Objective: To investigate the prevalence of comorbidity of myopia, and overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students in Yanqing District, Beijing Municipality, so as to provide the evidence for \prevention and control of comorbidity. Methods: In September from 2020 to 2024, a stratified cluster sampling method was adopted annually to select primary, junior high school, senior high school, and vocational high school students in Yanqing District as survey subjects. Myopia was screened based on Screening Protocol for Myopia in Children and Adolescents. Height an weight were measured, and overweight and obesity were determined using the Screening for overweight and Obesity in School-Age Children and Adolescents. Results: A total of 9 883 individuals were surveyed, including 5 219 primary school students (52.81%), 2 486 junior high school students (25.15%), and 2 178 senior high school / vocational high school students (22.04%). There were 5 154 boys (52.15%) and 4 729 girls (47.85%). From 2020 to 2024, the numbers of primary and middle school students in Yanqing District with myopia, overweight, and obesity were 4 426, 1 897, and 3 164, respectively, with detection rates of 44.78%, 19.19%, and 32.01%. The detection rates of myopia, overweight, and obesity showed an increasing trend with the elevation of school stage (all P<0.05). The detection rate of myopia was higher in girls than in boys, while the detection rate of obesity was lower in girls than in boys (all P<0.05). There were 2 588 individuals with both myopia and overweight/obesity, representing a detection rate of 26.19%, which showed an increasing trend (P<0.05), rising from 25.04% in 2020 to 34.41% in 2024. The detection rates of comorbidity of myopia, and overweight and obesity among primary school, junior high school, and senior high school / vocational high school students were 13.22%, 36.93%, and 45.00%, respectively, showing an increasing trend with the elevation of school stage (P<0.05). The difference between genders was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions The detection rates of comorbidity of myopia, and overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students in Yanqing District is relatively high and shows an upward trend, with students in higher school stage being the key target group for prevention and control. It is recommended to strengthen health education on the co-prevention of multiple health issues and implement differentiated interventions based on school stages.

