1.Influence of school bullying on non-suicidal self-injury in adolescent with depressive disorder: a moderated mediation model
Sichuan Mental Health 2025;38(4):340-345
BackgroundSchool bullying is a serious social issue. Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a highly prevalent behavior among adolescents with depression and is also becoming a great matter of concern. Previous studies have proved a very close correlation among school bullying, experiential avoidance, family functioning, and NSSI behavior. However, there is a considerable lack of research on the moderating role of family functioning in the relationship between school bullying and experiential avoidance in adolescents with depression in China. ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of experiential avoidance in the relationship between school bullying and NSSI in adolescents with depressive disorder, and the moderating role of family functioning in the relationship between school bullying and experiential avoidance, so as to provide references for formulating intervention strategies for NSSI in adolescents with depressive disorder. MethodsFrom January to December 2024, 318 consecutive adolescent patients fulfilling the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for depression and attending the outpatient department of Weifang Mental Health Center were selected. All respondents completed the Delaware Bullying Victimization Scale-Student (DBVS-S), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Family Assessment Device (FAD), and Behavioral Questionnaire in the Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSAQ). Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationship among variables. SPSS Process Macro v4.1 package program was utilized to seek the mediating and moderating effects. ResultsData were collected from 306 valid respondents (96.23%). In adolescent with depressive disorder, DBVS-S score was positively correlated with both the behavioral questionnaire score in the ANSAQ and the AAQ-II score (r=0.357, 0.558, P<0.01). AAQ-II score was positively correlated with the behavioral questionnaire score in the ANSAQ (r=0.380, P<0.01). Experiential avoidance partially mediated the relationship between school bullying and NSSI in adolescents with depressive disorder, and the mediating effect value was 0.142 (95% CI: 0.081~0.204). Family functioning moderated the relationship between school bullying and experiential avoidance, and the moderated mediation value was 0.096 (95% CI: 0.042~0.165). ConclusionMediation is found from school bullying to NSSI behavior through experiential avoidance in adolescents with depressive disorder, and family functioning plays a moderating role in the relationship between school bullying and experiential avoidance.

ObjectiveTo analyze the mental health status and its influencing factors in middle school students under the regular prevention and control of COVID-19, so as to provide references for the intervention and management of their mental health problems. MethodsFrom March 7 to 21, 2021, a stratified random sampling method was used to select 19 352 students from 17 schools in 3 districts and 9 counties of Linyi City, Shandong Province. Basic data were collected through a self-designed questionnaire. All students completed the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) to assess their mental health status. Then the factors affecting the mental health status of middle school students were screened using independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA test and multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results① A total of 6 350 (32.81%) middle school students were found to have mental health problems. ② Each SCL-90 factor score and total average score yielded statistical difference among middle school students of different genders, relationships with classmate, closeness to friends, concerns about the epidemic, and pressure exerted by schoolwork (P<0.01). Each SCL-90 factor score and total average score of middle school students were significant different in terms of the hours of smartphone usage for recreation per day, sleep duration per night in hours and exercise frequency (P<0.01). ③ Multiple stepwise regression analysis denoted that female gender, poor relationship with classmate, no close friend and long hours of smartphone usage for recreation were the risk factors for mental health of middle school students (β=0.096, 0.183, 0.064, 0.232, P<0.01). ConclusionThe prevalence rate of mild mental health problems is quite high among middle school students under the regular epidemic prevention and control. Additionally, female gender, poor relationship with classmate, no close friend and long hours of smartphone usage for recreation have a negative impact on middle school students' mental health.
3.Ziprasidone-induced stuttering: a case report
Sichuan Mental Health 2022;35(4):373-375
This paper reported a case of a 25-year-old male schizophrenic patient, who obtained remission from psychotic symptoms during the treatment of olanzapine and trihexylphenidyl, was given ziprasidone treatment additionally due to the occurrence of auditory hallucination, and developed stuttering 4 days later. The stuttering disappeared 2 days following the discontinuation of therapy, and reappeared after reinstitution of ziprasidone therapy, but disappeared again after discontinuation. The dose of olanzapine was increased to 20 mg/d to ensure the stability of psychotic remission. At a follow-up visit 4 months later, the patient’s mental condition was stable and stuttering did not recur, indicating that the stuttering was induced by ziprasidone. This case suggests that the possibility of stuttering as an adverse reaction should be considered in the clinical application of ziprasidone.

