To address the constrains imposed by insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and high glutathione (GSH) expression in tumor cells on the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) loaded with disulfiram (DSF) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) was synthesized via a one-pot approach. Subsequently, hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified cupric peroxide (CuO2) was in-situ grown on its surface through biomineralization to construct a multifunctional copper-based nanozyme ADZCH (3-AT/DSF@ZIF-8@CuO2-HA). This nanoplatform disrupts the intratumoral H2O2 homeostasis, depletes GSH, and synchronously delivers DSF and Cu2+ via cascade catalysis, thereby enhancing CDT and sensitizing tumors to DSF-based chemotherapy. The results of physicochemical characterization indicated that ADZCH presented a uniform core-shell structure with favorable dispersibility. Its particle size and Zeta potential were 196.5 nm and −19.5 mV, respectively. It possessed a microporous structure with a specific surface area of 81.8600 m2/g, and demonstrated efficient loading capacity for DSF and 3-AT, achieving drug loading efficiencies of 5.91% and 45.07%, respectively. Moreover, ADZCH can continuously and slowly release drugs in an acidic environment and maintain good stability under diverse physiological conditions. In vitro functional assays verified that ADZCH catalytically generated H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals while concurrently depleting GSH in a concentration- and incubation time-dependent manner. Cellular uptake experiments showed that HA modification significantly improved the uptake of nanoparticles by 4T1 cells. Cytotoxicity tests showed that 80 μg/mL ADZCH had a significant cytotoxic effect on 4T1 cells but no significant toxicity on L929 cells. DCFH-DA probe detection indicated that ADZCH could significantly induce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thereby enhancing CDT efficacy. Live/dead staining experiments showed that ADZCH efficiently induced apoptosis, with the proportion of dead cells reaching 94.74%, demonstrating its promising potential for anti-tumor applications.This study provides new research ideas and experimental basis for overcoming the tumor microenvironment barrier and enhancing the anti-tumor effect of CDT combined with chemotherapy.

Objective: To explore the temporal variation in physical health status among college students, analyze the correlation and dose response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical fitness indicators, so as to provide a scientific basis for physical health intervention among college students in universities. Methods: A total of 4 910 freshmen in the 2021 grade at Xi an Jiaotong University were selected. The BMI and changes in five physical fitness indicators (50 meter run, endurance run, standing long jump, sit and reach, and pull up or 1 minute sit up) were continuously assessed during follow up evaluations from 2021 to 2024. One way analysis of variance, generalized estimating equation (GEE), and other statistical methods were used to analyze the trends in temporal variation among the physical fitness indicators as well as the correlation characteristics and dose response relationship between BMI and physical fitness. Results: In 2021 the overweight and obesity rates among male freshmen were 20.36 % and 8.62%, respectively, and 12.91% and 2.91% among female freshman, respectively. From 2021 to 2024 the BMI of male and female students showed an upward trend with a significant increase( F =87.29,3.69,both P <0.05). The physical fitness indicators for both male and female students, including the 50 meter run, standing long jump, pull up and 1 minute sit up, first increased and then decreased, the endurance run performance decreased, and the sit and reach performance first decreased and then increased. The GEE model showed that BMI was negatively correlated with the performance of standing long jump, pullup/1 minute sit up, and sit and reach in both male and female students（ β =-1.72，-0.34，-0.15；-0.94，-0.26，-0.12）, and positively correlated with the time of 50 meter run and endurance run（ β =0.05，3.16；0.03，1.86）（all P ＜0.05）. The increase in BMI was associated with physical fitness decline in a non linear dose response relationship, while the sit and reach performance reached a peak at a BMI of approximately 22 kg/m 2, then decreased with the further increase in BMI. Conclusions A significant negative correlation is demonstrated between BMI and physical fitness indicators and male students are more sensitive to changes in BMI. College students should be guided to actively manage their weight and attach importance to physical exercise to improve their physical health.

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.

Objective To explore the relationships of vitamin D and oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)with infertility in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)based on restricted cubic spline models.Methods A total of 150 PCOS patients were selected as the study subjects and followed up for at least 1 year.They were divided into infertile group and non-infertile group according to whether they were infertile.A Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of infertility in PCOS patients.Furthermore,the relationships of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3[1,25-(OH)2D3]and ox-LDL with infertility in PCOS patients,as well as their interactive effects on infertility in PCOS patients were analyzed.A restricted cubic spline model was used to analyze the non-linear relationships between 1,25-(OH)2D3,ox-LDL,and infertility in PCOS patients.Results Among 150 PCOS patients,78 were not pregnant,resulting in an infertility rate of 52.00％(78/150).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the severity of PCOS,body mass index,age,1,25-(OH)2D3,and ox-LDL were all independent influencing factors for infertility in PCOS patients(P＜0.05).After adjusting for confounding factors,1,25-(OH)2D3 and ox-LDL were still associated with the risk of in-fertility in PCOS patients(P＜0.05).Restricted cubic spline model analysis revealed non-linear rela-tionships between 1,25-(OH)2D3,ox-LDL,and the risk of infertility in PCOS patients(P＜0.05).When the serum 1,25-(OH)2D3 level was＜35.70 nmol/L,it was negatively correlated with the risk of infertility in PCOS patients(P＜0.05).When the serum ox-LDL level was ≥381.00 μg/L,it was positively correlated with the risk of infertility in PCOS patients(P＜0.05).Interactive effect analysis showed that 1,25-(OH)2D3 and ox-LDL had antagonistic effects on infertility in PCOS pa-tients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Decreased serum 1,25-(OH)2D3 levels and increased ox-LDL levels in PCOS patients can significantly increase the risk of infertility.Moreover,there is a non-lin-ear dose-response relationship and an antagonistic interactive effect between them,suggesting that regulating vitamin D and oxidative stress levels may be an important strategy for improving the fertili-ty outcomes of PCOS patients.

