Objective: To investigate the correlation between social jetlag and psychological behavior in upper primary school students,so as to provide reference for sleep health promotion in primary school students. Methods: From April to June 2024, a survey was conducted among 4 341 fourth and fifth grade students from 9 public primary schools in a district in Beijing. Sleep patterns were assessed using a self designed questionnaire, while psychological behavior was evaluated using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)(parent version). A generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was used to examine the association between different levels of social jetlag and psychological behavior problem scores in primary school students. Results: The proportions of students with social jetlag of <1.0, 1.0-<2.0, and ≥2.0 h were 57.6%, 30.6%, and 11.8%, respectively. The GEE model analysis found that after adjusting for covariates, compared with primary school students with social jetlag of <1.0 h, those with 1.0 -<2.0 and ≥2.0 h had higher scores for internalizing behavior problems [ β (95% CI ) =0.23(0.05-0.41)，0.28(0.02-0.54), P < 0.01]. Primary school students with ≥2.0 h of social jetlag had higher scores for externalizing behavior problems [ β (95% CI )=0.42 (0.13-0.71)， P <0.01]. Among boys and primary school students with an average nighttime sleep duration of ≥9 h, comparied with social jetlag of <1.0 h,those with sucial jetlag 1.0-<2.0 h had higher scores on internalizing and externalizing behavior problems[ β (95% CI )=0.32(0.07-0.56),0.51 (0.11-0.90), 0.26 (0.06-0.46)，0.58 (0.25-0.91), P <0.05]. Conclusions Greater social jetlag may be a risk factor for internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in upper primary school students. Reducing social jetlag may help decrease the occurrence of psychological behavior problems in primary school students.

Objective: To explore the association of screening myopia and sitting posture habits as well as screen viewing distance among primary school students, providing a scientific basis for myopia prevention and intervention among primary school students. Methods: From April to June 2024, a convenient sampling method was used to enroll 1 394 fourth grade students from four primary schools in a district of Beijing for vision examinations and questionnaire surveys. Logistic regression models were employed to analyze the relationship of screening myopia detection and sitting posture habits as well as viewing distance. Results: The screening myopia prevalence among primary school students was 63.8%. About 13.1% of students self reported poor sitting posture, and 47.1% selfreported a viewing distance of ≤20 cm. After adjusting for covariates including age, gender, school, sleep quality, parental myopia status, physical fitness level, daily high intensity physical activity, weekend outdoor activity time and types of after school services, Logistic regression analysis showed that students with poor sitting posture were more likely to have screening myopia than those with normal sitting posture ( OR =1.73,95% CI =1.03-2.92); students with a viewing distance of ≤20 cm were more likely to have screening myopia than those with a viewing distance of >20 cm( OR =1.32, 95% CI =1.02-1.71)( P <0.05). The association between sitting posture and screening myopia was more significant among boys( OR =2.00, 95% CI =1.03-3.88, P < 0.05 ). A multiplicative interaction was observed between sitting posture and viewing distance. Compared to primary school students with normal posture and a viewing distance of >20 cm, those with poor posture and a viewing distance of >20 cm were more likely to have screening myopia ( OR =1.82, 95% CI =1.12-2.96， P <0.05). Conclusions Both sitting posture habits and screen viewing distance are related to screening myopia in primary school students. Poor sitting posture poses a higher risk than screen distance, and the two factors exhibit an interactive effect on myopia risk.

Objective To explore the correlation and dose-response relationship between blood lipid parameters and the risk of thyroid nodules (TNs) in euthyroid women, providing references for disease prevention. Methods A case-control study was conducted, including 1 412 euthyroid women (701 in the case group and 711 in the control group). Crude and multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between blood lipid parameters and the risk of TNs, and restricted cubic spline regression was applied to explore the dose-response relationship. Results Compared with women in the lowest quartile of serum triglyceride (TG; Q1, TG≤0.92 mmol/L), the risk of TNs was 45% (OR＝1.45, 95%CI 1.06-1.98) higher for those in Q2 (TG 0.93-1.24 mmol/L), 101% (OR＝2.01, 95%CI 1.47-2.77) higher for those in Q3 (TG 1.25-1.81 mmol/L), and 67% (OR＝1.67, 95%CI 1.19-2.33) higher for those in Q4 (TG>1.81 mmol/L) after adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI) and education. For each unit increase in log₁₀TG, the risk increased by 98% (OR＝1.98, 95%CI 1.14-3.45). Moreover, the correlation remained statistically significant even after further adjustment for thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and urinary iodine (OR＝1.75, 95%CI 1.00-3.06, P＜0.05). However, correlations of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with the risk of TNs were not statistically significant. Restricted cubic spline regression analysis further demonstrated the non-linear dose-response relationship of TG levels with the risk of TNs. Specifically, the risk of TNs increased in a monotonic manner at lower TG concentrations (＜1.23 mmol/L), but appeared to plateau or even slightly decrease at higher levels of TG (≥1.23 mmol/L). Conclusions Among euthyroid women, higher serum TG level is associated with risk of TNs, and this correlation is non-linear.

