The blood-brain barrier （BBB） is a physical and biochemical barrier that precisely regulates brain homeostasis and plays a central role in controlling the transport of endogenous and exogenous drugs and related metabolites across the blood-brain interface. These functions of the BBB are mediated by its major components， including brain microvascular endothelial cells （BMECs）， tight junction protein complexes， and influx and efflux transporter proteins. One of the pathological features of ischemic stroke （IS） is BBB disruption， which plays an important role in the development of post-stroke brain injury and subsequent neurological dysfunction. Therefore， given the increasing incidence of IS， there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic strategies to prevent BBB dysfunction and thereby protect injured brain tissue after IS. This study describes the pathological mechanisms by which BMEC injury after IS leads to BBB dysfunction and elucidates the association between BMECs and IS， including the regulation of apoptosis， autophagy， inflammatory responses， oxidative stress， neurotoxic effects， and cerebral edema. In addition， this article summarizes Chinese herbal medicines that may prevent and treat IS by targeting BMECs. These include monomeric compounds and single herbs such as flavonoids， glycosides， phenols， phthalides， terpenoids， and Styrax. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） compound formulas and preparations include oral formulations such as Buyang Huanwu decoction， Sailuotong， Naoxintong capsules， Dandeng Tongnao capsules， and Shexiang Tongxin dropping pills， as well as injectable preparations such as Tongluo Jiunao injection， Xingnaojing injection， Danshen polyphenolic acid for injection， Yiqi Fumai injection， and Shuxuetong injection. This study aims to explore the protective effects of TCM against IS through targeted regulation of BMEC function， providing new insights into the mechanisms of IS and endovascular therapeutic strategies.

Objective: To analyze the compliance status of physical fitness indicator and lifestyle characteristics among secondary vocational school students, as well as their associations, so as to provide a reference for physical fitness promotion among secondary vocational school students. Methods: Using a convenience sampling method, a questionnaire survey and physical fitness tests were conducted from September to December 2024 among 5 141 secondary vocational school students recruited from 16 secondary vocational schools across 8 provinces/municipalities in China, including Fujian, Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shanghai and Zhejiang. Data on lifestyle factors were collected using a self designed questionnaire combined with standardized scales, including dietary habits, unhealthy behaviors, and 24 hour behaviors (physical activity, screen time, and sleep behavior). Multivariable Logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations of individual lifestyle behaviors and clustering of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors with non-compliance in physical fitness indicators among secondary vocational school students. Results: The compliance rates for waist circumference, vital capacity, grip strength, standing long jump, 30 second sit ups, 20 meter shuttle run, 50 meter dash, sit and reach, 20 second side steps among secondary vocational school students were 55.9%, 89.6%, 81.8%, 79.4%, 77.8%, 61.4%, 87.0%, 12.6%, and 63.5%, respectively, with a non-overweight/obesity rate of 78.9%. The reporting rates of daily breakfast consumption, milk consumption, and vegetable consumption were 58.9%, 18.3%, and 37.5%, respectively. The reporting rates of frequent takeout consumption, frequent sugar sweetened beverage consumption, smoking, alcohol drinking, insufficient moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), excessive screen time, and insufficient sleep were 30.0%, 43.8%, 8.4%, 15.8%, 42.9%, 90.8%, and 42.6%, respectively. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that secondary vocational school students with insufficient MVPA had higher risks of non-compliance in vital capacity, grip strength, standing long jump, 30 second sit ups, 20 meter shuttle run, 50 meter dash, and 20 second side steps ( OR =1.22- 1.60 ); secondary vocational school students who consumed breakfast daily had lower risks of non-compliance in vital capacity and overweight/obesity ( OR =0.81, 0.85); daily vegetable consumption was associated with a lower risk of vital capacity non-compliance ( OR =0.72); frequent takeout consumption was associated with an increased risk of non-compliance in the sit and reach test ( OR =1.28); smoking was associated with increased risks of non-compliance in the 20 meter shuttle run and 20 second side steps ( OR =1.38, 1.58) (all P <0.05). Regarding the clustering of unhealthy behaviors, secondary vocational school students with 4- 5 clustered unhealthy behaviors had higher risks of non-compliance in waist circumference and standing long jump; those with≥6 clustered behaviors had higher risks of non-compliance in standing long jump, 20 meter shuttle run, and 20 second side step ( OR = 1.17-1.36, all P <0.05). Conclusions The clustering of unhealthy behaviors is negatively associated with physical fitness status among secondary vocational school students. Secondary vocational schools should prioritize the promotion of comprehensive lifestyle management to improve the physical fitness levels of secondary vocational school students.

