Objective: To analyze the developmental trajectories of clustered health risk behaviors and their association with self-esteem and lonelinesss among junior high school students, so as to provide a reference for formulating comprehensive prevention and control measures of health risk behaviors among adolescents. Methods: In October 2023, 1 165 first year junior high school students from two schools of Jishou City in Hunan Province were selected by convenient sampling method for three follow up surveys (T1:October 2023; T2:April 2024; T3:October 2024). The Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self esteem Scale and Loneliness Scale were used to assess health risk behaviors, self esteem and loneliness, respectively. Latent growth curve modeling and latent growth mixture modeling were applied to analyze the developmental trajectories of clustered health risk behaviors among junior high school students. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association of the developmental trajectories of clustered health risk behaviors with self esteem and loneliness among junior high school students. Results: The overall developmental trajectories among junior high school students showed a declining trend (intercept=0.15, slope=-1.65, both P <0.05), with three heterogeneous categories:low risk improvement group ( n =862, 74.0%), moderate risk stable group ( n =260, 22.3%), and high risk deterioration group ( n =43, 3.7%). After adjusting the status of the left behind individuals，using the low risk improvement group as the reference category in multinomial Logistic regression analysis, results indicated that higher loneliness scores among junior high school students increased the risks of belonging to the moderate risk stable group ( OR=1.02, 95%CI =1.00- 1.04 ) and the high risk deterioration group ( OR=1.04, 95%CI =1.00-1.08), while higher self esteem scores reduced the risks of belonging to the moderate risk stable group ( OR=0.93, 95%CI =0.91-0.96) and the high risk deterioration group ( OR=0.88, 95%CI =0.83-0.94) (all P <0.05). Conclusions The overall trend of clustered health risk behaviors among junior high school students gradually improves, and the self esteem and loneliness are significant correlative factors. Targeted intervention measures should be developed for the junior high school students, with a focus on enhancing their self esteem and alleviating loneliness.

BackgroundSuicide among adolescents has become a serious public health issue， with suicidal ideation serving as a necessary precursor to suicide attempts and death. Previous research suggests that campus exclusion， depression， and psychological resilience are closely associated with the development of suicidal ideation in individuals. However， there is a lack of longitudinal research to deeply explore the relationship between each influencing factor and suicidal ideation. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of campus exclusion on suicidal ideation among adolescents， as well as the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of resilience， so as to provide references for formulating strategies for preventing and intervening in adolescent suicide. MethodsAUsing a longitudinal research design， in November 2023， 1 226 students from 21 classes （4 classes per grade in junior high school and 3 classes per grade in senior high school） from a junior high school and a senior high school in a certain area of Shandong Province were selected as the research subjects. The Ostracism Experience Scale for Adolescents （OES-A）， the Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， and the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents （RSCA） were used for assessment. The PHQ-9 suicide ideation item was evaluated again three months after the baseline survey （the two suicide ideation evaluations were respectively denoted as T1 and T2 respectively. