Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(1):142-145
Abstract
According to the Healthy China Action Plan, Wuhan gives full play to the role of preventing and controlling student myopia by promoting student health. The primary focus is placed on education in schools, and Wuhan has integrated educational resources to develop a multi-level myopia prevention and control system and service network for school students. The network contains educational adminstrative, schools, families, and professional technical service organizations. By integrating multiple disciplines, Wuhan has built a comprehensive vision health management service system for all students. The Internet and cloud intelligent monitoring facilitated the establishment of a smart vision health management platform for students, which thoroughly and efficiently implemented myopia prevention and control to safeguard students visual health by engaging in education, monitoring, and supervision. The prevention and control of student myopia is a breakthrough for comprehensive healthy development of students. A comparison of the standard myopia rate in Wuhan in 2019 and 2018 revealed that the standard myopia rate at different learning stages of primary school, junior high school, and high school dropped by 3.31, 2.50, and 2.26 percentage points, respectively, and the rate of myopia in primary school was significantly lower than the national level. Post-epidemic surveys showed that the compliance rate and the awareness rate of the visual environment and visual behaviors of primary and secondary school students in Wuhan reached more than 80%, and prevalence of newly onset myopia or decreased vision was 30%, which was lower than the national average. The "Wuhan Model" provides an important referential framework for public health services for school students.

BACKGROUND:Based on different algorithms of machine learning,how to carry out clinical research on lumbar disc herniation with the help of various algorithmic models has become a trend and hot spot in the development of intelligent medicine at present. OBJECTIVE:To review the characteristics of different algorithmic models of machine learning in the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation,and summarize the respective advantages and application strategies of algorithmic models for the same purpose. METHODS:The computer searched PubMed,Web of Science,EMBASE,CNKI,WanFang,VIP and China Biomedical(CBM)databases to extract the relevant articles on machine learning in the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Finally,96 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Different algorithm models of machine learning provide intelligent and accurate application strategies for clinical diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation.(2)Traditional statistical methods and decision trees in supervised learning are simple and efficient in exploring risk factors and establishing diagnostic and prognostic models.Support vector machine is suitable for small data sets with high-dimensional features.As a nonlinear classifier,it can be applied to the recognition,segmentation and classification of normal or degenerative intervertebral discs,and to establish diagnostic and prognostic models.Ensemble learning can make up for the shortcomings of a single model.It has the ability to deal with high-dimensional data and improve the precision and accuracy of clinical prediction models.Artificial neural network improves the learning ability of the model,and can be applied to intervertebral disc recognition,classification and making clinical prediction models.On the basis of the above uses,deep learning can also optimize images and assist surgical operations.It is the most widely used model with the best performance in the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation.The clustering algorithm in unsupervised learning is mainly used for disc segmentation and classification of different herniated segments.However,the clinical application of semi-supervised learning is relatively less.(3)At present,machine learning has certain clinical advantages in the identification and segmentation of lumbar intervertebral discs,classification and grading of the degenerative intervertebral discs,automatic clinical diagnosis and classification,construction of the clinical predictive model and auxiliary operation.(4)In recent years,the research strategy of machine learning has changed to the neural network and deep learning,and the deep learning algorithm with stronger learning ability will be the key to realizing intelligent medical treatment in the future.
