Objective: To explore the relationship between beverage dependence and sleep quality among college students, providing empirical evidence for improving their sleep quality. Methods: From December 2024 to January 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 3 974 college students from four universities in Anhui Province. The Beverage Addiction Scale for College Students (BASCS) was used to assess beverage dependence, and the Self rating Scale of Sleep(SRSS) was used to evaluate sleep quality. A multivariate Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the relationship between beverage dependence and sleep quality, and a restricted cubic spline model was used to examine the dose response relationship between the two. Results: The positive rate of beverage dependence symptoms among college students was 7.6%, with positive rates of 9.6%, 13.8%, and 7.4% for the withdrawal symptoms, health effects, and dependence symptoms dimensions, respectively. The detection rate of sleep disorders was 23.6%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for covariates such as grade, gender, and body mass index, compared with the no beverage dependence group, students with positive beverage dependence symptoms had a higher risk of sleep disorders( OR =3.71, 95% CI =2.87-4.80, P <0.01). The OR (95% CI ) for sleep disorders among students with positive symptoms in the withdrawal symptoms, health effects, and dependence symptoms dimensions were 2.80(2.22-3.53), 2.38(1.95-2.91), and 2.45(1.89-3.18)(all P <0.01). Further analysis using a restricted cubic spline model revealed that the overall beverage dependence score and its three dimensional scores were approximately linearly related to the risk of sleep disorders among college students (all nonlinear P >0.05). Conclusions Beverage dependence is associated with sleep quality among college students. Schools should take multiple approaches, such as health education on beverage awareness, to improve students sleep quality.

Diabetic retinopathy is a common blinding complication in diabetic patients. Compared with conventional fundus color photography, fundus fluorescein angiography can dynamically display retinal vessel permeability changes, offering unique advantages in detecting early small lesions such as microaneurysms. However, existing intelligent diagnostic research on diabetic retinopathy images primarily focuses on fundus color photography, with relatively insufficient research on complex lesion recognition in fluorescein angiography images. This study proposed an adaptive multi-label classification model (D-LAM) to improve the recognition accuracy of small lesions by constructing a category-adaptive mapping module, a label-specific decoding module, and an innovative loss function. Experimental results on a self-built dataset demonstrated that the model achieved a mean average precision of 96.27%, a category F1-score of 91.21%, and an overall F1-score of 94.58%, with particularly outstanding performance in recognizing small lesions such as microaneurysms (AP = 1.00), significantly outperforming existing methods. The research provides reliable technical support for clinical diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy based on fluorescein angiography.

Robotic surgical systems, with advantages such as 3D visualization, rotating instruments, and stable imaging, are increasingly utilized in transabdominal and transanal approaches for rectal cancer surgery. Compared to traditional laparoscopy, robotic systems could educe the technical difficulty of total mesorectal excision (TME) and enhance pelvic autonomic nerve preservation, while demonstrating comparable long-term outcomes. However, the high cost and limited clinical benefits have led to reflection. Controversies persist regarding prolonged operative time, lack of haptic feedback and limited cost-effectiveness. Studies suggest robotic surgery may benefit patients with complex conditions such as obesity, narrow pelvis or low rectal tumors. The rapid development of domestic surgical robots is expected to break market monopolies, reduce costs and expand applications through telemedicine. Future efforts should focus on identifying optimal patient cohorts and generating high-quality evidence to refine the clinical utility of robotic surgery.

