Objective:
To investigate the mental health status and its influencing factors among guardians of patients with severe mental disorders, so as to provide the evidences for improving mental health services among guardians.
Methods:
The first guardians of patients with severe mental disorders registered and managed in Zhujing Township, Jinshan District, Shanghai Municipality were enrolled. Participants' demographics, economic status, health status and relationships with patients were collected using self-designed questionnaires from January to June 2021. Participants' mental health was assessed with twelve-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and factors affecting guardians' mental health were identified with a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 650 questionnaires were allocated, and 606 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 93.23%. The participants included 356 men (58.75%), and had a mean age of (59.61±12.61) years. Among all participants, 256 were patients' spouse (42.24%), and 516 lived with patients (85.15%). The mean GHQ-12 score was (3.18±2.48), and there were 171 participants with mental health problems (28.22%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified educational level of junior high school and below (OR=2.715, 95%CI: 1.076-6.850), married (OR=0.374, 95%CI: 0.184-0.761), patients' parents (OR=0.303, 95%CI: 1.114-0.806), living with patients (OR=0.481, 95%CI: 0.237-0.974), having basic medical insurance for urban employees (OR=0.489, 95%CI: 0.254-0.942), receiving government subsidy (OR=3.788, 95%CI: 1.734-8.276), self-rated health status (good, OR=0.105, 95%CI: 0.037-0.299; average, OR=0.126, 95%CI: 0.049-0.325), considering that caring patients has an impact on family (OR=3.689, 95%CI: 1.807-7.531), being hopeful about the patient's future (OR=0.372, 95%CI: 0.139-0.994) and patients' need for accompanying/surrogate care (OR=1.606, 95%CI: 1.006-2.565) as factors affecting mental health among guardians of patients with severe mental disorders.
Conclusion
Mental health problems are found among 28.22% of guardians of patients with severe mental disorders, and the development of mental health problems is affected by educational level, economic status, health status and patient's need of caring.

Objective To investigate the correlation between XRCC1 R280H,XRCCl TSS+29C/T genetic polymorphisma and susceptibility to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods The MassARRAY method was applied to detect the DNA repair gene XRCC1 genetic polymorphisms in 73 cases of NHL and 540 cases of normal healthy controls. Chi-square test was performed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results For XRCCl R280H genotypes, there was a significant difference between frequencies of the G and A among patients and controls (P=0.001). However, XRCCl TSS+29C/T genotypes had no statistical difference as for the T and C frequencies between patients and controls (P = 0.383). The frequency of XRCCI R280H with at least one A genotype was lower in the NHL cases than in controls, indicating a decreased risk for NHL development (OR=0.309, 95 % CI =0.168-0.567), comparing with GG genotype. In XRCC1 TSS+29C/T genotypes, the frequeney of TC and CC genotype was higher in NHL cases than in controls and associated with an increased risk of NHL development (P=0.472, OR =1.262, 95 % CI =0.669-2.379). Conclusion DNA repair XRCCl gene possesses significant correlation with NHL.

Aim To investigate the effects of echina-coside ( ECH ) on the learning and memory capacities and brain level of oxygen free radicals of rats with de-mentia induced by amyloid β-peptide. Methods Six-ty Sprague Dawley rats, weighing (300±10) g, were randomly divided with 10 rats pergroup into 6 groups:sham operated group, model, ECH high dose (40 mg ·kg-1·d-1), ECH middle dose (20 mg· kg-1· d-1), ECH low dose (10 mg·kg-1·d-1) and Hup A (Huperzine A, 0. 02 mg·kg-1·d-1) group. Mor-ris maze tests were conducted for evaluating the learn-ing and memory ability. Content of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) and activities of superox-ide dismutase ( SOD) and NO synthase ( NOS) in the hippocampus and cortex were detected. ResultsAβ25-35 induced significant learning and memory im-pairment in the rats. Compared with the rats in model group, those treated with ECH at different doses all manifested alleviation of learning and memory impair-ment ( P<0 . 01 , P<0 . 05 ) . Cotents of MDA of ECH treatment group were obviously decreased, while SOD activities were obviously increased, and significantly reduced the release of NO and NOS in the hippocam-pus and cortex brain tissue ( P <0 . 01 , P <0.05 ) . Conclusion ECH can enhance the learning and mem-ory ability in rats with AD, which is presumably relat-ed to accelerating the cleaning of oxygen free radicals and reducing oxidative stress in brain of AD rats.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of echinacoside ( ECH ) on oxidative stress injury in vascular dementia rats. Methods Vascular dementia model was duplicated by means of permanent ligation of bilateral common carotid artery at two times intervals for three days. Biochemical methods was used to detect the GSH, NO, GSH-Px, NOS in each group rat’ s cor-tex and hippocampus. The change of the tissue struc-ture in CA1 area of hippocampus in each group was ob-served and analyzed by microscope after HE staining. Results Compared with sham group, the content of GSH and activity of GSH-Px in the rats of the model group were decreased significantly ( P<0. 01 ) , while the content of NO and activity of NOS were increased obviously (P<0. 05, P <0. 01). Meanwhile, in tis-sue structure of rat’ s hippocampal CA1 area, the num-bers of cells were reduced, cell arrangement was sparse and in disorder, cell form was not intact and cell struc-ture was not normal, cytoplasm, nucleus and cyto-plasm were blurry, nuclei were hyperchromatic and in contraction, and were changed to triangular or irregular shape, lacking nucleoli, and proliferation of glial cells appeared. Compared with the model group, the content of GSH and activity of GSH-Px in the rats of the treat-ment groups were increased significantly ( P<0. 05 , P<0 . 01 ) , while the activity of NOS was decreased ob-viously (P<0. 05, P<0. 01). Meanwhile, in rat tis-sue structure of hippocampal CA1 area, the rat cells in each treatment group were arranged in order, the form of structure was normal, the nuclei were less hyper-chromatic and contracted. Compared with Gal group and sham group, the rats of ECH high dosage group were not different in every part of experiment ( P >0. 05 ) . Conclusion ECH exerts protection on oxida-tive stress injury in vascular dementia rats.
