BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders exhibit abnormalities in perceptual processing. Previous perceptual studies are mainly based on asking participants to fill in a questionnaire, and little research has been undertaken on objective behavior in patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders. ObjectiveTo explore the behavioral changes in vibrotactile sense among patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders, so as to enrich relevant findings in objective behavioral research. MethodsFrom March 2021 to September 2023, 33 patients with schizophrenia and 31 patients with depressive disorders in the outpatient and inpatient departments of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria were enrolled. And another 34 healthy controls were concurrently recruited at Beihang University and Beijing Huilongguan Hospital. Patients with schizophrenia were assessed using Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), and patients with depressive disorders were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17). The vibrotactile sensitivity of the left hand in all participants was tested in a delay match-to-sample procedure, and the correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task was compared among the three groups. ResultsCompared with healthy controls, a reduction was found in the correct rates at index finger, middle finger and ring finger in patients with schizophrenia (P<0.01), the average correct rate at five fingers in patients with schizophrenia (P=0.001), and the correct rate at thumb in patients with depressive disorders (P=0.026). No statistical difference was reported in correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task between patients with depression disorders and schizophrenia (P>0.05). The average correct rate of vibrotactile sense in schizophrenia group was not significantly correlated with the duration of disease, age of onset, chlorpromazine equivalent doses and PANSS score (r=0.058、0.045、0.114、-0.194, P>0.05). The average correct rate in depressive group was negatively correlated with age of onset (r=-0.415, P=0.020), but not significantly correlated with the duration of disease and HAMD-17 score (r=-0.044, 0.142, P>0.05). ConclusionPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders have impaired vibrotactile sense. The vibrotactile sense is impaired in index, middle and ring fingers among patients with schizophrenia, and in thumbs of patients with depressive disorders. Moreover, the impairment in patients with depressive disorders may be related to the age of onset. [Funded by 2023 Hebei Provincial Graduate Innovation Funding Project (number, CXZZSS2023140)]

BACKGROUND:
Pneumonia-like primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) was commonly misdiagnosed as infectious pneumonia, leading to delayed treatment. The purpose of this study was to establish a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model to differentiate pneumonia-like PPL from infectious pneumonia.
METHODS:
In this retrospective study, 79 patients with pneumonia-like PPL and 176 patients with infectious pneumonia from 12 medical centers were enrolled. Patients from center 1 to center 7 were assigned to the training or validation cohort, and the remaining patients from other centers were used as the external test cohort. Radiomics features were extracted from CT images. A three-step procedure was applied for radiomics feature selection and radiomics signature building, including the inter- and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs), a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify the significant clinicoradiological variables and construct a clinical factor model. Two radiologists reviewed the CT images for the external test set. Performance of the radiomics model, clinical factor model, and each radiologist were assessed by receiver operating characteristic, and area under the curve (AUC) was compared.
RESULTS:
A total of 144 patients (44 with pneumonia-like PPL and 100 infectious pneumonia) were in the training cohort, 38 patients (12 with pneumonia-like PPL and 26 infectious pneumonia) were in the validation cohort, and 73 patients (23 with pneumonia-like PPL and 50 infectious pneumonia) were in the external test cohort. Twenty-three radiomics features were selected to build the radiomics model, which yielded AUCs of 0.95 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.94-0.99), 0.93 (95% CI: 0.85-0.98), and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.87-0.99) in the training, validation, and external test cohort, respectively. The AUCs for the two readers and clinical factor model were 0.74 (95% CI: 0.63-0.83), 0.72 (95% CI: 0.62-0.82), and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.62-0.84) in the external test cohort, respectively. The radiomics model outperformed both the readers' interpretation and clinical factor model ( P <0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The CT-based radiomics model may provide an effective and non-invasive tool to differentiate pneumonia-like PPL from infectious pneumonia, which might provide assistance for clinicians in tailoring precise therapy.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of self-hating in the influence of adverse childhood experiences on adolescents' negative emotions.Methods:A questionnaire method was used to collect demographic variables, and 7 012 valid questionnaires were obtained from adolescents by applying the revised adverse childhood experiences questionnaire, patient health questionnaire-4, and self-hate scale from May 1 to May 30, 2022, in five high schools(90 classes) and five junior high schools(60 classes) in Rizhao city, Shandong province, China. Data entry and analysis were performed by SPSS 22.0 software.Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison between demographic variables and other variables, and the correlations between variables were expressed by Spearman correlation coefficient. AMOS 23.0 software was applied for testing the mediating and moderating effects of variables. Results:(1)There were significant positive correlations between adverse childhood experiences(0(2)) and negative emotion(3(10))( r=0.459, P<0.01), self-hating(2(4))( r=0.427, P<0.01). There were significant positive correlations between self-hating and negative emotion( r=0.566, P<0.01). (2) Self-hating played a mediating role between adverse childhood experience and adolescent negative emotion, and the mediating effect was 0.299, accounted for 61.27% of the total effect.(3) The mediating pathway of self-hated was moderated by gender, with girls' adverse childhood experiences( Bsimple=2.428, t=39.585, P<0.05) predicting self-hating more than boys( Bsimple=1.641, t=25.355, P<0.05). Conclusion:Adverse childhood experiences can predict adolescents' negative emotions, and self-disgusting can also affect adolescents' negative emotions.Gender plays a moderating role in the mediating pathway.

ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between objective sleep quality and cognitive function in remission depression patients with insomnia. MethodsA total of 47 patients with depression in remission in Beijing Huilongguan Hospital were enrolled. Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the sleep efficiency calculated by the first four items of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were defined as insomnia. Among the selected patients, 22 subjects were classified into insomnia group, and 25 subjects in non-insomnia group. The objective sleep status of all subjects was evaluated by polysomnography (PSG), and the cognitive function was evaluated with the Repeatable Battery for Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). A regression model was established to explore the relationship between objective sleep quality and cognitive function in remission depression patients with insomnia. ResultsThere was statistically significant difference in immediate memory factor scores of RBANS between depression patients in remission with and without insomnia (t=-2.102, P<0.05). The sleep efficiency (Z=-2.113, P<0.05), the proportion of N3 sleep stage (Z=-3.175, P<0.01) and the duration of N3 sleep stage (Z=-3.196, P<0.01) in insomnia group were all lower than those in non-insomnia group, and the nocturnal awakening (Z=-2.058, P<0.01), the proportion of N1 sleep stage (Z=-2.399, P<0.05) and the duration of N1 sleep stage (Z=-2.463, P<0.05) were higher than those of the insomnia group. Within insomnia group, the increased proportion of REM sleep was correlated with the improvement of attention function (β=0.953, 95% CI: 0.123~2.038, P<0.05), and the increase of nocturnal awakening was correlated with the decline of delayed memory (β=-0.173, 95% CI: -0.325~-0.024, P<0.05). ConclusionObjective sleep is associated with cognitive impairment in remission depression patients with insomnia, the proportion of REM sleep has a positive impact on attention function, and frequent nocturnal awakening at night has a negative impact on delayed memory.

Objective:
To explore the relationship among cognitive flexibility, depression and eating attitude of adolescents and the influencing factors of eating attitude.
Methods:
A total of 1 231 subjects were assessed using general information questionnaire, Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale 11 item(KADS-11), Cognitive Flexibility Inventory(CFI), Eating Attitude Test 26(EAT-26). Data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, univariate linear regression, spearman correlation analysis and Logistic regression.
Results:
There were significant differences in EAT 26 among adolescents between genders and between those with or without depression(P<0.01). Statistically significant differences were observed in CFI, flexible control and KADS 11 among adolescents with or without eating disorders(P<0.01). The scores of EAT 26 was negatively correlated with CFI (r=-0.19, P<0.01) and flexible control(r=-0.23, P<0.01). And there was a significant positive correlation between EAT 26 and KADS 11(r=0.23, P<0.01). Female(OR=2.40, 95%CI=1.87-3.23), depression (OR=1.76, 95%CI=1.35-2.29) and poor flexible control (OR=1.94, 95%CI=1.48-2.54) were risk factors for eating disorders.
Conclusion
Female, individuals with depressive symptoms or with poor flexible control ability are more likely to have eating disorders which need more attention.

Inflammatory response is an effective host defense mechanism to eliminate pathogens at the site of infection. The regression phase of inflammation mainly maintains the stable environment in tissues. Pro-inflammatory regression mediators (SPMs) are endogenous anti-inflammatory molecules, which play an important role in reducing excessive tissue damage and chronic inflammation. This paper reviews the interaction between SPMs and immune cells in inflammatory sites. By reviewing the relevant literature, it was found that SPMs regulate the components of innate and adaptive immune system, including neutrophils, macrophages, innate lymphocytes, natural killer cells and T cells.
