To investigate the feasibility and advantages of "Axis Coordinate Localization Method" combined with total endoscopic technique for parotid surgery. A total of 31 patients with parotid gland tumors who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2022 to August 2024 were included in this study. The cohort comprised 11 males and 20 females, with age of (38.9±13.9) years and a maximum tumor diameter of (19.34±6.89) mm. Among these cases, 93.5% (29/31) involved the superficial lobe and 6.5%(2/31) the deep lobe of the parotid gland. The "axial" localization method was utilized to plan the surgical approach: establishing a coordinate system with the earlobe as the origin, the surface projection of the parotid duct as the x-axis, and a perpendicular line through the origin as the y-axis. The incision type-pre-tragal, retroauricular groove, or postauricular hairline-was selected according to the position of the tumor′s surface projection center within this coordinate system. All operations were performed using a complete endoscopic technique for tumor and glandular tissue resection. Postoperative facial nerve function was assessed with the House-Brackmann grading scale, while patient incision satisfaction, impact on work and daily life, and facial symmetry were quantitatively evaluated using a Numerical Rating Scale (10-point system).　All 31 patients successfully underwent the procedure. Short-term postoperative complications included temporary facial paralysis in 1 case (3.2%), periauricular numbness in 1 case (3.2%), surgical site effusion in 1 case (3.2%), and subcutaneous hematoma in 1 case (3.2%). All complications resolved after appropriate management. During follow-up, there were no instances of sialocele, Frey syndrome, incision infection, or tumor recurrence. Patient ratings were as follows: incision satisfaction (9.42±0.78), impact of surgery on daily life (1.32±0.60), and facial symmetry (9.29±0.78). The one case of temporary facial paralysis recovered 3 months after surgery. The combination of the "Axial" localization method and fully endoscopic technique demonstrates clear clinical feasibility in parotid tumor resection. This approach enables rapid and personalized incision selection based on tumor location, while the endoscopic minimally invasive technique reduces tissue trauma, improves cosmetic outcomes, and enhances surgical safety. It provides a new minimally invasive treatment pathway for patients with benign parotid tumors.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective To explore the analgesic initiation mechanism of"three-manipulations and three-acupoints"of tuina on minor chronic constriction injury(minor CCI)model rats.Methods According to the random number table method,35 SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal group,sham group,model group,tuina group,and tuina+MK-801 group.The model group,tuina group,and tuina+MK-801 group were subjected to ligation of the right sciatic nerve trunk to establish a minor CCI rat model.The sham group was only exposed to the right sciatic nerve without ligation,and the normal group was not subjected to any operation.The normal group was not subjected to any intervention measures.On the seventh day after modeling,the model group and the sham group underwent 9 minutes of grasping restraint,while the tuina group underwent one intervention of three-manipulations(point method,dialing method,and kneading method)and three-acupoints(right"Yinmen"(BL37),"Chengshan"(BL57),and"Yanglingquan"(GB34)acupoints)with each manipulation and acupoint intervention for 1 minute for a total of 9 minutes.The tuina+MK-801 group received intrathecal injection of MK-801 from the fifth to seventh days after modeling,with a dose of 6 μg(10 μL)per day,tuina intervention was performed 30 minutes after the last intrathecal injection,and the specific operation of tuina was the same as that of the tuina group.Before modeling,after modeling,and after intervention,each group of rats was subjected to cold sensitivity threshold(CST)and mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT)testing.After intervention,immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression of cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cGMP)in the spinal dorsal horn(SDH)at L4-6 segments;protein expressions of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1(NMDAR1),neurogenic nitric oxide synthase(nNOS),soluble guanylyl cyclase β(sGCβ),and protein kinase G1(PKG1)in SDH at L4-6 segments were detected by Western blotting;mRNA expressions of NMDAR1,nNOS,sGCβ,cGMP,and PKG1 in SDH at L4-6 segments were detected by real-time PCR.Results Compared with the normal and sham groups,after modeling,CST increased and MWT decreased in the model group,tuina group and tuina+MK-801 group(P＜0.05);after intervention,the positive protein expression of cGMP was increased,the protein expressions of NMDAR1,nNOS,sGCβ,and PKG1 were increased,and mRNA expressions of NMDAR1,nNOS,sGCβ,cGMP,and PKG1 were increased in SDH at L4-6 segments in the model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,after intervention,CST decreased and MWT increased in the tuina group and tuina+MK-801 group(P＜0.05);the positive protein expression of cGMP was decreased,the protein expressions of NMDAR1,nNOS,sGCβ,and PKG1 were decreased,and mRNA expressions of NMDAR1,nNOS,sGCβ,cGMP,and PKG1 were decreased in SDH at L4-6 segments in the tuina group and tuina+MK-801 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion One-time tuina intervention can effectively improve the symptoms of thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia induced by peripheral nerve injury,which may initiate analgesia through the NMDAR1/cGMP/protein kinase G signaling pathway,thereby exerting immediate analgesic effect.

