OBJECTIVES: To investigate the chain mediating role of family care and emotional management in the relationship between social support and anxiety among rural primary school students. METHODS: A questionnaire survey was conducted among students in grades 4 to 6 from four counties in Hunan Province. Data were collected using the Social Support Rating Scale, Family Care Index Scale, Emotional Intelligence Scale, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder -7. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of anxiety symptoms. Mediation analysis was conducted to assess the chain mediating effects of family care and emotional management between social support and anxiety. RESULTS: A total of 4 141 questionnaires were distributed, with 3 874 valid responses (effective response rate: 93.55%). The prevalence rate of anxiety symptoms among these students was 9.32% (95%CI: 8.40%-10.23%). Significant differences were observed in the prevalence rates of anxiety symptoms among groups with different levels of social support, family functioning, and emotional management ability (P<0.05). The total indirect effect of social support on anxiety symptoms via family care and emotional management was significant (β=-0.137, 95%CI: -0.167 to -0.109), and the direct effect of social support on anxiety symptoms remained significant (P<0.05). Family care and emotional management served as significant chain mediators in the relationship between social support and anxiety symptoms (β=-0.025,95%CI:-0.032 to -0.018), accounting for 14.5% of the total effect. CONCLUSIONS Social support can directly affect anxiety symptoms among rural primary school students and can also indirectly influence anxiety symptoms through the chain mediating effects of family care and emotional management. These findings provide scientific evidence for the prevention of anxiety in primary school students from multiple perspectives.

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.

Background and purpose:Internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy(IMSLNB)is a minimally invasive diagnostic technique for regional lymph nodes in breast cancer,which can provide accurate lymph staging and guide adjuvant treatment decision,but its clinical application has been controversial.The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognosis of IMSLNB in early breast cancer.Methods:In this study,a retrospective cohort of 7 949 patients with breast cancer from January 1,2016 to December 31,2021 was analyzed.After applying propensity score matching,the patients were divided into IMSLNB group and no-IMSLNB group,and the regional recurrence-free survival(RRFS),local recurrence-free survival(LRFS),distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS),disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)of the two groups were compared.This study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Shandong First Medical University(approval number:SDTHEC20130324).Results:A total of 990 patients were included in the final analysis(330 in the IMSLNB group and 660 in the no-IMSLNB group).IMSLN metastasis was found in 54 patients in the IMSLNB group,including 47 patients with axillary lymph node(ALN)metastasis and 7 patients with IMSLN metastasis only.The IMSLN transfer rate was 16.4%.The median follow-up of 41 months showed that the IMSLNB group demonstrated better 3-year DFS[98.4%vs 94.2%,hazard ratio(HR)=0.509;95%CI:0.312-0.828,P=0.007]and 5-year DFS(92.5%vs 87.3%,HR=0.214,95%CI:0.206-0.222,P=0.011)compared with no-IMSLNB group.However,no significant differences were observed in 3-year OS(99.1%vs 99.4%,HR=0.618,95%CI:0.231-1.655,P=0.338)or 5-year OS(98.5%vs 99.1%,HR=0.52,95%CI:0.51-0.53,P=0.392)between the two groups.The 3-year RRFS in the IMSLNB group was better compared with the no-IMSLNB group(99.09%vs 97.73%,HR=0.066;95%CI:0.061-0.071,P=0.048),while no significant differences were observed in 3-year LRFS(99.70%vs 98.19%,HR=0.209;95%CI:0.201-0.217,P=0.130)or DMFS(95.76%vs 96.06%,HR=0.865,95%CI:0.858-0.872,P=0.820)between the two groups.The exploratory subgroup analysis of DFS revealed that patients in the following subgroups could significantly benefit from IM-SLNB(P＜0.05):diagnosis age(≤50 years),premenopausal status,BMI(≤24),lymphovascular invasion(LVI,present),tumor location(lateral),molecular subtype[hormone receptor positive(HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative(HER2-)],histological type(invasive ductal carcinoma),and axillary lymph node status(positive).Conclusion:IMSLNB can provide more accurate regional lymph node staging for early breast cancer,help optimize adjuvant radiotherapy strategies,and improve patients'DFS and RRFS.It can be promoted as a minimally invasive staging technique for regional lymph nodes.

