BackgroundThe issue of depression among adolescents is becoming increasingly serious， seriously endangering their healthy development. The issue of sleep disturbances in adolescents with depressive disorder is gradually receiving attention， but there is currently a lack of research on the relationship between sleep quality and suicide risk in this patient population. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between suicide risk and sleep quality in adolescents with depressive disorders， and analyze the influencing factors of suicide risk， so as to provide references for clinical intervention. MethodsA total of 101 adolescents patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder in the International Classification of Diseases， 10th edition （ICD-10） and were hospitalized at Hefei Fourth People's Hospital from June 2020 to February 2023 were selected. The patients were evaluated using the Nurses' Global Assessment of Suicide Risk （NGASR） and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI）. According to the NGASR score， patients were divided into severe suicide risk group （n=35） and non-severe suicide risk group （n=66）. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between sleep quality and suicide risk in adolescents with depression. Multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of severe suicide risk in adolescent patients with depression. ResultsStatistically significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of academic pressure， peer relationship and family relationship （t=3.942， 4.378， 6.748， P<0.05）. Moreover， there was a statistically significant difference in PSQI score between two groups （t=7.398， P<0.05）. There was also a statistically significant difference in sleep quality between the two groups （χ²=4.986， P<0.05）. Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between total PSQI score and NGASR score （r=0.698， P<0.05）. Severe depression （OR=1.628， 95% CI： 1.079~2.457）， high academic pressure （OR=1.118， 95% CI： 1.018~1.228） and poor sleep quality （OR=1.158， 95% CI： 1.033~1.297） were identified as risk factors of severe suicide risk， while good relationships with classmates （OR=0.908， 95% CI： 0.826~0.998） and family （OR=0.904， 95% CI： 0.823~0.993） were protective factors. ConclusionSleep quality in adolescents with depression is negatively correlated with suicide risk and poor sleep quality may be a risk factor for severe suicide risk.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and role of response gene to complement 32 （RGC32） in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy （PH）. MethodsA total of 42 male C57BL/6 mice， aged 10 weeks， were randomly divided into control group， postoperative day 1 group （1－d group）， postoperative day 2 group （2－d group）， postoperative day 4 group （4－d group）， postoperative day 6 group （6－d group）， postoperative day 8 group （8－d group）， and postoperative day 10 group （10－d group）， with 6 mice in each group. In the control group， the complete liver of the mice was resected for weighing and photography as the normal control group （sham group）； further， the left and middle lobes of the liver were resected for weighing and photography as the surgical control group （0－day group）； the sham group and the 0－day group shared the same group of mice. After successful modeling by PH， the mice were sacrificed on days 1， 2， 4， 6， 8， and 10 after surgery， and the liver was collected to measure the change in size. HE staining and oil red O staining were used to evaluate liver histomorphological changes； serum alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） were measured to evaluate the changes in liver function； immunohistochemical staining was used to measure the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen （PCNA） and Ki67 and analyze the change in cell proliferation during liver regeneration； quantitatie real－time PCR and immunohistochemical staining were uused to measure the expression and subcellular distribution of RGC32 during liver regeneration； EdU cell proliferation assay was used to analyze the effect of RGC32 overexpression or knocknout on hepatocyte proliferation in L02 cells. For continuous data， comparison between multiple groups was made by analysis of variance， and further pairwise comparisons were conducted using the LSD－t test. The independent samples t－test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. A Pearson correlation analysis was performed. ResultsThe liver gradually enlarged after PH， and the liver/body weight ratio rose to the peak from days 0 to 6， with significant differences between different time points （all P<0.05）， while there was no significant change in liver size from days 6 to 10. The number of liver lipid droplets significantly increased after PH surgery and gradually decreased with liver regeneration， with a significant difference between the portal vein region and the central vein region （all P<0.05）. Compared with the sham group， the 1d group had significant increases in the serum levels of ALT and AST （all P<0.05）， which gradually returned to the levels of the sham group on day 6 and day 2 after surgery， respectively （P>0.05）. Immunohistochemical staining showed that there were rapid increases in the numbers of PCNA－ and Ki67－positive liver parenchymal cells after PH surgery， with the highest numbers of 86±5 and 89±5， respectively， on day 2， which then gradually decreased； however， there were gradual increases in the numbers of PCNA－ and Ki67－positive nonparenchymal cells， with the peak numbers of 34±5 and 25±3， respectively， on day 6， which then gradually decreased. The total expression of RGC32 increased to the highest level on day 2 after PH surgery and then gradually decreased， and the changing trend of RGC32 expression in cytoplasm was consistent with that of total RGC32 expression； however， the expression of RGC32 in nucleus decreased to the lowest level on day 2 after PH surgery and then increased gradually. The correlation analysis showed that the expression of RGC32 in nucleus was negatively correlated with the proliferation of liver parenchymal cells （R²=0.308 3， P=0.016 7）， and the expression of RGC32 in cytoplasm was positively correlated with the proliferation of liver parenchymal cells （R²=0.808 6， P<0.000 1）. Cell experiments showed that compared with the control group， the EdU－positive rate was reduced by 15.6% after RGC32 overexpression （P<0.01） and was increased by 19.2% after RGC32 knockdown （P<0.01）. ConclusionLiver parenchymal cells and nonparenchymal cells show asynchronous proliferation and participate in liver regeneration together. During liver regeneration after hepatectomy， there are differences in the expression of RGC32 between nucleus and cytoplasm， and RGC32 in nucleus may inhibit hepatocyte proliferation.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein （EC）， and to provide evidence for selecting skin detection methods for tuberculosis infection diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis. METHODS The effectiveness and safety of EC compared with purified protein derivative of tuberculin （TB-PPD） were analyzed by the method of systematic review. Cost minimization analysis， cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis were used to evaluate the short-term economy of EC compared with TB-PPD， and cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the long-term economy. The evaluation dimensions of innovation， suitability and accessibility were determined by systematic review and improved Delphi expert consultation， and the comprehensive score of EC and TB-PPD in each dimension were calculated by the weight of each indicator. RESULTS The scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation and suitability of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. The affordability scores of the two drugs were consistent， while the availability score of EC was lower than those of TB-PPD. After considering dimensions and index weight， the scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability， accessibility and the comprehensive score of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with TB-PPD， EC performs better in all dimensions of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility. However， it is worth noting that EC should further improve its availability in the dimension of accessibility.

