Objective To compare the effect of the bipolar electric coagulation and unipolar electric coagulation on cranioplasty of scalp separation. Methods The clinical data of 67 patients who underwent unilateral frontotemporal cranioplasty from 2014 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to coagulation method during operation, these patients were divided into two groups, unipolar electric coagulation group (32 cases) and bipolar electric coagulation group (35 cases). The operation time, postoperative intracranial hemorrhage, infection, epilepsy and subcutaneous effusion were compared between two groups. Results The operation time of two groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05). The incidence of intracranial hemorrhage, infection and epilepsy of two groups had no significant differences (P > 0.05). But the incidence of subcutaneous effusion in unipolar electric coagulation group was significantly higher than that in bipolar electric coagulation group: 28.1%(9/32) vs. 5.7%(2/35), P<0.05. Conclusions The use of unipolar electric coagulation during the scalp separation in cranioplasty can reduce operation time in a certain extent, but significantly increase the incidence of postoperative subcutaneous effusion.

There were 346 males and 395 females, aged 55(range, 17?86)years. Observation indicators: (1) neoadjuvant treatment; (2) surgical and postoperative situations; (3) follow-up; (4) stratified analysis. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview. Patients were followed up once every 3?6 months during neoadjuvant therapy and once every 6?12 months after radical surgery to detect tumor recurrence and survival of patient up to April 2022. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and calculate survival rates. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Propensity score matching was done by the 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method, and the matching tolerance was 0.02. Results:(1) Neoadjuvant therapy. Of the 741 patients, 34 cases received neoadjuvant therapy for 8(range, 3?44)months. Cases assessed as partial response, stable disease and progressive disease before the radical surgery of the 34 cases were 21, 9, 4, respectively. The tumor diameter of the 34 patients before the neoadjuvant therapy and before the radical surgery were 8.0(range, 3.0?26.0)cm and 5.3(range, 3.0?18.0)cm, with the regression rate as 31.9%(range, ?166.7% to 58.3%). (2) Surgical and postoperative situations. Of the 741 patients, 34 cases underwent radical surgery after receiving neoadjuvant therapy, and 707 cases underwent radical surgery directly. All the 741 patients underwent radical surgery successfully, in which 633, 102 and 6 cases received open surgery, laparoscopic surgery and endoscopic treatment, respectively. Of the 633 cases receiving open surgery and the 102 cases receiving laparoscopic surgery, cases with surgical resection range as pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was 238, and cases with surgical resection range as duodenal limited resection, including duodenal wedge resection, distal gastrectomy, segmental duodenal resection, local resection of duodenal tumor or segmental duodenum combined with subtotal gastrectomy, was 497, 226, 55, 204, 12. Of the 741 patients, 131 cases had post-operative complications including 113 cases with grade Ⅰ?Ⅱ complications and 18 cases with ≥ grade Ⅲ complications of the Clavien-Dindo classification. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 741 patients was 13(range, 4?120)days. Of the 707 patients receiving direct radical surgery, 371 cases were evaluated as extremely low risk, low risk, medium risk of the modified National Institutes of Health (NIH) risk classification after surgery, and 336 cases were evaluated as high risk in which 205 cases receive postoperative adjuvant imatinib therapy with the treatment time as 24(range, 6?110)months. (3) Follow-up. All the 741 patients were followed up for 58(range, 7?150)months. During the follow-up, 110 patients had tumor recurrence and metastasis. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates and 1-, 3-, 5-year disease-free survival rates of the 741 patients were 100.0%, 98.6%, 94.5% and 98.4%, 90.9%, 84.9%, respectively. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates and 1-, 3-, 5-year disease-free survival rates of the 707 patients receiving direct radical surgery were 100.0%, 98.5%, 94.3% and 98.4%, 91.1%, 85.4%, respectively. (4) Stratified analysis. ① Analysis of prognostic factors in patients undergoing radical surgery directly. Results of univariate analysis showed that primary tumor location, tumor diameter, mitotic count, modified NIH risk classification and tumor gene information were related factors affecting the overall survival of 707 patients with primary duodenal GIST who underwent direct radical surgery ( hazard ratio=0.43, 0.18, 0.22, 0.06, 0.29, 95% confidence intervals as 0.20?0.93, 0.09?0.35, 0.10?0.50, 0.03?0.12, 0.09?0.95, P<0.05). The primary tumor location, tumor diameter, mitotic count, modified NIH risk classification were related factors affecting the disease-free survival of 707 patients with primary duodenal GIST who underwent direct radical surgery ( hazard ratio=0.65, 0.25, 0.25, 0.10, 95% confidence intervals as 0.41?1.03, 0.17?0.37, 0.15?0.42, 0.07?0.15, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that primary tumor located at the horizontal segment of duodenum, mitotic count >5/50 high power field, tumor gene KIT exon 9 mutation were independent risk factors affecting the overall survival of 365 patients with primary duodenal GIST after removing 342 patients without tumor gene information who underwent direct radical surgery ( hazard ratio=2.85, 2.73, 3.13, 95% confidence intervals as 1.12?7.20, 1.07?6.94, 1.23?7.93, P<0.05). Tumor diameter >5 cm and mitotic count >5/50 high power field were independent risk