Objective:To explore the relationship between suicidal ideation and parent-child attachment in col-lege students,and the roles of peer attachment and meaning in life.Methods:Totally 1 137 college students were se-lected.The Positive and Negative Suicidal Ideation(PANSI)was used to evaluate suicidal ideation,Revised Inven-tory of Parent and Peer Attachment(IPPA-R)was used to evaluate parent-child attachment and peer attachment,and Meaning in Life Questionnaire(MLQ)was used to evaluate meaning in life.Results:The scores of father-child attachment,mother-child attachment,peer attachment,presence of meaning and seeking for meaning were negatively correlation with the scores of suicidal ideation(r=-0.51--0.19,Ps<0.001).The mediating effects of peer at-tachment and presence of meaning and the chain mediating effects were-0.08,-0.16 and-0.04,respectively,accounting for 13.83%,25.83%and 6.17%of the total effects.Conclusion:Parent-child attachment may be asso-ciated with suicidal ideation in college students,and suicidal ideation could be reduced by improving the quality of peer relationship and enhancing the presence of meaning.

Objective:To explore the relationship between gratitude and academic burnout incollege students,as well as the role of psychological well-being and proactive coping in their relationship.Methods:A total of 1 038 college students from 4 universities were selected andassessedwith the Gratitude Scale(GQ-6),Flourishing Scale(FS),Proactive Coping Scale(PCS)and Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey(MBI-GS).SPSS macro pro-gram Process and Bootstrap method were used to test the mediating effect.Results:The MBI-GS scores were higher in boys than in girls(P<0.01),and higher in those with left behind experience thanin those without left behind ex-perience(P<0.001).The GQ-6 scores were negatively associated with the MBI-GS scores(β=-0.19,P<0.001).PCS scores played an independent mediating role between GQ-6 scores and MBI-GS scores(Indirect effect=0.05,95%CI=0.02-0.09),while the scores of psychological well-being and proactive coping had a chain mediating effect between gratitude scores and academic burnout scores(Indirect effect=0.06,95%CI=0.03~0.01).Conclusion:It suggests that gratitude is related to academic burnout in college students,and proactive cop-ing plays an independent mediating role,while psychological well-being and proactive coping play a chain media-ting role.

Objective:To explore the application effect of hydration therapy in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) of peripheral arterial disease, and to provide reference for clinical application.Methods:A randomized controlled trial method was used to select 86 patients with IC of peripheral arterial disease who attended the Department of Vascular Surgery of Shanxi Bethune Hospital from June to September 2023 as the study subjects by convenience sampling method, and they were divided into the control group and the intervention group by using the method of randomized numerical table, each group had 43 cases. In the control group, routine care was provided, and in the intervention group, hydration therapy was implemented on the basis of the control group. Ankle-brachial index, transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen, and claudication distance were assessed in both groups 1d before and 6 months after the intervention.Results:Forty-two patients in each group completed the study, 21 males and 21 females, aged (61.33 ± 8.93) years in the intervention group; 24 males and 18 females, aged (61.33 ± 9.01) years in the control group. Compared with the ankle-brachial index, transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure and limp distance of the 2 groups 1 d before intervention, the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05), and 6 months after the intervention, the transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure of the patients in the intervention group was (37.69 ± 8.86) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and that of the control group was (29.69 ± 7.79) mmHg, and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant ( t=4.40, P<0.05). The differences in patients′ transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen and limp distance before and after intervention in the intervention group were -7.00 (-13.00, -1.75) mmHg and -50.00 (-100.00, 0.00) m, respectively, and in the control group were 0.01 (-1.00, 1.00) mmHg and 0.01 (-1.25, 20.00) m, respectively, and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically were statistically significant ( Z=5.59, 4.33, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Hydration therapy improves transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure values and claudication distance in patients with peripheral arterial disease IC, and improves microcirculation of the affected limbs in patients.

BACKGROUND:
Liver biopsy for the diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is limited by its inherent invasiveness and possible sampling errors. Some studies have shown that cytokeratin-18 (CK-18) concentrations may be useful in diagnosing NASH, but results across studies have been inconsistent. We aimed to identify the utility of CK-18 M30 concentrations as an alternative to liver biopsy for non-invasive identification of NASH.
METHODS:
Individual data were collected from 14 registry centers on patients with biopsy-proven non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and in all patients, circulating CK-18 M30 levels were measured. Individuals with a NAFLD activity score (NAS) ≥5 with a score of ≥1 for each of steatosis, ballooning, and lobular inflammation were diagnosed as having definite NASH; individuals with a NAS ≤2 and no fibrosis were diagnosed as having non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL).
RESULTS:
A total of 2571 participants were screened, and 1008 (153 with NAFL and 855 with NASH) were finally enrolled. Median CK-18 M30 levels were higher in patients with NASH than in those with NAFL (mean difference 177 U/L; standardized mean difference [SMD]: 0.87 [0.69-1.04]). There was an interaction between CK-18 M30 levels and serum alanine aminotransferase, body mass index (BMI), and hypertension ( P < 0.001, P = 0.026 and P = 0.049, respectively). CK-18 M30 levels were positively associated with histological NAS in most centers. The area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) for NASH was 0.750 (95% confidence intervals: 0.714-0.787), and CK-18 M30 at Youden's index maximum was 275.7 U/L. Both sensitivity (55% [52%-59%]) and positive predictive value (59%) were not ideal.
CONCLUSION
This large multicenter registry study shows that CK-18 M30 measurement in isolation is of limited value for non-invasively diagnosing NASH.
