Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance， while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition， demonstrating eight distinct advantages， including systematic theoretical foundation， diversified therapeutic approaches， definite therapeutic efficacy， high safety profile， good patient compliance， comprehensive intervention strategies， emphasis on prevention， and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally， TCM is characterized by six distinctive features： the use of natural medicinal substances， non-invasive external therapies， integration of medicinal dietetics， simple exercise regimens， precise syndrome differentiation， and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments， TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation， demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators， regulating constitutional imbalance， and promoting healthy behaviors. However， challenges remain， such as inconsistent operational standards， insufficient high-quality clinical evidence， and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment， conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials， and fostering interdisciplinary integration， so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

Objective:To explore the application of machine learning (ML) models based on radiomics and dosiomics to the assessment of hematologic toxicity (HT) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, and to preliminarily explore the comprehensive application of multi-omics features.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data, planning computed tomography (CT) images, and dose files of 205 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, from January 2022 to June 2023. Patients were categorized according to the severity of HT. Radiomics and dosiomics features were extracted from the same regions of interest (ROIs), followed by feature selection utilizing a random forest algorithm. Then, radiomics, dosiomics, and hybrid models were established based on extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). The classification performance of these models was assessed by calculating their sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).Results:The radiomics model yielded sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 0.42, 0.86, and 0.78, respectively. The dosiomics model exhibited sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 0.50, 0.90, and 0.74, respectively. In contrast, the hybrid model achieved sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 0.50, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. These findings suggest that the hybrid model possessed an enhanced classification capability compared to the individual radiomics and dosiomics models.Conclusions:It is feasible to use ML models based on radiomics and dosiomics to conduct the classification and prediction of HT in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Furthermore, integrating both radiomics features and dosiomics features can improve the classification performance of relevant prediction models, thus holding application potentials to optimize treatment strategies for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of abscisic acid(ABA)in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease(PD)mouse models.Methods Eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups,control group(Ctrl),MPTP group,and MPTP+ABA group,12 mice in each group.Except for the control group,mice in the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with MPTP 25 mg/kg daily for 8 consecutive days to establish a subacute PD model.The MPTP+ABA group received intraperitoneal injections of ABA 25 mg/kg daily for 11 consecutive days,starting 3 days prior to MPTP administration.Behavioral tests were performed 24 hours after the last administration.On day 3,the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)in the substantia nigra pars compacta(SNc)and striatum(STR)was analyzed by Western blotting,and mRNA levels of inflammatory factors were measured by Real-time PCR.Immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the expression of TH,GFAP,and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1(Iba1).Results Compared with the control group,MPTP-treated mice exhibited impaired motor function,a reduced number of TH-positive dopaminergic neurons in the SNc,down-regulated TH protein expression in both the SNc and striatum,up-regulated GFAP protein expression,increased numbers of GFAP-and Iba1-positive cells,and elevated levels of pro-inflammatory factors.In contrast,the MPTP+ABA group showed improved motor function,increased TH-positive neurons in the SNc,up-regulated TH protein expression,down-regulated GFAP protein expression,reduced numbers of GFAP-and Iba1-positive cells,and decreased pro-inflammatory factor levels compared to the MPTP group.Conclusion ABA ameliorates motor dysfunction in MPTP-induced PD model mice,reduces degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons in the SNc,suppresses the proliferation and activation of astrocytes and microglia in the SNc and striatum,and alleviates neuroinflammation.These results suggest that ABA exerts neuroprotective effects in MPTP-induced PD model mice.

Objective·To compare the safety and short-term outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic-assisted proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy in the treatment of early upper gastric cancer.Methods·A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical and pathological data of 31 early gastric cancer patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy for gastrointestinal reconstruction at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery,Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,from September 2023 to March 2024.Based on the surgical approach,patients were divided into the robot-assisted surgery group(robotic group,20 cases)and the laparoscope-assisted surgery group(laparoscopic group,11 cases).General clinical data,intraoperative conditions,and postoperative recovery between the two groups were compared.At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,upper gastrointestinal radiography and esophagogastroscopy were performed to assess anastomotic stricture and gastroesophageal reflux disease.Additionally,the gastric cancer-specific module of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC),Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach 22(QLQ-STO22),was used to evaluate the patients' quality of life.Results·The general data of the two groups,including gender,age,preoperative comorbidities,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)classification,Siewert classification,and pathological staging of tumors,showed no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).All patients successfully underwent the procedure without conversion to open surgery.The time for gastroesophageal anastomosis was significantly shorter in the robotic group compared to the laparoscopic group[(31.09±8.23)min vs(43.73±8.83)min,P<0.001],while there were no statistically significant differences in other intraoperative and postoperative parameters,including operative time,intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph nodes removed,duration of gastric tube placement,time to start a liquid diet,length of postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of postoperative complications(all P>0.05).At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,30 patients completed the follow-up,with one patient lost to follow-up in the robotic group.Upper gastrointestinal radiography and esophagogastroscopy results showed that only one patient in the laparoscopic group developed an anastomotic stricture,while one patient in the robotic group developed grade A and one developed grade B gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).In addition,one patient in the laparoscopic group also developed grade B GERD.The incidences of GERD and anastomotic stricture showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups(both P>0.05).EORTC QLQ-STO22 results indicated that the robotic group had significantly lower scores in the dimensions of dysphagia,gastroesophageal reflux,and dietary restrictions,as well as in the total score,compared to the laparoscopic group(all P<0.05).Conclusion·Robot-assisted proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy is safe and feasible.It shortens anastomosis time and offers potential advantages in postoperative functional recovery and quality of life improvement.

