To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen, kidney essence deficiency, liver constraint transforming into fire, and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen (TE 21), Tinggong (SI 19), Tinghui (GB 2), Shenmai (BL 62) to regulate qi and blood, and supporting with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Taichong (LR 3), and Yanglingquan (GB 34) to soothe the liver, resolve constraint, and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction (益气聪明汤) and Tongqi Powder (通气散), and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder (温清散) to navel moxibustion.

Objective:To investigate the dynamic trend of platelet(PLT)count and mean platelet volume(MPV)in children with severe community-acquired pneumonia(SCAP)in PICU and their correlation with prognosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in 215 SCAP children who were admitted to the PICU of Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2019.According to the disease outcome,the patients were divided into improvement group ( n=184) and unrecovered group ( n=31).The changes of PLT count and MPV at admission,on the 2nd,3rd,and 7th days of hospitalization and before discharge were observed,and the relationship between changes in PLT parameters and poor prognosis was analyzed. Meanwhile,the correlation between thrombocytopenia on admission and on the 7th day of hospitalization and prognosis was further explored. Results:The PLT count of improvement group at admission,on the 2nd,3rd,and 7th days of hospitalization and at discharge[(328±159, 329±137, 362±159, 439±168, 510±171)×10 9/L] were significantly higher than those of unrecovered group [(210±142, 207±152, 267±143, 260±162, 343±159)×10 9/L]( P<0.05).Although the MPV of improvement group [(10.9±1.9)fL] on admission was significantly lower than that of the unrecovered group[(12.7±2.5) fL]( P<0.05),there was no significant difference in MPV between two groups on the 2nd,3rd,7th days of hospitalization and discharge( P>0.05).In addition,compared with the admission,children in improvement group had significantly higher PLT count on the 7th day of hospitalization and before discharge( P<0.05),but there was no significant change in unrecovered group( P>0.05).Compared with SCAP patients with thrombocytopenia at admission (PLT<100×10 9/L)( n=22),those with thrombocytopenia on 7th day of hospitalization had a significant higher rate of non recovery( P<0.05). Conclusion:The occurrence of thrombocytopenia on admission and after 7 days of hospitalization in children with SCAP is associated with poor prognosis.No significant increase or decrease in PLT count after 7 days of hospitalization is often indicative of poor prognosis.Dynamic monitoring of PLT parameter changes may help to better judge the prognosis of severe pneumonia.

Objective:
To explore perceived social support levels of vocational school students and associated factors, so as to provide a basis for the fine tuned construction of social support networks for vocational school students.
Methods:
Adopting a combination of multi stage cluster sampling and convenience sampling method, a sample of 11 767 vocational school students in Shanghai City and Jiangsu Province were selected to conduct two surveys (November 2021 and November 2022) by using a self administered electronic questionnaire regarding personal, family, school information and the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale (CASSS). Correlates were analyzed by generalized linear estimating equations (GEE).
Results:
The total perceived social support scores in percentage at baseline and follow up survey were (66.13±20.46) and (67.65±21.18). The results of GEE showed that in terms of personal characteristics, girls had higher emotional support and evaluative support scores than boys ( B=0.60, 0.68, P < 0.05 ); extraversion, non-smoking, non-drinking, exercising ≥1 time per week, and better quality of sleep were positively correlated with the total score and the different types scores of precieved social support, and time spent on the Internet >2 h/d was negatively correlated with the total score and the different types scores of precieved social support ( B=1.03-4.49, -4.04--0.58, P < 0.05 ). In terms of family characteristics, parents not in marriage and living with (external) grandparents were negatively correlated with the total score and different types scores of percieved social support, while family characteristics such as satisfaction with family income (average, satisfactory, very satisfactory) and parents education level of junior high school and above were positively correlated with the total score and the different types scores of precieved social support ( B=-1.34--0.37, 0.57-2.37, P <0.05). In terms of school characteristics, without experience of bullying in school and the number of same sex or opposite sex friends >1 were positively correlated with the total score and different types scores of perceptual social support, and without serving as an officer of a student organization was negatively correlated with the total score and the different types scores of precieved social support ( B= 1.21- 5.04, -2.00--0.76, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The levels of overall and different types of precieved social support among vocational school students need to be improved. According to individual, family, and school related factors of precieved social support can help to target the improvement of students precieved social support level.
4.Study of an assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China and indicator weights
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(9):1304-1308
Objective:
To develop an assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China, as well as to determine the relevant indices and their weights, so as to provide the reference for road safety prevention and control for middle school students in western China.
Methods:
A Delphi study was employed to construct the assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China. In August 2023, eighteen experts in related fields such as traffic safety, education, and healthcare were invited to achieve Delphi consensus. The final indices were initially selected based on the consulting results,followed by the determination of their individual and combined weights using the analytic hierarchy process.
Results:
The finalized assessment tool comprised 3 primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 100 tertiary indicators. The positivity coefficient of experts was 100%, accompanied by the authority coefficient 0.90. The mean importance scores for the three primary indicators varied from 4.67 to 4.78, while those for the 13 secondary indicators ranged from 4.22 to 4.89. The Kendall coefficient W was statistically significant at 0.32 ( χ 2=96.83, P <0.05). The weights assigned to the three primary indicators were:ability (0.329 4), opportunity (0.337 3), and motivation (0.333 3). The secondary indicators with the top three highest combined weights were social influence (0.027 4), knowledge (0.027 3), and skills (0.026 7).
Conclusions
The assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China demonstrates high expert consensus, with balanced weighting of primary and secondary indicators. Expanded use of the assessment tool would provide the data support for intervention work.

