Objective: To explore the association between meat consumption and anxiety symptoms in first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province, and to provide theoretical support for preventing and relieving anxiety symptoms in junior high school students. Methods: From October to December 2022, a random cluster sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 counties in Yunnan Province as the survey subjects for a questionnaire survey. The study used Food Frequency Questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) to assess the meat consumption and anxiety symptoms of junior high school students.The distribution differences in anxiety symptoms among first year junior high school students with different demographic characteristics were analyzed statistically by using the Chi-square test,and the association between meat consumption and anxiety symptoms in students was analyzed by using a generalized linear model. Results: The detection rate of anxiety symptoms was 48.47%. After controlling for demographic variables and confounding factors, the consumption of livestock meat, poultry meat, processed meat, cured meat, barbecued meat and raw skin meat was statistically significant with anxiety symptoms ( β =-0.05, 0.04, 0.04, 0.08, 0.14, 0.17, all P <0.05). Stratified by ethnicity, The consumption of livestock meat, cured meat and barbecue was statistically correlated with anxiety symptoms in Han adolescents ( β =-0.07, 0.14, 0.22 ); the consumption of processed meat and raw skin meat was statistically correlated with anxiety symptoms in ethnic minority adolescents ( β =0.08, 0.18) (all P <0.05). Conclusions There is a statistical association between meat comsumption and the risk of anxiety symptoms in first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province. Guidance on meat consumption should be strengthened to prevent the occurrence of anxiety symptoms.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of selective internal radiation therapy （SIRT） in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma， and to provide a reference for the selection of clinical treatment regimens. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 73 patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who received yttrium-90 microsphere SIRT in Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from May 1， 2023 to September 1， 2024. According to tumor characteristics， physical status， liver reserve function， laboratory tests， and SIRT treatment strategy， the patients were divided into radiation segmentectomy group with 9 patients， conversion therapy group with 47 patients， and palliative treatment group with 17 patients. Based on the results of postoperative follow-up， modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors were used to assess radiographic images. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between three groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between three groups； the Logistic regression model was used to perform the multivariate analysis. ResultsThere was a significant difference in postoperative outcome between the radiation segmentectomy group， the conversion therapy group， and the palliative treatment group （χ²=30.060， P<0.001）. The disease control rate was 100.0% （9/9） in the radiation segmentectomy group， 83.0% （39/47） in the conversion therapy group， and 29.4% （5/17） in the palliative treatment group， with a significant difference between the three groups （χ²=19.575， P<0.001）， and there was also a significant difference in objective response rate between the three groups （χ²=17.749， P<0.001）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of tumors （odds ratio ［OR］=0.085， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.008 — 0.906， P=0.041） and combined targeted immunotherapy （OR=18.808， 95%CI： 1.704 — 207.616， P=0.017） were independent influencing factors for achieving complete response. ConclusionThe number of tumors is an independent influencing factor for the efficacy of SIRT and is an important basis for selecting different treatment goals. SIRT combined with targeted immunotherapy may achieve better efficacy.

Bruch's membrane opening(BMO)is the true anatomical border of the optic nerve head and provides higher anatomical accuracy, structural stability and measurement repeatability than traditional assessments based on the clinically visible optic disc margin. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)serves as a key technical tool for quantitative assessment of BMO-associated structural parameters. With the development of spectral-domain OCT(SD-OCT)and swept-source OCT(SS-OCT), parameters such as BMO-minimum rim width(BMO-MRW), BMO-minimum rim area(BMO-MRA), BMO area, offset, tilt, and torsion have emerged as important imaging biomarkers for evaluating optic nerve head morphology and for assisting in the diagnosis, staging, and longitudinal monitoring of glaucoma, myopia, and pathological myopia. Traditionally, the acquisition of these parameters has relied heavily on manual segmentation, which is limited by low efficiency, strong subjectivity, and considerable inter-observer variability. In recent years, artificial intelligence has been increasingly applied to OCT image segmentation, quality control, cross-device calibration, and automated quantitative analysis, thereby improving efficiency, objectivity, and reproducibility, particularly in eyes with complex optic disc morphology. This review summarizes recent advances in the BMO-related terminology standardization, imaging and quantitative methodologies, quality control,artificial intelligence-assisted analysis, as well as clinical evidence of its application in glaucoma, myopia and pathological myopia. Particular emphasis is placed on their potential value in the differential diagnosis and follow-up evaluation of highly myopic eyes with glaucoma, aiming to provide a reference for the standardized clinical application and future translational use of BMO-related parameters.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and endoscopic characteristics of patients with autoimmune gastritis (AIG).Methods:From January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2023, 73 AIG patients who visited Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical data of all the patients were analyzed, including gender, age, symptoms, laboratory examination results (such as serum hemoglobin, vitamin B 12, serum iron, gastrin, anti-parietal cell antibody (APCA), anti-intrinsic factor antibody (AIFA), Helicobacter pylori ( HP) infection status; the indicators were judged based on the normal reference value), and endoscopic and histopathological examination results. Descriptive statistical methods were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 73 AIG patients, there were 27 males (37.0%) and 46 females (63.0%), with a median age of 57 years old (ranged from 25 to 85 years old). Among the 73 AIG patients, 68 patients received APCA test, with a positivity rate of 88.2% (60/68); 67 patients took the AIFA test, with a positivity rate of 52.2%(35/67); 62 patients underwent both APCA and AIFA tests, of which 22 patients (35.5%) showed double positive. Serum level of vitamin B 12 was detected in 59 patients, and decreased in 27 cases (median level: 0.100 ng/L, mean level: 0.102 ng/L). Gastrin level was detected in 58 patients, and increased in 55 cases (median level: 0.930 ng/L, mean level: 1.203 ng/L). The levels of serum iron and ferritin were tested in 52 patients, the level of serum iron of 5 cases decreased, and the level of ferritin of 17 cases decreased (median level: 780.0 and 26.0 μg/L, mean level: 807.8 and 76.0 ng/L, respectively).Among the 73 AIG patients, the urea breath test was performed in 12 patients, and the result was positive in 6 cases. Endoscopic rapid urease test was performed in 69 patients, and the result was positive in 11 cases (15.9%). Regular blood analysis was performed in 71 patients, 24 cases (33.8%) were diagnosed with anemia, the median age of patients with anemia was 55 years old, and male-to-female ratio was 1∶5. There were 6 cases of iron-deficiency anemia and 5 cases of pernicious anemia. The endoscopic examination results of 73 patients indicated that 65 cases (89.0%) with mucosal atrophy under endoscopy, including 47 cases (64.4%) with mucosal atrophy in the gastric fundus and body, and 18 cases (24.7%) with whole gastric atrophy, more obviously in the gastric body. The pathological examination results showed type Ⅰ gastric neuroendocrine tumor(g-NET) in 35 cases (47.9%). Conclusions:The early clinical symptoms of AIG patients are nonspecific, often present with anemia and vitamin B 12 deficiency. Close monitoring of serological markers including APCA, AIFA and gastrin is essential. For patients diagnosed or suspected with AIG, intervals of endoscopic surveillance should be shortened to prevent the genesis and development of neoplasms such as g-NET.

AIM:To evaluate the pharmacokinet-ics(PK)and pharmacodynamics(PD)of two recom-binant human insulin injection by euglycemic clamp technology in healthy male subjects after a single subcutaneous injection.METHODS:We con-ducted a randomized,open-label,single dose,two period,crossover study.A total of 24 healthy male subjects were enrolled and randomized to receive single subcutaneous doses(0.2 U/kg)of the investi-gational products every period.The PK and PD characteristics were assessed by euglycemic clamp up to 14 hours after dosing.RESULTS:Euglycemic clamp technique was successfully established.C-peptide levels detected at each time point before and after administration indicated that endoge-nous insulin secretion was inhibited in the two groups after administration.The geometric mean ratio of Cmax and AUC0-tand 90％confidence interval(CI)of test preparation and reference preparation under fasting condition were in the range of 80.00％-125.00％.CONCLUSION:The human insulin produced by KP Biotech demonstrated similarity to the reference preparation Humulin? in PK and PD characteristics in healthy Chinese subjects.

