Objective: To explore the effects of personality and sleep quality with psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents, so as to provide a reference basis for precise interventions of junior and senior high school students mental health. Methods: In October 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 9 034 students aged 12-17 from Shiyan City as the study subjects. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to collect information on sleep quality and psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Between group comparison was conducted by using t-test and Chi-square test. Generalized linear models were employed to analyze the interaction and joint effects of personality and sleep quality on psychological distress. Results: The generalized linear model analysis showed that the interaction between personality and sleep quality on psychological distress was statistically significant of junior and senior high school students(effect size=0.80, P <0.01). The general linear model analysis indicated that, after adjusting for variables such as age, gender, screen time, and daily sitting time with the extroverted and good sleep quality group as the reference, the introverted and poor sleep quality group had the largest mean difference in psychological distress scores (difference=0.51, P <0.05). When stratified by sleep quality, psychological distress scores were higher in the introverted and neutral personality groups with both poor and good sleep quality compared to the extroverted group (poor sleep quality: introverted difference=3.71, neutral difference=1.14; good sleep quality: introverted difference=2.23, neutral difference=0.57, all P < 0.05). When stratified by personality, psychological distress scores were higher in the poor sleep quality groups for introverted, neutral, and extroverted individuals compared to their good sleep quality counterparts (differences=8.66, 7.83, 7.34, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Personality and sleep quality have interactive and joint effects on psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Personalized psychological interventions should be developed based on personality and sleep quality.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Shenqi Yangxin decoction in the treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy （ICM） with Qi and Yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome and its effect on serum hydrogen sulfide （H₂S） and calcium ion （Ca²⁺）. MethodsA total of 64 ICM patients with Qi and Yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a control group （n=32） and a treatment group （n=32）. All patients received conventional Western medicine treatment. The treatment group was additionally given Shenqi Yangxin decoction. The TCM syndrome score， Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire （MLHFQ） score， left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP）， 6-minute walk test （6MWT）， New York Heart Association （NYHA） cardiac function classification， and serum H₂S and Ca²⁺ levels were compared between the two groups pre- and post-treatment. ResultsTwo cases dropped out from each group during the study. Finally， 30 patients in each group were included in the analysis. There were no significant differences in age， gender， course of coronary heart disease， underlying diseases， and laboratory tests between the two groups. Compared with baseline， the TCM syndrome score， MLHFQ score， and NT-proBNP in both treatment group and control group decreased significantly （P<0.01）， LVEF， 6MWT， and H₂S increased significantly （P<0.01）， and serum Ca²⁺ increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the control group after treatment， the MLHFQ score and NT-proBNP in the treatment group decreased （P<0.05）， the TCM syndrome score decreased significantly （P<0.01）， LVEF， 6MWT， and serum Ca²⁺ increased （P<0.05）， and H₂S increased significantly （P<0.01）. The improvement degree of the NYHA cardiac function classification in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group， but there was no significant difference. ConclusionShenqi Yangxin decoction is effective in treating ICM patients with Qi and Yin deficiency and blood stasis， which could significantly improve cardiac function and quality of life， and its therapeutic effect may be related to the regulation of serum H₂S and Ca²⁺ levels.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and mechanism of Euphorbia humifusa on acute kidney injury （AKI） based on network pharmacology， molecular docking and experimental verification. MethodsThe active components and targets of E. humifusa were retrieved from TCMSP and SwissTargetPrediction database， and the AKI targets were screened by GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man（OMIM） databases. The drug targets and disease targets were intersected to construct a protein-protein interaction network， and the intersection targets were subjected to gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） enrichment analysis. Discover Studio software was used to verify the molecular docking of key components and core targets. Gentamicin （GM） was used to induce AKI rat model. Control group， model group， verapamil （16 mg·kg^-1） group， E. humifusa extract （18， 54， 162 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） group and E. humifusa 70% ethanol extract （423 mg·kg^-1） group were continuously administered for 14 days. Urine volume was detected 24 h after modeling and administration. Serum creatinine （SCr）， Blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， 24-hour urine protein （24 hUTP） and uric acid （UA） content； the contents of malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， carbon monoxide synthase （NOS） and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） in kidney were measured. The levels of interleukin （IL）-6 and tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） kit. The pathological changes of renal tissue were detected by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and Masson staining. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PI3K/protein kinase B（Akt）/NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins. ResultsIn this study， 13 active components such as kaempferol， luteolin， apigenin， gallic acid and quercetin were screened and identified from E. humifusa. Through bioinformatics analysis， these components and AKI have a total of 289 targets， of which 62 are core targets， including Akt1， TNF， tumor protein p53（TP53） and IL-1β. These targets are mainly involved in the regulation of biological processes such as NF-κB signaling pathway， HIF-1 signaling pathway， TNF signaling pathway， PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase（MAPK） signaling pathway. In animal experiments， we successfully constructed a GM-induced AKI model in rats. Compared with the model group， E. humifusa extract could significantly reduce the levels of 24 hUTP， BUN and SCr in rats （P<0.01）， indicating its improvement effect on renal function. In addition， the extract of E. humifusa also significantly reduced LDH activity and MDA content in rat kidney tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and significantly increased SOD， NOS activity and GSH content （P<0.05）， indicating that the extract of E. humifusa has the potential of anti-oxidation and protection of renal function. Further analysis of inflammatory factors showed that the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum of rats treated with E. humifusa extract were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， indicating that E. humifusa extract had anti-inflammatory effects. In addition， the extract of E. humifusa can also regulate the protein expression of PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway， which further confirmed its mechanism of reducing GM-induced AKI. ConclusionThe extract of E. humifusa has a significant therapeutic effect on acute kidney injury through its multi-component and multi-target mechanism. Its effect is reflected in improving renal function， anti-oxidation， anti-inflammation and regulating immune response. These findings provide a scientific basis for the application of E. humifusa in the treatment of acute kidney injury， and point out the direction for future drug development and clinical research.

ObjectiveTo analyze the incidence and spatiotemporal distribution of typhus fever in Baoshan City, Yunnan Province from 2005 to 2023, to identify high-risk populations and regions, so as to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the allocation of local prevention and control resources and developing targeted intervention measures. MethodsData of typhus fever cases in Baoshan City from 2005 to 2023 were obtained from the Infectious Disease Information Management System of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the temporal, spatial and demographic distribution of typhus fever cases. Spatial clustering was assessed using spatial dynamic window scan statistics (circular and elliptical windows), flexible spatial scan statistics, and local spatial autocorrelation methods (including local Moran’s I, local Geary’s C, and Getis-Ord G_i*). Retrospective spatiotemporal scan statistics were employed to detect spatiotemporal clusters. ResultsA total of 1 099 typhus fever cases were reported in Baoshan City from 2005 to 2023. The incidence rate peaked at 6.31/ 100 000 in 2007, followed by a decline until reaching its lowest level at 0.21/100 000 in 2015 , and subsequently rebounded during 2016‒2023. The highest proportion of cases was among children under 10 years of age (31.12%), and the top three occupations of cases were farmers, students, and children, accounting for 88.62% of all cases. Cases occurred predominantly between June and September each year. The incidence was relatively high in Jiucheng Town (62.58/100 000), Yaoguan Town (57.15/100 000), and Dianyang Town (46.81/100 000) of Shidian County. Spatial clustering analyses indicated that high-risk areas were mainly located in the southern part of Baoshan City, showing a south-to-north trend. Spatiotemporal scan analyses identified five clusters, with the most likely cluster centered around Yaoguan Town, covering ten towns (subdistricts) during the period 2007‒2010. ConclusionThe incidence of typhus fever in Baoshan City exhibits a clear seasonal and spatial clustering pattern, with peak incidence occurring in summer and autumn. Spatially, cases are primarily distributed in the southern part of Baoshan City, and high-risk clusters exhibit a south-to-north trend. Farmers, students, and children are the high-risk groups.

Objective To investigate the correlation between insulin resistance and interleukin-6 (IL-6), chemerin, total cholesterol (TC)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C ratio, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL-C ratio and insulin resistance in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to provide scientific basis for T2DM prevention and control. Methods A total of 355 obese T2DM patients in Songjiang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were selected from January 2021 to December 2023. IL-6, chemerin and lipids were detected, and the assessment of insulin resistance was conducted through the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Results Among the 355 obese T2DM patients, there were 280 cases of insulin resistance, with the incidence rate of 78.87%. The BMI, IL-6, chemerin, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C in the insulin resistance group were higher than those in the non-insulin resistance group (P<0.05). The above insulin resistant patients were divided into 4 subgroups by means of insulin resistance, and there were significant differences in BMI, IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C among the subgroups (P<0.05). IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C were positively correlated with HOMA-IR in obese T2DM patients (P<0.05), while TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C had no significant correlation with HOMA-IR (P>0.05). BMI, IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C were all influencing factors of insulin resistance in obese T2DM patients (P<0.05). Conclusion IL-6, chemerin and TG/HDL-C are correlated with insulin resistance in obese patients with T2DM and are influencing factors for the occurrence of insulin resistance.