Objective To explore the changes and influencing factors in patients' gastrointestinal symptoms and food tolerance before and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG),and to provide a reference for the development of targeted gastrointestinal symptoms management program.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 125 patients who underwent LSG in the bariatric and metabolic surgery department of a tertiary-level hospital in Xuzhou City from June to November 2023 for a prospective observational study.The general information questionnaire,food tolerance questionnaire and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale(GSRS)were used to investigate at preoperative,3 months after surgery,and 6 months after surgery.Two-factor repeated measures variance analysis and generalized linear mixed model(GLMM)was used to analyze the influencing factors of gastrointestinal symptoms.Results 116 valid questionnaires were collected,and the GSRS scores of LSG patients at 3 time points were 21.67±5.80,23.28±4.33,and 21.22±3.18 respectively;the incidence rates of food intolerance were 0,32.75％,and 28.45％respectively.The patients' symptoms of bowel sounds,dysphagia,constipation,and dry stool were worse after surgery than before surgery(all P＜0.05),and the symptoms of bad breath,diarrhea,loose stools,and the need to defecate immediately were alleviated compared with symptoms before surgery(all P＜0.05).GLMM results showed that short meal times,poor food tolerance,and high school/technical secondary school education were risk factors for increasing gastrointestinal symptoms(all P＜0.05).Conclusion LSG could increase the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms such as dysphagia,dyspepsia,constipation and food intolerance.Medical staff should pay attention to the assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms in LSG patients,especially for patients with short meal time and poor food tolerance,strengthen postoperative follow-up,build targeted treatment and care plan,and prevent and reduce such uncomfortable symptoms.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of multiple testicular Leydig cell tumors presenting with azoospermia.Methods Clinical data of a case of multiple testicular Leydig cell tumors presenting with azoospermia as well as re-lated article were reviewed.Results The patient visited the doctor due to"failure to conceive after 3 years of regular unprotect-ed sexual intercourse",and two consecutive semen analyses both indicated azoospermia.Testicular color Doppler ultrasound,en-hanced CT and pelvic MRI all suggested testicular space-occupying lesions.Preoperative evaluation suggested benign testicular tumors.Intraoperative frozen section pathology confirmed Leydig cell tumors.Microscopic testis-sparing tumor enucleation and microsurgical testicular sperm extraction(mTESE)were performed,with no sperm identified intraoperatively.The patient under-went successful tumor resection without complications.During the 12-month follow-up period,no tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed.Seminal volume increased compared to pre-operative levels,but azoospermia persisted.Conclusions Testicular Leydig cell tumor is a rare neoplasms originating from the gonadal stroma.Preoperative diagnosis is difficult.Radical orchiectomy is the primary treatment modality.However,testis-sparing tumor enucleation may be a safe and effective alternative for patients with bilateral testicular tumors.Tumor enucleation with testicular preservation is also a safe and effective choice for the patients with small-sized lesions or prepubertal status,whereas a long-term close follow-up is strictly implemented.

BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies have indicated that Angong Niuhuang Pills (ANP) reduce cerebral infarct and edema volumes. This study aimed to investigate whether ANP safely reduces cerebral infarct and edema volumes in patients with moderate to severe acute ischemic stroke. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial included patients with acute ischemic stroke with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores ranging from 10 to 20 in 17 centers in China between April 2021 and July 2022. Patients were allocated within 36 h after onset via block randomization to receive ANP or placebo (3 g/day for 5 days). The primary outcomes were changes in cerebral infarct and edema volumes after 14 days of treatment. The primary safety outcome was severe adverse events (SAEs) for 90 days. RESULTS: There were 57 and 60 patients finally included in the ANP and placebo groups, respectively for modified intention-to-treat analysis. The median age was 66.0 years, and the median NIHSS score at baseline was 12.0. The changes in cerebral infarct volume at day 14 were 0.3 mL and 0.4 mL in the ANP and placebo groups, respectively (median difference: -7.1 mL; interquartile range [IQR]: -18.3 to 2.3 mL, P = 0.30). The changes in cerebral edema volume of the ANP and placebo groups on day 14 were 11.4 mL and 4.0 mL, respectively ( median difference: 3.0 mL, IQR: -1.3 to 9.9 mL, P = 0.15). The rates of SAE within 90 days were similar in the ANP (3/57, 5%) and placebo (7/60, 12%) groups ( P = 0.36). Changes in serum mercury and arsenic concentrations were comparable. In patients with large artery atherosclerosis, ANP reduced the cerebral infarct volume at 14 days (median difference: -12.3 mL; IQR: -27.7 to -0.3 mL, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: ANP showed a similar safety profile to placebo and non-significant tendency to reduce cerebral infarct volume in patients with moderate-to-severe stroke. Further studies are warranted to assess the efficacy of ANP in reducing cerebral infarcts and improving clinical prognosis. TRAIL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov , No. NCT04475328.

