Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of 2 cases with spontaneous renal vascular rupture, and discuss the possible causes and treatment methods of this disease. Methods The clinical data and treatment methods of the 2 patients with spontaneous renal vascular rupture treated with renal artery embolization in Universal Global Xi'an Beihuan Hospital were analyzed. Relevant literature was reviewed to summarize the possible causes of this condition. Results The patients had no obvious history of trauma and no obvious abnormal coagulation function, and sought treatment due to sudden lumbar and abdominal pain. Laboratory tests revealed significantly decreased hemoglobin level, and elevated blood glucose (27.8, 27.6mmol/L). Abdominal computed tomography (CT) indicated perirenal hematoma and active bleeding. The bleeding arteries were located at the terminal branches of the anterior renal artery. Precise embolization was performed using CT angiography and selective renal artery angiography plus embolization, achieving an immediate hemostasis success rate of 100%. Postoperative hemoglobin level stabilized, and follow-up CT scans showed significant absorption of the perirenal hematoma without significant deterioration of renal function. Based on literature review and case analysis, the possible cause of spontaneous renal vascular rupture in these two patients was renal vascular sclerosis due to long-term diabetes. Other common etiologies of this condition included renal tumor, vascular malformation, and hypertension. Conclusion Spontaneous renal vascular rupture is rare. Renal artery embolization, as aminimally invasive treatment, can effectively control bleeding and protect renal function. The specific pathogenesis of this condition still requires further investigation. Long-term diabetes mellitus with poor blood glucose control may be associated factors, but more evidence is needed.

Objective To explore differentially expressed proteins in the serum exosomes of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients and healthy controls by using the proteomics method,and provide new biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of AML.Methods A total of 76 AML patients diagnosed and treated in the First People's Hospital of Honghe State from November 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the experimental group,and 60 healthy physical examination participants were selected as the control group.Tandem Mass Tag(TMT)labeled proteomics was used to identify the differences in protein expression in serum exosomes between the experimental and control groups,and the identified differentially expressed proteins were subjected to bioinformatics analysis.Western-Blot was used to verify the differentially expressed proteins.Results Comparedwith healthy controls,146 aberrantly expressed proteinswere detected in serum exosomes of AML patients,of which 89 were up-regulated and 57 were down-regulated.Among them,Alpha-1-antichymotrypsin(α1-ACT),Angiogenin(ANG),Vitronectin(VIT),Clusterin(Clu),Fibronectin(FN),Keratin type I cytoskeletal-18(KRT18),and actinin alpha4(ACTN4)showed changed significantly.Gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis indicated that differentially expresseproteins were involved in biological processes such as neutrophil immunity,neutrophil degranulation,neutrophil activation immune response,and protein activation cascade,significantly enriched in 25 biological pathways including complement and coagulation cascades,extracellular matrix(ECM)-receptor interaction,and hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1)signaling pathways.Western-blot validation results showed that compared with the control group,the expression levels of ANG,Clu and FN in the serum exosomes of AML patients were significantly increased,while the expression level of ACTN4 was significantly decreased,with statistically significant differences(t=-11.854～18.569,all P<0.05).The expression levels of ANG and FN were correlated with white blood cell count(F=8.888,7.818,all P<0.05)and cytogenetics(F=8.619,7.983,P<0.05).The expression level of Clu protein was correlated with white blood cell count(F=2.571,P<0.05),but not significantly associated with cytogenetics(F=1.886,P>0.05).ANG,FN and Clu showed no significant correlation with FAB classification(F=0.175,0.434,0.042,all P>0.05).Conclusion The expression of exosomal proteins in the serum of AML patients compared to healthy individuals are significant differences,which may serve as serological markers for the diagnosis and treatment of AML.

Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-1243 and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HULC in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tissues, and their relationships with clinicopathological features and postoperative prognosis of patients.Methods:A total of 116 PTC patients treated in the Second Hospital of Nanjing from August 2021 to August 2023 were selected. The expression levels of miR-1243 and lncRNA HULC in PTC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The differences in the expression levels of miR-1243 and lncRNA HULC between PTC tissues and adjacent normal tissues, as well as among PTC tissues with different clinical features and different prognoses, were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of miR-1243 in predicting postoperative recurrence of PTC patients.Results:The relative expression level of miR-1243 in PTC tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent normal tissues ( P<0.05), while the relative expression level of lncRNA HULC was higher than that in adjacent normal tissues ( P<0.05). The relative expression level of lncRNA HULC in PTC tissues of patients with tumor diameter ≥2 cm, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, and lymph node metastasis was higher than that in patients with tumor diameter <2 cm, TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, and no lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). The relative expression level of miR-1243 in PTC tissues of patients with TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ and lymph node metastasis was lower than that in patients with TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and no lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). There was no significant correlation between the expression of miR-1243 and lncRNA HULC in PTC tissues ( r=0.129, P=0.167). All patients were followed up for 12 months, and 20 patients had postoperative recurrence. The proportion of TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ in recurrent patients was 70.00%(14/20), which was higher than that in non-recurrent patients [29.17%(28/96), P<0.05], and the relative expression level of miR-1243 was lower than that in non-recurrent patients ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the relative expression level of lncRNA HULC between recurrent and non-recurrent patients ( P>0.05). The area under the ROC curve of miR-1243 relative expression level in predicting postoperative recurrence of PTC patients was 0.809(95% CI: 0.711-0.907, P<0.05), with a cut-off value of 1.17, sensitivity of 65.00% and specificity of 87.50%. Conclusions:The expression of miR-1243 is down-regulated and lncRNA HULC is up-regulated in PTC tissues, and both are related to clinicopathological features such as lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. Among them, the expression of miR-1243 is related to postoperative recurrence.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-873-5p(miR-873-5p)and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 16(CXCL16)in thyroid cancer tissue and their relationship with pathological parameters and prognosis.Methods A total of 125 patients with thyroid cancer who underwent surgery at Nanjing Sec-ond Hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were selected as the research subjects.Some cancer tissues and corresponding adjacent tissues of the patients were collected,and the expressions of miR-873-5p and CXCL16 mRNA were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The binding sites of miR-873-5p and CXCL16 were predicted through the online database.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between miR-873-5p and CXCL16 mRNA expression,and the correlation between miR-873-5p,CXCL16 mRNA expression and pathological parameters.According to the median expression of miR-873-5p and CXCL16 mRNA in thyroid cancer tissues,they were classified as high expression and low expression.The survival curves of patients with high and low expression of miR-873-5p and CXCL16 mRNA were plotted by the Kaplan-Meier method.Taking the survival status of patients with thyroid cancer as the dependent varia-ble,Cox regression was used to determine the relationship between the expressions of miR-873-5p and CX-CL16 mRNA and the death of patients with thyroid cancer.Results The expressions of miR-873-5p and CX-CL16 mRNA in thyroid cancer tissues were 0.83±0.12 and 1.54±0.25,respectively,and those in adjacent tissues were 1.13±0.15 and 0.98±0.13,respectively,the differences were statistically significant(t=-18.160,21.089).P＜0.001).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of miR-873-5p and CXCL16 mRNA in thyroid cancer tissues was negatively correlated(r=-0.722,P＜0.001).The expression of miR-873-5p in thyroid cancer tissues was negatively correlated with pathological type,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis(r=-0.510,—0.262,-0.315,P＜0.05).The expression of CXCL16 mRNA was positively correlated with pathological type,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis(r=0.593,0.275,0.314,P＜0.05).The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 5-year overall survival rate of patients with high expression of miR-873-5p was higher than that of patients with low expression of miR-873-5p.The 5-year o-verall survival rate of patients with high expression of CXCL16 mRNA was lower than that of patients with low expression of CXCL16 mRNA,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=11.328,10.514,all P=0.001).miR-873-5p≥0.84 was an independent protective factor for death in patients with thyroid cancer,and CXCL16 mRNA≥1.55 was an independent risk factor for death in patients with thyroid cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expressions of miR-873-5p and CXCL16 mRNA in thyroid cancer tissues are related to patho-logical parameters and prognosis,and may become prognostic markers for patients with thyroid cancer.

Objective: To understand the occurrence and predictive factors of depressive symptoms among multi ethnic middle school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a referential framework for schools to carry out targeted mental health education. Methods: From October to December 2022, 8 500 first grade students from 23 middle schools were selected from 11 minority areas in Yunnan Province by cluster random sampling method. Demographic information and data relating to the students lifestyles were collected by questionnaire, and the Children s Depression Inventory (CDI) was used to evaluate depressive symptoms. Chi square test was performed to compare differences in the detection rate of depressive symptoms among first grade middle school students for univariate analysis. A decision tree model of depressive symptoms in middle school students was established by using the Chi squared automatic interaction detector (CHAID). Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among first grade students from multi ethnic middle schools in Yunnan Province was 28.26%. The decision tree model of depressive symptoms was academic stress ( χ 2=469.08) at the first level, breakfast behaviors (low/moderate academic stress: χ 2=155.49; severe academic stress: χ 2=105.24) at the second level, and the number of close friends (low/moderate academic stress and consuming breakfast 0- 2 days weekly: χ 2=23.15; low/moderate academic stress and consuming breakfast 3-4 days weekly: χ 2=14.99; severe academic stress and consuming breakfast 0-2 days weekly: χ 2=29.26; severe academic stress and consuming breakfast 3-4 days weekly: χ 2=20.15), ethnicity ( χ 2=78.22) and drinking ( χ 2=50.36) at the third level ( P <0.01). Conclusions The study identifies academic stress, breakfast behaviors, number of close friends, drinking and ethnicity as predictive factors of depressive symptoms among multi ethnic middle school students in Yunnan Province. Schools should develop targeted strategies for preventing and managing depressive symptoms in middle school students, so as to reduce their occurrence.

