Objective:To analyze the multimorbidity trends and influencing factors of internet addiction and depressive symptoms among middle school students in Zhejiang Province.Methods:From 2018 to 2023, a multistage stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select middle school students aged 12 to 18 in Zhejiang Province. Internet addiction and depression status were measured by the Internet Addiction Scale and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. When both symptoms were present, it was defined as multimorbidity.The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of multimorbidity among middle school students, and a trend Chi-square test was used to analyze the changing trends of internet addiction, depression and multimorbidity prevalence. Results:A total of 193 505 students were included in the study. From 2018 to 2023, the prevalence of multimorbidity of internet addiction and depressive symptoms among middle school students ranged from 2.7% to 3.5%. The prevalence of internet addiction ranged from 4.7% to 6.0%, while the prevalence of depressive symptoms ranged from 18.7% to 25.1%. Multivariate logistic regression showed that boarding students ( OR=1.34 , 95% CI: 1.26-1.42), low-frequency ( OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.46-1.73), and high-frequency sugary drink consumption ( OR=3.91, 95% CI: 3.55-4.31) increased the risk of multimorbidity among middle school students. In contrast, higher frequencies of moderate-to-high-intensity exercise (medium: OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.50-0.58; high: OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.44-0.55) and sufficient sleep ( OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.49-0.56) were protective factors. From 2018 to 2023, there was no significant change in the trend of multimorbidity prevalence among middle school students ( χ2trend=3.82, P=0.051). The prevalence of internet addiction showed an upward trend ( χ2trend=20.54, P<0.001), while depressive symptoms showed a downward trend ( χ2trend=181.41, P<0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence of internet addiction and depression symptoms among middle school students in Zhejiang Province remains stable from 2018 to 2023. The prevalence of internet addiction shows an upward trend, while the prevalence of depression symptoms shows a downward trend. The risk of multimorbidity is related to students′ boarding, consumption of sugary drinks, lack of exercise, and insufficient sleep.

Objective:
To investigate the situation and influencing factors of school bullying experienced by primary and middle school students, so as to provide the basis for formulating school bullying intervention measures and promoting students' physical and mental health development.
Methods:
All the counties (cities, districts) in Zhejiang Province were stratified to urban and suburban areas, primary, junior high and senior high school students were selected using a stratified cluster sampling method. Basic information, lifestyle and school bullying were collected through questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting school bullying experienced by primary and middle school students were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 137 846 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.17%. There were 72 526 males (52.61%) and 65 320 females (47.39%). There were 47 561 primary school students (34.50%), 47 701 junior high school students (34.61%) and 42 584 senior high school students (30.89%). A total of 3 987 students suffered from school bullying, accounting for 2.89%. The proportions of being maliciously teased, being intentionally excluded from group activities/isolated, being teased about physical defects or appearance, being hit/kicked/pushed/shoved/locked in a room, being threatened, and being extorted for money were 2.04%, 1.18%, 1.11%, 0.86%, 0.84% and 0.83%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the students who were males (OR=1.122, 95%CI: 1.048-1.202), lived in suburban areas (OR=1.322, 95%CI: 1.233-1.418), lived in areas with medium (OR=1.086, 95%CI: 1.006-1.173) or underdeveloped (OR=1.298, 95%CI: 1.191-1.415) economic level, had higher academic levels (junior high school, OR=1.380, 95%CI: 1.270-1.499; senior high school, OR=1.210, 95%CI: 1.083-1.351), lived on campus (OR=1.489, 95%CI: 1.372-1.616), engaged in fights (OR=6.029, 95%CI: 5.585-6.509), attempted to smoke (OR=1.320, 95%CI: 1.128-1.545), drank (OR=1.735, 95%CI: 1.575-1.912), were scolded and beaten by parents (OR=1.972, 95%CI: 1.822-2.135) and were obese (OR=1.240, 95%CI: 1.132-1.360) were more likely to experience school bullying.
Conclusion
The harm of school bullying to the physical and mental health of primary and middle school students should be taken seriously, and active policy measures should be adopted to strengthen intervention.

Objective:To retrospectively seek any correlation between hemoglobin (Hb) levels and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), and to explore the value of Hb levels in PSCI diagnosis and prediction.Methods:The Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to sort elderly persons who had suffered a first stroke into a PSCI group showing cognitive impairment and a PSNCI group which was not cognitively impaired. Healthy counterparts undergoing physical examinations were selected into a healthy group. Everyone′s white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NC), lymphocyte count (LC), monocyte count (MONO), platelet count (PLT) and Hb, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were recorded. Monocyte to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratios (MHRs), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios (NLRs), and platelet to lymphocyte ratios (PLRs) were calculated. The differences among the three groups were compared seeking to identify risk factors predicting PSCI.Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, WBC, MONO, PLT, TG or MHR among the three groups, on average. But there were significant differences in NC, LC, Hb, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, NLR and PLR. Spearman correlation analysis showed that NC, NLR and PLR were negatively correlated with the average MMSE score, while LC, Hb, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C were positively correlated with it. Logistic regression analysis showed that a low level of Hb was an independent risk factor for PSCI for the elderly stroke survivors. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) for Hb was 0.794 for predicting PSCI in elderly stroke patients, with a maximum Youden index of 0.496. The critical value of Hb was estimated as 138.5g/L.Conclusions:Hb levels can significantly predict the cognitive functioning of elderly stroke survivors. An Hb level below 138.5g/L is an independent risk factor for PSCI, while higher Hb levels may indicate cognitive benefits.

This paper summarized Professor ZHOU Zhongying's experience in differentiating and treating hepatitis and liver cirrhosis from deficiency and excess. It is considered that the pathogenesis of hepatitis and liver cirrhosis belongs to deficiency in root and excess in branch, with depletion of liver, spleen and kidney as the root, and constraint and bind of damp-heat and stasis toxin as the branch. Moreover, mutual cause and promotion between deficiency and excess leads to the disease. For general principle of treatment, it is recommended to clear and transform pathogenic excess, supplement deficiency and rectify the healthy qi. In the early stage of hepatitis and cirrhosis, excess pathogen hyperactivity is the main manifestation, which can be treated by clearing and transforming damp-heat and stasis toxin, supplemented by regulating spleen and stomach, with modified Yinchenhao Decoction (茵陈蒿汤) and Biejiajian Pill (鳖甲煎丸). In the middle and late stages, cases with deficiency-excess complex were more common, which should be treated by clearing damp-heat and stasis toxin, regulating and supplementing liver-spleen-kidney, using medicinals with the function of clearing heat and dispelling damp, dissolving stasis and resolving toxins to treat the branch. Moreover, Liujunzi Decoction (六君子汤), Yiguan Decoction (一贯煎)plus Erzhi Pill (二至丸) and Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤) modifications are suggested respectively in correspondence to the different kinds of root deficiency including irregular liver and spleen, liver and kidney yin deficiency, and liver-spleen-kidney deficiency.
