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.

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.
3.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.

Objective:
To investigate the changing trends for associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for preventing smartphone addiction in middle school students.
Methods:
From 2022 to 2023, a method of combining convenient sampling with cluster sampling was used to select 8 923 middle school students from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen City between September 2022 (baseline, T1) and September 2023 (follow up, T2). The Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), Patients Health Questionnaire-9 Item (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7) were administered to assess smartphone addiction, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mixed effects models were used to analyze the association of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students.
Results:
From September 2022 to September 2023, the reported prevalence of smartphone addiction increased from 24.22% to 25.25% ( χ 2=45.71); and smartphone addiction scores [ 24.00 (16.00, 32.00),25.00(16.00, 33.00)], anxiety symptom scores [2.00(0.00, 7.00),3.00(0.00, 7.00)] and depressive symptom scores[3.00(0.00, 8.00),5.00(0.00, 9.00)] all significantly increased ( Z =-17.43, -42.38, -41.57) (all P <0.05). There were statistically significant difference in the distribution of anxiety and depression symptom levels among middle school students in 2022 and 2023 ( χ 2=85.15, 106.85, both P <0.05). After adjusting for covariates such as age, gender and family background, mixed effects models revealed dose response associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students:mild anxiety symptom( OR =3.22), moderate to severe anxiety symptom ( OR =5.36), mild depressive symptom ( OR =3.32) and moderate to severe depressive symptom ( OR =6.13) were significantly associated with higher risks of smartphone addiction (all P <0.05). Interaction effect analysis found that co existing anxiety and depressive symptoms synergistically increased addiction risk by 5.60 times ( OR =5.60) compared to the asymptomatic group, with 32% of the combined risk attributable to their interaction ( S=1.64, AP =0.32)(both P < 0.05 ).
Conclusions
Anxiety and depressive symptoms are significantly associated with smartphone addiction, exhibiting a synergistic effect. Attention should be paid to emotional issues and smartphone addiction among middle school students.

Objective:To analyze the occurrence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias(VA)in elderly heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)and its influence on the prognosis.Methods:A total of 1 171 elderly patients with heart failure were included in this study.These patients were admitted to the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu from January 2017 to June 2020.They were divided into three groups: VA group(85 cases), HFrEF group(340 cases), and heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fracture(LVEF)group(340 cases).The division was based on the propensity score matching(PSM)method with a 1∶4∶4 ratio.The main outcome measure was major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in the three groups, which were followed up for 2 years.Results:After PSM, the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD), and left ventricular end systolic diameter(LVESD)of the LVEF normal group were significantly lower than those of the HFrEF group and VA group, while LVEF was significantly higher( P<0.05 for all).During a median follow-up of 22(17-25)months, a total of 219 cases(28.6%)of MACE occurred, including 30 cardiac deaths, 133 readmissions with worsening heart failure, and 56 cases of acute coronary syndrome.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the VA group had a significantly higher overall risk of MACE compared to the normal LVEF control group and LVEF reduced control group( χ2=6.213, P=0.012).Among the three groups, the VA group exhibited the highest risk of cardiogenic death and worsening heart failure readmission, surpassing the normal LVEF group and HFrEF group( χ2=4.143, 16.861, both P<0.05).The results of the multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that a history of VA( OR=1.317, 95% CI: 1.109-1.564, P=0.002), NT-proBNP( OR=2.138, 95% CI: 1.235-3.701, P=0.007), and LVEDD( OR=2.413, 95% CI: 1.134-5.135, P=0.022)were found to be associated with an increased risk of VA during hospitalization.Additionally, the multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that age >68 years( HR=1.723, 95% CI: 1.134-2.618, P=0.011), new VA occurrence( HR=2.346, 95% CI: 1.268-4.341, P=0.007), diabetes( HR=2.008, 95% CI: 1.135-3.553, P=0.017), NT-proBNP>1 957.3 ng/L( HR=2.734, 95% CI: 1.368-5.464, P=0.004), LVEF<35.0%( HR=2.265, 95% CI: 1.206-4.254, P=0.011), implantable cardioverter defibrillators( HR=0.887, 95% CI: 0.789-0.997, P=0.045), and sodium glucose co transporter 2(SGLT2)inhibitors usage( HR=0.904, 95% CI: 0.833-0.981, P=0.016)were identified as factors related to MACE. Conclusions:Patients diagnosed with VA have a significantly increased risk of MACE during the follow-up period.Several factors, including age, new VA occurrence, diabetes, NT-proBNP levels, LVEF, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and SGLT2 inhibitor usage, have been found to be associated with the risk of MACE during the follow-up.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and genetic mutation status of pulmonary intravascular large B cell lymphoma.Methods:The clinicopathological data of eight patients diagnosed with pulmonary intravascular large B cell lymphoma, from April 2018 to May 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. The genetic profile of six patients was detected via next-generation sequencing (NGS) and followed up.Results:All patients included one male and seven females, with a median age of 64 years (ranging from 45 to 66 years). Respiratory symptoms were the most common (7 cases), B symptoms in two cases, hemophagocytic syndrome in two cases. Multiple diffuse ground-glass opacities in both lungs were observed based on the high-resolution chest CT scan. Six cases of mild to moderate ventilation or diffusion dysfunction were observed based on the pulmonary function tests. Moreover, two cases of hypoxemia and two cases with type Ⅰ respiratory failure were recorded. The serum lactate dehydrogenase level increased (7/8), β2-MG level increased (2/8), neuron-specific enolase level increased (7/8), total number of peripheral blood lymphocytes decreased (7/8), and clinical stages were all stage Ⅳ. The neoplastic lymphoid cells were lodged in the lumina of venules and capillaries of the alveolar septum; the tumor cells were large, with prominent nucleoli and frequent mitotic figures. The malignant cells were detected in the extravascular surrounding lung tissue in all cases. The tumor cells expressed mature B cell-associated antigens CD20 and CD79a, and the vascular endothelial markers CD31 and CD34 showed that the tumor cells were filled in the blood vessels, infiltrated blood vessel walls, and perivascular areas. One case was germinal center-type, seven cases were non-germinal center-type, two cases were double-expressing lymphoma, and all cases were EBER-negative. Furthermore, the top five genes with mutation frequencies detected by NGS were MYD88 (5/6), PIM1 (5/6), CD79B (4/6), TCF3 (4/6), and TP53 (3/6). Of the eight cases, seven patients received R-CHOP-based chemotherapy, six cases had complete remission after chemotherapy, one case died, and one case was lost to follow-up.Conclusions:Pulmonary vascular large B cell lymphoma is rare, which shares similar patterns with interstitial lung disease on imaging. Transbronchial lung biopsy is an effective method to confirm the diagnosis. Immunochemotherapy with BTK inhibitors can provide a survival advantage for patients in the future based on molecular typing.

