Uterine arteriovenous fistula (UAVF), a relatively rare vascular anomaly, may lead to life-threatening hemorrhage and poses diagnostic and management challenges for primary hospitals during initial encounters. This article reports four cases of UAVF treated with Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets at Department of Gynaecology, Zhuji Maternal and Child Health Hospital between 2023 and 2024. Combined with literature review, we systematically analyzed the etiological mechanisms, clinical characteristics, and diagnostic-therapeutic strategies of this condition, with particular focus on evaluating the efficacy and safety of conservative pharmacological management. By summarizing case features and individualized treatment protocols, this study aims to provide clinical references for early identification, accurate diagnosis, and rational intervention of UAVF, thereby reducing risks of massive hemorrhage and long-term complications while improving patient prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of combining Omalizumab with compound glycyrrhetinic acid glycoside in the management of chronic urticaria that exhibits poor response to antihistamine therapy.Methods 92 patients with chronic urticaria who were treated with H1 antihistamines and still had symp-toms from February 2022 to February 2024 in the hospital were selected as the study subjects.The study partici-pants were randomly assigned to either the observation group,consisting of 46 cases,or the control group,also comprising 46 cases,using a random number table method.The control group received subcutaneous injection of omalizumab for treatment.The observation group was treated with oral compound glycyrrhizin tablets on the basis of the control group.After 24 weeks of treatment,compare the efficacy,adverse reactions,Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days(UAS7),Dermatology Life Quality Index(DLQI),Immunoglobulin(Ig)E,and High Sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs CRP)between the two groups,and record the recurrence rate.Results After treatment,the UAS7,DLQI,IgE and hs-CRP of both groups of patients decreased compared to before treatment,and the observation group demonstrated lower results compared to the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the overall effectiveness rate in the observation group exceeded that of the control group(P<0.05),and the recurrence rate was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups of drugs(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination therapy of omali-zumab and compound glycyrrhetinic acid glycoside in the treatment of chronic urticaria patients with low response to antihistamines helps reduce IgE expression,improve treatment effectiveness,lower recurrence rates,and does not increase adverse drug reactions.

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential mechanism of Cigu Xiaozhi Prescription(CGXP)in the treatment of non-alco-holic steatohepatitis(NASH)liver fibrosis.METHODS A NASH mouse model was established.The degree of liver enlargement was evaluated by calculating the liver index.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining were used to observe the degree of liver fibro-sis.In addition,immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of liver fibrosis-related proteins,including α-SMA,Collagen 1,MMP2,and MMP9.Western blot and qPCR techniques were used to detect the expression levels of HIF-1α,E-cadher-in,N-cadherin,Shh,Smo,Gli1,and Gli2 in the mouse liver.The alkaline hydrolysis method was used to measure the content of liv-er hydroxyproline.RESULTS CGXP could effectively reduce the liver index(P<0.001),alleviate liver enlargement and inflamma-tion,and significantly improve the pathological damage of liver tissue in mice with liver fibrosis.CGXP significantly decreased the ex-pression levels of liver fibrosis-related proteins α-SMA,Collagen 1,MMP2 and MMP9(P<0.01,P<0.000 1);reduced the levels of HIF-1α,E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Shh,Smo,Gli1,and Gli2,and the therapeutic effect of high-dose CGXP was particularly significant(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001,P<0.000 1).CONCLUSION CGXP can relieve NASH liver fibrosis in mice by reducing the liver index,alleviating inflammation,and improving tissue pathological damage.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the Hedgehog signaling pathway,which alters the activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells and reduces the synthesis and dep-osition of extracellular matrix.

ObjectiveTo assess the level of health literacy and its influencing factors among middle school students aged 12‒18 years in Jing’an District, Shanghai, so as to provide a solid scientific foundation for further developing more targeted intervention measures. MethodsA stratified cluster random sampling method was used to randomly select 4 middle schools in Jing’an District, Shanghai from November to December 2023, and conducted a health literacy questionnaire survey on non-graduating middle and high school students, respectively. The2023 Survey on the Status of Health Literacy among Middle School Students in Jing’an District, Shanghai was adopted, which consisted of two parts: health literacy and basic information. Health literacy was divided into three dimensions: health knowledge and concept literacy, healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy, and health skill literacy. Three dimensions could be categorized into six types of health literacy issue: scientific health literacy, infectious disease prevention and control literacy, chronic disease prevention and control literacy, safety and first aid literacy, basic health literacy, and health information literacy. ResultsA total of 1 161 middle school students were enrolled into this study, including 571 males and 570 females. The overall health literacy level of middle school students was 33.51%, with 34.81% among middle school students and 31.69% among high school students, respectively. Results of logistic regression analysis showed that health knowledge acquisition and awareness, as well as application frequency of health knowledge, were the influencing factors for the overall health literacy level among middle school students (P<0.05). The degree of family attention to health maintenance, health knowledge acquisition and awareness, and application frequency of health knowledge were the main influencing factors for the three dimensions and literacy of six types of health issues among middle school students (P<0.05). ConclusionThe levels of different types of health literacy among middle school students in Jing’an District are uneven, with the highest being safety and first aid literacy and the lowest being basic health literacy. It is recommended to take targeted measures to comprehensively improve the health literacy level of middle school students.

Objective: To investigate the current status and trends of depressive symptoms among middle school and college students in Hunan Province, and to explore the primary related factors of depressive symptoms, so as to provide a scientific basis for strengthening mental health among students. Methods: A total of 279 382 students in Hunan Province were selected through a stratified cluster random sampling method from 2021 to 2023. National Survey Questionnaire on Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors among Students was adopted for the survey, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale was used to assess their depressive symptoms. The χ 2 test and trend χ 2 test were used to analyze depressive symptoms prevalence and trends, and multivariable Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of depressive symptoms. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms among students in Hunan Province from 2021 to 2023 were 19.66%, 20.17% and 21.47%, respectively, showing an upward trend ( χ 2 trend =9.07, P <0.01). In addition, the results of the multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that students with healthy diet ( OR=0.43, 95%CI =0.40-0.45), adequate sleep ( OR=0.88, 95%CI =0.86-0.90), and acceptable screen time ( OR=0.61, 95%CI =0.60-0.62) had lower risks in depressive symptoms detection, while students with smoking ( OR= 1.95, 95%CI =1.88-2.02), secondhand smoke exposure ( OR=1.33, 95%CI =1.30-1.36) and Internet addiction ( OR= 4.19 , 95%CI =4.05-4.34) had higher risks in depressive symptoms detection, with differences in the degree of association among different genders, educational stages and urban rural groups ( OR=0.40-6.04, Z =-12.69-11.98) ( P <0.05). Conclusions There is an increasing trend of depressive symptoms among middle school and college students in Hunan Province from 2021 to 2023.Targeted depression prevention measures should be taken for students with different demographic characteristics to promote their mental health.
