Objective:
To understand the impact of left behind experience on the mental health of secondary vocational school students, so as to provide theoretical basis for the psychological health education of secondary vocational school students.
Methods:
From September to December in 2019, a total of 3 401 students from Duyun, Guiding and Pingtang County were selected by multi stage cluster random sampling method. Self designed questionnaire and Symptom Check List-90(SCL-90) were used to investigate mental health status. A total of 1 415 left behind students and 1 415 non left behind students were matched by using propensity score matching (PSM). Wilcoxon test and Logistic regression analysis were conducted.
Results:
Before the matching of propensity score, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of family structure, mother s educational level, family residence,family harmony and children s past health among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=28.17, 52.40, 96.31, 29.75 , 19.10, P <0.05). After the matching, there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of the above variables among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=0.02-4.32, P >0.05). Before the matching of propensity scores, there were significant differences in the scores of 10 dimensions of SCL-90, including somatization (1.67,1.58), interpersonal sensitivity (2.00,1.89), anxiety (1.90,1.70), obsessive compulsive symptoms (2.20, 2.10), depression (2.00, 1.85), hostility (1.83, 1.67), terror (1.85, 1.71), paranoia (1.83, 1.67), psychotic (1.70, 1.60) and other (1.85, 1.71) dimensions among secondary vocational school students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-5.15 to -2.84, P <0.05). After propensity score matching, there were significant differences in scores remained only in three factors for interpersonal sensitivity [(2.00(1.56,2.67),2.00(1.44,2.56)], paranoia [1.83(1.33,2.50),1.83(1.33,2.33)] and psychoticism [1.70(1.30,2.30),1.70(1.20,2.20)] in SCL- 90 among secondary vocational students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-2.45, -2.12, -2.23, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The impact of left behind experience on the mental health of vocational school students is mainly reflected in interpersonal sensitivity, paranoia, and psychoticism, which should be identified as key areas of psychological education for secondary vocational school students.

ObjectiveTo explore the interaction among root fungi of Stellaria dichotoma var. lanceolata, soil factors, and main components of medicinal materials in lithosol habitats. MethodHigh-throughput sequencing technology was employed to determine the fungal community of the root system of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata at different levels (bulk soil, rhizosphere soil, rhizoplane soil, and root interior) and the soil properties of the root system (bulk and rhizosphere), and the relationship among the fungal community, soil properties, and the main components of medicinal materials was analyzed. ResultThe total phosphorus, available phosphorus, alkaline nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, and soil water content in the rhizosphere soil of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata were slightly higher than those in the rhizosphere, but the difference was not significant. Ascomycota is the dominant phylum of root fungi in S. dichotoma var. lanceolata. In the progressive level of bulk-rhizosphere-rhizoplane-root interior system, although the fungal diversity gradually decreased, the abundance of Hypocreales, a new phylum (unclassified_ k_ Fungi), Helotiales, and Natipusilales gradually increased, among which Hypocreales is the most important fungal group in the root system of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata. The structural equation model (SEM) shows that the physicochemical factors of the root-soil play an important regulatory role in the fungal community and the main components of medicinal herbs, with soil total nitrogen, alkaline nitrogen, soil water content, and pH being the main regulatory factors. Soil nitrogen content is the key to promoting the main components of the medicinal herbs, and Penicillium fungi are the key fungal group to regulate the main components of the medicinal herbs. ConclusionIt highlights that the physicochemical properties of the soil of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata play a crucial role in the fungal community and the components of medicinal materials. Hypocreales fungi in the root of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata were an important group, and Penicillium fungi had a certain role in mediating the components of medicinal materials.

