Objective This study aims to investigate the moral disgust cognitive processing of patients with obses?sive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and its relationship with OCD symptoms. Methods Twenty-eight OCD and 30 healthy controls matched for gender, age and education completed lexical decision task, recording reaction time and accuracy of words and assessing the degree of disgust. Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) and Padua Invento?ry-Washington State University Revision (PI-WUSR) were used to assess the symptoms. Results OCD group showed significantly longer reaction time to core disgust-related words [(762.69 ± 128.25) ms vs. (648.69 ± 162.66) ms] and moral disgust-related words [(798.73 ± 115.26) ms vs. (727.00 ± 106.06) ms] than the healthy controls (P<0.05). OCD group showed significantly higher aversion degree to core disgust-related words [(6.38 ± 1.78) vs. (5.03 ± 1.64)] and moral dis?gust-related words [(7.08 ± 1.23) vs. (5.77 ± 1.44)] than control group (P<0.05). Y-BOCS total score, Y-BOCS obsessive thoughts score, Y-BOCS compulsive behavior score, total score of PI-WUSR, cleaning/pollution force factor score, hurt?ing themselves and others force factor were positively correlated with two types of disgust-related words in patients group (P<0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis between disgust words and Y-BOCS/PI-WUSR scores pointed that only CWCF influenced disgust degree of core disgust-related words (β=0.61, P<0.01) and moral disgust-related words (β=0.54, P<0.01), respectively. Conclusion The core disgust and moral disgust of OCD are stronger compared to controls.

Objective To explore the gender differences in disgust processing in patients with ob-sessive-compulsive disorder ( OCD). Methods A total of 74 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (39 males and 35 females) and 65 normal healthy controls (35 males and 30 females) were assessed with Padua inventory-Washington State University revision (PI-WSUR),Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) and were tested the lexical decision task,in order to evaluate their OCD symptoms and severity. The results of reaction time,accuracy and rating intensity of core disgust words,moral disgust words and neu-tral words were recorded,and the gender differences in disgust processing in patients with obsessive-compul-sive disorder and normal healthy controls were analyzed. Results The reaction time of core disgust words ((753.6±84.1) vs (711.8±83.8)ms),the reaction time of moral disgust words((813.5±89.0) vs (749.4± 81.4)ms) and neutral words((775.3±91.8) vs (725.9±104.2)ms) showed significant differences between males and females in pateints with OCD,but there were no differences in accuracy and rating intensity(P<0.05 or P<0.01). In normal healthy controls,there were only differences between males and females in reac-tion time of neutral words,females were also showed shorter reaction time than males (P<0.01). Pearson cor-relation analysis showed that both male and female patients had a negative correlation between the reaction time of core disgust words and total PI-WSUR scores (P<0.05). There was a gender difference in the relative variables of PI-WSUR,Y-BOCS and disgust processing in OCD patients. Conclusion There were gender differences in disgust cognitive processing in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder,females with ob-sessive-compulsive disorder have higher core disgust and moral disgust than males. Females with OCD have a special high sense of moral disgust.

