Objective: To systematically evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and maintenance effects of digital psychological therapies on depressive symptoms among adolescents, so as to provide a reference for clinical practice. Methods: Randomized controlled trial(RCT) investigating digital psychological therapies to improve depressive symptoms among adolescents were searched across databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, VIP database, and SinoMed, from database inception to November 20, 2025. Following literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction, a Meta analysis was performed using Stata 18.0 software. Results: A total of 20 studies involving 2 042 adolescents aged 11-19 were included. The Meta analysis revealed that digital psychological therapies significantly alleviated depressive symptoms in adolescents ( SMD =-0.59, 95% CI =-0.85 to -0.32, P <0.01). The therapeutic effect was sustained at long term follow up ( SMD =-0.21, 95% CI =-0.34 to -0.09, P <0.01). Furthermore, depression scores in the intervention group showed a continued decrease from post intervention to long term follow up ( SMD =-0.28, 95% CI =-0.41 to -0.14, P <0.01). Egger s linear regression test indicated possible publication bias (Kendall s tall=0.28, P <0.01). Conclusions Digital psychological therapies can effectively improve depressive symptoms among adolescents, with stable long term efficacy. However, current evidence remains limited and exhibits substantial heterogeneity. Therefore, further large sample, high quality RCTs are warranted to validate the effectiveness of this intervention.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the frequency and related factors of ineffective triggering (IT) and double triggering (DT) in patients with acute brain injury undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from a single-center observational trial. Patients with acute brain injury [traumatic brain injury, stroke, and post-craniotomy for brain tumors] undergoing mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University between June 2017 and July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Respiratory parameters and waveforms during the first 3 days of mechanical ventilation were recorded, with 15-minute waveform segments collected 4 times daily. Airway occlusion pressure (P_0.1) was measured via end-expiratory hold at the end of each recording. IT and DT were identified based on airway pressure, flow, and esophageal pressure waveforms, and the ineffective triggering index (ITI) and DT incidence were calculated. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with IT and DT. RESULTS: A total of 94 patients with acute brain injury were ultimately enrolled, including 19 cases of traumatic brain injury (20.2%), 39 cases of stroke (41.5%), and 36 cases of post-craniotomy for brain tumor (38.3%). Supratentorial injury was observed in 49 patients (52.1%), while infratentorial injury was identified in 45 patients (47.9%). A total of 94 patients with 1 018 datasets were analyzed; 684 (67.2%) datasets were on pressure support ventilation (PSV), and 334 (32.8%) were on mandatory ventilation. IT was detected in 810 (79.6%) datasets, with a median incidence of 2.1% (0.3%, 12.0%). Datasets demonstrating IT were characterized by lower P_0.1, higher tidal volume (VT), reduced respiratory rate (RR), and decreased minute ventilation (MV) compared to those without IT. The proportion of datasets exhibiting IT was higher during PSV than in mandatory ventilation [83.8% (573/684) vs. 71.0% (237/334), P < 0.05], while, the prevalence of ITI ≥ 10% was lower [23.8% (163/684) vs. 33.5% (112/334), P < 0.05]. DT was detected in 305 datasets (30%), with a median incidence of 0.6% (0.4%, 1.3%). Datasets exhibiting DT were characterized by higher VT, reduced RR, and lower pressure support levels. The incidence of DT was lower in PSV compared to mandatory ventilation modes [0% (0%, 0.3%) vs. 0% (0%, 0.5%), P < 0.05]. The post-craniotomy for brain tumors group exhibited higher ITI, lower RR, reduced MV, and a greater proportion of infratentorial lesions, compared to the TBI group. The infratentorial lesion group demonstrated higher ITI and incidence of DT compared to the supratentorial lesion group [ITI: 3.1% (0.7%, 17.8%) vs. 1.5% (0%, 8.3%), incidence of DT: 0% (0%, 0.5%) vs. 0% (0%, 0%), both P < 0.05]. After adjusting for confounding factors through multivariate logistic regression analysis, infratentorial lesion [odds ratio (OR) = 2.029, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.465-2.811, P < 0.001], lower P_0.1 (OR = 0.714, 95%CI was 0.616-0.827, P < 0.001), and mandatory ventilation (OR = 1.613, 95%CI was 1.164-2.236, P = 0.004) were independently associated with IT. Additionally, infratentorial lesion (OR = 1.618, 95%CI was 1.213-2.157, P = 0.001), large tidal volume (OR = 1.222, 95%CI was 1.137-1.314, P < 0.001), lower pressure support levels (OR = 0.876, 95%CI was 0.829-0.925, P < 0.001), and mandatory ventilation (OR = 2.750, 95%CI was 1.983-3.814, P < 0.001) were independently associated with DT. CONCLUSION IT and DT were common in patients with acute brain injury. Infratentorial lesions and mandatory ventilation were independently associated with both IT and