Objective:
To explore the relationship between abuse experience with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts of junior middle school students, and to provide a reference for suicide prevention of junior middle school students.
Methods:
Cluster sampling method were used to selct 10 289 junior middle school students from 25 districts and counties of Chongqing were included in the analysis of this study from July to September in 2020. And Questionnaire on Abuse in Childhood and Mental Health Scale for Middle School Students were applied to collect the data about demographic information, suicide ideation and behavior.
Results:
The prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among junior middle school students were 20.93% and 10.83%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression model found that after controlling for demographic variables and mental health, emotional abuse ( OR =2.07) and emotional neglect ( OR =2.03) showed higher correlations with suicidal ideation than the other three types of childhood abuse( OR physical neglect =1.19, OR physical abuse =1.60, OR sexual abuse =1.37, P <0.05); and sexual abuse ( OR =2.29) and physical neglect ( OR =1.87) showed higher associations with suicide attempt than the other three types of abuse( OR emotional abuse =1.63, OR emotional neglect =1.59, OR physical abuse =1.50, P <0.01).
Conclusion
All five types of child abuse were independent risk factors for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, and emotional neglect and emotional abuse had a greater effect on suicidal ideation, sexual abuse and physical neglect had a greater effect on suicide attempts.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Danzhi Xiaoyaosan on the phosphorylation of tau protein and different sites of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and phosphoseryl/suanyl phosphate protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in the hippocampus of rats with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its mechanism. MethodThe rat model of AD was established by injecting okadaic acid into the bilateral hippocampus of 90 male Wistar rats in SPF grades. The rats with successful modeling were selected and randomly divided into model group, aricept group (0.5 mg·kg-1), and Danzhi Xiaoyaosan high, medium, and low groups (17.55, 8.77, and 4.38 g·kg-1), and then gavaged for 42 d, once a day. Morris water maze was used to detect the learning and memory ability of rats, Nissl's staining was used to observe the morphological structure of neurons in the hippocampus, and Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of tau protein, GSK-3β, and PP2A. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression levels of tau protein, GSK-3β, and PP2A. ResultAs compared with the control group, the learning and memory abilities of the rats in the model group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the hippocampal CA3 region cells had abnormal structure, disorderly arrangement, and decreased number. The expression levels of GSK-3β mRNA, GSK-3β, p-GSK-3β-Tyr216, p-PP2A, and p-tau were increased in the model group as compared with the control group (P<0.01), and those of p-GSK-3β-Ser9 and PP2A decreased significantly (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the learning and memory ability of the Aricept group and the Danzhi Xiaoyaosan groups were improved (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the cell morphology and the number of hippocampal CA3 regions were better. The mRNA expression levels of PP2A and tau in the Aricept group were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), the mRNA expression level of GSK-3β was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01), and the protein expression levels of GSK-3β, p-GSK-3β-Tyr216, and p-PP2A were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the protein expression level of PP2A was significantly up-regulated (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the mRNA expression level of PP2A in the high-dose Danzhi Xiaoyaosan group was significantly up-regulated (P<0.01), and that of GSK-3β was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01), whereas the protein expression levels of p-PP2A, p-GSK-3β-Tyr216, and p-tau were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the protein expression level of PP2A was significantly up-regulated (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the mRNA expression level of GSK-3β was significantly down-regulated in the medium-dose Danzhi Xiaoyaosan group (P<0.01), the protein expression levels of GSK-3β, p-GSK-3β-Tyr216, and p-tau were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the protein expression level of PP2A was significantly up-regulated (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the mRNA expression level of PP2A was significantly up-regulated in the low-dose Danzhi Xiaoyaosan group (P<0.01), and that of GSK-3β was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01), whereas the protein expression levels of GSK-3β and p-GSK-3β-Tyr216 were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and those of p-GSK-3β-Ser9 and PP2A were significantly up-regulated (P<0.01). ConclusionDanzhi Xiaoyaosan can improve the learning and memory ability of rats with AD, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the activities of GSK-3β and PP2A protein-related sites and the phosphorylation of tau protein.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the method for PCR identification of bullwhip, and to identify the authenticity of bullwhip at the molecular level. METHODS: DNA samples of bullwhip and its counterfeits (donkey whip, pig whip, sheep whip) were extracted and their integrity, purity and concentration were detected. Using GenBank related information, using mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene of bullwhip as target gene, Primer-BLAST online software was used to design specific primer. PCR amplification was performed for whips of different species, and electrophoretic analysis was conducted for the product. PCR products of bullwhip samples were cloned and confirmed by DNA sequencing. The specificity and repeatability of the established PCR method were verified. RESULTS: DNA purity of the bullwhip and its counterfeits was high, and there was no protein or RNA pollution. 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis showed that there were obvious target gene bands of bullwhip samples at 200-300 bp, while no corresponding bands appeared in other counterfeit products. The results of DNA sequencing showed that the nucleotide sequence of the gene fragment of bullwhip was 100% similar to that of the bullwhip in GeneBank. Results of methodological validation showed that established method was specific and reproducible. CONCLUSIONS: The established PCR identification method based on Cyt b gene in the study is simple, rapid, accurate, specific and reproducible, and can meet the requirements of analysis and identification of bullwhip and its counterfeits.
