BackgroundAddictive non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behaviors among adolescents have become increasingly prominent， although previous studies have identified multiple related risk factors and have examined the association between screen time and NSSI behaviors， the impact of screen time on NSSI behaviors addiction， as well as the mediating role of family dysfunction in this relationship， remain to be further clarified. ObjectiveTo investigate the mediating role of family dysfunction in the relationship between screen time and NSSI behaviors addiction among adolescent female patients with depression disorder， with the aim of providing references for reducing NSSI behaviors addiction. MethodsFrom September 2024 to November 2025， a total of 652 adolescent female patients with depression disorder were enrolled from both outpatient and inpatient departments of Xiamen Xian-yue Hospital， all of whom met the diagnostic criteria for depressive episode （F32） or recurrent depressive disorder （F33） according to the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）. Assessments included a self-developed demographic questionnaire， screen use questionnaire， Chinese Family Assessment Instrument （C-FAI）， and Ottawa Self-injury Inventory Chinese Revised version （OSIC）. Among participants with NSSI behaviors， Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between screen time and scale scores. Model 4 of the Process 4.1 for SPSS 26.0 was then applied to test the mediating role， and Bootstrapping procedure involving 5 000 replicates was employed to confirm the statistical significance. ResultsAmong the 652 patients， 569 （87.27%） exhibited NSSI behaviors. Among them， 398 cases （69.95%） belonged to the addictive NSSI group， and 171 cases （30.05%） belonged to the non-addictive NSSI group. The OSIC addiction dimension score was positively correlated with screen time and C-FAI scores （r_s=0.114， 0.224， P<0.01）. Family dysfunction mediated the relationship between screen time and NSSI addiction， with an indirect effect value of 0.036 （95% CI： 0.016–0.062）， accounting for 35.88% of the total effect. ConclusionScreen time may affect the NSSI behaviors addiction in adolescent female patients with depression disorder through family dysfunction. ［Funded by Joint Funds for the Innovation of Science and Technology， Fujian Province （number， 2025Y9762）］

“Runner’s high” refers to a momentary sense of pleasure that suddenly appears during running or other exercise activities, characterized by anti-anxiety, pain relief, and other symptoms. The neurobiological mechanism of “runner’s high” is unclear. This review summarizes human and animal models for studying “runner’s high”, analyzes the neurotransmitters and neural circuits involved in runner’s high, and elucidates the evidence and shortcomings of researches related to “runner’s high”. This review also provides prospects for future research. Research has found that exercise lasting more than 30 min and with an intensity exceeding 70% of the maximum heart rate can reach a “runner’s high”. Human experiments on “runner’s high” mostly use treadmill exercise intervention, and evaluate it through questionnaire surveys, measurement of plasma AEA, miRNA and other indicators. Animal experiments often use voluntary wheel running intervention, and evaluate it through behavioral experiments such as conditional place preference, light dark box experiments (anxiety), hot plate experiments (pain sensitivity), and measurement of plasma AEA and other indicators. Dopamine, endogenous opioid peptides, endogenous cannabinoids, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and other substances increase after exercise, which may be related to the “runner’s high”. However, attention should be paid to the functional differences of these substances in the central and peripheral regions, as well as in different brain regions. Moreover, current studies have not identified the targets of the neurotransmitters or neural factors mentioned above, and further in-depth researches are needed. The mesolimbic dopamine system, prefrontal cortex-nucleus accumbens projection, ventral hippocampus-nucleus accumbens projection, red nucleus-ventral tegmental area projection, cerebellar-ventral tegmental area projection, and brain-gut axis may be involved in the regulation of runner’s high, but there is a lack of direct evidence to prove their involvement. There are still many issues that need to be addressed in the research on the neurobiological mechanisms of “runner’s high”. (1) Most studies on “runner’s high” involve one-time exercise, and the characteristics of changes in “runner’s high” during long-term exercise still need to be explored. (2) The using of scales to evaluate subjects lead to the lacking of objective indicators. However, some potential biomarkers (such as endocannabinoids) have inconsistent characteristics of changes after one-time and long-term exercise. (3) The neurotransmitters involved in the formation of the “runner’s high” all increase in the peripheral and/or central nervous system after exercise. Attention should be paid to whether peripheral substances can enter the blood-brain barrier and the binding effects of neurotransmitters to different receptors are completely different in different brain regions. (4) Most of the current evidence show that some brain regions are activated after exercise. Is there a functional circuit mediating “runner’s high” between these brain regions? (5) Although training at a specific exercise intensity can lead to “runner’s high”, most runners have not experienced “runner’s high”. Can more scientific training methods or technological means be used to make it easier for people to experience the “runner’s high” and thus be more willing to engage in exercise? (6) The “runner’s high” and “addiction” behaviors are extremely similar, and there are evidences that exercise can reverse addictive behaviors. However, why is there still a considerable number of people in the sports population and even athletes who smoke or use addictive drugs instead of pursuing the “pleasure” brought by exercise? Solving the problems above is of great significance for enhancing the desire of exercise, improving the clinical application of neurological and psychiatric diseases through exercise, and enhancing the overall physical fitness of the population.

