Objective To investigate the association between dietary patterns and adolescent development in girls in Pudong New Area，Shanghai. Methods Using a stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 998 girls were selected from the cohort of growth, development, and health of children and adolescents in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Physical development examinations and dietary surveys were conducted on these girls. Principal component analysis was used to determine girls' dietary patterns, and their relationship with adolescent development was analyzed using logistic regression. Results Among the 998 participants, 770 (77.15%) were pubertal girls. The factor analysis identified three dietary patterns, fungi and algae~nuts~legumes pattern, meat-vegetables and fruits-cereals pattern, and milk-eggs pattern. Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, waist circumference, residential district, mother's education level, and father's education level, the Q2 level (OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.30-0.99), Q3 level (OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.27-0.91), and Q4 level (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.90) of the fungi and algae-nuts-legumes pattern were negatively correlated with adolescent development. The Q2 level (OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.27-0.87) and Q3 level (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.27-0.88) of the milk-eggs pattern were also negatively correlated with adolescent development. Conclusion The fungi and algae~nuts~legumes pattern and milk-eggs patterns are inversely related to pubertal development.

Objective To observe the effect of sevoflurane(SEV)on the expression of myocardial biological clock gene aromatic hydrocarbon receptor nuclear transport-like protein 1(BMAL1)in diabetic rats and to explore its changes.Methods Sixty healthy male SD rats with a body mass of 200-250 g were divided into oxygen inhalation group(NC)and sevoflurane inhalation group(SEV).The diabetic model was routinely replicated,and the model was divided into oxygen group(DM)and sevoflurane group(DM+SEV)with an inhalation time of 5 h(n=15).Four groups of experimental animals were executed at 0,12 and 24 h after the anesthesia was stopped and then myocardial tissue was isolated.Western blot was used to determine the expression level of biological clock gene BMAL1 protein and its activation enzyme USP9X;HE staining microspy to observe the pathological changes of my-ocardial tissue and immuno-fluorescence co-localization to observe the relationship between USP9X and BMAL1.Results At 0 and 12 h after stopping anesthesia,the expression of BMAL1 and USP9X in the DM+SEV group was significantly down-regulated as compared with the DM group,and the expression of BMAL1 and USP9X in the DM+SEV group was significantly down-regulated(P<0.05)at 24 h after stopping anesthesia(P>0.05).HE staining microscopy found changes of myocardial tissue structure in the DM+SEV group at 0 and 12 hrs after stopping anes-thesia.This change was most significant at 0 h after stopping anesthesia,but the myocardial tissue structure was neatly arranged at 24 h.The results of immuno-fluorescence colocalization showed that USP9X and BMAL1 proteins were mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of cardio-myocardium with and overlapping parts between them.Under the influence of sevoflurane,there was less overlap between the two at 0 and 12 hrs after stopping anesthesia and more overlap between the two at 24 h,which was close to that of the DM group.Conclusions Sevoflurane reversibly changes the expression of myocardial circadian clock gene BMAL1 in diabetic rats and this change still existe for 12 h after stopping anesthesia,then significantly fade away 24 hrs after stopping anesthesia.

