Objective:To explore the mediating role of insomnia between childhood trauma and suicide risk in middle school students.Methods:Childhood trauma questionnaire(CTQ), insomnia severity index(ISI) and suicidal behaviors questionnaire-revised(SBQ-R) were used to investigate 3 442 middle school students.According to the total score of the SBQ-R, those who scored less than or equal to 6 were divided into low suicide risk group, and those who scored more than or equal to 7 were divided into high suicide risk group.In this study, there were 2 168 students in the low suicide risk group and 1 274 students in the high suicide risk group.SPSSAU 21.0 online statistical software was used for common method deviation test, descriptive statistics, variance analysis and correlation analysis, and structural equation model was constructed, and Bootstrap method was used for mediation effect test.Results:(1) There were statistically significant differences between the high suicide risk group and the low suicide risk group in terms of grade and gender( χ2=11.144, 83.737, both P<0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in the types of childhood trauma and the severity of insomnia( χ2=292.211, 333.998, both P<0.05). (2) The total score of childhood trauma in the high suicide risk group (43.92±10.50) was higher than that in the low suicide risk group (37.74±6.93) ( F=351.78, P<0.01), and the score of insomnia in the high suicide risk group (10.66±5.54) was higher than that in the low suicide risk group (7.04±4.76) ( F=379.25, P<0.01). (3)The total score of childhood trauma was positively correlated with the score of suicide risk ( r=0.415, P<0.01), and the total score of childhood trauma was positively correlated with the score of insomnia ( r=0.306, P<0.01), and the score of insomnia was significantly positively correlated with the score of suicide risk ( r=0.399, P<0.01). After controlling for demographic data, anxiety and depression, the correlation was still significant ( P<0.01). (4) Path analysis and mediation test showed that childhood trauma had a positive effect on insomnia ( β=0.30, P<0.01), insomnia had a positive effect on suicide risk ( β=0.29, P<0.01), and childhood trauma had a positive effect on suicide risk ( β=0.33, P<0.01). The mediating effect of insomnia accounted for 21.21% of the total effect.After controlling for demographic data, anxiety and depression, the mediating effect accounted for 10.66% of the total effect. Conclusion:Childhood trauma and insomnia have a significant impact on the suicide risk among middle school students.Insomnia plays a partial mediating role between childhood trauma and middle school students' suicide risk.Timely management of the sleep disturbances of traumatized individuals can reduce the suicide risk among middle school students.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the risk factors associated with pathogenesis of cerebral palsy (CP) in young children.
METHODSA cross-sectional survey on the prevalence of CP was conducted in young children aged one to six years in Leshan area, Sichuan Province. Cluster sampling and a 1:2 case-control design were used to investigate the risk factors for pathogenesis of CP.
RESULTSTotally, 148,723 children were surveyed, in which 308 (2.07 per thousand ) were diagnosed as CP. Low birth weight, twins and premature birth were associated with significantly increased prevalence of CP, 16.32, 4.16 and 22.21 times as that in normal birth weight, single birth and full-term birth, respectively. Simple factor analysis showed varied factors involved in pathogenesis of CP. The multivariate analysis revealed that delivery at home, low Apgar score in five minutes, illness during the first month of life, maternal "cold" with fever in their early gestation, low protein (meat and egg) intake during pregnancy and lower education level of mother were risk factors for CP.
CONCLUSIONSPrevalence and clinical features of CP in Leshan was comparable to those in the developed countries. Relevant risk factors could be seen primarily in gestational and perinatal periods, which might involve in mothers, children, environment and heredity, etc. To attach more importance in gestational and perinatal care for mothers and babies will be crucial measures to reduce occurrence of CP in young children.

