Objective To explore the role of resilience and stress in childhood maltreatment and adolescent depression and anxiety symptoms, and to provide a basis for adolescent psychological intervention. Methods From September to October 2022, a total of 11 217 students from four middle schools in Changsha were selected by multistage stratified sampling, and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Depression–Anxiety–Stress Scales and the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents were used to carry out online questionnaire survey. Results The detection rate of depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms in adolescent was 19.43% (2 179) and 28.7% (3 224). The direct effect of childhood maltreatment on depressive symptoms was significant (β =0.09), Childhood maltreatment is a negative prediction of resilience (β = -0.57) and a positive prediction of pressure (β =0.06); Resilience can negatively predict stress (β = -0.61) and depressive symptoms (β = -0.25) (all P values <0.001); The direct effect of childhood maltreatment on anxiety symptoms was significant (β =0.03), resilience negatively predicts anxiety symptoms (β = -0.08) (all P values <0.01). Resilience and stress have a partially mediating role between childhood maltreatment and depressive symptoms, the mediation effect value was 0.39, accounting for 81.25% of the total effect. The effect values of the three pathways accounted for 29.17%, 8.33% and 43.75% of the total effect, respectively. Resilience and stress have a partial mediating effect between childhood abuse and anxiety symptoms, and the mediating effect was 0.36, accounting for 92.31% of the total effect, and the effect values of the three pathways accounted for 12.82%, 10.26% and 69.23% of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion Childhood maltreatment could affect adolescents’ depression and anxiety through the chain mediating effect of resilience and stress.

Combined vaccines can simplify the vaccination process, improve coverage rates, reduce the risk of adverse events following immunization, lower social costs, and improve the timeliness of childhood vaccination. This article focuses on multi-component vaccines based on the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis containing vaccine. Globally, multiple combined vaccines have been developed and marketed, but the development of combined vaccine is still in its infancy stage in China, with limited vaccine types and doses available. The research, development, and application of combined vaccines still face numerous challenges in China, including technical challenges in research and development, as well as insufficient motivation for research and development. Additionally, the high cost of existing combined vaccines, coupled with low public awareness and weak vaccination intentions, significantly hinders their widespread application, China should continue to rigorously implement the Vaccine Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, promote innovative development of combined vaccines, increase public awareness, strengthen child guardians' confidence in vaccination, and improve the accessibility and affordability of combined vaccines to protect public health across all life stages.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of double joystick technique assisted closed reduction and Kirschner wire internal fixation in the treatment of Gartland type Ⅲ supracondylar fractures of the humerus (SCFH) in children. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 28 cases of Gartland type Ⅲ SCFH with complete data available, who underwent closed reduction and Kirschner wire internal fixation with the double joystick technique between August 2022 and July 2024. There were 23 boys and 5 girls, with an average age of 6.4 years (range, 1-12 years). All fractures resulted from falls and were classified as extension-type. X-ray film showed the radial displacement of the distal fragment in 15 cases and unlar displacement in 13 cases. The interval from injury to operation was 3-36 hours (mean, 19.5 hours). X-ray film re-examination was conducted to evaluate the fracture healing, and the Baumann angle of affected elbow joint and carrying angle of bilateral elbow joints were measured. Elbow joint function was evaluated using the range of motion (flexion and extension) and the Flynn criteria. The above indicators were compared between affected and healthy sides. RESULTS: All operation were successfully completed. The operation time ranged from 15 to 40 minutes (mean, 25.2 minutes). The length of hospital stay was 2-5 days (mean, 3.5 days). All patients were followed up 3-24 months (mean, 11.8 months). X-ray film confirmed fracture healing in all patients, with a mean healing time of 5.4 weeks (range, 4-6 weeks). At last follow-up, the Baumann angle of the affected elbow joint was (73.50±3.46)°, and the carrying angle and the range of motion in flexion and extension of the affected elbow joint were significantly less than the contralateral side (P<0.05). According to the Flynn criteria, the elbow joint function of the affected elbow was evaluated as excellent in 25 cases and good in 3 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 100%. CONCLUSION The double joystick technique is a safe and effective method which can facilitate the closed reduction and Kirschner wire internal fixation of Gartland type Ⅲ SCFH in children without increasing risk of complications.

Testicular histology based on testicular biopsy is an important factor for determining appropriate testicular sperm extraction surgery and predicting sperm retrieval outcomes in patients with azoospermia. Therefore, we developed a deep learning (DL) model to establish the associations between testicular grayscale ultrasound images and testicular histology. We retrospectively included two-dimensional testicular grayscale ultrasound from patients with azoospermia (353 men with 4357 images between July 2017 and December 2021 in The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China) to develop a DL model. We obtained testicular histology during conventional testicular sperm extraction. Our DL model was trained based on ultrasound images or fusion data (ultrasound images fused with the corresponding testicular volume) to distinguish spermatozoa presence in pathology (SPP) and spermatozoa absence in pathology (SAP) and to classify maturation arrest (MA) and Sertoli cell-only syndrome (SCOS) in patients with SAP. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were used to analyze model performance. DL based on images achieved an AUC of 0.922 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.908-0.935), a sensitivity of 80.9%, a specificity of 84.6%, and an accuracy of 83.5% in predicting SPP (including normal spermatogenesis and hypospermatogenesis) and SAP (including MA and SCOS). In the identification of SCOS and MA, DL on fusion data yielded better diagnostic performance with an AUC of 0.979 (95% CI: 0.969-0.989), a sensitivity of 89.7%, a specificity of 97.1%, and an accuracy of 92.1%. Our study provides a noninvasive method to predict testicular histology for patients with azoospermia, which would avoid unnecessary testicular biopsy.

