ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between acne vulgaris and gut microbiota. MethodsA total of 29 clinical cases diagnosed with moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris and 26 healthy individuals as control subjects were recruited. Fecal specimens were collected from all participants, and further analysis of gut microbial communities was performed by leveraging high-throughput sequencing techniques that target the hypervariable regions of 16S rRNA genes. ResultsAssociations between acne vulgaris and alterations in gut microbiota were identified. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of Bacteroidota exhibited a statistically significant elevation in the acne vulgaris cohort when compared with the healthy control group (P<0.01), while Cyanobacteria was significantly lower in the acne group (P<0.01). At the genus level, the top five different bacterial taxa in both groups were Bacteroides, Escherichia⁃Shigella, Klebsiella, Roseburia, and Parabacteroides. Among them, Bacteroides, Roseburia, and Parabacteroides were more abundant in acne patients. Linear discriminant analysis identified five biomarkers all belonging to the Bacteroidota phylum in the acne and control groups. These biomarkers belong to the phylum Bacteroidetes. ConclusionThere are significant differences in the composition of intestinal microbiota between acne patients and healthy people. Changes in the richness of specific bacterial genera may become new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of acne.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient's lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents is a serious global public health issue. Self-stigma is identified as a key factor hindering adolescents from seeking professional psychological help, while only a few studies have dealt with the self-stigma in adolescents with mood disorder exhibiting NSSI behavior. ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors of self-stigma among adolescents with mood disorder who exhibit NSSI behavior, and to examine the chained mediation role of self-esteem and social avoidance/distress in the relationship between NSSI behavior and self-stigma, with the aim of providing references for the detection and intervention of self-stigma in such patients. MethodsA total of 220 consecutive adolescent patients with mood disorder who met "the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition"(ICD-10) diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder or depressive episode of bipolar disorder and attended the Fourth People's Hospital of Wuhu from November 2022 to November 2023 were recruited. The Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSAQ), Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) Scale, Self-Esteem Scale (SES), and Social Avoidance/Distress Scale (SADS) were employed to assess the participants. Correlation among variables was evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Multivariate linear regression analysis was utilized to identify the factors influencing self-stigma among adolescent patients with mood disorder exhibiting NSSI. The proposed mediating hypotheses were tested using Model 6 in the SPSS Process macro (version 3.0). ResultsValid responses were received from 204/220 (92.73%) participants, including 153 cases with NSSI and 51 cases without NSSI. The NSSI (vs. no NSSI) group reported significantly higher scores on ISMI and SADS (t=-5.187, -4.564, P<0.01), and lower scores on SES (t=4.478, P<0.01). In the NSSI group, the total score of ISMI demonstrated a positive correlation with the total score of SADS and the behavioral questionnaire score in ANSAQ (r=0.644, 0.316, P<0.01), and a negative correlation with the total score of SES (r=-0.724, P<0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that NSSI severity (β=0.132, P<0.05) and social avoidance/distress (β=0.309, P<0.01) were found to be positive predictors of the self-stigma, whereas self-esteem (β=-0.493, P<0.01) was a significant negative predictor of the self-stigma. Additionally, self-esteem and social avoidance/distress partially mediated the relationship between NSSI and self-stigma, with a mediating effect of 0.237 (95% CI: 0.103~0.374), which constituted 55.89% of the total effect. The mediating effect included two paths: NSSI behavior→self-esteem→self-stigma (effect size was 0.163, 95% CI: 0.069~0.273) and NSSI behavior→self-esteem→social avoidance/distress→self-stigma (effect size was 0.063, 95% CI: 0.020~0.119). ConclusionThe severity of NSSI can affect self-stigma in adolescents with mood disorders either directly through mediating self-esteem or indirectly through the chained mediation path of self-esteem and social avoidance/distress.[Funded by Scientific Research Projects of Wuhu Fourth People's Hospital in 2000(number,kjxm202203)]

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of clustered influenza-like illness (ILI) outbreaks in Yangpu District, Shanghai from 2012 to 2022, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating specific prevention and control measures of influenza in this district. MethodsData on clustered ILI outbreaks from 2012 to 2022 were collected, and the epidemiological pattern of the cluster outbreaks of influenza and its influencing factors of prevalence and duration were explored using statistical methods such as descriptive epidemiology, χ² test and logistic regression analysis. ResultsA total of 60 clustered ILI outbreaks were reported in Yangpu District, Shanghai from 2012 to 2022, with a cumulative number of 543 cases and an annual average incidence rate of 16.96%. The male-to-female ratio was1.06∶1. The largest number of ILI were reported in 2019, mainly from November to January of the next year, with December being the peak of outbreaks. The Streets of Changhai Rd. in Yangpu District had the largest number of reported outbreaks, accounting for 30.00% of the total outbreaks. Influenza cluster outbreaks occurred in schools, with the majority of outbreaks and cases reported in primary schools (accounting for 65.00% and 62.06% of the total, respectively). The outbreaks were mainly caused by influenza B virus, accounting for 50% of the total number of outbreaks. The prevalence rate of influenza cluster outbreaks varied among different schools in terms of their affiliated streets, school attributes and school types, with those in Kongjiang Rd. Subdistrict, private schools, and childcare institutions being relatively high. The duration of outbreaks reported for >2 days was longer than those reported for ≤2 days (OR=8.604, 95%CI: 1.509–49.067). ConclusionThe ILI outbreaks in Yangpu District present a seasonal pattern, with primary schools and Changhai Rd. Street as the targeted places for implementing prevention and control measures. Timely detection and reporting and active disposal can prevent a further spread of the outbreaks.

Mitochondria play a crucial role as organelles, managing several physiological processes such as redox balance, cell metabolism, and energy synthesis. Initially, the assumption was that mitochondria primarily resided in the host cells and could exclusively transmit from oocytes to offspring by a mechanism known as vertical inheritance of mitochondria. Recent scholarly works, however, suggest that certain cell types transmit their mitochondria to other developmental cell types via a mechanism referred to as intercellular or horizontal mitochondrial transfer. This review details the process of which mitochondria are transferred across cells and explains the impact of mitochondrial transfer between cells on the efficacy and functionality of cancer cells in various cancer forms. Specifically, we review the role of mitochondria transfer in regulating cellular metabolism restoration, excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, mitophagy activation, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance, immune system modulation and therapeutic resistance in cancer. Additionally, we highlight the possibility of using intercellular mitochondria transfer as a therapeutic approach to treat cancer and enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments.
