Objective: To systematically evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) models in predicting non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior among adolescents, providing an evidence based foundation for the development of clinically applicable risk assessment tools. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang databases for relevant studies from their inception to July 21, 2025. The Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies. Stata 18 software was used to calculate the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the models, and publication bias assessment, sensitivity analysis, and Egger s test were performed. Results: The total of 12 studies (42 prediction models) involving 58 070 adolescents were included. There were 15 machine learning algorithms in total, among which Random Forest, Logistic Regression, XGBoost, and Support Vector Machines were the most frequently utilized. The most common predictors were gender (female), family function, depression, emotion regulation, and age. All 12 included studies exhibited a high risk of bias. The pooled AUC was 0.80 (95% CI =0.78-0.82), although heterogeneity was substantial ( I 2=95.8%, P <0.01). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of these findings (no overlap in 95% CI ), while Egger s test indicated the presence of publication bias ( P <0.05). Conclusions Machine learning demonstrates potential in the risk prediction of adolescent NSSI, but existing models have a high risk of bias. Future research should focus on improving methodological quality and optimizing model reliability through rigorous external validation.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether the effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan （DSS） on cognitive impairment is related to its promotion of ketone body metabolism in the brain and regulation of glutamate/α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isox-azolepropionic acid receptor （AMPAR） pathway. MethodsMale APP/PS1 mice were randomized into model， low-dose （3.2 g·kg^-1） DSS， medium-dose （6.4 g·kg^-1） DSS， high-dose （12.8 g·kg^-1） DSS， ketogenic diet， and inhibitor （talampanel， 5 mg·kg^-1） groups. C57BL/6J wild-type mice were selected as the normal group. The talampanel group was intragastrically administered for 2 consecutive weeks from the 6th week， and the other groups were continuously treated for 8 weeks before behavioral testing. The ultrastructure of synapses in hippocampal CA1 region was observed by transmission electron microscopy， and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase Ⅱ （CaMKⅡ） expression was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. The levels of β-hydroxybutyrate （BHB） and lactic acid （LAC） were measured by biochemical kits， and those of glutamate （Glu）， glutamine （Gln）， γ-aminobutyric acid （GABA）， and synaptophysin （SYP） by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The mRNA levels of glutamine synthetase （GS）， glutaminase （GLS）， glutamate decarboxylase （GAD）， CaMKⅡ， and AMPAR subunits GluA1 and GluA2 were quantified by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， and the protein levels of GS， GLS， GAD， GluA1， and GluA2 by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group exhibited decreased recognition index， spontaneous alternation rate， and residence time in the target quadrant （P<0.01）， increased escape latency and ratio of the time in the opposite side of the target quadrant to the time in the target quadrant （P<0.05， P<0.01）， damaged synaptic ultrastructure of hippocampal CA1 region， increased positive expression of CaMKⅡ， no significant difference in BHB level， elevated LAC and Glu levels （P<0.01）， declined SYP， Gln， and GABA levels （P<0.01）， downregulated mRNA and protein levels of GS， GAD， and GluA2 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and upregulated mRNA and protein levels of GLS and GluA1 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and mRNA level of CaMKⅡ （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， DSS intervention improved the behavioral indexes of mice （P<0.05， P<0.01）， enhanced the synaptic ultrastructure plasticity in hippocampal CA1 region， decreased the positive expression of CaMKⅡ， raised the BHB level （P<0.01）， reduced the LAC and Glu levels （P<0.01）， elevated the SYP， Gln， and GABA levels （P<0.01）， upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of GS， GAD， and GluA2， and downregulated the mRNA and protein levels of GLS and GluA1 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and the mRNA level of CaMKⅡ （P<0.01）. ConclusionDSS can improve the learning and memory and enhance the synaptic plasticity of APP/PS1 mice. Its neuroprotective effect is coupled with the promotion of ketone body formation and remodeling of brain energy metabolism， and is related to the regulation of glutamate/AMPAR pathway.

