Objective:
To analyze factors impacting mental health status of medical students based on ecological systems theory, so as to provide reference for the mental health promotion system for medical students.
Methods:
In June 2024, 1 760 medical school students randomly selected from 19 different kinds of medical colleges in eastern China by stratified cluster were surveyed using questionnaires and expert interviews. Descriptive statistics, cross analysis, hierarchical linear regression analysis, structural equation models were used for data analysis.
Results:
Medical school students had higher satisfaction with the school (65.85%) and a great sense of perceived social support (57.16%). Furthermore, 91.14% of the students had normal interpersonal relationships. However, 44.89% reported that their mental health was impacted by high level of depression. The hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that the mental health outcomes of the medical students were positively predicted by higher perceived social support scores ( β =-11.40), institutional satisfaction ( β =-4.85 ), and lower help seeking stigma scores ( β =9.31) ( P <0.05). The structural equation modeling showed that the status of both perceived social support and self help seeking stigma had significant impacts on depression severity ( β =-0.32, -0.53) and interpersonal relationship sensitivity ( β =-0.31, 0.58) among medical students ( P <0.01).Through expert interviews, collaborations between the school and the tripartite organization (families, universities and society) was of growing importance.
Conclusions
Perceived social support and self stigma have a significant impact on the mental health status of medical students. The problem of self stigma of medical students should be paid attention to. Therefore, families, universities and society should work together to improve the mental health of medical students.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Shugan Quyu Jiedu prescription (SGQYJDF) on inducing ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells based on the tumor protein 53 (p53)/solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway. MethodMHCC97H cells were divided into the blank serum group (10% blank serum medium), SGQYJDF-containing serum low concentration group (5% SGQYJDF-containing serum and 5% blank serum medium), SGQYJDF-containing serum medium concentration group (7.5% SGQYJDF-containing serum and 2.5% blank serum medium), SGQYJDF-containing serum high concentration group (10% SGQYJDF-containing serum medium) and sorafenib group (sorafenib concentration of 10 μmol·L-1 in 10% blank serum medium). After 24 hours of intervention, the cell survival rate was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The cell proliferation ability was detected by 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining. The intracellular ferrous ion (Fe2+) level was detected by ferrous ion fluorescent probe (FerroOrange) staining. The intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were detected by colorimetric assays. The ultrastructure of mitochondria was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins p53, SLC7A11 and GPX4 were detected by Western blot. ResultIn terms of cell viability, compared with the blank serum group, the SGQYJDF group showed a dose-dependent decrease in the survival rate of MHCC97H cells. Effect of the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF on the survival rate of MHCC97H cells were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Additionally, the results of the EdU assay showed that both the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF were able to inhibit the proliferation ability of MHCC97H cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). Regarding the biochemical indicators of ferroptosis, compared to the blank serum group, the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF were able to dose-dependently increase the intracellular Fe2+ level (P<0.01). The low, medium, and high concentrations of SGQYJDF were able to dose-dependently decrease the level of GSH in MHCC97H cells (P<0.01) and increase the level of MDA in the cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). In terms of pathway-related protein expression, compared to the blank serum group, the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF could significantly increase the expression of p53 (P<0.01). The low, medium, and high concentrations of SGQYJDF could significantly decrease the expression of GPX4 (P<0.01). The high concentration of SGQYJDF could decrease the expression of SLC7A11 (P<0.01). In terms of the cell morphology of ferroptosis, compared with the blank serum group, transmission electron microscopy revealed that the low concentration of SGQYJDF caused mitochondrial deformation, while the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF resulted in reduced mitochondrial volume, increased double-layer membrane density, and decreased mitochondrial cristae. These features were similar to those of sorafenib-induced ferroptosis. Furthermore, compared with the sorafenib group, the high concentration of SGQYJDF showed no statistically significant differences in cell survival rate, proliferation ability, Fe2+ level, MDA level, and GSH level. ConclusionThe results suggest that SGQYJDF may induce ferroptosis and inhibit proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma MHCC97H cells by upregulating the expression of p53, suppressing the expressions of GPX4 and SLC7A11, downregulating the level of GSH, and leading to the accumulation of intracellular Fe2+ and MDA.

Patients with primary membranous nephropathy(PMN)tend to develop thrombosis,especially in the early phase of the disease.The pathogenesis of thrombosis is multifactorial,with hypoalbuminemia being widely regarded as an inde-pendent risk factor.Other factors include proteinuria,M-type phospholipase A2 receptor antibody,and D-dimer.Although prophy-lactic anticoagulation therapy is frequently used in clinical practice to prevent thrombosis in PMN patients,there are still many un-resolved issues regarding the optimal prevention of thrombosis in this condition.The timing of prophylactic anticoagulation,the threshold of serum albumin level,and the choice of treatment regimen are still lacking consensus.This article reviewed the relevant literature on these topics,aiming to establish a standard for thrombosis prevention and treatment for this population in the future and provide guidance for clinical practice.

