ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the mental health status and its influencing factors among middle school students in Xide County， Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture， and to provide references for mental health interventions for local middle school students. MethodsUsing a cross-sectional study design， one junior middle school and one senior middle school in Xide County， Liangshan Prefecture， Sichuan Province， were randomly selected on September 16， 2021， and two classes per grade in each school involving 288 students were recruited. Subjects were assessed using Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item （GAD-7）， PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 （PCL-5）， Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support （MSPSS） and UCLA Loneliness Scale （ULS-3）. Then the scores of above scales were compared among middle school students with different demographic characteristics， and binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the influencing factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD） symptoms. ResultsAmong the respondents， 17.71% （95% CI： 0.133~0.221）， 8.68% （95% CI： 0.054~0.120）， 2.78% （95% CI： 0.009~0.047） and 45.83% （95% CI： 0.400~0.516） were reported to have symptoms of depression， anxiety， PTSD and loneliness， respectively. Students in senior middle school scored lower on PCL-5 and ULS-3 than those in junior middle school ［（6.46±8.91） vs. （8.87±9.42）， t=2.202， P<0.05； （4.67±1.65） vs. （5.60±1.88）， t=4.431， P<0.01］. Regression analysis denoted that depressive symptoms （OR=7.630， P<0.05） and anxiety symptoms （OR=3.789， P<0.01） were risk factors for PTSD symptoms among middle school students. ConclusionThe middle school students in Xide County， Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture suffer a high prevalence rate of depressive symptoms and loneliness， and those in junior middle school are more likely to feel a sense of strong loneliness， furthermore， depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms are risk factors for PTSD symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the feasibility of sustained-release ibuprofen gel as a new local drug and its efficacy in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.Methods:Sustained-release ibuprofen gel was manufactured with PLGA as sustained-release adjuvant.Its release in vitro was tested by UV-spectrophotometer.60 teeth from 30 chronic periodontitis patients were chosen.Each patient had two teeth which were similar.The two teeth of every patient were divided into experiment group and control group.After scaling and root planning the sustained-release ibuprofen gel was injected into the pocket in the experiment group every week,two times in all.While those in the control group only had scaling and root planning.The local symptoms,sulcus bleeding index(SBI),probing depth(PD) and attachment level(AL) of the two groups were observed in the second and fourth week after treatment.Results obtained from the two groups were compared.Results:There were significant differences in each clinical index between the experiment group and the control group(P
