Objective To quantitatively assess the association of short-term exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with residents mortality. Methods A time-stratified case-crossover study was conducted from 2020 to 2022 among 10606 non-accidental residents by using the Guangzhou Cause of Death Surveillance System in Conghua District, Guangzhou. Exposure levels of PAHs in PM_2.5 and meteorological data during the study period were obtained from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Conghua District and the China Meteorological Administration Land Data Assimilation System (CLDAS-V2.0), respectively. Conditional Poisson regression model was used to estimate the exposure-response association between PAHs and the mortality risk. Results Fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, and indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene were significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality. For every one interquartile range increase in exposure levels, the non-accidental mortality risks increased by 8.33% (95% CI: 1.80%, 15.27%), 4.67% (95% CI: 1.86%, 7.57%), 6.07% (95% CI: 2.08%, 10.21%), 4.62% (95% CI: 1.85%, 7.47%), and 4.70% (95% CI: 0.53%, 9.03%), respectively. The estimated non accidental deaths attributable to exposure to fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo[k]fluorine, benzo[a]pyrene and indine[1,2,3-cd]pyrene were 5.91%, 6.08%, 6.51%, 6.46%, and 4.21%, respectively. Conclusions Short-term exposure to PAHs in PM_2.5, including fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene and indine[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, was significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality among residents.

BACKGROUND: The mechanisms distinguishing metabolically healthy from unhealthy phenotypes within the same BMI categories remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the associations between regional fat distribution and metabolically unhealthy phenotypes in Chinese adults across different BMI categories. METHODS: This cross-sectional study involving 11833 Chinese adults aged 20 years and older. Covariance analysis, adjusted for age, compared the percentage of regional fat (trunk, leg, or arm fat divided by whole-body fat) between metabolically healthy and unhealthy participants. Trends in regional fat percentage with the number of metabolic abnormalities were assessed by the Jonckheere-Terpstra test. Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by logistic regression models. All analyses were performed separately by sex. RESULTS: In non-obese individuals, metabolically unhealthy participants exhibited higher percent trunk fat and lower percent leg fat compared to healthy participants. Additionally, percent trunk fat increased and percent leg fat decreased with the number of metabolic abnormalities. After adjustment for demographic and lifestyle factors, as well as BMI, higher percent trunk fat was associated with increased odds of being metabolically unhealthy [highest vs. lowest quartile: ORs (95%CI) of 1.64 (1.35, 2.00) for men and 2.00 (1.63, 2.46) for women]. Conversely, compared with the lowest quartile, the ORs (95%CI) of metabolically unhealthy phenotype in the highest quartile for percent arm and leg fat were 0.64 (0.53, 0.78) and 0.60 (0.49, 0.74) for men, and 0.72 (0.56, 0.93) and 0.46 (0.36, 0.59) for women, respectively. Significant interactions between BMI and percentage of trunk and leg fat were observed in both sexes, with stronger associations found in individuals with normal weight and overweight. CONCLUSIONS Trunk fat is associated with a higher risk of metabolically unhealthy phenotype, while leg and arm fat are protective factors. Regional fat distribution assessments are crucial for identifying metabolically unhealthy phenotypes, particularly in non-obese individuals.

Objective To investigate the relationship between internet addiction and SIOSS score,and to examine the mediating role of impulsivity and the moderating role of mental health level.Methods A total of 393 college students were tested with internet addiction scale,Barratt impulsiveness scale-version 11,SIOSS and symptom checklist 90 to establish a moderated mediation model.Results After adjusted for age,internet addiction tendency had a positive predictive effect on SIOSS score(β=0.523,P＜0.01).Impulsivity played a partial mediating role in the relationship between internet addiction and SIOSS score,with a mediating effect value of 0.087(45.72％).The first half of the mediating effect of internet addiction→impulsivity→SIOSS score was moderated by mental health level(β=-0.118,P＜0.001).The predictive effect of internet addiction on impulsivity was stronger in individuals with good mental health level(with the indirect effect value of 0.619 9+0.048 7)compared with the individuals with poor mental health level(with the indirect effect value of 0.439 5+0.048 5).Conclusion Internet addiction can increase SIOSS score by enhancing individual impulsivity,but this effect is more pronounced in individuals with good mental health and then affect SIOSS score.

