Objective: To explore the assocation of the family environment and depressive symptoms among primary and middle school students, so as to provide suggestions for further maximizing the utility of family environment in the growth of primary and secondary school students, as well as prevention and intervention of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents. Methods: From June to July 2024, through a multistage cluster random sampling method, 8 800 primary and middle school students aged 10 to 18 from 36 schools in 3 cities (Datong, Lvliang, Linfen) in Shanxi Province. A self designed questionnaire was used to conduct a family environment survey, including family socioeconomic conditions, family structure, family parenting behavior, family member health behavior, etc; and the depression symptoms of primary and secondary school students were investigated by Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The χ 2 test and binary Logistic regression to method were used to analyze the association of the family environment with depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students, and to analyze gender and urban-rural heterogeneity in this association. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among primary and middle school students was 46.7% ( n = 4 111 ). Among them, the detection rates of depressive symptoms for male and female students were 45.7% and 47.7% respectively, and the detection rates for rural and urban students were 48.0% and 44.9% respectively. The results of binary Logistic regression model showed that in the family environment, factors such as the father s education level (junior high school: OR =0.84), self assessed family socio economic status (average: OR =0.78, good: OR =0.80), parental support and understanding (yes: OR = 0.55 ), family atmosphere (harmonious: OR =0.66), living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.31, living with parents and grandparents: OR =1.19), and family rearing style (combining punishment and reward: OR =1.42, punishment only: OR =1.25) were related to depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students in Shanxi Province ( P <0.05). From the perspective of gender heterogeneity, the living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.67, others: OR =1.67) had a statistically significant association with depressive symptoms in male students ( P <0.05). From the perspective of urban rural heterogeneity, the living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.38) had a statistically significant association with depressive symptoms in rural primary and middle school students ( P <0.05). Conclusions The family environment has an important impact on depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students. Family functioning should be fully exerted to prevent depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students.

Objective: To explore the safety and feasibility of the disconnection of the left renal artery preferentially during robot-assisted inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy for patients with left renal cell carcinoma and tumor emboli. Methods: Clinical data of 7 patients who underwent robot-assisted IVC thrombectomy and radical nephrectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during Dec.2021 and Oct.2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Thrombectomy was performed first，followed by nephrectomy. The “IVC-first, kidney-last”robotic technique was developed to minimize chances of IVC thrombus. When patients in left lateral decubitus position, the left renal artery was severed from the right side through the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta. After removal of thrombus from IVC was completed, patients changed to the right lateral position to complete radical left nephrectomy. Results: Imaging examinations revealed that the median diameter of the renal cell carcinomas was 83(46-99) mm; the median length of the inferior vena cava cancerous emboli was 49(2-91) mm.According to the Mayo classification，the cancerous emboli were gradeⅠ in 2 cases，gradeⅡ in 4 cases，and grade Ⅲ in 1 case.All surgeries were successful.The median operation time was 248(201-331) minutes，blood loss 500(200-1000) mL，and 6 cases required intraoperative blood transfusion.The median time for transition into the intensive care unit was 1(1-4) days，and drainage tube removal 6(5-12) days.Serum creatinine increased significantly in 5 cases，4 of which returned to normal after 1 week，but 1 had renal insufficiency (creatinine 166 μmol/L).Chylous fistula occurred in 1 patient，and lower extremity venous thrombosis developed in 3 patients.Pathological examinations indicated 6 cases of renal cell carcinoma and 1 case of MiT family translocation renal cell carcinoma.During the median follow-up of 17(1-35) months，5 cases were tumor-free，while 2 had lung and retroperitoneal metastases.They received targeted therapy of axitinib combined immunotheraphy and lived with tumors. Conclusion: In the left lateral position for left renal cell carcinoma with cancerous emboli，robot-assisted laparoscopic thrombectomy by crossing the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta and disconnecting the left renal artery first is safe and feasible.

Objective: To investigate factors associated with life satisfaction among adolescents who have been relocated for poverty alleviation,so as to provide scientific evidence to support adolescent physical and mental well being. Methods: A multi stage stratified random sampling was conducted from June to August 2023 across 24 relocation sites in 8 counties of 4 cities in Shanxi Province. A total of 631 adolescents aged 10-19 were surveyed regarding personal characteristics, family environment, health behaviors, mental health, and social capital. Univariate analysis of variance and binary Logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors. Results: The life satisfaction rate of the relocated adolescents was 63.9%(403/631), and the average score of life satisfaction was (23.21±6.28). The Logistic regression analysis showed that, significant factors affecting life satisfaction of the relocated adolescents included age (17-19 years old: AOR= 0.54 , 95%CI =0.33-0.88), subjective family economic status (moderate: AOR=1.70, 95%CI =1.04-2.76; good: AOR=6.95, 95%CI =1.85-26.16), sleep quality (good: AOR=1.61, 95%CI =1.09-2.38), depression ( AOR=0.94, 95%CI =0.90-0.99), and social capital ( AOR=1.17, 95%CI =1.10-1.23)( P <0.05). Conclusions The satisfaction of 17-19 year old adolescents who have relocated for poverty alleviation is relatively low, while those with better family economic status, high sleep quality, low depression level and rich social capital showed high life satisfaction. Targeted interventions by families, communities, schools, and social institutions are recommended to improve adolescents quality of life.

