    Abstract The intercity daily flow of long stay international visitors (LSIV) reflects the economic globalisation and regional integration of a region. We made the first attempt to use mobile phone data to identify international visitors who stayed longer than one month in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region in 2019, analysed the spatial patterns of LSIV, and revealed the impact factors associated with the daily intercity flow of LSIV. We discussed spatial dependence using multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), and performed cluster analysis to understand the combination effects. The results show that enterprises have the largest effect, AQI and administrative hierarchy have relatively low effects, and income, imports and exports do not have any significant effect. Overall, the economically developed eastern regions of the YRD region are more attractive for daily travel by LSIV, with the Shanghai metropolitan area being the most attractive. Our findings provide new insights into the relationship between the intercity daily flow of LSIV and the urban economy and society in the delta region to help suggest planning recommendations to enhance the globalisation development strategy and provide a better environment for international visitors in the delta region.

    Abstract Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious mental health problem that can negatively affect future generations. BDNF/AKT/mTOR signaling in the frontal lobe and hippocampus in mice is associated with depression, but its role in mice with PPD and their offspring is unknown. This study was aimed at investigating the effects of esketamine (ESK), a drug approved for treatment of refractory depression, on the BDNF/AKT/mTOR pathway in mice with PPD and their offspring. A model of chronic unpredictable mild stress with pregnancy was used. ESK was injected into postpartum mice, and behavioral tests were conducted to predict the severity of symptoms at the end of lactation and in the offspring after adulthood. Both mice with PPD and their offspring showed significant anxiety- and depression-like behaviors that were ameliorated with the ESK intervention. ESK enhanced exploratory behavior in unfamiliar environments, increased the preference for sucrose, and ameliorated the impaired BDNF/AKT/mTOR signaling in the frontal and hippocampal regions in mice. Thus, ESK may have great potential in treating PPD and decreasing the incidence of depression in offspring.

    Abstract Laboratory animal and laboratory safety management in medical colleges and universities is the basic guarantee for the safe operation of teaching laboratories and serves as an important link for the successful completion of teaching tasks in laboratories. Aiming at the safety status of common experimental animals and laboratories, the Experimental Teaching Center of Basic Medical College of Zhengzhou University trained medical freshmen on the characteristics of experimental animals and laboratory safety knowledge. PowerPoint courses, short video lectures, and flipped classrooms were used for offline training. The training contents included the correct use of experimental animals, safety management and laboratory safety knowledge. After training, an online examination was conducted, which 1 061 freshmen passed, and the passing rate was 99.90%. According to the analysis of the answers of the freshmen in the examination, the error rates of knowledge on microorganisms and dangerous chemicals were 20.35% and 14.89%, respectively. This suggests that training should be strengthened in these two aspects in the future. Through the training, the new medical students mastered the correct use of experimental animals, and their knowledge of laboratory safety increased. This will help to prevent future laboratory accidents.

    Abstract E-cigarettes are now very popular in the world. Compared to traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes are often considered safer and healthier. However, their safety remains controversial and requires further research and regulation. In this study, we aimed to understand the possible hazards to humans of four compounds (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and acetone) and seven heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, manganese, lead, copper, nickel, and chromium) contained in e-cigarette liquids and aerosols and perform a health risk assessment. We searched PubMed, CNKI, and other databases for relevant literature to obtain data on organic compounds and heavy metals in e-cigarette liquids and aerosols, and conducted acute, chronic, and carcinogenic risk assessments of various chemicals by different exposure routes. This study showed that exposure to four organic compounds and seven heavy metals in e-cigarette aerosols and e-liquids can cause varying levels of health risks in humans through different routes, with the inhalation route posing a higher overall risk than dermal exposure and oral intake. Various chemicals at high exposure doses can produce health risks beyond the acceptable range. E-cigarette designers must improve their products by changing the composition of the e-liquid and controlling the power of the device to reduce the health effects on humans.

    Abstract Purpose: Surgical margin status in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens is an established predictive indicator for determining biochemical prostate cancer recurrence and disease progression. Predicting positive surgical margins (PSMs) is of utmost importance. We sought to perform a meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic utility of a high clinical tumor stage (≥3) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting PSMs.
    Method: A systematic search of the PubMed, Embase databases, and Cochrane Library was performed, covering the interval from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2022, to identify relevant studies. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 method was used to evaluate the studies' quality. A hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic plot was created depicting sensitivity and specificity data. Analyses of subgroups and meta-regression were used to investigate heterogeneity.
    Results: This meta-analysis comprised 13 studies with 3924 individuals in total. The pooled sensitivity and specificity values were 0.40 (95% CI, 0.32-0.49) and 0.75 (95% CI, 0.69-0.80), respectively, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.63 (95% CI, 0.59-0.67). The Higgins I2 statistics indicated moderate heterogeneity in sensitivity (I2 = 75.59%) and substantial heterogeneity in specificity (I2 = 86.77%). Area, prevalence of high Gleason scores (≥7), laparoscopic or robot-assisted techniques, field strength, functional technology, endorectal coil usage, and number of radiologists were significant factors responsible for heterogeneity (
    Conclusions: T stage on MRI has moderate diagnostic accuracy for predicting PSMs. When determining the treatment modality, clinicians should consider the factors contributing to heterogeneity for this purpose.

    Abstract Background: Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus is a rare malignant tumor of the esophagus, and its combination with squamous cell carcinoma is also rare. Here, we report the diagnosis and treatment of a case of primary esophageal malignant melanoma combined with squamous cell carcinoma.
    Case summary: A middle-aged man underwent gastroscopy for dysphagia. Gastroscopy revealed multiple bulging esophageal lesions, and after pathologic and immunohistochemical analyses, the patient was finally diagnosed with "malignant melanoma with squamous cell carcinoma". This patient received comprehensive treatment. After one year of follow-up, the patient was in good condition, and the esophageal lesions seen on gastroscopy were controlled, but unfortunately, liver metastasis occurred.
    Conclusion: When multiple esophageal lesions are present, the possibility of multiple pathological sources should be considered. This patient was diagnosed with primary esophageal malignant melanoma combined with squamous cell carcinoma.

    Abstract Our study aimed to systematically evaluate the effect of acupuncture in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Literature search of four Chinese databases and six English databases for studies published from the inception of each database to March 1, 2022 and identify relevant studies published in Chinese or English. Related randomized controlled trials of acupuncture for the treatment of OSAHS were included to analyze the efficacy of acupuncture. Two researchers independently reviewed all of the retrieved studies to screen for eligible studies and extract the required relevant data. Included studies were subjected to a methodological quality assessment using the Cochrane Manual 5.1.0, and to a meta-analysis using Cochrane Review Manager version 5.4. A total of 19 studies with 1365 participants were examined. Compared with the control group, the apnea-hypopnea index, lowest oxygen saturation, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor α, and nuclear factor κ-B indicators all exhibited statistically significant changes. Thus, acupuncture was effective in alleviating the state of hypoxia and sleepiness and reduced the inflammatory response and disease severity among reported patients with OSAHS. Therefore, acupuncture could be widely used in the clinical treatment of OSAHS patients as a complementary strategy and warrants further study.
