Growth and development-related diseases result from the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. The collaboration between healthcare, sports, and education sectors integrates multidisciplinary resources and strengths to promote standardized diagnostic and therapeutic processes. This approach establishes a comprehensive closed-loop system encompassing early screening and referral, diagnosis and comprehensive evaluation, intervention and support plan formulation, as well as long-term management andoutcome assessment. It provides systematic scientific support for the healthy growth of children and adolescents, shifting disease intervention to the subclinical stage. Against the backdrop of societal informatization and intelligent development, this diagnostic and therapeutic model not only safeguards the holistic health of children and adolescents but also offers novel perspectives and feasible pathways for managing growth and development-related diseases. The implementation of this systematic diagnostic and therapeutic paradigm presents an innovative solution with Chinese characteristics for addressing such conditions, while injecting new vitality into the advancement of national health initiatives.

ObjectiveTo systematically sort out the knowledge framework and conceptual logic relationship of "disease-syndrome-treatment-prescription-medicine" in the existing literature on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN), to construct of the knowledge map of TCM treatment of DPN, and to promote the explicitation of the implicit knowledge in the literature on the treatment of DPN with TCM. MethodTaking the literature of China National Knowledge Infrastructure about TCM treatment of DPN as the main data source, TCM-related concepts and entities were constructed by manual citation, and the corresponding relationships between the entities were established. Structured data were formed by processing with Python 3.7, and the knowledge graph was constructed based on Neo4j 3.5.34 graph database. ResultThe resulting knowledge graph with TCM diagnosis and treatment logic, defined 12 node labels such as prescriptions, Chinese medicines and syndrome types at the schema layer, as well as 4 types of relationships, such as inclusion, correspondence, selection and composition. It could support the query and discovery of nodes(syndrome elements, syndrome types and treatment methods), as well as the relationship between each node. ConclusionBased on the literature data, this study constructed a knowledge map for TCM treatment of DPN, which brought together various methods of TCM treatment of DPN, including internal and external treatment. The whole chain knowledge structure of syndrome differentiation and classification for DPN treatment is formed from syndrome element analysis, syndrome type composition to treatment method selection, which can provide new ideas and methods for literature data to serve clinical and scientific research work, as well as reference for visualization of TCM literature knowledge, intellectualization of TCM knowledge services and the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment.

With increasing aging, cognitive impairment in elderly coronary heart disease is a "disease group" with high morbidity and mortality in the senior population, which seriously affects the health and quality of life of the elderly. This paper takes the "cardio-cerebral circuit" as the basis of co-morbidity, and under the guidance of the cardio-cerebral homoeopathy, based on the temporal sequential characteristics of the evolution of the disease mechanism of cognitive impairment in elderly coronary heart disease, we construct a “disease-syndrome-phase” prevention and treatment strategy based on the time-sequential characteristics of the pathogenesis of the disease mechanism of "deficiency-blood stasis-toxicity", from the perspective of pathogenicity of the disease mechanism in time-phase and the spatial multidimensionality of cardio-cerebral homoeopathy. The prevention and treatment strategy of the "disease-syndrome-phase" is constructed from the perspective of the temporal phase of the disease mechanism and the multidimensionality of the space of cardio-cerebral homoeopathy. In the earlier stage, "kidney deficiency and brain emptiness are the foundation", in the attack stage, "turbid stasis and brain injury are the key", and in the progression stage, "toxicity and brain damage are the changes". It is emphasized that replenishing the deficiency and benefiting the kidneys to restore the smooth flow of collaterals, eliminating blood stasis and removing turbidity to promote the enrichment of blood, and detoxifying and clearing the heart to tranquilize the spirit and benefit the brain, the spatiotemporal thinking of cognitive impairment of coronary heart disease in the elderly is initially constructed with the spatial dimension to identify the location of the disease, and the temporal dimension to determine the stage of the disease, which will provide a theoretical basis for the spatiotemporal diagnostic and treatments for the heart and brain co-morbidities of TCM.