Objective To analyze the serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D]levels and vitamin D nutri-tional status of 0-14 years old children in Hangzhou,and to provide scientific basis for the prevention of vita-min D deficiency.Methods A total of 26 225 healthy children aged 0 to 14 who were tested in Hangzhou Dian Medical Diagnosis Center from January 1,2021 to December 31,2023 were selected as the study objects.The 25(OH)D levels were detected by direct chemiluminescence method,and the 25(OH)D levels and vitamin D nutritional status of children with different genders,ages and seasons were analyzed and compared.Results The level of 25(OH)D in girls was slightly higher than that in boys,and the difference was statisti-cally significant(P＜0.05).With the increase of age,the level of 25(OH)D continued to decline,and the pro-portion of vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D insufficiency gradually increased.The level of 25(OH)D was the highest in children＜3 years old and the lowest in children 10-14 years old.There was statistical significance in the proportion of vitamin D nutritional status between boys and girls aged 10 to 14(P＜0.05).In the four seasons,children's 25(OH)D level is the highest in spring and the lowest in summer.The difference of 25(OH)D level and vitamin D nutritional status in different seasons was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The proportion of vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D insufficiency in winter was higher than that in other seasons,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The nutritional status of vitamin D in 0-14 year old children in Hangzhou is good,but the importance of vitamin D supplementation for children should not be ignored,and active publicity and education should be carried out to prevent vitamin D deficiency.

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model based on least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression for procalcitonin (PCT), milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) and CXC chemokine ligand 9 (CXCL9) in elderly patients with liver cancer after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) .Methods:A total of 150 elderly patients with liver cancer who underwent TACE treatment in Shishi City Hospital, Fujian Province and 910th Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Joint Logistic Support Force from August 2020 to August 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Patients with infection after TACE were included in the infected group and those without infection were included in the non-infected group according to whether the patients had infection during the postoperative hospitalization. The baseline data of patients were collected and compared. LASSO regression was used to screen the factors that may affect the infection after TACE in elderly patients with liver cancer and binary logistic regression analysis was performed. According to the results of regression analysis, a nomogram model was constructed based on the regression analysis results and the nomogram was internally validated using Bootstrap and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:There were 18 cases of infection in 150 elderly patients with liver cancer after TACE, with an incidence of 12.00%. There were statistically significant differences in focal rupture and bleeding ( χ2=5.92, P=0.015), ascites ( χ2=6.70, P=0.010), skin or mucosal damage ( χ2=6.67, P=0.010) between the infected group ( n=18) and the non-infected group ( n=132). The levels of serum PCT [ (1.17±0.32 ) μg/L vs. (0.91±0.14) μg/L], MFG-E8 [ (194.29±45.85) pg/ml vs. (158.76±28.63) pg/ml] and CXCL9 [ (948.49±52.38) pg/ml vs. (886.05±50.07) pg/ml] were higher than those in the non-infected group, with statistically significant differences ( t=4.13, P<0.001; t=4.55, P<0.001; t=4.94, P<0.001). Four factors related to infection after TACE intervention in patients with liver cancer were finally selected by LASSO regression model, skin or mucosal damage, PCT, MFG-E8, CXCL9 levels. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that skin or mucosal damage ( OR=13.48, 95% CI: 1.29-140.47, P=0.030), high levels of serum PCT ( OR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.05-1.22, P=0.001), MFG-E8 ( OR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07, P=0.003), CXCL9 ( OR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.08, P=0.001) were risk factors for infection after TACE in elderly patients with liver cancer. Based on skin or mucosa damage, PCT, MFG-E8 and CXCL9, a nomogram prediction model for postoperative infection in elderly patients with liver cancer after TACE intervention was established. Calibration curve showed that the C-index of postoperative infection predicted by the nomogram model in elderly patients with liver cancer after TACE intervention was 0.939, indicating the model had good discrimination. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) predicted by the nomogram model for infection after TACE intervention in elderly patients with liver cancer was 0.960 (95% CI: 0.926-0.995, P<0.001), which had certain predictive value. The specificity, sensitivity and Youden index were 0.864, 0.944 and 0.808, respectively. Conclusions:Skin or mucosal damage, high levels of serum PCT, CXCL9 and MFG-E8 are closely related to postoperative infection in elderly patients with liver cancer after TACE, and the prediction model constructed based on this has better predictive performance for postoperative infection.
