Objective:
To establish a prediction model for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior risk among children aged 10 to 13 years, so as to provide the basis for early prevention and intervention of NSSI behavior in children.
Method:
Students aged 10 to 13 years from four primary schools in Cixi City, Zhejiang Province from 2023 to 2024 were selected using a stratified cluster sampling method. Basic information, parents' marital status, family functioning, peer relationships, and academic satisfaction were collected through a questionnaire survey. The NSSI behavior in the past year was investigated by the Adolescent NSSI Behavior Rating Scale. The influencing factors for NSSI behavior were screened using a multivariable logistic regression model. A nomogram was established and verified with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to evaluate the fitting effect and Bootstrap method was used for internal verification.
Results:
A total of 986 students were surveyed, including 516 boys (52.33%) and 470 girls (47.67%). In the past year, 173 students (17.55%) engaged in NSSI behavior. The multivariable logistic regression model identified four influencing factors of NSSI behavior, and the prediction model was established as follows: ln[p/(1-p)]=-2.930+0.747×recent unpleasant events in the past week+0.441×having new media accounts+0.972×self-rated poor health status+0.557×self-rated general health status+0.745×family functioning. The area under the ROC curve was 0.791 (95%CI: 0.754-0.827), with a sensitivity of 0.792 and a specificity of 0.636.
Conclusions
The constructed nomogram model demonstrates a certain degree of discrimination, with good calibration and stability. It can be used to roughly predict the risk of NSSI behavior occurrence among children aged 10 to 13 years.

As one of the traditional computer simulation techniques, molecular simulation can intuitively display and quantify molecular structure and explain experimental phenomena from the microscopic molecular level. When the simulation system increases, the amount of calculation will also increase, which will cause a great burden on the simulation system. Coarse-grained molecular dynamics is a method of mesoscopic molecular simulation, which can simplify the molecular structure and improve computational efficiency, as a result, coarse-grained molecular dynamics is often used when simulating macromolecular systems such as drug carrier materials. In this article, we reviewed the recent research results of using coarse-grained molecular dynamics to simulate drug carriers, in order to provide a reference for future pharmaceutical preparation research and accelerate the entry of drug research into the era of precision drug design.

Objective:To investigate correlations between blood lipid levels and clinical characteristics of patients with psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) in Fujian province.Methods:Totally, 245 PsV patients were enrolled from Department of Dermatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from March 2019 to March 2022, and 250 gender-, age-, and body mass index-matched health checkup examinees served as controls. Their biochemical indicators, such as blood lipids, liver function, and kidney function, were evaluated. Clinical data, such as disease courses, involvement of specific sites, history of smoking and alcohol consumption, and family history of psoriasis, were collected from the PsV patients, and correlations between these clinical data and dyslipidemia were analyzed. Measurement data were compared using t test or Mann-Whitney U test, and enumeration data were compared using chi-square test. Results:There were 122 (50.8%) patients with dyslipidemia in the PsV group and 94 (37.6%) in the control group, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia significantly differed between the two groups ( χ2 = 7.48, P = 0.006). The prevalence of hypo-high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia was significantly higher in the PsV group (29.8%) than in the control group (18.8%; χ2 = 8.15, P = 0.004). The PsV group showed significantly decreased serum levels of total cholesterol (4.5[3.9, 5.2] mmol/L), high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (1.1[1.0, 1.3] mmol/L), and apolipoprotein A1 (1.2[1.1, 1.4] g/L) compared with the control group (4.9[4.3, 5.4] mmol/L, 1.3[1.1, 1.5] mmol/L, 1.3[1.2, 1.5] g/L, respectively; all P < 0.001). The proportions of males, patients with a history of alcohol consumption, and patients with involvement of the palmoplantar sites were significantly higher in the PsV patients with dyslipidemia (92.6%, 13.1%, 13.8%, respectively) than in those without dyslipidemia (70.7%, 6.0%, 5.0%, respectively; all P < 0.001). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that "male" and "BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2" were independent risk factors for dyslipidemia in the PsV patients ( OR [95% CI]: 3.94 [1.74, 9.74], 3.18 [1.71, 6.09], respectively), and "involvement of the palmoplantar sites" was independently associated with increased risk of hyperlipidemia ( OR [95% CI]: 3.38 [1.18, 11.01]) . Conclusion:The prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in PsV patients than in healthy populations, and PsV patients being males, having BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 and with involvement of palmoplantar sites may be prone to develop lipid metabolism disorders.
