背景介绍焦虑症是最常见的精神障碍之一,通常伴有睡眠障碍,而睡眠障碍又会加重焦虑症状,形成恶性循环。除精神药物疗法外,认知行为疗法(CBT)等心理疗法对治疗焦虑症和失眠症的有效性也得到了充分的证明和广泛的认可,但这种疗法耗费大量人力物力,而且成本高昂。然而,整合了虚拟现实技术(VR)的认知行为疗法可能会改善这种状况,但还需要更多证据来支持其在常规临床实践中的广泛应用:本探索性研究旨在对2021年1月至2021年6月期间,暨南大学附属广东省第二综合医院精神科收治的被诊断为焦虑症并同时伴有明显失眠症状的患者进行回顾性分析,评估虚拟现实整合放松和正念训练在改善焦虑和失眠症状方面的急性(2周)增强效果:方法:根据纳入标准和排除标准对2021年1月1日至2021年6月30日期间精神科收治的所有患者进行筛选,并使用自行设计的病例报告表(CRF)从医院的电子病历系统中收集纳入患者的社会人口学和临床数据。仅接受药物治疗的受试者被定为常规组,而接受药物治疗并结合VR-CBT(VR放松和正念练习)的受试者被定为VR组。比较两组患者的基线和治疗后两周的数据:共有 103 名患者(70 名女性,占 68%)参与研究。其中 68 人(66.02%)被指定为 "VR 组",35 人(33.98%)被指定为 "常规组"。大多数患者(67%)被诊断为广泛性焦虑症(GAD)。23名患者(22.3%)合并有原发性失眠诊断,其余80名受试者的失眠只是焦虑症的伴随症状之一。除职业外,VR 组和传统组在所有基线社会人口学和临床特征方面均无明显统计学差异。在焦虑症状或失眠症状的缓解率以及汉密尔顿焦虑评分量表或失眠严重程度指数总分的降低率方面,传统组和 VR 组之间存在统计学意义上的显著差异。无论是焦虑症还是失眠症,VR 组的缓解率或得分降低率均高于常规组。在对 "职业 "这一变量进行控制后,仍存在稳健的差异:为期两周的增强型 VR 综合放松和正念练习对缓解焦虑和失眠症状有显著疗效,值得推荐用于常规临床实践。需要进一步开展前瞻性随机研究,将其与传统的CBT进行比较,探讨其对焦虑和失眠的急性和长期影响。

Study objective

The aim of our study was to elucidate differences in brain activity patterns among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, OSA patients with depressive symptoms, and healthy controls (HCs). We also investigated the relationship between brain function and depression in OSA patients.

Methods

A total of 95 subjects were included in the study, including 34 OSA patients without depressive symptoms, 31 OSA patients with depressive symptoms, and 30 HCs. The 53-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to monitor the concentration of oxy-hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) in the brain, whereas the participants performed the verbal fluency task, and the degree of depression was scored using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17). Hierarchical regression models were conducted to analyze the association of fNIRS features with depressive symptom.

Results

The Oxy-Hb changes of the three groups were significantly different in Channels 25 (H = 9.878, p = .007) and 43 (H = 6.957, p = .031). Inter-group comparisons showed that the Oxy-Hb change of Channel 25 (located in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [DLPFC]) in OSA group was less than that in HC group (p = .006), and the Oxy-Hb change of Channel 43 (located in the right frontal polar region) in OSA group with depression was less than that in OSA group (p = .025). Spearman's test showed that there was a significant negative correlation between HAMD-17 scores and mean Oxy-Hb changes in Channel 43 (r = −.319, p < .05) in the OSA patients. Using hierarchical regression, Oxy-Hb changes in Channel 43 accounted for a significant proportion of the variation in outcome variables, even when accounting for other polysomnography features.

Conclusions:

Changes in the hemodynamic response of DLPFC may be a potential mechanism of executive dysfunction in OSA patients. And the right frontal polar region may be significant in assessing depressive symptoms in patients with OSA.

