Objective: To construct a nonsuicidal selfinjury (NSSI) risk prediction model for middle school students using different machine learning algorithms and evaluate the models effectiveness, so as to provide guidance for the prevention and control of NSSI in campus. Methods: In March 2023, a total of 3 372 middle and high school students from schools in Nanchang, Fuzhou and Shangrao cities in Jiangxi Province were selected by combining stratified random cluster sampling and convenient sampling methods. Questionnaire surveys were conducted using various instruments including general information questionnaire, Selfesteem Scale, Ottawa Selfinjury Scale, Social Support Assessment Scale, Chinese Version of the Olweus Bullying Questionnaire, Event Attribution Style Scale, Adolescent Resilience Scale, and Adolescent Life Events Scale. Data were divided into training set (n=2 361) and test set (n=1 011) at a ratio of 7∶3, and variables were selected based on univariate and LASSO regression results. Four machine learning algorithms including namely random forest, support vector machine, Logistic regression and XGBoost, were used to construct NSSI risk prediction models, and the models performance was evaluated and compared using metrics including area under curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and F1 score. Results: The detection rate of NSSI among middle school students was 34.4%. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in NSSI detection rates among middle school students of different grades, genders, registered residence locations, whether they were class cadres and four types of bullying (physical, verbal, relational bullying and cyberbullying) (χ2=27.17, 15.81, 11.54, 4.63；68.22, 140.63, 77.81, 13.95, P<0.05). NSSI was included as the dependent variable in the LASSO regression model for variable screening, and the results regression identified 10 predictive variables including grade level, selfesteem, subjective support, support utilization, verbal bullying, emotional control, interpersonal relationships, punishment, loss of relatives and property, and health and adaptation issues. The AUC values of random forest, support vector machine, Logistic regression, and XGBoost algorithms were 0.76, 0.76, 0.76 and 0.77, respectively, with no statistically significant differences between pairwise comparisons (Z=-0.59-0.82, P>0.05). Sensitivity values were 0.62, 0.61, 0.62 and 0.61, respectively. Specificity values were 0.74, 0.78, 0.78 and 0.78, respectively. Positive predictive values were 0.56, 0.59, 0.60 and 0.59, respectively. Negative predictive values were 0.79, 0.79, 0.80 and 0.79, respectively. F1 scores were 0.59, 0.60, 0.61 and 0.60, respectively. Conclusions All four nonsuicidal selfinjury risk prediction models perform well, with the Logistic regression model slightly outperforming the others. Schools and parents should pay attention to the predictive factors corresponding to NSSI, so as to reduce the occurrence of NSSI among middle school students.

3D bioprinting technology is a rapidly developing technique that employs bioinks containing biological materials and living cells to construct biomedical products. However, 3D-printed tissues are static, while human tissues are in real-time dynamic states that can change in morphology and performance. To improve the compatibility between in vitro and in vivo environments, an in vitro tissue engineering technique that simulates this dynamic process is required. The concept of 4D printing, which combines "3D printing + time" provides a new approach to achieving this complex technique. 4D printing involves applying one or more smart materials that respond to stimuli, enabling them to change their shape, performance, and function under the corresponding stimulus to meet various needs. This article focuses on the latest research progress and potential application areas of 4D printing technology in the cardiovascular system, providing a theoretical and practical reference for the development of this technology.

Gas vesicles (GVs) are gas-filled protein nanostructures that can regulate the buoyancy of microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and archaea. Recent studies have shown that GVs have the potential to be used as ultrasound molecular imaging probes in disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the mechanism of the inflation and deflation of GVs remains unclear, which hampers the preservation of GVs and gas replacement. In the present study, the environmental pH value was found to be an important factor in regulating the inflation and deflation of GVs. It can not only regulate the inflation and deflation of GVs in vivo to make Microcystis sp. cells present distinct levitation state, but also regulate the inflation and deflation of purified GVs in vitro, and the regulation process is reversible. Our results may provide a technical support for the large-scale production and preservation of biosynthetic ultrasound molecular imaging probes, especially for gas replacement to meet different diagnostic and therapeutic needs, and would facilitate the application of biosynthetic ultrasound molecular imaging probes.

