BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behavior among adolescents has become a global public health concern. Anxiety and depression are considered key factors influencing NSSI behavior， while social support may play a protective role in alleviating emotional and behavioral issues. However， existing research has primarily focused on the direct impact of individual factors on NSSI behavior， with insufficient exploration of the combined effects of anxiety， depression and social support. ObjectiveTo investigate the direct effect of anxiety on NSSI， the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of social support in relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior， thus to provide references for the prevention and intervention of NSSI behavior among adolescents. MethodsIn February 2022， a total of 40 820 students in grades 7 to 12 across 10 middle schools in a district of Chengdu were selected as participants， and they were assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item （GAD-7）， Patient's Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， Social Support Scale for Urban Students （SSSUS） and Adolescent Self-Harm Scale （ASHS）. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations between scale scores among adolescents with NSSI behaviors. Mediation and moderation analyses were performed using Process 3.5 in SPSS， and the significance was tested with bootstrapping. The interaction was visualized by using simple slope analysis. ResultsAmong 34 534 （84.60%） valid respondents， 542 adolescents （1.57%） reported engaging in NSSI behavior. Significant differences in gender， GAD-7 scores， PHQ-9 scores， and SSSUS scores were observed between NSSI behavior group and non-NSSI group （χ²/t=62.889， 71.120， 94.365， -41.464， P<0.01）.Adolesents with NSSI showed positive correlations between GAD-7 scores and both ASHS and PHQ-9 scores （r=0.158， 0.166， P<0.01）. PHQ-9 scores were positively correlated with ASHS scores （r=0.364， P<0.01）， but negatively correlated with SSSUS scores （r=-0.290， P<0.01）. SSSUS scores were negatively correlated with ASHS scores （r=-0.247， P<0.01）. Depression partially mediated the relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior， with an effect size of 0.544 （95% CI： 0.162~0.944）， accounting for 35.79% of the total effect. Social support moderated the relationship between depression and NSSI bahavior， with an effect value of -0.082 （95% CI： -0.135~-0.029）. ConclusionAnxiety not only directly influences NSSI bahavior among adolescents， also indirectly exacerbates it through depression， while social support mitigates the impact of depression on NSSI behavior. ［Funded by Youth Project of National Natural Science Foundation of China （number， 82401812）； Project of Health Commission of Sichuan Province （number， 24LCYJPT18）］

Objective Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a common complication of radiotherapy for the head and neck tumors, and the current treatment methods are limited. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as a non-invasive neural regulation technique, has shown great potential in neuroprotection. However, the parameter selection and biological safety of rTMS in the prevention and treatment of RIBI have not been reported. Methods Using a mouse model of RIBI, this study employed three rTMS frequencies (5, 10, and 25 Hz) for intervention. Biochemical and pathological assays were conducted to identify the optimal stimulation parameter. Subsequently, this parameter was used to evaluate the biological safety in normal mice. Results Under the conditions of this experiment, rTMS interventions with all three frequencies could reduce the levels of serum brain injury markers (NSE and S100B) and inflammatory factors in mice (P < 0.001), and alleviate the morphological and structural damage of hippocampal tissue. The 10 Hz rTMS could significantly promote hippocampal neurogenesis in RIBI mice (P < 0.05). Furthermore, 10 Hz rTMS showed no significant effects on the cognitive function and mood of normal mice. The intervention did not significantly change the morphology and structure of the main organs, blood biochemical indicators, and the level of hippocampal neurogenesis in mice. Conclusion The 10 Hz rTMS is optimal for the prevention and treatment of RIBI with high biological safety.