Purpose To explore the value of 5.0T MRI arterial spin labeling and morphological indexes for staging chronic kidney disease(CKD).Materials and Methods Ninety-five patients with CKD in Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital from January to August 2024 were collected prospectively,all of whom underwent 5.0T MRI routine and arterial spin labeling examination with calculation of renal blood flow(RBF)and morphological evaluation.According to the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),the patients were categorized into early CKD group[eGFR 60-89 ml/(min?1.73 m2)]and intermediate-late CKD group[eGFR<59 ml/(min?1.73 m2)]and were further divided into stage 1-5.The differences in RBF between early and intermediate-late CKD patients were compared,and the differences in morphological indexes among different stages of CKD were also analyzed.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to screen for independent influences on early or intermediate-late CKD staging.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of RBF values and morphological indexes for early CKD.RBF in CKD stages 1-5 were compared,with Bonferroni pairwise comparisons.The correlation between RBF values and both clinical and morphological indexes were also assessed.Results Whether in CKD stage 2 or 5,morphological factors affecting CKD staging were renal parenchymal signal,renal corticomedullary demarcation,renal volume and renal envelope(χ2=53.715,73.368,36.488,56.688,35.630,39.499,28.520,32.632,all P<0.001).In CKD stage 2,the independent influences screened by multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis were renal parenchymal signal(P<0.001)and renal corticomedullary demarcation(P=0.021).Both renal RBF values in early CKD were significantly higher than that in intermediate-late CKD(Z=-5.975,-5.885,both P<0.001).The areas under the curve for diagnosing early CKD using mean RBF of both kidneys,morphological indexes,and the combination of mean RBF with renal morphological indexes were 0.854,0.932 and 0.951,respectively.RBF values for both kidneys showed statistically significant differences among the five CKD stages(left:H=48.738;right:H=48.102,both P<0.001)and between non-adjacent stages(all P<0.05).Both kidneys RBF values showed a positive correlation with renal parenchymal signal and renal corticomedullary demarcation(left:r=0.600,0.503;right:r=0.550,0.504,both P<0.001).Conclusion The integration of arterial spin labeling and morphological assessment on 5.0T MRI enables a noninvasive and precise functional and morphological evaluation of early renal damage in CKD patients,providing a foundation for subsequent clinical CKD staging.

BACKGROUND:Trunk pressure biofeedback is considered a reliable indicator for assessing core muscle strength.It not only reflects the status of an individual's trunk strength but also has a close relationship with the function of respiratory muscles. OBJECTIVE:To explore the correlation between trunk pressure biofeedback and diaphragmatic function in young adults. METHODS:A total of 80 young adults from Shangrao Normal University,China were enrolled,including 34 males and 46 females,with an average age of(19.83±1.45)years.Diaphragmatic thickness and mobility were measured using a bedside musculoskeletal ultrasound system.Maximum inspiratory pressure was determined using a portable pulmonary function tester.Lumbar and abdominal pressures in prone and supine positions were assessed using a pressure biofeedback device.The degree of correlation between trunk pressure biofeedback and diaphragmatic function was determined using Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients.A multivariate linear regression analysis was used to determine predictive models for diaphragmatic function. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Grouped by sex,age,height,body mass,trunk pressure biofeedback values,diaphragm thickness during quiet inspiration and expiration,diaphragmatic thickening ratio during quiet breathing,diaphragmatic thickness during deep inspiration and expiration,diaphragmatic thickening ratio during deep breathing,diaphragmatic mobility during deep inspiration,and maximum inspiratory pressure were higher in the male group than the female group(all P<0.05).Grouped by physical activity level,trunk pressure biofeedback values and maximum inspiratory pressure were lower in the sedentary group than in the exercise group(both P<0.05).Both anterior and posterior trunk pressure biofeedback were significantly correlated with diaphragmatic thickness during quiet inspiration and expiration,diaphragmatic thickening ratio during quiet breathing,diaphragmatic thickness during deep inspiration and expiration,diaphragmatic thickening ratio during deep breathing,diaphragmatic mobility during deep inspiration,and maximum inspiratory pressure(all P<0.01).Anterior trunk pressure biofeedback entered the predictive model for diaphragmatic thickness during quiet inspiration(F=27.228,P<0.001),during deep inspiration(F=38.615,P<0.001),and along with age for diaphragmatic mobility during deep inspiration(F=15.408,P<0.001).Anterior trunk pressure biofeedback,body mass,and age entered the predictive model for maximum inspiratory pressure(F=22.314,P<0.001).To conclude,there is a strong correlation between trunk pressure biofeedback and diaphragmatic thickness,diaphragmatic mobility,and maximum inspiratory pressure.The rapid and simple measurement of trunk pressure biofeedback can serve as a method for screening the diaphragmatic function in healthy young adults.