Objective: To explore the association of vegetables and fruits intake with depressive symptoms among multi ethnic first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide data support for preventing and reducing depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students. Methods: From October to December 2022, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 ethnic minority areas in Yunnan Province (Fugong County, Longling County, Longyang District, Luchun County, Mojiang County, Nanjian County, Qiaojia County, Shuangjiang County, Tengchong City, Yuanmou County, Zhenyuan County), to investigate with a questionnaire. The Dietary Frequency Questionnaire was used to collect dietary behavior datas, and the Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was used to assess depressive symptoms. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the association of vegetable and fruit intake with depressive symptoms in students, and stratified analysis was performed according to ethnicity. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province was 29.5%. The detection rates of depressive symptoms in Han and minority first year junior high school students were 26.9% and 31.6%. After controlling for demographic variables such as gender, age, family residence and other confounding factors, the generalized linear model analysis results showed that the intake of leafy vegetables ( β= -0.07 , 95%CI =-0.12 to -0.01), flat fruits ( β=-0.06, 95%CI =-0.12 to -0.00) and hot natured fruits ( β=0.11, 95%CI = 0.04- 0.17) were associated with depressive symptoms in Han first year junior high school students (all P <0.05). The intake of melon and fruit vegetables ( β=-0.06, 95%CI =-0.11 to -0.01) and hot natured fruits ( β=0.06, 95%CI =0.01-0.12) were associated with depressive symptoms in ethnic minority first year junior high school students (both P <0.05). Conclusions The intake of vegetables and fruits among multi ethnic first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province is related to the risk of depressive symptoms. It is suggested to strengthen the consumption guidance and education of vegetables and fruits to prevent depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students.

Through molecular docking and experimental validation,24 SPF male KM mice were ran-domly divided into four groups:the control group(CON),model group(LPS),high-dose Yang Shuhua group(YSH-H),which was gavaged with drug solution containing 1 g/mL crude Yang Shuhua,and the low-dose Yang Shuhua group(YSH-L),which was gavaged with drug solution containing 0.5 g/mL crude Yang Shuhua for a 17-day experimental period.Mouse body weight was recorded during the experiment,and fecal scoring was done 1 h after intraperitoneal injection of LPS.At the end of the experiment,histopathological changes in the jejunum tissue were examined,and the expression of tight junction protein-related genes was detected.Compared to the CON group,mice in the LPS group showed significant decreases in villus height,villus height/crypt depth(V/C)ratio(P＜0.01),and significant increase in crypt depth(P＜0.01).The mRNA ex-pression levels of ZO-1 and claudin-1 were significantly decreased(P＜0.01).Compared to the LPS group,mice in the YSH-H group showed significant decrease in crypt depth(P＜0.05),significant increase in villus height(P＜0.05),and significant increase in V/C ratio(P＜0.01).The YSH-L group showed a significant increase in V/C ratio(P＜0.05),a trend of decreased crypt depth,and an increasing trend of villus height.The mRNA expression of ZO-1 in the YSH-H group showed a significant increase(P＜0.05)and claudin-1 showed an increasing trend.Luteolin,quercetin,kaempferol,eriodictyol,and the top 5 potential key targets TP53,IL-1β,TNF,AKT1,and IL-10 exhibited molecular docking scores less than-20.95 kJ/mol,indicating strong activity.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis suggested that Yang Shuhua compounds might act on enteritis through the TNF signaling pathway,IL-17 signaling pathway,and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.The qPCR results showed an upward trend in the mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and AKT1,significant in-crease in Caspase-1 and ASC(P＜0.05),and significantly increased expression of NF-κB and NL-RP3(P＜0.01).The mRNA expression level of AKT1,TLR4,NLRP3,ASC,Caspase-1,and NF-κB decreased compared to the LPS group,with significant differences in Caspase-1 and NF-κB(P＜0.05).This study suggests that Yang Shuhua exerts anti-enteritis effects through multiple compo-nents and pathways,with blockade of the TLR4-AKT-NF-κB pathway possibly being a key thera-peutic mechanism for treating enteritis.

