Objective:
To explore the mediating effect of parental hostile attribution bias on depression and anxiety between parents and children, so as to provide the reference for the promotion of children's mental health.
Methods:
Students of grades 2-6 in two public primary schools in Linping District, Hangzhou City and their parents were investigated using stratified sampling method in November 2022. Emotions of children were surveyed using Depression Self-Rating Scale for Child (DSRSC) and Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), while emotions and hostile attribution bias of parents were surveyed using Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Social Cognitive Screening Questionnaire (SCSQ). Mediating effect of parental hostile attribution bias on depression and anxiety between parents and children was analyzed using a structural equation model.
Results:
Totally 300 questionnaires were allocated, and 263 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 87.67%. There were 137 boys (52.09%), and 126 girls (47.91%), with a mean age of (9.95±1.44) years. There were 69 fathers and 194 mothers investigated. The prevalence of depression among parents was 27.00%, the prevalence of anxiety among parents was 4.18%, and the median score of hostile attribution bias was 1.00 (interquartile range, 2.00). The prevalence of depression among children was 11.03%, and the prevalence of anxiety among children was 29.66%. Parents' depression and anxiety affected children's depression and anxiety directly (effect value=0.270, 95%CI: 0.131-0.436), and also indirectly affected children's depression and anxiety by increasing their hostile attribution bias (effect value=0.028, 95%CI: 0.004-0.082), with the mediating effect contributed 9.40% of the total effect.
Conclusion
Parents' depression and anxiety affect children's depression and anxiety directly or indirectly through hostile attribution bias.

The course of disease is prolonged and the prevalence is high. The successful establishment of animal model combining disease and syndrome is the premise of exploring the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) effect and the foundation of the development of new preparations. At the same time, mastering the complex relationship network among disease, syndrome and prescription is the prerequisite of effective treatment. When the same syndrome occurs between different diseases, the concept of "treating different diseases with the same treatment" in TCM suggests that methods can be cross-referenced for the shortage of some syndrome models. TCM intervention of digestive diseases has the characteristics of multi-path, multi-target, multi-dimension and multi-level. Therefore, this article through the literature review, summarizes the reflux esophagitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and functional dyspepsia is a common disease such as the combined operation method of the model and the intervention mechanism of TCM, so as to diseases of the digestive system of different syndrome types provides the theory basis for the objective of research, and the basic research of TCM prescription and achievements provide methodological guidance.
