Objective: To understand the interrelationships of parental control, peer relationship, and aggressive behavior in junior high school students, in order to provide a theoretical basis for preventing the occurrence of adolescent aggressive behavior. Methods: During June to July, 2022, 2 564 students of grade one to grade three were selected from 6 junior high schools from each of Suzhou and Xuancheng cities in Anhui Province by using convenient cluster random sampling method, and then the questionnaire survey was administered, including the Chinese version of Parent Control Questionnaire, Chinese version of Buss & Perry Aggression Questionnaire and Adolescent Peer Relationship Questionnaire. Results: Boys scored (185.31±27.49, 21.65±7.43, 21.77 ±8.18, 69.50±11.41, 72.39±11.53) higher than girls (178.21±25.13, 20.08±7.09, 20.61±7.62, 66.56± 11.14 , 70.95± 11.84 ) in parental control, father s psychological control, mother s psychological control, father s behavioral control, and mother s behavioral control ( t =8.63, 5.47, 3.70, 6.60, 3.12), while girls scored (48.41±11.26) higher in peer relationship than boys ( 47.13 ± 10.84 ) ( t =-2.95) ( P <0.01). The scores of first grade students in parental control, father s psychological control, mother s psychological control, father s behavior control, peer relationship, and aggressive behavior (184.67±27.18, 21.83± 7.29 , 22.15±8.07, 68.81±10.95, 50.21±9.57, 80.23±17.66) were higher than those of second gradestudents (180.98±25.46, 20.16±7.82, 20.21±7.55, 68.29±11.69, 45.47±11.67, 74.08±17.70) and third grade students (179.21±26.79, 20.53±7.22, 21.17 ± 8.06 , 66.81± 11.39 , 47.54±11.43, 75.75±16.29) ( F =9.44, 12.87, 13.61, 6.84, 42.85, 30.40, P <0.01). The scores of parental control and peer relationship were positively correlated with the scores of aggressive behavior ( r=0.22, 0.47, P <0.01). Peer relationship partially mediate the relationship between parental control and aggressive behavior, with a partial mediation effect value of 0.04, accounting for 26.39% of the total effect of parental control on aggressive behavior. Conclusions High parental control and poor peer relationship are both positively correlated with the level of aggressive behavior. The peer relationship of teenagers should be improved by establishing appropriate parenting style, tackling campus violence, and maintaining good social norms, in order to reduce the occurrence of aggressive behavior among adolescents.

Objective To investigate the effect of right stellate ganglion block(SGB)on postoper-ative shoulder pain in patients receiving laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods A total of 104 pa-tients scheduled for LC from April to August 2022,32 males and 72 females,aged 18-64 years,ASA phys-ical status Ⅰ orⅡ,were selected and randomized into two groups:the stellate ganglion block group(group S,n = 51)and the control group(group C,n = 53).Immediately after intubation,0.2%ropivacaine 4 ml was used for ultrasound-guided right SGB in group S,and saline 4 ml was injected at the same site in group C.The number of cases of post-laparoscopic shoulder pain(PLSP)and the duration of PLSP were re-corded within 48 hours after operation.The VAS pain scores of PLSP were recorded to assess the level of PLSP immediately after operation(T1),2 hours after operation(T2),6 hours after operation(T3),12 hours after operation(T4),24 hours after operation(T5),and 48 hours after operation(T6).The number of effective compressions of the PCIA pump and the salvage analgesia were recorded.The adverse reactions such as nausea,vomiting,and abdominal distension were recorded.Results The incidence of PLSP and the rate of patients with PLSP lasting more than 10 hours in group S was significantly lower than those in group C(P＜0.05),and the degree of PLSP in group S was significantly lower than that in group C at T3-T5(P＜0.05).The number of effective compressions of the PCIA pump and the salvage analgesia rate in group S was significantly lower than those in group C(P＜0.05).The incidence of nausea in group S was significantly lower than that in group C(P＜0.05).Conclusion Right stellate ganglion block can reduce the incidence of PLSP in patients receiving LC,relieve the pain degree of PLSP,and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.

