Objective To explore serum levels of serine/threonine protein kinase 4(MST4)and heat shock protein 70(HSP70)in children with idiopathic immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)and their clinical signifi-cance.Methods Totally 98 children with ITP admitted to Northwest Women and Children's Hospital from April 2019 to April 2023 were retrospectively selected as the ITP group,and 50 healthy children who under-went physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group.Enzyme linked immu-nosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of MST4 and HSP70,and the serum MST4 and HSP70 levels in children with different ITP levels were compared.The correlation between the indicators were analyzed by Pearson correlation.Logistic regression model was used to screen the prognostic factors of ITP,and the as-sessment value of serum MST4 and HSP70 on ITP prognosis was analyzed by subject working characteristic curve.Results Serum MST4,HSP70,and CD8 in the ITP group were higher than those in the control group,while PLT,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+were lower than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Serum MST4 and HSP70 levels in mild group,moderate group and severe group were increased successively,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that serum MST4 and HSP70 were positively correlated with CD8+(P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with PLT,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+(P＜0.05).The disease course,serum MST4 and HSP70 of ITP children in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of disease(OR=1.579,P＜0.001),serum MST4(OR=1.451,P＜0.001)and serum HSP70(OR=1.442,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors af-fecting the prognosis of children with ITP.The area under the curve of serum MST4 and HSP70 combined in the assessment of poor prognosis of ITP children was larger than that of serum MST4 and HSP70,and the difference was statistically significant(Z=4.568,4.672,both P＜0.001).Conclusion The elevated serum MST4 and HSP70 levels in children with ITP are related to the severity of the disease and cellular immune function.The combination of the two has a high evaluation value for the prognosis of children with ITP.

Objective To investigate the role of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in mediating sleep depriva-tion induced endolymphatic hydrops.Methods A total of 30 healthy sprague-dawley(SD)rats were randomly di-vided into the control group、big platform control group,and 2 w,3 w,4 w sleep deprivation group,with 6 rats in each group.Modified multiple platform method was adopted to establish the rat sleep deprivation model.Before and after the experiment,the open field and acoustic brain-stem response(ABR)was conducted to evaluate the behavior and hearing level.After ABR test,blood samples were collected from abdominal aorta,and serum levels of TNF-αand MCP-1 were detected by ELISA.The cochlea was dissected,the severity of endolymphatic hydrops was as-sessed by calculating the ratio of the cross sectional area of the membranous cochlear duct(SM)to that of the mem-branous cochlear duct+scale vestibuli(SM+SV).Positive expression of IL-1β,TNF-α,MCP-1,TLR4,NF-κB P65 in rat cochlear tissues was detected via immunohistochemical staining.After the experiment,the changes of hearing level,the severity of endolymphatic hydrops and TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway related proteins and down-stream inflammatory factors expression level were observed.The correlation between TLR4/NF-κB signaling path-way and hearing level and endolymphatic hydropsin rats was analyzed.Results ABR results showed an increased threshold of wave Ⅱ in the sleep deprivation group compared to those of the control group and big platform control group(P＜0.05).The rate of hydrops was 0％in control and big platform control groups,16.67％in 2w sleep deprivation group and 25％in 3 w and 4 w sleep deprivation group.The concentrations of TNF-αand MCP-1 in ser-um of rats in sleep deprivation groups were higher than those in control and big platform control groups,and the 4w sleep deprivation group were statistically significant compared with control and big platform control groups.The ex-pressions of IL-1β,TNF-α,MCP-1,TLR4 and NF-κB P65 in the cochlear spiral ganglion,spiral canal,stria vascu-laris and spiral ligament of rats in sleep deprivation groups were higher than those in control and big platform control groups.Conclusion Sleep deprivation may induce endolymphatic hydrops by the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Ménière disease(MD)is a complex inner ear disorder with an uncertain cause and multiple contrib-uting factors.Affective disorders,such as anxiety,depression,insomnia,and other mood disorders,are common mental illnesses characterized by mood instability.There is a reciprocal relationship between affective disorders and MD,leading to a vicious cycle that worsens the progression of MD.This paper provides a comprehensive summary of the mechanisms linking affective disorders to MD,including changes in hormone levels and tissue damage caused by inflammation.It also explores how affective disorders influence MD through their effects on hormones and in-flammation.Additionally,the feasibility and effectiveness of psychotherapy in treating MD are discussed,with the aim of offering potential avenues for future MD treatment.

In recent years,public hesitancy to vaccinate has come to the fore and can hinder the advancement of immunization programs.It is important to increase public confidence in vaccines and to rationally and effectively promote the immunization behavior of the population.Based on behavioral economics theory,it combines the anchoring effect,loss aversion,two-systems theory,and the herd effect to explore the irrational factors and decision-making preferences behind the public's vaccination decisions,and then proposes discourse strategies for effective boosting to increase the public's confidence in vaccination.
