ObjectiveTo explore the effects of Yimei Baijiang formula （YMBJF） on colitis-associated colorectal cancer （CAC） and the nuclear factor kappaB （NF-κB） signaling pathway in mice. MethodsSixty male Balb/c mice of 4-6 weeks old were randomized into 6 groups： Normal， model， capecitabine （0.83 g·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （4.63， 9.25， 18.50 g·kg^-1， respectively） YMBJF. The mouse model of CAC was established by combining azoxymethane （AOM， 10 mg·kg^-1） and dextran sulfate sodium （DSS， 2%）. At the 5^th week after the start of modeling， the capecitabine group and the YMBJF groups were respectively administrated with the corresponding doses of drugs by gavage once a day for a total of 6 weeks. The body weights and general conditions of mice were measured and observed， and the disease activity index （DAI） was scored. The tumors in the colorectal tissue were counted， and the colorectal length was measured. The histological features of the colorectal tissue in each group of mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expression and localization of proliferating cell nuclear antigen-67 （Ki67）， proliferating cell nuclear antigen （PCNA）， and phosphorylated nuclear transcription factor-κB p65 （p-NF-κB p65） proteins were observed by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. The apoptosis of tumor cells was observed by the TUNEL assay. The mRNA levels of IL-6，IL-1β， TNF-α， nuclear transcription factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65）， NF-κB inhibitor alpha （IκBα）， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） in the colorectal tissue were quantified by Real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）. The protein levels of NF-κB p65， phosphorylated （p）-NF-κB p65， IκBα， p-IκBα， Bcl-2， and Bax in the colorectal tissue were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the model group， each YMBJF group showed decreases in DAI and tumor number （P0.01）， and the medium-dose and high-dose YMBJF groups showed increases in colorectal length （P0.05）. In addition， each YMBJF group showed alleviated colorectal mucosal pathological injury， declined levels of IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α in the serum （P0.05）， reduced expression of Ki67 and PCNA （P0.01）， and down-regulated expression of p-NF-κB p65 （P0.05）. The apoptosis in the medium-dose and high-dose YMBJF groups increased （P0.01）. Each YMBJF group and the capecitabine group showed down-regulated mRNA levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， IL-6， NF-κB p65， and Bcl-2 （P0.05） and up-regulated mRNA levels of IκBα and Bax （P0.05）. The mRNA level of IκBα was up-regulated， and that of Bcl-2 was down-regulated （P0.05） in the high-dose YMBJF group. The protein levels of p-IκBα and Bcl-2 were down-regulated （P0.05） in each YMBJF group. The protein levels of IκBα and Bax were up-regulated in the medium-dose and high-dose YMBJF groups （P0.01）， while those of NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 were down-regulated （P0.05）. ConclusionYMBJF can reduce the number of tumors， reduce the levels of inflammatory factors， promote tumor cell apoptosis， and inhibit tumor cell proliferation by regulating the direct effector molecules of the NF-κB signaling pathway in the mouse model of CRC.

Ferroptosis is a type of programmed cell death characterised by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species, which is closely related to intracellular metabolism of amino acids, lipids, and iron, and regulation of ferroptosis can intervene and treat certain diseases. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a chronic microvascular complication of diabetes.Although the exact pathogenesis of DKD is not clear, the results of the existing studies have proved that ferroptosis participates in the development of diabetic kidney injury, and plays an important role in kidney tubular injury in particular, and the inhibition of ferroptosis may be one of the directions for the treatment of DKD. In recent years, researchers have conducted a lot of studies on ferroptosis through animal models of DKD, but the specific pathogenesis and therapeutic effects regarding ferroptosis have not been fully revealed. This article introduces ferroptosis and its connection with apoptosis, autophagy and other forms of cell death, as well as the main mechanisms regulating the development of ferroptosis through systematic Xc-GSH-GPX4 axis, NADPH-FSP1-CoQ10 axis, GCH1-BH4- phospholipid axis and various regulatory factors, and provides an overview of its role in kidney tubular injury of DKD. Through the review of these contents, the possibility of ferroptosis as a therapeutic target for DKD is discussed, in order to provide reference for the basic research and clinical treatment of DKD.

