Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(3):398-402
Objective:
To explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health risk behaviors (HRBs) among college students and the mediating role of psychological symptoms, so as to provide a basis for developing intervention strategies.
Methods:
From March to April 2023, a convenience cluster sample of 1 801 students from 12 universities in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, Wuzhou of Guangxi completed an online survey. A self designed questionnaire, Adverse Childhood Experiences-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were used for evaluation tools. Binary Logistic regression, structural equation modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap methods were used to analyze the associations and mediating effects.
Results:
Overall, 71.2% of college students experienced at least one type of ACE, with emotional neglect (40.3%) and emotional abuse ( 25.2 %) having the highest detection rates. The top three HRBs were unhealthy diet (77.8%), physical inactivity (54.1%), and smoking/alcohol use (18.5%). Logistic regression showed that poor family functioning, abuse, and extra familial violence were each associated with an increased risk of smoking/alcohol use ( OR =1.14, 1.11, 1.18) and deliberate self harm ( OR =1.26, 1.19,1.30) (all P <0.05). Experience of abuse increased the risk of high risk sexual behavior and family dysfunction increaded the risk of physical inactivity, respectively ( OR = 1.07 , 1.04, both P <0.05). Mediation analysis revealed that anxiety ( β =0.20) and depression ( β = 0.09 ) partially mediated the pathway from poor family functioning to deliberate self harm; paranoia ( β =0.02) partially mediated the pathway from abuse to high risk sexual behavior; and obsessive-compulsive symptoms ( β =0.26) and depression ( β =0.10) partially mediated the pathway from extra familial violence to deliberate self harm (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Psychological symptoms play a mediating role in the association between ACEs and HRBs, and mental health interventions may reduce the risk of HRBs among college students.

Objective:
To investigate the association between sleep duration and depressive symptoms in children and adolescents, so as to provide scientific evidence for promoting mental health and preventing depression among relevant populations.
Methods:
A total of 2 192 children and adolescents aged 10-17 years with complete data from the 2018 China Family Panel Studies Database were included. Eight item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depressive Scale(CES-D8) was used to assess participants depressive levels, and sleep duration was assessed via questionnaire. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between different sleep duration categories and depressive symptom occurrence among children and adolescents. A restricted cubic spline(RCS) model analyzed the dose response relationship between sleep duration and the risk of depressive symptoms occurrence and segmented Logistic regression models to identify dose response effects.
Results:
Among the surveyed children and adolescents, 524(23.91%) exhibited depressive symptoms. Compared to those with sufficient sleep, children aged 10-12 years had a higher risk of depressive symptoms on average per day( OR =1.66, 95% CI =1.19-2.33) and during weekdays( OR =1.76, 95% CI =1.26-2.46), as well as in adolescents aged 13-17 years on a daily basis( OR =1.40,95% CI =1.06-1.85) and during weekdays( OR = 1.48,95% CI =1.12-1.95), and excessive sleep in adolescents on rest days was also significantly associated with higher risk of depressive symptoms( OR =1.65,95% CI =1.11-2.43)(all P <0.05). RCS analysis results indicate that children s sleep duration exhibits a linear negative correlation with the risk of depressive symptoms(all P nonlinear >0.05), while adolescents sleep duration showed a U shaped association with depressive symptoms(all P nonlinear <0.05) on a daily basis, during weekdays and weekends, with potential threshold effects at 10.00, 9.88, and 9.60 hours, respectively.
Conclusions
Sleep duration among children and adolescents is associated with depressive symptoms, with notable age related differeneces. It is recommended to develop targeted age specific interventions to reduce the risk of depressive symptoms in children and adolescents.

