BackgroundFamily functioning is one of the factors influencing non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders. Previous studies have treated family functioning as a unitary construct, which may obscure the differential impacts of specific dimensions on NSSI behaviors. ObjectiveTo explore the relationships between various dimensions of family functioning and NSSI behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders, aiming to provide precise targets for family-based interventions for adolescents with depressive disorders who exhibit NSSI behaviors. MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 217 adolescent patients who were treated at the outpatient or inpatient department of The First Psychiatric Hospital of Harbin from January to July 2025 and met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorders as stipulated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) were included as the research subjects. Assessments included a self-designed questionnaire, the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17), and the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Univariate Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the association between each dimension of family functioning and the NSSI behaviors, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to test the independent effect of each dimension of family functioning on the NSSI behaviors. ResultsA total of 204 cases (94.01%) of adolescent patients with depressive disorders completed the valid questionnaire survey. Among them, 134 cases (65.69%) exhibited NSSI behaviors (NSSI group), and 70 cases (34.31%) did not exhibit NSSI behaviors (non-NSSI group). Compared with the non-NSSI group, the NSSI group had a higher HAMD-17 score [(20.97±7.50) vs. (17.79±6.95), t=8.705, P=0.004], a higher FAD total score [(155.68±21.84) vs. (148.87±22.72), t=4.348, P=0.038], and a higher problem-solving dimension score [(2.54±0.49) vs. (2.34±0.51), t=7.399, P=0.007]. All the differences were statistically significant. The results of the Logistic regression analysis showed that the FAD total score (OR=1.014, 95% CI: 1.001–1.028, P=0.041) and the problem-solving dimension score (OR=2.241, 95% CI: 1.228–4.090, P=0.009) were both risk factors for NSSI behaviors. After adjusting for gender, age, residence, educational level, monthly family income, and whether being an only child, the correlation between the FAD total score and NSSI behaviors was not statistically significant (OR=1.010, 95% CI: 0.995–1.025, P=0.185), while the correlation between the FAD problem-solving dimension score and NSSI behaviors remained statistically significant (OR=2.000, 95% CI: 1.028–3.889, P=0.041). ConclusionImpaired problem-solving capacity within family functioning may constitute a risk factor for NSSI behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders.

Background/Aims:
Natural killer (NK) cell function is generally considered dampened in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection; however, the NK cell pool exhibits phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, and the antibody--mediated effect of NK cells remains less characterized. This study evaluated the dynamic changes in antibody-mediated NK cell responses and the involvement of distinct NK subsets across disease stages and during antiviral treatment.
Methods:
A T-cell receptor-like antibody specific for the HBV core 18–27 peptide (cTCRL-Ab) was used to determine the antibody-mediated effect of NK cells, and an array of NK cell surface markers were analyzed in cross-sectional and longitudinal cohorts of patients with chronic HBV infection. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to identify the heterogeneity of NK subsets.
Results:
The cTCRL-Ab enabled the detection of NK cell cytolytic activity and IFNγ production. Notably, cTCRL-Ab-mediated NK cell responses were compromised in chronically HBV-infected patients, particularly in those receiving pegylated interferon-α (Peg-IFNα), which was associated with the downregulation of CD16 expression. Correspondingly, Peg-IFNα inhibited cTCRL-Ab-mediated NK cell function by reducing CD16 expression in vitro. scRNA-seq revealed that CD16 downregulation occurred mainly within a dysfunctional CD16hi NK subset exhibiting exhaustion properties. In contrast, an activated CD16hiNK subpopulation (CX3CR1⁺KLRC2–CD16hi) with high cytotoxicity was enriched in patients who experienced favorable treatment responses. Furthermore, the intrahepatic CX3CR1+KLRC2–CD16hi subset tended to exhibit functional restoration in HBsAg-loss individuals.
Conclusions
Our data contribute to the understanding of antibody-mediated responses of NK cells in chronic HBV infection, and highlight a previously unappreciated functional CX3CR1+KLRC2–CD16hiNK subset as a potential therapeutic target.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy,safety,and prognostic factors associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)in pa-tients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)comorbid with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods:Clinical and patholo-gical data were collected from 100 patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ NSCLC who received one or more cycles of ICI treatment at Peking University Shougang Hospital between January 2018 and October 2024 were collected.Based on COPD diagnosis,patients were assigned into the NSCLC with COPD(LC-COPD,n=52)and NSCLC without COPD(non-COPD,n=48)groups.The efficacy,safety,and prognostic factors of ICIs treatment were retrospectively analyzed in both groups.Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method,and survival rates were compared using the Log-rank test.Results:Among the patients who received ICIs treatment,median progression-free survival(PFS)in the LC-COPD group was longer than that in the non-COPD group(11.97 vs.7.83 months,P=0.022),but no significant difference was detec-ted in overall survival(OS)(22.37 vs.16.80 months,P=0.110).Compared with the LC-COPD group and patients with normal lung function,the preserved ratio impaired spirometry(PRISm)subgroup showed worse median PFS and OS following immunotherapy(all P<0.05).Multivari-ate analysis revealed that COPD comorbidity,programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1)expression,treatment line,and neutrophil to lympho-cyte ratio(NLR)were independently associated with PFS(P<0.05).Additionally,PD-L1 expression,immunotherapy efficacy,NLR,and inhaled corticosteroids(ICS)use were significantly associated with OS(P<0.05).The incidence of immune-related adverse events was comparable between the two groups.Conclusions:ICI treatment demonstrated a greater positive impact on PFS in patients with NSCLC and COPD than in patients with NSCLC alone in a real-world study,with a good safety profile in both groups.NSCLC patients with PRISm showed poorer out-comes following ICI treatment.PD-L1 expression,FeNO,NLR,and ICS may serve as potential predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy effic-acy in NSCLC patients with COPD.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is a kind of microvascular disease caused by the long-term influence of diabetes mellitus(DM),and it is one of the main cause of global visual impairment and blindness.Its typical characteristics include microaneurysms,hard exudates,macular edema(DME)and neovascularization.Its pathogenesis is diverse,and the root cause is oxidative stress and advanced glycosylation end products.The nuclear red blood cell related factor 2(Nrf2)signa-ling pathway plays an important role in preventing various diseases.As one of the characteristics of DM,hyperglycemia will activate the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in mitochondria.These oxidative stress factors activate the nucle-ar transcription factor κB pathway,becoming the main inducement of various complications of DM.This pathway will in-duce increased transcription of proinflammatory cytokines,including tumor necrosis factor-alpha,transforming growth fac-tor-beta and interleukin-1.The active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine have significant antioxidant,anti-inflam-matory,anti-apoptotic and angiogenesis-promoting effects,and can block the progression of DR through various mecha-nisms.In this article,the research status of traditional Chinese medicine targeting the Nrf2 signaling pathway in the preven-tion and treatment of DR is reviewed to guide clinical and scientific research.
