Objective To explore the factors affecting the quality of psychological assistance hotline connections in Shaanxi Province, and to provide a basis for optimizing services. Methods A total of 149 calls with suicidal tendencies were included from January to March 2022, and data were collected by 31 trained assessors through standardized questionnaires (general information, suicide risk, emotional intensity, and wiring characteristics). Results The results showed that 56.38% of the callers were female, with age groups concentrated between ≤ 18 years old (29.53%) and 19-34 years old (43.62%). The call duration was mainly between 31 and 45 minutes (50.34%). Operators conducted a suicide risk assessment on the callers, with 38.9% having a comprehensive assessment, 38.9% having an incomplete assessment, and 22.1% having no assessment. The main mental disorders of the callers were depression (48.32%), anxiety (15.44%), and bipolar disorder (14.77%), with 25.50% having comorbidities of ≥ 2 disorders. Emotional scores were as follows: depression (4.11 ± 0.76), sadness (3.97 ± 1.03), and despair (3.78 ± 1.05). There were significant differences in depression, anger, despair, and sadness among the callers with different levels of danger (t=4.79, 3.35, 15.79, 4.24, all P<0.05). Women had higher levels of fear than men (t=3.10, P<0.01). The longer the call duration, the higher the level of despair (t=5.66, P<0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that incomplete suicide risk assessment by operators (B=-2.36), general procedures for operators' connections (B=5.44), and technical factors (B=2.01) significantly affected the quality of psychological assistance hotlines (all P<0.05). Conclusion Callers with suicidal tendencies generally have serious mental and psychological problems and prominent negative emotions. Strengthening the suicide risk assessment ability of operators and standardizing processes and service attitudes are key to improving the quality of psychological assistance hotlines.

ObjectiveBased on the clinical characteristics of chronic gouty arthritis （CGA） in both traditional Chinese and western medicine， this study aims to systematically evaluate the clinical concordance of existing CGA animal models， providing recommendations for establishing animal models that align with the pathological characteristics of CGA and the manifestations of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. MethodsBy comprehensively retrieving Chinese and international databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure， Wanfang， VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database （VIP）， and PubMed， all relevant literature on CGA animal models was collected. Based on the guidelines， the diagnostic criteria of both traditional Chinese and western medicine were summarized and organized. The evaluation indicators for the CGA model were constructed with reference to existing evaluation modes， and the CGA animal models were analyzed to systematically evaluate the clinical concordance of existing models. ResultsThe current methods used to construct CGA animal models mainly include monosodium urate crystal induction， high-protein diet induction （poultry lack urate oxidase）， and high-fat diet combined with urate oxidase inhibitors and joint injection. Based on 11 pieces of included literature， the traditional Chinese and western medicine scoring data of each model were extracted， and the average scoring values of all models were ultimately calculated. The results show that the average clinical concordances of existing CGA animal models in both traditional Chinese and western medicine are 43.33% and 64.44%， respectively. Among them， the model with the highest clinical concordance rate is the one with a high-fat diet combined with potassium oxonate to induce hyperuricemia plus joint injection， achieving 83.33% clinical concordance in western medicine and 60% in traditional Chinese medicine. This model aligns well with the pathogenic characteristics and pathological changes of clinical CGA. ConclusionAlthough current CGA animal models can simulate some pathological characteristics of CGA， they struggle to comprehensively reflect the complex pathological processes of CGA and the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. Therefore， in the future， it is necessary to establish the CGA animal models that incorporate the clinical disease and syndrome characteristics of traditional Chinese and western medicine and formulate the uniform model evaluation criteria， providing more precise tools for CGA mechanism research and the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

The refinement of nasal tip rotation and projection is a critical step in tip sculpting in augmentation rhinoplasty. Autologous cartilage material is widely used in rhinoplasty due to its good histocompatibility and support. However, in clinical work, the profile of the nasal tip after autologous cartilage rhinoplasty often changes over time, with the phenomenon of downward rotation of the nasal tip and reduced tip projection. Thus, how to construct a stable nasal tip cartilage framework is a common problem for clinicians. This review encompasses the relevant content of nasal tip dynamics and measurement, the recent approaches to constructing the nasal tip cartilage framework, the factors influencing tip rotation and projection after rhinoplasty, the dynamic changes in nasal tip morphology after surgery, and summarizes the method to mitigate the downward rotation of the nasal tip and variations in nasal tip projection, with the aim to guide intraoperative adjustment of nasal tip morphology.

