Background The mental health problems of employees in administrative organs and public institutions are highly valued.However,there is a lack of understanding regarding the mental health status of employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region.Objective To analyze the anxiety and depression of employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region,so as to provide references for promoting their mental health and intervening in psychological problems.Methods From October 23 to 28,2022,a total of 3 096 employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region were enrolled using stratified cluster sampling technique,and were assessed using Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS).Results A total of 1797(58.04％)employees in municipal and above administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region completed a valid questionnaire survey.Depressive symptoms were noted in 579(32.22％).SDS scores yielded statistical difference among the selected employees of different ethnicities,types of job positions and educational levels(F=9.074,101.488,4.477,P<0.01),and the severity of depressive symptoms also demonstrated statistical difference among the selected employees with different ethnicities,educational levels and types of job positions(H=49.196,17.028,160.848,P<0.01).Anxiety symptoms were detected in 711(39.57％)employees.SAS scores exhibited statistical difference among the employees with different genders,ages,ethnicities,educational levels,marital status and types of job positions(t=-4.571,F=6.648,3.950,5.243,12.008,22.253,P<0.01).Statistical differences were also illustrated in the severity of anxiety symptoms among the selected employees with different ages,genders,ethnicities,educational levels,marital status and types of job positions(H=24.361,-3.788,28.365,24.268,25.976,56.204,P<0.01).Conclusion About one-third of employees in municipal and above administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region may have symptoms of depression and anxiety.The depression symptoms are more severe among Tibetan people,those with low education levels and ordinary civil servants.The anxiety symptoms are more severe among employees aged 30 and below,those with low education levels,unmarried and those in technical positions.

Objective:To explore the genetic etiology and clinical phenotype of Feingold syndrome due to chromosome 2p24.3p24.2 microdeletion.Methods:The clinical data of a child admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital in November 2021 and diagnosed as Feingold syndrome type 1 (FGLDS1) associated with chromosome 2p24.3p24.2 microdeletion were collected. The clinical and genetic variation characteristics of the patient were summarized, and 10 patients with chromosome 2p microdeletion reported until November 2022 were reviewed.Results:The boy was 12 years and 5 months old. He presented with backward physical development, motor development retardation, low intelligence, special body and facial appearance, finger developmental deformity and other manifestations, accompanied by hyperactivity and aggressive behavior, impulsive irritability, self-injury and other behavior problems. The proband showed normal chromosome karyotype; the genome-wide copy number variant sequencing and trio-whole exome sequencing revealed a 2.61 Mb deletion at chromosome 2p24.3p24.2 region, and 10 genes including MYCN gene (exons 1 to 3) in the deleted region.The same deletion was not found in either of his parents. The genetic features of 11 cases (including this case) with chromosome 2p microdeletion were summarized, all of whom had insufficient haploid dosage of the MYCN gene due to chromosome 2p microdeletion, and the clinical manifestations of these 11 patients matched the clinical diagnosis of FGLDS1. Conclusion:The proband is consistent with the clinical presentation of the typical Feingold syndrome, and the haploinsufficiency of the MYCN gene due to the microdeletion of chromosome 2 is the genetic etiology of the proband.

The sensitivity of cardiac troponin testing for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction(AMI)varies over time from chest pain onset.This study aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of point-of-care testing cardiac troponin T(POCT-cTnT)at different time intervals post-symptom onset to refine rapid rule-out approaches for AMI.Methods This retrospective study included 6,024 patients presenting with chest pain from January 2018 to December 2022.POCT-cTnT and central lab cTnI levels were measured on admission.Receiver operating charac-teristics analysis stratified by time windows assessed the accuracy of POCT-cTnT for diagnosing AMI.Results The overall AUC of POCT-cTnT for diagnosing AMI was 0.826(95%CI:0.816～0.836),with a sensitivity of 72.81%and a specificity of 86.26%.According to the time intervals of chest pain onset(＜3 hours,3～6 hours,6～12 hours,12～24 hours,24～72 hours,and≥72 hours),the AUC values for groups after 6～12 hours were 0.918,0.928,0.920 and 0.908,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05),but all were higher than the groups within 6 hours(P＜0.001).According to the time of chest pain onset,the AUC for the≥8h group was 0.921,with a negative predictive value(NPV)of 98.1%and a negative likelihood ratio(-LR)of 0.11.Its AUC was higher than those of the≥3 h,≥2 h,≥1 h,and overall groups(P＜0.05),but there was no statistically significant differ-ence compared with the groups after≥4 h(P＞0.05).Conclusions Chest pain onset time has a certain impact on the performance of a single POCT-cTnT test for diagnosing AMI.The duration from chest pain onset to hospital admission combined with POCT-cTnT test may improve the reliability in diagnosing AMI.Specifically,a single POCT-cTnT test at four hours after chest pain onset,especially eight hours after chest pain onset,can diagnose or exclude AMI.

learning and memory ability,and alleviate hippocampal neuronal damage.The mechanism may be related to reducing the release of inflammatory factors,increasing the level of anti-inflammatory factors,and regulating the expression of hippocampal autophagy-related proteins LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ,Beclin1 and Bcl-2.

