Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):73-77
Objective:
To explore the impact of sleep quality, experience of childhood maltreatment, and their interaction on depressive symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide the reference for early intervention of depressive symptoms among middle school students.
Methods:
From September to December 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 231 students from two secondary schools in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province by a convenient sampling method. The survey included general demographic information, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Short Version of Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. The Chi square test was used to analyze the differences in depressive symptom, sleep quality and childhood maltreatment among students with different demographic characteristics. Correlation analysis was conducted using Logistic regression, and interaction analysis was performed by both additive and multiplicative interaction models.
Results:
The detection rate of depressive symptoms among middle school students was 22.7%, and the rate for high school students (35.2%) was significantly higher than that for middle school students (17.0%) ( χ 2=50.35, P <0.01). The detection rates of depressive symptoms among middle school students with a history of childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality were 45.8% and 44.0%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to students without a history of childhood maltreatment, students with a history of childhood maltreatment had a higher risk of depressive symptoms ( OR =4.49,95% CI =3.31~ 6.09 , P <0.01);students with poor sleep quality had a higher risk of depressive symptoms than students with good sleep quality ( OR = 5.99,95% CI =4.37~8.22, P <0.01).The interaction results showed that the presence of childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality had an additive interaction on the occurrence of depression in middle school students. Compared with students without childhood maltreatment and having good sleep quality, students with childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality had a 22.49 times higher risk of developing depression ( OR =22.49,95% CI =14.22~35.59, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Depressive symptoms among middle school students are associated with childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality, and there is an additive interaction between childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality on the impact of depressive symptoms.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a novel class of antidiabetic drugs that also possess lipid- lowering and cardiovascular protective effects, with liraglutide and semaglutide being their representative medications. Based on a systematic literature search, this review summarizes the lipid-lowering mechanisms by which liraglutide and semaglutide exert direct effects on the liver and kidney (regulating autophagy, key lipid metabolism pathways, reverse cholesterol transport, etc.), direct actions on adipose tissue (affecting adipocyte proliferation and differentiation, expression of lipid metabolism proteins, and gene transcription), activation of sympathetic pathways through the central nervous system, and modulation of the gut microbiota. Additionally, it summarizes the clinical evidence of their lipid-lowering effects in populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus, overweight individuals, and others. These findings indicate that GLP-1 receptor agonists exert lipid-lowering effects by acting on multiple tissues or systems, providing crucial evidence for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms of these drugs in lipid regulation and exploring potential new ideas for their clinical applications.

Cuproptosis, a recently identified form of regulated cell death triggered by excess intracellular copper, has emerged as a promising cytotoxic strategy for cancer therapy. However, the therapeutic efficacy of copper ionophores such as elesclomol (ES) is often hindered by cellular copper homeostasis mechanisms that limit copper influx and cuproptosis induction. To address this challenge, we developed a nanoagent utilizing outer membrane vesicle (OMV) derived from Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) for co-delivery of antioxidant 1 copper chaperone (Atox1)-targeting siRNA and ES (siAtox1/ES@OMV) to tumors. In vitro, we demonstrated that Atox1 knockdown via siRNA significantly disrupted copper export mechanisms, resulting in elevated intracellular copper levels. Simultaneously, ES facilitated efficient copper influx and mitochondrial transport, leading to Fe-S cluster depletion, increased proteotoxic stress, and robust cuproptosis. In vivo, siAtox1/ES@OMV achieved targeted tumor delivery and induced pronounced cuproptosis. Furthermore, leveraging the immunomodulatory properties of OMVs, siAtox1/ES@OMV promoted T-cell infiltration and the activation of tumor-reactive cytotoxic T cells, enhancing tumor immune responses. The combination of siAtox1/ES-induced cuproptosis and immunogenic cell death synergistically suppressed tumor growth in both subcutaneous breast cancer and orthotopic rectal cancer mouse models. This study highlights the potential of integrating copper homeostasis disruption with a copper ionophore using an immunomodulatory OMV-based vector, offering a promising combinatorial strategy for cancer therapy.

ObjectiveTo prepare a rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction by ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery, and to observe the effect of Shenfu Yixin granules on the mitochondrial dynamics of rats with heart failure. MethodFifty SD male rats were randomly taken ten as the sham operation group and the rest as modeling group. The rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction was prepared by ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery. According to the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) on the 28th day after operation, the model rats were randomly divided into the model group, Shenfu Yixin granule low-dose and high-dose groups(3.011, 15.055 g·kg-1) and sacubitril valsartan sodium group(20.83 mg·kg-1). Each administration group was gavaged daily with the corresponding dose of drug solution, while the sham operation group and model group were given the same amount of normal saline once a day for 28 days, with 6 rats in each group. Ultrasound was used to detect the cardiac function parameters, rat heart mass and body mass were weighed to calculate the cardiac mass index, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) and soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 protein(sST2) levels. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of the myocardium. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of mitochondrial fusion protein 1/2(Mfn1/2), optic atrophy protein 1(Opa1), dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1) and fission protein 1(Fis1). ResultCompared with the sham operation group, the mRNA and protein expression of LVEF, Mfn1, Mfn2, Opal in the model group decreased(P<0.05), while BNP, sST2, cardiac mass index, Drp1, Fis1 mRNA and protein levels increased(P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of LVEF, Mfn1, Mfn2, Opal mRNA and protein increased in Shenfu Yixin granule high-dose and sacubitril valsartan sodium groups(P<0.05), while BNP, sST2, cardiac mass index, Drp1, Fis1 mRNA and protein levels decreased(P<0.05). Pathological observation showed that compared with the sham operation group, the model group had disordered arrangement of myocardial cells, inflammatory cell infiltration and myocardial fibrosis. Compared with the model group, the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, myocardial or interstitial fibrosis was improved and alleviated in all administered groups. ConclusionShenfu Yixin granules can resist heart failure, reduce cardiac mass index, decrease BNP and sST2 contents, and improve cardiac function. Its mechanism may be related to the adjustment of mitochondrial dynamics.

