Objective: To explore the relationship between sleep characteristics, physical activity patterns, with depressive and anxiety symptoms in college students, so as to provide reference for student mental health promotion. Methods: From September to November 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 7 954 college students aged 18-22 years from 9 universities in Shanghai, Hubei, and Jiangxi. Assessments were conducted using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short-Form (IPAQ-SF), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate physical activity, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the impact of sleep characteristics and physical activity patterns on depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity among college students. Results: The detection rates for depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and comorbid depression and anxiety symptoms were 25.67%, 35.39%, and 23.15%, respectively. Factors such as gender, grade, household registration, parental education level, annual family income, family structure, and dietary habits were all associated with the detection rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (χ2=4.41-118.39, P<0.05). Physical activity patterns, sleep duration, sleep quality, and sleepwake characteristics were also associated with the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (χ2=9.66-627.70, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that college students who stayed up late and slept less than 7 had the highest risk of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (OR=1.93, 1.85, 1.88, P<0.05). Compared to regular physical activity patterns, insufficient physical activity patterns were associated with an increased risk of depressive and anxiety symptoms (all OR=1.18, P<0.05). Further stratified analysis results showed that the risk of depression, anxiety and their comorbidity increased in college students who stayed up late and slept less than 7 h, went to bed before midnight and slept less than 7 h, or went to bed before midnight and slept more than 7 h but did not have sufficient physical activity (P<0.05). Conclusions Sleep characteristics and physical activity patterns significantly affect depressive and anxiety symptoms in college students. Universities should strengthen sleep management and implement flexible physical activity interventions to help students establish healthy lifestyles.

Objective: To analyze the mediating effects of self-efficacy and self-management behaviors on the relationship between depression symptoms and glycemic control among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide references for optimizing health management of elderly T2DM patients. Methods: T2DM patients aged ≥60 years from 8 community health service centers in Nanjing City were selected using a convenience sampling method. Basic information such as gender and age was collected through questionnaires. Depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, and self-management behaviors were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Diabetes Self-Management Behavior Scale, respectively. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured to evaluate glycemic control. A mediating effect model was constructed to analyze the mediating effects of self-efficacy and self-management behaviors on the relationship between depressive symptoms and glycemic control. Results: A total of 567 elderly T2DM patients were included, with a median age of 70.00 (interquartile range, 7.50) years. There were 248 males (43.74%) and 319 females (56.26%). The median scores of self-efficacy, self-management behaviors, depressive symptoms, and HbA1c were 3.89 (interquartile range, 0.78), 4.45 (interquartile range, 1.55), 4.00 (interquartile range, 6.00), and 6.80% (interquartile range, 1.40%), respectively. The mediating effect analysis showed that depressive symptoms indirectly affected glycemic control among elderly T2DM patients through the independent mediating effects of self-efficacy (β=0.028, 95%CI: 0.016-0.043) and self-management behaviors (β=0.009, 95%CI: 0.003-0.016), as well as the chain mediating effect of both (β=0.025, 95%CI: 0.017-0.035). The mediating effects of self-efficacy and self-management behaviors accounted for 36.66% and 11.35% of the total effect, respectively, while the chain mediating effect accounted for 32.15% of the total effect. Conclusion Self-efficacy and self-management behaviors play mediating roles in the relationship between depressive symptoms and glycemic control among elderly T2DM patients.

Objective:To build a nursing care plan decision-making support system based on the hospital's nursing information system and evaluate its effects in newly hired nurses.Methods:This study adopted a non-synchronous pre-post control design. Totally 181 newly hired nurses recruited by Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, were selected by convenience sampling. The control group consisted of 85 new nurses hired in August 2021, while the intervention group consisted of 96 new nurses hired in August 2022. The control group received traditional training methods, while the intervention group received training through the nursing care plan decision-making support system in addition to the traditional methods. The nursing decision-making ability and the quality of specialty nursing care were compared between the two groups.Results:Finally, 81 nurses were included in the control group, and 93 nurses were included in the intervention group. The nursing decision-making ability score in the intervention group was (80.15±4.59), which was significantly higher than the (78.62±5.13) in the control group ( t=-2.080, P=0.039). The intervention group also had a significantly higher qualified rate of specialty nursing care compared to the control group (χ 2=6.626, P=0.036) . Conclusions:The application of the nursing care plan decision-making support system in the standardized training of newly hired nurses can improve their nursing decision-making abilities and the quality of specialty nursing care.

