AIM:The aim of our study is to investigate the metabolic profile differences during cervical lesion progression and evaluate their potential clinical value in assisting the diagnosis of cervical cancer(CC).METHODS:Ul-tra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry(UHPLC-HRMS)was em-ployed to conduct non-targeted metabolomic analysis of cervical swab samples from 43 CC patients,34 high-grade squa-mous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL)patients,and 43 healthy controls.Based on the distinct features among the three groups,principal component analysis(PCA)was used to identify the metabolic differences among CC,HSIL and healthy groups.MetaboAnalyst 5.0 was then employed to perform KEGG pathway enrichment analysis on the differential metabo-lites.Finally,random forest machine learning algorithm was used to construct classification prediction models for distin-guishing CC from healthy,HSIL from healthy,and CC from HSIL.The performance of these models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.RESULTS:A total of 1 543 metabolites were identified across the healthy,HSIL and CC groups after filtration,with 407 metabolites differing between the groups.The study found that metabolite PGE2 was present in all three groups,with its expression levels progressively increasing with the progression of cervical lesions.Differential metabolite enrichment analysis demonstrated that CC is associated with specific cancer-relat-ed metabolic pathways,including the tricarboxylic acid cycle,tyrosine metabolism,tryptophan metabolism,and the pen-tose phosphate pathways.Additionally,the study developed three prediction models based on metabolic products for diag-nosing HSIL and CC:the full model,the simplified model,and the PGE2 model.The results indicated that metabolites ex-hibited strong diagnostic efficiency.Both the full model and the simplified model effectively distinguished CC from HSIL,CC from healthy,and HSIL from healthy.The AUC values for the full model were 0.90,0.92 and 0.84,respectively,while those for the simplified model were 0.81,0.95 and 0.85,respectively.Furthermore,the PEG2 model achieved AUC values of 0.74 and 0.80 for distinguishing CC from healthy and HSIL from healthy,respectively.CONCLUSION:The metabolic profiles of cervical cancer exhibit significant differences during the progression of cervical cancer,and these metabolites hold potential clinical value as biomarkers for cervical lesions.

Objective:To investigate the relationship among mental health,maternal negative emotion and mother-child attachment in preschoolers.Methods:A total of 591 mothers of preschoolers from 8 kindergartens were selected.The Preschoolers Mental Health Scale(PMHS)was used to evaluate mental health of the preschool-ers,the Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS)and Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)were used to evaluate maternal negative emotions,and Maternal Object Relationship Scale-Short Form(MORS)was used to evaluate mother-child attachment.Results:The scores of SDS and SAS were positively correlated with the total scoresand scores of each dimension of PMHS(r=0.69-0.93,Ps＜0.001).The maternal SDS and SAS scores were positively associated with total PMHS scores(β=0.38,0.52).The products of maternal SAS scores and MORS scores were negatively associated with the total PMHS scores(β=-0.12).Conclusion:Preschoolers mental health is closely related to a maternal negative emotion and mother-child attachment.
