		                        			Objective:
		                        			To analyze the occurrence of unintentional injuries among college students and their association with sexual orientation and gender identity, so as to provide a targeted scientific basis for injury prevention measures and intervention strategies.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			From October 24 to November 18, 2023, a sample of 1 629 college students from two general universities in Beijing was selected using convenience sampling method. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information on the gender identity, sexual orientation and occurrence of unintentional injuries among college students in the past year. The Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), and Delaware Bullying Victimization Scale-Student (DBVS-S) were used to assess mental health, sleep quality, childhood trauma, and dysfunctional impulsivity status. Analyses of sexual orientation and gender identity were conducted. The  t-test and  Chi square test were used for intergroup comparison,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to examine risk factors for unintentional injuries among college students of different gender identities.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			The incidence rate of unintentional injuries among college students was 16.94%, with boys (17.08%) being higher than girls (16.90%). Compared with those who did not experience unintentional injuries (5.28± 3.60 , 118.68±41.38), college students who experienced unintentional injuries had poorer sleep quality and mental health status ( 6.38 ±3.93, 135.59±50.96)( t =-3.92, -4.26); the differences in the incidence of unintentional injury among college students with non suicidal self injury, interpersonal violence, childhood trauma, and different sexual orientations and gender identities were all statistically significant ( χ 2=28.75, 75.18, 9.83, 16.20, 4.13) (all  P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender and body mass index, non heterosexual orientation increased the risk of unintentional injuries ( OR=1.61, 95%CI =1.09-2.38), whereas existing non suicidal self injury behaviors ( OR=2.10, 95%CI =1.02-4.37) and poorer mental health status ( OR=1.54, 95%CI =1.05-2.27) increased the risk of unintentional injuries among non heterosexual college students (all  P <0.05).
		                        		
		                        			Conclusions
		                        			The incidence rate of unintentional injuries among college students is relatively high, with non heterosexual groups having increased risk of unintentional injuries. Mental health status and non suicidal self injury behaviors are important factors related to unintentional injuries among non heterosexual college students.

		                        			Objective  To analyze the types and distribution of microbiome in intestinal and lung tissues of children with asthma, and to explore the correlation between microbiota changes and asthma. Methods  From 2021 to 2023, a total of 28,939 children with asthma who visited Ezhou Central Hospital, Maternal and Child Health Hospital or Ezhou Egang Hospital were selected as the study subjects, and 2,000 healthy children who underwent outpatient physical examinations at these three hospitals during the same period were selected as the control group. The distribution and characteristics of intestinal and pulmonary microbiome in the two groups were analyzed by 16SrDNA sequencing. Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze the correlation between microbiota distribution and asthma occurrence.  Results  In the intestinal tissues of children with asthma compared to healthy children, the abundance of Bacteroidetes at the phylum level decreased, while the abundance of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria increased significantly (P<0.05), and the abundance of Prevotalle and Clostridium at the genus level increased significantly. In lung tissues of asthmatic children compared to health children, the abundance of Firmicutes at the phylum level decreased while the abundance of Proteobacteria increased significantly (P<0.05), and the abundance of Neisseria, Prevotella and Actinomyces at the genus level increased significantly. Binary logistic regression results showed that the abundances of Lactobacillus (OR=0.842, 95% CI: 0.533-0.947), Bacteroides fragilis (OR=0.649, 95%CI: 0.377-0.890), Bifidobacterium (OR=0.901, 95% CI: 0.633-0.994), and Parabacteroides distasonis (OR=0.547, 95% CI: 0.192-0.708) in the intestinal tissues were all protective factors for the asthma in children. In the lung tissue, the abundance of Neisseria (OR=2.140, 95% CI: 1.749-3.305) was a risk factor for the asthma in children, and Prevotella (OR=0.691, 95% CI: 0.491-0.926) was a protective factor for the asthma in children (P<0.05).  Conclusion  The dysbiosis of intestinal and pulmonary microbiome is closely related to the occurrence of asthma in children, and the detection of microbiota is of great significance for the diagnosis of childhood asthma.

		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effects and mechanisms of the flavonoid hyperoside (Hyp) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in the zebrafish model. MethodsZebrafish larvae were either microinjected with 0.5 g·L-1 LPS or immersed in 1 g·L-1 LPS for the modeling of inflammation. The larvae were then treated with Hyp at 25, 50, and 100 mg·L-1 through immersion for four consecutive days. The inflammatory phenotypes were assessed by analyzing the mortality rate, malformation rate, body length, and yolk sac area ratio. Behavioral tests were conducted to evaluate the inflammatory stress responses, and macrophage migration was observed by fluorescence microscopy. Additionally, the mRNA levels of inflammation-related genes, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2), chemokine C-X3-C motif receptor 1 (CX3CR1), chemokine C-C motif receptor 2 (CCR2), and genes associated with the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, were measured by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR). ResultsCompared with the pure water injection group, the model group exhibited increased mortality, malformation rates and yolk sac area ratio (P0.01), reduced body length (P0.01), increased total swimming distance and high-speed swimming duration (P0.01), and up-regulated mRNA levels of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB, IL-1β, IL-6, CCL2, CX3CR1, and CCR2 (P0.01). Hyp at low, medium and high doses, as well as aspirin, reduced the mortality and malformation rates (P0.05,P0.01), increased the body length (P0.05,P0.01), decreased the yolk sac area ratio (P0.01), reduced the high-speed swimming duration (P0.01), and down-regulated the mRNA levels of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB, IL-1β, IL-6, CCL2, CX3CR1, and CCR2 (P0.05,P0.01) compared with the model group. ConclusionHyp may modulate the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway to ameliorate inflammatory phenotypes and alleviate stress conditions in zebrafish, thereby exerting the anti-inflammatory effect.