Objective To describe and analyze the influencing factors of psychological crisis among college students with borderline personality disorder(BPD)traits.Methods Self-compiled general information questionnaire,personality assessment inventory-borderline features scale(PAI-BOR),brief version of the difficulties in emotion regulation scale(DERS-16),short version of the UPPS-P impulsive behavior scale(S-UPPS-P),patient health questionnaire-9(PHQ-9),and psychological crisis screening questionnaire were used to survey 340 college students in Shanghai selected by convenience sampling.Participants were assigned to BPD trait or non-BPD trait groups based on PAI-BOR scores.The risk of psychological crisis and influencing factors of the 2 groups were analyzed.Results A total of 323 valid questionnaires were collected.The average age of the participants was(21.39±2.98)years old,and 164 participants were male and 159 were female.The detection rate of borderline personality disorder traits was 19.20%(62/323).There were significant differences in family relationship,experiences of major changes,difficulties in emotion regulation,impulsivity and depression between the 2 groups(all P＜0.05).The detection rates of mild psychological crisis and severe psychological crisis were significantly higher in the BPD trait group than in the non-BPD trait group(both P＜0.001).Stepwise multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that sensation seeking and difficulties in emotion regulation were risk factors for mild psychological crisis in the BPD trait group(both P＜0.05),and sensation seeking and history of mental disorders in close relatives were risk factors for severe psychological crisis in the BPD trait group(both P＜0.05).Conclusion BPD traits in college students are associated with the risk of psychological crisis.Sensation seeking,difficulties in emotion regulation,and history of mental disorders in close relatives are risk factors of psychological crisis among students with BPD traits.Colleges and universities should put more emphasis on the mental health of students with BPD traits,and formulate targeted preventive measures.

ObjectiveTo develop a reliable and valid health self-management competence assessment questionnaire for primary and secondary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide an effective tool to evaluate and improve their health management competencies. MethodsBased on the theory and process of scale development, an initial item pool was formed. After two rounds of Delphi consultation with 22 experts in related fields, assessment indicators suitable for evaluating the health self-management ability of Shanghai primary and secondary school students were determined. A total of 666 students were selected using stratified cluster sampling method to carry out the survey. The questionnaire content was refined and items were screened for reliability and validity analyses. ResultsAfter the two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, the original three-dimensional structure (individual management behaviors, personal health cognition and self-management environment) was revised into four dimensions: self-health cognition, self-health skills, self-will quality and self-action level. The initial 50 items were reduced, merged, or newly created, yielding a final 30-item questionnaire. Expert response rates for the two rounds of Delphi consultation were 86.36% and 90.91%, respectively, with an expert authority coefficient of 0.91. The KMO value was 0.936 and Bartlett’s sphericity test yielded a P value of <0.001, indicating that the questionnaire demonstrated good construct validity. The results of internal consistency testing showed that the overall Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.932, and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.920. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of each dimension ranged from 0.716 to 0.884, and the split-half reliability coefficient ranged from 0.733 to 0.900. Finally, an evaluation scale with 30 items across 4 dimensions was constructed. ConclusionThe health self-management competence evaluation scale for primary and secondary school students in Shanghai demonstrates good homogeneity and high reliability. It can be used as a tool for evaluating the health self-management competency of primary and secondary school students in Shanghai and provide theoretical support for targeted health interventions.

BACKGROUND:Medium-and large-diameter polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels have been widely used in clinical practice.However,most of the products were imported from other countries.Small-diameter porous polytetrafluoroethylene vessels are easy to form thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia,resulting in an extremely low long-term patency rate,which is difficult to fulfill clinical requirements. OBJECTIVE:To review and summarize the research progress of polytetrafluoroethylene in the field of artificial blood vessels,which can provide a reference for the functional modification of small-diameter polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels and the improvement of their long-term patency rate. METHODS:The relevant articles published from October 2022 to March 2023 in CNKI,Web of Science,Wiley Online Library,SpringerLink,Science Direct and IOP Science databases were searched by the first author.The search terms in Chinese were"porous polytetrafluoroethylene,vascular graft,electrospinning,medical application,functional modification".The search terms in English were"ePTFE,porous polytetrafluoroethylene,vascular graft,electrospinning,medical application,functional modification".All the articles about the preparation and modification of polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels were retrieved. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The preparation and functional modification of porous polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels were still research hotspots and difficult problems.From the research progress in and outside China in recent years,the preparation of porous polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels mainly adopted the rapid thermal stretching method,but the preparation of polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels by electrospinning was a promising new method.By analyzing and summarizing different functional modification methods,it was found that the long-term patency rate of porous polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels had been improved.However,the functional modification of small-diameter polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessels still needed further exploration and optimization.

