Objective: To explore the relationship of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among middle schoold students in Tibet, so as to provide empirical references for improving the cardiorespiratory fitness and health levels of adolescents in Tibet. Methods: From August to December 2020, 1 225 junior and senior high school students were selected from 2 middle schools in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, using the stratified cluster random sampling method. Triaxial accelerometers were used to evaluate PA and SB behaviors, and the 20 meter shuttle run was employed to assess CRF among the middle school students. Isochronous substitution modeling was used to analyze the associations of SB, low intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with CRF, and the saturation threshold effect in the dose response relationship between MVPA and CRF was analyzed through restricted cubic spline and two stage linear regression. Results: After adjusting for covariates such as gender, body mass index and sleep quality score, isotemporal substitution analysis showed that among junior high school students aged 13-15, replacing 30 minutes of SB ( B =1.73) or LPA ( B =2.38) with MVPA were positively associated with CRF (both P <0.05). Among senior high school students aged 16-18, replacing SB ( B =0.99) or LPA ( B =1.38) with MVPA were also positively associated with CRF (both P <0.05). Restricted cubic spline and two piecewise linear regression analyses indicated that only middle school girls aged 13-18 exhibited a saturation threshold effect between MVPA and CRF (logarithmic likelihood ratio test=0.03), with the optimal CRF improvement observed at 60 minutes of MVPA per day ( B=0.13, P ＜ 0.01). Conclusions Reducing SB and LPA while increasing MVPA can improve CRF in Tibetan middle school students. To maximize CRF improvement, middle school girls should engage in at least 60 minutes of MVPA daily.

Objective To investigate the relationship between insomnia,gastrointestinal symptoms,and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)levels in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),as well as the related influencing factors.Methods A total of 910 T2DM patients treated in our multicenter from January 2022 to December 2022 were enrolled in this study.General information(gender,age,smoking and drinking history,exercise,course of disease,treatment and complications),HbA1c,Athens Insomnia Scale(AIS)scores and Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale(GSRS)scores of patients were collected.The differences of sleep and gastrointestinal symptoms between groups were analyzed,and the correlation between the differences and HbA1c was analyzed.Furthermore,the risk factors for non-standard HbA1c were analyzed.Results The AIS score and GSRS score in the HbA1c control group were less than those in the non-standard group(P＜0.01).Insomnia was reported by 37.0％of T2DM patients,and the HbA1c level in the insomnia group was significantly higher than that in the non-insomnia group(10.00％±2.38％vs.8.26％±1.73％,P＜0.01).Gastrointestinal symptoms were present in 57.5％of T2DM patients,and the HbA1c levels in the group with gastrointestinal symptoms were significantly higher than those in the group without gastrointestinal symptoms(9.26％±2.23％vs.8.43％±1.98％,P＜0.01).Furthermore,26.3％of T2DM patients experienced both insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms.Remarkably,the HbA1c levels in the group with both insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms were significantly higher than those in the group without either condition(10.18％±2.44％vs.8.45％±1.86％,P＜0.01).Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant association between sleep quality,gastrointestinal function,and HbA1c levels(P＜0.01).The logistic regression analysis result revealed that age,GSRS score,AIS score,and the presence of insomnia combined with gastrointestinal symptoms were independent risk factors for predicting HbA1c≥6.5％(P＜0.01).Having both insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms concurrently was the strongest risk factor for substandard HbA1c control,and the risk of blood sugar control may increase about 5 times when both appear together.Conclusion Insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms are common comorbidities in T2DM patients,showing a cross-interfering relationship,and they appear together with poor blood sugar control,interact causally,and amplify each other.

