To synthesize salbutamol immunogen and develop an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA), a new salbutamol immunogen was synthesized using 4-aminobenzoic acid as a linker to connect hapten with carrier protein. An enzyme immunoassay based on the antibody prepared was developed and applied to detect salbutamol residue spiked in swine liver. An unusual coating antigen, clenbuterol-ovalbumin (OVA) conjugate instead of salbutamol-OVA conjugate, was used in the immunoassay and the results were discussed based on the structures of related compounds. The antibodies showed high sensitivity in the heterologous assay when using clenbuterol-OVA as a coating antigen, with an IC50 value of 8.97 ng mL(-1) toward salbutamol. The antibodies prepared showed high cross-reactivity with clenbuterol (107%) and were promising for the simultaneous determination of salbutamol and clenbuterol residues in food and food products. Recovery rates from the salbutamol-spiked swine liver samples were in the range of 70%-99%, while the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were <13.3% and <14.3%, respectively. In summary, the antibodies of salbutamol have been successfully prepared. Sensitive and stable analysis for the detection of salbutamol residues in swine liver was obtained based on the competitive ELISA methods developed in this study.

Objective:To clarify the anti-inflammatory effects and anti-endoplasmic reticulum stress effects of resolvin D2 (RvD2) in viral myocarditis mice and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods:Fifty male BALB/c mice were collected and assigned corresponding numbers. Then 40 male BALB/c mice were selected randomly with 10 mice in each group. They were set as normal control group, RvD2 control group, viral myocarditis group and RvD2 treatment group. Afterwards, mice in the RvD2 control group received continuous intraperitoneal injection of RvD2 for 7 days, while mice in the viral myocarditis group received intraperitoneal injection of Coxsackievirus B3 virus (CVB3) in the purpose of constructing an animal model of viral myocarditis. Then, mice in the RvD2 treatment group were given continuous intraperitoneal injection of RvD2 for 7 days. After these 7 days, the mice of each group were sacrificed and their cardiac tissue and serum samples were taken. The expression levels of serum inflammatory factors including IL-1β and TNF-α were detected by ELISA in each group of mice, and HE staining were used to detect the inflammatory cell infiltration in myocardial tissue of each group. Meanwhile, the expression levels of inflammation-related proteins IL-1β, TNF-α as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins like GRP78 and Chop in the myocardial tissue in each group of mice were detected by Western blot experiment. The remaining 10 BALB/c mice were treated with intraperitoneal injection of RvD2 as well as GPR18 protein inhibitors after constructing the animal model of viral myocarditis mentioned above. In the end, the expression levels of GPR18 protein, inflammation-related proteins including IL-1β and TNF-α as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins like GRP78 and Chop in the myocardial tissue of each group were detected by Western blot experiments.Results:Compared with the normal control group, the expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α in the serum of mice with viral myocarditis were significantly increased, and the degree of infiltration of inflammatory cells in myocardial tissue was also significantly increased. Besides, the expression levels of the inflammation-related proteins IL-1β, TNF-α as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins including GRP78 and Chop increased largely. While compared with the viral myocarditis group, the expression levels of serum inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α in the mice of the RvD2 treatment group were significantly reduced and the degree of infiltration of inflammatory cells in the cardiac tissue was significantly reduced. Also, the expression levels of inflammation-related proteins IL-1β and TNF-α as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins GRP78 and Chop were significantly reduced. After intraperitoneal injection of RvD2 and GPR18 inhibitor, in the mice treated with viral myocarditis, the expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins like GRP78 and Chop in myocardial tissue of these mice significantly increased when it came to compare with the RvD2 treatment group, while the expression levels of GPR18 protein were significantly reduced.Conclusions:RvD2 can inhibit the inflammatory response and endoplasmic reticulum stress injury in mice with viral myocarditis by binding to the membrane protein receptor GPR18, thus exerting a protective effect on heart.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between lifestyle and myopia and construct Nomogram model to predict myopia risk among primary school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a scientific basis for precision myopia prevention and control.
