Objective To understand the current status of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) control in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent isolated CABG in Beijing Anzhen Hospital in 2023 were collected. All patients returned to our hospital approximately one year after surgery (10-13 months) for a lipid level recheck. We analyzed their LDL-C attainment status and influencing factors. Patients were categorized into two groups based on whether their LDL-C met the target: a LDL-C attainment group and a LDL-C non-attainment group. Results This study included 1456 patients who underwent CABG, including 320 females and 1136 males, with an average age of (61.41±9.12) years. One year post-surgery, 234 patients achieved the LDL-C target, with an attainment rate of 16.07%. The proportion of patients in the LDL-C attainment group who were ultra-high risk (77.35% vs. 92.06%, P＜0.001), female (16.24% vs. 23.08%, P=0.021), and those with comorbid hypertension (55.98% vs. 63.18%, P=0.038) was significantly lower than those in the LDL-C non-attainment group. Additionally, the baseline body mass index (BMI) [(25.37±3.24) kg/m2 vs. (26.03±3.56) kg/m2, P=0.017], total cholesterol levels [(3.30±0.84) mmol/L vs. (4.01±1.03) mmol/L, P＜0.001], LDL-C [(1.62±0.63) mmol/L vs. (2.25±0.85) mmol/L, P＜0.001], and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [(0.98±0.26) mmol/L vs. (1.02±0.24) mmol/L, P=0.049] upon admission in the attainment group were all lower than those in the non-attainment group. Moreover, the lipid-lowering drug usage rate in the attainment group (100.00% vs. 96.24%, P=0.003) and the proportion using two types of drugs together (25.21% vs. 10.72%, P＜0.001) were both higher than those in the non-attainment group, while the statin monotherapy rate was lower than that in the non-attainment group (74.79% vs. 85.19%, P＜0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that baseline BMI (OR=0.928, P=0.012) and baseline LDL-C levels (OR=0.207, P<0.001), patient cardiovascular risk stratification (OR=0.155, P<0.001) and lipid-lowering drug treatment regimen (OR=3.758, P<0.001) are significant factors affecting the LDL-C control status. Conclusion The LDL-C compliance rate of patients undergoing CABG is at a relatively low level 1 year after surgery. Patients with very high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, high baseline LDL-C levels, and overweight or obesity should be strengthened lipid management. For these patients, the intensity of lipid-lowering drug use or combination medication should be increased upon discharge.

Objective: To explore the association between mental health and muscle strength among Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18, providing a theoretical foundation and intervention strategies for mental health promotion. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health, including 98 631 Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18. Psychological distress was assessed by using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and mental well being was measured with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (WEMWBS). Based on the gender and age specific Z scores of various test items [grip strength, standing long jump, pull ups (for males), and sit ups (for females)], muscle strength index (MSI) was constructed to evaluate the comprehensive level of muscle strength in adolescents. According to the Dual factor Model (DFM) of mental health, participants were categorized into four groups:troubled, symptomatic but content, vulnerable, and complete mental health. Gender differences were analyzed by using Chi-square tests, trends were tested with Cochran-Armitage tests, and multinomial Logistic regression models were applied to assess associations between muscle strength and mental health among adolescents. Results: In 2019, 37.4% of Chinese adolescents aged 13-18 were reported of high mental distress, and 59.9% were reported of low mental well being. Boys had significantly lower rates of high mental distress (35.3%) and low mental well being (55.6%) compared to girls (39.4%, 64.3%), and the differences were of statistical significance ( χ 2=176.13, 780.42, both P <0.05). In 2019, the rate of complete mental health among adolescents showed a downward trend with increasing age ( χ 2 trend = 258.47) and a gradual upward trend with increasing muscle strength levels ( χ 2 trend =123.14)，and both boys and girls exhibited similar trends ( χ 2 trend =103.83, 168.46; 57.00 , 67.34) (all P <0.05). The results of the unordered multiclass Logistic regression model showed that after controlling for confounding factors such as age and gender, when the completely pathological group as a reference, for every 1 unit increase in MSI in adolescents, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 29% ( OR = 1.29); for every unit increase in the Z-score for pull ups, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 6% ( OR =1.06) among boys; for every 1 unit increase in sit up Z score, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 19% ( OR =1.19) among girls (all P <0.05). Conclusions The mental health status of Chinese adolescents is not good enough. Muscle strength is positively associated with mental health.

