Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and changing trends of non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behaviors among middle school students in Jiading District of Shanghai, from 2015 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for the development of NSSI prevention and control measures among students. Methods: Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, a total of five times for Shanghai Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Surveys were conducted for every two years in Jiading District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2023. A total of 5 231 middle school students from junior high schools and senior high schools were selected for questionnaire surveys. Intergroup comparisons were performed using the x 2 test or the χ 2 trend test, and the JointPoint 5.0 software was used to analyze the changing trends, with the annual percent change (APC) used for evaluation. A binary Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the related factors of NSSI behavior among middle school students. Results: In 2023, the reported NSSI rate among middle school students in Jiading District was 14.2%. The rate was significantly higher among junior high school students (17.1%) than that among senior high school students (11.1%), and higher among females (19.2%) than that among males (10.0%) ( χ 2=10.04, 23.21, both P <0.01). From 2015 to 2023, the overall reported NSSI rate showed an increasing trend, rising from 8.6% in 2015 to 14.2% in 2023 ( χ 2 trend =22.25), with an APC of 6.64% ( t =3.49), and the APC for girls was 9.79 % ( t =3.20) (all P <0.05). Among students reporting NSSI, the proportion experiencing ≥6 episodes increased from 10.8% in 2015 to 19.2% in 2023 ( χ 2 trend =6.57, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that girls, junior high school students, those with insomnia, depressive emotion and drinkers had higher risks of NSSI, compared to boys, senior high school students, those without insomnia, non depressive emotion students and non drinkers ( OR =1.71, 1.96, 3.44, 4.76, 1.77, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions The reported rate of NSSI among middle school students in Jiading District of Shanghai, increased annually from 2015 to 2023, and the proportion of repeated NSSI also showed an upward trend. Early intervention measures targeting middle school students, especially junior high school students and females, should be implemented to prevent and control its occurrence and development.

Objective To develop a nomogram diagnostic model to differentiate peripheral small cell lung cancer(PSCLC)from peripheral lung adenocarcinoma(PADC)using clinical and multi spiral computed tomography features.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the CT characteristics and clinical presentations of 50 PSCLC and 100 PADC.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify significant features.A nomogram was constructed to quantify the influencing factors.The efficacy and clinical applicability of the model were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Smoking,neuron-specific enolase(NSE),smooth margin,spindle/branching shape,and lymphadenopathy were independent risk factors for PSCLC(P＜0.05),whereas rough margin and lobulation sign were independent risk factors for PADC(P＜0.05).The nomogram model demonstrated high diagnostic efficacy,and the calibration curve exhibited a good degree of calibration(Brier=0.079).The DCA indicated that the nomogram model possesses substantial clinical utility.Conclusion The nomogram model developed based on six indicators,including smoking,NSE≥17 ng/mL,margin characteristics,spindle/branching shape,lobulation sign,and lymphadenopathy can well distinguish PSCLC from PADC.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of Gualou Guizhi granules(GLGZG)on neuronal injury induced by LPS-activated microglia based on Notch signaling pathway.Methods LPS-activated microglia were co-cultured with neurons to construct neuron inju-ry models,and the cells were divided into the control group,model group,Notch inhibitor(DAPT)group,GLGZG(50,100,200 mg·L-1)group,DAPT+100 mg·L-1GLGZG group.After intervention,the activity of HT22 cells was detected by CCK-8 method,and rel-ative mRNA expression was detected by real-time PCR.The relative protein expression was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group,after GLGZG intervention,the cell activity was significantly improved,GLGZG decreased IL-6,IL-12,Bax,Notch 1,caspase-3,Delta-1,NICD,RBPSUH,HES1 expression,and increased Bcl-2 expression(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the NICD,RBPSUH and HES1 mRNA and protein expressions significantly decreased after DAPT treatment(P＜0.05),and there was no superposition effect with GLG-ZG.Conclusion GLGZG may play a neuroprotective role by inhibiting inflammatory factors and apoptosis,and inhibiting Notch signaling pathway.

