Objective To explore the role and significance of secretory phospholipase A2(sPLA2)in peripheral blood in preterm premature rup?ture of membranes(pPROM)and infection of amniotic cavity. Methods RT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of sPLA2 mRNA in pe?ripheral blood of 30 patients with pPROM (experimental group),30 non-full term normal pregnant patients without pPROM (normal control group)and 30 full term patients with PROM(full-term control group)before and after delivery. Fetal membranes were collected at the time of deliv?ery of patients with pPROM for pathologic examination to determine histological chorioamnionitis(HCA). Results The expression levels of sPLA2 mRNA in peripheral blood were 1.079±0.746 and 0.651±0.481 in the experimental group and the normal control group before delivery,respectively, indicating that the expression of sPLA2 mRNA was increased in the experimental group compared with the normal control group(P=0.011). The expression levels of sPLA2 mRNA in peripheral blood were 2.439±0.086 and 2.575±0.036 in the experimental group and the full-term control group at labor onset,respectively,indicating that there was no statistically significant difference in the level of sPLA2 mRNA in peripheral blood between the experimental group and the full-term control group at labor onset(P=0.787). The level of sPLA2 was related to chorioamnionitis in the experi?mental group at labor onset. Conclusion The increase of sPLA2 may participate in the pathogenesis of preterm premature rupture of membranes and is related with the infection of chorioamnionitis.

Objective:
To investigates the prevalence of depression and anxiety among middle school students at different times, and to provide a reference for mental health promotion among adolescents.
Methods:
A total of 1 505 middle school students, selected from Chongqing in 2021 by using multi stage stratified random sampling method, were surveyed by using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CSE-D) and Zung Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS).
Results:
At the beginning of the semester, 434(27.6%) and 601 students( 38.2 %) reported depressive and anxiety symptoms,respectively. While at the end of the semester showed that 463 cases (30.8%) were prone to depression, and 653 cases ( 43.4 %) reported depressive and anxiety symptoms,respectively. The detection rate of depressive symptoms at the end of the semester was significantly higher than that at the beginning of semester. (43.4%, 38.2 %, χ 2=8.55, P <0.05). Depressive of female students at the end of the semester( 52.8 %) was higher than that at the beginning of the semester(46.3%)( χ 2=6.19, P <0.05) The detection rate of anxiety symptoms in senior high school students at the end of the semester(44.9%) was significantly higher than that of at the beginning of the semester(28.6%) ( χ 2= 43.33 , P <0.01). No significant difference in anxiety symptoms boys and junior high school students between the beginning and the end of the semester ( χ 2=2.34, 0.71, P >0.05).
Conclusion
Substantial changes are observed in anxiety symptoms among female middle school students and depressive and anxiety symptoms among high school students in different periods of a semester. When investigating depression and anxiety of middle school students, time effect should be considered.

Objective:To explore the effects of mouth opening breathing for different reasons on children's maxillofacial development. Methods:One hundred and fifty-one children were selected as the research objects of this experiment. They were divided into 49 cases of adenoid hypertrophy group(group A), 52 cases of tonsillar hypertrophy group(group B) and 50 cases of adenoid with tonsillar hypertrophy group(Group C). Healthy children in the same period were selected as the control group, a total of 45 cases. The reflex nasopharyngeal measurement parameters, facial development indexes and cephalometric parameters of group A, group B, group C and control group were analyzed, and the incidence of Angle ClassⅡand Angle Class Ⅲ in group A, group B and group C were studied. Results:Compared with the control group, the reflex nasopharyngeal measurement parameters in group A, group B and group C was significantly different(P<0.05), and the cephalometric parameters changed with variation in groups(P<0.05). The incidence of Angle Class Ⅱ facial pattern in group A and group C was higher, but the incidence of Angle Class Ⅲ facial pattern in group B and group C was higher(P<0.05). Conclusion:Adenoid hypertrophy leads to mandibular retraction; tonsil hypertrophy leads to anterior mandibular arch; adenoid hypertrophy and tonsil hypertrophy are easy to lead to clockwise rotation of the mandible. In clinical practice, to avoid children's uncoordinated maxillofacial development, we should correct the maxillofacial situation of children as soon as possible.
