Objective:
To construct a framework for risk identification and mechanistic explanation of conduct problems in adolescents, so as to provide a basis for formulating effective prevention strategies.
Methods:
In October 2025, a total of 2 126 junior and senior high school students from Zibo City in Shandong Province, Zhengzhou City in Henan Province, and Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using a combination of convenience sampling and random cluster sampling. The instruments included the Adolescent Conduct Problem Tendency Questionnaire, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Callous- Unemotional Traits Scale, Parenting Style Scale, Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve Scale, Perceived School Climate Scale, and the School Context Subscale of the Multiple Violence Exposure Scale. Machine learning algorithms and response surface methodology (RSM) were employed to reveal the non linear interactive effects of risk factors on adolescent conduct problems.
Results:
Impulsive personality ranked first in feature importance, followed by neglectful parenting style and perceived school climate. Impulsive personality and neglectful parenting style both positively predicted rule breaking ( B =0.42, 0.16) and aggression tendencies( B =0.41,0.14), with the interaction effect between the two being significantly negative in both cases ( B =-0.19,-0.08); impulsive personality ( B =0.33) and perceived school climate ( B =0.47) positively predicted addiction tendency, with the interaction term being significantly negative ( B =-0.16)(all P <0.05). For rule breaking tendency, the congruence slope (0.58), congruence curvature (-0.16), incongruence slope (0.26), and incongruence curvature (0.22) all reached statistical significance (all P <0.05). For addiction tendency, the congruence slope (0.79), incongruence slope (-0.15), and incongruence curvature (0.34) all reached statistical significance (all P <0.05). For aggression tendency, the congruence slope (0.55), incongruence slope (0.26), and incongruence curvature (0.15) all reached statistical significance(all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Impulsive personality is the core driver of rule breaking and aggression tendencies, with neglectful parenting style playing a moderating role; perceived school climate is the core driver of addiction tendency and exhibits an interactive inhibition effect with impulsive personality.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided lower transverse abdominal muscle plane (TAP) block combined with esketamine intravenous controlled analgesia on postoperative patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) .Methods:A total of 120 CRC patients admitted to Linyi Central Hospital from Aug. 2022 to Aug. 2024 were selected and divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The control group received esketamine intravenous controlled analgesia, and the observation group was combined with TAP under ultrasound guidance on the basis of the control group. The postoperative recovery, pain numerical score (NRS), heart rate and mean arterial pressure of 1h, 8h and 48h were compared between the two groups. The levels of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) and adverse reactions were compared before anesthesia (T0), 24h (T1) and 48h (T2) after surgery. Results:The feeding time and the first exhaust time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The NRS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at 1h, 8h and 48h after operation ( P<0.05). The heart rate and mean arterial pressure of both groups increased at 8h and 48h after surgery, and the observation group was lower than the control group ( P<0.05). Serum IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1 β in both groups were higher than those in T0 at T1 and T2, and IL-6 and IL-1 β in observation group were lower than those in control group, and IL-10 was higher than those in control group ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was lower than that in control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided TAP combined with esketamine intravenous controlled analgesia can effectively accelerate the postoperative recovery of CRC patients, reduce the level of pain, and alleviate the inflammatory response of the body, with high safety.
