Objective: To explore the relationship of sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in middle school students, and to analyze its mediating role of daytime dysfunction, social rejection and selfcontrol ability, so as to provide a scientific reference for improving middle school students mental health. Methods: From October to November, 2023, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Adolescent Social Rejection Questionnaire, Brief Selfcontrol Scale and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scaleshort Form (DERS-16) were used to assess 806 students recruited from four middle schools in Bengbu City by a convenient cluster random sampling method. And model-6 of PROCESS and 5 000 Bootstraps were used to make a chainmediating model analysis. Results: Daytime dysfunction was positively correlated with sleep quality(r=0.57), social rejection(r=0.19), selfcontrol(r=0.29, P＜0.01). Selfcontrol was positively correlated with emotional regulation difficulties(r=0.54, P<0.01).Poor sleep quality showed a significant positive association with on daytime dysfunction, and daytime dysfunction further affected social rejection, selfcontrol ability and emotional regulation difficulties (β=0.86, 0.60, 1.27, 1.56, P<0.05). Meanwhile, daytime dysfunction, social rejection and selfcontrol played a serial mediating role in the relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties (Estimate=0.11,95%CI=0.04-0.20,P<0.05). Conclusion The study reveals the complex relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in middle school students and provides a new theoretical basis for adolescent sleep improvement and mental health interventions.

Objective To investigate the clinical features in children with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and early warning indicators of severe case.Methods The case data of 101 children inpatients with IPD isolated Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) at least once blood culture in this hospital from January 2007 to De-cember 2021 were collected retrospectively.The children patients were divided into the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) group (35 cases) and general ward group (66 cases) according to whether or not entering PICU during hospitalization.The general clinical data,infection types and results of drug sensitivity test and bacteri-al strain serotype identification were compared between the two groups and analyzed.Results Compared with the general ward group,the male proportion,proportions of complicating nervous system disease and iron-defi-ciency anemia,winter incidence rate,disturbance of consciousness,convulsion,dyspnea,heart rate increase,oc-currence rate of vomiting and diarrhea,proportion of peripheral blood neutrophilic granulocytes,C reactive protein (CRP),lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level,Hb<90 g/L,LDH>700 U/L,creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) abnomality,proportions of bacterial meningitis,sepsis and severe pneumonia in the PICU group were higher,the proportion of 3-97 percentile of body weight,bronchopneumonia and no-focus blood stream infection were lower,WBC,Hb and albumin level were lower,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Eleven kinds of serotypes were identified in this study,ranking the top five in order were 6B,14,19F,23F and 19A.Pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) could cover 96.9％ of the IPD sero-types.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that consciousness disturbance,convulsion,per-centage of neutrophils increase,Hb<90 g/L,LDH>700 U/L and CK-MB abnormality indicated the condition of IPD children patients was critical,which was the early-warning indicator of entering PICU (P<0.05).Con-clusion Severe IPD lacks the early specific early-warning indicator,and the cover rate of PCV13 is high.

Ginsenoside Rb1, the effective constituent of ginseng, has been demonstrated to play favorable roles in improving the immunity system. However, there is little study on the osteogenesis and angiogenesis effect of Ginsenoside Rb1. Moreover, how to establish a delivery system of Ginsenoside Rb1 and its repairment ability in bone defect remains elusive. In this study, the role of Ginsenoside Rb1 in cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, osteogenic genes expression, ALP activity of rat BMSCs were evaluated firstly. Then, micro-nano HAp granules combined with silk were prepared to establish a delivery system of Ginsenoside Rb1, and the osteogenic and angiogenic effect of Ginsenoside Rb1 loaded on micro-nano HAp/silk in rat calvarial defect models were assessed by sequential fluorescence labeling, and histology analysis, respectively. It revealed that Ginsenoside Rb1 could maintain cell viability, significantly increased ALP activity, osteogenic and angiogenic genes expression. Meanwhile, micro-nano HAp granules combined with silk were fabricated smoothly and were a delivery carrier for Ginsenoside Rb1. Significantly, Ginsenoside Rb1 loaded on micro-nano HAp/silk could facilitate osteogenesis and angiogenesis. All the outcomes hint that Ginsenoside Rb1 could reinforce the osteogenesis differentiation and angiogenesis factor's expression of BMSCs. Moreover, micro-nano HAp combined with silk could act as a carrier for Ginsenoside Rb1 to repair bone defect.

