ObjectiveTo establish a risk recognition model for coronary artery stenosis by using a machine learning method and to identify the key causative factors. MethodsPatients aged ≥18 years，diagnosed with coronary heart disease through coronary angiography from January 2013 to May 2020 in two prominent hospitals in Shanxi Province， were continuously enrolled. Logistic regression，back propagation neural network （BPNN）， and random forest（RF）algorithms were used to construct models for detecting the causative factors of coronary artery stenosis. Sensitivity （TPR）， specificity （TNR）， accuracy （ACC）， positive predictive value （PV+）， negative predictive value （PV-）， area under subject operating characteristic curve （AUC）， and calibration curve were used to compare the discrimination and calibration performance of the models. The best model was then employed to predict the main risk variables associated with coronary stenosis. ResultsThe RF model exhibited superior comprehensive performance compared to logistic regression and BPNN models. The TPR values for logistic regression，BPNN，and RF models were 75.76%， 74.30%， and 93.70%， while ACC values were 74.05%， 72.30%， and 79.49%， respectively. The AUC values were：logistic regression 0.739 9； BPNN 0.723 1； RF 0.752 2. Manifestations such as chest pains，abnormal ST segments on ECG，ventricular premature beats with hypertension， atrial fibrillation， regional wall motion abnormalities（RWMA） by color echocardiography， aortic regurgitation（AR）， pulmonary insufficiency （PI）， family history of cardiovascular diseases，and body mass index（BMI）were identified as top ten important variables affecting coronary stenosis according to the RF model. ConclusionsRandom forest model shows the best comprehensive performance in identification and accurate assessment of coronary artery stenosis. The prediction of risk factors affecting coronary artery stenosis can provide a scientific basis for clinical intervention and help to formulate further diagnosis and treatment strategies so as to delay the disease progression.

Objective: To analyze the current status and influencing factors of psychological crisis among college students, so as to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of psychological crisis intervention plans in colleges and universities. Methods: From September to December 2024, 645 college students from a medical undergraduate university in Heilongjiang Province were selected with a convenience sampling method. A convergent mixed analysis design was used. Quantitative analysis was conducted using College Students Psychological Crisis Screening Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Short-Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran and Perceived School Climate Scale. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the related factors of psychological crisis among college students. Qualitative research was conducted on 15 college students with psychological crisis identified in the quantitative analysis by a purposive sampling method. The interview data were organized and analyzed using the thematic framework analysis method. Results: Among the surveyed college students, 92 (14.3%) had psychological crisis. Binary Logistic regression analysis results showed that positive parenting style ( OR=0.97,95%CI =0.95-0.99), negative parenting style ( OR=1.01,95%CI =1.00-1.02), cognitive reappraisal ( OR=0.88, 95%CI =0.83-0.92), expressive suppression ( OR=1.08, 95%CI =1.02-1.15), and perceived campus atmosphere ( OR=0.97, 95%CI =0.95-0.98) were all related factors of psychological crisis among college students ( P <0.05). The qualitative analysis results showed that there were three themes for the influencing factors of college students psychological crisis, including differential impact of emotion regulation strategies on psychological state, shaping of psychological state of college students by family and bidirectional effect of perceived campus atmosphere on psychological state. Mixed analysis results showed that the influencing factors of college students psychological crisis were consistent in terms of emotion regulation strategies, and were expansive in terms of parenting style and perceived campus atmosphere. Conclusion Schools and mental health service departments can reduce the risk of psychological crisis by optimizing cognitive reappraisal and reducing expressive suppression, improve the level of psychological crisis by strengthening positive family interaction and blocking negative parenting style, and maintain the mental health level of college students by building a supportive campus environment and alleviating high pressure.

