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.

[Objective] To resolve the ambiguities of HLA genotyping generated by next generation sequencing (NGS) using nanopore sequencing technology. [Methods] A total of 38 samples with ambiguous HLA genotyping by NGS in our laboratory were collected, and HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3/4/5, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1 and -DPB1 loci in these samples were amplified using primers in the same commercial NGS HLA genotyping kit, then subjected to third-generation library construction, and sequenced on the nanopore sequencer. The sequencing data were converted into Fastq files and analyzed by software, and the genotypes of 11 HLA loci were obtained. The ambiguities were counted directly. [Results] The high-resolution genotyping at the second domain of 11 HLA loci of 38 samples using the third generation sequencing (TGS) were consistent with the results of the NGS method at a rate of 100%. The genotypes for the HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB3, -DRB4, -DQA1 and -DPA1 loci by TGS were all only one result, and the discrimination rate for ambiguities of the HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DQA1 loci (all caused by the difficulty in phasing due to the short NGS read length) was 100%. Among the HLA-DRB1, -DRB5, -DQB1 and -DPB1 loci, the discrimination rate of TGS for the ambiguities caused by non-amplification of exon 1 was 0% and by the short NGS read length was 100%. [Conclusion] Nanopore technology was used to identify the ambiguities of 11 HLA loci in this study, and the ambiguities caused by the short read length disadvantage of the NGS method could be solved effectively and the accuracy of HLA genotyping would be improved.

Objective:
To analyze the relationship between parental psychological control and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) among junior high school students, so as to provide evidence for preventing IGD development in adolescents.
Methods:
From August 2019 to February 2020, a survey was conducted among 1 169 junior high school students from three middle schools in Xian using stratified cluster sampling. The Parental Psychological Control Scale and IGD Scale were administered to assess parental psychological control and IGD prevalence. Univariate and binary Logistic regression analyses were used to explore IGD risk factors and their correlation with parental psychological control.
Results:
The detection rate of IGD in middle school students was 19.9%(184/1 169). Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that compared to those with lower parental psychological control scores(≤21 points), students with higher parental psychological control scores (>21 points) had a higher risk of IGD (OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.21-2.74), a 1.58fold higher risk of selfperceived gaming addiction (95%CI=1.07-2.30), as well as reduced likelihood of seeking external help to reduce gaming time (OR=0.66, 95%CI=0.47-0.94) (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Parental psychological control may elevate the risks of IGD and selfperceived addiction while diminishing proactive helpseeking behaviors to reduce gaming time. Parents should enhance communication with adolescents and provide positive guidance to mitigate potential gamingrelated harms.

Radionuclides can be hazardous by absorbed through the skin, respiratory and digestive tracts. Chelating agents and adsorbents already could effectively remove them, however traditional chelators have side effects such as nephrotoxicity, teratogenicity, and embryotoxicity. As a new type of nuclide adsorbent, polysaccharide has the advantages of safety, biocompatibility, and high clearance rate. In this paper, the main types and perniciousness of radionuclides, and the latest research of polysaccharides in radionuclide removal were summarized. The application of polysaccharide as an effective adsorption molecule for radio nuclides in nuclear wars, nuclear accidents and other sudden nuclear events is promising.

Xiang thinking is a cognitive approach that reflects the relationships between phenomena and their underlying principles by analyzing their external manifestations through methods such as analogy, reasoning, deduction, and symbolism. This article applied xiang thinking to analyze the etiology and pathogenesis of "wind, fire, phlegm, and blood stasis" in stroke, thereby exploring its impact on the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment of this condition. Meanwhile, the article traced the construction process of xiang thinking, and interpreted the concept of "toxin pathogen" in traditional Chinese medicine from four perspectives, state, attribute, origin, and law. Furthermore, the relationship between the process of constructing xiang thinking and the origin of etiology, identification methods, pathogenesis evolution, and treatment strategies for stroke with syndrome of combined blood stasis and toxin was explored, so as to provide insights into research on the etiology and pathogenesis of stroke, as well as clinical diagnosis and treatment approaches.

