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.

ObjectiveTo identify protein biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） through an integrative multi-omics analysis. MethodsLarge-scale plasma protein quantitative trait locus data were integrated with MAFLD genome-wide association study data， and a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization analysis was performed. Summary data-based Mendelian Randomization （SMR）/heterogeneity in dependent instruments （HEIDI） test and colocalization analysis were used to assess significant proteins. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of continuous data with homogeneity of variance between two groups， and the Welch-corrected t-test was used for comparison of continuous data with heterogeneity of variance. The transcriptomic validation results were compared with the Mendelian randomization results to evaluate the changing trends of gene expression， and boxplots were used to display the expression distribution of candidate genes between groups. ResultsAmong 7 130 proteins analyzed， 40 showed a causal relationship with MAFLD， among which 26 increased the risk of MAFLD and 14 exerted a protective effect against MAFLD （FDR<0.05）. Nine proteins were supported by SMR/HEIDI （P_SMR<0.05， P_HEIDI>0.05）， and 14 showed a strong colocalization signal （PPH₄>0.9）. The transcriptomic analysis identified 5 differentially expressed proteins （all P<0.05）， i.e.， adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation factor-like GTPase 2， insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2， casein kinase 1 delta （CSNK1D）， leucine-rich repeat neuronal 1， and moesin （MSN）. In vitro validation showed upregulated expression levels of MSN （1.612±0.346 vs 0.569±0.077， P<0.05）， 14-3-3 protein theta （YWHAQ） （1.267±0.126 vs 0.313±0.029， P<0.05）， and CSNK1D （0.871±0.025 vs 0.431±0.080， P<0.05） and a downregulated expression level of histone deacetylase 8 （0.637±0.059 vs 1.097±0.260， P<0.05） in the MAFLD cell model. Functional annotation showed that CSNK1D participated in circadian and metabolic regulation， YWHAQ modulated the Hippo pathway and lipid signal transduction， and MSN was associated with cytoskeletal remodeling and fibrogenic responses. ConclusionThe integrative proteogenomic analysis in this study shows that CSNK1D， YWHAQ， and MSN may be key mediators in the pathogenesis of MAFLD. These proteins have the potential to serve as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets， providing new directions for research on disease mechanisms and the development of intervention strategies.

Compared to before treatment, R, PTA, troponin and creatine kinase increased in both groups after treatment [control group:(51±4) s vs. (43±3) s, (98±15)% vs. (95±12)%, (0.624±0.085) μg/L vs. (0.040±0.005) μg/L, (711±50) U/L vs. (96±11) U/L, (60±7) U/L vs. (22±4) U/L, t values were -17.92、-2.13、-104.63、-165.15、-57.43, respectively, all P<0.001; gelatin group: (51±4) s vs. (42±3) s, (100±16)% vs. (94±13)%, (0.631±0.113) μg/L vs. (0.041±0.004) μg/L, (717±52) U/L vs.(97±11) U/L, (62±7) U/L vs.(24±4) U/L, t values were -19.79、-3.09、-81.31、-157.70、-54.67, respectively, all P<0.001], while MA, MAf, FLEV, platelet count, PT and hemoglobin decreased [control group: (50±4) mmHg vs. (57±5) mmHg、(5.5±0.9) mmHg vs. (13.8±1.3) mmHg、(1.58±0.22) g/L vs.(2.64±0.31) g/L、(217±21)×10 9/L vs. (275±25)×10 9/L、(13.3±0.5) s vs.(14.7±0.8) s、(116±12) g/L vs.(127±17) g/L, t values were 14.79、61.26、32.25、20.58、17.21、6.09,respectively, all P<0.001; gelato group: (49±3) mmHg vs. (57±5) mmHg、(5.7±0.8) mmHg vs. (14.0±1.4) mmHg、(1.62±0.27) g/L vs.(2.59±0.26) g/L、(214±20)×10 9/L vs.(273±23)×10 9/L、(13.4±0.5) s vs.(14.7±0.8) s、(114±12) g/L vs.(128±17) g/L, t values were 16.34、62.05、29.51、22.77、14.91、7.41, respectively, all P<0.001], but the differences between groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The difference of albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and creatinine before and after treatment were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusion:4% succinylated gelatin does not increase the risk of coagulation dysfunction during perioperative period in children with CCHD. It has small influence on liver-kidney function and has high safety.

Objective To identify risk factors associated with lymphatic leakage after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(LRP)and to develop a machine learning-based nomogram for predicting such outcomes to support clinical prevention strategies.Methods We retrospectively analyzed perioperative data from 248 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer between January 2020 and January 2024.Independent risk factors were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.A predictive model was developed,and its diagnostic performance was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Five-fold cross-validation was performed to evaluate the model's generalizability.A nomogram was subsequently constructed to facilitate individualized risk quantification.Results Among the 248 patients,89(35.9%)developed lymphatic leakage,while 159(64.1%)did not.Independent risk factors for lymphatic leakage included intraopera-tive lymph node dissection(OR=5.415,95%CI:2.167～13.532,P<0.001),intraoperative plasma transfusion(OR=2.952,95%CI:1.524～5.718,P=0.001),and postoperative fasting duration of≥2 days(OR=1.412,95%CI:1.089～1.829,P=0.009).The predictive model showed good discrimination and calibration(AUC=0.711,95%CI:0.647～0.776,P<0.001;sensitivity:0.764;specificity:0.597).Model robustness was confirmed through five-fold cross-validation(training set AUC=0.822;test set AUC=0.829).The nomogram provided a clinically useful tool for quantifying individual risk of lymphatic leakage.Conclusions Intraoperative lymph node dissection,plasma transfusion,and postoperative fasting lasting≥2 days are independent risk factors for lymphatic leakage following radical prostatectomy.The validated predictive model demonstrates favorable clinical utility.