Objective:To elucidate the primary elements pertaining to the perception of relapse risk and to in-vestigate the characteristics and alterations of perception of the risk of recurrence in patients with schizophrenia.Methods:By using the method of phenomenological study,semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted among schizophrenic patients with first onset,first recurrence and multiple recurrences.Twenty-three 23 outpatient and inpatient cases that met the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition(DSM-5)were included,and all patients had PANSS scores below 60.The interview data were collated and analyzed according to Colaizzi analysis.Results:The perception of recurrence risk in patients with schizophrenia en-compassed 4 major themes and 11 sub-themes,namely susceptibility(limited overall understanding,transition from optimism to objectivity),detection of early warning symptoms(dynamic escalation,assistance from family mem-bers in identification),understanding risk factors(lack of understanding,the relationship between psychosocial fac-tors and relapse,dynamic understanding of medication-relapse relationship),and apprehension of the consequences of recurrence(care burden and financial constraints,impaired social functioning and maladjustment,impact on pub-lic safety,personal health risks).Conclusion:The content of risk perception of recurrence in patients with schizo-phrenia is relatively substantial.The overall level of risk perception of recurrence in patients with schizophrenia is low.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of medication experience in patients with schizophrenia based on benefit-risk perception.Methods Patients with stable schizophrenia who were hospitalized in 2 tertiary psychiatric hospitals in Heilongjiang Province from September to December 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method.A convergent mixed method was adopted.In quantitative study,data of 400 patients were collected by general situation questionnaire,Subjective Well-being Under Neuroleptic Treatment Scale,the Living with Medicines Questionnaire,Beliefs about Medication Questionnaire,Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale.Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of medication experience in patients with schizophrenia.15 patients with adverse medication experience in quantitative study were selected for qualitative study,and the interview data were sorted and analyzed according to the topic frame analysis method.Results Quantitative results:medication burden,medication beliefs,and psychiatric symptoms of patients with schizophrenia were influential factors of medication experience(P<0.05).Qualitative results:the medication experience of schizophrenia patients includes 4 themes,namely perceived necessity of medication,perceived benefit of medication,perceived risk of medication,and the need for multi-party cooperation to improve the medication experience.The results of quantitative and qualitative research are complementary in terms of perceived benefit,consistent in terms of perceived risk,and expansive in terms of perceived value.Conclusion Psychiatric nurses can reduce patients'perceived risk of medication,enhance the perceived benefit of medication,and then improve patients'adverse medication experience and promote mental rehabilitation.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the occipitocervical angle(basilar vertebral angle [O-C 2 angle], mento-pharyngeal angle [M-P angle], and cervical range of motion [CROM]) and difficult airway after occipitocervical fusion surgery in the patients. Methods:This was a retrospective study. The clinical data from patients who underwent occipitocervical fusion surgery at our hospital from March 2018 to March 2023 were retrospectively collected. Preoperative and last follow-up airway assessment data and cervical lateral X-rays were collected to measure the O-C 2 angle, M-P angle and CROM. Patients were divided into negative group (Mallampati grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ, suggesting no difficulty in intubation) and positive group (Mallampati grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ, suggesting possible difficulty in intubation) based on the last follow-up modified Mallampati classification. Results:A total of 53 patients were finally included, with 18 cases in positive group and 35 in negative group. There were no statistically significant differences in the O-C 2 angle and CROM between preoperative and last follow-up in the 53 patients ( P>0.05), and the M-P angle was significantly decreased at the last follow-up compared with that before operation ( P<0.05). Compared with negative group, O-C 2 angle and M-P angle were significantly decreased at the last follow-up ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in CROM in positive group ( P<0.05). Compared with that before operation, the M-P angle was significantly decreased at the last follow-up in both groups, and the O-C 2 angle was significantly decreased at the last follow-up in positive group ( P<0.05). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of O-C 2 angle, M-P angle and CROM in predicting difficult airway were 0.895, 0.888 and 0.519 respectively. Conclusions:The decrease in the O-C 2 angle and M-P angle after occipitocervical fusion surgery can increase the risk of difficult airway, and both can be used for airway assessment in the patients undergoing this kind of surgery.

Objective To investigate the mental resilience of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation in nursing homes and analyze its related factors.Methods By using convenience sampling and the Chinese version of the Beck scale for suicide ideation,a total of 119 disabled elderly with suicidal ideation were screened from 8 nursing homes in Chongqing from May to October 2022.Then they were investigated with the general information questionnaire,the Memorial University of Newfoundland scale of happiness,the 10-item connor-davidson resilience scale and the hospital depression scale.Results The average score of resilience of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation was(1.58±0.70)points,which was at a lower level.There were statistically significant differences in the mental resilience of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation in terms of the nature of the nursing homes,the degree of disability and education,the length of stay,the frequency of communication with relatives and participation in collective activities.The mental resilience of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms(r1=-0.631,P＜0.001),and positively correlated with subjective well-being(r2=0.652,P＜0.001).Among disabled elderly with suicidal ideation,the degree of education and subjective well-being positively predicted mental resilience,while depressive symptoms negatively predicted mental resilience(adjusted R2=0.521,P＜O.001).Conclusion The mental resilience level of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation in nursing homes is lower.Nursing homes should focus on improving the mental resilience of disabled elderly with lower educational level,lower subjective well-being and higher depression symptoms,so as to improve their adaptability.

