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.

Objective:To identify the genetic causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes in five families and provide a basis for rational guidance on genetic and reproductive counseling.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on five families with a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes, where one partner was found to have a cryptic balanced translocation. These cases were identified among pregnant women who underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis at the Department of Medical Genetics and Prenatal Diagnosis, Wuxi Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, from January 2016 to June 2023. Conventional G-banding karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were performed on affected children/fetus samples. Chromosome G-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were used for parental tracing. Genetic counseling was provided for all cases, and the pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Descriptive analysis was applied in this study. Results:Case 1 involved an eldest son with unexplained intellectual disability, and the CMA results showed an 8.6 Mb deletion in the 4p16.3p16.1 region and a 1.0 Mb duplication in the 7q36.3 region. Unbalanced translocations were detected in the current pregnancies of the other four cases, which were a 6.1 Mb duplication in the 14q32.2q32.33 region with a 1.6 Mb deletion in the 21q22.3 region (Case 2), a 10.8 Mb duplication in the 6q25.3q27 region with a 1.2 Mb deletion in the 15q26.3 region (Case 3), a 1.0 Mb duplication in the 5p15.33 region with a 2.9 Mb deletion in the 6q27 region (Case 4), and a 3.2 Mb deletion in the 1q44 region with a 4.8 Mb duplication in the 19p13.3 region (Case 5). FISH confirmed that either the husband or the wife in each of the five families was a carrier of a cryptic balanced translocation. Further CMA testing on amniotic fluid samples from previous terminated pregnancies of Cases 3 and 4 also indicated unbalanced translocations. Both the current pregnancy of Case 1 and the subsequent pregnancy of Case 2 gave birth to healthy babies after non-abnormal prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling. Cases 3 to 5 are currently preparing for pregnancy.Conclusion:Advances and combined application of genetic technologies will be conducive to improving the diagnosis of cryptic balanced translocations in some families with adverse pregnancy outcomes, providing a sound basis for genetic counseling in future pregnancy.
