Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(3):398-402
Objective:
To explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health risk behaviors (HRBs) among college students and the mediating role of psychological symptoms, so as to provide a basis for developing intervention strategies.
Methods:
From March to April 2023, a convenience cluster sample of 1 801 students from 12 universities in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, Wuzhou of Guangxi completed an online survey. A self designed questionnaire, Adverse Childhood Experiences-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were used for evaluation tools. Binary Logistic regression, structural equation modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap methods were used to analyze the associations and mediating effects.
Results:
Overall, 71.2% of college students experienced at least one type of ACE, with emotional neglect (40.3%) and emotional abuse ( 25.2 %) having the highest detection rates. The top three HRBs were unhealthy diet (77.8%), physical inactivity (54.1%), and smoking/alcohol use (18.5%). Logistic regression showed that poor family functioning, abuse, and extra familial violence were each associated with an increased risk of smoking/alcohol use ( OR =1.14, 1.11, 1.18) and deliberate self harm ( OR =1.26, 1.19,1.30) (all P <0.05). Experience of abuse increased the risk of high risk sexual behavior and family dysfunction increaded the risk of physical inactivity, respectively ( OR = 1.07 , 1.04, both P <0.05). Mediation analysis revealed that anxiety ( β =0.20) and depression ( β = 0.09 ) partially mediated the pathway from poor family functioning to deliberate self harm; paranoia ( β =0.02) partially mediated the pathway from abuse to high risk sexual behavior; and obsessive-compulsive symptoms ( β =0.26) and depression ( β =0.10) partially mediated the pathway from extra familial violence to deliberate self harm (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Psychological symptoms play a mediating role in the association between ACEs and HRBs, and mental health interventions may reduce the risk of HRBs among college students.

Objective To investigate the correlation between Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)constitution types and disease progression in elderly patients with hypertension complicated by heart failure(HF).Methods A total of 200 eligible elderly patients treated in our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were recruited,and based on TCM constitution types,they were classified as balanced constitution(n=20,10.0%),qi-deficiency(n=35,17.5%),yang-deficiency(n=30,15.0%),yin-deficiency(n=21,10.5%),phlegm-dampness(n=35,17.5%),damp-heat(n=16,8.0%),blood-stasis(n=25,12.5%),qi-stagnation(n=11,5.5%),and inherited special constitu-tion(n=7,3.5%).TCM constitution,blood pressure,and cardiac function indicators were as-sessed.All patients were followed up for 1 year,and acute exacerbations was recorded to analyze disease progression.Blood pressure,cardiac function indicators,and acute exacerbation frequency were compared among different TCM constitution types,and Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between TCM constitution types and the frequency of acute exacer-bations.Results Significant differences were observed in SBP,DBP and frequency of acute exacer-bations among elderly hypertension patients with HF having different TCM constitution types(P<0.01).The patients with a phlegm-dampness constitution had obviously higher SBP,DBP,mean arterial pressure,stroke volume,central venous pressure and frequency of acute exacerba-tions than those with other constitution types,while the patients with a balanced constitution had the notably highest left ventricular ejection fraction(P<0.01).Spearman correlation analysis showed that balanced,phlegm-dampness,and blood-stasis constitutions were positively correlated with the frequency of acute exacerbations in these patients(r=0.480,r=0.375,r=0.295,P<0.01),whereas qi-deficiency constitution was negatively correlated(r=-0.235,P<0.01).Conclusion Elderly patients with hypertension and HF are predominantly of the qi-deficiency,phlegm-dampness,and yang-deficiency constitution types.Among them,the patients with phlegm-dampness constitution exhibit notably higher blood pressure and cardiac function indicators.TCM constitution types such as balanced and phlegm-dampness are closely related to disease progres-sion in these patients.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of a single stage reconstruction and revascularization using a free Flow-through chimeric anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap in Gustillo III C limb injuries.Methods:From January, 2010 to December, 2017, 17 patients with Gustillo III C injury of extremities were repaired with Flow-through chimeric ALTP in emergency surgeries. The patients were 16 males and 1 female with mean age of 32.4 (19-55) years. The size of wounds ranged from 16 cm×8 cm-45 cm×30 cm. The injured arteries were Flow-through anastomosed with the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery to regain blood flow. The deep dead space was filled with vastus lateralis flap, and the skin flap and fascia flap were used for superficial covering. The donor site was closed directly in 6 patients, simultaneous skin grafts were applied in 11 patients.Results:The followed-up time ranged 5 to 60 (average 21.8) months, and conducted by clinic visits and by telephone or WeChat interviews. Fifteen flaps survived, and 2 flaps failed with limb amputated. Six patients were repaired with skin and fascia flaps and 11 patients received flaps comprising the skin, fascia and vastus lateralis muscle. Four flaps healed in stage I. Partial necrosis were observed in 11 flaps. Of which, 1 healed by change of dressing and 10 healed by skin grafting. No complications occurred in donor site in all patients.Conclusion:The Flow-through chimeric ALTP flap can be used in stage I reconstruction of the blood supply of limbs and meanwhile achieve the 3-D repair of defects. It is one of the reliable methods in the reconstruction of Gustillo III C injuries in the extremities.

Objective:To study the clinical effect and hemorheological changes of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) combined with Tuina therapy on patients with cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type (CSA).Methods:One hundred and ten patients with CSA, admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University from January 2018 to January 2019, were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table, with 55 cases in each group. The control group was treated with Tuina therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, while the observation group was treated with HBO based on the treatment of the control group. The clinical effect, hemorheological changes, cervical vertebral movements, the levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and urotensin Ⅱ(UⅡ) in plasma were tested and recorded before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group (94.55%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (81.82%) ( P<0.05). The peak systolic blood flow velocity and the mean blood flow velocity of vertebrobasilar artery in the observation group after treatment were significantly increased as compared with the control group ( P<0.05). The angles to anterior, posterior, left, and right of cervical vertebral movement of the observation group after treatment were significantly larger than those of the control group ( P<0.05). The levels NPY and UⅡ in plasma of both groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment ( P<0.01), and the levels NPY and UⅡ in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment ( P<0.05). Conclusion:HBO combined with Tuina therapy can improve the curative effect on CSA, by improving cervical vertebral movement and hemorheological characteristics, and lowering the levels of NPY and UⅡ in plasma in CSA patients.

Objective:To investigate whether celastrol can increase the cytotoxic activity of γδ T cells against osteosarcoma (OS) cells line HOS through TRAIL way. Methods:The death receptors 4/5 (DR4/5) protein levels in the OS cell lines HOS was in-vestigated by Western blot analysis. Zoledronate ( ZOL) was used to induceγδT cells from PBMCs of healthy volunteers.γδT cell cy-totoxicity against HOS cells was investigated by a standard lactate dehydrogenase release assay ( LDH ) . Results:Celastrol increased DR4/5 protein expression in HOS ( P<0. 05 ) .γδ T cells from PBMCs of healthy volunteers showed cytotoxicity against HOS ( P<0. 05). Following co-culture with HOS pre-treated with celastrol (1 μmol/L) for 24 h,γδ T cells showed significantly higher cytotoxicity against HOS (P<0. 05). The induction of DR4/5 molecules increased lysis of HOS by γδ T cells which was abolished by addition of a blocking TRAIL antibody. Conclusion:Celastrol can enhance γδ T cells'cytotoxic activity against OS cells line HOS through TRAIL way.
