ObjectiveTo develop an emotion management course and evaluate its effectiveness in improving emotion regulation, coping strategies, and anxiety and depression among first-year university students, so as to provide a basis for colleges to optimize mental health education courses. MethodsUsing a multi-stage cluster random sampling method, five classes of first-year students (n=169) from a university were randomly selected as participants, with three classes assigned to the experimental group (n=102) and two classes to the control group (n=67). The experimental group attended both the standard mental health education course and the emotion management course developed in this study, while the control group only attended the standard mental health education course. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). ResultsBefore the intervention, there were no significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in ERQ, SCSQ, SDS, and SAS scores (P>0.05). After the intervention, the experimental group demonstrated greater improvements than the control group in the ERQ expression inhibition subscale (14.42±5.05, 16.12±5.65), SCSQ positive coping tendency (1.97±0.51, 1.80±0.49) and negative coping tendency (1.26±0.55, 1.47±0.50), as well as in SDS (50.26±11.48, 53.86±8.21) and SAS (43.96±11.97, 47.59±9.50) scores (t value: 2.039, 2.144, 2.572; Z value: -2.214, -2.486; P<0.05). Compared with pre-intervention scores, the experimental group also showed improvements in the ERQ cognitive reappraisal subscale (32.19±5.76, 30.92±6.18), SCSQ positive coping tendency (1.97±0.51, 1.83±0.48), and SDS scores (50.26±11.48, 50.75±11.59) (t value: -2.654, -3.027; Z value: -2.100, P<0.05). ConclusionThe emotion management course effectively enhances students’ use of cognitive reappraisal strategies while reducing reliance on expressive suppression. It also contributes to improvements in coping strategies for life events and alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety. Universities should consider integrating emotion management education into their curricula to enhance the mental well-being of first-year students.

Objective To analyze the economic cost of self-monitoring of gestational diabetes mellitus, and provide a basis for measuring the economic burden of gestational diabetes mellitus, and to provide a reference for the formulation of intervention development and the adjustment of resource allocation. Methods The individual economic cost of self-monitoring for gestational diabetes mellitus was measured based on a decision tree model, and the total economic cost of self-monitoring for gestational diabetes mellitus in Beijing was estimated. The uncertainty of the model parameters was analyzed using one-way sensitivity analysis. Results The average individual economic cost of gestational diabetes self-monitoring was 1184 RMB, and the individual cost incurred by choosing different types of blood glucose meters ranged from 403 to 18 000 RMB. The average individual economic cost of finger-stick blood glucose monitoring was 606 RMB and the average individual economic cost of continuous glucose monitoring was 2 374 RMB. The total economic cost of gestational diabetes self-monitoring in Beijing was 23.818 0 million RMB, and the total economic cost incurred by choosing different types of blood glucose meters ranged from 0.292 5 to 9.027 9 million RMB. The proportion of the finger-stick blood glucose monitoring had the greatest impact on the robustness of the results. Conclusion Finger-stick blood glucose monitoring is still the dominant self-monitoring method and is less costly than continuous glucose monitoring. Self-monitoring of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus incurs certain economic cost and causes an economic burden on society.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

