Objective:
To investigate the level of mental heath literacy and influencing factors among grassroots mental heath workers in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into relevant intervention measurements.
Methods:
Full-time (part-time) grassroots mental heath workers were sampled from grassroots healthcare institution (community health service centers and township health institutes) in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Participants' demographics and achievements of the target for mental heath literacy were collected through self-designed questionnaires and the Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire, and factors affecting the achievements of the target for mental heath literacy were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 3 382 respondents were recovered, including 771 males (22.80%) and 2 611 females (77.20%), and had a mean age of (35.59±9.21) years. There were 491 respondents that met the target of the mental health literacy (14.52%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that grassroots mental heath workers who were Han Ethnicity (OR=2.735, 95%CI: 2.166-3.454), had high levels of education (college, OR=1.722, 95%CI: 1.299-2.283; bachelor degree and above, OR=2.681, 95%CI: 1.966-3.656), worked at community health service centers (OR=1.435, 95%CI: 1.142-1.803), physician (OR=1.877, 95%CI: 1.239-2.843) and engaged in mental health prevention and treatment for 2 to <5 years (OR=1.388, 95%CI: 1.059-1.818) were more likely to meet the target of the mental health literacy.
Conclusion
The proportion of achieving the target for mental health literacy is low among grassroots mental health care workers in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and ethnicity, educational level, organization category, occupation and service length of mental health prevention and treatment are the influencing factors.

Objective To estimate the activity of the phosphatidylinositol3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway in peripheral blood T cells from patients with atopic dermatitis (AD),and to investigate its clinical significance.Methods T cells were isolated by using the Rosettsep T cell purification kit from the peripheral blood of 38 patients with AD and 38 healthy human controls,and classified into several groups to be treated with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody,anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody,and LY294002 (an inhibitor of PI3K) respectively.The activity of PI3K signaling pathway in T cells was estimated by immunoprecipitation and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Western blot was performed to measure the expressions of total Akt and phosphorylated Akt in T cells,methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay to examine the proliferation of T cells,and ELISA to determine the levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-10.Results The activity of PI3K and Akt was significantly higher in freshly isolated patient-derived T cells than in control-derived T cells (both P < 0.05).However,the difference in the activity of PI3K and Akt between patient-derived and control-derived T cells disappeared (both P > 0.05) after 24-hour in vitro culture.The activity of PI3K and Akt in control-derived T cells was significantly increased after 24-hour incubation with sera from the patients with AD (both P < 0.05).In addition,compared with patient-derived T cells treated with patients' sera or anti-CD3/CD28 monoclonal antibody alone,those treated with the combination of LY294002 and patients' sera or anti-CD3/CD28 monoclonal antibody showed a significant decrease in the proliferative activity (63% ± 11% vs.123% ± 25%,125% ± 22% vs.195% ± 28%,both P< 0.05),supematant levels of IL-6 ((168 ± 33) vs.(265 ± 46) ng/L,(431 ± 64) vs.(823 ± 128) ng/L,both P< 0.05) and IL-10 ((56 ± 14) vs.(98 ± 25) ng/L,(120 ± 21) vs.(213 ± 35) ng/L,both P< 0.05).Eczema area and severity index (EASI) was unassociated with the activity of PI3K or Akt in fresh T cells from patients with AD (both P > 0.05).Conclusions The PI3K signaling pathway is abnormally activated in peripheral blood T cells from patients with AD,which is associated with the proliferation of,as well as secretion of cytokines by,T cells,suggesting that there exist serum factors activating this pathway in peripheral blood of patients with AD.

