Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(7):962-965
Objective:
To explore the relationship between life skills, psychological resilience and subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide evidence for targeted adolescent mental health education.
Methods:
From September to November, 2025, a total of 5 831 primary and secondary school students from five cities (Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Urumqi) were selected by convenience sampling. The Adolescent Subjective Well being Scale, School based Adolescents Life Skills Scale, and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale were used for investigation. Data were analyzed using t-tests, one way ANOVA, and linear regression.
Results:
The total mean score of students subjective well being was (5.46± 0.91) ; the total mean score of life skills was (3.69±0.64); the total mean score of psychological resilience was (3.66±0.69). Statistically significant differences in subjective well being scores were found among students grouped by gender, grade, school stage, residential city, living with parents or living with siblings ( t/F =4.14, 53.92, 14.53, 49.99, 13.49, 2.18, all P <0.01). Stratified regression analyses were performed by gender (adjusting for school stage, residential city and living arrangement) and by school stage (adjusting for gender, residential city and living arrangement), the regression results indicated that life skills of boys, girls, primary school students and junior high school students( β =0.54, 0.53, 0.50, 0.57) and their psychological resilience ( β = 0.56 , 0.60, 0.56, 0.60) were positively associated with subjective well being (all P <0.01).
Conclusions
Life skills and psychological resilience may be important protective factors for subjective well being among primary and secondary school students. School based mental health education should emphasize life skills training and resilience building to promote students subjective well being.
2.Status of subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students and its association with parental well being
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(9):1229-1233
Objective:
To explore the association between parental subjective well-being and subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide evidence for promoting adolescent mental health from a family perspective.
Methods:
From September to November 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to recruit 4 612 students in grades 4-8 from 12 primary and secondary schools in five cities—Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Urumqi—along with their parents. Students completed the Adolescent Well being Survey Questionnaire, while parents completed the Parental Well being Survey Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using t-test, one way analysis of variance, multiple linear regression, Logistic regression, and stratified subgroup analyses.
Results:
The maximum score of the subjective well-being scale for primary and secondary school students was 301, with a total score of (224.07±46.63), representing 74.4% of the full score; the maximum score of the parental subjective well-being scale was 120, with a total score of (92.35±15.10), representing 77.0%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that parental subjective well-being was positively associated with students overall subjective well-being, positive affect, and satisfaction in each domain (friendship, family, school, environment, freedom, and academics), and negatively associated with negative affect ( β =0.45, 0.08, 0.06, 0.07, 0.05, 0.04, 0.05, 0.04, -0.05, all P <0.01). Logistic regression and stratified analysis showed that parental subjective well-being was positively associated with students high subjective well-being ( OR =1.03), and the association existed in subgroups of different gender, grade and family structure ( OR =1.02-1.04) (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Parental subjective well-being is positively associated with students subjective well-being. Future interventions should incorporate an integrated strategy featuring family-school collaboration to promote adolescent well-being.
3.Evaluation of effectiveness of a family-school collaborative on sleep health intervention among fifth-grade primary school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(10):1395-1340
Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of a family-school collaborative intervention on sleep health among fifth-grade primary school students, so as to provide scientific evidence for promoting sleep health among primary school students.
Methods:
From April to June 2024, a baseline survey was conducted on 342 fifth-grade students and their parents from one primary school in a district of Beijing, using the convenient sampling method. A semester of sleep health education was implemented from September to December 2024, covering cognitive, behavioral and environmental factors that affected timely bedtime; and the program took various forms, including student courses, popular-science articles for parents, and personalized feedback reports. Another primary school in the same area was conveniently selected as the control group, where 313 fifth-grade students and their parents received routine health education. The subjects were assessed for their baseline and end-point (March to June 2025) sleep conditions using sleep diaries (222 participants in the intervention group and 225 in the control group) and accelerometers (120 participants in the intervention group and 88 in the control group), respectively. The independent samples t-test and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare characteristics between groups,and linear mixed models were employed to evaluate the intervention effects.
Results:
In the sleep diary evaluation, the intervention group had an earlier weekend wake up time and a smaller social jetlag than the control group at baseline ( t/Z =3.42, 7.21); in the accelerometer evaluation, the intervention group exhibited a smaller social jetlag than the control group at baseline ( Z =3.90) (all P <0.05). In the sleep diary evaluation, compared with the control group, the intervention group showed a reduced pre-to-post change in school-day bedtime ( β = -6.70), whereas the pre-to-post changes in school-day sleep duration, weekend wake-up time, weekend sleep duration, and average sleep duration were all increased at baseline and at the end ( β =8.41, 22.58, 27.03,13.74) (all P <0.05). In the accelerometer evaluation, compared with the control group, the intervention group showed reduced pre-to-post changes in school-day sleep onset time and school-day wake time ( β =-14.75, -6.24), whereas the pre-to-post change in school-day sleep duration increased at baseline and at the end ( β =8.01) (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
A family-school collaborative sleep health intervention may be an effective strategy for improving sleep among fifth-grade primary school students.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(2):255-259
Objective:
To analyze the trajectories of blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) among primary and secondary school students aged 7-17 in Shunyi District of Beijing, and to explore the association between different growth trajectories and visual outcomes, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of common diseases in children and adolescents.
