Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of depression and anxiety among transgender populations and the correlation with defense mechanism, so as to provide the evidence for improving mental health among transgender populations.
Methods:
Transgender populations that visited Psychosexual Outpatient Department of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital for the first time from December 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled. Participants' demographics, depression, anxiety and type of defense mechanisms were collected using self-designed questionnaires, Self-rating Depression Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ). Factors affecting depression and anxiety were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 126 transgender individuals were enrolled, including 95 men (75.40%) with a mean age of (21.53±4.55) years and 31 women (24.60%) with a mean age of (23.58±5.55) years. The prevalence of depression was 46.83% among participants, including 44.07% of participants with mild depression, 30.51% with moderate depression and 25.42% with severe depression, and the prevalence of anxiety was 26.19% among participants, including 60.61% of participants with mild anxiety, 21.21% with moderate anxiety and 18.18% with severe anxiety. The detection of depression was 54.74% among men and 22.58% among women (P<0.05), and the detection of both depression (62.79% vs. 38.55%, P<0.05) and anxiety (41.86% vs. 18.07%, P<0.05) was significantly higher among transgender populations with self-injury or suicide behaviors than among those without. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that immature defense mechanisms increased the risk of depression (OR=1.034, 95%CI: 1.018-1.051) and anxiety (OR=1.031, 95%CI: 1.014-1.049) among transgender populations, while mature defense mechanisms reduced the risk of depression (OR=0.887, 95%CI: 0.832-0.946) and anxiety (OR=0.878, 95%CI: 0.821-0.938) among transgender populations.
Conclusions
The prevalence of depression and anxiety was 46.83% and 26.19% among transgender populations included in this study. Mature defense mechanisms are beneficial to reduce the risk of depression and anxiety among transgender populations.
Key words: transgender population depression anxiety defense mechanism

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the application value of serum total IgE, tryptase and chymase in the identification of death caused by drug anaphylactic shock.
METHODS:
The general information from 235 cases of non-drug anaphylactic shock and 32 cases of drug anaphylactic shock were analyzed. The serum IgE level had been detected in the cases. Ten cases caused by coronary disease and 10 cases caused by sudden manhood death syndrome were selected from non-drug anaphylactic shock cases for the control group. Expressions of tryptase and chymase in the lung and heart were detected using immunohistochemistry method. The number and IOD of positive mast cells were counted.
RESULTS:
In the drug anaphylactic shock group, the IgE value of 18 samples (56.25%) was significantly higher than the normal upper limit of 120 IU/mL. In the non-drug anaphylactic shock group, the IgE value of 67 samples (28.51%) was higher than 120 IU/mL. The expressions of tryptase and chymase were significantly increased in lung and myocardial tissue in drug anaphylactic shock group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Tryptase and chymase are more superior than that of the serum total IgE in the diagnosis of death caused by drug anaphylactic shock, and are more suitable in forensic practice.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of non-toxic goiter and non-toxic thyroid nodules in the regions with different iodine intakes and the factors influencing the occurrence, development and outcome of goiter and thyroid nodules. Methods 3 385 subjects, who had taken part in the previous survey in 1999 with the ultrasonic examination of thyroid, were composed of individuals in Panshan with chronic mild iodine deficiency,in Zhangwu with more than adequate iodine "after iodine supplementation and in Huanghua with excessive iodine. These 3 groups of subjects were followed up in 2004. Results (1) The cumulative incidences of diffuse goiter in Panshan ,Zhangwu and Huanghua were 7.1% ,4.4% and 6.9% ,respectively ,being the lowest in Zhangwu (P<0.01) and those of nodular goiter were 5.0% ,2. 4% and 0.8%, respectively, being the highest in Panshan (P<0.01). (2) The incidences of single nodule were 4.0% ,5.7% and 5.6%, respectively, and those of multiple nodules 0.4%, 1.2% and 1.0%, respectively. (3)The result of logistic analysis showed that iodine deficiency,iodine excess and positive thyroid autoantibodies (TAA) were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of goiter. (4)In Zhangwu ,the incidence of non-toxic goiter in the group with positive TAA was higher than that in the group with negative TAA(P<0.01) ,while there were no such differences in Panshan and Huanghua. (5)In these three regions, the rates of positive TAA in the individuals with diffuse non-toxic goiter were higher than those in the healthy subjects (P<0.05). And in Huanghua,the rate of positive TAA in subjects with non-toxic nodular goiter was also higher than that in the healthy individuals (P<0.05). Conclusion Iodine deficiency and iodine excess may both induce the raising incidence of goiter. Nodular goiter is prevalent in iodine deficient district and diffuse goiter is the predominant form in places with iodine excess. Thyroid autoimmunity is associated with occurrence and maintenance of goiter, and this phenomenon is more obvious in the community with previous iodine deficiency followed then by treatment with more than adequate iodine.