Objective To explore the differences between various monitoring methods of anesthetic depth during total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block.Methods From January 2021 to March 2021,60 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block combined with general anesthesia were randomly divided into IoC group and BIS group,30 cases in each group.IoC group awareness index(Index of Consciousness,IoC)monitoring;bIS group was monitored by bispectral index(BIS)to guide the use of sedative and analgesic drugs during operation.The primary outcome measure was the time of first eye opening,and the secondary outcome measures included the average target concentration of sedative and analgesic drugs during operation,the number of perioperative adverse events and the quality of recovery.Results The average difference in the first eye opening time between the two groups was 1.57 min(95％confidence interval:-0.61～2.63).The upper limit of the 95％confidence interval was 2.63 min,which was less than the non-inferiority boundary value(δ=2.8 min),suggesting that the non-inferiority hypothesis of the main efficacy indicators was established.There was no significant difference in the dosage of propofol and sufentanil and the quality of recovery between the two groups(P＞0.05).The target-controlled concentration of remifentanil in IoC group(8.55±1.45)ng/ml was significantly higher than that in BIS group(4.62±0.96)ng/ml,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).At the same time,compared with BIS group,the number of stress hypertension(10 vs 32)in IoC group was significantly reduced and the number of bradycardia(17 vs 6)was significantly increased,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).At the same time,no intraoperative awareness and body movement were found in both groups.Conclusion During total knee arthroplasty surgery under general anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block:1.IoC monitoring is not inferior to BIS monitoring in terms of awakening speed and quality.2.The increased use of remifentanil in the IoC group and the reduced incidence of hypertension may indicate that IoC monitoring is more sensitive to intraoperative nociceptive stimuli.

Depression,characterized by high incidence,high re-lapse rate and high suicide rate,is an affective disorder mainly characterized by low mood and often accompanied by suicidal tendency,which seriously endangers human health.In recent years,more and more evidence suggests that microglia regulate synaptic plasticity and play an important role in depression.Here we outline the recent research progress of microglia regula-ting synaptic plasticity to exert antidepressant effects,focusing on three main types of molecular signals regulating synaptic pruning in microglia,including"Find Me"signaling,"Eat Me"signaling and"Don't Eat Me"signaling.By reviewing recent studies on how microglia regulate synaptic plasticity in depression,hopeful-ly,the understanding of microglia-mediated synaptic plasticity can be strengthened,which can help to provide new strategies for the treatment of depression by targeting microglia or microglia-associated signaling pathways.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between blood glucose index and peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes patients under continuous blood glucose monitoring.Methods:A total of 110 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the Lu′an Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from November 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively observed, and the blood glucose indexes of patients were monitored by continuous glucose meter [glucose time in range (TIR), mean blood glucose (MBG), estimated hemoglobin A 1c (eHbA 1c), blood glucose standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE), mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), means of daily differences (MODD), etc ]. All patients with type 2 diabetes were grouped according to whether they had peripheral neuropathy or not, and were divided into the developing group and the non-developing group. General data and blood glucose indexes of the two groups were collected and sorted out. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of various blood glucose indicators in predicting peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes. Spearman correlation analysis was also used to evaluate the correlation between blood glucose index and peripheral neuropathy. Results:The disease course, TIR, MBG, eHbA 1c, SD, CV, LAGE, MAGE and MODD of the occurrence group were significantly different from those of the non-occurrence group (all P<0.05). By plotting the ROC curve, It was found that the area under the curve (AUC) of TIR, MBG, eHbA 1c, SD, CV, LAGE, MAGE and MODD predicting peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes were 0.942, 0.840, 0.705, 0.759, 0.819, 0.813, 0.857 and 0.677, respectively. The AUC of the combined prediction was 0.971(95% CI: 0.946-0.997), which was higher than that of the single indicator (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation assessment showed a negative correlation between TIR and peripheral neuropathy ( r=-0.738, P<0.05). MBG, eHbA 1c, SD, CV, LAGE, MAGE and MODD were positively correlated with peripheral neuropathy ( r=0.554, 0.376, 0.452, 0.490, 0.527, 0.625, 0.272, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Based on continuous blood glucose monitoring, the blood glucose index of type 2 diabetes patients is closely related to peripheral neuropathy, and the above blood glucose index can accurately predict peripheral neuropathy, providing a reference for reducing or preventing the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy.