Objective:To determine the total and age-specific cut-off values of total prostate specific antigen (tPSA) and the ratio of free PSA divided total PSA (fPSA/tPSA) for screening prostate cancer in China.Methods:Based on the Chinese Colorectal, Breast, Lung, Liver, and Stomach cancer Screening Trial (C-BLAST) and the Tianjin Common Cancer Case Cohort (TJ4C), males who were not diagnosed with any cancers at baseline since 2017 and received both tPSA and fPSA testes were selected. Based on Cox regression, the overall and age-specific (＜60, 60-＜70, and ≥70 years) accuracy and optimal cut-off values of tPSA and fPSA/tPSA ratio for screening prostate cancer were evaluated with time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (tdROC) and area under curve (AUC). Bootstrap resampling was used to internally validate the stability of the optimal cut-off value, and the PLCO study was used to externally validate the accuracy under different cut-off values.Results:A total of 5 180 participants were included in the study, and after a median follow-up of 1.48 years, a total of 332 prostate cancer patients were included. In the total population, the tdAUC of tPSA and fPSA/tPSA screening for prostate cancer were 0.852 and 0.748, respectively, with the optimal cut-off values of 5.08 ng/ml and 0.173, respectively. After age stratification, the age specific cut-off values of tPSA in the <60, 60-<70, and ≥70 age groups were 3.13, 4.82, and 11.54 ng/ml, respectively, while the age-specific cut-off values of fPSA/tPSA were 0.153, 0.135, and 0.130, respectively. Under the age-specific cut-off values, the sensitivities of tPSA screening for prostate cancer in males <60, 60-70, and ≥70 years old were 92.3%, 82.0%, and 77.6%, respectively, while the specificities were 84.7%, 81.3%, and 75.4%, respectively. The age-specific sensitivities of fPSA/tPSA for screening prostate cancer were 74.4%, 53.3%, and 55.9%, respectively, while the specificities were 83.8%, 83.7%, and 83.7%, respectively. Both bootstrap's internal validation and PLCO external validation provided similar results. The combination of tPSA and fPSA/tPSA could further improve the accuracy of screening.Conclusion:To improve the screening effects, it is recommended that age-specific cut-off values of tPSA and fPSA/tPSA should be used to screen for prostate cancer in the general risk population.

Objective:To explore the incidence and mortality of digestive system cancers, and the trend of the disease burden attributed to different risk factors in population in China.Methods:Data were obtained from the GLOBOCAN 2020 and the Global Burden of Disease Study in 2019 databases and only the data from the Chinese population were included. Using Excel 2019 and R 4.2.1 software, indicators including age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), age-standardized disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rate and its rate of change were used to illustrate the disease burden of digestive system cancers attributed to different factors and their trends.Results:In 2020, the ASIR of digestive system cancers in China was 83.00/100 000, and the ASMR was 63.80/100 000. The numbers of digestive system cancer cases and deaths increased with age, and more cases and deaths occurred in men than in women in all age groups. The age-standardized DALY rate of esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and liver cancers showed decreasing trends in China from 1990 to 2019 (rate of change: -45.26%, -46.87%, and -65.63%, respectively), whereas the age-standardized DALY rate of pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer and gallbladder and biliary tract cancer showed increasing trends (rate of change: 67.61%, 30.52%, and 7.21%, respectively). The trend of the mortality rate was consistent with the DALY rate. Compared with the age-standardized DALY rate attributed to behavioral factors, the annual proportion of the age-standardized DALY rate attributed to metabolic factors to the total age-standardized DALY rate of esophageal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer increased from 1990 to 2019. There was no significant change in the rank of age-standardized DALY rate of gastric cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gallbladder and biliary tract cancer attributed to different risk factors in China from 1990 to 2019, but the rank of certain attributed risk factors for the age-standardized DALY rate of esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer moved ahead (esophageal cancer: high BMI; colorectal cancer: low milk intake, and low whole-grain intake).Conclusions:The incidence and mortality of digestive system cancers was serious in China in 2020, and the annual proportion of the disease burden of digestive system cancers attributed to metabolic factors increased from 1990 to 2019. The rank of attributed risk factors for several digestive system cancers changed significantly.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the therapeutic effect of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and cytokines in aqueous humor in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods From July 2023 to December 2023,50 DR patients(56 eyes)who were treated with anti-VEGF drugs in the Department of Ophthal-mology,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University were included in this study.The patients were divided into the diabetic macular edema(DME)group(30 patients,36 eyes)and the proliferative DR(PDR)group(20 patients,20 eyes).Patients in the DME group received an intravitreal injection of aflibercept once a month for three consecutive times,with aqueous humor extracted before each injection.Patients in the PDR group received an intravitreal injection of aflibercept one week before vitrectomy,with aqueous humor extracted before injection and during vitrectomy,respective-ly.The concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGF-A),placental growth factor(PLGF),interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-23,IL-17A,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the aqueous humor were detected using the Luminex as-say.Before injection therapy,all patients underwent best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and central macular thickness(CMT)examinations,and their correlations with cytokine concentrations in DR patients before injection therapy were ana-lyzed.Results Compared to before injection therapy,the concentrations of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 in the aqueous humor of patients in the DME group decreased significantly after treatment(all P＜0.05);additionally,the CMT de-creased,and the BCVA increased(both P＜0.05).After injection therapy,the concentrations of VEGF,PLGF,IL-1β,IL-23,IL-17A,and TNF-α in the aqueous humor of patients in the PDR group significantly decreased compared to before injec-tion therapy(all P＜0.05).Before injection therapy,the levels of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 in the aqueous humor of pa-tients in the DME group were higher than those in the PDR group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The correlation analysis results showed that before injection therapy,VEGF was negatively correlated with BCVA(r=-0.767,P=0.004)and was positively correlated with CMT(r=0.662,P=0.019)and IL-23(r=0.765,P=0.004)in the DME group.There was no correlation between the cytokines in the aqueous humor of patients in the PDR group be-fore injection therapy(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Changes in the concentration of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 are closely related to the occurrence and development of DR.Anti-VEGF treatment can improve BCVA and decrease CMT in DME pa-tients.The expression level of IL-23 in aqueous humor can serve as a predictive factor for the anti-VEGF efficacy in DR pa-tients,providing new targets for early diagnosis and treatment of DR.

