BackgroundPatients with chronic schizophrenia often suffer from cognitive impairment. Traditional cognitive rehabilitation training has problems such as a single form and poor compliance， making it urgent to develop new cognitive intervention methods. ObjectiveTo explore the intervention effect of smartphone games on the cognitive function of patients with chronic schizophrenia， and to analyze the differences in cognitive function improvement between patients of different genders， in order to provide references for the cognitive function intervention of these patients. MethodsThis study was a prospective cohort study. A total of 30 patients who were hospitalized in the Psychiatry Department of Chaohu Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from March to October 2021， met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia as defined in the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）， and had a disease duration of above 5 years， were selected as the research subjects. All patients received smartphone game intervention for 12 weeks， 5 times a week， each session lasting 1 hour， in addition to conventional antipsychotic drug treatment. At the baseline and at 3， 6， 9， and 12 weeks of the intervention， the cognitive function was evaluated using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status （RBANS）， the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale （PANSS） was used to assess mental symptoms， and the Problematic Mobile Gaming Questionnaire （PMGQ） was used to assess addiction symptoms. ResultsA total of 26 patients （86.67%） completed the study， including 13 females and 13 males. The time effects， group effects， and interaction effect between time and group for the immediate memory factor score of RBANS in the female group and the male group were all statistically significant （F=36.682， 5.712， 3.090， P<0.05 or 0.01）， and the time effects and group effects for the verbal and delayed memory factors as well as the total score in both groups were also statistically significant （F=3.841， 6.149， 15.372， P<0.05 or 0.01）. The time effects and group effects of the total score of PANSS in both groups had no statistical significance （F=2.041， 0.623， P>0.05 for both）， and the interaction effect between time and group was statistically significant （F=5.728， P<0.01）. The time effects， group effects， and interaction effect of the total score of PMGQ in both groups were all without statistical significance （F=2.672， 0.166， 0.642， P>0.05 for both）. ConclusionSmartphone game intervention may help improve the cognitive function of patients with chronic schizophrenia （especially immediate memory， verbal function， and delayed memory）， and the benefits are greater for female patients. The smartphone game intervention did not induce game addiction， but no significant improvement in psychotic symptoms was observed. ［Funded by Excellent Young Talents Support Program of Anhui Provincial Department of Education （number， gxyqZD2022022）； www.chictr.org.cn number， ChiCTR2100044113］

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein 3 （BMP3） on the expression of inflammatory factors and joint damage in adjuvant arthritis （AA） induced by Freund′s complete adjuvant （FCA） in rats. MethodsThe AIA model was established in SD rats by intradermal injection of FCA into the toes of the left hind limb， and BMP3 overexpressing adenovirus （Ad-BMP3） or control adenovirus （Ad-NC） was injected in situ into the knee joint cavity on day 8 after modeling. Subsequently， HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the synovium， immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of BMP3 in the synovium， and ELISA was used to analyze the expression levels of IL-6， IL-1β and TNF-α in the serum. Primary fibroblast-like synoviocytes （FLS） were isolated from AIA rats， the expression of BMP3 in FLS was knocked down or overexpressed， and Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expression levels of BMP3 and inflammatory factors in FLS. ResultsHE staining confirmed the successful establishment of the AIA model. Compared with normal rats， AIA rats showed decreased BMP3 expression in synovial tissue. Knockdown of BMP3 promoted the protein expression of inflammatory factors （IL-6， IL-1β， IL-17A， TNF-α） and the mRNA expression of chemokines ［C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 （CCL2）， C-C motif chemokine ligand 3 （CCL3）， Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 （VCAM-1）］ in FLS. In contrast， overexpression of BMP3 suppressed the expression of these inflammatory factors and chemokines. Intra-articular injection of BMP3-overexpressing adenovirus in AIA rats upregulated BMP3 expression in synovial tissue and inhibited synovial inflammation and bone erosion. ConclusionBMP3 suppresses the production of inflammatory factors and chemokines in FLS， thereby alleviating synovial hyperplasia and bone erosion in arthritis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Xibining Ⅱ formula in alleviating synovial inflammation and fibrosis in knee osteoarthritis （KOA） rats based on Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） pathway. METHODS Seventy-five male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group （Sham group）， KOA group， Xibining Ⅱ low-dose group （XBNⅡ-L group， 4 g/kg）， Xibining Ⅱ high-dose group （XBNⅡ-H group， 8 g/kg）， and Xibining Ⅱ high-dose combined with STAT3 activator Colivelin trifluoroacetate （C-TFA） group [C-TFA group， 8 g/kg Xibining Ⅱ+ 1.0 mg/（kg·d） C-TFA]， with 15 rats in each group. Except for the Sham group， the KOA model was established by anterior cruciate ligament transection in the other groups. After successful modeling， each group was given corresponding drugs by intragastric administration and （or） intraperitoneal injection once daily for 28 consecutive days. After the last medication， the pathological changes of synovial tissue of knee joint in each group were evaluated and the indicators were calculated. The levels of serum inflammatory factors were detected. The positive expressions of phosphorylated JAK2 （p-JAK2） and phosphorylated STAT3 （p-STAT3） in synovial tissue of the knee joint were detected. The expressions of JAK2/STAT3 pathway-related proteins and mRNAs in synovial tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the Sham group， the synovial lining cells in the KOA group showed significant proliferation and disordered arrangement； the Krenn score， fibrosis ratio， positive area percentage of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3， p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3， protein expression of Collagen-Ⅰ and α -smooth muscle actin， the mRNA expression of JAK2， STAT3， Collagen-Ⅰ and α -smooth muscle actin， as well as serum levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the KOA group， the above pathological changes were significantly improved in each dose group of Xibining Ⅱ formula， and all indicators were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）， with the XBNⅡ-H group showing better effects than the XBNⅡ-L group （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the XBNⅡ-H group， the above pathological damages were aggravated in the C-TFA group， and all indicators were significantly worsened （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Xibining Ⅱ formula can alleviate synovial inflammation and fibrosis in KOA rats， and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

ObjectiveTo summarize the incidence and clinical features of drug hypersensitivity reactions in children treated with sustained-releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists （GnRHa）， aiming to provide guidance for the safe clinical application of GnRHa in children. MethodsThe medical data of children diagnosed with central precocious puberty （CPP） or early and fast puberty （EFP） were retrospectively analyzed， who received GnRHa treatment at the Children's Growth Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 1990 and July 2023. The occurrence of GnRHa-related drug hypersensitivity reactions were summarized， including the incidence and clinical features of systemic reactions and sterile abscesses. ResultsAmong the 1 684 children treated with GnRHa for CPP/EFP， the female-to-male ratio was 3.8∶1. A total of nine children （0.53%） developed 44 occurrences of drug hypersensitivity reactions. Four children （0.24%） presented with sterile abscesses （21 occurrences）， and five children （0.30%） experienced systemic hypersensitivity reactions （14 occurrences）. Four children were hypersensitive to triptorelin acetate， three were hypersensitive to leuprorelin acetate， and two were hypersensitive to both triptorelin acetate and leuprorelin acetate. The predominant hypersensitivity reactions to leuprorelin acetate were sterile abscesses， observed in four cases （4/277， 1.44%）， whereas the main reactions to triptorelin acetate were systemic hypersensitivity reactions， affecting five cases （5/1 501， 0.33%）. Case one presented with a severe and complex condition， exhibiting hypersensitivity to multiple GnRHa preparations （sustained-releasing triptorelin， sustained-releasing leuprorelin， and short-acting triptorelin）， and presenting with diverse manifestations， including induration， sterile abscesses， systemic hypersensitivity reactions， and even loss of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis， leading to treatment failure. ConclusionsThe proportion of children experiencing drug hypersensitivity reactions to sustained-releasing GnRHa is relatively low at 0.53%， with diverse manifestations. The reactions primarily manifest as sterile abscesses and systemic hypersensitivity reactions， and in severe cases， may lead to treatment failure due to loss of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

Abstract The cooccurrence of multi disease among children and adolescents has become increasingly prominent, necessitating a shift from "single disease separate treatment" to "multi disease co prevention". Focusing on four common health problems in children and adolescents, namely, myopia, depression, overweight/obesity, and spinal abnormalities, the paper systematically reviews the association between four categories of factors, society, environment, family, and individual behavior, and the co occurrence of the aforementioned health problems. The findings indicate that particulate matter 2.5 exposure, light at night, physical inactivity, excessive screen time, and unhealthy diet constitute the primary cross dimensional risk network. Based on these findings, the paper proposes a collaborative action framework involving family, school, and society, emphasizing systematic strategies ranging from upstream environmental governance to downstream behavioral intervention, so as to provide evidence for the practice and policy making of multi disease co-prevention in children and adolescents.

