Abstract As a systematic psychological intervention method, bibliotherapy possesses advantages such as low cost, high accessibility, and significant efficacy. The paper systematically reviews the recent research progress of bibliotherapy in the field of adolescent mental health intervention including covering preventive, therapeutic, developmental, personalized, and comprehensive approaches. It discusses the effectiveness and key influencing factors of these interventions. Findings indicate that bibliotherapy can effectively reduce the risk of depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents, and improve their emotional regulation skills and social adaptability. Different types of interventions demonstrate varied effects across different populations. Personalized and comprehensive intervention models can further enhance the outcomes, to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for the development of localized bibliotherapy intervention programs.

MRGPRX2 antagonists possess the potential for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria. Previously, we identified a class of diaryl urea (DPU) MRGPRX2 antagonists with sub-micromolar IC₅₀ values in vitro. However, the structure-activity relationship remains unclear. Herein, we adopted a "relative symmetry with electronegativity of different key-groups" strategy for further modification of DPUs to achieve a promising MRGPRX2 antagonist with higher activity and safety. Electrostatic potential energy analysis and biological evaluation revealed that B-1023 and B-5023, that possess relatively symmetric electron-withdrawing substituents, remarkable inhibited mast cell degranulation at a sub-micromolar IC₅₀ in vitro and alleviated anaphylactic symptoms. Furthermore, B-1023, mitigated antigen-induced pulmonary inflammation (AIPI) in mice and competitively bonded to MRGPRX2. In summary, the "relative symmetry with electronegativity of different key-groups" strategy provided a drug design pattern for MRGPRX2 antagonists and identified promising antiallergic precursors for AIPI treatment.

Objective:To discuss the synergistic inhibitory effect of apatinib mesylate(apatinib)combined with radiotherapy(RT)on the hepatocellular carcinoma(HepG2)cells in vitro,and to clarify its related antitumor mechanism.Methods:The HepG2 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with different concentrations of apatinib and/or varying doses of X-rays.MTT method was used to detect the survival rates of the cells in various groups;the inhibitory rates of cell proliferation and the 20％inhibitory concentration(IC20)of apatinib were calculated;the X-ray irradiation dose for subsequent experiments was detected.The HepG2 cells were divided into apatinib group,RT group,and apatinib+RT group(combined group).Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rates of the cells in various groups;wound healing assay was used to detect the migration rates of the cells in various groups;ELISA method was used to detect the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in the cell culture supernatant in various groups.Results:The MTT results showed that the IC20 of apatinib was 1.32 μmol·L-1,and this concentration was used for subsequent experiments,and the X-ray irradiation dose for the follow-up experiments was 2 Gy.Compared with control group,the apoptotic rates of the cells in apatinib group and RT group had no significant differences(P＞0.05),while the apoptotic rate of the cells in combined group was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the migration rates of the cells in apatinib group,RT group,and combined group were decreased(P＜0.05);compared with apatinib group and RT group,the migration rate of the cells in combined group was decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the levels of VEGF in the cell culture supernatant in apatinib group and combined group were decreased(P＜0.05);compared with apatinib and RT group,the level of VEGF in the cell culture supernatant in combined group was decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Apatinib combined with radiotherapy significantly inhibits the proliferation and migration of the HepG2 cells in vitro and induces the apoptosis;its effect may be related to the inhibition of VEGF secretion by cells.

BACKGROUND:Gut microbiota is closely related to host energy balance and metabolism.The metabolites of intestinal flora can regulate the occurrence and development of obesity and can be a new target for the prevention and treatment of obesity. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the interaction between the intestinal flora and obesity,as well as the specific mechanism underlying regulation of obesity by metabolites of intestinal flora,thereby providing a new reference and basis for the prevention and treatment of obesity. METHODS:"Intestinal microbiota,intestinal bacteria,intestinal microbiota metabolites,short-chain fatty acids,bile acids,ipopolysaccharide,trimethylamine N-oxide,medium-chain fatty acids,tryptophan derivatives,obesity"were used as search terms in Chinese and English.Literature related to obesity from 1990 to 2022 was retrieved in PubMed and CNKI databases.According to inclusion and exclusion criteria,88 articles were finally selected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intestinal flora is closely related to the occurrence and development of obesity.For example,changes in the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of obesity,and the occurrence of obesity can be delayed by the colonization of probiotics such as Bifidobacterium breve,Lactobacillus and Akkermansia.Intestinal flora is mainly mediated by the metabolites of intestinal flora to participate in the regulation of obesity.For example,short-chain fatty acid can regulate adipogenesis by regulating signaling pathways such as G protein-coupled receptors 41,43 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ,thus delaying the occurrence and development of obesity.Bile acids can increase insulin sensitivity and body energy expenditure by promoting the activation of G protein-coupled receptor 5 and farnesol X receptor.In addition,lipopolysaccharide,trimethylamine oxide,medium-chain fatty acids and tryptophan derivatives are also widely involved in the occurrence and development of obesity through various signaling pathways.Further studies have found that metabolites of the same bacterial community exert heterogeneous effects in the specific process of regulating obesity via different signaling pathways.For example,under the influence of high-fat diet,acetic acids can activate the parasympathetic nervous system,leading to hyperphagia and liver insulin resistance and thus accelerating the physiological course of obesity.

OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for the separation of enantiomers of farrerol, and apply it to the determination of the content of enantiomers in Rhododendri Daurici Folium and Rhododendron Micranthum. METHODS HPLC was used to separate the farrerol enantiomers, and the chromatographic conditions of chiral column type, mobile phase ratio, flow rate, and column temperature were optimized. The thermodynamic separation of farrerol enantiomers was discussed. Thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy change, entropy change, enthalpy change and entropy change were calculated. And the contents of two enantiomers in Rhododendri Daurici Folium and Rhododendron Micranthum were determined under the optimum resolution conditions. RESULTS The optimum separation conditions for two enantiomers of farrerol were determined as follows: Chiralcel OJ-RH(4.6 mm×150 mm, 5 μm), equilibrium elution of acetonitrile-water(40∶60), the flow rate of 0.5 mL·min–1, the column temperature of 25 ℃, and the detection wavelength of 295 nm. Under the optimum separation conditions, the resolution of farrerol enantiomers reached 1.5, indicating that the two enantiomers of the farrerol could be completely separated. When the column temperature was between 20 ℃ and 35 ℃, the separation factor decreased with the increase of temperature. The lnα of the two enantiomers of farrerol showed a good linear relationship with 1/T, and the chiral reselution process was controlled by enthalpy. The enantiomer separation method of farrerol was applied to the determination of farrerol enantiomer in Chinese medicinal materials of Rhododendri Daurici Folium and Rhododendron Micranthum. The linear relationship between the two enantiomers of farrerol were good in the range of 0.718–57.44 μg·mL–1 and 1.28–102.24 μg·mL–1, respectively. And the contents of the two enantiomers of farrerol in Rhododendri Daurici Folium were 0.228 2 and 0.466 2 mg·g–1, respectively. And the contents of the two enantiomers of farrerol in Rhododendron Micranthum were 0.416 8 and 0.707 3 mg·g–1, respectively. CONCLUSION This method is simple, efficient and suitable for the determination of farrerol enantiomers in traditional Chinese medicine.

BACKGROUND:Intestinal flora and its metabolites can participate in the pathological process of osteoporosis and play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.In addition,exercise can regulate the intestinal flora and thus affect the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the effects and mechanism of intestinal flora on osteoblasts,osteoclasts,and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,and the potential role of exercise-mediated intestinal flora in regulating osteoporosis. METHODS:"Intestinal flora,intestinal bacteria,metabolites of intestinal flora,bone metabolism,osteoporosis,exercise"were selected as keywords.Literatures from 1990 to 2023 were retrieved from PubMed and CNKI databases. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Changes in the abundance and diversity of intestinal flora and changes in the levels of intestinal flora metabolites such as trimethylamine oxide and bile acid can be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis of osteoporosis.The imbalance of intestinal flora can lead to intestinal barrier dysfunction and excessive production of lipopolysaccharides and trimethylamine oxide,induce the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α and other inflammatory cytokines,activate the nuclear factor κB signaling pathway and aggravate oxidative stress,thus promoting osteoclast differentiation,inducing osteoblast apoptosis and affecting bone marrow mesenchymal cell migration.Remodeling intestinal flora homeostasis can inhibit inflammatory response,downregulate oxidative stress,inhibit osteoclast differentiation,promote osteoblast differentiation,and regulate the osteogenic migration of bone marrow mesenchymal cells to prevent and treat osteoporosis.Exercise can regulate intestinal flora homeostasis,improve intestinal barrier function,promote the secretion of short-chain fatty acids and bile acids,down-regulate serum lipopolysaccharide level,reduce oxidative stress,and then inhibit osteocyte apoptosis,inhibit osteoclast differentiation,promote osteoblast differentiation,and regulate osteocyte nutrient metabolism to exert the potential of preventing and treating osteoporosis.

Objective:To explore the application value of different methods of segmented latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap in repairing chest wall defects after local advanced breast cancer surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 64 patients with unilateral locally advanced breast cancer admitted to Shanxi Cancer Hospital from Feb. 2019 to Jan. 2020 were selected. All patients underwent modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer. The patients were divided into two groups according to the random number table method. Antegrade (group A, n=32 cases) and retrograde (group B, n=32 cases) were used to design and cut the segmented latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap to repair the defects. The range of skin island cut was 14 cm×6 cm-19 cm×7 cm; The donor area of the flap was closed directly. The application effects of the two groups of methods were compared. Results:In group A, one antegrade flap was partially necrotic, while in group B, six retrograde flaps were partially necrotic ( P>0.05). The delayed healing rate of donor site incision in group A was 6.25%, significantly lower than that in group B (25.00%) ( χ2=4.267, P=0.039). All the patients in both groups were followed up for 12 to 24 months, and the appearance and texture of the flaps were satisfactory; Only linear scar was left in the donor area, and the shoulder joint activity was not affected. The mean survival time was 20.8 months. Conclusion:The antegrade latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap can repair the large area defect of chest wall after LABC, which can ensure the blood supply of the flap to the greatest extent, reduce the closing tension of the donor area, the incidence of postoperative complications, and promote the healing of the incision.

