Objective:To analyze the etiological composition and clinical characteristics of infant hypertension，and provide reference for its diagnosis and treatment.Methods:This is a retrospective case-control study.Retrospective investigation and analysis were conducted on the clinical data of infants discharged from Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University with a diagnosis of "hypertension" from June 1，2016 to September 30，2021，including clinical manifestations，auxiliary examinations，treatment plans，and prognosis.Results:A total of 74 eligible children were collected，including 42 male infants（56.8%）and 32 female infants（43.2%）.A total of 67 cases（90.5%）had clear secondary factors，including 35 cases of kidney disease（47.3%），12 cases of connective tissue disease（16.2%），and 9 cases of hematological tumor disease（12.2%）.At the beginning of the disease，cardiac ultrasound showed that 54 cases（73.0%）had ventricular wall thickening，including mild thickening in 31 cases（57.4%），moderate thickening in 11 cases（20.3%），and severe thickening in 12 cases（22.2%）.After grouping by etiology，the incidence of proteinuria and severe hypertension in the renal hypertension group，as well as those receiving multiple antihypertensive drugs，was significantly higher than that in the non-renal hypertension group（ χ 2=28.493， P<0.001； χ 2=17.283， P<0.001； χ 2=17.358， P<0.001）；Renal disease was risk factor for severe hypertension in infants according to univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis respectively（ OR=11.176，95% CI：2.882~43.339， P<0.001； OR=11.669，95% CI：2.921~46.624， P<0.001）.Thirty-one children had follow-up records for 6 months or more，and 13（41.9%）still required antihypertensive treatment，of whom 26（83.9%）were no longer recorded as having elevated blood pressure. Conclusion:Infant hypertension is mainly secondary，with a high proportion of renal factors and predisposition to severe hypertension，which requires multiple antihypertensive drugs for control.Active antihypertensive treatment and removal of secondary factors during the acute phase are helpful for controlling hypertension in infants，but further research is needed on treatment options and long-term prognosis.

Objectives:To evaluate the predictive value of Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network(TabPFN) for short-term outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), and compared with the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGboost) model and traditional logistic regression (LR) model. Methods:Patients with sICH admitted to the Department of Neurology, Hefei Second People's Hospital from January 2018 to March 2024 were included retrospectively. The demographic and baseline data were collected. At 3 months after onset, the modified Rankin Scale score was used to determine the outcome, 0-2 was defined as good outcome and >2 was defined as poor outcome. All enrolled patients were randomly divided into a training set and a testing set at a ratio of 7:3. Feature selection was performed using recursive feature elimination (RFE) method, and then the selected feature variables were included into TabPFN, XGboost, and LR models for training and testing. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of the models. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) method was used for model interpretation.Results:A total of 547 patients with sICH were enrolled, including 367 males (67.1%), with a median age of 65 (interquartile range, 54-76) years. Two hundred twenty-six patients (41.3%) had poor outcome. Age, baseline blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure), baseline laboratory tests (white blood cell count, red blood cell count, platelet count, neutrophil count, hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, creatinine, uric acid, urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase), hematoma rupture into the ventricle, island sign, baseline hematoma volume, and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were selected as characteristic variables using RFE method. ROC curve analysis showed that the ROC AUC for TabPFN, Xgboost, and LR models predicting poor short-term outcome in the testing set were 0.918 (95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.870-0.966], 0.883 (95% CI 0.826-0.940), and 0.905 (95% CI 0.854-0.957), respectively. SHAP analysis showed that the top four important variables in the TabPFN model were baseline NIHSS score, baseline hematoma volume, baseline aspartate aminotransferase, and age. Conclusions:The TabPFN model is superior to the LR model and the XGBoost model in predicting poor outcome in patients with sICH. In the TabPFN model, baseline NIHSS score, baseline hematoma volume, aspartate aminotransferase, and age are the most important predictors of poor outcome in patients with sICH.Objectives To evaluate the predictive value of Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network(TabPFN) for short-term outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), and compared with the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGboost) model and traditional logistic regression (LR) model.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in differentiating tumor deposits (TDs) from metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) in rectal cancer. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with rectal cancer, including 168 lesions (70 TDs and 98 MLNs confirmed by histopathology), who underwent pretreatment MRI and subsequent surgery between March 2019 and December 2022. The morphological characteristics of TDs and MLNs, along with quantitative parameters derived from DCE-MRI (K trans , kep, and v e) and DWI (ADCmin, ADCmax, and ADCmean), were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Multivariable binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to assess the diagnostic performance of significant individual quantitative parameters and combined parameters in distinguishing TDs from MLNs. Results: All morphological features, including size, shape, border, and signal intensity, as well as all DCE-MRI parameters showed significant differences between TDs and MLNs (all P < 0.05). However, ADC values did not demonstrate significant differences (all P > 0.05). Among the single quantitative parameters, v e had the highest diagnostic accuracy, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.772 for distinguishing TDs from MLNs. A multivariable logistic regression model incorporating short axis, border, v e, and ADC mean improved diagnostic performance, achieving an AUC of 0.833 (P = 0.027). Conclusion The combination of morphological features, DCE-MRI parameters, and ADC values can effectively aid in the preoperative differentiation of TDs from MLNs in rectal cancer.

