BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders exhibit abnormalities in perceptual processing. Previous perceptual studies are mainly based on asking participants to fill in a questionnaire, and little research has been undertaken on objective behavior in patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders. ObjectiveTo explore the behavioral changes in vibrotactile sense among patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders, so as to enrich relevant findings in objective behavioral research. MethodsFrom March 2021 to September 2023, 33 patients with schizophrenia and 31 patients with depressive disorders in the outpatient and inpatient departments of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria were enrolled. And another 34 healthy controls were concurrently recruited at Beihang University and Beijing Huilongguan Hospital. Patients with schizophrenia were assessed using Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), and patients with depressive disorders were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17). The vibrotactile sensitivity of the left hand in all participants was tested in a delay match-to-sample procedure, and the correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task was compared among the three groups. ResultsCompared with healthy controls, a reduction was found in the correct rates at index finger, middle finger and ring finger in patients with schizophrenia (P<0.01), the average correct rate at five fingers in patients with schizophrenia (P=0.001), and the correct rate at thumb in patients with depressive disorders (P=0.026). No statistical difference was reported in correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task between patients with depression disorders and schizophrenia (P>0.05). The average correct rate of vibrotactile sense in schizophrenia group was not significantly correlated with the duration of disease, age of onset, chlorpromazine equivalent doses and PANSS score (r=0.058、0.045、0.114、-0.194, P>0.05). The average correct rate in depressive group was negatively correlated with age of onset (r=-0.415, P=0.020), but not significantly correlated with the duration of disease and HAMD-17 score (r=-0.044, 0.142, P>0.05). ConclusionPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders have impaired vibrotactile sense. The vibrotactile sense is impaired in index, middle and ring fingers among patients with schizophrenia, and in thumbs of patients with depressive disorders. Moreover, the impairment in patients with depressive disorders may be related to the age of onset. [Funded by 2023 Hebei Provincial Graduate Innovation Funding Project (number, CXZZSS2023140)]

BackgroundThe development of executive function in adolescents is influenced by many environmental factors. Previous studies have found that perceived stress is closely related to executive function, whereas its role in the mediation of executive function remains poorly studied. ObjectiveTo explore the role of negative affect and self-hate in mediating the relationship between perceived stress and executive function in adolescents, so as to assist the improvement of executive function in adolescents. MethodsQuestionnaires were administered to 7 734 adolescents from five junior and five senior high schools in Rizhao city, Shandong province from 1 to 30 May 2022. Data were collected using a self-made questionnaire, and adolescents were assessed using Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Self Report Version (BRIEF-SR), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4) and Self-Hate Scale (SHS). Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between variables. A Bootstrap method was chosen to examine the mediation effect of self-hate and negative affect on the relationship between perceived stress and executive function in adolescents. ResultsA total of 7 012 (90.66%) valid questionnaires were retrieved. BRIEF-SR score was positively correlated with PSS, PHQ-4 and SHS scores (r=0.564, 0.653, 0.597, P<0.01). PSS score was positively correlated with PHQ-4 and SHS scores (r=0.615, 0.531, P<0.01). PHQ-4 score was positively correlated with SHS score (r=0.566, P<0.01). The value of mediation effect of perceived stress on executive function was 0.574 (95% CI: 0.555~0.594). Self-hate (indirect effect value of 0.160, 95% CI: 0.145~0.175) and negative affect (indirect effect value of 0.143, 95% CI: 0.129~0.158), separately from each other, mediated the relationship between perceived stress and executive function, and a chained mediation effect of self-hate and negative affect was also documented (indirect effect value of 0.065, 95% CI: 0.058~0.073), accounting for 27.87%, 24.91% and 11.32% of the total effect, respectively. ConclusionThe perceived stress of adolescents may be a influencing factor of the executive function. Additionally, perceived stress can either directly affect executive function or indirectly through the separate or chained mediation via negative affect and self-hate.