This study aims to isolate and identify the Pasteurella multocida(Pm)that caused re-spiratory infections in cattle at a farm in Beijing,and to clarify the biological characteristics of the pathogen,including its serotype,drug resistance,pathogenicity,and genomic features.For this pur-pose,nasopharyngeal swabs and tissue samples were collected from an infected cow for bacterial i-solation and purification,16S rRNA gene amplification,capsular serotyping,virulence gene detec-tion,and whole-genome sequencing of the isolated strain.The results showed that after bacterial i-solation and purification,biochemical tests,and PCR identification,a type A P.multocida strain named"Pm WZ01"was identified.The virulence gene amplification revealed that the Pm WZ01 ge-nome contained the tadD,nanH,ompA,exbB,exbD,and fur genes.Whole-genome sequencing determined that the Pm WZ01 strain had a genome size of 2 383 021 bp with a GC content of 40.28％,containing 56 tRNAs,19 rRNAs,155 pseudogenes,three genomic islands,five prophages,and 55 carbohydrate-active enzyme genes.CARD annotation analysis found one PBP3 resistance gene and two EF-Tu resistance genes.VFDB and PHI-base annotation analysis identified 582 viru-lence factor-related genes and 888 phenotypic mutation genes,etc.Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the Pm WZ01 strain is most closely related to the Pm-3 strain(CP014618.1)from Changchun,China,the P1933 strain(CP132898.1)from the UK,and the HB01 strain(CP006976.1)from Hubei,China,belonging to the same clade.This study completed the isolation and identifica-tion of a type A P.multocida strain as well as the analysis of its biological characteristics and whole-genome sequencing,providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and control research of bovine type A P.multocida disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxia on the transcriptional phenotype and ultrastructure of tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)in glioma.Methods CD14+monocytes were isolated from healthy human peripheral blood samples collected from the Blood Bank of the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University,and the cells were induced to differentiate into TAMs through co-culture with glioma cell-conditioned medium.Hypoxic TAM models were established using varying concentrations of cobalt chloride hexahydrate(CoCl2,50～400 μmol/L)or hypoxic conditions(1%,5%,10%O2)for 48 h,while normoxic TAM models(21%O2)served as controls.RT-qPCR and transcriptome sequencing were employed to analyze transcriptional changes in TAMs under normoxic and hypoxic conditions.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)was applied to compare the differences in angiogenesis,glycolysis and other hypoxia-responsive pathways between the 2 conditions.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)or immunofluorescence staining was conducted to assess the ultrastructural alterations in cytoskeleton,endoplasmic reticulum(ER),and mitochondria in normoxic and hypoxic TAMs(1%O2).Results Hypoxic TAMs exhibited up-regulated transcription of hypoxia-responsive markers(oxygen transport,glycolysis,pro-angiogenesis),with the effects correlating with hypoxia severity(P<0.05).GSEA revealed significant up-regulation of hypoxia,angiogenesis regulation,glycolysis and gluconeogenesis,and starvation stress pathways,alongside down-regulation of innate immunity,macrophage activation,cytoskeleton,and protein maturation pathways in hypoxic TAMs(P<0.05).TEM and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated obvious ultrastructure changes,including disrupted cytoskeletal organization,shortened rough ER with reduced ribosomes,mitochondrial swelling with cristae damage,and diminished ER-mitochondria contacts in hypoxic TAMs.Conclusion CoCl2 and hypoxia induce a hypoxic transcriptional phenotype in TAMs,which may potentially associated with ultrastructural remodeling of the cytoskeleton,ER,and mitochondria.

