Depression is a widespread psychiatric disorder with complex pathogenesis and unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. As a native flavonoid, Isorhamnetin (ISO) has been deemed to exert neuroprotective effects by antioxidation and regulation of immunity. However, no reports of anti-depressed effect of ISO have yet been found. The present study was conducted to clarify the mechanism basis of anti-depressed effect of ISO utilizing behavioral, biochemical, molecular approaches in vitro and in vivo and bio-informatics analysis. The effects of ISO on depressed mice was investigated through the SPT and FST, and the lesions were examined by H&E staining. Besides, the inflammatory factor and indicator in kynurenine pathway were assessed through detection kits, and the microbiota were checked by 16sRNA. Molecular docking study was performed to investigate the target of ISO. Additionally, Western blot was used to test the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The results indicated that ISO could enhance the sugar water preference of mice in SPT and reduce immobility time in FST. Further more, ISO suppressed peripheral and central inflammation, regulated the changes in kynurenine pathway and gut microbiota, inhibited activation of PI3K/AKT pathway, and presented good binding patterns with target proteins on PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that ISO alleviated depression-like behaviour by normalizing inflammation-induced dysregulation of the crosstalk between KP and gut microbiota disorder through regulated PI3K/AKT/NF-κB pathway.

Objective:
To examine the relationship between self-management behaviors and time perspective among patients with comorbid diabetes, so as to provide the evidence for improving self-management behaviors among patients with comorbid diabetes.
Methods:
The patients with comorbid diabetes who were registered in the chronic disease health management system of Minhang District, Shanghai Municipality in 2021, followed up regularly, and lived in Meilong Town were recruited. Demographic information and family history of diabetes were collected through questionnaire surveys. Time perspective and self-management behaviors were assessed using the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory and Diabetes Self-Management Behavior Scale, respectively. The relationship between self-management behaviors and time perspective was analyzed using a multivariable ordinal logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 907 patients with comorbid diabetes were enrolled, including 472 males (52.04%) and 435 females (47.96%). There were 652 cases aged 65 years and above, accounting for 71.89%. In terms of the types of time perspective, 280 patients were future-oriented (30.87%), 236 were balanced (26.02%), 162 were sensation-seeking (17.86%), 123 were fatalistic (13.56%), and 106 were negative (11.69%). In terms of the self-management behaviors, 46 patients were good (5.07%), 643 were moderate (70.89%), and 218 were poor (24.04%). Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, educational level, marital status, occupation status, monthly income, and family history of diabetes, the patients with comorbid diabetes who had a future-oriented time perspective had better self-management behaviors (OR=1.874, 95%CI: 1.204-2.915).
Conclusion
The self-management behaviors among patients with comorbid diabetes are moderate to poor, and patients with a future-oriented time perspective can better engage in self-management behaviors.

Objective To analyze the status and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in permanent residents in a certain area. Methods The clinical data of 6 792 permanent residents surveyed from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All subjects underwent 13C-urea breath test,and relevant general information was collected to analyze Hp infection status. According to whether Hp infection occurred, they were divided into positive group (n=4 283) and negative group (n=2 509). The differences in general information, living habits, and dietary habits between the two groups of subjects were analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results Among the 6 792 permanent residents surveyed from January 2021 to December 2023, 4283 were positive for 13C-urea breath test, accounting for 63.05% of the total. There were statistically significant differences in age distribution, gender, BMI, tableware cleaning, personal hygiene products use, chopsticks use, and raw food and vegetable cleaning between the positive group and the negative group (P<0.05). The single factors of Hp infection were substituted into multivariate logistic regression analysis equation, and it was found that age ≥45 years old, male, BMI≥24, no use of detergents to clean utensils, sharing personal hygiene products, not using public chopsticks, having a habit of eating raw food, and not cleaning vegetables before eating were independent risk factors for Hp infection. Conclusion The positive rate of Hp infection in this area is relatively high, and the infection factors are related to age, gender, and some lifestyle and dietary habits.

Objective:
To investigate the trajectories of fasting blood glucose fluctuations and their influencing factors among patients with comorbidity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide the basis for strengthening blood glucose management in this population.
Methods:
In October 2023, data of patients diagnosed with comorbid T2DM from January to October 2021, including demographic information, lifestyle, health status and fasting blood glucose were collected through the chronic disease health management system of Minhang District, Shanghai Municipality. Fasting blood glucose fluctuation trajectories were analyzed by group-based trajectory model established based on fasting blood glucose values from January 2021 to October 2023. Influencing factors of fasting blood glucose fluctuation trajectories among patients with comorbidity of T2DM were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 907 patients with comorbidity of T2DM were enrolled, including 472 males (52.04%) and 435 females (47.96%). There were 652 cases aged ≥65 years, accounting for 71.89%. The group-based trajectory model analysis identified three trajectory groups: a low-level stable group (492 cases, 54.24%), a medium-level stable group (287 cases, 31.64%), and a high-level decreasing group (128 cases, 14.11%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with the low-level stable group, patients with comorbidity of T2DM who had an education level of junior high school or below (OR=1.420, 95%CI: 1.011-1.995) or college degree or above (OR=2.109, 95%CI: 1.249-3.560), as well as those who engaged in regular exercise (OR=1.387, 95%CI: 1.017-1.893), were more likely to be in the medium-level stable group. Patients with comorbidity of T2DM who were overweight or obese (OR=1.675, 95%CI: 1.116-2.513) or had dyslipidemia (OR=3.195, 95%CI: 1.642-6.216) were more likely to be in the high-level decreasing group.
Conclusions
From January 2021 to October 2023, the fasting blood glucose levels of patients with comorbidity of T2DM exhibited three fluctuating trajectories: low-level stability, medium-level stability, and high-level decline. Compared with the low-level stable group, the medium-level stable group was mainly influenced by educational level and regular exercise. The high-level decline group was primarily affected by overweight/obesity and dyslipidemia.
