Objective: To explore the association between executive function and emotional and behavioral problems in first-grade elementary school students, so as to provide a reference for promoting children s mental health. Methods: From March to May 2024, 423 first-grade elementary school students from 6 primary schools aged 6-7 were selected by using stratified cluster random sampling in Shanxi, Shanghai, Shandong, Guangxi, Xinjiang, and Jiangxi. Data were collected by using the Executive Function Assessment Scale and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. An independent samples t-test was used to analyze differences in executive function of different genders and differences in emotional and behavioral problems among first-grade school students with varying executive function levels; a linear regression model was employed to analyze the association between children s executive function and emotional and behavioral problems. Results: A total of 42 first-grade elementary school students (9.9%) were identified as having executive function deficits. Students in the executive function deficit group scored higher on internalizing behavior (7.50±0.52), externalizing behavior (11.26±0.52), and total difficulties (18.52± 0.93 ) were significantly higher than those of children without deficits (4.37±0.14, 6.69±0.17, 10.64±0.27) ( t =5.79, 8.50, 9.23, all P <0.05). Results of linear regression analysis showed that, after controlling for relevant covariates such as gender, age, family economic status, being an only child, and body mass index, the factor scores, dimensional scores, and total scores of executive function were all positively correlated with scores for externalizing problems, internalizing problems, and total difficulties ( β =0.07-0.32, all P <0.05). Conclusions Children s executive function is closely associated with emotional and behavioral problems, and those with poorer executive function exhibit more pronounced emotional and behavioral problems. Improving children s executive function may help promote their mental health.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between night-time noise exposure and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide evidence to support strategies for promoting their physical and mental health. Methods: From September 2024 to December 2025, 2 900 junior and senior high school students were selected using stratified cluster random sampling in the three cities of Nanning, Lhasa, and Yanji. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to assess depressive symptoms in junior and senior high school students, and a noise exposure survey was conducted. Chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students with different types of night-time noise exposure, and Logistic regression models were employed to examine the association between night-time noise exposure and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students without night-time noise exposure was 33.0%, while that among junior and senior high school students with night-time noise exposure was 49.0%; the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2= 45.85 , P <0.01) . After adjusting for gender, age and region, Logistic regression analysis showed that exposure to night-time traffic noise, neighborhood noise, air conditioner noise, and other types of noise showed increased risk of detecting depressive symptoms in junior and senior high school students ( OR =2.22, 1.84, 2.41, 2.17, all P <0.05). Conclusion Night-time noise exposure is associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students.

Abstract Children s emotional and behavioral problems are characterized by a relatively high incidence, concealed manifestations, and a potential correlation with an increased risk of subsequent mental disorders. These problems have a sustained impact on children s social-emotional development, learning adaptation, and peer relationships. The study reviews the main influencing factors and their mechanisms of action regarding children s emotional and behavioral problems from three levels:individual, family, and social. Under a multi-level integrated perspective, it deepens the understanding of these mechanisms and proposes that future efforts should focus on factors such as improving physical fitness, enhancing sleep, and reducing sedentary behavior. Furthermore, it suggests strengthening collaborative interventions among schools, families, and communities to promote the early prevention of childrens emotional and behavioral problems and support their healthy development.

To analyze all-cause mortality among hepatitis C cases aged ≥18 years in Yuxi City from 2005 to 2023 and explore the interactions of factors influencing survival time. Baseline and follow-up data for hepatitis C cases reported during this period were extracted from the Chinese National Notifiable Disease Reporting System. Survival time and related factors were assessed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Kaplan-Meier cumulative mortality risk curves were generated for treated and untreated hepatitis C cases, and interactions among subgroups of various influencing factors were examined. A total of 5 110 hepatitis C cases aged ≥18 years were reported from 2005 to 2023, encompassing 35 349.25 person-years of observation with the follow-up time duration M ( Q1, Q3) was 6.17 (2.33, 11.08) person-years. There were 763 all-cause deaths, corresponding to a mortality density of 2.16 per 100 person-years. Survival analysis showed a statistically significant difference in cumulative mortality between the treated and untreated groups (Log-rank χ2=122.033, P<0.001), with a lower risk of death observed among treated patients. Additive model analysis showed that there was a synergistic interaction between treatment status and age group, with relative excess of interaction, attributable proportions of interaction, and synergy index of 6.16 (95 %CI: 2.70-9.61), 1.83 (95 %CI: 1.46-2.30), and 0.42 (95 %CI: 0.31-0.53), respectively; and between treatment status and gender. There was a synergistic interaction between treatment status and sex, with relative excess of interaction, attributable proportions of interaction, and synergy index of 2.63 (95 %CI: 1.14-4.13), 1.56 (95 %CI: 1.19-2.06), and 0.32 (95 %CI: 0.17-0.46), respectively. The cause of death composition were 38.53% (249 cases) attributed to hepatitis C-related causes.The leading non-hepatitis C-related causes of death were cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases, malignancies, drug overdose, and injuries. In conclusion, hepatitis C cases ≥18 years of age in Yuxi City had a lower cumulative mortality rate when treated than when untreated. Treatment status interacted with age and gender on patient survival, respectively. Changes in patients with concomitant cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases and malignancies should be focused.

