Objective To design a mobile personnel radiation protection equipment for operation in environments with high radiation such as spent fuel reprocessing plants, to achieve simultaneous protection against γ radiation, neutron radiation, and radioactive aerosol, to reduce the internal and external exposure dose of radioactive workers, and to meet the requirement of operation for two hours. Methods The core parts of the mobile personnel radiation protection equipment included a shielding chamber and a respiratory maintenance system. An automated chassis was used for the movement and lifting of the shielding chamber. MCNP software was used to simulate and calculate the protective effects of shielding chamber made of different materials and material thicknesses. Experimental verification of the shielding chamber design was conducted. Mathematical models were established to describe the variations in the content of various gases in the chamber with personnel operation time. A respiratory maintenance system, a harmful gas absorption device, and an automated mobile chassis were designed. Results The shielding chamber made of polyethylene with a thickness of 80 mm achieved an 80% neutron shielding rate. The respiratory maintenance system could support workers for 2 hours of operation inside the equipment. The mobile chassis allowed operation of the equipment with one person. Conclusion This mobile personnel radiation protection equipment can solve the problem in simultaneous protection against γ radiation, neutron radiation, and radioactive aerosol. The equipment can provide radiation protection for radioactive workers, reduce exposure dose, and reduce personnel burden. This system provides technical means for the operation and maintenance of equipment in high-radiation sites such as spent fuel reprocessing plants.

Objective:To analysis the clinical features and prognosis in oropharyngeal carcinoma with secondary primary tumor. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 468 pathologically confirmed oropharyngeal cancer as the primary tumor patients with p16 status, excluded distant metastasis, and admitted to the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2010 to December 2020. The clinical features and prognosis of the secondary primary tumor were analyzed. Results:Among 468 patients with oropharyngeal cancer treated at initial diagnosed, 222 cases were P16-negative. With a median follow-up time of 64.3 months, 66 cases developed second primary cancer, with an incidence of 29.3%, among which 63.6%(42/66) were synchronous and 36.4%(24/66) were heterochronous, esophagus was the most commonly involved site. The 5-year OS of p16-negative oropharyngeal carcinoma with synchronous second primary cancer, without second primary cancer and with heterogeneous second primary cancer were 26.3% and 57.3% and 73.2%(P=0.001); The second primary cancer accounted for 11.2%(12/107) of the deaths in the whole group, among them, the heterochronous second primary accounted for 75.0%(9/12). There were 246 patients with p16 positive, with a median follow-up time of 52.4 months, 20 patients developed second primary cancer(8.1%). Among them, 65.0%(13/20) were synchronous and 35.0%(7/20) were heterochronous. Esophagus was the most commonly involved site. The 4-year OS of p16-positive with synchronous, heterochronous and non-second primary cancer group were 51.9%, 80.7% and 83.3%. Secondary primary cancer accounted for 3.8%(2/52) of all deaths in p16 positvie group. Conclusion:The incidence of second primary cancer of p16 positive and negative oropharyngeal carcinoma were different. The esophagus was the most commonly involved site regardless of p16 status. Regardless of p16 status, the survival of patients with synchronous second primary cancer was worse than those without second primary cancer. For p16-negative oropharyngeal carcinoma, the prognosis was better in patients with heterogeneous second primary cancer, the second primary cancer is one of the main causes of death.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mediating role of loneliness and social anxiety in the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and smartphone addiction among high school students, and to provide references for the intervention to smartphone addiction for high school students. MethodsIn April 2022, a total of 14 666 high school students from 5 middle schools in a county of Sichuan Province were included by random sampling method. Basic Psychological Needs Scales (BPNS), the UCLA Loneliness Scale-3 edition (UCLA-3), Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS) and the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI) were used for cross-sectional investigation. Bootstrap method was used to analyze the mediating role of loneliness and social anxiety in the relationship between the basic psychological needs satisfaction and smartphone addiction. Results① In this study, 14 036 valid questionnaires were returned, and 1 752 (12.48%, 95% CI: 0.114~0.136) high school students were found to be addicted to smartphone phone. The BPNS score was negatively correlated with UCLA-3, IAS and MPAI scores (r=-0.771, -0.486, -0.417, P<0.01). And MPAI score was positively correlated with IAS and UCLA-3 scores (r=0.403, 0.424, P<0.01). IAS score was positively correlated with UCLA-3 score (r=0.458, P<0.01). ②The degree of basic psychological needs satisfaction in high school students can directly negatively predict smartphone addiction (β=-0.383, P<0.05), and can also indirectly affect smartphone addiction through loneliness and social anxiety (β=-0.130, P<0.05). ③Loneliness (indirect effect value was -0.145) and social anxiety (indirect effect value was -0.074) partially mediate between the basic psychological needs satisfaction and smartphone addiction. Loneliness-social anxiety also has significant chain mediating effect (indirect effect value was -0.034), which accounted for 8.88%. ConclusionThe basic psychological needs satisfaction can not only directly affect the occurrence of smartphone addiction, but also indirectly affect the occurrence of smartphone addiction through the chain mediation of loneliness and social anxiety.

