Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major form of dementia in the elderly and is closely related to the toxic effects of microglia sustained activation. In AD, sustained microglial activation triggers impaired synaptic pruning, neuroinflammation, neurotoxicity, and cognitive deficits. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that aberrant expression of deubiquitinating enzymes is associated with regulating microglia function. Here, we use RNA sequencing to identify a deubiquitinase YOD1 as a regulator of microglial function and AD pathology. Further study showed that YOD1 knockout significantly improved the migration, phagocytosis, and inflammatory response of microglia, thereby improving the cognitive impairment of AD model mice. Through LC-MS/MS analysis combined with Co-IP, we found that Myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9), a key regulator maintaining microglia homeostasis, is an interacting protein of YOD1. Mechanistically, YOD1 binds to MYH9 and maintains its stability by removing the K48 ubiquitin chain from MYH9, thereby mediating the microglia polarization signaling pathway to mediate microglia homeostasis. Taken together, our study reveals a specific role of microglial YOD1 in mediating microglia homeostasis and AD pathology, which provides a potential strategy for targeting microglia to treat AD.

Objective To observe the value of prenatal ultrasound graded management of Sylvian fissure for diagnosing fetal lissencephaly.Methods Totally 39 fetuses with MRI diagnosed lissencephaly who underwent prenatal ultrasound examination were retrospectively enrolled and divided into non-graded management group(n=20)and graded management group(n=19)according to prenatal ultrasound examination before or after the application of prenatal ultrasound graded management of Sylvian fissure(i.e.prenatal ultrasound routine screening for fetal Sylvian fissure morphology).The diagnosis of prenatal ultrasound were compared and analyzed between groups,and the diagnostic value of graded management was evaluated.Results Among 20 fetuses in non-graded management group,prenatal ultrasound showed lissencephaly in 4 fetuses,but only other structural abnormalities in 16 fetuses.Then the latter were re-evaluated based on prenatal ultrasound graded management of Sylvian fissure,among which 4 fetuses could not be evaluated since not standard ultrasonic section,2 fetuses with severe hydrocephalus and Sylvian fissure could not be seen,while Sylvian fissure morphology did not match the corresponding gestational week in 4 fetuses,and type Ⅰ(no platform type)and type Ⅴ(Z-shaped)were noticed in 5 and 1 fetus,respectively.In graded management group,prenatal ultrasound indicated 15 fetuses with lissencephaly,including Sylvian fissure morphology did not match the corresponding gestational week in 6 fetuses,type Ⅰ(no platform type),type Ⅲ(linear type)and type Ⅴ(Z-shaped)were detected in 7,1 and 1 fetus,respectively,while no clear diagnosis was obtained in 4 fetuses.Prenatal ultrasound detection rate of fetal lissencephaly in graded management group(15/19,78.95%)was significantly higher than that in non-graded management group(4/20,20.00%)(P<0.01).Conclusion Based on graded management of Sylvian fissure could improve the efficiency of prenatal ultrasound for diagnosing fetal lissencephaly.
5.Influence of school bullying on non-suicidal self-injury in adolescent with depressive disorder: a moderated mediation model
Sichuan Mental Health 2025;38(4):340-345
BackgroundSchool bullying is a serious social issue. Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a highly prevalent behavior among adolescents with depression and is also becoming a great matter of concern. Previous studies have proved a very close correlation among school bullying, experiential avoidance, family functioning, and NSSI behavior. However, there is a considerable lack of research on the moderating role of family functioning in the relationship between school bullying and experiential avoidance in adolescents with depression in China. ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of experiential avoidance in the relationship between school bullying and NSSI in adolescents with depressive disorder, and the moderating role of family functioning in the relationship between school bullying and experiential avoidance, so as to provide references for formulating intervention strategies for NSSI in adolescents with depressive disorder. MethodsFrom January to December 2024, 318 consecutive adolescent patients fulfilling the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for depression and attending the outpatient department of Weifang Mental Health Center were selected. All respondents completed the Delaware Bullying Victimization Scale-Student (DBVS-S), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Family Assessment Device (FAD), and Behavioral Questionnaire in the Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSAQ). Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationship among variables. SPSS Process Macro v4.1 package program was utilized to seek the mediating and moderating effects. ResultsData were collected from 306 valid respondents (96.23%). In adolescent with depressive disorder, DBVS-S score was positively correlated with both the behavioral questionnaire score in the ANSAQ and the AAQ-II score (r=0.357, 0.558, P<0.01). AAQ-II score was positively correlated with the behavioral questionnaire score in the ANSAQ (r=0.380, P<0.01). Experiential avoidance partially mediated the relationship between school bullying and NSSI in adolescents with depressive disorder, and the mediating effect value was 0.142 (95% CI: 0.081~0.204). Family functioning moderated the relationship between school bullying and experiential avoidance, and the moderated mediation value was 0.096 (95% CI: 0.042~0.165). ConclusionMediation is found from school bullying to NSSI behavior through experiential avoidance in adolescents with depressive disorder, and family functioning plays a moderating role in the relationship between school bullying and experiential avoidance.

Objective To observe the efficacy of low grip strength and grip asymmetry in predicting multiple postoperative outcomes in elderly patients with colorectal cancer. Methods A total of 257 elderly colorectal cancer patients were selected as study objects. Data on general information, grip strength indicators and adverse postoperative outcomes were collected from all patients. Associations of low grip strength, grip asymmetry with adverse postoperative outcomes were explored by Logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to further analyze the efficacy of low grip strength and grip asymmetry alone and their combination in predicting adverse outcomes of patients. Results Grip strength, grip strength ratio, and the combination of grip strength and grip strength ratio could effectively predict the occurrence of complications. The areas under the curve (AUCs) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were 0.649 (0.587 to 0.707), 0.627 (0.565 to 0.686), and 0.672 (0.611 to 0.729) respectively. Grip strength ratio and the combination of grip strength and grip strength ratio could effectively predict prolonged hospital stays, with AUC(95%CI) of 0.671 (0.610 to 0.728) and 0.577 (0.514 to 0.638), respectively. Grip strength and the combination of grip strength and grip strength ratio could effectively predict the occurrence of frailty, with AUC (95%CI) of 0.585 (0.522 to 0.646) and 0.586 (0.523 to 0.647), respectively. Conclusion This study innovatively reveals the predictive efficacy of multiple grip strength indicators for postoperative outcomes in colorectal cancer patients. Low grip strength and grip asymmetry are effective in predicting the occurrence of complications in patients, grip asymmetry is effective in predicting the occurrence of prolonged hospitalization, and low grip strength is effective in predicting the occurrence of frailty in elderly patients with colorectal cancer.
