Objective To explore the mediating role of mindful attention and awareness in depressive symptoms and insomnia severity among patients with comorbid depression and insomnia.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted,enrolling 267 patients with comorbid depression and insomnia who were treated in the outpatient Department of Medical Psychology of Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University,from March to May 2024.Basic demographic and clinical data were collected using a general information questionnaire.Depressive symptom severity was measured via the Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9),insomnia severity via the Insomnia Severity Index(ISI),perceived stress via the Perceived Stress Scale-10(PSS-10),and mindful attention and awareness via the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale(MAAS).Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlations between depressive severity,insomnia severity,perceived stress,and mindful attention and awareness.Mediation analysis was performed using Process 4.1.Results The PHQ-9 score was(13.80±5.98)and the ISI score was(17.10±5.56)in the 267 patients.Pearson correlation analysis showed that depressive severity and insomnia severity were positively correlated with perceived stress(r=0.531,0.351,P<0.001)and negatively correlated with mindful attention and awareness(r=-0.373,-0.350,P<0.001).Mediation analysis using Process 4.1 indicated that the combined mediating effect of mindful attention and awareness and insomnia between perceived stress level and depressive level was 0.157,with a 95%confidence interval(CI)of 0.102～0.217,and the total mediating effect was significant(P<0.001).Conclusion Perceived stress directly positively affects depression and indirectly exacerbates depression through insomnia as a mediator,and mindful attention and awareness can weaken the promoting effect of perceived stress on insomnia.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary brain tumor characterized by poor prognosis. Conventional chemo-radiotherapy demonstrates limited therapeutic efficacy and is often accompanied by significant side effects, largely due to factors such as drug resistance, radiation resistance, the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and the activation of DNA damage repair mechanisms. There is a pressing need to enhance treatment efficacy, with BRD4 identified as a promising target for increasing GBM sensitivity to therapy. Lacking small molecule inhibitors, BRD4 can be degraded using PROteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC), thereby inhibiting DNA damage repair. To deliver PROTAC, SIAIS171142 (SIS) effectively, we designed a responsive nanocapsule, MPL_(SS)P@SIS, featuring GBM-targeting and GSH-responsive drug release. Modified with 1-methyl-l-tryptophan (MLT), nanocapsules facilitate targeted delivery of SIS, downregulating BRD4 and sensitizing GBM cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After intravenous administration, MPL_(SS)P@SIS selectively accumulates in tumor tissue, enhancing the effects of radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ) by increasing DNA damage and oxidative stress. GSH activates the nanocapsules, triggering BRD4 degradation and hindering DNA repair. In mouse models, the nanosensitizer, combined with TMZ and X-ray irradiation, efficiently inhibited the growth of GBM. These findings demonstrate a novel PROTAC-based sensitization strategy targeting BRD4, offering a promising approach for effective GBM therapy.

Objective To find out about perceived stress,self-compassion,cognitive flexibility,and depression among young males at high altitudes,construct a relational model between perceived stress and depression,explore the relationship between perceived stress and depression,and examine the roles of self-compassion and cognitive flexibility.Methods Using the convenient sampling method,733 young males from a high-altitude unit were surveyed via the general information questionnaire,the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS),the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory(CFI),Self-Compassion Scale(SCS)and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scales(CES-D).Results(1)TheCES-D score was 13.92±3.38.(2)Perceived stress was positively correlated with depression(r=0.28,P＜0.01).(3)Self-compassion partially mediated the relationship between perceived stress and depression,accounting for 59.05％of the total effect.(4)Cognitive flexibility moderated the relationship between self-compassion and depression(P＜0.05).Conclusion Young males at high altitudes exhibit notable levels of depressive symptoms.Perceived stress was significantly positively correlated with depression.By enhancing self-compassion and cognitive flexibility,the incidence of depressive symptoms among young males in prolonged high-stress conditions can be reduced.

Objective To explore the differential diagnostic value of three-dimensional CT values in active pulmonary tuberculosis(APTB)and inactive pulmonary tuberculosis(IPTB).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 96 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.According to whether the pulmonary tuberculosis lesions were active,the patients were divided into APTB group(n=61)and IPTB group(n=35).The baseline data,CT signs,and three-dimensional CT values were compared between two groups.Additionally,the results of three-dimensional CT values and conventional CT reading method in evaluating the activity of pulmonary tuberculosis were compared,and the accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of using three-dimensional CT values and conventional CT reading method to evaluate the activity of pulmonary tuberculosis were further analyzed.Results APTB group showed a higher incidence of bilateral pulmonary lesions than IPTB group(P<0.05).Compared with IPTB group,APTB group had higher proportions of blurred boundaries,parenchymal cavities,ground-glass opacities,and tree-in-bud signs(P<0.05),but lower proportions of parenchymal bronchiectasis,parenchymal calcifications,and fibrous strip shadows(P<0.05).The three-dimensional CT values in APTB group were lower than those in IPTB group(P<0.05).Significant differences were observed between conventional CT reading method and three-dimensional CT values in evaluating the activities of pulmonary parenchymal calcifications and thick-wall cavities(P<0.05).Specifically,three-dimensional CT values correctly identified 92 cases of tuberculosis lesions,including 59 cases of APTB and 33 cases of IPTB,and the remaining 4 misidentified lesions were calcified,consolidated and nodular lesions.Conventional CT reading method correctly identified 68 cases of tuberculosis lesions,including 43 cases of APTB and 25 cases of IPTB.The sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of three-dimensional CT values were all higher than those of conventional CT reading method(P<0.05).Conclusion Three-dimensional CT values can effectively determine the activity of pulmonary tuberculosis,exhibiting high sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy.

Pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin, an important part in pharmaceutical excipients, are widely used in pharmaceutical preparations.However, compared with the pharmaceutical excipients of other origins, pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin have more special requirements in many aspects, such as raw materials, production, quality control, storage, supervision, etc.Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 first included the Guideline for Pharmaceutical Excipients of Animal Origin, which introduces the basic ideas and technical requirements for the life cycle quality control of pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin based on the risk management concept.This article illustrates the specificity of the pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin, and interprets the main contents of this guideline in conjunction with relevant domestic and foreign regulations and technical documents, thereby providing comprehensive reference for the implementation of the guideline.

Objective: To investigate the effects of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)-centered regional neonatal transport network (NTN) on the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze the transfer, treatment and outcomes of 406 preterm infants with ROP who were transferred to the Bayi Children's Hospital Affiliated to the Seventh Medical Center of PLA General Hospital via the NTN from July 2008 to December 2014. Independent sample t-test, Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney nonparametric test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Among the 406 premature infants who were transferred to our hospital because of ROP, there were 257 males and 149 females with the gestational age of (29.5±1.9) weeks (24⁺⁵-36 weeks) and the birth weight of (1 234.8± 268.9) g (580-2 400 g). The age at transfer was (48.9±18.5) d (15-78 d) and the transport distance was (216.5±78.6) km (10-625 km). No death was reported during the transportation. Very preterm births and very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) accounted for 88.7% (360 cases) and 82.5% (335 cases), respectively. Lesions occurred in 1, 2 and 3 zones were detected in 98 (24.1%), 286 (70.4%) and 22 (5.4%) cases, respectively. Lesions of stage 1-5 were observed in 51 (12.6%), 156 (38.4%), 183 (45.1%), 12 (3.0%) and 4 (1.0%) cases. There were 186 cases (45.8%) with Plus lesions. A total of 252 cases (62.1%) underwent surgery which were achieving treatment standards, including 165 (65.5%) undergoing laser therapy, 93 (36.9%) receiving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy, 16 (6.4%) having vitrectomy and two (0.8%) having scleral buckling. Eighteen infants were diagnosed with retinal structural abnormalities, among which 16 had retinal detachment before admission (12 in phase 4 and four in phase 5). Two without retinal detachment on admission developed to phase 4 after surgery. The incidence of retinal structural dysplasia was 0.9% (2/236) in infants receiving laser and/or anti-VEGF therapy in our hospital. Compared with the cured patients (n=234), those with retinal structural dysplasia (n=18) had a late transfer time [80 (38-270) vs 50 (19-150) d, Z=3.387, P<0.001]. Conclusions The NICU-centered and regional transfer-based ROP treatment network provides timely and effective treatment for infants with ROP.

Objective: To explore the effects of anteriolateral thigh perforator flap and fascia lata transplantation in combination with computed tomography angiography (CTA) on repair of electrical burn wounds of head with skull exposure and necrosis. Methods: Seven patients with head electrical burns accompanied by skull exposure and necrosis were admitted to our burn center from March 2016 to December 2017. Head CTA was performed before the operation. The diameters of the facial artery and vein or the superficial temporal artery and vein were measured, and their locations were marked on the body surface. Preoperative CTA for flap donor sites in lower extremities were also performed to track the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery with the similar diameter as the recipient vessels on the head, and their locations were marked on the body surface. Routine wound debridement and skull drilling were performed successively. The size of the wounds after debridement ranged from 12 cm×8 cm to 20 cm×12 cm, and the areas of skull exposure ranged from 8 cm×6 cm to 15 cm×10 cm. Anteriolateral thigh perforator flaps with areas from 13 cm×9 cm to 21 cm×13 cm containing 5-10 cm long vascular pedicles were designed and dissected accordingly. The fascia lata under the flap with area from 5 cm×2 cm to 10 cm×3 cm was dissected according to the length of vascular pedicle. The fascia lata was transplanted to cover the exposed skull, and the anteriolateral thigh perforator flap was transplanted afterwards. The descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and its accompanying vein of the flap were anastomosed with superficial temporal artery and vein or facial artery and vein before the suture of flap. The flap donor sites were covered by intermediate split-thickness skin graft collected from contralateral thigh or abdomen. Results: The descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and its accompanying vein were anastomosed with superficial temporal artery and vein in six patients, while those with facial artery and vein in one patient. All the flaps survived after the operation, and no vascular crisis was observed. Wound healing was satisfactory. One patient was lost to follow up. Six patients were followed up for 6 to 10 months. The patients were bald in the head operation area with acceptable appearance. No psychiatric symptom such as headache or epileptic seizure was reported. The flap donor sites were normal in appearance. The muscle strength of the lower extremities all reached grade V. The sensation and movement of the lower extremities were normal. Conclusions Anterolateral thigh perforator flap with fascia lata transplantation can effectively repair electrical burn wounds of head with skull exposure and necrosis. The fascia lata can be used to protect the vascular pedicle of flaps, which is beneficial to the survival of the flap. Preoperative head and lower extremities CTA can provide reference for intraoperative vascular exploration in donor site and recipient area, so as to shorten operation time.
