Objective:To investigate the association between the polymorphisms of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis related genes SKA2, AVPR1B, CRHR2 and suicide attempts in patients with depression, and the interaction between the genes and environmental factors.Methods:From March 2017 to August 2018, sixty-one patients with depression who were hospitalized for suicide were selected (case group), and 57 subjects matched with the age, gender and education level of the case group (control group) were selected in the same period.Snapshot genotyping technique was used to test the genotypes of case group and control group.Barratt impulsivity scale (BIS-Ⅱ) and life event scale (LES) were used to assess the impulsive traits and mental stress of individuals in the past year.Chi-square test and independent sample t-test were used for inter group comparison by SPSS 22.0 software.Gene-environment interaction was analyzed by the generalized multi factor dimensionality reduction. Results:The total scores of BIS-Ⅱ and LES in case group(65.05± 11.14, 34.16±27.23) were higher than those in the control group (53.30 ± 9.07, 11.67±12.64), the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gene frequency and allele frequency of SKA2 and CRHR2 between the two groups ( P>0.05). The genotype frequency and allele frequency of rs28373064 of AVPR1B gene were significantly different between the two groups (χ 2=5.763, 4.279, both P<0.05), but there was no significant difference after Bonferroni correction ( P>0.05). The best interaction model in GMDR was the third-order model constructed by rs28373064 of AVPR1B gene, impulsive traits and life events, with the highest accuracy of 0.789 for sample test( P=0.001). In multiple genetic models, rs28373064 of AVPR1B gene was associated with attempted suicide behavior in patients with depression(dominant model: A/G-G/G ( OR=0.38, 95% CI=0.16-0.88, P=0.021), overdominant model: A/G ( OR=0.36, 95% CI=0.15-0.87, P=0.019), log-additive model: A/A, A/G and G/G ( OR=0.44, 95% CI=0.20-0.96, P=0.034)). Conclusion:rs28373064 polymorphism of AVPR1B gene is associated with attempted suicide behavior in patients with depression.AA genotype carriers of AVPR1B gene are more likely to commit suicide under the influence of life events and impulsive.

Objective:To investigate the influences of abnormal white matter micro-structures and stressful life events in relapse status of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).Methods:A prospective sutdy was performed; 108 patients with MDD were chosen as study subjects in our hospital from May 2017 to June 2018. All subjects underwent MR imaging scanning, and were followed up for 2 years after treatment (once every 3 months). Their relapse status were assessed by 4 th edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) criteria. The degrees of depression and existence and level of stressful life events in MDD patients were assessed by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Life Events Scale (LES). The differences of clinical data and white matter micro-structures between relapse and non-relapse patients were compared. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors for MDD relapse. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of influencing factors in MDD relapse. The correlations of white matter fractional anisotropy (FA) values with follow-up HDRS scores and follow-up LES scores were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:In the end, 92 patients were enrolled in the study, including 38 relapse patients and 54 non-relapse patients. As compared with those in the non-relapse group, patients in the relapse group showed younger onset age, higher incidence of disease onset, longer course of disease, higher LES scores (baseline), and higher HDRS and LES scores (follow-up), with significant differences ( P<0.05). FA values of the right superior longitudinal fasciculus and corpus callosum in the relapse patients were significantly decreased as compared with those in the non-relapse patients ( P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that FA values of the right superior longitudinal fasciculus ( OR=0.350, 95%CI: 0.168-0.728, P=0.005) and FA values of the corpus callosum ( OR=0.646, 95%CI: 0.438-0.951, P=0.027), and LES scores (follow-up) ( OR=1.483, 95%CI: 1.226-1.793, P=0.000) were independent influencing factors for relapse in MDD patients. ROC curve showed that the area under curve (AUC) of FA values of the right superior longitudinal fasciculus, FA values of the corpus callosum, and LES scores (follow-up) to predict MDD relapse were 0.655, 0.661 and 0.841, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that FA values of the superior right longitudinal fasciculus and FA values of the corpus callosum were significantly negatively correlated with HDRS scores (follow-up) ( r=-0.470, P=0.000; r=-0.398, P=0.004), and LES scores (follow-up) were significantly positively correlated with HDRS scores (follow-up) ( r=0.429, P=0.000). Conclusion:Abnormal white matter micro-structures and stressful life events are closely related to the relapse of MDD.

