Objective: To explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health risk behaviors (HRBs) among college students and the mediating role of psychological symptoms, so as to provide a basis for developing intervention strategies. Methods: From March to April 2023, a convenience cluster sample of 1 801 students from 12 universities in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, Wuzhou of Guangxi completed an online survey. A self designed questionnaire, Adverse Childhood Experiences-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were used for evaluation tools. Binary Logistic regression, structural equation modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap methods were used to analyze the associations and mediating effects. Results: Overall, 71.2% of college students experienced at least one type of ACE, with emotional neglect (40.3%) and emotional abuse ( 25.2 %) having the highest detection rates. The top three HRBs were unhealthy diet (77.8%), physical inactivity (54.1%), and smoking/alcohol use (18.5%). Logistic regression showed that poor family functioning, abuse, and extra familial violence were each associated with an increased risk of smoking/alcohol use ( OR =1.14, 1.11, 1.18) and deliberate self harm ( OR =1.26, 1.19,1.30) (all P <0.05). Experience of abuse increased the risk of high risk sexual behavior and family dysfunction increaded the risk of physical inactivity, respectively ( OR = 1.07 , 1.04, both P <0.05). Mediation analysis revealed that anxiety ( β =0.20) and depression ( β = 0.09 ) partially mediated the pathway from poor family functioning to deliberate self harm; paranoia ( β =0.02) partially mediated the pathway from abuse to high risk sexual behavior; and obsessive-compulsive symptoms ( β =0.26) and depression ( β =0.10) partially mediated the pathway from extra familial violence to deliberate self harm (all P <0.05). Conclusion Psychological symptoms play a mediating role in the association between ACEs and HRBs, and mental health interventions may reduce the risk of HRBs among college students.

Objective To discuss the safety and effectiveness of ProGlide vascular stitching device in catheter-directed thrombolysis for patients with thrombosis of lower limb arteries.Methods The patients with arterial thrombosis of lower extremity,who received catheter-directed thrombolysis at the Department of Vascular Surgery of Weifang People's Hospital of China from January 2020 to December 2023,were collected for this study.In performing the vascular interventional surgery,a 6-Fr femoral artery sheath was used to accomplish the catheter-directed thrombolysis in all patients.When the catheter-directed thrombolysis was ended,ProGlide vascular stitching device was used to suture the femoral artery puncture point,or the femoral artery puncture point was oppressed with a finger.The hemostatic success rate and the incidence of relevant complications were compared between the two groups.Results A total of 156 patients who received catheter-directed thrombolysis of lower extremity were enrolled in this study.Of the 156 patients,ProGlide vascular stitching device was used to suture the femoral artery puncture point in 80(ProGlide device group)and finger-oppression was adopted in 76(finger-oppression group).Compared with finger-oppression group,in ProGlide device group the hemostatic success rate was obviously higher(96.25％vs.80.3％,P=0.002).Nine patients in finger-oppression group(11.8％)and 2 patients in ProGlide device group(2.5％)developed puncture site hematoma or pseudoaneurysm(P=0.023).Five patients in finger-oppression group(6.6％)had to receive surgical operation to repair the femoral artery,and one patient in ProGlide device group(1.25％)developed ProGlide device-related femoral artery occlusion.Adverse events occurred in 15 patients(19.7％)of finger-oppression group and 3 patients(3.75％)of ProGlide device group(P=0.002).Conclusion ProGlide vascular stitching device can be safely used in patients with arterial thrombosis of lower extremity receiving catheter-directed thrombolysis.This device carries high success rate for suturing the femoral artery puncture point,thus,the incidence of hematoma at the puncture site can be reduced.