OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism by which Shenfukang capsule （SFK） ameliorates renal interstitial fibrosis （RIF） by regulating macrophage-fibroblast crosstalk via the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）/Yes-associated protein （YAP） pathway. METHODS RAW264.7 macrophages were induced to polarize with transforming growth factor-β 1 （TGF-β 1 ）. Subsequently， a non-contact co-culture system of macrophages with renal fibroblasts NRK-49F， as well as a non-contact co-culture system of macrophages with YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts， were established. Cells were treated with low， medium， and high concentrations （4， 8， 16 μg/mL） of SFK， as well as a STAT3 inhibitor （STAT3-I，1.64 μg/mL） and losartan potassium tablets （positive control， 0.28 μg/mL）， for 48 h. After intervention， the protein and mRNA expression levels of CD86， CD163， and STAT3 in macrophages， as well as CD86， F4/80， and STAT3 mRNA， were detected. In co-cultured renal fibroblasts， the protein and mRNA expression levels of α -smooth muscle actin （ α -SMA）， Vimentin， collagen type Ⅰ （Col-Ⅰ）， matrix metalloproteinase-1 （MMP-1）， and YAP were detected. In co-cultured YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts， the protein and mRNA expression levels of α -SMA， Vimentin， and MMP-1 were also detected. RESULTS Following TGF-β 1 induction， the protein expression levels of CD86， CD163， and STAT3， as well as the mRNA expression levels of CD86， F4/80， and STAT3 in macrophages were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）. The conditioned medium from polarized macrophages activated renal fibroblasts， as evidenced by significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of α -SMA， Vimentin， Col-Ⅰ， and YAP， and significantly decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of MMP-1 in renal fibroblasts （ P ＜0.05）. Treatment with SFK and STAT3-I reversed the changes in the above indicators， with the medium concentration SFK group showing stronge r effects on some indicators than the low and high concentration groups. In the non-contact co-culture experiment of macrophages and YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts， there were no statistically significant differences in the protein and mRNA expression of α-SMA， Vimentin， and MMP-1 among the groups. CONCLUSIONS SFK can inhibit macrophage-renal fibroblast crosstalk by blocking the STAT3/YAP pathway， thereby delaying the progression of RIF.

Objective:To explore the occupational adaptability of psychiatric medical caregivers from the perspective of a composite ecosystem.Methods:Using purposive sampling combining with snowball sampling and based on ecosystem theory, an interview outline was set up to conduct semi-structured interviews with psychiatric medical caregivers from October to December 2023. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to extract the themes.Results:Totally 15 psychiatric medical caregivers aged 44-61 years, 4 males and 11 females. There were three themes in the study: microsystems-changes in cognition, emotion, and physical and mental health; mid-level system-support and difficulties for families, hospitals, and nursing staff institutions; the macro system-social psychological support system was lacking.Conclusions:Psychiatric medical caregivers lack professional knowledge, have more negative emotions in their emotional experiences, and have a serious lack of mental health support systems. There are biases and misunderstandings towards them in society. It is recommended that managers pay attention to the physical and mental health of psychiatric caregivers and improve their work adaptability.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery and to identify risk factors associated with SSI in an attempt to provide a reference for clinical prevention strategies.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data were retrospectively collected from a total of 2,248 patients who underwent surgery for pathologically confirmed CRC between 2017 and 2022 at two centers: Huangshan Shoukang Hospital ( n=649) and Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital ( n=1 599). Inclusion criteria consisted of the following: (1) age >18 years; (2) pathologically confirmed CRC treated with curative resection, including extended resections (e.g. pelvic exenteration); (3) no surgical incisions other than abdominal or perineal; and (4) no use of prosthetic implants. The incidence of SSI was analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent its risk factors. Results:A total of 121 patients (5.4%) developed SSI. Among them, 68 cases (56.2%) were organ/space infections, 35 cases (28.9%) were deep incisional infections, and 18 cases (14.9%) were superficial incisional infections. The median postoperative hospital stay was significantly longer in patients with SSI compared to those without (21.0 days vs. 13.0 days, U=65,754, P<0.001). The median hospitalization cost was also significantly higher in the SSI group (56,550 yuan vs. 43,645 yuan, U=72,008, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified body mass index (BMI) ≤ 20 kg/m 2 (OR=4.25, 95%CI: 3.38-5.34, P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR=3.44, 95%CI: 1.89-6.24, P<0.001), open surgery (OR=4.23, 95%CI: 2.37-7.56, P<0.001), and colostomy or ileostomy (OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.04-2.69, P=0.034) as independent risk factors for SSI. Conclusion:To prevent SSI following CRC surgery, attention should be given to optimizing body weight and glycemic control, promoting minimally invasive surgical approaches when feasible, and cautiously considering the necessity of colostomy or ileostomy.

Objective: To explore the association of physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with psychological sub health among middle school students in Bao an District, Shenzhen, so as to provide a reference for adolescent mental health promotion. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted in November 2024 by a stratified cluster random sampling method to select 6 926 junior and senior middle school students from 5 middle schools in Shenzhen. The questionnaire from Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System was used to assess the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, and physical activity Rating Scale was used to assess the level of physical activity, and Brief Instrument on Psychological Health of Youths was used to evaluate the psychological sub health status. The Chi -square test was used to analyze the differences in the detection rates of psychological sub health among different groups of middle school students, and a multivariate Logistic regression model was established to analyze the effects of physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage consumption and their combined effects on the psychological sub health of middle school students. Results: The detection rate of psychological sub health among middle school students in Bao an District, Shenzhen was 18.93%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as gender, school stage, family residence, family economic status, parental literacy, academic stress and number of friends, lack of physical activity or excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption were associated with increased risks of psychological sub health among middle school students ( OR =1.36, 1.45); and the highest risk of psychological sub health was found in middle school students who were lack of physical activity and excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption ( OR =2.59) ( P <0.01). Further analysis by school stages showed that junior high school students with sufficient physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks ( ROR =2.10), lack of physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks ( ROR =2.31) were at higher risks of psychological sub health than senior high school students( P <0.05). Conclusions Insufficient physical activity and excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption are closely associated with an increased risk of psychological sub health among middle school students. Effective interventions should be targeted to reduce the risk of psychological sub health problems among middle school students.
