Objective: To explore the association between greenness surrounding school and aggression among primary school students, and to explore the potential mediating roles of social support, loneliness, particulate matter (PM2.5) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in this association, in order to provide a scientific reference for preventing and ameliorating aggressive behaviors of primary school students. Methods: The data was used from a survey of children and adolescents conducted in 2015. The Chinese version of the Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire was used to assess total and subtypes of aggression, and the mean values of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of 100 m, 500 m, 1 000 m circular buffers surrounding school were used to indicate the participants greenness exposure. PM2.5 and NO2 datas were obtained from the China High Air Pollutants Dataset.Generalized Linear Mixed Models were used to assess the associations of greenness surrounding school with total and subtypes of aggression. Results: Per IQR increment of NDVI-500 m [OR(95%CI)=1.09(1.03-1.15)] and NDVI-1 000 m[OR(95%CI)=1.07(1.02-1.13)] were positively correlated with physical aggression among primary school children, and per IQR increment of NDVI-100 m [OR(95%CI)=0.94(0.90-0.99)], NDVI-500 m [OR(95%CI)=0.93(0.89-0.98)] and NDVI-1 000 m [OR(95%CI)=0.95(0.91-1.00)] were negatively associated with verbal aggression (P<0.05). Mediation analyses revealed that social support partially mediated the association between the NDVI-500 m and physical aggression (mediation ratio:18.0%) and verbal aggression (mediation ratio:-8.3%) among primary school students, and loneliness partially mediated the association between the NDVI-500 m and physical aggression and verbal aggression among elementary school students effects, with proportion mediated ratios of -10.0% and 21.0%, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusions Exposure to school surrounding greenness is likely to associated with physical aggression and verbal aggression in primary school students, and social support and loneliness may partially mediate these associations.

It is believed that retention due to deficient qi is an important pathogenesis of endometriosis （EMs）. Deficient qi is the root of the disease， mainly manifested as spleen deficiency， while retention is the branch pathogenesis of the disease， mainly with blood stasis， complicated with constraint， phlegm， heat， toxin and other pathological factors. Therefore， it is proposed to follow the treatment principle of supplementing deficiency and unblocking stagnation， and take the methods of replenishing qi and fortifying the spleen， removing stasis and eliminating concretions. Self-made Fuzheng Huayu Formula （扶正化瘀方） is taken as the basic formula， and can be modified with the symptoms in menstrual and non-menstrual periods. Additionally， the methods of moving qi， dispelling phlegm， clearing heat， relieving toxin and others can be combined， and it is recommended to treat the root and the branch simultaneously.

Objective To explore the mechanism of 3-methyladenine(3-MA)for alleviating early diabetic renal injury.Methods Mouse models of streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus were randomized into model group and 3-MA treatment group for daily treatments with normal saline and 10 mg/kg 3-MA by gavage for 6 weeks,respectively.Body weight and fasting blood glucose of the mice were recorded every week.After the treatments,the kidneys of the mice were collected for measurement kidney/body weight ratio,examination of glomerular size with PAS staining,and detection of α-SMA and PCNA expressions using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.SV40 MES 13 cells cultured in normal glucose(5.6 mmol/L)and high glucose(30 mmol/L)were treated with 24.4 mmol/L mannitol and 5 mmol/L 3-MA for 24 h,respectively,and the changes in cell viability and PCNA expression were examined using CCK8 assay and Western blotting.Bioinformatics analysis of the intersecting gene targets of diabetic kidney disease(DKD)and 3-MA was performed,and the results were verified by Western blotting both in vivo and in vitro.Results In the diabetic mice,treatment with 3-MA produced a short-term hypoglycemic effect,reduced the kidney/body weight ratio and glomerular hypertrophy,and decreased the expressions of α-SMA and PCNA in the renal cortex.In the in vitro study,3-MA significantly lowered the viability and reduced PCNA expression in SV40 MES 13 cells exposed to high glucose.The results of bioinformatic analysis identified AKT1 as the key gene in the therapeutic mechanism of 3-MA for DKD.Western blotting confirmed that 3-MA inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT and S6 in both the renal cortex of diabetic mice and high glucose-treated SV40 MES 13 cells.Conclusion 3-MA suppresses mesangial cell proliferation and alleviates early diabetic renal injury in mice possibly by inhibiting AKT signaling.

Objective To explore the optimal ratio of Baitong decoction based on efficacy,clarify its spectrum-effect relationship,and identify its potential quality markers.Methods An ulcerative colitis(UC)model in mice was established using dextran sulfate sodium.The efficacy of Baitong decoction with varying drug ratios was assessed by evaluating the apparent score,pathological score and inflammatory factor changes of UC in each group of experimental animals.The fingerprints of Baitong decoction with different ratios were established by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),and the relationship between the content of each substance and its efficacy was analyzed by partial least squares regression to determine the potential quality markers of Baitong decoction.Results Baitong decoction was most effective in relieving ulcerative colitis when the mass ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai was 1∶2∶2.The fingerprinting identified 14 common peaks across 7 ratios,with 9 peaks were found to be associated with the remission of ulcerative colitis by partial least squares regression analysis.Conclusion The optimal ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai for treating UC is 1∶2∶2.The spectrum-effect relationship analysis suggested that the quality markers of Baitong decoction may be the substances represented by peak 2(benzoylaconine),3,5,6,8(mesaconine),9(aconitine),10(hypaconitine),13(10-gingerol)and 14.

