“Runner’s high” refers to a momentary sense of pleasure that suddenly appears during running or other exercise activities, characterized by anti-anxiety, pain relief, and other symptoms. The neurobiological mechanism of “runner’s high” is unclear. This review summarizes human and animal models for studying “runner’s high”, analyzes the neurotransmitters and neural circuits involved in runner’s high, and elucidates the evidence and shortcomings of researches related to “runner’s high”. This review also provides prospects for future research. Research has found that exercise lasting more than 30 min and with an intensity exceeding 70% of the maximum heart rate can reach a “runner’s high”. Human experiments on “runner’s high” mostly use treadmill exercise intervention, and evaluate it through questionnaire surveys, measurement of plasma AEA, miRNA and other indicators. Animal experiments often use voluntary wheel running intervention, and evaluate it through behavioral experiments such as conditional place preference, light dark box experiments (anxiety), hot plate experiments (pain sensitivity), and measurement of plasma AEA and other indicators. Dopamine, endogenous opioid peptides, endogenous cannabinoids, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and other substances increase after exercise, which may be related to the “runner’s high”. However, attention should be paid to the functional differences of these substances in the central and peripheral regions, as well as in different brain regions. Moreover, current studies have not identified the targets of the neurotransmitters or neural factors mentioned above, and further in-depth researches are needed. The mesolimbic dopamine system, prefrontal cortex-nucleus accumbens projection, ventral hippocampus-nucleus accumbens projection, red nucleus-ventral tegmental area projection, cerebellar-ventral tegmental area projection, and brain-gut axis may be involved in the regulation of runner’s high, but there is a lack of direct evidence to prove their involvement. There are still many issues that need to be addressed in the research on the neurobiological mechanisms of “runner’s high”. (1) Most studies on “runner’s high” involve one-time exercise, and the characteristics of changes in “runner’s high” during long-term exercise still need to be explored. (2) The using of scales to evaluate subjects lead to the lacking of objective indicators. However, some potential biomarkers (such as endocannabinoids) have inconsistent characteristics of changes after one-time and long-term exercise. (3) The neurotransmitters involved in the formation of the “runner’s high” all increase in the peripheral and/or central nervous system after exercise. Attention should be paid to whether peripheral substances can enter the blood-brain barrier and the binding effects of neurotransmitters to different receptors are completely different in different brain regions. (4) Most of the current evidence show that some brain regions are activated after exercise. Is there a functional circuit mediating “runner’s high” between these brain regions? (5) Although training at a specific exercise intensity can lead to “runner’s high”, most runners have not experienced “runner’s high”. Can more scientific training methods or technological means be used to make it easier for people to experience the “runner’s high” and thus be more willing to engage in exercise? (6) The “runner’s high” and “addiction” behaviors are extremely similar, and there are evidences that exercise can reverse addictive behaviors. However, why is there still a considerable number of people in the sports population and even athletes who smoke or use addictive drugs instead of pursuing the “pleasure” brought by exercise? Solving the problems above is of great significance for enhancing the desire of exercise, improving the clinical application of neurological and psychiatric diseases through exercise, and enhancing the overall physical fitness of the population.

