Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with multivessel disease is one of the high-risk types of coronary heart disease.Early opening of infarct-related artery and reperfusion of myocardium could significantly reduce the mortality in acute phase.However,the presence of non-culprit lesions in non-infarct-related arteries is still at risk and has an important impact on the long-term prognosis of patients.It remains controversial on how to precisely evaluate the clinical significance and revascularization value of non-culprit lesions.This article aims to review the research status and progress of guidance strategies of non-culprit lesion revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of modified orbital septum fat release in the treatment of lower eyelid relaxation with lacrimal groove deformity.Methods:From January 2019 to August 2023, 52 patients with lower eyelid relaxation and lacrimal groove deformity were treated with the procedures of modified orbital septum fat release in the First People′s Hospital of Jiande, including 5 males and 47 females. The orbicularis oculi muscle supporting ligament was sutured and fixed at the periosteum of the lower edge of the orbit to achieve anatomical reduction. Suture fixation of the free edge of the orbital septum was performed at the edge of the supporting ligament in the modified orbital septum fat release method. Following-up for 6-12 months after surgery, the complications and satisfactory rate of patients were evaluated.Results:All the incision healed well with improved skin effect, and the incision scar were almost invisible. 52 patients were followed up from 6 to 12 months; 49 patients were satisfied and 2 patients were basically satisfied with their appearance, 1 patient was not satisfied with the result. No complications such as lower eyelid ectropion, lower eyelid retraction, or eyelid ball separation occurred.Conclusions:Modified orbital septum fat release is an effective method for correction of lower eyelid relaxation with lacrimal groove deformity.

Objective:
To investigate the association of sleep quality, depressive symptoms and their interaction with non suicidal self injury (NSSI) among rural middle school students, so as to provide a reference for early prevention and control of NSSI among rural middle school students.
Methods:
A multi stage cluster sampling method was used to randomly select four rural middle schools in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. A total of 1 723 middle school students were investigated according to the principle of grade stratification and class random selection. Paper questionnaires (including demographic factors, Non Suicidal Self Injury Short Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Patient Health Questionnare-9) were used to conduct the questionnaire survey. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of sleep quality, depressive symptoms and their interaction with NSSI among rural middle school students.
Results:
Totally 30.5% of middle school students had NSSI. Univariate results showed that girls (33.0%) had a higher incidence of NSSI than boys(27.3%), and those with sleep disorders and depressive symptoms had a higher incidence of NSSI, which was 46.8%, 43.6%. The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that the risk of NSSI in students with sleep disorder was 1.80 times that in those without sleep disorder( OR 95%CI=1.42-2.28, P <0.01). The risk of NSSI in students with depressive symptoms was 3.32 times higher than that in those without depressive symptoms( OR 95%CI=2.60-4.24, P <0.01). The interaction results showed that there was additive interaction between sleep disturbance and depressive symptoms on the occurrence of NSSI behavior in rural middle school students, and the relative excess risk, attributable proportion and synergy index were 1.80, 0.30 and 1.57, respectively.
Conclusion
Sleep disorder and depressive symptoms are risk factors for NSSI among rural middle school students, and there is additive interaction between them.

