Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and stent implantation in the treatment of pancreaticobiliary injuries in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of children diagnosed with pancreaticobiliary injury and undergoing ERCP and stent implantation at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022. Demographic information, clinical data, endoscopic treatment methods, postoperative complications and clinical prognosis of the children were collected. The etiology, location of pancreaticobiliary injury, occurrence of complications after endoscopic treatment, and the time for improvement and recovery after endoscopic treatment were analyzed. The patients were divided into five groups according to the etiologies of pancreaticobiliary duct injuries: post-surgical, pancreatic trauma, acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus groups. They were also classified into four groups according to the sites of pancreaticobiliary duct injuries: common bile duct, pancreatic head, pancreatic body, and pancreatic tail groups. Multi-factor analysis of variance was used for comparing the time of improvement and recovery among different groups.Results:Among 22 patients, there were 8 males and 14 females, and the age was 7.5 (3.3,10.8) years. There were 19 cases of pancreatic or bile duct fistula, and 3 cases of pancreatic or bile duct stenosis. A total of 33 endoscopic procedures were performed on the 22 patients, out of which, 3 duct stenosis were failed to insert the stent because the catheter failed to pass through the stenosis site. The success rate was 91% (30/33). The pancreatic duct or bile duct stent was inserted, with the stent located at pancreatic or bile duct fistula. Postoperative complications included pancreatitis in 3 cases (9%, 3/33), hyperamylasemia in 5 cases (15%, 5/33), and postoperative infection in 4 cases (12%, 4/33). All patients were followed up for more than 1 year. Significant improvement was observed in external drainage and imaging monitoring among patients with successfully placed stents. There was no significant difference in the improvement time of ERCP in the treatment of pancreaticobile duct injury caused by different etiology ( F=0.65, P=0.637). However, there were significant differences in healing time ( F=6.46, P=0.004), among which the healing time of injuries caused by systemic lupus erythematosus was significantly different from that after surgery, trauma, acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the improvement and healing time among different injury sites (all P>0.05). Conclusions:ERCP and stent implantation can safely and effectively improve the clinical symptoms of children with pancreaticobiliary injury. Early intervention can improve long-term prognosis.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and changing trends of non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behaviors among middle school students in Jiading District of Shanghai, from 2015 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for the development of NSSI prevention and control measures among students. Methods: Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, a total of five times for Shanghai Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Surveys were conducted for every two years in Jiading District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2023. A total of 5 231 middle school students from junior high schools and senior high schools were selected for questionnaire surveys. Intergroup comparisons were performed using the x 2 test or the χ 2 trend test, and the JointPoint 5.0 software was used to analyze the changing trends, with the annual percent change (APC) used for evaluation. A binary Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the related factors of NSSI behavior among middle school students. Results: In 2023, the reported NSSI rate among middle school students in Jiading District was 14.2%. The rate was significantly higher among junior high school students (17.1%) than that among senior high school students (11.1%), and higher among females (19.2%) than that among males (10.0%) ( χ 2=10.04, 23.21, both P <0.01). From 2015 to 2023, the overall reported NSSI rate showed an increasing trend, rising from 8.6% in 2015 to 14.2% in 2023 ( χ 2 trend =22.25), with an APC of 6.64% ( t =3.49), and the APC for girls was 9.79 % ( t =3.20) (all P <0.05). Among students reporting NSSI, the proportion experiencing ≥6 episodes increased from 10.8% in 2015 to 19.2% in 2023 ( χ 2 trend =6.57, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that girls, junior high school students, those with insomnia, depressive emotion and drinkers had higher risks of NSSI, compared to boys, senior high school students, those without insomnia, non depressive emotion students and non drinkers ( OR =1.71, 1.96, 3.44, 4.76, 1.77, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions The reported rate of NSSI among middle school students in Jiading District of Shanghai, increased annually from 2015 to 2023, and the proportion of repeated NSSI also showed an upward trend. Early intervention measures targeting middle school students, especially junior high school students and females, should be implemented to prevent and control its occurrence and development.

Objective To analyze the combined effect of body mass index(BMI)and age with cancer occurrence among a hypertensive population in Minhang District,Shanghai.Methods Participants of this study were 212 394 hypertensive patients without cancer in Minhang District,Shanghai,registered in the electronic health information system from 2007 to 2015.Age and BMI were included as smoothing functions in the generalized additive Cox proportional risk model.The bivariate response model was constructed to visualize results using surface plots and to comprehensively analyze the association of BMI and age with the risk of cancer occurrence.Results A total of 22 141 participants developed cancer by Dec 31,2018.The association between age and the risk of cancer incidence showed an overall linear trend while the association between BMI and the risk of cancer incidence showed an overall"U"shape.BMI at about 26 kg/m2 showed the lowest risk of cancer incidence.The risk of cancer occurrence increased with increasing age in people with different BMIs.The associations between BMI and the risk of cancer incidence were different at different age groups:there was no significant association between BMI and the risk of cancer incidence in the young people(20-44 years).While in the middle-aged and older people aged over 45 years,BMI was associated with the risk of cancer incidence in a"U"shape.The lowest risk of cancer incidence was around the BMI of 26 kg/m2.Conclusion BMI among the population with hypertension should be controlled in a reasonable range,especially in the middle-aged and older population,to prevent cancer occurrence.

