Objective: To investigate the association between different digital media usage types and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide a scientific reference for making precise mental health prevention and intervention strategies for adolescents. Methods: In October 2024, a convenience cluster sample of 3 225 students was collected from 2 junior high schools and 2 senior high schools in Shenyang City. Participants were investigated for its daily usage duration of various digital media types and depressive symptoms. Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to examine trend in depressive symptom detection rates across digital media usage types. Multivariate Logistic regression model was employed to assess associations, with stratified analyses by gender and educational stage. Results: The daily usage durations for educational/learning, social/chatting, gaming, and video/music/novel digital media were 30.0(12.1, 60.0), 22.9(9.3, 50.0), 17.1(0.0, 50.0), and 22.9(8.6, 55.7) minutes for junior and senior high school students, respectively. The detection rate of depressive symptoms was 46.1%. Among them, the detection rate of depressive symptoms of girls (49.8%) was higher than that of boys (42.3%), and that of senior high school students (53.2%) was higher than that of junior high school students (39.7%), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2= 18.35, 59.02, both P <0.01). Cochran-Armitage trend test revealed significant upward trends in depressive symptom detection rates with increasing usage of non educational digital media (social/chatting: Z =4.77; gaming: Z =3.24; video/music/novel: Z =7.30, all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that, compared to usage <1 h/d, using social/chatting digital media for 1-<2 h/d ( OR =1.66), 2-<3 h/d ( OR =1.80), and ≥3 h/d ( OR =2.68), gaming for 1-<2 h/d ( OR =1.48), 2-<3 h/d ( OR =1.90), and ≥3 h/d ( OR =2.93), and video/music/novel for 1-<2 h/d ( OR =1.76), 2-<3 h/d ( OR =2.00), and ≥3 h/d ( OR = 3.48) were all significantly associated with increased risks of depressive symptoms (all P <0.01). Conclusions Excessive use of non-educational digital media is a risk factor for depressive symptoms in adolescents. Regulating usage duration is beneficial for promoting adolescent mental health.

Objective To construct a preoperative objective index-based model for predicting the mortality risk of aortic dissection, aiming to provide a quick risk assessment tool for primary healthcare. Methods The patients with aortic dissection from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-Ⅳ) database between 2008 and 2019 were included. These patients were randomly divided into a training set, a validation set, and a test set at a ratio of 7:2:1. Based on the Akaike information criterion (AIC), forward regression was used to select the risk factors for patients with post-dissection mortality, and the XGBoost algorithm was employed to establish the prediction model. The SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) theory was used for interpretive analysis. Results Out of the 271 patients of aortic dissection, 158 were males and 113 were females, with a median age of 70.3 (58.8, 79.5) years. The training set, validation set, and test set consisted of 189, 54, and 28 patients, respectively. During the follow-up period, 99 (36.5%) deaths occurred. Forward stepwise regression based on the AIC, clinical relevance assessment and literature review, was employed to identify 18 preoperative independent predictors. An XGBoost prediction model was constructed accordingly. After grid search optimization, the model demonstrated good discrimination in both the validation set [area under the curve (AUC)=0.681] and the test set (AUC=0.735). The SHAP analysis indicated that age (mean |SHAP|=0.081), activated partial thromboplastin time (mean |SHAP|=0.065), and red cell distribution width (mean |SHAP|=0.038) were the top three predictive contributors. Conclusion The aortic dissection mortality risk prediction model constructed based on the XGBoost algorithm can effectively predict the incidence of mortality outcomes. Characteristic indicators such as age, activated partial thromboplastin time, and red cell distribution width can assist clinicians in identifying high-risk patients, making triage referral decisions, and optimizing preoperative interventions within the golden time window, ultimately aiming to reduce the mortality rate of patients with aortic dissection.

Objective: To analyze the association of mother-child interaction and screen exposure of preschool children with psychological and behavioural problems, so as to provide guidance for promoting the psychological development of preschool children. Methods: From November to December 2024, a convenience cluster sampling method was used to survey 2 977 mothers of preschool children in Daguan and Yingjiang districts of Anqing City. The Chinese Parent-Child Interaction Scale (CPCIS) was applied to evaluate the quality of mother-child interaction, and the Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) was used to assess the psychological and behavioral problems of preschool children. Binary Logistic regression was applied to analyze the association of mother-child interaction, screen exposure and their combined effect on psychological and behavioral problems among preschool children. Results: The detection rate of psychological and behavioral problems among preschool children was 13.9%. Binary Logistic regression results showed that low scores of mother-child interaction ( OR=2.31, 95%CI =1.72-3.11) and high screen exposure ( OR= 1.52 , 95%CI =1.23-1.88) were higher risks for psychological and behavioral problems in preschool children; the results of the combined effect showed that preschool children in low scores of mother-child interaction and low screen exposure group ( OR=2.18, 95%CI =1.46-3.28), low scores of mother-child interaction and high screen exposure group ( OR=3.13, 95%CI =2.10- 4.65 ) had significantly higher risks of abnormal detection in psychological and behavioral problems, compared to those in the high scores of mother-child interaction and low screen exposure group respectively (all P <0.05). Conclusions Both screen exposure and mother- child interaction are associated with psychological and behavioral problems in preschool children. High quality mother-child interaction can relieve the adverse effects of screen exposure on preschool children s psychological and behavioral development.

Objective : To characterize MMP12 as a pan-cancer marker and assess its screening value as a tumor serum marker. Methods : Bioinformatics tools such as GEPIA2,GSCA,cBioPortal,and GeneMANIA were used to analyze the pan-cancer features of MMP12 in TCGA datasets,including encompassing differential gene expression analysis,prognostic analysis,DNA methylation analysis,gene structural variation analysis and immune microenvironment analysis.Furthermore,serum samples we collected from patients with lung adenocarcinoma,breast invasive carcinoma,esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,stomach adenocarcinoma,liver hepatocellular carcinoma,and healthy individuals.ELISA was used to detect MMP12 expression in serum,and the screening performance was evaluated using the area under the ROC curve.Additionally,we followed up 28 ESCC patients and compared serum MMP12 levels between 19 patients with disease progression and 9 patients with stable disease. Results: The pancancer feature analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between MMP12 mRNA expression and its promoter DNA methylation(P<0.05),as well as a positive correlation with gene copy number variations(P<0.05).MMP12 mRNA expression was up-regulated in 14 cancer tissues compared to normal tissues next to cancer(P<0.05) and was associated with poor prognosis of cancer patients(P<0.05).Immunocorrelation analysis showed that MMP12 was significantly associated with immunity,infiltration of stromal cells,tumor mutational burden(TMB) and microsatellite instability(MSI)(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis indicated that MMP12 could serve as a potential biomarker for screening lung adenocarcinoma,breast invasive carcinoma,esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,stomach adenocarcinoma,and liver hepatocellular carcinoma.In a 30-month follow-up study of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients,the expression of MMP12 was higher in the disease progression group than that in the stable group. Conclusion MMP12 serves as a potential prognostic and screening marker of pan-cancer.
