Objective:
To explore the association between peer victimization and psychotic like experiences (PLEs) among junior high school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for preventing adolescent PLEs.
Methods:
In January 2024, a method of combining convenient sampling with cluster sampling was used to survey 2 760 students from two ordinary junior high schools in southern Anhui Province (Susong Country,Anqing City). The Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE) and the Adolescent Peer Bullying Scale were employed to assess PLEs with different symptoms and peer victimization (verbal, physical, relational, and cyberbullying). Multivariate Logistic regression models analyzed the associations of different types peer victimization and PLEs with different symptoms.
Results:
The prevalence of PLEs was 17.5%, with delusional (15.4%) and hallucinatory (7.4%) symptoms being most common. Peer victimization was reported by 51.3% of students (49.6% victims, 19.5% perpetrators), with verbal victimization being most frequent (42.4% victims, 15.5% perpetrators) and cyberbullying least frequent (6.0% victims, 1.9 % perpetrators). Compared to students without bullying,students exposed to bullying showed significantly higher rates of delusional ( χ 2=29.09-127.22), hallucinatory ( χ 2=27.23-72.29), and overall PLEs ( χ 2=34.32-127.25) (all P <0.01). After adjusting for relevant confounding factors,the multiple Logistic regression model revealed verbal victimization increased risks of delusions ( OR=1.59, 95%CI =1.22-2.09), hallucinations ( OR=1.94, 95%CI =1.33-2.84), and overall PLEs ( OR=1.62, 95%CI = 1.26- 2.09); relational victimization was associated with delusions ( OR=1.83, 95%CI =1.40-2.39) and PLEs ( OR=1.65, 95% CI = 1.28-2.13); physical victimization correlated with hallucinations ( OR=1.64, 95%CI =1.12-2.40) and PLEs ( OR=1.41, 95%CI =1.06-1.87) (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Specific types of peer victimization are differentially associated with PLEs, with relational victimization demonstrating the strongest association.

ObjectiveTo analyse the clinical characteristics of different traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in patients with heart failure based on information from electronic medical record. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted to collect clinical data of all inpatients with heart failure in the Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020. A database of clinical TCM data was established to explore the characteristics of clinical data of basic information, syndromes and syndrome element types, and biochemical indexes. The distribution of TCM syndromes and syndrome elements in heart failure patients were also analysed, and the basic information and biochemical indexes of the patients with top 7 different TCM syndrome types were compared. ResultsA total of 1676 inpatients with heart fai-lure were included. The top 7 TCM syndromes of heart failure were syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis (477 cases, 28.46%), syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis (439 cases, 26.19%), syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis with water retention (274 cases, 16.35%), syndrome of yang deficiency with water retention (145 cases, 8.65%), syndrome of qi and yin deficiency (104 cases, 6.21%), syndrome of qi and yin deficiency with blood stasis (80 cases, 4.77%), syndrome of heart yang deficiency (59 cases, 3.52%). Among the 1676 patients, 6 syndrome elements accounted for more than 5%. Blood stasis accounted for the highest proportion of TCM syndrome element type (1292 cases, 77.09%), followed by qi deficiency (919 cases, 54.83%), phlegm (498 cases, 29.71%), water retention (434 cases, 25.89%), yang deficiency (215 cases, 12.82%) and yin deficiency (191 cases, 11.40%). Among the 1676 patients, 1308 cases of acute heart failure mainly showed syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis (386 cases, 29.51%), and 368 of chronic heart fai-lure mainly showed syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis (118 cases, 32.07%). Patients with syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis had the shortest disease duration of 0.3 months, while those with syndrome of heart yang deficiency had the longest disease duration of 15 months. The proportion of syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis was the highest in patients with heart failure combined with coronary artery disease, the proportion of syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis with water retention was the highest in patients with heart failure combined with atrial fibrillation, and the proportion of patients with syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis with water retention and syndrome of yang deficiency with water retention in those applying diuretics during the hospital stay was the highest with more than 86%. The different 7 TCM syndromes showed statistically difference in patients with complications including coronary artery disease, old myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, pre and post-admission medication usage including intravenous vasodilators, cardiac stimulants, diuretics, and level of blood chloride, blood urea, blood creatinine, blood bicarbonate, blood albumin, and blood total bilirubin (P<0.05). ConclusionThe most common TCM syndromes in patients with heart failure are syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis and syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis. Different TCM syndromes have different characteristics in gender, disease complications, medication before and after admission, and blood indexes.

