Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):70-74
Objective:
To understand the impact of childhood trauma on psychological distress among upper grade elemetary school students, and to explore the mediating role of leisure activities in the relationship, so as to provide a basis for developing mental health intervention strategies.
Methods:
From August to November 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was employed to recruit 1 373 fourth to sixth grade students from four primary schools in Harbin. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire(CTQ), a self designed leisure activity scale (including active and passive leisure activities), and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to assess childhood trauma experiences, leisure activities, and levels of psychological distress. Spearman correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were conducted to explore the relationships among childhood trauma, leisure types, leisure time, and psychological distress. Based on the mediation analysis framework proposed by Hayes (Model 4), the mediating role of leisure types in the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological distress was examined.
Results:
Totally 19.1% of the upper elemetary school students exhibited psychological distress, while 30.2% had experienced childhood trauma. During school days, 64.6% of the students were reported of having leisure time concentrated between 1 and 5 hours per day, whereas 67.4% reported leisure time exceeding 5 hours per day on weekends. After controlling for potential demographic confounders such as gender, grade, ethnicity, household registration, being an only child, parents educational level, co residence, and whether parents are first time married,linear regression analysis showed that childhood trauma experience had positive predictive effect on psychological distress in upper primary school students( β =0.20, P <0.01). Leisure time showed no statistically significant association with psychological distress, both on school days ( β =-0.58 to -0.56) and weekends ( β =0.26- 0.98 )(all P >0.05). Active leisure activities were negatively associated with psychological distress ( β =-0.20), while passive leisure activities were positively associated with psychological distress ( β =0.29)(both P <0.01). Leisure type partially mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological distress, accounting for 11.7% of the indirect effect.
Conclusion
Childhood trauma experiences positively predict psychological distress in upper elementary school students, and affect psychological distress through active leisure and passive leisure.

Diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia have emerged as global chronic metabolic disorders posing significant public health challenges. Edible medicinal plants demonstrate multitarget regulatory effects and favorable safety profiles in the management of chronic metabolic diseases, owing to their bioactive compounds and nutritional synergy. Radix Astragali (RA), a traditional Chinese medicine with medicine–food homology, has a long history of application in China. Based on a review of relevant literature, this article discusses the historical background, modern research, therapeutic functions, and mechanisms of RA in the treatment of chronic metabolic diseases. Modern studies have shown that RA contains a variety of bioactive components and demonstrates efficacy in managing diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. Its mechanisms of action involve modulation of the insulin signaling pathway, regulation of lipid metabolism-related enzyme activity, promotion of uric acid excretion, and other processes. Notably, RA exhibits certain common therapeutic effects across hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. Through modulation of the gut microbiota and inhibition of inflammatory pathways, RA exerts synergistic, multitarget effects that improve metabolic disorders associated with chronic metabolic diseases.

ObjectiveTo explore the anti-eczema efficacy and mechanism of Mongolian medicine Cymbaria dahurica n-butanol extract. MethodsThe compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Exactive MS) analysis and literature mining. GEO chip analysis and network pharmacology were employed to predict potential targets and pathways for the anti-eczema effect. Seventy-five mice were randomized into a normal group (10 mice) and a modeling group (65 mice). The model was induced by 1% dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) for 3 days. The modeled mice were grouped as follows: Positive drug (hydrocortisone butyrate cream, 250 mg·kg-1·d-1) and low-, medium-, and high-dose (95.94, 191.88, and 383.76 mg·kg-1·d-1, respectively) C. dahurica n-butanol extract, with 13 mice in each group. From day 5 of the experiment, 0.5% DNCB was applied, once every other day, until day 22. At the same time, drugs were applied daily from day 5. The appearance damage of back skin of mice in each group was analyzed. The pathological changes of the back skin of mice in each group were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and toluidine blue (TB) staining. The levels of inflammatory factors [histamine (HIS), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TFN-α)], thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Metabolomics analysis was performed for the mouse skin. The HaCaT cell model of eczema was induced with TNF-α/interferon-γ (IFN-γ). The secretion levels of IL-6, IL-8, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), and TSLP in the cell supernatant from each group were measured by ELISA, while the protein levels of phosphorylated (p)-Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), JAK2, p-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and STAT3 were assessed by Western blot. ResultsThrough UPLC-Q-Exactive MS and literature review, a total of 125 compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis showed that the anti-eczema mechanism of C. dahurica n-butanol extract may be related to the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the normal group, the modeling group exhibited redness, swelling, exudation, erosion, and scab formation on the back skin surface, and thickened dermis and epidermis with inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the modeling group, the positive drug and C. dahurica n-butanol alleviated the skin lesions (including redness, swelling, exudation, roughness, and keratosis and scab formation on the back), reduced the thickness of dermis and epidermis, mitigated inflammatory cell infiltration, and restored the skin tissue structure. Compared with the normal group, the modeling group showed elevated levels of HIS, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, TSLP, and IgE (P<0.05, P<0.01), which were reversed in the positive drug group and C. dahurica n-butanol extract groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The results of metabolomics analysis showed that 12 differential metabolites might be the key substances for mitigating metabolic disorders of the skin and were closely related to the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The cell experiement showed that compared with the normal group, the model group exhibited upregulated expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, MDC, TARC, TSLP, p-JAK2, p-STAT3, p-JAK2/JAK2, and p-STAT3/STAT3 in HaCaT cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, C. dahurica n-butanol extract and dexamethasone downregulated the expression levles of these molecules (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionC. dahurica n-butanol extract may play an anti-eczema role by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, reducing the inflammatory response, and correcting the metabolic disorder.

