Objective: To explore the relationship between snack consumption and depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a basis for improving depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences. Methods: From October to December 2022,a cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 ethnic minority areas (Fugong County, Longling County, Longyang District, Luchun County, Mojiang County, Nanjian County, Qiaojia County, Shuangjiang County, Tengchong City, Yuanmou County, Zhenyuan County) in Yunnan Province for a questionnaire survey. The Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 was applied to assess depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students, and snack consumption was collected by employing food frequency questionnaire. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between first year junior high school students snack consumption and depressive symptoms, and the analysis was stratified according to left behind experience. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms among firstyear junior high school students with and without left behind experience were 36.25% and 26.91%, respectively. After controlling for confounding variables, the generalized linear model analysis showed that sweet snacks ( β=0.16, 95%CI =0.07-0.25), fast food ( β=0.14, 95%CI =0.04-0.23) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.09, 95%CI =0.01-0.17) of first year junior high school students with left behind experience (all P <0.05). Compared with those without such behavior, the risk of depressive symptoms was higher in consumption of fast food ( β=0.13, 95%CI =0.07-0.18) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.10, 95%CI =0.06-0.15)among first year junior high school students without left behind experience (both P <0.05). Conclusion Snack consumption among first year junior high school students in Yunnan may increase the risk of developing depressive symptoms, while first year junior high school students with left behind experience may have a greater risk of developing depressive symptoms.

Bronchiolar adenoma (BA) is a rare type of lung tumor characterized by bilayered epithelial cells having a continuous basal layer and a luminal layer. It resembles mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) on frozen section, with difficulty in distinguishing the basal layer. Immunohistochemistry is the best choice for verifying the diagnosis. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize three cases of BA-combined carcinoma using clinical, histopathological, and genetic features. BA and carcinoma sections were subjected to next-generation sequencing, respectively. It was hypothesized that while different mutation forms matched different regions, BA and lung adenocarcinoma shared the same gene mutation when they co-occurred in the same location. BA with extensive carcinoma is extremely rare and presents diagnostic challenges due to its overlap with conditions such as MA. Because of its distinctive morphological characteristics, BA may be regarded as a low-grade malignancy, particularly during a confusing evaluation. A multifaceted examination of clinical, radiological, immunohistochemical, and genetic data is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

Objective To compare the effects of desflurane inhalation anesthesia versus propofol total intravenous anesthesia on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing endoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma resection,and to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing anesthetic management in this surgical population.Methods This single-center,prospective,randomized controlled trial enrolled 112 patients scheduled for endoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma resection,who were randomly assigned to either the desflurane group(n=56)or the propofol group(n=56).The desflurane group received desflurane[0.7-1.0 minimum alveolar concentration(MAC)]combined with remifentanil for anesthesia maintenance,whereas the propofol group received propofol(4-6 mg·kg-1·h-1)with remifentanil.The primary outcome was defined as the time from discontinuation of anesthetics to achieving an Aldrete score of 9.Secondary outcomes included emergence time,extubation time,and incidences of postoperative agitation and vomiting.Results Patients receiving desflurane achieved an Aldrete score of 9 significantly faster than those in the propofol group(13.0 min vs 16.5 min,P=0.003).Similarly,both emergence time(14.0 min vs 16.5 min,P=0.009)and extubation time(13.0 min vs 16.5 min,P=0.003)were significantly shorter in the desflurane group.However,the desflurane group had higher incidences of postoperative agitation(17.9%vs 3.6%,P=0.015)and vomiting(19.6%vs 5.4%,P=0.022).No significant difference was observed in severe agitation rates or 24 h postoperative recovery quality[Quality of Recovery-15(QoR-15)scores]between groups.Conclusion Desflurane anesthesia significantly accelerates postoperative recovery in patients undergoing endoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma resection,however,it may increase risks of mild agitation and vomiting.In clinical applications,it is necessary to balance recovery benefits against potential adverse effects,and take targeted prophylactic measures.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of achyranthes bidentata(AB)on sperm quality in mice with sper-matogenic disorder through the glycolytic metabolic pathway and its action mechanism.Methods:We equally randomized 40 Kun-ming mice into a normal control,a model control,a low-dose AB(3.5 g/kg)and a high-dose AB group(7.0 g/kg),and established the model of spermatogenic disorder in the latter three groups of mice by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin(30 mg/kg).Two days after modeling,we collected the testis and kidney tissues and blood samples from the mice for observation of the pathological changes in the testis tissue by HE staining,detection of perm motility with the sperm quality analyzer,examination of the apoptosis of testis cells by flow cytometry,measurement of the levels of testosterone(T),malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and cata-lase(CAT)in the serum and testis tissue by ELISA,and determination of expressions of the key enzymes of glycolysis hexokinase Ⅱ(HK2),pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2),platelet phosphofructokinase(PFKP),lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA)and the meiosis pro-teins REC8 and SCP3 by Western blot,and the mRNA expressions of glycolytic phosphofructokinase 1(PFK1),phosphoglycerate ki-nase 1(PGK1),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)by fluorescence quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR).Results:Compared with the model controls,the mice in the AB groups showed significant increases in the testis coefficient,kidney in-dex,sperm concentration,sperm motility,spermatogonia,primary spermatocytes,spermatids,sperm count and the serum T level(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01),but dramatic decreases in the apoptosis of testis cells and percentage of morphologically abnormal sperm(P＜0.01).Achyranthes bidentata also significantly elevated the levels of SOD and CAT,and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of MDA,TNF-α and IL-1β(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and up-regulated the protein expressions of HK2,PKM2,PFKP,LDHA,REC8 and SCP3,and expressions of the glycolysis key genes Pfk1 and Pgk1(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01).Conclusion:Achyranthes bidentata ameliorates doxorubicin-induced spermatogenic disorder in mice by regulating the glycolytic pathway and reducing oxidative stress and the expressions of inflammatory factors.