BACKGROUND:
There has been minimal research on the role of benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) and how such events may offer protection from the insidious effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) or later in life.
OBJECTIVES:
This research aims to learn how BCEs and ACEs interact to affect adolescents' psychological distress.
METHODS:
Cross-sectional survey was conducted in three cities (Xuzhou, Nanjing, and Wuhan) in China from March 2021 to May 2021. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to classify the patterns of ACEs and BCEs. We adopted hierarchical multivariable regression to examine the influences of ACEs and BCEs on depression and suicidal ideation.
RESULTS:
To explore the relationship between childhood experience and suicidal ideation and depression, LCA revealed three patterns of ACEs: (1) emotional abuse (10.57%); (2) high ACEs (0.55%); and (3) low ACEs classes (88.88%). Adolescents with emotional abuse (depression: OR = 3.82, 95%CI = 2.80-5.22, P < 0.001; suicidal ideation: OR = 5.766, 95%CI = 3.97-8.38, P < 0.001) and high ACEs class (suicidal ideation: OR = 5.93, 95%CI = 1.19-29.66, P < 0.05) had an increased risk of psychological distress (reference: low ACEs). LCA revealed four patterns of BCEs: (1) relationship support (14.54%); (2) low BCEs (4.85%); (3) high BCEs (55.34%); and (4) high quality of life classes (25.28%). Adolescents with a high quality of life (depression: OR = 0.09, 95%CI = 0.05-0.16, P < 0.001; suicidal ideation: OR = 0.22, 95%CI = 0.12-0.40, P < 0.001) and high BCEs (depression: OR = 0.05, 95%CI = 0.03-0.09, P < 0.001; suicidal ideation: OR = 0.15, 95%CI = 0.09-0.26, P < 0.001) protected the mental health of adolescents (reference: low BCEs).
CONCLUSIONS
High ACEs and emotional abuse classes were significantly associated with poorer mental health symptoms, including suicidal ideation and depression. In contrast, high BCEs and high quality of life classes were associated with better mental health. These findings point out that it is more necessary to identify and support victims of ACEs, and it is urgent to increase BCEs in early childhood.

Objective:To survey the status quo of clinical teaching by specialists in general practice residents training.Methods:Thirty-four general practice residents (14 males and 20 females, aged (27.9±1.8) years) who started standardized training in 2016, 2017 and 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected for interview. The semi-structured and open-ended telephone interviews were conducted 6 months after their completion of residency training. The 1st round of interviews with 12 residents of 2016 and 2017 batches was conducted in March 2020 and 2021 to understand their feelings and suggestions about specialty learning. Based on the interview results, literature review, expert consultation and internal discussion, a new model for specialty teaching was developed and applied for subsequent residency training. The second round of interviews was conducted with 22 residents of 2019 batch on March 2023 to investigate the implementation of the new model.Results:In the first round of interviews, 6 participants felt that the learning of specialty knowledge was not comprehensive enough; although all respondents said that they had received simulator training for the final exam in the specialty rotation, 2 people felt that it was not comprehensive and 2 mentioned that some of the items were not practised on a real person; all 12 respondents felt that there was a certain gap between the types of diseases they encountered in the specialty learning and the real world of work; 10 respondents mentioned that there was insufficient training in the management of chronic non-chronic diseases; 7 out of 9 respondents from primary care institutions mentioned that it was difficult to apply the learned specialty knowledge to real work due to local conditions; 7 respondents mentioned that the content and methods of teaching were inconsistent among different lecturers; and respondents hoped that the surgical training, physical exam training, medication instruction, and the length of outpatient follow-up consultations would be strengthened. In the second round of interviews, the feedback of respondents was more positive than in the first round, there were still problems with the separation of teaching and examination content, and insufficient practical training of skills; 2 respondents from general hospitals mentioned that the teaching of specialties should be further deepened, and 3 respondents from the primary care institutions mentioned that the teaching of treatment and follow-up management should be further strengthened. Twenty-one respondents generally accepted the new specialty teaching model, but said that there were big differences between teachers of different specialties and there were still problems such as insufficient guidance on drug treatment and follow-up.Conclusion:In general practice, residency training specialist teaching does not fully meet the requirements of the actual work of general practitioners, and although it has improved after optimization, there is still much room for improvement.

Objective:To explore the effect of nurse-led multidisciplinary collaborative nutrition management on cancer patients.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, 106 cancer patients in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects. According to the admission time, the patients were divided into two groups. A total of 51 patients admitted from January to December 2019 were selected as the control group, while 55 patients admitted from January to December 2020 were selected as the research group. The control group was given routine nutrition intervention, while the research group was given nurse-led multidisciplinary nutrition management on the basis of the control group. Nutritional grading and Quality of Life Instruments for Cancer Patients-Core Module (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores before and after intervention were compared between the two groups. The target achievement of nutritional management and the occurrence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions were counted.Results:After intervention, nutrition of the research group was better than that of the control group and EORTC QLQ-C30 score was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The achievement rate of nutrition management goals in the research group was 67.27% (37/55) , higher than 39.22% (20/51) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions in the research group was 3.64% (2/55) , lower than 17.65% (9/51) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The implementation of nurse-led multidisciplinary collaborative nutrition management in cancer patients can improve their nutritional status and quality of life, increase the rate of achieving nutritional management goals and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions.

