BackgroundSchizophrenia， as a common chronic mental disorder， although second-generation antipsychotic drugs have shown significant efficacy in alleviating positive symptoms， the widespread cognitive dysfunction among patients remains a challenge in clinical treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of mental disorders. However， the current clinical research on the combination of Wendan Decoction and antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenia varies in quality， and there is a lack of systematic reviews evaluating its effects on cognitive improvement and safety. ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effects of modified Wendan Decoction combined with antipsychotic drugs on schizophrenia symptoms and cognitive improvement， providing evidence-based support for the clinical application of Wendan Decoction. MethodsLiterature searches were conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， VIP Information， China Biomedical Literature Service System， China Clinical Trial Registry， PubMed， Web of Science， the Cochrane Library， and Embase to collect randomized controlled trials （RCTs） of modified Wendan Decoction combined with antipsychotic drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to March 19， 2026. The quality of the included literature was evaluated using the Cochrane 6.3. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 11 studies were included， involving 1 130 patients with schizophrenia. Among them， 566 cases were in the study group （receiving modified Wendan Decoction combined with antipsychotic drugs）， and 564 cases were in the control group （receiving antipsychotic drugs only）. Meta-analysis showed that the effective rate of improvement in psychotic symptoms in the study group was higher than that in the control group （RR=1.21，95% CI： 1.15–1.27， P<0.01）. In terms of psychotic symptoms， the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale （PANSS） positive symptom score （MD=-3.69， 95% CI： -5.87–-1.51， P<0.01） and PANSS total score （MD=-9.20， 95% CI： -11.80–-6.59， P<0.01） of the study group were lower than those of the control group. In cognitive function assessments， the Mini-Mental State Examination （MMSE） score （MD=2.51， 95% CI： 1.33–3.68， P<0.01） and the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment （LOTCA） score （MD=11.85， 95% CI： 2.55–21.15， P=0.010） of the study group were higher than those of the control group， and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test （WCST） score was lower than that of the control group （MD=-9.34， 95% CI： -12.57–-6.11， P<0.01）. The levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） （SMD=1.34， 95% CI： 0.63–2.05， P<0.01） and nerve growth factor （NGF） （MD=6.94， 95% CI： 4.00–9.89， P<0.01） of the study group were higher than those of the control group. In terms of safety， there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups （RR=0.60， 95% CI： 0.31–1.18， P=0.14）. ConclusionThe modified Wendan Decoction combined with antipsychotic drugs may be more effective than antipsychotic drugs alone in improving positive symptoms and cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia， and it also exerts a favorable neurotrophic regulatory effect. ［Funded by Postgraduate Education Reform and Quality Improvement Project of Henan Province （number， YJS2023AL060）； Key Scientific Research Projects of Higher Education Institutions in Henan Province （number， 24B320018， 25B310004）］

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effects of different surgical methods for temporomandibular joint disc reduction and anchoring surgery, providing reference for optimizing this surgical procedure. Method: The study was approved by the hospital ethics committee. 173 patients (195 joints) who underwent temporomandibular joint disc repositioning and anchoring surgery were selected for retrospective analysis. Patients were categorized into groups A (traditional preauricular incision-scalpel/tissue scissors anterior attachment release), 35 patients (40 joints), B (traditional preauricular incision-plasma bipolar radiofrequency electrode anterior attachment release), 42 patients (46 joints), C (revised tragus incision - scalpel/tissue scissors anterior attachment release), 50 patients (58 joints), and D (revised tragus incision-plasma bipolar radiofrequency electrode anterior attachment release), 46 patients (51 joints). After a 6-month postoperative follow-up, the differences in maximum mouth opening (MMO), visual analogue scale (VAS), effective rate of joint disc reduction, incidence of preauricular numbness, obvious scars among patients in each group at 1, 3, and 6 months were compared postoperatively. Results: After surgery, the MMO of all four groups of patients initially shrunk and then gradually increased compared to before surgery. At the 1-month follow-up after surgery, the plasma bipolar radiofrequency release (B+D) group had a smaller impact on the patient’s MMO compared to the surgical knife/tissue scissors release (A+C) group (P < 0.05). Postoperative VAS scores for all four groups showed a gradual decrease from pre-operative levels, with the (B+D) group scoring significantly lower in the first month post-surgery compared to the (A+C) group (P < 0.05). Six months post-surgery, the rate of joint disc reduction of the four groups were higher than 95%, with no significant differences observed between the groups (P > 0.05). Patients in the revised tragus incision (C+D) group experienced a lower rate of preauricular numbness compared to those in the traditional preauricular incision (A+B) group (4.59% vs. 12.79%, P < 0.05), The incidence of obvious scars in the (C+D) group was significantly lower than that in the (A+B) group (3.67% vs. 23.26%, P < 0.05). Conclusion The revised tragus incision is superior to traditional preauricular incision in terms of protecting the auriculotemporal nerve and the scars were more inconspicuous. Further, the plasma bipolar radiofrequency electrode is superior to the scalpel/tissue scissors in terms of mouth opening recovery and pain control. For temporomandibular joint disc reduction and anchoring surgery, a modified tragus incision combined with plasma bipolar radiofrequency electrode to release the anterior attachment of the joint disc can be recommended as a surgical option.

