Objective: To explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution and depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents, so as to provide evidences for informing constitution based regulation and prevention of depressive symptom. Methods: From June to December 2024, a total of 4 729 students aged 6-14 were recruited by cluster random sampling from 10 primary schools in Baoding (Hebei Province), Heze and Liaocheng (Shandong Province). General information, TCM constitution and depressive symptom were collected. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to analyze related factors and threshold effects of depressive symptom. Binary Logistic regression was applied to examine the association between depressive symptom and TCM constitution, with subgroup analyses conducted. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptom among the included children and adolescents was 25.82%. RCS analyses indicated non linear associations between depressive symptom and age (inflection point at 10 years old), bedtime (inflection point at 22:00), and wake up time (inflection point at 6:30 ) (all P non linearity <0.01). Linear associations were observed with body mass index (BMI) and sleep duration (all P non linearity > 0.05 ). After adjusting for covariates such as age, BMI and sleep status, binary Logistic regression analyses showed that Yin deficient constitution ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.09-1.45) and Phlegm-dampness constitution ( OR =1.42, 95% CI =1.11-1.82) were significantly associated with depressive symptom among children and adolescents (all P <0.05). Conclusions Depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents is primarily associated with Yin deficiency and Phlegm dampness constitutions in TCM constitution. Active attention should be paid to susceptible TCM constitution among children and adolescents. Targeted health guidance and interventions should be implemented to improve TCM constitution health status for preventing the occurrence of depressive symptom.

Objective:To investigate the surgical situations and perioperative outcome of pancreaticoduodenectomy in Jiangsu Province and the influencing factors for postoperative 90-day mortality.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 2 886 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in 21 large tertiary hospitals of Jiangsu Quality Control Center for Pancreatic Diseases, including The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from March 2021 to December 2022 were collected. There were 1 732 males and 1 154 females, aged 65(57,71)years. Under the framework of the Jiangsu Provincial Pancreatic Disease Quality Control Project, the Jiangsu Quality Control Center for Pancreatic Diseases adopted a multi-center registration research method to establish a provincial electronic database for pancrea-ticoduodenectomy. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics; (2) intraoperative and post-operative conditions; (3) influencing factors for 90-day mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(IQR), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or constituent ratio, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test, continuity correction chi-square test and Fisher exact probability. Maximal Youden index method was used to determine the cutoff value of continuous variables. Univariate analysis was performed using the corresponding statistical methods based on data types. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic multiple regression model. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics. Of the 2 886 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, there were 1 175 and 1 711 cases in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Of the 21 hospitals, 8 hospitals had an average annual surgical volume of <36 cases for pancreaticoduodenectomy, 10 hospitals had an average annual surgical volume of 36-119 cases, and 3 hospitals had an average annual surgical volume of ≥120 cases. There were 2 584 cases performed pancreaticoduodenectomy in thirteen hospitals with an average annual surgical volume of ≥36 cases, accounting for 89.536%(2 584/2 886)of the total cases. There were 1 357 cases performed pancrea-ticoduodenectomy in three hospitals with an average annual surgical volume of ≥120 cases, accounting for 47.020%(1 357/2 886) of the total cases. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. Of the 2 886 patients, the surgical approach was open surgery in 2 397 cases, minimally invasive surgery in 488 cases, and it is unknown in 1 case. The pylorus was preserved in 871 cases, not preserved in 1 952 cases, and it is unknown in 63 cases. Combined organ resection was performed in 305 cases (including vascular resection in 209 cases), not combined organ resection in 2 579 cases, and it is unknown in 2 cases. The operation time of 2 885 patients was 290(115)minutes, the volume of intra-operative blood loss of 2 882 patients was 240(250)mL, and the intraoperative blood transfusion rate of 2 880 patients was 27.153%(782/2 880). Of the 2 886 patients, the invasive treatment rate was 11.342%(327/2 883), the unplanned Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment rate was 3.087%(89/2 883), the reoperation rate was 1.590%(45/2 830), the duration of postoperative hospital stay was 17(11)days, the hospitalization mortality rate was 0.798%(23/2 882), and the failure rate of rescue data in 2 083 cases with severe complications was 6.529%(19/291). There were 2 477 patients receiving postoperative 90-day follow-up, with the 90-day mortality of 2.705%(67/2477). The total incidence rate of complication in 2 886 patients was 58.997%(1 423/2 412). The incidence rate of severe complication was 13.970%(291/2 083). The comprehensive complication index was 8.7(22.6) in 2 078 patients. (3) Influencing factors for 90-day mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results of multivariate analysis showed that age ≥ 70 years, postoperative invasive treatment, and unplanned ICU treatment were independent risk factors for 90-day mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy ( odds ratio=2.403, 2.609, 16.141, 95% confidence interval as 1.281-4.510, 1.298-5.244, 7.119-36.596, P<0.05). Average annual surgical volume ≥36 cases in the hospital was an independent protective factor for 90-day mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy ( odds ratio=0.368, 95% confidence interval as 0.168-0.808, P<0.05). Conclusions:Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Jiangsu Province is highly con-centrated in some hospitals, with a high incidence of postoperative complications, and the risk of postoperative 90-day mortality is significant higher than that of hospitallization mortality. Age ≥ 70 years, postoperative invasive treatment, and unplanned ICU treatment are independent risk factors for 90-day motality after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and average annual surgical volume ≥36 cases in the hospital is an independent protective factor.

Objective:To investigate whether intestinal rehabilitation therapy (IRT)could optimize the effectiveness of IRT in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) caused by acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) with chronic multivessel lesions.Methods:Clinical data of 18 hospitalized patients diagnosed with AMI leading to SBS and undergoing IRT at the Eastern Theater General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from Jan 2012 to Oct 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.Result:Following IRT, the revascularization group showed significantly greater increases in ASMI and grip strength compared to the control group [(0.28±0.26) kg/m 2vs. (0.02±0.21) kg/m 2, P=0.033, and (0.97±0.33) kg vs. (0.48±0.34) kg, P=0.007, respectively]. Similarly, the increase in EN intake was significantly higher in the revascularization group compared to the control group [(572.5±93.6) ml/d vs. (375.2±176.3) ml/d, P=0.012], accompanied by a greater improvement in intestinal nitrogen absorption rate [(25.06±14.06)% vs. (13.84±4.62)%, P=0.034] and a more substantial decrease in GSRS scores [(-15.88±3.94) vs. (-6.33±5.13), P=0.030]. Moreover, there were significant differences in the composition of EN formulations between the two groups after IRT ( P=0.046). Additionally, SF-36 scores at discharge were significantly higher in the revascularization group than that in the control group for five indicators including BP, GH, VT, SF, and MH ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For patients with SBS resulting from AMI by chronic multivessel lesions, revascularization therapy may not leading to higher growth in weight and hematological nutritional indicators during IRT, but it is beneficial for improving muscle function, improving EN absorption, increasing the likelihood of PN independence, relieving gastrointestinal symptoms, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Objective To investigate the effects of sugammadex on postoperative pulmonary com-plications(PPCs)and postoperative recovery after thoracoscopic lung resection surgery.Methods A total of 263 patients scheduled for thoracoscopic lung resection surgery between November 2021 and July 2023,112 males and 151 females,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18.5-28.