BackgroundWith the rapid development of the networking technologies， internet addiction has increasingly become a serious mental health issue. Previous studies have revealed the link between childhood trauma and internet addiction， while the mediating role of perceived stress in this link is not yet clear. ObjectiveTo investigate the role of medical students' perceived stress in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet addiction， so as to provide references for the intervention of internet addiction. MethodsFrom February to March 2023， a random sampling technique was used to select 1 232 undergraduate students from the School of Clinical Medical Sciences of Southwest Medical University as research subjects. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form （CTQ-SF）， Perceived Stress Scale （PSS）， Internet Gaming Disorder Scale （IGDS）， and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale （BSMAS） were used for assessment. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated. The mediation effect of perceived stress in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet addiction was tested using Model 4 in the SPSS Process 4.1， and Bootstrapping procedure involving 5 000 replicates was employed to confirm the statistical significance. ResultsA total of 1 016 （82.47%） valid completed questionnaires were gathered. The CTQ-SF scores of medical students were positively correlated with PSS scores， IGD scores， and BSMAS scores （r=0.583， 0.474， 0.465， P<0.01）. PSS scores were positively correlated with IGD scores and BSMAS scores （r=0.369， 0.479， P<0.01）. Childhood trauma in medical students was found to positively predict perceived stress （β=0.191， P<0.01）， social media addiction （β=0.160， P<0.01）， and internet gaming disorder （β=0.106， P<0.01）. Perceived stress played a significant mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet gaming disorder， indirect effect value was 0.018 （95% CI： 0.009~0.027）， accounting for 16.98%. Perceived stress also exhibited a significant mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and social media addiction， indirect effect value was 0.063 （95% CI： 0.048~0.079）， accounting for 39.38%. ConclusionChildhood trauma in medical students may affect internet gaming disorder and social media addiction through perceived stress. ［Funded by 2022 Annual Research Project of Sichuan Applied Psychology Research Center，（number，CSXL-22102）］

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

Sishen Pills is a classic prescription for the treatment of spleen and kidney diarrhea,which has the effect of warming the kidney and the spleen,astringent intestine and antidiarrheal.In modern clinical application,the modified prescriptions based on Sishen Pills,combined with other treatments of TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine are often used to treat ulcerative colitis with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome,and the curative effect is remarkable.Experimental pharmacological studies have shown that Sishen Pills may achieve the purpose of ulcerative colitis by regulating the expression of related signaling pathway proteins,regulating inflammatory factors,inhibiting inflammatory response,regulating autophagy,regulating intestinal flora,improving intestinal mucosal permeability,repairing intestinal mucosal barrier,regulating cellular energy metabolism,anti-oxidative stress,regulating cellular immune function,etc.In this article,the research status of Sishen Pills in the treatment of ulcerative colitis was sorted out and summarized,in order to provide reference for further study of its mechanism and clinical application.

Pathological mechanism of ulcerative colitis(UC)is not fully clear,which may be the result of Th17/Treg immune imbalance and the interaction of multiple complex factors.Numerous studies have found that classical TCM prescriptions,experienced formulas and TCM active components could regulate Th17/Treg balance by intervening in cytokines,transcription factors,and signaling pathways,restore intestinal mucosal immune function,suppress intestinal mucosal inflammatory response,and repair intestinal mucosal barrier damage.Based on the research status of UC,Th17/Treg balance and TCM treatment,this article reviewed the relationship between Th17/Treg balance and UC,and explained the key role of Th17/Treg balance in the occurrence and development of UC.At the same time,the Chinese materia medica targeting to regulate the balance of Th17/Treg in the treatment of UC in recent years was summarized,in order to provide reference for the treatment of UC.

