Abstract Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) exposure is a pressing and severe global public health issue. Children and adolescents exposed to multiple ACEs are highly susceptible to toxic stress and impaired physiological functioning, which significantly jeopardize their physical and mental health. Effective prevention and intervention strategies can reduce the prevalence of ACEs and mitigate their severe impacts, thereby minimizing the long term detrimental consequences on future outcomes. The review provides a comprehensive review of intervention strategies across four dimensions: individual, family, school, and public services/policy, so as to establish a theoretical foundation for implementing effective interventions for children and adolescents exposed to adverse childhood experiences.

Guided by molecular networking, nine novel curvularin derivatives (1-9) and 16 known analogs (10-25) were isolated from the hydrothermal vent sediment fungus Penicillium sp. HL-50. Notably, compounds 5-7 represented a hybrid of curvularin and purine. The structures and absolute configurations of compounds 1-9 were elucidated via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, ¹³C NMR calculation, modified Mosher's method, and chemical derivatization. Investigation of anti-inflammatory activities revealed that compounds 7-9, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 18 exhibited significant suppressive effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 0.44 to 4.40 μmol·L^-1. Furthermore, these bioactive compounds were found to suppress the expression of inflammation-related proteins, including inducible NO synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), NLR family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Additional studies demonstrated that the novel compound 7 possessed potent anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the transcription of inflammation-related genes, downregulating the expression of inflammation-related proteins, and inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines, indicating its potential application in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

There exist risks of ionizing radiation in radiodiagnosis examinations. Implementing shielding protection following the optimization and as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) principles represents a measure to reduce radiation doses to patients. The implementation of shielding protection in clinical practices should meet high requirements due to variations in the modalities and items in radiodiagnosis examinations, the characteristics and irradiation method of X-ray beams, the method of automatic selection of image quality and radiation dose-related parameters by imaging equipment, the radiation sensitivity of human tissues and organs. This review introduced the shielding products, methods and effects in various radiodiagnosis examinations, as well as the current status and challenges in their applications, aiming to provide a reference for future related research and clinical practices.

Objective To explore the risk factors associated with the development of acute respir-atory distress syndrome(ARDS)in patients with severe traumatic brain injury(sTBI)and to construct and validate a risk prediction model for ARDS in these patients.Methods Clinical data from 371 sTBI patients admitted to Yangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University between January 2017 and December 2023 were retrospectively collected.Patients were randomly divided into modeling group(n=259)and validation group(n=112)at a 7-to-3 ratio.A nomogram model was constructed after screening for risk factors using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO)and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Model performance was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,area under the curve(AUC),Hosmer-Lemeshow test,calibration curve,and deci-sion curve analysis(DCA).Results Statistically significant differences were observed in heart rate,respiratory rate,pupil size,percutaneous oxygen saturation(SpO2),Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score,Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score,head Ab-breviated Injury Scale(AIS)score,chest AIS score,emergency intubation,pulmonary infection,associated chest trauma,midline shift,blood transfusion within 12 hours of admission,fluid intake within 24 hours of admission,shock,mechanical ventilation,hemoglobin level,hematocrit,white blood cell count,prothrombin time,international normalized ratio,total protein,albumin,serum calcium,oxygenation index,and base excess between the two groups(P＜0.05).Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis revealed that SpO2,pulmonary infection,and fluid intake within 24 hours of admission were predictors of ARDS in sTBI patients.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test results for the modeling and validation groups showed good fit(x2=10.373,P=0.240;x2=13.21,P=0.105).DCA results for both groups indicated net benefit at threshold probabilities ranging from 0％to 72％and 0％to 50％,respectively.Conclusion SpO2,pulmonary infection,and fluid in-take within 24 hours of admission are risk factors for ARDS in sTBI patients.The model constructed using these factors demonstrates good performance and provides a reliable tool for clinical screening of high-risk ARDS populations among sTBI patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Anmeidan （AMD） on neuroinflammation in the hippocampus of sleep-deprived rats. MethodsSD rats were randomly divided into four groups （n = 10 per group）： control group， model group， AMD group， and melatonin group. A sleep deprivation model was established using the modified multiple platform water environment method. The AMD group received AMD at a dose of 18.18 g·kg^-1·d^-1， the melatonin group received melatonin at 100 mg·kg^-1·d^-1， and the control and model groups were given an equal volume of pure water. All treatments were administered by gavage for four weeks. Spontaneous activity was assessed using an animal behavior video system. Serum levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Hippocampal pyramidal neuron morphology was examined using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and ultrastructural changes of hippocampal neurons were observed via transmission electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） and nerve growth factor （NGF） in the hippocampus. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the expression of nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， phosphorylated NF-κB （p-NF-κB）， NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）， and Caspase-1 proteins. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed a significant increase in activity duration and frequency （P<0.01）， increased hippocampal pyramidal cell structural damage and decreased cell count， aggravated hippocampal ultrastructural damage， mitochondrial cristae disruption， and exacerbated vacuolization. The expression of p-NF-κB p65， NLRP3， and Caspase-1 proteins was upregulated， serum IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α levels were significantly elevated （P<0.01）， and the fluorescence intensity of BDNF and NGF proteins was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the AMD group showed a significant reduction in activity duration and frequency （P<0.01）， increased hippocampal pyramidal cell count with reduced structural damage， alleviated hippocampal ultrastructural damage， significantly downregulated p-NF-κB p65， NLRP3， and Caspase-1 protein expression （P<0.01）， decreased serum IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α levels （P<0.01）， and significantly increased the fluorescence intensity of BDNF and NGF proteins （P<0.01）. ConclusionAnmeidan alleviates hippocampal neuronal damage in sleep-deprived rats， potentially by downregulating the NLRP3 signaling pathway， reducing inflammatory cytokine release， and increasing neurotrophic factor levels.