Malignant tumors(commonly referred to as cancer)represent a major global public health challenge and contribute significantly to the worldwide disease burden.Early screening plays a critical role in improving detection rates,enabling timely intervention,and enhancing pa-tient survival rates.However,current cancer screening guidelines primarily focus on site-specific screening,which may not fully address the need for comprehensive early detection.A scientifical-ly rational,multi-cancer screening approach offers several advantages:it optimizes the use of bio-logical samples,reduces time costs for participants,enhances the efficiency and comprehensive-ness of screening,and minimizes overall expenses.Such an approach also facilitates the rational allocation of healthcare resources,ultimately helping to reduce the societal burden of cancer.To address this need,the Cancer Epidemiology Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association has developed the Expert Consensus on Combined Screening for Common Cancers in China.This consensus integrates multidisciplinary expertise and synthesizes the latest domestic and interna-tional researches on cancer screening,early detection,and treatment for prevalent malignancies.Drawing upon China's unique demographic and healthcare context,as well as practical screening experiences,the consensus provides evidence-based recommendations on target populations,screening technologies,and procedural workflows for multi-cancer screening.These guidelines align with the principles and methodologies established by the World Health Organization(WHO),aiming to:enhance the effectiveness of combined cancer screening in China,improve early detec-tion rates,and provide a scientific foundation for national cancer prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To screen for microRNAs(miRNAs)highly expressed in the serum exosomes(Exo)of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)patients and analyze their relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients,and to explore the potential of Exo-derived miRNAs as clinical auxiliary diagnostic markers for ESCC.Methods:Serum and relevant clinical data of 50 healthy subjects and 45 newly diagnosed ESCC patients admitted to the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between December 2021 and June 2023 were collected,serving as the control group and the ESCC group respectively.The Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database and qPCR were used to screen and identify the candidate miRNA for increased expression in the serum of ESCC patients-miR-1246.The diagnostic efficacy of serum miR-1246 for ESCC was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve.The relationship between miR-1246 and the clinical feature progression of ESCC patients was analyzed by Logistic regression,and the relationship between miR-1246 and the clinicopathological characteristics of ESCC patients was analyzed by the χ2 test.Exosomes in the serum of the subjects were isolated,purified and characterized for verification.The expression of miR-1246 in Exo was detected by qPCR.ESCC KYSE150 and KYSE30 cells were routinely cultured.mimics-NC and miR-1246 mimics were transfected respectively into KYSE150 cells using Lipofectamine 2000.Inhibitor-NC and miR-1246 inhibitor were transfected into KYSE30 cells,which were respectively denoted as the minics-NC,miR-1246 mimics,inhibitor-NC and miR-1246-inhibitor groups.KYSE150 and KYSE30 cells were treated with Exo derived from KYSE150 cells in the mimics-NC and miR-1246 mimics groups.The proliferation,migration and invasion abilities of cells in each group were detected by the CCK-8 assay,scratch wound healing assay and Transwell chamber assay respectively.The expressions of Exo markers,epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related proteins,TET family methylcytosine dioxygenase 2(TET2)and cell adhesion molecule 1(CADM1)proteins in each group of cells were detected by WB assay.The targeting binding relationship between miR-1246 and TET2 and CADM1 was verified by the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay.Results:Bioinformatics screening showed that the miRNA with the most significant differential expression in the serum of ESCC patients was miR-1246.The serum Exo extracted from the patients conformed to the typical Exo characteristics.The expression level of serum Exo-miR-1246 in ESCC patients at stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in healthy subjects(P<0.01);the level of serum Exo-miR-1246 in ESCC patients at stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ was significantly higher than that in patients at stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P<0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that Exo-miR-1246 in serum had a high value for auxiliary differential diagnosis of ESCC(P<0.05),and the auxiliary diagnostic efficacy of Exo-miR-1246 for the clinical progression of ESCC patients was higher than that of CEA and SCC-Ag(P<0.05).The combined detection of the three could further improve the efficacy of auxiliary diagnosis of patient staging(P<0.01).Exo-miR-1246 might be an independent risk factor for the