BackgroundGraduate students frequently face life events, many of which may adversely affect their mental well-being. However, the interaction between life events and the development of depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms remains unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between life events and the development of depressive, anxiety and somatic symptoms in graduate students, thereby informing prevention strategies for these conditions. MethodsA sample of 6 722 newly enrolled graduate students at a comprehensive university in Southwest China from September to November 2018 was selected. The assessment was conducted using the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC), the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale-7 item (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15). Network analysis was implemented by using the bootnet and qgraph packages in the R software (version 4.2.3), with centrality indices calculated to identify core and bridge symptoms within the network. ResultsThe study encompassed a total of 6 171 graduate students, representing 91.80% of the target population. The prevalence rates of anxiety, depressive, and somatic symptoms among graduate students were 12.59% (777/6 171), 16.63% (1 026/6 171), and 27.66% (1 707/6 171), respectively. Network analysis revealed that 'academic stress' was the core symptom with the highest strength and expected influence (both values=1.207), while 'feeling down, depressed, or hopeless' was the bridge symptom with the highest bridge strength and bridge expected influence (both values=0.454). There was no significant difference in global network strength and edge weight between women and men (P>0.05). ConclusionAcademic stress, emerging as the core symptom, assumes a dominant position within the symptom network and exhibits strong interactions with other negative affective states. There was no gender difference in the network structure.

Inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical diseases, mainly in men and elderly people, and its occurrence and development are related to many risk factors. At present, inguinal hernia can only be cured with surgery, which requires the selection of surgical methods based on patients′ conditions, medical resources and surgeons′ skills. With the aging of the popula-tion, it is expected that the number of inguinal hernia patients will continue to increase. The authors review the epidemiology, risk factors and characteristics of surgical treatment mode of inguinal hernia based on the epidemiological studies of inguinal hernia in recent years.

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment of mesh infection after lapa-roscopic inguinal hernia repair.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 32 patients with mesh infection after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair who were admitted to the Affiliated Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 were collected. There were 30 males and 2 females, aged 59(range, 19-81)years. All patients underwent debridement. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postopera-tive situations; (2) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between was conducted using Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Surgical and postoperative situations. All 32 patients underwent debridement success-fully, with the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss as 110(range, 45-220)minutes and 24(range, 5-200)mL. Of the 32 patients, there were 6 cases undergoing open debridement, 26 cases undergoing laparoscopic exploration with 12 cases clarified the cause of infection, in which 4 cases had intestinal fistula by mesh infection breaking through the peritoneum and invading the intestinal tract and underwent laparoscopic intestinal fistula repair, 3 cases had significant amount of residual medical glue, 3 cases had mesh wrinkling and curling, 2 cases underwent peritoneum suturing with black silk thread. There were 18 cases undergoing complete removal of infected mesh and 14 cases undergoing partial mesh removal. There were 18 cases undergoing removal of infected mesh by laparoscopic posterior approach and 14 cases undergoing removal of infected mesh by open anterior approach. Twenty-nine of the 32 patients had bacterial culture and drug allergy testing, including 24 cases with positive cultures, while 5 cases with negative cultures. The duration of hospital stay of the 32 patients was 27.0(range, 9.0-85.0)days. (2) Follow-up. All 32 patients were followed up for 37.9(range, 18.7-52.5)months. There were 5 cases and 2 cases with postoperative incision infection in the 18 patients undergoing complete removal of infected mesh and 14 cases undergoing partial mesh removal, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). There were 7 cases, 4 cases with seroma, recurrent sinus in the 18 patients undergoing complete removal of infected mesh and 5 cases, 6 cases in the 14 cases undergoing partial mesh removal, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). None of patient in the two groups had hematoma, recurrent inguinal hernia or chronic pain. The 7 patients with incision infec-tion recovered effectively after symptomatic treatment. The 12 patients with seroma received no special treatment. The 10 patients with recurrent sinus underwent debridement, in which 9 cases did not experience any further abdominal wall infections and 1 case underwent the third debride-ment. Conclusion:The management of mesh infection following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair necessitates the expertise of hernia specialists to complete remove the infected mesh or partial remove the infected mesh based on the specific clinical scenario.

