ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which the Shenfu Xiongze prescription regulates autophagy in rats with myocardial remodeling through the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway. MethodsA rat model of myocardial remodeling induced by isoprenaline （ISO） was established. Rats were divided into the blank group，the model group，the low-，medium-， and high-dose groups of Shenfu Xiongze prescription，and the captopril group， 6 rats in each group. Except for the blank group，the rat model of myocardial remodeling was established in the other groups by intraperitoneal injection of 2.5 mg·kg^-1 ISO for 3 consecutive weeks. At the same time of modeling， the low-，medium-， and high-dose groups of Shenfu Xiongze prescription were administered the corresponding doses of Shenfu Xiongze prescription solution （8.4，16.8，and 33.6 g·kg^-1），and the captopril group was administered captopril solution （25 mg·kg^-1）. As for the blank group and the model group， the same volume of normal saline was given. The treatment was continued for 3 weeks. Echocardiography was used to observe the cardiac structure and function，and the heart weight index was detected. Masson staining and hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining were used to observe the pathological morphology changes of myocardial tissue. The levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6） and B-type natriuretic peptide （BNP） in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expression of type Ⅰ collagen （Collagen Ⅰ），type Ⅲ collagen （Collagen Ⅲ），and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 （LC3） proteins in myocardial tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry. Autophagy was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The mRNA expression of Collagen Ⅰ，Collagen Ⅲ，α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA），LC3，yeast Atg6 homolog protein （Beclin-1），AMPK，and mTOR in myocardial tissue was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （real-time PCR）. The protein expression of Collagen Ⅰ，α-SMA，transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁），LC3，Beclin-1，p62， phosphorylation（p）-AMPK，p-mTOR，AMPK，and mTOR was detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group，rats in the model group exhibited significantly decreased values of ejection fraction （EF） and left ventricular fractional shortening （FS） （P<0.01）， significantly increased values of left ventricular end-diastolic diameter （LVIDd） and left ventricular end-systolic diameter （LVIDs） （P<0.01）. Additionally， the model group also showed increased degrees of inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis of myocardial tissue， significantly elevated levels of serum IL-6 and BNP （P<0.01）， significantly increased mRNA and protein levels of Collagen Ⅰ，Collagen Ⅲ，α-SMA，and mTOR （P<0.01），and markedly decreased mRNA and protein levels of LC3，Beclin-1，and AMPK （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the low-，medium-， and high-dose groups of Shenfu Xiongze prescription presented significantly elevated EF and FS values （P<0.01） and lowered LVIDd and LVIDs （P<0.05）. In these groups， the inflammation and fibrosis were alleviated significantly. They also exhibited decreased serum levels of IL-6 and BNP （P<0.01）， significantly reduced protein expression of Collagen Ⅰ， α-SMA， TGF-β₁， p62， and p-mTOR （P<0.01）， significantly decreased mRNA expression of Collagen Ⅰ， Collagen Ⅲ， α-SMA， and mTOR （P<0.01）， and significantly increased mRNA and protein levels of LC3， Beclin-1， and AMPK （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionThe Shenfu Xiongze prescription can improve the myocardial remodeling induced by ISO in rats by regulating the autophagy level，enhance cardiac function，and reduce inflammatory and fibrotic levels. This effect may be achieved through the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effect of bed board of carbon fiber for treatment combined with fixed bottom board on verification results of Portal Dosimetry(PD)dose of intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)plan of fixed field for cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 15 patients with cervical cancer who admitted to Nanjing First Hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were retrospectively selected,and the IMRT plans of fixed field for all patients were designed.The radiation field with 180° gantry angle was selected for each case to make the corresponding PD dose verification plan,and each verification plan included two subfields:AA180_0 and AA180_1.Three types of materials were placed between the accelerator head and the electronic portal imaging device(EPID),which included material without carbon fiber,bed board with carbon fiber for treatment,and the combination of the bed board with carbon fiber for treatment and the fixed bottom board with carbon fiber,when the Clinac iX accelerator was used to conduct verification plan for each case.The γ passing rates of the subfields(AA180_0 and AA180_1)and the total field(AA180)among three kinds of conditions,which included material without carbon fiber,bed board with carbon fiber for treatment,and the combination of the bed board with carbon fiber for treatment and the fixed bottom board with carbon fiber,were compared and analyzed.Results:For the subfield AA180_0,the γ passing rates under three different material conditions were respectively(96.09±1.38)%,(90.48±2.24)%and(81.85±2.46)%.For the subfield AA180_1,the γ passing rates under the above conditions were respectively(96.05±1.06)%,(91.86±2.22)%and(86.26±2.74)%.For the total field AA180,the γ passing rates were respectively(90.78±1.40)%,(84.82±2.56)%and(78.49±3.18)%.The γ passing rates of the subfield AA180_0,subfield AA180_1,and the total field AA180 showed statistically significant differences among the three different material conditions(F=177.80,80.00,91.42,P<0.01).Compared with materials without carbon fiber,the γ passing rate of the total field AA180 of the combination of the bed board with carbon fiber for treatment and the fixed bottom board with carbon fiber significantly decreased by 12.29%.Conclusion:In the PD dose verification of IMRT for cervical cancer,the bed board with carbon fiber for treatment combined with the fixed bottom board will produce adverse effect for the verification results.The effect of the single use of bed board for treatment is relatively small.The combined use of the bed board with carbon fiber for treatment and the fixed bottom board will lead to a significant deterioration in the verification result of PD dose.

