Objective To establish a method of LC-MS/MS for determining cordycepin(Cor)and 3′-deoxyinosine(3′-Deo)concentration in rat plasma,and to study their pharmacokinetics in rats.Methods Protein was precipitated with methanol using 2-chloadenosine(2-Chl)as an internal standard.The chromatography was performed on Kinetex C18(3 mm×100 mm,2.6 μm,Phenomenex,USA)with gradient elution in aqueous(5 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate)-methanol solution as mobile phase.ESI ion source was used for mass spectrometry,and positive ion multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)was used for scanning detection.The pharmacokinetics of Cor and 3′-Deo after oral administration of Cor(10 mg·kg-1)were studied in rats.Results Cor at 0.5-100 ng·mL-1 and 3′-Deo at 1-200 ng·mL-1 had good linearity,and the lower limits of quantification were 0.5 and 1 ng·mL-1,respectively.After oral administration of Cor in rats,the plasma concentration of Cor was low,which was mainly converted into the metabolite 3′-Deo.The Cmax of Cor and 3′-Deo were(5.4±3.4)and(142.0±50.0)ng·mL-1,and AUC0-360min min were(658.4±459.3)and(18 034.9±4 981.1)ng·min·mL-1,respectively.Conclusion The method is simple,sensi-tive,and accurate,which is suitable for determining Cor and 3′-Deo concentration in plasma and the pharmacokinetic study.

Objective: To explore mental health status of vocational college students and its association with physical exercise and exercise motivation, so as to provide data support for the promotion of physical exercise, exercise motivation theory and the protection of mental health among vocational college students. Methods: From June 2 to July 2, 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 1 763 college students from three vocational colleges in Sichuan, Chongqing, and Guizhou for the survey. Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), Motives for Physical Activities Measure-Revised (MPAM-R), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Flourishing Scale (FS) were used to assess physical exercise, exercise motivation, depressive symptoms and flourishing levels of vocational college students. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between physical exercise, exercise motivation, depression as the negative indicator of mental health and flourishing as the positive indicator of mental health. Results: There were negative correlations between physical exercise, exercise motivation and their five factors with depression scores among vocational college students ( r=-0.162--0.133, P <0.01). Physical exercise, health motivation and pleasure motivation were positively correlated with flourishing and its eight factors among vocational college students ( r= 0.054 -0.099, P <0.05). Depression scores and flourishing scores varied significantly across students with different levels of physical exercise and exercise motivation ( F=11.18-15.69, 2.80-16.05, P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that physical exercise, health motivation, and total exercise motivation scores were negatively correlated with depressive symptoms ( β = -0.02 , -0.11, -0.35), and physical exercise, health motivation, pleasure motivation, and total exercise motivation scores were positively correlated with flourishing ( β =0.31, 0.32, 0.50, 0.30) ( P <0.05). Conclusions Physical exercise and exercise motivation are significantly associated with mental health of vocational college students. Enhancing physical exercise and increasing exercise motivation in aspects of health and pleasure can promote mental health of vocational college students.

The gut microbiota of infants is crucial for the establishment and development of immune system tolerance and responsiveness, as well as long-term health.Breast milk, as the only recommended source of nutrition for infants under 6 months old, possesses all the necessary nutrients and functional components for their growth, development, and health promotion.Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), as distinctive functional components that distinguish human milk from other mammalian milk, possess natural targeting properties to reach the colorectum in its intact form and are essential for the maturation of the gut microbiota, development of the digestive system and maintenance of the immune system function in infants, providing natural protection for the digestive and immune systems of newborns.This article reviews the latest research on how HMOs affect the development of the immune system and homeostasis in infants, and focuses on the mechanism by which HMOs control the gut microbiota and influence the immune system′s response through the gut microbiota-immune axis.

Sarcopenia, which is characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, has been well described to be associated with numerous poor postoperative outcomes, such as increased perioperative mortality, postoperative sepsis, prolonged length of stay, increased cost of care, decreased functional outcome, and poorer oncological outcomes in cancer surgery. Multimodal prehabilitation, as a concept that involves boosting and optimizing the preoperative condition of a patient prior to the upcoming stressors of a surgical procedure, has the purported benefits of reversing the effects of sarcopenia, shortening hospitalization, improving the rate of return to bowel activity, reducing the costs of hospitalization, and improving quality of life. This review aims to present the current literature surrounding the concept of sarcopenia, its implications pertaining to colorectal cancer and surgery, a summary of studied multimodal prehabilitation interventions, and potential future advances in the management of sarcopenia.

Objective:To explore the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES).Methods:The clinical data of 2 cases of FIRES admitted to Changde First People′s Hospital from 2020 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment methods and prognosis of the disease were discussed in combination with relevant literature.Results:Two children with FIRES were all acute onset, with fever as the first symptom, and status epilepticus appeared 3 to 5 days later. The efficacy of various antiepileptic drugs was poor. After ketogenic diet treatment, one child recovered well, and another child still had frequent convulsions under ventilator assisted breathing on the 27th day of admission. His family signed to give up the treatment. At the same time, compared with the domestic and foreign literature, the clinical characteristics of the two children are basically the same as those of the reported cases.Conclusions:FIRES is common in healthy children in the past. After seizures, it rapidly progresses to status epilepticus. MRI of the head and cerebrospinal fluid can have no characteristic changes. The effect of routine antiepileptic drugs is not good. Ketogenic diet can improve the condition of children, but the overall prognosis is not good.