研究目的我们的研究旨在阐明阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)患者、伴有抑郁症状的OSA患者和健康对照组(HCs)之间大脑活动模式的差异。我们还研究了 OSA 患者大脑功能与抑郁症之间的关系:研究共纳入 95 名受试者,包括 34 名无抑郁症状的 OSA 患者、31 名有抑郁症状的 OSA 患者和 30 名健康对照组(HCs)。采用 53 通道功能性近红外光谱(fNIRS)监测大脑中氧血红蛋白(Oxy-Hb)的浓度,同时让受试者完成语言流畅性任务,并使用 17 项汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表(HAMD-17)对受试者的抑郁程度进行评分。研究人员采用层次回归模型分析了fNIRS特征与抑郁症状的关联:结果:三组的血氧-血红蛋白变化在通道 25(H = 9.878,p = .007)和通道 43(H = 6.957,p = .031)有显著差异。组间比较显示,OSA组第25通道(位于背外侧前额叶皮层[DLPFC])的Oxy-Hb变化小于HC组(p = .006),OSA伴抑郁组第43通道(位于右额极区)的Oxy-Hb变化小于OSA组(p = .025)。DLPFC血流动力学反应的变化可能是导致OSA患者执行功能障碍的潜在机制。右额极区可能对评估 OSA 患者的抑郁症状有重要意义。

Objectives

Epilepsy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are common neurological disorders. The association between the two disorders has been raised in observational studies. However, it is uncertain to what extent they have mutual causal effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate their causal association using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method.

Methods

We performed a two-sample bidirectional MR analysis to evaluate the causal association of epilepsy with the risk of ALS. Publicly published genome-wide association study statistics for epilepsy and ALS were used in the study. The primary analysis included genetic variants with a p value of less than 1 × 10–5 as instrumental variables. We applied several alternative methods, including inverse variance weighting, weighted median, simple mode, weighted mode, MR-Egger regression and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier, and statistical graphs to assess the associations of epilepsy and its subtype with the risk of ALS. Reverse MR analyses were also performed to examine the association of ALS with the risk of epilepsy.

Results

The primary MR analysis found no causal effect of epilepsy on risk of ALS (odds ration [OR]: 1.133, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.964–1.332, p = .130). Among subtypes of epilepsy, it also failed to observe any causal association between general epilepsy and ALS (OR: 1.036, 95% CI: 0.969–1.108, P = .300). However, focal epilepsy contributed to an increase in the risk of ALS (OR: 1.177, 95% CI: 1.027–1.348, p = .019). Moreover, the investigation of reverse causalities did not reveal significant results.

Conclusions

The current study supports a causal influence of focal epilepsy on ALS risk. Future studies are needed to explore its potential role in ALS.

目的 癫痫和肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症(ALS)是常见的神经系统疾病。观察性研究发现,这两种疾病之间存在关联。然而,目前还不能确定这两种疾病在多大程度上存在互为因果的效应。在本研究中,我们旨在使用双样本孟德尔随机化(MR)方法研究它们之间的因果关系。 方法 我们进行了双样本双向 MR 分析,以评估癫痫与 ALS 风险的因果关系。研究采用了公开发表的癫痫和 ALS 全基因组关联研究统计数据。主要分析将 p 值小于 1 × 10-5 的遗传变异作为工具变量。我们采用了几种替代方法,包括反方差加权法、加权中位数法、简单模式法、加权模式法、MR-Egger 回归法和 MR pleiotropy 残差和离群值法,以及统计图表法来评估癫痫及其亚型与 ALS 风险的关联。此外,还进行了反向磁共振分析,以研究 ALS 与癫痫风险的关联。 结果 主要的 MR 分析发现,癫痫与 ALS 风险没有因果关系(赔率 [OR]:1.133,95% 置信区间 [CI]:0.964-1.332, p = .130).在癫痫的亚型中,也没有观察到一般癫痫与 ALS 之间存在任何因果关系(OR:1.036,95% 置信区间:0.969-1.108,P = .300)。然而,局灶性癫痫会导致 ALS 风险增加(OR:1.177,95% CI:1.027-1.348,P = .019)。此外,对反向因果关系的调查也未发现显著结果。 结论 目前的研究支持局灶性癫痫对 ALS 风险的因果影响。未来的研究需要探索其在 ALS 中的潜在作用。

Aim

In the aftermath of natural disasters, understanding the intricate links between mental health and physiological responses, such as menstrual cycle patterns, becomes crucial. This study explores the relationship between post-traumatic stress and menstrual irregularities among women of reproductive age residing in regions affected by the 2023 earthquake in Turkey.

