Objective:
To understand the impact of left behind experience on the mental health of secondary vocational school students, so as to provide theoretical basis for the psychological health education of secondary vocational school students.
Methods:
From September to December in 2019, a total of 3 401 students from Duyun, Guiding and Pingtang County were selected by multi stage cluster random sampling method. Self designed questionnaire and Symptom Check List-90(SCL-90) were used to investigate mental health status. A total of 1 415 left behind students and 1 415 non left behind students were matched by using propensity score matching (PSM). Wilcoxon test and Logistic regression analysis were conducted.
Results:
Before the matching of propensity score, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of family structure, mother s educational level, family residence,family harmony and children s past health among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=28.17, 52.40, 96.31, 29.75 , 19.10, P <0.05). After the matching, there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of the above variables among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=0.02-4.32, P >0.05). Before the matching of propensity scores, there were significant differences in the scores of 10 dimensions of SCL-90, including somatization (1.67,1.58), interpersonal sensitivity (2.00,1.89), anxiety (1.90,1.70), obsessive compulsive symptoms (2.20, 2.10), depression (2.00, 1.85), hostility (1.83, 1.67), terror (1.85, 1.71), paranoia (1.83, 1.67), psychotic (1.70, 1.60) and other (1.85, 1.71) dimensions among secondary vocational school students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-5.15 to -2.84, P <0.05). After propensity score matching, there were significant differences in scores remained only in three factors for interpersonal sensitivity [(2.00(1.56,2.67),2.00(1.44,2.56)], paranoia [1.83(1.33,2.50),1.83(1.33,2.33)] and psychoticism [1.70(1.30,2.30),1.70(1.20,2.20)] in SCL- 90 among secondary vocational students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-2.45, -2.12, -2.23, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The impact of left behind experience on the mental health of vocational school students is mainly reflected in interpersonal sensitivity, paranoia, and psychoticism, which should be identified as key areas of psychological education for secondary vocational school students.

Concepts are the cornerstone of the development of disciplines. The concepts of TCM present that a superior concept contains more subordinate concepts. The superordinate concepts are often used to refer to different subordinate concepts, which can refer to both superior concepts themselves and non-specific subordinate concepts, that is, the characteristics of subordinate coverage and indefinite reference, which cause confusion in concept meaning, concept relationships, reasoning logic, and other problems. Nowadays, the TCM scholars pay little attention to this characteristic. Therefore, this article analyzed this characteristic, discussed its impact on the inheritance and development of TCM, and proposed that starting from the anchoring of concepts and entities to clarify the connotation of concepts, looking forward to provide new ideas for the definition of the concepts of TCM and the development of the discipline.

BACKGROUND:
This study aimed to explore the effect of a nanomaterial-based miR-320a inhibitor sustained release system in trauma-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (TIONFH).
METHODS:
The miR-320a inhibitor-loaded polyethylene glycol (PEG)- Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)- Poly-L-lysine (PLL) nanoparticles were constructed using the double emulsion method. The TIONFH rabbit model was established to observe the effects of miR-320a inhibitor nanoparticles in vivo. Hematoxylin–eosin staining and microcomputed tomography scanning were used for bone morphology analysis. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), derived from TIONFH rabbits, were used for in vitro experiments. Cell viability was determined using the MTT assay.
RESULTS:
High expression of miR-320a inhibited the osteogenic differentiation capacity of BMSCs in vitro by inhibiting the expression of the osteoblastic differentiation markers ALP and RUNX2. MiR-320a inhibitor-loaded PEG-PLGA-PLL nanoparticles were constructed with a mean loading efficiency of 1.414 ± 0.160%, and a mean encapsulation efficiency of 93.45 ± 1.24%, which released 50% of the loaded miR-320a inhibitor at day 12 and 80% on day 18. Then, inhibitor release entered the plateau. After treatment with the miR-320a inhibitor nanoparticle, the empty lacunae were decreased in the femoral head tissue of TIONFH rabbits, and the osteoblast surface/bone surface (Ob.S/BS), osteoblast number/bone perimeter (Ob.N/B.Pm), bone volume fraction, and bone mineral density increased. Additionally, the expression of osteogenic markers RUNX2 and ALP was significantly elevated in the TIONFH rabbit model.
CONCLUSION
The miR-320a inhibitor-loaded PEG-PLGA-PLL nanoparticle sustained drug release system significantly contributed to bone regeneration in the TIONFH rabbit model, which might be a promising strategy for the treatment of TIONFH.

