Abstract: Objective By analyzing the monitoring results of rodents in Hainan Province in 2022, the species composition, distribution, seasonal fluctuation, and density of rodents were understood and mastered, and the correlation between rodent density and meteorological factors in Haikou was explored, so as to provide a scientific basis for vector control and prevention and control of rodent-borne infectious diseases. Methods Using the night cage method, according to the "2022 Hainan Province Rodent Monitoring Implementation Plan”, monitoring was conducted in 17 cities and counties every two months starting from January. Excel 2021 software was used to sort out the monitoring data and draw the chart, and SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis. Spearman correlation analysis was used for the correlation between rodent density and meteorological factors. Results In 2022, the overall rodent density in Hainan Province was 4.32% (1 166/27 008). Brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) was the dominant species, accounting for 72.21% (842/1 166) of the total captures. In terms of area, the highest rodent density was 27.27% (367/1 346) in Changjiang County, followed by Haikou, Wanning, and Sanya, with rodent densities of 8.59% (155/1 804), 6.55% (77/1 176), and 5.11% (81/1 586), respectively. Different habitat types had different rodent densities, with the highest in rural residential areas at 4.49% (402/8 962); key industries (dining, food manufacturing and sales, construction sites, slaughtering, brewing, etc.) had a density of 4.41% (404/9 153); and urban residential areas had a density of 4.05% (360/8 893). In terms of seasonal fluctuation, the overall rodent density showed a downward trend after reaching its peak in May. The peak rodent density in rural residential areas was in July (5.73%), there was no distinct peak period in urban residential areas, and the peak period for key industries occurred in May (6.87%). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the rodent density in Haikou was positively correlated with average temperature and accumulated sunshine time (r=0.90, 0.9; P<0.05). Conclusions The density of rodents in Hainan Island is relatively high. Cities and counties need to compare annual monitoring data to reasonably assess the risk and formulate appropriate control measures according to the actual local situation.

Objective To evaluate the clinical characteristics of aortic dissection in pregnant patients with Marfan syndrome and the maternal and fetal outcomes in cardiovascular surgery. Methods Seven pregnant women with Marfan syndrome with aortic dissection were identified, who were treated in Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 2012 and September 2014. Patient charts were reviewed for cardiovascular surgery, occurrence of complications, clinical features and the maternal and fetal outcomes. Results (1)Among 7 patients, 4 cases were diagnosed as type A aortic dissection and 3 were cases diagnosed as type B aortic dissection. The diagnosis mainly depends on CT angiography. New York Heart Association(NYHA)classify into 5 of levelⅡ, 1 of levelⅢ, 1 of leveIⅣ. Except for 1 patient with cardiac tamponade lead to heart failure, the remaining 6 cases had no complications.(2)Three patients underwent heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in second trimester and two patients underwent heart surgery in third trimester. Two patients terminated pregnancy before heart surgery(one of whom underwent artificial abortion,one of whom underwent cesarean section in second trimester).(3)The methods of cardiovascular surgeries were as follow:3 of Bentall+Sun′, 1 of Bentall+Sun′+right coronary artery bypass grafting, 1 of Bentall, 1 of the whole chest aorta replacement surgery, and 1 of femoral artery catheter chest aorta with membrane mesh stent implantation. The diameter of aortic roots measured during operation were 5 cm in 2 cases, 7 cm in 2 cases and 10 cm in 2 cases respectively. Among the 7 cases, 3 were conducted cesarean sections during cardiovascular surgery,1 was terminated pregnancy due to intrauterine fetal death after cardiovascular surgery, and 1 was conducted cesarean section due to severe early-onset preeclampsia at 30 weeks of pregnancy after cardiovascular surgery. (4)Among the 7 cases, 3 were conducted cesarean sections during cardiovascular surgery, the order of which was implemented cesarean section under general anesthesia firstly and then operated cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and heparinization. Two were conducted cardiovascular surgery after termination of pregnancy by early artificial abortion operation or hysterotomy. 1 was conducted Bentall surgery at 18 weeks of pregnancy, after that the patient was receiving warfarin until the fetal brain hemorrhage was examined by ultrasound at 31 weeks of pregnancy;the patient was conducted cesarean section due to intrauterine fetal death. 