Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):431-434
Objective:
To explore the relationship between visual acuity and physical fitness of university freshmen, so as to provide reference for myopia prevention and control for freshmen.
Methods:
From October to November 2022, 2 160 college freshman without majoring in public safety administration, selected from Guangxi Police College in 2022 by using the stratified cluster random sampling method, were reviewed for the results of visual acuity test and physical fitness scores. The physical fitness indices were evaluated by using the Z scores of physical fitness test scores, and the strength of association between the level of physical fitness index and myopia was analyzed by using Logistic regression model.
Results:
Among 2 160 college freshman without majoring in public safety administration, 917 (42.5%) students were diagnosed screening myopia, including 66 (3.1%) cases of high myopia, 383 (17.7%) cases of moderate myopia and 468 (21.7%) cases of mild myopia. The differences in the distribution of visual acuity tests among students with different physical fitness indices, body mass index, and gender were statistically significant ( Z/H=54.50, 49.53, 15.51, P <0.01). Low level and low middle level physical fitness indices were associated with screening myopia among freshmen[ OR (95% CI )=2.81(1.93-4.08),1.87(1.38-2.54)], and low level physical fitness indexes were associated with high myopia [ OR (95% CI )=7.22(2.33-22.32)] ( P <0.01).
Conclusions
Screening myopia among college freshman without majoring in public safety administration is related to physical fitness, and low level and low middle level physical fitness index are risk factors for myopia. Improving the level of physical fitness might be effective in preventing myopia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of amlodipine besylate and benazepril hydrochloride tablets (II) in the treatment of primary hypertension.Methods:A total of 280 patients with primary hypertension who were treated at Shougang Shuigang Hospital between June 2022 and June 2023 were selected as study subjects. A clinical case-control study was conducted, and the RAND function method was utilized to randomly allocate the subjects into four groups, each receiving a different treatment: amlodipine besylate group (Group A, n = 70), benazepril hydrochloride group (Group B, n = 70), compound formulation amlodipine besylate and benazepril hydrochloride tablets group (Group C, n = 71), and amlodipine besylate plus benazepril hydrochloride group (Group D, n = 69). Relevant therapeutic indicators (blood pressure compliance rate, changes in blood pressure values) and safety indicators (adverse reactions, medication adherence) were observed. Results:The blood pressure compliance rates of Group C and Group D were 91.5% (65/71) and 89.9% (62/69), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 1.24, P = 0.143), but both were higher than the rates of 77.1% (54/70) and 74.3% (52/70) in Group A and Group B, respectively ( χ2 = 5.68, 4.86, P = 0.004, 0.012). Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure among the four groups of patients (all P > 0.05). After treatment, there was a statistically significant decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure among the four groups compared with their pre-treatment levels (all P < 0.05). Specifically, Group C and Group D exhibited significant reductions in blood pressure following treatment ( t = 4.35, 5.12, 7.25, 5.86, all P < 0.05). Meanwhile, there was no statistically significant difference in systolic blood pressure between Group C and Group D after treatment ( P > 0.05), while diastolic blood pressure was lower in Group C than Group D after treatment ( t = 6.01, P < 0.05). There was a significant downward trend observed in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (all P < 0.05). Notably, Group B and Group D reported higher incidences of dry cough, with 15 and 10 cases, respectively, compared with Group A and Group C, which had 1 and 3 cases, respectively. These differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.25, 5.04, both P < 0.05). Furthermore, the treatment compliance rates for Group A, Group B, and Group C were 72.9% (51/70), 71.4% (50/70), and 74.6% (53/71), respectively, all exceeding the 46.4% (32/69) compliance rate of Group D. These differences were also statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.68, 5.24, 4.98, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The clinical efficacy and safety of the compound formulation amlodipine besylate and benazepril hydrochloride tablets (II) in the treatment of primary hypertension are superior to those of single tablets and combination therapy.

