BackgroundThe violent aggressive behaviors of patients with schizophrenia usually have the characteristics of suddenness, unpredictability, high severity, and great difficulty in prevention. Early identification and accurate assessment of their risk of violent aggression have significant clinical significance. ObjectiveTo construct a predictive model for the violence risk in hospitalized patients with schizophrenia, to identify the key factors influencing the occurrence of violent behavior in these patients, so as to provide references for clinical precise quantitative assessment and early intervention. MethodsA total of 200 patients with schizophrenia who were hospitalized at Taiyuan Psychiatric Hospital from March 2022 to September 2024 and met the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases, eleventh edition (ICD-11) were collected to form the modeling cohort. They were randomly divided into a training set (n=140) and a test set (n=60) at a ratio of 7∶3. Based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression algorithm, the feature variables were screened and dimension-reduced. The support vector machine (SVM) from machine learning was selected for model training and prediction. The discrimination efficacy of the model was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, F1 value, and Brier value. ResultsLASSO regression screening identified 16 feature variables. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between prior violent behavior frequency and clinical psychiatric symptom scores (r=0.580, P<0.01), a positive correlation between hospitalization compliance and current disease status (r=0.550, P=0.003), and a positive correlation between educational level and family per capita monthly income (r=0.367, P<0.01). The SVM model achieved an AUC of 0.853, accuracy of 0.800, precision of 0.810, sensitivity of 0.895, specificity of 0.636, F1 value of 0.850, and Brier value of 0.168. ConclusionThe SVM model has a relatively high level of applicability and overall predictive performance in the assessment of violent risk in schizophrenia patients, which is helpful for the early identification of violent risks in such patients.

Objective:
To understand the hydration status and related factors of rural boarding primary school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for drinking water health intervention for primary school students.
Methods:
In November 2023, a convenience sampling approach was employed to conduct a hydration status survey among 144 boarding students in grades 5 and 6 of a rural primary school in Guangxi. The Duplicate meal method and weighing method were utilized to measure the food derived water intake over three consecutive days. Urine osmolarity of students was measured on site for three days, and a simple physical examination was also carried out. A self administered questionnaire was used to investigate students drinking water literacy, daily water intake, and physical activity levels. Meanwhile, a drinking water literacy survey was conducted among 21 substitute teachers and 144 parents of the boarding students in grades 5 and 6. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with students hydration status.
Results:
The median daily total water intake of students was 2 043.55 mL, and 54.86% of the students did not reach the recommended Adequate Intake (AI). The median food derived water intake was 1 149.24 mL, accounting for 53.94% of the total water intake. Univariate analysis revealed that the daily drinking frequency, daily water intake, and food derived water intake of students were related factors of hydration status ( β =-1.60, -1.01, -0.00, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that primary school students with a daily drinking frequency of ≥7 times were more likely to maintain an adequate hydration status ( OR =0.28, 95% CI =0.09-0.93, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The water intake from food is the main source of water in the body for boarding primary school students in a certain rural school in Guangxi. Primary school students should increase their water intake frequency appropriately to maintain an adequate hydration status.