Objective To explore the application of time series models based on meteorological factors in the population density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province. Methods The density of Aedes albopictus in different habitats in 18 cities and counties of Hainan Province from 2017 to 2022 was monitored monthly using the double-mosquito net trapping index and the Breteau index. Mann-Kendall trend test was used to analyze the temporal trends of the two density indices; Spearman's correlation analysis was employed to assess the correlation strength between each meteorological factor and the two indexes, eliminating unrelated variables, and further selecting the final variables through the full-subset regression method. Three time-series models were constructed for the two density indices, with root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and other accuracy metrics used to determine the optimal model; predictions for the density indices for 2023-2024 were made. All statistical analyses were performed in R (4.3.1). Results The net trapping and Breteau indices showed an overall decrease over the years (Z-values of Mann-Kendall trend test were -6.15 and -4.03, respectively, and P<0.05). The meteorological factor most strongly associated with the trap index was the monthly average minimum temperature; monthly mean minimum temperature and monthly mean relative humidity were strongly correlated with the Breteau index. Based on various evaluation indicators, the multivariate time series model demonstrated the highest accuracy. The study predicts one to two peaks in both the trap index and Breteau Index for the years 2023 and 2024, with peak periods occurring between June to September and May to September, respectively. The predicted value for 2023 aligns with the measured value, demonstrating outstanding predictive accuracy. Conclusions This study has introduced meteorological factors into the seasonal time series model, allowing for more accurate predictions of the density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province from 2023 to 2024, providing a model framework for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province.

Abstract: Objective By analyzing the monitoring results of rodents in Hainan Province in 2022, the species composition, distribution, seasonal fluctuation, and density of rodents were understood and mastered, and the correlation between rodent density and meteorological factors in Haikou was explored, so as to provide a scientific basis for vector control and prevention and control of rodent-borne infectious diseases. Methods Using the night cage method, according to the "2022 Hainan Province Rodent Monitoring Implementation Plan”, monitoring was conducted in 17 cities and counties every two months starting from January. Excel 2021 software was used to sort out the monitoring data and draw the chart, and SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis. Spearman correlation analysis was used for the correlation between rodent density and meteorological factors. Results In 2022, the overall rodent density in Hainan Province was 4.32% (1 166/27 008). Brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) was the dominant species, accounting for 72.21% (842/1 166) of the total captures. In terms of area, the highest rodent density was 27.27% (367/1 346) in Changjiang County, followed by Haikou, Wanning, and Sanya, with rodent densities of 8.59% (155/1 804), 6.55% (77/1 176), and 5.11% (81/1 586), respectively. Different habitat types had different rodent densities, with the highest in rural residential areas at 4.49% (402/8 962); key industries (dining, food manufacturing and sales, construction sites, slaughtering, brewing, etc.) had a density of 4.41% (404/9 153); and urban residential areas had a density of 4.05% (360/8 893). In terms of seasonal fluctuation, the overall rodent density showed a downward trend after reaching its peak in May. The peak rodent density in rural residential areas was in July (5.73%), there was no distinct peak period in urban residential areas, and the peak period for key industries occurred in May (6.87%). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the rodent density in Haikou was positively correlated with average temperature and accumulated sunshine time (r=0.90, 0.9; P<0.05). Conclusions The density of rodents in Hainan Island is relatively high. Cities and counties need to compare annual monitoring data to reasonably assess the risk and formulate appropriate control measures according to the actual local situation.

