ObjectiveTo explore the coercive experience of involuntarily hospitalized adolescents with mental disorders during the admission process and hospitalization, providing references for formulating targeted nursing interventions. MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 involuntarily hospitalized adolescents with mental disorders selected from October to December 2023, and the themes were summarized and extracted by content analysis. ResultsA total of 3 themes and 10 sub-themes were extracted, which were used to elaborate the essential contents, causes, and improvement methods of coercive experience. These encompassed the multi-dimensional content of coercive experience (complex emotional experience, different physical sensations, and contradictory cognitive evaluation), the multi-faceted causes of coercive experience (insufficient personal preparation, inadequate parental communication, and strict medical management system), as well as the phased improvement of coercive experience (adequate communication before hospitalization, patient notification before coercive intervention, respecting for demands during coercive intervention, and comforting explanation after coercive intervention). ConclusionThe essential content of the coercive experience of involuntarily hospitalized adolescents with mental disorders is complex and has various causes, which require cooperation from multiple parties to improve. Therefore, parents should respect the expression of their children’s self-will, and medical staff should respect patients’ autonomy, establishing a protection-constrained doctor-patient relationship model and collaborating to reduce the use of coercive interventions, to improve the overall medical satisfaction of adolescents with mental disorders.

Objective:To investigate the dynamic changes of plasma high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and its correlation with functional outcome and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke (ALVOS).Methods:Patients with ALVOS admitted to the Department of Neurology, Zengcheng District, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from June 2021 to April 2023 were included retrospectively. Plasma HMGB1 before EVT and at 6, 24, and 48 hours after procedure was detected, and the dynamic changes of plasma HMGB1 were compared and analyzed. The primary endpoint was the functional outcome evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days of onset. A score of 0-2 was defined as good outcome and >2 was defined as poor outcome. The secondary endpoint was sICH, which was defined as the occurrence of hemorrhagic infarction after EVT and an increase of ≥4 in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score from baseline. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of HMGB1 for poor outcome and sICH. Results:A total of 73 patients with ALVOS received EVT were included. There were 54 males (74.0%), aged 62±12 years. The median time from onset to door was 90 minutes (interquartile range, 40-180 minutes), and the median time from onset to femoral artery puncture was 181 minutes (interquartile range, 140-280 minutes). Twenty-nine patients (39.7%) underwent bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). At 90 days after onset, 37 patients (50.7%) had poor outcome, and 12 (16.4%) died during follow-up. Eleven patients (15.1%) developed sICH. After EVT, plasma HMGB1 showed a temporal increase, reaching its peak at 48 hours (median, 102.57 μg/L). Subgroup analysis showed that HMGB1 in the bridging IVT group at 6 hours ( P<0.05) and 24 hours ( P<0.05) after procedure were significantly higher than that at baseline. The non-bridging IVT group showed a significant increase at 6 hours after procedure ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in HMGB1 between the bridging IVT group and the non-bridging IVT group at the same time point. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, ischemic heart disease, triglycerides, uric acid, baseline NIHSS score, and sICH, the third quartile (adjusted odds ratio 7.087, 95% confidence interval 1.243-40.419; P=0.027) and fourth quartile (adjusted odds ratio 7.544, 95% confidence interval 1.260-45.172; P=0.027) of plasma HMGB1 were independent risk factors for poor outcome at 6 hours after procedure. The postoperative plasma HMGB1 in the sICH group was significantly higher than that in the non-sICH group ( P<0.05), but multivariate analysis showed no independent correlation between plasma HMGB1 and sICH. Conclusion:The elevation of plasma HMGB1 in patients with ALVOS at 6 hours after EVT is independently associated with poor outcome at 90 days after onset, but not with sICH.