Objective: To investigate the association of parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control with healthy eye behavior in primary school children, so as to provide a basis for accurate family education. Methods: A total of 4 979 students in grades 1-5 from eight elementary schools in Pudong New Area were sampled between October and December in 2022 by using a stratified cluster sampling method. A self administered questionnaire was used to assess healthy eye behavior in primary school children and parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control. The Chi squared test, independent samples t-test and Logistic regression were used to analyse the association between parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control and healthy eye behaviour in primary school children. Results: Parents of primary school children with a high level of knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control were 50.97% and 56.36%, respectively. The knowlegde entry scores for parents of lower and middle elementary school students were higher than those of parents of upper primary students with respect to their understanding, on the main causes of myopia in their children, the correct knowledge of myopia prevention and control, the role of family members in helping each other to manage and treat myopia in their children and the parents responsibility to teach their children to use their eyes correctly and scientifically (3.05±1.21, 2.97±1.20; 5.92±0.68, 5.83±0.86; 4.46±0.88, 4.40±0.93; 3.88±1.04, 3.72±1.07); all differences were statistically significant (t=2.04, 3.39, 2.00, 4.87, P<0.05). The differences in the scores of parents of primary school children in different grades for all items were statistically significant (t=2.93-7.31, P<0.05) in the skill entries. Parental knowledge levels were poor for items of full scores that assessed the following: knowing the main causes of their childrens myopia, awareness of the correct knowledge of myopia prevention and control measures, awareness of Comprehensive Prevention and Control Strategy for Children and Adolescents with Myopia, and concerning that their childrens future education and employment will be affected by myopia, understanding the responsibility of parents for guiding children to use their eyes scientifically and correctly, with 12.71%, 22.90%, 19.30%, 21.83% and 22.47% respectively. Parental skills were poor for items of full scores that assessed the following:reminding their children to rest their eyes when doing homework, reading or writing, deliberately avoiding mobile phone use when spending time with their children, the number of times which taking children to the hospital for refractive screening in the past year, and giving their children extra learning tasks, with 33.26%, 15.12%, 9.00% and 5.36% respectively. Compared to parental knowledge in myopia prevention and control, parental skills had a more pronounced effect on the four dimensions of healthy eye behavior (reading and writing, screen time, outdoor activities, and sleep duration) among students in different grades (OR=1.41-3.37, P<0.05). Conclusions Parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control are still insafficient, associated with healthy eye behavior in primary school children. There is a need to strengthen accurate health education for parents on the prevention and control of myopia, to cultivate healthy eye behaviour among primary school students and reduce the incidence of myopia among them.

ObjectiveUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS） was used to identify the metabolites of harmine in rats， in order to explore the differences in distribution of metabolites in rats after single dose（40 mg·kg^-1） intragastric administration of harmine， as well to speculate the metabolic pathways. MethodSD rats were given a single dose of harmine by intragastric administration. Plasma， bile， urine and feces samples were collected after administration， and the samples were processed for determination by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. The separation was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC™ HSS T3 columu（2.1 mm×100 mm， 1.8 μm） with acetonitrile（A）-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution（B） as mobile phase for gradient elution（0-2 min， 5%A； 2-9 min， 5%-35%A； 9-9.5 min， 35%-100%A； 9.5-12 min， 100%A； 12-12.5 min， 100%-5%A； 12.5-14 min， 5%A）， the mass spectra were obtained in positive ion mode with electrospray ionization（ESI）， the scanning range was m/z 50-1 200. The metabolites of harmine were identified based on the information of the obtained compounds and the literature data， and the metabolic pathways were hypothesized. ResultA total of 42 compounds（harmine and its metabolites） were identified in rats， including 27 in plasma， 17 in bile， 26 in urine and 13 in feces. The metabolic pathways involved in these 42 metabolites included monohydroxylation， dihydroxylation， demethylation， glucuronidation and sulfation. ConclusionHarmine can undergo phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolic reactions in rats， and the prototype drug is metabolized rapidly in vivo， and the metabolites are mainly excreted by the kidneys， which can provide a reference basis for the pharmacodynamics and material basis of harmine.
