BackgroundIndividuals with schizophrenia are prone to higher rates of hospital readmission， presenting significant clinical challenges and imposing considerable social burdens within the mental health domain. In recent years， various risk prediction models have been developed to forecast readmission in patients with schizophrenia and support clinical decision-making， but their predictive performance and clinical applicability require comprehensive evaluation. ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia， so as to provide insights for the development of high-performance and highly applicable readmission risk prediction models for patients with schizophrenia. MethodsOn July 5， 2025， a systematic literature search was conducted across multiple electronic databases， including PubMed， Embase， Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CINAHL， CNKI， China Biomedical Literature Database， Wanfang Database， and VIP Database， to identify risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to July 1， 2025. Two researchers independently performed literature screening， data extraction， risk of bias assessment， and applicability assessment. ResultsA total of 9 studies were included in this review， encompassing 18 risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. Among them， 4 models reported the area under the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve （AUC）， ranging from 0.734 to 0.820， 16 models provided AUC values of 0.642–0.879 for internal validation， and 1 model demonstrated an AUC of 0.841 for external validation. Key predictors included disease duration and the concomitant therapy of antipsychotic medications. The risk of bias was assessed as "high" in all included studies. ConclusionThe development of risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia remains in an exploratory stage. Although the model exhibits favorable predictive performance， it is associated with a high risk of bias and insufficient performance evaluation.

Objective To investigate the association between sleep behaviors （including bedtime， sleep quality， and nap duration） and academic performance among college students， as well as the regulatory effect of test anxiety and exercise habit on the association between sleep and academic performance. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data. The grade of compulsory courses （with higher grades indicating better academic performance） was used as an ordinal dependent variable. All independent variables were coded by levels： for bedtime during exam and non-exam periods， higher levels indicated later bedtimes； for anxiety during the exam period， higher levels indicated more severe anxiety； for sleep quality during both exam and non-exam periods， higher levels indicated better sleep quality； for nap duration， higher levels indicated longer naps. Exercise habit was treated as a binary variable （yes/no）. Ordinal logistic regression （proportional odds model） was used for multivariable analysis， and OR and 95%CIwere calculated. In addition， sex-stratified models were established to investigate sex differences in the associations between these factors and academic performance. Results A total of 1 221 college students were included， among whom male students accounted for 33.7%. After controlling for confounding factors， bedtime during the exam period was significantly positively associated with the grade of compulsory courses， indicating that later bedtime was associated with a greater likelihood of achieving a higher grade （OR=1.32，95%CI 1.08‒1.62， P=0.007）. Sex was also an independent predictive factor， and the OR of achieving a higher grade in female students was 2.4 times that in male students （OR=2.41， 95%CI 1.90‒3.06， P<0.001）. Sleep quality during the exam period （OR=1.18，95%CI 0.99‒1.42， P=0.070） and exercise habit （OR=1.24， 95%CI 0.99‒1.55， P=0.064） showed marginally significant associations with grade. In contrast， bedtime during the non-exam period， nap duration， anxiety during the exam period， and self-rated sleep quality during the non-exam period showed no statistical significance （all P>0.05）. Sex-stratified analysis showed that among the male students， later bedtime during the exam period was associated with a greater likelihood of achieving a higher grade （OR=1.48， 95%CI 1.05‒2.09， P=0.025）， whereas higher anxiety during the exam period was associated with a lower likelihood （OR=0.79，95%CI 0.63‒0.98， P=0.032）； among the female students， better sleep quality during the exam period was associated with a greater likelihood of achieving a higher grade （OR=1.27， 95%CI 1.02‒1.57， P=0.033）， and bedtime during the exam period showed a positive association with academic performance， but without statistical significance （OR=1.25，95%CI 0.96‒1.62，P=0.091）. Conclusion The association between sleep behaviors and academic performance among college students varies with academic period and sex. Later bedtime during the exam period is associated with better academic performance， but this effect is observed only among male students. In addition， the academic performance of male students is negatively affected by test anxiety， whereas the academic performance of female students is positively associated with subjective sleep quality. Future interventions aimed at improving academic health should consider sex-specific strategies.

