ObjectiveTo investigate the ameliorative effects and related mechanisms of the Zuogui Jiangtang Shuxin prescription （ZJSP） on glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in MKR mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy （DCM）， with a focus on elucidating its regulatory role on the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/forkhead box protein O1 （FoxO1）/cluster of differentiation 36 （CD36） signaling pathway and lipid deposition. MethodsFifty 8-week-old male MKR mice were fed a high-fat diet for four weeks and then intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin （STZ） while maintaining a high-fat diet to establish a DCM model. The mice were randomly divided into the model group， the low-dose（14.43 g·kg^-1）and high-dose（28.86 g·kg^-1） ZJSP groups， and the metformin group （0.25 g·kg^-1）， with age-matched FVB mice as a normal control group. Each group received intragastric administration of normal saline or corresponding concentrations of ZJSP at equal volumes. After four weeks， fasting blood glucose （FBG） and cardiac function were measured. Blood was collected from the eyeballs under anesthesia to detect fasting insulin （FINS） and blood lipid levels. Myocardial tissue morphology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and lipid deposition in the heart was assessed using oil red O staining. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of AMPK， FoxO1， and CD36 in myocardial tissues. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression levels of AMPK， p-AMPK， FoxO1， p-FoxO1， and CD36. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed significantly increased levels of FBG and FINS （P<0.01）， elevated levels of triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） （P<0.01）， and significantly decreased left ventricular ejection fraction （EF） and fractional shortening （FS） values （P<0.01）. HE staining revealed marked cardiomyocyte hypertrophy， disarray， and widened intercellular spaces in myocardial tissues. Oil Red O staining showed extensive red deposition areas and fine lipid droplet accumulation in the myocardial tissue. AMPK mRNA expression was decreased， while FoxO1 and CD36 mRNA expressions were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The p-AMPK/AMPK protein expression ratio in myocardial tissues was significantly reduced， while the p-FoxO1/FoxO1 protein expression ratio and CD36 protein expression levels were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all treatment groups exhibited significantly reduced FBG （P<0.01）， decreased FINS and blood lipid levels （TG， TC， LDL-C） （P<0.05， P<0.01）， improved cardiac function （P<0.05）， noticeable amelioration of myocardial histopathological morphology and lipid deposition， increased AMPK mRNA expression （P<0.01）， with significantly downregulated FoxO1 and CD36 mRNA expressions （P<0.01）， elevated p-AMPK/AMPK protein expression levels in myocardial tissue （P<0.05）， significantly decreased p-FoxO1/FoxO1 ratios （P<0.01）， and downregulated CD36 protein expression levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionZJSP exerts a protective effect on the heart in type 2 DCM of MKR mice， and its mechanism may be associated with the regulation of the AMPK/FoxO1/CD36 signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Sangpi Zhike prescription in treating cough after respiratory syncytial virus （RSV） infection through the "lung-intestine co-treatment" approach using network pharmacology and animal experimental validation. MethodsActive ingredients and targets of Sangpi Zhike prescription were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology （TCMSP） database. Disease targets were obtained from GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man（OMIM） databases. Protein-protein interaction （PPI） networks and drug-component-target networks were constructed using overlapping targets between drugs and diseases to identify core targets. Gene ontology（GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses were performed on the overlapping targets. Sixty mouse models were established： 10 as the normal group， and the remaining mice were infected with RSV via slow nasal drip of RSV suspension， with cough induced using capsaicin solution. After modeling， mice were divided into a model group， a Montelukast Sodium group （1 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and low， medium， and high dose groups of Sangpi Zhike prescription （4.875，9.75，and 19.5 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 10 mice per group. From day 14 after RSV infection， the normal and model groups received saline via gavage， while other groups received corresponding drug treatments once daily for 5 d. