Objective: To explore the effects of personality and sleep quality with psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents, so as to provide a reference basis for precise interventions of junior and senior high school students mental health. Methods: In October 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 9 034 students aged 12-17 from Shiyan City as the study subjects. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to collect information on sleep quality and psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Between group comparison was conducted by using t-test and Chi-square test. Generalized linear models were employed to analyze the interaction and joint effects of personality and sleep quality on psychological distress. Results: The generalized linear model analysis showed that the interaction between personality and sleep quality on psychological distress was statistically significant of junior and senior high school students(effect size=0.80, P <0.01). The general linear model analysis indicated that, after adjusting for variables such as age, gender, screen time, and daily sitting time with the extroverted and good sleep quality group as the reference, the introverted and poor sleep quality group had the largest mean difference in psychological distress scores (difference=0.51, P <0.05). When stratified by sleep quality, psychological distress scores were higher in the introverted and neutral personality groups with both poor and good sleep quality compared to the extroverted group (poor sleep quality: introverted difference=3.71, neutral difference=1.14; good sleep quality: introverted difference=2.23, neutral difference=0.57, all P < 0.05). When stratified by personality, psychological distress scores were higher in the poor sleep quality groups for introverted, neutral, and extroverted individuals compared to their good sleep quality counterparts (differences=8.66, 7.83, 7.34, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Personality and sleep quality have interactive and joint effects on psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Personalized psychological interventions should be developed based on personality and sleep quality.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax and its influencing factors in patients with acute myeloid leukemia （AML）. METHODS After 5 days of venetoclax administration， venous blood samples were collected from AML patients before the next dose. Plasma trough concentrations of venetoclax were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Spearman correlation was used to assess the correlations between venetoclax plasma trough concentration and various parameters （including patients’ general information， venetoclax-related indicators， liver function indicators， kidney function indicators， and blood routine indicators）. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Using efficacy as dependent variable [complete remission （CR）+partial remission （PR） vs. no remission （NR）]， univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors affecting efficacy. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of venetoclax plasma trough concentration for clinical efficacy （assessed as CR）. RESULTS A total of 172 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 101 patients were included in this study. The median plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 2.38 （1.18， 3.85） μg/mL； the median sampling time for plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 10 （7， 15） d； the duration of venetoclax use was （34±12） d. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that alkaline phosphatase （ B ＝14.65， 95%CI： 5.35-23.95， P ＝0.002）， total bilirubin （ B ＝－101.71， 95%CI： －197.16 to －6.25， P ＝0.037）， and white blood cell count （ B ＝－106.84， 95%CI： －187.61 to －26.07， P ＝0.010） were independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Due to patient attrition during treatment， 114 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 69 patients were included for efficacy evaluation. The results showed that 46 patients （66.7%） achieved CR， 11 patients （15.9%） achieved PR， and 12 patients （17.4%） were NR. Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age， hemoglobin， venetoclax plasma trough concentration， hematocrit， and mean corpuscular hemoglobin were independent factors affecting patient efficacy （ P ＜0.05）. ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax for predicting patient efficacy （assessed as CR） was 1.68 μg/mL （AUC＝0.66， 95%CI： 0.54-0.78， P ＝0.014）. CONCLUSIONS There is considerable inter-individual variability in plasma trough concentration of venetoclax among AML patients. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is significantly correlated with alkaline phosphatase， total bilirubin， and white blood cell count. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is an independent factor affecting patient’s efficacy， and when the cut-off value for predicting CR is above 1.68 μg/mL， better effects may be achieved.

ObjectivesTo investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics of HIV-1 infection among men who had sex with men (MSM) in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, and to provide a scientific reference for acquired immune deficiency syndrome prevention and control efforts. MethodsThe research subjects were all newly reported MSM population in Taizhou City from 2020 to 2023. Blood samples without antiviral therapy were collected. The HIV-1 pol gene was amplified and sequenced, and the sequences were submitted to the Stanford University drug resistance database to identify the mutation sites and drug resistance. MEGA 11.0 software was used to analyze the nucleic acid sequences, construct phylogenetic tree, and calculate genetic distance of gene sequences. The molecular transmission network diagram of HIV-1 was constructed using Cytoscape_v3.10.1, and the influencing factors of network entry were analyzed by logistic regression. ResultsA total of 363 newly reported HIV-infected MSM patients were included, with a median age [M (P₂₅, P₇₅)] of 34 (26,47) years old. The majority had an educational level of junior high school or below (55.65%). A total of eight subtypes were found, mainly CRF07_BC and CRF01_AE. The primary drug resistance rate was 10.47% (38/363). The optimal molecular network gene distance was 0.019, with a network access rate of 42.70% (155/363), and a total of 47 molecular clusters were formed. Multivariate logistic analyses showed that compared with the CRF01_AE subtype, the clustering risk of CRF07_BC subtype was higher (OR=1.916, 95%CI: 1.191‒3.109), cases with drug resistance had a higher risk of cluster formation than those without drug resistance (OR=2.011, 95%CI: 1.006‒4.080), and recent infected patients had a lower risk of entering the largest molecular cluster than long-term infected patients (OR=0.376, 95%CI: 0.137‒0.928). ConclusionThe newly diagnosed infections among the MSM population are active in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, with a high level of primary drug resistance. Individuals carrying drug-resistant strains are more likely to cluster. Drug resistance monitoring should be strengthened to prevent further spread of drug-resistant strains in the network.

