Objective To explore the potential causal relationship between occupational pneumoconiosis (hereinafter referred to as "pneumoconiosis") and five mental disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, insomnia and anxiety) using the two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method. Methods Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) loci associated with pneumoconiosis and five mental disorders were screened from Genome-Wide Association Studies. Inverse variance weighting (IVW), weighted median (WM) and MR-Egger regression methods were used to evaluate the significance of the causal relationship between pneumoconiosis and five mental disorders. Sensitivity analysis was used to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the research results. Results After matching data of pneumoconiosis and the five mental disorders, 16 SNPs were ultimately included as instrumental variables in this study. The result of MR analysis revealed a positive causal relationship between pneumoconiosis and both depression [IVW: odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) was 1.017 (1.000-1.035), P<0.05] and bipolar disorder [IVW: OR(95%CI)was 1.046(1.009-1.083), P<0.05; WM: OR (95%CI) was 1.055(1.007-1.105), P<0.05]. Result of sensitivity analysis indicated there was no heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy in the above results. There was no causal association observed between pneumoconiosis and schizophrenia, insomnia, or anxiety disorders (all P>0.05). Conclusion This study provides genetic evidence supporting a positive causal relationship between pneumoconiosis and both depression and bipolar disorder.

TAR DNA/RNA-binding domain protein 43 (TDP-43) has become one of the pathogenic factors of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Clearance of abnormal accumulation of TDP-43 might be the potential treatment target in AD patients. Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is one of the main ways of protein clearance. UPS dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of AD. This review focuses on the roles of TDP-43 and UPS in the pathogenesis of AD, as well as the research progress of UPS mediated clearance TDP-43 in the treatment of AD.

Objective To investigate the role of network platform for treatment and rescue of acute and severe cerebrovascular diseases in improving treatment level of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods The differences of number of patients accepted venous thrombolysis, number of patients accepted emergency intravascular interventional treatment, and time from admission to intravenous thrombolysis (door to needle time [DNT]) were analyzed in patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to our hospital in the first year (2016) and the second and third years (2017 and 2018) of construction of network platform for treatment and rescue of acute and severe cerebrovascular diseases in Yunfu city. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were compared in 120 patients selected randomly from online referral (study group,n=60) and non-online referral (control group,n=60) within the same time periods in 2018.Results In 2017 and 2018, the number of patients accepted intravenous thrombolysis was 85 and 103, respectively, and the rate of intravenous thrombolysis was 9.92% and 9.83%; they were all significantly larger/higher than those in 2016 (n=50, 6.97%,P<0.05). In 2017 and 2018, the number of patients accepted emergency endovascular treatment was 56 and 129, respectively, and the emergency endovascular treatment rate was 6.53% and 12.31%; they were all higher than those in 2016 (n=44 and 6.14%), and the differences between those in 2018 and 2016 were statistically significant (P<0.05). The DNT ([82.00±18.75] min in 2017 and [77.00±32.17] min in 2018) was significantly shorter than that in 2016 ([109.00±30.58] min,P<0.05). The NIHSS scores of the study group and control group were 4.70±3.64 and 8.90±5.62, respectively, after one week of treatment, both of which were lower than those before treatment (14.30±6.29 and 13.60±6.37); and after treatment, the NIHSS scores of the treatment group were statistically lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Construction and effective operation of network platform for treatment and rescue of acute and severe cerebrovascular diseases is an effective guarantee to improve the success rate of treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke.
