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.

Objective To assess the current status of microbial and parasitic quality control for laboratory animals in Jiangxi Province by analyzing microbiological and parasitic test results from production facilities between 2020 and 2024, and to provide a basis for enhancing quality control measures. MethodsIn accordance with the current national standards for laboratory animals at the time of testing, the Jiangxi Provincial Laboratory Animal Quality Inspection Station (affiliated to Institute of Occupational Medicine of Jiangxi) conducted microbial and parasitic testing on 451 laboratory animals of 4 species from 6 laboratory animal production units in Jiangxi Province between 2020 and 2024, and analyzed the quality status of laboratory animals in the province. ResultsPasteurella pneumotropica was detected in one mouse sample in 2020, with a detection rate of 5.00%. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected in one mouse sample and mouse hepatitis virus antibody was detected in another mouse sample in 2023, with a detection rate of 2.78%, respectively. No microorganisms or parasites that should be excluded from SPF grade mice as specified in the national standards were detected in 2021, 2022, or 2024, with a qualification rate of 100.00%. Pasteurella pneumotropica was detected in four rat samples in 2020, with a detection rate of 20.00%. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected in two rat samples in 2021, with a detection rate of 10.00%, and Tyzzer's disease agent antibody was detected in four rat samples in 2024, with a detection rate of 10.00%. No microorganisms or parasites that should be excluded from SPF grade rats as specified in the national standards were detected in 2022 or 2023, with a qualification rate of 100.00%. For rabbits and guinea pigs, no microorganisms or parasites required to be tested for conventional grade rabbits and guinea pigs as specified in the national standards were detected from 2020 to 2024, with the qualification rate of both species reaching 100.00%. ConclusionBased on the microbial and parasitic testing results, the quality of rabbits and guinea pigs in Jiangxi Province is satisfactory. However, some issues persist with rats and mice. It is recommended to enhance the quality of experimental animals in Jiangxi Province by increasing the frequency of random inspections by quality testing units or by improving the self-inspection capabilities of production and user facilities.

Objective To compare the differences of baseline characteristics of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)who achieved platelet(PLT)response after arsenic-containing TCM compounds combined with Western medicine treatment.Methods Totally 72 MDS patients were selected from 12 outpatient departments and wards,such as Xiyuan Hospital,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,Dongfang Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from October 2021 to October 2024.Among them,45 patients received arsenic-containing TCM compounds combined with Western medicine treatment,27 patients received Western medicine treatment.The blood routine[white blood cell(WBC)count,hemoglobin,PLT,neutrophil count],TCM syndrome scores,safety indicators,and adverse events were observed before and after three courses of treatment.The efficacy of all patients was evaluated,and the baseline characteristics of patients who achieved PLT response in the arsenic-containing TCM compounds group and the Western medicine treatment group were compared.Results Comparing the differences of baseline characteristics of the two groups,it was found that the patients who achieved PLT response in the arsenic-containing TCM compounds group were compared with those in the Western medicine treatment group:Age<60 years old(P=0.038),longer disease duration(P=0.012),lower WBC(P=0.017),lower reticulocyte percentage(P=0.037),lower blood urea nitrogen(P=0.046),lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(P=0.014),and lower N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(P=0.034),abnormal electrocardiogram(P=0.013),high blasts(P=0.009),grade 0 reticular fiber staining(P<0.01),normal chromosome karyotype(P<0.01),gene mutation(P<0.01)and high TCM syndrome scores(P=0.013)were found.Conclusion Arsenic-containing TCM compounds consisting of Qinghuang Powder and Bushen Jianpi Decoction combined with Western medicine is used to treat MDS.Patients with age<60 years old,long disease duration,low WBC count,low reticulocyte percentage,low blood urea nitrogen,low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,low N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide,abnormal electrocardiogram,high blasts,grade 0 reticular fiber staining,normal chromosome karyotype,gene mutation and high TCM syndrome score are more likely to obtain PLT response.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Xuefu Zhuyu Mixture(XFZY)in rats with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods A CHD rat model was established.Successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into five groups(n=12 each):model group,Lipitor group,low-dose XFZY group(7.02 g·kg-1·d-1),high-dose XFZY group(14.04 g·kg-1·d-1),and high-dose XFZY+RS09[Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)agonist]group(14.04 g·kg-1·d-1 XFZY+intraperitoneal RS09),with an additional normal control group(n=12).After treatment,following treatment completion,all rats underwent echocardiography to assess left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVDd),end-systolic diameter(LVDs),ejection fraction(LVEF),and fractional shortening(FS).Myocardial histopathology and vascular remodeling indices were evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,while myocardial fibrosis was examined using Masson's trichrome staining.