Background: The prevalence of clinically diagnosed depressive disorders (DD) in Chinese left-behind children (LBC) remains unknown. We aim to estimate the prevalence of DD, discuss the associations between DD and self-harm (SH) behaviors in a large representative sample of Chinese LBCs chosen from Yunnan province.

Methods: A total of 5462 LBCs were selected from the most recent datasets of the Mental Health Survey for Children and Adolescents in Yunnan (MHSCAY), a mega population-based two-phase cross-sectional survey.

Association between sensory processing sensitivity and quality of life among cancer patients: a mediation and moderation of resilience and social determinants.

Background: Individuals with sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) tend to be overreactive in response to negative environmental stimuli. More is known about the positive relationship between SPS and quality of life (QoL); nevertheless, less is known regarding the roles of resilience and social determinants in this association. This research aimed to investigate the potential mediation effect of resilience and the moderation effect of social determinants on the relationship between SPS and QoL in a large sample of Chinese cancer patients.

Social poverty indicators with school bullying victimization: evidence from the global school-based student health survey (GSHS).

Background: School bullying is prevalent in children and adolescents. Bullying victims are seen higher risk of negative psychological outcomes. Previously published studies suggested that social indicators may pose significant influence on bullying victimization.

Prognostic value of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in digestive system cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Existing literature suggests that tertiary lymphatic structure (TLS) is associated with the progression of cancer. However, the prognostic role of TLS in digestive system cancers remains controversial. This meta-analysis aims to synthesize currently available evidence in the association between TLS and the survival of digestive system cancers.

Treatment Rates for Mental Disorders Among Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Importance: Mental disorders among children and adolescents are global health concerns. Published studies have provided discordant results regarding treatment rates for mental disorders among youths.

Objective: To estimate combined treatment rates for several common psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents.

Fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio predicts overall survival of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) has been found to be of prognostic significance for several types of malignant tumors. However, less is known about the association between FAR and survival outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

Aim: To explore the association between FAR and prognosis and survival in patients with HCC.

Childhood maltreatment and parenting style associated school bullying in Chinese children and adolescents: An analytical epidemiology evidence.

Objective: The independent associations among childhood maltreatment (CM), parenting style, and school bullying in children and adolescents have not been adequately discussed. Epidemiological evidence of higher quality is still scarce. We intend to investigate this topic by using a case-control study design in a large sample of Chinese children and adolescents.

Social indicators with serious injury and school bullying victimization in vulnerable adolescents aged 12-15 years: Data from the Global School-Based Student Survey.

Objective: The prevalence rates of injury and bullying victimization in adolescents are continuing to rise; however, little is known about the influence of social determinants, especially for vulnerable adolescents. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of serious injury and bullying victimization in vulnerable adolescents with mental health issues or poor social support and examine the associations between social indicators and these two outcomes.

Method: We used the most recent datasets from the Global School-based Student Health Survey, and vulnerable adolescents aged 12-15 years from 54 countries were included.

Resilience mediates parenting style associated school bullying victimization in Chinese children and adolescents.

Background: Existing evidence has shown that negative parenting style elevates the risk of school bullying victimization in children and adolescents. Resilience may play as a mediating factor in this association. However, this hypothesis has not been investigated.

Association between school bullying victimization and self-harm in a sample of Chinese children and adolescents: The mediating role of perceived social support.

Background: Studies indicated that bullying victimization (BV) is an important risk factor for self-harm in children and adolescents. However, it is unclear whether perceived social support significantly mediates this association. This study aimed to examine the association between BV and self-harm, with a particular focus on the mediating role of perceived social support.

Childhood maltreatment and depressive disorders in Chinese children and adolescents: A population-based case-control study.

Objective: The association between childhood maltreatment (CM) and clinically diagnosed depressive disorders (DD) in children and adolescents remains inconclusive, in large part due to a lack of high-quality epidemiological evidence. This study aimed to investigate the association between CM and DD in a large sample of Chinese children and adolescents.

Methods: The study subjects were chosen from the Mental Health Survey for Children and Adolescents in Yunnan (MHSCAY), and a population-based and individually-matched case-control study design was adopted.

Spatial and temporal analysis of liver cancer mortality in Yunnan province, China, 2015-2019.

Liver cancer is a major public health challenge. Few published studies reported temporal trend and geographical distribution of liver cancer mortality in China, especially in less developed southwest regions with higher liver cancer incidence. In the current study, we obtained liver cancer mortality data from population-based death surveillance system in Yunnan province in 2015-2019.

Association between hypomania and self-harm behaviors in Chinese children and adolescents with depressive symptoms.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with a higher risk of self-harm (SH) when compared with depression. Therefore, it is reasonable to suspect that the state of mania or hypomania may independently contribute to increased SH risk. However, for hypomania, its association with SH remains less known.

Depression and anxiety among children and adolescents pre and post COVID-19: A comparative meta-analysis.

Background: Published studies in comparing pre and post the COVID-19 pandemic depression and anxiety levels among children and adolescents yielded incongruent results. Therefore, there is a necessity to perform a timely meta-analysis to synthesize existing evidence.

Methods: A total of 10 digital databases (PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, ScienceDirect, CNKI, WanFang, CQVIP) were fully searched for eligible studies published before November 6, 2021.
