Objective: To explore the relationship between life skills, psychological resilience and subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide evidence for targeted adolescent mental health education. Methods: From September to November, 2025, a total of 5 831 primary and secondary school students from five cities (Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Urumqi) were selected by convenience sampling. The Adolescent Subjective Well being Scale, School based Adolescents Life Skills Scale, and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale were used for investigation. Data were analyzed using t-tests, one way ANOVA, and linear regression. Results: The total mean score of students subjective well being was (5.46± 0.91) ; the total mean score of life skills was (3.69±0.64); the total mean score of psychological resilience was (3.66±0.69). Statistically significant differences in subjective well being scores were found among students grouped by gender, grade, school stage, residential city, living with parents or living with siblings ( t/F =4.14, 53.92, 14.53, 49.99, 13.49, 2.18, all P <0.01). Stratified regression analyses were performed by gender (adjusting for school stage, residential city and living arrangement) and by school stage (adjusting for gender, residential city and living arrangement), the regression results indicated that life skills of boys, girls, primary school students and junior high school students( β =0.54, 0.53, 0.50, 0.57) and their psychological resilience ( β = 0.56 , 0.60, 0.56, 0.60) were positively associated with subjective well being (all P <0.01). Conclusions Life skills and psychological resilience may be important protective factors for subjective well being among primary and secondary school students. School based mental health education should emphasize life skills training and resilience building to promote students subjective well being.

Objective: To explore the association between parental subjective well-being and subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide evidence for promoting adolescent mental health from a family perspective. Methods: From September to November 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to recruit 4 612 students in grades 4-8 from 12 primary and secondary schools in five cities—Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Urumqi—along with their parents. Students completed the Adolescent Well being Survey Questionnaire, while parents completed the Parental Well being Survey Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using t-test, one way analysis of variance, multiple linear regression, Logistic regression, and stratified subgroup analyses. Results: The maximum score of the subjective well-being scale for primary and secondary school students was 301, with a total score of (224.07±46.63), representing 74.4% of the full score; the maximum score of the parental subjective well-being scale was 120, with a total score of (92.35±15.10), representing 77.0%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that parental subjective well-being was positively associated with students overall subjective well-being, positive affect, and satisfaction in each domain (friendship, family, school, environment, freedom, and academics), and negatively associated with negative affect ( β =0.45, 0.08, 0.06, 0.07, 0.05, 0.04, 0.05, 0.04, -0.05, all P <0.01). Logistic regression and stratified analysis showed that parental subjective well-being was positively associated with students high subjective well-being ( OR =1.03), and the association existed in subgroups of different gender, grade and family structure ( OR =1.02-1.04) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Parental subjective well-being is positively associated with students subjective well-being. Future interventions should incorporate an integrated strategy featuring family-school collaboration to promote adolescent well-being.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of mild hypothermia arch-clamping technique in the surgical treatment of DeBakey Type Ⅰ aortic dissection.Methods:From December 2019 to November 2023, a total of 97 patients with DeBakey type Ⅰ aortic dissection who underwent arch-clamping technique in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were prospectively enrolled. The patients were divided into mild hypothermia group and moderate hypothermia group according to the lowest rectal temperature during the circulatory arrest period. The perioperative data of the two groups were compared, and complex adverse outcomes consisting of 30-day death, stroke, paraplegia and CRRT were used as the primary endpoint. