BackgroundLow medication compliance among patients with severe mental disorders increases the disease burden on both the patients' families and the society. Medication adherence is influenced by numerous factors. Traditional methods such as Logistic regression struggle to quantify the importance of these factors. By introducing Extreme Gradient Boosting （XGBoost） combined with Shapley Additive Explanations （SHAP）， enables the quantification of the relative contribution weights of each factor， providing support for identifying the core influencing factors. ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of medication adherence among patients with severe mental disorders in Zhuhai， aiming to provide references for optimizing patient management strategies. MethodsExtract the data of patients with severe mental disorders who were registered on the mental health system platform in Zhuhai City from January 1， 2023 to March 31， 2025. A total of 9 329 patients were finally included for analysis. Influencing factors were screened using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis， and an XGBoost model combined with the SHAP algorithm was constructed to quantify the importance of each influencing factor. ResultsAmong 9 329 patients， 8 446 demonstrated medication adherence， yielding an adherence rate of 90.53%. Multivariable analysis identified several risk factors significantly associated with medication non-adherence， being unmarried （OR=1.237， 95% CI： 1.019–1.502） or divorced （OR=1.389， 95% CI： 1.038–1.832）， a diagnosis of mental retardation with psychiatric disorders （OR=3.025， 95% CI： 2.402–3.796） or paranoid psychosis （OR=5.117， 95% CI： 3.086–8.299）， a disease duration of 2–4 years （OR=1.355， 95% CI： 1.085–1.696）， 4–6 years （OR=2.143， 95% CI： 1.671–2.747）， or >6 years （OR=1.681， 95% CI： 1.365–2.079）， lack of guardian subsidies （OR=1.412， 95% CI： 1.099–1.801）， absence of a disability certificate （OR=1.900， 95% CI： 1.588–2.282）， not being enrolled in care and support groups （OR=1.384， 95% CI： 1.183–1.617） or community services （OR=1.313， 95% CI： 1.042–1.645）， and not cohabiting with a guardian （OR=1.257， 95% CI： 1.048–1.501）. Conversely， the enrollment in special outpatient disease programs （OR=0.716， 95% CI： 0.609–0.842） and a family history of mental illness （OR=0.713， 95% CI： 0.503–0.982） were identified as protective factors. The XGBoost model exhibited robust predictive performance， with a sensitivity of 0.433， specificity of 0.944， accuracy of 0.891， Area Under the Curve （AUC） of 0.837， and F1 value of 0.449. Feature importance ranking indicated that the top three factors were disease duration， diagnosis， and the acquisition of disability certificates. ConclusionPolicy-based support （acquisition of disability certificates， special outpatient disease enrollment） and clinical disease characteristics （disease duration， diagnosis type） are key factors affecting medication adherence among patients with severe mental disorders in Zhuhai City. ［Funded by Zhuhai Medical Research Project （number， 2220009000281）］

