To investigate the effects of Wogonin (WO) on learning and memory impairment, Aβ1-42 was injected intracerebroventricularly to induced a mouse learning and memory impairment model, and D-galactose was injected intraperitoneally to induced a mouse acute aging model. Mice were administered WO (75, 150, or 300 mg/kg) by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days. Cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze (MWM), novel object recognition (NOR), and open field tests (OFT). In the Aβ1-42 model, WO treatment (150 and 300 mg/kg) significantly improved the recognition index in the NOR test, while the 150 mg/kg group showed increased target quadrant preference in the MWM test. No changes in the total distance traveled in OFT. In the D-galactose aging model, the 150 mg/kg WO group exhibited increased platform crossings in the MWM test, and all WO doses (75, 150, and 300 mg/kg) enhanced target quadrant preference, with no alterations in spontaneous movement. Western blot analysis revealed that WO significantly attenuated hippocampal apoptosis in both models. These findings suggest that WO ameliorates learning and memory impairment associated with Alzheimer’s disease and aging.

ObjectiveBased on the new method of animal model evaluation， this paper summarized and analyzed the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） and Western medicine syndromes in existing autism spectrum disorder（ASD） animal models， and put forward suggestions for improvement. MethodRelevant literature on ASD animal models in China National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI） and PubMed were searched. According to the diagnostic standards of traditional Chinese and western medicine， core symptoms and accompanying symptoms were assigned values， and the clinical consistency of the models was comprehensively evaluated. ResultMost ASD model experimental animals were rodents， and the modeling methods included genetic and non-genetic. Domestic research focused on biochemical induction， while foreign research used genetic models more commonly. Among all models， valproic acid induction had the highest clinical consistency， followed by the neuroligin 4（NLGN4） and contactin associated protein like 2（CNTNAP2） gene knockout models. Most modeling methods could meet the characteristics of surface validity and structural validity， but did not clearly distinguish TCM syndromes. Currently， there is no model that has a high degree of clinical agreement between TCM and western medicine at the same time. ConclusionThe existing ASD animal models are mostly constructed under the guidance of western medicine， which lacks the characteristics of TCM syndromes. And the selection of evaluation indicators of western medicine is relatively single， without specifying the types of TCM syndromes. It is recommended to apply TCM intervention factors during the process of model preparation， to improve the evaluation indicators of traditional Chinese and western medicine， and to emphasize the study of on non-human primates， so as to lay a solid foundation for future experiments.

Objective To explore the relevant relationship and specificity between the implicit and explicit loyalty of military cadets in order to provide a theoretical basis and objective indicators for a more comprehensive and objective assessment for individual loyalty.Methods E-Prime 2.0,a classic implicit association paradigm was employed to construct an implicit association loyalty test for 64 military cadets.Simultaneously,an explicit loyalty measurement was conducted using the Chinese Military Personnel Loyalty Scale.Results ① Significant implicit effect was observed in the loyalty assessment of military cadets,indicating a general tendency to perceive higher levels of personal loyalty and lower levels of loyalty to external entities.② Explicit loyalty assessment revealed that the participants had the highest loyalty score towards the Party,the Nation,and the People(4.79±0.34),followed by the loyalty score to their profession(4.38±0.53),and the relatively lower loyalty score towards the unit and leaders(4.03±0.83).Among the 3 dimensions of loyalty,the normative loyalty score ranked highest,while continuance loyalty score took lower.③ There were no correlations among the scores of loyalty to the Party,the Nation,and the People(r=-0.030,P=0.823),to the profession(r=-0.047,P=0.728),to the unit(r=0.050,P=0.710),or to the leaders(r=0.043,P=0.749).Conclusion The implicit effect in the loyalty assessment is significant in military cadets,and there is no significant correlation between explicit and implicit loyalty measurements.Thus,we cannot rely solely on explicit measurements to assess their loyalty attitudes.