Objective: Self-determination theory (SDT) deems that people have three causality orientations: autonomy orientation, control orientation, and impersonal orientation. Previous studies suggested that lower autonomy orientation or higher control and impersonal orientations may be associated with more addictive behaviors. Our study aimed to investigate if these associations exist in Internet gaming disorder (IGD), and if sensation seeking, anxiety, and depression could influence the associations between causality orientations and IGD symptoms. Methods: A total of 1,400 college students completed the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale, General Causality Orientation Scale, Brief Sensation Seeking Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire. Correlation, multiple linear regressions, structural equation model (SEM) analyses, and moderation analyses were conducted to explore the associations. Results: The control and impersonal orientations were positively associated with IGD symptoms, while the autonomy orientation was negatively associated with them. Moreover, SEM analyses showed that the autonomy-IGD relationship was totally mediated by anxiety and depression, the impersonal-IGD relationship was partially mediated by anxiety, and the control-IGD relationship was partially mediated by depression. Finally, the effects of causality orientations on IGD were moderated by sensation seeking. Conclusion Overall, autonomy orientation is linked to fewer gaming problems, whereas control and impersonal orientations are associated with more gaming problems. Moreover, the relationships between causality orientations and IGD symptoms are mediated by anxiety and depression and moderated by sensation seeking. Our findings inform theory on the motivations of gaming behaviors and may shed light on the prevention and intervention of IGD from the perspective of SDT.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the prognosis and influencing factors of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to late stent thrombosis (LST) and very late stent thrombosis (VLST). METHODS: Patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI caused by LST and VLST at Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and long-term follow-up was conducted. The baseline clinical features, laboratory examination indicators, echocardiography results, coronary angiography and intervention treatment characteristics, and antiplatelet treatment status of patients were collected. The study endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), including all-cause mortality, target vessel revascularization (TVR), myocardial infarction, and recurrent stent thrombosis (RST). Patients were divided into MACE group and non-MACE group based on the occurrence of MACE. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the univariate and multivariate predictive factors for MACE occurrence in STEMI patients caused by LST and VLST during long-term follow-up after PCI. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to analyze the cumulative survival rate without MACE during follow-up in subgroups of patients with different levels of fibrinogen (Fib) and initial number of stents. The incidence of MACE among patients receiving different drug-eluting stent (DES) treatments was compared. RESULTS: A total of 418 patients diagnosed STEMI caused by LST and VLST through coronary angiography were enrolled, of which 115 had MACE and 303 did not. Among them, 404 cases (96.65%) completed follow-up, with a median follow-up time of 27.25 (18.00, 37.00) months. Cox regression analysis showed that Fib [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.840, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.329-6.066, P = 0.007], non-culprit vascular stenosis > 50% (HR = 5.974, 95%CI was 1.634-21.848, P = 0.007), initial stent quantity (HR = 3.314, 95%CI was 1.677-6.552, P = 0.001), B2/C lesions (HR = 5.463, 95%CI was 1.396-21.373, P = 0.015), and cardiogenic shock (HR = 4.141, 95%CI was 1.101-15.568, P = 0.035) were independently associated with the occurrence of MACE. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the higher the Fib level, the lower the cumulative survival rate without MACE (82.8%, 70.1%, 40.5%, P < 0.01); the more initial stents, the lower the cumulative survival rate without MACE (75.0%, 57.7%, 36.5%), with patients with initial stents ≥ 3 having the lowest cumulative survival rate without MACE (P < 0.001). A total of 210 patients (50.2%) received secondary stent treatment, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE between patients receiving first and second generation DES treatment (27.3% vs. 24.7%, P > 0.05), but patients receiving first generation DES had a higher proportion of all-cause mortality (22.3% vs. 10.1%, P < 0.05). Compared with patients receiving smaller diameter DES treatment (< 2.75 mm), patients receiving larger diameter DES treatment (≥2.75 mm) had a significantly lower incidence of MACE (20.5% vs. 35.9%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Long-term clinical outcomes after PCI for STEMI due to LST and VLST are unfavorable, with a high rate of MACE. The treatment of this particular type STEMI remains challenging, re-implantation of second generation DES or a larger diameter DES (≥2.75 mm) may be beneficial.
