BackgroundIn China， the structure shift from just one-child family to both one-child and more-than-one-child families is happening. Exploring how the sibling relationships effect between adolescent personality impulsivity and aggressivity is of great significance for promoting adolescent mental health as well as maintaining social harmony and stability. ObjectiveTo investigate the effecting path of sibling relationships between personality impulsivity and aggressivity in adolescents， so as to provide references for the prevention of violent and aggressive behavior in adolescents. MethodsFrom February to April， 2023， a total of 1 200 students with sibling relationships from 12 primary and secondary schools in a county of Sichuan province were included by random sampling. Barratt Impulsivity Scale （BIS-11）， Chinese Version of Buss & Perry Aggression Questionnaire （AQ-CV）， and Sibling Relationship Questionnaire （SRQ） were used for cross-sectional investigation. Pearson Correlation Analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the scores of these scales. Bootstrap method was used to test the effecting path of sibling relationships between personality impulsivity and aggressivity. ResultsThe total score of BIS-11 was positively correlated with that of AQ-CV as well as the scores of conflict and competition dimensions in SRQ （r=0.485、0.276、0.280，P<0.01）， while negatively correlated with the score of warmth/intimacy dimension in SRQ （r=-0.383， P<0.01）. The total score of AQ-CV was positively correlated with the scores of conflict and competition dimensions in SRQ （r=0.387， 0.340， P<0.01）， while negatively correlated with the score of warmth/intimacy dimension in SRQ （r=-0.304， P<0.01）. Within SRQ， negative correlations could be observed between the score of warmth/intimacy and scores of conflict and competition （r=-0.307， -0.375， P<0.01）， whereas positive correlation could be observed between the score of conflict and that of competition （r=0.267， P<0.01）. The total effect of personality impulsivity level on aggressivity level in adolescent was 0.480 （P<0.01）. Sibling relationships played a mediating role between personality impulsivity and aggressivity in adolescents. Meanwhile， the indirect effect values of warmth/intimacy， conflict and competition were 0.054， 0.075 and 0.062， with the effect values accounting for 11.21%， 15.70% and 12.93%， respectively. ConclusionThe personality impulsivity of adolescents can directly affect their aggressivity， and sibling relationships may act as an important channel connecting personality impulsivity and aggressivity. ［Funded by 2023 Project of the Psychology and Behavioral Science Research Center of the Deyang Federation of Social Sciences （number， XLYXW2023305）］

The enhanced patterns were analyzed.The differences between different degree enhancement and extracapsular invasion and cervical lymph node metastasis of PTCs were compared.Results Seventy-three PTCs enhanced patterns showed that 52(71 .2%)nodules with hypoenhancement,13(1 7.8%)nodules with isoenhancement,8 (1 1 .0%)nodules with hyperenhancement.Twenty-three (44.2%,23/52 )nodules with extracapsular invasion in hypoenhancing patterns,and 1 5 (71 .4%,1 5/21 ) nodules with extracapsular invasion in isoenhancing or hyperenhancing patterns.There were significant differences between them(P <0.05).Twenty-five (48.1 %,25/52 ) nodules with cervical lymph node metastasis in hypoenhancing patterns,and 13 (61 .9%,13/21 ) nodules with cervical lymph node metastasis in isoenhancing or hyperenhancing patterns,there was no significant difference between them(P >0.05 ).Conclusions The degree of enhancement are correlate to invasiveness in PTCs,PTCs with isoenhancement or hyperenhancement patterns were more often with extracapsular invasion.