Objective To explore the identification method,pathogenesis,clinical characteristics and individualized pharmacotherapy of asymptomatic hyperuricemia after renal transplantation.Methods The pharmacist was on duty at the organ transplant outpatient clinic.During this time,they analyzed and sorted out the medications,identified and differentiated a case of asymptomatic hyperuricemia related to spironolactone in a patient who had undergone a renal transplant,and provided comprehensive care throughout the entire process.Results The asymptomatic hyperuricemia in this patient might be associated with spironolactone,and the adverse reactions of the patient were alleviated by pharmacists through optimizing clinical treatment.Up to now,no hyperuricemia occurred.Conclusions Pharmacists are required to collaborate closely with clinicians to establish medication profiles for patients under long-term follow-up and to closely monitor and evaluate drug-related adverse reactions.Additionally,they should assess the renal function and immune status of transplant recipients promptly and formulate individualized treatment plans in order to enhance the long-term survival of both the transplanted kidneys and the recipients.

Objective:To investigate the disparities in breast cancer burden and changing epidemiological trends between China and the United States(US)from 1990 to 2021 and identify the key driving factors.Methods:The Global Burden of Disease database(1990-2021)was utilized to analyze breast cancer incidence,mortality,and disability adjusted life years(DALYs)in China and the US;we also assessed the as-sociations with risk factors(e.g.,obesity and smoking)through regression models and spatiotemporal analysis.Results:China's breast can-cer age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR)surged from 9.08/100,000 in 1990 to 19.36/100,000 in 2021,whereas the US ASIR declined from 44.37/100,000 to 37.49/100,000.Regarding the age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR),China saw a marginal reduction from 4.70/100,000 to 4.40/100,000,whereas the US experienced a significant decline from 13.03/100,000 to 9.28/100,000,narrowing the mortality gap from 2.8-fold to 2.1-fold.Key risk factors contributing to mortality and DALYs included smoking,exposure to secondhand smoke,low physical activity,high red meat and alcohol intake,elevated fasting blood glucose levels,and high body mass index.The rising cancer incidence in China is associated with the westernization of lifestyles and changes in fertility patterns,whereas the United States has achieved a dual de-cline in both incidence and mortality rates through widespread screening and control of hormone replacement therapy.Conclusions:Both the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer in China rank among the highest globally,with incidence rates still increasing,indicating severe issues in prevention and control.In contrast,although the incidence rate in the US is higher than that in China,it shows a declining trend.To alleviate the growing burden of breast cancer,China must further enhance the intensity and coverage of breast cancer screening.

Objective:To quantitatively evaluate the level of the three medical linkage in China from 2009 to 2022,explore the influencing factors and driving paths of the three medical linkage in China,and provide a new perspective for promoting the development of the three medical linkage.Methods:An optimized coupling coordination degree model was used to calculate the coupling coordination degree between the trinity healthcare systems and different binary systems within the systems in 31 provinces of China(excluding Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan),and the Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis method was used to explore the condition configurations of multi-factor-driven three medical linkage.Results:From 2009 to 2022,the coupling coordination degree between the trinity healthcare systems in each province of China generally showed an increasing trend year by year.Among the binary systems,the overall coordinated development situation between the medical and medical insurance systems was the best and the regional development was the most balanced.The coupling coordination degree gap between the trinity healthcare system and the internal binary systems among provinces gradually widened,and the multi-polarization trend intensified.The paths to promote high-level three medical linkage can be summarized into two types:internal and external balanced development type(H1)and government-led type(H2,H3),among which the H1 path with per capita GDP and health expenditure as core conditions was the most common.Conclusion:It is suggested to enhance institutional and technological innovation,and integrate resources through a cross-departmental collaboration mechanism and digital technology.Provinces should select high-level optimization paths by leveraging regional endowments to narrow the regional development gap.Meanwhile,under the impetus of high-level policies,the protection and supervision system continues to improve,thereby promoting the three medical linkage.