Objective To propose a novel method for verifying the isocenter in radiotherapy based on markers and conduct a preliminary test. Methods A feasibility experiment was conducted on wooden box phantom for radiotherapy resetting. Fifteen groups of displacement data were randomly generated,corresponding to the position deviations of the isocenter in the radiotherapy plan relative to the original isocenter. According to each set of displacement data,with the aid of movable lasers and a CT scanning couch,CT scanning was performed with two sets of markers (3 per set) affixed to the phantom which were corresponding to the original and treatment isocenters,respectively. In the Eclipse treatment planning system,the coordinate data of the original and treatment isocenters were manually verified,and the difference of coordinate data was calculated to obtain the actual displacement value. The treatment isocenter position was finally confirmed by comparing with the actual displacement. In addition,the study attempts to use threshold segmentation algorithm to automatically detect metal markers and obtain coordinate values of the original isocenter on patient-positioned CT images. In the wooden box experiment,the absolute value of the difference between the actual displacement value and the planned displacement value (?d) was used to represent the position accuracy of treatment isocenter,and the deviation value obtained with threshold segmentation algorithm for isocenter detection was ?s. Results The ?d in the X (left-right),Y (superior-inferior) and Z (anterior-superior) directions was (0.83±0.37) mm,0 (0,0.5) mm and (0.45±0.29) mm,respectively. The ?s in the X,Y and Z directions was (0.46±0.22) mm,0 (0,0.5) mm and (0.33±0.29) mm,respectively. The mean values of ?s in 3 directions were all lower than 2 mm,within the range of permissible clinical positioning error. Conclusion The method of automatically verifying treatment isocenter position based on markers is feasible,and the study provides a useful reference for radiotherapy resetting using CT simulator.

Objective To systematically analyze international and domestic policy frameworks regarding college students'physical activity and the psychological and behavioral health,and to explore representative theoretical models of how physical activity promoting psychological and behavioral health.Methods Thematic analysis and theoretical research methods were employed to examine WHO's Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030:More Active People for a Healthier World,EU's Health-enhancing Physical Activity(HEPA)Policy Audit Tool(PAT):version 2,American College of Sports Medicine's Guidelines for Exercise Test-ing and Prescription,Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth,and China's Opinions on Strengthening School Sports to Promote the Comprehensive Development of Students'Physical and Mental Health,Guidelines for Mental Health Education in Higher Education Institutions,Healthy China Initiative(2019-2030)and Special Action Plan for Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving Student Mental Health Work in the New Era(2023-2025).Four theoretical models were analyzed including self-determination theory(SDT),the-ory of planned behavior(TPB),broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions,and theoretical framework of ac-ceptability(TFA).Results The international paradigm shifted from focusing on energy consumption to attaching importance of mental health.The population transformed from extensive management to precise intervention.The intervention meth-ods were characteristic of technological integration and system innovation.The assessment system transformed from single-dimension to comprehensive monitoring.The monitoring and evaluation was developing to digitali-zation and collaboration.Chinese policies particularly emphasized the strategic orientations of Strengthening Mind through Physical Activity and Five Ways of Education,stressing daily physical activity and enhancing the mental health service system for college students.SDT highlighted the critical role of intrinsic motivation and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs for sustained participation in physical activity.TPB focused on the pre-dictive effect of attitudes,subjective norms and perceived behavioral control on behavioral intentions and subse-quent behavior.The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions elucidated how physical activity elicitsed pos-itive emotions,which in turn broaden individuals'thought-action repertoires and build lasting personal resources.TFA analyzed the impact of physical activity from the perspectives of affective attitude,burden,opportunity costs,intervention coherence,self-efficacy,perceived effectiveness and ethicality.Conclusion There is a pivotal role of physical activity in fostering college students'mental and behavioral health.The potential areas for optimization of policies have been identified.SDT,TPB,the broaden-and-build theory of posi-tive emotions,and TFA models can explain and guide physical activity promotion among college students.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic influencing factors in young breast cancer patients.