Objective: To understand the impact of left behind experience on the mental health of secondary vocational school students, so as to provide theoretical basis for the psychological health education of secondary vocational school students. Methods: From September to December in 2019, a total of 3 401 students from Duyun, Guiding and Pingtang County were selected by multi stage cluster random sampling method. Self designed questionnaire and Symptom Check List-90(SCL-90) were used to investigate mental health status. A total of 1 415 left behind students and 1 415 non left behind students were matched by using propensity score matching (PSM). Wilcoxon test and Logistic regression analysis were conducted. Results: Before the matching of propensity score, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of family structure, mother s educational level, family residence,family harmony and children s past health among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=28.17, 52.40, 96.31, 29.75 , 19.10, P <0.05). After the matching, there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of the above variables among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=0.02-4.32, P >0.05). Before the matching of propensity scores, there were significant differences in the scores of 10 dimensions of SCL-90, including somatization (1.67,1.58), interpersonal sensitivity (2.00,1.89), anxiety (1.90,1.70), obsessive compulsive symptoms (2.20, 2.10), depression (2.00, 1.85), hostility (1.83, 1.67), terror (1.85, 1.71), paranoia (1.83, 1.67), psychotic (1.70, 1.60) and other (1.85, 1.71) dimensions among secondary vocational school students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-5.15 to -2.84, P <0.05). After propensity score matching, there were significant differences in scores remained only in three factors for interpersonal sensitivity [(2.00(1.56,2.67)，2.00(1.44,2.56)], paranoia [1.83(1.33,2.50)，1.83(1.33,2.33)] and psychoticism [1.70(1.30,2.30)，1.70(1.20,2.20)] in SCL- 90 among secondary vocational students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-2.45, -2.12, -2.23, P <0.05). Conclusion The impact of left behind experience on the mental health of vocational school students is mainly reflected in interpersonal sensitivity, paranoia, and psychoticism, which should be identified as key areas of psychological education for secondary vocational school students.

First metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis, as a corrective measure for severe hallux valgus deformity, has a long history and remains in use today. Indications for the first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis include severe hallux valgus deformity, recurrent hallux valgus, hallux deformity in rheumatoid arthritis, severe hallux rigidus, joint infection, primary or secondary osteoarthritis, hallux valgus deformity due to neuromuscular disorders, and severe gouty arthritis. Innovative research continues to emerge in biomechanics and materials science related to the first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis. Surgical fixation options are diverse and evolving, encompassing traditional screws and plates alongside novel intramedullary fixation systems and shape-memory alloy implants. Biomechanical studies, gait analysis research, and clinical trials consistently demonstrate minimal postoperative impact on gait and no significant impairment of functional mobility. When performed with proper technique, complications are rare. The first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis is an effective and reliable method for treating severe hallux valgus deformity.

OBJECTIVE: To compare effectiveness of multiple metatarsal osteotomy versus first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis in treating severe metatarsal adductus hallux valgus deformity. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 25 patients with severe metatarsal adductus hallux valgus deformity admitted between June 2010 and May 2014 who met the selective criteria. Among them, 15 patients underwent multiple metatarsal osteotomy (osteotomy group), while 10 patients underwent first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis (fusion group). There was no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05) in gender, age, disease duration, affected side, preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, intermetatarsal angle (IMA), hallux valgus angle (HVA), or metatarsal adduction angle (MAA). The osteotomy group underwent fixation with screws and/or staples fixation, while the fusion group utilized anatomic fusion plates and trans-articular compression screws. The study compared the following outcome indicators between groups: operation time, pre- and post-operative differences (change values) in AOFAS scores, VAS scores, and radiographic parameters (HVA, MAA), osteotomy healing outcomes, and recurrence of hallux valgus deformity. RESULTS: Both surgical procedures were completed successfully. The operation time was significantly shorter in the fusion group than in the osteotomy group ( P<0.05). All patients were followed up 96-144 months (mean, 116 months). The follow-up time was (129.1±7.2) months in the osteotomy group and (104.4±8.0) months in the fusion group, with no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05). X-ray films revealed the radiographic union in two groups, and the fusion time was significantly shorter in the fusion group than in the osteotomy group ( P<0.05). At last follow-up, both groups demonstrated significant improvements in AOFAS and VAS scores compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.05). However, the differences in the change values of AOFAS and VAS scores between groups were not significant ( P>0.05). During follow-up, 3 cases (20%) of deformity recurrence occurred in the osteotomy group, while no recurrence was observed in the fusion group. There was no significant difference in the incidences of deformity recurrence between groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION For severe metatarsus adductus hallux valgus deformities, both multiple metatarsal osteotomy and first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis can correct the deformity. The former preserves metatarsophalangeal joint mobility but demands high technical proficiency from the surgeon, involves relatively longer operation times, extended bone healing periods, and higher complication incidences. The latter procedure is relatively simpler, facilitates faster postoperative recovery, allows early weight-bearing, and yields more reliable outcomes, though it sacrifices first metatarsophalangeal joint mobility.

