Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(9):1298-1300
Objective:
Based on observational, longitudinal and intervention study of common diseases among students in Jiangsu Province, this paper presents the current progress of two year follow up of myopia cohort regarding the association between growth parameters with progression of myopia among children and adolescents in areas with rapid economic growth.
Methods:
This survey adopted the stratified cluster sampling method for school selection. The full automatic computer optometry (TOPCON RM800) was used to track myopia related parameters for all participants from 2019 to 2020 under the condition of mydriasis (compound topicamide eye drops). Relationship between growth parameters of children and adolescents and the incidence and progression of myopia was analyzed by using Cox regression multiple statistical model.
Results:
The myopia rates of students from grade 1 to grade 3 in 2019 were 5.4%, 21.5% and 37.3% respectively. After one year, the myopia rates of all school stages increased to 25.3%, 43.3% and 58.1% respectively( χ 2=53.59, 49.63, 32.52, P <0.01). The mean diopter of right eye and left eye after mydriasis were ( 0.30± 1.24/0.39±1.26)D in 2019 and (-0.33±1.54/-0.19±1.55)D in 2020, respectively based on Cox multiple regression results, age ( HR =1.21, 95% CI =1.09-1.34), naked eye vision ( HR =0.08, 95% CI =0.07-0.11), height ( HR =0.98, 95% CI =0.97-0.99) showed a strong correlation with the incidence and progression of myopia( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Myopia is growing rapidly in the central region of Jiangsu Province. It is suggested that diopter, axial length, naked eye vision, age, height and other indicators should be included in the refractive archives of children and adolescents in the region.

Objective:To explore the change in cerebral blood flow when healthy subjects swallow hot and ice water, and to verify the sensitivity of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in identifying liquid temperatures while swallowing as a basis for applying it in diagnosis and intervention.Methods:Sixteen healthy subjects swallowed hot and ice water in randomized order while the process was recorded using fNIRS. The activation at rest and when swallowing hot and ice water was compared pairwise.Results:Compared with the resting state, 19 channels were activated during the swallowing of the hot and ice water. The common activated areas were S1, M1, PMC, SMA, Wernicke′s area, the somatosensory association cortex, the visual association cortex and the frontal eye field. However, the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex was activated only when swallowing hot water, and the subcentral area was activated only when swallowing ice water. The SMA and PMC were significantly more activated when swallowing hot water than ice water.Conclusions:Multiple brain regions are activated and participate in regulating swallowing. The PMC and SMA areas can distinguish hot water from ice water swallowing.

ObjectiveTo explore the antioxidant and anti-human cervical cancer HeLa cell effect and mechanisms of Andrographis paniculata polysaccharide (APP). MethodCell function assays were conducted to assess the effects of APP (400, 450, 500 mg·L-1) on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HeLa cells using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, scratch assay, and Transwell assay. Molecular mechanism experiments were conducted to detect the effects of APP on HeLa cell apoptosis and cell cycle-related mRNA and protein expression using flow cytometry, real-time fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and Western blot analysis. The antioxidant activity of APP was tested using DPPH+, OH-, and reducing power assays. ResultCompared with the blank group, APP (400, 450, 500 mg·L-1) significantly inhibited the migration, proliferation, and invasion abilities of HeLa cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner (P<0.05, P<0.01). Flow cytometry with propidium iodide (PI) single staining was used to detect cell cycle. The results showed that compared with the blank group, the proportion of HeLa cells in the G2/M phase increased after 48 hours of treatment with APP (400, 450, 500 mg·L-1), indicating that APP can arrest HeLa cells in the G2/M phase. Flow cytometry with fluorescein isothiocyanate (Annexin V-FITC)/PI apoptosis kit was used to detect cell apoptosis. Compared with the blank group, the proportion of early and late apoptotic HeLa cells increased in a dose-dependent manner after 48 hours of APP (400, 450, 500 mg·L-1) treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01), indicating that APP promotes HeLa cell apoptosis. The results of Real-time PCR and Western blot assay showed that compared with the blank group, after 48 hours of APP (400, 450, 500 mg·L-1) treatment resulted in decreased mRNA and protein expression of cell cycle-dependent kinase-1 (CDK-1), Cyclin B1, and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and increased mRNA and protein expression of cysteine aspartate protease (Caspase)-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9, and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) (P<0.05, P<0.01). These findings were consistent with the flow cytometry results and showed a dose-dependent effect. In vitro antioxidant tests demonstrated that different concentrations of APP (50-1 000 mg·L-1) were able to scavenge DPPH+ and OH- radicals, indicating certain antioxidant activity. ConclusionAPP possesses antioxidant activity and can inhibit the viability of HeLa cells while promoting their apoptosis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of medication use and safety among the patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in a 3A-grade hospital of Guangzhou city, and to provide scientific basis for AIDS prevention and treatment. MethodsA questionnaire survey was conducted among AIDS patients aged 18 years and above in our hospital to investigate their KAP regarding medication use and safety. ResultsA total of 549 questionnaires were collected, of which 503 were valid, with an effective recovery rate of 91.6%. The average scores of KAP were (14.58 ± 8.49) , (25.21 ± 6.92) and (47.58 ± 3.33) , respectively, with the scoring rates of 36.46%, 63.02%, and 95.16%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences (P<0.05) in knowledge scores among people with different ages, education levels and occupations. Multiple linear regression showed that education level and medical insurance status had most significant impact on knowledge scores (P<0.05). Significant differences were found in attitude scores among people with different education levels (P<0.05), as well as in practice scores among people with different occupations (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression revealed that age, occupation, knowledge score and attitude score had a significant impact on practice scores (P<0.05). Patients expected to receive pharmaceutical care services from the pharmacists via face-to-face communication, network platform and telephone consultation on medication knowledge such as adverse drug reactions and response measures, drug-drug interactions, missed medication and response measures, medication adherence measures, etc. ConclusionsAIDS patients in this hospital have a good awareness of medication safety, but their knowledge of medication use needs improvement. Some bad habits may affect their compliance, resulting in safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for pharmaceutical care services related to rational drug use.
