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.

Objective To analyze the efficacy, safety, and learning curve of the three-lobe holmium laser enucleation of the prostate(HoLEP)in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)in a county-level hospital.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 65 BPH patients who underwent the three-lobe HoLEP performed by a single surgeon at the Department of Urology, Yining County People's Hospital, during Dec.2023 and Jun.2024.The enucleation efficiency was calculated by dividing the weight of the enucleated prostatic tissue by the enucleation time.A case scatter diagram of enucleation efficiency was plotted according to the chronological order of the operations, and the learning curve was analyzed after fitting.Based on the inflection points of the learning curve, the learning process was divided into the initial learning, mastery, and proficiency phases.The basic clinical data, perioperative indicators, postoperative complications, and follow-up indicators were compared among the different learning phases.Results All 65 procedures were successfully completed.Marked by the enucleation efficiency reaching a plateau, cases 1-20 were defined as the initial learning phase, cases 21-40 as the mastery phase, and cases 41 onwards as the proficiency phase.The prostate volume in the proficiency phase was significantly larger than that in the initial learning and mastery phases(both P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in other baseline characteristics among the three groups(all P＞0.05).The operation time [(105.50±19.12)min vs.(85.25±26.92)min vs.(69.00±23.58)min] and enucleation time [(76.90±14.19)min vs.(63.70±22.24)min vs.(48.80±20.48)min] showed a decreasing trend across the three groups(all P＜0.05).The enucleation efficiency in both the mastery and proficiency phases was significantly higher than that in the initial learning phase [(1.16±0.44)g/min vs.(0.85 ±0.25)g/min, P＜0.05;(1.36±0.49)g/min vs.(0.85±0.25)g/min, P＜0.05].The enucleation efficiency in the proficiency phase was slightly higher than that in the mastery phase, but the difference was not statistically significant(P= 0.389).There was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative complications among the three groups(all P＞0.05).At the 6-month follow-up, the international prostate symptom score(IPSS), post-void residual(PVR), and maximum urinary flow(Qmax)were significantly improved compared to preoperative values in all three groups(all P＜0.05);however, no significant differences were observed among the three groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusion The three-lobe HoLEP for the treatment of BPH is safe and effective in a county-level hospital setting.Surgeons with some experience in endoscopic surgery can preliminarily master this technique after a learning period of approximately 20 procedures.

BackgroundThe mental health issues of medical staff have received increasing attention. Previous studies have mainly focused on the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors， but there is a lack of sufficient understanding of the heterogeneity characteristics of the depression-anxiety symptoms network among medical staff. ObjectiveTo compare the differences in the depression-anxiety symptoms network between medical staff and community residents， so as to provide references for the promotion of the mental health of medical staff. MethodsFrom June 1， 2022 to December 31， 2024， a stratified random sampling method was used to recruit 1 959 medical staff from public hospitals and community health centers in 9 townships （industrial parks） of Dongguan City， Guangdong Province， as well as 2 412 community residents in this area， were selected as the research subjects. The general situation questionnaire， Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item （GAD-7） were used for investigation. The network visualization was conducted using the qgraph package of R 4.0.0. The centrality indicators of the network were calculated using the networktools package. The reliability of the network structure was evaluated using the bootnet package. The differences in the depression-anxiety symptoms network between medical staff and community residents were compared using the NetworkComparisionTest package. ResultsA total of 1 792 medical staff and 2 110 community residents completed the survey. The numbers of medical staff with mild， moderate and severe depressive symptoms were 381 （21.26%）， 217 （12.11%） and 169 （9.43%）， respectively， while the numbers of community residents were 322 （15.26%）， 98 （4.64%） and 66 （3.13%）， respectively. The numbers of medical staff with mild， moderate and severe anxiety symptoms were 411 （22.94%）， 126 （7.03%） and 93 （5.19%）， respectively， while the numbers of community residents were 320 （15.17%）， 73 （3.46%） and 18 （0.85%）， respectively. The comparison of the detection rates of depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms between the two groups showed statistically significant differences （χ²=152.012， 205.953， P<0.01）. The network analysis results showed that the core symptom clusters of medical staff were "uncontrollable worry" "psychomotor retardation" "inability to relax"， and "depression"， while those of community residents were "uncontrollable worry" "inability to relax" "inferiority complex"， and "depression". There was a statistically significant difference in the network structure between the two groups （M=0.275， P<0.05）， and the overall connection strength of medical staff was lower than that of community residents （7.523 vs. 7.950， S=0.426， P<0.05）. ConclusionThe detection rates of depression and anxiety symptoms among medical staff were higher than those among community residents. The depression-anxiety symptoms network of medical staff was more concentrated， and the core symptoms were more prominent.［Funded by Social Development and Technology Project of Dongguan City （number， 20221800902552）］

