BackgroundPatients with depressive episode and schizophrenia have a high risk of suicide. The sleep electroencephalogram power spectral density characteristics of patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior and those with schizophrenia may be different， but there is currently a lack of direct comparative studies on these two groups of patients. ObjectiveTo compare the sleep electroencephalogram power spectral density between depressive episode and schizophrenic patients with suicidal behavior， in order to provide references for exploring predictive indicators of suicidal behavior. MethodsFrom June 2018 to December 2020， 20 patients with depressive episode and 20 patients with schizophrenia who had committed suicide within the past month and were treated at the outpatient department of Shenzhen Kangning Hospital were selected. All of them met the diagnostic criteria for depressive episode or schizophrenia as defined in the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）. Using a random sampling method， 20 volunteers with matching gender and age to the patient groups were selected from the Cuiping community in Shenzhen as the control group. The subjective sleep of the patients was evaluated using the Insomnia Severity Index （ISI）， the Dysfunctional Belief and Attitude about Sleep （DBAS）， the Disturbing Dreams and Nightmare Severity Index （DDNSI）， and the Epworth Somnolence Scale （ESS）. The objective sleep of the patients was assessed using polysomnography. The sleep electroencephalogram was filtered and the power spectral density of the brain wave was analyzed and processed for all the subjects. The subjective and objective sleep conditions of the two patient groups were compared， and the sleep electroencephalogram power spectral density of the patient groups and the control group were also compared. ResultsA comparison of subjective and objective sleep conditions between patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior and patients with schizophrenia accompanied by suicidal behavior showed no statistically significant differences （P>0.05）. Comparisons of sleep electroencephalogram power spectral density in the W stage （average power of α wave， total power of δ wave， average power of δ wave， average power of θ wave）， N1 stage （average power of β wave， total power of α wave， total power of δ wave）， N2 stage （total power of α wave， average power of α wave， total power of δ wave， average power of δ wave）， N3 stage （average power of α wave， average power of δ wave）， and R stage （total power of α wave， average power of α wave， total power of δ wave， average power of δ wave） between patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior， patients with schizophrenia accompanied by suicidal behavior， and the control group showed statistically significant differences （P<0.05 or 0.01）. The total power of δ wave in the W stage and the average power of β wave and δ wave in the N1 stage were higher in two patient groups were higher than those of the control group. The total power of α wave and the average power of α wave in the N2 stage were lower than those of the control group， while the average power of δ wave was higher than that of the control group. The average power of α wave in the N3 stage of both patient groups were lower than that of the control group， while the average power of δ wave was higher than that of the control group. The total power and average power of α wave in the R stage were lower than those of the control group， while the total power and average power of δ wave were higher than those of the control group. All the differences were statistically significant. Patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior had higher average powers of α wave， δ wave， and θ wave in the W stage compared with the control group， while the total power of α wave in the N1 stage was lower in the former group. All these differences were statistically significant （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe depressive episode patients accompanied by suicidal behavior have highly overlapping sleep electroencephalogram abnormal patterns with those of schizophrenia patients， mainly manifested as a general decrease in α wave power （N2， N3， R stage） and a general increase in δ wave power （W， N1， N2， N3， R stage） as well as β wave power in N1 stage. At the same time， patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior also show specific changes， including an increase in the average power of α and θ waves during the wakefulness period （W stage）， and a decrease in the total power of α wave in N1 stage. ［Funded by Guangdong Province High-level Clinical Key Specialty （with supporting funds from Shenzhen City） （number， SZGSP013）； Shenzhen Key Medical Discipline （number， SZXK041）； Shenzhen Clinical Medicine Research Center Project （number， 20210617155253001）］

