RESUMO
BackgroundThe persistently high prevalence of insomnia seriously affects the quality of life of all populations. Studies showed that state-trait anxiety， resilience and neuroticism are related to the occurrence of insomnia， while the research on the relationship among the four factors in college students is still insufficient. ObjectiveTo discuss the impact of neuroticism on insomnia among college students， and to examine the mediating role of state-trait anxiety and resilience in the relationship between neuroticism and insomnia， thus providing references for the intervention of insomnia in college students. MethodsFrom September to December 2020， simple random sampling techniques were utilized to select 1 416 students in a university in Sichuan province， and all subjects were assessed using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory （STAI）， Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC）， Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory-15 （CBF-PI-15） and Insomnia Severity Index （ISI）. Then Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation among the above four scales， and the mediating role of STAI and CD-RISC in the relationship between CBF-PI-15 neuroticism dimension and ISI was verified by Process macro mediation analysis. ResultsInsomnia was reported in 241/1 416 （17.02%） college students. The prevalence rate of insomnia in male students was higher than that in female students， with statistical difference （χ2=16.417， P<0.01）. Total ISI score was positively correlated with CBF-PI-15 neuroticism dimension and total STAI score （r=0.127， 0.563， P<0.01）， and negatively correlated with total CD-RISC score （r=-0.149， P<0.01）. State-trait anxiety and resilience of college students had a chain mediation effect on the relationship between neuroticism and insomnia （indirect effect size was -0.011）， and the size of direct effect of neuroticism on insomnia was 0.120， accounting for 75.00% of the total effect. ConclusionState-trait anxiety and resilience of college students exert a chain mediation effect on the relationship between neuroticism and insomnia， so the neuroticism causes an impact on insomnia both directly and indirectly through the chain mediating effect of state-trait anxiety and resilience.
RESUMO
Objective:To report the clinical manifestation and genetic characteristics of a case of de novo Huntington′s disease due to paternal intermediate alleles. Methods:Clinical data and imaging features of a middle-aged female, who complained of unstable walking without positive family history and was admitted to Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University on September 20, 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. The serum samples of the patient and her parents were used to screen HTT gene dynamic mutation in accordance with the principle of informed consent and voluntary. And the relevant literatures were reviewed. Results:This is a 38-year-old female with progressive course, who presented as ataxia, involuntary movement at the end of extremities, dystonia, and cognitive impairment. Imaging results showed atrophy of bilateral caudate nuclei, as well as decreased glucose metabolism of bilateral caudate nuclei, putamen and partial cortex. Genetic testing showed the abnormal expansion of polymorphic trinucleotide (CAG) repeats in HTT gene and confirmed the diagnosis of Huntington′s disease. The CAG repeat length of the patient was 17/47 (pathopoiesis), of the father was 17/35 (intermediate alleles), and of the mother was 17/17 (normal). Conclusions:Paternal intermediate alleles may cause the first case of Huntington′s disease in a family. Importantly, HTT gene screening should be performed for the patient and parents when the diagnosis of Huntington′s disease is clinically possible despite negative family history, to prevent the misdiagnosis.
RESUMO
Natural long-chain alkanol and alkyl carboxylic acid were used to prepare novel hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents(HDESs).These HDESs are liquid at room temperature and have low viscosity(＜12.26 mPa-s),low polarity(lower than that of methanol,ChCl-based deep eutectic solvents and other reported HDESs),and low density(＜0.928 g/mL).A simple one-pot method based on a novel HDES-water two-phase extraction system was constructed for the extraction of weak-polarity bioactive components,anthraquinones,from Rhei Radix et Rhizoma.This HDES-based new extraction method does not consume hazardous organic solvents and can obtain a total anthraquinone yield of 21.52 mg/g,which is close to that obtained by the Chinese pharmacopoeia method(21.22 mg/g)and considerably higher than those by other reported HDESs-based extraction methods(14.20-20.09 mg/g,p＜0.01).The high extraction yield can be mainly attributed to the severe destruction of the RRR cell walls by the extraction system and the excellent dissolving ability of novel HDESs for anthraquinones.
RESUMO
For the current situation of the time background and the cultivation of innovation ability of undergraduates, the problems of fracture classification, function evaluation and postoperative rehabilitation were realized by a software research team which mainly consisted of medical undergrad-uates. We put the project into practice in forms of software production and software promotion trial separately in the field of teaching and clinical practice to encourage students to be involved in learn-ing in the process of software production of professional knowledge. The implementation of the project worked well, and developed the well-designed relevant mobile software which was convenient in clini-cal practice and acquired computer software copyright, indicating that it can effectively motivate the undergraduates' innovation interest and consciousness through participating in the various links and the software production process, and it can also contribute to the cultivation of the comprehensive practical and innovation ability of medical undergraduates.
