ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of long intergenic non-coding RNA02086 （LINC02086） overexpression mediated macrophage polarization on the proliferation， migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells. MethodsThe expression levels of LINC02086 in the human gastric epithelial cell line GES-1 and human gastric cancer cell lines HCG-27， NCI-N87， and AGS were determined by qRT-PCR. Human acute monocytic leukemia cells （THP-1） were induced to differentiate into M0 macrophages using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate （PMA）. HGC-27 cells were infected with either LINC02086 overexpression lentivirus （OE-LINC02086） or its negative control lentivirus （Vector）， and the culture supernatants were collected as conditioned medium （CM1）. M0 macrophages were co-cultured with the infected HGC-27 cells， and the resulting supernatants were designated as conditioned medium 2 （CM2）. M0 macrophages were treated with CM1 alone or in combination with Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor IWR-1， forming the Vector+CM1， OE-LINC02086+CM1， and OE-LINC02086+CM1+IWR-1 groups， respectively. Flow cytometry was used to detect mannose receptor C-type 1 （CD206） expression， and qRT-PCR was employed to measure mRNA levels of interleukin-10 （IL⁃10）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF⁃β）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， and chemokine ligand 22 （CCL22）. Western blot was performed to evaluate protein expression of CD206， VEGF， and key components of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway—Wnt family member 3a （Wnt3a）， glycogen synthase kinase-3β （GSK-3β）， and β-catenin. HGC-27 cells were treated with CM2 alone or combined with IWR-1， establishing the Vector+CM2， OE-LINC02086+CM2， and OE-LINC02086+CM2+IWR-1 groups. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation， and Transwell assays were conducted to assess migration and invasion capabilities. ResultsCompared with GES-1 cells， the expression levels of LINC02086 were upregulated in HCG-27， NCI-N87， and AGS cells （P < 0.05）， with the smallest increase observed in HCG-27 cells. Compared with Vector+CM1 group， the level of CD206 and the expression levels of IL⁃10， TGF⁃β， VEGF and CCL22 mRNA in macrophages stimulated by OE-LINC02086+CM1 increased （P<0.05）. Meanwhile， the expression levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin proteins in cells increased （P<0.05）， and the expression level of GSK-3β protein decreased （P<0.05）. However， co-treatment with IWR-1 markedly reversed the promoting effects of LINC02086 overexpression on the expression of M2 polarization markers， including CD206， IL⁃10， and TGF⁃β mRNA， in macrophages （P<0.05）， as well as its activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway （P<0.05）. Compared with Vector+CM2 group， HGC-27 cells infected with OE-LINC02086+CM2 had increased proliferation activity and increased number of migration and invasion cells （P<0.05）. However， the combined intervention of IWR-1 significantly reversed the promotion of LINC02086 overexpression on the proliferation， migration and invasion of HGC-27 cells （P<0.05）. ConclusionLINC02086 overexpression promotes the proliferation， migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells by activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway to mediate M2 polarization of macrophages.

Objective: To examine the prevalence of e-cigarette use and associated factors among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and to explore the pathways linking harm perception of e-cigarettes, interpersonal social influence, and attitudes toward e-cigarette use with experimentation behavior, in order to provide scientific basis for further optimizing the prevention and control strategies of e-cigarette among adolescents. Methods: From September to October 2025, a multi stage cluster random sampling method was used to select 5 144 primary and secondary school students aged 8-19 years from 47 primary and secondary schools in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, to conduct an anonymous questionnaire survey. The questionnaire collected information on e-cigarette use, harm perception of e-cigarette, interpersonal social influence, and attitudes toward e-cigarette use. The Chi-square test was applied to analyze the differences in cigarette and e-cigarette use behavior among primary and secondary school students with different demographic characteristics. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was constructed using Mplus 8.3 software, and the bootstrap method was utilized to test the mediating effects. Results: The reported rates of cigarette experimentation, e-cigarette experimentation, and current e-cigarette use among primary and secondary school students were 1.85%, 2.10%, and 0.70%, respectively. Higher reporting rates of e-cigarette experimentation were observed among boys (2.82%), secondary school students aged 16-19 (3.39%), senior high school students (3.05%), and those with weekly pocket money >100 yuan ( 6.11% ) ( χ 2=11.67, 8.61, 8.00, 54.18, all P <0.05). Structural pathway analysis results demonstrated that e-cigarette harm perception positively predicted interpersonal social influence ( β =0.61) and e-cigarette use attitude ( β = 0.53 ), and interpersonal social influence ( β =0.65) and e-cigarette use attitude ( β =0.25) further promoted e-cigarette experimentation behavior among primary and secondary school students (all P <0.01), with interpersonal social influence playing a major mediating role (indirect effect=0.40). Conclusions E-cigarette experimentation behavior among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area is jointly influenced by multiple psychosocial factors. Intervention strategies should strengthen interpersonal social factors such as family and peers on the basis of health education, thereby constructing a comprehensive prevention and control strategy for e-cigarette use among primary and secondary school students.