1 was conducted heart surgery at 24 weeks of pregnancy and continue the pregnancy to 30 weeks, was conducted cesarean section due to severe early-onset preeclampsia at 30 weeks of pregnancy.(5)Among 7 patients, three patients underwent heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass combined with cesarean section. Two patients terminated pregnancy after heart surgery. Two patients terminated pregnancy before heart surgery. Six patients were alive and one patient died of multiple organ failure.(6)3 cases of newborn with birth body mass between 1 080 to 1 490 g.1 case of birth died after 14 d. 2 cases for newborns were alive without exception. Conclusion Aortic dissection poses serious risk for pregnant women with Marfan syndrome and the fetus, and the mortality rates for both the mother and the fetus are high. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment should be based on maternal and fetal conditions (such as aortic dissection, gestational age). When fetus is mature, cardiovascular surgery should be carried out with cesarean section. A multi-disciplinary team between obstetric and cardiovascular surgery is crucial to the outcome of these critical patients.

Objective To explore the application of time series models based on meteorological factors in the population density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province. Methods The density of Aedes albopictus in different habitats in 18 cities and counties of Hainan Province from 2017 to 2022 was monitored monthly using the double-mosquito net trapping index and the Breteau index. Mann-Kendall trend test was used to analyze the temporal trends of the two density indices; Spearman's correlation analysis was employed to assess the correlation strength between each meteorological factor and the two indexes, eliminating unrelated variables, and further selecting the final variables through the full-subset regression method. Three time-series models were constructed for the two density indices, with root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and other accuracy metrics used to determine the optimal model; predictions for the density indices for 2023-2024 were made. All statistical analyses were performed in R (4.3.1). Results The net trapping and Breteau indices showed an overall decrease over the years (Z-values of Mann-Kendall trend test were -6.15 and -4.03, respectively, and P<0.05). The meteorological factor most strongly associated with the trap index was the monthly average minimum temperature; monthly mean minimum temperature and monthly mean relative humidity were strongly correlated with the Breteau index. Based on various evaluation indicators, the multivariate time series model demonstrated the highest accuracy. The study predicts one to two peaks in both the trap index and Breteau Index for the years 2023 and 2024, with peak periods occurring between June to September and May to September, respectively. The predicted value for 2023 aligns with the measured value, demonstrating outstanding predictive accuracy. Conclusions This study has introduced meteorological factors into the seasonal time series model, allowing for more accurate predictions of the density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province from 2023 to 2024, providing a model framework for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(1):94-98
Objective:
To explore the chain mediating effect of regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital on resilience and the mental health of college students.
Methods:
A total of 809 college students of Chaohu University were selected and were administered with the the Self report Symptom Invertory, Symptom Checklist,90 (SCL-90), Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Regulatory Emotional Self efficacy Scale (RES-C) and Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed, taking resilience, regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital as independent variables and the mental health of college students as dependent variables, meanwhile test the intermediary effect.
Results:
Differences were found in resilience(3.52±0.55,3.27±0.42), regulatory emotional self efficacy(3.58± 0.59 ,3.32±0.57), positive psychological capital(4.74±0.77,4.49±0.76) and mental health(158.66±33.01,176.53±34.73) among college students with different sources(urban and rural)( t =55.82,39.22,21.28,-54.14, P <0.05). Resilience, regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital were significantly associated with the severity of mental health of college students( R 2= 0.21, P <0.01). Regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital played a significant chain mediating role between resilience and poor mental health( effect =-0.03, P <0.05), and the mediating effect accounted for 39.3% of the total effect.
