Binge eating disorder(BED)is a common eating disorder whose pathogenesis involves both neurobiological and psychological mechanisms.At the neurobiological level,the development of BED is associated with abnormal resting-state brain functional connectivity in the reward circuitry,dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system,and elevated leptin levels.This paper reveals that the neurobiological mechanisms of BED may influence psychological processes,including habitual behavioral imbalances and impaired emotion regulation.Conversely,the dysfunction of behavior in the psychological domain may further modulate neurobiological manifestations.This finding provides insights for future research aimed at systematically integrating neural mechanisms into clinical interventions,ultimately facilitating treatment advancement and prognostic improvement.

Alexithymia refers to a deficiency of emotional structure, but the neurologic and psychological mechanisms of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents are still unclear. The neural basis of alexithymia may play a role in adolescents′ NSSI by affecting the function of emotion regulation and emotion expression. At the same time, NSSI is also considered to be a non-adaptive emotional regulation mode for alexithymia individuals, which interacts with personality factors and psychosocial factors. This study explored the neuropsychological mechanism of alexithymia in adolescent NSSI from the perspective of emotional function, and provided theoretical basis for early identification and precise intervention of alexithymia and adolescent NSSI.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of six kinds of commonly used traditional Chi-nese medicine combined with mesalazine in the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC)based on frequency statis-tical network meta-analysis.Methods Randomized controlled trials(RCT)of oral Chinese medicine for the treatment of UC were searched from the establishment of the database to June 2024 of PubMed,CNKI,Wan-fang,VIP,Sinomed and other databases.The quality of the included literatures was evaluated by Cochrane bias risk assessment tool,and the data were statistically analyzed by Stata MP17.0 software.Results A total of 24 RCTs involving 1 939 patients were included,involving 6 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese pa-tent medicine,including 4 macro and micro outcome indicators.In terms of improving the total clinical effec-tive rate,Shaoyao decoction,Gancao Xiexin decoction,Huangqin decoction granule,Baitouweng decoction,Kangfuxin liquid,Shenlingbaizhu powder+mesalazine were all superior to using mesalazine alone,and Kang-fuxin liquid+mesalazine had the best effect(P<0.05).In terms of down-regulation of interleukin(IL)-6 expression in colonic mucosa,Shaoyao decoction,Gancao Xiexin Decoction,Huangqin Decoction granules,Pul-satilla decoction,Kangfuxin Liquid+mesalazine were better than using mesalazine alone,and Pulsatilla De-coction+mesalazine had the best effect on reducing IL-6(P<0.05).In terms of down-regulation of colonic mucosal tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α expression,Shaoyao decoction,Gancao Xiexin decoction,Huangqin decoction granule,Baitouweng decoction,Shenlingbaizhu decoction+mesalazine was better than using me-salazine alone,and Gancao Xiexin decoction+mesalazine had the best effect(P<0.05).In terms of down-regulation of IL-10 expression in colonic mucosa,Pulsatilla decoction+mesalazine was better than mesalazine alone(P<0.05).Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine combined with mesalazine could alleviate the clin-ical symptoms of UC patients,improve inflammatory factor indicators,eliminate inflammation,and show a better treatment effect for UC than mesalazine used alone.

Objective:To explore the effects of different titanium(Ti)surfaces on mitochondria metabolism and polarization of mac-rophages.Methods:The anodic oxidation method prepared nanotubes with distinct morphologies(NT5 and NT20 groups)on smooth titanium surfaces(P group)were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).After 24 hours of culturing RAW264.7 cells on the samples,SEM was employed to observe the morphology of the cells of all groups.Levels of mitochondria ATP and ROS,as well as the activity of hexokinase(HK),were measured by fluorescence probes and luciferase assays.The expression of iNOS,Arg-1,TNF-α and CD206 mRNA was evaluated by RT-qPCR.Changes in mitochondria metabolism and macrophage polarization were studied following inhibition of cellular glycolysis by using 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG)in groups P*and NT20*.Results:Compared with the P group,the NT5 group showed no significant changes in mitochondria ATP,ROS levels and HK activity,but an upregula-tion in M2-associated gene expression was observed.In the NT20 group,mitochondria ATP and ROS levels were increased,HK ac-tivity was elevated,and M1-associated gene expression was upregulated.After glycolysis inhibition,there was no significant differ-ence in mitochondria ATP,ROS levels,HK activity and polarization-related gene expression levels between the P*and NT20*groups compared with the P group.Conclusion:Large-diameter nanotubes may promote macrophage M1 polarization by regulating the metabolic reprogramming that occurs in macrophage mitochondria.

Particle size and surface properties are crucial for lymphatic drainage (LN), dendritic cell (DC) uptake, DC maturation, and antigen cross-presentation induced by nanovaccine injection, which lead to an effective cell-mediated immune response. However, the manner in which the particle size and surface properties of vaccine carriers such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) affect this immune response is unknown. We prepared 50, 100, and 200 nm of MSNs that adsorbed ovalbumin antigen (OVA) while modifying β-glucan to enhance immunogenicity. The results revealed that these MSNs with different particle sizes were just as efficient in vitro, and MSNs with β-glucan modification demonstrated higher efficacy. However, the in vivo results indicated that MSNs with smaller particle sizes have stronger lymphatic targeting efficiency and a greater ability to promote the maturation of DCs. The results also indicate that β-glucan-modified MSN, with a particle size of ∼100 nm, has a great potential as a vaccine delivery vehicle and immune adjuvant and offers a novel approach for the delivery of multiple therapeutic agents that target other lymph-mediated diseases.

Objective To explore and implement a differentiated management strategy for multi-campus hospitals to improve patient experience and satisfaction,and achieve the goal of homogenized management.Methods In December 2021,the Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire was used to survey the patient experience at 3 campuses of a tertiary A hospital in Hangzhou,and the reasons for the differences were analyzed.Based on policy document reviews,special group discussions,and expert meetings,differentiated management strategy for multi-campus hospitals was formulated.The patient experience and satisfaction before(December 2021)and after(December 2023)the implementation were compared.Results After the application of the one-hospital multi-campus difference management strategy,the overall medical experience score of the patients in the 3 campus was(58.54±2.36)points,which was higher than(58.13±3.24)points before the application(t=-3.223,P=0.001),and there was no statistically significant differences among the patients in the 3 campuses(F=0.781,P=0.458).After the application of the management strategy,the overall satisfaction score of the patients in the 3 campus was(98.44±6.22)points,which was higher than(97.98±6.87)points before the application of the management strategy(t=-2.490,P=0.013),and there was no statistical significance among the patients in the 3 campus(F=1.128,P=0.324).The number of banners and letters of commendation received by the 3 campuses increased from 1 661 before the application to 2 190 after the application,with a growth rate of 31.85%.Conclusion Differentiated management in a multi-campus hospital,aiming at homogenized quality through differentiated strategies,is practicable and can significantly improve the patient experience and satisfaction across different campuses.