To explore the inhibitory effect of ginkgolide B (GB) on MH7A human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and its potential mechanism. Firstly, 20 μg/L tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was pretreated with MH7A to establish a cell model of arthritis. After incubation of MH7A cells with various concentrations of GB, CCK-8 assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry (FCM) were separately used to detect cell viability, cell invasion, and cell apoptosis rate and cell cycle; Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot assay were performed to detect the apoptosis- and cycle-related gene transcriptions and protein expressions, respectively. The results showed that compared with the control group, GB dose- and time-dependently suppressed cell viability to a greater extent; GB significantly reduced cell invasive ability and increased cell apoptosis rate and proportion of G0/G1 phase in MH7A cells, along with increased transcription levels of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and p21 mRNA and decreased transcription levels of Bcl-2, myeloid cell leukemia 1(Mcl-1), protein kinase B (PKB; AKT), IP3K, Cyclin D1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) mRNA; GB remarkably increased expression levels of Bax, p21, and cleaved-Caspase 3 protein and decreased expression levels of Bcl-2, Mcl-1, p-AKT, p-PI3K, Cyclin D1, and CDK4 protein, with decreased ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT, and Bcl-2/Bax. In conclusion, GB blocks the G1-to-S cell cycle transition, suppresses cell viability and cell invasion and induces cell apoptosis of MH7A human RA-FLS via suppressing the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To systematically evaluate the impact of cough enhancement techniques on weaning outcomes in adult patients under mechanical ventilation(MV).Methods Databases from the inception to 15th November,2024 were searched for randomised controlled trials(RCTs)on cough enhancement technique in MV patients.The searched databases were CNKI,Wanfang Data base,SinoMed,Vip,PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,Embase,and CINAHL.Literature and evidence quality were evaluated using Cochrane's evaluation tool for intervention research and the GRADE system,and data were extracted and analysed via Meta-analysis with Review Manager 5.3.Results A total of 27 studies were included,involving 2,322 patients(1,169 in the trial group and 1,153 in the control group).Compared with the control group,the trial group had shorter time of mechanical ventilation[MD=-1.40,95%CI(-1.83,-0.97),P<0.001],lower weaning failure rate[OR=0.48,95%CI(0.27,0.85),P=0.01],higher oxygenation index[MD=35.48,95%CI(21.53,49.43),P<0.001],lower pulmonary atelectasis incidence[OR=0.30,95%CI(0.18,0.49),P<0.001],greater sputum volume[MD=1.88,95%CI(0.76,3.01),P=0.001],shorter ICU stay[MD=-1.90,95%CI(-2.95,-0.85),P<0.001]and lower serum procalcitonin(PCT)[MD=-0.89,95%CI(-1.64,-0.14),P=0.02],all with statistically significant differences.However,there was no significant difference in the ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP)between the two groups[OR=0.54,95%CI(0.21,1.35),P=0.19].Conclusion Cough enhancement techniques promote sputum discharge,improve infection and oxygenation,shorten mechanical ventilation and ICU stay,reduce weaning failure and atelectasis rates in MV patients.Further studies are required to reduce the incidence of VAP.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of hyperoside on high glucose-induced excessive proliferation of retinal endo-thelial cells(RECs)and its possible mechanism.METHODS Diabetic retinopathy(DR)models were established in male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats.DR rats were treated with low-and high-dose hyperoside(DR+L-HY group and DR+H-HY group).Additional-ly,the normal control(NC)group,DR non-intervention(DR)group and DR+calcium dobesilate intervention(DR+CD)group were set up.The differences in the number of RECs in retinal blood vessels were observed and compared among all groups after intervention.In addition,RECs were inoculated into cell culture plates after normal culture and subculture.They were divided into 5 groups according to different treatments:normal glucose(NG)group,high glucose(HG)group,mannitol(MT)group,high glucose+low concentration of hyperoside(HG+H100)group and high glucose+high concentration of hyperoside(HG+H400)group.The activ-ity,cell migration and tubule formation of RECs in each group were detected and compared by CCK-8,cell migration and tubule for-mation assays.Western blot and qPCR were used to detect the expression of NADPH Oxidase 4(NOX4)and thioredoxin interacting protein(TXNIP)in each group.RESULTS The number of RECs in the DR group was significantly increased compared to the NC group(P<0.01).In contrast,the DR+L-HY,DR+H-HY,and DR+CD groups all showed significant decreases in RECs number compared to the DR group(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the reduction of RECs in the DR+H-HY group was significantly greater than that in the DR+L-HY group(P<0.05).Furthermore,the cell activity,migration number and tube formation number of RECs in the HG group were significantly higher than those in the NG group(P<0.05,P<0.01).The protein and mRNA expression levels of NOX4 and TXNIP in the HG group were also significantly higher than those in the NG group(P<0.01).However,the RECs activity,RECs mi-gration number and tube formation number in the HG+H100 group and the HG+H400 group were significantly lower than those in the HG group(P<0.05,P<0.01).The expression levels of NOX4 and TXNIP in both groups were significantly lower than those in the HG group(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the RECs activity,migration number,tube formation number,and the expression of NOX4 and TXNIP in the HG+H400 group were further significantly decreased compared with those in the HG+H100 group(P<0.01).CONCLU-SION Hyperoside could significantly inhibit the high glucose-induced excessive proliferation of RECs.The mechanism may be relat-ed to the inhibition of NOX4/TXNIP activation in high-glucose environment.

Objective To explore the value of preoperative amide proton transfer(APT)imaging combined with diffusion kurtosis imaging(DKI)in predicting lymphovascular space invasion(LVSI)in cervical cancer.Methods Fifty-one patients with cervical cancer who underwent preoperative MRI examination and had complete postoperative pathology were retrospectively selected.Pelvic MRI scans were performed 1-2 weeks preoperatively,and the corresponding APT values,mean kurtosis(MK)and mean diffusivity(MD)values were obtained respectively,and the occurrence of LVSI was determined based on postoperative pathology results.The predictive effects of APT-and DKI-derived parameters alone or in combination on the LVSI status of cervical cancer were compared.Results Among 51 cases of cervical cancer,36 cases had pathologically confirmed LVSI and 15 cases did not had LVSI.The area under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve for the preoperative APT values,MK and MD values alone and in combination to predict the LVSI status of cervical cancer were 0.820,0.788,0.762,0.894,0.885,and 0.896,respectively.APT values combined with DKI-derived parameters predicted LVSI better than when they were used separately,in which APT values combined with MK and MD values predicted LVSI of cervical cancer with the largest AUC,sensitivity of 91.7％,specificity of 80.0％,and Youden's index of 0.717.Conclusion Preoperative APT imaging and DKI have important value in predicting LVSI of cervical cancer,and the combined application of the two can improve the prediction efficacy,which has certain clinical application value.
