ABSTRACT
BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） is a serious global public health issue and an important risk factor for suicide attempts and completed suicide. The incidence of NSSI among adolescents in China is 27.4%. Therefore， it is critical to address NSSI and prevent its progression into more severe mental health conditions. ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the psychological experiences and needs of adolescents with NSSI behavior， so as to provide references for formulating targeted intervention strategies for this demographic. MethodsA computer search was conducted across a total of eleven databases， including Cochrane Library， Embase， PubMed， PsycINFO， Web of Science， CINAHL， Medline， CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and CBM， to gather qualitative research on the psychological experiences and needs of adolescents with NSSI behavior. The search extended from the establishment of these databases up to March， 2023. The Australian Joanna Briggs Institute （JBI） qualitative research quality evaluation tools were used to evaluate the included literature， and a Meta-synthesis method was used to integrate the results. ResultsA total of 11 studies were included， yielding 46 research findings. Similar findings were consolidated into 10 new categories， ultimately resulting in 5 synthesized outcomes， including interpersonal conflict， academic pressure and self-reflective struggles， self-injurious behaviors intertwined with inner emotions， the power of love to overcome helplessness， and adjustment and seeking positive coping strategies. ConclusionAdolescents often have experienced negative life events before NSSI behaviors， with notable conflicts in interpersonal relationships， academic pressures and family education. Following NSSI behavior， they undergo various psychological experiences， such as transient feelings of relief， dependence and guilt. In addition， they crave guidance and assistance from professionals to cope with negative emotions.［Funded by Social Psychological Service and Crisis Intervention in 2022 （number， LZXL-202213）］
ABSTRACT
Objective:To summarize the survival rate, complications, and outcomes of 32 periviable extremely preterm infants (PEPIs) born at ≤23 gestational weeks.Methods:This was a retrospective observational study involving PEPIs born at the Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2021. Clinical data of all subjects were collected and analyzed. The survival rates of PEPIs born from 2015 to 2019 and 2020 to 2021 were compared. Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test was used for statistical analysis. Results:(1) During the study period, 32 PEPIs were admitted, accounting for 0.024% (32/132 534) of all newborns born in the same hospital during the study period. The median gestational age of the 32 PEPIs was 23 weeks (21 +4-23 +6 weeks), and the birth weight was 480 g (350-720 g). (2) The survival rate of PEPIs born between 2020 and 2021 was 10/19, which appears to be a trend higher than that between 2015 and 2019 (3/13, χ2=2.79, P=0.095), while the rate of withdrawal of treatment was 8/13 and 3/19, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=7.16, P=0.007). (3) Thirteen of the 32 PEPIs survived on discharge, including four born at 22 weeks and nine at 23 weeks. The birth weights of these surviving infants were 300-<400 g in one case, 400-<500 g in five cases, 500-<600 g in four cases, 600-<700 g in one case, and ≥700 g in two cases. (4) The most common complication was moderate and severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (10/13), followed by retinopathy of prematurity requiring surgical intervention (5/13), patent ductus arteriosus requiring ligation (4/13), late-onset sepsis (2/13), necrotizing enterocolitis (stage Ⅱa or above) (2/13) and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ intraventricular hemorrhage or periventricular leukomalacia (2/13). The median duration of follow-up was ten months (6-69 months), and motor retardation occurred in three infants. Conclusions:The overall survival rate of PEPIs in our hospital is relatively high, with a lower incidence of complications during hospitalization and relatively better outcome. However, further studies are required for the long-term prognosis in this group of infants.
