Objective To investigate the impact of hyponatremia on the short-term prognosis in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods The present study included 324 patients with acute STEMI treated with PCI within 12 hours after admission from March 2014 to May 2016.Patients were divided into three groups according to plasma sodium levels (Na+) at admission:group A with Na+ < 130 mmoL/L,group B with Na + 130-134 mmol/L and group C with Na + ≥ 135 mmol/L (normal plasma sodium level).Clinical data and biochemical variables were compared among the three groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the correlation between plasma sodium levels and short-term prognosis.Results There were significant differences in age,fasting glucose,NT-proBNP,LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) and hsCRP (high sensitive C-reactive protein) among the three groups (P < 0.05).The mortality in group A was obviously higher than that in Group B (20.0% vs.6.3%,P < 0.05) and in group C (20.0% vs.6.0%,P < 0.05).In addition,there were significant differences in rates of cardiogenic shock and acute renal failure among three groups.Logistic regression analysis showed that old age,low LVEF and hyponatremia were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality (P < 0.05).Compared with group B,patients in group A had significantly high risks of death (OR =3.058,95% CI:1.339-4.358,P =0.003),suggesting that the high risk of 30-day mortality associated with the severity of hyponatremia.Conclusions At admission,the hyponatremia in patients with acute STEMI treated with PCI is an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality,and prognosis worsens with the severity of hyponatremia.

Objective:To explore the impact of negation effect on color judgment of the color-word pairs and the impairment of cognitive inhibition function of the patients with schizophrenia (SCH) through embedding negation into the Stroop task.Methods:From January to December 2021, " Affirmative/ negative + color words" as the experimental materials, classical Stroop paradigm as the experimental paradigm, a mixed experimental design of 2 (groups: the SCH group vs the normal control group)×2(phrase polarity: affirmative phrases vs negative phrases)×2 (word-color congruence: consistency vs inconsistency) was designed to explore the inhibition function of negative phrases of the SCHs under bipolar negation conditions (Experiment 1) and multi-polar negation conditions (Experiment 2) respectively. The schizophrenic patients in Experiment 1(28 patients and 28 normal controls) and Experiment 2(30 patients and 30 normal controls) were sampled from the inpatients of Tangshan Kailuan Mental Health Center and Suzhou Guangji Hospital respectively, and the healthy controls were recruited from the community. SPSS 25.0 software was adopted as statistical analysis, and accuracy, response time of Stroop and the Stroop effect were analyzed by repeated measurement analysis of variance. Results:(1) The group main effects of response time were both significant in bipolar negation conditions(Experiment 1) ( F=49.22, P<0.001, ηp2=0.48) and multi-polar negation conditions (Experiment 2) ( F=37.58, P<0.001, ηp2=0.39). In bipolar negation (Experiment 1) conditions, as for the Stroop effect of response time, there was a significant interaction between the groups and polarities( F=4.42, P<0.05, ηp2=0.08), and there was a statistically significant difference between the affirmative Stroop effect (-0.137±0.522)and the negative Stroop effect(0.082±0.169) in the schizophrenia group( F=7.15, P<0.05, ηp2=0.12). In multi-polar negation conditions (Experiment 2), there was a marginal significant of the interaction between Stroop conditions and polarities in accuracy( F=3.81, P=0.056, ηp2=0.06). The accuracy under the word color consistency condition was higher than that under inconsistency condition((96.51±1.55)%, (90.00±2.54)%) ( F=5.15, P<0.05, ηp2=0.08). (3)In bipolar negation (Experiment 1) conditions, as for the accuracy, the interaction among groups, word color consistencies, and polarities was significant( F=6.66, P<0.05, ηp2=0.11). The interaction between word color consistencies and polarities was significant in the schizophrenia group( F=9.16, P<0.05, ηp2=0.15). In the normal group, the interaction between Stroop conditions and polarities was not significant( P>0.05). Conclusion:The impairment of cognitive inhibition function in schizophrenia is severe, which is reflected in negative processing; negation functions as cognitive inhibition, which is particularly prominent in bipolar negation.

Objective:To explore the effect sense of security and self-control on parent-child cohesion and externalizing problem behaviors in primary and middle school students.Methods:A total of 1 402 primary and middle school students were investigated with the problem behavior frequency scale(PBFS), family adaptability and cohesion scale(FACES-CV), security questionnaire(SQ) and brief self-control scale(BSCS). SPSS 25.0 and PROCESS v2.16 were used for statistical analysis, and common method deviation test, Pearson correlation analysis and intermediary effect analysis were used in the analysis.Results:Parent-child cohesion of primary and middle school students was positively correlated with security and self-control ( r=0.279, 0.303, both P<0.01), which was negatively correlated with externalizing problem behaviors ( r=-0.154, P<0.01). Security was positively correlated with self-control ( r=0.567, P<0.01). Security, self-control and externalizing problem behaviors were negatively correlated ( r=-0.147, -0.250, both P<0.01). The security and self-control of primary and middle school students played a partial mediating role between parent-child cohesion and externalizing problem behaviors.The mediating effect consisted of two paths: one was parent-child cohesion-self-control-externalizing problem behaviors, the other was parent-child cohesion-security-self-control-externalizing problem behaviors. The effect values of these two paths accounted for 20.52% and 20.26% of the total effect respectively. Conclusion:Parent-child cohesion not only directly affects the externalizing problem behaviors of primary and middle school students, but also indirectly affects the externalizing problem behavior through the independent mediating effect of self-control and the chain mediation of security-self-control.
