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）］

Sepsis is a condition characterized by organ dysfunction resulting from the systemic inflammatory response triggered by an infection. Excessive inflammation and immunosuppression are intertwined, and severe cases may even develop into multiple organ failure. Studies have shown that indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1-mediated tryptophan metabolism is involved in the occurrence and development of sepsis, and elevated plasma kynurenine levels and Kyn/Trp ratios are early indicators of sepsis development. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive summary of the role of IDO1 in the acute inflammatory phase of sepsis, late immunosuppression, and organ damage. This includes its regulation of inflammatory state, immune cell function, blood pressure, and other aspects. Additionally, we analyze preclinical studies on targeted IDO1 drugs. An in-depth understanding and study of IDO may help to understand the pathogenesis and clinical significance of sepsis and multiple organ damage from a new perspective and provide new research ideas for exploring its prevention and treatment methods.

Objective To summarize the epidemiological and clinical features of infectious diseases of the central nervous system(CNS)by a single-center analysis.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 1247 cases of CNS infectious diseases diagnosed and treated in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from 2001 to 2020.Results The data for this group of CNS infectious diseases by disease type in descending order of number of cases were viruses 743(59.6％),Mycobacterium tuberculosis 249(20.0％),other bacteria 150(12.0％),fungi 68(5.5％),parasites 18(1.4％),Treponema pallidum 18(1.4％)and rickettsia 1(0.1％).The number of cases increased by 177 cases(33.1％)in the latter 10 years compared to the previous 10 years(P<0.05).No significant difference in seasonal distribution pattern of data between disease types(P>0.05).Male to female ratio is 1.87︰1,mostly under 60 years of age.Viruses are more likely to infect students,most often at university/college level and above,farmers are overrepresented among bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis,and more infections of Treponema pallidum in workers.CNS infectious diseases are characterized by fever,headache and signs of meningeal irritation,with the adductor nerve being the more commonly involved cranial nerve.Matagenomic next-generation sequencing improves clinical diagnostic capabilities.The median hospital days for CNS infectious diseases are 18.00(11.00,27.00)and median hospital costs are ￥29,500(￥16,000,￥59,200).The mortality rate from CNS infectious diseases is 1.6％.Conclusions The incidence of CNS infectious diseases is increasing last ten years,with complex clinical presentation,severe symptoms and poor prognosis.Early and accurate diagnosis and standardized clinical treatment can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality rate and ease the burden of disease.

Objective To investigate the attributable risk(AR)of Acinetobacter baumannii(AB)infection in criti-cally ill patients.Methods A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted among adult patients in inten-sive care unit(ICU).Patients with AB isolated from sterile body fluid and confirmed with AB infection in each cen-ter were selected as the infected group.According to the matching criteria that patients should be from the same pe-riod,in the same ICU,as well as with similar APACHE Ⅱ score(±5 points)and primary diagnosis,patients who did not infect with AB were selected as the non-infected group in a 1:2 ratio.The AR was calculated.Results The in-hospital mortality of patients with AB infection in sterile body fluid was 33.3％,and that of non-infected group was 23.1％,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.069).The AR was 10.2％(95％CI:-2.3％-22.8％).There is no statistically significant difference in mortality between non-infected pa-tients and infected patients from whose blood,cerebrospinal fluid and other specimen sources AB were isolated(P＞0.05).After infected with AB,critically ill patients with the major diagnosis of pulmonary infection had the high-est AR.There was no statistically significant difference in mortality between patients in the infected and non-infec-ted groups(P＞0.05),or between other diagnostic classifications.Conclusion The prognosis of AB infection in critically ill patients is highly overestimated,but active healthcare-associated infection control for AB in the ICU should still be carried out.

