In recent years， the incidence of depression among adolescents has increased significantly， becoming a serious global public health problem. There is a close relationship between adolescent depression and lipid metabolism abnormalities. However， the mechanisms underlying this association have not been fully elucidated. This article provides a review of the mechanisms and interventions linking adolescent depression and lipid metabolism abnormalities， aiming to offer new ideas for interventions in adolescent depression. Using computerized searches of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， PubMed， and Web of Science， studies on the mechanisms and interventions related to adolescent depression and lipid metabolism were collected， with the search period extending up to October 10， 2025. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and extracted basic information from the included studies. A total of 12 original studies were included. The results indicate that adolescent depression is associated with certain lipid metabolites. Neurobiological factors， immune inflammation， oxidative stress， and gut microbiota imbalance play important roles in this association. In addition， lipid metabolites such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids （ω-3 PUFAs） have a significant ameliorating effect on adolescent depression. ［Funded by Shenzhen Fund for Guangdong Provincial High-level Clinical Key Specialties （number， SZGSP013）； Shenzhen Science and Technology Program （number， 20210617155253001）］

Background: and Purpose Live cell-based assays (LCBA) are increasingly used for serological antibody detection due to their ability to preserve antigen conformation, offering moderately higher sensitivity than fixed cell-based assays. However, the clinical necessity of prioritizing LCBA for the detection of aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) remains unclear, especially when compared to its established role in diagnosing myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease. Methods: We compared the performance of live cell-based assays using immunofluorescence (LCBA-IF) and fixed cell-based assays using immunofluorescence (FCBA-IF) in detecting AQP4-IgG in 90 cases of NMOSD meeting 2015 International Panel for Neuromyelitis Optica Diagnosis criteria, alongside 40 controls. Additionally, we further investigated the relationship between AQP4-IgG titers as measured by LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF and clinical parameters in NMOSD patients. Results: Results showed 96.9% agreement between LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF (Cohen’s κ=0.935), with a strong Spearman correlation (0.977, p<0.001). Both methods demonstrated 100% specificity, with LCBA-IF showing slightly higher sensitivity compared to FCBA-IF. Within LCBAIF-tested groups, statistically significant differences in annualized relapse rates were observed across all pairwise comparisons (low-titer vs. moderate-titer, low-titer vs. high-titer, and moderate-titer vs. high-titer; all p<0.050). However, this association reached statistical significance in some FCBA-IF-tested groups. Conclusions Overall, there is a strong concordance between LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF in detecting AQP4-IgG, where LCBA-IF shows slightly higher sensitivity. Furthermore, there is a potential link between elevated AQP4-IgG titers and an increased risk of relapse, and this correlation may appear more pronounced when using LCBA-IF.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics,immunophenotype,high-risk human papillomavirus(hrHPV)infection status,treatment,and prognosis of cervical carcinoma exhibiting adenoid cystic car-cinoma(ACC)features.Methods Clinical data from 10 cases of cervical cancer with ACC features were collected.A retrospective analysis was proformed on the patients'clinicopathological data,histological features,and immunopheno-type(EnVision method),along with in situ hybridization detection of hrHPV E6/E7 mRNA covering 18 hrHPV types.Results The median age of the patients was 67.5 years,comprising 4 biopsy specimens and 6 surgical specimens.Except for 2 cases detected incidentally during physical examination,the remaining 8 cases presented with unexplained vaginal bleeding or contact bleeding.The mean tumor diameter was 4.5 cm(range:2.5 to 9.0 cm),and tumor stages were available for 8 patients(5 cases in stage Ⅰ and 1 case each in stages Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳ).The follow-up period was 8 to 42 months,excluding 1 case lost to follow-up,2 cases(Ⅲ C1 and ⅣB)died within 1 year after surgery.Histologi-cally,4 cases exhibited pure ACC morphology,while 5 cases were mixed carcinomas(combined with squamous cell carcinoma,adenoid basal cell carcinoma,high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma,or carcinosarcoma,respectively).The characteristic ACC morphology manifested as cribriform,pseudo-glandular,tubular,trabecular,and/or solid pat-terns with one case mixed carcinoma's lymph node metastasis showing only ACC morphology.Immunohistochemically,all 10 tumors exhibited diffuse strong positivity for p16 and p63,a high Ki67 proliferation index(40％to 90％),and wild-type p53 expression,and in 50％of cases,only a minority of cells were positive for c-MYB.Additionally,SOX10 was positive in 8 of 9 cases and CD117 was positive in 7 of 10 cases,respectively.In situ hybridization for hrHPV E6/E7 mRNA confirmed the presence of transcriptionally active HPV infection in all cases.Conclusion Cervical cancer with ACC features is rare,and predominantly occurs in postmenopausal elderly women.It represents an HPV-associat-ed high-grade carcinoma in which clinical stage is a critical prognostic factor.Immunohistochemical staining for CD117 and SOX10 aids in the pathological diagnosis of this tumor type.