Objective: To systematically review the development and changes in mental health policies within the National Outline for Children s Development in China from 1992 to 2030, providing a reference basis for future formulation of mental health policies among children and adolescent in China. Methods: Based on the four editions of the National Outline for Children s Development in China across different periods from 1992 to 2030, word frequency analysis was used to reveal shifts in policy priorities, and an internationally recognized framework for adolescent health policy analysis was applied to conduct a textual review. Results: Word frequency analysis revealed that the term "psychological" appeared 6 times in the National Outline for Children s Development in China (2001-2010) but increased to 20 times in the National Outline for Children s Development in China (2021-2030) (abbreviated as the National Outline of 2021), while the term "health" rose from 4 times in the National Outline for Children s Development Plan in China in the 1990s to 68 times in the National Outline of 2021. The scope of mental health policy interventions expanded to encompass five key areas:health, safety, education, welfare and legal protection. Textual analysis highlighted that the policies of the National Outline for Children s Development in China were demand driven, prioritized vulnerable groups and continuously broadened their coverage, emphasizing sustainability and appropriateness, and monitoring/evaluation mechanisms. By 2023, 42.3% of primary schools and 64.8% of secondary schools employed full time mental health education teachers. However, the National Outline for Children s Development in China lacked direct evidence of children and adolescents participation in policy formulation, and publicly available mental health data disaggregated by age and gender remained limited. Conclusion Mental health policies of children and adolescents in China have evolved from nonexistence to gradual refinement, yet institutionalized channels for youth involvement in policy development and evaluation remain insufficient, and transparency in age and gender specific mental health data needs improvement.

Objective: To explore the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and its influencing factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 385 patients with ILD admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine) from January 2018 to June 2022. Data on sex, age, body mass index, smoking history, respiratory rate, hospitalization time, treatment cost, whether velcro rales can be heard, comorbidities with rheumatic immune diseases, TCM four examination information, and clinical examination results, including CT imaging, D-dimer level, and lung function-related indicators, were collected. The distribution pattern of TCM syndromes in patients with ILD and the association between TCM syndromes and clinical indicators were analyzed using the cluster analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis. Results: Among the 385 patients with ILD, sticky phlegm (59.74%) and shortness of breath (56.10%) were common symptoms, while greasy tongue coating (55.32%), red tongue (52.73%), and slippery and rapid pulse (25.71%) were common tongue and pulse manifestations. The patients were divided into five syndromes using cluster analysis: syndrome of phlegm-heat stagnation in the lung (36.62%), syndrome of turbid phlegm obstructing lung (29.35%), syndrome of deficiency of both qi and yin (12.99%), syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and kidney (11.95%), and syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstructing lung (9.09%). The D-dimer level was lower in patients with syndrome of phlegm-heat stagnation in the lung, syndrome of turbid phlegm obstructing lung, syndrome of deficiency of both qi and yin, and syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and kidney than in those with syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstructing lung (P<0.05). The percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%pred) of patients with syndrome of phlegm-heat stagnation in the lung, syndrome of turbid phlegm obstructing lung, syndrome of deficiency of both qi and yin, and syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstructing lung was higher than in those with syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and kidney (P<0.05). Among patients aged 60 and above, those with syndrome of phlegm-heat stagnation in the lung, syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstructing lung, and syndrome of deficiency of both qi and yin containing dual pathogenic syndrome elements were more likely to experience moderate to severe pulmonary diffusion impairment than those with syndrome of turbid phlegm obstructing lung and syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and kidney containing single pathogenic syndrome elements (P<0.05). The Logistic regression showed that the FVC%pred was an influential factor for syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and kidney, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) between FVC%pred and the formation of syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and kidney was 0.676 (95%CI: 0.598-0.755), P=0.002. The sensitivity was 0.431, the specificity was 0.966, and the best threshold on the ROC curve of 0.397 was 79.1%. The D-dimer level was an influential factor in the formation of syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstructing lung. The AUC between D-dimer level and the formation of syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstructing lung was 0.729 (95%CI: 0.655-0.802), P<0.001. The sensitivity was 0.914, the specificity was 0.523, and the best threshold on the ROC curve of 0.437 was 0.675 mg/L. Conclusion syndrome of phlegm-heat stagnation in the lung and syndrome of turbid phlegm obstructing lung are common among patients with ILD. Complex pathological syndromes are more likely to exacerbate pulmonary diffusion dysfunction. The FVC%pred can assist in differentiating syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and kidney, whereas the D-dimer level can assist in differentiating syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstructing lung.