The case report aims to raise the concern of clinicians about hiccups as an adverse reaction in olanzapine treatment. A 47-year-old male patient with epileptic mental disorder appeared symptoms of persistent hiccups on the fourth day of treatment with sodium valproate and carbamazepine jointing 10 mg/d olanzapine, and the symptoms disappeared two days after olanzapine withdrawal. The patient began to take olanzapine again, hiccups reappeared seven days after administration and relieved two days after withdrawal. During the whole treatment period, the dosage of sodium valproate and carbamazepine remained unchanged, indicating that the hiccups was induced by olanzapine. This case suggests that the possibility of hiccups should be considered in the clinical application of olanzapine.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the early events of norcantharidin (NCTD) induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, the variation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the NF-E2-relate? dactor 2/antioxidant response element(Nrf2/ARE) pathway in human HepG2 cells. METHODS The cyto?toxicity was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The intra toxicity ROS production was evaluated by flow cytometry analysis with DCFH-DA probe and the effect of NCTD on Nrf2/ARE pathway was detected by luciferase assay in HepG2C8 cells under the same condition. The mRNA expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1) antioxidase gene in Nrf2/ARE pathway downstream was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS No significant cytotoxicity was detected after HepG2 cells were treated with NCTD 30, 60 and 120 μmol · L- 1 for 3 and 6 h, but cellular viability was inhibited significantly by NCTD 30, 60 and 120μmol·L-1 for 24, 48 and 72 h(P<0.01). Cell apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest occurred after HepG2 cells were treated with NCTD 60μmol · L-1 for 12, 24 and 48 h. The percentage of apoptosis increased from (4.00 ± 1.98)%to (12.10 ± 1.70)%for 12 h, from (4.05 ± 0.21)%to (31.8 ± 6.50)%for 24 h, and from (3.90 ± 0.85)% to (33.30 ± 1.41)% for 48 h, respectively. The percentage of G2/M phase increased from (16.51 ± 1.58)% to (40.89 ± 0.18)% for 12 h, from (16.99 ± 1.32)% to (55.29 ± 3.99)% for 24 h, and from (14.45 ± 0.59)% to (50.66 ± 5.88)% for 48 h, respectively. Compared with cell control group, the percentage of G1 phase had a significant decrease in the group with NCTD treated at different time points(P<0.01). No significant change in ROS in HepG2 cells was detected after the treatment with NCTD 30, 60 and 120μmol · L-1 for 3, 6 and 12 h. Nrf2/ARE pathway in HepG2C8 cells was activated by NCTD 30, 60 and 120μmol·L-1 for 6 and 12 h. mRNA expression of HO-1 and NQO1 had a signifi?cant activation in HepG2 cells after treatment with NCTD 30, 60 and 120 μmol · L-1 for 6 and 12 h (P<0.05). CONCLUSION NCTD can activate Nrf2/ARE pathway in the early stage in HepG2 cells, which may inhibit the intracellular ROS production in the early stage. Activation of ROS may not be the main event in NCTD induced HepG2 cell apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cytotoxic activity of Arca subcrenata Lischke anticancer protein(ASAP)constituents on human myeloid leukemia K562 cells in vitro and analyze its anticancer mechanisms. METHODS ASAP was extracted by low temperature water and ammonium sulfate precipitation. Protein concentration of ASAP was detected by Bradford method. Morphological changes of cultured K562 cells treated with ASAP were observed under the inverted phase-contrast micro?scope. The cell and nucleus changes were analyzed by Giemsa staining. The cytotoxicity of ASAP on K562 cells was detected by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis and cell cycle of K562 cells treated with ASAP. The expression of apoptosis and cell cycle related proteins procaspase 3, caspase 3,P53 and programmed cell death 4(PDCD4)were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS ASAP exhibited significant cytotoxic effect on K562 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The concentration-effect correlation coefficient of ASAP 50,100 and 200 mg · L-1 on K562 cells for 24, 48 and 72 h was 0.851,0.8977 and 0.8997,respectively. Under an optical microscope,K562 cells showed cytomorphosis,or nuclear fragmentation after treatment with ASAP 200 mg · L-1 for 48 h. Flow cytometry analysis and Giemsa staining assay indicated that apoptotic cells increased and G2/M phase cells accumulated significantly with the increase of ASAP concentration. After treatment with ASAP 200 mg · L-1 for 48 h,the early and late apoptosis cell rate increased to(32.8 ± 0.1)%and(31.2 ± 2.2)%vs control group(3.7 ± 1.1)% and (9.9 ± 0.8)%(P<0.01),respectively,and the G2/M phase cells increased to (55.2 ± 1.7)% vs (15.3 ± 0.8)% in control group(P<0.01). After treatment with ASAP 200 mg · L-1 for 0-40 h,the expression of apoptotic protein procaspase 3 was down-regulated and its active form caspase 3 was significantly up-regulated at 32 h,while PDCD4 and P53 protein expression was down-regulated significantly in 0-40 h. CONCLUSION Apoptosis and cell cycle arrest induced in G2/M phase may account for ASAP cytotoxic activity to K562 cells. K562 cell apoptosis induced by ASAP depends on caspase 3 signal pathway. Down-regulated expression of PDCD4 and P53 proteins may be related to K562 cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase by ASAP.

To quantify the transcriptional activity of NF-κB and to screen drugs related to the regulation of NF-κB activation, we constructed a recombinant plasmid through deleting the original CMV promoter of retrovirus vector pQCXIP and inserting the NF-κB enhancer and NanoLuc luciferase sequence into the vector. Then, using the recombinant plasmid we constructed a cell line in which the expression of NanoLuc luciferase (NLuc) was regulated by NF-κB. The inserted sequences were verified by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequencing. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), an NF-κB activator, acted on the constructed NLuc cell line and leaded to the specific luciferase reaction. The luciferase reaction showed a fine time and dose dependence to the TNF-α stimulation, indicating the successful construction of the NF-κB regulated NLuc-expressing cell line. Besides, the NF-κB inhibitor, triptolide, reduced the expression of NLuc in a dose-dependent way. The constructed reporter system in this study could be applied in the quantification of the NF-κB transcriptional activity and in the NF-κB regulation-related drug screening.
