BackgroundSuicide is the second leading cause of death in adolescents. Patients with depression have a high risk of suicide， and family dysfunction is an important contributing factor of suicide. However， the mechanisms among these variables remain unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the influence of family cohesion and adaptability on the risk of suicide in adolescent inpatients with depression， and the mediating effect of depressive symptoms and the moderating effect of resilience， so as to provide references for suicide prevention and intervention. MethodsA total of 335 adolescent inpatients with depression were consecutively enrolled from October 2024 to August 2025 in a tertiary Grade A psychiatric hospital in Guangzhou. All participants met the diagnostic criteria for depression in the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）. They were assessed using the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale Ⅱ-Chinese Version （FACES Ⅱ-CV）， the Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）， the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC）， the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised （SBQ-R） and the suicide module of the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview （MINI）. A comprehensive suicide risk index was constructed. Model 4 and model 7 in the SPSS macro program Process 4.1 were used to test the mediating effect and the moderating effect， respectively. ResultsCorrelation analysis revealed that the SDS score was positively correlated with the composite suicide risk index （r_s=0.663， P<0.01） but negatively correlated with the family cohesion and adaptability dimensions scores of the FACES II-CV and the CD-RISC score （r_s=-0.448， -0.386， -0.576， P<0.01）. Depressive symptoms fully mediated the association between family cohesion and suicide risk， with an indirect effect of -0.491 （95% CI： -0.646–-0.352）， accounting for 89.76% of the total effect. Depressive symptoms also fully mediated the association between family adaptability and suicide risk， with an indirect effect of -0.442 （95% CI： -0.603–-0.293）， accounting for 89.11% of the total effect. Resilience significantly moderated the effect of family cohesion on depressive symptoms （β=-0.006， P<0.01） and the effect of family adaptability on depressive symptoms （β=-0.007， P<0.05）. ConclusionIn adolescent inpatients with depression， depressive symptoms may play a fully mediating role in the relationships between family cohesion/family adaptability and suicide risk， respectively， and resilience moderated the first stage of this mediating pathway. ［Funded by Guangzhou Science and Technology Plan Project （number， 2024A03J0299）］

BackgroundBoth modified Suanzaoren Decoction and estazolam serve as effective treatments for chronic insomnia disorder （CID）. Default mode network （DMN） dysfunction is recognized as the primary pathophysiological mechanism underlying CID. However， it remains unclear whether the two treatments exert their therapeutic effects via convergent modulation of DMN functional connectivity. ObjectiveTo investigate the convergent remodeling characteristics of bidirectional effective connectivity （EC） of core DMN nodes with both the intra-network and the remaining whole-brain regions in CID patients with Yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome following the treatment with modified Suanzaoren Decoction or estazolam， so as to provide neuroimaging evidence for the convergent neural mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of both therapies in treating CID. MethodsEighty-two patients diagnosed with CID according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorder， third edition （ICSD-3） were consecutively recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Mental Health Center from October 2020 to September 2023. Based on treatment preference， patients were assigned to receive a 6-week intervention in either the modified Suanzaoren Decoction group （n=52） or the estazolam group （n=30）. Ultimately， 66 patients completed follow-up assessments （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group， n=41； estazolam group， n=25）. All CID patients underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning before and after treatment. Core DMN nodes including medial prefrontal cortex （mPFC）， bilateral inferior parietal lobule （IPL）， and precuneus （PCUN） were selected as seed regions. Granger causality analysis （GCA） was employed to assess bidirectional EC between the seed regions and both the other intra-DMN nodes and the remaining whole-brain regions. Hepatic and renal function indices were detected pre- and post-treatment to evaluate the safety profiles of both treatments. ResultsAt baseline， significant between-group differences were identified in EC from the left IPL to the left middle fronto-orbital