Objective: To explore the effects of personality and sleep quality with psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents, so as to provide a reference basis for precise interventions of junior and senior high school students mental health. Methods: In October 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 9 034 students aged 12-17 from Shiyan City as the study subjects. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to collect information on sleep quality and psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Between group comparison was conducted by using t-test and Chi-square test. Generalized linear models were employed to analyze the interaction and joint effects of personality and sleep quality on psychological distress. Results: The generalized linear model analysis showed that the interaction between personality and sleep quality on psychological distress was statistically significant of junior and senior high school students(effect size=0.80, P <0.01). The general linear model analysis indicated that, after adjusting for variables such as age, gender, screen time, and daily sitting time with the extroverted and good sleep quality group as the reference, the introverted and poor sleep quality group had the largest mean difference in psychological distress scores (difference=0.51, P <0.05). When stratified by sleep quality, psychological distress scores were higher in the introverted and neutral personality groups with both poor and good sleep quality compared to the extroverted group (poor sleep quality: introverted difference=3.71, neutral difference=1.14; good sleep quality: introverted difference=2.23, neutral difference=0.57, all P < 0.05). When stratified by personality, psychological distress scores were higher in the poor sleep quality groups for introverted, neutral, and extroverted individuals compared to their good sleep quality counterparts (differences=8.66, 7.83, 7.34, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Personality and sleep quality have interactive and joint effects on psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Personalized psychological interventions should be developed based on personality and sleep quality.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a well-accepted therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD). However, there are currently no evidence-based guidelines integrating TCM and Western medicine for the treatment of AD, limiting the clinical application of such combined approaches. Therefore, the China Association of Chinese Medicine initiated the development of the current guideline, focusing on key issues related to the use of TCM in the treatment of AD. This guideline was developed in accordance with the principles of the guideline formulation manual published by the World Health Organization. A comprehensive review of the literature on the combined use of TCM and Western medicine to treat AD was conducted. The findings were extensively discussed by experts in dermatology and pharmacy with expertise in both TCM and Western medicine. This guideline comprises 23 recommendations across seven major areas, including TCM syndrome differentiation and classification of AD, principles and application scenarios of TCM combined with Western medicine for treating AD, outcome indicators for evaluating clinical efficacy of AD treatment, integration of TCM pattern classification and Western medicine across disease stages, daily management of AD, the use of internal TCM therapies and proprietary Chinese medicines, and TCM external treatments.

Objective To analyze the current status and influencing factors of occupational health literacy (OHL) among noise-exposed workers in the automotive manufacturing industry. Methods A total of 1 188 front-line workers in noise-exposed positions in the automotive manufacturing industry were selected by judgment sampling method. The OHL status of the workers was investigated using the Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Population, and the influencing factors of OHL were analyzed. Results The overall OHL level was 30.13% (358/1 188). The result of binary logistic regression analysis showed that marital status, educational level, personal monthly income, household registration, enterprise scale and weekly working hours were influencing factors of OHL level (all P<0.05). Specifically, being married, having a high school education or higher, monthly personal income >5 000 yuan, being from a non-agricultural household, working in a medium-sized enterprise, and working more than >40-48 hours per week were protective factors for high OHL levels (all P<0.05). Conclusion There is considerable room for improvement in the OHL of noise-exposed workers in the automotive manufacturing industry. Focus should be placed on workers who are unmarried, widowed, or divorced, have educational levels below high school, earn less than 5 000 yuan per month, have agricultural household registrations, work in small or micro-sized enterprises, or work ≤40 hours per week, with targeted strategies to improve their overall OHL level.

Objective To investigate the expression of Cyclin F in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), its clinicopathological characteristics, and its effect on the biological behavior of renal cancer cell lines Methods RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Cyclin F in fresh ccRCC specimens. Immunohistochemistry assay was performed to detect the expression of Cyclin F protein in 80 paraffin samples. CCK-8 assay, scratch assay, and flow cytometry were conducted to determine the effects of Cyclin F overexpression on the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of renal cancer cell lines. Results The expression of Cyclin F in cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues at the mRNA level (P<0.0285). The expression of Cyclin Fprotein in cancer tissues was lower than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.001). The analysis of clinicopathological parameters showed that the low expression of Cyclin F was correlated with WHO/ISUP grade, Ki67 index, and age (P=0.041, 0.047, 0.008,). In vitro experiments confirmed that overexpression of Cyclin F promoted the proliferation (P<0.001) and migratory ability (24 h P=0.003, 48 h P=0.0058) of the RCC 786-O cell line, while inhibiting apoptosis (P=0.0019). Conclusion The low expression of Cyclin F protein in ccRCC tissuesis associated with high ISUP grade, high Ki67 index, oldage, and prognosis of patients.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Pressure ulcer is a common complication of long-term bed rest in intensive care unit(ICU)patients,which can increase the risk of infection and prolong ICU hospitalization.They are an important indicator of patient safety and nursing quality in medical institutions.Early prevention of pressure ulcer is an important means of controlling their development.At present,the prevention of pressure ulcer mainly involves timed flipping and the use of pressure reducing devices.However,during the flipping process,it often requires two or more nursing staff to complete,which increases the workload and also exacerbates the occurrence of occupational lower back pain among nursing staff.In addition,existing pressure reducing devices still have certain limitations in use,and their functions are single,often requiring the combination of multiple tools to increase material and financial resources.Based on this,the research team from the department of critical care medicine of Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,has designed a nursing device for preventing pressure ulcer in critically ill patients,and has obtained a National Utility Model Patent of China(Patent Number:ZL 202320609787.6).It has several inflation components and connecting structures.The inflation components are equipped with a connected air inlet,a connected air outlet,and a discharge port on the side;the inflatable components are fitted together and can be detachably connected through a connecting structure.The connected air inlet of one inflatable component corresponds to the connected air outlet of adjacent inflatable components.This device is connected by multiple inflation components,which lower or raise the height of the airbag through inflation and deflation,adjust the pressure on various parts of the patient's body,and solve the problem of labor-intensive and heavy workload in nursing work;In addition,multiple inflatable components can be detachably connected to form an inflatable mattress.When in use,the number of inflatable component connections can be selected according to the specific needs of different patients or nursing areas.The device is easy to operate,flexible in combination,and suitable for timed flipping pressure reduction regulation in pressure ulcer high-risk areas under various postures.It has good clinical application value.

