BackgroundAnxiety exists as a prevalent psychological problem among college students nowadays, which brings negative influence on their normal life. Mobile phone addiction and loneliness both have an impact on college students' anxiety. However, the acting path of loneliness between mobile phone addiction and anxiety requires further exploration. ObjectiveTo analyze the relationships among mobile phone addiction, loneliness and anxiety in college students, and to explore the acting path of loneliness between mobile phone addiction and anxiety. MethodsOn December 21, 2023, 1 400 college students from a university in Henan Province were selected, in accordance with the simple random sampling method, for investigation of this study. Questionnaire survey was conducted by using several scales including Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and University of California Los Angeles-Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between the scores of each scale above, and SPSS macro program Process 3.3 was used to test the mediation effect. ResultsA total of 1 239 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 88.50%. The MPATS score of college students was positively correlated with both SAS and UCLA-LS scores (r=0.474, 0.387, P<0.01), and UCLA-LS score was positively correlated with SAS score (r=0.541, P<0.01). The indirect effect of loneliness between mobile phone addiction and anxiety was 0.160 (95% CI: 0.118~0.173), accounting for 33.97% of the total effect. ConclusionMobile phone addiction can positively predict anxiety among college students, and loneliness may act as the mediation path between mobile phone addiction and anxiety among college students.

Objective The aim is to utilize CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to construct Dmd gene mutant mice with a point mutation in exon 23 of the Dmd gene. Subsequently, the phenotypic changes of the mice in muscles and immune systems are analyzed and verified, providing an evaluation model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other related diseases.MethodsBased on the sequence characteristics of exon 23 of the Dmd gene, small guide RNA (sgRNA) was designed and synthesized. Cas9 mRNA, sgRNA fragments, and oligo donor DNA were microinjected into fertilized eggs of C57BL/6J mice. After transferring the fertilized eggs to surrogate mice, F0 generation mice were born. After mating with F0 generation mice, offspring mice were obtained, and Dmd gene positive mutant (DmdMu/+) mice were obtained after genotype identification. Male hemizygous DmdMu/+(DmdMu/Y) mice were selected for phenotype validation. The body weight of live 3- and 9-month-old mice were recorded. Muscle tension was evaluated through the grid test. Hearts and semitendinosus muscles were collected, and the histopathological changes were observed using HE staining. Further, the expression of Dmd protein in muscle tissue of 9-month-old mice was analyzed by Western blotting.An acute inflammation model was established in DmdMu/Y mice using lipopolysaccharide induction. Peripheral blood from the submandibular vein was collected, and the changes in the proportion of neutrophils and monocytes were detected by flow cytometry.Results The results of genome sequencing and Western blotting confirmed the successful construction of Dmd gene point mutant mice (DmdMu/+ mice). Dmd protein expression was not detected in skeletal muscle and myocardium of DmdMu/+ mice, and it was significantly reduced compared to wild-type C57BL/6J mice (P<0.05). Compared with wild-type mice of the same background, DmdMu/Y mice at 3 and 9 months of age showed significant weight loss (P<0.01) and decreased muscle tension (P<0.05). 9-month-old DmdMu/Y mice exhibited significant pathological changes in skeletal muscle and myocardium, including widening of intermuscular space. Under normal condition, compared with wild-type mice, the proportion of neutrophils and monocytes in the peripheral blood of 3-month-old DmdMu/Y mice was significantly lower than that of wild-type mice (P<0.01). After lipopolysaccharide stimulation, the proportion of neutrophils in peripheral blood of 3-month-old DmdMu/Y mice remained significantly lower compared to that of wild-type mice (P<0.01). The proportion of neutrophils in peripheral blood of 9-month-old DmdMu/Y mice significantly decreased after lipopolysaccharide induction (P<0.01), with a trend of change observed in monocytes between groups.Conclusion The successful construction of the Dmd gene mutant mouse model has confirmed the vital function of Dmd gene in maintaining normal muscle tissue morphology and muscle tone. It preliminarily indicated that Dmd gene deletion could significantly reduce the proportion of neutrophils in peripheral blood, offering a new perspective for the study of immune system alterations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients.

ObjectiveTo study the intervention effect of Bixie Fenqingwan on hyperuricemia (HUA) rats by regulating urate transporters. MethodSixty healthy rats were randomly divided into normal, model, allopurinol (0.03 g·kg-1), and Bixie Fenqingwan low-, medium- and high-dose (0.8, 1.6, 3.2 g·kg-1) groups, 10 in each group. Except the normal group, the other rats were given potassium oxonate 1.5 g·kg-1 and adenine 0.1 g·kg-1 for 28 consecutive days to establish the HUA rat model, and rats with increased serum uric acid (SUA) were considered successfully modeled. After modeling, corresponding drugs were given to the groups, once per day. Urine and blood was collected after 24 h of the final administration. The levels of urine uric acid (UUA), SUA, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) were measured by enzymatic colorimetry. The rat kidneys were taken and weighed to calculate the kidney index. The pathological changes of kidney tissue were observed by haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The protein and mRNA expressions of urate transporter 1 (URAT1), glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter protein G2 (ABCG2), organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and organic anion 3 transporter (OAT3) in kidney tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), respectively. ResultCompared with the conditions in the normal group, the kidney index, levels of SUA, BUN and SCr, and protein and mRNA expressions of URAT1 and GLUT9 in kidney tissue were increased (P<0.05), while the UUA level and protein and mRNA expressions of OAT1, OAT3 and ABCG2 were decreased in the model group (P<0.05). In addition, there was compensatory dilatation with urate crystals and protein casts in renal tubules in the model group. Compared with the model group, the intervention groups had lowered kidney index (P<0.05), reduced levels of SUA, BUN and SCr (P<0.05), down-regulated protein and mRNA expressions of URAT1 and GLUT9 (P<0.05), elevated UUA level (P<0.05) and up-regulated protein and mRNA expressions of OAT1, OAT3 and ABCG2 (P<0.05), and the kidney tissue lesions were alleviated (P<0.05). ConclusionBixie Fenqingwan has intervention effect on HUA, and its mechanism may be related to regulating urate transporters.

Ischemic stroke, an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by sudden arterial occlusion, is characterized by high morbidity, high mortality, and high disability rate. It is a major cause of the occurrence and death of neurologic diseases in the world. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway is a classic pathway for cellular metabolism, growth, and apoptosis. In recent years, Chinese medicine has played an important role in the treatment of ischemic stroke because of the small side effects and wide range of targets and has received extensive attention. The compound prescriptions and extracts of Chinese medicines can treat diseases via multiple targets and pathways. Researchers have extensively studied the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke and the pathophysiological mechanism of drug intervention in the treatment of ischemic stroke and have demonstrated that PI3K/Akt signaling pathway plays a key role in this process. The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is involved in the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke by regulating pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress response, apoptosis, and autophagy, in which Chinese medicines play a regulatory role. This paper reviews the relationship between PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and ischemic stroke and the mechanism of Chinese medicine in treating ischemic stroke by regulating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, aiming to provide a new theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of stroke.
