Objective: To explore the relationship between life skills, psychological resilience and subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide evidence for targeted adolescent mental health education. Methods: From September to November, 2025, a total of 5 831 primary and secondary school students from five cities (Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Urumqi) were selected by convenience sampling. The Adolescent Subjective Well being Scale, School based Adolescents Life Skills Scale, and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale were used for investigation. Data were analyzed using t-tests, one way ANOVA, and linear regression. Results: The total mean score of students subjective well being was (5.46± 0.91) ; the total mean score of life skills was (3.69±0.64); the total mean score of psychological resilience was (3.66±0.69). Statistically significant differences in subjective well being scores were found among students grouped by gender, grade, school stage, residential city, living with parents or living with siblings ( t/F =4.14, 53.92, 14.53, 49.99, 13.49, 2.18, all P <0.01). Stratified regression analyses were performed by gender (adjusting for school stage, residential city and living arrangement) and by school stage (adjusting for gender, residential city and living arrangement), the regression results indicated that life skills of boys, girls, primary school students and junior high school students( β =0.54, 0.53, 0.50, 0.57) and their psychological resilience ( β = 0.56 , 0.60, 0.56, 0.60) were positively associated with subjective well being (all P <0.01). Conclusions Life skills and psychological resilience may be important protective factors for subjective well being among primary and secondary school students. School based mental health education should emphasize life skills training and resilience building to promote students subjective well being.

Objective: To explore the association between parental subjective well-being and subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide evidence for promoting adolescent mental health from a family perspective. Methods: From September to November 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to recruit 4 612 students in grades 4-8 from 12 primary and secondary schools in five cities—Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Urumqi—along with their parents. Students completed the Adolescent Well being Survey Questionnaire, while parents completed the Parental Well being Survey Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using t-test, one way analysis of variance, multiple linear regression, Logistic regression, and stratified subgroup analyses. Results: The maximum score of the subjective well-being scale for primary and secondary school students was 301, with a total score of (224.07±46.63), representing 74.4% of the full score; the maximum score of the parental subjective well-being scale was 120, with a total score of (92.35±15.10), representing 77.0%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that parental subjective well-being was positively associated with students overall subjective well-being, positive affect, and satisfaction in each domain (friendship, family, school, environment, freedom, and academics), and negatively associated with negative affect ( β =0.45, 0.08, 0.06, 0.07, 0.05, 0.04, 0.05, 0.04, -0.05, all P <0.01). Logistic regression and stratified analysis showed that parental subjective well-being was positively associated with students high subjective well-being ( OR =1.03), and the association existed in subgroups of different gender, grade and family structure ( OR =1.02-1.04) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Parental subjective well-being is positively associated with students subjective well-being. Future interventions should incorporate an integrated strategy featuring family-school collaboration to promote adolescent well-being.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a common malignant tumor.Interleukin-8(IL-8)is an important biomarker of OSCC,and its level can reflect the occurrence and development of OSCC.It is of great significance to detect IL-8 rapidly and sensitively for the purpose of early diagnosis of OSCC.In this study,gold nanoparticles(AuNPs)with uniform particle size were synthesized by reduction of chloroauric acid with trisodium citrate,and the probe(AuNPs@mAb1)was prepared by coupling AuNPs with the murine anti-IL-8 monoclonal antibody mAb1.Cy5-NHS and murine anti-IL-8 monoclonal antibody mAb2 complex(Cy5-mAb2)and sheep anti-mouse IgG antibody were sprayed on nitrocellulose membrane to form test line(T line)and control line(C line)respectively,and reverse fluorescence-enhanced test strips were thus constructed,based on which an immunochromatographic method was established for highly sensitive detection of IL-8 in saliva samples.The experimental results showed that the test strip had good stability,high specificity and high sensitivity.The linear range for fluorescence detection of IL-8 was 0.01-100 ng/mL,and the limit of detection(3σ)was 7.93 pg/mL.The linear range for visualization detection was 6-100 ng/mL,with limit of detection(3σ)of 0.85 ng/mL.The fabricated test trip had good preparation reproducibility,with inter-and intra-batch assay precision of less than 5.5%.The test strip was used for detection of IL-8 in healthy human saliva samples,with spiked recoveries of 93.7% -102.4%,and relative standard deviations of 2.1% -4.3%.The fabricated test strip could be used for early screening of OSCC.

