Background Depression and anxiety are topical concerns worldwide, especially among adolescents. Besides, biological rhythm disorder as a candidate mechanism for mood disorders is highly prevalent, but relevant research among adolescents in China is presently limited. We conducted the present study to investigate the distribution of multi-dimensional self-rating biological rhythm disorder and the association of self-rating biological rhythm disorders with depression and anxiety symptoms among Chinese adolescents in different academic stages. Methods In the cross-sectional study, 3693 students aged 11–23 from Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, China were included. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) were used to evaluate symptoms of depression and anxiety, respectively. Additionally, the Self-Rating of Biological Rhythm Disorder for Adolescents (SBRDA) was used to assess status of biological rhythm disorders. Multivariate logistic regression was developed to explore factors potentially associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety stratified by academic stages. Results Among all participants, 44.14 and 36.15% suffered from depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. On average, participants scored 74.66 ± 19.37 on the measure of total biological rhythm disorder. Adjusted for demographic confounding factors, the logistic regression analysis showed higher scores of total biological rhythm disorder were associated with more severe depression (OR = 14.38, 95%CI: 11.38–18.16) and anxiety symptoms (OR = 11.63, 95%CI: 9.14–14.81). The similar results were also found in the stratified analysis by academic stages. Conclusions Self-rating biological rhythm disorders are significantly associated with depression and anxiety symptoms among adolescents. Discrepancy across academic stages should also be taken into account in establishing public health strategies.

Coaxial powder feeding technology in the field of metal additive manufacturing is booming. In this paper, a new laser cladding nozzle with powder feeding channels of inner and outer rings is designed. The nozzle works with a new kind of laser, which is a new heat source with an inner beam and outer beams. The water-cooling channels are simulated in Ansys Workbench. The simulation results present the temperature distribution of the working nozzle and the velocity of the cooling water. The thermal dilation of the nozzle in the working environment is also simulated. The results show that the loop water cooling channel could effectively reduce the high temperature of the nozzle down to about 200 °C. In addition, it could well restrain the thermal deformation of the nozzle lower to 0.35 mm. The equivalent stress of most parts is controlled under 360 MPa. Then, the powder flows of the inner and outer rings of the multiple powder feeding channels are simulated in Ansys Fluent. The convergence effect of the powder flow could be assumed and some significant parameters, such as the velocity, are acquired. The results present that these multiple powder feeding channels could realize the generation and removal of removable supports of workpieces with highly complex shapes and achieve a large processing range and good processing efficiency. The velocity of the powder flow at the outlet is elevated to about 5 mm/s. Then, the thermal cladding states under the new laser heat source of the powder are simulated in Workbench. The temperature of the melting process and the thermal deformation and the equivalent stress/strain of the additive parts are obtained in the emulation. The results emerge that the powder melting range and the ascending temperature of the melting pool are improved with this effect. The greatest temperature of the melting pool is about 2900 °C in the machining process, and the maximum thermal equivalent stress is 1.1407 × 1010 Pa.
