OBJECTIVE To analyze the differences in chemical components of Gardenia jasminoides before and after processing with ginger, and to evaluate the quality differences among different producing areas. METHODS Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to analyze the compositional differences of G. jasminoides before and after processing with ginger. The water content, total ash, and ethanol-soluble extract content of ginger- processed G. jasminoides were determined according to the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. High performance liquid chromatography was adopted to determine the contents of genipin gentiobioside, geniposide, crocin Ⅰ and crocin Ⅱ in ginger- processed G. jasminoides. RESULTS A total of 49 chemical components were identified from raw G. jasminoides and ginger- processed G. jasminoides, including 14 flavonoids, 15 iridoids, 10 organic acids, 2 alkaloids and 8 other compounds. Among them, 42 components were detected in raw G. jasminoides, 28 in ginger-processed G. jasminoides, and 21 components were common to both. After processing with ginger, raw G. jasminoides lost 21 components (including iridoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and others), while 7 chemical components were added (including coumarins, organic acids, organic acid esters, and flavonoids). For the 15 batches of ginger-processed G. jasminoides, the water content ranged from 5.64% to 7.11%, total ash from 2.92% to 4.87%, and ethanol-soluble extract from 40.61% to 58.02%. The average contents of genipin gentiobioside, geniposide, crocin Ⅰ and crocin Ⅱ were 0.108 7, 0.542 2, 0.565 0, and 0.012 5 mg/g, respectively. CONCLUSIONS After processing with ginger, G. jasminoides loses 21 components, while 7 new components are added. Differences are observed in the water content, total ash, ethanol-soluble extract, and the contents of genipin gentiobioside, geniposide, crocin Ⅰ, and crocin Ⅱ of ginger-processed G. jasminoides from different producing areas. Notably, samples from Fujian exhibit high contents of genipin gentiobioside and ethanol-soluble extract, while samples from Jiangxi have a high content of crocin Ⅰ.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of online problem management plus (PM+) intervention on the mental health among adults with anxiety.Methods:Ninety subjects with anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) total score≥5) were enrolled and randomly allocated into either waiting group or online PM+group. Participants in the online PM+intervention group received online PM+intervention twice a week for 3 weeks, while participants in the waiting group received general psychological supports. Psychological evaluation was performed at the end of the 3-week treatment and at 6 months after treatment. Outcome measures included GAD-7, Patient Health Questionnaire -(PHQ-9), Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Two-factor repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the scores of the two groups at baseline and after intervention. Single-factor repeated measure analysis of variance was used to compare the differences of scores at baseline,3-week post-intervention, and 6-month follow-up in the online PM+ group.Results:A total of 37 (37/45) pations in the online PM+intervention group and 30 (30/45) patients in the waiting group completed the psychological evaluation after intervention. After 3-week intervention, compared with baseline, no significant change was found in the scores of GAD-7 ( F=0.08, P=0.782), PHQ-9 ( F=0.33, P=0.570), PHQ-15 ( F=0.20, P=0.660), PSS-14 ( F=0.14, P=0.05) and ISI ( F=0.02, P=0.880) in the waiting group. The changes of GAD-7 ( F=22.61, P<0.001), PHQ-9 ( F=19.49, P<0.001), PHQ-15 ( F=12.67, P=0.001), PSS-14 ( F=16.69, P<0.001) and ISI ( F=5.59, P=0.022) scores in the online PM+group were statistically significant. There were significant differences in GAD-7 (9.7±5.2 vs. 5.0±3.5, F=17.11, P<0.001), PHQ-9 (11.4±5.9 vs. 6.9±4.7, F=11.65, P=0.002), PHQ-15 (10.4±5.4 vs. 6.3±4.1, F=12.24, P=0.002) and PSS-14 (26.0±7.5 vs.31.8±9.9, F=6.59, P=0.016) scale scores between the online PM+group and the waiting group after intervention. In addition, the scores of GAD-7 (95% CI=1.25-6.47, P=0.002) and PHQ-9 (95% CI=2.21-9.10, P=0.005) scales in the online PM+group still had statistically significant differences compared to the baseline at the 6-month follow-up. Conclusions:In this study, online PM+intervention significantly alleviated symptoms of anxiety, depression, somatization, stress, and insomnia in adults, and the therapeutic benefits of PM+persisted for at least 6 months.

Objective:The research aims to determine the potential mediating role of psychological insecurity based on the correlation between death anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in college students during the pandemic of Covid-19 pandemic. The effects of negative coping styles were also investigated.Methods:The objective was achieved using a convenient sampling method. There were a total of 523 participants including 368 girls and 155 boys, aged 16-30 (19.93±2.19) years from Renmin University of China. Participants completed online the Chinese Version Templer Death Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Feeling of Insecurity Scale, Symptom Checklist-90-Obsessive Compulsive and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Mediational analysis with multiple regression was conducted to reveal the potential roles of psychological insecurity as a mediation factor. Negative coping style was used as a moderator between death anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and a simple slope was used to further analysis.Results:Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were significant correlations between death anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, psychological insecurity, and negative coping style ( r=0.12-0.40, P<0. 01). Death anxiety was positively related to obsessive-compulsive symptoms (β=0.30, t=7.09, P<0.01).This correlation remained significant when psychological insecurity was introduced as a mediating factor (β=0.22, t=5.33, P<0.01). Negative coping style could moderate the relationship of death anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Simple slope analysis showed that a higher tendency of negative coping style was associated with the enhanced impact of death anxiety on obsessive-compulsive symptoms (simple slope=0.27, P<0.01 and simple slope=0.08, P=0.17) for high negative coping style individuals and low-score ones, respectively. Conclusions:This research revealed that death anxiety could trigger obsessive-compulsive symptoms by increasing psychological insecurity; overall, higher levels of negative coping styles reinforce the relationship between death anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
