Objective: To compare the effects of height-desk-chair matching on the viewing distance of primary school students before and after intervention, so as to provide scientific basis for the hygiene management of desks and chairs. Methods: From April to June 2025, a random cluster sampling method was used to select 141 third grade students from three classes equipped with adjustable desks and chairs in a primary school in Hefei City for a height-desk-chair matching intervention study. The height of students desks and chairs was adjusted according to the standard height and height range specified in the Functional Sizes and Technical Requirements of Chairs and Tables for Educational Institutions (GB/T 3976-2014), with an intervention period of one week. Before and after the intervention, eye use data were measured by using the electronic smart device "Cloud Clip", while collecting data on vision data viewing distance, time spent using eyes at close range and outdoor time, desk and chair height, and physical examination. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate the factors related to viewing distance before the intervention of height-desk-chair matching, and a paired t-test was used to analyze the difference in viewing distance before and after the intervention. A mixed effects model was used to explore the effect of height desk and chair adaptation intervention on viewing distance. Results: The compliance rates for desk and chair adjustments before and after the intervention were 1.4% and 18.4%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=22.84, P <0.01). The viewing distance increased from (30.48±5.01) cm before intervention to (32.06±5.75) cm post intervention, with a statistically significant difference ( t=4.57, P <0.01). The proportion of students meeting the viewing distance standard increased from 33.3% to 51.1%. The linear mixedeffects model results indicated that the association between height appropriate desk and chair interventions and viewing distance was statistically significant, regardless of whether covariates such as time spent using eyes at close range and outdoor time were adjusted ( β=-1.58, 95%CI = -2.25 to -0.91; β=-1.14, 95%CI =-1.85 to -0.43, both P <0.05). Conclusion Height adjusted desks and chairs, which can effectively increase the viewing distance for primary school students, has positive implications for improving healthy eye care behaviors among children and adolescents.

Objective: To explore the association of outdoor activity time and sleep duration with screening myopia in primary school students, so as to provide strategies for myopia prevention. Methods: Through a convenience sampling method, a survey was conducted among 4 248 primary school students aged 7-13 years from three primary schools in Xihu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province from May to July, 2023. The average daily outdoor activity time and sleep duration on both weekdays and weekends were investigated in primary school students by using a self designed questionnaire. Uncorrected visual acuity tests and non cycloplegic autorefraction were measured by professional optometrists. Inter group comparisons were conducted using the Chi square test. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of outdoor activity time and sleep duration with screening myopia. Results: The detection rate of screening myopia in primary school students was 33.6%, with the rate in boys (32.0%) lower than that in girls (35.3%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=5.11, P =0.02). The analysis results of Logistic regression showed that after adjusting for factors such as gender, grade and parental education level, both average daily outdoor activity time ＜2 h on both weekdays and weekends ( OR =1.27, 95% CI =1.11-1.46) and sleep duration <10 h ( OR =1.17, 95% CI =1.01- 1.35 ), as well as their combined effect ( OR =1.57, 95% CI =1.25-1.98), were associated with an increased risk of screening myopia in primary school students(all P <0.05). Subgroup analysis results indicated that compared to boys ( OR =1.46, 95% CI = 1.07 -1.99), girls( OR =1.73, 95% CI =1.22-2.44) with insufficient outdoor activity time and sleep duration had a higher risk of screening myopia(both P <0.05). Conclusions There is a negative correlation of outdoor activity time and sleep duration with screening myopia in primary school students. Outdoor activity time and extending sleep duration should be increased to reduce the risk of myopia in primary school students.

Comprehensive occupational hazard risk assessment in employers is a core component of the pilot program for occupational health classification supervision and law enforcement. The quality and effectiveness of classification-based supervision are directly affected by both the assessment process and its outcomes. However, several issues have emerged since the implementation of the pilot program on the comprehensive risk assessment, including an excessive number of self-assessment items, lack of implementation basis for certain self-assessment items, misinterpretation for certain self-assessment items, inconsistencies between evaluation criteria and existing standards, incomplete implementation of some items, omission of comprehensive risk assessment elements, unclear definitions of key industries and key occupational hazards, and inconvenient assessment procedures on comprehensive risk assessment. To enhance the applicability, accuracy, and objectivity of the comprehensive risk assessments conducted by employers, it is recommended to optimize self-assessment items, standardize risk assessment content, tailor comprehensive risk assessments to actual workplace conditions, refine the identification of key industries and key occupational hazards, improve comprehensive risk assessment methodologies, and establish clear grading rules for the comprehensive risk assessment.