Objective To evaluate the consumption of opioid and postoperative analgesia of intercostal nerve block(ICNB)and paravertebral block(PVB)for autologuous rib cartilage graft for auricular reconstruction in children with microtia.Methods A total of 120 patients scheduled for autologuous rib cartilage graft for auricular reconstruction were enrolled.According to randomized blocks,patients were allocated into three groups(n=40 in each group):general anesthesia group(GA group),ultrasound-guided intercostal nerve block group(ICNB group)and ultrasound-guided PVB group(PVB group).GA group only received general anesthesia,while ICNB group and PVB group received single-shot nerve block with lidocaine after induction of general anesthesia.All groups were received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)for 48 hours postoperatively.Intraoperative opioid requirement was recorded.Heart rate(HR)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were recorded at different time points during surgery.Time of the first visual analogue scale(VAS)obtained and duration of postanesthesia care unit(PACU)stay were evaluated.The VAS scores of chest and ear during deep breath and at rest were recorded during 48 hours postoperatively.Opioid consumption and postoperative analgesia-related adverse events were compared among the three groups during 48 hours after surgery.Results Compared with those in GA group,intraoperative fentanyl consumption(P=0.02,P<0.01),time of the first VAS obtained(P<0.01,P=0.02),duration of PACU stay(P<0.01,P<0.01)and HR when harvesting the first rib cartilage(P=0.04,P<0.01)were statistically lower in ICNB group and PVB group than those in GA group,but no statistical difference was found between these two groups.There were no statistical differences in VAS scores,opioid consumption and analgesia-related adverse events among the three groups.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided single-shot ICNB and PVB with lidocaine provide similar efficacy of reducing intraoperative opioid consumption,maintaining intraoperative hemodynamic stability and faster awakening,but fail to alleviate postoperative pain.

Aim To explore the mechanism of action of Guizhi Jia Gegen decoction(GGD)in treating pneu-monia-enteritis induced by H1N1 influenza virus infec-tion in a mouse model,using network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques,followed by in vivo verification.Methods A pneumonia-enteritis mouse model was established,and the intervention effects of GGD on the model mice were evaluated using indica-tors such as body weight,rectal temperature,lung in-dex,colon length,H1N1 M gene expression,relative mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cytokines,and pathological sections of the lung and intestine.The targets of the blood-absorbed components of GGD were identified using the Swiss Target Prediction platform,and the disease targets were retrieved from the Gene-Cards platform.The intersecting targets were analyzed through PPI network analysis using the STRING data-base to identify core targets.GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed using the Metascape database.RT-qPCR was employed to vali-date the core targets and pathways.Molecular docking was conducted using AutoDock Tools software to verify the interactions between blood-absorbed components and key targets.Results GGD demonstrated signifi-cant therapeutic effects on the pneumonia-enteritis mouse model.The results of network pharmacology in-dicated that the therapeutic effects of GGD were strong-ly associated with targets such as TNF,ALB,PTGS2,MMP9,EGFR,ESR1,SRC,HSP90AA1,PPARG and MMP2.RT-qPCR results indicated that GGD could intervene in pneumonia-enteritis by regulating the targets TNF,ALB,EGFR and the related targets of the NF-κB pathway.Molecular docking results re-vealed that blood-absorbed components such as puerar-in and liquiritin could stably bind to TNF,ALB and EGFR.Conclusion Components such as puerarin and liquiritin in GGD may exert therapeutic effects on pneumonia-enteritis induced by H1N1 influenza virus infection by acting on targets such as TNF,ALB and EGFR.

BACKGROUND:Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a common spinal deformity that seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients.Modal analysis will focus on analyzing the natural vibration characteristics of the thoracic spine and its stability and response under the influence of external vibration.This analysis is expected to not only enhance the understanding of the thoracic curvature of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis,but also provide new perspectives and methods for developing new treatment strategies,designing personalized braces,and evaluating surgical outcomes.OBJECTIVE:To create a three-dimensional finite element model to evaluate the response modes of the entire thoracic spine and intervertebral discs in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients at different vibration frequencies,and determine the potential frequency range of injury risk.METHODS:This study was jointly conducted at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and the School of Mechanical Engineering at the Boda Campus of Xinjiang University from June 2023 to June 2024.The research subject was a patient with severe spinal and thoracic curvature.CT images were obtained using Siemens dual source spiral CT scanning,and a fine T1-T12 three-dimensional finite element model was established using software such as Mimics,Geomagic Studio,Solidworks,and Hypermesh.Abaqus software was used to perform modal analysis on the model and obtain the maximum amplitude and corresponding vibration modes of the first 12 modes of the entire thoracic spine and intervertebral disc.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The modal analysis results showed that the entire thoracic vertebrae and intervertebral discs mainly bent and twisted around the X and Y axes in the lower order modes,while increasing rotation around the Z axis in the higher order modes.(2)The T1-T3 and T6-T8 segments showed the most significant deformation and higher load burden,indicating that these regions played a crucial role in the development of scoliosis.(3)When the natural frequency was concentrated between 98.832 to 121.97 cycles/s for a long time,the vibration displacement of the entire thoracic vertebrae and intervertebral discs was large,which might lead to spinal injury.(4)Through finite element modal analysis,this study provides a scientific basis for understanding the response of the entire thoracic spine and intervertebral discs in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients under various vibration frequencies,thereby offering crucial insights into clinical treatment,prevention,and particularly,vibration-related protective strategies.Furthermore,by identifying the potential frequency range of injury risk,this study provides an important basis for developing vibration protection measures and optimizing spinal care strategies for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients.