The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway(CAP)is a neuroimmunoregulatory pathway that has attracted much attention in recent years.This pathway releases acetylcholine(ACh)by activating the vagus nerve.The binding of ACh to α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor receptors on the surface of macrophages can inhibit the release of proinflammatory factors,so as to effectively regulate the inflammatory response in the body.CAP plays a key role in suppressing excessive inflammatory responses and maintaining immune balance,providing a potential therapeutic pathway for a variety of inflammatory immune diseases.Research progress on the physiological function of CAP and its activation and blocking methods are reviewed in this paper,in order to provide new methods and ideas for treatment of inflammation-related diseases and exploring therapeutic drugs targeting CAP pathway.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which curcumin improves behavioral deficits in mice with Parkinson's disease(PD)through fecal microbiota transplantation.Methods A subacute model of PD in mice was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP).Fecal microbiota from both the model group and the curcumin(Cur)-treated group(80 m g/kg)were collected and analyzed.The experiment involving fecal microbiota transplantation was structured into four distinct groups,fecal microbiota solvent transplantation group(FMTcon),model fecal microbiota transplantation group(FMTmodel),MPTP-induced model group(model),and model group subjected to fecal microbiota transplantation following curcumin treatment(model+FMTCur).The motor skills of the mice were assessed by using rod rotation,pole climbing experiment,and open field tests.Immunofluorescence techniques were employed to observe the expression tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)-positive neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain.Additionally,the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the midbrain of mice was analyzed,alongside the protein expression of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)and nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3).Results The subacute PD animal model in mice was successfully established,and fecal microbiota were separated and gathered.The model group exhibited significant motor impairment,as evidenced by a shortened rod rotation time(P＜0.05),prolonged pole climbing time(P＜0.05),significantly reduced total movement distance within the open field(P＜0.001),and decreased time spent in the central zone(P＜0.01).The relative expression level of TH+neurons in the substantia nigra was significantly reduced(P＜0.01).Moreover,mRNA expression of TNF-α in the midbrain increased significantly(P＜0.01),along with significant elevations in protein expression of NF-κB(P＜0.001),phosphorylated NF-κB(p-NF-κB)(P＜0.01),NLRP3(P＜0.001),and Caspase-1(P＜0.01).The transplanted model microbial group(FMTmodel)also exhibited motor impairment,manifested by a trend of shortened rod rotation time,prolonged pole climbing time,a significant decrease in total movement distance within the open field(P＜0.01),and a trend of shortened time spent in the central zone.The relative expression level of TH+neurons in the substantia nigra decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Additionally,mRNA expression of TNF-α in the midbrain increased significantly(P＜0.01),along with notable elevations in the protein expression of NF-κB(P＜0.05),and Caspase-1(P＜0.01).Treatment with curcumin in the fecal microbiota transplantation group of mice(model+FMTCur)showed improvements in motor abilities,evidenced by shortened pole climbing time(P＜0.05),significantly prolonged rod rotation time(P＜0.01),and extended time spent in the central zone(P＜0.05).The relative expression level of TH+dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra increased significantly(P＜0.05).Moreover,mRNA expression of TNF-α in the midbrain decreased significantly(P＜0.01),along with notable reductions in the protein expression of NF-κB(P＜0.001),p-NF-κB(P＜0.01),NLRP3(P＜0.05),and Caspase-1(P＜0.01).Conclusion Fecal microbiota transplantation in PD model mice can induce behavioral deficits,damage TH+neurons in the substantia nigra,and trigger neuroinflammation in the brain.Subsequent curcumin treatment can ameliorate these deficits,reverse damage to TH+neurons,reduce neuroinflammatory factors,and decrease the expression of NF-κB and NLRP3 pathways.This preliminary evidence suggests that curcumin may improve Parkinsonian behavioral deficits in mice by modulating the gut microbiota.

AIM To study the chemical constituents from the sticks and leaves of Croton cascarilloides Raeusch.and their biological activities.METHODS The 95％ethanol extract from the sticks and leaves of C.cascarilloides was isolated and purified by MCI,silica gel,Sephadex LH-20 and semi-preparative HPLC,then the structures of obtained compounds were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral data.LPS-induced NO RAW264.7 cell model induced by LPS was used to evaluate its anti-inflammatory activity in vitro.GES-1 injury model induced by taurocholic acid was used to screen the gastric mucosal protection activity.RESULTS Fourteen compounds were isolated and identified as bullatantriol(1),(-)-boscialin(2),(+)-dehydrovomifoliol(3),3-(hydroxylacetyl)-indole(4),pinoresinol(5),3,7-dimethyl-octa-1,7-diene-3,6-ol(6),(+)-syringaresinol(7),curcasinlignan B(8),cleomiscosin C(9),cleomiscosinD(10),2,6-dimethyl-octa-1,7-dien-3,6-diol(11),vanillin(12),vanillic acid(13),methyl vanillate(14).Compound 4 had certain anti-inflammatory activity,with IC50 values of 73.62 μmol/L.The protective rates of 25 μmol/L compounds 1-4,6,9-12 and 14 on gastric mucosal epithelial cells were 30.07％,34.18％,23.91％,30.92％,17.51％,19.69％,31.76％,22.46％,30.56％and 14.49％,respectively.CONCLUSION Compounds 1-14 are isolated from this plant for the first time.Compound 4 shows anti-inflammatory activity,1-4,6,9-12 and 14 show different degrees of gastric mucosal epithelial cell protective activity.