Methods:
Health examination data (including vision, blood pressure and BMI) of primary and secondary school students in Shunyi District of Beijing from 2019 to 2023 were collected and analyzed. Group based trajectory modeling was used to classify the trajectories of BMI and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) into distinct groups among students aged 7-17 years. The relationship between these trajectories and visual outcomes was examined using binary Logistic regression analysis.
Results:
The prevalence of screening myopia among students in Shunyi District was 57.2%, while the rate of moderate to severe visual impairment was 55.8%. Based on the latent growth model, the trajectories of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and BMI were divided into three groups:low growth trajectory, moderate growth trajectory and high maintenance trajectory. Logistic regression analysis revealed that, compared to the low growth trajectory group, the moderate growth and high maintenance trajectory groups for systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and BMI were associated with an increased risk of screening myopia ( OR =1.14, 1.11; 1.07, 1.19 ; 1.06, 1.08, P <0.05). Similarly, the moderate growth and high maintenance trajectory groups for systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and BMI were similarly associated with an increased risk of moderate to severe visual impairment ( OR = 1.12 , 1.12; 1.09, 1.17; 1.08, 1.11, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Moderate growth and high maintenance trajectories of blood pressure and BMI are associated with an increased risk of screening myopia and moderate to severe visual impairment among students. It is recommended to closely monitor changes in blood pressure and overweight/obesity trajectories in primary and secondary school students, conduct regular assessments, and actively prevent the development and progression of multimorbidity and comorbidity.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):364-367
Objective:
To investigate the correlation between social jetlag and psychological behavior in upper primary school students,so as to provide reference for sleep health promotion in primary school students.
Methods:
From April to June 2024, a survey was conducted among 4 341 fourth and fifth grade students from 9 public primary schools in a district in Beijing. Sleep patterns were assessed using a self designed questionnaire, while psychological behavior was evaluated using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)(parent version). A generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was used to examine the association between different levels of social jetlag and psychological behavior problem scores in primary school students.
Results:
The proportions of students with social jetlag of <1.0, 1.0-<2.0, and ≥2.0 h were 57.6%, 30.6%, and 11.8%, respectively. The GEE model analysis found that after adjusting for covariates, compared with primary school students with social jetlag of <1.0 h, those with 1.0 -<2.0 and ≥2.0 h had higher scores for internalizing behavior problems [ β (95% CI ) =0.23(0.05-0.41),0.28(0.02-0.54), P < 0.01]. Primary school students with ≥2.0 h of social jetlag had higher scores for externalizing behavior problems [ β (95% CI )=0.42 (0.13-0.71), P <0.01]. Among boys and primary school students with an average nighttime sleep duration of ≥9 h, comparied with social jetlag of <1.0 h,those with sucial jetlag 1.0-<2.0 h had higher scores on internalizing and externalizing behavior problems[ β (95% CI )=0.32(0.07-0.56),0.51 (0.11-0.90), 0.26 (0.06-0.46),0.58 (0.25-0.91), P <0.05].
Conclusions
Greater social jetlag may be a risk factor for internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in upper primary school students. Reducing social jetlag may help decrease the occurrence of psychological behavior problems in primary school students.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(6):903-907
Objective:
To explore the association of screening myopia and sitting posture habits as well as screen viewing distance among primary school students, providing a scientific basis for myopia prevention and intervention among primary school students.
Methods:
From April to June 2024, a convenient sampling method was used to enroll 1 394 fourth grade students from four primary schools in a district of Beijing for vision examinations and questionnaire surveys. Logistic regression models were employed to analyze the relationship of screening myopia detection and sitting posture habits as well as viewing distance.