N-type voltage-gated calcium (Ca²⁺) channels (N-type VGCC, Ca_V2.2) mediate Ca²⁺ influx in response to action potential at the presynaptic terminal, and play an important role in synaptogenesis, neurotransmitter release and nociceptive signal transduction. It is a new target for the development of drugs for the treatment of neuralgia (chronic pain) and other major diseases. Due to the difficulty of calcium channel expression in vitro and the detection of channel current, there is a great lack of new drug screening models. In this study, we established and optimized the electrophysiological drug screening model using Xenopus laevis oocytes for the recombinant expression of Ca_V2.2 in vitro (this study were reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Guangxi University, approval number: GXU-2023-0249). Firstly, the linear plasmids encoding cDNA of major subunit α1B and auxiliary subunits α2δ1 and β3 of rat Ca_V2.2 were used as templates for in vitro transcription to generate their related mRNA (cRNA), after which three kinds of cRNA were injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes at the mass ratio of 2∶1∶1 for expression. The two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC) technique was used to detect the inward current produced by Ca_V2.2. At the same time, the expression conditions of Ca_V2.2 were optimized, and its gating function was characterized from the aspects of channel activation and inactivation. The results showed that 3-5 days after cRNA microinjection, stable Ca_V2.2-mediated barium ion (Ba²⁺) currents were successfully detected. The interference of endogenous potassium channels and Ca²⁺-activated chloride channels can be eliminated by tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) and 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetrakis (BAPTA-AM) treatment. The maximum potential for Ca_V2.2 activation is 0 mV, and the current reverses to be outward when the membrane potential is greater than +50 mV. By fitting the steady-state activation and inactivation curves, the half-maximal activation potential and half-maximal inactivation potential of Ca_V2.2 are identified as -15.9 and -60.2 mV. In this study, a stable Ca_V2.2 expression system was established based on Xenopus laevis oocytes. The in vitro expression system can provide a new way for the screening of Ca_V2.2 active compounds or lead drugs.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of modified suspension reduction method combined with percuta-neous vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures.Methods From February 2020 to October 2021,92 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture were treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into the observation group and the control group.The observation group was treated with modified suspension reduction and then percutaneous vertebroplasty,while the control group was treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty alone.The observation group(47 cases),including 20 males and 27 females,the age ranged from 59 to 76 years old with an average of(69.74±4.50)years old,fractured vertebral bodies:T10(2 cases),T11(7 cases),T12(19 cases),L1(14 cases),L2(5 cases);the control group(45 cases),including 21 males and 24 females,the age ranged from 61 to 78 years old with an average of(71.02±3.58)years old,fractured vertebral bodies:T10(3 cases),T11(8 cases),T12(17 cas-es),L1(12 cases),L2(5 cases);The leakage of bone cement were observed,the visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry lumbar dysfunction index(ODI),anterior vertebrae height(AVH),Cobb angle of kyphosis and the amount of bone cement injected before and after operation were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results All patients were followed up,ranged from 6 to1O with an average of(8.45±1.73)months.Two patients ocurred bone cement leakage in observation group and 3 pa-tients in control group.AVH of observation group increased(P＜0.05)and Cobb angle of injured vertebrae decreased(P＜0.05).Cobb angle of injured vertebrae and AVH of the control group were not significantly changed(P＞0.05).Cobb angle of injured vertebrae of the observation group was lower than that of control group(P＜0.05)and AVH was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).In the observation group,VAS before operation and 1 week,3 and 6 months after operation respective-ly were(7.32±1.05)scores,(3.56±1.18)scores,(1.83±0.67)scores,(1.27±0.34)scores,and ODI were(40.12±14.69)scores,(23.76±10.19)scores,(20.15±6.39)scores,(13.45±3.46)scores.In the control group,VAS before operation and 1 week,3 and 6 months after operation respectively were(7.11±5.26)scores,(3.82±0.68)scores,(1.94±0.88)scores,(1.36± 0.52)scores,and ODI were(41.38±10.23)scores,(25.13±14.22)scores,(20.61±5.82)scores,(14.55±5.27)scores.The scores of VAS and ODI after operation were lower than those before operation(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Modified suspension reduction method combined with PVP surgery for osteo-porotic thoracolumbar compression fractures has achieved good clinical results,which can effectively relieve lumbar back pain,restore vertebral height,correct kyphosis,improve lumbar function and patients'quality of life.

