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 analyze the relation between classes and prognosis of the brain.stem hemorrhage.Methods 37 patients with spontaneous brainstem hemorrhage were divided into three groups according to con-sciousness and breathing function: Ⅰ group 13 cases with consciousness; Ⅱ group 11 cases without consciousness; Ⅲgroup 13 cases without consciousness and respiration, according to the classes, using different ways and means. Re-suits Ⅰ group 13 cases survival in 13 cases; Ⅱ group 10 cases survival and 1 case death in 11 cases; Ⅲ group 1 case survival and 12 cases death in 13 eases. Conclusion The classes of the brain.stem hemorrhage is propitious to select therapeutic measure and prognostic estimate. The intensive care and the surgery can reduce mortality rate.

Objective:To study the correlation between serum bilirubin and cystatin C in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 750 patients who were in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from June 2017 to May 2018. The clinical data were collected, and the correlation between serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin and cystatin C was analyzed.Results:According to the results of single factor analysis, after adjusting the related confounding factors, the smooth curve fitting showed that there was a U-shaped relationship between the total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin and cystatin C. When the total bilirubin was <15.9 μmol/L, for every increase of 1 μmol/L in total bilirubin, cystatin C decreased 0.008 mg/L ( β = - 0.008, 95% CI - 0.014 to - 0.002, P<0.01); when indirect bilirubin was <11.5 μmol/L, for every increase of 1 μmol/L in indirect bilirubin, cystatin C decreased 0.011 mg/L ( β = - 0.011, 95% CI - 0.018 to - 0.003, P<0.01). When cystatin C was grouped according to the normal range (cystatin C<1.25 mg/L), after adjusting the related confounding factors, the smooth curve fitting showed that there was a U-shaped relationship between the total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin with cystatin C; when total bilirubin was <15.5 mol/L, for every increase of 1 μmol/L in total bilirubin, the risk of cystatin C exceeding the normal value was reduced by 17% ( OR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.71 to 0.96, P<0.01); when total bilirubin was ≥15.5 μmol/L, for every increase of 1 μmol/L in total bilirubin, the risk of cystatin C exceeding the normal value was increased by 12% ( OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.25, P<0.05); when indirect bilirubin was <11.8 μmol/L, every increase of 1 μmol/L in indirect bilirubin, the risk of cystatin C exceeding the normal value was reduced by 20% ( OR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.67 to 0.95, P<0.01). However there was no significant correlation between direct bilirubin and cystatin C. Conclusions:There is a U-shaped relationship between total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin and cystatin C. At physiological concentrations, the increase of total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin can reduce cystatin C.

BACKGROUND:
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and the current lung cancer screening and treatment strategies are constantly improving, but its 5-year survival rate is still very low, which seriously endangers human health. Therefore, it is critical to explore new biomarkers to provide personalized treatment and improve the prognosis. Cuproptosis is a newly discovered type of cell death, which is due to the accumulation of excess copper ions in the cell, eventually leading to cell death, which has been suggested by studies to be closely related to the occurrence and development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, this study explored the association between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) and LUAD prognosis, established a prognostic risk model, and analyzed the interaction between CRGs and LUAD immune cell infiltration.
METHODS:
The RNA-seq data of LUAD tissue and paracancerous or normal lung tissue were downloaded from the TCGA database; the RNA-seq data of normal lung tissue was downloaded from the Genotype-tissue Expression (GTEx) database, and the data of 462 lung adenocarcinoma cases were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus repository (GEO) as verification. T the risk score model to assess prognosis was constructed by univariate Cox and Lasso-Cox regression analysis, and the predictive ability of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve. Immune-related and drug susceptibility analysis was further performed on high- and low-risk groups.
RESULTS:
A total of 1656 CRGs and 1356 differentially expressed CRGs were obtained, and 13 CRGs were screened out based on univariate Cox and Lasso-Cox regression analysis to construct a prognostic risk model, and the area under the curves (AUCs) of ROC curves 1-, 3- and 5- year were 0.749, 0.740 and 0.689, respectively. Further study of immune-related functions and immune checkpoint differential analysis between high- and low-risk groups was done. High-risk groups were more sensitive to drugs such as Savolitinib, Palbociclib, and Cytarabine and were more likely to benefit from immunotherapy.
CONCLUSIONS
The risk model constructed based on 13 CRGs has good prognostic value, which can assist LUAD patients in individualized treatment, and provides an important theoretical basis for the treatment and prognosis of LUAD.