Results:
The screening myopia prevalence among primary school students was 63.8%. About 13.1% of students self reported poor sitting posture, and 47.1% selfreported a viewing distance of ≤20 cm. After adjusting for covariates including age, gender, school, sleep quality, parental myopia status, physical fitness level, daily high intensity physical activity, weekend outdoor activity time and types of after school services, Logistic regression analysis showed that students with poor sitting posture were more likely to have screening myopia than those with normal sitting posture ( OR =1.73,95% CI =1.03-2.92); students with a viewing distance of ≤20 cm were more likely to have screening myopia than those with a viewing distance of >20 cm( OR =1.32, 95% CI =1.02-1.71)( P <0.05). The association between sitting posture and screening myopia was more significant among boys( OR =2.00, 95% CI =1.03-3.88, P < 0.05 ). A multiplicative interaction was observed between sitting posture and viewing distance. Compared to primary school students with normal posture and a viewing distance of >20 cm, those with poor posture and a viewing distance of >20 cm were more likely to have screening myopia ( OR =1.82, 95% CI =1.12-2.96, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Both sitting posture habits and screen viewing distance are related to screening myopia in primary school students. Poor sitting posture poses a higher risk than screen distance, and the two factors exhibit an interactive effect on myopia risk.
7.Longitudinal associations between organophosphate esters exposure and blood pressure among school aged children in Beijing
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(4):560-564
Objective:
To explore the longitudinal association between organophosphate esters (OPEs) exposure and blood pressure in children, so as to provide a reference for identifying the effects of OPEs exposure on child health.
Methods:
A total of 404 children from the Beijing Child Growth and Health Cohort (PROC) were enrolled using a case cohort study design, baseline physical examination, urine collection, questionnaires survey were administered in 2018 and follow up surveys in 2019-2020 and 2023. Participants were divided into case group ( n =140) and control group ( n =264) according to the observation of new onset of high blood pressure during the follow up period. High performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect diethyl phosphate (DEP),bis (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (BCEP),bis (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate, (BCIPP), diphenyl phosphate(DPHP), dibutyl phosphate (DnBP), bis (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate(BDCIPP), bis(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate(BBOEP), bis (2-butoxyethyl) 2-hydroxyethyl phosphate (BBOEHEP), 4-hydroxyphenyl diphenyl phosphate (4-OH-TPHP). Generalized linear mixed models and Quantile g computation models were developed to analyze the longitudinal associations between OPEs individual/mixed exposure and blood pressure in children.
Results:
The detection range of 9 OPEs metabolites,including DEP, BCEP, BCIPP, DPHP, DnBP, BDCIPP, BBOEP, BBOEHEP and 4-OH-TPHP at three time points (baseline, first follow up and second follow up) were 27.7%-92.1%, 24.0%-99.3% and 39.2%-90.9% respectively. Without adjustment for covariates such as gender, age, body mass index, Tanner stage, parental education, and monthly household income, and family history of hypertension, the increase of BDCIPP concentration and mixed exposure of OPEs may reduce children s systolic blood pressure( β= -0.85,-2.40,95%CI=-1.69--0.01,-3.30--1.50,P <0.05). After adjusting for the covariates, the longitudinal association of individual OPEs or mixed exposure with pediatric BP was not statistically significant ( P >0.05).
Conclusion
Children are commonly exposed to OPEs, and although no significant longitudinal associations are observed between exposure to OPEs and blood pressure among school aged children in Beijing, it is recommended that child exposure should be minimized whenever possible.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(3):454-457
Objective:
To understand the public health emergency response capacity in primary and secondary schools, and to explore the problems and challenges in the prevention and control of public health emergency in primary and secondary schools for specific strategies.
Methods:
By using the stratified group sampling method, a questionnaire survey on general situation, knowledge, attitude and training, as well as public health emergencies response capacity among 2 988 teachers or leaders responsible for school emergency response in primary and secondary schools from Beijing, Chongqing and Yunnan.
Results:
Participants varied on their positions, titles, educational background and knowledge accuracy. Higher knowledge accuracy was associated with higher educational background ( χ 2=50.73-203.36, P < 0.05 ). The implementation of regular public health emergency related programs was poorly conducted in high schools (50.0%). Urban schools (42.0%) had higher proportion of qualified health care professionals than rural schools (18.2%), and private schools (48.5%) was higher than public schools (24.7%). The primary challenges included the shortage of guidance from professionals and the lack of related testing equipment (84.91%, 74.03%).
Conclusion
Although the ability of emergency handling of public health emergencies in schools in the three regions is advancing with the times, there are still many deficiencies, some omissions in the mastery of knowledge. It is suggested to inerease pre service and special training of school health work CDC should strengthen technical guidance and work supervision of infectious disease management in schools.

