Objective: To investigate the association between screen time (ST) during leisure time and anxiety-depression symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide a basis for formulating relevant intervention measures. Methods: From November to December 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 542 students from junior and senior high school in Taiyuan City. A self designed questionnaire, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to investigate ST and anxiety/depression symptoms among middle school students. The Logistic regression model was used to explore the association of ST with symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as with anxiety and depression comorbiditles (CAD). Results: The detection rates of anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and CAD were 13.69%, 15.77%, and 10.11%, respectively. The median ST was 2.00 h/d [interquartile range ( IQR =2.38) for weekly averages], with 0.33 h/d ( IQR =1.67) on work days and 5.00 h/d ( IQR=5.50) on rest days. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the total ST of mobile phones during rest days ( OR =1.07, 1.10, 1.11) and the averages ST of mobile phones over a week ( OR = 1.20 , 1.22, 1.29), as well as the total ST of all screen types during rest days ( OR =1.04, 1.04, 1.05) and the averages ST of all screen types over a week ( OR =1.08, 1.09, 1.21) were positively correlated with anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and CAD (all P <0.01). Conclusions Among middle school students in Taiyuan City, screen time is positively correlated with symptoms of anxiety or depression and the comorbidity of anxiety and depression, especially smartphone screen time and weekend screen use. Therefore, measures should be implemented to reduce unnecessary screen time among middle school students, especially the use of mobile phones, in order to mitigate the occurrence of anxiety and depression.

BACKGROUND: Inflammation plays a critical role in severe cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) pathogenesis, but the benefits of anti-inflammatory therapies remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between steroid therapy combined with anticoagulation and the prognosis of acute/subacute severe CVT patients. METHODS: A prospective cohort study enrolled patients with acute/subacute severe CVT at Xuanwu Hospital (July 2020-January 2024). Patients were allocated into steroid and non-steroid groups based on the treatment they received. Functional outcomes (modified Rankin scale [mRS]) were evaluated at admission, discharge, and 6 months after discharge. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) IL-6, and intracranial pressure were measured at admission and discharge in the steroid group. Fundoscopic Frisén grades were assessed at admission and 6 months after discharge. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to evaluat associations between steroid use and favorable outcomes (mRS ≤2) at the 6-month follow-up. Paired tests assessed changes in hs-CRP and other variables before and after treatment, and Spearman's correlations were used to analyze relationships between these changes and functional improvements. RESULTS: A total of 107 and 58 patients in the steroid and non-steroid groups, respectively, were included in the analysis. Compared with the non-steroid group, the steroid group had a higher likelihood of achieving an mRS score of 0-2 (93.5% vs . 82.5%, odds ratio [OR] = 2.98, P  = 0.037) at the 6-month follow-up. After adjusting for confounding factors, the result remained consistent. Pulsed steroid therapy did not increase mortality during hospitalization or follow-up, nor did it lead to severe steroid-related complications (all P  >0.05). Patients in the steroid group showed a significant reduction in serum hs-CRP, IL-6, CSF IL-6, and intracranial pressure at discharge compared to at admission, as well as a significant reduction in the fundoscopic Frisén grade at the 6-month follow-up compare to at admission (all P  <0.001). A reduction in serum inflammatory marker levels during hospitalization positively correlated with improvements in functional outcomes ( P  <0.05). CONCLUSION: Short-term steroid use may be an effective and safe adjuvant therapy for acute/subacute severe CVT when used alongside standard anticoagulant treatments, which are likely due to suppression of the inflammatory response. However, these findings require further validation in randomized controlled trials. TRAIL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT05990894.

Objective To investigate the genetic association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)using bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR),as well as the causal relationship between NAFLD and T2DM across different body mass index(BMI)categories.Methods The data were derived from genome-wide association studies conducted in European populations,with a sample size of 32 941 cases for NAFLD,312 646 cases for T2DM,and 681 275 cases for BMI.The univariate and multivariate MR methods were used to assess the bidirectional causal relationship between NAFLD and T2DM in the general population and across different BMI subtypes.The methods of inverse-variance weighting,MR-Egger regression,constrained maximum likelihood and model averaging,and weighted median were used to conduct the MR analysis,and MR-Pleiotropy Residual Sum and Outlier,radial MR,the MR-Egger intercept method,and the Cochrane Q test were used for sensitivity analysis.Results The univariate MR analysis revealed a bidirectional causal relationship between NAFLD and T2DM in the general population(forward analysis:odds ratio[OR]=9.75,95%confidence interval[CI]:2.57-37.00,P＜0.001;reverse analysis:OR=1.01,95%CI:1.00-1.01,P＜0.01).After adjustment for BMI,the multivariate MR analysis showed that the causal relationship between NAFLD and T2DM remained significant in the general population(OR=33.12,95%CI:7.57-144.95,P＜0.000 1).The subgroup analysis showed a causal relationship between NAFLD and T2DM across all BMI subtypes(lean subgroup:OR=12.19,95%CI:3.35-44.40,P＜0.001;overweight subgroup:OR=4.30,95%CI:1.69-10.92,P＜0.01;obese subgroup:OR=1.67,95%CI:1.14-2.44,P＜0.01).Conclusion This study reveals the causal relationship between NAFLD and T2DM in the general population of NAFLD and across different BMI subtypes from a genetic perspective.