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from five patients comprehensively diagnosed with emphysematous osteomyelitis (EO) based on clinical, imaging, microbiological culture, and surgical findings at Hebei Medical University Third Hospital from December 2020 to May 2024. Among these five cases, there were three males and two females, aged between 11 and 69 years. Three patients had infection risk factors (two with diabetes and one with anemia), while two had no documented risk factors in their medical history. All patients presented with fever, localized pain at the infection site, and elevated inflammatory markers. Site of incidence: EO affected the lumbar spine in three cases, the ilium in one case, and the femur in one case. Pathogenic microorganisms: The causative agents included Klebsiella pneumoniae (two cases), Escherichia coli (one case), Burkholderia cepacia (one case), and a mixed infection of Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii (one case). Imaging findings: Among the three patients who underwent X-ray examinations, one showed normal results, while two exhibited bone destruction. CT scans of all five cases revealed the characteristic "pumice sign" without periosteal reaction or osteosclerosis. MRI, performed on four patients, demonstrated bone destruction, swelling of surrounding soft tissues, and soft tissue abscess formation. Treatment and outcomes: Four patients underwent surgical debridement combined with perioperative antibiotic therapy. Of these, three recovered well, while one achieved good infection control but suffered severe joint destruction. One patient died after treatment was discontinued. The clinical and laboratory findings of EO resemble those of common acute osteomyelitis; however, EO has distinct imaging characteristics. Timely diagnosis, aggressive surgical debridement, and strong, targeted antibiotic therapy can result in favorable outcomes. Conversely, delayed diagnosis and treatment may lead to severe complications or death.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of ExoSeal vascular occluder in bridging therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods The clinical data of 142 AIS patients,who received mechanical thrombectomy in the bridge-connected vascular lumen after full dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt-PA)thrombolysis at the Weifang Municipal People's Hospital of China between June 2018 and December 2020,were retrospectively analyzed.An 8-F femoral arterial sheath was used for the performance of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in all patients.After the interventional procedure finished,the hemostasis of femoral artery puncture point was achieved by using manual compression(MC)method in 68 patients(MC group)and by using a 7-F ExoSeal vascular occluder method in 74 patients(ExoSeal group).The success rate of puncture point hemostasis and the incidence of puncture point-related complications were compared between the two methods.Results The success rate of surgery in the ExoSeal group was 94.6％,which was obviously higher than 83.8％in the MC group(P=0.037).During the period from the time of finishing surgery and the time of discharge,11 patients(16.2％)in the MC group and 4 patients(5.4％)in the ExoSeal group developed puncture point-related complications(P=0.030),and 6 patients(8.8％)in the MC group and 2 patients(2.7％)in the ExoSeal group developed deep vein thrombosis(P=0.109).No arteriovenous fistula,pseudoaneurysm,acute ischemia of the ipsilateral lower limb,puncture point-associated major bleeding,or other complications that required vascular surgery or interventional therapy occurred in all patients.Conclusion ExoSeal vascular closure device can be safely used in AIS patients who are receiving mechanical thrombectomy in the bridge-connected vascular lumen after thrombolysis.It carries high success rate for femoral artery puncture point hemostasis,besides,it can reduce the incidence of puncture point hematoma.

Objective:To evaluate Castor single-branch covered-stent in the treatment of Stanford B aortic dissection(TBAD)with insufficient anchorage zone.Methods:Clinical data of 25 TBAD patients (proximal healthy landing zone ≤15 mm) treated with Castor branched stent-graft at Weifang People's Hospital from Apr 2019 to Sep 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.The stent model was selected according to preoperative CTA examination and intraoperative angiography,the operation result and follow up data were reviewed.Results:The operation success rate was 100%,the mean operative time was (137.8±35.8)min, and the mean blood loss was (52.8±24.5)ml. There were 2 cases of internal leakage (IA) and it was disappeared after balloon dilation, Branched stent stenosis occurred in 2 cases and relieved by balloon dilatation. The mean follow-up time was 14.6 months, and the patency rate of branch stent was 100% during the follow-up period. The true lumen diameter of thoracic aorta was significantly expanded and the false lumen diameter was significantly reduced 3 months after surgery compared with that before surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Castor stenting in the treatment of TBAD with insufficient proximal anchoring area is simple and feasible, with satisfactory short term clinical effect.