Objective: To investigate the outbreak of mumps in a remote village school of Zhaoqing City, to evaluate and vaccine effectiveness ( VE ) of mumps containing vaccine (MuCV), so as to provide reference for the formulation of epidemic prevention and control strategies. Methods: Through on site case investigations and interviews, case data and epidemic related epidemiological information were obtained. Descriptive and retrospective cohort studies were used to analyze the epidemic characteristics, explore risk factors, and evaluate the protective effect of vaccines. Results: Totally 166 cases of mumps were found, and all of them were students. The total attack rate was 7.79% and the outbreak lasted for 60 days. The first case occurred on October 11th and the last case occurred on December 9th in 2018. Most of the cases aged from 10 to 13 years old, accounting for 66.27%. There were 96 male patients and 70 female patients, with no statistically significant sex difference in the incidence rate ( χ 2=2.40, P >0.05). Involving 28 classes, 11 of which had an incidence rate more than 10%, mainly distributed in grades 2, 4 and 6. There were statistically significant differences in incidence rates among different grades ( χ 2=96.89, P <0.01) and different floors ( χ 2=67.35, P < 0.01 ), with the third floor higher than the other floors. Twelve out of 58 boarding pupils were cases, and boarding pupils were 1.89 times higher in risk of contracting mumps than day students ( RR=1.89, 95%CI =1.10-3.23). Pupils without being given the shot of MuCV were higher in the infection rate than those having the shot ( χ 2=5.70, P <0.05), and the VE % was 35% (95% CI = 7%- 55%). The VE % of one dose was 34% (4%-54%), while the effectiveness of protection was declined with time ( χ 2 trend =6.53, P < 0.05). The effectiveness of vaccine almost diasappeared six years after the shot ( χ 2=1.12, P >0.05). Conclusion Delayed case report and isolation, low rate of receiving MuCV, and decreasing effectiveness of one shot MuCV are closely assocaited with the outbreak and ongoing spread of the epidemic.

Objective:To assess the predictive efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT-based radiomics models for the mutation status of Kirsten rats sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:From January 2016 to January 2021, the 18F-FDG PET/CT images and KRAS testing of 258 NSCLC patients (180 males, 78 females; age: 33-91 years) in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were randomly divided into training set ( n=180) and validation set ( n=78) in the ratio of 7∶3. Tumor lesions on PET and CT images were drawn respectively, and the radiomics features of PET and CT lesions were extracted. The radiomics features were screened by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). CT radiomics score (RS) model, PET/CT RS model and composite models of PET/CT RS combined with screened clinical information were eventually developed. ROC curves were used to assess the predictive efficacy of these models. Results:The CT RS model included 4 radiomics features and the PET/CT RS model included 4 CT radiomics features and 8 PET radiomics features. The CT RS model and the PET/CT RS model both had significant differences in RS between KRAS mutant and wild-type patients in the training set and validation set ( z values: from -8.30 to -4.10, all P<0.001). In predicting KRAS mutations, the composite model of PET/CT RS combined with age showed AUCs of 0.879 and 0.852 in the training and validation sets respectively, which were higher than those of the CT RS model (0.813 and 0.770) and the PET/CT RS model (0.858 and 0.834). The accuracy of the composite model of PET/CT RS combined with age were 81.67%(147/180) and 79.49%(62/78) in the training set and validation set respectively, which were also higher than those of the CT RS model (75.00%(135/180) and 74.36%(58/78)) and the PET/CT RS model (78.89%(142/180) and 78.21%(61/78)). Conclusion:Models based on radiomics features can predict KRAS gene mutation status, and the composite model combining PET/CT RS and age can improve the prediction performance.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.

Objective: To explore the association between exposure to bedroom night light during sleep and emotional symptoms in children and provide a scientific basis for subsequent effective prevention and intervention. Methods: In December 2021, 1 926 students from grades 4 to 6 were recruited to conduct a student questionnaire survey in two primary schools in Tianchang of Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. The data, including general demographic information, use of night lights and curtains, emotional symptoms, and other information, was collected. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the correlation between night light use and children s emotional symptoms. Results: The reporting rates of depression symptoms, generalized anxiety symptoms, social phobia, and obsessive compulsive symptoms of the children were 2.5%, 2.6%, 3.4% and 2.5%, respectively. About 12.6% of children often sleep with a night light on, and 22.0% of children did not close the curtains. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that frequent sleep with night lights was associated with an increased risk of depression symptoms( OR=2.29, 95%CI = 1.04- 5.03), social phobia ( OR=1.93, 95%CI =1.02-3.64) and obsessivecompulsive symptoms ( OR=3.44, 95%CI =1.72-6.88) in children( P < 0.05). Conclusion There is a positive correlation between bedroom night light exposure during sleep and the detection rate of children s emotional symptoms. The attention should be paid to bedroom light environment of children during sleep to reduce the adverse effects of night light exposure on the mental health.