Based on the discussions in the The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), it is proposed that in the course of the disease, "bind" represents the initial stage of pulmonary nodules, while "accumulation" represents the final form. In terms of the pathogenesis, "two colds interacting" represented by "body cold" and "cold fluid retention" are the prerequisites for the formation of pulmonary nodules, while "disorder of qi" represented by "fainting" is the core of the formation. The specific manifestation is the disturbance of pivot of shaoyang (少阳) or shaoyin (少阴), resulting in a complex of cold and heat, and then phlegm and stasis are suddenly generated and further formed into nodules. Therefore, the treatment principle should be to regulate the cardinal mechanism, dissolve phlegm and blood stasis. Depending on the complex degree of cold and heat, it is suggested to use Chaihu Guizhi Decoction (柴胡桂枝汤), Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction (柴胡桂枝干姜汤), or Chaihu Xianxiong Decoction (柴胡陷胸汤) for disturbance of shaoyang pivot, while for shaoyin pivot dysfunction, modified Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction (麻黄附子细辛汤) or Shengjiang Powder (升降散) can be used.

ObjectiveTo investigate the tumor inhibition effect and mechanism of Yifei Sanjie Pills (益肺散结丸, YSP) on lung cancer. MethodsLewis lung cancer tumor-derived mice were established and divided into four groups including model control group, cisplatin group, cisplatin + YSP low-dose group and cisplatin + YSP high-dose group, with 12 mice in each group. The corresponding interventions were given for 14 days. The tumor volume was measured on the 0th, 3rd, 7th, 10th and 14th days of administration to evaluate the tumor growth. The plasma and tumor tissue were collected on the 15th day. Plasma from the model group, the cisplatin group and the cisplatin+YSP high-dose group were selected, and plasma exosomes were extracted; the differences in miRNA expression among the groups were detected and analyzed by second-generation sequencing technology, and the potential mechanism of action of YSP was investigated by principal component analysis, biofunctional enrichment analysis and miRNA-target gene regulatory network analysis. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-615-3p in tumor tissues, and the relationship between miRNA-615-3p and overall survival of lung cancer were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier plotter (kmplot.com) database. ResultsCompared to that of the model control group, the tumor volume of the cisplatin group on day 10, and the cisplatin + YSP low- and high-dose groups on day 7, 10, and 14 were significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to that of the cisplatin group, the tumor volume of the cisplatin + YSP low- and high-dose groups on day 10 and 14 was significantly reduced (P<0.05). The principal component analysis of miRNA expression profiles showed significant differences in miRNA expression between different intervention groups. There were 21 differentially expressed miRNAs between the model control group and the cisplatin group, 50 differentially expressed miRNAs between the model control group and the cisplatin+ YSP high-dose group, and 6 differentially expressed miRNAs between the cisplatin group and the cisplatin+ YSP high-dose group. Biological function enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly involved in the regulation of signaling pathways related to cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, autophagy and other biological activities. The miRNA-target gene regulatory network showed the top 20 genes that were targeted, among which there were proven miRNAs and genes related to lung cancer, and miRNAs that needed further investigation. The expression of miRNA-615-3p in tumor tissues decreased significantly in the cisplatin group and cisplatin+YSP high-dose group compared to that of the model group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The miRNA-615-3p was negatively correlated with the survival prognosis of lung cancer(P<0.05). ConclusionCisplatin combined with YSP can effectively inhibit the proliferation of Lewis lung cancer tumors, and the tumor-suppressive effect is related to the regulation of multiple miRNAs, especially the downregulation of miRNA-615-3p expression.

Objective·To investigate the relation between urinary excretion of protein-bound uremic toxins(PBUTs)and upper urinary tract calculus.Methods·Residents aged 18?80 years in the community of Haitou,Danzhou city in Hainan Province were recruited.Basic information and diet for the last 3 d of the subjects were recorded.Their fasting sera and 24-hour urine samples were collected,and they also underwent ultrasound examination of kidneys and ureters.The subjects with upper urinary calculi detected by ultrasound or a clear history of upper urinary calculi were selected as the calculus group,and the others as the non-calculus group.The biochemical indicators related to the formation of calculus in blood and urine were detected,and the levels of PBUTs,including indoxyl sufate(IS),indole-3-acetic acid(IAA),and p-cresol sulfate(PCS)in blood and urine,as well as oxalic acid and citric acid in urine were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography.The related factors of upper urinary tract calculus formation were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.The correlations of urine PBUTs with urine uric acid,oxalic acid,and citric acid were analyzed by Spearman correlation test.Results·A total of 117 participants were screened out with 54 people in the calculus group and 63 people in the non-calculus group.There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender,age,serum indicators,and prevalence of complications such as hypertension,diabetes,and hyperuricemia/gout.The 24-hour urine pH,calcium,uric acid,and chlorine in the calculus group were significantly higher than those in the non-calculus group(all P<0.05),while IS was significantly lower than that in the non-calculus group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that urinary IS(OR=0.929,95%CI 0.875?0.986,P=0.016)was related to the calculus formation independently,in addition to urinary calcium.The Spearman correlation analysis results showed that the levels of IAA(r=0.420,P=0.000)and PCS(r=0.307,P=0.001)in 24-hour urine were positively correlated with oxalic acid,PCS was positively correlated with uric acid(r=0.297,P=0.002),and IS was positively correlated with citric acid(r=0.289,P=0.002).Conclusion·In the population,a decrease in urinary excretion of IS may be an independent risk factor for the formation of upper urinary tract calculus,and PBUTs levels are correlated with levels of uric acid,oxalic acid,and citric acid.
