童年期情感创伤与皮质醇活动的关系及性别的调节作用
The Relationship between Childhood Emotional Trauma and Cortisol Activity and the Moderating Role of Sex
摘要: 童年期创伤是全世界广泛关注的公共健康问题，研究者认为，童年期创伤影响健康的机制与HPA轴分泌皮质醇的活动异常有关。不同创伤类型对皮质醇活动的影响可能不同，童年期情感创伤作为童年期创伤的重要一种，其与皮质醇活动的关系并不清楚。此外，皮质醇活动可以在长短两个时间尺度上衡量，且在短时间尺度上，皮质醇活动可以分为反应和复原两个阶段，皮质醇复原与健康有着密切关系，然后过去却未受到重视。最后，性别可能在童年期情感创伤和皮质醇活动中的调节作用。综上，我们开展了两个研究分别从长短两个尺度研究童年期情感创伤与皮质醇活动的关系，以及性别的调节作用。结果发现，男女在日常皮质醇分泌和急性应激反应中皮质醇分泌有不同模式，这背后的机制还需要进一步探讨。
Abstract: Childhood trauma is a public health problem that has attracted widespread attention around the world. Researchers believe that the mechanism of childhood trauma affecting health is related to the abnormal activity of cortisol secretion in the HPA axis. As an important type of childhood trauma, the relationship between childhood emotional trauma and cortisol activity is not clear. In addition, cortisol activity can be measured on both short and long time scales, and on short time scales, cortisol activity can be divided into response and recovery phases, and cortisol recovery has been closely associated with health, and then has been neglected in the past. Finally, gender may play a role in the regulation of emotional trauma and cortisol activity in childhood. In summary, we conducted two studies to investigate the relationship between emotional trauma and cortisol activity in childhood from two scales of length and length, and the moderating role of gender. The results showed that men and women have different patterns of cortisol secretion in daily cortisol secretion and acute stress response, and the mechanism behind this needs to be further explored.