BACKGROUND:Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in preventing and treating spleen-deficiency and hyperlipidemia.In basic studies,models of spleen-deficiency and hyperlipidemia are commonly found in rats,pigs,and other animals.This has limitations for medical research that can only use mouse models.It is urgent to establish and evaluate mouse models of spleen-deficiency and hyperlipidemia to support basic research on traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating spleen-deficiency and hyperlipidemia.OBJECTIVE:To establish a mouse model of spleen-deficiency hyperlipidemia.METHODS:Totally 24 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal group(n=12)and spleen-deficiency hyperlipemia group(n=12).Mice in normal group were fed basic diet.Mice in the spleen-deficiency hyperlipemia group were prepared with a diet disorder+fatigue internal injury+high-fat feeding method to establish a spleen-deficiency high-fat model.In the first 2 weeks,the mice were forced to swim to their endurance limit on a single day and were only fed cabbage,with free access to water.They were also gavaged with refined lard+high-fat feed on two-day intervals.After 2 weeks,the mice were fed a high-fat diet every day and the diet continued until 12 weeks.The mice were fed with a high-fat diet for 4 and 12 weeks,and their body weight,food intake,gripping strength,fecal water content,small intestinal charcoal propulsion rate,serum D-xylose and gastrin levels,spleen index and thymus index,blood lipid level,total body fat mass,body fat percentage,and liver lipid deposition were tested.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the normal group,the body weight,fecal water content,total body fat mass,body fat percentage,triglyceride and total cholesterol levels of the mice in the spleen-deficiency hyperlipemia group fed with high-fat diet for 4 and 12 weeks were increased(P＜0.05);the daily food intake,gripping force,and D-xylose level of the mice fed with high-fat diet for 4 and 12 weeks were decreased(P＜0.05);the spleen index of the mice fed with high-fat diet for 4 weeks was increased(P＜0.05);the small intestinal carbon propulsion rate,gastrin level,spleen index,and thymus index of the mice fed with high-fat diet for 12 weeks were decreased(P＜0.05);the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of the mice fed with high-fat diet for 12 weeks was increased(P＜0.05).(2)The results of liver oil red O staining showed that the lipid deposition in the spleen-deficiency hyperlipemia group after 4 weeks of high-fat diet feeding was slightly more than that in the normal group,and the lipid deposition in the high-fat diet feeding for 12 weeks was significantly more than that in the normal group.(3)The results show that a stable spleen deficiency and hyperlipidemia mouse model can be prepared by the compound method of eating disorders,exhaustion,and high-fat feeding.

Objective:To investigate the current status of real time application of domestic and imported medical device in the real-world in Liaoning province,and provide data support for the promotion and application of domestic medical device.Methods:Data of the usage of medical device were collected from 77 medical institutions at all levels in 9 urban-rural demonstration regions with representativeness in Liaoning Province from November 2017 to June 2020.Descriptive analysis was used to characterize the distribution of medical device,which data were collected in urban-rural medical institutions at all levels in Liaoning Province.The total amount of receiving test of medical device,and the tested amount of each device in each month in urban-rural medical institutions at all levels were calculated.The median value of monthly average number of persons who received test of various kind of domestic and imported medical device in each month in hospitals with third level and secondary level were also calculated.Results:The total number of device that were collected from 77 medical institutions in 9 demonstration regions in Liaoning province was 325,among of which there were 153 domestic device(accounting for 47.1%)and 172 imported devices(accounting for 52.9%).A total of 6,261,000 person-time valid records were collected from 77 medical institutions,which average test number was 5,562 person-time in each device and each month.The total number of person-times of domestic device in diagnosis and treatment was 1,380,000 person-times(accounting for 22.0%),and that of imported devices was 4,881,000 person-times(accounting for 78.0%).The average test number of each device of domestic device in each month was 2,334 person-times(accounting for 42.0%),and that of imported device in each month was 3,228 person-times(accounting for 58.0%).In urban regions,imported device were dominant,while domestic medical device were dominant in rural regions in Liaoning province.The overall usage frequency of imported medical device was higher in hospitals with third level or secondary level,while the usage frequency of domestic medical device was higher in grassroots medical institutions.Conclusion:There are differences in the real time usage between domestic and imported medical device among 77 medical institutions at all levels in 9 demonstration regions in Liaoning province.Urban regions mainly tend to use imported device,while rural regions more tent to use domestic device.

Objective To explore the changes in neural activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and their corre-lation with executive function,and to analyze the neural mechanisms underlying the decline in executive function in T2DM patients.Methods Thirty-one T2DM patients(T2DM group)and thirty-two healthy controls(HC)(HC group)matched for body mass index(BMI)underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)scans and N-back task tests were included.Differ-ences in the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation(ALFF),regional homogeneity(ReHo),and seed-based functional connectivity(FC)between the two groups were compared,and partial correlation analyses were performed between the difference results and N-back task performance.Results The T2DM group showed prolonged reaction time(RT)in the 1-back and 2-back tasks.T2DM patients exhibited increased ALFF in the bilateral caudate nucleus,left medial superior frontal gyrus,and right postcentral gyrus,as well as elevated ReHo in the right putamen.FC analysis revealed significant alterations in FC between the caudate nucleus,putamen,and multiple brain regions in T2DM patients,with some of these FC changes significantly correlated with RT and accuracy(ACC)in the N-back task.Conclusion The decline in executive function in T2DM patients may be associated with abnormal neural activity in brain regions such as the striatum,salience network,and frontoparietal control network.FC further decreases under increased cognitive load.These findings provide evidence for the study of the neural mechanisms of executive function impairment in T2DM patients.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of therapeutic whole blood exchange combined with lymphoplasmapheresis in the treatment of refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of AIHA patients who underwent therapeutic whole blood exchange combined with lymphoplasmapheresis at our hospital from March 2022 to May 2025. Efficacy was assessed by comparing changes in hemoglobin, platelet count, and bilirubin levels before and after treatment. Safety was evaluated by analyzing vital signs before and after the procedure, parameters during the exchange, and adverse reactions. Results: A total of 12 AIHA patients were enrolled, completing 19 exchange procedures. The number of procedures per patient ranged from 1 to 3. The median treatment duration was 67 (65-73) minutes, with a median exchange volume of 2 025 (1 851-2 121) mL, comprising 4.5 (4-6) units of red blood cells and 1 350 (1 200-1 400) mL of plasma. Ten patients achieved partial remission, one achieved complete remission, and one showed no response, yielding an response rate of 91% (11/12). After a single session, hemoglobin increased significantly by 17.58±9.85 g/L (P<0.01), while platelets counts decreased by 45 (17.5, 79)×10 /L (P<0.05), and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed a significant elevation (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were observed in total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, white blood cell count, or heart rate. During the procedures, 4 adverse reactions occurred in 3 patients: one child experienced severe heart rate fluctuation twice consecutively, and two adults developed plasma allergies. All reactions resolved spontaneously without pharmacological intervention. Conclusion: The combination of therapeutic whole blood exchange and lymphoplasmapheresis appears to be a safe and effective treatment for refractory AIHA patients.