Circulating tumor DNA(ctDNA)is a kind of cell-free DNA derived from tumors,which carries comprehensive tumor genetic information;Recent studies have found that ctDNA detection can play a role in the early diagnosis,targeted therapy,and prediction of recurrence in tumors.Human papillomavirus(HPV)-associated gynecological malignancies include most cervical cancer,some vulvar cancer,and vaginal cancer.High-risk HPV long-term infection and integration with cell genome are important causes of these cancers.Studies found that the use of ctDNA detection technology to dynamically monitor changes in HPV-ctDNA can provide valuable information for the clinical management and prognosis of these cancers.Thus,HPV-ctDNA is expected to become an biomarker for HPV-associated tumors.

Objective:To explore the impact of baseline remnant cholesterol levels at a single time point and cumulative remnant cholesterol exposure on the progression trajectories of arterial stiffness.Methods:This prospective cohort study included 2 401 eligible participants from the Beijing Health Management Cohort who consecutively attended health examinations in 2010-2011, 2012-2013, and 2014-2015. The remnant cholesterol value measured in 2014-2015 served as the baseline remnant cholesterol level at a single time point. The cumulative exposure indices were calculated based on remnant cholesterol values from three health examinations from 2010 to 2015, including cumulative exposure, cumulative exposure burden, and duration of high remnant cholesterol exposure. Arterial stiffness was assessed by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). The follow-up continued until December 31, 2019, with annual check-ups. During the follow-up period, a group-based trajectory model was employed to construct the progression trajectories of baPWV. The associations between the baseline remnant cholesterol level, cumulative exposure indices of remnant cholesterol and baPWV trajectories were examined using ordinal logistic regression models, adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.Results:The age of the 2 401 participants was 61 (54, 69) years, with 1 801 (75.01%) being male. The group-based trajectory model indicated that the best-fit model categorized the participants into three subgroups: low-rising group (1 036 individuals, 43.15%), moderate-rising group (1 137 individuals, 47.36%), and high-rising group (228 individuals, 9.50%). After adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, baseline remnant cholesterol levels at a single point ( OR=1.170, 95% CI: 1.074-1.274), cumulative remnant cholesterol exposure ( OR=1.194, 95% CI: 1.096-1.303), cumulative remnant cholesterol exposure burden ( OR=1.270, 95% CI: 1.071-1.507), and high-remnant cholesterol exposure duration (6 years: OR=1.351, 95% CI: 1.077-1.695) were significantly associated with the risk of developing a poor baPWV progression trajectory. These results remained significant after adjusting for cumulative average LDL-C levels. The association between baseline remnant cholesterol levels and baPWV progression became insignificant after adjusting for cumulative remnant cholesterol levels ( OR=1.053, 95% CI: 0.923-1.197), while the association between cumulative remnant cholesterol exposure and baPWV progression remained significant after adjusting for baseline remnant cholesterol levels ( OR=1.145, 95% CI: 1.008-1.305). Conclusions:Higher levels of baseline remnant cholesterol and cumulative remnant cholesterol are independent risk factors for the progression of arterial stiffness. These associations remain significant even after adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and LDL-C levels. Furthermore, the effect of cumulative remnant cholesterol levels on the progression of arterial stiffness was stronger than the effect of baseline remnant cholesterol levels.