ABSTRACT
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a significant role in regulating a variety of biological processes. Dys-regulation of H2O2 can lead to various diseases. Although numerous fluorescent imaging probes for H2O2 have been reported, the development of H2O2 ratiometric fluorescent probe with large Stokes shift re-mains rather limited. Such probes have shown distinct advantages, such as minimized interference from environment and improved signal-to noise ratio. In this work, we reported a new pyrene-based com-pound Py-VPB as H2O2 fluorescent probe in vitro. The probe demonstrated ratiometric detection behavior, large Stokes shift and large emission shift. In addition, the probe showed high sensitivity and selectivity towards H2O2 in vitro. Based on these excellent properties, we successfully applied Py-VPB to the visualization of exogenous and endogenous H2O2 in living cells. Cell imaging study also showed that our probe was localized in the mitochondria. We envision that the probe can provide a useful tool for unmasking the biological roles of mitochondrial H2O2 in living systems.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To detect the changes of serum complement factors C3 and C4 in diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients, and to explore their role in the occurrence and development of DR.Methods:A cases-controlled study was carried out.Total of 195 patients with DR diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from December 2017 to December 2018 were selected as the DR group, 150 patients with type 2 diabetes were included as the diabetes group, and 281 simple age-related cataract or strabismus patients were collected at the same time and served as control group.Fasting venous blood was collected and serum was isolated.The concentration of C3 and C4 in serum was determined by immunoturbidimetry.The contents of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined by rate method, and the contents of total cholesterol and triglyceride were determined by enzyme method.Pearson linear correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between serum complement factors and clinical parameters.Stepwise regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of complement factor C3 and C4 expression.This study adhered to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethical Committee Review Board of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University(No.2016-81500711).Results:The concentration of serum complement factor C3 in the diabetes group was (1 154.0±177.4)mg/L, which was significantly higher than (1 077.3±177.0)mg/L in the DR group and (1 072.0±184.3)mg/L in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05); The concentration of serum complement factor C4 in the DR group was (287.5±83.5)mg/L, which was significantly higher than (257.5±70.1)mg/L in the diabetes group and (263.7±77.2)mg/L in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The correlation analysis results showed that the expression level of complement factor C3 was weakly positively correlated with total cholesterol and triglyceride in the diabetes and DR groups (diabetes group: r=0.250, P<0.05; r=0.205, P<0.05.DR group: r=0.308, P<0.01; r=0.213, P<0.01); The expression level of complement factor C4 was weakly positively correlated with total cholesterol and triglyceride in the DR group ( r=0.235, P=0.002; r=0.247, P=0.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that total cholesterol and triglyceride were the influencing factors of serum C3 and C4 expression in the DR group. Conclusions:Complement factors may participate in the pathological process of DR and serum complement factors C3 and C4 are affected by serum total cholesterol and triglyceride in DR patients.

ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of Chinese herbs for myasthenia gravis. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on Chinese medicine treatment of myasthenia gravis were systemically searched from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Weipu Database, PubMed and Cochrane Library. The information was recorded and the methodological quality of the included trials was assessed by two reviewers independently. The RevMan 5.2 software was used in the meta-analysis. The results showed that 58 RCTs involving 4 773 patients were included. The quality of included Chinese literatures was generally not high. There were four high-quality literatures; and the rest were low-quality literature. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with the effective rate of the western medicaltreatment group, there was no statistical difference between the Chinese medicine compound and the western medical treatment [RR = 1.15, 95%CI (0.94, 1.41)]. There was statistical difference between the western medical treatment plus the Chinese medicine compound group and the western medical treatment [RR = 1.10, 95%CI (1.03, 1.18)]. There was statistical difference between the western medical treatment plus the Chinese patent medicine group and the western medical treatment [RR = 1.17, 95%CI (1.08, 1.28)]. Compared with the western medical treatment group, the incidence of adverse reaction in the Chinese medicine compound plus the western medical treatment group was decreased obviously (P < 0.05). It was concluded that the current limited evidence showed that only using Chinese medicine had the similar clinical efficacy in the treatment of myasthenia gravis as western medicine. However, Chinese herbs combined with western medicine in the treatment of myasthenia gravis had better effects compared to western medicine. It can also reduce the side effects of western medicine. Especially astragalus was the most widely used herb in the Chinese medicine group. However, large-sample and high-quality clinical trials were required for further evidence.