Objective: To explore the relationship between non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior and serum lipid levels as well as thyroid function among college students with depression. Methods: A total of 169 college students with depression in the psychiatry departments of tertiary hospitals (grade 3A and 3B) in Ningbo from December 2023 to April 2025 were selected. The Adolescent Self injury Scale (ASIS) was used to assess the presence of NSSI, and participants were accordingly divided into a NSSI group ( n =51) and a non NSSI group ( n =118). General demographic data (including gender, age, and family situation) were collected from both groups. Blood tests were performed to measure lipid profiles [triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)] and thyroid hormones [triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)]. Multivariate Logistic regression was employed to analyze risk factors for NSSI, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum lipid and thyroid hormone levels for NSSI occurrence in college students with depression. Results: The levels of TC, LDL-C, and TSH in the NSSI group were (4.02±0.73) mmol/L, (2.32±0.36) mmol/L, and (6.57±1.95) mU/L , which were significantly higher than those in the non NSSI group [(3.41±0.56) mmol/L, (2.00±0.27) mmol/L, and ( 4.48± 1.09) mU/L, respectively] ( t =5.32, 5.60, 7.20, all P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that college students from single parent/reconstituted families, those who had experienced school bullying, and those with higher levels of TC, LDL-C, and TSH had a significantly increased risk of engaging in NSSI ( OR =5.22, 6.12, 5.90, 83.64, 3.64, all P <0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of TC, LDL-C, and TSH had high diagnostic efficacy for predicting NSSI in college students with depression, with a sensitivity of 86.3% and a specificity of 94.9%. Conclusions NSSI behavior in college students with depression is associated with serum lipid levels and thyroid function. These biomarkers may serve as useful reference indicators for assessing the conditions of these patients.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and safety of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and collagen stimulators (PCL/PLLA) for various facial aesthetic indications.Methods:This study focused on facial fillers approved and widely used in China, including HA fillers such as Juvéderm?, Restylane?, Belotero?, Fillmed?, and PCL/PLLA such as Ellansé?, L?viselle?, and CureWhite?. A systematic literature search was conducted across both English and Chinese databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang Data, covering the period from database inception to August 24, 2023, to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The characteristics and outcomes of the included RCTs were summarized and analyzed, including efficacy indicators by injection site, patient satisfaction, and safety profiles. Network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed using R software to compare efficacy outcomes, including the 6-month improvement response rate for nasolabial folds (NLF) and the global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS).Results:A total of 38 articles were included. Among them, Juvéderm? was most frequently used as the treatment group (17 out of 38 articles), while Restylane? was the most common comparator (17 out of 38 articles), particularly in studies involving NLF injections (15 out of 16 articles). For collagen stimulators, only 2 studies on Ellansé? were included, both focusing solely on NLF treatment. Quality assessment showed that 34 studies were of medium to high quality, with Juvéderm? accounting for the majority of high-quality studies (11 articles). Based on injection sites, NLF was the most studied area (16 articles), followed by the midface (8 articles), and the remaining 14 articles covered other regions including lips, nose, chin, and infraorbital area. In the NLF region, the 6-month improvement response rate assessed by blinded investigators showed that Juvéderm? showed better outcomes than Restylane? ( RR=1.07, 95% CI: 0.89-1.32), while Belotero? was slightly inferior to Restylane? ( RR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.65-1.44), although the differences were not statistically significant. Subject-reported outcomes showed consistent trends with investigator assessments. For 6-month GAIS improvement, Juvéderm? and Restylane? showed comparable result within the HA filler category ( RR=1.01, 95% CI: 0.71-1.43). The collagen stimulator Ellansé? demonstrated numerically higher values than HA fillers ( RR=1.32, 95% CI: 0.86-2.08). However, none of these differences reached statistical significance. In midface treatments, Juvéderm? had more long-term evidence, with follow-up periods extending up to 24 months. Four studies reported numerically greater volume enhancement with Juvéderm? compared to Restylane?. For other facial areas, Juvéderm? had the most comprehensive clinical evidence, covering the widest range of injection sites. No relevant RCTs were available for collagen stimulators in these regions. Regarding patient satisfaction, 19 studies reported patient-reported outcomes, with Juvéderm? contributing 16 of them, and showing higher satisfaction in 6 head-to-head comparisons with Restylane?. In contrast, collagen stimulators currently lack such evidence. Safety result indicated that HA fillers were generally safe and well tolerated, while safety data for collagen stimulators remain limited due to insufficient high-quality evidence. Conclusion:Among the HA fillers, Juvéderm? has a large quantity and highest quality of clinical studies, and NMA result shows its superior efficacy in NLF. In comparison, the current evidence is still not sufficient to draw a clear conclusion for the PCL/PLLA due to a lack of adequate high-quality clinical evidence regarding its clinical efficacy, PROs, and safety.

