A study of somatization symptoms and low-frequency amplitude fluctuations of emotional memory in adolescent depression.

Studies have revealed that somatization symptoms are associated with emotional memory in adolescents with depressive disorders. This study investigated somatization symptoms and emotional memory among adolescents with depressive disorders using low-frequency amplitude fluctuations (ALFF). Participants were categorized into the somatization symptoms (FSS) group, non-FSS group and healthy control group (HC).

Learning curve of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotripsy in the treatment of complex renal calculi.

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the learning curve of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) for the treatment of complex renal calculi.

Methods: Seventy-two patients with complex renal stones who underwent ultrasound-guided PCNL by the same operator from November 2016 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The learning curve of PCNL for complex renal stones was analyzed using multifactorial cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis and best-fit curves.

Characteristics and correlation of gray matter volume and somatic symptoms in adolescent patients with depressive disorder.

Background: Adolescent patients with depressive disorders commonly exhibit somatic symptoms, which have a significant negative impact on their treatment and prognosis. Despite this, specific brain imaging characteristics of these symptoms have been poorly studied.

Methods: The Hamilton Depression Rating scale (HAMD-17), Children's Functional Somatization scale (CSI), and Toronto Alexithymia scale (TAS) were used to evaluate the clinical symptoms of adolescent depression.

The association between workload, alcohol use, and alcohol misuse among psychiatrists in China.

Aim: Survey alcohol use and workload among Chinese psychiatrists and explore their associations.

Methods: We conducted an online questionnaire among psychiatrists working in large psychiatric institutions across the country. We collected data including demographic factors, alcohol use, and workload.

Alcohol misuse, health-related behaviors, and burnout among clinical therapists in China during the early Covid-19 pandemic: A Nationwide survey.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the extent of alcohol use and misuse among clinical therapists working in psychiatric hospitals in China during the early COVID-19 Pandemic, and to identify associated factors.

Methods: An anonymous nationwide survey was conducted in 41 tertiary psychiatric hospitals. We collected demographic data as well as alcohol use using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C) and burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey.

Alcohol Use and Misuse Among Chinese Psychiatrists During the Early COVID-19 Pandemic.

Aim: Survey alcohol use and misuse among Chinese psychiatrists during the Coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Methods: We conducted a large-scale, nationwide online survey of psychiatrists regarding their alcohol use during the pandemic. The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test-Concise (AUDIT-C) was used to assess alcohol use and misuse.

Nomogram to predict risk and prognosis of synchronous lung metastasis in renal cell carcinoma: A large cohort analysis.

We aimed to construct and validate nomogram models that predict the incidence of lung metastasis (LM) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and evaluate overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) among RCC patients with LM. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was analyzed for RCC patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2015. The X-tile program was used to determine the best cutoff values for age at initial diagnosis and tumor size.

Construction and validation of a novel prognostic nomogram for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a SEER-based study.

Objective: We aimed to establish and validate nomograms to evaluate overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC).

Methods: Between 2010 and 2015, the clinical information of patients with MRCC was selected using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Two nomograms were constructed based on Cox regression analysis, and their prediction accuracy was evaluated by concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).

The feasibility and safety of modified robot-assisted enucleation for highly complex renal tumors: research on a surgical technique.

Background: To report the technical feasibility and oncological safety of modified robot-assisted enucleation for highly complex renal tumors using the combined retroperitoneoscopic and transperitoneoscopic accesses.

Methods: The present research is a retrospective analysis of 166 cases of highly complex renal tumors that underwent a partial nephrectomy at a tertiary academic institution between September 2014 and August 2017. Consecutive consented patients were grouped into two cohorts.

Endoscopic robot-assisted simple enucleation of renal tumours: Impact of learning curve and tumour complexity on trifecta outcomes.

Background: In this article, we report the outcomes of endoscopic robot-assisted tumour enucleation (ERASE) using a trifecta system.

Methods: One hundred eighty-two patients were treated with ERASE by a single surgeon between October 2014 and February 2017 and were stratified by quartiles of distribution called ERASE eras 1 to 4 and preoperative aspects and dimensions used for an anatomical (PADUA) score risk group categories. The trifecta achievement rates in different ERASE eras and PADUA score risk group categories were analysed.

10-year CVD risk in Han Chinese mainland patients with schizophrenia.

People with schizophrenia have a shortened life expectancy, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being the primary contributor to this excessive mortality. A total of 466 inpatients with schizophrenia and 507 healthy community controls in the Chinese mainland were recruited in this study. Sociodemographic information, medical history, and smoking history were recorded.
