Objective: To analyze the association between insufficient sleep and score of depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide a scientific reference for targeted early intervention measures of adolescents depressive symptoms. Methods: From September to November 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 96 080 junior and senior high school students from 409 schools in 113 districts and counties in Shaanxi Province. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the 2023 Shaanxi Provincial Common Student Diseases and Health Influencing Factors Survey Form, and their height and weight were measured. Propensity score (PS) matched (1∶1) analysis was used to match participants with insufficient sleep to those sufficient sleep students. Through the gradual correction of the confounders, three multilevel linear models were established to analyze the association between insufficient sleep and depressive symptoms score, and subgroup analysis was conducted afterward. Results: A total of 70 135 (73.00%) students had insufficient sleep. After PS matching, 25 894 pairs were matched. Before PS matching, after adjusting for gender, educational stage, region, adolescent characteristics, boarding status, smoking, alcohol consumption, outdoor activities and body mass index grouping, linear regression analysis results showed that compared with students who got adequate sleep, students who lacked sleep had an increase of 1.39 scores ( B=1.39, 95%CI =1.28-1.51) in depressive symptoms; after PS matching, students with insufficient sleep got an increase of 1.32 scores ( B=1.32, 95%CI =1.17- 1.45 ) in depressive symptoms score compared with those who had adequate sleep (both P <0.05). Conclusions The insufficient sleep is associated with the increase of the depressive symptoms score of junior and senior high school students. It is recommended that junior and senior high school students should keep a good sleeping habit, so as to reduce the prevalence of depressive symptoms.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of sound touch viscoelastography(STVi)and shear wave elastography(SWE)in distinguishing between benign and malignant breast nodules.Methods A total of 104 breast nodules(52 benign and 52 malignant)from 102 patients scheduled for surgical treatment at Binzhou Medical University Hospital between October 2024 and February 2025 were prospectively enrolled.All nodules were pathologically confirmed through surgical excision or core needle biopsy.The viscosity coefficient and Young's modulus of both intranodular and perinodular tissues within a 2-mm range were measured using the Mindray Resona A20S ultrasound system.The diagnostic performance of each parameter,the correlation between elastic parameter values and the maximum nodule diameter,as well as the inter-correlation between the two parameters were systematically analyzed.Results The elasticity parameters were significantly higher in malignant nodules[maximum intranodular Viscosity coefficient(Vimax):5.93(4.33,8.47)Pa·s,maximum Young's modulus(Emax):81.18(58.31,120.33)kPa;maximum Viscosity coefficient of the surrounding 2-mm tissue(Vi2max):7.57(5.40,10.16)Pa·s,maximum Young's modulus(E2max):117.21(65.66,170.66)kPa]compared to benign nodules[Vimax:3.70(2.69,5.32)Pa·s,Emax:41.42(28.29,64.25)kPa;Vi2max:4.30(3.63,5.65)Pa·s,E2max:47.23(36.42,74.67)kPa](P<0.05).The diagnostic performance of the 2-mm perinodular tissue(Vi2max:0.78,E2max:0.81)surpassed that of intranodular tissue(Vimax:0.72,Emax:0.77)(P<0.05).The combined diagnostic model(Vi2+E2,Vi+E)achieved AUC values of 0.82 and 0.77,respectively,which outperformed STVi alone(P<0.05)and showed marginally better performance than SWE alone,although the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The maximum nodule diameter showed a moderate correlation with the elasticity parameters,with E2max exhibiting the strongest correlation(r=0.510,P<0.05).Conclusions Both STVi and SWE show clinical value in distinguishing between benign and malignant breast nodules.Particularly,elasticity parameters obtained from the 2-mm perinodular tissue demonstrate better diagnostic performance than those measured within the nodule itself,and combining these parameters enhances the overall diagnostic accuracy of STVi.