Objective:To elucidate the quasispecies variation of 3′ half-length genome in HIV-1 CRF103_01B-infected patients in Beijing using single genome amplification (SGA).Methods:This study enrolled six CRF103_01B-infected patients who were diagnosed during a drug resistance monitoring for newly diagnosed cases or newly treated cases with antiviral therapy in Beijing from 2017 to 2020. RNA was extracted from their plasma samples, and 3′ end of cDNA was diluted by serial dilution method after reverse transcription. Nested PCR was used to amplify the 3′ half-length genome sequences of HIV-1 quasispecies. MEGA 11 was used to construct Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree and calculate the intrahost genetic distance. Genetic variation in HIV-1 quasispecies was visualized by online Highlighter tool. BootScan analysis was performed using Simplot 3.5 software to analyze inter-quasispecies recombination. Virus tropism was predicted by online Geno2pheno tool.Results:Among the six CRF103_01B-infected patients, five were men who have sex with men. A total of 144 3′ half-length genome SGA sequences (19-36 sequences/case) were obtained. The NJ tree based on the 3′ half-length genome of HIV-1 quasispecies revealed different degrees of genetic diversity. The HIV-1 quasispecies in BL4748-00 case of acute infection has the least variation with the intrahost distance of 0.002±0.000, showing genetic homogeneity. The quasispecies sequences from BL4981-00, BL3150-00 and BL3558-00 cases formed at least three subclusters, respectively, with different evolutionary directions, and their intrahost distance ranked from 0.031±0.004 to 0.016±0.002 (BL3150-00>BL3558-00>BL4981-00). The quasispecies sequences from the couple BL3022-00 (female) and BL3023-00 clustered into a large monophyletic cluster (bootstrap value=100%), and the intrahost distance of the latter (0.025±0.003) was higher than that of the former (0.019±0.002). Inter-quasispecies recombination was observed in BL3558-00 case. The quasispecies from the six patients were CCR5-tropic viruses.Conclusions:The diversity of quasispecies variation in CRF103_01B-infected patients is related to disease progress. Genetic homogeneity is observed in acute HIV infection, while multiple evolutionary directions are detected in chronic infection. Co-infection or superinfection cases are not found, but there are recombination events among quasispecies in some cases.

Objective:To investigate the related risk factors of surgical appendectomy after endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) in children.Methods:From September 2019 to November 2023 at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University,the data from all related children with appendectomy after ERAT were analyzed. The general situation and main clinical manifestations of the children were collected. According to the effect of ERAT,the patients were divided into transfer to surgical group and appendicitis recurrence group by the reasons and time of transfer to surgical treatment. The indexes such as ERAT and reoperation process and pathological types of appendix after operation were collected,and the clinical experience was summarized.Results:Among the 242 children who underwent ERAT,32 cases underwent appendectomy again,including 19 males and 13 females,with an average age of（9.16±2.77）years,and the reoperation rate was 13.2%. The clinical manifestation was abdominal pain (32 cases,100.0%),mainly right lower abdominal pain (28 cases,87.5%),and the main duration was less than 3 months (30 cases,93.8%). Abdominal ultrasound or CT before ERAT mainly indicated appendicitis (11 cases,34.4%) and appendicitis complicated with appendiceal calculus (11 cases,34.4%). There were 9 children in transferred to surgical group,of which 5 cases were transferred to surgery because of ERAT intubation failure,and 4 cases were transferred to surgery because of appendix perforation or abscess. Postoperative pathology showed acute suppurative appendicitis in 5 cases and acute gangrenous appendicitis in 4 cases. There were 23 children in appendicitis recurrence group,whose abdominal pain was relieved after ERAT,but their symptoms were repeated after discharge. After clinical evaluation,they were diagnosed as recurrent appendicitis and underwent surgical appendectomy. Most of them were reoperated within 6 months after ERAT (21 cases,91.3%).Postoperative pathology was mainly chronic appendicitis (10 cases,43.5%).Conclusion:Acute suppurative appendicitis and acute gangrenous appendicitis are prone to catheterization or endoscopic failure during ERAT,and there is a high risk of surgical transfer. ERAT may relieve the symptoms of chronic appendicitis in children. If the symptoms are repeated,surgery is still needed to remove the appendix.