Objective: To determine the internal relationships pf perceived discrimination and rejection sensitivity with social adjustment among college students with left behind experiences, so as to provide a reference for targeted prevention and intervention strategies for social adjustment issues in this population. Methods: A cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 999 college students from 3 universities in Qiqihar and Daqing, Heilongjiang Province. In October, 2024 (T1) and April 2025 (T2), the Discrimination Perception Questionnaire of college students, Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire, and the Chinese College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS) were used to assess students perceptions of discrimination, rejection sensitivity, and social adjustment levels. Independent sample t-test was used for group comparisons. Traditional cross sectional comparisons and cross sectional network analysis were performed using T1 data for the core sample of 1 080 students with left behind experiences (T1). Longitudinal network analysis was performed using paired data from T1 and T2 ( n =1 024) and a preliminary cross lagged model was used to determine the relationships between variables. Sensitivity analysis was performed by including followup data from students without left behind experiences to test the robustness of the results. Results: After gender adjustment, students with leftbehind experiences had higher scores on discrimination perception (13.14±0.16) and rejection sensitivity (92.82±0.73) compared to the non left behind group (10.25±0.12) (89.12±0.55) while the social adjustment score (194.94±1.05) was lower than the non left behind group (202.82±0.79). The differences were statistically significant ( F =212.03, 16.52, 36.02, all P <0.01). Cross sectional network analysis showed that the "anticipated rejection likelihood" was the core node ( EI=-2.27 , BEI =-2.37), playing a key role in inter network connections and overall dynamic regulation. Longitudinal network comparison revealed statistically significant changes in the intensity centrality of the nodes "individual discrimination perception" and "anticipated rejection likelihood" (both P <0.05), while other nodes remained relatively stable. Cross lagged network analysis showed that the predictive effects of T1 on the variables at T2 were not statistically significant (maximum | r |=0.05, FDR corrected P >0.50), but the binomial test indicated a systematic positive correlation trend between the variables (66.7% positive correlation, P =0.04). Sensitivity analysis showed that the bridge effect of the "anticipated rejection likelihood" and "learning adjustment" nodes at T2 was more significant in the left behind group compared to the non left behind group. Conclusion The social adjustment issues of college students with left behind experiences require focused attention on the negative regulatory effect of "rejection cognition" and the positive regulatory effect of "learning adaptation".

Objective To investigate the recurrence of immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)in children and to establish a predictive model.Methods A total of 288 children with ITP admitted to Children's Hospital of Wujiang District and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University from January 2018 to April 2022 were collected.The factors potentially related to the recurrence of ITP in children were screened.The children in the model group were divided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of recurrence and the indicators of the 2 groups were compared.After screening the potential influencing factors by LASSO regression and the independent influencing factors of relapse in children with ITP patients by Logstic regression analysis,we constructed a column-line graph model by using R language and validated it.Results A total of 37(18.47%)of 201 patients in the model group experienced relapse.The age,blood type,duration of disease before treatment,antecedent infections,bleeding,initial treatment regimen,antinuclear antibody titer,initial count and mean platelet volume,initial platelet distri-bution width,initial peripheral blood lymphocyte count and time length to effective platelet count after treatment were found in the recurrence group versus the non-recurrence group The difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis performed on the basis of LASSO regression showed that blood type,duration of illness before treatment,antecedent infection,initial treatment regimen,ini-tial peripheral blood lymphocyte count,and time to effective platelet count after treatment were independent influ-ences on the conversion of cough variant asthma to classic asthma in children.Based on the results of the multifac-torial analysis,a column chart model for predicting ITP recurrence in children was developed in R.The results of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis showed that the area under curve(AUC)of the column chart model for predicting ITP recurrence in children in the modeling group was 0.867[95%CI(0.796,0.938)]with a sensitivity of 84.2%and a specificity of 73.1%,and that in the validation group,the AUC was 0.838[95%CI(0.765),0.911]with a sensitivity of 82.3%and a specificity of 78.4%,0.911)]sensitivity was 82.3%and specificity was 78.4%.The Bootstrap method was used to repeat the sampling 1000 times,and the validation group was used for validation.The results of the calibration curve showed that the prediction curves of the model group and the validation group were basically fitted with the standard curve,suggesting that the model prediction accuracy was high.The results of the decision curve analysis of the model group showed that the net benefit rate of patients was greater than zero when the probability threshold of the column line graph model of pre-dicting ITP recurrence in children was 0.15-0.75.Conclusions ITP recurrence in children is mainly affected by the patient's age,blood type,and pre-treatment course of the disease,and the column-line diagram model based on these factors has a high accuracy and differentiation for ITP recurrence in parenting children.

Objective To observe the value of B1 corrected T1 mapping for distinguishing pathological types and differentiation degrees of lung cancers.Methods A total of 74 lesions in 65 patients with lung cancers were prospectively enrolled,including 49 poorly differentiated lesions and 25 moderately or well differentiated ones,i.e.42 adenocarcinomas,14 squamous cell carcinomas and 18 small cell lung cancers(all poorly differentiated).B1 corrected T1 mapping was performed,ROI(ROI1 and ROI2)were delineated using 2 methods,and T1 values of different pathological types and differentiation degrees lung cancers were compared.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn,and the areas under the curve(AUC)were calculated.Results Significant differences of T1 values were found among different pathological types of lung cancer(all P＜0.05),as well as between small cell lung cancer and the rest 2 types of lung cancer(both P＜0.05).There were significant differences of T1 values between poorly differentiated and moderately well differentiated lung cancer(squamous cell carcinoma+adenocarcinoma)(both P＜0.05).Taken ROI1 T1 value=1 524.21 ms as the cut-off value,the AUC of T1 value for distinguishing poorly differentiated and moderately well differentiated lung cancer(squamous cell carcinoma+adenocarcinoma)was 0.698,with sensitivity of 64.50％and specificity of 76.00％.Taken ROI2 T1 value=1 630.68 ms as the cut-off value,the AUC of T1 value was 0.676,with sensitivity of 54.80％and specificity of 80.00％.Conclusion B1 corrected T1 mapping was helpful for distinguishing pathological types and differentiation degrees of lung cancers.

