Objective To explore the prevalence of depressive symptoms in postoperative patients with ovarian cancer and to analyze its influencing factors from multiple dimensions, including clinical characteristics, psychological factors, and laboratory indicators. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, which enrolled 235 postoperative patients with ovarian cancer. Depressive status was assessed using the patient health questionnaire, and the demographic, pathological, and medical record data of the patients were collected using the generalized anxiety disorder scale, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, European organization for research and treatment of cancer quality of life questionnaire core 30, and ECOG performance status score. Peripheral blood tumor marker (CA125), routine blood test, lymphocyte subsets, and serum cytokine levels were measured. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results The prevalence of depression in postoperative patients with ovarian cancer was 39.15% (92/235). Univariate analysis showed that ECOG score ≥ 2 points, pain, anxiety, poor sleep quality, low quality of life, low life satisfaction, tumor recurrence, six or more cycles of chemotherapy, as well as higher levels of CA125, NLR, and NAR, and lower hemoglobin levels were significantly associated with depression (all P<0.05). Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety (OR=1.975, 95%CI: 1.231-3.170), sleep efficiency (OR=4.181, 95%CI: 1.211-14.43), sleep latency (OR=34.806, 95%CI: 4.258-284.542), ECOG performance status score, cognitive function (OR=0.918, 95%CI: 0.868-0.97), and life satisfaction were independent risk factors for depression (all P<0.05). Laboratory indicators were not independent influencing factors in the multivariate Logistic regression model. Conclusion Depression in postoperative patients with ovarian cancer is influenced by physiological, psychological, and social factors. Clinical management should focus on patients with anxiety, sleep disorders, poor physical condition, and low life satisfaction, and a comprehensive prevention and treatment strategy centered on psychological intervention and taking into account symptom management and social support should be implemented.

To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen, kidney essence deficiency, liver constraint transforming into fire, and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen (TE 21), Tinggong (SI 19), Tinghui (GB 2), Shenmai (BL 62) to regulate qi and blood, and supporting with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Taichong (LR 3), and Yanglingquan (GB 34) to soothe the liver, resolve constraint, and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction (益气聪明汤) and Tongqi Powder (通气散), and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder (温清散) to navel moxibustion.

Constipation,a common functional gastrointestinal disorder,not only severely impairs patients'quality of life but is also highly comorbid with psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression.Emerging evidence indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis is a critical link connecting these two disease states.On one hand,dysbiosis exacerbates constipation by affecting host metabolism and intestinal function;on the other,it plays a central role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders.This complex interaction is primarily mediated through the"microbiota-gut-brain axis."Therefore,elucidating the intrinsic relationship among anxiety,depression,gut microbiota,and constipation has become a frontier of interdisciplinary research.

Objective To investigate the function of the glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2(GOT2)gene in acute myeloid leukemia cells.Methods ShRNAs targeting at GOT2 were constructed to suppress GOT2 expression in the THP-1 human monocytic leukemia cell line.GOT2 mRNA level was measured by RT-qPCR,and GOT2 protein ex-pression was measured by Western blot.Intracellular free amino acid level was quantified using colorimetric assays.The impact of GOT2 knockdown in THP-1 cell function was evaluated through cell viability(CCK-8 assay)and ap-optosis(flow cytometry).Results After GOT2 knockdown,both GOT2 mRNA and protein were significantly de-creased in THP-1 cells(P<0.05).Compared to the control group,GOT2 knockdown did not affect intracellular glutamate levels(P>0.05),but led to a marked decrease in aspartate level(P<0.05).GOT2 knockdown signifi-cantly impaired THP-1 cell viability,inhibited cell proliferation(P<0.05)and promoted apoptosis(P<0.05).Conclusions Down regulation of GOT2 significantly decreases intracellular aspartate level in acute myeloid leukemia cells,impairs cellular viability and induces apoptosis,which suggests that GOT2 may play a key role in the regula-tion of amino acid metabolism in acute myeloid leukemia.

Objective:To explore the application value of the "Dual-Wing" traction technique in the medial & head lateral laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with radical resection.Methods:The "Dual-Wing " traction technique is based on the theory of mesenteric anatomy. The assistant lifts the proper mesentery of the digestive tract to be resected or the adjacent mesenteric tissue connected to it,thereby elevating the target organ and its mesentery as a whole away from the mesenteric bed. By utilizing the tension transmission between the proper mesenteries of adjacent organs to create counter-tension,the surgeon's operative actions are always maintained along the line of maximum counter-tension.After incising the mesenteric fusion line,this technique assists the surgeon in entering the fusion plane. A descriptive case series study method was adopted to retrospectively analyze the clinical and pathological data of 37 colorectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with the "Dual-Wing" traction technique via a medial and cephalad approach, performed by the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Dongjie Campus of the First Hospital of Quanzhou, Fujian Medical University, from May 2023 to November 2023.Results:All patients successfully underwent laparoscopic left hemicolectomy via the medial & head lateral approach using the "Dual-Wing" traction technique.The surgery adhered to the principles of total mesocolic excision and safely mobilized the left colon and its mesentery from the correct anatomical plane. In the entire group of patients,there were 14 males and 23 females; the mean operative time was 94.1±18.3 minutes; the mean intraoperative blood loss was 9.8±5.4 ml; the mean number of lymph nodes dissected was 18.1±3.9; the mean number of positive lymph nodes was 1.4±1.6; the pathological specimen resection margin grading was Grade A in 29 cases, Grade B in 8 cases, and no Grade C cases; the tumor TNM staging was Stage I in 3 cases, Stage IIA in 7 cases, Stage IIB in 6 cases, Stage IIIA in 2 cases, Stage IIIB in 15 cases, and Stage IIIC in 4 cases; the mean time to first flatus postoperatively was 35.7±7.5 hours; the mean length of hospital stay was 9.1±1.7 days. There were no intraoperative injuries to the pancreas or spleen. Postoperative complications occurred in 3 cases. No anastomotic leakage was observed in the entire group, and there were no deaths following the surgery.Conclusion:The application of the "Dual-Wing" traction technique to establish a stable surgical scenario can significantly reduce the demands on the assistant. It is conducive to maintaining mesenteric tension and fully exposing the surgical field. It also allows for the rapid identification and maintenance of the correct anatomical plane. For colorectal cancer patients, the surgery is safe and feasible, with satisfactory short-term therapeutic effects.