Objective To investigate the effect of vitamin B12(VB12)on the expression of zonula occludens-1(ZO-1)in house dust mite(HDM)-treated human airway epithelial cell line(Beas-2b)and its underlying mechanism.Methods Beas-2b cells were cultured in DMEM high-glucose medium containing 10%fetal bovine serum.The cells were divided into four groups:control,VB12,HDM,and VB12+HDM.Beas-2b cells were trans-fected with lentiviruses carrying NC-siRNA,ATG5-siRNA,BECN1-siRNA,and mCherry-EGFP-LC3.After 12 hours of transfection(MOI=20),the medium was replaced with fresh medium,and stable transfected cell lines were selected using puromycin(1 μg/mL).Cells were stimulated with VB12(20 μg/mL)and HDM(50 μg/mL)for 24 hours.The protein levels of ZO-1,autophagy-related protein 5(ATG5),BECN1 and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3)were detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot.Autophagy in human airway epithelial cells was observed using confocal microscopy.Results Compared with the control group,the expression of ZO-1 in the HDM group was lower(P<0.05),while the expressions of ATG5,BECN1,and LC3 were higher(P<0.05).Compared with the HDM group,the VB12+HDM group showed increased ZO-1 expression(P<0.05),decreased expressions of ATG5,BECN1,and LC3(P<0.01),and reduced autophagosome formation(P<0.05).In ATG5-and BECN1-knockdown cell lines,ZO-1 expression increased after HDM treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion Vb12 can enhance ZO-1 expression in HDM-treated human airway epithelial cells by down-regulating autophagy,and its mechanism is associated with the ATG5 and BECN1 signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of autophagy induced by House dust mites(HDM)on airway epithelial tight junction through β-catenin-Snail signaling pathway.Methods Human bronchial epithelial cells(16HBE)were stimulated with HDM at different time points(0,3,6,12,24,48 h)and different concen-trations(0,40,100,200 μg/mL)to screen the appropriate stimulation concentration and stimulation time.16HBE cells were treated with oxidative stress inhibitor N-acetylcysteine(NAC),autophagy inhibitor 3-methylad-enine(3-MA),HDM,and their combinations.Cells were transfected with mCherry-EGFP-LC3B,Beclin-1-siRNA,and ATG14-siRNA lentivirus and then stimulated with NAC and HDM.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression levels of autophagy-related protein LC3B,tight junction-related proteins Occludin,and ZO-1 in airway epithelial cells.The level of reactive oxygen species(ROS)was detected by using DCFH-DA in each group.The protein expression levels of Occludin,ZO-1,LC3B,Beclin-1,ATG5,ATG14,P62,Snail,β-catenin and p-β-catenin were detected by Western blot method.Results Immunofluorescence results showed that compared with the control group,200 μg/mL HDM stimulation induced cellular autophagy,increased the expression level of LC3B protein,and promoted the level of ROS,all with statistical significances(all P<0.05).Compared with the HDM group,the HDM+3-MA,HDM+ATG14-si,and HDM+Beclin-1-si groupsall showed significantincreases in the expression levels of tight junction-related proteins Occludin and ZO-1(P<0.05).The HDM+NAC group demonstrated significant decreases both in the level of ROS andin the expression level of LC3B protein.Western blot results revealed that compared with HDM,3-MA and autophagy protein low-expression beads(Beclin-1-si,ATG14-si)attenuated HDM-induced cellular autophagy(P<0.05),inhibited HDM-induced upregulation of Snail and p-β-catenin expression,and improved HDM-induced decreases in Occludin and ZO-1(P<0.05).Moreover,compared with the HDM group,the NAC+HDM group exhibited significant decreases both in the conversion of LC3BⅠ to LC3BⅡ(P<0.001)in the protein levels of Snail,p-β-catenin,Beclin-1 and ATG14(P<0.01),but significant increases in the protein levels of Occludin and ZO-1(P<0.05).Conclusion HDM affects the tight connections between airway epithelial cells by inducing autophagy,which may be attributed to the β-catenin-Snail signaling pathway.