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.

China is stepping up its standardized management of investigator initiated trials(IIT)carried out by medical and health institutions, spotlighting the establishment and improvement of the quality control system of IIT projects than ever before. The authors retrieved official websites of clinical research related units of medical institutions and research institutes at home and abroad, and by means of literature review analyzed the current quality management of IIT projects at home and abroad. They found such setbacks as lack of quality management standards and norms, imperfect quality control mechanism, poor awareness of quality risk, insufficient quality supervision and poor quality control ability of clinical researchers. Based on the above, the paper made the following recommendations for building an IIT project quality control system in China: developing quality management standards and norms, setting up a systematic quality control mechanism(i.e., exploring a three-level quality control mode composed of the project team/department-hospital-national supervision institution/peer review expert team, and implementing the whole process quality control mechanism), strengthening policy guidance and system construction, and strengthening the standardized training of clinical researchers.

OBJECTIVE: This investigation aimed to develop a novel antibacterial dental adhesive containing nanoantibacterial inorganic fillers and measure the dentin bonding strength, mechanical properties, and antibacterial property of the novel adhesive in vitro. METHODS: Novel nanoantibacterial inorganic fillers containing quaternary ammonium salt with long chain alkyl were synthesized on the basis of previous research. These novel nanoantibacterial inorganic fillers were added into the dental adhesive to prepare novel nanoantibacterial dental resin composite at mass fractions of 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, and 10%; 0% was used as control. Dentin shear bonding test was used to evaluate the bonding strength. Flexural test was utilized to measure the novel resin composite flexural strength and elastic modulus. A dental plaque microcosm biofilm model with human saliva as inoculum was formed. Colony forming unit, lactic acid production, and live/dead assay of the biofilm on novel dental adhesive were calculated to assess the effect of novel dental adhesive on human dental plaque microcosm biofilm. RESULTS: The dentin shear bond strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus were 28.9 MPa, 86.6 MPa, and 4.2 GPa, respectively, when the nanoantibacterial inorganic filler mass fraction in the dental adhesive reached approximately 5.0%. Consequently, the dentin shear bond strength and mechanical properties significantly increased. Addition of 2.5% nanoantibacterial inorganic fillers into the dental adhesive exerted no adverse effect on the mechanical properties significantly (P>0.05). Dental adhesive containing 5% or more nanoantibacterial inorganic fillers inhibited the metabolic activity of the dental plaque microcosm biofilm significantly, thereby displaying a strong antibacterial potency (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS This novel antibacterial dental adhesive, which contained 5.0% nanoantibacterial inorganic filler, exhibited promising bonding strength, mechanical property, and antibacterial ability. Hence, this adhesive can be potentially used in caries inhibition in dental application.

Objective To discuss the regulatory effect of 5-aza-2 ,-deoxycytidine on P16 and MGMT in cervical cancer cells. Methods After four kinds of cervical cancer cells (HeLa, SiHa, C33A and CaSki) were treated with 5-Aza-dC , MSP was used to detect the methylation variation of P16 and MGMT , and fluorogenic quantitative PCR and Western blot were employed for determination of P16 and MGMT expression. MTT and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining were adopted for detection of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Results Both P16 and MGMT exhibited methylation in four kinds of cervical cancer cells , and after treatment with 5-Aza-dC ,their methylation levels were reversed. 5-Aza-dC was able to inhibit p16 and MGMT expression in the cervical cancer cells, and can also suppress cell proliferation and promote apoptosis. Conclusions Although methylation of P16 and MGMT are present in cervical cancer cells, their expression level was still high. Therefore, regulation of P16 and MGMT expression may be affected by other factors. 5-Aza-dC can suppress the growth of cervical cancer cells. Although 5-Aza-dC reverse the methylation levels of P16 and MGMT, it inhibits their gene expression. More experiments are needed to verify the hidden reasons and mechanisms.