DT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between long-term glycemic control and cerebral infarction risk in patients with diabetes through a large-scale cohort study. METHODS: This prospective, community-based cohort study included 12,054 patients with diabetes. From 2006 to 2012, 38,272 fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurements were obtained from these participants. FBG trajectory patterns were generated using latent mixture modelling. Cox proportional hazards models were applied to assess the subsequent risk of cerebral infarction associated with different FBG trajectory patterns. RESULTS: At baseline, the mean age of the participants was 55.2 years. Four distinct FBG trajectories were identified based on FBG concentrations and their changes over the 6-year follow-up period. After a median follow-up of 6.9 years, 786 cerebral infarction events were recorded. Different trajectory patterns were associated with significantly varied outcome risks (Log-Rank P < 0.001). Compared with the low-stability group, Hazard Ratio ( HR) adjusted for potential confounders were 1.37 for the moderate-increasing group, 1.23 for the elevated-decreasing group, and 2.08 for the elevated-stable group. CONCLUSION Sustained high FBG levels were found to play a critical role in the development of ischemic stroke among patients with diabetes. Controlling FBG levels may reduce the risk of cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the types of latent profiles and influencing factors of knowledge,attitudes and practice(KAP)in curriculum-based ideological and political education in undergraduate nursing students and to provide evidence for design of ideological and political courses tailored to different types of nursing undergraduates.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 671 undergraduate nursing students from our school between March and July 2024.Data were collected using a general data survey form,a KAP questionnaire on nursing curriculum-based ideological and political education,a professional identity survey for nursing undergraduates,and the Jefferson empathy scale nursing student edition(JSPE-NS).Latent profile analysis(LPA)was conducted using 22 items of the KAP questionnaire as observed variables,and a logistic regression analysis was used to assess the influencing factors of different KAP latent profiles in ideological and political education.Results A total of 663 nursing undergraduate students completed the survey.They spread in three latent groups:a mediocre group(172/663,25.9%),a competent group(378/663,57.0%),and an exceptional group(113/663,17.1%).From a single-child family,grade point average(GPA),professional identity and empathy were identified as the factors that influenced KAP latent profiles in curriculum based ideological and political education among the undergraduate nursing students(all P<0.05).Conclusion There exists a heterogeneity in KAP in curriculum based ideological and political education among the undergraduate nursing students.Nursing educators should develop targeted enhancement measures according to the characteristics of latent profile groups therefore to facilitate the comprehensive development of the undergraduate nursing students.

Objective To explore the association between nocturnal blood pressure decline rate and chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods In this study,a total of 711 individuals who underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were divided into control group(n=433)and CHF group(n=278).The characteristics of the study population and nocturnal blood pressure decline rate were compared between CHF group and control group.Restricted spline analysis was utilized to examine the linear or non-linear association between nocturnal blood pressure decline rate and the prevalence of CHF.The relationship between nocturnal blood pressure decline rate and CHF was further investigated based on multivariable Logistic regression model.Results Nocturnal systolic blood pressure decline rate was significantly different in CHF group and control group[(3.3±7.1)mmHg vs.(5.0+6.7)mmHg,P=0.001].No significant difference in nocturnal diastolic blood pressure was found between the two groups[(5.7±7.6)mmHg vs.(6.8±7.2)mmHg,P=0.061].Restricted spline analysis showed a significant linear association between nocturnal systolic blood pressure decline rate and CHF risk.After adjusting for age,sex,smoking,body mass index,24-hour systolic blood pressure,24-hour diastolic blood pressure,type 2 diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia,multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that nocturnal systolic blood pressure decline rate was negatively associated with the prevalence of CHF(OR=0.97,95％CI:0.95-0.99;P=0.010).However,no significant association was found between nocturnal diastolic blood pressure decline rate and CHF risk.Conclusion Nocturnal systolic blood pressure decline rate is associated with the prevalence of CHF.Individuals with decreased nocturnal systolic blood pressure decline have a significantly increased risk of CHF.