Objective·To explore the metabolic profiling and metabolic reprogramming patterns of lung cancer cells with acquired resistance to sotorasib,a specific inhibitor to KRAS.Methods·The H2122 and H358 lung cancer cell models with acquired resistance to sotorasib(H2122-SR and H358-SR cells)were established and validated by CCK-8 assay.Ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTOF/MS)was employed to acquire the metabolic profiling of the resistant lung cancer cells and their homologous parental cells.Untargeted metabolomics studies and metabolic characterizations were conducted with multi-dimensional methods,including principal component analysis(PCA)and partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),to identify differential metabolites associated with acquired resistance to sotorasib.Then these differential metabolites were subjected to pathway enrichment analysis.Heatmap analysis was used to compare the changes in metabolites in major differential metabolic pathways between the resistant and parental cells.Results·The cell models of H2122 and H358 with acquired resistance were successfully constructed,with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations(IC50)of sotorasib being 50 times higher than those of the parental cells.Besides,the metabolic profiling was significantly different between the resistant and parental cells.A total of 48 differential metabolites were identified between H2122-SR and H2122 cells.The top 10 differential metabolites,ranked by VIP values,were uridine,xanthylic acid,indole-3-carboxylic acid,nicotinic acid,xanthosine,xanthine,N-methylnicotinamide,hypoxanthine,trigonelline,and galactonic acid.Between H358-SR and H358 cells,a total of 79 differential metabolites were identified.The top 10 differential metabolites,ranked by VIP values,were glutathione,xanthosine,2-ketoglutaric acid,carboxyethyl lysine,thymidine,purine,riboflavin,3-indoleacrylic acid,indole-3-pyruvic acid,and dihydrouracil.The differential metabolites in the two lung cancer cell lines mainly participated in purine metabolism and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis,and purine metabolism was the most significantly altered metabolic pathway.Heatmap analysis showed that many metabolites in the purine metabolism were elevated in the sotorasib-resistant cells.Conclusion·The lung cancer cells with acquired resistance to sotorasib show enhanced purine metabolism.