Objective To evaluate changes of Rho kinase (ROK)activity in peripheral blood T lymphocytes from patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), and to analyze their clinical significance. Methods Eight milliliters of heparin-anticoagulated blood samples were collected from 60 patients with AD and 60 healthy human controls followed by separation of T lymphocytes and sera from these blood samples as well as culture of isolated T lymphocytes with 10% fetal bovine serum for 24 hours. Both patient- and control-derived T lymphocytes were classified into two groups to be cultured with patient- or control-derived sera. In addition, some patient-derived T lymphocytes were classified into 4 groups:Y27632 group treated with the Rho kinase-specific inhibitor Y2763, CD3/CD28 group treated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies, Y27632 + CD3/CD28 group treated with Y27632 and anti-CD3/anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies, and control group treated with patient-derived sera. Subsequently, Western-blot analysis was performed to evaluate ROK activity in cells, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay to evaluate proliferative activity of T lymphocytes, and ELISA to measure interleukin 6 (IL-6)and IL-10 levels in supernatants of T lymphocytes. Results ROK activity was significantly lower in fresh T lymphocytes from patients than in those from healthy controls (2.47% ± 0.89% vs. 0.65% ± 0.35%, t =2.729, P < 0.05). After 24-hour culture with 10% fetal bovine serum in vitro, ROK activity was significantly decreased in patient-derived T lymphocytes compared with those before culture (0.70% ± 0.38% vs. 2.47% ± 0.89%, t = 2.658, P <0.05), but no significant difference was observed between patient- and control-derived T lymphocytes(0.70% ± 0.38% vs. 0.63% ± 0.32%, t = 1.010, P > 0.05). Compared with T lymphocytes cultured with control-derived sera, those cultured with patient-derived sera showed significantly increased ROK activity (F = 8.22, P < 0.001). Concretely speaking, ROK activity was significantly higher in patient-derived T lymphocytes cultured with patient-derived sera than in those cultured with control-derived sera (2.41% ± 0.87% vs. 0.76% ± 0.41%, P < 0.05), and higher in control-derived T lymphocytes cultured with patient-derived sera than in those cultured with control-derived sera(2.17% ± 0.85% vs. 0.64% ± 0.33%, P< 0.05)at 24 hours. Y27632 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of as well as secretion of IL-6 (F = 18.68, 22.95, respectively, both P < 0.001)by patient-derived T lymphocytes, but had insignificant effects on secretion of IL-10. The cellular proliferative activity and IL-6 supernatant level were significantly lower in the Y27632 group than in the control group, and lower in the Y27632 + CD3/CD28 group than in the CD3/CD28 group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Aberrant activation of ROK exists in T lymphocytes from patients with AD, which may play a certain role in the pathogenesis of AD.

Objective To evaluate regulatory effects of miRNA-146a on peripheral blood CD4 + T lymphocytes from patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and to investigate the role of miRNA-146a in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris. Methods Totally, 30 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 30 healthy human controls were enrolled into this study. Venous blood samples were obtained from these subjects, and CD4 + T lymphocytes were isolated from these samples by using magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS). Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR)was performed to measure the expression of miRNA-146a in peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocytes, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)to determine plasma levels of interferon-γ(IFN-γ)and interleukin 4(IL-4). Some CD4+ T lymphocytes were divided into 3 groups to be transfected with 50 nmol/L negative control miRNA (control group), miRNA-146a mimics(miRNA-146a group)or miRNA-146a inhibitor (miRNA-146a inhibitor group). After 24-hour additional culture, flow cytometry was conducted to determine the number of Th1 and Th2 cells, Western-blot analysis and RT-PCR were performed to measure the protein and mRNA expressions of IFN-γ receptor α (IFN-γRα), T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet)and GATA-binding protein-3 (GATA-3)respectively, and ELISA was carried out to determine the levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 in supernatants of CD4 + T lymphocytes. Results