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ,were randomly divided into three groups:the sugammadex group(group S,n=88),the neostigmine group(group N,n=87),and the control group(group C,n=88).The patient was sent to postanesthesia care unit(PACU)after operation,when the train of four(TOF)count reached 2,group S was given sugamma-dex 2 mg/kg,group N was given neostigmine 0.04 mg/kg+atropine 0.02 mg/kg,and group C was given equal volume of normal saline.The incidence of PPCs from the end of the surgery to the time of discharge was recorded.The time from the end of surgery to extubation,the time from drug administration to recovery of the train of four ratio(TOFr)to 0.9,the TOFr immediately after extubation,the length of stay in PACU,hypoxemia after extubation(SpO2＜90％)were recorded,and the incidence rate of postoperative residual neuromuscular block(PRNB)was calculated.The time of first getting out of the bed for activity,the number of total and effective compressions by the analgesia pump within 48 hours after surgery,the inci-dence of rescue analgesia,the clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS),the numbers of postoperative nau-sea and vomiting(PONV),total drainage of the chest tube,duration of the chest tube insertion,and the length of postoperative hospital stay were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the incidence of PPCs,PRNB and hypoxemia after extubation were significantly decreased,time from the end of surgery to extubation,time from drug administration to recovery of TOFr to 0.9,the length of stay in PACU,and the first postoperatively out of bed activity time were significantly shortened,the TOFr immediately after extuba-tion was significantly increased,and CPIS was significantly decreased in group S(P＜0.05);the time from the end of surgery to extubation,time from drug administration to recovery of TOFr to 0.9,the length of stay in PACU were significantly shortened,the TOFr immediately after extubation was significantly in-creased,PRNB after extubation were significantly decreased in group N(P＜0.05).Compared with group N,the incidence of PRNB after extubation were significantly decreased,the time from the end of surgery to extubation,the time from drug administration to recovery of TOFr to 0.9,the length of stay in PACU,and the first postoperatively out of bed activity time were significantly shortened,the TOFr immediately after ex-tubation was significantly increased in group S(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in other in-dexes between the three groups.Conclusion Sugammadex can rapidly antagonize the residual muscle re-laxation,decrease the rate of PPCs and PRNB,and promote rapid recovery of patients after thoracoscopic lung resection surgery.

ObjectiveTo systematically explore the roles and contributions of the sovereign drug Gypsum Fibrosum contained in Baihu Guizhitang （BHGZT） against rheumatoid arthritis （RA） with heat syndrome from property-efficacy association by an approach integrating transcriptomics with gene regulatory network analysis. MethodA total of 20 male Lewis rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups： a control group （n=5）， a group of adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model with heat syndrome （AIA-H， n=5）， an AIA-H + BHGZT group （BHGZT， 21.4 g·kg^-1， n=5）， and an AIA-H + BHGZT without Gypsum Fibrosum group （BHGZT-GYP， 10.7 g·kg^-1， n=5）. We combined the gene expression profiling based on AIA-H rat model and "disease-gene-drug effective target" network analysis to predict the major function of Gypsum Fibrosum contained in BHGZT against RA with heat syndrome. Furthermore， in vivo experiments with the AIA-H rat model were performed to validate the therapeutic effects on the severity of arthritis based on the representative images of arthritis， limb diameter， infrared thermography， pain thresholds， and joint injury， as well as at the level of immunity-inflammation imbalance. Oil Red O staining was employed for the differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes in the AIA-H rats treated by BHGZT， BHGZT-GYP， and GYP. ResultGene expression profiling and network analysis demonstrated that Gypsum Fibrosum mainly regulated the energy metabolism disorders and the immunity-inflammation imbalance during the development and progression of RA. In vivo experiments showed that both BHGZT and BHGZT-GYP reduced the disease severity of AIA-H rats （P<0.01） by relieving joint redness and distortion， decreasing arthritis score and limb diameter， elevating pain thresholds， alleviating joint erosion， joint inflammation， and bone destruction （P<0.05）. Notably， BHGZT outperformed BHGZT-GYP （P<0.05）. Both BHGZT and BHGZT-GYP inhibited the pathological changes and decreased the indexes of thymus and spleen （P<0.05）， and down-regulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines including Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）， tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-12， IL-1β， and IL-18 （P<0.05）. In addition， BHGZT and GYP significantly inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells， with the performance superior to that of BHGZT-GYP. ConclusionThe sovereign drug Gypsum Fibrosum contained in BHGZT played a crucial role in reversing energy metabolism disorders and immunity-inflammation imbalance， which may be associated with its cold property and function of clearing heat and purging fire.

