BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behavior among adolescents has become a global public health concern. Anxiety and depression are considered key factors influencing NSSI behavior， while social support may play a protective role in alleviating emotional and behavioral issues. However， existing research has primarily focused on the direct impact of individual factors on NSSI behavior， with insufficient exploration of the combined effects of anxiety， depression and social support. ObjectiveTo investigate the direct effect of anxiety on NSSI， the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of social support in relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior， thus to provide references for the prevention and intervention of NSSI behavior among adolescents. MethodsIn February 2022， a total of 40 820 students in grades 7 to 12 across 10 middle schools in a district of Chengdu were selected as participants， and they were assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item （GAD-7）， Patient's Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， Social Support Scale for Urban Students （SSSUS） and Adolescent Self-Harm Scale （ASHS）. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations between scale scores among adolescents with NSSI behaviors. Mediation and moderation analyses were performed using Process 3.5 in SPSS， and the significance was tested with bootstrapping. The interaction was visualized by using simple slope analysis. ResultsAmong 34 534 （84.60%） valid respondents， 542 adolescents （1.57%） reported engaging in NSSI behavior. Significant differences in gender， GAD-7 scores， PHQ-9 scores， and SSSUS scores were observed between NSSI behavior group and non-NSSI group （χ²/t=62.889， 71.120， 94.365， -41.464， P<0.01）.Adolesents with NSSI showed positive correlations between GAD-7 scores and both ASHS and PHQ-9 scores （r=0.158， 0.166， P<0.01）. PHQ-9 scores were positively correlated with ASHS scores （r=0.364， P<0.01）， but negatively correlated with SSSUS scores （r=-0.290， P<0.01）. SSSUS scores were negatively correlated with ASHS scores （r=-0.247， P<0.01）. Depression partially mediated the relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior， with an effect size of 0.544 （95% CI： 0.162~0.944）， accounting for 35.79% of the total effect. Social support moderated the relationship between depression and NSSI bahavior， with an effect value of -0.082 （95% CI： -0.135~-0.029）. ConclusionAnxiety not only directly influences NSSI bahavior among adolescents， also indirectly exacerbates it through depression， while social support mitigates the impact of depression on NSSI behavior. ［Funded by Youth Project of National Natural Science Foundation of China （number， 82401812）； Project of Health Commission of Sichuan Province （number， 24LCYJPT18）］

This article summarizes Academician WANG Yongyan′s experience in the differentiation and treatment of motor neuron disease, which can be categorized into flaccidity syndrome, convulsive syndrome, and fei syndrome according to the clinical manifestations. These three syndromes may coexist, and the condition progressively worsens over time, which is believed to be caused by external pathogenic qi, based on "deficient-qi induced stagnation" , and with "toxins damaging collaterals" as the core etiology and pathogenesis. "Toxins damaging collaterals" involves three levels of qi collaterals, blood collaterals, and fluid collaterals, gradually overlapping and affecting the marrow collaterals. Academician WANG Yongyan′s theory is based on syndrome differentiation, breaking down the boundaries of flaccidity, convulsive, and fei syndromes according to different manifestations of the disease, and using the concept of "combined treatment" for treatment. The clinical presentation of motor neuron disease shows a bottom-up trend in the development of the sanjiao, and the combination of visceral syndrome differentiation and sanjiao syndrome differentiation can grasp the progress of the disease comprehensively. During the process of syndrome differentiation, the focus is on the use of xiang thinking, emphasizing the holistic correlation between diseases and syndromes and the integrated effect of reductionist analysis. Treatment is based on xiang differentiation and individualized treatment. The mid-stage of motor neuron disease is the key time point for the treatment of this disease. Based on the clinical symptoms of flaccidity, convulsive, and fei syndromes, where treatment should focus on reinforcing the spleen and kidney, combining moxibustion with herbal medicine. While targeting the disease, treatment should comprehensively apply the methods of "promoting, supplementing, softening, and warming" to eliminate toxins and unblock collaterals, and restore the neural regulation of the brain and spinal cord.