BackgroundCurrently， the problem of depressed mood in college students is becoming more prominent. The experience of childhood maltreatment is a significant contributor to depression among college students. Although the association between the two has been confirmed， the specific psychosocial mechanisms underlying how childhood maltreatment affects college students' mental health remain insufficiently evidenced. ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and depression among college students， and to investigate the moderated effects of psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status， aiming to provide references for improving depressive symptoms in college students. MethodsOn 14 March 2024， a cluster sampling method was employed to recruit 751 college students from a university in Heilongjiang Province. Participants were assessed with Childhood Trauma Questionnaire （CTQ）， Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale （DERS）， Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC-10） and Family Socioeconomic Status Questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation between the scores of scales. Model 4 and model 7 in Process 4.2 were used to test the mediating effects of emotional regulation difficulties and the moderated effects of psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status. Results① A total of 712 （94.81%） valid questionnaires were collected. ② College students' CTQ score was positively correlated with DERS score and PHQ-9 score （r=0.296， 0.507， P<0.01）， and negatively correlated with CD-RISC-10 score and Family Socioeconomic Status Questionnaire score （r=-0.148， -0.229， P<0.01）. ③ The indirect effect value of difficulties in emotion regulation on the relationship between childhood maltreatment and depression was 0.091 （95% CI： 0.018~0.046）， accounting for 17.95% of the total effect. ④ The first half of the mediation model "childhood maltreatment → difficulties in emotion regulation → depression" （childhood maltreatment → difficulties in emotion regulation） was moderated by psychological resilience （β=-0.030， t=-6.147， 95% CI： -0.040~-0.020） and family socioeconomic status （β=-0.051， t=-3.929， 95% CI： -0.077~-0.026）. ConclusionChildhood maltreatment exerts both a direct effect on college students' depression and an indirect effect through emotion regulation difficulties. The childhood maltreatment → emotion regulation difficulties pathway in this mediation model is moderated by psychological resilience and family socioeconomic status. ［Funded by Qiqihar Medical University Graduate Student Innovation Fund Project （number， QYYCX2023-48）； Special Research Fund Project for Young Doctors of Qiqihar Academy of Medical Sciences （number， QMSI2021B-08）］

Objective To assess the value of cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)imaging for predicting adverse left ventricular remodeling in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and serial CMR(cine and LGE sequences)images of 86 STEMI patients within 1 week and 5 months after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),including 25 patients with adverse LV remodeling and 61 without adverse LV remodeling,defined as an increase of left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV)over 15%at the second CMR compared to the initial CMR.The CMR images were analyzed for LV volume,infarct characteristics,and global and infarct zone myocardial function.The independent predictors of adverse LV remodeling following STEMI were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression methods.Results The initial CMR showed no significant differences in LV volume or LV ejection fraction(LVEF)between the two groups,but the infarct mass and microvascular obstructive(MVO)mass were significantly greater in adverse LV remodeling group(P<0.05).Myocardial injury and cardiac function of the patients recovered over time in both groups.At the second CMR,the patients with adverse LV remodeling showed a significantly lower LVEF,a larger left ventricular end-systolic volume index(LVESVI)and a greater extent of infarct mass(P<0.001)with lower global peak strains and strain rates in the radial,circumferential,and longitudinal directions(P<0.05),infarct zone peak strains in the 3 directions,and infarct zone peak radial and circumferential strain rates(P<0.05).The independent predictors for adverse LV remodeling following STEMI included the extent of infarct mass(AUC=0.793,95%CI:0.693-0.873;cut-off value:30.67%),radial diastolic peak strain rate(AUC=0.645,95%CI:0.534-0.745;cut-off value:0.58%),and RAAS inhibitor(AUC= 0.699,95%CI:0.590-0.793).Conclusion The extent of infarct mass,peak radial diastolic strain rate,and RAAS inhibitor are independent predictors of adverse LV remodeling following STEMI.

