Objective:
To explore the latent profile characteristics of regulatory emotional self-efficacy and its relationship with non-suicidal self-injurious (NSSI) behavior among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide a basis for effectively reducing NSSI behaviors.
Methods:
From April to October 2023, a total of 1 217 junior and senior high school students were selected from Tongren City, Zunyi City and Qiannan Prefecture of Guizhou Province by stratified cluster random sampling method. The Scale of Regulatory Emotional Self-efficacy and the Adolescent Self-injury Scale were administered. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was employed to explore distinct profiles of regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and the Lanza, Tan, and Bray s method (LTB) was used to analyze the relationship between these profiles and NSSI behavior.
Results:
The prevalence rate of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students was 28.6%. Among males, regulatory emotional self-efficacy was categorized into two types: moderate positive expression-low negative management group (59.1%, n =353) and high efficacy group (40.9%, n =244); among females, regulatory emotional self-efficacy was classified into three categories: low efficacy group (18.4%, n =114), high positive expression-low negative management group (56.3%, n =349), and high efficacy group (25.3%, n =157). There were statistically significant differences in total NSSI scores across different potential categories of regulatory emotional self-efficacy within both males and females ( Z/H = -5.75 , 57.58, both P <0.01). The differences in NSSI prevalence rates across the potential categories of regulatory emotional self-efficacy were statistically significant for both males and females ( χ 2=38.00, 69.14, both P <0.01), and among females, the differences in NSSI prevalence rates between the high efficacy group and the low efficacy group ( χ 2=60.01) and between the high efficacy group and the high positive expression-low negative management group ( χ 2=31.34) were also statistically significant (both P < 0.016 7 ). Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that, compared with the high efficacy group within each gender, the moderate positive expression-low negative management group among males ( OR =2.36), and both the low efficacy group and the high positive expression-low negative management group among females ( OR =6.19, 2.97), were at an increased risk of engaging in NSSI (all P <0.01).
Conclusion
Different latent profiles of regulatory emotional self efficacy among junior and senior high school students are associated with NSSI behavior.

Background/Aims:
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a primary malignant neoplasm with an extremely poor prognosis. While combined chemoradiotherapy has been demonstrated to delay CCA progression to a certain extent, the absence of specific molecular biomarkers or targets significantly hinders the diagnosis and treatment of CCA.
Methods:
Through cross-analysis of proteomics and ADMA modificationomics, we identified DDX1 overexpressed in CCA with elevated R602-ADMA modifications. HPLC-MS/MS identified PRMT1 as the methyltransferase and USP10 as the deubiquitinating enzyme for DDX1. Immunofluorescence and nuclear-cytoplasmic partitioning experiments confirmed DDX1’s nuclear localization. GO and KEGG analyses clarify the biological functions of DDX1 in response to hypoxia. RNA-seq transcriptomics analyzed key pathways influenced by DDX1. A hydrodynamic in situ CCA mouse model was established to validate the chemopreventive effects of the PRMT1-specific inhibitor GSK715 on CCA development.
Results:
DDX1 promotes CCA progression both in vivo and in vitro and can be inhibited by GSK715. Mechanistically, PRMT1 mediates ADMA modification at position R602 of DDX1. This modification promotes DDX1 nuclear localization by recruiting USP10 to deubiquitinate DDX1, while simultaneously inhibiting PRMT1 degradation. DDX1 promotes the transcription of PRMT1 and USP10 by binding to the mRNA 3’UTR region, establishing a positive feedback regulatory pathway. This mechanism promotes the occurrence and development of CCA and can serve as a target for the inhibitor GSK715 to suppress CCA progression.
Conclusions
Our study identified DDX1-R602-ADMA modification as a novel ADMA modification in CCA. It further confirmed its pivotal role in CCA progression. Targeting the USP10-PRMT1-DDX1 axis may represent a significant therapeutic approach for CCA.