Objective:To establish an evaluation index system for the emergency capability of occupational poisoning incidents in Tianjin, providing a reference basis for evaluating the emergency capability level of occupational poisoning incidents in Tianjin.Methods:In February 2023, the Delphi method was applied to conduct expert consultation and establish the framework of the emergency response capability evaluation index system for occupational poisoning incidents in Tianjin. The positive coefficient, authority coefficient and coordination coefficient of experts were calculated. The weights of indicators at all levels were determined by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the proportional allocation method, and the internal consistency reliability of the evaluation index system was tested by using the Cronbach's α wefficient.Results:Regarding the evaluation index system for the emergency capability of occupational poisoning incidents in Tianjin, the expert positive coefficient in both rounds of consultation was 100.00% (33/33), the expert authority coefficients were 0.80 and 0.74 respectively, the expert coordination coefficients were 0.59 and 0.62 respectively ( P<0.001), and the Cronbach's α coefficient of all indicators was 0.998. The evaluation index system of emergency capability for occupational poisoning incidents in Tianjin was finally determined, including 7 first-level indicators, 30 second-level indicators and 135 third-level indicators. Conclusion:The evaluation index system of emergency capability for occupational poisoning incidents in Tianjin constructed based on the Delphi method shows that the expert consultation is active, representative and authoritative. The indicator system covers the emergency response capability to occupational poisoning incidents and has high internal consistency, providing a reliable and quantifiable reference for improving the emergency response level of occupational poisoning incidents in Tianjin.

BACKGROUND: Children's respiratory health demonstrates particular sensitivity to air pollution. Existing evidence investigating the association between short-term ozone (O₃) exposure and childhood pneumonia remains insufficient and inconsistent, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHOD: To provide more reliable and persuasive evidence, we implemented a multi-city, time-stratified case-crossover design with a large sample size, using data from seven representative children's hospitals across major geographical regions in China. To avoid the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, individual-level medical records of inpatient children under 6 years of age diagnosed with pneumonia during 2016-2019 were collected. Conditional logistic regression models were fitted for each city, and city-specific estimates were pooled through a meta-analysis using a random-effects model. RESULTS: In total, the study included 137,470 pediatric pneumonia hospital admissions. The highest pooled estimate for O₃ occurred at lag0-1, with a 10 µg/m³ increase in O₃ associated with a 1.57% (95% CI: 0.67%-2.48%) higher risk of pediatric pneumonia hospital admissions. Stratified analyses indicated that the effects of O₃ were robust across different sexes, age groups, and admission seasons. We also observed a statistically significant increase in risk associated with O₃ concentrations exceeding the World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines (WHO-AQGs). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed a significant positive association between O₃ and pediatric pneumonia hospital admissions. Our findings substantially strengthen the evidence base for the adverse health impacts of O₃, underscoring the importance of O₃ pollution control and management in reducing the public health burden of pediatric pneumonia.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of rutaecarpine (RUT) on monosodium urate crystal (MSU)-induced murine peritonitis in mice and further explored the underlying mechanism of RUT in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/MSU-induced gout model in vitro. METHODS: In MSU-induced mice, 36 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups of 8 mice each group, including the control group, model group, RUT low-, medium-, and high-doses groups, and prednisone acetate group. The mice in each group were orally administered the corresponding drugs or vehicle once a day for 7 consecutive days. The gout inflammation model was established by intraperitoneal injection of MSU to evaluate the anti-gout inflammatory effects of RUT. Then the proinflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the proportions of infiltrating neutrophils cytokines were detected by flow cytometry. In LPS/MSU-treated or untreated THP-1 macrophages, cell viability was observed by cell counting kit 8 and proinflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA. The percentage of pyroptotic cells were detected by flow cytometry. Respectively, the mRNA and protein levels were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) p65 was observed by laser confocal imaging. Additionally, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and molecular docking were applied to validate the binding ability of RUT components to tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) targets. RESULTS: RUT reduced the levels of infiltrating neutrophils and monocytes and decreased the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and interleukin 6 (IL-6, all P<0.01). In vitro, RUT reduced the production of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. In addition, RT-PCR revealed the inhibitory effects of RUT on the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, cyclooxygenase-2 and TNF-α (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Mechanistically, RUT markedly reduced protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR), phospho-mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-MAPK), phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase, phospho-c-Jun N-terminal kinase, phospho-NF-κB, phospho-kinase α/β, NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRPS), cleaved-cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1 and cleaved-gasdermin D in macrophages (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Molecularly, SPR revealed that RUT bound to TNF-α with a calculated equilibrium dissociation constant of 31.7 µmol/L. Molecular docking further confirmed that RUT could interact directly with the TNF-α protein via hydrogen bonding, van der Waals interactions, and carbon-hydrogen bonding. CONCLUSION RUT alleviated MSU-induced peritonitis and inhibited the TNFR1-MAPK/NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway to attenuate gouty inflammation induced by LPS/MSU in THP-1 macrophages, suggesting that RUT could be a potential therapeutic candidate for gout.

