Abstract
INTRODUCTION Suicide is a major public health issue given its huge human and economic consequences. Symptoms prior to suicide are often not specific. Nevertheless, the majority of suicidal people express suicidal thoughts, and nearly one in two meet a health professional in the period preceding the act. Being able to recognize the warnings and intervene during the suicidal crisis, defined as a mental crisis where the major risk is suicide, is to seize the opportunity to postpone the suicidal plan and to gain time to implement in place lasting strategies to combat suffering. Thus, the training for suicidal crisis intervention is a major axis of the suicide prevention strategy. Recently, crisis intervention training programs have been updated with knowledge accumulated since the early 2000's. In France, one of the countries most concerned by suicide, the Hauts-de-France region is one of the most impacted. In this context, the Regional Health Agency of Hauts-de-France included in its Regional Health Program of 2018-2023 the training of healthcare workers who work with high suicidal risk patients. The suicidal crisis intervention training program (SCIT) has been introduced to hospital staffs in Hauts-de-France. The purpose of this study was to evaluate this program. METHODS Eight training sessions with 15 to 21 participants were carried out from 2019 November to 2021 January in the Hauts-de-France region. Participants were volunteer healthcare professionals in direct contact with suicidal crisis patients. The training included three modules. The first one concerned the suicidal crisis intervention training: definition of the suicidal crisis, typology of the crisis, vulnerability development, crisis evaluation and crisis intervention practice. The second concerned the evaluation with the RED scale (Risk-Emergency-Danger) and the adequate patient orientation to a psychiatric unit. The third was dedicated to the Gatekeeper training with the constitution of a Gatekeeper network to enhance the capacity to detect suicidal risk and to orient the concerned person towards an adequate evaluation or care organization. We evaluated the first two levels of the Kirkpatrick's model: level 1) the participant's satisfaction (rated out of 10), and level 2) the degree of confidence in their professional abilities (rated out of 10) and their skills in responding to a person in a suicidal crisis (using the SIRI-2-VF - French version of the Suicide Intervention Response Inventory-2). The participants were interviewed before (T0), just after (T1) and at one month of training (T2). RESULTS Among the 141 health professionals who followed the training, 139 answered the questionnaire at least one time (13 psychologists, 22 doctors, 97 nurses and 7 head nurses). The participation rates were 99.3 % at T0, 96.4 % at T1 and 46.0 % at T2. Most of the participants were nurses (69.8 %), and 33.1 % of the respondents declared they had already followed a suicidal crisis training. The satisfaction with the training was evaluated at 8.6 (± 1.3) out of 10. There was no significant difference among the professions, neither between those having already received or not a previous training. The self-perceived capacity to manage a suicidal crisis was rate 6.8 (± 1.8) out of 10 at T0. There was a significant increase just after the training (8.1±1.2 vs 6,8±1,8, p<0,001) which persisted at 1 month (8.1±1.1 vs 6.8±1.8, P<0.001). The score at the SIRI-2-VF was 15.0 (± 4.2) out of 30 at T0. There was a significant increase just after the training (17.5±3.5 vs 15.0±4.2, P<0.001), which persisted at 1 month (17.0±4.0 vs 15.0±4.2, P<0.001). DISCUSSION This is the first evaluation of the suicidal crisis intervention training program. This program increased and homogenized the competency of the participants to manage suicidal ideation and behaviors. Those who followed a previous training maintained higher scores than the others, which shows the importance of repeated training to maintain a satisfying level of knowledge over the long term. One of the strengths of this training is the use of roleplay which enhances the learning and abilities to interact with people at suicidal risk. It seems important to integrate a suicidal crisis intervention training in the cursus of health students to avoid suicide and the dramatic consequences for the entourage and the health professionals who are confronted with it. CONCLUSION The SCIT program showed encouraging results in terms of confidence and capacity of the healthcare professionals to intervene in suicidal crisis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown a negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated sanitary measures on mental health, especially among adolescents and young adults. Such a context may raise many concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic long-term psychological effects. An analysis of administrative databases could be an alternative and complementary approach to medical interview-based epidemiological surveys to monitor the mental health of the population. We conducted a nationwide study to describe the consumption of anxiolytics, antidepressants and hypnotics during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to the five previous years. METHODS A historic cohort study was conducted by extracting and analysing data from the French health insurance database between 1 January 2015 and 28 February 2021. Individuals were classified into five age-based classes. Linear regression models were performed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic period on the number of drug consumers, in introducing an interaction term between time and COVID-19 period. RESULTS Since March 2020, in all five age groups and all three drug categories studied, the number of patients reimbursed weekly has increased compared to the period from January 2015 to February 2020. The youngest the patients, the more pronounced the magnitude. CONCLUSIONS Monitoring the consumption of psychiatric medications could be of great interest as reliable indicators are essential for planning public health strategies. A post-crisis policy including reliable monitoring of mental health must be anticipated.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite the feminization of the medical profession, the academic world remains largely male-dominated. Several studies conducted in the English-speaking world have shown that women are published less than men. Our goal is to define the evolution of the role of women in five French medical journals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The articles from five French journals (Revue du Praticien, Bulletin du Cancer, Exercer, Presse Médicale, Cancer/Radiothérapie) published in February between 1983 and 2019 were included. We selected twelve years from that period of time. The analysis was completed using Cochran-Armitage tests with a significance level of<0,05. Among the authors, 4397 were included in total and we were able to determine the gender of 4309 of them. RESULTS The percentage of female authors went from 16% in 1983 to 36.4% in 2019 (p<0.001). This rise is more significant for those specializing in surgery than for those specializing in medicine, with a percentage going from 14% to 38.5% (p<0.001) against 16.8% to 35.4% (p<0.001) respectively. In 2019, women still only represent 30.2% of the last authors, 27.6% of editorial authors and 30.6% of corresponding authors. CONCLUSION Our study underlines a significant increase in the number of female authors and highlights that their position as authors remains on the margins of the most prestigious authorial positions. While we can celebrate this increase, we nevertheless notice that there are fewer female authors than female practitioners.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Suicide is a leading yet underestimated cause of death in the world and in France. The goal of our study was to determine the impact at 3 months of a large-scale simulation program on suicide risk assessment for first-year medical residents. METHODS All the first-year medical residents participated in the simulation program that included a session on suicide risk assessment. The scenario was carried out by a standardized patient (professional actor) who had a normal check-up at the ER after a chest pain. He verbalized suicidal thoughts to an ER nurse due to a recent divorce and social difficulties, who then reported it to the resident. The latter had to assess suicide risk on his own. The QECS "Questionnaire de connaissances relatives au suicide" was used to assess knowledge of suicide before the training session (T0) and 3 months later (T1). A pre/post comparison was performed with a paired t-test. RESULTS 420 residents participated in this study. A total of 273 matching questionnaires was obtained. A statistically significant theoretical knowledge improvement was found at 3 months of the session for all the residents. LIMITATIONS The absence of a control group and data loss were some of the major limitations of our study. Another limitation corresponds to the lack of additional questions, such as levels of interest, former and recent training, level of experience, attitudes, and self-competency in suicide risk assessment before and after the simulation program that could have helped to interpret the obtained results and their variation. Moreover, the exact effects of this increased knowledge on clinical practice has not been measured in our study. CONCLUSION This is an unprecedented, large-scale attempt in France to allow all the medical residents to practice suicide risk assessment. This simulation-based training had a positive impact at 3 months on the knowledge of suicide in medical residents.

