Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(3):367-370
Objective:
To assess the effects of Socioeconomic status on the dietary quality of children and adolescents, and to provide the reference for improving primary students’ dietary quality.
Methods:
A total of 2 496 students from 16 schools (4 urban primary schools, 4 rural primary schools, 4 urban middle schools, and 4 rural middle schools) in Fangshan District, Beijing, were included using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Information on 7-day intake of cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat and dairy was collected using questionnaires and dietary quality was graded according to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016).
Results:
The dietary quality for urban children and adolescents was better than that for rural ones. Compared with rural children, their urban peers had higher scores for intake of vegetables, fruits, and dairy (all were P<0.01), but lower scores for intake of meat (P=0.01). For children with parental education level of senior high school, the dietary scores were higher in urban areas (P<0.05), whereas no urban-rural disparity was found for children with higher educated parents (junior college or above, P=0.17). In children with monthly household income less than 5 000 yuan, the urban dietary scores were higher than that of rural areas (P<0.01), whereas in the group above 5 000 yuan, the difference between urban and rural areas was no longer statistically significant(P>0.05). The multi-factor analysis showed that living in urban areas, being girls, being younger, with higher educated parents and with higher monthly household income were protective factors for dietary quality. However, the effect of household income on dietary quality differed between urban and rural areas (P<0.05).
Conclusion
In the process of dietary guidance and intervention, children with relatively low socio-economic level should be given a priority to provide appropriate nutrition education and welfare policies.

Hemostatic materials are essential for the treatment of trauma patients with massive blood loss in battlefields and disaster environments. According to the site and severity of trauma, different types of hemostatic materials need to be used to stop bleeding urgently. At present, first-aid hemostatic materials for bleeding on body surface wounds, extremities and junctions have been well applied. However, in the case of deep bleeding wounds in the thoracic and abdominal cavity and internal organs and even non-compressible hemostasis, there are still no ideal hemostatic materials in early emergency treatment. In this review, the authors elaborate the classification and mechanism of hemostatic materials and their application in trauma first aid, so as to provide references for the use of hemostatic materials in first aid.

Based on the"pivot movement"theory of distinguished physician Huang Yuanyu in the Qing Dynasty,it is believed that the core mechanism of abdominal flatulence disease is the unfavorable operation of the central axis pivot,and the ascent and descent disorder of qi movement in the central earth.The pathogenesis of abdominal flatulence disease was explained from the perspectives of mistakenly dropping the damage to yang,keeping the lung qi from falling,and declining central qi deficiency.The main concept of clinical practice was to promote the movement of the middle earth,promote the movement of the spleen and stomach,and restore position of yin and yang and clearing and turbidity.Examples were given of the five commonly used TCM prescriptions,including Xiaqi Decoction,Banxia Xiexin Decoction,Gancao Xiexin Decoction,Shengjiang Xiexin Decoction and Xuanfu Daizhe Decoction,to explain the treatment approach guided by the theory of"pivot movement",in order to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To identify dietary patterns among children and adolescents aged from 7 to 18 and the associations between these patterns and family characteristics.Methods:A stratified cluster sampling method was used. Data was collected on 2 438 students and their parents through physical examinations and questionnaires. Students were from 16 schools (4 urban primary schools, 4 rural primary schools, 4 urban middle schools, and 4 rural middle schools) in Fangshan district, Beijing. Dietary patterns were derived by factor analysis. Rank sum tests and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlations between family characteristics and the scores on dietary patterns. Generalized linear mixed models were used to examine the associations between family characteristics and dietary patterns, for univariate analyses.Results:Two dietary patterns were identified: the risk pattern and the protective pattern. Results from the univariate analyses showed that maternal BMI was associated with the risk pattern ( P=0.011). All factors, including the only-child, parental education level, monthly household income, paternal age at birth and maternal BMI, were related to the protective pattern (all P<0.05) except for the paternal BMI. After adjusting for gender, age, locations of residence (urban-rural) and BMI z-score, children with a lower parental education level and higher monthly household income were more likely to adhere to the risk pattern ( β=-0.10, 95% CI:-0.16- -0.04; β=0.07, 95% CI: 0.02-0.12, respectively). For the protective pattern, the scores were positively associated with parental education level ( β=0.08, 95% CI: 0.02-0.14), monthly household income ( β=0.06, 95% CI: 0.02-0.11) and maternal age at birth ( β=0.02, 95% CI: 0.00-0.03). Children from the one-child families were more likely to adhere to the protective pattern ( β=-0.13, 95% CI: -0.22- -0.03). Conclusions:Differences of dietary behaviors were seen among children and adolescents from families with different characteristics. Protective patterns for children from families with lower parental education, lower monthly household income, lower maternal age at birth or multiple children etc. should be promoted. Risk patterns of children with lower parental educational or higher monthly household income also need to be corrected.