Objective To investigate the effects of Aconite decoction (AD) on the viability and polarization of murine RAW264.7 macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin-4 (IL-4). Methods Cytotoxicity of AD was assessed by the CCK-8 assay. RAW264.7 cells were polarized toward M1 phenotype by LPS or M2 phenotype by IL-4, followed by treatment with varying concentrations of AD. Macrophage polarization was analyzed by flow cytometry. Quantitative PCR was performed to measure mRNA expression of polarization-associated markers (IL-6, iNOS, Arg1, and Ym1). ELISA was used to quantify secreted cytokines (TNF-α and IL-10)in the supernatant. Results At non-toxic concentrations, IL-6 and iNOS mRNA levels in LPS-stimulated cells were significantly upregulated while Arg1 and Ym1 expression in IL-4-treated groups were downregulated by AD. Concurrently, TNF-α secretion in LPS-induced M1 polarization was enhanced but IL-10 production in IL-4-induced M2 polarization was suppressed by AD. Conclusion AD could promote macrophage proliferation and viability, augments LPS-driven M1 polarization, and inhibit IL-4-mediated M2 polarization, which provided experimental evidence for the potential application of AD in tumor immunotherapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Scutellariae Radix combined with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) on cell proliferation, apoptosis, cancer stem cell (CSC) marker expression, and metabolism in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. MethodsThe anti-tumor effects of Scutellariae Radix and EGFR-TKIs (gefitinib or osimertinib) in NSCLC cells were evaluated using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) double staining apoptosis assay. The activity of Scutellariae Radix and EGFR-TKIs in three-dimensional (3D) cultures of NSCLC cells was assessed using the CellTiter-Glo® 3D cell viability assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels of CSC markers, sex determining region y box protein 2 (SOX2) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1), were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot, respectively. Changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by ROS staining, and the redox ratio was detected by femtosecond laser labeling free imaging (FLI). ResultsUnder both two-dimensional (2D) and 3D culture conditions, compared with the blank group and EGFR-TKI group, the combination group showed significantly reduced cell viability and increased apoptosis rate (P<0.05). Compared with the EGFR-TKI group, the mRNA and protein levels of CSC markers were significantly downregulated in the combination group (P<0.05). Additionally, the redox ratio was significantly elevated (P<0.05), and ROS levels were also increased in the combination group compared with the EGFR-TKI group. ConclusionIn NSCLC cells, Scutellariae Radix enhances the redox ratio and increases ROS levels, thereby inhibiting the expression of CSC markers and strengthening the anti-tumor effects of EGFR-TKIs. This provides a novel molecular mechanism by which Scutellariae Radix may enhance the sensitivity of targeted therapies.

Objective To investigate the prevalence status and influencing factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) in adult patients with hypopituitarism (HP) during hospitalization. Methods The data of adult HP patients who received treatment in the hospital were collected from March 2021 to March 2024. The prevalence status of MS in adult HP patients was counted, and logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the influencing factors of MS in adult HP patients. Results Among the 308 adult HP patients in this study, 121 cases developed MS and 187 cases did not develop MS, and they were included in the MS group (n=148) and the non-MS group (n=232). The incidence of MS in adult HP patients was 38.95% (148/380). Compared with the non-MS group, the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the MS group were higher, the waist circumference was larger, and the growth hormone was lower (P<0.05). After logistic regression analysis, it was found that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR=1.069, 95%CI: 1.010-1.132, P=0.021), total serum cholesterol (OR=1.065, 95%CI: 1.014-1.119, P=0.012), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR=1.055, 95%CI: 1.005-1.108, P=0.031), waist circumference (OR=1.063, 95%CI: 1.006-1.123, P=0.030) and growth hormone (OR=1.077, 95%CI: 1.019-1.138, P=0.009) could independently affect the occurrence of MS in adult HP patients (P<0.05). Conclusion Adult HP patients during hospitalization are often complicated with MS. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, waist circumference, and growth hormone are factors affecting the occurrence of MS in adult HP patients.