Objective:To explore the stratified treatment plan process for neonatal congenital chylothorax by summarizing its clinical treatment characteristics.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 36 neonates with congenital chylothorax treated at the Department of Neonatology of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2021. Based on different treatment methods and initial drainage volumes, the cases were divided into the conservative treatment group [initial drainage volume<20 ml/(kg·d), n=20], octreotide group [initial drainage volume ≥20-<30 ml/(kg·d), n=4], erythromycin group [initial drainage volume ≥30-<50 ml/(kg·d), n=6], and octreotide plus erythromycin group [initial drainage volume≥50 ml/(kg·d), n=6]. The clinical characteristics and treatment effects of the children in different treatment groups, as well as the choice of further treatment plans, were summarized to determine the timing of different treatment methods. A more standardized stratified treatment plan was formulated by combining the literature. Results:Among the 36 cases of congenital chylothorax, 18 cases (50.0%) were diagnosed in utero, with no intrauterine intervention. In the conservative treatment group, 20 cases were treated with respiratory support, thoracic drainage, and nutritional therapy. Except for one case who was discharged after abandoning treatment, the remaining 19 cases were cured. In the octreotide group, four children received continuous intravenous infusion of octreotide at doses ranging from 1 to 10 μg/(kg·h), with three cases improving and one case being cured. No adverse effects such as hypoglycemia, thyroid dysfunction, or neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis occurred. In the group of six children who received intrapleural erythromycin injections, the dosage of erythromycin was 25-30 mg/kg, and the median thoracic drainage volume was reduced to approximately 50% of the pre-treatment volume after 3-5 injections, with four cases improving and two cases being cured. In the group of six children who received octreotide combined with erythromycin, treatment involved the intravenous infusion of octreotide along with intrapleural erythromycin injections. Four cases showed improvement, and two cases were cured. Based on previous treatments and a comprehensive review of the literature, a stratified treatment flowchart with invasiveness ranging from low to high was finally formed. Conclusions:For congenital chylothorax, a stratified treatment approach is recommended based on initial drainage volume and the response to treatment. This approach ranges from conservative treatment to pharmacological treatment (intravenous infusion of octreotide). For children with poor outcomes, surgical treatment (intrapleural erythromycin injection or other surgical interventions) can be added.

Accurate characterization of the chemical composition of complex traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an essential foundation for the modern scientific interpretation of TCM principles. Mass spectrometry is the most dominant technique in current research on the material basis of TCM, offering the highest sensitivity and the richest information provision. Establishing mass spectrometry databases represents the most effective approach to facilitating the structural analysis of TCM chemical components. This paper systematically searches and reviews literature published from January 2005 to January 2025 through online databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, and Web of Science, using “mass spectrometry database” and “traditional Chinese medicine” as keywords. It reviews the current status of seven TCM chemical component mass spectrometry databases and seven natural product mass spectrometry databases. The key advancements of these mass spectrometry databases for natural products are summarized, detailing their characteristics, search methodologies, included information, and data sources. Additionally, challenges related to data quality, standardization, timely updates, database interaction, retrieval functionality, and data sharing and security are discussed in depth. Furthermore, the paper explores prospective development directions for TCM mass spectrometry databases, emphasizing the importance of open data sharing, technological innovation, and data security. Through this analysis, the paper aims to offer theoretical guidance and practical recommendations for the precise identification of TCM components, as well as for the construction and application of these databases.

Objective:Based on HyperArc stereotactic radiotherapy(SRT)technique,six-dimensional free bed combined with double mask fixation was used to treat intracranial tumors,and the positioning errors of within batch and between batches were analyzed,so as to provide basis for the accuracy of clinical treatment of this technique.Methods:A total of 13 patients with intracranial tumors who admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from March to July 2023 were retrospectively selected,and they were treated by using HyperArc SRT technique.The validation images of cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT)of within batch and between batches during treatment were analyzed.The positioning errors of three translational direction[left and right(x),head and foot(y)and abdominal and dorsal(z)]and rotational direction were analyzed.The each positioning error was set as group A,and the remaining error after the positioning error was corrected through six-dimensional free bed was set as group B,and the error post treatment was set as group C.The difference between group B and group C was defined as the change of within batch.According to the margin formula,the positioning error of within batch was used to calculate the required range of margin.Results:Under the mode of six-dimensional free bed correction combined with double mask fixation,a total of 59 times of HyperArc SRT on head