Objective To investigate the effects of eicosanoic acid(C20DC)on the proliferation and migration of human retinal endothelial cells(HRECs)and its mechanism.Methods The optimal working concentration of C20DC in human retinal pigment epithelium 19(ARPE-19)cells and HRECs was determined as 30 mg·L-1 and 25 mg·L-1,respec-tively.HRECs were divided into the C20DC treatment group(HRECs treated with C20DC)and the control group[HRECs treated with dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)].The effects of C20DC on the migration and proliferation of HRECs were detec-ted by cell proliferation and migration experiments.The molecular docking method was used to simulate the binding ability of C20DC to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ(PPARδ).ARPE-19 cells were divided into the C20DC+ARPE-19 group(ARPE-19 cells treated with C20DC)and the DMSO+ARPE-19 group(ARPE-19 cells treated with DMSO).The ex-pression levels of PPARδ and angiopoietin-like protein 4(ANGPTL4)in ARPE-19 cells and ANGPTL4 protein in HRECs were detected using Western blot.The ANGPTL4 protein expression levels in ARPE-19 cells and HRECs were quantitatively analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results Compared with the control group,the prolifera-tion and migration of cells in the C20DC treatment group significantly increased(both P＜0.05),and C20DC could stably bind to PPAR8(binding energy:-7.20 kcal·mol-1).Western blot showed that the expression level of ANGPTL4 protein in the C20DC+ARPE-19 group was higher than that in the DMSO+ARPE-19 group,and the difference was statistically sig-nificant(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the expression level of PPARδ receptor protein be-tween the two groups(P＞0.05).The expression level of ANGPTL4 protein in the C20DC treatment group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).ELISA quantitative analysis showed that the expression level of ANGPTL4 in the C20DC+ARPE-19 group was higher than that in the DMSO+ARPE-19 group(P＜0.001);the expression level of ANGPTL4 in the C20DC treatment group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion C20DC can promote the expression of ANGPTL4 pro-tein by binding to PPARδ and thus increase the proliferation and migration of retinal related cells(HRECs and ARPE-19 cells).Its mechanism may be related to the increased angiogenesis in retinopathy of prematurity.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pathogens in foodborne disease cases in Haining City， Zhejiang Province， and to provide a basis for the prevention and investigation of foodborne diseases and outbreak events. MethodsInformation on foodborne disease patients from 2014 to 2023 was collected， and stool or anal swab samples were tested for relevant pathogens. The χ² test was used to compare the differences in pathogen detection rates among different groups， and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for pathogen detection. ResultsA total of 5 814 samples were tested， with a positive detection rate of 15.36%. The detection rates were 4.95% for norovirus， 4.49% for Escherichia coli， 3.59% for Salmonella， 2.22% for Vibrio parahaemolyticus， and 0.11% for Shigella. The positive detection rates showed seasonal characteristics， with a minor peak in March-April dominated by norovirus and a major peak in July-September dominated by bacteria. The three groups with the highest detection rates were workers， white-collar workers and other groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age， season， and antibiotic use before consultation were significant influencing factors for pathogen detection （P<0.05）. Total pathogen detection risk was lower in the group that took antibiotics before visiting the clinic compared to those who did not （OR=0.29， 95%CI： 0.15‒0.49）. The detection risk for norovirus was lower in the preschool age group （OR=0.19， 95%CI： 0.04‒1.00）， in summer and autumn （OR range 0.23‒0.41）， and in the group taking antibiotics （OR=0.42， 95%CI： 0.15‒0.92）， but higher in the adolescent group （OR=1.40， 95%CI： 1.05‒1.88）. The detection risk for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli was higher in summer （OR=1.82， 95%CI： 1.30‒2.60）. The detection risk for Salmonella increased in the elderly group and in summer （OR range 1.44‒2.21）， but decreased in the adolescent group， in winter， and in the group taking antibiotics （OR range 0.22‒0.65）. The detection risk for Vibrio parahaemolyticus increased in summer and autumn （OR range 1.80‒1.90）， but decreased in the primary and secondary school student group and in winter （OR range 0.10‒0.32）. ConclusionThe prevalence of foodborne disease pathogens in Haining City is relatively high. Age， season， and antibiotic use before consultation are independent influencing factors for pathogen detection. These findings suggest that specific hypotheses regarding pathogenic factors can be proposed based on the time of occurrence and the age distribution of cases during field investigations of foodborne outbreaks.