AIM: To compare objective visual quality and vision-related quality of life after implantation of different presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses(PC-IOLs).METHODS:A prospective, non-randomized controlled study. Cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification combined with PC-IOL implantation at Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital from September 2023 and December 2025 were included. These patients were divided into three groups according to the type of IOL: the Trifocal IOL group,the Vivity group, and the Synergy group. Follow-ups were conducted at 1 wk,1 and 3 mo postoperatively. Uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity(UIVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity(UNVA), objective scatter index(OSI), modulation transfer function cut off(MTF-cut off), and Strehl ratio(SR), as well as contrast visual acuity(CVA)at 100%, 20%, and 9% contrast were assessed. Postoperative defocus curves were plotted. Vision-related quality of life and spectacle independence were evaluated using questionnaires.RESULTS: This study included 101 cataract patients(101 eyes),aged 30-70(53.8±9.7)y,with 59 males and 42 females.The Trifocal group consisted of 33 patients(33 eyes), aged 30-71(51.7±11.3)y, with 21 males and 12 females; the Vivity group consisted of 37 patients(37 eyes), aged 36-71(54.2±9.0)y, with 18 males and 19 females; and the Synergy group consisted of 31 patients(31 eyes), aged 30-73(55.9±8.5)y, with 20 males and 11 females.No significant differences were observed among the three groups in UDVA or UIVA(all P>0.05). Significant differences were found in UNVA among groups(P<0.05). UDVA differed significantly across different time points(P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in UIVA and UNVA(all P>0.05). At 3 mo postoperatively, significant differences were found among the three groups in OSI, MTF -cut off, SR, and CVA at all contrast levels(all P<0.05). The defocus curve at postoperative 1 mo showed that the Trifocal group had a smooth and continuous profile from +1.0 D to -3.0 D, providing good distance, intermediate, and near vision. All groups demonstrated smooth transitions in the intermediate range(-1.0 D to -1.5 D), with LogMAR visual acuity better than 0.2. In the near range(-2.5 D to -3.5 D), the Trifocal and Synergy groups performed significantly better than the Vivity group. No significant differences were observed in VF-14 questionnaire scores among groups(P>0.05). For night driving(motorized or non-motorized), the Vivity group performed better than the Trifocal and Synergy groups. Spectacle independence rates were 92.3% in the Trifocal group, 54.1% in the Vivity group, and 80.0% in the Synergy group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: All types of PC-IOLs can effectively improve postoperative full-range visual acuity in cataract patients. There are discrepancies in the objective visual quality between Trifocal IOLs and extended depth of focus(EDOF)IOLs. Some patients suffer from postoperative optical disturbances, which result in certain difficulties with night driving, although patients generally report favorable subjective visual perceptions.

Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents. Current research suggests that environmental factors, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), may be associated with an increased risk of ADHD in offspring. However, most epidemiological evidence originates from non-Chinese populations, with limited research investigating the association between prenatal PFAS and ADHD-like symptoms in Chinese school-aged children. Objective To examine the association between prenatal PFAS exposure and ADHD-like symptoms in 7-year-old children. Methods Based on the Shanghai Birth Cohort, this study included 488 mother-child pairs. PFAS were measured in maternal serum during the second trimester using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The analysis focused on eight specific compounds from three PFAS categories [perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), and perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS)]. The hyperactivity subscale of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess ADHD-like symptoms in children at age 7. Basic demographic information was collected via questionnaires and medical records. Negative binomial regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between individual exposures to the three typical PFAS categories (PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS) and children's ADHD-like symptoms, while the bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) mixture model was employed to assess the overall effect of PFAS mixture exposure on ADHD-like symptoms. Results The detection rates of the eight target PFAS in maternal second-trimester serum were all above 85%, with PFOA exhibiting the highest median concentration (10.21 ng·mL−1). Overall, 14.75% of the children exhibited ADHD-like symptoms. Results from the negative binomial regression models showed that second-trimester exposures to PFOA (IRR=1.15, 95%CI: 1.05, 1.26), n-PFOS (IRR=1.08, 95%CI: 1.01, 1.15), 6m-PFOS (IRR=1.13, 95%CI: 1.05, 1.21), and 1m-PFOS (IRR=1.11, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.18) were associated with an increased risk of ADHD-like symptoms in 7-year-old children. Stratified analyses suggested potentially statistically significant associations in girls [e.g., for PFOA, boys vs. girls: 1.09 (0.96, 1.23) vs. 1.25 (1.09, 1.44), P-int=0.31]. The BKMR mixture model indicated that the risk of ADHD-like symptoms trended upward with increasing PFAS mixture concentrations, although this association was statistically significant only among girls (P < 0.05). Conclusion Prenatal PFAS exposure may be associated with an increased risk of ADHD-like symptoms in 7-year-old children, and this adverse association appears to be more prominent in girls.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):24-28
Objective:
To investigate the visual acuity and correction conditions of children and adolescents in Shanghai, so as to provide a scientific basis for developing intervention measures to prevent myopia and protect vision among children and adolescents.
