Objective: To investigate the changing trends for associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for preventing smartphone addiction in middle school students. Methods: From 2022 to 2023, a method of combining convenient sampling with cluster sampling was used to select 8 923 middle school students from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen City between September 2022 (baseline, T1) and September 2023 (follow up, T2). The Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), Patients Health Questionnaire-9 Item (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7) were administered to assess smartphone addiction, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mixed effects models were used to analyze the association of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students. Results: From September 2022 to September 2023, the reported prevalence of smartphone addiction increased from 24.22% to 25.25% ( χ 2=45.71); and smartphone addiction scores [ 24.00 (16.00, 32.00),25.00(16.00, 33.00)], anxiety symptom scores [2.00(0.00, 7.00),3.00(0.00, 7.00)] and depressive symptom scores[3.00(0.00, 8.00),5.00(0.00, 9.00)] all significantly increased ( Z =-17.43, -42.38, -41.57) (all P <0.05). There were statistically significant difference in the distribution of anxiety and depression symptom levels among middle school students in 2022 and 2023 ( χ 2=85.15, 106.85, both P <0.05). After adjusting for covariates such as age, gender and family background, mixed effects models revealed dose response associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students:mild anxiety symptom( OR =3.22), moderate to severe anxiety symptom ( OR =5.36), mild depressive symptom ( OR =3.32) and moderate to severe depressive symptom ( OR =6.13) were significantly associated with higher risks of smartphone addiction (all P <0.05). Interaction effect analysis found that co existing anxiety and depressive symptoms synergistically increased addiction risk by 5.60 times ( OR =5.60) compared to the asymptomatic group, with 32% of the combined risk attributable to their interaction ( S=1.64, AP =0.32)(both P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Anxiety and depressive symptoms are significantly associated with smartphone addiction, exhibiting a synergistic effect. Attention should be paid to emotional issues and smartphone addiction among middle school students.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

AIM:To analyze the influencing factors of visual outcome after vitrectomy for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy(PCV)combined with vitreous hemorrhage and establish a predictive model.METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 129 cases(129 eyes)of patients who underwent vitrectomy for PCV combined with vitreous hemorrhage from June 2021 to January 2024 in our hospital. They were divided into elevated group(71 eyes)and non-elevated group(58 eyes)according to visual outcome at early posoperative stage(within 24 mo). Another 30 cases(30 eyes)of PCV with vitreous hemorrhage undergoing vitrectomy were selected as external validation data. The predictive value of the model for the postoperative visual outcomes of both internal and external populations was evaluated.RESULTS: The non-elevated group had a higher proportion of patients aged ≥60 years, diabetes, continuous abnormalities of the ellipsoid zone(EZ)during surgery, bleeding involving the macular fovea, and postoperative retinal scar formation than the elevated group were independent factors affecting postoperative visual acuity(all P<0.05). The AUC of the predictive model for predicting the postoperative visual outcomes of internal and external populations was 0.824(95%CI: 0.750-0.898)and 0.809(95%CI: 0.723-0.865), respectively.CONCLUSION:Patients aged ≥60 years, diabetes, intraoperative continuous abnormalities of EZ, bleeding involving the macular fovea, and postoperative retinal scar formation are influencing factors for visual outcome after vitrectomy in patients with PCV combined with vitreous hemorrhage. A predictive model based on those factors has been established, which has a certain predictive value for postoperative visual outcome.

