ObjectiveTostudytheroleof hotshockprotein (HSP)47in tubulointerstitial fibrosis induced by transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1),and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods Human proximal tubular epithelial cells(HK-2) were divided into threegroups:control,TGF-β1andHSP47siRNA. Theexpressionsof HSP47, collagenⅣ,fibronectin(FN),plasminogen activator inhibitor 1(PAI-1) mRNA and HSP47,collagen Ⅳ,FN protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively.PAl-1 protein was detected by ELISA. ResultsHK-2expressedHSP47innormalmedium. ThemRNAandprotein expressions of HSP47 up-regulated in concentration- and time-dependent manner in HK-2 cells induced with increasing concentrations of TGF-β1(0,2.5,5,10 μg/L) and with prolong times (12,24,48 h),and peaked at 10 μg/L TGF-β1 for 48 h.Similar phenomena was observed in the mRNA andproteinexpressionsof collagenⅣ, FN, PAI-1inHK-2 cellsinducedbyincreasing concentrations of TGF-β1 (0,2.5,5,10 μg/L) at different time points (12,24,48 h),and peaked at 10 μg/L TGF-β1 for 48 h.HSP47 siRNA could significantly reduce the up-regulation of mRNA and protein expressions of HSP47,collagen Ⅳ,FN,PAI-1 in HK-2 cells induced by TGF-β1.Conclusion HSP47 can promote renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis maybe through the regulation of the expressions of collagen Ⅳ,FN,PAI-1.

Objective To explore the status of depression in patients with advanced schistosomiasis and its influencing fac-tors,so as to provide the evidence for improving psychological interventions. Methods A total of 206 patients with advanced schistosomiasis were investigated with the self-designed general information questionnaire,the Self-Rating Depression Scale,and WHOQOL-BREF Form. Results Among the 206 cases,the incidence of depression was 69.4%,and depression was negatively related to the quality of life(P = 0.000). The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the times of hospitalization(β=0.442,P=0.007)was a risk factor for depression,while the high education levels(β=-0.583,P=0.011)and the history of por-tal hypertension operation(β=-0.917,P=0.000)were the protective factors. Conclusion The incidence of depression in ad-vanced schistosomiasis patients is high,and it is influenced by various factors. Therefore,we should take corresponding interven-tions to reduce its occurrence.

Objective To observe the effect of self-developed simple arteriovenous haemostat on compression hemostasis of the puncture point after withdrawing needlesfor venipuncture. Methods 160 inpatients with transfusion in the inpatient area of Neurology Department who are admitted from April 2015 to June 2015 were selected as the subject of study, and they were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 80 cases for each group. The patients in the control group weretreated with conventional compression hemostasis, and they were continuously compressed for 5 minutes, while the observation group was treated with the simple arteriovenous haemostat (patent number ZL 201520184173.3) to make compression hemostasis. The nurses operated the haemostat for about 30 to 50 seconds, without waiting beside the patients. The haemostat was removed after 5 minutes. The incidence of subcutaneous congestion and puncture point bleeding, as well as the nurses' time on the local compression hemostasis of the puncture point and the comfort level and satisfaction of patients were compared between the two groups. Results The control group was 5 cases (6.25%) of the puncture point bleeding, 9 cases (11.25%) of subcutaneous congestion, 48 cases (60.00%) of comfortable feeling, 22 cases (27.50%) of common feeling, 10 cases (12.50%) of discomfort, 47 cases(58.75%) of satisfaction, 24 cases (30.00%) of common satisfaction and 9 cases (11.25%) of dissatisfaction. The observation group was 0 case of the puncture point bleeding, 2 cases(2.50%)of subcutaneous congestion, 77 cases(96.25%)of comfortable feeling, 2 cases(2.50%)of common feeling, 1 case(1.25%)of discomfort, 70 cases(87.50%) of satisfaction, 8 cases (10.00%)of common satisfaction and 2 cases(2.50%)of dissatisfaction. The observation group was better than the control group in compression hemostasis time, subcutaneous congestion, punctures point bleeding and satisfaction and comfort level, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions The strength, position and time of compression hemostasis by simple arteriovenous haemostat are controllable, visual and constant, which can achieve the effect of standard compression by nurses, and has the value to be popularized in clinical practice.

Objective:
To analyze the correlation and gender differences between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide a reference for promoting the mental health of middle school students.
Methods:
With a stratified random cluster sampling method, a total of 6 656 middle school students in 4 cities, including Nanchang, Shenyang, Taiyuan, and Zhengzhou, were selected as research subjects from October 2021 to October 2022. The Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACEs-IQ), Benevolent Childhood Experiences Scale (BCEs), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorders-7 (GAD-7) scale were used to conduct questionnaire surveys.The Chi square test was used to compare the reporting rates of depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students in different groups, and a Logistic regression model was established to analyze the effects of ACEs and PCEs on depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students and their gender differences.
Results:
The reporting rate of depressive symptoms among middle school students was 20.1%, and the reporting rate of anxiety symptoms was 13.9% . ACEs were positively correlated with depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students (depression symptoms: OR =1.20, 95% CI =1.18-1.22, anxiety symptoms: OR =1.18, 95% CI =1.16-1.20), while PCEs were negatively correlated with depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students(depression symptoms: OR =0.84, 95% CI = 0.83 -0.86, anxiety symptoms: OR =0.85, 95% CI =0.83-0.87) ( P <0.05). In the general population (depression symptoms : OR =0.99, 95% CI = 0.98- 0.99, anxiety symptoms: OR =0.99, 95% CI =0.99-1.00) and among girls (depression symptoms: OR = 0.98 , 95% CI = 0.97- 0.99 , anxiety symptoms : OR =0.99, 95% CI =0.98-1.00), the interaction term between ACEs and PCEs were negatively correlated with depression and anxiety symptoms ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
ACEs significantly affect the depression and anxiety symptoms of middle school students, while PCEs can help reduce the impact of ACEs on the depression and anxiety symptoms of middle school students, girls are more susceptible to the impact of early experiences than boys. It should focus on gender differences, formulate comprehensive mental health protection strategies, to promote the mental health development of middle school students.
