ObjectiveTo analyze the suicidal behavior in hospitalized patients with major depression and its influencing factors. MethodsA total of 1 000 patients with major depression admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to July 2021 were selected as the research subjects to investigate the status quo of suicidal behavior of the enrolled patients. According to the survey results， the patients were divided into suicidal behavior group and non-suicidal behavior group， and the related factors affecting their suicidal behavior. ResultsA total of 511 cases （51.10%） of the patients with major depression committed suicide in hospital， including 271 cases （27.10%） of suicidal ideation， 186 cases （18.60%） of attempted suicide， and 54 cases （5.40%） of suicide death. 489 patients （48.90%） did not commit suicide. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age， gender， marital status， loss of interest or pleasure， anxiety， sense of worthlessness or self-guilt， sleep status， personality， depressive episodes and paranoia between the suicidal behavior group and the non-suicidal behavior group （all P<0.05）. Logistic multifactorial regression analysis showed that age ≤28 years （OR=1.54）， female （OR=1.93）， anxiety （OR=1.61）， sense of worthlessness or self-guilt （OR=1.85） and paranoia （OR=2.15） were all independent predictors of suicidal behavior in the patients with major depression. ConclusionThe incidence of nosocomial suicide in patients with major depression is high. Early onset age， female， anxiety， sense of worthlessness or self-guilt， more depressive episodes and paranoia are independent risk predictors of suicide in patients with major depression. This finding can be used for clinical intervention to reduce the occurrence of suicide in patients.

Myocardial fibrosis is a common pathological manifestation of various heart diseases,with hidden onset and the possibility of evolving into irreversible heart failure.Currently,there is still insufficient diagnosis and treatment of myocardial fibrosis.Traditional Chinese medicine can regulate myocardial fibrosis at multiple levels,targets,and pathways,and has significant advantages in treating myocardial fibrosis.Its underlying mechanisms are worth further exploration.The theory of"yang generating qi,yin constituting the body"in Huangdi Neijing embodies the meaning of yin and yang,containing a profound outlook on life and disease.Pathological changes in the initial,progressive,and final stages of myocardial fibrosis conform to the yin-yang theory of"yang generating qi,yin constituting the body".Insufficient yang generating qi and excessive yin constituting the body constitutes the core pathogenesis of myocardial fibrosis.This article proposes a treatment approach for myocardial fibrosis by tonifying yang and abating yin.The treatment of warming yang,unblocking yang,removing blood stasis,resolving phlegm,detoxifying,and promoting diuresis is applied to broaden the clinical treatment approach for myocardial fibrosis.

This paper systematically analyzed the ancient monographs of acupuncture and moxibustion and comprehensive medical books from pre-Qin to 1911， and extracted the data according to the etiology and pathogenesis， treatment principles and methods， acupoint selection， needling and moxibustion， and taboos of needling and moxibustion. The pathogenesis of migraine in ancient books and documents is summarized as "the causes are diverse， and phlegm-dampness is the majority". For treatment， the features include "needling has a sequence， and the root and the branch should be treated separately" and "focusing on tonifying deficiency and drain excess". It is also obtained of the rich ideas of acupoints selection， extensive application records of moxibustion， unique application of bloodletting therapy and clear explanation of acupuncture and moxibustion taboos. All mentioned above is expected to enrich the ideas and methods of modern migraine treatment and improve the clinical effects.

Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with multivessel disease is one of the high-risk types of coronary heart disease.Early opening of infarct-related artery and reperfusion of myocardium could significantly reduce the mortality in acute phase.However,the presence of non-culprit lesions in non-infarct-related arteries is still at risk and has an important impact on the long-term prognosis of patients.It remains controversial on how to precisely evaluate the clinical significance and revascularization value of non-culprit lesions.This article aims to review the research status and progress of guidance strategies of non-culprit lesion revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease.