Objective:To study the clinicopathological features of Sjogren′s syndrome (SS) with liver injury and to improve the understanding of this disease.Methods:Forty-nine patients with SS complicated with liver injury were collected from Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2008 to January 2022. All patients underwent ultrasound-guided liver biopsy, and all specimens were stained with HE. The histopathologic characteristics were observed and the pathologic indexes were graded. Immunohistochemical stains for CK7, CK19, CD38, MUM1 and CD10 were performed by EnVision method; and special histochemical stains for reticulin, Masson′s trichrome, Rhodanine, Prussian blue, periodic acid Schiff (PAS) and D-PAS stains were conducted .Results:The age of patients ranged from 31 to 66 years, including 3 males and 46 females. SS combined with drug-induced liver injury was the most common (22 cases, 44.9%), followed by autoimmune liver disease (13 cases, 26.5%, including primary biliary cholangitis in eight cases, autoimmune hepatitis in 3 cases, and PBC-AIH overlap syndrome in 2 cases), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD, 9 cases, 18.4%) and other lesions (5 cases, 10.2%; including 3 cases of nonspecific liver inflammation, 1 case of liver amyloidosis, and 1 case of porto-sinusoidal vascular disease). Among them, 28 cases (57.1%) were associated with obvious interlobular bile duct injury, mainly in SS combined with PBC group and drug-induced liver injury group. Twenty-three cases (46.9%) were associated with hepatocyte steatosis of varying degrees. In SS with autoimmune liver disease group, ISHAK score, degree of fibrosis bile duct injury, bile duct remodeling, lymphocyte infiltration of portal area, and plasma cell infiltration, MUM1 and CD38 expression; serum ALP and GGT, IgM; elevated globulin; positive AMA, proportion of AMA-M2 positive and IgM positive were all significantly higher than those in other groups(all P<0.05). Serum ALT, direct bilirubin and SSA positive ratio in SS combined with drug liver group were significantly higher than those in other groups(all P<0.05). The serum total cholesterol level in SS combined with PBC group ( P=0.006) and NALFD group ( P=0.011) were significantly higher than those in other groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The pathologic manifestations of SS patients with liver injury are varied. The inflammatory lesions of SS patients with autoimmune liver disease are the most serious, and the inflammatory lesions of SS patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-specific inflammation are mild. Comprehensive analysis of liver histopathologic changes and laboratory findings is helpful for the diagnosis of SS complicated with different types of liver injury.

Objective To explore the mechanism of tumor-associated fibroblasts(CAFs)for regulating proliferation and migration of prostate cancer(PCa)cells.Methods We conducted a bioinformatics analysis to identify miRNAs with high expression in PCa.The proliferation,migration and hsa-miR-18b-5p expression levels were observed in PCa cells co-cultured with CAFs.We further examined hsa-miR-18b-5p expression level in 20 pairs of PCa and adjacent tissue samples and in different PCa cell lines and normal epithelial cells using RT-qPCR.In PCa cell lines C4-2 and LNCAPNC,the effects of transfection with a hsa-miR-18b-5p inhibitor on cell proliferation,migration,invasion,drug resistance,apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated,and the effects of has-miR-18b-5p knockdown on C4-2 cell xenograft growth and mouse survival were observed in nude mice.Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to validate the targeting relationship between hsa-miR-18b-5p and its target genes,whose expressions were detected in PCa cells using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Results The expression of hsa-miR-18b-5p was significantly increased in the co-culture of CAFs and PCa cell lines,which exhibited significantly enhanced proliferation and migration abilities.Transfection with has-miR-18b-5p inhibitor strongly attenuated the effect of CAFs for promoting proliferation and migration of PCa cells,and in C4-2 and LNCAP cells cultured alone,inhibition of hsa-miR-18b-5p obviously suppressed cell proliferation,migration,invasion,and drug resistance.In the tumor-bearing mice,hsa-miR-18b-5p knockdown in the transplanted cells significantly inhibited xenograft growth and increased the survival time of the mice.Target gene prediction suggested that FBXL3 was a potential target of hsa-miR-18b-5p,and dual luciferase reporter gene confirmed a binding site between them.In C4-2 and LNCAP cells,hsa-miR-18b-5p knockdown resulted in significantly increased expression levels of FBXL3.Conclusion CAFs promotes proliferation and migration of PCa cells by up-regulating hsa-miR-18b-5p to suppress FBXL3 expression.

