Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore the intervention effect of group intervention on the depression of urban college students and explore the methods of group training in colleges and universities; Methods: In this study, forty students with depression were selected as participants, and they were divided into the observation group and control group randomly; 49D cognitive coping group training and psychological intervention were carried out for the students in the observation group, and the normal training was taken in the control group; the intervention effects of three kinds of measuring tools, namely Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), attritional style questionnaire, and SCSQ were compared to 7D college students before and after intervention; after 6 months, the SDS self-assessment scale was used to measure the return visit; Results: There was no statistically significant difference in depression score between the observation group and the control group before intervention (P > 0.05); Conclusions: Group intervention on the depression of urban college students can obviously improve their depression and promote their mental health; therefore, it should be actively carried out.

Background: In Bangladesh, bloodstream infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and empirical treatment based on clinical symptoms; patient’s final outcome might be improved with detailed and organized surveillance studies on bloodstream isolates and their resistance; Materials and Methods: Our study was conducted with a total of 520 suspected bacteremia patients from December 2017 to November 2018; Results: Approximately 60% and 49% of the suspected cases were male and in the age group 17–50 years, respectively, with increasing prevalence found from May 2018 to November 2018, whereas, highest was found in July 2018; only 11.15% of the patients showed blood culture positive outcomes with 74% were Gram-negative and 26% were Gram-positive; highest drug resistance was found with azithromycin against all the isolates, except for *Staphylococcus aureus* that showed 50% resistance; among 58 isolates, 57 and 56 isolates were found sensitive to imipenem and amikacin, respectively; however, all the tested isolates were found 100% sensitive against fourth generation, cefepime, and piperacillin/tazobactam; there were no isolates completely resistant to all the antibiotics tested; it is alarming that 22.41% of the isolates were found multidrug resistant; Conclusion: We expect our present work will be helpful for health-care personnel to provide improved treatment, as well as the researcher and policymakers from hospital and government to take a step in reducing the irrational antibiotic practice.

Objectives: To apply the acupuncture and moxibustion to the treatment of patients with depression and study the serum brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) level, C-reactive protein (CRP), and zinc level in the patients; Methods: Thirty-five patients with depression treated in our hospital were selected as the research individuals and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, seventeen patients in the control group were treated with head massage and 18 patients in the observation group were treated with acupuncture, and the levels of BDNF, CRP, and zinc were measured and recorded by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; Results: The levels of BDNF in serum BDNF in the control group were significantly higher than those in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05), compared with the control group the CRP decreased significantly in the observation group with a significant difference (P < 0.05), and the level of zinc in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group with a significant difference (P < 0.05); Conclusions: The treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion can effectively reduce the level of serum BDNF in patients, the level of zinc, and CRP, which has a certain value of research.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between college students’ emotion management ability and mental health; Methods: A total of 1000 college students from four universities in our city were selected as the object of the study, the emotion management ability of 1000 college students was analyzed by means of questionnaire, and the mental health status of college students was measured with symptom checklist (SCL)-90, the average scores of the five dimensions of college students’ emotional management ability are classified as follows: controlling negative vent > rational regulation > seeking outside support > controlling negative suggestion > positive remedy; Results: The results showed that there were obvious negative correlations between the three factors and the SCL-90 factors, such as the rational control of college students, the control of negative implications, and the control of negative venting, however, there is only a negative correlation between college students’ seeking outside help and interpersonal, paranoid, psychotic, and depressive factors, positive remedies were negatively correlated with the symptoms of compulsion, psychosis, and depressive factors, while positive remedies and paranoia factor and hostile factor are obviously related; Conclusions: In the investigation of college students’ emotional management ability, the five dimensions are closely related to their mental health status, therefore, we should pay attention to the cultivation of college students’ emotional ability and encourage them to participate in some meaningful activities to improve their mental health.

Psoas abscess has been classified into two types, namely the primary abscess, which presents with infection limited to the psoas muscle itself and is mostly pyogenic, and the secondary abscess, in which associated intra‑abdominal or skeletal conditions are present; Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative organism in primary cases, while secondary cases are mostly associated with adjacent tissue infection, tuberculosis of the spine, or intra‑abdominal pathologies, with lumbar spine tuberculosis—due to its close anatomical association with the psoas muscle—being involved in 75%–83% of cases, and bilateral cases of psoas abscess being uncommon in the context of tubercular spinal disease.