Objective: To explore the impact of online sexuality education courses on the sexual knowledge, attitudes and related behaviors of rural girls, so as to provide the practical guidance for promoting sexual health and development. Methods: From February to June 2023, by posting information online and through commonweal organization websites, rural primary schools in 12 provinces were recruited for a semester of online sexuality education courses from October to November 2023. A self compiled sexuality education questionnaire was used to survey the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of rural girls before and after the course intervention, with pre tests in September 2023 and post tests in December 2023. The eligible samples were 3 058 and 2 602 , respectively. Independent sample t tests and text frequency and sentiment analysis were used to process the data Results: In terms of sexual knowledge, the scores of rural girls before and after the test were (8.49±3.29) and (9.40±3.35), respectively, with the post test score being higher than the pre test ( t =-10.20, P <0.01). In terms of attitudes, the scores of rural girls before and after the test were (11.50±4.62) and (10.82±4.80), respectively, with a decrease in stigmatization towards physiological development in the post test ( t =5.40, P <0.01). Regarding sexual related behaviors, the frequency of sexualbased bullying among rural girls was (5.12±2.13) before and (4.89±2.18) after, with a statistically significant difference ( t =3.99, P <0.01). The frequency and willingness of rural girls to discuss sexual topics with significant others both increased on post test (pre test:8.45±2.62; post test: 8.73± 2.62) and (pre test:8.90±2.46, post test:9.16±2.46), with a statistically significant difference ( t =-3.91, -4.03, P < 0.01 ). Text analysis revealed that "boys" "girls" and "menstruation" were the most concerned topics among the participants, and compared to before receiving sex education (69.91%), the proportion of negative emotions among rural girls decreased ( 18.59 %). Conclusion Online sexuality education courses can improve the sexual knowledge of rural girls, reduce stigma and negative emotions towards sex, decrease the incidence of sexual based bullying and increase the frequency and willingness to discuss sexual topics with parents, teachers, and peers.

OBJECTIVETo identify Oncomelania hupensis snail habitats and areas with high transmission potential by GIS/RS.

METHODSMarshland areas near high endemic villages of schistosomiasis in the Poyang Lake region were selected. Corresponding map was digitized and (Landsat 5 TM) image was corrected according to the digital map. The image in dry seasons was calculated by both normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and tasseled cap model.

RESULTSResult showed that snails spots were distributed in class 6, 7 and 8. Farther analysis of both NDVI and tasseled cap model showed that the snail habitats were mainly distributed in the areas where NDVI value was more than 110, and in tasseled cap wetness value between -10 to 3 with correction rate 94.93%.