OBJECTIVE To screen and obtain nanobodies with neutralizing activity against granulo-cyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF)to contribute to investigations into the mecha-nism of inflammation interventions and the development new drugs.METHODS Recombinant human GM-CSF was subcutaneously injected to immunize camels.Peripheral blood was collected after five immunizations,and mononuclear cells were isolated.Total mRNA was extracted,and the variable domains of the heavy chain of heavy-chain antibody(VHH,also called nanobody)genes were obtained by PCR amplification after reverse transcription.The genes were cloned into the pADSCFV-S phage display vector and electrotransformed into TG1 competent cells to construct a nanobody immune library that was screened with recombinant human GM-CSF immobilized on a solid phase.The VHH genes specifi-cally binding to human GM-CSF were cloned into the pABG eukaryotic expression vector before VHH-Fc samples were prepared by using the human embryonic kidney 293 fibroblast expression system.The binding activity of candidate VHH-Fc molecules to GM-CSF was investigated through ELISA response curves,and binding colorimetric values with different antigens were detected to determine their specificity.The binding affinity between VHH-Fc candidates and GM-CSF was measured using biolayer interferom-etry(BLI).The inhibition rate curve of VHH-Fc candidates on GM-CSF was detected through cell prolif-eration assays to determine its neutralization activity.The Uncle system was used to investigate its thermal stability.100 μg of VHH-Fc was injected into mice via the tail vein,and the serum concentration of VHH-Fc was quantitatively detected by ELISA to examine its pharmacokinetic curve in mice.RESULTS The camel serum titer of anti-human GM-CSF antibodies was higher than 1:800 000 after the fifth immuni-zation,and the capacity of the constructed nanobody library was about 5.55×107.Following the screening process,five candidate VHH-Fc molecules specifically binding to human GM-CSF were obtained.Among these,22N10 effectively neutralized the cell proliferation-promoting activity of GM-CSF(the IC50 value was 17.23 nmol·L-1).Subsequent studies revealed that 22N10 interacted with human GM-CSF with an affinity of 1.97×10-8 mol·L-1,blocked the binding of GM-CSF to its receptor CSF2Rα,exhibited good thermal stability(Tm1=59.2℃),and showed favorable metabolic characteristics in mice.CONCLU-SION A new candidate nanobody molecule 22N10 targeting human GM-CSF is obtained which is expected to facilitate the drug development and mechanism investigations.