Celastrol and wilforlide A are the main active triterpenoids of the traditional Chinese medicine Lei Gong Teng, which have anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities, and are the material basis for the clinical efficacy of Lei Gong Teng-related Chinese medicinal preparations. By analysing the biosynthetic pathway of active ingredients, optimizing genetic elements and utilizing "cell factory" to produce triterpenoids heterologously will be an effective way to obtain from Tripterygium wilfordii in the future in a "low-cost and high-efficient" manner. CYP712Ks are the first cytochrome P450s involved in the skeleton modification of friedelane-type and oleanane-type triterpenoids in T. wilfordii, and they can catalyse the generation of polpunonic acid from friedelin and 3-epi-katonic acid from β-amyrin by carboxylation at C-29 position. In this study, four multifunctional TwCYP712K1/2/3/5 were used to clarify the catalytic function and substrate selection preference using in vivo functional characterization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The spatial structure of the protein-substrate binding was clarified through homology modeling and molecular docking, and then the differential amino acids in the active pocket of the protein were mutated to clarify the crucial amino acids determining the catalytic function and the selection of substrate structure. A total of 63 mutant elements were constructed, and the amino acid sites affecting the carboxylation function of TwCYP712Ks were analyzed. In particular, the key amino acids affecting the substrate selectivity of TwCYP712K2 towards oleanane-type and friedelane-type triterpenoids were revealed and the TwCYP712K2^F127I and TwCYP712K2^A227T mutants would result in a reversal of the product ratio. In conclusion, four proteins of TwCYP712Ks were semi-rationally designed by homologous protein alignment and mutual mutation to elucidate multiple amino acid sites determining the catalytic function of the proteins, and a series of activity-enhancing or altering mutants were obtained, which provide abundant catalytic elements for the biosynthesis of active triterpenoids from T. wilfordii, and the mechanism of carboxylation in the C-29 position was initially elucidated.

This article reports the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT)and vitamin D deficiency.The patient was a young male with a insidious onset.Multiple tests have shown hypercalcemia,hypophosphatemia,hypercalciuria,and hyperparathyroidism.There was no renal dysfunction,and the diagnosis of PHPT was clear.There were kidney stones and vitamin D deficiency at the same time.The patient met the surgical indications,but the difficulty in preoperative localization was that ultrasound examination showed suspicious masses in both parathyroid regions,and the 99mTc-MIBI imaging result was negative.Finally,accurate preoperative localization was achieved through 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT,and the patient was cured after surgery.