Methods:
From April to July of 2022, a census method was used to conduct vision testing and lifestyle related questionnaires among 373 180 primary school students in 15 districts of Tianjin. The relationship between lifestyle and myopia was analyzed by the multivariate Logistic regression, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed to predict myopia risk.
Results:
The detection rate of myopia among primary school students in Tianjin was 37.6%. The results of the multivariate Logistic regression showed that daily outdoor activity time of 1-2 h ( OR =0.94) and >2 h ( OR =0.84), time of using daily electronic devices of >2 h ( OR =1.03), daily paper materials reading and writing time of 1-2 h ( OR =1.02) and >2 h ( OR =1.09), weekly fresh vegetable intake of 2-6 times ( OR =0.93) and ≥7 times ( OR =0.88) were statistically correlated with myopia ( P <0.01). The Nomogram prediction model showed that the factors associated with myopia were grade, family history of myopia, gender, daily outdoor activity time, weekly frequency of fresh vegetable intake, daily paper materials reading and writing time, and time of using daily electronic devices time.
Conclusions
The lifestyle of primary school students in Tianjin is associated with myopia. The constructed nomogram model could provide a scientific basis for identifying key intervention populations for myopia prevention and taking targeted prevention and control measures.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of repeated low-level red light (RLRL) therapy on controlling the progression of myopia in children.Methods:Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrial.gov and the CNKI, VIP, Wanfang database, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chictr.org.cn) were searched from their establishment to September 2022 to obtain the randomized controlled trial (RCT) about RLRL controlling myopia progression in children.Grey literature was also searched.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed according to the PICOS principle.Two researchers screened the literature independently, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies using the Cochrane collaboration tool for assessing risk of bias.The data were imported into RevMan 5.4 software for meta-analysis.Mean and standard deviation of data were used to obtain mean differences and 95% confidence intervals of included studies.Changes in spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length (AL) were compared between before and after the intervention in RLRL and single-vision spectacle (experimental group) and single-vision spectacle (control group). The GRADE system was used to grade the quality of evidence for the outcome indicators.Results:A total of 157 studies were obtained.After the screening, 7 RCT studies including 1 038 study subjects met the inclusion criteria.Meta-analysis results showed that retarded SE progression was retarded and AL elongation was reduced significantly after different follow-up durations (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months) in experimental group compared with control group.As the follow-up duration extended from 1 month to 24 months, the retard of SE progression increased from 0.14 to 0.93 D, and the reduction of AL increased from 0.07 to 0.48 mm.Both 635 and 650 nm red light significantly retarded SE progression and reduced AL elongation.The two outcome indicators, SE change and AL change were moderate-strength evidence by GRADE.Conclusions:The current moderate-strength evidence shows that RLRL can better retard myopia progression in children than single-vision spectacle glasses.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(5):704-708
Objective:
To analyze Internet behaviors of children and adolescents and their influencing factors, and to provide scientific basis for health education guidance and prevention measures.
Methods:
A stratified cluster sampling method was used. From January to June 2019, 30 955 primary school students in 16 provinces (municipalities), from eastern, central, and western economic zones of China were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey, regarding general demographics, diet and exercise, tobacco, alcohol and sleep, Internet and electronics usage, etc.
Results:
Among them, 43.1% of students had never been online with girls (44.7%) higher than boys (41.8%)(χ2=21.04, P<0.01); 1.3% of students reported online time for more than 4 hours a day, boys were significantly higher than girls(χ2=15.87, P<0.01); Internet addiction was detected in 2.4% of elementary school students, with boys (3.0%) higher than girls(1.7%)(χ2=331.77, P<0.01), and the trend increases with grade. With sixth grade (3.3%) were significantly higher than children from the first grade (0.8%) and other grades(χ2=163.96, P<0.01). Children’s tendency to Internet addiction was 11.9%, of which boys were 13.0% and girls were 10.6%, boys were significantly higher than girls(χ2=117.66, P<0.01). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that, after controlling gender age, boarding school, family relationship, single parents and regrouped families, smoking, drinking sugary drinks, eating fried foods, and left-behind were positively related to Intenet addiction(r=0.06, 0.07, 0.27, 0.44, 0.07, 0.11, 0.09, P<0.01), while medium and high intensity sports, effective physical education, health education in school, AIDS education and parental restrictions on TV and computer games, were negatively associated with internet addiction(r=-0.74, -0.65, -0.04, -0.05, -0.63, P<0.01).