Objective:
To establish the Professional Standards for Sexuality Education Teachers in Kindergarten in China, so as to provide a basis for strengthening the construction of the sexuality education teacher team in kindergartens and promoting the smooth implementation of sexuality education in kindergartens.
Methods:
According to the Professional Standards for Kindergarten Teachers (Trial), combined with the existing research and practice results in the field of sexuality education at home and abroad and the development status of kindergarten sexuality education in China, the indicators and specific contents of Professional Standards for Sexuality Education Teachers in Kindergarten in China were selected. In September 2021, two rounds of Delphi expert consultation method were adopted to collect suggestions on professional standards from 34 experts in the field of sexuality education in China, and modifications were made according to the importance scores assessed by experts and specific suggestions until expert opinions converged. Then, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to assign weights to each indicator at each level, based on the relative importance between each two indicators at the same level as assessed by experts.
Results:
The Professional Standards for Sexuality Education Teachers in Kindergarten in China were initially established, including 3 primary indexes (professional concept, professional ability and professional knowledge), 7 secondary indexes and 27 tertiary indexes. The recovery rate of the two rounds of consultation documents was 100%, indicating that the experts were highly motivated. The authority coefficient of 2 rounds of expert consultation were both greater than 0.70, proving that the consultation results were reliable. The index weights of the three dimensions of professional concept, professional knowledge and professional ability were 0.44, 0.32 and 0.25, respectively.
Conclusion
The content of the Professional Standards for Sexuality Education Teachers in Kindergarten in China is complete, and the minimum qualified standard for kindergarten teachers engaged in sexuality education is determined.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(1):46-50
Objective:
To understand the current situation of school based sexuality education, attitudes and evaluations of teachers and students toward sexuality education, so as to provide evidence for promoting the development of school based sexuality education.
Methods:
From September to October 2021, 2 140 valid data from students in basic education and 2 146 from kindergarten and primary and secondary school teachers were collected by online questionnaire. The data were described and statistically analyzed, and the influencing factors of teachers willingness to teach sexuality education courses were explored by logistic regression analysis.
Results:
About 52.06% of the students had not received sexuality education in school, and 47.53% of the teachers did not carry out sexuality education in the school. Sexuality education in schools mainly focuses on reproductive health and physical development. About 48.93% of the teachers thought that the implementation of sexuality education in schools was not good, and the proportion of high school students who thought sexuality education in schools were "very bad" (32.87%) or "not very good" ( 21.23 %) was the highest. The teachers who undertook sexuality education were mainly mental health teachers (55.51% reported by teachers, 43.96% reported by students). About 71.02% of teachers believe that the best way to carry out sexuality education classes was to set up sexuality education curriculum. Students and teachers reported the need for sexuality education, and more than 50% of primary school students and high school students thought that sexuality education were "very needed" and "somewhat needed". About 51.77 % of teachers considered sexuality education "very urgent". All increased recognition of sexuality education, confidence in answering sex questions, external support for sexuality education, and acceptance of sexuality education training increased the likelihood of teachers teaching sexuality education ( OR =1.02, 1.95, 1.03, 3.53, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The current situation of school based sexuality education is not optimistic, the gap between sexuality education and students needs is wide, and the abilities of sexuality education teachers are insufficient.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral double-balloon enteroscopy for small intestinal bezoars with obstruction, the clinical, endoscopic, imaging, pathological and surgical data of patients with small intestinal bezoars and obstruction treated in Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from December 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 5 patients, all female, aged 52-83 years, were included. The clinical manifestation was mainly digestive tract obstruction. The diameter of bezoars was 30-50 mm. Three were located in the jejunum, one in the proximal ileum, and one at the jejuno-ileal junction. Three cases were diagnosed as having small intestinal bezoars by imaging examination before operation. All 5 patients achieved technical success. Four patients achieved clinical success, the symptoms of obstruction were completely relieved, and 1 patient was partially relieved due to malignant obstruction. No obvious complication occurred in 5 patients after operation. The follow-up time was 15-790 days, and there was no recurrence. The results showed that oral double-balloon enteroscopy for small intestinal bezoars was safe and effective, providing a new treatment for patients with small intestinal bezoars except for surgery.

Objective:To explore the impact of social support, self-efficacy, and neurological function on disease acceptance in stroke patients.Methods:From September 2022 to February 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 322 stroke patients from Shanghai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine as participants. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ), Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) .Results:The AIS, PSSS, SSEQ, and NIHSS scores of stroke patients were (21.88±10.66), (52.64±13.80), (73.92±28.91), and (5.37±3.64), respectively. Social support of patients had a positive impact on disease acceptance ( P<0.01). Self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between social support and disease acceptance, with indirect effects accounting for 48.84% of the total effect. The second half of the mediating effect of "social support→self-efficacy→disease acceptance" (self-efficacy→disease acceptance) was regulated by neurological function ( β=-0.020, P<0.01) . Conclusions:Medical and nursing staff can increase patients' social support, enhance their self-efficacy, and strengthen targeted interventions for patients with high levels of neurological deficits, thereby improving their disease acceptance.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), as a metabolic disease, has shown a constant upward trend in prevalence among the people in recent years. In addition to changing lifestyles and conventional drug treatment, bariatric surgery, represented by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and sleeve gastrectomy, has gradually become one of the treatment options for NAFLD. However, the mechanism of bariatric surgery in treating NAFLD remains to be studied. The "multiple-hit theory", which has gradually been recognized in recent years, believes that NAFLD is formed by the combined effect of multiple mechanisms such as insulin resistance, bile acid metabolism pathway, and intestinal flora. Based on relevant literatures and clinical practices, the authors explore the relevant mechanisms of bariatric surgery for direct or indirect treatment of NAFLD.
