Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(7):1031-1035
Objective:
To investigate the current status of hyperopic reserve among preschool children and to determine the associations with genetic and behavioral factors, so as to provide evidence for early intervention strategies and the development of working protocols for myopia prevention with a forward shift of the prevention threshold.
Methods:
A total of 924 preschool children (3-6 years of age) from 6 kindergartens in Jiading District of Shanghai were enrolled by stratified random sampling from March to June 2024. Cycloplegic refraction using 1% atropine eye drops was performed to obtain accurate spherical equivalent (SE) values. Questionnaires were used to collect the genetic history and daily behavioral habits of the children. Refractive status was classified into three categories based on the SE:sufficient hyperopic reserve, relatively insufficient hyperopic reserve, and pre myopia.
Results:
The overall detection rate of insufficient hyperopic reserve among preschool children was 82.25%, consisting of 72.29% for relatively insufficient hyperopic reserve and 9.96% for pre myopia. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that parental bilateral myopia was independently and positively associated with relatively insufficient hyperopic reserve ( OR =2.13) and pre myopia ( OR =4.35) compared to children with sufficient hyperopic reserve; electronic screen exposure time ≥2 h/d on school days was an independent and positive risk factor for pre myopia ( OR =2.83); all of the above associations were statistically significant (all P <0.05). No statistically significant association was noted between outdoor activity and hyperopic reserve (all P >0.05).
Conclusions
The insufficient hyperopic reserve detection rate is relatively high among preschool children in Jiading District, Shanghai. Early management of electronic device use with regular screening and monitoring for preschool children with a family history of myopia should be strengthened to shift the prevention threshold earlier and prevent childhood myopia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of polydatin in delaying the progression of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) by constructing an azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced CAC mouse model and conducting in vitro experiments. MethodsFifty-four male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal, model, and polydatin groups (0.045 g·kg-1). The CAC mouse model was established using AOM/DSS, and samples were collected at 4, 7, and 10 weeks. Body weight change rate, disease activity index (DAI), and tumor formation were assessed. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe pathological injury in intestinal tissues. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to detect zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) expression in colonic tissues, and Western blot was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin in colonic epithelial cells. Real-time PCR was used to measure mRNA expression of interleukin-17A (IL-17A), Wnt3a, β-catenin, T cell factor 1 (Tcf1), E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin in colonic tissues. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion of CD8+T cells and the expression of exhaustion-related molecules in tumors. Human colon cancer DLD-1 cells were cultured in a polydatin-containing medium, and wound healing assays were performed to observe migration changes. Real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA), Wnt3a, β-catenin, Tcf1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin in DLD-1 cells. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group at all three time points showed significantly decreased body weight change rate (P<0.01), significantly shortened colon length (P<0.01), and markedly increased DAI scores (P<0.01). HE staining revealed significant inflammatory cell infiltration in the submucosa of the colon in the model group, accompanied by epithelial dysplasia. ZO-1 expression in colonic tissues was significantly reduced (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory factor IL-17A and key molecules of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway (Wnt3a, β-catenin, Tcf1) was significantly elevated (P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers N-cadherin and Vimentin was significantly upregulated (P<0.05), while E-cadherin expression was significantly downregulated (P<0.05). The proportion of tumor-infiltrating CD8+T cells expressing immunosuppressive molecules (TIM-3, LAG-3, PD-1) was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the polydatin group showed