Objective:To explore the change in cerebral blood flow when healthy subjects swallow hot and ice water, and to verify the sensitivity of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in identifying liquid temperatures while swallowing as a basis for applying it in diagnosis and intervention.Methods:Sixteen healthy subjects swallowed hot and ice water in randomized order while the process was recorded using fNIRS. The activation at rest and when swallowing hot and ice water was compared pairwise.Results:Compared with the resting state, 19 channels were activated during the swallowing of the hot and ice water. The common activated areas were S1, M1, PMC, SMA, Wernicke′s area, the somatosensory association cortex, the visual association cortex and the frontal eye field. However, the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex was activated only when swallowing hot water, and the subcentral area was activated only when swallowing ice water. The SMA and PMC were significantly more activated when swallowing hot water than ice water.Conclusions:Multiple brain regions are activated and participate in regulating swallowing. The PMC and SMA areas can distinguish hot water from ice water swallowing.

Thymic neuroendocrine tumors (TNETs) are a series of rare diseases with aggressive biology and poor prognosis. Clinical manifestations of TNETs are atypical, and ectopic secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone can be found in some cases, resulting in associated endocrine symptoms. Due to the low morbidity and strong heterogeneity, it’s difficult to diagnose, treat and obtain new treatment regimen. Early complete surgical resection is an effective treatment. For advanced cancer, clinical trials of new drugs are expected to improve the survival of patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the underlying mechanism of Bushen Huatan prescription in alleviating postmenopausal osteoporosis （PMOP） by maintaining the balance of osteogenesis and adipogenic differentiation in ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis. MethodSeventy-five 6-month-old non-pregnant female SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group， model group， atorvastatin group， liviol group， and Bushen Huatan prescription group. Bilateral ovaries were removed in the four groups except the sham-operation group， while only the same mass of adipose tissue around the ovaries was removed in the sham-operation group. On the 5^th week after surgery， drugs were consecutively administrated for 8 weeks. Rats in the Bushen Huatan prescription group received 9.4 mg·kg^-1 of the prescription， rats in the atorvastatin group received 0.92 mg·kg^-1 of atorvastatin， rats in the Liviol group received 0.23 mg·kg^-1 of liviol， and rats in the model group and the sham-operation group received saline once a day. Micro-computed tomography （Micro CT） was used to detect bone mineral density （BMD） of rat tibia in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to detect the relative area of rat bone marrow adipose tissue （BMAT） in each group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were used to detect the relative expression levels of Runt-related transcription factor 2 （Runx2）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor （PPARγ）， leptin （LPN）， and leptin receptor （OBR） in bone tissues. ResultAs compared with the sham operation group， the BMD of rats in the model group decreased （P<0.05）， while the relative area of BMAT increased （P<0.05）. In addition， the expression levels of LPN， OBR， and Runx2 decreased in the model group （P<0.05）， while the level of PPARγ increased （P<0.05）. As compared with the model group， the BMD of rats in the atorvastatin group， the Livial group， and the Bushen Huatan prescription group increased （P<0.05）， and the relative area of BMAT decreased （P<0.05）. The expression levels of LPN， OBR， and Runx2 in these groups increased （P<0.05）， while the expression level of PPARγ decreased （P<0.05）. ConclusionBushen Huatan prescription plays the anti-osteoporosis role in the rat model of PMOP through up-regulating LPN and OBR in bone tissues and maintaining the balance of osteogenesis and adipogenic differentiation， thereby reducing postmenopausal bone loss and playing a role in the prevention and treatment of PMOP.

Objective To identify the risk factors of corneal endothelial cell injury caused by phacoemulsification, so as to provide the evidence for formulating interventions for prevention of corneal endothelial cell injury among cataract patients. Methods A total 248 eyes from 212 cataract patients that underwent phacoemulsification were selected as study subjects. The associations of subjects’ age, gender, left/right eye, pupillary diameter, grades of lens nucleus hardness, duration of phacoemulsification, total ultrasound energy, total infusion fluid amount with endothelial cell loss were evaluated using univariate analysis, and the independent risk factors for corneal endothelial cell injury caused by phacoemulsification were identified using multiple linear regression analysis. Results The density of endothelial cells was (2282.4 ± 412.16) cells/mm² prior to phacoemulsification and (1921.77 ± 125.46) cells/mm² months after phacoemulsification in 239 affected eyes, and the proportion of endothelial hexagonal cells was (54.41 ± 7.22)% prior to phacoemulsification and (45.62 ± 3.58)% months after phacoemulsification (χ² = 5.43, P < 0.05). The incidence of corneal endothelial cell injury was 15.5% in 239 affected eyes. Univariate analysis showed that advanced age, small pupillary diameter, long duration of phacoemulsification, high grades of lens nucleus hardness and high total ultrasound energy were associated with endothelial cell loss, while gender and surgical eyes (left or right eye) were not associated with endothelial cell loss. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that high grades of lens nucleus hardness, high total infusion fluid amount, long duration of phacoemulsification and high total ultrasound energy were independent risk factors for endothelial cell loss. Conclusions Lens nucleus hardness, high totalinfusion fluid amount, long duration of phacoemulsification and high total ultrasound energy are independent risk factors for endothelial cell loss caused by phacoemulsification.
