BackgroundAdverse childhood experiences （ACEs） are strong predictors of psychopathology across the lifespan， exerting extensive adverse effects on physical and mental health during early development. While ACEs increase the risk of childhood psychopathology， sleep quality and impair cognitive function， the early neurobiological mechanisms mediating ACE-induced cognitive impairment remain unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the association between ACEs exposure and the risk of psychopathology， sleep disorders， and cognitive function， and to examine the mediating role of the putamen volume in the relationship between ACEs and cognitive function from a neurodevelopment perspective. MethodsData were obtained from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development （ABCD） study， comprising 10 572 children aged 9 to 10. Participants were categorized into five groups based on the cumulative score of ACEs reported by their parents and the children themselves： no-exposure group （0 types of ACEs）， the one-exposure group， the two-exposure group， the three-exposure group， and the high-risk exposure group （≥ 4 types of ACEs）. Logistic regression analysis was employed to evaluate the association between ACEs and psychopathological symptoms ［T score of the Child Behavior Checklist （CBCL） ≥ 65］. Multiple linear regression analysis was ultilized to analyze the correlations between ACEs and the scores of the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children （SDSC）， the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery （NIHTB-CB）， as well as the multiple structures in the cerebral cortex and subcortex. The Bootstrap method was applied to test the mediating effect of the putamen volume between ACEs and neurocognitive function. ResultsAfter adjusting for confounders， ACEs cumulative score was correlated with children's psychopathological symptoms in a dose-response manner. Compared with the no-exposed group， the high-risk exposure group had a 2.08-fold （OR=2.080， 95% CI： 1.401–3.088） increased risk of internalizing problems and a 3.13-fold （OR=3.132， 95% CI： 1.703–5.760） increased risk of externalizing problems， and the risk of conduct problems was 4.68 times that of the no-exposed group （OR=4.681， 95% CI： 2.528–8.669）. ACEs cumulative score positively predicted the total score of SDSC （β=0.080， 95% CI： 0.059–0.102）， with relatively stronger predictive effects on sleep-wake transition disorder （β=0.086， 95% CI： 0.063–0.109） and sleep onset and maintenance disorder （β=0.066， 95% CI： 0.043–0.089）. In terms of neurocognition and brain structure， ACEs cumulative score negatively predicted the overall cognitive composite score （β=-0.025， 95% CI： -0.050–-0.001）， the crystallized cognitive composite score （β=-0.035， 95% CI： -0.060–-0.010）， the volume of the left putamen nucleus （β=-0.025， 95% CI： -0.046– 0.003）， and the volume of the right putamen nucleus （β=-0.023， 95% CI： -0.044– 0.003）. The total putamen volume played a partial mediating role between ACEs and the overall cognitive composite score， the effect value was -0.002 （95% CI： -0.004–-0.001）， accounting for 7.49% of the total effect. ConclusionACEs exposure may increase the risk of psychopathological and sleep disturbances in children and may impair neurocognitive function. Reduced putamen volume may serve a potential neurobiological pathway underlying the impact of ACEs on childhood cognition. ［Funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China-Young Scientists Program （number， 82401763）； Sichuan University West China Hospital Full-time Postdoctoral Research and Development Fund Project （number， 2023HXBH084）］

Drug addiction,also referred to as drug dependence or substance use disorder,is a chronic and recurrent brain disease.Its main characteristics are compulsive drug-seeking behavior,continued use of drugs,and a loss of control over intake.Prolonged use of addictive substances can result in both physiological and psychological dependence.When usage is ceased,individuals may experience intense discomfort,including anxiety,insomnia,nausea,vomiting,and a strong craving for the substances.Drug dependence is classified into two types:physical dependence and psychological dependence.Physical dependence describes a pathological state of adaptation that results from the repeated use of addictive substances,leading to severe withdrawal syndrome upon cessation.Psychological dependence involves a mental craving for addictive substances,which is needed to experience the specific euphoria that follows consumption.Regular or continuous use is required to sustain these euphoric effects.The mechanisms of addiction are complex and influenced by genetic,environmental,and various other factors.They involve higher-level neurological activities,such as memory,reward,and decision-making.Currently,effective treatment methods for drug addiction are insufficient.Due to the complexity of drug addiction,laboratory animal research is essential.Using animal behavioral models to simulate human drug addiction can enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of addiction.This research offers a comprehensive overview of various animal experimental models that explore both physical and psychological dependence.It includes detailed descriptions of the methods and procedures used to assess physical dependence,behavioral sensitization,conditioned place preference,drug discrimination,and self-administration experiments.Additionally,the characteristics of each experimental model are compared,and the relevance of these models is discussed,aiming to provide support for the research on addiction mechanisms and the development of therapeutic methods.