gyrus/gyrus rectus （t=5.24， Z=4.84， voxel-level P<0.001， cluster-level P<0.05， GRF-corrected）， with the modified Suanzaoren Decoction group exhibiting stronger EC than the estazolam group. No significant between-group differences were observed in EC between other core DMN nodes and remaining whole-brain regions （P>0.05）. Within-group pre- to post-treatment comparisons demonstrated consistent connectivity alterations in both groups. Specifically， EC from the left IPL to the supplementary motor area （SMA） decreased after treatment （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=-6.28， Z=5.208； estazolam group： t=-5.58， Z=4.425）. Conversely， EC from the SMA to the left IPL increased （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=5.89， Z=4.968； estazolam group： t=6.15， Z=4.720）. Furthermore， both groups demonstrated reduced EC from the PCUN to the left IPL （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=-5.85， Z=4.94； estazolam group： t=-5.75， Z=4.515）， and elevated EC from the left IPL to the PCUN （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=5.29， Z=4.579； estazolam group： t=4.55， Z=3.826） （voxel-level P<0.001， cluster-level P<0.05， GRF-corrected）. No significant pre- to post-treatment differences were observed in hepatic or renal function indices in either group （P>0.05）. ConclusionIn CID patients with Yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome， both modified Suanzaoren Decoction and estazolam induce convergent bidirectional remodeling of EC between the left IPL and the SMA and the PCUN. ［Funded by Natural Science Fund Project of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region （number， 2019MS08099）； ClinicalTrials.gov number， NCT06452953］

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum levels of Ninjurin 1(NINJ1),cystatin C(CysC),and D-dimer(D-D)for unfavorable outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:A total of 118 AMI patients hospitalized in the Chinese PLA Joint Logistic Support Force 901st Hospital between Feb-ruary 2020 and March 2023 were enrolled.According to prognosis within 6 months after treatment,patients were divided into favorable outcome group and unfavorable outcome group.Serum levels of CysC,D-D and NINJ1 were measured upon admission.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing unfavorable outcome in AMI patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to analyze the pre-dictive value of serum NINJ1,CysC and D-D for the prognosis of AMI patients.A nomogram model for predicting unfavorable outcome in AMI patients was constructed and verified.Results:Compared to patients with favorable outcomes,those with unfavorable outcomes had significantly higher proportions of hypertension,diabetes,number of diseased coronary arteries ≥2,and serum levels of NINJ1,CysC and D-D,as well as a significantly lower pro-portion of Killip class Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.01 all).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that number of diseased coronary arteries ≥2(OR=3.817,95％CI 1.140～12.779,P=0.030),Killip class Ⅲ-Ⅳ(OR=5.639,95％CI 1.706～18.637,P=0.005),hypertension(OR=4.188,95％CI 1.392～12.600,P=0.011),diabetes(OR=3.480,95％CI 1.148～10.552,P=0.028),and serum levels of NINJ1(OR=1.055,95％CI 1.009～1.103,P=0.018),CysC(OR=75.232,95％CI 5.537～545.908,P=0.003),and D-D(OR=56.163,95％CI 1.610～958.586,P=0.026)were significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes at 6 months in AMI patients.ROC a-nalysis showed that the AUC of serum NINJ1,CysC and D-D combined predicting unfavorable outcomes was 0.801(95％CI 0.718～0.869),which was significantly higher than those of serum NINJ1(0.675,95％CI 0.582～0.758)and D-D(0.676,95％CI 0.583～0.759)alone(Z=2.344,P=0.019;Z=2.173,P=0.030,),but the difference was not significant comparing to CysC alone(Z=1.856,P=0.064).The C-index of the nomogram model predic-ting unfavorable outcomes was 0.973(95％CI 0.967～0.986),and the predicted values of calibration curve were consistent with the actual values,indicating good prediction accuracy.Conclusion:Elevated serum levels of NINJ1,CysC and D-D in AMI patients were significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes.Combined detection of these indicators may accurately predict unfavorable outcomes compared to single detection,and the constructed no-mogram model exhibits good prediction efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of airway mucus plugging in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods:This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. A total of 322 hospitalized AECOPD patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from February 2023 to February 2025 were enrolled. Based on chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings of airway mucus plugging, patients were classified into mucus plugging and non-mucus plugging groups. General and clinical data were collected, including age, sex, disease duration, smoking and alcohol history, comorbidities, number of acute exacerbations in the past year, routine blood tests, biochemical indices, pulmonary function, and pathogen detection. The incidence of airway mucus plugging in AECOPD patients was calculated, and differences in baseline characteristics, laboratory parameters, and pulmonary function between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for mucus plugging, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate the predictive value of relevant indicators.Results:Of the 322 enrolled patients, 87(27.02%) were found to have airway mucus plugging. Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences between the mucus plug group and the non-plug group in the following parameters (all P<0.05): body mass index (BMI), disease duration, smoking status, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification, modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, frequency of acute exacerbations, neutrophil percentage, absolute lymphocyte count, lymphocyte percentage, albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, fibrin(ogen) degradation products, D-dimer, Aspergillus infection rate, percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1 second to predicted value (FEV 1%pred), ratio of FEV 1 to forced vital capacity (FEV 1/FVC), and percentage of maximal mid-expiratory flow to predicted value (MMEF 75/25%pred). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the following as independent risk factors for airway mucus plugs (all P<0.05): elevated CRP ( OR=1.022, 95% CI: 1.013-1.036), decreased albumin ( OR=0.891, 95% CI: 0.825-0.959), Aspergillus infection ( OR=1.774, 95% CI: 1.366-2.317), and reduced MMEF 75/25%pred value ( OR=0.978, 95% CI: 0.964-0.990). ROC curve analysis showed that the combined predictive model incorporating CRP, albumin, Aspergillus infection, and MMEF 75/25%pred had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.776(95% CI: 0.714-0.838), which was superior to each individual indicator alone, with AUCs of 0.721 for CRP, 0.687 for albumin, 0.579 for Aspergillus infection, and 0.631 for MMEF 75/25%pred. Conclusions:AECOPD patients with airway mucus plugging exhibit higher inflammatory markers, poorer nutritional status, a higher likelihood of Aspergillus infection, worse pulmonary function, and poorer prognosis. Aspergillus infection, elevated CRP, decreased albumin, and reduced MMEF 75/25%pred are independent risk factors for mucus plugs in AECOPD.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of overweight and obesity among Chinese children aged 3-18 years from 11 provinces, antonomous regions, or municipalities.Methods:This national cross-sectional community health survey utilized a multistage stratified cluster-random sampling method to recruit 193 997 nationally representative participants from 11 provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities between January 2017 and December 2019. All participants underwent physical examinations, and their caregivers completed questionnaires assessing participants′ dietary, lifestyle, familial, and perinatal information. Multilevel multinomial logistic regression models were employed to identify the potential risk factors.Results:The cohort comprised 193 997 children (102 178 boys, 91 819 girls),aged (10±4) years. Overall prevalence rates were 30 574(15.8%)overweight children and 17 217(8.9%) obesity children. Boys exhibited higher overweight and obesity rates than girls (17.0% (17 368/102 178) vs. 14.4% (13 206/102 178), 11.3% (11 553/91 819) vs. 6.2% (5 664/91 819), χ2=249.12,1 578.69,both P<0.001). The detection rates of obesity in Tanner stage 2 and 3 were the highest in boys and girls, with 13.4%(2 231/16 665) and 8.6%(880/10 221) respectively. Risk factors for obesity included parental overweight (paternal OR=2.34 and maternal OR=2.29), annual household income of 100 000-200 000 yuan (compared with<100 000 yuan, OR=1.04), higher paternal education (compared with below high school,high school and a college education OR=1.09,1.14), birth weight >4.0 kg (≤5 and>5 years old OR=1.74, 1.44,respectively), and western food consumption≥1 time/month (compared with<1, 1-2, 3-4,>4 times/month OR=1.36, 1.30, 1.67(≤5 years), 1.19, 1.16, 1.15 (>5 years), respectively) (all P<0.05). Conversely, coarse grain intake≥1 times/week (compared with<1 times/week, every day, 3-4, 1-2 times/week OR=0.74, 0.80, 0.71 (≤5 years), 0.75, 0.87, 0.90(>5 years), respectively, all P<0.05) was associated with reduced obesity risk. Conclusions:Obesity epidemiology in children demonstrates significant heterogeneity across age, gender, geographic regions, and pubertal stages. It is necessary to establish a personalized prevention and control strategy.

