The objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect and possible related mechanisms of Sophora subprostrate polysaccharide(SSP)on intestinal epithelial cell injury in-duced by Tert-Butyl hydroperoxide(TBHP).The optimal dose of TBHP and the safe concentra-tion range of SSP were determined using the MTT method.In this study,IPEC-J2 cells were divid-ed into five groups:the control group,the model group,the SSPL group,the SSPM group and the SSPH group,and the cell morphology,cell survival rate and LDH release rate were observed and measured.The content of intracellular reactive ROS was observed and determined by DCFH-DA staining.The content of MDA in the supernatant and the antioxidant index of cells were determined by the reagent kit.Transcriptome technology was employed to analyze the potential mechanisms by which SSP mitigates oxidative damage in IPEC-J2 cells.The results showed that treatment with 625 μmol/L TBHP for 2 h significantly reduced the activity of IPEC-J2 cells,markedly increased LDH release(P<0.05),inhibited CAT superoxide SOD and glutathione GPX activities(P<0.05),and significantly elevated MDA and ROS levels(P<0.05).Compared to the model group,after SSP treatment,intracellular ROS levels were significantly reduced(P<0.05),while CAT,SOD,and GPX activities were significantly increased(P<0.05),and MDA content and LDH re-lease were significantly decreased(P<0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.Transcriptome analysis revealed that TBHP treatment significantly altered the transcriptional profiles of IPEC-J2 cells,while SSP treatment could restore the transcriptional profiles of the damaged cells to a certain ex-tent.Gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)indicated that the differentially expressed genes between the CC and TBHP groups were significantly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ribosome,and other pathways.Meanwhile,the differentially expressed genes between the SSP and TBHP groups were mainly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ap-optosis,glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism,and other pathways.These results suggest that TBHP may disrupt normal oxidative respiration in IPEC-J2 cells by affecting oxidative phospho-rylation and interfering with metabolism pathways involving glycine,serine,and threonine,leading to oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells.Conversely,SSP treatment may potentially restore oxidative phosphorylation processes,alleviate lysosomal damage,reduce cell apoptosis,and miti-gate oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells through modulation of oxidative phosphoryla-tion,apoptosis,and lysosomal pathways.This discovery provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of SSP in alleviating oxidative damage in the porcine intestinal tract.

Objective:To investigate the association of serum levels of intelectin-1(ITLN-1),N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2)with coronary ar-tery disease severity in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:A total of 269 patients suspected of AMI admitted in Yulin Xingyuan Hospital between January 2021 and January 2024 were retrospectively enrolled.According to coronary angiography combined with examination of clinical symptoms,137 patients were diagnosed with AMI(AMI group)and the remaining 132 cases were included in control group.Serum ITLN-1,NT-proB-NP,and Lp-PLA2 levels were compared between AMI group and control group;Logistic regression was used to ex-plore the factors associated with AMI.A nomogram model was constructed based on the factors of AMI.Serum ITLN-1,NT-proBNP and Lp-PLA2 levels were compared among AMI patients with different coronary artery disease severity,and their association with coronary artery disease severity was analyzed by Pearson correlation coef-ficient.Results:Serum ITLN-1 level was significantly lower,and serum levels of NT-proBNP and Lp-PLA2 were significantly higher in AMI group compared to control group(P<0.001 all).Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that ITLN-1(OR=0.971,95%CI 0.945~0.998,P=0.032)was independent protective factor for AMI,while NT-proBNP(OR=1.017,95%CI 1.007~1.028,P<0.001)andLp-PLA2(OR=1.039,95%CI 1.004~1.075,P=0.030)were independent risk factors.A nomogram model was constructed according to these factors.The calibration curves and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves showed good predictive value,and decision curve analysis(DCA)also indicated a significant net benefit.As coronary artery disease aggravated,se-rum ITLN-1 level significantly reduced and serum NT-proBNP and Lp-PLA2 levels significantly increased(P<0.05 or<0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that ITLN-1 was inversely correlated with coronary artery disease severity(r=-0.906,P<0.001),while NT-proBNP and Lp-PLA2 were positively correlated with it(r=0.860,0.885,P<0.001 both).Conclusion:ITLN-1 is an independent protective factor for AMI,while NT-proBNP and Lp-PLA2 are the independent risk factors.All of above-mentioned indexes are significantly correla-ted with coronary artery disease severity,and the combination of them had good diagnostic value for AMI.

Objective:To explore the effect of psoas muscle index (PMI) and construct a machine learning model to validate the 180-day prognosis in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Methods:Retrospective data were collected from patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2022 to November 2022. The area of the psoas muscle index (PMI) at the level of the third lumbar vertebra was measured and calculated based on the abdominal X-ray computed tomography images stored in the Eastern China Hospital Information System (HIS). Patients were divided into low PMI and normal PMI groups according to the receiver operating characteristic curve. Patients clinical data and complication status were collected.The general conditions of both groups were compared using a t-test, chi-square test, and Mann-Whitney U test. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied for survival analysis. The outcome variable was 180-day mortality, and variables were selected using Cox and LASSO regression. The dataset was divided into training and testing sets in a 7∶3 ratio. Machine learning algorithms were used to build models in the training set, and model performance was validated by the test set. The model for MELD-Na score was compared with the model for End-Stage Liver Disease score. Results:A total of 298 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis were included.The MELD scores, Child-Pugh classification, and NRS2002 scores, along with the incidence rate of complications such as ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, infections, and gastrointestinal bleeding, were significantly higher in the low PMI than the normal PMI group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The area under a receiver operating characteristic curve for the extreme gradient boosting model was higher than traditional clinical scores (MELD score 0.658, MELD_Na score 0.719) in the machine learning model. Furthermore, the application of SHAP results model indicated that PMI, hemoglobin, NRS2002 score, direct bilirubin, and blood ammonia were important factors in predicting the prognosis of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. Conclusion:A low PMI is closely related to poorer survival rates and the development of complication rates in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. The machine learning prediction model based on this construction, especially extreme gradient boosting, has favorable predictive performance, which is superior to the traditional clinical scoring system and can provide patients with the most accurate risk assessment and individualized treatment plan.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