Objective To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided iliopsoas plane block(IPB)on the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.Methods Sixty patients who underwent hip arthroplasty were selected,37 males and 23 females,aged 40-79 years,BMI 18-30 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ.The patients were divided into two groups by random number table method:the iliopsoas plane block group(group IPB)and the femoral nerve block(FNB)group(group FNB),30 pa-tients in each group.Before anesthesia induction,IPB was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 10 ml and lat-eral femoral cutaneous nerve block was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 5 ml in group IPB.And FNB was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 10 ml and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 5 ml in group FNB.The dosages of propofol,remifentanil,and cis-atracurium during operation were recorded.The quality of recovery-15(QoR-15)scale was evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively 1 day,2 and 3 days.The max VAS(VASmax)pain score and manual muscle test(MMT)score of quadri-ceps muscle were recorded 12,24,and 48 hours after surgery.The time of getting out of bed for the first time,opioid dosage,and patient satisfaction were recorded.The incidence of nerve injury,vascular injury,puncture site infection,and local anesthetic poisoning were recorded.The postoperative complications of diz-ziness,nausea and vomiting,deep vein thromboses,and elirium were also recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the dosage of propofol,remifentanil,and cis-atracurium between the two groups.Compared with group FNB,the QoR-15 scale score in group IPB was significantly higher 1 day,2 and 3 days after operation(P＜0.05).Compared with group FNB,the MMT scores of quadriceps muscle was sig-nificantly higher in group IPB 12 and 24 hours after surgery(P＜0.05),and the first time of getting out of bed was shortened in group IPB(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant differences in the VASmax pain score,MMT score of quadriceps muscle 48 hours after surgery,opioid dosage,and patient satisfaction between the two groups.No nerve block related complications were found in both groups.There were no sig-nificant differences in postoperative complications between the two groups.Conclusion The iliopsoas plane block can improve the quality of postoperative recovery and accelerate the recovery of patients with hip re-placement,and the effect is better than that of femoral nerve block.

Objective To investigate the expression of PIK3CA,phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-AKT)and phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10(PTEN)in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma(SNSCC).Methods The expressions of PIK3CA and PTEN in head and neck squamous cell carci-noma(HNSCC)were analyzed through the data set of HNSCC in the cancer genome map of UCSC Xena data-base.The immunohistochemical SP method was used to measure the expression of PIK3CA,p-AKT and PTEN in 43 cases of SNSCC tissues,20 cases of normal inferior concha tissues.The relationship between the expressions of PIK3CA,p-AKT and PTEN protein with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients with SNSCC was analyzed.Results The results of bioinformatic analysis showed that PIK3CA mR-NA expression in HNSCC tissues was higher than that in paracancerous tissues(P＜0.01),while the PTEN mRNA expression was lower than that in paracancerous tissues(P＜0.05).The immunohistochemical detec-tion results showed that the positive expressions rates of PIK3CA and p-AKT proteins in normal nasal mucosa tissues were significantly lower than those in SNSCC tissues,while the positive expression rate of PTEN pro-tein in SNSCC tissues was significantly higher than that in normal inferior nasal concha mucosa tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.01).The expressions of PIK3CA and p-AKT protein were related to the clinical stage,differentiation degree and primary site(P＜0.05),but were not related to age,gender,smoking and drinking(P＞0.05);the PTEN protein expression was not related with the clinical stage,differentiation degree,primary site,age,smoking and drinking(P＞0.05).The Spearman analysis showed that the expression of PIK3CA in SNSCC tissues was positively correlated with p-AKT protein ex-pression(r=0.664,P＜0.01),and PIK3CA was negatively correlated with PTEN protein(r=-0.414,P＜0.01).The expression of p-AKT was negatively correlated with PTEN protein(r=-0.453,P＜0.01).The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the median survival time of the patients with PIK3CA and p-AKT protein positive expression was shorter than that of the patients with negative expression(P＜0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in median survival between the patients with PTEN protein positive expres-sion and those with negative expression.Conclusion The overexpressions of PIK3CA and p-AKT accompa-nied by the loss of PTEN expression participate in the development and progression of SNSCC,moreover the PIK3CA and p-AKT expressions are related to the poor prognosis of the patients.