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） is a chronic liver disease closely related to metabolic dysfunction. Its global prevalence is increasing year by year and shows a trend toward younger onset. It is closely associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， chronic kidney disease， and extrahepatic malignant tumors， and has become a major public health problem affecting the health of the Chinese population. At present， the treatment of MAFLD mainly focuses on lifestyle intervention. When metabolic cardiovascular risk factors and liver injury are present， pharmacological intervention is required. However， there is still no specific drug therapy for MAFLD. In recent years， many studies have found that the pathogenesis of MAFLD involves interactions among multiple factors， including insulin resistance， oxidative stress， endoplasmic reticulum stress， programmed cell death， immune dysregulation， inflammasomes， gut microbiota imbalance， and bile acid metabolism. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has advantages in integrated regulation with multiple components and multiple targets， and shows significant efficacy in the treatment of MAFLD. Active components of Chinese medicinal herbs and Chinese medicine compound formulas exert definite therapeutic effects by regulating multiple signaling pathways to improve lipid metabolism disorders， inhibit inflammatory responses， and regulate the gut microbiota， thereby effectively improving clinical symptoms and delaying the occurrence and development of MAFLD. Therefore， strengthening research on the mechanisms of action of TCM in MAFLD is of crucial importance and significance for its treatment. This article summarizes the mechanisms by which Chinese medicine monomers and compound formulas intervene in MAFLD through the regulation of related signaling pathways， based on the retrieval and analysis of relevant literature from multiple databases， with the aim of providing theoretical support and a reference basis for the clinical application of TCM in the treatment of MAFLD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of chronic hypoxic exposure on lipid metabolism in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis mice via transcriptomic analysis. MethodsMale C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3 groups： Control group （normal diet）， metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis group （MASH， high-fat diet）， hypoxic metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis group （CH-MASH， high-fat diet）. After 12 weeks， CH-MASH was given hypoxia intervention （altitude=3 800 m） for 4 weeks. Differentially expressed genes in the livers of mice from the three groups were identified using transcriptome sequencing， followed by GO and KEGG analyses. A protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed to screen hub genes. Serum triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， and liver function parameters were measured， and hepatic histomorphological changes were observed by HE staining. ResultsSerum TG and TC significantly increased in MASH group and CH-MASH group compared with Control group. Compared to MASH group， serum TG and TC obviously increased in CH-MASH. HE staining suggested that the lipid level of CH-MASH was reduced compared with MASH. Liver transcriptomes differed markedly between CH-MASH and MASH mice. A total of 1 005 differentially expressed genes were screened. A total of 1 151 significantly enriched GO terms were obtained including extracellular regions， intrinsic components of membranes， lipid metabolism processes， small molecule metabolism processes， and small molecule synthesis processes KEGG enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were enriched in 41 pathways， including metabolic pathway， retinol metabolic pathway， PPAR signaling pathway， sterol synthesis pathway etc. In the screening protein interaction network， the closely connected genes related to lipid metabolism under hypoxia were Acaca， Hmgcs1， Acat2， Cyp51和Msmo1. The results of RT-qPCR were consistent. ConclusionChronic hypoxia significantly alters liver lipid metabolism transcription levels in MASH mice. The key genes and pathways screened in this study provide clues for further research on the mechanism of hypoxia exposure affecting liver metabolic changes in MASH mice.

Introducing fingerprint level 3 features(especially sweat pores)in fingerprint recognition can significantly improve the value of fingerprints.However,conventional fingerprint visualization methods suffer from issues such as poor stability and reproducibility,insufficient resolution,and feature masking in detecting level 3 features.Electrospun membrane has unique advantages in latent fingerprint(LFP)detection due to its excellent adsorption performance and high specific surface area,and thus its application potential in LFP visualization urgently need to be explored.A novel pore visualization method based on core-shell structured PAN-Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane was proposed in this work.Specifically,the PAN-Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane was prepared via coaxial electrospinning technology,with polyacrylonitrile(PAN)loaded with fluorescein(Flu)as the core and polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)as the shell.The experimental results showed that the prepared PAN Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane had a porous structure and excellent adsorption performance.Based on the water solubility of the outer shell PVP and the water induced fluorescence enhancement effect of the core Flu,high-resolution visualization of sweat pores could be achieved within 2 s.The optimization experiment showed that the best quality of sweat latent fingerprints was obtained when the Flu content was 4 mg/mL,the spinning time was 1 h,and the sweating time was 2 min.Through repeated fingerprinting and live fingerprint comparison experiment,the strong stability and high reproducibility of the as-produced membrane in displaying fingerprint sweat pores were finally verified.In summary,the development method could quickly,stably and accurately extract the spatial distribution and activity level of fingerprint sweat pores,which was of great significance for improving the utilization and value of fingerprints.

Objective:To investigate the effect of FOXQ1 expression on chemoresistance in colorectal cancer and analyze its regulatory role in SIRT1 expression and p53 deacetylation under DNA damage response(DDR)condi-tions.Methods:qRT-PCR was used to detect FOXQ1 mRNA expression levels in SW620 cells and SW620 cells stimulated with cisplatin(CDDP).Lentiviral vectors were constructed for FOXQ1 overexpression and RNA interference.The cells were divided into three groups:FOXQ1 overexpression group(oe-FOXQ1),FOXQ1 RNA interference group(sh-FOXQ1),and a control group transfected with an empty vector(NC).The half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)of CDDP in each group was determined using the CCK-8 assay.Apoptosis level and cell viability were assessed using the Annexin V-APC/7-ADD apoptosis detection kit and Calcein/PI staining.Western blot analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of FOXQ1 on SIRT1 expression and acetylated p53 levels.The SIRT1 pathway inhibitor(S)-Selisi-stat was introduced to observe changes in p53 acetylation levels.Results:Compared to normal colon tissues,FOXQ1 expression was significantly upregulated in SW620 cells(P＜0.05),and low-dose CDDP stimulation further en-hanced its expression(P＜0.05).After 24 hours of CDDP treatment,the IC50 values for the oe-FOXQ1,sh-FOXQ1,and NC groups were 58.3 μmol/L,36.4 μmol/L,and 43.7 μmol/L,respectively,with statistically significant differences among the groups(P＜0.05).Compared to the NC group,the oe-FOXQ1 group showed a decrease in late apoptotic cell count(P＜0.05),while the sh-FOXQ1 group exhibited an increase(P＜0.05).Cytotoxic fluorescence staining re-vealed that the proportion of cell death was lower in the oe-FOXQ1 group and higher in the sh-FOXQ1 group com-pared to the NC group(P＜0.05).Protein expression analysis showed that FOXQ1 and SIRT1 levels were higher in the oe-FOXQ1 group and lower in the sh-FOXQ1 group compared to the NC group(P＜0.05).FOXQ1 overexpression pro-moted p53 deacetylation,while the addition of the SIRT1 pathway inhibitor(S)-Selisistat restored p53 acetylation levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion:FOXQ1 promotes p53 deacetylation by upregulating SIRT1 expression,thereby inhibiting DDR-induced apoptosis.