Compared with the healthy control group, the patient group showed significantly increased miRNA-146a expression in peripheral blood CD4 + T lymphocytes (243.81% ± 94.32% vs. 105.74% ± 22.93%, t = 6.653, P < 0.01)and plasma IFN-γ level (27.69 ± 7.64 ng/L vs. 9.75 ± 2.81 ng/L, t = 4.237, P <0.01). Moreover, miRNA-146a expression was positively correlated with plasma IFN-γ level in the patients(r = 0.837, P <0.01). After 24-hour culture in vitro, there was a significant increase in the number of Th1 cells, protein and mRNA expressions of T-bet, and supernatant level of IFN-γ, but a significant decrease in the protein expression of IFN-γRα in the miRNA-146a group compared with the control group (all P < 0.01). However, no significant differences were observed in the number of Th2 cells, mRNA or protein expressions of GATA-3, or supernatant level of IL-4 among the control group,miRNA-146a group and miRNA-146a inhibitor group (all P > 0.05). Conclusion miRNA-146a may play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris by participating in the regulation of peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocytes via affecting Th1 cell differentiation and function.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of Epstein-Barr virus-related diseases in adults.Methods:The clinical data of 59 patients with Epstein-Barr virus-related diseases in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai from January 2017 to August 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical manifestations of patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM), chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) and lymphoma in patients were compared. Patients were divided into acute course group (IM) and chronic course group (CAEBV+ lymphoma), and the results of labratory indications (blood rontine, liver function, imflammatory indications, Epstein-Barr virus DNA, Epstein-Barr virus antibody and T lymphocyte) were compared between two groups. Statistical analysis was performed by Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test. Results:Among the 59 patients, 23 cases (39.0%) were diagnosed with IM, 23 cases (39.0%) were lymphoma and 13 cases (22.0%) were CAEBV. The clinical manifestations of patients with Epstein-Barr virus-related diseases were fever (57/59, 96.6%), lymphadenopathy (37/59, 62.7%) and splenomegaly (36/59, 61.0%). There were 17 patients in the chronic course group experienced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The white blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels and platelet counts of patients in the chronic course group (4.07(1.94, 8.35)×10 9/L, 89.5(74.5, 108.0) g/L and 100(37, 161)×10 9/L, respectively) were all lower than those in the acute course group (9.91(6.75, 17.38)×10 9/L, 132.5(118.2, 152.0) g/L and 197(129, 233)×10 9/L, respectively), with statistically significant differences ( U=3.69, 5.22 and 3.61, respectively, all P<0.01). The levels of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and serum ferritin in the chronic course group (0.45(0.15, 1.13) μg/L, 47.75(17.57, 84.67) mg/L and 2 000(682, 2 002) μg/L, respectively) were all higher than those in the acute course group (0.12(0.07, 0.28) μg/L, 6.39(3.13, 11.38) mg/L and 482(159, 1 271) μg/L, respectively), with statistically significant differences ( U=-2.95, -3.77 and -4.16, respectively, all P<0.01). The counts of CD4 + T lymphocytes, CD8 + T lymphocytes, CD19 + B lymphocytes and natural killer cells in the chronic course group (259.15(101.98, 509.26), 214.69(119.31, 529.47), 46.14(4.44, 135.87) and 81.09(41.53, 118.46)/μL, respectively) were all lower than those in the acute course group (738.88(592.20, 893.94), 1 609.17(920.88, 3 952.34), 144.52(83.65, 215.14) and 309.82(123.78, 590.68)/μL, respectively), with statistically significant differences ( U=3.66, 3.80, 2.90 and 3.40, respectively, all P<0.01), while the CD4 + /CD8 + T lymphocytes ratio in the chronic course group was higher (0.90(0.60, 1.70) vs 0.45(0.10, 1.28))( U=-2.29, P=0.02). Twenty-three patients with IM were all cured, while 10 patients with lymphoma died and 13 received chemotherapy. Seven patients with CAEBV died and six improved. Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of Epstein-Barr virus-related diseases in adults are fever, lymphadenectasis, splenomegaly.Chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection may be associated with HLH. The prognosis of adults with acute Epstein-Barr virus infection is good, while that of long-term chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection is poor.