Objective:To explore the impact of sleep duration, physical exercise, and their interactions on the risk of dyslipidemia in older adults aged ≥80 (the oldest old) in China.Methods:The study subjects were the oldest old from four rounds of Healthy Aging and Biomarkers Cohort Study (2008-2009, 2011-2012, 2014 and 2017-2018). The information about their demographic characteristics, lifestyles, physical examination results and others were collected, and fasting venous blood samples were collected from them for blood lipid testing. Competing risk model was used to analyze the causal associations of sleep duration and physical exercise with the risk for dyslipidemia. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) function was used to explore the dose-response relationship between sleep duration and the risk for dyslipidemia. Additive and multiplicative interaction model were used to explore the interaction of sleep duration and physical exercise on the risk for dyslipidemia.Results:The average age of 1 809 subjects was (93.1±7.7) years, 65.1% of them were women. The average sleep duration of the subjects was (8.0±2.5) hours/day, 28.1% of them had sleep duration for less than 7 hours/day, and 27.2% had sleep for duration more than 9 hours/day at baseline survey. During the 9-year cumulative follow-up of 6 150.6 person years (follow-up of average 3.4 years for one person), there were 304 new cases of dyslipidemia, with an incidence density of 4 942.6/100 000 person years. The results of competitive risk model analysis showed that compared with those who slept for 7-9 hours/day, the risk for dyslipidemia in oldest old with sleep duration >9 hours/day increased by 22% ( HR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.07-1.39). Compared with the oldest old having no physical exercise, the risk for dyslipidemia in the oldest old having physical exercise decreased by 33% ( HR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.57-0.78). The RCS function showed a linear positive dose-response relationship between sleep duration and the risk for hyperlipidemia. The interaction analysis showed that physical exercise and sleep duration had an antagonistic effect on the risk for hyperlipidemia. Conclusion:Physical exercise could reduce the adverse effects of prolonged sleep on blood lipids in the oldest old.

Objective:To observe any effect of electroacupuncture on the expression of L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) in mice modeling Alzheimer′s disease (AD) and also any effect on learning and memory.Methods:Thirty male APP/PS1 mice were randomly divided into a model group, an electroacupuncture (EA) group, and a no acupuncture (NA) group, each of 10. All the animals were modeled as AD. Ten C57BL/6 mice served as a control group. The mice in the EA and NA groups were given continuous 50Hz EA at a current intensity of 1mA at and near the Baihui (GV20) and Shenshu (BL23) acupoints, respectively, once a day for 14 days, while the other two groups were not given any EA. The mice in the model and control groups continued to be routinely fed without any special treatment such as electroacupuncture. After the intervention, any behavioral changes were evaluated by using a Morris Water Maze, and the expression of L1CAM, PTEN and p53 protein in the hippocampus of each group was detected using western blotting.Results:Compared with the control group, the escape latency in positioning navigation experiments was significantly longer in the model group on the first 5 days of Morris Water Maze testing. Compared with the model group, the escape latency was significantly shorter in the EA group on days 2 to 5 of the Morris Water Maze testing, and the expression of L1CAM had increased significantly in the electroacupuncture group compared with the model group while PTEN and p53 expression had decreased significantly. The average escape latency of the NA group was significantly longer than that of the model group on days 2 to 5 of the Morris Water Maze testing. The average L1CAM expression in the NA group had decreased significantly, and the expression of PTEN and p53 protein had increased significantly more than in the EA group. The escape latency was negatively correlated with L1CAM expression but positively correlated with p53 protein and PTEN expression.Conclusion:L1CAM is involved in learning and memory processes, at least in mice. Electroacupuncture can improve the learning and memory of mice modeling Alzheimer′s, which may be due to its promoting the expression of L1CAM and inhibiting the expression of PTEN and p53.

Na+/H+ antiporter (NHX) gene subfamily plays an important role in plant response to salt stress. In this study, we identified the NHX gene family members of Chinese cabbage and analyzed the expression patterns of BrNHXs gene in response to abiotic stresses such as high temperature, low temperature, drought and salt stress. The results showed that there were 9 members of the NHX gene family in Chinese cabbage, which were distributed on 6 chromosomes respectively. The number of amino acids was 513-1 154 aa, the relative molecular weight was 56 804.22-127 856.66 kDa, the isoelectric point was 5.35-7.68. Members of BrNHX gene family mainly existed in vacuoles, the gene structure is complete, and the number of exons is 11-22. The secondary structures of the proteins encoded by the NHX gene family in Chinese cabbage had alpha helix, beta turn and random coil, and the alpha helix occurred more frequently. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that the gene family members had different responses to high temperature, low temperature, drought and salt stress, and their expression levels differed significantly in different time periods. BrNHX02 and BrNHX09 had the most significant responses to these four stresses, and their expression levels were significantly up-regulated at 72 h after treatments, which could be used as candidate genes to further verify their functions.

