Objective:
To understand the social adaptation in the association between attitude towards parents with academic anxiety among middle school students in Chongqing, so as to provide a basis and thinking method for theoretical framework of family education and youth development.
Methods:
Convenient and clustering sampling method was used to select 34 097 middle school students aged 13-18 years during September to November 2023. All the participants were investigated with self designed questionnaire, Social Adaptability Scale and Mental Health Test. The mediating effect of social adaptability in the relationship between students attitudes towards their parents academic anxiety was evaluated by using Logistic regression analysis and structural equation model.
Results:
The proportion of high school students in Chongqing with academic anxiety was 48.80%. Academic anxiety differed significantly by sex, academic grade, attitude towards parents, and social adaptability ( χ 2=948.45, 173.92, 537.51, 4 770.04, P < 0.01). The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that positive attitudes towards parents were positively correlated with moderate academic anxiety ( OR=1.13, 95%CI =1.08-1.18) and high academic anxiety ( OR=1.14, 95%CI =1.09-1.19) ( P < 0.05 ). The results of the mediation effect analysis showed that positive attitude of middle school students towards their parents negatively predicted academic anxiety ( β= -0.12 , P <0.01), but when social adaptation ability was used as a control variable, the original negative relationship between the positive attitude towards parents and academic anxiety of middle school students changed ( β=0.02, P <0.01), and social adaptation ability played a masking effect in the relationship. The social adaptation ability of middle school students played a mediating role in the relationship between their positive attitudes towards their parents and academic anxiety, with a mediating effect of -0.63.
Conclusions
The attitude of middle school students towards their parents will directly affect academic anxiety, and also have an indirect impact on academic anxiety through social adaptability, but there is a cover effect. Pay more attention to family education and actively focus on students social adaptability can contribute to improve the mental health level of adolescents.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of multipoint core needle biopsy (CNB) at mid-stage to predict the treatment effect of neoadjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer.Methods:A total of 67 breast cancer cases with indications of neoadjuvant systemic therapy were selected from Mar. 2021 to Nov. 2022.In the fourth cycle of neoadjuvant systemic therapy, core needle biopsy was performed at 3, 6, 9, 12 points of tumor bed and residual tumor foci of breast respectively.The results of CNB were compared with the results of routine pathology of surgery after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy. Matched biopsy and surgical specimens were compared to assess pCR. The accuracy and false negative rate (FNR) of interim pathological assessment were analyzed. The coincidence probability of interim biopsy pathology and pathology of standard surgical excision was verified.Results:The median age of enrolled patients was 49.2 years (21-69 years) .Median maximum tumor diameter before neoadjuvant systemic therapy and residual tumor diameter after neoadjuvant therapy were 40.4 mm (range 21-93mm) and 19.6 mm (range 0-41mm) respectively. A total of 28 patients achieved pCR, and the PCR rates of hormone receptor-positive and HER2-nagative,triple-negative,hormone receptor negative and HER2-positive and hormone receptor-positive and HER2-positive disease were 4/24 (16.7%) ,6/14 (42.9%) ,11/18 (61.1%) ,7/11 (63.6%), respectively. Two cases had no preoperative imaging abnormalities. The results of core needle biopsy pathology of residual tumor lesions in 55 patients were consistent with those of routine post-operation pathology.The results of core needle biopsy pathology of tumor bed of 56 patients was consistent with the routine pathology of surgery. The false negative rate of interim multipoint biopsy pathology of residual tumor foci was 17.9% (12/67). The false negative rate of tumor bed with core needle biopsy was 5.9% (4/67) .Conclusions:CNB guided under ultrasound is feasible in predicting tumor retreat situation in the tumor bed area and residual tumor foci at mid-stage of neoadjuvant therapy. Increasing the number of core needles and improving biopsy techniques may improve the accuracy of pathological evaluation of interim multipoint biopsy.

【Objective】 To study the composition and function of tongue coating (TC) and gastrointestinal
tract (GIT) microbiota in participants with yellow-greasy tongue coating (YGTC), and to explore the representative metabolite markers and pathways in this group.
【Methods】 Subjects with YGTC or thin-white tongue coating (TWTC) were recruited from December 1, 2021 to October 30, 2022, and the TC and fecal samples were collected. Samples were subjected to both whole-genome shotgun (WGS), and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The α-diversity analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and Spearman correlation analysis were performed for two groups. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) analysis was used to analyze metabolomics and enrichment of metabolic pathways.
【Results】 The results revealed 20 YGTC participates and 19 TWTC participates. At the genus
level, the dominant bacterial species of TC flora and intestinal flora in the two groups were roughly the same, but the relative kurtosis difference was marked, and the abundance of potentially pathogenic bacteria in TC and fecal samples of YGTC subjects was higher. There were 9 down-regulated microorganisms in the TC samples, 26 down-regulated microorganisms, and 6 up-regulated microorganisms in YGTC subjects. The α-diversity analysis indicated that the Chao and abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE) indices of TC bacteria in the YGTC subjects showed a decreasing trend, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The α-diversity of fecal samples and the Chao and ACE indices decreased significantly (P < 0.05). PCA showed that the microflora structure of TC and fecal samples were significantly different between the two groups. Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between TC and fecal microorganisms at phyla and genus levels in the same subjects (P > 0.05). The metabolomics results demonstrated that fumarate reductase, V/A ATPase, and phosphatidylethanolamine were increased, and glycerate-3p, UDP-glucose, and quinone oxidoreductase metabolites were decreased in YGTC TC samples. Inosine
monophosphate (IMP), uridine monophosphate (UMP), and gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA) were increased in YGTC fecal samples, while the contents of ribo-5P, histidine, biotin,and cobalamin were decreased. Metabolic pathway analysis indicated that the abundance of the TC and fecal samples of the YGTC subjects was relatively low in various metabolic pathways, including amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, and energy metabolism.
【Conclusion】 Structural and functional changes in TC and GIT microbiota or metabolite markers could be potential biological bases of YGTC formation.
