Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and their associated factors among students in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide evidence for targeted prevention strategies.
Methods:
A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 23 829 college students and primary and secondary school students aged 11-22 years in Zhejiang Province from December 2019 to February 2020. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Three machine learning algorithms, including Logistic regression, random forest, and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), were applied to construct predictive models, and key associated factors were identified by comparing model performance.
Results:
The detection rate of depressive symptoms among students in Zhejiang Province was 19.92%; the rates were 17.20% in boys and 22.87% in girls( χ 2=164.89, P <0.05). The CES-D total score was 9.00(4.00,13.00). Multiple Logistic regression analysis revealed that loneliness had the strongest association with depressive symptoms ( AOR =9.58, 95% CI =8.90-10.30), while bullying exposure ( AOR =4.39, 95% CI =4.02-4.80), female students( AOR =1.81, 95% CI =1.68-1.94),never eating breakfast ( AOR = 2.34,95% CI =2.00-2.67) and overweight/obesity( AOR =1.10,95% CI =1.08-1.12) were significant associated factors of depressive symptoms among students (all P <0.05). Analysis based on the XGBoost model produced highly consistent results, identifying the above 5 factors as the core features with the highest correlation strength (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Female, loneliness, bullying exposure, frequency of weekly breakfast and BMI are strongly associated with depressive symptoms among students. Mental health education for high risk groups should be strengthened, and coordinated prevention efforts between families and schools are recommended.

Objective To explore the method for grading the degree of uterine adhesion in a rat model.Methods A rat model of uterine adhesion was established using the double-injury method.Paraffin sections were observed using HE staining and Masson staining to compare morphological changes in the uterus,endometrial thickness,gland and vessel counts,uterine cavity area,and adhesion severity.Rat sections were classified into three grades based on uterine cavity area for comparative analysis.Results The average uterine cavity area and uterine cavity area/endometrial layer area were smaller in rats in the model group compared with the blank group(P<0.01).The uterine cavity area/endometrial layer area ratio was categorized into grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ,with a significant difference among the grades(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusions The uterine cavity area/endometrial layer area ratio may reflect the grading difference in the degree of uterine adhesion in rats with uterine adhesions.This ratio may thus be used as a grading-evaluation criterion in the rat model of uterine adhesion,with implications for diagnostic grading in this model.

Glioblastoma multiforme(GBM)is a grade 4 glioma with the highest malignancy and invasiveness in the central nervous system,accounting for approximately 30%of all tumors in the central nervous system.Due to the unclear pathogenesis of GBM,there is currently no specific target for the treatment of GBM.Temozolomide(TMZ)is the only first-line chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of GBM,but suffers from a low drug response rate and high susceptibility to drug resistance.Therefore,the development of new targets and novel GBM therapeutic agents is an urgent clinical problem.Pentraxin 3(PTX3),a member of the pentameric protein superfamily,has been shown to have a promotive effect on a variety of tumors.Increasing evidences showed that PTX3 played a crucial role in the progression of GBM.PTX3 can promote the proliferation,migration and invasion ability of GBM cells,increase the angiogenesis ability in the GBM microenvironment and malignant progression of GBM.In the article,the structure,physiological function,expression regulation,role and mechanism of PTX3 in GBM were mainly reviewed,with a view to provide guidance for PTX3 as a potential drug target for the treatment of GBM.

To evaluate the immunogenicity and immunoprotective effects of a tRNA thiouridylase TgMnmA deletion strain of Toxoplasma gondii(T.gondii)on ICR mice,we constructed a mouse model immunized with RH△MnmA.Mice were immunized with 10 RH△MnmA tachyzoites by in-traperitoneal injection.After 30 d,indirect ELISA was used to detect the specific IgG antibody and its subtypes of immunized mice.Spleen lymphocyte suspension was prepared,and the splenic lym-phocyte subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry.Moreover,the relative expression level of cyto-kine mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.After 30 d of immunization,mice were intraperitoneally inoculated with RH△ku80 tachyzoites.At 5 d post infection,the para-site load in the ascites,heart,liver and brain of mice was measured,and the survival of mice within 30 d after infection was observed and recorded.The results showed that compared with the control PBS group,RH△MnmA immunized group produced higher level of IgG and IgG2a antibodies,higher mRNA relative expression level of cytokines IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,IL-12 and IFN-γ,and the number of CD4+and CD8a+in spleen lymphocytes also increased significantly.Mean-while,for the attack of RH△ku80 strain,the immune group can effectively reduce the parasite load in the ascites and some tissues,inhibit the reproduction of parasites In vivo,and significantly improve the survival rate of mice.The results of this study showed that the TgMnmA deletion strain of T.gondii can induce strong humoral and cellular immune responses in mice,and provide good immune protection against the infection of RHΔku80 strain,which has the potential to be-come a potentially promising live attenuated vaccine candidate against T.gondii.