Objective:To explore the effect of job insecurity on work engagement, and examine the mediating role of job satisfaction and the moderating role of occupational proactive behavior.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, nurses from Southern University of Science and Technology Hospital and Jiangyou Second People's Hospital were selected as the research objects in July 2022. General information questionnaire, Occupational Insecurity Scale, Occupational Satisfaction Scale, Work Engagement Scale and Occupational Proactive Behavior were used for questionnaire investigation. A total of 598 valid questionnaires were collected. Model 4 and Model 7 in the SPSS 22.0 Process were used to test the mediating effect and the moderated mediating effect respectively.Results:Occupational insecurity was negatively correlated with occupational satisfaction and work engagement ( r=-0.202, -0.165, P<0.01) , while occupational satisfaction was positively correlated with work engagement ( r=0.549, P<0.01) . Work satisfaction played a completely mediating role in the effect of job insecurity on work engagement (mediating effect value: -0.090 9, 95% confidence interval: -0.14 - -0.04) , accounting for 65.30% of the total effect. Occupational active behavior positively moderated the relationship between job insecurity and job satisfaction (β=0.07, P<0.01) . Conclusions:Nurses' work engagement is at a high level, but occupational insecurity will reduce nurses' job satisfaction and thus reduce their work engagement. Nurses with high occupational proactive behavior can alleviate the weakening of job insecurity on job satisfaction.

Objective:To study the clinical effects of QingxinWendan decoction in the treatment of bipolar disorder (BD) manic episode.Methods:60 patients with BD manic episode treated in Hunan Brain Hospital from February 2020 to December 2020 were prospectively selected. They were included in the control group and the observation group according to the random alphabet method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets, and the observation group was treated with Qingxin Wendan decoction combined with magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets. The curative effect was evaluated after 4 weeks of continuous treatment. The degree of mania before and after treatment was evaluated by Beck-Rafaelsen mania scale (BRMS); the cognitive function before and after treatment was evaluated by Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-RC) and Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS); The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), neuron specific enolase (NSE) and amyloid β protein (Aβ) levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after treatment. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum NSE and Aβ levels and WAIS-RC and WMS scores in the two groups.Results:The curative effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). After treatment, the BRMS scores of the control group and the observation group decreased (all P<0.05), and the BRMS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group ( P<0.05); After treatment, the WAIS-RC and WMS scores of the control group and the observation group increased (all P<0.05), and the WAIS-RC and WMS scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, NSE and Aβ in two groups were decreased (all P<0.05), and the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, NSE and Aβ in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). NSE and Aβ levels were negatively correlated with WAIS-RC and WMS scores (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets combined with Qingxin Wendan decoction in the treatment of patients with BD manic episode were superior to magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets alone in reducing manic score, IL-1β, TNF-α, NSE and Aβ levels, and improving the cognitive function of patients. The use of QingxinWendan decoction on top of valproate extended-release tablet treatment for BD manic episode was superior to treatment with valproate extended-release tablets alone in reducing mania scores, IL-1β, TNF-α, NSE and Aβ levels, as well as improving patients' cognitive function.

