Objective:
To explore the application effect of a guided self help intervention based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to address non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior among college students, so as to provide a reference for reducing the occurrence of NSSI behavior in this population.
Methods:
A total of 106 college students with NSSI admitted to the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected and divided into an observation group and a control group, with 53 cases in each group, using a random number table method. The control group received routine medication treatment and psychological intervention, while the observation group, on the basis of the interventions provided to the control group, implemented dialectical behavior therapy based guided self help. The approach combines group activities, individual counseling, and selfdirected learning, covering four core modules: mindfulness training, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation. Meanwhile, data collection, skill check ins, and personalized recommendation pushes were conducted through a WeChat. Both groups were intervented for 12 weeks. Before the intervention and after the intervention, the Adolescent Non suicidal Self injury Behavior Questionnaire, Ottawa Self injury Inventory (OSI), and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) were used to evaluate the patients, and the levels of serum neurotransmitters were detected. The χ 2 test, t test, and Cochran s Q test were used for data comparison and analysis.
Results:
The incidence rates of NSSI in the observation group after 3, 6, and 12 weeks of intervention were 47.17%, 16.98%, and 5.66%, respectively, all lower than those in the control group (67.92%, 35.85%, 20.75%) ( χ 2=4.67, 4.85, 5.27,all P <0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, in the NSSI Behavior Questionnaire, the total score of the observation group was (17.94±2.69) points, which was lower than that of the control group (23.04±5.11) points; in the Function Questionnaire, the total score of the observation group was (53.24±8.94) points, which was higher than that of the control group (47.74±8.00) points(both P <0.05). In terms of the OSI, the total score of the observation group was (4.49±0.62) points, lower than that of the control group (6.25±0.81) points;in the BIS, the total score of the observation group was (80.76±7.94) points, lower than that of the control group (87.74±9.34) points,and the differences between groups were statistically significant(both P<0.05). After the intervention, the level of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the observation group was (67.93±5.42) ng/mL, higher than (44.72±5.54) ng/mL of the control group; the levels of substance P and cortisol in the observation group were (35.82±4.47) ng/L and (75.64±8.02) μg/L, respectively, both lower than (48.14±5.32) ng/L and (94.53±10.78) μg/L of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
The guided self help intervention based on DBT is helpful for reducing NSSI behavior among college students.

ObjectiveTo explore the epidemic levels and epidemiological characteristics of influenza-like illness (ILI) in Hongkou District of Shanghai, to track the trends in virus mutations, so as to offer a scientific foundation for precisely predicting influenza epidemic trends, providing early alerts, and implementing prompt prevention and control measures. MethodsData on ILI and etiological surveillance from Hongkou District between 2015 and 2024 were collected and statistically analyzed. ResultsThe consultation percentage of ILI (ILI%) in Hongkou District from 2015 to 2024 was 0.58%, and the differences were statistically significant between different years (χ²=19 280.500, P<0.001), with winter and summer being the prevalence peaks. The highest proportion of ILI cases was observed in the 25‒<60 years age group, and the proportion of cases aged ≥60 years showed an increasing trend. The positive rate for influenza viruses was 17.60%, with seasonal influenzaA (H3N2) subtype (49.78%) and influenza A(H1N1) (30.03%) being the predominant strains,and the positive rate was different by years. There was a correlation between ILI% and the positive rate of influenza viruses (r=0.260, P<0.001). The median intensity of influenza activity in 2023‒2024 was 23.09, which was significantly higher than that in 2015‒2019 (H=37.052, P<0.001) and that in 2020‒2022 (H=40.436, P<0.001). ConclusionFrom 2015 to 2022, the ILI% in Hongkou District, Shanghai remained at a relatively low level, but it significantly increased in 2023‒2024, with peaks observed in winter and summer. The predominant influenza virus strains varied and alternated by years. The 2023‒2024 period witnessed an intensified influenza activity. It is necessary to continuously monitor the impact of other respiratory pathogens on influenza epidemic, so as to provide a scientific basis for early warning and prevention and control of influenza.

