Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):18-23
Objective:
To analyze the status of outdoor activities on weekends among children and adolescents of different educational stages in Shanghai and their impact on myopia, so as to provide a basis for formulating more specific prevention and control protocol of myopia.
Methods:
From September to October 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 84 schools (27 kindergartens, 21 primary schools, 15 junior high schools and 21 high schools) across Shanghai, enrolling a total of 28 654 children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 for the study. Ophthalmic examinations were conducted to ascertain the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents. Additionally, a questionnaire survey was administered to collect data on outdoor activity duration and associated factors. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was utilized to investigate the associated factors of outdoor activity levels on weekends.
Results:
The overall myopia detection rate among children and adolescents was 58.4%, with a higher rate observed in girls (59.2%) compared to boys (57.6%). The myopia detection rates for children and adolescents with an average daily outdoor activity duration of ≥2 h and <2 h on weekends were 54.6% and 68.8%, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=8.12,460.89, P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis revealed that girls ( OR =0.80), those with a myopic parent ( OR =0.68), schools from urban districts ( OR =0.72), higher education stages (primary school: OR =0.65, junior high school: OR =0.24, high school: OR =0.14) and spending≥2 h/d on homework during weekends ( OR =0.57) among children and adolescents were less likely to engage in outdoor activities for ≥2 h on weekends ( P <0.01). After incorporating gender, parental myopia status, educational stage, school location, average daily duration on weekends for spending on homework, electronic product usage and outdoor activities as dependent variables in a multivariate Logistic regression analysis, the results showed that children and adolescents with an average outdoor activity duration for ≥2 h on weekends had a lower risk of myopia ( OR =0.86, P < 0.01).
Conclusions
The level of outdoor activity among children and adolescents on weekends needs to be improved. Outdoor activities on weekends is an associated factor for myopia among children and adolescents. Particularly, girls, those with myopic parents, schools from urban districts, and spending long hours on homework during weekends among children and adolescents require increased attention.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):24-28
Objective:
To investigate the visual acuity and correction conditions of children and adolescents in Shanghai, so as to provide a scientific basis for developing intervention measures to prevent myopia and protect vision among children and adolescents.
Methods:
From October to December 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling survey was conducted, involving 47 034 students from 16 municipal districts in Shanghai, covering kindergartens (≥5 years), primary schools, middle schools, general high schools and vocational high schools. According to the Guidelines for Screening Refractive Errors in Primary and Secondary School Students, the Standard Logarithmic Visual acuity Chart was used to examine naked vision and corrected vision of students, and general information was collected. The distribution and severity of visual impairment in different age groups were analyzed, and χ 2 tests and multivariate Logistic regression were used to explore factors associated with visual impairment.
Results:
The detection rate of visual impairment among children and adolescents was 76.2%, with a higher rate among females (78.8%) than males ( 73.8 %), higher among Han ethic students ( 76.2 %) than minority students (71.2%), and higher among urban students (76.7%) than suburban students (75.8%), all with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=162.6, 10.4, 5.5, P <0.05). The rate of visual impairment initially decreased and then increased with age, reaching its lowest at age 7 (53.8%) and peaking at age 17 (89.6%) ( χ 2 trend = 3 467.0 , P <0.05). Severe visual impairment accounted for the majority, at 56.6%, and there was a positive correlation between the severity of visual impairment and age among children and adolescents ( r =0.45, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that age, BMI, gender, ethnicity and urban suburban status were associated with visual impairment ( OR =1.18, 1.01, 1.38 , 0.79, 0.88, P <0.05). Among those with moderate to severe visual impairment, the rate of spectacle lens usage was 62.8%, yet only 44.8 % of those who used spectacle lens had fully corrected visual acuity. Females (64.9%) had higher spectacle lens usage rates than males (60.6%), and general high school students had the highest spectacle lens usage (83.9%), and there were statistically significant differences in gender and academic stages ( χ 2=57.7, 4 592.8, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The rate of spectacle lens usage among students with moderate to severe visual impairment is relatively low, and even after using spectacle lens, some students still do not achieve adequate corrected visual acuity. Efforts should focus on enhancing public awareness of eye health and refractive correction and improving the accessibility of related health services.

Objective:To investigate the correlations between physical, psychological and social frailty in elderly patients with multimorbidity.Methods:This study utilized a mixed method. A questionnaire survey was conducted from February to June 2024, among elderly patients with multimorbidity attending 4 primary health care centers in urban Beijing selected by the convenience sampling method. The FRAIL Frailty Assessment Scale, WHO-5 Index of Well-Being Scale, and HALFT Scale were used to assess the patients′ physical, psychological, and social frailty, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between different dimensions of frailty in elderly with multimorbidity. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing physical, psychological and social frailty. The elderly with multimorbidity who were assessed to have at least 1 or more types of frailty in the quantitative study were selected for in-depth interviews in the form of online and offline combination. The topics of in-depth interview included the real experience of the different dimensions of frailty, the possible causes and the difficulties caused. The sample size was determined according to the principle of information saturation. Thematic analysis was used to summarize, code and analyze the interview data.Results:A total of 919 participants were included in the quantitative study, with a mean age of (74.09±6.03) years, 329(35.80%) were males and 590(64.20%) were females. The prevalence of physical, psychological, and social frailty was 17.85%(164/919), 21.44%(197/919), 11.21%(103/919), respectively. A total of 21 participants were included in the qualitative study, with a mean age (76.90±5.13)years, 5(23.81%) males and 16(76.19%) females. Spearman correlation analysis showed that physical and psychological frailty were moderately correlated ( r=0.311, P<0.001), psychological and social frailty were weakly correlated ( r=0.218, P<0.001), and physical and social frailty were weakly correlated ( r=0.267, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the age, the number of multimorbidities, the psychological frailty and social frailty were the influencing factors for physical frailty (all P<0.05). The gender, number of multimorbidity, type of medication taken, physical frailty and social frailty were influencing factors of psychological frailty (all P<0.05). And age, number of multimorbidities, physical frailty and psychological frailty were influencing factors of social frailty (all P<0.05). A total of 3 themes were extracted through in-depth interviews, namely, "physical and psychological frailty are interrelated""physical and social frailty are interrelated", and "psychological and social frailty are interrelated". Conclusions:The physical, psychological, and social frailty in elderly patients with multimorbidity interacts with each other. Whereas the number of multimorbidities is a common risk factor for all three.