Objective To analyze the effects of irbesartan(IBN)regulating the stromal cell-derived factor-1(SDF-1)/CXC chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)pathway on proliferation,migration,and radiosensitivity of lung cancer cells.Methods Human lung cancer A549 cells were randomly divided into the A549 group(without treatment),radiation group(4 Gy X-ray radiation),IBN group(1 μmol/L IBN treatment for 24 hours),IBN+radiation group(1 μmol/L IBN treatment for 24 hours+4 Gy X-ray radiation),pcDNA3.1 group(transfected with pcDNA3.1+1 μmol/L IBN treatment for 24 hours+4 Gy X-ray radiation),and SDF-1 group(transfected with pcDNA3.1 SDF-1+1 μmol/L IBN treatment for 24 hours+4 Gy X-ray radiation).The cell viability,colony formation,apoptosis,and migration of each group were observed.The leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and Ang Ⅱ levels in cells were detected.Immunofluorescence method was applied to analyze the number of γH2AX focal points of cells in each group.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of proliferation and apoptosis related proteins and SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway related proteins.Results Both radiation and IBN treatment inhibited the proliferation and migration of A549 cells,promoted cell apoptosis,upregulated the number of γH2AX focal points and LDH leakage rate,upregulated the expression of Caspase-3,Bax,and Caspase-7,and downregulated the level of Ang Ⅱand expression of SDF-1,CXCR4,Bcl-2 and PCNA(P<0.05).The combined treatment of radiation and IBN further enhanced the changes of the above indicators(P<0.05).And SDF-1 treat-ment effectively reversed the effects of radiation and IBN treatment on the changes of the above indicators(P<0.05).Conclusion IBN can limit proliferation and migration of lung cancer cells,and increase radiosensitivity by inhibiting the SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway.

[Objective]To evaluate the efficacy of ureteral dilation versus ureteral reimplantation in treating pediatric primary obstructive megaureter(POM).[Methods]A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 53 pediatric patients with POM treated in the Department of Urology,Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital from April 2019 to September 2023.The cohort included 37 boys and 16 girls with 5 bilateral and 48 unilateral cases.The age ranged from 1 to 157 months,with a median age of 17.00(5.50-48.00)months.Patients were assigned to 3 groups based on the management of the ureteral stricture segment:dilation group(18 cases,19 sides),Cohen group(20 cases,24 sides),and Lich-Gregoir group(15 cases,15 sides).The duration of the operations,postoperative hospital stays,postoperative indwelling catheters,postoperative D-J stents;changes in renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter and ureteral diameter;and postoperative complications were compared to evaluate the therapeutic effects.[Results]All 53 patients successfully underwent surgery.The dilation group showed significantly shorter operative time,postoperative hospital stay,and postoperative catheterization duration compared to the Cohen and Lich-Gregoir groups(P＜0.05).However,the postoperative D-J stent time was longer in the dilation group than in the other 2 groups(P＜0.05).Upon follow-ups for 6-12 months after stent removal,all groups demonstrated statistically significant reductions in renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter and ureteral diameter compared to preoperative values(P＜0.05).No significant differences were observed among the 3 groups in hydronephrosis resolution rates(P＞0.05).Additionally,the incidence of postoperative complications(urinary tract infection,vesicoureteral reflux,and reoperation for restenosis)did not differ significantly among the groups(P＞0.05).[Conclusions]Ureteral dilation demonstrated non-inferior short-term clinical efficacy compared to ureteral reimplantation in managing POM in pediatric patients.With reduced operative time,minimal invasiveness,and technical simplicity,ureteral dilation may be considered a preferential treatment option for children with POM.
