ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the protective effects of the Tanyu Tongzhi Youhua prescription（TYTZP） against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats via regulation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase （cGAS）/stimulator of interferon genes （STING） signaling pathway. MethodsFifty-six 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into sham group， model group， ticagrelor group （32.4 mg·kg^-1）， RU320521 （RU.521cGAS inhibitors） group （5 mL·kg^-1）， groups of TYTZP with low dose （3.6 g·kg^-1）， medium dose （7.2 g·kg^-1）， and high dose （14.4 g·kg^-1）， with eight rats per group. The ticagrelor group and groups of TYTZP with different doses received pre-treatment for seven days according to their respective protocols. The RU.521 group received an intraperitoneal injection one hour before modeling. A rat model of the no-reflow phenomenon in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in situ. Myocardial no-reflow area was determined by thioflavin staining. Histopathological morphology of myocardial tissue was observed via hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining. Cardiac function was detected by echocardiography. Myocardial microcirculation function change was observed by using real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography. The myocardial enzyme levels in the serum were measured by serum biochemical analysis. The double-stranded DNA （dsDNA） levels were detected by using PicoGreen. The protein expression of cGAS， STING， and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） p65 in myocardial tissue was detected by Western blot. The levels of cardiac troponin Ⅰ （cTNⅠ）， cardiac troponin T （cTNT）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the peripheral blood were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group showed a significantly increased myocardial no-reflow area （P<0.01）. Myocardial fiber rupture and disarray and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed by HE staining. The ultrasound results indicated that left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and left ventricular fractional shortening （LVFS） （P<0.01） were significantly decreased. Real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography showed that the peak time of myocardial blood perfusion was significantly prolonged （P<0.01）， and the levels of creatine kinase （CK）， creatine kinase isoenzyme （CK-MB）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， cTNⅠ， cTNT， and dsDNA were significantly elevated （P<0.01）. Western blot results showed that the myocardial protein expressions of cGAS， STING， and NF-κB p65 were upregulated （P<0.01）. ELISA results showed that the inflammatory factors in the serum such as IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α were increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the group of the TYTZP significantly reduced the levels of myocardial enzyme， troponins， and dsDNA （P<0.01， P<0.05）， improved cardiac function and myocardial microcirculation， alleviated histopathological morphology and inflammatory infiltration， inhibited activation of the cGAS/STING pathway， reduced the expression of NF-κB p65 （P<0.01， P<0.05）， and inhibited inflammatory response. ConclusionThe TYTZP mitigates the no-reflow phenomenon in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury， and its mechanism is associated with inhibiting the activation of the cGAS/STING pathway and attenuating inflammatory responses.

Atherosclerosis （AS） is a chronic and inflammatory vascular disease. Macrophages are common immune cells and play an important role in the development of AS. In recent years， research has found that the formation of AS plaques is closely related to pathological and physiological processes such as macrophage polarization， energy metabolism， and lipid phagocytosis. This review aims to summarize the mechanism of macrophages in the development of AS， and to explore potential therapeutic methods for delaying AS by regulating macrophages， providing new ideas for the treatment and research of AS.

Objective To explore the interaction mechanisms among different dimensions of online learning competence in undergraduates,providing scientific evidence for optimizing software design and online education strategies.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 347 undergraduates from Kunming Medical University via an online questionnaire in October 2024.Reliability testing and exploratory factor analysis were performed using SPSS 26.0,while structural equation modeling was constructed with Amos 24.0.Results Driving force directly and positively influenced regulatory force(β=0.778,P<0.001)and reciprocal force(β=0.302,P=0.003),but had no significant direct effect on adaptive force(β=0.131,P=0.182).Regulatory force and reciprocal force both exerted direct positive effects on adaptive force(β=0.262,P=0.022;β=0.410,P<0.001).The indirect effect of driving force on adaptive force accounted for 78.1%of the total effect(P=0.007),with regulatory force showing a significant mediating role(β=0.178,P=0.023),while reciprocal force alone did not(β=0.108,P=0.060).A chain mediating effect(driving force→regulatory force→reciprocal force→adaptive force)was confirmed(β=0.124,P=0.004).Conclusion Driving force serves as the core of online learning competence,and adaptive capacity is enhanced through regulatory and reciprocal forces.To promote knowledge internalization and adaptability,it is required to optimize feedback mechanisms and deepen interactive designs in online learning platforms.

Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Astragalus Polysacharin(APS) on the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells by regulating miR-107 and miR-346-mediated macrophage polarization in breast cancer-derived exosomes. Methods: Forty 8-week-old female BALB/c mice were selected and breast cancer xenograft models and 4T1 transplanted tumor models were established. The mice were divided into the control group and the APS group. The APS group mice received daily intragastric administration of APS for 25 days, while the control group mice were given the same amount of normal saline. After all treatments were completed, the mice were euthanized, and tumor tissues were isolated. Western blot and flow cytometry were used to detect the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), Ki-67, CD206, CD163, inducible nitric-oxide synthase(iNOS), and CD86. The apoptosis of single-cell suspensions in tumor tissues was analyzed. Human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was cultured and stimulated with APS, and exosomes from the cell culture medium were collected. The proliferation, migration, and invasion of cells were detected by CCK-8 assay, scratch assay, permeability chamber cell invasion assay, and qRT-PCR. Differentially expressed genes were screened by bioinformatics. Results : By measuring the expressions of molecules related to breast cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, it was shown that APS treatment reduced the expressions of proliferation-related proteins(PCNA and Ki-67) and metastasis-related proteins(Vimentin) in MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumor tissues; and the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages was observed. APS treatment of 4T1 transplanted tumor tissues could reduce the number of M2 macrophages and increase the number of M1 macrophages, resulting in a decrease in the ratio of M2/M1 macrophages and an increase in cell apoptosis in 4T1 transplanted tumor tissues. The expressions of related proteins iNOS and CD86 increased, and CD206 and CD163 decreased. After APS treatment, the exosomes produced by MDA-MB-231 reduced the polarization of M2 macrophages and affected the expressions of miR-107 and miR-346. Conclusion APS inhibits the polarization of M2 macrophages by regulating the expression of miR-107 or miR-346 in breast cancer cell-derived exosomes, ultimately inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells.

Objective To analyse correlation between automatic quantification of emphysema and lung function based on artificial intelligence(AI)model algorithm by chest computed tomography(CT)in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods The clinical and imaging data of hospitalized COPD patients who received chest CT plain scan in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province,Enze Hospital of Taizhou Enze Medical Center(Group)from December 2020 to May 2021 were retrospectively collected,patients were classified into five levels of ventilator-function decline.By using the AI model,the extent of emphysema lesions in COPD patients were calculated,low-attenuation areas below-950HU were identified and their low attenuation area percentage(LAA％)were calculated.Combined with the output results of AI model and whether each variable met the characteristics of normal distribution,Pearson correlation coefficient between percentage of measured forced expiratory volume at the end of 1 second to estimated value(FEV1％)and LAA％of each lung lobe,and the Spearman correlation coefficient between FEV1 as a percentage of forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)and LAA％of each lung lobe in patients with different COPD grades were calculated respectively.Results There was a negative correlation between total lung LAA％and FEV1/FVC in moderate COPD(r=-0.632,P=0.001).Total lung LAA％in very severe COPD was negatively correlated with both FEV1/FVC and FEV1％(r=-0.562,P=0.045 and r=-0.701,P=0.004).The results of lung segment analysis showed that LAA％of the left upper lung lobe was more strongly correlated with pulmonary function indicators in extremely severe COPD(r=-0.650,P=0.016 andr=-0.731,P=0.002).The correlation between left inferior lobe LAA％and FEV1/FVC was stronger correlation in patients with moderate COPD(r=-0.712,P=0.000).In smoking patients,LAA％was moderate correlated with FEV1(r=-0.534,P=0.006),and LAA％was moderate correlated with FEV1/FVC(r=-0.564,P=0.003).Conclusion AI-based emphysema quantification results have a good correlation with FEV1/FVC and FEV1％,which can provide strong support for the diagnosis and classification of COPD based on CT plain scan images.