Abstract The etiology and pathogenesis of myopia among children and adolescents remain unclear. As crucial regulatory mediators in the body, inflammatory cytokines have drawn increasing attention for their potential role in the onset and progression of myopia. The study examines the relationship between systemic inflammation and intraocular inflammation and myopia, explores the inflammatory mechanisms underlying myopia development, and discusses intervention strategies targeting related signaling pathways for myopia treatment. It aims to provide new insights for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents.

Objective: To analyze the association of participation in non-sports extracurricular tutoring classes with the prevalence of screening myopia, axial length (AL) and axial length to corneal radius ratio (AL/CR) among primary school students, so as to provide evidences for formulating myopia prevention and control policies. Methods: In December 2024, combination of convenience and cluster sampling method was used to select 2 273 students from two primary schools in Hefei City, Anhui Province. Ophthalmic examinations and questionnaire surveys were conducted to obtain information on myopia, AL, AL/CR and participation in various types of extracurricular tutoring. A binary Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between non-sports tutoring and screening myopia, and multiple linear regression models were used to examine the associations between non-sports tutoring and AL and AL/CR. Results: Among the surveyed students, the participation rate in non-sports extracurricular tutoring classes was 64.9% , and the overall prevalence of screening myopia was 39.1%. The average AL and AL/CR were (23.60± 1.01 ) mm and (3.00±0.12), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that students who attended non-sports, music, or academic tutoring classes for ≥2 h per week had higher risks of screening myopia and greater AL/CR values than non-participants (screening myopia: OR =1.38, 1.82, 1.55; AL/CR: β =0.01, 0.03, 0.03; all P <0.05). After adjusting for sex, grade, and participation in sports tutoring, multivariate analysis indicated that participation in non-sports and musical instrument tutoring classes for ≥2 h per week remained significantly associated with higher risks of screening myopia ( OR =1.26, 1.49, both P <0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that participation in musical instrument tutoring for ≥2 h per week was positively correlated with AL ( β=0.14, P < 0.05). Conclusions Participation in non-sports extracurricular tutoring is common among primary school students. Attending non-sports tutoring classes for ≥2 h per week increases the risk of screening myopia.

Although cancer immunotherapy has made great strides in the clinic, it is still hindered by the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME). The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway which can modulate TIME effectively has emerged as a promising therapeutic recently. However, the delivery of most STING agonists, specifically cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs), is performed intratumorally due to their insufficient pharmacological properties, such as weak permeability across cell membranes and vulnerability to nuclease degradation. To expand the clinical applicability of CDNs, a novel pH-sensitive polycationic polymer-modified lipid nanoparticle (LNP-B) system was developed for intravenous delivery of CDNs. LNP-B significantly extended the circulation of CDNs and enhanced the accumulation of CDNs within the tumor, spleen, and tumor-draining lymph nodes compared with free CDNs thereby triggering the STING pathway of dendritic cells and repolarizing pro-tumor macrophages. These events subsequently gave rise to potent anti-tumor immune reactions and substantial inhibition of tumors in CT26 colon cancer-bearing mouse models. In addition, due to the acid-sensitive property of the polycationic polymer, the delivery system of LNP-B was more biocompatible and safer compared with lipid nanoparticles formulated with an indissociable cationic DOTAP (LNP-D). These findings suggest that LNP-B has great potential in the intravenous delivery of CDNs for tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the nutritional quality characteristics of vitamin D3-fortified yogurt and explore its improving effect on vitamin D metabolism in the body under simulated weightlessness,thereby providing a theoretical basis for the development of functional foods.Methods Using reconstituted milk as the matrix and Vitamin D3(VD3)microcapsule powder as the fortifier,VD3-fortified yogurt was prepared.A systematic study was conducted to investigate the effects of different gradients(1.25 μg/100 mL,2.50 μg/100 mL,3.75 μg/100 mL,5.00 μg/100 mL,6.25 μg/100 mL)of VD3 microcapsule addition on its quality characteristics(titratable acidity,solid content,water-holding capacity,syneresis).In vivo assessments were conducted using a Sprague-Dawley(SD)rat tail-suspension model to simulate weightlessness.Levels in serum 25(OH)D3,1,25-(OH)2D3,calcium(Ca),and phosphorus(P)were detected using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)to evaluate its metabolic capacity.Results During fermentation(3 h),titratable acidity of VD?-fortified yogurt initially increased,then decreased,and eventually stabilized with rising microcapsule dosage,while total solid content remained consistent.WHC exhibited an initial increase followed by a decline,whereas syneresis showed an inverse trend.At an optimal dosage of 3.75 μg/100 mL,the yogurt displayed a dense and uniform network structure,characterized by non-Newtonian fluid behavior with shear-thinning properties.This formulation demonstrated robust structural stability under high-frequency mechanical stress,alongside desirable textural,flavor,and sensory attributes.Animal experiments revealed that the serum concentrations of 25(OH)D3,1,25-(OH)2D3,calcium,and phosphorus in the vitamin D?-fortified yogurt intervention group were significantly higher than those in the tail-suspended control group(P<0.05).Conclusion VD? microencapsulation technology effectively preserves and enhances the nutritional quality characteristics of yogurt and mitigates vitamin D metabolic dysregulation under simulated weightlessness.