Objective:To explore the association between environment exposure and hormone-sensitive cough in patients with chronic cough.Methods:Clinical data of 197 patients with chronic cough visited outpatient clinic of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from June 2016 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 130 cases of corticosteroid responsive cough (CRC, 66.0%) and 67 cases of non-corticosteroid responsive cough (NCRC, 34.0%). The association between living environment exposure and hormone sensitivity was examined with a binary logistic regression analysis.Results:Among 197 patients with chronic cough, there were 82 males (41.6%) and 115 females (58.4%). 75.1% (148/197) had a history of smoking, and 16.8% (33/197) had a history of allergies. 66.0% (130/197) lived in the city center, 18.3% (36/197) had a chemical factory around their place of residence, 11.2% (22/197) renovated their homes within the first six months of the disease, 15.7% (31/197) purchase new furniture, 54.3% (107/197) plant flowers and plants in their houses, 21.3% (42/197) keep pets in their houses, 79.2% (156/197) had lived in their houses for more than 2 years, 71.1% (140/197) had cockroaches in their houses, 16.2% (32/197) had mold in their houses, 83.3% (164/197) had a frequency of air conditioning cleaning exceeds 2 months per time.There were 130 patients (66.0%) with CRC and 67 patients (34.0%) with NCRC.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that living close to the main road ( OR=2.296, 95% CI: 1.350-3.904, P=0.002), living near chemical factories ( OR=3.322, 95% CI: 2.158-5.573, P<0.001), history of allergy ( OR=2.175, 95% CI: 1.165-4.058, P=0.015), purchasing new furniture within 6 months ( OR=2.828, 95% CI: 1.402-5.706, P=0.004), cotton and linen curtains ( OR=1.875, 95% CI: 1.038-3.388, P=0.037) were positively correlated with CRC; while down and wool pillowcases and quilts ( OR=0.142, 95% CI: 0.033-0.602, P=0.008; OR=0.207, 95% CI: 0.067-0.640, P=0.006) and low ventilation frequency ( OR=0.281, 95% CI: 0.131-0.603, P=0.001) were negatively correlated with CRC. Conclusion:Hormone-sensitive cough patients account the most of chronic cough cases, and there are differences in the living environment exposure between CRC and NCRC patients, which provides information for corresponding interventions to prevent and manage CRC.

[Objective]To investigate primary and secondary transfer of exfoliated cells from human hands on non-porous substrates such as plastic steering wheel or computer mouse.[Methods]DNA detection sensitivity and detection limit for mixed DNA profiling were examined to understand our laboratory's ability to test for trace DNA.Forensic swabs were used to collect samples from volunteers'one-hour-long unwashed hands,substrates touched by volunteers'immediately or 30 min following shaking hands,and individual A's daily-use substrates touched by individual B and then by individual A again.Simulations were conducted to assess the potential for introduction of another person's exfoliated cells from hands into routine casework samples.[Results]Our laboratory can obtain a full DNA profile from as little as 0.020 ng of DNA and detect minor components in a 1:9 mixed DNA sample.85%of samples from unwashed hands yielded a full DNA profile.Primary transfer of a full DNA profile was found in 77%of substrates touched by volunteers'dominant hand 30 min after hand washing,allowing differentiation between good and poor shedders,with no significant difference in genders and substrate types.75%of substrates touched 30 min after hand washing and then immediately following handshaking yielded the other individual's DNA profile(secondary transfer),with the number of short tandem repeat(STR)loci detected ranging from 0 to 23;the percentage and number decreased substantially when the substrates were touched 30 minutes later.No foreign DNA was detected in routine casework samples with introduced exfoliated cells from hands.When two individuals took turns touching items with their hands,the major contributor to the DNA profile was not always the individual who made the last contact.[Conclusions]Primary and secondary DNA transfer can be detected on non-porous substrates,and based on the deposit of hand exfoliated cells,individuals can be categorized as good or poor shedders,which is an important factor affecting detection of DNA transfer.Besides considering the laboratory's DNA detection sensitivity,if DNA is detected on substrates by hand contact,we need to take into account the potential for secondary transfer at different levels of activity when interpreting the results.

As essential part of teachers' teaching practice, the design and arrangement of assignments is the main carrier of interaction between teachers and students, and is also an important learning way for students. According to the discipline characteristics and teaching modes of histology and embryology courses, we have developed a systematic assignment design model that covers theory, practice, and application with four types of assignments—pre-class assignments, exploratory assignments, practical assignments, and innovative assignments distributed before class, in class, after class, and throughout the teaching process. Behind this assignment design strategy is the concept of learner-centered teaching, which aims to help students learn professional knowledge and develop comprehensive literacy.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and mental health status through network analysis in college students, so as to provide empirical evidence for the development of targeted intervention programs. Methods: From October to November 2023, a survey was conducted on 1 974 college students from three universities in Hubei Province by using ACEs Questionnaire and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). The network analysis method was used to construct a network structure to analyze the association between ACEs and SCL-90 symptom factors among college students. Results: The network structure of SCL-90 symptom factors and ACEs was stable, each forming a relatively tight cluster; there were 89 non zero edges between ACEs and SCL-90 symptom factors. Emotional neglect-depression played a significant pathway role in connecting the ACEs and SCL-90 symptom factors network. Depression, anxiety, and interpersonal sensitivity of SCL-90 symptom factors had the highest centrality in the ACEs and SCL-90 symptom factors network. Emotional neglect and physical neglect in ACEs and depression and psychoticism in SCL-90 symptom factors had a high node bridge expected influence, acting as Touchpoints to activate the whole network. Conclusion Early identification and intervention of emotional and physical neglect, with a focus on depression, anxiety, and interpersonal sensitivity symptoms of childhood neglected individuals, which is beneficial for improving the overall mental health level of college students.