Callicarpa is an important medicinal plant in China, which has hemostatic, antibacterial, and antioxidant pharmacological effects, and the efficacy of astringing and arresting bleeding, clearing heat and detoxification, activating blood, and resolving stasis is outstanding. At the same time, Callicarpa can be used as an ornamental plant because of its gorgeous flowers and fruits. Callicarpa has good market development prospects, but the long seed reproduction cycle directly limits the large demand for seedlings in its industrial development. Asexual reproduction technology is the basis for the industrialization development of Callicarpa, which is helpful in producing high-quality seedlings and medicinal materials. Although Chinese and foreign scholars have achieved remarkable results in the study of asexual reproduction of Callicarpa, there is no report on the large-scale production of seedlings of Callicarpa. Integrating and improving its asexual reproduction technology can promote the development and utilization of Callicarpa, improve its medicinal value, and create significant economic benefits. Therefore, the authors reviewed the effects of cutting, season, plant growth regulators, substrates, environment, and management measures on the cutting of Callicarpa and the research progress of tissue culture propagation affected by explants, basic media, exogenous additives, subculture cycles, culture conditions, and transplanting substrates. The mechanism of adventitious root formation was reviewed at the cellular, physiological, and biochemical levels, so as to put forward the problems and corresponding solutions in the study of asexual propagation technology and regulatory mechanism of Callicarpa and point out the future research directions. The study aims to provide a reference for in-depth research on the asexual propagation technology of Callicarpa and the commercial production of its high-quality seedlings.

Objective: To explore the association between mental health and muscle strength among Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18, providing a theoretical foundation and intervention strategies for mental health promotion. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health, including 98 631 Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18. Psychological distress was assessed by using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and mental well being was measured with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (WEMWBS). Based on the gender and age specific Z scores of various test items [grip strength, standing long jump, pull ups (for males), and sit ups (for females)], muscle strength index (MSI) was constructed to evaluate the comprehensive level of muscle strength in adolescents. According to the Dual factor Model (DFM) of mental health, participants were categorized into four groups:troubled, symptomatic but content, vulnerable, and complete mental health. Gender differences were analyzed by using Chi-square tests, trends were tested with Cochran-Armitage tests, and multinomial Logistic regression models were applied to assess associations between muscle strength and mental health among adolescents. Results: In 2019, 37.4% of Chinese adolescents aged 13-18 were reported of high mental distress, and 59.9% were reported of low mental well being. Boys had significantly lower rates of high mental distress (35.3%) and low mental well being (55.6%) compared to girls (39.4%, 64.3%), and the differences were of statistical significance ( χ 2=176.13, 780.42, both P <0.05). In 2019, the rate of complete mental health among adolescents showed a downward trend with increasing age ( χ 2 trend = 258.47) and a gradual upward trend with increasing muscle strength levels ( χ 2 trend =123.14)，and both boys and girls exhibited similar trends ( χ 2 trend =103.83, 168.46; 57.00 , 67.34) (all P <0.05). The results of the unordered multiclass Logistic regression model showed that after controlling for confounding factors such as age and gender, when the completely pathological group as a reference, for every 1 unit increase in MSI in adolescents, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 29% ( OR = 1.29); for every unit increase in the Z-score for pull ups, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 6% ( OR =1.06) among boys; for every 1 unit increase in sit up Z score, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 19% ( OR =1.19) among girls (all P <0.05). Conclusions The mental health status of Chinese adolescents is not good enough. Muscle strength is positively associated with mental health.