Objective:To investigate the correlation between cognitive function and addiction, impulsivity, and anhedonia in adolescent depressive disorder patients with self-injury behavior.Methods:From September 2021 to October 2022, adolescents with depressive disorders who visited the outpatient department of the Qingdao Mental Health Center were enrolled and divided into self-injury group and non self-injury group based on the presence or absence of self-injury behaviors, each with 60 participants.A self-compiled general information questionnaire, the 17 items Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17), the Ottawa self-injury inventory (OSI), the Chinese version of the Barratt impulsiveness scale (BIS-11), and the temporal experience of pleasure scale(TEPS) were used to evaluate both groups.The Chinese brief cognitive test(C-BCT) was used to assess cognitive function in both groups.SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis, including t-test, χ2 test, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results:The self-injury group had higher scores for OSI addiction factors (9.43±8.29) and BIS-11 (67.09±11.48) compared to the non self-injury group (OSI addiction factor scores: 0, BIS-11 scores: 53.70±7.12, t=6.22, 5.91, both P<0.05). TEPS score and C-BCT scores in various dimensions were lower in the self-injury group than those in the non self-injury group ( t=-2.93, -2.01, -2.88, -2.20, -5.35, all P<0.05). Information processing speed was negatively correlated with BIS-11 score ( r=-0.296, P<0.05), and attention score were negatively correlated with OSI addiction factor score and BIS-11 score ( r=-0.303, -0.561, both P<0.05) and positively correlated with TEPS score ( r=0.364, P<0.05), including a positive correlation with the scale of anticipatory anhedonia score ( r=0.318, P<0.05). Working memory score was negatively correlated with OSI addiction factor score and BIS-11 score ( r=-0.312, -0.416, both P<0.05). Comprehensive ability and executive function scores were negatively correlated with OSI addiction factor score and BIS-11 score ( r=-0.308, -0.679, both P<0.05), and positively correlated with TEPS score ( r=0.304, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that BIS-11 scores were influencing factors of C-BCT dimensions ( β=-0.260, -0.592, -0.557, -1.797, t=-2.150, -3.314, -2.285, -5.165, all P<0.05). Conclusion:In adolescent depressive patients with self-injury, cognitive function is correlated with addiction, impulsivity and anhedonia, among which impulsivity is a risk factor for cognitive function.

Results:1.In terms of external influencing factors of personality development: on the part of life events, the score of family affair in the patient group was higher than that in the control group( P<0.05) in childhood.In terms of upbringing, the scores of strictness (5.637±3.463) and punishment (6.275±4.565) in the patient group were higher than those ((4.341±3.092), (5.000±3.698)) in the control group in childhood( t=-2.703, -2.093, both P<0.05). 2.In the aspect of personality elements: (1) Among courage subscales, the scores of natural fear (7.686±3.441) and adaptability (15.000±5.321) in the patient group were higher than those((6.023±3.991), (12.841±6.070)) in the control group in childhood ( t=-3.085, -2.613, both P<0.05) .For all three stages, interpersonal fear scores in the patient group ((20.284±8.255), (22.804±7.458), (22.725±7.145))were all higher than those ((16.205±7.937), (19.841±6.319), (18.364±6.277))in the control group( t=-3.458, -2.929, -4.437, P<0.01). (2) Among interpersonal relationship, the dependence dimension scores were higher in the patient group (10.804±3.621) than those (8.830±4.850) in the control group during childhood( t=-3.205, P<0.01). (3) Among sex development, the scores of heterosexual communications (11.941±4.878), love concept (15.098±4.180) and sexual concept (8.892±2.988) were higher in the patient group than those ((9.125±5.040), (11.761±5.202), (6.943±3.288)) in the control group in adolescence(all P<0.01). (4) Among ego, the score of self-care dimension in the patient group (6.465±2.890) was higher than that in the control group(4.239±2.861) in childhood ( P<0.01). In the dimension of autonomy, the scores of the patient group ((10.772±2.694), (11.347±2.621)) were higher than those in the control group ((8.011±4.039), (9.818±2.693)) in childhood and adolescence (both P<0.01). (5) Among the way of thinking, the score of absolute thinking dimension in the patient group was higher than that in control group in childhood ( P<0.01). In the dimension of cautious, the scores of patient group were higher than those in the control group in childhood and adolescence (both P<0.01). (6)Among volition, the scores of decisive dimension in the patient group were higher than those in the control group in adolescence and youth (both P<0.01). In the dimension of consciousness, the score of patient group was higher than that in the control group in youth( P<0.01). In the dimension of insistence, the score of the patient group were higher than those in the control group in childhood and youth (both P<0.01). (7) Among worldviews, the scores of motivations, perspective of career and perspective of friendship in the patient group were higher than those in the control group in adolescence (all P<0.01). The score of value dimension in patient group was lower than that in the control group in the youth ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Patients with OCD have more strictness and punishment during their childhood in terms of upbringing.This leads to a lack of courage, poor interpersonal relationships, low self-care or autonomy, high attachment, absolutization of thinking and suppressing themself more in their childhood.In their adolescence and youth, their lack of courage, poor self-care or autonomy and the way of thinking cautious and stubborn will further aggravate and gradually show a more conservative sexual development and traditional world outlook.

