Background Depressive moods among occupational population are prevalent, which seriously affect their mental-physical health and socioeconomic productivity. This has become an urgent public health concern. Objective To understand current situation of depressive mood among an occupational population aged 18 to 60 covering 120 cities of China, and to explore the relationship between work-family conflict and depressive mood as well as the role of life stress in the relationship, as to provide a scientific basis for developing measures to reduce depressive mood in the occupational population. Methods Using the data of the Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents in 2021, an occupational population aged 18 to 60 years was selected as study subjects. A total of 3785 subjects were included in the study. The Work-Family Conflict Scale, Subjective Life Stress Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-Depression Scale were used to assess the work-family conflict, life stress, and depressive mood of the subjects. Harman's single-factor method was used to evaluate common method bias in the survey data. One-way ANOVA was applied to test the difference in work-family conflict, life stress, and depressive mood among occupational population by demographic characteristics, and chi-square test was used to analyze the difference in reporting depressive mood. Partial correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between selected variables. Process plug-in was used to test potential mediating effect of life stress on work-family conflict and depressive emotion. Results The scores of work-family conflict, life stress, and depressive mood among the occupational population were 24.60±8.28, 9.28±3.78, and 5.43±5.30, respectively. The prevalence rates of depressive mood was 48.7% (1888/3875). The score of depressive mood among occupational population who never smoked was significantly higher than that of those who smoked (P<0.01). The partial correlation analysis showed that work-family conflict and life stress were positively correlated with depressive mood (r=0.472 and 0.447, P<0.001); work-family conflict was positively correlated with life stress (r=0.361, P<0.001). The mediation analysis results showed that work-family conflict positively associated with life stress (b=0.361, P<0.001); life stress positively associated with depressive mood (b=0.318, P<0.001); work-family conflict positively associated with depressive mood (b=0.357, P<0.001), and played a partial mediating role in the relationship between work-family conflict and depressive mood with an effect size of 0.115 (95%CI: 0.099, 0.130) that accounted for 24.36% of the total effect. Conclusion Work-family conflict may not only directly affect depressive mood among occupational population, but also indirectly affect depressive mood through a mediating effect of life stress.

Objective:To develop a self-locked DNAzyme nanoprobe-based fluorescence amplification strategy for wash-free and ultrasensitive detection of breast cancer-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEV).Method:A DNAzyme self-locked probe was designed to recognize the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) specifically expressed on breast cancer-derived sEVs. Upon binding to EpCAM, the DNAzyme-lock structure was opened, restoring the DNAzyme cleavage activity. The activated DNAzyme then cyclically cleaved the RNA site on the substrate strand. Fluorescently labeled substrate strands were used to detect sEVs at varying concentrations, and the detection limit and linear range were determined.Results:The DNAzyme self-locked probe successfully identified breast cancer-derived sEVs and generated a fluorescent signal through cyclic cleavage. The proposed method achieved wash-free detection of sEVs, with the fluorescence intensity showing a strong linear correlation with sEV concentration ( R2=0.98). The linear detection range was 1.0×10 2-1.0×1.0 7 particles/μl, with a detection limit of 59 particles/μl. Conclusion:This study established a wash-free and highly sensitive strategy for quantifying breast cancer-derived sEVs, which provides a promising technical approach for the early diagnosis of cancer.

Background Psychological disturbances such as work-family conflict and depressive mood are prevalent among occupational groups and are closely related to eating behavior. Therefore, investigating the influencing factors of eating behavior is of great significance for promoting the health behaviors of occupational populations. Objective To clarify the current situation of eating behavior among the occupational populations aged 18 to 60 years in China, and to explore the relationship between work-family conflict, depressive mood, and eating behavior, and to test the mediating role of depressive mood in the relationship. Methods The study used a data set containing occupational populations aged 18 to 60 years extracted from the 2021 Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents. The Work-Family Conflict Scale, the Chinese version of the Sakata Eating Behavior Scale Short Form, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-Depression Scale were used. Potential influencing factors of eating behavior of the occupational populations were evaluated by multiple linear regression. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationships between work-family conflict, depressive mood, and eating behavior, and the Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect of depressive mood on the relationship of work-family conflict and eating behavior. Results Among the occupational populations, the proportion of reporting high work-family conflict was 48.4%, and the proportion of reporting mild depression and above was 48.7%. The total score of eating behavior was (16.16±4.64), and the proportion of high abnormal eating behavior tendency was 39.1%. There were significant differences in eating behavior score among different age, educational level, marital status, number of offspring, occupation, smoking, and drinking groups (P<0.05). The partial correlation analysis showed that work-family conflict and depressive mood were positively correlated with abnormal eating behavior (r=0.367, 0.386, P<0.001); work-family conflict was positively correlated with depressive mood (r=0.466, P<0.001). The results of the multiple linear regression showed that depressive mood, work-family conflict, age, smoking, drinking, and education level were associated with eating behavior (P<0.05). The structural equation modeling indicated that work-family conflict positively associated with depressive mood (b=0.529, P<0.001), depressive mood positively associated with abnormal eating behavior (b=0.292, P<0.001), and work-family conflict positively associated with abnormal eating behavior (b=0.270, P<0.001). Depressive mood played a partial mediating role in the relationship between work-family conflict and eating behavior, and the effect value was 0.154 (95%CI: 0.132, 0.179) that accounted for 36.32% of the total effect. Conclusion Work-family conflict could directly affect the eating behavior among occupational populations, and also indirectly affect eating behavior through a mediating effect of depressive mood. Therefore, optimizing the allocation of tasks between work and family, providing psychological support in need, alleviating work-family conflict and depressive mood may improve the eating behavior and mental health of working populations.

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM), as a highly aggressive primary malignant tumor of the peritoneum, often leads to structural damage and functional impairment of female reproductive organs during its treatment course. This study presents a clinical case of an MPM patient who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), subsequently achieving successful live birth through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. A comprehensive review of relevant literature was conducted to analyze both the potential benefits and associated risks. While the possibility of successful pregnancy exists for MPM patients following combined CRS and HIPEC treatment, significant clinical risks during the gestational process cannot be overlooked. Current evidence remains limited, necessitating more robust clinical data to substantiate these findings.