Immunotherapy has been widely used in cancer treatment in recent years and functions by stimulating the immune system to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy (RT) uses radiation to induce DNA damage and kill tumor cells. However, this activates the body's immune system, promoting the release of tumor-related antigens from inactive dendritic cells, which stimulates the recurrence and metastasis of tumors in immune system tissues. The combination of RT and immunotherapy has been increasingly evaluated in recent years, with studies confirming the synergistic effect of the two antitumor therapies. Particularly, the combination of RT by dose adjustment with different immunotherapies has positive implications on antitumor immunity as well as disease prognosis compared with respective monotherapies. This review summarizes the current research status, progress, and prospects of RT combined with immunotherapy in cancer treatment. It additionally discusses the prevalent concerns regarding the dose, time window, and toxicity of this combination therapy.

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the changes in blood levels of calcium and bone metabolism biochemical markers in patients with primary osteoporosis receiving treatment with denosumab.
METHODS:
Seventy-three patients with primary osteoporosis treated in our Department between December, 2021 and December 2023 were enrolled. All the patients were treated with calcium supplements, vitamin D and calcitriol in addition to regular denosumab treatment every 6 months. Blood calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin (OC), type I procollagen amino-terminal propeptide (PINP), and type I collagen carboxy-terminal telopeptide β special sequence (β‑CTX) data before and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the first treatment were collected from each patient.
RESULTS:
Three months after the first denosumab treatment, the bone turnover markers (BTMs) OC, PINP, and β-CTX were significantly decreased compared to their baseline levels by 39.5% (P<0.001), 56.2% (P<0.001), and 81.8% (P<0.001), respectively. At 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment, OC, PINP, and β-CTX remained significantly lower than their baseline levels (P<0.001). Blood calcium level was decreased (P<0.05) and PTH level increased (P<0.05) significantly in these patients at months of denosumab treatment, but their levels were comparable to the baseline levels at 6, 9, and 12 months of the treatment (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Denosumab can suppress BTMs and has a good therapeutic effect in patients with primary osteoporosis, but reduction of blood calcium and elevation of PTH levels can occur during the first 3 months in spite of calcium supplementation. Blood calcium and PTH levels can recover the baseline levels as the treatment extended, suggesting the importance of monitoring blood calcium and PTH levels during denosumab treatment.

Abstract
The global prevalence of non-suicidal self-harm (NSSI) among adolescents is becoming increasingly severe. Traditional mental health services are struggling to meet the growing social demand due to limited resource allocation and service accessibility. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology provides a new technological path. The article systematically reviews the research progress of AI technology in adolescent NSSI, demonstrating key technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and deep learning in predicting NSSI risk prediction, emotion recognition and online intervention for adolescents. However, challenges remain, including algorithm bias, data privacy protection, model interpretability and ethical decision making. Future research should focus on multi disciplinary collaborative cooperation based on artificial intelligence to build a safe, effective and sustainable digital psychological intervention system, so as to provide innovative strategies and technical support for the early warning and intervention of NSSI behavior in adolescents.

Objective:To explore surgical strategies for acute type A aortic dissection involving severe stenosis or occlusion of the carotid arteries.Methods:From January 2019 to March 2023, a total of 29 patients with acute type A aortic dissection involving severe stenosis or occlusion of the carotid arteries were included in the study. All patients underwent emergency surgery, with simultaneous intraoperative neck incision and replacement of the unilateral or bilateral carotid arteries. Among them, there were 19 males with a mean age of(49.57±2.14)years old. Preoperative brain CT indicated abnormalities in 15 cases, transient neurological dysfunction occurred in 5 cases, and syncope in 1 case.Results:Procedures included ascending aorta replacement in 10 cases, Bentall procedure in 18 cases, and Wheat procedure in 1 case. Arch operations involved partial arch replacement in 3 cases and Sun’s procedure in 26 cases. Simple left carotid artery replacement was performed in 6 cases, simple right carotid artery replacement in 19 cases, and bilateral carotid artery replacement in 4 cases. Cerebral protection measures during circulatory arrest included unilateral cerebral perfusion in 24 cases and bilateral cerebral perfusion in 5 cases. The mean operation time was(7. 6±0. 3) h, with a mean cardiopulmonary bypass time of(196. 3±8. 7) min, aortic cross-clamp time of(113.2±6.4) min, ischemic time 12(5-16.5) min, and lowest temperature of(26.3±0.4)°C. One patient experienced in-hospital mortality. Postoperatively, new neurological dysfunction occurred in 2 cases, including 1 case with coma and permanent neurological deficit.Conclusion:In patients with acute type A aortic dissection involving severe stenosis or occlusion of the carotid arteries, simultaneous carotid artery replacement via neck incision during aortic surgery is a safe and reliable surgical approach.

