In response to the current shift in the main content and research focus of life education, which is gradually shifting from the behavioural norms of “health and safety” to thinking about the essence of life and issues of life and death. Drawing on the theoretical resources of the political philosophy of life, it was pointed out that the internalization of “life” has led to the incidence of “burnout” and depression. Faced with the technological rationalism of contemporary society, how to deal with external technological training was the real problem that life education needs to solve. For life education, it was necessary to study how to reemphasize the practical dimension, as well as expand the theme of “health and safety” from simple behavioural norms to ways of dealing with modern society and showcasing life forms.

AIM: To compare the agreement between the ARK Biometer Combo and OA 2000 in patients wearing orthokeratology lenses.METHODS: A prospective study. A total of 148 patients(148 eyes)who were wearing orthokeratology lenses and returned for follow-up at the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center from August to September 2024 were included. Biometric measurements were performed using both the ARK Biometer Combo and OA 2000. Parameters including axial length(AL), corneal central thickness(CCT), anterior chamber depth(ACD), lens thickness(LT), corneal curvature(Kf and Ks), astigmatism(AST), white-to-white corneal diameter(WTW)and pupil diameter(PD)were obtained. Differences in measurement parameters between the two biometers were compared, and agreement was assessed.RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in the measurements of Kf, Ks and AST between the two biometers(P>0.05). Statistically significant differences were found in the measurements of AL, CCT, ACD, LT, WTW and PD(t=2.559, P=0.012; t=16.771, P<0.0001; t=4.749, P<0.0001; t=-15.212, P<0.0001; t=-14.915, P<0.0001; t=-2.402, P=0.018). ICC ranged from 0.615 to 0.999. Bland-Altman analysis showed that the maximum absolute values of the 95% limits of agreement(LoA)of AL, CCT, ACD, LT, Kf, Ks, AST, WTW and PD were 0.07 mm, 35.07 μm, 0.07 mm, 0.12 mm, 0.66 D, 1.14 D, 1.00 D, 0.76 mm, and 0.98 mm, respectively.CONCLUSION: In orthokeratology patients, the ARK Biometer Combo and OA 2000 showed good agreement in measuring AL, CCT, ACD, Kf and LT, and can be used interchangeably.

This paper aims to discuss the ideas and experience about the radiology residency training system of Canada with a presentation of its base accreditation standards for five aspects, competency goals for seven roles, four stages of training arrangement, and two types of final assessment questions. Although the Canada's radiology residency program differs from China's standardized resident and specialist training programs for radiology, there are still several points that are worth referencing, including emphasizing the training priority of competency goals, providing a specific basis for the stratification of training, offering clear guidance for the implementation of training content, and improving assessment methods to focus on competency goals. These points are of great value for improving the standardized radiology resident and specialist training programs in China, so as to provide a reference for the training of excellent radiologists in China.

Background::With an increasing number of patients with hematological malignancies being treated with umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT), the correlation between immune reconstitution (IR) after UCBT and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has been reported successively, but reports on double-negative T (DNT) cell reconstitution and its association with acute GVHD (aGVHD) after UCBT are lacking.Methods::A population-based observational study was conducted among 131 patients with hematological malignancies who underwent single-unit UCBT as their first transplant at the Department of Hematology, the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, between August 2018 and June 2021. IR differences were compared between the patients with and without aGVHD.Results::The absolute number of DNT cells in the healthy Chinese population was 109 (70-157)/μL, accounting for 5.82 (3.98-8.19)% of lymphocytes. DNT cells showed delayed recovery and could not reach their normal levels even one year after transplantation. Importantly, the absolute number and percentage of DNT cells were significantly higher in UCBT patients without aGVHD than in those with aGVHD within one year ( F = 4.684, P = 0.039 and F = 5.583, P = 0.026, respectively). In addition, the number of DNT cells in the first month after transplantation decreased significantly with the degree of aGVHD increased, and faster DNT cell reconstitution in the first month after UCBT was an independent protective factor for aGVHD (HR = 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23-0.93; P = 0.031). Conclusions::Compared to the number of DNT cells in Chinese healthy people, the reconstitution of DNT cells in adults with hematological malignancies after UCBT was slow. In addition, the faster reconstitution of DNT cells in the early stage after transplantation was associated with a lower incidence of aGVHD.