Objective:
To investigate the association between metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and bone mineral density among children and adolescents, so as to provide evidence for the early prevention and intervention of bone health in this population.
Methods:
In September 2022, a method combining convenience sampling with cluster sampling was used to select 5 089 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years in 9 schools from kindergarten to senior high school in Tongzhou District, Beijing, for physical measurements, ultrasound measurements, blood biochemical index testing, and questionnaire surveys. Participants were categorized into three groups: the normal control group ( n =1 515), the metabolic abnormality group (MA, n = 3 007 ), and the MASLD group ( n =567). Multivariable linear regression model was applied to examine the association between MASLD and bone speed of sound (SOS), while multivariable Logistic regression model was used to assess the association between MASLD and low bone mineral density. Subgroup analysis was conducted by sex and age groups.
Results:
Compared with the normal control group, the MASLD group showed significantly lower SOS values ( β =-6.31, 95% CI =-9.63 to -2.99), lower SOS Z scores ( β = -0.21, 95% CI =-0.32 to -0.10), and higher susceptibility to low bone mineral density( OR =1.56, 95% CI =1.25-1.96)(all P <0.05). No significant differences in SOS or odds of low bone density were observed between the MA and normal control groups (all P > 0.05). In sex stratified analyses, males with MASLD exhibited significantly lower SOS Z scores ( β =-0.35, 95% CI =-0.49 to -0.20 , P <0.05), whereas no significant difference was observed in females with MASLD ( β =-0.03, 95% CI =-0.21-0.15; P >0.05). When hepatic steatosis grade (0, 1, 2, and 3) was treated as a continuous variable, each one grade increase was associated with a 31% higher odds of low bone mineral density ( OR =1.31, 95% CI =1.13 to 1.53, P <0.05).
Conclusions
MASLD is significantly associated with low bone mineral density among children and adolescents, with a stronger association in males. Moreover, children and adolescents with hepatic steatosis have a higher risk of impaired bone health compared with those with metabolic abnormalities alone.

Objective:
To investigate the association of the joint effect of body fat levels and dyslipidemia with cardiovascular structural abnormalities in children, so as to provide a scientific reference for the early prevention of cardiovascular damage.
Methods:
Based on the data from the second follow up (October 2021 to January 2022) of the Huantai Children Cardiovascular Health Follow up Cohort, 1 308 children with complete data were included. The fat mass percentage (FMP), fat mass index (FMI), subcutaneous fat mass (SFM) and visceral fat mass (VFM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), relative wall thickness (RWT), thickening of carotid intima-media thickening (cIMT) , left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular geometric remodeling (LVG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) ,high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were obtained. Multivariable Logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations of FMP, FMI, SFM and VFM with thickening of cIMT, LVH and LVG. The joint effects of these body fat indicators and dyslipidemia on the aforementioned cardiovascular outcomes were further explored. Restricted cubic spline model was used to examine the dose response relationships between body fat levels and cardiovascular structural abnormalities.
Results:
Elevated body fat levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular structural abnormalities, exhibiting J shaped dose response relationships (all P <0.05). Compared with the group with normal body fat and normolipidemia, the risks of thickening of cIMT, LVH, and LVG in the group with elevated FMP combined with dyslipidemia were higher[ OR (95% CI )=11.70 (6.49-21.27), 5.53 (2.97-10.17), 2.33 (1.30-4.05)]; in the group with elevated FMI combined with dyslipidemia, the corresponding risks were higher[ OR (95% CI )= 11.68 (6.43-21.38), 6.98 (3.73-12.92), 2.65 (1.50-4.61)]; in the group with elevated SFM combined with dyslipidemia, the corresponding risks were higher[ OR (95% CI )=10.55 (5.83-19.24), 5.11 (2.71-9.45), 1.99 (1.11- 3.46 )]; and in the group with elevated VFM combined with dyslipidemia, the corresponding risks were higher[ OR (95% CI )=12.44 (6.76-23.14), 6.17 ( 3.31 -11.38), 2.30 (1.30-3.99)] (all P <0.05). Sex stratified analyses showed that the risk of thickening of cIMT in the combined exposure group of all four body fat indicators and dyslipidemia was significantly higher in girls than in boys (all P <0.01).
Conclusions
Elevated body fat levels and dyslipidemia have a combined effect in children, collectively increasing the risk of cardiovascular structural abnormalities. Prevention of cardiovascular damage in children should focus on both adiposity management and blood lipid regulation.

