Objective To systematically evaluate the risk prediction models for anastomotic leakage (AL) in patients with esophageal cancer after surgery. Methods A computer-based search of PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed and CNKI was conducted to collect studies on postoperative AL risk prediction model for esophageal cancer from their inception to October 1st, 2023. PROBAST tool was employed to evaluate the bias risk and applicability of the model, and Stata 15 software was utilized for meta-analysis. Results A total of 19 literatures were included covering 25 AL risk prediction models and 7373 patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.670-0.960. Among them, 23 prediction models had a good prediction performance (AUC>0.7); 13 models were tested for calibration of the model; 1 model was externally validated, and 10 models were internally validated. Meta-analysis showed that hypoproteinemia (OR=9.362), postoperative pulmonary complications (OR=7.427), poor incision healing (OR=5.330), anastomosis type (OR=2.965), preoperative history of thoracoabdominal surgery (OR=3.181), preoperative diabetes mellitus (OR=2.445), preoperative cardiovascular disease (OR=3.260), preoperative neoadjuvant therapy (OR=2.977), preoperative respiratory disease (OR=4.744), surgery method (OR=4.312), American Society of Anesthesiologists score (OR=2.424) were predictors for AL after esophageal cancer surgery. Conclusion At present, the prediction model of AL risk in patients with esophageal cancer after surgery is in the development stage, and the overall research quality needs to be improved.

Objective:To examine the interaction between interpersonal issues and eating behavior problems among college freshmen, and to identify core psychological factors and potential pathways that drive eating behavior.Methods:In October 2019, a total of 5 073 college freshmen from a university in Shanghai were recruited as participants. Their general demographic data were collected, and they were evaluated using the eating disorder examination questionnaire 6.0 (EDE-Q 6.0) and inventory of interpersonal problems-32(IIP-32).Descriptive analyses were performed using SPSS 24.0 software.A regularized partial correlation network was constructed using the graphical least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (GLASSO) in R(v4.2.3) software. A Bayesian network analysis (BNA) was conducted to build a directed network, aiming to identify core driving factors and key psychological mechanisms.Results:Regularized partial correlation network identified shape concern as the most central node, with the highest strength centrality(1.32) and expected influence(1.20). It showed the highest bridge strength with dominance/control (0.22, 0.21), linking the interpersonal and eating behavior modules. Directed network analysis indicated that low self-confidence was the upstream node influencing social inhibition and cold/ distant relationships, indirectly affecting eating disorder.Within the eating module, shape concern and weight concern predicted eating preoccupation and dietary restraint, forming a pathway structure from eating cognition to behavior.The network demonstrated good stability (CS-coefficient=0.75).Conclusion:Shape concern is the core mechanism underlying eating problems in college freshmen. Low self-confidence contributes indirectly via interpersonal dysfunction. Dominance/control and shape concern bridge interpersonal and eating domains, providing key targets for early prevention and intervention.