Objective:Using real-world data to analyze whether the administration of carbapenems within 7 days before the treatment or during the treatment will reduce the effectiveness of sodium valproate in patients with status epilepticus (SE) and seizure clusters (SC).Methods:The clinical data of SE and SC patients who received intravenous administration of sodium valproate in the Department of Emergency of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 2017 to 2021 were collected. The main endpoint was the failure to terminate epileptic seizures after sodium valproate injection. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze whether the carbapenems was an independent risk factor for the failure of sodium valproate treatment.Results:Finally, 142 SE patients and 181 SC patients were included. Univariate analysis revealed that the use of carbapenems within 7 days before or during the treatment was a risk factor for the failure of sodium valproate treatment in SC patients (χ 2=5.498, P=0.019), but was not a risk factor for the failure of sodium valproate treatment in SE patients (χ 2=3.015, P=0.082). Through multiple factor analysis, it was found that the use of carbapenems was an independent risk factor for the seizures not terminatd by sodium valproate in SC patients ( OR=3.462, 95% CI 1.180-10.157); the interval between onset and medication≥4 hours increased the risk of sodium valproate treatment failure in SE patients ( OR=4.591, 95% CI 1.443-14.607); simultaneously using benzodiazepines could reduce the risk of sodium valproate treatment failure in SE patients ( OR=0.300, 95% CI 0.128-0.703). Conclusions:The use of carbapenems by SC patients within 7 days before or during treatment may lead to the failure of sodium valproate treatment. In clinical practice, the use of sodium valproate as a medication to terminate seizures in SC patients can be determined based on their medication records.

Guided by the theory of "kidney generates marrow", the study elaborates the viewpoint that the route of Yin Heel Channel (阴跷脉) is consistent with the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis from the perspective of the circulation of the meridians and the relationship between the zang-fu organs. Accordingly, it is believed that disease of Yin Heel Channel and dysfunction of the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis are the core pathogenesis of children enuresis, and it is elaborated from the following three major aspects, firstly, insufficient kidney essence, dysfunction of the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis, secondly, disease of Yin Heel Channel and deficiency and cold in lower jiao, and thirdly, disease of Yin Heel Channel and loss of nourishment of Chong Vessel. It is proposed to use the mode of "firstly needle, secondly moxibustion, and lastly consolidation" to treat children enuresis. Needle is to adjust yin and yang, warm yang and tonify kidney, and wake up the brain and open the orifices. The acupoints in Yin Heel Channel such as Zhaohai (KI 6), Jiaoxin (KI 8) and confluence points of the eight extraordinary vessels such as Waiguan (TE 5), Zulinqi (GB 41) are used, together with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Guanyuan (CV 4), Qixue (KI 13), Dazhong (KI 4). Moxibustion is to reinforce healthy qi and warm yang, bank up the root and consolidate the original qi by moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8), Mingmen (GV 4), and Xuanshu (GV 5). Consolidation is to use acupoints application to consolidate the therapeutic effect, and Guanyuan (CV 4) & Pangguangshu (BL 28), Qihai (CV 6) & Zhishi (BL 52), and Shenque (CV 8) & Ciliao (BL 32) are commonly used as the three groups of acupoints to warm the kidney and stop collapse, regulate and tonify the qi and blood.

