BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior has become a major public health concern and can have significant implications for the physical and mental health of adolescents. Peer victimization is a risk factor for adolesents to have NSSI behavior, so exploring the relationship and underlying mechanism between peer victimization and NSSI functions will provide a promising strategy for the prevention and intervention of NSSI behavior. ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between peer victimization and NSSI functions in adolescents with unipolar and bipolar depression, so as to provide references for the intervention of NSSI behavior in adolescent patients with unipolar and bipolar depression. MethodsUsing multi-stage stratified sampling, 940 adolescents with unipolar and bipolar depression who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) criteria for bipolar depressive episodes or depressive disorders were selected from 14 psychiatric hospitals in China. All participations were assessed using Chinese version of the Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation (C-FASM), Multidimensional Peer-Victimization Scale (MPVS), UCLA Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 item (PHQ-9). Pearson correlation coefficient was to assess the correlation among above scales, and the model fit and path coefficients for mediation were analyzed with model 4 in Process 4.0 for SPSS. ResultsA total of 698 (74.26%) adolescents with unipolar and bipolar depression completed the questionnaire survey. NSSI behavior was detected in 374 patients (53.58%). Among adolescents with unipolar and bipolar depression and NSSI behavior, MPVS total score was positively correlated with the scores of NSSI emotion regulation function, attention-seeking function and social avoidance function in C-FASM (r=0.104, 0.130, 0.266, P<0.05 or 0.01), UCLA-LS score also yielded a positive correlation with the scores of NSSI emotion regulation function, attention-seeking function and social avoidance function in C-FASM (r=0.321, 0.112, 0.246, P<0.05 or 0.01), and UCLA-LS score was positively correlated with MPVS total score (r=0.241, P<0.01). Loneliness demonstrated a complete mediating role in the relationship between peer victimization and emotion regulation function, with an indirect effect value of 0.033 (95% CI: 0.019~0.050) and an effect size of 73.33%. A partial mediating effect of loneliness was also observed for the relationship between peer victimization and social avoidance function, with an indirect effect value of 0.016 (95% CI: 0.007~0.025) and an effect size of 17.98%. ConclusionLoneliness may act as a mediator in the relationship between the peer victimization and the NISS emotion regulation and social avoidance functions in adolescents with unipolar and bipolar depression and NSSI behaviors.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with papillary thyroid cancer(PTC)by age grouping.Methods:The patients were divided into three groups according to age at diagnosis: old(≥60 years, 90 cases), middle(40-59 years, 359 cases)and young patients(<40 years, 203 cases). The clinical data of 652 patients with PTC who were admitted to the Department of Thyroid Surgery of Beijing Hospital from December 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into elderly group(≥60 years old, 90 cases), middle-aged group(40-59 years old, 359 cases)and young group(<40 years old, 203 cases). The clinical characteristics, ultrasound characteristics and invasion-related factors of patients in different groups were analyzed by statistical methods.Results:Compared with the young and middle-aged group, the elderly patients with PTC had a higher proportion of microcarcinoma(75.6%, 75.2%, 61.4%, χ2=13.054, P=0.001), less cervical lymph node metastasis(24.4%, 34.3%, 58.1%, χ2=41.650, P<0.001), and lower proportion of metastatic lymph nodes(0.08, 0.14, 0.24, χ2=40.618, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in tumor location and extra glandular invasion among the three age groups(35.56%, 36.2%, 38.4%, χ2=0.959, P=0.545). Conclusions:Compared with the young and middle-aged groups, PTC showed low invasiveness in the elderly population.In addition to surgical treatment, for elderly patients with low-risk clinical characteristics, it is worth performing a further study on whether careful observation or palliative treatment can be selected after comprehensive evaluation.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical manifestations, pathological features, and treatment of oral and maxillofacial pyogenic granulomas induced by camrelizumab.
Methods:
A case of pyogenic granuloma of the gums and lips caused by camrelizumab was reported along with a literature review.
Results:
After 4 months of treatment with camrelizumab for liver cancer, the patient developed systemic reactive capillary hyperplasia (RCH), followed by multiple masses on the lower lip and gingiva. After periodontal therapy, the masses on the lower lip and the gingiva were removed, and camrelizumab administration was stopped. The pathological result was gingival pyogenic granuloma/granulomatous hemangioma. No new masses were found in the oral cavity during postoperative follow-up. A review of the literature showed that RCH is the most common adverse drug reaction to camrelizumab but it occurs infrequently in the oral cavity. At present, the etiology of RCH has not been clarified, but the research has shown that camrelizumab may trigger tissue proliferation into hemangiomas by activating vascular endothelial cells, and the combined use of camrelizumab is safer than single use. RCH is self-limiting and most cases resolve spontaneously after discontinuation of the drug. If the mass causes dysfunction, surgical excision is feasible.
Conclusion
Camrelizumab can cause oral and maxillofacial reactive capillary hyperplasia complicated by pyogenic granuloma.
