Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of remote robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery utilizing 5G technology. Methods Clinical data from five patients who underwent 5G remote robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery at the Thoracic Surgery Center of Gansu Provincial People's Hospital from May to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Finally, five patients were included. There were 2 males and 3 females at median age of 50 (42-63) years. All five surgeries (including 1 patient of lobectomy, 3 patients of partial lung resection and 1 patient of mediastinal lesion resection) were successfully completed without conversion to thoracotomy, complications, or mortality. The median intraoperative signal delay across the patients was 39 (37-42) ms. The median psychological load score for the surgeons was 9 (3-13). The median operation time was 100 (80-122) minutes with a median intraoperative blood loss of 100 (30-200) mL. Catheter drainage lasted a median of 4 (3-5) days, and the median drainage volumes on the first, second, and third postoperative day were 200 (100-300) mL, 150 (60-220) mL, and 80 (30-180) mL, respectively. The median postoperative hospital stay was 4 (3-7) days, and the median pain scores on the third postoperative day were 3 (1-4), 3 (0-3), and 1 (0-3), respectively. Conclusion 5G remote robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is safe and effective, with good surgical experience, smooth operation and small intraoperative delay.

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 report describes two cases of severe immune-mediated thrombocytopenia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) who were treated with umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs). Case 1 was a child with severe aplastic anemia who underwent haploidentical bone marrow and peripheral blood HSCT, with a chimerism rate of 99.8% on day +25 and severe immune-mediated thrombocytopenia on day +60. After intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) pulse therapy, platelet count increased temporarily but then decreased, while cyclosporine, methylprednisolone, and rituximab had a poor therapeutic effect. Case 2 was a child with Gaucher's disease who underwent unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT, with a chimerism rate of 96.35% on day +41 and severe immune-mediated thrombocytopenia on day +153. After three sessions of IVIG pulse therapy, the platelet count increased initially but subsequently decreased. Therapies with dexamethasone, prednisone, cyclosporine, and recombinant human thrombopoietin also yielded a poor response. Both children received three sessions of UC-MSCs infusion, and platelet counts increased and were subsequently maintained within the normal range. Case 1 has been followed up for 10 years and remains in disease-free survival. UC-MSCs infusion may be effective for severe immune-mediated thrombocytopenia that is unresponsive to first- and second-line therapies after HSCT and could potentially improve the quality of life and disease-free survival rate.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and safety of Tiaozhou Ziyin (TZZY) recipe for treatment of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS: We used bioinformatics analyses and network pharmacology to identify the main active ingredients in TZZY recipe and their core targets, which were verified by Western blotting. We tested the efficacy and safety of the recipe in 60 POI patients, who were randomized into control group (n=30) with Femoston treatment and TZZY group (n=30) with additional TZZY recipe treatment for 3 menstrual cycles. RESULTS: The core active ingredients of TZZY recipe included kaempferol, β-sitosterol, luteolin, and quercetin. The core targets included SRC, TP53, STAT3, PIK3CA, and MAPK3, which were involved in positive regulation of cell movement and protein phosphorylation, the cancer pathways and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that the core active ingredients had good binding ability with the core targets. In female rat models of POI, TZZY recipe treatment significantly up-regulated ovarian expressions of p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins. In the clinical trial, treatment with Femoston and Femoston plus TZZY recipe both significantly increased E₂ levels and reduced FSH and LH levels and Kupperman scores of the patients, and the combined treatment produced significantly stronger effects. Both treatments increased the number of antral follicles of the patients, but the combined treatment also significantly increased the levels of AMH. CONCLUSIONS The therapeutic mechanism of TZZY recipe for POI involves multiple active ingredients, multiple therapeutic targets and multiple pathways, and activating the PI3K /Akt pathway is one of its main mechanisms of action, to improve ovarian reserve function, alleviate clinical symptoms, and enhance clinical efficacy in POI patients.

In-depth study of the components of polymyxins is the key to controlling the quality of this class of antibiotics. Similarities and variations of components present significant analytical challenges. A two-dimensional (2D) liquid chromatography-mass spectrometr (LC-MS) method was established for screening and comprehensive profiling of compositions of the antibiotic colistimethate sodium (CMS). A high concentration of phosphate buffer mobile phase was used in the first-dimensional LC system to get the components well separated. For efficient and high-accuracy screening of CMS, a targeted method based on a self-constructed high resolution (HR) mass spectrum database of CMS components was established. The database was built based on the commercial MassHunter Personal Compound Database and Library (PCDL) software and its accuracy of the compound matching result was verified with six known components before being applied to genuine sample screening. On this basis, the unknown peaks in the CMS chromatograms were deduced and assigned. The molecular formula, group composition, and origins of a total of 99 compounds, of which the combined area percentage accounted for more than 95% of CMS components, were deduced by this 2D-LC-MS method combined with the MassHunter PCDL. This profiling method was highly efficient and could distinguish hundreds of components within 3 h, providing reliable results for quality control of this kind of complex drugs.

