Objective:
To explore the associations between caregivers nutrition literacy and pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), so as to provide scientific evidence for the key contents of family intervention measures.
Methods:
In September 2022, a study involving 1 609 thirdgrade students and their caregivers from six schools in Yinzhou, Haishu, and Zhenhai Districts of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, was conducted. Venous blood samples were collected to measure lipid profiles and investigate the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among the children. Family Food Environment Questionnaire was used to assess the nutrition literacy levels of the caregivers. Generalized linear regression analysis was employed to explore the correlation between caregivers nutrition literacy levels and the prevalence of NAFLD in children.
Results:
Among the surveyed students, 191 were in the NAFLD group, whereas 1 418 were in the nonNAFLD group. The median nutrition literacy score of caregivers in the NAFLD group and nonNAFLD group all were 11.00 (9.00,12.00), which was not significantly different (Z=-0.40, P=0.71). The generalized linear regression results revealed that the level of nutrition literacy of caregivers had no significant effect on childrens Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and Triglyceride-glucose-Waisttoheight ratio (TyG-WHtR) [β(95%CI) were 0.001(-0.005-0.006) and 0.000(-0.014-0.014), P>0.05].
Conclusions
The nutrition literacy level of caregivers has no significant correlation with the direct incidence of NAFLD in children. As for family intervention measures, it is necessary not only to improve the nutrition literacy level of caregivers but also to effectively apply nutritional knowledge in practice to optimize health management.

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.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism through which calenduloside E inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cell proliferation and migration.Methods HCC cell lines HepG2 and Huh7 treated with calenduloside E were examined for changes in cell viability using CCK-8 assay and expressions of GPX4,SLC7A11,LC3,P62 and phosphorylation of Akt/mTOR using Western blotting.The effects LY294002 and Rapamycin(the inhibitor and activator of autophagy,respectively)on proliferation and migration of calenduloside E-treated HCC cells were evaluated using EdU and Transwell assays.The TCGA database was used to explore the expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 in HCC and normal liver tissues and their correlation with the patients'survival outcomes.GPX4 and SLC7A11 expressions were also detected in HCC cells and normal hepatocytes using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Results Calenduloside E obviously inhibited the viability of HCC cells.GPX4 and SLC7A11 were highly expressed in HCC tissues and cell lines,and their expression levels were negatively correlated with the patients'survival.In HCC cell lines,calenduloside E significantly inhibited the expressions of GPX4 and SLC7A11 proteins,activated the Akt-mTOR pathway,and enhanced the expression of LC3 II.The inhibitory effect of calenduloside E on GPX4 and SLC7A11 expressions was significantly enhanced by rapamycin but attenuated by LY294002.Inhibiting the autophagy pathway obviously diminished the inhibitory effect of calenduloside E on proliferation and migration of HCC cells,while activating this pathway produced the opposite effect.Conclusion Calenduside E inhibits the proliferation and migration of HCC cells by down-regulating GPX4 and SLC7A11 expression via the autophagy pathway.

Objective:To observe the toxic and side effects of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment combined with abemaciclib and endocrine drugs in the treatment of hormone receptor ( HR ) positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ( HER2 ) negative advanced breast cancer and the dose of abemaciclib under the influence of toxic and side effects.Methods:Patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer who received TCM combined with abemaciclib and endocrine therapy in Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Capital Medical University from March 2021 to February 2023 were selected, and the relevant data of East Asian population in MONARCH 2 and MONARCH 3 of abemaciclib random phase Ⅲ clinical study were extracted for retrospective cohort study. The TCM exposure cohort was divided into 20 cases of TCM + abemaciclib + fulvestrant group (EXP 1) and 22 cases of TCM + abemaciclib + aromatase inhibitor (AI) group (EXP 2). The East Asian populations in MONARCH 2 and 3 were non-exposed cohorts, which were divided into NEXP 1 group ( 146 cases ) and NEXP 2 group (102 cases). The safety analysis of the 2 cohorts was carried out, and the reduction and termination of abemaciclib taken by patients under the influence of toxic and side effects were counted.Results:①There were significant differences in CTCAE any grade, grade 2 ( χ2 values were 8.11, 4.59, respectively ) between EXP 1 group and NEXP 1 group, as well as in CTCAE any grade ( χ2=18.57) between EXP 2 group and NEXP 2 group compare the incidence rate of diarrhoea ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was significant differences in CTCAE ≥ grade 2 EXP 1 group compare the incidence rate of diarrhoea ( χ2=5.56, P=0.02). The incidence of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia in EXP 1 was [ 5 cases (27.78%) ] and in EXP 2 was [ 2 cases (13.33%)]. There were 65 cases (44.52%) in NEXP 1 and 30 cases (29.41%) in NEXP 2, and the exposed cohort were lower than those in the non-exposed cohort. The increase of GPT, GOT and SCr in the exposed cohort were lower than those in the non-exposed cohort. ② Compared with the non-exposed cohort, the first occurrence time of diarrhea and neutropenia was prolonged and the duration was shortened in the exposed cohort. ③ The patients in the exposed cohort were less likely to take abemaciclib reduction and discontinuation due to diarrhea, neutropenia, impaired liver function, and elevated SCr than those in the non-exposed cohort. Conclusion:TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment combined with abemaciclib and endocrine drugs is safe in the treatment of HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, which can effectively prevent and treat the toxic and side effects caused by abemaciclib, and reduce the drug reduction and discontinuation.
