Objective:
To explore the assocation of the family environment and depressive symptoms among primary and middle school students, so as to provide suggestions for further maximizing the utility of family environment in the growth of primary and secondary school students, as well as prevention and intervention of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents.
Methods:
From June to July 2024, through a multistage cluster random sampling method, 8 800 primary and middle school students aged 10 to 18 from 36 schools in 3 cities (Datong, Lvliang, Linfen) in Shanxi Province. A self designed questionnaire was used to conduct a family environment survey, including family socioeconomic conditions, family structure, family parenting behavior, family member health behavior, etc; and the depression symptoms of primary and secondary school students were investigated by Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The χ 2 test and binary Logistic regression to method were used to analyze the association of the family environment with depressive symptoms among primary and secondary school students, and to analyze gender and urban-rural heterogeneity in this association.
Results:
The detection rate of depressive symptoms among primary and middle school students was 46.7% ( n = 4 111 ). Among them, the detection rates of depressive symptoms for male and female students were 45.7% and 47.7% respectively, and the detection rates for rural and urban students were 48.0% and 44.9% respectively. The results of binary Logistic regression model showed that in the family environment, factors such as the father s education level (junior high school: OR =0.84), self assessed family socio economic status (average: OR =0.78, good: OR =0.80), parental support and understanding (yes: OR = 0.55 ), family atmosphere (harmonious: OR =0.66), living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.31, living with parents and grandparents: OR =1.19), and family rearing style (combining punishment and reward: OR =1.42, punishment only: OR =1.25) were related to depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students in Shanxi Province ( P <0.05). From the perspective of gender heterogeneity, the living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.67, others: OR =1.67) had a statistically significant association with depressive symptoms in male students ( P <0.05). From the perspective of urban rural heterogeneity, the living arrangement (living only with father or mother: OR =1.38) had a statistically significant association with depressive symptoms in rural primary and middle school students ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
The family environment has an important impact on depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students. Family functioning should be fully exerted to prevent depressive symptoms in primary and middle school students.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(1):25-29
Objective:
To describe the association of different sleep characteristics and cardiometabolic risk among college students, so as to provide reference for health promotion of college students.
Methods:
By random cluster sampling method, a questionnaire survey and physical examination including blood pressure, waist circumference and blood lipid indicators, which were conducted in April and May of 2019 among a total of 1 179 college students from the first grade in two universities in Hefei City of Anhui Province and Shangrao City of Jiangxi Province. A total of 729 college students with valid questionnaires were included into analysis. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were used to investigate sleep behavior, and the Morning And Evening Questionnaire-5 (MEQ-5) was used to investigate sleep characteristics. The cardiometabolic risk score was derived using the sum of the standardized sex specific Z scores of waist circumference, mean arterial pressure, HDL cholesterol (multiplied by -1), triglycerides, and insulin resistance index. The rank sum tests were used to compare differences in cardiometabolic risk scores across demographic characteristics. Generalized linear models were used to compare the association of different sleep characteristics with cardiometabolic risk scores among college students.
Results:
The average cardiovascular metabolic risk score of college students was -0.32(-2.03, 1.58). There were statistically significant differences in cardiovascular metabolic risk scores among college students in variables such as smoking, health status, and physical activity levels ( t/F=-3.41, 12.88, 51.07, P <0.01). The results of the generalized linear model showed that nighttime preference ( B=1.89, 95%CI =1.02-3.49), insomnia symptoms ( B=3.25, 95%CI =1.79-5.90), and short or long sleep duration ( B=1.92, 95%CI =1.21-3.05) were positively correlated with the cardiovascular metabolic risk score of college students ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Poor sleep patterns among college students are positively correlated with the risk of cardiovascular metabolism. The sleep behavior of college students should be actively changed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cation exchange chromatography, as a commonly used separation and purification technique in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, is often employed for downstream processes to separate target monoclonal antibodies from their charge variants. For samples with complex and poorly resolved charge variant profiles, the collection solely based on ultraviolet detection does not provide specific compositional information for individual charge variants, making it challenging to determine the range of pooled fractions directly. Subsequent laborious fractionation analysis is then required to guide collection according to production requirements. A mechanistic model for the cation exchange chromatography process of the target monoclonal antibody's critical components was established, and it was employed to assist in product collection. The model accurately predicted the elution peak shapes of the modeled variants, with a root mean square error between predicted and actual values below 0.009. In comparison to the online ultraviolet-based collection method, the model-assisted collection method not only visualized the chromatographic process but also increased the relative productivity by fourfold while ensuring compliance rate.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of cryptotanshinone on premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) rats and its potential mechanism based on stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXC subfamily receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis. METHODS POI rat model was established by intraperitoneal injection of vinylcyclohexene (VCD). The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, cryptotanshinone low-dose group (50 mg/kg), cryptotanshinone high-dose group (100 mg/kg), and cryptotanshinone high-dose+AMD3100 group (100 mg/kg cryptotanshinone+2.5 mg/kg CXCR4 inhibitor AMD3100), with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 rats were injected with normal saline instead of VCD as the control group. Rats in each drug group were given intragastrical or (and) intraperitoneal injection of the corresponding drug once a day for 4 weeks. The levels of estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in serum and reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in ovarian tissue were detected in each group. The morphology of ovarian tissue was observed. The cell apoptosis of ovarian tissue, as well as the mRNA expressions of SDF-1, CXCR4 and the protein expressions of caspase-3, B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), SDF- 1, CXCR4 were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the ovarian atrophied, the number of primitive follicles decreased, the number of atretic follicles increased, and the damage was obvious in the model group. Serum E2 level, SOD and GSH-Px levels in ovarian tissue, the mRNA expressions of SDF-1 and CXCR4, and the protein expressions of Bcl-2, SDF-1 and CXCR4 in ovarian tissue were all significantly decreased or down-regulated; the levels of FSH and LH in serum, ROS and MDA levels in ovarian tissue, the cell apoptosis rate, and the protein expressions of caspase-3 and Bax in ovarian tissue mail:k26awn@163.com were increased or upregulated significantly (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the ovarian tissue lesions of rats in cryptotanshinone low-dose and high-dose groups were significantly improved, and each quantitative index was significantly improved (P<0.05). AMD3100 could significantly reverse the improvement effect of cryptotanshinone on the above indexes (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cryptotanshinone can reduce ovarian cell apoptosis and oxidative stress in POI rats by activating the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis, regulating serum hormone levels, thereby improving ovarian injury.
