OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of evodiamine on the proliferation， migration and invasion abilities of trophoblastic cells induced by high glucose and its potential mechanism based on advanced glycation end products （AGE）/receptor for advanced glycation end products （RAGE） signaling pathway. METHODS Human trophoblastic cells HTR-8/SVneo were divided into control group， high glucose group， evodiamine low-dose group （2 μmol/L）， evodiamine high-dose group （4 μmol/L）， pc-NC group （transfected with pc-NC plasmid+4 μmol/L evodiamine）， and pc-RAGE group （transfected with pc-RAGE plasmid+ 4 μmol/L evodiamine）. Cells in all groups except for the control group were cultured in a high sugar （25 mmol/L glucose） environment， and cells in all groups except for the control group and the model group were transfected with the corresponding plasmids and/or received the corresponding drug interventions. The survival rate， apoptotic rate， scratch healing rate， and invasion number， as well as the protein and mRNA expressions of AGE， RAGE， nuclear factor- κB p65 （NF- κB p65）， matrix metalloproteinase-2 （MMP-2）， and MMP-9 were examined in each group. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the cell survival rate， scratch healing rate， invasions number， and the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the high glucose group significantly decreased （P＜0.05）， while the apoptotic rate， the mRNA and protein expressions of AGE and RAGE， the mRNA expression of NF-κB p65， and the phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65 protein significantly increased （P＜0.05）； compared with the high glucose group， the above indexes of cells in evodiamine low-dose and high-dose groups were significantly improved， and the effect of the high-dose group was significantly better than that of the low-dose group （P＜0.05）； overexpression of RAGE attenuated the ameliorative effect of evodiamine onthe above indexes in high glucose-induced trophoblast cells （except for AGE mRNA and protein） （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Evodiamine can promote the proliferation， migration and invasion of high glucose-induced trophoblast cells and ameliorate their functional impairment， and the above effects are associated with the inhibition of the AGE/RAGE signaling pathway.

Objective This study explored the potentially modifiable factors for depression and major depressive disorder (MDD) from the MR-Base database and further evaluated the associations between drug targets with MDD.Methods We analyzed two-sample of Mendelian randomization (2SMR) using genetic variant depression (n = 113,154) and MDD (n = 208,811) from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). Separate calculations were performed with modifiable risk factors from MR-Base for 1,001 genomes. The MR analysis was performed by screening drug targets with MDD in the DrugBank database to explore the therapeutic targets for MDD. Inverse variance weighted (IVW), fixed-effect inverse variance weighted (FE-IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode were used for complementary calculation.Results The potential causal relationship between modifiable risk factors and depression contained 459 results for depression and 424 for MDD. Also, the associations between drug targets and MDD showed that SLC6A4, GRIN2A, GRIN2C, SCN10A, and IL1B expression are associated with an increased risk of depression. In contrast, ADRB1, CHRNA3, HTR3A, GSTP1, and GABRG2 genes are candidate protective factors against depression.Conclusion This study identified the risk factors causally associated with depression and MDD, and estimated 10 drug targets with significant impact on MDD, providing essential information for formulating strategies to prevent and treat depression.

