Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.

Objective: To apply network analysis for exploring the relationship of maltreatment experiences and peer relationships with school bullying among middle school students, so as to provide empirical evidences for the development of targeted intervention programs. Methods: From March to April 2024, a total of 2 119 middle school students aged 12-18 in Shantou City were selected through stratified cluster random sampling. Self administered questionnaire was used to collect data on bullying experiences, maltreatment, and peer relationships. The Glasso network model was employed to estimate network structure. Results: The strongest edge in the network of maltreatment experiences, peer relationships and school bullying was the connecting line connecting peer acceptance and peer terrorized low self esteem (edge weight=0.59) among middle school students. The network faked fraudulent victimization was the most central node in the whole network (strength=7.98). The bridge symptoms of the network were sexual abuse, property bullying of others, relational bullying victimization, and verbal bullying of others, with the strongest bridge node being sexual abuse (bridge strength=1.07). In the accuracy estimation of centrality indices, closeness centrality demonstrated the highest accuracy, followed by strength and betweenness, with coefficient of stability of 0.60, 0.44 and 0.21, respectively. The stability of the network was good. Conclusion Peer acceptance has the strongest correlation with peer fear and inferiority, and is closely related to emotional abuse and emotional neglect.

Autophagy is a fundamental biological metabolic process involved in immune defense, material metabolism, and homeostasis and closely linked to immune regulation. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a widespread connective tissue disorder primarily resulting from immune system imbalance. Due to the immune system's failure to recognize its own substances, it generates autoantibodies that can affect various tissues and organs, leading to diverse clinical manifestations. The pathogenesis and treatment of SLE are currently under extensive investigation. In normal metabolic processes, autophagy engages in both innate and adaptive immunity, regulates the immune response, and is crucial for maintaining normal immune function and the body's internal homeostasis. Research has indicated that SLE patients exhibit immune dysfunction and altered autophagy levels. Modulating autophagy expression can influence immune system functionality and alleviate SLE symptoms. Additionally, autophagy aids in the innate immune response and adaptive immunity by clearing metabolites and regulating the life cycle of immune cells. Studies suggest that drugs targeting autophagy can positively influence the progression of SLE. This article reviews advancements in research regarding the impact of autophagy on the pathogenesis of SLE through the regulation of immune system functions.

Depression is increasingly prevalent among adolescents and can profoundly impact their lives. However, the early detection of depression is often hindered by the time-consuming diagnostic process and the absence of objective biomarkers. In this study, we propose a novel approach for depression detection based on an affective brain-computer interface (aBCI) and the resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG). By fusing EEG features associated with both emotional and resting states, our method captures comprehensive depression-related information. The final depression detection model, derived through decision fusion with multiple independent models, further enhances detection efficacy. Our experiments involved 40 adolescents with depression and 40 matched controls. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 86.54% on cross-validation and 88.20% on the independent test set, demonstrating the efficiency of multimodal fusion. In addition, further analysis revealed distinct brain activity patterns between the two groups across different modalities. These findings hold promise for new directions in depression detection and intervention.

Objective To explore the impact of mindful diet intervention on dietary behaviors,body composition,and mindfulness levels in overweight/obese children.Methods A total of 74 over-weight/obese children who sought treatment at a tertiary-level hospital in Hunan Province were selected as study subjects.They were randomly divided into experimental group and control group using the random number table method,with 37 cases in each group.The control group implemented a conven-tional body weight management program,while the experimental group received mindful diet interven-tion in addition to the conventional program.Changes in body mass index(BMI),body fat percent-age,visceral fat area,dietary behaviors,and mindfulness levels were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results Before intervention,there were no statistically signifi-cant differences in general information,body composition,dietary behaviors,and mindfulness levels between the two groups(P＞0.05).After 8 weeks of intervention,the BMI,body fat percentage,and visceral fat area of children in both groups were lower than those before intervention.The scores for e-motional diet,restrictive diet,and external diet were also lower than those before intervention,while the mindfulness levels were higher than those before intervention,with statistically significant differ-ences(P＜0.05).The experimental group showed better results than the control group in terms of BMI,body fat percentage,visceral fat area,scores for emotional diet,restrictive diet,and external di-et,as well as mindfulness levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion Mindful diet intervention can effectively improve dietary behaviors,reduce body fat percentage and visceral fat area,and enhance mindfulness levels in overweight/obese children.