With the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and an aging population,China's traditional segmented health-care delivery model is increasingly inadequate for meeting the growing demand for long-term,systematic health management.In response,the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model has emerged,aiming to enhance the quality and continuity of care through close collaboration between physicians and pharmacists.This paper starts from the concept and origin of"Physician-Phar-macist Co-management"model,focusing on its China-specific advantages shaped by national healthcare policies and clinical real-ities.Unlike the internationally recognized Collaborative Drug Therapy Management(CDTM)model,the Chinese approach re-flects local healthcare structures and needs.Using obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)as a case study,we examine the mod-el's application and value in managing chronic respiratory diseases.Data indicate that,after the implementation of"physician-pharmacist co-management"model in COPD patients,the CAT score decreased by approximately 24％,the annual rate of acute exacerbation-related hospitalizations declined by about 72％,and the proportion of patients with regular pulmonary rehabilitation exercise habits increased by roughly 3.3-fold.Additionally,the percentage of patients without adverse reactions rose from 47.37％to 64.41％,and the vaccination rate increased by about 2.7-fold.These findings demonstrate the model's significant advantages in improving clinical outcomes,enhancing patient adherence,and reducing healthcare costs.Despite benefits,howev-er,the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model in China faces several challenges,including limited public awareness,gaps in pharmacist training,and insufficient policy support.To address these challenges,this study recommends strengthening public education,establishing comprehensive evaluation systems for pharmaceutical professionals,and improving incentive mech-anisms.Overall,the findings suggest that the"Physician-Pharmacist Co-management"model holds considerable promise for im-proving the quality of chronic disease management,enhancing patient adherence,and optimizing healthcare resource utilization in China.