Objective: To explore the association between negative life events and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for prevention and intervention of smartphone addiction among middle school students. Methods: Using cluster sampling, 8 890 students were selected to survey from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 (baseline) and 2023 (followup). Data were collected through selfresigned questionnaires on basic information, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and the Adolescent Selfrating Life Events Checklist. Mixedeffects models were employed to analyze the association. Results: Compared to 2022, the punishment scores of middle school students in 2023 [1.00 (0.00, 6.00) and 1.00 (0.00, 6.00)] decreased (Z=4.27), while the scores of interpersonal stress, learning stress and adaptation [4.00(0.00, 8.00), 4.00(0.00, 8.00); 4.00(1.00, 8.00), 5.00(2.00, 9.00); 2.00 (0.00, 6.00), 3.00 (0.00, 7.00)] increased (Z=-3.04, -8.36, -6.80) (P<0.01). Mixedeffects models revealed a positive doseresponse relationship between negative life events and smartphone addiction (OR=1.08-1.17, P<0.01). Stepwise regression showed independent positive effects of interpersonal stress (OR=1.05), academic stress (OR=1.03), and adaptation stress (OR=1.11) on smartphone addiction (P<0.01). Subgroup analysis of nonaddicted students in 2022 confirmed persistent associations for academic stress (OR=1.03) and adaptation (OR=1.07) (P<0.01). Conclusion Negative life events exhibit a positive doseresponse relationship with smartphone addiction, particularly interpersonal stress, academic stress, and adaptationrelated events.

Objective: To explore the potential causal association between adolescent compulsive behaviour and smartphone addiction based on longitudinal data, so as to provide reference for the establishment of adolescent smartphone addiction interventions. Methods: A preliminary survey and follow-up were conducted on 8 907 middle and high school students in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Compulsive behaviours were measured by using the Mental Health Inventory for Middle School Students-60 Items (MMHI-60), smartphone addiction was assessed by using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version ( SAS- SV), and the associations between compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction were analysed by using multilevel mixed-effects models and subgroup analyses. Results: Smartphone addiction detection rates among middle school students were significantly associated with genders, father s education level, mother s education level, study load subgroups, and whether or not they were single-parent families, and there were statistical differences ( χ 2=17.21-175.34, P <0.05). Students with compulsive behaviours were 2.98 times more likely to develop smartphone addiction than those without compulsive behaviours ( OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.77-3.22, P <0.05). Subgroup analysis of middle school students without smartphone addiction in the first year found that compulsive behaviours significantly predicted smartphone addiction ( OR= 1.76 , 95%CI=1.54-2.01, P <0.05). Conclusion There is a potential causal association between obsessive-compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction in middle school students, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours in middle school students could significantly predicted the occurrence of smartphone addiction.

