Objective:To explore the related risk factors of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) by constructing and comparing nine regression models.Methods:All NEC patients admitted to the neonatal internal medicine department, neonatal surgery department, and neonatal intensive care unit of Shanxi Provincial Children's Hospital (Shanxi Provincial Maternity and Child Health Center) from 2020 to 2022 were included as the case group. A control group consisted of children admitted during the same period based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The NEC data collected were used for feature selection by using the Boruta algorithm. Logistic regression, multi-decision tree gradient boosting, efficient gradient one-sided sampling, random forest, decision tree, gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), neural network, support vector machine, and K-nearest neighbor models were constructed. The optimal model was selected through rigorous comparison and Shap explainable analysis was performed on the GBDT model.Results:Thirteen key factors were identified through screening for nine regression models construction. After strict comparison and analysis, the GBDT model showed higher stability compared with other eight regression models. In the validation set, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the GBDT model was 0.958, with an accuracy of 0.925, and sensitivity and specificity of 0.827 and 0.950, respectively. Shap explainable analysis on the GBDT model revealed that suffering from anemia, non-invasive ventilator use, procalcitonin use, premature birth, and low birth weight increased the risk for NEC, while breastfeeding and probiotics decreased the risk for NEC.Conclusion:This study identified the risk factors and protective factors for NEC by using the GBDT model, which provided evidnce for the prevention and treatment of NEC.

Simultaneous management of intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction and gut microbiota dysregulation represents a significant challenge in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Herein, we report a novel system that integrates multi-enzyme mimicking cerium single-atom nanocatalysts (CeSACs) with Lactobacillus reuteri probiotics (LR@CeSACs) for multipronged management of IBD. In this system, CeSACs demonstrate robust multi-enzyme activities across a broad pH range, effectively scavenging elevated reactive oxygen species, downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, and suppressing the expression of fibrosis-related genes. Moreover, probiotics promote the targeting and retention of the CeSACs for sustained catalytic antioxidant therapy. In turn, the inflammation relief enabled by CeSACs promotes bacterial viability, allowing for the rapid reshaping of intestinal barrier function and the restoration of gut microbiota. Therefore, LR@CeSACs exhibit excellent catalytic anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapeutic effects, as well as a certain prophylactic effect, as demonstrated in several murine models.

Atherosclerosis （AS） is a chronic inflammatory pathological process in which lipid and/or fibrous substances are deposited in the intima of arteries， and it is one of the pathological bases of many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Endoplasmic reticulum stress （ERS） is a protective mechanism of cell adaptation. Moderate ERS can reduce abnormal protein aggregation and increase the degradation of misfolded proteins to repair and stabilize the internal environment， while excessive ERS can cause unfolded protein reaction， activate inflammation， oxidative stress， apoptosis， autophagy， and other downstream pathways， and lead to cell damage， or even apoptosis. A large number of studies have shown that ERS mediates a variety of pathological processes related to AS， affects endothelial cells， smooth muscle cells， macrophages， endothelial progenitor cells， and other cell components closely related to its occurrence and development， influences the progress of AS by regulating cell function， and promotes the formation of AS plaque， the transformation of stable plaque to unstable plaque， and the rupture of unstable plaque. Regulation of ERS may be a key target for the prevention and treatment of AS， and it is a research hotspot at present. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） believes that the origin of AS is the imbalance of Yin and Yang， the disharmony of Zangfu organs， and the abnormal operation of Qi， blood， and body fluid， which leads to the accumulation of phlegm， blood stasis， and other pathological products in the pulse channels， making the blood flow blocked or misfunction and causing the disease， which belongs to the syndrome of deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality. As the pathogenesis of AS is complex， and the symptoms are diverse， TCM has significant advantages in treating AS because of its multiple targets， multiple pathways， stable efficacy， strong individualization， and high safety. This paper systematically elaborated on the role of ERS in the occurrence and development of AS and summarized the mechanism research on the regulation and control of ERS by Chinese herbal monomer， Chinese herbal extract， Chinese herbal compound， and proprietary medicine， so as to provide a theoretical basis for clinical research and drug development in the prevention and treatment of AS.

