Objective: To investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and their associated factors among students in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide evidence for targeted prevention strategies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 23 829 college students and primary and secondary school students aged 11-22 years in Zhejiang Province from December 2019 to February 2020. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Three machine learning algorithms, including Logistic regression, random forest, and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), were applied to construct predictive models, and key associated factors were identified by comparing model performance. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among students in Zhejiang Province was 19.92%; the rates were 17.20% in boys and 22.87% in girls( χ 2=164.89, P <0.05). The CES-D total score was 9.00(4.00,13.00). Multiple Logistic regression analysis revealed that loneliness had the strongest association with depressive symptoms ( AOR =9.58, 95% CI =8.90-10.30), while bullying exposure ( AOR =4.39, 95% CI =4.02-4.80), female students( AOR =1.81, 95% CI =1.68-1.94)，never eating breakfast ( AOR = 2.34，95% CI =2.00-2.67) and overweight/obesity( AOR =1.10，95% CI =1.08-1.12) were significant associated factors of depressive symptoms among students (all P <0.05). Analysis based on the XGBoost model produced highly consistent results, identifying the above 5 factors as the core features with the highest correlation strength (all P <0.05). Conclusions Female, loneliness, bullying exposure, frequency of weekly breakfast and BMI are strongly associated with depressive symptoms among students. Mental health education for high risk groups should be strengthened, and coordinated prevention efforts between families and schools are recommended.

OBJECTIVE: By analyzing the hormone secretion of the adenohypophysis, thyroid glands, gonads, and adrenal cortex in patients with hematological diseases before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), this study aims to preliminarily explore the effect of HSCT on patients' hormone secretion and glandular damage. METHODS: The baseline data of 209 hematological disease patients who underwent HSCT in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2023, as well as the data on the levels of hormones secreted by the adenohypophysis, thyroid glands, gonads and adrenal cortex before and after HSCT were collected, and the changes in hormone levels before and after transplantation were analyzed. RESULTS: After allogeneic HSCT, the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and estradiol (E2) decreased, while the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) increased. The T3 level of patients with decreased TSH after transplantation was lower than that of those with increased TSH after transplantation. In female patients, the levels of prolactin (PRL), progesterone (Prog), and testosterone (Testo) decreased after HSCT. Testo and PRL decreased when there was a donor-recipient sex mismatch, and the levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol (COR) decreased when the HLA matching was haploidentical. The levels of T3, FT3, and PRL decreased after autologous HSCT. In allogeneic HSCT patients, the levels of TSH, T4, T3, FT3, and ACTH in the group with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were significantly lower than those in the group without GVHD. Logistic regression analysis showed the changes in hormone levels after transplantation were not correlated with factors such as the patient's sex, age, or whether the blood types of the donor and the recipient are the same. CONCLUSION HSCT can affect the endocrine function of patients with hematological diseases, mainly affecting target glandular organs such as the thyroid, gonads, and adrenal glands, while the secretory function of the adenohypophysis is less affected.

Objective To carry out quality control testing of anesthesia ventilators to ensure the reliability and safety during their clinical use.Methods Totally 88 anesthesia ventilators used in some hospital underwent quality control testing in terms of tidal volume,peak airway pressure and positive end-expiratory pressure by using a gas flow analyzer according to JJF(E)61-2020 Calibration Specification of Anesthetic Machines,which included 31 ones,36 ones,12 ones and 9 ones respectively from brand A,B,C and D.The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the variability of the measured values and errors of the performance indicators between different brands of anesthesia ventilators,the chi-square test was applied to discussing the variability of the accuracy class of the performance indicators between different brands of anesthesia ventilators,and the Pearson correlation coefficient was adopted to investigate the correlation between the years of use and the absolute values of the relative errors of the performance indicators.Results The 88 anesthesia ventilators had the overall pass rate for quality control testing being 42.05%,of which,brand B had the highest pass rate(52.78%)and brand C had the lowest pass rate(8.33%).Brand B gained advantages in tidal volume when compared with brand A,C and D,with the differences being significant(P<0.05);brand A behaved the best in peak airway pressure and positive end-expiratory pressure when compared with brand B,C and D,with the differences being significant(P<0.05).Brand A had the highest proportion(63.08%)of distinction and credit in terms of the three performance indicators.The absolute value of the relative error in tidal volume was positively correlated with the years of use at the 3 measurement points for setting values of 400,600,and 800 mL respectively(P<0.05),and there was a significant correlation between the absolute value of the relative error and the years of use at a peak airway pressure setting of 10 cmH2O(1 cmH2O=98.07 Pa)(P<0.05).Conclusion Quality control testing of anesthesia ventilators contributes to finding the risks during their application,which can be an effective tool to ensure the safety of anesthesia ventilators used in medical institutions.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(9):75-80]

