Objective: To explore the correlation between parent-child separation experience and non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide a reference for the prevention and improvement of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students. Methods: Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, 3 114 junior and senior high school students aged 11-19 years were recruited from Chenzhou and Jishou cities in Hunan Province between November 2024 and September 2025. A self designed questionnaire and the Functional Self injury Behavior Assessment Scale were used to collect information on parental labor migration and adolescents NSSI behavior status. Binary Logistic regression model was used to analyse the association between parent-child separation experiences and NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students, with further stratified analysis by gender. Results: The prevalence rate of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students was 9.9%, and the overall incidence of parent-child separation was 48.9%, comprising 17.1% separated from their father only, 5.5% separated from their mother only, and 26.3% separated from both parents. After adjusting for variables such as age, gender, and ethnicity, the results of binary Logistic regression analyses indicated that adolescents with parent-child separation experiences had a higher risk of NSSI behavior ( OR =1.31, 95% CI =1.01-1.69, P <0.05). Compared with those without parent-child separation experiences, adolescents who were separated from their mother only ( OR =1.68, 95% CI =1.03-2.74) or from both parents ( OR =1.41, 95% CI =1.04-1.92) showed significantly increased risks of NSSI behavior (both P <0.05). Conclusions Parent-child separation experiences are associated with an increased risk of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students. Strengthened attention should be paid to left behind senior high school students to reduce the occurrence of NSSI in adolescents.

Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

AIM To investigate the effects of Wenyang Jiedu Tongluo Recipe(WYJDTLR)on macrophage recruitment and polarization function in a mouse model of diabetic kidney disease(DKD).METHODS 50 db/db mice were randomly divided into the model group,the valsartan group(10.29 mg/kg)and the high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose WYJDTLR groups(26.52,13.26 and 6.63 g/kg),with 10 mice in each group,in contrast to another 10 db/m mice of the blank group.After 8 weeks of administration,the mice had their levels of fasting blood glucose,24-hour urinary protein quantity(24h-UTP),serum creatinine(Scr)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)observed;their morphological changes of renal tissues observed by HE staining;their degree of renal glycogen deposition observed by PAS staining;their degree of renal fibrosis observed by Masson staining;their levels of MCP-1 and MCF-1 in serum and TNF-α and IL-1 β in renal tissue detected by ELISA;their renal protein expressions of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 detected by IHC and Western blot;and their renal expressions of CD86 and CD206 detected by IF.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the WYJDTLR groups displayed decreased levels of fasting blood glucose,24h-UTP,Scr and BUN(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);improved degree of glomerular hypertrophy,mild proliferation of mesangial cells,dilatation of renal tubular,vacuolar degeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells,deposition of glomerular glycogen,and fibrosis of renal tissues(P＜0.01);decreased levels of MCP-1 and MCF-1 in serum and TNF-α and IL-1β in renal tissue(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);decreased renal protein expressions of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),thus reduced the recruitment of macrophages to the kidney;decreased renal CD86 protein expression(P＜0.01);and increased CD206 protein expression(P＜0.01),thus inhibited M1-type polarization of macrophages and promoted M2-type polarization of macrophages.CONCLUSION WYJDTLR can delay the DKD progression in mice by reducing the occurrence of inflammatory reactions through reducing the level of macrophage recruitment factor,inhibiting the M1-type polarization,and promoting the M2-type polarization.