ObjectiveTo understand the infection characteristics and drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Serratia marcescens (CRSM) in a general hospital in Shanghai, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical anti-infective treatment and prevention of drug-resistant bacteria. MethodsClinical data on cases with CRSM infections detected in clinical specimens at a gradeⅢ level A general hospital in Shanghai from June 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively collected, and their clinical distributions, factors of hospital-acquired infections, prognosis, and drug-resistant situation were analyzed simultaneously. ResultsA total of 38 cases with CRSM were detected from June 2022 to June 2024, and the number of CRSM strains accounted for 25.00% (38/152) of the number of SM strains. The 38 CRSM infection samples were all derived from sputum. CRSM were distributed in 9 clinical departments, and the top 3 departments having the highest percentages of CRSM among SM strains, were intensive care unit (ICU) (78.79%, 26/33), gastrointestinal surgery department (57.14%, 4/7), and thyroid hernia surgery department (50.00%, 1/2). Among the 38 patients with CRSM infections, 8 cases were identified as hospital-acquired infection, resulting in a hospital-acquired infection rate of 21.05. The mortality rate of the 38 cases of CRSM infected patients within 30 days after detection of CRSM was 23.68% (9/38). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score ≥6.5 points (OR=15.33, P<0.001), septic shock (OR=4.85, P=0.032), and suffering from neoplastic diseases (OR=0.12, P=0.018) were the related factors for death within 30 days after the detection of CRSM in patients with CRSM infection. The results of drug sensitivity test showed that the 38 cases of CRSM exhibited 100.00% (38/38) sensitivity to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, tigecycline, or ceftazidime/avibactam; demonstrated high resistance toβ-lactams except for ceftazidime (18.42%, 7/38), the latter of which was one of the third-generation of cephalosporins; showed elevated resistance to fluoroquinolones [levofloxacin (89.47%, 35/38), ciprofloxacin (94.74%, 36/38)]; maintained good tetracycline sensitivity [doxycycline (97.37%, 37/38), minocycline (76.32%, 29/38)]; and displayed high susceptibility to the aminoglycoside gentamicin (94.74%, 36/38) and elevated resistance to tobramycin (86.84%, 34/38). The detection rate of serine carbapenemase in the 38 strains of CRSM was 100.00%, while all strains tested negative for metallo-β-lactamases. ConclusionFrom June 2022 to June 2024, the detection rate of CRSM in a gradeⅢ level A general hospital in Shanghai was relatively high, especially in the ICU. CRSM has a high resistance rate to commonly used antibacterial drugs such as the first and second-generation cephalosporins, quinolones, and polypeptide antibacterial drugs. Therefore the dynamics of drug-resistant bacteria should be tracked in a timely manner to guide the rational clinical application of antibacterial drugs.

Houpo Sanwutang， included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Prescriptions （Second Batch）， was first recorded in the Synopsis of Golden Chamber written by ZHANG Zhongjing from the Eastern Han dynasty and was modified by successive generations of medical experts. A total of 37 pieces of effective data involving 37 ancient Chinese medical books were retrieved from different databases. Through literature mining， statistical analysis， and data processing， combined with modern articles， this study employed bibliometrics to investigate the historical origin， composition， decoction methods， clinical application， and other key information. The results showed that the medicinal origin of Houpo Sanwutang was clearly documented in classic books. Based on the conversion of the measurements from the Han Dynasty， it is recommended that 110.4 g Magnolia Officinalis Cortex， 55.2 g Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， and 72 g Aurantii Fructus Immaturus should be taken. Magnolia Officinalis Cortex and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus should be decocted with 2 400 mL water first， and 1 000 mL should be taken from the decocted liquid. Following this， Rhei Radix et Rhizoma should be added for further decoction， and then 600 mL should be taken from the decocted liquid. A single dose of administration is 200 mL， and the medication can be stopped when patients restore smooth bowel movement. Houpo Sanwutang has the effect of moving Qi， relieving stuffiness and fullness， removing food stagnation， and regulating bowels. It can be used in treating abdominal distending pain， guarding， constipation， and other diseases with the pathogenesis of stagnated heat and stagnated Qi in the stomach. The above results provide reference for the future development and research of Houpo Sanwutang.