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships among scale scores. Model 4 and model 59 in the SPSS macro program Process 4.2 were used to test the mediating effect of depression between school exclusion and suicide ideation， as well as the moderating effect of psychological resilience on the three paths. ResultsCorrelation analysis showed that OES-A score was positively correlated with PHQ-9 score and suicidal ideation item score （T2）， and PHQ-9 score was also positively correlated with suicidal ideation item score （T2） （r=0.361， 0.292， 0.508， P<0.01）. RSCA score was negatively correlated with OES-A， PHQ-9， and suicidal ideation （T2） scores （r=-0.500， -0.676， -0.459， P<0.01）. Campus exclusion positively predicted suicidal ideation （T2） and depression （β=0.081， 0.281， P<0.01）， while depression positively predicted suicidal ideation （T2） （β=0.108， P<0.01）. The mediation analysis revealed an effect size of 0.030 （95% CI： 0.019~0.043， P<0.01）， accounting for 37.35% of the total effect. Psychological resilience moderated the relationships between campus exclusion and depression， campus exclusion and suicidal ideation （T2）， and depression and suicidal ideation （T2） （β=-0.059， -0.049， -0.062， P<0.01）. ConclusionA moderated mediation model exists among campus exclusion， depression， resilience， and adolescent's suicidal ideation. Psychological resilience moderates the associations between campus exclusion， depression and suicidal ideation across all three paths. ［Funded by Beijing Municipal Health Commission Clinical Research Excellence Program， （number， BRWEP2024W072130101）；Beijing Municipal Hospital Management Center Summit Program， （number， DFL20221701）］

摘要 目的 肝豆状核变性（又称Wilson病，WD）是由ATP7B基因突变引起的铜代谢紊乱疾病，常累及肝脏和中枢神经系统，严重者可致死。目前关于WD患者死亡原因及危险因素的系统研究较少。本研究旨在探讨WD患者的常见死亡原因及其危险因素。方法 回顾性分析2011年1月—2022年1月间安徽中医药大学神经病学研究所附属医院87例死亡WD患者和113例存活WD患者的临床资料，分析死亡原因，并通过Cox回归分析死亡危险因素。结果 死亡组年龄中位数为32.00（27.00，41.00）岁、病程中位数为144.00（72.00，228.00）个月，存活组年龄中位数为31.00（25.00，37.00）岁、病程中位数为132.00（72.00，214.00）个月。主要死亡原因包括肝衰竭（33例）、感染（23例）、猝死（8例）、消化道出血（8例）及肝癌（4例）等。死亡组与存活组在性别、起病形式、低铜饮食、肝脏B超分型、脾脏切除、临床分型、治疗方案及多项实验室指标（如白细胞计数、TB、Alb等）上差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。多因素Cox回归显示，基线尿铜每增加100 μg/24 h（HR=1.22， 95%CI 1.11~1.34）与肝硬化（HR=2.55，95%CI 1.02~6.36）使死亡风险增加。结论 WD患者的主要死亡原因为肝衰竭，高水平基线尿铜和肝硬化显著增加死亡风险。尿铜水平达400 μg/24 h（参考值<100 μg/24 h）的患者死亡风险较基线增加3.8倍（HR=3.8，P<0.001）。研究结果为WD患者的预后评估和临床干预提供了重要依据。 Abstract Objective Hepatolenticular degeneration（also know as Wilson disease ，WD） is a copper metabolic disorder caused by ATP7B gene mutation， often involving the liver and the central nervous system and leading to death in severe cases. At present， there is a lack of systematic studies on the cause of death and related risk factors in WD patients. Therefore， this study aims to investigate the common causes of death and related risk factors in WD patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 87 WD patients who died and 113 WD patients who survived in our hospital from January 2011 to January 2022. The common causes of death in WD patients were analyzed， and the Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the risk factors for death. Results The death group had a median age of 32.00 （27.00，41.00） years and a median course of disease of 144.00 （72.00，228.00） months， and the survival group had a median age of 31.00 （25.00，37.00） years and a median course of disease of 132.00 （72.00，214.00） months. The main causes of death included liver failure （33 patients）， infection （23 patients）， sudden death （8 patients）， gastrointestinal bleeding （8 patients）， and liver cancer （4 patients）. There were significant differences between the death group and the survival group in sex， pattern of disease onset， low copper diet， liver ultrasound classification， splenectomy， clinical classification， treatment regimens， and various laboratory markers （such as white blood cell count， total bilirubin， and albumin）（P<0.05）. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of death was doubled for every 100 μg/24 h increase in urinary copper at baseline （HR=1.22，95%CI 1.11-1.34） and the presence of liver cirrhosis （HR=2.55，95%CI 1.02-6.36）. Conclusion Liver failure is the main cause of death in WD patients， and a high level of urinary copper at baseline and the presence of liver cirrhosis significantly increase the risk of death. The risk of death in patients with a urinary copper level of 400 μg/24 h （reference value<100 μg/24 h） was increased by 3.8 times compared with the value at baseline （HR=3.8，P<0.001）.The results of this study provide an important basis for the prognosis evaluation and clinical intervention of WD patients.

