BackgroundResident physicians represent a high-risk group for sleep disorders， exhibiting a significantly higher prevalence of such conditions compared with the general population， which severely impairs their physical and mental health. It is hypothesized that perceived stress negatively impacts sleep quality through psychological mechanisms， such as depleting self-control resources and triggering anxiety. However， this pathway warrants empirical validation. ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of self-control and anxiety emotions in the association between perceived stress and sleep quality among resident physicians， and to elucidate the underlying psychological mechanisms， aiming at providing theoretical basis for developing targeted psychological interventions. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in April 2025. First- to third- year resident physicians at a hospital in Fuyang City were recruited as participants （n=372）. The Chinese Perceived Stress Scales （CPSS）， the Chinese version of the Dual-Mode of Self-Control Scale （DMSC-S）， the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI）， and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item （GAD-7） were used for group testing. The model 6 of the Process macro version 4.1 was ultilized to examine the mediating pathway of self-control and anxiety emotions between perceived stress and sleep quality. ResultsA total of 322 valid questionnaires were collected， yielding an effective responsive rate of 86.56%. Among the respondents， 146 （45.34%） reported poor sleep quality. The CPSS score and GAD-7 score of resident physicians were positively correlated with the PSQI score （r=0.727， 0.784， P<0.01）， while the DMSC-S score was negatively correlated with the PSQI score （r=-0.615， P<0.01）. Perceived stress directly and positively predicted poor sleep quality （B=0.124， P<0.01）， with the direct effect accounting for 31.39% of the total effect. Furthermore， perceived stress indirectly affected sleep quality through the independent mediating effects of self-control and anxiety emotions. The indirect effect values of 0.053 （95% CI： 0.019 - 0.091） and 0.192 （95% CI： 0.141 - 0.249）， accounting for 13.42% and 48.61% of the total effect， respectively. Perceived stress also impact sleep quality through the serial mediating effect of self-control and anxiety， with the indirect effect value of 0.026 （95% CI： 0.005 - 0.049）， accounting for 6.58% of the total effect. ConclusionThe perceived stress of resident physicians can influence sleep quality by impairing self-control， exacerbating anxiety， and through the serial mediation of both factors.

Flap transplantation is a critical surgical strategy for the reconstruction of tissue defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, and congenital malformations, and its survival rate directly determines surgical efficacy and patient prognosis. Following transplantation, flaps inevitably undergo ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, during which oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and metabolic disturbances are intricately intertwined, ultimately leading to cellular injury and tissue necrosis. Recent studies have demonstrated that multiple forms of programmed cell death—including apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, and PANoptosis—play central roles in flap I/R injury. The extensive crosstalk and molecular interactions among these pathways form a highly complex cell death network. Specifically, apoptosis is mediated by the imbalance of Bcl-2 family proteins and the activation of cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific protease (caspase) cascades; pyroptosis is driven by the NLRP3-caspase-1-GSDMD axis, resulting in membrane pore formation and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines; ferroptosis is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and dysfunction of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4); necroptosis is triggered by the receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)-RIPK3-MLKL signaling complex, leading to membrane rupture; and PANoptosis represents an integrated form of inflammatory cell death that coordinates multiple death pathways. Importantly, these forms of programmed cell death are not independent but are interconnected through extensive signaling crosstalk. Key regulatory molecules, including caspase-8, reactive oxygen species (ROS), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), collectively modulate the dynamic balance among these pathways. Therefore, the multidimensional interplay and spatiotemporal dynamics of programmed cell death constitute a fundamental pathological basis of flap I/R injury. This review systematically summarizes the latest advances in the mechanisms and interactions of various programmed cell death pathways in flap I/R injury, aiming to elucidate the underlying regulatory network. These insights may provide novel theoretical foundations for optimizing flap protection strategies, improving flap survival, and promoting tissue repair.

Objective To explore the effect of the knockdown of transmembrane 9 superfamily protein member 2 (TM9SF2) on the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and investigate its role in the mechanism of antiviral innate immunity. Methods Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down the TM9SF2 gene in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. The CCK-8 method was used to assess cell proliferation. A VSV-green fluorescent protein (VSV-GFP) infected cell model was established. The plaque assay was used to measure the viral titer in the supernatant. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were employed to quantify the mRNA and protein levels of VSV genome replication in A549 cells following VSV infection, as well as the expression of interferon β (IFN-β) mRNA and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) protein phosphorylation following polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) stimulation. Results Compared to the negative control, the knockdown of TM9SF2 exhibited a significant effect, with no observed impact on A549 cell proliferation. The VSV-GFP infected A549 cell model was successfully established. After viral stimulation, fluorescence intensity was reduced following TM9SF2 knockdown, and the mRNA and protein levels of VSV were significantly downregulated. The viral titer of VSV was decreased. After poly(I:C) stimulation, TM9SF2 knockdown significantly upregulated the mRNA level of IFN-β and the phosphorylation level of IRF3 protein. Conclusion The knockdown of TM9SF2 inhibits the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus, and positively regulates the type I interferon signaling pathway, thus enhancing the host's antiviral innate immune response.

