ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of depressive disorders among school students aged 6-16 years in Beijing, the effect of age and gender on the prevalence, and the behavioral and emotional profiles of identified students with depressive disorders.Methods:The prevalence of depressive disorders in primary and secondary school students aged 6-16 years in Beijing from January 2012 to December 2014 was examined by a multistage stratified random sampling method.In the first stage, the Achenbach′s Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was used to identify high-risk children and adolescents.In the second stage, the high-risk group was further screened by Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID), and then two psychiatrists made the final diagnosis according to the diagnostic criteria of the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-Ⅳ). This study was a prospective epidemiological investigation.The effect of age and gender on the disease prevalence was analyzed by Chi- square test. Results:About 2.29% (234/10 215 cases) of the school students aged 6-16 years in Beijing had depressive disorders.The incidence of depressive disorders was 1.80% (106/5 866 cases) in boys and 2.94% (128/4 349 cases) in girls.There is an age effect on the prevalence of depression.As the age increases, the morbidity of depressive disorders increases.The age of 12 years was a critical turning point, and the peak incidence was reached at around the age of 15 years.The emotional and behavioral problems of patients with depressive disorders mainly include social problems, withdrawal depressed, anxiety and depressed, somatic complaints, and aggressive behavior.Conclusions:The prevalence of depressive disorders among school students aged 6-16 years in Beijing is 2.29%.Depressive disorders occur in primary and middle school students of all ages.More attention should be paid to the mood of students before and after the entrance exams for junior high school and senior middle school, especially the girls′ mood.In the process of screening, diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders, the atypical symptoms of depression need to be paid more attention.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To evaluate the indication, safety and effectiveness of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal cancer based on our preliminary experience.@*Methods@#Twelve patients, including six with tonsil cancer, five with tongue base cancer and one with posterior pharyngeal wall cancer, who underwent TORS with Da Vinci Si surgical system from March 2017 to October 2018 at Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science Technology were respectively analyzed. And the surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative local bleeding, dyspnea, nerve function injury, oral intake time, whether or not to receive chemoradiotherapy were analyzed.@*Results@#All tumors in the 12 patients were en bloc removed by TORS. Surgical time ranged from 25 to 80 min with an average of 34.2 min. The blood loss ranged from 10 ml to 50 ml with an average of 20.8 ml. The recovery time for oral intake ranged from 1 day to 30 days with an average of 8.4 days. No patient underwent tracheostomy after TORS. Also, no patient manifested with airway obstruction, bleeding or nerve injury symptoms after operation. All 12 patients reached pathologically negative surgical margins. The patients were followed up for 4 to 22 months, with a median of 12 months. All patients who combined with more advanced than T3 stage, or more advanced than N2 stage were recommended to oncologist, then, followed with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy if no relevant contradictions occurred. No local recurrence or distant metastasis case was found.@*Conclusion@#With proper indications, the application of TORS in oropharyngeal cancer is a relatively safe, effective and minimal invasive therapy, which merits more clinical applications.