Attention refers to the body's capacity to maintain alert awareness of internal and external stimuli.Attention deficit can impair an individual's learning capacity and working proficiency,resulting in a heavy burden to the family and society.Vagus nerve stimulation(VNS)is an emerging neuro regulatory technique that can achieve reciprocal interaction between the central and peripheral nervous systems,which has demonstrated great potential for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases;however,it has not been used clinically to treat attention-deficient developmental disorders in children or neurodegenerative diseases in the aged population.We briefly review the anatomical and physiological bases of VNS,and its application status and potential use in treating attention deficit diseases.A potential mechanism by which VNS participates in attention-related nervous regulation is proposed,to lay a theoretical foundation for the application of VNS in the field of attention nervous regulation.

Objective:Micro-and nanostructures with sharp disordered and rounded ordered features were fabricated on titanium surfaces,respectively,and their osteogenic potential was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo.Methods:Sharp disordered titanium surfaces(SLA-Ti)and rounded ordered titanium surfaces(Laser-Ti)were prepared using sandblast acid etching and high-repeti-tion-rate femtosecond laser,respectively.Smooth titanium(Ti)was used as the control group,SLA-Ti and Laser-Ti were used as the experimental groups.Characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy coupled with hydrophilicity assess-ments.The adhesion,elongation,and osteogenic differentiation capabilities of osteoblasts in vitro were evaluated through cell mor-phology observations,cytoskeletal fluorescence staining,cell viability assays,and PCR experiments.Osteogenic potential in vivo of rabbits was assessed through Micro CT scans and histological staining(HE and Masson).Results:The surface of Laser-Ti exhibits a rounded,ordered,multi-scale micro-and nano-morphology with the best hydrophilicity(P＜0.01).In vitro,it promotes cell adhe-sion,extension,and osteogenic differentiation,while in vivo,it enhances bone regeneration around the implants.Overall,a trend of Laser-Ti＞SLA-Ti＞Ti is observed,with a higher bone volume fraction(BV/TV)(P＜0.05),greater trabecular thickness(Tb.Th)(P＜0.05),an increased number of trabeculae(Tb.N)(P＜0.05),and a larger area of bone around the implants(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The rounded ordered micro-and nano-structures fabricated using high-repetition-rate fem-tosecond laser demonstrate enhanced osteoinductive capac-ity both in vitro and in vivo.