Objective: To explore the relationship between snack consumption and depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a basis for improving depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students with different left behind experiences. Methods: From October to December 2022,a cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 ethnic minority areas (Fugong County, Longling County, Longyang District, Luchun County, Mojiang County, Nanjian County, Qiaojia County, Shuangjiang County, Tengchong City, Yuanmou County, Zhenyuan County) in Yunnan Province for a questionnaire survey. The Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 was applied to assess depressive symptoms in first year junior high school students, and snack consumption was collected by employing food frequency questionnaire. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between first year junior high school students snack consumption and depressive symptoms, and the analysis was stratified according to left behind experience. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms among firstyear junior high school students with and without left behind experience were 36.25% and 26.91%, respectively. After controlling for confounding variables, the generalized linear model analysis showed that sweet snacks ( β=0.16, 95%CI =0.07-0.25), fast food ( β=0.14, 95%CI =0.04-0.23) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.09, 95%CI =0.01-0.17) of first year junior high school students with left behind experience (all P <0.05). Compared with those without such behavior, the risk of depressive symptoms was higher in consumption of fast food ( β=0.13, 95%CI =0.07-0.18) and carbonated drinks ( β=0.10, 95%CI =0.06-0.15)among first year junior high school students without left behind experience (both P <0.05). Conclusion Snack consumption among first year junior high school students in Yunnan may increase the risk of developing depressive symptoms, while first year junior high school students with left behind experience may have a greater risk of developing depressive symptoms.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of Oncomelania hupensis snails in Yunnan Province fol-lowing interruption of schistosomiasis transmission, so as to provide the evidence for assessing the risk of schistosomiasis transmission and scientifically formulating the schistosomiasis surveillance program. Methods According to the requirements of the National Schistosomiasis Surveillance Scheme (2020 Edition), O. hupensis snail surveillance data were collected from 18 schistosomiasis-endemic counties (cities, districts) in Yunnan Province from 2020 to 2024, including area of snail survey, area of snail habitats, area of re-emerging snail habitats, number of frames surveyed, number of frames with O. hupensis snails, number of O. hupensis snails captured, and number of living snails, and the occurrence of frames with snails and mean density of living snails were calculated. Changes in snail status over the 5-year period from 2020 to 2024 and the differences in snail distributions specified by epidemic intensity, environmental type, and vegetation type were analyzed. Results The areas of snail survey increased from 1 727.96 hm² in 2020 to 3 894.45 hm² in 2024 (peak) across 18 schistosomiasis-endemic counties (cities, districts) in Yunnan Province during the period from 2020 through 2024. The areas of snail habitats increased from 70.36 hm² in 2020 to a peak in 2023 (172.04 hm²), followed by a reduction to 132.36 hm² in 2024, and the areas of re-emerging snail habitats increased from 42.71 hm² in 2020 to a peak in 2022 (78.43 hm²), followed by a reduction to 40.21 hm² in 2024. The occurrence of frames with snails and mean density of living snails increased from 1.24% (3 025/244 404) and (0.033 2 ± 0.038 7) snails/0.1 m² in 2020 to peaks at 2.03% (6 231/307 563) and (0.066 9 ± 0.068 4) snails/0.1 m² in 2023, followed by reductions to 1.04% (5 829/559 941) and (0.032 6 ± 0.057 7) snails/0.1 m² in 2024, respectively. There was a significant difference in the occurrence of frames with snails over the 5-year study period (χ² = 1 962.95, P < 0.05), and the occurrence of frames with snails reduced by 48.71% in 2024 relative to in 2023 (χ² = 1 411.05, P < 0.005); however, there was no significant difference in the mean density of living snails over the 5 years (H = 5.310, P > 0.05). There were significant differences in the occurrence of frames with snails (χ² = 481.27, P < 0.05) and mean density of living snails (H = 6.872, P < 0.05) in schistosomiasis-endemic areas with different epidemic intensities. The occurrence of frames with snails (χ² = 25.32 and 38.70, both P values < 0.017) and mean density of living snails (Z = 28.55 and 49.96, both P values < 0.017) were higher in schistosomiasis transmission-interrupted and eliminated areas with snails than in schistosomiasis-eliminated areas without snails, and the occurrence of frames with snails (χ² = 453.54, P < 0.017) and mean density of living snails (Z = −56.97, P < 0.017) were higher in schistosomiasis-eliminated areas with snails than in schistosomiasis transmission-interrupted areas with snails. O. hupensis snails were mainly distributed in paddy fields, dry farmlands and ditches; however, the occurrence of frames with snails (13.40%, 424/3 164) and mean density of living snails [(0.252 8 ± 0.158 7) snails/0.1 m²] were higher in ponds/weirs than in other types of environments (both P values < 0.05). Rice, dry farmland crops and weeds were main vegetations in which O. hupensis snails were distributed, and the occurrence of frames with snails (2.29%, 7 111/310 140) and mean density of living snails [(0.072 3 ± 0.018 9) snails/0.1 m²] were higher in weeds than in other types of environments (both P values < 0.05). Conclusions O. hupensis snails have been effectively controlled in Yunnan Province following implementation of integrated schistosomiasis control measures; however, there are still risk factors for schistosomiasis transmission, including reduced attention to schistosomiasis control and snail re-emergence. Improved control efforts and surveillance system construction and timely identification of risk factors of snail status and timely management are recommended to ensure the achievement of the target of schistosomiasis elimination as scheduled.

Objective To explore the effects of different concentrations of simvastatin on nerve regeneration after sciatic nerve injury.Methods Rats were randomly divided into the normal group,the control group,the low-dose group and the high-dose group,with 3 rats in each group.Except for the normal group,adult rat sciatic nerve crush injury models were established in the other groups.Rats in the normal group and the control group were orally administered with water,while those in the low-dose group and high-dose group were orally administered with 98%simvastatin at dosages of 4 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL,respectively.The sciatic nerve regeneration in rats was evaluated by sciatic function index(SFI),HE staining,luxol fast blue(LFB)staining and immunofluorescence staining,etc.Results The SFI of rats in the high-dose group 7 days and 14 days after surgery were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in SFI of rats between the low-dose group and the control group 7 days and 14 days after surgery(P>0.05).HE staining and LFB staining results showed that compared with the control group,the number of neurons of rats in the high-dose group increased,the nerve fibers and myelin were clearer and denser,and the nerve function was significantly restored;while no significant improvement was observed in the sciatic nerve of rats in the low-dose group.The immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with the control group,the immunofluorescence intensity in the high-dose group increased,while that in the low-dose group decreased,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion High-dose simvastatin can promote peripheral nerve regeneration by regulating the expression of M2 macrophages.