ABSTRACT

Schizophrenia is a common severe mental illness with unknown etiology, 1/7-1/3 of which onset in children and adolescents. The treatment of childhood schizophrenia is more difficult,and the prognosis is even worse,so the early identification and timely intervention has great significance. Event-relat-ed potentials ( ERPs) are bioelectrical activities that occur in the brain during external or internal stimuli. They reflect the electrophysiological changes in the brain during cognitive activity. In recent years,scholars at home and abroad have tried to find biomarkers of early identification of childhood schizophrenia through ERPs. The main contents include:error related negativity (ERN),mismatched negativity (MMN),N100, P300 and so on.It was found that children and adolescents with schizophrenia prodromal symptoms and high-risk children and adolescents have decreased ERN,MMN,N100,P300 amplitudes,and prolonged P300 laten-cy. However,some of these results are still lack of consistency and need further research. And combined with brain imaging and molecular biology for clinical validation,it will be more helpful to the early identification of childhood schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the expression and distribution of vimentin in different types of chronic rhinosinusitis and its significance.@*METHOD@#There were four groups including control (10 samples), Eos CRSwNP (10 samples), non-Eos CRSwNP (12 samples) and CRSsNP (10 samples). The expression of vimentin in chronic rhinosinusitis were detected by immunohistochemistry technique. The double-immunofluorescence was used to detect the positive staining of both vimentin and E-cadherin, both of which were the marker of epithelial cells.@*RESULT@#The positive staining of vimentin were observed both in epithelium and lamina propria. The expression of vimentin were found in myofibroblast, endothelium and other mesenchymal cells. The vimentin positive cells in epithelium were epithelial cells but not mesenchymal cells, as they also expressed E-cadherin.@*CONCLUSION@#The vimentin positive staining cells distribute in lamina propria and epithelium of both normal nasal mucosa and chronic rhinosinusitis. The positive staining epithelial cells may generate from epithelial-mesenchymal transition. So the vimentin may play an important role in the development of chronic rhinosinusitis.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the predictive significance of the simplified Chinese STOP-Bang (S-B) scoring model in predicting obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).@*METHOD@#A total of 114 cases with suspected OSAHS were included in this study. S-B questionnaire was filled before polysomnography (PSG) monitoring. According to the PSG monitoring results the patients were divided into simple snoring, mild, moderate and severe OSAHS groups. The average S-B scores and the ratio of patients with S-B score > or = 3 were compared among the four groups respectively. The accuracy of S-B scoring model was analyzed and predictive significance was evaluated.@*RESULT@#Eighty nine of 114 (78.1%) patients were classified as being at high risk of OSAHS by S-B scoring. The S-B scores showed an accrescent tendency as the severity of OSAHS increased. The scores in the four groups were 2.74 +/- 1.39, 3.25 +/- 1.16, 4.30 +/- 1.20, 4.79 +/- 1.41 respectively. Significant difference in S-B scores was found between severe OSAHS group and the other three groups respectively (P or = 5 > or = > 15 and > or = 30 were 85.7%, 92 5% and 100%, respectively; the negative predictive values were 48.0% ,80.0% and 100%. The coincidence rate of S-B scoring model with golden standard to diagnose OSAHS was 78 9 . The area under the ROC curve at AHI cutoff of greater than or equal to 5 was 0 774.@*CONCLUSION@#S-B scoring model can be used to evaluate patients with high risk of OSAHS. It is a concise and easy-to-use tool to screen and predict moderate and severe OSAHS with relative high sensitivity and negative predictive value.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the expression and distribution of barrier molecules in epithelium of various types of chronic rhinosinusitis and its significance.@*METHOD@#There were four groups including control (13 samples), Eos-CRSwNP (10 samples), nonEos-CRSwNP (14 samples), CRSsNP (11 samples). The method of immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of E-cadherin and occludin in nasal mucosa.@*RESULT@#There was positive staining extensively distributed among cells in nasal mucosa. There was no significant difference in these groups. However, the occludin mainly located on the top of epithelial cells. In normal nasal mucosa, the positive expression was continuous, however, it was discontinuous both in CRSwNP and CRSsNP groups.@*CONCLUSION@#There was no E-cadherin loss in the progression of pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis. But the loss of occludin may correlate to the dysfunction of epithelial barrier, which was beneficial for the pathogen invasion.

ABSTRACT

This study examined the expression pattern of programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) in cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) and its association with age-related hearing loss in mice. Sixty C57BL/6J (C57) mice at different ages were divided into four groups (3, 6, 9 or 12 months). PDCD5 expression was detected by using immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR and Western blot. Morphological change of the cochleae was also evaluated by using immunoassay. The results showed that the expression of PDCD5 had a gradual increase with ageing in both protein and RNA levels in C57 mice, as well as gradually increased apoptosis of cochlear hair cells and SGNs. In addition, we also found that caspase-3 activity was enhanced and its expression was enhanced with ageing. It is implied that overexpression of PDCD5 causes the increase in caspase-3 activity and the subsequent increase of apoptosis in cochlear hair cells and SGNs, and thereby plays a role in the pathogenesis of presbycusis. Thus, PDCD5 may be a new target site for the treatment and prevention of age-related hearing loss.
