Abstract
Vertebral column defects can have adverse effects on the physical and mental health of children and adolescents. Early screening and diagnosis is conducive to the correction of the disease, which can effectively slow down or stop the process of abnormal spinal curvature in children and adolescents. However, in terms of cost-effectiveness, there are different opinions around the world on the inclusion of school screening for abnormal spinal curvature into routine health services. This article reviews the concept and classification of vertebral column defects in children and adolescents, the epidemic situation, screening methods and significance by consulting the relevant literature at home and abroad, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of the disease.

Objective To describe the epidemiological characteristics on the supplement of folic acid in progestation and early pregnancy,and to probe the protective effects of supplement of folic acid in early pregnancy against pregnant depression,in Ma’anshan city,Anhui province. Methods In this cohort study,5 150 subjects who had their first antenatal examination at Ma’anshan Maternal and Child Care Centers were recruited under informed consent,from October 2008 to October 2010. All the information were collected through questionnaires in the first,second and third trimesters respectively. A“Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D)”was used to assess the mood of depression in the second questionnaire. Single factor analysis and the unconditional multivariate logistic regression were applied to analyze the association of supplement folic acid in peri-conceptional period and pregnancy depression. Results In the study,the prevalence of those who had never taken the supplement folic acid but only the supplement folic acid in progestation and supplement in the first-trimester,or supplement in the peri-conceptional period were 27.3%,0.5%,27.4%and 17.9%,respectively. The incidence of pregnancy depression was 4.8%(247/5 150). Data from logistic regression analysis showed that,supplement of folic acid only in the first-trimester or in the peri-conceptional period were negatively associated with pregnancy depression even after adjustment for potential confounders. The adjusted odds ratio were 0.63(95%CI:0.44-0.90) and 0.61(95%CI:0.39-0.95)respectively. Conclusion Supplement of folic acid in peri-conceptional period could be a preventive factor for pregnancy depression.

Abstract
In recent years, much attention has been paid to recess activity in school and its impacts on child and adolescent health. Students spent most of their time in schools, thus recess offers children the opportunity to be physically active, which is beneficial for their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well being. The review mainly discusses the impact of recess activity on child physical and mental health, including obesity, myopia, cognition and social contact, so as to provide a theoretical basis for creating school recess activities conducive to the health of children and adolescents.

Objective:
To determine the possible relations between hair cortisol concentration (HCC) as a biomarker of chronic stress and childhood overweight and obesity.
Methods:
Children from grade 1 to 3 from 2 primary schools in Bengbu were invited to participate in the study; and those who suffer from mental disorders, endocrine diseases and those who took hormone drugs were excluded. Parental questionnaire was implemented to collect information on physical activity, screen time, sleep duration, sugar-beverage consumption, as well as socio-economic status. Height and weight were examined. Eligible hair samples from 1 263 children (598 boys and 665 girls) were obtained, and the cortisol content was determined. Multivariate logistic regression model analysis was recruited to examine the association between HCC quartiles and overweight and obesity among boys and girls, respectively.
Results:

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(11):1625-1628
Objective:
To describe digital media use in college students during the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) outbreak.
Methods:
A structured self-administered electronic questionnaire was designed and admin istered during February 4 to 12, 2020, collecting information on the use time of digital media and anxiety symptoms of college students in China during the COVID-19 outbreak. Data was analyzed by Chi-square test, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression models.
Results:
A total of 11 787 university students were recruited. The detection rate of anxiety symptoms was 17.8%. The percentages of screen time ≤2, >2-4 and >4 h/d were 21.3%, 31.4% and 47.3%. The proportions of mobile phone use time ≤2, >2-4 and >4 h/d were 14.6%, 33.2% and 52.3%. The proportion of browsing information regarding COVID-19 ≤1, 1-2 and >2 h/d were 66.6%, 19.4% and 13.9%. The results of Logistic regression analysis revealed that the detection rate of anxiety symptoms was lower among the students having 2-4 h/d of screen time(OR=0.70, 95%CI=0.61-0.81), but higher among the students having more than 4 h/d of screen time(OR=1.13, 95%CI=1.00-1.28) compared with those having ≤2 h/d of video usage time. Compared with the mobile phone usage ≤2 h/d group, the detection rate was lower among >2-4 h/d group(OR=0.78, 95%CI=0.66-0.91). However, anxiety symptoms were more likely to occur in the group of > 4 h/d(OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.04-1.39). The detection of anxiety symptoms was higher in the group with more browsing time. The OR for anxiety symptoms detection rate was 1.55(1.38-1.75) among the students with >1-2 h/d of browsing information regarding COVID-19 and 2.15(1.89-2.44) among the students with >2 h/d of browsing information regarding COVID-19 compared with those with ≤1 h/d of browsing information regarding COVID-19.
Conclusion
During the epidemic period, the use of >2-4 h/d digital media helps to reduce the occurrence of anxiety symptoms. But the use of computers and mobile phones for more than 4 h/d is associated with higher level of anxiety symptoms among college students. Less screen time spent on fact-checking on COVID-19 might help reduce anxiety sympotoms among college students.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(9):1414-1417
Objective:
To understand the differences in the application of three distant vision examination methods in children, so as to provide a reference for developing a unified distant vision examination for this population.
Methods:
The study involved 98 children aged 4 to 16 years who visited the ophthalmology department of a children s hospital in Anhui Province between August 15 and 25, 2022. Vision was measured using the distant vision test method specified in the 2014 National Student Physical Fitness and Health Survey (V1), the 2019 National Student Physical Fitness and Health Survey (V2), and Specification for Screening of Refractive Error in Primary and Secondary School Students (WS/T 663-2020) (V3). The paired samples McNemar s test and Wilcoxon test were performed to compare the detection rate of poor vision and the difference between the visual acuity test results of the three methods.
Results:
The results of the 98 children examined according to V1, V2, and V3 showed that the M (P25, P 75 ) of the right eye were 4.8(4.6,5.0),4.8(4.7,5.0),and 4.8(4.7,5.0)while the left eye visual acuity M ( P 25 , P 75 ) were 4.8 (4.6,5.0),4.9( 4.7 ,5.0),and 4.9(4.7,5.0),respectively. The rates of poor visual acuity detection for the right eye were 63.3%, 58.2% and 58.2 % for V1, V2, and V3, respectively, while for the left eye, they were 58.2%, 54.1% and 53.1%, respectively. McNemar test results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of poor visual acuity detection between the right and left eyes for V1 vs. V2, V1 vs. V3, and V2 vs. V3 (left eyes: χ 2=2.25,2.29,0.00,right eyes: χ 2=3.20,3.20,0.00, P >0.05).Wilcoxon test results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the right and left eye visual acuity groups for V1 vs. V2 and V1 vs. V3 (left eyes: Z =-4.15,-4.60, right eyes: Z = -4.70,-4.99, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Irrespective of whether the starting visual standard starts at row 4.0 or 5.0, different standards of visual standard passage have an impact on the visual acuity results. It is recommended that existing methods of screening for distance vision are standardized.
