Objective:To investigate the efficacy of lightroom therapy on depressive mood and sleep problems in patients with depression, and the potential effects on physiological indices related to circadian rhythms.Methods:From October 2021 to July 2023, 54 patients with acute-phase depression hospitalized in the Mental Health Center of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University were recruited. The participants were randomly assigned to either medication combined with the bright light therapy group (bright light group, n=36) or medication combined with the dim light therapy group (dim light group, n=18). Both groups received light therapy for 2 weeks, at 10 000 lx in the bright light group and 300 lx in the dim light group. Both groups received 30 minutes of light therapy from 7:30-8:00 a.m daily over two weeks, followed up for 1 week post-treatment. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD 17) was used to assess patients′ depressive symptoms, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess patients′ sleep quality at baseline, at the end of every week. The 32-Item Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32) was used at the end of week 2 to assess the risk of manic switching after treatment. Daily measurements of body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure were taken before and after light therapy, along with recording adverse events related to the therapy. Paired t- tests were used to compare changes in physiological indicators before and after treatment, and repeated measures ANOVA was applied to compare clinical symptom changes between the two groups. Results:Thirty-one and fifteen patients completed this study in the bright light and dim light groups, respectively, with no statistically significant difference in dropout rates( P>0.05). There were significant interaction effects between the time and group for HAMD 17 and PSQI score( F=5.51,4.11, both P<0.05). Both groups showed significant reductions in HAMD 17 and PSQI scores at baseline, week 1, week 2, and week 3 ( P<0.001). In the bright light group, body temperature increased significantly post-treatment on days 1-4, day 7, and day 12 (all P<0.05). Heart rate elevated on day 5 ( P<0.05).Systolic blood pressure decreased on days 4, 5, 11, and 12 compared to the pre-treatment baseline(all P<0.05). In the dim light group, systolic blood pressure increased on day 11 ( P<0.05). Diastolic blood pressure in the bright light group decreased on days 1, 5, and 6( P<0.05). No serious adverse events, vision loss, ocular structural changes occurred in either group. No hypomania or mania episodes were observed. The incidence of adverse events did not differ significantly ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Medication combined with indoor bright light is more effective than the combination of dim light for depressive symptoms and sleep problems in patients with depression. Patients receiving bright light also may exhibit a higher body temperature, accelerated heart rate, and reduced blood pressure.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of downregulated programmed cell death 10 ( PDCD10) expression mediating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) resistance to temozolomide (TMZ). Methods:U87, LN229 and T98g cell lines were transfected with PDCD10 small interfering RNA or negative small interfering RNA. TMZ-resistant cell lines were constructed using 300 μmol/L TMZ (transfected T98g cell line) and 150 μmol/L TMZ (transfected U87 and LN229 cell lines), respectively: TMZ-resistant U87 cell line transfected with PDCD10 small interfering RNA (shPDCD10-U87-RG cells), TMZ-resistant U87 cell line transfected with negative small interfering RNA (EV-U87-RG cells), shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells, EV-T98g-RG cells, shPDCD10-LN229-RG cells and EV-LN229-RG cells. Flow cytometry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to detect the transfection efficiency of TMZ-resistant cell lines and PDCD10 expressions; MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to verify the drug-resistant ability of TMZ-resistant cell lines. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to detect the correlations of PDCD10 with key genes ( MSH6 and PMS2) in mismatch repair (MMR) system, and drug resistant mechanism was explored by detecting the cell cycle and neurosphere formation ability of drug-resistant cells. Results:(1) qRT-PCR showed that compared with that in EV-U87-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-U87-RG cells was statistically down-regulated by (32.85±1.14)% ( t=2.925, P=0.049); compared with that in EV-T98g-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells was significantly down-regulated by (57.17±1.81)% ( t=3.179, P=0.043); compared with that in EV-LN229-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-LN229-RG cells was significantly down-regulated by (33.68±1.34)% ( t=3.085, P=0.045). (2) MTT assay showed that compared with the EV-U87-RG cells, the shPDCD10-U87-RG cells had significantly increased viability ( P<0.05); compared with the EV-T98g-RG cells, the shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells had significantly increased viability ( P<0.05). Among the same kind of cells, the viability 3 d after wash-out was significantly increased compared with that at 72 h after TMZ treatment ( P<0.05). Colony formation assay showed that cell lines with down-regulated PDCD10 expression had higher tumorigenic ability. (3) Compared with EV-U87-RG cells and EV-T98g-RG cells, cells with down-regulated PDCD10 expression (shPDCD10-U87-RG cells and shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells) escaped from TMZ-induced G2/M arrest, resulting in TMZ resistance. (4) Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the PDCD10 expression was positively correlated with MSH6 and PMS2 expressions ( r=0.262, P<0.001; r=0.327, P<0.001); qRT-PCR indicated that downregulated PDCD10 expression caused decreased MSH6 and PMS2 expressions, which disrupted the MMR system. (5) Compared with that by EV-U87 cells, number of neurospheres formed by shPDCD10-U87 cells was significantly increased ( P<0.05); compared with that by EV-U87-RG cells, number of neurospheres formed by shPDCD10-U87-RG cells was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:PDCD10 affects the therapeutic sensitivity of GBM to TMZ by arresting cell cycle, disrupting MMR system, and increasing cell stemness.

