1.Impact of adverse childhood experiences and psychological symptoms on health risk behaviors among college students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(3):398-402
Objective:
To explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health risk behaviors (HRBs) among college students and the mediating role of psychological symptoms, so as to provide a basis for developing intervention strategies.
Methods:
From March to April 2023, a convenience cluster sample of 1 801 students from 12 universities in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, Wuzhou of Guangxi completed an online survey. A self designed questionnaire, Adverse Childhood Experiences-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were used for evaluation tools. Binary Logistic regression, structural equation modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap methods were used to analyze the associations and mediating effects.
Results:
Overall, 71.2% of college students experienced at least one type of ACE, with emotional neglect (40.3%) and emotional abuse ( 25.2 %) having the highest detection rates. The top three HRBs were unhealthy diet (77.8%), physical inactivity (54.1%), and smoking/alcohol use (18.5%). Logistic regression showed that poor family functioning, abuse, and extra familial violence were each associated with an increased risk of smoking/alcohol use ( OR =1.14, 1.11, 1.18) and deliberate self harm ( OR =1.26, 1.19,1.30) (all P <0.05). Experience of abuse increased the risk of high risk sexual behavior and family dysfunction increaded the risk of physical inactivity, respectively ( OR = 1.07 , 1.04, both P <0.05). Mediation analysis revealed that anxiety ( β =0.20) and depression ( β = 0.09 ) partially mediated the pathway from poor family functioning to deliberate self harm; paranoia ( β =0.02) partially mediated the pathway from abuse to high risk sexual behavior; and obsessive-compulsive symptoms ( β =0.26) and depression ( β =0.10) partially mediated the pathway from extra familial violence to deliberate self harm (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Psychological symptoms play a mediating role in the association between ACEs and HRBs, and mental health interventions may reduce the risk of HRBs among college students.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate risk prediction models for chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in pediatric patients with malignant tumors, evaluate their modeling strategies, key predictors, and predictive performance, and provide evidence-based references for clinical decision-making and research. METHODS A literature search was conducted across 11 databases, including CNKI, Wanfang Data, and PubMed, for relevant studies published before April 2025. Two reviewers independently performed literature screening and data extraction, and the risk of bias and applicability of the models were evaluated using the PROBAST tool. RESULTS Ultimately, seven studies were selected, of which four were English articles and three were Chinese articles, involving 12 risk prediction models. Although model discrimination was good (AUC 0.748-0.981), only two models underwent external validation; furthermore, calibration was inadequately reported in three studies. PROBAST indicated that all models exhibited a high risk of bias, with major issues including a predominance of retrospective designs, inadequate sample representativeness, and lack of blinding. However, in terms of applicability, all models received favorable evaluations. In terms of modeling methods, most studies employed traditional logistic regression approaches to construct models, while only a minority introduced machine learning algorithms and conducted systematic comparisons among multiple algorithms. Models developed using machine learning methods significantly outperformed those constructed with traditional statistical methods. CONCLUSIONS The existing risk prediction models for myelosuppression after chemotherapy in children with malignant tumors demonstrate potential in clinical risk early warning. However, they generally suffer from design and methodological limitations, such as a predominance of retrospective single-center designs, few events per variable, opaque handling of missing data, and inconsistent reporting of model coefficients. Future studies should adopt prospective designs, incorporate machine learning with key clinical predictors, and follow TRIPOD reporting guidelines to enhance scientific rigor and clinical utility.

Objectives:
Hypoparathyroidism (HP) is a rare endocrine disorder caused by parathyroid hormone (PTH) defi ciency. The PTH is a candidate gene for familial isolated hypoparathyroidism (FIH). This study aimed to investigate the pathogenicity of two novel rare variants (RVs) ofPTH through in vitro functional study.
Methods:
Targeted next-generation sequencing was used to identify candidate gene mutations. Clinical data were retrospectively collected. Wild-type (WT) PTH was used as a template for site-directed mutagenesis to create mutant eukaryotic expression plasmids, which were transfected into cells. Treated with or without 4-phenylbu tyric acid (4-PBA), the levels of intact PTH (iPTH) and PTH (1-84) were measured by chemiluminescence, and protein expression was assessed using Western blotting.
Results:
Two patients carrying PTH mutations (c.154G > A: p.Val52Ile, c.270G > T: p.Leu90Phe) were identified.Patient 1, a 45-year-old male, presented with carpal and pedal numbness, muscle cramps, and low serum calcium (1.29 mmol/L). Patient 2, a 12-year-old female, had muscle twitches, convulsions, low calcium (1.50 mmol/L), and iPTH of 4 pg/mL. The iPTH or PTH (1-84) levels in the medium transfected with mutant Val52Ile and Leu90Phe PTH decreased by 31%–38%, and 51%–96% compared to WT (allP < 0.05), which were not rescued by 4-PBA. No significant changes in intracellular PTH expression were observed.
Conclusions
In this study, two novel RVs of PTH(Val52Ile and Leu90Phe) were identified that may impair hormone synthesis and secretion. Our study has broadened the mutation spectrum of the PTH and shed light on potential mechanisms underlying FIH.