At present,malignant tumor diseases occur frequently and increase year by year.Traditional chemoradiotherapy methods are expensive,have serious toxic and side effects,and are easy to reduce patient tolerance.Natural medicines have advantages of multiple targets,high selectivity and low toxicity and side effects in process of anti-tumor,and are one of important sources of anti-tumor drugs.As a polypeptide substance,lactoferrin has a strong anti-tumor effect and plays a huge role in field of nano-drug delivery.Receptors of lactoferrin are widely expressed on surface of various cancer cells.In addition to its strong anti-tumor effect,it is also widely used to modify nanocarriers.In this paper,anti-tumor mechanism of lactoferrin is reviewed,and the latest research progress of using lactoferrin as an anti-cancer drug delivery carrier is also introduced.

Objective To explore the risk factors for nocturnal hypoxemia in patients with ob-structive sleep apnea(OSA)and construct an assessment model.Methods A total of 303 patients with OSA diagnosed by polysomnography(PSG)were selected as research objects.Based on PSG re-sults,they were divided into case group(171 patients with hypoxemia)and control group(132 pa-tients without hypoxemia).Materials were compared between the two groups;multivariable Logistic re-gression analysis was used to screen risk factors for nocturnal hypoxemia in OSA patients and construct a risk assessment model.Value of the model was evaluated by the area under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and K-fold cross-validation.Results The case group had significantly higher values in age,body mass index(BMI),neck circumference,proportion of smokers,hemoglobin,red cell distribution width(RDW),apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),the longest apnea duration(LAD),snoring index,and percentage of apnea-hypopnea duration to total sleep time(AHT％)when compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that high BMI,high RDW,long LAD,and high AHT％were risk factors for nocturnal hypoxemia in OSA patients(P＜0.05).AUC value(0.952)of the ROC curve of the assessment model constructed based on these factors was higher than the AUC values of BMI(0.833),RDW(0.780),LAD(0.866),and AHT％(0.898)alone.One hundred times of 10-fold cross-validation demonstrated that the assessment model had good generalization ability.Conclusion Nocturnal hypoxemia in OSA patients is associated with high BMI,high RDW,long LAD,and high AHT％.The model constructed based on these factors plays an important role in evaluating nocturnal hypoxemia in OSA patients.

Objective To investigate the situation of HIV infection and epidemiological characteristics among voluntary blood donors and pre-transfusion patients in Yuxi prefecture between 2010 and 2021.Methods Da-te collected with the HIV/AIDS Case Reporting Cards and original record of blood station,HIV antibody positive rate,the demographic characteristics,and epidemiological data of blood donors and pre-transfusion patients,were analyzed accordingly,the related date were statistically analyzed.Results The HIV antibody positive ratio were 5.56? and 2.01? among pre-transfusion patients and voluntary blood donors(P<0.001),showing an downward trend year after year.The HIV-positive detection rate among blood donors aged<25 years was significantly higher at 3.72‰ compared to 1.60‰ for those aged≥25 years(P=0.003).Among HIV-positive blood recipients,the proportion of individuals aged 15-24 years(34.62%)was markedly higher than that among blood donors(1.96%),whereas no donors were aged≥50 years compared to 23.53%of recipients(P<0.001).Farmers showed a significantly higher HIV detection rate(3.18‰)than students(2.66‰)and other occupations(1.60‰)(P=0.041).Similarly,individuals with high school education or below showed a higher detection rate(2.52‰)than those with high school education or above(1.45‰)(P=0.045).Among HIV-positive cases,blood donors had a higher proportion of HIV-infected individuals(84.62%)versus AIDS cases(15.38%),whereas the recipients showed the opposite trend:41.18%HIV-infected versus 58.82%AIDS cases(P<0.001).Conclusion In recent years,the HIV positive detection rate in Yuxi area has shown a downward trend,but the occurrence of HIV in Yuxi area is characterized by youthfulness and low education.Among them,HIV infected individuals through same-sex contact account for an important reason for HIV infection.

Objective: To explore the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function in Chinese adolescents, so as to provide a reference for promoting the overall development of Chinese adolescents physical and mental health. Methods: From September to December 2022, a total of 5 018 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years from Shanghai, Suzhou, Taiyuan, Wuyuan, Xingyi, and Urumqi were selected by stratified cluster sampling method to assess cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function. Pearson s correlation and linear hierarchical regression were performed to analyze the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and executive functions. Results: Among the sample of adolescents, maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) was negatively correlated with the refreshing(1-back, 2-back) and conversion executive function responses ( r=-0.07, -0.12, -0.12, P <0.01). Linear regression analysis showed that VO 2max was negatively correlated with the reaction times of the refreshing(1-back, 2-back) and conversion functions ( B=-2.99, -6.44, -1.69, P <0.01). Conclusions Higher cardiorespiratory fitness among adolescents is associated with better performance in executive function. Teenagers should strengthen high intensity cardiopulmonary endurance exercise to promote the improvement of executive function.
