OBJECTIVES: Wild-caught Microtus fortis (M. fortis) at the age of 9-15 months can develop epithelial ovarian cancers similar to human epithelial ovarian cancers under natural conditions during experimental animal breeding, but its pathological types and biological characteristics remain unclear. This study aims to analyze the biological characteristics of spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis, intending to develop M. fortis as an animal model for human epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS: The female M. fortis (9-15 months old) with spontaneous ovarian cancer were selected as the experimental group, and healthy M. fortis from the same litter were selected as the control group. The ovarian pathological changes of the two groups were observed by dissection. Blood routine and biochemical indicators were measured by biochemical analysis. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the pathological changes in the ovarian cancer tissue of M. fortis. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the protein expression of common ovarian cancer markers, and real-time RT-PCR was used to analyze the transcription levels of ovarian cancer-related genes. RESULTS: Spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis mainly affects both ovaries, with tumors appearing solid or cystic. HE staining and histopathological analysis confirmed that the ovarian tumors originated from ovarian surface epithelium. Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed significantly decreased hemoglobin (P<0.01), hematocrit (P<0.05), albumin (P<0.05), and blood glucose levels (P<0.01), while lymphocyte percentage (P<0.05), monocyte percentage (P<0.05), cholesterol (P<0.01), and progesterone (P<0.01) levels were significantly increased. Expression of ovarian cancer-related genes, including ID3, CDC42, RHOA, RB1CC1, NF1, PIN1, MIB1, PDS5A, MCM7, and MLH1, was significantly downregulated (all P<0.05), while PAX8 gene expression was significantly upregulated (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical results showed that Wilms' tumor gene 1 (WT1) protein was mainly distributed throughout the cell, with significantly higher expression in ovarian cancer M. fortis. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) was expressed in both healthy and ovarian cancer M. fortis and was distributed throughout the cell. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF1B) and progesterone receptor (PR) protein were highly expressed in the ovarian tissue of healthy M. fortis but were significantly reduced in the ovarian cancer M. fortis, though both were located in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSIONS Spontaneous ovarian cancer in M. fortis is serous ovarian cancer. Compared to healthy M. fortis, significant differences were observed in ovarian tissue morphology, biochemical indicators, ovarian cancer-related gene expression, and protein expression, which show similarity to the biological characteristics of human serous ovarian cancer. This suggests that M. fortis could be an ideal animal model for studying human serous ovarian cancer.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of suicidal ideation among callers with unemployment issues to the Beijing psychological assistance hotline.Methods:Totally 802 callers from the Beijing psychological assis-tance hotline from 2020 to 2023,who identified unemployment as their primary concern.Suicidal ideation was as-sessed by directly asking callers if they had experienced suicidal thoughts within the past two weeks.General demo-graphic information was collected,along with factors related to suicidal ideation,including distress,hope,depres-sion,substance abuse,physical problems,history of previous suicide attempts,chronic life events,acute life events,history of abuse,fear of being attacked,and family or friends' history of suicide.Results:A total of 517 individuals(64.4％)reported experiencing suicidal ideation within the two weeks prior to their call.Regression analysis indi-cated that high levels of hope(OR=0.32,95％CI:0.23-0.44)were a protective factor against suicidal ideation among unemployed callers.In contrast,severe depressive symptoms(OR=2.47,95％CI:1.77-3.45),a history of previous suicide attempts(OR=1.64,95％CI:1.05-2.56),and chronic life events(OR=1.55,95％CI:1.11-2.16)were identified as significant risk factors for suicidal ideation in this group.Conclusion:A history of prior suicide attempts,chronic life events,and high levels of depression are significant risk factors for suicidal idea-tion among unemployed callers,whereas a high level of hope serves as a protective factor.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of suicidal ideation in bereavement callers of Beijing psy-chological support hotline.Methods:Bereavement callers from 2022-2023 hotline callers who were assessed for grief reactions were included in this study.Callers were assessed for current suicidal ideation by asking them if they had suicidal ideation within two weeks.The general demographic data of bereavement callers were collected,and the distress,hope and suicide risk factors of bereavement callers were assessed by hotline interview.The depression de-gree of bereavement callers was assessed by diagnostic screening scale for depression.Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of suicidal ideation.Results:Seventy-seven point two percent(1 028/1 332)of callers reported suicidal ideation.Those who were over 25 years old(OR=0.50),with 10-16 years of education(OR=0.59),with over 16 years of education(OR=0.28),and had a high sense of hope(OR=0.41)were less likely to have suicidal ideation.Those with previous suicide history(OR=2.70),high levels of distress(OR=1.72),and high levels of depression(OR=2.86)were more likely to have suicidal ideation.Conclusion:A history of previous suicide,high levels of distress,and high levels of depression among bereavement callers were risk fac-tors for suicidal ideation.

