Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):27-31
Objective:
To investigate the factors influencing the co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia, so as to provide a data foundation and theoretical basis for developing targeted intervention measures.
Methods:
In September and October 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 139 102 students from 539 schools across 12 leagues/cities and 103 banners/counties in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Participants who were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by a doctor at least once within one year and had a body mass index ≥ 28 kg/m 2 were considered to have comorbid conditions.
Results:
The coprevalence rate of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia was 6.4% (8 931 cases). Lasso-Logistic regression revealed that nonboarding status, higher maternal education, consuming high protein foods ≥1 time daily, occasionally or never eating breakfast, engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity for ≥60 minutes on fewer than half of holidays, and having been exposed to second hand smoke in person within the past seven days were associated with higher odds ratios for co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity( OR = 1.23 , 1.22-1.63, 1.20, 1.19, 1.38, 1.35); being female, higher grade level, residence in flag/county/district areas, non only child status, never having consumed a full glass of alcohol, non hypertensive status, and households without pets were associated with lower co-prevalence risks ( OR =0.65, 0.67-0.77, 0.81, 0.87, 0.73, 0.41, 0.68) (all P <0.05). The ROC curve indicated an area under the curve of 0.64 for the predictive model, demonstrating satisfactory discriminatory ability. The calibration curve showed consistency between predicted and actual occurrence probabilities.
Conclusions
The co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia is closely associated with demographic characteristics, dietary behaviours, and lifestyle habits. Future prevention and control strategies should prioritize these factors to implement targeted interventions.

Objective To investigate the awareness of radon exposure hazards among non-uranium miners in Chongqing, China. Methods A survey was conducted among 177 male miners from eight non-uranium metal mines in Chongqing to collect data on basic information, personal habits, and the rate of radon awareness. Factors affecting radon awareness were analyzed using chi-square test and logistic regression model. Results The awareness rate of radon among miners was 23.73%. The chi-square test indicated significant difference in the radon awareness rate among miners with different levels of education (χ2 = 10.28, P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference across different ages, years of work, labor relations, job categories, and types of miners (P > 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that a college (junior college) or higher level of education, a high school level of education, and working in mines were factors affecting the radon awareness among miners (χ2 = 4.030, 9.150, 11.776, P < 0.05). Conclusion Miners lack awareness of radon, and there is an urgent need to strengthen education and propaganda regarding the hazards of radon.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(5):619-623
Objective:
To explore the association between negative life events and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for prevention and intervention of smartphone addiction among middle school students.
Methods:
Using cluster sampling, 8 890 students were selected to survey from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 (baseline) and 2023 (followup). Data were collected through selfresigned questionnaires on basic information, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and the Adolescent Selfrating Life Events Checklist. Mixedeffects models were employed to analyze the association.
Results:
Compared to 2022, the punishment scores of middle school students in 2023 [1.00 (0.00, 6.00) and 1.00 (0.00, 6.00)] decreased (Z=4.27), while the scores of interpersonal stress, learning stress and adaptation [4.00(0.00, 8.00), 4.00(0.00, 8.00); 4.00(1.00, 8.00), 5.00(2.00, 9.00); 2.00 (0.00, 6.00), 3.00 (0.00, 7.00)] increased (Z=-3.04, -8.36, -6.80) (P<0.01). Mixedeffects models revealed a positive doseresponse relationship between negative life events and smartphone addiction (OR=1.08-1.17, P<0.01). Stepwise regression showed independent positive effects of interpersonal stress (OR=1.05), academic stress (OR=1.03), and adaptation stress (OR=1.11) on smartphone addiction (P<0.01). Subgroup analysis of nonaddicted students in 2022 confirmed persistent associations for academic stress (OR=1.03) and adaptation (OR=1.07) (P<0.01).
Conclusion
Negative life events exhibit a positive doseresponse relationship with smartphone addiction, particularly interpersonal stress, academic stress, and adaptationrelated events.
5.Longitudinal association between only-child status and smartphone addiction in middle school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(5):630-633
Objective:
To explore the longitudinal association between only-child status and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide a basis for establishing family intervention measures for smartphone addiction in middle school students.
Methods:
In October 2022 and October 2023, a preliminary survey and follow-up were conducted among 8 759 middle and high school students from 30 schools in a district of Shenzhen. A self-designed questionnaire was used to determine whether the students were the only-child, and the Chinese Version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (C-SAS-SV) was utilized to assess the students smartphone addiction status. A multilevel mixed-effects model and subgroup analysis were applied to examine the association between only-child status and smartphone addiction among middle school students.