Objective: To analyze the effects of outdoor activities, sedentary behaviors and sleep duration on the risk of poor vision among primary and secondary school students after replacing them with each other, so as to provide a reference for precise intervention in the prevention and control of myopia among children and adolescents. Methods: From March to May 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 6 132 students in grades 4 to 12 in Hefei, Wuhu, Suzhou and Chizhou cities in Anhui Province. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the basic information, outdoor activities, sedentary behavior, and sleep duration, and a visual inspection was carried out by 5 m standard logarithmic visual acuity chart. The single activity model, segmentation model and isotemporal substitution model were used to analyze the relationship between outdoor activities, sedentary behaviors, sleep, and poor vision, and stratified analysis was performed by gender. Results: The detection rate of poor vision among the 6 132 primary and secondary school students was 76.9%, and the detection rate of poor vision was higher for girls ( 81.1 %) than for boys (72.6%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=61.37, P <0.01). The results of the single activity model and segmentation model showed that outdoor activity and sleep duration were correlated with a reduced risk of poor vision in primary and secondary school students ( OR =0.87, 0.88; 0.88, 0.91), while sedentary behavior was correlated with an increased risk of poor vision ( OR =1.05, 1.03) ( P <0.05). The results of the isotemporal substitution model showed that replacing the same amount of sedentary behavior with 1 h/d of outdoor activity was associated with 15% reduction in the risk of poor vision ( OR = 0.85), and replacing the same amount of sedentary behavior with 1 h/d of sleep was associated with a 12% reduction in the risk of poor vision ( OR =0.88) ( P <0.05). The results of the isotemporal substitution model stratified by gender showed that replacing the same amount of sedentary behavior with 1 h/d of outdoor activity and 1 h/d of sleep were associated with 22% and 8% reduction in the risk of poor vision in male students ( OR =0.78, 0.92), and replacing the same amount of sedentary behavior with 1 h/d of sleep was associated with 18% reduction in the risk of poor vision in female students ( OR =0.82) ( P <0.05). Conclusion Replacing sedentary behavior with 1 h/d of outdoor activity for boys and 1 h/d of sleep for girls and boys could reduce the risk of poor vision.