Background: SM-like (LSM) genes a family of RNA-binding proteins, are involved in mRNA regulation and can function as oncogenes by altering mRNA stability. However, their roles in B-cell progression and tumorigenesis remain poorly understood. Methods: We analyzed gene expression profiles and overall survival data of 123 patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The LSM index was developed to assess its potential as a prognostic marker of MCL survival. Results: Five of the eight LSM genes were identified as potential prognostic markers for survival in MCL, with particular emphasis on the LSM.index. The expression levels of these LSM genes demonstrated their potential utility as classifiers of MCL. The LSM.index-high group exhibited both poorer survival rates and lower RNA levels than did the overall transcript profile. Notably, LSM1 and LSM8 were overexpressed in the LSM.index-high group, with LSM1 showing 2.5-fold increase (p < 0.001) and LSM8 depicting 1.8-fold increase (p < 0.01) than those in the LSM.index-low group.Furthermore, elevated LSM gene expression was associated with increased cell division and RNA splicing pathway activity. Conclusions The LSM.index demonstrates potential as a prognostic marker for survival in patients with MCL. Elevated expression of LSM genes, particularly LSM1 and LSM8, may be linked to poor survival outcomes through their involvement in cell division and RNA splicing pathways. These findings suggest that LSM genes may contribute to the aggressive behavior of MCL and represent potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Objective:To explore the knowledge, attitude, and practice of insulin injection among nurses in Beijing and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From July to August 2019, stratified-random-cluster multi-stage sampling was used to select 7 448 nurses from 30 hospitals of different levels in Beijing as the research subject. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire and the Insulin Injection Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice on insulin injection.Results:A total of 7 448 questionnaires were distributed and 7 448 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 100.00% (7 448/7 448). Among 7 448 nurses, 6 942 had no positions, and the scores of the belief dimension, behavior dimension, and the total score of questionnaire were calculated; the knowledge dimension score was calculated based on the overall sample. The total score of the Insulin Injection Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire was (115.22±10.75), and the scores for each dimension of the questionnaire were (14.14±2.97), (17.29±2.73), and (83.82±7.72), respectively. The proportion of nurses who scored well in all questionnaire dimensions was 19.01% (1 320/6 942). The excellent score rates of each dimension in the questionnaire, from high to low, were the practice dimension [92.71% (6 436/6 942) ], attitude dimension [76.40% (5 304/6 942) ], and knowledge dimension [22.35% (1 665/7 448) ]. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of insulin injection knowledge, attitude, and practice among nurses were gender, age, professional title and department ( P<0.05). The influencing factors of knowledge were gender, age, years of work, education level, professional title, and department ( P<0.05). The influencing factors of attitude were gender, professional title, and department ( P<0.05). The influencing factors of practice were gender and age ( P<0.05). The above differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:Nurses at all levels of hospitals in Beijing have great beliefs and behaviors in insulin injection but lack knowledge. The knowledge of insulin injection among clinical nurses can be enhanced by improving the training and education standards on insulin injection, regularly providing insulin injection knowledge training and skill assessment to clinical nurses and other methods.

Objective::To investigate the morphological and ultrastructural alterations in placentas from pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)-induced macrosomia, term nondiabetic macrosomia, and normal pregnancies.Methods::Sixty full-term placentas were collected, and clinical data along with informed consent were obtained from pregnant women who underwent regular visit checks and delivered their newborns in Northwest Women’s and Children’s Hospital between May and December 2022. Placentas were divided into three equal groups: normal pregnancy (control group), nondiabetic macrosomia group, and macrosomia complicated with GDM (diabetic macrosomia) group. Gross morphological data of placentas were recorded, and placental samples were processed for examination of ultrastructural and stereological changes using transmission electron microscopy. Analysis of variance and chi-squared test were used to examine the differences among the three groups for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.Results::The baseline characteristics of mothers and neonates did not differ across the three groups, except for a significantly higher birth weight in the diabetic macrosomia group (4172.00 ± 151.20 g vs. 3192.00 ± 328.70 g, P < 0.001) and nondiabetic macrosomia group (4138.00 ± 115.20 g vs. 3192.00 ± 328.70 g, P < 0.001) compared with control group. Examination of the placentas revealed that placental weight was also highest in the diabetic macrosomia group compared with control group (810.00 ± 15.81 g vs. 490.00 ± 51.48 g, P < 0.001) and nondiabetic macrosomia group (810.00 ± 15.81 g vs. 684.00 ± 62.69 g, P < 0.001), but the ratio of neonatal birth weight to placental weight (BW/PW) was significantly lower in the diabetic macrosomia group compared with that in the control group (5.15 ± 0.19 vs. 6.54 ± 0.63, P < 0.001) and nondiabetic macrosomia group (5.15 ± 0.19 vs. 6.09 ± 0.52, P < 0.001) group. In contrast, the BW/PW ratio in nondiabetic macrosomia did not differ significantly from that in the control group. Distinct ultrastructural changes in terminal villi and stereological alterations in microvilli were observed in the diabetic macrosomia group, including changes in the appearance of cytoplasmic organelles and the fetal capillary endothelium and thickness of the vasculo-syncytial membrane and basal membrane. Conclusion::Significant ultrastructural and stereological alterations were discovered in the placentas from pregnant women with macrosomia induced by GDM. These alterations may be the response of the placenta to the hyperglycemia condition encountered during pregnancies complicated with GDM.
