Objective:
To explore the effectiveness of different intervention modalities on nonsuicidal selfinjury (NSSI) in adolescents, so as to provide an evidencebased basis for the intervention strategy of NSSI in adolescents.
Methods:
Randomized controlled trials on interventions for adolescent NSSI were retrieved from databases, such as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, spanning from the inception of these databases to March 5, 2025. Network Metaanalysis was performed by using Stata 17.0 and Review Manager 5.3 software, and the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95%CI were used as the effect indicators to compare the differences in the effectiveness of the interventions and rank the effect.
Results:
A total of 26 articles with 2 034 adolescents with NSSI were included in the study, including 10 intervention modalities:dialectical behavior therapy, emotional regulation intervention, mentalizationbased therapy, family therapy, cutting down programme, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, stepped care approach, positive psychological intervention, and acceptance and commitment therapy. The results showed that compared with the treatment as usual, positive psychological intervention [SMD(95%CI)=-2.12(-3.51 to -0.74)], stepped care intervention [SMD(95%CI)=-2.07(-3.43 to -0.71)], and dialectical behavior therapy [SMD(95%CI)=-1.70(-2.60 to -0.80)], cognitive behavioral therapy [SMD(95%CI)=-1.54(-2.61 to -0.48)], and acceptance and commitment therapy[SMD(95%CI)=-1.50(-2.68 to -0.32)] were statistically significant differences in reducing adolescents NSSI behaviors(P<0.05). Positive psychological intervention, stepped care intervention, and dialectical behavior therapy were more effective than the mentalizationbased therapy and the cutting down programme (SMD=-2.08, -2.03, -1.66, -2.06, -2.01, -1.64,P<0.05); the area under the cumulative ranking probability graph revealed that positive psychological intervention may have the best effect in improving NSSI among adolescents (82.5).
Conclusions
Positive psychological interventions show the best results in improving adolescent NSSI among multiple intervention modalities. It is recommended to give priority to positive psychological interventions in clinical interventions.

Objective:This study identifies independent predictive indicators to distinguish autoimmune gastritis from Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori)-induced atrophic gastritis and validates their diagnostic performance to compare laboratory indicators of autoimmune gastritis and H. pylori-induced atrophic gastritis. Methods:A retrospective comparison of laboratory examination indicators was conducted for chronic atrophic gastritis patients with involvement of the gastric fundus and corpus, who were followed up at the Department of Gastroenterology, Xijing Hospital, from January 2014 to September 2024. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were utilized to determine the optimal cutoff points and corresponding diagnostic thresholds. In addition, multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify independent predictive indicators for autoimmune gastritis, with further assessment in a validation cohort.Results:A total of 139 patients with autoimmune gastritis and 209 patients with H. pylori-induced atrophic gastritis were included. Pepsinogen (PG) Ⅰ levels and the PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ratio in patients with autoimmune gastritis were significantly lower than in those with H. pylori-induced atrophic gastritis [11.0 (4.8, 22.5) vs. 41.8 (32.2, 59.9) μg/L, U=722.00, P<0.001; 1.24 (0.75, 3.54) vs. 5.76 (4.31, 7.12), U=817.00, P<0.001], while gastrin levels were significantly higher [375 (84, 738) vs. 49 (35, 81) ng/L, U=378.00, P<0.001]. PG Ⅰ was identified as an independent predictive variable, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.847 (95% CI 0.791-0.904), sensitivity of 77.6%, specificity of 91.8%, positive predictive value of 80.5%, and negative predictive value of 90.5%. Conclusions:Significant differences in laboratory indicators were observed between autoimmune gastritis and H. pylori-induced atrophic gastritis in chronic atrophic gastritis involving gastric fundus and corpus. Besides, PG Ⅰ demonstrated good diagnostic performance in identifying autoimmune gastritis and can effectively differentiate between different types of atrophic gastritis.

Cardiovascular disease is a health hazard to humans and systolic heart failure due to myocardial infarction is a major cause of death.It was previously thought that myocardial cells of the adult mammalian heart possess a limited ability to proliferate and self-renew.However,it has been widely reported that mammals have the ability to regenerate the myocardium,which is restricted to early postnatal life,and that it is strong enough to repair damaged heart tissue.The discovery of myocardial regeneration in neonatal hearts has provided an ideal animal model to investigate the mechanisms that affect myocardial regeneration,and many mechanisms that reverse myocardial cell cycle arrest and promote myocardial regeneration have been revealed.In this article,we review the factors affecting gene expression for myocardial regeneration(e.g.,ncRNAs and transcription factors),myocardial regeneration-related signaling pathways,and the regulation of myocardial regeneration by non-myocardial cells(e.g.,extracellular matrix,immune response,and epicardium)to provide directions for achieving myocardial regeneration after myocardial injury in adult mammals.