Objective To evaluate the clinical and radiological features of Gorham disease. Methods Clinical and radiological features of Gorham disease were retrospectively analyzed by reviewing the eleven cases from our hospital and the cases reported in the domestic literature in the past fifty years. The diagnoses of all these 11 patients were in accordance with the diagnostic criteria established by Wells and Gray et al. All patients had X?ray plain film, four had CT scan and five had MR examination, with one had additional contrast?enhanced MR examination. Results There were 7 males and 4 females, age ranged from 16 to 66 years with a median age of 32 years. There were six cases involving hand, one involving ulnar and radial bones, one involving acetabulum and three involving jaw bones. The main clinical manifestations were pain, swelling, limited activity, and focal muscular atrophy occurred in 7 cases. On X?ray plain films, the affected bone became thin and the cortexes were not smooth and became coarse in 6 cases. Local lucent area was seen in 5 cases and massive bone absorption was seen in 6 cases. The residual bones showed a tapering appearance in 1 case. Pathological fracture occurred in 1 case. On CT scans, the affected bone became thin and the cortexes became coarse in 4 cases. Local lucent area was seen in 1 case. Massive bone absorption was seen in 3 cases. The adjacent muscular atrophy and widened intermuscular fat space occurred in 2 cases (atrophic bone absorption). On MRI, normal signal intensity of bone marrow disappeared and demonstrated low signal on T1WI and high signal on T2WI. The signal could be homogeneous or heterogeneous. There were widespread strip and patchy high signal areas in the soft tissue around the absorption areas in 4 cases, which resembled the edema?like signal. In 1 case, there was irregular widespread soft tissue mass around the absorption areas with heterogeneous high signal on T2WI. The adjacent muscle showed atrophy, and the intermuscular fat space became wide. There were a total of 92 cases reported cases in the literature including our 11 cases. There were 63 males and 29 females. The onset age ranged from 10 to 40 years in 66/92(72%)cases. The lesion affected one bone in 24 cases, affected two or more bones in 68 cases, out of which 9 cases had single center distribution, 59 cases had multiple centers distribution. Pectoral girdle, pelvis, maxillofacial bones, and hand were the most common sites of involvement in decreasing order. Forty three cases had muscle atrophy and 8 cases had soft tissue mass. Conclusion Gorham disease should be considered when atrophic bone absorption in one bone or continuous bones occurs that does not match clinical symptoms, with soft tissue atrophy but no bone sclerosis or periosteal reaction in the osteolytic areas.

Objective To analyze the pattern of normal bone marrow on whole body diffusionweighted imaging (WB-DWI) and its influence factors.MethodsA total of 98 healthy volunteers (male 47 and female 51). All volunteers underwent WB-DWI at 1.5 T MR scan. The ADC value,the signal intensity on DWI obtained with a b value of 800 s/mm2 ( SIDWI ),and the signal intensity on short time inversion recovery images ( SISTIR ) of thoracic vertebrae,lumber vertebrae,bilateral head of femur,bilateral neck of femur,bilateral superior segment of femur,bilateral inferior segment of femur,bilateral ilium,bilateral head of humerus,bilateral scapula were measured and compared with ANOVA test and StudentNewmar-Keuls test.The normal appearance of bone marrow on WB-DW[ was assessed. The relationship between the SIDwI and the ADC,and the SIDWI and the SISTIR of bone marrow were analyzed.The ADC of bone marrow between male and femaIe were compared. Spearman correlation analysis was performed for different age groups.Results( 1 ) Bone marrow signal intensity was different among 98 healthy volunteers.Bone marrow in 69 healthy volunteers (female 24,male 45 ) showed low to intermediate signal intensity,whereas in the remaining 29 healthy volunteers (female 27,male 2) showed high signal intensity.(2) The SIDWI of thoracic vertebrae ( median 44.54),lumber vertebrae ( median 35.01 ),head of femur ( median 13.61 ),neck of femur ( median 16.00),superior segment of femur ( median 21.45 ),ilium ( median 25.77),head of humerus (median 18.35),scapula (median 36.12) was positively correlated with the ADC [ (0.55 ±0.08) × l0-3,(0.53 ±0.08) × 10-3,(0.30 ± 0.10) × 10-3,(0.42 ± 0.16) × 10-3,(0.74±0.14) ×l0- 3,(0.49±0.10) ×10-3,(0.36±0.13) ×10-3,(0.49±0.11) × 10-3mm2/s]and the SISTIR ( median 61.81,64.99,53.27,69.08,73.10,66.35,73.16,79.81 ),r =0.513 and 0.695,0.741 and 0.764,0.443 and 0.489,0.641 and 0.656,0.510 and 0.648,0.475 and 0.715,0.366 and 0.446,0.437 and 0.739 ;P ＜ 0.01. (3) There was significant difference of the ADC of bone marrow in different bone,F =138.69,P ＜ 0.01. Student-Newman-Keuls test revealed that no significant difference was found in the ADC between thoracic vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae,ilium and scapula,head of humerus and inferior segment of femur ( P ＞ 0.05 ),and significant difference was found in the ADC values between the remaining two groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ). The bones associated with decreasing ADC values were superior segment of femur,thoracic vertebrae and lumber vertebrae,ilium and scapula,neck of femur,head of humerus,head of femur and inferior segment of femur. ( 4 ) The ADC values of bone marrow of female subjects in thoracic vertebrae [ (0.59 ±0.07) × 10-3 mm2/s],lumber vertebrae [ (0.58 ±0.06) × 10 -3 mm2/s],head of femur ( median 0.33 × 10 -3 mm2/s),neck of femur ( median 0.53 × 10 -3 mm2/s),superior segment of femur ( median 0.81 × 10-3 mm2/s),inferior segment of femur ( median 0.32 ×10-3 mm2/s),ilium [ (0.52 ± 0.09 ) × 10-3 mm2/s ],head of humerus (median 0.42 × 10-3 mm2/s),scapula [ (0.53 ± 0.09) × 10-3 mm2/s] were significantly higher than those of male subjects [ (0.51 ±0.07) × 10-3,(0.48 ±0.07) × 10-3,median 0.23 × 10-3,median 0.31 × 10-3,median 0.66 × 10-3,median 0.23 × 10-3,(0.46 ±0.10) × 10-3,median 0.27 × 10-3,(0.45 ±0.11 ) × 10 3mm2/s].(5)There was significant negative correlation between the ADC values of bone marrow and age in thoracic vertebrae,lumber vertebrae,head of femur,neck of femur,superior segment of femur,ilium,head of humerus for female subjects,r =-0.549, -0.629, -0.329, -0.524, -0.338, -0.548 and -0.416,respectively,P ＜ 0.05.There was no significant correlation between ADC values and age in inferior segment of femur and scapula for female subjects and all the regions for male subjects ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions The ADC and the SIsTIR of bone marrow correlates with the SIDW1.The ADC values of bone marrow is affected by age and sex,and is different for different bones.