Objective:To analyze changes in energy metabolism and oxylipin metabolism in macrophages after stimulation by Mycobacterium marinum ( M. marinum) using targeted metabolomics, and to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying the immune defense by macrophages against M. marinum infections. Methods:Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages were obtained from the bilateral femurs of mice, and cultured cells were divided into two groups: the active M. marinum group and the inactivated M. marinum group. Bacterial suspensions were prepared using M. marinum clinical isolates; the active M. marinum group was treated with live M. marinum suspensions for 12 hours, while the inactivated M. marinum group with inactivated M. marinum suspensions for 12 hours. Cell morphology was observed through microscopy, and cell length was measured. Cell lysates collected from both groups were subjected to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis to detect energy and oxylipin metabolites. A t-test was utilized to compare the lengths of macrophages between the two groups, while principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were conducted to identify differential metabolites. Results:Under the microscope, macrophages in the active M. marinum group formed more granuloma-like cell aggregates compared with those in the inactivated M. marinum group; the macrophages were significantly thinner and longer in the inactivated M. marinum group (439.52 ± 91.67 μm) than in the active M. marinum group (289.96 ± 70.11 μm, P < 0.001). Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis of energy metabolism and oxylipin metabolism in macrophages demonstrated good separation between the two groups. As for the energy metabolism, a total of 12 differential metabolites were identified, with the amino acid metabolism showing the most significant changes. Specifically, there was a significant increase in the content of L-citrulline, while the content of L-leucine and serine decreased. As for the oxylipin metabolism, 20 differential metabolites were identified, with the arachidonic acid metabolism showing the most significant changes. Conclusions:Macrophages stimulated by live M. marinum exhibited altered amino acid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism compared with those stimulated by inactivated M. marinum, characterized by an increase in L-citrulline content, a decrease in L-leucine and serine levels, and alterations in arachidonic acid content.

Objective:To investigate the factors that influence the occurrence of complications following deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction, and to determine whether these complications have an impact on the patient's quality of life.Methods:The clinical and follow up data from patients who underwent DIEP flap breast reconstruction at the Department of Breast, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Dec 2019 to Mar 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 85 patients underwent DIEP flap breast reconstruction, including 71 stage Ⅰ reconstructions and 14 stage Ⅱ reconstructions. Postoperative complications occurred in 22 cases 25.9%, including flap complications in 11 cases (12.9%) and abdominal donor site complications in 11 cases (12.9%). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the overall incidence of complications was associated with high BMI and early surgery ( P<0.05). Flap complications were associated with high BMI, surgery performed at initial phase, and the use of internal mammary vascular branches as recipient vessels ( P<0.05). Abdominal complications were associated with previous abdominal surgery scars ( P<0.05). BREAST-Q scores showed no significant differences between the surgical complication group and the no complication group in terms of breast satisfaction, mental health, physical health-chest, physical health-abdomen, satisfaction with abdomen, sexual health, etc. ( P>0.05). Conclusions:DIEP flap breast reconstruction has a significant learning curve. The patient's own clinical characteristics (such as BMI and abdominal incision scars) and intraoperative choices (such as the selection of recipient vessels) may influence the occurrence of postoperative complications. However, the presence of postoperative complications does not appear to have an impact on patient-reported outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of a child with microcephaly-capillary malformation syndrome due to a STAMBP mutation. Methods:The clinical data of a case of microcephaly-capillary malformation syndrome caused by STAMBP gene mutation admitted to Anhui Children′s Hospital in August 2023 were collected. The genes of the child and his parents were detected by whole exome sequencing, and the risk was predicted by biological software. At the same time, the clinical characteristics of the child were analyzed and the literature was reviewed. Results:The patient is a male child aged 2 years and 7 months. The patient had special features, microcephaly, refractory epilepsy, severe comprehensive developmental delay, and capillary malformations. The results of genetic testing showed that the STAMBP gene in the child had complex heterozygous mutations NM_001353967: c.367delG[p.E123fs *27(p.Glu123fsTer27) and c.159A>C(p.Glu53Asp)], inherited from his mother and father respectively. The mutations have not been recorded in the HGMD, dbSNP and gnomAD databases,etc. The protein structure of the STAMBP gene was modeled that predicted c.367del(p.Glu123Lysfs *27) and c.159A>C (p.Glu53Asp) had a negative effect on the function of STAMBP protein. Conclusion:The STAMBP gene complex heterozygous mutations c.367delG(p.Glu123fsTer27) and c.159A>C(p.Glu53Asp) may be the pathogenic factor of this child, which further expands the variation spectrum of the STAMBP gene and the genotype of microcephaly-capillary malformation syndrome, and provides guidance for family genetic counseling.

