Objective: To explore the relationship between non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior and serum lipid levels as well as thyroid function among college students with depression. Methods: A total of 169 college students with depression in the psychiatry departments of tertiary hospitals (grade 3A and 3B) in Ningbo from December 2023 to April 2025 were selected. The Adolescent Self injury Scale (ASIS) was used to assess the presence of NSSI, and participants were accordingly divided into a NSSI group ( n =51) and a non NSSI group ( n =118). General demographic data (including gender, age, and family situation) were collected from both groups. Blood tests were performed to measure lipid profiles [triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)] and thyroid hormones [triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)]. Multivariate Logistic regression was employed to analyze risk factors for NSSI, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum lipid and thyroid hormone levels for NSSI occurrence in college students with depression. Results: The levels of TC, LDL-C, and TSH in the NSSI group were (4.02±0.73) mmol/L, (2.32±0.36) mmol/L, and (6.57±1.95) mU/L , which were significantly higher than those in the non NSSI group [(3.41±0.56) mmol/L, (2.00±0.27) mmol/L, and ( 4.48± 1.09) mU/L, respectively] ( t =5.32, 5.60, 7.20, all P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that college students from single parent/reconstituted families, those who had experienced school bullying, and those with higher levels of TC, LDL-C, and TSH had a significantly increased risk of engaging in NSSI ( OR =5.22, 6.12, 5.90, 83.64, 3.64, all P <0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of TC, LDL-C, and TSH had high diagnostic efficacy for predicting NSSI in college students with depression, with a sensitivity of 86.3% and a specificity of 94.9%. Conclusions NSSI behavior in college students with depression is associated with serum lipid levels and thyroid function. These biomarkers may serve as useful reference indicators for assessing the conditions of these patients.

By examining the records related to the Fengfu （GV 16） acupoint in BIAN Que Heart Book （《扁鹊心书》） compiled by the Song Dynasty physician DOU Cai， this study analyzed various aspects， including the differentiation of conditions treated with Fengfu （GV 16） acupoint， the theoretical foundation for selection of Fengfu （GV 16） acupoint， the application of needling manipulation， and the sensation of obtaining qi during acupuncture. The findings suggest that DOU Cai's approach to utilizing Fengfu （GV 16） acupoint differs from traditional methods， particularly emphasizing the effectiveness of achieving a sensation of heat and numbness. His unique techniques include transverse insertion at Fengfu （GV 16） acupoint and penetrated insertion to Fengchi （GB 20） and Yifeng （TE 17） acupoints. The records of Fengfu （GV 16） acupoint in BIAN Que Heart Book provide a valuable reference for its modern clinical application and further development.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which 2，3，5，4'-tetrahydroxyldiphenylethylene-2-O-glucoside （THSG） mitigates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion （CI/R） injury by regulating mitochondrial calcium overload and promoting mitophagy. MethodsSixty male SD rats were randomized into sham， model， SAS （40 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium- and high-dose （10， 20， 40 mg·kg^-1， respectively） THSG groups， with 10 rats in each group. The middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion （MCAO/R） model was established by the modified Longa suture method. An oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation （OGD/R） model was constructed in PC12 cells. Neurological deficits were assessed via Zea Longa scoring， and cerebral infarct volume was measured by 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining. Structural and functional changes of cortical neurons in MCAO/R rats were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin and Nissl staining. PC12 cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， and mitochondrial calcium levels were quantified by Rhod-2 AM. Immunofluorescence was used to detect co-localization of PTEN-induced kinase 1 （PINK1） and leucine zipper/EF-hand-containing transmembrane protein 1 （LETM1） in neurons. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was employed to observe mitochondrial morphology in neurons. Western blot was employed to analyze the expression of translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 （TOMM20）， autophagy-associated protein p62， microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 （LC3）， cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-9 （Caspase-9）， B-cell lymphoma 2-associated protein X （Bax）， and cytochrome C （Cyt C）. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group exhibited increased infarct volume （P<0.01） and neurological deficit scores （P<0.01）， neuronal structure was disrupted with reduced Nissl bodies. （P<0.01）， mitochondrial swelling/fragmentation， decreased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization （P<0.01）， upregulated protein levels of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ， TOMM20， Caspase-9， Bax， and Cyt C （P<0.01）， downregulated protein level of p62 （P<0.05）， weakened PC12 viability （P<0.01）， and elevated mitochondrial calcium level （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， THSG and SAS groups showed reduced infarct volumes （P<0.05，P<0.01） and neurological deficit scores （P<0.05，P<0.01）， mitigated mitochondrial damage， and increased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization （P<0.01）. Medium/high-dose THSG and SAS alleviated the neurological damage， increased Nissl bodies （P<0.05，P<0.01）， downregulated the protein levels of p62， TOMM20， Caspase-9， Bax， and Cyt C （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and elevated the LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ level （P<0.05，P<0.01）. High-dose THSG enhanced PC12 cell viability （P<0.01）， increased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization （P<0.01）， and reduced mitochondrial calcium （P<0.01）. ConclusionTHSG may exert the neuroprotective effect on CI/R injury by activating the PINK1-LETM1 signaling pathway， reducing the mitochondrial calcium overload， and promoting mitophagy.

