AIM:This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms by which treadmill exercise ameliorates de-pressive-like behaviors and hippocampal neuronal damage in chronic restraint stress(CRS)mice by regulating mitophagy via the Sirt1/PGC-1α signaling axis.METHODS:Forty C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to control,CRS,CRS+exercise(EXE)and EXE groups(n=10).The mice in CRS and CRS+EXE groups underwent 4 h of daily restraint for 28 consecutive days to establish a depression model.The mice in CRS+EXE and EXE groups received 8 weeks of treadmill training(6 sessions per week).Depressive-like behaviors were evaluated using the open field test,sucrose preference test,and tail suspension test.Hippocampal neuronal morphology and pathological changes were examined using hematoxy-lin-eosin and Nissl staining,while neuronal apoptosis was assessed through TUNEL staining.Mitochondrial ultrastructure was examined via transmission electron microscopy.Mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP content were measured using JC-1 assay and ATP assay kits,respectively.The expression levels of silent information regulator 1(Sirt1),peroxi-some proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α(PGC-1α),PTEN-induced kinase 1(PINK1)and parkin were as-sessed at both mRNA and protein levels by RT-qPCR and Western blot assays,as well as key markers of mitophagy[mi-crotubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3)and P62]and apoptosis(cleaved caspase-9 and cleaved caspase-3).RESULTS:Compared with control group,CRS mice exhibited significantly reduced central zone entries and time(P<0.01),decreased sucrose preference(P<0.01),increased immobility time(P<0.01),severe hippocampal neuronal damage,elevated apoptosis rate(P<0.01),mitochondrial deterioration;reduced membrane potential and ATP content(P<0.01),decreased mRNA expressions of Sirt1,PGC-1α,PINK1,and parkin(P<0.01),reduced protein levels of Sirt1,PGC-1α,PINK1,parkin and LC3(P<0.01),and increased expression of P62,cleaved caspase-9,and cleaved caspase-3(P<0.01).The mice in CRS+EXE group showed significant improvements in all these parameters compared to CRS group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Treadmill exercise mitigates CRS-induced depressive-like behaviors,mi-tochondrial dysfunction,and neuronal apoptosis in mice by activating the hippocampal Sirt1/PGC-1α/mitophagy axis.

Through the combination of virtual simulation and reality situation, the platform has formed an online and offline model of experimental teaching, which has improved the innovation and practice ability of students and enhanced the teaching quality.

Objective:To explore the design of an evaluation index system with feasibility and appropriateness, and to conduct cloud model evaluation, in order to provide reference for the high-quality development of public traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) medical institutions in China.Methods:The Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process were used to construct an evaluation index system for public TCM medical institutions and calculate the index weights. Then the cloud model theory was applied to comprehensively evaluate the index system.Results:The index system of TCM medical institutions including 5 primary indicators and 12 secondary indicators of " external governance" module and 9 primary indicators and 62 secondary indicators of " internal management" module was constructed. The cloud model of the index system was(4.608, 1.022, 0.151), and the cloud rank was in the range of " very good" .Conclusions:The indicator system constructed in this study is relatively objective, scientific, and reasonable. While ensuring the accuracy and credibility of the evaluation results, it also adds evaluation information, which has certain guiding significance for promoting the high-quality development of public TCM medical institutions.

The protective effect and mechanism of Oroxylin A, a naturally occurring compound in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, was investigated in this study. Isoproterenol administration to rats triggered classic cardiac failure, as demonstrated by objective parameters of cardiac dysfunction. Intragastric administration of oroxylin A at the dose of 25, 50 and 100 mg/(kg·d)significantly improved deranged cardiac parameters in the isoproterenol-induced heart failure model in a dose-dependent manner. At the same time, oroxylin A markedly ameliorated cardiac histological changes and down-regulated serum levels of various neuroendocrine factors including norepinephrine, aldosterone, brain natriuretic peptide, endothelin 1, angiotensin II and so on. Mechanistically, augmenting autophagy of myocardial cells via the inhibition of AKT1-RPS6KB1 signaling contributed to the improvement of isoproterenol-induced rat heart failure by oroxylin A. Taken together, these results suggest that oroxylin A ameliorates heart failure through promoting autophagy in myocardial cells.

Objective: To investigate moderating role of sense of humor to the relationship between stressful events and mental health. Methods: 836 middle-school students were investigated by MSHS, ASLEC and GHQ-20. Results: Sense of humor had a positive effect on students’ mental health, and strong humor could deduce the level of anxiety and depressed emotion. Sense of humor could buffer the relationship of stressful events and depression, but it could not adjust the relationship of stressful events with self-affirmation and anxiety. Conclusion: Sense of humor has a moderating effect on the stressful events and some aspects of mental health.

Objective:To explore gender difference of adolescent's sexology.Methods:Twenty-three studies about adolescent sexology from 1994 to 2005 were collected for meta analysis.Results:When facing first menstrual flow, more girls express fear than the counterpart situation of boys first facing spermatorrhea (effective value 0.49, 95% CI 0.45~0.53). Boys and girls had no difference as with school as the source of sex knowledge. Girls got sex knowledge more frequently from parents than boys, the later got more from media and books. Boys had more sex fantasy, stronger sex desire and actually more sex activities than girls (effective values were 4.47, 3.41, 1.59 relatively, with 95% CI were 4.06~5.13, 3.10~3.47, 1.37~1.86).Conclusion:There are obvious gender differences in adolescent sexology.
