Objective:
To understand the current situation of intimate partner violence (IPV) among young students in Chengdu and its relationship with emotion regulation self-efficacy,and to provide a reference for conducting the education on close relationship.
Methods:
Totally 1 041 young students with love experience in Chengdu were selected by by stratified cluster random sampling to explore potentional factors related to IPV.
Results:
The incidence of IPV perpetration among young students with love experience was as high as 69.6% and the incidence of IPV victimization was 62.2%. Young students had committed(65.4%) or been subjected(64.0%) to more than three intimate partner violence. 59.92% young students were both perpetrators and victims of IPV. Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with young female students, young male students were not prone to commit violence in intimate relationships(OR=0.59), but may become victims of IPV(OR=1.91). More than half a year in love(OR=1.70), cohabitation(OR=2.47), bullying by peers (OR=1.54) and interference by parents (OR=1.63) were risk factors for IPV perpetration. Among them, more than half a year in love (OR=1.51) and cohabitants (OR=2.52) were positively associated with IPV victimization. The efficacy of managing negative emotions was a negatively associated with IPV perpetration (OR=0.96) and victimization(OR=0.97)(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The phenomenon of intimate partner violence among young students is more common, which is closely related to the rearing style of young students, peer relationship, love relationship and the ability to manage negative emotions, which should be paid attention to.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of multiparametric myocardial imaging using a dual-layer detector spectral CT in the non-invasive preoperative assessment of patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 90 patients who underwent coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with dual-layer spectral detector CT and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) within 30 days at the Affiliated Changshu Hospital of Nantong University from January 2021 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 189 coronary arteries were included in the study cohort. The patients were divided into PCI ( n=44) and non-PCI groups ( n=46) according to whether they received PCI after evaluation with ICA. The diameter stenosis rate of the coronary arteries, myocardial iodine concentration (IC) and effective atomic number (Z eff) values were obtained from CCTA conventional and spectral images. The IC values and Z eff values of the myocardium in the areas with abnormal perfusion were compared with those in the areas with normal perfusion. The diagnostic performance of these parameters, as well as their combined model, was evaluated and compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) in the pre-PCI assessment of patients with CHD. Results:Baseline patient data did not show statistically significant differences between the PCI and non-PCI groups (all P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in IC values [(0.42±0.28) and (2.26±0.48) mg/ml] and Z eff values (7.39±0.33 and 8.50±0.25) between the myocardium areas with abnormal perfusion and the myocardium areas with normal perfusion in all patients (all P<0.001). The AUC for assessing whether patients with CHD need PCI treatment using myocardial IC and Z eff values were 0.865 and 0.853, respectively, which were significantly higher than assessment based only on lumen diameter stenosis rate (AUC=0.726, P<0.001). Conclusions:The IC and Z eff derived from myocardial spectral images can be used to diagnose myocardial perfusion abnormalities in patients with CHD. The spectral myocardial multi-parameters imaging shows promising potentials in pre-PCI assessment of patients with CHD, which can improve the efficiency of evaluation and may help to avoid unnecessarily invasive procedures.

ObjectiveTo observe the intervention effect of Chaihu and Longgu Mulitang (CLMT) on rat depression model prepared by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) based on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA)/cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB)-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathway. MethodSixty SD rats were divided into normal group, model group, and CLMT low-, medium- and high-dose groups and fluoxetine group (positive control) according to random number table. They, except the normal group, were treated with CUMS for 49 days to prepare the rat depression model. The CLMT low-, medium- and high-dose groups were given 2.89, 5.78 11.56 g·kg-1 of CHMD granules, respectively, and the fluoxetine group was given 2.06 mg·kg-1 of fluoxetine hydrochloride on the 29th day. The normal group and the model group received equal volume of normal saline for 21 days. The behavioral performance of rats were observed by open field test and forced swim test. The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE) and cAMP in rat hippocampus were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expressions of PKA, CREB, and BDNF in rat hippocampus were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and the protein expressions of PKA and BDNF were detected by Western blot. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of CREB, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining were used to observe the morphological changes of hippocampus. ResultCompared with the conditions in the normal group, the immobility time of the model group in the forced swim test was increased (P<0.01) and the total movement distance, residence time in central area, number of entries in central area and movement distance in central area were decreased (P<0.01). Additionally, the contents of 5-HT, NE and cAMP in hippocampus of the model group as well as the protein expressions of PKA, BDNF and CRE,the mRNA expressions of BDNF and CREB were lower than those in the normal group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the CLMT groups had reduced immobility time (P<0.01), elevated total movement distance, residence time in central area, number of entries in central area and movement distance in central area (P<0.05, P<0.01), up-regulated contents of 5-HT, NE and cAMP in hippocampus (P<0.05, P<0.01), and up-regulated protein expressions of PKA, BDNF and CREB and mRNA expressions of BDNF and CREB (P<0.01). HE staining and Nissl staining showed that CLMT significantly improved the neuronal structure in rat hippocampus. ConclusionCLMT alleviates the anxiety and depression of rats. These effects may be mediated by regulating monoamine neurotransmitters 5-HT and NE in hippocampus of depressed rats, activating cAMP/PKA/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway, up-regulating the expression of BDNF and protecting hippocampal structure and function .