Objective To clarify the effect of iodine intake on serum thyroglobulin (Tg). Methods A 5-year prospective study was conducted in the 3 different iodine intake areas in China [Panshan (miht deficiency) ,Zhangwu (more than adequate) and Huanghua (excess)]. A total of 3 099 people with normal serum levels of Tg in 1999 were followed and 2 448 of these participants were feasible to be observed in 2004 and included in the present study. The serum levels of Tg, thyraglobulin antibody(TgAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) and TSH, thyroid volume, family and personal histories of thyroid diseases were measured and inquried. The general linear model (GLM) was used to explore the determinants of Tg. Results Among the study population at baseline, serum Tg were significantly different in three areas [7.5 (4.4-13. 1) μg/L at Panshan, 6.8 (3.6-11.2)μg/L at Huanghua, 5.9 (3.2-10.7) μg/L at Zhangwu, P<0.01]. They were associated with age, sex and the rate of positive TgAb, abnormal thyroid volume, abnormal TSH and positive personal history of thyroid diseases, in order to control the effects of confounding factors, the data from 1856 subjects with thyroid-related indexes all in normal range and without personal history of thyroid diseases were analyzed to clarify the effect of iodine intake on Tg. The serum Tg among three areas were significantly different in both 1999 and 2004, they were all increased in 5 years with significant augment (△ Tg) among the three areas[3.1 (-0.2-8.0) μg/L at Panshan, 3.5 (0.5-9.0)μg/L at Huanghua vs 2. 5(0.3-6.1) μg/L at Zhangwu,P<0.01]. The GLM analysis revealed that age, Tg and TSH levels at baseline were the determinants of △Tg in addition to iodine intake. Conclusion Iodine intake is a dominant determinant of serum Tg. Age and TSH should also be considered while indicating iodine intake by serum Tg.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of first aid knowledge among middle-aged and elderly residents aged 50 and above in a community in Shanghai, in order to provide reference for improving the self-rescue and mutual aid capabilities of middle-aged and elderly residents. MethodsA multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used to conduct a survey on 335 residents aged 50 and above in a community in Shanghai using a self-made survey questionnaire. The current situation and related factors of emergency knowledge level of residents aged 50 and above in the community were comprehensively analyzed. ResultsFirst aid knowledge level of 335 residents aged 50 and above was low, and the rate of high cognitive level was only 24.18%. Univariate analysis showed that male residents had a higher awareness rate than female residents (P=0.044), while residents aged 70 and above and 60‒ had lower awareness rates than residents aged 50‒ (P<0.05). Residents with chronic diseases had a higher awareness rate than those who did not (P=0.031). Residents with family members suffering from chronic diseases had a higher awareness rate than those without (P<0.001). Experience of first aid training affected residents’ awareness of first aid (P=0.003). ConclusionThe level of first aid knowledge among middle-aged and elderly residents aged 50 and above in the community is low. Age, the presence of chronic diseases in family members, and emergency training are independent and relevant factors that affect the awareness of first aid knowledge among middle-aged and elderly residents. The government and relevant institutions should explore the establishment of a standardized emergency response training system, implement classification and grading for middle-aged and elderly groups with different characteristics, and provide targeted emergency training to strengthen their self-rescue and mutual aid capabilities and improve the success rate of pre-hospital emergency care.

ObjectiveBidirectional and two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR) method was used to investigate the bidirectional causal relationship between constipation and pneumonia and to understand the potential relationship between the two diseases from a new perspective, providing new targets for future treatment strategies. MethodConstipation and pneumonia datasets were selected from the genome-wide association study(GWAS) website for the European population in 2021. The data related to constipation included 411 623 samples, and the single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) data were 24 176 599. The pneumonia data contained 480 299 samples with a number of SNPs of 24 174 646. In this study, inverse variance weighting(IVW) was adopted as the main analysis method of MR, supplemented by weighted median method, simple model, weighted model and MR-Egger regression analysis results, and sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the robustness of the results. ResultSeventeen SNPs highly correlated with constipation and 12 SNPs highly correlated with pneumonia were finally included. IVW analysis results of forward MR analysis showed that constipation increased the risk of pneumonia{odds ratio(OR)=1.143, 95% confidence interval(CI)[1.045, 1.249], P=0.003}, MR-Egger regression, simple model, weighted model and weighted median analysis all supported the result(P<0.05). IVW analysis by reverse MR analysis showed that pneumonia did not increase the risk of constipation{OR=1.138, 95%CI[0.974, 1.329], P=0.103}, MR-Egger regression, simple model, weighted model and weighted median analysis also supported this result. ConclusionThe bidirectional and dual-sample MR analysis method is used to confirm the causal relationship between constipation and pneumonia from the perspective of genetic variation, while there is no obvious causal relationship on the contrary. This study will be helpful for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of constipation and pneumonia, and provide a reference for the study of the pathogenesis between the two.
