Objective:
To construct a risk prediction model for poly victimization (PV) among rural left behind middle and high school students in Chaoshan, and to evaluate the prediction effect of the model, so as to provide scientific basis for early identification and prevention of PV among students.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 005 left behind students, selected from 7 middle and high schools in rural areas of Shantou City and Jieyang City by a stratified random cluster sampling method from January 2020 to September 2021, for the personal, family, external environmental factors, psychological factors (mental resilience, coping approaches, self esteem and social support) and PV situations. R software and Logistic regression were used to screen predictor variables to build a risk prediction model, and the area under the ROC curve (area under the curve, AUC), accuracy, precision, recall, F1 value and calibration curve were used to evaluate the model s effect.
Results:
The incidence rate of PV among left behind middle and high school students was 23.38%. The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that physical illness or disability ( β =1.02), grade retention during the past year ( β =1.31), having no close partner ( β =1.00), self harm intention (seldom: β = 0.58 , occasionally: β =0.79), negative peer behavior ( β =0.90), family member smoking ( β =0.59), criminal offenses of parents ( β =1.04), witnessing school bullying ( β =0.78), house moving ( β =0.58), using venting ( β =0.34) and the coping style of patience ( β =0.28) were positively correlated with PV among left behind children in Chaoshan area, and family support in psychological flexibility ( β =-0.31) was negatively correlated with PV ( P <0.05). A nomogram prediction model was constructed for the meaningful variables included in the multivariate analysis, and the prediction model AUC was 0.88, the accuracy was 82.00 %, the precision was 77.78%, and the F1 value was 43.75%. The calibration plot fitted well, and the model had good discrimination and calibration.
Conclusion
The risk prediction model for left behind middle and high school students with PV has good predictive performance and is helpful for schools and communities to early identify high risk middle and high school students with PV.

BACKGROUND:Currently,there are few kinds of drugs to treat kidney diseases,and many systemic drugs have some problems,such as serious side effects,rapid degradation in the body circulation and so on.At present,active targeting of nanoparticles has become a hot spot in the field of drug delivery,and the exploration of the pathological mechanism related to active targeting of nanoparticles is becoming more and more abundant. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the active targeting strategies in common renal diseases. METHODS:The first author and the second author searched CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,and PubMed databases using"nanoparticles,active targeting,target,kidney,kidney disease"as English key words and"nanoparticles,nanoparticles,targeting,active targeting,kidney disease,kidney"as Chinese key words.All relevant articles published before July 2,2023 were retrieved,screened,concluded,and summarized.Finally,62 articles were included for the summary. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The active targeting effect of nanoparticles has been studied in many common kidney diseases.The mechanism of active targeting is mainly the binding of ligands and receptors,by modifying the ligand on the nanoparticles to specifically target the receptor on the cells in the kidney;in which way active targeting is realized.Under different renal pathological conditions,the pathological changes of specific kidney sites may become the key breakthrough point to achieve active targeting.Although kidney-targeting nanoparticles have shown promise in the treatment of nonneoplastic kidney diseases,but it is still in the experimental phase in animals,and it is still a long way from applying these results to medical work.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate whether the onset of the plateau phase of slow hepatitis B surface antigen decline in patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with intermittent interferon therapy is related to the frequency of dendritic cell subsets and expression of the costimulatory molecules CD40,CD80,CD83,and CD86. Method This was a cross-sectional study in which patients were divided into a natural history group(namely NH group),a long-term oral nucleoside analogs treatment group(namely NA group),and a plateau-arriving group(namely P group).The percentage of plasmacytoid dendritic cell and myeloid dendritic cell subsets in peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes and the mean fluorescence intensity of their surface costimulatory molecules were detected using a flow cytometer. Results In total,143 patients were enrolled(NH group,n = 49;NA group,n = 47;P group,n = 47).The results demonstrated that CD141/CD1c double negative myeloid dendritic cell(DNmDC)/lymphocytes and monocytes(%)in P group(0.041[0.024,0.069])was significantly lower than that in NH group(0.270[0.135,0.407])and NA group(0.273[0.150,0.443]),and CD86 mean fluorescence intensity of DNmDCs in P group(1832.0[1484.0,2793.0])was significantly lower than that in NH group(4316.0[2958.0,5169.0])and NA group(3299.0[2534.0,4371.0]),Adjusted P all<0.001. Conclusion Reduced DNmDCs and impaired maturation may be associated with the onset of the plateau phase during intermittent interferon therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