7.Clinical study on ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture for awake tracheal intubation in difficult airways
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2024;31(1):45-51
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture for awake tracheal intubation in difficult airways.Methods:A total of 80 patients scheduled for general anesthesia surgery owing to difficult airways at Marine Police Corps Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Force from August 2019 to February 2023 were included in this prospective study. These patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group ( n = 40 per group). Both groups of patients underwent fiberoptic bronchoscope-guided awake tracheal intubation through the nasal route. Before intubation, the control group received surface anesthesia combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture anesthesia, while the observation group received superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture anesthesia. During the intubation process, hemodynamic indicators of the patients were monitored, the duration of the intubation operation was recorded, and the degree of sedation and cough response was evaluated. Before and after intubation, the levels of serum stress response factors were determined, and the satisfaction level of patients with the intubation operation was investigated. Results:At the time points T1 (immediately after the tracheal tube enters the glottis) and T2 (after the tracheal tube enters the trachea), the heart rate in the observation group was (84.08 ± 8.25) times/minute and (82.64 ± 7.81) times/minute, respectively, and the mean arterial pressure in the observation group was (92.57 ± 8.32) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and (103.27 ± 9.16) mmHg, respectively, which were significantly lower compared with those in the control group ( t = 5.92-12.56, all P < 0.001). At T1 and T2, there was no significant difference in blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) between the observation and control groups ( t = 0.34-0.43, P = 0.652-0.726). The duration of the intubation operation in the observation group was (8.96 ± 1.15) minutes, which was significantly shorter than (11.47 ± 1.39) minutes in the control group ( t = 6.84, P < 0.001). The Ramsay sedation score during intubation in the observation group was 3 (2,3) points, which was significantly higher than 2 (1,3) points in the control group ( Z = 9.26, P < 0.001). The cough response score in the observation group was 1 (0,1) point, which was significantly lower than 1 (0, 2) points in the control group ( Z = 4.37, P < 0.001). The serum levels of stress response factors norepinephrine and adrenaline in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 14.58-25.94, both P < 0.05). The overall patient satisfaction in the observation group was 97.50%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group ( χ2 = 4.51, P = 0.034). Conclusion:Superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture can be used for anesthetic management of awake nasal tracheal intubation in difficult airways. This combined approach can improve patient hemodynamic stability and sedation, shorten the duration of intubation, reduce stress responses during intubation, and enhance patient satisfaction.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(5):727-731
Objective:
To study the impact of sleep characteristics on myopia, among lower primary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide foundation for the prevention of the onset and development of myopia.
Methods:
A total of 636 students from the first and second grades of two primary schools in Jiading District, Shanghai, were selected through cluster random sampling for questionnaire surveys and ophthalmological examinations in October 2022. The Childrens Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep quality at baseline. Ophthalmological examinations were conducted in October 2023(479), during which the students study time, screen time and outdoor activity time were monitored for twoweek, repeated twice. Generalized multivariable Logistic regression models and linear regression models were employed to examine the association between sleeprelated factors and myopia, as well as the strength of this association.
Results:
The baseline survey indicated a myopia prevalence of 18.58%, with 17.18% at followup. The average CSHQ total score was (51.58±4.44), and the average daily sleep duration was (9.43±4.84)h/d, with only 11.6% of participants meeting the recommended sleep sufficiency. Multivariable regression models indicated that insufficient sleep showed positive association with myopia (OR=1.64, 95%CI=1.05-2.56), while bedtime duration was significantly negative associated with myopia (OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.63-0.91, P<0.05), adjusting for confounding factors. Inconsistency in bed rest time was a risk factor for myopia (OR=1.07, P<0.05), and the consistency of bed rest time, and wakeup time showed statistically significant correlations with SE (P<0.05). There was also statistically significant correlations between consistency in sleep time, bed rest time, and wakeup time with AL (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Insufficient sleep and bedtime duration are correlated with the onset and progression of myopia. It is critical to ensure sufficient sleep duration and regular sleep habits for children to reduce the occurrence of myopia in the primary school students.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.
