Objective: To explore the mediating effect of rumination between life events and learning value doubt among junior high school students, so as to provide reference for the psychological health education of junior high school students. Methods: From March to July 2023, a total of 930 junior high school students from Guangdong, Jiangsu and Hebei were selected by a combination of convenient sampling methods. Participants completed the Scales of Value of Learning (SVL), Ruminative Response scale (RRS) and Adolescent Self rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC). The t test and ANOVA were used for inter group comparisons and Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation analysis and bootstrap method was used for mediating effect test. Results: The life events of junior middle school students were positively correlated with learning value doubt ( r =0.18), rumination ( r = 0.65 ) and its three dimensions (brooding, reflective pondering, and symptom focused rumination) ( r =0.60, 0.59, 0.66). Learning value doubt was positively correlated with rumination ( r =0.15) and its three dimensions ( r =0.07, 0.13, 0.19) ( P <0.05).The symptom focused rumination (effect size=0.09, 95% CI =0.06-0.11) and brooding (effect size=-0.07, 95% CI =-0.09--0.04) dimensions partially mediated the relationship between life events and learning value doubt. In the two influential pathways, symptom focused rumination exerts a stronger impact, and the difference was statistically significant (effect size=0.15, 95% CI =0.11- 0.20 , excluding 0) ( P <0.05). Conclusions Life events experienced by junior high school students can positively predict learning value doubt through symptom focused rumination, and negatively predict learning value doubt through brooding. Active attention should be paid to the mental health status of junior high school students, intervene promptly when they experience life events, reduce symptom based rumination, and improve their learning enthusiasm.

Objective:To explore the relationship between parental mediation and adolescents'tendency of online game addiction,and the effect of self-control in it.Methods:Totally 553 senior high school students were tested with the Chinese version of Parental Mediation of Online Activities Questionnaire,Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-form(IGDS9-SF)and Dual-mode of Self-control Scale for Adolescents(DMSC-S).Parental active me-diation,restrictive mediation,Internet game addictive tendency,adolescent self-control impulsive system,control system were evaluated respectively.SPSS macro program PROCESS was used to test the mediating role.Results:The scores of restrictive mediation of parents were negatively associated with the scores of adolescents'tendency of online game addiction(β=-0.14,P＜0.001).Self-control scores played an independent mediating role between parental active mediation scores and online game addiction tendency scores(indirect effect=-0.09,95％CI=-0.09--0.01)and a partial mediating role between parental restrictive mediation scores and online game addiction tendency scores(indirect effect=-0.04,95％CI=0.00-0.07).Conclusion:Parental active and restrictive medi-ation are related to adolescents'tendency of online game addiction.Self-control plays a partial mediating role.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and influencing factors of selective ligation of the middle meningeal artery after drilling and drainage surgery for chronic subdural hematoma.Methods:The clinical data of patients with chronic subdural hemorrhage who underwent routine drilling and drainage surgery in Beijing Geriatric Hospital from October 2018 to January 2021 were taken as the control group; The clinical data of patients with chronic subdural hemorrhage who underwent routine drilling and drainage surgery and ligation of the middle meningeal artery in the same hospital from February 2021 to January 2023 was taken as the observation group.Results:Comparison of CSDH Markwalder grading scale and Glasgow coma scale (MGS-GCS) neurosurgical dysfunction grading before and after surgery between the control group and the observation group showed statistically significant differences ( χ2 = 34.56 and 63.39, P<0.01). There was statistically significant difference in the grading of postoperative MGS-GCS neurosurgical dysfunction between the control group and the observation group ( χ2 = 4.34, P = 0.037); the recurrence rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group: 10.6% (5/47) vs. 28.0% (14/50), with statistical differences ( χ2 = 4.63, P = 0.031). The factors that reduce recurrence in the middle meningeal artery ligation group included Alzheimer disease coronary heart disease, males, oral antipsychotic and oral anticoagulant ( χ2 = 15.25, 4.36, 6.09, 12.63 and 8.68; P<0.05). Conclusions:Preliminary exploration has found that selective ligation of the middle meningeal artery during the drilling and drainage surgery for chronic subdural hematoma can reduce postoperative recurrence, especially suitable for patients with Alzheimer disease, coronary heart disease, males, oral antipsychotic and oral anticoagulant. After preoperative CT skull reconstruction and pruning to obtain the sulcus of the middle meningeal artery, the body surface localization of the ligation of the middle meningeal artery can be obtained. This surgery is safe and there is no additional damage to the cranial nerve. The efficacy of this surgical technique is expected to be further validated through large-scale, multicenter, randomized controlled studies.

