Objective:To study the inhibitory effect of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on aortic injury in mice with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) arteriosclerosis.Methods:APOE -/- mice were injected with norphytane and high fat diet to establish lupus vascular injury model. Then the mice were divided into normal control group (ND group), high fat diet group (HFD group), high fat diet+ SLE vascular injury group (HFD+ SLE group), high fat diet+ SLE vascular injury+ hydroxychloroquine treatment group (HFD+ SLE+ Hydro group), high fat diet+ SLE vascular injury+ EPCs treatment group (HFD+ SLE+ EPCs group). At the end of the experiment, urine, blood and aortic tissues of mice in each group were collected, and the content of urinary protein and the depth of serum type I interferon (IFN-Ⅰ) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The activation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate synthase/interferon gene stimulating factor/type I interferon (cGAS/STING/IFN-Ⅰ) pathway, the levels of inflammatory factors, adhesion fractions and chemokines in the aorta of mice in each group were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting (WB). The lipid deposition in the aorta was detected by oil red staining. Results:The results of ELISA showed that the levels of urinary protein and serum IFN-Ⅰ in HFD+ SLE group were higher than those in normal control group. EPCs treatment could reduce the levels of urinary protein and serum IFN-Ⅰ in SLE atherosclerotic mice. WB results showed that the expression of CD19, CD68, CD34, chemokine, cGAS, p-STING, phosphorylated TANK binding kinase 1 (p-TBK1), phosphorylated interferon regulatory factor 3 (p-IRF3) and IFN-Ⅰ increased in HFD+ SLE group, and hydroxychloroquine and EPCs decreased the levels of these factors. CGAS/STING/IFN-Ⅰ signal pathway is involved in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis in SLE patients; both EPCs and hydroxychloroquine can inhibit the activation of cGAS/STING/IFN-Ⅰ signal, thus reducing atherosclerosis in SLE mice.Conclusions:cGAS/STING/IFN-Ⅰ pathway is involved in the development of SLE atherosclerosis. EPCs can inhibit the activation of cGAS/STING signal, reduce the expression and secretion of IFN-Ⅰ, and then reduce vascular inflammation and inhibit the development of SLE-related atherosclerosis.

Objective To explore the correlation between personality traits and non suicidal self injury behavior in adolescent depression patients,in order to enhance understanding of the psychological health risks of depression patients.Methods This study was conducted at the Wuhan Mental Health Center from September 2021 to September 2023.A total of 138 patients with first-onset moderate to severe adolescent depression were included.The patients were divided into a group without self injury suicidal behavior(n=25),a non suicidal self injury(NSSI)group(n=78),and an attempted suicide(SA)group(n=35).Collect general information and data on neurotic personality scores,negative life events,emotional states,and social psychological factors using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD-24),and other psychological assessment tools.Using statistical methods for correlation and regression analysis to study the relationship between personality traits and non suicidal self injury behavior.Results There were significant differences in personality traits such as internal and external tendencies,psychoticism,neuroticism,and concealment among the non self injurious suicide behavior group,non suicidal self injurious behavior group,and suicide behavior group.The scores of the non suicidal self injurious behavior group and suicide behavior group were generally higher than those of the non self injurious self injurious behavior group(P<0.05);There were significant differences in self injury behavior scores among these three groups,especially in the suicide behavior group,which had the highest score,but there was no significant difference in life event scores;There were significant differences in scores for anxiety,depression,childhood trauma,stressful life events,and self-esteem among the three groups.Among them,the suicide behavior group had the highest scores for anxiety,depression,childhood trauma,and stressful life events,but the lowest score for self-esteem(P<0.05);Internal and external tendencies,psychoticism,neuroticism,and concealment are significantly correlated with non suicidal self injury behavior,and multiple regression analysis results show that these factors,as well as anxiety,depression,childhood trauma,stressful life events,and self-esteem,are inde-pendent influencing factors of non suicidal self injury behavior.The best predictive threshold for internal and exter-nal tendencies is-10.5%.Conclusion This study reveals the correlation between personality traits and non sui-cidal self injury behavior in adolescent depression patients.Understanding these relationships in clinical practice and intervention strategies can help better identify high-risk groups and provide personalized mental health support.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics of mpox patients, thereby to rise clinicians′ awareness of severe mpox and provide a foundation for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 41 mpox patients treated at the Beijing You′an Hospital, Capital Medical University, from June to November 2023. Patients were categorized into mild and severe cases based on clinical manifestations, and laboratory results of the two groups were compared. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The clinical manifestations of 41 mpox patients mainly included fever, rash and lymphadenopathy. Five patients with severe mpox might develop serious complications, including bacterial pneumonia, type Ⅰ respiratory failure, fungal infections, penile or perianal dry gangrene, penile soft tissue edema, intestinal obstruction, septic shock, perianal abscess, and necrotizing fasciitis. Patients with severe mpox had significantly higher white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count and C-reactive protein (CRP) level compare to those with mild cases (14.60(9.92, 24.08)×10 9/L vs 6.41(5.64, 8.37)×10 9/L, 12.43(7.02, 21.15)×10 9/L vs 3.35(2.46, 5.03)×10 9/L, 108.20(56.20, 124.10) mg/L vs 16.6(6.25, 49.98) mg/L), while the albumin level and CD4 + T lymphocyte count in the severe group were significantly lower compared to the mild cases (31.80(22.90, 35.15) g/L vs 44.70(42.90, 47.40) g/L, 24.00(12.00, 81.50)/μL vs 606.00(414.50, 767.50)/μL)). All these differences were statistically significant ( U=2.81, 3.02, 2.98, 3.56 and 3.26, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions:In clinical practice, clinicians should be vigilant for the possibility of severe mpox if patients exhibit a significant increase of WBC and CRP, a significant decrease in CD4 + T lymphocyte count, or if they develop severe complications.

