BackgroundCurrently， the problem of depressed mood in college students is becoming more prominent. The experience of childhood maltreatment is a significant contributor to depression among college students. Although the association between the two has been confirmed， the specific psychosocial mechanisms underlying how childhood maltreatment affects college students' mental health remain insufficiently evidenced. ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and depression among college students， and to investigate the moderated effects of psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status， aiming to provide references for improving depressive symptoms in college students. MethodsOn 14 March 2024， a cluster sampling method was employed to recruit 751 college students from a university in Heilongjiang Province. Participants were assessed with Childhood Trauma Questionnaire （CTQ）， Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale （DERS）， Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC-10） and Family Socioeconomic Status Questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation between the scores of scales. Model 4 and model 7 in Process 4.2 were used to test the mediating effects of emotional regulation difficulties and the moderated effects of psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status. Results① A total of 712 （94.81%） valid questionnaires were collected. ② College students' CTQ score was positively correlated with DERS score and PHQ-9 score （r=0.296， 0.507， P<0.01）， and negatively correlated with CD-RISC-10 score and Family Socioeconomic Status Questionnaire score （r=-0.148， -0.229， P<0.01）. ③ The indirect effect value of difficulties in emotion regulation on the relationship between childhood maltreatment and depression was 0.091 （95% CI： 0.018~0.046）， accounting for 17.95% of the total effect. ④ The first half of the mediation model "childhood maltreatment → difficulties in emotion regulation → depression" （childhood maltreatment → difficulties in emotion regulation） was moderated by psychological resilience （β=-0.030， t=-6.147， 95% CI： -0.040~-0.020） and family socioeconomic status （β=-0.051， t=-3.929， 95% CI： -0.077~-0.026）. ConclusionChildhood maltreatment exerts both a direct effect on college students' depression and an indirect effect through emotion regulation difficulties. The childhood maltreatment → emotion regulation difficulties pathway in this mediation model is moderated by psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status. ［Funded by Qiqihar Medical University Graduate Student Innovation Fund Project （number， QYYCX2023-48）； Special Research Fund Project for Young Doctors of Qiqihar Academy of Medical Sciences （number， QMSI2021B-08）］

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of vericiguat in the treatment of heart failure （HF） by rapid health technology evaluation method， and provide reference for the selection and decision-making of clinical treatment plans. METHODS Chinese and foreign databases such as CNKI， PubMed and related health technology evaluation websites were searched by computer. Relevant researchers independently screened literature， extracted data， and comprehensively analyzed the results of the included literature based on literature quality evaluation. RESULTS A total of 17 pieces of literature were included， involving 12 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 5 pharmacoeconomic studies. The effectiveness analysis showed： for HF patients， compared with placebo， vericiguat （10 mg/d） significantly improved the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire （EQ-5D） index and decreased the rate of hospitalization due to HF （P＜0.05）. For heart failure with reduced ejection fraction （HFrEF） patients， vericiguat reduced the incidence of hospitalization due to HF compared with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor （SGLT2i）（P＜0.05）； compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor， vericiguat significantly reduced the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF（P＜0.05）. For HFrEF patients with chronic kidney disease， vericiguat had a tendency to reduce the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF compared with neurohormone inhibitors. Safety analysis showed： vericiguat did not increase drug-related adverse reactions compared to placebo （P＞0.05）. Economic analysis showed： domestic studies indicated that vericiguat had a higher incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. CONCLUSIONS Vericiguat has good safety and efficacy in the treatment of HF but does not possess an economic advantage in the Chinese population.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of tetramethylpyrazine(TMP)on cognitive function in mice with post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD).Methods The mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group and experimental group.Except for the normal group,the PTSD mouse model was established by single prolonged stress(SPS).The experimental group was intraperitoneally injected with 10 mg·kg-1 TMP,and the normal group and the model group were intraperitoneally injected with an equal amount of 0.9％NaCl.The Morris water maze,open field and elevated plus maze tests were used to evaluate the cognitive behavior of the mice.The apoptosis of neurons was detected by Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL).The expression of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule-1(Iba-1)protein was detected by immunofluorescence(ICC).The content of oxidative stress inflammatory factors was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results The escape latency of the normal group,model group,and TMP group were(56.50±9.89),(87.16±10.48)and(68.63±10.19)s,respectively;the corner residence time of the open field were(190.37±40.64),(260.39±40.54)and(218.63±38.27)s,respectively;the apoptosis rates were(18.28±2.35)％,(39.36±3.65)％and(30.74±3.58)％,respectively;the fluorescence intensities of Iba-1 were(8.01±2.23)％,(50.87±7.31)％and(7.49±1.41)％;malondialdehyde contents were(5.46±0.95),(12.98±2.06)and(8.31±1.28)nmol·mg-1,respectively;tumor necrosis factor-α contents were(53.59±9.91),(115.46±11.53)and(74.38±10.77)pg·mL-1,respectively.The above indexes in the normal group and the experimental group were statistically significant compared with the model group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion TMP can improve the cognitive function of PTSD mice,and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Objective To study the common basis and association between sickness behaviour and occurrence of classical symptoms of kidney yang deficiency of rats with adriamycin nephropathy.Methods The SD rats were given adriamycin by tail-vein injection for 2 times(4.0 and 3.5 mg·kg-1,one week apart)to construct the model of nephrotic syndrome with Chinese medicine symptom of kidney yang deficiency.After successful modeling,the model rats were randomly divided into adriamycin group(ADR group),corticosterone group(CORT group)and hydrocortisone group(HYD group),with 12 rats per group;another 12 normal rats were taken as normal group.In the HYD group,25 mg·kg-1·d-1 HYD was administered for 14 d to establish kidney yang deficiency model with simple hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex(HPA)axis inhibition.CORT group was adding 25 μg·mL-1 corticosterone to the water for 6 weeks,and the others drinking water supplied.The levels of urinary 17-hydroxy steroid were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Glucocorticoid receptor(GR)and nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB)protein expression levels in kidney and hypothalamus were detected by Western blotting.Results In the normal,ADR,CORT and HYD groups,the urinary 17-hydroxysteroid levels were(19.14±1.94),(10.07±1.62),(20.30±1.55)and(14.23±2.37)μg·L-1;the relative expression levels of GR protein in hypothalamic were 0.63±0.05,0.11±0.05,0.85±0.08 and 0.35±0.06;the relative expression levels of NF-κB protein in hypothalamic were 0.06±0.03,0.96±0.03,0.59±0.01 and 0.23±0.04;the relative expression levels of GR protein in kidney tissue were 0.94±0.06,0.06±0.02,0.40±0.02 and 0.09±0.08;the relative expression levels of NF-κB protein in kidney tissue were 0.07±0.05,0.81±0.12,0.72±0.07 and 0.49±0.08,respectively.Compared with the ADR and HYD groups,the above indexes in the normal group were statistically significant(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).And compared with the ADR group,the relative expression levels of NF-κB protein in renal tissue with CORT group were not statistically significant(P＞0.05),but the other indexes in CORT group were statistically significant(all P＜0.01).Conclusion HPA axis dysfunction with GR damaged and activated inflammatory levels are the common basis for the combination of typical symptoms of kidney yang deficiency and sickness behaviour which characterised by"deficiency and cold syndrome".

