Objective: To explore the relationship between non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior and serum lipid levels as well as thyroid function among college students with depression. Methods: A total of 169 college students with depression in the psychiatry departments of tertiary hospitals (grade 3A and 3B) in Ningbo from December 2023 to April 2025 were selected. The Adolescent Self injury Scale (ASIS) was used to assess the presence of NSSI, and participants were accordingly divided into a NSSI group ( n =51) and a non NSSI group ( n =118). General demographic data (including gender, age, and family situation) were collected from both groups. Blood tests were performed to measure lipid profiles [triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)] and thyroid hormones [triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)]. Multivariate Logistic regression was employed to analyze risk factors for NSSI, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum lipid and thyroid hormone levels for NSSI occurrence in college students with depression. Results: The levels of TC, LDL-C, and TSH in the NSSI group were (4.02±0.73) mmol/L, (2.32±0.36) mmol/L, and (6.57±1.95) mU/L , which were significantly higher than those in the non NSSI group [(3.41±0.56) mmol/L, (2.00±0.27) mmol/L, and ( 4.48± 1.09) mU/L, respectively] ( t =5.32, 5.60, 7.20, all P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that college students from single parent/reconstituted families, those who had experienced school bullying, and those with higher levels of TC, LDL-C, and TSH had a significantly increased risk of engaging in NSSI ( OR =5.22, 6.12, 5.90, 83.64, 3.64, all P <0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of TC, LDL-C, and TSH had high diagnostic efficacy for predicting NSSI in college students with depression, with a sensitivity of 86.3% and a specificity of 94.9%. Conclusions NSSI behavior in college students with depression is associated with serum lipid levels and thyroid function. These biomarkers may serve as useful reference indicators for assessing the conditions of these patients.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological survey of pulmonary Aspergillus infection in a district of Hefei City, Anhui Province, from 2019 to 2023. Methods The data of 302 patients who attended and were treated in the respiratory department, thoracic surgery department, oncology department, tuberculosis department and RICU ward of Anhui Chest Hospital from January 2019 to September 2023 were selected, and patients with Aspergillus infections were taken as the observation group, patients with Candida infections were taken as the control group, and bacterial infections were taken as the blank group. The general information of patients, pre-treatment infection, underlying diseases, and use of antifungal drugs were analyzed. Compare the data of observation group and control group, and analyze the risk factors affecting pulmonary Aspergillus infection. Results Pulmonary Aspergillus infection 100 cases, accounting for 33.11%. Pulmonary Candida infection was 80 cases, accounting for 26.49%. The other 122 cases were other lung diseases, accounting for 40.40%. The most common causative agent of pulmonary Aspergillus infection was Aspergillus fumigatus (57.00%), cough, sputum and occasional blood were found in most of the patients (88.00%), most of the lesions were located in the right upper lobe of the lungs (55.00%), and most of the single or multiple cavities were seen on imaging (47.00%). Specimens mostly originated from the deep airways of hospitalized patients and there was a predominance of male patients. Risk factors for pulmonary Aspergillus infection were history of hospital transfer, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal catheterization (intravenous catheter and urinary catheter), history of surgery within 15 days, history of diabetes mellitus, history of respiratory chronic disease, history of antifungal prophylaxis and abnormal serum indicators. History of hospital transfer (OR=2.951, P=0.008), history of diabetes mellitus (OR=5.073, P=0.018), history of chronic respiratory disease (OR=7.523 , P=0.028), extracorporeal catheterization (OR=3.142, P=0.022), and history of anti-fungal prophylaxis (OR=6.334, P<0.001) were Aspergillus pulmonaryis infection independent risk factors for infection. Conclusion Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus are the main pathogens of pulmonary Aspergillus infections in the region, and a history of nosocomial transfer, extracorporeal tubes, diabetes mellitus, chronic respiratory disease, and antifungal prophylaxis are independent risk factors for pulmonary Aspergillus infections.