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of different treatment modalities for moderate to severe Henoch- Schönlein purpura nephritis （HSPN）. METHODS Literature searches were conducted in the CNKI， VIP， Wanfang Data， SinoMed， PubMed， OVID， Web of Science， Embase， and the Cochrane Library to collect randomized controlled trials （RCTs） and cohort studies on the treatment of moderate to severe HSPN with 12 intervention measures： monotherapy with glucocorticoid （GC）， as well as cyclophosphamide， mycophenolate mofetil （MMF）， Tripterygium wilfordii multiglucoside （TWM）， leflunomide， mizoribine， tacrolimus， cyclosporin A， hemoperfusion， tonsillectomy combined with GC， and double filtration plasmapheresis （DFPP） combined with GC and cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil. The search period was from the inception of the databases to March 2024. After literature screening， data extraction， and quality assessment， a network meta- analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 software. RESULTS A total of 28 articles were included， with 14 RCTs and 14 cohort studies， involving 1 746 patients. The network meta-analysis results showed the combination of tacrolimus and GC had the highest probability of being the best in overall remission rate， followed by the combination of TWM and GC， and DFPP combined with GC and MMF. The combination of leflunomide and GC had the highest probability of being the best in complete remission rate， followed by the combination of mizoribine and GC， and DFPP combined with GC and cyclophosphamide. The combination of mizoribine and GC had the highest probability of being the best in terms of reducing 24-hour urinary protein quantification， followed by DFPP combined with GC and MMF， and the combination of leflunomide and GC. Moreover， the combination of tacrolimus and GC had the highest probability of being the best in safety， followed by the combination of cyclosporin A and GC， and the combination of leflunomide and GC. CONCLUSIONS Compared to other treatment methods， the combination therapy of tacrolimus and GC shows better efficacy and safety in the treatment of moderate to severe HSPN.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of lymphocyte subpopulations combined with chemokines in children with immunologic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods 132 children with proposed diagnosis of ITP were collected,and the children were divided into ITP and non-ITP groups according to the diagnostic results of ITP-related clinical diagnostic criteria.6 ml of peripheral venous blood was drawn,the levels of CD4+CD8+and CD3+were detected using flow cytometry,and the levels of chemokine(C-C motif)ligand 5(CCL5),Recombi-nant Chemokine(C-X-C Motif)Ligand 1(CXCL11),and monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1)were detec-ted using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,the blood platelet(PLT)was measured by a fully automated cell an-alyzer.The children were divided into ITP and non-ITP groups according to the clinical diagnostic criteria related to ITP.The lymphocyte subpopulations and chemokine levels of the two groups of children were compared,and the correlation between lymphocyte subpopulations and chemokine levels and PLT was analyzed.The ROC method was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of individual and combined detection of each indicator for ITP.Results The levels of CD4+and CD3+in the ITP group were lower than those in the non ITP group(P<0.05),while the levels of CD8+were higher than those in the non ITP group(P<0.05).The levels of CCL5,CXCL11,and MCP-1 in the ITP group were higher than those in the non ITP group(P<0.05).The correlation analysis results showed that CD4+,CD3+and platelet count were positively correlated in the ITP group(P<0.05),while CD8+,CCL5,CXCL11,MCP-1 were negatively correlated with PLT(P<0.05).The ROC analysis results showed that the cut-off values of CD4+,CD8+,CD3+,CCL5,CXCL11,and MCP-1 for the diagnosis of ITP in children were 27.13%,24.02%,59.88%,41.02 ng/L,30.18 ng/L,and 188.27 ng/L,respectively.The AUC values were 0.893,0.880,0.629,0.801,0.892,and 0.751,respectively,The AUC of the parallel diagnosis(meaning that one or more of CD4+,CD3+was below the cut-off value and/or one or more of CD8+,CCL5,CXCL11,MCP-1 was above the cut-off value at the time of parallel testing)was 0.967,indicating that one or more of them was lower than the cut off value and/or one or more of them was higher than the cut off value when tested separately.Its diag-nostic efficacy was higher than that of each indicator tested separately(P<0.05).Conclusion There are signifi-cant differences in lymphocyte subpopulations and chemokines between pediatric ITP patients and non-ITP patients.CD4+,CD8+,CD3+,CCL5,CXCL11,and MCP-1 can be used for the diagnosis of pediatric ITP.Combined de-tection of various indicators can improve detection efficiency.
