The process of diabetic wound healing is highly complex, and the persistence of non-healing wounds is closely associated with sustained oxidative stress in the body . Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) demonstrates unique therapeutic advantages in promoting diabetic wound repair by modulating oxidative stress through multiple targets and pathways. This article presents a systematic review of the mechanism of TCM regulating oxidative stress to promote diabetic wound healing. It has been found that TCM monomers (such as rutin, baicalin, lonicerin, and curcumin), extracts (including aqueous extract of Gynura divaricata , extract of Polygonatum kingianum , extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves, etc), and compound formulations (such as Badu shengji powder, Danggui sini decoction, Compound ANBP, etc) can effectively alleviate oxidative stress-induced damage in diabetic wounds by modulating related signaling pathways, including nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2, nuclear factor κB,advanced glycation end products (AGEs)/receptors of AGEs, and silencing information regulatory factor 1. The underlying mechanisms are mainly manifested as: activating the antioxidant defense system, inhibiting inflammatory response, and improving mitochondrial function, thereby synergistically promoting wound healing.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine-scalp nerve block (SNB) combined with general anesthesia in the patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) undergoing craniotomy.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, 74 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients of either sex with acute TBI, aged 30-78 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, underwent craniotomy for hematoma evacuation combined with decompressive craniectomy at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Kunshan from January to December 2024, of the Glasgow Coma Scale score 8-12, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=37 each) using a random number table method: dexmedetomidine combined with ultrasound-guided SNB group (DS group) and ultrasound-guided SNB group (S group). Before anesthesia, dexmedetomidine was infused as a loading dose of 1 μg/kg over 10 min followed by an infusion of 0.3 μg·kg -1·h -1 until the end of operation. Ultrasound-guided SNB was performed after completion of intubation in both groups. The consumption of intraoperative fentanyl, propofol and remifentanil and the usage of vasoactive drugs were recorded. Before surgery (T 0), at 1 h after the start of surgery (T 1) and at the end of surgery (T 2), blood samples from the jugular bulbar and radial artery were collected, the jugular venous oxygen saturation was recorded, the arteriovenous oxygen content and cerebral oxygen uptake rate were calculated, and the occurrence of postoperative complications was also recorded. Results:Compared with group S, the consumption of fentanyl, propofol and remifentanil was significantly reduced, the usage rate of vasoactive drugs was decreased, the arteriovenous oxygen content and cerebral oxygen uptake rate were decreased at T 1 and T 2, the jugular venous oxygen saturation was increased, and the incidence of postoperative agitation was decreased in group DS ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Dexmedetomidine-SNB combined with general anesthesia can optimize the analgesic effect, improve cerebral oxygen supply and demand, reduce the occurrence of postoperative agitation when used in patients with acute TBI undergoing craniotomy.

Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is a rare, recurrent-remitting sleep disorder characterized by periodic hypersomnia, hyperphagia, and hypersexuality, accompanied by cognitive dysfunction, perceptual disturbances, mood changes, or psychiatric abnormalities. Patients typically experience recurrent episodes, with hypersomnic periods lasting from several days to weeks. Most KLS patients exhibit normal functions during the intermission period, while early-onset KLS cases in adolescents are rare, often presenting with frequent episodes and complex symptoms, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis. Therefore, this case report analyzed the detailed medical history, laboratory findings, differential diagnosis, and treatment of a teenage patient with KLS, along with a review of the literature. This case aims to provide a deeper understanding of the complex symptoms and diagnostic challenges associated with early-onset KLS in adolescents.

Bipolar disorder in children, a serious mental illness, often leads to significant functional impairment. Bipolar disorder onset in children is rare and is difficult to diagnose correctly due to the atypical clinical manifestations. Risperidone, as a second-generation antipsychotic, shows satisfied efficacy in children with bipolar disorder with dual effects on mood stabilization and psychotic symptom control. However, the long-term efficacy and safety of risperidone for the treatment of children with bipolar disorder remains unknown. This paper reports a 5-year-old child with bipolar disorder who was treated with low-dose risperidone and followed up for 4 years. The child showed significant emotional stabilization and behavioral improvement at the beginning of treatment. No serious side effects occurred during long-term follow-up. This paper detailly describes the clinical manifestations and diagnostic process of bipolar disorder onset in children in aspects of detailed clinical observation and evaluation. It summarizes the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of pediatric bipolar disorder to provide valuable experience for clinicians.

