosome and spindle pole-associated protein 1 (circ-CSPP1) on the malignant biological behavior of hepatoma cells.Methods:Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of circ-CSPP1 and microRNA-582-5p (miR-582-5p) in hepatoma cells, and Western blotting was used to detect the expression of karyopherins α2 (KPNA2). HepG2 cells were divided into the circ-CSPP1 overexpression group, the circ-CSPP1 overexpression control group, the si-CSPP1 group, the si-NC group, the si-CSPP1+ miR-582-5p inhibition group, and the si-CSPP1+ miR-582-5p inhibition control group. circ-CSPP1 overexpression plasmid, CSPP1 interfering small RNA, CSPP1 interfering small RNA, miR-582-5p inhibition sequence and negative control were transfected respectively in these groups. Cell proliferation in each group was detected by 5-acetylene-2'-deoxyuridine (Edu), invasion ability was detected by Transwell assay, and the binding of circ-CSPP1 and KPNA2 to miR-582-5p was verified by dual-luciferase assay. In the si-CSPP1 group, HepG2 cells transfected with si-CSPP1 lentivirus were subcutaneously injected into the back of nude mice ( n=12), and in the si-NC group, HepG2 cells transfected with negative control lentivirus ( n=12) were injected. The tumor mass, volume, circ-CSPP1 and KPNA2 were detected. Results:In the circ-CSPP1 overexpression group, the relative expression of circ-CSPP1 was (1.68±0.17), the expression of KPNA2 was (1.52±0.16), and the number of invasive cells in the 100-fold field of view was (128.4±13.5), which were all higher than those in the circ-CSPP1 overexpression control group [(1.25±0.16), (1.24±0.15), (128.4±13.5)], while the expression of miR-552-5p was lower than that in the circ-CSPP1 overexpression control group [(0.96±0.11) vs (1.31±0.15)]; The relative expression of circ-CSPP1 in the si-CSPP1 group was (1.02±0.13), KPNA2 was (0.74±0.09), and the number of invasive cells was (53.5±6.7), which were lower than those in the si-NC group [(1.28±0.14), (1.22±0.13), (74.6±8.3)], while the expression of miR-582-5p was higher than that in the si-NC group [(1.71±0.18) vs (1.32±0.14)]; The expression of circ-CSPP1 and KPNA2 and the number of invasion cells in the si-CSPP1+ miR-582-5p inhibition group was higher than that in the si-CSPP1+ miR-582-5p inhibition control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The results of cell proliferation were consistent with those of invasion. The dual-luciferase gene report showed that, compared with the miR-NC group, the relative luciferase activity in HepG2 cells co-transfected with circ-CSPP1-WT or KPNA2-WT wild-type reporter vectors in the miR-882-5p mimic group decreased [(0.46±0.05) vs (1.03±0.11), (0.42±0.03) vs (1.01±0.09)]. The differences were all statistically significant (both P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the relative luciferase activity in HepG2 cells co-transfected with the circ-CSPP1-MUT or KPNA2-MUT mutant reporter vectors (both P>0.05). The tumor weight, volume and circ-CSPP1 and KPNA2 expressions in tumor tissue of nude mice in the si-CSPP1 group were all lower than those in the si-NC group, and the expression of miR-582-5p was higher than that in the si-NC group. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Inhibition of circ-CSPP1 suppressed the malignant biological behavior of hepatoma cells and tumor growth by upregulating miR-582-5p and downregulating KPNA2.

Objective:
To explore the influencing factors and pathways of suicidal ideation among children and adolescents with severe autism spectrum disorder (ASD), so as to provide references for clarifying the impact intensity and pathways of various factors on suicidal ideation in the population.
Methods:
A cross sectional study was conducted from June 17, 2024, to January 12, 2025, involving 96 severely affected ASD children and adolescents aged 8-18 years from Tianjin. Participants were assessed using the Puberty Development Scale (PDS), Children s Alexithymia Measure (CAM), Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI). The random forest Boruta algorithm was employed to screen core variables, and a Bayesian network model was constructed to analyze the influencing factors of suicidal ideation in children and adolescents with severe ASD.
Results:
Through the screening using the Boruta algorithm, the SDQ scale score, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer relationship problems and prosocial behavior were identified as the key predictors of suicidal ideation. A Bayesian network model was established with hyperactivity as the central mediating node. The impact of hyperactivity on suicidal ideation exhibited a non linear relationship: compared to the normal state (31.6%, 68.4%), the borderline state of hyperactivity was associated with a higher probability of low risk suicidal ideation (47.1%) and a lower probability of high risk suicidal ideation (52.9%). Suicidal ideation among children and adolescents with severe ASD was closely related to hyperactivity. In the state of hyperactivity, the abnormal peer relationship (95.2%) and the abnormal prosocial behavior (77.0%) were aggravated.
Conclusions
Suicide ideation among children and adolescents with severe ASD is strongly associated with hyperactivity traits. It is necessary to establish a prevention and control system centered on hyperactivity intervention to reduce this risk.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the therapeutic mechanism of Arctium lappa extract for treatment of Post-Viral Pneumonia Pulmonary Fibrosis (PPF).
METHODS:
The chemical constituents of Arctium lappa extracts were identified using UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. Mouse models of pulmonary fibrosis established by tracheal instillation of bleomycin were treated with Arctium lappa extract, and body weight changes were recorded and lung tissue pathology was examined using HE and Masson staining. Metabolomics analysis was used to identify the differential metabolites and the associated metabolic pathways in the treated mice. The common targets of viral pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis were acquired from the publicly available databases, and the core targets and active constituents were screened using the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, and molecular docking, and a "gene-metabolite" regulatory network was constructed. The expressions of the core targets were detected in the lung tissues of the treated mice using Western blotting.
RESULTS:
Fifty-three chemical constituents were identified from Arctium lappa extract. In the mouse models of pulmonary fibrosis, treatment with Arctium lappa extract significantly improved weight loss and ameliorated lung inflammation and fibrosis. The differential metabolites in the treated mice were enriched in energy metabolism pathways involving citrate cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, glycolysis, tryptophan metabolism, glutamate metabolism and glutathione metabolism, which regulated the production of energy metabolism intermediates. Twenty-three key active compounds (mostly lignans and phenolic acids) and 82 core targets were screened, which were associated with the non-canonical Smad signaling pathways (including PI3K/AKT, HIF-1, MAPK, and Foxo) that participated in the regulation of energy metabolism. Arctium lappa extract also regulated the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)‑related proteins (fibronectin, vimentim, and Snail, etc.) and inhibited MAPK signaling pathway activation.
CONCLUSIONS
Preliminary findings suggest that Arctium lappa treats fibrosis by regulating metabolism to inhibit EMT and involves the modulation of non-canonical Smad signaling pathways, such as MAPK providing theoretical support for its clinical application and further research in treating PPF.