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in lung and intestinal tissue. The protein content of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 （ERK1/2） and phosphorylated （p）-ERK1/2 in the lung and colon tissue of mice was detected by Western blot. Real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） detected ERK1/2 mRNA expression in lung and intestinal tissue. Immunohistochemistry assessed p-MEK1/2， p-ERK1/2， p-c-Fos protein levels， and inflammatory cytokines interleukin（IL）-4 and （TNF）-α in lung and colon tissue. ResultsNetwork pharmacology identified 184 active ingredients and 684 targets in Sangpi Zhike prescription， with 1 344 RSV-related disease targets and 209 overlapping targets. Core targets included TNF， Fos， and Jun. KEGG enrichment revealed 179 pathways， primarily mitogen-activated protein kinase（MAPK）， cancer， TNF， and IL-17 signaling pathways. Animal experiments showed that， compared to those of the normal group， the lung tissue sections of the model group showed typical inflammatory damage， infiltration of inflammatory cells， rupture of alveolar septa， extensive alveolar fusion， and disruption of tight junctions between single-layer columnar epithelial cells in the intestinal tissue. The values of p-ERK1/2 and ERK1/2 in lung and intestinal tissue were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the expression level of ERK1/2 mRNA was significantly elevated （P<0.01）. The levels of ERK1/2， p-MEK1/2， p-ERK1/2， p-c-Fos， IL-4， and TNF-α along the ERK pathway were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， Sangpi Zhike prescription groups showed reduced lung and intestinal inflammation， decreased p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 ratios （P<0.05，P<0.01）， lower ERK1/2 mRNA levels， and downregulated ERK pathway proteins （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionSangpi Zhike prescription alleviates cough and intestinal symptoms after RSV infection via the "lung-intestine co-treatment" mechanism by suppressing expression levels of ERK1/2， p-MEK1/2， p-ERK1/2， p-c-Fos， IL-4， and TNF-α on ERK pathway components， thereby mitigating lung and intestinal pathological damage.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of a Chinese pedigree affected with Neurodevelopmental disorder with absent language and variable seizures (NEDALVS) due to variant of WASF1 gene, and to review the literature on NEDALVS associated with WASF1 gene variants. METHODS: A 4-year-and-8-month-old boy with NEDALVS diagnosed at Linyi People's Hospital in July 2024 due to "discovering language development delay for more than 2 years" and his family members were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data of the family members were collected. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from family members. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed, and candidate variants were verified, by Sanger sequencing. Pathogenicity of candidate variant was classified according to the Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants established by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). Using the MUpro website, SWISS-MODEL, PyMOL, Clustal X, PolyPhen-2, and Mutation Taster software, bioinformatics analysis of protein three-dimensional structure modeling for gene mutations, cross-species conservation of mutant amino acids, and pathogenicity prediction of mutation sites. Relevant literature was retrieved from databases such as CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and PubMed, and the clinical phenotypes and genotypes of patients with WASF1 gene mutations reported in the literature were summarized and analyzed. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Linyi People's Hospital (Ethics No.: YX200303). RESULTS: The proband, a 4-year and 8-month-old male, mainly presented with delayed language and motor development, accompanied by autistic behaviors; the proband's younger brother was 2 years and 7 months old at the time of consultation, mainly presented with delayed language and motor development, accompanied by short stature; the proband's mother mainly presents with limited language expression and poor interpersonal interaction; the proband's maternal grandmother mainly presents with soliloquizing?behavior. The results of WES showed that the proband carried a heterozygous mutation c.214C>T (p.Arg72Cys) in the WASF1 gene, and this site has not been recorded in the database. Sanger sequencing confirmed that the proband's younger brother, mother, and maternal grandmother had harbored the same variant. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, this variant was rated as likely pathogenic (PM2_Supporting+PP1+PP3+PP4). Through SWISS-MODEL homology modeling and PyMOL structure visualization analysis, it was further confirmed that this variant can lead to a decrease in protein stability. Amino acid sequence conservation analysis of the WASF1 protein using Clustal X software suggested that the c.214C>T (p.Arg72Cys) variant has caused replacement of a highly conserved amino acid. According to the results of PolyPhen-2 and Mutation Taster, the p.Arg72Cys variant was predicted to be a hazardous. By following the retrieval strategy set in this study, a total of 5 research articles regarding to patients with NEDALVS caused by WASF1 gene mutations were retrieved, which involved 15 patients. Combining the proband and their family members discovered in this study, there were a total of 19 NEDALVS patients. The main clinical features included: motor developmental delay (100%, 17/17), language/intellectual developmental delay (100%, 17/17), epilepsy (64.7%, 11/17), autistic behavior (76.5%, 13/17), hypotonia (70.6%, 12/17), abnormal electroencephalogram (64.7%, 11/17), and short stature (17.6%, 3/17). All 19 patients had heterozygous mutations, with 8 mutation sites. Missense mutations were the most common, accounting for 84.2% (16/19). CONCLUSION A pathogenic variant of the WASF1 gene was identified in a pedigree affected with NEDALVS. Discovery of the novel variant has, expanded the mutational spectrum of the WASF1 gene.