Objective:To explore the impact of the two-way referral model on compliance and prognosis in patients with heart failure.Methods:This bidirectional cohort study enrolled chronic heart failure (CHF) patients treated at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University or designated primary hospitals between March 2018 and March 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups based on referral status: two-way referral group (participating in the referral model with≥1 follow-up visit at primary hospitals) and the core hospital group (receiving treatment and follow-up exclusively at Qilu Hospital). Baseline clinical characteristics were collected and compared between groups. Patients underwent followed-up, with primary endpoints including follow-up rate, drug (β-blockers, angiotension converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers (ARB)/angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists) utilization rate and target dose achievement rate. Secondary endpoints encompassed changes from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd), and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), plus cardiovascular mortality and heart failure rehospitalization. Generalized linear mixed models analyzed longitudinal trends in LVEF, LVEDd, and NT-proBNP levels. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression evaluated LVEF recovery rates, supplemented by subgroup analyses. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing target dose achievement rate for β-blockers and ACEI/ARB/ARNI therapies in CHF patients.Results:A total of 357 patients were enrolled, aged 53 (41, 63) years, including 256 males (71.7%). 157 patients were in the two-way referral group and 200 patients in the core hospital-treated group. Compared with the core hospital-treated group, the two-way referral group had lower baseline LVEF (28 (22, 34)% vs. 31 (23, 36)%, P=0.021) and systolic blood pressure (116 (104, 125) mmHg vs. 121 (109, 134) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), P=0.010). The 12-month follow-up rate of the two-way referral group was higher than the core hospital-treated group (73.8% vs. 56.0%, P=0.004). No significant between-group differences were observed in drug utilization rate of β-blockers, ACEI/ARB/ARNI, or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors during follow-up (all P>0.05), while mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists use showed a declining trend in both groups. Although the core hospital-treated group had higher target dose achievement rates for β-blockers (65.4% vs. 49.3%, P=0.042) and ACEI/ARB/ARNI (79.8% vs. 65.8%, P=0.046) than the two-way referral group, multivariate logistic regression indicated that the two-way referral model was not a negative predictor for these outcomes (all P>0.05). Both groups showed improved NT-proBNP, LVEDd, and LVEF from baseline (all P<0.001) with no significant difference in trends between groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the composite incidence (7.6% vs. 6.5%, P=0.674) and cumulative incidence (log-rank P=0.684) of cardiovascular death and heart failure rehospitalization at 12 months between two groups. Conclusion:The two-way referral model demonstrates advantages in improving medication adherence, drug utilization rates, and targetdoseachievement rates among CHF patients. This model not only promotes cardiac functional recovery but also reduces risks of cardiovascular mortality and heart failure rehospitalization, achieving comparable therapeutic and management outcomes to those observed in core hospital-treated patients.

The thermal sensitivity of enzymes is a key bottleneck that restricts their practical application,and the development of efficient enzyme stability enhancement technology has important application value.Based on the principle of metal-polyphenol coordination chemistry,this study used tannic acid-ferric ion(TA-FeⅢ)coordination polymer to nano-encapsulate catalase(CAT)and systematically explored its stability enhancement effect.The catalytic activity retention rate of the immobilized enzyme in extreme environments(High temperature,organic solvents,denaturants and pH 3-11)was significantly improved compared with that of the free enzyme,proving that the TA-FeⅢ nanoshell had a significant environmental barrier effect.In the long-term stability test,the immobilized enzyme retained 20％activity after a 30-d storage at room temperature,and its effective activity was prolonged to 8 times that of the free enzyme in the accelerated inactivation test at 37 ℃.In addition,several cyclic catalytic experiments demonstrated that the immobilized enzyme exhibited good reusability,thus broadening its practical application.

Objective To compare the application effects of plankton multiplex polymerase chain reac-tion-capillary electrophoresis(PCR-CE),SYBR Green Ⅰ real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR)and microwave digestion-vacuum filtration-automated scanning electron microscopy(MD-VF-Auto SEM)in the diagnosis of drowning.Methods Lung,liver and kidney tissues from 212 drowned corpses and 30 non-drowned corpses were examined respectively by the three drowning-related plankton testing methods,and the detection rates of plankton in each tissue by three methods were compared.Results In drowned corpses,the total detection rates of PCR-CE,qPCR,and MD-VF-Auto SEM were 93.9%,96.2%,and 95.3%,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).The detection rate of lung tissue by MD-VF-Auto SEM(100%)was higher than those of PCR-CE and qPCR(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in the detection rates of the three methods in liver or kidney tissues(P>0.05).In non-drowning corpses,a small number of diatoms(less than 10 cells/10 g)were detected by MD-VF-Auto SEM method,only in liver and kidney tissues,while the other two methods yielded negative results for all tissues.Conclusion All three methods have good efficacy in the examination of drowned corpses.The MD-VF-Auto SEM method directly observes diatom morpho-logical characteristics through scanning electron microscopy,and the qualitative and quantitative analy-ses are intuitive and accurate.It has great advantages in the examination of difficult degradation samples.The PCR-CE method and qPCR method have a low sample demand(0.5 g),are easy to operate and have short detection time(4-7 h).They are easy to be applied in the grassroots depart-ments and are suitable for the rapid determination of drowned corpses in routin cases.The combina-tion of the two DNA methods with the MD-VF-Auto SEM method can increase the detection rate of plankton,ensuring the reliability of examination results.This combined use is of significant importance in the application of drowning diagnosis.