Objective: To investigate the detection of depressive symptoms and its influencing factors among middle school students in Huzhou City, so as to provide insights for improving the mental health levels among middle school students. Methods: From September to November 2024, a total of 4 729 middle school students from five counties (districts) in Huzhou City were selected through the stratified cluster random sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle, and school bullying were collected through questionnaire surveys. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Factors affecting depressive symptoms among middle school students were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 4 729 middle school students were surveyed, including 2 200 boys (46.52%) and 2 529 girls (53.48%). Depressive symptoms were detected in 1 026 students, with a detection rate of 21.70%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that girl (OR=1.960, 95%CI: 1.659-2.317), high school (ordinary high school, OR=1.789, 95%CI: 1.465-2.186; vocational high school, OR=1.581, 95%CI: 1.105-2.263), consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages >0 time/day (<1 time/day, OR=1.363, 95%CI: 1.009-1.841; ≥1 time/day, OR=1.568, 95%CI: 1.098-2.239), fried food intake ≥1 time/day (OR=1.890, 95%CI: 1.291-2.769), skipping breakfast daily (OR=2.178, 95%CI: 1.825-2.599), TV viewing time ≥2 hours/day (OR=1.457, 95%CI: 1.154-1.838), insufficient sleep duration (OR=1.761, 95%CI: 1.422-2.181), smoking (OR=2.798, 95%CI: 1.834-4.269), alcohol consumption (OR=2.282, 95%CI: 1.861-2.798), experiencing school bullying (OR=5.440, 95%CI: 3.148-9.402) and parental physical/verbal abuse (OR=3.954, 95%CI: 3.189-4.902) were associated with a higher risk of depressive symptoms among middle school students. Conversely, the middle school students who engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity ≥3 times/week (OR=0.784, 95%CI: 0.668-0.921) and attended physical education classes ≥3 sessions/week (OR=0.736, 95%CI: 0.613-0.884) were associated with a lower risk of depressive symptoms. Conclusion The prevalence of depressive symptoms among middle school students in Huzhou City was lower than national average, and was influenced by dietary habits, physical exercise, sleep duration, smoking, alcohol consumption, and experiencing school bullying.

Background::In vitro fertilization (IVF) has emerged as a transformative solution for infertility. However, achieving favorable live-birth outcomes remains challenging. Current clinical IVF practices in IVF involve the collection of heterogeneous embryo data through diverse methods, including static images and temporal videos. However, traditional embryo selection methods, primarily reliant on visual inspection of morphology, exhibit variability and are contingent on the experience of practitioners. Therefore, an automated system that can evaluate heterogeneous embryo data to predict the final outcomes of live births is highly desirable. Methods::We employed artificial intelligence (AI) for embryo morphological grading, blastocyst embryo selection, aneuploidy prediction, and final live-birth outcome prediction. We developed and validated the AI models using multitask learning for embryo morphological assessment, including pronucleus type on day 1 and the number of blastomeres, asymmetry, and fragmentation of blastomeres on day 3, using 19,201 embryo photographs from 8271 patients. A neural network was trained on embryo and clinical metadata to identify good-quality embryos for implantation on day 3 or day 5, and predict live-birth outcomes. Additionally, a 3D convolutional neural network was trained on 418 time-lapse videos of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)-based ploidy outcomes for the prediction of aneuploidy and consequent live-birth outcomes.Results::These two approaches enabled us to automatically assess the implantation potential. By combining embryo and maternal metrics in an ensemble AI model, we evaluated live-birth outcomes in a prospective cohort that achieved higher accuracy than experienced embryologists (46.1% vs. 30.7% on day 3, 55.0% vs. 40.7% on day 5). Our results demonstrate the potential for AI-based selection of embryos based on characteristics beyond the observational abilities of human clinicians (area under the curve: 0.769, 95% confidence interval: 0.709–0.820). These findings could potentially provide a noninvasive, high-throughput, and low-cost screening tool to facilitate embryo selection and achieve better outcomes. Conclusions::Our study underscores the AI model’s ability to provide interpretable evidence for clinicians in assisted reproduction, highlighting its potential as a noninvasive, efficient, and cost-effective tool for improved embryo selection and enhanced IVF outcomes. The convergence of cutting-edge technology and reproductive medicine has opened new avenues for addressing infertility challenges and optimizing IVF success rates.