Objective:To investigate grey matter volume changes and their correlation with the severity of anxiety in adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) accompanied by anxious distress specifier (ADS).Methods:From June 2022 to June 2023, totally 71 inpatients with MDD in the child and adolescent psychiatry department of Anhui Mental Health Center were included. According to the definition of ADS in the DSM-5, MDD adolescents were divided into the group with anxious distress (MDD/ADS+ group, n=44) and the group without anxious distress (MDD/ADS- group, n=27). Healthy adolescents matched in terms of gender, age, education level were recruited as the control group (HC group, n=19). Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was used to compare changes in grey matter volume among the three groups.Grey matter volume values of brain regions with significant differences between the MDD/ADS+ group and MDD/ADS- group were collected, and their correlation with Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA) score were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS 26.0 software. Results:Compared to the MDD/ADS- group, the MDD/ADS+ group showed a significant decrease in grey matter volume in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (MNI: x=16.5, y=34.5, z=52.5, t=4.48, P<0.05) and the right cerebellum (MNI: x=49.5, y=-69.0, z=-24.0, t=5.18, P<0.05). In MDD adolescents, the grey matter volumes of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the right cerebellum were negatively correlated with HAMA score ( r=-0.249, -0.491, both P<0.05). Conclusion:In adolescents with MDD accompanied by ADS, a decrease in gray matter volume is observed in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the right superior cerebellum. These brain regions may serve as potential biological markers for the severity of anxiety in adolescents with MDD.

ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of stroke, and to provide reference for the prevention and health management of stroke. MethodsFrom February 2022 to March 2022, four community residents over 60 years old with stroke in Shanghai were randomly selected as the case group (n=100), and non-stroke residents were selected as the control group (n=100). The survey was in the form of questionnaires to record and compare the age, body mass index (BMI), blood lipids, blood pressure-related indicators, family history of other diseases, living habits, mood and sleep conditions of all subjects. The value of predicting the incidence of stroke among the elderly in Shanghai community was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC), and the influencing factors of stroke were analyzed by logistic model. ResultsBMI, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, transient ischemic attack (TIA), dyslipidemia, family history of stroke, smoking, lack of exercise or only light physical labor, SBP, DBP, TG levels were significantly higher in the case group (P<0.05). The level of HDL-C was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). BMI, SBP, DBP, TG, HDL-C predicted the incidence of stroke by ROC analysis (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI≥23.820 kg·m-2, heart disease, diabetes, TIA, dyslipidemia, family history of stroke, smoking, lack of exercise or only light physical labor, SBP≥139.535 mmHg, DBP≥89.605 mmHg, TG≥1.565 mmol·L-1 and HDL-C≤1.105 mmol·L-1 were risk factors for stroke (P<0.05). ConclusionPhysical health status including blood lipids and blood pressure, family history of certain diseases, and living habits could be important risk factors for stroke in the elderly in Shanghai community. Preventive intervention measures for the above factors have important clinical significance.

Objective:To explore the difference of theory of mind between adolescent depressive disorder patients with and without suicide attempt and its correlation with depression severity.Methods:From September 2019 to April 2021, totally 56 cases of attempted suicide adolescent depression patients(suicide attempted group), and 78 non-attempted suicide adolescent depression patients (non-suicide attempted group) and 23 healthy controls (healthy control group) with matched sex, age and years of education were included.The 17-item Hamilton depression scale(HAMD-17) and mini-international neuropsychiatric interview (M. I. N. I. ) were evaluated in all the subjects for depression severity and suicide trait related clinical psychological scale, theory of mind-picture sequencing task (ToM-PST) includes primary belief, primary false belief, secondary belief, secondary false belief, third-level false belief, sense of reality, reciprocity, deception and deception detection, which were used to test the theory of mind of the three groups. SPSS 25.0 software was used to statistically analyze the data, compare the differences of ToM of the three groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between ToM of the attempted suicide group and the clinical behavior scale.Results:The suicide attempted group was significantly lower in understanding primary false belief ((2.46±0.63) vs (2.87±0.46)) than the healthy control group( P<0.05), and the understanding of deception((2.84±0.42) vs (2.63±0.61)) was significantly higher than the non-suicide attempted group( P<0.05), and the non-suicide attempted group was significantly lower in understanding primary false belief((2.48±0.72) vs ( 2.87±0.46)) and ToM total scores((50.86±6.60) vs (54.91±5.12)) than the healthy control group(both P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the secondary false belief of the attempted suicide group were negatively correlated with the cognitive impairment( r=-0.267, P<0.05), and third-level false belief was negatively correlated with the cognitive impairment, retardation, and depressiontotal score( r=-0.331, r=-0.319, r=-0.269, all P<0.05). There was no significant correlation between primary belief, primary false belief, secondary belief, sense of reality, reciprocity, deception, deception detection, total score of picture ranking, total score of ToM and depression in suicide attempt group(all P>0.05). Conclusion:The ability to understand deception is different between depression adolescents with and without suicide attempt, and it is not correlated with the severity of depression.

