Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):70-74
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.

This article summarized the current status and challenges of manipulation therapy for musculoskeletal pain and its placebo effect in clinical trials, analyzing the impact of the placebo effect on the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy. The efficacy of different manual manipulation techniques remains uncertain, and the degree of blinding and patient expectations play a crucial role in efficacy assessment. The article suggested improving trial design through standardized placebo intervention design, comprehensive investigation of patient expectations and psychological states, rigorous training of practitioners, and optimized diagnostic and treatment scenarios and doctor-patient relationship, to ensure consistency between intervention and placebo groups. Specific measures include the application of the DITTO (Deconstruct, Identify, Take out, Think, Optimize) framework, the use of standardized questionnaire tools, and multi-center, large-sample randomized controlled trials to enhance the external validity and statistical power of research results, thereby providing more scientifically reliable evidence for clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the related risk factors of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) by constructing and comparing nine regression models.Methods:All NEC patients admitted to the neonatal internal medicine department, neonatal surgery department, and neonatal intensive care unit of Shanxi Provincial Children's Hospital (Shanxi Provincial Maternity and Child Health Center) from 2020 to 2022 were included as the case group. A control group consisted of children admitted during the same period based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The NEC data collected were used for feature selection by using the Boruta algorithm. Logistic regression, multi-decision tree gradient boosting, efficient gradient one-sided sampling, random forest, decision tree, gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), neural network, support vector machine, and K-nearest neighbor models were constructed. The optimal model was selected through rigorous comparison and Shap explainable analysis was performed on the GBDT model.Results:Thirteen key factors were identified through screening for nine regression models construction. After strict comparison and analysis, the GBDT model showed higher stability compared with other eight regression models. In the validation set, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the GBDT model was 0.958, with an accuracy of 0.925, and sensitivity and specificity of 0.827 and 0.950, respectively. Shap explainable analysis on the GBDT model revealed that suffering from anemia, non-invasive ventilator use, procalcitonin use, premature birth, and low birth weight increased the risk for NEC, while breastfeeding and probiotics decreased the risk for NEC.Conclusion:This study identified the risk factors and protective factors for NEC by using the GBDT model, which provided evidnce for the prevention and treatment of NEC.

Objective:To explore the level of positive psychological capital and its trends in traumatic lower limb amputation patients during the 15 months after surgery, and to identify the time period when the patients' level of positive psychological capital is weak, so as to provide a basis for interventions.Methods:This study was a prospective longitudinal study. Convenience sampling was used to select 143 patients with traumatic lower limb amputation admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to November 2022 for the study. General information questionnaire, Positive Psychological-Capital Questionnaire (PPQ) were used on the third postoperative day (T1) , on the day of discharge (T2) , 1 month (T3) , 2 months (T4) , 3 months (T5) , 6 months (T6) , 9 months (T7) , 12 months (T8) , and 15 months (T9) after discharge for a total of nine time points to administer the questionnaire to the patients. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA and plotting of results were performed on the nine time-point data using Graph Pad prism 9.5 software and SPSS 21.0 software, and the data were compared two-by-two using the Bonferroni multiple comparison test.Results:There were 143, 139, 132, 129, 122, 120, 119, 118, and 116 patients who participated in the survey from T1 to T9 time points, with a loss to follow-up rate of 18.88% (27/143) . PPQ scores of 116 traumatic lower limb amputation patients at nine time points were (103.25±9.03) , (108.53±9.32) , (104.38±9.60) , (99.71±9.61) , (95.82±9.55) , (91.49±9.41) , (93.34±9.29) , (93.53±9.14) , (93.62±9.05) , and the mean PPQ scores were lower than the theoretical mean (104) at all time points except T2 and T3 time points. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA showed that the difference in the change in the level of positive psychological capital of patients after traumatic lower limb amputation from postoperative day 3 to 15 months after discharge was statistically significant ( F=990.144, P<0.01) . Bonferroni's multiple comparison test showed that there was no statistically significant difference in two-by-two comparisons between T7, T8, and T9 time points with each other ( P>0.05) , and the rest of the two-by-two comparisons were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Changes in the total PPQ score and the curves of the self-efficacy dimension, resilience dimension, hope dimension, and optimism dimension scores all showed a trend of a brief increase, followed by a continuous decrease, and then a slow increase to a plateau. Conclusions:Traumatic lower limb amputation patients show a wide range of changes in positive psychological capital levels from postoperative day 3 to 15 months after discharge, with a trend of a brief increase at discharge, followed by a steady decline, and then a slow increase to a plateau. Healthcare professionals should pay dynamic attention to the psychological state and psychological strength of patients after traumatic lower limb amputation and provide targeted interventions at different stages after discharge.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):73-77
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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza, and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, parallel, controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals, including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness (ILI) cases were collected, and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention, they were assigned to the observation group (108 cases) or the control group (108 cases). Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score scale for influenza, influenza-related emergency (outpatient) visit rate, influenza hospitalization rate, and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled, with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes: (1) Incidence of ILI: The incidence was 12.0% (13/108) in the observation group and 23.1% (25/108) in the control group, with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence (χ2=4.6, P<0.05). (2) Influenza confirmation rate: 3.7% (4/108) in the observation group and 4.6% (5/108) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes: (1) TCM symptom score scale: after onset, nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups (P<0.05), while other symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and cough showed no significant differences. (2) Influenza-related emergency (outpatient) visit rate: 84.6% (11 cases) in the observation group and 96.0% (24 cases) in the control group, with no significant difference. (3) Time to onset after exposure: The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions, Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.