A 57-year-old male patient with lung adenocarcinoma accompanied by brain metastasis received radiotherapy and chemotherapy with poor efficacy. Subsequently, he was given camrelizumab at a dose of 200 mg intravenously once every 21 days, combined with intermittent chemotherapy or targeted drug therapy. After 22 months, the patient developed right eye pain with visual loss. Slit lamp examination showed a transverse oval shallow ulcer with clear boundary, clean surface and a maximum diameter of about 6 mm in the center of the cornea of the right eye, with positive fluorescein staining. Immune-related corneal ulcers due to camrelizumab were considered. Camrelizumab was discontinued, and the patients′ ocular symptoms were gradually improved after systemic and local glucocorticoid and corneal repair drugs were given. Seven months later, due to the patient did not follow the doctor′s advice to replace eye drops, overuse of glucocorticoid occurred, resulting in perforation of the original ulcer. The glucocorticoid-containing eye drops was discontinued, the patient underwent amniotic membrane grafting combined with amniotic membrane patching on the right eye, and the patient's condition was improved.

Objective To evaluate the prognosis and safety of patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)who received I-125 seed implantation in treatment with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with stage Ⅳ metastatic PDAC who received anti-PD-1 combined chemotherapy treatment at Yixing Hospital,Jiangsu University from Jan 2021 to Jun 2023.Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received I-125 seed implantation:the I-125 seed implantation+anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+Chemotherapy group(IPC group)and the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy group(PC group).The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 24 months,with a median follow-up time of 9 months.The prognosis of patients was analysed in combination with peripheral blood biomarkers.The peripheral lymphocyte subsets of patients in different treatment groups were preliminarily analysed by flow cytometry.Results A total of 13 patients were included,with 5 in the IPC group and 8 in the PC group.Progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)in the IPC group were significantly longer than those in the PC group.The treatment in the IPC group was relatively safe,adverse reactions were controllable.The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and CD4/CD8 ratio indicated that the prognosis of the IPC patients was better.The levels of regulatory T cells(Treg)and active regulatory T cells(aTreg)cells in the IPC patients were reduced after treatment compared with those of the PC patients.Conclusion The addition of I-125 seed implantation can improve the prognosis of patients with advanced PDAC who receive anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy,the post-treatment levels of patients'circulating aTreg cells are reduced,and the combination therapy has good safety.

Intraocular ointment is conventionally placed on the eye to prevent infection after cataract surgery. The purpose of this study is to report a case and conduct a systematic review of a rare occurrence of the entry of intraocular ointment after cataract surgery. PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CNKI, WANFANG data, China Science and Technology Journal Database and Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database were systematically searched from their commencement to 30th October 2023, and 19 literatures were screened out and 31 cases of intraocular ointment after surgery were collected. Among the 31 patients, the age of presentation ranged from 55 to 87 years with a median of 73, males accounted for 45.2% and females accounted for 32.3%. The length of the incision was generally 3.2 mm. Most of the patients detected ointment within 3 days post-operation and presented without complications(45.2%). The most common ocular manifestations were corneal edema, glaucoma and uveitis. Early postoperative follow-up is very important. Presence of anterior chamber ointment is a rare complication after cataract surgery, but it can lead to severe vision loss if not detected and treated on time. When patients complain of foreign body sensation in the in the eye after cataract surgery, ophthalmologists need to take a kin interest and examine the eye for early detection of ointment for appropriate intervention and prevent further complications.