AIM:To investigate the effect of hypoxia-preconditioned human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(hUCMSC-Exos)on pulmonary vascular endothelial-mesenchymal transition(EndMT)in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension(HPH).METHODS:(1)Primary hUCMSCs were isolated and cultured by tissue adhesion method,and hUCMSC-Exos were extracted by ultrafiltration and identified.(2)Twenty-four SPF male SD rats were ran-domly divided into normoxia(N)group,hypoxia(H)group,hypoxia+normoxic hUCMSC-Exos group and hypoxia+hypoxia-preconditioned hUCMSC-Exos group,with 6 rats in each group.The rats in H group and intervention groups were placed in a cabin that simulated the hypoxic environment at an altitude of 5 000 m,and normoxic hUCMSC-Exos,hypoxia-precon-ditioned hUCMSC-Exos or equivalent volume of PBS were injected through the tail vein on the 3rd,5th,7th,10th and 14th days in hypoxia environment.After 21 d of modeling,the right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP)and right ven-tricular hypertrophy index(RVHI)of the rats were detected,and the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed by HE staining.(3)After starvation for 12 h,human pulmonary arteriole endothelial cells(HPAECs)were randomly di-vided into normoxic control(N-Con)group,hypoxic model(H-Con)group,hypoxia+normoxic hUCMSC-Exos group and hypoxia+hypoxia-preconditioned hUCMSC-Exos group.The migration ability and tube formation ability of HPAECs were detected by Transwell assay and tube formation experiment.The expression of CD31 and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)in HPAECs was detected by immunofluorescence double-staining.The protein levels of CD31,VE-cadherin,α-SMA and vimentin in pulmonary vessels and HPAECs were assessed by Western blot.RESULTS:(1)The HPH rat model was suc-cessfully established after 21 d of hypoxia,and EndMT occurred in pulmonary vessels.Compared with N group,the levels of RVSP,RVHI,percentage of vascular wall area(WA%)and percentage of vascular wall thickness(WT%)in H group were significantly increased(P＜0.01),pulmonary vascular wall thickening and the protein levels of CD31 and VE-cad-herin were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),while the protein levels of α-SMA and vimentin were significantly increased in pulmonary vessels(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with H group,the RVSP,RVHI,WA%and WT%(P＜0.01)were significantly decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and pulmonary vascular remodeling was attenuated after normoxic or hypoxia-preconditioned hUCMSC-Exos intervention.After hypoxia-preconditioned hUCMSC-Exos intervention,HPH pul-monary vascular remodeling and EndMT formation were significantly inhibited.(2)After 48 h of hypoxic treatment,the migration,tubule formation and EndMT of HPAECs were induced.Compared with H-Con group,cell migration and tube formation were significantly decreased after hypoxia-preconditioned hUCMSC-Exos intervention(P＜0.01).The protein levels of CD31 and VE-cadherin were increased,while the protein levels of α-SMA and vimentin were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:Hypoxia-preconditioned hUCMSC-Exos attenuate the formation of HPH pulmonary vascu-lar remodeling by inhibiting pulmonary vascular EndMT.

Objective:To analyze the expression and clinical significance of SHC SH2-binding protein 1(SHCBP1)in lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD).Methods:Oncomine,TIMER,UALCAN,GEPIA,Kaplan-Meier plotter and STRING databases were used to explore the effect of SHCBP1 on progression and immune infiltration of LUAD.Results:Expression of SHCBP1 mRNA in LUAD tissue was significantly higher than that in normal lung tissue(P<0.05).Expression of SHCBP1 mRNA was significantly increased in LUAD patients with smoking history,nodal metastasis,late clinical stage and TP53 mutation(P<0.05).Survival analysis by GEPIA and Kaplan-Meier plotter databases showed that LUAD patients with high SHCBP1 mRNA expression had a lower overall survival rate(P<0.05).SHCBP1 mRNA was correlated with immune cell infiltration,immune cell markers and immune checkpoint expression in LUAD.Conclusion:High expression of SHCBP1 is related to poor prognosis and tumor immune infiltration of LUAD patients.
