Objective: To explore the impact of sleep quality, experience of childhood maltreatment, and their interaction on depressive symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide the reference for early intervention of depressive symptoms among middle school students. Methods: From September to December 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 231 students from two secondary schools in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province by a convenient sampling method. The survey included general demographic information, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Short Version of Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. The Chi square test was used to analyze the differences in depressive symptom, sleep quality and childhood maltreatment among students with different demographic characteristics. Correlation analysis was conducted using Logistic regression, and interaction analysis was performed by both additive and multiplicative interaction models. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among middle school students was 22.7%, and the rate for high school students (35.2%) was significantly higher than that for middle school students (17.0%) ( χ 2=50.35, P <0.01). The detection rates of depressive symptoms among middle school students with a history of childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality were 45.8% and 44.0%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to students without a history of childhood maltreatment, students with a history of childhood maltreatment had a higher risk of depressive symptoms ( OR =4.49，95% CI =3.31~ 6.09 , P <0.01);students with poor sleep quality had a higher risk of depressive symptoms than students with good sleep quality ( OR = 5.99，95% CI =4.37~8.22, P <0.01).The interaction results showed that the presence of childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality had an additive interaction on the occurrence of depression in middle school students. Compared with students without childhood maltreatment and having good sleep quality, students with childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality had a 22.49 times higher risk of developing depression ( OR =22.49，95% CI =14.22~35.59, P <0.01). Conclusion Depressive symptoms among middle school students are associated with childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality, and there is an additive interaction between childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality on the impact of depressive symptoms.

Radiation-induced lung injury is a prevalent side effect of radiotherapy for chest cancer. The "three phases and three methods "is an innovative theory based on the evolution of the core pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury. Its formation also considers the understanding of radiation-induced lung injury by ancient and modern medical practitioners, pathological characteristics, clinical manifestations, and the development patterns of radiation-induced lung injury. The "three phases and three methods" refers to the three phases of the course and the three treatment methods. The core pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury from the beginning, middle and late stages is heat toxicity, yin deficiency, and blood stasis. Therefore, the course of radiation-induced lung injury is divided into three phases: blazing heat toxin, yin deficiency and heat accumulation, and static blood obstruction. The method of clearing the lung and resolving toxins, enriching yin and venting heat, invigorating blood and dissolving stasis are used respectively. Traditional Chinese medicines commonly used in each phase include Flos Lonicerae, Atrina Glass, heartleaf houttuynia herb, Radix Ophiopogonis, American Ginseng, Forsythiae Fructus, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Rhizoma Ligustici chuanxiong, Scorpio, etc. This article presents the theoretical origins of the "three phases and three methods" concept by reviewing of ancient literature, inheriting experience, and summarizing disease pathogenesis, as well as elaborating on the academic connotations of the "three phases and three methods". The scientific validity of the "three phases and three methods" is verified by literature, clinical, and basic research. The "three phases and three methods" interprets the core characteristics of each stage of radiation-induced lung injury, improves the traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment system for radiation-induced lung injury, and provides theoretical basis for achieving complete process management.

Aim To investigate the effect of colchicine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and its related mechanisms. Methods The EndMT model was established by treating HUVECs with LPS. Cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 assay, cytotoxicity was detected by LDH assay, and the optimal drug concentration was screened. The cells were divided into the normal control group, the normal control + colchicine (10 nmol • L) group, the LPS (10 mg • L) model group, and the LPS + colchicine (10 nmol • L) group. The morphologic changes of the cells were observed under an inverted microscope, the cell migration ability was detected by Transwell assay, and the ability of tube formation was analyzed by tube formation assay. The expression of endothelial markers (CD31/ VE-cadherin) and mesenchymal cell markers (a-SMA/FSP-1) were detected by Western blot. NF-KB inhibitor was used to detect the changes in related signaling pathways. Results CCK-8 and LDH experiments showed that 10 nmol • L colchicine was the optimal concentration. LPS could induce morphological changes in HUVECs, and colchicine could reverse morphological changes in HUVECs to a certain extent. Transwell experiment showed that the migration ability of HUVECs in the LPS treatment group was significantly enhanced (P < 0. 05), and colchicine could significantly reverse this phenomenon (P < 0. 05) . Tube formation experiment showed that LPS decreased the endothelial tube formation ability of HUVECs (P < 0. 05), while colchicine treatment markedly improved LPS-induced tube formation defects (P < 0. 05) . Western blot assay showed that after colchicine co-cultured with LPS, the expression levels of CD31 and VE-cadherin significantly increased compared with the model group (P < 0. 05), while the expression levels of a-SMA and FSP-1 significantly decreased compared with the model group (P < 0. 05) . During the induction of EndMT by LPS, colchicine could inhibit the activation of the NF-KB/Snail signaling pathway. Conclusions Colchicine can effectively inhibit EndMT induced by LPS, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of the NF-KB/Snail signaling pathway.