[Objective]To investigate the effect of ivabradine,an inhibitor of peripheral HCN channel,on remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in mice.[Methods]The model of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia was established by intravenously infusing remifentanil 2 μg/(kg·min)for 1 h through tail vein of adult male C57/BL6 mice.To observe the effect of ivabradine on remifentanil induced hyperalgesia,ivabradine(5 mg/kg)was injected subcutaneously 30 minutes before remifentanil infusion.Forty mice were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups:saline group,remifentanil group,remifentanil+vehicle group and remifentanil+ivabradine group.In each group,six mice were used to test mechanical and thermal pain thresholds at 24 h before(baseline)and on 1 d,3 d,5 d after remifentanil or saline infusion.Four mice of each group were used to detected c-Fos positive cell in spinal dorsal horn by immunofluorescence on 1 d after remifentanil or saline infusion.[Results]Compared with the saline group,a significant decrease in mechanical or thermal threshold was observed on 1 d and 3 d after remifentanil infusion(P<0.001),and the number of c-Fos positive neurons in the lumbar dorsal horn increased significantly(P<0.001).Compared with vehicle group,subcutaneous injection of ivabradine effectively inhibited remifentanil induced hyperalgesia(P<0.001)and blocked the increase of c-Fos positive neurons in the lumbar dorsal horn on 1 d following remifentanil treatment(P<0.001).[Conclusions]Ivabradine could effectively prevent remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in mice.The possible mechanism underlying this effect is that ivabradine suppresses the enhanced peripheral nociceptive input onto spinal cord neurons.

[Objective]To observe the expression of spinal G protein-gated inwardly-rectifying potassium(GIRK)channel subunits 1 and 2 in spinal dorsal horn of morphine-tolerant rats and investigate the regulatory mechanism.[Methods]Twenty four rats were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups:saline,morphine,morphine+saline and morphine+εV1-2.The morphine-tolerant rat model was established by intrathecal administration of morphine(15 μg/d)for 7 days.Thirty minutes before daily morphine administration,rats received protein kinase C-ε(PKCε)selective inhibitor εV1-2 to test its effect on morphine tolerance and GIRK1-2 expression.All rats received behavioral tests on days 1,3,5 and 7 and thereafter immunofluorescence.[Results]Double fluorescence staining showed that GIRK1 and GIRK2 were expressed primarily in the spinal laminae I-Ⅱ and co-immunostained with μ-opioid receptor(MOR).Seven-day intrathecal administration of morphine induced antinociceptive tolerance and a significant reduction of the spinal GIRK1(22.45±10.58 vs.62.83±20.80,P<0.001)and GIRK2(23.67±8.78 vs.50.17±11.05,P=0.001)fluorescence intensity,as compared with saline control rats.In addition,pretreatment with εV1-2 significantly delayed the reduction of morphine antinociception(P<0.001)and prevented the decrease of GIRK1(54.50±10.37 vs.19.33±9.48,P<0.001)and GIRK2(39.83±6.24 vs.15.83±9.58,P=0.001)expression induced by morphine treatment.[Conclusions]Morphine tolerance is closely related to down-regulation of GIRK1-2 expression and PKCε plays a crucial regulatory role herein.

The assessment of adverse drug events is an important basis for clinical safety evaluation and post-marketing risk control of drugs,and its causality assessment is gaining increasing attention.The existing methods for assessing the causal relationship between drugs and the occurrence of adverse reactions can be broadly classified into three categories:global introspective methods,standardized methods,and probabilistic methods.At present,there is no systematic introduction of the operational details of the various methods in the domestic literature.This paper compares representative causality assessment methods in terms of definition and concept,methodological steps,industry evaluation and advantages and disadvantages,clarifies the basic process of determining the causality of adverse drug reactions,and discusses how to further improve the adverse drug reaction monitoring and evaluation system,with a view to providing a reference for drug development and pharmacovigilance work in China.
