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.

Objective To explore the correlation between the expression of serum microRNA(miR)-1298-5p,miR-625-5p,and miR-155 with the degree of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection in elderly gastric cancer patients.Methods From January 2021 to November 2023,120 elderly patients with gastric cancer admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to November 2023 were selected as the gastric cancer group,and 130 non-gas-tric cancer patients who underwent gastroscopy were selected as the control group.The expression levels of miR-1298-5p,miR-625-5p and miR-155 in serum were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR).Car-bon 13 urea breath test was used to detect the positive rate of Hp infection in two groups,and the degree of Hp infection in elderly patients with gastric cancer were evaluated.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of serum miR-1298-5p,miR-625-5p,and miR-155 expression levels for Hp infection in elderly gastric cancer patients.Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum miR-1298-5p,miR-625-5p,miR-155 expression and positive rate of Hp infection in elderly gas-tric cancer patients.Results Compared with the control group,the expression levels of miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p in serum of gastric cancer group decreased(P＜0.05),while the positive rate of Hp infection and the expression level of serum miR-155 increased(P＜0.05).The expression levels of serum miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p in elderly gastric cancer patients with Hp grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ infection were lower than those without Hp infection,while the expression level of miR-155 was higher(P＜0.05).Patients with poor differ-entiation,lymph node metastasis,and TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ had lower expressions of serum miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p(P＜0.05),and higher expression of miR-155(P＜0.05)than those with moderate-high differen-tiation,no lymph node metastasis,and TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ.The expression levels of serum miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p were negatively correlated with the positive rate of Hp infection in elderly patients with gastric cancer(r=-0.443,-0.386,both P＜0.001),and the expression levels of serum miR-155 were positively correlated with the positive rate of Hp infection(r=0.525,P＜0.001).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum miR-1298-5p,miR-625-5p and miR-155 combined diagnosis of Hp infection in elderly gastric cancer pa-tients was higher than that of single diagnosis(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p in serum of elderly gastric cancer patients with Hp infection decrease,while the expression level of miR-155 increases.These three factors are related to the degree of Hp infection and have good diag-nostic value for the occurrence of Hp infection.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of conbercept in patients with choroidal neovascularization secondary to chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC-CNV).Methods:A retrospective case study was performed.The medical records of 13 patients (14 eyes) diagnosed as chronic CSC-CNV in Hangzhou Branch of Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from September 2015 to January 2018 were collected.All the study eyes received intravitreal injection of conbercept (0.05 ml/0.5 mg) under one intravitreal injection and pro re nata (PRN) treatment.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) before initial injection and 1 week, 1 month, 2, 3 and 6 months after initial injection were measured and analyzed.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki and written informed consent was obtained from each patient before initial injection.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hangzhou Branch of Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (No.2019-029-K-28).Results:During the 6-month follow-up, the mean administration times was 1.93±0.83, and all the CNV secondary to CSC did not grow outside the retinal pigment epithelium layer.The BCVA values before initial injection and 1 week, 1 month, 2, 3 and 6 months after initial injection were 0.51±0.32, 0.43±0.34, 0.36±0.35, 0.31±0.28, 0.27±0.29 and 0.26±0.30, respectively, with a significant difference among different time points ( F=21.225, P<0.05). The BCVA values at each time point after initial injection were significantly better than that before initial injection (all at P<0.05). The CMT values before initial injection and 1 week and 1 month, 2, 3, 6 months after initial injection were (299.07±132.90), (216.50±70.94), (203.00±61.87), (234.29±95.70), (194.21±46.46) and (207.43±55.46) μm, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant among different time points ( F=3.768, P<0.05). The CMT values at each time point after initial injection were significantly better than that before initial injection (all at P<0.05). No severe treatment complications were observed during the follow-up period. Conclusions:Intravitreal injection of conbercept is safe and can effectively reduce the CMT and improve BCVA of chronic CSC-CNV patients in the short term.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) nursing model for perioperative patients in orthopedic surgery on complications. Methods: Computer-based search of electronic databases the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, WF and CBM Database to search for randomized controlled trials on the application of ERAS nursing models in orthopaedic patients at domestic and foreign before March 16, 2018, data were selected and screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RevMan 5.3 was used for meta-analysis of the included studies. Results: A total of 25 RCTs were included in the study and a total of 2 412 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of deep venous thrombos[RR=0.38, 95%CI(0.24, 0.61), P<0.01], and incidence of pulmonary infection[RR=0.26, 95% CI (0.10, 0.67), P=0.005], incidence of urinary tract infections[RR=0.28, 95%CI(0.10,0.78), P=0.01], incidence of constipation [RR=0.30, 95% CI (0.17,0.56), P=0.0001], The incidence of bloating [RR=0.35, 95%CI(0.13, 0.95), P=0.04], they were lower in the experimental group than in routine care, they were statistically significant. Incidence of incision infection [RR=0.75, 95% CI(0.17, 3.27), P= 0.70], incidence of pressure sores [RR=0.34, 95% CI(0.09, 1.27), P=0.11], incidence of nausea and vomiting [RR=0.81, 95% CI(0.52, 1.25), P=0.34] were not statistically significant; postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization costs, and patient satisfaction were statistically significant. Conclusions Compared with routine care, the ERAS nursing model can promote the recovery of orthopedic patients during perioperative period, reduce postoperative deep venous thrombosis, constipation, pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection, postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization costs, and patient satisfaction. All have a positive impact, but more multicentre and large sample clinical trials are needed for validation.

