Objective:To analyze the disease burden and economic burden of stroke attributed to smoking and tobacco exposure in public places among residents of Hangzhou before and after the implementation of the regulations on smoking control in public places of Hangzhou City (2019) ("Regulations").Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. Data were obtained from the tobacco use survey and stroke mortality surveillance system in Hangzhou in 2018 and 2021. Population Attributable Fractions and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) attributable to smoking and tobacco exposure in public places were calculated following the methodology framework of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019). The economic burden of stroke disease attributable to smoking and tobacco exposure in public places, was calculated based on medical costs, direct non-medical costs and indirect cost data obtained from a self-designed questionnaire.Results:The smoking rate in Hangzhou decreased from 43.03% in 2018 to 34.73% in 2021 for males, whereas it marginally increased from 0.75% to 0.97% for females. The tobacco exposure rate in public places decreased from 53.74% to 35.73% for males and from 35.24% to 23.03% for females. The DALY rate for stroke attributable to smoking decreased from 92.13×10 -5 to 71.04×10 -5 for males, whereas it increased from 1.49×10 -5 to 1.83×10 -5 for females. Similarly, the DALY rate for stroke attributable to tobacco exposure in public places decreased from 70.52×10 -5 to 45.22×10 -5 for males and from 43.91×10 -5 to 29.64×10 -5 for females. The total economic burden of stroke attributable to smoking and tobacco exposure in public places in Hangzhou City in 2018 was 398.996 3 million yuan and 476.554 2 million yuan, respectively; both of them decreased to 349.448 6 million yuan and 339.157 0 million yuan in 2021, respectively. Conclusions:The implementation of the new version of the "Regulations" has achieved remarkable tobacco control effects in Hangzhou. The burden of disease and the economic burden of stroke attributable to smoking and exposure to tobacco in public places are significantly reduced.

Objective:To investigate the current status of insomnia symptoms and executive function (EF) impairments among adolescents from regions with different economic development levels, and to analyze their relationship with depressive symptoms, so as to provide clues for improved depressive symptoms screening practices.Methods:This population-based cross-sectional study employed a multistage, stratified cluster random sampling method. During November 2017 to January 2018 and December 2018 to January 2019, a total of 2 495 adolescents aged 11 to 18 years were selected from Shanghai, representing a highly developed economic region, and 2 704 adolescents aged 11 to 18 years were selected from Shangrao city, Jiangxi province, representing a less developed economic region. The depressive symptoms were assessed using the short version of the 21-item depression, anxiety, and stress scale, based on which participants were categorized into groups with or without depressive symptoms. Insomnia symptoms and EF impairments were measured using a self-designed insomnia scale and the behavior rating inventory of executive function, respectively. Participants were further classified into 4 subgroups: neither insomnia nor EF impairment, EF impairment only, insomnia only, and comorbid insomnia and EF impairment. Chi-square test was used to compare the differences in basic information of adolescents from different regions. Multivariate Logistic regression models were applied to examine the associations between insomnia, EF impairment, and their combination with depressive symptoms as well as the differences in gender and school-stage among each subgroup.Results:A total of 2 305 adolescents were recruited from Shanghai (1 192 boys and 1 113 girls, 1 266 junior high school students and 1 039 senior high school students) and 2 250 adolescents from Shangrao (1 126 boys and 1 124 girls, 1 146 junior high school students and 1 104 senior high school students). The numbers of adolescents with depressive symptoms, insomnia symptoms and EF impairment in Shanghai were 460 adolescents (20.0%), 907 adolescents (39.3%), and 411 adolescents (17.8%), respectively, all of which were fewer than those in Shangrao, which were 616 adolescents (27.4%), 1 251 adolescents (55.6%), and 524 adolescents (23.3%), respectively (all P<0.001). In Shanghai, the numbers of adolescents with EF impairment only, insomnia only, and comorbid insomnia and EF impairment were 219 adolescents (9.5%), 670 adolescents (29.1%), and 237 adolescents (10.3%), respectively. And in Shangrao, the corresponding numbers were 193 adolescents (8.6%), 865 adolescents (38.4%), and 386 adolescents (17.2%), respectively. Compared to adolescents in Shanghai with neither EF impairment nor insomnia, the risk of depressive symptoms was all higher in adolescents with EF impairment only, insomnia only, and comorbid EF impairment-insomnia ( OR=2.86, 6.48, 20.10; 95% CI 1.57-5.22, 5.09-8.26, 13.66-29.58; all P<0.01). Similar results were observed in adolescents in Shangrao ( OR=3.22, 4.82, 10.91; 95% CI 1.66-6.28, 3.09-7.51, 7.26-16.40; all P<0.01). The analysis of gender and educational stage differences showed that, compared to the group neither EF impairment nor insomnia, the risk of depressive symptoms all higher in the groups with EF impairment only, insomnia only (all P<0.05), and comorbid EF impairment-insomnia, and the risk in comorbid EF impairment-insomnia group was the highest (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with adolescents in regions with underdeveloped economies, those in economically developed regions had lower rates of insomnia, EF impairment, and depression. Both insomnia and EF impairment significantly increase the risk of depressive symptoms. Their coexistence confers the highest risk and therefore warrants particular attention for prevention and intervention efforts.

