Psychological experiences in adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury behavior： a qualitative Meta-synthesis / 四川精神卫生

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）］

Platelet RNA enables accurate detection of ovarian cancer: an intercontinental, biomarker identification study

Platelets are reprogrammed by cancer via a process called education, which favors cancer development. The transcriptional profile of tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) is skewed and therefore practicable for cancer detection. This intercontinental, hospital-based, diagnostic study included 761 treatment-naïve inpatients with histologically confirmed adnexal masses and 167 healthy controls from nine medical centers (China, n = 3; Netherlands, n = 5; Poland, n = 1) between September 2016 and May 2019. The main outcomes were the performance of TEPs and their combination with CA125 in two Chinese (VC1 and VC2) and the European (VC3) validation cohorts collectively and independently. Exploratory outcome was the value of TEPs in public pan-cancer platelet transcriptome datasets. The AUCs for TEPs in the combined validation cohort, VC1, VC2, and VC3 were 0.918 (95% CI 0.889-0.948), 0.923 (0.855-0.990), 0.918 (0.872-0.963), and 0.887 (0.813-0.960), respectively. Combination of TEPs and CA125 demonstrated an AUC of 0.922 (0.889-0.955) in the combined validation cohort; 0.955 (0.912-0.997) in VC1; 0.939 (0.901-0.977) in VC2; 0.917 (0.824-1.000) in VC3. For subgroup analysis, TEPs exhibited an AUC of 0.858, 0.859, and 0.920 to detect early-stage, borderline, non-epithelial diseases and 0.899 to discriminate ovarian cancer from endometriosis. TEPs had robustness, compatibility, and universality for preoperative diagnosis of ovarian cancer since it withstood validations in populations of different ethnicities, heterogeneous histological subtypes, and early-stage ovarian cancer. However, these observations warrant prospective validations in a larger population before clinical utilities.

Clinicopathological and therapeutic analysis of Castleman's disease in children / 中华儿科杂志

Objective: To investigate the clinical features, pathological phenotype, treatment and prognosis of Castleman's disease in children. Methods: Clinical data of 15 children diagnosed with Castleman's disease in Henan Provincial People's Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2010 to October 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics, laboratory examination and histopathological data were analyzed. Results: Among the 15 Castleman's disease patients, 12 were males and 3 females. The age of first visit was 12 (10, 15) years. The time from mass discovery to pathologic diagnosis was 9.0 (2.0, 13.0) months. The majority of patients were unicentric (13 cases), and the histopathological type was hyaline vascular (11 cases). Unicentric lesions were most common in the neck (11 cases), all 13 patients received complete surgical resection of the lesions, the follow-up time was 20.0 (13.5, 50.5) months, and the prognosis was good. Two cases were multicentric type, the pathological types were mixed variant, meeting the criteria of idiopathic Castleman's disease, the two children underwent partial surgical resection, one was treated with rituximab and prednisone and the other was treated with thalidomide and prednisone. The follow-up time was 32 months and 10 month, both of them had good prognosis. Conclusions: Most cases of Castleman's disease in children are diagnosed late, and the unicentric type is dominant. The most common pathological type is hyaline vascular, which is characterized by painless lymphadenopathy, while multicentric type has systemic symptoms and both of them have a good overall prognosis.

A novel nomogram for individualized preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma / 中华外科杂志

Objective: Constructing and validating a nomogram model for preoperative prediction of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) lymph node metastasis to assist decision making during surgery. Methods: Retrospectively collecting the clinical and pathological data of 1 031 ICC patients who underwent partial hepatectomy at Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of Naval Military Medical University,General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command,or Zhongda Hospital Southeast University from January 2003 to January 2014. There were 682 males and 349 females; mean age was 54.7 years(range:18 to 82 years). There were 562 patients who underwent lymph node dissection and 469 patients who did not. Among the patients in the dissection group,Lasso regression method was used to filtrate preoperative variables related to lymph node metastasis and establish a nomogram. Bootstrap method was used to internally validate the discrimination of the nomogram,and the accuracy of the nomogram was assessed by using calibration curves. Patients were divided into low-moderate and high-risk groups based on model prediction probability. Propensity score matching(PSM) was used to analyze the overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients with and without lymph node dissection in the two groups,and to judge the importance of lymph node dissection in the two groups. Results: Six factors related to ICC lymph node metastasis were determined by Lasso regression,including hepatitis B surface antigen,CA19-9,age,lymphadenopathy,carcinoembryo antigen and maximum tumor diameter. These factors were integrated into a nomogram to predict ICC lymph node metastasis. The aera under curve value was 0.764,and the C-index was 0.754. Stratified analysis showed that OS and RFS in the high-risk group of lymph node metastasis were significantly lower than those in the low-medium risk group(median OS:14.6 months vs. 27.0 months,P<0.01; median RFS:9.1 months vs. 15.5 months,P<0.01). In the high-risk group,the median OS was 16.7 months and 6.3 months(Log-rank test: P=0.187;Wilcoxon test:P=0.046),and the median RFS was 11.0 months and 4.8 months(P=0.403),respectively in the lymph node dissection group and undissected group after PSM. In the low-medium-risk group,the median OS was 22.7 months and 26.7 months(P=0.288),and the median RFS was 13.0 months and 14.5 months(P=0.306),respectively in the lymph node dissection group and undissected group after PSM. Conclusions: The nomogram could be used for preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis and prognostic stratification in patients with ICC. For patients with high risk of lymph node metastasis predicted by the model,active dissection should be performed. For patients predicted to be at low-moderate risk,lymph node dissection might be optional in some specific cases.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of a 3D printed personalized composite template in the high tibial osteotomy for genu varum.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 12 patients with genu varum who had been treated by high tibial osteotomy assisted by a 3D printed composite template at Department of Orthopaedics, The Third Hospital of Changsha between May 2016 and March 2019. They mere 2 men and 10 women, with a mean age of 55.1 years(range, from 46 to 65 years). Before operation, 3D printing technology was used to design and print a personalized composite osteotomy template for each patient. All patients underwent knee arthroscopy before osteotomy. The personalized 3D printed composite template was used to assist the high tibial osteotomy. The therapeutic outcomes were evaluated by comparison of posterior tibial slope angle (PTS), patellar height (Insall-Salvatti index), femorotibial angle, weight-bearing line (WBL) and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) on X-ray radiographs, American Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and visual analogy scale (VAS) between pre-operation and 12 months after operation.Results:The 12 patients were followed up for 15 to 36 months after operation, with an average of 14.7 months. All wounds healed at the first stage after operation with no complications like infection, nerve injury, deep vein thrombosis at lower limbs, delayed fracture union or nonunion. Follow-ups revealed no such complications as plate breakage or internal fixation loosening. The values of femorotibial angle (181.09°±3.94°), WBL (19.11%±17.61%), MPTA (81.20°±1.15°), HSS (87.6±7.1) and VAS[0(0, 1)] at 12 months after operation were significantly improved compared with those before operation[171.79°±2.77°, 61.71%±2.14%, 88.06°±1.44°, 64.6±12.9 and 4 (3,5) , respectively] (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in PTS or Insall-Salvatti index between pre-operation and 12 months post-operation ( P>0.05). According to the HSS scores at the last follow-up, the efficacy was excellent in 10 knees, good in one and fair in one. Conclusion:A 3D printed composite osteotomy template can lead to precise correction of alignment of lower limbs in the high tibial osteotomy for genu varum, resulting in good short-term outcomes.