Objective:To explore the value of contrast enhancement T1 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence (CE-T1FLAIR) based on modulated flip angle technique in refocused imaging with extended echo train (MATRIX) in detecting metastases.Methods:One hundred and seventy-six patients with pathologically diagnosed malignant tumors and brain metastases accepted enhanced 3.0T MRI scan in Department of Medical Imaging, He'nan Provincial Cancer Hospital from October 2023 to February 2024 were enrolled. Lianying's intelligent brain metastasis AI-assisted detection system and sequences of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR were used to detect the brain metastasis lesions, respectively. Length of the lesions was measured according to Lianying's intelligent brain metastasis AI-assisted detection system, and all lesions were divided into 3 categories: <3 mm, 3-10 mm, and >10 mm. Differences in detection rate in brain metastases of different lengths and locations among the 3 sequences were compared.Results:Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR, and FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases were 99.67%, 90.52%, and 71.02%, which were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases with length<3 mm (99.24%, 79.95% and 46.45%) or length of 3-10 mm (100%, 98.19% and 87.53%) were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 80.56% and 64.24%), 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 97.25% and 76.11%), and FSE CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 91.18% and 70.59%) in metastases at the superficial area of the brain convexity, gray-white matter junction area, and cerebellum were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases in the basal ganglia and brainstem (69.33% and 50%) were significantly lower than those of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR and 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR (97.33% and 92.86%; 88% and 78.57%, P<0.05). Conclusion:MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR sequence is better than 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR sequences in detecting brain metastases, especially for metastases with length<10 mm and metastases located at the superficial area of the brain convexity, gray-white matter junction area and cerebellum.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effect of internal mammary artery perforator (IMAP) as recipient vessels in breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEPF) immediately after breast cancer surgery.Methods:From May 2020 to May 2023, a total of 18 patients with DIEPF breast reconstruction using IMAP as recipient vessels were selected from the Department of Breast Disease of Henan Cancer Hospital. The patients were 31 to 50 years old, with an average of 41.5 years old. The stages of breast cancer were cT is/1-2N 0-2M 0, and all of the patients received immediate breast reconstruction after the breast cancer surgery. The size of flaps were from 9.0 cm × 26.0 cm to 15.0 cm × 38.0 cm. Preoperative chest and abdominal wall CTA were performed to identify the location of intercostal space and the calibre of IMAP. Intraoperatively, the number of IMAP, the diameters of corresponding arteries and accompanying veins in the recipient site were recorded. All patients were included in the scheduled postoperative follow-up through outpatient clinic or via WeChat. The quality of flap survival was evaluated, the condition of breast appearance and recovery of the abdominal donor site were evaluated according to the breast cancer patient reported outcome measures (BREAST-Q). Results:All the 18 patients had the IMAP visualised in surgery, with 13 had the IMAP located at the second intercostal space and 3 at the third intercostal space. The other 2 patients were found with the IMAP located in both the second and third intercostal spaces, in which 1 was found that both of IMAP were suitable for anastomosis. It was also found that there was 1 accompanying vein in 15 breasts and 2 accompanying veins in 2 breasts. One breast had found without an accompanying vein. The diameters of arteries were 1.1 mm±0.1 mm and that of the veins were 1.8 mm±0.3 mm. The average follow-up period was 28 months, ranged from 6 to 40 months. Of the 18 flaps, 17 were completely survived. Venous compromise occurred in 1 flap due to extensive venous thrombosis, and it was replaced with a breast implant. No patient experienced concave deformities in the reconstructed breasts. Seventeen patients with an average BREAST-Q score of 94.4. One patient with a BREAST-Q score of 79.0.Conclusion:IMAP can serve as a reliable recipient vessel for immediate breast reconstruction with DIEPF after breast cancer surgery. With strict selection criteria, this technique could be put on further trials with larger sample size and multi-centres.