Methods:
From October to December 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling survey was conducted, involving 47 034 students from 16 municipal districts in Shanghai, covering kindergartens (≥5 years), primary schools, middle schools, general high schools and vocational high schools. According to the Guidelines for Screening Refractive Errors in Primary and Secondary School Students, the Standard Logarithmic Visual acuity Chart was used to examine naked vision and corrected vision of students, and general information was collected. The distribution and severity of visual impairment in different age groups were analyzed, and χ 2 tests and multivariate Logistic regression were used to explore factors associated with visual impairment.
Results:
The detection rate of visual impairment among children and adolescents was 76.2%, with a higher rate among females (78.8%) than males ( 73.8 %), higher among Han ethic students ( 76.2 %) than minority students (71.2%), and higher among urban students (76.7%) than suburban students (75.8%), all with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=162.6, 10.4, 5.5, P <0.05). The rate of visual impairment initially decreased and then increased with age, reaching its lowest at age 7 (53.8%) and peaking at age 17 (89.6%) ( χ 2 trend = 3 467.0 , P <0.05). Severe visual impairment accounted for the majority, at 56.6%, and there was a positive correlation between the severity of visual impairment and age among children and adolescents ( r =0.45, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that age, BMI, gender, ethnicity and urban suburban status were associated with visual impairment ( OR =1.18, 1.01, 1.38 , 0.79, 0.88, P <0.05). Among those with moderate to severe visual impairment, the rate of spectacle lens usage was 62.8%, yet only 44.8 % of those who used spectacle lens had fully corrected visual acuity. Females (64.9%) had higher spectacle lens usage rates than males (60.6%), and general high school students had the highest spectacle lens usage (83.9%), and there were statistically significant differences in gender and academic stages ( χ 2=57.7, 4 592.8, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The rate of spectacle lens usage among students with moderate to severe visual impairment is relatively low, and even after using spectacle lens, some students still do not achieve adequate corrected visual acuity. Efforts should focus on enhancing public awareness of eye health and refractive correction and improving the accessibility of related health services.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of the mini-fluid challenge test in elderly orthope-dic patients for post-spinal anesthesia hypotension.Methods Seventy-two elderly patients who underwent elective hip or knee replacement surgery were rigorously screened according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.All patients were scheduled for subarachnoid block anesthesia.Subjects were grouped based on changes in blood pressure within 15 minutes of assuming a supine position following single-shot lumbar anesthesia.According to previ-ously established definitions of hypotension,they were categorized into either the hypotension group(H group)or the normal blood pressure group(N group).Prior to spinal anesthesia,a mini-fluid challenge test was conducted using noninvasive cardiac output monitoring to measure the change in stroke volume index(ΔSVI),and baseline circulatory data were recorded.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors influencing outcomes in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic joint replacement surgery.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves for ΔSVI were constructed,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate its predic-tive performance.Results After spinal anesthesia,29 patients(40.27%)experienced hypotension.Compared with Group N,patients in Group H who experienced hypotension within 15 minutes while in a supine position were signifi-cantly older,had a higher proportion of ASA grade III,and a higher prevalence of hypertension(P<0.05).The analysis results indicated that ΔSVI was an independent influencing factor for post-lumbar anesthesia hypotension in elderly patients.ΔSVI demonstrated a sensitivity of 82.8%and a specificity of 81.4%in predicting post-spinal anes-thesia hypotension(PSAH)at a cut-off value of 0.805 or greater.There was a moderate positive linear correlation between the maximum decrease in systolic blood pressure(SBP)and ΔSVI(r=0.562,P<0.01).Conclusion The mini-fluid challenge test is an effective method for predicting hypotension in elderly orthopedic patients following spinal anesthesia.

