BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior has become a global public health concern affecting the physical and mental health of adolescents. The experiential avoidance model posits that childhood trauma contributes to NSSI behavior through the mediating pathway of emotional dysregulation. However, existing research has predominantly focused on isolated psychological or social factors, with limited attention to their interactive effects of emotional dysregulation and social anxiety, both of which fall within the psychosocial domain. ObjectiveTo examine the relationship between childhood trauma and NSSI among adolescents, and to analyze the mediating role of emotional dysregulation and the moderating role of social anxiety, so as to provide evidence for targeted interventions for NSSI behavior of adolescents. MethodsA total of 282 adolescent inpatients who consecutively admitted to the Department of Psychiatry of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from March to December 2025 and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,fifth edition(DSM-5)criteria for NSSI were enrolled as study participants. Participants were assessed using the general information questionnaire, the Adolescent Self-Harm Questionnaire, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine correlations among scale scores. model 4 and model 58 of the Process 4.1 were used to test the mediating effect of emotional dysregulation and the moderating effect of social anxiety, respectively. ResultsCTQ score was positively associated with score of the Adolescent Self-Injury Questionnaire (r=0.279, P<0.01). Emotional dysregulation significantly partially mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and NSSI behavior, with a mediating effect of 0.112 (95% CI: 0.043–0.208), accounting for 40.14% of the total effect. Social anxiety moderated the association between childhood trauma and emotional dysregulation,the effect value was 0.102 (95% CI: 0.008–0.196), as well as the relationship between emotional dysregulation and NSSI behavior, the effect value was 0.130 (95% CI: 0.033–0.226). ConclusionEmotional dysregulation may mediate the relationship between childhood trauma and NSSI behavior among hospitalized adolescents, while social anxiety moderates both the first and second paths of this mediating process.

Objective To investigate the effect of family supporting system on psychological emotion and quality life of leukemic children′s parents. Methods Fifty-eight parents of children with leukemia hosptalized from Juanary to December 2013 were set as control group, which received traditional education. Fifty-nine parents of children with leukemia hospitalized from Juanary to December 2014 were set as observation group which received family supporting system. The survey was done separately before intervention and 6 months after treatment by depression self rating scale (SDS), anxiety self-assessment scale (SAS) and SF-36 (the MOS 36 items short form health survey). Result There were statistical significances in the scores on SDS, SAS and SF-36 as compared those with the pre-intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion The leukemic children parents supporting system can effectively reduce the parents′depression and anxiety and improve their quality of life.

This paper was designed to investigate the effect of laminar shear stress on matrix metalloproteinase -9 (MMP-9) expression in rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and the possible signal transduction mechanism involved. Rat bone marrow MSCs were isolated and cultured, then, exposed to laminar shear stress at indicated strengths such as low (5dyne/cm2), medium (15 dyne/cm2) and high (30 dyne/cm2) via parallel plate flow chamber. RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression of MMP-9. The signaling inhibitors such as Wortmannin (PI3K specific inhabitor), SB202190 (p38MAPK specific inhabitor), and PD98059 (ERK1/2 specific inhabitor) were used to investigate the possible mechanical signal transduction pathway. The results showed: (1) The expression of MMP-9 was weak in static state, however, MMP-9 expression increased when MSCs were exposed to 15 dyne/cm2 shear stress for 2 hours, and MMP-9 expression increased with the extension of stimulating time, and it reached the peak at 24 h; (2) MSCs were stimulated by shear stress for 2 hours at different strengths (5 dyne/cm2, 15 dyne/cm2, 30 dyne/cm2), and under all these conditions, the expression of MMP-9 increased, and reached the peak at 15 dyne/cm2; (3) After MSCs were pretreated by three kinds of signal pathway inhibitors, the expression of MMP-9 did not change obviously in Wortmannin group and PD98059 group, but it was significantly inhibited in SB202190 group. This study demonstrated that shear stress could induce the expression of MMP-9 in rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells; the amount of MMP-9 expression was closely related to stimulating time and the strengths of shear stress; and p38MAPK signal pathway played a critical role during the process.