Objective:
To explore the chain mediating effect of regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital on resilience and the mental health of college students.
Methods:
A total of 809 college students of Chaohu University were selected and were administered with the the Self report Symptom Invertory, Symptom Checklist,90 (SCL-90), Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Regulatory Emotional Self efficacy Scale (RES-C) and Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed, taking resilience, regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital as independent variables and the mental health of college students as dependent variables, meanwhile test the intermediary effect.
Results:
Differences were found in resilience(3.52±0.55,3.27±0.42), regulatory emotional self efficacy(3.58± 0.59 ,3.32±0.57), positive psychological capital(4.74±0.77,4.49±0.76) and mental health(158.66±33.01,176.53±34.73) among college students with different sources(urban and rural)( t =55.82,39.22,21.28,-54.14, P <0.05). Resilience, regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital were significantly associated with the severity of mental health of college students( R 2= 0.21, P <0.01). Regulatory emotional self efficacy and positive psychological capital played a significant chain mediating role between resilience and poor mental health( effect =-0.03, P <0.05), and the mediating effect accounted for 39.3% of the total effect.
Conclusion
The mental health of college students can be improved by strengthening levels of resilience and enhancing regulatory emotional self efficacy, and constructing positive psychological capital could contribute to the association between resilience and mental health.

Objective:
The study aimed to explore the relationship between childhood maltreatment (CM) and the Big Five personality traits of middle school students, so as to provide scientific evidence for promoting the healthy development of middle school students personality.
Methods:
A total of 5 724 middle school students from Xuancheng, Hefei and Huaibei of Anhui Province were selected by using a multi stage stratified cluster sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey, including demographic characteristics, CM experience and Big Five personality traits. Linear regression analysis and canonical correlation analysis were used to explore the associations between CM and the Big Five personality traits.
Results:
Physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect of middle school students were significantly associated with conscientiousness ( β = -1.71 --2.55) and neuroticism ( β =1.93-3.87) personality traits( P <0.05). Except physical abuse, all other types of CM were significantly associated with extraversion ( β =-1.04--2.32) and agreeableness ( β =-1.07--1.37) personality traits( P <0.05), and only sexual abuse was associated with openness personality trait( β=-0.70, P <0.05). Except for openness personality trait, the relationship between the number of CM experience and the personality traits of middle school students was statistically significant; there was a dose response relationship between the number of CM experiences and the scores of personality traits each dimension( P < 0.05). In the canonical correlation analysis, the canonical correlation coefficient was -0.375( P <0.05). CM experiences were mainly reflected by emotional abuse, emotional neglect and physical neglect (canonical load coefficient was 0.556-0.951). The Big Five personality traits were mainly reflected by neuroticism, conscientiousness and extraversion (canonical load coefficient was -0.702 -0.639).
Conclusion
There is a correlation between CM and the personality traits of middle school students, and prevention of CM is of great significance for promoting the healthy development of middle school students personality.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:
Tibetan tea is a kind of dark tea, due to the inherent complexity of natural products, the chemical composition and beneficial effects of Tibetan tea are not fully understood. The objective of this study was to unravel the composition of Tibetan tea using knowledge-guided multilayer network (KGMN) techniques and explore its potential antioxidant and hypolipidemic mechanisms in mice.MATERIALS/METHODS: The C57BL/6J mice were continuously gavaged with Tibetan tea extract (T group), green tea extract (G group) and ddH 2 O (H group) for 15 days. The activity of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mice was detected.Transcriptome sequencing technology was used to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the antioxidant and lipid-lowering effects of Tibetan tea in mice. Furthermore, the expression levels of liver antioxidant and lipid metabolism related genes in various groups were detected by the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method.
