Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and immune persistence of the sequential booster with the recombinant protein-based COVID-19 vaccine (CHO cell) in healthy people aged 18-84 years. Methods: An open-label, multi-center trial was conducted in October 2021. The eligible healthy individuals, aged 18-84 years who had completed primary immunization with the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine 3 to 9 months before, were recruited from Shangyu district of Shaoxing and Kaihua county of Quzhou, Zhejiang province. All participants were divided into three groups based on the differences in prime-boost intervals: Group A (3-4 months), Group B (5-6 months) and Group C (7-9 months), with 320 persons per group. All participants received the recombinant COVID-19 vaccine (CHO cell). Blood samples were collected before the vaccination and after receiving the booster at 14 days, 30 days, and 180 days for analysis of GMTs, antibody positivity rates, and seroconversion rates. All adverse events were collected within one month and serious adverse events were collected within six months. The incidences of adverse reactions were analyzed after the booster. Results: The age of 960 participants was (52.3±11.5) years old, and 47.4% were males (455). The GMTs of Groups B and C were 65.26 (54.51-78.12) and 60.97 (50.61-73.45) at 14 days after the booster, both higher than Group A's 44.79 (36.94-54.30) (P value<0.05). The GMTs of Groups B and C were 23.95 (20.18-28.42) and 27.98 (23.45-33.39) at 30 days after the booster, both higher than Group A's 15.71 (13.24-18.63) (P value <0.05). At 14 days after the booster, the antibody positivity rates in Groups A, B, and C were 91.69% (276/301), 94.38% (302/320), and 93.95% (295/314), respectively. The seroconversion rates in the three groups were 90.37% (272/301), 93.75% (300/320), and 93.31% (293/314), respectively. There was no significant difference among these rates in the three groups (all P values >0.05). At 30 days after the booster, antibody positivity rates in Groups A, B, and C were 79.60% (238/299), 87.74% (279/318), and 90.48% (285/315), respectively. The seroconversion rates in the three groups were 76.92% (230/299), 85.85% (273/318), and 88.25% (278/315), respectively. There was a significant difference among these rates in the three groups (all P values <0.001). During the sequential booster immunization, the incidence of adverse events in 960 participants was 15.31% (147/960), with rates of about 14.38% (46/320), 17.50% (56/320), and 14.06% (45/320) in Groups A, B, and C, respectively. The incidence of adverse reactions was 8.02% (77/960), with rates of about 7.50% (24/320), 6.88% (22/320), and 9.69% (31/320) in Groups A, B, and C, respectively. No serious adverse events related to the booster were reported. Conclusion: Healthy individuals aged 18-84 years, who had completed primary immunization with the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine 3 to 9 months before, have good immunogenicity and safety profiles following the sequential booster with the recombinant COVID-19 vaccine (CHO cell).

Abstract
Objective Our study aimed to determine whether mothers with bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder affected the risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in their offspring. Methods We conducted a nationwide cohort study by using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database and the Maternal and Child Health Database from 2004 to 2018. A total of 2,556,640 mother-child pairs were identified. Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the risk of T1D between children born to mothers with mood disorders and schizophrenia and those without. Results No significant difference in risk of T1D was observed between the offspring of mothers with major psychiatric disorders and those without (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 0.86 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.58-1.24). In subgroup analysis, we found an aHR of 1.81 with a 95% CI of 0.83-3.82 in the maternal bipolar disorder on the risk of T1D in offspring and an aHR of 0.87 (95% CI: 0.59-1.25) in maternal major depressive disorder. In the schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder group, aHR cannot be obtained due to lesser than three events in the analysis. Conclusion The risk of T1D in offspring of mothers with mood disorders and schizophrenia was not significant. However, children born to mothers with bipolar disorder may have a tendency to develop T1D. The relationship between maternal psychiatric disorders and the risk of T1D in offspring warrants further investigation in studies with longer follow-up periods.