Objective This study aimed to examine whether body mass index(BMI)was causally associated with blood transfusion reactions.Methods A two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis using the inverse variance weighted(IVW),MR-Egger regression,weighted median method(WME),weighted model method(WM),simple model method(SM)and simple median method(SM)was performed.Public genome-wide association study(GWAS)analysis was used as the data source,with summary statistical data sets of BMI(n=126 003;GWAS ID:ebi-a-GCST90095042)as the exposure variable and summary statistical data sets of transfusion reactions(n=199 451;GWAS ID:finn-b-ST19)as the outcome variable.The causal association between BMI and transfusion reactions was analyzed.Results 42 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with transfusion reactions were identified by MR analysis.The IVW showed evidence to support the causal relationship between BMI and transfusion reactions(OR=0.29,95%CI=0.10～0.85).Nonetheless,the effect value β of the MR-Egger regression approach contrasts with that of IVW.The outcomes of the heterogeneity analysis,pleiotropy analysis,and sensitivity analysis indicated that P>0.05.Conclusion The results of MR analysis supported the possibility of a causal relationship between BMI and blood transfusion reactions,that is,the reduction of BMI will increase the risk of blood transfusion reactions.

Objective To analyse the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with intermittent catheterisation in treating postoperative urinary retention after radical surgery for cervical cancer,and provide reference for the clinical treatment of postoperative urinary retention.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted based on the clinical data of patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University,from Sept 2019 to Dec 2021 and subsequently developed urinary retention.The patients were treated with a combination of acupuncture and intermittent catheterization.We observed residual urine volume,duration of acupuncture treatment,and urinary tract infection status to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the acupuncture combined with intermittent catheterization regimen.We examined the relationship between treatment duration and various factors such as age,pathological type,surgical-pathological staging,surgical method,pre-treatment catheter indwelling time,pre-treatment residual urine volume,presence or absence of postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy,pre-existing urinary tract infection,and whether ureteral stenting was performed,in order to analyze the factors affecting the treatment duration.Results A total of 156 patients were reviewed.After treatment,132 cases had a post-treatment residual urine volume<100 mL,7 cases had a volume of 100-200 mL,and 15 cases had a volume>200 mL.Two cases still had great difficulty in urination after treatment,resulting in an overall effectiveness rate of 89.1%.No significant adverse events occurred in the patients.The treatment duration ranged from 2 to 17 days,with an average treatment time of 6.2 days.The treatment duration was a correlated with the preoperative indwelling catheter duration,residual urine volume and postoperative radiotherapy.Conclusion Acupuncture combined with intermittent catheterisation in treating urinary retention after radical surgery for cervical cancer has good efficacy,short treatment time and no obvious adverse effects,and can be an option for treating postoperative urinary retention.

Depression is a heterogeneous mental disorder in which the interaction between genetic susceptibility and environ-mental factors plays a key role in its pathogenesis.Although the specific mechanisms of the disease still need to be thoroughly studied and elucidated,there is now a broad consensus that epi-genetic markers have a central influence on its mechanism of ac-tion.DNA methylation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BD-NF)is not only regarded as a promising epigenetic biomarker of pathology,but may also help predict the efficacy of antidepres-sants.In this paper we reviewed the gene structure of BDNF and its DNA methylation regulation mechanism,and also analyzed the changes of DNA methylation of this factor in depression pa-tients and animal models,aiming to provide new ideas and theo-retical support for clinical research.