Objective:To explore the impact of noise and dust exposure in the mechanical manufacturing industry on the risk of hypertension and abnormal electrocardiogram in workers, and their combined effects, in order to provide support for the prevention and treatment of occupational related diseases among workers.Methods:In January 2024, A convenience sampling method was used to study 2802 on-the-job workers who underwent occupational health check-ups from January 2023 to December 2023 at a machinery manufacturing enterprise in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. Blood pressure and electrocardiogram results were analyzed in the noise group, dust group, dust noise group and control group according to the exposure factors. For count data, the chi-square test was employed to analyze differences among groups. Additionally, a binary logistic regression model was utilized to assess the impact of dust and noise exposure on the prevalence of hypertension and electrocardiogram abnormalities.Results:The stratified analysis results showed that the differences in hypertension prevalence among the four groups were statistically significant ( P<0.001) in males, age groups >30-40 years, >40-50 years, >50 years, different exposure durations, and different enterprise sizes. For ECG abnormalities, significant differences were observed among the four groups ( P<0.001) in males, the age group >30-40 years, different enterprise sizes, and those with exposure durations ≤15 years. The trend test for hypertension prevalence across different age groups revealed that as age increased, the prevalence of hypertension showed an upward trend in the noise-exposed group, dust-exposed group, and combined dust-noise-exposed group ( χ2=10.76, 4.25, 6.60, P<0.001, 0.039, 0.010) . Binary regression model analyses revealed that the the risk of hypertension in the noise group, dust group and dust noise group was 2.63 times ( OR=2.63, 95% CI: 1.89~3.67, P<0.001) , 2.36 times ( OR=2.36, 95% CI: 1.76~3.16, P<0.001) and 2.69 times ( OR=2.69, 95% CI: 2.14~3.38, P<0.001) . Using ECG abnormalities as the dependent variable and incorporating the statistically significant variables from Table 1 as independent variables into the binary logistic regression model, the results showed no statistically significant differences in the risk of ECG abnormalities in the dust-exposed, noise-exposed, and combined dust-noise-exposed groups compared to the control group ( P> 0.05) . Conclusion:Combined exposure to dust and noise increases the risk of hypertension in workers and has a combined effect.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which electroacupuncture improves ocular surface inflammation in dry eye mice.Methods 30 SPF-grade healthy male ICR mice were randomly divided into a blank group,a model group,a sham electroacupuncture group,a western medicine group and an electroacupuncture group,with 6 mice in each group.Mice in the blank group and other four groups were subcutaneously injected 200 μL of sterile physiological saline and 200 μL of scopolamine hydrobromide(0.5 mg dissolved in 0.2 mL of sterile physiological saline)at 8:00,11:00,14:00,and 17:00 every day for 35 consecutive days,respectively.From the 22nd day,mice in the sham electroacupunc-ture group were given blunt scalp acupuncture intervention at bilateral Jingming and Taiyang points,without subcutaneous penetration.In the western medicine group,fluorometholone eye drops were applied to both eyes of the mice at 8:00,13:00,and 18:00 daily,with 1 drop each time.Mice in the electroacupuncture group were given electroacupuncture in-tervention,with the same acupoint location and acupuncture time as the sham electroacupuncture group.The electroacu-puncture frequency was 2 Hz/20 Hz,the waves were sparse-dense and the intensity was 1 mA,once a day for 15 min.All groups were intervened for 14 days.The corneal fluorescein(FL)staining scores of mice in each group were detected be-fore modeling,after modeling,and after intervention.The corneal tissue morphology was observed under a light micro-scope.Immunohistochemistry staining and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)and receptor for advanced glyca-tion end products(RAGE)in the cornea,respectively.Results The FL scores of mice in model,sham electroacupunc-ture,western medicine,and electroacupuncture groups all significantly increased after modeling and intervention,com-pared with those before modeling(all P＜0.01).The FL scores of mice in electroacupuncture and western medicine groups significantly decreased after intervention,compared with those after modeling(both P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,electroacupuncture and western medicine groups showed a significant drop in FL score after intervention(both P＜0.01).HE staining showed that after intervention,mice in electroacupuncture and western medicine groups had a basically normal number of corneal epithelial layers,no obvious shedding of epithelial cells,and neatly arranged and slightly swollen collagen fibers in the stromal layer.The relative protein expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in the corneal tissue of both model and sham electroacupuncture groups were significantly higher than those of the blank group(allP＜0.01).The rela-tive protein expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in the corneal tissue of both electroacupuncture and western medicine groups were significantly lower than those of the model group(all P＜0.01).The relative mRNA expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in the corneal tissue of both model and sham electroacupuncture groups were significantly higher than those of the blank group(all P＜0.01).The relative mRNA expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in the corneal tissue of both electroacupuncture and western medicine groups were significantly lower than those of the model group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion Electroacupuncture mitigates corneal epithelial injury,reduces the expression of HMGB1 in the cor-neal tissue,inhibits the binding of HMGB1 and RAGE,and ultimately alleviates ocular surface inflammation responses of dry eye mice.

Background In the context of the innovation-driven development strategy, occupational groups are facing increasing work pressure, and its impact on sleep quality and mental health deserves attention. Objective To explore potential mediating role of sleep quality between work stress and mental health status among occupational workers, and to provide a scientific basis for improving their mental health status. Methods Cluster sampling was used to select 2000 workers in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. They were divided into mental and physical worker groups according to their occupational types, and a questionnaire survey was conducted using General Information Survey Forms, Effort Reward Imbalance scale (ERI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90). Work stress level, sleep quality, and mental health were assessed and compared between mental and physical workers. Structural equation modelling was used to evaluate the relationship among work stress, sleep quality and mental health of the workers, and to explore the mediating effect of sleep quality. Results A total of 1979 survey questionnaires were collected, with a response rate of 99%, including 1500 (75.8%) mental workers and 479 (24.2%) physical workers. Linear correlations were confirmed between work stress, mental health, and sleep quality. The correlations of work stress with mental health and sleep quality scale scores were positive for both mental and physical workers (r=0.32, 0.31, P<0.01; r=0.25, 0.25, P<0.01), and sleep quality was also positively correlated with mental health (r=0.47, 0.56, P<0.01) . The final modified structural equation model showed that the coefficients of work stress on sleep quality for the mental and physical workers were 0.56 and 0.46 (P<0.001) respectively, and the coefficients of sleep quality on mental health were 0.52 and 0.80 (P<0.001) respectively. Sleep quality mediated the impact of work stress on mental health of the mental and physical workers, with mediating effect values of 0.29 and 0.37 respectively. The adaptability of both structural equation models is less than 3. Conclusion Occupational population's work stress and mental health may be mediated by sleep quality, and measures should be taken to reduce work stress and improve sleep quality and mental health.
