Objective:
To explore the application effect of a guided self help intervention based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to address non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior among college students, so as to provide a reference for reducing the occurrence of NSSI behavior in this population.
Methods:
A total of 106 college students with NSSI admitted to the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected and divided into an observation group and a control group, with 53 cases in each group, using a random number table method. The control group received routine medication treatment and psychological intervention, while the observation group, on the basis of the interventions provided to the control group, implemented dialectical behavior therapy based guided self help. The approach combines group activities, individual counseling, and selfdirected learning, covering four core modules: mindfulness training, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation. Meanwhile, data collection, skill check ins, and personalized recommendation pushes were conducted through a WeChat. Both groups were intervented for 12 weeks. Before the intervention and after the intervention, the Adolescent Non suicidal Self injury Behavior Questionnaire, Ottawa Self injury Inventory (OSI), and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) were used to evaluate the patients, and the levels of serum neurotransmitters were detected. The χ 2 test, t test, and Cochran s Q test were used for data comparison and analysis.
Results:
The incidence rates of NSSI in the observation group after 3, 6, and 12 weeks of intervention were 47.17%, 16.98%, and 5.66%, respectively, all lower than those in the control group (67.92%, 35.85%, 20.75%) ( χ 2=4.67, 4.85, 5.27,all P <0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, in the NSSI Behavior Questionnaire, the total score of the observation group was (17.94±2.69) points, which was lower than that of the control group (23.04±5.11) points; in the Function Questionnaire, the total score of the observation group was (53.24±8.94) points, which was higher than that of the control group (47.74±8.00) points(both P <0.05). In terms of the OSI, the total score of the observation group was (4.49±0.62) points, lower than that of the control group (6.25±0.81) points;in the BIS, the total score of the observation group was (80.76±7.94) points, lower than that of the control group (87.74±9.34) points,and the differences between groups were statistically significant(both P<0.05). After the intervention, the level of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the observation group was (67.93±5.42) ng/mL, higher than (44.72±5.54) ng/mL of the control group; the levels of substance P and cortisol in the observation group were (35.82±4.47) ng/L and (75.64±8.02) μg/L, respectively, both lower than (48.14±5.32) ng/L and (94.53±10.78) μg/L of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
The guided self help intervention based on DBT is helpful for reducing NSSI behavior among college students.

ObjectiveTo explore the epidemic levels and epidemiological characteristics of influenza-like illness (ILI) in Hongkou District of Shanghai, to track the trends in virus mutations, so as to offer a scientific foundation for precisely predicting influenza epidemic trends, providing early alerts, and implementing prompt prevention and control measures. MethodsData on ILI and etiological surveillance from Hongkou District between 2015 and 2024 were collected and statistically analyzed. ResultsThe consultation percentage of ILI (ILI%) in Hongkou District from 2015 to 2024 was 0.58%, and the differences were statistically significant between different years (χ²=19 280.500, P<0.001), with winter and summer being the prevalence peaks. The highest proportion of ILI cases was observed in the 25‒<60 years age group, and the proportion of cases aged ≥60 years showed an increasing trend. The positive rate for influenza viruses was 17.60%, with seasonal influenzaA (H3N2) subtype (49.78%) and influenza A(H1N1) (30.03%) being the predominant strains,and the positive rate was different by years. There was a correlation between ILI% and the positive rate of influenza viruses (r=0.260, P<0.001). The median intensity of influenza activity in 2023‒2024 was 23.09, which was significantly higher than that in 2015‒2019 (H=37.052, P<0.001) and that in 2020‒2022 (H=40.436, P<0.001). ConclusionFrom 2015 to 2022, the ILI% in Hongkou District, Shanghai remained at a relatively low level, but it significantly increased in 2023‒2024, with peaks observed in winter and summer. The predominant influenza virus strains varied and alternated by years. The 2023‒2024 period witnessed an intensified influenza activity. It is necessary to continuously monitor the impact of other respiratory pathogens on influenza epidemic, so as to provide a scientific basis for early warning and prevention and control of influenza.