Reference ranges of platelet and related parameters within 24 hours after birth in preterm infants with different gestational ages / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To study the reference ranges of platelet and related parameters within 24 hours after birth in preterm infants with different gestational ages.@*METHODS@#According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a retrospective analysis was performed for the chart review data of 1 070 preterm infants with a gestational age of 23-36 weeks who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January to December in 2018. The reference ranges of platelet parameters were calculated for the preterm infants within 24 hours after birth.@*RESULTS@#There were no significant differences in platelet count (PLT) and plateletcrit (PCT) among the preterm infants with different gestational ages (P>0.05). The late preterm infants (34-36 weeks; n=667) had significantly lower mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) than the extremely preterm infants (23-27 weeks; n=36) and the early preterm infants (28-33 weeks; n=367) (P0.05). The reference ranges of platelet parameters in preterm infants were calculated based on gestational age. The reference ranges of PLT and PCT were (92-376)×10/L and 0.1%-0.394% respectively, for the preterm infants with a gestational age of 23-36 weeks. The reference ranges of MPV and PDW were 9.208-12.172 fl and 8.390%-16.407% respectively, for the preterm infants with a gestational age of 23-36 weeks; the reference ranges of MPV and PDW were 9.19-11.95 fl and 9.046%-15.116% respectively, for the preterm infants with a gestational age of 34-36 weeks.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The MPV and PDW of preterm infants with different gestational age are different within 24 hours after birth, and it is more helpful for clinical practice to formulate the reference range of MPV and PDW according to gestational age.

A predictive risk score model of textbook outcome for patients undergoing curative-intent resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma / 中国实用外科杂志

OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk factors and develop a risk score model for the textbook outcome(TO)among patients undergoing curative-intent resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC).METHODS: Theclinicopathological data of 261 ICC patients between January 2011 and January 2017 in Zhongda Hospital of SoutheastUniversity and No.81 Hospital of PLA undergoing partial hepatectomy were retrospectively collected. Logistic regressionanalyses were performed to determine the significant risk factors for predicting TO.RESULTS: A total of 261 patientsundergoing curative-intent resection of ICC were enrolled in the study. Among them,TO was achieved in 67 patients(25.7%). A multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that older age,non-cirrhosis,reduced operative duration,and T1 a stage disease were independently associated with achieving a TO. A risk score to assess the probability of TOwas developed according the above four risk factors and had good accuracy and satisfactory calibration(χ~2=1.350,P=0.853).CONCLUSION: Younger ICC patients with short operation duration,no cirrhosis,and tumor diameter <5 cm mayhave the higher probability to achieve TO. The risk score model could accurately predict postoperative TO of patientswith ICC.

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel index (BI) were used to evaluate the efficacy and safety. Results The NIHSS scores of two groups after treatment were significantly improved compared with before treatment, rt-PA group improved significantly better than the control group (P<0.05); At 21 days of treatment, the excellence rate of rt-PA group was 80% and the ratio of BI≥95 was 40.00%, the excellence rate of control group was 25.0% and the ratio of BI≥95 was 20.00%, the rt-PA group was significantly higher than the control Group (P<0.01); there was no significant difference between the two groups in the mortality rate, the incidence of secondary cerebral hemorrhage and vascular restenosis in the two groups. Conclusion Within 3 hours of onset of ACI, compared with the sodium ozagrel therapy, the rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic therapy is more safe and effective in the treatment of ACI patients, and it is worthy to be widely used in clinical treatment.