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of Hashimoto's encephalopathy presenting with isolated cerebellar ataxia in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical features, laboratory tests, neuroelectrophysiological examination, imaging, treatment and outcomes of 13 patients with Hashimoto's encephalopathy presenting with isolated cerebellar ataxia, who were admitted to the Department of Pediatric Neurology of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2016 to May 2021. Results: Among the 13 cases, 6 were males and 7 were females. The onset age was 2.6 (2.0,3.3) years, 9 children had precursor infection or vaccination before the first course of disease. All the 13 children had gait abnormalities or unsteady sitting, 10 had intentional tremor, 6 had dysarthria, 3 had body tremor, 2 had nystagmus, 3 had fatigue, 3 had hypotonia, 2 had vomiting and 1 had irritability. Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) was 500.0 (298.9,587.2) kU/L and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) was 621.9 (449.6,869.4) kU/L in 13 cases. Autoantibodies were positive in 9 cases, and cerebrospinal fluid leukocytosis was seen in 4 cases. Regarding electroencephalography result, 4 cases had background slowing and 1 case had occasional sharp waves. Among the 3 patients who had relapses, 1 had cerebellar atrophy shown on cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the recurrence. All the patients received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and intensive methylprednisolone therapy during the first onset, followed by the disappearance of the symptoms, 1 patient had repeated episodes which was decreased after immunosuppressive treatment with Rituximab.Followed up for 25.0 (22.5,33.3) months after the last episode, 12 achieved complete remission and 1 had a wide base gait. Conclusions: Trunk ataxia is the common symptom of Hashimoto's encephalopathy presenting with isolated cerebellar ataxia in children.Children with cerebellar ataxia should be tested for TgAb and TPOAb to detect Hashimoto's encephalopathy, avoiding missed diagnosis and treatment delays; IVIG and intensive steroid therapy is effective, and immunosuppressive therapy for patients with multiple relapses could reduce the recurrence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The coexistence of depression and DM is associated with an increased risk of DM complications and functional morbidity. The independent effect of depression on mortality in patients with DM is unclear, and relevant Asian studies have provided inconsistent results. Accordingly, this study assessed the independent and additive effects of DM and depression on mortality in a nationally representative cohort of older adults in Taiwan over a 10-year observation period. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 5041 participants aged 50 years or older were observed between 1996 and 2007. We defined depression as a score of ≥8 on the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D 10) scale. Additionally, we defined participants as having type 2 DM if they had received a diagnosis of type 2 DM from a health-care provider. Cox proportional hazard models were applied to analyze predictors of mortality in depression and DM comorbidity groups. RESULTS During the 10-year follow-up period, 1637 deaths were documented. After adjustment for potential confounders, the hazard ratios for mortality in participants with both depression and DM, DM only, and depression only were 2.47 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.02-3.03), 1.95 (95% CI: 1.63-2.32), and 1.23 (95% CI: 1.09-1.39), respectively. CONCLUSION The co-occurrence of depression with DM in Asian adults increased overall mortality rates. Our results indicate that the increased mortality hazard in individuals with DM and depression was independent of sex.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of five specific periodontal pathogens in the saliva of edentulous patients and to compare the differences in the saliva of dentulous individuals with various periodontal conditions. Methods: All the subjects were patients who received regular care at the Beijing Hypertension Prevention and Management Institute. Twenty-seven edentulous patients (edentulous group) were included. According to age (age gap≤5 years), gender, smoking status, diabetes status and hypertension status, each edentulous patient was paired with dentulous individuals suffering from various severity of periodontitis in the same cohort. Then, we selected 3 groups of patients (n=27 in each group) with no or mild periodontitis (mild group), moderate periodontitis (moderate group) and severe periodontitis (severe group). The whole unstimulated saliva was collected before the periodontal examination. Questionnaire survey and periodontal parameters, including plaque index (PLI), probing depth (PD), bleeding index (BI) and clinical attachment loss (CAL), were examined at mesial-buccal and distal-lingual sites of each tooth respectively. DNA was extracted from each sample of the salivary deposition. Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Treponema denticola (Td), Campylobacter rectus (Cr) and Prevotella nigrescens (Pn) were detected by using PCR method based on 16SrRNA. The prevalence and quantity of the pathogens under various severity of periodontitis were compared. Results: One or more periodontal pathogens could be detected from the 78% (21/27) of the salivary samples in edentulous group. Thereinto, the prevalences of the five periodontal pathogens were ranked as (from high to low): Cr [56% (15/27)], Tf [44% (12/27)], Pn [26% (7/27)], Pg [22% (6/27)] and Td [11% (3/27)]. All five pathogens' prevalences and Pg, Tf, Td and Pn's quantities showed statistical differences among the four groups. The numbers of detected bacterial species in the mild, moderate and severe groups were significantly higher than that in the edentulous group (P<0.01). Furthermore, the prevalences of the red complex in three dentulous groups [96% (26/27) in each group] were significantly higher than the edentulous group [48% (13/27)] (P<0.05). The proportions of the red complex among all five pathogens (83%) in moderate and severe groups were significantly higher than that in the edentulous group (37%) (P<0.01). Conclusions: All five periodontal pathogens could be detected in most of the saliva samples from edentulous individuals. Nevertheless, the prevalence and quantity were lower than dentulous individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased traumatic brain injury (TBI) risk was found in patients with bipolar disorder (BPD). Whether the medications for BPD and dosage moderate the risk of TBI is not clear. AIM This study aimed to determine whether an association exists between BPD and TBI and whether the prescription of psychotropics moderates TBI risk. METHODS A total of 5606 individuals who had received diagnoses of BPD between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2013 and 56,060 matched controls without BPD were identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Cases and controls were followed until the date of TBI diagnosis. RESULTS BPD was associated with a high risk of TBI (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 1.85; 95% CI: 1.62-2.11). Patients with BPD, with or without a history of psychiatric hospitalization, had increased risks of TBI (aHR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.57-2.4 and aHR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.55-2.1, respectively). The prescription of typical antipsychotics (0 < defined daily dose (DDD) < 28: hazard ratio (HR) = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.19-1.94; ⩾28 DDD: HR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.15-2.06) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) (0 < DDD < 28: HR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.26-2.39; ⩾28 DDD: HR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.02-2.25) was associated with higher TBI risk. Patients receiving higher doses of benzodiazepines (BZDs) (cumulative dose ⩾28 DDD) had a higher TBI risk (HR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.13-2.06). CONCLUSION Patients with BPD have a higher risk of TBI. The use of typical antipsychotics, TCAs, or high-dose BZDs increases the risk of TBI in BPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Schizophrenia is a chronic, debilitating psychiatric disorder with a high risk of relapse. Nonadherence to medication is a significant contributor to poor outcomes. Although long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics prevent the relapse of schizophrenia, several factors present obstacles to the use of LAI antipsychotics, and clinical guidelines for LAI antipsychotics remain limited. To provide clinical recommendations, the Taiwanese Society of Biological Psychiatry and Neuropsychopharmacology (TSBPN) developed consensus statements for the effectiveness, target populations, initiation timing, and particular clinical situations for the use of LAI antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS After a systematic literature review, a working group drafted consensus statements for the selected clinical topics and determined the levels of evidence-based recommendation based on the latest World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry grading system. A scientific committee evaluated the draft statements and decided the final recommendations regarding the grades by anonymous voting after incorporating clinical experience and practice into the evidence from research. RESULTS The TSBPN proposed ten consensus statements for the application of LAI antipsychotics. The current evidence supported that LAI antipsychotics could be a treatment option for all schizophrenia patients, including first-episode patients. LAI antipsychotics could be initiated both during an acute psychotic episode and when patients are stable. The consensus also gave recommendations for particular clinical situations with insufficient scientific data, such as for use in elderly or adolescent patients, patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and breakthrough psychosis, and strategies to assist patients/caregivers with decision making. CONCLUSIONS The consensus statements developed by the TSBPN provide evidence-based clinical recommendations and could give clinicians more confidence when prescribing LAI antipsychotics to treat schizophrenia, thereby improving treatment outcomes.