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of derotational distal femoral osteotomy (DDFO) combined with medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction assisted by digital orthopedic technique in the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation with enlarged femoral anteversion angle (FAA).Methods:TThe clinical data of 18 patients (4 men and 14 women; mean age 22.1±0.7 years; range, 18-26 years) with recurrent patellar dislocation (FAA≥30°) admitted to Digital Orthopedic Technology Clinical Application Center in Tianjin hospital from May 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The average number of patella dislocations were 3.6±0.4 (range, 2-8 times), with a mean symptom duration of 4.3±0.4 years (range, 2-7 years). According to Dejour classification of femoral trochlea dysplasia, there were 5 cases of type A, 3 cases of type B, 6 cases of type C and 4 cases of type D. All patients underwent 3D CT scanning and digital modeling before operation. Based on the modeling results, personalized osteotomy and orthopedic integration guide were designed and printed to direct intraoperative DDFO and MPFL reconstruction. Radiological parameters, knee function and complications were assessed during follow-up. Knee function assessments included visual analogue scale (VAS), Intemational Knee Documentation Committee Knee Form (IKDC), Kujala, Lysholm and Tegner score. The radiological parameters included FAA, patellar tilt angle (PTA), tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) and caton-deschamps index (CDI).Results:All patients underwent surgery and were followed up for 15.4±2.8 months (range, 12-20 months). Complications occurred in 3 patients, including deep venous thrombosis in 2 cases and wound effusion in 1 case. No other complications such as wound infection, nerve injury, vascular injury, fracture nonunion or patella dislocation were recorded. The VAS score improved from 5.4±0.3 preoperatively to 2.1±0.2 at one year postoperatively. The IKDC score improved from 44.4±2.7 to 79.2±1.9 points. The Kujala score improved from 51.8±2.6 to 86.1±1.6, the Lysholm from 49.8±2.5 to 84.9±1.5, and the Tegner score from 2.2±0.2 to 4.1±0.2. The FAA decreased from 39.7°±1.2° to 14.9°±0.2°, the PTA from 33.1°±2.6° to 12.6°±1.4°, and the TT-TG from 20.2±0.6 to 13.9±0.4 mm. The differences between time of all the above-mentioned parameters were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The CDI remained stable, which changed from 1.03±0.02 preoperatively to 1.07±0.01 one year after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusions:After the application of DDFO combined with MPFL reconstruction assist by personalized osteotomy and orthopedic integrated guide, the patient's knee function and imaging parameters were significantly improved at one-year follow-up. In the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation with enlarged FAA, good early clinical efficacy could be achieved with this operation.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) assisted by digital orthopedic techniques in the treatment of varus knee osteoarthritis secondary to tibial fracture malunion.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed of the 16 patients who had been admitted to Clinical Application Center of Digital Orthopedic Technology, Tianjin Hospital for varus knee osteoarthritis secondary to tibial fracture malunion from April 2022 to October 2023. There were 6 men and 10 women, with an age of (56.3±1.6) years and a mean body mass index of (23.8±0.9) kg/m 2. HTO was performed for all the patients using patient-specific instrumentation integrated osteotomy and orthopedic guide which was designed and printed with digital orthopedic techniques. If preoperative imaging indicated symptomatic meniscus injury (tear), intraarticular free body, or intercondylar fossa stenosis in a patient, arthroscopic clearance was first conducted before subsequent performance of HTO at one stage. Clinical effectiveness was evaluated by measuring and comparing hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), posterior tibial slope (PTS), lower limb weight-bearing line (WBL) ratio, Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and knee range of motion (ROM) before surgery and 12 months after surgery. Results:The operative time was (41.3±2.1) min and intraoperative fluoroscopy was performed only once in all the patients. All the wounds healed by the first stage with no such complications as hinge point fracture, wound infection, vascular injury, nerve injury, delayed union or nonunion of fracture, lower limb deep venous thrombosis, loosening of internal fixation, or plate rupture. The follow-up time for the 16 patients was (16.3±0.7) months. At 12 months after surgery, the HKA (179.5°±0.5°), MPTA (91.7°±0.5°), WBL ratio (61.2%±0.4%), WOMAC osteoarthritis index [(12.8±0.8) points], VAS pain score [(1.8±0.3) points] and knee ROM (121.8°±1.8°) were significantly better than those before surgery [166.6°±1.3°, 81.8°±0.4°, 29.6%±1.0%, (38.4±2.1) points, (4.8±0.3) points, and 110.5°±2.1°] ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in PTS between pre-surgery and 12 months after surgery ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:When HTO is used to treat varus knee osteoarthritis secondary to tibial fracture malunion, assistance of digital orthopedic techniques can improve HKA, MPTA, lower limb alignment, and knee ROM to reduce and recover knee function for the patients.