In epidemiological statistics, the incidence rate and mortality rate of malignant lung tumors rank among the top. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes an important part of lung cancer and has become a key focus of clinical research and treatment. Among the genomic characteristics of NSCLC, the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutation is one of the main tumor drivers, accounting for approximately 25% of all NSCLC cases. The existence of this mutation is closely related to the treatment response and prognosis of patients. Therefore, the treatment strategy for KRAS-mutated NSCLC is an important topic in the field of tumor research. In the current era, immunomodulatory therapy has rapidly gained popularity and developed rapidly in oncology due to its unique mechanism of action and remarkable clinical efficacy. The treatment strategies targeting the KRAS-mutated of NSCLC have gradually become a research hotspot. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has opened up a new therapeutic avenue for patients with such cancers, and clinical studies have shown significant effects in improving survival rates. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges in the application of immunotherapy, such as the complexity of the tumor microenvironment, individual differences among patients, and drug resistance mechanisms. This article reviews the progress of immunotherapy for KRAS-mutated NSCLC, focusing on the specific application of immunotherapy, the exploration of combination therapies, and the results of related clinical trials. At the same time, it discusses the possible future development directions of KRAS-mutated NSCLC treatment, providing a reference for clinical treatment practice.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a three-dimensional finite element model of a digital wire loop space maintainer for the mandible and primary tooth loss, in order to investigate the stress, deformation, and shear force experienced by patients with the loss of the second primary molar when wearing the wire loop space maintainer. METHODS: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed on the patients to create a digital model of the mandible with the absence of the second primary molar using Mimics 21.0 software. A digital model integrating the crown's retention and the wire loop structure of the full crown and ring wire loop space maintainer was constructed using pediatric space maintainer design software, utilizing three different materials: cobalt-chromium alloy, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and titanium alloy. In ANSYS Work Beach 2023 R2 software, vertical loads of 70 N, tilted 45° along the long axis of the tooth loads of 70 N, and a 10 N load on the surface of the wire loop were applied to the occlusal surfaces of models 46 and 84, simulating centric and lateral occlusions during chewing with the wire loop space maintainer in place. The stress states of the wire loop space maintainer and supporting teeth were analyzed. RESULTS: Under various loading conditions, the maximum principal stress of the ring wire loop space maintainer was significantly lower than that of the full crown. Stress contour maps indicated that the peak of the maximum principal stress occurred at the junction of the wire loop and crown structure, indicating that this area was more susceptible to fracture. The ring wire loop space maintainer made from PEEK material exhibited the lowest maximum shear stress on the internal organizational surfaces, with equivalent stresses of 23.18 MPa and 36.35 MPa for models 46 and 84, respectively. Stress contour maps demonstrated that the maximum stress on tooth 46 was located at its mesial, while the maximum stress on tooth 84 was situated near the root area on its distal, in contact with the wire loop space maintainer. CONCLUSION In cases of second primary molar loss, wearing the digital ring wire loop space maintainer can effectively distribute stress, and the ring wire loop space maintainer made from PEEK material reduces the stress experienced by supporting teeth to some extent, demonstrating its superiority in clinical application.

Perimenopause raises the risk and incidence of depression, whereas the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Disturbed glucose regulation has been widely documented in depressive disorders, which renders the brain susceptible to various stresses such as estrogen depletion. However, whether and how glucose dysfunction regulates depression-like behaviors and neuronal damage in perimenopausal transition remains unexplored. Here, a prominent depressive phenotype was found in perimenopausal mice induced by the ovarian toxin 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD). The VCD depression susceptible group (VCD^SS) and the VCD depression resilient group (VCD^RES) were determined using a ROC-based behavioral screening approach. We found that the hippocampus, a crucial region linked to depression, had hyperglycemia and mitochondrial abnormalities. Interestingly, oral administration of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin (EMPA) and intrahippocampal glucose infusion suggest a close relationship between hyperglycemia in the hippocampus and the susceptibility to depression. We verified that cytochrome c oxidase 7c (COX7C) downregulation is a potential cause of the high glucose-induced neuronal injury using proteomic screening and biochemical validations. High glucose causes COX7C to be ubiquitinated in a S-phase kinase associated protein 1 (SKP1)-dependent manner. According to these results, SKP1/COX7C represents a unique therapeutic target and a novel molecular route for treating perimenopausal depression.