Objective:To construct prediction models of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) using machine learning (ML) methods.Methods:From January 2015 to October 2021, neonates with suspected NEC symptoms receiving abdominal ultrasound examinations in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The neonates were assigned into NEC group (modified Bell's staging≥Ⅱ) and non-NEC group for diagnostic prediction analysis (dataset 1). The NEC group was subgrouped into surgical NEC group (staging≥Ⅲ) and conservative NEC group for severity analysis (dataset 2). Feature selection algorithms including extremely randomized trees, elastic net and recursive feature elimination were used to screen all variables. The diagnostic and severity prediction models for NEC were established using logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), random forest, light gradient boosting machine and other ML methods. The performances of different models were evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value.Results:A total of 536 neonates were enrolled, including 234 in the NEC group and 302 in the non-NEC group (dataset 1).70 were in the surgical NEC group and 164 in the conservative NEC group (dataset 2). The variables selected by extremely randomized trees showed the best predictive performance in two datasets. For diagnostic prediction models, the SVM model had the best predictive performance, with AUC of 0.932 (95% CI 0.891-0.973) and accuracy of 0.844 (95% CI 0.793-0.895). A total of 11 predictive variables were determined, including portal venous gas, intestinal dilation, neutrophil percentage and absolute monocyte count at the onset of illness. For NEC severity prediction models, the SVM model showed the best predictive performance, with AUC of 0.835 (95% CI 0.737-0.933) and accuracy of 0.787 (95% CI 0.703-0.871). A total of 25 predictive variables were identified, including age of onset, C-reactive protein and absolute neutrophil count at clincial onset. Conclusions:NEC prediction model established using feature selection algorithm and SVM classification model in ML is helpful for the diagnosis of NEC and grading of disease severity.

Objective To investigate the effect of Kaixinsan(KXS,a traditional Chinese medicine formula)for alleviating adriamycin-induced depression-like behaviors in mice bearing breast cancer xenografts and explore the pharmacological mechanism.Methods Forty female BALB/c mice were randomized equally into control group,model group,and low-and high-dose KXS treatment groups,and in the latter 3 groups,mouse models bearing orthotopic breast cancer 4T1 cell xenografts were established and treated with adriamycin along with saline or KXS via gavage.Depression-like behaviors of the mice were assessed using open field test and elevated plus-maze test,and the changes in serum levels of depression-related factors were examined.RNA-seq analysis and transmission electron microscopy were used and ferroptosis-related factors were detected to explore the mechanisms of adriamycin-induced depression and the therapeutic mechanism of KXS.The results were verified in SH-SY5Y cells using ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 as the positive control.Results KXS significantly alleviated depression-like behaviors and depression-related serological changes induced by adriamycin in the mouse models.RNA-seq results suggested that KXS alleviated chemotherapy-induced depression by regulating oxidative stress,lipid metabolism and iron ion binding in the prefrontal cortex.Pathological analysis and detection of ferroptosis-related factors showed that KXS significantly reduced ferroptosis in the prefrontal cortex of adriamycin-treated mice.In SH-SY5Y cells,both KXS-medicated serum and the ferroptosis inhibitor were capable of attenuating adriamycin-induced cell ferroptosis.Conclusion KXS alleviates adriamycin-induced depression-like behaviors in mice by reducing ferroptosis in the prefrontal cortex of breast cancer-bearing mice.