clinical progression of ESCC patients(P<0.05).The expression level of serum Exo-miR-1246 was associated with the T-stage,N-stage and clinical stage of ESCC(P<0.01).Overexpression of miR-1246 could promote the proliferation,migration,invasion,epithelial-mesenchymal transition and inhibit apoptosis of ESCC cells,while inhibition of miR-1246 had the opposite effect.Database data analysis found that TET2 and CADM1 were the target genes of miR-1246.The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that miR-1246 could directly bind to TET2 and CADM1 mRNA and inhibit their expressions(P<0.01).Treatment of KYSE150 and KYSE30 cells with Exo derived from cells overexpressing miR-1246 had the same effect as overexpressing miR-1246 in these cells.Conclusion:Exo-derived miR-1246 has the potential to be a clinical auxiliary diagnostic marker for ESCC.It may affect the occurrence and development of ESCC by regulating the expression levels of TET2 and CADM1.

Malignant tumors(commonly referred to as cancers)represent a major global public health challenge and contribute substan-tially to the global disease burden.Early screening plays a crucial role in improving detection rates,enabling timely intervention,and enhan-cing patient survival.However,current cancer screening guidelines primarily focus on site-specific screening,which may not fully address the need for comprehensive early detection.A scientifically rational,multi-cancer screening approach offers several advantages:it optimizes the use of biological samples,reduces the time burden for participants,enhances the efficiency and comprehensiveness of screening,and min-imizes overall expenses.Moreover,this approach facilitates rational allocation of healthcare resources,ultimately helping to reduce the soci-etal burden of cancer.To address gap,the Cancer Epidemiology Committee of the China Anti-Cancer Association has developed the Expert Consensus on Combined Screening for Common Cancers.This consensus integrates multidisciplinary expertise and synthesizes the latest do-mestic and international researches on cancer screening,early detection,and treatment of prevalent malignancies.Drawing upon China's unique demographic and healthcare context and practical screening experiences,the consensus provides evidence-based recommendations on target populations,screening technologies,and procedural workflows for multi-cancer screening.These guidelines align with the prin-ciples and methodologies established by the World Health Organization(WHO),aiming to enhance the effectiveness of combined cancer screening in China,improve early detection rates,and provide a scientific foundation for national cancer prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To compare the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the contralesional hemisphere at different frequencies on the recovery of upper limb motor function after a moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke.Methods:The inter-hemisphere compensation model was applied along with electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum density measurements. Thirty stroke survivors were randomly assigned to a sham stimulation group ( n=9), a high-frequency stimulation group ( n=11) or a low-frequency stimulation group ( n=10). In addition to physical and pharmacological therapy, the low-frequency and high-frequency groups received 1Hz or 5Hz rTMS, while the sham group received sham stimulation. The rTMS was delivered over the contralesional (unaffected) hemisphere once daily for 20 minutes over 15 consecutive days. Before, as well as 7 and 15 days after the treatment, all of the subjects′ motor functioning was assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for the upper extremity (FMA-UE) and their ability in the activities of daily living was assessed using the modified Barthel Index (MBI). Resting-state EEGs with the eyes closed were also recorded, and absolute alpha power across the whole brain was calculated. Changes from baseline FMA-UE and MBI scores and absolute alpha power were analyzed using one-way and repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results:After the treatment, significant within-group improvements from baseline were observed in the FMA-UE scores, MBIs and absolute alpha power, except for absolute alpha power in the low-frequency and sham groups. The repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed significant time × group interactions for FMA-UE ( F=9.926, P≤0.001), MBI ( F=8.789, P≤0.001) and absolute alpha power ( F=4.511, P≤0.05). So the treatment effects varied among the groups. Post hoc Bonferroni-corrected comparisons showed that the high-frequency group exhibited significantly greater improvements from baseline in terms of all three indicators compared with the other two groups. Conclusions:High-frequency (5Hz) rTMS applied to the contralesional hemisphere produced greater improvement than low-frequency (1Hz) stimulation in the upper limb motor function of patients with moderate-to-severe stroke. These findings support the use of the interhemispheric compensation model to guide rTMS therapy, particularly for patients with FMA-UE scores below 43.