Objective:To explore the causes of the crosstalk in the gross α and gross β measurement using an MPC 9604 low background α/β counter.Methods:With the A4 copy paper (70 g/m 2), polyethylene (PE) films (8.7 g/m 2), and 304 stainless steel seperately as shielding materials, the gross α and gross β experiments, gamma spectrometry experiments and solid state nuclear track detection (SSNTD) experiments were conducted by using 241Am and 40K standard materials. A comprehensive analysis encompassing statistical analysis and nuclear physics analysis was performed to reveal the impact of contributing factors on the crosstalk in the gross α and gross β measurement with an MPC 9604 low background α/β counter. Results:241Am powder source experimental result: when two sheets of copy paper were used in the experiment, α-rays did not generate one count in the β channel of the low background α/β counter. The same test with the shielding material of two layers of PE films showed that the α count rate further decreased by about 36.5%, while the β count rate hardly changed. The gross α and gross β experiments and γ spectrometry with the shielding material of stainless steel demonstrated that the characteristic γ ray peaking at 59.5 keV of the 241Am powder source did not generate one count in the β channel. 40K powder source experimental result: when the source was covered with steel of total thickness of 0.965 mm in the gross α and gross β experiments, the γ rays of 40K did not generate one count in the β channel. Compared with naked 40K powder source, when source was covered with one and two sheets of copy paper, the gross α count rate decreased approximately from 3.30 × 10 -3 to 1.50 × 10 -3 and 1.75 × 10 -3, respectively. The SSNTD indicated the presence of other α nuclides in 40K powder source. Conclusions:The β counting in the β channel with the 241Am powder source using MPC 9604 low background α/β counter was, instead of α-rays, caused by the internal conversion electrons and the characteristic X rays of 11.870-22.402 keV emitted from the 241Am powder source, thus this is not a true α/β crosstalk. The α counting in α channel with the 40K powder source, except the contribution of impurity α nuclides, was mainly attributed to the α signals arising from β particles when the amplitude of the piled-up β pules exceeded the discrimination threshold of the detector, therefore it is a true crosstalk.

Objective To investigate the current state of quality management on intravenous therapy in secondary and tertiary hospitals in China.This study aims to provide a reference for the development of relevant policies,promoting the professionalization,standardization,and homogenization of intravenous therapy.Methods By a convenience sampling method,intravenous therapy nursing managers from secondary and tertiary hospitals in 31 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities were selected as survey participants in November 2023.A self-designed questionnaire was used for the survey.Results A total of 2 129 questionnaires were collected,of which 1,926 were valid,resulting in a response rate of 90.47％.Among the 1926 hospitals,1 733(89.98％)had established quality evaluation standards for intravenous therapy,and 1 734(90.03％)conducted regular quality inspections for intravenous therapy or peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)insertion and maintenance.Additionally,1 604 hospitals(83.28％)had established protocols for handling and reporting intravenous therapy or PICC-related complications,and 1 574 hospitals(81.72％)regularly collected and analyzed data related to intravenous therapy or PICC insertion and maintenance.Moreover,371 hospitals(19.26％)had implemented intravenous therapy information management systems.Regarding various types of intravenous therapy documents,the highest rate of document types was informed consent forms,with a compliance rate of over 80.00％,followed by insertion records and catheter maintenance records,respectively.The lowest rate was complication management records,with a compliance rate of less than 50.00％.For catheter maintenance protocols,the highest compliance rate was for maintenance procedures,at over 85.00％,followed by insertion procedures.Except for PICCs,the compliance rate for establishing catheter removal and complication management procedures for other types of catheters was less than 65.00％.In terms of quality management of intravenous therapy,there are significant differences between secondary and tertiary hospitals.Conclusion The quality evaluation standards for intravenous therapy are relatively comprehensive,but the informatization of intravenous therapy quality management is still underdeveloped.Furthermore,there is a need to further standardize the documentation and procedures related to intravenous therapy,and there are differences in the level of intravenous therapy management among hospitals of different levels.