Objective: To investigate the status of insomnia, Internet addiction, and depressive symptoms among medical students and to analyze the effect of Internet addiction on insomnia and the mediating role of depressive symptoms, in order to provide a basis for the development of targeted interventions and measurements for medical students. Methods: A stratified whole group sampling method was used to select full-time college students from three medical universities in Anhui Province. The Chinese version of Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Internet Addiction Test (IAT) scale and 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate the symptoms of insomnia, Internet addiction and depressive in students. A multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors influencing insomnia among medical students and to analyze the relationship between insomnia with Internet addiction and depressive symptoms, respectively. Results: The overall rate of Internet addiction was 49.5%, depressive symptoms was 39.5%, insomnia was 18.6%. High academic stress, and the presence of surrounding people diagnosed with COVID-19 were associated with a higher risk of insomnia ( P <0.05). The higher the level of Internet addiction (mild, OR =2.60; moderate/severe, OR =4.21) and depression. (mild, OR =6.35; moderate/severe, OR =19.32), the higher the risk of insomnia. Mediated effect analysis showed that Internet addiction had a direct predictive effect ( β =0.02, P <0.05) on insomnia and also indirectly affected insomnia through depression (indirect effect=0.07，95% CI =0.06-0.08). Conclusion The detected rates of insomnia, Internet addiction and depressive symptoms are high among medical students in Anhui Province, and Internet addiction and depressive symptoms are risk factors for insomnia, which should be given more attention and appropriate interventions when necessary to improve their physical and mental health.

Objective: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and insomnia symptoms are common in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), which might lead to a poor prognosis and an increased risk of depression relapse. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence, and sociodemographic and clinical correlates of EDS and insomnia symptoms among adolescents with MDD. Methods: The sample of this cross-sectional study included 297 adolescents (mean age=15.26 years; range=12–18 years; 218 females) with MDD recruited from three general and four psychiatric hospitals in five cities (Hefei, Bengbu, Fuyang, Suzhou, and Ma’anshan) in Anhui Province, China between January and August, 2021. EDS and insomnia symptoms, and clinical severity of depressive symptoms were assessed using Epworth sleepiness scale, Insomnia Severity Index, and Clinical Global Impression-Severity. Results: The prevalence of EDS and insomnia symptoms in adolescents with MDD was 39.7% and 38.0%, respectively. Binary logistic regression analyses showed that EDS symptoms were significantly associated with higher body mass index (odds ratio [OR]=1.097, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.027–1.172), more severe depressive symptoms (OR=1.313, 95% CI=1.028–1.679), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors use (OR=2.078, 95% CI=1.199–3.601). And insomnia symptoms were positively associated with female sex (OR=1.955, 95% CI=1.052–3.633), suicide attempts (OR=1.765, 95% CI=1.037–3.005), more severe depressive symptoms (OR=2.031, 95% CI=1.523–2.709), and negatively associated with antipsychotics use (OR=0.433, 95% CI=0.196–0.952). Conclusion EDS and insomnia symptoms are common among adolescents with MDD. Considering their negative effects on the clinical prognosis, regular screening and clinical managements should be developed for this patient population.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations, treatment and outcome of neonatal pseudo-Bartter syndrome caused by maternal hyperemesis gravidarum.Methods:This retrospective study collected the clinical data of a set of premature twins with pseudo-Bartter syndrome who were admitted to Hebei Children's Hospital in September 2022. Clinical features of the cases were summarized with descriptive analysis.Results:The twins born with a gestational age of 30 +3 weeks required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation due to premature birth and respiratory distress. They were transferred to our hospital 2 h after birth. The mother suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum and even had severe vomiting complicated by hypokalemia 3 d before delivery. The blood gas analysis of the twins at 2 h after birth showed severe metabolic alkalosis, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypochloremia and hyperlactatemia. Hyperglycemia appeared at 6 h after birth, and scleredema neonatorum at 24 h after birth. No significant abnormalities were found in the tandem mass spectrometer analysis of blood or urine samples. Whole-exome sequencing showed no abnormalities in the genes related to the phenotype. The twins were diagnosed with neonatal pseudo-Bartter syndrome. After symptomatic and supportive treatment, metabolic alkalosis and electrolyte disorders in the twins were completely resolved 4 d after birth. They were cured and discharged 51 d after birth without recurrence. Follow-up revealed no abnormalities in the physical or neurological development of the twins at 11 months after birth. Conclusions:Maternal hyperemesis gravidarum can lead to neonatal pseudo-Bartter syndrome, characterized by severe metabolic disorders as well as respiratory and circulatory dysfunction at the early stage after birth. Timely diagnosis and treatment are conducive to good prognosis in the affected neonates.