To investigate the effects of maternal exposure to 13 chemicals mixture (CM) during pregnancy on pregnancy outcome and health status of maternal/offspring mice. C57BL/6 pregnant mice were given drinking water containing carbaryl dimethoate glyphosate methomyl methyl parathion triadimefon aspartame sodium benzoate calcium disodium ethylene diamine tetra-acetate ethylparaben butylparaben bisphenol A and acacia gum The effects of CM exposure on pregnancy outcome, health status of dams/offspring, levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines in dams/offspring and emotional related behaviors of offspring were evaluated. CM exposure during pregnancy had no significant effect on pregnancy outcome, liver function, body weight of the dams in late pregnancy and uterine/ovarian weight after delivery, however, it led to an increase in maternal serum IFN-γ level (<0.05). CM exposure during pregnancy had no significant effect on the liver function of offspring, but increased the serum IFN-γ, prefrontal cortex IFN-γ, and TNF-α and hippocampus IFN-γ levels in the offspring(all <0.01). In addition, the offspring of CM group showed significant abnormal emotion-related (autism-like) behaviors in adulthood, especially in male offspring. Low dose CM exposure during pregnancy may induce inflammation status in dams/offspring, and lead to autism-like behaviors in offspring, indicating the potential effects of low dose CM exposure on human maternal and infant health.

ObjectiveTo study the anxiety and depression status of the third-year junior high school students in Nanning city, and to discuss their relationships with test anxiety, so as to provide references for targeted psychological intervention for students. MethodsFrom May to June, 2021, a simple random sampling method was adopted to randomly enroll three classes of third-grade students from one junior high school in each district and county of Nanning city. The selected students were assessed using Test Anxiety Scale (TAS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). Thereafter, Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the correlation among each scale score. ResultsA total of 2 080 students participated in the survey, and 1 826 (87.79%) valid questionnaires were collected. Among them, 999 students (54.71%) felt uncomfortable due to the test. Anxiety and depression were detected in 577 (31.60%) and 830 (45.45%) students, respectively. TAS score of female students was higher than that of male students [(16.75±6.78) vs. (15.08±6.97), t=-5.136, P<0.01], SAS score of female students was higher than that of male students [(46.05±10.43) vs. (44.16±10.87), t=-3.769, P<0.01], and SDS score of female students was higher than that of male students [(52.34±12.44) vs. (49.98±12.17), t=-4.039, P<0.01]. Correlation analysis showed that SAS and SDS scores were positively correlated with TAS score (r=0.574, 0.531, P<0.01), and the correlation still existed after further controlling for age and gender (r=0.570, 0.526, P<0.01). ConclusionThe third-year junior high school students in Nanning city suffer a high prevalence rate of anxiety and depression, and the two psychological states have positive relations with TAS. Furthermore, both anxiety and depression are more severe in female students than in male students.

Objective To explore the correlation between main indicators of donor liver and early prognosis after liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 166 donors and recipients of post-mortem organ donation (DD) from June 2017 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The effects of donor age,sex,body mass index,serum sodium level,total bilirubin,prothrombin time and international standardized ratio on early allograft dysfunction (EAD) in liver transplant recipients were investigated.According to the culture results of donor liver preservation solution,the results were divided into positive group and negative group.Combined with the culture results of blood,sputum and drainage fluid after liver transplantation,the early infection rate of recipients in the two groups was observed.Results Univariate analysis showed that preoperative donor bilirubin total >17.1 mmol/L and donor cold ischemia time >8 h were risk factors for postoperative EAD in transplant recipients.Multivariate analysis showed that donor cold ischemia time >8 h was an independent risk factor for postoperative EAD in liver transplant recipients;the incidence of EAD in the group with cold ischemia time >8 h was significantly higher than that in the group with cold ischemia time ≤8 h (26.3% vs.7.0%;P =0.003).The positive rate of postoperative sputum culture and drainage fluid culture in the donors with positive donor culture was 43.9% and 48.8%,respectively,which was significantly higher than that in the negative group (10.7% and 13.1%).The difference was statistically significant (P =0.000,P =0.000).The positive rate of postoperative blood culture in the positive group and the negative group was 12.2% and 6.0% with the difference being not statistically significant (P =0.161).Conclusion Cold ischemia time of the donor >8 h is an independent risk factor for EAD in recipients after liver transplantation.Shortening the cold ischemia time of donor liver can reduce the incidence of postoperative EAD in recipients.The culture results of preservation solution have a certain guiding effect on the postoperative anti-infective treatment of the recipients.

