BackgroundThe middle school stage represents a crucial period for the development of borderline personality features. Negative parenting styles and emotional regulation strategies are associated with the formation of borderline personality features. However， the moderating role of emotional regulation strategies between negative parenting styles and borderline personality features among middle school students remains unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the moderating influence of emotional regulation strategies in the relationship between negative parenting styles and borderline personality features among middle school students， and to provide references for the intervention of borderline personality features. MethodsIn October 2023， a total of 5 965 middle school students from three middle schools in Nanning， Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were selected by cluster sampling， and assessed by the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children （BPFS-C）， the Egna Minnen Barndoms Uppfostran （EMBU）， and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Chinese Revised Version （ERQ-CRV）. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between the scores of each scale， and the model 1 of the Process macro program was used to conduct the moderating effect test. ResultsA total of 5 572 middle school students （93.41%） completed this study， and 1 388 of them （24.91%） were identified as having high borderline personality features. The BPFS-C score of middle school students was positively correlated with the score of the negative parenting style dimension of EMBU （r=0.367， P<0.01）， negatively correlated with the score of the cognitive reappraisal dimension of ERQ-CRV （r=-0.168， P<0.01）， and positively correlated with the score of the expression inhibition dimension of ERQ-CRV （r=0.344， P<0.01）. Cognitive reappraisal played a negative moderating effect between negative parenting styles and borderline personality features （β=-0.072， 95% CI： -0.104–-0.041， P<0.01）， while expressive suppression played a positive moderating effect （β=0.076， 95% CI： 0.055–0.097， P<0.01）. ConclusionCognitive reappraisal strategy may help mitigate the negative influence of negative parenting styles on middle school students' borderline personality features， while expressive suppression may exacerbate the harm of negative parenting styles to the borderline personality features of middle school students.

Objective To explore the predictive value of fat attenuation index(FAI)and fibrous plaque index(FPI)for the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 334 ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University and Yongchuan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from March 2021 to July 2023.All patients received coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)to measure FAI and FPI.According to the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)with 1 year of follow-up,they were divided into MACE group(n=108)and non-MACE group(n=226).The baseline data,CCTA data and results of laboratory tests were collected and compared between the 2 groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship of FAI and FPI with the prognosis of ACS patients,and ROC curve was drawn to evaluate its predictive efficiency.Results Among the 334 ACS patients,108(32.34%)experienced MACE.When compared with the non-MACE group,the MACE group exhibited significantly larger proportions of diabetes(72.22%vs 31.86%)and left main coronary artery disease(18.52%vs 7.08%),but lower success rate of operation(79.63%vs 93.81%,P<0.05).Radiologic results showed that the proportion of severe stenosis(20.37%vs 10.62%),FAI(-80.12±6.41 HU vs-72.34±7.09 HU)and FPI(0.58±0.41 vs 0.26±0.12)were obviously increased in the MACE group than the non-MACE group(P<0.05).Laboratory tests indicated that there were statistical differences between the 2 groups in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C,1.20±0.15 vs 1.09±0.16 mmol/L),miR-126(0.91±0.12 vs 0.96±0.15)and SST2(38.45±5.67 vs 34.30±4.89 ng/mL,P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that FAI(OR=1.200,95%CI:1.136～1.268),FPI(OR=63.157,95%CI:14.126～282.374),moderate stenosis(OR=1.332,95%CI:1.024～1.859),severe stenosis(OR=1.480,95%CI:1.074～2.039),miR-126(OR=0.007,95%CI:0.001～0.077),and sST2(OR=1.192,95%CI:1.113～1.277)were independent predictors of MACE(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis displayed that stenosis degree(AUC=0.622,95%CI:0.561～0.683,P=0.001),FAI(AUC=0.790,95%CI:0.741～0.839,P=0.001)and FPI(AUC=0.700,95%CI:0.638～0.761,P=0.001),miR-126(AUC=0.646,95%CI:0.584～0.707,P=0.001),sST2(AUC=0.700,95%CI:0.638～0.761,P=0.001)had certain predictive values for ACS prognosis.Conclusion Coronary FAI and FPI can be used as independent prognostic indicators of ACS patients,and their numerical changes are closely related to plaque stability and inflammatory state.

Objective To observe the value of AcoStream thrombus aspiration catheter for treating intermediate-high risk acute pulmonary embolism(APE).Methods Twenty-six patients with intermediate-high risk APE who underwent treatment with AcoStream thrombus aspiration catheter were retrospectively collected.The immediate technical success rate,procedure success rate and thrombus clearance rate of target vessels were recorded,as well as clinical success rate and complications in perioperative period and the recurrence of pulmonary embolism(PE)during follow-up.Results Among 26 patients with intermediate-high risk APE,the immediate technical success rate was 100%(26/26),the procedure success rate was 92.31%(24/26),and the immediate thrombus clearance rate of target vessels was 63.37%as median,including 16 cases(16/26,61.54%)achieved thrombus clearance rate grade Ⅱ or above.The perioperative period clinical success rate of treating intermediate-high risk APE was 96.15%(25/26).Two patients experienced transient arrhythmia and other 2 patients experienced worsening transient chest tightness during the procedure,and 1 case developed hematoma at the puncture site after treatment.During follow-up,no recurrence of symptomatic PE was observed.Conclusion AcoStream thrombus aspiration catheter was safe and effective for treating intermediate-high risk APE,worthy clinical promotion and application.