Objective The ketogenic diet(KD)is a dietary intervention with potential therapeu-tic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS),yet the existing evidence remains controversial.Fur-thermore,there is a lack of evidence-based medicine data for a comprehensive assessment of the safety of KD in the treatment of PCOS.This study aims to systematically evaluate,through a meta-analysis,the effects of KD on body composition,metabolic indicators,and reproductive hormone levels in over-weight/obese patients with PCOS,and to explore its safety and clinical applicability.Methods This study systematically searched PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Database,and VIP Database.Randomized controlled trials(RCT)on KD for the treatment of PCOS were included,with the search time frame spanning from the establishment of each database to May 31,2025.Two researchers independently screened and extracted data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,and assessed the quality of the in-cluded literature using the Cochrane Handbook.The Q-test and inconsistency index(I2)were used to evaluate the heterogeneity of the results.Based on the level of heterogeneity,a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model was selected for data pooling.Sensitivity analysis was employed to explore the robustness of the results.Results A total of 7 RCT studies involving 495 overweight/obese subjects were included in this study.Body composition analysis revealed that,compared with the control group,KD significantly reduced body mass index,body weight,waist circumference,waist-to-hip ra-tio,total fat mass,and visceral fat area in overweight/obese patients with PCOS(P＜0.05),but had no significant effect on fat-free mass.Analysis of glucose and lipid metabolism indicated that KD sig-nificantly decreased fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,insulin resistance index,and triglycerides(P＜0.05),but had no significant impacts on total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.Reproductive hormone analysis showed that KD significantly reduced luteinizing hormone,the ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone,and total testosterone levels,while significantly increased sex hormone-binding globulin levels(P＜0.05),but had no significant effect on follicle-stimulating hormone.Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results were relatively robust.In terms of safety,no serious adverse reactions were observed during the KD intervention;however,further verification through high-quality RCTs with larger sample sizes and long-term interventions is still required.Conclusion KD can effectively improve body composition,glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism indicators,and reproductive hormone levels in overweight/obese patients with PCOS.This study confirms that KD significantly increase sex hormone-binding globulin level and reduce visceral fat area.It is found that KD has a more pronounced effect on impro-ving triglycerides compared to its effects on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipo-protein cholesterol.The current evidence does not indicate significant safety risks associated with KD,but relevant conclusions still require further confirmation with more high-quality evidence.

Objective:To investigate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on energy metabolism and thermal balance in ICU patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:This study was a prospective observational study, which included AKI patients who underwent CRRT in ICU of the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from May 2020 to December 2023. The patients' general clinical characteristics, comorbidities, body temperature, disease severity score, CRRT treatment time and filter lifespan were recorded. The concentrations of glucose and lactate in blood and ultrafiltrate, and the citrate level in the ultrafiltrate when regional citrate anticoagulation adopted were analyzed regularly. Subgroup analysis was carried out according to different anticoagulation modes and whether the patients with diabetes or shock. The changes of energy metabolism and thermal balance corresponding to the changes in glucose, lactate, citrate and body temperature induced by CRRT were calculated daily.Results:This study included 420 AKI patients undergoing CRRT. When the blood lactate was between 14-18 mmol/L, there was a loss of approximately 200-250 kcal of energy per day, while the blood lactate was between 6.5-11.5 mmol/L, the daily corresponding energy loss was about 100-150 kcal. During CRRT on the first day, the patients with diabetes or shock had a mild decrease of blood glucose, while patients without diabetes and shock had mild increase of blood glucose. When the target of blood glucose was gradually achieved, the mean daily increase of energy corresponding to blood glucose intake was about 100-130 kcal in patients undergoing CRRT. The mean daily increase of energy corresponding to citrate intake was approximately 330 kcal, when the patient was undertaken by CRRT with regional citrate anticoagulation. For every 1℃ decrease in body temperature, the mean daily heat loss caused by extracorporeal thermal radiation during CRRT was about 200 kcal.Conclusions:When conducting nutritional assessment and prescription for AKI patients supported by CRRT in the ICU, it is essential to fully consider the impact of CRRT on the patient's energy metabolism and heat balance. This includes the clearance of lactate, the balance of blood glucose, the intake of citrate, and the reduction in body temperature. Additionally, the type and stage of the disease, as well as individual differences, must be taken into account to achieve personalized nutritional assessment and precise implementation.

Objective:To investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of split liver transplantation (SLT) in clinical application.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. The clinical data of 203 consecutive SLT, 79 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and 1 298 whole liver transplantation (WLT) performed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2014 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred and three SLT liver grafts were obtained from 109 donors. One hundred and twenty-seven grafts were generated by in vitro splitting and 76 grafts were generated by in vivo splitting. There were 90 adult recipients and 113 pediatric recipients. According to time, SLT patients were divided into two groups: the early SLT group (40 cases, from July 2014 to December 2017) and the mature SLT technology group (163 cases, from January 2018 to July 2023). The survival of each group was analyzed and the main factors affecting the survival rate of SLT were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis.Results:The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3-, and 5-year were 74.58%, 71.47%, and 71.47% in the early SLT group, and 88.03%, 87.23%, and 87.23% in the mature SLT group, respectively. Survival rates in the mature SLT group were significantly higher than those in the early SLT group ( χ2=5.560, P=0.018). The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3- and 5-year were 93.41%, 93.41%, 89.95% in the LDLT group and 87.38%, 81.98%, 77.04% in the WLT group, respectively. There was no significant difference among the mature SLT group, the LDLT group and the WLT group ( χ2=4.016, P=0.134). Abdominal hemorrhage, infection, primary liver graft nonfunction,and portal vein thrombosis were the main causes of early postoperative death. Conclusion:SLT can achieve results comparable to those of WLT and LDLT in mature technology liver transplant centers, but it needs to go through a certain time learning curve.

Tumor immunotherapy occupies a pivotal position in the field of hematological malignancies.Chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)T-cell therapy has established a new therapeutic pattern for hematological immunotherapy and achieved satisfactory clinical results in the treatment of B-lineage hematological malignancies.However,CAR T-cell therapy has some limitations in the treatment of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia because of the presence of CAR T-cell fratricide,tumor cell contamination,T-cell aplasia,and other clinically relevant problems.Therefore,the current major challenge is overcoming the existing bottlenecks to optimize CAR-T therapy and improve its efficacy against T-ALL while improving the prognosis of patients.