CONCLUSIONFirst step was to use unsupervised classification to define the class 6, 7 and 8 snail habitat environment. Second step was to extract the value by NDVI model, and to define a healthy vegetation as snail suspicious habitat when NDVI value was more than 110. Then the third step was to use tasseled cap wetness model to define the areas as snail habitats which value was between -10 to 3.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Dianxianqing granule on the interleukin(IL-6)content and glial fibrillary acid-ic protein(GFAP),ionized calcium linker molecules 1(Iba-1)expressions in hippocampus tissue of rats with kainate-induced epi-lepsy,and explore its mechanism of preventing and treating epilepsy. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (distilled water),model group (distilled water),phenytoin group (0.03 g/kg,positive control) and Dianxianqing granule low-dose,medium-dose,high-dose groups(4.74,9.47,18.94 g/kg,calculated by crude drug),20 in each group. Rats were intra-gastrically administrated once a day,for 7 d. After 1 h of last administration,except for sham operation group,rats in other groups received single injection of kainite in hippocampus CA1 of left side to induce the epilepsy model. Behavioral changes and death of rats were observed. After 24 h of modeling,enzyme-linked immunosorbent method was used to detect the IL-6 content in hippocam-pus tissue of rats,Nissl staining was used to count the hippocampus neurons,and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the GFAP,Iba-1 expressions in hippocampus tissue of rats. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,rats in model group had obvious epilepsy symptoms after modeling,and parts of rats died;IL-6 content and number of neurons in hippocampus tissue were obviously decreased (P<0.01), while GFAP, Iba-1 expressions were obviously enhanced (P<0.01). Compared with model group,epilepsy symptoms and death in each administration group had improved,while IL-6 content in hippocampus tissue were in-creased to varying degrees,with no statistical significance (P>0.05). The numbers of neurons in phenytoin group,Dianxianqinggranule medium-dose, high-dose groups were obviously in-creased(P<0.01);GFAP expression was obviously decreased (P<0.01). Iba-1 expressions in hippocampus tissue in phenyt-oin group,Dianxianqing granule high-dose group were obvi-ously decreased (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Dianxianqing granule can play the role in preventing and treating epilepsy by inhibiting GFAP,Iba-1 expressions in hippocampus tissue and in-creasing the number of neurons in hippocampus tissue.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) in promoting recovery of the facial function with the involvement of autophagy, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. METHODS: Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into the control, sham-operated, facial nerve injury (FNI), EA, EA+3-methyladenine (3-MA), and EA+GDNF antagonist groups using a random number table, with 12 rats in each group. An FNI rat model was established with facial nerve crushing method. EA intervention was conducted at Dicang (ST 4), Jiache (ST 6), Yifeng (SJ 17), and Hegu (LI 4) acupoints for 2 weeks. The Simone's 10-Point Scale was utilized to monitor the recovery of facial function. The histopathological evaluation of facial nerves was performed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The levels of Beclin-1, light chain 3 (LC3), and P62 were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Additionally, IHC was also used to detect the levels of GDNF, Rai, PI3K, and mTOR. RESULTS: The facial functional scores were significantly increased in the EA group than the FNI group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). HE staining showed nerve axons and myelin sheaths, which were destroyed immediately after the injury, were recovered with EA treatment. The expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3 were significantly elevated and the expression of P62 was markedly reduced in FNI rats (P<0.01); however, EA treatment reversed these abnormal changes (P<0.01). Meanwhile, EA stimulation significantly increased the levels of GDNF, Rai, PI3K, and mTOR (P<0.01). After exogenous administration with autophagy inhibitor 3-MA or GDNF antagonist, the repair effect of EA on facial function was attenuated (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS EA could promote the recovery of facial function and repair the facial nerve damages in a rat model of FNI. EA may exert this neuroreparative effect through mediating the release of GDNF, activating the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway, and further regulating the autophagy of facial nerves.

Objective To investigate the epidemic factors of schistosomiasis in wetlands in Sichuan Province, so as to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of schistosomiasis in wetlands. Methods The artificial and natural wetlands were selected from Sichuan Province, and the relevant data regarding wetlands were collected. Routine snail survey, investigation on human morbidity due to schistosomiasis, snail diffusion experiments, questionnaire survey, determination of water infectivity and retrospective survey were conducted. Results In Sichuan Province, the mean densities of living snails were 0.003 snails/0.1 m² and 2.033 snails/0.1 m² in the upper and lower reaches of the Meiwan Reservoir wetlands, 0.08 snails/0.1 m² in the Jinyan Lake of Guanghan City, 0.21 snails/0.1 m² in Muhe River of Guanghan City, and 0.02 snails/0.1 m² prior to the construction of Qiong-hai wetland park in Xichang City in 2015. Artificial simulation experiments showed that the largest distance of snail diffusion in water was 2 000 m. There were 8.80% (41/466) of subjects that lived neighboring wetlands, worked in wetlands and visited wet-lands having infested water contact behaviors. A total of 690 sentinel mice were assigned, and no Schistosoma japonicum infection was detected in the 677 mice dissected. Retrospective survey showed that the construction of the Meiwan Reservoir caused the spread of schistosomiasis in Dailing County, and snails were found in the ditches entering the Jinyan Lake and in Jinyan Lake areas 5 years following the construction of the Jinyan Lake in Guanghan City, with S. japonicum -infected snails detected in the ditches entering the Jinyan Lake. Conclusions O. hupensis snails are found in some wetlands in Sichuan Province. Protection of wetlands and snail control with environmental improvements are recommended for the prevention of snail importation in natural wetlands, while in artificial wetlands, thorough snail control is recommended during the construction of the wetlands because of the likelihood of snail importation via water systems. In addition, both natural and artificial wetlands require long-term systematic surveillance of schistosomiasis.
