Objective To evaluate different operative modalities for sphincter-preserving procedures in patients of lower rectal cancer. Methods A total of 137 patients with lower rectal cancer underwent sphincter-perserving surgery between January 2003 and January 2008. In the operation, the proximal colon with satisfactory blood supply was pulled down to reestablish intestinal continuity without any tension. Results Among the 137 patients, 102 patients underwent low anterior resection by double stapling technique, 16 patients were dealed with the Parks operation, 19 patients were dealed with the modified Bacon operation. In the double-stapling technique group, the distance between the anal verge and inferior margin of the tumor was 6-8 cm in 91 patients and 5-6 cm in 11 patients whose tumors were located at posterior rectal wall. In the other two groups, the distance between the anal verge and inferior margin of the tumor was 5-6 cm. In the Parks operation, the sigmoid colon was anastomosed with the anus in all of 19 patients. In the modified Bacon operation group, the descending colon was pulled through anus in all of 16 patients. Conclusions The low anterior resection with double stapling technique can be applied to a patient if the distance from the inferior margin of the tumor to the anal verge is 6 cm to 8 cm. The Parks operation or the modified Bacon operation can be applied to a patient if the the distance from the inferior margin of the tumor to the anal verge is 5 to 6 cm, The Parks operation can be performed with the sigmoid colon being anastomosed with the anus if the length of the sigmoid colon is long enough to reach the anus, the modified Bacon operation can be performed with the descending colon being pulled through the anus by mobilization of splenic flexure or left colon if the length of the sigmoid is not long enough to reach the anus.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(1):112-116
Objective:
To explore the relationship between myopia and nutritional status among upper elementary students in Shanghai.
Methods:
A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 5 576 fourth and fifth grade students from 16 districts in Shanghai, vision test, physical examination and questionnaire survey were administered. Two level multivariate Logistic regression and mixed linear models were used to analyze the relationship between myopia, spherical equivalent (SE) and nutritional status.
Results:
The detection rates of overweight and obesity were 17.0%(949) and 18.7%(1 042), respectively. There was a statistical difference in the proportion of the nutritional status in boys and girls( χ 2=210.94, P <0.01), with overweight and obesity in boys higher than those of girls. The overweight boys were more likely to have myopia (univariate analysis: OR=1.23, P =0.04; multivariate analysis: OR=1.21, P =0.06) than the normal weight boy. Overweight students tended to had more negative refractive than those with normal weight in both boys and girls(multivariate analysis, boys: β =-0.19, girls: β=-0.24, P <0.05). Myopia risk and refractive power in obese students showed no statistical difference with normal weight students( P >0.05).
Conclusion
Overweight students have lower SE than the normal weight among upper elementary students of Shanghai, more researches are needed to confirm this finding and to provide theoretical bases for myopia prevention and control.
9.Effects of sunlike spectrum LED illumination on retinal blood perfusion in children and adolescents: a randomized controlled trial
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(3):338-340
Objective:
To analyze the effect of sunlike spectrum LED illumination on retinal blood flow perfusion, and to explore the the correlation between sunlike spectrum LED illumination and eye health indicators in children and adolescents.
Methods:
A randomized control double blind trial was conducted. The ordinary LED table lamp in the control group(11) and the sunlike spectrum LED table lamp in the experimental group(12) had a fitting degree of 87% and 95% with the daylighting spectrum, respectively. Two sample independent t test and multivariable linear regression model were applied to compare the changes of retinal blood perfusion before and after the trial.
Results:
After near reading for 1 hour, the retinal capillary density in the superficial and deep layers of the subjects in the ordinary LED illumination group decreased (superficial layer: -3.05±2.04 , P <0.01; deep layer: -4.03± 4.94, P =0.02), no significant decrease was found in the sunlike spectrum LED illumination group (superficial layer: -0.59± 1.44, P =0.18; deep layer: -0.49±4.27, P =0.70). Multivariable regression analysis found that compared with ordinary LED illumination, sunlike spectrum LED illumination could significantly alleviate the decrease in capillary density in the superficial and deep retinal layers, respectively ( β =2.83, 95% CI =1.54-4.12, P <0.01; β =4.21,95% CI =0.58-7.84, P =0.02).
Conclusion
Sunlike spectrum LED illumination can alleviate the decrease in retinal blood perfusion caused by near work among children and adolescents, suggesting that it may delay the onset and development of myopia. Prevention and control of myopia needs to pay attention to the spectral power distribution of artificial illumination.

Objective:
To understand the online learning related screen use duration and screen types in school aged children in Shanghai during the COVID-19 epidemic.
Methods:
Random clustering sampling was used to select 5 591 parents of students from 8 primary and junior schools that are in the sampling pool of the national myopia survey in districts of Jiading, Pudong and Baoshan in Shanghai in April 2020. Electronic questionnaire was administered to parents regarding their child s online learning related screen use.
Results:
On average, the median weekly duration of online learning related screen use was 13.33 hours, the curricular and extracurricular parts of which were 10(8.75,16.67) and 0(0,3.33) hours, respectively. About 29.44% of investigated school aged children only used small size screen for online learning. Children in higher grades, being myopic and parents neither being myopic were associated with reporting higher weekly duration( P <0.05); children in higher grades of primary school and parents neither being myopic were associated with a higher likelihood of using small size screen for online learning( P <0.05).
Conclusion
At the early stage of the COVID-19 epidemic, the burden associated with online learning related screen use was high in school aged children in Shanghai. Health education regarding online learning related screen use should be addressed in parents to guide their children to use screen appropriately.