significant improvement in body weight and DAI score (P<0.01), as well as recovery of colon length and tissue injury. ZO-1 expression in colonic tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01), while IL-17A, Wnt3a, β-catenin, Tcf1, N-cadherin, and Vimentin expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and E-cadherin expression was significantly increased (P<0.01). Tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells expressing immunosuppressive molecules were significantly reduced (P<0.05). In vitro experiments showed that polydatin significantly inhibited migration of DLD-1 cells (P<0.01) and reversed the upregulation of IL-17RA, Wnt3a, β-catenin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin mRNA, as well as the downregulation of E-cadherin mRNA (P<0.05). ConclusionPolydatin inhibits IL-17A secretion and IL-17RA expression, improves the immune microenvironment, blocks activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, suppresses EMT markers (N-cadherin and Vimentin), and restores tight junction protein expression in intestinal epithelial cells, thereby delaying the progression from colitis to colorectal cancer in mice.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of the 4 most common functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) among school-aged children in Shanghai.Methods:A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted from January to December 2019. Using stratified cluster sampling, 26 097 students in grades 1-12 from Huangpu and Jiading District, Shanghai were enrolled. The questionnaire of pediatric gastrointestinal symptoms-Rome Ⅳ (QPGS-Ⅳ) and the pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL) were used to assess the prevalence and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional abdominal pain-not otherwise specified (FAP-NOS), and functional constipation (FC). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify correlations between sociodemographic factors, lifestyle habits, comorbidities and 4 major FGID. A trend chi-square test was used to explore the relationship between HRQoL scores and FGID prevalence.Results:A total of 26 097 valid participants (26 097/27 036, 96.5%) were included in the study, with the age of (10.8±3.1) years and 12 441 cases (47.7%) were female. The prevalence of FC was found to be the highest (5 537 cases, 21.2%), followed by IBS (797 cases, 3.1%), FAP-NOS (267 cases, 1.0%) and FD (218 cases, 0.8%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed the following findings: junior high school (FD: OR=1.88 (95% CI 1.35-2.61); IBS: OR=1.42 (95% CI 1.18-1.71); FAP-NOS: OR=1.39 (95% CI 1.02-1.90)), senior high school (FD: OR=2.67 (95% CI 1.84-3.86);IBS: OR=2.36 (95% CI 1.93-2.89) ;FAP-NOS: OR=2.20 (95% CI 1.56-3.11)) and frequent respiratory infections (FD: OR=2.15 (95% CI 1.45-3.18); IBS: OR=2.59 (95% CI 2.12-3.16); FAP-NOS: OR=1.49 (95% CI 1.00-2.21)) were common risk factors for FD, IBS and FAP-NOS. Allergic symptoms (FD: OR=2.21 (95% CI 1.56-3.14); IBS: OR=2.30 (95% CI 1.04-1.51); FAP-NOS: OR=2.54 (95% CI 1.85-3.50); FC: OR=1.09 (95% CI 1.01-1.17)) was a common risk factor for FD, IBS, FAP-NOS and FC. Family history of allergy was a risk factor for IBS ( OR=1.41 (95% CI 1.20-1.65)) and FAP-NOS ( OR=1.33 (95% CI 1.01-1.74)). Female exhibited increased risks for FD ( OR=1.49 (95% CI 1.13-1.96)), IBS ( OR=1.50 (95% CI 1.30-1.74)) and FC ( OR=1.10 (95% CI 1.03-1.17)). The presence of dietary bias was associated with of IBS ( OR=1.46 (95% CI 1.26-1.69)) and FC ( OR=1.26 (95% CI 1.19-1.34)); late bedtime ( OR=1.32 (95% CI 1.06-1.64)) and allergen exposure ( OR=1.25 (95% CI 1.04-1.51)) were risk factors for IBS. Insufficient sleep ( OR=1.11 (95% CI 1.02-1.21)), insufficient outdoor time ( OR=1.20 (95% CI 1.01-1.43)) and severe lack of outdoor time ( OR=1.48 (95% CI 1.23-1.76)) were significant risk factors for FC. Pet ownership ( OR=1.39 (95% CI 1.07-1.81)) was a risk factor for FAP-NOS. HRQoL scores were significantly lower in children with FD, IBS, or FAP-NOS compared to non-FGID peers (all P<0.05). χ2 trend test analysis showed that the Pearson correlation coefficients between the prevalence of FD, IBS, FAP-NOS, FC and HRQoL scores were -0.93, -0.93, -0.97 and -0.84, respectively. Conclusions:The prevalence of FGID among school-aged children in Shanghai varies by sub-type. FC was the most prevalence. Junior and senior high school, female sex, allergic symptoms and frequent respiratory infections were major risk factors. Meanwhile, dietary bias, late bedtime, insufficient outdoor time and pet ownership were associated with specific subtypes. The HRQoL is significantly reduced in children with FD, IBS and FAP-NOS.