Purpose To investigate the predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomic features before treatment for progression free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Materials and Methods A total of 135 patients with pathologically proven DLBCL in Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging prior to treatment were retrospectively collected.Patients were randomly divided into training set and test set using 8∶2,and then the training set was divided into training set and verification set using 8∶2 to construct the model.Semi-automatically delineated patients'lymphoma lesions as regions of interest and extracted the features.Univariate COX and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were used to screen the features,and the non-zero radiomic features were obtained and the weight coefficients were used to calculate the Radscore value of each patient,and the predictive value of Radscore on PFS and OS was analyzed.Three models were established using traditional prognostic indicators(metabolic parameters and clinical factors),Radscore and combination.C-index,time-dependent area under the curve and decision curve were used to evaluate the model prediction efficiency.Finally,based on the optimal model,a column diagram was drawn,and the calibration curve was used to verify the efficiency of the column diagram.Results The combined model predicted PFS and OS at 3 and 5 years better than the traditional prognostic index model and Radscore model(Z=0.962 1-2.253 9,all P<0.05).Decision curve showed that the combined model achieved the greatest clinical net benefit.The calibration curve showed that the predicted values of the nomogram were in good agreement with the observed values.Conclusion Radscore is an independent prognostic factor for survival in DLBCL patients.The combined model has great application value in guiding the formulation of clinical individualized treatment plan.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the levels of CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) and periostin (POSTN) in serum and alveolar lavage fluid of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with respiratory virus infection and lung function.Methods:From March 2020 to March 2023, 96 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD admitted to our hospital were collected. Among them, 34 patients with concurrent respiratory virus infection were included in the infected group, and 62 patients without respiratory virus infection were included in the uninfected group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect the expression levels of CCL2 and POSTN in serum and alveolar lavage fluid. Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between CCL2 and POSTN levels in serum and alveolar lavage fluid of infected patients and lung function indicators.Results:The levels of CCL 2 ( t=12.633, 9.253 2, 2) and POSTN ( t=12.370, 7.383) were significantly increased in the infected group compared with the uninfected group ( P<0.05). Compared with the uninfected group, the 6-minute walking test (6 MWT), peak expiratory flow rate (peak expiratory flow, PEF), forced expiratory volume at the first second (forced expiratory volume in one second, FEV 1), and the forced lung capacity (forced vital capacity, FVC), FEV 1/FVC, and maximum middle breath mean flow rate (maximal mid-expiratory flow curve, MMEF) were significantly lower ( t=14.141, 24.165, 22.421, 21.223, 5.278, 29.456, P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the levels of CCL2 and POSTN in the serum and alveolar lavage fluid of the infected group were negatively correlated with the levels of 6MWT, PEF, FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, and MMEF ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CCL2 and POSTN levels were highly expressed in serum and alveolar lavage fluid of patients with respiratory virus infection during acute exacerbation of COPD, which were closely related to lung function.

Root canal therapy is the primary treatment method for pulpal and periapical diseases.Various advanced endodontic instruments for mechanical preparation have been marketed.The emergence of nickel-titanium rotary instru-ments has greatly improved the efficiency of root canal preparation.New demands have been put forward for nickel-tita-nium rotary instruments as a result of the deepening of clinicians'awareness of root canal anatomy system as well as the purpose and prognosis of root canal treatment.These clinical-oriented demands accelerate instrument reform and innova-tion.This work presents new marketed nickel-titanium systems and discusses the advantages and limitations of these sys-tems and how they perform in terms of the efficiency and outcome of root canal preparation.

