Objective: To explore the association of vegetables and fruits intake with depressive symptoms among multi ethnic first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide data support for preventing and reducing depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students. Methods: From October to December 2022, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 ethnic minority areas in Yunnan Province (Fugong County, Longling County, Longyang District, Luchun County, Mojiang County, Nanjian County, Qiaojia County, Shuangjiang County, Tengchong City, Yuanmou County, Zhenyuan County), to investigate with a questionnaire. The Dietary Frequency Questionnaire was used to collect dietary behavior datas, and the Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was used to assess depressive symptoms. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the association of vegetable and fruit intake with depressive symptoms in students, and stratified analysis was performed according to ethnicity. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province was 29.5%. The detection rates of depressive symptoms in Han and minority first year junior high school students were 26.9% and 31.6%. After controlling for demographic variables such as gender, age, family residence and other confounding factors, the generalized linear model analysis results showed that the intake of leafy vegetables ( β= -0.07 , 95%CI =-0.12 to -0.01), flat fruits ( β=-0.06, 95%CI =-0.12 to -0.00) and hot natured fruits ( β=0.11, 95%CI = 0.04- 0.17) were associated with depressive symptoms in Han first year junior high school students (all P <0.05). The intake of melon and fruit vegetables ( β=-0.06, 95%CI =-0.11 to -0.01) and hot natured fruits ( β=0.06, 95%CI =0.01-0.12) were associated with depressive symptoms in ethnic minority first year junior high school students (both P <0.05). Conclusions The intake of vegetables and fruits among multi ethnic first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province is related to the risk of depressive symptoms. It is suggested to strengthen the consumption guidance and education of vegetables and fruits to prevent depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students.

Autism spectrum disorder(ASD),characterized by unknown etiology and high heterogeneity,ne-cessitates precise diagnostic and intervention strategies.Neuroimaging techniques have shown great promise in un-covering the neural mechanisms of ASD,providing a foundation for aided diagnosis and transcranial magnetic stim-ulation(TMS)interventions.This review highlights that integrating multimodal neuroimaging and developing indi-vidualized indices with developmental specificity can significantly improve the accuracy of ASD diagnosis and clas-sification.Furthermore,TMS interventions guided by functional connectivity derived from functional magnetic reso-nance imaging(fMRI)offer a personalized approach to ASD treatment.

Objective:To explore the genotype and the clinical phenotype of SCN2A-related developmental delay in children. Methods:A case series study was adopted. Collect clinical data from 10 cases of children with SCN2A gene variants diagnosed with global developmental delay/intellectual disability who were admitted to the Children′s Hospital between July 2019 and March 2023. Summarize the clinical phenotype and genotype based on clinical data such as general information, clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, laboratory tests, genetic testing results, and comprehensive pediatric neuropsychological development assessment. Results:A total of 10 patients were recruited, including 7 males and 3 females, with an age range of 27 days to 5 years and 9 months. 9 patients underwent children′s neuropsychological and behavioral assessments, and the results were consistent with global developmental delay, including 2 mild cases, 4 moderate cases, and 3 severe cases. 3 cases had autism spectrum disorder, and 2 cases had epilepsy. 6 patients underwent complete head MRI examination, and 4 of them showed abnormalities, including delayed myelination, widening of the local extra brain space in the frontal lobe, and abnormal frontal lobe morphology. All 10 cases had point variants. Among them, 9 cases are de novo and 1 case is maternal inheritance. Out of 10 cases, there were 5 cases with copy number variations, but all of them were of unknown significance. Among the 10 variants, 8 have been reported and 2 have not been reported, namely c.4145A>T(p.N1382I) and c.4937T>A(p.I1646N). In this study, 4 out of 10 patients with SCN2A variants had variation sites located in the S4 segment of domain which constitute Nav1.2, the sodium ion channel encoded by SCN2A. The developmental quotient level was lower when the variation sites were located in the S4 segment of domain, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.101, P=0.017), indicating