Objective To investigate the effect of fibulin-3 on the senescence of intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells(NPCs)through the regulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3(TIMP-3)expression and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved.Methods 1).The nucleus pulposus tissues and imaging data of 37 patients who had undergone intervertebral disc surgery were collected.The degree of degeneration of the intervertebral discs were classified according to the Pfirrmann grading system.The senescence degree of NPCs was determined using senescence-associated β-galactosidase(SA-β-gal)staining.Fibulin-3 expression levels were determined using Western blot and ELISA.The relationship between fibulin-3 and disc degeneration and NPCs senescence was investigated.2).Human intervertebral disc NPCs were cultured in vitro.The proliferation and senescence of NPC across continuous passage were observed via CCK-8 assay and SA-β-gal staining,respectively.Fibulin-3 expression levels and the expression of inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases were assessed.Exogenous fibulin-3 was added to verify its effect on the proliferation and senescence of NPCs.3).The effect of fibulin-3 on the apoptosis and proliferation of NPCs was verified through gene overexpression,which was used in combination with an apoptosis inhibitor for bidirectional verification.4).Bioinformatics analysis was performed to explore the relationship between fibulin-3 and the TIMP family.Experiments overexpressing fibulin-3 and silencing the TIMP-3 gene were performed to verify their role in NPCs senescence.Results 1).The intervertebral disc degeneration samples from 37 patients were classified according to the Pfirrmann grading system.The higher the degeneration grade,the lower fibulin-3 expression.Spearman correlation analysis showed that the disc grade was negatively correlated with the NPC senescence grade(r=-0.87,P<0.001)and fibulin-3 expression(r=-0.79,P<0.001).2).As the passage number of NPCs increased,fibulin-3 expression gradually decreased,cell proliferation ability weakened,and the expression of inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases increased.After exogenous fibulin-3 was added,cell morphology and growth status were maintained,cell senescence was significantly inhibited,and the expression of inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases was markedly reduced.3).Gene overexpression experiments showed that fibulin-3 reduced NPC apoptosis and promoted cell proliferation,thereby inhibiting NPC senescence.4).Bioinformatics analysis revealed a significant association between fibulin-3 and TIMP-3 of the TIMP family.Further experiments confirmed that overexpressing fibulin-3 enhanced TIMP-3 expression,while silencing the TIMP-3 gene significantly weakened the inhibitory effect of fibulin-3 on NPCs senescence.This indicates that,through regulating TIMP-3,fibulin-3 inhibits the activity of matrix metalloproteinases,affects the synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix,and ultimately inhibits NPCs senescence.Conclusion This study demonstrates that fibulin-3 plays a crucial role in inhibiting the senescence of intervertebral disc NPCs by regulating TIMP-3.The specific mechanisms involved are as follows,fibulin-3 upregulates TIMP-3 expression,inhibits matrix metalloproteinase activity,and reduces extracellular matrix degradation,thereby promoting extracellular matrix synthesis.Additionally,fibulin-3 inhibits NPCs senescence by reducing apoptosis and promoting cell proliferation.Therefore,fibulin-3 and TIMP-3 have potential therapeutic significance in maintaining intervertebral disc health and delaying degeneration.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between triglyceride-glucose(TyG) index and vascular cognitive impairment(VCI) in elderly patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).Methods:A total of 275 patients with CSVD aged 60 years or above admitted in the Department of Neurology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from August 2019 to March 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective study. According to the cognitive function assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), patients were divided into VCI group (187 cases) and non-VCI group (88 cases). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to assess the value of TyG index in predicting VCI. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze the correlation between TyG index and VCI.Results:TyG index was higher in the VCI group than that in non-VCI group (9.07±0.54 vs. 8.70±0.55, t = 5.24, P<0.01). The area of ROC curve (AUC) of TyG index for predicting VCI was 0.70 (95% CI:0.64-0.77, P<0.01); taking 8.78 as the optimal cut-off point, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.754 (141/187) and 0.614(54/88), respectively. The proportion of VCI patients in high TyG index group (≥8.78) was higher than that in low TyG index group (<8.78) [141 (80.6%) vs. 46 (46.0%), χ2=34.95, P<0.01]. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, level of education, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), homocysteine (Hcy), uric acid (UA) and total CSVD burden, TyG index was an independent risk factor of VCI ( OR=2.42, 95% CI: 1.37-4.29, P<0.01); and compared to patients with low TyG index (<8.78) the risk of VCI was increased for patients with high TyG index (≥8.78) ( OR=4.09, 95% CI: 2.18-7.68, P<0.01). Conclusion:TyG index is associated with VCI in elderly patients with CSVD, which may be used as a predictor of VCI for those patients.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effects of sphingosine kinase-2 (SphK2) on the function of activated astrocytes and the progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice.Methods:Primary mouse astrocytes were isolated from wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice and sphk2 gene knock-out ( sphk2 -/-) mice and stimulated in vitro with interleukin 17 (IL-17). Real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines at mRNA levels. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3). An EAE mouse model was constructed using myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55 (MOG 35-55) polypeptide. Western blot was used to detect the expression of GFAP and p-STAT3 at protein level and real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines at mRNA level in spinal cords. Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) and Luxol fast blue (LFB) staining were used to observe the changes in inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination in spinal cords. Results:Compared with the WT group, the phosphorylation of STAT3 was obviously reduced in in vitro activated mouse astrocytes of sphk2 -/- mice, and the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines including monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), TNF-α and IL-6 at mRNA level was also significantly decreased. Compared with the WT EAE group, changes in the above-mentioned cytokines and relative proteins in sphk2 -/- EAE mice in vivo were similar to those in vitro. Moreover, inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination were significantly reduced in spinal cords of sphk2 -/- EAE mice. However, no significant difference in in vitro or in vivo GFAP expression was observed between WT and sphk2 -/- mice. Conclusions:SphK2 might regulate the function of reactive astrocytes through STAT3 molecular pathway, thereby regulating the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and participating in the pathological process of EAE.
