OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the standardized production of Sojae semen praeparatum (SSP). METH-ODS:SSP samples from Heilongjiang,Hebei,Gansu,Shandong,Anhui and Yunnan were respectively collected. The fermentive bacteria were cultured with the selective medium contained artemisiae annuae herba and mori folium. Foline-phenol method,fibrous protein plate method and p-nitrophenol-β-D-glucoside colorimetric method were respectively conducted to determine the activities of protease,plasmin and β-glucosidase of the strains to screen dominant fermentive bacteria. RESULTS:Totally 14 wild strains were separated from SSP samples from 6 production places, including 3 strains of bacteria and 11 strains of molds. 1 strain of rod-shaped bacteria and 1 strain of Mucor sp. were separated from SSP from Heilongjiang;2 strains of Mucor sp. and 1 strain of rod-shaped bacteria were separated from SSP from Hebei;1 strain of Mucor sp.,1 strain of Penicillium sp.,1 strain of Streptococ-cus sp. and 1 strain of Aspergillus sp. were separated from SSP from Gansu;2 strains of Mucor sp. were separated from SSP from Shandong;1 strain of Mucor sp. and 1 strain of Aspergillus sp. were separated from SSP from Anhui;and only 1 strain of Mucor sp. was separated from SSP from Yunnan. According to the strains category and enzyme activities,No.1 bacillus,No.9 Aspergillus sp.,No.11 and No.14 Mucor sp. were preliminary authenticated as dominant fermentation microorganism,total enzyme activities of the 4 strains were 22.77,25.49,41.32,39.13 U/g respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The fermentive bacteria of SSP from different pro-duction places were different,and the dominant one can be screened preliminary through enzyme activity analysis.

Objective:
To understand social anxiety of Tibetan adolescents aged 10-15 years old in high altitude areas and its correlation with sleep duration, so as to provide a reference and support for social anxiety prevention and mental health interventions for Tibetan adolescents in high altitude areas.
Methods:
A total of 2 426 Tibetan adolescents from the Lhasa, Chamdo, and Nagchu regions of Tibet were surveyed. From April to June 2022, basic demographics, social anxiety, and sleep status were obtained and analyzed using class based, stratified whole group sampling, and the correlations detected between the two were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.
Results:
The average social anxiety score of Tibetan adolescents aged 10-15 years in high altitude areas was (6.51±4.32), and the detection rate of social anxiety was 5.23%. The mean sleep duration was (7.42±1.18) hours/day. The differences were statistically significant when compared across gender, overweight/obesity status, level of physically activity, and sleep duration ( χ 2=19.44, 14.39, 7.83, 7.21, P <0.05). After adjusting for relevant variables, the Logistic regression analysis showed that sleep deprivation among boys ( OR =2.91, 95% CI =1.82-4.61), sleep deprivation among girls ( OR = 3.51 , 95% CI =2.01-6.04), and overall sleep deprivation among Tibetan adolescents ( OR =3.12, 95% CI =1.91-4.58) were positively associated with social anxiety( P <0.01).
Conclusions
A positive association was found between social anxiety and sleep deprivation, indicating that social anxiety is an issue among Tibetan adolescents living in high altitude regions. Sufficient sleep duration plays a positive protective role in reducing social anxiety among Tibetan adolescents in high altitude areas, and the findings provide a reference for future mental health interventions.
