1.Association of generative artificial intelligence dependence and academic burnout among college students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(5):652-655
Objective:
To understand the current status of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) dependence among college students, explore its relationship with basic psychological needs satisfaction, artificial intelligence (AI) literacy, and academic burnout, so as to provide an empirical basis for universities to formulate scientific AI education governance strategies.
Methods:
A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 1 086 undergraduates from 5 universities in Shenyang from March to May 2025. Surveys were conducted using the GenAI Dependence Scale, Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale, Academic Burnout Scale, and AI Literacy Scale. Pearson correlation analysis was utilized to examine the correlations among variables, and the PROCESS Model was employed to test the mediating effects.
Results:
The scores for college students GenAI dependence and academic burnout were (2.94±0.86) and (3.15±0.84), respectively. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that GenAI dependence was positively correlated with academic burnout ( r =0.40) and negatively correlated with both basic psychological need satisfaction and AI literacy ( r =-0.39,-0.22)(all P <0.01). Mediation analysis revealed that basic psychological need satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between GenAI dependence and academic burnout, with an effect size of 0.109 (95% CI =0.075-0.148). AI literacy moderated this mediation pathway, yielding a moderated mediation index of -0.051 (95% CI =-0.089 to -0.021). Under low AI literacy levels, the indirect effect of GenAI dependence on academic burnout through basic psychological needs satisfaction was stronger (effect size=0.159, 95% CI =0.108-0.201), whereas high AI literacy effectively buffered this indirect negative impact (effect size=0.058, 95% CI =0.012-0.095).
Conclusion
GenAI dependence not only directly predicts academic burnout but also exerts an indirect effect by thwarting psychological needs satisfaction, with AI literacy playing a moderating role.

Objective:To describe the epidemiological distribution of hemorrhoids in a physical exami-nation population in China,which could provide evidence for precision prevention and early intervention of hemorrhoids.Methods:Chinese subjects over 18 years of age who underwent a physical examination in a nationwide chain of physical examination centers in 2018 were studied in a cross-sectional design,which collected information by a questionnaire and physical examination results from each subject.The epidemiological distribution of hemorrhoids was described using Logistic models.The gender-,age-,and region-detection rates of hemorrhoids were standardized to the Sixth National Population Census of the People's Republic of China(2010).Results:A total of 2 940 295 adult subjects were included in the study,of whom the average age was(41.7±14.0)years,and 52.6%were females.The standardized detection rate of hemorrhoids was higher for females(43.7%)than that for males(17.7%;P<0.001)in this study.In the females,the age distribution of hemorrhoids was inverted U-shaped,with the highest standardized detection rate of hemorrhoids in the age group of 30-39 years(63.5%).In the males,the standardized detection rate of hemorrhoids increased along with age,with the highest percentage of 17.2%in the age group of 50-59 years,and the standardized detection rate of hemorrhoids in the age group of 60 and above decreased slightly(P<0.001 for trend test).The participants with hypertension had a higher standardized detection rate of hemorrhoids than those with normal blood pressure in both males and females(P<0.001).The standardized detection rate of hemorrhoids showed a positive corre-lation with body mass index(P<0.001 for trend test in males).Conclusion:The detection rate of hemorrhoids varied to gender,age,obesity,and hypertension status,which could help to identify the risk factors and the high-risk sub-groups,and hence to strengthen health education and early detection accordingly,which could eventually reduce the incidence of hemorrhoids and improve the quality of life and health in the Chinese population.This study was conducted in a physical examination population,and the conclusions of this study should be extrapolated with caution.

Objective:To determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) recipients, and to study the efficacy and safety of Hp eradication therapy.Methods:13C-urea breath test was carried out between July 2018 and October 2019. There were 104 males and 26 females with an average age of 52.1 year for these LT recipients who were regularly followed-up in the Organ Transplant Center, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Propensity scoring was used to match age and gender in a ratio of 1∶3. A healthy group of individuals consisting of 299 males and 91 females, with an average age of 51.8 years, were selected as the control group also in a ratio of 1∶3. All patients underwent 13C-urea breath test to evaluate Hp infection and results of quadruple therapy. Results:The prevalence of Hp infection among the LT recipients was 18.5%(24/130) which was significantly lower than the control group 36.4% (142/390) (χ 2=14.400, P<0.001). Among the recipients who received LT and 13C-urea breath test for less than 1 year, 1-3 years and more than 3 years, the prevalences of Hp infection were 14.3% (6/42), 17.8%(8/45) and 23.3%(10/43), respectively. Although the prevalence of Hp showed a gradually increasing trend, no correlation between Hp infection and duration from LT was observed (χ 2=1.321, P=0.517). Seventeen Hp positive recipients underwent Hp eradication therapy. The success rate of Hp eradication was 100.0%(17/17). Immunosuppressant concentration was monitored regularly in 10 patients. During Hp eradication, the blood concentration of immunosuppressant increased from 1.7 to 3.6 times, and the drug dosage was reduced to one half to one third of what it was before Hp eradication. Seven of these 17 recipients suffered from adverse effects caused by increased levels of blood concentration of immunosuppressants, including headache, hypertension, insomnia and irritability. Normal liver and kidney functions were observed during eradication. Conclusion:In this study, the prevalence of Hp infection among liver transplant recipients was 18.5%. The success rate of Hp eradication was 100% using bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. The dosage of immunosuppressant required to be monitored, and if necessary, adjusted during eradication to reduce adverse side effects.
