1.Expert recommendations on vision friendly built environments for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):1-5
Abstract
The prevention and control of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents has become a major public health issue. While maintaining increased outdoor activity as a cornerstone intervention, there is an urgent need to explore new complementary approaches that can be effectively implemented in both indoor and outdoor settings. In recent years, environmental spatial frequency has gained increasing attention as one of the key environmental factors influencing the development and progression of myopia. Both animal studies and human research have confirmed that indoor environments lacking mid to high spatial frequency components, often characterized as "visually impoverished", can promote axial elongation and myopia through mechanisms such as disruption of retinal neural signaling, impaired accommodative function, and altered expression of related molecules. Based on the scientific consensus, it is recommended that "enriching of environmental spatial frequency" should be integrated into the myopia prevention and control framework. Following the principles of schoolled organization, family cooperation, community involvement, and student participation, specific measures are put forward in three areas:optimizing school visual settings, improving home spatial environments, and promoting healthy visual behavior. The aim is to create "visually friendly" indoor environments as an important supplement to outdoor activity, thereby providing a novel perspective and strategy for comprehensively advancing myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.

N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP) is an antipyretic analgesic commonly used in clinical practice, and APAP overdose can cause severe liver injury and even death. In recent years, the incidence rate of APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) tends to increase, and it has become the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process that removes unwanted cytosolic proteins and organelles through lysosomal degradation to achieve the metabolic needs of cells themselves and the renewal of organelles. A large number of studies have shown that autophagy plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AILI, involving the mechanisms such as APAP protein conjugates, oxidative stress, JNK activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory response and apoptosis. This article elaborates on the biological mechanism of autophagy in AILI, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AILI and the development of autophagy regulators.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Huoxue Rongluo prescription (HXRLP) in repairing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) after ischemic stroke (IS). MethodsMale C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham operation (Sham) group, cerebral infarction model (MCAO) group, environmental circadian disruption with cerebral infarction model (ECD-MCAO) group, low-, medium-, and high-dose HXRLP (HXRLP-L, M, and H) groups (8.5, 17, 34 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively), and positive drug butylphthalide (NBP) group (0.23 mL·d-1). In the Sham group, only the exposed blood vessels were isolated without suture insertion. In the other groups, the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of mice was prepared. In the ECD-MCAO group, HXRLP groups, and NBP group, the environmental circadian disruption (ECD) model was prepared. The mice in the Sham group, MCAO group, and ECD-MCAO group were given the same volume of soybean oil by gavage, while those in the other groups were given the corresponding drugs by gavage. Samples were collected after 7 consecutive days of administration. The mNSS score was used to evaluate the repair effect of HXRLP on neurological deficits after IS. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess the impact of HXRLP on the pathological damage of brain tissue after IS. 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and cerebral blood perfusion status were used to evaluate the repair effect of HXRLP on brain tissue damage after IS. Evans blue staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to evaluate the improvement effect of HXRLP on the permeability injury of BBB after IS. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining was used to observe the expression of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), brain and muscle Arnt-like 1 (Bmal1), and Occludin in brain tissue. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of Bmal1, Occludin, tight junction protein (Claudin-5), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and angiopoietins(Ang), and related analysis was conducted. ResultsCompared with the Sham group, the MCAO group exhibited significantly aggravated neurological deficits, cerebral infarction volume, brain pathological damage, and BBB leakage (P0.01) and significantly reduced cerebral blood perfusion (P0.01). The expression of Bmal1, vWF, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), and Ang in brain tissue was significantly enhanced (P0.01), while the expression of Occludin and Claudin-5 was significantly weakened (P0.01). Compared with the MCAO group, the ECD-MCAO group showed significantly aggravated neurological deficits, cerebral infarction volume, and BBB leakage (P0.01), obviously worsened brain pathological damage (P0.05), significantly reduced cerebral blood perfusion (P0.01), and significantly decreased expression of Bmal1, vWF, VEGFA, Ang, Occludin, and Claudin-5 in brain tissue (P0.01). Compared with the ECD-MCAO group, the HXRLP groups of all doses presented significantly improved neurological deficits, cerebral infarction volume, brain pathological damage, and BBB leakage (P0.01), significantly increased cerebral blood perfusion (P0.01), and enhanced expression levels of Bmal1, vWF, VEGFA, Ang, Occludin, and Claudin-5 in brain tissue (P0.01). ConclusionHXRLP can regulate the clock protein Bmal1 and promote the expression of VEGFA, Ang, Occludin, and Claudin-5, thereby improving BBB damage after IS.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the current status and changing trends of the disease burden of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in China from 1990 to 2023, and to quantitatively assess the impact of different influencing factors on this disease burden, thereby providing references for the prevention of TBI.