Objective To identify genetic regulators of ionizing radiation(IR)sensitivity through clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated nuclease 9(Cas9)genome-wide screening.Methods A specialized single guide RNA(sgRNA)library was developed targeting 987 stress-response regulatory genes identified through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG),Reactome and gene ontology(GO)databases,followed by construction of sgRNA plasmids and packaging into a lentiviral library.Using colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells as a model system,the Cas9-stable transgenic line was established via lentiviral transduction and antibiotic selection.Library-transduced cells underwent puromycin selection,followed by γ-irradiation(dose optimized via preliminary experiments).Post-irradiation phenotypic selection was conducted after 14 days,with subsequent next-generation sequencing of surviving cell populations to identify enriched/depleted sgRNAs.Candidate genes were functionally validated through orthogonal assays:cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)proliferation analysis,clonogenic survival assays and flow cytometric quantification of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and apoptotic markers.Results The optimized screening platform identified 281 radiation response genes(165 radiosensitive and 116 radioprotective candidates).Functional validation revealed Bcl2-associated athanogene 3(BAG3)knockdown significantly enhanced radioresistance.Proliferation was increased 1.2-1.5 fold,clonogenic survival improved 1.5-2.0 fold,and ROS was reduced by 13%-25%coupled with 32%-73%apoptosis attenuation compared to control groups.Conclusion The integrated CRISPR/Cas9 screening platform effectively identifies novel radiation response regulators,as evidenced by the discovery of BAG3 as a critical radiosensitivity determinant.This high-throughput functional genomics approach provides a robust methodology for systematically mapping molecular determinants of cellular radiation response,with potential applications in both mechanistic studies and therapeutic target discovery.

Objective:Measure the global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricle in trauma patients by beside speckle tracking echocardiography to explore the role of STE -GLS in evaluating left ventricular systolic function in trauma patients, and then explore the clinical value of GLS in judging the prognosis of trauma patients.Methods:Trauma patients admitted to intensive care unit from September 1, 2020 to April 1, 2021 with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) of ≥ 16 points. were consecutively enrolled. Moreover, those patients who met the following criteria were selected as the research subjects: aged between 18 and 80 years old, had no serious underlying diseases in the past, the time from trauma onset to admission was within 24 hours, and were able to complete an echocardiogram examination within 24 hours after the onset of the disease. Exclude patients who are unable to complete the ultrasound examination within 24 hours after the onset of the disease, or those with poor image quality, or those complicated with severe heart diseases and systemic comorbidities. The left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) was measured by bedside speckle tracking echocardiography. According to the GLS values they were divided into abnormal group (GLS> -15%) and normal group (GLS≤ -15%). Independent sample t-tests and chi-square tests were applied to conduct a comparative analysis of the clinical characteristics between the two groups of patients. Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between STE-GLS and the duration of intensive care unit stay.Results:A total of 32 trauma patients were eligible for this study. One patient was found to have abnormal left ventricular systolic function (LVEF<50%) detected by conventional echocardiography, however speckle tracking echocardiography detected decreased left ventricular systolic function (GLS> -15%) in 13 Patients. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the global longitudinal strain of left ventricle and serum high sensitivity troponin I were independent risk factors affecting the time of intensive care in trauma patients.Conclusions:Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is more sensitive than traditional echocardiography and can detect left ventricular systolic dysfunction early. STE-GLS is an independent risk factor affecting hospitalization time of trauma patients in intensive care unit. Clinically, STE-GLS and serum Hs-TnI can be combined to determine the prognosis of trauma patients.
