Objective : To investigate the mediating effect of negative emotions on visual impairment and resilience among middle-aged and elderly populations, so as to provide insights into improving psychological health among middle-aged and elderly populations. Methods: Demographic information, visual impairment, negative emotions and resilience in the residents at ages of 45 years and older were collected through the database of the Yushu Physical and Mental Health Survey carried out by Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Structural equation model was used to analyze the effects of visual impairment and resilience and the mediating role of negative emotions. Results: Totally 2 997 middle-aged and elderly populations were enrolled, with the median age of 50.00 (interquartile range, 47.00) years. There were 1 320 males (44.04%) and 1 677 females (55.96%), 1 627 illiterate persons (54.29%), and 2 780 married persons (92.76%). The scores of visual impairment, negative emotions and resilience were (6.79±2.59), (6.35±3.05) and (33.38±10.41) points, respectively. The results of structural equation model analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, educational level and marital status, visual impairment had a direct negative positive effect on resilience, with a direct effect value of -0.157 (95%CI: -0.177 to -0.137), and visual impairment could also negatively affect residence through negative emotions, with a mediating effect value of -0.112 (95%CI: -0.126 to -0.104), and the mediating effect contributed 41.64% to the total effect. Conclusion visual impairment could reduce residence directly or indirectly through the mediating effect of negative emotions among middle-aged and elderly populations.

Aural vertigo frequently encountered in the otolaryngology department of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） mainly involves peripheral vestibular diseases of Western medicine， such as Meniere's disease， benign paroxysmal positional vertigo， vestibular neuritis， and vestibular migraine， being a hot research topic in both TCM and Western medicine. Western medical therapies alone have unsatisfactory effects on recurrent aural vertigo， aural vertigo affecting the quality of life， aural vertigo not relieved after surgery， aural vertigo with complex causes， and children's aural vertigo. The literature records and clinical practice have proven that TCM demonstrates unique advantages in the treatment of aural vertigo. The China Association of Chinese medicine sponsored the "17th youth salon on the diseases responding specifically to TCM： Aural vertigo" and invited vertigo experts of TCM and Western medicine to discuss the difficulties and advantages of TCM diagnosis and treatment of aural vertigo. The experts deeply discussed the achievements and contributions of TCM and Western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of aural vertigo， the control and mitigation of the symptoms， and the solutions to disease recurrence. The discussion clarified the positioning and advantages of TCM treatment and provided guidance for clinical and basic research on aural vertigo.

Objective:To investigate whether prophylactic use of metal clips is necessary after cold snare polypectomy (CSP) of colorectal polyps of 6-10 mm.Methods:A total of 200 patients with 6-10 mm polyps that met the criteria of cold snare resection in Chengdu Third People's Hospital from 15 February 2022 to 30 May 2022 were randomly divided into two groups: a group that received preventive metal clip treatment and an observation group. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), Boston score, endoscopy entry time, wound size, operation time, intraoperative bleeding time, postoperative delayed bleeding rate and cost between the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:Ninety-eight patients in the metal clip group had 122 polyps removed, and 97 patients in the observation group had 119 polyps removed. There was no significant difference in the age, gender, BMI, Boston score, endoscopy entry time or wound size between the two groups. There were significant differences in the operation time (171.03±90.78 s VS 69.81±43.26 s, t=2.266， P=0.010), intraoperative bleeding time (19.98±17.37 s VS 29.16±17.56 s, t=-2.875， P=0.006) and surgery cost (571.63±110.92 yuan VS 366.32±13.2 yuan, t=18.102， P<0.001) between the metal clip group and the observation group. There was no significant difference in the delayed bleeding incidence［0.0%（0/98）VS 1.0%（1/97）， P=0.497］between the two groups. Conclusion:For patients with continuous bleeding time <60 seconds after CSP of 6-10 mm colonic polyps, the prophylactic use of metal clips may reduce the bleeding time, but may increase the operation time and cost. Metal clips have little effect on preventing postoperative complications.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical relevance of micro RNA (miR)-324-5p in pancreatic cancer tissues, and to explore the effects and potential mechanisms of miR-324-5p on the proliferation and migration of pancreatic cancer cells.Methods:Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-324-5p in 34 pairs of pancreatic cancer and adjacent normal tissues resected at Peking University First Hospital from October 2018 to September 2019. The correlations between miR-324-5p expression and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of pancreatic cancer were analyzed using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-324-5p in pancreatic cancer cell lines, and PANC-1 cell was used for functional study by overexpressing miR-324-5p via mimic transfection. CCK8 assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation. Both transwell and scratch wound healing assay were used to assess the cancer cell migration ability. Related proteins were detected by Western blot. The potential downstream target genes of miR-324-5p were selected using data from miRNA target genes predicted webs, in combination with functional analysis and their expressional correlation with miR-324-5p.Results:Data from TCGA database showed that the expression of miR-324-5p in tumor tissues was significantly lower than that in normal pancreatic tissues. And low level of miR-324-5p in pancreatic cancer was correlated with poor prognosis. Analysis of 34 pairs pancreatic cancer and adjacent normal tissues showed that miR-324-5p expression in tumor tissues (11.7±2.0) was significantly lower than that in adjacent normal tissues (70.9±14.4), and the pancreatic cancer patients who had the nerve invasion cancer showed low level of miR-324-5p (82.1%, 23/28) was significantly higher than that patients with high level of miR-324-5p (33.3%, 2/6). The expression of miR-324-5p in human pancreatic cancer cell line was also significantly lower than that in normal pancreatic ductal cells. CCK-8 assay showed that the proliferation ability of PANC-1 cell was significantly decreased when miR-324-5p was overexpressed. Transwell and wound healing assays showed that the capabilities of vertical migration and the horizontal movement were significantly inhibited in PANC-1 cell with miR-324-5p overexpressed [(30.11±5.2) and (174.6±27.0) μm, respectively] than those in control groups [(63.6±4.2) and (458.3±22.3) μm, respectively]. Moreover, Western blots showed a significant overexpression of miR-324-5p inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). According to the data from miRNA target genes prediction and the functional analysis we found KLF3, MGAT3, PBX1 and ZNRF2 were considered as the potential downstream target genes of miR-324-5p.Conclusions:Our results indicated that miR-324-5p is lowly expressed and acts as the tumor suppressor gene in pancreatic cancer, and low level of miR-324-5p is correlated to a higher rate of nerve invasion and poor prognosis. In human pancreatic cancer cell, miR-324-5p may regulate EMT by directly inhibiting target genes such as KLF3, MGAT3, PBX1, ZNRF2, which in turn suppresses cancer cell proliferation and migration.