Objective To analyze and compare the classification of left atrial size by different echocardiographic measurements based on the latest large sample of normal Chinese adults'echocardiographic data . Methods The echocardiography data of 1067 unselected adult outpatients were retrospectively analyzed . The outpatients were divided into normal or enlarged groups according to the left atrialantero-posteriordiameter(LAD)andleftatrialvolume(LAV),respectively.Results ①LADand LAV enlargement were found in 299 (28 .0% ) patients and 449 (42 .1% ) patients of the total population , respectively . ②There was a good positive linear correlation between LAD and LAV ( r = 0 .642 , P =0 .000) ,but the agreement for the classification of left atrial size by LAD and LAV was not ideal ( Kappa =0 .392 , P = 0 .000) . The majority of the patients ( 74 .6% ) with abnormal LAD had abnormal LAV . Conversely ,among the patients with abnormal LAV ( 50 .3% ) had normal LAD . ③ The sensitivity and specificity of judging left atrial enlargement were 76 .8% and 66 .8% for LAD>3 .7 cm in male ,and 74 .9%and 70 .6% for LAD>3 .4 cm in female ,respectively . The sensitivity and specificity of judging severely left atrial enlargement were 75 .5% and 78 .7% for LAD>4 .0 cm in male ,and 84 .2% and 75 .8% for LAD>3 .7 cm in female ,respectively . Conclusions The agreement of the classification of left atrial size by LAD and LAV is limited . LAD-based assessment may result in an underestimation of left atrial size . When LAD is larger than 4 .0 cm for male or 3 .7 cm for female ,the accuracy of LAD in the diagnosis of left atrial enlargement is better .

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of holographic image technology in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).Methods:The clinical data of 34 patients with prostate cancer who underwent RARP in our hospital during October 2020 and December 2020 was analyzed retrospectively. The average age of the patients was 67.8 (52-78) years. The mean BMI was 25.8 (18.0-32.3) kg/m 2. The median level of PSA before surgery was 13.4 (2-149) ng/ml. Median prostate volume was 31.7 (9.5-159.1) ml. EAU risk groups for biochemical recurrence of localised and locally advanced prostate cancer were list as below: 5 cases of low-risk, 7 cases of medium-risk, 22 cases of high-risk. There were 9, 16, 9 cases with the ASA score of 1, 2, 3 point, respectively. Preoperative Gleason score of 34 patients were list as below: 9 cases in score ≤6 group, 15 cases in score=7 group, 10 cases in score ≥8 group. For clinical stage before the surgery, 13 cases ≤T 2a stage, 1 case in T 2b stage, 20 cases ≥T 2c stage. The engineers established holographic images of 34 patients based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and the reports before the operation. Surgeons can obtain the size and location of tumors, surrounding neurovascular bundles visually by revolving, assembling, disassembling and concealing images, which was helpful for pre-surgery planning. By manipulating the holographic images extracorporeally, surgeons can discriminate Internal sphincter of urinary bladder and vesicoprostatic muscle, neurovascular bundles, membranous part, seminal vesicle easily, which improves the operation accuracy. Results:All 34 cases underwent operation successfully without transferring to open surgery. The median operative time was 157.5 (95-276) min with an estimated blood loss of 50 (20-300) ml. The median drainage removal time was 2 d and median hospitalization time was 3.5 d, respectively. The catheters were removed within an average time of 20.5 d. For postoperative Gleason score, there were 2 cases in score ≤6 group, 16 cases in score =7 group, 8 cases in score ≥8 group and 8 cases can’t make a score. For clinical stage after the surgery, 10 cases were ≤T 2a stage, 1 case was T 2b stage, 23 cases were ≥cT 2c stage. 22 cases underwent pelvic lymph node dissection, including a patient with right iliac fossa lymph node metastasis. There were 2 cases with positive surgical margin and 3 cases with Clavien-DindoⅠcomplications. The rate of 1-month and 3-month urinary continence were 47.1% and79.4%, respectively, 8 cases recovered erectile function after 3 month. Conclusions:Holographic image technology can promote cancer dissection completely, achieve urinary continence early and reduce perioperative complications tremendously. The technology is the "intraoperative security" for the accurate surgical treatment of prostate cancer.