Objective:To compare the effect of delaying progression of myopia in children between defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) spectacle lens and orthokeratology.Methods:A nonrandomized controlled clinical study was conducted.A total of 390 children (390 eyes) with myopia who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to December 2020 were included, with the spherical equivalent (SER) of -0.75 to -6.00 D. According to the willingness of patients and patients' guardians, the subjects were divided into DIMS group, orthokeratology group and single-vision spectacle lens group, with 130 cases (130 eyes) in each group, wearing DIMS spectacle lenses, standard or astigmatic design orthokeratology and conventional single-vision full-correction aspheric spectacle lenses, respectively.The SER of the eyes was measured using an automatic computerized refractometer in combination with subjective refraction before and one year after lens wear, and the axial length (AL) of the eyes was measured using IOLMaster.A total of 327 patients in the three groups met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 107 in the DIMS group, 112 in the orthokeratology group, and 104 in the single-vision spectacle lens group.All the right eyes were included in this study.The changes in SER and AL before and after wearing lenses for 1 year were compared among the three groups.The relationship between AL and SER changes and baseline data in the DIMS group was evaluated by Pearson linear correlation analysis.The study followed the Declaration of Helsinki, and the study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2023-KY-0174-002). The subjects and their guardians were fully aware of the purpose and methodology of the study, and voluntarily signed an informed consent form.Results:There were statistically significant overall differences in SER and AL at different time points among the three groups (SER: Fgroup=7.065, P=0.009; Ftime=183.730, P<0.001.AL: Fgroup=6.151, P=0.014; Ftime=175.290, P<0.001). One year later, the differences in SER and AL changes among the three groups were statistically significant ( F=7.065, P=0.009; F=6.151, P=0.014). The SER and AL of each group after 1 year was greater than the baseline, with the SER and AL and their changes significantly smaller in orthokeratology group and DIMS group than in single-vision spectacle lens group and greater in DIMS group than in orthokeratology group, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). Compared with single-vision spectacle lenses, wearing orthokeratology for 1 year can inhibit SER and AL progression by 58.3% and 59.0%, and wearing DIMS frame glasses for 1 year can inhibit SER and AL progression by 46.9% and 43.6%.The percentage of eyes with no change in SER was 5.77%(6/104), 24.11%(27/112) and 17.76%(19/107) in the single-vision spectacle lens group, orthokeratology group and DIMS group, respectively, and the percentage of AL was 0.00%(0/104), 8.93%(10/112) and 7.48%(8/107), respectively, showing statistically significant differences among the three groups ( χ2=9.316, 8.676; both at P<0.001). The AL change in the DIMS group was weakly negatively correlated with age ( r=-0.252, P=0.006). Conclusions:Wearing DIMS spectacle lenses is not as effective as orthokeratology in delaying myopia in children, but it is significantly better than wearing conventional single-vision spectacle lenses.
