Objective To explore the characteristics of polysomnography (PSG) of depressed patients and the correlation between rapid eye movement (REM) and severity degree of depression. Methods Polysomnography was used to assess patients'sleep condition and Montgomery-Asberg depression scale (MADRS) was used to assess the severity degree of depression. 90 patients and 30 healthy controls were included. Results Compared to healthy controls,sleep progress of depressed patients changed as follow:prolonged sleep latency((25.2 ±15.25) minutes) ,lowered sleep efficiency(0.853 ±0.11) ;the architecture of sleep also changed:percentage of stage 1 increased( (27.7 ± 16.38) % ),percentage of REM sleep increased( (22. 8 ± 6. 1 ) % ) , percentage of stage 2 decreased ((40.2±11.3)%), percentage of slow wave sleep decreased ((11.8 ±9. 32)%); REM sleep significantly changed; decreased REM latency((79. 27 ±30. 44) minutes) , increased REM activity((129. 0 ±53. 12) u) .increased intensity of REM((36.7 ±14.0)u/min), increased REM density((159.2 ±57.2)u/min) were observed in depressed patients. There was no obvious correlation between the variance of REM and severity degree of depression. Conclusion There are a series of changes in sleep progress, architecture and REM sleep of depression and the change of REM sleep can be specified to diagnose depression. However,there is no causality between REM variance and severity of depression.

Objective To introduce cause-tracing technique in the static state of Qigong to enrich modem clinic psychotherapy. Methods Based on previous therapeutic experience, we reduced resistance from patients through interview.Then the cause of diseases was detected by analyzing implicit memory. Results Cause-tracing technique in the static state of Qigong could get important relevant information by excavating implicit memory. It was a cause-tracing method characterized by low-resistance and high-speed. Conclusion Cause-tracing technique in the static state of Qigong had great clinical value.

There are many discussions and researches on the positive role of security and negative role of insecurity. However, from the view of biology and evolution, insecurity should be exist when people were born. It makes human to think, then produce relevant behaviors. Just these thinking and behaviors produce culture, maintain psychological individual balance and realize personal value.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and severity degree of post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD), anxiety and depression, and to explore the different mental profile in different groups involved with an earthquake. Methods 26 days after 8.0 grade earthquake in Wenchuan, psychological rescue team of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine went to some communities in Deyang and Mianzhu area of Sichuan province. In this period, a total of 119 survivors, including students(42), teacher(40) and masses(37), were investigated through impact of event scale (IES), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS). Results①The detection rate of score over 19 in IES in 3 groups (students, teacher and masses) were 69%, 80% and 91.9%, respectively. There was significant difference among these 3 groups (F=5.611, P=0.005<0.01) in respect of severity degree of PTSD. ②The values of severity degree of anxiety in 3 groups were significant higher than normal value (P<0.001, all). There was also significant difference among these 3 groups (F=3.376, P=0.038<0.05) in respect of severity degree of anxiety, with the masses group being significant higher than student and teacher group (P=0.029, P=0.022, respectively). ③The values of severity degree of depression in these 3 groups were significant higher than normal value (P<0.05, all). But there was no significant difference (F= 0.670, P=0.514) among these 3 groups. ConclusionThe results suggested the importance to assess PTSD, anxiety and depression in post-disaster area, especially PTSD and anxiety evaluations in the masses group.

Objective:To analyze the radiographic parameters of shoulder balance that affect the postoperative satisfaction of Lenke type 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).Methods:A total of 98 patients with AIS who underwent posterior pedicle screw fusion in Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University from August 2017 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 26 males and 72 females, aged 15.2±5.3 years (range, 10-24 years). Distribution of upper instrumented vertebrae: T 2 58 cases (59%), T 3 25 cases (26%), T 4 15 cases (15%); Distribution of lower instrumented vertebrae: T 12 63 cases (64%), L 1 28 cases (29%), L 2 4 cases (4%), L 3 3 cases (3%). Clavicle angle (CA), radiographic shoulder height (RSH), and coracoid height difference (CHD), clavicle-rib cage intersection difference (CRID), T 1 tilt angle, first rib tilt angle, clavicle chest angle difference(CCAD) and Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) scale were compared before and after operation. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the radiographic indicators of shoulder balance that affected the postoperative satisfaction of Lenke type 1 AIS. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to determine the threshold value of the imaging index. Results:All operations were successfully completed. The operation time was 260±80 min (range, 220-320 min), and the intraoperative blood loss was 360±110 ml (range, 300-700 ml). There was no nerve, dural or vascular injury during operation. RSH, CHD, CRID, T 1 tilt angle, first rib tilt angle, and CCAD at the final follow-up were 4.0 (0, 13.9) mm, 7.0 (0, 12.9) mm, 4.0 (0, 10.0) mm, 4.8° (3.3°, 8.2°), 5.3°±3.9°, and 5.5° (3.0°, 8.9°), respectively, which were less than the preoperative 10.6 (2.0, 20.3) mm, 10.3 (2.5, 15.9) mm, 8.0 (1.0, 15.2) mm, 7.6° (3.5°, 12.2°), 7.5°±6.9°, 8.5° (3.6°, 18.3°), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The SRS-22 function, pain, appearance, and psychological scores at the final follow-up were 4.6 (4.0, 4.9), 4.1±0.5, 4.1±0.7, and 4.2 (3.9, 4.8) points, respectively, which were greater than the preoperative scores of 4.2 (3.8, 4.6), 4.0±0.7, 3.5±0.7, and 4.0 (3.5, 4.4) points, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Binary logistic regression showed that CCAD was an independent radiographic indicator of shoulder balance that affected the satisfaction of AIS patients after orthopaedic surgery ( OR=0.826, P=0.040). ROC curve showed that the area under the curve and 95% CI was 0.726 (0.572, 0.865), and the threshold was 6.6°. Conclusion:CCAD is an independent radiographic parameter of shoulder balance that affects the postoperative satisfaction of AIS. Patients are more likely to achieve a satisfactory outcome when their postoperative CCAD is ≤6.6°, which can be used clinically as a radiographic parameter to assess the efficacy of orthopaedic spine surgery.

Unlike adult mammalian heart, zebrafish heart has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury. Previous study has shown Notch signaling activation in the endocardium is essential for regeneration of the myocardium and this activation is mediated by hemodynamic alteration after injury, however, the molecular mechanism has not been fully explored. In this study we demonstrated that blood flow change could be perceived and transmitted in a primary cilia dependent manner to control the hemodynamic responsive klf2 gene expression and subsequent activation of Notch signaling in the endocardium. First we showed that both homologues of human gene KLF2 in zebrafish, klf2a and klf2b, could respond to hemodynamic alteration and both were required for Notch signaling activation and heart regeneration. Further experiments indicated that the upregulation of klf2 gene expression was mediated by endocardial primary cilia. Overall, our findings reveal a novel aspect of mechanical shear stress signal in activating Notch pathway and regulating cardiac regeneration.

The TEA domain (TEAD) family proteins (TEAD1‒4) are essential transcription factors that control cell differentiation and organ size in the Hippo pathway. Although the sequences and structures of TEAD family proteins are highly conserved, each TEAD isoform has unique physiological and pathological functions. Therefore, the development and discovery of subtype selective inhibitors for TEAD protein will provide important chemical probes for the TEAD-related function studies in development and diseases. Here, we identified a novel TEAD1/3 covalent inhibitor (DC-TEADin1072) with biochemical IC
