Objective:To explore the changes in acoustic features of 9-10-year-old primary school students with depressive symptoms, and based on these features and the random forest (RF) algorithm, construct a model for identifying depressive symptoms in primary school students, so as to provide an intelligent psychological health screening tool for schools and education departments.Methods:This was a case-control study.A total of 1 186 primary school students aged 9-10 from three primary schools in three regions of Jiangsu Province were selected as research subjects for psychological health screening from October 26, 2022 to February 13, 2023.Their demographic data, Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21) scores, Insomnia Severity Index scores, and voice recordings were collected.Based on the DASS-21 scores, the participants were divided into a control group ( n=1 086) and a depression group ( n=100).Voice recordings were made using the neutral text " The North Wind and the Sun". openSMILE was used to extract 523 acoustic features from the pre-processed voice recordings.Group differences were assessed using independent-samples t-tests or chi-square tests.Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between acoustic features and depression scores.Depressive symptoms were set as the dependent variable, and the correlated acoustic features were set as the independent variable to construct a classification model using the RF algorithm.The model performance was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the area under the curve (AUC), precision, accuracy, recall, and F1 score. Results:Compared with the control group, the depression group showed significant differences in 105 acoustic features (44 spectral features, 49 source features, and 12 prosodic features) (all P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that 12 acoustic features (7 spectral features, 4 source features, and 1 prosodic feature) were significantly correlated with the depression score (all P<0.05).Among the RF algorithm-based classification models, the spectral features demonstrated superior performance compared to source features and prosodic features (AUC=0.793), and the performance of the model based on the combination of these features was the best (AUC=0.818). Conclusions:Acoustic features may be an objective indicator to identify the depression of 9-10-year-old primary school students, and the classification model established based on acoustic features can identify the depressed primary school students.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulatory effects of miR-26a-5p on the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) by regulating cAMP response element binding protein 1 (CREB1). METHODS: The adipose tissues of four 3-4 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice were collected and the cells were isolated and cultured by digestion separation method. After morphological observation and identification by flow cytometry, the 3rd-generation cells were subjected to osteogenic differentiation induction. At 0, 3, 7, and 14 days after osteogenic differentiation induction, the calcium deposition was observed by alizarin red staining, ALP activity was detected, miR- 26a-5p and CREB1 mRNA expressions were examined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and CREB1 protein and its phosphorylation (phospho-CREB1, p-CREB1) level were measured by Western blot. After the binding sites between miR-26a-5p and CREB1 was predicted by the starBase database, HEK-293T cells were used to conduct a dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment to verify the targeting relationship (represented as luciferase activity after 48 hours of culture). Finally, miR-26a-p inhibitor (experimental group) and the corresponding negative control (control group) were transfected into ADSCs. Alizarin red staining, ALP activity, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (miR-26a-5p) and Western blot [CREB1, p-CREB1, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and osteocalcin (OCN)] were performed at 7 and 14 days after osteogenic induction culture. RESULTS: The cultured cells were identified as ADSCs. With the prolongation of osteogenic induction culture, the number of calcified nodules and ALP activity significantly increased ( P<0.05). The relative expression of miR-26a-5p in the cells gradually decreased, while the relative expressions of CREB1 mRNA and protein, as well as the relative expression of p-CREB1 protein were increased. The differences were significant between 7, 14 days and 0 day ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in p-CREB1/CREB1 between different time points ( P>0.05). The starBase database predicted that miR-26a-5p and CREB1 had targeted binding sequences, and the dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment revealed that overexpression of miR-26a-5p significantly suppressed CREB1 wild-type luciferase activity ( P<0.05). After 7 and 14 days of osteogenic induction, compared with the control group, the number of calcified nodules, ALP activity, and relative expressions of CREB1, p-CREB1, OCN, and RUNX2 proteins in the experimental group significantly increased ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in p-CREB1/CREB1 between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Knocking down miR-26a-5p promoted the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs by up-regulating CREB1 and its phosphorylation.