The establishment of an intelligent audit system for hospital medical insurance is crucial for standardizing irrational practices and curbing the unwarranted escalation of medical insurance costs. A tertiary hospital has developed comprehensive prescription review rules in terms of indications, nutritional risk assessments, pain score evaluations, drug sensitivity test results, and target patient populations. When using medical insurance funds for settlement, both systematic and manual reviews are conducted, and three-level intervention measures such as " prompt, review, and interception" are implemented based on prescription issues. After the system was put into use, the hospital′s in-process information system supervision mode shifted from the previous focus on prompts to focus on audits. The medical insurance intelligent audit system provided timely prompts and interventions, and the number of unreasonable medical insurance prescriptions and deductions from medical insurance sampling prescriptions significantly decreased ( P<0.001), while the number of medical insurance medication prescription audits increased ( P<0.001). The application of the intelligent medical insurance medication audit system has improved the efficiency of prescription auditing and ensured the rationality of the use of medical insurance funds.

Objective:To analyze the long-term prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and the risk factors related to renal prognosis in children with IgAN-FSGS.Methods:A retrospective study was concluded in IgAN-FSGS children who were followed up for more than 5 years and diagnosed by renal biopsy for the first time in the Eastern Theater General Hospital from January, 2004 to December, 2018. The end-point events of the study were entering end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased by ≥50% from baseline, which were defined as poor renal prognosis. Baseline clinicopathologic data of IgAN-FSGS children were compared between the end-point event group and the non-end-point event group. The cumulative renal survival rate of IgAN-FSGS children was calculated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The influencing factors of poor renal prognosis in IgAN-FSGS children were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model, and the diagnostic value was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) and area under the curve (AUC). The diagnostic value was verified by time dependent-ROC and time dependent-AUC.Results:A total of 204 IgAN-FSGS children were enrolled in this study, of whom 132 cases were males (64.7%). The median age of renal biopsy was 16 (14, 17) years old. During a median follow-up time of 90.7 (71.7, 114.8) months, 57 cases (27.9%) reached the end-point events. Compared with the non-end-point event group ( n=147), the end-point event group ( n=57) had higher proportions of males and hypertension, higher levels of 24-hour urinary protein, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, urinary N-acetyl-β- D-glucosaminidase, urinary retinol binding protein, higher proportions of glomerular segmental sclerosis (S1) ≥25% and tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis (T1/T2), and lower levels of serum albumin, serum IgA, and serum IgG (all P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in treatment (all P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that with entry of ESKD or eGFR decreased by ≥50% from baseline as the end-point events, the 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year cumulative renal survival rates in IgAN-FSGS children were 88.7%, 67.6%, and 50.7%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that proteinuria >1 g/24 h ( HR=3.702, 95% CI 1.657-8.272, P=0.001), hyperuricemia ( HR=3.066, 95% CI 1.793-5.245, P<0.001), S1≥25% ( HR=2.017, 95% CI 1.050-3.874, P=0.035), T1/T2 ( HR=1.863, 95% CI 1.021-3.158, P=0.016) were the independent related factors for poor renal prognosis. ROC curve analysis showed that S1≥25% ( AUC=0.605, P=0.021, sensitivity 26.3%, specificity 94.6%), T1/T2 ( AUC=0.624, P=0.006, sensitivity 43.9%, specificity 81.0%), hyperuricemia ( AUC=0.658, P<0.001, sensitivity 52.6%, specificity 78.9%), proteinuria>1 g/24 h ( AUC=0.670, P<0.001, sensitivity 87.7%, specificity 46.3%) could accurately predict the renal outcome of IgAN-FSGS. Time dependent-ROC curve validation showed that the combined diagnosis of S1≥25%, T1/T2, hyperuricemia and proteinuria>1 g/24 h had a good predictive value for renal prognosis (3-year AUC=0.846 and 5-year AUC=0.777, respectively). Conclusions:During a median follow-up of 90.7 months, 27.9% of IgAN-FSGS children have poor renal prognosis, and the 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year cumulative renal survival rates are 88.7%, 67.6%, and 50.7%, respectively. Urinary protein >1 g/24 h, hyperuricemia, T1/T2, and S1 ≥25% are the risk factors for renal prognosis in IgAN-FSGS children.