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of dual-task training (DTT) on mobility and balance in stroke patients. MethodsCNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) on DTT in stroke rehabilitation from inception to June, 2025. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the PEDro scale. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. ResultsA total of eleven RCT involving 517 stroke patients were included, and the scores of PEDro scale were four to eight. DTT was more effective on the score of Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremity (MD = 3.70, 95%CI 1.88 to 5.53, P < 0.001) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (MD = 3.04, 95%CI 1.58 to 4.49, P < 0.001), fall incidence (OR = 0.32, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.87, P = 0.025), gait speed under a single-task condition (MD = 0.08, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.12, P = 0.002), gait speed under a dual-task condition (MD = 0.13, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.16, P < 0.001), Timed Up and Go Test time (MD = -2.78, 95%CI -3.85 to -1.72, P < 0.001), and score of modified Barthel Index (MD = 4.77, 95%CI 1.88 to 7.66, P = 0.001). Subgroup analysis indicated that motor-motor DTT was more effective than cognitive-motor DTT on BBS scores and single-task gait speed. ConclusionsDTT can improve mobility and balance in stroke patients, especially with motor-motor tasks.

Objective To identify high-risk factors for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients in inten-sive care units(ICUs),and develop a quick response(QR)code-based APP prediction tool.Methods Information of inpatients in general ICUs of three hospitals in Guizhou Province from January to December 2024 were collected.Risk factors were analyzed with a logistic regression model.QR code-based APP was constructed and validated.Results A total of 1 782 patients in general ICUs of three hospitals in Guizhou Province in 2024 were included in the analysis,out of which 410 were HAI cases,and the incidence of HAI was 23.01％.Multivariate logistic regre-ssion analysis results of HAI in ICU inpatients showed that regional gross domestic product(GDP)≥58 685 Yuan,performing pathogen culture during this hospitalization,history of diabetes mellitus,history of cancer,length of hospital stay ≥7 days before infection,and duration of persistent fever＞5 days before infection were independent risk factors for HAI in ICU patients(all P＜0.05).The discrimination of the model(area under the receiver operating characteristic curve[AUC]of 0.841),calibration(Brier score of 0.129),and clinical effectiveness(net benefit of 11.4％when the risk threshold was 5％-74％)all performed well.Conclusion The QR code-based APP prediction tool is of great significance for scientific research transformation and precise HAI control.

