Endometriosis （EMT） is a common disease with frequent occurrence and difficult to be cured in modern clinical practice of obstetrics and gynaecology. It is characterized by progressively worsening dysmenorrhoea， pelvic mass， and infertility. The incidence of EMT is growing and increasingly younger patients are diagnosed with this disease， which poses a serious threat to the reproductive and psychological health of women of childbearing age and adolescent females. However， the pathogenesis of EMT is still not completely clear， and the disease has a long course. Therefore， developing new therapies is an urgent clinical problem to be solved. Great progress has been achieved in the treatment of EMT with traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， while the underlying mechanism remains in exploration. Programmed cell death （PCD） is a cell death mode mediated by a variety of bio-molecules with specific signaling cascades. The known PCD processes include apoptosis， pyroptosis， autophagy， ferroptosis， and cuproptosis， which all play a pivotal role in the development of EMT. Researchers have made achievements in the treatment of EMT with TCM， which regulates PCD via multiple pathways， routes， targets， and mechanisms. However， the progress in the regulation of PCD in the treatment of EMT with TCM remains to be reviewed. This paper reviews the research progress in the treatment of EMT with TCM from five PCD processes （apoptosis， pyroptosis， autophagy， ferroptosis， and cuproptosis）， with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of EMT.

Eight new diterpenoids, Isodons A-H (1-8), comprising seco-abietane and abietane-type structures, together with 13 known analogues (9-21), were isolated from Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Hara. The compounds (+)-3/(-)-3, (+)-4/(-)-4, and (+)-5/(-)-5 were identified as three enantiomeric pairs. The planar structures and absolute configurations of 1-8 were determined through high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), 1D & 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and X-ray diffraction crystallography. A cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) luciferase reporter assay revealed significant anti-cholestatic activities for compounds 1, (+)-4, 6, 7, 12-14, and 16. Additionally, compound 6 demonstrated anti-cholestatic effects through the farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-associated signaling pathways in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest potential applications for I. Lophanthoides in pharmaceutical development.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), characterized by impaired alveolarization and dysregulated vascularization, is a severe health burden for neonates worldwide. Hyperoxia induced acute lung injury is a major contributor to the progression and deterioration of BPD. An increasing number of animal studies have revealed that human umbilical cord blood derived mononuclear cells (hUCB-MNCs) infusion significantly attenuated the hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury through regeneration capacity. Currently, clinical application requires determination of the optimal dose and adjustment to good manufacturing practices. In this work, we comprehensively investigated the optimal dose of hUCB-MNCs in alleviating hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal C57BL6/J mice. Mice with hyperoxia exposure were implanted with low (3×104cells/kg, Dl), middle (3×105 cells/kg, Dm) and high (3×106 cells/kg, Dh) dose of hUCB-MNCs at postnatal day 7. Three weeks after graft, characteristics exhibited in lungs including morphology, function and cytokine expression were thoroughly analyzed. Implantation of hUCB-MNCs sharply reverted the impaired lung architecture induced by hyperoxia exposure dose dependently as evidenced by indicated parameters. Attenuated expression of IL-1β concomitant with enhanced expression of IL-10 and IL-2 were shown in Dh inoculated groups, where Dl and Dm failed to restore the level of IL-10, IL-1β and IL-2. Significantly re-escalated marker of angiogenic marker VEGFA, CD31 in lung tissue were uniquely observed in Dh group. Mechanistically, our study revealed the appropriate dose of intravenous infusion of hUCB-MNCs in alleviating hyperoxia-induced lung injury through modulating reactive oxygen species response in neonatal mice.Therefore, a tight control of hUCB-MNCs density or levels of CB-MNC related products is of great significance.

【Objective】 To investigate the anemia status of infants and toddlers aged 6 - 24 months in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, and to comprehensively evaluate the differences in feeding behaviors between anaemic and normal children through the infant and child feeding index (ICFI) and feeding knowledge scores, so as to provide reference for the guidance of infants and young children feeding in ethnic minority areas and the promotion of children′s growth and development. 【Methods】 Taking infants and young children aged 6 - 24 months in Linxia Prefecture as the study subjects, a multi-stage random sampling method was used to select children who met the requirements from 5 townships and 5 villages in 7 counties in 2019 and 2020.Periphral blood samples were collected to test the level of hemoglobin, so as to determine the anemia status.Meanwhile, physical examination was performed and a questionnaire survey of guardians was conducted to analyze the association betweenanaemia and feeding patterns 【Results】 A total of 3 901 infants and children were included in this study, of whom 729 (18.70%) were anaemic, with a mean ICFI score of 12.56±2.70 and a mean feeding knowledge score of 1.97±1.01.There was no statistically significant association of low feeding knowledge score and low ICFI with anaemia after adjusting for confounders (P>0.05), Unqualified meat addition in ICFI was a risk factor for anaemia (OR=1.355, P=0.042), while non-bottle feeding in the past 24 hours (OR=0.762, P=0.021), and breastfeeding in the past 24 hours of infants and toddlers aged 12 - 24 months (OR=0.228, P=0.018) were protective factor for anemia in infants and toddlers aged 12 - 24 months. 【Conclusions】 The average prevalence of anemia in infants and toddlers aged 6 - 24 months in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu Province is high, but the level of infant feeding and the level of feeding knowledge of caregivers are low.Early adherence to breastfeeding, timely addition of supplementary food, and more comsumpution of meat for children are conducive to preventing anemia.

