Hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder driven by dysregulated lipid metabolism， whose pathological progression involves multifaceted interactions across various signaling pathways， including disrupted cholesterol homeostasis， insulin resistance， chronic inflammation， and oxidative stress. Although existing clinical medications such as statins can effectively reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol through single-target inhibition， significant limitations remain in comprehensively improving reverse cholesterol transport， metabolic inflammation， and coordinated regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. Curcumin， the primary polyphenolic active compound derived from the traditional medicinal herb turmeric， exhibits multi-dimensional pharmacological effects including modulation of lipid metabolism， improvement of insulin sensitivity， suppression of inflammatory responses， and enhancement of antioxidant defense. This review systematically integrates the multi-target regulatory network of curcumin， elucidating its key mechanisms： Balancing the low density lipoprotein receptor/proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 （LDLR/PCSK9） signaling pathway to promote reverse cholesterol transport， activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α/γ （PPARα/γ） signaling pathways to coordinate glucolipid metabolic homeostasis， remodeling the gut microbiota-bile acid axis， inhibiting nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB）-mediated inflammatory responses， and activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant response element （Nrf2/ARE） antioxidant signaling pathway. Furthermore， supported by clinical research data， the review validates curcumin's therapeutic potential in reducing total cholesterol （TC） and triglyceride （TG） levels， increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， as well as improving vascular endothelial function and insulin sensitivity. The study highlights the multi-target regulatory properties of curcumin and discusses future clinical applications based on nano-delivery systems and personalized treatment strategies， providing a theoretical basis and novel insights for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and related metabolic disorders.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） progresses to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis （MASH） due to mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance and dysfunction in hepatocytes caused by various factors such as lipotoxicity and inflammatory infiltration. Recent studies have confirmed that mitochondrial injury is closely associated with chronic inflammation， with extracellular vesicle （EV） acting as a key mediator linking the two processes. This article systematically reviews the molecular mechanisms of hepatocyte mitochondrial dysfunction in MAFLD/MASH， highlights the regulatory role of hepatocyte-derived EV in intrahepatic inflammation， and discusses the potential application prospects of mitochondria-targeted therapies and intercellular communication interventions in MAFLD/MASH， in order to provide a theoretical basis for developing novel therapeutic strategies for these diseases.

Objective:To discern the association between autism-like behaviors and resilience within the ado-lescent demographic.Methods:A total of 7 063 middle school students were selected to assess ASD-like behaviors and resilience in adolescents using the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire(ASSQ)as well as the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescent(RSCA).Subgroups bounded by P5 and P95 of the total ASSQ score,a comparative analysis of the resilience scores between these groups was executed.A correlation evaluation and linear regression a-nalysis was carried out between ASSQ and RSCA scores from all participants.Results:The RSCA scores within the high ASSQ scoring group,were inferior to those in the low scoring group.ASSQ scores were negatively correlated with RSCA scores for the full sample(Ps＜0.01);Social interaction scores on the ASSQ were negatively correlated with the five-factor RSCA scores(β=-0.23,-0.27,-0.11,-0.23,-0.37,Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:There was a negative association between autism spectrum disorder-like behaviors and resilience in adolescents,with more severe social interaction symptoms being associated with poorer resilience.