Acute lung injury （ALI） refers to the rapid onset of dyspnea, hypoxemia, and diffuse alveolar damage induced by various direct and indirect injurious factors, representing one of the clinically common diseases with a high mortality rate. However, there is currently a lack of specific therapeutic interventions targeting their underlying pathological mechanisms. Western medical treatment primarily relies on supportive care, and the existing pharmacological agents for ALI are predominantly corticosteroids, which, while efficacious, often accompany severe adverse effects. Recent research has revealed that numerous active components in Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） exhibit remarkable efficacy in the prevention and treatment of ALI, providing new insights into the therapeutic approaches for ALI. In this article, the pathological mechanisms of ALI and the roles and mechanisms of active components from TCM in the prevention and treatment of ALI were reviewed, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the development of new drugs for the prevention and treatment of ALI.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have found that Jiangu Formula can play a dual role in anti-osteoporosis therapy by inhibiting bone resorption and promoting bone formation,but its mechanism of action has not been elucidated.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Jiangu Formula on the coupling mechanism between bone resorption and bone formation at the cellular and molecular levels.METHODS:Serum containing Jiangu Formula was prepared and its toxicity to bone marrow derived macrophages was determined using MTT assay.The cell proliferation ability of MC3T3-E1 cells that treated Jiangu Formula medicated serum was measured by using cell counting kit-8 method.Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining was used to determine the bone resorption inhibition effect of serum containing Jiangu Formula on osteoclast differentiation.The Jiangu Fang conditional culture medium was prepared and the promoting effect of the conditional culture medium on bone formation of MC3T3-E1 was determined through alkaline phosphatase staining.The effect of serum containing Jiangu Formula on the mRNA levels of osteoclast associated sphingosine kinase 2,collagen triple helix repeat containing 1,and slit homolog 3 coupled genes,as well as the effect of conditioned culture medium on the mRNA levels of bone formation related secreted phosphoprotein 1,alkaline phosphatase,Sp7 transcription factor,and secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine genes,were determined by RT-qPCR method.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The MTT and cell counting kit-8 methods showed that serum containing Jiangu Formula had no significant cytotoxic effects at a concentration of<5%.(2)Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining results indicated that serum containing Jiangu Formula dose-dependently inhibited osteoclast differentiation at 2.5%,1.25%,and 0.63%concentrations.(3)The alkaline phosphatase staining results showed that the osteoclast conditioned medium of Jiangu Formula promoted osteoblast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner.(4)In addition,RT-qPCR results showed that serum containing 0.63%Jiangu Formula could increase the mRNA levels of osteoclast derived slit homolog 3 and sphingosine kinase 2 coupling factors,and the conditional culture medium could increase the mRNA expression levels of bone formation related secreted phosphoprotein 1,Sp7 transcription factor,and secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine.To conclude,the serum containing Jiangu Formula can promote bone formation while inhibiting bone resorption,and its mechanism may be related to the mRNA expression of the coupling factors osteoclast derived slit homolog 3 and sphingosine kinase 2 that promote bone resorption and bone formation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with tunneled esophagogastric fundoplication and diaphragmatic dome suspension-fixation (HHR-TEF-DDSF) in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 32 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who were admitted to Yifu Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from October 2024 to June 2025 were collected. There were 20 males and 12 females, aged (68±7)years. All patients underwent laparoscopic HHR-TEF-DDSF. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and intraoperative conditions; (2) postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were expre-ssed as Mean± SD, while measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages. Results:(1) Surgical and intraoperative conditions. All 32 patients successfully underwent laparoscopic HHR-TEF-DDSF. The operation time was (75±10)minutes, and volume of intraoperative blood loss was 50(50,100)mL. Among the 32 patients, there was no conversion to open surgery, no blood transfusion, no intra-operative complications such as unexpected massive hemorrhage or adjacent organ injury, no intra-operative adverse event or death. (2) Postoperative conditions. For the 32 patients, the time to post-operative first flatus was 1(1,2)days, the time to postoperative first defecation was 1(1,3)days, the time to postoperative first intake of liquid food was 1(1,3)days, the duration of postoperative drainage tube indwelling was 3(3,6)days, the postoperative hospital stay was 6(5,14)days, and the time to relief of postoperative dysphagia was 5(5,8)days. No obvious hiccup was observed in any patient in the short term after surgery. (3) Follow-up. All 32 patients were followed up for 7.5(range, 3.0-11.0)months. Among the 32 patients, 26 cases achieved subjective relief of overall postoperative digestive tract symptoms, and 32 cases achieved subjective relief of overall postoperative respiratory tract symptoms. The proton pump inhibitor (PPI) withdrawal rate was 84.4%(27/32), and the treatment satisfaction rate was 87.5%(28/32). The incidences of postoperative complications inclu-ding abdominal distension, dysphagia, diarrhea, and increased flatus were 21.9%(7/32), 18.8%(6/32), 6.3%(2/32), and 3.1%(1/32), respectively. Dysphagia was significantly relieved in all affected patients within 2 months after surgery, and no patient had persistent dysphagia by the end of the follow-up period. There was no death, symptom recurrence, or reoperation.Conclusion:HHR-TEF-DDSF is safe and feasible in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, with favorable short-term efficacy.