Abstract
(1) Background: The potential of old drugs in novel indications is being greatly valued. We propose a triple-model study involving population-based, cell, and animal studies to investigate the effects of risperidone, a type of second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) drug, on colorectal cancer. (2) Methods: We used data from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database between 1997 and 2013 to compare 101,989 patients with colorectal cancer and 101,989 controls. Conditional logistic regression analyses were used to explore the association between SGA exposure and the risk of colorectal cancer. The following bench studies were performed to evaluate the findings of the population-based study. (3) Results: We found that SGAs had been less commonly used in colorectal cancer patients than in controls. The colorectal cancer risk was reduced with an increase in the cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD) of SGAs. The adjusted odds ratio of antipsychotic use for cDDD days was 0.32 (95% CI: 0.25–0.42). Risperidone exhibited the most prominent tumor inhibition effect in a cell screen study. Bench data revealed that risperidone significantly induced apoptosis and elevated intracellular ROS in human SW480 cells and suppressed the proliferation of the xenografted SW480 tumor in nude mice. (4) Conclusion: This triple-model study demonstrates the association between risperidone usage and a lower risk of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate periodontal status of patients with pre-diabetes and evaluate the prevalence of periodontal pathogens in oral cavity. Methods: All the subjects were under regular care in urban area of Beijing, including 88 subjects with normal blood glucose (normal blood glucose group), 27 pre-diabetic patients (pre-diabetic group), 58 well-controlled diabetic patients (glucose well controlled group) and 72 poor-controlled diabetic patients (glucose poor controlled group). Whole unstimulated saliva samples were collected before periodontal examination. Periodontal parameters, including plaque index (PLI), probing depth (PD), bleeding index (BI), bleeding on probing (BOP) and clinical attachment loss (CAL), were examined at mesial-buccal and distal-lingual sites of each tooth. Number of missing teeth was recorded. DNA was extracted from the salivary deposition, Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Treponema denticola (Td), Campylobacter rectus (Cr), and Prevotella nigrescens (Pn) were detected by using PCR method based on 16SrRNA. Periodontal status and prevalence and quantity of the pathogens under various blood glucose states were compared. Results: The PD scores of four groups had no statistical differences. The CAL [(2.29±1.35) mm] and the number of missing teeth[2.0 (7.0)] in pre-diabetic group were significantly lower than that in glucose poor controlled group [(3.07±1.45) mm, P=0.04 and 5.0 (10.0), P=0.04, respectively]. The number of missing teeth in pre-diabetic group [2.0 (7.0)] was significantly lower than that in glucose well controlled group [5.0 (9.0), P=0.02]. The percent of bleeding on probing [BOP(+)%] in pre-diabetic group [(63.89±20.03)%] was significantly higher than that in normal blood glucose group [(54.51±22.29)%, P=0.04] and glucose well controlled group [(53.12±21.77)%, P=0.03]. The prevalence of Pg in pre-diabetic group (81.5%) was significantly higher than that in glucose poor controlled group (54.2%, P=0.02). The prevalence of Tf in pre-diabetic group (96.3%) was significantly higher than that in glucose poor controlled group (76.4%, P=0.01). Meanwhile the quantity of Pg [1.58 (4.75)] and Tf [5.46 (7.77)] in pre-diabetic group were significantly higher than that in glucose poor controlled group [0.60 (1.87), P=0.01 and 1.63 (3.06), P<0.01, respectively]. The quantity of Pn [0.85 (1.68)] in pre-diabetic group was significantly higher than that in normal blood glucose group [0 (1.02), P=0.04]. Conclusions: Pre-diabetic patients showed severe periodontal infection and BOP(+)% than other three groups and had high risk-level of periodontitis.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical effects of periodontal treatment using periodontal endoscope with that of conventional treatment method for patients with periodontitis. Methods: Eleven periodontal patients with moderate to advanced periodontal destruction were recruited and treated with scaling and root planing in a split-mouth design randomly with (test group) or without (control group) periodontal endoscope. Changes of such clinical parameters as plaque index (PLI), bleeding index (BI), probing depth (PD) and attachment loss (AL) before and after treatments as well as the difference between test and control groups were examined and compared. Results: Both groups showed significant reductions in PD, BI and AL values at 6 weeks and 3 months after treatment (P <0.001). Only in the test group, for sites with PD≥6 mm at baseline, PD value ([4.0±1.2] mm) and AL value ([3.8±0.9] mm) at the end of 3 months were significantly lower than that at the end of 6 weeks (PD[4.4±1.3] mm, P<0.001; AL[4.1±1.1] mm, P< 0.05). There were no significant differences between two groups at the baseline, at the end of 6 weeks and 3 months, respectively. However, for the sites with PD≥6 mm in anterior teeth, PD value in test group at the end of 3 months was significantly lower than that in control group ([3.2±0.9] mm vs [3.7±0.9] mm, P <0.05), while AL value tend to be lower ([2.9 ± 1.2] mm vs [3.6 ± 1.3] mm, P=0.061). Conclusions: Periodontal treatment using endoscope is obviously effective, especially for the medium and long term prognosis of deep pockets and single rooted teeth.

