BackgroundFamily functioning is one of the factors influencing non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders. Previous studies have treated family functioning as a unitary construct, which may obscure the differential impacts of specific dimensions on NSSI behaviors. ObjectiveTo explore the relationships between various dimensions of family functioning and NSSI behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders, aiming to provide precise targets for family-based interventions for adolescents with depressive disorders who exhibit NSSI behaviors. MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 217 adolescent patients who were treated at the outpatient or inpatient department of The First Psychiatric Hospital of Harbin from January to July 2025 and met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorders as stipulated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) were included as the research subjects. Assessments included a self-designed questionnaire, the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17), and the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Univariate Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the association between each dimension of family functioning and the NSSI behaviors, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to test the independent effect of each dimension of family functioning on the NSSI behaviors. ResultsA total of 204 cases (94.01%) of adolescent patients with depressive disorders completed the valid questionnaire survey. Among them, 134 cases (65.69%) exhibited NSSI behaviors (NSSI group), and 70 cases (34.31%) did not exhibit NSSI behaviors (non-NSSI group). Compared with the non-NSSI group, the NSSI group had a higher HAMD-17 score [(20.97±7.50) vs. (17.79±6.95), t=8.705, P=0.004], a higher FAD total score [(155.68±21.84) vs. (148.87±22.72), t=4.348, P=0.038], and a higher problem-solving dimension score [(2.54±0.49) vs. (2.34±0.51), t=7.399, P=0.007]. All the differences were statistically significant. The results of the Logistic regression analysis showed that the FAD total score (OR=1.014, 95% CI: 1.001–1.028, P=0.041) and the problem-solving dimension score (OR=2.241, 95% CI: 1.228–4.090, P=0.009) were both risk factors for NSSI behaviors. After adjusting for gender, age, residence, educational level, monthly family income, and whether being an only child, the correlation between the FAD total score and NSSI behaviors was not statistically significant (OR=1.010, 95% CI: 0.995–1.025, P=0.185), while the correlation between the FAD problem-solving dimension score and NSSI behaviors remained statistically significant (OR=2.000, 95% CI: 1.028–3.889, P=0.041). ConclusionImpaired problem-solving capacity within family functioning may constitute a risk factor for NSSI behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders.

Background/Aims:
Natural killer (NK) cell function is generally considered dampened in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection; however, the NK cell pool exhibits phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, and the antibody--mediated effect of NK cells remains less characterized. This study evaluated the dynamic changes in antibody-mediated NK cell responses and the involvement of distinct NK subsets across disease stages and during antiviral treatment.
Methods:
A T-cell receptor-like antibody specific for the HBV core 18–27 peptide (cTCRL-Ab) was used to determine the antibody-mediated effect of NK cells, and an array of NK cell surface markers were analyzed in cross-sectional and longitudinal cohorts of patients with chronic HBV infection. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to identify the heterogeneity of NK subsets.
Results:
The cTCRL-Ab enabled the detection of NK cell cytolytic activity and IFNγ production. Notably, cTCRL-Ab-mediated NK cell responses were compromised in chronically HBV-infected patients, particularly in those receiving pegylated interferon-α (Peg-IFNα), which was associated with the downregulation of CD16 expression. Correspondingly, Peg-IFNα inhibited cTCRL-Ab-mediated NK cell function by reducing CD16 expression in vitro. scRNA-seq revealed that CD16 downregulation occurred mainly within a dysfunctional CD16hi NK subset exhibiting exhaustion properties. In contrast, an activated CD16hiNK subpopulation (CX3CR1⁺KLRC2–CD16hi) with high cytotoxicity was enriched in patients who experienced favorable treatment responses. Furthermore, the intrahepatic CX3CR1+KLRC2–CD16hi subset tended to exhibit functional restoration in HBsAg-loss individuals.
Conclusions
Our data contribute to the understanding of antibody-mediated responses of NK cells in chronic HBV infection, and highlight a previously unappreciated functional CX3CR1+KLRC2–CD16hiNK subset as a potential therapeutic target.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)is a common respiratory emergency,but current clinical treatment remains at the level of symptomatic support and there is a lack of effective targeted treatment measures.Our previous study confirmed that inhalation of hydrogen gas can reduce the acute lung injury of ARDS,but the application of hydrogen has flammable and explosive safety concerns.Drinking hydrogen-rich liquid or inhaling hydrogen gas has been shown to play an important role in scavenging reactive oxygen species and maintaining mitochondrial quality control balance,thus improving ARDS in patients and animal models.Coral calcium hydrogenation(CCH)is a new solid molecular hydrogen carrier prepared from coral calcium(CC).Whether and how CCH affects acute lung injury in ARDS re-mains unstudied.In this study,we observed the therapeutic effect of CCH on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)induced acute lung injury in ARDS mice.The survival rate of mice treated with CCH and hydrogen inhalation was found to be comparable,demonstrating a significant improvement compared to the untreated ARDS model group.CCH treatment significantly reduced pulmonary hemorrhage and edema,and improved pulmonary function and local microcirculation in ARDS mice.CCH promoted mitochon-drial peripheral division in the early course of ARDS by activating mitochondrial thioredoxin 2(Trx2),improved lung mitochondrial dysfunction induced by LPS,and reduced oxidative stress damage.The results indicate that CCH is a highly efficient hydrogen-rich agent that can attenuate acute lung injury of ARDS by improving the mitochondrial function through Trx2 activation.