BACKGROUND:Scaffold materials serve as platforms that provide space and structure,playing a crucial role in the regeneration of cartilage tissue.Scholars from around the world are exploring different approaches to fabricate more ideal scaffold materials. OBJECTIVE:To review the design principles and preparation methods of cartilage scaffolds,and to further explore the advantages and limitations of various preparation methods. METHODS:Literature searches were conducted on the databases of CNKI,WanFang Data,PubMed,and FMRS from 1998 to 2023.The search terms were"cartilage repair,cartilage tissue engineering,cartilage scaffold materials,preparation"in Chinese and English.A total of 57 articles were ultimately reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The articular cartilage has a unique structure and limited self-repair capacity after injury.Even if self-repair occurs,the newly formed cartilage is typically fibrocartilage,which is far inferior to normal articular cartilage in terms of structure and mechanical properties.It is difficult to maintain normal function and often leads to degenerative changes.Currently,the design and fabrication of scaffold materials for cartilage repair need to consider the following aspects:biocompatibility and biodegradability,suitable pore structure and porosity,appropriate mechanical properties,and bioactivity.(2)Research on the preparation of cartilage scaffolds has made significant progress,continuously introducing new preparation methods and optimization strategies.These methods have their advantages and disadvantages,providing more possibilities for customized preparation and functional design of cartilage scaffolds according to specific requirements.

BACKGROUND:Bone formation is the process by which osteoblasts synthesize and secrete osteoid and promote its mineralization,which generally involves mechanical signal transduction.Osteoblasts are primarily regulated by mechanical factors such as gravity,compressive stress,tensile stress,fluid shear stress,and hydrostatic pressure in vivo,and different mechanical stimuli modulate the proliferation,differentiation,and apoptosis of osteoblasts through various mechanisms,including hormones,cytoskeletal proteins,and microRNAs.By clarifying the effects of biomechanical forces on osteoblasts,it provides ideas and a reference basis for the treatment of osteometabolic diseases involving osteoblasts. OBJECTIVE:To review the effects of different biomechanical forces on the biological characteristics of osteoblasts. METHODS:We conducted a literature search using PubMed,Web of Science,FMRS,CNKI,and WanFang databases for relevant publications published from 2000 to 2023,covering basic research and tissue engineering studies related to the effects of biomechanical forces on osteoblasts.Ultimately,a total of 70 articles were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Different biomechanical forces have an impact on the biological characteristics of osteoblasts,including proliferation,differentiation,and apoptosis,and these effects are dependent on the intensity and duration of the applied force.Specifically,the effects are as follows:(1)Under microgravity conditions,osteoblast proliferation and differentiation are inhibited,resulting in a decrease in bone density and the development of osteoporosis.(2)Compared to microgravity,hypergravity has a promoting effect on osteoblast proliferation.(3)The effects of compressive stress on osteoblasts are dependent on the loading intensity and time.Appropriate compressive stress can promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation,which is beneficial for bone tissue formation and repair,while excessive compressive stress can cause osteoblast apoptosis and bone tissue destruction.(4)The biological effects of different types of tensile stress on osteoblasts differ.Studies have shown that a strain rate within the range of 0-12%has a promoting effect on osteoblast proliferation.(5)Fluid shear stress can promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation and enhance the bone-inducing effect of biomaterials.(6)Static hydrostatic pressure can affect the biological behavior of osteoblasts,including proliferation,differentiation,and apoptosis,and these effects are closely related to the time and intensity of the pressure.Understanding the effects of different biomechanical forces on osteoblasts is of great significance for a deeper understanding of bone growth and maintenance mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To observe the preventive and therapeutic effect of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder on cancer-related fatigue in postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy patients with breast cancer, and to provide a basis for using traditional Chinese medicine processed by modern processing to effectively improve the quality of life of cancer patients. METHODS Seventy-four female patients who received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from November 2021 to March 2023 were randomly divided into either treatment(n=37) or control group(n=37). Both groups were given 4 cycles of epirubicin(or liposomal doxorubicin) combined with cyclophosphamide adjuvant chemotherapy and corresponding symptomatic treatment: the treatment group was treated with sporoderm-removed Ganoderma lucidum spore powder 2 g·d–1, and the control group was treated with placebo. The incidence and severity of cancer-related fatigue, the changes in T lymphocyte subsets, serum inflammatory factors, intestinal flora, and the effects of drugs on blood routine, liver, and kidney function were compared between the two groups after treatment. RESULTS The incidence of cancer-related fatigue and the score of the Piper correction scale in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05), the proportion of CD3+, CD4+, and CD3-CD56+ was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05), while the proportion of CD8+ was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). The counts of IL-2 and IL-10 were higher than those in the control group, while the counts of IL-6, IL-8, and CRP were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). The counts of leukocytes, neutrophils, and platelets in the control group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05), and the abundance of intestinal microflora in the control group was higher than that in the control group. There was no significant difference in liver and kidney function between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION Sporoderm-removed Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can significantly reduce the incidence and level of cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients during adjuvant chemotherapy, inhibit inflammatory factors, regulate intestinal flora and body immunity.