Objective:To investigate the value of MULTI-parametric MR imaging with flexible design (MTP) combined with microview diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting pituitary tumor invasion of cavernous sinus.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. The clinicopathological and imaging data of 59 patients with suspected pituitary tumor who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from December 2021 to August 2024 were prospectively analyzed. According to Knosp classification, patients with pituitary tumor were divided into non-invasive group (28 cases) and invasive group (31 cases). All patients underwent MTP and microview DWI sequence scanning, and the corresponding parameter values [T 1, R 2*, T 2* and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)] were measured on the MTP quantitative map and ADC map at the maximum diameter level of the pituitary tumor. Independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the clinical data, quantitative parameter values and proliferation index (Ki-67) between the non-invasive group and the invasive group. Quantitative parameter values with statistically significant differences were jointly included in logistic regression to construct the model. Receiver characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to analyze single variables and logistic model in predicting the value invasion of pituitary tumor cavernous sinus invasion. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the quantitative values and Ki-67 level. Results:There was no significant difference in age and gender between the non-invasive group and the invasive group ( P>0.05). T 1 and T 2* values in invasion group were higher than those in non-invasion group ( Z=4.42, P<0.001; Z=3.43, P<0.001), R 2* values and ADC values in the invasion group were lower than those in the non-invasion group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.07, P<0.001; Z=-3.07, P=0.002). The AUC values of T 1, R 2*, T 2*, ADC, logistic model 1(T 1+R 2*+ADC) and logistic model 2(T 1+T 2*+ADC) for predicting pituitary tumor cavernous sinus invasion were 0.835, 0.767, 0.760, 0.733, 0.926 and 0.925, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the value of pituitary tumor T 1 was positively correlated with Ki-67 ( r=0.431, P=0.002). Conclusion:Quantitative parameters of MTP sequence and microview DWI sequence can quantitatively evaluate pituitary tumor invasion of cavernous sinus, and the combination of the two sequences can significantly improve the prediction efficiency.

Objective:To investigate the role of pyroptosis in T-2 toxin induced articular cartilage injury.Methods:A total of 145 SPF grade male Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group ( n = 45), solvent control group ( n = 45), and T-2 toxin group ( n = 55) based on body weight (50 - 70 g). The T-2 toxin group and the solvent control group were given 100 ng·g -1·d -1 T-2 toxin and an equal amount of anhydrous ethanol by gavage, respectively; the blank control group was fed routinely. Fifteen rats from each group were euthanized at 6, 12, and 24 weeks of intervention, and bilateral knee joints of the rats were collected. Pathological changes in rat knee articular cartilage were observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining was used to detect chondrocyte injury. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of gasdermin D (GSDMD), cleaved N-terminal of gasdermin D (GSDMD-N), NOD like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 1 (Caspase-1), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 18 (IL-18), and apoptosis-associated spike-like protein containing CARD (ASC). Results:At 6, 12, and 24 weeks of intervention, the T-2 toxin group rats showed varying degrees of damage to the knee articular cartilage tissue, including a decrease in the number of chondrocytes and death. At 24 weeks of intervention, the TUNEL staining positivity rates of chondrocytes in the blank control group, solvent control group, and T-2 toxin group were (1.28 ± 0.45)%, (0.73 ± 0.27)%, and (4.01 ± 2.37)%, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the groups ( F = 6.11, P = 0.036); and the T-2 toxin group was higher than the blank control group ( P < 0.05). At 24 weeks of intervention, there were statistically significant differences in the expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, and IL-1β proteins among the blank control group, solvent control group, and T-2 toxin group ( F = 3.81, 11.81, 6.74, 3.71, 155.49, P = 0.044, 0.003, 0.023, 0.036, 0.001); and the T-2 toxin group was higher than the blank control group ( P < 0.05). At different intervention cycles, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of ASC and IL-18 proteins among the groups ( F = 0.78, 0.93, 3.73, 2.26, 0.88, 0.11, P > 0.05). Conclusion:The NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway mediated pyroptosis is involved in T-2 toxin induced articular cartilage injury in rats.