Abstract
AIM Brief contact interventions (such as letters, green cards, telephone calls or postcards) for reducing suicide reattempt (SR) and suicide have been evaluated since the 1980s, but results have been inconsistent. VigilanS is one of these programs that has benefited patients hospitalized for suicide attempt (SA) after discharge in 2 departments of northern France since 2015. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate its effectiveness in reducing SR. METHODS Patients exposed to VigilanS in 2016 were recruited from the medical administrative database of the program, and the nonexposed patients from a database of the medico-surgical ward outside the scope of the program. First, a Cox model was used to compare the probability of SR during the 12-month follow-up period between the 2 groups. Second, a propensity score using the variables sex, age, source, SA history and SA method was used to match the VigilanS-exposed and the nonexposed patients. A Cox model propensity score adjusted analysis was reiterated on the matched data. RESULTS The exposed and nonexposed groups included 3,068 and 3,694 individuals, respectively. In the bivariate analyses, the cumulative probability of SR at 12 months was significantly lower in the exposed group (6.0%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.5-6.5%) than in the nonexposed group (16.8%, 95% CI: 15.9-17.7%; p < 0.001). In the Cox model, the hazard ratio of SR was 0.38 in the exposed patients (95% CI: 0.36-0.40, p < 0.001). After matching, the cumulative probability of SR at 12 months was 5.2% in exposed versus 22.2% in nonexposed patients (p < 0.001). In the propensity score-adjusted Cox model, the hazard ratio of SR in the exposed patients was 0.19 (95% CI: 0.14-0.24, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The results suggest the effectiveness of this real-life program for reducing SR. However, VigilanS only benefits a portion of the patients hospitalized for SA and therefore could be extended.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite its effectiveness and good tolerance, electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) is under-used in current clinical practice probably because of stigma and the negative image of this treatment. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an educational video on the representations of ECT among psychiatrists and psychiatric residents in the North and in Occitanie districts of France. METHOD We evaluated the representations of ECT through the Questionnaire on Attitudes and Knowledge of ECT (QuAKE) before (T0) and after (T1) viewing a short educational video. Scores at T0 and T1 were compared with a paired t-test. Factors associated with the improvement of the representations were investigated using a logistic regression model. RESULTS In all, 195 responses were obtained. The QuAKE score at T1 was significantly better than at T0 (29.4 at T1 vs. 31.5 at T0, P<0.001). The more negative the representations were at T0, the higher the probability of a decrease in the score at T1 (OR=1.07 [1.02-1.13], P=0.003). DISCUSSION Our study showed a beneficial effect of a short educational video on psychiatrists' representations of ECT. The wide use of this type of media, allowing information and destigmatization, could considerably optimize access to ECT for patients.

