Objective To explore the relationship between alexithymia and sense of coherence in breast cancer patients based on a network analysis model,to accurately identify core and bridge nodes in the network,and to provide key targets for precise interventions from a network perspective.Meth-ods A total of 324 breast cancer patients were selected as survey subjects by the convenience sam-pling method.The patients were investigated by using the General Information Questionnaire,the To-ronto Alexithymia Scale and the Sense of Coherence-13.Network model construction and related index calculation based on R language were performed.Results Difficulty in describing feelings(strength=0.80)had the highest strength node in the network,followed by manageability(strength=0.59)and comprehensibility(strength=0.54).The node with the highest strength of bridges in the network was meaningfulness(bridge strength=0.37),followed by externally oriented thinking(bridge strength=0.33).Conclusion Network analysis not only reveals the relationships among variables,but also pinpoints key nodes in the network.In the network of alexithymia and sense of coherence in breast cancer patients,descriptive affective disorder is the core node,while sense of meaning and ex-troverted thinking are the bridge nodes.Healthcare professionals can develop precise interventions for the core and bridge nodes to improve the mental health of breast cancer patients.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that atorvastatin can up-regulate the expression of heme oxygenase-1 and enhance the anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative damage ability of cells.However,whether atorvastatin can regulate macrophage polarization,inhibit inflammation and reduce cholesterol accumulation by inducing heme oxygenase-1 expression remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on polarization,inflammation and cholesterol content of oxidized low-density lipoprotein stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages by inducing heme oxygenase-1 expression and its related mechanism. METHODS:Firstly,RAW264.7 cells were randomly divided into six groups and incubated with different concentrations of atorvastatin for 24 hours.The expression of heme oxygenase-1 protein and cell activity were detected to explore the optimal dose of atorvastatin for subsequent studies.RAW264.7 cells were randomly divided into control group,atorvastatin group and heme oxygenase-1 inhibition group.Cells were preincubated with pure medium,atorvastatin 20 μmol/L and atorvastatin 20 μmol/L + zinc protoporphyrin IX 10 μmol/L for 24 hours,and then oxidized low-density lipoprotein 50 mg/L was added for 48 hours.The polarization of macrophages was detected by flow cytometry.The secretion of inflammatory factors such as transforming growth factor β,interleukin 10,interleukin 1β,and tumor necrosis factor α was detected by ELISA.The expression levels of heme oxygenase-1,LC3II,LC3I,P62,PPARγ and ABCA1 were detected by western blot assay.The intracellular cholesterol content was measured with the oxidose method and the accumulation degree of intracellular lipid droplets was evaluated by oil red O staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Atorvastatin could induce the expression of heme oxygenase-1 protein in macrophages in a dose-dependent manner.(2)Oxidized low-density lipoprotein could induce macrophages to polarize towards M1,secrete proinflammatory factors,and increase the accumulation of intracellular cholesterol.(3)Compared with the control group,the heme oxygenase-1 protein expression of macrophages was increased after atorvastatin intervention,and the cells turned to M2-type polarization and mainly secreted anti-inflammatory factors such as transforming growth factor-β and interleukin-10.PPARγ,ABCA1,LC3II/I and other signal molecules reflecting cholesterol efflux and autophagy increased,and the contents of intracellular cholesterol and lipid droplets decreased significantly(P<0.05).(4)The heme oxygenase-1 inhibition group treated with zinc protoporphyrin IX significantly reversed the above changes in the atorvastatin group.(5)The results have shown that atorvastatin may promote the polarization of macrophages stimulated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein to M2 type and inhibit inflammation by up-regulating the expression of heme oxygenase-1 and by up-regulating PPARγ/ABCA1 signaling pathway and enhancing autophagy.Atorvastatin can increase the outflow of intracellular cholesterol and reduce the accumulation of intracellular lipids.

