Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of preoperative positron emission computed-tomography(PET-CT)examination for lymph node metastasis in early non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 232 early-stage NSCLC patients who underwent preoperative PET-CT examination and radical surgery for lung cancer in the hospital from January 2019 to April 2023 were selected.Clinical data,PET-CT examination results,and lymph node dissection pathology were collected to calculate the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of PET-CT diagnosis of NSCLC lymph node metastasis.The maximum standard uptake value(SUVmax)of the primary lesion and the predic-tive value of lymph node SUVmax for early NSCLC lymph node metastasis were evaluated by the receiver op-erating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The accuracy of PET-CT examination in the diagnosis of NSCLC was 95.69％,the accuracy of lymph node metastasis diagnosis was 85.78％,the sensitivity was 35.56％,the specificity was 97.86％,the positive predictive value was 80.00％,and the negative predictive value was 86.32％.There was a statistically significant difference in the detection rate of PET-CT examination and path-ological results among pulmonary nodules of different natures and sizes(P＜0.01).For predicting lymph node metastasis in NSCLC,the cutoff point of SUVmax in the primary lesion was 3.83(P＜0.001),and the cutoff point of SUVmax in lymph nodes was 3.07(P＜0.001).Conclusion In early NSCLC,preoperative PET-CT examination has a high diagnostic accuracy for ground glass nodule lymph node metastasis,but its di-agnostic value for solid nodule lymph node metastasis is limited and insufficient to guide lymph node dissec-tion.Primary lesion SUVmax≥3.83 or lymph node SUVmax≥3.07 are high-risk factors for early lymph node metastasis in lung cancer.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective This study aims to explore the association between non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)and suicide attempts(SA)in adolescents and the mediating effect of cognitive flexibility.Methods A total of 218 depression patients with NSSI who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,5th Edition(DSM-5)diagnostic criteria for NSSI were enrolled.Patients were divided into SA group(n=105)and non-SA group(n=113)according to the presence or absence of SA in the last one year.The adolescent non-suicidal self-injury assessment questionnaire(ANSAQ)and the Wisconsin card sorting tests(WCST)was used to assess the frequency of NSSI and cognitive flexibility,respectively.A mediation model was constructed to conduct path analysis,and the product distribution method was utilized to test the mediation effect.Results The difference between SA group and non-SA group in NSSI(20.1±10.7 vs.14.7±9.1)and WCST scores[correct responses percentage(67.3％±14.2％vs.72.9％±12.2％),error responses(39.8±20.3 vs.31.6±17.9),perseverative response(6.7±3.8 vs.5.3±2.9),and non-perseverative errors(37.6±21.0 vs.28.9±18.1)]were significant(P<0.05).Dichotomous logistic regression analysis showed that the frequency of NSSI(OR=1.051,95％CI:1.021-1.082)and the score of perseverative response(OR=1.100,95％CI:1.008-1.199)were significantly associated with suicidal behavior among adolescents with NSSI(P<0.05).Moreover,perseverative response partially mediated the association between NSSI and SA(95％CI of Za×Zb:0.0003-0.0168).Conclusion High NSSI and low cognitive flexibility are risk factors for suicide attempts in NSSI adolescents and NSSI may also affect SA indirectly by lowering cognitive flexibility.