Abstract
Recently we have purified to homogeneity and characterized an interferon-induced human protein (p78 protein) which is the equivalent of the interferon-induced murine Mx protein responsible for a specific antiviral state against influenza virus infection. A cDNA library was constructed using mRNAs from interferon-induced human diploid fibroblasts. cDNA clones coding for the human p78 protein were identified and used to determine the chromosomal location of the corresponding gene (termed IFI-78K gene) by hybridization to DNA from a panel of human x rodent somatic cell hybrids. The newly identified gene is located on chromosome 21. This has been confirmed by the observation of a gene dosage effect using chromosome 21 trisomic cells (fibroblasts derived from Down's syndrome patients). Among all interferon-inducible genes mapped so far, the IFI-78K gene is the only one located on chromosome 21, together with the gene for the receptor of type I interferon. Our results also provide further evidence for homology between human chromosome 21 and mouse chromosome 16, since the gene encoding the mouse Mx protein (the presumed mouse homolog protein of human p78 protein) has been assigned to chromosome 16.

Abstract
In vitro-transcribed human interferon-beta (IFN-beta) mRNA, which contains all the sequence of the natural molecule, is poorly translated in a reticulocyte lysate or when injected in Xenopus oocytes. This low level of translation is due to an inhibition by the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs). Indeed, the replacement of these sequences by those of Xenopus beta-globin mRNA dramatically increases the translational efficiency of the mRNA, especially in oocytes. This phenomenon is not due to a difference in mRNA stability since both native and chimeric mRNAs remain undegraded, at least during the translation period considered. Construction of different chimeric molecules having various combinations of 5' and 3' UTRs from IFN-beta or Xenopus beta-globin mRNA or a small sequence of SP6 polylinker as 5' UTR has revealed that the 3' UTR of IFN-beta in itself has a pronounced inhibitory effect on translation in the two translation systems from animal cells. Indeed, the addition of this 3' UTR at the 3' end of the coding region of a chicken lysozyme mRNA also causes a large decrease of its translational capacity in both systems. However, the nature of the 5' noncoding sequence influences the degree of translation inhibition exerted by the 3' UTR. Remarkably, we observed no difference in translation level when the different mRNAs were tested in a wheat germ extract.

Abstract
Among the various proteins which are induced when human cells are treated with interferon, a predominant protein of unknown function, with molecular mass 56 kDa, has been observed. With the aim of exploring the molecular basis of the regulation of this protein and of its mRNA, in order to understand its biological function and its possible contribution to the various antiviral and non-antiviral actions exerted by interferons, we cloned a full-length cDNA copy of the 1.8-1.9 X 10(3)-base 56-kDa-protein mRNA and determined its sequence. The cDNA contains 1662 nucleotides derived from the 56-kDa-protein mRNA, including a poly(A) tail of 20 residues. Primer extension experiments indicate that the 5' end of this cDNA clone is probably located only 13 nucleotides downstream of the actual cap site of the 56-kDa-protein mRNA. It consists of a 64-nucleotide-long 5'-non-coding segment, a coding segment of 1434 nucleotides terminated by a TAG triplet and a 141-nucleotide 3'-non-coding segment. The encoded protein of 478 amino acid residues has a molecular mass of 55335 Da and a single potential site for N-glycosylation. The protein contains an excess of basic amino acids and most of them are localized in the carboxy-terminal half of the molecule. A single [35S]methionine-labeled 56-kDa protein was obtained using an SP64 construction to allow the cell-free transcription and translation of the cloned cDNA. Microinjection of this labeled protein in Xenopus oocytes indicates that the 56-kDa protein is cytoplasmic.

Abstract
Interferon-induced 2-5A synthetases are probably involved in some antiviral actions of interferon. In human cells two different mRNAs (1.6, 1.8 kb long) coding for this protein are transcribed from the same gene and are produced by differential splicing. The relationship between the two mRNAs of different size and the active enzyme is not clear, nor is the cellular localization of the latter known. We have cloned a cDNA corresponding to the 1.6 kb RNA. This cDNA was sequenced and its complete coding region was subcloned into pSP64. The resulting plasmid was used to direct the synthesis of micrograms of capped RNA transcript after linearization in the 3'-non-coding region. A 39 kDa protein was synthesized when this RNA was translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. When this capped RNA was introduced by microinjection into Xenopus oocytes, production of 2-5A synthetase was clearly observed in the cytoplasm and 10-30% of the enzyme accumulated with time in the nucleoplasm. Analysis of cytoplasmic homogenates of these oocytes on a glycerol gradient revealed that the enzyme is fully active in the monomeric form.
