    Abstract Objectives: Numerous studies have shown that an enriched environment can promote ischemic stroke and improve cognitive function. In addition, white matter is closely related to cognitive function. The effects and mechanisms of the enriched environment on white matter recovery after stroke have not been elucidated. This study will analyse the effects of the enriched environment on white matter and cognitive function in the post-stroke brain from the perspective of astrocytes and their secretions.
    Methods: Stroke models were used for middle cerebral artery occlusion model. post-operative rats were divided into sham-operated, standard and enriched environment groups. The degree of cerebral infarction was assessed by TTC staining and the degree of white matter damage was assessed by Luxol-Fast Blue staining. The prognosis after stroke was assessed using the longa score and Morris water maze test. Western Blot and immunofluorescence were used to quantify and localize astrocytes and their associated secretory factors and myelin protein markers.
    Results: We found that ischemic stroke can cause severe demyelination. After EE treatment, there was a significant increase in cerebral remyelination and a significant improvement in neurological and cognitive functions. Astrocyte, BDNF, and VEGF expression were significantly higher than in rats in the standard circumstances of stroke model.
    Conclusion: These data suggest that the enriched environment contributes to brain white matter recovery and improvement of cognitive function after stroke. The mechanism is related to astrocytes and their secretions. EE can activate astrocytes to secrete BDNF and VEGF, which may be crucial to promote white matter recovery.

    Abstract Background: Microglia activation and oligodendrocyte maturation are critical for remyelination after cerebral ischemia. Studies have shown that enriched environment (EE) can effectively alleviate stroke-induced neurological deficits. However, little is known about the mechanism associated with glial cells underlying the neuroprotection of EE. Therefore, this study focuses on investigating the effect of EE on activated microglia polarization as well as oligodendrogenesis in the progress of remyelination following cerebral ischemia.
    Methods: The ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. Animals executed 4 weeks of environmental intervention after performing MCAO or sham surgery and were divided into sham, MCAO, and MCAO+EE groups. Cognitive function, myelin damage, microglia activation and polarization, inflammation, oligodendrogenesis, remyelination, and protein expression of the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway were determined.
    Results: The staining of NeuN indicated that the infarct size of MCAO rats was decreased under EE. EE intervention improved animal performance in the Morris water maze test and novel object recognition test, promoting the recovery of cognitive function after I/R injury. EE treatment alleviated myelin damage in MCAO rats, as evidenced by the lower fluorescence intensity ratio of SMI-32/MBP in MCAO+EE group. EE increased the fluorescence intensity ratio of NG2
    Conclusion: EE improved long‑term recovery of cognitive function after cerebral I/R injury, at least in part by promoting M2 microglia transformation through activation of the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway, inhibiting inflammation to provide a favorable microenvironment for oligodendrocyte maturation and remyelination. The effect of the EE on myelin and inflammation could account for the neuroprotection provided by EE.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the current status of oral health literacy among adult orthodontic patients and analyze its influencing factors.
    Methods: Totally 163 adult orthodontic patients were recruited by convenience sampling method from November 2021 to February 2022 at the Department of Oral and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Center of Craniofacial Orthodontics in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital. General information questionnaire, Chinese version of Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD-14), Chinese version of Self-Efficacy Scale for Self-care (SESS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were applied. SPSS 21.0 software package was used for data analysis.
    Results: The mean score of oral health literacy in adult orthodontic patients was (48.74±5.54), and the lowest score were obtained in concern (6.80±1.19) and support (6.40±1.59) dimensions. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that adult orthodontic patients' consultation self-efficacy, social support utilization, family or friends' orthodontic history and objective support were the influencing factors of oral health literacy.
    Conclusions: The oral health literacy in adult orthodontic patients is at a middle to high level, but concern and support literacy need to be improved. Strengthening consultation self-efficacy, objective support and utilization of social support can improve adult orthodontic patients' oral health literacy. Attention should be paid to patients who have no relatives or friends with history of orthodontic treatment.