While biological identification technology has brought positive impacts to society,it has also raised ethical issues,such as privacy protection and fair application.Taking the technical dimension as the main line is the foundation of efficient and agile governance of ethical issues in biological identification technology.Based on the technology track theory,a framework for ethical governance of biological identification technology was constructed,and the track and ethical governance technology of biological identification technology were sorted out.The key to efficient governance lies in the application of ethical governance technologies such as privacy and security protection and fairness detection at the three levels of the entire lifecycle of biological identification technology,including data,algorithms,and systems.Taking Hikvision's facial recognition technology as an example,this paper elaborated that increasing the application of ethical governance technology is of great significance to ensure the trustworthy and sustainable development of biological identification technology.

Neural loops are formed by interconnections between neurons through synaptic structures,which are the basic units of information transmission and processing in the brain and play an important role in the regulation of neural functions.After stroke,neural connections between the infarct and peri-infarct regions and the remote area are damaged,resulting in patients being at risk of neurological dysfunction or even disability.However,with advances in detection technology,an increasing number of studies are demonstrating that patients with stroke can undergo some functional recovery during the chronic phase,possibly via a mechanism related to the re-establishment of synaptic connections and neural circuits.Therefore,the development of specific technology to identify and manipulate neuronal activity patterns,as well as the use of high-resolution temporal and spatial imaging strategies to decipher these neurological processes,will allow us to understand the whole-brain network dynamics of stroke recovery and the mechanisms by which neural loop reestablishment occurs.Furthermore,we may be able to neurobiologically comprehend the closed-loop mechanisms that underlie the development of stroke pathology and their relationship to behavioral outcomes.Current technologies used for studying neural circuits include optogenetics,chemical genetics,in vivo calcium imaging,and functional magnetic resonance imaging.This article introduces the working principles of these four major technologies and focuses on summarizing the result of their respective application in resolving neural remodeling after stroke.We briefly analyze the application scenarios,advantages and disadvantages,and future development trends of each technique.This paper will help clinical and basic researchers to use these technologies to discover new therapeutic strategies and evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation strategies.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the Fangfeng Tongshengsan on post-chemoembolization syndrome with primary liver cancer or postoperative liver metastases of colorectal cancer. MethodSeventy-two patients suffered from post-chemoembolization syndrome after transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization were randomly divided into 2 groups, including a Fangfeng Tongshengsan group and a control group, with 36 patients in each group. The patients in Fangfeng Tongshengsan group orally took the decoction for consecutive 7 d. The patients in the control group were physically cooled down with alcohol rub bath and ice pack for consecutive 7 d. Furthermore, the difference of fever, Karnofsky performance status (KPS), pain in the liver region, nausea vomiting, constipation, and liver function between these two groups were observed. ResultCompared with the control group, Fangfeng Tongshengsan significantly relieved fever, reduced the body temperature (P<0.05), and shortened the duration of fever (P<0.05), indicating that Fangfeng Tongshengsan remarkably improved the KPS (P<0.05). Meanwhile, Fangfeng Tongshengsan obviously alleviated nausea, vomiting, and constipation status and shortened the duration time compared with the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the parameters of liver function including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and total bilirubin (TBIL) were significantly decreased in the Fangfeng Tongshengsan group (P<0.05), which indicated that Fangfeng Tongshengsan alleviated liver dysfunction of patients with post-chemoembolization syndrome. ConclusionFangfeng Tongshengsan can be used to treat post-chemoembolization syndrome with primary liver cancer and postoperative liver metastases of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the role of recombinant phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) tandem dominant epitopes (PLA2RTD) in the removal of anti-PLA2R autoantibodies (anti-PLA2R) from primary membranous nephropathy (PMN).Methods:The recombinant protein PLA2RTD (cysteine-rich domain, C-type lectin like domain 1 and C-type lectin like domain 7) was expressed in bacmid-insect cell expression system. Circular dichroism was used to determine the secondary structure of PLA2RTD. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence were used to determine the biological activity of PLA2RTD. Epoxy activation method was used to couple the recombinant PLA2RTD and agarose gel CL-6B microspheres for preparing specific immune adsorbent of anti-PLA2R.Results:The study achieved the expression of PLA2RTD in the first time from the bacmid-insect cell system, demonstrating the good immunogenicity and high binding specificity of PLA2RTD. A single in vitro adsorption of PLA2RTD could averagely eliminate 76.66% of anti-PLA2R [(6.66±0.30) RU/ml vs. (28.54±2.10) RU/ml], the changes of IgG, IgA, albumin, β2 microglobulin, interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor α were all less than 4% after completion of adsorption, and the second or third repeated use of PLA2RTD could maintain the adsorption efficiency of about 65%. Conclusion:PLA2RTD-based specific immunosorbent can effectively remove anti-PLA2R in plasma, which provides a new way to specifically remove PMN-related autoantibodies.