Objective:To construct a decision tree model to predict the risk of breast cancer in patients with pathological nipple discharge.Methods:A total of 157 patients with pathological nipple discharge,who were diagnosed and treated at Weifang Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to April 2024 and met the inclusion criteria,were selected.A risk prediction model for concurrent breast cancer in patients with pathological nipple discharge was developed using Logistic regression analysis.A decision tree was then constructed,and the predictive performance of the model was assessed based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Re-sults:The incidence of concurrent breast cancer among patients with pathological nipple discharge was 24.2%.Accord-ing to the results of binary Logistic regression analysis,elevated CEA and CA 153 levels in nipple discharge,as well as bloody discharge,emerged as independent risk factors for the development of breast cancer in such patients(P<0.05).Based on these findings,a decision tree model was constructed to predict the risk of concurrent breast cancer in patients with pathological nipple discharge.The validation results showed that the Logistic regression model had an AUC value of 0.800,while the decision tree model achieved an AUC value of 0.889.Conclusions:The decision tree model,built upon the identified influencing factors,exhibits strong predictive power for the risk of developing concurrent breast can-cer in patients with pathological nipple discharge,thus facilitating more precise preoperative diagnoses by clinicians for these patients.

Objective:To screen for patients with mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) fusion gene-positive with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with AML with positive fusion genes, and report two cases with rare breakpoint sites.Methods:This study included 287 patients with AML (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia) admitted to the Hematology and Oncology Research Center of Harbin First Hospital from October 2021 to October 2023. The cohort involved 157 males and 130 females, with a median age of 48 years (range: 19-80 years). All 287 patients underwent screening for 56 fusion genes and chromosome karyotyping analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and RNA seq were further performed on patients with negative fusion genes but positive 11q23.3 chromosomal translocation. Patient observation indicators included remission, recurrence, and others.Results:Among the 287 patients with AML, 15 were positive for the MLL fusion gene, with a positivity rate of 5.2%. Among the 11 types of MLL fusion genes detected, the most prevalent fusion types were MLL-ENL (4 cases), MLL-ELL (4 cases), MLL-AF9 (3 cases), and MLL-AF6 (3 cases). Of the 15 patients with positive MLL fusion gene, 2 demonstrated negative fusion gene while exhibiting positive chromosome and FISH. RNA-seq testing in these two patients revealed an uncommon breakpoint in the MLL fusion gene and a novel breakpoint fusion site, respectively. Complete remission (CR) was achieved in 6 patients with positive MLL fusion genes during the first chemotherapy cycle. After two cycles, eight patients achieved CR, with 50% of them experiencing recurrence within 2 months.Conclusion:RNA seq technology is useful for screening fusion genes with unconventional or novel cleavage sites, and patients with positive MLL fusion genes demonstrated a poorer prognosis.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the current status of attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help in patients after gastrointestinal tumor surgery and to analyze their influencing factors.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 153 patients who underwent surgery at the Gastrointestinal Tumor Center of Peking University Cancer Hospital as study subjects. General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of Attitude Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) , Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, and General Self-Efficacy Scale were used to conduct the survey. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help and coping styles and self-efficacy in patients after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the factors influencing attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help in patients after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. A total of 153 questionnaires were distributed and 149 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 97.39% (149/153) .Results:The total ATSPPH-SF score of 149 patients with gastrointestinal tumor surgery was [16.00 (13.00, 19.00) ]. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that work status, seeking professional psychological help, and coping styles were the influencing factors on the attitude toward seeking professional psychological help in patients after gastrointestinal tumor surgery ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The level of attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help in patients after gastrointestinal tumor surgery is low and is influenced by a number of factors. Healthcare professionals can carry out individualized interventions for different patients, enhance absentee patients' disease knowledge, sense of self-worth, and encourage them to carry out professional psychological counseling and establish a positive coping style, so as to increase the initiative of patients to seek professional psychological help.
