Objective:
To understand the dynamic temporal evolution pathways of Internet addiction among university students and to identify the core driving nodes, so as to provide theoretical evidences for the precise implementation of targeted interventions.
Methods:
Using a convenient cluster sampling method, a total of 1 066 full time freshmen and sophomores were recruited from three universities in Guizhou, Jiangxi, and Guangdong Provinces for a follow up survey (T1:January-March 2024; T2:January-March 2025). The Revised Chen Internet Addiction Scale (CIAS-R) was employed to assess the status of Internet addiction among university students, and cross sectional as well as cross lagged panel network models were constructed to analyze Internet addiction and its multidimensional influencing factors.
Results:
The T1 network comprised 19 nodes and 114 non zero edges, while the T2 network comprised 19 nodes and 126 non zero edges. Cross sectional network analysis revealed the strongest association between "insufficient sleep" and "daytime fatigue"; the core nodes were "first thought upon waking for going online" and "feeling low after disconnection" (characteristics of psychological dependence) at T1, while the core nodes shifted to "impaired health" and "excitement when online" (characteristics of functional impairment and addictive psychodynamic features) at T2. Cross lagged network analysis further indicated that "reduced leisure" directly predicted "sleep compression", and a bidirectional relationship was observed between "needing more time to achieve satisfaction" and "academic decline".
Conclusions
Internet addiction among university students exhibits dynamic evolutionary characteristics. Stage specific targeted interventions focusing on core driving nodes are needed, integrating behavioral regulation and academic support to break the vicious cycle and enhancing the ability to cope with real life demands.

Objective:To explore the clinical application and triage management value of using blood circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) (cysteine dioxygenase type 1 gene, CDO1, and Homeobox protein A9 gene, HOXA9) hypermethylation level to detect and diagnose ovarian cancer.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on patients who went for surgery at Chengdu Womens and Childrens Central Hospital from November 2022 to October 2023. Blood samples were collected before surgery for evaluation of cancer antigen 125 (CA125), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) score, and DNA methylation testing. The basic clinical information, biomarkers, and transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) information were collected simultaneously. Information from a total of 151 patients was collected, including 122 cases with benign pathology and 29 ovarian cancer cases. The pathologic diagnosis of ovarian tissue was defined as the gold standard. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify high-risk factors for ovarian cancer. The clinical efficacy of DNA methylation detection for ovarian cancer was analyzed using the area under curve (AUC).Results:The results showed that the age, menopausal status, CA125 and HE4 detection, ROMA score, positivity rate of CDO1 gene and HOXA9 gene single or combined testing in ovarian cancer patients were higher than those in the benign group and showed significant differences ( P<0.05). Among these detection protocols, the AUC of CDO1 and HOXA9 dual gene methylation testing for ovarian cancer was the highest at 0.936 (95% CI, 0.878-0.994), with 89.7% (95% CI 73.6%-96.4%) sensitivity and 97.5% (95% CI 93.0%-99.2%) specificity, respectively. The positive detection rate of CDO1 and HOXA9 dual gene methylation in early ovarian cancer FOGO I-II stage is 12/14 higher than other tests. Conclusion:Blood cfDNA methylation detection, a simple, non-invasive, and highly sensitive detection method, is superior to the current ovarian cancer testing in the risk assessment and early detection.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of streamlined modular teaching based on the organ system in standardized residency training in emergency medicine.Methods:We enrolled residents on standardized training in the Second Clinical College of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from July 2020 to July 2021. They were randomly divided in a 1∶1 ratio into conventional group (25 trainees, adopting a traditional standardized teaching method) and modular group (25 trainees, adopting streamlined modular teaching based on the organ system in addition to the method of the conventional group). At the end of training, all the trainees were assessed for academic performance and teaching-related indicators through an exam and questionnaire survey, and the teachers were surveyed for the degree of satisfaction with the teaching method. Data were analyzed by the t-test and chi-squared test using SPSS 21.0 software. Results:The modular group had a significantly higher total final exam score than the conventional group [(93.52±0.49) vs. (84.44±0.57), t=12.02, P<0.001]. Specifically, the modular group had significantly higher scores than the conventional group in emergency medicine theory, medical history taking and writing, physical examination and procedures, interpretation of examination results, and treatment and management ( t=3.62, 4.29, 4.22, 10.09, 7.56, all P<0.001). The modular group was also superior to the conventional group in terms of teaching-related indicators (all P<0.05). All participating teachers were satisfied with the new teaching method. Conclusions:The streamlined modular teaching method based on the organ system is beneficial for the standardized training of residents in emergency medicine, which is worthy of promotion.

OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of placental polypeptide on the Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3)/ Notch signaling pathway in rats with cyclophosphamide-induced premature ovarian failure (POF), and its effects on ovarian function and oxidative stress. METHODS A POF rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide. Sixty POF rats of the model were randomly assigned to model group, low-dose (1 mg/kg) and high-dose (2 mg/kg) placental polypeptide groups, placental polypeptide plus empty vector group [placental polypeptide (2 mg/kg), empty vector (1 μg)], and placental polypeptide plus RUNX3 silencing group [placental polypeptide (2 mg/kg), RUNX3 small interfering RNA (1 μg)], with 12 rats in each group. Additionally, 12 healthy rats were selected as a control group. The intervention lasted for 4 weeks for all groups. After the final administration, the levels of sex hormones [estradiol (E2), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH)] in rat serum and oxidative stress indicators [malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reactive oxygen species (ROS)] in ovarian tissue were measured. The pathology of rat ovarian tissue and apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells were examined; the expression of apoptosis-related proteins [caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax)and RUNX3/Notch signaling pathway-related proteins in rat ovarian tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the low and high doses of placental polypeptide groups showed an increase in the number of normal follicles and a marked decrease in the number of atretic follicles, with significant increases in the serum levels of E2 and AMH, the ovarian tissue levels of SOD and CAT, as well as the expression levels of Bcl-2, RUNX3 and Notch1 proteins, and significant decreases in the serum FSH levels, the ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis rate, and the ovarian tissue levels of MDA and ROS, as well as the expression levels of cleaved-caspase-3, caspase-3 and Bax proteins (P<0.05); the changes in the high-dose group were significantly more pronounced (P<0.05). Compared with the high-dose placental polypeptide group and the placental polypeptide plus empty vector group, the placental polypeptide plus RUNX3 silencing group showed a decrease in the number of normal follicles and a significant reversal of the above indicators (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Placental polypeptide may alleviate the symptoms of rats with POF by upregulating the RUNX3/Notch signaling pathway, improving sex hormone secretion, oxidative stress, ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis and ovarian function.

National health standards involve all kinds of technical requirements formulated and numbered in accordance with the procedures and formats stipulated in the standardisation system for the implementation of national health and hygiene laws, regulations and policies, and the protection of human health. The establishment of health standards in China should align with our legal framework, including laws, regulations, departmental rules, and health and hygiene policies. During the development of these standards, a comprehensive approach is advocated, encompassing in-depth investigations, rigorous demonstrations, and extensive stakeholder engagement. However, the process of standard formulation may suffer from insufficient research evidence. The evidence-based concept emphasizes the significance of evidence. Therefore, integrating evidence-based concept into the process of developing health standards can enhance the quality and scientific basis of these standards. This article systematically elucidates the current status and development process of health standards in China, explores the necessity and feasibility of incorporating evidence-based concept into the development of these standards, analyzes the challenges and opportunities, and presents reflections and suggestions.
