BackgroundThere exist differences in the subjective and objective cognitive functions of patients with depressive disorder， ane there are limited research on influencing factors of such phenomenon currently. ObjectiveTo explore the differences in subjective and objective cognitive function in patients with depressive disorder as well as influencing factors， and to provide references for further understanding of cognitive impairment in patients with depressive disorder. MethodsA total of 77 patients with depressive disorder who received outpatient or inpatient treatment in the Fourth People's Hospital of Chengdu from January 13， 2022 to December 11， 2023 were selected for the study. These patients also met the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition（DSM-5）. Various tools were employed to assess patients in this study： Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale （MADRS） for the depressive symptoms， Perceived Deficits Questionnaire for Depression （PDQ-D） and Chinese Version of Brief Neurocognitive Test Battery （C-BCT） for the subjective and objective cognitive function， Sheehan Disability Scale （SDS） for the social function， and Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness（CGI-SI） for the severity of patient's condition. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation of subjective and objective cognitive function and their differences with age， years of education， MADRS total score， SDS total score， and CGI-SI score. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of the differences between subjective and objective cognitive function. ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference in the total PDQ-D scores and the difference of subjective and objective cognitive function （D value） between depressive patients with and without medication （t=-4.228， -2.392， P<0.05 or 0.01）. There was no statistically significant correlation in subjective and objective cognitive function in patients with depressive disorder （r=-0.148， P>0.05）. Negative correlations can be observed between the PDQ-D total score and age or years of education （r=-0.333， -0.369， P<0.01）. The PDQ-D total score was positively correlated with MADRS total score， SDS total score and CGI-SI score （r=0.487， 0.637， 0.434， P<0.01）. D value was negatively correlated with age and years of education （r=-0.411， -0.362， P<0.01）， while positively correlated with MADRS total score， SDS total score and CGI-SI score （r=0.259， 0.468， 0.299， P<0.05 or 0.01）. Age （β=-0.328， P<0.01） and SDS total score （β=0.409， P<0.01） were two predictive factors for D value. ConclusionThe difference between subjective and objective cognitive function among patients with depressive disorder is related to several factors including age， years of education， severity of symptoms and impairment of social function. ［Funded by Surface Project of National Natural Science Foundation of China （number， 62173069）； Technological Innovation 2030-Major Project of "Brain Science and Brain-Like Research" （number， 2022ZD0211700）； Key R&D Support Program and Major Application Demonstration Project of Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau （number， 2022-YF09-00023-SN）］

Sha （痧） is an acute infectious disease characterised by the appearance of rashes on the skin， caused by exposure to epidemic toxin and pestilent qi. Sha Zhang Yu Heng （《痧胀玉衡》） discussed the treatment principles and methods， and listed collateral bloodletting as one of the main treatments. Through organizing the articles and proved cases， we found that the author believes Sha （痧） is caused by epidemic pathogen， belonging to heat toxin with rapid changes， so timely treatment for qi and blood simultaneously could achieve the effect of transforming qi into defensive qi. Sha Zhang Yu Heng focuses on patient's position during treatmet， the material of the needle， the site of treatment， the quantum of stimulation and the operation of the contraindications and other essentials. According to the depth of the disease location， use traditional Chinese herbal medicine， scraping together to identify the root of the disease. In addition， diet suggestions for the prevention of the recrudescence of disease are also described in detail.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and related factors affecting the severity of acute tinnitus in patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 319 patients with acute tinni-tus.All patients had detailed case history,including basic patient information,tinnitus location,course of disease,acoustic characteristics of tinnitus,hearing loss,combined headache,dizziness,aural fallness,earache and other symptoms,as well as accompanying clinical diseases.All patients completed the tinnitus handicap inventory(THI),generalized anxiety disorder(GAD-7),patient health questionnaire(PHQ-9),pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),hyperacusis questionnaire(HQ),type D personality scale-14(DS-14),etc.The mild tinnitus group was determined based on a THI score of ≤36.The moderate tinnitus group was determined based on a THI score of 38～56.The severe to extremely severe tinnitus group was determinded based on THI 56～100.THI grouping was used as the dependent variable and the above factors as independent variables.The correlation between each factor and the severity of acute tinnitus was analyzed using ordered multinomial logistic regression.Results Among 319 patients with acute tinnitus,158(49.5％)were in the mild tinnitus group,and 72(22.6％)were in the moderate tinnitus group,and 89(27.9％)were in severe to extremely severe tinnitus group.Ordered multinomial logistic re-gression analysis found that hyperacusis(OR=3.921),anxiety(OR=2.495),depression(OR=2.921),and D-type personality(OR=0.349)were associated with the severity of acute tinnitus(P＜0.05),with more serere tin-nitus in these patients.Conclusion Hyperacusis,anxiety,depression,and D-type personality may be factors that affect the severity of acute tinnitus,so high attention should be paid when treating patients with acute tinnitus.