Self-control brings important effects on the process and maintenance of health behavior change in individuals, but its mechanism is unclear.Healthy behavior change could be divided into goal-oriented behavior initiation stage, combating habit rejection stage, and habit acquisition and maintenance stage.Established theories of health behavior change mainly focus on the conflict between the goal-directed behavior initiation phase and habitual behavior.It is also indicated that disgust is the key mechanism to restrain the implementation of goal-oriented behavior, but ignore the mechanisms in the action implementation and new behavior acquisition phases.In fact, goal-directed and habitual behaviors work together to ensure that individuals adapt efficiently to their environment.However, when goal-oriented behavior becomes habitual, old habit and new goal-oriented behavior begin to compete, causing conflicts and aversion.The core phase of self-control functioning is just in the confrontation with habit rejection phase.On the one hand, self-control directly assists individual goal-directed behavior habituation through conflict sense adaptation.On the other hand, intensive management and stimulus control indirectly assist goal-directed behavior habituation through the relief of conflict sense.Further exploration of the theory and clinical practice of self-control affecting healthy behavior change is needed in the future.

Objective:To assess whether urinary incontinence after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is associated with membranous urethral length(MUL)on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging.Methods:The data of 96 patients who underwent HoLEP from January 2019 to April 2021 in Peking University Third Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. For all patients, the average age was (70.0±7.7) years old, the average body mass index was (23.9±2.9)kg/m 2, median pre-biopsy PSA was 3.79(2.48, 6.03)ng/ml, the average prostatic volume was (60.5±35.0)ml. 22 patients(22.9%) suffered with diabetes mellitus, and 17 patients(17.7%)had at least one time urinary retention. MUL was measured on MRI as the vertical distance from prostatic apex to the entry of the urethra into the penile bulb. All patients' median MUL was 13(11, 17)mm. The recovery of continence was followed up 2 weeks after HoLEP. The difference of age, body mass index, preoperative PSA, diabetes mellitus, urinary retention, prostate volume and MUL between urinary continence and incontinence group 2 weeks after HoLEP operation. The variables with P<0.1 were included in multivariable logistic regression to analyze the independent risk factors of urinary incontinence after HoLEP were compared. Results:All operations were successfully completed. The continence returned to normal in 72 cases (75.0%) and urinary incontinence existed in 24 cases (25.0%) in 2 weeks after surgery. There were 27 cases (37.5%) in continence group and 16 cases (66.7%) in incontinence group for those aged≥70 years. 21 cases (29.2%) in continence group and 13 cases (54.2%) in incontinence group had prostate volume ≥ 60 ml. There were 30 cases (41.7%) in continence group and 20 cases (83.3%) in incontinence group with MUL<13 mm. χ 2 test showed that age ( P=0.013), prostate volume ( P=0.027) and MUL ( P<0.001) were related to the incontinence after surgery. The age, prostate volume and MUL were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. Multiple logistic regression showed that MUL<13 mm( P<0.001) was independent predictor for incontinence after HoLEP. Conclusions:The incidence of urinary incontinence was high 2 weeks after HoLEP. Short MUL, which is less than 13 mm, is significantly associated with delayed recovery of urinary continence after HoLEP.

Nitrate is the main form of inorganic nitrogen that crop absorbs, and nitrate transporter 2 (NRT2) is a high affinity transporter using nitrate as a specific substrate. When the available nitrate is limited, the high affinity transport systems are activated and play an important role in the process of nitrate absorption and transport. Most NRT2 cannot transport nitrates alone and require the assistance of a helper protein belonging to nitrate assimilation related family (NAR2) to complete the absorption or transport of nitrates. Crop nitrogen utilization efficiency is affected by environmental conditions, and there are differences between varieties, so it is of great significance to develop varieties with high nitrogen utilization efficiency. Sorghum bicolor has high stress tolerance and is more efficient in soil nitrogen uptake and utilization. The S. bicolor genome database was scanned to systematically analyze the gene structure, chromosomal localization, physicochemical properties, secondary structure and transmembrane domain, signal peptide and subcellular localization, promoter region cis-acting elements, phylogenetic evolution, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) recognition and annotation, and selection pressure of the gene family members. Through bioinformatics analysis, 5 NRT2 gene members (designated as SbNRT2-1a, SbNRT2-1b, SbNRT2-2, SbNRT2-3, and SbNRT2-4) and 2 NAR2 gene members (designated as SbNRT3-1 and SbNRT3-2) were identified, the number of which was less than that of foxtail millet. SbNRT2/3 were distributed on 3 chromosomes, and could be divided into four subfamilies. The genetic structure of the same subfamilies was highly similar. The average value of SbNRT2/3 hydrophilicity was positive, indicating that they were all hydrophobic proteins, whereas α-helix and random coil accounted for more than 70% of the total secondary structure. Subcellular localization occurred on plasma membrane, where SbNRT2 proteins did not contain signal peptides, but SbNRT3 proteins contained signal peptides. Further analysis revealed that the number of transmembrane domains of the SbNRT2s family members was greater than 10, while that of the SbNRT3s were 2. There was a close collinearity between NRT2/3s of S. bicolor and Zea mays. Protein domains analysis showed the presence of MFS_1 and NAR2 protein domains, which supported executing high affinity nitrate transport. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that SbNRT2/3 were more closely related to those of Z. mays and Setaria italic. Analysis of gene promoter cis-acting elements indicated that the promoter region of SbNRT2/3 had several plant hormones and stress response elements, which might respond to growth and environmental cues. Gene expression heat map showed that SbNRT2-3 and SbNRT3-1 were induced by nitrate in the root and stem, respectively, and SbNRT2-4 and SbNRT2-3 were induced by low nitrogen in the root and stem. Non-synonymous SNP variants were found in SbNRT2-4 and SbNRT2-1a. Selection pressure analysis showed that the SbNRT2/3 were subject to purification and selection during evolution. The expression of SbNRT2/3 gene and the effect of aphid infection were consistent with the expression analysis results of genes in different tissues, and SbNRT2-1b and SbNRT3-1 were significantly expressed in the roots of aphid lines 5-27sug, and the expression levels of SbNRT2-3, SbNRT2-4 and SbNRT3-2 were significantly reduced in sorghum aphid infested leaves. Overall, genome-wide identification, expression and DNA variation analysis of NRT2/3 gene family of Sorghum bicolor provided a basis for elucidating the high efficiency of sorghum in nitrogen utilization.

