Background: This study was performed to characterize the incidence, costs, and risk factors associated with renal and cardiovascular adverse outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Patients with STEMI who underwent pPCI using iso-osmolar contrast were enrolled at 39 centers. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and major adverse renal and cardiovascular events (MARCE) was analyzed, as well as inpatient costs. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors. Results: Among 2,293 patients, the incidence of AKI and MARCE within 72 hours post-pPCI was 4.14% (n = 95) and 4.40% (n = 101), respectively. AKI and/or MARCE were associated with systolic blood pressure (AKI: odds ratio [OR], 1.009; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.000–1.018), hypertension (AKI: OR, 1.815; 95% CI, 1.133–2.906; MARCE: OR, 1.760;95% CI, 1.118–2.769), anterior wall infarction (AKI: OR, 1.895; 95% CI, 1.196–3.004; MARCE:OR, 1.939; 95% CI, 1.240–3.032), Killip class (AKI: OR, 1.465; 95% CI, 1.117–1.922; MARCE:OR, 1.467; 95% CI, 1.131–1.903), and serum creatinine (SCr; MARCE: OR, 1.006; 95% CI, 1.000–1.012). Hospitalization costs for patients with STEMI who developed AKI or MARCE were significantly higher than for those without AKI (9,595 ± 5,795 vs. 8,279 ± 3,872 USD, P = 0.003) or without MARCE (9,890 ± 5,616 vs. 8,255 ± 3,859 USD, P < 0.001). Conclusions In patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI with iso-osmolar contrast, the incidence of AKI and MARCE was associated with higher hospitalization costs. Systolic blood pressure, hypertension, anterior wall infarction, Killip class, and SCr were identified as risk factors for these outcomes.

Objective: To identify research priorities on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a theoretical base for improving their physical and mental health. Methods: In May 2025, 77 experts in the fields of health and education from 11 cities in Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling method to participate in the first round of expert consultation. In June, 2025, snowball sampling was used to expand to 194 experts for the second round of consultation, and it was convenient to select 21 students from primary schools to high schools in Zhejiang Province and 29 parents to empower the evaluation criteria. It applied the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method in a structured process, which encompassed the definition of the research field, generation of research ideas, scoring, and quantitative ranking of priorities. Research ideas were evaluated against 6 predefined criteria: effectiveness, safety, answerability, feasibility, sustainability, and scientific significance. Results: After 2 rounds of structured consultations, 81 research ideas on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents were established and classified into 7 subthemes: epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors, optimization of primary service systems and policies, comprehensive intervention strategies for physical and mental comorbidity, biological mechanisms and clinical research, the impact of education and environment on physical and mental health, special populations and social support, and digital and technology driven disease prevention and intervention. The top 10 research priorities primarily centered on the subdomain of "epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors" (5 items). The top 3 research priorities were "the association between outdoor activity duration and the incidence of common diseases (including mental disorders) among children and adolescents" "the impact of outdoor activity duration on the physical and mental health of adolescents" "comprehensive intervention strategies for myopia, obesity, and their comorbidities among children and adolescents". Conclusion The framework of priority issues in the field of psychosomatic comorbidity of children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province based on CHNRI method provides a reference for optimizing the allocation of provincial research resources.

Objective To provide a comprehensive review of the modeling method of the empty bottle stimulation(EBS)anxiety model,including commonly used experimental animal strains and genders,animal grouping,modeling procedures,modeling duration,primary behavioral evaluation method,and the underlying pathological mechanisms.This aims to offer a reference for the application of the EBS anxiety model in anxiety disorder research.Methods Searches were conducted in databases such as CNKI and PubMed to collect all literature related to the EBS anxiety model,which were then systematically summarized and organized.Results(1)Male adult SD or Wistar rats are predominantly used as experimental animals;(2)The optimal modeling period is 2 weeks;(3)Behavioral evaluations primarily utilize the open field test,elevated plus maze test,and light-dark box test;(4)Pathological mechanisms involve abnormal neurotransmitter metabolism in brain regions such as the hippocampus,prefrontal cortex,and amygdala.Conclusions The EBS anxiety model exhibits an anxiety-like behavioral phenotype and associated neurobiological mechanisms,validating its utility as an animal model for the study of anxiety disorders.However,further exploration and refinement are required for its standardized construction protocol and the understanding of its mechanistic underpinnings.

