With the development of the COVID-19 epidemic, the psychological impacts and stress-related symptoms associated with it have gradually appeared. The preventative and therapeutic psychological crisis interventions are urgently needed. This article focused on the international psychological crisis intervention models, which included the critical incident stress management, the task model, and the assessment-crisis intervention-trauma treatment intervention model. The aim of the current study was to form the suitable interventions for COVID-19 according to existing intervention methods and the specific characteristics of COVID-19. Possible coping strategies were also proposed for COVID-19 psychological crisis, which provided a theoretical basis for establishing an integrated public health emergency system and mechanism for psychological crisis prevention, evaluation, intervention and follow-up in China.

Stigma of mental illness has significantly adverse impacts on the work and daily life of relevant populations, which made it a critical and urgent problem to be solved in the field of mental health. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive elaboration and summarization of mental illness stigma from the following four aspects: the definition and classification; research measurements; current status; and negative consequences to provide novel implications and strategies for future research and clinical practice, including development of stigma-specific scale, mechanism exploration, as well as implementation of relevant interventions.

Objective: To assess the casual effect of childhood obesity on adulthood coronary artery disease (CAD) using Mendelian randomization (MR) method. Methods: Data on BMI of children aged 2-10 years in 2015 were downloaded from Early Growth Genetics Consortium and Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits Consortium. Twenty-seven genetic variants related to children’s BMI were selected as instrumental variables (IVs), and the associations between IVs and CAD were extracted from a Meta-analysis of the genome-wide association study of CAD cases published in UK Biobank 2015. We used MR-Egger regression to test whether there was the pleiotropy of the selected SNPs. In the present MR methods, we conducted MR analyses by using mode-based estimate method as primary method for summary-level of associations to estimate the causal association between childhood obesity and CAD. Results: The intercept term estimated for CAD from MR-Egger method suggested that the selected SNPs don’t exert pleiotropy with a 95%CI including the null (-0.008-0.018). In addition, we found evidence that support the effect of childhood obesity on CAD risk: a 1 s increase in children BMI (kg/m²), and the risk of suffering from CAD in adulthood increased by an average of 37% (OR=1.37, 95%CI: 1.09-1.72). Conclusion This study provides a causal association between childhood obesity and CAD risk.
