OBJECTIVE To investigate the reference range of tacrolimus blood concentration in children with Henoch- Schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) and analyze the factors affecting the blood concentration, in order to provide a reference for rational use of the drug in clinic. METHODS Clinical data of children with HSPN who were treated with tacrolimus and regularly monitored for blood concentration at the Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University were retrospectively collected from January 2018 to January 2024. The threshold of effective concentration of tacrolimus was determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve of the subjects. The clinical efficacy of tacrolimus in different concentrations and the incidence of adverse drug reaction (ADR) were compared to determine the reference range of tacrolimus blood concentration. The factors influencing the blood concentration were analyzed by one-way and multiple linear regression. RESULTS A total of 97 pediatric patients were included, and their tacrolimus blood concentrations were monitored 203 times, the blood concentration was 4.26 (2.47, 6.34) ng/mL. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the subjects was 0.723 (95%CI:0.596-0.850, P< 0.01), which corresponded to an effective threshold of 2.19 ng/mL. The clinical efficacy in pediatric patients with tacrolimus blood concentrations of 3-<5 ng/mL, 5-<10 ng/mL, and ≥10 ng/mL was significantly higher than that of children with concentrations <3 ng/mL (P<0.05). Additionally, the overall incidence of ADR in children with concentrations of 5-<10 ng/mL and ≥10 ng/mL was significantly higher than that in children with concentrations <3 ng/mL and 3-<5 ng/mL (P<0.05). The impact of body mass index and CYP3A5 genotype on the blood concentration of tacrolimus was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS When using tacrolimus to treat HSPN in children clinically, the reference range for blood concentration is 3 to 5 ng/mL; body mass index and CYP3A5 genotype are factors that influence the blood concentration of tacrolimus.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):73-77
Objective:
To explore the impact of sleep quality, experience of childhood maltreatment, and their interaction on depressive symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide the reference for early intervention of depressive symptoms among middle school students.
Methods:
From September to December 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 231 students from two secondary schools in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province by a convenient sampling method. The survey included general demographic information, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Short Version of Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. The Chi square test was used to analyze the differences in depressive symptom, sleep quality and childhood maltreatment among students with different demographic characteristics. Correlation analysis was conducted using Logistic regression, and interaction analysis was performed by both additive and multiplicative interaction models.
Results:
The detection rate of depressive symptoms among middle school students was 22.7%, and the rate for high school students (35.2%) was significantly higher than that for middle school students (17.0%) ( χ 2=50.35, P <0.01). The detection rates of depressive symptoms among middle school students with a history of childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality were 45.8% and 44.0%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to students without a history of childhood maltreatment, students with a history of childhood maltreatment had a higher risk of depressive symptoms ( OR =4.49,95% CI =3.31~ 6.09 , P <0.01);students with poor sleep quality had a higher risk of depressive symptoms than students with good sleep quality ( OR = 5.99,95% CI =4.37~8.22, P <0.01).The interaction results showed that the presence of childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality had an additive interaction on the occurrence of depression in middle school students. Compared with students without childhood maltreatment and having good sleep quality, students with childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality had a 22.49 times higher risk of developing depression ( OR =22.49,95% CI =14.22~35.59, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Depressive symptoms among middle school students are associated with childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality, and there is an additive interaction between childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality on the impact of depressive symptoms.