Objective:To summarize the clinical and imaging features of pediatric neuroglial heterotopia (NGH) in different locations.Methods:The clinical and preoperative imaging data of 9 patients (6 boys and 3 girls, median age 3 months, range from 1 to13 months) with NGH confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed in Wuhan Children′s Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from October 2009 to December 2020. All patients underwent preoperative CT or/and MR examination. Follow-up was performed in 12 to 60 months after operation, with a median follow-up time of 24 months. The location, range, size, density/signal intensity of the lesions were reviewed.Results:Of all 9 cases, three cases were located in nose (2 extranasal type and 1 mixed type), with the maximum diameter of 13, 13 and 15 mm; there were 3 lesions in tongue, all of which were located on the dorsum of tongue, with the maximum diameter of 13, 18 and 23 mm; there were also 2 cases located in nasopharynx, maximum diameter of 15 and 22 mm, respectively. One case was in sacrococcygeal area, with the maximum diameter as 18 mm. All lesions presented as solid masses with well-defined margins, displaying slightly low density compared to grey matter. The CT value ranged from 25 to 47 HU. Compared to grey matter or spinal cord, MRI demonstrated isointense or slight hypointense on T 1WI and slight hyperintense on T 2WI. All masses presented homogenous density or signal intensity, with mild homogenous enhancement. During postoperative follow-up, no recurrence was found in 8 cases. One case of nasal NGH with gradeⅡcleft lip recurred at 1 month follow-up after surgery, and no recurrence was found after the second surgery. Conclusions:The NGH in children has typical imaging features, and is mostly located at the extracranial midline structure.It presents as solid mass, with quasi-circular morphology, well-defined margins and homogeneous density or signal intensity similar to gray matter or spinal cord. The postoperative recurrence rate is low.

Objective To explore the effect of continuous nursing intervention on limb function and nursing quality after proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods From February, 2017 to November, 2018, 100 elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who underwent PFNA internal fixation in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 50) and observation group (n = 50), who accepted routine nursing and continuous nursing respectively for three months. They were assessed with Harris score and visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) before and after the intervention. The postoperative nursing effect was compared. Results The Harris score increased in both groups after the intervention (t > 45.98, P < 0.001), and increased more in the observation group than in the control group (t = 15.03, P < 0.001). The VAS score decreased in both groups after the intervention (t > 16.33, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the observation group than in the control group (t = 9.749, P < 0.001). The effect of nursing was better in the observation group than in the control group (Z = -2.272, P = 0.023). Conclusion Continuous nursing intervention can significantly improve the limb function and nursing satisfaction of elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture after PFNA.

Objective:To analyze the etiological characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases and to investigate the genetic characteristics of VP1 region of coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) and CVA16 strains in Wenshan prefecture of Yunnan Province in 2020.Methods:Virus RNA was extracted directly from stool samples of children with HFMD in Wenshan prefecture of Yunnan Province in 2020. Enterovirus (EV) VP4/VP2 junction region was amplified using MD91/OL68-1 primers and sequenced, and then the serotypes of EV isolates were preliminarily identified. Amplification and sequencing of the complete VP1 gene were performed. A phylogenetic tree was constructed by MEGA 5.2 software with the reference strains from GenBank. Genetic and molecular epidemiological characteristics of CVA6 and CVA16 were analyzed.Results:Thirty-two strains of EV and one strain of astrovirus MLB1 were detected in 317 specimens with an overall virus detection rate of 10.41% (33/317). Among the 32 EV strains, 31 (96.88%) were enterovirus species A (EVA) and one (3.12%) was EVB. EVC and EVD were not detected. CVA6 was the predominant EV, accounting for 62.50% (20/32), followed by CVA16 (18.75%, 6/32), CVA4 (9.37%, 3/32) and CVA10 (3.12%, 1/32). EVA71 was not detected. The phylogenetic analysis showed 20 CVA6 strains belonged to D3a sub-genotype and could be further divided into three clusters. Six CVA16 strains belonged to B1a sub-genotype, which was one of the predominant genotypes circulating in China, and could be divided into two clusters.Conclusions:The detection rate of pathogens causing HFMD in Wenshan prefecture in 2020 was 10.41% and the most common etiologic agents were CVA6 and CVA16. Based on the genetic analysis of the VP1 gene, the predominant genotype circulating in Wenshan prefecture in 2020 was CVA6 D3a sub-genotype, followed by CVA16 B1a sub-genotype. EVA71 was not detected.
