Objective: To investigate the present situation of health education on school myopia prevention and control in primary and middle schools in Beijing, so as to provide scientific basis and suggestions for effective implementation of health education on school myopia prevention and control. Methods: From November 6-17, 2023, a total of 551 school doctors and health care teachers from public primary and secondary schools in seven districts of Beijing were investigated by using stratified random cluster sampling method. The contents included basic information, the basic situation of school health work, and the status of myopia prevention and control in schools. The data was described by frequency and proportion. Chisquare test was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: A total of 89.8% of the respondents were found in the school of offering health education courses about myopia prevention and control. Among these respondents, 54.5% were equipped with health education course material of professional myopia prevention and control, and the teachers were primarily class teachers (57.6%), health care teachers (45.5%), and physical education teachers (45.1%), and most of the classes were conducted once a month (33.7%) and once a semester (28.1%). A total of 95.6% of the subjects had health education activities about myopia prevention and control at their schools. The frequency of activities was once a month (38.5%) and once a semester (27.9%). There were statistically significant differences of the report rate in setting up health education courses on myopia prevention and control, and the frequency of activities in different areas and different types of schools (χ2=19.53, 13.15, 34.30, 20.32, P<0.05). Conclusions Health education on school myopia prevention and control in primary and middle schools in Beijing is supportive. But health education courses taught by professional teachers should pay attention to the norms of the course material to complete a certain amount of class time, and development of health education activities should be diversified, so as to effectively implement health education of myopia prevention and control at school.

AIM: To observe the clinical efficacy of multi -glycoside of tripterygium wilfordii (GTW) on diabetic nephropathy. METHODS: Fifty-one patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) with a history of GTW dosing admitted to the outpatient clinic of Yijishan Hospital affiliated to Wannan Medical College from June 2019 to October 2022 were selected as study subjects, and were followed up regularly to observe the changes in laboratory indexes before and after GTW dosing and adverse drug reactions after 6 months of treatment. The t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test or χ

Objective:Based on the data of the baseline survey of hypertension and sodium intake monitoring in Anhui province in 2019, the salt intake in adult residents was estimated.Methods:Multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to select participants aged 18-69 years, questionnaire survey and related measurements were conducted. Salt intake in participants with different characteristics were estimated with complex sample and linearization of Taylor series based on design and the correlation between salt intake and blood pressure, waist circumference and BMI were tested by linear regression.Results:A total of 1 500 participants were included. The overall salt intake was 9.14 g/d, which was 9.84 g/d in men and 8.47 g/d in women ( P<0.05). The differences in salt intake across different subgroups were significant ( P<0.05). Univariate linear regression analysis showed that salt intake was positively correlated with SBP, DBP, waist circumference and BMI ( P<0.05), while multivariate linear regression analysis (adjusted for other factors) only showed a positive correlation between salt intake and BMI ( β=0.053,95% CI: 0.028-0.078, P<0.05). Conclusion:The dietary salt intake in adult residents in Anhui was higher than WHO recommendation, suggesting that public health education need to be taken to reduce salt intake.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted lateral lymph node dissection for mid-low advanced rectal cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed. Inclusion criteria: (1) age between 18 and 80 years old; (2) rectal adenocarcinoma diagnosed by pathology; (3) without distant metastasis by preoperative CT or MRI; (4) patients underwent robotic-assisted total mesorectal resection (TME). Exclusion criteria: (1) conversion to open surgery; (2) multiple primary tumors; (3) patients underwent combined multiple organ resection. According to the above criteria, 137 patients undergoing robotic-assisted mid-low rectal cancer resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from December 2016 to April 2019 were enrolled. Ninety-seven cases underwent robotic-assisted total mesorectal excision (TME group) and 40 underwent robotic-assisted total mesorectal resection with lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) (TME+LLND group, pelvic LLND was performed with neurovascular guidance to retain pelvic autonomic nerves in the order of the left side the first and then the right side). The propensity score matching of 1:1 was performed with R software, based on age, sex, BMI, ASA classification, distance from tumor to the anal verge, preoperative chemoradiotherapy history, preoperative abdominal surgery history, the size of tumors and TNM stage. The operative indicators, postoperative recovery, pathology and postoperative complications within 30 days were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 72 cases were successfully matched (36 in each group), and there were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). The operation time of TME+LLND group was significantly longer than that of TME group [275.0 (180-405) minutes vs. 220.0 (140-320) minutes, Z=-3.680, P<0.001], while there were no statistically significant differences in blood loss during operation, time to postoperative first flatus, postoperative hospital stay, total hospital cost, tumor differentiation, and distal resection length of margin (all P>0.05). Circumferential resection margin was all negative in both groups. The number of harvested lymph modes in the TME+LLND groups was higher than that in the TME group [26 (18-37) vs. 14 (9-36), Z=-6.407, P<0.001]. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in postoperative morbidity and Clavien-Dindo classification of complication within 30 days between the two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusions:Although robotic lateral lymph node dissection requires longer operation time, it is a feasible, safe and effective procedure.