@#Background: Research has found that social network, social support and religiosity are associated with depression in elderly people. However, these predictors of depression have not been fully explored among the high risk elderly population. This study aims to examine the prevalence and factors associated with depression among Malaysian elderly subjects who had experienced major life events. Methods: This is a cross-section study of a subsample of 594 participants from the original sample of 2322 Malaysian elderly respondents, who had experienced major life events. Information on socio-demographic, social network, social support, religiosity and depression were collected through an interviewer-administered questionnaire. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated with depression among elderly who experienced major life events. Results: Overall prevalence of depression among subsample of Malaysian elderly facing major life events was 9.4%. The results showed that age (p≤0.01), income (p≤0.001) and social network (p≤0.05) were significant associated with depression. In other words, with increasing age, low income as well as small social network associated with high risk of developing depression among elderly who had experienced major life events Conclusion: Other than age and income, social network were also associated with depression among elderly respondents who had experienced major life events. Therefore, professionals who are working with elderly with major life events should seek ways to enhance elderly networking as one of the strategies to prevent depression.

<b>Introduction</b> : With the increase in proportion of female physicians in Japan, breaks in their career associated with life events have become more apparent. We are making efforts to improve the program of work-life balance for female students at Jichi Medical University (JMU) who have a 9-year obligation to practice in a rural area following graduation. The purpose of this study is to research the needs for career development and work-life balance programs desired by female students at JMU.<br><b>Methods</b> : A questionnaire was distributed to all 187 female students enrolled at JMU.<br><b>Results</b> : The proportions of those wanting to marry and give birth during their 9-year obligation term were 71% and 68.6%, respectively. The proportions of those feeling anxious about childbirth and work-life balance after graduation were 80.0% and 78.1%, respectively. Over 80% of subjects answered that they wanted to attend lectures by female physicians and group meetings with such physicians, and to receive information regarding support systems and career development. <br><b>Conclusion</b> : Female students at JMU tend to have greater concerns about life-events, but have an advantage in having opportunities for contact with female physicians who have contributed to rural practice. Clarifying role models for female medical students appears to be an expectation that our students have from our work-life balance programs.

Fundamento: La demencia frontotemporal es un trastorno degenerativo caracterizado por disturbios cognitivos o del comportamiento debido a la atrofia de los lóbulos frontales y temporales anteriores. No se han descrito casos que ocurran a partir de un evento vital estresante. Objetivo: Presentar un paciente con demencia frontotemporal que debuta después de un evento vital y que implica una peculiaridad para el diagnóstico y el manejo de estos pacientes así como para la posible relación causal. Presentación del caso: Paciente de 47 años con antecedentes de salud anterior y no antecedentes familiares de demencia o trastornos neurológicos que, inmediatamente después de un evento vital como lo fue la muerte de su hijo, desarrolla síntomas compatibles con una psicosis aguda y una depresión asociados a profundos trastornos de la conducta y del lenguaje típicos de una demencia frontotemporal. Las imágenes de resonancia magnética nuclear confirmaron la atrofia frontotemporal. Trascurrieron menos de dos años desde el primer síntoma hasta el diagnostico de la demencia. Conclusiones: A pesar de las evidencias morfológicas y epidemiológicas en contra, la posible relación causal entre los eventos vitales estresantes y el desarrollo ulterior de una demencia no deben descartarse.
Background: Frontotemporal dementia is a degenerative disorder characterized by atrophy of frontal and anterior parietal lobes. Cases of frontotemporal dementia that occur after a stressful life event have not been described. Objective: To present a case of frontotemporal dementia that took place after a stressful life event and implies a peculiarity for diagnosis and management of these patients and for the causal relationship. Case report: A 47 year-old male, previously healthy, and without a family history of dementia or neurological diseases, immediately after a stressful life event such as the death of his son, developed symptoms compatible with an acute psychosis or depression associated with severe behavioral and language disorders typical of a frontotemporal dementia. Magnetic Resonance Imaging study confirmed the diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. Less than two years passed from the first symptom until the diagnosis of dementia. Conclusions: In spite of morphological and epidemiological evidences against, the possible causal relation between the stressful life events and the onset of dementias can not be ruled out and deserve a deeper study.