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for rebleeding after endoscopic therapy and the effect of the number of sequential treatment sessions on postoperative rebleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis receiving secondary prevention of gastroesophageal varices （GOV）. MethodsA total of 1 717 patients with liver cirrhosis who received secondary prevention of GOV and attended The 960th Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistice Support Force from January 2017 to December 2021 were enrolled， and according to the presence or absence of bleeding after endoscopic therapy， they were divided into non-bleeding group and rebleeding group. The influencing factors for rebleeding were analyzed， as well as the association between the number of endoscopic treatment sessions and rebleeding. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups； the independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between the two groups； the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison bertween multiple groups， and the Wilcoxon test was used for further comparison between two groups. The Cox regression model was used to investigate the influencing factors for rebleeding， and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves， while the Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. ResultsOf all patients， 286 （16.7%） experienced rebleeding after endoscopic therapy， and 1 431 （83.3%） did not experience bleeding. There were significant differences between the two groups in history of smoking and drinking， etiology of liver cirrhosis， hemoglobin （Hb）， prothrombin time （PT）， prothrombin activity （PTA）， international normalized ratio （INR）， albumin （Alb）， fasting blood glucose， blood urea nitrogen， Child-Pugh class， aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index （APRI） score， albumin-bilirubin （ALBI） score， use of non-selective beta-blocker （NSBB） before surgery， treatment modality， type of varices， and maximal varicose vein diameter （all P<0.05）. The univariate Cox regression analysis showed that in the patients with liver cirrhosis who received secondary prevention of GOV， rebleeding was associated with history of smoking and drinking， etiology of liver cirrhosis， use of NSBB before surgery， treatment modality， maximal varicose vein diameter， Hb， platelet count， PT， PTA， INR， Alb， total bilirubin （TBil）， alkaline phosphatase （ALP）， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase， blood glucose， Child-Pugh class， and ALBI score （all P<0.05）. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that Hb （hazard ratio ［HR］=0.989， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.983‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.994， P<0.001）， TBil （HR=1.020， 95%CI： 1.006‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.034， P=0.005）， Alb （HR=0.868， 95%CI： 0.758‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.994， P=0.041）， treatment modality （sclerosing agent： HR=2.158， 95%CI： 1.342‍ ‍—‍ ‍3.470， P=0.002； tissue adhesive： HR=2.709， 95%CI： 1.343‍ ‍—‍ ‍5.462， P=0.005； ligation+sclerosing agent： HR=3.181， 95%CI： 1.522‍ ‍—‍ ‍6.645， P=0.002； sclerosing agent+tissue adhesive： HR=1.851， 95%CI： 1.100‍ ‍—‍ ‍3.113， P=0.020）， ALP （HR=1.003， 95%CI： 1.001‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.004， P=0.002）， and maximal varicose vein diameter （HR=1.346， 95%CI： 1.119‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.618， P=0.002） were independent influencing factors for rebleeding after endoscopic therapy. Comparison of rebleeding rate after different numbers of sequential treatment sessions showed that the patients treated for three sessions had a significantly lower rebleeding rate than those treated for one or two sessions （χ²=8.643 and 5.277， P=0.003 and 0.022）. The survival analysis showed that with the increase in the number of treatment sessions， there was a significantly longer interval between rebleeding （P=0.006） and a significantly lower mortality rate （P<0.001）. ConclusionThe levels of TBil， ALP， Hb， and Alb on admission， endoscopic treatment modality， and maximal varicose vein diameter were the main predictive factors for rebleeding after endoscopic therapy for GOV in liver cirrhosis， and such predictive factors should be closely monitored in clinical practice. Regular endoscopic therapy can reduce the rebleeding and mortality rates of patients with liver cirrhosis and GOV and prolonmg the interval between rebleeding.