factors affecting the disease-free survival of 707 patients with primary duodenal GIST who underwent direct radical surgery ( hazard ratio=3.19, 2.98, 95% confidence intervals as 2.05?4.97, 1.99?4.45, P<0.05). ② Effect of postoperative adjuvant therapy on prognosis of high-risk patients of modified NIH risk classification. Of the 336 patients evaluated as high risk of the modified NIH risk classification, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 94.6% and 77.3% in the 205 cases with postoperative adjuvant therapy, versus 83.2% and 64.4% in the 131 cases without postoperative adjuvant therapy, showing significant differences between them ( χ2=8.39, 4.44, P<0.05). Of the 205 patients evaluated as high risk of the modified NIH risk classification who received postoperative adjuvant therapy, there were 106 cases receiving postoperative adjuvant therapy <36 months, with the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 87.1% and 58.7%, and there were 99 cases receiving post-operative adjuvant therapy ≥36 months, with the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 100.0% and 91.5%. There were significant differences in the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate between the 106 patients and the 99 patients ( χ2=13.92, 29.61, P<0.05). ③ Comparison of clinical efficacy of patients with different surgical methods. Before propensity score matching, cases with primary tumor located at bulb, descending, horizontal, ascending segment of duodenum, cases with tumor diameter ≤5 cm and >5 cm were 95, 307, 147, 34, 331, 252, in the 583 patients receiving open surgery with complete clinical data, versus 15, 46, 17, 5, 67, 16 in the 83 patients receiving laparoscopic surgery with complete clinical data, showing no significant difference in the primary tumor location ( χ2=0.94, P>0.05), and a significant difference in the tumor diameter ( χ2=17.33, P<0.05) between them. After propensity score matching, the above indicator were 16, 39, 20, 8, 67, 16 in the 83 patients receiving open surgery, versus 15, 46, 17, 5, 67, 16 in the 83 patients receiving laparoscopic surgery, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=1.54, 0.00, P>0.05). Cases with postoperative complications, cases with grade Ⅰ?Ⅱ complica-tions and ≥grade Ⅲ complications of the Clavien-Dindo classification, duration of postoperative hospital stay, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 17, 12, 5, 11(range, 5?120)days, 92.0%, 100.0% in the 83 patients receiving open surgery, versus 9, 7, 2, 11(range, 5?41)days, 91.6%, 97.3% in the 83 patients receiving laparoscopic surgery, showing no signi-ficant difference in postoperative complications, duration of postoperative hospital stay, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate ( χ2=2.91, Z=3 365.50, χ2=3.02, 1.49, P>0.05) between them. There was no significant difference in complications of the Clavien-Dindo classification between them ( P>0.05). ④ Comparison of clinical efficacy of patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent surgery with different surgical resection scopes. Before propensity score matching, cases with tumor diameter ≤5 cm and >5 cm, cases with tumor located at opposite side of mesangium and mesangium were 71, 85, 28, 128 in the 156 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent PD with complete clinical data, versus 92, 41, 120, 13 in the 133 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent duodenal limited resection with complete clinical data, showing significant differences between them ( χ2=16.34, 150.10, P<0.05). After propensity score matching, the above indicator were 28, 13, 16, 25 in the 41 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent PD with complete clinical data, versus 28, 13, 16, 25 in the 41 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent duodenal limited resection with complete clinical data, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.00, 0.00, P>0.05). Cases with postopera-tive complications, cases with grade Ⅰ?Ⅱ complications and ≥grade Ⅲ compli-cations of the Clavien-Dindo classification, duration of postoperative hospital stay, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 13, 11, 2, 15(range, 9?62)days, 94.2%, 64.3% in the 41 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent PD with complete clinical data, versus 9, 8, 0, 15(range, 7?40)days, 100.0%, 78.8% in the 41 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent duodenal limited resection with complete clinical data, showing no significant difference in post-operative complica-tions, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate ( χ2=0.99, 0.34, 1.86, P>0.05) between them. There was no significant difference in complications of the Clavien-Dindo classification ( P>0.05) and there was a significant difference in duration of postopera-tive hospital stay ( Z=614.50, P<0.05) between them. Conclusions:The clinical efficacy of radical surgery for duodenal GIST are ideal. Primary tumor located at the horizontal segment of duodenum, mitotic count >5/50 high power field, tumor gene KIT exon 9 mutation are independent risk factors affec-ting the overall survival of patients undergoing direct radical surgery and tumor diameter >5 cm and mitotic count >5/50 high power field are independent risk factors affecting the disease-free survival of patients. There is no significant difference in the short-term efficacy and long-term prognosis between patients undergoing open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. For patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum, the duration of postoperative hospital stay is longer in patients undergoing PD compared with patients undergoing duodenal limited resection. For patients evaluated as high risk of the modified NIH risk classification, posto-perative adjuvant therapy and treatment time ≥36 months are conducive to improving the prognosis of patients.