Objective To analyze the application of in-use laparoscopes in clincal departments to enhance the laparoscope's effectiveness.Methods The effective utilization data of 29 laparoscopes from January 2024 to June 2024 were acquired with an hospital intelligent medical device management platform.Comparisons were carried out in terms of average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency between the laparoscopes from different departments and brands with non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test and between the conventional and 3D laparoscopes with non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test.Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the number of years of laparoscope use and the average daily workload,the average daily hours of use,and the average daily efficiency and the chi-square test was applied to investigating the relationship between the surgery grade and the type of equipment selected.Results Thoracic sugery department had the highest average daily workload(3.82 person-time),while the general medical department had the highest average daily hours of use(443.76 min)and the highest daily efficiency(92.45％).There were significant differences between the laparoscopes from different departments in average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency(P＜0.05).Brand D laparoscope behaved the best among brands of laparoscopes with the highest average daily workload(3.72 person-time),average daily hours of use(394.41 min)and average daily efficiency(82.17％).There were sig-nificant differences between the brands of laparoscopesin average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency(P＜0.05).3D laparoscopes obviously gained advantages over the conventional ones in average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency(P＜0.05).The number of years of use correlated negatively with average daily workload,average daily hours of use and average daily efficiency,with Pearson correlation coefficients being-0.095,-0.039 and-0.039 respectively.Grade Three and Four surgeries had significant differences in types of selected equipment(P＜0.001),and 3D laparoscopes were preferred for Grade Four surgery.Conclusion Utilization analysis of laparoscopes provides data support for optimized application and setup of laparoscopes.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(2):87-91]

Objective:To construct a dynamic competency assessment system suitable for standardized training of resident physicians in the department of pediatric infectious diseases, verify its teaching practice effectiveness, and enhance the core competence of specialist physicians.Methods:Based on the Delphi method, an evaluation system was constructed. Through two rounds of expert consultation ( n=20, authority coefficient Cr=0.889-0.895), 5 primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 38 tertiary indicators were established, covering dimensions such as clinical thinking, operational skills, and professional ethics. The hierarchical and progressive design and dynamic feedback mechanism were adopted. Sixty residents were randomly divide into an observation group (dynamic evaluation system) and a control group (traditional evaluation). Differences between the two groups were compared in terms of short-term teaching effectiveness (e.g., OSCE assessment and Mini CEX score) and long-term clinical competencies (e.g., exit assessment pass rate and incidence of adverse events). SPSS 24.0 was used for t-test, Mann Whitney U test, and internal consistency test (Cronbach's alpha=0.89). Results:The observation group outperformed the control group in core specialty competencies and clinical practice outcomes. In terms of core specialty competencies, the observation group had a higher response speed score for pathogen results [(4.10±0.84) vs. (3.60±0.95), P=0.042]. This indicates that the dynamic evaluation system effectively enhanced the ability of trained physicians to quickly adjust treatment plans based on pathogenic evidence. The implementation rate of infection prevention and control standards and diagnostic accuracy were also higher in the observation group compared to the control group, reflecting the advantages of this system in standardizing clinical operations and improving diagnostic levels. In terms of long-term clinical competencies, the observation group showed significantly increased exit assessment pass rate and significantly decreased incidence of medical adverse events, further verifying the continuous promotion effect of the dynamic evaluation system on the clinical competence of trained physicians. Conclusions:The dynamic evaluation system constructed in this study can effectively enhance the core specialty competencies (e.g., pathogen response and infection prevention and control) and long-term clinical competence of residents in the department of pediatric infectious diseases, providing scientific basis for optimizing the training models of specialist physicians.

