OBJECTIVE To compare the antihypertensive efficacy of sacubitril/valsartan versus benazepril in patients with perimenopausal hypertension, as well as their impacts on ventricular remodeling and inflammatory fibrosis. METHODS A total of 206 perimenopausal hypertensive patients in our hospital from January 1, 2023 to December 30, 2024 were retrospectively included.These patients were enrolled and divided into benazepril group (105 cases) and sacubitril/valsartan group (101 cases). Benazepril group received Benazepril hydrochloride tablet, and sacubitril/valsartan group received Sacubitril valsartan sodium tablet. All patients were treated for 6 months. The blood pressure(systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure) and blood pressure control status before and after treatment, echocardiographic indicators (left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular mass index, relative wall thickness, and early-diastolic peak transmitral flow velocity/early-diastolic peak velocity of the mitral annulus), inflammatory fibrosis related indicators(high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,ratio of monocytes to lymphocytes,and ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes), as well as the occurrence of adverse reactions(hypotension,hyperkalemia,and angioedema) were observed in both groups before and after treatment. RESULTS The blood pressure control rate was significantly higher in the sacubitril/valsartan group than in benazepril group ( P <0.05). After treatment, the blood pressure, echocardiographic indicators(except for left ventricular ejection fraction) ,and inflammatory fibrosis related indicators were significantly lower than those before treatment within the same group, and the sacubitril/valsartan group were significantly lower than the benazepril group ( P <0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of hypotension, hyperkalemia, angioedema, and overall adverse drug reactions between the two groups ( P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared with benazepril, sacubitril/valsartan provides superior blood-pressure control, reverses ventricular remodeling, attenuates inflammatory fibrosis in perimenopausal hypertensive patients, while maintaining a similar safety profile.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior among adolescents has become a global public health concern. Anxiety and depression are considered key factors influencing NSSI behavior, while social support may play a protective role in alleviating emotional and behavioral issues. However, existing research has primarily focused on the direct impact of individual factors on NSSI behavior, with insufficient exploration of the combined effects of anxiety, depression and social support. ObjectiveTo investigate the direct effect of anxiety on NSSI, the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of social support in relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior, thus to provide references for the prevention and intervention of NSSI behavior among adolescents. MethodsIn February 2022, a total of 40 820 students in grades 7 to 12 across 10 middle schools in a district of Chengdu were selected as participants, and they were assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7), Patient's Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), Social Support Scale for Urban Students (SSSUS) and Adolescent Self-Harm Scale (ASHS). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations between scale scores among adolescents with NSSI behaviors. Mediation and moderation analyses were performed using Process 3.5 in SPSS, and the significance was tested with bootstrapping. The interaction was visualized by using simple slope analysis. ResultsAmong 34 534 (84.60%) valid respondents, 542 adolescents (1.57%) reported engaging in NSSI behavior. Significant differences in gender, GAD-7 scores, PHQ-9 scores, and SSSUS scores were observed between NSSI behavior group and non-NSSI group (χ²/t=62.889, 71.120, 94.365, -41.464, P<0.01).Adolesents with NSSI showed positive correlations between GAD-7 scores and both ASHS and PHQ-9 scores (r=0.158, 0.166, P<0.01). PHQ-9 scores were positively correlated with ASHS scores (r=0.364, P<0.01), but negatively correlated with SSSUS scores (r=-0.290, P<0.01). SSSUS scores were negatively correlated with ASHS scores (r=-0.247, P<0.01). Depression partially mediated the relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior, with an effect size of 0.544 (95% CI: 0.162~0.944), accounting for 35.79% of the total effect. Social support moderated the relationship between depression and NSSI bahavior, with an effect value of -0.082 (95% CI: -0.135~-0.029). ConclusionAnxiety not only directly influences NSSI bahavior among adolescents, also indirectly exacerbates it through depression, while social support mitigates the impact of depression on NSSI behavior.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal malignancy affecting the female reproductive system. Pharmacological inhibitors targeting CDK4/6 have demonstrated promising efficacy across various cancer types. However, their clinical benefits in ovarian cancer patients fall short of expectations, with only a subset of patients experiencing these advantageous effects. This study aims to provide further clinical and biological evidence for antineoplastic effects of a CDK4/6 inhibitor (TQB4616) in ovarian cancer and explore underlying mechanisms involved. Patient-derived ovarian cancer organoid models were established to evaluate the effectiveness of TQB3616. Potential key genes related to TQB3616 sensitivity were identified through RNA-seq analysis, and TRIM4 was selected as a candidate gene for further investigation. Subsequently, co-immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down assays confirmed that TRIM4 binds to hnRNPDL and promotes its ubiquitination through RING and B-box domains. RIP assay demonstrated that hnRNPDL binded to CDKN2C isoform 2 and suppressed its expression by alternative splicing. Finally, in vivo studies confirmed that the addition of siTRIM4 significantly improved the effectiveness of TQB3616. Overall, our findings suggest that TRIM4 modulates ubiquitin-mediated degradation of hnRNPDL and weakens sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors in ovarian cancer treatment. TRIM4 may serve as a valuable biomarker for predicting sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors in ovarian cancer.