Objective To evaluate the application value of fascial platform versus commercial platform in transumbilical single-port laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair(TAPP)for inguinal hernia.Methods One hundred patients with inguinal hernia admitted between January and December 2024 were prospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to either the fascial platform group(n=50)or the commercial platform group(n=50)by using a random number table.The following parameters were compared between the two groups:platform establishment time,operative time,intraoperative blood loss,incision suture time,operative difficulty score,camera manipulation difficulty score,postoperative 24-hour Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score of pain,postoperative hospital stay,total hospitalization cost,comprehensive satisfaction score,and postoperative complications.Results The fascial platform group demonstrated significantly superior outcomes compared to the commercial platform group in platform establishment time[(3.4±1.0)min vs.(8.1±1.5)min,t=-18.389,P＜0.001],operative time[(67.5±7.9)min vs.(72.2±11.5)min,t=-2.380,P=0.019],intraoperative blood loss[(8.3±4.3)ml vs.(11.1±5.7)ml,t=-2.798,P=0.006],incision suture time[(7.0±1.4)min vs.(11.8±2.7)min,t=-11.212,P＜0.001],operative difficulty score(14.4±3.6 vs.23.1±4.1,t=-11.215,P＜0.001),camera manipulation difficulty score(11.4±2.6 vs.18.3±2.5,t=-13.370,P＜0.001),VAS score of postoperative 24-hour pain(2.4±1.0 vs.3.7±1.1,t=-6.139,P＜0.001),total hospitalization cost[(15.8±1.6)thousand yuan vs.(18.3±1.6)thousand yuan,t=-7.841,P＜0.001],and comprehensive satisfaction score(7.3±1.1 vs.6.3±1.0,t=5.271,P＜0.001).However,there were no statistically significant differences in postoperative hospital stay or postoperative complication between the two groups(P＞0.05).All the patients were followed up for 1-12 months postoperatively[(5.3±1.8)months vs.(5.7±2.0)months,t=-0.945,P=0.347],with no recurrence observed in either group.Conclusions Both fascial platform and commercial platform can be used for transumbilical single-port TAPP.The fascial platform offers advantages including shorter platform establishment time,reduced incision suture time,lower operative and camera manipulation difficulty,decreased cost,less postoperative pain,and higher patient satisfaction.

Purpose: This study assessed the performance of the ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter (UGAP) in diagnosing and grading hepatic steatosis in patients with metabolic dysfunctionassociated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) served as the reference standard. Methods: Patients with hepatic steatosis were enrolled in this prospective study and underwent UGAP measurements. MRI-PDFF values of ≥5%, ≥15%, and ≥25% were used as references for the diagnosis of steatosis grades ≥S1, ≥S2, and S3, respectively. Spearman correlation coefficients and area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) were calculated. Results: Between July 2023 and June 2024, the study included 88 patients (median age, 40 years; interquartile range [IQR], 36 to 46 years), of whom 54.5% (48/88) were men and 45.5% (40/88) were women. Steatosis grades exhibited the following distribution: 22.7% (20/88) had S0, 50.0% (44/88) had S1, 21.6% (19/88) had S2, and 5.7% (5/88) had S3. The success rate for UGAP measurements was 100%. The median UGAP value was 0.74 dB/cm/MHz (IQR, 0.65 to 0.82 dB/ cm/MHz), and UGAP values were positively correlated with MRI-PDFF (r=0.77, P<0.001). The AUCs of UGAP for the diagnoses of ≥S1, ≥S2, and S3 steatosis were 0.91, 0.90, and 0.88, respectively. In the subgroup analysis, 98.4% (60/61) of patients had valid controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) values. UGAP measurements were positively correlated with CAP values (r=0.65, P<0.001). Conclusion Using MRI-PDFF as the reference standard, UGAP demonstrates good diagnostic performance in the detection and grading of hepatic steatosis in patients with MASLD.

To enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the baicalin-berberine complex(BA-BBR) in the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC), BA-BBR nanocrystal microspheres(BA-BBR NC MS) were prepared using the dropping method. The microspheres were characterized in terms of morphology, particle size, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), and powder X-ray diffraction(XRD). The release profiles of BA and BBR from the microspheres were measured, and the drug release mechanism was investigated. A rat model of UC was induced by 5% dextran sodium sulfate(DSS) and treated continuously for 7 days to evaluate the therapeutic effects of different formulations. The results showed that the prepared BA-BBR MS and BA-BBR NC MS were uniform gel spheres with particle sizes of(1.77±0.16) mm and(1.67±0.08) mm, respectively. After drying, the gels collapsed inward and exhibited a rough surface. During the preparation process, the BA-BBR nanocrystals(BA-BBR NC) were uniformly encapsulated within the microspheres. The release profiles of the microspheres followed a first-order kinetic model, and the 12-hour cumulative release of BA and BBR from BA-BBR NC MS was higher than that from BA-BBR MS. Compared with BA-BBR, BA-BBR NC, and BA-BBR MS, BA-BBR NC MS further alleviated UC symptoms in rats, most significantly reducing the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and MPO, while increasing the level of IL-4 in colon tissues. These results indicate that BA-BBR NC MS, based on a "nano-in-micro" design, can deliver BA-BBR to the intestine and exert significant therapeutic effects in a UC rat model, suggesting it as a promising new strategy for the treatment of UC.
