Association between exposure patterns of adverse childhood experiences and anxiety symptom trajectories in medical college students / 中华预防医学杂志

Objective: To analyze the association between exposure patterns of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and anxiety symptom trajectories in medical college students. Methods: A survey was conducted on first-year students from Anhui Medical College and Anqing Medical College, using the Childhood Abuse Questionnaire, Family Disability Questionnaire, Childhood Adverse Social Experience Item, and Anxiety Self Rating Scale. The baseline survey was conducted from November to December 2019, and two follow-up visits were conducted once every six months until November to December 2020. The latent class analysis (LCA) was used to analyze the exposure patterns of ACEs. The latent class growth analysis (LCGA) was used to analyze the development trajectory of anxiety symptoms. The multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between different exposure patterns of ACEs and the trajectory of anxiety symptom trajectories. Results: A total of 3 662 college students aged (19.2±1.0) were surveyed. The LCA showed that the exposure patterns of ACEs could be divided into the "high ACEs" group (13.4%), "high neglect/emotional abuse" group (25.7%), "high family dysfunction" group (6.9%), "high neglect" group (27.1%), and "low ACEs" group (26.3%). The LCGA divided anxiety trajectories into four groups: "high anxiety decline" (7.1%),"anxiety increase "(4.1%), "moderate anxiety"(52.9%), and "low anxiety"(35.9%). Using the low ACEs group as a reference group, compared with the low anxiety trajectory, the high ACEs group, high neglect/emotional abuse group, high family dysfunction group, high neglect group, and medium to high-level anxiety trajectory were all associated with an increased risk (P<0.05). Conclusion: There is heterogeneity in ACEs exposure patterns among medical college students, and ACEs exposure patterns are important influencing factors for anxiety symptom trajectories.

Objective To observe the protein expression related to cognitive and learning memory function, and to investigate the effect of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) silence on learning and memory function in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rats. Methods Ninety-six healthy adult male Wistar rats were divided into groups according to the random number table. ① Forty-eight rats were divided into sham operation (sham) group, TBI group (by using modified Feeney method), AQP4 RNA interference (RNAi) negative group [TBI+meaningless small interfering RNA (siRNA)-AQP4 liposome solution 10 μL], and AQP4 RNAi group (TBI+siRNA-AQP4 liposome solution 10 μL). In each group, brain tissues of 4 rats were harvested at 1, 6 and 12 hours respectively. The protein expressions of hippocampus AQP4, general control nonderepressible 2 kinase (GCN2), cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB) and phosphorylated CREB (p-CREB) were detected by Western Blot. ② In addition, 48 rats were divided into normal control group (control group), sham group, TBI group and AQP4 RNAi group, brain water content were measured in 6 of them after 12 hours of injury, and 6 were used in Morris water maze test. Results ① The protein expressions of hippocampus AQP4 and GCN2 in TBI group were significantly higher than those in sham group, and increased gradually with time with statistical difference at 12 hours (AQP4 protein: 5.03±0.09 vs. 1,GCN2 protein: 4.01±0.13 vs. 1, both 1 < 0.01);the protein expressions of hippocampus CREB and p-CREB were significantly lower than those in sham group, and decreased gradually with time with statistical difference at 12 hours (CREB protein: 0.38±0.03 vs. 1, p-CREB protein:0.38±0.03 vs. 1, both 1 < 0.01). Compared with TBI group, the protein expressions of AQP4 in AQP4 RNAi group was significantly decreased (1 hour: 1.02±0.04 vs. 2.23±0.05, 6 hours: 1.23±0.03 vs. 2.59±0.04, 12 hours: 2.20±0.08 vs. 5.03±0.09, all 1 < 0.01), but there were no significant difference in the expressions of GCN2, CREB or p-CREB. There was no significant difference in the expression of protein between AQP4 RNAi negative group and TBI group.② The brain water content in TBI group was significantly higher than that in control group and sham group [(83.7±0.4)% vs. (76.2±0.2)%, (76.2±0.3)%, both 1 < 0.01]. The brain water content in AQP4 RNAi group [(78.8±0.3)%] was significantly decreased as compared with that in TBI group (1 < 0.01). The latency of Morris water maze test was significantly prolonged in the day 11, 13 and 15 after the injury of the TBI group and AQP4 RNAi group, and the exploration time was significantly shortened. Compared with TBI group, the incubation period of AQP4 RNAi group was significantly shortened at 15 days (s: 60.2±11.1 vs. 62.0±11.5, 1 < 0.05), and the exploration time was significantly prolonged (s: 37.0±8.5 vs. 32.7±9.2, 1 < 0.05). Conclusions The impairment of cognitive and learning memory function in rats after TBI was significantly related to the changes in CREB and GCN2 in cognitive and learning memory function. After RNAi treatment, the cognitive and learning and memory function of rats was not improved obviously, but the brain edema could be alleviated.

