Childhood adversity is a risk factor for developing depressive symptoms or suffering from depressive disorders across the life course. However， existing evidence has focused on the analysis of the association between childhood adversity and depression from a single theoretical perspective， and there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of its multiple action pathways. By systematically summarizing the cumulative risk model， sensitive-period model， recency model， risk chain model， and the stress sensitization， stress amplification， and stress inoculation hypotheses， as well as the emerging pubertal stress recalibration hypothesis， this article attempts to construct an integrated theoretical framework to elucidate the internal logical synergy among these models. Furthermore， by reviewing relevant empirical evidence， this article analyzes the applicability and limitations of different theoretical models in illustrating the underlying psychopathological mechanisms of depression. The current evidence suggests that the impact of childhood adversity on the risk of psychopathology may be driven by a complex dynamic process involving the interaction of exposure timing， cumulative load， response boundaries of biological systems， and modification by later environments. Future research should utilize longitudinal cohorts and multimodal data within a unified analytical framework to comprehensively examine the multiple pathways through which childhood adversity affects the risk of depression. This will provide a reference for precisely identifying high-risk populations， targeting "recalibration windows" represented by adolescence， developing focused intervention strategies， and ultimately blocking the cascading effects of early life adversity as early as possible. ［Funded by the "Pioneer" and "Leading Goose" R&D program of Zhejiang Province （number， 2024C03006）］

Objective To analyze the current situation of the knowledge-attitude-practice among noise-exposed workers at an airport apron. Methods A total of 494 noise-exposed workers from an airport apron were selected as the study subjects using the judgmental sampling method. A self-designed "Occupational Protection Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Questionnaire" was used to assess the current situation of knowledge-attitude-practice on occupational protection. Results Regarding the awareness of noise hazards among the study subjects, the awareness rates of noise-induced impairment on digestive function and reproductive system were the lowest (44.9% and 37.7%, respectively). The awareness rate of noise-induced negative emotions increased with length of service (P<0.01). Regarding the occupational protection knowledge for noise, the awareness rate of occupational noise-induced deafness was “incurable” was the lowest (39.1%). The support rate for five kinds of occupational protection attitudes for noise was generally >85.0%, while only 58.3% of the study subjects consistently or frequently wearing earplugs during work. The most common source of noise hazard and protection knowledge was pre-employment training (76.9%), followed by occupational disease prevention and control campaigns (76.1%). Conclusion Noise-exposed workers in this airport apron have incomplete awareness of non-auditory system hazards caused by noise, and the awareness of knowledge of some occupational protection is relatively low. Although their attitudes toward occupational protection are positive, many workers still fail to consistently wear personal protective equipment at work.

BACKGROUND: While emotional distress, encompassing anxiety and depression, has been associated with negative clinical outcomes, its impact across various clinical departments and general hospitals has been less explored. Previous studies with limited sample sizes have examined the effectiveness of specific treatments (e.g., antidepressants) rather than a systemic management strategy for outcome improvement in non-psychiatric inpatients. To enhance the understanding of the importance of addressing mental health care needs among non-psychiatric patients in general hospitals, this study retrospectively investigated the impacts of emotional distress and the effects of early detection and management of depression and anxiety on hospital length of stay (LOS) and rate of long LOS (LLOS, i.e., LOS >30 days) in a large sample of non-psychiatric inpatients. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 487,871 inpatients from 20 non-psychiatric departments of a general hospital. They were divided, according to whether they underwent a novel strategy to manage emotional distress which deployed the Huaxi Emotional Distress Index (HEI) for brief screening with grading psychological services (BS-GPS), into BS-GPS ( n = 178,883) and non-BS-GPS ( n = 308,988) cohorts. The LOS and rate of LLOS between the BS-GPS and non-BS-GPS cohorts and between subcohorts with and without clinically significant anxiety and/or depression (CSAD, i.e., HEI score ≥11 on admission to the hospital) in the BS-GPS cohort were compared using univariable analyses, multilevel analyses, and/or propensity score-matched analyses, respectively. RESULTS: The detection rate of CSAD in the BS-GPS cohort varied from 2.64% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.49%-2.81%) to 20.50% (95% CI: 19.43%-21.62%) across the 20 departments, with a average rate of 5.36%. Significant differences were observed in both the LOS and LLOS rates between the subcohorts with CSAD (12.7 days, 535/9590) and without CSAD (9.5 days, 3800/169,293) and between the BS-GPS (9.6 days, 4335/178,883) and non-BS-GPS (10.8 days, 11,483/308,988) cohorts. These differences remained significant after controlling for confounders using propensity score-matched comparisons. A multilevel analysis indicated that BS-GPS was negatively associated with both LOS and LLOS after controlling for sociodemographics and the departments of patient discharge and remained negatively associated with LLOS after controlling additionally for the year of patient discharge. CONCLUSION Emotional distress significantly prolonged the LOS and increased the LLOS of non-psychiatric inpatients across most departments and general hospitals. These impacts were moderated by the implementation of BS-GPS. Thus, BS-GPS has the potential as an effective, resource-saving strategy for enhancing mental health care and optimizing medical resources in general hospitals.

