Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(9):1232-1236
Objective:
To explore the association between mental health and muscle strength among Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18, providing a theoretical foundation and intervention strategies for mental health promotion.
Methods:
Data were obtained from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health, including 98 631 Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18. Psychological distress was assessed by using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and mental well being was measured with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (WEMWBS). Based on the gender and age specific Z scores of various test items [grip strength, standing long jump, pull ups (for males), and sit ups (for females)], muscle strength index (MSI) was constructed to evaluate the comprehensive level of muscle strength in adolescents. According to the Dual factor Model (DFM) of mental health, participants were categorized into four groups:troubled, symptomatic but content, vulnerable, and complete mental health. Gender differences were analyzed by using Chi-square tests, trends were tested with Cochran-Armitage tests, and multinomial Logistic regression models were applied to assess associations between muscle strength and mental health among adolescents.
Results:
In 2019, 37.4% of Chinese adolescents aged 13-18 were reported of high mental distress, and 59.9% were reported of low mental well being. Boys had significantly lower rates of high mental distress (35.3%) and low mental well being (55.6%) compared to girls (39.4%, 64.3%), and the differences were of statistical significance ( χ 2=176.13, 780.42, both P <0.05). In 2019, the rate of complete mental health among adolescents showed a downward trend with increasing age ( χ 2 trend = 258.47) and a gradual upward trend with increasing muscle strength levels ( χ 2 trend =123.14),and both boys and girls exhibited similar trends ( χ 2 trend =103.83, 168.46; 57.00 , 67.34) (all P <0.05). The results of the unordered multiclass Logistic regression model showed that after controlling for confounding factors such as age and gender, when the completely pathological group as a reference, for every 1 unit increase in MSI in adolescents, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 29% ( OR = 1.29); for every unit increase in the Z-score for pull ups, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 6% ( OR =1.06) among boys; for every 1 unit increase in sit up Z score, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 19% ( OR =1.19) among girls (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
The mental health status of Chinese adolescents is not good enough. Muscle strength is positively associated with mental health.

Objective:To investigate the effects of the Epley and Semont procedures with varying lateral angles of the head on posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PC-BPPV). Methods:A total of 115 patients with unilateral PC-BPPV were randomly divided into five groups: Epley group, Semont group, Semont+10° group, Semont+20° group, and Semont+30° group, with 23 patients in each group. Corresponding reduction treatments were performed. Results:The total effective rates for the Epley group, Semont group, Semont+10° group, Semont+20° group, and Semont+30° group were 95.7% (22/23), 4.3% (1/23), 30.4% (7/23), 52.2% (12/23), and 87.0% (20/23) respectively. The inefficiencies were 4.3% (1/23), 95.7% (22/23), 69.6% (16/23), 47.8% (11/23), and 13.0% (3/23). Statistically significant differences were observed in the total effective rates among the five groups (χ²=54.11, P<0.01). The total effective rates in the Semont group, Semont+10° group, and Semont+20° group were significantly different from that of the Epley group (P<0.01), while no statistically significant difference was found between the Semont+30° group and the Epley group (P= 0.608>0.012 5). Conclusion:Among the four Semont methods with different lateral lying angles, the total effective rate of reduction treatment increased with the elevation of the lateral lying angle on the affected side. The efficacy of the Semont+30° group in treating PC-BPPV was not significantly different from the Epley group's reduction effect, which was markedly superior to that of the other four Semont methods at different angles. Therefore, the Semont+30° reduction technique is recommended for the treatment of PC-BPPV.

Objective:To explore the correlation between color Doppler ultrasound, Cyfra21-1, Fer and malignant ovarian lesions and the value of combined model identification.Methods:A total of 108 patients with suspected ovarian cancer admitted to our hospital from Jan. 2021 to Dec. 2023 were selected as subjects. All patients were tested by color Doppler ultrasound, Cyfra21-1 and Fer, and were divided into malignant group (61 cases) and benign group (47 cases) according to the pathological test results. The baseline data, ultrasound parameters, Cyfra21-1 and Fer levels of the two groups were compared, and multivariate regression analysis was performed to establish a multi-factor combined model, and ROC curve was used to evaluate the differential efficacy of the combined model.Results:There was no significant difference in baseline data such as age and course of disease between the two groups ( P>0.05). In the malignant group, the lesion diameter was (7.66±1.24) cm, with solid echo detection in 37 cases and inner wall with nipple detection in 38 cases. In the benign group, the lesion diameter was (5.14±1.03) cm, with solid echo detection in 18 cases and inner wall with nipple detection in 17 cases. In the malignant group, PS was (22.94±4.61) cm/s, EDV was (15.67±3.42) cm/s, VM was (12.43±3.15) cm/s. PS, EDV and VM in benign group were (15.63±4.24) cm/s, (8.95±3.04) cm/s and (17.08±4.21) cm/s respectively, and those in malignant group were higher than those in benign group ( P<0.05). RI in the malignant group was 0.35±0.06, RI in the benign group was 0.58±0.13, and RI in the malignant group was lower than that in the benign group ( P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that lesion diameter, solid echo, inner wall with papilla, PS, EDV, VM, Cyfra21-1, Fer and RI were all independent risk factors for ovarian malignant lesions, and lesion diameter, solid echo, inner wall with papilla, PS, EDV, VM, Cyfra21-1 and Fer were positively correlated with ovarian malignant lesions. RI was negatively correlated with ovarian malignant lesions ( P<0.05). ROC curve results showed that the diagnostic efficiency of the combined model was higher than that of the single use of Doppler ultrasound, Cyfra21-1 and Fer. Conclusion:The combined diagnosis model of color Doppler ultrasound, Cyfra21-1 and Fer is helpful to improve the diagnostic efficiency of ovarian malignant lesions.

