Objective:To explore the relationship between suicidal ideation and family function in college students,and further explore the roles of self-affirmation and reasons for living in this relationship.Method:Totally 843 college students were selected in Guangdong Province,and surveyed with the suicide ideation items of the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation-Chinese Version(BSI-CV),Family Function Questionnaire(APGAR),self-affirmation subscale of General Health Questionnaire(GHQ-20)and Reason for Living Scale-Chinese Version(RFL-C).Re-sults:The scores of APGAR,self-affirmation subscale and RFL-C were negatively correlated with suicidal ideation scores(r=-0.10,-0.14,-0.11;Ps＜0.01).The mediating and chain mediating effects of self-affirmation and reasons for living were-0.03,-0.02 and-0.01,respectively,accounting for 42.86％,28.56％and 14.29％of the total effect,respectively.Conclusion:College students'suicidal ideation may be related to family function,and could be reduced by enhancing self-affirmation and reasons for living.

Objective:To investigate the status of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in male large-scale mechanical maintenance workers, and to explore the relationship between WMSDs and thyroid indexes.Methods:From April to July 2022, male front-line maintenance workers in a large-scale mechanical maintenance enterprise who participated in occupational health examination were selected as the study subjects ( n=2036). The occurrence of WMSDs was investigated by questionnaire. The levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in serum were detected. χ2 test, t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to detect thyroid diseases and hormone levels of workers in WMSDs group and non-WMSDs group, and binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between thyroid disease, T3, T4, TSH and WMSDs. Results:The incidence of WMSDs among the male large-scale mechanical maintenance workers was 73.18% (1490/2036). The rate of thyroid disease in WMSDs group was higher than that in non-WMSDs group [8.26% (123/1490) vs. 4.95% (27/546), χ 2=6.42, P=0.011], and the TSH value was lower than that in non-WMSDs group[1.66 (1.23, 2.26) μIU/ml vs. 1.75 (1.30, 2.42) μIU/ml, Z=-2.40, P=0.019]. There were no significant differences in the levels of T3, T4 and abnormal levels of 3 hormones between the two groups ( P>0.05). After accounting for individual and occupational factors, workers with thyroid disease had an increased risk of WMSDs ( OR=1.656, 95% CI: 1.072-2.559, P=0.023), while workers with increased TSH had a decreased risk of WMSDs ( OR=0.897, 95% CI: 0.823-0.977, P=0.013) . Conclusion:The incidence of WMSDs in male workers of large-scale mechanical maintenance is high, and its incidence may be related to thyroid index. Thyroid disease may be a risk factor for WMSDs, and increased TSH may be a protective factor for WMSDs.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)levels and cerebral microbleeds(CMBs)and cognitive impairment and to assess the predictive value of HIF-1α for CSVD-related cognitive impairment.Methods A total of 104 patients with CSVD who attended the Department of Neurology,First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from June 2022 to November 2023 were enrolled.All enrolled patients were subjected to basic statistics,cranial nuclear magnetic resonance examination,cognitive function assessment,and serum HIF-1α test,and the number and location of CMBs were counted.Based on the above data the enrolled patients were grouped.The correlation between HIF-1α and cognitive function and CMBs was studied the influencing factors of CMBs and cognitive impairment were analyzed,and the predictive value of HIF-1α on the occurrence of cognitive impairment was evaluated.Results There were statistically significant differences in HIF-1α levels and cognitive function among different CMBs groups.Serum HIF-1α levels were significantly negatively correlated with overall cognitive function,visuospatial and executive function,attention,and delayed recall,and serum HIF-1α was positively correlated with the number of CMBs.HIF-1α may be a risk factor for CMBs and cognitive impairment associated with CSVD,and serum HIF-1α has potential in predict the cognitive impairment caused by CSVD.Conclusion Serum levels of HIF-1α were associated with the number of CMB and CSVD-related cognitive impairment,and serum levels of HIF-1α may have a predictive value for CSVD-related cognitive impairment.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between susceptibility to hearing loss in noise-exposed Han Chinese male homo sapiens and glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene polymorphisms, providing a scientific basis for further understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and screening for genetic susceptibility biomarkers.Methods:In May 2024, a cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit 332 male Han workers exposed to noise from a prominent mechanical maintenance enterprise. Workers were classified into the hearing loss group if they exhibited a binaural high-frequency average hearing threshold exceeding 25 dB and a binaural speech frequency average hearing threshold loss that was less than the binaural high-frequency average hearing threshold loss, resulting in a total of 332 individuals in this group. Furthermore, a matched group of 332 hearing-normal workers was established on a 1∶1 basis for each hearing-impaired worker, using criteria such as the same job type, age, and a noise exposure duration of ≤4 years. Basic data of worker was collected through a questionnaire survey, and individual noise exposure levels were assessed using cumulative noise exposure (CNE). Various PCR and high-throughput sequencing techniques were employed to identify polymorphisms in the GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1rs1695 genes. The basic information and genotypes of the two groups were compared using paired t-tests and paired chi-square tests. A Cox regression model was utilized to establish a 1∶1 paired logistic regression model to examine the correlation between GST gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to NIHL. Results:Individuals with GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene deletion are more susceptible to NIHL compared to those with existing genes, even after adjusting for other factors ( OR=1.464, 95% CI: 1.02-2.09; OR=0.68, 95% CI: 1.06-2.02). Wearing protective equipment occasionally, rather than consistently, significantly increases the risk of NIHL ( OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.01-1.88). There was no link between GSTP1rs1695 polymorphism and NIHL risk ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:The deletion of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes is an independent influencing factor that increases the risk of NIHL, and can be considered as a genetic susceptibility biomarker for the NIHL population. Strengthening personal hearing protection is an effective measure to reduce the risk of NIHL.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) and cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), and the role of deep medullary vein (DMV) score in this process.Methods:A total of 140 patients with CSVD admitted to the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan Medical University from December 2022 to August 2024 were selected as the research objects. The basic data statistics, head magnetic resonance imaging examination, cognitive function assessment, serum sTREM2 detection and DMV score were performed. All data were analyzed by SPSS 29.0 software and GraphPad Prism 10.0 software packages. Logistic regression model was used to explore the influencing factors of cognitive impairment. Structural equation model was used to analyze the mediating effect of DMV score on the association between serum sTREM2 and cognitive impairment. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum sTREM2 level and DMV score for cognitive impairment in CSVD patients.Results:Serum sTREM2 level ( B=0.017, OR=1.017, 95% CI=1.003-1.031), DMV score ( B=0.375, OR=1.455, 95% CI=1.175-1.802) and years of education ( B=-0.248, OR=0.780, 95% CI=0.635-0.958) were risk factors for cognitive impairment (all P<0.05). sTREM2 not only directly affected cognitive function, but also indirectly affected cognitive function through DMV score. The direct effect (effect size=-0.022) and mediating effect (effect size=-0.007) accounted for 75.9% and 24.1% of the total effect (effect size=-0.029), respectively. The areas under the ROC curve of serum sTREM2 level, DMV score, and their combination for predicting cognitive impairment in CSVD patients were 0.880, 0.891, and 0.910, respectively (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Serum sTREM2 not only directly affects the cognitive function of patients with cerebral small vessel disease, but also indirectly affects cognitive function through DMV score. The combination of serum sTREM2 levels and DMV score has high predictive value for the risk of CSVD-related cognitive impairment.
