AIM: To investigate expression differences and mechanism of action of serine/threonine kinase 1(AKT1), ATP synthase F1 subunit(ATP5F1), and Bcl-2-associated anti-apoptotic gene 3(BAG3)in the occurrence and progression of pterygium.METHODS:Pterygium-related gene expression data were retrieved from GEO database to screen differentially expressed genes(DEGs). String and Cytoscape were used to construct protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks and identify core targets. GO/KEGG enrichment analyzed mitochondrial metabolic pathways. The pterygium samples(head/body)were collected; pathological features were evaluated by HE staining, and the expression of AKT1, ATP5F1, and BAG3 was detected via immunohistochemistry(IHC).RESULTS:A total of 1 264 DEGs were identified(585 upregulated, 679 downregulated). GO analysis showed significant enrichment of mitochondrial pathways regarding to biological processes, cell components and molecular functions; KEGG analysis highlighted oxidative phosphorylation and chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species(ROS)pathways. The head and body pterygium samples were collected from 28 cases(28 eyes)that received pterygium surgery, including 7 males(7 eyes)and 21 females(21 eyes), with a mean age of 69.32±8.98 years. HE staining showed more severe dysplasia, disordered stroma, and inflammation in the pterygium head versus the body. IHC detection confirmed significantly lower AKT1, ATP5F1, and BAG3 expression in the head compared with the body(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION:GEO-based bioinformatics and experiments confirmed that AKT1/ATP5F1/BAG3(mitochondrial genes)had significant differential expression in pterygium, correlating with pathological progression. They may regulate mitochondrial metabolism to mediate pterygium progression, offering new insights for targeted therapy.

As a mature neuromodulation technique with sufficient evidence and wide application， transcranial magnetic stimulation （TMS） has become a highly promising approach for the treatment of insomnia disorder. However， there is still a lack of unified standards for formulation of treatment regimens， technical operations， indications and contraindications， treatment of adverse reactions， and application in special populations. In order to standardize the application of TMS in the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia disorder， Professional Committee of Sleep and Neuromodulation of Chinese Sleep Research Society organized the compilation of the technical specifications. This document systematically elaborates on the technical principles and stimulation modes of TMS， summarizes the clinical evidence for its application in the treatment of primary insomnia disorder and comorbid conditions such as depression and cognitive impairment， clarifies the key points for formulating treatment regimens （including stimulation coils， targets， modes， and intensity）， refines the technical specifications such as treatment room setup， personnel qualifications， operation procedures， and efficacy evaluation， and provides recommendations for the management of adverse reactions and principles for use in special populations， which provides a comprehensive expert consensus and practical guidance for the standardized clinical application of TMS in the treatment of insomnia disorder.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of the Wulao Qisun prescription on pathological new bone formation in ankylosing spondylitis （AS）. MethodsSynovial fibroblasts were isolated from the hip joints of AS patients and observed under a microscope to assess cell morphology. The cells were identified using immunofluorescence staining. The isolated AS fibroblasts were divided into blank group， low drug-containing serum group， medium drug-containing serum group， high drug-containing serum group， and positive drug group. After drug intervention， cell proliferation was measured using the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay to observe fibroblast growth and determine the optimal intervention time. Alkaline phosphatase （ALP） activity was measured using the alkaline phosphatase assay. Protein expression of osteocalcin （OCN）， osteopontin （OPN）， and runt-related transcription factor 2 （Runx2） was detected by Western blot. The mRNA expression levels of Wnt5a， β-catenin， and Dickkopf-1 （DKK-1） were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsCompared with the blank group， each drug-containing serum group of Wulao Qisun prescription and the positive drug group inhibited the proliferation of AS fibroblasts and reduced ALP expression （P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， the low drug-containing serum group of Wulao Qisun prescription downregulated β-catenin mRNA expression （P<0.05）. The medium and high drug-containing serum groups and the positive drug group significantly downregulated Wnt5a and β-catenin mRNA expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）， with the positive drug group showing the most pronounced effect （P<0.01）. The high drug-containing serum group and the positive drug group significantly upregulated DKK-1 mRNA expression （P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， the low drug-containing serum group of Wulao Qisun prescription inhibited the expression of OPN and Runx2 proteins （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while the medium and high drug-containing serum groups and the positive drug group inhibited the expression of OCN， OPN， and Runx2 proteins （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe Wulao Qisun prescription can inhibit the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts， thereby delaying the formation of pathological new bone in AS. The possible mechanism involves the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin-related gene expression， further inhibiting the transcription of downstream target genes.

