Objective:To analyze the factors influencing preoperative anxiety and depression in patients undergoing eye plastic surgery.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted, which included 160 patients awaiting for ocular plastic surgery at the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January to May 2019. Among them, there were 22 males and 138 females, with an average age of (38.6±9.0) years. A one-on-one survey was conducted on enrolled patients using a paper questionnaire. The survey included general patient information, the simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ), the Chinese version of the Kessler 10-item questionnaire (Kessler 10), the perceived social support scale (PSSS), and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). Factors related to anxiety and depression were screened using through univariate analysis and Spearman correlation analysis, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the anxiety and depression.Results:The detection rate for preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing eye plastic surgery was 16.3% (26/160), and that for depression was 25.0% (40/160). A total of 11.3% (18/160) of patients had both anxiety and depression. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that positive coping strategies ( OR=0.206, 95% CI: 0.051-0.836), depression ( OR=3.596, 95% CI: 1.068-12.107), and a high Kessler10 scale total score ( OR=1.081, 95% CI: 1.005-1.162) were related to anxiety. A monthly income of 10 000-<20 000 yuan ( OR=0.196, 95% CI: 0.044-0.875), a high total score on the Kessler10 scale ( OR=1.194, 95% CI: 1.085-1.314), and a high total PSSS score ( OR=0.913, 95% CI: 0.870-0.958) were related to depression. Conclusion:Factors affecting anxiety are positive coping strategies, depression, and a high total score on the Kessler 10 scale, while those affecting depression are a monthly income of 10 000-<20 000 yuan, a high total score on the Kessler 10 scale, and a high total score on the PSSS.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the ABO serological and molecular characteristics of a Chinese pedigree carrying an ABO*cisAB.01 allele for the blood subgroup. METHODS: A proband undergoing blood preparation for a surgery due to an open rupture of the extensor hallucis longus tendon in the left thumb on September 5, 2024 at Weihai Central Hospital and his family members were selected as study subjects. ABO serological type of six individuals from three generations was determined by serological methods. PCR was carried out to amplify exons 6 and 7 of the ABO gene, and the amplified products were directly sequenced. Samples of the proband and his mother, son, and daughter were subjected to clone sequencing analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Weihai Central Hospital (Ethics No.: LL-2024-269-01). RESULTS: Serological testing showed that the proband and his mother were of the AB subtype, whilst his daughter was A subtype B, his father was of O, his wife was AB, and his son was A. Direct sequencing showed that the proband's genotype was ABO*cisAB.01/O.01.02, and his mother, son, and daughter had all carried an ABO*cisAB.01 allele. There were significant differences in allelic competition when the A, B and O genes were co-dominant with the cisAB.01 allele, respectively. CONCLUSION There is allelic competition between the cisAB.01 allele and different ABO alleles. Blood type serological tests combined with molecular methods and family investigations can help ascertain and interpret the ABO blood type phenotypes.

Objective To investigate the radiological features of intracranial white epidermoid cysts(WECs).Methods A retro-spective analysis was conducted on the CT and MRI findings of 7 patients pathologically confirmed with WECs.All patients under-went plain CT and MRI scans,and six patients underwent enhanced MRI scans.Results All cases were solitary lesions,located in the right middle cranial fossa(2 cases),suprasellar area(2 cases),left cerebellopontine angle(1 case),right cerebellar vermis(1 case),and cerebellomedullary cistern(1 case),respectively.The lesions appeared oval or irregular in shape with clear boundaries and no perile-sional edema.The CT scans predominantly showed high density in 7 cases,with calcification in 1 case.On T1WI,7 cases exhibited high signal with mixed signals in some areas;6 cases showed primarily low signal on T2WI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR),with 1 case predominantly showed high signal;all 7 cases demonstrated low signal on diffusion weighted imaging(DWI).The margins of 1 lesion appeared"curly",and another exhibited a"swirl"pattern.5 cases had no enhancement,while 1 case had mild marginal enhancement.Conclusion Intracranial WECs has certain imaging characteristics.When a cystic lesion shows high density on CT,predominantly high signal on T1WI,and mostly no enhancement,considering the possibility of WECs.

Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by erosive arthritis that can eventually lead to joint deformity and loss of function,which is unknown.Autophagy is a self-degradation process in which cells reuse internal proteins and organelles allowing organisms to withstand adverse situations such as starvation and infection,and eventually allowing cells to survive.In recent years,many studies have discovered that autophagy plays a role in the pathogenesis of RA,including the production of pannus,synovitis,bone degradation,and other critical pathological connections that influence RA progression and prog-nosis.This article examines the function of autophagy in the pathogenesis of RA,with the goal of generating new ideas for future RA treatment and drug development.

Familial glucocorticoid deficiency type 4(FGD4) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase(NNT) gene. The article presented clinical data, laboratory results, and genetic mutation findings of a child with FGD4. Additionally, a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of FGD4 patients reported domestically and internationally was conducted, summarizing the types of gene mutations and clinical characteristics. This case identifies novel mutation sites in the NNT gene, providing a basis for the early diagnosis and treatment of FGD4 patients.

Objective To explore the effect of nimodipine combined with minimally invasive puncture on neurological function,hemodynamics,and serum inflammatory factor levels in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH).Methods A total of 108 patients with HICH treated at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from June 2019 to May 2022 were selected as the research subjects.They were divided into an observation group(n=55)and a control group(n=53)according to the treatment method.All patients in the two groups received minimally invasive puncture;on this basis,the patients in the observation group were treated with nimodipine for one month.The neurological deficit of patients in the two groups was evaluated by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score before and after treatment.Before and after treatment,5 mL of fasting venous blood was taken from patients in the morning,and the serum was obtained by centrifugation.The serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),neuron-specific enolase(NSE),C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Ultrasonic transcranial Doppler blood flow analyzer was used to monitor the hemodynamic indexes such as mean blood flow velocity(Vm),resistance index(RI)and pulsitility index(PI)of patients in the two groups before and after treatment.The adverse reactions such as headache,dizziness,infection and rebleeding were recorded in the two groups after treatment.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the NIHSS score and serum NSE and BDNF levels between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the NIHSS score and serum NSE level of patients in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment,while the serum BDNF level was significantly higher than that before treatment(P＜0.05).After treatment,the NIHSS score and serum NSE level of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,while the serum BDNF level was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the Vm,PI and RI between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the Vm and PI of patients in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment,while the RI was significantly lower than that before treatment(P＜0.05).After treatment,the Vm and PI of patients in the observa-tion group were significantly higher than those in the control group,while the RI was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in serum TNF-α,IL-6,and CRP levels between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).The levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6,and CRP of patients in the two groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05).After treatment,serum TNF-α,IL-6,and CRP levels of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in patients in the control group and observation group was 7.55％(4/53)and 9.09％(5/55),respectively,and the difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Nimodipine combined with minimally invasive puncture can effectively improve the blood perfusion rate of HICH patients,reduce the degree of inflammatory response,and alleviate the patients'neurological function damage.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) in Chinese children in order to provide a reference for early diagnosis. METHODS: With Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, SDS, SBDS gene and inherited bone marrow failure as the keywords, the search period was set from January 2002 to October 2022. Relevant literature was retrieved from the Wanfang Database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database. In addition, by using Shwachman-diamond syndrome as a keyword, the search period was also retrieved from the Web of Science, PubMed, and MEDLINE databases from January 2002 to October 2022. A child with SDS treated at the Tongji Hospital was also included. A total of 44 cases with complete clinical data were analyzed with reference to the International Standard for SDS Diagnosis. Chi-square test and t test were used for statistical analysis. Evidence-based research was carried out in the form of systematic review. The epidemiology, clinical characteristics and key points of early diagnosis of the Chinese SDS children were summarized and compared with the international data. RESULTS: The main characteristics of SDS in Chinese children were summarized as follows: The ratio of males to females was about 1.3 : 1, the median age of onset was 3 months, and the median age of diagnosis was 14 months. The first symptoms were often exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (31.8%) and granulocytopenia with infection (31.8%). According to the international consensus, the incidence rates of the three major diseases of SDS were hemocytopenia (95.4%), pancreatic disease (72.7%), and bone abnormality (40.9%). The common factors underlying SDS disease were variants of the SBDS gene (c.258+2T>C and c.183_184TA>CT), albeit there was no significant correlation between genotype and phenotype (P > 0.05). Compared with international reports, the clinical manifestations and genotypes of Chinese SDS children are different (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The SDS children have an early age of onset and significant individual difference. It is necessary to analyze the case-related data to facilitate early recognition, diagnosis and clinical intervention.
