3.Effectiveness of online and offline health education myopia intervention on primary school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(11):1720-1723
Objective:
To assess the effectiveness of online and offline myopia prevention and control health education interventions using wearable behavior monitoring tools for non myopic elementary school students,so as to provide evidence based medical support for public health practices.
Methods:
From May to June in 2021, two schools were selected within the same county in Jiangsu Province. School 1 conducted online and offline parental health education ( n =111), while school 2 exclusively conducted offline health education activities, representing the traditional intervention group ( n =122). Students from both schools underwent monitoring through wearable behavior tracking tools, with feedback reports provided (eye distance, eye duration, ambient light, and outdoor exposure time). Both schools relied on activities to carry out health education interventions, and organized the distribution of promotional materials and display boards. The intervention group also established WeChat groups to conduct online "Healthy Parents Action" (answering and providing feedback on health knowledge related to myopia prevention and control, myopia prevention and control, science popularization, etc. raised by parents). Evaluation criteria included myopia rates, post dilation refractive error, and axial length, with a tracking period of two years (from 2021 to 2023). Additionally, the study collected refractive parameters from non myopic students who did not participate in wearable tool monitoring in the 12 classes across the two schools.
Results:
The baseline results indicated that there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of refractive parameters and wearable tool monitoring results (including screen time, viewing distance, outdoor exposure time, and homework light exposure)( t/Z/χ 2=1.94,1.17,0.58,0.40,0.80,0.69,0.32, P >0.05). After a two-year follow up, in the first and second year, the myopia rate of the online Healthy Parents Action group (11.4%, 29.7%) were lower than that of the traditional group (26.2%, 50.9%), and the degree of refractive change in the intervention group [0.63(0.38,1.19)D] was lower than that of the traditional group [0.91(0.40,1.50)D], and all the differences were statistically significant( χ 2/ Z =4.93,10.37,2.29, P <0.05). However, there were no significant differences ( P >0.05) in axial length changes between the two groups over the twoyear intervention period. Nevertheless, in the second year, the axial length change in the traditional group [0.35(0.20,0.65)mm] was lower than that in the natural observation group [0.55(0.30,0.75)mm], and this difference was statistically significant ( Z =1.92, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Online and offline myopia prevention and control health education can effectively reduce myopia rates. The intervention mode combining wearable behavior monitoring tools with online health education may have better effects, but further large sample and multi center studies are needed to provide additional evidence and confirmation.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC). 【Methods】 The clinicopathological and follow-up data of 40 CCPRCC patients treated during Jun. 2011 and Oct.2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The prognosis was compared with that of 40 cases of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and 19 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) treated in the same period. Survival analysis was performed by Log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted. 【Results】 Among the 40 patients, 28 were male and 12 were female, aged 31-84 years; 38 cases had unilateral and 2 cases had bilateral tumors; 3 cases had multifocal lesions. All patients received surgery. The maximum diameter of the masses ranged from 3.0 to 95.0 mm, with an average of (27.6±18.1) mm. Pathological grade was Fuhrman 1-2 in all cases. Immunohistochemical tests were positive for CK7 and CA-IX. During the follow-up of 5-129 (average 56) months, 1 case died after bone metastasis, 2 had ipsilateral recurrence, and 1 developed primary esophageal cancer. CCPRCC patients had a significantly better prognosis than CCRCC (P<0.001) and PRCC (P=0.005) patients, while there was no significant difference in the prognosis between CCRCC and PRCC patients (P=0.93). 【Conclusions】 CCPRCC has low malignancy. The diagnosis relies on characteristic pathological and immunohistochemical features. Surgery is an effective treatment. CCPRCC has a better overall prognosis than CCRCC and PRCC.