Objective To explore the risk prediction value of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(Gd-EOB-MRI)liver imaging reporting and data system version 2018(LI-RADS v2018)with contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)LI-RADS version 2017(LI-RADS v2017)in high-risk patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The clinical and imaging data of 122 high-risk patients for HCC(with a total of 134 liver lesions)who underwent both Gd-EOB-MRI and CEUS examination at the same time and obtained pathological results within one month were retrospectively col-lected.The nodules were classified according to the CT/MRI LI-RADS v2018 and CEUS LI-RADS v2017 criteria,and the LI-RADS classification results of the two imaging methods were subjected to Cohen's Kappa test.Using pathological results as the gold stand-ard,the diagnostic efficacy of LI-RADS v2018 and LI-RADS v2017 with LR-5 as the standard for HCC was calculated separately.Results The overall consistency between the Gd-EOB-MRI LI-RADS v2018 and CEUS LI-RADS v2017 classification standards was good(Kappa=0.691,P＜0.001).Using LR-5 as the standard for diagnosing HCC,the sensitivity of Gd-EOB-MRI and CEUS was 84.7％and 81.2％,the specificity was 79.6％and 73.5％,the positive predictive value was 87.8％and 84.1％,the negative predictive value was 75.0％and 69.2％,and the accuracy was 82.8％and 78.4％,respectively.There was no statistically significant difference in the diagnostic efficacy of the diagnosis of HCC by LR-5 between the two imaging methods(P＞0.05).Conclusion The Gd-EOB-MRI LI-RADS v2018 and CEUS LI-RADS v2017 classifica-tion standards show good overall agreement.The diagnostic efficacy of Gd-EOB-MRI for HCC using LR-5 classification is better than that of CEUS.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanisms of Wenyang Huazhuo Formula （温阳化浊方， WHF） in improving reproductive aging from the perspective of the ovarian mechanical microenvironment. MethodsThe experiment included five groups， 3-month group （20 female mice at 3 months of age）， 6-month group （20 female mice at 6 months of age）， 6-month + WHF group （20 female mice at 5 months of age treated with WHF）， 9-month group （20 female mice at 9 months of age）， and 9-month + WHF group （20 female mice at 8 months of age treated with WHF）. The 6-month + WHF group and 9-month + WHF group were orally administered WHF 41.2 g/（kg·d） once daily for 4 consecutive weeks. The other three groups received no intervention. Reproductive hormone levels were measured by ELISA. HE staining was used to count the numbers of various stages of follicles. Ovarian hyaluronic acid （HA） content and collagen fiber content were measured to evaluate the ovarian mechanical microenvironment. Superovulation was performed to observe the number of eggs obtained， as well as the number of offspring and birth weight to assess fertility. The in vitro fertilization and blastocyst culture of oocytes from female offspring in each group were observed to evaluate the effect of WHF on offspring reproductive potential. ResultsCompared with the 3-month group， the 6-month group and 9-month group showed significantly decreased serum levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH）， follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， and luteinizing hormone （LH）， decreased ovarian collagen content， and reduced numbers of primordial and secondary follicles. In contrast， the numbers of primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles increased. The levels of anti-Müllerian hormone （AMH）， ovarian HA content， and the fertilization rate， cleavage rate， and blastocyst formation rate of oocytes from offspring were significantly lower （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 6-month group， the 6-month + WHF group showed significantly reduced serum levels of GnRH， FSH， and LH， with a significant decrease in primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles as well as increase of AMH levels， ovarian HA content， number of primordial and secondary follicle， egg count， and offspring birth weight （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 9-month group， the 9-month + WHF group exhibited reduced