Aim To explore the relevant mechanisms of isoliquiritigenin(ISL)in inhibiting the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs)by regulating the GRB2/ERK signaling pathway.Methods Human primary vascular smooth muscle cells(hVSMCs)were cultured,and stimulated with different concentrations of ISL and fixed concen-trations of growth factors PDGF-BB and EGF,respec-tively.Subsequently,the effect of overexpressing GRB2 on the efficacy of ISL was observed.CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation;BrdU assay was used to detect DNA synthesis;Western blot was used to de-tect the expression levels of OPN,ICAM-1,VCAM-1,GRB2,ERK1/2,and p-ERK1/2;wound healing assay was used to detect cell migration;transwell assay was used to detect cell invasion.Results Compared with the blank control group and the ISL 20 mg·L-1 group,the PDGF-BB group and the EGF group showed increased cell viability and DNA synthesis,decreased cell migration distance,and increased number of inva-sive cells.Additionally,the expression levels of GRB2 and p-ERK1/2 increased.Compared with the PDGF-BB 40 μg·L-1group or the EGF 10 mg·L-1 group,the ISL drug intervention group showed decreased cell viability and DNA synthesis,increased migration dis-tance of cells,decreased number of invasive cells,and decreased expression levels of GRB2 and p-ERK1/2.Compared with the ISL 20 mg·L-1+PDGF-BB and ISL 20 mg·L-1+EGF groups,the groups with ISL+PDGF-BB+pcDNA-GRB2 group and ISL+EGF+pcDNA-GRB2 group showed increased expression lev-els of GRB2,p-ERK1/2,OPN,ICAM-1,and VCAM-1,increased cell viability and DNA synthesis,decreased migration distance,and increased number of invasive cells.Compared with the ISL+PDGF-BB+pcDNA-GRB2 group and the ISL+EGF+pcDNA-GRB2 group,the pcDNA-GRB2+PDGF-BB group or the pcDNA-GRB2+EGF group showed increased expres-sion levels of GRB2,p-ERK1/2,OPN,ICAM-1,and VCAM-1,increased cell viability and DNA synthesis,decreased migration distance,and increased number of invasive cells.Conclusions Isoliquiritigenin inhibits the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth mus-cle cells by regulating the GRB2/ERK signaling path-way.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of an interpretable integrated learning model combining clinical indicators,CT image features and radiomics features for the differential diagnosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma,so as to provide references for clincal treatment decisions.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical and imaging data from 220 patients(231 lesions)with primary non-small cell lung cancer at Jiangjin Central Hospital of Chongqing(Center 1)and 83 patients(84 lesions)at Chongqing General Hospital(Center 2).In Center 1,the squamous cell carcinoma group consisted of 60 patients(60 lesions),while the adenocarcinoma group included 160 patients(171 lesions).In Center 2,the squamous cell carcinoma group comprised 18 patients(18 lesions),and the adenocarcinoma group involved 65 patients(66 lesions).The patients were categorized into squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma groups based on pathological findings.Center 1 was randomly partitioned into a training set and a validation set at a 7∶3 ratio,while Center 2 served as the independent test set.Firstly,a deep learning model,VB-Net,was used to automatically segment the tumor region on the lung window image;secondly,the SMOTE(synthetic minority oversampling technique)method was used to balance the categories in the training set and standardize the extracted features with Z-scores;thirdly,the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)were used to select the optimal radiomics features and calculate the radiomics score(Radscore),and univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to screen clinical indicators and independent clinical factors for differentiating lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma in CT image features;finally,three ensemble learning algorithms(AdaBoost,Bagging decision tree and XGBoost)were used to combine independent clinical factors and Radscore to construct the model.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the models.SHAP technique was used to analyze the feature contribution and model decision-making process.Results Among the evaluated ensemble models,AdaBoost and Bagging decision trees demonstrated overfitting tendencies.In contrast,the XGBoost model showed the best performance,achieving AUC values of 0.939,0.887 and 0.853 in the training,validation and independent test sets,respectively.SHAP indicated that Radscore was the most important feature affecting the performance of the model.The decision diagram enabled the visualization of the diagnostic process of the model.Conclusion The interpretable integrated learning model based on clinical indicators,CT image and radiomics features is expected to non-invasively diagnose lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma before treatment and assist clinicians make treatment decisions as early as possible.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(7):12-20]