Objective:To describe the prevalence of food allergy among children aged 0-5 years in China and to explore related influencing factors.Methods:Multistage stratified random sampling method was used to collect data from 275 surveillance sites of the China National Nutrition and Health Survey of Chinese children and lactating mothers programs in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) of China in 2016-2017. A total of 70 107 participants aged 0-5 years were included in this study. The study collected information of participants' demographic characteristics and food allergies by face-to-face questionnaire. The prevalence of food allergy was analyzed, using the complex data weighting method. The logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors related to food allergy.Results:The overall prevalence of self-reported food allergy among children aged 0-5 years was 4.81%. Prevalence rates in infants aged 0-5 months, and 6-23 months and preschool children aged 2-5 years were 0.81%, 4.68% and 5.26%, respectively. The results of logistic analysis showed that there was a significantly positive correlation between factors including children from 6 months to 5 years old, urban area, southwest area, first-born, mothers with college education or above, and the prevalence of food allergy in children. Shrimp, poultry eggs, crab shellfish, fruit, milk and fish appeared the common allergic foods in children aged 0-5 years, with prevalence rates of self-reported food allergy as 1.55%, 1.25%, 0.99%, 0.97%, 0.87% and 0.86%, respectively. The proportion of single food allergy in children with allergies was 69.85%.Conclusions:Among children aged 0-5 years, the prevalence of self-reported food allergy increases with age, in China. Foods that is prone to allergies include fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, poultry eggs, milk and fruits, etc. Most allergies were only caused by single food in children, under observation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of over-the-top reconstruction combined with the modified Lemaire technique in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries with pivot-shift positive.Methods:From March 2020 to October 2021, a total of 46 patients with ACL injury and pivot-shift test grade II or above were admitted to Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University. There were 28 males and 18 females, aged 28.0±10.5 years (range, 15-45 years). All cases were unilateral, including 17 cases of left knee and 29 cases of right knee. The pivot-shift test showed that 30 cases were grade II and 16 cases were grade III, and the cause of injury was sports injury. The semitendinosus muscle and gracilis muscle were harvested, and the ACL was reconstructed with the over-the-top combined modified Lemaire technique. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score and KT-2000 side-to-side difference before and after operation were compared.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 26.6±2.3 months (range, 24-28 months). The Lysholm scores of the patients at 3 months and 24 months after operation were 73.6±4.3 and 91.6±2.8, which were higher than those before operation (58.5±4.6), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=18.351, P<0.001). The IKDC scores of patients at 3 months and 24 months after operation were 59.0±2.0 and 91.8±3.2, respectively, which were higher than those before operation 50.3±2.8, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=17.290, P<0.001). The side-to-side difference of KT-2000 was 1.7±0.8 mm and 1.5±0.4 mm at 3 and 24 months after operation, respectively, which was lower than that before operation (5.9±1.1 mm), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=14.192, P<0.001). At 24 months after operation, 3 patients had pivot shift test grade I and 4 patients had Lachman test grade I, but they complained of good knee stability and did not receive further treatment. At the last follow-up, there were no complications such as incision and intra-articular infection, deep vein thrombosis, knee stiffness, quadriceps musculus ossificans myositis, and reconstruction ligament rupture. All patients returned to sports with an average time of 15.7±2.6 months (range, 12-24 months). Conclusion:Over-the-top reconstruction combined with the modified Lemaire technique for the treatment of ACL injury with positive pivot shift test effectively improves knee function and promotes the patient's return to sports, with a low incidence of surgical complications.