Objective:To investigate the effects of casticin(CAS)on lipopolysaccharide-induced injury of human normal lung epithelial cells(BEAS-2B)and NF-κB-Keap1-Nrf2/ARE pathway.Methods:BEAS-2B cells were pretreated with different concentra-tions of casticin for 1 h,2 h and 4 h,and then treated with 1 μg/ml liposolysaccharide to construct cell damage model.The contents of inflammatory factors in cell supernatant was detected by ELISA to screen the optimal concentration and time of casticin.The cells were divided into normal group,model group,Casticin group,ML385 group,Casticin+ML385 group and dexamethasone group.Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,the concentrations of inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA,and the levels of NF-κB p65,p-NF-κB p65,Keap1,Nrf2 and Nrf2 protein in cell nucleus were detected by Western blot.Results:The optimal concentration of CAS was 10 μmol/L and the optimal time was 2 h.Compared with normal group,the apoptosis rate,the contents of inflammatory fac-tors,p-NF-κB p65 and Keap1 protein expression levels in model group were significantly increased(P<0.01),and Nrf2 protein expression levels in cells and nuclei were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with model group,apoptosis rate and contents of inflammatory factors in casticin group and dexamethasone group were significantly decreased(P<0.01),protein expression levels of p-NF-κB p65 and Keap1 in Casticin group were significantly decreased(P<0.01).The expression level of Nrf2 protein in cells and nuclei was significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with ML385 group,apoptosis rate,inflammatory factors contents,p-NF-κB p65 and Keap1 protein expression levels in Casticin+ML385 group were significantly decreased(P<0.01),the expression level of Nrf2 protein in cells and nuclei were significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion:CAS can inhibit cell inflammation induced by lipo-polysaccharide by regulating NF-κB-Keap1-Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and potential mechanism of evodiamine on inflammatory response and apoptosis of epithelial cells in asthma model rats. METHODS SD rats were separated into control group， model group， evodiamine low-dose group （10 mg/kg）， evodiamine high-dose group （20 mg/kg）， dexamethasone group （positive control， 0.5 mg/kg）， epidermal growth factor （EGF） group [mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） activator， 10 μg]， evodiamine high-dose+EGF group （20 mg/kg evodiamine+10 μg EGF）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group， the other groups were sensitized by 3-point injection of 10% ovalbumin（OVA）-aluminium hydroxide mixture and stimulated by inhalation of 2%OVA nebulized liquid to establish an asthma model. The count of inflammatory cells （macrophages and lymphocytes） in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） was detected in each group； pathological changes of lung tissue in rats were observed； the apoptosis of airway epithelial cells， the levels of serum inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α， interleukin-6 （IL-6） and IL-4]， the expressions of pathway-related proteins p38 MAPK， phosphorylated p38 MAPK （p-p38 MAPK）， signal transduction and transcription activating factor 1 （STAT1）] and apoptosis-related proteins [B cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） and Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）] were all detected in lung tissue. RESULTS Compared with the control group， bronchial mucosal edema， thickening of alveolar septa and extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed in the lung tissue of rats in the model group； the number of inflammatory cells， apoptosis rate of airway epithelial cells， the levels of inflammatory factors， p-38 MAPK/p-38 MAPK， and the protein expressions of Bax and STAT1 were increased significantly； the expressions of Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-2/Bax were reduced significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the pathological changes in lung tissues were alleviated to varying degrees in evodiamine low-dose and high-dose groups， and dexamethasone groups， and the above indicators were significantly reversed. However， the change trends of corresponding indicators in the EGF group were opposite to the above （P＜0.05）. EGF could significantly attenuate the effect of high-dose evodiamine on inflammatory response in asthmatic rats （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Evodiamine can relieve inflammatory reactions and inhibit the apoptosis of airway epithelial cells in asthmatic rats， the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting p38 MAPK/STAT1 signaling pathway.