Mandibular reconstruction refers to the restoration of the continuity of the mandible through techniques such as autologous bone grafting,thereby restoring the patient's basic appearance,reconstructing the occlusal relationship,and restoring functions such as opening the mouth,chewing,and swallowing,in order to achieve a unity of oral and maxillofacial forms and functions.Due to the fact that mastication necessitates the coordinated efforts of the masticatory muscles,mandible,dental arch,and tongue,the recovery of masticatory function not only serves as a robust indicator for the success of surgery but also enhances the patients'quality of life,facilitating an early return to normal life.Currently,for the rehabilitation of oral function in patients after mandibular reconstruction surgery,standardized tools have been established in the fields of swallowing,occlusion,and speech assessment,and targeted training has been implemented,yielding significant therapeutic outcomes.However,research related to masticatory function faces two major challenges.First,existing assessment tools primarily focus on a single dimension,such as masticatory efficiency or subjective perception,and an integrated assessment system that encompasses multiple dimensions,including bite force distribution and oral sensory perception,has not yet been established.Second,although individual studies have explored factors affecting postoperative masticatory function,a systematic consensus has not been veached,leading to a lack of precision and individualization in clinical interventions,which significantly prolongs the patients'rehabilitation period.This paper reviews the scope and limitations of existing assessment tools for masticatory function in patients after mandibular reconstruction and systematically analyzes the key factors affecting postoperative masticatory function,aiming to promote a shift in clinical practice from"structural reconstruction"to a"function-perception collaborative rehabilitation"approach,and to provide a theoretical framework for constructing evidence-based,personalized masticatory rehabilitation programs.

Purpose To investigate the predictive value of the ratio of the square of the cross-sectional perimeter(C2)to the area(A)of the venous lumen(C2/A)in relation to lower extremity deep venous thrombosis(DVT)among orthopaedic inpatients.Materials and Methods A total of 150 inpatients without DVT from the Orthopedics Department of Xijing Hospital Affiliated to the Air Force Military Medical University were prospectively chosen from June 2020 to June 2021.Before the operation,the parameters including A,C,C2/A,inner diameter values,venous flow velocity and blood flow volume of the common femoral vein(CFV),superficial femoral vein(SFV)and popliteal vein(POV)were examined by ultrasound.After the operation,the formation of thrombus was monitored using ultrasound.Subsequently,the clinical data and ultrasound parameters of the thrombus group and the non-thrombus group were compared.Moreover,the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to assess the efficacy and cut-off values of each parameter in predicting DVT.Results There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in CFV inner diameter,CFV blood flow,CFV-C,CFV-A,CFV-C2/A,SFV blood flow,SFV-C,SFV-C2/A,POV blood flow,POV-C,POV-A and POV-C2/A(t=2.64-10.41,all P＜0.05).When the cut-off values of the ultrasonic parameters CFV-C2/A,SFV-C2/A,and POV-C2/A were＞16.01,＞16.53,and＞16.54 respectively,the area under the curve for predicting DVT was the largest,which were 0.906,0.920,and 0.870 respectively.The sensitivities were 83.8%,78.4%,and 81.1%respectively,and the specificities were 82.3%,89.4%,and 85.8%respectively.Conclusion The novel ultrasonic parameter C2/A exhibits a relatively high predictive efficacy for DVT,and it is capable of furnishing novel reference information for the implementation of early DVT prevention in the clinical setting.