ObjectiveTo explore effect of Xianlian Jiedu prescription on the recurrence of colorectal cancer （CRC） and investigate the related mechanisms. MethodsA postoperative recurrence model was established in 25 Balb/c mice by injecting CT26 cells subcutaneously into the armpit， followed by surgical removal of 99% of the subcutaneous tumor. The mice were randomly divided into model group， low-dose Xianlian Jiedu prescription （XLJDP-L） group （6.45 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， medium-dose Xianlian Jiedu prescription （XLJDP-M） group （12.9 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， high-dose Xianlian Jiedu prescription （XLJDP-H） group （25.8 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and 5-fluorouracil （5-FU） group （1×10^-3 g·kg^-1·d^-1）. The mice were euthanized after 14 days of continuous intervention， and recurrent tumor tissue was harvested. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological and morphological changes in the recurrent tumor tissue. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was employed to assess the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen （Ki67）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule （CD31） in recurrent tumor tissue. The Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of angiopoietin-2 （ANG-2）， VEGF， phosphorylated-protein kinase B （p-Akt）， protein kinase B （Akt）， phosphorylated-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （p-PI3K）， and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K） in recurrent tumor tissue. ResultsBefore treatment， there were no statistical differences in tumor volume， tumor weight， and body mass among the XLJDP-L， XLJDP-M， and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group compared to the model group， indicating model stability. After treatment， compared with those in the model group， the tumor volume and tumor weight in the XLJDP-L， XLJDP-M， and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group were significantly reduced （P<0.01）， showing dose dependency. Meanwhile， there were no significant differences in body weight among the XLJDP-L， XLJDP-M， and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group compared to the model group. HE staining showed that compared with that in the model group， tumor tissue in the XLJDP-L， XLJDP-M， and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group had loosely arranged cells， increased intercellular spaces， small and shriveled nuclei， light staining， fewer mitotic figures and atypical nuclei， and increased necrotic areas. IHC showed that compared with those of the model group， the positive rates of Ki67， VEGF， and CD31 in the recurrent tumor tissue of the XLJDP-L， XLJDP-M， and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group were significantly reduced （P<0.01） in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot results showed that compared with those of the model group， the protein expression levels of ANG-2 and VEGF in the recurrent tumor tissue of the XLJDP-L， XLJDP-M， and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group were significantly downregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the p-Akt/Akt and p-PI3K/PI3K ratios were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionXianlian Jiedu prescription significantly inhibits the recurrence of CRC in mice after subcutaneous tumor surgery. The mechanism may involve regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway and downregulating key angiogenic proteins such as ANG-2， VEGF， and CD31.

Objective:To explore the dilemmas of caregivers in managing pulmonary rehabilitation exercises in children with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans, so as to provide guidance for the development of a pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program.Methods:This study utilized the descriptive qualitative research method. From August to December 2023, 22 primary caregivers of children with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University were selected by purposive sampling method as study subjects for semi-structured interviews. The information was analyzed using the Colaizzi 7-step analysis.Results:A total of three themes and nine sub-themes were distilled, including information (concern for information on pulmonary rehabilitation exercise showing dynamic changes with the course of the disease, access to information on disease diagnosis and treatment and pulmonary rehabilitation exercise management through non-professional channels, biased perceptions of pulmonary rehabilitation exercise, and lack of a unified guide to information on pulmonary rehabilitation exercise) ; motivation (physiological and psychological barriers in the management and implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation exercises, lack of comprehensiveness and continuity of professional instruction in pulmonary rehabilitation exercises, and insufficient communication and collaborative support among family members) ; and behavioral skills (insufficient mastery of respiratory training methods with complex procedures, and lack of the ability to effectively plan a pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program) .Conclusions:Caregivers of children with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans face certain dilemmas in managing pulmonary rehabilitation exercises. It is necessary to improve caregivers' awareness of the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation exercise, strengthen their perception of exercise benefits, and enhance their training in pulmonary rehabilitation exercise skills, pay attention to children's exercise preferences, and perfect the social support system for diseases to promote the implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation exercise in children.