RESULTS:
The results showed that a total of 42 flavonoids are provisionally annotated in Tibetan tea using KGMN strategies. Tibetan tea significantly reduced body weight gain and increased T-AOC and SOD activities in mice compared with the H group. Based on the results of transcriptome and qPCR, it was confirmed that Tibetan tea could play a key role in antioxidant and lipid lowering by regulating oxidative stress and lipid metabolism related pathways such as insulin resistance, P53 signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway, fatty acid elongation and fatty acid metabolism.
CONCLUSIONS
This study was the first to use computational tools to deeply explore the composition of Tibetan tea and revealed its potential antioxidant and hypolipidemic mechanisms, and it provides new insights into the composition and bioactivity of Tibetan tea.

Objective:
To explore the mediating effect of depressive symptom on the relationship between peer bullying patterns and suicidal ideation, and to provide suggestions for school bullying and suicide prevention for adolescents.
Methods:
A follow up cohort was established in a junior middle school in Suixi County, Anhui Province in September 2019 (T1). The first follow up was conducted in September 2020 (T2). A total of 1 687 junior high school students participated in this study. Self designed peer bullying questionnaire,center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for children,and questions regarding suicide related behaviors were administered.
Results:
Prevalence of suicidal ideation, victimization and bullying were 28.3%, 27.0% and 24.4%, respectively. The latent class analysis(LCA) identified three heterogeneous peer bullying classes: low aggressive victims(71.4%), high aggressive victims(3.3%), high verbal and relational aggressive victims( 25.3 %). The low aggressive victims class was used as the reference group, T1 depressive symptom mediated the association between high aggressive victims(mediating effect=0.43, P < 0.05 ), high verbal and relational aggressive victims class (mediating effect= 0.29 , P <0.05) and T2 suicidal ideation.
Conclusion
Depressive symptom plays a mediating role in the relationship between peer bullying and suicidal ideation. In order to prevent peer bullying and suicide related psychological behaviors of adolescents, educators should pay attention to adolescents mental health when formulating corresponding measures.
10.Association between acute stress response and peer bullying behaviors among middle school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(10):1462-1466
Objective:
To explore the association between acute stress response during the outbreak of COVID 19 and peer bullying behaviors during the normalized management of COVID 19 among middle school students, and to provide a basis for developing relevant measures for peer bullying prevention.
Methods:
In December 2020, a total of 2 219 students from two junior middle schools in South Anhui(Xuancheng City) and North Anhui(Huaibei City), were selected to participate in this study by using the cluster sampling method. The occurrence of verbal bullying, relational bullying, physical bullying and cyberbullying behaviors among victims and perpetrators of bullying, and self rated acute stress response during the outbreak of COVID 19 (social isolation) were investigated. Multiple Logistic regression models were conducted to explore the relationship between different levels of acute stress response during the COVID 19 outbreak and peer bullying behaviors among middle school students.
Results:
The reported rate of peer bullying, being bullied by others and bullying others during the COVID19 normalized management were 65.8%, 63.8% and 27.1%, respectively. The reporting rate of verbal bullying victimization was the highest (54.8%) and cyberbullying others was the lowest (4.6%). The mean score of acute stress response among middle school students during the COVID 19 outbreak was (6.50±1.67). Except for physically bullying others, the reported rate of other bullying behaviors was the highest in the high level acute stress response group ( P <0.05). Multiple Logistic regression models showed that high levels of acute stress response were associated with high risk of verbal bullying victimization ( OR =1.38), relational bullying victimization ( OR =2.28), physical bullying victimization ( OR =1.87) and cyberbullying victimization ( OR =2.30) after adjusting for related confounders. In the high level acute stress response group, verbal bullying ( OR =1.80), relational bullying ( OR =1.99), physical bullying ( OR =1.76) and cyberbullying ( OR =2.32) had higher risks of bullying others than in the low level acute stress response group ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
High levels of acute stress response are associated with different peer bullying behaviors, with stronger associations with cyberbullying.
