Objective: To examine differences in depressive and anxiety symptoms between boarding and non boarding high school students and their associations with physical activity (PA) patterns, so as to provide evidence to inform adolescent mental health promotion. Methods: From October to December 2024, a convenience sample of 11 782 students aged 15-18 years was recruited from 36 schools in Nanchang, Ganzhou, and Shangrao of Jiangxi Province. Depressive and anxiety symptoms and PA were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and International Physical Activity Questionary Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Logistic regression model was used to examine associations between PA patterns, depressive and anxiety symptoms among boarding and non boarding students. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms were 45.7% and 46.4% among boarding and non boarding students, respectively; for anxiety symptoms, the corresponding rates were 43.0% and 46.7%. Boarding and non boarding students differed significantly in smoking status, screen time, sleep duration, sedentary time, daily vegetable intake, and napping ( χ 2=16.74-664.17, all P <0.01). Across PA pattern groups, the detection rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms differed significantly between boarding and non boarding students ( χ 2 depression = 23.85 , χ 2 anxiety = 22.78, both P <0.01). Adjusted for confounding factors, Logistic regression analysis of high school students showed that compared with the not meeting PA recommendations, both the concentrated and regular PA pattern were associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms [ OR (95% CI )=0.83(0.70-0.98), 0.90(0.83-0.98)]; and the concentrated pattern was also associated with lower odds of anxiety symptoms [ OR (95% CI )=0.78(0.65-0.92)], and the association of anxiety symptoms in concentrated boarding students was consistent with that of the overall group [ OR (95% CI )=0.71(0.52-0.98)] (all P <0.05). Conclusions There is a correlation of different physical activity patterns with depressive and anxiety symptoms among boarding and non boarding high school students. Schools should ensure students engage in regular physical activity and work to increase overall activity volume.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics and trends of drowning mortality among Chinese residents from 2010 to 2021, so as to provide a basis for developing targeted prevention strategies and reducing the burden of drowning deaths. Methods: Data on drowning mortality among Chinese residents from 2010 to 2021 were collected from the China Cause of Death Surveillance Dataset (2010-2021). The crude mortality was calculated and then standardized using the data from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. The characteristics of drowning mortality were analyzed by genders, regions, and ages. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was employed to assess the trend in drowning mortality. Results: From 2010 to 2021, the overall crude drowning mortality among Chinese residents was 3.53/100 000, with a standardized mortality of 3.34/100 000, both showed decreasing trends (AAPC=-2.438% and -3.739%, both P<0.05). The crude and standardized mortality were higher in males than in females (4.55/100 000 vs. 2.47/100 000, 4.43/100 000 vs. 2.16/100 000, both P<0.05). Both the crude drowning mortality (AAPC=-2.974% and -1.337%) and standardized drowning mortality (AAPC=-3.806% and -3.599%) among males and females showed decreasing trends, respectively (all P<0.05). The crude and standardized drowning mortality were higher in rural residents than in urban residents (4.13/100 000 vs. 2.35/100 000, 3.86/100 000 vs. 2.27/100 000, both P<0.05). Both the crude and standardized drowning mortality in rural residents showed decreasing trends (AAPC=-3.343% and -4.515%, both P<0.05), whereas no statistically significant trends were observed in urban residents (both P>0.05). Both the crude and standardized drowning mortality were higher in western residents than in eastern residents and central residents (4.30/100 000 vs. 2.89/100 000 and 3.66/100 000, 4.14/100 000 vs. 2.64/100 000 and 3.49/100 000, all P<0.05). The standardized mortality showed decreasing trends in eastern, central and western residents (AAPC=-3.237%, -2.344%, and -5.467%, all P<0.05). The groups aged ≥65 years and 1-<5 years experienced relatively high crude drowning mortality of 8.81/105 and 7.38/105, respectively. Decreasing trends were observed in groups aged <1 year, 1-<5 years, and 5-<15 years (AAPC=-14.126%, -11.452%, and -7.443%, all P<0.05). In contrast, no statistically significant trends were observed in the other age groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions The overall drowning mortality rate among Chinese residents showed a declining trend from 2010 to 2021. However, the risks of drowning mortality remained relatively high among males, rural residents, residents in the western region, children, and the elderly.