BACKGROUND:Exosomes can be detected in synovial fluid and plasma at levels that vary with the progression of osteoarthritis in patients with osteoarthritis,and may play a relieving role in the local inflammation of osteoarthritis,cartilage calcification,and osteoarthritic joint degradation. OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively understand the function and mechanism of exosomes from different stem cells in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis,and to present the prospects and challenges of exosome therapy for osteoarthritis. METHODS:We searched the articles published from October 2003 to October 2023 included in PubMed and CNKI databases with the keywords of"exosomes,osteoarthritis,mesenchymal stem cells,stem cells"in Chinese and English,respectively.A total of 99 articles were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The appearance of exosomes brings hope to the diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis.The differences of RNA,protein,and lipid content in exosomes can be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis.At the same time,exosomes from various stem cells can effectively protect chondrocytes,relieve inflammation,maintain cartilage matrix metabolism,and regulate angiogenesis and subchondral bone remodeling,showing excellent potential in the treatment of osteoarthritis.The engineered exosomes break through the traditional limitations and enhance the specificity and efficiency of treatment by modulating the expression of specific non-coding RNA,providing a new strategy for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

BACKGROUND:In the repair of large bone defects,a variety of factors such as seed cell passaging can cause senescence of osteoblasts,leading to a reduction in osteogenic differentiation activity after implantation of tissue-engineered bone.In recent years,a novel mechanism involving primary cilia in cell senescence has been widely studied,but the primary cilia-related mechanism of"passage senescence-reduced osteogenic activity"is not fully understood.OBJECTIVE:To explore the possible mechanisms by which primary cilia regulate the senescence of MC3T3-E1 cells.METHODS:The osteoblast precursor cell lines MC3T3-E1 were passaged to 10th generation cells(early passage)and 40th generation cells(late passage).siRNA was used to silence IFT88 to inhibit primary cilia formation.The cells were than grouped into passage 10 group,passage 40 group,passage 10+siRNA IFT88 group,and passage 40+siRNA IFT88 group.RT-PCR and western blot assays were used to detect the expression of the aging marker P16(CDKN2A),the osteogenic activity markers bone morphogenetic protein 2 and alkaline phosphatase,and the Hedgehog pathway IHH expression.Alizarin red staining and primary cilia immunofluorescence staining were performed.Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to analyze primary cilia positive rate and IHH and bone morphogenetic protein 2 expression.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The expression of CDKN2A(P16)in the passage 10 group was significantly higher than in the passage 40 group,but the difference disappeared after siRNA IFT88 intervention.(2)Meanwhile,the positive rate of primary cilia cells in the passage 10 group were higher than in the passage 40 group,while siRNA IFT88-significantly inhibited the expression of primary cilia in both passage 10 and passage 40 cells.(3)The transcriptional activity and protein expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and alkaline phosphatase in the passage 10 group were higher than those in the passage 40 group.After inhibiting the expression of primary cilia with siRNA,the above differences were reduced or disappeared.(4)The positive rate of primary cilia cells was correlated with IHH and bone morphogenetic protein 2 protein expression.To conclude,primary cilia mediate the replicative senescence of osteogenic MC3T3-E1 cells and regulate osteogenic differentiation ability.