Abstract
Preventive effect of stimulants on the risk of brain injuries had been reported. The aim of this study is to determine the extent to which methylphenidate (MPH) prescription moderates the risk of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Individuals with a recent diagnosis of ADHD between January 1997 and December 2013 (n = 163,618) were identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. A total of 124,438 adolescents and children with ADHD and without prior TBI diagnoses were included and evaluated for subsequent TBI. Methylphenidate prescription duration was subgrouped by the annual average cumulative defined daily dose (DDD): 0, >0 to ≤28, > 28 to ≤84, and >84. We identified 11,463 diagnoses of TBI among 124,438 adolescents and children with ADHD. A Cox regression model was used to investigate whether MPH prescription influenced the risk for TBI after adjusting for sex, age, level of urbanization, seizure, autism and sedative-anxiolytics use. A reduced TBI incidence was observed with MPH prescription DDDs > 84. The protective effect of MPH against TBI persisted after adjusting for confounding factors [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.49; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.47-0.51]. There was also statistically significant difference in risk for TBI in subjects receiving > 0 to ≤28 or >28 to ≤84 DDDs of MPH treatment (HR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.83-0.92; HR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.72-0.80, respectively) when compared with subjects not receiving treatment with MPH. Treatment with MPH for greater than 84 DDDs reduced the risk for TBI among children with ADHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) youths have increased suicide risk. Nevertheless, the beneficial effects of methylphenidate (MPH) on suicide attempt have received relatively little attention. AIMS To investigate the MPH usage and the risk of suicide attempt among ADHD youths. METHODS We identified 84,898 youths less than 18 years old with ADHD diagnosis between 1997 and 2013 from National Health Insurance, and examined whether MPH use affected suicide attempt risk using Cox proportional-hazards models. OUTCOME AND RESULTS Among ADHD youths, reduction of suicide risk was found in patients prescribed 90-180days of MPH after adjusting for confounding factors (hazard ratio (HR): 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.19-0.90) and a greater reduction in those prescribed more than 180days of MPH (HR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.17-0.48). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS We observed a 59% suicide attempt risk reduction among ADHD youths prescribed between 90 and 180days and a 72% risk reduction in those prescribed more than 180days of MPH. The protective benefit observed by the group prescribed MPH for longer duration underscores the importance of psychoeducation and compliance enhancement as part of ADHD management. Indication bias is identified as a limitation of this study, and future self-case control study to investigate the association between suicide attempt and ADHD medication is suggested. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS This nationwide population-based cohort study showed that among ADHD youths, reduction of suicide risk was observed in patients prescribed MPH for duration 90days and longer, underscoring the importance of appropriate ADHD pharmacotherapy and enhancing drug compliance.

Abstract
Obesity is a major public health problem. Herein, we aim to identify the correlation between brain circuit segregation and obesity using multimodal functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques and analysis. Twenty obese patients (BMI=37.66±5.07) and 30 healthy controls (BMI=22.64±3.45) were compared using neuroimaging and assessed for symptoms of anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). All participants underwent resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) and T1-weighted imaging using a 1.5T MRI. Multimodal MRI techniques and analyses were used to assess obese patients, including the functional connectivity (FC), amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), graph theoretical analysis (GTA), and voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Correlations between brain circuit segregation and obesity were also calculated. In the VBM, obese patients showed altered gray matter volumes in the amygdala, thalamus and putamen. In the FC, the obesity group showed increased functional connectivity in the bilateral anterior cingulate cortex and decreased functional connectivity in the frontal gyrus of default mode network. The obesity group also exhibited altered ALFF and ReHo in the prefrontal cortex and precuneus. In the GTA, the obese patients showed a significant decrease in local segregation and a significant increase in global integration, suggesting a shift toward randomization in their functional networks. Our results may provide additional evidence for potential structural and functional imaging markers for clinical diagnosis and future research, and they may improve our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of obesity.

Abstract
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with higher risk for fracture. Whether the medical treatment for ADHD would mitigate the risk remains unclear. In this study, we sought to investigate the effect of methylphenidate treatment on risk for fracture, as well the moderational role of treatment duration on the risk of fracture, in a large national sample. Cases less than 18 years old were identified from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database with a new primary diagnosis of ADHD (ICD-9:314) between 1996 and 2013. A total of 6201 cases with ADHD were included as the study cohort. The cases were divided into 3 groups according to the duration of methylphenidate treatment (0, 1–180, and more than 180 days). All groups were followed until the end of 2013 for first diagnoses of fracture (ICD-9 codes 800 to 829). Cox proportional hazards models were applied. Compared to the group without methylphenidate treatment, the risk for fracture was lower among the group treated for more than 180 days. The adjusted hazard ratio was 0.77 (95% Confidence interval: 0.63–0.94). The groups treated for 180 days or fewer had no significant difference in the risk for fracture. In conclusion, methylphenidate treatment was associated with lower risk for fracture among ADHD patients. The association was evident only in the cohort treated for more than 180 days.

