Objective:To investigate the relationship between family functioning and self-injurious behavior among primary school children, as well as the effects of teacher-student relationship and friendship quality.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted with 1 033 primary school children from grade four to six in Hunan province from March to April 2024, using the family APGAR index scale, the deliberate self-injury inventory, the teacher-student relationship subscale of the my class questionnaire, and the friendship quality questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software for normality tests, descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and Pearson correlation analyses. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed with AMOS 24.0, and moderated mediating effects were examined using the PROCESS 3.5 macro program.Results:(1) The prevalence of self-injurious behavior among the sampled children was 37.4% (359/958), with no significant gender difference ( χ2=0.01, P>0.05). However, the detection rate among grades was significantly different ( χ2=8.25, P<0.05, Cramer's V=0.09). (2) Self-injurious behavior was negatively correlated with family functioning, teacher-student relationship, and friendship quality ( r=-0.29, -0.25, -0.18, P<0.01). Among family functioning, teacher-student relationship and friendship quality, there was positive correlations between each other ( r=0.33-0.40, all P<0.01). (3) Teacher-student relationship partially mediated the relationship between family functioning and self-injurious behavior, with the mediating effect value accounting for 20%(-0.06/-0.30) of the total effect. (4) Friendship quality moderated the first stage of the mediating effect of teacher-student relationship on the relationship between family functioning and self-injurious behavior ( β=0.08, P<0.01). When children's friendship quality was higher, the predictive effect of family functioning on teacher-student relationship was significantly strengthened ( βsimple=0.30, P<0.001, 95% CI=0.21~0.38). Conclusion:Effective family functioning promotes positive teacher-student relationship in children, thereby reducing the risk of self-injurious behavior. This effect is notably stronger among children with higher-quality friendships.

Objective:To investigate the effects of ovarian cancer domain containing protease-1 (OTUD1) gene on the typeⅠ interferon signaling pathway, and its impact on the antiviral effects of IFN-α.Methods:Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to detect the effects of OTUD1 gene on the transcriptional activity of interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) promoter. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the effects of OTUD1 on IFN-α-induced expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). The effects of OTUD1 gene on the expression of key proteins in the IFN-α signal transduction pathway were analyzed by Western blot, and its effects on IFN-α-mediated inhibition of hepatitis B virus replication were detected by qPCR and ELISA.Results:In HEK293T and Huh7.0 cells, OTUD1 down-regulated the transcriptional activity of ISRE promoter in the interferon signaling pathway and the expression of antiviral genes such as ISG15 and ISG56. In HEK293T cells, OTUD1 reduced the expression of phospho-Jak1 (p-JAK1) at protein level, but the catalytic inactive mutant of OTUD1 (C320S) could not regulate the expression of ISGs or p-JAK1. In Huh7.0 cells, OTUD1 antagonized the inhibitory effect of IFN-α on hepatitis B virus replication.Conclusions:OTUD1 with the ubiquitination activity can inhibit the interferon JAK-STAT signaling pathway and the expression of ISGs by down-regulating the expression of p-JAK1 protein. OTUD1 antagonizes the effect of IFN-α on viral replication and that may be related to the interferon-induced JAK-STAT signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the status quo of self-reported hearing impairment and physical function among the elderly in China, and to analyze the correlation between the two.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From January to May 2022, the elderly in 8 provinces or municipalities in East China, South China, Central China, North China, and Southwest China were selected as research objects by convenience sampling. The General Information Questionnaire, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) were used for the investigation. Multi-category Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the correlation between physical function impairment and self-reported hearing impairment in the elderly. A total of 5 996 questionnaires were collected, of which 5 822 were valid questionnaires, and the valid recovery rate was 97.1%.Results:Among the 5 822 elderly people, 869 (14.9%, 869/5 822) elderly people self-reported hearing impairment. The total score of SPPB in 5 822 elderly people was (5.89±4.26) , of which 2 899 (49.8%) elderly had low physical function, 1 454 (25.0%) elderly had moderate physical function, and 1 469 (25.2%) elderly had high physical function. Multi-category Logistic regression analysis showed that the elderly with self-reported hearing impairment had a high risk of developing low physical function ( OR=2.214, P<0.05) and moderate physical function ( OR=1.432, P<0.05) . In addition, cognitive impairment, female gender, advanced age, low body mass index (BMI) , low monthly household income, and having three or more chronic diseases were also common risk factors for low and moderate physical function ( P<0.05) . Low education level, unmarried status, living in rural areas and irregular exercise were specific risk factors for low physical function ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The elderly have poor physical function, and the elderly with self-reported hearing impairment had a high risk of developing low physical function. Attention should be paid to the hearing screening of the elderly. For the elderly with self-reported hearing impairment, they should be encouraged to communicate with others to reduce social loneliness, and participate in sports as much as possible under the premise of ensuring safety, so as to maintain and improve their physical function.