Methods

309 women of reproductive age living in 11 provinces affected by the earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023 and declared as disaster areas constituted the study sample. Data were collected online using Google forms nine months after the earthquake. The collected data were obtained using the Participant Information Form, Impact of Events Scale and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder-Short Form. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics such as count, percentage, median, minimum, and maximum were used, along with statistical tests including the Mann–Whitney U test, chi-squared test, multiple logistic regression analysis, and ROC analysis.

Results

In the study, an increase in menstrual irregularities among women was observed following the earthquake (%14.3 to %44.8, p < .001). Risk factors for menstrual irregularities included post-traumatic stress symptoms, comorbid chronic diseases, and smoking. The prevalence of PTSD was found to be 22.7% and this was associated with women with menstrual irregularities. Setting the cut-off score of the IES-R scale at 45.50 resulted in higher sensitivity for detecting irregular menstrual cycles.

Conclusions

Women's menstrual cycles are affected after an earthquake. Therefore, post-earthquake mental health recovery programs should specifically address the protection of women's physical and mental health. This comprehensive approach can reduce the effects of earthquake-induced stress and trauma.

自然灾害发生后,了解心理健康与生理反应(如月经周期模式)之间错综复杂的联系变得至关重要。本研究探讨了居住在土耳其 2023 年地震灾区的育龄妇女的创伤后应激反应与月经不调之间的关系。

Background

Empathy has been associated with a range of positive outcomes, including social connection, pro-social behavior, and mental health. Nonetheless, acknowledging the multidimensional aspects of empathy, budding research indicates that sometimes empathy may precipitate negative health outcomes.

Aim

In the present paper, we explore the extent to which the multidimensional aspects of empathy—as measured by the Interpersonal Reactivity Index—may relate to the experience of increased stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also examine potential behavioral moderators (altruism) and social mediators (loneliness) of any such effect.

Method

We conducted a cross-sectional survey study of 2595 Danish university students and implemented linear regression analyses to determine the relationships between our key variables.

Results

In both crude and adjusted regression models, our findings indicate positive associations between the IRI subscales Fantasy, Empathic Concern, and Personal Distress on self-reported stress and loneliness. Perspective Taking was marginally and inversely associated with stress but not loneliness. Altruism did not moderate these associations, but loneliness did mediate the effects of Fantasy, Empathic Concern, and Personal Distress on stress.

Discussion

Our results emphasize the importance of conceptualizing empathy in multi-dimensional terms. Further, our study highlights the potential negative health consequences of empathy in certain settings. These results may help focus future research in this area and feed into mental health interventions.

背景移情与一系列积极的结果有关,包括社会联系、亲社会行为和心理健康。然而,由于移情具有多维性,新近的研究表明,有时移情可能会导致负面的健康结果。 目的 在本文中,我们探讨了人际反应指数(Interpersonal Reactivity Index)所测量的共情的多维性在多大程度上可能与 COVID-19 大流行期间压力增加的体验有关。我们还研究了任何此类影响的潜在行为调节因素(利他主义)和社会中介因素(孤独感)。 方法 我们对 2595 名丹麦大学生进行了横截面调查研究,并通过线性回归分析来确定关键变量之间的关系。 结果 在粗略回归模型和调整回归模型中,我们的研究结果表明,IRI 子量表 "幻想"、"移情关注 "和 "个人苦恼 "与自我报告的压力和孤独感之间存在正相关。观点采纳与压力呈微弱的反比关系,但与孤独感无关。利他主义并不能调节这些关联,但孤独感却能调节幻想、移情关注和个人痛苦对压力的影响。 讨论 我们的研究结果强调了从多维角度来看待移情的重要性。此外,我们的研究还强调了共情在某些情况下对健康的潜在负面影响。这些结果可能有助于未来在这一领域的研究重点,并为心理健康干预措施提供依据。

Introduction

Identifying sensory processing problems of 12-month-old preterm and term children and defining their relationship with motor skills are essential for appropriate interventions and optimal sensory-motor development. This study aimed to determine sensory processing difficulties in 12-month-old babies and examine their relationship with motor skills.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study included 61 infants (28 preterm and 33 full-term, ages 12 months). The infants' sensory processing skills were evaluated using the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI), and their gross and fine motor skills were assessed with the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2).

