Objective:
To explore the relationship between abuse experience with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts of junior middle school students, and to provide a reference for suicide prevention of junior middle school students.
Methods:
Cluster sampling method were used to selct 10 289 junior middle school students from 25 districts and counties of Chongqing were included in the analysis of this study from July to September in 2020. And Questionnaire on Abuse in Childhood and Mental Health Scale for Middle School Students were applied to collect the data about demographic information, suicide ideation and behavior.
Results:
The prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among junior middle school students were 20.93% and 10.83%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression model found that after controlling for demographic variables and mental health, emotional abuse ( OR =2.07) and emotional neglect ( OR =2.03) showed higher correlations with suicidal ideation than the other three types of childhood abuse( OR physical neglect =1.19, OR physical abuse =1.60, OR sexual abuse =1.37, P <0.05); and sexual abuse ( OR =2.29) and physical neglect ( OR =1.87) showed higher associations with suicide attempt than the other three types of abuse( OR emotional abuse =1.63, OR emotional neglect =1.59, OR physical abuse =1.50, P <0.01).
Conclusion
All five types of child abuse were independent risk factors for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, and emotional neglect and emotional abuse had a greater effect on suicidal ideation, sexual abuse and physical neglect had a greater effect on suicide attempts.

Objective To analyze the effects of different thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) cut-off values on the screening of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in newborns in Guangxi.Methods The TSH results of 83 608 newborns tested by Genetic Screening Processor (GSP) from the Genetic Metabolism Center of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from May 2017 to April 2018 were collected.Using the percentile method and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve method,the TSH cut-off values were calculated and compared with the assumed cut-off values 9.00 or 10.00 mU/L,to analyze the effects of four different TSH cut-off values on CH screening.Results Using GSP,the TSH results of 83 608 newborns showed a positive skewed distribution,TSH cut-off value of the percentile method (P99) was 7.96 mU/L,836 cases were suspicious,43 cases were diagnosed with CH (6 cases were missed diagnosis),and 65 cases were high TSH (21 cases were missed diagnosis);TSH cut-off value of the ROC curve method was 6.45 mU/L,1 480 case were suspicious,49 cases were diagnosed with CH,and 86 cases were high TSH,both were no missed diagnosis;when TSH cut-off values were 9.00 or 10.00 mU/L,the suspicious were 478 and 305 cases,respectively,and the confirmed CH were 37 and 35 cases (missed diagnosis were 12 and 14 cases,respectively),high TSH were 46 and 33 cases (missed diagnosis were 40 and 53 cases,respectively).The CH incidence of the ROC curve method was compared with the percentile method and using the cut-off values 9.00 and 10.00 mU/L,the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions The GSP and ROC curve method were used to successfully establish the TSH cut-off value on the screening of CH in newborns in Guangxi.The cut-off value can not only ensure the accuracy of screening,but also avoid missed diagnosis and reduce birth defects.