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic interstitial lung disease, is characterized by aberrant wound healing, excessive scarring and the formation of myofibroblastic foci. Although the role of alternative splicing (AS) in the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis has garnered increasing attention, its specific contribution to pulmonary fibrosis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we identified an up-regulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7) in lung fibroblasts derived from IPF patients and a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model, and further characterized its functional role in both human fetal lung fibroblasts and mice. We demonstrated that enhanced expression of Srsf7 in mice spontaneously induced alveolar collagen accumulation. Mechanistically, we investigated alternative splicing events and revealed that SRSF7 modulates the alternative splicing of pyruvate kinase (PKM), leading to metabolic dysregulation and fibroblast activation. In vivo studies showed that fibroblast-specific knockout of Srsf7 in conditional knockout mice conferred resistance to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Importantly, through drug screening, we identified lomitapide as a novel modulator of SRSF7, which effectively mitigated experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Collectively, our findings elucidate a molecular pathway by which SRSF7 drives fibroblast metabolic dysregulation and propose a potential therapeutic strategy for pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective To analyze the effects of postoperative radiotherapy and other factors on the prognosis of metastatic sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma(sRCC)so as to provide reference for the clinical decision-making.Methods Data of all sRCC patients during 2004-2018 were extracted from the American Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results(SEER)database,and 337 patients were ultimately enrolled.Patients were divided into the postoperative non-radiotheropy group(n=255)and postoperative radiotherapy group(n=82)based on different treatment modalities.Baseline data were compared between the two groups.The 1-year overall survival(OS)and cancer-specific survival(CSS)rates were calculated.Kaplan-Meier(K-M)survival curves were plotted.The prognostic factors were identified with univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses.Results No significant differences were observed in baseline data between the two groups(P＞0.05).The 1-year OS(25.6％vs.30.1％)and CSS(26.2％vs.30.8％)in the postoperative radiotherapy group were lower than those in the postoperative no-radiotheropy group,but the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that year of diagnosis,patients' age,tumor size,T stage,N stage and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors of sRCC(P＜0.05).Patients diagnosed in 2015-2018 and treated with chemotherapy had a good prognosis,while patients＞61 years,with tumor size＞147 mm,tumor stage T3-T4,and stage N1 had a poor prognosis.Conclusion The year of diagnosis,patients'age,tumor size,tumor stage and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors,and postoperative radiotherapy did not significantly improve the prognosis of metastatic sRCC patients.

Objective:To explore the role of P2Y1Receptor(P2Y1R)-activated astrocytes in delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning(DEACMP).Methods:SD rats were randomly divided into Control,DEACMP,DEACMP+DMSO,and DEACMP+MRS2179 groups.The latter three groups were exposed to static CO inhalation to establish the DEACMP model,while the Control group inhaled air.The rats in DEACMP+MRS2179 group were injec-ted with 3 μl of P2Y1R antagonist MRS2179 with concentration of 1 mmol/L via lateral ventricle,while the DEACMP+DMSO group an equal volume of DMSO.At 14 and 21 day after DEACMP model establishment,the spatial learning and memory ability of rats were observed by Morris water maze,the injury of pyramidal cells in the CA1 area of the hippo-campus was observed by HE staining.The protein levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)and P2Y1receptor(P2Y1R)in the hippocampal tissues of rats were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The expressions of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the hippocampal tissues of rats were detected by ELISA.Results:In comparison with the Control group,the escape latency was found to be signifi-cantly prolonged in the DEACMP group and the DEACMP+DMSO group.Furthermore,the expression levels of GFAP,P2Y1R,IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α were significantly increased in the pyramidal cells of the CA1 region of the hippocam-pal tissue(P<0.05).In contrast,the escape latency was significantly reduced and the expression levels of GFAP,P2Y1R,IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α were significantly decreased in the DEACMP+MRS2179 group when compared with the DEACMP+DMSO group(P<0.05).Conclusion:P2Y1R activates astrocytes to release inflammatory factors lead-ing to the onset of cognitive impairment in DEACMP,and inhibition of P2Y1R reduces the expression of inflammatory factors and thus improves cognitive function in DEACMP.