Objective: The study aims to analyze the prevalence and associated factors of myopia among 4 to 9 grade students in Guangdong Province in 2022, so as to provide a scientific basis for targeted intervention measures for myopia in children and adolescents. Methods: From September to October 2022, stratified cluster random sampling was used to select 29 095 of 4 to 9 grade students from Guangzhou, Jiangmen, and Meizhou in Guangdong Province for myopia screening and questionnaire surveys. The Chisquare test was applied to compare the differences between groups, and multivariable Logistic stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze factors associated with myopia. Results: The myopia detection rate of 4 to 9 grade students was 61.7%, with detection rates of 51.5% for 4 to 6 grade primary school students and 71.95% for 7 to 9 grade junior high school students. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that higher myopia rates were detected among girls (OR=1.39, 95%CI=1.30-1.49), students with one (OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.69-1.96) or both parents having myopia (OR=2.86, 95%CI=2.56-3.18), and indoor sedentary time >6 h(OR=1.28, 95%CI=1.17-1.39) in the 4 to 6 grade. Lower myopia rates were detected in the county (OR=0.92, 95%CI=0.86-0.99) and outdoors at recess activities (OR=0.88, 95%CI=0.81-0.95). Meanwhile, higher myopia rates were detected among girls (OR=1.84, 95%CI=1.69-1.99), students with one (OR=1.87, 95%CI=1.71-2.04) or both parents having myopia (OR=3.03, 95%CI=2.63-3.50), and indoor sedentary time >6 h/d (OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.01-1.23) in the 7 to 9 grade. Lower myopia rates were detected in the county (OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.68-0.80), outdoors at recess activities (OR=0.83, 95%CI=0.76-0.91), and outdoor activity time ≥2 h/d(OR=0.87, 95%CI=0.80-0.95)(P<0.05). Conclusions The detection rate of myopia among 4 to 9 grade students in Guangdong Province is relatively high. Place of recess activities, daily outdoor activity and indoor sedentary duration are associated with myopia. Therefore, targeted intervention measures should be adopted, such as appropriately increasing outdoor activity to reduce the occurrence of myopia among primary and middle school students.

Objective: To explore two visual acuity standards for examining uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) to define poor vision in lower grade elementary school students, and to compare the difference of screening myopia rates when combined with non cycloplegic auto refraction (NCAR), so as to provide a scientific basis for standardizing UCVA examination methods using CAR as the gold standard of authenticity and reliability. Methods: From March 22nd to April 9th, 2023, a total of 549 first and second grade students aged 7-8 years from a primary school in Hefei City were selected for the study by convenient cluster sampling method. Two methods were employed for UCVA examination:the first method involved charts where the student could not make mistakes in identifying at least half of the characters per line (V1), and the second method used charts with character sizes ranging from 4.0 -4.5, 4.6-5.0 and 5.1-5.3, without allowing 1, 2 and 3 errors per line (V2). While NCAR was performed, then 187 students underwent CAR examination. Paired Wilcoxon rank-sum test and McNemar test were used to compare the differences between V1 and V2 methods in defining poor vision and screening myopia rates. Using CAR as the gold standard, the authenticity and reliability of defining screening myopia rates through the combination of V1 and V2 methods along with NCAR were evaluated. Results: The UCVA examination results for V1 and V2 showed statistically significant differences in both the right eye [5.0(4.9,5.0), 4.9(4.8,5.0)] and the left eye [ 5.0 (4.9,5.0), 4.9(4.8,5.0)] ( Z=-13.95, -13.34, P <0.01). The detection rates of poor vision for the right eye were 43.53% for V1 and 63.21% for V2, and the left eye with 44.08% for V1 and 62.11% for V2, with statistically significant differences ( χ 2= 106.01 , 95.09, P <0.01). When screening myopia rates were assessed for UCNA methods combined with NCAR, the right eye rates were 21.49% for V1 and 24.59% for V2, and the left eye rates were 21.31% for V1 and 23.13% for V2, with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=15.06, 8.10, P <0.01). Using CAR as the gold standard, the detection rates in the right eye and left eye were 16.58 % and 17.11%, respectively. The Youden indices for defining screening myopia in the right eye were 0.80 for V1 and 0.79 for V2, and the left eye with 0.85 for V1 and 0.83 for V2. The agreement rates for the right eye were 91.98 % for V1 and 89.30% for V2, and the left eye with 94.12% for V1 and 91.98% for V2. The Kappa values for the right eye were 0.73 for V1 and 0.67 for V2, and the left eye with 0.81 for V1 and 0.75 for V2. Conclusions Authenticity and reliability of two UCVA examination methods combined with NCAR in defining screening myopia are higher in V1 than V2 methods. It is recommended to unify the visual acuity examination methods by requiring the correct identification of more than half of the total number of visual markers in a row.