Objective:To explore the correlation among childhood trauma, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and implicit and explicit memory in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD).Methods:Fifty-two OCD patients were enrolled, and the childhood trauma was investigated by using the childhood trauma questionnaire short-form(CTQ-SF). The degree of obsessive-compulsive symptoms was assessed by using the Yale-Brown obsessive symptoms scale (Y-BOCS). In addition, the abilities of implicit memory and explicit memory were tested by vocabulary perception speed tasks and vocabulary recognition tasks.According to the scores of CTQ-SF, the patients were divided into abuse group( n=26) and neglect group( n=26). SPSS 22.0 software was used for t-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:Results of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, implicit memory, and explicit memory showed no differences between the abuse group and the neglect group( t=-1.959-1.839, P>0.05). The scores of obsessions symptoms(12.52±4.61) were positively correlated with the total scores of CTQ-SF (40.10±10.20)( r=0.331, P<0.05). On the subscale, the scores of obsessions were positively correlated with the scores of physical abuse(7.89±3.02), sexual abuse(6.47±2.28)( r=0.373, P<0.01, r=0.356, P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the scores of physical abuse and the accuracy of explicit memory(68.75±13.33)( r=-0.281, P<0.05). The scores of physical neglect(8.98±2.67) was positively correlated with implicit memory response time(4 285.94±2 067.42)( r=0.314, P<0.05). Conclusion:Obsessions in patients with OCD are related to traumatic childhood experiences, especially physical abuse and sexual abuse.Physical trauma may influence the level of implicit and explicit memory in patients with OCD.

Objective:To explore the difference of brain structure between patients with early-onset depression with and without suicidal ideation and its relationship with the severity of depression.Methods:Totally 37 patients with early-onset depressive disorder with suicidal ideation and 23 patients with early-onset depressive disorder without suicidal ideation were examined by psychological assessment and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)from 2019 to 2020.Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) technology was used to compare the differences in brain structure between the two groups of subjects, and further analyze the relationship between the gray matter volume of the different brain areas and the severity of depression. The demographic and clinical data were analyzed by SPSS 24.0 statistical software package. The comparison between the two groups was performed by double sample t-test and chi square test. SPM8 software was used for VBM statistical analysis, and double sample t test was used for image analysis and comparison between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was performed between the mean gray matter volume of the two groups and the scores of HAMD-17 and Beck scale for suicide ideation(BSI). Results:Compared with the group without suicide ideation, the volume of gray matter in the right middle frontal gyrus(MNI: x, y, z=28.5, 33.0, 43.5, FWE correction for mass level, P<0.05)and left angular gyrus of the suicide idea group increased(MNI: x, y, z=-37.5, -73.5, 48.0, FWE correction for mass level, P<0.05). There was no significant correlation between the gray matter volume of the right middle frontal gyrus and the HAMD-17 scale, BSI scale in patients with early-onset depression ( r=0.073, r=-0.153, both P>0.05). Conclusion:There are structural differences in the right middle frontal gyrus and left angular gyrus between patients with early-onset depression with suicidal ideation and patients with early-onset depression without suicidal ideation, and there was no significant correlation between gray matter volume and depression severity.