Objective To investigate the learning curve of Da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 42 patients who underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from October 2017 to August 2018 were collected.There were 30 males and 12 females,aged from 36 to 84 years,with an average age of 59 years.The learning curve was evaluated using the cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis and the best fitting curve method.According to the minimum number of surgeries required to cross the learning curve,the patients were divided into learning stage group and mastery stage group.Then general data and surgical efficacy of the two groups were compared.Observation indicators:(1) surgical situations;(2) results of CUSUM analysis;(3) comparison of general data between the two groups;(4) comparison of surgical efficacy between the two groups;(5) follow-up.Patients were followed up by outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect the postoperative complications,tumor recurrence and metastasis up to February 2019.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as Mean±SD,and comparison between groups was done using the independent sample t test.Count data were represented as absolute number,and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact propability.Comparison of ordinal data between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.Results (1) Surgical situations:all the 42 patients underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer successfully,without conversion to open surgery or perioperative death.Fourteen out of 42 patients underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted total radical gastrectomy and 28 underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted distal radical gastrectomy.The operation time and docking time were (213±31)minutes and (26± 11)minutes.The operation time and docking time had a tendency to decreasing as the surgical cases increasing.(2) Results of CUSUM analysis.The CUSUM learning curve were best modeled as a polynomial with equation:CUSUM (operation time)=0.016 9X3-1.913 3X2+ 50.985X-16.595,CUSUM (docking time) =0.012 8X3-1.070 7X2 + 22.189X-23.097 respectively (X means the surgical case).The P value of fitting test of models was ＜ 0.05,with goodness-of-fit (R2) as 0.960 and 0.985.The CUSUM learning curve of operation time reached its peak when the number of surgical cases accumulated to the 19th case.Nineteen cases were the minimum number of surgeries required to cross the learning curve.Similarly,The CUSUM learning curve of docking time reached its peak when the number of surgical cases accumulated to the 14th case,and 14 cases were the minimum number of surgeries required to skillfully master robot installation across the learning curve.(3) Comparison of general data between the two groups:patients were divided into learning stage group and mastery stage group with 19 cases as the cut-off point.Males,females,age,body mass index (BMI),cases in grade 1,2,3 of American society of anesthesiologists (ASA),cases with previous abdominal surgery history,cases with basic diseases,cases in T1,T2,T3,T4 stages of preoperative ultrasonic gastroscopic tumor T staging,maximum tumor diameter,cases in Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ stages of postoperative clinical staging,cases with total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy (surgical method) were 14,5,(60± 13)years,(23.7±2.9)kg/m2,1,16,2,3,8,5,3,3,8,(4.1±3.5)cm,6,7,6,10,9 in the learning stage group,and 16,7,(58±10)years,(23.7±1.3)kg/m2,1,17,5,2,14,3,6,9,5,(4.7±2.7)cm,8,9,6,18,5 in the mastery stage group,respectively.There was no significant difference in the sex,age,BMI,ASA score,basic diseases,preoperative ultrasonic gastroscopic tumor T staging,maximum tumor diameter,postoperative clinical staging,and surgical method between the two groups (x2 =0.086,t =0.475,-0.007,Z =-0.884,x2 =1.469,Z =-0.301,t =-0.651,Z =-0.079,-0.236,x2 =3.076,P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the previous abdominal surgery history between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).