Results:
During 2022 to 2023, the prevalence of smartphone addiction in the cohort of middle school students increased from 24.1% to 25.2%. Compared with only-child, non-only child were more likely to be addicted to smartphones (adjusted model: OR =1.2, 95% CI =1.1-1.4) and also scored higher on smartphone addiction (adjusted model: β =0.9, 95% CI =0.2-1.5)( P <0.05). Subgroup analysis further revealed that compared to baseline, non-only child demonstrated an increased prevalence of smartphone addiction (adjusted model: OR = 1.2 , 95% CI =1.0-1.5) and higher addiction scores (adjusted model: β =0.8, 95% CI =0.2-1.5) after one year( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Non-only child face higher risk of smartphone addiction. Under the current population policy, it is crucial to address smartphone addiction among middle school students who is not only child.
6.Longitudinal association between compulsive behaviour and smartphone addiction in middle school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(5):638-641
Objective:
To explore the potential causal association between adolescent compulsive behaviour and smartphone addiction based on longitudinal data, so as to provide reference for the establishment of adolescent smartphone addiction interventions.
Methods:
A preliminary survey and follow-up were conducted on 8 907 middle and high school students in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Compulsive behaviours were measured by using the Mental Health Inventory for Middle School Students-60 Items (MMHI-60), smartphone addiction was assessed by using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version ( SAS- SV), and the associations between compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction were analysed by using multilevel mixed-effects models and subgroup analyses.
Results:
Smartphone addiction detection rates among middle school students were significantly associated with genders, father s education level, mother s education level, study load subgroups, and whether or not they were single-parent families, and there were statistical differences ( χ 2=17.21-175.34, P <0.05). Students with compulsive behaviours were 2.98 times more likely to develop smartphone addiction than those without compulsive behaviours ( OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.77-3.22, P <0.05). Subgroup analysis of middle school students without smartphone addiction in the first year found that compulsive behaviours significantly predicted smartphone addiction ( OR= 1.76 , 95%CI=1.54-2.01, P <0.05).
Conclusion
There is a potential causal association between obsessive-compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction in middle school students, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours in middle school students could significantly predicted the occurrence of smartphone addiction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of video-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence on perioperative adverse outcomes in preschool children undergoing general anesthesia, including cooperation in anesthesia induction, perioperative anxiety, pain and agitation during recovery. MethodsA total of 300 preschool children scheduled for general anesthesia in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly assigned to control group (n=150) and intervention group (n=150). The control group received routine recovery care. For the intervention group, in addition to routine recovery care, a preoperative visit was scheduled one day before surgery. During this visit, mothers were guided to watch anesthesia videos with their children. During the waiting period in the operating room and 30 minutes after awakening, the mothers were guided to accompany the children for more than 30 minutes. Recovery conditions were recorded using the surgical anesthesia information system, and the children’s anesthetic induction compliance, perioperative anxiety, pain, and agitation were evaluated and recorded using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS), the Induction Compliance Scale (ICC), the Children’s Pain Behavior Scale (FLACC), and the Pediatric Agitation and Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED). ResultsOn the preoperative visit day, there were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (P > 0.05). For perioperative anxiety, the m-YPAS scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group, both when entering the operating room waiting area (35.27±6.48 vs. 41.79±6.68, P < 0.05) and 30 minutes after postoperative recovery (20.13±7.05 vs. 35.75±9.51, P < 0.05). In terms of anesthesia induction cooperation, the ICC scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group (1.84±0.95 vs. 3.17±0.62, P < 0.05), and the proportion of good induction cooperation was significantly higher than that of the control group (24.00% vs. 12.67%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in awakening duration between the two groups, but the intervention group had a significantly shorter length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit than the control group (0.90±0.29 hours vs. 1.29±0.42 hours, P < 0.001). For perioperative agitation, the PAED scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group (entering in the operating room waiting area: 8.5 vs. 9.2, P < 0.05; 30 minutes after postoperative recovery: 4.2 vs. 7.8, P < 0.05). In terms of pain scores, the FLACC scores of the intervention group were also significantly lower than those of the control group, both when entering the operating room waiting area ( 5.3 vs. 6.7, P < 0.05; 30 minutes after postoperative recovery: 2.1 vs. 4.9, P < 0.05). ConclusionsVideo-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence reduces the perioperative anxiety, pain and agitation of preschool children undergoing general anesthesia, and improved the compliance of anesthesia induction. It is recommended to promote this intervention measure in clinical practice.

Individual psychological factors serve as direct contributors to smartphone addiction in adolescents, and smartphone addiction also affects the individual mental well being. Research suggests that psychological factors such as anxiety and depression, social anxiety and loneliness, self control, sensation seeking, and mindfulness interact with adolescent smartphone addiction. The article reviews the research progress on the relationship between these individual psychological factors and adolescent smartphone addition, so as to provide a reference for understanding and addressing adolescent smartphone addiction from an individual psychological perspective.