Objective To establish a finite element model of thoracolumbar kyphosis(TLK)for young patients with idiopathic Scheuermann's disease(SD),validate its effectiveness,and perform fi-nite element analysis to identify biomechanical factors contributing to low back pain caused by SD.Methods One TLK patient(26 years old)and one healthy(30 years old)subject were recruited.Spi-nal DICOM data were reconstructed three-dimensionally using Mimics software.Surface repair and fit-ting were performed in Geomagic Studio 2017,followed by modeling of intervertebral discs and end-plates in 3-matic software.Volume meshing and ligament construction were completed in Hypermesh 2017.Static simulations of the T8-S1 spinal segments for both groups were conducted in ANSYS.Af-ter validating the model using mechanical data,stress and strain distributions across vertebral bodies,intervertebral discs,and facet joint cartilage were calculated under identical constraints and loads.Re-sults 1)Significant differences were observed between the TLK patient and healthy subject in the me-chanical distribution of the T8-S1 segments of the spine.The healthy spine exhibited a peak strain of 1.62 mm,while the TLK patient showed a peak strain of 6.97 mm,330.2%higher than the former.Moreover,the peak stress in the TLK patient(10.51 MPa)exceeded the healthy subject(9.07 MPa)by 16.0%.2)Both groups demonstrated peak vertebral stress at the L5 level(9.07 MPa in the healthy individual vs.10.51 MPa in the TLK patient,15.8%higher).Stress distribution in the TLK patient was markedly uneven,with significant concentrations at the pedicles and laminae of L2,L3,and L4 vertebrae.3)Peak disc stress in the TLK patient was consistently higher,most notably at the L5/S1 segment(0.78 MPa in the TLK patient vs.0.16 MPa in the healthy subject,387.5%higher).4)Facet joint cartilage stress distribution in the TLK patient was abnormal.The healthy subject exhib-ited peak stress at L5/S1(1.53 MPa),whereas TLK patient showed peak stress at L1/L2(7.44 MPa),14.18 times higher than the former.Conclusion This study validates the finite element model of TLK deformity,confirming its utility for TLK-related research.Moreover,significant differences in stress-strain distribution and magnitude are observed between the TLK patient and healthy subject.Meanwhile,prolonged abnormal biomechanical loading,particularly localized stress concentrations in the L1-S1 vertebral bodies,discs,and facet joints,may accelerate degenerative changes and elevate the risk of low back pain.

Objective To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation on patients with stroke-related sleep disorders.Methods From November,2023 to November,2024,a total of 68 stroke patients with stroke-related sleep disorders ad-mitted to Huashan Hospital,Fudan University were selected.They were randomly divided into control group(n=34)and experimental group(n=34).The control group received routine hyperbaric oxygen therapy,while the ex-perimental group received routine hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation inside the chamber,for four weeks.Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),sleep-monitoring wrist-bands,Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS)were used to assess the outcomes before and after treatment..Results Four patients in the control group and one in the experimental group dropped out.After treatment,the scores of each factors of PSQI decreased in both groups(t>2.693,P<0.05),and were lower in the experimental group than in the control group(t>2.699,P<0.01),expect hypnotic drug use(P>0.05);the total sleep time,deep sleep time and rapid eye movement sleep time became longer in both groups(|t|>7.270,P<0.001),and they were longer in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>5.712,P<0.001);the scores of SAS and SDS decreased in both groups(t>9.530,P<0.001),and they were less in the experimental group than in the control group(t>4.740,P<0.001).Conclusion Synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation in hyperbaric oxygen chamber could effectively prolong the total sleep time,deep sleep time and rapid eye movement time of patients with stroke-related sleep disorders,re-lieve anxiety and depression after stroke,and improve sleep quality.

Objective To assess the clinical and safety outcomes of endovascular therapy(EVT)administered beyond 24 h after the onset of symptoms in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)resulting from middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic occlusion.Methods We enrolled consecutive AIS patients with middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic occlusion who received EVT in our hospital between January 2020 and June 2023 and divided them into two groups based on the time from AIS onset to EVT:EVT≤24 h group and EVT＞24 h group.The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)scores after surgery,90-day functional independence(defined as mRS 0-2),symptomatic ICH(sICH),postoperative acute thrombosis,as well as mortality,were analyzed in the two groups of patients.Results A total of 161 patients were recruited,with 106 cases in the EVT≤24 h group and 55 cases in the EVT＞24 h group.The NIHSS scores declined after EVT in both groups(P＜0.01).The NIHSS scores after surgery were lower in the EVT≤24 h group(median:4.5 vs.7.0,P＜0.05).90-day functional independence(45.3％vs.30.9％,95％CI:0.93-3.68),sICH(5.7％vs.9.1％,95％CI:0.18-2.06),postoperative acute thrombosis(6.6％vs.3.6％,95％CI:0.37-9.34),and mortality(3.8％vs.1.8％,95％CI:0.23-19.42)did not differ significantly between the groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Our findings support EVT feasibility in selected patients with middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic occlusion beyond 24 h.Prospective studies are warranted for confirmation.

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.
