Acute stress disorder (ASD) is a time-limited stress-related disorder triggered by severe traumatic events. Its core symptoms include intrusive memories, heightened arousal and reactivity, pathological avoidance, dissociation, and abnormalities in cognition and emotion. The pathophysiology of ASD involves multiple factors, including emotional-cognitive dysregulation, neural circuit remodeling, neurotransmitter imbalances, and immune-inflammatory responses. A proportion of patients may further progress to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In recent years, non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), have shown potential in modulating dysregulated neurotransmitter systems and reshaping neural circuits, offering new perspectives for the early treatment of ASD.

Objective To describe the distribution of medication costs of rheumatoid arthritis patients, and to analyze the factors that may affect the costs. Methods Data were obtained from a 12-month retrospective investigation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) across China. Department of Rheuma-tology of 18 hospitals were randomly selected. The data about their social conditions, clinical conditions, medications associated with RA such as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), non -steroidal anti -inflammtory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids, biologic agents were collected, and the costs of drugs were calculated. A non-parameter test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed. Results Six hundred and forty six patients were enrolled into the study, 435 completed data were chosen for analysis. The results demonstrated that the average costs per patient for medications in the past year was 8018 . The total medication costs were further subdivided into the following parts: DMARDs, (represented 20% of the total costs), biologic drugs (49%), NSAIDs (4%), herbal drugs (22%), steroids (1%). Data analysis showed that patients with higher education and higher incomes, with medical insurance,better health function status and outpatients paid more on DMARDs. Extra-articular manifestations increased the odds of the high-cost group (OR: 2.180, 95%CI: 1.335~3.558, P=0.002), while poor health function status increased the probability of paying high costs (OR: 1.373, 95%CI: 1.012~1.863, P=0.041). Conclusion High medication costs in RA do exist in RA patients. The costs of medication is associated with health function status and the presence of extra-articular manifestations.

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate and the related risk factors of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in rescue troops one year after Wenchuan earthquake as science proofs of mental interven-tion. Methods 1176 officers/soldiers from rescue troops were tested with the questionnaire composed by General state of health questionnaire, PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C), Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), simple coping style questionnaire (SCSQ) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Students't test and correlation analysis were used to study the risk factors. Results One year after Wenehuan earthquake,the prevalence rate of PTSD was 3.45%. Compared with the norms of Chinese serviceman, some evaluative indexes' scores, including somatization(1.43±0.57),exterior(12.50±3.79)/interior and positive response factors(2.05±0.71), were higher(P<0.05), at the same time some evaluative indexes' scores, such as anxiety,depression,nervousness and negative response factor, were obviously lower(P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed total score of PLC-C was positively correlated with somatization, anxiety, depression and negative response factors, separately (P<0.01),but negatively correlated with exterior/interior and positive response factors, separately (P<0.01).Conclusion The psychological status of the earthquake-rescuers is basically normal one year after Wenchuan earthquake. The younger soldiers with less education,who have nervous,introversive character,are the emphasis crowd.