Among them, 5 patients had fracture in the left shoulder and 9 in the right shoulder. The fracture was classified as the avulsion type according to Mutch classification. All the patients were treated with shoulder arthroscopic balance point compaction with cross suture-bridge technique. The anteroposterior X-ray of the shoulder joint was taken at 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery to evaluate fracture reduction and fixation. The operative time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. Fracture healing was evaluated by shoulder MRI at 6 months after surgery. The visual analog score (VAS), Constant shoulder joint score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and shoulder range of motion (active abduction angle, active lateral external rotation angle, and active lateral internal rotation) preoperatively, at 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were compared. The postoperative complications were observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-15 months [(12.5±0.8)months]. The operative time and intraoperative blood loss were (67.0±10.5)minutes and (20.0±3.8)ml. The anteroposterior X-ray of the shoulder joint showed good reduction and fixation at 1 week, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. MRI T1 image at 6 months after surgery showed locally evenly distributed high signal, suggesting that the fracture was healed well. The values of VAS were (3.2±0.4)points, (2.5±0.5)points, and (0.7±0.3)points at 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, which were lower than (7.2±0.6)points preoperatively; the values of Constant joint shoulder score were (53.2±5.3)points, (81.1±4.4)points, and (92.8±5.3)points, which were higher than (42.3±7.6)points preoperatively; the values of ASES score were (55.6±3.6)points, (77.1±3.2)points, and (90.8±3.5)points, which were higher than (45.8±4.2)points preoperatively; the active abduction angles were (60.5±2.5)°, (107.8±6.6)°, and (168.5±3.5)°, which were higher than (18.3±3.3)°preoperatively; the active lateral external rotation angles were (25.8±2.5)°, (30.8±2.2)°, and (63.8±2.8)°, which were higher than (15.6±3.2)°preoperatively ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The level of active internal rotation was L 5, L 1, and T 10, which was better than S 3 before surgery. The VAS, Constant shoulder joint score, ASES score, active abduction and active external rotation were significantly improved at the last follow-up compared with those at 3, 6 months after surgery (all P<0.05), with markedly improved level of active internal rotation. No major complications such as infection, instability of the shoulder joint or acromial impingement were found after surgery. Conclusion:Shoulder arthroscopic balance point compaction with cross suture-bridge technique for the treatment of avulsion fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus has advantages of decreased intraoperative blood loss, good reduction and healing, shoulder pain relief, early restoration of shoulder function and mobility, and few complications.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of vitamin D3 on alcoholic liver injury in mice. Methods: Forty mice were randomly divided into 4 groups : normal Control (Control) group , vitamin D3 (VitD3 ) group , alcohol model (EtOH) group and alcohol + vitamin D3 (EtOH + VitD3 ) group. The mice were fed with the DeCarlialcohol liquid diet to establish alcoholic liver injury model. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and liver index were detected. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver. The relative expression levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF⁃α ) , transforming growth factor β (TGF⁃β) , interleukin⁃6 (IL⁃6) and interleukin⁃1β (IL⁃1β) mRNA were detected by quantitative real⁃time PCR (qRT⁃PCR) . The expressions of nuclear factor⁃kappa B (NF⁃κB) p65 and NF⁃κB p50 in liver were detected by Western blot. Results: The serum ALT , AST vitality , liver index and hepatic TNF⁃α , TGF⁃ β , IL⁃6 and IL⁃1β mRNA in EtOH group were significantly higher than those in Control group. EtOH group disorganized hepatocyte and hepatic lobules boundary was not clear, and the hepatocytes showed apparent inflammatory cells infiltration of liver cells and fat cavitation. NF⁃κB p65 and NF⁃κB p50 protein expression increased significantly. Compared with EtOH group ,the serum ALT , AST vitality , liver index and hepatic TNF⁃α , TGF⁃ β , IL⁃6 and IL⁃1β mRNA in EtOH + VitD3 group decreased significantly. The pathological staining results showed that inflammatory cells infiltration and decrease in the number of fat vacuoles , and the liver cells returned to normal liver cell structure. At the same time the NF⁃κB p65 and NF⁃κB p50 protein expression level decreased significantly. Conclusion Vitamin D3 has a certain protective effect on alcohol⁃induced liver injury in mice , and its main mechanisms are related to the inhibition of NF⁃κB pathway and the reduction of inflammatory response.