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was employed to quantify inflammatory cytokine levels[tumor necrosis factorα(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-1β,and IL-6]in myocardial tissues.Immunohistochemical analysis determined protein expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bc12)and Caspase 3 in myocardial tissues.Western Blot was performed to measure myocardial protein expression levels of TLR4,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K),phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-AKT),total AKT,phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin(p-mTOR),and total mTOR.Results Compared with the normal group,rats in the model group exhibited severe myocardial tissue damage,along with significantly elevated collagen volume fraction,LVDs,LVDd,myocardial levels of IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β,cardiomyocyte apoptosis ratio,aortic media thickness,and protein expression of Caspase 3,TLR4,PI3K,p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR in myocardial tissue(P＜0.05).Conversely,LVEF,FS,aortic luminal diameter,and Bcl-2 protein content were significantly reduced,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared to the model group,both low-and high-dose XFZY groups as well as the Lipitor group demonstrated attenuated myocardial lesions,with significant reductions in collagen volume fraction,LVDs,LVDd,myocardial IL-6,TNF-α,IL-1β levels,cardiomyocyte apoptosis ratio,aortic media thickness,and protein expression of Caspase 3,TLR4,PI3K,p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR(P＜0.05).Concurrently,LVEF,FS,aortic luminal diameter,and Bcl-2 protein content were significantly increased,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).No statistically significant differences were observed between the high-dose XFZY group and the Lipitor group for any aforementioned parameters(P＞0.05).However,rats treated with high-dose XFZY plus RS09 showed aggravated myocardial injury with manifested interstitial fibrosis,alongside significantly intensified inflammatory response,cardiomyocyte apoptosis,and vascular remodeling compared to the high-dose XFZY alone group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion XFZY alleviates CHD symptoms by suppressing TLR4/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway activation,thereby reducing myocardial inflammation,fibrosis,apoptosis,and vascular remodeling.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dye-free submucosal injection solution for gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a retrospective cohort study was performed on data of inpatients with early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions who underwent ESD at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to December 2020. Cases were divided into dye-free submucosal injection solution group (the observation group) and dye-containing solution group (the control group). A total of 108 cases met the eligibility criteria for analysis (39 VS 69). Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed similar median procedure time (30.5 min VS 35.0 min), median dissection speed (0.3 cm2/min VS 0.4 cm2/min), mean volume of injection solution used (39.2 mL VS 38.8 mL), en bloc resection rate [100.0% (39/39) VS 98.6% (68/69)], and curative resection rate [97.4% (38/39) VS 97.1% (67/69)] (all P>0.05). Postoperative stay was 3.0±0.8 days in the observation group and 3.2±0.8 days in the control group ( t=-0.908, P=0.378). Delayed bleeding occurred in 3 (7.7%) patients VS 2 (2.9%) patients ( P=0.349), and postoperative infection occurred in 3 (7.7%) patients VS 8 (11.6%) patients ( P=0.743), respectively. In gastric ESD, dye-free submucosal injection solution demonstrates efficacy comparable with dye-containing solution and does not appreciably increase the incidence of intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Objective:To understand the psychological experience of tumor radiotherapy patients after participating in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and to provide reference and supplement for the development of ACT psychological intervention plans for tumor radiotherapy patients.Methods:This study was a qualitative study. Using the purposive sampling method, a total of 17 tumor radiotherapy patients treated at Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center from January to March 2023 were selected as the research objects. Phenomenological research method was used to conduct semi-structured in-depth interviews with patients, and the interview data were analyzed by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:Three themes were extracted, namely, positive physical and mental experience (including improving physical symptoms, relieving negative emotions and cooperating with particle therapy), gaining personal growth (including learning flexible and varied psychological coping strategies, gaining mutual help and friendship, feeling valuable family affection and drawing a better future life) and recommendations for optimizing the ACT intervention program (including building teams according to the patients' conditions, increasing the frequency of activities, trying to experience relief exercises outdoors and increasing the continuity of the intervention program) .Conclusions:ACT can help cancer radiotherapy patients improve their physical and mental health, cope with psychological problems, so that patients can face the disease, treatment and life more positively.