Zearalenone(ZEN)is a mycotoxin that extensively contaminates food and feed,posing a significant threat to public health.However,the mechanisms behind ZEN-induced intestinal immunotoxicity remain unclear.In this study,Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were exposed to ZEN at a dosage of 5 mg/kg/day b.w.for a duration of 14 days.The results demonstrated that ZEN exposure led to notable pathological alterations and immunosup-pression within the intestine.Furthermore,ZEN exposure caused a significant reduction in the levels of apolipoprotein E(ApoE)and liver X receptor(LXR)(P＜0.05).Conversely,it upregulated the levels of myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)markers(P＜0.05)and decreased the presence of 27-hydroxycholesterol(27-HC)in the intestine(P＜0.05).It was observed that ApoE or LXR agonists were able to mitigate the immunosuppressive effects induced by ZEN.Additionally,a bioinformatics analysis highlighted that the downregulation of ApoE might elevate the susceptibility to colorectal,breast,and lung cancers.These find-ings underscore the crucial role of the 27-HC/LXR/ApoE axis disruption in ZEN-induced MDSCs proliferation and subsequent inhibition of T lymphocyte activation within the rat intestine.Notably,ApoE may emerge as a pivotal target linking ZEN exposure to cancer development.

Objective:To compare the anesthetic potency of ciprofol combined with alfentanil in patients with different body mass indexes (BMIs) during gastroscopy.Methods:American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification I or Ⅱ patients, aged 18-64 yr, with a BMI of 18-36 kg/m 2, undergoing elective painless gastroscopy at Baoding First Central Hospital from October to December 2023, were divided into 3 groups: normal group (18 kg/m 2≤BMI<24 kg/m 2), overweight group (24 kg/m 2≤BMI<28 kg/m 2) and obesity group (BMI≥28 kg/m 2). The 95% effective dose (ED 95) of ciprofol during painless gastroscopy was determined by the biased coin design. Alfentanyl 5 μg/kg and ciprofol were intravenously injected for anesthesia induction. Gastroscopy was performed after the patient′s eyelash reflex disappeared, the jaw muscle was relaxed and the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score ≤ 1. The initial dose of ciprofol was 0.2 mg/kg with a dose gradient of 0.04 mg/kg. The positive response were defined as the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score still> 1 after 3 min of ciprofol injection or any other responses affecting the procedure, such as body movement, bucking, or swallowing during insertion of the endoscope. If the response was positive, the next patient received a higher dose of ciprofol, or conversely if negative, the next patient received the same dose (95% probability) or a lower dose (5% probability). Each group was completed with 40 cases. Results:The ED 95 and 95% confidence intervals of ciprofol in normal, overweight and obese groups were 0.266 (0.246, 0.285) mg/kg, 0.218 (0.189, 0.244) mg/kg, 0.191 (0.156, 0.220) mg/kg, respectively. The ED 95 of ciprofol was significantly lower in overweight and obese groups than in normal group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Overweight and obesity can increase the anesthetic potency of ciprofol in patients undergoing gastroscopy.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of heavy smoking on the dose-effect relationship of ciprofol for painless gastroscopy when combined with alfentanil.Methods:This was a prospective study. American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ male patients, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, undergoing elective painless gastroscopy from October 2023 to February 2024 in Baoding First Central Hospital, were divided into non-smoking group and heavy smoking group (smoking index>400) according to the status of smoking. Alfentanil 5 μg/kg and ciprofol were intravenously injected, and gastroscopy was performed after the patient′s eyelash reflex disappeared and the jaw was relaxed. The study was performed by the Dixon′s up-and-down method, and the initial dose of ciprofol was 0.4 mg/kg. The dose of ciprofol increased or decreased by 0.04 mg/kg each time based on the positive or negative response of the previous patient. A positive response was defined as the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score being greater than 1 point at 3 min after ciprofol injection or the occurrence of coughing, swallowing, body movement, or other responses that affected the operation during the insertion of the endoscope. The median effective dose (ED 50) and 95% confidence interval of propofol for painless gastroscopy were determined by the probit analysis. Results:Twenty-five patients were finally included in non-smoking group and 23 patients in heavy smoking group. The ED 50 (95% confidence interval) of ciprofol when combined with alfentanil was 0.205 (0.159, 0.244) mg/kg in non-smoking group and 0.252 (0.184, 0.295) mg/kg in heavy smoking group. The ED 50 was significantly higher in heavy smoking group than in non-smoking group ( u=390, P=0.009). Conclusions:Heavy smoking can weaken the sedative potency of propofol for sedation when used for painless gastroscopy when combined with alfentanil.
