Imaging-guided radiofrequency ablation(RFA) is a safe and minimally-invasive interven-tional therapy with satisfactory short-term efficacy and less complications.Nowadays,RFA has been widely and successfully applied in the clinical practice for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas,lung cancers,adrenal malignancies,bone tumors and hypersplenism.For recent years,a combination of RFA with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization,chemical ablation or percutaneous vertebroplasty has become a new interventional therapeutic pattern for treating the tumors comprehensively,and it can be anticipated that by combining RFA with other therapeutic programs the effectiveness for tumors will be further improved.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors for depressive symptoms in adolescents in China, so as to provide insights into promoting mental health of adolescents. Methods: The 2020 follow-up survey data of China Family Panel Studies were collected, including demographic information, lifestyle, family factors and academic factors of adolescents aged 10-19 years. Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the 8-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. The influencing factors for depressive symptoms in adolescents were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 2 777 adolescents were analyzed, including 1 470 males (52.93%) and 1 307 females (47.07%). There were 1 186 adolescents (42.71%) from urban areas and 1 591 adolescents (57.29%) from rural areas, 106 smokers (3.82%), and 459 adolescents (16.53%) with depressive symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that academic stress (OR=1.268, 95%CI: 1.151-1.396), poor self-rated health (OR=1.255, 95%CI: 1.116-1.411), smoking (OR=1.901, 95%CI: 1.127-3.207), low trust in parents (OR=0.780, 95%CI: 0.729-0.835) and large family size (OR=1.095, 95%CI: 1.035-1.158) were associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms in adolescents. Conclusion The influencing factors for depressive symptoms in adolescents were academic stress, self-rated health, smoking, trust in parents and family size.

Radiofrequency ablation(RFA) is a local and minimally-invasive therapy.In recent years,RFA has been increasingly practiced in the clinical treatment of bone tumors.RFA is very safe and effective in relieving pain caused by inoperable metastatic bone lesions and in reinforcing the ablated vertebra when combined with bone cement injection,which is helpful in preventing pathologic fracture.RFA offers an ideal and effective alternative for patients with inoperable metastatic bone tumors.

The early functional changes of the heart after radiation, burn or combined radiation-burn injury were studied with an isolated working heart preparation of rats. The animals were randomized into the control group (C), the burn injury group (B) inflicted with 30% TB-SA full thickness burns from a 5 kw bromine-tungsten lamp, the radiation injury group (R) inflicted with total body irradiation of 6 Gy from a "Co source and the combined radiation-burn injury group (RB) receiving both of the injuries. No treatment was administered after injury. Left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP). maximum of LV pressure development ( ? dp/ dtmax), heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), coronary flow (CF), aortic pressure (A.P) and ratio of dry/wet myocardial weight (Rw) of the perfused isolated heart were determined in the 1st, 3rd, 8th, 16th and 24th hour after injury. It was found that LVSP, ?dp/dtmax, CO and AP were decreased in RB especially in the 8th hour after injury ( P