Objective: To examine the longitudinal relationship between the prosocial behaviors and depressive symptoms in rural adolescents using a cross-lagged model,and to provide a reference for improving mental health of adolescents. Methods: Participants were junior school 372 students in grade seven recruited from a rural school in Anhui province, who filled the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and a short version of Center for Epidemiological Survey Depression Scale (CESD-10) three times (once a year for 2 years),and the cross lag model is established. Results: Depressive symptoms(r=0.39-0.45) and prosocial behavior(r=0.43-0.46) of rural adolescents are relatively stable in junior middle school(P<0.01)；The depression score of adolescents in grade 9 was higher than that in grade 7 and 8(P<0.05) and girls’ depression score was higher than boys’ (F=7.94,P<0.01).The relationships between prosocial behaviors(T1, T2, T3) and depressive symptoms(T1, T2, T3) were all negatively correlated in rural adolescents(r=-0.23~-0.13, P<0.05). Depressive symptoms in T1 and T2 could negatively predict prosocial behaviors in T2 and T3, respectively (β T1-T2=-0.10, β T2-T3=-0.11, P<0.05), while prosocial behaviors in T2 could negatively predicted depressive symptoms in T3 (β=-0.14, P<0.05). Conclusion During the three years of junior high school, the depressive symptoms of rural adolescents negatively predicted prosocial behavior, and from the second to the third year of junior high school, prosocial behavior negatively predicted depressive symptoms.Community health workers should pay more attention on depressive symptoms of rural adolescents, which could be prevented and improved through prosocial behavioral intervention, including helping and sharing.

Objectives:To investigate the prevalence of depressive emotion and related factors among rural elderly living in urban-rural fringe zones and traditional villages.Methods:Totally 1135 rural elderly were surveyed in Fuding,Fujian Province.The 10-item CES-D Scale was adopted to assess depressive emotion (score 10 or higher as having depression problem),and a self-made questionnaire was used to investigate other relevant demographical information.Results:Rural elderly lived in traditional villages had significantly higher ratio of depression than the elderly lived in urban-rural fringe zones (49.6％ vs.30.3％,P ＜0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that the ratio of depression in elderly of traditional villages was 1.40 times that of urban-rural fringe zone after control ling other factors.Other important factors (P ＜ 0.001) related to depression were poorer self-rated health (OR =7.52),financial strain (OR =4.41),negative life event (OR =2.91),and living alone (OR =2.72) in elderly of urban-rural fringe zone,but only financial strain (OR =8.52) in elderly of traditional villages.Conclusion:Depression is more prevalently identified among rural elderly living in traditional villages,and urbanization could effectively reduce depression in rural elderly.Public policies should improve the financial and medical security,social support and so on to promote the emotional well-being among rural elderly during urbanization.