Objective: To explore the changes in root volume and root resorption in incisor arteries from adult patients with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion before and after camouflaged orthodontic treatment and to provide a reference for the clinic. Methods : Thirty permanent dentition adult patients with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion were included from the Orthodontic Department. CBCT data of each patient at pretreatment and posttreatment were acquired, and 3D digital root models were reconstructed. The whole and segmented root volumes (cervical part, bodily part and apical part) of the right incisors were calculated. Results: The root volumes (whole, cervical part, bodily part and apical part) posttreatment were smaller than those pretreatment (P<0.001). Maxillary central incisors and lateral incisors showed similar resorption in the cervical root and bodily root and more changes in the apical root, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). Mandibular central incisors and lateral incisors showed more root resorption in the apical root than in the cervical root and bodily root (P<0.01). The absorption ratio of all segmented roots in each incisor showed a significant difference (P<0.001), and apical absorption was the most obvious. There were no significant differences in root volume change amounts or the absorption ratio of the whole, cervical part and bodily part in all incisors (P>0.05). The absorption ratio showed a significant difference in the mandibular lateral incisors (P = 0.028). Conclusion After camouflaged orthodontic treatment of adult skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion, incisor root resorption occurred mainly in the apical part, but the cervical and bodily parts should also be considered. There was a high risk of root resorption in the mandibular incisors.

Objective To evaluate the influence of stress distributions on bone-anchored maxillary protraction at different protraction sites, so as to guide patients to choose an optimal protraction site in clinic. Methods A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of child head with implant anchorages was establised. Four protraction sites were set according to the position of implant installation. Working condition 1: the alveolar bone at the intersection of distal 2 mm of primary lateral incisor crown distal surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 2: the alveolar bone at the intersection of mesial 2 mm of maxillary first primary molar crown mesial surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 3: the alveolar bone at the intersection of mesial 2 mm of maxillary first molar crown mesial surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 4: the alveolar bone at the intersection of distal 2 mm of maxillary first molar crown distal surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. The finite element models were loaded with 500 g protraction force at each side with 30° forward direction to the occlusal plane. Stress distributions on each suture were analysed. Results The maximum stress of frontomaxillary suture was in working condition 2 (1 477-28 190 Pa). The maximum stress of nasomaxillary suture was in working condition 1 (5.296-924 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticomaxillary suture was in working condition 4(394.7-13 130 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticofrontalis suture was in working condition 4 (495.2-31 690 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticotemporal suture was in working condition 3 (1 148-15 870 Pa). The maximum stress of medianpalatine suture was in working condition I (6.479-730 Pa). Conclusions When the protraction sites are set in distal maxillary primary lateral incisor and mesial maxillary first primary molar, it is of positive significance to improve the concave profile, especially in nose root. When the protraction sites are set in mesial or distal maxillary first molar, it is of positive significance to improve the concave profile, especially in maxillary basal bone of the midface.

OBJECTIVES: The results of elastic imaging in evaluating the function and histopathological changes of allogeneic renal transplantation are contradictory, one of the important reasons may be that there are differences in human parameters related to kidney transplantation among individuals. The purpose of this study is to explore the related human body parameters on shear-wave elastography (SWE) effects on quantitative stiffness of graft cortex. METHODS: From March 2021 to November 2021, a total of 63 patients with allogeneic kidney transplantation in the Department of Ultrasonography, Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, were selected to collect the parameters of two-dimensional, color Doppler and SWE. The subjects were divided into a <20% group and a 20%-30% group according to the variation of cortical hardness measurement. Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the differences in relevant human parameters, and Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between relevant human parameters and cortical hardness of transplanted kidney. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age, sex, postoperative time, resistance index of interlobar artery, SCr, blood uric acid, ratio of fat layer to muscle layer, and BMI (all P>0.05). Compared with the <20% group, the patients in the 20%-30% group had smaller cortical hardness of the transplanted kidney, greater total distance between the transplanted kidney and the skin surface, and thicker fat layer or muscle layer in front of the transplanted kidney (all P<0.05). The age of patients, the total distance from the transplanted kidney to the skin surface, the thickness of fat layer and muscle layer, the ratio of fat layer to muscle layer, BMI, and the variation of cortical hardness were significantly negatively correlated with the cortical hardness of the transplanted kidney (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Human parameters relevant to kidney transplantation affect the accuracy of SWE in measuring the cortical hardness of the transplanted kidney. It is very important to obtain the highly stabile elastic measurement value and interpret the elastic measurement results according to different levels of human body related parameters in combination with individual conditions.

Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of foot self-care behavior in high-risk patients with diabetic foot.Methods:Totally 100 high-risk patients with diabetic foot admitted to the Department of Endocrinology, Jiaozuo People's Hospital from January to December 2021 were selected by convenience sampling and investigated with questionnaires on general and disease data, Chinese version of the Nottingham Assessment of Functional Footcare (NAFF) , Self-efficacy Scale, and Medical Coping Style Scale. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed, with 100 valid questionnaires recovered, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 100.00% (100/100) .Results:The scores of the Chinese version of the NAFF in the 100 high-risk patients with diabetic foot were (71.22±8.61) , which was at a moderate level. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, economic status, course of disease, self-efficacy, health education on diabetic foot, and medical coping style were the influencing factors of foot self-care behavior in these patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The foot self-care behavior of high-risk patients with diabetic foot was at a moderate level. Gender, economic status, diabetes duration, self-efficacy, health education on diabetic foot, and medical coping style were the main factors affecting the nursing behavior for these patients. Medical and nursing staff need to take targeted interventions based on relevant factors to improve their self-care ability.

Objective:To observe the application effect of single disease nursing pathway intervention in patients with maintenance hemodialysis.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 128 patients who underwent MHD treatment in Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected. They were divided into the single disease nursing group and routine nursing group by random number table method, with 64 cases in each group. The routine nursing group was given routine MHD nursing intervention. On the basis of routine nursing intervention and based on clinical nursing pathway, the single-disease nursing intervention group formulated the single-disease nursing pathway for the first-time dialysis patients, interdialytic patients and maintenance dialysis patients for nursing intervention. After 6 months of intervention, mastery of dialysis knowledge, complication rate and dialysis tolerance were compared between two groups.Results:The scores of five aspects of diet principles, functional exercise, medication principles, acute and chronic complications, internal fistulas and venous catheterization in the single-disease nursing group and the total score of dialysis knowledge were all higher than those of the routine nursing group. The incidence of bleeding, thrombosis and overall complications in the single-disease nursing group were lower than those in the routine nursing group. The scores of kidney disease-targeted assessment, quality of life assessment and total score of dialysis quality of life questionnaire for patients in the single-disease nursing group were higher than those of the routine nursing group. All differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Single-disease nursing pathway intervention can improve the knowledge of dialysis in MHD patients, reduce the incidence of complications and improve the tolerance of patients with dialysis.

We used Excel program to compile nutrition calculation program. A nutrition database for daily diet of patients with critical burns is established based on data sources of Chinese food composition table (2002 edition) , Chinese food culture academic symposium collection and common food nutrition table of the sports nutrition research center of Sports Medical Research Institute of General Administration of Sports of China, and label values of nutrition components of packaged food. According to the proportion of food net content, the formulas are adopted for calculating the dietary nutrition composition of patients with critical burns. An electronic scale is used to weigh the quality of food ingested through the mouth and gastric tube. After recording the weight into Excel scale, the value of nutrition content in patients′ diet can be quickly and accurately generated automatically. It is convenient to calculate the water intake and output, which can quickly and accurately provide the dietary status assessment for patients with critical burns. It can not only calculate the total energy and water intake amount, but also calculate the daily protein intake and proportions of the three major nutrients in energy supply. Therefore, it provides a credible basis for further strengthening and improving nutritional support.

Recent studies have discovered a selective autophagy-lipophagy, which can selectively identify and degrade lipids and plays an important role in regulating cellular lipid metabolism and maintaining intracellular lipid homeostasis. The process of lipophagy can be directly or indirectly regulated by genes, enzymes, transcriptional regulators and other factors. This review examines the role of lipophagy in reducing liver lipid content, regulating pancreatic lipid metabolism, and regulating adipose tissue differentiation, and summarizes the findings of the molecules (Rab GTPase, enzymes, ion channels, transcription factors, small molecular substances) involved in the regulation of lipophagy, which points to new directions for the treatment of diseases caused by lipid accumulation.