Objective :
To investigate the protective effect of melatonin (MT) on formaldehyde (FA) inhalation-in- duced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats and its mechanism through the regulation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway.
Methods :
Fifty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into Control group ,FA group,FA + MT 5 mg / kg group,FA + MT 10 mg / kg group and FA + MT 20 mg / kg group,with 10 rats in each group.Except for the Control group,all other groups inhaled 3 mg / m3 FA daily for 21 d consecutively to construct the tainted model,and then treated with different MT doses for 14 d.The tainting was continued during the MT treatment.Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in lung tissue,lung water content and lung coefficient were weighed and measured,glutathione ( GSH) ,superoxide dismutase (SOD) and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine ( 8-OHdG) levels were measured by absorbance photometric method ,and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) ,in- terleukin (IL) -6,and IL-1 β concentrations,Western blot to detect the protein expression levels of Nrf2,heme ox- ygenase-1 (HO-1) ,nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB) ,and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB ( p-NF-κB) in lung tis- sues,and quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) to detect the Nrf2,HO-1,and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) mRNA expression levels.
Results :
Compared with the control group,lung injury was obvious in rats in the FA group ; lung tissue GSH and SOD levels were reduced ,and 8-OHdG levels were elevated ( P < 0. 05) ; alveolar lavage fluid TNF-α , IL-6,and IL-1 β levels were elevated (P<0. 05) ; Nrf 2 and HO-1 protein expression levels were reduced in the lung tissue (P<0. 05) ,and p-NF-κB protein expression levels were was ele- vated (P<0. 05) ; the relative mRNA expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in lung tissue was decreased,and the relative mRNA expression of Keap1 was elevated (P<0. 05) .Compared with the FA group,the lung injury of rats in the MT group was improved ; the levels of GSH and SOD in the lung tissue were increased (P<0. 05) ,and the level of 8-OHdG was decreased (P<0. 05) ; the levels of TNF-α , IL-6,and IL-1 β in the alveolar lavage fluid were de- creased (P<0. 05) ; and the expression levels of the Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins in the lung tissue were increased (P <0. 05) .p-NF-κB protein expression level was decreased (P <0. 05) ; the relative mRNA expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 in lung tissues were increased (P<0. 05) ,and the relative mRNA expression level of Keap1 was decreased (P<0. 05) in lung tissues,and all of them were in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusion
MT can al- leviate oxidative stress and inflammatory responses and mitigate FA exposure-induced acute lung injury by regula- ting the Nrf2 / Keap1 / HO-1 signaling pathway.
10.Analysis of pediatric flexible flatfoot screening and associated factors among children aged 7-8 in Changzhou City
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(10):1471-1475
Objective:
To analyze the prevalence and related factors of pediatric flexible flatfoot (PFF) among 7-8 year old children in Changzhou, so as to provide a feasible basis for the prevention and treatment of PFF.
Methods:
From December 2023 to February 2024, a total of 1 685 children aged 7-8 from 10 primary schools in Changzhou were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method, and screened for PFF by using a foot optical assessment recording device. Information including sex, body mass index (BMI), diet, exercise and shoe wearing habits were collected. The valgus angle of the hindfoot was measured on the body surface by using an orthopedic measuring ruler in the standing position. Pain levels were evaluated by using visual analogue score (VAS) for children with flatfoot syndrome. Multivariate Logistic analysis was used to analyze related factors of PFF.
Results:
The overall detection rate of PFF was 27.4%, and there was a significant difference in the detection rate of PFF between boys and girls, with 30.3% and 24.1% respectively ( χ 2=7.96, P < 0.01 ). Most cases of PFF were mild flatfoot (60.8%) and bilateral ( 60.4% ). Approximately 13.2% of children with PFF had flatfoot syndrome, with a mean VAS of (2.86±0.73). About 56.1% of children with PFF had a normal valgus angle of the hindfoot. Sex, high BMI and preference for shoe last with front upturned shoe shape were positively correlated with the detection of PFF ( OR= 1.74, 1.54, 1.13, P <0.05). After stratified by sex, regular exercise in boys and age in girls were negatively correlated with the detection of PFF ( OR=0.40, 0.64, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The detection rate of PFF in 7-8 year old children is high. Additionally, PFF combined with flatfoot syndrome or valgus hindfoot is relatively rare and is likely to be underestimated, which emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention for PFF.
