Objective:
To determine the association between exposure to entertainment screen content on mobile phones and symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students,so as to provide evidence for mental health interventions.
Methods:
A baseline survey was conducted from April to May 2019. A total of 1 135 college students were selected from one university each in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province and Hefei City, Anhui Province using cluster random sampling method. A follow up study was conducted in November 2019, resulting in 1 110 matched valid responses. Self rating questionnaires were used to assess the exposure of entertainment screen content. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21(DASS-21) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate the anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students. A multivariate binary Logistic regression model was constructed following initial intergroup comparisons with Chi-square test to determine the association between baseline exposure to mobile entertainment screen content and the risk of symptoms of anxiety depression co-morbidity at baseline and the 6 month follow up.
Results:
The prevalence rates of symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students were 25.4% and 20.6% at baseline and follow up, respectively.After adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, self rated family economic status and self rated health status, the results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the appropriate exposure level group, the exposure of entertainment screen content on mobile phones at baseline, including frequent exposure to reading( OR =1.65,95% CI =1.14-2.39), occasional exposure to other entertainment screen content ( OR =1.46,95% CI =1.01-2.10)and frequent exposure to other entertainment screen content( OR =1.76,95% CI =1.20-2.60), increased the co-occurrence risk of symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students during the follow up period (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Occasional or frequert exposure to mobile entertainment screen content can increase the risk of symptoms of anxiety depression co-morbidity among college students.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate whether Bushen Tongluo prescription inhibits macrophage polarization by regulating the Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby reducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition and excessive extracellular matrix deposition, in order to elucidate the anti-pulmonary fibrosis mechanisms of Bushen Tongluo prescription and provide a new theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. MethodsFifty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a blank group, model group, pirfenidone group, and high- and low-dose Bushen Tongluo prescription groups. Except for the blank group, the pulmonary fibrosis model was established by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin. Intervention was initiated on day 28 after modeling. The high- and low-dose Bushen Tongluo prescription groups were administered Bushen Tongluo prescription at doses of 30.88, 15.44 g·kg-1, respectively, by intragastric gavage. The pirfenidone group was administered pirfenidone capsules at 110 mg·kg-1 by intragastric gavage. The blank and model groups were given an equal volume of normal saline by gavage, once daily for 90 days. After treatment, the level of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Morphological changes in lung tissue and the collagen volume fraction were compared. The protein distribution and expression of E-cadherin, cytokeratin 19, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), vimentin, collagen type Ⅰ (Col Ⅰ), and collagen type Ⅲ (Col Ⅲ) in lung tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. The protein distribution and expression of CD68, arginase-1 (Arg-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Wnt3a, and β-catenin in lung tissue were detected by immunofluorescence. The protein expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin in lung tissue was detected by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin was detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultsCompared with the blank group, a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated the airway walls, alveolar spaces, and interstitial tissue in the model group, with obvious fibrous tissue hyperplasia. The level of TGF-β1 in BALF was significantly increased. The protein expression of E-cadherin and cytokeratin 19 in lung tissue was decreased, whereas the protein expression of α-SMA, Vimentin, Wnt3a, β-catenin, Col Ⅰ, and Col Ⅲ was increased. The fluorescence-positive area ratios of CD68, Arg-1, iNOS, Wnt3a, and β-catenin in lung tissue were increased. The protein and mRNA expression levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin in lung tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all treatment groups showed varying degrees of improvement in inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrous tissue hyperplasia in the airway walls, alveolar spaces, and interstitial tissue, decreased TGF-β1 levels in BALF, increased protein expression of E-cadherin and cytokeratin 19 in lung tissue, decreased protein expression of α-SMA, Vimentin, Col Ⅰ, and Col Ⅲ, decreased fluorescence-positive area ratios of CD68, Arg-1, iNOS, Wnt3a, and β-catenin in lung tissue, and decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin in lung tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionBushen Tongluo prescription can improve bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition and reducing excessive extracellular matrix deposition. The mechanism may be related to inhibition of the Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway and the macrophage polarization mediated by this pathway.