Helicobacter pylori(Hp)is a major pathogen that causes peptic ulcer,mucosa-associated tissue lymphoma and gastric cancer.Adhesion colonization is a prerequisite for the pathogenesis of Hp.After infec-tion,Hp first uses urease to neutralize gastric acid,and then it adapts to the environment through motility and chemotactic swimming of flagella.Finally,Hp adheres to gastric epithelial cells through outer membrane pro-teins.Some outer membrane proteins have the biological effect of transporting virulence factors,mediating in-flammation and assisting Hp to produce pathological changes on human body.This paper reviews the mecha-nism of main colonization factors of Hp.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and impact on quality of life of the biofeedback (BF) therapy combined with the Wenyang Yiqi Prescription and self-efficacy interventions in patients with functional defecation disorders (FDD).Methods:A prospective, randomized controlled trial design was employed. A total of 128 FDD patients were selected from the Pelvic Floor Center of the Department of Proctology, Suzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, between January 2021 and April 2023. These patients were randomly divided into two groups, with 64 cases in each group. Additionally, 41 historical control patients, who had received conventional BF training between June 2015 and January 2018 at the same center, were included for comparison. The historical control group received conventional BF therapy, the intervention group 1 combined BF therapy with self-efficacy interventions, and the intervention group 2 added the Wenyang Yiqi Prescription based on intervention group 1's treatment. All three groups underwent two treatment courses. Constipation symptom scores before and after treatment were performed; self-efficacy was assessed via the Self-Rated Abilities for Health Practices scale (SRAHP); health behaviors were evaluated using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP); anxiety and depression were evaluated through Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS); quality of life was measured through SF-36. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on constipation symptom scores.Results:During the treatment period, seven patients dropped out due to personal reasons, leaving 61 patients in intervention group 1 and 60 patients in intervention group 2 for efficacy analysis. The total effective rates were 80.32% (49/61) in intervention group 1, 83.33% (50/60) in intervention group 2, and 56.10% (23/41) in the historical control group. The total effective rates of both intervention groups were significantly higher than those in the historical control group ( χ2=7.06, 9.15; P=0.029, 0.010, respectively). After treatment, intervention group 2 showed significantly lower constipation-related straining scores [1 (1, 2) vs. 2 (1, 2), Z=-4.51] compared to intervention group 1 ( P<0.05). Additionally, intervention group 2 had lower scores for straining [1 (1, 2) vs. 2 (1, 2), Z=-3.15] and defecation time [1 (0, 1) vs. 1 (1, 2), Z=-3.13] compared to the historical control group ( P<0.05). Psychological comfort efficacy (19.13 ± 2.51 vs. 16.98 ± 1.86, t=5.36), health responsibility efficacy (23.63 ± 4.69 vs. 22.59 ± 3.05, t=2.06), and overall SRAHP scores (75.98 ± 4.44 vs. 72.33 ± 5.16, t=4.17) were higher in intervention group 2 compared to intervention group 1 ( P<0.05). The HPLP scores (79.33 ± 11.13 vs. 72.80 ± 9.20, t=3.10) of intervention group 2 were higher than those of the historical control group ( P<0.05). Emotional functioning scores (75.98 ± 18.45 vs. 68.92 ± 20.58 and 68.55 ± 18.21, F=20.91) in intervention group 2 were higher than in both intervention group 1 and the historical control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The combination of the Wenyang Yiqi Prescription with BF therapy and self-efficacy interventions effectively improves the clinical symptoms and quality of life in FDD patients.

Abstract
Breastfeeding has an irreplaceable effect on the growth and development of premature infants and the reduction of complications during hospitalization. In recent years, with the opening of China′s birth policy, the incidence of premature babies has increased, and the corresponding complications have also gradually increased. Breast milk not only carries a rich supply of nutrients, including rich proteins, lipids, sugars to support the normal growth and development of infants, but also contains a large number of immunoglobulins, hormones and other bioactive substances to promote the improvement of body immune function and the development of nervous system. In recent years, many studies have been carried out on the current situation of breast milk operation in breast milk bank, the collection and influencing factors of breast milk, the strategies of breast milk enrichment and its effects on the growth and development of premature infants and complications. Therefore, breast-feeding and intensive breast-feeding can effectively promote the growth and development of premature infants, and reduce the occurrence of complications.

BACKGROUND:Apoptosis plays an important role in secondary brain injury.Therefore,to explore the pathophysiological mechanism of promoting nerve cell survival after traumatic brain injury provides a new direction and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injury. OBJECTIVE:To explore the expression changes of Lnx1 molecule in mammalian cortical neurons after brain injury and the possible mechanism involved in secondary brain injury. METHODS:Eighty adult SD rats were divided into 20 male and 20 female mice in sham operation group and 20 male and 20 female mice in traumatic brain injury group.The traumatic brain injury rat model was established by heavy falling method.At 6,12,24,48,and 72 hours after brain injury,the expression of related molecules in damaged cortical neurons was analyzed by RT-qPCR,western blot assay,and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The brain tissue of traumatic brain injury group was bleeding and obvious tissue injury could be observed.Water content of brain tissue increased after traumatic brain injury.(2)Compared with the sham operation group,the expression of Lnx1 in cortical neurons after traumatic brain injury increased significantly at 24 hours after injury.(3)After traumatic brain injury,the expression of PBK and BCR protein decreased,and the pro-survival factor ctgf increased.(4)These findings suggest that after traumatic brain injury,the expression of Lnx1 is up-regulated in neurons,which may be due to the decrease of the expression of its target molecules PBK and BCR,and further promote the expression of living factor ctgf,which has a protective effect on the damaged neurons.