Objective To investigate the effect of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)on the proliferation and stem-ness of human dental pulp stem cells(hDPSCs)silencing with integrin α6(ITGA6).Methods ITGA6 silencing lentivirus was used to interfere the ITGA6 expression of hDPSCs,and its silencing efficiency was detected.Then HUVECs were added to the chambers to co-culture,and the experiments were divided into four groups(sh-NC,sh-ITGA6,sh-NC+HUVECs and sh-ITGA6+HUVECs).hDP-SCs in the sh-NC and sh-ITGA6 groups were transfected with sh-NC and sh-ITGA6 respectively.hDPSCs transfected with sh-NC and sh-ITGA6 were co-cultured with HUVECs in the sh-NC+HUVECs group and sh-ITGA6+HUVECs group respectively.The proliferation capacity of hDPSCs of each group was examined by CCK-8 and EdU on day 7.Immunofluorescence detected the expression of Stro-1,and Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of Oct4 and Nanog.Results ①Fluorescence microscopy showed that the trans-fection efficiency was about 80％.Real-time PCR and Western blot results showed that sh-ITGA6 lentivirus effectively interfered with ITGA6 expression in hDPSCs.②CCK-8 results showed that on day 5 of co-culture,the proliferation ability of the sh-ITGA6+HUVECs group was superior to that of the sh-ITGA6 group(P＜0.05);on day 7,the proliferation ability of the sh-NC+HUVECs and sh-ITGA6+HUVECs group was superior to that of the sh-NC and sh-ITGA6 group(P＜0.05).EdU results showed that the DNA synthesis ability of hDPSCs in the co-culture group was significantly stronger than that in the single-culture group(P＜0.05).③Immunofluorescence stai-ning revealed that the expression of Stro-1 in the co-culture group was significantly stronger than that in the single-culture group.④Re-al-time PCR results showed that the expression of Oct4 in the co-culture group was higher than that in the single-culture group(P＜0.05);the expression of Nanog in hDPSCs with sh-ITGA6 was elevated by the addition of HUVECs co-culture(P＜0.05).Conclusion HUVECs significantly enhance the proliferation and stemness of hDPSCs silencing integrin α6.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the correlation between inflammatory markers in complete blood counts(CBC)and influenza A virus infection in patients visited the outpatient department of Nanjing First Hospital.Methods The suspected influenza A virus infection patients visited the outpatient department of Nanjing First Hospital from February to March 2023 were collected and di-vided into the positive and negative groups based on the detection results of influenza A virus antigen.The differences in inflammatory markers in CBC between the two groups were compared.The Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between inflammatory markers and influenza A virus infection.Meanwhile,the restricted cubic spline(RCS)and age subgroup(≤6 years,7-12 years,13-17 years,and ≥18 years)analysis were also performed.Results A total of 1 487 outpatients were included,of which 404(27.2％)were positive for influenza A virus antigen.The Logistic regression analysis showed that white blood cell count(WBC),lymphocyte percentage(LY％),and lymphocyte count(LYM)were significantly negatively correlated with influenza A virus infection(P＜0.01),while the neutrophil percentage(NE％),monocyte/lymphocyte ratio(MLR),and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR)were significantly positively correlated with influenza A virus infection(P＜0.01).The RCS analysis exhibited the same trend.The age subgroup analysis showed that when the age was greater than 6 years,LYM was significantly negatively correlated with influenza A virus infection(P＜0.01).When the age was greater than 12 years,MLR was significantly positively correlated with influenza A virus infec-tion(P＜0.01).Conclusion The WBC,LY％,LYM,NE％,MLR,and NLR in CBC parameters are important indicators associated with the occurrence of Influenza A virus infection,especially LYM in patients aged over 6 years and MLR in patients aged over 12 years,which may serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of influenza A virus infection.

Purpose To investigate the predictive value of the methylation regulator heterogeneous nuclear ribonu-cleoprotein C(HNRNPC)in the extracellular vesicles(EVs)derived from cervical cancer cells for tumor invasion and metastasis.Methods In vitro experiments were conducted using a human normal cervical epithelial cell line(Hcer-Epic),three cervical cancer cell lines(HeLa,SiHa and CaSki)and human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HU-VECs).HNRNPC protein expression was assessed by Western blot.CaSki cells were transfected with either sh-NC or sh-HNRNPC,and EVs were subsequently isolated from culture supernatant.The effects of EVs on the proliferation,migration and invasion of SiHa cells,as well as on angiogenesis in HUVECs,were investigated respectively.For tissue microarray analysis,normal cervical tissues(n=8),low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL,n=32)and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL,n=37),and cervical carcinoma specimens(n=153)were ob-tained from our institution.Based on HNRNPC immunoscores,cervical cancer patients were divided into two groups:high(n=99)and low(n=54)HNRNPC expression group,and their clinicopathological features and prognosis were compared.Results Compared with HcerEpic cells,the expression of HNRNPC increased in SiHa,HeLa and CaSki cells.In SiHa cells treated with EVs from CaSki cell,the group receiving EVs from sh-HNRNPC-transfected CaSki cells showed significantly reduced proliferation,colony formation,migration,and invasion compared with the sh-NC-EVs group(P＜0.05).Similarly,in HUVECs treated with CaSki-EVs,compared with sh-NC-EVs group,the sh-HNRNPC-EVs group demonsteated significantly lower protein expression of PCNA and VEGFA and reduced angiogene-sis length(P＜0.05).HNRNPC expression gradually increased during the transformation of cervical epithelial cells(F=106.9,P＜0.001),and was significantlyelevated in HSIL and cervical cancer tissues compared with normal tis-sues(P＜0.001).Moreover,in cervical cancer,high HNRNPC expression was significantly related to poorer cellular differentiation,larger tumor size,parametrial and vaginal infiltration,advanced FIGO stage,and pelvic lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that that patients with high HNRNPC expression had significant-ly shorter overall survival post-surgery compared with those with low expression(P＜0.05).Conclusion EVs contai-ning HNRNPC contribute to cervical cancer progression by promoting tumor growth,invasion,and angiogenesis,there-by accelerating metastasis.In addition,high HNRNPC expression in cervical cancer tissue is related to poor prognosis of patients,indicating that EV-associated HNRNPC may serve as a potential therapeutic target.