Objective:To explore the relationship between gene mutation in the pre-C region of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) associated with hepatitis B.Methods:Fifty-eight patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) admitted to the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army from May 2020 to May 2023 were selected as the CHB group, 51 patients with chronic hepatitis B liver cirrhosis (CHB-LC) were selected as the CHB-LC group, and 52 patients with hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure were selected as the ACLF group. The clinicopathological data of the three groups were collected for retrospective analysis. Peripheral serum HBV DNA of the three groups was collected. The pre-C region genes of HBV in the three groups were amplified by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and then gene sequencing was performed. The variation at position 1896 of the pre-C region gene of HBV in the three groups was recorded. The general data, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), HBV DNA quantification, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and gene mutation in the pre-C region of the three groups were observed and compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed on the related influencing factors of the onset of hepatitis B-related ACLF.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, disease course, body mass index (BMI), TG, TC, and BUN among the three groups (all P>0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in HBeAg, HBV DNA quantification, ALT, and AST among the three groups (all P<0.05). The HBV DNA quantification, ALT, and AST in the ACLF group were higher than those in the CHB group and the CHB-LC group (all P<0.05). The mutation rate at position 1896 of the pre-C region gene of HBV in the ACLF group was higher than that in the CHB group and the CHB-LC group (all P<0.05); The results of logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that HBV DNA quantification, ALT, and gene mutation in the pre-C region were independent influencing factors for the onset of hepatitis B-related ACLF ( OR=1.042, 1.570, 1.413, P<0.05). Conclusions:The variation at position 1896 of the pre-C region gene of HBV is common in patients with HBV infection at different disease courses. The incidence of its variation shows a gradually increasing trend in CHB, CHB-LC, and ACLF. Elevated HBV DNA and ALT and gene mutation in the pre-C region of HBV are independent risk factors for the occurrence of hepatitis B-related ACLF. The progress of the disease in such patients requires clinical attention.

Objective To assess the value of cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)imaging for predicting adverse left ventricular remodeling in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and serial CMR(cine and LGE sequences)images of 86 STEMI patients within 1 week and 5 months after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),including 25 patients with adverse LV remodeling and 61 without adverse LV remodeling,defined as an increase of left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV)over 15%at the second CMR compared to the initial CMR.The CMR images were analyzed for LV volume,infarct characteristics,and global and infarct zone myocardial function.The independent predictors of adverse LV remodeling following STEMI were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression methods.Results The initial CMR showed no significant differences in LV volume or LV ejection fraction(LVEF)between the two groups,but the infarct mass and microvascular obstructive(MVO)mass were significantly greater in adverse LV remodeling group(P<0.05).Myocardial injury and cardiac function of the patients recovered over time in both groups.At the second CMR,the patients with adverse LV remodeling showed a significantly lower LVEF,a larger left ventricular end-systolic volume index(LVESVI)and a greater extent of infarct mass(P<0.001)with lower global peak strains and strain rates in the radial,circumferential,and longitudinal directions(P<0.05),infarct zone peak strains in the 3 directions,and infarct zone peak radial and circumferential strain rates(P<0.05).The independent predictors for adverse LV remodeling following STEMI included the extent of infarct mass(AUC=0.793,95%CI:0.693-0.873;cut-off value:30.67%),radial diastolic peak strain rate(AUC=0.645,95%CI:0.534-0.745;cut-off value:0.58%),and RAAS inhibitor(AUC= 0.699,95%CI:0.590-0.793).Conclusion The extent of infarct mass,peak radial diastolic strain rate,and RAAS inhibitor are independent predictors of adverse LV remodeling following STEMI.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of psoriasis and status quo of medical care for patients in county areas of China.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional investigation. Based on the “Qianxian Wuyin” Project (a national project for upgrating ability for psoriasis care at county level), an online questionnaire survey was conducted in the dermatology departments of 459 county hospitals in 404 pilot administrative counties across China from February to June 2023. The questionnaire included demographic information of patients (gender, ethnicity, age, place of residence, education, marital status), and clinical characteristics of psoriasis (disease course, type, comorbidities, body surface area (BSA) and previous treatment. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) were applied for assessing the quality of life and disease severity, and completed by patients or guardian and doctors, respectively.Results:A total of 16 935 patients completed the questionnaire. The age of patients was 1-102(44.17±11.58)years, and 71.0% (12 036/16 935) were 30-59 years old. The ratio of male to female was 2.21∶1; 24.3%(4 117/16 935) of patients had high school education; there were 9 940 patients(58.7%) with previous or current smoking and/or alcohol use; 42.8%(7 218/16 855) of patients had a disease course of 1-5 years. There were 15 630 patients(92.3%) with DLQI≥10, 8 346 patients(49.7%) with PASI≥10, 15 017 patients(89.2%) with BSA≥10%. The plaque type was the most common disease type ( n=14 965, 88.7%), and spotting type ranked the second ( n=1 141, 6.8%). The most common initial site was the trunk ( n=12 309, 72.9%). Among the comorbidities, hypertension was the most common one ( n=1 681, 10.0%). There were 7 650 reports of treatment response to conventional topical drug therapy and 3 112 reports of treatment response to systemic drug therapy, with 6 269 (81.9%) and 2 493 (80.1%) reporting poor or no response, respectively. Conclusions:The survey shows that in the county areas of China, the majority of psoriasis patients are severe patients with short course of disease, plaque type is the most common type, and hypertension is the most common comorbidity; and the conventional treatment is less effective for most patients.

OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively assess cardiac functions in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using cardiac magnetic resonance-feature tracking (CMR-FT) technique and evaluate the prognostic value of CMR-FT in patients with CA. METHODS: We retrospectively collected the data from 31 CA patients with systemic amyloidosis confirmed by Congo red staining and serum immunohistochemistry after extracardiac tissue biopsy undergoing CMR at our hospital from March, 2013 to June, 2021.Thirty-one age and gender matched patients with asymmetric left ventricular wall hypertrophy and 31 healthy individuals without organic or functional heart disease served as the controls.Radial, circumferential and longitudinal strains and strain rates of the left ventricle at the global level and in each myocardial segment (basal, middle and apical) were obtained with CMR-FT technique and compared among the 3 groups.The predictive value of myocardial strains and strain rates for all-cause mortality in CA patients was analyzed using a stepwise COX regression model. RESULTS: The left ventricular volume, myocardial mass, ejection fraction and cardiac output differed significantly among the groups (P < 0.05).Except for apical longitudinal strain, the global and segmental strains were all significantly lower in CA group than in HCM group (P < 0.05).The global and segmental strains were all significantly lower in CA group than in the healthy individuals (P < 0.05).The basal strain rates in the 3 directions were significantly lower in CA group than in the healthy individuals (P < 0.05), but the difference in apical strain rates was not statistically significant between the two groups.Multivariate stepwise COX analysis showed that troponin T (HR=1.05, 95%CI: 1.01-1.10, P=0.017) and middle peak diastolic circumferential strain rate (HR=6.87, 95%CI: 1.52-31.06, P=0.012) were strong predictors of death in CA patients. CONCLUSION Strain and strain rate parameters derived from CMR-FT based on cine sequences are new noninvasive imaging markers for assessing cardiac impairment in CA and cardiac function changes in HCM, and provide independent predictive information for all-cause mortality in CA patients.

Objective: Understanding mental health status of students with learning disabilities in Beijing to provide a basis for mental health promotion of students with learning disabilities. Methods: By means of random cluster sampling, 5 787 enrolled students in grade one and grade two of 11 public junior middle schools in Beijing were selected as the survey subjects. A self designed questionnaire was used to investigate the students’ learning disabilities and mental health status through anonymous self filling. Results: About 11.6% students self reported learning disabilities. The proportions of students with learning difficulty in mathematical reasoning and calculation were higher, 44.1% and 40.7% respectively. The reported rate of mental health problems was 38.3%. The top four of the 10 symptoms were obsessive compulsive symptoms, learning pressure, emotional instability and anxiety(2.19±0.77)(2.17±0.99)(2.09±0.90)(2.07±1.08). Compared with students without learning disabilities, students with self reported learning disabilities had poorer mental health status(OR=1.47), and learning disabilities were related to most factors of mental health. Different types of learning disabilities were associated with different mental health factors. Conclusion Mental health problems of students with learning disabilities are higher than that of students without learning disabilities. It is necessary to strengthen the mental health support for students with learning disabilities and improve their mental health.