Objective:To investigate the antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and to evaluate the eradication efficacy of individualized treatment for Hp in children. Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 227 children who visited the Department of Gastroenterology, Capital Center for Children′s Health, Capital Medical University from June 2022 to December 2023 due to gastrointestinal symptoms. All patients underwent gastroscopy and tested positive on 13C-urea breath testing. They were grouqed according to the Hp culture and drug susceptibility test. Children with positive Hp culture received personalized treatment based on the results of their drug sensitivity tests, while the other children who didn′t undergo Hp culture received empirical treatment. The effects of different treatment groups was compared by chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test. Results:A total of 227 children with Hp infection (121 males and 106 females) were included, with the age of 11.7 (8.9, 13.6) years. Among the 131 samples submitted for testing, 105 cases (80.1%) had positive results. Only 9.5% (10/105) of patients were sensitive to 6 antibiotics. The resistance rates to clarithromycin, metronidazole and levofloxacin were 90.5% (95/105), 86.7% (91/105) and 22.9% (24/105) respectively. The resistance rate to both clarithromycin and metronidazole was 77.1% (81/105). The resistance rate to both levofloxacin and metronidazole was 19.0% (20/105). The resistance rate to both levofloxacin and clarithromycin was 21.9% (23/105). The resistance rate to these three antibiotics was 16.2% (17/105). No strains resistant to furazolidone, amoxicillin or tetracycline hydrochloride were found. Eighty-nine cases were treated with bismuth quadruple therapy based on the drug sensitivity results, and the overall eradication rate was 88.8% (79/89), including 42 treatment-naive cases with a 100% eradication rate (42/42) and 47 retreatment cases with a 78.7% eradication rate (37/47). The eradication rate of empirical treatment was 75.7% (56/74). Among them, 65 patients received amoxicillin, clarithromycin and omeprazole because of negative penicillin skin tests, with a 75.4% (49/65) eradication rate; 9 patients received clarithromycin, metronidazole, omeprazole and bismuth with positive penicillin skin tests, achieving 7/9 eradication rate. The comparison of eradication rates between two treatment groups suggested a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found in drug reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and rash between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Hp strains had a relatively high dual resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole, especially clarithromycin. For areas with a high resistance rate to clarithromycin, the bismuth quadruplet of clarithromycin removal combined with bismuth agent can be chosen as empirical treatment. In medical institutions where drug susceptibility test can be conducted, personalized treatment plans are recommended as the first-line treatment.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of active pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary tuberculosis) in Xi'an from 2013 to 2023 and predict the incidence trend of pulmonary tuberculosis in Xi'an by using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) product seasonal models to provide a decision-making basis for tuberculosis prevention and control.Methods:The incidence data of pulmonary tuberculosis reported in Xi'an from 2013 to 2023 were collected through the Tuberculosis Information Management System of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The Excel 2016 software was used for descriptive statistical analysis of pulmonary tuberculosis incidence data reported in Xi'an from 2013 to 2023. The SPSS 20.0 software was used to establish an ARIMA product seasonal model to predict the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Xi'an.Results:A total of 49 860 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were reported in Xi'an from 2013 to 2023, with an annual average incidence of 45.60/100 000. The incidence showed a downward trend in the past decade. The incidence was high in spring, with a peak from March to May, a small peak from November to January, and a low incidence in February and October. The annual average incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in 2 suburban counties (52.80/100 000) was higher than that in 14 urban areas (43.21/100 000) ( χ2=20.19, P<0.001). With the increase of age, the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was higher, and the incidence of the males was higher than that of female ( χ2=378.34, P<0.001), the ratio of male to female incidence was 1.73∶1. The most occupation of the population was farmers, accounting for 46.54%. The established ARIMA (0, 1, 1) (1, 1, 1) 12 product seasonal model exhibited a good prediction effect, with the Bayesian Information Criterion being -1.567, the root mean square error being 0.42, and the mean absolute percentage error being 9.62. The average relative error between the actual value and the predicted value was 6.63%, and the 95% CI of the predicted value included the actual value. Conclusions:2013-2023, the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Xi'an has been on the decline as a whole. Special attention should be paid to the prevention and control of tuberculosis in districts (counties) adjacent to mountainous areas in the south, people aged 60 years and above, and farmers and other vulnerable groups. The established ARIMA (0, 1, 1) (1, 1, 1) 12 product seasonal model exhibited a good predictive effect and can be applied to the short-term prediction of tuberculosis incidence.

