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.

To verify the feasibility of using a homemade lung phantom for quality control of Cyberknife by
comparing the measurement results of the homemade lung phantom and CIRS dynamic phantom in E2E testing of Cyberknife lung tracking.
Methods :
The patient treatment process was simulated, including CT positioning, plan design, irra-
diation implementation, film scanning, and analysis using the homemade phantom and CIRS phantom. The two phantoms
were measured five times using MLC under the S7 generation Cyberknife and five times using Iris under the M6 generation
Cyberknife. The differences in measurement results between the two phantoms were analyzed using independent sample t-test.
Results :
For the S7 generation Cyberknife, the statistical analysis of differences between the two phantoms in the detection values on the X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, and total deviation showed P values of 0.236, 0.175, 0.289, and 0.668, respect-
ively. For the M6 generation Cyberknife, the statistical analysis showed P values of 0.880, 0.891, 0.573, and 0.433, respect-
ively. The P values were all > 0.05. Therefore, there were no statistically significant differences in the detection results
between the homemade lung phantom and the CIRS phantom under the S7 and M6 generation Cyberknife. The total deviation values were <1.5 mm.
Conclusion
The homemade lung phantom and CIRS phantom have consistent measurement
results in the E2E testing of Cyberknife lung tracking and meet the requirements of Report of AAPM TG-135 and WS 667-
2019 standard. Therefore, the homemade lung phantom is feasible for clinical quality control of Cyberknife.

Objective:To explore the role of "BOPPPS + mind map" in the medical immunology teaching.Methods:The students from Class 12 of 2019 Clinical Medicine Major of Changzhi Medical College were selected as the control group (traditional teaching method) ( n=35), and those from Class 13 as the test group ("BOPPPS model + mind map" teaching method) ( n=37). The teaching effect was compared by the final immunology exam scores between the two groups. A statistical analysis was conducted using the two independent samples t-test for continuous data. For the "BOPPPS model + mind map", a questionnaire survey was randomly conducted among students of various majors. Results:The immunology exam score in the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(67.30±1.81) vs. (59.54±1.98), P=0.005). The blended teaching was accepted by students, and drawing the mind map was conducive to promote learning. Drawing the mind map by hand ( n=177, 52.10%) or computer ( n=163, 47.90%) increased the knowledge sorting. Conclusions:The application of "BOPPPS model + mind map" in the "Medical Immunology" teaching for undergraduates helps to improve the quality of teaching, enhance students' understanding and memory of knowledge points, and consolidate immunology knowledge and skills.

Objective:To explore the drugs and clinical characteristics causing drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in recent years, as well as identify drug-induced liver failure, and chronic DILI risk factors, in order to better manage them timely.Methods:A retrospective investigation and analysis was conducted on 224 cases diagnosed with DILI and followed up for at least six months between January 2018 and December 2020. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for drug-induced liver failure and chronic DILI.Results:Traditional Chinese medicine (accounting for 62.5%), herbal medicine (accounting for 84.3% of traditional Chinese medicine), and some Chinese patent medicines were the main causes of DILI found in this study. Severe and chronic DILI was associated with cholestatic type. Preexisting gallbladder disease, initial total bilirubin, initial prothrombin time, and initial antinuclear antibody titer were independent risk factors for DILI. Prolonged time interval between alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) falling from the peak to half of the peak (T 0.5ALP and T 0.5ALT) was an independent risk factor for chronic DILI [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC)?=?0.787, 95%CI: 0.697~0.878, P ?0.001], with cutoff values of 12.5d and 9.5d, respectively. Conclusion:Traditional Chinese medicine is the main contributing cause of DILI. The occurrence risk of severe DILI is related to preexisting gallbladder disease, initial total bilirubin, prothrombin time, and antinuclear antibodies. T 0.5ALP and T 0.5ALT can be used as indicators to predict chronic DILI.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma powder in treating dyslipidemia by regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. MethodSixty patients with dyslipidemia (syndrome of combined phlegm and stasis) treated in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from May 2021 to June 2022 were selected in this study and randomized into two groups according to the randomized, double-blind control principle. The control group was treated with Xuezhikang capsules + Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma powder placebo and the observation group with Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma powder + Xuezhikang capsules placebo for 6 weeks. The clinical efficacy, traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, and liver and kidney function indicators were evaluated at weeks 0, 3, and 6. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to determine the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), kinase insert domain receptor (KDR), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in the peripheral serum. Quantitative Real-time PCR was employed to measure the mRNA levels of KDR, EGFR, PI3K, and Akt in the mononuclear cells of the peripheral blood. ResultThe observation group (83.33%) showed the total effective rate comparable to that of the control group (89.66%) and no adverse reactions. Compared with before treatment, the patients in the observation group showed decreased TCM syndrome score and serum levels total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and after being treated for 3 and 6 weeks (P<0.05), the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) showed an upward trend, but the difference was not statistically significant. After treatment, the two groups showed no significant differences. Compared with that before treatment, the mRNA expression of PI3K, Akt and EGFR in peripheral blood mononuclear cell and the expression of EGF, VEGF and KDR in serum of the observation group showed a downward trend with time, in which the mRNA expression of PI3K, Akt, VEGF and KDR decreased more significantly (P<0.05),The expression levels of KDR mRNA and serum EGFR show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.Compared with the control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in mRNA expression of PI3K, Akt, EGFR, and KDR, as well as serum levels of EGF, EGFR, VEGF, and KDR between the two groups of patients at the same time point. ConclusionNotoginseng Radix et Rhizoma powder is safe and effective in correcting dyslipidemia. It may inhibit the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by down-regulating the expression of VEGF/KDR to lower the blood lipid level.
