BackgroundThe issue of school absenteeism due to school refusal in adolescents has become increasingly prominent. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy （ACT） has been applied successfully to improve depression， anxiety， and psychological flexibility in adolescents， while few studies have tested the effect of ACT intervention on above-mentioned psychological aspects and return-to-school rate in adolescents with school absenteeism. ObjectiveTo explore the effect of ACT on depression， anxiety， psychological flexibility and return-to-school rate in school absenteeism adolescents， and to provide a broader evidence base for clinical interventions. MethodsFrom May to June 2024， a sample of 50 adolescents with Shenzhen school registration who had been suspended from school for more than a consecutive month for school refusal were recruited based on Wechat official account platform. The adolescents were divided into study group and control group by random number table method. Both groups received psychological education with the theme of 'Causes and Coping Strategies of School Refusal'， and study group added a 6-week ACT intervention with weekly 1-hour sessions. At baseline and after treatment， Patients’ Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item （GAD-7） and Comprehensive assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy processes （CompACT） were used for the clinical evaluation. ResultsA total of 45 （90.00%）adolescents completed the study， including 25 in study group and 20 in control group. Analysis revealed that study group scored higher on PHQ-9 and GAD-7， while lower on total CompACT score， openness dimension and awareness dimension compared with control group， with statistical significance （F=7.786， 10.334， 12.922， 14.374， 3.075， P<0.05 or 0.01）. After intervention， the rate of return-to-school was higher in study group than in control group （40.00% vs 10.00%， χ²=5.114， P<0.05）. ConclusionACT intervention for adolescents with school absenteeism may alleviate depression and anxiety， improve their psychological flexibility and increase return-to-school rate.［Funded by the "14^th Five Year Plan" for Social Sciences Project in Jiangxi Province （number， 24JY41D）； Science and Technology Planning Project of Shenzhen Municipality （number， 20210617155253001）］

Objective:To analyze the effects of parenting care map of premature infants on parenting competence and parenting stress of primipara, with a view to providing a theoretical basis for the development, implementation and modification of clinical interventions.Methods:Convenient sampling method was used to select primigravid women who gave birth in Lishui Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 for randomized controlled study, which was divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table. The control group received routine nursing, and the observation group guided the parents of premature infants to draw the child care map together on the basis of the control group. The scores of Chinese version of parenting sense of competence scale ( C-PSOC ) and Chinese version of Simplified Parenting Stress Index ( PSI-SF ) before and after intervention were compared.Results:A total of 120 cases of primiparous women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled, 60 cases in the control group and 60 cases in the observation group. The age of the control group was (26.25 ± 3.93) years, and the age of the observation group was (25.86 ± 4.22) years. Before the intervention, the difference between the C-PSOC dimension scores and total scores, PSI-SF dimension scores and total scores of the 2 groups was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the maternal C-PSOC efficacy, satisfaction dimension scores and total scores of primiparous women in the observation group were (32.05 ± 6.27), (40.29 ± 8.19), and (72.23 ± 9.39) points, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group, which were (28.46 ± 6.47), (37.08 ± 8.06), and (65.53 ± 10.24) points, and the differences between the 2 groups were all statistically significant ( t = 3.09, 2.16, 3.74, all P<0.05). After the intervention, the PSI-SF scores and total scores of primiparous women in the observation group on the dimensions of parental distress, personal interaction disorder, and difficult child were (24.43 ± 5.44), (27.51 ± 6.53), (29.47 ± 5.82), and (81.54 ± 10.38) points, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (28.57 ± 5.52), (30.19 ± 7.02), (32.78 ± 5.37), and (90.97 ± 10.12) points, and the differences between the 2 groups were all statistically significant ( t = 4.41, 2.17, 3.23, 5.04, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Premature child care map can effectively improve the parenting sense of competence of primiparas and reduce their parenting pressure. It is a convenient and effective nursing intervention tool.

Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD)is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and neurological dysfunction in the infants,and it remains a focal point of research in neonatology.MicroRNA(miRNA)is involved in neural development,and its alterations is closely associated with the pathological progression of HIBD.However,there is a lack of effective integration of studies on the specific roles and mechanisms of miRNAs at different pathological stages of the disease.This review summarized the recent researches on miRNA in various stages of HIBD.During the hypoxic-ischemic phase,abnormal expression of certain hypoxia-related miRNA can serve as novel biological diagnostic markers.In the cerebral edema phase,miRNA may maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier,alleviating neuronal swelling and structural changes.In the cerebral infarction phase,miRNA can inhibit the expression of apoptotic proteins,enhance the neuronal survival rates,reduce the infarct size,and improve neurological behavior.Further research into the mechanisms of miRNA in HIBD will provide new insights for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HIBD.

Objective:To investigate the pattern of distribution of the circumferential fascia of the rectum and elucidate its clinical implications.Methods:In this descriptive study, we examined the gross anatomy of four male hemipelvic cadaveric specimens from the Department of Anatomy at Fujian Medical University and the histological features of 16 fresh postoperative specimens from patients who had undergone total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer at the Department of Colorectal Surgery, Union Hospital, Fujian Medical University, between January and December 2022. The resultant combination of gross anatomical and histological features was employed to assess the following areas: (1)the morphology of the anterior mesorectum and fascia at the peritoneal reflection; (2)the caudal attachment point of Denonvilliers' fascia; (3) the fusion area of the pelvic plexus and the pre-hypogastric fascia; (4)the lateral and posterior attachment edges of the rectosacral fascia; and (5) selected histological features.Results:Our findings were as follows. (1) At the peritoneal reflection, the anterior mesorectum forms a triangular fat pad with a dense fascial structure. The base of this pad extends anteriorly across the most caudal point of the peritoneal reflection, with Denonvilliers' fascia originating from the anterior side of the triangle, near the bladder side of the peritoneum craniad to the peritoneal reflection. (2) The caudal attachment of Denonvilliers' fascia is at the angle between the seminal vesicles, the ampulla of the vas deferens, and the prostate. It adheres tightly to the prostatic capsule and vascular bundles pass through its cephalic side. (3) The pre-hypogastric fascia transitions laterally to merge with Denonvilliers' fascia; its middle part being inseparable from the main body of the pelvic plexus, which gives rise to the nerves that innervate the rectum. (4) The rectosacral fascia is formed by fusion of the fascia propria with the pre-hypogastric fascia. The resultant fused fascia bifurcates into two leaves on the right side; the outer leaf being the pre-hypogastric fascia and the inner leaf the fascia propria. (5) Histologically, the peritoneal reflection zone shows cuboidal epithelium of the peritoneum at its lowest point with no detectable origin of Denonvilliers' fascia. The anterior side of the peritoneal reflection, from which Denonvilliers' fascia originates, has a dense double-layered fascial structure comprising thick collagen fiber (16/16). The fascia propria exhibits a thinner and looser collagen fiber structure and its origin varies between individuals, 13/16 originating together with Denonvilliers' fascia from the craniad side of the peritoneal reflection, and 3/16 originating separately from the most caudal point of the peritoneal reflection. The caudal edge of Denonvilliers' fascia has a double-layered fascial structure with multiple S100-stained areas. The posterior edge of the rectosacral fascia has a fused fascial structure, thick nerve fibers being clearly observable between collagen fibers originating from the pre-hypogastric fascia under high magnification. The lateral edge of the rectosacral fascia extends interiorly, maintains the integrity of the fascia propria.Conclusions:In this study, we investigated the pattern of distribution of the circumferential fascia of the rectum by cadaveric dissection and histological examination of postoperative specimens. We found that the anterior mesorectum forms a triangular fat pad that can serve as a reference for dissection anterior to Denonvilliers' fascia, by making incisions 1 cm above the peritoneal reflection. The region of fusion of Denonvilliers' fascia with the prostatic capsule on the caudal side is rich in neurovascular bundles, contradicting the traditional view of a retroprostatic plane. This finding supports the practice of cutting Denonvilliers' fascia 0.5 cm above the base of the seminal vesicles. The fusion of the fascia propria with the pre-hypogastric fascia posteriorly forms the rectosacral fascia, which bifurcates into two leaves on both sides of the rectum, the inner leaf being the fascia propria and the outer leaf the pre-hypogastric fascia. These transition anteriorly to become Denonvilliers' fascia and fuse densely with the main body of the pelvic plexus on both sides. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for protecting the pelvic plexus and hypogastric nerve by transecting Denonvilliers' fascia and then dissecting in a top-to-bottom direction (i.e., from anterior to caudal), ultimately leading to the transection of the pre-hypogastric fascia.