OBJECTIVE To establish a rapid nondestructive detection method for the sporoderm-broken rate of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder by hyperspectral technology combined with chemometrics. METHODS Hyperspectral images of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder samples with different sporoderm-broken rates were collected, and spectral data in the visible-shortwave near-infrared band(397−1 004 nm) range of each sample were calculated after selecting the region of interest. Compared 6 spectral preprocessing methods[standard normal variable transformation, multivariate scattering correction, Savitsky-Golay(SG) smoothing, wavelet transform, SG smoothing+standard normal variable transformation, and SG smoothing+multivariate scattering correction], 5 characteristic band extraction methods(competitive adaptive reweighting, successive projections algorithm, uninformative variables elimination, least angle regression, and genetic algorithm), and 5 algorithms(partial least squares regression, support vector regression, extreme learning machine, multilayer perceptron, and LightGBM) for constructing quantitative correction models to predicts performance. RESULTS The optimal combination was SG smoothing+competitive adaptive reweighted feature band selection+partial least squares. The quantitative correction model established based on the algorithm combination achieved a prediction set coefficient of 0.868 2, and a root mean square error of 0.011 7 for Ganoderma lucidum spore powder samples with a sporoderm-broken rate range of 90%−100%. The selected optimal algorithm combination was applied to construct a quantitative correction model with a sporoderm-broken rate range of 0−100%, the coefficient of determination for the test set was 0.973 1 and the root mean square error was 0.049 3, showing good generalization ability. CONCLUSION The established quantitative detection model can realize the rapid and non-destructive detection of the sporoderm-broken rate of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, which provides technical support for the quality control of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder and its products.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and postoperative urinary control between robot-assisted radical prostatectomy(RARP)with posterior-anterior-lateral(PAL)approach and with anterior(conventional)approach using propensity score matching method.Methods Clinical data of 145 patients undergoing RARP in our hospital during Jan.2020 and Jan.2023 were retrospectively analyzed,including 122 patients in the conventional group and 23 in the PAL group.The patients were matched by 2∶1 propensity score matching,including 46 cases in the conventional group and 23 in the PAL group.The perioperative outcomes were compared of prostate cancer(PCa)patients undergoing RARP surgery with different approaches before and after matching,including operation time,intraoperative blood loss,pelvic drainage time,hospitalization days,preservation of neurovascular bundles(NVB)during surgery,deep dorsal venous complex(DVC)suture,reconstruction of bladder neck,and postoperative urinary control recovery rate after extubation immediately,and 1,3,and 6 months after surgery.Results There were no significant differences in baseline data,operation time,bleeding volume,pelvic drainage time,hospitalization days,preservation of NVB,and reconstruction of bladder neck between the two groups(P＞0.05).The PAL group used less DVC suture during surgery(30.4％vs.100％,P＜0.001),but had better urinary control recovery rate immediately after extubation,1,3 and 6 months after surgery(P＜0.05).Conclusion RARP with PAL approach is as safe and effective as the conventional approach,and has significant advantages in early postoperative urinary control.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the effect of a nanomaterial-based miR-320a inhibitor sustained release system in trauma-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (TIONFH). METHODS: The miR-320a inhibitor-loaded polyethylene glycol (PEG)- Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)- Poly-L-lysine (PLL) nanoparticles were constructed using the double emulsion method. The TIONFH rabbit model was established to observe the effects of miR-320a inhibitor nanoparticles in vivo. Hematoxylin–eosin staining and microcomputed tomography scanning were used for bone morphology analysis. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), derived from TIONFH rabbits, were used for in vitro experiments. Cell viability was determined using the MTT assay. RESULTS: High expression of miR-320a inhibited the osteogenic differentiation capacity of BMSCs in vitro by inhibiting the expression of the osteoblastic differentiation markers ALP and RUNX2. MiR-320a inhibitor-loaded PEG-PLGA-PLL nanoparticles were constructed with a mean loading efficiency of 1.414 ± 0.160%, and a mean encapsulation efficiency of 93.45 ± 1.24%, which released 50% of the loaded miR-320a inhibitor at day 12 and 80% on day 18. Then, inhibitor release entered the plateau. After treatment with the miR-320a inhibitor nanoparticle, the empty lacunae were decreased in the femoral head tissue of TIONFH rabbits, and the osteoblast surface/bone surface (Ob.S/BS), osteoblast number/bone perimeter (Ob.N/B.Pm), bone volume fraction, and bone mineral density increased. Additionally, the expression of osteogenic markers RUNX2 and ALP was significantly elevated in the TIONFH rabbit model. CONCLUSION The miR-320a inhibitor-loaded PEG-PLGA-PLL nanoparticle sustained drug release system significantly contributed to bone regeneration in the TIONFH rabbit model, which might be a promising strategy for the treatment of TIONFH.
