Objective: To investigate the characteristics of psychological symptoms and the associated factors among students with close contact to tuberculosis in school settings,so as to provide evidence for school tuberculosis control and mental health interventions. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in April 2023 from 4 schools in Hangzhou using a multistage cluster random sampling method. Students identified as close contacts of tuberculosis cases ( n =406) were assigned to the exposure group, while non close contact students ( n =426) were matched at a 1∶1 ratio within the same schools as the non exposure group. A questionnaire survey was employed to collect data on general demographic and family sociological information. Psychological symptoms were assessed using the Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90). A global severity index (GSI) score ≥2.0 was defined as moderate to severe psychological symptoms (MSPS). Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associated factors. Results: The overall MSPS detection rate was 15.38%. The detection rate in the exposure group (20.69%) was significantly higher than the non exposure group (10.33%)( χ 2=17.14, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that middle or lower family economic status ( OR =1.90, 95% CI =1.10-3.28) and poor interaction with others ( OR =2.95, 95% CI =1.79-4.88) were independent factors associated with MSPS among the exposure group (both P <0.05). Conclusions Students who are close contacts of school tuberculosis cases have a relatively high MSPS detection rate. Poor family economic status and poor interaction with social personnel are the main factors influencing MSPS. Schools should simultaneously strengthen psychological health support targeting factors in tuberculosis prevention and control.

Objective To explore the mediating role of intolerance of uncertainty(IU)and moderating role of the negative emotion differentiation in the influence of perceived stress on anxiety among college students from a cognitive perspective.Methods A total of 271 participants were surveyed using the perceived stress scale,intolerance of uncertainty scale,depression anxiety and stress scale(Chinese version),and the test on negative emotional differentiation.SPSS 22.0 was used to perform descriptive statistics and correlation analyses and to test the moderated mediation model.Results Perceived stress affected anxiety and IU played a mediating role-perceived stress could affect anxiety through influencing IU.At the same time,the influence of IU on anxiety could be adjusted through the negative emotion differentiation.The higher the degree of negative emotion differentiation,the lower the degree of anxiety increase(β=0.17,t=5.70,P＜0.01).Conclusion It may be effective to develop training programs to reduce anxiety by regulating perceived stress,increasing acceptance of uncertainty,and improving the negative emotion differentiation,which can help individuals reduce anxiety by perceiving and adjusting anxiety-related emotional or cognitive factors in a timely manner.

Three recipients with portal vein thrombosis experienced insufficient blood flow to transplanted liver due to residual thrombus after thrombectomy during liver transplantation. Alternative measures posed significant risks or technical challenges. To promptly restore blood flow, intraoperative intervention was performed via round ligament of donor liver for managing residual portal vein thrombus. Balloon dilation and vascular stenting effectively relieved local stenosis. After intervention, portal vein flow rate and volume fulfilled the standards and function of transplanted liver recovered smoothly. Follow-ups revealed unobstructed stents and no new thrombus formation. This simple, safe and efficacious technique has not been previously reported in the literature.

Objective:To investigate the brain activity and related hypoxic indicators in early cognitive processing stage (200-600 ms) and late cognitive processing stage (600-1 000 ms) by comparing their cognitive processing in pilots performed classical Stroop task under hypoxic state.Methods:Fifteen male Air Force pilots who were qualified in aeromedical assessment were selected. The behavioral indicators (accuracy, response time), event related potentials (ERP) component metrics (N2), and spectral metrics (Alpha band, Beta band) were monitored and analyzed when the pilots complete the cognitive conflict control task in the simulated 5 000 m hypoxic state and normal state.Results:The main effect of relationship type factors in response time indicators was significant ( F=4.10, P=0.027), and no difference found in accuracy indicators (all P>0.05). The reaction time under conflict conditions was (543.360±21.202) ms, which was higher than the reaction time under consistent conditions (509.078±14.420) ms, and the difference was significant ( F=3.28, P=0.039). The reaction time under unrelated conditions was (521.697±15.073) ms, and there was no significant difference between the reaction time under consistent and conflicting conditions (all P>0.05). Hypoxic status resulted in a significant increases in early stage indicator N2 amplitude ( F=5.34, P=0.037), and the power of Alpha, Low beta and Mid beta of late stage ( F=7.76, 5.34, 4.92, P=0.015, 0.037, 0.044). Conclusions:The amplitude of N2 can be used as the ERP indicator to investigate the pilots′ brain activities at the early stage of cognitive processing under hypoxia state; Alpha, Low beta and Mid beta bands of the spectrum can be used as the indicators to evaluate the brain activity of pilots in the late stage of cognitive processing under hypoxia state, which can be used in the training evaluation of pilots to provide more objective physiological data to improve the training effect of pilots.

Osteosarcomas are the most common primary malignant bone tumors in children and adolescents. Osteolysis is a common feature of all osteosarcomas (traditional, intramedullary, and periosteum). However, the specific mechanism of osteolysis is unknown and many researchers have studied it from different perspectives. Osteolysis is a process in which physiological bone remodeling is disrupted and excessive bone resorption occurs. Osteoclasts, the only cells with bone resorption function in the human body, play a key role in the pathological process of osteolysis in osteosarcomas. Osteoclasts play a leading role in osteolysis by secreting a high concentration of acid and collagenase, and they also mediate the occurrence and development of osteolysis in osteosarcoma through synergistic interaction with osteosarcoma cells. At the same time, osteolysis is an essential part of the pathological process of osteosarcoma, which can promote the occurrence and development of osteosarcoma and form a vicious cycle. Inhibiting osteolysis is of great significance to break this cycle and prevent the occurrence and development of osteosarcoma. However, the specific regulatory mechanism between osteosarcoma cells and osteoclasts and whether other cells in osteosarcoma are also involved in this pathological process remain unclear. Currently, bisphosphonates, small molecule inhibitors and natural compounds are the main drugs used to treat osteolysis of osteosarcoma. However, their efficacy and mechanism are still in the early stage of research. Previous studies on neoplastic osteolysis have mostly focused on metastatic bone tumors. Recently, studies on osteolysis of osteosarcoma have attracted more and more attention. The mechanism of osteoclasts and osteosarcoma cells in tumor-mediated osteolysis and the status of drug therapy of these two cell types as therapeutic targets are reviewed and analyzed. A deeper understanding of the role of osteolysis in the initiation and development of osteosarcoma will provide a theoretical basis and direction for the treatment of osteolysis in the context of osteosarcoma.

A 54-year-old female patient with aortic dissection received parenteral nutrition treatments due to malnutrition risk, including IV infusions of fat emulsion amino acid (17) and glucose (11%) injection 1 440 ml once daily, compound amino acid injection (18 AA-II) 250 ml once daily, and medium and long chain fat emulsion injection (C6-24) 250 ml once daily. Other treatments included drugs to maintain blood pressure and control heart rate, analgesics, 10% potassium chloride injection, etc. The laboratory tests before treatments showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 36 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 35 U/L, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) 51 U/L, total bilirubin (TBil) 8.3 μmol/L, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 129 U/L. After 8 days of parenteral nutrition treatments, laboratory tests showed ALT 343 U/L, AST 357 U/L, γ-GT 343 U/L, TBil 21.4 μmol/L, and ALP 376 U/L. The liver injury caused by parenteral nutrition was considered. Parenteral nutrition was stopped, other treatments were continued, and liver-protective treatments such as glutathione combined with diethylamine dichloroacetate were given. Eight days later, the laboratory test showed ALT 42 U/L, AST 29 U/L, γ-GT 55 U/L, TBil 8.4 μmol/L, and ALP 107 U/L.