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with type A aortic dissection(TAAD)after Sun's operation.Methods The clinical data of 87 patients who underwent TAAD Sun's operation in our hospital from March 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into the bleeding group and the non-bleeding group according to whether there was gastrointestinal bleeding after operation.The clinical data of patients in the two groups was compared and analyzed.The binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of gastrointestinal bleeding.The clinical predictor of postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results In this study,there were 40 cases of postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding(the bleeding group)and 47 cases of non-bleeding(the non-bleeding group).Compared with the non-bleeding group,the bleeding group had a shorter onset time,a higher proportion of patients with hypertension history,a higher preoperative creatinine abnormality rate,more intraoperative blood loss,longer postoperative mechanical ventilation time,higher postoperative infection rate,and higher poor prognosis rate,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the gender,age,gastrointestinal diseases history,smoking history,preoperative platelets,preoperative international normalized ratio(INR),preoperative alanine aminotransferase(ALT),preoperative aspartate aminotransferase(AST),preoperative γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT),preoperative dissection involving abdominal aorta,operation time,intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time,intraoperative circulatory arrest time,intraoperative aortic occlusion time or intraoperative blood transfusion rate.Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension history(OR=2.468,95%CI:0.862 to 7.067,P=0.037),preoperative creatinine>105 μmol/L(OR=3.970,95%CI:1.352 to 11.659,P=0.011),long postoperative mechanical ventilation time(OR=1.015,95%CI:0.094 to 1.018,P=0.041)and postoperative infection(OR=3.435,95%CI:0.991 to 11.900,P=0.012)were the independent risk factors for postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding in TAAD patients.ROC curve showed that the postoperative mechanical ventilation time exceeding 64 hours were the clinical predictor of postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding in TAAD patients.Conclusion The prognosis of TAAD patients with postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding after Sun's operation is poor.Hypertension history,preoperative acute renal insufficiency,long postoperative mechanical ventilation time and postoperative infection are closely related to postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding in TAAD patients after operation,which should be paid more attention to,and corresponding evaluation,early identification and early intervention should be made to improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To analyze and explore the effects of Huayu Jiedu Decoction on the malignant biological characteristics of multiple myeloma(MM)cells and its molecular mechanism,so as to provide experimental basis and theoretical basis for the alternative therapy of anti-MM in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:Different concentrations of Huayu Jiedu Decoction were used to intervene myeloma U266 cells.The changes of cell proliferation activity were detected by CCK-8 assay,apoptosis was detected by Annexin V/PI double staining flow cytometry,and apoptosis and protein expression of related signaling pathways were detected by Western blot.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect mRNA expression changes of high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),CXC chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)and interleukin-6(IL-6).Results:Huayu Jiedu Decoction inhibited the proliferative activity of U266 cells and induced their apoptosis in a concentration and time dependent manner(r=-0.713,r=-0.827).After treatment with Huayu Jiedu Decoction for 48 h,the expressions of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and survivin were down-regulated,while the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax was up-regulated,and the phosphorylation level of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was inhibited.After intervention of Huayu Jiedu decoction,the expressions of HMGB1 and IL-6 mRNA were significantly decreased,while the expression of CXCR4 was not significantly decreased.Conclusion:Huayu Jiedu Decoction can inhibit the proliferative activity of U266 cells and induce programmed death.Its molecular mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of apoptotic proteins,inhibiting the activation of TLR4/NF-κB pathway and down-regulating the expression of HMGB1 and IL-6 mRNA.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Curcumol on the malignant biological characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)cells and its molecular mechanism,and to provide theoretical and experimental evidence for the anti-leukemia treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:After the AML cell lines HL-60 and KG-1 cells were treated different concentrations of with Curcumol.The proliferation activity of cells was detected by CCK-8 method,and the expression changes of apoptotic proteins and PI3 K/AKT signaling pathway proteins were detected by Western blot. Real-time quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR ) was used to detect the expression of Caspase family mRNA.Results:Curcumol could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of HL-60 and KG-1 cells,promote apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of Bax and down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 protein (P<0.05).When Curcumol interferes with HL-60 and KG-1 cells,it can also induce programmed cell death of AML by inhibiting PI3 K/AKT signaling pathway.In addition,after the intervention of Curcumol,the expression of Caspase 3,Caspase 6,Caspase 8 and Caspase 9 were up-regulated in HL-60 cells (P<0.05 ),the expression of Caspase 3,Caspase 8 and Caspase 9 were significantly up-regulated in KG-1 cells (P<0.01),while the expression of Caspase 6 was weakly affected (P<0.05 ),but low concentration of Curcumol (<60 μg/ml)had no effect on the expression of Caspase 6 in KG-1 cells (P>0.05).Conclusion:Curcumol may mediate the programmed death of AML cells by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,affecting the expression of Bcl-2 family proteins,and promoting the activation of core members of Caspase family,so as to play an anti-leukemia role.

