Objective:
To explore the association of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep with depressive symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide a reference for improving mental health of middle school students.
Methods:
In accordance with the cluster random sampling method, a total of 18 484 middle school students in Shanghai were surveyed from September to November 2022. Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and sleep duration with depressive symptoms were assessed using the relevant scale items included in the questionnaire of Surveillance for Common Disease and Health Risk Factors among Students. The χ 2 test was used for inter group comparison, Logistic regression analysis and likelihood ratio test were used to analyze the independent and aggregated associations of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet use and insufficient sleep wiht depressive symptoms.
Results:
Self reported rates of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage, insufficient sleep and depressive symptoms among adolescents were 14.7%, 73.5% and 16.3%, respectively. Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage ( OR=2.69, 95%CI =2.44-2.97) and insufficient sleep ( OR=1.76, 95%CI =1.58-1.95) were associated with depressive symptoms ( P <0.05). Compared to middle school students with no tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and sufficient sleep, those with both tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep showed the higher rate of depressive symptoms ( OR=4.71, 95%CI =4.08-5.44, P <0.05). Further stratified analysis results showed that, compared to the boys and the high school students, the separate and joint association of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep with depressive symptoms were more pronounced in the girls and the middle school students [ OR (95% CI ) for tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage were 3.09 (2.68-3.56) and 4.74 (3.86-5.83), respectively; OR (95% CI ) for insufficient sleep were 1.86 (1.60-2.17) and 2.00 (1.58-2.53), respectively; and the OR (95% CI ) for the joint association were 6.05 (5.01-7.31) and 9.15 (6.98-11.99), respectively, P <0.05].
Conclusions
Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep are associated with depressive symptoms in middle school students. Prevention and control strategies for adolescent mental health should be developed with consideration of health related behaviors, and also need to be tailored by focusing on gender and grade differences.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effect and the possible mechanism of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts. METHODS The heart of neonatal SD rats was collected, and cardiac fibroblasts were separated with differential centrifugation. Using sodium hydrosulfide as the donor of H2S, the effects of H2S on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), hydroxyproline content and the expression of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) protein were detected. After SIRT3 knockdown with siRNA technology, the effects of H2S on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by Ang Ⅱ, hydroxyproline content, the expressions of collagen Ⅰ (Col Ⅰ), collagen Ⅲ (Col Ⅲ ) and optic atrophy protein 1 (OPA1) were detected. RESULTS H2S could inhibit the proliferation of Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiac fibroblasts, reduce the content of hydroxyproline and increase the expression of SIRT3 (P<0.05). After down-regulating the expression of SIRT3 with siRNA technology, the inhibition of H2S on the proliferation of Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiac fibroblasts and the reduction of hydroxyproline content were both inhibited, and the effect of H2S on reducing the expression of Col Ⅰ and Col Ⅲ and enhancing the expression of OPA1 was also significantly weakened. CONCLUSIONS H2S inhibits the proliferation of Ang Ⅱ -induced cardiac fibroblasts through increasing the expression of SIRT3.

With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing aging population, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases has sharply risen, making it the leading cause of death and a major "killer" for humans. The prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases still face severe challenges. Shenmai injection (SMI), a Chinese medicinal preparation, is widely used in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases because of its individualized advantages in syndrome differentiation and definite efficacy. Meanwhile, its pharmacological effects and related mechanism are becoming increasingly clear. Modern research shows that SMI can exert cardioprotective effects by reducing myocardial inflammatory response, alleviating oxidative stress, inhibiting myocardial cell apoptosis, improving microcirculatory dysfunction after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion, protecting mitochondrial structure and function, inhibiting ventricular remodeling, reducing drug-induced cardiotoxicity, and possessing antiviral properties. Additionally, it can produce cardiovascular protection by relaxing blood vessels, protecting endothelial cells, and promoting angiogenesis. Furthermore, SMI can lower blood viscosity and lipid levels, thus improving blood rheology. In the future, more clinical trials and basic research are needed to clarify its therapeutic efficacy and target mechanism to further confirm the effectiveness and safety of its clinical application.

Internuclear ophthalmoplegia mainly affects the horizontal movement disorder of the eyeball. "One and a half syndrome" is characterized by a combination of one eyeball on the affected side cannot be adducted and abducted, and the other eyeball cannot be adducted, but can be abducted accompanied by horizontal nystagmus due to the lesion of tegmental pontine. At present, articles have successively reported "eight and a half syndromes""nine syndromes""thirteen and a half syndromes" and so on. The rapid identification of "one and a half syndrome" spectrum is helpful for clinicians to make right positioning and clinical decision-making. A case of bilateral peripheral facial paralysis with bilaterally horizontal gaze palsy caused by pontine dorsal tegmental lesions is now reported, so as to improve the understanding of the anatomical location and heterogeneity of pontine lesion.

Recent advancement in natural language processing (NLP) and medical imaging empowers the wide applicability of deep learning models. These developments have increased not only data understanding, but also knowledge of state-of-the-art architectures and their real-world potentials. Medical imaging researchers have recognized the limitations of only targeting images, as well as the importance of integrating multimodal inputs into medical image analysis. The lack of comprehensive surveys of the current literature, however, impedes the progress of this domain. Existing research perspectives, as well as the architectures, tasks, datasets, and performance measures examined in the present literature, are reviewed in this work, and we also provide a brief description of possible future directions in the field, aiming to provide researchers and healthcare professionals with a detailed summary of existing academic research and to provide rational insights to facilitate future research.

Objective To explore the association of TBX 5 polymorphisms and environmental exposure index with susceptibility to oral cancer. Methods A case?control study was conducted to collect 300 oral cancer patients hospitalized in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from September 2010 to December 2016. A total of 445 non?tumor patients were selected as the control group. Questionnaires were used to collect the information of all subjects and 5 ml peripheral blood was collected to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the rs10492336 locus of TBX5 gene. According to the environmental exposure index score, subjects were divided into two groups, low risk group (0-2.31) and high risk group (2.32-11.76). To analyze the association of TBX5 gene rs10492336 SNPs, environmental exposure index and oral cancer and its interactions. Results The age of all subjects in the case group and control group were (56.19±13.10) years and (54.56± 12.48) years old. Compared with CC genotype, the OR (95%CI) values of the co?dominant genetic model AC genotype and the dominant genetic model AC+AA genotype were 0.69 (0.49-0.98) and 0.70 (0.51-0.97), respectively. Compared with the low risk group, the OR (95%CI) risk of oral cancer in the high risk group was 3.72 (2.55-5.43). The results of gene?environment interaction analysis showed that compared with the group with CC genotype and high risk of environmental exposure index, the OR (95%CI) value of oral cancer in the group with AC+AA genotype and low risk of environmental exposure index was 0.18(0.10-0.31). Furthermore there was a multiplicative interaction between rs10492336 SNPs and environmental exposure index (β=-0.405, P<0.001). Conclusion This study suggests that the TBX 5 gene rs10492336 SNPs and environmental exposure index were associated with oral cancer. And there was a multiplication interaction between rs10492336 SNPs and environmental exposure index.