Objective To explore the effects of Dushu pills on cognitive ability and mitochondrial dynamics related proteins in mouse model of Alzheimer's disease(AD)based on network pharmacology.Methods The corresponding targets of Dushu pills and its related targets with AD were predicted using TCMSP database.The intersection targets of Dushu pills and AD were obtained by Venny website.The protein interaction network and drug-disease-target network were mapped using String database and Cytoscape software,respectively.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed for intersection targets using David database.The mouse model of AD was established by injecting Aβ25-35 into bilateral ventricles.The learning and memory ability of the mice was detected by behavioral tests,the mitochondrial damage of neurons in the hippocampus was observed by transmission electron microscopy,and the expression of proteins related to mitochondrial dynamics was detected by Western blot.Results A total of 311 intersection targets related to drugs and diseases were screened out from the database.GO and KEGG analysis showed that the relevant targets were concentrated in mitochondria and other components,and concentrated in the pathways of ATP binding and positive regulation of MAPK activity.Compared with the normal group,the learning and memory ability of the model group was decreased(P<0.05),mitochondrial ridges appeared swelling and fracture(P<0.0001),decreased expression of MAPK,Mfn2 and OPA1 proteins in hippocampus(P<0.01),the expression of DRP1 protein increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the learning and memory ability of mice in the medium and high dose groups of Dushu pills was improved(P<0.05),mitochondrial damage was significantly improved(P<0.01),increased expression of MAPK,Mfn2 and OPA1 in the hippocampus(P<0.01),DRP1 protein expression decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion Dushu pills can reduce mitochondrial damage,maintain mitochondrial homeostasis,and improve the cognitive and memory ability of AD mice.

Objective:To explore the cut-off value of metastatic lymph node ratio (LNR) for stage N3 gastric cancer and construct a new TNM staging system to predict prognosis.Methods:Clinical data of 4 291 patients from Jan 2004 to Dec 2020 in the SEER database and 567 patients from Jan 2016 to Dec 2020 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University with stage N3 gastric cancer were collected. A new TNrM staging system and a nomogram model were constructed based on the optimal LNR cut-off value and compared with the 8th TNM staging model in terms of prognostic discrimination, prognostic prediction accuracy, and clinical usefulness.Results:The optimal cut-off value of LNR was 0.5. A TNrM staging system was constructed by combining the Nr stage with the T stage. Univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses showed that the TNrM staging system was a significant prognostic factor (all P<0.05). Based on the 8th TNM and TNrM staging system, two nomograms were constructed in the training set and externally validated in the validation set. Compared with the TNM staging model, the TNrM staging model had a larger C-index and area of time-dependent ROC curve(AUC) (training set: 3-year AUC: 66.5 vs. 74.4, 5-year AUC: 68.9 vs. 75.3; validation set: 3-year AUC: 62.3 vs. 73.1, 5-year AUC: 62.6 vs. 75.8), its overall survival prediction curves were closer to the ideal curve in the calibration curve, and its clinical net benefit was greater in the decision curves. Conclusions:Stage N3 gastric cancer patients with a metastatic lymph node ratio >0.5 have a poor prognosis. The TNrM staging nomogram model constructed based on the lymph node ratio has better prognostic discrimination ability and prediction accuracy and more clinical net benefits compared to the 8th edition of TNM staging nomogram model.

Objective:To evaluate the analgesic effect of intercostal muscle plane block of external oblique muscle in patients undergoing endoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:A total of 48 patients undergoing endoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy under elective general anesthesia in Nanjing First Hospital from February to July 2023 were prospectively selected and divided into two groups ( n=24) according to random number table method: abdominal external oblique intercostal muscle plane block combined with general anesthesia group (EG group) and general anesthesia group (G group). The EG group was blocked in the intercostal muscle plane of the external oblique muscle before general anesthesia induction, and 0.375% ropivacaine 20 ml was injected on both sides, respectively. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was performed in both groups after operation, and the pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was less than 4 points. When the VAS score was ≥4, 1 mg oxycodone was injected intravenously for relief and analgesia. VAS scores at 30 min (T 0), 6 h (T 1), 12 h(T 2), 24 h(T 3), 48 h(T 4) after extubation, intraoperative drug and fluid dosage, postoperative sleep quality, analgesic satisfaction score, remedial analgesia and the occurrence of adverse reactions were recorded. Results:The scores of rest and exercise VAS at T 0, T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4 in the EG group were significantly lower than those in the G group (all P<0.05). The dosage of norepinephrine, propofol, remifentanil and total fluid infusion in the EG group were significantly lower than those in the G group (all P<0.05). The sleep quality and analgesic satisfaction of the EG group were better than those of the G group (all P<0.05), the first time of PCIA compression after surgery was longer than that of the G group ( P<0.05), the number of effective compressions, the amount of oxycodone relief and analgesia, the proportion of nausea and vomiting, and the stay time of anesthesia intensive care unit (AICU) were lower than those of the G group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in total hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with general anesthesia alone, abdominal external oblique intercostal muscle plane block combined with general anesthesia in patients with endoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy has significant postoperative analgesia effect, which can not only reduce postoperative VAS score and opioid consumption, but also improve sleep quality and increase postoperative analgesia satisfaction. Ultrasound-guided intercostal muscle plane block of external oblique muscle can be used as a better analgesic method in endoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.