Objective: To compare the efficiency and biocompatibility of four different silanes on immobilizing c(RGDfK) peptide on titanium surface. Methods : After alkali-heat treatment (group OH), the titanium surface was treated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) (group OHAP), 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane (CPTES) (group OHCP) (3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) (group OHMPT) and 3-isobutyryloxy propyltrimethoxysilane(γ- MPS) (group OHMPS) to immobilize the c(RGDfK) cyclic peptide and constructa titanium-silane-c(RGDfK) coating. The NT group was the blank control group. The surface morphology and wettability of the coatings were detected using scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurement. The elemental composition of the titanium surface was analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. After fluorescent staining with 4’,6-diamino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and phalloidin, the adhesion of mouse preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells on the surface of the materials was observed using laser confocal microscopy. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assays were used to evaluate the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells on the surface of the materials, respectively. Results : Scanning electron microscope observation showed a spongy-like 3-dimensional network formed on the titanium surface after alkali-heat treatment with silane-c(RGDfK) coating adhesion. The wettability of each group was greatly improved compared to the untreated titanium surface. The element ratios of Si/Ti and amide-N/Ti in the OHMPS group were the highest. The OHAP group exhibited the best cell adhesion effect. The cell proliferation and ALP activity of the OHAP, OHMPT, and OHMPS groups were significantly higher than the control group (P <0.05); there was no statistical difference between the OHCP group and the control group. Conclusion MPTS, CPTES and γ-MPS covalently immobilized cyclic peptide c(RGDfK) on the titanium surface, which promoted adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Theγ-MPS conjugated C (RGDfK)cyclic peptide exhibited the best effect. MPTS, CPTES and γ-MPS coupled with c(RGDfK) cyclic peptides had similar biological properties.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of anxiety and depression on Internet gaming disorder in medical students， and to evaluate the moderating effect of gender， so as to provide references for the prevention and intervention of Internet gaming disorder in medical students. MethodsIn November 2021， a total of 11 771 medical students from a medical college in Sichuan province participated in an online survey through Wenjuanxing platform. Participants completed the Self-rating Anxiety Scale （SAS）， Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS） and the nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form （IGDS9-SF）. Then a hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted to discuss the moderating role of gender in the relationships between anxiety， depression and Internet gaming disorder in medical students. Results①Males scored lower on SDS （t=-8.302， P<0.01）， and higher on IGDS9-SF than females （t=33.384， P<0.01）. ②SAS score of medical students was positively correlated with SDS score （r=0.735， P<0.01）， SAS and SDS scores were positively correlated with IGDS9-SF score in medical students （r=0.288， 0.238， P<0.01）. ③Anxiety and depression could positively predict Internet gaming disorder （β=0.245， 0.058， t=18.864， 4.444， P<0.01）. ④Gender played a moderating effect between anxiety and Internet gaming disorder （β=-0.194， t=-4.518， P<0.01）. ConclusionAnxiety and depression have a positive predictive effect on Internet gaming disorder in medical students. Furthermore， the effects of anxiety on Internet gaming disorder are moderated by gender， and the anxiety of male students exhibits a markedly stronger impact on Internet gaming disorder than that of female students.

Objective:To investigate the association of blood oxidative stress level with hypertriglyceridemia in the elderly aged 65 years and older in China.Methods:A total of 2 393 participants aged 65 years and older were recruited in 9 longevity areas from Heathy Aging and Biomarkers Cohort Study, during 2017 to 2018. Information on demographics characteristic, life style and health status were collected by questionnaire and physical examination, and venous blood was collected to detect the levels of blood oxidative stress and hypertriglyceridemia. The linear or non-linear association between oxidative stress and hypertriglyceridemia was described by restrictive cubic splines (RCS) fitting multiple linear regression model. The generalized linear mixed effect model was conducted to assess the association between oxidative stress and hypertriglyceridemia.Results:A total of 2 393 participants, mean age was 84.6 years, the youngest was 65 and the oldest was 112, the male was 47.9%(1 145/2 393), the triglyceride level was (1.4±0.8) mmol/L. The hypertriglyceridemia detection rate was 9.99%(239/2 393). The results of multiple linear regression model with restrictive cubic spline fitting showed that MDA level was linear association with triglyceride level; SOD level was nonlinear association with triglyceride level. MDA level had significantly association with hypertriglyceridemia, and the corresponding OR value was 1.063 (95% CI: 1.046,1.081) with 1 nmol/ml increment of blood MDA; SOD level had significantly association with hypertriglyceridemia, and the corresponding OR value was 0.986(95% CI: 0.983,0.989) with 1 U/ml increment of blood SOD. Conclusion:Among the elderly aged 65 and older in 9 longevity areas in China, MDA and SOD levels were associated with the risk of hypertriglyceridemia.