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of modified associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) in the treatment of patients with primary liver cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 83 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing hemihepatectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Tumor Surgery of Gansu Provincial Cancer Hospital between January 2022 and November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 53 males and 30 females, aged (54.0±6.5) years. According to the treatment protocol, patients were divided into the control group ( n=41), in which patients underwent traditional ALPPS, and the observation group ( n=42), in which patients underwent modified ALPPS (occlusion of portal venous branch using vascular clips, combined with radiofrequency ablation for physical separation of the diseased lobe, without liver mobilization). The completion rate of staged surgery, interval between surgeries, future liver remnant (FLR) growth rate at 7 days after first-stage surgery, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels at 5 days after fisrt-stage surgery, and postoperative complications (ascites, nausea, and vomiting, etc.) were compared between the groups. Results:The completion rate of staged surgery was 95.2% (40/42) in the observation group and 90.2% (37/41) in the control group ( χ2=0.62, P=0.431). The ALT and AST levels at 5 days after first-stage surgery were (550.4±86.0) U/L and (327.1±52.8) U/L in the observation group, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (861.6±106.3) U/L and (533.8±73.7) U/L, respectively ( t=13.13 and P<0.001, t=12.93 and P<0.001). The FLR growth rate were higher in the observation group than that in the control group [(80.4±10.3)% vs (49.3±5.7)%; t=13.13, P<0.001] and the interval between procedures were also shorter in the observation group (10.9±2.1 vs 22.4±4.8, d; t=9.65, P<0.001). The intraoperative blood loss of the first-stage surgery was lower in the observation group than that in the control group (350.5±45.2 vs 825.5±21.7, ml; t=21.43, P<0.001). The total complication rates after the first-stage surgery were 11.9% (5/42) in the observation group and 19.5% (8/41) in the control group, while after the second-stage surgery, the complication rates were 7.5% (3/40) and 18.9% (7/37), respectively, with no statistically significant differences ( χ2=0.65 and P=0.419, χ2=1.81 and 0.177, respectively). Conclusion:The modified ALPPS offers better postoperative liver function, reduced surgical trauma, accelerated FLR growth, and a shorter interval between procedures, demonstrating a favorable safety in the treatment of primary liver cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of osthole(Ost)on neuroinflammation in IS rats by regulating the HMGB1-RAGE signaling pathway.Methods After rat IS model was established with middle cerebral artery occlusion by intraluminal suture,40 model rats were grouped into model group,low-and high-dose Ost(Ost-L and Ost-H)groups,and Ost-H+recombinant rHMGB1(Ost-H+rHMGB1)group,with 10 rats in each groups.Another 10 rats served as sham operation group.Zea-Longa scoring was used to evaluate the neurological function.Serum nerve growth factor(NGF)and LDH levels,and hippocampal TNF-α,IL-10,and IL-1β contents were detected by ELISA.Triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining,Nissl staining,and TUNEL staining were applied respectively to observe the volume of cerebral infarction,hippocampal morphology,and apoptosis in hippocampal tissue cells.The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)in the hip-pocampus was detected by hydroxylamine assay,and that of catalases(CAT)was by ammonium molybdate.The content of malonic dialdehyde(MDA)was determined by thiobarbituric acid method.Western blotting was used to measure the protein expression of cleaved Caspase-3,HMGB1,RAGE,NF-κB,and p-NF-κB in brain tissue.Results The model group showed obvious damage in the hippocampal tissues,higher neurological function score,increased stroke volume percentage,serum LDH level and hippocampal TNF-α and IL-1βlevels,elevated neuronal apoptot-ic rate and MDA content,and up-regulation of cleaved Caspase-3,HMGB1,RAGE,and p-NF-κB/NF-κB proteins,while decreased serum NGF level,hippocampal IL-10 content and SOD and CAT activities when compared with the sham group(P＜0.05).Low-and high-dose Ost treatment re-sulted in obviously declined damage in the hippocampal tissue,decreased neurological function score,lower stroke volume percentage,reduced serum LDH level and hippocampal tissue TNF-αand IL-1β contents,lower neuronal apoptotic rate and MDA content,and down-regulated cleaved Caspase-3,HMGB1,RAGE,and p-NF-κB/NF-κB protein,while raised serum NGF level,hipp-ocampal IL-10 content and SOD and CAT activities when compared with the model group(265.84±34.76 pg/ml and 394.52±41.68 pg/ml vs 187.56±23.54 pg/ml,P＜0.05;41.84±5.67 pg/ml and 68.57±8.39 pg/ml vs 16.73±3.52 pg/ml,P＜0.05;87.49±12.53 U/mg and 109.86±14.67 U/mg vs 52.73±8.46 U/mg,P＜0.05;45.38±5.72 U/mg and 67.43±8.91 U/mg vs 21.54±3.47 U/mg,P＜0.05).rHMGB1 could alleviate the improvement effect of Ost on nerve damage in IS rats.Conclusion Ost can attenuate neuroinflammation,oxidative stress,and neuronal apoptosis in IS rats,which may be through its inhibiting the HMGB1-RAGE signaling pathway.