OBJECTIVE To explore the therapeutic effect and safety of Maiwei Yangfei Decoction(MWYF)in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis of qi-yin deficiency type.METHODS A total of 58 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis of qi-yin deficiency type were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group with 29 cases in each group according to a 1:1 ratio.Two cases dropped out of the experimental group and three cases dropped out of the control group.The control group received standardized treatment of Western medicine,and the experimental group received MWYF on the basis of the treatment of the control group.The treatment course of both groups was 3 months.The TCM syndrome score,lung function,6-minute walking distance(6MWD),transcutaneous blood oxygen saturation(SpO2),high-resolution computed tomography(HRCT)score,St.George's respir-atory questionnaire(SGRQ)score and serum sialoglycoprotein antigen(KL-6)level of the two groups were compared before and after treatment.Blood routine and liver and kidney function of the two groups were detected before and after treatment,and the occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment was recorded.RESULTS After treatment,the total score of TCM syndrome of the two groups was significantly improved(P<0.01),and the experimental group was better than the control group(P<0.01);the DLCO%of the experi-mental group increased(P<0.05),and the experimental group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).The experimental group showed significant improvement in 6MWD,HRCT grid shadow,SGRQ symptom score and total score,and serum KL-6 level(P<0.05,P<0.01),which was better than the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).No serious adverse events occurred in either group dur-ing the treatment.CONCLUSION MWYF combined with standardized Western medicine treatment can effectively improve the clini-cal symptoms of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis of qi-yin deficiency type,reduce the expression level of serum KL-6,and has a definite effect and good safety.

Objective To investigate the difference between structured triglyceride(STG)and Non-structured triglyceride(NSTG)in nutritional support for perioperative patients.Methods A nationwide survey was conducted through online questionnaire.The questionnaire consisted of four modules:questionnaire information,patient information,prescription investigation and postoperative observation.SPSS 24.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results Before and after parenteral nutrition(PN),the average levels of albumin(ALB)increased in both groups(P＜0.01),while the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)decreased(P＜0.01).The difference in serum triglyceride(TG)levels in the STG group was not statistically significant,while there was a decrease in the NSTG group(P＜0.05).Generalized linear equation analysis of repeated measurements showed that compared to the NSTG group,the increase in ALB levels in the STG group patients was more significant(P＜0.001),CRP and ALT decreases were more pronounced(P＜0.001),but the impact on TG was smaller.Conclusions For perioperative patients with parenteral nutrition,STG supplementation can bring significant clinical benefits.STG should be used according to the organ function and economic situation of patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of renally inappropriate medication （RIM） on the frailty of elderly patients with diabetes. METHODS The data of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus admitted to a third-grade class A hospital in Yunnan province from January to December 2022 were collected， and Beers criteria （2019 edition） and Chinese version of FRAIL scale were used to evaluate RIM and the frailty of the patients； the patients were divided into the trial group （with RIM） and the control group （without RIM） according to whether there was RIM. The propensity score matching was used to balance confounding factors between two groups， and the influence of RIM on the frailty of elderly diabetic patients was analyzed by the Logistic regression model. RESULTS Among the 367 patients， 80 patients （21.80%） had RIM， the drugs involved RIM were spironolactone （82.56%）， rivaroxaban （13.95%） and gabapentin （3.49%）. After reaching the balance between groups using the propensity score matching method， the incidence of frailty was 77.94% in trial group and 27.94% in control group （P＜0.001）； the difference was not statistically significant in other confounding factors between the two groups （P＞0.05）. Results of Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of frailty in the experimental group was 3.118 times that of the control group （odds ratio was 3.118，95% confidence interval was 1.758-5.530， P＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS RIM is a risk factor for the frailty of elderly patients with diabetes， which can be considered as an indicator for early identification and screening of the frailty of elderly diabetes patients.