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of clinical adverse outcomes. Survival analysis was evaluated by the Kaplan- Meier method. Results:The overall incidence of complex adverse outcomes was 20.6%, 13.6% in the mild hypothermia group and 22.7% in the moderate hypothermia group( P=0.535), and the incidence of stroke was 4.6% and 6.7%( P=1.000), respectively. The cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic-clamping time in the mild hypothermia group were significantly shortened (147.5 min vs. 163.0 min, P=0.032; 89 min vs. 99 min, P=0.042). There was no significant difference in long-term survival and reintervention between the two groups(91.9% vs. 89.3%, P=0.87; 9.1% vs. 5.3%, P=0.13). Conclusion:Mild hypothermia arch-clamping technique is a safe and effective method for the treatment of DeBakey type Ⅰ aortic dissection, with satisfactory short-term and long-term efficacy.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the distribution characteristics of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) mutations and their enzyme activity in newborns patients with G6PD deficiency in Guilin region. METHODS: From July 2022 to July 2024, umbilical cord blood samples from 4 554 newborns in Guilin were analyzed for G6PD mutations using fluorescence PCR melting curve analysis. Enzyme activity was detected in 4 467 cases using the rate assay. RESULTS: Among 4 467 newborns who underwent G6PD activity testing, 162 newborns (3.63%) were identified as G6PD-deficient, including 142 males (6.04%) and 20 females (0.94%), the prevalence of G6PD deficiency was significantly higher in males than in females (P < 0.001). Genetic analysis of 4 554 newborns detected G6PD mutations in 410 cases (9%), including 171 males (7.13%) and 239 females (11.09%), with a significantly higher mutation detection rate in females than in males (P < 0.001). A total of nine single mutations and four compound heterozygous mutations were identified. The most common mutations were c.1388G>A (33.66%), c.1376G>T (23.66%) and c.95A>G (16.34%). Among newborns who underwent both enzyme activity and genetic mutation testing, males with G6PD mutations had significantly lower enzyme activity than that of females with G6PD mutations(P < 0.001). Specifically, among newborns carrying the mutations c.1388G>A, c.1376G>T, c.95A>G, c.1024C>T or c.871G>A, males consistently exhibited lower enzymatic activity than females with the same mutations (P < 0.001). Furthermore, in male G6PD-deficient newborns, the enzyme activity levels in those carrying c.1388G>A, c.1376G>T, c.95A>G, c.1024C>T, or c.871G>A were lower than those in both the control group and the c.519C>T group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study provides a comprehensive profile of G6PD deficiency incidence and mutation spectrum in the Guilin region. By analyzing enzyme activity and genetic mutation results, this study provides insights into potential intervention strategies and personalized management approaches for the prevention and treatment of neonatal G6PD deficiency in the region.

Objective To develop a static progressive ankle stretcher for the treatment of functional disorders caused by scar contracture of the Achilles tendon after burn,and to evaluate its application effect.Methods The static progressive ankle stretcher was composed of a plantar support section and a calf support section,which was mainly made of a 3.2 mm-thick medical low-temperature thermoplastic plate,a commercially available 1 mm-diameter steel wire rope,grooved wheels,ice fishing reels with a diameter of about 50 mm,curved folding hinges and a locking threader with a hole diameter of about 1.5 mm.Totally 49 patients with scar contracture after deep Ⅱ to Ⅲ-degree burns of the Achilles tendon admitted to some hospital from March 2021 to January 2023 were prospectively selected and divided into a conventional rehabilitation group(25 cases)and a combined rehabilitation group(24 cases)using a randomized numerical table method.The patients in the conventional rehabilitation group underwent routine scar care such as anti-scarring medication application at home,scar massage,resistance training,joint loosening training in the hospital and compression therapy with the customized compression stockings/pants at the rest of the time,the patients in the combined rehabilitation group were treated with the static progressive ankle stretcher besides the measures taken for the conventional group.The two groups were compared in terms of scarring,ankle function and active dorsiflexion mobility of the ankle joint before and 12 weeks after the treatment,balance and walking ability 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the treatment,adverse events during the treatment