Objective To investigate the rate of germline variants in patients with pancreatic cancer and clinical characteristics related with germline variants.Methods A total of 271 patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer were enrolled in this study.Germline variants of 21 tumor susceptibility genes were detected by next-generation sequencing,and the relationship between germline variants and clinical factors such as age of onset,family history and personal history was analyzed.Results The rate of germline P/LP variants was 6.3%in unselected pancreatic cancer patients,but was high as 17.1%in genetic high-risk group patients(those with a family or personal history of cancer,or early-onset).Genes with higher frequency of germline variants in pancreatic cancer patients were PALB2,BRCA2,and ATM.Conclusion The rate of germline variants in overall pancreatic cancer patients is not high,but it increases significantly in genetic high-risk group,proving the importance of clinical factors in the screening of hereditary pancreatic cancer.

This article introduced the basic theory of quantile regression and its application in medical and public health research for methodological reference.We fit the quantile regression model to cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to estimate the association between sleep duration and depression levels at different quantiles of depression levels.The method showed that among people with low levels of depression,sleep duration was not significantly associated with depression level.While among people with higher levels of depression,the association of sleep duration with depression level became much more pronounced.The real data analysis shows that quantile regression can provide a comprehensive analysis of association between exposure and continuous outcome,and identify subgroups that are more sensitive to exposure,providing recommendations for targeted interventions.The method showed promising application value in medical and public health research.

This article introduced the basic theory of non-parametric regression and its application in medical and public health research for methodological reference.We conducted Cox proportional hazard models with restricted cubic splines using chronic disease management data from a Center for Disease Control and Prevention.We aimed to explore the separate and combined effects of mean fasting blood glucose level and glucose variability on all-cause mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes.A non-linear association was observed between glucose variability and the risk of all-cause mortality.The association between glucose variability and all-cause mortality was stronger at higher mean fasting blood glucose levels compared to lower levels.The non-parametric regression methods comprehensively explored dose-response relationships between continuous exposure and outcome,revealing the combined effects of continuous exposures,which provided recommendations for targeted interventions.The method showed promising application value in medical and public health research.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between CBCT imaging changes of condyle and clinical features,and related risk factors in patients with temporomandibular disorders(TMD).Methods:453 patients with TMD were enrolled and underwent CBCT scan for bilateral temporomandibular joints(TMJ),3D reconstruction of the TMJs was analyzed.Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between condylar bone changes and TMD clinical features.Results:Patients＜18 years old were more likely to have condylar bone changes than the adults.The symptoms of pain and restricted mouth opening were more likely to be detected in the condylar bone change group(n=133)than in the normal condylar bone group(n=320).The incidence of brux-ism in the normal condylar bone group was higher than that in the condylar bone change group.Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that only bruxism(OR=0.550),pain(OR=1.844)and mouth restriction(OR=2.024)were included in the regression equa-tion.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that,due to the protective effect of bruxism,the OR value of pain decreased from 1.844 to 1.791,and the OR value of mouth restriction decreased from 2.024 to 1.847.Conclusion:The condylar bone change in TMD patients more likely occur in puberty or patients with pain and restricted mouth opening.Bruxism may be a protective factor in the occurrence of condylar bone changes in TMD patients.

BACKGROUND:Current studies have confirmed that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can promote nerve regeneration in neurodegeneration-related diseases.The occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction,but the role of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides on the regulation of apoptosis and mitochondrial function in neurodegenerative diseases is not yet clarified. OBJECTIVE:To explore the regulatory effects and mechanisms of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides on apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cells. METHODS:SH-SY5Y cells were divided into three groups:control group,H2O2 group,and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group.Cells in the control group were normally cultured.Cells in the H2O2 group were treated with 300 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours.In the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group,the intervention with 300 μg/L Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides was conducted first for 1-2 hours,followed by the addition of 300 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours.The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 kit.Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining kit.The activities of malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase were detected by malondialdehyde test kit and superoxide dismutase test kit,respectively.The apoptosis and expression of mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins were detected by immunofluorescence staining and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the control group,the mitochondrial membrane potential and superoxide dismutase activity were significantly reduced,as well as apoptotic rate and malondialdehyde levels were significantly increased in the H2O2 group(P<0.05).After treatment with Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides,the membrane potential and superoxide dismutase activities were significantly increased,and apoptotic rate and malondialdehyde levels were significantly reduced compared with the H2O2 group(P<0.05).(2)The expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Caspase-3 were significantly increased,but the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly decreased in the H2O2 group compared with the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the H2O2 group,the levels of Bax and Caspase-3 were significantly decreased,but the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly increased in the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the control group,the expression of mitochondrial splitting proteins Fis1 and p-Drp1 was significantly increased,but the expression of mitochondrial fusion proteins OPA1,Mfn1,and Mfn2 was decreased in the H2O2 group(P<0.05).Compared with the H2O2 group,Fis1 and p-Drp1 expression was significantly reduced,but the expression levels of OPA1,Mfn1,and Mfn2 were significantly increased in the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group(P<0.05).(4)The above results confirm that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can attenuate H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction.