Objective:To analyze the oral phenotype and gene variation of children with hypophosphatasia (HPP), and explore the genotype-phenotype correlations.Methods:Eight children diagnosed with HPP from January 2008 to January 2023 in The Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were recruited in this study. The pathogenic genes of 5 of them were sequentially analyzed and all of their oral manifestations, laboratory tests and genetic variation types were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 8 children were recruited in the study, 3 males and 5 females, aged from 20 to 104 months, whose main complaints were premature deciduous tooth loss. Among them, 3 children were diagnosed with odonto HPP, and the other 5 children were diagnosed with childhood HPP, including 2 children was odonto HPP at the first diagnosis and modified as childhood HPP at the age of 5. The age range of first deciduous tooth loss is 9 to 18 months, and the age range of diagnosis was 20 to 104 months. The patients of odonto HPP only showed premature loss of deciduous anterior tooth, while the patients with childhood HPP also showed premature loss of multiple deciduous molars. Panoramic radiographic film revealed enlarged pulp chambers and radicular canals in some primary and permanent teeth. The enamel hypoplasia, hypoplastic short roots, and alveolar resorption of deciduous molar were observed in some cases. The serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (30-107 U/L) levels of all the patients were lower than that in the normal children of same age and gender, and the ALP value of the 1-3 years old girls with childhood HPP (30-33 U/L) was lower than that of the three children with odonto HPP (61-107 U/L), but there was no significant difference in statistical analysis. There were 8 variation sites of ALP liver/bone/kidney (ALPL) gene detected in 5 children and their families, all of which were missense variation, including the new variants in the mutations of c.1334C>G (p.Ser445Cys) and c.1259G>T (p.Gly420Val) that were not reported in the literature. One case was autosomal dominant inheritance and other 4 cases were complex heterozygous variation with autosomal recessive inheritance.Conclusions:Pediatric stomatologists are often the first doctors to detect childhood and odonto HPP. Diagnosis of mild HPP is often delayed. The severity of HPP is related to serum ALP level and ALPL gene mutation sites.

{L-End}Objective To analyze the changes of seven potential biomarkers in plasma of patients with occupational silicosis (hereinafter referred to as "silicosis"), and explore their clinical value in determining the stage of silicosis. {L-End}Methods A total of 100 male silicosis patients were selected as the silicosis group (63 cases in stage Ⅰ and 37 cases in stage Ⅱ subgroups), and 100 male healthy individuals were selected as the control group using the 1∶1 matched case-control study. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to analyze the level of interleukin-17 (IL-17), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and histone H4 in plasma. Their clinical value for diagnosing silicosis was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, discriminant analysis stepwise method, and Fisher discriminant function analysis. {L-End}Results The levels of IL-17, MCP-1, MMP-9, KL-6, CTGF, PDGF, and histone H4 in the plasma of the silicosis group, silicosis stage Ⅰ subgroups, and stage Ⅱ subgroups were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The levels of IL-17, MCP-1, and MMP-9 in the plasma of the stage Ⅱ subgroup decreased (all P<0.05), while the levels of KL-6, CTGF and histone H4 increased (all P<0.05) compared with the stage Ⅰ subgroup. The area under the ROC curve for diagnosing silicosis using these seven potential biomarkers ranged from 0.761 to 1.000 (all P<0.01), with the sensitivity of 0.640-1.000, the specificity of 0.840-0.990, and the Youden index of 0.540-0.990. The Fisher discriminant function was formed by stepwise discriminant analysis, and the results showed that the coincidence rate was 99.5%, and the misdiagnosis rate was 0.5% for diagnosing and staging silicosis with these seven potential biomarkers. The coincidence rate of diagnosing control group, silicosis stageⅠsubgroup and the silicosis stage Ⅱ subgroup was 100.0%, 98.4% and 100.0%, respectively. {L-End}Conclusion IL-17, MCP-1, MMP-9, KL-6, CTGF, PDGF and histone H4 in plasma can be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis of silicosis, and the Fisher discriminant function based on the combination of these seven biomarkers can assist in staging silicosis.