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which Senegenin(SEN)alleviates microglial inflammatory response through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)pathway.Methods BV2 mouse microglia cells were randomly divided into control group,model group,SEN group and MCC950 group.Cells in control group were not treated,and cells in model group were added with 1 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide(LPS);Cells in SEN group were added with 1 μg/ml LPS+4 μmol/L SEN,and cells in MCC950 group were added with 1 μg/ml LPS+10 μmol/L MCC950 for 24 hours.CCK-8 method was used to detect the effect of different concentrations of SEN on the viability of BV2 cells.Griess method was used to determine the release amount of nitric oxide(NO)in the supernatant.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression levels of NLRP3,lymphocyte apoptosis-associated spect-like protein containing a CARD(ASC),caspase-1,interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-18 mRNA.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression levels of ASC,IL-1β,Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1).Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC,IL-1β,IL-18,Nrf2,HO-1,nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS).Results The results of CCK-8 method showed that there was no significant difference in the viability of BV2 cells treated with 2～20 μmol/L SEN compared with control group(P>0.05).Compared with control group,the viability of BV2 cells in model group decreased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with model group,the viability of BV2 cells in 4 μmol/L SEN group was significantly restored(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the results of Griess method showed that the release amount of NO in cells of model group increased significantly(P<0.05);the results of real-time PCR showed that the expression levels of NLRP3,ASC,caspase-1,IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA in cells of model group increased significantly(P<0.05);the results of Western blotting showed that the protein expression levels of NLRP3,ASC,caspase-1,IL-1β and IL-18 proteins in cells of model group increased significantly(P<0.05),and the immunofluorescence staining results showed that the expression levels of iNOS and NF-κB protein in cells of model group increased,and the expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 decreased,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Compared with model group,the release amount of NO in cells of SEN group and MCC950 group decreased,and the expression levels of NLRP3,ASC,caspase-1,IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA and proteins decreased,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);in the SEN group,the expression levels of iNOS and NF-κB decreased,and immunofluorescence staining showed that Nrf2 was translocated into the nucleus,and the expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins increased significantly,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusions SEN could alleviate the inflammatory response of mouse microglia cells induced by LPS and inhibit the activation and expression of NLRP3 inflammasome,with an effect comparable to that of the inflammasome inhibitor MCC950.The mechanism may be related to the regulation of the expression of upstream factors Nrf2 and HO-1.

Paranasal sinuses,also known as nasal sinuses,are a collective term for the air-filled cavities surrounding the nasal cavity within the skull.The paranasal sinuses comprise the maxillary sinuses,ethmoid sinuses,frontal sinuses,and sphenoid sinuses,which are bilaterally symmetrical,totaling four pairs.Due to the deep-seated anatomical location of the paranasal sinuses within the skull,accurate measurement has been historically challenging,resultsing in relatively limited early investigations in this field.In recent years,with the continuous advancement of imaging technologies,research on the morphology of the paranasal sinuses has progressively increased.In this paper we provides a systematic review of domestic and international research on the variations of paranasal sinuses among different populations,factors influencing their growth and development,evolutionary characteristics,and measurement method-ologies.Furthermore,a concise retrospective analysis and future prospects for studies on the paranasal sinuses within the domestic context are provided.