Objective:To analyze the cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of uremic patients complicated with depressive symptoms by transcranial color-coded Doppler(TCCD),and explore the correlation between cerebral hemodynamic indicators and uremia complicated with depressive symptoms.Methods:A total of 70 uremic patients received hemodialysis in our hospital from Dec 2022 to Dec 2023 were enrolled,in which 37 patients complicated with depressive symptoms were selected as the research group,and 40 patients without depressive symptoms were selected as the control group.Peak systolic velocity(PSV),end diastolic velocity(EDV),mean velocity(MV),and pulsatility index(PI)of bilateral middle cerebral artery(MCA)were compared.Binary logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors for uremia complicated with depressive symptoms,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were generated for key parameters.Results:There was no significant difference in PSV between the two groups(P>0.05),while EDV and MV of bilateral MCA in the research group were lower but PI was higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Age was positively correlated with the depressive symptoms in uremic patients,while EDV,MV of bilateral MCA and left PSV were negatively correlated with depressive symptoms of uremic patients(P<0.05).The elevated level of HCO3-in blood increased the risk of uremia complicated with depressive symptoms(OR=1.245,95%CI:1.024-1.513).When the left EDV was 41.25 cm/s,the predicted occurrence rate of depressive symptoms in uremic patients was 74.6%,with a specificity of 62%and a sensitivity of 85%.Conclusions:EDV and MV of bilateral MCA in patients with uremia complicated with depressive symptoms were lower than those in patients with uremia without depressive symptoms.Age,EDV and MV of bilateral MCA and PSV of left MCA were associated with depressive symptoms.Left EDV<41.25 cm/s may serve as a hemodynamic marker for early clinical detection of depressive symptoms in uremia.TCCD can provide a reference for early clinical detection of uremic patients complicated with depressive symptoms.

This study assessed the role and mechanism of the recombinant Bacillus Calmette-Gue?rin vaccine(rBCG)with c-di-AMP adjuvant in regulating metabolism and immunity in epididymal white adipose(eWAT)in mice.Male C57BL/6 mice were intravenously immunized with BCG and rBCG,and their body weights were monitored.eWAT was isolated from the mice,and the stromal vascular fractions(SVFs)cell number was counted with a hemocytometer.Sections of mouse adipose tissue were prepared,and the size,number,and morphology of eWAT adipocytes and crown-like structure(CLS)formation were compared under a microscope after HE staining.The transcription levels of lipid metabolism-associated factors,cytokines and aging-associated genes in each group were determined with qRT-PCR.The body weights of mice gradually increased after immunization with BCG and rBCG.The proportions of eWAT increased,and the SVFs cell number decreased,in rBCG immunized mice.HE staining indicated that BCG immunization promoted hyperplasia,whereas rBCG immunization promoted hypertrophy of eWAT adipocytes;moreover,both BCG and rBCG immunization induced CLS formation in eWAT.The qRT-PCR results indicated that rBCG immunization inhibited the expression of genes associated with lipolysis and energy expenditure in eWAT.BCG immunization had little effect on cytokine transcription,whereas rBCG significantly induced the transcription of IFN-γ and IL-1Ra,and inhibited that of IL-15 and IL-2,but did not induce the expression of aging-associated genes.Thus,rBCG immunization induced eWAT adipocyte hypertrophy,which was associated with the inhibition of eWAT lipolysis and the regulation of cytokine expression.

Objective:To analyze the attributable burden of active smoking on the deaths of cancer in inhabitants aged 30 years and above in Zhejiang Province.Methods:Comparative risk assessment approach in the Global Burden of Disease Study was used with the data from Zhejiang Adult Tobacco Surveillance System and Death Monitoring Surveillance System in 2020, and population attributable fraction (PAF), years of life lost (YLL), work of potential years of life lost (WPYLL) attributed to smoking on the deaths of cancer in inhabitants aged 30 years and above in Zhejiang Province were calculated with a linear regression model.Results:In 2020, there were 81 536 cancer deaths aged 30 years and above in the surveillance areas of Zhejiang Province, of which 24 518 were attributed to active smoking (PAF: 30.07%, attributable mortality rate: 55.04/100 000). The YLL was 553 078 person-years, with a standardized YLL rate of 12.40‰, and the WPYLL was 56 606 person-years. Among various cancer types, laryngeal cancer had the highest smoking-attributable PAF (44.75%), while lung cancer accounted for the most significant number of attributable deaths and life loss, with an age-standardized YLL rate of 4.65‰.Conclusions:Active smoking is a significant risk factor for cancer mortality in Zhejiang Province, with lung cancer posing the most significant disease burden. It is urgent to advance tobacco control legislation, strengthen targeted interventions, and promote early cancer screening to reduce the disease burden associated with smoking-related cancers effectively.