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for biliary stricture within two years after orthotopic liver transplantation,and analyze the survival.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the data of 495 patients who underwent liver transplantation at Liver Transplantation Center of The First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2014 to January 2022,and according to the presence or absence of biliary stricture within two years after liver transplantation,the 495 patients were divided into stricture group with 89 patients and non-stricture group with 406 patients.The risk factors for biliary stricture and prognosis were analyzed.The independent-samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups,and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups;the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used for the analysis of risk factors,and the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.Results Recipient sex(hazard ratio[HR]=1.808,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.055-3.098,P=0.031),preoperative total bilirubin of the recipient(HR=1.002,95%CI:1.001-1.003,P=0.001),cold ischemia time(HR=1.003,95%CI:1.001-1.005,P=0.007),history of abdominal surgery for the recipient(HR=3.851,95%CI:2.273-6.524,P<0.001),and mismatch of donor-recipient bile ducts(HR=1.962,95%CI:1.041-3.698,P=0.037)were identified as independent risk factors for biliary stricture within two years after transplantation.The median follow-up time was 4.09 years,and the 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates were 92.7%,80.5%,and 75.4%,respectively,after liver transplantation.The onset of biliary stricture within two years after liver transplantation had no significant impact on the survival of patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation.Conclusion Recipient sex,preoperative total bilirubin of the recipient,cold ischemia time,history of abdominal surgery for the recipient,and mismatch of donor-recipient bile ducts are independent risk factors for biliary stricture within two years after transplantation.The onset of biliary stricture within two years after transplantation does not affect the survival time of patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation.

Objective To explore the clinical value of the different components of glycosylated hemoglobin in pa-tients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods A total of 217 patients were divided into 3 groups:CAD group (groupⅠ, n=60), CAD patients without acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and with diabetes mellitus group (groupⅡ, n=60) and ACS patients with diabetes mellitus group (groupⅢ, n=97). Fifty-eight healthy volunteers in the same time period were selected as control group. The values of fructose glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1a), lactose glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1b), glucose glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), hemoglobin P3 component (HbP3), hemoglobin A0 component (HbA0), unstable glycosyl-ated hemoglobin (LA1c/CHb1) and alkali-resistant hemoglobin (HbF) were measured. These parameters were compared be-tween 4 groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze factors that influencing CAD and CAD with diabetes mellitus. The re-ceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of these factors. Results There were significant differences in titers of HbA1b, HbA1c, HbP3 and HbA0 between groupⅠ, groupⅡ, groupⅢand control group (P＜0.01, or P＜0.05). There were no significant differences in levels of glycosylated hemoglobin parameters between groupⅡand groupⅢ(P>0.05). Logistic regression and ROC curve analysis showed that HbA1c and HbP3 were indepen-dent effects of CAD, and there were some diagnostic efficiency of CAD. The diagnostic efficiency of ROC curve was consis-tent in HbA1c and HbP3 between group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ. Conclusion Levels of HbA1b, HbA1c, HbP3 and HbA0 are closely related to CAD and CAD with diabetes mellitus. HbA1c and HbP3 are independent effects of CAD and, there are some diagnostic efficiency in CAD.