Objective: To determine the latent class of dietary patterns and their association with depressive symptoms among first grade students from multi ethnic middle schools in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a reference basis for promoting mental health among border middle school students. Methods: A cluster random sampling involving 8 500 first grade middle school students from 11 counties in Yunnan Province was conducted by a questionnaire survey between October to December 2022. The Children s Depression Inventory (CDI) was used to assess the depressive symptoms and the Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to collect eating behavior data. The latent profile analysis model was used to fit the latent class of dietary patterns among students. The association between the dietary pattern latent class and depressive symptoms was analyzed by Logistic regression. Results: The depressive symptom detection rate among firstgrade middle school students was 28.3%. Prevalence of depressive symptom in girls (30.9%) was higher than boys (25.5%) with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=29.83, P <0.01). The dietary patterns among first grade middle school students were classified into four latent classes, as follows:class 1 (low consumption of all dietary components), class 2 (high consumption of fruit, milk and dairy products), class 3 (high consumption of vegetables and meat, and low consumption of processed foods) and class 4 (low consumption of milk, dairy products and eggs, and high consumption of processed foods). After adjusting for confounding variables, the class 3 dietary pattern was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms ( OR=0.62, 95%CI =0.52-0.74) and the class 4 dietary pattern was positively correlated with depressive symptoms ( OR= 1.28 , 95%CI =1.05-1.57) ( P <0.05), compared with the class 1 dietary pattern. Conclusions Multi ethnic first grade middle school students in Yunnan Province follow various dietary patterns. Unhealthy dietary patterns increase the risk of depressive symptoms. The dietary patterns of multi ethnic middle school students in Yunnan Province should be adjusted to promote the establishment of healthy dietary patterns and reduce the risk of depression symptoms in middle school students.

Objective: To investigate the association of sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption with insomnia and depressive symptoms among first grade middle school students from Yunnan Province, so as to provide evidence to guide interventions for the treatment of these symptoms in this population. Methods: From October to December 2022, 8 500 firstgrade middle school students from 11 counties in Yunnan Province were selected by cluster random sampling. Depressive symptoms, SSB consumption, and insomnia symptoms among students were evaluated by the Child Depression Scale (CDI), dietary frequency questionnaire, and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). A Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the relationship between SSB consumption, insomnia, depressive symptoms, and their interaction effects among students. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms was 28.3%, and having insomnia symptoms ( OR=6.07, 95%CI =5.46-6.75), consuming carbonated beverages ( OR=1.20, 95%CI =1.08-1.34), tea ( OR=1.13, 95%CI =1.02-1.25), energy drinks ( OR=1.36, 95%CI =1.23-1.50), and other beverages ( OR=1.32, 95%CI =1.19-1.45) were positively correlated with depressive symptoms among first grade middle school students ( P < 0.05). Carbonated beverages (additive effect: OR=2.96, 95%CI =2.72-3.22, multiplicative effect: OR=4.75, 95%CI =4.25- 5.32 ), fruit drinks (additive effect: OR=2.61, 95%CI =2.40-2.82; multiplicative effect: OR=4.43, 95%CI =3.94-4.97), tea (additive effect: OR=2.70, 95%CI =2.47-2.89; multiplicative effect: OR=4.34, 95%CI =3.86-4.89), energy drinks (additive effect: OR=2.82, 95%CI =2.61-3.05; multiplicative effect: OR=4.48, 95%CI =3.92-5.12), sweetened milk (additive effect: OR= 2.73, 95%CI =2.06-2.96; multiplicative effect: OR=4.61, 95%CI =4.12-5.17) and other beverages (additive effect: OR= 2.73 , 95%CI =2.53-2.95; multiplicative effect: OR=4.56, 95%CI =4.00-5.20) had both additive and multiplicative effects with insomnia, and increased the risk of depressive symptoms in first grade middle school students ( P <0.01). Conclusions The interaction between the consumption of SSB and insomnia symptoms may increase the risk of depressive symptoms among first grade middle school students in Yunnan Province. It is necessary to advocate middle school students to reduce SSB intake, in order to decrease the occurrence of depressive symptoms among this population.

Objective The chief aim of the present work is to investigate features of sternum of Chinese adults and to establish the sex determination method to evaluate its effect based on 3D recombinant morphology indicators. Methods Based on chest spiral CT scans, 2D images of multi-level recombination and 3D model of volume rendering, the experiment concludes an sex determination equation from 8 measurement indicators of the sternum and 3 ratio indicators. The 8 measurement indicators include full-length, handle length, body length, maximum width of the handle, maximum width of the body, maximum thickness of the handle, maximum thickness of the body, and thickness of the upper body. Results According to the 11 indicators of sex differences in statistics (P<0.05), especially indicators of the full-length, body length, maximum width of the handle and maximum thickness of the body, the body's sex is easier to be determined. All indicators equations, length indicators discriminant equations and stepwise discriminant equations have higher reliable rate (88.6%) which was consistent with the recent foreign research reports. Conclusion The method of sex determination based on multislice spiral CT 3D recombinant techniques is practicable and has an relatively high accuracy. It is expected to be applied to researches in age estimation by sternum and other virtual bones.
