Objective:
To analyze the issuance of Chinese adolescents mental health promotion policies and policy objects, and to explore the use of different object policy tools and the effectiveness of the policy, so as to provide reference for the improvement of the subsequent policy.
Methods:
Adolescents mental health promotion policies published and policy documents that included adolescents in mental health promotion policies and regulations in China from 2014 to the present were obtained, with the search period of July to August 2024. Policy content and effectiveness were analyzed by using content cross tabulation analysis and Policy Modeling Consistency Index Model (PMC index model). It coded with Nvivo 20 software to understand the types of tools that policy depends on.
Results:
A total of 41 documents were included. The number of adolescent mental health promotion policy texts rose by year, most of which were issued independently, accounting for 70% of the total number of texts issued; 30% were jointly issued, with the Ministry of Education and the National Health Commission as the core subjects. Supply type policy tools accounted for 47.45 % of the total, while environment type and demand type policy tools accounted for 29.68% and 22.87% respectively; the use of policy tools by different policy targets varies, with families and social organizations using more supply type and demand type policy tools, while the education system and healthcare institutions were more inclined to supply type policy tools, and the government departments were more inclined to supply type policy tools and environment type policy tools. In terms of policy effectiveness, there was a common problem of a lack of incentives and constraints, and the PMC values of two long term planning mental health policies were high (7.76, 7.56), and both reached the excellent level.
Conclusions
China has paid more attention to adolescents mental health, and the basic guarantees have been established and overall policy effectiveness is good, but the use of policy tools is uneven. There is a need to improve the operational content of medium and long term policies and to strengthen synergies between implementing departments.

Objective:To investigate the status of self-perceived burden (SPB) in renal transplant recipients and analyze its related influencing factors.Methods:From June to November 2021, the convenient sampling was used to select 203 recipients of kidney transplantation donated by citizens after death in University Town Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine. The general condition questionnaire, self-perceived burden, social support and self-efficacy questionnaire were used for measurement. Univariate analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of SPB.Results:The SPB score of 203 renal transplant recipients was 20.00 (14.00, 28.00) and 53.2% (108/203) of renal transplant recipients had varying degrees of SPB. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in SPB scores among renal transplant recipients with different ages, marital status, occupational status and family monthly income ( P<0.01) , SPB were negatively correlated with social support and self-efficacy ( P<0.01) . Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that age, family monthly income and self-efficacy had negative predictive effects on SPB ( P<0.01) , which could explain 27.1% of the variation of SPB in renal transplant recipients ( F=26.043, P<0.01) . Conclusions:More than half of renal transplant recipients have different degrees of SPB. The level of SPB is higher in young recipients, low-income recipients and low self-efficacy recipients. Nursing staff should adopt specific strategies to improve the level of SPB in renal transplant recipients.

Objective:To analyze and compare the features of undifferentiated-typed early gastric cancer (UD-EGC) and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT) lymphoma under white light endoscopy (WLE) and magnifying endoscopy-narrow band imaging (ME-NBI).Methods:Data of patients with complete endoscopic images of WLE and ME-NBI in Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University from March 2015 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Twenty-six UD-EGC patients and seven gastric MALT lymphoma patients in ⅠE1 stage were included, and the characteristics of the two diseases under WLE and ME-NBI were compared and summarized.Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex or infiltration depth of lesions between the two groups.Under WLE, UD-EGC was often manifested as a single lesion located in the lower part of the stomach, with unclear lesion boundaries. While MALT lymphoma lesions were mostly multifocal with clear boundaries, located in the middle of the stomach. Under ME-NBI, the microsurface pattern of UD-EGC showed dilation or disappearance of areas between the recesses, and the spiral microvascular pattern. However, the microsurface pattern of MALT lymphomas were characterized by " cross-road traffic sign" , " pebble sign" , and the presentation of residual glandular duct at the lesion was similar to that of Helicobacter pylori ( HP)-related gastritis. Furthermore, the microvascular pattern of MALT lymphomas often showed " tree like appearance (TLA)" . After HP eradication therapy, the morphology of microsurface pattern and microvascular pattern in the original lesion area gradually returned to normal. Conclusion:UD-EGC and gastric MALT lymphoma showed particular features in the number, site and boundary under WLE, and they showed significantly different microsurface pattern and microvascular pattern under ME-NBI. Differentiation of the two diseases will help reduce the risk of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Gastric cancer (GC) is known as a top malignant type of tumors worldwide. Despite the recent decrease in mortality rates, the prognosis remains poor. Therefore, it is necessary to find novel biomarkers with early diagnostic value for GC. In this study, we present a large-scale proteomic analysis of 30 GC tissues and 30 matched healthy tissues using label-free global proteome profiling. Our results identified 537 differentially expressed proteins, including 280 upregulated and 257 downregulated pro-teins. The ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) results indicated that the sirtuin signaling pathway was the most activated pathway in GC tissues whereas oxidative phosphorylation was the most inhibited. More-over, the most activated molecular function was cellular movement, including tissue invasion by tumor cell lines. Based on IPA results, 15 hub proteins were screened. Using the receiver operating character-istic curve, most of hub proteins showed a high diagnostic power in distinguishing between tumors and healthy controls. A four-protein (ATP5B-ATP5O-NDUFB4-NDUFB8) diagnostic signature was built using a random forest model. The area under the curve (AUC) values of this model were 0.996 and 0.886 for the training and testing sets, respectively, suggesting that the four-protein signature has a high diag-nostic power. This signature was further tested with independent datasets using plasma enzyme-linked immune sorbent assays, resulting in an AUC value of 0.778 for distinguishing GC tissues from healthy controls, and using immunohistochemical tissue microarray analysis, resulting in an AUC value of 0.805. In conclusion, this study identifies potential biomarkers and improves our understanding of the pathogenesis, providing novel therapeutic targets for GC.

