Objective To investigate the changes in serum levels of claudin-5 and Apelin-13 in patients with depression and their relationship with disease progression and sleep disorders.Methods A total of 128 patients with depression admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to July 2023 were selected as the study group,and another 128 patients who underwent physical examinations during the same period were selected as the control group.The correlation between the expression levels of serum claudin-5 and Apelin-13 in patients with depression and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD)score,as well as the diagnostic value of serum claudin-5 and Apelin-13 for the severity of depression in patients were analyzed.Results The expression level of claudin-5 in the serum of patients in study group was higher than that of the control group,which increased with the severity of the disease(P<0.05)and was positively correlated with the HAMD score(r=0.713,P<0.05).In addition,the expression level of claudin-5 in the serum of patients with sleep disorders was higher than that of those without sleep disorders(P<0.05),and the trend of changes in the expression level of Apelin-13 was opposite;Age,age at onset of depression,and claudin-5 were factors for sleep disorders in patients with depression,while Apelin-13 was a protec-tive factor(P<0.05);The combined detection of serum claudin-5 and Apelin-13 is superior to their individual detection(Z combined detection-claudin-5=2.393,Z combined detection-Apelin-13=1.964,P=0.016,0.044).Conclusion The expression levels of claudin-5 and Apelin-13 in serum of patients with depression were related to the progression of disease and the sleep disorders and the combined detection has high diagnostic value for severe depression.

Cognitive dysfunction is the impairment of higher brain functions.Cognitive impairment caused by neuropsychiatric diseases has caused serious impact on patients'quality of life and the outcome of the disease.The transcranial alternating current stimulation(tACS)improves cognitive function by modulating neural oscillations of specific frequencies,affecting the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine,and enhancing local and distal synchronization of brain networks.Specific frequencies of tACS can improve the cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer disease(AD),schizophrenia,and depression,among which the gamma and theta frequencies of tACS have the most significant effects on cognitive function.tACS has high safety and low operational difficulty,and has great potential to improve cognitive function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mental health status of the front-line anti-epidemic medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak， so as to provide references for the targeted psychological intervention and improvement of mental health status. MethodsA total of 162 front-line medical staff who worked in Lanzhou Heavy Particles Hospital of Gansu Province from October to December 2021 were were enrolled， and assessed using self-designed general information questionnaire， Self-rating Anxiety Scale （SAS） and Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）. ResultsA total of 144 medical staff completed the valid questionnaire survey， and 17 （11.81%） and 19 （13.19%） cases were found to have anxiety and depression， respectively. The detection rate of anxiety yielded statistical difference among medical staff with different anti-epidemic working hours （χ²=10.602， P<0.01）， and the detection rate of depression demonstrated statistical differences among medical staff with different occupations， family history of depression and anti-epidemic working hours （χ²=5.486， 4.039， 7.526， P<0.05）. ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 outbreak， front-line medical staff develop varying degrees of anxiety and depression. Furthermore， the detection rate of anxiety is relatively high among the staff with long anti-epidemic working hours， and the detection rate of depression is relatively high among the doctors， the staff with family history of depression and long anti-epidemic working hours.

ObjectiveTo investigate the non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorder， analyze related influencing factors， and provide theoretical basis and reference for the prevention and treatment of NSSI. MethodsAccording to DSM-5 criteria， 95 depressive adolescents were divided into two groups： one with NSSI （NSSI group） and one without NSSI （nNSSI group）. All patients were assessed with Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire （ANSAQ）， Self-Rating Depression Scale （SDS）， Self-Rating Anxiety Scale （SAS）， Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire （SCSQ）， Experiences in Close Relationships-Relationship Structures Scale （ECR-RS）， and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form （CTQ-SF）. The inter-group differences were compared. The influencing factors of NSSI were analyzed by using binary logistic regression. ResultsOf the 95 depressive adolescents， 59 cases of NSSI were identified， with a detection rate of 62.11%. NSSI group had higher scores than nNSSI group on SDS， SAS， negative coping style， paternal attachment anxiety， maternal attachment anxiety and avoidance， CTQ-SF total score， emotional neglect， physical neglect， emotional abuse， and sexual abuse （all P<0.05）. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety， negative coping style， maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse increased the risk of NSSI among adolescents with depressive disorders （all P< 0.05）. ConclusionsAdolescents with depression have a high incidence of NSSI behaviors， which is related to anxiety， negative coping style， maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse. In addition to improving patients' depression and anxiety in clinical setting， attention should also be paid to patients' coping styles， parent-child relationship and childhood trauma to reduce the occurrence of NSSI behaviors.

OBJECTIVES: Major depressive disorder (MDD) patients with anhedonia tend to have a poor prognosis. The underlying imaging basis for anhedonia in MDD remains largely unknown. The relationship between nodal properties and anhedonia in MDD patients need to be further investigated. Herein, this study aims to explore differences of cerebral functional node characteristics in MDD patients with severe anhedonia (MDD-SA) and MDD patients with mild anhedonia (MDD-MA) before and after the antidepressant treatment. METHODS: Ninety participants with current MDD were recruited in this study. 24-Item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) and Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) were used to assess the severity of depression and anhedonia at baseline and the end of 6-months treatment. The MDD patients who scored above the 25th percentile on the SHAPS were assigned to an MDD-SA group (n=19), while those who scored below the 25th percentile were assigned to an MDD-MA group (n=18). All patients in the 2 groups received antidepressant treatment. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) images of all the patients were collected at baseline and the end of 6-months treatment. Graph theory was applied to analyze the patients' cerebral functional nodal characteristics, which were measured by efficiency (e_i) and degree (k_i). RESULTS: Repeated measures 2-factor ANCOVA showed significant main effects on group on the e_i and k_i values of left superior frontal gyrus (LSFG) (P=0.003 and P=0.008, respectively), and on the e_i and k_i values of left medial orbital-frontal gyrus (LMOFG) (P=0.004 and P=0.008, respectively). Compared with the MDD-MA group, the significantly higher e_i and k_i values of the LSFG (P=0.015 and P=0.021, respectively), and the significantly higher e_i and k_i values of the LMOFG (P=0.015 and P=0.037, respectively) were observed in the MDD-SA group at baseline. Meanwhile, higher SHAPS scores could result in higher e_i and k_i values of LSFG (P=0.019 and P=0.026, respectively), and higher e_i value of LMOFG (P=0.040) at baseline; higher SHAPS scores could result in higher e_i values of LSFG (P=0.049) at the end of 6-months treatment. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that sex were negatively correlated with the e_i and k_i values of LSFG (r= -0.014, P=0.004; r=-1.153, P=0.001, respectively). The onset age of MDD was negatively correlated with the k_i value of LSFG (r=-0.420, P=0.034) at the end of 6-months treatment. We also found that SHAPS scores at baseline were positively correlated with the HAMD-24 scores (r=0.387, P=0.022) at the end of 6-months treatment. CONCLUSIONS There are obvious differences in nodal properties between the MDD-SA and the MDD-MA patients, such as the high e_i of LSFG in the MDD-SA patients, which may be associated with the severity of anhedonia. These nodal properties could be potential biomarkers for the prognosis of MDD. The increased e_i and k_i values in the LSFG of MDD-SA patients may underlie a compensatory mechanism or protective mechanism. The mechanism may be an important component of the pathological mechanism of MDD-SA. The poor prognosis in the MDD-SA patients suggests that anhedonia may predict a worse prognosis in MDD patients. Sex and onset age of MDD may affect the nodal properties of LSFG at baseline and the end of 6-months treatment.