Objective:To compare the incidence of instrumentation-related complications and health-related quality of life following pelvic fixation using iliac screws (IS) or second sacral alar-iliac (S 2AI) screws in adult spinal deformity (ASD). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 108 ASD patients who underwent posterior corrective fusion and fixation extending to the pelvis at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between September 2010 and April 2021. According to the type of pelvic fixation, patients were divided into an IS group ( n=34; 12 males, 22 females; mean age 53.7±11.1 years, range 28-73 years) and an S 2AI group ( n=74; 23 males, 51 females; mean age 52.8±8.6 years, range 27-72 years). Pre- and post- operative standing anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were evaluated for Cobb angle, coronal balance distance (CBD), thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sacral slope (SS). At 2 years postoperatively, health-related quality of life were assessed using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire (SRS-22), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain. Instrumentation failure related to pelvic fixation during follow-up was recorded. Results:All patients completed follow-up. Mean follow-up duration was 28.5±3.6 months (range 24-37 months) in the IS group and 28.1±4.3 months (range 24-43 months) in the S 2AI group. Postoperatively, both groups showed significant improvement in Cobb angle, CBD, TK, LL, SVA, PT, and SS compared to baseline ( P<0.05), whereas PI remained unchanged ( t=0.664, P=0.509; t=1.227, P=0.222). Preoperative PT was greater in the IS group than in the S 2AI group (33.6°±8.7° vs. 29.3°±9.6°, t=2.228, P=0.028). No significant intergroup differences were observed in any other pre- or post- operative radiographic parameters ( P>0.05). Pelvic fixation failure occurred in 31 patients (28.7%, 31/108). Patients with fixation failure had a longer fusion segment extension than those without failure (12.0±2.8 vs. 10.8±2.4 segments; t=2.256, P=0.026). In the IS group, complications comprised 3 cases of screw loosening (8.8%), 2 of screw breakage (5.9%), and 4 of rod fracture within the pelvic region (11.8%), including 1 case with concurrent screw and rod failure. In the S 2AI group, there were 21 cases of screw loosening (28.4%) and 2 of screw breakage (2.7%). Screw loosening was less frequent in the IS group than in the S 2AI group (χ 2=5.154, P=0.023), whereas pelvic rod fracture was more common in the IS group (χ 2=9.041, P=0.003). Screw breakage rates did not differ significantly ( P>0.05). Mean VAS, ODI, and SRS-22 scores in the IS group were 3.2±2.4, 24.9%±18.8%, and 3.2±0.8, respectively; corresponding to 2.5±1.8, 18.9%±10.9%, and 3.3±0.6 in the S 2AI group. ODI was significantly higher in the IS group ( t=2.062, P=0.042), whereas VAS and SRS-22 were comparable ( P>0.05). Among S 2AI patients, VAS and ODI scores did not differ significantly between those with and without screw loosening ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The post-operative incidence of pelvic fixation failure following ASD surgery reached 28.7%. The predominant failure mode with S 2AI was screw loosening, whereas IS was more frequently complicated by rod fracture. Early postoperative health-related quality of life was superior with S 2AI screws compared with iliac screws.
