BackgroundThe middle school stage represents a crucial period for the development of borderline personality features. Negative parenting styles and emotional regulation strategies are associated with the formation of borderline personality features. However， the moderating role of emotional regulation strategies between negative parenting styles and borderline personality features among middle school students remains unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the moderating influence of emotional regulation strategies in the relationship between negative parenting styles and borderline personality features among middle school students， and to provide references for the intervention of borderline personality features. MethodsIn October 2023， a total of 5 965 middle school students from three middle schools in Nanning， Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were selected by cluster sampling， and assessed by the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children （BPFS-C）， the Egna Minnen Barndoms Uppfostran （EMBU）， and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Chinese Revised Version （ERQ-CRV）. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between the scores of each scale， and the model 1 of the Process macro program was used to conduct the moderating effect test. ResultsA total of 5 572 middle school students （93.41%） completed this study， and 1 388 of them （24.91%） were identified as having high borderline personality features. The BPFS-C score of middle school students was positively correlated with the score of the negative parenting style dimension of EMBU （r=0.367， P<0.01）， negatively correlated with the score of the cognitive reappraisal dimension of ERQ-CRV （r=-0.168， P<0.01）， and positively correlated with the score of the expression inhibition dimension of ERQ-CRV （r=0.344， P<0.01）. Cognitive reappraisal played a negative moderating effect between negative parenting styles and borderline personality features （β=-0.072， 95% CI： -0.104–-0.041， P<0.01）， while expressive suppression played a positive moderating effect （β=0.076， 95% CI： 0.055–0.097， P<0.01）. ConclusionCognitive reappraisal strategy may help mitigate the negative influence of negative parenting styles on middle school students' borderline personality features， while expressive suppression may exacerbate the harm of negative parenting styles to the borderline personality features of middle school students.

Olfactory receptors (ORs) form the largest superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Traditionally recognized for their role in the nasal olfactory epithelium, where they mediate the sense of smell, accumulating evidence has firmly established their ectopic expression in non-olfactory tissues, including the intestine, lungs, and kidneys. The intestine, as the primary site for nutrient digestion and absorption, harbors a highly complex chemical environment. To adapt to this environment, the gut employs a sophisticated network of “chemosensors” to monitor luminal contents and maintain homeostasis. Among these sensors, intestinal ORs have emerged as crucial functional components, serving as a molecular bridge that connects environmental chemical signals—such as food-derived odorants—to specific physiological responses. This discovery has significantly deepened our understanding of how dietary flavors and compounds influence intestinal physiology at the molecular level. This review systematically summarizes the expression profiles, ligand classification, and biological functions of ORs within the gastrointestinal tract. Studies indicate that intestinal ORs exhibit distinct spatial distribution patterns across different gut segments and display cell-type specificity, particularly within enterocytes and enteroendocrine cells. These receptors function as versatile sensors capable of recognizing a wide variety of ligands, including exogenous dietary components, gut microbiota metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, and endogenous small molecules like azelaic acid. Upon activation by specific ligands, intestinal ORs trigger intracellular signaling cascades, primarily involving the AC-cAMP-PKA pathway or calcium influx channels. A major focus of this review is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which these receptors regulate the secretion of gut hormones. Activation of specific ORs in enteroendocrine cells has been shown to stimulate the release of hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and serotonin (5-HT), thereby modulating systemic energy metabolism, glucose homeostasis, and gastrointestinal motility. Furthermore, the review addresses the critical roles of ORs in immune regulation and pathology. Evidence suggests that specific ORs contribute to the maintenance of intestinal immune homeostasis and may offer protection against inflammation. Beyond their involvement in inflammatory responses, ORs such as Olfr78 have been shown to regulate the differentiation and function of intestinal endocrine cells. Similarly, Olfr544 has been demonstrated to alleviate intestinal inflammation by remodeling the gut microbiome and metabolome. These findings collectively suggest that specific ORs hold promise as therapeutic targets for mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining gut homeostasis. Additionally, the review explores the emerging role of ORs in cancer. Although OR expression is often downregulated in tumor tissues compared to normal mucosa, activation of specific ORs by certain ligands can inhibit tumor cell proliferation and migration and induce apoptosis via pathways such as MEK/ERK and p38 MAPK. Conversely, other receptors, such as OR7C1, may serve as biomarkers for cancer-initiating cells. In conclusion, intestinal ORs represent a vital component of the gut’s sensory network. The review also discusses the translational potential of these findings. By elucidating the precise pairing relationships between dietary components and specific ORs, novel therapeutic strategies could be developed. Intestinal ORs may thus emerge as promising targets for nutritional and pharmacological interventions in metabolic diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, and malignancies.