Objective:To explore the effects of proton FLASH irradiation (FLASH-IR) and conventional irradiation (CONV-IR) on the cell cycle, apoptosis, and pyroptosis of renal cancer cells.Methods:Renal cancer cells (769-P) were irradiated with 8 Gy of protons at a dose rate of 40 Gy/s for FLASH-IR and 0.4 Gy/s for CONV-IR, Ctrl group was treated without irradiation. Cells were collected 24 h after irradiation. The changes in the cell cycle were measured using flow cytometry. The expression of genes and proteins related to the cell cycle, apoptosis, and pyroptosis signaling pathways in renal cancer cells was measured using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot.Results:Proton FLASH-IR increased the proportion of renal cancer cells in the G 0/G 1 phase [FLASH-IR group vs. Ctrl group, (67.01±0.44)% vs. (38.68±0.63)%, t = -63.99, P<0.05], while CONV-IR increased the proportion of renal cancer cells in the G 2/M phase [CONV-IR group vs. Ctrl group, (56.65±1.52)% vs. (23.67±0.51)%, t = -29.17, P<0.05]. Both proton FLASH-IR and CONV-IR caused apoptosis of renal cancer cells ( tFLASH= -16.24 to -5.01, P <0.05; tCONV=-20.08 to 6.11, P < 0.05) and CONV-IR activated the P53/P21 pathway ( t = -16.86 to -9.74, P < 0.05). Both proton FLASH-IR and CONV-IR induced pyroptosis of renal cancer cells ( tFLASH= -23.36 to 20.18, P <0.05; tCONV=-41.62 to 13.95, P <0.05), and the former exhibited a greater effect (FLASH-IR group vs. CONV-IR group, 0.96±0.01 vs. 0.68±0.44, t = -10.46, P <0.05). Conclusions:Both proton FLASH-IR and CONV-IR bring about changes in the cell cycle of renal cancer, promoting apoptosis and pyroptosis. However, there are differences between the two mechanisms that require further exploration. Proton FLASH-IR holds promise for the treatment of renal cancer.

Background and purpose:Internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy(IMSLNB)is a minimally invasive diagnostic technique for regional lymph nodes in breast cancer,which can provide accurate lymph staging and guide adjuvant treatment decision,but its clinical application has been controversial.The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognosis of IMSLNB in early breast cancer.Methods:In this study,a retrospective cohort of 7 949 patients with breast cancer from January 1,2016 to December 31,2021 was analyzed.After applying propensity score matching,the patients were divided into IMSLNB group and no-IMSLNB group,and the regional recurrence-free survival(RRFS),local recurrence-free survival(LRFS),distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS),disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)of the two groups were compared.This study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Shandong First Medical University(approval number:SDTHEC20130324).Results:A total of 990 patients were included in the final analysis(330 in the IMSLNB group and 660 in the no-IMSLNB group).IMSLN metastasis was found in 54 patients in the IMSLNB group,including 47 patients with axillary lymph node(ALN)metastasis and 7 patients with IMSLN metastasis only.The IMSLN transfer rate was 16.4%.The median follow-up of 41 months showed that the IMSLNB group demonstrated better 3-year DFS[98.4%vs 94.2%,hazard ratio(HR)=0.509;95%CI:0.312-0.828,P=0.007]and 5-year DFS(92.5%vs 87.3%,HR=0.214,95%CI:0.206-0.222,P=0.011)compared with no-IMSLNB group.However,no significant differences were observed in 3-year OS(99.1%vs 99.4%,HR=0.618,95%CI:0.231-1.655,P=0.338)or 5-year OS(98.5%vs 99.1%,HR=0.52,95%CI:0.51-0.53,P=0.392)between the two groups.The 3-year RRFS in the IMSLNB group was better compared with the no-IMSLNB group(99.09%vs 97.73%,HR=0.066;95%CI:0.061-0.071,P=0.048),while no significant differences were observed in 3-year LRFS(99.70%vs 98.19%,HR=0.209;95%CI:0.201-0.217,P=0.130)or DMFS(95.76%vs 96.06%,HR=0.865,95%CI:0.858-0.872,P=0.820)between the two groups.The exploratory subgroup analysis of DFS revealed that patients in the following subgroups could significantly benefit from IM-SLNB(P＜0.05):diagnosis age(≤50 years),premenopausal status,BMI(≤24),lymphovascular invasion(LVI,present),tumor location(lateral),molecular subtype[hormone receptor positive(HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative(HER2-)],histological type(invasive ductal carcinoma),and axillary lymph node status(positive).Conclusion:IMSLNB can provide more accurate regional lymph node staging for early breast cancer,help optimize adjuvant radiotherapy strategies,and improve patients'DFS and RRFS.It can be promoted as a minimally invasive staging technique for regional lymph nodes.