Objective To summarize the imaging characteristics of occult rib fracture(ORF),analyze the causes of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of ORF,and explore strategies to improve the detection rate of ORF.Methods A total of 142 patients with rib fractures who underwent multi spiral computed tomography(MSCT)were selected.The initial examination was conducted within 1 week after the injury,and follow-up examinations were performed at multiple time points after 1 week post-injury.A retrospective analysis was conducted to review the fracture detection and locations during the follow-up period.The time of fracture edge sclerosis or callus growth was observed in the young group(17 cases),middle-aged group(64 cases),and elderly group(61 cases).Results The anterior segment of the ribs was the predilection site for occult fractures,with 199 cases(53.4％).The missed diagnosis rates of fracture were higher for fractures near the costal cartilage segment and the posterior segment of the ribs,with missed diagnosis rates of 49.4％and 58.8％,respectively.Compared with the number of rib fractures identified in the initial examination,there was a statistically significant difference in the number of rib fractures at 3-6 weeks after injury(P＜0.05).The time of local sclerosis or callus growth in the young,middle-aged and elderly groups was(18.76±3.849)d,(26.14±6.597)d,and(37.69±5.726)d,respectively,with statistically significantl differences between the groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion MSCT has certain limits in diagnosing ORF in the short term after injury.Primarily observing the predilection sites and missed sites of occult fractures,systematically recognizing the imaging characteristics of ORF,and adopting the optimal detection-time window for patients of different age groups can reduce the missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate of ORF and improve the detection rate of fractures.This provides accurate and objective basis for clinical and forensic identification,with significant clinical importance and application value.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of action of Ginkgo biloba extract on schizophrenia based on oxidative stress-mediated damage to PV interneurons.Methods 54 SPF grade male mice were selected as experimental subjects,divided into blank group,model group,ginkgo biloba extract 50 mg·kg-1,100 mg·kg-1,150 mg·kg-1 group,and risperidone group.Schizophrenic mouse models were established by intraperitoneal injection of MK-801 0.3 mg·kg-1,and behavioral(open field experiment,Y-maze,forced swimming)tests were conducted.Blood samples and brain tissue were collected 24 h after the last dose,Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect changes in PV neurons in the mouse brain;Detect the content of MAD,GSH Px,and SOD in serum using a reagent kit;ELISA method was used to detect the levels of iron and lipid peroxidation in mouse brain tissue;Western blot was used to detect the protein level of GPX4 in the mouse brain.Results Compared with the model group,the Ginkgo biloba leaf extract 150 mg·kg-1 group and the risperidone group significantly reduced the spontaneous alternation rate of the Y maze and significantly shortened the immobility time of forced swimming(P<0.05);PV neuron staining with varying degrees of enhanced fluorescence intensity;The MDA content in the serum of mice was significantly reduced(P<0.01),while the contents of SOD and GSH px were significantly increased(P<0.05);The iron content in the mouse brain was significantly reduced(P<0.05),the ROS content was significantly reduced(P<0.05),and the GPX4 content in the mouse brain was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Ginkgo biloba extract has a significant improvement effect on negative symptoms and cognitive impairment in MK-801 induced schizophrenia mouse models,and can also improve PV neuron damage in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenia mice.Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of iron death mediated oxidative stress by Ginkgo biloba extract.

Objective:To analyze the effects of fertilization methods, quality of inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) on the sex ratio at birth (SRB) during single blastocyst transfer cycles.Methods:5 367 single blastocyst transfer cycles in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) of patients with successful pregnancy and delivery in Reproductive Medical Center of Zhanjiang Jiuhe Hospital from January 2010 to December 2022 were included in this retrospective cohort study. According to different types of embryos, the cycles were divided into fresh embryo group ( n=1 487, total population; n=1 258, ≤35 years old) and frozen-thawed embryo group ( n=3 880, total population; n=3 199, ≤35 years old). According to different fertilization methods, the cycles were divided into IVF group ( n=4 424, total population; n=3 667, ≤35 years old) and ICSI group ( n=943, total population; n=780, ≤35 years old). Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences of SRB among all the patients and the patients aged ≤35 years who underwent different embryo types and fertilization methods, and logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of ICM and TE ratings on SRB in each group of blastocysts. Results:There were 917 male infants (61.7%, 917/1 487) in the fresh embryo transfer group and 2 317 male infants (59.7%, 2 317/3 880) in frozen-thawed embryo transfer group. The SRB of the fresh embryo transfer group (160.9∶100) was slightly higher than that in frozen-thawed embryo transfer group (148.2∶100), but the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.201). There were 2 732 male infants (61.8%, 2 732/4 424) in IVF group and 502 male infants (53.2%, 502/943) in ICSI group. The SRB of IVF group (161.5∶100) was significantly higher than that of ICSI group (113.8∶100), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). In female patients aged ≤35 years, the effects of different embryo transfer methods and different fertilization methods on SRB were consistent with the results of total population. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the SRB of patients with ICSI was lower than that of patients with IVF, except for 3-6AA. There were significant differences in SRB between ICSI cycles patients (88.8∶100; 72.8∶100; 156.1∶100) and IVF cycles patients (130.7∶100; 124.8∶100; 206.3∶100) when the blastocyst grade was 3-6BB ( OR=0.679, 95% CI: 0.516-0.896, P=0.006), 3-6AB( OR=0.583, 95% CI: 0.421-0.809, P=0.001) and 3-6BA OR=0.757, 95% CI: 0.585-0.979, P=0.034). Taking 3-6BB blastocysts as reference, the SRB of 3-6AA and 3-6BA blastocysts were higher (IVF: OR=1.527, 95% CI: 1.258-1.854, P<0.001; OR=1.579,95% CI: 1.341-1.859, P<0.001; ICSI: OR=2.566, 95% CI: 1.661-3.966, P<0.001; OR=1.758, 95% CI: 1.250-2.472, P=0.001). Compared with 3-6BA, the SRB of 3-6BC blastocysts was lower (IVF: OR=0.621, 95% CI: 0.447-0.862, P=0.004; ICSI: OR=0.442, 95% CI: 0.238-0.818, P=0.009). Taking 3-6AB as reference, the SRB of 3-6AA blastocysts was higher (IVF: OR=1.600, 95% CI: 1.307-1.958, P<0.001; ICSI: OR=3.130, 95% CI: 1.964-4.987, P<0.001). Conclusion:The SRB of fresh embryo group is slightly higher than that of frozen-thawed group in single blastocyst transfer cycles. Different fertilization methods can affect SRB, and the SRB in IVF is significantly higher than that in ICSI group. The quality of blastocysts can affect SRB, and blastocysts with higher quality TE have significantly increased SRB, while ICM quality have no significant effect on SRB.

Objective:This study aims to explore the application effect of anticipatory risk intervention combined with health education under LEARNS mode in elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:This randomized controlled enrolled 126 elderly CHF patients admitted in Panzhihua Central Hospital between January 2022 and February 2023.They were divided into control group(n=63)and intervention group(n=63).All patients received routine nursing care,patients in control group received additional health education under LEARNS mode,compared to those in intervention group receiving additional anticipatory risk intervention based on control group,both groups were intervened for 2 months.Physiological indexes,negative emotion,quality of life,sleep quality,disease perception&control and self-efficacy,as well as incidence of adverse events,were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with patients in control group after intervention,those in intervention group had signif-icant lower systolic blood pressure(SBP)[(119.84±8.60)mmHg vs.(129.49±9.24)mmHg],diastolic blood pressure(DBP)[(81.59±5.08)mmHg vs.(88.51±6.36)mmHg],N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)[(2604.46±204.80)ng/L vs.(3024.87±212.27)ng/L],scores of Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)[(55.90±2.43)points vs.(60.11±2.62)points],Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)[(57.03±2.56)points vs.(61.54±2.66)points],Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire(MLHFQ)[(52.05±6.32)points vs.(60.46±7.10)points]and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)[(9.00±1.65)points vs.(11.05±1.96)points],and significant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(51.83±7.28)％vs.(47.57±5.98)％],scores of Control Attitude Scale-Revised(CAS-R)[(35.59±2.97)points vs.(30.60±3.52)points]and Gen-eral Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES)[(36.98±4.21)points vs.(30.52±4.14)points](P＜0.001 all).Incidence of adverse events in intervention group was significantly lower than that of control group(3.17％vs.12.70％,P=0.048).Conclusion:Anticipatory risk intervention combined with health education under the LEARNS model could effectively improve the physiological indexes,quality of life and sleep,enhance disease perception and self-effica-cy,and reduce negative emotion and incidence of adverse events in elderly CHF patients.