Objective: To systematically analyze the confirmatory positivity of different combinations of HBsAg screening results in blood testing, providing data to support the optimization of blood donor eligibility management. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on blood screening data from 174 266 voluntary blood donor samples at the Chongqing Blood Center between October 2021 and September 2022. Samples with inconsistent results between the two HBsAg enzymelinked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and individual donor nucleic acid testing (NAT) were confirmed using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) and a neutralization test. The detection efficacy of four different HBsAg ELISA reagents was compared using the HBsAg-confirmed positive samples. Results: A total of 767(0.44%) HBV-reactive (HB-sAg and/or HBV DNA reactive) samples were detected. Among them, 344 samples with discordant serological and NAT results were collected, of which 64(18.6%) were confirmed positive by neutralization test. Additionally, 5 samples that were neutralization-negative but double-reactive for HBsAg and HBV DNA were confirmed as positive according to FDA guidance, resulting in a total of 69(20.1%) confirmed HBsAg-positive samples. There were significant differences in the neutralization test confirmation rates among different screening result categories (P<0.05): The group with dual HBsAg reagent reactivity (double reactive) & NAT-negative had the highest confirmation rate (96.9%, 31/32); the group reactive to only reagent 2 (single reactive) had a rate of 25.7% (29/113); while the confirmation rates for samples reactive to only reagent 1 and samples with isolated HBV DNA positivity were extremely low [0(0/34) and 2.4%(4/165), respectively]. The four commercial reagents showed significant differences in their ability to detect confirmed positive samples that were initially single reactive (P<0.05). Conclusion: Given the performance variations among HBsAg screening reagents, thorough performance verification is essential before implementation. When NAT is negative, dual HBsAg reactivity in screening can serve as a basis for confirming infection and directly deferring blood donors. However, confirming infection in donors with single HBsAg reactivity is more challenging, necessitating supplementary tests to rule out infection risk.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics and analyze prognostic factors of neuroblastoma (NB) in infants (≤12 months) at a single center. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of infant patients (≤12 months) diagnosed with NB and treated between January 2014 and December 2022. Clinical features were analyzed, and comparisons between two sample rates were performed using the χ2 test. Univariate prognostic analysis was conducted using the log-rank test, and survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results A total of 42 infants (≤12 months) with NB were enrolled. Low-risk patients underwent surgical resection alone; intermediate-risk patients received surgery combined with chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy; high-risk patients were treated with surgery and chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy or radiotherapy. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was (92.7±4.9)%, and the 5-year overall survival rate was (95.2±3.6)%. Only two patients died because of tumor recurrence or progression. Univariate analysis identified MYCN amplification and the initial lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level ≥ five times the upper limit of the normal were significantly associated with poor prognosis (5-year EFS: 33.3% vs. 97.4% and 60.0% vs. 97.3%, P<0.0001 and P=0.0035). Conclusion Infant NB has a favorable overall prognosis. MYCN amplification and markedly elevated initial LDH are associated with poor outcomes.