BackgroundAlcohol use disorder (AUD) is a type of chronic relapsing brain disorder. Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of AUD. And screening for molecular markers of AUD is of great significance for further elucidating the pathogenesis of the disease, discovering novel therapeutic targets and preventing relapse. ObjectiveTo explore relevant hub genes and potential signal pathways associated with the development of AUD through bioinformatics analysis, and to provide a new direction for the prevention and treatment of AUD. MethodsThe GSE161986 dataset was acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The limma package in R was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was carried out using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). A protein–protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was assessed using the STRING database and visualized by Cytoscape software. Finally, hub genes were validated in GSE44456 dataset. ResultsA total of 114 DEGs were identified. GSEA revealed that these genes were mainly involved in the regulation of signal transduction, protein binding, membrane trafficking and MAPK signaling pathway. PPI network and validation study indicated that GAD1, TIMP1 and CD44 were potential hub genes involved in AUD. ConclusionAberrant expression of GAD1 and TIMP1 as well as MAPK signaling pathway may play a key role in the pathogenesis of AUD, and may serve as potential molecular targets for the diagnosis and treatment of AUD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status of liver function abnormalities in patients with severe mental disorder (SMD) in Shanghai community, to explore the related factors to abnormal liver function in patients with SMD, and to analyze the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on liver function abnormalities. MethodsThe patients with SMD in Jinshan District, Minhang District, Hongkou District and Xuhui District of Shanghai were selected as the research subjects. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were conducted to obtain their demographic characteristics and liver function indicators such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBil). The types of mental disorders and medication status of patients in Jinshan District were also investigated. Abnormalities in liver function were determined by abnormalities in either ALT or TBil. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis of the status of abnormal liver function, and the effects of mental disorder types and medication status on liver function were analyzed, simultaneously. ResultsA total of 7 251 patients with SMD were finally included into this study, and the rate of liver function abnormality was 22.7%, of which 694 cases (9.6%) had ALT abnormality and 1 084 cases (14.9%) had TBil abnormality. Univariate analysis showed that the rate of liver function abnormalities was higher in males than that in females (χ2=45.026, P<0.001), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (χ2=25.317, P<0.001), higher in those with higher BMI than in those with lower BMI (χ2=63.748, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood pressure (BP) than in those without elevated BP (χ2=24.774, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (χ2=43.345, P<0.001), higher in those with abnormal triglyceride (TG) than in those with normal TG (χ2=15.551,P<0.001), and higher in those with abnormal total cholesterol (TC) than in those with normal TC (χ2=10.962, P=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the rate of abnormal liver function was higher in males than that in females (OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.73), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.21‒1.70), higher in those with overweight than in those with normal BMI (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.01‒1.33), higher in those with obesity than in those with those with normal BMI (OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.91), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.23‒1.58), and higher in those with abnormal TC than in those with normal TC (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.13‒1.65).The difference in the rate of ALT abnormalities among the SMD patients in Jinshan District with different medication status was statistically significant (χ2=21.928, P<0.001). Whereas, the differences in the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on the status of liver function abnormalities were not statistically significant(P>0.05). ConclusionThe detection rate of liver function abnormalities in community-based SMD patients in Shanghai is high, and male, suburban, and accompanied by elevated BMI, BP, blood glucose, and TC are risk factors for liver function abnormalities in patients with SMD. Primary healthcare providers should pay more attention to the liver function of patients with SMD and initiate targeted and tailored prevention, detection and treatment measures.