Objective:To explore the application strategies and clinical effects of superior gluteal artery perforator tissue flaps in repairing stage Ⅳ pressure ulcers in the sacrococcygeal region.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From July 2019 to April 2024, 89 patients with stage Ⅳ pressure ulcers in the sacrococcygeal region who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, including 59 males and 30 females, aged 21 to 84 years. There were 89 sacrococcygeal pressure ulcers, with an area of 5.0 cm×4.0 cm-21.0 cm×21.0 cm after debridement. According to the shape, size, and depth of the wounds after debridement, combined with the elasticity and texture of the skin around the wounds, and the principle of minimizing damage to the donor area, the appropriate forms of superior gluteal artery perforator tissue flaps were cut for wound repair in the following three conditions. (1) For wounds with a round shape, an area of 5.0 cm×5.0 cm-21.0 cm×21.0 cm, and a depth of 1.0-3.5 cm, the superior gluteal artery perforator propeller flap or myocutaneous flap, bilobed superior gluteal artery perforator relay flap, and bilateral superior gluteal artery perforator rotational flap were used. (2) For wounds with an oval shape, an area of 5.0 cm×4.0 cm-18.5 cm×10.5 cm, and a depth of 1.0-3.0 cm, the superior gluteal artery perforator propeller flap or myocutaneous flap, unilateral superior gluteal artery perforator propeller flap combined with contralateral superior gluteal artery perforator V-Y advanced flap or keystone flap were used. (3) For wounds with a fusiformis shape, an area of 7.0 cm×4.0 cm-17.5 cm×6.0 cm, and a depth of 1.5-5.0 cm, the unilateral or bilateral superior gluteal artery perforator V-Y advanced flap, superior gluteal artery perforator keystone flap, or superior gluteal artery perforator keystone flap combined with gluteus maximus muscle flap were used. In this group of patients, a total of 40 superior gluteal artery perforator propeller flaps (with an resection area of 11.0 cm×6.0 cm-17.0 cm×11.0 cm), 22 superior gluteal artery perforator propeller myocutaneous flaps (with an resection area of 10.0 cm×5.0 cm-14.0 cm×8.0 cm), 7 bilobed superior gluteal artery perforator relay flaps (with a main flap resection area of 5.5 cm×5.5 cm-18.0 cm×11.5 cm and a side flap resection area of 4.5 cm×3.0 cm-11.0 cm×6.5 cm), 5 bilateral superior gluteal artery perforator rotational flaps (with a total resection area of 20.0 cm×16.0 cm-26.0 cm×21.0 cm on both sides), 14 superior gluteal artery perforator V-Y advanced flaps (with an resection area of 12.0 cm×10.0 cm-18.0 cm×18.0 cm), 13 superior gluteal artery perforator keystone flaps (with an resection area of 13.0 cm×6.5 cm-19.0 cm×18.0 cm), and 3 gluteus maximus muscle flaps (with an resection area of 8.0 cm×3.0 cm-15.0 cm×4.5 cm). The donor area wounds were all directly sutured. The survival of tissue flaps was observed and the incidence rate of delayed wound healing in the reception area was calculated, and wound healing in the donor area was observed. The appearance and texture of tissue flaps and recurrence of pressure ulcers were followed up.Results:After surgery, all bilateral superior gluteal artery perforator rotational flaps, superior gluteal artery perforator V-Y advanced flaps, superior gluteal artery perforator keystone flaps, and gluteus maximus muscle flaps survived well. There were 6 cases of delayed wound healing in the reception area after surgery, with an incidence rate of 6.7% (6/89). Two patients had incision dehiscence in the donor area wounds due to postoperative bleeding, the wounds healed after debridement, vacuum sealing drainage, and dressing change. The wounds in the donor area of the remaining patients healed well. Six patients were lost to follow-up. Eighty-three patients were followed up for 3-48 months, of whom 4 patients died. Among the remaining 79 patients, 3 cases had pressure ulcers recur due to improper nursing, while the rest of the patients had tissue flaps with good appearance and soft texture and no recurrence of pressure ulcers.Conclusions:Based on the characteristics of wound shape, size, and depth after debridement of stage Ⅳ pressure ulcers in the sacrococcygeal region, individualized selection of flap, myocutaneous flap, or a combination of flap and gluteus maximus muscle flap based on the perforating branch of the superior gluteal artery perforator can achieve good clinical repair results. The postoperative tissue flap survived well, with a good appearance, soft texture, and less recurrence of pressure ulcers.

Objective:To explore the value of magnetic resonance examination in distinguishing invasive and non-invasive pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN).Methods:The clinical and MRI data of 167 patients with SPN who underwent surgery and were pathologically diagnosed at Zhongshan Hospital ,Fudan University from Oct 2013 to Oct 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There was no statistically significant difference between invasive and non-invasive SPN in terms of age, gender, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, location, growth pattern, tumor size, relationship with the pancreas, bleeding, and pancreatic duct dilation ( P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of tumor morphology, margins, capsule, cystic solid ratio, pancreatic atrophy, enhancement pattern, and enhancement features ( P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve for the combined indicators (tumor morphology, margins, capsule, cystic solid ratio, and pancreatic atrophy) was 0.679 (95% CI: 0.594-0.764), with a sensitivity of 73.7% and specificity of 70.9%. Conclusion:Magnetic resonance examination is helpful in distinguishing invasive and non-invasive pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms.