Growth and development-related diseases result from the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. The collaboration between healthcare, sports, and education sectors integrates multidisciplinary resources and strengths to promote standardized diagnostic and therapeutic processes. This approach establishes a comprehensive closed-loop system encompassing early screening and referral, diagnosis and comprehensive evaluation, intervention and support plan formulation, as well as long-term management andoutcome assessment. It provides systematic scientific support for the healthy growth of children and adolescents, shifting disease intervention to the subclinical stage. Against the backdrop of societal informatization and intelligent development, this diagnostic and therapeutic model not only safeguards the holistic health of children and adolescents but also offers novel perspectives and feasible pathways for managing growth and development-related diseases. The implementation of this systematic diagnostic and therapeutic paradigm presents an innovative solution with Chinese characteristics for addressing such conditions, while injecting new vitality into the advancement of national health initiatives.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential machanism of Xiaozhong Zhitong Mixture （消肿止痛合剂， XZM） in the treatment of diabetes foot ulcer （DFU）. MethodsFifty SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， XZM group， inhibitor group， XZM plus inhibitor group （combination group）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the blank group， rats were fed with high-sugar， high-fat， high-cholesterol diet， intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin， and subjected to skin defect to establish DFU model. After successful modeling， the XZM group and the combination group were given 1 ml/（100 g·d）of XZM by gavage， while the blank group， model group， and inhibitor group were all given an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride injection by gavage. Thirty minutes later， the inhibitor group and the combination group were intraperitoneally injected with 5 mg/（kg·d） of Notch1 inhibitor DAPT. All groups were treated once a day. After 14 days of administration， the skin tissue from the dorsal foot of the blank group rats and wound tissue from the other groups were collected. The pathological changes of granulation tissue in the wound were detected using hematoxylin eosin （HE） staining. The microvascular density （MVD） in wounds was detected through immunohistochemical staining. Real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of Notch1 homolog （Notch1）， Delta-like ligand 4 （Dll4）， Delta-like ligand 4 （VEGF）， and angiopoietin 2 （Ang-2）， respectively. ResultsHistological results showed that the epidermal structure in the dorsal foot skin tissue of the rats in the blank group was intact. In the wound tissue of the model group， the epidermis exhibited excessive keratinization， vacuolar cytoplasm， and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrating the tissue， while in the XZM group， a large amount of scab formation was observed in the epidermis， with no significant inflammatory cell infiltration and a noticeable increase in fibroblasts. In the combination group and the inhibitor group， partial epidermal scab formation was observed in the wound tissue with a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared to those in the blank group， the MVD in the wound tissue increased in the model group， as well as the mRNA expression and protein levels of Notch1 and Dll4， while VEGFA and Ang-2 mRNA expression and protein levels significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the model group， the MVD in the wound tissue of all medication groups significantly increased， and the mRNA and protein levels of Notch1 and Dll4 decreased， while VEGFA and Ang-2 mRNA expression and protein levels increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to the XZM group， the inhibitor group and the combination group showed decreased MVD in wound tissue， increased Notch1 and Dll4 mRNA and protein levels， and decreased expression of VEGFA and Ang-2 mRNA and proteins （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionXZM can effectively promote wound healing in DFU rats， and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of Dll4/Notch1 signaling pathway in the wound tissue， therey promoting angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS)combined with mobilization with movement(MWM)on clinical efficacy,musculoskeletal ultrasound findings and bone metabolism indicators in patients with knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods Ninety KOA patients were collected and randomly divided into the control group(conventional rehabilitation+TENS,n=45)and the observation group(conventional rehabilitation+TENS+MWM,n=45)using a random number table.Clinical efficacy,knee joint function,musculoskeletal ultrasound indices and bone metabolism indices were compared between the two groups.Results The clinical efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).At 2 and 6 months post-treatment,Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)were significantly lower in the observation group than those of the control group,and Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale scores were higher in the observation group than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Additionally,articular cartilage thickness,bone gla protein(BGP)and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase(BALP)were higher in the observation group than those of the control group,and synovial thickness,suprapatellar effusion and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b(TRACP-5b)were lower in the observation group than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion TENS combined with MWM in the treatment of KOA patients can not only improve knee joint function but also optimize musculoskeletal ultrasound indices and regulate bone metabolism indices.