Background Non-optimal temperatures pose significant threats to public health. Analyzing the association between temperature exposure and the number of emergency cases of acute alcohol intoxication can provide evidence for optimizing emergency resource allocation and response strategies. Objective To analyze the overall impact and lag effects of non-optimal temperatures on the number of 120 emergency calls for acute alcohol intoxication in Wuxi, and to assess the attributable risk, in order to provide empirical evidence for formulating climate-adaptive public health strategies. Methods Call records of acute alcohol intoxication from Wuxi's 120 emergency service, concurrent air pollutant data, and meteorological data (including daily mean temperature) were collected from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020. Distributed lag nonlinear modeling was used for time-series analysis, with cross-basis functions to capture the nonlinear relationship and lag effects between temperature and emergency volume. Confounding factors such as long-term trends, humidity, pollutants [ultimately including ozone (O₃) and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5)], day of the week, and holidays were controlled. The maximum lag period was set to 14 days. Single-day lag and cumulative lag effects of extreme temperatures were analyzed, followed by sensitivity analysis. Effects were quantified using relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), and attributable fractions and numbers for different temperature ranges were calculated. Results A total of 10705 emergency cases of acute alcohol intoxication were included during the study period, with males accounting for 89.5% and individuals aged 18–50 years accounting for 83.4%. A non-linear "U-shaped" association was observed between daily mean temperature and the number of emergency calls, with an optimal temperature of 13.3 ℃. The effect of the extreme low temperature (1.88 ℃) was statistically significant from lag1 to lag3 after exposure (P<0.05), with the maximum effect at lag1 (RR=1.063, 95%CI: 1.002, 1.129). The extreme high temperature (32.3 ℃) showed an immediate effect, with maximum effect at lag0 (RR=1.374, 95%CI: 1.248, 1.512). The cumulative effect analysis showed that the risk associated with high temperature was the highest at lag0–3 (RR=2.000, 95%CI: 1.667, 2.399), while the risk associated with low temperature was the highest at lag0–14 (RR=1.462, 95%CI: 1.042, 2.051). The attribution analysis indicated that the mild heat (>24.7–30.8 ℃) and heat (>30.8–33.5 ℃) contributed the largest numbers of attributable cases, with 591 cases (95%CI: 56, 1032) and 190 cases (95%CI: 51, 309), respectively. The corresponding attributable fractions were 5.81% (95%CI: 0.80%, 9.94%) and 1.87% (95%CI: 0.49%, 2.96%), respectively. Conclusion Both extreme high and low temperatures significantly increase the number of 120 emergency calls for acute alcohol intoxication in Wuxi. High temperature exhibit an acute effect, while low temperature show a delayed effect. Mild heat have a significant impact on the emergency burden. It is recommended that emergency departments optimize resource allocation according to climatic characteristics and strengthen emergency responses during extreme weather to reduce alcohol-related health burden.