Objective: To compare the functional changes of neurotransmitters in the dopamine ( DA) system of rats lesioned by 6-hydroxydopamine in unilateral medial forebrain bundle ( MFB) and unilateral striatum after 4 weeks of modeling． Methods : Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 62) were divided randomly into four groups : single-site model ( one site striatal lesion model，n = 18) ，four-site model ( four sites striatal lesion model，n = 18) ，MFB model (MFB lesion model，n = 18) and a sham operated control group (n = 8) ．Immunohistochemical tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) staining was used to calculate the loss rate of positive DA neurons．The functional changes of dopamine transporters(DAT) and D2 receptors in rat models of four groups were detected by radioligand-receptor binding assay in vitro，behavioral test and small-animal PET. Results : Immunohistochemical staining results of TH at 1-lesion，4-lesion and MFB model showed that the TH-positive cell loss rates of the lesion side in three models were 19. 1% ，84. 7% and 97. 1% ，respectively，indicating that the model was successfully constructed. The results of DAT / D2 receptor functions in the three models showed that，compared with the sham operated control group，the DAT binding ratio of radioactivity on the lesion side of 1-lesion，4-lesion and MFB model significantly decreased (P＜0. 05，P＜0. 05 and P＜0. 01) ．The DAT binding ratio of radioactivity on the lesion side was compared among 1，4 lesion and MFB model．It was found that the decrease degree of MFB model was significantly higher than that of the previous two models (P＜0. 01) ，and the decrease degree of 4-lesion model was significantly higher than that of 1-lesion model (P＜0. 05) ．Compared with the sham operated control group，the D2 receptor binding ratio of radioactivity on the lesion side of 1-lesion and 4-lesion model significantly decreased (P＜0. 05) ， and there was no significant difference in the degree of decrease between the two models，but the D2 receptor binding ratio of radioactivity on the lesion side of MFB model significantly increased (P＜0. 05) ．There was no difference in the distribution of DAT / D2 receptor on the lesion side and the normal side of the sham operated control group．Methamphetamine caused ipsilateral rotations to the lesion side in all models． There were no significant differences in methamphetamine-induced rotation among 1-lesion，4-lesion and MFB models．Bromocriptine caused ipsilateral rotations to the lesion side in 1-lesion and 4-lesion models but contralateral rotations in MFB model. There were no significant differences in bromocriptine-induced rotation between 1-lesion and 4-lesion models．The results of stepping test showed the motion initiation time of the lesion side was significantly longer than that of the normal side，the stepping length of the lesion side was significantly shorter than that of the normal side，and the adjusting steps of the lesion side was significantly less than that of the normal side (P＜0. 001) ，but there was no significant difference of the lesion side in the initiation time ，stepping length ，and adjusting steps among the three groups of models． Conclusion The striatal lesion and MFB lesion models showed different pathophysiological processes in terms of DA neurotransmitter functions and behavior．The MFB lesion model can mimic primary Parkinson's disease，while the striatal lesion model is similar to some Parkinson syndromes.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) in Jiangsu province during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in China from December 7, 2022 to January 27, 2023, and to analyze the influencing factors of all-cause death.Methods:It was a multi-center cross-sectional investigation. Structured questionnaire was used to collect patient information by medical staff of each hemodialysis center (room) as investigators. Part of the demography data and laboratory examination data came from the Jiangsu Province Hemodialysis Data Information System. MHD patients from hemodialysis centers (rooms) at all levels of medical institutions and independent hemodialysis institutions in Jiangsu province during the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 infection were included, and the clinical characteristics and all-cause mortality of confirmed and suspected cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection were analyzed.Results:Questionnaire surveys and data analysis on 57 278 patients in 407 hemodialysis centers (rooms) were completed, accounting for 90.41% of the total number of MHD patients (63 357 cases) in Jiangsu province during the same period. There were 24 038 cases (41.97%) of SARS-CoV-2 infection and 14 805 cases (25.85%) of suspected infection, which were widely distributed in all dialysis centers in Jiangsu province. After clinical classification of 38 843 confirmed and suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection cases, 3 662 cases were severe