[Purpose]To analyze the trends of cervical cancer incidence in Qidong City of Jiangsu Province from 1977 to 2021.[Methods]Based on the cervical cancer registration database in Qi-dong City from 1977 to 2021,the crude incidence rate,the age-standardized rate by the standard Chinese standard population and the world standard population(ASRC and ASRW),the truncated rate of 35～64 years old,the cumulative rate of 0～74 years old,and the cumulative risk were cal-culated;the incidence rates of birth cohorts were analyzed.Joinpoint regression analysis was per-formed with Joinpoint 4.9.0.0 software to calculate the annual percentage change(APC)and the average annual percentage change(AAPC)of cervical cancer incidence.[Results]A total of 2 253 new cases of cervical cancer registered in Qidong City from 1977 to 2021,accounting for 1.62％of the total case numbers of cancer in the whole population,and for 4.03％of the total number of cancers in women.The crude incidence rate was 8.75/105,the ASRC was 4.54/105,the ASRW was 6.01/105,the truncated rate(35～64 years old)was 15.09/105,the cumulative rate(0～74 years old)was 0.63％,and the cumulative risk was 0.63％.The incidence of cervical cancer increased with age from 1977 to 2021.The average incident age was 55.36 years old,with the lowest age of 47.51 years old in 2010.Secular trend analysis showed that the AAPC of the crude incidence of cervical cancer was 6.010％(95％CI:4.951％～7.081％)(P＜0.001),among which the trend decreased from 1977 to 1999,with an APC of-2.507％;and then the trend increased from 1999 to 2017,with an APC of 14.436％(P＜0.001).The rising and falling trend curves of the AS-RC and ASRW were similar to that of the crude incidence.The age group and time period analysis showed that the peak incidence was in the older age groups before 2006,while the peak inci-dence appeared in the age groups of 45～54 years old from 2007 to 2021.The AAPCs in age groups of 25～64 years old demonstrated upward trends(all P＜0.05).The birth cohort analysis showed that the cervical cancer incidence in the 1937-1941 birth cohort was the lowest,and the birth cohort-specific rates in all age groups showed"V-shape"trends.[Conclusion]Long-term monitoring of cervical cancer incidence in Qidong has shown a trend of initially slow decline fol-lowed by a rapid increase,with the peak incident shifting towards younger ages.The rising trends of cervical cancer incidence in last two decades may be associated with the increased HPV infection,suggesting that measures to reduce HPV infection and enhance vaccination should be strengthened.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the relationship between the postoperative intervertebral space infection and the expressions of β-catenin and glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β)in the patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH).METHODS A total of 201 patients with LDH who received surgical procedures in Harbin Orthopedics and Traumatology Hospital from Jan.2022 to May 2024 were enrolled in the study and were divided into the infection group and the no infection group according to the status of postoperative intervertebral space infection.The distri-bution and drug resistance of pathogens isolated from the patients of the infection group were detected.The rela-tive expression levels of peripheral blood Wnt,β-catenin and GSK-3β proteins were compared between the two groups.RESULTS Among the 201 patients who received surgical procedures,21 had postoperative intervertebral space infections,with the infection rate 10.45％.Totally 26 strains of pathogens were isolated from the 21 patients in the infection group,11(42.31％)of which were gram-negative bacteria,and 15(57.69％)were gram-positive bacteria.The operation duration of the infection group was(3.46±0.89)hour,longer than(3.09±0.73)hour of the no infection group(t=2.146,P=0.033).There were significant differences in the expressions of peripheral blood β-catenin and GSK-3β proteins between the infection group and the no infection group(P＜0.05).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves(AUCs)of the relative ex-pression levels of β-catenin and GSK-3β were 0.836 and 0.800,respectively;the sensitivities were 52.40％and 66.70％,respectively;the specificities were 90.56％and 93.89％,respectively;the cut-off point were 5.65 and 2.15,respectively.CONCLUSIONS The LDH patients are at high risk of postoperative intervertebral space infec-tion,the patients with the infection show the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways and the rise of ex-pression levels of β-catenin and GSK-3β proteins.The levels of the indexes may facilitate the prediction of postop-erative intervertebral space infection in the LDH patients.

One-step nucleic acid amplification(OSNA)technology is a molecular diagnostic technology that assesses the metastatic status of lymph nodes by detecting the expression level of cytokeratin 19 mRNA in sentinel lymph nodes(SLNs).It is characterized by its rapidity,ac-curacy,semi-quantitative nature,and high reproducibility,thereby providing comprehensive lymph node diagnostic information for clinical physicians.It is of great significance regarding avoiding secondary axillary lymph node dissection(ALND)or excessive ALND.The de-escala-tion treatment pattern for breast cancer is the current therapeutic strategy pursued by surgeons.SLN biopsy(SLNB)can help patients re-ceive more precise and personalized treatment,thereby reducing unnecessary treatment intensity and side effects while ensuring thera-peutic efficacy.This article reviews the application of OSNA detection in SLNB.