Objective To develop a Nomogram clinical prediction model for the pathological occurrence of extraprostatic extension(EPE)after radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients,using simplified site-specific magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)indicators and other clinical parameters.Methods A total of 181 prostate cancer patients[mean age(69.0±7.3)years]who underwent radical prostatectomy were included.These patients had received 3-Tesla multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging(3-T mpMRI)within 6 months prior to surgery.Based on mpMRI measurements[capsular contact length(CCL)>15 mm,capsular bulging/irregularities,diameter of index lesion(dIL),and evident extraprostatic extension(eEPE)],the dIL?sEPE grading system was derived.The optimal cut-off value of dIL(denoted as dIL)was determined using the Youden J index,and categorized it into a binary variable.A Logistic regression model was established based on the dIL?sEPE grading and clinical scores.The predictive performance of clinical indicators,MRI indicators,and combined clinical and MRI indicators were compared.Finally,a clinical prediction model integrating both clinical and MRI data was developed.Results Pathological EPE was found in 46 out of 181 cases(25.4% ).A Nomogram prediction model for EPE was established with a combination of the dIL?sEPE grading and clinical indicators.Conclusion The combination of dIL?sEPE grading with clinical indicators accurately predicts extracapsular extension in prostate cancer.The Nomogram model that established,based on MRI imaging characteristics and clinical indicators has good performance and is easy to use.It is beneficial to stratifying management for prostate cancer patients,and it provides valuable guidance for patients suitable for nerve-sparing surgery.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of lightroom therapy on depressive mood and sleep problems in patients with depression, and the potential effects on physiological indices related to circadian rhythms.Methods:From October 2021 to July 2023, 54 patients with acute-phase depression hospitalized in the Mental Health Center of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University were recruited. The participants were randomly assigned to either medication combined with the bright light therapy group (bright light group, n=36) or medication combined with the dim light therapy group (dim light group, n=18). Both groups received light therapy for 2 weeks, at 10 000 lx in the bright light group and 300 lx in the dim light group. Both groups received 30 minutes of light therapy from 7:30-8:00 a.m daily over two weeks, followed up for 1 week post-treatment. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD 17) was used to assess patients′ depressive symptoms, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess patients′ sleep quality at baseline, at the end of every week. The 32-Item Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32) was used at the end of week 2 to assess the risk of manic switching after treatment. Daily measurements of body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure were taken before and after light therapy, along with recording adverse events related to the therapy. Paired t- tests were used to compare changes in physiological indicators before and after treatment, and repeated measures ANOVA was applied to compare clinical symptom changes between the two groups. Results:Thirty-one and fifteen patients completed this study in the bright light and dim light groups, respectively, with no statistically significant difference in dropout rates( P>0.05). There were significant interaction effects between the time and group for HAMD 17 and PSQI score( F=5.51,4.11, both P<0.05). Both groups showed significant reductions in HAMD 17 and PSQI scores at baseline, week 1, week 2, and week 3 ( P<0.001). In the bright light group, body temperature increased significantly post-treatment on days 1-4, day 7, and day 12 (all P<0.05). Heart rate elevated on day 5 ( P<0.05).Systolic blood pressure decreased on days 4, 5, 11, and 12 compared to the pre-treatment baseline(all P<0.05). In the dim light group, systolic blood pressure increased on day 11 ( P<0.05). Diastolic blood pressure in the bright light group decreased on days 1, 5, and 6( P<0.05). No serious adverse events, vision loss, ocular structural changes occurred in either group. No hypomania or mania episodes were observed. The incidence of adverse events did not differ significantly ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Medication combined with indoor bright light is more effective than the combination of dim light for depressive symptoms and sleep problems in patients with depression. Patients receiving bright light also may exhibit a higher body temperature, accelerated heart rate, and reduced blood pressure.