Objective:To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative diagnostic value of transvaginal contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for benign and malignant adnexal masses.Methods:Forty-nine patients with adnexal masses detected by routine ultrasound examination at Wenzhou People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were included in this study. Initially, transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound, two-dimensional ultrasound integrated with color Doppler, and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were used to accurately classify the masses as benign or malignant. Using postoperative pathology as the gold standard, the qualitative diagnostic accuracy of various detection methods was compared. Subsequently, the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to assess the quantitative diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal contrast-enhanced ultrasonography-related parameters in distinguishing between benign and malignant adnexal masses.Results:Among the 49 patients, 10 were diagnosed with malignant tumors. The diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was 93.88% (46/49), with a sensitivity of 90.00% (9/10), a specificity of 94.87% (37/39), a positive predictive value of 81.82% (9/11), and a negative predictive value of 97.37% (37/38). The results of the diagnostic difference assessment (McNemar test) revealed that there was no significant difference between two-dimensional ultrasound ( χ2 = 0.37, P = 0.546), two-dimensional ultrasound combined with color Doppler ( χ2 = 0.17, P = 0.683), and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography ( χ2 = 0.00, P = 1.000), and the gold standard test results. The consistency assessment (Kappa test) revealed that the diagnostic results of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography exhibited the highest concordance with the gold standard, with a Kappa value of 0.82 ( P < 0.001). Furthermore, the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the initial increase time, peak intensity, and mean transit time in contrast-enhanced ultrasonography demonstrated high quantitative diagnostic accuracy. The areas under the curve were 0.83, 0.82, and 0.84, respectively, and the diagnostic cutoff values were 17.30 s, 21.65 dB, and 92.60 seconds, respectively. Conclusion:Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography exhibits diagnostic value in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant adnexal masses, both qualitatively and quantitatively. This method can provide valuable insights for further treatment.

Objective:To investigate the situation of continuing medical education (CME) among obstetricians and gynecologists from Beijing's general hospitals at the secondary level or above in 2018 and 2023, and to provide a reference for standardizing CME for obstetricians and gynecologists in the future.Methods:We performed questionnaire surveys and interviews with 164 obstetricians and gynecologists in Beijing to investigate the status of completion of CME, the reasons for incompletion, the preferred modes to complete CME, and the preferred contents and forms of CME. SPSS 26.0 software was used for data analysis. The rate was compared using the chi-squared test.Results:Due to the impact of coronavirus disease 2019, the 2023 survey showed that 79 (48.17%) participants completed CME in an online mode, and 76 (46.34%) participants completed CME in an mostly online mode, with a significantly increased degree of satisfaction with CME compared with the 2018 survey ( P<0.05); 49 (29.88%) participants believe that online education is superior to traditional CME, and 69 (42.07%) participants believe that online education is comparable to traditional CME. The main advantages of the online education mode are flexible time and location and cost savings. "Hoping to improve my professional level" is the main purpose to participate in CME in both 2018 and 2023 surveys [124 (75.61%) vs. 127 (77.44%)]. "Professional skills and techniques" and "New advances in the specialty" are the contents of most interest. Conclusions:Obstetricians and gynecologists should raise the awareness to participant in CME. Relevant departments should establish a standardized system and an effective supervision and management mechanism, and take flexible education modes with the use of the Internet. Online education can achieve similar teaching effects and also improve learners' satisfaction.

Objective We investigated the effects of ICAM5 in the hippocampus on the alcohol drinking preference of mice,and the potential mechanisms.Methods An alcohol two-bottle choice model was developed in 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice,which were randomly divided to two groups:water group and alcohol group.The protein expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus,amygdala,and medial prefrontal cortex was detected.An ICAM5-overexpressing adeno-associated virus was constructed and injected into the hippocampus by stereotaxic method.The expression level of ICAM5 protein in the hippocampus was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot.We then detected the alcohol preference and locomotor activity of mice with a conditioned place preference(CPP)experiment,open field test,and loss-of-righting reflex test.Western blot analysis was used to identify the neuron F-actin/G-actin ratio.Using Golgi staining,the morphology of dendritic spines was identified.Results The expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus of alcohol two-bottle choice model mice in the alcohol group was considerably lower than that of the water group(P<0.001).The specific expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus of mice was observed by fluorescence microscopy.In the open field experiment,the staying time and moving distance of the AAV-ICAM5 group were significantly increased compared with those of the control group(P<0.01).In the CPP experiment,the residence time of AAV-ICAM5 mice in the alcohol-paired compartment was significantly lower than that of control mice(P<0.001).In the loss-of-righting reflex experiment,overexpression of ICAM5 significantly reduced sedation latency(P<0.01),but significantly shortened the duration of sedation(P<0.001).Compared with AAV-mCherry+Water group,the ratio of F-actin/G-actin in the hippocampus was significantly increased after drinking(P<0.01),but after ICAM5 overexpression,their F-actin/G-actin ratio was significantly decreased(P<0.001).Compared with AAV-mCherry+Water group,the density of dendritic spines in the hippocampal CAI region was increased(P<0.001),but the density of dendritic spines in the AAV-ICAM5+Alcohol group was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusions ICAM5 modulated the expression of cytoskeleton proteins to change the structural plasticity of dendritic spines,which contributed to alcohol-drinking and locomotor behavioral changes in mice.