Objective:To preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of a domestically developed bilateral interventional ultrasound renal denervation (RDN) system in patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite antihypertensive medication.Methods:A multicenter, single-arm trial was conducted. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (≥2 antihypertensive drugs) were enrolled from April 2023 to April 2024 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. RDN was performed using the UltraCure? bilateral interventional ultrasound system via femoral or brachial artery access. Multi-segmental "quadrant-based" ablation was performed in bilateral main renal arteries and branches/accessory arteries (diameter≥4 mm). Primary endpoints were changes in office systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 24-hour daytime SBP at 2-and 6-months post-procedure. The primary safety endpoints included the incidence of major adverse events, device-related adverse events, and puncture site complications.Results:Ten patients, mean aged 47.1 years, including 9 male, successfully completed RDN. At 2 and 6 months post-procedure, office SBP decreased by (19.7±15.2) mmHg ( P=0.002, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and (13.8±13.9) mmHg ( P=0.013) from baseline, while the 24-hour daytime SBP decreased by (13.4±10.6) mmHg ( P=0.004) and (11.2±9.2) mmHg ( P=0.004). Apart from one case of a limited distal renal artery dissection, no other serious device/procedure-related adverse events were observed. At 6-month follow-up, the estimated glomerular filtration rate remained stable ((85.3±18.3) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 vs. (82.3±19.2) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, P=0.41). No renal artery stenosis was detected. Conclusions:The domestic interventional ultrasound RDN system could effectively reduce office and ambulatory blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, demonstrating a favorable safety profile. Long-term efficacy requires confirmation through large-scale randomized controlled trials.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between sarcopenic obesity(SO), defined by various obesity indicators, and mortality risk in older adults based on a prospective cohort from multiple nursing homes.Methods:Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the 2019 consensus of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia.Obesity was defined using six different indicators: waist circumference(WC), waist-hip ratio(WHR), waist-height ratio(WHTR), body mass index(BMI), visceral fat area(VFA), and percentage of body fat(PBF).A prospective cohort of adults aged 60 and above was established across 15 nursing homes in Zigong City, with annual follow-ups on survival status conducted over two consecutive years.Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to analyze the association between SO, defined by different obesity indicators, and mortality risk, calculating hazard ratios( HR)and their 95% confidence intervals( CI). Results:A total of 695 older adults were included in the study, of whom 67.1% were male.During the 2-year follow-up period, 88 participants died.The prevalence of SO as defined by WC, WHR, WHTR, BMI, VFA, PBF was found to be 17.6%, 30.1%, 48.9%, 3.0%, 28.3%, and 58.7%, respectively.When SO was defined using WC, WHR, WHTR, BMI, and VFA, there was no statistically significant difference in mortality rates between the SO and non-SO groups.However, when defined by PBF, the SO group exhibited a significantly higher mortality rate compared to the non-SO group(16.9% vs.6.6%, P<0.01).Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that, compared to the non-SO group, the SO group defined by PBF had a significantly increased mortality risk( HR=2.81, 95% CI: 1.67-4.73, P<0.001).After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the mortality risk for the SO group remained significantly higher than that of the non-SO group( HR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.14-3.38, P=0.015). Conclusions:The prevalence of SO varies significantly across different obesity indicators.SO defined by PBF is significantly associated with mortality risk in nursing home residents.This study provides new evidence for further optimizing the diagnostic criteria for SO in this population.

[Objective]To investigate the dynamic expression profiles and potential regulatory mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)in male reproductive system aging.[Methods]A naturally aging C57BL/6 mouse model was used and 4 mice were selected each at 3,15,and 21 months of age.RNA was extracted from seven regions of the male reproductive tract(testis,efferent duct,initial segment of epididymis,caput epididymis,corpus epididymis,cauda epididymis,and vas deferens),followed by RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.[Results]Region-specific dynamic expression profiles of lncRNAs were constructed in the testis,epididymis(efferent duct,initial segment,caput,corpus,and cauda),and vas deferens of male mice.Combined with gene functional enrichment analysis,the functional associations of lncRNAs were elucidated in reproductive system aging.The differentially expressed lncRNAs in the aging testis were primarily involved in hormone biosynthesis and extracellular matrix organization,while those in the initial segment of the epididymis were closely related to cell recognition and epithelial cell migration.A comprehensive lncRNA expression atlas associated with male reproductive aging was established.[Conclusion]LncRNAs may participate in male reproductive aging through the regulation of the reproductive microenvironment,which provides key molecular targets and a research foundation for understanding age-related fertility decline.
