Objective To analyze causal relationship between education level and the occurrence of depression by using two sample Mendelian randomization(MR)study method.Methods The data of education level and depression were extracted from the Genome-Wide Association Study database,and the two-sample MR analysis was conducted,and sensitivity analysis was performed using the leave-one-out method.Results Ultimately,58 single nucleotide polymorphisms were successfully included.The results of bidirectional MR analysis showed that increase in education level can reduce the risk of depression(OR=0.95,95％CI:0.92-0.98,P＜0.01).MR-Egger regression and sensitivity analysis results showed that there was no horizontal pleiotropy in included single nucleotide polymorphisms(P＞0.05).Conclusion The risk of developing depression decreases with increasing education level.

Objective This study conducted a dynamic network analysis of the symptoms in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)at different postoperative time points,aiming to explore evolving core symptoms and provide a basis for developing precise clinical symptom management programs.Methods A longitudinal study was carried out involving 370 HCC patients who underwent surgical treatment at a hospital in Kunming city between February and December 2024.Questionnaires were administered on postoperative day 2(T1)and day 7(T2),using the Chinese version of the Memory Symptom Assessment Scale.Symptom networks of 18 symptoms were constructed for both time points using R software to explore core symptoms and their interconnections.A network comparison test was also performed to assess differences between the 2 time points.Results All 370 patients completed the questionnaire at T1,and 357 valid responses were collected at T2,yielding a response rate of 96.49％.At T1,"feeling nervous"had the highest centrality(rs=1.29),while at T2,"feeling sad"was most central(rs=1.11).Overall strength of the symptom networks showed that notable changes were observed in the edge weights between symptoms(P=0.01).Conclusion While the overall structure of early postoperative symptoms in HCC patients remained relatively stable over time,the core symptoms shifted."Feeling nervous"emerged as the central symptom at T1,whereas"feeling sad"became predominant.Digestive-related symptoms are progressively more closely linked over time.Healthcare professionals should dynamically assess patients' early postoperative psychological symptoms and digestive system related symptoms,and focus on intervening with symptoms of tension and sadness.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of lobetyolin's intervention in HepG2 cells abnormal cholesterol metabolism.Methods This study used oleic acid(OA)stimulation of HepG2 cells as a model.MTT assay,oil red O staining,biochemical kit assay,qRT-PCR assay,Western blot assay and NBD labeled cholesterol effection assay were used to study the effect of lobetyolin on cholesterol metabolism in HepG2 cells.Results The results showed that lobetyolin could reduce the content of lipid drops,the levels of triglyceride(TG)and total cholesterol(TC)in HepG2 cells stimulated by OA,increase cholesterol effection rate,and up-regulate cytochrome 7A1(CYP7A1),liver x receptor α(LXRα),ATP-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPARγ)and other mRNA or protein expression levels.However,combined intervention with PPARγ antagonist Mifobate(SR-202)can significantly inhibit the promoting effect of lobetyolin on cholesterol metabolism in HepG2 cells.Conclusion This study revealed that lobetyolin can improve the cholesterol effection rate of HepG2 cells stimulated by OA and promote cholesterol catabolism,and the mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of PPARγ/CYP7A1 pathway.

Objective:To explore the application process, efficacy and safety of MR-guided radiotherapy based on MR-linac in esophageal cancer.Methods:The clinical data of patients with esophageal cancer treated with MR-linac at Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute from September 2021 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, to investigate the treatment process of esophageal cancer with MR-linac, and to analyze the efficacy and safety of patients. All patients received MR-guided radiotherapy, underwent CT and MR localization, target area delineation, and design of the Monaco treatment planning system plan. Adaptation-to-position adjustment was conducted during the pre-treatment evaluation. The median number of fractions was 25, the median single dose of planning target volume was 1.8 Gy, and the median total dose was 50.2 Gy. Median follow-up was 16 months.Results:Among the 12 patients in the whole group, there were 1 case of cervical esophageal cancer, 3 cases of upper thoracic esophageal cancer, 4 cases of middle thoracic esophageal cancer and 4 cases of lower thoracic esophageal cancer, including 3 cases of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and 9 cases of radical radiotherapy. All patients had a smooth treatment process. The median treatment time was 33 min, and the patients had good compliance. For patients with radical radiotherapy, one month after radiotherapy, the number of objective remission cases was 3, and the number of disease-control cases was 9; six months after radiotherapy, the number of objective remission cases was 3, and the number of disease-control cases was 6. All patients treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy underwent surgery within 2 months, and one patient achieved pathological complete remission. The most common acute adverse reactions were radiation esophagitis (7 cases) and leukopenia in bone marrow suppression (8 cases), with late-stage adverse reactions being radiation pneumonia (1 case). The adverse reactions to radiotherapy were slight, and no grade 4 or above adverse reactions were observed.Conclusion:The clinical treatment process for esophageal cancer under MR-guided radiotherapy based on MR-linac is feasible, with good curative effects and mild adverse reactions.

Objective:Exploring the clinical effects of silicone silver ion foam dressing in managing scalp donor site wounds in burn patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of burn patients admitted to the 940th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from January 2020 to January 2023. Patients underwent intraoperative harvesting of split-thickness skin grafting to repair deep burn wounds, with the denuded scalp area covered by either silicone silver ion foam dressing (Group A) or petrolatum gauze (Group B). Comparison of the following 5 parameters between the two groups: (1) Postoperative wound healing time. (2) Initial dressing change pain score was assessed using the numeric rating scale (NRS). 0 points indicated no pain, 1-3 points indicated mild pain, 4-6 points indicated moderate pain, and 7-10 points indicated severe pain. (3) Number of dressing changes. (4) Secondary trauma score, with a total score ranging from 1 to 3, where a higher score indicates more severe trauma. (5) Proportion of wounds healed to grade A (number of grade A healed cases/total number of cases in each group×100%). Depending on the data type, between-group comparisons were performed using t-test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, or chi-square test. P<0.05 was considered a statistically significant difference. Results:A total of 60 patients, with 30 in each Group A and Group B, were included in the study. Group A was comprised of 18 males and 12 females, with an average age of (29.4±16.6) years. The burn area was (21.43±5.66)% of the total body surface area (TBSA), and the area of skin taken from the scalp was (1.80±0.61)% of TBSA. Group B was comprised of 20 males and 10 females, with an average age of (30.2±16.2) years. The burn area was (21.37±5.67)% of TBSA, and the area of skin taken from the scalp was (1.78±0.63)% of TBSA. No statistically significant differences were observed in gender distribution, age, burn area, and scalp area between the two groups( P>0.05). The wound healing time in the denuded scalp area was shorter in Group A than in Group B [(5.97±0.41) days vs. (6.93±0.58) days, t=-7.40, P<0.001]. The initial NRS pain score during dressing change was lower in Group A than in Group B [3.0 (2.0, 4.0) points vs. 5.5 (4.0, 6.0) points, Z=-4.82, P<0.001]. Group A had fewer frequency of dressing changes compared to Group B [2 (2, 2) vs. 4 (3, 5), Z=-6.64, P<0.001]. The secondary injury score was lower in Group A than in Group B [1 (1, 1) points vs. 3 (3, 3) points, Z=-7.08, P<0.001]. The proportion of grade A healing was 96.7% (29/30) in Group A and 90.0% (27/30) in Group B, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.27, P=0.605). Conclusion:The application of silicone silver ion foam dressing to cover the denuded scalp area of burn patients significantly improves therapeutic efficacy compared to petrolatum gauze. It can shorten wound healing time, reduce the frequency of dressing changes, alleviate pain, minimize the occurrence of secondary injuries, and enhance patient comfort.
