Objective:To examine the interaction between interpersonal issues and eating behavior problems among college freshmen, and to identify core psychological factors and potential pathways that drive eating behavior.Methods:In October 2019, a total of 5 073 college freshmen from a university in Shanghai were recruited as participants. Their general demographic data were collected, and they were evaluated using the eating disorder examination questionnaire 6.0 (EDE-Q 6.0) and inventory of interpersonal problems-32(IIP-32).Descriptive analyses were performed using SPSS 24.0 software.A regularized partial correlation network was constructed using the graphical least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (GLASSO) in R(v4.2.3) software. A Bayesian network analysis (BNA) was conducted to build a directed network, aiming to identify core driving factors and key psychological mechanisms.Results:Regularized partial correlation network identified shape concern as the most central node, with the highest strength centrality(1.32) and expected influence(1.20). It showed the highest bridge strength with dominance/control (0.22, 0.21), linking the interpersonal and eating behavior modules. Directed network analysis indicated that low self-confidence was the upstream node influencing social inhibition and cold/ distant relationships, indirectly affecting eating disorder.Within the eating module, shape concern and weight concern predicted eating preoccupation and dietary restraint, forming a pathway structure from eating cognition to behavior.The network demonstrated good stability (CS-coefficient=0.75).Conclusion:Shape concern is the core mechanism underlying eating problems in college freshmen. Low self-confidence contributes indirectly via interpersonal dysfunction. Dominance/control and shape concern bridge interpersonal and eating domains, providing key targets for early prevention and intervention.

Patients with specific language impairment(SLI)have normal intelligence but experience difficul-ties in language comprehension and expression.At present,the cause of the disease has not been determined,and only a few potential causes are being discussed,among which the relationship between auditory processing abilities and language problems of this group has attracted much attentions.An increasing number of studies employ electro-physiological techniques to investigate the auditory processing abilities of SLI patients,accumulating substantial evi-dence.Therefore,this study reviewed empirical research on the auditory processing abilities of SLI patients from the perspectives of auditory brainstem response,middle-latency response,and long-latency response.It aims to eluci-date the characteristics of auditory processing in SLI patients,analyze its relationship with language disorders,and offer insights into the diagnosis and treatment of SLI patients.