OBJECTIVE
To study the anti-ulcerative colitis(UC) effect of Sargentodoxae Caulis and explore its mechanism.
METHODS
The UC mice model induced by dextran sodium sulfate was used to evaluate the anti-UC effect of Sargentodoxae Caulis. The ingredients of Sargentodoxae Caulis were obtained according to the CNKI and PubMed website, component targets were screened by SwissTargetPrediction database, GEO gene chip was used to extract UC differential genes, then a network of "ingredients-targets-disease" of the Sargentodoxae Caulis was constructed. After screening the core targets, protein interaction and cluster analysis, biological process and pathway enrichment analysis were performed, and the reliability of network analysis was preliminarily verified by molecular docking and literatures.
RESULTS
Sargentodoxae Caulis could significantly improve the disease activity index score, colon shortening and colonic histopathological changes of UC mice, and had a good anti-UC effect. The network analysis found that the core components of the anti-UC of Sargentodoxae Caulis include (+)-Dihydroxyurearetic acid, Isorhaponigenin and Pinosylvin, and 63 core targets, such as EGFR, STAT1 and LCK, regulating PI3K-Akt signal pathway and cancer proteoglycan and other related signal pathways of immune anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer, and it could affect the biological processes such as amino acid modification, kinase activity regulation, cell reaction and oxidative stress to treat UC. Molecular docking and literature showed that the constructed network had high reliability.
CONCLUSION
Sargentodoxae Caulis has a good anti-UC effect, and its mechanism may be closely related to the regulation of intestinal immune inflammation and cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. It has the characteristics of multi-component, multi-target and multi-way.

Objective:To study the distribution and changes of dopamine transporter (DAT) in guinea pig eyes under different light patterns.Methods:Thirty-six 3-week-old white ordinary-grade guinea pigs were randomly selected and divided into groups of 10 000 lx, 5 000 lx, and 500 lx, with 12 guinea pigs in each group exposed to strong light, medium strong light, and normal light, respectively.Each group was randomly divided into 3 subgroups, with 4 guinea pigs in each subgroup.The 3 subgroups of 500 lx group received light exposure for 5, 20, and 40 minutes, respectively.The 3 subgroups of 5 000 lx group received light exposure for 2, 4, and 40 minutes, respectively.The 3 subgroups of 10 000 lx group received light exposure for 2, 5, and 20 minutes, respectively.After light treatment, each group of guinea pigs was injected with 99mTc-TRODAT-1 for SPECT DAT imaging, and image data were collected by Micro-SPECT.The region of interest (ROI) of guinea pig retinas was analyzed using Micro-CT software.The counts of ROI were expressed as Sum, which reflected the relative distribution or density of DAT.The DAT density between experimental and control eyes of guinea pigs after light exposure, the differences in DAT density between guinea pig eyes under different light intensities, the differences in DAT density between guinea pig eyes after different light durations, and the cumulative and interactive effects of light intensity and light duration on DAT aggregation in guinea pigs were compared.Another 3 guinea pigs were selected, and after light exposure, the 3 guinea pigs' eyes underwent continuous image acquisition for 6 hours at 20-minute intervals, and 18 images per guinea pig were acquired to analyze the trend of DAT density in guinea pig eyes over time.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanghai General Hospital (No.2020SQ196). Results:The DAT density (Sum value) of experimental eyes at 500, 5 000, and 10 000 lx were 5 598.97±3 159.38, 8 636.78±2 503.16, and 7 407.39±2 053.41, respectively, significantly higher than 4 388.89±2 902.90, 5 981.92±3 057.44, and 5 091.32±2 039.36 of control eyes ( t=5.31, 4.69, 11.80; all at P<0.001). At 500 lx, there was a statistically significant difference in DAT density between the experimental and control eyes of guinea pigs at different light exposure durations ( F=14.01, P<0.01), while no significant difference was found at other light intensities at different light exposure durations (both at P>0.05). When the light exposure time was 5 minutes, the difference in DAT density between the experimental and control eyes of guinea pigs was significantly greater in the 10 000 lx group than in the 500 lx group ( t=-13.22, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between different groups at other light exposure durations (all at P>0.05). No cumulative or interactive effects of light intensity and light duration were found on the differences in DAT density (all at P>0.05). Continuous scanning after illumination showed that DAT density in guinea pig retinas first increased to a peak over time and then gradually returned to normal values. Conclusions:Light, even under moderate or normal light levels, can cause an increase in the secretion of DAT in the retina and stimulate the production of DAT.Light intensity and duration have no cumulative or interactive effects on the distribution and density of retinal DAT.