Objective: To explore the relationship between sleep characteristics, physical activity patterns, with depressive and anxiety symptoms in college students, so as to provide reference for student mental health promotion. Methods: From September to November 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 7 954 college students aged 18-22 years from 9 universities in Shanghai, Hubei, and Jiangxi. Assessments were conducted using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short-Form (IPAQ-SF), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate physical activity, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the impact of sleep characteristics and physical activity patterns on depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity among college students. Results: The detection rates for depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and comorbid depression and anxiety symptoms were 25.67%, 35.39%, and 23.15%, respectively. Factors such as gender, grade, household registration, parental education level, annual family income, family structure, and dietary habits were all associated with the detection rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (χ2=4.41-118.39, P<0.05). Physical activity patterns, sleep duration, sleep quality, and sleepwake characteristics were also associated with the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (χ2=9.66-627.70, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that college students who stayed up late and slept less than 7 had the highest risk of depressive and anxiety symptoms and their comorbidity (OR=1.93, 1.85, 1.88, P<0.05). Compared to regular physical activity patterns, insufficient physical activity patterns were associated with an increased risk of depressive and anxiety symptoms (all OR=1.18, P<0.05). Further stratified analysis results showed that the risk of depression, anxiety and their comorbidity increased in college students who stayed up late and slept less than 7 h, went to bed before midnight and slept less than 7 h, or went to bed before midnight and slept more than 7 h but did not have sufficient physical activity (P<0.05). Conclusions Sleep characteristics and physical activity patterns significantly affect depressive and anxiety symptoms in college students. Universities should strengthen sleep management and implement flexible physical activity interventions to help students establish healthy lifestyles.

Objective To observe the value of fetal MRI in diagnosis of duodenal obstruction(DO).Methods A total of 35 fetuses with suspected DO according to MRI were retrospectively included.The length and the maximum diameter of the dilated duodenum were measured,so as site(categorized in descending order from proximal to distal as descending segment,horizontal segment and ascending duodenum/proximal jejunum)and the degree of obstruction(complete or incomplete)were assessed.Taken findings of labor induction specimen,postnatal neonatal surgery or follow-up data as standards,the positive predictive value(PPV)of MRI for diagnosing fetal DO was calculated,while the correlations of the measured parameters of dilated duodenum and the confirmed obstruction site/degree were analyzed.Results Among 35 fetuses,DO was confirmed in 34 fetuses,yielding an overall PPV of 97.14％(34/35)for MRI.In 34 fetuses with confirmed DO,there were 23 with descending DO(DDO),4 with horizontal DO(HDO)and 7 with ascending DO/proximal jejunum obstruction(ADO/PJO),including 12 with complete DO and 22 with incomplete DO.PPV of MRI for diagnosing DDO,HDO and ADO/PJO was 87.50％(21/24),50.00％(2/4)and 100％(7/7),respectively,for diagnosing complete and incomplete DO was 90.00％(9/10)and 84.00％(21/25),respectively.Both the length and the maximum diameter of fetal proximal dilated duodenum showed on MRI were positively correlated with the actual obstruction site(from proximal to distal)(rs=0.736,P＜0.001;rs=0.424,P=0.011,respectively),but had no significant rank correlation with the degree of obstruction(rs=-0.216,P=0.212;rs=-0.285,P=0.097,respectively).Conclusion Fetal MRI could effectively evaluate the length and the maximum diameter of dilated duodenum hence indicating the level and degree of DO.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of computed tomography(CT)with three-dimensional(3D)reconstruction technique in diagnosis and selecting surgical methods for patients with pituitary tumor.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 82 elderly patients with suspected pituitary tumor at Huanggang Central Hospital between January 2021 and December 2023.All of patients underwent CT examination with 3D reconstruction technique and MRI examination.The postoperatively pathological results were used as the golden standard to compare the diagnostic results and efficiency of CT with 3D reconstruction technique and MRI for pituitary tumor.The differences of the two examination methods were compared in images quality.The clinical value of CT with 3D reconstruction technique for the selection of surgical method was further analyzed.Results:In 82 elderly patients with suspected pituitary tumor,56 cases were confirmed by postoperatively pathological examination,and 49 cases were confirmed by CT with 3D reconstruction technique,and 60 cases were confirmed by MRI.The characteristics of CT imaging were:quasi-circular or circular tumors were the majority,which had clear boundaries,and tumors grew to the side of sella turcica and around of the sella turcica,which accompanied by enlarged pituitary fossa.MRI imaging characteristics of pituitary tumors were as follows:the most of them accompanied with equal T1 and slightly high T2 signals,and there was enhancement of obvious ring,and the snowman sign.There was no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between CT with 3D reconstruction technique and MRI(P>0.05).The diagnostic specificity of CT with 3D reconstruction technique was 96.15%,which was higher than 76.92%of MRI,while its sensitivity was 85.71%,which was lower than 96.43%of MRI,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=4.413,3.953,P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the maximum transverse diameter and maximum vertical diameter of tumors between CT with 3D reconstruction technique and MRI(P>0.05).Compared with the results of CT with 3D reconstruction technique,all of 56 patients with pituitary tumor adopted resection for pituitary tumor through nasal sphenoid approach.After surgery,2 cases occurred diabetes insipidus,and 1 case occurred intracranial infection and 1 case occurred decline in olfactory function.Conclusion:Both CT with 3D reconstruction technique and MRI have higher diagnostic value for pituitary tumors in the elderly,which can display characteristics of pituitary tumors,and have direct guidance roles for the selection of surgical methods.The diagnostic specificity of CT with 3D reconstruction technique is better.