OBJECTIVE To explore comprehensive management and potential issues associated with long-term prescriptions medications of psychiatry， in order to provide a reference for the comprehensive management of long-term prescriptions of psychiatry in psychiatric hospitals and other medical institutions’ pharmacies. METHODS Starting from the applicable principles for long-term prescriptions of psychiatry， this study introduced the standardized assessment and precautions before issuing long-term prescriptions， the formulation and adjustment of the drug list， as well as the rational management of the long-term prescriptions. It also analyzed potential issues that may arise in the comprehensive management of long-term prescription medications and proposed corresponding countermeasures and suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Prior to initiating long-term prescriptions， a standardized assessment should be conducted on patients from the aspects of their psychiatric condition and long-term potential risk factors， pharmacological treatment plans and other non-pharmacological therapies， physical illnesses. Additionally， healthcare providers should fulfill their obligation to inform patients or their family members. The comprehensive management of long-term prescription medications should be jointly established and improved by multiple departments， and the formulation of drug catalogs should avoid including drugs with potential social harm or medication risks while complying with policy requirements. Furthermore， measures such as adding special identifiers to long-term prescriptions， providing patients with reminders about （No.YGLX202537） prescription expiration， or offering online consultations can also effectively enhance the rationality of medication use under long-term prescriptions. Currently， the implementation of long-term prescriptions in psychiatry remains challenged by inconsistencies in prescription duration， incomplete coverage of diagnostic categories， poor patient adherence， and the risk of deviation in clinical assessments. In this regard， measures such as collaborating with multiple departments to strengthen long-term prescription information management， providing matching pharmaceutical services， ensuring the quality and rationality of long-term prescription implementation， and using modern methods to screen high-risk patients can be taken to improve patient medication compliance and safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwutang （HGWT） against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury （CIRI） based on bioinformatics and experimental validation. MethodsBiological informatics methods were used to screen for active components of HGWT and their targets. The GEO database was utilized to obtain CIRI-related differentially expressed genes （DEGs）， and platforms such as GeneCards were used to identify disease targets. Venn diagram analysis was conducted to identify overlapping targets， followed by protein-protein interaction （PPI）， gene ontology （GO）， and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment analysis， as well as immune infiltration and immune cell differential analysis. Core genes （Hub genes） were screened using LASSO regression and ROC curves， and molecular docking was used to validate the binding efficiency between the active components of the drug and the core targets. A rat CIRI model was established， with rats randomly divided into five groups （n=10）： Sham surgery group （Sham）， model group （MG）， and low-dose （LD，5.3 g·kg^-1）， medium-dose （MD，10.6 g·kg^-1）， and high-dose （HD，21.2 g·kg^-1） HGWT groups. From 3 days before modeling to 7 days after surgery， oral administration was performed daily： Sham and MG groups received physiological saline， while each drug group received the corresponding dose of HGWT. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， Nissl staining， and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling （TUNEL staining） were used to assess the repair effects of HGWT on neural damage. Western blot analysis was used to detect B-cell lymphoma-2 protein （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， phosphorylated STAT3 ［p-STAT3 （Tyr705）］， protein kinase B1 （Akt1）， and phosphorylated Akt1 ［p-Akt1 （Ser473）］， among other target proteins. ResultsAfter screening， 56 common target points of DEGs-disease-drug were obtained. GO and KEGG analyses indicated that HGWT primarily functions in pathways such as apoptosis， oxidative stress， and inflammatory responses. Immune infiltration analysis revealed a significant association between HGWT's anti-CIRI activity and immune cells such as Th17 cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells （MDSCs） （P0.01）. LASSO-ROC analysis identified Akt1， Caspase-3， glycogen synthase kinase-3β （GSK-3β）， and STAT3 as core genes. Molecular docking confirmed that Hub genes exhibit significant binding affinity with the active components of HGWT （binding energy ≤ -5 kJ·mol^-1）（1 cal≈4.186 J）. Animal experiment results showed that compared with the sham group， the MG group exhibited significant neuronal necrosis， nuclear condensation， and vacuolar degeneration in rat brains， with a significant decrease in Nissl body density （P0.01） and increased neuronal apoptosis in rat brains as indicated by TUNEL staining （P0.01）. Compared with the MG， the LD， MD， and HD groups showed reduced neuronal necrosis， nuclear condensation， and vacuolar degeneration in rat brain neurons， increased Nissl body density， and reduced apoptosis （P0.01）， with significant differences among the drug groups （P0.01）. Western blot results showed that compared with the sham group， the MG group had reduced Bcl-2 and p-Akt1 （P0.01） and increased Bax and p-STAT3 （P0.01）. Compared with the MG group， the drug groups showed increased Bcl-2 and p-Akt1 （P0.01） and decreased Bax and p-STAT3 （P0.01）. There were no significant changes in total Akt1 and STAT3 protein levels among the groups. ConclusionBased on network pharmacology and experimental verification， HGWT may exert its neuroprotective effects by regulating the phosphorylation levels of Akt1 and STAT3， thereby alleviating cell apoptosis， inflammatory responses， and oxidative stress in rat brain tissue following CIRI. This provides theoretical support for the clinical treatment of CIRI.