Objective To analyze the symptomatic improvement effects of vitamin D in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD)based on the microbiota-gut-brain axis.Methods Seventy-two children with ASD were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 36 cases in each group.Three cases dropped out in the control group.The observation group received 1200 IU/day of vitamin D supplementation in addition to conventional rehabilitation training,while the control group received only conventional rehabilitation training.The intervention lasted for 12 weeks.Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention using the childhood autism rating scale(CARS),autism behavior checklist(ABC),and repetitive behavior scale-revised(RBS-R).Resting-state functional connectivity of the brain was measured using near-infrared functional imaging,and serum levels of 25(OH)D3,inflammatory cytokines,and gut microbiota were analyzed.The differences in these indicators before and after the intervention were compared between the two groups to evaluate clinical efficacy.Results The between-group differences in pre-and post-intervention changes showed that the observation group had significantly greater improvements than the control group in the following measures:CARS scores(-5.92±1.40 vs.-2.55±1.43),RBS-R scores(-5.99±1.01 vs.-3.10±1.47),resting-state brain functional connectivity(0.19±0.15 vs.0.10±0.18),serum 25(OH)D3 levels[(34.89±8.18)ng/mL vs.(0.68±6.73)ng/mL],serum interleukin-6(IL-6)levels[(-6.60±6.07)pg/mL vs.(-0.74±9.45)pg/mL],IL-1β levels[(-2.56±1.33)pg/mL vs.(-0.04±2.13)pg/mL],and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels[(-4.09±3.85)pg/mL vs.(0.21±4.05)pg/mL](P<0.05).Post-intervention,significant differences in gut microbial β-diversity were observed between the two groups(R2=0.030,P=0.040,Adonis).LEfSe analysis revealed that the observation group exhibited enrichment in Clostridia(LDA=4.747,P=0.003),Clostridiales(LDA=4.747,P=0.003),Clostridiaceae(LDA=3.476,P=0.001),Lachnospiraceae(LDA=4.709,P=0.004),Odoribacteraceae(LDA=3.458,P=0.027),Odoribacter(LDA=3.458,P=0.027),Burkholderiales(LDA=3.339,P=0.038),Firmicutes(LDA=4.764,P=0.003),and Betaproteobacteria(LDA=3.338,P=0.037).Conclusion Vitamin D supplementation can modulate gut microbial diversity in children with ASD,significantly influence the abundance of specific gut microbiota,reduce systemic inflammatory cytokines,enhance brain functional connectivity,and alleviate clinical symptoms of ASD.

Objective:To explore the types and characteristics of self-management behaviors among stroke patients, as well as to analyze the influencing factors associated with these different types, providing a reference for developing intervention programs aimed at enhancing self-management behaviors in stroke patients.Methods:This study adopted a cross-sectional survey design. The stroke inpatients were selected through convenience sampling from the Department of Neurology at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University between October 2023 and August 2024. Data collection was conducted using the following instruments: the General Information Questionnaire, Stroke Self-Management Behavior Rating Scale, Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale, Stroke Health Knowledge Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and the modified Rankin Scale. Stroke patients' self-management behaviors were categorized using systematic cluster analysis, and disordered multi-class Logistic regression was employed to identify the influencing factors associated with each category.Results:Finally, 210 stroke patients were enrolled, there were 148 males and 62 females, aged (60.82 ± 13.05) years. The total score of self-management behavior in stroke patients was (144.18 ± 23.24) points, with a score rate of 56.54%. Systematic cluster analysis identified four distinct self-management behaviors patterns: consistent implementers (25.71%, 54/210); unrealistically optimistic(54.76%, 115/210); optimistically proactive (13.81%, 29/210); and passive and resigned (5.71%, 12/210). Disordered multi-class Logistic regression analysis indicated that higher scores in stroke-related health knowledge were associated with a greater likelihood of being categorized as stable practice type and optimistic proactive type ( OR=1.130, 1.254, both P<0.05). Conversely, increased levels of depression correlate with a higher probability of being classified as passive waiting type ( OR=0.684, 0.722, 0.540, all P<0.05). Additionally, lower modified Rankin Scale scores were linked to an increased tendency to fall into the categories of stable practice type and blind optimism type ( OR=19.759, 23.148, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The self-management behaviors of stroke patients are generally suboptimal and exhibited distinct classification features. Significant differences are observed in stroke health knowledge, depression, and the modified Rankin Scale scores among the four patient types. Healthcare professionals should tailor intervention measures to the characteristics of each type to enhance patients' self-management capacity.