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 408 young patients with breast cancer in the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2005 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics and prognostic influencing factors of patients were observed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients. Univariate analysis of prognostic factors was conducted by using the log-rank test, and multivariate analysis was performed by using Cox proportional risk model.Results:The median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 408 young female patients with breast cancer was 36 (33, 39) years; the 5-year OS and 5-year DFS rates were 89.9%, 84.0% of 387 breast cancer patients in early and middle stage (except for stage Ⅳ). There were statistically significant differences in the 5-year OS and 5-year DFS rates (excluding stage Ⅳ of DFS) of patients with different clinical staging and molecular subtypes (all P < 0.05). The differences were statistically significant in the 5-year DFS rate of patients with different pathological types and histological grades (all P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the 5-year OS and DFS rates between the patients receiving breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy (all P > 0.05). The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that clinical staging ( HR = 3.121, 95% CI: 2.301-4.233, P < 0.001) and molecular classification ( HR = 1.441, 95% CI: 1.126-1.845, P = 0.004) were independent prognostic factors for OS. Additionally, clinical staging ( HR = 3.001, 95% CI: 2.174-4.141, P < 0.001) was identified as an independent prognostic factor for DFS. Conclusions:The prognosis of young breast cancer patients is closely related to clinical staging and molecular subtype. The later the clinical stage is, the poorer prognosis is. Luminal-type breast cancer has a better prognosis than other subtypes. For early-stage breast cancer patients who meet the criteria for breast-conserving surgery, breast-conserving surgery is the first-choice alternative.

Objective:To investigate the differences in protein profile expression in serum samples from children with corona virus disease 2019（COVID-19）related encephalopathy and to explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods:From December 1,2022 to January 31,2023,28 children with COVID-19 who were admitted to the Department of Pediatric Intensive Medicine at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were collected,including 21 patients with encephalopathy(COVID-19 with encephalopathy group) and seven patients without encephalopathy(COVID-19 without encephalopathy group).Three children from each group were selected for serum proteomic analysis using tandem mass spectrometry labeling proteomics technology.Proteins were considered significantly different if the fold change was >1.2 or <0.8，with P<0.05.Bioinformatics analysis，including Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Pathway Enrichment were performed on differentially expressed proteins.Protein-protein interaction networks were analyzed using the STRING database.Selected proteins were further validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbert assay. Results:A total of 41 differentially expressed proteins were identified between the two groups.Among these，14 proteins were upregulated and 27 proteins were downregulated in COVID-19 patients with encephalopathy compared to those without encephalopathy.Bioinformatics analysis revealed that these proteins were primarily enriched in critical signaling pathways，including complement and coagulation regulation，neutrophil degranulation and activation，and platelet degranulation.Enzyme-linked immunosorbert assay validation confirmed significant differences in key coagulation-regulating proteins(von willebrand factor upregulated，serpin family F member 2 downregulated in COVID-19 patients with encephalopatly）between the two groups.Conclusion:Coagulation dysfunction may play a role in the development of COVID-19 associated encephalopathy in children，providing valuable insights for future research.

This article reported two cases of congenital myotonic dystrophy. Case 1 was a premature infant born at 35 weeks of gestation, with severe asphyxia as the initial manifestation. After admission, the infant had limited spontaneous activity, low muscle tone, weak spontaneous respiration, inability to swallow independently, and bilateral talipes equinovarus. The initial diagnosis was neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. However, clinical observation suggested the possibility of other diseases and genetic testing indicated that the number of CTG trinucleotide repeats in the DMPK gene was>150 times, suggesting a high possibility that the child's mother was also affected, but remained undiagnosed due to lack of testing. Case 2 was a full-term infant born at 37 weeks and 1 day of gestation, who presented with asphyxia and dyspnea initially. It also presented with limited spontaneous activity, low muscle tone, weak respiration, and bilateral talipes equinovarus, which was highly similar to the clinical situation of Case 1. The genes of the child and his mother were tested, and the results showed that the number of CTG trinucleotide repeats in the DMPK gene was >150 times for both. Both children died within a few hours after being discharged from the hospital due to the family's decision to abandon treatment.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) presents with a diverse range of symptoms that can affect the skin, bones, eyes, central nervous system, and other organs. This article reports the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with NF1 complicated by bilateral severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous variant of NF1 NM_ 000267.3: c.4054_ 4058del(p.Ser1352LeufsTer20, supporting the diagnosis of NF1. After thorough evaluation, a right cochlear implantation was performed, yielding satisfactory postoperative results. This case suggests that NF1 patients may exhibit phenotypic heterogeneity and atypicality, providing a reference for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of such patients.