BACKGROUND:Premature birth is a major global health problem associated with high mortality and morbidity.White matter injury is the most common brain injury in preterm infants.Salvia miltiorrhiza is a traditional herbal plant that is commonly used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Asian countries. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza on white matter injury in preterm infants. METHODS:Eighteen neonatal male Sprague-Dawley rats at 3-day gestational age were selected and randomized into normal group,white matter injury group,and Salvia miltiorrhiza group.Animal models of preterm white matter injury were established by permanent ligation of the right common carotid artery in the latter two groups.Rats in the Salvia miltiorrhiza group were given intraperitoneal injection of Salvia miltiorrhiza(5 mg/kg·d)for 7 consecutive days.Normal group and white matter injury group were given the same volume of PBS for intervention.On the 14th day after modeling,the rats were sacrificed.Brains were pathologically observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining under microscope,and the expression levels of myelin basic protein and CC1 in brain tissue were visualized using immunofluorescence.Furthermore,liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze possible pathways for the action of Salvia miltiorrhiza. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the white matter injury group,the structure of the corpus callosum was irregular and the cells appeared swollen and necrotic.In addition,induction of white matter injury resulted in significantly reduced myelin formation,with irregular and loosely arranged nerve fibers and significantly decreased myelin sheaths.Interestingly,white matter injury rats treated with Salvia miltiorrhiza had reduced cellular swelling,reduced lesions,and increased myelin sheaths.The expression of myelin basic protein was closely related to myelin formation,and CC1 was a marker of myelin oligodendrocytes.Salvia miltiorrhiza significantly up-regulated the expressions of myelin basic protein and CC1 in white matter injury rats(P＜0.000 1),indicating that Salvia miltiorrhiza alleviated white matter injury.Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis showed that the therapeutic effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza in the rat model of white matter injury was closely related to the regulation of complement and coagulation cascades.To conclude,Salvia miltiorrhiza may be a potential therapeutic agent for treating preterm white matter injury.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human anti-severe acute respiratory syn-drome coronavirus 2(anti-SARS-CoV-2)monoclonal antibody injection(F61 injection)in the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)combined with renal damage.Methods Patients with COVID-19 and renal damage who visited the PLA General Hospital from January to February 2023 were selected.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups.Control group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy,while trial group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy combined with F61 injection.A 15-day follow-up was conducted after drug administration.Clinical symptoms,laboratory tests,electrocardiogram,and chest CT of pa-tients were performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of F61 injection.Results Twelve subjects(7 in trial group and 5 in control group)were included in study.Neither group had any clinical progression or death cases.The ave-rage time for negative conversion of nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 in control group and trial group were 3.2 days and 1.57 days(P=0.046),respectively.The scores of COVID-19 related target symptom in the trial group on the 3rd and 5th day after medication were both lower than those of the control group(both P＜0.05).According to the clinical staging and World Health Organization 10-point graded disease progression scale,both groups of subjects improved but didn't show statistical differences(P＞0.05).For safety,trial group didn't present any infusion-re-lated adverse event.Subjects in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of elevated blood glucose,elevated urine glucose,elevated urobilinogen,positive urine casts,and cardiac arrhythmia,but the differences were not statistica-lly significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion F61 injection has initially demonstrated safety and clinical benefit in trea-ting patients with COVID-19 combined with renal damage.As the domestically produced drug,it has good clinical accessibility and may provide more options for clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata on neurological function injury in ischemic stroke rats and explore its mechanism. MethodMale SD rats were randomized into sham operation， model， low- and high -dose （3.5 g·kg^-1 and 7 g·kg^-1） Rehmannia Radix Praeparata， and nimodipine （0.01 g·kg^-1） groups. The rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） was established with the modified suture occlusion method. Zea-Longa 5-point scoring was employed to evaluate the neurological function of rats. The cerebral infarction volume was detected by 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl staining were employed to observe the morphology and damage of the brain tissue. Meanwhile， the serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， oxidative stress-related indicators superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， and malondialdehyde （MDA）， and the iron （Fe） content in the brain tissue were determined. To explore the mechanism of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata in mitigating the neurological damage in ischemic stroke rats， Western blotting was employed to determine the expression levels of proteins in the ischemic brain tissue. The autophagy-associated proteins included autophagy effector （beclin-1）， microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 （LC3B）， and ubiquitin-binding protein p62 （p62）. The ferroptosis-associated proteins included transferrin （TF）， transferrin receptor 1 （TFR1）， ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）， and ferropotin （FPN1）. The neurological function injury-associated proteins included brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） and tyrosine kinase receptor B （TrkB）. ResultCompared with the sham operation group， the model group showed increased neurological function score， cerebral infarction volume， and appearance of nuclear pyknosis and vacuole of cells in the cerebral cortex. In addition， the model group presented elevated levels of LDH， MDA， and Fe （P<0.01） and lowered levels of SOD and GPX4 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata decreased the content of LDH， MDA， and Fe （P<0.05， P<0.01） and elevated the levels of SOD and GPX4 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the sham operation group， the modeling promoted the expression of beclin-1，LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ， TF， and TFR1 and inhibited the expression of p62， FTH1， FPN1， BDNF， and TrkB （P<0.01）. The expression levels of these proteins were recovered after the treatment with Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata. ConclusionRehmanniae Radix Praeparata may inhibit ferroptosis and improve the neurological function in ischemic stroke rats by down-regulating the autophagy level in the brain tissue.

Chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)is a common intractable gastric disease in clinic,which belongs to the gastric precancerous lesions.Professor LIU Feng-Bin and his team have performed the exploration and practice in the field of CAG for more than 30 years,and they proposed that the evolution of the traditional Chinse medicine(TCM)pathogenesis of inflammation-to-tumor transition(ITT)in CAG was characterized by spleen deficiency being the root cause,qi stagnation,blood stasis and dampness retention being the branch cause,and stasis and toxin being the aggravating factors.Deificiency of the spleen and stomach is the initial factor of CAG,which influences the whole process of the disease.Qi stagnation,blood stasis and dampness retention are the triggering and aggravating factors for the ITT in CAG.The formation of blood stasis and toxin is the key to the progression and transition of CAG.Treatment of ITT in CAG should be based on the results of syndrome differentiation and gastroscopic findings by staging therapy.Before treatment,disease dianosis and syndrome differentiation should be made,and macro and micro syndrome differentiation should be carried out for assistance.Therapy of strengthening the spleen and supporting healthy qi should be implemented throughout the whole process of the disease.The early stage of CAG has the features of gastric mucosa with mild to moderate atrophy and with or without mild intestinal epithelial hyperplasia,the pathogenesis of early CAG is characterized by weakness of the spleen and stomach and is accompanied with the pathological factors of qi stagnation,damp-retention and blood stasis,and the basic treatment should adopt the therapies of strengthening the spleen and clearing heat,regulating qi and activating blood stasis.The advanced stage of CAG has the features of severe atrophic gastric mucosa with or without moderate to severe intestinal epithelial and/or mild to moderate intraepithelial neoplasia,the pathogenesis is characterized by weakness of the spleen and stomach,phlegm blended with blood stasis,and stasis-toxin in the gastric collaterals,and the basic treatment should adopt the therapies of supporting healthy qi and dissipating masses,and unblocking the collaterals and removing toxin,so as to construct an intact line to blocking the ITT in CAG with traditional Chinese medicine.