Objective:To assess the prognostic value of methylation of interferon regulatory factor 6 ( IRF6) gene promoter in patients diagnosed with Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). Methods:The primary lesions of fifty KIRC patients who were diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to January 2020 were collected. The expression of IRF6 protein was determined with an immunohistochemical method. The correlation between the level of IRF6 expression and survival and/or metastasis status was analyzed. The mRNA and protein levels of the IRF6 in KIRC and normal renal tissues were compared by using bioinformatic tools. The difference in the methylation rate of the IRF6 gene promoter between tumor and adjacent tissues was analyzed by searching the online databases. Statistical analysis was carried out for the methylation status of the IRF6 gene promoter region to select those negatively correlated with the overall survival (OS) among the patients. In vitro experiments were conducted with cell lines to verify the correlation between the status of promoter methylation and transcription level of the IRF6 gene. Results:The mRNA and protein levels of the IRF6 gene in KIRC tissues were significantly lower than those of the normal controls, and this was more prominent in patients who had died or developed metastasis. The extent of IRF6 gene promoter methylation in the KIRC tissues was much higher compared with that of the adjacent normal renal tissues. There was a significant negative correlation between the methylation of the IRF6 gene promoter and mRNA level of the IRF6 ( R= -0.52). The higher methylation degree in the IRF6 gene promoter regions cg12034118 and cg16030177, the shorter the OS and worse prognosis in the patients. Only twenty CpG sites in cg12034118 were confirmed to be highly methylated in KIRC cell lines. The transcription level of the IRF6 gene was upregulated in a time- and dose-dependent manner after the treatment with demethylation reagent 5-azadeoxycytidine. Conclusion:The methylation of IRF6 gene promoter in the renal tissues of KIRC patients is closely correlated with the OS. Cg12034118 may provide a promising biomarker for laboratory detection, and its high methylation rate has certain reference value for the prognosis.

