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）］

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.

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa,accounting for more than 90％of oropharyngeal malignancies.In recent years,human papillomavirus(HPV)infec-tion has become one of the primary etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma.The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyn-geal squamous carcinoma has been rising annually,with a noticeable trend toward younger populations,posing a significant threat to hu-man health.Due to the distinct biological behavior and clinical characteristics of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma com-pared to its non-HPV-related counterpart,the diagnostic and treatment strategies for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma have undergone substantial changes.Prevention and screening for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma are of critical importance.The diagnostic and treat-ment process involves multi-disciplinary collaboration,including oral and maxillofacial surgery,otolaryngology,head and neck surgery,oncology,radiology and pathology.Based on evidence from clinical practice,a comprehensive,integrated diagnostic and therapeutic ap-proach has been established,centered around the concept of"prevention,screening,diagnosis,treatment,and rehabilitation",covering the entire patient lifecycle and providing a valuable reference for clinical practice.

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.

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.

Aim To evaluate the continuous flow exposure sys-tem at the air-liquid interface(ALI)in vitro to provide reference data for in vitro studies on inhalation toxicology,and to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the inhalation toxicity of the com-pound limonene by using the system in conjunction with an ALI culture model of Calu-3 cells.Methods Fluorescein sodium(Na-flu)dosimetry supplemented with quartz microbalance(QCM)was used to evaluate the deposition volume and pore-to-pore homogeneity of the ALI continuous flow exposure system;limonene aerosol was exposed to an ALI-cultured model of Calu-3 cells for 3 h using the ALI continuous flow exposure system at exposure doses of high(0.213 μg·cm-2),medium(0.104μg·cm-2),low(0.064 5 μg·cm-2),clean air exposure was used as a negative control group,and the activity,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)release,trans-epithelial electrical resist-ance(TEER),mucin MUC5AC and inflammatory factor gene expression of the exposed cells were detected after 24 h to evalu-ate the inhalation toxicity of limonene.Results The deposition of sodium fluorescein in the ALI continuous flow exposure system was 0.085±0.007 μg/30 min/well,and inter-well homogeneity was optimized from the initial 26％to less than 10％after sever-al debugging sessions;compared with the control group,there was no significant change in cellular activity and IL-8 gene ex-pression,but cellular IL-6 gene expression increased after limo-nene aerosol exposure;the mid-exposure dose of limonene pro-moted cellular release of LDH and inflammatory factor gene ex-pression.The medium exposure dose of limonene induced the cells to release LDH＞10％and decreased the expression of cel-lular tumor necrosis factor TNF-α gene;the high exposure dose of limonene decreased the cellular TEER value,impaired the cellular barrier function,and increased the expression of cellular mucin MUC5AC gene.Conclusions The ALI continuous flow exposure system can be used for inhalation toxicity in vitro stud-ies after commissioning;high and medium exposure doses of limonene are inhalation toxic.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is one of the most common issues among trauma patients.Treatment strategies for PNI typically involve surgical repair,rehabilitation therapy and medication management,but may still not achieve the expected therapeutic outcome. Following nerve injury,Schwann cells clear cellular debris,release growth-promoting factors and provide guidance support that promotes the regrowth of damaged nerve fibersand its reconnection to target tissues. The release of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) to the injury site after PNI can induce the transformation of astrocytes to an A2 phenotype,thereby upregulating the expression of neurotrophic factors. Meanwhile,TGF-β can initiate a series of phenotypic changes in Schwann cells,modulate immune cells,and activate the innate growth potential of neurons,thereby enhancing nerve regeneration potential. TGF-β can also promote angiogenesis,maintain the integrity of the blood-nerve barrier and enhance its permeability,thereby providing a beneficial microenvironment for nerve regeneration by inhibiting inflammation. This paper reviews the potential roles of TGF-β in peripheral nerve regeneration and investigates the underlying mechanisms,in order to provide new insights for better treatment of PNI.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

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.
