Objective To explore the bi-directional dynamic associations of bullying perpetration and victimisation with psychopathological symptoms in children and adolescents.Methods The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development(ABCD)public dataset was used.Three dimensions of bullying perpetration and victimisation and child-adolescent psychopathological symptoms:attention,externalisation and internalisation were collected from 8413 child-adolescents using the peer experiences questionnaire(EPQ)and the brief problem monitoring(BPM)questionnaire,respectively.Bidirectional dynamic associations between bullying and child-adolescent psychopathological symptoms were analysed using cross-lagged networks.Results Bullying implementation to externalising problems was a significant cross-lagged edge(OR=2.36);impulsivity was both the strongest node of out-expected influence(OEI=5.21)and bridge-expected influence(BEI=4.35),and the strongest node of in-expected influence(IEI)was threat of violence(IEI=5.61).Conclusion There is an interaction between bullying and child-adolescent pathology symptoms.Bullying perpetration exacerbates subsequent externalising problems,and impulsivity is the most likely psychopathological symptom to influence both bullying perpetration and externalising internalising problems and it is also the bridging symptom connecting the two.

BackgroundGraduate students frequently face life events， many of which may adversely affect their mental well-being. However， the interaction between life events and the development of depression， anxiety， and somatic symptoms remains unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between life events and the development of depressive， anxiety and somatic symptoms in graduate students， thereby informing prevention strategies for these conditions. MethodsA sample of 6 722 newly enrolled graduate students at a comprehensive university in Southwest China from September to November 2018 was selected. The assessment was conducted using the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist （ASLEC）， the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale-7 item （GAD-7）， the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， and the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 （PHQ-15）. Network analysis was implemented by using the bootnet and qgraph packages in the R software （version 4.2.3）， with centrality indices calculated to identify core and bridge symptoms within the network. ResultsThe study encompassed a total of 6 171 graduate students， representing 91.80% of the target population. The prevalence rates of anxiety， depressive， and somatic symptoms among graduate students were 12.59% （777/6 171）， 16.63% （1 026/6 171）， and 27.66% （1 707/6 171）， respectively. Network analysis revealed that 'academic stress' was the core symptom with the highest strength and expected influence （both values=1.207）， while 'feeling down， depressed， or hopeless' was the bridge symptom with the highest bridge strength and bridge expected influence （both values=0.454）. There was no significant difference in global network strength and edge weight between women and men （P>0.05）. ConclusionAcademic stress， emerging as the core symptom， assumes a dominant position within the symptom network and exhibits strong interactions with other negative affective states. There was no gender difference in the network structure.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of serum inflammatory factors in multidrug-re-sistant pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods A total of 151 newly treated pulmonary tuberculosis patients admit-ted to Quzhou Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University from February 2021 to February 2023 were enrolled for standardized treatment.Based on whether multidrug resistance developed after treatment,patients were divided into multidrug-resistant group and non-multidrug-resistant group.Pretreatment serum levels of inflammatory factors were measured and compared between groups,including hypersensitive C-reactive pro-tein(hs-CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),IL-1α,IL-1β,IL-1 receptor antagonist(IL-1RA),IL-2,IL-4,IL-5,IL-6,IL-8,IL-9,IL-10,IL-12,IL-13,IL-15,IL-17,IL-18,IL-22,IL-35,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),TNF-γ,and CD40 ligand(CD40L).Logistic regression identified influencing factors for multidrug-resistant pulmonary tu-berculosis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves evaluated the predictive value of these indicators.Results The incidence of multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis was 21.85%(33/151).The levels of se-rum inflammatory factors in the drug-resistant group were higher than those in the non-drug-resistant group before treatment(P<0.05).History of alcohol consumption,presence of cavities,severe illness,adherence to treatment,and pre-treatment serum hs-CRP,PCT,IL-6,IL-18,TNF-α levels were all influencing factors for multidrug resistance in pulmonary tuberculosis patients(P<0.05).The sensitivity and area under curve(AUC)of the combined prediction of serum hs-CRP,PCT,IL-6,IL-18,TNF-α levels before treatment for multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis were higher than those of individual predictions.Conclusion The levels of serum inflammatory factors are related to multidrug resistance in pulmonary tuberculosis,and the combina-tion of serum hs-CRP,PCT,IL-6,IL-18,TNF-α can predict multidrug resistance in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective:To explore the impulsivity characteristics of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)comorbid with borderline personality disorder(BPD)and the mediating role of emotion regula-tion strategies.Methods:A total of 96 patients with ADHD meeting the diagnostic criteria of the American Diagnos-tic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ)were enrolled,48 of whom had comorbid BPD.Impulsivity was assessed with the Barratt Impulse Scale(BIS)and the impulse control difficulty dimensions of Emotional Regulation Difficulty Scale(DERS).Emotion regulation strategies were evaluated with the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ).Results:No significant differences were found between the ADHD with and with-out BPD group in cognitive impulsivity,motor impulsivity,or non-planning impulsivity as assessed with the BIS(Ps＞0.05).However,the ADHD with BPD group showed higher scores on the DERS impulse control difficulty subscale(P＜0.001)and less frequent use of cognitive reappraisal strategies(P＜0.001).Cognitive reappraisal partially mediated the relationship between ADHD with BPD and impulse control difficulties,with an effect size of 25.9％.Conclusion:ADHD patients comorbid with BPD exhibit heightened emotional impulsivity,which might be partially mediated by reduced use of cognitive reappraisal.

