Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):85-89
Objective:
To explore the interaction between school bullying and insomnia in relation to depression-anxiety-stress emotions among primary and secondary school students,so as to provide a basis for preventing negative emotional states in adolescents.
Methods:
In October 2024, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 3 058 students in grade 5-6 of primary, junior and senior high school in Sheyang County of Jiangsu Province. The Delaware Bullying Victimization Scale, Insomnia Severity Index, Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21, and Study Condition Questionnaire were employed to investigate school bullying, insomnia, depression-anxiety-stress emotions, and academic performance. The χ 2 test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the association between school bullying and insomnia interactions and depression-anxiety-stress emotions among primary and secondary school students, multiplicative interaction analysis was conducted, and additive interaction analysis was performed using R software.
Results:
The detection rates of depression-anxiety-stress emotions among primary and secondary school students were 21.6%, 28.4% and 10.8%, respectively. The detection rates of physical bullying, relationship bullying, verbal bullying and cyberbullying in school bullying were 10.6%, 14.0%, 22.3%, and 6.2%, respectively. The detection rate for insomnia was 23.1%. Results from Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for relevant factors, physical, relational, verbal, and cyberbullying and insomnia were positively correlated with the detection rates of depression ( OR = 5.72- 10.93), anxiety ( OR =6.35-12.17), and stress emotions ( OR =5.97-14.52) among primary and secondary school students (all P <0.01). The multiplicative interaction between physical, relational, verbal, and cyberbullying and insomnia was positively correlated with the detection rates of depression ( OR =8.00-18.01), anxiety ( OR =11.35-17.76), and stress emotions ( OR =7.64-9.12) in primary and secondary school students (all P <0.01). Additive interactions were observed between physical, relational, verbal, and cyberbullying and insomnia in relation to the detection rates of depression, anxiety, and stress emotions among primary and secondary school students (both RERI and AP >0 and the credible interval excluded 0, SI >1 and the credible interval excluded 1).
Conclusion
School bullying and insomnia are associated with depression, anxiety, and stress emotions among primary and secondary school students, and they exhibit both multiplicative and additive interactions.

Pulmonary fibrosis(PF) is a progressive and life-threatening disease with limited therapeutic options, highlighting the urgent need for innovative drug discovery strategies. To address this challenge, the authors propose the formula-originated rational intelligent screening&translation(FIRST), a systematic framework for developing anti-fibrotic monomers derived from classical traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). The strategy integrates three key dimensions, including tissue-oriented intelligent screening of active compounds, structural optimization based on drug-target spatial interactions and plant biosynthetic pathways, and cross-scale validation of drug. We further highlight its applications in discovering tissue-oriented novel drugs from clinically validated TCM, the development and mechanistic elucidation of anti-fibrotic therapeutics, as well as the clinical translation and secondary development of candidate drugs. This strategy paves the way for first-in-class, formula-derived monomeric drugs with defined structures, clarified mechanisms, and proven safety, offering a transformative avenue to meet the urgent therapeutic needs of PF and setting a new paradigm for TCM-based drug innovation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the migration and distribution characteristics of chemical constituents in blood and hippocampal tissues before and after vinegar processing of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride(CRPV), and to explore the potential material basis and mechanisms underlying their regulatory effects on emotional disorders by comparing the effects of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was employed to characterize and identify the chemical constituents of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV extracts, as well as their migrating components in blood and hippocampal tissues after oral administration. Reference standards, databases, and relevant literature were utilized for compound annotation, with data processing performed using PeakView 1.2 software. Seventy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into seven groups, including the blank group, model group, diazepam group(2.5 mg·kg-1), raw CRPV low/high dose groups(0.6, 1.2 g·kg-1), and vinegar-processed CRPV low/high dose groups(0.6, 1.2 g·kg-1), with 10 mice per group. Except for the blank group, all other groups underwent chronic restraint stress(2 h·d-1) for 20 d. Each drug-treated group received oral administration at the predetermined dose starting 10 d after modeling, with a total treatment duration of 10 d. Following model-based drug administration, mice underwent open-field, forced swimming, and elevated plus maze tests. After anesthesia with isoflurane, whole brains were collected from each group of mice, and hippocampi were dissected. Reactive oxygen species(ROS) level in hippocampal tissues was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe hippocampal tissue morphology. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neuronal nuclei(NeuN) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha(PPARα) expressions in hippocampal tissue. Then, pharmacodynamic evaluations were conducted to assess the effects of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV on mood disorders, exploring the potential mechanisms. ResultsVinegar processing caused significant changes in the chemical composition of CRPV, with 18 components showing increased relative content and 35 components showing decreased relative content. The primary changes occurred in flavonoid compounds, including 20 flavonoids, 20 flavonoid glycosides, 3 triterpenes, 3 phenolic acids, 1 alkaloid, and 6 other compounds. Twenty-one components were detected in blood(15 methoxyflavones, 4 flavonoid glycosides, and 2 phenolic acids), with 17 shared between raw and vinegar-processed CRPV. Seven components reached hippocampal tissues(all common to both forms). In regulating emotional disorders, Vinegar-processed CRPV exhibited superior antidepressant-like effects compared to raw products. HE staining revealed that both treatments improved hippocampal neuronal morphology, particularly in the damaged CA1 and CA3 regions. Immunofluorescence and ELISA analyses demonstrated that both raw and vinegar-processed CRPV significantly modulated NeuN and PPARα expressions in hippocampal tissue while alleviating oxidative stress induced by excessive ROS(P<0.05). ConclusionThe chemical composition of CRPV undergoes changes after vinegar processing, but the migrating components in blood and hippocampus are primarily methoxyflavonoids. These components may serve as the potential material basis for activating the PPARα pathway, thereby negatively regulating ROS generation in the hippocampus, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting the development of NeuN-positive neurons. These findings provide experimental evidence for enhancing quality standards, pharmacodynamic material research, and active drug development of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of newly reported occupational diseases in Huangpu District, Guangzhou City, from 2010 to 2024. Methods Data on newly reported occupational diseases in Huangpu District, Guangzhou City, from 2010 to 2024 were collected from the Occupational Diseases and Health Hazard Factors Monitoring Information System, a subsystem of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The spectrum composition and distribution characteristics of diseases were analyzed by year, enterprise and industry. Results A total of 501 newly diagnosed occupational disease cases involving seven categories and 21 specific disease types were reported in Huangpu District from 2010 to 2024. The overall trend showed a pattern of rapid increase, decline after peaking, and low-level fluctuation. The top four occupational disease categories by case count were occupational pneumoconiosis and other respiratory diseases (32.53%), occupational ear, nose, and throat diseases (30.14%), occupational diseases caused by physical factors (21.96%), and occupational chemical poisoning (12.18%). The predominant specific diseases type within these four categories were occupational pneumoconiosis, occupational noise-induced deafness, occupational hand-arm vibration disease, and occupational benzene poisoning. Cases were mainly distributed in enterprises invested by Hong Kong-, Macao-, and Taiwan, in private enterprises, and in foreign-invested enterprises, accounting for 82.44% of all cases. Medium- and small-sized enterprises were predominant in terms of enterprise scale, accounting for 46.71% and 34.33%, respectively. Cases were predominantly distributed across four industries: manufacturing of railway, ship, aerospace, and other transport equipment; manufacture of articles for culture, education, arts and crafts, sport, and entertainment; manufacturing of general-purpose machinery; and manufacture of chemicals and chemical products. Collectively, these sectors accounted for 56.09% of all cases. Conclusion Future occupational health work in Huangpu District should focus on key diseases including occupational pneumoconiosis, occupational noise-induced deafness, and occupational benzene poisoning.

To systematically evaluate the impact of the "group-based " medical assistance program for Xizang, conducted by Peking Union Medical College Hospital, on the implementation outcomes of standardized residency training (SRT) at the Xizang Autonomous Region People′s Hospital, and to provide evidence-based decision-making references and policy optimization recommendations for medical education support models in border ethnic minority regions. Using Donabedian′s quality-of-care theory as the analytical framework, a systematic evaluation was conducted across three dimensions—structure, process, and outcomes. Qualitative research methods and work documentation analysis were comprehensively employed to assess the key interventions, implementation processes, and training outcomes of the "group-based " medical assistance program, centered on the core strategy of "full-time secondment and backbone downward deployment, " implemented by Peking Union Medical College Hospital during the 2025—2026 period at the Xizang Autonomous Region People′s Hospital. Through the core strategy of "full-time secondment and backbone downward deployment, " systematic safeguards for SRT institutional development were achieved, effectively promoting the standardization of teaching activities and the establishment of a multidimensional, full-coverage faculty training system. Concurrently, the establishment of a three-tier teaching supervision mechanism further consolidated the connotation and quality of the SRT program. These measures have played a positive role in enhancing the SRT system construction, improving trainees′ clinical competence, and strengthening faculty teaching capabilities at the Xizang Autonomous Region People′s Hospital. Nevertheless, future SRT implementation in the Xizang region still requires further refinement in precision management, with curriculum design and rotation scheduling more adequately tailored to local circumstances, so as to continuously promote the long-term sustainable development of SRT quality. The "group-based" medical assistance program for Xizang, underpinned by the strategy of "full-time secondment and backbone downward deployment, " has demonstrated a significant facilitating effect on improving SRT quality in the Xizang region. The experiences and outcomes derived from this program may provide a valuable research foundation and policy evidence for future medical education support initiatives in other border ethnic minority regions, including Xinjiang and Xizang.