GnRH， FSH， and collagen fiber content， as well as reduced number of primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles. However， AMH levels， ovarian HA content， number of primordial and secondary follicle， egg count， offspring numbers， birth weight， fertilization rate， cleavage rate， and blastocyst formation rate of oocytes from offspring all significantly increased （P＜0.05）. ConclusionWHF can significantly improve the ovarian reserve， fertility， and reproductive potential in offspring during reproductive mid-life and late-life stages. Its effect may be related to the remodeling of the mechanical microenvironment of aging ovaries. Moreover， the effect on the mechanical microenvironment remodeling of late-stage ovaries and the improvement of the offspring reproductive potential is more significant.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease initiated by biofilm microorganisms and mediated by host immune imbalance.Uncontrolled periodontal infections are the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.Thrombotic diseases can lead to partial or complete obstruction of blood flow in the circulatory system,manifesting as organ or tissue ischemia and necrosis in patients with arterial thrombosis,and local edema,pain and circulatory instability in patients with venous thrombosis,which may lead to mortality or fatality in severe case.Recent studies found that periodontitis might enhance thrombosis through bacterial transmission or systemic inflammation by affecting platelet-immune cell interactions,as well as the coagulation,and periodontal therapy could have a prophylactic effect on patients with thrombotic diseases.In this review,we summarized clinical findings on the association between periodontitis and thrombotic diseases and discussed several novel prothrombotic periodontitis-related agents,and presented a perspective to emphasize the necessity of oral health management for people at high risk of thrombosis.

Objective:To investigate the correlations of endoscopic evaluation results with laboratory indices and clinical disease activity in Crohn disease (CD) patients with different intestinal involvement.Methods:Data of 147 patients diagnosed as having CD who visited the Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022 were collected retrospectively. According to the involvement of intestinal segment, patients were divided into three groups: the group with isolated small intestinal involvement ( n=55), the group with both small intestinal and large intestinal involvement ( n=48), and the group with isolated large intestinal involvement ( n=44). Correlations of endoscopic evaluation (based on CDEIS) with laboratory indices and clinical disease activity (based on Harvey-Bradshaw index) were analyzed. Results:C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) could be used for the prediction of endoscopic disease activity. The areas under curve (AUC) of receiver operator characteristic (ROC) were 0.677 (0.506-0.849) and 0.744 (0.597-0.890), respectively. In terms of determing clinical disease activity, clinical Harvey-Bradshaw index was consistent with endoscopic CDEIS score in 65.3% (96/147) patients, showing a low positive correlation ( r=0.260, P<0.05). In subgroup analysis for patients with isolated small intestinal involvement, CRP showed no predictive value for clinical disease activity [AUC (95% CI): 0.617 (0.461-0.773), P=0.148], while for endoscopic activity neither CRP nor ESR showed predictive value [AUC (95% CI): 0.537 (0.146-0.929), P=0.829; AUC (95% CI): 0.571 (0.153-0.990), P=0.680]. Furthermore, for patients with isolated small intestinal involvement and both small intestinal and large intestinal involvement, no correlation was found between clinical Harvey-Bradshaw index and endoscopic CDEIS score ( r=0.222, P=0.092; r=0.142, P=0.322). Conclusion:For CD patients with small intestinal involvement, especially isolated small intestinal involvement, laboratory indices and clinical disease activity cannot accurately reflect endoscopic disease activity. Great importance should be attached to evaluation of the extent and activity of intestinal lesions by endoscopy, especially enteroscopy.