Un estudio retrospectivo transversal con 304 estudiantes universitarios y sus familiares indagó sobre el hecho de cambio extremo más importante de los últimos años, su impacto en las creencias básicas y en el crecimiento personal posterior al hecho. Los hechos positivos refuerzan mucho más las creencias básicas positivas de lo que los negativos transforman estas creencias de positivas en neutras. En cambio, los hechos positivos las transforman de positivas en muy positivas. El desarrollo de nuevas posibilidades y cambio de prioridades en la vida los producen tanto hechos positivos como negativos extremos. Los hechos negativos producen específicamente efectos de crecimiento en la fortaleza personal y en darse cuenta que se puede contar con otros o mejorar las relaciones con otros. El cambio de creencias básicas se asoció congruentemente con el crecimiento personal en el caso de hechos positivos y ambivalentes.
A retrospective cross-sectional study with a sample of 304 university students and relatives asked about the most important recent extreme life change events, its impact on basic beliefs and on personal growth following the life event. Positive events reinforce positive basic beliefs much more than negative events transform these beliefs from positive to neutral. On the other hand, positive events transform them from positive into highly positive. It was also found that extreme positive events generate as much growth or flourishing after its onset as negative events. The development of new possibilities and changes of life priorities are produced by both positive and negative extreme events. Negative events specifically produce growth effects of reinforcement of personal strength and of valuing social support. Changes in basic beliefs are congruently associated with personal growth in the case of positive and ambivalent events.

Objective: To screen out suspected risk factors associated with neurosis, such as personality dis-order, life events, parental rearing behavior, and to explore degree of their associations. Methods: A case-control study was carried out among 100 cases with neurosis and 200 controls without mental disorder, matched by gender and age (+3 years) . The Life Events Scale (LES), Parental Rearing Style Questionnaire (EMBU), Personali-ty Diagnostic Questionnaire (PDQ-4) were self-reported by the subjects. Results: Single factor analysis showed that there were statistical differences (P <0.05) between case and control groups in negative life event (22.5 vs. 2.5), paternal rejection [(40.4±14.1) vs.(35.4±7.9)], paternal overprotection [(29.1±7.5)vs.(28.2±5.6)], maternal rejection rearing behavior [(40.4±13.7)vs.(36.8±8.5)], and overall personality disorder [(29.8±14.1)vs.(17.1±13.0)] . Using non-conditional logistic regression analysis, the potential protective factor was positive events (OR=0.92, 95% CI:0.87-0.98), and the potential risk factors included negative live events (OR=1.06, 95% CI:1.04～1.08) and overall personality disorder (OR=4.84, 95% CI: 2.24～10.49) . Conclusion: Positive life event may be a protective factor for neurosis, while negative life e-vent and personality disorder may be risk factors.

Objective To explore the influence of occupational stress and negative life events that occur during pregnancy on different types of low birth weight (LBW). Methods 438 singleton LBW infants (birth weight of less than 2500 g and their pregnancy term from 28 to 42 weeks) were selected as case group, and they were further divided into symmetric LBW infants (337 cases) and asymmetric LBW infants (101 cases). According to situation of each LBW infant, a singleton with full term and normal birth weight was selected as control group matched by sex, pregnancy term, time during delivery and types of hospital.All of their mothers were inquired by well trained investigators on their socio-demographic characteristics, occupational stress, and negative life events that occurred in different pregnancy term. After controlling for mother's age, occupation,education level and family income, multinomial logistic regression was employed to asses the influence of occupational stress and negative life events on symmetric LBW and asymmetric LBW. Results Compared with those using low technical skills, mothers with high technical skill utilization significantly decreased the risk of laboring both symmetric LBW ( OR = 0.69, 95 ％ CI:0.49-0.98) and asymmetric LBW (OR = 0.53,95％CI: 0.31-0.89). Compared with those without exposure to negative life events, mothers with negative life event score ≥ 3 in the whole duration of pregnancy had significantly increased the risk of delivering symmetric LBW ( OR = 2.30, 95％ CI : 1.08-4.88), mothers with negative life event score ≥3 in the middle three months of pregnancy, ≥3 in the last three months of pregnancy, = 2 and ≥3 in the whole duration of pregnancy had significantly increased the risk of delivering asymmetric LBW, and their OR (95 ％ CI ) was 8.85 (1.97-39.68), 3.80 ( 1.40-10.29 ),3.58(1.33-9.66) and 3.48 (1.32-9.13), respectively. Conclusion Occupational stress and negative life events might produce different influence on symmetric LBW and negative life events that occurr in the different terms of pregnancy had different impact on symmetric LBW and asymmetric LBW.