that the severity of developmental delay may be related to the localization of amino acids corresponding to variant sites within the protein domain. Conclusion:SCN2A mutations are strongly associated with diverse neurodevelopmental disorders. In this study, the phenotypic spectrum of SCN2A variants encompassed epilepsy, global developmental delay, and autism spectrum disorder. Affected individuals exhibited early-onset developmental delays, predominantly moderate to severe in severity. Voltage-sensing domain dysfunction in sodium channels may constitute a critical pathomechanism underlying neurodevelopmental impairments. Further electrophysiological characterization and molecular mechanistic studies are warranted todelineate the genotype-phenotype correlations between specific variant loci and clinical severity.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of the nasal cycle and the patterns of bilateral nasal airflow distribution in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).Methods:This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 29 healthy subjects (control group: 16 males, 13 females; age range 23-60 years, mean 31.03±8.67 years) and 41 patients with OSA (OSA group: 34 males, 7 females; age range 20-62 years, mean 39.73±11.27 years) who visited the Sleep Medicine Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, between March 2022 and April 2025. Whole-night split-channel nasal airflow and polysomnography were performed to calculate nasal airflow laterality, nasal cycle duration, and the effects of severity, sleep stages, and body position on bilateral nasal airflow distribution during sleep were analyzed.Results:The nasal cycle duration in OSA patients was significantly shorter than in controls (179.5 min vs. 312.5 min, χ 2=14.01, P<0.001). Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and age were independent influencing factors. In the OSA group, the incidence of nasal cycle transitions within 10 minutes after wake [(observed)7/50 vs. 2/55(expected), χ 2=14.32, P<0.001], REM sleep [(observed)23/34 vs. 14/43(expected), χ 2=8.14, P=0.004], and position changes (21/36 vs. 11/46, χ 2=12.02, P<0.001) was higher, while, in the control group, it was only associated with REM sleep (15/15 vs. 8/22, χ 2=8.80, P=0.003). Nasal airflow lateralization in the OSA group showed a stronger correlation with body position. The nasal airflow lateralization in the supine position was significantly lower in OSA patients than in controls [REM stage: 0.626 (0.425, 0.743) vs. 0.781 (0.706, 0.857), Z=3.62, P<0.001; N3 stage: 0.526 (0.438, 0.600) vs. 0.716 (0.608, 0.853), Z=2.17, P=0.032; N1/2 stage: 0.702 (0.526, 0.787) vs. 0.747 (0.663, 0.820), Z=1.68, P=0.095]. Multiple linear regression revealed that AHI explained 31.3% of the variance in nasal airflow lateralization during supine REM sleep. Conclusions:The nasal airflow regulation during sleep in OSA patients differs from that in healthy individuals. Compared with healthy subjects, OSA patients exhibit shorter nasal cycle durations, reduced nasal airflow lateralization in the supine position, and a higher likelihood of nasal cycle transitions triggered by position changes or arousal. Healthy subjects demonstrate high and stable nasal airflow asymmetry during sleep, with minimal influence from sleep stages or body position.

Objective To evaluate the safety of two-port laparoscopic myomectomy through transumbilical laparoendoscopic single site surgery(TU-LESS)plus one auxiliary port in obese patients.Methods Clinical data of 139 cases who underwent two-port laparoscopic myomectomy from July 2020 to July 2023 were analyzed retrospectively,including 24 cases with body mass index(BMI)≥28 and 115 cases with BMI＜28.The patients underwent surgery through a transumbilical single-site port along with an additional left lower abdominal port equipped with a 5 mm trocar,utilizing the conventional multiport laparoscope and surgical instruments.The perioperative indexes were observed and compared between the two groups.Results A second auxiliary port was added due to operational challenge encountered in 1 case(BMI=31.6),and the other 138 procedures were successfully completed without conversion to other surgery.No severe intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred.There were no significant differences between the two groups in the perioperative indexes including operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hemoglobin difference before and after surgery,time to first postoperative exhaust,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)of pain at 24 h after surgery,postoperative fever,postoperative hospital stay,and hospitalization costs(P＞0.05).Conclusion Two-port laparoscopic myomectomy through TU-LESS plus one auxiliary port for obese patients is safe and feasible.