Objective To analyze the imaging features of primary lymphoma of the bone,and discuss the special feature of the floating ice sign. Methods Forty-one cases of primary lymphoma of the bone in our unit from 1963.1-2009.6 were retrospectively studied. All 41 patients underwent X-ray examination, and 20 patients underwent CT examination, 12 patients underwent MR examination (3 cases simultaneously with enhancement).Results Involvement of the flat bone was seen in 12 cases. Vertebral column was affected in 8 cases, and 17 cases showed lesions in long bones and irregular bones were involved in 4 cases. The most common location was the femur(10, 24.4%), followed by the ilium(8, 19.5%). Lesions were found in the metaphyses of the long bone in 11 cases (64.7%). Floating ice sign was showed in the calcaneus of 2 patients and in the lumbar vertebra of 2 cases respectively, accounted for 9.8% of all cases. Slight bone destruction with soft tissue mass on CT image could be found in 12 cases, while obvious soft tissue mass was found in 9 cases. No periosteal reaction was found in 37 cases (90.2%). MRI examinations of 12 patients revealed soft tissue mass in 10 patients, and the extent of the lesion was larger in MR than CT. One case showed extensive bone destruction on MR but inconspicuous bone destruction on X-ray plain film and CT scan. Conclusion Slight bone destruction with conspicuous soft tissue mass, conspicuous bone destruction on MR but slight or inconspicuous bone destruction on X-ray film and CT,could strongly imply the diagnosis of primary lymphoma of the bone. Floating ice sign was a special imaging feature of primary lymphoma of the bone, which could be used as a clue for the diagnosis of lymphoma.

Objective To explore the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differentiation between benign and malignant bone tumors. Methods Echo planar imaging DWI was performed in 18 patients with benign tumor or tumorous lesion and 26 patients with malignant tumor of bone. Three b-values (0, 500 and 1000 s/mm2) were applied. The lowest, highest, and whole ADC values were measured for each lesion, respectively. Results The lowest ADC values of benign bone tumor[ mean( 1.28±0. 49) ×10-3mm2/s ] were significantly higher than that of malignant tumor [ mean ( 0. 92±0. 35 )×10-3mm2/s, t = 2. 839, P < 0. 01 ]. The whole ADC values of benign bone tumor [ mean (1.62±0. 51 ) ×10-3mm2/s] were significantly higher than that of malignant tumor [ mean ( 1.21±0. 36) ×10-3mm2/s, t = 3. 092, P < 0. 01 ]. However, there were much overlapping between benign and malignant bone tumor in the lowest and whole ADC values. There was no significant difference for the highest ADC values between benign [. Mean ( 2. 02±0. 55 )×10-3mm2/s] and malignant bone tumor[ mean( 1.71±0. 65 ) ×10-3mm2/s, t = 1. 669, P > 0. 05 ]. Excluding cases of bone cyst and aneurismal bone cyst, the lowest, highest, and whole ADC values of benign bone tumor was (1.11± 0. 31 )×10-3mm2/s, ( 1.88±0. 49)×10-3mm2/s, and( 1.45±0. 35 )×10-3mm2/s, respectively. There was no significant difference for the lowest, highest, or whole ADC values between benign and malignant bone tumor (t = 1. 728, 0. 964, and 2. 012, respectively, P > 0. 05). Conclusion ADC value is useless for the differentiation between benign and malignant bone tumors.