Objective:To identify the change trajectory of intrinsic capacity in people aged ≥50 years in Shanghai and explore the impact of intrinsic capacity trajectory change on overall function and dalily life activities in this population.Methods:The longitudinal data from round 1 to 3 Study of Global Ageing and Adult Health in Shanghai were used. The total intrinsic ability scores from five dimensions of cognition, psychology, sensory, vitality and locomotion were calculated. The censored normal model of group-based trajectory was used to identify the trajectory of intrinsic capacity change over time. Linear regression model and multivariate logistic regression model were used to analyse the effects of different levels intrinsic capacity trajectory on the scores of the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), the activity of daily living (ADL) and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).Results:A total of 2 302 study participants aged ≥50 years with 3 round complete data were included in this study, and 3 levels of intrinsic capacity trajectory were identified, low-level trajectory (9.3%), medium-level trajectory (41.7%), and high-level trajectory (49.0%). Compared with the high-level group, the medium-level and low-level groups had higher WHODAS scores, which increased by 3.578 (95% CI: 2.028-5.129) and 12.620 (95% CI: 9.951-15.289), respectively, and those with more severe disability and those in the low-level group were at higher risk for severe difficulty in ADLs ( OR=12.450, 95% CI: 4.310-35.966) and IADLs ( OR=5.479, 95% CI: 1.311-22.904). Conclusions:Heterogeneity in trajectory of intrinsic capacity exists in people aged ≥50 years in Shanghai. Middle-aged and elderly people with low initial level and rapid decline trajectory of intrinsic capacity are at greater risk for the decline of daily life ability and the increase of disability. It is necessary to strengthen the long-term dynamic monitoring and evaluation of the change trajectory of intrinsic capacity in this population.

Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics of monogenic and non-monogenic early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (EO-IBD) in children and to explore the necessity of genetic analysis in EO-IBD research.Methods:A retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted on 73 children diagnosed with EO-IBD at the Children's Hospital affiliated with Capital Institute of Pediatrics between January 2017 and December 2023. Genetic analysis was performed utilizing next-generation sequencing technology, with patients stratified into monogenic and non-monogenic groups based on the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of clinical characteristics was conducted between these two cohorts of EO-IBD patients.Results:Among the 73 EO-IBD cases, 27 (37%) were diagnosed as monogenic IBD, and 46 (63%) as non-monogenic IBD. Compared to the non-monogenic group, the monogenic group had an earlier age of onset [1 (0.2, 3.0) months vs. 15 (4.1, 51.3) months, P < 0.001], with a higher incidence within the first month of life (70.4% vs. 13.0%, P < 0.001). Monogenic IBD cases were more likely to present with Crohn's disease (CD) phenotypes (88.9% vs. 52.2%, P = 0.003) and colonic involvement (L2) (91.7% vs. 62.5%, P < 0.001), but were less likely to present with non-penetrating, non-stricturing (B1) disease (87.5% vs. 95.8%, P = 0.019). Children in the monogenic group were more prone to severe malnutrition (74.1% vs. 21.3%, P < 0.001), perianal abscesses (40.7% vs. 8.7%, P < 0.001), perianal tags (22.2% vs. 0%, P = 0.004), fever (74.1% vs. 23.9%, P < 0.001), oral ulcers (44.4% vs. 6.5%, P < 0.001), and skin lesions (33.3% vs. 2.2%, P < 0.001). Regarding treatment, the monogenic group had higher usage of thalidomide (88.9% vs. 54.3%, P = 0.002) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (37.0% vs. 0, P < 0.001) and a higher mortality rate (22.2% vs. 2.2%, P = 0.017) . Conclusions:For children with IBD presenting at an early age, especially within the first month of life, and showing symptoms like fever, oral ulcers, skin lesions, severe malnutrition, and perianal disease, monogenic IBD should be considered. Genetic testing results can aid in guiding treatment decisions.