Conclusions:The simplified Chinese version of the MIA Scale has good reliability and validity, and can effectively assess the metamemory level of OSAS patients.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of Japan narrow band imaging expert team ( JNET) classification for differentiating pathological type of colorectal lesions. Methods A total of 418 colorectal lesions were retrospectively diagnosed by magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging ( ME-NBI) using JNET classification by two inexperienced doctors after a short time of training in JNET classification. Then lesions were diagnosed with Sano classification by the two doctors. Diagnostic results were compared with histologic findings as a golden standard. Results The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of JNET classification and Sano classification for neoplastic lesion differentiation were 98. 2％ VS 98. 5％, 77. 8％ VS 66. 7％, and 96. 9％ VS 96. 4％, respectively ( all P>0. 05 ) . These indicators for diagnosing cancerous lesions, including high grade intraepithelial neoplasia, intramucosal carcinoma and submucosal carcinoma, were 66. 7％ VS 80. 2％ ( P=0. 023) , 87. 6％ VS 79. 5％ ( P=0. 006) , and 82. 1％ VS 79. 7％( P=0. 379 ) , respectively, and those for predicting submucosal deep invasive cancers were 34. 8％ VS 39. 1％, 100. 0％ VS 99. 0％, and 96. 4％ VS 96. 3％, respectively ( all P>0. 05) . The diagnostic accuracy of JNET classification for differentiating neoplastic lesions were 95. 2％ in those with diameter <10 mm, 97. 0％ in 10～<20 mm, and 97. 8％ in ≥20 mm (P=0. 483), this finding were 95. 2％, 85. 1％ and 72. 1％ for cancer, respectively ( P<0. 0001 ) , and 100％, 96. 3％, and 94. 4％ for submucosal deep invasive cancer, respectively (P=0. 026). Shape and location of colorectal lesions showed no significant effect on the diagnostic efficacy of JNET classification. Conclusion JNET classification is valuable for doctors without experience of ME-NBI in diagnosing colorectal lesions and the efficiency is slightly superior to Sano classification. However, the accuracy of diagnosis for cancer with diameter ≥20 mm need to be improved.

Objective To compare the diagnostic accuracy of white light endoscopy ( WLE ) and magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging ( ME-NBI) for intestinal-type gastric adenoma in benign lesions. Methods Data of patients with suspected early gastric neoplastic lesions diagnosed with WLE were collected from Shanghai Renji Hospital from January 2016 to December 2017. Patients with suspected early gastric neoplastic lesions by WLE were examined with WLE, ME-NBI and targeted biopsy again within 2 weeks. The results of WLE, ME-NBI and biopsy were recorded. Using pathological diagnosis as the golden standard, diagnostic efficacy of WLE and ME-NBI for intestinal-type gastric adenoma and other non-adenoma lesions was evaluated. Results A total of 232 patients ( 232 lesions) were included, i. e. , 124 intestinal-type gastric adenoma and 108 other non-adenoma lesions such as atrophy, ulcers, hyperplasia, low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, etc. . The sensitivity, negative predictive value and accuracy of ME-NBI in intestinal-type gastric adenoma were higher than those of WLE ( 92. 7％ VS 71. 8％, 91. 6％ VS 73. 7％, 91. 8％ VS 80. 6％, all P <0. 01 ) . The specificity was consistent ( both 90. 7％) . There was no significant difference in the positive predictive value between WLE and ME-NBI ( 92. 0％ VS 89. 9％, P>0. 05 ) . Conclusion Diagnostic efficacy of ME-NBI in intestinal-type gastric adenoma from other non-adenoma lesions is significantly higher than that of WLE.

ObjectivesTo retrospectively analyze the clinicopathological features of neuroblastoma (NB) and investigate the signiifcance of abnormality ofN-myc and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene copy number change as well asALKmu-tations in NB.Methods Eighty-three NB patients were collected and classiifed into different subgroups according to the clinical stage and histology. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed to detect the abnormalities ofN-mycandALK genes. The extracted DNA was ampliifed by PCR and sequenced to investigate the point mutations of theALK gene. Follow-up data were collected and survival analysis was performed.ResultsFISH detection showed that the aberration ofN-mycgene copy number presented as gain and ampliifcation. The aberration ofALK gene presented as point mutation and gain. It was shown that 17 cases had the abnormality of bothN-myc andALK gene. Survival analysis showed that the prognostic factors included the clinical stage, age and abnormality ofN-myc genes.ConclusionDetection ofN-myc andALK abnormality in NB would be helpful for evaluating the prognosis and providing theoretical basis forALK target therapy.