Objective:To analyze nine cases of pregnancy and lactation-associated osteoporosis(PLO) along with a literature review to improve clinicians′ knowledge of the disease.Methods:We collected medical history, laboratory examination, bone mineral density(BMD) scan, treatment and follow-up data of 9 inpatients with PLO in the Endocrinology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to June 2021.Results:The median age of onset of 9 patients with PLO was 30 years(22-37 years). All 9 patients presented low back pain, and the median time of low back pain after childbirth was 2.5 months(0.5-7 months). 89% of the patients presented vertebral compression fractures, and the mean number of vertebral fractures was 4.6. Eight patients with PLO showed osteoporosis by dual X-ray absorpiometry(DXA) scan, and one patient showed bone loss by quantitative CT scan. Osteoporosis predominated in the trabecular bone. After the diagnosis, nine patients with PLO stopped breastfeeding and were given calcium and vitamin D preparations. Seven patients were given bisphosphonates and one patient was treated with teriparatide followed by denosumab. The back pain of all patients was relieved, with the median of relief time being 3 months(7 d-6 m). After treatment initiation, BMD was increased in eight patients, especially obvious in the lumbar spine. No new clinical fractures occurred during the follow-up.Conclusions:For women with low back pain and shortened height in late pregnancy or breastfeeding, the possibility of PLO should be considered. Prompt diagnosis and early medical interventions are of utmost importance to reduce the risk of subsequent fractures and improve the prognosis.

Background::Pre-operative assessment with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for assessing the risk of local recurrence (LR) and survival in rectal cancer. However, few studies have explored the clinical importance of the morphology of the anterior mesorectum, especially in patients with anterior cancer. Hence, the study aimed to investigate the impact of the morphology of the anterior mesorectum on LR in patients with primary rectal cancer.Methods::A retrospective study was performed on 176 patients who underwent neoadjuvant treatment and curative-intent surgery. Patients were divided into two groups according to the morphology of the anterior mesorectum on sagittal MRI: (1) linear type: the anterior mesorectum was thin and linear; and (2) triangular type: the anterior mesorectum was thick and had a unique triangular shape. Clinicopathological and LR data were compared between patients with linear type anterior mesorectal morphology and patients with triangular type anterior mesorectal morphology.Results::Morphometric analysis showed that 90 (51.1%) patients had linear type anterior mesorectal morphology, while 86 (48.9%) had triangular type anterior mesorectal morphology. Compared to triangular type anterior mesorectal morphology, linear type anterior mesorectal morphology was more common in females and was associated with a higher risk of circumferential resection margin involvement measured by MRI (35.6% [32/90] vs. 16.3% [14/86], P = 0.004) and a higher 5-year LR rate (12.2% vs. 3.5%, P = 0.030). In addition, the combination of linear type anterior mesorectal morphology and anterior tumors was confirmed as an independent risk factor for LR (odds ratio = 4.283, P = 0.014). Conclusions::The classification established in this study was a simple way to describe morphological characteristics of the anterior mesorectum. The combination of linear type anterior mesorectal morphology and anterior tumors was an independent risk factor for LR and may act as a tool to assist with LR risk stratification and treatment selection.