Abstract: Objectives To sequence the whole genome of Vibrio cholerae strains isolated from Fuzhou between 2018 and 2023, predict virulence genes, antimicrobial resistance genes, and sequence loci information, analyze the genetic relationships among different strains, and provide evidence for cholera prevention and control. Methods Whole genome sequencing was performed on 60 strains of Vibrio cholerae, and bioinformatics software was used for quality control, gene assembly, and prediction of the sequencing data. PubMLST, ResFinder, and VFDB databases were used to predict the multilocus sequence typing, antimicrobial resistance genes, and virulence genes of different strains. Combined with the NCBI database, the phylogenetic tree was constructed by the maximum likelihood method through the core cgSNP phylogenetic analysis and de-recombination analysis. Results Based on the typing of 7 housekeeping genes, 60 Vibrio cholerae strains can be categorized into 16 known STs and 38 newly assigned STs. The clinical isolate H339 of serogroup O1 was identified as ST75. Serogroup O1 food isolates H13, H363, and H381 were all ST175. H263 and H357, the NOVC isolates, were both ST1218. H293 and H306 were ST1700. H311, H314, and H316 were all ST1699, with the remaining isolates displaying diversity. A total of 29 antimicrobial resistance genes were predicted, including aminoglycosides, β-lactams, quinolones, and folate pathway antagonists, with the majority of the strains carrying quinolones antimicrobial resistance genes. According to the VFDB prediction, all isolates had the virulence factors rtx and hlyA, 96.7% (58/60) of the strains carried the tlh genes, all serogroup O1 isolates carried tcp, zot, and ace genes, and all serogroup O1 clinical isolates carried ctxA genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis of the whole genome divided all strains into 20 branches, indicating high genomic divergence. Conclusions Thirty-eight new STs were identified. Genetic correlations were found among serogroup O1 food isolates, whereas serogroup O1 clinical isolates and serogroup O1 food isolates, as well as between serogroup O1 and NOVC strains, show distant phylogenetic relationships. There was diversity among the isolates. This study provides data support for the traceability of foodborne diseases.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the etiological characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) isolated from food-borne outbreaks in Fuqing City between 2021 and 2023, and to explore its distribution characteristics and epidemic types. Methods The serotypes, virulence genes (tlh, tdh, trh), and drug resistance profiles of 23 VP strains isolated from 4 food-borne disease outbreaks were tested by agglutination, multiple real-time PCR, and broth microdilution methods. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used for molecular typing to analyze homology. Results From 2021 to 2023, four food-borne disease outbreaks occurred in Fuqing City, leading to the isolation and identification of 23 VP strains. Among these, 19 clinical strains were divided into two serotypes: O10:K4 type, comprising 13 strains (68.4%), and O4:KUT type, comprising 6 strains (31.6%); the tdh gene carrying rate was 100.0%, and no trh gene was detected. The serotypes of the four food isolates were O3∶K4, O10:K24, O11∶KUT, and O3∶K37, respectively, all differing from the clinical strains, with two strains coming from the same food item without tdh and trh genes detected. The resistance rate of all isolates to cefazolin was the highest (87.0%), with two strains (8.7%) from different sources showing multidrug resistance. The PFGE genotypes of 19 case isolates were clustered and correlated with their serotypes and drug resistance profiles; strains isolated from the same outbreak event showed high similarity, whereas food strains exhibited polymorphism in PFGE genotypes. Conclusions The predominant serotype causing the four outbreaks was O10:K4, with some strains showing multidrug resistance; all clinical strains carried the tdh gene. The high correlation between strains from the same outbreak event suggests they are homologous. Special attention should be paid to the risk of outbreaks and pandemics caused by the O10:K4 type strain again. Additionally, food safety risk monitoring and assessment should be strengthened to provide an effective basis for epidemic prevention and control and early identification and warning.

Objective:To explore the age of onset and consultation, the main clinical manifestations, common types of combined malformations, the relationship of endometriosis, surgical prognosis and different types of proportion of adolescent female reproductive system dysplasia.Methods:The medical records of 356 patients (aged 10-19) with female reproductive system dysplasia in Women′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2003 to August 2018 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results:(1) Among the 356 adolescent dysplasia patients, uterine dysplasia (23.6%, 84/356), oblique vaginal septum syndrome (OVSS; 22.5%, 80/356) and vaginal dysplasia (21.6%, 77/356) were the most frequent ones, followed by multi-sectional dysplasia (16.0%, 57/356), other types of developmental abnormalities like external genitaliaand urogenital fistula (13.5%, 48/356) and Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome; 2.8%, 10/356). (2) There were significant differences between the median age of onset and the age of consultation of patients with OVSS and other types of abnormalities except hymen atresia (both P<0.05). In contrast, there were no significant differences between the age of onset and the age of consultation of the patients of uterine dysplasia, vaginal dysplasia, hymen atresia, MRKH syndrome and multi-sectional dysplasia (all P>0.05). (3) The clinical manifestations were lack of specificity, and mainly abnormal finding was lower abdominal pain. (4) After admission, the majority of patients underwent comprehensive cardiopulmonary examination (71.3%, 254/356) and urinary system examination (63.5%, 226/356). Only 18.3% (65/356) of patients had completed abdominal organ examination, and 5.9% (21/356) skeletal system examination. About other systemic malformations, urological malformations were the most common (27.5%, 98/356), followed by anorectal malformation (0.6%, 2/356), heart malformations (0.3%, 1/356), and spinal malformations (0.3%, 1/356). 46.4% (84/181) of the surgical patients were diagnosed with combined endometriosis. Patients with obstructive genital tract malformations were more likely to combine with endometriosis than non-obstructive ones [50.3% (74/147) vs 29.4% (10/34); P<0.05]. However, there was no significant difference between the severity of endometriosis of those two kinds ( P>0.05). (5) Totally 308 patients were followed up successfully with a median of 25.0 years old, and 20 cases were treated again; 12.0% (37/308) of them were suffering from menstrual disorder and 33.1% (102/308) of them with dysmenorrhea. Totally 130 patients had sexually active reported no sexual problems. Conclusions:Uterine dysplasia, OVSS and vaginal dysplasia are the most common syndromes in adolescent female reproductive system dysplasia along with frequent cases of coexisting urinary malformations and increasing risks of endometriosis. Meanwhile, the lack of specificity of clinical manifestations might delay the timely diagnosis and treatment after the onset of symptoms. Nonetheless, most patients could achieve good surgical outcomes.