Objective:To establish a high performance liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous determination of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) and diethyl oxalate (DEO) in workplace air.Methods:From January 2022 to January 2023, air samples were collected by silica gel tubes, desorbed by acetonitrile, separated by C18 chromatographic column, detected by photo-array detector, and retention time was used to characterize and peak area was used to quantify at 210 nm wavelength.Results:The linear relationships of DMO and DEO were good, r>0.999. The detection limits of DMO and DEO were 0.39 and 0.52 μg/ml, respectively. The quantitative limit was 1.28 μg/ml for DMO and 1.72 μg/ml for DEO. Average desorption efficiency for DMO was 82.40%-92.72%, and DEO was 94.13%-97.69%. The intra-assay precision of DMO was 1.87%-6.18%, and DEO was 2.25%-3.31%. Inter-assay precision of DMO was 3.29%-5.73%, and DEO was 1.38%-2.94%. Average sampling efficiencies were 100% for both DMO and DEO. Breakthrough capacity of DMO was 37.61 mg (200 mg solid adsorbent), DEO was >28.11 mg (200 mg solid adsorbent). Samples should be stored at 4 ℃ for at least 7 days. Conclusion:This method is easy to operate and has strong practicability. All indicators meet the requirements of the specification, and it is suitable for the simultaneous determination of DMO and DEO in the workplace air.

Background::Heterotaxy (HTX) is a thoracoabdominal organ anomaly syndrome and commonly accompanied by congenital heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to analyze rare copy number variations (CNVs) in a HTX/CHD cohort and to examine the potential mechanisms contributing to HTX/CHD.Methods::Chromosome microarray analysis was used to identify rare CNVs in a cohort of 120 unrelated HTX/CHD patients, and available samples from parents were used to confirm the inheritance pattern. Potential candidate genes in CNVs region were prioritized via the DECIPHER database, and PNPLA4 was identified as the leading candidate gene. To validate, we generated PNPLA4-overexpressing human induced pluripotent stem cell lines as well as pnpla4-overexpressing zebrafish model, followed by a series of transcriptomic, biochemical and cellular analyses. Results::Seventeen rare CNVs were identified in 15 of the 120 HTX/CHD patients (12.5%). Xp22.31 duplication was one of the inherited CNVs identified in this HTX/CHD cohort, and PNPLA4 in the Xp22.31 was a candidate gene associated with HTX/CHD. PNPLA4 is expressed in the lateral plate mesoderm, which is known to be critical for left/right embryonic patterning as well as cardiomyocyte differentiation, and in the neural crest cell lineage. Through a series of in vivo and in vitro analyses at the molecular and cellular levels, we revealed that the biological function of PNPLA4 is importantly involved in the primary cilia formation and function via its regulation of energy metabolism and mitochondria-mediated ATP production. Conclusions::Our findings demonstrated a significant association between CNVs and HTX/CHD. Our data strongly suggested that an increased genetic dose of PNPLA4 due to Xp22.31 duplication is a disease-causing risk factor for HTX/CHD.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of polydatin （PD） on cell proliferation， migration， invasion and tumor growth of acute myeloid leukemia （AML）. METHODS Human AML cell KG-1 were divided into normal group， PD low-， medium- and high-concentration groups （10， 30， 60 μmol/L PD）， SQ22536 group [cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） inhibitor， 100 μmol/L]， high concentration of PD+SQ22536 group （60 μmol/L PD+100 μmol/L SQ22536）. The effects of PD on cell activity， apoptotic rate， invasion and migration ability， cAMP level， the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） related proteins and protein kinase A （PKA） were investigated. Using BALB/c nude mice as subjects， a transplanted tumor model of AML nude mice was induced by subcutaneous inoculation of KG-1 cell suspension and then divided into control group， PD group， SQ22536 group and PD+SQ22536 group （with 6 mice in each group）. The effects of PD on tumor volume and mass were measured. RESULTS Compared with the normal group or control group， the cell viabilities， the number of migrating cells， the number of invasive cells， the relative expressions of vimentin and Snail as well as the tumor volume and mass were decreased significantly in PD groups， while the apoptotic rates， cAMP levels， the relative expressions of E-cadherin and PKA were significantly increased， with a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. SQ22536 had opposite effects on cells and nude mice compared to PD， and could significantly reverse the anti-tumor activity of PD （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS PD may inhibit the proliferation， migration， invasion and EMT process of KG-1 cells， induce apoptosis， and inhibit tumor growth， by activating the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway， thereby exerting anti-AML effects.
