Objective:To explore the mediating role of insomnia between childhood trauma and suicide risk in middle school students.Methods:Childhood trauma questionnaire(CTQ), insomnia severity index(ISI) and suicidal behaviors questionnaire-revised(SBQ-R) were used to investigate 3 442 middle school students.According to the total score of the SBQ-R, those who scored less than or equal to 6 were divided into low suicide risk group, and those who scored more than or equal to 7 were divided into high suicide risk group.In this study, there were 2 168 students in the low suicide risk group and 1 274 students in the high suicide risk group.SPSSAU 21.0 online statistical software was used for common method deviation test, descriptive statistics, variance analysis and correlation analysis, and structural equation model was constructed, and Bootstrap method was used for mediation effect test.Results:(1) There were statistically significant differences between the high suicide risk group and the low suicide risk group in terms of grade and gender( χ2=11.144, 83.737, both P<0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in the types of childhood trauma and the severity of insomnia( χ2=292.211, 333.998, both P<0.05). (2) The total score of childhood trauma in the high suicide risk group (43.92±10.50) was higher than that in the low suicide risk group (37.74±6.93) ( F=351.78, P<0.01), and the score of insomnia in the high suicide risk group (10.66±5.54) was higher than that in the low suicide risk group (7.04±4.76) ( F=379.25, P<0.01). (3)The total score of childhood trauma was positively correlated with the score of suicide risk ( r=0.415, P<0.01), and the total score of childhood trauma was positively correlated with the score of insomnia ( r=0.306, P<0.01), and the score of insomnia was significantly positively correlated with the score of suicide risk ( r=0.399, P<0.01). After controlling for demographic data, anxiety and depression, the correlation was still significant ( P<0.01). (4) Path analysis and mediation test showed that childhood trauma had a positive effect on insomnia ( β=0.30, P<0.01), insomnia had a positive effect on suicide risk ( β=0.29, P<0.01), and childhood trauma had a positive effect on suicide risk ( β=0.33, P<0.01). The mediating effect of insomnia accounted for 21.21% of the total effect.After controlling for demographic data, anxiety and depression, the mediating effect accounted for 10.66% of the total effect. Conclusion:Childhood trauma and insomnia have a significant impact on the suicide risk among middle school students.Insomnia plays a partial mediating role between childhood trauma and middle school students' suicide risk.Timely management of the sleep disturbances of traumatized individuals can reduce the suicide risk among middle school students.

Objective:To investigate the multilocus sequence typing feature of the virulence-associated genes of Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) separated from the clinical specimens of a multi-center cohort children in Guangzhou area. Methods:A total number of 412 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from 2 059 non-repeated fecal specimens of children by three groups′ researchers in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from August 2018 to November 2018. While collecting specimens, patient clinical information is also properly collected and preserved. After extracting the DNA of the strain, the virulence-associated genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including the staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) genes ( sea, seb, sec, sed, see) and the Panton-Valentine leucocidin-encoding gene ( pvl).The multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) method was performed to reveal the MLST feature of these genes and the statistical difference were examined by the the χ 2 test. Results:Among the 412 isolates of S. aureus, 256 strains (256/412, 62.1%) contains at least one SE gene. Among the enterotoxin gens, the sec (125/412, 30.3%), seb(98/412, 23.8%)and sea (66/412, 16.0%)genes were the three most prevalent members of SEs. The frequency of pvl gene in Staphylococcus aureus was 18.7%(77/412).Among them, the frequency of Staphylococcus aureus sea gene isolated from patients with gastroenteritis (58/319, 18.2%) was significantly higher than that from the non-gastroenteritis group (8/93, 8.6%)(χ2=4.912, P=0.027). The frequency of Staphylococcus aureus pvl gene isolated from the patients with pneumonia (8/21, 38.1%) was greater than that from the non-pneumonia group (6/47, 12.8%)(χ2=4.252, P=0.039). In addition, the virulence-associated gene of S. aureus was closely related to the specific ST type, 82.4% (28/34) of ST6 carried sea gene, all ST338 and ST59 carried seb gene, 96% (48/50) ST45 carried sec gene, and the pvl gene carrying rate of ST338 was 5/5. Conclusions:The SEA toxin produced by ST6 Staphylococcus aureus may be closely related to the diagnosis of gastroenteritis in children. The frequency of pvl virulence gene in Staphylococcus aureus in children with community-acquired pneumonia was higher than that in the non-pneumonia group, and closely related to the CC59.

Objective:To investigate the willingness and influencing factors of mothers of very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to donate breast milk or accept donated breast milk.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 124 mothers of VLBWIs who were admitted to NICU of Children's Hospital of Fudan University from March to July 2019 were selected as investigation objects. The self-designed questionnaire was used to assess the willingness to donate breast milk, the willingness to accept breast milk donation and knowledge of breast milk donation. The survey was conducted by downloading the questionnaires through mobile terminals to analyze attitudes of mothers of VLBWIs towards breast milk donation and its influencing factors.Results:Among 124 mothers of VLBWIs, 51.6% (64/124) were reluctant to donate breast milk, mainly because they feared that the amount of breast milk after donation would affect the feeding of their children. 43.5% (54/124) did not want their children to receive donated breast milk, mainly because of doubts about the safety of donated breast milk. Adequate lactation was the main factor affecting the willingness to donate breast milk ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:It is necessary to strengthen the publicity and education on the safety of breastfeeding and breastmilk donation and improve the cognition of breastmilk donation.

Accelerated forgetting has been identified as a feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the therapeutic efficacy of the manipulation of biological mechanisms of forgetting has not been assessed in AD animal models. Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), a small GTPase, has been shown to regulate active forgetting in Drosophila and mice. Here, we showed that Rac1 activity is aberrantly elevated in the hippocampal tissues of AD patients and AD animal models. Moreover, amyloid-beta 42 could induce Rac1 activation in cultured cells. The elevation of Rac1 activity not only accelerated 6-hour spatial memory decay in 3-month-old APP/PS1 mice, but also significantly contributed to severe memory loss in aged APP/PS1 mice. A similar age-dependent Rac1 activity-based memory loss was also observed in an AD fly model. Moreover, inhibition of Rac1 activity could ameliorate cognitive defects and synaptic plasticity in AD animal models. Finally, two novel compounds, identified through behavioral screening of a randomly selected pool of brain permeable small molecules for their positive effect in rescuing memory loss in both fly and mouse models, were found to be capable of inhibiting Rac1 activity. Thus, multiple lines of evidence corroborate in supporting the idea that inhibition of Rac1 activity is effective for treating AD-related memory loss.