Objective:To investigate the differences in microbiological examination results between alcohol abuse and no alcohol abuse in adult ICU patients and the association between alcohol abuse and these differences.Methods:The adult patients with microbiological examination results were selected from the MIMIC-Ⅲ database and divided into two groups according to whether they had alcohol abuse. The two groups were matched by propensity score, and the similarities and differences in microbiological examination results were evaluated between the two groups after matching. The measurement data of non normal distribution were expressed by M ( Q1, Q3). Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for the comparison of the two groups, and the comparison of counting data was used χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability method. Results:After matching, the alcohol abuse patients were more likely to use mechanical ventilation (47.06% (1 379/2 930) vs. 52.66% (1 543/2 930), χ 2=18.14, P<0.001), had a higher positive rate in sputum samples (44.30% (400/903) vs. 49.41% (501/1 014), χ 2=4.81, P=0.028) and had a lower positive rate in other samples (26.85% (653/2 432) vs. 21.67% (541/2 496), χ 2=17.69, P<0.001). In blood samples, the percentage of Gram-negative bacteria was lower in the alcohol abuse group (26.87% (126/469) vs. 17.25% (74/429), χ 2=11.42, P<0.001), while the percentage of Gram-positive bacteria was higher (78.46% (368/469) vs. 86.01% (369/429), χ 2=8.17, P=0.004). The percentage of patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.75% (110/2 930) vs. 2.08% (61/2 930), χ 2=13.88, P<0.001) and Enterococcus sp. (8.19% (240/2 930) vs. 6.45% (189/2 930), χ 2=6.29, P=0.012) was lower in the alcohol abuse group. However, there was a higher percentage of patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (2.32% (68/2 930) vs. 3.28% (96/2 930), χ 2=4.57, P=0.032) and Haemophilus influenzae (1.30% (38/2 930) vs. 2.01% (59/2930), χ 2=4.19, P=0.041) in the alcohol abuse group. For Staphylococcus aureus (61.10% (322/527) and 52.66% (267/507), χ 2=7.16, P=0.007) and Enterococcus sp. (75.83% (160/211) and 63.64% (56/88), χ 2=4.02, P=0.045), the alcohol abuse group had a lower resistance to levofloxacin; for Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, the alcohol abuse group had a lower resistance to cephalosporins (all P<0.05). Conclusions:In adult ICU, alcohol abuse might increase the risks of using mechanical ventilation, and patients with alcohol abuse might be more prone to have respiratory tract infections. Alcohol abuse patients with blood infections were less likely to be infected with Gram-negative bacteria, but had a higher probability of Gram-positive bacteria infection. What is more, Alcohol abuse might increase the risks of infections with Haemophilus influenzae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In alcohol abuse patients, the infection of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus sp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae was less resistant to many antibiotics than that in no alcohol abuse patients.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the inhibitory effect of lanthanum chloride on the calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs)induced by high phosphorus and its mechanism. METHODS :On the basis of screening the action concentration and time of lanthanum chloride by MTT method ,human VSMCs were divided into control group (1 mmol/L phosphorus solution ), lanthanum chloride high concentration control group (1 mmol/L phosphorus solution+ 60 μmol/L lanthanum chloride),model group (3 mmol/L phosphorus solution ),sodium chloride group (3 mmol/L phosphorus solution+ 180 μmol/L sodium chloride),nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway agonist+lanthanum chloride group (3 mmol/L phosphorus solution+ 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide+ 60 μmol/L lanthanum chloride),positive control group (3 mmol/L phosphorus solution+ 100 μmol/L sodium pyrophosphate),and lanthanum chloride low ,medium,and high concentration groups (3 mmol/L phosphorus solution+ 15,30,60 μmol/L lanthanum chloride). Alizarin red S staining and Von Kossa staining were used to detect cell calcification in each group after treated with phosphorus solution for 6 d and relevant medicine for 2 d. Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression of TNF-α receptor associated protein 6(TRAF6),nuclear factor κB inhibitor protein α(IκBα),NF-κB p65,bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2),smooth muscle 22 α(SM22α)and Runt related transcription factor 2(Runx2). Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect mRNA expression of TRAF 6,IκBα,BMP-2,SM22α and Runx2. RESULTS : Compared with control group ,no cell calcification was observed in the lanthanum chloride high concentration control group ,while obvious cell calcification and significant increase of OD value were observed in model group and sodium chloride group (P< 0.01);protein and mRNA expression of TRAF 6 and BMP- 2 in cytoplasm as well as mRNA expression of Runx 2,protein expression of NF-κB p65 and Runx 2 in nucleus were significantly increased (P<0.01);protein and mRNA expression of IκBα and SM22α as well as protein expression of NF-κB p65 in cytoplasm were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,cell calcification was significantly improved in lanthanum chloride groups and positive control group ,while OD values were significantly reduced ;the expression levels of the above-mentioned protein and mRNA were reversed to varying degrees (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with lanthanum chloride high concentration group ,obvious cell calcification was observed in NF-κB signaling pathway agonist + lanthanum chloride group ,and OD value was significantly increased ;the above indexes were significantly reversed in cytoplasm and nucleus (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :Lanthanum chloride can inhibit the calcification of VSMCs induced by high phosphorus ,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway activation.