Objective:To assess the rationality of the maximum lesion diameter of 15 mm in prostate imaging reporting and data system(PI-RADS)as a criterion for upgrading a lesion from category 4 to 5 and improve it to enhance the prediction of clinically significant prostate cancer(csPCa).Methods:In this study,the patients who underwent prostate magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and prostate biopsy at Peking University First Hospital from 2019 to 2022 as a development cohort,and the patients in 2023 as a validation cohort were reviewed.The localization and maximum diameter of the lesion were fully evalua-ted.The area under the curve(AUC)and the cut-off value of the maximum diameter of the lesion to pre-dict the detection of csPCa were calculated from the receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve.Confounding factors were reduced by propensity score matching(PSM).Diagnostic efficacy was com-pared in the validation cohort.Results:Of the 589 patients in the development cohort,358(60.8％)lesions were located in the peripheral zone and 231(39.2％)were located in the transition zone,and 496(84.2％)patients detected csPCa.The median diameter of the lesions in the peripheral zone was smaller than that in the transition zone(14 mm vs.19 mm,P＜0.001).In the ROC analysis of the maximal diameter on the csPCa prediction,there was no statistically significant difference between the peri-pheral zone(AUC=0.709)and the transition zone(AUC=0.673,P=0.585),and the cut-off values were calculated to be 11.5 mm for the peripheral zone and 16.5 mm for the migrating zone.By calcula-ting the Youden index for the cut-off values in the validation cohort,we found that the categorisation by lesion location led to better predictive results.Finally,the net reclassification index(NRI)was 0.170.Conclusion:15 mm as a criterion for upgrading the PI-RADS score from 4 to 5 is reasonable but too general.The cut-off value for peripheral zone lesions is smaller than that in transitional zone.In the future consideration could be given to setting separate cut-off values for lesions in different locations.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of targeted biopsy combined with regional systematic biopsy in prostate cancer(PCa)in patients with prostate imaging reporting and data system v2.1(PI-RADS v2.1)4-5.Methods:From January 2023 to October 2023,patients who underwent prostate biopsy for the first time with total prostate specific antigen(tPSA)≤20 ng/mL and had a multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging(mpMRI)PI-RADS of 4-5 in Peking University First Hospital were prospectively collected.All the patients underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided cognitive fusion tar-geted biopsy(3 cores)followed by systematic biopsy(12 cores).Various hypothetical biopsy schemes were defined based on different biopsy sites.The detection effectiveness of targeted biopsy combined with regional systematic biopsy and other biopsy schemes for prostate cancer were compared using Cochran's Q and McNemar tests.Results:A total of 255 patients were enrolled,of whom 204(80.0％)were de-tected with prostate adenocarcinoma and 187(73.3％)were clinically significant with prostate cancer(csPCa).The detection rate of PCa with targeted biopsy was significantly lower than that of targeted biopsy combined with 12-core system biopsy(77.3％vs.80.0％,P=0.016),and 71.4％(5/7)of the missed patients was csPCa.There was no significant difference in the detection rate between targeted biopsy combined with 4-core regional system biopsy and 12-core system biopsy(P＞0.999),and 1 case of csPCa and clinically insignificant prostate cancer(cisPCa)were missed.There was no significant difference in the detection rate of PCa between targeted combined regional system biopsy and targeted combined lateral or traditional 6-core system biopsy and the number of cores were reduced.Missed diag-nosis of targeted biopsy was correlated with the maximum diameter of the lesion(OR=0.086,95％CI:0.013-0.562,P=0.010).For the patients with PI-RADS 5,only 1 case of PCa was missed in 122 cases by targeted biopsy alone.For patients with PI-RADS 4,6 PCa cases were missed among the 133 patients with targeted biopsy alone,and 1 case of csPCa and cisPCa were missed by targeted biopsy com-bined with regional system biopsy.The statistics of positive core counts for different biopsy schemes indi-cated that targeted combined regional systematic biopsy had a higher proportion of positive cores second only to targeted biopsy alone.Conclusion:Targeted biopsy combined with regional systematic biopsy has high diagnostic efficacy in patients with PI-RADS 4-5 and can be considered as one of the improved schemes for combined biopsy.Targeted biopsy alone is also a feasible option for patients for patients with a PI-RADS score of 5.

