Psychiatry Investigation 2025;22(4):389-396
Objective:
There were associations between emotional abuse and neglect (EAN) and depression, but few studies had tested potential mechanisms underlying these relationships. We aimed to provide insights on how (the mediation role of neuroticism), and under what conditions (the moderator role of psychological resilience), led to a higher level of depression.
Methods:
This study was a cross-sectional study that used a random cluster sampling method. We randomly selected 3,993 participants from four junior middle schools in northern city of China. Participants were asked to complete four self-reported questionnaires, including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Children Depression Inventory-Short Form, Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Version, and Chinese Resilience Scale.
Results:
The results showed that neuroticism mediated the associations between EAN and depression. In addition, the mediating effect of neuroticism was moderated by psychological resilience (p<0.05).
Conclusion
EAN and neuroticism could have an adverse impact on depression, and psychological resilience could alleviate these negative effects as a moderator. Our model suggested psychological resilience could be a particularly effective intervention point for victims of EAN.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza, and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, parallel, controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals, including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness (ILI) cases were collected, and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention, they were assigned to the observation group (108 cases) or the control group (108 cases). Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score scale for influenza, influenza-related emergency (outpatient) visit rate, influenza hospitalization rate, and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled, with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes: (1) Incidence of ILI: The incidence was 12.0% (13/108) in the observation group and 23.1% (25/108) in the control group, with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence (χ2=4.6, P<0.05). (2) Influenza confirmation rate: 3.7% (4/108) in the observation group and 4.6% (5/108) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes: (1) TCM symptom score scale: after onset, nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups (P<0.05), while other symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and cough showed no significant differences. (2) Influenza-related emergency (outpatient) visit rate: 84.6% (11 cases) in the observation group and 96.0% (24 cases) in the control group, with no significant difference. (3) Time to onset after exposure: The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions, Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.

Objective To investigate the changes in microglia phenotype after cerebral ischemia reperfusion(1R)injury and the effects of adenosine on nerve injury of cerebral IR injured rats.Methods Thirty-six healthy male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into the sham operation(Sham)group,IR group,and adenosine pretreatment(AP)group,with 12 rats in each group.Before modeling,rats in the AP group were intraperitoneally injected with 2 mL of adenosine injection daily for 3 consecutive days,and rats in the Sham group and IR group were intraperitoneally injected with 2 mL of normal saline daily for 3 consecutive days.The middle cerebral artery occlusion models of rats in the IR group and AP group were constructed by using the suture-occluded method,and only the carotid artery of rats was isolated in the Sham group without ligation of blood vessels.At 2 hours after modeling,the neuroethology of rats in each group were evaluated according to a 5-point neurobehavioral scale.At 24 hours after restoring the blood perfusion in the middle cerebral artery,the rats in each group were executed,and their brain tissues were removed.The morphological changes of the brain tissues in the ischemic penumbra region were observed after hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The co-expression of M1-type microglia markers and M2-type microglia markers was detected by immunofluorescence staining.The relative expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin(IL)-1β released by M1-type microglia,and anti-inflammatory factors IL-4,IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)released by M2-type microglia were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Results The neurobehavioral scores of rats in the IR group and AP group were significantly higher than those in the Sham group,and the neurobehavioral score of rats in the IR group was significantly higher than that in the AP group(P<0.05).HE staining results showed that the brain cells of rats in the Sham group were structurally complete and tightly arranged,with visible nuclei and no interstitial edema;the brain cells of rats in the IR group were structurally damaged and irregularly arranged,with loose cytoplasm and vacuoles in the cytosome;the structure of brain cells of rat in the AP group was better than that in the IR group,and there were many regularly-arranged normal cells,with complete nuclei.Immunofluorescence staining results showed that the number of M1-type and M2-type microglia in the ischemic penumbra region of rats in the IR group and AP group was significantly higher than that in the Sham group;the number of M1-type microglia in the IR group was significantly higher than that in the AP group,and the number of M2-type microglia was significantly lower than that in the AP group(P<0.05).qRT-PCR results showed that the relative expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α,IL-1β,iNOS and anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4,IL-10,TGF-β in the IR group and AP group were significantly higher than those in the Sham group(P<0.05);the relative expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-1β and iNOS in the AP group were significantly lower than those in the IR group(P<0.05),while the relative expression levels of anti-inflammatory factors IL-4,IL-10 and TGF-β were significantly higher than those in the IR group(P<0.05).Conclusion AP can promote the polarization of microglia from M1 type to M2 type,inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory factors,increases the expression of anti-inflammatory factors,and thus has a neuroprotective effect on rats after cerebral IR injury.

Objective:
To prove the validity and accuracy of the digitizer instead of the conventional electronics plug-in
for radionuclide measurement.
Methods:
Based on a large-area flow-gas multi-wire proportional counter for 2πα and 2πβ surface particle emission rate measurement, the DT5730 digital waveform sampler developed by CAEN was used for waveform signal acquisition, amplitude analysis, and data processing of the α-plane source 241Am and the β-plane source nuclides 14C, 36Cl, and 90Sr-90Y of different energies.
Results:
The deviations between the α and β surface particle emission rate results obtained after dead time and background corrections and the measurements obtained based on the plug-in calibrator were
all within 0.6%, within the uncertainty range, under consistent experimental conditions such as electronics threshold and high pressure.
Conclusion
The digitizer is an effective alternative to conventional electronics plug-ins for α and β signal acquisition and processing and the accurate measurement of α and β emission rates.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular in-jection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.Methods:The relevant literatures published in both English and Chinese were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, Wanfang database, China Knowledge Network (CNKI), SinoMed database and other data-bases from inception to May 2020. Two researchers independently extracted data and evaluated the included literature. Risk assessment of literature bias was carried out. RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta analysis, and the combined sensitivity were calculated.Results:Finally, 13 references were included, including a total of 726 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the HA group, the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteopathic Index Total Score (WOMAC) [ MD=-10.92, 95% CI (-16.87, -4.96), P<0.01], the visual analogue scale (VAS) score [ MD=-1.70, 95% CI(-2.44, -0.95), P<0.01], and the knee joint Lequesne index score of MSCs group all decreased significantly [ MD=-13.78, 95% CI (-15.03,-12.52), P<0.01]. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events (AEs) between the two groups [ RR=1.11, 95% CI(0.90, 1.37), P=0.33]. However, American Knee Association Score (AKS score) [ MD=-10.15, 95% CI(-22.33, 2.03), P=0.10] and whole-organ magnetic resonance imaging score (WORMS) [ MD=-3.93, 95% CI(-11.60, 3.75), P=0.32] were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with intra-articular injection of HA, intra-articular injection of MSCs can significantly improve the symptoms and dysfunction, and has favorable clinical tolerability and safety, suggesting that MSCs is expected to bea new treatment for knee osteoarthritis.
