BackgroundAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are strong predictors of psychopathology across the lifespan, exerting extensive adverse effects on physical and mental health during early development. While ACEs increase the risk of childhood psychopathology, sleep quality and impair cognitive function, the early neurobiological mechanisms mediating ACE-induced cognitive impairment remain unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the association between ACEs exposure and the risk of psychopathology, sleep disorders, and cognitive function, and to examine the mediating role of the putamen volume in the relationship between ACEs and cognitive function from a neurodevelopment perspective. MethodsData were obtained from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, comprising 10 572 children aged 9 to 10. Participants were categorized into five groups based on the cumulative score of ACEs reported by their parents and the children themselves: no-exposure group (0 types of ACEs), the one-exposure group, the two-exposure group, the three-exposure group, and the high-risk exposure group (≥ 4 types of ACEs). Logistic regression analysis was employed to evaluate the association between ACEs and psychopathological symptoms [T score of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) ≥ 65]. Multiple linear regression analysis was ultilized to analyze the correlations between ACEs and the scores of the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC), the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB), as well as the multiple structures in the cerebral cortex and subcortex. The Bootstrap method was applied to test the mediating effect of the putamen volume between ACEs and neurocognitive function. ResultsAfter adjusting for confounders, ACEs cumulative score was correlated with children's psychopathological symptoms in a dose-response manner. Compared with the no-exposed group, the high-risk exposure group had a 2.08-fold (OR=2.080, 95% CI: 1.401–3.088) increased risk of internalizing problems and a 3.13-fold (OR=3.132, 95% CI: 1.703–5.760) increased risk of externalizing problems, and the risk of conduct problems was 4.68 times that of the no-exposed group (OR=4.681, 95% CI: 2.528–8.669). ACEs cumulative score positively predicted the total score of SDSC (β=0.080, 95% CI: 0.059–0.102), with relatively stronger predictive effects on sleep-wake transition disorder (β=0.086, 95% CI: 0.063–0.109) and sleep onset and maintenance disorder (β=0.066, 95% CI: 0.043–0.089). In terms of neurocognition and brain structure, ACEs cumulative score negatively predicted the overall cognitive composite score (β=-0.025, 95% CI: -0.050–-0.001), the crystallized cognitive composite score (β=-0.035, 95% CI: -0.060–-0.010), the volume of the left putamen nucleus (β=-0.025, 95% CI: -0.046– 0.003), and the volume of the right putamen nucleus (β=-0.023, 95% CI: -0.044– 0.003). The total putamen volume played a partial mediating role between ACEs and the overall cognitive composite score, the effect value was -0.002 (95% CI: -0.004–-0.001), accounting for 7.49% of the total effect. ConclusionACEs exposure may increase the risk of psychopathological and sleep disturbances in children and may impair neurocognitive function. Reduced putamen volume may serve a potential neurobiological pathway underlying the impact of ACEs on childhood cognition.

Objective To investigate biological markers associated with psychotic symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder(BD)based on electronic medical records of patients,and to develop an interpretable risk prediction model that supports the identification of high-risk individuals and that facilitates decision-making for providing clinical intervention in a timely manner.Methods A total of 2 352 patients diagnosed with BD and admitted to West China Hospital,Sichuan University were enrolled using the electronic medical records system of the hospital.The participants were divided into two subgroups,the bipolar disorder depression(BDD)group and the bipolar disorder mania(BDM)group.The logistic regression algorithm was used to train and validate the prediction model,and interpretability methods were used to analyze the contribution of each feature to individuals and the effect of the features on specific target prediction decisions.Results The logistic regression model demonstrated robust predictive performance across the BD,BDD,and BDM cohorts,with areas under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic curves always exceeding 81.6%.The core predictive features included platelet distribution width(PDW),fibrinogen(FIB),platelet large cell ratio(P-LCR),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT),and triglyceride(TG).The logistic regression model exhibited strong interpretability and was combined with nomograms for intuitive risk quantification and individualized prediction.Conclusion The logistic regression model enables rapid and simple screening of BD patients with psychotic symptoms.Distinct patterns of changes observed in blood biomarkers of BDD and BDM subgroups enrich the understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and highlight the importance of considering subtypes in the intervention and management of patients.

Objective To analyze temporal trends in infectious disease burden among Chinese elderly(≥60 years)using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study(GBD 2021),evaluate age-period-cohort effects on disease burden,predict trends through 2045,and propose evidence-based medication management strategies.Methods We conducted a threefold analysis of infectious disease burden from 1990 to 2021 using Joinpoint regression to identify temporal trends,Age-Period-Cohort(APC)modeling to disentangle epidemiological effects,and Nordpred projections for 2045 disease burden estimates.Results Over 32 years,all infectious disease categories except HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections demonstrated significant declines.Enteric infections showed the most rapid reductions in mortality(AAPC=-7.85,P﹤0.001)and disability-adjusted life year rates(DALYR;AAPC=-7.18,P﹤0.001).We also found a significant decrease in the incidence of tropical diseases and malaria(AAPC=-6.77,P﹤0.001).APC analysis found that the age effect was mostly negative in terms of the annual percentage change in mortality and DALYR for each disease,except for HIV/AIDS,with an overall decline in period risk over time,and a generally higher risk of morbidity and mortality for the early birth cohort,and an overall decline in the risk of each disease as the year of birth progressed,but the risk of HIV/AIDS death and DALY period and cohort risks trended upward.While the overall risk for certain diseases was slightly higher in males compared to females,the trends were largely consistent across both sexes.In terms of projections,the absolute prevalence of respiratory infections and tuberculosis in terms of number of cases and age-standardized rates,and the growth of the disease burden of HIV/AIDS were particularly prominent,making them important health challenges for the future.The burden of disease in the elderly often results in issues such as potential polypharmacy,which must be addressed to improve medication management.Conclusions China has achieved remarkable progress in reducing infectious disease burdens among older adults,though HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections present an escalating public health threat.These findings advocate for enhanced surveillance systems,age-specific prevention strategies,and precision medication protocols to optimize therapeutic outcomes in geriatric populations.

With the advancement of endovascular therapy(EVT)techniques,the recanalization rate for patients with ischemic stroke(IS)has exceeded 80%.However,more than 50%of patients fail to achieve favorable neurological outcomes following recanalization,a phenomenon termed"futile recanalization"(FR).Neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathological progression of IS and is closely associated with the development of FR.This systematic review synthesizes the pivotal role of neuroinflammation in FR,encompassing three core pathological mechanisms:the no-reflow phenomenon,cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury,and the gut-brain axis.The identification of various inflammation-related biomarkers shows promise for early detection of high-risk FR patients.Therapeutic agents including TLR4 antagonists(e.g.ApTOLL),neuroprotective compounds,and traditional Chinese medicine formulations demonstrate treatment potential through modulation of neuroinflammatory pathways.Targeted interventions against neuroinflammation may emerge as a strategic approach to improve clinical outcomes in IS patients.