Cancer genomics has led to the discovery of numerous oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that play critical roles in cancer development and progression.Oncogenes promote cell growth and proliferation,whereas tumor suppressor genes inhibit cell growth and division.The dysregulation of these genes can lead to the development of cancer.Recent studies have focused on non-coding RNAs(ncRNAs),including circular RNA(circRNA),long non-coding RNA(lncRNA),and microRNA(miRNA),as therapeutic targets for cancer.In this article,we discuss the oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes of ncRNAs associated with different types of cancer and their potential as therapeutic targets.Here,we highlight the mechanisms of action of these genes and their clinical applications in cancer treatment.Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and identifying specific therapeutic targets are essential steps towards the development of effective cancer treatments.

Objective To investigate the association between milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8(MFG-E8)and Alzheimer disease(AD).Methods The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database was used,and a multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the association of MFG-E8 with the pathological markers of AD and brain structure and perform subgroup analyses.The mixed-effects model was used to investigate the longitudinal changes in MFG-E8 with AD pathological markers and brain structure,and a mediation analysis was used to investigate the potential association of MFG-E8 with AD pathology and brain structure.Results A total of 377 individuals were en-rolled in the study.The level of MFG-E8 was positively correlated with the concentrations of amyloid β-protein 42(Aβ42),tau protein,and phosphorylated tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid,and subgroup analyses showed that the correlation of MFG-E8 with the concentrations of AD pathological markers and lateral ventricular volume in male individuals,the elderly popula-tion,and the individuals carrying the APOE4 gene was consistent with that in the overall population.Longitudinal studies showed that during follow-up,the increase in MFG-E8 level was significantly associated with enlarged lateral ventricle volume.In addition,MFG-E8 could alter lateral ventricle volume by affecting the level of Aβ42.Conclusion MFG-E8 is associated with AD and may influence lateral ventricular volume through AD pathological markers.

Purpose To investigate the evaluation value of right-to-left shunt in atrial septal aneurysm(ASA)via contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler,and analyze its clinical significance.Materials and Methods Forty patients with ASA who were performed on contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler in Jiaozuo People's Hospital from June 2020 to July 2021,and 242 patients without ASA during the same period were enrolled.The overall incidence of right-to-left shunt was compared between the two groups in resting state and after Valsalva maneuver.All patients with right-to-left shunt were divided into small shunt group and large shunt group according to the number of microbubbles detected,comparing the incidence of small and big shunt,as well as alterations of shunt after Valsalva maneuver between the two groups.Results Contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler in resting state:positive rate of ASA patients with right-to-left shunt was significantly higher than that of non-ASA patients via contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler in resting state[47.5%(19/40)vs.29.8%(72/242);χ2=4.95,P=0.03].There were 14 ASA patients(73.7%)with small shunt and five ASA patients(26.3%)with large shunt.There were 61 non-ASA patients(84.7%)with small shunt and 11 non-ASA patients(15.3%)with large shunt.In resting state,there was no significant difference in ratio between small and large shunts,though there were mainly small shunt patients between the two groups(χ2=1.26,P=0.264).The positive rate of patients with or without ASA were significantly higher after Valsalva maneuver than those in resting state(positive rate of ASA patients was 77.5%,χ2=8.64,P=0.002;positive rate of non-ASA patients was 48.8%,χ2=80.49,P<0.001).The number of cases with massive shunt in ASA group were significantly higher than those in non-ASA group[64.5%(20/31)vs.47.5%(56/118);χ2=12.58,P<0.001].Conclusion ASA is often accompanied by right-to-left shunt,especially those with a substantial right-to-left shunt can trigger by the Valsalva maneuver.Therefore,attention should be paid to patients with ASA in clinical practice with standardized diagnosis and treatment.
