The sixth edition of the Korean Medication Algorithm Project for Depressive Disorder (KMAP-DD) was published in 2025. This review compared KMAP-DD 2025 with four major international clinical practice guidelines: Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments Clinical Guidelines for the Management of Major Depressive Disorders, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Depression Guideline, Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists Clinical Practice Guidelines for Mood Disorders, and British Association for Psychopharmacology Guideline. While KMAP-DD is based on expert consensus, and others on evidence-based methods, overall treatment strategies for depressive episodes were fairly consistent. Especially, KMAP-DD 2025 offers more structured recommendations in areas lacking strong evidence, such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder, perinatal depression, and depression with medical comorbidities. KMAP-DD 2025 also reflected Korean clinical practice patterns emphasizing rapid symptom relief and early use of combination strategies. Despite limitations as a consensus-based guideline, KMAP-DD 2025 complements evidence-based approaches and provides practical, situation-specific guidance for real-world clinical decision-making in Korea.

This study explored a novel digital design and fabrication method for a double constrained split orthodontic miniscrew guide to improve the accuracy and safety of clinical miniscrew implantation and reduce related complications. A patient requiring miniscrew implantation was selected, and data were acquired using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral optical scanning. For the construction of a double constrained split guide including a screw-hole guide and an insertion rod guide, different types of software such as Mimics 24.0, Geomagic wrap 2021, and Materialise magics 21.0 were utilized for 3D reconstruction, model integration, and guide design. The guide was then fabricated via laser metal 3D printing. Model and intraoral try-in results demonstrated that the guide fitted well and was stable. Postoperative CBCT verified that the final miniscrew implantation site was consistent with the preoperative design, and no related complications occurred. This double constrained split orthodontic miniscrew guide provides a precise and safe digital solution for clinical miniscrew implantation.

Objective: To evaluate the radiation dose, operational standardization, and image quality of computed tomography (CT) Ningbo City Medical Imaging Cloud Platform, so as to provide references for optimizing the quality of CT examinations. Methods: Six CT devices were randomly selected from the Ningbo City Medical Imaging Cloud Platform. Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) image data from CT examinations of the head, neck, chest, and abdomen in males aged 36 to 60 years were collected from January 2023 to December 2024. The radiation dose levels were evaluated using the volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP). The coefficient of variation (CV) of CTDIvol and scan length were calculated to assess scan stability. Operational standardization was evaluated using the redundancy rate of scan length and protocol matching degree. Imaging quality was assessed using the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR). Results: A total of 28 897 DICOM images were collected, including 6 730 axial scans of the skull, 2 778 plain scans of the neck, 15 496 plain scans of the chest, and 3 893 plain scans of the abdomen. The typical values of CTDIvol and DLP radiation doses for the head, neck, and chest were all lower than the diagnostic reference levels. The maximum typical values of CTDIvol and DLP for the abdomen were 22.49 mGy and 941.45 mGy·cm, respectively, which were higher than the diagnostic reference levels. The CV values of CTDIvol and scan length ranged from 14.59% to 37.88% and from 8.27% to 44.96%, respectively. The scan stability of head CT was relatively poor, with CV values ranging from 21.74% to 37.88% and from 12.66% to 44.96%, respectively. The redundancy rate of scan length ranged from 6.02% to 74.40%, and the protocol matching degree ranged from 79.80% to 100.00%. The operational standardization of neck CT was relatively poor, with redundancy rates ranging from 45.70% to 74.40% and protocol matching degrees ranging from 79.80% to 95.36%. The mean SNR and mean CNR of the pulmonary arteries in the chest were relatively high, ranging from 15.81 to 17.65 and from 6.33 to 7.41, respectively. Conclusions The radiation doses from abdominal CT examinations on some CT devices exceed the diagnostic reference levels. The scan stability of head CT examinations and the operational standardization of neck CT examinations represent weak points in quality control. It is recommended to carry out targeted quality control training to enhance the overall quality level of CT examinations.

Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is a common and lethal manifestation of advanced gastric cancer, with a median survival of only 5-11 months. This consensus was developed by 30 experts from Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore) using the Delphi method and the GRADE evidence grading system. A total of 29 statements were formulated, covering the diagnosis and assessment of GCPM, indications for laparoscopic exploration and NIPS (normothermic intraperitoneal and systemic treatment), treatment regimens, prevention and management of complications, criteria for conversion surgery, and postoperative intraperitoneal therapy. The consensus aims to standardize clinical practice and improve the prognosis of patients with GCPM.

AIM To study the effects of total flavonoids of Dracocephalum Moldavica L.(TFDM)on reducing the inflammatory response of RAW264.7 macrophages induced by ox-LDL via the nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor 3(NLRP3)signaling pathway.METHODS The RAW264.7 macrophages cultured in vitro were divided into the normal group,the model group(50 μg/mL ox-LDL),the TFDM group(100 μg/mL TFDM+50 μg/mL ox-LDL),the NF-κB inhibitor group(10 μmol/L Bay11-7821+50 μg/mL ox-LDL)and the TFDM+NF-κB inhibitor group(100 μg/mL TFDM+10 μmol/L Bay11-7821+50 μg/mL ox-LDL).The cells had their viability assessed by CCK-8 method;their ROS expression detected by the ROS kit;their mRNA expressions of NF-κB p65,NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-18 and IL-1β detected by RT-qPCR;their protein expressions of NF-κB p65,IκBα,NLRP3,pro-Caspase-1,Caspase-1,IL-18 and IL-1β by Western blot;their protein expressions of NF-κB p65 and NLRP3 detected using immunofluorescence method.RESULTS Compared with the normal group,the model group showed increased ROS expression(P＜0.01);increased mRNA expressions of NF-κB p65,NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-18 and IL-1β(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);decreased protein expressions of IκBα and cytoplasmic NF-κB p65(P＜0.01);increased protein expressions of nuclear NF-κB p65,NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-1 β and IL-18(P＜0.01);and increased fluorescence intensity of NF-κB p65 and NLRP3(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the groups intervened with either TFDM or TFDM+inhibitor displayed decreased ROS expression(P＜0.01);the groups administrated with TFDM or NF-κB inhibitor,or TFDM+inhibitor showed decreased mRNA expressions of NF-κB p65,NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-18 and IL-1β(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),increased protein expressions of IκBα and cytoplasmic NF-κB p65(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),decreased protein expressions of nuclear NF-κB p65,NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-1β and IL-18(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and decreased fluorescence intensity of NF-κB p65 and NLRP3(P＜0.01).There existed no significant group difference between the TFDM group and the NF-κB inhibitor group(P＞0.05).The TFDM+inhibitor group demonstrated decreased mRNA expressions of IL-1βand IL-18(P＜0.05),increased IκBα protein expression(P＜0.05),decreased protein expressions of nuclear NF-κB p65,NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-1 β and IL-18(P＜0.05),and decreased fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 protein(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION TFDM can inhibit the ox-LDL-induced inflammatory response of RAW264.7 macrophages,and the mechansism may be associated with the reduced ROS expression and inflammatory factors due to the inhibited activation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To observe the effect of sodium cantharidate assisted bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients.Methods:A total of 120 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma from January 2021 to December 2023 were divided into two groups,namely the experimental group and the matched group,each consisting of 60 cases.All patients were treated with AP(cisplatin+pemetrexed)chemotherapy,and bevacizumab(7.5 mg/kg)was administered intravenously at the same time as chemotherapy in the matched group,while sodium bengalate(0.5 mg)was added intravenously in the experimental group on the basis of the matched group,and the patients in the two groups were compared with each other in terms of the clinical efficacy of the two groups in a cycle of 21 d,and the changes in the indicators of the immune function,symptoms and scores of adverse reactions were also compared before and after the 4 consecutive cycles of treatment.After 4 consecutive cycles of treatment,we compared the clinical efficacy,immune function indexes,symptoms,and the incidence of adverse reactions.Results:There was no difference in disease control rate(P＞0.05),and the objective response rate was higher than the matched group(P＜0.05);Pretherapy,tthe levels of natural killer(NK)cells,CD4+/CD8+,immunoglobulin(Ig)G and IgA were different between the test and matched group(P＞0.05).Post-treatment,the levels of NK cells,CD4+/CD8+,IgG,and IgA in the experimental group increased,while there was no significant change in the matched group.The experimental group was higher than the matched group(P＜0.05);Pretherapy,there was no difference in VAS and BFI scores between the experimental group and the matched group(P＞0.05).Post-treatment,the scores of the Simplified Fatigue Scale(BFI)and Visual Analog Scale(VAS)in both groups decreased,and the experimental group was lower than the matched group(P＜0.05);The incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ gastrointestinal reactions,liver and kidney dysfunction,bone marrow suppression,leukopenia,and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ bone marrow suppression in the experimental group were all lower than those in the matched group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Sodium cantharidate assisted bevacizumab therapy has a significant effect on non-small cell lung cancer.Compared with single chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab,it can improve the objective remission rate of patients,improve their immune function level,alleviate pain and cancer-related fatigue symptoms,and assist in reducing the incidence of adverse reactions caused by bevacizumab and chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P＜0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P＞0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.