Objective To investigate the value of prone-position MRI of lumbar spine for diagnosing pediatric occult tethered cord syndrome(OTCS).Methods A total of 67 children with suspected tethered cord syndrome(TCS)and confirmed OTCS by surgery were prospectively enrolled as OTCS group,while 73 healthy subjects were recruited as control group.Supine-and prone-position lumbar MR examinations were performed in both groups.The position of filum terminale on prone axial T2WI and the presence or absence of"sunset sign"(i.e.filum terminale located within the dorsal 1/2 of spinal canal on prone axial T2WI)were observed,spinal cord conus mobility was calculated.The efficacy of"sunset sign"for diagnosing OTCS in children was calculated through comparison between groups.Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn,the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of spinal cord conus mobility.Results On prone-position axial T2WI,"sunset sign"was found in 58 cases(58/67,86.57％)but not in 9 cases(9/67,13.43％)in OTCS group,which was not even observed in control group.The sensitivity of"sunset sign"for diagnosing pediatric OTCS was 86.57％(58/67),with specificity of 100％(73/73),positive predictive value of 100％(58/58)and negative predictive value of 89.02％(73/82).The spinal cord conus mobility was(19.30±5.89)％in OTCS group and(31.71±6.58)％in control group,being statistically different between groups(t=-11.722,P＜0.001).The sensitivity,specificity and AUC of spinal cord conus mobility for diagnosing pediatric OTCS was 80.60％,90.41％and 0.920,respectively.Conclusion Prone-position MRI of lumbar spine could be used in diagnosing pediatric OTCS.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health crisis that requires innovative solutions. Emerging multidrug resistant (MDR) Salmonella typhimurium has raised concern for its effect on pathogenic infection and mortality in humans caused by enteric diseases. To combat these MDR Salmonella typhimurium pathogens, highly effective and broad-spectrum antibiotics such as flufenicol (FFC) need to be evaluated for their potent antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium. However, the low solubility and low oral bioavailability of flufenicol need to be addressed to better combat AMR. In this work, we develop a novel nano-formulation, flufenicol nano-micelles (FTPPM), which are based on d-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1,000 succinate (TPGS)/poloxamer 188 (P188), for the targeted treatment of biofilms formed by drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium in the intestine. Herein, FTPPM were prepared via a thin film hydration method. The preparation process for the mixed micelles is simple and convenient compared with other existing nanodrug delivery systems, which can further decrease production costs. The optimized FTPPM demonstrated outstanding stability and sustained release. An evaluation of the in vivo anti-drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium efficacy demonstrated that FTPPM showed a stronger efficacy (68.17 %) than did florfenicol-loaded TPGS polymer micelles (FTPM), flufenicol active pharmaceutical ingredients (FFC-API), and flufenicol commercially available medicine (FFC-CAM), and also exhibited outstanding biocompatibility. Notably, FTPPM also inhibited drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium from forming biofilms. More importantly, FTPPM effectively restored intestinal flora disorders induced by drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium in mice. In summary, FTPPM significantly improved the solubility and oral bioavailability of florfenicol, enhancing its efficacy against drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium both in vitro and in vivo. FTPPM represent a promising drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium treatment for curbing bacterial resistance via oral administration.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of compliance with new oral anticoagulants(NOACs)in elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation(NVAF)and its correlation with social support.Methods The clinical data of 126 patients with NVAF treated by NOACs in Lu 'an People's Hospital of Anhui Province from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected by convenient sampling method.General data of patients were collected.According to Morisky medication compliance scale,patients were divided into two groups:the good compliance group(n=74)and the poor compliance group(n=52).Social support was investigated by Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS).General data of patients were compared between the good compliance group and the poor compliance group.The relationship between medication compliance and social support was analyzed by Pearson correlation.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of patient medication compliance.Results There were statistically significant differences in educational level,the proportion of patients with anxiety and depression,CHA2DS2-VASc score,HAS-BLED score and SSRS score between the good compliance group and the poor compliance group(P＜0.05).The results of the correlation analysis showed that the medication compliance of patients was positively correlated with objective support(r=0.461),subjective support(r=0.432),support utilization(r=0.323)and SSRS score(r=0.596,P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that low educational level,accompanied by anxiety,low HAS-BLED and SSRS scores were risk factors for poor medication compliance in elderly NVAF patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Improving the social support level of elderly patients with NVAF is conducive to the formation of good medication compliance.

Objective:To investigate the level of urinary serine protease(Corin) in early diabetic kidney disease(DKD) and its correlation with clinical stage.Methods:One hundred and seventy-three patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) from two tertiary A hospitals in Henan, diagnosed between April 2023 and December 2023 were selected as the research group, and 120 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. Basic clinical information and laboratory data were collected, and urinary Corin level was detected. DM patients were classified into G1-G5 stages based on estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), and those in the early DKD stages(G1-G3) were further divided into A1-A3 subgroups based on urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(ACR). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to assess relationships between urinary Corin and other indicators, linear regression analysis identified factors influencing urinary Corin in early DKD patients, logistic regression analysis evaluated the risk factors for early DKD, and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis determined the diagnostic value of urinary Corin in early DKD. Results:Urinary Corin levels were significantly higher in early DKD patients compared to healthy controls, with levels increasing as ACR rose( P<0.05). Urinary Corin was positively associated with serum creatinine( r=0.570), urea( r=0.458), cystatin C( r=0.693), ACR( r=0.616), urinary transferrin( r=0.448), urinary α1 microglobulin( r=0.507), urinary n-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminase( r=0.388) and A subgroup( r=0.692) while was negatively correlated with eGFR( r=-0.647), albumin( r=-0.312)(all P<0.05). eGFR was the only independent factor affecting urinary Corin. After adjusting for confounding factors in logistic regression analysis, urinary Corin was still an independent influencing factor for early DKD. ROC curve analysis indicated that urinary Corin had a diagnostic AUC of 0.842(95% CI 0.791-0.892, P<0.001), with a cut-off value of 2 226.04 pg/mL, sensitivity of 0.712, and specificity of 0.858 for early DKD diagnosis. Conclusions:Urinary Corin was elevated in early DKD patients and correlated with clinical stage. Urinary Corin is an independent factor of early DKD, and a reliable predictor of early DKD diagnosis.