ObjectiveTo analyze the coping style and its relationship with anxiety status among middle school students aged 13 to 18 in Anhui province during the COVID-19 epidemic. MethodsFrom February 13 to 19, 2020, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among middle school students in Anhui province by using convenience sampling method and network questionnaire. The assessment tools included the Coping Style Scale for Middle School Students (CSSMSS) and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). ResultsThe results of the CSSMSS evaluation showed that female students scored higher in emotion abreaction than male students [(8.27±2.98) vs. (7.84±2.91)]. The scores of tolerance [(9.74±2.73) vs. (9.11±2.60)], escape [(7.82±2.79) vs. (7.26±2.44)], emotion abreaction [(8.48±2.97) vs. (7.91±2.93)] and fantasy/denial [(9.79±3.56) vs. (9.26±3.47)] of senior high school students were higher than those of junior high school students, and the score of problem solving [(19.38±4.07) vs. (20.33±4.54)] was lower than that of junior high school students, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or 0.01). Correlation analysis results showed that the scores of tolerance, escape, emotion abreaction and fantasy/deny in CSSMSS were positively correlated with the scores of SCARED of middle school students in Anhui province (r=0.348, 0.287, 0.390, 0.501, P<0.01). ConclusionDuring COVID-19 epidemic, students of different genders and grades in Anhui province have different coping styles, and some coping styles may induce anxiety status.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of attentional bias in adolescents with anxiety disorder.Methods:Totally 40 adolescents with anxiety disorder who met the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria were recruited as the case group, 40 normal adolescents matched with the case group in terms of gender, age and education level were served as the control group.Symptom was assessed by the screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders (SCARED), and attention bias was assessed by attention bias test on both groups.All data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0.Results:(1) In the test of attentional bias, the negative reaction of the case group was lower than the neutral response((647.14±94.44)ms, (661.08±112.07)ms), and the attention bias value of the case group was higher than the control group((13.93±33.27)ms, (-0.13±18.49)ms), the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). (2) In the total score and each factor score of SCARED, total score of SCARED was negatively correlated with the negative accuracy rate ( r=-0.38), and the separation anxiety score was negatively correlated with the negative accuracy rate ( r=-0.52), social terrorism scores were negatively correlated with negative accuracy ( r=-0.45) and neutral accuracy ( r=-0.43) (all P<0.05). The correlation between somatization, generalized anxiety and school terror with attention bias test were not significant( P>0.05). Conclusion:Adolescents with anxiety disorder are more concerned with negative stimuli, and it is difficult to shift attention from negative stimuli to others.The avoidance to neutral stimuli may be a risk factor for the severity of symptoms in adolescents with anxiety disorders.

Objective To obtain methamphetamine concentration profiles in saliva and urine samples of drug addicts and to screen the colloidal gold strip. Methods Methamphetamine concentration in saliva and urine samples of drug addicts was determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The initial screening was obtained by colloidal gold strip test. The results were compared and analyzed. Results using the method of protein and fluid MRM scan method to detect direct precipitation, saliva is linear in the range of 1~100ng/mL, the linear correlation coefficient is 0.9987, the detection limit is 0.1ng/mL, the limit of quantification was 1ng/mL, the urine is linear in the range of 1~100ng/mL, the linear correlation coefficient is 0.9943, the detection limit is 0.5ng/mL, the limit of quantification was 1ng/mL. Saliva and urine samples diluted, the concentration in the linear range. Saliva and urine samples of four types of methamphetamine colloidal gold reagent strip were screened directly, and the results were judged visually. Conclusion the detection rate of colloidal gold strip is about 79%, the detection rate of saliva is about 81%, and the detection rate can be increased to more than 93% by using two reagent strips. Combined with the initial screening results and the instrument confirmation concentration, it can be found that the gray zone setting and sensitivity setting have certain influence on the detection rate, and it is suggested to improve the sensitivity to meet the needs of screening.
