Objective To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese Version of the Depressive Cognition Scale (DCS) among the older people.Methods The sample consisted of 570 old people,collected by a demographic questionnaire,the Chinese version of DCS,and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D),then all the data was analyzed by SPSS 21.0.Results The item-to-total correlation coefficients of DCS ranged from 0.65 to 0.84 (P<0.01),and the average coefficient was 0.77.The content validity index(CVI) was 0.88.The result of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was that one factor explained 59.72% of the total variances,and the concurrent validity between DCS and CES-D was positive related (r=0.24-0.82,P<0.01).Regarding CES-D as the gold standard,the sensitivity was 84.7% and the specificity was 90.7%.The inter-item correlation coefficients of DCS ranged from 0.40 to 0.73 (P<0.01);the Cronbach α was 0.82,and the retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient,ICC) was 0.92 (95%CI=0.86-0.95,P<0.01).Conclusion DCS is proved to be a reliable and valid instrument,and it can be used to assess the depressive cognition and screen the early depressive symptoms of Chinese old adults.

Objective To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the sense of coherence (SOC) scale (13-items) among the older people.Methods A random sample of 1 032 old adults was selected from community in Jinzhou,Shenyang,Dalian of Liaoning.A demographic questionnaire,the SOC-13 scale,the WHO-5 and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were used to collect the data.All the data was analyzed by SPSS 21.0 and AMOS17.0.Results The item-total correlation coefficients of SOC-13 ranged from 0.625 to 0.760 (P< 0.01).The result of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was that three factors explained 74.745% of the total variances,and the CFA confirmed the hypothesized three-factor model.SOC scale had an ideal criterion(x2/df =2.908,CFI =0.975,GFI =0.949,NFI =0.963,IFI=0.975,RMSEA=0.061).Criterion related validity test showed that the total score of SOC-13 was negatively correlated with CES-D(r=-0.55,P<0.01),and positively correlated with WHO-5 (r=0.73,P< 0.01).SOC-1 3 had a Cronbach's α of 0.916,the Guttman split-half coefficient was 0.828,and the retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient,ICC) was 0.872 (P<0.01).Conclusion SOC-13 is a reliable and valid instrument,which can be used to measure the lever of sense of coherence among Chinese old adults.

Objective To explore the community elderly depression effect on quality of life and provide the basis for the elderly mental health intervention. Methods Adopting stratified random sampling method, using the SF-12,CES-D and psychological capital questiennaire of elder to survey among 500 community elderly people and established the structural equation model. Results The age, degree of education, income situation, depression and the old psychological capital of the community elderly can be used to predict the quality of life, can explain 88.6%variance of life quality(P<0.05);depression on quality of life has a direct effect of-0.21(P < 0.05); depression through psychological capital indirect effect on quality of life for-0.64(P<0.05). Conclusions The elderly depression through psychological capital intermediary effect on the quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction( MBSR) on anxiety and depression in spouses of breast cancer patients and to analyze the mediating effect of caregiver burden for the training effects. Methods Randomized control trial was used in this research.100 spouses of breast cancer patients were recruited and they were randomized into experimental group or control group. 91 of them completed the study finally (45 in experimental group and 46 in control group). Participants in con-trol group received no intervention,while participants in experimental group received MBSR once a week for 8 weeks. All participants were assessed with the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview ( ZBI,measuring caregiver burden) ,Beck Depression Inventory( BDI,measuring depression level) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale( HAMA, measuring anxiety level) before and after intervention. Results After 8-week intervention,participants in experimental group got significantly lower total scores of ZBI,BDI and HAMA compared with pretest ((22.31 ±5.76) vs (25.98±6.00),(8.47±3.21) vs (11.87±3.51),(14.98±4.75) vs (17.93±4.65), P<0. 01), while there were no significant differences between posttest and pretest on any score in control group (P>0.05).Caregiver burden played mediating effect in MBSR for improving depression,and mediating effect was 56.6% of the total effect. Conclusion MBSR can effectively improve anxiety and depression with the spou-ses of breast cancer patients,and the caregiver burden is the intermediary variable in the effect of MBSR for improving depression.

Objective:To explore the characteristic pathological manifestations of non-HLA antibodies after kidney transplantation (KT) and examine the differences of MFT values of non-HLA antibodies in different pathological manifestations.Methods:The study was conducted on KT recipients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2021 to June 2023 with unexplained elevated serum creatinine. Patients undergoing pathological puncture and concurrent HLA antibody testing were included, focusing on those with DSA (MFI>4 000) and non-HLA antibody negativity. According to the detection results of non-HLA and HLA antibodies, they were assigned into two groups of non-HLA antibody positive (45 cases) and HLA-DSA positive (28 cases). Both non-HLA and HLA antibodies were detected by luminex single antigen microbeads, χ2, t or Mann-Whitney U nonparametric tests were utilized for examining the inter-group differences in pathological manifestations. The recipients with positive non-HLA antibodies were grouped according to the differential pathological features[microvascular inflammation group (22 cases) and non-microvascular inflammation group (23 cases), interstitial fibrosis group (39 cases) and non-interstitial fibrosis (9 cases) ]. MFI values of non-HLA antibodies were standardized and heat map was generated with R language ComplexHeatmap package. The differences of response values of non-HLA antibodies with different pathological manifestations were examined by rank-sum test. Results:The positive rates of microvascular inflammation were 48.9% (22/45) and 82.1% (23/28) in HLA-DSA positive and non-HLA antibody positive groups with statistical significance ( χ2=8.073, P=0.006). The positive rates of interstitial fibrosis in two groups were 80.8% (36/45) and 53.6% (15/28) and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.726, P=0.021). The relative levels of anti-arachnotoxin receptor 1 (Latrophilin 1, LPHN1), keratin 8 (KRT8), keratin 18 (KRT18) and Sjogren's syndrome antigen B (SSB) were higher in microvascular inflammation group than those in non-microvascular inflammation group. The differences were statistically significant [559.50 (262.00, 801.25) vs 285.00 (183.00, 460.00), P=0.024; 504.50 (369.5, 725.25) vs 317.00 (231.50, 458.00), P=0.014; 672.50 (454.50, 969.50) vs 399.00 (246.50, 772.50), P=0.030; 967.50 (482.00, 2 066.50) vs 399.00 (246.50, 772.50), P=0.033]. The relative levels of anti-cyclic citrullinate peptide (CCP), colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) and collagen Ⅳ antibody were higher in interstitial fibrosis group than those in non-interstitial fibrosis group with statistical significance [100.00 (79.88, 167.50) vs 64.50 (37.00, 89.00), P=0.016; 146.25 (93.38, 244.75) vs 87.00 (66.00, 105.00), P=0.041; 132.50 (106.38, 229.50) vs 95.00 (55.00, 125.00), P=0.037; 432.50 (280.75, 653.75) vs 208.00 (192.00, 301.00), P=0.028]. Conclusions:As compared with HLA-DSA, the characteristic pathological manifestations of non-HLA antibodies post-KT include a lower incidence of microvascular inflammation and a higher incidence of interstitial fibrosis. For non-HLA antibody response values of characteristic pathological manifestations, the expressions of different non-HLA antibodies vary statistically.
