Objective:
In order to provide guidance for the prevention and control of epidemic situations in schools, this paper explores the risk perception and prevention behaviors of college students after classes resume in the post-epidemic period of novel coronavirus pneumonia.
Methods:
By using convenient sampling method, 835 college students who resumed classes were randomly selected from a university in Guizhou. Self-efficacy questionnaire, perceived social support questionnaire and self-designed questionnaire were adiministered.
Results:
Totally 37.0% of college students believed that the risk of infection was high, 57.4% of college students believed the severity of infection was very high once get infected, meanwhile, 84.3% of them think that keeping away from crowded places was a better preventive behavior, 89.7% of college students often wear masks, 91.4% of college students wash their hands frequently. There was a significant positive correlation between general self-efficacy, perceived social support and preventive behavior (r=0.10-0.65, P<0.01). General self-efficacy and perceived social support play both a partial intermediary role and a chain intermediary role between risk perception and preventive behavior.
Conclusion
Risk perception of Novel Coronavirus was moderate among college students, who can take active measures to effectively prevent it. Risk perception could not only directly affect the prevention behavior of college students, but also indirectly affect the prevention behavior of college students through understanding social support and general self-efficacy.

Objective:To explore the effect of gemcitabine-associated thrombocytopenia on the survival time of patients with ad-vanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: The data of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with gemcitabine from January to December 2011 were retrospectively collected. According to the lowest platelet (PLT) value of the first treatment of gemcitabine,the patients were divided into two groups,PLT higher than 50 × 109·L-1group(43 cases) and PLT lower than 50 × 109·L-1group(24 cases). The survival time was retrieved by referring to the electronic medical records. The relevant in-dices in the two groups were compared and analyzed by COX multiple factors. Results:A total of 67 patients were enrolled in the stud-y. Except for the pathological type,there were no significant differences in gender,age and chemotherapy cycle between the groups(P>0.05). There was significant difference in the survival time between the groups (P<0.05). The median survival time of the pa-tients with PLT higher than 50 × 109·L-1was significantly longer than that of the patients with PLT less than 50 × 109·L-1. Con-clusion:Compared with the patients with mild thrombocytopenia(I/II),gemcitabine induced severe thrombocytopenia(III/IV) in the patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) has effect on the survival time of the patients. Therefore,it is necessary to do a good job in the prevention and treatment of thrombocytopenia.

Objective:
To explore the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in predicting non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior among college students, and to analyze the influencing factors of NSSI behavior, thus providing a reference for promoting psychological well-being.
Methods:
In December 2022, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 835 college students from a university in Guizhou Province, China. The Adolescent Self-injury Scale, Family Function Assessment Scale, and Emotion Regulation Self-efficacy Scale were used to evaluate the participants. Demographic characteristics, family factors, and emotional factors were taken as independent variables, while the dependent variable was whether college students exhibited NSSI behavior. Machine learning algorithms, including Logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), decision trees, algorithm gradient boosting trees, random forests, and AdaBoost, were used to construct predictive models.
Results:
The detection rate of NSSI behavior among the college students was 23.23% (194 individuals). The NSSI behavior group scored higher than the non-NSSI behavior group in total family function, emotional communication, egoism, and family rules ( t=3.02, 3.35 , 2.23,2.87, P <0.05). On the other hand, the non-NSSI behavior group scored higher than the NSSI behavior group in total emotion regulation selfefficacy, managing negative emotion self-efficacy, and expressing positive emotion self-efficacy ( t=-5.04, -5.48 , -2.43, P <0.05). The recall rates of random forests, SVM, Logistic regression, decision trees, algorithm gradient boosting trees, and AdaBoost were 84.3% , 90.6%, 73.4%, 87.5%, 95.3%, 89.0%, respectively. The F1 scores were 84.4%, 92.1%, 71.2 %, 79.4%, 91.7%, 89.1% , respectively. The respective precision rates were 84.4%, 93.5%, 69.1%, 72.7%, 88.4%, 89.1 %. The AUC scores were 0.845, 0.922, 0.706, 0.776, 0.915, and 0.891, respectively.
