Anti-tumor drug research and development in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly developing, and the clinical application of high-throughput sequencing technology is also becoming widespread. Accordingly, researchers are focusing on human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) gene as a rare target of NSCLC, and a series of exploratory studies has been performed. Traditional chemotherapy and immunotherapy are unsatisfactory in the HER-2 mutant population, whereas the survival improvement of anti-HER-2 monoclonal antibodies and pan-HER inhibitors is limited. The development of antibody drug conjugate (ADC) ushers in a turning point for HER-2-mutated NSCLC, and new ADC drugs represented by trastuzumab deruxtecan are making a breakthrough. It opens up a new era of precision therapy for advanced HER-2-mutated NSCLC. Additionally, novel HER-2 inhibitors show very encouraging initial efficacy and safety, and clinical trials are ongoing. This review focuses on the latest progress of research on HER-2-mutated NSCLC.

Objective: To evaluate the comprehensive intervention effect of lunch for primary and secondary school students in Minhang District, so as to provide a theoretical and practical basis for lunch intervention in school. Methods: From October to December 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 1 937 students from one primary and secondary school in Minhang District.A comprehensive intervention measure focusing on "reducing oil and salt" for lunch recipe optimization and nutrition education was carried out, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the intervention effect three months later. Chi square test and Wilcoxon rank test were used to compare the data before and after the intervention. Results: After intervention, the use of cooking oil and salt, the supply of protein and fat in primary and secondary school lunches were reduced, and had no obvious impact on energy and other major nutrients. After intervention, compared to before intervention, the proportion of primary school students who felt that lunch was greasy decreased (8.9%, 6.2%, χ 2=4.35), and the proportion of primary and secondary school students who felt that lunch were delicious decreased significantly (33.2%, 23.2%; 63.9%, 53.5%, χ 2=26.39, 17.52) ( P < 0.05 ). Secondary school students also felt reduced variety of food ingredients (46.9%, 38.3%, χ 2=16.05, P <0.05). In addition, after intervention, the total surplus rate of primary school students meals decreased (7.4%, 4.4%, χ 2=5.73), mainly reflected in the decrease of the surplus rate of staple foods (7.1%, 2.4%, χ 2=17.39), while the surplus rate of vegetable dishes increased ( 16.0 %, 21.2%, χ 2=6.01) ( P <0.05). Although there was no significant change in the total surplus rate of meals for secondary school students, the surplus rate of staple foods decreased (12.9%, 5.4%, χ 2=33.52), while the surplus rates of meat and vegetable dishes increased (11.2%, 26.9%; 17.5%, 33.2%, χ 2=74.26, 61.88) ( P <0.05). After intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the overweight and obesity rates of primary school students ( χ 2=0.11,0.43) and secondary school students ( χ 2=0.01,0.00) compared to before intervention( P >0.05). After intervention, the lung capacity of primary school students [1 564 (1 269,1 890) mL] and sitting forward flexion [11.3 (7.6, 15.2) cm] increased compared to before intervention [1 522 (1 259, 1 819 ) mL, 10.5 (6.3, 13.5) cm] ( Z =2.20, 4.68, P <0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference in lung capacity and sitting forward flexion of secondary school students before and after intervention ( Z =-0.46, -0.08, P >0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive intervention of school lunch has promoted a significant decrease in the use of oil and salt in lunch and improved the quality of recipes, and has a positive impact on the situation of leftover lunch and the health of students to a certain extent.