Objective:
To explore the association between long-term changes in blood pressure (BP) levels and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
Methods:
A total of 5 752 participants, who participated baseline examination in 1992-1993 and re-examination in 2007, were followed up till December 31, 2013 according to the study protocol of the Chinese Multi-provincial Cohort Study. Participants were stratified by baseline BP and re-examination BP and cross-combined into 9 subgroups. The 20-year incidence of acute cardiovascular events, acute coronary heart disease (CHD) and acute stroke events were analyzed and association between disease incidence and 15-year changes in BP were determined using the competing risk regression model.
Results:
(1) There were 523 CVD events (170 CHD, 373 stroke) during the 20 years follow up. The number of participants with baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of <130/80 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), 130-139/80-89 mmHg, and hypertension were 2 892 (50.3%), 1 328 (23.1%) and 1 532 (26.6%), respectively. (2) Among participants with baseline SBP of 130-139 mmHg or DBP of 80-89 mmHg, 870 (65.5%) progressed to hypertension and 279 (21.0%) maintained at the same stratum over a 15-year follow up period. (3) After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, diabetes, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol at baseline, participants maintained SBP/DBP at 130-139/80-89 mmHg had a higher risk of developing acute cardiovascular events, CHD and stroke with the hazard ratios (

The pathogenesis of bipolar disorder(BD)is unknown,and objective biomarkers with clinical guidance are lacking.Extracellular vesicles(EV)are lipid bilayer-enclosed vesicles that carry cargo from originating cells,influencing the processes of recipient cells.They are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and reflecting the ongoing processes in the central nervous system.Compelling data indicates that EV could mediate BD pathophysiological processes such as neurocognitive impairment,neuroinflammatory diffusion,and metabolic dysfunction.Therefore,EV has the potential to become a reliable biomarker and therapy for BD,providing new ideas for revealing the pathogenesis and clinical diagnosis and treatment of BD.

【Objective】 To explore the correlation between CSAG1 expression and the prognosis and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC), and to predict the survival and tumor progression. 【Methods】 The gene expression profiles and clinical information of CSAG1 were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Based on the differential mRNA expression, GO annotation and KEGG pathway analysis were performed. The relationship between CSAG1 and tumor immune infiltration was assessed with Tumor Immunoassay Resource (Timer 2.0) database. The mRNA expression of CSAG1 in human RCCC specimens was validated with qRT-PCR. 【Results】 CSAG1 expression was significantly higher in RCCC tissues than in normal tissues (P<0.05). The qRT-PCR results revealed that the mRNA level of CSAG1 was consistent with that predicted by bioinformatic analysis. The KEGG analysis and GO annotation indicated high GSAG1 expression in RCCC was related to transmembrane transport, tricarboxylic acid cycle and lysosome. CSAG1 expression was positively related to the infiltration of pDC, aDC, CD8+ T cells, cytotoxic cells, TFH, TH1 cells, Tem, NK CD56dm cells, Treg and T cells, but negatively correlated with macrophage infiltration. 【Conclusion】 CSAG1 may be associated with poor prognosis of RCCC and become a potential immunotherapy target.