ObjectiveThe most prevalent mRNA modification, N6-methyladenosine (m⁶A) plays an important role in various RNA metabolism, including gene expression and translation. By recruiting different “reader” proteins and their cofactors, m⁶A modification can affect messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation, splicing, nuclear export and translation. However, the selective mechanism by which m⁶A sites regulate mRNA translation through m⁶A reader YTHDF1 binding remains poorly understood, due to a lack of computational methods for identifying context-specific m⁶A sites that regulate translation. To address this, we developed a novel computational framework named m⁶ATEpre, the first tool designed to predict cell-specific m⁶A sites that regulate translation efficiency. Methodsm⁶ATEpre integrates multi-omics data, introduces a novel feature representation strategy for m⁶A site sequences, and employs an autoencoder to effectively capture embedded feature representations. Specifically, m⁶ATEpre first integrated MeRIP-seq data and PAR-CLIP data through overlapping m⁶A sites with YTHDF1 binding sites and identified YTHDF1-mediated m⁶A sites. Then, m⁶ATEpre detected the translation gene by analyzing the Ribo-seq data under YTHDF1 knockdown vs control condition. Genes whose translation is mediated by YTHDF1 in an m⁶A-dependent manner were identified by a significant decrease in translation efficiency upon YTHDF1 knockdown. Next, we proposed a binary vector indicating the presence or absence of YTHDF1 binding motifs to characterize each m⁶A site sequence. This represents a novel feature representation strategy for m⁶A sites. m⁶ATEpre utilized the autoencoder to extract the potentially important feature representations and constructed a multilayer perceptron neural networks model to predict potential m⁶A sites that regulating translation efficiency. ResultsA comprehensive evaluation of m⁶ATEpre was conducted through a series of experiments. We compared its performance against that of a similar prediction task model, as well as other classifiers. The results indicate that m⁶ATEpre achieved the best prediction performance. In addition, we analyzed different feature representation strategies and performed ablation experiments to validate the rationality of the model design. The results demonstrate that our proposed feature representation strategy has a greater advantage in improving prediction performance. In the HeLa cell line, bioinformatic analysis of the metagene distribution and sequence minimum free energy of m⁶A sites regulating translation efficiency (m⁶A-reg-TE sites) revealed their specific properties in translation regulation. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that m⁶A-reg-TE genes are associated with specific biological processes and KEGG pathways. By integrating the binding sites of YTHDF1 co-factors with m⁶A-reg-TE sites, we revealed that YTHDF1-mediated and m⁶A-dependent translation efficiency regulation requires the cooperation of multiple translation-regulatory RNA-binding proteins among its co-factors in the HeLa cell line. Furthermore, we extended our predictions to the dataset of the HEK293T cell line. Similarly, bioinformatic analysis of the metagene distribution and functional enrichment revealed the cell-specific characteristic of these predicted m⁶A-reg-TE sites in HEK293T cells. Likewise, integrated analysis of multiple YTHDF1 co-factors and m⁶A-reg-TE sites predicted in the HEK293T cell line reveals their m⁶A-dependent cooperation in regulating translation efficiency. Conclusionm⁶ATEpre is a timely tool that will advance our understanding of the mechanisms of m⁶A regulation in translation efficiency.

Drawing on recent advances in modern fascial anatomy and biomechanics， this paper interprets the biomechanical implications of yin-yang balance at the physical level from the perspective of holistic force lines. It posits that holistic force lines represent the functional expression of mechanical load transmission and integration within the myofascial network； the channel sinews system and myofascial chains exhibit significant similarities in terms of their distribution， functional attributes， and principles of holistic regulation， and can thus be understood as structural-functional carriers of yin-yang balance. Accordingly， this paper provides a biomechanical interpretation of the yin-yang relationship from four aspects， including interdependence， mutual restriction， dynamic balance through waxing and waning， and mutual transformation， proposing that in a healthy state， the body relies on the continuous integration， distribution， and readjustment of the myofascial tension network to maintain overall coordination， whereas disease states are often associated with compensatory transmission of local tension abnormalities along holistic force lines， the accumulation of imbalances， and structural rigidity. The holistic force-line perspective provides a biomechanical explanatory framework for the theory of yin-yang balance and offers a new theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment to shift from empirical holistic balancing toward holistic force-line balancing based on posture， function， and tension transmission pathways.

Thoracoscopic mitral valve replacement is a common minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedure. However, small annulus, severe calcification of the annulus, and severe thickening of the posterior valve leaflet or sub valvular structure are the difficulties of thoracoscopic mitral valve replacement. Improper treatment can easily lead to left ventricular rupture or prosthesis-patient mismatch. This paper reports a thoracoscopic mitral bioprosthesis replacement case using the chimney technique in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital and summarizes its operating key points. The patient was a 68-year-old female, weighing 36 kg. The preoperative diagnosis was rheumatic mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation, the preoperative transthoracic echocardiogram showed the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was 39 mm. The surgical effect was satisfactory. The patient was in good condition at the follow-up 2 months after the operation.