Targeted programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and CXC chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4), gene sequences encoding anti-PD-L1 nanobody and anti-CXCR4 nanobody were cloned into the pET-22b (+) vector to construct recombinant expression plasmid of anti-PD-L1&CXCR4 bispecific nanobody, which was connected with 6 × His tag and transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3). The expressed proteins were then found to exist as a soluble form in the supernatant of bacterial lysate after induction of IPTG.Three purification methods were used to obtain the target protein in order to improve the yield and purity of the bispecific nanobody.The bacterial supernatant was separated and purified by His Trap FF affinity chromatographic column.The target protein output could exceed 1 mg/L, and the product purity could reach up to 97%.Besides, the anti-PD-L1&CXCR4 bispecific nanobody shows a specific binding ability to two antigens on the cell surface, enhancing the cytotoxicity of IL-2 activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to tumor cell line AsPC-1, which lays the foundation for further evaluation of its drug efficacy in vivo.

Objective:To investigate the anatomical safety and feasibility ofposterior occipitocervical fixation with atlan-tooccipital-clivus screw.Methods:Data of 60 patients who treated in the spinal department of our hospital with upper cervical computed tomographic scans from February 2017 to November 2019 were retrospectively collected. Occipitocervical infection, injury, tumor and deformity were excluded. The Mimics software was used to reconstruct the occiput, atlas and measure the anatomical parameters, including the height and width of the anterior edge of the clivus, the height and width of the middle part of the clivus, the thinnest distance of the soft tissue in front of the clivus, the anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter, the angle of inside tilting in coronary plane of the occipital condyle, the distance from the hypoglossal canal to the atlantooccipital articular surface, the anteroposterior diameter and transverse diameter of the superior joint of atlas, the height of the lateral mass, and the height and transverse diameter of the inferior articular process of the superior atlas joint. The three-dimensional digital modeling was performed and the screw diameter of 3.5mm was simulated. 3-Matic software were used to measure the screw placement parameters, including the inside tilting angle in coronary plane of screw, and the angle of upper tilting in sagittal plane and length of screw. The atlanto-occipital junction was exposed at the rear of 8 cadavers. According to the above parameters, the titanium alloy screws with a diameter of 3.5 mm were transferred from the inferior articular process and posterior arch of the atlas to the clivus through the atlantooccipital. Finally, the screw path was cut along the nail path with a pendulum saw, and the track of the screw was observed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the screw.Results:The leading edge height and width of male clivus was 16.8±2.5 mm and 20.1±3.1 mm. The middle part of the clivus was 9.7±2.3 mm and 22.4±3.7 mm. The thinnest soft tissue in front of the clivus was 5.8±1.48 mm. The anteroposterior diameter of the occipital condyle was 19.1±1.9 mm, the transverse diameter was 12.6±2.0 mm, the inside tilting angle was 33.7°±4.5°, and the vertical distance from the lowest point of the neural tube to the articular surface of the occipital condyle was 9.6±1.1 mm. The height of the lateral mass of atlas was 12.9±2.4 mm, the anteroposterior diameter of the upper joint of atlas was 21.7±1.9 mm, and the transverse diameter was 11.7±1.4 mm. The width of the inferior facet was 14.9±1.4 mm and the height of the inferior facet was 5.7±0.85 mm. The distance from the screw entry point to the vertical line of the lateral mass migration midpoint was 2.5±0.6 mm; The distance from the screw entry point to the horizontal line of the midpoint was 2.3±0.7 mm.The inside titling angle of screw was 18.4°±1.6°, the upper tilting angle was 55.6°±3.1°, the length of the screw track was 53.0±2.8 mm, the adjustment range of upper tilting angle was 15.0±2.8 mm, the adjustment range of inside tilting angle was 10.4±2.4 mm. The anatomical parameters of females were slightly smaller than those of males, and the difference was statistically significant, but there was no significant difference between left and right parameters. The screws of 8 specimens could be inserted safely and effectively.Conclusion:Atlan-tooccipital-clivus screw can be implanted without damaging the nerve and vascular structure, and it can be used as a choice for occipitocervical fixation.