Background Prehospital emergency medical personnel (PEMP) are exposed to long-term high-pressure work, which can exacerbate psychological distress and impair job satisfaction and sleep quality. However, in-depth research on the interactions among these factors is lacking. Objective To assess the status of psychological distress, job satisfaction, and sleep quality of PEMP in Guangzhou and to explore the mediating role of sleep quality in the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction. Methods From February to May 2025, 1085 PEMP from "120" emergency network hospitals in Guangzhou were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected via the General Information Questionnaire, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0, and The mediation model of sleep quality in linking psychological distress and job satisfaction was constructed using AMOS 28.0. The bias-corrected Bootstrap method was employed to assessed the significance of the mediating effect. Results A total of 1063 valid responses were received (97.97% valid response rate). The mean scores were: psychological distress (27.99±10.75), job satisfaction (69.45±15.84), and sleep quality (9.82±4.47). Significant differences in the three scores were found across gender, age, monthly night shift frequency, and hospital grade (P<0.05). Higher job satisfaction was linked to lower psychological distress and better sleep quality and its dimensions, while psychological distress directly correlated with poorer sleep quality (P<0.01). Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction, with a mediating effect of −0.195, accounting for 43.62% of the total effect. Conclusion The participants report moderate psychological distress, moderate-to-high job satisfaction, and poor sleep quality. Psychological distress directly affects job satisfaction and indirectly through its impact on sleep quality. Interventions aimed at improving sleep health and mental health are essential to improve personnel well-being and work efficiency.

8.Association between screen time and anxiety-depression symptoms and their comorbidity among middle school students in Taiyuan City
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(7):980-984
Objective:
To investigate the association between screen time (ST) during leisure time and anxiety-depression symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide a basis for formulating relevant intervention measures.
Methods:
From November to December 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 542 students from junior and senior high school in Taiyuan City. A self designed questionnaire, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to investigate ST and anxiety/depression symptoms among middle school students. The Logistic regression model was used to explore the association of ST with symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as with anxiety and depression comorbiditles (CAD).
Results:
The detection rates of anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and CAD were 13.69%, 15.77%, and 10.11%, respectively. The median ST was 2.00 h/d [interquartile range ( IQR =2.38) for weekly averages], with 0.33 h/d ( IQR =1.67) on work days and 5.00 h/d ( IQR=5.50) on rest days. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the total ST of mobile phones during rest days ( OR =1.07, 1.10, 1.11) and the averages ST of mobile phones over a week ( OR = 1.20 , 1.22, 1.29), as well as the total ST of all screen types during rest days ( OR =1.04, 1.04, 1.05) and the averages ST of all screen types over a week ( OR =1.08, 1.09, 1.21) were positively correlated with anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and CAD (all P <0.01).
Conclusions
Among middle school students in Taiyuan City, screen time is positively correlated with symptoms of anxiety or depression and the comorbidity of anxiety and depression, especially smartphone screen time and weekend screen use. Therefore, measures should be implemented to reduce unnecessary screen time among middle school students, especially the use of mobile phones, in order to mitigate the occurrence of anxiety and depression.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors for multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection in patients with prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) complicated by ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in the intensive care unit (ICU), thus providing a reference for improving the clinical effect of VAP treatment in this region. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients who were admitted to the ICU in Shexian Branch of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”) from October 2022 to February 2025, received prolonged IMV, and developed VAP. The distribution and drug resistance of pathogens were statistically analyzed. Patients were divided into the MDRO group and the non-MDRO group according to whether an MDRO infection occurred. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen independent risk factors for MDRO infection. RESULTS A total of 281 pathogenic strains were cultured from 97 patients, including 262 Gram-negative bacteria (93.24%), 9 Gram-positive bacteria (3.20%), and 10 fungi (3.56%). The main Gram-negative bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter baumannii. The former two showed high resistance rates (all≥25%) to common antibiotics such as imipenem, while A. mail:64375689@qq.com baumannii demonstrated high resistance to most antimicrobial agents. The main Gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus subspecies aureus and S. haemolyticus, which were resistant to multiple antibiotics such as clindamycin (resistance rates all>30%). Among 281 pathogenic strains, 121 were MDRO, 62 were resistant to carbapenems, and 33 produced extended-spectrum β-lactamases. The serum albumin<28 g/L, ICU stay≥14 days, and use of benzodiazepines were independent risk factors for MDRO infection in patients with prolonged IMV and VAP in our hospital’s ICU (odds ratios were 3.289, 2.991 and 2.680, 95% confidence intervals were 1.183-9.144, 1.021-8.765, and 1.012- 7.094, respectively, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pathogens infecting patients with prolonged IMV and VAP in the ICU are mainly Gram-negative bacteria, with P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae subspecies pneumoniae and A. baumannii, accounting for a high proportion, and the drug resistance situation is severe. Serum albumin<28 g/L, ICU stay≥14 days, and use of benzodiazepines are independent risk factors for MDRO infection in such patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of DEAD-box helicase (DDX) 21 on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and its potential mechanisms.Methods:In vivo, adult male Bama pigs and C57BL/6J mice were used to establish a myocardial I/R injury model by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery, with sham-operated groups set as controls. The expression of DDX21 in myocardium after I/R injury was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blot, and immunofluorescence staining. Following the establishment of the myocardial I/R injury model in mice, AAV9 vectors with cardiac-specific expression were injected in situ into the peri-infarct region (The I/R+DDX21 group, I/R+negative control (NC) group, I/R+sh-NC group and I/R+sh-DDX21 group were injected with AAV9:cTnT-DDX21, AAV9:cTnT-NC, AAV9:cTnT-sh-NC and AAV9:cTnT-sh-DDX21, respectively). Additionally, the I/R+A-485 group received intraperitoneal injections of the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) binding protein inhibitor A-485, while the I/R+PBS group was injected with an equivalent volume of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as the control. Echocardiography was performed on postoperative days 1 and 28 to evaluate cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening). At 28 days post-surgery, mice were euthanized and heart tissues were harvested for histological sectioning. Myocardial fibrosis was evaluated using Masson′s trichrome staining. In vitro, primary cardiomyocytes were isolated from neonatal day 1 C57BL/6J mice using enzymatic digestion method. Cardiomyocytes were transfected with plasmids or small interfering RNA (siRNA). The cardiomyocytes transfected with DDX21-siRNA were assigned to the siDDX21 group, those transfected with the DDX21 plasmid were assigned to the DDX21 group, and those transfected with the corresponding empty plasmid or siRNA were assigned to the NC group. Additionally, cardiomyocytes were treated with A-485 (A-485 group) or PBS (PBS group). An oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model was used to simulate cellular injury. Transcriptome sequencing was performed to identify downstream mechanisms of DDX21. Differential gene expression analysis was conducted using software such as DESeq2, and alternative splicing events in the mRNA transcriptome were analyzed using rMATS software. Mitochondrial superoxide, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP content, and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex enzyme activity in cardiomyocytes were detected using immunofluorescence staining and commercial assay kits. The oxidative phosphorylation level of the cells was assessed by the Seahorse extracellular flux analyzer. Acetylated DDX21 levels were measured using co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot assays.Results:The expression levels of DDX21 in myocardium from the Bama pigs and mice in the I/R injury model were significantly higher than those in the sham group (all P<0.001). Echocardiographic results showed that at 28 days post-surgery, compared to the I/R+NC group, the I/R+DDX21 group exhibited higher left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening, while the I/R+sh-DDX21 group showed lower values; Masson staining results demonstrated that, compared to the I/R+NC group, the myocardial fibrosis area in the I/R+DDX21 group was significantly reduced, whereas it was significantly increased in the I/R+sh-DDX21 group (all P<0.001). Transcriptomic sequencing results suggested that DDX21 may influence myocardial injury by regulating mitochondrial metabolic activity. In vitro, compared to the OGD/R+NC group, the OGD/R+DDX21 group exhibited lower mitochondrial superoxide levels, higher polymer/monomer ratio, maximal oxygen consumption, reserve capacity, and ATP content. In contrast, the OGD/R+siDDX21 group showed the opposite results, with reduced activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V (all P<0.05). Mechanistically, rMATS software and other analyses indicated that knockdown of DDX21 affected the alternative 3′ splicing sites of ATP5J precursor mRNA, inhibiting the splicing of certain exonic sequences. Overexpression of DDX21 upregulated both mRNA and protein levels of ATP5J. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed that, compared to the PBS group, acetylated DDX21 levels were reduced in the A-485 group. Further in vivo experiments showed that, compared to the I/R+PBS group, the I/R+A-485 group exhibited higher left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening, and a lower proportion of left ventricular fibrosis (all P<0.001). Conclusions:DDX21 improves cardiomyocyte energy metabolism and alleviates I/R injury by regulating the alternative splicing of ATP5J. A-485 holds potential as a novel small molecule candidate for the treatment of myocardial injury.