    Abstract Objectives: To provide valuable insights for targeted cancer screening among high-risk patients, we analyzed the global and regional burden of neoplasms resulting from alcohol consumption between 1990 and 2019.
    Methods: The information used in this study was collected from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 dataset. Initially, the database was used to extract details of mortality rates, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and the number of individuals affected by alcohol-related neoplasms (ARNs). Subsequently, the data were compared by cancer type, sex, age, region, and sociodemographic index. Furthermore, the study involved the calculation and comparison of estimated annual percentage changes in age-standardized DALYs rates (ASDRs) and mortality rates.
    Results: The impact of alcohol on the burden of cancer varied by type of cancer, sex, age, and geographical location. Notably, males exhibited significantly higher ASDRs compared with females. Specifically, in 2019, alcohol emerged as the primary contributor to the number of DALYs associated with esophageal cancer, followed by liver cancer and colorectal cancer in men. Patients aged 50+ years exhibited a heightened rate of DALYs associated with ARNs. From 1990 to 2019, ASDRs among individuals with ARNs did not exhibit a decline in low-middle and low sociodemographic index regions.
    Conclusions: Alcohol consumption represents a significant risk factor for the burden of cancer, particularly within the realm of digestive system malignancies. Consequently, targeted cancer screening efforts should be directed toward the population that engages in alcohol drinking, with a particular focus on men aged 50 years and older, residing in economically disadvantaged areas.

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex, severe disorder related to brain development. It impairs patient language communication and social behaviors. In recent years, ASD researches have focused on a single-modal neuroimaging data, neglecting the complementarity between multi-modal data. This omission may lead to poor classification. Therefore, it is important to study multi-modal data of ASD for revealing its pathogenesis. Furthermore, recurrent neural network (RNN) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) are effective for sequence data processing. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for a Multi-Kernel Learning Fusion algorithm based on RNN and GRU (MKLF-RAG). The framework utilizes RNN and GRU to provide feature selection for data of different modalities. Then these features are fused by MKLF algorithm to detect the pathological mechanisms of ASD and extract the most relevant the Regions of Interest (ROIs) for the disease. The MKLF-RAG proposed in this paper has been tested in a variety of experiments with the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) database. Experimental findings indicate that our framework notably enhances the classification accuracy for ASD. Compared with other methods, MKLF-RAG demonstrates superior efficacy across multiple evaluation metrics and could provide valuable insights into the early diagnosis of ASD.

    Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined as a neurodevelopmental condition distinguished by unconventional neural activities. Early intervention is key to managing the progress of ASD, and current research primarily focuses on the use of structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) or resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) for diagnosis. Moreover, the use of autoencoders for disease classification has not been sufficiently explored. In this study, we introduce a new framework based on autoencoder, the Deep Canonical Correlation Fusion algorithm based on Denoising Autoencoder (DCCF-DAE), which proves to be effective in handling high-dimensional data. This framework involves efficient feature extraction from different types of data with an advanced autoencoder, followed by the fusion of these features through the DCCF model. Then we utilize the fused features for disease classification. DCCF integrates functional and structural data to help accurately diagnose ASD and identify critical Regions of Interest (ROIs) in disease mechanisms. We compare the proposed framework with other methods by the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) database and the results demonstrate its outstanding performance in ASD diagnosis. The superiority of DCCF-DAE highlights its potential as a crucial tool for early ASD diagnosis and monitoring.

    Abstract Stroke represents a significant threat to global human health, characterized by high rates of morbidity, disability, and mortality. Predominantly, strokes are ischemic in nature. Ischemic stroke (IS) is influenced by various cell death pathways, notably autophagy and ferroptosis. Recent studies have increasingly highlighted the interplay between autophagy and ferroptosis, a process likely driven by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Post-IS, either the inhibition of autophagy or its excessive activation can escalate ROS levels. Concurrently, the interaction between ROS and lipids during ferroptosis further augments ROS accumulation. Elevated ROS levels can provoke endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced autophagy and, in conjunction with free iron (Fe

    Abstract Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment. However, their use has been restricted in patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases due to concerns about increased risk of immune-related adverse events (irAEs).
    Case presentation: We present a case of a patient with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma and a history of complement-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia in remission. After receiving a single dose of pembrolizumab, the patient experienced life-threatening recurrent hemolytic anemia, de novo thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, myocarditis, and acute kidney injury. Laboratory tests confirmed the diagnosis of Evan's syndrome, with positive PAIgG and direct antiglobulin test. Treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone at a dose of 2 mg/kg resulted in a favorable response, with resolution of symptoms and rapid recovery of kidney function. The probable cause of pre-renal hypoperfusion (evidenced by a BUN-to-creatinine ratio of 48.1) leading to acute tubular injury was attributed to pembrolizumab-induced diarrhea.
    Conclusions: This case illustrates a life-threatening recurrence of complement-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia induced by ICIs. Clinicians should carefully consider the expected efficacy and potential toxicity before initiating ICIs therapy in patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases. Additionally, the occurrence of acute kidney injury during ICIs therapy adds complexity and requires careful differential diagnosis.