Objective To investigate the changes of platelet reactivity and its influencing factors after aspirin treatment in patients with ischemic stroke complicated with diabetes. Methods From September 2016to December 2017, patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, Weihai Municipal Hospital within 24 h of onset were enrolled. All patients took aspirin (100 mg/d) within 24 h ofadmission, and after taking the drug (7 ±2 d), the PL-11 platelet function analyzer was used to determine the maximum platelet aggregation ratio (MAR) induced by arachidonic acid (AA). The baseline data of the patients were documented. The factors affecting high platelet reactivity (HPR) were analyzed. Results A total of 398 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 137 in the diabetes group and 261 in the non-diabetes group. MARAA (43. 45％ ± 14. 11％ vs. 31. 55％ ± 19. 39％; t = 6. 996, P < 0. 001) and the incidence of HPR (34. 3％ vs. 19. 9％; χ2 = 9. 946, P = 0. 002) in the diabetes group were significantly higher than in those in the non-diabetes group. Of the 137 patients with ischemic stroke complicated with diabetes, 47 had HPR. The proportions of patients with hyperlipidemia, previous history of stroke or transient ischemic attack and baseline NIHSS score, HOMA-IR (homeostatis model assessment-insulin resistance),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fasting blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin in the HPR group were significantly higher than those in the non-HPR group (all P < 0. 05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR (odds ratio [OR] 1. 153, 95％ confidence interval [CI] 1. 027-1. 295; P =0. 016), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (OR 9. 416, 95％ CI 2. 271-39. 049; P = 0. 002), fasting blood glucose (OR 1. 125, 95％ CI 1. 025-1. 235; P = 0. 013), and glycosylated hemoglobin (OR 1. 458, 95％ CI 1. 170-1. 816; P = 0. 001) were the independent risk factors for HPR. Conclusion The platelet reactivity during aspirin therapy in patients with ischemic stroke complicated with diabetes mellitus was high, and platelet activity was associated with multiple mechanisms, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia.

Objective To observe the changes of spleen volume in patients with acute cerebral infarction, and to explore the relationship between the spleen volume and platelet reactivity , inflammatory factors'lymphocyte subsets.Methods This is a case control study.Thirty patients with acute cerebral infarction from January 2017 to June 2017 in Department of Neurology , Weihai Municipal Hospital were included.The spleen volume, arachidonic acid-induced maximum platelet aggregation ratio ( AA-MAR), interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and lymphocyte subsets of patients were monitored in 24 hours of stroke, at 48 hours of stroke, at four days of stroke and at seven days of stroke.Twenty patients without acute cerebral infarction with the same baseline data were selected as the control group , to determine the baseline of spleen volume, AA-MAR, IFN-γand lymphocyte subsets.A t test was used to describe the changes of spleen volume, AA-MAR, IFN-γand lymphocyte subsets at different time points , and Pearson's correlation analysis was used to estimate the relationship between the spleen volume and these variables .Results Compared with the control group ((120.12 ±10.28) cm3), the patients with acute cerebral infarction in 24 hours of stroke ((117.48 ±7.93) cm3) and at 48 hours of stroke ((111.61 ±9.21) cm3) had smaller spleen volume (t＝-2.142, P＜0.05; t＝-2.790, P＜0.01), whereas at four days ((121.31 ±8.16) cm3) and seven days of stroke ((126.11 ±10.31) cm3) had bigger spleen volume (t＝2.242, P＜0.05;t＝2.762, P＜0.01), with the spleen volume decreased first and increased later.Compared with the control group, the patients with acute cerebral infarction had more AA-MAR (control group:20.97%±8.21%;24 h:31.86%±9.54%,t＝3.165,P＜0.01;48 h:41.38%±8.55%,t＝3.254,P＜0.01;4 d:35.34%± 8.15%, t＝3.203,P＜0.01;7 d:29.38% ±10.46%,t＝2.494,P＜0.05) and IFN-γ(pg/L, control group:15.21 ±5.21;24 h:29.75 ±4.57,t＝3.262,P＜0.01;48 h:43.37 ±12.15,t＝3.304,P＜0.01;4 d:40.44 ±9.86, t＝3.291,P＜0.01;7 d:20.93 ±5.51, t＝2.417,P＜0.05) at different time points, with the most AA-MAR at 48 hours of onset, and the most IFN-γat four days of stroke.Compared with the control group, the patients with acute cerebral infarction had more T 4, B lymphocytes and natural killer lymphocytes at the four time points , while the level of T8lymphocytes did not show statistically significant difference even though also increased at the four time points.The correlation analysis results showed that in patients with acute cerebral infarction , the level of AA-MAR (r＝-0.397, P＜0.05; r＝-0.515, P＜0.01; r＝-0.382, P＜0.05) and IFN-γ(r＝-0.408, P＜0.05; r＝-0.479, P＜0.01; r＝-0.378, P＜0.05) was negatively corelated with the spleen volume in 24 hours of onset, at 48 hours of stroke and at four days of stroke; the level of T4, B and natural killer lymphocytes were negatively corelated with the spleen volume in 24 hours of stroke and at 48 hours of stroke.Conclusion After the acute cerebral infarction onset, the spleen volume tends to reduce and then increases , the levels of platelet reactivity , inflammatory factors and lymphocyte subsets are correlated with the spleen volume , and the spleen may aggravate the brain injury by releasing platelets inflammatory factors and lymphocyte subsets.