[Objective] To explore the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou, and to investigate the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. [Methods] A cross-sectional study was conducted among 13 042 whole blood donors from 17 street blood donation sites of Guangzhou Blood Center from May to August 2020. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou. Ordinal multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. [Results] It was found that some of 13 042 blood donors had unhealthy habits, such as 6.8% (698/10 214,2 828 missing values) had severe tobacco dependence, 30.6% (3 997/13 042) had low exercise levels, 38.8%(5 056/13 042)had poor sleep quality, and 2.2% (271/12 159,883 missing values) had alcohol dependence. In addition, 2.8% (364/13 042) and 1.3% (172/13 042) of the donors may have moderate to severe depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. The results of the ordinal multinomial logistic regression model showed that exercise level was significantly negatively correlated with the degree of depression and anxiety among blood donors. With the decrease in exercise level, the possibility of depression and anxiety among donors increased significantly. BMI, household income, education level, marital status, donation frequency, alcohol consumption and smoking had no significant correlation with the mental health status of donors. [Conclusion] Improving the exercise habits of blood donors may help enhance their mental health level. It is recommended that blood station staff strengthen the content of exercise when providing health education to blood donors to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It also suggests that there may be a certain degree of under-diagnosis of mental health problems in the process of health consultation before blood donation, and conducting more comprehensive and effective mental health assessments for blood donors is recommended.

【Objective】 To compare the effects of 3 rehydration methods before blood donation on the prevention of on-site and delayed blood donation-related vasovagal response (VVR) . 【Methods】 From January to June 2021, 6 250 whole blood donors in 6 fixed blood donation sites signed informed consent and were divided into 198 clusters according to donor sites and dates, then they were randomly assigned to receive either oral rehydration salts (ORS), sugar water, or water group, and each drank 500 mL of ORS, sugar water or water within 20 minutes before blood donation. The researchers recorded the actual intervention accepted on site, and recorded the immediate VVR and related information. At rest after blood donation, donors submitted an electronic questionnaire containing socio-demographic information. At 48 hours after blood donation, the researchers called back every donor to record delayed VVR and related information. Logistic regression based on intention to treat (ITT) was used to analyze the difference of the incidence of VVR among the three groups, and the average treatment effect on treated (ATT) was calculated. PASS 2021was used to estimate the sample size and R (4.2.0) for statistical analysis. 【Results】 The cumulative incidence of blood donation-related VVR was 2.67% (2.29%-3.11%) among street whole blood donors under the 3 rehydration methods, in which, the incidence of immediate and delayed VVR was 1.02% (0.79%-1.31%) and 1.65% (1.36%-2.01%) respectively. ITT analysis found that ORS were more effective than water in reducing the incidence of delayed VVR【OR=0.59,95% CI[0.37,0.94]】.There was no significant difference in the incidence of immediate VVR between any two groups (P > 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the incidence of delayed VVR in the sugar water group compared with the water group (P > 0.05). There was a difference of -0.013 (【95% CI[-0.022, -0.004]】or -0.008【95% CI[-0.017, -0.000]】in the incidence of delayed VVR in the ORS group compared with water group or sugar water group, the difference was significant (P<0.05). The cumulative VVR of the three groups showed similar results to the delayed VVR. 【Conclusion】 Drinking ORS before blood donation is the most effective rehydration method to prevent delayed VVR. The next step is to establish the predictive model of delayed VVR to screen the susceptible population and provide them with ORS before blood donation, while other population can choose any liquid they like, thus achieving personalized blood donation-related VVR prevention and control.

【Objective】 To investigate the prevalence of depression in blood donors and analyze the related factors, so as to develop a rapid depression screening model for blood donors. 【Methods】 A total of 13 015 street whole blood donors in Guangzhou Blood Center during May to August, 2020 filled in an anonymous e-questionnaire, including social demography information and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 before donation. The cut-off value for detecting depression was 10. Logistic regression by SPSS 26.0 was used to analyze depression related factors. 2-level decision tree with 30/10 as the minimum number of cases in parent/child node, 10-fold cross validation was used to cut items of PHQ-9 to form the depression screening model. 【Results】 364 out of 13 015 (2.80%) street whole blood donors reported a score ≥ 10. Donors with 18-29 years old (P <0.05), unmarried (P<0.05), less than 50 000 RMB household income per year (P< 0.05) were more prone to depression. 81.96% donors in "<10 scores" group, while 3.85%donors in "≥ 10 scores" group were in two terminal nodes formed by Item-6, 2 and 4 of PHQ-9. After verification by the 10 fold crossover method, the estimated misclassification risk of the model was 1.7%. 【Conclusion】 The screening prevalence of depression based on PHQ-9 in Guangzhou blood donors was 2.8%(95% CI: 2.52%-3.09%) . Donation frequency was not related to depression. A rapid and efficient depression screening model for blood donors based on item-6, 2 and 4 of PHQ-9 was developed.
