Objective:To describe demographic,clinical and physiological characteristics,treatment between first-episode major depressive disorder(MDD)and relapse MDD,and to explore characteristics of relapse MDD.Methods:Totally 858 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depression of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition(DSM-5),were included by using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview(MINI),Clinician-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity,and Hamilton Depression Scale etc.Among them,529(58.6％)were first-episode depression and 329(36.0％)were relapsed.The differences of demographic characteristics,clinical and physiological characteristics,treatment were compared byx2test and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test.Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the characteristics of MDD recur-rence.Results:Compared to first-episode MDD,relapse MDD had more comorbidity(OR=2.11,95％CI:1.00-4.44),more days out of role(OR=1.26,95％CI:1.01-1.56),more history of using psychiatric drug more than one month(OR=1.41,95％CI:1.02-1.97)and electroconvulsive therapy(OR=3.23,95％CI:1.42-7.36),and higher waist-hip ratio(OR=33.88,95％CI:2.88-399.32).Conclusion:Relapse MDD has positive as-sociation with comorbidity of mental disorders,out of role,and higher waist-hip ratio.

Objective:To compare the CT image characteristics of pneumoconiosis large shadow and primary lung cancer mass, and analyze the value of CT image characteristics in the differential diagnosis of pneumoconiosis large shadow and primary lung cancer.Methods:In September 2022, 43 patients with stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis who were hospitalized in Zibo Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 and 52 patients with primary lung cancer who were confirmed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University during the same period were selected as the investigation objects, and the image characteristics of pneumoconiosis large shadow or lung cancer mass and surrounding tissues in the chest CT images of the two groups were compared. Univariate analysis, cluster analysis and cross analysis were used to screen out statistically significant indicators as independent variables, and pneumoconiosis and lung cancer as dependent variables for logistic regression analysis.Results:There were statistically significant differences between large shadow of pneumoconiosis and primary lung cancer mass in single factor CT imaging, such as irregular shape of lesions, CT attenuation value, calcification, cavitation, spiculation, liquefactive necrosis, satellite lesions, adjacent emphysema, short spicules, and pleural thickening ( P<0.05). CT value ≥92 HU (abnormal CT attenuation value), calcification, peripheral satellite lesions, pleural thickening, parapunctal emphysema, spines on the lesion margin, irregular lesion morphology were typical features of stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis, with multiple features of aggregation. The typical features of lung cancer were liquefaction necrosis, round or quasi-round appearance, cavitation and interlobar pleura. A logistic regression model was constructed using satellite lesions, spiculation, pleural thickening, and lesion abnormal CT attenuation value had an R2 of 0.880 and an accuracy of 95.3% for differentiation. Conclusion:Abnormal CT attenuation value, calcification, peripheral satellite lesions, pleural thickening, spiculation at the edges, liquefaction necrosis, interlobar pleura involvement, and cavitation can distinguish the large shadow of stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis from lung cancer mass.

Acute suppurative thyroiditis(AST) is a rare thyroid disease, mostly caused by infections such as Staphylococcus aureus, and it is difficult to distinguish from subacute thyroiditis(SAT) at the beginning of the disease. Here we report the clinical data of a young male patient who was initially misdiagnosed as SAT, but was clinically diagnosed as AST with DNSIs accompanied by LS. The clinical features and treatment, combined with related literature, aim to enhance clinicians' understanding of this disease.

Objective:To investigate the level of the transporter RNA (tRNA) derivative tRF-5026a in the serum of breast cancer patients and its value for the diagnosis of breast cancer, and to investigate its effect on the biological functions of breast cancer cells in vitro and the possible mechanisms.Methods:Sixty female breast cancer patients (breast cancer group) hospitalized in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from January 2016 to February 2019 and 20 healthy women undergoing physical examination during the same period (healthy control group) were retrospectively selected. The relative expression of serum tRF-5026a in the study subjects was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of serum tRF-5026a level for the diagnosis of breast cancer was drawn with pathological diagnosis as the gold standard. tRF-5026a mimics (tRF-5026a group) and negative control sequences (negative control group) were transiently transfected into MCF-7 and BT549 cells by lipofectamine method; CCK-8 assay and 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay were used to detect the ability of cell proliferation in cells of each group; cell apoptosis in cells of each group was detected by flow cytometry; the abilities of cell invasion and migration in cells of each group were detected by Transwell assay; the expressions of epithelial mesenchymal transition-related proteins in cells of each group were detected by Western blotting.Results:The relative expressions of tRF-5026a [ M ( Q1, Q3)] in serum of healthy control group and breast cancer group were 16.58 (6.37, 26.31) and 3.46 (0.32, 9.01), with a statistically significant difference ( Z = -4.27, P < 0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosis of breast cancer by the relative expression of serum tRF-5026a was 0.820 (95% CI: 0.722-0.918), with an optimal cut-off value of 9.082, and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 75.0 % and 76.7%, respectively. The apoptosis rates of MCF-7 cells in the tRF-5026a group and the corresponding negative control group were (16.52±0.51)% and (12.28±1.75)%, and the BT549 cells were (13.27±2.18)% and (8.86±0.29)%, the differences were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). MCF-7 and BT549 cells in the tRF-5026a group had lower proliferative, invasive and migratory abilities than cells in the corresponding negative control group (all P < 0.05). MCF-7 and BT549 cells in the tRF-5026a group had lower protein expressions of N-cadherin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and MMP-3 than cells in the corresponding negative control group. Conclusions:tRF-5026a has low level in the serum of breast cancer patients and it may be an indicator for breast cancer diagnosis. tRF-5026a can inhibit the proliferation, invasion and migration of breast cancer MCF-7 and BT549 cells in vitro, which may be related to the regulation of epithelial mesenchymal transition.