Objective:To analyze the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer in China from 1992 to 2021, and to explore the effects of age, period, and cohort on pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality.Methods:Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2021 database were used to analyze the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer in China from 1992 to 2021. The Joinpoint software was applied to analyze the time trends of standardized incidence and mortality rates, and to calculate the average annual percentage change. An age-period-cohort model was constructed to analyze the effects of age, period, and birth cohort on the trends of pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality. The disease burden of pancreatic cancer deaths attributed to risk factors such as hyperglycemia and smoking was analyzed.Results:In 2021, the incidence of pancreatic cancer in China was 8.34/100 000, and the mortality rate was 8.41/100 000, representing increases of 150.45% and 145.19%, respectively, compared to 1992 (3.33/100 000 and 3.43/100 000) . By sex, the incidence (9.93/100 000) and mortality (9.91/100 000) rates in males in 2021 were higher than those in females (6.68/100 000 and 6.83/100 000) . From 1992 to 2021, the standardized incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer in China showed upward trends, with average annual increases of 0.80% and 0.62%, respectively, both of which were statistically significant (both P<0.001) . Age effect results indicated a general increasing trend in pancreatic cancer incidence, with a steady rise in the 15-49 age group, a sharp increase after the age of 50, and a peak in the over 85 age group at 68.64/100 000. The mortality rate showed a slow increase in the 15-79 age group, with a marked rise and peak in the 80-84 age group at 196.51/100 000. Period effect results showed an overall upward trend in the period relative risk ( RR) for pancreatic cancer incidence, with the highest risk in 2017-2021 ( RR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.05-1.13, P=0.012) , compared to the reference period 2002-2006 ( RR=1) . The RR for pancreatic cancer mortality showed a fluctuating trend, with the highest risk in 2012-2016 ( RR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.07-2.38, P=0.021) , compared to the reference period 2002-2006 ( RR=1) . The results of cohort effect showed that the incidence and mortality risk of pancreatic cancer in China generally increased with the increase of years. With the 1952-1956 birth cohort as the reference cohort ( RR=1) , the incidence ( RR=1.18, 95% CI: 0.99-1.40, P=0.032) and mortality ( RR=1.63, 95% CI: 0.12-11.53, P=0.042) risk of pancreatic cancer were the highest in the 1987-1991 birth cohort, and showed decreasing trends after the 1992-1996 birth cohort. The proportion of pancreatic cancer deaths attributable to high blood glucose showed an increasing trend, while those attributable to smoking showed a decreasing trend. Conclusions:From 1992 to 2021, the standardized incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer in China have continued to rise, with males having higher incidence and mortality rates than females. Age, period, and cohort all significantly influence the trends in pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality. The trend in pancreatic cancer deaths attributable to high blood glucose is increasing.

Background/Aims: Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by hepatic steatosis. Ubiquitin-specific protease 29 (USP29) plays pivotal roles in hepatic ischemiareperfusion injury and hepatocellular carcinoma, but its role in MASLD remains unexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal the effects and underlying mechanisms of USP29 in MASLD progression. Methods: USP29 expression was assessed in liver samples from MASLD patients and mice. The role and molecular mechanism of USP29 in MASLD were assessed in high-fat diet-fed and high-fat/high-cholesterol diet-fed mice and palmitic acid and oleic acid treated hepatocytes. Results: USP29 protein levels were significantly reduced in mice and humans with MASLD. Hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis were significantly exacerbated by USP29 deletion and relieved by USP29 overexpression. Mechanistically, USP29 significantly activated the expression of genes related to fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) under metabolic stimulation, directly interacted with long-chain acyl-CoA synthase 5 (ACSL5) and repressed ACSL5 degradation by increasing ACSL5 K48-linked deubiquitination. Moreover, the effect of USP29 on hepatocyte lipid accumulation and MASLD was dependent on ACSL5. Conclusions USP29 functions as a novel negative regulator of MASLD by stabilizing ACSL5 to promote FAO. The activation of the USP29-ACSL5 axis may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for MASLD.

Late-life depression (LLD) is closely related to the aging process and is often accompanied by various somatic diseases, significantly affecting the quality of life in older adults. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) refers to multiple factors released by senescent cells, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and matrix metalloproteinases. In recent years, SASP has gained increasing attention due to its role in various physiological and pathological process by regulating the cellular microenvironment. This review summarizes the clinical research on SASP in LLD, explores its mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential, and aims to deepen the understanding of SASP in the pathogenesis of LLD and provide new insights for diagnosing and treating LLD.