OBJECTIVES: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major public health concern that poses a significant threat to human health. Investigating its underlying mechanisms and identifying potential intervention targets has important clinical implications. This study aims to explore the association between serum gastric biomarkers and MetS and its components. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 24 635 individuals (aged 18 to 80 years) who underwent routine health examinations from May 2017 to June 2021 at the Health Management Medical Center, Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. Demographic data, medical and medication history, height, weight, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and creatinine levels were collected. Serum levels of pepsinogen (PG) I, PGII, and gastrin-17 (G-17) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. MetS was diagnosed based on the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between gastric biomarkers and MetS. RESULTS: Among the 24 635 participants, the overall prevalence of MetS was 35.72%, with a higher rate in males than in females (42.41% vs 24.31%). Compared with the non-MetS group, MetS group were older and had higher metabolic-related diseases rate, Helicobacter pylori infection rate, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and creatinine levels (all P<0.05). Serum G-17 levels were significantly elevated in the MetS group, and PGI levels decreased (both P<0.05). Males had higher G-17, PGI, PGII, and PGI/PGII ratios than females (all P<0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed that G-17 was consistently elevated in MetS patients regardless of sex, whereas PGI was decreased. PGII levels exhibited sex-specific differences. After adjusting for confounders, Logistic regression analysis revealed that high G-17 level was independently associated with MetS, with a stronger correlation observed in males. Moreover, G-17 level progressively increased with higher MetS scores (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Serum G-17 level is positively associated with both the presence and severity of MetS, with a more pronounced correlation in males, suggesting its potential involvement in MetS-related metabolic dysregulation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major form of dementia in the elderly and is closely related to the toxic effects of microglia sustained activation. In AD, sustained microglial activation triggers impaired synaptic pruning, neuroinflammation, neurotoxicity, and cognitive deficits. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that aberrant expression of deubiquitinating enzymes is associated with regulating microglia function. Here, we use RNA sequencing to identify a deubiquitinase YOD1 as a regulator of microglial function and AD pathology. Further study showed that YOD1 knockout significantly improved the migration, phagocytosis, and inflammatory response of microglia, thereby improving the cognitive impairment of AD model mice. Through LC-MS/MS analysis combined with Co-IP, we found that Myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9), a key regulator maintaining microglia homeostasis, is an interacting protein of YOD1. Mechanistically, YOD1 binds to MYH9 and maintains its stability by removing the K48 ubiquitin chain from MYH9, thereby mediating the microglia polarization signaling pathway to mediate microglia homeostasis. Taken together, our study reveals a specific role of microglial YOD1 in mediating microglia homeostasis and AD pathology, which provides a potential strategy for targeting microglia to treat AD.

This study aimed to comprehensively examine the association of gallstones, cholecystectomy, and cancer risk. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to estimate the observational associations of gallstones and cholecystectomy with cancer risk, using data from a nationwide cohort involving 239 799 participants. General and gender-specific two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was further conducted to assess the causalities of the observed associations. Observationally, a history of gallstones without cholecystectomy was associated with a high risk of stomach cancer (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=2.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-4.28), liver and bile duct cancer (aOR=2.46, 95% CI 1.17-5.16), kidney cancer (aOR=2.04, 95% CI 1.05-3.94), and bladder cancer (aOR=2.23, 95% CI 1.01-5.13) in the general population, as well as cervical cancer (aOR=1.69, 95% CI 1.12-2.56) in women. Moreover, cholecystectomy was associated with high odds of stomach cancer (aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.29-4.49), colorectal cancer (aOR=1.83, 95% CI 1.18-2.85), and cancer of liver and bile duct (aOR=2.58, 95% CI 1.11-6.02). MR analysis only supported the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer. This study added evidence to the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer, highlighting the importance of cancer screening in individuals with gallstones.