Objective To systematically analyze the cross-sectoral health policy frameworks and strategic priorities of the World Health Organization(WHO),United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO),Euro-pean Union(EU),and China in promoting college students'physical activity,adolescent health and mental health,to explore the ways integrating physical activity-related health policies with the polices of college students health and quality physical education.Methods Based on WHO's health promotion framework and with reference to the"Health in All Policies"(HiAP)ap-proach,a content analysis was conducted on health-related policies of WHO,UNESCO,EU and China.Results In the health sector,the international community established a policy system centered on health promotion and the governance concept of HiAP.WHO's Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030 and related strate-gies on mental health identified physical activity as a core measure to promote both physical and mental health.The EU's recommendations on Health-Enhancing Physical Activity provided a scheme for translating global strat-egies into monitorable cross-sectoral regional actions.China's national strategies,such as Healthy China 2030 Planning Outline and Integration of Sports and Education demonstrated strong advantages in policy mobilization and resource allocation,with distinct focuses compared to international frameworks in terms of policy systematic-ity,participatory implementation and evaluation orientation.In the education sector,international policies empha-sized the integration of health promotion and education,evolving from ensuring Physical Education Hours to pro-moting Quality Physical Education and Physical Literacy.Through the frameworks like Kazan Action Plan and Health Promoting Universities represented by Okanagan Charter,campus sports was elevated to a level of serv-ing sustainable development and promoting overall well-being.China's National Fitness Program(2021-2025)and Basic Standards for Physical Education in Higher Education Institutions provided specific implementation plans for such integration.Conclusion For the cross-sectoral issue of college students physical activity and health,the international community has constructed an integrated policy framework based on health promotion,integrating policies on physical activity,adolescent health and mental health,to establish a more comprehensive,systematic and inclusive path.In higher education,the trend of integrating health and education policies is significant;physical activity is no longer re-garded as an isolated issue in physical education,but as a key cross-cutting strategy and policy to address non-communicable diseases,improve mental health,promote the holistic development of youth,and achieve the Sus-tainable Development Goals.China should,on the basis of Integration of Sports and Education,further expand HiAP-based cross-sectoral collaboration in accordance with health promotion principles;policy goals should not only focus on physical fitness standards,but also consider intrinsic interest,enjoyable experience and lifelong habit formation;and actively draw on the holistic systems perspective of Health Promoting Universities to build a supportive campus health promotion ecosystem that facilitates the comprehensive physical and mental develop-ment of every student.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of Thesium chinense Turcz.(TCT)for antibiotic-associated diarrhea(AAD).Methods Network pharmacology,KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and molecular docking were used to identify the shared targets and genes of TCT and AAD,the key signaling pathways and the binding between the active components in TCT and the core protein targets.In a Kunming mouse model of AAD established by intragastric administration of lincomycin hydrochloride,the effects of daily gavage of 1%carboxymethyl cellulose sodium or TCT gel solutions at 1.5 g/kg and 3 g/kg(n=10)on body weight and diarrhea were observed.HE staining,ELISA,16S rRNA sequencing,and Western blotting were used to examine pathologies,expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α,changes in gut microbiota,and protein expressions of EGFR,p-EGFR,PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,and p-Akt in the colon tissues of the mice.Results We identified a total of 66 active components of TCT and 68 core targets including EGFR,STAT3 and PIK3CA.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that the therapeutic effects of TCT was mediated primarily through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Molecular docking showed that EGFR had the highest binding affinity with coniferin,and the EGFR-coniferin complex maintained a stable conformation at 10 ns,whose stability was also confirmed by Gibbs free energy analysis.In the mouse models of AAD,treatment with TCT significantly improved colonic tissue morphology,decreased colonic levels of TNF-α and IL-6,increased gut microbiota diversity,and modulated the relative abundances of the key genera including Lactobacillus and Bacteroides.TCT treatment also markedly reduced protein expressions of p-EGFR,p-PI3K and p-Akt in the colon tissues of the mice.Conclusion TCT can alleviate AAD in mice by modulating gut microbiota composition,regulating the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,and reducing TNF-α and IL-6 expressions.