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the stability of the pulse perfusion index(PI)value and Pulse oximetry(SpO2)alarms in monitor for neonates,so as to reduce the false alarm rate.Methods:A monitor with dual blood oxygen module(Module 1 and Module 2)was used to simultaneously monitor different parts of neonates.If both modules alarmed simultaneously,it was considered as a valid alarm.If only one module alarmed while the others was normal,it was considered as an invalid alarm.The PI values were classified into A,B and C categories based on the calculated variance of PI values.The distribution of valid alarms in the three categories was analyzed by using statistical method.The eighteen neonates who admitted to the neonatal department of Shanxi Children's Hospital from May11,2023 to May 19,2023 were monitored,with an average monitoring time of 7.3 hours for each case.The false alarm rates of the monitor with dual blood oxygen module were compared among categories A,B and C,as well as the correlations between different PI values and SpO2 alarms.Results:The times of monitored valid alarm of two non-invasive blood oxygen modules(Module 1 and Module 2)were 41 times,and the false alarm rates of categories A and C were significantly higher than that of category B.The times of categories A,B and C of the monitored PI values of Module 1 and Module 2 were respectively(6,34,1)and(8,30,3),which appeared weak correlation with the times of valid alarm of SpO2(r=0.230,0.259,P<0.05).The result of univariate binary logistic regression indicated PI value could not predict SpO2 alarms in SpO2 alarm.Conclusion:PI value can reflect the affected accuracy of SpO2 alarm when the data that are collected by prober are instability.The PI value that is collected by single SpO2 prober can indirectly reflect that the instable data of collection can affect the correctness of SpO2 alarm,while the simultaneous monitor of adopting monitor with dual oxygen module can improve the accuracy of SpO2 alarms in monitoring for neonates.

Objective:To understand the incidence rate of herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in Beijing, and analyze the incidence trend of HZ and PHN from 2015 to 2022.Methods:Cases of HZ and PHN from 2015 to 2022 were retrieved from the Hospital Information Systems (HIS) of all primary and above hospitals/clinics in three districts representing the urban, inner suburban, and outer suburban areas of Beijing. After duplication screening, the first visit cases were screened, and the incidence characteristics were described. The incidence rate of HZ and PHN in each year by sex and age group and the age-standardized incidence rate were calculated. The annual percentage increase (APC) of incidence rate was calculated using the Joint regression model, and the change trend was analyzed.Results:The age-standardized incidence rate of HZ in Beijing from 2015 to 2022 ranged from 7.44‰ to 10.05‰, with an average annual incidence rate of 8.95 ‰, significantly increasing with age ( P<0.001). The Joinpoint regression model showed that the overall age-standardized incidence of HZ remained relatively stable, with no significant difference (APC=2.28%, t=1.56, P=0.170). However, the incidence rate among the 0-19-year-old group exhibited a trend of decrease (APC=-10.70%, t=-6.29, P<0.001). For PHN, the age-standardized incidence in Beijing ranged from 0.77‰ to 2.67‰, with an average annual incidence rate of 1.59‰ and a proportion of 9.48% to 26.86% among HZ cases. Both the incidence of PHN and its proportion among HZ cases increased with age ( P<0.001). The age-standardized incidence of PHN increased annually (APC=18.56%, t=9.02, P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence rate of HZ and PHN in Beijing continues to be at a high level, and PHN shows an increasing trend over time.
