Objective: To investigate the association between the physical fitness index (PFI) and symptoms of depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms among college students, providing a reference for mental health interventions. Methods: From June to September 2025, combined convenience and cluster random sampling approach was used to administer questionnaire surveys and perform physical fitness tests on 2 712 college students from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 Items (DASS-21) was used to assess mental health status. Chi square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to determine the associations between the PFI and the PFI component indicators with depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms. Results: The prevalence of depressive, anxiety and stress among college students were 24.26%, 33.22% and 13.68%, respectively. Statistically significant differences in the prevalence of these symptoms were detected across groups differing in sleep quality, physical activity, weekly breakfast frequency, and history of low back or neck pain ( χ 2=9.33-151.83, all P <0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, Logistic regression revealed that the moderate and high PFI groups had significantly reduced risks of depressive and anxiety compared to the low PFI group ( OR =0.73, 0.63; 0.61, 0.72, all P <0.05). Poor speed (50 m run) and lower body strength (standing long jump) emerged as common risk factors affecting anxiety and depressive symptoms in both male and female college students (all P <0.05). Increased muscle strength (sit up for 1 min) in female students reduced the risk of depressive ( OR =0.81), anxiety ( OR =0.85), and stress symptoms ( OR =0.79) (all P <0.05). Enhanced lung capacity in male students decreased the risk of depressive ( OR =0.84) and anxiety symptoms ( OR =0.85) (both P <0.05). Conclusions The PFI is negatively correlated with depressive and anxiety symptoms among college students with notable gender differences. Insufficient speed and lower body explosive power represent common risk factors for mental health among male and female college students.

Sepsis constitutes one of the principal causes of death globally, and the mortality rate of patients complicated with sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) surges by over 50%. Early identification of patients with sepsis, particularly SIC, and implementing clinical intervention are vital measures to reduce the mortality. In recent years, biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of SIC have emerged rapidly. Among classical myocardial injury biomarkers, cardiac troponin (cTn), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and soluble growth stimulation gene 2 protein (sST2) have predictive value for the prognosis of SIC. Meanwhile, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (h-FABP) possess relatively high value in diagnosis. Moreover, plasma metabolites, microRNA (miRNA), as well as recently identified markers related to sepsis or cardiovascular diseases also demonstrate outstanding predictive value in both the diagnosis and prognosis of SIC. For instance, exosomal miR-150-5p, blood miR-155, blood miR-378a-3p, blood miR-21-3p, blood miR-233, blood miR-23b, blood miR-135, lipocalin (LCN), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21), and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) show varying degrees of predictive value when it comes to diagnosing SIC. S100A8/A9 protein, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, angiotensinogen II (Ang II) and lactoferrin are correlated with the prognosis of SIC. Meanwhile, it has been discovered that the combination of multiple biomarkers outperforms a single biomarker, and certain combinations exhibit superior diagnostic performance. However, most of these studies use single-center clinical data, which has certain limitations and still calls for more high-quality evidence support. Therefore, identifying biomarker combinations that are supported by high-quality evidence, have bedside application potential, and possess high sensitivity and specificity is of crucial importance for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of SIC. This review is carried out on the current articles that report biomarkers with predictive value and the diagnosis and prediction of multiple biomarkers in combination, in the hope of continuously optimizing the diagnostic strategy for the specific identification of early SIC.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Chronic migraine is a common episodic brain dysfunction disorder, which often progresses from migraine and is frequently accompanied by sleep disorders, anxiety, depression or obesity. Extensive connections exist between the hypothalamus and other components of the central nervous system; through integrating pain signals, neural conduction and inflammatory pathways, the hypothalamus becomes an important hub for migraine chronicization. This review, combined with clinical imaging evidence, analyzes the pathogenic mechanisms of chronic migraine and its complications from perspective of the hypothalamus as the higher neural center, so as to provide useful references for prevention and treatment of chronic migraine.

OBJECTIVE To compare the short-term efficacy of autologous frozen tragus perichondrium and fresh perichondrium in repairing tympanic membrane perforations,and to explore the clinical application value of autologous frozen tragus perichondrium.METHODS Twenty-five patients with bilateral tympanic membrane perforations from March 2021 to October 2023 were selected,including 7 males and 18 females.Bilateral tympanoplasty was completed in stages.The initial operation was set as the control group,in which the ventral perichondrium of the tragus was used for tympanoplasty,and the dorsal perichondrium of the tragus was reserved and stored at-80℃ultra-low temperature in a sterile container.The second operation was set as the observation group,in which the thawed frozen perichondrium was used for contralateral tympanoplasty.The differences in the healing rate of tympanic membrane,postoperative hearing,operation time and surgical bleeding volume were compared between the two groups.RESULTS All patients were followed up for three months.The success rate of tympanic membrane healing in the observation group was 96%(24/25),and that in the control group was 92%(23/25).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ2=0.36,P>0.05).The operation time and surgical bleeding volume of patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group[(48.64±4.64)min vs.(67.92±5.69)min,(5.32±1.54)ml vs.(9.65±1.73)ml],and the differences were statistically significant(t=13.93,t=12.09,P all<0.05).The postoperative air conduction hearing thresholds and air-bone conduction gap of the two groups of patients were lower than those before operation(all P<0.05).There was no difference in air conduction hearing threshold,bone conduction hearing threshold and air-bone conduction difference between the groups(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION The application of autologous frozen tragus perichondrium has effectively shortened the operation time of the contralateral ear,avoided the trauma caused by taking materials again,and has the characteristics of minimally invasive and high efficiency.The method is feasible and the curative effect is accurate.

OBJECTIVE To conduct a literature review of one case of follicular lymphoma complicated with iliac bone Cryptococcus neoformans infection so as to raise the understanding of such pathogen in the field of HIV-negative Hodgkin's/non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.METHODS The clinical data were collected from one case of follicular lymphoma patient complicated with C.neoformans infection who was treated in Xinrui Hospital of Xin-wu District,Wuxi City on Feb.24,2023 and retrospectively analyzed.All of relevant literatures regarding to the subject were retrieved in Pubmed,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases,and the clinical data of the patients with HIV-negative Hodgkin's/non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with C.neoformans infection were screened out and summa-rized.RESULTS The case was a 28-year-old male and had the underlying disease of follicular lymphoma.The C.neoformans was detected by iliac bone histopathology and metagenome next generation sequencing(mNGS).The condition of the patient improved after the treatment with amphotericin B cholesterol sulphate com-pound and fluconazole.A total of 28 patients,with this case included,were involved in the literature review,23 of whom were male,and 5 were female,and the age ranged between 16 and 79 years old.With respect to major in-fection sites,there were 15(53.57％)cases of cerebral infection,9(32.14％)cases of blood infections,7(25.00％)cases of pulmonary infection,4(14.285％)cases of skin infections,2(7.14％)cases of muscle tis-sue infections,2(7.14％)cases of pleural effusion infections,2(7.14％)cases of bone infections and 1(3.57％)case of bone marrow infection.Totally 11 patients had disseminated Cryptococcus infection,accounting for 39.28％.CONCLUSIONS The C.neoformans infection is seldom detected in the patients with HIV-negative Hodgkin's/non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.The brain is the major infection site with the high probability of dissemina-ted infection.It is necessary for the hospital to deepen the understanding of the pathogen in the field of HIV-negative Hodgkin's/non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