【Objective】 To explore the effects of finasteride on the gene expression in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through transcriptome analysis. 【Methods】 Postoperative prostate tissues from patients who underwent prostatectomy at Peking University Third Hospital during Oct.2020 and Oct.2021 were collected.The patients were divided into medication group and non-medication group based on whether they had taken finasteride for a long time before surgery, with 8 patients in either groups.Transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed and the results were validated with qPCR and immunohistochemistry analysis. 【Results】 Compared with the non-medication group, 857 up-regulated and 806 down-regulated genes were screened in the medication group.Pathway enrichment analysis showed that finasteride induced down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGFD) expression in the focal adhesion pathway.Inter group network analysis suggested that the calcium signaling pathway was key in the entire process.GSEA enrichment analysis further revealed the up regulation of CD38 gene expression in the calcium signaling pathway.The qPCR and immunohistochemistry analysis supported the transcriptome results mentioned above, and found that androgen receptor (AR) expression was also increased. 【Conclusion】 Finasteride reduces prostate microvascular formation by downregulating the expression of VEGFD in the focal adhesion pathway, thereby reducing the risk of bleeding during prostate hyperplasia surgery. Long-term use of finasteride leads to the up regulation of CD38 expression in the calcium signaling pathway, which may lead to the development of finasteride resistance.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)has emerged as a promising therapeutic alternative for addressing aortic valve-related pathologies.However,the occurrence of rapid arrhythmias linked to TAVR procedures is progressively drawing scrutiny.Presently,pharmacologic interventions constitute the mainstay of managing atrial arrhythmias related to TAVR,while the potential of ablation as a viable treatment modality remains undefined.Notably,in cases where the arrhythmia's genesis is presumed to be intricately linked to the prosthetic valve,the practicality and safety of ablation procedures remain unverified.Our institution has successfully ventured into radiofrequency ablation for a distinctive patient presenting with this intricate condition,thereby tentatively affirming the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation administered on the surface of prosthetic valves.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of CD30 in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 124 cases of primary DLBCL diagnosed at Changzhou Second People's Hospital Affiliated with Nanjing Medical University from January 2018 to July 2020.The expression of CD30 in patients with DLBCL was detected by immunohistochemical method,and the clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed and compared between CD30+and CD30-groups.Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for survival analysis.The relationship between CD30 expression and clinical features and prognosis were analyzed.Results:Among the 124 patients with DLBCL,19 patients expressed CD30,and the positive rate is 15.32％.The clinico-pathological characteristics of CD30+in patients with DLBCL were characterized by low age,more common in males,fewer extranodal lesions,lower international prognostic index(IPI),GCB type being more common in Hans subtype,and achieving better therapeutic effects(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant statistical differences in B-symptoms(P=0.323),Ann Arbor staging(P=0.197),Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG)score(P=0.479),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)(P=0.477),and the involvement of bone marrow(P=0.222).There were significant differences in OS and PFS between the CD30+and CD30-groups(x2=5.653,P=0.017;x2=4.109,P=0.043),the CD30+group had a better prognosis than that of the CD30-group.The results of subgroup analysis showed that the CD30+group in the IPI score=1-2,LDH elevated group had a better prognosis(P＜0.05).In the subgroups of Ann Arbor staging Ⅲ-Ⅳ(P=0.055)and non GCB type(P=0.053),the CD30+group had a good prognosis trend,but the difference was not statistically significant.The results of univariate analysis showed that the good prognosis of DLBCL patients was closely related to CD30+expression,no B-symptoms,early Ann Arbor staging,low ECOG score,normal LDH,low IPI score,fewer extranodal involvement,and obtaining the best therapeutic effect as CR(all P＜0.05).COX multivariate regression analysis showed that the presence of B-symptoms and achieving the best therapeutic effect as Non-CR were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of DLBCL patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The CD30+expression in DLBCL patients indicates a good prognosis and has certain diagnostic value in evaluating the prognosis of DLBCL patients.