(4) Comparison of surgical efficacy between the two groups:operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph nodes harvested,time to first liquid food intake,cases with postoperative complications and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (230±25) minutes,(176± 103) mL,21±7,(5.1 ± 2.0) days,2,(9.3± 2.5)days in the learning stage group,and (191±18) minutes,(95±41)mL,21±6,(4.7±1.7)days,3,(8.4± 2.1)days in the mastery stage group,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (t =5.951,-3.359,P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in number of lymph nodes harvested,time to first liquid food intake,and duration of postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (t =-0.120,0.538,1.303,P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the cases with postoperative complications between the two groups (P＞0.05).(5) Follow-up:all the 42 patients were followed up for 6-16 months,with a median time of 11 months.No serious long-term complications,tumor recurrence and metastasis or death occurred during the follow-up.Conclusions The CUSUM learning curve of Da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer can be divided into the learning stage and the mastery stage.It is suggested that the surgeons need to finish 19 cases or more to master Da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective: To evaluate combined robotic and endoscopic surgery in the third space for gastric submucosal tumors(SMTs). Methods: Combined surgery in 4 patients were compared with 19 patients who underwent laparoscopic wedge resection between Aug 2017 and Feb 2018. Results: R₀ resection was achieved in all combined surgery patients. The operation time was longer (112±29 )min vs. (93±11 ) min (t=2.338, P<0.05), but less blood loss, (11±6)ml vs.(59±6)ml (t=15.102, P<0.01). In combined surgery group, there was a larger tumor over resected tissue percentage, 65.4%±28.2% vs.22.8%±19.6% ( t=3.680, P<0.05). Combined surgery group patients were with earlier first breaking wind (3±1.4) d vs.(4.1±0.9) d (t=2.026, P>0.05), and shorter hospital stay (6.5±1.3) d vs.( 8.5±0.6) d (t=4.902, P<0.01), but a little higher hospitalization costs(57 651±10 097)rmb vs.(42 620±5 086)rmb (t=4.508, P<0.01). There were no major postoperative complications occurred in neither groups, nor tumor recurrences after 3-month follow-up. Conclusion Combined robotic and endoscopic surgery in the third space for submucosal gastric tumors is a novel operation with short operation time, less blood loss and good result.

Objective: To understand the morbidity and epidemiological characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Xianyang in order to provide evidence for making prevention strategies. Methods: The incidence data of HFMD from 2013 to 2016 were collected from the National Disease Information Management System. The HFMD specimens were tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the results were analyzed by the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS19.0). Results: A total of 29 662 HFMD cases were reported in Xianyang from 2013 to 2016, and the average annual incidence rate was 143.62/100 000, including 406 severe cases and 4 deaths. There were statistically significant differences in incidence rate among the four years (P<0.01). The peak of the incidence occurred in April to July, and the second peak occurred in October to November. The top three counties which had high incidence were Wugong, Xunyi and Jingyang. There were statistically significant differences in different counties (P<0.01). The age group of 0-3 year scattered children has the most reported cases, a total of 26 399 cases, accounting for 89.00%. The number of male cases was higher than that of female cases and there were statistically significant differences between male and female (P<0.01). A total of 2 439 samples of HFMD were detected in the laboratory, the positive rate was 47.23%, among which coxsackievirus type 6 (CV-A6), coxsackievirus type 16 (CV-A16) and enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) were 38.02%, 29.91% and 21.01%. Conclusions The HFMD morbidity had obvious seasonal trend. Regional and demographic characteristics of morbidity were significant in Xianyang. The dominant pathogen was different from 2013 to 2016. The EV-A71 is easy to induce the epidemic of the HFMD.

