1.Expert recommendations on vision friendly built environments for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):1-5
Abstract
The prevention and control of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents has become a major public health issue. While maintaining increased outdoor activity as a cornerstone intervention, there is an urgent need to explore new complementary approaches that can be effectively implemented in both indoor and outdoor settings. In recent years, environmental spatial frequency has gained increasing attention as one of the key environmental factors influencing the development and progression of myopia. Both animal studies and human research have confirmed that indoor environments lacking mid to high spatial frequency components, often characterized as "visually impoverished", can promote axial elongation and myopia through mechanisms such as disruption of retinal neural signaling, impaired accommodative function, and altered expression of related molecules. Based on the scientific consensus, it is recommended that "enriching of environmental spatial frequency" should be integrated into the myopia prevention and control framework. Following the principles of schoolled organization, family cooperation, community involvement, and student participation, specific measures are put forward in three areas:optimizing school visual settings, improving home spatial environments, and promoting healthy visual behavior. The aim is to create "visually friendly" indoor environments as an important supplement to outdoor activity, thereby providing a novel perspective and strategy for comprehensively advancing myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the severity of intrauterine adhesions (IUA). MethodsThe retrospective study included 380 patients who underwent transcervical resection of adhesions (TCRA) from December 2019 to March 2025. Based on the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification, patients were divided into mild (n=61), moderate (n=225), and severe (n=94) groups. NLR, PLR, and SII were calculated from preoperative blood tests. Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis test and ordinal Logistic regression. ResultsNLR, PLR, and SII were significantly higher in the severe IUA group compared to the mild group (P<0.05), with SII showing the strongest predictive ability (OR=1.004, P=0.001). The number of intrauterine procedures was an independent risk factor (OR=1.27/level, P=0.016). The predictive model [Logit(P)=-0.676+0.241×operation times+0.004×SII] effectively identified severe IUA cases. ConclusionInflammatory markers (particularly SII) are correlated with IUA severity and may serve as non-invasive tools for clinical assessment.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of menopausal syndrome among postmenopausal women in Pan'an County, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for guiding the health management of postmenopausal women.
Methods:
From May 2023 to April 2024, the postmenopausal women aged 40 to 69 years in Pan'an County were selected using the random cluster sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle and prevalence of gynecological diseases were collected through questionnaire surveys. The prevalence of menopausal syndrome was assessed by modified Kupperman Score Scale. Factors affecting menopausal syndrome were analyzed by a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 816 postmenopausal women were surveyed, with an mean age of (57.63±2.92) years and a mean natural menopause age of (49.85±2.13) years. There were 574 cases with menopausal syndrome, with a prevalence of 70.34%. Flashes and sweating, insomnia and irritability were common symptoms, accounting for 62.87%, 47.43% and 41.18%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that monthly personal income of ≤5 000 yuan (<3 000 yuan, OR=3.124, 95%CI: 1.829-5.335; 3 000-5 000 yuan, OR=2.399, 95%CI: 1.370-4.201) and having gynecological diseases (OR=1.970, 95%CI: 1.292-3.004) were associated with a higher risk of menopausal syndrome, while average (OR=0.141, 95%CI: 0.072-0.276) or sufficient sleep quality (OR=0.095, 95%CI: 0.049-0.185) were associated with a lower risk of menopausal syndrome.
Conclusion
The prevalence of menopausal syndrome among postmenopausal women in Pan'an County is relatively high, and is mainly influenced by personal economic status, sleep quality and the presence of gynecological diseases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, auxiliary examinations, and genetic mutations of a patient with myotonia congenita (MC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and whole exome sequencing results of a patient who visited the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University on April 13, 2023, and her family members. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:The patient was a 30-year-old female who presented with muscle stiffness and transient weakness during the transition from rest to movement since childhood, which improved after repeated limb movements. With age, involvement of upper limb skeletal muscles, extraocular muscles, and masticatory muscles was noted. Electromyography (EMG) showed abundant myotonic potentials in the muscles of the limbs, and serum creatine kinase levels (586.80 IU/L) were elevated. Genetic testing revealed that the patient carried 2 mutations in the CLCN1 gene: a newly discovered single nucleotide deletion mutation c.1388del (p.Phe463SerfsTer4), and a known missense mutation c.1679T>C (p.Met560Thr). These mutations were present in a compound heterozygous state. The patient′s father carried the c.1388del single heterozygous mutation, while her mother, son, aunt, younger uncle, and grandmother carried the c.1679T>C single heterozygous mutation. Conclusions:MC is primarily characterized by muscle stiffness and transient weakness at the onset of movement, which improves after "warm-up". The proband in this pedigree exhibits typical MC symptoms, with significantly elevated creatine kinase levels and EMG revealing abundant myotonic potentials in the muscles of the limbs indicating myopathic damages. The new mutation c.1388del (p.Phe463SerfsTer4) in the CLCN1 gene further expands the spectrum of pathogenic mutations in the CLCN1 gene.

Objective:To explore the impact of health education based on individualized situation, background, assessment and recommendation (SBAR) communication mode on stress response and family support in patients with coronary artery bypass transplantation (CABG).Methods:This study was a similar experimental study, and 78 surgical patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were selected from February to July 2023. Among them, 39 patients admitted from February to April 2023 were in the control group with routine care measures; 39 patients admitted from May to July 2023 were in the observation group. The stress response indicators: the blood glucose (Glu), buffuer excess (BE) and lacid acid (Lac) were measured in both groups when entering the operating room, start and over the cardiopulmonary bypass. Compared the stress response indicators, sleep quality, family support and postoperative complications before and after the treatment between the two groups.Results:In the control group, there were 31 males and 8 females age (57.31 ± 7.56) years old, while in the observation group, there were 33 males and 6 females age (58.36 ± 6.84) years old. Repeated-measures ANOVA showed significant Glu, BE and Lac ( Ftime=76.00, 9.69, 6.19, all P<0.05) and interaction effects ( Finteraction=3.17, 4.43, 4.35, all P<0.05). The sleep quality score and family support score in the observation group were (9.49 ± 2.61) and (10.79 ± 1.26), respectively, in the control group was (10.85 ± 2.61) and (9.38 ± 1.41) respectively, the differences were significant ( t=2.30, -4.66, both P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 12.82% (5/39), which was significant lower than the 38.46%(15/39) in the control group ( χ2= 6.72, P<0.05). Conclusions:The health education of SBAR communication mode is beneficial to reduce the stress response of patients, improve the sleep quality of CABG patients, enhance the sense of gain of family support, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, thus promoting the rehabilitation outcome of patients.