Breast cancer is one of the most malignant tumors and is associated with high mortality rates among women. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) is an extract from the fruits of the traditional Chinese herb, L. barbarum. LBP is a promising anticancer drug, due to its high activity and low toxicity. Although it has anticancer properties, its mechanisms of action have not been fully established. Ferroptosis, which is a novel anticancer strategy, is a cell death mechanism that relies on iron-dependent lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. In this study, human breast cancer cells (Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) and MD Anderson-Metastatic Breast-231 (MDA-MB-231)) were treated with LBP. LBP inhibited their viability and proliferation in association with high levels of ferroptosis. Therefore, we aimed to ascertain whether LBP reduced cell viability through ferroptosis. We found that the structure and function of mitochondria, lipid peroxidation, and expression of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11, also known as xCT, the light-chain subunit of cystine/glutamate antiporter system Xc-) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were altered by LBP. Moreover, the ferroptosis inhibitor, Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), rescued LBP-induced ferroptosis-associated events including reduced cell viability and glutathione (GSH) production, accumulation of intracellular free divalent iron ions and malondialdehyde (MDA), and down-regulation of the expression of xCT and GPX4. Erastin (xCT inhibitor) and RSL3 (GPX4 inhibitor) inhibited the expression of xCT and GPX4, respectively, which was lower after the co-treatment of LBP with Erastin and RSL3. These results suggest that LBP effectively prevents breast cancer cell proliferation and promotes ferroptosis via the xCT/GPX4 pathway. Therefore, LBP exhibits novel anticancer properties by triggering ferroptosis, and may be a potential therapeutic option for breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE:
To detect pathogenic variant of the FGD1 gene in a boy with Aarskog-Scott syndrome.
METHODS:
Genetic variant was detected by high-throughput sequencing. Suspected variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. The nature and impact of the candidate variant were predicted by bioinformatic analysis.
RESULTS:
The child was found to harbor a novel c.1906C>T hemizygous variant of the FGD1 gene, which has led to conversion of Arginine to Tryptophane at codon 636(p.Arg636Trp). The same variant was found in his mother but not father. Based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines, the c.1906C>T variant of FGD1 gene was predicted to be likely pathogenic(PM1+PM2+PM5+PP2+PP3+PP4).
CONCLUSION
The novel c.1906C>T variant of the FGD1 gene may underlay the Aarskog-Scott syndrome in this child. Above finding has enabled diagnosis for the boy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis misdiagnosed as mental disorder, improve the early diagnosis rate and reduce misdiagnosis.Methods:The clinical data of patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2012 to 2018 were collected. Patients misdiagnosed as mental disorders were screened out. Their psychiatric symptom characteristics, disease course characteristics, imaging and laboratory findings, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 121 cases of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis were collected, and 43 cases of mental disorders were screened out. Sixteen of the 43 patients (37.2%) had prodromal symptoms, and all the patients had psychiatric behavioral abnormalities (100%), including 32 cases (74.4%) of seizures, 13 cases (30.2%) of decreased level of consciousness, 21 cases (48.8%) of involuntary movements, 15 cases (34.9%) of decreased memory, 8 cases (18.6%) of speech dysfunction, and 8 cases (18.6%) of other neurological symptoms (central hyperventilation, autonomic dysfunction). Memory loss was observed in 15 cases (34.9%), speech dysfunction in 8 cases (18.6%), other neurological symptoms (central hypoventilation, autonomic dysfunction) in 8 cases (18.6%), and various symptoms may appear simultaneously or successively in the same patient. Thirty-eight cases had complete resolution of symptoms or only minor physical impairment, and 5 cases had recurrent admissions with mental abnormalities and seizures. The recurrence rate accounted for 11.6% (5/43).Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis are complex and varied. Most of them have mental behavior abnormalities as the first symptom, which is easily misdiagnosed as mental disorder and delayed treatment will lead to prolonged disease course and poor prognosis.