Conclusion
The mental health of college students can be improved by strengthening levels of resilience and enhancing regulatory emotional self efficacy, and constructing positive psychological capital could contribute to the association between resilience and mental health.
6.Interaction effects between childhood emotional overeating and polygenic influences on pubertal timing and tempo
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(4):497-500
Objective:
To explore the interaction effects and possible sex differences in childhood emotional overeating and polygenic influences on adolescent pubertal timing and tempo.
Methods:
In March 2016 (T0), all participants were recruited from grades 1 to 3 from two primary school of Bengbu, Anhui Province using cluster sampling, and follow up surveys were conducted once per year (T1, T2, T3). Emotional overeating was assessed at T1 and pubertal development was assessed annually (breast Tanner stage in girls and testicular volume in boys). The nonlinear growth model was used to estimate pubertal timing and tempo. Polygenic risk scores were calculated based on 17 SNPs for early pubertal timing. Hierarchical linear regression was performed to examine the interaction effects between childhood emotional overeating and polygenic risk scores on pubertal timing and tempo.
Results:
The complete data of 896 children were analyzed, including 373 boys (41.60%) and 523 girls (58.40%). A total of 203 (22.7%) children reported emotional overeating behavior at T1. After adjusting for several variables including early life adversity, delivery mode, and birthweight, only emotional overeating was associated with accelerated pubertal tempo among girls with a high genetic risk (B=0.19, 95%CI=0.07~0.32, P<0.01), although there was no association with pubertal timing (B=0.14, 95%CI=-0.12~0.41,P=0.28). In girls with a low genetic risk and boys, no evidence was found to support interaction effects between childhood emotional overeating and polygenic influences on pubertal timing and tempo (P>0.05).
Conclusion
Emotional overeating was associated with a faster pubertal tempo in girls who had a high genetic risk of early pubertal development.
7.A cohort study on the association between sugar-sweetened beverage intake and childhood obesity using a group-based trajectory model
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(4):506-509
Objective:
To evaluate the development trajectory of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake in childhood, and to explore the influence of different SSB intake patterns on childhood obesity.
Methods:
In 2016, a follow-up cohort study was carried out in two primary schools in Bengbu, Anhui Province. Three annual follow-ups were conducted in 1 263 children at baseline, and 997 children were included in the final analysis. Parental and student questionnaires were used to obtain basic information related to the children s consumption of SSBs. A group-based trajectory model (GBTM) was applied to classify the development trajectory of SSB intake patterns in childhood. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess the correlation between different SSB intake patterns and childhood obesity.
Results:
GBTM identified four childhood SSB intake patterns, namely, the "persistently-low group (n=822), “decreasing-after-increasing” group (n=20), “gradually-decreasing” group (n=106), and “increasing” group (n=49). In the decreasing-after-increasing group and the gradually-decreasing group, baseline BMI levels and BMI levels obtained at the three follow-ups were significantly higher than those observed in the persistently-low group (F=6.26, 5.90, 5.99, 5.87, P<0.01). There were sex differences in the association between SSB intake patterns and the children s BMI levels. Among girls, after adjusting for confounding factors, the gradually decreasing group increased by 1.20 kg/m 2(B=1.20,95%CI=0.25-2.15, P=0.01) when compared with the persistently low group at the third follow-up. Among boys, no statistically significant association was found between SSB intake patterns and BMI levels (P>0.05).
Conclusion
Sex differences were observed with respect to the association between SSB intake patterns and obesity in children. Girls with a higher SSB intake had a significantly increased risk of obesity. Further studies are needed to explore the physiological mechanisms underlying sex differences, to provide the theoretical basis for developing intervention programs to prevent childhood obesity.

Objective:
To examine the associations between suicide and self-injury behavior with psychological adaptability of college students, so as to provide the basic information for prevention of suicide and self-injury behavior.
Methods:
A sample of 825 college students completed a self-report questionnaire that measured sociodemographic characteristics, anxiety, depressive symptoms, resilience, self-compassion, and forgiveness.
