Objective:
To understand the changing trends and related factors of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding the three major infectious diseases (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, tuberculosis, hepatitis B) among freshmen in Jiangsu from 2019 to 2022, so as to provide a reference basis for the health education of infectious diseases in schools.
Methods:
From 2019 to 2022, a total of 33 944 freshmen from 20 universities in Jiangsu Province were randomly selected for four consecutive years to investigate their KAP levels online through self designed questionnaires on three major infectious diseases. The multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the changing trends of students KAP levels of the three major infectious diseases, and to explore the influencing factors of KAP.
Results:
From 2019 to 2022, the knowledge scores(18.0±3.1,18.4±3.2,18.7±3.2,18.8±3.2), related to the three major infectious diseases showed an upward trend ( F=436.50, P <0.01), and the positive attitude reporting rates were 81.77%, 81.46%, 82.68% and 81.74%, respectively. The reporting rates of positive practice were 80.11%, 79.25%, 79.08 % and 79.04%, respectively. Multiple linear regression showed that school type, parental education level, mother s occupation, average income per person in family and living arrangements during high school all had an impact on the knowledge ( β = -1.510 -0.559), attitudes ( β =-0.043-0.065) and practice ( β =-0.028-0.027) of the three major infectious diseases ( P < 0.05 ). The family residence areas only affected the reporting rate of positive attitude scores ( β =0.002-0.065), and whether only children or not affected the reporting rate of positive practice scores ( β =0.009)( P <0.05). The knowledge score showed an upward trend ( β= 0.297, P <0.01), the positive attitude reporting rate showed no statistically significant change ( β=0.001, P =0.22), and the positive practice reporting rate showed a downward trend ( β=-0.005, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Freshman in Jiangsu Province from 2019 to 2022 have shown a separation in KAP scores regarding the three major infectious diseases. Targeted measures should be taken to improve their health practice level.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of foliar fertilizer of nano-calcium carbonate and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate on the agronomic traits, carbohydrate and endogenous hormone contents of Dendrobium officinale planted for 1 year under greenhouse cultivation, in order to provide scientific basis for fertilization to improve the yield and quality of D. officinale. MethodsSingle-factor experimental design was adopted. Starting from early spring, D. officinale was treated with foliar spraying according to corresponding fertilizers. Three treatment groups were established based on different fertilizers, namely, a blank group(clear water), a nano-calcium carbonate group(0.727 g·L-1 nano-calcium carbonate water-soluble fertilizer), and a calcium nitrate tetrahydrate group(1.091 g·L-1 calcium nitrate tetrahydrate water-soluble fertilizer). The frequency of spraying was three times per month, and the entire treatment process lasted for nine months. The effects of various treatments on the traits and relative chlorophyll content of D. officinale were dynamically monitored. Sampling was conducted at three specific time points:August 2, 2023, September 8, 2023, and November 1, 2023, respectively. The contents of glucose and mannose in D. officinale stems were determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), the content of soluble sugars in D. officinale stems and leaves was determined by phenol method, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the concentrations of cytokinin and auxin. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the treatments with nano-calcium carbonate and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate could significantly increase stem length, stem node number, leaf number, and tiller number. Among them, during the harvesting period in November, the stem length and tiller number, which are indicators related to the yield of D. officinale, increased by 60.85% and 19.23% after treatment with calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, and by 32.54% and 28.85% after treatment with nano-calcium carbonate, respectively. Compared with the blank group, treatments with nano-calcium carbonate and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate could promote the accumulation of sucrose in the stems and leaves of D. officinale to varying degrees, as well as the accumulation of polysaccharides, mannose, and glucose in the stems. In addition, nano-calcium carbonate treatment also facilitated the accumulation of fructose in the stems and leaves of D. officinale. Specifically, during the harvesting period in November, polysaccharides and mannose, which were the main active ingredients in D. officinale stems, increased by 28.48% and 29.36% after treatment with calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, and by 39.91% and 82.62% after treatment with nano-calcium carbonate, respectively. In addition, compared with the blank group, the concentrations of auxin in the stems and leaves of D. officinale were significantly increased after treatment with calcium nitrate tetrahydrate(P<0.05). Similarly, the concentrations of cytokinin and auxin in the stems of D. officinale were also elevated after treatment with nano-calcium carbonate. Correlation analysis further indicated that elongation growth and tillering of D. officinale stems after foliar spraying of nano-calcium carbonate and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate might be related to the accumulation of carbohydrates in the stems and leaves and the synergistic effect of auxin and cytokinin. ConclusionIn production practice, spraying nano-calcium carbonate and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate can promote the accumulation of cytokinin, auxin, and carbohydrate contents in the stems and leaves of D. officinale, and promote tillering and elongation growth of the stems.