AIM To establish a rapid quantitative analysis model for saponins in Paris polyphylla var.yunnanensis(PPY)by near infrared spectroscopy.METHODS The contents of polyphyllins Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅶ and there total content in PPY were determined by HPLC,while spectral data within the range of 10 000 to 4 000 cm-1 were collected.A quantitative analysis model was established by combining these data with partial least squares regression(PLSR).Multivariate scatter correction(MSC)and vector normalization(SNV)were applied prior to further preprocessing the spectra with original,first-order derivative(1stD),or second-order derivative(2ndD)treatments.Lastly,the model was optimized through non-smoothing(NS),Norris Derivative filtering(Nd),and Savitzky-Golay filtering(S-G)method.Model stability was evaluated based on correlation coefficients and variance.The predicted contents of each saponin component in the validation set samples were calculated.RESULTS The contents of polyphyllins Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅶ were 0.42-17.98,0.46-10.44,0.23-3.86 mg/g,respectively.The total content ranged from 2.91 to 22.1 mg/g.The optimal parameters of three saponins were achieved when selecting the MSC+2ndD+S-G pretreatment method.The corresponding ratio of line segment length to segment gap was 13∶5,15∶5,11∶5,with correlation coefficients of 0.982,0.930,0.958,respectively.The root mean square errors of calibration(RMSEC)were 0.702,0.797,0.238,and the root mean square errors of prediction(RMSEP)were 1.120,0.835,0.304,respectively.The optimal parameters for the total content were obtained when selecting the MSC+2ndD+NS pretreatment method,with a correlation coefficient of 0.970,a RMSEC of 1.090,and a RMSEP of 1.740.CONCLUSION This accurate and rapid method can be used for detection of saponin contents in P.Polyphylla.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects of the copper chelator ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a mouse model.Methods:Twenty-four male dilution brown non-Agoutia/1 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: a blank control group (Ctrl group, n=6), a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) + phosphate buffer saline (PBS) treatment group (PBS group, n=6), a CIA+TTM treatment group (TTM group, n=6), and a CIA+Elesclomol treatment group (Eles group, n=6). Eles, a copper ion carrier, served as a control for administration of TTM, a copper ion chelator. One week after treatment, the swelling of mouse paw was observed, and the clinical scoring of the arthritis in mice was evaluated once a week. Paw mechanical pain detection was performed and photographs were taken to observe the severity of paw swelling before the mice were sacrificed. Catwalk gait analysis system was used to evaluate the gait changes in mice. HE and saffron O solid green staining were used to evaluate pathomorphologic changes in the mice knee joints and paws. Immunostaining techniques were used to detect the protein expression of MMP3, CD31, and VEGF in the mice paws. Luminex technology was used to detect alterations in the serum inflammatory factors. Results:Compared with the Ctrl group, in the PBS and Eles groups, the joints were red, swollen and deformed; the arthritis clinical scores were significantly higher; the bone destruction, synovial hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration and pathological changes in the joint tissues were obvious; the expression levels of inflammatory factors, such as serum MCP-1, IL-1 β, IL-9, and IFN- γ, were significantly higher while the expression level of IL-10 was significantly lower. Simultaneously, the expression of CD31 and VEGF factors was significantly enhanced. Compared with the PBS group, in the TTM group, the joint swelling and deformation were significantly improved, the arthritis clinical score was reduced, and the joint bone destruction, inflammatory cell infiltration and synovial hyperplasia were alleviated, and the levels of serum MCP-1, IL-1 β, IL-9 and IFN- γ were significantly decreased while the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was increased. There was no significant difference in the expression of MMP-3, CD31 or VEGF factors between the CTRL group and the TTM group. Conclusion:TTM can block synovial inflammation, angiogenesis, and bone destruction multiple times by simultaneously targeting multiple inflammatory factors, VEGF factors, and bone destruction mediators, thereby alleviating the pathological damage to the joint tissues induced by CIA in RA mice.
