Objective:
To analyze the issuance of Chinese adolescents mental health promotion policies and policy objects, and to explore the use of different object policy tools and the effectiveness of the policy, so as to provide reference for the improvement of the subsequent policy.
Methods:
Adolescents mental health promotion policies published and policy documents that included adolescents in mental health promotion policies and regulations in China from 2014 to the present were obtained, with the search period of July to August 2024. Policy content and effectiveness were analyzed by using content cross tabulation analysis and Policy Modeling Consistency Index Model (PMC index model). It coded with Nvivo 20 software to understand the types of tools that policy depends on.
Results:
A total of 41 documents were included. The number of adolescent mental health promotion policy texts rose by year, most of which were issued independently, accounting for 70% of the total number of texts issued; 30% were jointly issued, with the Ministry of Education and the National Health Commission as the core subjects. Supply type policy tools accounted for 47.45 % of the total, while environment type and demand type policy tools accounted for 29.68% and 22.87% respectively; the use of policy tools by different policy targets varies, with families and social organizations using more supply type and demand type policy tools, while the education system and healthcare institutions were more inclined to supply type policy tools, and the government departments were more inclined to supply type policy tools and environment type policy tools. In terms of policy effectiveness, there was a common problem of a lack of incentives and constraints, and the PMC values of two long term planning mental health policies were high (7.76, 7.56), and both reached the excellent level.
Conclusions
China has paid more attention to adolescents mental health, and the basic guarantees have been established and overall policy effectiveness is good, but the use of policy tools is uneven. There is a need to improve the operational content of medium and long term policies and to strengthen synergies between implementing departments.

Objective:
To investigate the association between childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as well as coronary artery heart disease (CHD).
Methods:
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for childhood obesity were collected from the ECG consortium, encompassing information on children aged 2 to 18 years, including 18 613 cases and 12 696 controls. GWAS data for T2DM were collected from the DIAGRAM consortium, including 242 283 cases and 1 569 734 controls. GWAS data for CHD were collected from the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D consortium, including 10 801 cases and 137 371 controls. Pleiotropic genes associated with both T2DM and CHD were analyzed using the MAGMA, PLACO and conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) methods. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed using inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, exploring the causal relationships among childhood obesity, T2DM and CHD. Heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran's Q test, horizontal pleiotropy and exclude outliers were tested using MR-Egger regression and MR-PRESSO test. The mediating variables among the three diseases were investigated by using a mediation analysis.
Results:
The results of MAGMA, PLACO and cFDR analyses identified 80 pleiotropic genes associated with both T2DM and CHD, primarily distributed on chromosomes 3, 17 and 19. The MR analysis revealed that childhood obesity increased the risk of T2DM (OR=1.151, 95%CI: 1.033-1.283) and CHD (OR=1.158, 95%CI: 1.068-1.255), T2DM increased the risk of CHD (OR=1.182, 95%CI: 1.139-1.227), and CHD increased the risk of T2DM (OR=1.124, 95%CI: 1.055-1.198). The MR-Egger regression analysis showed no horizontal pleiotropy, and the MR-PRESSO test did not identify any outliers (all P>0.05). Mediation analysis indicated that childhood obesity directly increased the risk of CHD (effect value=0.096, 95%CI: 0.012-0.180) and indirectly increased the risk of CHD through T2DM (effect value=0.023, 95%CI: 0.005-0.041), with the mediation effect accounting for 15.65% of the total effect.
Conclusions
There are potential causal associations between childhood obesity and T2DM as well as CHD, with a bidirectional causal relationship between T2DM and CHD. T2DM also plays a mediating role in the association between childhood obesity and CHD.