Objective:The clinical features, laboratory indices, and imaging data of patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) were described and analyzed, aiming to provide helpful information for the diagnosis and treatment of PJP. Methods:A retrospective study were conducted with data from 154 PJP patients who visited China-Japan Friendship Hospital from May 2017 to August 2020. Their clinical characteristics, laboratory and imaging data, and clinical outcomes were collected for analysis. The patients were further divided into the death group (51 cases) and the survival group(103 cases). The differences between the groups were compared by using t-test, nonparametric test, and chi-square test. Results:Of the 154 PJP patients, there were 89 males and 65 females, with a mean age of (53.7±14.8) years. Among them, 85.7% (132/154) were on immunosuppressive/glucocorticoids agents within the past month. Besides, 27.9% (43/154) and 33.1% (51/154) had kidney diseases and connective tissue diseases, respectively. The major clinical manifestations in these patients involved fever 82.9% (126/154), cough 59.7% (92/154), and dyspnea 52.6% (81/154). For the laboratory data, the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was 561.0 (434.3, 749.0) IU/L and the value increased in 91.3% (95/104) of the patients. The CD4+T-cell lymphocytes in 88.0% (95/108) and 57.4% (62/108) of patients were lower than 400/μl and 200/μl, respectively. Furthermore, (1, 3)-β-D glucan (BG) increased in 74.4% (67/90) of PJP patients (≥100.0 ng/L). For the imaging results, chest computed tomography (CT) showed diffuse ground-glass shadows/grid shadows in 90% (117/130) patients. Compared with the survival group, higher LDH [690.5 (528.8, 932.3) IU/L vs 502.5 (381.8, 657.0) IU/L, Z=-3.375, P=0.001], white blood cell count (WBC) [9.8 (5.8, 12.6) ×10 9/L vs 7.3 (5.0, 10.1) ×10 9/L, Z=-2.392, P=0.017], and age [(69.8±14.5) years vs (50.6±14.0) years, t=-3.756, P=0.001] were found in the death group. Lower lymphocyte ratio [5.3 (3.2, 9.3) % vs 9.6 (5.6, 17.2) %, Z=?3.262, P=0.001] and oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2) levels [(73.2±20.5) mmHg vs (64.8±17.7) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), t=2.345, P=0.021] were also observed in the death group. Furthermore, in the death group, the bacterial and fungal infection rate was higher than the rates in the survival group [55.1% (27/51) vs 21.5% (22/103), χ 2=15.372, P=0.001]. Conclusions:Long-term use of immunosuppressive agents or glucocorticoids predispose to PJP. CD4+T-lymphocytes, LDH, and BG might be used as important auxiliary examinations for PJP patients. Age, LDH, WBC, lymphocyte ratio, PaO 2 and possible combinations with bacterial or fungal infections are more closely related to the prognostic of PJP patients.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a well-tolerated, safe and noninvasive physical brain stimulation method, which has been widely used in the treatment of some common mental disorders and neurological diseases and has achieved certain clinical effects. It is necessary to develop expert consensus on clinical treatment to improve the use norms in related fields. According to the clinical research published before August 2021 and the method of evidence-based medicine, we published an expert consensus on tDCS in the treatment of depressive disorders, schizophrenia, substance use-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep disorders, pain, Parkinson′s disease, stroke, and epilepsy. The consensus also introduced the safety and efficacy of the clinical use of tDCS, and standardized the treatment process and operation technology, aiming to provide guidance for the clinical application of tDCS and promote the standardized development of this treatment technology in the future.