METHODS:
Based on the 2023 Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), indicators including incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) were used to analyze the status and changing trends of TBI disease burden in China from 1990 to 2023. Additionally, the decomposition method established by Gupta was adopted to quantify the effects of population growth, population aging, age-specific incidence rate, and disease severity on YLDs.
RESULTS:
From 1990 to 2023, the age-standardized incidence rate and YLDs rate of TBI in China showed an overall upward trend, with a significant downward trend between 2015 and 2020, followed by a resumption of upward trend after 2020. The disease burden of TBI in males was higher than that in females, with a larger increase amplitude. The elderly population had higher TBI incidence rate and YLDs rate, also with a larger upward amplitude. Falls were the main cause of TBI in China, and the changing trend of the disease burden caused by falls was consistent with the overall trend of TBI disease burden; meanwhile, the elderly population bore a relatively high disease burden from falls. Taking 1990 as the baseline, the growth rates of YLDs in males and females in 2023 were 101.54% and 101.40%, respectively. For males, the proportions of YLDs growth attributed to population growth, population aging, age-specific incidence rate, and disease severity were 26.91%, 49.62%, 37.74%, and -12.73%, respectively; for females, the corresponding proportions were 28.85%, 57.69%, 27.65%, and -12.79%.
CONCLUSION
From 1990 to 2023, population aging had a significant impact on the disease burden of TBI in China. Strengthening the prevention and control of falls and paying close attention to males and the elderly population should be the key focuses of TBI prevention and control work in China in the future.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of treatment time for total marrow irradiation (TMI) or total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) based on helical tomotherapy, establish a time parameter framework for the application of TMI/TMLI techniques, and provide a basis for optimizing clinical treatment efficiency, predicting patient tolerance, and streamlining workflow. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 57 patients who received TMI/TMLI using helical tomotherapy between November 2024 and July 2025. Patients were stratified by height ( ≤ 130 cm group vs. > 130 cm group). Megavoltage computed tomography scanning time, beam-on time, and total treatment time were recorded. The relationship between height and treatment time was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. An independent samples t-test was used to compare treatment time between TMI and TMLI modes. Results In the ≤ 130 cm group, the mean megavoltage computed tomography scanning time, beam-on time, and total treatment time per fraction were (9.67 ± 1.47), (39.96 ± 9.08), and (49.63 ± 10.16) minutes, respectively. In the > 130 cm group, the corresponding times were (14.52 ± 1.17), (60.45 ± 11.19), and (74.97 ± 11.82) minutes, respectively. Treatment time was positively correlated with height (r = 0.756, P < 0.001). Among patients taller than 130 cm, there was no statistically significant difference in treatment time between the TMI and TMLI (P > 0.05). Conclusion Although helical tomotherapy requires a relatively long treatment time, its technical characteristics are well-suited for the extensive and complex target volumes involved in TMI/TMLI. Future technological upgrades and standardized stratification hold promise for enhancing both efficiency and precision, thereby expanding clinical applicability.

With the development of clinical related disciplines, the update and establishment of relevant standards/guidelines at home and abroad, GBZ 185-2006 Diagnostic Criteria for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene (hereinafter referred to as “GBZ 185-2006”) was unable to meet clinical needs. Therefore, the GBZ 185-2006 was revised based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, in accordance with relevant laws/regulations and relevant standards/guidelines in combination with review of research data on occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) home and abroad, and the development of clinical practice and clinical related disciplines. The main modifications include: adding terms and definitions of OMDT, modifying the description of clinical manifestations of the diagnostic principles, adjusting the description of latency, deleting the diagnostic requirement of the incidence probability, adding the specific allergen patch test as the etiological diagnostic index, standardizing the application scope, operating procedure and precautions of the specific allergen patch test. In addition, the relevant content of “Basic Characteristics and Clinical Types of Skin Damage of Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene” in Appendix A is improved, the treatment principles are revised, and the content of new progress in treatment, artificial liver application, are added. The revised GBZ 185-2024 Diagnostic Standard for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene is more scientific and practical, and can provide technical basis for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of OMDT in medical and health institutions.