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the screening results for genetic metabolic diseases among newborns from Changsha in order to determine the prevalence of single diseases and their mutational spectrum.Methods:352 449 neonates born from January 2016 to December 2021 in Changsha were subjected to tandem mass spectrometry. Suspected cases were further analyzed by biochemical and genetic testing.Results:Among the 352 449 newborns, 6 170 were positive for the screening, which yielded a positive rate of 1.75%. 5 437 cases were recalled, and 92 were confirmed, with the overall prevalence being 1∶3 831 and positive predictive value of 1.69%. Eighteen genetic metabolic diseases were detected among the 92 children, including 33 amino acid metabolic disorder, among which 20 were phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (60.60%). 17 cases had organic acid metabolic disorders, among which 4 were 2-methyl-dehydrogenase deficiency (23.50%). 42 had fatty acid metabolic disorders, among which 27 (64.30%) were primary carnitine deficiency and 12 were short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (28.60%). In total 90 genetic variants were identified, with the most common ones including c. 51C>G, c. 1400C>G, c. 760C>T, c. 1031A>G and c. 1165A>G.Conclusion:The common neonatal genetic metabolic diseases in Changsha include primary carnitine deficiency, phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency and short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. The preliminary delineation of mutational spectrum for genetic metabolic diseases in Changsha can facilitate early diagnosis and intervention, so as to improve the quality of newborn population.

Objective:To analyze the satisfaction of referral patients for the medical services provided by the countywide medical community, for reference in further improving its quality and continuity of medical services.Methods:From April to July 2021, a systematic sampling method was adopted to selected the survey subjects from the outpatients from the leading hospitals and three affiliated units of two medical communities, as well as those from two county-level hospitals of non medical communities and five grass-roots medical and health institutions. A total of 660 patients were included in the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire covered key demographic information and 15 satisfaction questions under 4 dimensions. The propensity score matching method was used to reduce confounding factors, factor analysis was used to calculate the satisfaction of referral patients in the medical community group and the non-medical community group, and the systematic dynamics approach was used to analyze the effect of patient satisfaction on referral intention.Results:A total of 641 valid questionnaires were collected. Based on a 1∶2 propensity score matching, 591 patients were finally enrolled, consisting of 102 up-referral cases from the non-community group and 273 such cases from the community group, as well as 76 down-referral cases from the non-community group and 140 such cases from the community group. The overall satisfaction scores by both up and down referral patients were 4.26(1.01)and 4.29(1.14)respectively.The overall satisfaction, medical service satisfaction, technical service quality satisfaction and non-technical service quality satisfaction of up-referral patients, as well as the overall satisfaction, non-technical service quality satisfaction of down-referral patients of the community group were higher than those from the non-community group, with differences statistically significant( P<0.05). The higher satisfaction of patients with their referral in the community, the stronger their referral willingness. Conclusions:The overall satisfaction of refrerral patients in the medical community group is higher than that of the non medical community group. The construction of county medical community has promoted the improvement of satisfaction of referral patients. However, it is still imperative to encourage high-quality medical resources to support primary institutions, to enhance the service level of primary medical and health institutions, to implement differentiated medical insurance reimbursement policies, and to improve the continuity of medical services within the community.
