BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behavior among adolescents has become a global public health concern. Anxiety and depression are considered key factors influencing NSSI behavior， while social support may play a protective role in alleviating emotional and behavioral issues. However， existing research has primarily focused on the direct impact of individual factors on NSSI behavior， with insufficient exploration of the combined effects of anxiety， depression and social support. ObjectiveTo investigate the direct effect of anxiety on NSSI， the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of social support in relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior， thus to provide references for the prevention and intervention of NSSI behavior among adolescents. MethodsIn February 2022， a total of 40 820 students in grades 7 to 12 across 10 middle schools in a district of Chengdu were selected as participants， and they were assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item （GAD-7）， Patient's Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， Social Support Scale for Urban Students （SSSUS） and Adolescent Self-Harm Scale （ASHS）. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations between scale scores among adolescents with NSSI behaviors. Mediation and moderation analyses were performed using Process 3.5 in SPSS， and the significance was tested with bootstrapping. The interaction was visualized by using simple slope analysis. ResultsAmong 34 534 （84.60%） valid respondents， 542 adolescents （1.57%） reported engaging in NSSI behavior. Significant differences in gender， GAD-7 scores， PHQ-9 scores， and SSSUS scores were observed between NSSI behavior group and non-NSSI group （χ²/t=62.889， 71.120， 94.365， -41.464， P<0.01）.Adolesents with NSSI showed positive correlations between GAD-7 scores and both ASHS and PHQ-9 scores （r=0.158， 0.166， P<0.01）. PHQ-9 scores were positively correlated with ASHS scores （r=0.364， P<0.01）， but negatively correlated with SSSUS scores （r=-0.290， P<0.01）. SSSUS scores were negatively correlated with ASHS scores （r=-0.247， P<0.01）. Depression partially mediated the relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior， with an effect size of 0.544 （95% CI： 0.162~0.944）， accounting for 35.79% of the total effect. Social support moderated the relationship between depression and NSSI bahavior， with an effect value of -0.082 （95% CI： -0.135~-0.029）. ConclusionAnxiety not only directly influences NSSI bahavior among adolescents， also indirectly exacerbates it through depression， while social support mitigates the impact of depression on NSSI behavior. ［Funded by Youth Project of National Natural Science Foundation of China （number， 82401812）； Project of Health Commission of Sichuan Province （number， 24LCYJPT18）］

Objective　To investigate the expression of neutrophil elastase (ELANE) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) under different infection states of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), and analyze the feasibility of ELANE as a diagnostic marker for MTB infection. Methods　PBMCs were isolated from peripheral blood of active tuberculosis patients (ATB), latent infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (LTBI) and healthy control (HC) Luanzhou People's Hospital, Hebei Province, February-November 2023 and cell RNA was extracted. After reversing into cDNA, the difference of ELANE mRNA level in PBMCs in each group was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The whole cell lysate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv was used to stimulate PBMCs in each group, and total RNA was extracted. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was also used to detect the expression differences of ELANE gene before and after cell stimulation in each group; these expression differences were analyzed for identifying the feasibility of ATB. Results　The expression of ELANE gene in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of ATB patients was significantly higher than that of LTBI and healthy individuals (t=4.550, P<0.001; t=4.540, P<0.001). ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve for ELANE differential diagnosis of ATB and LTBI, ATB and HC were 0.802 and 0.805, respectively. H37Rv whole cell lysate can upregulate the expression of ELANE gene in PBMCs of ATB patients, with a significant difference before and after stimulation (t=4.717, P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in ELANE gene expression in PBMCs of LTBI and HC populations before and after H37Rv bacterial lysate stimulation. Conclusion 　Compared with LTBI and healthy individuals, the expression level of ELANE mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of ATB was significantly upregulated; After stimulation with MTB whole cell lysate antigen, the expression level of ELANE in PBMCs of ATB population significantly increased. ELANE can serve as a diagnostic biomarker for active pulmonary tuberculosis to differentiate ATB from LTBI and healthy individuals.

Background::Breast cancer (BC) risk-stratification tools for Asian women that are highly accurate and can provide improved interpretation ability are lacking. We aimed to develop risk-stratification models to predict long- and short-term BC risk among Chinese women and to simultaneously rank potential non-experimental risk factors.Methods::The Breast Cancer Cohort Study in Chinese Women, a large ongoing prospective dynamic cohort study, includes 122,058 women aged 25-70 years old from the eastern part of China. We developed multiple machine-learning risk prediction models using parametric models (penalized logistic regression, bootstrap, and ensemble learning), which were the short-term ensemble penalized logistic regression (EPLR) risk prediction model and the ensemble penalized long-term (EPLT) risk prediction model to estimate BC risk. The models were assessed based on calibration and discrimination, and following this assessment, they were externally validated in new study participants from 2017 to 2020.Results::The AUC values of the short-term EPLR risk prediction model were 0.800 for the internal validation and 0.751 for the external validation set. For the long-term EPLT risk prediction model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.692 and 0.760 in internal and external validations, respectively. The net reclassification improvement index of the EPLT relative to the Gail and the Han Chinese Breast Cancer Prediction Model (HCBCP) models for external validation was 0.193 and 0.233, respectively, indicating that the EPLT model has higher classification accuracy.Conclusions::We developed the EPLR and EPLT models to screen populations with a high risk of developing BC. These can serve as useful tools to aid in risk-stratified screening and BC prevention.