BACKGROUND:Cannabidiol has anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,and other pharmacological effects,and has no mental activity,so the research in liver disease is increasing day by day,but its effect on transforming growth factor-β1/Smad signal transduction pathway in hepatic stellate cells is not clear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of cannabidiol on transforming growth factor-β1/Smad signal transduction pathway in hepatic stellate cells and its possible mechanism of anti-hepatic fibrosis.METHODS:(1)In vitro experiment:Rat hepatic stellate cell line(HSC-T6)was selected and cultured in six groups.The control group was routinely cultured for 24 hours.The simple drug group was cultured with cannabidiol for 24 hours.The modeling group was cultured with transforming growth factor β1 for 24 hours.The modeling+low-dose drug group,the modeling+high-dose drug group,and the modeling+positive control group were cultured with transforming growth factor β1 for 24 hours,1,5 μmol/L cannabidiol and silymarin were cultured for 24 hours.After culture,the mRNA expression of α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen,the levels of interleukin 1β and tumor necrosis factor α,and the protein expression of type Ⅰ collagen and transforming growth factor β1/Smad signal transduction pathway were detected in each group.(2)In vivo experiments:C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups with eight mice in each group.Models were not established in the sham operation group.The liver fibrosis models were established by biliary ligation in the modeling group,the modeling+low-dose drug group,the modeling+high-dose drug group,and the modeling+positive control group.At 3 weeks after the modeling,4,8 mg/kg cannabidiol or silymarin were injected intraperitoneally,once a day,for 7 consecutive days.After administration,the liver function,liver pathological morphology,expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin,type Ⅰ collagen,and transforming growth factor β1/Smad signal transduction pathway related protein were detected in each group.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro experiment:Compared with the control group,mRNA expression of α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen,interleukin 1β and tumor necrosis factor α,and protein expression of type Ⅰ collagen,transforming growth factor β1 and p-Smad2/3 in HSC-T6 cells were increased(P<0.05),while Smad7 protein expression was decreased(P<0.05)in the modeling group.Two doses of cannabidiol could improve the above changes in HSC-T6 cells induced by transforming growth factor β1,and the improvement was more obvious in the modeling+high-dose drug group.(2)In vivo experiment:Compared with sham operation group,the activities of serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were increased(P<0.05),inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen content in liver tissue were increased(P<0.05),and the transforming growth factor β1/Smad signal transduction pathway was activated;α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen expression levels were increased(P<0.05)in the modeling group.Two doses of cannabidiol could reduce the changes of the above indexes in the modeling mice,and the effect was more obvious in the modeling+high-dose drug group.(3)It is indicated that cannabidiol inhibits hepatic fibrosis by suppressing the activation of transforming growth factor-β1/Smad signal transduction pathway in hepatic stellate cells.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction model for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents with mood disorders, providing a basis for identifying and intervening in high-risk patients.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to retrospectively analyze 724 adolescent patients with mood disorders admitted to the open ward of Qingdao Mental Health Center from January 2019 to July 2023. Patients admitted from January 2019 to December 2022 (641 cases) were randomly divided into a modeling group and an internal validation group in a 7∶3 ratio, while patients admitted from January to July 2023 (83 cases) were used as an external validation group. A binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to construct a nomogram prediction model for NSSI risk in adolescents with mood disorders. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity.Results:There were 179 males and 545 females, aged 15 (14, 17) years old. Among the 724 patients, 449 were in the modeling group, 192 in the internal validation group, and 83 in the external validation group. The incidence of NSSI in the modeling group was 32.96% (148/449). Reduced food intake ( OR=10.980, 95% CI 4.462-27.017), passive contact ( OR=4.681, 95% CI 1.986-11.031), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 score >17 ( OR=12.235, 95% CI 4.657-32.141), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale score>15 ( OR=27.888, 95% CI 8.700-124.630), Insomnia Severity Index score >15 ( OR=6.357, 95% CI 2.257-17.899), and higher levels of past self-injury ( OR=1.663, 95% CI 1.428-1.935) were independent risk factors for NSSI in adolescents with mood disorders (all P<0.05). The AUC of the nomogram model based on these six factors was 0.973, with a sensitivity of 0.94 and a specificity of 0.89. Conclusions:The risk prediction model for NSSI in adolescents with mood disorders has good discrimination, accuracy, and practicality, and can help identify high-risk NSSI populations among adolescents with mood disorders.

Objective:To explore the implementation method of the "daily-monthly-quarterly" quality control model based on total quality management (TQM) theory in nursing quality management, and evaluate its application effectiveness.Methods:A quasi-experimental research method was used. The quarterly quality control model employed at Shanxi Medical University Second Hospital from 2018 to 2019 was set as the control group, and the"day-month-quarter" quality control model based on TQM implemented from 2020 to 2022 was set as the observation group. The nurse practice environment assessment scores from 2018 to 2022 were analyzed; the nursing quality-sensitive indicators between the two groups were compared, including the incidence rate of overall adverse event, falls among hospitalized patients, pressure ulcers of stage 2 and above, unplanned extubations, and catheter-related infections (central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections).Results:The nurse practice environment assessment scores from 2018 to 2022 were (69.11 ± 19.66), (75.20 ± 18.70), (77.60 ± 17.65), (82.45 ± 16.44), and (88.00 ± 15.06). The differences compared to the previous year were statistically significant ( t=3.63-9.24, all P<0.05).After the intervention, the incidence rates of overall adverse events, falls among hospitalized patients, unplanned extubation, central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia in the control group were 0.385% (499/129 678), 0.072% (94/129 678), 0.051% (66/129 678), 0.037% (23/62 390), and 0.746% (43/5 761). Compared to 0.258% (551/213 851), 0.048% (103/213 851), 0.033% (71/213 851), 0.019% (19/98 642), and 0.444% (88/19 826) in the observation group. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2values were 3.89-42.83, all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence rates of pressure ulcers of stage 2 and above and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (both P>0.05). Conclusions:The "daily-monthly-quarterly" quality control model based on TQM is beneficial in improving nursing quality and ensuring patient safety.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for the detection of low-level mosaicisms in amniotic fluid samples, and to retrospectively analyze the rare cases of mosaicisms. METHODS: Chromosomal karyotype of the fetus was determined by G-banding analysis of cultured amniotic fluid cells. CMA was used to detect copy number variation of fetal chromosomes, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to determine the proportion of fetal chromosomal mosaicisms in uncultured amniotic fluid cells. RESULTS: Among 825 prenatal samples, 4 cases of true fetal mosaicisms were detected, which yielded an incidence of 0.48%. Two cases were sex chromosomal mosaicisms, and two were autosomal mosaicisms, which involved chromosomes 8 and 9, respectively. All cases were verified by G-banding analysis of cultured amniotic fluid cells, CMA, and/or FISH. CONCLUSION CMA has a great value for detecting low-level mosaicisms in amniotic fluid samples, though the positive results need to be verified by other techniques and should be interpreted with caution. The review of rare cases can provide a basis for prenatal genetic counseling.