and patient satisfaction 12 weeks after the treatment.SPSS 23.0 statistical software was used for data analysis.Results In terms of scarring condition,ankle function and active dorsiflexion mobility of the ankle joint all the patients were improved 12 weeks after the treatment,and the ones in the combined rehabilitation group behaved better than the ones in the conventional group,with the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).The balance and walking ability 12 weeks after the treatment was better than that 4 weeks after the treatment in the two groups,and the combined rehabilitation group gained advantages over the conventional group in balance and walking ability,with the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).During the treatment no adverse events due to the static progressive ankle stretcher were found,such as muscle tissue strain,scarred skin rupture,instrument friction and pressure injury.The combined rehabilitation group had higher patient satisfaction than the conventional group 12 weeks after the treatment,with the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The static progressive ankle stretcher combined with the conventional rehabilitation treatment contributes to improving contracture scar conditions and joint mobility at the Achilles tendon area of the post-burn patients,which helps accelerate the recovery of ankle function after burns and enhance the balance and walking ability of the patients.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(10):54-59]

Objective To investigate the efficacy of Lishui Xiaozhong Granules combined with Conbercept for the treatment of diabetic macular edema(DME).Methods From December 2022 to June 2023,46 patients(46 eyes)with DME of spleen and kidney yang deficiency complicated with blood-stasis obstructing the eye collaterals syndrome admitted to Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the study objects.According to the principle of single-blind randomized controlled trial,the patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group by random number table method,with 23 cases(23 eyes)in each group.The control group was treated with intravitreal injection of Conbercept,and the treatment group was treated with oral use of Lishui Xiaozhong Granules on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted 3 months and then a follow-up for 6 months was conducted.Before and after treatment,the two groups were observed int the changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome score,best corrected visual acuity(BCVA,LogMAR),central macular thickness(CMT),mean vessel density(VD)of superficial capillary plexus(SCP)and deep capillary plexus(DCP)in macular area,and the amplitude density and the latency of P1 and N1 wave in the R1 ring of multifocal electroretinogram(mf-ERG).Results(1)After 1,3 and 6 month(s)of treatment,BVCA in the two groups was improved when compared with that at the previous observation time point(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group after 1,3 and 6 month(s)of treatment(P＜0.01).(2)After 1,3 and 6 month(s)of treatment,the CMT of the two groups was lowered as compared with that at the previous observation time point(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(3)After 6 months of treatment,SCP-VD and DCP-VD in the two groups showed no obvious changes when compared with those before treatment(P＞0.05),the differences between the two groups after treatment were no statistically significant,either(P＞0.05).(4)After 1,3 and 6 month(s)of treatment,the amplitude densities of P1 wave and N1 wave in the R1 ring of mf-ERG in the two groups were increased when compared with those at the previous observation time point(P＜0.05),and the latency of P1 wave and N1 wave was shortened when compared with that at the previous observation time point(P＜0.05),and the treatment group had stronger effect on increasing the amplitude densities and on shortening the latency than the control group(P＜0.01).(5)After 6 months of treatment,the scores of TCM syndromes in the treatment group were lowered(P＜0.05)while the scores in the control group showed no obvious changes as compared with those before treatment.The intergroup comparison showed that the decrease of TCM syndrome score in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion In the treatment of DME with spleen and kidney yang deficiency complicated with blood-stasis obstructing the eye collaterals syndrome,Lishui Xiaozhong Granules combined with Conbercept have no influence on improving the SCP-VD and DCP-VD,but the combined therapy exerts satisfactory efficacy on increasing BCVA and on improving macular oedema,retinal function in the macular area and systemic symptoms.