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of the Wenyang Jieyu prescription in regulating depression-like behavior in mice after maternal-infant separation combined with secondary stress. MethodsAfter birth， the rats were randomly divided into blank （NC） group， maternal-infant separation （MS） group， restraint stress （RS） group， maternal-infant separation combined with restraint stress （MRS） group， Wenyang group， Jieyu group， Wenyang Jieyu （XSF） group， and minocycline group. Maternal-infant separation was performed on day 5 （PD5）， followed by weaning at PD21 and prophylactic administration. The dose of Wenyang group， Xiaoyao group， XSF group and minocycline group were 5.85， 12.03， 16.71 g·kg^-1 and 50 mg·kg^-1， respectively. Restraint stress was applied on PD90. The model was evaluated using glucose， social interaction， open field， and O-maze behavior tests， as well as high-performance liquid chromatography to measure serotonin， dopamine， and other neurotransmitters. The expression level of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 （Iba-1） protein， a marker of hippocampal microglia， was detected by immunohistochemistry. Protein expression levels of Janus kinase 2 （JAK2） and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） in the hippocampus were analyzed by an automatic protein expression analysis system. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression levels of M1 markers， JAK2/STAT3 pathway-related genes， and cytokines in hippocampal microglia in each group. ResultsCompared with the NC group， the MRS group exhibited depression-like behavior， with significantly decreased levels of neurotransmitters in the hippocampus （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased expression of Iba-1 （P<0.01）， and elevated protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3 （P<0.05）. The mRNA expression levels of CD68， CD11b， IL-1β， JAK2， and STAT3 were significantly increased （P<0.01）， while IL-10 mRNA expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the MRS group， the XSF and minocycline groups showed some improvement in depression-like behavior. In these groups， the hippocampal neurotransmitter content was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and Iba-1 expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3 in the XSF group showed a downward trend. The mRNA expression levels of CD68， CD11b， JAK2， STAT3， and IL-1β in the hippocampus were significantly decreased in the XSF and minocycline groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while IL-10 mRNA expression was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionWenyang Jieyu prescription can regulate depression-like behavior in maternal-infant separation mice combined with secondary stress by inhibiting the polarization of hippocampal microglia to the M1 phenotype. The regulation of hippocampal microglia polarization by Wenyang Jieyu prescription may be associated with the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

ObjectivePatients with hepatic glycogen storage disease（GSD）have recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia. This study aimed to investigate and analyze blood glucose and biochemical indicators in pediatric patients with hepatic GSD， thus provide data support for hypoglycemia prevention and its clinical management. MethodsA cross-sectional field study was conducted among patients with hepatic GSD treated in the Department of Pediatrics of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital on July 14， 2024. We collected the peripheral blood samples of the patients and their healthy family controls on site， then analyzed and compared their blood glucose and biochemical indicators. ResultsOf the 44 patients with hepatic GSD， there were 34 males and 10 females， including GSD Ib（n =14）， GSD Ia（n=15）， GSD Ⅲ（n=2）， GSD Ⅵ（n=7）and GSD Ⅸ（n=6）. The average age was 7.60（5.08-11.98）years. All patients were on uncooked cornstarch（UCCS）therapy. Of the patients， 77.3%（34/44）had hepatomegaly， 61.4%（27/44）had recurrent hypoglycemia， 61.4%（27/44）had blood glucose ≤ 3.9 mmol/L， 18.2%（8/44）had blood glucose ≤ 2.8 mmol/L， and none of the 8 cases was GSD Ib. The lowest blood glucose level was 1.19 mmol/L and no episodes of hypoglycemia occurred. Of the family control subjects， 65.9%（29/44）had blood glucose ≤ 3.9 mmol/L. There was no significant difference in hypoglycemia prevalence between hepatic GSD group and control group（P=0.658）. The hepatic GSD patients had hyperlactacemia， hyperuricemia and hypercholesterolemia prevalence rates of 65.9%， 45.5% and 9.1%， respectively， as compared with 18.2%， 43.2% and 15.9%， respectively， for the family control subjects. No significant difference was found in the prevalence rates of hyperuricemia and hypercholesterolemia between the two groups（P=0.830 and P=0.334， respectively）. ConclusionsAsymptomatic hypoglycemia is common in patients with hepatic GSD， especially in non-GSD-Ib patients. It is necessary to optimize the diet management of UCCS， conduct dynamic blood glucose monitoring and follow a light diet， so as to decrease hyperuricemia and hypercholesterolemia， avoid and reduce the serious adverse reactions and complications caused by severe hypoglycemia.