Objective:To construct a humanistic care nursing program for adult ICU patients, providing guidance for the clinical practice of humanistic care in ICUs.Methods:Based on a literature review and clinical practice experience, a preliminary humanistic care nursing program for adult ICU patients was drafted. From August to September 2024, the Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultation with 16 experts to revise the content of each item and the overall program, resulting in the final version of the humanistic care nursing program for ICU adult patients. The experts' engagement was measured by the effective response rate of the questionnaires, their authority by the expert authority coefficient, and the coordination of expert opinions by the Kendall's coefficient of concordance.Results:The effective response rate for the Delphi expert consultation questionnaires was 100.00% (16/16) in both rounds. The expert authority coefficients were 0.872 and 0.875, respectively. After the second round of consultation, the Kendall's coefficients for the importance, applicability, and feasibility of each level of item ranged from 0.119 to 0.313 ( P<0.05). The final humanistic care nursing program for adult ICU patients included three first-level items, 12 second-level items, and 55 third-level items. Conclusions:The humanistic care nursing program for adult ICU patients constructed in this study is scientific, targeted, and feasible, providing guidance for the clinical practice of humanistic care in ICU settings.

Objective:To explore the lived experiences of family members of terminal ICU patients regarding their humanistic care needs and provide theoretical foundations for developing nursing care plans tailored to their needs.Methods:This study was a descriptive qualitative study. From April to December 2023, 16 family members of terminally ill ICU patients in Shanghai East Hospital, Tongji University were selected for semi-structured interviews using purposive sampling method, and the interview data were qualitatively analyzed using Colaizzi 7-step analysis.Results:The humanistic care needs of family members of terminally ill ICU patients can be categorized into five themes, namely, the need to know the condition at the first time; the need to participate in treatment and decision-making; the need to respect the wishes of terminally ill patients; the need for psychological care; and the need for social support.Conclusions:The humanistic care needs of family members of terminal ICU patients remain largely unmet. Nursing professionals should consider these needs and preferences and provide family members with professional guidance to help them establish positive coping mechanisms.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic impact of perineural invasion in patients with stageⅢ colon cancer and to clarify its guidance value for the duration of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.Methods:This study employed a retrospective cohort study method. It analyzed 426 patients with stageⅢ colon cancer who underwent radical surgery at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center and Longyan First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, between April 2008 and June 2020. Inclusion criteria: patients received at least 3 months of adjuvant CapeOX therapy post-surgery, had complete pathological data, and were followed up for at least 12 months after the last chemotherapy. Among these patients, 231 were male, the median age was 59 (50~67) years, and 263 tumors were located in the right-sided colon. Postoperative pathology indicated that 107 cases (25.12%) had neural invasion, and 131 patients (30.75%) had vascular tumor thrombus. All patients received at least 4 cycles of postoperative CapeOX adjuvant chemotherapy, with 193 patients receiving 8 cycles and 233 patients receiving 4 to 7 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. The study analyzed the impact of neural invasion status and the duration of adjuvant chemotherapy on disease-free survival (DFS). Furthermore, within subgroups stratified by different risk levels (referencing the criteria proposed by the IDEA study: high risk: T4, N2 or T4N2; low risk: T3N1) and different neural invasion statuses, the impact of the duration of adjuvant chemotherapy on prognosis was analyzed.Results:The median follow-up time for the entire cohort was 94.00 months (55.27-128.80 months). Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that pathological T stage T4 (HR = 2.457, 95%CI: 1.499-4.029, P<0.001) and postoperative pathological confirmation of perineural invasion (HR = 2.465, 95% CI: 1.519-4.000, P<0.001) were independent adverse prognostic factors for 5-year DFS. In the perineural invasion-positive group, the 5-year DFS for patients who received 8 cycles of postoperative adjuvant CapeOX chemotherapy was 86.90%, compared to 58.22% for those who received 4-7 cycles, with statistically significant differences (both P<0.05). In the perineural invasion-negative group, the 5-year DFS for patients who received 8 cycles was 88.66%, compared to 90.99% for those who received 4-7 cycles, with no statistically significant differences ( P=0.929). Among IDEA high-risk patients with perineural invasion, the 5-year DFS was 91.81% for those who received 8 cycles versus 50.66% for those who received 4-7 cycles, showing a statistically significant difference ( P=0.003). In IDEA high-risk patients without perineural invasion, the 5-year DFS for those who received 8 cycles was 82.28% compared to 87.32% for those who received 4-7 cycles, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.806). In the IDEA low-risk patients, no differences were observed in the 5-year DFS between patients receiving 8 cycles and those receiving 4-7 cycles of adjuvant CapeOX chemotherapy in both perineural invasion-positive and negative subgroups (both P>0.05). Conclusion:Perineural invasion serves as a significant prognostic factor for 5-year DFS in stage Ⅲ colon cancer patients who have undergone radical surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. It can also be considered an important reference factor in deciding the duration of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment 2% versus pimecrolimus cream 1% in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in children aged 2 years or older.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 120 pediatric patients aged 2 - 17 years with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were enrolled from departments of dermatology of 8 hospitals in China between March 2022 and February 2023. The participants were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio to the crisaborole group and the pimecrolimus group, and received the treatment with crisaborole ointment 2% and pimecrolimus cream 1% respectively, twice a day for 4 weeks. Visits were scheduled at baseline/on day 1, as well as on days 8, 15, and 29. The primary efficacy outcome was the percentage of patients achieving the Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) success (defined as clear [0] or almost clear [1] on the ISGA scale, combined with ≥ 2‐grade improvement from baseline) on day 29. The secondary efficacy outcomes included changes in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) total scores from baseline to day 29, percentages of patients achieving ISGA improvement (defined as clear [0] or almost clear [1] on the ISGA scale), as well as changes in the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) /Infants' Dermatology Life Quality Index (IDLQI) /Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) scores, and in the Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI) scores. Drug safety was evaluated according to the incidence of adverse events. Categorical data were compared using the chi-square test. Since measurement data did not follow a normal distribution, the rank sum test was used for comparisons of measurement data between groups.Results:A total of 106 children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were included in the per-protocol analysis set, with 52 in the crisaborole group (26 males and 26 females) and 54 in the pimecrolimus group (27 males and 27 females). There were no significant differences in age, disease duration, ISGA and EASI scores at baseline between the two groups (all P > 0.05). On day 29, 22 patients (42.31%) in the crisaborole group and 25 (46.30%) in the pimecrolimus group achieved ISGA success, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.17, P = 0.68) ; 35 patients (67.31%) in the crisaborole group and 45 (83.33%) in the pimecrolimus group achieved ISGA improvement, also with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 3.68, P = 0.06) ; additionally, there were no significant differences in the EASI, pruritus NRS, DLQI/IDLQI/CDLQI, or DFI scores between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Adverse reactions to the two topical agents were mainly local reactions such as mild to moderate pain, itching, or worsening of itching, and no obvious systemic adverse reactions occurred. The incidence of drug-related adverse reactions was 46.15% (24 cases) in the crisaborole group and 37.04% (20 cases) in the pimecrolimus group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.91, P = 0.34) . Conclusion:The efficacy of crisaborole ointment 2% was comparable to that of pimecrolimus cream 1% in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in children aged ≥ 2 years, and it yielded early and rapid improvement in the quality of life of patients and their families, with good safety and tolerability profiles.
