Objective:
To explore the relationship between related factors of non-suicidal self-injury behavior (NSSI) among middle school students in Guizhou Province, so as to provide the evidence for preventing high risk behaviors in adolescents.
Methods:
A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 034 junior and senior middle school students from Zunyi City, Qiannan Prefecture and Tongren City in Guizhou Province from April to October in 2023. Questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information including Adolescent Self injury Scale and Family Assessment Device. The R 4.4.1 software was employed for network analysis visualization, centrality indicators, and result stability assessment.
Results:
The detection rate of NSSI behavior among middle school students in Guizhou province was 29.6%, with a detection rate of 25.5% for boys and 33.1% for girls, showing a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=7.07, P <0.05). There were statistically significant differences in scores of emotional communication, egoism, family rules, positive communication, problem solving, expression of positive emotions and management of negative emotions self-efficacy, and bullying victimization in various dimensions between middle school students with and without NSSI ( Z =-13.66 to -7.05, P <0.01). NSSI among middle school students was positively correlated with social/relational bullying, depression and anxiety, and there were relatively close connections in the network ( r =0.35, 0.43, 0.42, P <0.01). Centrality indicators showed that the highest in strength and closeness centrality were stress ( Z =1.29, 1.58), the highest in betweenness centrality was for emotional communication ( Z =1.91), and the highest in expected influence index was for physical bullying ( Z =1.44)( P < 0.05).
Conclusions
Stress, emotional communication and physical bullying have significant impacts in the network of factors related to NSSI. Social/relational bullying, depression and anxiety have strong direct correlations with NSSI behavior among middle school students.

To establish the amplification-refractory mutation system quantitative real-time PCR (ARMS-qPCR) method based on qPCR technique for detecting the c.2T>C mutation of SLC25A13 gene and validate its diagnostic performance. According to the principle of ARMS-qPCR primer design, the specific primers were designed for the conserved sequence of SLC25A13. The c.2T>C mutation ARMS-qPCR detection assay of SLC25A13 gene and the corresponding Sanger sequencing system were established through the use of the synthetic plasmids of homozygous mutation and 200 human peripheral blood specimens which were verified by Sanger sequencing as templates, and the diagnostic efficacy of the qPCR assay was validated by using nucleic acid extracted from another 200 human peripheral blood specimens and the results obtained were compared with the Sanger sequencing results as the gold standard, and the consistency of the two detection methods was analyzed. The results showed that the qPCR assay could accurately identify artificial plasmids carrying different mutations of SLC25A13 gene, and distinguish between wild type SLC25A13 gene and the c.2T>C mutation. This method was used to detect the mutation status of SLC25A13 c.2T>C in human peripheral blood, and the detection results were 100% consistent with the Sanger sequencing results. Among the 200 blood samples, 8 samples (4%) carried the c.2T>C mutation of SLC25A13 gene and 192 samples (96%) did not carry it. In conclusion, the ARMS-qPCR test established in this study can quickly, simply and accurately detect the c.2T>C mutation of SLC25A13 gene, which is helpful for the diagnosis of citrin deficiency (CD).
