Objective:To explore the mediating role of self-hating in the influence of adverse childhood experiences on adolescents' negative emotions.Methods:A questionnaire method was used to collect demographic variables, and 7 012 valid questionnaires were obtained from adolescents by applying the revised adverse childhood experiences questionnaire, patient health questionnaire-4, and self-hate scale from May 1 to May 30, 2022, in five high schools(90 classes) and five junior high schools(60 classes) in Rizhao city, Shandong province, China. Data entry and analysis were performed by SPSS 22.0 software.Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison between demographic variables and other variables, and the correlations between variables were expressed by Spearman correlation coefficient. AMOS 23.0 software was applied for testing the mediating and moderating effects of variables. Results:(1)There were significant positive correlations between adverse childhood experiences(0(2)) and negative emotion(3(10))( r=0.459, P<0.01), self-hating(2(4))( r=0.427, P<0.01). There were significant positive correlations between self-hating and negative emotion( r=0.566, P<0.01). (2) Self-hating played a mediating role between adverse childhood experience and adolescent negative emotion, and the mediating effect was 0.299, accounted for 61.27% of the total effect.(3) The mediating pathway of self-hated was moderated by gender, with girls' adverse childhood experiences( Bsimple=2.428, t=39.585, P<0.05) predicting self-hating more than boys( Bsimple=1.641, t=25.355, P<0.05). Conclusion:Adverse childhood experiences can predict adolescents' negative emotions, and self-disgusting can also affect adolescents' negative emotions.Gender plays a moderating role in the mediating pathway.

Purpose: Transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS), as a non-invasive modality, has been clinically used as an alternative treatment for children with overactive bladder (OAB). We conducted a pooled analysis to explore the effect of TENS on OAB. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guideline was followed in this study. The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, as well as the reference lists of the retrieved studies, were used to find trials relevant for assessing the use of TENS to treat OAB. Results: Of the 246 records identified, 8 publications were analyzed in our study. Our analysis found that TENS resulted in a greater decrease of wet days/wk, daily voiding frequency, daily incontinence episodes, and daily number of voids than was observed in the control group. Furthermore, TENS-treated patients showed similar visual analogue scale (VAS) scores to patients in the control group, demonstrating that the application of TENS did not increase patients’ discomfort and pain. TENS had a relative advantage in the number of partial responses, but no clear differences were found in frequency of no response or a full response compared to the control group. In urodynamic testing, TENS led to obvious improvements in average voided volume and maximum voided volume in children with OAB. Conclusions TENS had a remarkable effect on the improvement of urodynamic indexes and objective OAB symptoms without a significant increase in VAS scores for children with OAB.

BackgroundThe development of executive function in adolescents is influenced by many environmental factors. Previous studies have found that perceived stress is closely related to executive function， whereas its role in the mediation of executive function remains poorly studied. ObjectiveTo explore the role of negative affect and self-hate in mediating the relationship between perceived stress and executive function in adolescents， so as to assist the improvement of executive function in adolescents. MethodsQuestionnaires were administered to 7 734 adolescents from five junior and five senior high schools in Rizhao city， Shandong province from 1 to 30 May 2022. Data were collected using a self-made questionnaire， and adolescents were assessed using Perceived Stress Scale （PSS）， Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Self Report Version （BRIEF-SR）， Patient Health Questionnaire （PHQ-4） and Self-Hate Scale （SHS）. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between variables. A Bootstrap method was chosen to examine the mediation effect of self-hate and negative affect on the relationship between perceived stress and executive function in adolescents. ResultsA total of 7 012 （90.66%） valid questionnaires were retrieved. BRIEF-SR score was positively correlated with PSS， PHQ-4 and SHS scores （r=0.564， 0.653， 0.597， P<0.01）. PSS score was positively correlated with PHQ-4 and SHS scores （r=0.615， 0.531， P<0.01）. PHQ-4 score was positively correlated with SHS score （r=0.566， P<0.01）. The value of mediation effect of perceived stress on executive function was 0.574 （95% CI： 0.555~0.594）. Self-hate （indirect effect value of 0.160， 95% CI： 0.145~0.175） and negative affect （indirect effect value of 0.143， 95% CI： 0.129~0.158）， separately from each other， mediated the relationship between perceived stress and executive function， and a chained mediation effect of self-hate and negative affect was also documented （indirect effect value of 0.065， 95% CI： 0.058~0.073）， accounting for 27.87%， 24.91% and 11.32% of the total effect， respectively. ConclusionThe perceived stress of adolescents may be a influencing factor of the executive function. Additionally， perceived stress can either directly affect executive function or indirectly through the separate or chained mediation via negative affect and self-hate.
