1.Assiciation of myopia progression and sleep characteristics among lower grade primary school students in Shanghai
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(5):727-731
Objective:
To study the impact of sleep characteristics on myopia, among lower primary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide foundation for the prevention of the onset and development of myopia.
Methods:
A total of 636 students from the first and second grades of two primary schools in Jiading District, Shanghai, were selected through cluster random sampling for questionnaire surveys and ophthalmological examinations in October 2022. The Childrens Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep quality at baseline. Ophthalmological examinations were conducted in October 2023(479), during which the students study time, screen time and outdoor activity time were monitored for twoweek, repeated twice. Generalized multivariable Logistic regression models and linear regression models were employed to examine the association between sleeprelated factors and myopia, as well as the strength of this association.
Results:
The baseline survey indicated a myopia prevalence of 18.58%, with 17.18% at followup. The average CSHQ total score was (51.58±4.44), and the average daily sleep duration was (9.43±4.84)h/d, with only 11.6% of participants meeting the recommended sleep sufficiency. Multivariable regression models indicated that insufficient sleep showed positive association with myopia (OR=1.64, 95%CI=1.05-2.56), while bedtime duration was significantly negative associated with myopia (OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.63-0.91, P<0.05), adjusting for confounding factors. Inconsistency in bed rest time was a risk factor for myopia (OR=1.07, P<0.05), and the consistency of bed rest time, and wakeup time showed statistically significant correlations with SE (P<0.05). There was also statistically significant correlations between consistency in sleep time, bed rest time, and wakeup time with AL (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Insufficient sleep and bedtime duration are correlated with the onset and progression of myopia. It is critical to ensure sufficient sleep duration and regular sleep habits for children to reduce the occurrence of myopia in the primary school students.

Objective To investigate the effect of tumor-infiltrating B cells on the therapeutic efficacy of programmed death ligand-1[PD-(L)1]inhibitors and elucidate the potential mechanisms.Methods Based on immunotherapy cohorts for melanoma patients in public databases,the relationship of B cells with progression-free survival (PFS) and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors treatment was analyzed.TC-1 and B16-OVA cells were implanted subcutaneously and in the liver in 6-8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice to establish tumor xenograft models.The effect of B cell clearance on PD-(L)1 therapy was compared.Flow cytometry was performed on the 15th day of TC-1 tumor microenvironment (TME)to confirm the number,function and phenotypic changes of T cells.Flow cytometry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)were used to detect B cell surface molecules and cytokines.Results Based on ERP105482 data from the ICBatlas public database,high CD19 expression in the tumors was associated with longer PFS in melanoma patients (753 vs 95 d,HR=0.3,95%CI:0.13~0.65,P=0.003).B cells were significantly enriched in immunotherapy-responsive patients (P=0.01).In a mouse TC-1 liver-loaded tumor model,PD-(L)1 antibody treatment reduced tumor mass (P<0.01),whereas B-cell clearance attenuated the therapeutic efficacy.B cells enhanced PD-(L)1 antibody treatment by promoting T cell infiltration and function,and the treatment resulted in changes in B cell subsets,as evidenced by an increase in PD-1 low-expressing subsets (P<0.01).Conclusion After PD-(L)1 treatment,a decrease in PD-1 expression on B cell subsets might be one of the potential mechanisms by which B cells enhance the efficacy of PD-(L)1 therapy.