Objective:To explore the potential categories of return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide theoretical basis for implementing precise interventions of occupational rehabilitation.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A convenient sampling method was used to select 257 postoperative patients with thyroid cancer in Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from May 2022 to July 2023. The General Information Questionnaire, Return-To-Work Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Cancer Fatigue Scale were used for investigation. Latent profile analysis was used to explore the potential categories of return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer. Logistic regression and decision tree were used to analyze the influencing factors of different potential categories.Results:Finally, 250 postoperative patients with thyroid cancer were included. There were 76 males and 174 females, aged (37.91 ± 8.04) years old. The return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer was divided into 2 potential categories: low return-to-work self-efficacy group (72.0%, 180/250) and high return-to-work self-efficacy group (28.0%, 70/250). Logistic regression showed education, thyrotropin suppressive therapy, cancer-related fatigue and age were factors influencing the potential categories of return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer ( OR values were 0.951 - 19.820, all P<0.05). Decision tree model showed education level and cancer-related fatigue were the most important factors ( χ2 = 31.40, 16.95, both P<0.05). Conclusions:There were two potential categories of return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer. Most of them had low levels of return-to-work self-efficacy. Health care professionals should focus on patients who are less educated and having cancer-related fatigue, meanwhile, should not ignore patients who are substandard thyrotropin suppressive therapy, and older. Implement precise interventions of occupational rehabilitation to improve the return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer so as to help them reintegrate into society.

Objective:To compare the difference between virtual surgical planning(VSP)position and postoperative real position of maxilla and condyle,and to explore the degree of intraoperative realization of VSP after orthognathic surgery.Methods:In this study,36 patients with mandibular protrusion de-formity from January 2022 to December 2022 were included.All the patients had been done bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(SSRO)combined with Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy under guidance of VSP.The VSP data(T0)and 1-week postoperative CT(T1)were collected,the 3D model of postoperative CT was established and segmented into upper and lower jaws in CCMF Plan software.At the same time,accor-ding to the morphology of palatal folds,the virtual design was registered with the postoperative model,and the unclear maxillary dentition in the postoperative model was replaced.Then the postoperative model was matched with VSP model by registration of upper skull anatomy that was not affected by the opera-tion.The three-dimensional reference plane and coordinate system were established.Selecting anatomical landmarks and their connections of condyle and maxilla for the measurement,we compared the coordinate changes of marker points in three directions,and the angle changes between the line connecting the marker points and the reference plane to analyze the positional deviation and the angle deviation of the postoperative condyle and maxilla compared to VSP.Results:The postoperative real position of the maxilla deviates from the VSP by nearly 1 mm in the horizontal and vertical directions,and the anteropos-terior deviation was about 1.5 mm.In addition,most patients had a certain degree of counterclockwise rotation of the maxilla after surgery.Most of the bilateral condyle moved forward,outward and downward(the average distance deviation was 0.15 mm,1.54 mm,2.19 mm,respectively),and rotated forward,outward and upward(the average degree deviation was 4.32°,1.02°,0.86°,respectively)compared with the VSP.Conclusion:VSP can be mostly achieved by assistance of 3D printed occlusal plates,but there are certain deviations in the postoperative real position of maxilla and condyle compared with VSP,which may be related to the rotation axis of the mandible in the VSP.It is necessary to use patient personalized condylar rotation axis for VSP,and apply condylar positioning device to further improve surgical accuracy.