To understand the incidence and risk factors of high-risk drowning behaviors among primary and middle school students in Shufu county, Kashgar area, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and provide a theoretical basis for the development of drowning prevention policies and intervention measures. Cluster random sampling method was adopted in Bulakesu and Uppal of Shufu county. A total of 28 primaries and 2 middle schools were selected, and questionnaires surveyed all the students in grades 1-8. A total of 14 543 questionnaires were sent out. 23.9% of primary and secondary school students had experienced high-risk drowning behavior in the past 12 months. Higher swimming level, introversion, intense curiosity, poor relationship with classmates, poor relationship with family, and open water near the school and open water near home were the risk factors of high-risk drowning behaviors. More attention should be paid to the psychology and high-risk behaviors of primary and middle school students, and the education of drowning knowledge and skills should be strengthened. Meanwhile, schools and communities should pay attention to the management and intervention of open water.

Article Synopsis
  • Herbal polysaccharides, like Lagenaria siceraria polysaccharide (LSP50), are being studied as safe and effective adjuvants for vaccines due to their ability to enhance immune responses.
  • Structural analysis of LSP50 showed it contains a mix of sugars (rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, glucose, and galactose) in specific ratios.
  • The research found that LSP50 significantly boosts immune responses in broiler chickens vaccinated against H9N2, improving immune organ indices, specific antibody levels, cytokine production, and T-cell proportions, while also regulating key genes in the immune response pathway.
