Mediating role of stressful life events between sleep chronotype and depressive mood in adolescents / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#A longitudinal mediating model was designed to explore the relationship between sleep chronotype and depressive mood with stressful life events as the mediating variable, so as to provide reference basis for preventing depression in adolescents.@*Methods@#From March (T1) to October (T2) 2022, the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire, and Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale were administered in 1 251 middle school students in the first and second grades of a middle school in Meishan, Sichuan Province for a follow up study. Two wave of date on sleep time type, stressful life events, and depressive moods were collected.@*Results@#At T1, the detection rate of depressive mood was 22.5% in adolescents but 27.0% at T2.At the same time point, there were significant positive correlations between chronotype, stressful life events and depressive mood ( r=0.06-0.69, P <0.05). Cross lagged model results showed that early sleep chronotype could significantly predict later depressive mood ( β=0.53, P <0.05), and early depressive mood could significantly predict later sleep chronotype ( β=0.01, P <0.01). Longitudinal mediation model analysis showed that T1 sleep chronotype not only directly affected T2 depressive mood (direct effect value=1.421, 95% CI =0.985- 1.858 , P <0.01), but also affect T2 depressive mood through the partial mediating effects of T2 stressful life events (indirect effect value=1.268, 95% CI =0.810-1.726, P <0.05). Although T1 depressive mood was a direct predictor of T2 sleep chronotype (direct effect value=0.025, 95% CI =0.017-0.032), it was not a direct predictor of T2 sleep chronotype by partial intermediate action of T2 stressful life events (indirect effect value=-0.001, 95% CI = -0.006- 0.004, P >0.05).@*Conclusions@#Sleep chronotype can not only directly predict depressive mood of adolescents, but also indirectly affect depressive mood of adolescents through the longitudinal mediating effect of stressful life events. To prevent depression and improve mental health in this population, adolescents should develop the habit of early sleep schedule, and improve their ability to cope with stressful life events.

The significance of renal tubular dysfunction in patients with refractoriness nephritic syndrome and interference study with Valsartan / 中国医师杂志

Objective To investigate the significance of renal tubular dysfunction in patients with refractoriness nephrotic syndrome(RNS)and the effect of interference treatment of Valsartan (VAL).Methods 79 cases of RNS and 68 healthy controls were recruited into the study. The 79 patients of RNS were divided randomly into the VAL group and the dipyridam group. On the basis of routine therapy, the VAL group was given VAL(80mg/d),and the dipyridam group taken dipyridam (150mg/d)orally for 12 weeks The glomerular tubular function(u-RBP,α1-MG,β2-MG,mAlb,NAG)were detected and the pathologic changes of tubukinterstitium were observed by using the methods of ELISA, biochemistry and scoring of the pathologic damage of tubulointerstitium before and after 12 weeks of VAL treatment in all of the cases. Results Urinary RBP,α1-MG,β2-MG,mAlb and NAG in all patients with RNS was evidently higher than that in healthy controls(P＜0.01).Those had positive correlations with damages of tubulointerstitium(r=0.436,0.626,0.499,0.668,0.657,P＜0.01).The interference outcome displayed that the excretion rates of urinary series of protein after oral use VAL in treatment group were markedly lower, while the control group had no distinct change. Conclusion There were various injury of tubulointerstitium and the disfiguration of renal tubular function in all cases with RNS. Damages of renal tubular function had positive correlation with tubulointemtitium injury and renal globular injury. Interference treatment with ARB in patients with RNS could improve renal tubular function, which is of great significance in delaying the progress of RNS.

Analysis on Application of Essential Drugs in Our Hospital from Jan. to Sep. of 2009 / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To increase using essential drug in medical institutions in order to provide reference for essential drug list in future. METHODS:Statistical analysis was applied to analyze the consumption sum and using situation of essential drugs in our hospital and each department from Jan to Sep in 2009. RESULTS:The total consumption sum was 64,431 million yuan,of which consumption sum of essential drugs accounted for 15.24% and reached 9.819 million yuan. Chinese medicine injection and antibiotics took up big proportion. Essential drugs used rationally in department of hematology and neurology. CONCLUSION:Application of essential drugs should be improved in our hospital.