ObjectiveTo clarify the relationship between childhood maltreatment and insomnia in middle school students, and to explore the mediating role of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and the moderating role of mental resilience involvement. MethodsFrom April to May 2021, a total of 3 412 students in 3 middle schools in a city in western China were selected using convenient sampling method, and all students were assessed by Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale (PCL), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and mental resilience scale. The moderated mediating effect analysis was conducted using Process v3.4. ResultsAmong the middle school students, CTQ scores were positively correlated with PCL and ISI scores (r=0.540, 0.320, P<0.05), and the scores of CTQ, PCL and ISI were negatively correlated with the score of mental resilience scale (r=-0.049, -0.193, -0.132, P<0.05). PTSD symptoms exhibited a partial mediating effect on the relationship between general childhood maltreatment and insomnia (β=0.161, P<0.05), accounting for 80.5% of the total effect. ConclusionAmong the middle school students, the relationship between childhood maltreatment and insomnia is partially mediated via PTSD symptoms, and mental resilience exerts a moderating role between childhood maltreatment and PTSD symptoms.

Scoliosis is one of the common diseases in adolescents. It can rapidly progress during the peak growth period. Scoliosis school screening (SSS) is the main way for early detection and treatment of this disease. The SSS project began in the 1960s and was gradually promoted from the United States to the world. However, some problems were gradually exposed during the implementation of the project, such as the high false positive rate of screening methods, potential radiation damage, the uncertainty of the potency ratio of screening and the lack of evidence-based medical evidence of the effectiveness of high-level conservative treatment, which led to many European and American countries stopping the implementation of SSS. However, with the progress of research related to diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis, based on the latest evidence-based medical evidence assessment, the United States Preventive Medicine Task Force again adjusted the recommendation level of SSS to "no recommendation, no objection" in 2018. In recent years, SSS has gradually received extensive attention from the Chinese government and society. Five national ministries and commissions also issued a document in 2021 to include scoliosis in the monitoring of common diseases among students. However, the implementation of the project should also refer to the effectiveness criteria of disease screening recommended by the World Health Organization. In the future, with the improvement of the accuracy of scoliosis screening methods, the development of multi-mode screening such as artificial intelligence, the emergence of non-radiation detection technology and the improvement of the effectiveness of conservative treatment of mild and moderate scoliosis, the long-term and large-scale implementation of SSS project and the early prevention and control of scoliosis will be possible to truly achieve.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab in the treatment of advanced head and neck tumors by using meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) treated with nimotuzumab were searched from databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Wanfang Data and CNKI) for meta-analysis. The efficacy evaluation indexes included overall survival, progression-free survival, disease-free survival, objective response rate, and complete response rate. Adverse reactions were analyzed for safety evaluation. The heterogeneity results were evaluated by Chi-square test, the degree of heterogeneity was evaluated by I2, and the literature was statistically analyzed by random effects model. Results:A total of 11 RCT were included, consisting of 1 202 patients (602 in the intervention group and 600 in the control group). Compared with the control group, the overall survival was significantly prolonged, death risk was decreased by 22% ( HR=0.78, 95% CI=0.63-0.95, P=0.014), the progression-free survival was prolonged and the risk of disease progression was declined by 35% ( HR=0.65, 95% CI=0.53-0.81, P<0.01), and the disease-free survival was prolonged and the risk of recurrence was decreased by 29% ( HR=0.71, 95% CI=0.55-0.91, P<0.01), the objective response rate ( RR=1.37, 95% CI=1.20-1.55, P<0.01) and complete response rate ( RR=1.30, 95% CI=1.15-1.46, P<0.01) were significantly improved in the intervention group. In addition, adding nimotuzumab did not increase the incidence of adverse reaction ( RR=0.98, 95% CI=0.93-1.03, P=0.41). Conclusion:Nimotuzumab can significantly prolong long-term survival and improve short-term efficacy with high safety in LA-HNSCC patients.