BACKGROUND: At present, there is no consensus on the effect of different dressings in the healing of donor site, and few studies have directly compared the healing effect of different dressings. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the healing effect of five different dressings on donor site wounds by network meta-analysis. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials about different dressings in the treatment of donor site wounds were retrieved by computer in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Chinese Academic Journal Full Text Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature CD-ROM Database, WanFang Data Platform and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database. The retrieval time limit was from inception until May 2018. Literature screening, quality evaluation and data extraction were conducted independently by two postgraduates. Winbugs 1.4.3 and Stata 13.0 softwares were used for data analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 13 randomized controlled trials were included. In the observation group, foam dressing, hydrocolloid dressing, alginate dressing or silver dressing was used. In the control group, vaseline gauze was used. The results of network meta-analysis showed that the healing time of donor sites for alginate dressing, silver dressing, hydrocolloid dressing and foam dressing was significantly shorter than that of vaseline gauze (P < 0.05) , but there was no difference in wound healing time between foam dressing, hydrocolloid dressing, alginate dressing and silver dressing at the donor site (P> 0.05) . The healing effects of different dressings were ranked as follows (from good to bad) : alginate dressing, silver dressing, hydrocolloid dressing, foam dressing and vaseline gauze. Overall findings indicate that alginate dressing may be the best choice to shorten the healing time of donor site, and further investigations are warranted.

OBJECTIVE: To separate and isolate total flavonoids from Dendrobium nobile leaves, and to investigate its anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) activity in vitro. METHODS: Total flavonoids were obtained by ultrasonic extraction method and extracted by chloroform, ethyl acetate and butyl alcohol after the obtained extract was dispersed with water. Qualitative analysis was carried out with color reaction and TLC. The content of total flavonoids in extracts was analyzed quantitatively by Aluminum nitrate-sodium nitrite method. Antioxidant activity of extract was investigated by DPPH radical scavenging assay; the inhibitory effect of each extract on Aβ42 protein aggregation was investigated by Thioflavin T assay. Metals (Cu2+, Fe3+, Zn2+) chelating property was studied by UV-vis spectrum scanning to investigate the anti-AD activity in vitro. RESULTS: The flavonoids were found in ethyl acetate, butyl alcohol and aqueous extracts, and their flavonoids contents were 0. 03, 0. 12, 0. 05 mg/mL, respectively. IC50 of three extracts to DPPH free radicals were 0. 021, 0. 011, 0. 013 mg/mL. Inhibitory rates of them to Aβ42 protein aggregation were 43. 77%, 52. 28%, 38. 42%, respectively. Three extracts exerted metal chelating ability which was best in Cu2+. CONCLUSIONS: The total flavonoids from D. nobile leaves have good antioxidant activities, Aβ42 aggregation inhibitory activities and metal chelating activity, show certain anti-AD activity in vitro especially in butyl alcohol extract.