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab (Dara) - combination regimens for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 34 patients with NDMM receiving treatment regimen including Dara from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital, Huangdao Branch of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University and Taian City Central Hospital between April 2020 and March 2022 were retrospectively collected. The efficacy, survival and adverse reactions of patients were analyzed. Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the factors affecting overall survival (OS) and minimal residual disease (MRD) turning negative.Results:Among 34 patients with NDMM, there were 19 males and 15 females, with 21 cases aged < 65 years and 13 cases aged ≥65 years. The median follow-up duration [ M ( Q1, Q3)] was 22 months (19 months, 26 months), the median of Dara treatment cycles was 7 (5, 11), and the overall response rate (ORR) reached 97.1% (33/34). There were statistically significant differences in the optimal efficacy of patients stratified by receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or not and receiving different treatment cycles (all P ≤ 0.05), while there were no statistically significant differences in patients stratified by other clinical features (all P > 0.05). The 1-year progression-free survival rate was 79.4% and the 1-year OS rate was 94.1%. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the cycle number of treatment regimens containing Dara was an independent influencing factor of MRD turning negative (6 cycles vs. 2 cycles, HR = 0.267, 95% CI: 0.076-0.935, P = 0.039); age ≥ 65 years was an independent risk factor for OS ( HR = 35.313, 95% CI: 1.709-729.669, P = 0.021). The incidence of hematological adverse reactions grade 3 or above was 20.6% (7/34), and the non-hematological adverse reactions primarily included infection [44.1% (15/34)] and edema of extremity and trunk [41.2% (14/34)]. Conclusions:The Dara-based regimens for NDMM exhibit a high ORR. The remission depth accelerated with the increasing number of treatment cycle, and the adverse reactions are mild.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of endoscopic radial incision (ERI) for congenital membranous duodenal stenosis (MDS).Methods:The clinical data of 13 children with MDS receiving ERI in the Department of Gastroenterology of Xi'an Children's Hospital from May 2017 to December 2021 were reviewed and analyzed. The perioperative management, surgical procedures, postoperative complications and follow-up were summarized.Results:There were 5 boys and 8 girls with a median disease duration of 8 (2-20) months, and the median age of diagnosis was 13 months (5-30 months). The septum of 10 cases (10/13) was located in the descending part of the duodenum, and that of 3 cases (3/13) in the horizontal part. The papilla of 1 case (1/13) opened on the septum, that of 3 cases (3/13) within 5 cm of the mouth side of the septum, and that of 9 cases (9/13) within 5 cm of the anal side of the septum. The median diameter of the septal aperture was 3 mm (2-6 mm). All 13 children successfully underwent ERI with a median operation time of 20 min (15-32 min). The average surgical incision was 3 strokes (2-4 strokes), and the endoscope with outer diameter 9.9 mm could pass stenosis after ERI. The median incision diameter was 10 mm (10-12 mm). All patients achieved relief of clinical symptoms after ERI. One patient (1/13) suffered from the postoperative delayed bleeding, which was stopped by endoscopic titanium clamping. No intestinal perforation or duodenal papilla injury occurred, and median postoperative hospital stay was 6 days (5-10 days). The upper gastrointestinal angiogram and gastroscopy were repeated 3 months after ERI, and the median diameter of stenosis was 12 mm (10-15 mm), which was significantly dilated compared with before. The mean body weight increase at 1 month after ERI was 1.20 kg (0.50-1.80 kg), and the mean body weight increase at 3 months was 3.50 kg (2.50-4.00 kg), which reached the normal body weight of the same age.Conclusion:ERI is safe and effective for the treatment of MDS in children, and shows good clinical application and promotion value.
