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.

BACKGROUND: The role of inflammation in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has recently become a focus of research. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), novel indices, reflect the body's chronic immune-inflammatory state. This study aimed to investigate the associations between the SII or SIRI and GDM. METHODS: A prospective birth cohort study was conducted at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from February 2018 to December 2020, recruiting participants in their first trimester of pregnancy. Baseline SII and SIRI values were derived from routine clinical blood results, calculated as follows: SII = neutrophil (Neut) count × platelet (PLT) count/lymphocyte (Lymph) count, SIRI = Neut count × monocyte (Mono) count/Lymph count, with participants being grouped by quartiles of their SII or SIRI values. Participants were followed up for GDM with a 75-g, 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 weeks of gestation using the glucose thresholds of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG). Logistic regression was used to analyze the odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) for the the associations between SII, SIRI, and the risk of GDM. RESULTS: Among the 28,124 women included in the study, the average age was 31.8 ± 3.8 years, and 15.76% (4432/28,124) developed GDM. Higher SII and SIRI quartiles were correlated with increased GDM rates, with rates ranging from 12.26% (862/7031) in the lowest quartile to 20.10% (1413/7031) in the highest quartile for the SII ( Ptrend <0.001) and 11.92-19.31% for the SIRI ( Ptrend <0.001). The ORs (95% CIs) of the second, third, and fourth SII quartiles were 1.09 (0.98-1.21), 1.21 (1.09-1.34), and 1.39 (1.26-1.54), respectively. The SIRI findings paralleled the SII outcomes. For the second through fourth quartiles, the ORs (95% CIs) were 1.24 (1.12-1.38), 1.41 (1.27-1.57), and 1.64 (1.48-1.82), respectively. These associations were maintained in subgroup and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION The SII and SIRI are potential independent risk factors contributing to the onset of GDM.

Objective: To explore the impact of sleep quality, experience of childhood maltreatment, and their interaction on depressive symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide the reference for early intervention of depressive symptoms among middle school students. Methods: From September to December 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 231 students from two secondary schools in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province by a convenient sampling method. The survey included general demographic information, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Short Version of Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. The Chi square test was used to analyze the differences in depressive symptom, sleep quality and childhood maltreatment among students with different demographic characteristics. Correlation analysis was conducted using Logistic regression, and interaction analysis was performed by both additive and multiplicative interaction models. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among middle school students was 22.7%, and the rate for high school students (35.2%) was significantly higher than that for middle school students (17.0%) ( χ 2=50.35, P <0.01). The detection rates of depressive symptoms among middle school students with a history of childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality were 45.8% and 44.0%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to students without a history of childhood maltreatment, students with a history of childhood maltreatment had a higher risk of depressive symptoms ( OR =4.49，95% CI =3.31~ 6.09 , P <0.01);students with poor sleep quality had a higher risk of depressive symptoms than students with good sleep quality ( OR = 5.99，95% CI =4.37~8.22, P <0.01).The interaction results showed that the presence of childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality had an additive interaction on the occurrence of depression in middle school students. Compared with students without childhood maltreatment and having good sleep quality, students with childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality had a 22.49 times higher risk of developing depression ( OR =22.49，95% CI =14.22~35.59, P <0.01). Conclusion Depressive symptoms among middle school students are associated with childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality, and there is an additive interaction between childhood maltreatment and poor sleep quality on the impact of depressive symptoms.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of clustered vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks in Minhang District of Shanghai, to identify the influencing factors of outbreak scale and duration of epidemic, and to provide scientific evidence for further strengthening surveillance early-warning efforts in key settings and for optimizing prevention and control measures. MethodsThe data for describing epidemiological characteristics of clustered vomitting and diarrhea outbreaks in Minhang District from 2018 to 2023 were collected, multivariable logistic regression models were applied to analyze the influencing factors for epidemic scale,and Spearman rank correlation analyses were applied to analyze the factors duration. ResultsA total of 136 clustered vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks were reported in Minhang District from 2018 to 2023, all occurring in school settings, with an overall attack rate of 0.90%. The outbreaks exhibited distinct seasonality, predominantly occurring from October to December (43.38%) and March to May (32.35%). The primary settings were preschools (45.59%) and elementary schools (44.12%), with students accounted for the majority of cases (99.48%). The predominant clinical manifestation was vomiting (90.44%), with person-to-person contact being the primary transmission route (98.53%). Norovirus genogroup Ⅱ was identified as the main pathogen (71.32%). Standardized terminal disinfection of outbreak sites (OR=0.39, 95%CI=0.20‒0.74) and effective isolation of affected classes (OR=0.23, 95%CI=0.09‒0.57) were significant protective factors for reducing outbreak scale. Both response time (r=0.64, P<0.001) and the number of case generations (r=0.71, P<0.001) showed positive correlations with outbreak duration. ConclusionSchools are the key settings for the prevention and control of clustered vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks in Minhang District, with peak occurring in autumn and spring. Early detection, timely reporting, and prompt response to outbreaks are crucial. Strengthening school-based surveillance systems and standardizing outbreak management protocols are of particular importance.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a tumor characterized by immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and poor prognosis. Its complex immune evasion mechanisms are primarily related to T cell dysfunction and the suppression of anti-tumor immune responses. Immunotherapy aims to modulate the patient’s immune system to recognize and eliminate tumor cells, thereby achieving therapeutic goals. Studies have demonstrated that the TME plays a pivotal role in HNSCC pathogenesis, facilitating tumorigenesis, progression, and therapy resistance, ultimately contributing to adverse clinical outcomes. Advances in technology have deepened understanding of the TME, paving the way for novel therapeutic interventions in HNSCC. This review comprehensively summarizes the efficacy and safety of TME-targeted immunotherapies, integrating evidence from published clinical trials, while proposing insights for future research to develop more effective therapeutic strategies.

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 compare the clinical efficacy of high-dose tigecycline(TGC)and polymyxin B(PMB)in the treatment of pulmonary infection due to carbapenem-resistant organism(CRO).Methods Clinical data of pa-tients with CRO pulmonary infection and received PMB or high-dose TGC combined with other antimicrobial treat-ment regimens in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Xiangya Hospital,Central South University from January 2019 to March 2022 were analyzed retrospectively,including basic information,pathogen detection results,antimi-crobial use regimen,clinical efficacy,30-day mortality,bacterial clearance rate,etc.Results A total of 173 pa-tients were included in analysis,with 103 in the TGC group and 70 in the PMB group.Compared with TGC group,PMB group had a higher score of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)(25.0 vs 20.0,P＜0.001),but clinical efficacy rates were not statistically different(67.1％vs 52.4％,P=0.054).Stratified analysis revealed that when the APACHE Ⅱ score was ≥15 points,compared with TGC group(n=78),PMB group(n=66)had a higher APACHE Ⅱ score(27.0 vs 22.0,P=0.005)and a higher clinical efficacy rate(66.7％vs 47.4％,P=0.020).After adjusting confounding factors through logistic regression analysis,it was found that PMB treatment was a protective factor for clinical efficacy rate compared with TGC treatment.Conclusion For treating pulmonary infection caused by CRO in patients,PMB-based treatment regimen has a significant protec-tive effect on the clinical efficacy rate compared with the high-dose TGC-based treatment regimen.