OBJECTIVES: To identify potential molecular targets of quercetin in the treatment of clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). METHODS: The therapeutic targets of quercetin were screened from multiple databases by network pharmacology analysis, and the targets significantly correlated with ccRCC were screened from 4907 plasma proteins using a Mendelian randomization method. The drug-disease network model was constructed to screen the potential key targets. The functions of these targets were evaluated via bioinformatics analysis, and the screened targets were verified in cultured ccRCC cells. RESULTS: Network pharmacology analysis combined with Mendelian randomization identified TP53 (OR=3.325, 95% CI: 1.805-6.124, P=0.0001), ARF4 (OR=0.173, 95% CI: 0.065-0.456, P=0.0003), and DPP4 (OR=0.463, 95% CI: 0.302-0.711, P=0.0004) as the core targets in quercetin treatment of ccRCC. Bioinformatics analysis showed that TP53 was highly expressed in ccRCC, and patients with high TP53 expressions had worse survival outcomes. Molecular docking studies showed that the binding energy between quercetin and TP53 was -5.83 kcal/mol. In cultured 786-O cells, CCK-8 assay and wound healing assay showed that treatment with quercetin significantly inhibited cell proliferation and migration. Quercetin treatment also strongly suppressed the expression of TP53 at both the mRNA and protein levels in 786-O cells as shown by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. CONCLUSIONS TP53 may be the key target of quercetin in the treatment of ccRCC, which sheds light on potential molecular mechanism that mediate the therapeutic effect of quercetin.

[Objective] To investigate the correlation between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene polymorphism and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. [Methods] Venous blood samples were collected from 501 healthy individuals undergoing physical examinations at Yan’an Hospital in Kunming, Yunnan Province. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect HBV halves. Based on the results of HBV half detection, the patients were divided into three groups: HBV carrier group, previous infection group, and healthy control group. The HLA-A antigen genotype was detected using polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) genotyping technology, and the distribution frequency of HLA-A gene polymorphism was compared between HBV carrier group and healthy control group, as well as between previous infection group and healthy control group. SPSS17.0 software was used for data statistical analysis. [Results] In the healthy control group, the HLA-A2 positivity rate was 47.49%, and the allele frequency was 31.29%.The overall frequency of gene distribution in the healthy control group was consistent with the HLA-A allele table commonly and confirmed in China published by the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank. The HLA-A2 positivity rate and allele frequency in the HBV carrier group were 63.04% and 42.23%, respectively; The difference in HLA-A2 positivity rate and allele frequency among carriers was statistically significant (P<0.05). the HLA-A2 positivity rate and allele frequency in the HBV previous infection group were 56.14% and 35.97%, respectively, which did not significantly differ from those in the healthy control group (P>0.05). [Conclusion] HLA-A2 gene may be a susceptibility gene for chronic hepatitis B HBV carriers.

Objective To investigate the dietary patterns of rural residents in the high-incidence areas of esophageal cancer (EC), and to explore the clustering and influencing factors of risk factors associated with high-incidence characteristics. Methods A special structured questionnaire was applied to conduct a face-to-face survey on the dietary patterns of rural residents in Yanting county of Sichuan Province from July to August 2021. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors of risk factor clustering for EC. Results There were 838 valid questionnaires in this study. A total of 90.8% of rural residents used clean water such as tap water. In the past one year, the people who ate fruits and vegetables, soybean products, onions and garlic in high frequency accounted for 69.5%, 32.8% and 74.5%, respectively; the people who ate kimchi, pickled vegetables, sauerkraut, barbecue, hot food and mildew food in low frequency accounted for 59.2%, 79.6%, 68.2%, 90.3%, 80.9% and 90.3%, respectively. The clustering of risk factors for EC was found in 73.3% of residents, and the aggregation of two risk factors was the most common mode (28.2%), among which tumor history and preserved food was the main clustering pattern (4.6%). The logistic regression model revealed that the gender, age, marital status and occupation were independent influencing factors for the risk factors clustering of EC (P<0.05). Conclusion A majority of rural residents in high-incidence areas of EC in Yanting county have good eating habits, but the clustering of some risk factors is still at a high level. Gender, age, marital status, and occupation are influencing factors of the risk factors clustering of EC.