BackgroundThe distressingly high prevalence of depressive symptoms among adolescents exerts profound impacts on their physical and psychological development， urgently necessitating effective preventive interventions. Existing studies， however， have predominantly focused on isolated risk factors， neglecting to construct an integrated model that systematically disentangles the intricate relationships linking parenting styles， learning burnout， and childhood trauma to adolescent depressive symptoms. Moreover， the potential protective roles of social support and psychological resilience in this context remain insufficiently elucidated. ObjectiveTo construct a structural equation model encompassing multiple pathways to unravel the comprehensive mechanisms through which negative parenting styles， childhood trauma， learning burnout， psychological resilience， and social support collectively influence adolescent depressive symptoms， thereby providing evidence-based intervention strategies. MethodsA stratified sampling technique was utilized to recruit 5 865 students from 12 middle schools in Chengdu City， Sichuan Province from March to May 2022. Participants were assessed using the following validated instruments： the Short-form Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran （s-EMBU）， the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form （CTQ-SF）， the Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory， the Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， the Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS），and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC）. A partial least squares structural equation modeling （PLS-SEM） approach was employed to construct a predictive framework examining the complex network of pathways through which negative parenting styles， childhood trauma， learning burnout， psychological resilience，and social support collectively influence depressive symptoms in adolescents. ResultsThe PHQ-9 scores demonstrated significant positive correlations with the scores on s-EMBU overprotection subscale （r=0.272， P<0.01）， s-EMBU rejection subscale （r=0.368， P<0.01）， CTQ-SF （r=0.288， P<0.01） and Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory （r=0.587， P<0.01）. Conversely， significant negative correlations were observed between PHQ-9 scores and both SSRS （r=-0.532， P<0.01） and CD-RISC scores （r=-0.418， P<0.01）. Negative parenting styles （β=0.113， 95% CI： 0.087-0.138） and learning burnout （β=0.339， 95% CI： 0.315-0.364） emerged as significant positive predictors of depressive symptoms， with childhood trauma mediating the relationship between negative parenting styles and depressive symptoms （effect size=0.018， 95% CI： 0.013-0.024）. Social support servesed as a mediating pathway between negative parenting styles and depressive symptoms （β=0.080， 95% CI： 0.069-0.092）， as well as between negative parenting styles and childhood trauma （β=0.041， 95% CI： 0.032-0.050）. It also functioned as an intermediary pathway linking learning burnout to depressive symptoms （β=0.092， 95% CI： 0.081-0.104） and connecting learning burnout with childhood trauma （β=0.048， 95% CI： 0.037-0.058）. Additionally， psychological resilience serveed as a mediating pathway between negative parenting styles and depressive symptoms （β=0.004， 95% CI： 0.002-0.007）， between learning burnout and depressive symptoms （β=0.037， 95% CI： 0.023-0.052）， and between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms （β=0.003， 95% CI： 0.001-0.006）. ConclusionLearning burnout exerts a direct effect on adolescent depressive symptoms. Negative parenting styles influence depressive symptoms both directly and indirectly through childhood trauma. Furthermore， social support and psychological resilience serve as mediator linking negative parenting styles and learning burnout to depressive symptoms in adolescents. ［Funded by Science and Technology Project of the Health Commission of Sichuan Province （number， 24LCYJPT18）］

Objective To explore the risk factors for the occurrence of adenomatous polyps in melanosis coli(MC),and to construct and validate a risk prediction model for the occurrence of adenomatous polyps in MC.Methods The clinical data of patients with melanosis coli who underwent colonoscopy in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The related risk factors,including gender,age,smoking history,drinking history,hypertension history,diabetes history,melanosis degree and so on,were collected.Establish a column chart model for predicting the risk of adenomatous polyps using R language,evaluate the model through C-index,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA),and validate the model internally using Bootstrap method.Results Gender,degree of melanosis,homocysteine,HbA1c,TSH,fecal occult blood,gallstones or polyps,HP infection were the independent influencing factors of adenomatous polyps in patients with melanosis of large intestine.The model had a good discrimination in predicting the risk of adenomatous polyps in patients with colorectal melanosis.Hosmer Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that the P values of the training set and the validation set were 0.157 and 0.179,respectively(both＜0.05),indicating that the model fitted well.When the threshold probability of the training set and the validation level were both 0％to 100％,patients with melanosis of the colon may benefit from clinical intervention.Conclusion The risk model established by the above risk factors has good discrimination and good fit,which can provide reference for clinical decision-making.

Objective To investigate the effect of brachial plexus block on stress response in patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopic surgery.Methods A total of 150 patients with shoulder arthritis who underwent shoulder arthroscopic surgery in the Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital,Fudan University from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects.All patients were divided into the control group and the observation group by random number table method,with 75 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were given general anesthesia,while patients in the observation group were given brachial plexus block on the basis of the control group.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),norepinephrine(NE),cortisol(Cor)before operation(T0),10 minutes after operation(T1),30 minutes after operation(T2),at the end of operation(T3)and 30 minutes after extubation(T4)of the two groups were compared.The transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),C-reactive protein(CRP)before and 3 days after operation of the two groups were compared.The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores at postoperative wakefulness and 6,12 and 24 hours after operation of the two groups were compared.Results Compared with T0,the levels of MAP and HR at T1,T2,T3,and T4 in the observation group and the control group were obviously decreased(P<0.01),the levels of NE and Cor were obviously increased(P<0.01),while the levels of MAP,HR,NE,and Cor at T1,T2,T3,and T4 in the observation group were obviously lower than those in the control group(P<0.01).The levels of TGF-β1,TNF-α,and CRP 3 days after operation in the observation group and the control group were obviously increased compared with those before operation (P<0. 01), and the above indicators after operation in the observation group were obviously lower than those in the control group (P<0. 01). The VAS scores at postoperative wakefulness and 6, 12 and 24 hours after operation in the observation group were obviously lower than those in the control group (P<0. 01). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block by interscalene approach can ensure the stability of the vital signs of patients with shoulder arthritis during shoulder arthroscopic surgery, alleviate pain, reduce stress, and reduce inflammatory response.