BACKGROUND:Pinoresinol diglucoside promotes bone formation and bone matrix synthesis and accelerates bone tissue repair.However,the mechanism of action and effects of this compound in osteoblasts need to be further explored. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and mechanism of action of pinoresinol diglucoside on dexamethasone-treated osteoblasts based on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. METHODS:Different concentrations of dexamethasone groups and pinoresinol diglucoside groups were set to treat osteoblasts for 24 hours,and the optimal intervention concentrations were screened.Osteoblasts were treated with dexamethasone,pinoresinol diglucoside and inhibitor XAV-939.Then,control group,dexamethasone group,XVA-939 group,pinoresinol diglucoside group,pinoresinol diglucoside+XVA-939 group were set up.Cell counting kit-8 assay was used to detect cell activity.Alkaline phosphatase activity and caspase3/7 enzyme activity in cells were detected.Annexin V/PI staining and EdU assay were used to detect cell apoptosis and proliferation.Real-time qPCR and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of Wnt3a,β-catenin,c-myc,osteocalcin,and type I collagen,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After dexamethasone and pinoresinol diglucoside intervened in osteoblasts for 24 hours,10 μmol/L dexamethasone was found to be the optimal intervention concentration for cell inhibition,and cell proliferation was most pronounced at a concentration of pinoresinol diglucoside of 100 μmol/L.Compared with the dexamethasone group,alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly enhanced(P<0.05)and caspase3/7 enzyme activity was significantly reduced(P<0.05)in the pinoresinol diglucoside group.Annexin V/PI staining and cell proliferation assay by EdU method showed that pinoresinol diglucoside inhibited apoptosis and promoted proliferation of osteoblasts after dexamethasone intervention.The mRNA and protein expression levels of Wnt3a,β-catenin,c-myc,osteocalcin,and type I collagen were significantly higher in the pinoresinol diglucoside group and pinoresinol diglucoside+XVA-939 group compared with the dexamethasone and XVA-939 groups(P<0.05).To conclude,pinoresinol diglucoside can inhibit osteoblast apoptosis after dexamethasone intervention,protect osteoblast activity and promote osteoblast proliferation by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,which may play a role in delaying steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

[Objective] To compare the clinical efficacy of super pulse thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (SPThuLEP) with "open tunnel" and transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in order to provide reference for the treatment options of BPH. [Methods] The clinical data of 112 BPH patients treated in our hospital during Jan.2023 and Jul.2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 65 treated with SPThuLEP with "open tunnel" and 57 with HoLEP.The operation time, postoperative hemoglobin decrease, postoperative bladder irrigation, catheter indwelling time, hospitalization time and complications were compared between the two groups.The changes of maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score (QoL), postvoid residual (PVR) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were compared between the two groups before operation and one month after operation. [Results] All operations were successful without conversion to open or transurethral plasmakinetic resection.The postoperative decrease of hemoglobin in SPThuLEP group was lower than that in HoLEP group [(13.12±6.72) g/L vs. (21.02±6.51) g/L], with statistical difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the operation time [(63.35±15.73) min vs.(61.02±17.55) min], postoperative bladder irrigation time [(1.07±0.45) d vs. (1.06±0.36) d], catheter indwelling time [(2.98±0.56) d vs. (3.01±0.63) d] and hospitalization time [(3.63±0.61) d vs.(3.79±0.76) d] between the two groups (P>0.05). No blood transfusion, secondary bleeding or unplanned hospitalization occurred, and there were no serious complications such as transurethral electroresection syndrome (TURS), urethral stricture and urinary incontinence.One month after operation, the Qmax, IPSS, QoL, PVR and PSA of the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before operation (P<0.05), but with no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). [Conclusion] SPThuLEP with "open tunnel" has comparable efficacy as HoLEP in the treatment of BPH.With advantages of small amount of bleeding and high safety, this minimally invasive technique can be widely popularized in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Yigan Fupi Prescription (抑肝扶脾方, YFP) in treating diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) by investigating the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. MethodsSixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, YFP low-, medium-, and high-dose group, and pinaverium bromide group, with 10 rats in each group. All groups but the control group, were subjected to 21 days of tail-clamping stimulation and 14 days of senna leaf gavage to establish a liver stagnation and spleen deficiency-type IBS-D rat model. After successful modeling, the YFP low-, medium-, and high-dose group were administered 0.96, 1.93, and 3.87 g/(kg·d) of the prescription, respectively. The pinaverium bromide group was given 13.5 mg/(kg·d), while the control and model groups were given 10 ml/(kg·d) distilled water. All groups were administered once daily for 14 consecutive days. General conditions of the rats were recorded during the experiment, and after modeling and drug administration, body weight, Bristol stool score, abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) score, and histo pathology of colon tissue were observed under HE staining. ELISA was used to detect serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Immunofluorescence was employed to detect the levels of AKT/mTOR pathway-related proteins including phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT)/AKT and phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR)/mTOR in the colon tissue. Western Blotting was used to detect the levels of autophagy-related proteins, including UNC-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1), Beclin1 and LC3, and tight junction proteins including Occludin and ZO-1 in the colon tissue. ResultsAfter modeling, compared to the control group, the body weight of rats in the other groups decreased, and Bristol stool scores, as well as AWR scores under 20, 40, 60, and 80 mmHg increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After drug administration, compared to the control group, the model group showed reduced body weight, decreased ULK1, Beclin1, LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ, Occludin, and ZO-1 protein levels in the colon tissue (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and increased Bristol stool scores, AWR scores, serum TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels, as well as p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Pathological results showed a significant reduction in goblet cells in the upper part of the glandular layer of the colon, with mild inflammatory cell infiltration. The submucosal collagen fibers were dissolved, with unclear boundaries, pale staining, and microvascular congestion and dilation. Compared with the model group, the YFP low-, medium-, and high-dose group and the pinaverium bromide group showed increased body weight, Beclin1, Occludin, and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ protein levels (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and decreased Bristol stool scores, AWR scores under 40, 60, and 80 mmHg, serum IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α levels, and p-AKT/AKT, p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The pathological morphology of the rats in the YFP groups and pinaverium bromide group showed varying degrees of improvement. Compared with the pinaverium bromide group, the YFP low- and medium-dose group showed increased AWR scores under 20, 40, and 60 mmHg (P<0.05). The YFP low-dose group had reduced TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels, and increased p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels occured in all YFP groups (P<0.05). Compared with the YFP low-dose group, the YFP high-dose group and pinaverium bromide group showed decreased AWR scores under different pressure levels and reduced p-AKT/AKT protein relative expression levels, while the YFP medium- and high-dose group had elevated serum TNF-α, IL-1β levels and reduced p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels (P<0.05). ConclusionYFP can effectively improve the pathological injury of colon tissue in IBS-D model rats with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency, reduce Bristol stool and AWR scores, and its mechanism may be related to reducing level of inflammatory factors and inhibiting AKT/mTOR pathway-related proteins in colon tissue, thereby enhancing the expression of autophagy-related proteins in the colon tissue.

