Objective To explore the correlation between the higher-order personality dimension(neuroticism) and the lower-order personality traits (alexithymia,dependence,self-criticism,perfectionism) in the sample of university students,and explore the effect of the higher-order personality dimension and lower-order personality traits to depression in the same sample.Methods A convenient sample of 563 university students from the two Universities College in Hunan province.These students were assessed with Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D),Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ),The twenty-item Toronto Alexithymia Scales (TAS-20),Frost multidimensional perfectionism scale (FMPS) and neuroticism subscale in EPQ.Results (1) There were significant relationships between the total score of CES-D,each depressive symptoms and 10 personality factors,such as neuroticism,doubts about action and so on (The coefficients ranged from 0.105 to 0.569,P ＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(2)Factor analysis and multiple linear regression on the neurotic showed that doubts about action,concerned over mistakes,difficulties identifying feelings (DIF),difficulties describing feelings (DDF),dependency,self-criticism and neuroticism belonged to the factor 1 (the factor load coefficients ranged from 0.574 to 0.775).(3) Neuroticism can explained 32.3 ％ variance of depression (R 2adj =0.323),after 6 personality factors entered the regression equation,such as difficulties describing feelings (DDF),parental criticism and so on,the explained variance of depression increased to 43.2％ (R2adj =0.432).Conclusion There are overlapping and interaction between personality traits which include self-criticism,dependency,difficulties describing feelings(DDF),difficulties identifying feelings (DIF),concerned over the mistakes and neuroticism personality dimensions.The depressed affect are effectively predicted by neuroticism which is a effectively predict factor of depression,personality traits included self-criticism,dependency,alexithymia and malajustment perfectionism have a gain function of depression base on the Neuroticism.

Objective: To evaluate the difference of plasma myeloperoxidase (MPO) level in different types of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, and the value of baseline MPO level in predicting short-term and long-term outcomes in patients with ACS. Methods: The study cohort was derived from "the 12th Five-Year" National Science and Technology Support Program Project "Study on Comprehensive Intervention and Prognosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome" . We enrolled all hospitalized ACS patients who were enrolled in "the 12th Five-Year" cohort from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013. A total of 630 patients from 20 centers were enrolled. According to the diagnosis, the patients were divided into two groups: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) group and non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) group. Plasma levels of MPO were measured by ELISA method. Cardiovascular events in the hospital were recorded. All patients were followed-up by telephone, follow-up ended December 31, 2015. The occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, defined as cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, unscheduled coronary revascularization procedure and stroke) and all-cause death were recorded. Logistic regression analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate the predictive value of baseline MPO levels obtained during hospitalization and the long-term outcomes of ACS patients. Results: A total of 597 ACS patients were enrolled in final analysis. Level of plasma MPO in STEMI patients was significantly higher than that of NSTE-ACS patients (34.02(19.31, 67.87) μg/L vs. 27.25(16.69, 52.92) μg/L, P=0.028) . MPO was not related to the in-hospital cardiovascular events (OR=0.797, 95%CI 0.366-1.737, P=0.569). Follow up was completed in 476 patients, median follow-up time was 796 (32, 1 816) days. There were 23 all-cause deaths and 51 MACE. Plasma MPO level was not an independent predictor for all-cause death (HR=1.434, 95%CI 0.502-4.100, P=0.501) and MACE (HR=1.271, 95%CI 0.662-2.442, P=0.471). Conclusion In hospitalized ACS patients, level of plasma MPO was significantly higher in STEMI patients than in NSTE-ACS patients, but MPO could not predict the short-term or long-term outcomes in patients with ACS.

Objective:The exact biological mechanism whereby exposure to ambient ozone(O3)may contribute to clinical onset of cardiovascular events remains unclear.In this study,we aim to examine the impacts of O3 exposure on cardiac arrhythmias and potential pathways involved through autonomic dysfunction and myocardial injury.Methods:Seventy-three non-smoking healthy adults were followed with 4 repeated measurements of 24-hour ambulatory arrhythmias,heart rate variability,ST-segment deviation,and blood pressure(BP)in Beijing,China,2014-2016.Generalized additive mixed models coupled with distributed lag nonlinear models were constructed to evaluate the associations and potential interlinks between O3 exposure and outcome measurements.Results:During the study period,24-hour average concentrations of ambient O3 were 47.4 μg/m3(ranging from 1.0 to 165.9 μg/m3).Increased risks of premature ventricular contraction and ventricular tachycardia were associated with interquartile range increases in O3 exposure during the last 5 days before each participant's clinic visit,with relative risks of 2.14(95％confidence interval[CI]:1.95 to 2.32)and 5.47(95％CI:3.51 to 7.43),respectively.Mediation analyses further showed that sympathetic activation,parasympathetic inhibition,and elevated BP levels,as well as heightened risks of ST-segment depression could mediate up to 47.74％of the risks of arrhythmias attributable to O3 exposure.Conclusion:Our results suggest that short-term exposure to ambient O3 could prompt the genesis of arrhythmias partially through worsening autonomic function and myocardial burden.