Objectives:To investigate the application value of laparoscopic double stapler firings and double stapling technique combined with rectal eversion and total extra-abdominal resection (LDER) in the anal preservation treatment of low rectal cancer.Methods:Inclusion criteria: (1) age was 18-70; (2) the distance of the lower tumor edge from the anal verge was 4-5 cm; (3) primary tumor with a diameter ≤3 cm; (4) preoperative staging of T1~2N1~2M0; (5) "difficult pelvis", defined as ischial tuberosity diameter<10 cm or body mass index>25 kg/m 2; (6) patients with strong intention for sphincter preservation; (7) no preoperative treatment (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or immunotherapy); (8) no lateral lymph node enlargement; (9) no previous anorectal surgery; (10) patients with good basic condition who could tolerate surgery. Exclusion criteria: (1) previously suffered from malignant tumors of the digestive tract or currently suffering from malignant tumors out of the digestive tract; (2) patients with preoperative anal dysfunction (Wexner score ≥ 10), or fecal incontinence. The specific surgical steps are as follows: the distal end of the rectum was dissected to the level of the interspace between internal and external sphincters of anal canal. Five centimeters proximal to the tumor, the mesorectum was ligated, and a liner stapler was used to transect the rectum. The distal rectum with the tumor were then everted and extracted through the anus. The rectum was transected 0.5-1.0 cm distal to the tumor with a linear stapler. Full thickness suture was used to reinforce the stump of the rectum, which was then brought back into the pelvic cavity. Finally, an end-to-end anastomosis between the colon and the rectum was performed. A retrospective descriptive study was performed of the clinical and pathological data of 12 patients with T1-T2 stage low rectal cancer treated with LDER at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. Results:All 12 patients successfully completed LDER with sphincter preservation, without conversion to open surgery or changes in surgical approach. The median surgical time was 272 (155-320) minutes, with a median bleeding volume of 100 (50-200) mL. No protective stoma was performed, and all patients received R0 resection. The average hospital stay was 9 (7-15) days. There were no postoperative anastomotic leakage or perioperative deaths. All 12 patients received postoperative follow-up, with a median follow-up of 12 months (6-36 months) and a Wexner score of 8 (5-14) at 6 months postoperatively. There was no tumor recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up period.Conclusions:LDER is safe and effective for the treatment of low rectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the action targets and mechanism of celastrol in alleviating liver inflammatory injuries using network pharmacology; To verify the key targets through liver ischemia-reperfusion injury inducing inflammation mouse model.Methods:The targets of celastrol were integrated by searching SymMap, BATMAN-TCM, TCMSP, HIT 2.0, LigTMap, SEA, SwissTarget, Super-PRED, STITCH databases. The molecular targets of hepatic inflammatory injuries were investigated by GeneCards and DisGeNET databases. The intersection of drug targets and disease targets was obtained by Venn diagram to obtain the possible targets of celastrol in alleviating hepatic inflammatory diseases. Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used to analyze the key targets of protein interaction (PPI) networks based on STRING database, and enrichment analysis was conducted through DAVID database. Based on the key targets, the ceRNA network was mapped by retrieving the starBase database. Molecular docking was used to evaluated the binding of celastrol with the key target proteins. The mice were divided into sham-operation solvent group, sham- operation medication group, model group, and Tripterygium wilfordii extract low- (0.1 mg/kg), medium- (0.3 mg/kg), and high- (1 mg/kg) dosage groups according to body weight, with 3-4 mice in each group. After 7 days of corresponding drug intervention, except for the sham-operation solvent group and sham-operation medication group, other groups were prepared with ischemia-reperfusion induced liver inflammation mouse models. The serum transaminase levels in mice were detected; the pathological morphology of mouse liver tissue was observed using HE staining; the expressions of IL-6 and TNF-α were detected in liver tissue using immunohistochemistry staining.Results:The key targets of celastrol in alleviating liver inflammation were inflammatory cytokines such as IL6 and TNF. The analysis of functional enrichment results showed that the key signaling pathways of Tripterygium wilfordii extract in reducing liver inflammatory injury included inflammatory response, cell apoptosis and proliferation, HIF1, and other pathways. Triptolide pretreatment could reduce serum aminotransferase level ( P<0.01) and liver inflammatory factors expression such as IL-6 and TNF-α ( P<0.05, P<0.01) after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion. Conclusion:Celastrol can alleviate hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, and its mechanism is closely related to the reduction of inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TNF-α and the alleviation of hepatic inflammatory injury.