The current study aimed to clarify the roles of apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) and milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (Mfge8) in regulating myocardial lipid deposition and the regulatory relationship between them. The serum levels of ApoA5 and Mfge8 in obese and healthy people were compared, and the obesity mouse model induced by the high-fat diet (HFD) was established. In addition, primary cardiomyocytes were purified and identified from the hearts of suckling mice. The 0.8 mmol/L sodium palmitate treatment was used to establish the lipid deposition cardiomyocyte model in vitro. ApoA5-overexpressing adenovirus was used to observe its effects on cardiac function and lipids. The expressions of the fatty acid uptake-related molecules and Mfge8 on transcription or translation levels were detected. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to verify the interaction between ApoA5 and Mfge8 proteins. Immunofluorescence was used to observe the co-localization of Mfge8 protein with ApoA5 or lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2). Recombinant rMfge8 was added to cardiomyocytes to investigate the regulatory mechanism of ApoA5 on Mfge8. The results showed that participants in the simple obesity group had a significant decrease in serum ApoA5 levels (P < 0.05) and a significant increase in Mfge8 levels (P < 0.05) in comparison with the healthy control group. The adenovirus treatment successfully overexpressed ApoA5 in HFD-fed obese mice and palmitic acid-induced lipid deposition cardiomyocytes, respectively. ApoA5 reduced the weight of HFD-fed obese mice (P < 0.05), shortened left ventricular isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT), increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and significantly reduced plasma levels of triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol (CHOL) (P < 0.05). In myocardial tissue and cardiomyocytes, the overexpression of ApoA5 significantly reduced the deposition of TG (P < 0.05), transcription of fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) (P < 0.05), fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) (P < 0.05), and fatty acid transport protein (FATP) (P < 0.05), and protein expression of Mfge8 (P < 0.05), while the transcription levels of Mfge8 were not significantly altered (P > 0.05). In vitro, the Mfge8 protein was captured using ApoA5 as bait protein, indicating a direct interaction between them. Overexpression of ApoA5 led to an increase in co-localization of Mfge8 with ApoA5 or LAMP2 in cardiomyocytes under lipid deposition status. On this basis, exogenous added recombinant rMfge8 counteracted the improvement of lipid deposition in cardiomyocytes by ApoA5. The above results indicate that the overexpression of ApoA5 can reduce fatty acid uptake in myocardial cells under lipid deposition status by regulating the content and cellular localization of Mfge8 protein, thereby significantly reducing myocardial lipid deposition and improving cardiac diastolic and systolic function.

The molecular mechanism of verbascoside(OC1) in promoting acetylcholine(ACh) release in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease(AD) was studied. Adrenal pheochromocytoma cells(PC12) of rats induced by β-amyloid protein(1-42)(Aβ_(1-42)) were used as AD models in vitro and were divided into control group, model group(Aβ_(1-42) 10 μmol·L~(-1)), OC1 treatment group(2 and 10 μg·mL~(-1)). The effect of OC1 on phosphorylated proteins in AD models was analyzed by whole protein phosphorylation quantitative omics, and the selectivity of OC1 for calcium channel subtypes was virtually screened in combination with computer-aided drug design. The fluorescence probe Fluo-3/AM was used to detect Ca~(2+) concentration in cells. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the effects of OC1 on the expression of phosphorylated calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ(p-CaMKⅡ, Thr286) and synaptic vesicle-related proteins, and UPLC/Q Exactive MS was used to detect the effects of OC1 on ACh release in AD models. The effects of OC1 on acetylcholine esterase(AChE) activity in AD models were detected. The results showed that the differentially modified proteins in the model group and the OC1 treatment group were related to calcium channel activation at three levels: GO classification, KEGG pathway, and protein domain. The results of molecular docking revealed the dominant role of L-type calcium channels. Fluo-3/AM fluorescence intensity decreased under the presence of Ca~(2+) chelating agent ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid(EGTA), L-type calcium channel blocker verapamil, and N-type calcium channel blocker conotoxin, and the effect of verapamil was stronger than that of conotoxin. This confirmed that OC1 promoted extracellular Ca~(2+) influx mainly through its interaction with L-type calcium channel protein. In addition, proteomic analysis and Western blot results showed that the expression of p-CaMKⅡ and downstream vesicle-related proteins was up-regulated after OC1 treatment, indicating that OC1 acted on vesicle-related proteins by activating CaMKⅡ and participated in synaptic remodeling and transmitter release, thus affecting learning and memory. OC1 also decreased the activity of AChE and prolonged the action time of ACh in synaptic gaps.
