This study investigated the prevalence and predictors of suicidal ideation in pregnant women during the third trimester. The results showed a high prevalence of suicidal ideation among pregnant women, which was associated with insecure attachment, prenatal depression, and anxiety. Marital satisfaction was found to be a protective factor. In addition to emotional state, psychological factors such as attachment anxiety should be considered in preventing and intervening suicidal ideation.
Background Pregnancy is a period for women undergo major physical and psychological changes. Suicide is a cause of maternal death and suicidal ideation is a key factor in suicidal behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of suicidal ideation in the third trimester and associated predictors including psychological factors such as attachment. Methods A cross-sectional study included 432 pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy was conducted in a tertiary hospital. The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to assess prenatal depression and suicidal ideation. The Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Experience of Close Relationship (ECR) scale were used to assess anxiety and attachment respectively. Results The results showed that the EPDS scale screened 6.71% of pregnant women with suicidal ideation. Compared with those without suicidal ideation, pregnant women with suicidal ideation had a higher prevalence of insecure attachment, higher scores on the two dimensions of attachment (attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety), and higher prevalence of prenatal depression and anxiety. Binary logistic regression showed that marital satisfaction was a protective factor for suicidal ideation, while prenatal depression, prenatal anxiety and attachment anxiety were risk factors for suicidal ideation. Conclusions The suicidal ideation among pregnant women was high, which should be given more attention. In the process of preventing and intervening suicidal ideation, in addition to the emotional state of pregnant women, their psychological factors such as attachment anxiety should also be considered.

Association of thyroid-stimulating hormone and lipid levels with suicide attempts among adolescents with major depressive disorder in China

Qing Zhang, Shuyi Zhao, Zhichun Liu, Bei Luo, Yingying Yang, Yudong Shi, Feng Geng, Lei Xia, Kai Zhang, Huanzhong Liu

Summary: Research suggests that TSH and lipid levels are associated with suicide attempts in adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD). Understanding this relationship can help us better identify suicide risks in adolescents with MDD. The study found that higher CES-D scores, TSH levels, and LDL-C levels were significantly associated with suicide attempts. Ordinary family relationships were also found to increase the likelihood of suicide attempts.

Secure Computation Offloading for Marine IoT: An Energy-Efficient Design via Cooperative Jamming

Mingqing Li, Li Ping Qian, Xinyu Dong, Bin Lin, Yuan Wu, Xiaoniu Yang

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the secure computation offloading in the Marine Internet of Things (M-IoT) with the assistance of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) subject to the eavesdropping attack. We optimize the USVs' positions, the duration of data uploading, the workload offloaded by the high altitude platform (HAP), the HAP's transmission power, and the USVs' jamming signal power to minimize the system-wise energy consumption for completing the total workloads under the latency constraint. Our proposed algorithms, PAS-Algorithm and CASE-Algorithm, effectively optimize the variables and provide suboptimal solutions to the joint optimization problem, validating their accuracy and performance compared with benchmark algorithms.

Amnion-derived serum amyloid A1 participates in sterile inflammation of fetal membranes at parturition

Yi-kai Lin, Fan Zhang, Wen-jia Lei, Xiao-wen Gan, Meng-die Li, Fan Pan, Wang-sheng Wang, Kang Sun

Summary: SAA1 serves as a trigger of sterile inflammation in the fetal membranes during parturition. It can induce chemotaxis pathways and upregulate a series of chemokines in human amnion fibroblasts, as well as attract various types of mononuclear leukocytes, particularly monocytes and dendritic cells. SAA1 can also induce the expression of genes associated with inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling in monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.

Decidual Stromal Cell Ferroptosis Associated with Abnormal Iron Metabolism Is Implicated in the Pathogenesis of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Fengrun Sun, Liyuan Cui, Jinfeng Qian, Mengdie Li, Lanting Chen, Chunqin Chen, Dajin Li, Songcun Wang, Meirong Du

Summary: Iron is crucial for biological processes, but excessive iron can be toxic. In patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), low serum iron and iron deposition in the decidua were simultaneously observed. Mice fed with a low-iron diet also showed iron deposition in the decidua and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Decreased expression of ferroportin, an iron exporter, in decidual stromal cells (DSCs) may explain the local iron deposition. Iron supplementation reduced iron deposition and improved pregnancy outcomes. Excessive iron led to ferroptosis of DSCs, but supplementation of glutathione (GSH) and cystine reduced cell death. Ferroptosis inhibitors also attenuated DSC ferroptosis and reversed embryo loss, indicating a potential therapeutic target for RPL patients.

Gender differences in the associations between body mass index, depression, anxiety, and stress among endocrinologists in China

Fei Xie, Licong Jiang, Yuanli Liu, Mingxiao Wang, Huanzhong Liu, Feng Jiang, Yinuo Wu, Yi-Lang Tang

Summary: One-fourth of endocrinologists in China are overweight, with a rate in males nearly triple the one in females. Depression and anxiety are significantly associated with overweight in males but not females. This suggests possible differences in the mechanism. Our findings also highlight the need to screen depression and overweight in male physicians and the importance of developing gender-specific interventions.

Jia-Wei Shi, Deng-Xuan Fan, Ming-Qing Li

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cadmium exposure and mortality among postmenopausal females. The results showed that higher concentrations of cadmium in blood and urine were significantly associated with an increase in all-cause mortality for postmenopausal females. There was a linear positive correlation between urine cadmium concentrations and cancer mortality, while there was no correlation between blood cadmium and cancer death. Reducing cadmium exposure can promote the health and lifespan of postmenopausal women.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics study may differentiate pre-eclampsia from gestational hypertension

Xue-Fei Liu, Meng-Die Li, Jing-Jing Lu, Ying Li, An-Rong Zeng, Jin-Wei Qiang

Summary: This study investigates the use of MRI, MRS, and serum metabolomics to differentiate between pre-eclampsia (PE) and gestational hypertension (GH). Increased T1 signal intensity index (T1SI), lactate/creatine (Lac/Cr), and glutamine and glutamate (Glx)/Cr, as well as decreased apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and myo-inositol (mI)/Cr, were found in PE patients. Combination of Lac/Cr, Glx/Cr, and mI/Cr showed the highest differentiating performance. Serum metabolomics analysis identified 12 differential metabolites associated with various metabolic pathways. MRS is expected to be a noninvasive and effective tool for monitoring GH patients to avoid the development of PE.
