Objective To explore the mediating role of mindful attention and awareness in depressive symptoms and insomnia severity among patients with comorbid depression and insomnia.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted,enrolling 267 patients with comorbid depression and insomnia who were treated in the outpatient Department of Medical Psychology of Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University,from March to May 2024.Basic demographic and clinical data were collected using a general information questionnaire.Depressive symptom severity was measured via the Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9),insomnia severity via the Insomnia Severity Index(ISI),perceived stress via the Perceived Stress Scale-10(PSS-10),and mindful attention and awareness via the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale(MAAS).Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlations between depressive severity,insomnia severity,perceived stress,and mindful attention and awareness.Mediation analysis was performed using Process 4.1.Results The PHQ-9 score was(13.80±5.98)and the ISI score was(17.10±5.56)in the 267 patients.Pearson correlation analysis showed that depressive severity and insomnia severity were positively correlated with perceived stress(r=0.531,0.351,P<0.001)and negatively correlated with mindful attention and awareness(r=-0.373,-0.350,P<0.001).Mediation analysis using Process 4.1 indicated that the combined mediating effect of mindful attention and awareness and insomnia between perceived stress level and depressive level was 0.157,with a 95%confidence interval(CI)of 0.102～0.217,and the total mediating effect was significant(P<0.001).Conclusion Perceived stress directly positively affects depression and indirectly exacerbates depression through insomnia as a mediator,and mindful attention and awareness can weaken the promoting effect of perceived stress on insomnia.

Objective To find out about perceived stress,self-compassion,cognitive flexibility,and depression among young males at high altitudes,construct a relational model between perceived stress and depression,explore the relationship between perceived stress and depression,and examine the roles of self-compassion and cognitive flexibility.Methods Using the convenient sampling method,733 young males from a high-altitude unit were surveyed via the general information questionnaire,the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS),the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory(CFI),Self-Compassion Scale(SCS)and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scales(CES-D).Results(1)TheCES-D score was 13.92±3.38.(2)Perceived stress was positively correlated with depression(r=0.28,P＜0.01).(3)Self-compassion partially mediated the relationship between perceived stress and depression,accounting for 59.05％of the total effect.(4)Cognitive flexibility moderated the relationship between self-compassion and depression(P＜0.05).Conclusion Young males at high altitudes exhibit notable levels of depressive symptoms.Perceived stress was significantly positively correlated with depression.By enhancing self-compassion and cognitive flexibility,the incidence of depressive symptoms among young males in prolonged high-stress conditions can be reduced.

Background: Medicinal plants rich in endophytic fungi are a significant source of natural lead compounds. Meroterpenoids, which are hybrid natural products originating from partially terpenoid pathways, exhibit impressive structural complexity and substantial potential as drug candidates. The structural diversity of meroterpenoids is largely attributed to the functional diversity of terpenoid cyclases, which generate a variety of terpenoid compounds with different ring systems. This enzymatic versatility underscores the biochemical potential of endophytic fungi and their invaluable role in drug discovery. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the role of endophytic fungi from Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis in facilitating diverse cyclization modifications of meroditerpenoids through four terpene cyclases (TCs) from the Pyr4 family. Methods: This study utilized a recombinant strategy to successfully reconstruct four distinct TCs from endophytic fungi in the heterologous host, Aspergillus oryzae NSAR1. The structural characterization of the resulting secondary metabolites was performed using mass spectrometry and NMR techniques. Results: The substitution of TCs from the endophytes Aspergillus felis 0260 and Fusarium graminearum 1962 in Aspergillus oryzae through hydrophobic intermediates 1 and 2, led to the production of meroditerpenoids sartorypyrone C (3) and a new compound, 4′-methylchevalone E (4), respectively. This study demonstrates the critical role of endophytic fungi in enhancing structural diversity. Conclusions: These findings provide valuable insights into the compatibility of pathway combinations and the interchangeability of terpene cyclases derived from endophytic fungi in medicinal plants, which advanced the understanding of meroditerpenoid biosynthesis and highlighted the importance of endophytic fungi in drug discovery.

Objective:To construct an index system for including ideological and political education elements and cases in the Health Assessment course, and to provide a reference for the evaluation of ideological and political teaching of the Health Assessment course.Methods:By using literature analysis, the nominal group method, and the Delphi expert consultation method, we determined indicators for ideological and political elements and case inclusion criteria for the undergraduate nursing course Health Assessment. The analytic hierarchy method was applied to quantify the items and determine the final weights of the indicators at each level.Results:The response rates of two rounds of expert consultation were both 100%. The authority coefficient of the experts was 0.880. For the second-round consultation on the system of ideological and political elements, the coefficient of variation was 0.078, and the Kendall's coefficient of concordance was 0.334. For the second-round consultation on the inclusion criteria for ideological and political cases, the coefficient of variation was 0.075, and the Kendall's coefficient of concordance was 0.312. Finally, we determined 6 first-level indicators and 30 second-level indicators for the ideological and political elements of the Health Assessment course, and 9 indicators for the inclusion of ideological and political cases for the Health Assessment course.Conclusions:The established index system for the ideological and political elements and cases of the Health Assessment course for nursing undergraduates is reasonable, scientific, and reliable, which can provide a reference for subsequent construction of the ideological and political teaching system for the Health Assessment course.

OBJECTIVES: The current study aimed to investigate the bonding properties of a novel low-shrinkage resin adhesive containing expanding monomer and epoxy resin monomer after thermal cycling aging treatment. METHODS: Expanding monomer of 3,9-diethyl-3,9-dimethylol-1,5,7,11-tetraoxaspiro-[5,5] undecane (DDTU) as an anti-shrinkage additive and unsaturated epoxy monomer of diallyl bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DBDE) as a coupling agent were synthesized. A blend of DDTU and DBDE at a mass ratio of 1∶1, referred to as "UE", was added into the resin matrix at the mass fraction of 20% to prepare a novel low-shrinkage resin adhesive.Then, the methacrylate resin adhesive without UE was used as the blank control group, and a commercial resin adhesive system was selected as the commercial control group. Moreover, the resin-dentin bonding and micro-leakage testing specimens were prepared for the thermal cycling aging treatment. The bonding strength was tested, the fracture modes were calculated, the bonding fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the dye penetration was used to evaluate the tooth-restoration marginal interface micro-leakage. All the data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: After aging, the dentin bonding strength of the experimental group was (19.20±1.03) MPa without a significant decrease (P>0.05), that of the blank control group was (11.22±1.48) MPa with a significant decrease (P<0.05) and that of the commercial control group was (19.16±1.68) MPa without a significant decrease (P>0.05). The interface fracture was observed as the main fracture mode in each group after thermal cycling by SEM. The fractured bonding surfaces of the experimental group often occurred on the top of the hybrid layer, whereas those of the blank and commercial control groups mostly occurred on the bottom of the hybrid layer. Micro-leakage rating counts of specimens before and after thermal cycling were as follows: the experimental group was primarily 0 grade, thereby indicating that a relatively ideal marginal sealing effect could be achieved (P>0.05); meanwhile, the blank control group was primarily 1 grade, and the penetration depth of dye significantly increased after thermal cycling (P<0.05); the commercial control group was primarily 0 grade without statistical difference before and after thermal cycling (P>0.05), while a significant difference was observed between the commercial control group and experimental group after thermal cycling (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The novel low-shrinkage resin adhesive containing 20%UE exhibited excellent bonding properties even after thermal cycling aging treatment, thereby showing a promising prospect for dental application.
