Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is one of the leading causes of death among young adults worldwide. Multiple organ dysfunction in HS is caused by an imbalance between tissue oxygen supply and demand, which is closely related to the poor prognosis of patient. Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the key mechanisms contributing to multiple organ dysfunction in HS, while mitochondrial quality control regulates mitochondrial function through a series of processes, including mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, mitochondrial-derived vesicles, and mitochondrial protein homeostasis. Modulating mitochondrial quality control can improve organ dysfunction. This review aims to summarize the effects of mitochondrial dysfunction on organ function in HS and discuss the potential mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control, providing insights into the injury mechanisms underlying HS and guiding clinical management.

Objective:
To understand the prevalence of Lying Flat behaviors and its association with depressive symptoms among Chinese college students, so as to provide a scientific basis for promoting the physical and mental health development of adolescents.
Methods:
From July to October 2023, three universities were selected through convenient sampling from Jiangxi Province, Liaoning Province and Beijing City, respectively. Selfdesigned questionnaire links were distributed on campus to collect basic information and Lying Flat behaviors among college students, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was utilized to screen for students with depressive symptoms. Finally, a total of 4 225 valid questionnaires were obtained. Chisquare was used to compare of report rates of Lying Flat behaviors across different demographic characteristics. Ordered Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between Lying Flat behaviors and depressive symptoms, with Z test used to assess variations in the strength of associations.
Results:
The reporting rates of academic, life, and social Lying Flat were 32.7%, 17.8% and 17.5%, respectively. And 6.7% of the participants were found of all three Lying Flat behaviors simultaneously.Among college students with three Lying Flat behaviors, the constituent ratios of no, mild, moderate and above depressive symptoms were 9.9%, 30.5% and 59.6%, respectively. Additionally, college students who had three Lying Flat behaviors were more likely to show mild, moderate and above depressive symptoms [OR(95%CI)=2.49(1.60-3.87), 7.69(5.01-11.79), P<0.01].
Conclusions
Academic Lying Flat behavior is most prevalent among college students. Academic, life and social Lying Flat behaviors are all significantly positively correlated with depressive symptoms. Attention should be paid to the Lying Flat behaviors and college students psychological health conditions to promote their physical and mental health development.

Objective:Human leukocyte antigen(HLA)B27 is a susceptibility allele of ankylosing spondylitis(AS),and HLA-B27 antigen typing is an important indicator for clinical diagnosis of AS,but current typing methods such as sequence specific primer polymerase chain reaction(PCR-SSP)still possess limitation.Therefore,this study aims to analyze the correlation between B27 subtypes and susceptibility to AS in Hunan Province by applying high-resolution polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing(PCR-SBT). Methods:Peripheral blood of 116 patients with suspected AS(suspected AS group)and 121 healthy volunteers(control group)admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were collected for HLA-B genotyping by PCR-SBT.Among the patients in the suspected AS group,23 patients were finally diagnosed with AS(confirmed AS group),and the remaining 93 undiagnosed patients served as the non-confirmed AS group.PCR-SBT and PCR-SSP were used to detect HLA-B27 typing in 116 patients with suspected AS,and the results of the 2 methods were compared. Results:The HLA-B27 allele frequency in the suspected AS group was significantly higher than that in the control group[11.63%vs 2.48%;P<0.001,odds ratio(OR)=5.18,95%confidence interval(CI)2.097 to 12.795].B*27:04,B*27:05,B*27:06,and B*27:07 were detected in the suspected AS group and the control group.The frequency of the B*27:04 allele in the suspected AS group was significantly higher than that in the control group(9.48%vs 1.24%;P<0.001,OR=8.346,95%CI 2.463 to 28.282).The positive rate of B27 in the suspected AS group and the confirmed AS group(B27+/+ and B27+/-)was significantly higher than that in the control group(χ2=16.579,P<0.001;χ2=94.582,P<0.001,respectively).Among the confirmed AS group,21 were HLA-B27 carriers,and the B27 positive rate in the confirmed AS group was 91.3%.PCR-SBT could achieve high resolution typing of the HLA-B gene locus,with higher sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy than PCR-SSP. Conclusion:PCR-SBT typing analysis shows a strong correlation between HLA-B * 27:04 and AS in Hunan province.The PCR-SBT method can be used as the preferred option for the auxiliary diagnosis of clinical AS.

Objective This study aims to investigate the sex difference in the hippocampus and parahippocampus in patients with bipolar disorder. Methods We acquired T1-weighted structural MRI from 133 bipolar type I patients (60 males) and 144 normal controls (81 males). The General Linear Model was used to examine the relationship between sex and brain volumes of the hippocampus and parahippocampus, with age and intracranial volume as covariates. Results Patients showed significantly smaller volumes of the bilateral hippocampus and parahippocampus (P<0.01). There were sex-by-diagnosis interactions in the left parahippocampus gyrus (F=6.534, P=0.044). Male patients had significant smaller volumes of the left parahippocampus gyrus compared to the male normal controls (P<0.001) whereas the volumes were not significantly different between female patients and female normal controls (P>0.05). Conclusion The results suggest sex difference in the left parahippocampus gyrus volume in patients with bipolar type I disorder, which deserves further investigation in the future bipolar imaging researches.