Pulmonary blast injury has become the main type of trauma in modern warfare, characterized by externally mild injuries but internally severe injuries, rapid disease progression, and a high rate of early death. The injury is complicated in clinical practice, often with multiple and compound injuries. Currently, there is a lack of effective protective materials, accurate injury detection instrument and portable monitoring and transportation equipment, standardized clinical treatment guidelines in various medical centers, and evidence-based guidelines at home and abroad, resulting in a high mortality in clinlcal practice. Therefore, the Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized military and civilian experts in related fields such as thoracic surgery and traumatic surgery to jointly develop the Clinical treatment guideline for pulmonary blast injury ( version 2023) by combining evidence for effectiveness and clinical first-line treatment experience. This guideline provided 16 recommended opinions surrounding definition, characteristics, pre-hospital diagnosis and treatment, and in-hospital treatment of pulmonary blast injury, hoping to provide a basis for the clinical treatment in hospitals at different levels.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effect of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) on ionizing radiation (IR) induced ferroptosis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).Methods:TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 was used to establish dCK knockdown and different phosphorylation phenotypes cell models, and were treated with ferroptosis activator Erastin and / or ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) combined with / without X-ray irradiation. Cell viability was detected by MTT assay. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured by 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining. The expression levels of dCK, transferrin, transferrin receptor (TfR1), ferroportin (FPN) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) were detected by Western blot. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 17.0 and Origin 2021 software. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed by Mean ±SD. The comparison between two groups was conducted by Student t-test. The comparison among three or more groups was performed by one-way analysis of variance. Results:In MDA-MB-231 cells, IR induced cell death was observed and Erastin significantly promoted radiation induced cell death, while Fer-1 was able to reverse radiation induced cell death. Compared with the control group, IR induced cell death was increased, the level of ROS was suppressed in the dCK knockdown group. Erastin combined with IR induced reduced cell death and weakened ROS level. Fer-1 reduced the degree of IR induced cell death, and it could not inhibit the induction of ROS by IR.Compared with the control cells, the rate of cell death was decreased induced by IR, the level of ROS was decreased, the expression of FTH1 was down-regulated after IR in the dCK wild-type (dCK-WT ) or dCK hyperphosphorylated (dCK-S74E) MDA-MB-231 cells. In addition, Erastin promotes IR induced cell death and increased ROS levels, while Fer-1 significantly enhances the degree of reversal of IR induced ROS and cell death in these cells. Conclusions:dCK phosphorylation increases ferroptosis induced by IR in TNBC cells. Targeting dCK may be a novel therapeutic approach to overcome radioresistance in TNBC treatment.

Objective:To clarify the mechanism of Fat1 on the proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods:KYSE450 cells were transfected with Plko.1-puro-GFP-shRNA-Fat1 plasmid and real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to verify the efficiency of Fat1 knockdown. The effects of Fat1 and extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathway inhibitor U0126 on the proliferation of ESCC cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). Colony formation assay was used to detect the colony formation ability. Cell cycle was detected by live cell imaging. Western blot was used to observe the level of target protein. Mouse xenograft assay was applied to detect the effect of Fat1 knockdown on KYSE450 cell tumor growth. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of related proteins in tumor sections.Results:The efficiency of Fat1 knockdown was (77.1±6.9)% in Fat1 sh1 group and (77.7±7.1)% in Fat1sh2 group. Compared with the control group, the cell proliferation and the expression of p-ERK1/2 were significantly increased in Fat1 sh1 and Fat1sh2 group ( P<0.05). After U0126 treatment, the effect of Fat1 knockdown on the proliferation of KYSE450 cells disappeared, and the expression of p-ERK1/2 in KYSE450 cells decreased to a level similar to that in the control group. The number of cell clones in the control group was (72±8), lower than (155±28) and (193±9) in the Fat1sh1 and Fat1sh2 groups, respectively ( P<0.05). In KYSE450 cell, division time was shortened from 1 622±32 min in control group to 1 408±29 min in Fat1 sh1 group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the tumor volume of Fat1 knockdown group increased significantly. The tumor weight of control group and Fat1 knockdown group were (0.224±0.028) g and (1.532±0.196) g, respectively, at 4 weeks after inoculation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Fat1 inhibits cell proliferation via ERK signaling in ESCC.