ObjectiveTo improve the accuracy of discrete element method in simulating the processing of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） powder system under low shear conditions. MethodsIn this study， extract powders of Tongsaimai tablets and Qige granules were used as the research objects， the angle of repose（AOR） and effective angle of internal friction of the two materials were determined by AOR test method and shear cell test method. Based on the Hertz-Mindlin with JKR V2 contact model and particle scaling theory， taking the particle-particle restitution coefficient（A）， particle-particle static friction coefficient（B）， particle-particle rolling friction coefficient（C）， particle-steel restitution coefficient（D）， particle-steel static friction coefficient（E）， particle-steel rolling friction coefficient（F） and Johnson-Kendall-Roberts（JKR） surface energy（G） as test factors， the simulated contact parameters of Tongsaimai tablets extract powder were first calibrated with a single reference value using AOR as the reference value， and then the simulated contact parameters of Tongsaimai tablets extract powder as well as Qige granules extract powder were co-calibrated with AOR and effective angle of internal friction as the joint reference value， respectively. Then， Plackett-Burman design was used to screen the critical contact parameters that have a significant effect on the simulated reference value， and the steepest ascent design was used to determine the optimal range of the critical contact parameters， finally， the regression model between the critical contact parameters and the simulated reference values was established through the design of the response surface test， and the critical contact parameters were calibrated based on the regression model and the desirability function approach. ResultsThe optimal combination of discrete elemental contact parameters A-G for Tongsaimai tablets extract powder under a single reference value was 0.100， 0.718， 0.616， 0.100， 0.400， 0.250 and 0.075 J·m^-2， which was validated to have relative errors of 0.10% and -8.64% for the simulated AOR and the simulated effective angle of internal friction， respectively. And the optimal combination of discrete elemental contact parameters A-G for Tongsaimai tablets extract powder at the joint reference values was 0.100， 0.682， 0.598， 0.100， 0.521， 0.294 and 0.075 J·m^-2， which was verified to have relative errors of 0.10% and -0.18% for the simulated AOR and the simulated effective angle of internal friction， respectively. The optimal combination of discrete elemental contact parameters A-G for Qige granules extract powder at the joint reference values was 0.150， 0.370， 0.330， 0.150， 0.500， 0.500 and 0.100 J·m^-2， which was verified to have relative errors of 2.70% and -1.30% for the simulated AOR and the simulated effective angle of internal friction， respectively. Compared with the single reference value method， the joint calibration method not only increased the number of the critical contact parameters for characterizing particle-device interactions， but also was more accurate and reliable. ConclusionCompared with the results of single reference value calibration， the results obtained by the method of joint calibration of discrete element simulation contact parameters with AOR and effective angle of internal friction as the reference values are more accurate， which can provide more accurate and reliable simulation physical property data for the simulation experiments of TCM extract powder under low shear process conditions.

BACKGROUND:Buqi Huoxue Compounds have significant clinical efficacy in treating ischemic stroke with Qi deficiency and phlegm stasis;however,the exact mechanism of action is not clear. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Buqi Huoxue Compounds on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor,basic fibroblast growth factor,brain-derived neurotrophic factor and autophagy related protein Beclin1 and p62 in a rat model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. METHODS:Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,Buqi Huoxue Compounds group and autophagy inhibitor group,with 10 rats in each group.In the latter three groups,a rat model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury was established.The Buqi Huoxue Compounds group was intragastrically given Buqi Huoxue Compounds(6.49 g/kg,administered three times a day)2 hours after reperfusion;the autophagy inhibitor group was intragastrically given Buqi Huoxue Compounds(6.49 g/kg,administered three times a day)2 hours after reperfusion and intraperitoneally given 3-methyladenine 2 hours before gavage and at days 1-3 of gavage.The sham operation group and model group were given equal amounts of saline by gavage for 7 consecutive days.Neurological function,cerebral infarct volume,brain tissue morphology and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor,basic fibroblast growth factor,brain-derived neurotrophic factor and autophagy-related proteins Beclin1 and p62 in the ischemic cortical region of rats were detected at 24 hours after the final administration. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Zea-Longa scoring results showed that the neurological function of rats was severely damaged after modeling and neurological deficit of rats in the Buqi Huoxue Compounds group was less than that in the model group and the autophagy inhibitor group(P＜0.05).TTC staining showed that cerebral infarct foci were observed in the model group,Buqi Huoxue Compounds group,and autophagy inhibitor group,and the cerebral infarct volume in the Buqi Huoxue Compounds group was lower than that in the model group and the autophagy inhibitor group(P＜0.05).The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining in ischemic brain tissues showed that there were large gaps between nerve cells in the model group and cell arrangement was not neat,and cytoplasmic agglutination and pyknosis were observed.Immunohistochemical staining results showed that vascular endothelial growth factor was mostly expressed in neuronal cells,glial cells and capillary endothelium;basic fibroblast growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor were mostly expressed in neuronal cells and glial cells;and there was no significant difference in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor,basic fibroblast growth factor,and brain-derived neurotrophic factor among the four groups(P＞0.05).The results of western blot assay showed that compared with the sham operation group,Beclin1 protein expression was decreased(P＜0.05)and p62 protein expression was elevated(P＜0.05)in the model group;compared with the model group,Beclin1 protein expression was increased(P＜0.05)and p62 protein expression was reduced(P＜0.05)in the Buqi Huoxue Compounds group;compared with the Buqi Huoxue Compounds group,Beclin1 protein expression was decreased(P＜0.05)and p62 protein expression was elevated(P＜0.05)in the autophagy inhibitor group.To conclude,Buqi Huoxue Compounds attenuate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by promoting autophagy.