		                        			ObjectiveTo explore the main mechanism of self-precipitation formed during the decoction of Sinitang(SNT), and to provide a research basis for exploring the differences in the toxic and effective components of this compound. MethodsThe average precipitation yields of SNT, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma(GRR)-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata(ALRP) decoction(GF), ALRP-Zingiberis Rhizoma(ZR) decoction(FJ), GRR-ZR decoction(GJD), ALRP decoction(FZ), ZR decoction(GJ) and GRR decoction(GC) were determined. The four main self-precipitation samples of SNT, GF, FZ and GC were physically characterized by particle size, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), pH, total dissolved solids(TDS), conductivity, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) analysis. The chemical compositions of SNT decoction and its different phases was identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS) for SNT, SNT self-precipitation and SNT supernatant, and the contents of its main toxic and effective components were determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). ResultsPrecipitation yield results of the 7 samples of SNT decoction and single decoction showed that SNT had the highest self-precipitation yield. The formation of SNT self-precipitation was mainly related to the reaction between ALRP and GRR components to form complexes, and FT-IR showed that GRR had the greatest influence on the formation of self-precipitation. A total of 110 components were identified in the SNT decoction, including 100 components in the SNT self-precipitation and 106 components in the SNT supernatant. And quantitative results of the main toxic and effective components revealed that the reaction between ALRP and GRR components formed complexes, resulting in the following content hierarchy for free components:SNT decoctionsupernatantself-precipitation, these components included free liquiritin, benzoylmesaconine, benzoylaconitine, benzoylhypacoitine, liquiritigenin, aconitine, hypoaconitine, isoliquiritigenin and ammonium glycyrrhizinate. ConclusionSNT exhibits spontaneous precipitation during compound decoction, with GRR exerting the greatest influence on its formation. This suggests GRR plays a significant role in the detoxification of SNT. The differences in the self-precipitated toxic-effective components of SNT compound decoction primarily manifest as changes in component content, reflecting the characteristics of SNT "deposition in vitro and sustained release in vivo" and the importance of "administered at draught" in the clinical application of SNT.

		                        			The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) released the "2024 ESC guidelines for the management of elevated blood pressure and hypertension" on August 30, 2024. This guideline updates the 2018 "Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension." One notable update is the introduction of the concept of "elevated blood pressure" (120-139/70-89 mm Hg). Additionally, a new systolic blood pressure target range of 120-129 mm Hg has been proposed for most patients receiving antihypertensive treatment. The guideline also includes numerous additions or revisions in areas such as non-pharmacological interventions and device-based treatments for hypertension. This article interprets the guideline's recommendations on definition and classification of elevated blood pressure and hypertension, and cardiovascular disease risk assessment, diagnosing hypertension and investigating underlying causes, preventing and treating elevated blood pressure and hypertension. We provide a comparison interpretation with the 2018 "Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension" and the "2017 ACC/AHA guideline on the prevention, detection, evaluation, and management of high blood pressure in adults."

		                        			Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment in clinical. Currently, there are no effective treatments for AD. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic approaches from different perspectives have been explored to treat AD. Although the drug therapies targeted at the clearance of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) had made a breakthrough in clinical trials, there were associated with adverse events. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of AD. Continuous neuroinflammatory was considered to be the third major pathological feature of AD, which could promote the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. At the same time, these toxic substances could accelerate the development of neuroinflammation, form a vicious cycle, and exacerbate disease progression. Reducing neuroinflammation could break the feedback loop pattern between neuroinflammation, Aβ plaque deposition and Tau tangles, which might be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Traditional Chinese herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and Curcuma were utilized in the treatment of AD due to their ability to mitigate neuroinflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin had been shown to reduce the level of inflammasomes in the body, and taking these drugs was associated with a low incidence of AD. Biosynthetic nanomaterials loaded with oxytocin were demonstrated to have the capability to anti-inflammatory and penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, and they played an anti-inflammatory role via sustained-releasing oxytocin in the brain. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells could reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the activation of microglia. The secretion of mesenchymal stem cells could not only improve neuroinflammation, but also exert a multi-target comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it potentially more suitable for the treatment of AD. Enhancing the level of TREM2 in microglial cells using gene editing technologies, or application of TREM2 antibodies such as Ab-T1, hT2AB could improve microglial cell function and reduce the level of neuroinflammation, which might be a potential treatment for AD. Probiotic therapy, fecal flora transplantation, antibiotic therapy, and dietary intervention could reshape the composition of the gut microbiota and alleviate neuroinflammation through the gut-brain axis. However, the drugs of sodium oligomannose remain controversial. Both exercise intervention and electromagnetic intervention had the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation, thereby delaying AD process. This article focuses on the role of drug therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, gut microbiota therapy, exercise intervention, and brain stimulation in improving neuroinflammation in recent years, aiming to provide a novel insight for the treatment of AD by intervening neuroinflammation in the future.

		                        			Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare disease characterized by the abnormal proliferation of pulmonary lymphatic smooth muscle cells. It is common in women and often accompanied by recurrent pneumothorax, chylothorax and progressive dyspnea, imaging characterized by diffuse cystic lesions in both lungs. Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis progresses aggressively and has a very poor prognosis, with a lack of effective medical treatment options in the advanced stages. Lung transplantation is a safe and effective method for the treatment of advanced pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis, which may significantly improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients. The median survival period after surgery can reach 12 years. This article reviews the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis, and the current status and existing problems of lung transplantation in pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis, aiming to provide a reference for the clinical treatment and subsequent research of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