Objective:To analyze the management benefits of information-based management mode for medical imaging equipment,and promote rational management for equipment and improve management benefits of equipment.Methods:According to the existing information management system and electronic medical record system at Tangdu hospital,Air Force Medical University,a management platform for medical imaging equipment under information-based management mode for medical imaging equipment was constructed to manage medical imaging equipment.A total of 9 imaging equipment included magnetic resonance(MR)equipment,computed tomography(CT)equipment and X-ray equipment that were in clinical use during 2022 and 2023 were selected,and the conventional management mode was adopted to manage equipment during January and December 2022,and the information-based management mode was adopted to manage them during January and December 2023.The comprehensive management benefits of the two modes for medical imaging equipment were compared.A self-designed questionnaire was used to survey satisfaction levels of 80 patients who underwent diagnosis and treatment by using these equipment.Results:The annual examination amount,annual revenue,annual operating cost,and annual net profit of MRI,CT,and X-ray equipment of adopting information-based management mode were all higher than those of adopting conventional management mode,and the investment payback period was shorter than that of adopting conventional management mode,and the cost-effectiveness evaluation was superior to conventional management mode.The average utilization rate of equipment,rate of maintenance and upkeep,and rate of controlling risk of adopting information-based management mode were respectively(95.36±6.02)%,(92.36±4.36)%and(94.36±4.15)%,which were significantly higher than those of adopting conventional management mode(t=14.317,11.62,12.508,P<0.05).Patients'satisfactions for MRI equipment,CT equipment and X-ray equipment that adopted information-based management mode were significantly higher than these that adopted conventional management mode,and the differences were significant(x2=5.741,6.260,5.331,P<0.05).Conclusion:The information-based management mode for medical imaging equipment can real-timely obtain the situations of usage and monitoring for medical imaging equipment,and enhance cost-effectiveness and management effectiveness at the maximum extent,and enhance users'satisfaction in using medical equipment.

[Purpose]To analyze the results of breast cancer screening among women aged 45～74 in Chongqing from 2012 to 2022 and compare the risk of breast cancer among women with differ-ent characteristics.[Methods]The Urban Cancer Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program was con-ducted in Chongqing from 2012 to 2022,female residents aged 45～74 years old participated in breast cancer screening.The participants who were assessed as at high risk of breast cancer in the preliminary screening were advised to receive ultrasonography and mammography examination in designated hospitals.The study population was followed up annually to obtain information on their health outcomes.The high risk rate of breast cancer,compliance of further examination,the inci-dence density and breast cancer risk were calculated.[Results]A total of 207 891 women com-pleted the questionnaires survey and risk assessment,and 35 947 were assessed as the individuals with high risk of breast cancer with a high risk rate of 17.29％.Among them 14 713 received the imaging screening with a compliance rate of 40.93％.After a mean follow-up of(5.43±3.01)years,847 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed with a cumulative incidence rate of 407.43/105,an in-cidence density of 75.03/105 person-years(95％CI:70.15/105～80.26/105 person-years).Cox pro-portional hazards regression showed that the risk of breast cancer was higher in obese women than that in normal weight women(HR=1.26,95％CI:1.00～1.59);the risk of breast cancer was signifi-cantly higher in those with family history of breast cancer than that in those without family history(HR=1.69,95％CI:1.36～2.09).Compared with non-high-risk groups of breast cancer,the risk of breast cancer was increased in high-risk individuals who were screened or not screened(HR=1.36,95％CI:1.06～1.73 and HR=1.26,95％CI:1.01～1.56).[Conclusion]The breast cancer screening program combining primary risk assessment with ultrasonography and mammography for the high-risk groups can improve the detection rate,and the compliance rate of imaging screening need to be improved in the future and make accurate screening for people with high risk of breast cancer.

Objective:To compare the accuracy and applicability of three adult height prediction methods based on artificial intelligence-assisted bone age assessment—the Bayley-Pinneau method(BP method), the Tanner-Whitehouse 3 method(TW3 method), and China 05 method—in girls.Methods:This bidirectional cohort study collected clinical data and 690 posteroanterior X-ray images of the left hand from 278 female children who underwent pubertal development assessments at Shenzhen Children′s Hospital between January 2014 and December 2020, with follow-up until adult height was reached. Adult height prediction was performed using BP, TW3, and China 05 methods on artificial intelligence-assisted bone age assessment.Results:The BP and TW3 methods overestimated adult height by(1.7±3.7) cm and(2.6±3.0) cm, respectively, while the China 05 method underestimated adult height by(2.3±3.5) cm. The proportion of PAH within±5 cm of FAH were 80.0% for the TW3 method, 77.0% for the BP method, and 74.2% for the China 05 method, with significant differences among them( P=0.038). Analysis of cases with prediction deviations>10 cm and subgroup comparisons revealed that the TW3 and BP methods were more likely to overestimate adult height in girls aged 6.0-<8.0 years, with delayed bone age, or in the prepubertal stage(all P<0.001). The China 05 method was more prone to underestimate adult height in those with advanced bone age( P<0.001). All three methods showed significantly greater prediction errors(absolute difference between PAH and FAH) in girls with early puberty compared to those with normal pubertal development(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The TW3 and BP methods tend to overestimate adult height in girls, while the China 05 method tends to underestimate it. Caution is warranted when predicting adult height, particularly in girls under 8 years of bone age, with delayed or advanced bone age, and those with early puberty.