Conclusion
Compared to the algorithm gradient boosting tree, random forest, Logistic regression, and AdaBoost models, the SVM model has a better predictive effect on whether college students in Guizhou Province exhibits NSSI behavior. It is recommended to use an appropriate model to identify students at risk of NSSI behavior as early as possible and provide psychological crisis interventions to promote their mental health.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between related factors of non-suicidal self-injury behavior (NSSI) among middle school students in Guizhou Province, so as to provide the evidence for preventing high risk behaviors in adolescents.
Methods:
A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 034 junior and senior middle school students from Zunyi City, Qiannan Prefecture and Tongren City in Guizhou Province from April to October in 2023. Questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information including Adolescent Self injury Scale and Family Assessment Device. The R 4.4.1 software was employed for network analysis visualization, centrality indicators, and result stability assessment.
Results:
The detection rate of NSSI behavior among middle school students in Guizhou province was 29.6%, with a detection rate of 25.5% for boys and 33.1% for girls, showing a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=7.07, P <0.05). There were statistically significant differences in scores of emotional communication, egoism, family rules, positive communication, problem solving, expression of positive emotions and management of negative emotions self-efficacy, and bullying victimization in various dimensions between middle school students with and without NSSI ( Z =-13.66 to -7.05, P <0.01). NSSI among middle school students was positively correlated with social/relational bullying, depression and anxiety, and there were relatively close connections in the network ( r =0.35, 0.43, 0.42, P <0.01). Centrality indicators showed that the highest in strength and closeness centrality were stress ( Z =1.29, 1.58), the highest in betweenness centrality was for emotional communication ( Z =1.91), and the highest in expected influence index was for physical bullying ( Z =1.44)( P < 0.05).
Conclusions
Stress, emotional communication and physical bullying have significant impacts in the network of factors related to NSSI. Social/relational bullying, depression and anxiety have strong direct correlations with NSSI behavior among middle school students.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the effects of Linggui Zhugantang (LGZGT) on ventricular remodeling (VR) in mice with myocardial infarction (MI) and its impact on the Ras homologgene A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway. MethodsThe MI model of mice was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). They were divided into the sham-operated group, the model group, the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of LGZGT (2.34, 4.68, 9.36 g·kg-1), and the captopril group (3.25 mg·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. After four weeks of continuous drug administration by gavage, the level of cardiac function in each group of mice was examined using small animal Doppler ultrasound. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson staining was used to assess the morphological changes of myocardial tissue and calculate the rate of collagen fiber deposition in mouse myocardial tissue. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining was employed to compare the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes in each group of mice. The expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), type Ⅰcollagen (Col Ⅰ), Col Ⅲ, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1(TIMP1), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax), Bcl-2, Caspase-3, and cleaved Caspase-3 were detected by Western blot. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to evaluate the mRNA levels of the pathway-related genes RhoA, ROCK1, and ROCK2. The protein expression levels of RhoA, ROCK1, and ROCK2 were tested by Western blot. ResultsThe level of cardiac function was markedly declined in the model group compared to the sham-operated group(P<0.01). Myocardial tissue morphology changed significantly. The cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes was significantly enlarged. The expression of α-SMA, MMP-2, Col Ⅰ, and Col Ⅲ was significantly upregulated(P<0.01), and TIMP1 protein expression was significantly reduced(P<0.01). The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins Bax were significantly up-regulated(P<0.01), while the expression of Bcl-2 protein was significantly decreased(P<0.01). The mRNA expression of RhoA, ROCK1, and ROCK2 were significantly upregulated (P<0.01). Compared to the model group, the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of LGZGT and the captopril group significantly reversed the experimental results of the model group in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionLGZGT significantly attenuated myocardial fibrosis, myocardial hypertrophy, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis after MI in mice and effectively reversed VR, the mechanism of which may be related to the modulation of the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway.
