Objective:To explore the relationship between maternal rejection and internet addiction in college students, as well as the chain mediating role of rejection sensitivity and adaptability.Methods:From March to May 2024, a total of 1 119 college students were surveyed using the short-form Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppforstran for Chinese(s-EMBU-C), internet addiction test(IAT), rejection sensitivity questionnaire(RSQ), and the China college student adjustment scale(CCSAS).SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product moment correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis, and PROCESS 4.0 macro program was used for chain mediation analysis. Results:(1)Maternal rejection (11.19±2.97) was positively correlated with internet addiction (44.89±9.74)( r=0.60, P<0.01) and rejection sensitivity (102.93±55.63)( r=0.63, P<0.01), while negatively correlated with adaptability (200.19±14.18)( r=-0.56, P<0.01) among college students. Rejection sensitivity was positively correlated with internet addiction ( r=0.75, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with adaptability ( r=-0.76, P<0.01). Adaptability was negatively correlated with internet addiction ( r=-0.68, P<0.01). (2)Maternal rejection had a significant direct effect on internet addiction among college students (effect value=0.193, 95% CI=0.145-0.241), accounting for 32.06%(0.193/0.602) of the total effect. Rejection sensitivity mediated the relationship between maternal rejection and internet addiction (effect value=0.290, 95% CI=0.232-0.357), accounting for 48.17%(0.290/0.602) of the total effect. Adaptability also mediated this relationship (effect value=0.028, 95% CI=0.009-0.053), accounting for 4.65%(0.028/0.602) of the total effect. Additionally, there was a chain mediation effect of rejection sensitivity and adaptability on the relationship between maternal rejection and internet addiction (effect value=0.091, 95% CI=0.052-0.130), accounting for 15.12%(0.091/0.602) of the total effect. Conclusion:Maternal rejection can directly influence internet addiction in college students, and it can also indirectly influence internet addiction through the independent mediating effects of rejection sensitivity and adaptability, as well as through the chain mediating effects of both rejection sensitivity and adaptability.

Objective:To evaluate the role of necroptosis in paclitaxel-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice.Methods:Thirty SPF healthy male C57BL/6N mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: vehicle control group (Veh group), paclitaxel group (PTX group), and paclitaxel+ a specific inhibitor of necroptosis Necrostatin-1 group (P+ N group). In PTX group and P+ N group, paclitaxel 10 mg/kg (diluted to 5 mg/ml in anhydrous ethanol and castor oil [1∶1], and further diluted to 1 mg/ml in 0.9% normal saline before use) was intraperitoneally injected daily for 7 consecutive days to induce cognitive dysfunction. P+ N group received an intraperitoneal injection of Necrostatin-1 6.5 mg/kg (diluted to 10 mg/ml in dimethyl sulfoxide, and further diluted to 1 mg/ml in 0.9% normal saline before use) at 2 h before paclitaxel administration every other day, 4 times in total. Veh group received the equal volume of solvent at the matched time points as previously described in P+ N group. After establishment of the model, spontaneous locomotor activity was assessed using the open field test, followed by the novel object recognition test and the Morris water maze to evaluate the cognitive function. The animals were sacrificed after the end of the Morris water maze test, and the hippocampal tissues were collected for determination of the expression of necroptosis-related proteins receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), and phospho-MLKL (p-MLKL) (by Western blot analysis) and contents of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (double immunofluorescence staining) and for observation of the localization of programmed necrosis cells (using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:There were no significant differences in the total distance traveled and mean movement speed in the open field test or swimming speed in the Morris water maze test among the three groups ( P>0.05). Compared to Veh group, the time spent in the central zone in the open field and time spent in the original platform quadrant were significantly shortened, the discrimination index was decreased, the escape latency was prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the expression of RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL and p-MLKL was up-regulated, the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were increased, and the number of RIPK1-positive neurons was increased in PTX group ( P<0.05). Compared to PTX group, the time spent in the central zone in the open field test and time spent in the original platform quadrant were significantly prolonged, the discrimination index was increased, the escape latency was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, the expression of RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL and p-MLKL was down-regulated, the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were decreased, and the number of RIPK1-positive neurons was decreased in P+ N group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Necroptosis in hippocampal neurons can lead to neuroinflammation, thus contributeing to paclitaxel-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of coronary angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) for identifying coronary functional abnormalities.Methods:This diagnostic study enrolled patients with clinically suspected or diagnosed coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital, and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between December 2021 and June 2022. All enrolled patients successfully underwent invasive wire-based FFR and IMR measurements during angiography. In a core laboratory, FFR and IMR for the target vessels were measured using artificial intelligence technology based on coronary angiographic images. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between angiography-derived FFR and wire-based FFR, and between angiography-derived IMR and wire-based IMR. Coronary hemodynamic abnormality was defined as FFR≤0.80; the diagnostic performance of angiography-derived FFR for identifying this abnormality was evaluated. Microcirculatory dysfunction was defined as IMR≥25; the diagnostic performance of angiography-derived IMR for identifying microcirculatory dysfunction was evaluated.Results:A total of 181 patients, aged (60.6±8.8) years, with 62 (34.3%) females, and 181 target vessels were included in the final analysis. Angiography-derived FFR showed a significant positive correlation with wire-based FFR ( r=0.78, P<0.001). For identifying coronary hemodynamic abnormality, angiography-derived FFR showed an accuracy of 89.0%, sensitivity of 88.8%, specificity of 89.1%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 88.8%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 89.1%, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ( AUC) of 0.88. Angiography-derived IMR showed a significant positive correlation with wire-based IMR ( r=0.93, P<0.001). For identifying microcirculatory dysfunction, angiography-derived IMR demonstrated an accuracy of 89.5%, sensitivity of 86.8%, specificity of 90.2%, PPV of 70.2%, NPV of 96.3%, and an AUC of 0.95. Conclusion:Angiography-derived FFR and IMR exhibit strong correlations with their invasive wire-based counterparts and demonstrate high diagnostic value for assessing coronary hemodynamics and coronary microcirculatory function.

