BackgroundNegative emotions are core predictors of adolescent mental health. While existing research has predominantly focused on the impact of risk factors such as negative life events and rumination on adolescents' emotions， the protective role of the family， particularly parental involvement， has received less attention. Consequently， the integrated mechanism connecting negative life events， rumination， parental involvement and negative emotions remains insufficiently clarified. ObjectiveTo elucidate the mechanisms linking negative life events to negative emotions in adolescents， and to verify the mediating role of rumination and the moderating role of parental involvement， so as to provide a theoretical basis for relevant prevention and intervention. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2025. A total of 600 adolescents from a middle school in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture， Sichuan Province， were recruited through cluster random sampling. Participants completed the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist （ASLEC）， the Rumination Response Scale （RRS）， parental involvement subscale of the Perception of Parents Scales （POPS）， and the Chinese short version of Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale （DASS-21）. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the correlations among all variables. Model 4 and model 7 embedded in Process macro 4.1 were employed to separately test the mediating effect of rumination between negative life events and negative emotions of adolescents， as well as the moderating effect of parental involvement. ResultsUltimately， 534 valid questionnaires were obtained， yielding a valid response rate of 89.00%. ASLEC score and RRS score were positively correlated with DASS-21 scores （r=0.580， 0.706， P<0.01）， and ASLEC score was also positively correlated with RRS score （r=0.583， P<0.01）. Rumination acted as a partial mediator between negative life events and negative emotions， with an indirect effect of 0.531 （95% CI： 0.438–0.630）， accounting for 55.60% of the total effect. Parental involvement significantly moderated the first stage of the mediating pathway （β=-0.109， P<0.05）. ConclusionIn adolescents， rumination serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between negative life events and negative emotions， and parental involvement further moderates the predictive relationship from negative life events to rumination.

Objective: To analyze the association between dietary diversity and cognitive function among the elderly using group-based trajectory model, so as to provide the basis for formulating dietary intervention strategies to prevent cognitive impairment. Methods: Based on the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) project, demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, psychological well-being, and activities of daily living of elderly individuals aged ≥65 years from 2008 to 2018 were collected. Dietary diversity was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire, with a score of <7 points defined as low dietary diversity. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). A group-based trajectory model was established based on cognitive function scores from 2008 to 2018 to analyze the trajectories of cognitive function change. The association between dietary diversity and cognitive function was analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 613 individuals were collected, with a median age was 72.00 (interquartile range, 10.00) years. There were 810 males (50.22%) and 803 females (49.78%). The group-based trajectory model analysis categorized the participants into three groups: the low-level normal group, the high-level normal group, and the slow-then-rapid decline group, comprising 796 (49.35%), 585 (36.27%), and 232 (14.38%) individuals, respectively. Among these groups, the numbers of individuals with low dietary diversity were 497 (62.44%), 311 (53.16%), and 166 (71.55%), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, psychological well-being, and activities of daily living, compared with the high-level normal group, low dietary diversity was statistically associated with cognitive function in the slow-then-rapid decline group (OR=1.622, 95%CI: 1.103-2.384). Conclusion Low dietary diversity may increase the risk of cognitive impairment among the elderly.

ObjectiveThis study leverages structural data from antigen-antibody complexes of the influenza A virus neuraminidase (NA) protein to investigate the spatial recognition relationship between the antigenic epitopes and antibody paratopes. MethodsStructural data on NA protein antigen-antibody complexes were comprehensively collected from the SAbDab database, and processed to obtain the amino acid sequences and spatial distribution information on antigenic epitopes and corresponding antibody paratopes. Statistical analysis was conducted on the antibody sequences, frequency of use of genes, amino acid preferences, and the lengths of complementarity determining regions (CDR). Epitope hotspots for antibody binding were analyzed, and the spatial structural similarity of antibody paratopes was calculated and subjected to clustering, which allowed for a comprehensively exploration of the spatial recognition relationship between antigenic epitopes and antibodies. The specificity of antibodies targeting different antigenic epitope clusters was further validated through bio-layer interferometry (BLI) experiments. ResultsThe collected data revealed that the antigen-antibody complex structure data of influenza A virus NA protein in SAbDab database were mainly from H3N2, H7N9 and H1N1 subtypes. The hotspot regions of antigen epitopes were primarily located around the catalytic active site. The antibodies used for structural analysis were primarily derived from human and murine sources. Among murine antibodies, the most frequently used V-J gene combination was IGHV1-12*01/IGHJ2*01, while for human antibodies, the most common combination was IGHV1-69*01/IGHJ6*01. There were significant differences in the lengths and usage preferences of heavy chain CDR amino acids between antibodies that bind within the catalytic active site and those that bind to regions outside the catalytic active site. The results revealed that structurally similar antibodies could recognize the same epitopes, indicating a specific spatial recognition between antibody and antigen epitopes. Structural overlap in the binding regions was observed for antibodies with similar paratope structures, and the competitive binding of these antibodies to the epitope was confirmed through BLI experiments. ConclusionThe antigen epitopes of NA protein mainly ditributed around the catalytic active site and its surrounding loops. Spatial complementarity and electrostatic interactions play crucial roles in the recognition and binding of antibodies to antigenic epitopes in the catalytic region. There existed a spatial recognition relationship between antigens and antibodies that was independent of the uniqueness of antibody sequences, which means that antibodies with different sequences could potentially form similar local spatial structures and recognize the same epitopes.

