Background
In recent years, the incidence rate of stressful events such as public health emergencies, various major accidents, natural and artificial disasters gradually increases, more than 70% of people worldwide experience at least one traumatic event in a lifetime, and psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression often appear after the stressful event for rescuers such as event experience persons and medical staff involved in rescue, and some individuals even develop serious mental diseases. Among them, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the more serious mental diseases. Post-traumatic stress disorder refers to a mental disorder that is delayed in the appearance and persistence of an individual after the individual experiences, witnesses, or encounters one or more physical deaths involving themselves or others, or is threatened by death, or is severely injured, or is threatened by physical integrity. Clinically manifested as invasion of wound memory, avoidance of wound-related stimuli, negative changes in cognition, increased arousal and behavioral hyperactivity. According to the cultural background and the economic development level of different national regions, the lifetime prevalence rate of PTSD is about 1.3% -12.2%, and the annual prevalence rate is about 0.2% -3.8%. In today's society, post-stress mental illness, including PTSD, has become a disease of great concern, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The disease has a long course and is easy to relapse, the patient often has behaviors of self-disability, suicide, drug abuse and the like, the life quality of the patient is seriously influenced, and the serious psychological, physiological and economic burden is caused to the individual, the family and the society.
PTSD is the most serious and most interesting disease in the post-stress psychiatric category, and the clinical diagnostic criteria of which are currently widely accepted are DSM-5 of the American society for mental medicine and ICD-11 of the world health organization. In DSM-5, the diagnostic criteria for PTSD have 8 large entries, divided into 4 symptom clusters and a subtype, where the 4 large symptom clusters are invasive in wound memory, avoidance of wound-related stimuli, negative changes in cognition and mood, increased arousal and behavioral hyperactivity. Whereas in ICD-11, the diagnosis of PTSD is simplified to 3 symptom groups for 6 categories of symptoms, including constant reexperiencing to traumatic events, avoidance of traumatic stimuli, and a high degree of vigilance. Although the diagnostic criteria for PTSD are slightly different, the treatment modalities include mainly psychological interventions, drug therapies and some other innovative therapies. Psychological intervention is recommended as the first-line treatment in most guidelines, and mainly includes prolonged exposure therapy, cognitive processing therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, ocular desensitization, and reprocessing therapy. While drug therapy is generally used as a second line therapy, including selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidases, sympatholytic agents, anticonvulsants, benzodiazepines, and the like.
Although the incidence of PTSD is high in people who experience one or more severe wounds, not all individuals who experience a wound become PTSD patients, and the actual lifetime prevalence of PTSD is far below the theoretical presumptive value, suggesting that there is significant individual variability in the incidence of PTSD. PTSD incidence rate research based on different ethnic groups discovers that the incidence rate of white race is obviously lower than that of other races, and the twin-based research also discovers that the incidence rate of homozygotic twins is obviously higher than that of heterozygotic twins after suffering from traumatic events, and suggests that genetic factors obviously influence the incidence rate of PTSD. At present, PTSD is mainly diagnosed based on the medical history of a patient, mental state judgment, symptom duration, clinical mental scale detection and self-description of the patient, and the detection of objective and effective biomarkers of PTSD is lacked. Predicting risk factors for the occurrence of PTSD after a trauma event becomes particularly important given that the occurrence of most traumatic events is unavoidable. However, PTSD is less subject to screening and research on objective, effective and specific biological markers, and currently, there is still no objective index for PTSD early warning diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy evaluation. The detection of biomarkers in blood is considered to be the most potential and convenient way to facilitate PTSD diagnosis due to its advantages of convenience, minimal invasiveness, and the like. Studies have reported that a decrease in cortisol levels in blood following trauma may be associated with the development of PTSD, and imbalance in partial neurotransmitters in blood, levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), Glucocorticoid (GC), epinephrine, and catecholamine, and the like are also considered as markers associated with PTSD. In addition, other biomarkers that may be associated with PTSD include cholecystokinin (CCK), Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS), neuropeptide y (npy), and p11 protein, among others. However, the specificity and sensitivity of these markers have not been well validated. Meanwhile, specific markers of mental diseases after stress other than PTSD are more rarely reported, and therefore, it is urgently required to discover and develop and utilize specific biomarkers for mental symptoms such as anxiety and depression after stress.