Objective:To assess common errors in head and neck CT angiography (CTA) image reports using four types of large language models (LLM), namely GPT-4, DeepSeek, ERNIE Bot and SparkDesk, and to assess the feasibility of using existing LLMs to support quality control of radiology reports in Chinese.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. Totally 1 000 head and neck CTA image reports were randomly selected using the simple random sampling method from Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University in 2023, including 500 primary reports and 500 finalized reports. Two radiologists collaboratively identified six types of errors in the reports: description errors, writing errors, left-right confusion errors, diagnostic omissions, logical sequence errors, and other errors. The overall quality of the reports was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. Subsequently, GPT-4, DeepSeek, ERNIE Bot and SparkDesk models were employed to detect the same six types of errors in the imaging reports and to provide overall scoring. The results from manual review were considered the gold standard for calculating F1 score to evaluate model performance. Intra-class correlation coefficients ( ICC) were used to assess the consistency between manual scores and the overall scores from the four LLMs. Results:In the primary imaging reports, the proportions of manually detected errors were as follows: descriptive errors 2.6% (13/500), writing errors 0.6% (3/500), left-right confusion errors 0, diagnostic omissions 6.4% (32/500), logical sequence errors 5.2% (26/500), and other errors 0. In the finalized imaging reports, the proportions of errors across the six categories were 0.2% (1/500), 0, 0, 0, 0, and 0.2% (1/500), respectively. For error detection in the primary imaging reports, the F1 scores of GPT-4 for the six error types were 0.992, 0.997, 0.997, 0.967, 0.980, and 0.992, respectively. DeepSeek achieved F1 scores of 0.980, 0.955, 0.981, 0.920, 0.995, and 0.960; ERNIE Bot scored 0.982, 0.990, 1.000, 0.956, 0.976, and 0.999; and SparkDesk achieved 0.985, 0.995, 1.000, 0.961, 0.982, and 1.000. In the detection of errors in finalized imaging reports, GPT-4′s F1 scores were 0.994, 0.995, 0.998, 0.973, 0.989, and 0.993; DeepSeek scored 0.968, 0.965, 0.985, 0.971, 0.991, and 0.983; ERNIE Bot achieved 0.996, 0.992, 1.000, 0.983, 0.999, and 0.997; and SparkDesk achieved 0.999, 0.999, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, and 0.999. The consistency between GPT-4, DeepSeek, and SparkDesk models and human ratings was moderate, with ICC values of 0.514, 0.560, and 0.515 respectively (all P0.001); in contrast, the overall score of ERNIE Bot showed poor consistency with human ratings, with an ICC of 0.221 ( P0.001). Conclusion:LLMs demonstrate high accuracy in detecting errors in head and neck CTA imaging reports. The overall scoring of report quality shows moderate consistency with manual assessments, indicating a certain feasibility for automated quality control in reporting.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy,safety,and prognostic factors associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)in pa-tients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)comorbid with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods:Clinical and patholo-gical data were collected from 100 patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ NSCLC who received one or more cycles of ICI treatment at Peking University Shougang Hospital between January 2018 and October 2024 were collected.Based on COPD diagnosis,patients were assigned into the NSCLC with COPD(LC-COPD,n=52)and NSCLC without COPD(non-COPD,n=48)groups.The efficacy,safety,and prognostic factors of ICIs treatment were retrospectively analyzed in both groups.Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method,and survival rates were compared using the Log-rank test.Results:Among the patients who received ICIs treatment,median progression-free survival(PFS)in the LC-COPD group was longer than that in the non-COPD group(11.97 vs.7.83 months,P=0.022),but no significant difference was detec-ted in overall survival(OS)(22.37 vs.16.80 months,P=0.110).Compared with the LC-COPD group and patients with normal lung function,the preserved ratio impaired spirometry(PRISm)subgroup showed worse median PFS and OS following immunotherapy(all P<0.05).Multivari-ate analysis revealed that COPD comorbidity,programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1)expression,treatment line,and neutrophil to lympho-cyte ratio(NLR)were independently associated with PFS(P<0.05).Additionally,PD-L1 expression,immunotherapy efficacy,NLR,and inhaled corticosteroids(ICS)use were significantly associated with OS(P<0.05).The incidence of immune-related adverse events was comparable between the two groups.Conclusions:ICI treatment demonstrated a greater positive impact on PFS in patients with NSCLC and COPD than in patients with NSCLC alone in a real-world study,with a good safety profile in both groups.NSCLC patients with PRISm showed poorer out-comes following ICI treatment.PD-L1 expression,FeNO,NLR,and ICS may serve as potential predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy effic-acy in NSCLC patients with COPD.