Objective:To predict the 3-year cancer-specific survival(CSS)of patients with non-meta-static T3a renal cell carcinoma after surgery.Methods:A total of 336 patients with pathologically con-firmed T3a N0-1M0 renal cell carcinoma(RCC)who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Urology,Peking University Third Hospital from March 2013 to February 2021 were retrospectively collect-ed.The patients were randomly divided into a training cohort of 268 cases and an internal validation co-hort of 68 cases at an 4∶1 ratio.Using two-way Lasso regression,variables were selected to construct a nomogram for predicting the 3-year cancer-specific survival(CSS)of the patients with T3aN0-1M0 RCC.Performance assessment of the nomogram included evaluation of discrimination and calibration ability,as well as clinical utility using measures such as the concordance index(C-index),time-dependent area un-der the receiver operating characteristic curve[time-dependent area under the curve(AUC)],calibra-tion curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Risk stratification was determined based on the nomo-gram scores,and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank tests were employed to compare progres-sion-free survival(PFS)and cancer-specific survival(CSS)among the patients in the different risk groups.Results:Based on the Lasso regression screening results,the nomogram was constructed with five variables:tumor maximum diameter,histological grading,sarcomatoid differentiation,T3a feature,and lymph node metastasis.The baseline data of the training and validation sets showed no statistical differences(P＞0.05).The consistency indices of the column diagram were found to be 0.808(0.708-0.907)and 0.903(0.838-0.969)for the training and internal validation sets,respectively.The AUC values for 3-year cancer-specific survival were 0.843(0.725-0.961)and 0.923(0.844-1.002)for the two sets.Calibration curves of both sets demonstrated a high level of consistency between the actual CSS and predicted probability.The decision curve analysis(DCA)curves indicated that the column dia-gram had a favorable net benefit in clinical practice.A total of 336 patients were included in the study,with 35 cancer-specific deaths and 69 postoperative recurrences.According to the line chart,the patients were divided into low-risk group(scoring 0-117)and high-risk group(scoring 119-284).Within the low-risk group,there were 16 tumor-specific deaths out of 282 cases and 36 postoperative recurrences out of 282 cases.In the high-risk group,there were 19 tumor-specific deaths out of 54 cases and 33 post-operative recurrences out of 54 cases.There were significant differences in progression-free survival(PFS)and cancer-specific survival(CSS)between the low-risk and high-risk groups(P＜0.000 1).Conclusion:A nomogram model predicting the 3-year CSS of non-metastatic T3a renal cell carcinoma patients was successfully constructed and validated in this study.This nomogram can assist clinicians in accurately assessing the long-term prognosis of such patients.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a disease with a large potential population. Some cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are non-primary, preventable and curable at early stage, requiring long-term follow-up after surgery. Therefore, all-round and full-cycle management are necessary for primary hyperparathyroidism, which involves an enhancing focus on etiological prevention, early detection, prompt diagnosis, timely intervention, multi-disciplinary standardized diagnosis and treatment, and postoperative scientific management. Meanwhile, implementing a "12+5+1" multidisciplinary joint diagnosis and treatment model, along with a two-way referral model, to achieve the transition from a disease-oriented diagnostic and treatment model to a patient-oriented, all-round and full-cycle interdisciplinary management model. This management can reduce the incidence and recurrence rate of primary hyperparathyroidism, and related osteoporosis or osteopenia, fractures, nephrolithiasis, metastatic vascular calcification, and systemic abnormal migratory calcium deposits, improve the overall quality of life and prognosis of patients.

The incidence of parathyroid hyperfunction is high and its clinical manifestations are diverse. Some patients develop chest tightness and palpitations as the main discomfort, which may be caused by the hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia related to negative calcium balance and parathyroid hyperfunction. We report a case of 53 years old male with parathyroid hyperfunction who was diagnosed with osteoporosis before and received conventional regular supplementation of vitamin D and calcium supplements. However, his condition worsened and he developed chest tightness and palpitation. After 1 month of sufficient supplementation of calcium, the symptoms of chest tightness and palpitation disappeared completely. Then we continued to provide the patients enough vitamin D and calcium supplementation actively. After 1 year of follow-up, the patient's condition was stable. His discomfort of chest tightness and palpitation never recurred, and all the bone metabolism indicators returned to normal.