Objective:To explore the equity and driving path of primary healthcare human resource allocation across 31 provinces in China,providing references for optimizing such allocations.Methods:Using data from the 2022 primary healthcare human resources in 31 provinces in China,the Health Resource Density Index(HRDI)was used to measure the equity of primary healthcare human resource allocation.The fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis(fsQCA)was applied to construct configurational pathways influencing on allocation patterns.Results:In 2022,the HRDI for primary healthcare human resources in China was 2.349 0 in the East,1.198 6 in the Central region,and 0.775 2 in the West.Configurational analysis revealed three paths that promote high equity:the internal-external balance-driven model(H1),the government-led model(H2),and the economic-demand combined model(H3),with overall consistency and coverage of 0.955 and 0.794,respectively.Seven paths lead to low equity:internal-external constraint models(L1,L2),economic constraint models(L3),and demand constraint models(L4,L5,L6,L7),with overall consistency and coverage of 0.967 and 0.795,respectively.Conclusions:Significant regional disparities exist in the equity of primary healthcare human resource allocation in China.Population density is a critical factor influencing allocation equity.The collaboration of various factors contributes to enhancing the equity of primary healthcare human resources distribution.Therefore,future efforts to enhance equity should focus on promoting inter-regional mobility and resource sharing,while precisely addressing regional shortcomings to achieve high equity in primary healthcare human resource allocation.

Objective:To explore molecular mechanism of high-altitude hypoxia regulates PPAR signaling pathway induced ferroptosis in spleen.Methods:Hypoxia animal model was constructed,target genes were screened and predicted by combination of transcriptomics and protein omics.Key genes in PPAR and ferroptosis pathways under hypoxia exposure were explored by GO and KEGG enrichment analysis and verified by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Results:Combination of transcriptomics and protein omics showed that 95 predicted target genes(protein)showed significantly differential expression under hypoxic exposure.GO annotation analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that differential genes were mainly significantly enriched in PPAR and ferroptosis signaling pathways.A negative correlation was found between PPAR and ferroptosis signaling pathways,and GSEA showed that differential gene sets of PPAR and ferroptosis signaling pathways exhibited opposite expression trend in high-altitude hypoxia group.Validation of key genes PPARA,RXRB,APOA1 and SCD-1 in PPAR signaling pathway revealed that both mRNA and protein expres-sions were down-regulated under hypoxic exposure.Subsequently,differential expression was observed in mRNA and protein expres-sions of GPX4 in endogenous pathway and SLC7A11,TRP53 and TFRC in exogenous pathway in ferroptosis signaling pathway.Corre-lations between four key genes for ferroptosis and differential inflammation-associated genes(DE-IRGs)were positively or negatively.IL-1β,IL-6,IL-12,IL-18,IFN-γ and TNF-α expressions in spleen tissue were up-regulated under hypoxic exposure.Conclusion:High-altitude hypoxia exposure further induces ferroptosis through PPAR signaling pathway-mediated lipid metabolism disorders,and accompanied by occurrence of inflammatory response,which causes damage of spleen tissue.