Traditional mass measurement methods are not applicable in microgravity environments,and the main challenge for in-orbit body mass measurement technology based on inertial principles is to address the random errors brought about by the weightless environment.These include additional torques due to shifts in the center of mass,nonlinear accelerations due to non-rigid human bodies,mechanical energy consumption due to organ vibrations,and random vibrations of the measurement device itself.To address the above difficulties,the project proposes a technical scheme based on the principle of linear acceleration,designs and constructs a ground-specific air-floating experimental and simulation platform,studies key data such as motion trajectory,acceleration change,and vibration frequency amplitude during the mass measurement process,and simulates the changes in the center of mass and random vibrations of the human body in a weightless environment.The project has designed an adjustable posture bracket to adapt to changes in the center of mass,enhance body restraint,and greatly reduce shaking;it has also developed an integrated four-bar linkage motion guidance mechanism,high-precision integrated photoelectric distance measurement,and modular motion constant force measurement device to ensure the accurate measurement of acceleration and constant force data.The product has undergone simulation calculations,ground human applicability tests,and in-orbit applicability verification in the space station.Ground test results show that the device achieves a body mass measurement accuracy better than 0.5%,and the dispersion is better than 0.38%;after flight mission verification and evaluation,the in-orbit body mass measurement dispersion is less than 0.4%,which is superior to the SLAMMD,a mass measurement device of the same principle on the International Space Station,and is at the forefront internationally,achieving accurate body mass measurement.

This study aims to explore the effects and mechanisms of the traditional Chinese medicine Cordyceps sinensis(CS) in ameliorating heart aging and injury in mice based on animal experiments and network pharmacology. A mouse model of heart aging was established by continuously subcutaneous injection of D-galactose(D-gal). Thirty mice were randomly assigned into a normal group, a model group, a low-dose CS(CS-L) group, a high-dose CS(CS-H) group, and a vitamin E(VE) group. Mice in these groups were administrated with normal saline, different doses of CS suspension, or VE suspension via gavage daily. After 60 days of treatment with D-gal and various drugs, all mice were euthanized, and blood and heart tissue samples were collected for determination of the indicators related to heart aging and injury in mice. Experimental results showed that both high and low doses of CS and VE ameliorated the aging phenotype, improved the heart index and myocardial enzyme spectrum, restored the expression levels of proteins associated with cell cycle arrest and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes(SASP), and alleviated the fibrosis and histopathological changes of the heart tissue in model mice. From the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP),259 active ingredients of CS were retrieved. From Gene Cards and OMIM, 2 568 targets related to heart aging were identified, and 133common targets shared by CS and heart aging were obtained. The Gene Ontology(GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes( KEGG) pathway enrichment revealed that the pathways related to heart aging involved oxidative stress,apoptosis, inflammation-related signaling pathways, etc. The animal experiment results showed that both high and low doses of CS and VE ameliorated oxidative stress and apoptosis in the heart tissue to varying degrees in model mice. Additionally, CS-H and VE activated the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) pathway and inhibited the expression of key proteins in the nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) pathway in the heart tissue of model mice. In conclusion, this study demonstrated based on network pharmacology and animal experiments that CS may alleviate heart aging and injury in aging mice by reducing oxidative stress,apoptosis, and inflammation in the heart via the Nrf2/HO-1/NF-κB pathway.