Objective:Differences between randomized controlled trial (RCT) results and real world study (RWS) results may not represent a true efficacy-effectiveness gap because efficacy-effectiveness gap estimates may be biased when RWS and RCT differ significantly in study design or when there is bias in RWS result estimation. Secondly, when there is an efficacy- effectiveness gap, it should not treat every patient the same way but assess the real-world factors influencing the intervention's effectiveness and identify the subgroup likely to achieve the desired effect.Methods:Six databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP) were searched up to 31 st December 2022 with detailed search strategies. A scoping review method was used to integrate and qualitatively describe the included literature inductively. Results:Ten articles were included to discuss how to use the RCT research protocol as a template to develop the corresponding RWS research protocol. Moreover, based on correctly estimating the efficacy-effectiveness gap, evaluate the intervention effect in the patient subgroup to confirm the subgroup that can achieve the expected benefit-risk ratio to bridge the efficacy-effectiveness gap.Conclusion:Using real-world data to simulate key features of randomized controlled clinical trial study design can improve the authenticity and effectiveness of study results and bridge the efficacy-effectiveness gap.

Objective:Randomized controlled trials (RCT) usually have strict implementation criteria. The included subjects' characteristics of the conditions for the intervention implementation are quite different from the actual clinical environment, resulting in discrepancies between the risk-benefit of interventions in actual clinical use and the risk-benefit shown in RCT. Therefore, some methods are needed to enhance the extrapolation of RCT results to evaluate the real effects of drugs in real people and clinical practice settings.Methods:Six databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP) were searched up to 31 st December 2022 with detailed search strategies. A scoping review method was used to integrate and qualitatively describe the included literature inductively. Results:A total of 12 articles were included. Three methods in the included literature focused on: ①improving the design of traditional RCT to increase population representation; ②combining RCT Data with real-world data (RWD) for analysis;③calibrating RCT results according to real-world patient characteristics.Conclusions:Improving the design of RCT to enhance the population representation can improve the extrapolation of the results of RCT. Combining RCT data with RWD can give full play to the advantages of data from different sources; the results of the RCT were calibrated against real-world population characteristics so that the effects of interventions in real-world patient populations can be predicted.
10.Changes in the body shape and ergonomic compatibility for functional dimensions of desks and chairs for students in Harbin during 2010-2024
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):315-320
Objective:
To analyze the change trends in the body shape indicators and proportions of students in Harbin from 2010 to 2024, and to investigate ergonomic compatibility of functional dimensions of school desks and chairs with current student shape indicators, so as to provide a reference for revising furniture standards of desks and chairs.
Methods:
Between September and November of both 2010 and 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was conducted across three districts in Harbin, yielding samples of 6 590 and 6 252 students, respectively. Anthropometric shape indicators cluding height, sitting height, crus length, and thigh length-and their proportional changes were compared over the 15-year period. The 2024 data were compared with current standard functional dimensions of school furniture. The statistical analysis incorporated t-test and Mann-Whitney U- test.
Results:
From 2010 to 2024, average height increased by 1.8 cm for boys and 1.5 cm for girls; sitting height increased by 1.5 cm for both genders; crus length increased by 0.3 cm for boys and 0.4 cm for girls; and thigh length increased by 0.5 cm for both genders. The ratios of sitting height to height, and sitting height to leg length increased by less than 0.1 . The difference between desk chair height and 1/3 sitting height ranged from 0.4-0.8 cm. Among students matched with size 0 desks and chairs, 22.0% had a desk to chair height difference less than 0, indicating that the desk to chair height difference might be insufficient for taller students. The differences between seat height and fibular height ranged from -1.4 to 1.1 cm; and the differences between seat depth and buttock popliteal length ranged from -9.8 to 3.4 cm. Among obese students, the differences between seat width and 1/2 hip circumference ranged from -20.5 to -8.7 cm, while it ranged from -12.2 to -3.8 cm among non obese students.
Conclusion
Current furniture standards basically satisfy hygienic requirements; however, in the case of exceptionally tall and obese students, ergonomic accommodations such as adaptive seating allocation or personalized adjustments are recommended to meet hygienic requirements.