Objective: To understand the current situation and differences in physical activity among children and adolescents in different regions of China, so as to provide a scientific reference for promoting the level of overall physical activity promotion among children and adolescents in China. Methods: From June to December 2023, the student satisfaction assessment questionnaire for the national children and adolescents theme fitness activity "Run, Youth!" was conducted, which was administered via a combined online and offline questionnaire survey to explore 397 013 students participation in the "Run, Youth!" activity in 2023. Descriptive statistics, Logistic regression, and other approaches were utilized for data analysis. Results: There were notable disparities in the rates of children and adolescents meeting the physical activity standards among northeast China, northwest China, north China, east China, central China and southwest China (10.27%, 11.79%, 9.32%, 8.48%, 8.81%, 7.30%) ( χ 2=33.48, P <0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that rate of recommended level of physical activity among children in northwest China, boys, children aged 16-18, children in urban areas were relatively high ( OR =1.12, 1.68, 0.60, 1.88, P < 0.05 ). After adjusting for confounding factors, the results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that there was an interactive effect relationship between the interaction of region, age, gender, and urban-rural distribution and physical activity among children and adolescents ( OR=0.51, P <0.01). Based on gender analysis, weekly physical activity duration of boys in each region surpassed that of girls; based on age analysis, except for the central and southwestern regions, weekly physical activity duration of children and adolescents gradually increased with age in other regions; based on the proportion of urban and rural areas, weekly physical activity duration of children and adolescents in urban areas across all regions exceeded that in rural areas. Conclusions The attainment rate of sufficient physical activity among children and adolescents in northwest China is the highest, and the differences between regions are not significant. The participation and level of physical activity of male students in each region surpass those of females and the attainment rate of physical activity of physical activity of urban children and adolescents is higher than that of those in rural areas.

Objective To explore the risk factors for suicidal ideation among the relatives and friends of suicide victims through psychological support hotline.Methods Calls from the relatives and friends of suicide victims to the Beijing psychological support hotline between 2009 and 2023 were included.Their current suicidal ideation was assessed by asking whether they had suicidal thoughts in the past two weeks.Demographic information of the callers was collected and the severity of their depression was assessed using the depression diagnostic screening scale.Interviews were conducted to evaluate distress,sense of hope,history of suicide attempts,and suicide risk factors.Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors for suicidal ideation among callers.Results A total of 360 cases were included in this study.There were 50.3%(181 cases)of the callers reporting suicidal ideation within 2 weeks before the call.Years of education(OR=0.86,95%CI:0.79-0.94)and high levels of hope(OR=0.19,95%CI:0.11-0.32)were protective factors against suicidal ideation in callers.History of suicide attempts(OR=2.01,95%CI:1.20-3.36),high levels of distress(OR=3.28,95%CI:1.92-5.61),and high levels of depression(OR=1.73,95%CI:1.05-2.84)were independent risk factors for suicidal ideation in callers.Conclusions History of suicide attempts,high levels of distress and high levels of depression among the relatives and friends of suicide victims calling the psychological support hotline are risk factors for their own suicidal ideation.