[Objective] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated with underactive bladder (UAB) who respond poorly to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients with BPH and UAB treated with TURP by the same surgeon in Zhongda Hospital Southeast University during Jan.2018 and Jan.2023.The residual urine volume was not significantly relieved after operation, and the maximum urine flow rate and urine volume per discharge were not significantly improved.All patients underwent phase I SNM, and urinary diaries were recorded before and after surgery to observe the average daily frequency of urination, volume per urination, maximum urine flow rate, and residual urine volume. [Results] The operation time was (97.6±11.2) min.During the postoperative test of 2-4 weeks, if the residual urine volume reduction by more than 50% was deemed as effective, SNM was effective in 6 patients (60.0%). Compared with preoperative results, the daily frequency of urination [(20.2±3.8) times vs. (13.2±3.2) times], volume per urination [(119.2±56.7) mL vs. (246.5±59.2) mL], maximum urine flow rate [(8.7±1.5) mL/s vs. (16.5±2.6) mL/s], and residual urine volume [(222.5±55.0) mL vs. (80.8±16.0) mL] were significantly improved, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were no complications such as bleeding, infection, fever or pain.The 6 patients who had effective outcomes successfully completed phase II surgery, and the fistula was removed.During the follow-up of 1 year, the curative effect was stable, and there were no complications such as electrode displacement, incision infection, or pain in the irritation sites.The residual urine volume of the other 4 unsuccessful patients did not improve significantly, and the electrodes were removed and the vesicostomy tube was retained. [Conclusion] SNM is safe and effective in the treatment of BPH with UAB patients with poor curative effects after TURP.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(4):552-557
Objective:
To explore the relationship between sleep characteristics, physical activity patterns, with depressive and anxiety symptoms in college students, so as to provide reference for student mental health promotion.
Methods:
From September to November 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 7 954 college students aged 18-22 years from 9 universities in Shanghai, Hubei, and Jiangxi. Assessments were conducted using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short-Form (IPAQ-SF), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate physical activity, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the impact of sleep characteristics and physical activity patterns on depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity among college students.
Results:
The detection rates for depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and comorbid depression and anxiety symptoms were 25.67%, 35.39%, and 23.15%, respectively. Factors such as gender, grade, household registration, parental education level, annual family income, family structure, and dietary habits were all associated with the detection rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (χ2=4.41-118.39, P<0.05). Physical activity patterns, sleep duration, sleep quality, and sleepwake characteristics were also associated with the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (χ2=9.66-627.70, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that college students who stayed up late and slept less than 7 had the highest risk of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (OR=1.93, 1.85, 1.88, P<0.05). Compared to regular physical activity patterns, insufficient physical activity patterns were associated with an increased risk of depressive and anxiety symptoms (all OR=1.18, P<0.05). Further stratified analysis results showed that the risk of depression, anxiety and their comorbidity increased in college students who stayed up late and slept less than 7 h, went to bed before midnight and slept less than 7 h, or went to bed before midnight and slept more than 7 h but did not have sufficient physical activity (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Sleep characteristics and physical activity patterns significantly affect depressive and anxiety symptoms in college students. Universities should strengthen sleep management and implement flexible physical activity interventions to help students establish healthy lifestyles.