The high incidence of bleeding after peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheterization increases the risk of puncture site infection and unplanned extubation. Hemostatic dressings should be used in the early stages of catheterization to reduce blood infiltration. However, new hemostatic dressings have various types and advantages, which makes them difficult to choose dressings for medical staff. This paper introduces the types and hemostatic characteristics of novel functional hemostatic dressings, reviews the hemostatic mechanism and hemostatic effect of chitosan, cyanoacrylate gum, alginate, gelatin sponge and oxycellulose dressings in PICC puncture respectively, and prospects the development of new functional hemostatic dressings. It is expected that future hemostatic dressings will move towards multifunctionality and compositeness.

Retained products of conception (RPOC) represent a common pregnancy-related condition that may lead to complications such as abnormal uterine bleeding, infection, secondary arteriovenous fistula, intrauterine adhesions, and infertility. Currently, the main clinical treatments for RPOC include surgical intervention, medical therapy, and expectant management, sometimes supplemented by high-intensity focused ultrasound or uterine artery embolization when necessary. However, no standardized treatment guidelines exist. Medical and expectant management may help some patients avoid or reduce the need for surgery, though these approaches often involve a prolonged disease course. While surgery yields rapid results, patients with large lesions may require multiple procedures, increasing the risk of endometrial damage and intrauterine adhesions. There is still a lack of robust evidence-based guidance for selecting the optimal or individualized treatment approach. This review explores recent advances in the management of RPOC, with an emphasis on strategies that effectively preserve the endometrium, safeguard fertility, and support more precise, minimally invasive, and efficient personalized treatment.

OBJECTIVE To explore the improvement effect and mechanism of petroleum ether extract of Saposhnikovia divaricata on rheumatoid arthritis （RA） rats by regulating neutrophil extracellular traps （NETs）. METHODS Establishment of rat RA model using bovine type Ⅱ collagen and Freund’s complete adjuvant. The model rats were randomly divided into model group and low-dose， middle-dose and high-dose groups （55， 110， 220 mg/kg） of petroleum ether extract of S. divaricata； the normal group without modeling was also established， with 10 rats in each group. Each group was given corresponding drugs or constant volume of 2% Tween-80 solution intragastrically， once a day， for consecutive 28 days. The toe swelling degree in rats was observed， and the arthritis index （AI） was scored. The serum levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-10， IL-17， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25（OH）D3]， myeloperoxidase （MPO）， neutrophil elastase （NE） and NETs in rats were detected. The histopathological changes in ankle joint were observed. The expression of citrullinated histone H3 （CitH3） in ankle joint as well as the expressions of cytochrome P450 24A1 （CYP24A1）， cytochrome P450 27B1 （CYP27B1），vitamin D receptor （VDR） and peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 疾病。E-mail：zhongyao626@126.com （PAD4） in synovium were all determined. RESULTS Compared with the model group， the toe swelling degree and AI score in the middle-dose and high-dose groups of petroleum ether extract of S. divaricata decreased significantly from day 14 to day 28 after administration （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The serum levels of IL-1β， IL-17， TNF-α， MPO， NE and NETs decreased significantly， while the levels of IL-10 and 25（OH）D3 increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The widened ankle joint space and the improved structure were found； the expression of CitH3 in ankle joint， and the expressions of CYP24A1 and PAD4 in synovium were down-regulated significantly， while the expressions of CYP27B1 and VDR were up-regulated significantly in synovium （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS The petroleum ether extract of S. divaricata may inhibit the production of NETs and improve the symptoms of RA by regulating the vitamin D system.

