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 investigate the value of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (THR), monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR), and neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) in predicting patients’ coronary artery stenosis severity and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). [Methods] A total of 6 281 patients who underwent coronary angiography at our hospital between June 2021 and June 2023 were retrospectively included in this study. These patients were divided into two groups: PCI group and non-PCI group. The clinical data, laboratory findings, and interventional treatment data of all patients were collected and analyzed. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to evaluate the correlation of THR, MHR and NHR with the degree of coronary artery stenosis. Binary Logistic stepwise regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were utilized to assess the influencing factors and predictive value of THR, MHR and NHR single and combined indexes for coronary artery disease patients undergoing PCI. [Results] The PCI group was observed to be older, with a higher proportion of males, individuals with diabetes mellitus, and those who had undergone THR, MHR, NHR, and a Gensini score than the non-PCI group. Conversely, the proportion of previous stent implantation was less than that of the non-PCI group (P<0.05). The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant and positive correlation of the Gensini score with THR (r=0.351, P<0.001), MHR (r=0.192, P<0.001), and NHR (r=0.236, P<0.001) levels, indicating that these variables had a significantly positive correlation with the degree of coronary artery stenosis. The results of multifactorial Logistic regression demonstrated that age >50 years, male sex, diabetes mellitus, THR, MHR, and NHR were independent risk factors for PCI in patients with coronary artery disease. Conversely, a history of previous stent implantation was identified as a protective factor for PCI in patients with coronary artery disease. Furthermore, the results of ROC curves indicated that the combined area under the curve (AUC) was the largest for THR, MHR, and NHR (AUC=0.809, 95%CI: 0.798-0.820). [Conclusion] THR, MHR and NHR correlate with the degree of coronary stenosis and have strong clinical applications in the assessment of coronary artery disease for PCI.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for severe distal curve progression after posterior hemivertebra (HV) resection and short-segment fixation in patients with congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis (CTS), and to analyze the surgical revision strategy.Methods:Imaging and clinical data of patients who underwent posterior HV resection and short-segment fixation for CTS between August 2012 and August 2021 at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 55 patients were recruited, including 27 females and 28 males with an average age of 8.5±3.6 years (range 3-15 years) at surgery and an average Risser grade of 0.7±1.4 (range 0-4). The number of fused segments averaged 6.9±1.6 (range 4-10), and the mean follow-up was 38.7±18.9 months (range 9-94 months). According to the severity of distal curve progression, the recruited patients were divided into three groups: non-progression group (NPG), mild progression group (MPG), and severe progression group (SPG). The latter two groups were collectively called the progression group (PG). The cervicothoracic Cobb angle, T1 tilt angle, coronal balance distance (CBD), neck tilt angle, clavicular angle, head tilt angle, head shift, and upper (UIV) and lower instrument vertebra (LIV) tilt angle on the standing whole spine X-ray were measured before and after surgery and at the last follow-up. The correction rate of the Cobb angle in the osteotomy area was measured and calculated on CT three-dimensional reconstruction, and the proportion of patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) was recorded. Statistical analysis was conducted on the various parameters between the two groups. For factors with statistical significance in the single-factor analysis, binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the high-risk factors for distal curve progression.Results:There were 38 cases in the NPG, 11 in the MPG, and 6 in the SPG. Compared to the NPG, the PG showed more severe coronal imbalance preoperatively, with CBD of 35.6±22.3 mm and 11.6±7.1 mm respectively; more severe neck tilt and head shift, with neck tilt angle of 17.4°±8.3° and 12.4°±6.9° respectively, and head shift of 22.8±17.7 mm and 13.9±9.8 mm respectively; and a higher proportion of KFS, 65% (11/17) and 34% (13/38) respectively, all with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Postoperatively, the PG showed more severe coronal imbalance compared with the NPG, with 17.3±12.7 mm and 9.6±8.1 mm respectively; more evident residual deformity, with cervical tilt angles of 9.4°±4.6° and 6.4°±5.3° respectively, and head shift of 14.7±7.4 mm and 9.1±5.9 mm respectively; lower correction of Cobb angle in the apical osteotomy region, with rates of 40.1%±15.2% and 50.3%±19.9% respectively; more significant UIV and LIV tilt, with UIV tilt angles of 14.3°±7.4° and 9.8°±5.3° respectively, and LIV tilt angles of 8.1°±5.5° and 4.5°±3.6° respectively, all with statistical significance ( P<0.05). SPG showed only more severe coronal imbalance preoperatively compared with the MPG, with 50.7±31.3 mm and 27.3±9.6 mm respectively; and head shift, with 33.5±25.0 mm and 16.9±11.0 mm respectively, all with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between significant preoperative coronal imbalance and postoperative distal scoliosis progression [ OR=1.299, 95% CI (1.101, 1.531), P=0.002]. Five cases (83.3%) in SPG underwent revision surgery with an average follow-up of 25 months, and selecting the LIV down to the stable region was the major revision strategy. Conclusion:Combined KFS, residual cervicothoracic deformities, and tilting of UIV and LIV are key causes, whereas significant preoperative coronal imbalance is an independent risk factor predisposing to the distal curve progression.