With the increasing burden of hypertension in Chinese adults， the detection rate of hypertension among children and adolescents continued to rise， drawing increasing attention to the impact of pubertal timing on blood pressure. In recent years， many scholars have evaluated the association between pubertal development and blood pressure at different stages using various methods of assessing pubertal timing. To understand the correlation between pubertal timing and blood pressure in adolescents， this study reviews the associations between pubertal timing and blood pressure and their underlying mechanisms. The relationship between earlier female pubertal development and the risk of hypertension in adulthood shows positive， negative， and U-shaped correlations， with varying results. Earlier female pubertal development may lead to a higher detection rate of hypertension during adolescence. Most of the studies focus on the correlation between pubertal timing and adult blood pressure， with less research on adolescent blood pressure， indicating a need for further research to reveal underlying patterns.

Objective:To discuss the regulatory effect of serum and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase 1(SGK1)in the early development of fertilized eggs at G1 phase of the mice,and to clarify the related mechanism.Methods:Some female mice aged 4-6 weeks and weighed about 20 g,and several male mice aged over 8 weeks and weighed about 30 g were selected.The female mice were intraperitoneally injected with 10 IU of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin(PMSG),followed by 10 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin(HCG)after 48 h.After HCG injection,the female mice were caged overnight with the male mice at a ratio of 1∶1.The fertilized eggs at G1,S,G2,and M phases were collected at 12-21 h,21-26 h,26-28 h,and 28-30 h after injected with HCG,and their cellular morphology at different cell cycles were observed under light microscope.The mouse fertilized eggs at G1 phase after superovulation were collected,the mRNA was synthesized in vitro,and divided into no injection group,Tris-EDTA buffer injection group(TE injection group),and SGK1-mRNA injection group.The SGK1 antibodies were mixed with KSOM culture medium with the concentrations of 1∶25,1∶50,1∶100,1∶200,and 0 to culture the mouse fertilized eggs at G1 phase.Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of SGK1 protein in fertilized eggs of the mice in various groups and the dephosphorylation for phosphorylated SGK1-Threonine 256 site tyrosine15 site of cell diusion cyclin 2(Cdc2)(Cdc2-pTyr15)in the fertilized eggs of the mice in various groups and different concentrations of SGK1 antibody groups and the developmental states of the fertilized eggs in the fertilized eggs of the mice in various groups and different concentrations of SGK1 antibody groups were observed under phase contrast microscope;the expression levels of phosphorylated SGK1-Thr256(SGK1-pThr256)and Cdc2-pTyr15 proteins in fertilized eggs at different post-HCG injection times were detected by Western blotting method.Results:Compared with no injection and TE injection groups,the expression level of SGK1 protein in the cells in SGK1-mRNA injection group was significantly increased(P<0.01).27-28 h after injected with HCG,the phosphorylation signaling of Cdc2-pTyr15 in fertilized eggs of the mice in SGK1-mRNA injection group was gradually disappeared,and there was no phosphorylation signaling 29 h after injected with HCG.At 28-29 h after injected with HCG,the phosphorylation signaling of Cdc2-pTyr15 in fertilized eggs of the mice in no injection and TE injection groups gradually disappeared,completely disappeared at 30 h after injected with HCG.With the increasing of the concentration of SGK1 antibody,the disappearing time of the Cdc2-pTyr15 phosphorylation signaling was increased.At 27 h after injected with HCG,the fertilized eggs of the mice in SGK1-mRNA injection group was initiated cleavage;at 31 h after injected with HCG,nearly all the fertilized eggs turned into G2 phase;at 33 h after injected with HCG,all the fertilized eggs in 0 and 1∶200 SGK1 antibody groups underwent cleavage.However,with the increasing of SGK1 antibody concentration,the cleavage of the fertilized eggs in 1∶25,1∶50,and 1∶100 SGK1 antibody groups was gradually decreased,particularly at 1∶25 SGK1 antibody group.Compared with no injection and TE injection groups,the death rate of the fertilized eggs of the mice in SGK1-mRNA injection group was significantly decreased at 31 h after injected with HCG(P<0.05),and the cleavage rate was increased(P<0.05).With the increasing of the SGK1 antibody concentration,the death rates of the fertilized eggs in different concentrations of SGK1 antibody group were increased(P<0.05),with the extending of cleavage time was increased,and the cleavage rate of the fertilized eggs was decreased in a dose-dependent manner,and the cleavage rate of fertilized eggs in 1∶25 SGK1 antibody group was the lowest.The expression level of SGK1-pThr256 protein in fertilized eggs of the mice was gradually increased from 27 h after injected with HCG(P<0.05 or P<0.01)in a time-dependent manner;at 28 to 29 h after injected with HCG,the expression levels of Cdc2-Tyr15 protein were gradually decreased(P<0.05)in a time-dependent manner,and had completely disappeared at 30 h after injected with HCG.Conclusion:Both the over-expression and inhibition of SGK1 can affect the time for the fertilized eggs at G1 phase to entry into M phase,suggesting that SGK1 protein may be one of the regulatory factors in the early development of fertilized eggs at G1 phase of the mice,and it may regulate the development of the fertilized eggs at G1 phase through regulation of Cdc2.