Results:

Sensory processing difficulties were more common in preterm babies. Multiple linear regression models indicated a significant positive association between PDMS-2 gross/fine motor scores and TFSI total scores, reactivity to tactile deep pressure, and ocular-motor control in the total sample. Furthermore, there was a relationship between gross motor and adaptive motor function, and fine motor scores were found to be associated with visual-tactile integration sensory scores.

Conclusions

Preterm babies are more likely than their full-term peers to have sensory processing problems around the age of one, which can affect their motor skills. The results support the relationship between children's sensory and motor processing skills. Practitioners such as occupational and physical therapists should be alert to this relationship in infants with sensory processing and motor problems. Taking this relationship into consideration when planning intervention programs can be a guide for an effective intervention.

引言 找出 12 个月大早产儿和足月儿的感觉处理问题,并确定这些问题与运动技能之间的关系,对于采取适当的干预措施和实现最佳的感觉运动发展至关重要。本研究旨在确定 12 个月大婴儿的感觉处理障碍,并研究其与运动技能之间的关系。 研究方法 这项横断面研究包括 61 名婴儿(28 名早产儿和 33 名足月儿,年龄均为 12 个月)。使用婴儿感觉功能测试(TSFI)评估了婴儿的感觉处理技能,并使用皮博迪运动发育量表-2(PDMS-2)评估了婴儿的大运动和精细运动技能。 结果显示 早产儿更容易出现感觉处理障碍。多元线性回归模型显示,在所有样本中,PDMS-2粗大/精细运动得分与TFSI总分、对触觉深压的反应能力和眼球运动控制能力之间存在显著的正相关。此外,粗大运动和适应性运动功能之间存在关系,精细运动得分与视觉-触觉整合感觉得分相关。 结论 早产儿比足月儿更容易在一岁左右出现感觉处理问题,这会影响他们的运动技能。研究结果支持儿童的感官和运动处理技能之间的关系。职业治疗师和物理治疗师等从业人员应该对有感官处理和运动问题的婴儿的这种关系保持警惕。在规划干预计划时,将这种关系考虑在内,可以为有效的干预提供指导。

Introduction

Traumatic memories (TM) are a core feature of stress-related disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Treatment is often difficult, and specific pharmacological interventions are lacking. We present a novel non-pharmacological intervention called motor interference therapy (MIT) as a promising alternative for these symptoms.

Aims

To determine the feasibility of MIT, a brief, audio-delivered, and non-pharmacological intervention that uses cognitive and motor tasks to treat TM.

Methods

We designed a randomized, double-blind trial. Twenty-eight participants from an outpatient clinic with at least one TM were included to receive either MIT or progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). Spanish versions of the PTSD symptom severity scale (EGS), visual analog scale for TM (TM–VAS), and quality of life (EQ–VAS) were applied prior to intervention, 1 week, and 1 month following intervention.

Results

Mean scores on all measures improved from baseline to posttest for both groups. MIT participants showed significantly more positive scores at 1 week and 1 month (TM–VAS baseline: 9.8 ± 0.4; immediate: 6.0 ± 2.0; 1 week: 3.8 ± 3.1 [d = 1.57]; 1 month 2.9 ± 2.8 [d = 1.93]) than PMR participants on measures of distress due to TM, trauma re-experiencing, anxiety, and a composite measure of PTSD.

Conclusion

MIT is a simple, effective, and easy-to-use tool for treating TM and other stress-related symptoms. It requires relatively few resources and could be adapted to many contexts. The results provide proof-of-principle support for conducting future research with larger cohorts and controls to improve clinical effectiveness and research on brief interventions.

