Objective To investigate the effect of gentiopicroside on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and to determine whether its mechanism involves the stromal cell-derived factor 1(SDF-1)/C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) pathway. Methods BMSCs were divided into six groups: normal culture control group, osteogenic induction model group, low-dose gentiopicroside (L-gentiopicroside, 10 μmol/L) group, medium-dose gentiopicroside (M-gentiopicroside, 20 μmol/L) group, high-dose gentiopicroside (H-gentiopicroside, 40 μmol/L) group, and H-gentiopicroside+SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway inhibitor (AMD3100) group (H-gentiopicroside+AMD3100, 40 μmol/L gentiopicroside+10 μg/mL AMD3100). Cell viability, apoptosis, ALP activity, mineralized nodule formation, and protein levels of the SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway were assessed using the CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, ALP staining, Alizarin Red S staining, and Western blotting, respectively. Results No mineralized nodules were observed in either the control and model group, although the color of the model group deepened. Compared with the control group, the model group showed significantly increased A value, ALP activity, expression levels of Runt related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteopontin (OPN), SDF-1, CXCR4 proteins, along with a lower apoptosis rate. Compared with the model group, the L-gentiopicroside, M-gentiopicroside and H-gentiopicroside groups showed dose-dependently (L Humans ; Receptors, CXCR4/genetics* ; Mesenchymal Stem Cells/metabolism* ; Chemokine CXCL12/genetics* ; Iridoid Glucosides/pharmacology* ; Osteogenesis/drug effects* ; Cell Differentiation/drug effects* ; Signal Transduction/drug effects* ; Cells, Cultured ; Apoptosis/drug effects* ; Bone Marrow Cells/metabolism*

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Post competency is a kind of necessary ability for professional working.In order to train the students' excellent professional skills,we have conducted exploration and reform in post competency oriented experiment teaching,through reforming experimental courses,changing teaching methods and means of examination,constructing the laboratory etc.,so that we have built a new professional training model in pathological diagnosis and technology specialty experimental teaching.The experimental teaching reform results have improved the experimental teaching quality and the talents capability.

Objective To describe the prevalence and neuropsychological character of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) associated with Parkinson' s disease(PD-MCI). Methods One hundred and three PD patients and a control group of 32 healthy old subjects were chosen. Psychometric assessment included the Mini Mental State Examination, the Dementia Rating Scale and a series of neuropsychol ogicaltests. The Hamilton Rating Scale of Depression was used to assess depression in PD patients. Results (1)Twenty-one (20.4%) PD patients was diagnosed with dementia, 45 (43.7%) had a MCI and only 37(35.9%) had no cognitive impairment; (2) Subjects with PD-MCI were older, had a later onset of the PD,and displayed more severe motor symptoms compared with those without cognitive impairment; (3) The prevalence and neuropsychological profile of PD-MCI were thought to correlate with the dominating side and subtype of Parkinsonian symptoms, for patients with left-sided dominant symptoms had a significantly higher chance of suffering MCI than those with right-sided dominant symptoms, the ratio being 74.2% vs 42.2%,χ<'2 =7. 589,P <0.05; The tremor-dominant group took less time than the mixed group for Stroop word test measurement ((80.8±39.9) s vs (94.4±30.0) s,t=3.332,P<0.01). Conclusion Identification of MCI is of important clinical significance, which helps to treat patients differently and thus predict the prognosis.