Objective:To explore the impact of adverse childhood experience on self-injury behavior and the mediating role of self hating in adolescents.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 6 high schools and 5 middle schools in Shandong Province from August 1 to December 31, 2022, using the adverse childhood experience questionnaire, self-hating scale and non-suicidal self-injury behavior rating questionnaire for adolescents. A total of 7 313 questionnaires were collected, of which 6 948 were valid. SPSS 22.0 software was used for Spearman correlation analysis, and biased-corrected non-parametric percentile Bootstrap method was used to test the significance of mediating effect.Results:(1) The scores of adverse childhood experience(4.0(2.0, 6.0)), self-hating (22.0 (13.0, 29.0)) and self-injury behavior (12.0 (7.0, 19.0)) in adolescents with self-injury behavior were higher than those without self-injury behavior(0(0, 2.0), 2.0(0, 9.0), 0(0, 1.0)), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-21.700, -22.654, -29.519, all P<0.001). (2) Adverse childhood experience was positively correlated with self-hating ( r=0.46, P<0.01) and self-injury behavior ( r=0.47, P<0.01). Self-hating was positively correlated with self-injury behavior ( r=0.51, P<0.01). (3) Adverse childhood experience directly predicted self-injury behavior with a direct effect of 0.163 (95% CI =0.127-0.200, P<0.01)and the effect size of 53.80%(0.163/0.303).Adverse childhood experiences indirectly predicted self-injury behavior through self-hating, with an indirect effect of 0.140 (95% CI=0.122-0.160, P<0.001) and the effect size of 46.20%(0.140/0.303).The total effect was 0.303 (95% CI=0.270-0.336, P<0.001). Conclusions:There is a close relationship between adverse childhood experiences, self-hating and self-injury behavior in adolescents. Adverse childhood experiences can directly predict self-injury behavior, and can also indirectly affect self-injury behavior through self-hating.

Objective:A nationwide multi-center and large sample survey was conducted to compare the validity of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (Hypo-) Manic Episode with Mixed Features-DSM-5 Module (MINI-M) questionnaire and the Clinically Useful Depression Outcome Scale Supplemented with Questions for the DSM-5 Mixed Features Specifier (CUDOS-M) depression subscale in identifying mixed features in patients experiencing (hypo-) manic episodes.Methods:Using a convenience sampling method, 366 patients with bipolar disorder experiencing acute (hypo-) manic episodes who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited. The diagnosis of "with mixed features" was based on the DSM-5 criteria for mixed features. The predictive validity of the MINI-M questionnaire and the CUDOS-M depression subscale to screen mixed features was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Additionally, the difference in area under the ROC curve (AUC) between the two instruments was compared.Results:The AUC for the MINI-M questionnaire and the CUDOS-M depression subscale in screening mixed features were 0.79 (95 %CI=0.75-0.84) and 0.81 (95 %CI=0.77-0.86), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in AUC between the two measurements ( Z=-1.19, P>0.05). Among patients with acute (hypo-) manic episodes, 45.9% (168/366) presented with mixed features according to the DSM-5 criteria, while the corresponding figures were 43.7% (160/366) using the MINI-M questionnaire (total score≥3) and 42.1% (154/366) using the CUDOS-M depression subscale (total score≥20). Screening results were comparable among the three measures. Conclusion:Mixed features are common among patients experiencing acute (hypo-) manic episodes. The MINI-M questionnaire and the CUDOS-M depression subscale demonstrate equivalent validity in identifying mixed features.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of self-hating in the influence of adverse childhood experiences on adolescents' negative emotions.Methods:A questionnaire method was used to collect demographic variables, and 7 012 valid questionnaires were obtained from adolescents by applying the revised adverse childhood experiences questionnaire, patient health questionnaire-4, and self-hate scale from May 1 to May 30, 2022, in five high schools(90 classes) and five junior high schools(60 classes) in Rizhao city, Shandong province, China. Data entry and analysis were performed by SPSS 22.0 software.Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison between demographic variables and other variables, and the correlations between variables were expressed by Spearman correlation coefficient. AMOS 23.0 software was applied for testing the mediating and moderating effects of variables. Results:(1)There were significant positive correlations between adverse childhood experiences(0(2)) and negative emotion(3(10))( r=0.459, P<0.01), self-hating(2(4))( r=0.427, P<0.01). There were significant positive correlations between self-hating and negative emotion( r=0.566, P<0.01). (2) Self-hating played a mediating role between adverse childhood experience and adolescent negative emotion, and the mediating effect was 0.299, accounted for 61.27% of the total effect.(3) The mediating pathway of self-hated was moderated by gender, with girls' adverse childhood experiences( Bsimple=2.428, t=39.585, P<0.05) predicting self-hating more than boys( Bsimple=1.641, t=25.355, P<0.05). Conclusion:Adverse childhood experiences can predict adolescents' negative emotions, and self-disgusting can also affect adolescents' negative emotions.Gender plays a moderating role in the mediating pathway.