Recently, small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) have transcended the genomic "noise" to emerge as pivotal molecular markers due to their essential roles in tumor progression. Substantial evidence indicates a strong association between snoRNAs and critical clinical features such as tumor pathology and drug resistance. Historically, snoRNA research has concentrated on two classical mechanisms: 2'-O-ribose methylation and pseudouridylation. This review specifically summarizes the novel regulatory mechanisms and functional patterns of snoRNAs in tumors, encompassing transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational regulation. We further discuss the synergistic effect between snoRNA host genes (SNHGs) and snoRNAs in tumor progression. More importantly, snoRNAs extensively contribute to the development of tumor cell resistance as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Accordingly, we provide a comprehensive review of the clinical diagnosis and treatment associated with snoRNAs and explore their significant potential as novel drug targets.

Helminth infections may trigger host innate and adaptive immune responses. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are an important factor involved in type 2 immune responses, and produce a large number of T helper 2 cell (Th2) cytokines following stimulation by interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), which play a critical role in parasite clearance and tissue repair. Following helminth infections, autocrine factors, mast cells, enteric nervous system and Th2 cells have been recently found to be involved in regulation of ILC2. Unraveling the role of ILC2 in immune response against helminth infections is of great value for basic research and drug development. This review summarizes the research progress on ILC2 and its role in helminth infections.

Objective:To investigate and compare the regulatory effects of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and their conditioned medium (MSC-CM) on gut microbiota of septic mice.Methods:Twenty-eight six-to-eight-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham group), sepsis model group (CLP group), sepsis+MSC treatment group (CLP+MSC group) and sepsis+MSC-CM treatment group (CLP+MSC-CM group), with seven mice in each group. The septic mouse model was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). In Sham group, CLP were not performed, and other operations were the same as CLP group. Mice in the CLP+MSC group and CLP+MSC-CM group received 0.2 mL 1×10 6 MSC or 0.2 mL concentrated MSC-CM via intraperitoneal injection 6 hours after CLP, respectively. Sham group and CLP group were given 0.2 mL sterile phosphate buffer saline (PBS) via intraperitoneal injection. Histopathological changes were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and colon length. Levels of inflammatory factors in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Phenotype of peritoneal macrophages was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the gut microbiota was analyzed via 16S rRNA sequencing. Results:Compared with Sham group, significant inflammatory injury in lung and colon was observed, and shorter colon was detected in CLP group (cm: 6.00±0.26 vs. 7.11±0.09), the level of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in serum was significantly increased (ng/L: 432.70±17.68 vs. 353.70±17.01), the proportion of F4/80 + peritoneal macrophages was increased [(68.25±3.41)% vs. (50.84±4.98)%], while the ratio of F4/80 +CD206 + anti-inflammatory peritoneal macrophages was decreased [(45.25±6.75)% vs. (66.66±3.36)%]. The α diversity sobs index of gut microbiota was downregulated significantly (118.50±23.25 vs. 255.70±6.87), the structure of species composition was altered, and the relative abundance of functional gut microbiota related to transcription, secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, and signal transduction were decreased significantly in CLP group (all P < 0.05). Compared with CLP group, upon MSC or MSC-CM treatment, the pathological injury in lung and colon was alleviated to varying extent, the length of colon was increased (cm: 6.53±0.27, 6.87±0.18 vs. 6.00±0.26), the level of IL-1β in serum was downregulated (ng/L: 382.10±16.93, 343.20±23.61 vs. 432.70±17.68), the ratio of F4/80 + peritoneal macrophages was decreased [(47.65±3.93)%, (48.68±2.51)% vs. (68.25±3.41)%], the ratio of F4/80 +CD206 + anti-inflammatory peritoneal macrophages was increased [(52.73±5.02)%, (66.38±4.73)% vs. (45.25±6.75)%], and the α diversity sobs index of gut microbiota was increased (182.50±16.35, 214.00±31.18 vs. 118.50±23.25), and the effects of MSC-CM were more significant (all P < 0.05). At the same time, species composition of gut microbiota was rebuilt, and a tendency of increase in relative abundance of functional gut microbiota was observed upon MSC and MSC-CM treatment. Conclusion:Both MSC and MSC-CM could alleviate inflammatory injury in tissues, and showed regulatory effects on gut microbiota in septic mouse model, moreover, MSC-CM exhibited superior advantages over MSC.