ObjectiveTo explore the syndrome elements and evolving patterns of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute on chronic liver failure （HBV-ACLF） at different stages. MethodsClinical information of 1,058 hospitalized HBV-ACLF patients， including 618 in the early stage， 355 in the middle stage， and 85 in the late stage， were collected from 18 clinical centers across 12 regions nationwide from January 1， 2012 to February 28， 2015. The “Hepatitis B-related Chronic and Acute Liver Failure Chinese Medicine Clinical Questionnaire” were designed to investigate the basic information of the patients， like the four diagnostic information （including symptoms， tongue， pulse） of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， and to count the frequency of the appearance of the four diagnostic information. Factor analysis and cluster analysis were employed to determine and statistically analyze the syndrome elements and patterns of HBV-ACLF patients at different stages. ResultsThere were 76 four diagnostic information from 1058 HBV-ACLF patients， and 53 four diagnostic information with a frequency of occurrence ≥ 5% were used as factor analysis entries， including 36 symptom information， 12 tongue information， and 5 pulse information. Four types of TCM patterns were identified in HBV-ACLF， which were liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern， qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern， liver-kidney yin deficiency pattern， and spleen-kidney yang-deficiency pattern. In the early stage， heat （39.4%， 359/912） and dampness （27.5%， 251/912） were most common， and the pattern of the disease was dominated by liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern （74.6%， 461/618）； in the middle stage， dampness （30.2%， 187/619） and blood stasis （20.7%， 128/619） were most common， and the patterns of the disease were dominated by liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern （53.2%， 189/355）， and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern （27.6%， 98/355）； and in the late stage， the pattern of the disease was dominated by qi deficiency （26.3%， 40/152） and yin deficiency （20.4%， 31/152）， and the patterns were dominated by qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern （36.5%， 31/85）， and liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern （25.9%， 22/85）. ConclusionThere are significant differences in the distribution of syndrome elements and patterns at different stages of HBV-ACLF， presenting an overall trend of evolving patterns as "from excess to deficiency， transforming from excess to deficiency"， which is damp-heat → blood stasis → qi-blood yin-yang deficiency.

Objective:To investigate the high risk factors,diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography and pregnan-cy outcomes of umbilical cord wrapped around the neck for≥4 loops.Methods:The clinical data of 64 pregnant women with umbilical cord around the neck for≥4 loops(the group with umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops)in Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2011 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.At the same time,80 cases with umbilical cord around the neck for 1-2 loops(the group with umbilical cord around the neck 1-2 loops)were randomly selected as the controls.General information,clinical manifestations,ultrasound diagnosis and other data of the two groups were collected.The risk factors of umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops and diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography were ana-lyzed with univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and the pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:①The incidence of pregnancy,abortion,delivery and history of cesarean sec-tion were lower in the group with umbilical cord around the neck ≥4 loops than those in the group with umbilical cord around the neck 1-2 loops.The incidence of consciously abnormal fetal movement,abnormal umbilical ar-tery systolic/diastolic(S/D)ratio,abnormal fetal heart rate monitoring(NST)and fetal distress were higher in the group with umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops than those in the group with umbilical cord around the neck 1-2 loops,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).②Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that polyhydramnios and excessively long cord were independent risk factors for umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops(OR＞1,P＜0.05).③When the time between ultrasound diagnosis and the operation was 2 days,the consistency rate between ultrasound diagnosis of umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops and intrao-perative diagnosis was the highest,and the difference was statistically significant with＞3 days(46.2％vs.6.30％,P＜0.05).Compared with umbilical cord around the neck 3 loops,ultrasound diagnosis of umbilical cord loops around the neck at 4 or 5 loops had a higher consistency rate with intraoperative diagnosis,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P＜0.05).④The incidence of premature delivery,neonatal asphyxia and admis-sion to neonatology in the group with umbilical cord around the neck ≥4 loops were higher than those in the group with umbilical cord around the neck 1-2 loops,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);and the gestational week and birth weight of newborns were significantly lower(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Polyhydramnios and excessively long cord are high risk factors for umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops.The closer the ultra-sound diagnosis is to the time before cesarean section and the more times the umbilical cord is around the neck in ultrasonic diagnosis,the higher the diagnostic accuracy.Fetal outcomes with umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops are worse.