Metabolites produced as intermediaries or end-products of microbial metabolism provide crucial signals for health and diseases, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). These metabolites include products of the bacterial metabolism of dietary substrates, modification of host molecules (such as bile acids [BAs], trimethylamine-N-oxide, and short-chain fatty acids), or products directly derived from bacteria. Recent studies have provided new insights into the association between MASLD and the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, alterations in microbiota composition and metabolite profiles, notably altered BAs, have been described in studies investigating the association between MASLD and the risk of CKD. This narrative review discusses alterations of specific classes of metabolites, BAs, fructose, vitamin D, and microbiota composition that may be implicated in the link between MASLD and CKD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the demyelination induced by Angiostrongylus cantonensis （AC） infection in the brain of Balb/c mice and analyze the untargeted metabolomic changes in the corpus callosum， aiming to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. MethodsBalb/c mice were randomly assigned to a control group （n=6） and an infection group （n=6）. The infection group was orally administered 30 third-stage larvae of AC， while the control group received an equal volume of saline. Body weight， visual function， and behavioral scores were measured on post-infection 3， 6， 9， 12， 15， 18， and 21 days to assess neurological alterations. After 21 days， brain tissues were harvested for immunofluorescence staining， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and transmission electron microscopy to examine morphological changes in brain myelin and retina. Metabolomics analysis was performed， and differential metabolites were identified using volcano plots and heatmaps. The distribution of fold changes and bar charts were used to profile the key metabolites. These differential metabolites were then subjected to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis and regulatory network analysis. ResultsOn the 9th day after AC infection， Balb/c mice showed a decline in neurological behavioral scores （P<0.05）. By day 15， visual scores decreased （P<0.05）， and by day 21， significant weight loss （P＜0.001） and mortality were observed. Concurrently， transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining revealed significant myelin damage in the corpus callosum and a marked reduction in oligodendrocytes （P<0.001）. HE staining showed severe retinal ganglion cell damage. Metabolomic analysis revealed that glycerophospholipids were the most abundant differential metabolites， with steroids and sphingolipids being relatively less abundant. Cholesteryl ester CE （20：2） was significantly upregulated （P<0.001）， while phosphatidylmethanol （18：0_18：1） was significantly downregulated （P<0.01）. KEGG enrichment and regulatory network analyses demonstrated that the differential metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways like steroid biosynthesis， bile secretion， and cholesterol metabolism， and were involved in key metabolic pathways such as sphingolipid metabolism， neural signal regulation， and glycerophospholipid metabolism. ConclusionsAC infection affects the metabolic state of mice via multiple pathways， modifying the levels of metabolites crucial for myelination and myelin stability. Demyelination may be closely linked to the disruption of these key metabolic pathways， particularly the dysregulation of cholesterol and sphingolipid metabolism， potentially playing a central role in demyelination onset. Furthermore， alterations in phospholipid metabolism and abnormal nerve signaling regulation may exacerbate myelin damage.