Objective:To establish the HPLC fingerprints and multi-component content determination method of Yinchen Wuling Powder; To evaluate the quality of Yinchen Wuling Powder combined with chemical pattern recognition technology.Methods:A wavelength-switching HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprint profiles of different batches of Yinchen Wuling Powder and determine the contents of seven components of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid C, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were applied to evaluate the quality. Quality difference biomarkers were screened.Results:The fingerprint profiles of 24 batches of Yinchen Wuling Powder were identified with 20 common peaks, and 7 components were recognized. The similarity between the 24 batches of samples and the control profile was 0.966-0.994, and the attribution analysis showed that peaks 1, 2, 3 were common to Artemisia Scoparia and Alismatis Rhizoma. Chromatographic peaks 4 (neochlorogenic acid), 5, 6, 7 (chlorogenic acid), 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 (isochlorogenic acid B), 15 (isochlorogenic acid A), 16 (isochlorogenic acid C), and 19 were from Artemisia Scoparia, and peaks 17, 18 and 20 were from Cinnamomi Ramulus. Principal component analysis classified the 24 batches of samples into 4 categories, and partial least squares discriminant analysis was used to determine 11 quality difference biomarkers, including isochlorogenic acid B and neochlorogenic acid.Conclusions:The established method of determining fingerprint and multi-component content is accurate and with good repeatability. The results can provide a certain basis for the quality evaluation of Yinchen Wuling Powder.

Objective:To compare the value of different imaging modalities in evaluating early efficacy of 90Y-selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for liver malignant tumors. Methods:From September 2021 to December 2023, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 43 patients (32 males, 11 females; age (55.8±14.7) years) with liver malignant tumors who received 90Y-SIRT at Hainan Cancer Hospital and Boao Super Hospital. The injection dosage of 90Y was 1.5(1.2, 2.4)GBq. Clinical and imaging data of patients before and after treatment for multimodal evaluation were collected, including MRI plain and enhanced scans, as well as diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Plain scan images were evaluated for the treatment efficacy by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1 version, while enhanced MRI was scored into 1-5 based on changes in the target area, including increased low-density range, necrotic features, and decreased enhancement. The minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC min) of DWI increased by 20% compared to baseline was determined to be responsive. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze data, and ROC curve analysis was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of different imaging modalities (Delong test). Results:All patients had baseline MRI data, 39 underwent MRI at 1-month after treatment, and 22 underwent MRI at 3-month after treatment. Based on MRI plain scan images, the target lesions showed partial remission (PR) in 10.26%(4/39) of patients, progressive disease (PD) in 5.13%(2/39) of patients, and stable disease (SD) in 84.61%(33/39) of patients at 1-month after treatment; while there were 40.91%(9/22) PR, 9.09%(2/22) PD and 50.00%(11/22) SD at 3-month after treatment. Based on DWI images, 35.90%(14/39) and 68.18%(15/22) of patients were considered responsive at 1-month and 3-month after treatment, respectively. Compared with baseline, the differences of tumor sizes, enhancement degree of target lesions and ADC min at 1-month and 3-month after treatment were statistically significant ( Z values: from -3.88 to -2.39, all P<0.05). Compared with the tumor size and enhancement degree, the AUCs of ADC min were the highest at 1-month (0.701) and 3-month (0.953) after treatment ( Z values: 0.40-2.29, all P<0.05). Conclusions:MRI plain scan, MRI enhancement and DWI are effective in the evaluation the efficacy of 90Y-SIRT for liver malignant tumors at 1-month and 3-month after treatment. ADC min is superior to tumor size and enhancement degree in diagnostic efficacy.