Objective:To determine the effects of early enteral nutrition (EEN) on the short-term prognosis of patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO).Methods:61 patients admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) of Henan Provincial Peoples' Hospital from February 2022 to March 2023 to receive VA-ECMO treatment were selected as the study objects according a retrospective survey. The patients were divided into an achievement group ( n=34) and a non-achievement group ( n=27) based on whether the feeding amount reached 70% or over of the target calories (25kcal/kg.d) on the 7th day of ECMO treatment. The general characteristics, disease information, complications, and prognosis between the two groups after ICU admission were recorded and compared. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the impact of various factors on clinical outcomes. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to draw survival curves for the two groups, and the predictive value of the ratio of actual EN intake to target energy was calculated by plotting the ROC curve. Results:A total of 61 patients were included, with an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 50.82% (31/61), with 32.35% (11/34) in the achievement group, and 70.37% (19/27) in the non-achievement group. Cox regression analysis revealed that the occurrence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HR=0.341, 95% CI:0.119-0.975), ECOM weaning failure ( HR=0.269, 95% CI:0.111-0.651), and achieving EN targets on the 7th day of VA-ECMO treatment ( HR=10.891, 95% CI:1.178-100.718) were independent factors for patient mortality during hospitalization. The ROC curve for the percentage of EN achievement on the 7th day of VA-ECMO treatment and in-hospital mortality showed an area under the curve of 0.755, with a cutoff value of 0.73. Conclusion:The presence of ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy, ECOM weaning failure, and whether achieving EN targets or not is closely related to the prognosis of VA-ECMO patients. Patients who achieving EN targets of over 73% had the lowest in-hospital mortality rate. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the energy intake of VA-ECMO patients to reduce their risk of mortality.

Objective:To explore the causal relationship between social activity and depressive symptoms in the elderly, and to provide a reference for preventing and interventing depressive symptoms in the elderly.Methods:Data were sourced from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) program, involving 3 164 elderly individuals aged≥60 years with data collected in two measurements, in 2015 (T1) and 2018 (T2). The sample included 1 240 males and 1 924 females aged (71±7) years. Social activities were assessed by constructing a social activity index from the 11 social activities included in the CHARLS questionnaire and the frequency of their activities. The depressive symptoms were assessed using the short version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, CESD-10). A mixed-design ANOVA was used to explore the trends in social activity and depressive symptoms over time and across genders in the elderly adults. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate whether social activity and depressive symptoms in the elderly met the criteria for simultaneous and sequential correlations, followed by a cross-lagged model to analyze the causal temporal or mutual prediction between social activeness and depressive symptoms over a 3-year intervals.Results:The social activity of elderly men at T2 was significantly lower than at T1 ( F=21.00, P<0.001), while no significant difference observed in elderly women ( F=0.31, P<0.001). At both T1 and T2, elderly men scored higher in social activity than elderly women [T1: 2.93±2.98 vs 2.55±2.65,T2: 2.28±2.49 vs 2.24±2.43); F=43.60, 11.24, both P<0.01]. Depressive symptoms at T2 were higher than at T1 for both elderly men and elderly women ((male: 1.90±6.10 vs 21.52±6.08, female: 23.84±6.54 vs 23.07±6.44); F=5.20, 32.77, both P<0.05). Elderly men scored lower than elderly women on depression symptoms at both T1 and T2 (T1: F=45.74, P<0.001; T2: F=69.96, P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between social activity and depressive symptoms at both measurement points (T1: r=-0.329, P<0.01; T2: r=-0.343, P<0.01), and a positive correlation across T1 and T2 ( r=0.391, 0.573; both P<0.01), meeting the criteria for simultaneous and sequential correlations, and supporting the basic assumptions of cross-lagged design. Cross-lagged analysis revealed that T1 social activity negatively predicted T2 depressive symptoms (β=-0.128, P<0.001), and T1 depressive symptoms negatively predicted T2 social activity (β=-0.202, P<0.001). Conclusion:There is a bidirectional predictive relationship between social activity and depression symptoms in the elderly. Depression symptoms lead to a decrease in social activity, and a decrease in social activity predicts an exacerbation of depression in the elderly.

BackgroundThe prevalence of depressive disorder in adolescents is on the rise. There have been studies on the pairwise relations between dysfunctional attitude， negative automatic thoughts， positive coping style and depressive symptoms in the past. However， the impact of the intrinsic relations among dysfunctional attitude， negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style on depressive symptoms is still unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the influence of dysfunctional attitude on adolescent depressive symptoms and examine the action path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style on it， in order to provide references for intervention for adolescent patients with depressisve disorder. MethodsThis study involved 162 adolescent patients with depressive disorder， who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive episodes in the International Classification of Diseases， 10th edition （ICD-10） and received treatment in Taiyuan Psychiatric Hospital from October 1， 2022 to October 31， 2023. These patients were evaluated using Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）， Dysfunction Attitude Scale （DAS）， Positive Coping Style Subscale in Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire（SCSQ） and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire （ATQ）. Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation among scores of scales above. Model 6 in Process 3.4.1 was adopted to test the acting path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style between dysfunctional attitude and adolescent depression symptoms. ResultsA total of 148 adolescent patients with depressive disorder completed an effective questionnaire survey， with a response rate of 91.36%. The direct effect value of dysfunctional attitude on depressive symptoms was 0.423 and the effect size was 63.32%. Negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style affected as acting path between dysfunctional attitude and depressive symptoms， with effect values of 0.156 （accounting for 23.35% of the total effect） and 0.045 （accounting for 6.74% of the total effect） respectively. Meanwhile， negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style affected as a chain reaction pathway between dysfunctional attitude and depressive symptoms， with an effect value of 0.044， accounting for 6.59% of the total effect. ConclusionDysfunctional attitude can not only directly affect the depressive symptoms of adolescent patients with depressive disorder， but also affect the depressive symptoms of adolescent patients with depressive disorder through the independent path or chain path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style.
