BackgroundEmotional disorders in adolescents have emerged as a prominent issue in recent years. Current mainstream clinical assessment approaches for such conditions predominantly rely on interviews and rating scales， which are limited by inherent drawbacks such as high subjectivity and recall bias. Accordingly， there exists an urgent clinical need for the development of objective， quantifiable auxiliary diagnostic tools.In previous studies， frontal electroencephalography （EEG） has demonstrated significant value in assessing depressive and anxiety. However， the lack of standardized quantitative metrics and intuitive visual analytical approaches has severely restricted clinical interpretability of EEG data and diminished patient engagement. To address these key limitations， the present study proposes an innovative analytical framework that converts frontal EEG signals into quantifiable visual metrics to enhance clinical comprehension and acceptance. ObjectiveTo explore the value of frontal EEG in assessing anxiety， depression， and sleep quality in adolescents with emotional disorders， with the aim of providing objective auxiliary tools for clinical diagnosis and assessment of adolescents with emotional disorders. MethodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 105 adolescents aged 12-18 years who visited the outpatient department of a specialized mental hospital in Beijing from April 2023 to April 2024. All participants met the diagnostic criteria for mood （affective） disorders or anxiety disorders in the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）. Frontal EEG signals were collected within a big data analytics-driven framework and further processed by EEG system to generate six quantitative cerebral function indices， namely brain load， tension and excitement， emotional stress， sleepiness index， cerebral vitality， and cerebral fatigue. In addition， validated standardized scales， including the Self-rating Anxiety Scale （SAS）， the Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）， and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI）， were administered for anxiety， depressive symptoms， and sleep quality， respectively. ResultsIn adolescent patients with emotional disorders， the SAS score exhibited significant positive correlations with brain load （r_s=0.328， P<0.01）， emotional stress （r_s=0.341， P<0.01）， and cerebral fatigue （r_s=0.286， P<0.01）. The SDS score was positively correlated with brain load （r_s=0.275， P<0.01）， emotional stress （r_s=0.241， P<0.05）， and cerebral fatigue （r_s=0.311， P<0.01）， while showing a significant negative correlation with cerebral vitality （r_s=-0.212， P<0.05）. Additionally， the PSQI total score demonstrated positive correlations with brain load （r_s=0.340， P<0.01）， emotional stress （r_s=0.322， P<0.01）， and cerebral fatigue （r_s=0.229， P<0.05）. ConclusionFrontal EEG-derived indices， including brain load， emotional stress， cerebral fatigue and cerebral vitality， may serve as objective markers for reflecting anxiety， depression， and sleep quality in adolescents with emotional disorders. ［Funded by Beijing High level Innovation and Entrepreneurship Talent Support Program （number， 202504841041）； Horizontal Joint Project］

Background: and Purpose Live cell-based assays (LCBA) are increasingly used for serological antibody detection due to their ability to preserve antigen conformation, offering moderately higher sensitivity than fixed cell-based assays. However, the clinical necessity of prioritizing LCBA for the detection of aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) remains unclear, especially when compared to its established role in diagnosing myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease. Methods: We compared the performance of live cell-based assays using immunofluorescence (LCBA-IF) and fixed cell-based assays using immunofluorescence (FCBA-IF) in detecting AQP4-IgG in 90 cases of NMOSD meeting 2015 International Panel for Neuromyelitis Optica Diagnosis criteria, alongside 40 controls. Additionally, we further investigated the relationship between AQP4-IgG titers as measured by LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF and clinical parameters in NMOSD patients. Results: Results showed 96.9% agreement between LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF (Cohen’s κ=0.935), with a strong Spearman correlation (0.977, p<0.001). Both methods demonstrated 100% specificity, with LCBA-IF showing slightly higher sensitivity compared to FCBA-IF. Within LCBAIF-tested groups, statistically significant differences in annualized relapse rates were observed across all pairwise comparisons (low-titer vs. moderate-titer, low-titer vs. high-titer, and moderate-titer vs. high-titer; all p<0.050). However, this association reached statistical significance in some FCBA-IF-tested groups. Conclusions Overall, there is a strong concordance between LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF in detecting AQP4-IgG, where LCBA-IF shows slightly higher sensitivity. Furthermore, there is a potential link between elevated AQP4-IgG titers and an increased risk of relapse, and this correlation may appear more pronounced when using LCBA-IF.

