Objective:
To explore the consistency between self perceived body size and body mass index (BMI) evaluation among medical students, and analyze their association with depressive symptoms, so as to provide scientific evidence for psychological intervention targeting medical students.
Methods:
From September to November 2022, a convenient cluster sampling method was employed to select 1 850 college students from two universities in Hefei, Anhui Province, and Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to assess their depressive symptoms. Chi-square test was applied to compare the rates of depressive symptoms among medical students with different demographic characteristics. Kappa consistency test was performed to evaluate the consistency between self-perceived body size and BMI evaluation. Generalized linear models with binomial distribution and Logit link were constructed to analyze the associations of self-perceived body size and consistency between self-rated and BMI evaluation with depressive symptoms, as well as gender differences in these associations.
Results:
A total of 40.7 % of medical students overestimated or underestimated their body size. Specifically, the underestimation rate was 20.5% in males and 4.9 % in females, while the overestimation rate was 12.7% in males and 40.5% in females, the distribution of consistency in the misclassification rate of body self-perception between males and females was statistically significant ( χ 2=221.54, P <0.01). The overall consistency between self perceived body size and BMI evaluation was low for both males and females, with Kappa values of 0.518 and 0.281 respectively (both P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding variables, generalized linear model analyses showed that medical students with self perceived obesity and body size overestimation had higher risks of depressive symptoms ( OR =1.62, 1.26, both P <0.05). Stratified analyses by gender revealed that girls with self perceived overweight and obesity had higher risks of depressive symptoms in female students ( OR =1.43, 1.66, both P <0.05), whereas no statistically significant associations among boys ( OR =0.84, 1.86, both P >0.05). Girls with body size overestimation had a higher risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.20, P < 0.05), with no significant association in boys ( OR=1.00, P >0.05).
Conclusions
Differences exist related between self perceived body size and BMI evaluation among medical students. Self perceived obesity and body size overestimation are related factors to depressive symptoms.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which cancer-associated fibroblast(CAF)in the tumor microenvironment regulate key pathways in prostate cancer stem cells(PCSCs).Methods An in vitro co-culture system of CAF and PCSC was established to observe the effects of CAF on PCSC proliferation and sphere formation.Prostate cancer stem cells were treated with CAF conditioned medium pre-treated with Wnt inhibitor DKK-1 and SDF-1 neutralizing anti-body(MAB310).Western blot was used to detect the expression of β-catenin,CXCR4,CD133 and CD44 in PCSCs.And PCR was used to detect the expression of β-catenin,CXCR4,TCF,and LEF mRNA.TOPflash/FOPflash dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted to detect the effects of SDF-1 on Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity in PCSCs.Results ELISA results showed that the secretion of Wnt3a and SDF-1 in CAF supernatant was significantly higher than that in WPMY-1 cells(P<0.05).The A value of PCSCs co-cultured with CAF at a 1∶6 ratio was significantly higher than that of the PCSC-only group(P<0.0 1),and CAF promoted sphere formation in PCSCs(P<0.05).Western blot results showed that CAF-CM significantly increased the relative expression of β-catenin,CXCR4,CD133 and CD44 in PCSCs(P<0.01).Compared to CAF-CM,CAFanti-Wnt-CM significantly reduced the expression of β-catenin,CD133 and CD44(P<0.01).CAFanti-SDF-1-CM also significantly inhibited the expression of CXCR4,β-catenin,CD133 and CD44(P<0.01).PCR results showed that CAFanti-SDF-1-CM inhibited the expression of β-catenin,CXCR4 and downstream Wnt signaling effectors TCF and LEF(P<0.01).Dual-luciferase reporter assay results showed that luciferase activity in the CAFanti-SDF-1-CM group was significantly lower than that in the CAF-CM group(P<0.05).Conclusion CAF reg-ulates the stemness of PCSCs through the Wnt/β-catenin and SDF-1/CXCR4 pathways.CXCR4 may enhance the mainte-nance of stemness by activating β-catenin.

Objective:To explore highly efficient ventilation protection technology for large-space workplaces adapted to the production process in composite material impregnation.Methods:A composite material impregnation room was selected as the research subject from August to December 2023. Occupational health investigation, on-site detection, and physical simulation of air distribution were used to analyze the distribution of the xylene concentrations in the impregnation room. In addition, the causes for excessive concentrations were analyzed, and the combination ventilation design of enclosed negative pressure cabinets and jet directional supply of fresh air was proposed. The concentration of xylene, the capture velocity and the differential pressure of ventilation facilities before and after the transformation were tested on the spot. The rationality of the airflow organization was determined through smoke testing, and the ventilation protection effects before and after the transformation were analyzed.Results:The time-weighted average allowable concentration ( CTWA) of xylene was reduced from 41.73 mg/m 3 to 7.78 mg/m 3, and the CTWA of xylene were reduced by 81.4%. The values of capture velocity at all areas were higer than 0.5 m/s, and the values of velocity unevenness in all regions were lower than or equal to 0.25. The differential pressure between the enclosed cabinet and the impregnation room corridor was -2 to -1 Pa. The overall velocity distribution at all areas was relatively uniform, the airflow organization was reasonable, and negative pressure was formed inside the enclosed cabinet. Conclusion:The combination ventilation design of xylene, the capture velocity and the differential pressure of ventilation facilities effectively reducing the xylene concentration in the workplace, and provide a reference for ventilation protection of xylene workplace.

Objective:To investigate the impacts of different surgical fixation sequences on the post-operative functional outcomes in patients with ankle fracture combined with Lisfranc injury.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 20 patients with ankle fracture and concomitant Lisfranc injury who had been treated between January 2014 and December 2023 at Department of Orthopedics, The 82nd Group Army Hospital of PLA. The cohort included 16 males and 4 females, with an age of (41.3±12.3) years. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their surgical sequence: an ankle-first group ( n=12) treated first by open reduction and internal fixation of the ankle fracture and then by additional incision reduction and fixation of the Lisfranc injury, and a foot-first group ( n=8) treated first by open reduction and fixation of the Lisfranc injury and then by another incision for open reduction and internal fixation of the ankle fracture. The surgical time, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, postoperative Lisfranc articular step-off, postoperative arch height index (AHI), and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and incidence of traumatic arthritis at 1 year after surgery were compared between the 2 groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (18.3±3.2) months after surgery. There was no statistically significant difference in surgical time or incidence of traumatic arthritis between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). In the ankle-first group, the intra-operative fluoroscopy frequency [(16.6±2.6) times] was significantly higher than that in the foot-first group [(13.6±2.5) times], and the postoperative Lisfranc articular step-off [0.0 (0.0, 0.8) mm], postoperative AHI [0.31 (0.29, 0.32)], and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score at 1 year after surgery [(85.2±2.2) points] were all significantly better than those in the foot-first group [(1.3±1.3) mm, 0.29±0.01, and (81.0±4.1) points] (all P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of ankle fracture combined with Lisfranc injury, prioritizing ankle fixation provides a stable biomechanical foundation for subsequent midfoot reduction, leading to improved functional recovery and radiographic outcomes, but requires increased intraoperative fluoroscopy.