Objective:
To analyze the influence of stress and psychological resilience on the dietary behavior of middle school students so as to privide a basis for the development of policies and interventions aimed at improving middle school students dietary behavior.
Methods:
A total of 8 874 middle school students in Shanghai were surveyed using stratified cluster random sampling method from November 2019 to January 2020. The questionnaire included general information, dietary behavior, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Factor analysis was used to analyze the dietary behavior model. Logistic regression model was used to explore the correlation between stress, psychological resilience and dietary behavior in adolescents. Besides, a structural equation model was established to analyze the mediating effect of psychological resilience on stress and dietary behavior.
Results:
The total score of psychological resilience among middle school students was (27.99±9.83), and the total score of stress was (25.56±7.06). Factor analysis categorized dietary behavior into two types: the high energy dietary behavior and balanced dietary behavior. High energy dietary behavior exhibited statistically significant differences across genders and schooling stage ( χ 2=41.37, 204.03), while balanced dietary behavior showed statistically significant differences across schooling stage and socioeconomic status ( χ 2=130.23, 96.53) (all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that adolescents with moderate and high stress levels had an increased risks of high energy dietary behavior ( OR=1.25, 95%CI =1.12-1.39; OR=1.58, 95% CI = 1.39-1.79) and a reduced likelihood of reduced balanced dietary behavior ( OR=0.73, 95%CI =0.65-0.81; OR=0.53, 95%CI =0.47-0.60); adolescents with high levels of psychological resilience had a decreased risk of highenergy dietary behavior ( OR= 0.73 , 95%CI =0.65-0.83), and those with moderate and high resilience levels showed improved balanced dietary behavior ( OR= 1.45 , 95%CI =1.29-1.62; OR=2.50, 95%CI =2.21-2.84) (all P <0.01). The mediating effect of psychological resilience between stress and high energy dietary behavior or balanced dietary behavior accounted for 15.61% and 56.10% of the total effects, respectively.
Conclusions
Stress and psychological resilience are the influencing factors of dietary behavior in middle school students. Psychological resilience have a partial mediating effect between stress and high energy dietary behavior or balanced dietary behavior.

objectiveTo investigate the differences in clinical indices and lipid metabolism between the patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and healthy individuals in the overweight population. MethodsIn this study, body mass index (BMI)>23 kg/m2 was defined as overweight. A total of 62 overweight patients with NAFLD who were admitted to Putuo Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2020 to April 2021 were enrolled as overweight NAFLD group, and 50 overweight individuals who underwent physical examination during the same period of time were enrolled as control group. Clinical information and blood biochemical parameters were recorded for all subjects. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze serum lipidomic profile, and principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were used to perform the multivariate statistical analysis of lipidomic data. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups, and the independent-samples t test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsThe overweight NAFLD group had a significantly higher BMI than the overweight control group (Z=-2.365, P=0.018). As for serological markers, compared with the overweight control group, the overweight NAFLD group had significantly higher levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, uric acid, total protein, globulin, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, cholinesterase, low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, triglyceride, apolipoprotein B, and blood glucose (all P<0.05). The lipidomic analysis showed that there was a significant difference in lipid metabolism between the two groups, and a total of 493 differentially expressed lipids were identified (VIP value>1, P<0.05), among which 143 lipids were significantly upregulated and 350 lipids were significantly downregulated in the overweight NAFLD group. The mean total fatty acid content in the overweight NAFLD group was 3.6 times that in the overweight control group. Compared with the overweight control group, the overweight NAFLD group had a significant reduction in the content of triglyceride with>3 unsaturated bonds (P<0.001) and a significant increase in the content of triglyceride with ≤3 unsaturated bonds (P<0.001). ConclusionCompared with healthy overweight individuals, overweight NAFLD patients tend to have significant abnormalities in some biochemical parameters and lipid metabolites, with significant increases in the content of fatty acid in blood and the types of saturated fat chains in triglycerides.