PURPOSE: An older female predominance has been reported among chronic cough patients in Western countries, which is considered to be associated with a higher cough sensitivity in females. However, the characteristics of Chinese chronic cough patients remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the age and sex distribution as well as their relationship with cough reflex sensitivity to capsaicin in Chinese chronic cough patients. METHODS: We analyzed the demographic features of 1,882 consecutive chronic cough patients who attended our cough clinic in Guangzhou, China. Cough sensitivity to capsaicin, which was defined as the lowest concentration of capsaicin causing 5 coughs or more (C5), was measured in 539 of the 1,882 patients and 68 healthy volunteers. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 43.0 ± 13.7 years and patients aged <50 years accounted for more than two-thirds of the study population. Around 87% of the patients were never-smokers. The proportion of females (51.5%) was almost equal to that of males (48.5%). The pattern of the age and sex distribution was consistently reflected within most common causes of chronic cough, while a female predominance was shown in patients with cough-variant asthma and patients aged ≥50 years. Female patients had higher cough sensitivity to capsaicin than male patients (log C5: 1.58 ± 0.84 vs. 2.04 ± 0.84 μmol/L, P = 0.001), and patients aged ≥50 years had higher cough sensitivity to capsaicin than patients aged <50 years. CONCLUSIONS: In China, patients with chronic cough have a roughly equal sex distribution and a middle-aged predominance, irrespective of a higher cough sensitivity to capsaicin in females and older patients.

Objective:To summarize the strategies and effects of portal vein reconstruction after liver transplantation in recipients with diffuse portal vein thrombosis(PVT).Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 10 PVT patients undergoing liver transplantation(LT)from January 2014 to June 2019. There were 8 males and 2 females with a age of (50.7±10.1)years. The follow-up period was (66.3±25.8)months. Diameter of portal vein anastomosis, diameter and flow velocity of portal vein and presence of ascites were evaluated by color Doppler ultrasound. And computed tomography(CT)was employed for assessing the presence of esophagogastric varices. And patency of portal vein blood flow, therapeutic outcomes of portal hypertension and survival status of recipients were evaluated.Results:Among 7 patients with diffuse PVT without enlarged collaterals, cavoportal hemitransposition( n=6) and renoportal anastomosis( n=1) were performed.Ascites subsided gradually and minimal ascites( n=4) perdisted.Variceal bleeding did not recur within 6 months.As of December 2021, portal vein blood flow remained unobstructed in 4 recipients and 3 patients died.One case of inferior vena cava thrombosis and renal injury at 3 months post operation died of multiple organ failuer at 8 months post-operation.Another patient died of recurrent hepatocarcinoma at 11 months post-operation.Another case died of stroke at 44 months post-operation.Among 3 patients with diffuse PVT complicated with enlarged collaterals, there were right gastric vein to portal vein anastomosis( n=1), gastric coronary vein to portal vein anastomosis( n=1) and pericholedochalvarix to portal anastomosis( n=1). Ascites gradually subsided within 2 months post-operation.Portal vein anastomosis thrombosis was formed 1 month after operation and racanalizated after anticogulation and thrombosis therapies in patient with gastric coronary vein to portal vein anastomosis.Upper gastroinstestinal hemorrhage occurred 36 months after operation and was relieved by endoscopic ligation and sclerotherapy.Blood flow of portal vein was unobstructed in patients with right gastric vein and pericholedochalvarix to portal vein anastomosis.During the last follow-up, velocity of portal vein surpassed 20 cm/s and liver function remained normal in 7 survivors. Conclusions:For patients with complex PVT, portal vein reconstruction may ensure sufficient portal vein blood flow of graft. After operation, portal hypertension disappears and liver function normalizes.