Objective To investigate the effects of fluoride on trabecular bone of the tibia and lumbar in BALB/c mice.Methods Totally 64 four-week-old BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups by weight,16 per group:control group (treated with distilled water) and 3 sodium fluoride (NaF) exposure groups (treated with NaF at 25,50 and 100 mg/L F-),respectively.At 12 weeks,mice were killed and blood,two hind limbs and lumbar were collected.Bone fluoride content and incidence rates of dental fluorosis were determined.Serum content of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) were detected by micro enzyme labeled method.The ultrastructure of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in lumbar were observed via transmission electron microscope.The pathological changes of the trabecular bone of the tibia and the lumbar were observed under optical microscope,the percentage of trabecular area (％Tb.Ar) was measured with Image-Pro Plus (IPP) software.Results Bone fluoride contents of low,middle and high fluoride groups [(1 828.62 ± 102.93),(3 308.27 ± 185.63),(4 933.36 ± 301.16) mg/kg] were higher than that of the control group [(775.23 ± 92.56) mg/kg,all P ＜ 0.05].The incidences of dental fluorosis in the 4 groups were 0(0/16),47％(7/15),93％(14/15) and 100％(16/16),respectively;the difference was statistically significant (x2 =27.23,P ＜ 0.05).In middle and high fluoride groups,serum AKP [(18.30 ± 1.99),(24.50 ± 3.14) king unit/100 ml] and ACP [(11.97 ± 1.73),(11.31 ± 1.46) king unit/100 ml] were significantly higher than those of control [(14.63 ± 1.21),(9.07 ± 1.47) king unit/100 ml,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05].Under the electron microscope,osteoblast had developed organelles in each fluoride group,rough endoplasmic reticulum,Golgi body,and mitochondria were abundant,and nucleolus was obvious in the osteoblast.Osteoclast was rich in mitochondria,ruffled border clear and distributed phagocytic vacuoles in low fluoride group and middle fluoride group.Compared with the control group (17.03 ± 3.73),HE staining of tibia ％Tb.Ar in high fluoride group (28.79 ± 8.26) was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).The lumbar spine ％Tb.Ar in low,middle and high fluoride groups (15.87 ± 2.59,18.28 ± 0.89,21.99 ± 1.81) were higher than that of the control group (12.06 ± 1.76,all P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions BALB/c mice could be used as a model of skeletal fluorosis.Osteoblast and osteoclast are activated in BALB/c mice with skeletal fluorosis.Bone formation is more obvious than bone resorption and bone mass is increased.What is more,bone mass has increased more significantly in the lumbar spine of mice.

BACKGROUND: Neuropeptides, a kind of endogenous active substance in nerve tissues, can modulate physiological functions of multiple body systems.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of vascular bundles or sensory nerve tracts implanted into tissue-engineered bone for rabbit large bone defects on the expression levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and neuropeptide-Y.METHODS: Fifty-four New Zealand rabbits were enrolled to make model of large bone defects, and then, the animal models were randomly divided into three groups, including sensory nerve tract, vascular bundle, and control groups (n=18 per group), followed by implanted with sensory nerve tracts, vascular bundle, and tissue-engineered bone without sensory tracts or vascular bundle, respectively. The defected bone received gross and Masson staining at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after modeling, to compare the expression levels of CGRP and neuropeptide-Y in each group.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: mRNA expression levels of CGRP and neuropeptide-Y in the sensory nerve tract and vascular bundle groups were significantly higher than those in the control group at different time points after modeling (P < 0.05). mRNA expression levels of CGRP and neuropeptide-Y in the tissue-engineered bone began to be increased and peaked at the 8th week, and then decreased (P < 0.05), which were the lowest at the 4th week (P < 0.05).Immunohistochemical staining results showed that CGRP was mainly found in the bridge, periosteum of newly born bones and around blood vessels; while neuropeptide-Y mainly localized in the medullary cavity and around blood vessels. These results indicate that the implantation of vascular bundle and sensory nerve tracts for bone defects can upregulate the expression levels of CGRP and neuropeptide-Y, and promote bone repair. However, sensory tract implantation may cause sensory impairment; thereafter, vascular bundle implantation is more suitable for ideal tissue-engineered construction to meet physical requirements.