Objective:To explore the potential therapeutic targets of apigenin in the treat-ment of thyroid carcinoma by network pharmacology.Methods:The targets of apigenin were screened by HIT(High Throughput),Binding Database,SEA(Similarity Ensemble Approach),STITCH(Search Tool for Interactions of Chemicals),PharmMapper.Thyroid carcinoma related targets were mined from TTD(Therapeutic Target Database),DrugBank,CTD(Comparative Toxicogenomics Da-tabase),DisGeNET databases.The String database and Cytoscape 3.2.1 software were used to identify and screen out the hub targets of apigenin for thyroid carcinoma.The David database was used for Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment and KEGG signal pathway enrichment analysis of hub tar-gets.Finally,the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database was used to analyze the prognosis of hub targets.Results:175potential targets of apigenin and 168 potential targets related to thyroid carcinoma were included.37 overlapping targets of apigenin and thyroid carcinoma were obtained.32 hub targets were finally selected by network topology analysis.These hub targets of apigenin in the treatment of thyroid carcinoma were mainly enriched in involving HIF-1 signaling pathway,path-ways in cancer,etc.Finally,8 targets were screened to be associated with the survival and prog-nosis of thyroid carcinoma patients.Conclusion:Our study suggested that ALB,CCNA2,CCND1,CYP2C19,TERT,TTR,BCL2,CBR1 might be potential therapeutic targets for apigenin in the treatment of thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To explore the effect of gender,training duration and type of sports on electro-cardiographic changes in Chinese elite athletes by performing electrocardiography(ECG).Methods A to-tal of 891 Chinese elite athletes who underwent ECG examinations between 2016 and 2019 were in-cluded in the study.The ECGs were divided into three groups according to the guidelines of the Euro-pean Society of Cardiology(ESC)in 2010:group 0(normal ECG),group 1(common and training-relat-ed ECG)and Group 2(uncommon and training-unrelated ECG).The effect of gender,training dura-tion(4 to 6 years,7 to 10 years and more than 11 years)and sports types(skill,strength,endur-ance and mixed categories)on the ECG changes was assessed.Results No significant differences were found in Group 2 in sex,training duration or sports types.However,the prevalence of common train-ing-related ECG changes was significantly higher in male athletes than in female athletes(58.9%vs.47.4%).Moreover,the highest prevalence was found in athletes with more than 11 years of training,significantly higher than those with 4-6 years of training(P<0.05).A highly significant difference was also observed among athletes of different sports(P<0.01),with the highest in those of the mixed cate-gory at 64.6%.Moreover,sinus bradycardia occurred with significantly higher incidence in athletes un-dertaking mixed and endurance training than others(P<0.05).Conclusion The training-related ECG changes of Chinese elite athletes is closely correlated to their gender,training duration and sports types.