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes between three-column osteotomy and posterior-column osteotomy for correcting dystrophic kyphoscoliosis secondary to neurofibromatosis type 1 (DKS-NF1).Methods:ALL of 84 patients with DKS-NF1 were retrospectively analyzed, and the average age was 17.7±6.9 years. There were 50 cases with single curve, 18 cases with double curves, and 16 cases with triple curves; kyphosis was found in 42 cases in the thoracic area, 31 cases in the thoracolumbar area, and 11 cases in the lumbar area. The patients were divided into two groups: posterior column osteotomy group and three column osteotomy group based on surgical strategy. The radiographic parameters (including the magnitude of kyphosis, scoliosis, coronal balance distance, etc.) were compared between the two groups before and after surgery, and during the follow-up. The surgical efficacy was also compared based on the spinal correction and complications (such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, pneumothorax, rod breakage, etc.).Results:The posterior column osteotomy group consisted of 74 patients and the column osteotomy group consisted of 10 patients. The age of patients in the posterior column osteotomy group was significantly younger than that in the three-column osteotomy group (15.8±4.8 years vs. 29.4±10.2 years, t=7.088, P<0.001), and the proportion of preoperative traction in this group was significantly higher than that in the three column osteotomy group (26/74 vs. 0, P=0.027). The apex of kyphosis in the three-column osteotomy group mainly located in the thoracolumbar and lumbar area, significantly higher than that in the posterior column osteotomy group (10/10 vs. 32/74, P=0.001). The magnitude of kyphosis in the two groups were 73.8°±20.9° and 63.1°±21.4° before surgery, respectively ( t=1.506, P=0.136). After surgery, they were corrected to 43.1°±20.9° and 21.1°±22.8°, respectively ( t=3.066, P=0.003), with correction rates of 43.7% ±19.6% and 84.1% ±78.7%, respectively ( t=3.677, P<0.001). At the last follow-up, they were maintained at 46.5°±20.9° and 24.6°±25.5°, respectively ( t=3.016, P=0.003). The Cobb angle of the main curve was corrected from preoperative 83.0°±29.0° and 66.3°±17.7° ( t=1.766, P=0.081) to postoperative 50.6°±20.8° and 40.8°±15.6° ( t=1.436, P=0.155), with correction rates of 38.3% ±16.6% and 39.3% ±12.7% ( t=0.191, P=0.849), respectively. At the last follow-up, they were maintained at 52.3°±20.5° and 43.1°±18.2°, respectively ( t=1.339, P=0.185). The proportion of multi-rod system application and screw density in three column osteotomy group was significantly higher than that in posterior column osteotomy group (8/10 vs. 20/74, P=0.002; 72.0% ±11.3% vs. 61.4% ±14.6%, t=2.173, P=0.033). The incidence of complications in the two groups was 12.2% (posterior column osteotomy group, 9/74) and 20% (three column osteotomy group, 2/10), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.613). Conclusion:Three-column osteotomy is mainly used to treat adult kyphosis in DKS-NF1 patients. While the posterior column osteotomy methods were mainly applied in young patients. Most patients can achieve the purpose of deformity correction by posterior column osteotomy alone or combined with anterior complementary fusion. For patients with severe kyphosis, preoperative Halo gravity traction can help to further correct the intraoperative deformities.

Objective:To explore the benefits of transradial diagnostic cerebral angiography in elderly patients and its correlation with morphometric parameters of the aortic arch.Methods:Clinical data and aortic arch CTA imaging parameters of patients who underwent cerebral angiography at the Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Hospital, between May 2022 and April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The study aimed to compare the time taken for angiography via radial artery access in elderly patients versus younger patients, as well as via femoral artery access, and to evaluate the associated aortic arch morphology parameters.Results:A total of 101 patients' data were analyzed, with 67 males(66.3%)and an average age of 63.4±12.0 years.Among them, 69 patients(68.3%)were aged 60 and above.The arterial approach for 44 patients(43.6%)was radial, while 57 cases(56.4%)used the femoral artery approach.In the elderly group, 14 cases(20.6%), 31 cases(45.6%), and 23 cases(33.8%)had type Ⅲ aortic arch, respectively.For younger patients, 17 cases(53.1%), 12 cases(37.5%), and 3 cases(9.4%)fell into these categories.The distribution difference was statistically significant( χ2=12.765, P=0.002).Elderly patients had a larger aortic arch width angle compared to younger patients(106°±12°and 100°±12°, t=2.334, P=0.022).The time for whole-brain angiography via radial artery was shorter for elderly patients than via femoral artery(39.8±29.5 minutes and 52.2±28.4 minutes, respectively, t=1.845, P=0.070).In young patients, there was no significant time difference between the two approaches(42.3±30.4 minutes for radial artery and 34.6±11.2 minutes for femoral artery, t=1.026, P=0.313).In the type Ⅱ aortic arch group, the average times for transradial and transfemoral approaches were 38.1±21.7 minutes and 46.7±32.2 minutes, respectively( t=1.020, P=0.314).The average times for the type Ⅲ aortic arch group were 41.9±37.3 minutes and 48.9±20.7 minutes, respectively.Correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the duration of radial artery access and the distance from the origin of the innominate artery to the left subclavian artery(Pearson correlation coefficien( r=-0.372, P=0.014). Conclusions:In elderly patients, particularly those with type Ⅱ or Ⅲ aortic arch or a wide aortic arch, diagnostic cerebral angiography using transradial access is preferable to femoral access.The distance between the innominate artery and the left subclavian artery origin could impact the duration of the procedure.
