Objective:To explore the clinical and pathological features and survival outcomes of patients with early-onset intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EOICC).Methods:This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. Data of 1 160 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients undergoing radical resection in 14 tertiary Grade A hospitals in China from January 2010 to November 2021 were retrospectively collected. The cohort included 632 males and 528 females, aged( M (IQR)) 61 (14) years (range: 22 to 93 years). ICC aged ≤50 years at the time of diagnosis was defined as EOICC and >50 years as late-onset intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (LOICC). Of these, there were 247 cases in the EOICC group and 913 cases in the LOICC. The clinical and pathological characteristics of both groups were analyzed and compared using the independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models for patient outcomes were constructed and forest graphed. Results:Compared with the patients in the LOICC group, patients in the EOICC group had lower carcinoembryonic antigen levels (2.5(4.0) μg/L vs. 3.1(5.2)μg/L, U=124 899, P=0.009) and CA19-9 level (63.4(524.7)U/ml vs. 77.9(611.3)U/ml, U=120 320, P=0.013), higher levels of ALT (29(35)U/L vs. 24(26)U/L, U=101 214, P=0.013), a lower score of the Eastern US Cooperative Oncology Group (0 score patients: 54.7% vs. 44.1%, χ2=12.472, P=0.014), higher TNM stage ( χ2=11.807, P=0.038), and proportion of lymph node dissection (62.3% vs. 54.1%, χ2=5.355, P=0.021). Patients in the two groups in sex, first diagnosis symptoms, intrahepatic bile duct stone history, nail protein, albumin, total bilirubin, transaminase, liver function Child-Pugh grade, T stage, stage, N stage, preoperative laparoscopic exploration proportion, tumor diameter, vascular invasion proportion, differentiation, margin, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital days were no statistical significance (all P>0.05). Patients in the EOICC group had better outcomes than the LOICC group (median survival time: 29.7 months vs. 25.0 months, 3-year overall survival: 45.1% vs. 37.8%, P=0.027). Conclusion:EOICC patients are better than LOICC patients in carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9, ALT, physical strength status and TNM stage, and the long-term prognosis is also better than LOICC patients.

Porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus(PHEV),a betacoronavirus with a sin-gle-stranded,positive-sense RNA genome,is an important pathogen in the swine industry.It causes porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis(PHE),presenting with symptoms such as vomiting,diarrhea,neurological symptoms,and respiratory distress,particularly in piglets.The virus is asso-ciated with high mortality rates and growth stunting in subclinical cases.PHEV has a well-docu-mented global distribution,with occurrences reported across Europe,South America,North Amer-ica,and East Asia,posing a considerable challenge to the swine industry.This review aims to pro-vide a comprehensive overview of PHE's virological characteristics,epidemiology,clinical and pathological manifestations,mechanisms of infection and pathogenicity,and the current state of di-agnostic techniques.It further evaluates advancements in vaccine and antiviral development,along-side comprehensive prevention and control strategies,contextualized within the framework of the latest foundational research.

Objective: To understand the association of physical exercise willingness and insomnia with depressive symptoms among college students, so as to provide reference for improving depressive symptoms of college students. Methods: From October 2022 to April 2023, cluster sampling was used to recruit 11 101 college students from four colleges in Anhui Province. The questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the willingness to engage in physical exercise, insomnia and depressive symptoms of college students. The multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of physical exercise willingness and insomnia with depressive symptoms of college students. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms among college students was 9.24%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that college students who were passive participants/non participants in physical activity, or who experienced insomnia, had a higher likelihood of depressive symptoms compared to those who were active participants or did not experience insomnia ( OR =1.84, 2.07, 4.02, all P <0.01). College students who were passive participants or non participants in physical activity and concurrently experienced insomnia had a higher risk of depressive symptoms compared with those who were active participants or did not experience insomnia ( OR =1.87-8.39, all P <0.01). Gender stratified analysis showed that the combined effect of passive physical exercise and insomnia increased the risk of depressive symptoms in both male ( OR = 1.81 -9.87) and female college students ( OR =1.67-7.39) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Both physical exercise willingness and insomnia are associated with depressive symptoms in college students. In order to improve the depressive symptoms of college students, it is necessary to improve the enthusiasm of physical exercise and strengthen the education of sleep health awareness.