Abstract
Enterovirus (EV) infection is common among children and adolescents. Few studies have investigated the relationship of depression after EV infection. This study explores an association between EV infection and subsequent depression in children and adolescents and assesses the risk of depression after EV infection with central nervous system involvement in a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort.A random sample of 1,000,000 people was derived from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database and we identified enrollees less than 18 years with EV infection before 2005 and followed up until December 2009. A total 48,010 cases with EV infection and 48,010 healthy controls matched for sex, age, and residence were obtained. Association between EV infection and depression risk was assessed by Cox proportional hazards models to determine the hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (CIs). We further stratified EV infection into with central nervous system (CNS) involvement and without and compared with matched cohort.Children and adolescents with EV infection had no elevated risk of depression compared with healthy controls (adjusted HR, aHR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.83-1.21). However, CNS EV infection was associated with increased risk of depression (aHR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.02-2.58) in the fully adjusted Cox regression model.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study investigating depression in children and adolescents with CNS EV infection. The results suggested that children and adolescents with CNS EV infection were a susceptible group for subsequent depressive disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental evidence indicates that serotonin is associated with both proliferative and pro-carcinogenic effects on colorectal tumors. The present study aims to investigate the associations between antidepressant use and colorectal cancer in an epidemiological sample. METHODS We conducted a population-based case-control study utilizing Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). We identified 49,342 cases with colorectal cancer and 240,985 controls between 1997 and 2008. We conducted conditional logistic regression analyses to assess the association between antidepressant use and colorectal cancer risk. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess whether genotoxic antidepressants (i.e. antidepressants which may exert procarcinogenic effects) would increase risk for colorectal cancer. RESULTS Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (adjusted OR=1.00, 95% CI=0.94-1.06), tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitors were not associated with increased incidence of colorectal cancer. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors were, however, associated with an increased incidence of colorectal cancer (adjusted OR=1.22, 95% CI=1.06-1.41). Higher cumulative dose of mirtazapine was associated with a decreased incidence of colorectal cancer (adjusted OR=0.39, 95% CI=0.17-0.90). A small sample size of individuals who received mirtazapine, however, precludes definitive conclusions regarding protective effects with mirtazapine. LIMITATIONS We could not discern the effects of obesity and other risk factors for colorectal cancer from the NHIRD. CONCLUSIONS Contemporary first-line antidepressants (i.e. SSRI, SNRI), as well as older agents (i.e. TCA), are not associated with increased incidence of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms are highly prevalent among heroin-dependent patients. We aim to investigate differences in dependence severity, depression, and quality of life between heroin-dependent patients with and without ADHD-screened positive. METHODS Heroin-dependent participants (n = 447) entering methadone maintenance treatment were divided into ADHD-screened positive (ADHD-P) and ADHD-screened negative (ADHD-N) groups according to scores of Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS). Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview was used to identify current and lifetime depressive episodes and suicidality. Substance use disorder, depression, family support, and quality of life in two groups were also assessed. RESULTS About 7.8% (n = 35) scored 24 or higher of ASRS indicating highly likely Adult ADHD. More heroin-dependent patients of ADHD-P had a current depressive episode (p = .02). They had higher Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CESD) scores (p = .003), and more severe heroin dependence (p = .006). Poorer family support and quality of life in physical, and psychological domains were found in patients of ADHD-P compared to ADHD-N. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Heroin-dependent patients of ADHD-P represent a vulnerable minority. They were comorbid with regard to depression, greater substance dependence severity, and poorer quality of life. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE Assessment for ADHD symptoms in heroin-dependent patients may be indicated for the effective management of the complex problems of these patients. (Am J Addict 2017;26:26-33).