To explore the mediating effect of resilience between sleep quality index and quality of life in lung cancer patients,we used General data questionnaire,Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale,Chinese version Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale and functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung to investigate 218 lung cancer patients in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine,Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University during Nov 2023 to Feb 2024.A structural equation model was constructed to analyze the mediating effect of resilience between sleep quality index and quality of life.The sleep quality of lung cancer patients was in mild sleep disturbance.There was a negative correlation between sleep quality index and quality of life.Resilience of the patients partly mediated the relationship between sleep quality index and quality of life with an effect of 0.826,accounting for 28.47%of the total effect.Doctors and nurses should pay attention to enhancing the resilience level of lung cancer patients and improving their impact of sleep disturbance on the quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter aortic valve implantation(TAVI)for the treatment of primary aortic valve regurgitation(NAVR)and to compare the difference in the choice of prosthetic valve size and the difference in complications with aortic stenosis(AS).Methods According to the definition of Valve Academic Research Consortium(VARC-3),143 patients with NAVR/AS treated with TAVI and patients with NAVR treated with surgical aortic valve replacement(SAVR)at Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology,China,from March 2019 to September 2024 were selected,and clinical data on baseline,perioperative,and primary endpoint events were were retrospectively collected and compared.Results Forty-three patients with NAVR were treated with TAVI,with a device success rate of 86.0％and a surgical success rate of 95.3％.Subgroup comparisons:(1)NAVR-TAVI group than NAVR-SAVR group:patients in the TAVI group had a significantly shorter operative time than those in the SAVR group(P＜0.001);complete left bundle branch block was more likely to occur after TAVI(P=0.042),and complete right bundle branch block was more likely to occur after SAVR(P=0.044).SAVR postoperatively The incidence of congestive heart failure was higher(P=0.013),and the mortality rate was significantly higher in the SAVR group than in the TAVI group(P=0.019).(2)NAVR-TAVI group than AS-TAVI group:the differences in access selection,THV size[28(22,34)mm vs.24(22,32)mm,P=0.044]and proportion of THV overdiameter[14％(7％,20％)vs.7％(3％,11％),P＜0.001]were statistically significant.patients in AS and NAVR groups had 1 case of permanent pacing after TAVI treatment.In the AS and NAVR groups,there was 1 case of permanent pacemaker implantation after TAVI.2 patients in the AS group were converted to surgical treatment,and 6 patients died.Conclusions The use of"off-label"(transfemoral)and"on-label"(transapical)TAVI devices(both from domestic sources)is safer than SAVR for the treatment of NAVR,especially in elderly and high-risk patients.Compared with patients with AS treated with TAVI,larger diameter annulas are usually selected for NAVR,with higher rates of valve migration,but overall safety and efficacy are comparable to AS.

Objective:To investigate the effects of moxibustion,filiform needle acupuncture,and electroacupuncture on synovial hypoxia and expression of synovial fibrosis markers[transforming growth factor(TGF)-β and collagen alpha-1(Ⅰ)chain(COL1A1)]in knee osteoarthritis(KOA)rats.Methods:Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,a moxibustion group,an acupuncture group,and an electroacupuncture group,with 10 rats in each group.Except for the normal group,rats in the other four groups were injected with sodium iodoacetate into the right knee joint cavity to establish KOA models.The right Futu(ST32)and Zusanli(ST36)were selected in the moxibustion,acupuncture,and electroacupuncture groups to perform the mild moxibustion with moxa sticks,filiform needle acupuncture,or electroacupuncture,respectively.Each intervention lasted 15 min,once every other day,and continued for 4 weeks,with a total of 14 interventions.The Lequesne score was used to evaluate the degree of knee dysfunction before and after intervention,and the rat's right knee joint diameter was measured to evaluate the degree of knee swelling.Morphological changes of the right knee joint synovial tissue were observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining.Hypoxia probe immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the degree of synovial hypoxia in rats.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-1α,TGF-β,and COL1A1 in the synovial tissue of the right knee joints.Results:Before intervention,the Lequesne score and the right knee joint diameter in the other four groups increased significantly compared to the normal group(P<0.01).After intervention,the Lequesne score and the right knee joint diameter increased significantly in the model group compared to the normal group(P<0.01)together with worsened cartilage deformation and osteophytes,inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis in synovial tissue,and hypoxia degree,and the expression levels of HIF-1α,TGF-β,and COL1A1 proteins in the knee joint synovial tissue of rats increased(P<0.01).The Lequesne score and the right knee joint diameter decreased significantly(P<0.01 or P<0.05),the cartilage morphology was normal without obvious osteophytes,and the hypoxia degree reduced in the three intervention groups compared to the model group.Among them,the moxibustion group had the most notable improvement in hypoxia,synovial tissue fibrosis,angiogenesis,and inflammatory cell infiltration.The expression levels of HIF-1α,TGF-β,and COL1A1 proteins decreased in the moxibustion and electroacupuncture groups(P<0.01),and the expression levels of HIF-1α and TGF-β proteins were decreased in the acupuncture group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Moxibustion,filiform needle acupuncture,and electroacupuncture improve knee joint function and reduce knee joint swelling in KOA rats.The mechanism may be to improve synovial fibrosis of the knee joint by regulating HIF-1α;moxibustion has the best effect on improving hypoxia among the three interventions,but the effect of filiform needle acupuncture on COL1A1 is not significant.