Objective To investigate the expression level of serum tRNA derived tRF-17-79MP9PP(tRF-17)in patients with breast cancer and evaluate its correlation with the prognostic of the patients.Methods The serum samples were collected from 70 patients with breast cancer admitted to Jiangsu Cancer Hospital during June 2016 and December 2019 and 25 age-matched healthy women,and the clinical data of the patients were recorded.The expression level of serum tRF-17 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR).The receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnosis value of tRF-17 in breast cancer patients.The correlations of tRF-17 with blood inflammatory indicators and tumor markers were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.The deadline for follow-up was April 2023.The factors influencing the prognosis of breast cancer were analyzed by the univari-ate and multivariate COX regression analysis.Results The expression levels of serum tRF-17 in breast cancer patients(3.99[0.70,10.46])were significantly lower than that in healthy controls(14.09[5.14,21.34],Z=-3.575,P＜0.01).The area under the ROC curve of tRF-17 for diagnosing breast cancer was 0.742(95％CI:0.635-0.849,P＜0.01).The average survival time of patients with high expression of tRF-17 was significantly higher than that of patients with low expression(75.97 months vs 56.06 months,log-rank P＜0.01).The COX proportional hazards model analysis showed that lymph node metastasis and the expression level of serum tRF-17 were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of the patients(HR=1.723,95％Cl:1.084-2.739,P＜0.05;HR=0.189,95％CI:0.041-0.862,P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum tRF-17 is low expressed in breast cancer patients,and its expression level is an inde-pendent risk factor affecting the prognosis of breast cancer patients,which may be used as a biomarker to evaluate the prognosis of the patients.

Objectives:To evaluate the biomechanical state of the I4-L5 segment after unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression(ULBD)surgery using finite element analysis,providing a theoretical basis for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases with ULBD.Methods:Thin-slice CT scan data from the lumbar spine of a healthy volunteer were extracted,and high-fidelity three-dimensional finite element methods were applied to establish normal I4-L5 model,post-ULBD surgery model,and post-lumbar fenestration(LF)surgery model.The L5 vertebral body's lower endplate was fully fixed in all the models,and a 500N axial load was applied at the L4 upper endplate,along with a 10N·m bending moment load in six directions of flexion,ex-tension,left lateral bending,right lateral bending,left rotation,and right rotation.Comparative analysis of the biomechanical characteristics such as intervertebral disc compression height,intervertebral range of motion(ROM),stress distribution within the intervertebral disc,and facet joint pressure was conducted under different loads for the three models.Results:The ROMs under six directions of movements were within the range of the measured results of previous cadaveric studies,verifying that the normal model was valid.Under the 500N axial load,the intervertebral disc compression heights for the normal model,post-ULBD and post-LF surgery models were 0.74mm,0.85mm,and 0.85mm,respectively.With an additional 10N·m bending moment load,the intervertebral ROM in flexion,extension,left lateral bending,right lateral bending,left rotation,and right rotation for the normal model were 6.1°,4.2°,5.1°,4.6°,2.9°,and 2.6°,respectively;for the post-ULBD model,they were 6.5°,4.8°,6.0°,5.2°,3.2°,and 2.9°,respectively;and for the post-LF model,they were 6.4°,4.6°,5.6°,5.1°,3.0°,and 2.8°,respectively.There was no significant difference in the stress dis-tribution within the intervertebral disc for the three models,with the maximum von Mises stress occurring at the outer annulus fibrosus on the compressed side of the disc.The maximum von Mises stress in the inter-vertebral disc for the normal model under flexion,extension,left lateral bending,right lateral bending,left ro-tation,and right rotation was 0.52MPa,0.66MPa,0.81 MPa,0.87MPa,0.46MPa,and 0.40MPa,respectively;for the post-ULBD model,it was 0.64MPa,0.76MPa,1.06MPa,1.13MPa,0.60MPa,and 0.64MPa,respectively;and for the post-LF model,it was 0.65MPa,0.80MPa,1.00MPa,1.06MPa,0.66MPa,and 0.65MPa,respec-tively.Significant facet joint contact pressure was observed under left and right rotation,with the normal mod-el showing contact pressure of 60N and 69N,the post-ULBD model showing 30N and 87N,and the post-LF model showing 79N and 120N.Conclusions:After ULBD surgery,there is an increase in lumbar interverte-bral disc compression height,intervertebral ROM,stress within the intervertebral disc,and facet joint pressure.Compared with LF surgery,ULBD has a smaller impact on the biomechanical stability of the lumbar segment.

Occupational pneumoconiosis (hereinafter referred to as pneumoconiosis) is the most harmful occupational disease in China. According to the current standard GBZ 70-2015 Diagnosis of Occupational Pneumoconiosis, pneumoconiosis is mainly diagnosed and staged by high kilovolt or digital radiography. Chest radiography in pneumoconiosis is the most widely studied and mature imaging technique in the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. However, this technique has some limitations in the screening of some early pneumoconiosis and occupational health examination, and there is a certain risk of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. With the continuous development of imaging examination technology, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography-computed tomography and artificial intelligence technology as auxiliary imaging examination methods have shown different diagnostic values in the research of auxiliary diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. This paper summarizes the advantages and problems in the application of various kinds of imaging techniques, which provides a direction for the future research of imaging techniques related to the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis.