Laboratory Animal and Comparative Medicine 2024;44(5):469-474
Laboratory animals are not only a national strategic resource but also an important support for development of science and technology. The Committee of Identification and Evaluation for Laboratory Animal Resources, organized by Chinese Association for Laboratory Animal Sciences and established in May 2019, is currently the only specialized academic agency dedicated to the identification and evaluation of laboratory animal resources in China. This paper first discusses the significance of identifying and evaluating laboratory animal resources, summarizes three new approaches to developing these resources, including the domestication and standardization of laboratory animals (economic, ornamental, agricultural, and wild animals, etc.), the acquisition of new strains (species) through natural mutation and induced mutation, and the creation of new laboratory animal resources through gene editing technology. It then introduces the workflow for resource identification and evaluation, including preliminary review (format review), written review (expert review), joint review or on-site inspection, final review (voting and public announcement),and the issuance of certificates. The required materials to be submitted include application, summary report, research or identification reports, appendices and other necessary documents. The paper further discusses related requirements for resource identification and evaluation, including population, genetic classification, biological characteristics, genetic stability, and application value. Finally, the current status of newly identified laboratory animal strains (species) and issues in current work practices are analyzed, as well as solutions to these issues. This paper aims to provide a valuable reference for further research in this field.

Objective:
To explore the association of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep with depressive symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide a reference for improving mental health of middle school students.
Methods:
In accordance with the cluster random sampling method, a total of 18 484 middle school students in Shanghai were surveyed from September to November 2022. Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and sleep duration with depressive symptoms were assessed using the relevant scale items included in the questionnaire of Surveillance for Common Disease and Health Risk Factors among Students. The χ 2 test was used for inter group comparison, Logistic regression analysis and likelihood ratio test were used to analyze the independent and aggregated associations of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet use and insufficient sleep wiht depressive symptoms.
Results:
Self reported rates of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage, insufficient sleep and depressive symptoms among adolescents were 14.7%, 73.5% and 16.3%, respectively. Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage ( OR=2.69, 95%CI =2.44-2.97) and insufficient sleep ( OR=1.76, 95%CI =1.58-1.95) were associated with depressive symptoms ( P <0.05). Compared to middle school students with no tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and sufficient sleep, those with both tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep showed the higher rate of depressive symptoms ( OR=4.71, 95%CI =4.08-5.44, P <0.05). Further stratified analysis results showed that, compared to the boys and the high school students, the separate and joint association of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep with depressive symptoms were more pronounced in the girls and the middle school students [ OR (95% CI ) for tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage were 3.09 (2.68-3.56) and 4.74 (3.86-5.83), respectively; OR (95% CI ) for insufficient sleep were 1.86 (1.60-2.17) and 2.00 (1.58-2.53), respectively; and the OR (95% CI ) for the joint association were 6.05 (5.01-7.31) and 9.15 (6.98-11.99), respectively, P <0.05].
Conclusions
Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep are associated with depressive symptoms in middle school students. Prevention and control strategies for adolescent mental health should be developed with consideration of health related behaviors, and also need to be tailored by focusing on gender and grade differences.