A strategy combining a tailored database and high-throughput activity screening that discover bioactive metabolites derived from Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (MOC) was developed and implemented to rapidly profile and discover bioactive metabolites in vivo derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The strategy possessed four characteristics: 1) The tailored database consisted of metabolites derived from big data-originated reference compound, metabolites predicted in silico, and MOC chemical profile-based pseudomolecular ions. 2) When profiling MOC-derived metabolites in vivo, attentions were paid not only to prototypes of MOC compounds and metabolites directly derived from MOC compounds, as reported by most papers, but also to isomerized metabolites and the degradation products of MOC compounds as well as their derived metabolites. 3) Metabolite traceability was performed, especially to distinguish isomeric prototypes-derived metabolites, prototypes of MOC compounds as well as phase I metabolites derived from other MOC compounds. 4) Molecular docking was utilized for high-throughput activity screening and molecular dynamic simulation as well as zebrafish model were used for verification. Using this strategy, 134 metabolites were swiftly characterized after the oral administration of MOC to rats, and several metabolites were reported for the first time. Furthermore, 17 potential active metabolites were discovered by targeting the motilin, dopamine D2, and the serotonin type 4 (5-HT4) receptors, and part bioactivities were verified using molecular dynamic simulation and a zebrafish constipation model. This study extends the application of mass spectrometry (MS) to rapidly profile TCM-derived metabolites in vivo, which will help pharmacologists rapidly discover potent metabolites from a complex matrix.

Objective:To explore the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with transvaginal ultrasound features and quantitative parameters in evaluating high-risk endometrial cancer (EC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on 69 EC patients who received CEUS examination and were confirmed by surgery and pathology in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2017 to September 2022. According to postoperative pathology, the patients were divided into low-risk group ( n=38) and high-risk group ( n=31). The differences in CEUS, transvaginal ultrasound features and quantitative parameters between the two groups were compared, relevant parameters that with predictive value for high-risk EC were screened, and these parameters were scored. Results:①There were differences in lesion size (thick diameter, long diameter), vascular morphology, and color blood flow score between high and low risk ECs (all P<0.05). ②There were differences in CEUS parameters [perfusion mode, enhancement intensity, area under curve(AUC)] between high and low risk EC groups (all P<0.05). ③The areas under the ROC curve for diagnosing high-risk EC were 0.79, 0.69, 0.69, and 0.62, respectively, based on the critical values of lesion thickness diameter ≥1.85 cm, lesion length diameter ≥2.05 cm, ultrasound contrast quantification parameter AUC ≥859 au, and enhancement intensity ≥29.4 dB. ④Using statistically significant parameters for scoring, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing high-risk EC with the score ≥5, were 70.97% and 89.47%, respectively. Conclusions:The combination of CEUS and transvaginal ultrasound is a feasible method for predicting high-risk EC. CEUS parameters (enhanced intensity, AUC, and " focal" perfusion mode) are related to high-risk EC. The combination of CEUS and transvaginal ultrasound helps to pre-evaluate the pathological prognostic factors of endometrial malignant lesions before surgery, providing a basis for clinical follow-up treatment.

Objective:To analyze changes in energy metabolism and oxylipin metabolism in macrophages after stimulation by Mycobacterium marinum ( M. marinum) using targeted metabolomics, and to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying the immune defense by macrophages against M. marinum infections. Methods:Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages were obtained from the bilateral femurs of mice, and cultured cells were divided into two groups: the active M. marinum group and the inactivated M. marinum group. Bacterial suspensions were prepared using M. marinum clinical isolates; the active M. marinum group was treated with live M. marinum suspensions for 12 hours, while the inactivated M. marinum group with inactivated M. marinum suspensions for 12 hours. Cell morphology was observed through microscopy, and cell length was measured. Cell lysates collected from both groups were subjected to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis to detect energy and oxylipin metabolites. A t-test was utilized to compare the lengths of macrophages between the two groups, while principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were conducted to identify differential metabolites. Results:Under the microscope, macrophages in the active M. marinum group formed more granuloma-like cell aggregates compared with those in the inactivated M. marinum group; the macrophages were significantly thinner and longer in the inactivated M. marinum group (439.52 ± 91.67 μm) than in the active M. marinum group (289.96 ± 70.11 μm, P < 0.001). Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis of energy metabolism and oxylipin metabolism in macrophages demonstrated good separation between the two groups. As for the energy metabolism, a total of 12 differential metabolites were identified, with the amino acid metabolism showing the most significant changes. Specifically, there was a significant increase in the content of L-citrulline, while the content of L-leucine and serine decreased. As for the oxylipin metabolism, 20 differential metabolites were identified, with the arachidonic acid metabolism showing the most significant changes. Conclusions:Macrophages stimulated by live M. marinum exhibited altered amino acid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism compared with those stimulated by inactivated M. marinum, characterized by an increase in L-citrulline content, a decrease in L-leucine and serine levels, and alterations in arachidonic acid content.