The concept of'harmony'is the soul of traditional Chinese culture,which has a profound impact on the formation and development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).TCM is rooted in traditional Chinese culture,and the mode of thinking in TCM is in line with traditional Chinese culture.Based on the harmony culture,TCM has developed a unique view of health,disease and therapeutics.From the view of the harmony culture and by combining with years of clinical experience in treating dermatosis,Chinese medical master XUAN Guo-Wei has applied the concept of'harmony'in the TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment system in clinic,and has developed the academic thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins for the diagnosis and treatment of dermatosis.The thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins includes four aspects,namely harmonizing yin and yang,harmonizing healthy qi and pathogenic qi,harmonizing water and fire(i.e.,clod and hot),and harmonizing the administration of formula and drugs,aiming to remove toxins and expel pathogens and value the harmony.The thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins will beneficial to the comprehensive understanding of the unique health-disease-therapeutics concept in TCM,and will be helpful for managing the doctor-patient relationship,which is of enlightening significance to the modern clinical practice with TCM.

Objective To explore the value of serum microRNAs-145(miR-145)and P53 antibody detection in the evaluation of therapeutic effect and prognosis in the treatment of breast cancer with Long Bei Xiaoyao Powder.Methods Ninety cases of breast cancer patients admitted to Beijing Aerospace General Hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group by random number table method,with 45 cases in each group.All of the patients in the two groups received individualized comprehensive treatment,and additionally the observation group was treated with Long Bei Xiaoyao Powder.The course of treatment covered three months.Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR)method was used to detect serum miR-145 expression level,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect serum P53 antibody expression level.The differences in the pre-and post-treatment expression levels of serum miR-145 and P53 antibodies in the two groups were compared,the relationship between the serum miR-145 and P53 antibody expression level and the poor prognosis of the patients in the observation group was explored by logistic regression analysis,and receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was drawn to analyze the value of the serum miR-145 and P53 antibody detection in the prediction of poor prognosis in the observation group.Results(1)After treatment,the detection value of serum miR-145 in the two groups of patients showed an increasing trend(P＜0.05),while that of the P53 antibody showed a decreasing trend(P＜0.05).The intergroup comparison showed that the detection value of serum miR-145 in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group,while the detection value of P53 antibody was significantly lower than that of the control group,the differences being all statistically significant(P＜0.05).(2)In the observation group,the detection value of serum miR-145 in the patients with good prognosis was significantly higher than that in the patients with poor prognosis,and the detection value of serum P53 antibody in the patients with good prognosis was significantly lower than that in the patients with poor prognosis,the differences being all statistically significant(P＜0.05).(3)Logistic regression analysis showed that high expression of miR-145 was a protective factor for the patients with poor prognosis in the observation group,and high expression of P53 antibody was a risk factor for the patients with poor prognosis in the observation group(P＜0.05).(4)The area under the ROC curve(AUC)for the prediction of prognosis of the patients in the observation group by the combination of serum miR-145 and P53 antibody was the largest(0.877,95%CI:0.769-0.985),and its sensitivity and specificity were 93.75%and 93.10%,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion Low expression of serum miR-145 and high expression of serum P53 antibody are presented in the breast cancer patients with poor prognosis,and Long Bei Xiaoyao Powder exerts satisfactory therapeutic effect in treating breast cancer,which is conducive to enhancing the expression level of serum miR-145 and reducing the expression level of serum P53 antibody.