ObjectiveTo explore the intervention effect and molecular mechanism of Dabufei decoction in Dunhuang formula combined with cisplatin on Lewis lung adenocarcinoma-bearing mice. MethodFifty C57BL/6J mice were used, with 10 randomly assigned to the blank group (without modeling), and 40 subcutaneously inoculated with Lewis cells to establish a Lewis lung adenocarcinoma-bearing mouse model. These 40 mice were randomly divided into the following four groups (with 10 mice in each group): Model group (equal volume of physiological saline), cisplatin group (5 mg·kg-1), Dabufei decoction group (14.35 g·kg-1·d-1), and Dabufei decoction combined with cisplatin group (Dabufei decoction 14.35 g·kg-1·d-1 + cisplatin 5 mg·kg-1). Each group was treated continuously for 14 days. The general condition of the mice was observed, body weight changes were recorded, and the tumor inhibition rate, spleen index, and thymus index were calculated. Peripheral blood white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT), and hemoglobin (HGB) were detected by routine blood tests. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) and natural killer (NK) cells in the spleen. Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to determine the expression of proteins and mRNA related to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in tumor tissues. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed decreased body weight (P<0.05), spleen index, and thymus index (P<0.05), decreased percentage of NK cells in the spleen (P<0.05), increased percentage of Treg cells (P<0.05), and decreased counts of WBC, PLT, and HGB (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the Dabufei decoction group exhibited significant tumor growth inhibition, increased body weight, and reduced tumor weight (P<0.05), increased percentage of NK cells (P<0.05), decreased proportion of Treg cells (P<0.05), and increased counts of WBC, PLT, and HGB (P<0.05). In the cisplatin group, tumor growth was significantly inhibited, body weight significantly decreased (P<0.05), and tumor weight significantly reduced (P<0.05). The spleen index and thymus index decreased (P<0.05), and the percentage of Treg cells significantly decreased (P<0.05). The counts of WBC, PLT, and HGB significantly decreased (P<0.05). In the Dabufei decoction combined with cisplatin group, tumor growth was significantly inhibited, and tumor weight significantly reduced (P<0.05). The levels of phosphorylated PI3K, Akt, and mTOR proteins and mRNA in tumor tissues were significantly reduced in all medication groups (P<0.05). Compared with the cisplatin group, the Dabufei decoction combined with cisplatin group showed significantly inhibited tumor growth, reduced tumor weight (P<0.05), increased body weight (P<0.05), increased spleen index and thymus index (P<0.05), increased percentage of NK cells (P<0.05), decreased percentage of Treg cells (P<0.05), significantly increased counts of WBC, PLT, and HGB (P<0.05), and reduced levels of phosphorylated PI3K, Akt, and mTOR and their mRNA (P<0.05). ConclusionDabufei decoction combined with cisplatin has a synergistic effect with reduced toxicity, effectively regulating immune function, increasing the proportion of NK cells, reducing the proportion of Treg cells, improving bone marrow suppression, and downregulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway to inhibit tumor growth in Lewis lung adenocarcinoma-bearing mice.

Objective:To understand the awareness and influencing factors of core information on tuberculosis prevention and control in the elderly population in China.Methods:The study included all participants aged ≥60 from the "13 th Five-Year" National Tuberculosis Control Plan end-term assessment in 2020, with 13 706 valid questionnaires obtained. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the awareness rate of core information on tuberculosis prevention and control in the elderly. Results:The total awareness rate of core information on tuberculosis prevention and control in the elderly aged ≥60 was 78.4%, with the highest for "suspicious symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis" (85.4%) and the lowest for "whether pulmonary tuberculosis can be cured" (65.3%). The complete awareness rate of core information on tuberculosis prevention and control in the elderly was 41.3%, and the proportion of those who received tuberculosis health education is 67.6%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that factors associated with low awareness of core information included females ( OR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.86-1.00), ages 70- ( OR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.84-0.98) and ≥80 ( OR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.68-0.87) and minority ethnicity ( OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.74-0.99). Factors associated with high awareness of core information included educational levels of junior high school ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.34-1.58), high school ( OR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.45-1.81), junior college ( OR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.11-1.68), and an undergraduate degree or higher ( OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.09-2.11), and receiving tuberculosis health education ( OR=2.13, 95% CI: 1.97-2.27). Conclusions:In 2020, the awareness rate of core information on tuberculosis prevention and control in Chinese older adults aged ≥60 was lower than the national planning target. Therefore, there should be an increased focus on health education about tuberculosis for elderly females, those aged ≥70, ethnic minorities, and those with lower education levels.