Objective Two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis was used to explore the causal relationship between hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism and insomnia.Methods A two-sample MR method was adopted.The exposure factors were hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism,and the outcome was insomnia.The instrumental variables were screened.Inverse variance weighting(IVW)was mainly used to analyze the causal relationship between hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism and insomnia.Meanwhile,MR-Egger,weighted mode,weighted median,and simple mode were used to supplement the IVW analysis results.Cochran's Q test was used to determine the statistical heterogeneity among single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP),and the intercept term of MR-Egger was used to evaluate whether SNP had horizontal pleomorphism.The influence of a single SNP on the IVW analysis results was evaluated by the retention of one method.To avoid reverse causality,insomnia was taken as the exposure factor and hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism as the outcome event for reverse MR analysis.Results A total of 11 SNP strongly related to hyperthyroidism were screened out.After eliminating the palindromic sequences,9 SNP strongly related to hyperthyroidism were finally included.The IVW analysis results showed that hyperthyroidism increased the risk of insomnia(OR=1.01,95%CI:1.00-1.01,P=0.012).A total of 68 SNP strongly related to hypothyroidism were screened out.After removing the palindromic sequences,61 SNP highly related to hypothyroidism were finally included.The IVW analysis results showed that hypothyroidism increased the risk of insomnia(OR=1.01,95%CI:1.00-1.01,P=0.021).The results of Cochran's Q test showed that there was no heterogeneity in the instrumental variable hyperthyroidism(P=0.60).The MR-Egger intercept analysis indicated that studies with hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism as exposure and insomnia as the outcome did not have horizontal pleiotropy(P>0.05).Reverse MR analysis revealed that exposure factors such as insomnia had no causal relationship with hyperthyroidism(OR=1.57,95%CI:0.55-4.50,P=0.40)or hypothyroidism(OR=1.09,95%CI:0.74-1.61,P=0.66).Conclusion Hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism can increase the risk of insomnia.

Objective:To construct an evaluation index system for rural order-oriented general practice residents based on Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) and conduct an empirical analysis. ?Methods:A mixed-methods study design was adopted (November 2022-April 2023). The preliminary draft of the index system was developed through literature review and group discussions, then refined and improved via two rounds of expert consultation using the Delphi method. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was applied to determine the weight of each index. Meanwhile, questionnaires were distributed to 181 participants, including general practitioners from general hospitals, general practitioners from community hospitals, and general practice residents. The scores of the three groups regarding the importance and feasibility of the indices were compared. Ten general practitioners of the above three types were selected for semi-structured interviews on their cognitive and practical aspects of the system. ?Results:The positive coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultation were 16/17 and 16/16, respectively. The expert authority degree was >0.70, and the test of coordination coefficient was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Finally, an index system consisting of 20 first-level indices and 56 second-level indices was established. In terms of weight, among the first-level indices,"EPA1: Information Acquisition"had the highest weight (0.11), while"EPA12: Clinical Research"had the lowest (0.02). Among the second-level indices, "Medical History Taking" and "Physical Examination" under EPA1 had the highest weight (both 0.056), while "Healthcare for Patients with Severe Mental Illness" and "Healthcare for Disabled and Handicapped Populations" under EPA15 had the lowest (both 0.003). The 181 participants gave scores ranging from 4.49 to 4.92 for the importance of the 20 first-level indices and from 4.16 to 4.81 for their feasibility. Only for" EPA19: Common Diseases in Primary Care and Health Management", the feasibility score given by general practitioners from community hospitals was higher than that from general hospitals ( t=2.157, P=0.032); no statistically significant differences were observed among the groups for the other indices ( P>0.05).The interview results showed that general practitioners have a relatively high level of recognition for this system, but there is still room for improvement in its practical application.? Conclusions:The evaluation index system for rural order-oriented general practice residents constructed based on EPAs has high reliability, and it is consistently recognized by different types of general practitioners. It can provide a reference for the cultivation of post competency of this group.?

This article presents a case study of a patient who visited the Geriatric Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital due to "palpitations, shortness of breath for more than 2 years, limb weakness for 6 months, edema, and nocturnal dyspnea for 2 months". The patient exhibited decreased muscle strength in the limbs and involvement of swallowing and respiratory muscles, alongside complications of heart failure and various arrhythmias which were predominantly atrial. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of multiple autoantibodies and notably anti-mitochondrial antibodies. Following a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with anti-mitochondrial antibody-associated inflammatory myopathy. Treatment involved a combination of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, along with resistance exercises for muscle strength and rehabilitation training for lung function, resulting in significant improvement of clinical symptoms. The case underscores the importance of collaborative multidisciplinary approaches in diagnosing and treating rare diseases in elderly patients, where careful consideration of clinical manifestations and subtle abnormal clinical data can lead to effective interventions.