AIM: To investigate the mechanism of elemene synergistic bortezomib against multiple myeloma based on ROS-NF-κB-p38MAPK signaling pathway. METHODS: CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell activity. Nude mice were randomly divided into control group, bortezomib (BTZ) group, elemene (ELE) group and combination group. Each group was treated with BTZ, ELE and BTZ combined with ELE, respectively. Tunel staining was performed to observe the apoptosis of tumor tissues. The expressions of Caspase-3, Bcl-2, NF-κB and p38 MAPK were detected by Western Blot. Cell cycle, apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression were detected by flow cytometry using human myeloma U266 cells. RESULTS: When 4.0 μmol/L ELE combined with 50 nmol/L BTZ treated U266, the cell activity was significantly reduced compared with that of NC, BTZ and ELE groups (P< 0.05). The tumor volume of nude mice in BTZ group, ELE group and combined group was significantly reduced compared with the control group (P <0.05), and the combined group was the smallest. Tunel staining results showed that the apoptosis level in the control group was lower than that in the BTZ group, ELE group and the combined group (P<0.05), and the combined group had the lowest apoptosis level. Compared with the control group, the expressions of Caspase-3 and p38 MAPK in BTZ group, ELE group and combination group were significantly increased, while the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased. The apoptosis level and expression of ROS in BTZ group, ELE group and the combined group was significantly increased compared with the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: ELE can enhance the role of BTZ in promoting apoptosis of myeloma cells, which may be achieved by regulating ROS/NF-κB/p38 MAPK signaling pathway to enhance the level of apoptosis of tumor cells to achieve anti-tumor effect.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Previous research has shown maternal betaine supplementation alleviates fetal-derived hepatic steatosis. Therefore, this study examined the anti-inflammatory effect of maternal betaine intake in offspring mice and its mechanism.MATERIALS/METHODS: Female C57BL/6J mice and their offspring were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the treatment received during gestation and lactation: control diet (CD), fatty liver disease (FLD), and fatty liver disease + 1% betaine (FLD-BET). The FLD group was given a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (HFD + STZ), and the FLD-BET group was treated with HFD + STZ + 1% betaine. After weaning, the offspring mice were given a normal diet for 5 weeks and then dissected to measure the relevant indexes. RESULTS: Compared to the CD group, the offspring mice in the FLD group revealed obvious hepatic steatosis and increased serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α; maternal betaine supplementation reversed these changes. The hepatic mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-18, and Caspase-1 were significantly higher in the FLD group than in the CD group. Maternal betaine supplementation reduced the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing C-terminal caspase recruitment domain (ASC). Maternal betaine supplementation also reversed the increasing protein expressions of nitric oxide dioxygenase-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 in offspring mice exposed to HFD + STZ. Maternal betaine supplementation decreased the homocysteine (Hcy) and s-adenosine homocysteine (SAH) levels significantly in the livers. Furthermore, the hepatic Hcy concentrations showed significant inverse relationships with the mRNA expression of TNF-α, NLRP3, ASC, and IL-18. The hepatic SAH concentration was inversely associated with the IL-1β mRNA expression. CONCLUSIONS The lipotropic and anti-inflammatory effect of maternal betaine supplementation may be associated with the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome in the livers of the offspring mice.

Objective:To investigate the factors affecting prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients with carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) negative before surgery.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed the clinic pathological data of 158 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent radical surgery between November 2011 and August 2022, including 84 males, and 74 females, aged (65±9) years old. Patients were divided into two groups according to CA 19-9 levels over a threshold of 37 U/ml. Patients with CA19-9 levels ≤37 U/ml were included in the CA19-9 negative group ( n=34), while patients with CA19-9 levels >37 U/ml were included in the CA19-9 positive group ( n=124). We performed a comparison between the two groups regarding demographic and clinical data, tumor staging, lymphovascular and nerve invasion and so on. Survival data were extracted from outpatient or telephone records during follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and the survival rate was compared by log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox regression analysis model. Results:CA19-9 expression was associated with tumor location and nerve invasion (both P<0.001). There was no significant difference in cumulative survival rate ( χ2=0.07, P=0.787) and progression-free survival rate ( χ2=0.13, P=0.721) between two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that lymphovascular invasion ( HR=5.962, 95% CI: 2.189-16.239, P<0.001) was a prognostic factor for overall survival in the CA19-9 negative group. Age ≤60 years old ( HR=0.306, 95% CI: 0.118-0.796, P=0.015) and lymphovascular invasion ( HR=3.096, 95% CI: 1.232-7.780, P=0.016) were prognostic factors for progression-free survival. Conclusion:Age ≤60 years old and lymphovascular invasion are the influencing factors of poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients with CA19-9 negative.