BackgroundThe distressingly high prevalence of depressive symptoms among adolescents exerts profound impacts on their physical and psychological development， urgently necessitating effective preventive interventions. Existing studies， however， have predominantly focused on isolated risk factors， neglecting to construct an integrated model that systematically disentangles the intricate relationships linking parenting styles， learning burnout， and childhood trauma to adolescent depressive symptoms. Moreover， the potential protective roles of social support and psychological resilience in this context remain insufficiently elucidated. ObjectiveTo construct a structural equation model encompassing multiple pathways to unravel the comprehensive mechanisms through which negative parenting styles， childhood trauma， learning burnout， psychological resilience， and social support collectively influence adolescent depressive symptoms， thereby providing evidence-based intervention strategies. MethodsA stratified sampling technique was utilized to recruit 5 865 students from 12 middle schools in Chengdu City， Sichuan Province from March to May 2022. Participants were assessed using the following validated instruments： the Short-form Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran （s-EMBU）， the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form （CTQ-SF）， the Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory， the Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， the Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS），and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC）. A partial least squares structural equation modeling （PLS-SEM） approach was employed to construct a predictive framework examining the complex network of pathways through which negative parenting styles， childhood trauma， learning burnout， psychological resilience，and social support collectively influence depressive symptoms in adolescents. ResultsThe PHQ-9 scores demonstrated significant positive correlations with the scores on s-EMBU overprotection subscale （r=0.272， P<0.01）， s-EMBU rejection subscale （r=0.368， P<0.01）， CTQ-SF （r=0.288， P<0.01） and Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory （r=0.587， P<0.01）. Conversely， significant negative correlations were observed between PHQ-9 scores and both SSRS （r=-0.532， P<0.01） and CD-RISC scores （r=-0.418， P<0.01）. Negative parenting styles （β=0.113， 95% CI： 0.087-0.138） and learning burnout （β=0.339， 95% CI： 0.315-0.364） emerged as significant positive predictors of depressive symptoms， with childhood trauma mediating the relationship between negative parenting styles and depressive symptoms （effect size=0.018， 95% CI： 0.013-0.024）. Social support servesed as a mediating pathway between negative parenting styles and depressive symptoms （β=0.080， 95% CI： 0.069-0.092）， as well as between negative parenting styles and childhood trauma （β=0.041， 95% CI： 0.032-0.050）. It also functioned as an intermediary pathway linking learning burnout to depressive symptoms （β=0.092， 95% CI： 0.081-0.104） and connecting learning burnout with childhood trauma （β=0.048， 95% CI： 0.037-0.058）. Additionally， psychological resilience serveed as a mediating pathway between negative parenting styles and depressive symptoms （β=0.004， 95% CI： 0.002-0.007）， between learning burnout and depressive symptoms （β=0.037， 95% CI： 0.023-0.052）， and between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms （β=0.003， 95% CI： 0.001-0.006）. ConclusionLearning burnout exerts a direct effect on adolescent depressive symptoms. Negative parenting styles influence depressive symptoms both directly and indirectly through childhood trauma. Furthermore， social support and psychological resilience serve as mediator linking negative parenting styles and learning burnout to depressive symptoms in adolescents. ［Funded by Science and Technology Project of the Health Commission of Sichuan Province （number， 24LCYJPT18）］

【Objective】 To investigate the protective effects of aflexible sleeve penile protection device on reducing postoperative pain and wound edema in patients after circumcision. 【Methods】 A total of 54 patients who underwent circumcision at Yan’an Branch of Peking University Third Hospital during Feb.1 and May 31, 2023 were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group, with 27 patients in either groups.Patients in the experimental group were treated with a flexible sleeve penis protection device after surgery, and patients in the control group were treated with traditional gauze bandage after surgery.Postoperative pain, wound edema and complications were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 In terms of pain, the visual analogue scale of the experimental group was significantly lower at 6 hours [(1.7±0.9) vs.(3.3±1.9), P<0.001] and 2 days [(2.0±1.3) vs.(3.3±1.3), P<0.001] after surgery than that of the control group, but there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups on the 4th and 7th postoperative days (P>0.05).In terms of edema, the edema score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group on the 2nd postoperative day [(2.0±1.0) vs.(4.0±0.8), P<0.001] , the 4th postoperative day [(1.5±1.2) vs.(2.6±0.9), P<0.001] , and the 7th postoperative day [(0.9±1.3) vs.(2.3±1.5), P<0.001] .There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The flexible sleeve penile protection device has significant effects of reducing early postoperative pain and reducing edema in patients undergoing circumcision.