OBJECTIVETo compare the acute kidney injury classification systems of RIFLE,AKIN,KDIGO and conventional criteria for determining prognosis of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients.

METHODSPatients with ACLF admitted to our hospital between July 2008 and March 2014 were enrolled in the study. The incidence, stages, and outcomes of acute kidney injury were determined according to the RIFLE, AKIN,KDIGO and conventional criteria.ROC curves were generated to compare the predictive ability for 30-day mortality of the four systems.Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used for statistical analyses, as well.

RESULTSAll four classification systems detected acute kidney injury among the patients in the study population (n =358), but the detection rates were not consistent (expressed as % of total): KDIGO criteria: 45.0%, AKIN: 38.8%, rIFLE: 35.5%, conventional criterion: 20.4%. The KDIGO and AKIN criteria showed higher sensitivity (72%), especially to early kidney injury, but the conventional criterion showed higher specificity (92%). The AUC for 30-day mortality was highest for the conventional criteria (0.75), followed by AKIN (0.72), rIFLE (0.70) and KDIGO (0.69) (all, P less than 0.05). In-hospital mortality increased with severity of AKI in a stepwise manner.

CONCLUSIONAmong the four common evaluation systems for acute kidney injury, the conventional criteria has the highest specificity for predicting short-term prognosis of patients with ACLF, while the AKIN and KDIGO criteria have the highest sensitivity for the presence of acute kidney injury, especially at the early stage.

The aim of this research was to estimate the bioactivity of nano-hydroxyapatite/poly (L-lactic acid) composites in simulated body fluid. In vitro test showed that the pH value of simulated body fluid (SBF) declined gradually and the existence of hydroxyapatite (HA) particles neutralized the acid degradation product of poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA). Bone-like apatite deposited on the surface, and silkworm-like crystals and plate-like clusters appeared after soaking. At the same time, there were many honeycomb-like pores caused by nano-composite degraded. The results indicated that the hydroxyapatite/poly (L-lactic acid) nano-composites have good bioactivity and degradation characteristics.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic features and diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma to the spleen (MCS).

METHODSFour patients (1 man and 3 women, mean age 43.5 years) with MCS were analyzed clinicopathologically.

RESULTSThe four MCS patients accounted for 1.3% of 308 patients having spleen biopsy from 1959 to 1999. Their chief presentations were pain and mass in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. The mass was located in the upper pole of the spleen (1 patient), the lower pole of the spleen (2), or the lower pole and hilum of the spleen (1). Macroscopically, all of the lesions were nodular. Histologic type of these MCSs included acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas (2 patients), transverse colon adenocarcinoma (1), and hepatic cell carcinoma (1). Clinically, 1 patient was diagnosed as having MCS and 3 were misdiagnosed. According to Chinese literature, the clinicopathologic features of MCS were as follows: (1) 66.7% of the patients with MCS were aged 30 approximately 60 years, with a mean of 51.2 years. (2) 76.3% of the patients presented with pain in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen and 63.2% with splenomegaly and splenic masses. (3) Macroscopically, nodular lesions accounted for 68.4%. (4) Microscopically, 84.2% of the lesions were adenocarcinomas and 70.3% originated from carcinomas of the colon, liver, ovary and pancreas. (5) B-mode ultrasonography and/or CT showed occupying lesions or masses in the spleen in 76.7%, and MCS in 11.8%. (6) Clinically, 73.7% of the patients were misdiagnosed.

CONCLUSIONSMCS is uncommon but its clinical misdiagnosis rate is high. Image examination is of value in clinical diagnosis. Cooperation of clinicians and pathologists may enhance the diagnostic level of MCS.
