Abstract: Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of depressive symptoms among primary and middle school students in Xihu District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into depression control among primary and middle school students. Methods: Students were sampled from two primary schools, two junior high schools, two ordinary high schools and one vocational high school in Xihu District using a stratified cluster random sampling method from September to November, 2021. Participants' demographics, diet, exercise, sleep and campus bullying were collected using questionnaire surveys. The depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), and factors affecting the depressive symptoms were identified among primary and middle school students using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 518 students were investigated, including 518 primary school students (34.12%), 363 junior high school students (23.91%), 463 ordinary high school students (30.50%) and 174 vocational high school students (11.46%). Of all participants, there were 805 males (53.03%). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 38.87% among the participants, and was 36.10%, 42.42%, 42.33% and 30.46% among primary school, junior high school, ordinary high school and vocational high school students, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender (OR=1.601, 95%CI: 1.289-1.989), type of school (junior high school, OR=1.299, 95%CI: 0.974-1.734; ordinary high school, OR=1.351, 95%CI: 1.025-1.780; vocational high school, OR=0.862, 95%CI: 0.585-1.272), frequency of fresh vegetable intake (less than once daily, OR=0.454, 95%CI: 0.304-0.679; once and more daily, OR=0.359, 95%CI: 0.235-0.548), duration spent on the internet (0.5 to 1 h daily, OR=1.447, 95%CI: 1.044-2.006; 1 h and longer daily, OR=1.456, 95%CI: 1.072-1.978), sufficient sleep (OR=0.525, 95%CI: 0.371-0.744), suffering from campus bullying (OR=1.992, 95%CI: 1.491-2.661) were associated with the development of depressive symptoms.

Objective: To understand the current situation and influencing factors of sexual assault among middle school students, and to provide a basis for promoting healthy psychosocial environment for children and adolescents. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 471 middle school students in one city of Sichuan Province from April to May 2020 using multi stage stratified cluster sampling. Results: The proportion of middle school students who have been raped, indecent assault and sexual assault was 1.6%, 3.7% and 9.4%, respectively. About 23.8% of them had suffered two or more types of sexual assault; 75.1 % to 82.1% of sexual assault occurred between the ages of 9 and 15. Between 36.3% and 62.3% of sexual assault subjects were acquaintances of the same generation. Pornography exposure was the same risk factor for the three types of sexual assault (rape: OR= 9.93, 95%CI =3.09-27.57; sexual obscenity: OR=7.83, 95%CI =3.95-15.53; sexual harassment: OR=5.22, 95%CI= 3.52- 7.73, P <0.01). Low gender identity was the same risk factor for both suffering sexual obscenity and sexual harassment (sexual obscenity: OR=2.37, 95%CI =1.31-4.29; sexual harassment: OR=1.73, 95%CI=1.16-2.58, P <0.01). The long term absence of mothers was a risk factor for suffering sexual rape among middle school students ( OR=3.10, 95%CI =1.31-7.30), as well as father s sex education was a risk factor for suffering sexual obscenity among middle school students ( OR=2.52, 95%CI = 1.26 - 5.03 )( P <0.01). Conclusion Pornography exposure is the same risk factor for all types of sexual assault among middle school students. Low gender identity is the same risk factor for indecent assault and sexual harassment. Sexual education capabilities of families and schools should be improved, and attention should be paid to the gender identity and sexual mental health of middle school students.

Sympathetic cues via the adrenergic signaling critically regulate bone homeostasis and contribute to neurostress-induced bone loss, but the mechanisms and therapeutics remain incompletely elucidated. Here, we reveal an osteoclastogenesis-centered functionally important osteopenic pathogenesis under sympatho-adrenergic activation with characterized microRNA response and efficient therapeutics. We discovered that osteoclastic miR-21 was tightly regulated by sympatho-adrenergic cues downstream the β2-adrenergic receptor (β₂AR) signaling, critically modulated osteoclastogenesis in vivo by inhibiting programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4), and mediated detrimental effects of both isoproterenol (ISO) and chronic variable stress (CVS) on bone. Intriguingly, without affecting osteoblastic bone formation, bone protection against ISO and CVS was sufficiently achieved by a (D-Asp₈)-lipid nanoparticle-mediated targeted inhibition of osteoclastic miR-21 or by clinically relevant drugs to suppress osteoclastogenesis. Collectively, these results unravel a previously underdetermined molecular and functional paradigm that osteoclastogenesis crucially contributes to sympatho-adrenergic regulation of bone and establish multiple targeted therapeutic strategies to counteract osteopenias under stresses.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of allergic and infectious diseases in children， and to assess the influence of indoor and outdoor environmental factors on these two common diseases in children. Methods A questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of allergic and infectious diseases in 140 children of 7 years old in Laizhou Bay， Shandong Province. Logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between indoor and outdoor environmental factors and children’s allergic and infectious diseases， respectively. Results The prevalence of previous eczema and other allergic diseases for the past year in children was 37.9% and 15.0%， respectively， and the prevalence of infectious diseases for the past year was 35.7%. As for allergic diseases， eye irritation due to outdoor air （ OR =2.977； 95% CI ： 1.407‒6.296） and nose irritation due to outdoor air （ OR =5.147； 95% CI ： 1.272‒20.827） were the risk factors for previous eczema in children. Indoor musty taste increased the risks of urticaria （ OR =4.306； 95% CI ： 1.062‒17.454） and previous eczema （ OR =3.853； 95% CI ： 1.080‒13.743）. The use of cockroach killers indoors increased the risk of rhinitis （ OR =6.102； 95% CI ：1.297‒28.697）. As for infectious diseases， having outdoor pollution sources increased the risk of gastrointestinal infection （ OR =4.937； 95% CI ： 1.050‒23.216）， and the use of mosquito coils and clothing mothproofing agents increased the risks of respiratory （ OR =6.333； 95% CI ： 1.397‒28.714） and gastrointestinal infections （ OR =3.218； 95% CI ： 1.074‒9.644）， respectively. However， we did not find associations between indoor passive smoking and allergic or infectious diseases. Conclusion Except outdoor passive smoking， all the other indoor and outdoor environmental factors increase the risks of children’s allergies and infectious diseases.

Per-and polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs) are a group of persistent organic pollutants that are widespread in the environment and organisms. Given their unique hydrophobicity, oil-repellence, and chemical stability, PFASs are widely used in various industrial and commercial products. PFASs can accumulate and be biomagnified through the food chain, and its toxic effects have posed a certain threat to human health. The response of the immune system to PFASs exposure is one of the most sensitive human health effects, and has attracted remarkable attention from related scientists and organizations. We summarized international and domestic epidemiological studies on the associations between exposure to PFASs and immune system, including immunosuppression and immunoenhancement. We also reviewed experimental evidence of PFASs on immune system from perspectives of immune organs, immune cells, and cytokines. Furthermore, the possible mechanisms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α)-dependent, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-activated, and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways were summarized. While the relationships between PFASs and immune-related diseases in human are not yet conclusive, accumulative epidemiological studies provide evidence for associations between PFASs and reduced immune response to vaccination in children. In addition, previous studies mainly focus on the immunotoxicity of traditional PFASs, and our understanding of the molecular mechanism of the effects of PFASs on immune system is still in its infancy. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the immunotoxicity of new PFASs and associated mechanism.