Objective:To test the validity and reliability of the University of California at Los Angeles Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index for DSM-Ⅳ (Revision 1,Children version) (UCLA PTSD-RI) in Chinese Children after flood.Methods:On the principle of convenient sampling,the students were chosen from 6 schools in Liaoning Province where was hit by flood.Totally 1593 students [aged 8-16 years,average (11 ± 2) years of age]completed the UCLA PTSD-RI.They were randomly divided into two groups for exploratory factor analysis (n =796) and confirmatory factor analysis (n =797) respectively.The 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scale(DASS-21) were used to evaluate the criterion validity.Results:The result of exploratory factor analysis indicated UCLA PTSD-RI consisted of 3 factors,accounting for 50％ of the total variance.The confirmatory factor analysis identified that a three-factor model fit well (x2/df=3.87,GFI =0.93,RFI =0.96,CFI =097,NNFI =0.97,IFI =0.97,RM-SEA =0.06).The scores of UCLA PTSD-RI subscales were positively correlated with the scores of DASS-21 subscales (r =0.52-0.70,Ps ＜ 0.001).The Cronbach's a coefficient and the split-half reliability coefficient of UCLA PTSD-RI were 0.90 and 0.87,respectively.Conclusion:The Chinese Version of the UCLA PTSD Reaction Index for DSM-Ⅳ (Revision 1,Children version) could be an effective instrument for assessing and diagnosing PTSD of Chinese children after disasters.

Social network plays an important role in the prevention and recovery of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Researches of egocentric network focus on the protective effect of large size and high diversity of social support network on PTSD,while researches about global network focus on social integration. Egocentric network and global network reduce the negative emotional reactions or physiologic and behavioral responses to stress in different ways,the former buffers stress response through social support,the latter em-phasizes the importance of interpersonal emotional contagion and social resource change. Future studies are required to explore the relationship between social structure or the social network changes and PTSD by using longitudinal method,in the meantime intervention studies about improving social network to reduce PTSD are also worth doing.

Objective:To examine the relationships between acute stress disorder (ASD) symptoms,posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and depressive symptoms in children survivors following the Lushan earthquake in China.Methods:One hundred ninety-seven children aged 1 to 14years (93 male and 104 female) were followed up at two and six weeks after Lushan earthquake.The ASDS,UCLA PTSD Reaction Index and DASS were used to measure the ASD,PTSD and depressive symptoms.Results:The average scores of ASDS and the depression subscale of DASS at two weeks after earthquake were(36.5 ± 10.9) and (3.3 ± 2.8),respectively.The average scores of UCLA PTSD Reaction Index and the depression subscale of DASS-21 at six weeks after earthquake were (18.5 ± 12.6) and (3.3 ± 3.5),respectively.The rates of ASD and PTSD were 28.6％ and 8.2％,respectively.The cross-lagged structural equation analysis with latent variables indicated that the ASD symptoms at two weeks after earthquake positively predicted PTSD symptoms (β =0.59,p ＜ 0.001) and depressive symptoms (β =0.29,p ＜0.001) at six weeks after earthquake.But there was no significant association between depressive symptoms at two weeks and PTSD symptoms at six weeks after earthquake.Conclusion:ASD symptoms in the early time postearthquake could predict subsequent PTSD and depressive symptoms,while depressive symptoms tend to remain stable within six weeks after earthquake.

Objective:To explore the prevalence of posttraumatic stress symptoms among preschool children and its related factors after the Ludian earthquake.Methods:A total of 62 children's guardians were visited.They were interviewed with the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Semi-Structured Interview for Infants and the Young Children and the Child Behavior Checklist-Posttraumatic Stress Disorder scale (CBCL-PTSD) consisted of 15 items from the CBCL.All of the participantsresided in Longtoushan settlement and Longtoushan town (the epicenter).They were randomly visited from west to east in that region.Results:The rate of scored 9 (or more) on the CBCL-PTSD among children was 51.9％ (27/52) in 1-2 months after the earthquake.However,based on the Semi-Structured Interview,the rate of the children's posttraumatic stress symptoms was 26.9 ％ (14/52).The numbers of posttraumatic stress symptoms,intrusion symptoms,avoidance symptoms,hyperarousal symptoms,the new symptoms and the CBCL-PTSD scores were positively correlated (0.30-0.73,P ＜0.05),except the relation between intrusion symptoms and hyperarousal symptoms.The rate of intrusion symptoms was significant higher among those who experienced earthquake than those who didn't (96.2％ vs.60.0％,P ＜0.01).And the rate of intrusion symptoms was also higher among those who was injured during the earthquake than those who wasn't (100％ vs.84.6％,P ＜ 0.05).And the other symptoms were not difference in children under different conditions (P ＞ 0.005).Conclusion:The preschool children who experienced earthquake or were injured suffer more posttraumatic stress symptoms.
