OBJECTIVES: Depression is a common negative emotion that can significantly impact physical and mental health. Due to their occupational characteristics, medical staff are more susceptible to depression compared to the general population. This study aims to explore the influence of future-oriented coping on depression among medical staff and the mediating roles of psychological resilience and perceived stress, providing theoretical guidance for depression intervention strategies in this group. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among medical staff at a tertiary hospital using convenience sampling. Data were collected via the "Wenjuanxing" platform. A total of 754 questionnaires were distributed; after excluding invalid responses (e.g., duplicate IPs or insufficient completion time), 655 valid questionnaires were retained (valid response rate: 86.87%). Instruments included a demographic questionnaire, the Future-Oriented Coping Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Self-Rating Depression Scale. All scales demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α>0.88) and validity. SPSS 27.0 was used for descriptive analysis, and PROCESS macro (Model 6) was used to test the chain mediation model. Harman's one-factor test was applied to control for common method bias. RESULTS: Descriptive analyses showed that future-oriented coping was positively correlated with psychological resilience and negatively correlated with perceived stress and depression. Mediation analysis revealed that future-oriented coping significantly predicted lower depression levels among medical staff (β=-0.283, P<0.001). Psychological resilience partially mediated the relationship (effect size=-0.329, accounting for 34.13% of the total effect), as did perceived stress (effect size=-0.099, 10.27%). A significant chain mediation path was identified: "future-oriented coping → psychological resilience → perceived stress → depression" (effect size=-0.253, 26.24%). The total indirect effect accounted for 70.64% of the overall effect, highlighting the substantial role of the mediating pathways. CONCLUSIONS Future-oriented coping can reduce depressive symptoms in medical staff, with psychological resilience and perceived stress serving as key mediators in a chain structure. These findings suggest that enhancing future-oriented coping strategies and psychological resilience may improve stress adaptation and reduce depression levels in this population.

Objective To explore the callsal association between intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP)and offspring attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)and Tourette's syndrome(TS)and its potential mechanisms.Methods Genome wide association study(GWAS)in public datasets was used to extract data.Among them,exposure was ICP(n=123 579),which stems from FinnGen dataset.Outcome was defined as ADHD,TS and other tic disorders(n=23 918),which is extracted from GWAS Catalog.Among mediators,total cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein(TC in HDL)were from the genetic map of the human plasma proteinome(n=21 558),and Obg-like ATPase 1 was from whole-genome study of circulating metabolites(n=3 301).In this study,we chose instrumental variables(IVs)that meets the Mendelian randomization(MR)hypothesis.When using two-sample MR,inverse variance weighted(IVW)was adopted as the primary method,and MR-Egger regression,weighted median,weighted mode,and simple mode were also utilized to analyse the robustness.Cochran's Q test,MR-Egger intercept test and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis were performed to verify the reliability.Significant threshold was set up as P<0.05.When using two-step MR,the first step is two-sample MR from exposure to mediator,and the second step is multivariable MR(MVMR),which is from mediator to outcome.At this time,conditional F-statistic was adopted to test the strength of IVs.At last,product distribution test was applied to determine the significance of mediation effects.Results ICP was significantly related to ADHD and TS as well as other tic disorders in offspring(IVW:OR=1.003,95%CI:1.000～1.006,P=0.035),and sensitivity analysis verified the robustness of the results.The potential positive mediators included TC in HDL[total effect(TE)=2.855×10-3;mediated effect(ME)=8.628×10-4;mediated proportion(MP)=30.217%,95%CI:0.878%～73.954%],and Obg-like ATPase 1(TE=2.855×10-3;ME=1.216×10-3;MP=42.572%,95%CI:6.356%～90.195%).Conclusion ICP is possible to elevate the incidence rate of ADHD and TS and other tic disorders via reducing TC in HDL and Obg-like ATPase 1.