The Proctor's reporting guideline for implementation strategies represents a landmark framework in the field of implementation science, aiming to address the issue of inconsistent reporting in implementation research by standardizing the naming, definition, and operationalization of implementation strategies, thereby enhancing the credibility and utility of research findings. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation of the core connotations of this reporting guideline and illustrates its application in developing interview outlines and specifying implementation strategies, using a brief smoking cessation intervention project as a case study. Through this reporting guideline, abstract recommendations for implementation are systematically transformed into clear, multidimensional operational guides, significantly improving the transparency of strategy connotations and the replicability of actual execution. Meanwhile, the case study highlights the flexibility of the guideline, which allows researchers to adapt the content and format of strategies based on local resources and cultural contexts, thus enhancing practical adaptability while maintaining scientific rigor. However, the application of Proctor's reporting guideline still faces challenges, primarily manifested in the potential confusion surrounding the constructs of temporality and dose in practice, as well as the challenges that the inherent flexibility of the guideline may pose to the assessment of fidelity and effectiveness. Despite these limitations, the reporting guideline remains a vital tool for implementation research; future efforts should focus on optimizing its application—through refining operational guidelines, standardizing flexible adaptations, and involving stakeholders—to better guide implementation studies and continuously promote high-quality development in the field.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of gingerol， an active component of ginger， on Staphylococcus aureus （S. aureus） infection， and to preliminarily explore its mechanism related to extracellular vesicles （EVs）. MethodsS.aureus infection models were established in human umbilical vein endothelial cell （HUVECs）， Vero E6 cells， and C57BL/6 mice. Experimental groups included control， infection， and gingerol-treated groups. Bacterial load and VE-cadherin protein expression were detected using immunofluorescence and Western blot. EVs were isolated by size exclusion chromatography and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. miRNA sequencing was performed on EVs. ResultsGingerol treatment significantly reduced the bacterial load in both in vitro and in vivo infection models and upregulated VE-cadherin expression. miRNA sequencing of EVs revealed that S. aureus infection upregulated the expression of hsa-miR-320c， while gingerol treatment reversed this abnormal expression. Bioinformatic analysis further predicted that the target genes of hsa-miR-320c were significantly enriched in cell junction-related pathways. ConclusionGingerol exhibits clear antibacterial and host-protective effects， by regulating hsa-miR-320c in EVs to maintain endothelial barrier integrity.

Objective·To investigate the clinicopathologic features,gene mutation profile,and real-world survival prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)with pulmonary involvement.Methods·The clinical data of 110 patients with newly diagnosed,pathologically confirmed DLBCL and pulmonary involvement at Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,between August 2003 and December 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Evaluation of the efficacy of treatment,survival analyses,and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed in 88 patients who received a first-line regimen based on rituximab in combination with cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin/epirubicine,vincristine,and prednisone(R-CHOP).A total of 74 patients underwent targeted DNA sequencing of 55 lymphoma-related genes and were evaluated for mutations.Results·Among the 110 patients,72(65.5%)were>60 years old,52(47.3%)were female,92(83.6%)presented with Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ?Ⅳ,20(18.2%)had ECOG scores≥2,75(68.2%)had elevated lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)levels,79(71.8%)had≥2 extranodal involvements,32(31.4%)were classified as germinal center B-cell subtype,22(26.8%)were diagnosed with double expressor lymphoma,and 4(4.6%)with double-hit lymphoma.Among the patients treated with R-CHOP-based first-line regimens,the objective response rate(ORR)was 68.2%,the 5-year progression-free survival(PFS)rate was 43.7%,and the 5-year overall survival(OS)rate was 65.4%.Univariate analysis showed that elevated LDH and ECOG score≥2 were poor prognostic factors for PFS and OS,and mutations in PIM1 and CD79B were poor prognostic factors for PFS among high-frequency mutations.Multivariate analysis showed that elevated LDH was an independent adverse prognostic factor for PFS(HR=2.47,95%CI 1.28?4.77)and OS(HR=2.71,95%CI 1.21 ? 6.07).Targeted sequencing results showed that PIM1(25.7%),MYD88(24.3%),TP53(18.9%),CD79B(17.6%),KMT2D(17.6%),and TNFAIP3(16.2%)were the high-frequency mutations with mutation rates over 15%.Conclusion·Elevated LDH is an independent adverse prognostic factor for PFS and OS in DLBCL with pulmonary involvement.Mutations in PIM1,MYD88,TP53,CD79B,KMT2D,and TNFAIP3 are frequently observed in this population.