ObjectiveTo study the anxiety and depression status of the third-year junior high school students in Nanning city, and to discuss their relationships with test anxiety, so as to provide references for targeted psychological intervention for students. MethodsFrom May to June, 2021, a simple random sampling method was adopted to randomly enroll three classes of third-grade students from one junior high school in each district and county of Nanning city. The selected students were assessed using Test Anxiety Scale (TAS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). Thereafter, Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the correlation among each scale score. ResultsA total of 2 080 students participated in the survey, and 1 826 (87.79%) valid questionnaires were collected. Among them, 999 students (54.71%) felt uncomfortable due to the test. Anxiety and depression were detected in 577 (31.60%) and 830 (45.45%) students, respectively. TAS score of female students was higher than that of male students [(16.75±6.78) vs. (15.08±6.97), t=-5.136, P<0.01], SAS score of female students was higher than that of male students [(46.05±10.43) vs. (44.16±10.87), t=-3.769, P<0.01], and SDS score of female students was higher than that of male students [(52.34±12.44) vs. (49.98±12.17), t=-4.039, P<0.01]. Correlation analysis showed that SAS and SDS scores were positively correlated with TAS score (r=0.574, 0.531, P<0.01), and the correlation still existed after further controlling for age and gender (r=0.570, 0.526, P<0.01). ConclusionThe third-year junior high school students in Nanning city suffer a high prevalence rate of anxiety and depression, and the two psychological states have positive relations with TAS. Furthermore, both anxiety and depression are more severe in female students than in male students.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of insomnia between childhood trauma and suicide risk in middle school students.Methods:Childhood trauma questionnaire(CTQ), insomnia severity index(ISI) and suicidal behaviors questionnaire-revised(SBQ-R) were used to investigate 3 442 middle school students.According to the total score of the SBQ-R, those who scored less than or equal to 6 were divided into low suicide risk group, and those who scored more than or equal to 7 were divided into high suicide risk group.In this study, there were 2 168 students in the low suicide risk group and 1 274 students in the high suicide risk group.SPSSAU 21.0 online statistical software was used for common method deviation test, descriptive statistics, variance analysis and correlation analysis, and structural equation model was constructed, and Bootstrap method was used for mediation effect test.Results:(1) There were statistically significant differences between the high suicide risk group and the low suicide risk group in terms of grade and gender( χ2=11.144, 83.737, both P<0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in the types of childhood trauma and the severity of insomnia( χ2=292.211, 333.998, both P<0.05). (2) The total score of childhood trauma in the high suicide risk group (43.92±10.50) was higher than that in the low suicide risk group (37.74±6.93) ( F=351.78, P<0.01), and the score of insomnia in the high suicide risk group (10.66±5.54) was higher than that in the low suicide risk group (7.04±4.76) ( F=379.25, P<0.01). (3)The total score of childhood trauma was positively correlated with the score of suicide risk ( r=0.415, P<0.01), and the total score of childhood trauma was positively correlated with the score of insomnia ( r=0.306, P<0.01), and the score of insomnia was significantly positively correlated with the score of suicide risk ( r=0.399, P<0.01). After controlling for demographic data, anxiety and depression, the correlation was still significant ( P<0.01). (4) Path analysis and mediation test showed that childhood trauma had a positive effect on insomnia ( β=0.30, P<0.01), insomnia had a positive effect on suicide risk ( β=0.29, P<0.01), and childhood trauma had a positive effect on suicide risk ( β=0.33, P<0.01). The mediating effect of insomnia accounted for 21.21% of the total effect.After controlling for demographic data, anxiety and depression, the mediating effect accounted for 10.66% of the total effect. Conclusion:Childhood trauma and insomnia have a significant impact on the suicide risk among middle school students.Insomnia plays a partial mediating role between childhood trauma and middle school students' suicide risk.Timely management of the sleep disturbances of traumatized individuals can reduce the suicide risk among middle school students.