Background and Purpose:Previous studies have investigated the prognostic significance of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue composition and distribution in colorectal cancer patients,yet most have not differentiated between rectal and colon cancer patient cohorts.This study aimed to explore the relationship between body composition and long-term prognosis,and to develop a postoperative predictive model.Methods:Clinical data of rectal cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment at Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected.Inclusion criteria:①Age＞18 years;② Preoperative colonoscopy and pathological diagnosis of colorectal cancer;③ Complete surgical resection;④Abdominal computed tomography(CT)scan 1 month before surgery.Exclusion criteria:① Clinical data is missing;② Multiple metastases of tumors;③ Tumor T stage 0 or carcinoma in situ;④ Severe artifacts lead to poor quality CT imaging,making it difficult to distinguish between fat and muscle;⑤ Inability to obtain follow-up results.This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University(approval number:QYFYWZLL30313),and informed consent has been waived in the ethical approval process.The skeletal muscle index(SMI)and subcutaneous adipose tissue index(SATI)were calculated by dividing the areas of skeletal muscle and subcutaneous fat observed on CT scans by the square of the patient's height.Univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were conducted to identify risk factors influencing recurrence-free survival(RFS)and overall survival(OS)in rectal cancer patients.Based on the results of the multivariate analysis,a nomogram prediction model was developed,its predictive power and accuracy were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration plots and decision curve analysis(DCA),and internal validation was conducted.Results:A total of 696 patients were included in this study,with 96(13.8%)patients experiencing postoperative recurrence and 89(12.8%)patients dying.Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that SMI,SATI,tumor T stage and N stage were independent factors affecting the postoperative RFS and OS of patients.Nomogram prediction models for RFS and OS in rectal cancer patients were constructed based on the above independent predictors.The area under ROC curve(AUC)for 3-,4-and 5-year RFS was 0.862,0.846 and 0.824,respectively;the AUC for 3-,4-and 5-year OS was 0.886,0.898 and 0.875,respectively.The models were evaluated using calibration curves and decision curves,and internal validation was performed,which showed that the prediction accuracy of the models was good.Conclusion:CT body composition is an independent predictor of RFS and OS in rectal cancer patients,and the nomogram model developed based on these factors demonstrates good predictive value for patient prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Satya mode intervention on self-efficacy,quality of life,mental health and coping style in patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 136 patients with chronic heart failure admitted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine between December 2022 and May 2023.Patients were randomly divided into control group(n=68,routine psychological intervention)and intervention group(n=68,additional Satya mode intervention).After 6-week intervention,self-efficacy[chronic disease self-efficacy scale(CDSES),general self-efficacy scale(GSES)scores],quality of life[Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire(MLHFQ)score],mental health[self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC)scores]and coping style[simpli-fied coping style questionnaire(SCSQ)score]were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared to pa-tients in the control group after intervention,those in the intervention group had significantly higher scores of CD-SES[(44.67±3.03)points vs.(41.56±2.96)points],GSES[(26.91±1.45)points vs.(23.11±1.39)points],CD-RISC[(73.48±3.61)points vs.(56.45±4.12)points]and SCSQ-positive[(12.39±1.20)points vs.(11.02±0.83)points](P＜0.001 all),and significantly lower scores of MLHFQ[(43.52±3.44)points vs.(48.77±3.76)points],SAS[(31.03±2.46)points vs.(47.86±3.23)points]and SCSQ-negative[(8.35±1.18)points vs.(10.42±1.23)points](P＜0.001 all).Conclusion:Satya model intervention may improve self-efficacy,quality of life,mental health and coping style in patients with chronic heart failure.

Objective:To systematically summarize the development trajectory and evolving trends of mobile health technologies in the field of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) both domestically and internationally, providing a reference for future research in this area.Methods:CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software was used to perform a visual analysis of relevant domestic and international literature on T2DM mobile health technologies indexed in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, and Web of Science core collection. The search period was from 2004 to 2023.Results:A total of 575 Chinese and 771 English articles were included. Overall publication volume showed a steady increase, but global research levels were uneven. High-output countries and institutions were mainly concentrated in developed countries such as the United States, but cooperation was relatively loose. The key categories for both Chinese and English keywords included application population, application type, research tools, influencing factors, and disease management models. The research frontiers both domestically and internationally are "Internet+" and digital health.Conclusions:Mobile health technologies have become an integral part of routine healthcare services for T2DM patients. However, there is still a certain gap between domestic and international research. China should timely focus on the research hotspots and frontiers in this field, actively participate in global collaborations, and improve the depth and breadth of research.