Objective To develop and validate a risk prediction model for non-cuffed catheter(NCC)dysfunction in hemodialysis patients,aiming to provide a reference for early clinical identification and warning.Methods A prospective study design was adopted.A total of 569 patients with indwelling NCC from the hemodialysis center of a tertiary hospital in Nanchang between December 1,2023 to May 20,2024,were included as a modeling cohort.An additional 172 patients from the hemodialysis center of a tertiary hospital in Changsha,enrolled between May 30 to October 20,2024,formed a validation cohort.Data were collected on general patient characteristics,dialysis information,catheterization details,and clinical parameters.The risk prediction model was constructed using a combination of variables identified through univariate analysis,Lasso regression,logistic regression,and the Boruta algorithm.Model performance was evaluated accordingly.Results The incidence of NCC dysfunction in hemodialysis patients was 44.94％.A total of 5 common predictors were identified by both algorithms,including age,ultrafiltration volume,catheter insertion site,catheter indwelling time,and C-reactive protein.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)was 0.720 for internal validation and 0.766 for external validation.The Brier scores for curve calibration were 0.213 and 0.203,respectively.The decision curve analysis showed clinical benefit within risk threshold ranges of 22％～82％and 22％～96％,respectively.Conclusion The risk prediction model developed in this study demonstrates good predictive performance and can serve as a screening and assessment tool for identifying the risk of NCC dysfunction in hemodialysis patients.

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound features modified version 2022 of the Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging Reporting and Data System（O-RADS）Category 4 in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted in 501 cases with ovarian masses classified into 4 categories according to the 2022 version of O-RADS who were collected from 4 clinical centers［the Second Afliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University（188 cases），Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital（146 cases），Sichuan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital（90 cases），and Fuling Hospital of Chongqing University（77 cases）］from January 2018 to July 2024 with concomitant surgical resection.The 424 cases from 3 of the clinical centers（the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University，Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital，and Sichuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital）were randomly divided into a training group（339 cases）and an internal validation group（85 cases）according to an 8∶2 randomization，while the cases from the other clinical center（Fuling Hospital of Chongqing University）were selected as the external validation group（77 cases），and the pathological diagnosis was used as the “gold standard”.Univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analyses were performed on the ultrasound characteristics of the training group to screen the independent predictors associated with ovarian carcinogenesis，and to formulate the stratification rules for the 4 types of masses in O-RADS. The ROC curve of this stratification method was plotted and the area under the curve（AUC）was calculated，and it was validated in the internal validation group and the external validation group；and the diagnostic accuracy was compared with that of the 2022 version of O-RADS.Results:Univariate logistic analysis showed that cysts with solid components，≥ 4 papillary projections，smooth inner wall of the cyst，color flow score ≥ 3 points，and acoustic shadowing were independent predictors of ovarian cancer（all P < 0.05）；while multifactorial logistic analysis showed that cysts with a solid component and a color flow score ≥3 points were independent risk factors of ovarian cancer（all P < 0.05），and smooth cyst walls and acoustic shadows were independent protective factors（all P < 0.05）.The diagnostic accuracies of the modified training group，internal validation group，and external validation group were 73.7%，68.2%，70.1%，respectively，which were significantly higher than the diagnostic accuracies of the 2022 version of the O-RADS（38.9%，37.6%，33.8%）（all P < 0.05）.The diagnostic sensitivity，specificity and AUC of the training group were 0.871，0.652，0.762，respectively，while the internal validation group were 0.844，0.585，0.714，and 0.846，0.627，0.737 in the external validation group. Conclusions:Improvement of the 2022 version of O-RADS category 4 using ultrasound features may improve the identification of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors.