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in myocardial contusion.Methods:A case-control study was performed on 42 patients with blunt chest injury treated in Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from September 2018 to January 2021. There were 24 males and 18 females, with the age range of 23-66 years [(44.2±10.9)years]. The patients were divided into myocardial contusion group ( n=20) and non-myocardial contusion group ( n=22) according to the clinical diagnostic criteria of myocardial contusion (cardiac troponin I>0.06 ng/ml). All the patients underwent CMR examination within 7 days after hospitalization, and eletrocardiography (ECG) as well as transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examinations with 24 hours. Abnormal findings on CMR, ECG and TTE were compared between the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used for the comparison of the diagnostic efficacy of CMR, ECG and TTE for myocardial contusion. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and Youden index of CMR, ECG and TTE were calculated, respectively. Results:There were 15 patients (75%) presenting CMR abnormalities in myocardial contusion group compared to 2 patients (9%) in non-myocardial contusion group ( P<0.01). CMR abnormalities mainly included myocardial oedema, ischemia or hemorrhage, which were located in the left ventricle of 12 patients (71%), right ventricle of 3 (18%) and ventricular septal of 3 (12%). There were 12 patients (60%) showing ECG abnormalities in myocardial contusion group compared to 7 patients (32%) in non-myocardial contusion group ( P>0.05). Abnormal ECG changes included 8 patients (42%) with sinus tachycardia or bradycardia, 5 (26%) with ST-T changes, 3 (16%) with atrial premature beat, 2 (11%) with bundle branch block and 1 (5%) with frequent premature ventricular contractions. There were 10 patients (50%) showing TTE abnormalities in myocardial contusion group compared to 9 patients (41%) in non-myocardial contusion group ( P>0.05). TTE abnormalities manifested as left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in 12 patients (63%) and wall motion abnormalities in 7 (37%). The AUC of CMR, ECG and TTE for diagnosing myocardial contusion was 0.83 (95% CI 0.70-0.96), 0.64 (95% CI 0.47-0.81) and 0.55 (95% CI 0.70-0.72), respectively. For CMR, ECG and TTE, the diagnostic sensitivity was 75.0%, 60.0% and 50.0%, with the specificity of 91.0%, 68.2% and 59.1%, the positive predictive value was 88.2%, 63.2% and 52.6%, and the Youden index of 66.0, 28.2 and 9.1, respectively. Conclusion:CMR can accurately detect myocardial contusion, with better diagnostic performance than ECG and TTE as well as relatively higher sensitivity and specificity, indicating that CMR has great value for clinical diagnosis of myocardial contusion.

Objective:
To survey the conduction and evaluate the effectiveness of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in China mainland.
Methods:
In a questionnaire-based survey, we retrospectively reviewed the application of ECMO in children's hospital and general hospital in China mainland to summarize and analyze the categories of diseases and prognosis of children treated with ECMO therapy.
Results:
By December 31, 2017, a total of 23 hospitals using ECMO, including 22 tertiary referral hospitals and 1 secondary hospital, among which 16 were children′s hospitals and 7 were general hospitals. Thirty-seven ECMO equipment was available. A total of 518 patients treated with ECMO, within whom 323 (62.4%) successfully weaned from ECMO and 262 (50.6%) survived to discharge. Among 375 pediatric patients, 233 (62.1%) were successfully weaned from ECMO and 186 (49.6%) survived to discharge. Among 143 newborn patients, 90 (62.9%) successfully weaned from ECMO, 76 (53.1%) survived to discharge. ECMO was applied in veno-arterial (VA) mode to 501 (96.7%) patients, veno-venous (VV) mode to 14 (2.7%) patients, and VV-VA conversion mode to 3 (0.6%) patients. Sixty-nine patients required extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), including 20 newborn patients (29.0%) and 38 pediatric patients (71.0%), who were all with cardiovascular disease. Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (26/61), persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) (12/61), and meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) (11/61) are the most common pulmonary diseases in newborn patients; among whom, infants with PPHN had highest survival rate (10/12), followed by MAS (9/11). Among newborn patients with cardiovascular diseases, those who admitted were after surgery for congenital cardiac disease were the most common (54/82), while those with septic shock had the highest survival rate (2/3). In pediatric pulmonary diseases, acute respiratory distress syndrome was the most common (42/93), while plastic bronchitis was with the highest survival rate (4/4), followed by viral pneumonia (13/16). Among pediatric cardiovascular diseases, congenital cardiac defect was the most common (124/282), while fulminant myocarditis had the highest survival rate (54/77).
Conclusion
The application of ECMO as a rescue therapy for children with severe cardiopulmonary failure has dramatically developed in China mainland.