Objective:To investigate the preparation methods and quality control of 177Lu-labeled radiopharmaceuticals, and conduct preliminary clinical application research. Methods:177Lu-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)- D-Phe1-Tyr3-octreotide (TOC) and 177Lu-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-I&T were labeled by manual labeling and automatic labeling, respectively. Factors such as the amount of precursor and nuclide, reaction temperature, pH value, reaction time, labeling yield and specific activity were investigated. Quality control of the products were carried out, such as clarity, pH value, sterility, bacterial endotoxin and stability in vitro. 177Lu-PSMA-I&T was applied to the treatment of prostate cancer patients, and the efficacy was evaluated by SPECT/CT imaging. Paired t test was used to analyze the data. Results:The amount of precursor and nuclide, reaction temperature, pH value and reaction time of the two methods were basically the same, both with high yield and specific activity. The yield of 177Lu-DOTA-TOC automatic labeling was significantly higher than that of manual labeling (99.2±0.4)% vs (95.3±1.5)% ( t=7.17, P<0.001), and the specific activity were (91.6±13.7) vs (89.1±13.2) GBq/μmol. The yield of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T automatic labeling was also significantly higher than that of manual labeling (99.6±0.3)% vs (95.7±1.3)% ( t=8.24, P<0.001), and the specific activity were (96.1±14.3) vs (93.2±13.8) GBq/μmol. The labeled products were colorless clear solution with pH value of 6.5-7.0. The sterility and bacterial endotoxin met the requirements. The radiochemical purity of the labeled products was more than 95% after 48 h, which showed good stability. The clinical application of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T in patients with prostate cancer showed that both primary and metastatic lesions had good uptake. Conclusions:The labeling of 177Lu radiopharmaceuticals is simple and has high yield and stability. The application of automatic labeling can simplify the process, improve the yield and reduce irradiation.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of the sleep quality and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and analyze the different effects of sleep quality on HRQoL among young and middle-aged people.Methods:A cross-sectional study recruited 1 976 participants.All participants completed a self-designed questionnaire for the adults' general condition, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Short-Form health survey (SF-36). All participants were divided into 3 age groups: 18-29-year-old group( n=1 148), 30-44-year-old group( n=586) and 45-59-year-old group ( n=242). SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Chi-square test was used to analyze the general characteristics of the three age groups.Non-parametric test was used to analyze the scores of the three age groups in different dimensions of sleep quality. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the mean scores of the three age groups in different dimensions of HRQoL. Stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the effect of sleep quality on HRQoL among the three groups after control the confounding factors such as marital status, education, smoking, drinking and exercise habits and past medical history. Results:In terms of sleep quality, the total PSQI scores of 18-29-year-old, 30-44-year-old and 45-59-year-old groups(4(2, 6), 4(2, 6), 4(2, 6)) showed statistically significant differences ( Z=10.951, P=0.004). In terms of HRQoL, there were statistically significant differences in physical component summary scores (18-29-year-old: 82.51±12.62, 30-44-year-old: 80.72±13.63, 45-59-year-old: 82.04±13.07, F=3.667, P=0.026) and mental component summary scores(18-29-year-old: 76.09±15.46, 30-44-year-old: 77.20±16.14, 45-59-year-old: 81.82±14.14, F=13.649, P<0.001) among young and middle-aged people in different age groups.Regression analysis found that daytime dysfunction was an independent influencing factor for HRQoL in young and middle-aged population ( β=-0.308--0.425, all P<0.01). Sleep disorders significantly decreased Physical Component Summary of HRQoL in young-aged people ( β=-0.127--0.215, all P<0.01). The use of hypnotic drugs significantly reduced the scores in the physiological field in the young adults aged 30-44 ( β=-0.076, P<0.05). The duration of sleep significantly decreased the scores in the mental domain of young adults aged 30-44 ( β=-0.112, P<0.01). Subjective sleep quality was an independent factor that significantly decreased HRQoL in young adults aged 18-29 and 30-44 years ( β=-0.089--0.169, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Sleep quality and HRQoL of young and middle-aged people in different age groups show different characteristics.The effect of sleep quality on HRQoL is different among people in different ages.Taking targeted interventions for people of different ages to improve the sleep quality may be an effective way to improve their HRQoL.

BACKGROUND: Airway stent placement is the effective regimen for central airway obstruction (CAO), while its application scenarios varied. This study aimed to make clinical comparison of airway stent placement in the intervention room and operating room. METHODS: Patients underwent airway stent placement between 2014 and 2018 were included in this retrospective case-control study. Clinical performance of airway stent placement in intervention room and operating room were compared. RESULTS: 82 patients were included in this study, including 39 in the intervention room and 43 in the operating room. Patients treated in the intervention room had lower Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) (P=0.018) and received less Y-shaped stents (P<0.001). Better clinical response (P=0.026), more stents placed (P<0.001) and longer length of stent (P<0.001) were observed in operating room, while there was no significantly statistical difference of stent-related complications and post-stent survival rate between the two groups. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supported airway stent placement procedures were performed in the operating room, which provided definitive safety support for high-risk intervention. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CAO could benefit from the operating room scenario, and airway stent placement in the operating room is more suitable for patients with higher CCI scores and receiving more complicated procedures.