Results:
Among 825 college students, the prevalence rates of suicidal ideation, suicidal plan, suicidal preparation, and suicidal action were 9.9%, 3.5%, 2.5%, 1.8% respectively. The rate of self-injury was 11.8%. Compared with the group with low scores of forgiveness dimension, high score of forgiveness was the protective factor of suicidal psychological behavior (OR=0.26) and self-injury (OR=0.31) (P<0.05). Compared with the score of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale in each scale of mental resilience, low score was the risk factor of self-injury (OR=2.11), while high score was the protective factor of suicidal mental behaviors (OR=0.51) (P<0.05). Compared with the middle scores of the self-compassion scale and hearland forgiveness scale, the low scores were the risk factors for suicidal psychological behavior (OR=1.66, 2.28), while the high scores were the protective factors for suicidal psychological behavior (OR=0.33, 0.44) and self-injury (OR=0.35, 0.39) (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Psychological resilience, self-compassion and forgiveness are significantly correlated with suicide and self-injury, suggesting that colleges and universities should pay close attention to the mental health status of college students and help them reduce the incidence by improving their self-psychological adjustment ability.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(4):498-501
Objective:
To explore the relationships between the characteristics of childhood sexual abuse and non-suicidal self-injury in nursing female college students.
Methods:
Two medical colleges and junior colleges were selected in Anhui province. A total of 2 549 female nursing students in grade 1 to 3 were asked to fill a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic information,childhood sexual abuse and non-suicidal self-injury.
Results:
The reported rate of non-suicidal self-injury among female nursing students in the past six months was 8.2%. Sexual abuse at any time during childhood (primary school or earlier,middle school and high school) increased the risk of non-suicidal self-injury among female nursing students (P<0.05). Exposure to sexual abuse in all three periods was associated with 5.04(95%CI=1.73-14.62) times odds ratio than that of those who not exposed to sexual abuse (P<0.01). Only contact sexual abuse and both contact and non-contact sexual abuse in childhood were correlated with nonsuicidal selfinjury among female nursing students [OR(95%CI)=2.21(1.48-3.29), 3.56(2.13-5.96)] (P<0.05). Two patterns of sexual abuse experiences were identified,including persistent sexual abuse (3.1%) and the other group is occasional sexual (96.9%). Persistent sexual abuse in childhood was correlated to higher risk of non-suicidal self-injury compared with occasional sexual abuse (OR=2.61,95%CI=1.35-5.05,P<0.01).
Conclusion
The occurrence periods,types and patterns of sexual abuse in childhood are closely related to non-suicidal self-injury in female nursing students.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(5):705-708
Objective:
This study aimed to explore the relationship between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and sexual orientation among college students, and to explore possible sex difference.
Methods:
By using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method, 4 034 students were selected from 4 college schools. Self-made questionnaire was used to collect the demographic information, CSA experiences and sexual orientation. Logistic regression models were conducted to examine sex differences in the relationship between different types and timing of CSA and sexual orientation.
Results:
The reporting rates of heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and asexual orientation of college students were 93.2%, 0.7%, 3.7% and 2.4%, respectively. For males, contact CSA (OR=14.70, 95%CI=5.73-37.72), both contact and noncontact CSA (OR=4.33,95%CI=1.91-9.84) in elementary school or earlier were associated with sexual orientaion. non-contact CSA (OR=4.20, 95%CI=2.21-7.98), both contact and noncontact CSA (OR=3.57, 95%CI=1.65-7.70) in middle school were related to sexual orientation. However, for females, non-contact CSA (OR=1.78, 95%CI=1.02-3.13) and both contact and non-contact CSA (OR=3.13, 95%CI=1.35-7.23) in elementary school or earlier were associated with sexual orientation.
Conclusion
CSA experiences are associated with sexual orientation in sex-specific manner, with significant stronger association among males.