Objective:To construct a self-management scheme for osteoporosis related to endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer, so as to provide a reference for clinical nursing intervention.Methods:In the chronic disease self-management domain theory as the instruction, using literature research, the semi-structured interview to build the first draft of the plan, through the expert meeting law to plan to revise the first draft, and form a self-management scheme for osteoporosis related to endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer.Results:A total of 10 experts were included, aged 37-47 (42.70 ± 3.43) years. The recovery rate of the expert questionnaire was 10/10, the expert authority coefficient was 0.93, and the coefficient of variation of each item ranged from 0.06 to 0.19. The final formed self-management scheme for osteoporosis related to endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer includes three intervention modules: self-prevention, self-monitoring, and self-coping. It encompasses six intervention themes: enhancing knowledge reserves, non-pharmacological prevention, pharmacological prevention, risk assessment and self-reporting of symptoms, non-pharmacological intervention, and pharmacological intervention.Conclusions:The construction of the self-management scheme for osteoporosis related to endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer is of great significance. The content of the scheme is scientific, reliable and targeted, which can provide guidance for the self-management of osteoporosis in patients with early breast cancer during endocrine therapy.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor,typically treated with a combination of surgery and chemotherapy in clinical practice.However,the increasing prevalence of chemotherapy resistance poses a significant challenge.Chemotherapy resistance can lead to a sharp decline in patients'survival rates.Traditional Chinese medicine,known for its low cost,wide-ranging efficacy,and diverse varieties,has attracted significant attention from researchers.Their attempts to investigate the sensitizing effect of extracted ingredients on osteosarcoma chemoresistance both in vitro and in vivo have yielded promising results.This review has summarized the studies of single traditional Chinese medicine ingredients on reversing osteosarcoma chemoresistance by the mechanisms of chemoresistance,and found that the current research of the clinical mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in reversing osteosarcoma chemoresistance is still lacking,indicating significant potential for future development.Utilizing the theory of herbal medicine properties as the theoretical basis for ingredient development may provide novel strategies for the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Objective:To evaluate the sample preparation proficiency and storage proficiency of 11 clinical biobanks in Beijing through simulated experiments, and to establish an assessment method for the quality comparability of biological samples.Methods:An exploratory research design was adopted. In November 2023, artificial composite serum quality control materials containing six recombinant human protein markers—recombinant human alanine aminotransferase (rhALT), recombinant human aspartate aminotransferase (rhAST), recombinant human creatine kinase (rhCK), recombinant human creatine kinase-MB (rhCK-MB), recombinant human B-type natriuretic peptide (rhBNP), and recombinant human troponin I (rhTNI)—were distributed to 11 clinical biobanks in Beijing City. Sample preparation and storage followed the standardized operating procedures. Proficiency differences were assessed through statistical analysis.Results:Three-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed all six protein markers showed a declining trend over storage time in ultra-low-temperature environments ( F values 11.68-4 179.66, all P<0.01). However, neither long-term/temporary refrigerator types ( F values 0.01-1.23, all P>0.05)nor placement locations within refrigerators significantly affected the stability of these six proteins ( F valus 0.03-1.47, all P>0.05). The biases in detection results for rhALT, rhAST, rhTNI, and rhBNP at different storage time points were within the allowable bias limits for each item, supporting their use as markers for protein stability in biobank samples. All 11 institutions passed the storage proficiency assessment. In the preparation proficiency assessment, deviations were observed in post-preparation sample results, with a notably high out-of-control rate for rhCK (36.36%). Conclusion:Sample preparation proficiency can serve as a quality control metric for clinical biobanks. Future external quality assessment systems for biobanks should focus on sample preparation rather than storage processes.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of extended-field versus reduced-field radiotherapy in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients after radical operation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 210 UTUC patients who underwent full-length nephrectomy and received postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy in Peking University First Hospital from January 2013 to November 2023, and follow-up continued until June 2024. According to the target area of postoperative radiotherapy, patients were divided into the extended-field radiotherapy group (127 cases) and the reduced-field radiotherapy group (83 cases). The overall survival (OS), distant metastasis free survival (DMFS), local recurrence free survival (LRFS) and adverse reactions were compared. In the same period, 114 patients with recurrent abdominal and pelvic lymph nodes who did not receive adjuvant therapy after surgery for UTUC in our center were prospectively collected, and the coverage of the reduced-field target area was analyzed. Chi square test was used to compare the clinical characteristics, Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival outcomes, log-rank test was used to compare the survival rate, and Cox multivariate regression analysis was performed on the influencing factors of survival.Results:The median follow-up was 24.5 (range: 3-74) months. There were no significant differences between the extended-field and reduced-field radiotherapy groups in terms of 2-year LRFS (93.3% vs. 98.1%, P=0.156), 2-year DMFS (84.8% vs. 91.2%, P=0.176), and 2-year OS (90.4% vs. 90.7%, P=0.707). The most common toxicities of adjuvant radiotherapy were nausea and leukopenia, with significantly higher grade 1-2 incidence in the extended-field group compared to the reduced-field group ( P<0.05). According to the analysis of patients with retroperitoneal lymph node recurrence after surgery, the reduced-field target designed according to the location of the primary tumor can cover more than 90% of the postoperative metastatic lymph node area Multivariate analysis revealed that variant histology ( HR=2.180,95% CI: 1.021-4.658, P=0.044) was an independent predictor of worse DMFS, while variant histology ( HR=3.825,95% CI: 1.514-9.662, P=0.005) and T 3-4 stage ( HR=4.452,95% CI: 1.025-19.339, P=0.046) were independent predictors of poorer OS. Conclusions:Compared with extended-field radiotherapy, reduced-field radiotherapy designed based on primary tumor location significantly reduced treatment-related toxicities without compromising postoperative therapeutic efficacy, and the reduced-field can cover more than 90% of local recurrent lesions.