Introduction: Numerous novel systemic treatments have emerged for patients with primary metastatic prostate cancer (mPC), addressing both hormone-sensitive (mHSPC) and castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, limited understanding exists in integrating these therapies into clinical practice. This study provides an overview of mPC, presenting baseline disease characteristics, treatment profiles, and outcomes of mPC specifically in Sarawak. Materials and methods: Our study focused on registered male patients diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer at Sarawak General Hospital between 2016 and 2023, aged over 18. Surveys were carried out during routine clinical practice, covering patient demographics, clinical parameters, primary treatments, follow-up, and outcomes. The study described treatment patterns following diagnosis. Results: Demographic and tumor profiles of 212 patients with metastatic prostate cancer in Sarawak General Hospital from 2016- 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with mPC was notably prevalent among individuals of Chinese ethnicity, accounting for 43.4% of cases, with over 50% of patients presenting with high-volume disease irrespective of ethnicity. The primary treatment modality for the majority of mPC patients was androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone. Among the cohort, 19.3% (n=41) experienced disease progression to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) since 2016. Novel hormonal therapy (NHT) emerged as the predominant first-line treatment for mCRPC, administered to 53.7% of patients. Conclusion: The majority of prostate cancer patients in Sarawak are diagnosed in the metastatic stage and were of high volume at diagnosis. Aggressive treatment was initiated early in an attempt to improve treatment outcomes and overall survival.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy of conventional transforaminal endoscopic technique and I See transforaminal endoscopic technique in the treatment of recurrent L₅S₁ lumbar disc herniation with high iliac crest. METHODS: A total of 36 patients with recurrent L5S1 lumbar disc herniation with high iliac crest after posterior small-incision discectomy, admitted from May 2016 to May 2023, were selected. They were divided into the conventional transforaminal endoscopy group and the I See transforaminal endoscopy group according to the different transforaminal endoscopic techniques adopted, and all patients in both groups underwent lateral transforaminal spinal canal decompression and discectomy. There were 18 patients in the conventional transforaminal endoscopy group, including 11 males and 7 females, with an age of (52.24±6.68) years;the I See transforaminal endoscopy group also had 18 patients, including 12 males and 6 females, with an age of (50.75±7.79) years. The perioperative indicators (operation time, number of intraoperative radiographs, and length of hospital stay) were compared between two groups. The clinical efficacy was evaluated using the visual analogue scale(VAS) for pain, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA) low back pain score, and the modified MacNab criteria before and after surgery. RESULTS: All patients achieved gradeⅠincision healing, with no infection cases. The operation time of the I See group was (64.25±16.67) minutes, which was significantly shorter than that of the conventional transforaminal endoscopy group (89.11±17.24) minutes, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The number of intraoperative radiographs in the I See group was (5.20±2.29) times, which was significantly less than that in the conventional transforaminal endoscopy group(19.16±3.68) times, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The VAS and total JOA scores of both groups at the 3rd day, the 3rd month after surgery, and the last follow-up were significantly lower than those before surgery, with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);however, there were no statistically significant differences in VAS and total JOA scores between two groups at the 3rd day, the 3rd month after surgery, and the last follow-up (P>0.05). According to the modified MacNab criteria for efficacy evaluation:in the conventional transforaminal endoscopy group, 14 cases were excellent and 4 cases were good;in the I See transforaminal endoscopy group, 15 cases were excellent and 3 cases were good;there was no statistically significant difference in efficacy between two groups(Z=0.177, P=0.674). CONCLUSION Both transforaminal endoscopic techniques have good clinical effects in the treatment of recurrent L₅S₁ lumbar disc herniation with high iliac crest, resulting in significant improvement of postoperative symptoms, and they are safe, reliable, and minimally invasive surgical methods. Compared with the conventional transforaminal endoscopy, the I See transforaminal endoscopic technique has shorter operation time and fewer intraoperative radiographs, so it is generally the first choice.