Objective To compare the changes in biological indicators of human corneal epithe-lial(HCET)cells and rabbit corneas after exposure to different doses of ultraviolet B(UVB)radia-tion,so as to evaluate the impact of UVB radiation on corneal injury effects.Methods In cell exper-iment,HCET cells were divided into groups with radiation doses of 0,6,12,18,and 24 mJ/cm2.The effect of UVB radiation on HCET cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 assay,and the level of intracellular DNA damage was assessed by immunofluorescence.In the animal experiment,15 healthy New Zealand white rabbits(30 eyes)were randomly divided into groups with radiation doses of 0,1.35,2.16,4.32,and 6.48 J/cm2.The UVB exposure time for the radiation groups was 30 minutes per day for 3 consecutive days.Corneal injury was evaluated using methods such as slit-lamp microscopy,sodium fluorescein staining,central corneal thickness measurement,optical coherence tomography(OCT)imaging,and hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.Results Compared with the control group,cell viability in the radiation groups gradually decreased,and the level of DNA damage gradually increased with increasing radiation dose.As the radiation dose increased in the radiation groups,the degree of corneal opacity in rabbits gradually worsened,the central corneal area gradu-ally thickened,and OCT revealed high-intensity scattered light signals with the formation of shadow areas.Results from HE staining,immunohistochemistry,Western blot(WB),and sodium fluores-cein staining showed that the 1.35 J/cm2 group caused mild corneal injury,with damage reaching the corneal epithelial layer.In the 2.16 J/cm2 group,the corneal injury presented as dense punctate distribution,with damage extending from the epithelial layer to the superficial stroma.The number of ephrin type-A receptor 2(EphA2)protein-stained cells was relatively small,and the staining was light,showing a weak positive result.In the 4.32 J/cm2 and 6.48 J/cm2 groups,the corneal injury was irreversible,with damage gradually progressing from the corneal epithelial layer and superficial stroma to the endothelial layer.The number of EphA2 protein-stained cells was relatively large,and the staining was dark,showing a strong positive result.Conclusion This study comprehensively e-valuates the dose-dependent injury effects of UVB on HCET cells and New Zealand white rabbit cor-neas through cell and animal experiments.It elucidates that UVB radiation could induce corneal cell DNA damage,promote inflammatory responses,and trigger apoptosis by upregulating γ-phosphoryla-ted histone H2AX(γH2AX)and EphA2.The self-repair ability and process of corneal injury are preliminarily explored,providing a basis for further research on mechanisms of corneal injury caused by ultraviolet radiation and the development of protective drugs.

High intensity ultraviolet radiation exists in special military operation environments such as oceans,plateaus,polar regions and deserts,which is a leading contributor to eye damage and can lead to luminous keratitis,dry eyes,pterygium,cataract and macular degeneration.Ultraviolet radiation can cause acute and chronic injury to eyes by inducing DNA damage,oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction.The commonly used clinical drugs have played a role in relieving symptoms and promoting the repair of ocular tissues,but there are still limitations.The research on targeted therapeutic drugs,proteins and their derived peptides,vitamins and their coenzymes,as well as natural active ingredients of animals and plants has provided new ideas for the development of more effective drugs that can protect eyes from ultraviolet and for medical support to China's army in special environments.Based on the literature currently available,this paper reviews the eye injury caused by ultraviolet radiation and therapeutic drugs in terms of types of eye diseases,injury mechanisms,treatment strategies and drug development.

ObjectiveTo establish a managing mode for illegal and irregular acts of occupational medical examination (OME) institutions to the requirements of the new situation. Methods The OME institutions from the “Guangdong Province Key Occupational Disease Monitoring and Management Platform” were selected as the study subjects using the judgment sampling method. The clues of suspected illegal and irregular acts of OME institutions were found and submitted to the local health commission for investigation and managed according to the case information monitoring and on-site quality assessment. The OME institutions found to have illegal and irregular acts were filed and investigated according to the national law after investigation and verification. A “follow-up inspection” was conducted on five OME institutions for closed loop management. Results A total of 12 OME institutions were found to have suspected illegal and irregular acts, including seven institutions that did not meet the filing requirements for effective personnel, five institutions that conducted projects beyond the scope without filing to the provincial health authorities within 15 work days from the start of the project, and two institutions that failed to fulfill the obligation of informing and reporting to the health authorities, employers, and workers as required. After submitting relevant clues and evidence to the local health commission for investigation and management, seven institutions were not given penalty, and five institutions were given administrative penalties including two institutions were fined and warned, and three institutions were warned. No illegal or irregular acts were found in the five institutions inspected during the “follow-up inspection”. Conclusion It is beneficial to explore the managing mode of “clue discovery, clue submission, investigation and disposal, follow-up inspection” for OME institutions suspected of illegal and irregular acts, which helps urge OME institutions to work in accordance with laws and regulations and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers' occupational health.