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Ban-Xia Hou-Po (BXHP) decoction in the treatment of globus hystericus. Related literatures were systemically searched in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI, 1979-2013), Weipu Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (1989-2013), and PubMed/Medline. The methodological quality of included trials was assessed based on the Jadad scale. The available data was analyzed with RevMan software (version 5.2.0) provided by the Cochrane collaboration. The results showed that a total of 6 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which contained 649 globus hystericus cases, were included. The meta-analysis showed that compared with modern medicine, the total therapeutic effect of BXHP decoction was RR=1.15, 95%CI (1.08, 1.23); compared with modern medicine treatment alone, the total therapeutic effect of combination between BXHP decoction and modern medicine was RR=1.43, 95%CI (1.19, 1.73). It was concluded that the current clinical evidences showed that the effectiveness of BXHP decoction alone or combined with modern medicine in the treatment of globus hystericus was higher than the treatment only with modern medicine. And there was no obvious side effect. However, due to the low-quality studies and small amount of samples, the results still required to be confirmed with more high-quality, multi-center, and large sample RCTs.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to explore the characteristics of flavor and nature as well as the meridian entry of Chinese medicinals in the halitosis treatment by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Test data mining was used as the basis in the study of TCM literature on halitosis treatment. Herbs from the collected TCM halitosis treatment lit-erature, which met the inclusion criteria, were classified according to their effectiveness. And analysis was made on the nature, flavor and meridian entry of these herbs. Excellwas used in the descriptive analysis in the summariza-tion of halitosis medication rules. The results showed that the frequencies were 796 times which involved 149 herbs. The main nature of halitosis medication was cold, which was followed by warm and even. The total frequency was 97.49%. Sweet was the most frequently used flavor, which was followed by bitter and acrid. These three flavors ac-counted for 90.71%. The meridian entry of medicinal was mainly the stomach meridian, which was followed by the lung, spleen, heart and liver meridian. According to the effectiveness of classification, the main effect was an-tipyretic, which was followed by tonification and dampness-removing. It was concluded that through text data min-ing, the nature of TCM halitosis treatment medication was cold with the treatment principle of heat-clearing and dampness-removing as well as spleen-strengthening and stomach harmonization. These rules provided reliable refer-ence for clinical differentiation and medication.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xi-Pa-Y i (XPY) Mouth Rinse in the treatment of simple gingivitis and improved value for halitosis. Related literatures were systematically searched in the China Na-tional Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI, 1979-2012), Weipu Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (1989-2013), PubMed and Cochrane Library. The methodological quality of included trials was assessed based on the Jadad scale. And the available data were analyzed with RevMan software (version 5.2.0). The results showed that a total of 4 stud-ies involving 360 participants satisfied the minimum criteria for meta-analysis. The evidences showed that the XPY Mouth Rinse was compared with saline or western medicine for treatment of the OS of simple gingivitis WMD (95%confidence interval) were -0.48 (-0.81, -0.16), 0.04 (-0.15, 0.22), respectively; the XPY Mouth Rinse was com-pared with saline or western medicine for treatment of simple gingivitis clinical efficacy's RR (95% confidence inter-val) were 1.67 (1.29, 2.15), 1.22 (0.35, 4.20), respectively. It was concluded that the current clinical evidence showed that the effectiveness of XPY Mouth Rinse in the treatment of simple gingivitis was higher than the saline. It had similar effects with western medicine, which can reduce the OS, and with no significant side effects and easy to take. However, due to the low quality studies and small sample amount, it is still need to be confirmed by the high-quality, multi-center, large sample, randomized, double-blind clinical controlled trials.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the potential mechanism of abnormal behavior resulted from maternal separation in neo-natal period in rat. Methods Neonatal rats were equally and randomly divided into maternal separation group and control group. The rats in maternal separation group were separated from the dam for 3h per day on postnatal days (PND) 2 to 21, nothing was done to the rats in the control group. The brain tissues were taken out after being killed on PND 7, 14, and 21. The expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP in hippocampal formation were detected by immunohistochemistry. Semiquantitative assessment of immunohistochemical images was performed by Image-Pro Plus software. Results Compared with control groups, the expres-sion of Caveolin-l on PND 7 had no signiifcant change, while BDNF and GFAP were signiifcantly increased in maternal separa-tion group (P<0.05). On PND 14 and 21, the expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP were signiifcantly decreased in maternal separation group (P<0.05). Conclusions Decreased expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP caused by maternal separation in neonatal period may be associated with abnormal behaviors in adulthood in rat.