ObjectiveThis study aims to reveal the mechanism of liver and kidney injuries caused by Dictamni Cortex and its interrelationship by metabonomics analysis of liver and kidney via ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). MethodsThe content of the marker compounds of Dictamni Cortex was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to carry out quality control. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a blank group (normal saline), an administration group (0.9, 2.7, 8.1 g·kg-1), and a high-dose withdrawal control group, with eight rats in each group. Continuous administration was performed once daily for 28 days. The liver and kidney injuries caused by each administration group were assessed by organ indices, pathological observations, and serum and plasma biochemical indices measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The potential biomarkers of liver and kidney injuries caused by Dictamni Cortex were screened, and pathway enrichment analysis and correlation analysis were performed based on UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. ResultsCompared with the blank group, both the medium- and low-dose groups showed insignificant damage to the liver and kidney of rats. The high-dose group exhibited the most serious damage, and the level of liver and kidney function indices [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (Cr), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)] and serum inflammatory indices ([interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in the serum were significantly changed (P<0.01). The liver and kidney metabolism pathways and differential metabolites were quite different. Among them, phenylalanine metabolism, niacin and nicotinamide metabolism, and glycerophospholipid metabolism were common pathways. Correlation analysis of differential metabolites showed that there were significant correlations among disorders of 4′-Phosphopantothenoylcysteine, PC (16∶0/15∶0), phenylethylamine, arachidonic acid, and linoleic acid in liver and kidney tissue. ConclusionThe decoction of Dictamni Cortex can cause liver and kidney injuries, and its mechanism may be related to oxidative stress and lipid metabolism disorders. The correlation of differential metabolites indicates the interaction between liver and kidney injuries.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of the immunotoxicity induced by dictamnine (DIC) in rats and the recovery effect after drug withdrawal by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, thereby providing a theoretical basis for elucidating the toxic mechanism of DIC. MethodsSD rats were randomized into blank (normal saline), DIC (10 mg·kg-1), and DIC withdrawal (recovery period) groups (n=8). The rats were continuously treated for 7 days, once a day, and the body weight and organ weight were recorded. The levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum and immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and immunoglobulin M (IgM) in the spleen were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the spleen. ultra performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was employed to screen the potential biomarkers of immune inflammation caused by DIC, and pathway enrichment analysis and correlation analysis were performed. The mRNA levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 (LPCAT2), and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in the serum were determined by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultsCompared with the blank group, the DIC group showed elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the serum (P<0.01), and the DIC withdrawal group showcased lowered levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the serum (P<0.01). The levels of IgA, IgG, and IgM in the spleen of rats in the DIC group were decreased (P<0.01), while those in the DIC withdrawal group were recovered (P<0.05, P<0.01). Untargeted metabolomics of the serum and spleen screened out 14 common differential metabolites and 14 common metabolic pathways. The Spearman correlation analysis between differential metabolites and inflammatory factors identified PC (32∶0), LysoPC (20∶4/0∶0), LysoPC (P-18∶0/0∶0), taurochenodeoxycholic acid, taurocholic acid, LysoPC [20∶5(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/0∶0], chenodeoxycholic acid, arachidonic acid, LysoPC (18∶0/0∶0), LysoPC (15∶0/0∶0), LysoPC (16∶0/0∶0), and LysoPC (17∶0/0∶0) as the biomarkers of immunotoxicity induced by DIC in SD rats. In the process of immunotoxicity caused by DIC, lipid metabolism disorders such as glycerophospholipid metabolism, primary bile acid metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism were enriched, which was consistent with the DIC-induced inflammatory factors and pathological characteristics of the spleen. Compared with the blank group, the DIC group exhibited up-regulated mRNA levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, LPCAT2, and FXR (P<0.01), and the up-regulation was decreased in the withdrawal group (P<0.01). ConclusionDIC can lead to immune and inflammatory disorders. DIC withdrawal can regulate the expression of biomarkers related to serum and spleen metabolites, regulate the inflammatory metabolic pathway, reduce the inflammation level, and alleviate the metabolic disorders, thus attenuating the potential toxicity induced by DIC.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and disease severity and pathological type of intestinal polyps in inpatients. Methods The data of 303 inpatients with intestinal polyps in the hospital from August 2022 to February 2025 were collected and analyzed. The clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed, and the influencing factors of pathological types of polyps were explored. Results Among the 303 inpatients with intestinal polyps, there were 135 Hp positive cases and 168 Hp negative cases. The number of polyps, maximum polyp diameter, number of ileocecus/ascending colon/transverse colon polyps, number of descending colon/sigmoid colon/rectal polyps and adenomatous polyps in the Hp-positive group were higher than those in the Hp-negative group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age [OR (95%CI)=1.03 (1.01-1.05)] and positive Hp[OR (95%CI)=2.61 (1.62-4.20)] were independent risk factors of occurrence of adenomatous polyps (P<0.05). ROC curve results revealed that the AUCs of age, positive HP and combination in the diagnosis of adenomatous polyps were 0.574, 0.608 and 0.646, and the 95%CI values were 0.509-0.638, 0.545-0.672 and 0.584-0.708 respectively. The efficiency of combination of the two indexes was higher than that of single diagnosis. Conclusion Hp infection is associated with disease severity in inpatients with intestinal polyps, and it may be involved in the occurrence and development of adenomatous polyps.