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of magnetic resonance imaging and clinical application of multi-modality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating the response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in inflammatory breast cancer (IBC).Methods:A total of 36 IBC patients were enrolled in the study.The morphological, hemodynamic and diffusion-weighted imaging features of MRI were analyzed. Eleven patients underwent MRI examination before and after NAT. The imaging changes were analyzed and the efficacy of NACT was evaluated.Results:There were 38 identified breast carcinoma in these 36 cases, among which abnormal skin thickening and enhancement, extensive edema was found in 37 breast lesions. Enhancement of breast lesions in 25 cases was non-mass-like enhancement. Diffusion limitation was found in all lesions. The number of vessels in affected side was more than that in healthy side in MIP images. Thirty three cases had axillary lymph node enlargement.The sensitivity and specificity of MRI in evaluating residual breast tumors and vascular thrombus were high, but the evaluation of axillary lymph nodes was relatively low.Conclusions:Multi-modal MRI can be used for early and accurate diagnosis of IBC. It can also be used to predict and evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective:To explore the difference in properties of anterior occipital condyle plate screws compared with common anterior occipitalcervical fusion internal fixation.Methods:A 28-year-old healthy adult male volunteer's CT data of the occiput and neck was selected to establish finite element models:including the normal model,simple artificial vertebral fixation model(special-shaped titanium cage+clival screws),anterior occipital condyle plate and screw fixation model,and clival plate and screw fixation model,then a 50 N gravity and a torque of 1.5 N m were exerted upon the upper surface of the occipital bone to make the model produce flexion and extension,lateral bending and rotation. The motion range,internal fixation stress distribution and occipital bone stress distribution of each model under varying conditions were compared.Results:Under the conditions of flexion,extension,lateral bending and rotation,the range of motion of the normal model was 18.65°,15.35°,9.82° and 34.68°,respectively;that of the simple artificial vertebral fixation model was 3.20°,3.63°,2.94° and 3.92°,respectively;that of the clival plate and screw fixation model was 0.40°,0.50°,0.35° and 0.89°,respectively;that of the anterior occipital condylar plate and screw fixation model was 0.27°,0.33°,0.13° and 0.30°,respectively. Compared with the simple artificial vertebral fixation model,the range of motion of the clival plate and screw fixation model decreased by 87.5%,86.2%,88.1% and 77.3% in flexion,extension,lateral bending and rotation. The range of motion of the anterior occipital condylar plate and screw fixation model decreased by 91.5%,90.1%,95.6% and 92.3%,respectively. Under the conditions of flexion and extension,lateral bending and rotation,the stress peak of the simple artificial vertebral fixation model was 52.3 MPa,51.9 MPa,52.6 MPa,respectively;that of the clival plate and screw fixation was 100.1 MPa,158.1 MPa,170.6 MPa,respectively;that of the anterior occipital condylar plate and screw fixation was 114.2 MPa,62.9 MPa,132.9 MPa,respectively. Under the condition of flexion and extension,lateral bending and rotation,the stress peak of the occipital bone in the simple artificial vertebral body internal fixation model was 52.9 MPa,50.9 MPa and 62.3 MPa,respectively;that of the clival plate and screw fixation model was 19.7 MPa,55.9 MPa and 38.3 MPa,respectively;that of the anterior occipital condylar plate and screw fixation model was 37.8 MPa,15.0 MPa and 16.3 MPa,respectively. The stress in bone near the hypoglossal canal was close to 0 MPa,much smaller than the stress peak in occipital bone.Conclusion:Anterior occipital condylar plate and screw fixation in front of the special-shaped titanium cage can improve the stability of occipitocervical fusion with little effect on the occipital bone and hypoglossal canal or without obvious stress concentration,and hence is a safe and reliable anterior fixation method for upper cervical spine instability.