To explore the application of sequential analysis in post-market safety dynamic surveillance of vaccines. Under the dynamic monitoring data of vaccines post-market approval, this research introduces the fundamental principles of maximizing sequential probability ratio test (MaxSPRT) and Bayesian sequential analysis, employing R software. Through an example of dynamic safety monitoring data of vaccines post-market approval, we analyze using the MaxSPRT and Bayesian sequential analysis. The MaxSPRT identified a safety signal in week 4 ( P<0.05), while Bayesian sequential analysis indicated that the 95% highest density interval for the RR value at week 4 is 1.13-3.27, suggesting the first appearance of a safety signal at week 4. The MaxSPRT and Bayesian sequential analysis effectively leverage continuously accumulating dynamic monitoring data, thereby serving as a valuable method for post-market safety surveillance of vaccines.

Objective To explore the value of machine learning(ML)models based on ultrasonic texture features(TF)of coronary artery for predicting incomplete Kawasaki disease(IKD)in children.Methods Forty-eight children with IKD and 48 children without KD(non-KD)were enrolled with propensity score matching and divided into training set(n=67,34 cases of IKD and 33 cases of non-KD)and test set(n=29,14 of IKD and 15 of non-KD)at the ratio of 7∶3.Based on clinic-laboratory indicators(C-L)in training set and TF obtained with texture analysis of coronary artery ultrasound images,the optimal C-L-related features and TF were selected.Based on the optimal C-L correlated features,TF and their combinations,6 ML models,including random forest(RF),support vector machine(SVM),logistic regression(LR),gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT),decision tree(DT)and eXtreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)were respectively constructed for predicting IKD in children.The models were then trained in training set and validated in test set,and the best C-L ML,TF ML and C-L-TF ML models were selected.The area under the curve(AUC)of the best ML models were compared,and the clinical value of the best TF ML model was observed with decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Totally 3 optimal C-L related features and 8 optimal TF were selected.Among the constructed C-L ML,TF ML and C-L-TF ML models,C-L-LR model,TF-LR model and C-L-TF-SVM model were the optimal ones,with AUC in training set of 0.891,0.985 and 0.965,while in test set of 0.676,0.971 and 0.948,respectively.No significant difference of AUC was found between TF-LR model and C-L-TF-SVM model in both training set and test set(both P＞0.05),which were both greater than those of C-L-LR model(all P＜0.05).TF-LR model achieved higher clinical benefits in both training set and test set.Conclusion Ultrasound TF-LR model of coronary artery could be used to effectively predict IKD in children.