Objective To analyze the relationship between the common clinical indicators and diabetic foot ulcer(DFU)in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients by using the cross-sectional study and to provide the reference indicators for clinical DFU monitoring and prognosis evaluation.Methods A total of 115 T2DM patients admitted to the Department of Endocrinology,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study objects and were divided into group A(with DFU)and group B(without DFU)according to whether they had DFU.Those in group A were then divided into group A1(Wagner0-1),group A2(Wagner2-3)and group A3(Wagner4)according to Wagner classification.The differences of general data,blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipids and other common clinical indicators among all of the groups were compared,and the correlation between DFU and the above indicators was explored.Results Diabetes duration,D-dimer(DD),systolic blood pressure and other indexes in group A were higher than those in group B and there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).DD was the main risk factor for DFU in T2DM patients.Diabetic course in patients with DFU was positively correlated with the age(r>0,P<0.05),and negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose(FPG)level and 2hPG level at 2 hours after meals(r<0,P<0.05).The levels of interleukin-6(IL-6)and C-reactive protein(CRP)in A1 and A2 groups were lower than those in A3 group,the levels of neutrophils and leukocytes in A1 group were lower than those in A3 group,and the high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)in A1 group was higher than that in A2 group and there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion DD and systolic blood pressure are the main risk factors for DFU,and DD is closely related to DFU.The older the patients with T2DM,the later the onset of DFU.The worse the blood glucose control,the earlier the onset of DFU.HDL-C is a protective factor for peripheral vascular disease in T2DM patients.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib for the treatment of newly treated and relapsed refractory (R/R) lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) /Waldenstr?m macroglobulinemia (WM) .Methods:Retrospectively collected clinical data of 98 cases of newly treated and R/R LPL/WM patients who received ibrutinib treatment at the Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from March 2016 to June 2023, and analyzed their efficacy and safety.Results:A total of 98 LPL/WM patients were included, which consisted of 45 newly treated patients and 53 R/R patients. Of these, 74 were males (75.5%) and the cohort had a median age of 64 (42-87) years. Eighty-eight patients were eligible for efficacy evaluation with a median treatment time of 20.8 (2.1-55.0) months, a major remission rate (MRR) of 78.4%, and an overall response rate (ORR) of 85.2%. The MRR and ORR of the newly treated patients were 78.4% and 86.5%, respectively, whereas the MRR and ORR of the R/R patients were 78.4% and 84.3%, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in MRR and ORR between the initial treatment and R/R patients (all P values >0.05) . The median follow-up period was 29.1 (2.9-50.3) months and the median overall survival time for newly treated and R/R patients was not reached. The median progression-free survival time was 23.5 (95% CI 10.5-36.5) months and 45.0 (95% CI 34.0-56.0) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (all P values >0.05) . There were 25 deceased patients and no deaths were related to ibrutinib treatment. The main adverse reactions of ibrutinib were thrombocytopenia (5.1%) , pneumonia (8.1%) , and hyperuricemia (21.4%) . The incidence of atrial fibrillation was 2.0%. Conclusion:Ibrutinib exhibits good efficacy and safety for newly treated and R/R LPL/WM patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the distribution and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes in patients with endometriosis （EMS）. MethodA cross-sectional survey was conducted to analyze the characteristics of TCM syndromes in 1 895 cases of EMS in hospitals of 19 provinces， autonomous regions， and municipalities. ResultAmong the 1 895 patients， Qistagnation and blood stasis syndrome accounted for the highest proportion， followed by Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome， cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome， and kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. The distribution of TCM syndrome types of patients with EMS in different regions， different treatment stages， and different disease types and with different therapeutic goals was different， and the differences were statistically significant. However， under different conditions， the Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome accounted for the highest proportion. Under the stratification of different regions， the cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome in north China was relatively high， the kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in south China was relatively high， and the combined phlegm and stasis syndrome was relatively high in southwest China. Different diagnosis and treatment goals corresponded to different clinical syndromes. With pelvic pain as the main manifestation， the proportion of cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome was higher. The proportion of kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome was higher in married patients with infertility. Patients with the main diagnosis and treatment goals of controlling mass and inhibiting recurrence had a higher proportion of Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. In different treatment stages， the proportion of Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in postoperative patients and those with recurrent EMS was higher. Among different disease types， the Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome accounted for a higher proportion in patients with ovarian endometriosis （OEM）. The cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome accounted for a higher proportion in patients with deep invasive endometriosis （DIE）. The kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome accounted for a higher proportion in patients with peritoneal EMS. There were significant differences in age， body mass index （BMI）， and course of disease among patients with different syndromes. Patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome was relatively older， and their course of the disease was relatively long. Patients with combined phlegm and stasis syndrome had relatively high BMI. There was no significant difference in CA125 and CA199 levels among all syndrome types. ConclusionThe distribution of TCM syndromes of EMS has a certain regularity， and there are differences in regional distribution， therapeutic goals， treatment stages， and disease types（P<0.05）. However， the Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome accounts for a large proportion under different conditions， suggesting that Qi stagnation is the key link of EMS. In the early stage， the team took relieving depression and activating blood as the primary treatment， and created Huoxue Xiaoyi prescription， which was the core prescription for the treatment of EMS with Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome， achieving good clinical effect. At the same time， it is emphasized that EMS treatment should be integrated into the concept of chronic disease management and combined with health management. Through psychological counseling， cognitive behavior intervention， popular science lectures， and other methods， it is advised to adjust the emotion of patients with EMS， thereby increasing the curative effect. This study is expected to provide references for the clinical treatment of EMS.