After the production of the gradient coil of the magnetic resonance imaging system, electromagnetic field testing is required to verify whether the assembly accuracy meets the electromagnetic field requirements. Since the passive magnetic field B _z satisfies the Laplace ^,s equation and is a harmonic function, and according to the extreme value principle of harmonic function, the maximum or minimum values of B _z can only appear on the boundaries, so the observation points of the magnetic field are generally selected on the surface of the spherical imaging area. For superconducting magnets used for human body magnetic resonance imaging, a spherical area with a center diameter of 40~50 cm is generally selected as the shimming target area. Only the field value of the target area needs to be measured, and the spherical harmonic coefficients obtained after data processing are used to determine the magnetic field performance of the gradient coil. There are many testing principles and methods for electromagnetic fields, so there is no unified way and method in the field of commercial applications. This article is based on the Gauss-Legendre numerical integration, measures and analyzes the magnetic field performance of gradient coils by building a data acquisition system, and this article applies numerical analysis methods to calculate the spherical harmonic coefficients of the magnetic field using discrete test data, providing a feasible method for the production and testing of gradient coils.

The casting and curing of gradient coils in the production process is a relatively complex process. The chemical process similar to the black box model requires confirmation of the impact of each step of input on the output results, while the curing temperature and molding method affect the roundness and deformation of the gradient coils. The analysis of the curing temperature and demolding method of gradient coils has important practical significance for the formation and micro deformation of gradient coils. This article uses ANSYS finite element simulation software to analyze the thermal structural coupling and the specific performance of actual products. It has been found that the product quality is more stable under the heat conduction mode, and the roundness of the mold is better when placed vertically and waiting for temperature cooling before being demolding than when placed horizontally.

Objectives:To investigate the effect and mechanism of mitochondrial targeting peptide SS-31 on senescence and pyroptosis of nucleus pulposus(NP)cells induced by inflammation.Methods:NP cells were isolated and cultured in vitro from 6-week-old male SD rats,and were divided into control group,lipopolysaccharide(LPS)group,and LPS+SS-31 group;And the control group of cells received no treatment,LPS group of cells were treated with 100μg/mL LPS for 24h,and LPS+SS-31 group of cells were pre-treated with SS-31 30min before LPS intervention.The levels of cellular senescence and pyroptosis were assessed in each group using β-galactosidase(SA-β-Gal)staining and westem blot(WB)assay;Transmission electron mi-croscopy and oxygen consumption rate(OCR)assay were used to analyze the mitochondrial function of NP cells in each group;The expressions of phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB-p65(p-NF-κB-p65),cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS),and interferon stimulating gene(STING)in each group were detected by WB and im-munofluorescence;Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,immunohistochemistry(IHC)staining and WB assay were performed to analyze the effects of in vivo injection of SS-31 on intervertebral disc degeneration,senescence,and pyroptosis.Results:The positive SA-β-Gal staining of NP cells,expression of senescence marker pro-teins(p53,p21),and pyroptosis-related molecules(NLRP3,Caspase-1 p20)were significantly lower in the LPS+SS-31 group compared with the LPS group(P＜0.05);Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)showed that the mitochondrial swelling of NP cells was round,the matrix was translucent,and the interstitial lumen of the mitochondrial cristae was dilated in the LPS group,while the mitochondrial swelling was subsided,and the morphology of mitochondria tended to be normalized in the LPS+SS-31 group.Meanwhile,the maximum respi-ration level of NP cells was significantly enhanced in the LPS+SS-31 group compared with the LPS group(P＜0.05).The results of WB and immunofluorescence showed that LPS significantly up-regulated the expression of p-NF-κB-p65,cGAS,and STING(P＜0.05),while SS-31 pretreatment significantly inhibited the expression of p-NF-κB-p65,cGAS and STING in NP cells induced by LPS(P＜0.05).Finally,in vivo experiments con-firmed that local injection of SS-31 reduced the senescence and pyroptosis of NP cells,and alleviated the degeneration of intervertebral disc induced by annulus fibropuncture.Conclusions:SS-31 alleviates inflamma-tion-induced senescence and pyroptosis of NP cells,which is related to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway and cGAS/STING signaling pathway.

This study was aimed at exploring the mechanism underlying the effects of nitidine chloride against Talaromyces marnef-fei through network pharmacology analysis.We collected NC and TM action targets from various databases;constructed a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network by using common drug and disease targets;and performed KEGG pathway and GO enrichment analy-ses.In vitro cellular experiments were conducted to test the antibacterial ability of NC at various concentrations,qPCR was used to de-tect the mRNA expression of genes in the target pathway,and WB was used to examine the expression of proteins associated with tar-get signaling pathways in cells.We identified 153 target genes for NC and 2 095 target genes for TM,among which 23 targets over-lapped.By integrating the PPI network with KEGG enrichment analysis,we selected key target genes in the MAPK signaling pathway,such as FLT1,FLT3,CD38,and PRF1.The CFU results indicated that NC had favorable antibacterial capability.Moreover,qPCR demonstrated that NC downregulated the mRNA expression of FLT1,FLT3,and RPS6KA3,and upregulated the mRNA expression of MAP3K8.WB findings indicated that NC downregulated the expression of RSK2,VEGF,and FLT3 proteins,and upregulated the ex-pression of MAP3K8 protein.NC may exert its anti-TM effects by downregulating the expression of RSK2,VEGF,and FLT3 proteins,thereby inhibiting MAPK pathway activation.The potential targets and signaling pathways underlying NC's anti-TM action may pro-vide new insights to guide the clinical application of NC.