Objective To investigate the clinical feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)combined with modified endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)in the treatment of rectal neuroendo-crine tumors(RNETs).Methods A total of 48 patients diagnosed with RNETs by colonoscopy in the depart-ment of gastroenterology in this hospital from December 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study objects.Patients were randomly divided into the study group(EUS combined with modified EMR,n=16),the control 1 group(traditional EMR,n=16)and the control 2 group[endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD),n=16].The operation time,R0 resection rate and postoperative complications of each group were observed.Endoscop-ic ultrasonography was followed up 3 and 6 months after surgery to determine whether there was any recur-rence.Results The operative time of the study group[(17.813±0.379)min]was significantly shorter than that of the control 2 group[(36.250±3.296)min],the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05),but compared with the control 1 group[(16.375±1.996)min],there was no significant difference(P＞0.05).The incidence of complications in the study group(6.2％)was significantly lower than that in the control 2 group(37.5％),the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).while the incidence of complications in the study group was not significantly higher than that in the control 1 group(12.5％,P＞0.05).R0 removal rate in the study group(93.8％)was significantly higher than that in the control 1 group(62.5％)and the control 2 group(75.0％),the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion EUS combined with modified EMR has more advantages than EMR and ESD in the treatment of RNETs,and has certain fea-sibility and safety,which is convenient for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the role of Dicentrine in regulating lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 macrophages and its underlying mechanisms.Methods RAW264.7 macropha-ges were cultured and pretreated with different concentrations of Dicentrine(250,500,1 000 μmol/L).An inflam-matory response model was established using LPS stimulation(model group),with a control group receiving no treatment.Cytotoxicity of Dicentrine was evaluated by MTT assay.Nitric oxide(NO)levels in cell culture supernatants were measured using the Griess method.Fluorescence microscopy was employed to observe in-tracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)accumulation and apoptosis.Finally,mRNA expression levels of in-flammatory cytokines including IL-1β,IL-6,inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were analyzed by qPCR.Results MTT assay results indicated that Dicentrine exhibited no cyto-toxic effects at concentrations below 1 000 μmol/L.Griess method and fluorescence microscopy showed signif-icantly elevated NO and ROS levels in the model group compared to the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the 250,500,and 1 000 μmol/L Dicentrine groups demonstrated significantly reduced NO and ROS levels(P<0.05).qPCR analysis revealed significantly increased mRNA expression of IL-1β,IL-6,iNOS,and TNF-α in the model group versus the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the 250,500,and 1 000 μmol/L Dicentrine groups showed significantly decreased mRNA expression of IL-1β,IL-6,iNOS,and TNF-α(P<0.05).Conclusion Dicentrine regulates macrophage apoptosis,thereby ef-fectively inhibiting LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages.

Recent clinical studies have shown that mutation of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) gene in cancer cells may be associated with immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and poor response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Therefore, efficiently restoring PTEN gene expression in cancer cells is critical to improving the responding rate to ICB therapy. Here, we screened an adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid for efficient PTEN gene delivery into B16F10 tumor cells. We demonstrated that intratumorally injected AAV6-PTEN successfully restored the tumor cell PTEN gene expression and effectively inhibited tumor progression by inducing tumor cell immunogenic cell death (ICD) and increasing immune cell infiltration. Moreover, we developed an anti-PD-1 loaded phospholipid-based phase separation gel (PPSG), which formed an in situ depot and sustainably release anti-PD-1 drugs within 42 days in vivo. In order to effectively inhibit the recurrence of melanoma, we further applied a triple therapy based on AAV6-PTEN, PPSG^@anti-PD-1 and CpG, and showed that this triple therapy strategy enhanced the synergistic antitumor immune effect and also induced robust immune memory, which completely rejected tumor recurrence. We anticipate that this triple therapy could be used as a new tumor combination therapy with stronger immune activation capacity and tumor inhibition efficacy.

Fracture is a common orthopedic disease in clinical practice,and the resulting nonunion or delayed union of frac-tures is a major challenge in clinical treatment.In the process of fracture healing,there is a complex interaction between angio-genesis and osteogenesis,which is called the"angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling"mechanism.In recent years,a new capillary subtype characterized by high expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(PECAM-1/CD31)and salivary glyco-protein(EMCN),namely type H blood vessel,has been identified and found to play an important role in regulation of the angio-genesis-osteogenesis coupling.In this review,the mechanism of type H blood vessels promoting angiogenesis-osteogenesis cou-pling,the related molecules and signal pathways regulating type H blood vessels regeneration were discussed,in order to provide new ideas and methods for promoting fracture healing.