Therefore, in order to effectively predict the occurrence of psychophysiological symptoms such as anxiety and depression after stress, it is necessary to identify completely novel biomarkers and develop a detection kit capable of specifically detecting the biomarkers.

Detailed Description
In order to clearly understand the technical contents of the present invention, the following examples are given in detail.
Protein biomarkers
Biomarkers for predicting the occurrence of psychophysiological symptoms such as anxiety and depression after stress are Butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE), Catalase (Catalase, CAT), Dopamine-Beta-Hydroxylase (DBH), Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 2 (IGFBP 2), Neuropilin 1(Neuropilin1, NRP 1).
BCHE is an esterase with broad substrate specificity that contributes to the inactivation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. BCHE degrades neurotoxic organophosphates. As shown in figure 1, the present invention identifies that levels of BCHE protein in whole blood, plasma, serum of patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma are significantly reduced (p <0.05) compared to levels in patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma.
CAT is present in almost all organisms that breathe aerobically and serves to protect cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide. CAT promotes cell growth, including T cells, B cells, myeloid leukemia cells, melanoma cells, mast cell tumor cells, and normal and transformed fibroblasts. As shown in figure 2, the present invention identifies that CAT protein levels in whole blood, plasma, serum of patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma are significantly reduced (p <0.05) compared to levels in patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma.
DBH protein is expressed in neurosecretory vesicles and chromaffin granules of the adrenal medulla, catalyzing the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine, which is both a hormone and the major neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system. DBH exists in soluble and membrane bound forms, depending on the absence or presence of the signal peptide, respectively. This gene mutation results in dopamine- β -hydroxy acid deficiency in human patients characterized by defects in autonomic and cardiovascular function, including hypotension and ptosis. The present invention identifies that the levels of DBH protein in whole blood, plasma, serum of patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma are significantly reduced (p <0.05) compared to the levels in patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma.
IGFBP2 inhibits IGF-mediated growth and development rates. IGFBP2 extends the half-life of IGFs and has been shown to inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of IGFs on cell culture. IGFBP2 alters IGF interaction with its cell surface receptors. The present invention identifies that IGFBP2 protein levels in whole blood, plasma, serum of patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma are significantly reduced (p <0.05) compared to levels in patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma.
NRP1 is a cell surface receptor involved in the development of the cardiovascular system, angiogenesis, formation of neural circuits, and organogenesis outside the nervous system. NRP1 mediates the chemorepulsive activity of semaphorin. NRP1 recognizes the motif R/KXXR/K on its ligand as a rule of C-terminus, leading to cellular internalization and vascular leakage. It binds to semaphorin 3A, the PLGF-2 subtype of PGF, the VEGF165 subtypes VEGFA and VEGFB. The co-expression of NRP1 with KDR results in increased binding of VEGF165 to KDR and increased chemotaxis. NRP1 modulates VEGF-induced angiogenesis. NRP1 in combination with VEGFA initiated the signaling pathway required for motor neuron axon guidance and cell body migration, including facial motor neuron migration (by similarity) from diamond 4 to the caudal side of diamond 6 during embryonic development. NRP1 regulates mitochondrial iron transport by interacting with ABCB 8/mitosus. NRP1 binds VEGF-165 and may inhibit its binding to cells. NRP1 can induce apoptosis by sequestering VEGF-165. NRP1 may also bind to various members of the semaphorin family. NRP1 expression has a negative impact on blood vessel number and integrity. NRP1 acts as a host factor for infection by human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. NRP1 recognizes and binds with C-terminal rules to the motif RRAR on SARS-CoV-2 spinous process protein S1 to enhance infection with SARS-CoV-2. The present invention identifies that NRP1 protein levels in whole blood, plasma, serum of patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma are significantly reduced (p <0.05) compared to levels in patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety depression after trauma.