Objective:To investigate the impact of correcting rotational subluxation through circumferential fusion and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) on postoperative coronal plane imbalance in degenerative scoliosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 108 patients with type A degenerative scoliosis in the Nanjing classification who underwent primary multi-segment posterior column osteotomy (PCO) with deformity correction and internal fixation at Nanjing Gulou Hospital from June 2017 to June 2021. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of preoperative rotational subluxation: the rotational subluxation group and the non-rotational subluxation group. The rotational subluxation group consisted of 60 patients, with 8 males and 52 females, aged 63.7±5.5 years (range, 56-75 years). The non-rotational subluxation group included 48 patients, with 5 males and 43 females, aged 64.4±5.2 years (range, 53-72 years). Within the rotational subluxation group, depending on whether TLIF was performed on the rotational subluxation segment, they were further categorized into the TLIF group and the PCO group. The TLIF group comprised 28 patients, while the PCO group had 32 patients. Full-spine anteroposterior and lateral X-rays were taken preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the last follow-up to measure coronal balance types and radiographic parameters. The differences in the lumbar Cobb angle, coronal balance distance (CBD), and the Cobb angle of the lumbosacral curve (Cobb-Fra angle) were compared between the rotational subluxation group and the non-rotational subluxation group, as well as between the TLIF group and the PCO group.Results:The average surgery duration ranged from 200 to 310 min, with a mean of 235±47 min. The intraoperative blood loss ranged from 700 to 2,400 ml, with an average of 950±355 ml. The number of fused segments in the rotational subluxation group was 7.6±2.1, ranging from 5 to 11 segments, while in the non-rotational subluxation group, it was 7.4±2.0, ranging from 5 to 10 segments. Postoperatively, 13%(8/60) of patients in the rotational subluxation group developed type C coronal imbalance, significantly higher than the 2%(1/48) in the non-rotational subluxation group. The immediate postoperative and final follow-up lumbar Cobb angles, CBD, and Cobb-Fra angles in the rotational subluxation group were 20.60°±10.73° and 20.33°±10.92°, 22.53±16.45 mm and 18.53±17.31 mm, 13.14°±4.40° and 11.23°±4.92°, respectively, which were higher than those in the non-rotational subluxation group (13.92°±7.02° and 12.92°±6.64°, 18.62±17.44 mm and 8.83±8.95 mm, 11.91°±3.03° and 9.52°±3.30°), with statistical significance ( P<0.05).. Among patients in the rotational subluxation group, the probability of new-onset coronal imbalance postoperatively was 4%(1/28) in the TLIF group, which was lower than the 22%(7/32) in the PCO group, with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=4.330, P=0.037). The immediate postoperative and final follow-up lumbar Cobb angles, CBD, and Cobb-Fra angles in the PCO group were 25.63°±11.00° and 25.13°±11.04°, 27.37±18.95 mm and 25.25±18.67 mm, 15.50°±3.62° and 14.08°±4.77°, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the TLIF group (14.86°±6.96° and 14.86°±5.37°, 17.08±10.94 mm and 10.86±7.86 mm, 10.14°±3.37° and 8.46°±2.66°), with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For patients with Type A degenerative scoliosis combined with rotational subluxation according to the Nanjing classification, performing a 360-degree circumferential release and interbody fusion at the segment with rotatory subluxation can reduce the risk of developing new postoperative coronal imbalances.

Objective:To investigate the mosquito-borne viruses carried by mosquito specimens collected from Huachuan county and Huanan county in Heilongjiang province.Methods:Mosquito samples were collected locally in 2023 and processed in the laboratory. Homogenates of the mosquitoes were inoculated into cells for virus isolation, followed by molecular and bioinformatics analyses of the viral isolates.Results:In 2023, ten viral isolates were obtained from Anopheles sinensis specimens collected in Heilongjiang province, China. Among these isolates, one was identified as Culex flavivirus (CxFV), one as Menghai rhabdovirus (MRV), and eight as Nam Dinh virus (NDiV). The phylogenetic analysis showed that CxFV belongs to genotype I and is clustered with the strains isolated from Liaoning province in 2011 and Ningxia Hui autonomous Region in 2019 in the same evolutionary branch, with amino acid similarity ranging from 98.2% to 99.2% and nucleotide similarity ranging from 98.8% to 99.2%. The MRV strain belongs to the same evolutionary subclade as the strain detected in Guangdong, with both nucleotide and amino acid similarity of 98.0%. Eight NDiV isolates clustered with the South Korean isolates on the same evolutionary branch, forming an independent evolutionary sub-branch. The nucleotide similarity among these eight isolates ranged from 98.5% to 99.7%, while the amino acid similarity ranged from 98.1% to 99.7%. In comparison, when matched with other NDiV isolates from China, the nucleotide similarity of these eight isolates ranged from 94.1% to 97.8%, and the amino acid similarity ranged from 93.5% to 97.7%.Conclusions:This study represents the first isolation of CxFV, MRV, and NDiV in Heilongjiang province, China, and the findings provide fundamental data for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne viral diseases in this region.