Objective:To investigate factors influencing frequent episodes (≥ 4 episodes within 1 year) in children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in China.Methods:A national multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients under the age of 18 years diagnosed with moderate-to-severe AD were enrolled at dermatology clinics in 18 medical institutions across 12 provinces and municipalities in China between June 12 and August 8, 2023. At the time of the visit, their guardians completed a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, clinical features of AD, personal and family history, factors associated with frequent episodes of moderate-to-severe AD, compliance with treatment, and disease awareness. Statistical analyses included t tests, one-way analysis of variance, rank-sum tests, and chi-square tests, with multiple-response analysis applied for multiple-choice questions. Results:A total of 965 valid questionnaires were collected, and 965 children with moderate-to-severe AD were included. Among them, there were 531 males and 434 females, 678 (70.3%) were aged 2 - < 12 years, 837 (86.7%) were from urban areas, the age at onset was 2.47 ± 3.03 years, and the median frequency of AD episodes in the past year was 4 times. These children were divided into 2 groups based on the median episode frequency: < 4-episode group (439 cases, 45.5%) and ≥ 4-episode group (526 cases, 54.5%). Compared with the < 4-episode group, children in the ≥ 4-episode group showed younger ages at onset (2.22 ± 2.98 years vs. 2.76 ± 3.06 years, P = 0.006) and higher proportions of patients with comorbid allergic diseases in both the children themselves (82.9% [436/526] vs. 69.7% [306/439], χ2 = 23.42, P < 0.001) and their relatives (66.0% [347/526] vs. 57.4% [252/439], χ2 = 7.46, P = 0.006). Children in the ≥ 4- episode group also had higher monthly usage of moisturizers (150 [30, 300] g vs. 60 [6, 200] g) and daily frequency of moisturizer use, greater disease awareness, but more severe fear of medication use (all P < 0.05). The region and the human development index level were both significantly associated with the episode frequency (both P < 0.001), with the highest proportion of children from South China in the ≥ 4- episode group (36.3%, 191/526). Children in the ≥ 4-episode group also had a longer duration of topical glucocorticoid use than those in the < 4-episode group ( Z = -2.21, P = 0.027). External triggers associated with AD episodes mainly included heat exposure (50.36%, 486/965), hot water bathing (40.73%, 393/965), seafood (23.52%, 227/965), and dust mites (33.37%, 322/965) . Conclusion:In children with moderate-to-severe AD in China, factors influencing frequent episodes may include residence in southern or economically developed regions, earlier age at onset, having a personal or family history of allergic diseases, and fear of medication use.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of cervical adenocarcinoma and analyze the survival status and related prognostic factors.Methods:The data of 229 patients with cervical adenocarcinoma who were diagnosed pathologically in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2013 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 198 early stage patients were mainly treated with surgery, and 31 locally advanced stage patients were mainly treated with chemoradiotherapy. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates in the whole cohort of patients and different treatment subgroups were calculated. Kaplan‐Meier method and log‐rank test were used for survival analysis, and Cox proportional hazards model was used for univariate and multivariate survival analyses.Results:Among the 229 patients, there were 11 subtypes of pathological classifications, predominantly of the usual‐type. At the end of follow‐up, 57 patients (24.9%) relapsed. The 3‐ and 5‐year OS rates were 86.4% and 79.3%, respectively, and the 3‐ and 5‐year PFS rates were 81.6% and 73.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging of stages Ⅲ‐Ⅳ was an independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS ( HR=2.033, 95% CI=1.456‐2.839, P<0.001; HR=1.701, 95% CI=1.251‐2.313, P=0.001). Lymph node metastasis was an independent risk factor for PFS ( HR=1.610,95% CI=1.021‐2.539, P=0.041). Subgroup analysis of 198 patients with surgical treatment: the 3‐ and 5‐year OS rates were 90.0% and 84.9%, and the 3‐ and 5‐year PFS rates were 82.7% and 76.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis and deep invasion depth were the main risk factors for OS ( HR=6.893, 95% CI=2.592‐18.327, P<0.001; HR=1.952, 95% CI=1.164‐3.272, P=0.011) and PFS ( HR=5.507, 95% CI=2.569‐11.805, P<0.001; HR=1.638, 95% CI=1.09‐2.461, P=0.018). Ovarian preservation was an independent risk factor for PFS ( HR=3.364, 95% CI=1.115‐10.151, P=0.031). Conclusions:The pathological types of cervical adenocarcinoma are complex and diverse. Local recurrence and distant metastasis are the main reasons for treatment failure. FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis and postoperative depth of invasion are the main prognostic factors of cervical adenocarcinoma.

Objective:The aim was to analyze key indicators for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis B(CHB),including virus detection rate,standardized treatment rate,and loss to follow-up rate,in order to provide a basis for optimizing diagnosis and treatment plans,improve the diagnosis and treatment level of CHB,and improve patient prognosis.Methods:Patients with CHB admitted to the Guangzhou Eighth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from January 2024 to January 2025 were enrolled. The datas were collected and organized using Excel. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software,with a focus on evaluating core indicators such as virus detection rate,standardized treatment rate,and loss to follow-up rate.Results:The positive rate of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)in non-specific patients was 28.95%,the antiviral treatment rate in specialized patients was 90.78%,and the standardized antiviral drug conversion treatment rate in low-level viremia(LLV)patients was 61.45%. The standardized antiviral drug conversion treatment rates for high-risk patients with combined kidney/bone injuries were 72.75% and 74.40%,respectively. The overall dropout rate was 10.47%,with a dropout rate of 13.80% for LLV patients.Conclusions:The antiviral treatment coverage rates in CHB patients were over 90%,but in certain groups(such as LLV patients and those with kidney or bone injuries),the standardized treatment rates were still low and loss to follow-up rates were high,suggesting the need to improve HBV screening,treatment for special populations,and patient adherence.