Objective To explore limb coordination patterns and energy flow strategies during the sit-to-stand(STS)transition in individuals with patellofemoral pain(PFP),so as to provide a theoretical evidence for the pathogenesis of PFP and subsequent formulation of treatment and rehabilitation strategies for PFP patients.Methods A totoal of 36 participants was recruited for the STS test.They were divided into the unilateral PFP group(unilateral group),bilateral PFP group(bilateral group),and control group,based on the number of limbs affected by PFP.An infrared motion capture system and a three-dimensioanl force plate were used for motion capture.Visual 3D and Matlab software were used to calculate the trunk and pelvis angles,angular velocities,linear velocities,and proximal and distal joint forces.Additionally,the angles,torques,and joint forces of the hip,knee,and ankle joints,along with the angular and linear velocities of the thigh and shank,were computed.Coupling angles was used to represent coordination patterns via vector coding;the segmental net energy integration method was used to calculate energy flow within segments at each stage.Results For the coordination pattern at frontal plane,the proximal coordination mode frequency of the pelvis-hip coordination in the flexion momentum phase(FMP)was higher in unilateral group than that in bilateral group(P=0.024).In the momentum transfer phase(MTP),the frequency of in-phase coordination in the trunk-pelvis coordination was higher in unilateral group than that in bilateral group(P=0.023),while the frequency of distal coordination was higher in control group than in that in unilateral group(P=0.032).For the knee-ankle coordination pattern,the frequency of distal coordination in control group was lower than that in unilateral and bilateral groups(P=0.025,P=0.005).In segmental energy flow,during the FMP,the energy output from the pelvis during extension phase(MP)was higher in bilateral group than that in control group(P=0.021).Conclusions PFP affects energy flow patterns and coordination patterns at frontal plane during the STS transition.Individuals in unilateral group may engage in lateral pelvic and ankle movements as a dynamic compensation for patellofemoral joint pressure,whereas individuals in bilateral group appear to increase pelvic region energy output and employ a more complex whole-body coordination pattern to compensate for functional deficits in the knee caused by PFP.

Radiation-induced thrombocytopenia(RIT)faces a perplexing challenge in the clinical treatment of cancer patients,and current therapeutic approaches are inadequate in the clinical settings.In this research,oxy-matrine,a new molecule capable of healing RIT was screened out,and the underlying regulatory mecha-nism associated with magakaryocyte(MK)differentiation and thrombopoiesis was demonstrated.The capacity of oxymatrine to induce MK differentiation was verified in K-562 and Meg-01 cells in vitro.The ability to induce thrombopoiesis was subsequently demonstrated in Tg(cd41:enhanced green fluorescent protein(eGFP))zebrafish and RIT model mice.In addition,we carried out network pharmacological pre-diction,drug affinity responsive target stability assay(DARTS)and cellular thermal shift assay(CETSA)analyses to explore the potential targets of oxymatrine.Moreover,the pathway underlying the effects of oxymatrine was determined by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses,Western blot(WB),and immunofluorescence.Oxymatrine markedly promoted MK differentiation and maturation in vitro.Moreover,oxymatrine induced thrombopoiesis in Tg(cd41:eGFP)zebrafish and accelerated thrombopoiesis and platelet function recovery in RIT model mice.Mechanistically,oxymatrine directly binds to toll-like receptor 2(TLR2)and further regulates the downstream pathway stimulator of interferon genes(STING)/nuclear factor-kappaB(NF-κB),which can be blocked by C29 and C-176,which are specific inhibitors of TLR2 and STING,respectively.Taken together,we demonstrated that oxymatrine,a novel TLR2 agonist,plays a critical role in accelerating MK differentiation and thrombopoiesis via the STING/NF-κB axis,suggesting that oxymatrine is a promising candidate for RIT therapy.
