Objective: To investigate factors associated with life satisfaction among adolescents who have been relocated for poverty alleviation,so as to provide scientific evidence to support adolescent physical and mental well being. Methods: A multi stage stratified random sampling was conducted from June to August 2023 across 24 relocation sites in 8 counties of 4 cities in Shanxi Province. A total of 631 adolescents aged 10-19 were surveyed regarding personal characteristics, family environment, health behaviors, mental health, and social capital. Univariate analysis of variance and binary Logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors. Results: The life satisfaction rate of the relocated adolescents was 63.9%(403/631), and the average score of life satisfaction was (23.21±6.28). The Logistic regression analysis showed that, significant factors affecting life satisfaction of the relocated adolescents included age (17-19 years old: AOR= 0.54 , 95%CI =0.33-0.88), subjective family economic status (moderate: AOR=1.70, 95%CI =1.04-2.76; good: AOR=6.95, 95%CI =1.85-26.16), sleep quality (good: AOR=1.61, 95%CI =1.09-2.38), depression ( AOR=0.94, 95%CI =0.90-0.99), and social capital ( AOR=1.17, 95%CI =1.10-1.23)( P <0.05). Conclusions The satisfaction of 17-19 year old adolescents who have relocated for poverty alleviation is relatively low, while those with better family economic status, high sleep quality, low depression level and rich social capital showed high life satisfaction. Targeted interventions by families, communities, schools, and social institutions are recommended to improve adolescents quality of life.

Objective: To explore the assocation of the family environment and depressive symptoms among primary and middle school students, so as to provide suggestions for further maximizing the utility of family environment in the growth of primary and secondary school students, as well as prevention and intervention of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents. Methods: From June to July 2024, through a multistage cluster random sampling method, 8 800 primary and middle school students aged 10 to 18 from 36 schools in 3 cities (Datong, Lvliang, Linfen) in Shanxi Province. A self designed questionnaire was used to conduct a family environment survey, including family socioeconomic conditions, family structure, family parenting behavior, family member health behavior, etc; and the depression symptoms of primary and secondary school students were investigated by Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The χ 2 test and binary Logistic regression to method were used to analyze the association of the family environment with depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students, and to analyze gender and urban-rural heterogeneity in this association. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among primary and middle school students was 46.7% ( n = 4 111 ). Among them, the detection rates of depressive symptoms for male and female students were 45.7% and 47.7% respectively, and the detection rates for rural and urban students were 48.0% and 44.9% respectively. The results of binary Logistic regression model showed that in the family environment, factors such as the father s education level (junior high school: OR =0.84), self assessed family socio economic status (average: OR =0.78, good: OR =0.80), parental support and understanding (yes: OR = 0.55 ), family atmosphere (harmonious: OR =0.66), living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.31, living with parents and grandparents: OR =1.19), and family rearing style (combining punishment and reward: OR =1.42, punishment only: OR =1.25) were related to depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students in Shanxi Province ( P <0.05). From the perspective of gender heterogeneity, the living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.67, others: OR =1.67) had a statistically significant association with depressive symptoms in male students ( P <0.05). From the perspective of urban rural heterogeneity, the living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.38) had a statistically significant association with depressive symptoms in rural primary and middle school students ( P <0.05). Conclusions The family environment has an important impact on depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students. Family functioning should be fully exerted to prevent depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students.

L-Homoserine is a non-essential amino acid that is often used as an important platform compound and additive in industrial production. To improve the production efficiency, a previously constructed L-homoserine producing strain E. coli H0-0 was used as a chassis for further metabolic modification. Firstly, the ppc and pyccgP458S genes were overexpressed to optimize the Kreb's cycle. Subsequently, thrAC1034T and lysCcgC932T were overexpressed to improve the product synthesis, followed by inactivation of iclR gene to reduce the accumulation of by-products. The introduction of three sucrose metabolism genes, scrA, scrB and scrK, enabled E. coli to ferment sucrose. The titer of L-homoserine increased from 3.2 g/L to 11.1 g/L.