Objective To investigate renal expression level of STING in mice with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI)and its regulatory role in IRI.Methods C57BL/6 mice were divided into sham operation group,IRI(induced by clamping the renal artery)model group,IRI+DMSO treatment group,and IRI+SN-011 treatment group.Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen of the mice were analyzed,and pathological changes in the renal tissue were assessed with PAS staining.RT-qPCR,ELISA,Western blotting,and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression levels of STING,KIM-1,Bcl-2,Bax,caspase-3,TLR4,P65,NLRP3,caspase-1,CD68,MPO,IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α in the renal tissues.In the cell experiment,HK-2 cells exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation(H/R)were treated with DMSO or SN-011,and cellular STING expression levels and cell apoptosis were analyzed using RT-qPCR,Western blotting or flow cytometry.Results In C57BL/6 mice,renal IRI induced obvious renal tissue damage,elevation of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels and renal expression levels of KIM-1,STING,TLR4,P65,NLRP3,caspase-1,caspase-3,Bax,CD68,MPO,IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α,and reduction of Bcl-2 expression level.Treatment of the mouse models with SN-011 for inhibiting STING expression significantly alleviated these changes.In HK-2 cells,H/R exposure caused significant elevation of cellular STING expression and obviously increased cell apoptosis rate,which was significantly lowered by treatment with SN-011.Conclusion Renal STING expression is elevated in mice with renal IRI to exacerbate renal injury by regulating the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway and promoting inflammation and apoptosis in the renal tissues.

Objective:To conduct simulated graduation skill assessment and annual skill assessment by self-designed objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for standardized training of radiation oncology residents.Methods:The structured examination, standardized questions and standardized tasks of each disease were designed by teaching team of radiation oncology in the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital. The implementation effect of the annual assessment and simulated completion assessment of standardized training for residents in radiation oncology from Class 2019 to 2021 was prospectively observed. The difference between scores by two independent examiners was analyzed by the paired t-test. The overall feedback of residents and examiners for the implementation were collected after the completion of OSCE. Results:A total of 18 residents participated in 67 sessions of 3-station skill assessments of different diseases, including 2 make-up tests. There was no difference in the score pairing and grade pairing tests between two examiners at 3 stations ( t=0.85, -0.68, -1.16; P=0.401, 0.499, 0.255). A total of 91.3% of the residents reported that the assessment well reflected their actual clinical competency. Conclusions:The current program of OSCE assessment for radiation oncology meets objectification, standardization and high efficiency, and achieves the goal of making trainers familiar with the graduation skill assessment and assessing comprehensive clinical competence. It is a reproducible and flexible structured assessment model.

Objective To compare the efficacy of MRI-transrectal ultrasound(TRUS)software fusion-guided biopsy and cognitive fusion-guided biopsy for detecting prostate cancer(PC).Methods Data of 120 patients with suspected PC(127 lesions)who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy with 2-3 times of target biopsy(TB)and 10 times of system biopsy were retrospectively analyzed.According to TB guidance methods,73 cases(78 lesions)received MRI-TRUS software fusion-guided biopsy were classified into group A,and 47 cases(49 lesions)received cognitive fusion-guided biopsy were classified into group B.The positive rate of PC,clinic significant PC(csPC)and PC in different sized lesions by TB were compared between groups,and the positive rate of PC between 2 or 3 times TB was also compared within each group.Results The positive rate of PC and csPC detected by TB was 55.13%(43/78)and 39.74%(31/78)in group A,53.06%(26/49)and 34.69%(17/49)in group B,respectively,no significant difference was found(all P＞0.05).The positive rate of PC in lesions with the maximum diameter≤10 mm detected by TB in group A was higher than that in group B(P＜0.05),but no significant difference of lesions with the maximum diameter＞10 mm and＜15 mm nor≥15 mm was found between groups(all P＞0.05).No significant difference of positive rate of PC was found between 2 and 3 times TB in group A(P＞0.05),while positive rate of PC of 3 times TB was significantly higher than that of 2 times TB in group B(P＜0.05).Conclusion MRI-TRUS software fusion-guided biopsy had positive rate of PC and csPC similar to that of cognitive fusion-guided biopsy,but was helpful for reducing times of TB and increasing detecting rate for lesions with the maximum diameter≤10 mm.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.