Pyoderma gangrenosum(PG)is a rare autoinflammatory disease,characterized mainly by painful and necrotic skin ulcers.The etiology of PG is unknown,and its treatment is quite challenging.This article reports a case of recurrent pyoderma gangrenosum successfully treated with adalimumab combined with tofacitinib,along with a review of relevant literature.The patient,a 54-year-old male,presented with scrotal ulcers accompanied by pain for 20 days,worsening and involving the groin area for 5 days,and fever for 1 day.Dermatological examination revealed two painful ulcers on the scrotum with raised edges,clear boundaries,and a small amount of purulent discharge on the surface;the right groin area and the medial left thigh showed irregular infiltrative erythematous plaques,with scattered clustered pustules on them,central necrosis appearing purplish-brown,surrounded by a red halo with clear boundaries.Based on the patient's past medical history,clinical manifestations,and auxiliary examinations,the diagnosis was consistent with pyoderma gangrenosum.After treatment with adalimumab combined with tofacitinib,the patient's symptoms were significantly improved,and the ulcers healed.At the 6-month follow-up,the skin lesions had not recurred.For refractory PG that is ineffective to conventional treatments,adalimumab combined with tofacitinib is an effective and safe treatment option,providing a new combination therapy regimen for PG.

Progesterone receptor membrane component 1(PGRMC1)is closely related to hormone therapy which belongs to the membrane-associated progesterone receptor(MAPR)family.A large number of in vitro experiments,in vivo animal experiments,clinical samples of breast cancer patients and blood studies showed that all synthetic progesterone(excluding natural progesterone and dydrogesterone)can promote the rapid proliferation of breast cancer cells overexpressing PGRMC1.In patients with breast cancer,PGRMC1 is significantly negatively correlated with tumor grade and prognosis,and PGRMC1 level in blood is positively correlated with PGRMC1 expression in breast cancer tissues,and PGRMC1 is superior to traditional tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),carbohydrate antigen(CA125),and CA153 in predicting early breast cancer.Therefore,PGRMC1 may serve as a predictive marker for identifying an elevated risk of breast cancer associated with menopausal hormone replacement therapy.

Objective To explore the association between knee torsion and multiple bony abnormali-ties of the lower limb in patients with recurrent patellar dislocation(RPD).Methods The preoperative imaging data of RPD patients treated in our institution between May 2020 and October 2024 were col-lected retrospectively.A total of 238 patients were included in this study,with 83.6%being females.All patients underwent standard hip-knee-ankle CT scans,and lower limb bony structural parameters were reconstructed and measured using Mimics 20.0,focusing on variables such as knee torsion,femo-ral anteversion(FAA),femoral distal torsion angle(DFTA),supratrochlear spur,tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove distance(TT-TG),Caton-Deschamps index,and tibial torsion.Bony abnormalities were categorized based on previously established risk thresholds.Moreover,chi-square tests were em-ployed to compare the composition ratio differences between knee torsion and multiple lower limb osse-ous abnormalities.Results Among all affected knees,the proportion of excessive knee torsion was 33.6%,while in cases with osseous abnormalities,the value was over 40%.Compared with cases of low knee torsion,patients with excessive knee torsion showed significantly higher proportions of FAA(41.3%vs.27.2%,P=0.028),excessive DFTA(60%vs.32.9%,P<0.001),supratrochlear spur(55%vs.38.6%,P=0.016),trochlear dysplasia(93.8%vs.73.4%,P<0.001),excessive TT-TG(68.8%vs.43.7%,P<0.001),and patella alta(50%vs.22.2%,P<0.001).Additionally,95%of knees with excessive torsion exhibited two or more bony risk factors,whereas 55%had four or more bony structural abnormalities,which was significantly higher than those of low knee torsion(55%vs.21.5%,P<0.001).Conclusion In RPD patients,excessive knee torsion is associated with multiple low-er limb bony abnormalities.Moreover,patients with high knee torsion(>12°)are significantly more likely to have multiple bony abnormalities than those with low torsion.Therefore,in surgical decision-making for such patients,lower limb bony abnormalities should be assessed comprehensively.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of death globally. HCM can precipitate heart failure (HF) by causing the cardiac tissue to weaken and stretch, thereby impairing its pumping efficiency. Moreover, HCM increases the risk of atrial fibrillation, which in turn elevates the likelihood of thrombus formation and stroke. Given these significant clinical ramifications, research into the etiology and pathogenesis of HCM is intensifying at multiple levels. In this review, we discuss and synthesize the latest findings on HCM pathogenesis, drawing on key experimental studies conducted both in vitro and in vivo. We also offer our insights and perspectives on these mechanisms, while highlighting the limitations of current research. Advancing fundamental research in this area is essential for developing effective therapeutic interventions and enhancing the clinical management of HCM.