Objective:To explore the application value of histogram and texture feature analysis based on CT images in distinguishing long bone osteosarcoma (OS) from Ewing sarcoma (ES).Methods:A retrospective collection of 25 patients with long bone osteosarcoma and 25 patients with Ewing sarcoma confirmed by surgery and pathology in National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University Medical School, from March 2018 to May 2023 was conducted. All patients were randomly divided into a training set (21 cases of OS and 19 cases of ES) and a validation set (4 cases of OS and 6 cases of ES) in an 8∶2 ratio. The region of interest (ROI) on CT images to extract texture feature parameters was manually sketched. Random forest and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm were used for feature screening. Logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifiers were used to establish models respectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve was drawn and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the four models.Results:A total of 100 texture parameters were extracted from CT images, and 8 feature parameters (maximum 3D diameter, 10th percentile, kurtosis, maximum pixel intensity value, inverse normalization, grayscale level variance, long range high grayscale emphasis, and low grayscale area emphasis) were obtained through screening. Four classifiers were used to establish models, and the AUC values of the four models (LR, RF, SVM, KNN) in the validation group were 0.92, 0.79, 0.83, and 0.73, respectively. LR and SVM classifier algorithm trains models had high diagnostic efficiency, with an accuracy of 90%, sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 100%, and AUC of 92% for the LR classifier validation set; the accuracy of SVM classifier validation set was 80%, sensitivity was 67%, specificity was 100%, and AUC was 83%.Conclusions:LR and SVM models have high value in distinguishing OS and ES.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Q-Dixon fat quantification technique in differentiating vertebral metastases from hemangiomas in cancer patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients with vertebral metastases and 8 with vertebral hemangiomas who underwent vertebral MRI scans at the National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from December 2021 to December 2023. Two radiologists independently measured the fat fractions (FF) in three areas (the lesion area, the normal area of the same vertebra, and the normal area of an adjacent vertebra) and evaluated the consistency of measurements. Group differences were tested using independent sample t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, and diagnostic performance was assessed by plotting the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calculating the area under the curve (AUC). Results:There was very high inter-observer consistency in the FF measurements across the three regions. The FF in the lesion areas of vertebral metastases group was significantly lower than that in the vertebral hemangioma group (13.8 ± 11.5 vs. 56.5 ± 22.1), there was statistical difference ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the FF of normal vertebral areas between the two groups ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that FF could differentiate vertebral metastases from hemangiomas with an AUC of 0.931, a specificity of 90%, and a sensitivity of 87.5%. Conclusions:The FF measured by the Q-Dixon quantitative fat technique can accurately differentiate between vertebral hemangiomas and vertebral metastases, providing more precise guidance for the diagnosis of vertebral lesions.

Objective To investigate the current status and awareness of pharmaceutical services in hospitals in Guizhou province and to provide a reference for exploring and carrying out pharmaceutical service fees.Methods The questionnaire was designed by the"wjx.cn"website.Three kinds of questionnaires were designed for pharmacists,doctors,nurses,and patients as the research objects,with corresponding differences in some questions,and promoted on WeChat,Dingxiangyuan,and other network platforms.Results A total of 655 questionnaires were collected,and 639 valid questionnaires were recovered,with an effective recovery rate of 97.56%.324 pharmacists(50.70%),82 doctors and nurses(12.83%),233 patients(36.46%)were surveyed.The average approval score of these three groups of respondents on pharmaceutical service fees was 4.67,4.23,and 4.22,respectively(full score:5).Conclusions Overall,pharmacists'professional services have received support from medical staff and patients.However,patients'pharmaceutical service projects currently focus on dispensing services.The recognition of pharmacists'work and the public's awareness of pharmaceutical services can be improved by enhancing the professional ability of pharmacists,strengthening publicity and guidance,and exploring"Internet+pharmaceutical services",etc.,to promote the sustainable development of pharmaceutical services.