Objective To detect the expression of death-associated protein kinase like 1(DAPL1)and mismatch repair gene(Mut L homologue 1,MLH1)methylation level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)of patients with lung cancer,and further investigate the diagnostic value of gene methylation in early lung cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological features.Methods A total of 142 patients with suspected early stage lung cancer admitted the Second People's Hospital of Mengcheng County from January 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively selected and divided into lung cancer group(n=82)and lung benign lesion group(n=60)according to the final pathological results.Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the methylation levels of DAPL1 and MLH1 in BALF samples.The clinical diagnostic value of DAPL1 and MLH1 methylation in early stage lung cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological features of lung cancer patients were analyzed.Results The methylation levels of DAPL1 and MLH1 gene in BALF in lung cancer group were 53.66％(44/82)and 56.10％(46/82),respectively,which were significantly higher than those in benign disease group[11.67％(7/60)and 18.33％(11/60)],and the difference was statistically significant(x2=56.544,20.565,all P＜0.05).The sensitivity of DAPL1 andMLH1 gene methylation in the diagnosis of early lung cancer was 53.66％(44/82)and 56.10％(46/82),the specificity was 88.33％(53/60)and 81.67％(49/60),and the accuracy were 68.31％(97/142)and 66.90％(95/142),respectively.The sensitivity and accuracy of DAPL1 methylation combined with MLH1 methylation in the diagnosis of early lung cancer was 86.59％(71/82),and 85.92％(122/142),respectively,both of which were higher than that of a single index(Z=24.411,16.450,all P＜0.05).The methylation levels of DAPL1 and MLH1 genes in BALF of lung cancer patients were closely correlated with clinical stage,smoking history and lymph node metastasis(x2=5.493,13.083;8.167,6.946;9.303,4.523,all P＜0.05).Spearman correlation showed that DAPL1 and MLH1 gene methylation were positively correlated with clinical stage,smoking history and lymph node metastasis in patients with lung cancer(r=0.523,0.602;0.548,0.498;0.630,0.524,all P＜0.05).Conclusion The methylation of DAPL1 and MLH1 genes in BALF has high clinical diagnostic value for early lung cancer,and the methylation levels of both genes are related to the disease progression and smoking history of lung cancer patients.

Background::Hypothermia therapy has been suggested to attenuate myocardial necrosis; however, the clinical implementation as a valid therapeutic strategy has failed, and new approaches are needed to translate into clinical applications. This study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a novel selective intracoronary hypothermia (SICH) device in mitigating myocardial reperfusion injury.Methods::This study comprised two phases. The first phase of the SICH was performed in a normal porcine model for 30 minutes ( n = 5) to evaluate its feasibility. The second phase was conducted in a porcine myocardial infarction (MI) model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion which was performed by balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 60 minutes and maintained for 42 days. Pigs in the hypothermia group ( n = 8) received hypothermia intervention onset reperfusion for 30 minutes and controls ( n = 8) received no intervention. All animals were followed for 42 days. Cardiac magnetic resonance analysis (five and 42 days post-MI) and a series of biomarkers/histological studies were performed. Results::The average time to lower temperatures to a steady state was 4.8 ± 0.8 s. SICH had no impact on blood pressure or heart rate and was safely performed without complications by using a 3.9 F catheter. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α, C-reactive protein (CRP), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were lower at 60 min post perfusion in pigs that underwent SICH as compared with the control group. On day 5 post MI/R, edema, intramyocardial hemorrhage, and microvascular obstruction were reduced in the hypothermia group. On day 42 post MI/R, the infarct size, IL-6, CRP, BNP, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 were reduced, and the ejection fraction was improved in pigs that underwent SICH.Conclusions::The SICH device safely and effectively reduced the infarct size and improved heart function in a pig model of MI/R. These beneficial effects indicate the clinical potential of SICH for treatment of myocardial reperfusion injury.