The drift tube temperature for ELSD was set at 70 ℃, and the nebulizing gas flow rate was 2.8 L/min. Results There were 34 chemical compositions in characteristic chromatograms of Qihong decoction. Among them, 16 peaks came from Polygoni Orientalis Fructus, 17 from Astagali Radix, respectively. A total of 18 chemical constituents were identified. Conclusions The method was simple, steady and reliable which could be applied to the quality control of Qihong decoction.

Objective To evaluated the value of myocardial perfusion before delayed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for predicting the recovery of systolic function of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods A total of 64 patients with AMI receiving delayed PCI treatment in the First People's Hospital of Foshan from January 2014 to June 2015 were selected.One day prior to delayed PCI,all of the patients underwent two dimensional strain to measure the longitudinal peak systolic strain (LPSS) of each left ventricular segment and the global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricle.The myocardial perfusion score (MPS) and the perfusion score index (PSI) were measured by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE).Left ventricular myocardial perfusions were classified as good,reduced,or absent.The two dimensional strain measurements were again conducted at 6 months after the delayed PCI to assess LPSS and GLS.The change of GLS and LPSS between one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI was assessed by paired t-test.The differences of LPSS among good,reduced,or absent myocardial perfusion groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA.LSD-t test was used to compare in pairs of groups that had different values.The correlations between PSI and GLS,MPS and LPSS were assessed by Spearman's rank-correlation test.Results The GLS of all patients were higher at six months after delayed PCI than at one day prior to delayed PCI [(-15.39±7.80)％ vs (-12.44±8.38)％,t=14.398,P ＜ 0.001].The LPSS of myocardial perfusion in good,reduced and absent groups at one day prior to delayed PCI were (-2.64±5.60)％,(-6.19±6.87)％ and (-12.07±5.86)％,respectively.The LPSS of myocardial perfusion in good,reduced and absent groups at six months after delayed PCI were (-2.97 ± 4.93)％,(-11.38± 7.26)％ and (-15.82 ± 5.97)％,respectively.The myocardial LPSS of left ventricular segment with good or reduced perfusion was significantly higher at six months after delayed PCI (t=13.013,10.821,both P ＜ 0.001),but the LPSS of left ventricular segment with absent perfusion was similar to that of pre-PCI.Whether at one day prior to delayed PCI or six months after delayed PCI,there were significant differences in LPSS parameters among the three groups (at one day prior to delayed PCI,myocardial perfusion absent vs reduced or good,t=4.201 and 11.771,both P ＜ 0.001;myocardial perfusion reduced vs good,t=12.561,P ＜ 0.001;at six months after delayed PCI,myocardial perfusion absent vs reduced or good,t=9.714 and 15.646,both P ＜ 0.001;myocardial perfusion reduced vs good,t=9.254,P ＜ 0.001).The LPSS both at one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI in myocardial perfusion good group ＞ those of myocardial perfusion reduced group ＞ those of myocardial perfusion absent group.PSI was positively correlated with GLS at both one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI (r=0.69,0.72,both P ＜ 0.001).MPS was positively correlated with LPSS at both one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI (r=0.49 and 0.45,both P ＜ 0.001).Conclusion Myocardial perfusion before delayed PCI,monitored by MCE,is correlated well with myocardial systolic function,and may be used to predict the recovery of myocardial systolic function after delayed PCI.

Purpose To explore the predictive value of myocardial perfusion in assessing myocardial systolic function recovery after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI),in order to improve poor prognosis by early detection of myocardial no-reflow.Materials and Methods Forty nine patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who had received PPCI were chosen as subjects.All the patients underwent two-dimensional strain (2DS) images and resting real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) within one week after surgery,and 2DS measurement was repeated after three months.2DS imaging was used to acquire longitudinal peak systolic strain (LPSS) at all myocardial segments.Based on the graphs of LPSS,left ventricular myocardium was divided into normal contractile function myocardium (red) and impaired contractile function myocardium (light red,blue).According to the myocardial perfusion scores (MPS) qualitatively assessed by MCE visual interpretation,the myocardia with impaired systolic function were categorized into three groups with different perfusion level.The changes of LPSS within one week and three months after surgery (△ LPSS) among the three groups were analyzed.The correlation between MPS and LPSS within one week and three months after PPCI was also analyzed respectively.Results The △ LPSS increased significantly among the three groups with the improvement of myocardial perfusion level [(-5.78±6.23)％ vs.(-4.37±6.60)％ vs.(-1.21 ±4.77)％,all P＜0.05].The MPS measured one week after PPCI was both positively correlated with the LPSS detected within one week after surgery and that after three months (r=0.47,0.58,P＜0.001).The consistence of myocardial perfusion scores given by two evaluators was good (Kappa=0.785,P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of myocardial perfusion after PPCI in patients with AMI is closely related to regional myocardial systolic function,and the improvement of myocardial perfusion can forecast the recovery of regional systolic function.