Objective:To establish a highly-sensitive method for the rapid measurement of 137Cs in seawater with an view to its preliminary application in eight coastal provinces of China. Methods:The method employed nickel potassium polyacrylonitrile (KNiFC-PAN), an organic polymer-based ion exchanged resin material, to filter and adsorb 137Cs from seawater at a rate of 60 ml/min via a peristaltic pump. The adsorption efficiency of KNiFC-PAN was determined by measuring the cesium ion concentration before and after adsorption in seawater, with the addition of stable cesium, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Three KNiFC-PAN matrix components of 137Cs standard samples were prepared for the efficiency calibration of well type high purity germanium gamma spectrometer to obtain its detection efficiency. Results:The established measuring method can complete the filtration and adsorption of 137Cs from 20 L seawater within 6-8 h, which was twice as fast as the co-precipitation method with phosphomolybdic acid-ammonium molybdate taking more than 12 h, as stipulated in the GB/T 16145-2022 standard. The cesium recovery rate was as high as 98.02%. The relative standard deviation of the efficiency calibration result for the three prepared standard samples was 1.30%, and the detection limit for 137Cs was 0.26 Bq/m 3. The activity concentrations of 137Cs in offcoast seawater in eight coastal provinces of China were detected ranging from 0.38 to 1.24 Bq/m 3. The activity concentration of 137Cs in coastal seawater of China was at the background level, while as reported in 2019 was 0.03-1.92 Bq/m 3 in the eastern Chinese seas and 1-2 Bq/m 3 in the Pacific Ocean. Conclusions:This method has high detection sensitivity and can quickly obtain the values of activity concentration of 137Cs in seawater, thus providing a rapid and feasible method for emergency monitoring of 137Cs in China.

Objective:To survey the status of radiological diagnostic equipment, protective equipment and articles, personnel allocation, and exposure frequencies in Linyi city, Shandong province, and to provide data support for rational allocation of radiological resources and radiological health management.Methods:In 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted of radiological diagnostic resources in 353 medical health institutions with radiological diagnostic equipment (excluding simple dental clinics, hereinafter referred to as radiological diagnostic institutions) in Linyi. The survey included the radiological diagnostic equipment (including 16 types of equipment in 7 categories), protective equipment and articles, the number of staff, and the exposure frequencies of X-ray diagnosis. The comparisons were conducted using rank sum test of number of peices of equipment and article and staff number in institutions at different levels in different regions.Results:In 2023, the 353 radiological diagnostic institutions in Linyi were all equipped with radiological diagnostic equipment, summing 1 180 pieces. The median value M ( P25, P75) of the number of peices of radiological diagnostic equipment possessed by each diagnostic institution was 2 (2, 3). The highest proportion of a single piece of equipment was 35.4% for digital radiography (RD) machine and 32.5% for computed tomography (CT) scanner, respectively, followed by image intensifier fluoroscopes 7.9% and flat-panel detector fluoroscopes 7.6%, while computed radiography(CR), 3 kinds of breast X-ray machines, 4 kinds of dental CT machines, and bone densitometers accounted for less than 4.0% each. A total of 223 items of protection equipment (radiation monitoring devices) were equipped, about of 47.0%. The radiological diagnostic institution was each equipped with protective articles. A total of 5 709 protective articles were provided, mainly including lead rubber neck covers, lead rubber hats, and lead rubber aprons (accounting for over 20% each). In 2023, there were a total of 2 677 staff engaged in radiological diagnosis in Linyi, with the majority being male (62.9%). The M ( P25, P75) of staff was 3 (2, 5), including 2 (1, 4) males and 1 (0, 2) females. There were level differences in radiological diagnostic equipment ( χ2=109.04, P<0.05), protective articles ( χ2=83.05, P<0.05), and the number of staff ( χ2=96.90, P<0.05), with tertiary institutions significantly higher than other levels. In 2023, there were 107.8 pieces of radiological diagnostic equipment per million population (38.2 DR units and 35.0 CT scanners per million population) and 244 radiological diagnostic staff per million population (154 males and 90 females per million population) in Linyi. The exposure frequencies of radiological diagnosis in Linyi were 543.7 examinations per thousand population, with CT diagnosis having the highest frequency (342.7 examinations per thousand population), followed by X-ray photography (157.8 examinations per thousand population) during the survey period. Conclusions:In 2023, all the radiological diagnostic institutions in Linyi are equipped with diagnostic equipment and protective articles. The number of CT, DR, breast DR units possessed by every millions of population are higher than the national and Shandong provincial average levels. The overall radiological diagnostic resources are generally good. However, the allocation of radiological diagnostic resources is unbalanced to a certain degree, which currently mainly focuses on the tertiary institutions. At the same time, the bone density meters and breast X-ray machines are insufficient, and further adjustments and optimizations are needed in the future.
