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 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.

Objective: To analyze the chemical constituents of Shanxiangyuanye (Turpiniae Folium) through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, and to evaluate their anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, and anti-glycation activities related to diabetic complications. Methods: The supernatant of Shanxiangyuanye (Turpiniae Folium) (TFS), obtained following water extraction and alcohol precipitation, was analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Antioxidant activity of TFS in vitro was evaluated using three experimental approaches: the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, the 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS+) radical cation decolorization assay, and the hydroxyl (·OH) radical scavenging assay. To comprehensively evaluate hypoglycemic potential, α-glucosidase inhibition was measured to analyze in vitro hypoglycemic activity. Subsequently, in vitro models were developed to examine anti-glycation activity through the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fructose (Fru), BSA-methylglyoxal (MGO), BSA-glyoxal (GO), and D-arginine (Arg)-MGO systems, with particular attention to the inhibitory effects of TFS. Furthermore, the concentrations of fructosamine, protein carbonyls, sulfhydryl groups, and β-amyloid in the glycation solution were quantified using the BSA-Fru model following 7-d of incubation at 37 °C. Results: Using LC-MS/MS analysis in both positive and negative ion modes, we identified 750 chemical components in TFS, primarily including organic acids, amino acids, and their derivatives. In vitro activity studies demonstrated that TFS exhibited remarkable free radical scavenging capacity, with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 0.47, 1.56, and 0.36 mg/mL against DPPH, ABTS+, and ·OH radicals, respectively. Regarding hypoglycemic activity, TFS dose-dependently inhibited α-glucosidase activity (IC50 = 0.21 mg/mL), displaying comparable efficacy to the clinical drug acarbose (IC50 = 0.23 mg/mL). Notably, TFS intervened in the glycation process: IC50 values were 0.22, 1.91 – 4.96, and 4.09 mg/mL in the BSA-Fru, BSA-MGO/GO, and Arg-MGO models, respectively, with the most prominent inhibitory effects observed in the BSA-Fru model. Furthermore, although TFS may not effectively preserve thiol groups in BSA or reduce thiol oxidation during glycation, it significantly reduces fructosamine levels (in a dose-dependent manner), decreases β-amyloid formation, and inhibits protein carbonylation (P < 0.000 1). Conclusion The findings demonstrate that TFS exhibits a complex chemical composition with potent antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and anti-glycation activities. These results provide compelling scientific evidence supporting TFS’s potential as a natural adjuvant for diabetes prevention and complication management, while laying a solid foundation for its applications in functional food development and adjunctive antidiabetic therapeutics.

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.

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.