Objective To investigate the protein expression of the canonical transient receptor potential(TRPC)channel in the hippocampus of amyloidβprotein(Aβ)?induced Alzheimer’s disease(AD)mice. Methods A total of 36 ICR mice were randomly divided into AD group and control group,with 18 rats in each group. AD mice models were established by Aβ1?42 microinjection into the lateral intracerebroventricular. Learning and memory abilities of the mice were determined using Morris water maze. All TRPC1?TRPC7 mRNA levels in the hippocampus of the mice were detected using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT?PCR). Hippocampal TRPC4 protein expression was examined using immunofluorescence and Western blotting methods. Results Water maze test results showed that the escape latency of AD group were significant?ly longer than that of the control group(P<0.01),and that the target quadrant occupancy of AD group was significantly shortened(P<0.01)and the frequency of platform crossing of AD group was significantly reduced(P<0.01). RT?PCR results showed that all TRPC(TRPC1?TRPC7) mRNA were expressed in the hippocampal of both AD group and control group. Among these channels ,only TRPC4 mRNA levels of AD group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.01). Immunofluorescence images showed that TRPC4 expressed on the membrane of neurons and the intensities of the immunofluorescence of TRPC4 in AD group were stronger than that of control group. Western blotting results showed that the TRPC4 protein expression of AD group was higher than that of control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The increase of TRPC4 protein expression in the hippocampus of mice after intracerebroventricular injection of Aβ1?42 oligomers suggests that TRPC4 may be involved in the pathogenesis of AD induced by calcium homeostasis.

Discussion on the Importance of Medical Humanities Education in the Construction of Hospital Culture / 中国医学伦理学

Since human society entered the 21st century, the rapid development of medical technology also gave birth to a series of negative effects:medical service technology first, trust crisis of the doctor-patient relation-ship, and medical industry money worship. Especially in recent years, due to the lack of humanistic spirit in medi-cal institutions, the doctor -patient relationship is of the worst state in the history. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the medical humanities education in the construction of hospital culture. Aiming at the problems existing in the current medical industry, this paper expounds the importance of strengthening the humanistic education in the construction of hospital culture.

Correlation Study of Cognitive Disorder Induced by Ethanol and M1 Receptor in Hippocampus in Mice / 中国医科大学学报

Objective To investigate the effect of ethanol on level of the main hippocampal subtype of muscarinic receptor(M1)in mice,and evalu?ate whether the content change on this receptor could be linked with alterations in cognition,so as to further reveal the mechanism of brain damage in?duced by ethanol. Methods Sixty female mice were randomly divided into four groups. The model mice were induced by intragastric administration of ethanol at dose of 8%,16%,and 32%respectively of 0.2 mL/10 g for 8 weeks according to the protocol,and control group were treated with intra?gastric administration of distilled water. The capability of learning and memory were examined by Morris water maze,and ELISA method was used to measure the M1 receptor content in hippocampus in each group of mice. Results Compared with first day,the mean escape latency period on the fifth day was significantly shortened in each group. There was no significant difference between ethanol and control group for the mean escape latency period on the fifth day. Compared with the control group,the active time in the target quadrant was significantly shortened in 16%and 32%ethanol group. M1 receptor content in hippocampus formation was significantly decreased in all the ethanol group mice. The ethanol concentration was nega?tive correlated with the M1 receptor content. Conclusion Chronic alcoholism can induce the memory impairment in mice,which might be associat?ed with the low level of M1 receptor subtype in hippocampus of mice.