ObjectivePhotoacoustic pump-probe imaging can effectively eliminate the interference of blood background signal in traditional photoacoustic imaging, and realize the imaging of weak phosphorescence molecules and their triplet lifetimes in deep tissues. However, background differential noise in photoacoustic pump-probe imaging often leads to large fitting results of phosphorescent molecule concentration and triplet lifetime. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel triplet lifetime fitting method for photoacoustic pump-probe imaging. By extracting the phase of the triplet differential signal and the background noise, the fitting bias caused by the background noise can be effectively corrected. MethodsThe advantages and feasibility of the proposed algorithm are verified by numerical simulation, phantom and in vivo experiments, respectively. ResultsIn the numerical simulation, under the condition of noise intensity being 10% of the signal amplitude, the new method can optimize the fitting deviation from 48.5% to about 5%, and has a higher exclusion coefficient (0.88>0.79), which greatly improves the fitting accuracy. The high specificity imaging ability of photoacoustic pump imaging for phosphorescent molecules has been demonstrated by phantom experiments. In vivo experiments have verified the feasibility of the new fitting method proposed in this paper for fitting phosphoometric lifetime to monitor oxygen partial pressure content during photodynamic therapy of tumors in nude mice. ConclusionThis work will play an important role in promoting the application of photoacoustic pump-probe imaging in biomedicine.

Objective:To examine the clinical effect of the enlarged anterior cervical intervertebral cone-shape decompression and fusion(EACDF) for treating degenerative cervical kyphosis (DCK).Methods:This study is a retrospective case series research. From September 2018 to September 2023, the data of 51 patients with DCK who underwent EACDF at Department of Orthopaedics, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Naval Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. Among the 51 patients, there were 28 males and 23 females, with an age of (61.6±9.8) years old (range:39 to 74 years), and an body mass index of (25.9±2.7) kg/m 2 (range:20.7 to 31.7 kg/m 2). Patients underwent EACDF with expanded decompression by distracted intervertebral space, partial resections of posterior edge of vertebral body and uncinate vertebral joint. The operation duration, blood loss and length of hospital stay were recorded. The visual analog scale (VAS) of neck pain and arm pain, cervical disability index (NDI), and modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score were recorded in patients before and immediately after surgery, as well as at follow-up. Imaging parameters such as C 2-7 Cobb angle of cervical global curvature, Cobb angle at the operative segment, C 2-7 sagittal vertical axis (C 2-7 SVA), T 1 slope and the height of operative segment were measured. The fusion rate and surgical complications of two groups were recorded. Fourty-five patients who underwent anterior cervical corpectomy with fusion (ACCF) during the same period were included to compare the effectiveness of deformity correction between the two groups. Repeated measures ANOVA was used for intra group data comparison and Dunnett- t test was used for pairwise comparison, and mixed design ANOVA was used for inter group data comparison. Results:All patients were successfully completed the operation. The follow-up period after surgery was (40.4±13.4) months (range:12 to 72 months). The neck pain and arm pain VAS, NDI and JOA in the two groups immediately after surgery, at 2 months, 12 months after surgery, and the final follow-up were significantly improved compared with those before operation (all P<0.05). In both groups, postoperative the C 2-7 Cobb angle, Cobb angle at the operative segment, C 2-7 SVA, T 1 slope, and height of operative segment were significantly improved immediately after surgery, at 2 months, 12 months, and the final follow-up (all P<0.05). The C 2-7 Cobb angle, Cobb angle at the operative segment, and height of operative segment immediately after surgery, at 2 months, 12 months, and the final follow-up in the EACDF group were significantly higher than those in the ACCF group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in C 2-7 SVA and T 1 slope between the two groups(all P>0.05). At the final follow-up, the angle of every intervertebral space correction in the EACDF group was (9.3±1.6) °(range:6.5° to 12.3°), while in the ACCF group was (3.1±1.8) °(range:1.2° to 5.6°), with a significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). Patients at the both groups got bone graft fusion at the final follow-up. Conclusions:The clinical effect of EACDF for treating DCK is satisfactory. EACDF maybe superior to ACCF in restoring intervertebral height, correcting and maintaining cervical curvature.