were performed.In the comparison of the average errors on the six-dimensional direction among groups A,B and C,the errors of group A on x direction and y direction were respectively(0.119±0.039)and(-0.133±0.047)cm,and the differences of them between group A and group B[(0.004±0.002)and(0.018±0.005)cm]were significant(t=2.890,-3.224,P<0.05).There were no significant differences on other directions between the two groups(P>0.05).The error of RX direction of group B was(0.033±0.021)°,and the difference of that between group B and group C[(0.122±0.045)°]was significant(t=-2.306,P<0.05),while there were no significant differences on other directions(P>0.05).In the margin of the design of the plan of intracranial tumors,the x,y and z directions were respectively 0.6,0.9 and 0.4 mm.Conclusion:In the radiotherapy of using HyperArc SRT technique for intracranial tumors,the use of six-dimensional free bed combined with double mask treatment can significantly shorten the margin,and ensure accurate irradiation for gross tumor volume(GTV)and simultaneously reduce the irradiation volume and dose of surrounding normal tissue.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-related protein 5(CTRP5),fibronectin-3(Ficolin-3),and CXC chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12)and microvascular lesions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 75 patients with T2DM microangiopathy admitted to the Seventh People's Hos-pital of Zhengzhou from January 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the observation group.At the same time,150 T2DM pa-tients without microangiopathy were included as the control group according to the principle of 1∶2 matching of age,gender and body mass index(BMI).The general information,blood glucose indicators,Homa-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR),and serum CTRP5,Ficolin-3,and CXCL12 levels of the two groups were statistically analyzed by hospital medical staff.The Logistic re-gression equation was used to analyze the influencing factors of the onset of microvascular lesions in T2DM.The relationship be-tween the levels of serum CTRP5,Ficolin-3,and CXCL12 and microvascular lesions in T2DM was analyzed using smooth curve fitting method.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and area under the curve(AUC)were used to analyze the pre-dictive value of serum CTRP5,Ficolin-3,and CXCL12 for T2DM microvascular lesions.Results There were no significant differences in gender,age,BMI,duration of T2DM,abdominal circumference,DBP,SBP,TC,HDL-C,TG,LDL-C,smoking his-tory and drinking history between the two groups(all P＞0.05).FPG,2hPG,HbA1c and HOMA-IR in the observation group were significantly higher than in the control group(all P＜0.05).The serum levels of CTRP5,Ficolin-3 and CXCL12 in the ob-servation group were significantly higher than in the control group(all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that FPG,2hPG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR,CTRP5,Ficolin-3 and CXCL12 were the influencing factors of T2DM microangiopathy(all P＜0.05).After adjusting for FPG,2hPG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR and other confounding factors,the relationship between serum Fico-lin-3,CTRP5,CXCL12 and T2DM microangiopathy was analyzed by curve fitting,the results showed that serum Ficolin-3,CTRP5,CXCL12 were linearly positively correlated with T2DM microangiopathy,with the increase of their levels,the risk of T2DM microangiopathy increased.The ROC curve showed that the AUC of serum Ficolin-3,CTRP5 and CXCL12 levels in pre-dicting T2DM microvascular lesions was 0.756,0.761 and 0.791,respectively.The AUC of combined prediction was 0.931,and the sensitivity and specificity were 90.67％and 80.00％,respectively.Delong test showed that the AUC of combined prediction was significantly greater than that of single prediction(Z=32.123,P＜0.01).Conclusion The changes in serum levels of CTRP5,Ficolin-3,and CXCL12 are closely related to microvascular lesions in patients with T2DM,providing a reference for ear-ly clinical prediction and evaluation of microvascular lesions in patients with T2DM,as well as for the development of corre-sponding intervention strategies.

Objective·To develop a graph neural network(GNN)-based auxiliary diagnostic model for gallbladder cancer on CT images,and validate its accuracy and feasibility.Methods·From January 2010 to November 2023,1 774 contrast-enhanced CT arterial-phase images were acquired from 887 patients with normal gallbladder,benign gallbladder disease,or gallbladder cancer at Xinhua Hospital and Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.These images were randomly divided into training and testing sets at a 4∶1 ratio to develop a hybrid GNN-convolutional neural network(CNN)model,named VJK-GIN.The model constructed a pixel-level graph in which each pixel served as a node,and spatial adjacency defined the edges,enabling extraction of local texture features.In the model architecture design,VJK-GIN integrated a three-layer graph isomorphism network,augmented with virtual nodes and jump-knowledge connections;global pooling compressed node features into a graph-level representation,which was classified by a multi-layer perceptron head.Five-fold cross-validation was used to compare VJK-GIN with GNN baselines(GCN,GraphSAGE,GAT,and GIN)and CNN baselines(ViT,EfficientNetV2,and ConvNeXt)in terms of accuracy,precision,recall,F1-score,and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Results·The results of five-fold cross-validation showed that VJK-GIN achieved an F1-score of 0.799(95%CI 0.775?0.823),recall of 0.795(95%CI 0.773?0.817),precision of 0.799(95%CI 0.775?0.823),AUC of 0.812(95%CI 0.792?0.832),and accuracy of 0.773(95%CI 0.748?0.798),surpassing all competing models across every metric.Conclusion·The VJK-GIN model exhibits high stability and accuracy in identifying contrast-enhanced CT images of normal,benign,and malignant gallbladder conditions.
