Objective To investigate the serum levels of uric acid (UA) in bipolar disorder patients and their clini?cal significance. Methods Serum levels of UA was measured in 126 bipolar disorder patients including 77 mania pa?tients and 49 depression patients, 69 first-episode schizophrenic patients and 126 healthy controls (control group). Bipo?lar disorder patients was assessed by using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Results The serum UA levels were significantly higher in bipolar group [(349.34 ± 107.21) μmol/L] than in schizophrenic group [(319.71±84.48)μmol/L] and in control group [(280.94±71.90)μmol/L] (P<0.01). There were signifi?cant differences in serum UA levels between manic episode and depressive episode [(366.45 ± 104.01) μmol/L vs. (322.45±107.69)μmol/L]. The serum UA levels were higher in both manic episode and depressive episode groups than in control group (P<0.01). The serum UA levels was not significantly different between patients with and without medication (P>0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the correlation of serum UA levels with YMRS scores and HAMD scores was not significant in bipolar disorder patients (P>0.05). Conclusions Patients with bipolar disorder has elevated serum uric acid levels which may be a biomarkers of bipolar disorder.

Objective:
To investigate the social support of medical students during the outbreak of COVID-19 and its mediating effect on the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression with anxiety.
Methods:
A total of 5 593 medical students were enrolled, and Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and 7-tiem Generalize Anxiety Disorder Scale were used to measure.
Results:
The social support score of SSRS of male students was lower than that of female students (t=-4.36, P<0.05) and juniors and seniors scored lower than other grades(F=4.84, P<0.05). Epidemic exposure proportion was positively correlated with both depressive proportionand anxiety proportion(r=0.05, 0.06, P<0.01), while epidemic exposure and depressive proportion and anxiety proportion were negatively correlated with social support score(r=-0.05, -0.25, -0.19, P<0.01). After controlling for gender and grade, the mediating effect of social support in the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression accounted for 26.6% of the total effect, and the mediating effect of subjective support and supportive utilization was 32.3% and 25.7% respectively. After controlling for gender and grade, the mediating effect of social support in the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression accounted for 20.0% of the total effect, and the mediating effect of subjective support and supportive utilization was 15.9% and 12.2% respectively.
Conclusion
Social support has partially mediating effect in the correlation between epidemic exposure with depression and anxiety.

Objective:
To explore the relationship among cognitive flexibility, depression and eating attitude of adolescents and the influencing factors of eating attitude.
Methods:
A total of 1 231 subjects were assessed using general information questionnaire, Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale 11 item(KADS-11), Cognitive Flexibility Inventory(CFI), Eating Attitude Test 26(EAT-26). Data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, univariate linear regression, spearman correlation analysis and Logistic regression.
Results:
There were significant differences in EAT 26 among adolescents between genders and between those with or without depression(P<0.01). Statistically significant differences were observed in CFI, flexible control and KADS 11 among adolescents with or without eating disorders(P<0.01). The scores of EAT 26 was negatively correlated with CFI (r=-0.19, P<0.01) and flexible control(r=-0.23, P<0.01). And there was a significant positive correlation between EAT 26 and KADS 11(r=0.23, P<0.01). Female(OR=2.40, 95%CI=1.87-3.23), depression (OR=1.76, 95%CI=1.35-2.29) and poor flexible control (OR=1.94, 95%CI=1.48-2.54) were risk factors for eating disorders.
Conclusion
Female, individuals with depressive symptoms or with poor flexible control ability are more likely to have eating disorders which need more attention.