Objective To investigate the role and related mechanisms of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). Methods Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs were isolated and cultured for the extraction and identification of exosomes. Eighteen male SD rats were randomly divided into Control group, RILI group and RILI + exosomes group (EXO group), with 6 rats in each group. Except for Control group, the other groups received a single X-ray dose of 30 Gy to the right lung. Immediately after irradiation, the EXO group was administered 2 × 109 exosomes/kg via tail vein injection. Control group and RILI group were given the same volume of normal saline. Eight weeks post-irradiation, the rats were sacrificed, lung tissue and peripheral venous blood were collected. HE and Masson staining were employed to observe the pathological and fibrotic changes of lung tissue. The levels of serum inflammatory factors IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-10 were detected by ELISA. RT-qPCR was used to assess the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, Cdh1, and Col1a1 in lung tissue. The expression levels of Vimentin and TGF-β1 in lung tissue were measured by immunohistochemical staining. The expression levels of AMPK, p-AMPK, and TGF-β1 in lung tissue were detected by Western blot. Results MSC-derived exosomes were successfully extracted and identified. Compared with RILI group, EXO group showed significantly reduced pathological changes of lung inflammation and collagen deposition. The levels of serum inflammatory factors IL-6, INF-γ, and TNF-α were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was significantly increased (P < 0.05). The mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and Col1a1 in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and the mRNA level of Cdh1 was significantly increased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The levels of Vimentin and TGF-β1 in lung tissue were significantly reduced, while p-AMPK level was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05). Conclusion Exosomes derived from MSCs may alleviate RILI by inhibiting inflammatory responses and regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition mediated by AMPK/TGF-β1 signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and surgical outcomes of adrenal hemolymphangioma,so as to enhance the understanding of this disease. Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 8 patients with adrenal hemolymphangioma admitted to the Department of Urology of our hospital during Jan.2013 and Dec.2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and relevant literature was reviewed. Results: The patients included 5 males and 3 female,median age 54(25-75) years.Adrenal hemolymphangioma was detected in all patients in physical examinations without obvious symptoms.And 4 of the patients had a history of hypertension.Adrenal function test results showed no abnormalities.A total of 9 tumors were identified by imaging examination,including 1 unilateral multiple and 7 unilateral solitary tumors,with a median diameter of 3.6(1.0-5.4) cm.Posterior laparoscopic adrenal tumor resection was performed in 7 cases and robot-assisted laparoscopic adrenal tumor resection in 1 case;all of the tumors were completely removed.The median operation time was 77(53-115) min,median intraoperative blood loss 7.5(2.0-20.0) mL,and median postoperative hospital stay 4(1-7) d.Postoperative pathology showed interwoven deformed and dilated blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the cystic tumors,with a large amount of lymphoid fluid,lymphocytes and red blood cells.Chronic lymphocyte infiltration was visible between the tube walls.The cystic cavity was partially connected,with flat endothelial cells lining.The pathological diagnosis was adrenal hemolymphangioma.During the median follow-up of 53.5(12.0-106.8) months,all patients recovered well,with stable blood pressure and no tumor recurrence or metastasis. Conclusion: Adrenal hemolymphangioma has no specific clinical symptoms.As adrenal functional tests show no obvious abnormalities,the diagnosis depends on pathological examinations.Popsterior laparoscopic or robot-assisted laparoscopic resection has good efficacy and prognosis.