Objective:To explore the factors that can predict the outcome of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in elderly patients with moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and analyze their clinical application value.Methods:A total of 87 elderly patients with moderate ARDS caused by community-acquired pneumonia admitted to the Emergency Department of Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected. Taking the need for conversion to invasive ventilation during treatment as the study endpoint, the patients were divided into NIV success group and failure group. Clinical data of patients were collected every 2 hours starting from 2 hours after the initiation of NIV, and differences between the two groups were compared. The predictive efficacy of potential risk factors was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC).Results:Among the 87 patients, 38 cases failed NIV within 48 hours (overall failure rate 43.7%), including 18 cases failing within the first 12 hours and 20 new failures from 12 to 48 hours, while the remaining 49 cases succeeded. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, age, prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, left ventricular ejection fraction, serum creatinine, total bilirubin, heart rate, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP), arterial blood pH, partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), mean arterial pressure, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, respiratory rate and other indicators (all P>0.05). The failure group had a significantly lower baseline VOX index [(SpO 2/FiO 2)/VT] than the success group. From 2 to 12 hours after the initiation of NIV (a total of 6 recording time points), the VOX index in the failure group was significantly lower than that in the success group (all P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the VOX index had the best predictive efficacy at 4-6 hours after NIV initiation: at 4 hours, the AUC was 0.929, and the optimal cut-off value of 24.72 had the highest sensitivity (91.84%) for predicting failure; at 6 hours, the AUC was 0.870, and the optimal cut-off value of 24.58 had the highest specificity (90.91%) for predicting failure. Conclusions:The VOX index can effectively predict the failure outcome of NIV in elderly patients with moderate ARDS, and its predictive ability is the strongest at 4-6 hours after the initiation of NIV. Clinically, the 4-hour or 6-hour time window can be selected to evaluate the prognosis according to the patient′s specific conditions (such as respiratory drive intensity, weaning risk), providing a reference for timely adjustment of respiratory support plans.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy（AIT） remains the only therapeutic approach with the potential to modify the natural course of allergic rhinitis（AR）. Nevertheless, considerable inter-individual variability exists in patients'responses to AIT. To facilitate more reliable assessment of treatment efficacy, the China Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group（CRRCG） convened young and middle-aged nasal experts in China to formulate the present consensus. The recommended subjective outcome measures for AIT comprise symptom scores, medication scores, combined symptom and medication scores, quality-of-life assessments, evaluation of disease control, and assessment of comorbidities. Objective indicators may supplement these measures. Currently available objective approaches include skin prick testing, nasal provocation testing, and allergen exposure chambers. However, these methods remain constrained by practical limitations and are not yet appropriate for routine implementation in clinical efficacy evaluation. In addition, several biomarkers, including sIgE and the sIgE/tIgE ratio, sIgG4, serum IgE-blocking activity, IgA, cytokines and chemokines, as well as immune cell surface molecules and their functional activity, have been shown to have associations with AIT outcomes. While these biomarkers may complement subjective assessments, they are subject to significant limitations. Consequently, large-scale multicenter trials and real-world evidence are required to strengthen the evidence base. The present consensus underscores the necessity of integrating patients'subjective experiences with objective testing throughout the treatment process, thereby providing a more comprehensive and accurate framework for efficacy evaluation. Looking forward, future investigations should prioritize the incorporation of multi-omics data and artificial intelligence methodologies, which hold promise for overcoming current limitations in assessment strategies and for advancing both the standardization and personalization of AIT.

Objective: To analyze the current status and influencing factors of psychological crisis among college students, so as to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of psychological crisis intervention plans in colleges and universities. Methods: From September to December 2024, 645 college students from a medical undergraduate university in Heilongjiang Province were selected with a convenience sampling method. A convergent mixed analysis design was used. Quantitative analysis was conducted using College Students Psychological Crisis Screening Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Short-Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran and Perceived School Climate Scale. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the related factors of psychological crisis among college students. Qualitative research was conducted on 15 college students with psychological crisis identified in the quantitative analysis by a purposive sampling method. The interview data were organized and analyzed using the thematic framework analysis method. Results: Among the surveyed college students, 92 (14.3%) had psychological crisis. Binary Logistic regression analysis results showed that positive parenting style ( OR=0.97,95%CI =0.95-0.99), negative parenting style ( OR=1.01,95%CI =1.00-1.02), cognitive reappraisal ( OR=0.88, 95%CI =0.83-0.92), expressive suppression ( OR=1.08, 95%CI =1.02-1.15), and perceived campus atmosphere ( OR=0.97, 95%CI =0.95-0.98) were all related factors of psychological crisis among college students ( P <0.05). The qualitative analysis results showed that there were three themes for the influencing factors of college students psychological crisis, including differential impact of emotion regulation strategies on psychological state, shaping of psychological state of college students by family and bidirectional effect of perceived campus atmosphere on psychological state. Mixed analysis results showed that the influencing factors of college students psychological crisis were consistent in terms of emotion regulation strategies, and were expansive in terms of parenting style and perceived campus atmosphere. Conclusion Schools and mental health service departments can reduce the risk of psychological crisis by optimizing cognitive reappraisal and reducing expressive suppression, improve the level of psychological crisis by strengthening positive family interaction and blocking negative parenting style, and maintain the mental health level of college students by building a supportive campus environment and alleviating high pressure.
