Anxious Depression in Major Depressive Disorder: Key Influences and Prevalence in Chinese Hospitalized Patients.

Background: Anxious depression (AUD) is a common subtype of major depressive disorder (MDD) and has a significant negative impact on disease progression and patient prognosis. Our study aimed to determine the frequency of AUD in Chinese patients with MDD during their first hospitalization and to identify factors that may influence the emergence and intensity of these AUD.

Methods: This study enrolled 981 Chinese MDD patients on their inaugural hospital admission.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIV treatment gap lengths and viremia among people living with HIV British Columbia, Canada, during the COVID-19 pandemic: Are we ready for the next pandemic?

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the care of people living with HIV (PLWH). This study aims to characterize the impact of the pandemic on the length of HIV treatment gap lengths and viral loads among people living with HIV (PLWH) in British Columbia (BC), Canada, with a focus on Downtown Eastside (DTES), which is one of the most impoverished neighbourhoods in Canada. We analyzed data from the HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program from January 2019 to February 2022.

Structural family factors and bullying at school: a large scale investigation based on a Chinese adolescent sample.

Backgrounds: Various family factors have been identified in association with school bullying and the involvement of children and adolescents in bullying behaviors.

Methods: A total of 11,919 participants (female = 6671, mean age = 15) from 22 middle schools in Suzhou City, China completed the questionnaire. The associations between structural family factors (family socio-economic status, living arrangement, number of siblings, whether they were local residents/migrants, had an urban/rural hukou [a household registration system in China], parental and maternal education levels, and other various bullying-related constructs (i.

Mental Health Status of Cisgender and Gender-Diverse Secondary School Students in China.

Importance: Transgender or gender nonconforming (TGNC) adolescents face a wide range of physical and mental health concerns. However, there has been no school-based study to explore the prevalence and mental health status of these adolescents in mainland China.

Objectives: To assess the mental well-being of TGNC adolescents in China by comparing them with their cisgender peers.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization and infection in an intensive care unit of a university hospital in China.

Objective This study was performed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with nasal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization upon intensive care unit (ICU) admission and during the ICU stay in mainland China. Methods A prospective observational study was performed in a 50-bed general ICU of a 4300-bed teaching hospital in China from 2011 to 2013. Nasal swabs for MRSA detection were obtained upon ICU admission and at discharge for patients having stayed in the ICU for longer than 3 days.

miR-125a induces apoptosis, metabolism disorder and migrationimpairment in pancreatic cancer cells by targeting Mfn2-related mitochondrial fission.

Mitochondrial fission is important for the development and progression of pancreatic cancer (PC). However, little is known regarding its role in pancreatic cancer apoptosis, metabolism and migration. In the current study, the mechanism by which mitochondrial fission modifies the biological characteristics of PC was explored.

Infection prevention and control in outpatient settings in China-structure, resources, and basic practices.

Background: More than 7 billion visits are made by patients to ambulatory services every year in mainland China. Healthcare-associated infections are becoming a new source of illness for outpatients. Little is known about infection prevention, control structure, resources available, and basic practices in outpatient settings.

Molecular epidemiological analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from a medical intensive care unit: a comparison of nasal and clinical isolates.

Background: The control of nosocomial transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) represents a significant challenge to infection control professionals. Nasal carriage colonization by MRSA plays a crucial role in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of this infection.

Methods: Patients in the medical intensive care unit (ICU) between November 2010 and March 2011 were swabbed when hospitalized, reswabbed 1 week later and for a third time, when they were discharged from the ICU.