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and clinical utilization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula granules based on real-world data, and to provide evidence for their rational clinical use. MethodsA multicenter, prospective, open-label, observational centralized monitoring study was conducted. Participants who received TCM formula granules in 293 medical institutions throughout China from February 5th, 2020 to May 20th, 2025 were consecutively enrolled. The year of data collection was used as the stratification factor. Demographic characteristics (including sex, age, and concomitant medication use), information on TCM formula granule use (including mean prescribed dosage and inappropriate use), and adverse event(AE)/adverse drug reaction(ADR) occurrence and related factors were collected and statistically analyzed. ResultsA total of 42 011 participants were included in the safety set (SS), with a mean age of (38.34±22.30) years, including 18 693 males and 23 318 females. Among them, 3519 participants (8.38%) had a history of or concomitant diseases. The three most common comorbidities were hypertension (1189 cases, 33.79%), diabetes mellitus (850 cases, 24.15%), and coronary heart disease (471 cases, 13.38%). The top three diagnostic categories were respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal diseases (7008 cases, 16.68%), infectious and parasitic diseases (6591 cases, 15.69%), and gastrointestinal diseases (4580 cases, 10.90%).Among 41 961 participants with available concomitant medication data, 3332(7.94%) received concomitant medications, and western medicines were the most commonly used concomitant medications (2819 cases, 6.72%). The mean prescribed dosage of TCM formula granules (expressed as the equivalent dosage of crude herbal pieces) was (158.23±104.86) g in 2020, (131.70±65.84) g in 2021, (130.62±59.96) g in 2022, (86.74±50.61) g in 2023, (118.59±52.01) g in 2024, and (134.38±49.43) g in 2025. The five most frequently prescribed toxic herbs were Kuxingren (Semen Armeniacae Amarum, 2746 cases, 6.54%), Xixin (Radix et Rhizoma Asari, 2193 cases, 5.22%), processed Kuxingren (862 cases, 2.05%), Baiqucai (Herba Chelidonii, 747 cases, 1.78%), and Wuzhuyu (Fructus Evodiae, 645 cases, 1.54%). Prescriptions involving incompatible combinations of the "eighteen antagonisms" and the "nineteen mutual inhibitions" were most frequently observed in 2020 (54 cases, 0.503%), and then decreased markedly, remaining at zero or an extremely low level thereafter. The overall incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with TCM formula granules was 0.057% (24 cases), indicating a rare occurrence. The annual incidence was 0.028% (3 cases) in 2020, 0 in both 2021 and 2022, 0.065% (5 cases) in 2023, 0.158% (15 cases) in 2024, and 0.226% (1 case) in 2025. Among the 24 patients who experienced ADRs, 15 had inappropriate medication use.Five of the 24 patients used toxic herbs, and all five had inappropriate medication. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that no history of drug-related adverse reactions [OR=0.053, 95%CI(0.006, 0.465)] and no concomitant medication [OR=0.315, 95%CI(0.109, 0.911)] were associated with a lower risk of ADRs. ConclusionTCM formula granules are widely used in clinical practice and exhibit a favorable overall safety. Greater attention should be paid to people with a history of drug-related adverse reactions and those receiving concomitant medications to further improve medication safety.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of bioactive peptides combined with probiotics on serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with hyperuricemia (HUA), so as to provide the evidence for prevention and treatment of HUA.
Methods:
The patients with HUA aged 18 to 65 years were selected and randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The patients in the intervention group received bioactive peptides combined with probiotics for 28 days at a dose of 3 g/d, while the patients in the control group received an equal dose of placebos. Demographic information, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and blood lipid were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examination and laboratory tests. SUA levels were detected before and after 14 days and 28 days of interventions. The differences of SUA levels between the two groups were compared using generalized estimation equation.
Results:
Totally 108 patients with HUA were recruited, including 54 patients in the intervention group and 53 patients in the control group (1 dropout). Before interventions, there were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, course of HUA, exercise duration, frequency of alcohol consumption, frequency of meat broth consumption, BMI, prevalence of hypertension and prevalence of dyslipidemia between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 14 days of interventions, the SUA levels of the patients in the intervention group decreased by 3.00 μmol/L, while those in the control group increased by 7.00 μmol/L. After 28 days of interventions, the SUA levels of the patients in the intervention group and the control group decreased by 26.00 μmol/L and 16.00 μmol/L, respectively. However, there was no statistically significant interaction between the intervention time and group (both P>0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that after 28 days of interventions, the decrease in SUA levels in the patients aged 55 years and older and without hypertension in the intervention group was greater than those in the control group (both P<0.05).
Conclusions
Bioactive peptides combined with probiotics showed no significant difference in reducing SUA levels in patients with HUA compared to the control group. The effect was more significant for patients aged 55 years and older and without hypertension.

Objective:To construct a prior based on the inherent properties of PET to accurately segment the lesion areas.Methods:A network framework for PET tumor segmentation driven by geodesic priors was proposed (geodesic network for short). Specifically, partial differential equations were constructed to characterize the geodesic distances between different regions in PET images. Tumor marker points identified by CT labeling were used as the initial conditions for the equations. To enhance the contrast between areas of lung or breast tumors and normal tissues, a smooth Heaviside function was utilized to map the geodesic distances. The network framework adopted a dual-branch architecture, using geodesic priors to assist in PET image segmentation.Results:The proposed method achieved a Dice coefficient of 94.92% in lung cancer segmentation and 90.12% in breast cancer segmentation. With the addition of geodesic priors in the Unet, the Dice coefficient for breast cancer increased by 32.37% (from 42.50% to 74.87%).Conclusion:Geodesic priors can significantly improve segmentation outcomes and enhance the generalization capability of the network.