Objective :
To establish a laboratory model of heroin addiction in C57BL /6 mice based on associative learning mechanisms.
Methods:
The black box and white box were selected as the memory training environment, and three behavioral training paradigms were studied : ① Pavlovian conditional position preference ( CPP) training paradigm,mice were placed in the white box for memory reinforcement training for 30 min after intraperitoneal injection of 0. 1 ml of corresponding concentrations (5. 0,10. 0,20. 0 mg / kg) of heroin at 9 :00 a.m.,and 24 h later 0. 1 ml of 0. 9% NaCl solution was injected intraperitoneally into the black box for training,and after the training,the mice were tested for their memory preference for the black and white boxes (movement time of different boxes) . ② A naloxone conditional position aversion ( CPA) training paradigm was conductedbased on the results of the CPP training paradigm. ③ Behavioral sensitization training paradigm,heroin addiction rating scale was established based on the statistical results of 3 behavioral experiments and the lethality of experimental animal disease mice after drug administration.Three different doses of heroin (5. 0,10. 0,20. 0 mg / kg) were selected to induce heroin addiction,and the most appropriate heroin concentration was selected by the results on the rating scale.
Results:
In the CPP training paradigm,CPP was observed in all heroin groups (P<0. 05,P<0. 001,P<0. 05) .In the CPA training paradigm,the CPA induction rate was highest in the 10. 0 mg / kg heroin group compared to the control group (P <0. 01 ) .In the behavioral sensitization training paradigm ,all heroin groups caused behavioral sensitization changes (P<0. 001) ; but the 5. 0 and 10. 0 mg / kg heroin groups did not cause animal mortality.Overall,the 10. 0 mg / kg heroin group had the highest dose score on the rating scale.It could be used as a concentration to establish a stable experimental animal model of heroin addiction.
Conclusion
The study was effective in establishing a heroin addiction model in mice,and it was suitable for modeling drug concentration screening,with high animal survival rate and simple and practical.The combined learning mechanism can effectively shorten the model establishment period.

Objective:
To establish a rat model of preeclampsia (PE) in early pregnancy and to observe the changes in phenotype,pregnancy outcome and cognitive ability of offspring.
Methods :
The pregnant rats were randomly divided into model group and control group.Ultra-low dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (0. 5 μg / kg) and an equal volume of normal saline were injected into the tail vein of pregnant rats on the fifth day of pregnancy.The levels of blood pressure ,12-hour urinary protein ,peripheral blood coagulation factors and placental cytokines in the two groups were measured.Furthermore,placental pathology,pregnancy outcomes,and cognitive abilities of offspring were observed.
Results:
Blood pressure and urinary protein levels of model group were significantly higher than those of control group levels.Compared with the control group,the levels of platelet and antithrombin Ⅲ (AT Ⅲ) in the peripheral blood of pregnant rats in the model group were lower than those in the control group,while D-dimer was higher than that in the control group,the weight of the fetus and placenta in the model group decreased (P <0. 001) ,the expression levels of interleukin ( IL) -6,tumor necrosis factor α ( TNF-α) and interferon gamma (INF-γ) in peripheral blood increased,while the expression level of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) decreased(P<0. 001) .The water maze test showed that the latency of the offspring of the model group to the plat- form was longer than that of the control group (P<0. 05) ,while the frequency of crossing the platform quadrant and the time of staying in the platform quadrant of the model group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0. 05 ) .HE and PAS staining showed that there were infiltration of inflammatory cells in the basal layer of placenta, obvious decrease of blood vessels in labyrinthine area,slight edema of renal interstitium and degeneration of local renal tubular epithelial cells in the model group,while there were no above pathological changes in placenta and kidney in the control group.
Conclusion
A single injection of LPS in early pregnancy can successfully induce PE- related symptoms and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as fetal growth restriction and lead to the decline of cogni- tive ability of offspring.

Journal of International Oncology 2022;49(11):700-704
Endometrial cancer has been identified by The Cancer Genome Atlas program with four molecular subtypes by genome sequence analysis. Clinical trials to select suitable immunotherapeutic agents based on the different immune characteristics of each subtype have been conducted in several countries and have made important progress. The main clinical applications of immune checkpoint inhibitors include anti-programmed cell death protein-1/programmed death-ligand 1 antibodies and poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors. Optimizing drug selection and drug combination based on the target characteristics of different immune checkpoint inhibitors may provide new opportunities for immunotherapy of endometrial cancer and bring new light to improve survival rates.

267 newly-diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into normoalbuminuria group [group N-UAlb, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR)<30 mg/g, n=103], microalbuminuria group(group M-UAlb, UACR 30~300 mg/g, n=88 ) , and macroalbuminuria group ( group L-UAlb, UACR>300 mg/g, n=76). The control group(group NC) consisted of 114 healthy individuals. Serum betatrophin, adiponectin(APN), and interleukin-1β( IL-1β) levels were determined with ELISA methods and the parameters of body mass index (BMI), estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), HbA1C, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), OGTT 2h plasma glucose(2hPG), fasting insulin(FINS), OGTT 2h postprandial insulin(2hPINS), fasting C-peptide(FCP), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistant index(HOMA-IR), and blood lipid were collected. Compared with group NC, the serum betatrophin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes were obviously increased. In patients with type 2 diabetes, betatrophin levels increased along with the increase of UACR and there were significant differences in betatrophin among the three groups(P<0. 01). Betatrophin positively correlated with UACR, HbA1C, FPG, 2hPG, FINS, 2hPINS, HOMA-IR, TC, LDL-C, and TG( r were 0. 785, 0. 225, 0. 136, 0. 241, 0. 386, 0. 223, 0. 411, 0.216,0.193,and0.298,allP<0.05),and betatrophin were also positively correlated with APN and IL-1β(rwere 0. 643 and 0. 710, both P<0. 01). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that UACR, HbA1C, FINS, and TG were independent relevant factors affecting betatrophin levels.