Objective: To understand the smoking-related behaviors and influencing factors of current smoking among medical staff in Fengtai District, Beijing Municipality, so as to provide the reference for reducing the current smoking rate of medical staff. Methods: Medical staff in 28 medical and health institutions in Fengtai District were selected as the survey subjects from February to March and July to August 2023. Basic information, smoking and smoking cessation behaviors, and the provision of brief smoking cessation intervention services were collected through electronic questionnaires. Factors affecting current smoking among medical staff were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 6 716 questionnaires were allocated, and 6 714 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 99.97%. There were 1 590 males (23.68%) and 5 124 females (76.32%). There were 3 315 medical staff in clinical department, accounting for 49.37%. There were 457 current smokers and the current smoking rate among medical staff was 6.81%. The proportion of medical staff in clinical departments who were current smokers and provided brief smoking cessation intervention services was 72.99%, which was lower than that of non-current smokers at 85.18% (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that medical staff in secondary and above hospitals (OR=1.454, 95%CI: 1.136-1.862), male (OR=51.158, 95%CI: 34.810-75.183), work experience of 10~<20 years (OR=1.492, 95%CI: 1.065~2.092) or ≥30 years (OR=1.574, 95%CI: 1.011~2.449), those with positions (OR=1.644, 95%CI: 1.159-2.332), and those in logistics departments (OR=2.124, 95%CI: 1.278-3.528) or other departments (OR=2.011, 95%CI: 1.297-3.118) had a higher likelihood of being current smokers. On the contrary, medical staff with a bachelor's or junior college education level (OR=0.487, 95%CI: 0.346-0.685) or a master's degree or above (OR=0.268, 95%CI: 0.159-0.454), and those with an intermediate professional title (OR=0.430, 95%CI: 0.291-0.636) or a senior professional title (OR=0.452, 95%CI: 0.283-0.723) had a lower likelihood of being current smokers. A total of 214 medical staff successfully quit smoking, and the smoking cessation rate was 31.89%. Among them, 20, 18, and 17 medical staff had used the smoking cessation service hotline, visited smoking cessation clinics, and taken smoking cessation medications, respectively. In the past year, 199 medical staff who were current smokers (43.54%) had attempted to quit smoking, and 280 medical staff who were current smokers (61.27%) had the willingness to quit smoking. Conclusions The current smoking rate among medical staff in Fengtai District is relatively high. Hospital level, gender, educational level, work experience, position, professional title, and department are influencing factors for current smoking among medical staff. It is necessary to enhance the willingness of medical staff to quit smoking and their understanding of smoking cessation intervention services, so as to reduce the current smoking rate.

Callicarpa is an important medicinal plant in China, which has hemostatic, antibacterial, and antioxidant pharmacological effects, and the efficacy of astringing and arresting bleeding, clearing heat and detoxification, activating blood, and resolving stasis is outstanding. At the same time, Callicarpa can be used as an ornamental plant because of its gorgeous flowers and fruits. Callicarpa has good market development prospects, but the long seed reproduction cycle directly limits the large demand for seedlings in its industrial development. Asexual reproduction technology is the basis for the industrialization development of Callicarpa, which is helpful in producing high-quality seedlings and medicinal materials. Although Chinese and foreign scholars have achieved remarkable results in the study of asexual reproduction of Callicarpa, there is no report on the large-scale production of seedlings of Callicarpa. Integrating and improving its asexual reproduction technology can promote the development and utilization of Callicarpa, improve its medicinal value, and create significant economic benefits. Therefore, the authors reviewed the effects of cutting, season, plant growth regulators, substrates, environment, and management measures on the cutting of Callicarpa and the research progress of tissue culture propagation affected by explants, basic media, exogenous additives, subculture cycles, culture conditions, and transplanting substrates. The mechanism of adventitious root formation was reviewed at the cellular, physiological, and biochemical levels, so as to put forward the problems and corresponding solutions in the study of asexual propagation technology and regulatory mechanism of Callicarpa and point out the future research directions. The study aims to provide a reference for in-depth research on the asexual propagation technology of Callicarpa and the commercial production of its high-quality seedlings.

OBJECTIVE: Observational studies have found associations between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and vascular dementia (VD); however, these findings are inconsistent. It remains unclear whether these associations are causal. METHODS: We conducted a meta-analysis by systematically searching for observational studies on the association between IBD and dementia. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis based on summary genome-wide association studies (GWASs) was performed. Genetic correlation and Bayesian co-localization analyses were used to provide robust genetic evidence. RESULTS: Ten observational studies involving 80,565,688 participants were included in this meta-analysis. IBD was significantly associated with dementia (risk ratio [ RR] =1.36, 95% CI = 1.04-1.78; I ² = 84.8%) and VD ( RR = 2.60, 95% CI = 1.18-5.70; only one study), but not with AD ( RR = 2.00, 95% CI = 0.96-4.13; I ² = 99.8%). MR analyses did not supported significant causal associations of IBD with dementia (dementia: odds ratio [ OR] = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.98-1.03; AD: OR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.95-1.01; VD: OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.97-1.07). In addition, genetic correlation and co-localization analyses did not reveal any genetic associations between IBD and dementia. CONCLUSION Our study did not provide genetic evidence for a causal association between IBD and dementia risk. The increased risk of dementia observed in observational studies may be attributed to unobserved confounding factors or detection bias.