Important forensic diagnostic indicators of sudden death in coronary atherosclerotic heart dis-ease,such as acute or chronic myocardial ischemic changes,sometimes make it difficult to locate the ischemic site due to the short death process,the lack of tissue reaction time.In some cases,the de-ceased died of sudden death on the first-episode,resulting in difficulty for medical examiners to make an accurate diagnosis.However,clinical studies on coronary instability plaque revealed the key role of coronary spasm and thrombosis caused by their lesions in sudden coronary death process.This paper mainly summarizes the pathological characteristics of unstable coronary plaque based on clinical medi-cal research,including plaque rupture,plaque erosion and calcified nodules,as well as the influencing factors leading to plaque instability,and briefly describes the research progress and technique of the atherosclerotic plaques,in order to improve the study on the mechanism of sudden coronary death and improve the accuracy of the forensic diagnosis of sudden coronary death by diagnosing different patho-logic states of coronary atherosclerotic plaques.

Ferroptosis is a novel type of iron-dependent cell death driven by lipid peroxidation. More and more evidence shows that ferroptosis is related to various pathological conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetic nephropathy, and cancer. Ferroptosis driven by lipid peroxidation may promote or inhibit the occurrence and development of these diseases. The intracellular antioxidant system plays an important role in resisting ferroptosis by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. The key pathways of ferroptosis include the amino acid metabolism pathway with SLC7A11-GPX4 as the key molecule, the iron metabolism pathway with ferritin or transferrin as the main component, and the lipid metabolism pathway. The occurrence of ferroptosis is regulated by intracellular proteins, which undergo various post-translational modifications, including ubiquitination. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is one of the main degradation systems in cells. It catalyzes the ubiquitin molecule to label the protein and then the proteasome recognizes and degrades the target protein. UPS promotes ferroptosis by promoting the degradation of key ferroptosis molecules (such as SLC7A11, GPX4, and GSH) and antioxidant systems (such as NRF2). UPS can also inhibit ferroptosis by promoting the degradation of related molecules in the lipid metabolism pathway (such as ACLS4 and ALOX15). In this review, we summarize the latest research progress of ubiquitination modification in the regulation of ferroptosis, generalize the published studies on the regulation of ferroptosis by E3 ubiquitin ligase and deubiquitination, and sum up the targets of ubiquitin ligase and deubiquitination regulating ferroptosis, which is helpful to identify new prognostic indicators in human diseases and provide potential therapeutic strategies for these diseases.

This study was designed to investigate the role of ring finger protein 20(RNF20)in host innate immunity against RNA viruses.Dual luciferase reporter assay was employed to examine the effects of RNF20 overexpression on Sendai virus(SeV)infection-induced activation of interferon a4(Ifna4)gene promoter in 293T human embryonic kidney epithelial cells.Rnf20 myeloid conditional knockout mouse model was constructed(Rnf2OF/F;Lyz2-Cre),and the frequency of myeloid subsets in the bone marrow,spleen,blood of Rnf20F/F;Lyz2-Cre mice and littermate Rnf20F/F mice were detected by flow cytometry.After bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs)were cultured and subjected to the infection of SeV and vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV),Western blot was used to detect the phosphorylation of transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 3(IRF3)and nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB).ELISA was used to detect the production of IFN-β,TNF-α and IL-6,and Bulk RNA-sequencing was employed to explore transcriptional changes.Furthermore,M1 and M2 macrophage polarization was induced by LPS and IL-4,respectively,to confirm the changes revealed by transcriptome analysis.Data showed that RNF20 overexpression showed no significant effect on SeV infection-induced activation of Ifna4 gene promoter in 293T cells.There is almost no difference in the development of myeloid subsets between Rnf20F/F;Lyz2-Cre and Rnf2OF/F mice.After RNA viral infection of BMDMs from Rnf20F/F;Lyz2-Creand Rnf201 mice,the phosphorylation of IRF3 and NF-κB p65 and the expression of IFN-[3,TNF-α and IL-6 were comparable between the two groups,while the expression levels of several genes related to macrophage polarization were significantly different.The loss of RNF20 showed the tendency of hindering M1 macrophage polarization while promoting M2 macrophage polarization.In conclusion,RNF20 does not affect RNA viral infection-induced activation of IRF3 or NF-κB pathways,but it might get involved in the resolution of inflammation afterwards.

Purpose::Internal iliac artery ligation (IIAL) has been used as a damage control procedure to treat hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture for many years. However, there is ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness and safety of this hemostatic method. Therefore, we performed a systematic literature review to assess the efficacy and safety of IIAL for pelvic fracture hemostasis.Methods::Three major databases, PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar, were searched to screen eligible original studies published in English journals. Two reviewers independently read the titles, abstracts, and full texts of all literature. Articles were included if they reported the use and effects of IIAL.Results::A total of 171 articles were initially identified, with 22 fully meeting the inclusion criteria. Among the analyzed cases, up to 66.7% of patients had associated abdominal and pelvic organ injuries, with the urethra being the most frequently injured organ, followed by the bowel. The outcomes of IIAL for achieving hemostasis in pelvic fractures were found to be satisfactory, with an effective rate of 80%. Hemorrhagic shock was the leading cause of death, followed by craniocerebral injury. Notably, no reports of ischemic complications involving the pelvic organs due to IIAL were found.Conclusion::IIAL has a good effect in treating hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture without the risk of pelvic organ ischemia. This procedure should be considered a priority for hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture patients with abdominal organ injuries.