Objective:To investigate the application and effect of a competency-oriented teaching model in standardized nutritional diagnosis and treatment training for clinical physicians.Methods:A blended teaching method combining online and offline lectures was used to teach core knowledge and skills of clinical nutrition among clinical physicians by implementing a step-by-step "popularization-strengthening-deepening" strategy. The number of nutritional consultations, the improvement in nutritional diagnosis and treatment among clinical physicians, and the degree of satisfaction after training were used as assessment indices.Results:Compared with the data in 2021, the number of annual nutritional consultations was increased by 21.41% in 2022 and 53.18% in 2023. A total of 281 clinical physicians received online deepening course training, among whom 237 (84.34%) completed the online clinical nutrition knowledge test, with a mean score of (86.17±5.48) points and a pass rate of 81.86% (194/237). The online training received a satisfaction rate of 80.39%.Conclusions:The training program designed with competency-based objectives, systematic content, and diverse methodologies can significantly enhance the standardized thinking and capabilities of clinical physicians in nutritional diagnosis and treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To standardize the operative procedure for tissue-engineered cartilage repair, by demonstrating surgical technique of arthroscopic implantation of decalcified cortex-cancellous bone scaffolds, and summarizing the surgical experience of the sports medicine department team at Peking University Third Hospital. METHODS: This article elaborates on surgical techniques and skills, focusing on the unabridged implantation technology and surgical procedure of decalcified cortex-cancellous bone scaffolds under arthroscopy: First, the patient was placed in the supine position. After anesthesia had been established, the surgeon established an arthroscope and explored the damaged area under the scope. After confirming the size and location of the injury site, the surgeon cleaned the damaged cartilage, and also trimmed the edges of the cartilage to ensure that the cut surface was smooth and stable. the surgeon performed the micro-fracture surgery in the area of cartilage injury, and then measured the size of the injured area under the scope. Next, the surgeon manually trimmed the tissue-engineered scaffold based on the measurements taken under the arthroscope, and then directly implanted the scaffold using a sleeve. A honeycomb-shaped fixator was used to implant absorbable nails to fix the scaffold. After the scaffold was installed, the knee was repeatedly flexed and extended for 10-20 times to ensure stability and range of motion. Finally, the arthroscope was withdrawn and the wound was closed. RESULTS: Decalcified cortex-cancellous bone scaffolds possessed unparalleled advantages over synthetic materials in terms of morphology and biomechanics. The cancellous bone part of the scaffold provided a three-dimensional, porous space for cell growth, while the cortical bone part offered the necessary mechanical strength. The surgery was performed entirely under arthroscopy to minimize invasiveness to the patient. Absorbable pins were used for fixation to ensure the stability of the scaffold. This technique could effectively improve the prognosis of the patients with cartilage injuries and standardized the surgical procedures for arthroscopic tissue-engineered scaffold operations in the patients with cartilage damage. CONCLUSION With the standard arthroscopic tissue-engineered scaffold repair technique, it is possible to successfully repair damaged cartilage, alleviate symptoms in the short term, and provide a more ideal long-term prognosis. The author and their team explain the surgical procedures for tissue-engineered scaffolds under arthroscopy, with the aim of guiding future clinical practice.

Approximately 30%-40% of epilepsy patients do not respond well to adequate anti-seizure medications (ASMs), a condition known as pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The management of pharmacoresistant epilepsy remains an intractable issue in the clinic. Its early prediction is important for prevention and diagnosis. However, it still lacks effective predictors and approaches. Here, a classical model of pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) was established to screen pharmacoresistant and pharmaco-responsive individuals by applying phenytoin to amygdaloid-kindled rats. Ictal electroencephalograms (EEGs) recorded before phenytoin treatment were analyzed. Based on ictal EEGs from pharmacoresistant and pharmaco-responsive rats, a convolutional neural network predictive model was constructed to predict pharmacoresistance, and achieved 78% prediction accuracy. We further found the ictal EEGs from pharmacoresistant rats have a lower gamma-band power, which was verified in seizure EEGs from pharmacoresistant TLE patients. Prospectively, therapies targeting the subiculum in those predicted as "pharmacoresistant" individual rats significantly reduced the subsequent occurrence of pharmacoresistance. These results demonstrate a new methodology to predict whether TLE individuals become resistant to ASMs in a classic pharmacoresistant TLE model. This may be of translational importance for the precise management of pharmacoresistant TLE.