Objective:To investigate the application value of a multi-dimensional digital moni-toring platform for perioperative period in gastric cancer patients.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrec-tomy in The Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from July 2022 to January 2024 were collected. There were 35 males and 15 females, aged (64±12)years. All patients followed the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery, and the multi-dimensional digital monitoring platform based on wearable monitoring equipment was used to implement perioperative management measures. Observation indicators: (1) results of heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring; (2) results of blood glucose and blood oxygen monitoring; (3) results of exercise and sleep monitoring; (4) results of body composition monitoring. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(IQR). Repeated measurement data were analyzed using the repeated ANOVA. Measurement data with skewed distri-bution were transformed to normal distribution by SPSS transformation function before testing. For comparison between pre- and postoperation, paired sample t test was used for measurement data with normal distribution, and nonparametric Wilcoxon signed rank sum test was used for measure-ment data with skewed distribution. Results:(1) Results of HRV monitoring. From preoperation to the third day after surgery, the standard deviation normal to normal heart beat of 50 patients was changed from(103±26)ms to(101±36)ms, the mean of the standard deviations of normal to normal heart beat calculated per 5 min segment was changed from (45±16)ms to(33±12)ms, the number of pairs of adjacent NN intervals differing by more than 50 ms in the entire recording was changed from 6.02%(4.96%) to 5.79%(4.20%), the low frequency power was changed from 376.78(468.96)ms 2 to 742.79(525.20)ms 2, the high frequency power was changed from 273.61(273.58)ms 2 to 397.48(164.87)ms 2, the ratio of low frequency power to high frequency power was changed from 1.6±0.5 to 1.6±0.6, showing significant differences in above indicators before and after operation ( F=34.43, 26.15, 24.58, 5.51, 6.11, 6.02, P<0.05). (2) Results of blood glucose and blood oxygen monitoring. From preoperation to the third day after surgery, the blood glucose of 50 patients was changed from 6.75(2.05)mmol/L to 6.90(2.63)mmol/L, showng a significant difference before and after operation ( F=45.84, P<0.05). The blood oxygen was changed from 97.00%(5.00%) to 97.50%(3.00%), showing no significant difference before and after operation ( F=2.25, P>0.05). (3) Results of exercise and sleep monitoring. From preoperation to the third day after surgery, the number of steps fo 50 pati-ents was changed from 3 043(1 224) to 1 473(767), sleep duration was changed from(8.2±1.1)hours to(7.3±0.8)hours, sleep score was changed from 80±10 to 78±5,showing significant differences in above indicators before and after operation ( F=716.46, 29.02, 47.32, P<0.05).(4) Results of body composition monitoring. The body weight of 50 patients was changed from (63±8)kg to(61±8)kg before and after operation, body fat rate was changed from 24%±8% to 22%±9%, muscle mass was changed from 43 (12)kg to 41(17)kg, body mass index was changed from (23.0±2.6)kg/m 2 to(22.1±2.5)kg/m 2, showing significant differences in above indicators before and after operation ( t=8.19, 3.00, Z=-2.78, t=7.34, P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in basal metabolic indicators from (1 390±134)kcal to (1 379±139)kcal before and after operation ( t=1.02, P>0.05). Conclusion:The multi-dimensional digital monitoring platform for preoperative period can accurately monitor the perioperative stress level and evaluate the postoperative recovery of gastric cancer patients, which can present the visual results.