Objective:To explore the effect of supportive-expressive group psychological intervention on the fear of recurrence in cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.Methods:From September 2022 to February 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 72 tumor inpatients from Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into an intervention group and a control group, with 36 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the intervention group carried out supportive-expressive group psychological intervention. The fear of recurrence, meaning in life, and perceived social support scores of two groups of patients before and after intervention were compared using the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), Cancer-Meaning in Life Scale (C-MiLS), and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) .Results:A total of 7 cases were lost, with 33 cases in the intervention group and 32 cases in the control group completing the study. Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the general information, fear of recurrence, meaning in life, and perceived social support scores between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). After supportive-expressive group psychological intervention, the total score of cancer recurrence fear, physical health dimension, and social family dimension scores of the intervention group were (30.42±8.31), (15.58±4.12), and (14.82±4.83), respectively, which were lower than the control group's (36.19±5.64), (18.84±3.48), and (17.09±3.27), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.260, -3.446, and -2.216; P<0.05). After intervention, the total score of the intervention group's meaning in life was (63.42±6.37), which was higher than the control group's (54.91±6.53), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.325, P<0.05). After intervention, the perceived social support score of the intervention group was (67.64±7.93), which was higher than the control group's (62.38±10.25), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.318, P<0.05). After intervention, the level of fear of recurrence in the intervention group was lower than that before intervention, and the level of meaning in life and perceived social support were higher than those before intervention, with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Support-expressive group psychological intervention can help cancer patients deal with survival, emotional, and interpersonal issues they face, reduce their fear of recurrence, improve their meaning in life, and perceived social support.

Objective To explore the effects of Tanganjianwan(TGJW)combined with abdominal massage(AM)on glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammatory factors in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus(OT2DM)patients with metformin treatment.Methods Patients with OT2DM diagnosed in Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to June 2023 were included as study subjects,and were divided into the AM group(metformin combined with AM)and the TGJW group(metformin combined with AM+TGJW)according to the random number table method.The treatment efficacy and safety were assessed by continuous intervention for 3 months.Obesity-related indices[waist-hip ratio(WHR)and body mass index(BMI)],glycemic and lipid metabolic indices[glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),fasting blood glucose(FBG),postprandial 2-hour glucose(P2hG),total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)],insulin sensitivity indexes[homeostasis model insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR)and homeostasis model pancreaticβ-cell function index(HOMA-β)],and inflammation indexes[interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),and C-reactive protein(CRP)]changes were compared before and after treatment between the TGJW group and the AM group.Results A total of 100 OT2DM patients were included in the study,with 50 cases each in the TGJW group and AM group.After the intervention,the treatment efficiency of the TGJW group was significantly higher than that of the AM group(P＜0.05),and no malignant adverse events occurred during treatment.Compared with the pre-treatment period,the levels of WHR,BMI,FBG,P2hG,HbA1c,TC,TG,LDL-C,HOMA-IR,IL-6,TNF-α,and CRP decreased in both groups(P＜0.05),while the levels of HDL-C and HOMA-β increased significantly(P＜0.05).After the intervention,the levels of WHR,BMI,FBG,P2hG,HbA1c,TC,TG,LDL-C,HOMA-IR,IL-6,TNF-α,and CRP in the TGJW group were lower than those in the AM group(P-＜0.05),while the levels of HDL-C and HOMA-β were higher than those in the AM group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with AM treatment alone,TGJW combined with AM can improve glucose-lipid metabolism,insulin sensitivity and inflammation indexes in OT2DM patients,enhance the therapeutic effect of metformin treatment in OT2DM patients,and is safe,it has certain clinical promotion significance.