Objective:To investigate the image quality, radiation dose, and diagnostic efficiency of the regimen of GE 256-slice Revolution CT low-dose scanning, combined with an individualized contrast agent, in the assessment of coronary in-stent restenosis.Methods:A total of 120 patients (with 142 stents) treated with coronary stent implantation at the Beijing Renhe Hospital from August 2020 to August 2022 were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into an observation group (60 cases with 70 stents) and a conventional group (60 cases with 72 stents) using the random number table method. Both groups received GE 256-slice Revolution CT examinations. Patients in the conventional group were injected with 70 ml of iopromide as a contrast agent each, while those in the observation group were given individualized doses based on their body mass indices (BMIs). A tube voltage of 120 kV and a tube current of 534 mA were applied to the conventional group, whereas the tube voltage and current for the observation group were adjusted within the ranges of 80-120 kV and 150-534 mAs based on patients’ BMIs. Both groups received coronary angiography 7-14 d after coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Finally, the CT image quality, radiation dose, iodine intake, and diagnostic efficiency were compared between the two groups.Results:Both groups exhibited no significant differences in CT values, contrast-to-noise ratios, blooming artifacts, and stent diameters of the left main coronary artery ( P > 0.05). The conventional group manifested higher CT dose index, CT dose length product, effective dose, and iodine intake compared to the observation group ( t = 10.30, 8.75, 10.27, 4.60, P < 0.05). With coronary angiography result as the gold standard, the observation and conventional groups yielded Kappa values of 0.904 and 0.879, respectively, suggesting high consistency in diagnostic performance. Additionally, the two groups demonstrated nonsignificant differences in sensitivity and specificity ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:The regimen of GE 256-slice Revolution CT low-dose scanning, combined with an individualized contrast agent, yielding image quality and diagnostic efficiency equivalent to those of the conventional regimen, can effectively reduce radiation dose and iodine intake. Therefore, this regimen merits wide applicability.

Objective:To investigate the application value of virtual reality laparoscopic simulator training in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP).Methods:The prospective cohort study was conducted. Twenty young physicians from The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University with ≥3 years of clinical experience in general surgery and no foundation in laparoscopy were selected for training during July to August 2023. Physicians were divided into two groups based on random number table method. Physicians undergoing virtual reality laparoscopic simulator training were divided into the virtual reality group, and physicians undergoing regular laparoscopic simulator training were divided into the regular group. Two groups of physicians were trained using laparoscopic simulator for 10 days (2 hours for each skill, with a total of 6 hours per day for 3 skills), and the training covered basic laparoscopic surgical skills such as clamping, cutting and suturing and knotting. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups were conducted using the independent sample t test and the paired ttest was used for intra group comparison. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups were conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1) Physicians situation before training. A total of 20 physicians were selected for eligibility. There were 13 males and 7 females, aged 31(range, 30?34)years. There are 7 males and 3 females in the virtual reality group, with age of (31.5±1.4)years and the TAPP simulation surgery time of (42±4)minutes before training. There are 6 male and 4 female students in the regular group, with age of (31.2±1.0)years and the TAPP simulation surgery time of (42±4)minutes before training. There was no significant difference in gender, age, TAPP simulation surgery time between the two groups of physicians ( P>0.05), confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Basic skills of physicians before and after training. For physicians in the virtual reality group, the clamping score was 5.1±1.0, the cutting score was 4.9±1.0, the suturing and knotting score was 4.7±1.5 before training. The clamping score was 8.0±1.3, the cutting score was 7.9±1.5, the suturing and knotting score was 6.6±1.3 after training. There were significant differences in the above indicators before and after training ( t=?5.75, ?5.21, ?3.07, P<0.05). For physicians in the regular group, the clamping score was 5.3±1.0, the cutting score was 5.0±1.2, the suturing and knotting score was 4.3±1.5 before training. The clamping score was 7.1±1.2, the cutting score was 6.7±1.3, the suturing and knotting score was 5.7±1.1 after training. There were significant differences in the above indicators before and after training ( t=?3.73, ?3.16, ?2.42, P<0.05). (3) Completion of simulated surgical situations before and after training. The time of completing TAPP simulation surgery for virtual reality group after training was (29±3)minutes, versus (42±4)minutes before training, showing a significant difference before and after training ( t=7.69, P<0.05). The time of completing TAPP simulation surgery for regular group after training was (36±4)minutes, versus (42±4)minutes before training, showing a significant difference before and after training ( t=3.75, P<0.05). The time of completing TAPP simulation surgery of virtual reality group after training was shorter than that of regular group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( t=?3.89, P<0.05). Conclusion:Both of virtual reality and regular laparoscopic simulator can enhance the basic laparoscopic surgical skills and the proficiency of TAPP simulation surgery of physicians, and the training effect of virtual reality laparoscopic simulators is better.