Objective:To analyze the role of patient support system in multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) treatment adherence and outcome, and provide evidence for deepening the patient-centered support system.Methods:Based on the stakeholder analysis, definite stakeholders (administrators from the Department of Medical Insurance, and those from the provincial CDC), expectant stakeholders (administrators from regional CDC, health workers from primary CDCs, medical workers from designated MDR/RR-TB hospitals and MDR/RR-TB patients), and latent stakeholders (MDR/RR-TB patient families and their neighbors or colleagues) were selected using a purposive sampling. These stakeholders were subject to a semi-structured interview on patient support. The inclusion of participants ceased after reaching code or thematic saturation and meaning saturation, while thematic framework analysis was applied in interview data.Results:The 25 interviewees included could be categorized into three groups of stakeholders, i. e., 4 definite stakeholders, 19 expectant stakeholders and 2 latent stakeholders. Three themes summarized in this regard were definite stakeholders providing policy support to advance these patients′ access to standardized diagnosis and treatment services; diagnosis and treatment and management support of expectant stakeholders of these patients to encourage their compliance to treatment and enable their access to high quality medical care; and support from latent stakeholders as a critical guarantee for the patients to welcome a desirable treatment outcome. Psychological support provided under MDR/RR-TB basic care program in some provinces contributed positively to raising patients′ compliance. Economic support, treatment support from family menmbers ccould help the patients to welcome desirable outcomes.Conclusions:MDR/RR-TB patient-centered support system operating in the Yangtze River delta provide the patients with MDR/RR-TB diagnostic and treatment services of some accessibility. Given the progress, there are still shortcomings for the respective stakeholders to enhance their attention and collaboration to improve the access and equity to medical service.

Objective:To analyze the genetic landscape of multiple fusion genes in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and investigate the characteristics of immunophenotypes and mutations.Methods:The results of multiple fusion genes from 4192 patients with de novo AML were retrospectively analyzed from 2016 to 2020. In addition, the immunophenotypical data and the mutational results from high-through put method were statistically investigated and correlated as well.Results:①Among the 52 targets, 29 different types of fusion genes were detected in 1948 patients (46.47%) with AML, which demonstrated an "exponential distribution" . ② As the age increased, the number of patients with fusion gene increased first and then decreased gradually. The total incidence rate of fusion genes and MLL rearrangment in children were significantly higher than those in adults (69.18% vs 44.76%, 15.35% vs 8.36%) . ③The mutations involving FLT3 and RAS signaling pathway contributed most in patients with MLL rearrangment. ④No specific immunophenotypic characteristics were found in AML patients with MLL or NUP98 rearrangements. Conclusion:Nearly half of AML patients were accompanied by specific fusion gene expression, the proportions of different fusion genes in pediatric and adults patients were different by multiple PCR. The gene mutations and immunophenotype of these AML patients have certain rules.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the expression of chemokine-like factor-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family member 6 (CMTM6) in breast cancer tissues and its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients. Methods:Atotal of 136 breast cancer tissue chips (purchased from Superchip Company), including 42 pairs of matched cancer and paracancerous tissues, were used for this study. The expression level of CMTM6 in cancer and paracancerous tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. The comparison of CMTM6 expression between breast cancer and paracancerous tissues was conducted by paired χ2 test. The relationship between CMTM6 expression in breast cancer tissues and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients was analyzed by χ2 test. Kaplan-Meier and Log rank test analyses were used to analyze the relationship between CMTM6 expression and the survival of patients, and Cox model was used to evaluate the effect of different indicators on the prognosis of patients. Results: The expression of CMTM6 in breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues (P<0.01). The expression of CMTM6 was correlated with pathological type of breast cancer and HER2 positivity (P<0.05). The survival time of patients in CMTM6 high expression group was significantly shorter than that of patients in CMTM6 low expression group (P<0.05). Pathological type (HR=10.374, 95%CI: 3.529-30.497, P<0.01), TNM stage (HR=4.599, 95%CI: 1.784-11.856, P<0.01), triple-negative breast cancer (HR=3.370, 95%CI: 1.055-10.761, P<0.05) and high expression of CMTM6 (HR=0.195, 95%CI: 0.073-0.518, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for prognosis of breast cancer patients. Conclusion: CMTM6 is highly expressed in breast cancer tissues, which can be used as a risk factor for prognosis evaluation of breast cancer patients.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are able to reactivate the immune system therefore enhance the anti-tumor effects. However, over-activated T cells may induce immune related adverse events (irAEs). Hematological irAEs are rarely reported, which mainly represent as mono-lineage cytopenia or pancytopenia, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), neutropenia and aplastic anemia, sometimes even lethal, such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The clinical manifestations of hematological irAEs will be summarized and recommendations of diagnosis and treatment are proposed.