Reporting guidelines are structured checklists for researchers to follow when reporting spe-cific types of studies.As researches conducted in real-world settings to address practical issues,implementa-tion research has stringent requirements for the replicability of result and the transparency of reporting,making its reporting guidelines particularly important.This paper systematically introduces the reporting guidelines in the field of implementation science,outlines their classification systems and scopes of applica-tion,and focuses on explaining the core characteristics and functions of five key reporting guidelines,inclu-ding the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies(StaRI),Reporting guidelines for implementation and operational research,the Template for Intervention Description and Replication(TIDieR),the Frame-work for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced(FRAME),and recommendations for specifying and reporting implementation strategies.Furthermore,combined with the PEDALs research paradigm in im-plementation science,this paper further clarifies the specific application pathways for reporting guidelines and discusses directions for refinement,aiming to provide references for researchers to select appropriate reporting guidelines.

Objective:To evaluate the sample preparation proficiency and storage proficiency of 11 clinical biobanks in Beijing through simulated experiments, and to establish an assessment method for the quality comparability of biological samples.Methods:An exploratory research design was adopted. In November 2023, artificial composite serum quality control materials containing six recombinant human protein markers—recombinant human alanine aminotransferase (rhALT), recombinant human aspartate aminotransferase (rhAST), recombinant human creatine kinase (rhCK), recombinant human creatine kinase-MB (rhCK-MB), recombinant human B-type natriuretic peptide (rhBNP), and recombinant human troponin I (rhTNI)—were distributed to 11 clinical biobanks in Beijing City. Sample preparation and storage followed the standardized operating procedures. Proficiency differences were assessed through statistical analysis.Results:Three-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed all six protein markers showed a declining trend over storage time in ultra-low-temperature environments ( F values 11.68-4 179.66, all P<0.01). However, neither long-term/temporary refrigerator types ( F values 0.01-1.23, all P>0.05)nor placement locations within refrigerators significantly affected the stability of these six proteins ( F valus 0.03-1.47, all P>0.05). The biases in detection results for rhALT, rhAST, rhTNI, and rhBNP at different storage time points were within the allowable bias limits for each item, supporting their use as markers for protein stability in biobank samples. All 11 institutions passed the storage proficiency assessment. In the preparation proficiency assessment, deviations were observed in post-preparation sample results, with a notably high out-of-control rate for rhCK (36.36%). Conclusion:Sample preparation proficiency can serve as a quality control metric for clinical biobanks. Future external quality assessment systems for biobanks should focus on sample preparation rather than storage processes.

Objective To analyze the prevalence status of cardiometabolic risk factor (CMRF) and its aggregation among workers engaged in new forms of employment. Methods A total of 5 429 new employment workers (including couriers, online food delivery workers, and ride hailing drivers) who underwent health medical examinations at a tertiary hospital in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. Data on waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels were collected to analyze their CMRF [central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] and their aggregation (with ≥ 2 of the above 5 risk factors) status. Results The detection rates of central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced HDL-C were 61.2%, 38.2%, 29.5%, 40.9% and 22.6%, respectively. The detection rates of CMRF aggregation was 57.8%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that male, age ≥45 years, smoking, overweight, and obesity were risk factors for CMRF aggregation (all P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of CMRF and its aggregation among workers with new forms of employment in Beijing City is relatively high. Targeted prevention and control efforts should be strengthened for high-risk populations, especially males, workers aged ≥45 years, smokers, and those who are overweight or obese.

Background/Aims: Early detection and effective prognosis prediction in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) provide an avenue for survival improvement, yet more effective approaches are greatly needed. We sought to develop the detection and prognosis models with ultra-sensitivity and low cost based on fragmentomic features of circulating cell free mtDNA (ccf-mtDNA). Methods: Capture-based mtDNA sequencing was carried out in plasma cell-free DNA samples from 1168 participants, including 571 patients with HCC, 301 patients with chronic hepatitis B or liver cirrhosis (CHB/LC) and 296 healthy controls (HC). Results: The systematic analysis revealed significantly aberrant fragmentomic features of ccf-mtDNA in HCC group when compared with CHB/LC and HC groups. Moreover, we constructed a random forest algorithm-based HCC detection model by utilizing ccf-mtDNA fragmentomic features. Both internal and two external validation cohorts demonstrated the excellent capacity of our model in distinguishing early HCC patients from HC and highrisk population with CHB/LC, with AUC exceeding 0.983 and 0.981, sensitivity over 89.6% and 89.61%, and specificity over 98.20% and 95.00%, respectively, greatly surpassing the performance of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and mtDNA copy number. We also developed an HCC prognosis prediction model by LASSO-Cox regression to select 20 fragmentomic features, which exhibited exceptional ability in predicting 1-year, 2-year and 3-year survival (AUC=0.8333, 0.8145 and 0.7958 for validation cohort, respectively). Conclusions We have developed and validated a high-performing and low-cost approach in a large clinical cohort based on aberrant ccf-mtDNA fragmentomic features with promising clinical translational application for the early detection and prognosis prediction of HCC patients.