Objective To establish an optimized diagnostic model for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),designated as G-GADA,in chronic hepatitis B(CHB)patients based on the parameters of age,sex,alpha-fetoprotein(AFP),des-γ-carboxy prothrombin(DCP),and Golgi protein 73(GP73),to address the problems of low sensitivity and specificity in the early diagnosis of hepatitis B virus(HBV)-related liver cancer,and to assess the value of this model in the diagnosis of HCC.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 201 CHB patients(CHB group),137 patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis(LC group),and 111 treatment-na?ve patients with newly diagnosed HCC(HCC group)who were admitted to Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University from June 2015 to June 2020.Serological markers(AFP,DCP,alpha-fetoprotein L3%[AFP-L3%],and GP73)were compared between groups and were analyzed in terms of their differences from the clinical and tumor characteristics of HCC patients,and the Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between different markers.A Logistic regression analysis was used to establish a diagnostic model for liver cancer,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to assess the diagnostic performance of each marker.Results Comparison of clinical features between CHB,LC,and HCC patients showed that HCC patients had significantly higher age,proportion of male patients,and serum levels of DCP,AFP,GP73,and AFP-L3%(all P<0.05).In HCC patients,DCP levels are associated with tumor size and microvascular invasion;AFP levels are related to patient age,tumor size,tumor number,distant metastasis,and microvascular invasion;AFP-L3%levels are associated with patient age,tumor size,tumor number,distant metastasis,Milan staging,and microvascular invasion;GP73 levels are linked to tumor number,distant metastasis,and microvascular invasion(all P<0.05).The correlation analysis of the serum markers showed a strong positive correlation between AFP and AFP-L3%(r=0.71,P<0.05)and a moderate positive correlation between AFP and GP73(r=0.33,P<0.05)and between AFP-L3%and GP73(r=0.41,P<0.05).Based on the features of age,sex,DCP,AFP,and GP73,the multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to establish a G-GADA diagnostic model for HCC,and for all patients,the G-GADA model had an area under the ROC curve(AUC)of 0.915(95%confidence interval[CI]:0.875-0.945)in the derivation cohort and 0.913(95%CI:0.862-0.950)in the validation cohort for the diagnosis of HCC.In the AFP-negative patients,the G-GADA model achieved an AUC of 0.884(95%CI:0.833-0.924)in the derivation cohort and 0.851(95%CI:0.779-0.907)in the validation cohort,and in the patients with liver cirrhosis,the G-GADA model achieved an AUC of 0.901(95%CI:0.841-0.944)in the derivation cohort and 0.885(95%CI:0.806-0.940)in the validation cohort.Conclusion The G-GADA diagnostic model based on multiple variables significantly improves the detection rate of HCC,and demonstrates superior diagnostic performance in patients with low AFP expression and those with liver cirrhosis.The G-GADA model has a better clinical application value in the noninvasive diagnosis of HCC.