Objective To propose a clinical typing method for lumbar degenerative disease(LDD),including the diagnostic criteria for each type and the corresponding surgical treatment strategies.Methods A total of 245 LDD patients who were admitted to Department of Orthopaedics,The Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from Jun.2017 to May 2022 were enrolled and assigned to nerve root type(42 cases),disc herniation type(73 cases),spinal stenosis type(61 cases),spondylolisthesis type(29 cases),and local type(40 cases)according to our diagnostic criteria of clinical typing.Treatment outcomes of various groups were compared and the reliability of the typing method was assessed using consistency test.Results A total of 205 cases received surgical treatment and 40 cases received non-surgical treatment.The surgical approach was modified transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.The patients were followed up for(20.37±6.13)months.According to Nakai's evaluation criteria,the clinical effect was excellent in 146(59.59％)cases,good in 89(36.33％)cases,fair in 8(3.27％)cases,and poor in 2(0.82％)cases,with an excellent and good rate of 95.92％.There were no significant differences in the treatment effects among different types of LDD(P＞0.05).The results of clinical consistency evaluation confirmed that the typing method had good consistency both within observers and between observers.Conclusion This clinical typing method can help to further understand the pathogenesis of LDD,improve the accuracy of diagnosis and optimize the treatment plan.

Addressing the enduring challenge of evaluating traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), the integrated evidence chain-based effectiveness evaluation of TCMs (Eff-iEC) has emerged. This paper explored its capacity through a demonstration study that evaluated the effectiveness evidence of six commonly used anti-hepatic fibrosis Chinese patent medicines (CPMs), including Biejiajian Pill (BP), Dahuang Zhechong Pill (DZP), Biejia Ruangan Compound (BRC), Fuzheng Huayu Capsule (FHC), Anluo Huaxian Pill (AHP), and Heluo Shugan Capsule (HSC), using both Eff-iEC and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. The recognition of these CPMs within the TCM academic community was also assessed through their inclusion in relevant medical documents. Results showed that the evidence of BRC and FHC received higher assessments in both Eff-iEC and GRADE system, while the assessments for others varied. Analysis of community recognition revealed that Eff-iEC more accurately reflects the clinical value of these CPMs, exhibiting superior evaluative capabilities. By breaking through the conventional pattern of TCMs effectiveness evaluation, Eff-iEC offers a novel epistemology that better aligns with the clinical realities and reasoning of TCMs, providing a coherent methodology for clinical decision-making, new drug evaluations, and health policy formulation.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for the formation of eggshell vertebral body after open reduction and internal fixation with posterior screw-rod system for thoracolumbar spine fractures. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 118 patients with thoracolumbar single-segment fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The First Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University between January 2020 and January 2023. The patients were divided into a case group (47 cases) and a control group (71 cases) according to whether an eggshell vertebral body developed in the injured vertebra after internal fixation with posterior screw-rod system. The 2 groups were compared in terms of gender, age, follow-up time, body mass index, history of primary hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score, local Cobb angle correction, presence or absence of screwing at the injured vertebra, fracture site, fracture type, presence or absence of injury to the posterior ligamentous complex, presence or absence of injury to the upper and lower discs/endplate complex in the injured vertebrae, recovery rates of the anterior, middle, and posterior heights of the injured vertebra, and preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. After positive indicators were screened by univariate analysis ( P<0.05), they were included in a multivariate logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) to analyze the risk factors for the formation of eggshell vertebral body after posterior screw-rod internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fractures. Results:Of the 118 patients, 47 developed an eggshell vertebral body after surgery. Univariate analysis showed that VBQ score, presence or absence of screwing at the injured vertebra, burst fracture type, injury to the posterior ligamentous complex, injury to the upper and lower discs/endplate complex in the injured vertebrae, recovery rate of the anterior height of the injured vertebra, recovery rate of the middle height of the injured vertebra were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis and ROC curve analysis showed that a VBQ score ≥ 2.95 points( OR=6.216, 95% CI: 1.890 to 20.441, P=0.003), a recovery rate of the anterior height of the injured vertebra ≥ 25.26% ( OR=1.097, 95% CI: 1.046 to 1.149, P<0.001), a burst fracture type ( OR=6.397, 95% CI: 1.733 to 23.617, P=0.005), and injury to the upper and lower discs/endplate complex in the injured vertebrae ( OR=7.581, 95% CI: 1.827 to 31.461, P=0.005) were significantly associated with the formation of eggshell vertebral body after open reduction and internal fixation with posterior screw-rod system for thoracolumbar spine fractures ( P<0.05). Conclusion:A VBQ score ≥ 2.95 points, a recovery rate of the anterior height of the injured vertebra ≥ 25.26%, a burst fracture type, and injury to the disc/endplate complex in the injured vertebrae are the independent risk factors for the formation of eggshell vertebral body after open reduction and internal fixation with posterior screw-rod system for thoracolumbar spine fractures.