Conclusion
The internet addiction of Chinese primary school students is common and increases by year. High-intensity, high-density sports, effective physical education, and health education could help prevent Internet addiction among children.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic biliary drainage for biliary fistula.Methods:Data of consecutive 409 biliary fistula patients who were treated and diagnosed at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from November 2002 to November 2022 were reviewed, and 53 patients who received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) drainage were finally included. General information, procedural conditions, clinical outcomes and adverse events were analyzed. The patients were categorized into two groups: the endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) group ( n=46) and the endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) group ( n=7). Procedural characteristics, operation outcomes, and operation time were compared between the two groups. Results:There were 36 males and 17 females, with the age of 52.2±12.7 years, among whom 58.5% (31/53) were secondary to cholecystectomy. Clinical success was achieved in 83.0% (44/53) patients, with the operation time of 27.0 (13.5, 33.5) minutes and the treatment session of 1 (1, 2). The time to resolution was 89 (47, 161) days. The success rate of ERCP for low-grade biliary fistula was higher compared with that of high-grade biliary fistula [96.4% (27/28) VS 68.0% (17/25), χ2=7.57, P=0.006]. Bridging drainage achieved higher success rate compared with that of non-bridging drainage [91.7% (33/36) VS 64.7% (11/17), χ2=5.95, P=0.015], while different diameters of stents (≥10 Fr VS <10 Fr) achieved similar success rate [81.8% (27/33) VS 84.6% (11/13), χ2=0.05, P=0.822]. Adverse events occurred in 10 patients (18.9%), including 6 pancreatitis, 2 bleeding, 1 cholangitis and 1 death. Except for 1 death, 9 other adverse events were mild and managed with conservative treatment without interventions. There was no significant difference in clinical success rate [6/7 VS 82.6% (38/46), χ2=0.04, P=0.838] or the median operation time [28.0 min VS 23.0 min, Z=0.38, P=0.774] between ENBD group and ERBD group. Conclusion:Endoscopic biliary drainage is safe and effective for biliary fistula. ENBD and ERBD have comparable clinical efficacy. ERCP for low-grade biliary fistula may achieve a higher success rate, and bridging drainage may facilitate fistula resolution.

Objective To analyze the differences of von Mises stress distribution in knee cartilage and meniscus in female with generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) and healthy female during drop jump landing. Methods The kinematic and ground reaction force (GRF) characteristics of knee joint in female with GJH and healthy female at the moment of peak vertical GRF (VGRF) during loading phase of drop jump landing were collected. The knee joint reaction force was calculated via inverse dynamics, and the combined force of knee joint along long axis of the femur was applied as the load. Based on three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of a female knee joint, numerical simulations were performed separately during drop jump landing of subjects in two groups, and von Mises stresses and stress distribution of knee cartilage and meniscus were calculated. Results At the moment of peak VGRF during drop jump landing, knee flexion and valgus angles in GJH group and control group showed a statistical significance (P<0. 05). Compared with control group, knee flexion angle decreased and valgus angle increased in GJH group. During drop jump landing, GJH group bore larger stress inside the knee joint, and stress distribution in weight-bearing areas of the medial and lateral tibiofemoral compartments was uneven, while the lateral femoral cartilage lateral condyle, the anterior and middle lateral of lateral tibial cartilage, the anterior angle and body lateral margin of lateral meniscus were stress concentration sites. Conclusions For females with GJH, the stability of knee joint decreases and force lines change in jumping events, due to the increased range of motion of knee joint and relaxation of joint capsule, which increases the risk of cartilage and meniscal injury in lateral knee joint. During jumping sports, females with GJH should especially prevent knee joint injury caused by altered force lines in frontal plane of knee joint.