PURPOSE: The retear rate of rotator cuff (RC) after surgery is high, and the rapid and functional enthesis regeneration remains a challenge. Whether acellular amniotic membrane (AAM) helps to promote the healing of tendon to bone and which treatment is better are both unclear. The study aims to investigate the effect of AAM on the healing of RC and the best treatment for RC repair. METHODS: Thirty-three Sprague Dawley rats underwent RC transection and repair using microsurgical techniques and were randomly divided into the suturing repair only (SRO) group (n = 11), the AAM overlaying (AOL) group (n = 11), and the AAM interposition (AIP) group (n = 11), respectively. Rats were sacrificed at 4 weeks, then examined by subsequent micro-CT, and evaluated by histologic and biomechanical tests. The statistical analyses of one-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test were performed using with SPSS 23.0. A p < 0.05 was considered a significant difference. RESULTS: AAM being intervened between tendon and bone (AIP group) or overlaid over tendon to bone junction (AOL group) in a rat model, promoted enthesis regeneration, increased new bone and cartilage generation, and improved collagen arrangement and biomechanical properties in comparison with suturing repair only (SRO group) (AOL vs. SRO, p < 0.001, p = 0.004, p = 0.003; AIP vs. SRO, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). Compared with the AOL group, the AIP group had better results in micro-CT evaluation, histological score, and biomechanical testing (p = 0 0.039, p = 0.011, p = 0.003, respectively). CONCLUSION In the RC repair model, AAM enhanced regeneration of the tendon to bone junction. This regeneration was more effective when the AAM was intervened at the tendon to bone interface than overlaid above the tendon to bone junction.

BACKGROUND: Biomarkers-based prediction of long-term risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is scarce. We aim to develop a risk score integrating clinical routine information (C) and plasma biomarkers (B) for predicting long-term risk of ACS patients. METHODS: We included 2729 ACS patients from the OCEA (Observation of cardiovascular events in ACS patients). The earlier admitted 1910 patients were enrolled as development cohort; and the subsequently admitted 819 subjects were treated as validation cohort. We investigated 10-year risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI) and all cause death in these patients. Potential variables contributing to risk of clinical events were assessed using Cox regression models and a score was derived using main part of these variables. RESULTS: During 16,110 person-years of follow-up, there were 238 CV death/MI in the development cohort. The 7 most important predictors including in the final model were NT-proBNP, D-dimer, GDF-15, peripheral artery disease (PAD), Fibrinogen, ST-segment elevated MI (STEMI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), termed as CB-ACS score. C-index of the score for predication of cardiovascular events was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.76-0.82) in development cohort and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.76-0.78) in the validation cohort (5832 person-years of follow-up), which outperformed GRACE 2.0 and ABC-ACS risk score. The CB-ACS score was also well calibrated in development and validation cohort (Greenwood-Nam-D'Agostino: P = 0.70 and P = 0.07, respectively). CONCLUSIONS CB-ACS risk score provides a useful tool for long-term prediction of CV events in patients with ACS. This model outperforms GRACE 2.0 and ABC-ACS ischemic risk score.

The disturbance of the human microbiota influences the occurrence and progression of many diseases. Live therapeutic bacteria, with their genetic manipulability, anaerobic tendencies, and immunomodulatory properties, are emerging as promising therapeutic agents. However, their clinical applications face challenges in maintaining activity and achieving precise spatiotemporal release, particularly in the harsh gastrointestinal environment. This review highlights the innovative bacterial functionalized encapsulation strategies developed through advances in physicochemical and biological techniques. We comprehensively review how bacterial encapsulation strategies can be used to provide physical barriers and enhanced adhesion properties to live microorganisms, while introducing superior material properties to live bacteria. In addition, this review outlines how bacterial surface coating can facilitate targeted delivery and precise spatiotemporal release of live bacteria. Furthermore, it elucidates their potential applications for treating different diseases, along with critical perspectives on challenges in clinical translation. This review comprehensively analyzes the connection between functionalized bacterial encapsulation and innovative biomedical applications, providing a theoretical reference for the development of next-generation bacterial therapies.