9.Predictive value of TyG index combined with ESM-1 for postoperative ischemia in hypertension patients with concomitant CHD
Chinese Journal of Geriatric Heart Brain and Vessel Diseases 2025;27(9):1158-1163
Objective To explore the predictive value of triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index combined with endothelial cell specific molecule 1(ESM-1)for ischemic events in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and hypertension after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 208 hypertension patients with CHD undergoing PCI in the Second Cardiovascular Department of Shangqiu First People's Hospital from March 2021 to March 2024.According to the occurrence of ischemic events during 1 year after surgery,they were divided into an ischemic event group(31 cases)and a non-ischemic event group(177 cases).In 1 d after surgery,5 ml of fasting venous blood was collected to test fasting blood glucose(FBG),blood lipids,liver function,ESM-1 and other indicators,and TyG index was calculated.Multivari-ate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation of TyG index and ESM-1 with ischemic events after PCI in the patients.ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the value of TyG in-dex combined with ESM-1 in predicting ischemic events after PCI,and the AUC value was calcu-lated.Results The levels of FBG,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),triglyceride(TG),TyG index and ESM-1 were significantly higher,while the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)was obviously lower in the ischemic event group than the non-ischemic event group(P<0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hyperlipidemia,number of vessel disease,FBG,LDL-C,HDL-C,TG,TyG index and ESM-1 were independent risk factors for ischemic events in hypertension and CHD patients after PCI(P<0.05,P<0.01).ROC curve anal-ysis indicated that the AUC value of TyG index and ESM-1 combined together in predicting ische-mic events after PCI in hypertension patients with CHD was statistically higher than that of sin-gle indicator[0.861(95%CI:0.797-0.928)vs 0.746(95%CI:0.660-0.831)and 0.725(95%CI:0.622-0.827),P<0.01].Conclusion High TyG index and high ESM-1 level are independent risk factors for ischemic events after PCI in hypertension patients with CHD.The combination of two indicators has good efficiency for risk of ischemic events after PCI in the patients.

Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2025;32(10):764-768
Objective:To summarize the clinical data of single-center juvenile dermatomyositis(JDM)complicated with interstitial lung disease(ILD),and provide experience for pediatricians.Methods:Data of 61 children with JDM who were admitted to Children's Hospital affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2016 to May 2023 were collected. General data,clinical symptoms,chest high-resolution CT,laboratory examination and myositis antibody spectrum of the children were recorded.Results:Among the 61 children with JDM,there were 30 cases(13 males and 17 females)without ILD. The age of onset was 5.96(3.50,8.92)years and the course of disease was(11.79±20.00)months. There were 31 cases with ILD(14 males and 17 females),the age of onset was 7.42(4.50,10.08)years,and the duration of ILD was(5.47±8.09)months. There was statistical difference in the course of disease between the two groups( P<0.05),but no statistical difference in gender and age between the two groups( P>0.05). Among 61 children with JDM,there were statistical differences in fever between the two groups( P<0.05),but no statistical differences in heliotrope discoloration,gottron’s papules,calcinosis and myasthenia between the two groups( P>0.05). AST and FER showed statistical difference between the two groups( P<0.05),while CK,LDH,CK-MB,ESR,C3 and C4 showed no statistical difference( P>0.05). All 61 cases of children were tested for myositis antibody spectrum,and there was statistical difference in anti-MDA5 antibody between the two groups( P<0.05),but no statistical difference in the rest( P>0.05). There were statistical differences between the two groups in the treatment of methotrexate,hydroxychloroquine and cyclophosphamide( P<0.05). A total of 11 cases(36.67%)in the without ILD group were treated with biologics(8 adalimumab,2 infliximab and 1 tofacitinib),and 23 cases(74.19%)in the ILD group were treated with biologics(11 adalimumab,9 tofaciib,2 infliximab and 1 tocilizumab). All 61 cases with JDM were followed up. Among the 30 children without ILD,1 case was lost to follow-up 2 months after treatment,and the rest were treated effectively without death. Among the 31 children with ILD,3 cases died of severe pulmonary infection with multidrug-resistant bacteria during treatment,of which 1 case was positive for anti-MDA5 antibody and 2 cases were negative for myositis specific antibody. Conclusion:JDM is more likely to be complicated with ILD,fever is more likely to occur in ILD group,and children with positive anti-MDA5 antibody are more likely to occur ILD. Biologic agents such as adalimumab and tofacitinib are effective in combination therapy. In the course of treatment,multi-drug resistant bacteria infection should be guarded against to reduce mortality.