Background Regional differences in economic development, natural environment, health care level, and social structure may lead to differences in the provincial distribution of the health status of the elderly population. Objective To explore the provincial distribution characteristics, regional differences, and influencing factors of the self-assessed health of the elderly population, with the aim of providing a policy basis for improving the health of the elderly population and promoting healthy aging according to local conditions. Methods Using 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) in China as the basicstudy unit and based on the method of Wagstaff, the self-rated health data of the elderly population (aged 60 years and above) in each province from the 2010 and 2020 national censuses and the 2015 1% National Population Sample Survey were converted into ill-health scores as a measure of self-assessed health, and higher scores represented worse health status perception. Global Moran's I was used to evaluate spatial autocorrelation, range [−1, 1], with a value of 1 as a perfect clustered pattern. Local Moran's I was used to evaluate the tendency of local autocorrelation, and high-high aggregation/low-low aggregation indicated that both target province and its neighboring provinces showed higher/lower ill-health scores. Spatial econometric models were selected by Lagrange multiplier test and Hausman test to explore influencing factors of the self-assessed health of the elderly population. Results In 2010, 2015, and 2020, the national ill-health scores of the elderly population were 1.831, 1.873, and 1.547, respectively, and the corresponding Global Moran's I statistics were 0.347, 0.482, and 0.511, respectively (P<0.01), indicating that the ill-health scores of the elderly population showed a significant spatial positive autocorrelation, and the degree of spatial aggregation was increasing gradually. From 2010 to 2020, the high-high aggregation of ill-health scores among the elderly population was concentrated in the inland northwest, while the low-low aggregation was concentrated in the southeast coast, gradually showing a "southeast-central-northwest" stepped incremental pattern of differentiation. The Lagrange multiplier test and Hausman test suggested that the fixed-effects spatial lagged model was a better choice, and the regression model showed a spatial autocorrelation in the ill-health scores of the elderly population, with an autocorrelation coefficient of 0.3969 (P<0.001); the ill-health scores of the elderly population were negatively correlated with the natural logarithms of gross regional product per capita, and the number of beds in health care facilities per 1000 population, with regression coefficients of −0.8297 and −0.0454 (P<0.05) respectively, and positively correlated with the annual average concentration of PM_2.5, illiteracy rate, and the number of health technicians per 1000 population, with regression coefficients of 0.0033, 0.0297, and 0.0765 (P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion From 2010 to 2020, the overall self-assessed health level of China's elderly population showed an upward trend and a spatial positive autocorrelation, with better self-assessed health in the southeast coast and poorer ratings in the northwestern inland. Additionally, there was a gradual decline in self-assessed health of the elderly population from the southeast to the central regions and further to the northwest in terms of spatial distribution. Economic development level, environmental pollution, health resource allocation, and education level are important factors influencing the self-assessed health of the elderly population.

Objective To analyze the postoperative therapeutic effect of prokinetic agents in patients after tricuspid valve replacement （TVR） under cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods Patients received TVR under cardiopulmonary bypass （during June 2010 to December 2021） in the department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University were selected as the subjects of our study. The data of basic characteristics, first postoperative defecation time and postoperative recovery condition were collected and retrospectively analyzed in the patients taking prokinetic agents within three days after surgery （prevention group） and patients not taking prokinetic agents within three days after surgery （control group）. Results A total of 184 patients were selected, including 101 in the prevention group and 83 in the control group. The first defecation time of patients in the prevention group was significantly earlier than that in the control group （P<0.05）. The incidences of abdominal distension and pulmonary infection in the prevention group were significantly lower than that in the control group. The length of time in ICU, postoperative mechanical ventilation and nasogastric tube decompression in the prevention group were significantly shorter than that in the control group （P<0.05）. Conclusion Taking prokinetic agents within three days after TVR under cardiopulmonary bypass could effectively improve the prognosis of patients.