The movement of wei qi (defensive qi) follows the circadian rhythm of "circulating on the yang during the day, and on the yin at night" and serves a defensive function to "protect the body". Guided by the theory of wei qi, it is believed that time rhythms and the immune system play significant roles in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). Dysfunction in wei qi circulation, particularly when "yang fails to enter yin," can lead to the onset of UC; the cyclical nature of wei qi's movement results in disease patterns characterized by "morning relief, daytime stability, evening aggravation, and nighttime worsening", which align with the rhythmic characteristics of immune responses. The defensive function of wei qi is crucial in maintaining intestinal immunity of patients with UC, and the spleen and stomach, which are the sources of wei qi, are key to sustaining intestinal mucosal immune homeostasis; additionally, obstruction in the ascending and descending movements of wei qi, internal disruption, and latent pathogen in the intestines lead to the development of UC. Based on the theory of wei qi, treatment approaches for UC are proposed, including time-based dietary adjustments and chronotherapy to harmonize human activities with natural rhythms; these approaches emphasize protecting the spleen and stomach while also considering the lungs and kidneys, balancing sanjiao, and harmonizing ying qi and wei qi, so as to improve the clinical effectiveness of UC treatment.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of attentional bias in adolescents with anxiety disorder.Methods:Totally 40 adolescents with anxiety disorder who met the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria were recruited as the case group, 40 normal adolescents matched with the case group in terms of gender, age and education level were served as the control group.Symptom was assessed by the screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders (SCARED), and attention bias was assessed by attention bias test on both groups.All data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0.Results:(1) In the test of attentional bias, the negative reaction of the case group was lower than the neutral response((647.14±94.44)ms, (661.08±112.07)ms), and the attention bias value of the case group was higher than the control group((13.93±33.27)ms, (-0.13±18.49)ms), the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). (2) In the total score and each factor score of SCARED, total score of SCARED was negatively correlated with the negative accuracy rate ( r=-0.38), and the separation anxiety score was negatively correlated with the negative accuracy rate ( r=-0.52), social terrorism scores were negatively correlated with negative accuracy ( r=-0.45) and neutral accuracy ( r=-0.43) (all P<0.05). The correlation between somatization, generalized anxiety and school terror with attention bias test were not significant( P>0.05). Conclusion:Adolescents with anxiety disorder are more concerned with negative stimuli, and it is difficult to shift attention from negative stimuli to others.The avoidance to neutral stimuli may be a risk factor for the severity of symptoms in adolescents with anxiety disorders.

Objective:To characterize the distribution characteristics of choroidal thickness in healthy normal subjects and to define the diagnostic cut-off value for pachychoroid.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was carried out.Four hundred and forty-six eyes of 230 healthy subjects from the pachychoroid disease spectrum (PCD) cohort in Beijing Tongren Hospital from April 2018 to June 2021, were enrolled for the choroidal thickness distribution analysis.Three hundred and fourteen eyes of 274 patients with PCD including 149 eyes of 113 patients with central serous chorioretinopathy, 95 eyes of 81 patients with polypoid choroidal vasculopathy, 70 eyes of 60 patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration, along with 382 eyes of 199 normal subjects matched for refractive error, age and gender with PCD were selected for likelihood ratio analysis.Routine eye examinations including the best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp microscopy, dilated fundus examination and color fundus photography were performed in all subjects.Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) of 9 mm×9 mm scanning mode was used to measure the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) automatically in nine macular regions according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study classification system using TOPCON Advanced Boundary Segmentation (TABS) software.Pearson linear correlation analysis and Spearman rank correlation analysis were adopted to evaluate the correlations between SFCT and age, diopter.Multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the factors affecting SFCT.After age and refractive error adjustment, the likelihood ratio test was used to determine the diagnostic cut-off value for pachychoroid.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital (No.TRECKY2016-054). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering the cohort.Results:A negative correlation was found between SFCT and age in normal eyes ( r=-0.34, P<0.001), in both normal male and female subjects ( r=-0.43, P<0.001; r=-0.38; P<0.001). A weak positive correlation was found between SFCT and diopter ( rs=0.19, P<0.001). It was found that age and diopter were strongly correlated with SFCT (both at P<0.001). The cut-off values for pachychoroid in 20-39 years group, 40-59 years group, 60-79 years group and ≥80 years group were 320-330 μm, 330-340 μm, 250-275 μm and 200-225 μm, respectively.The percentages of eyes with pachychoroid in 20-39 years group, 40-59 years group and ≥60 years group were 14.71%(10/68), 24.48%(47/192) and 28.89%(55/184), respectively, showing statistically significant differences among them ( χ2=6.170, P=0.046; LR=6.579, P=0.037). The proportion of pachychoroid in ≥60 years group was significantly higher than that of 20-39 years group, showing a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.982, P=0.014; LR=6.479, P=0.011). Conclusions:The distribution characteristics of pachychoroid vary in normal subjects over age.Age and diopter are the independent influencing factors of SFCT.