With the change of infectious disease incidence pattern and the development of related technologies, progresses have been made in the research of infectious disease epidemiology. In recent years, due to the change in the requirements of infectious disease prevention and control, the research focus has expanded from common infectious diseases to diseases which have been eliminated or might be eliminated, as well as emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Infectious disease data has been characterized by multiple sources and modalities. Along with the rapid development of pathogen detection methods, infectious disease surveillance has shifted from a single disease-targted one to a comprehensive one. Moreover, novel technologies such as multi-omics and artificial intelligence have been applied in infectious disease epidemiology research. The international cooperation in this field has become increasingly crucial, and the revision of the International Health Regulations and the negotiation of pandemic agreement will have a profound impact. In the future, infectious disease epidemiology research will develop with more powerful tools to improve its capabilities.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathogenic characteristics,as well as influencing factors for the prognosis of patients with Candida bloodstream infection(CBSI).Methods Clinical data of 47 CBSI patients in a hospital from January 2015 to September 2024 were collected.Distribution of departments and infection strains,an-timicrobial resistance,and influencing factors for the poor prognosis of patients were analyzed.Results A total of 51 strains of Candida were detected from 47 CBSI patients,mainly from the intensive care unit(ICU;n=25,53.2％),department of intestinal fistula surgery(n=8,17.0％),and department of respiratory medicine(n=4,8.6％),et al.The main detected pathogens were Candida albicans(n=29,56.9％),Candida tropicalis(n=7,13.7％),Candida glabrata(n=6,11.8％),and Candida parapsilosis(n=6,11.8％).Resistance rate of Candida albi-cans to fluconazole was 11.5％(3/26).According to the prognosis results,patients were divided into a good prog-nosis group(n=26,55.3％)and a poor prognosis group(n=21,44.7％).Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences between patients in the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group in terms of abso-lute neutrophil count,ICU admission,mechanical ventilation,tracheal intubation,gastrointestinal hemorrhage/per-foration,and surgical treatment(lesion clearance,drainage or unblocking for obstruction)(all P＜0.05).Prelimi-nary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gastrointestinal hemorrhage/perforation was a potential risk factor for the poor prognosis in CBSI patients(OR=11.156,95％CI:1.434-86.809,P=0.021).Conclusion The detected CBSI strains are mainly Candida albicans,and gastrointestinal hemorrhage/perforation may be one of the potential risk factors affecting the prognosis of CBSI patients.These patients are generally in critical condition and should be detected and treated as early as possible to improve their prognosis.Due to the small amount of speci-mens,further research is still needed for confirmation.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and prognosis of renal solitary fibrous tumor (SFT).Methods:Five cases of renal SFT with unequivocal diagnoses at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between January 2011 and July 2025 were subject to analyses of their clinical, morphological, immunophenotypic, and molecular characteristics, accompanied by a literature review.Results:Two males and three females aged between 45 and 62 years were included, all of whom presented with the discovery of a renal mass during routine physical examinations. Gross examination showed that the five tumors were all confined in the kidney. The tumors were nodular with maximum diameters ranging from 2.5 cm to 11.0 cm (mean, 5.8 cm). Upon cross-sectioning, they exhibited gray-white or gray-yellow cut surface. Histologically, the tumor cells exhibited oval or short spindle shapes in four cases, presenting with varying densities and arranged in short bundles, woven patterns, and irregular formation. Various amounts of coarse collagen and scattered staghorn blood-vessels were found in the stroma. In one case (case 5), the tumor cells were long spindle-shaped, densely organized in bundles, and interwoven, exhibiting inconspicuous boundaries, moderate nuclear atypia, and at least 4 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields. Irregular patchy collagen deposition was particularly prominent at the edges of the tumor tissue. In two cases (cases 3 and 5), scattered and various amounts of renal tubules were observed in the tumor. Two cases (cases 4 and 5) demonstrated focal invasion of the renal parenchyma, although no necrosis was noted. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the tumor cells were diffusely and strongly positive for vimentin and STAT6 in all 5 cases, and positive for CD34. Bcl-2 positivity was present in 4 of the 5 cases. All cases were negative for CKpan, EMA, PAX8, HMB45, Melan A, SMA, and S-100 protein. The p53 status was wild type, and the Ki-67 index ranged from 1% to 8%. Next-generation sequencing was conducted on one case (case 4), revealing the NAB2 (exon 3)::STAT6 (exon 18) gene fusion. The 5 patients were followed up for 1 to 158 months (mean, 56 months), and all were alive with no recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions:SFT of the kidney are rare and morphologically similar to extrarenal SFT. Key morphological features include short spindle-shaped tumor cells arranged in bundles, interwoven patterns or irregularly, accompanied by staghorn blood-vessels and scattered coarse hyaline collagen fibers. SFT with epithelial inclusions may represent a relatively common histological subtype in the kidney. Immunohistochemical staining that demonstrates diffuse and strong positivity for STAT6 and CD34 is instrumental in diagnosing this tumor. The pathogenesis is linked to the centromeric inversion of chromosome 12q, resulting in the fusion of the NAB2 and STAT6 genes. Most of these tumors exhibit favorable prognosis.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of cobalt chloride test papers and borescope in evaluating the drying of endoscopes,providing a reference for clinical selection of appropriate assessment tools.Methods 10 gastroscopes and 10 colonoscopes procedures were selected from November 2023 to March 2024 for circulation experiments.After endoscope reprocessing,they were randomly divided into five groups with different drying times(30 s,3 min,6 min,9 min,and 12 min)with 200 samples.Cobalt chloride test paper and borescope were used to evaluate the drying effectiveness.Results The qualified rate of gastrointestinal endoscope by borescope was significantly higher than that by cobalt chloride test paper,but cobalt chloride test paper was obviously better than that by borescope in convenience and cost-effectiveness.The borescope had the function of visualization,and the quantitative positioning observation of residual droplets showed that there were a large number of droplets left after gastrointestinal endoscope drying for 30 s,and the number of droplets was obviously reduced after drying for 3 min.Among them,the gastroscope was mainly light(1～5 drops/strip)and none(0 drops/strip),and the colonoscope was mainly moderate(6～10 drops/strip)and light droplets.Compared with different drying times,there was a significant statistical difference in the number of residual droplets in the endoscope(P<0.01),and the localized droplets mainly remained in the distal bending part and the proximal bifurcation part of the lumen.Conclusion Both cobalt chloride test papers and borescope are important methods for assessing endoscope drying efficacy,each with its own advantages and limitations.Clinicians can use both methods in combination to comprehensively evaluate the overall dryness of endoscopes,thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the endoscope reprocessing process.

Objective:To analyze the reasons for the low results obtained by the determination of isosorbide dini-trate tablets content using the methods in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and to improve the content determination method.Methods:The content of isosorbide dinitrate in 10 tablets was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)using a Phenomenex Luna C18 column(4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm)for separation,with a mobile phase of methanol-water(54∶46),a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1,and a UV detector set at a wavelength of 230 nm.The average content of 10 tablets was taken as the result of the content determination.Results:Isosor-bide dinitrate showed good linearity in the range of 49.22 to 1 230.5 μg·mL-1(r=0.999 96);the relative stand-ard deviation was 0.11％,the recovery rate was 96.0％,and the RSD was 1.5％(n=9).Conclusion:This method simplifies the experimental operations and steps,can eliminate the interference factors introduced by the original method,and improves the accuracy of the detection results.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide. The traditional early screening modality of ultrasound,when combined with the biomarker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP),is deficient in sensitivity and specificity. In recent years,HCC risk assessment models based on statistical methods have been widely developed and validated due to advantages such as good efficacy,non-invasiveness,and ease of generalization. Currently,HCC risk assessment models adapted to the characteristics of patients with chronic liver disease,patients with hepatitis B and C,patients with cirrhosis,and the general population have been developed. The purpose of this review is to assist clinical diagnosis treatment,and scientific research by analyzing the current research status and development of liver cancer risk assessment models.