Objective: To compare the effects of aerobic exercise, resistance training, and a combination of aerobic exercise and resistance training (combined exercise) with dietary restrictions on inflammatory factors and gut microbiota in obese children, so as to provide the reference for improving the health level of obese children. Methods: From August to September 2022, a total of 70 obese children aged 10-12 from the Affiliated Experimental Primary School of Minjiang Normal University were recruited through online notifications and WeChat distribution through parent groups. Participants were divided into dietary restriction (DR, n=18) group, aerobic exercise combined with dietary restriction (AE+DR, n=18) group, resistance training combined with dietary restriction (RT+DR, n=17) group and combined exercise combined with dietary restriction (ART+DR, n=17) group,through random number table method. From September to November 2022, each group received different interventions.The daily dietary intake of calories in the DR group was determined according to resting energy consumption. The AE+DR group intervention mainly included skipping rope, aerobics exercises, jogging and sports games, and were maintained for each session lasting 50 minutes. For RT+DR group, the exercise intensity of resistance training was (65%-85%) maximum strength, with a total of 10 actions. The ART+DR group included resistance training (20 minutes), aerobic exercise (20 minutes), preparation and relaxation phases for 5 minutes each. The DR and exercise intervention was administered for 8 weeks (4 times a week for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). Before and after different intervention methods, serum inflammatory factors were detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and intestinal flora was calculated by plate colony counting method. Results: Compared to those before intervention, the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP, and the contents of enterococcus and escherichia coli in the faeces significantly decreased, while the contents of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium in the faeces significantly increased after intervention (t=7.19，7.15，4.57，5.42，5.15，-3.51，-7.30；5.14，3.64，3.02，3.27，5.00，-3.09，-3.75；7.10，10.86，7.74，10.92，9.26，-6.63，-6.33，P<0.05) in AE+DR, RT+DR and ART+DR groups. The levels of serum TNF-α and CRP and enterococcus decreased significantly, and the contents of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium in the faeces increased significantly after intervention (t=2.74, 2.22, 2.14, -2.21, -2.81, P<0.05) in the DR Group. After 8 weeks of intervention with different methods, the change differences of enterococcus, escherichia coli, lactobacillus, bifidobacterium in the faeces, and serum TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP levels were statistically significantin the four groups of obese children (H=22.22, 23.75, 13.44, 28.33, 18.02, 33.64, 25.14, P<0.01). In addition, the decreases of enterococcus in the faeces and serum TNF-α, IL-6, CRP levels, and the increases of lactobacillus in the faeces were significantly higher than those in the other three groups. Conclusions Dietary restriction alone or combined with different exercises bring beneficial changes in the inflammatory factors and gut microbiota indicators in obese children. Combined exercise,as well as aerobic exercise combined with dietary restrictions are more reasonable and effective in obese children.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance(MR)high-resolution imaging of vascular wall on vertebrobasilar artery tortuosity prolongation complicated by multiple cerebral infarction in posterior circulation.Methods:Regression analysis was used in this research.A total of 138 patients with vertebrobasilar artery tortuosity prolongation who admitted to Hengshui City People′s Hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected.Among of them,54 patients who complicated with multiple cerebral infarction in posterior circulation were divided into the occurrence group,and 84 patients without multiple cerebral infarction in posterior circulation were divided into the non-occurrence group.All patients underwent high-resolution MR imaging of vascular wall,and the basilar artery(BA),hemodynamic indicators such as systolic peak(Vs),average peak(Vd),diastolic peak flow velocity(Vm),pulsatile index(PI),blood flow resistance index(RI),as well as intracranial responsibility plaque characteristics and vertebral basilar artery grading between two groups were compared.Results:The Vs,Vd,Vm,PI and RI indicators of patients in the non-occurrence group were significantly higher than those in the occurrence group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=11.742,4.323,7.367,4.824,2.351,P<0.05),respectively.The degree(60.31±4.24)%of intracranial plaque stenosis in the non-occurrence group was significantly lower than(73.67±5.96)%in the occurrence group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=15.376,P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in plaque area,plaque load,arterial remodeling index and eccentricity index between the two groups(P>0.05).The height level of vertebral basilar artery bifurcation and the degree of vertebral basilar artery deviation in the non-occurrence group were significantly lower than those in the occurrence group,with statistically significant differences(x2=3.907,6.419,P<0.05).Conclusion:MR high-resolution imaging of vascular wall can clearly display the blood flow velocity and intracranial plaque situation in patients with vertebrobasilar artery tortuosity prolongation,and conduct the grade for the vertebrobasilar artery,which has significant application value in predicting the occurrence of vertebrobasilar artery tortuosity prolongation complicated by multiple cerebral infarction in posterior circulation.

Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) is a rare, high-grade variant of chondrosarcoma with a poor prognosis, making its diagnosis and treatment particularly challenging. Comprehensive imaging plays a crucial role in the initial diagnosis, while image-guided biopsy remains an essential tool for confirming the disease. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment modality, and selecting an appropriate surgical approach based on the patient's condition is critical. Achieving wide or radical surgical margins is vital for reducing the risk of local recurrence and distant metastasis. Unfortunately, DDCS demonstrates limited sensitivity to both radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and current advancements in these therapeutic approaches remain in the exploratory phase. In recent years, efforts by both domestic and international researchers to incorporate novel therapies such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy have yielded promising, results. Given the rarity of DDCS, existing clinical studies are largely limited to case reports or small retrospective studies, highlighting the need for larger, more robust studies to strengthen the evidence base. This review aims to summarize the latest progress in the diagnosis and treatment of DDCS, offering insights to guide clinical practice and inform future research directions.