Objective:To investigate the concern about pollen broadcasting in Chinese population from multiple dimensions and to understand the information about allergic rhinitis (AR) in China by analyzing related factors.Methods:From March 1 to September 30, 2022, a large-scale multi-center cross-sectional survey was conducted based on the Questionnaire Star platform in 21 Chinese hospitals. A total of 7 056 subjects from 7 regions in China: Northeast, North, East, Central, South, Southwest, and Northwest China were included. Basic characteristics (including social demographic characteristics and disease characteristics of AR patients), concern about pollen broadcasting, the willingness of pollen-induced AR (PiAR) patients to receive pollen broadcasting, and the treatment satisfaction rate of AR patients were collected. The chi-square test, multivariate linear regression model, and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the concern about pollen broadcasting in the Chinese population and related factors from multiple dimensions.Results:Among 7 056 subjects, 23.02% were concerned about pollen broadcasting. Among 3 176 self-reported AR and 1 019 PiAR patients, 25.60% and 39.16% were concerned about pollen broadcasting, respectively, which was higher than that of non-AR or non-PiAR subjects ( χ2 value was 21.74 and 175.11, respectively, both P<0.001). Among AR patients, the proportion of spring and autumn allergen-positive patients concerned about pollen broadcasting was higher than that in perennial allergen-positive patients ( χ2 value was 20.90 and 19.51, respectively, both P<0.001). The proportion of AR patients with asthma, sinusitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was higher than those without complications ( χ2 value was 50.83, 21.97, 56.78, 7.62, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of AR patients in North China who could find pollen broadcasting locally was 31.01%, significantly higher than those in other regions (all P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression model analysis showed that among PiAR patients, those with higher per capita household income and higher AR disease cognition levels had been concerned about pollen broadcasting in the past, and those complicated with allergic conjunctivitis had stronger intention to receive pollen broadcasting (B value was 0.24, 0.13, 0.66, 0.47, respectively, all P<0.05). The higher the disease cognition level of PiAR patients, the stronger their willingness to actively participate in treatment ( R2=0.72, P<0.001). Only 18.89% of AR patients felt satisfied with the treatment effect. Logistic regression analysis showed that in AR patients, the treatment satisfaction rate was significantly higher among those concerned about pollen broadcasting compared to those who were not ( OR=1.83, P<0.001). Conclusions:Currently, the dissemination of pollen broadcasting in China is hindered by various factors such as disease cognition level. The treatment satisfaction among AR patients remains unsatisfactory.

Objective:To predict the 3-year cancer-specific survival(CSS)of patients with non-meta-static T3a renal cell carcinoma after surgery.Methods:A total of 336 patients with pathologically con-firmed T3a N0-1M0 renal cell carcinoma(RCC)who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Urology,Peking University Third Hospital from March 2013 to February 2021 were retrospectively collect-ed.The patients were randomly divided into a training cohort of 268 cases and an internal validation co-hort of 68 cases at an 4∶1 ratio.Using two-way Lasso regression,variables were selected to construct a nomogram for predicting the 3-year cancer-specific survival(CSS)of the patients with T3aN0-1M0 RCC.Performance assessment of the nomogram included evaluation of discrimination and calibration ability,as well as clinical utility using measures such as the concordance index(C-index),time-dependent area un-der the receiver operating characteristic curve[time-dependent area under the curve(AUC)],calibra-tion curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Risk stratification was determined based on the nomo-gram scores,and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank tests were employed to compare progres-sion-free survival(PFS)and cancer-specific survival(CSS)among the patients in the different risk groups.Results:Based on the Lasso regression screening results,the nomogram was constructed with five variables:tumor maximum diameter,histological grading,sarcomatoid differentiation,T3a feature,and lymph node metastasis.The baseline data of the training and validation sets showed no statistical differences(P＞0.05).The consistency indices of the column diagram were found to be 0.808(0.708-0.907)and 0.903(0.838-0.969)for the training and internal validation sets,respectively.The AUC values for 3-year cancer-specific survival were 0.843(0.725-0.961)and 0.923(0.844-1.002)for the two sets.Calibration curves of both sets demonstrated a high level of consistency between the actual CSS and predicted probability.The decision curve analysis(DCA)curves indicated that the column dia-gram had a favorable net benefit in clinical practice.A total of 336 patients were included in the study,with 35 cancer-specific deaths and 69 postoperative recurrences.According to the line chart,the patients were divided into low-risk group(scoring 0-117)and high-risk group(scoring 119-284).Within the low-risk group,there were 16 tumor-specific deaths out of 282 cases and 36 postoperative recurrences out of 282 cases.In the high-risk group,there were 19 tumor-specific deaths out of 54 cases and 33 post-operative recurrences out of 54 cases.There were significant differences in progression-free survival(PFS)and cancer-specific survival(CSS)between the low-risk and high-risk groups(P＜0.000 1).Conclusion:A nomogram model predicting the 3-year CSS of non-metastatic T3a renal cell carcinoma patients was successfully constructed and validated in this study.This nomogram can assist clinicians in accurately assessing the long-term prognosis of such patients.