Introduction

This study aims to explore the relationship between affective personality traits and opioid use disorder (OUD), including factors such as motivation to quit, addiction severity, and age of onset of drug use.

Methods

This study included 141 patients with opioid addiction (OAP) and 160 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). OAP were interviewed and diagnosed according to DSM-5 criteria. HC were screened for past or current drug use. Participants completed sociodemographic forms and the Affective Neuroscience Personality Scale (ANPS), and the OAP group also completed the Addiction Profile Index (API).

Results

SEEK, PLAY, and SADNESS were identified as different affective personality traits between OAP and HC groups. Addiction severity was positively correlated with SADNESS and ANGER, while the age of onset of drug use was correlated with ANGER. Risk factors for OA include family history of substance abuse, low education, and low PLAY scores, whereas risk factors for earlier substance use onset are childhood trauma and high ANGER scores.

Conclusions

This study highlights the importance of understanding affective personality traits in OUD. These findings may deepen our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OUD. The identification of these affective systems may have implications for the development of personalized prevention and treatment strategies.

引言 本研究旨在探讨情感型人格特质与阿片类药物使用障碍(OUD)之间的关系,包括戒毒动机、成瘾严重程度和开始使用药物的年龄等因素。 方法 本研究包括 141 名阿片类药物成瘾患者(OAP)和 160 名年龄和性别匹配的健康对照组(HC)。根据 DSM-5 标准对阿片类药物成瘾患者进行了访谈和诊断。对健康对照组进行了筛查,以了解他们过去或现在是否吸毒。参与者填写了社会人口学表格和情感神经科学人格量表(ANPS),OAP 组还填写了成瘾特征指数(API)。 结果 "寻求"(SEEK)、"玩耍"(PLAY)和 "忧伤"(SADNESS)被认为是 OAP 组和 HC 组之间不同的情感人格特质。成瘾严重程度与 "悲伤 "和 "愤怒 "呈正相关,而开始吸毒的年龄与 "愤怒 "相关。OA 的风险因素包括家族药物滥用史、低教育程度和低 PLAY 分数,而较早开始使用药物的风险因素则是童年创伤和高 ANGER 分数。 结论 本研究强调了了解情感型人格特征在 OUD 中的重要性。这些发现可能会加深我们对 OUD 潜在机制的理解。识别这些情感系统可能会对制定个性化的预防和治疗策略产生影响。

Introduction

Cognitive changes are very frequently reported by people with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS), but there is limited understanding of the underpinning mechanisms leading to these difficulties. It is possible that cognitive difficulties are related to immune status and/or low mood. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between immune status and cognitive functioning in PCS, while considering whether depression symptoms also influence this association.

Methods

Participants were recruited in an online study of cognitive and psychological consequences of PCS, involving individuals attending a post-COVID clinic in an acute general hospital in Ireland, and a comparison sample of age- and sex-matched community controls who had also been infected with COVID-19 but had not experienced PCS. Participants with PCS (n = 71) and community controls (n = 50) completed the immune status questionnaire, Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F).

Results

Significant differences were observed between groups in terms of perceived immune status, perceived cognitive function, depression scores, and fatigue, with the “PCS” group reporting lower immune status, more cognitive difficulties, and higher levels of depression and fatigue. Regression analysis in the PCS group indicated that immune status and depression significantly contributed to variance in subjective cognitive functioning, with immune status remaining a significant predictor of cognitive functioning scores even when accounting for depression, fatigue, and other covariates related to PCS, such as Body Mass Index (BMI).

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that subjective cognitive functioning is influenced by self-reported immune status in PCS, emphasising the importance of immune status, cognitive, and mood screening as part of routine clinical care in PCS.

据报道,COVID-19 后综合征(PCS)患者的认知能力经常发生变化,但人们对导致这些困难的基本机制了解有限。认知障碍可能与免疫状态和/或情绪低落有关。本研究旨在探讨 PCS 患者的免疫状态与认知功能之间的关系,同时考虑抑郁症状是否也会影响这种关系。