Objective To explore the changes and predictive value of serum interleukin-1(IL-1),interleu-kin-12(IL-12)and interferon α(IFN-α)levels in early pregnancy in hepatitis B pregnant women with abnor-mal liver function.Methods A total of 100 hepatitis B pregnant women with normal liver function in early pregnancy in Shijiazhuang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2022 to May 2022 were selected,and were divided into normal liver function group(52 cases)and abnormal liver function group(48 cases)ac-cording to whether there was abnormal liver function in middle and late pregnancy,and another 50 healthy pregnant women of the same gestational week in the same period in Shijiazhuang Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as the control group.The general information,liver function indicators[alanine amin-otransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),glutamine transferase(GGT)],serum interleukin(IL)-1,IL-12,and interferon α(IFN-α)levels among the three groups were compared.The serum levels of IL-1,IL-12,IFN-α in pregnant women with different degrees of liver dysfunction in the liver dysfunction group were compared,and the relationship between the serum levels of IL-1,IL-12,IFN-α and the degree of liver dysfunction was analyzed,as well as the value of predicting liver dysfunction in pregnant women with hepatitis B in the middle and late pregnancy.Results The serum levels of ALT,AST,GGT,IL-1 and IL-12 in early pregnancy from high to low in three groups were liver dysfunction group,normal liver function group,and control group(P＜0.05),while the level of IFN-α in early pregnancy from low to high in three groups were liver dysfunction group,normal liver function group,and control group(P＜0.05).In the abnormal liver func-tion group,there were 12 cases with abnormal concentration values of 3 enzymes,16 cases with abnormal con-centration values of 2 enzymes,and 20 cases with abnormal concentration values of 1 enzyme.The levels of IL-1 and IL-12 from high to low were pregnant women with 3 abnormal values of enzyme,2 abnormal values of enzyme,and 1 abnormal value of enzyme(P＜0.05).The level of IFN-α from low to high were pregnant women with 3 abnormal values of enzyme,2 abnormal values of enzyme,and 1 abnormal value of enzyme(P＜0.05).The levels of serum IL-1 and IL-12 in the abnormal liver function group were positively correlated with the degree of liver function abnormality(r=0.771,0.793,P＜0.05),while the levels of IFN-α were negatively correlated with the degree of liver function abnormality(r=-0.755,P＜0.05).The area under the curve of serum IL-1,IL-12 and IFN-α in the early pregnancy for predicting abnormal liver function of hep-atitis B pregnant women in the middle and late pregnancy was 0.936(95％CI:0.869-0.976,P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum IL-1,IL-12 and IFN-α in early pregnancy of hepatitis B pregnant women are closely related to the degree of liver dysfunction in the middle and late pregnancy,and the combined detection of the three serum indicators has a high predictive value for predicting the liver dysfunction in the middle and late pregnancy of hepatitis B pregnant women.

The concept of'harmony'is the soul of traditional Chinese culture,which has a profound impact on the formation and development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).TCM is rooted in traditional Chinese culture,and the mode of thinking in TCM is in line with traditional Chinese culture.Based on the harmony culture,TCM has developed a unique view of health,disease and therapeutics.From the view of the harmony culture and by combining with years of clinical experience in treating dermatosis,Chinese medical master XUAN Guo-Wei has applied the concept of'harmony'in the TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment system in clinic,and has developed the academic thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins for the diagnosis and treatment of dermatosis.The thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins includes four aspects,namely harmonizing yin and yang,harmonizing healthy qi and pathogenic qi,harmonizing water and fire(i.e.,clod and hot),and harmonizing the administration of formula and drugs,aiming to remove toxins and expel pathogens and value the harmony.The thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins will beneficial to the comprehensive understanding of the unique health-disease-therapeutics concept in TCM,and will be helpful for managing the doctor-patient relationship,which is of enlightening significance to the modern clinical practice with TCM.

In accordance with the theory of'treating the skin diseases with the skin',skin-related Chinese medicinals are usually used for the treatment of skin diseases,which reflects the thinking mode of holistic syndrome differentiation and classification according to the manifestations in traditional Chinese medicine.With ying-yang theory as the principle of differentiation and treatment of diseases and based on the core pathogenesis of'yin-yang imbalance causing the manifestations of the skin'for the skin diseases,Chinese medical master XU AN Guo-Wei has used skin-related Chinese medicinals in the treatment of skin diseases and has given full play to their unique advantage by following the theory of'treating the skin diseases with the skin'and'balanced regulation of yin and yang'.In the clinical practice,allergic skin diseases were usually treated with Cicadae Periostracum plus Dictamni Cortex for dispelling wind and relieving itching,hypopigmentation related skin diseases were usually treated with Sojae Semen Nigrum skin plus Dictamni Cortex for dispelling wind and tonifying kidney,autoimmune skin diseases were usually treated with Moutan Cortex plus Lycii Cortex for nourishing yin,clearing heat and activating blood,and skin diseases associated with abnormal sebum secretion were usually treated with Mori Cortex plus Lycii Cortex for purging lung and nourishing kidney.Skin-related Chinese medicinals have the actions of expelling wind and promoting eruption of papules,tonifying kidney and nourishing yin.The medication method of'treating the skin diseases with the skin'will provide reference for the treatment of skin diseases.
