RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Currently, most postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening scales used in China are general PTSD scales which are not compiled specifically for pregnant women and thus cannot reflect the unique needs of this population. This study aimed to translate the City Birth Trauma Scale (City BiTS) into Chinese and validate its psychometric characteristics in Chinese postpartum women. METHODS: After translation, back-translation, and expert discussion, 596 mothers at 1 to 12 months postpartum filled out the questionnaires through the Internet. The reliability and validity of the translated questionnaire were tested. RESULTS: The Cronbach's α coefficient of the Chinese version of City BiTS (City BiTS-C) was 0.889, the test-retest reliability was 0.86, and the content validity was 0.93. Exploratory factor analysis extracted two factors accounted for 63.148% of the variance. The City BiTS-C had appropriate construct validity in the Chinese culture (root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.048, <0.05; χ2 /df = 2.666, <3). The values of the incremental fit index (IFI) and the Tucker-Lewis coefficient (TLI) were 0.990 and 0.976, which identified that the model was a good fit for the data. The values of the comparative fit index (CFI) and the normed fit index (NFI) were 0.890 and 0.873, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The City BiTS-C is a reliable and valid measure to screening and diagnosis the postpartum PTSD among new mothers who gave birth in the past year in mainland China. IMPLICATIONS: The City BiTS-C is a short, reliable, and valid instrument that measures the symptoms of postpartum PTSD, and it is recommend for clinical screening.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To explore the effects of PAK4/LIMK1/Cofilin-1 signaling pathway on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of human osteosarcoma cells. METHODS: The expression of PAK4/LIMK1/Cofilin-1 was detected by immunohistochemistry in osteosarcoma tissues. The osteosarcoma cell line MG63 was transfected and divided into Mock, Control siRNA, si-PAK4, LIMK1, and si-PAK4+LIMK1 groups. Then, the cellular biological features of MG63 cells were detected by CCK-8, wound-healing, Transwell, and flow cytometry methods. The relationship of PAK4 and LIMK1 was performed by co-immunoprecipitation test, and the protein expression of PAK4/LIMK1/Cofilin-1 was determined by Western blotting. Finally, the effect of PAK4 on the growth of osteosarcoma was verified by subcutaneous transplantation model of osteosarcoma in nude mice. RESULTS: The expression of PAK4/LIMK1/Cofilin-1 in both osteosarcoma tissues and cells was up-regulated. Positive PAK4, LIMK1, and Cofilin-1 expressions in osteosarcoma were associated with the clinical stage, distant metastasis, and tumor grade. The MG63 cell viability, migration, and invasion, as well as the expression of PAK4, p-LIMK/LIMK, and p-Cofilin-1/Cofilin-1, were restrained by the knock down of PAK4 while it promoted apoptosis. PAK4 silencing also suppressed the growth of subcutaneous transplanted tumor in nude mice. Co-immunocoprecipitation showed that LIMK and PAK4 protein can form complex in osteosarcoma cells. Besides, LIMK1 overexpression reversed the inhibition effect of PAK4 siRNA on the growth of osteosarcoma cells. CONCLUSION: The expression of PAK4/LIMK1/Cofilin-1 pathway in osteosarcoma tissues was up-regulated. Thus, PAK4 inhibition may restrict the osteosarcoma cell proliferation, invasion, and migration but promote its apoptosis via decreasing the activity of LIMK1/Cofilin-1 pathway.