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is hypothesized that the phenomenology of major depressive disorder (MDD) is subserved by disturbances in the structure and function of brain circuits; however, findings of structural abnormalities using MRI have been inconsistent. Generalized q-sampling imaging (GQI) methodology provides an opportunity to assess the functional integrity of white matter tracts in implicated circuits. METHODS The study population was comprised of 16 outpatients with MDD (mean age 44.81±2.2 years) and 30 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (mean age 45.03±1.88 years). We excluded participants with any other primary mental disorder, substance use disorder, or any neurological illnesses. We used T1-weighted 3D MRI with voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and vertex-wise shape analysis, and GQI with voxel-based statistical analysis (VBA), graph theoretical analysis (GTA) and network-based statistical (NBS) analysis to evaluate brain structure and connectivity abnormalities in MDD compared to healthy controls correlates with clinical measures of depressive symptom severity, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17-item (HAMD) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). RESULTS Using VBM and vertex-wise shape analyses, we found significant volumetric decreases in the hippocampus and amygdala among subjects with MDD (p<0.001). Using GQI, we found decreases in diffusion anisotropy in the superior longitudinal fasciculus and increases in diffusion probability distribution in the frontal lobe among subjects with MDD (p<0.01). In GTA and NBS analyses, we found several disruptions in connectivity among subjects with MDD, particularly in the frontal lobes (p<0.05). In addition, structural alterations were correlated with depressive symptom severity (p<0.01). LIMITATIONS Small sample size; the cross-sectional design did not allow us to observe treatment effects in the MDD participants. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide further evidence indicating that MDD may be conceptualized as a brain disorder with abnormal circuit structure and connectivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Few studies have investigated the relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and anxiety disorder outcomes. We sought to investigate the association in a large national sample. METHODS Cases were identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database who were aged 15 years and above, with a new primary diagnosis of COPD (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes: 491, 492, 494 and 496) between 2000 and 2007. The 29,951 cases identified were compared to 29,951 controls matched on sex, age, urban/rural residence and socioeconomic status based on insurance premium. Both groups were followed until the end of 2008 for instances of anxiety disorders. Competing risk-adjusted Cox regression analyses were applied, adjusting for matching variables, Charlson comorbidity index, hospital admission days and daily dose of prednisone. RESULTS Of the 59,902 subjects, 3951 were found to have anxiety disorders during a mean (SD) follow-up period of 5.5 (2.5) years. COPD, female, urban residence, lower dose of prednisone use, depressive disorders and higher outpatient visits were independent predictors of incident anxiety disorder. CONCLUSIONS COPD was associated with increased risk of an anxiety disorder diagnosis, independent of a number of potential confounding factors.

Abstract
BAKCGROUND Few studies have investigated the relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bipolar outcomes in the world. We sought to investigate the association between COPD and risk of bipolar disorder in a large national sample. METHODS The insured aged 15 years or more with a new primary diagnosis of COPD (ICD-9: 491, 492, 494 and 496) between 2000 and 2007 were identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. We included individuals with an inpatient diagnosis of COPD and/or at least 1 year of two diagnoses of COPD in outpatient services. These 35,558 cases were compared to 35,558 sex-, age-, residence- and insurance premium-matched controls. We followed both groups until the end of 2008 for incidence of bipolar disorder, defined as ICD-9 codes 296.0-296.16, 296.4-296.81 and 296.89. Competing risk-adjusted Cox regression analyses were applied with adjusting for sex, age, residence, insurance premium, prednisone use, Charlson comorbidity index, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, hospital admission days, outpatients' visits and mortality. RESULTS Of the total 71,116 subjects, 202 were newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder during the study period. The mean follow-up time was 6.0 (SD=2.2) years. COPD, younger age, lower economic status, lower dose of prednisone use, higher hospital admission days and higher outpatient visits were independent predictors of bipolar disorder. CONCLUSIONS COPD was associated with increased risk of bipolar disorder independent of a number of potential confounding factors in this study.

Abstract
The fundamental growth thermograms of bacteria have been determined by using the microcalorimetric method. These perfect thermogram curves reflect the changes of bacterial growth patterns (including the lag phase of growth, log growth, stationary phase and the decline phase of growth). In our experiments, highly characteristic and reproducible growth patterns are observed under the same condition, therefore one can use these thermograms as "finger print" to discriminate bacteria. On the other hand, there thermogram curves contain ample information, which are very significant for the studies on microorganism metabolism, bio-thermokinetic and clinical fields.