The new business forms are the new patterns of the job market extended by the use of mobile internet, big data, cloud computing, and other information technologies in the context of a new round of information technology development. In recent years, under the catalysis of the new employment model, a large number of new business employees have emerged such as food delivery riders, couriers, and online car-hailing drivers, whose employment forms are flexible and don’t fully conform to the establishment of labor relations with the employers, and whose problem of overtime work is common. The employment characteristics of new business forms of "focusing on performance and ignoring responsibility" make workers at great risks of occupational injuries and occupational health problems such as work-related musculoskeletal disorders, mental disorders, and overwork. However, the current research on occupational safety and health of workers in new business forms is insufficient, and the experience of institutional practice and supervision is also limited. Therefore, based on relevant research progress at home and abroad, this paper discussed the health injuries of workers in new business forms, summarized associated influencing factors from four aspects: employment form, employment affiliation, long working hours exposure, and institutional guarantee, and then proposed countermeasures to strengthen occupational safety and health protection of workers. For the current problems in the employment of new business forms, the government, enterprises, and workers need to work together to improve the legal and regulatory system for employment of new business forms, and standardize occupational safety and health management, thus effectively protect the occupational safety and health rights and interests of workers in new business forms.

Objective:To investigate the application value of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination in clinical diagnosis of gallbladder tumor with perigallbladder invasion.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 80 gallbladder tumor patients with perigallbladder invasion who were admitted to 3 medical centers (21 cases in The First Affiliated Hospital of Northwest University, 42 cases in The First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University, 17 cases in The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University) from January 2021 to December 2022 were collec-ted. There were 45 males and 35 females, aged (56±4)years. Observation indicators: (1) CT and MRI examinations; (2) surgical conditions. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) CT and MRI examinations. Of 80 patients, cases with gallbladder cancer and gallbladder adenoma were 73 and 7, respectively. Cases with endoluminal nodular type, mass type and localized thick-walled type were 33, 39 and 8, respectively, with tumor diameter as 1.55 cm×1.35 cm×1.33 cm, 1.64 cm×1.37 cm×1.36 cm and 5.72 cm×4.07 cm×4.36 cm. Results of CT examination of endoluminal nodular type showed local nodular protrusions into the endoluminal area, and local enhancement on enhanced scanning. Results of CT examination of localized thick-walled type showed the cavity wall of lesion was locally or diffusely irregul-arly thickened, with a thickness of 1.10(range, 1.10-2.21)cm. Of 80 patients, results of CT and MRI examinations showed invasion of liver parenchyma in 68 cases, which was manifested as local mass, blurred demarcation, and abnormal protrusion. The maximum depth was (4.22±0.25)cm, (4.22±0.22)cm, (4.28±0.16)cm of cross-sectional, coronal, sagittal view in CT examination, respectively. The minimum depth was (0.22±0.10)cm, (0.25±0.08)cm, (0.24±0.12)cm. The depth of liver parenchyma invaded was (1.64±1.38)cm, (1.68±1.46)cm, (1.66±1.40)cm. Results of CT and MRI examinations showed invasion of perigallbladder, which was manifested as local invasion of the gastric antrum in 12 cases. (2) Surgical conditions. Of 80 patients, results of CT and MRI examina-tions showed that 60 patients had localized masses in the gallbladder cavity with or without infiltration of surrounding tissues. After confirming the absence of other organs and distant metastasis, cases undergoing radical resection and palliative resection were 44 and 16, respectively. Results of CT and MRI examina-tions showed that 20 patients had malignant gallbladder tumors with peri-pheral liver infiltration and multiple intrahepatic metastases with distant organ metastases, which were unresectable.Conclusion:For patients with gallbladder cancer and perigallbladder invasion, CT or MRI examina-tions can show their structural characteristics.