ObjectiveTo understand the stress level of people seeking psychological counseling under the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID⁃19) pandemic and to explore its related factors. MethodsAn online survey was conducted on 1 194 people who sought psychological counseling in Shanghai through the “health cloud” psychological counseling service platform. The questionnaire included demographic information,lifestyle and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. ResultsParticipants with low,medium,high and very high stress levels accounted for 33.1% (395/1 194),34.6% (413/1 194),25.4% (303/1 194) and 7.0% (83/1 194),respectively. Women and participants aged 18 to 30 years had higher stress levels(Z=-5.368,P<0.001; Z=35.822,P<0.001) compared with other groups. Factors contributing to the rise in stress included reading too much information about COVID-19 (OR=2.057,95%CI:1.012‒4.181),large changes in sleep state (OR=3.496,95%CI:1.669‒7.325),lack of hobbies and interests (OR=2.852,95%CI:1.252‒6.500),and prone to anxiety/irritability/sadness (OR=4.098,95%CI:1.772‒9.480). Conclusionpeople who sought psychological counseling show high levels of psychological stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. We should pay more attention to the vulnerable groups with the following characteristics: women,18‒30 years old, residents who pay too much attention to the pandemic information,sleep less, and almost lose interest in hobbies, and easily become anxious/irritable/sad.

ObjectiveTo determine the factors associated with aggressive behaviors of patients with schizophrenia by gender in communities in Shanghai, and further develop and validate the prediction model. MethodsA total of 7 955 community patients with schizophrenia were investigated in Xuhui District, Hongkou District and Jiading District of Shanghai. Baseline information was collected from April 2018 and follow-up was conducted every 3 months for 6 months. Multivariate logistic regression was used to calculate the odd ratio (OR) and 95% CI, and determine the factors associated with aggressive behaviors of patients. The risk score for each patient was developed based on the β coefficient, and the best cut-off value was determined by the Youden index. For the models, predictive ability was determined using area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve), and internal validation ability was evaluated by the ten-fold cross validation method. ResultsThere were 3 563 males in this study with an average age of (54.83±13.72) years old, and the incidence of aggressive behaviors was 2.55%.There were 4 392 females with an average age of (57.20±14.98) years, and the incidence of aggressive behaviors was 2.64%. For male patients with schizophrenia, single/divorced status (OR=2.04, 95%CI: 1.15‒3.61), low economic status (OR=2.79, 95%CI: 1.71‒4.54), irregular medication (OR=4.35, 95%CI:2.23‒8.47), no medication (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.03‒3.26), incomplete/no insight (OR=1.97, 95%CI:0.99‒3.94), adverse drug reaction (OR=2.61, 95%CI:1.27‒5.37), psychiatric symptoms involving violence (OR=2.06, 95%CI:1.01‒4.18), history of aggression (OR=5.29, 95%CI:2.33‒11.98) and recent stress events (OR=8.36, 95%CI:4.13‒16.92) were associated with aggressive behaviors. In contrast, for female patients, age less than 60 years (50‒59 years, OR=2.09, 95%CI: 1.13‒3.87; 40‒49 years, OR=2.74, 95%CI: 1.46‒5.17; 30‒39 years,OR=2.88, 95%CI: 1.48‒5.60; 18‒29 years, OR=5.71, 95%CI: 2.44‒13.37), educational level of high school and above (senior high school, OR=3.30, 95%CI: 1.46‒7.49; college and university, OR=2.88, 95%CI: 1.21‒6.82), unemployed status (OR=1.81, 95%CI=1.17‒2.82), irregular medication (OR=7.87, 95%CI:4.75‒13.05), no medication (OR=2.11, 95%CI:1.24‒3.62), adverse drug reaction (OR=2.75, 95%CI:1.50‒5.04), psychiatric symptoms involving violence (OR=3.08, 95%CI:1.77‒5.37), social function (OR=3.51, 95%CI:2.07‒5.94) and recent stress events (OR=5.92, 95%CI: 2.82‒12.44) were risk factors. In both male and female, the prediction models for aggressive behaviors of community patients with schizophrenia had strong predictive ability (AUC=0.779, 95%CI: 0.725‒0.834; AUC=0.822, 95%CI: 0.780‒0.863). ConclusionThis study suggests that diverse risk factors should be considered for community patients with schizophrenia by gender to prevent the aggressive behaviors.