OBJECTIVE To explore the changes of serum mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase(MITOL),β-endorphin(β-EP)and chemokine 10(CXCL10)in the patients with herpes zoster(HZ)virus infection and analyze the predic-tive values.METHODS A total of 137 patients with HZ virus infection who were treated in Jinhua Fifth Hospital from Jan.2022 to Jan.2024 were assigned as the infection group,meanwhile,100 healthy people who received physical examination were chosen as the healthy group.The clinical data were compared between the two groups,the levels of serum MITOL,β-EP and CXCL10 were detected for the two groups of participants.The changes of the above indexes were observed and compared.The values of serum MITOL,β-EP and CXCL10 in prediction of HZ virus infection were analyzed by means of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.RESULTS There were significant differences in the levels of serum MITOL,β-EP and CXCL10 between the infection group and the healthy group(P＜0.05).As the serum MITOL,β-EP and CXCL10 were used for prediction of HZ virus infec-tion,the area under the curve(AUC)of the CXCL10 was the highest 0.932,with the sensitivity 91.24％,the specificity 81.00％;the AUC of the joint detection of the three indexes was 0.882,with the specificity 99.00％,the sensitivity 77.37％(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS The patients with HZ virus infection show the decline of MI-TOL and β-EP levels and the rise of CXCL10 level.The three indexes have high values in prediction of HZ virus infection,with the CXCL10 showing the best prediction efficiency.The indexes can be used for prediction of illness condition of the patients with HZ virus infection.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of sleep interruption(SI)cycles on emotional behavior in ICR mice,and to establish a mouse model of comorbid anxiety and depression induced by SI.Methods Seventy-two male ICR mice(4～5 weeks old)were divided randomly into a blank group and a model group.Mice in the model group were subjected to SI stress modeling for 1,2,and 3 weeks,respectively.After modeling,emotional behaviors were evaluated using open-field,elevated plus maze,light-dark box,marble-burying,and forced-swimming tests.Serum corticosterone levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Mice in the model group buried significantly more marbles after 1 week of SI stress,compared with the blank group(P＜0.05).After 2 weeks of stress,mice in the model group also showed a significant decrease in the number of crossings in the light-dark box(P＜0.05)and a significant increase in the number of marbles buried(P＜0.01)compared with the control group.After 3 weeks of stress,mice in the model group showed a significant increase in the number of marbles buried(P＜0.05),a significant decrease in the number of crossings in the light-dark box(P＜0.05),and a significant increase in immobility time in the forced-swim test(P＜0.01).Conclusions ICR mice exhibited significant anxiety-related behaviors after 2 weeks of SI modeling and significant anxiety-and depressive-related behavioral changes after 3 weeks.Three weeks of SI stress can be used to establish a model of comorbid anxiety and depression.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of modified Yiqi Huayu pelvic inflammation decoction combined with retention enema of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and moxibustion at Shenque acupoint in the treatment of patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID).Methods:A total of 120 CPID patients admitted to the Qian′an City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2023 to June 2024 were prospectively enrolled and randomly divided into the control group (60 cases, treated with modified Yiqi Huayu pelvic inflammation decoction) and the observation group (60 cases, treated with modified Yiqi Huayu pelvic inflammation decoction plus TCM retention enema and moxibustion at Shenque acupoint) using a random number table. Each course of treatment was 3 weeks, with drug withdrawal for 1 week during menstruation, and continuous treatment for 2 courses. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was observed. The TCM symptom scores, blood microcirculation indicators [whole blood low shear viscosity (LBV), whole blood high shear viscosity (HBV), platelet aggregation rate (PAR), hematocrit (HCT)], and serum inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-2 (IL-2), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)] before and after treatment were compared. The patients were followed up for 3 months after treatment to compare the incidence of adverse reactions and recurrence between the two groups.Results:The total clinical effective rate of the observation group (95.00%, 57/60) was higher than that of the control group (83.33%, 50/60) ( P<0.05). After treatment, the individual scores of main and secondary symptoms and the total score of TCM syndrome in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of LBV, HBV, PAR, HCT, TNF-α, IL-2, HMGB1, and GM-CSF in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). During the 3-month follow-up after treatment, the recurrence rate of the observation group was 3.33%(2/60), which was lower than 15.00%(9/60) of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Modified Yiqi Huayu pelvic inflammation decoction combined with TCM retention enema and moxibustion at Shenque acupoint has a definite efficacy in the treatment of CPID. It can effectively relieve clinical symptoms, improve blood microcirculation and inflammatory factor levels of patients, with a low short-term recurrence rate and no significant increase in the incidence of adverse reactions.

Salmonella,an important foodborne pathogen,is responsible for numerous diseases in both humans and animals.We conducted a genome-wide analysis of Salmonella isolates from diarrheal and foodborne infection cases in Gansu Province between 2021 and 2023.A total of 163 Salmonella strains were collected and subjected to biochemical identification,followed by serological typing,whole-genome sequencing,and bioinformatics characterization.The results revealed 27 distinct serotypes,among which Sal-monella typhimurium variant(S.4,[5],12∶1∶-),Salmonella enteritidis,and Salmonella enterica London were predominant.Notably,the serotype distribution exhibited significant variation across sample sources.Multilocus sequence typing(MLST)classified the iso-lates into 27 sequence types(STs),among which ST34,ST11,ST155,and ST19 had the highest prevalence.The MLST profiles dem-onstrated strong concordance with serological classifications.For Salmonella,we detected a total of 17 673 virulence genes in 374 cat-egories,carrying multiple virulence islands.Some strains carried virulence plasmid genes,among which 45 strains of Salmonella enter-itidis had higher types and numbers of virulence factors detected than other serotypes of Salmonella.Antimicrobial resistance profiling identified 69 resistance genes conferring resistance to 13 classes of antimicrobial agents,and multidrug resistance patterns were preva-lent among isolates.Plasmid characterization revealed 35 plasmid types,some containing antimicrobial resistance determinants.Addi-tionally,three disinfectant resistance genes were identified.This study highlights the extensive diversity of Salmonella serotypes and STs in Gansu Province and the complex repertoire of virulence and resistance genes.The emergence of disinfectant resistance genes un-derscores challenges in conventional disinfection protocols.These findings provide critical insights for refining Salmonella surveillance and control strategies in public health and food safety contexts.