OBJECTIVE To study the improvement effects and mechanism of proanthocyanidins （PACs） on steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head （SONFH） in rabbits based on the receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 （RIPK1）/RIPK3/mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein （MLKL） signaling pathway. METHODS SONFH model in rabbits was induced by injecting Escherichia coli endotoxin+methylprednisolone. The successfully modeled rabbits were randomly divided into Model group （normal saline）， low-dose PACs group （PACs-L group， 11 mg/kg）， high-dose PACs group （PACs-H group， 22 mg/kg）， high-dose PACs+ RIPK1 activator （rRIPK1） group （PACs-H+rRIPK1 group， 22 mg/kg PACs+4 μg/kg rRIPK1）， along with a control group （normal saline）， with 6 rabbits in each group. Each administration group was given relevant medicine once a day intragastrically/via injection， for 4 consecutive weeks. After the last administration， the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in rabbit serum were measured. The changes in the microstructure of rabbit femurs， including bone mineral density （BMD）， trabecular thickness （Tb.Th）， trabecular number （Tb.N）， and trabecular separation （Tb. Sp） were examined. The histopathological features of rabbit femoral tissues were observed， and the apoptotic status of cells within the rabbit femoral tissues was detected. The mRNA expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） and bone morphogenetic protein 2 （BMP2） in rabbit femoral tissues were determined. The expressions of RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway-related proteins in femoral tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with the Control group， serum contents of TNF-α and IL-6， Tb.Sp， empty bone cavity rate， cell apoptosis rate， phosphorylation levels of RIPK1， RIPK3 and MLKL in femoral tissue were significantly increased in the Model group （P＜0.05）. BMD， Tb.Th， Tb.N， as well as the mRNA expression of VEGF and BMP2， along with protein expression of caspase-8， in the femoral tissues were all decreased （P＜0.05）. The bone cells in the femoral tissue were unevenly distributed， and the trabeculae were arranged sparsely. Compared with the Model group， the aforementioned quantitative indicators （P＜0.05） and pathological changes in all dosage groups of PACs showed significant improvements. Compared with the PACs-H group， the aforementioned quantitative indicators （P＜0.05） and pathological changes in the PACs-H+rRIPK1 group showed significant reversal. CONCLUSIONS PACs can ameliorate SONFH in rabbits， and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of the activation of the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway， suppression of apoptosis in femoral tissue cells， and promotion of angiogenesis.

The cooccurrence of NPM1, FLT3-ITD, and DNMT3A mutations (i.e., triple mutation) is related to dismal prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving chemotherapy alone. In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, we aimed to identify whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) could overcome the poor prognosis of DNMT3A^mutNPM1^mutFLT3-ITD^mut AML across four transplant centers in China. Fifty-three patients with triple-mutated AML receiving allo-HSCT in complete remission were enrolled. The 1.5-year probabilities of relapse, leukemia-free survival, and overall survival after allo-HSCT were 11.9%, 80.3%, and 81.8%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that more than one course of induction chemotherapy and allo-HSCT beyond CR1 were associated with poor survival. To our knowledge, this work is the largest study to explore the up-to-date undefined role of allo-HSCT in patients with triple-mutated AML. Our real-world data suggest that allo-HSCT could overcome the poor prognosis of DNMT3A^mutNPM1^mutFLT3-ITD^mut in AML.