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Dahuang Zhechong Pills(DHZCP) in delaying heart aging(HA) and explore the potential mechanism. Network pharmacology and molecular docking were employed to explore the targets and potential mechanisms of DHZCP in delaying HA. Furthermore, in vitro experiments were conducted with the DHZCP-containing serum to verify key targets and pathways in D-galactose(D-gal)-induced aging of cardiomyocytes. Active components of DHZCP were searched against the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCSMP), and relevant targets were predicted. HA-related targets were screened from the GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM), and DisGeNET. The common targets shared by the active components of DHZCP and HA were used to construct a protein-protein interaction network in STRING 12.0, and core targets were screened based on degree in Cytoscape 3.9.1. Metaspace was used for Gene Ontology(GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) enrichment analyses of the core targets to predict the mechanisms. Molecular docking was performed in AutoDock Vina. The results indicated that a total of 774 targets of the active components of DHZCP and 4 520 targets related to HA were screened out, including 510 common targets. Core targets included B-cell lymphoma 2(BCL-2), serine/threonine kinase 1(AKT1), and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit A(HIF1A). The GO and KEGG enrichment analyses suggested that DHZCP mainly exerted its effects via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway, HIF-1α signaling pathway, longevity signaling pathway, and apoptosis signaling pathway. Among the pathways predicted by GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signaling pathway was selected for verification. The cell-counting kit 8(CCK-8) assay showed that D-gal significantly inhibited the proliferation of H9c2 cells, while DHZCP-containing serum increased the viability of H9c2 cells. SA-β-gal staining revealed a significant increase in the number of blue-green positive cells in the D-gal group, which was reduced by DHZCP-containing serum. TUNEL staining showed that DHZCP-containing serum decreased the number of apoptotic cells. After treatment with DHZCP-containing serum, the protein levels of Klotho, BCL-2, p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT1/AKT1, and HIF-1α were up-regulated, while those of P21, P16, BCL-2 associated X protein(Bax), and cleaved caspase-3 were down-regulated. The results indicated that DHZCP delayed HA via multiple components, targets, and pathways. Specifically, DHZCP may delay HA by reducing apoptosis via activating the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signaling pathway.

Based on copper death, this study investigates the effect and mechanism of Shenmai Injection on isoproterenol(ISO)-induced myocardial fibrosis(MF) in rats. SPF-grade male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, model group, captopril(5 mg·kg~(-1)) positive control group, and Shenmai Injection low(6 mL·kg~(-1)), medium(9 mL·kg~(-1)), and high(12 mL·kg~(-1)) dose groups. Except for the normal group, the rats in the other groups were subcutaneously injected with ISO(5 mg·kg~(-1)) once a day for 10 consecutive days to establish an MF model. Starting from the second day after successful modeling, intraperitoneal injections of the respective treatments were administered for 28 consecutive days. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) and Masson staining were used to observe pathological changes and fibrosis levels in the myocardial tissue. Colorimetry was employed to detect serum Cu~(2+) concentration in rats. The levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-18(IL-18), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), as well as mitochondrial energy metabolites adenosine triphosphate(ATP), adenosine diphosphate(ADP), and adenosine monophosphate(AMP) in serum were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Western blot was performed to detect the expression of collagen Ⅰ(Col-Ⅰ), collagen Ⅲ(Col-Ⅲ), and copper death-related proteins dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase(DLAT), ferredoxin 1(FDX1), lipoic acid synthetase(LIAS), and heat shock protein 70(HSP70) in myocardial tissue. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of DLAT, FDX1, and HSP70, while immunohistochemistry was conducted to examine the expressions of DLAT, FDX1, LIAS, and HSP70. The results showed that, compared to the model group, the myocardial structure disorder and collagen fiber deposition in the drug treatment groups were significantly improved, the cardiac index level was reduced, serum Cu~(2+), IL-6, IL-1β, IL-18, TNF-α, ADP, and AMP levels were significantly decreased, ATP levels were significantly increased, and the expressions of Col-Ⅰ, Col-Ⅲ, and HSP70 proteins in myocardial tissue were significantly reduced, while the expressions of DLAT, FDX1, and LIAS proteins were significantly elevated. In conclusion, Shenmai Injection effectively alleviates myocardial structure disorder and interstitial collagen fiber deposition in ISO-induced MF rats, promotes copper excretion, and reduces copper death in the ISO-induced rat MF model.