and critical cases, accounting for 9.43% of the infected and suspected cases. Among the patients who had completed the questionnaires, there were 1 812 all-cause deaths, with an all-cause mortality rate of 3.16%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elderly (taking ≤50 years as a reference, 51-59 years: OR=1.583, 95% CI 1.279-1.933, P=0.001; 60-69 years: OR=3.972, 95% CI 3.271-4.858, P<0.001; 70-79 years: OR=7.236, 95% CI 5.917-8.698, P<0.001; ≥80 years: OR=11.738, 95% CI 9.459-14.663, P<0.001), male ( OR=1.371, 95% CI 1.229-1.529, P<0.001), and co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) (positive serum HBV surface antigen, OR=0.629, 95% CI 0.484-0.817, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for all cause mortality. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for male, age and current HBV infection prediction of all-cause death was 0.529 ( P<0.001), 0.724 ( P<0.001) and 0.514 ( P=0.042), respectively, and the cut-off value for age prediction of all-cause death was 65.5 years old. Compared with patients without HBV infection, MHD patients with HBV infection significantly reduced the proportion of severe and critically ill patients, all-cause hospitalizations and all cause deaths when infected with SARS-CoV-2 (4.99% vs. 6.41%, χ2=6.136, P=0.013; 8.90% vs. 11.44%, χ2=11.662, P<0.001; 2.01% vs. 3.37%, χ2=10.713, P=0.001, respectively). Conclusion:The MHD patients in Jiangsu province are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Elderly age and male gender are independent risk factors for death in MHD patients during the epidemic, while the HBV infection may be a protective factor for death of MHD patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Objective To explore the features of frontotemporal lobes'resting-state functional connectivity(rsFC)in preschool children with autism spectrum disorders(ASD)based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS)and to explore the possible neurological markers for early identification of ASD.Methods Sixty-three preschool ASD children and 72 typical development(TD)children were enrolled.Selected bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(DLPFC),bilateral premotor cortex(PMC),and bilateral temporal lobe(TL)cortex as the regions of interest(ROI).Changes of Oxyhemoglobin in the 6 ROIs in resting-state were measured by using functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS).Compared the frontotemporal rsFC strength and calculate the laterality index(LI)between two groups.Results Compared with the TD group,rsFC strength was significantly lower in the ASD group(P<0.05),and the differences existed mainly within the left ROIs(0.21±0.11 vs.0.32±0.18),right ROIs(0.16±0.16 vs.0.30±0.14),bilateral DLPFCs(0.20±0.14 vs.0.39±0.17;0.15±0.13 vs.0.36±0.13),bilateral TLs(0.15±0.14 vs.0.28±0.17;0.14±0.15 vs.0.31±0.17),and between the 10 groups of ROIs-ROIs(including right DLPFC-left DLPFC,right DLPFC-right PMC,right DLPFC-left PMC,right DLPFC-right TL,right DLPFC-left TL,left DLPFC-right PMC,left DLPFC-left PMC,left DLPFC-right TL,left DLPFC-left TL,right TL-left TL).There were a significant differences in the rsFC's laterality index of DLPFC and whole-brain between the two groups(t=2.002,P=0.047;t=3.003,P=0.003),and the ASD group showed left-lateralized connectivity.Conclusion Frontotemporal lobe's resting-state functional connectivity is abnormal in preschool children with ASD,characterized by low short-range functional connectivity of bilateral DLPFCs and TLs,low long-range functional connectivity associated with DLPFCs,and left-lateralized connectivity.

In 2016, a national one million general population cohort project was set up in China for the first time in "Precision Medicine Research" Key Project, National Key Research and Development Program of China, which consists of general population cohorts in seven areas in China. As one of the seven major areas in China, northeastern China has unique climate and specific dietary patterns, and population aging is serious in this area. And the burden of chronic and non-communicable diseases ranks tops in China. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a large general population cohort in northeastern China to explore the area specific exposure factors related to pathogenesis and prognosis of chronic and non-communicable diseases, develop new prevention strategies to reduce the burden of the diseases and improve the population health in northeastern China. In July 2018, the general population cohort study in northeastern China was launched, the study includes questionnaire survey, health examination and blood, urine and stool sample collection and detection in recruited participants. By now, the cohort has covered all age groups, and the baseline data of 115 414 persons have been collected. This paper summarizes the design and practice of the general population cohort study in northeastern China to provide reference for related research in China.