Objective:To compare and analyze the efficacy of bilateral and unilateral posterior vocal cord resection with CO 2 laser under endoscopy in the treatment of bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Methods:This case series study retrospectively analyzed the data of 110 patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis who underwent endoscopic CO 2 laser posterior cordotomy at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, from October 2016 to January 2023. The cohort consisted of 36 males [mean age (45.5±9.1) years, range 24-72 years] and 74 females [mean age (47.2±10.1) years, range 22-67 years]. Among them, 47 patients underwent simultaneous bilateral posterior cordotomy (bilateral cordotomy group), while 63 patients underwent unilateral posterior cordotomy (unilateral cordotomy group). Pre-and postoperative indicators, including swallowing function, glottal size, and vocal function (subjective and objective assessments), were compared between the two surgical approaches. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze changes in swallowing function, glottal size, and vocal function (subjective and objective assessments) within each group before and after surgery, whereas the Mann-Whitney U test was utilized to assess differences between groups. Results:Postoperative follow-up was 1-5 years [median follow-up time was 1.6 (1.3, 2.0) years].The one-time extubation rate was 71.4%(45/63)in the unilateral posterior vocal cord resection group and 87.2%(41/47)in the bilateral posterior vocal cord resection group, significantly higher in the bilateral group ( χ2=3.94, P<0.05). One week after surgery, the swallowing function score of unilateral cordotomy group was 2 (1, 2.5) points, which was significantly better than that of bilateral cordotomy group [2 (1.5, 3) points, Z=-2.118, P<0.05], and the swallowing function score of both groups returned to normal 3 months after surgery. There were no significant differences in preoperative glottic closure during inhalation, auditory perceptual evaluation (GRBAS), objective voice analysis, and Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) between the two groups ( P>0.05). Postoperatively, the maximum transverse diameter of the posterior glottis during inspiration in the unilateral cordotomy group was 4.49 (4.24, 4.77) mm, significantly smaller than that in the bilateral cordotomy group, which was 5.05 (4.52, 5.62) mm ( Z=-4.103, P<0.05). Among the GRBAS parameters, G (grade of hoarseness), B (breathiness), and A (asthenia), as well as VHI-10 scores and objective voice analysis parameters [jitter, shimmer, harmonic-noise ratio (HNR), and maximum phonation time (MPT)], were significantly better in the unilateral cordotomy group compared to the bilateral cordotomy group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Unilateral posterior vocal cord resection using CO 2 laser is simple and feasible for the treatment of bilateral vocal cord paralysis, with shorter recovery time, maximal preservation of laryngeal phonatory function, and fewer complications compared to bilateral resection. However, the one-time extubation rate is higher with bilateral resection, reducing the need for a second surgery and associated patient discomfort. This study offers guidance for clinical decision-making in the surgical management of bilateral vocal cord paralysis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and predictive indicators of children with recurrent simple febrile seizures, providing theoretical guidance for the early identification of such patients in clinical practice.Methods:This study is a single-center, retrospective analysis. It included 152 children with febrile seizures who were admitted to Department of Emergency, Hangzhou Children's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. Based on whether multiple episodes of simple febrile seizures occurred within 24 hours, the children were divided into a recurrent simple febrile seizure group ( n = 44) and a simple febrile seizure group ( n = 108). Demographic characteristics, clinical data, and laboratory test results were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression, correlation analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curves. Results:Among the 152 children with febrile seizures included in this study, 44 (28.95%) were diagnosed with recurrent simple febrile seizures. Children with recurrent simple febrile seizures had lower temperatures upon admission, were younger at the time of their first febrile seizure, and had a higher proportion of cases where the time interval from fever to seizure was < 12 hours ( t = 2.84, 4.25, 8.45, all P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that recurrent simple febrile seizures were negatively correlated with admission temperature and age at first febrile seizure ( r = -0.599, -0.609, both P < 0.001) and positively correlated with the time interval from fever to seizure ( r = 0.568, P = 0.004). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age at first febrile seizure and a time interval from fever to seizure of ≥ 12 hours were influential factors of recurrent simple febrile seizures ( OR = 2.864, 2.145, P = 0.004, 0.007). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that admission temperature, age at first febrile seizure, a time interval from fever to seizure of ≥ 12 hours, and their combination were all effective in detecting recurrent simple febrile seizures. However, the combined assessment had higher sensitivity and specificity than any single assessment, with a sensitivity of 88.60%, specificity of 89.80%, a cutoff value of 0.840, and an area under the curve of 0.886. Conclusions:Lower admission temperatures, younger age at the time of the first febrile seizure, and a time interval of < 12 hours from fever to seizure are associated with an increased likelihood of simple febrile seizures developing into recurrent simple febrile seizures.