Objective:To explore the genetic etiology of congenital solitary functioning kidney (CSFK).Methods:This retrospective study included 422 fetuses diagnosed with CSFK by prenatal ultrasound who underwent invasive prenatal genetic testing at Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between January 2015 and February 2023. These CSFK fetuses were classified into different subtypes (unilateral renal agenesis and unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney) and divided into the isolated group ( n=312) and the non-isolated group ( n=110) based on whether there were other associated abnormalities. The results of G-banding karyotyping, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and whole-exome sequencing (WES) among fetuses with different subtypes or from different groups were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test and rank-sum test. Results:(1) The median maternal age at the time of invasive prenatal diagnosis was 29 years (range: 18-43 years), and the median gestational age was 25 weeks (range: 17-34 weeks). Among the 422 cases, 234 underwent karyotyping and CMA, 63 underwent CMA and WES, and seven underwent all three tests. Therefore, karyotyping, CMA, and WES were completed in 257, 406, and 70 cases, respectively. (2) The detection rate of chromosomal abnormality by G-banding karyotyping was 1.6% (4/257). Among these four cases, CMA detected no abnormalities in one case with chromosomal mosaicism, while the CMA results were consistent with G-banding karyotyping in three cases with chromosomal structural rearrangements. (3) CMA results: The CNV detection was 8.9% (36/406), with 22 cases being classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic CNVs. Common CNV loci included 17q12 (five cases), 22q11.21 (five cases), and 16p11.2 (two cases). Fifteen cases (68.2%) were associated with microdeletion syndromes. Nineteen mothers opted for pregnancy termination, two continued the pregnancies, and one was lost to follow-up. (4) Among the 241 cases that underwent both G-banding karyotyping and CMA (including seven cases with all three tests), the positive rates for G-banding karyotyping and CMA were 1.7% (4/241) and 5.8% (14/241), respectively. Compared to G-banding karyotyping, CMA provided an additional diagnostic yield of 4.1% (10/241). (5) Among the 70 cases that underwent family-based WES, 26 (37.1%) showed abnormal results, including 12 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants and 14 variants of uncertain significance. The positive rateby WES was 17.1% (12/70). Six gene variants (mainly PKD1 and HNF1B variants) were associated with the CSFK phenotype, including five autosomal dominant and one autosomal recessive inheritance. Among the 12 WES-positive cases, six had heterozygous variants and six had compound heterozygous variants. Eight mothers chose to continue the pregnancy, two opted for termination, and two were lost to follow-up. (6) Among the 422 CSFK fetuses, 35 (8.3%) had genetic abnormalities. The highest genetic abnormality rate was observed in CSFK fetuses with isolated urinary system abnormalities (15.1%, 8/53), followed by those with additional non-urinary system abnormalities (12.3%, 7/57), and isolated CSFK fetuses (6.4%, 20/312). The differences among the three groups were statistically significant ( χ2=5.95, P=0.048), but no significant differences were found in pairwise comparisons. Conclusion:The primary genetic etiologies of CSFK fetuses include 17q12 microdeletion syndrome, 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome, and variants in the PKD1 and HNF1B genes.

Objective To investigate the association between body roundness index(BRI)and hyperuricemia(HUA)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 555 T2DM inpatients were selected from July 2022 to October 2023 in Gansu Province People's Hospital Endocrinology.According to BRI,the T2DM patients were divided into four group:low BRI(L-BRI,BRI≤3.579,n=140)group,moderate BRI(M-BRI,3.579

AIM:To investigated the mechanism of action of Yiqi tongfu xiere prescription(YTX)in treating mice with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-in-duced acute lung injury(ALI).METHODS:According to the random number table,24 C57BL/6 mice were divided into 4 groups:control group(Control),model group(LPS),low dose group(YTX-L)and high dose group(YTX-H).Except for the control group,the mice models of acute lung injury were established by intratracheal instillation of LPS solu-tion(5 mg/kg).The low and high dose treatment groups were given intragastric administration con-tinuously for 14 days.After 24 hours,the lung tis-sue,bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and serum of the four groups were taken for follow-up detec-tion.The degree of pulmonary edema was evaluat-ed by wet weight coefficient(wet to dry ratio,W/D)of lung tissue.The degree of alveolar inflamma-tion and pulmonary fibrosis were evaluated by HE and Masson staining,and the contents of BALF and serum inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 were detected by ELISA.The protein expressions of α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰ and Col-Ⅲ were measured by West-ern blot.Determination of α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰ,MAPK,NF-κB mRNA expression by RT-PCR method.RE-SULTS:Compared with LPS group,the contents of BALF,IL-1β and IL-6 in serum,Wmax D ratio,lung pathology,serum α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰ,Col-Ⅲ protein expression and α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰ,MAPK,NF-κB mRNA expression in treatment group were signifi-cantly lower than those in control group.CONCLU-SION:YTX can significantly reduce the levels of pul-monary fibrosis markers such as α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰand Col-Ⅲ by inhibiting the activation of MAPK/NF-κB signal pathway,and improve alveolar inflamma-tion and pulmonary fibrosis in mice with lung inju-ry,suggesting that YTX can treat acute lung injury and provide a theoretical basis for the clinical use of YTX.