This study analyzed the demographic characteristics and clinically significant inflammatory index changes in listeriosis cases in China from 2010 to 2023.The aim was to understand Listeria monocytogenes susceptibility,to provide a reference for listeriosis prevention and control.Records in three Chinese databases—the China Knowledge Network,Wanfang Database,and VIP Database—from January 1,2010,to December 31,2023,were searched.Statistical analysis was conducted on the clinical features and epidemiological information for all identified cases.A total of 693 cases of listeriosis were included:482 occurring during the perinatal period and 211 occurring outside the perinatal period.The average mortality rate was 17.2%(119/693).The predominant clinical manifestations of listeriosis in neonatal patients during the perinatal period were sepsis(75.5%,241/319)and meningitis(41.1%,131/319).The mortality rate among neonatal patients was 27.1%(76/280).In patients in the non-perinatal period,meningitis(70.1%,148/211)and sepsis(43.6%,92/211)were the main clinical manifestations,and the average patient age was 47.2 years.Among patients of known age,the highest prevalence was observed in the 40-64 year age group,which accounted for 44.9%(44/98).Sixty-one cases had no other underlying diseases before infection.Reported cases of listeriosis occurred in 27 provinces(municipalities,and autonomous region)in China,and Beijing reported the most cases,accounting for 23.7%(164/693).L.monocytogenes was sensitive to β-lactam drug treatment but showed differing degrees of drug resistance.Among 145 cases,12 were resistant to penicillin,and 16 were resistant to oxacillin.Listeriosis is a foodborne disease with a high mortality rate,particularly among neonates.With the continuing emergence of drug-resistant strains,standardizing and strengthening prevention and treatment measures for this disease as early as possible are essential.

Objective To investigate if Shikonin(SKI)can induce ferroptosis via the ROS/JNK pathway to inhibit the malignant behavior of pancreatic cancer.Methods Human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 or BxPC-3 cells were selected.Drug efficacy experiments were established with a blank control group(Con group)and low,medium,and high dose SKI groups(2,4,8 μmol/L).JNK-related mechanism experiments were categorized into a blank control group(Con group),SKI group,and SKI+JNK inhibitor group(SKI+SP600125 group).ROS-related mechanism experiments were divided into a blank control group(Con group),SKI group,and SKI+ROS scavenger group(SKI+NAC group).Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 method to calculate IC50;Transwell experiments evaluated cell migration and invasion capabilities;the C11 BODIPY 581/591 probe was utilized for flow cytometry to detect lipid peroxidation levels,while the FerroOrange fluorescent probe measured ferrous ion levels;ROS levels were determined using a ROS detection kit;the Western blot method identified ferroptosis-related key proteins(SLC7A11,GPX4),apoptosis-related proteins(Caspase3,PARP),and JNK pathway proteins(JNK,p-JNK);an in vivo xenograft tumor model was employed to assess tumor proliferation.Results SKI treatment significantly and dose-dependently inhibited PANC-1 cell viability(IC50:6.04 μmol/L,P<0.0001)and BxPC-3 cell viability(IC50:12.27 μmol/L,P<0.0001),and significantly reduced migrating and invasive cell numbers(P<0.0001),with migration cell numbers dropping to about 30%of the control group at 8 μmol/L SKI treatment(P<0.0001).Mechanistically,SKI induced increased intracellular lipid peroxidation,Fe2+accumulation,and significant ROS production(P<0.0001),significantly downregulated SLC7A11 and GPX4 protein expression(GPX4 protein expression reduced to 40%of that in the control group,P<0.0001),and activated JNK phosphorylation(p-JNK/JNK ratio increased to 2.8-fold,P<0.0001).Pretreatment with the JNK-specific inhibitor SP600125 or ROS scavenger NAC effectively reversed SKI's inhibition of cell viability and downregulation of SLC7A11/GPX4 protein(all P<0.01).SKI also inhibited pancreatic cancer tumor cell proliferation in vivo(P<0.0001).Conclusion SKI induces ferroptosis by activating the ROS/JNK pathway,thereby inhibiting pancreatic cancer proliferation,migration,and invasion.
