Objective:
To analyze the current status and related factors of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms among middle school students in Beijing, so as to provide a basis for comprehensive public health interventions for common diseases.
Methods:
Through stratified cluster random sampling in October 2022, a total of 11 262 junior high school, senior high school, and vocational high school students in 16 districts of Beijing were surveyed with self administered questionnaires, physical examinations and visual acuity examinations. The χ 2 test and binary Logistic regression model were used to analyze group differences in the comorbidity of myopia, obesity and depression symptoms and factors influencing the comorbidity. Stratified analysis was applied to analyze the associations between health risk behaviors and the comorbidity.
Results:
The detection rate of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms among middle school students in Beijing was 3.35%, the comorbidity rate among vocational high school students (4.61%) was higher than that in junior high school students (2.80%) and senior high school students (3.41%). The comorbidity rate was higher among students in suburban areas (3.66%) than that in urban areas (2.92%), and the differences was statistically significant ( χ 2=15.02, 4.63, P <0.05). Binary Logistic regression analyses indicated that middle school students with poor dietary behaviors ( OR =1.59) and excessive screen time ( OR =1.70) were associated with elevated risk of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms. Both boys and girls with poor dietary behaviors ( OR =1.63, 1.69) and excessive screen time ( OR =1.45, 2.23) had elevated likelihood of comorbidity of myopia, obesity and depression symptoms. Students in junior high school and senior high school with poor dietary behaviors ( OR =2.16, 1.47) and excessive screen time ( OR =2.20, 1.63 ) had elevated likelihood of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
The current status of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms among middle school students in Beijing is concerning. Schools and parents should work together to guide students to develop healthy behaviors such as balanced diet and moderate video, in order to achieve the goal of controlling myopia, obesity and depression symptoms.

Objective:
To investigate the comorbidity of screening myopia and scoliosis among primary and secondary school students in Beijing from 2019 to 2022 and its influencing factors, in order to provide new ideas for comprehensive prevention and control of myopia and scoliosis in children and adolescents.
Methods:
From 2019 to 2022, 34 923, 34 321, 36 008 and 35 598 primary and secondary school students in Beijing were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method, and visual acuity examination, scoliosis examination and questionnaire survey were conducted on them. Chisquare test was used to analyze the intergroup differences between screening myopia and scoliosis among primary and secondary school students, and the correlation factors between screening myopia and scoliosis were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.
Results:
From 2019 to 2022, the prevalence of screening myopia increased by year,while scoliosis decreased by year, and the comorbidity rate in 2022 (0.69%) decreased by 1.62% compared with 2019 (2.31%). In 2022, screening myopia with scoliosis rates (0.98%) than urban suburbs (0.50%), high school students (1.65%) >professional high school students (1.21%) >junior middle school students (0.76%) >primary school students (0.22%) (χ2=28.97, 153.55, P<0.01). The results of multivariate Logistic analysis found that insufficient sleep time and parents did not limit the use of electronic screen time were the risk factors for screening myopia and scoliosis [OR(95%CI)=1.59(1.20-2.12), 1.34(1.02-1.76), P<0.05]. Teachers often or always remind that reading and writing posture and one hour or more of moderateintensity physical activity every day were protective factors for screening myopia and scoliosis [OR(95%CI)=0.70(0.52-0.96), 0.56(0.34-0.92), P<0.05].
Conclusions
The comorbidity of acadmic screening myopia and scdiosis is not optimistic in Beijing. Attention should be paid to the reading and writing posture and related behavioral habits of children and adolescents, and ensure that children in each school section have sufficient sleep time, so as to prevent the occurrence and development of screening myopia and scoliosis.

Objective:
To study the correlation between electronic screen use and myopia among primary and secondary school students in six provinces and cities in China, in order to provide a scientific basis for comprehensive prevention and control of myopia.
Methods:
From November 2020 to June 2022, a total of 16 557 primary and secondary school students from six provinces and cities in China (Beijing City, Liaoning Province, Zhejiang Province, Henan Province, Shaanxi Province, Chongqing City) were selected by stratified cluster random sampling and probability smampling methods, and a questionnaire prepared by Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention was used to investigate their electronic screen use. According to Screening Criteria for Myopia in Children and Adolescents, 0.5% mass concentration of compound topicamide eye drops was used to paralyze the ciliary muscle and undergo slit lamp optometry. Chisquare test was used to compare the differences between groups, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between electronic screen use and myopia.
Results:
About 58.3% of primary and secondary school students used electronic screens for more than two hours a day on average, and 63.4% of primary and secondary school students used continuously electronic products for more than 15 minutes at a time for nonstudy purposes. After adjusting for confounding factors, parents unrestricted use of electronic screen time and electronic screen time ≥2 h/d were positively correlated with myopia (OR=1.27, 1.13, P<0.05). Gender stratified analysis showed that boys who used electronic screen time ≥2 h/d had a higher risk of myopia (OR=1.15, P<0.05). The results of grade stratification analysis showed that parents unrestricted electronic screen use time and electronic screen time ≥2 h/d were positively correlated with myopia in the lower grade of primary school students (OR=1.34, 1.18, P<0.05). Among the higher grade of primary school students, continuous use of electronic screens for nonstudy purposes for more than 15 minutes at one time was positively correlated with myopia (OR=1.18, P<0.05). There was a multiplicative interaction between total screen time and one continuous screen time (OR=1.04, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Primary and secondary students in six provinces and cities in China reports excessive electronic screen usage which is associated with myopia. Schools and parents should jointly limit the use of electronic screen among primary and secondary students to reduce the occurrence of myopia.

ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of stroke, and to provide reference for the prevention and health management of stroke. MethodsFrom February 2022 to March 2022, four community residents over 60 years old with stroke in Shanghai were randomly selected as the case group (n=100), and non-stroke residents were selected as the control group (n=100). The survey was in the form of questionnaires to record and compare the age, body mass index (BMI), blood lipids, blood pressure-related indicators, family history of other diseases, living habits, mood and sleep conditions of all subjects. The value of predicting the incidence of stroke among the elderly in Shanghai community was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC), and the influencing factors of stroke were analyzed by logistic model. ResultsBMI, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, transient ischemic attack (TIA), dyslipidemia, family history of stroke, smoking, lack of exercise or only light physical labor, SBP, DBP, TG levels were significantly higher in the case group (P<0.05). The level of HDL-C was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). BMI, SBP, DBP, TG, HDL-C predicted the incidence of stroke by ROC analysis (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI≥23.820 kg·m-2, heart disease, diabetes, TIA, dyslipidemia, family history of stroke, smoking, lack of exercise or only light physical labor, SBP≥139.535 mmHg, DBP≥89.605 mmHg, TG≥1.565 mmol·L-1 and HDL-C≤1.105 mmol·L-1 were risk factors for stroke (P<0.05). ConclusionPhysical health status including blood lipids and blood pressure, family history of certain diseases, and living habits could be important risk factors for stroke in the elderly in Shanghai community. Preventive intervention measures for the above factors have important clinical significance.

Despite exciting achievements with some malignancies, immunotherapy for hypoimmunogenic cancers, especially glioblastoma (GBM), remains a formidable clinical challenge. Poor immunogenicity and deficient immune infiltrates are two major limitations to an effective cancer-specific immune response. Herein, we propose that an injectable signal-amplifying nanocomposite/hydrogel system consisting of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and imiquimod-loaded antigen-capturing nanoparticles can simultaneously amplify the chemotactic signal of antigen-presenting cells and the "danger" signal of GBM. We demonstrated the feasibility of this strategy in two scenarios of GBM. In the first scenario, we showed that this simultaneous amplification system, in conjunction with local chemotherapy, enhanced both the immunogenicity and immune infiltrates in a recurrent GBM model; thus, ultimately making a cold GBM hot and suppressing postoperative relapse. Encouraged by excellent efficacy, we further exploited this signal-amplifying system to improve the efficiency of vaccine lysate in the treatment of refractory multiple GBM, a disease with limited clinical treatment options. In general, this biomaterial-based immune signal amplification system represents a unique approach to restore GBM-specific immunity and may provide a beneficial preliminary treatment for other clinically refractory malignancies.

Objective To investigate the effect of different serum sodium levels on heart function and prognosis in very elderly patients with heart failure. Methods Totally 152 elderly patients(aged ≥ 85 years)with hyponatremia were enrolled.Based on the serum sodium level ,they were divided into mild(125 mmol/L ≤ Na+ < 135 mmol/L) ,moderate(125 mmol/L ≤ Na+ < 135 mmol/L) ,and severe hyponatremia(Na+ < 115 mmol/L)groups ,and 76 patients with normal blood sodium level(Na+ ≥ 135 mmol/L)were selected as control group. The general data ,levels of serum creatinine and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP)and prognosis were compared among the above groups. Results Compared with the control group ,patients with severe hyponatremia were much older ,with more diuretics administration ,higher level of serum creatinine , lowerlevelofeGFRandleftventricularejectionfractions[(38.1±3.9)% vs.(45.2±9.7)% ].There were higher incidences of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease [72.4% (n=21)vs. 56.6% (n=43)] ,diabetes[41.4% (n=12)vs. 23.7% (n=18)] ,chronic renal insufficiency [22.6% (n=8)vs. 11.8% (n=9)] ,stroke[20.6% (n=6)vs. 9.2% (n=7)]in patients with severe hyponatremia compared with other groups. The severe hyponatremia group showed significantly higher levels of NTproBNP [(4823. 9 ± 588. 1 )ng/L v s. (1124. 4 ± 349. 1 )ng/L ,(1836. 2 ± 369. 3 )ng/L ,(2894. 1 ± 687. 3 )ng/L ]and higher rates of mortality [27.6% (n=8) vs.5.3% (n=4) ,7.6% (n=6) ,13.6% (n=6)]as compared to the control group ,mild and moderate hyponatremia groups. Furthermore ,length of stay in hospital were markedly longer in patients with severe hyponatremia than those with mild and moderate hyponatremia[(11.1 ± 7.1)d vs. (19.6 ± 5.7)d ,(16.1 ± 4.2)d] . Conclusions Hyponatremia is a common type of electrolyte disorder in very elderly patients with heart failure ,and severe hyponatremia may predictand increased risk of death.

Non-coding RNAs ( ncRNA ), including ribosomal RNA( rRNA), transfer RNA( tRNA), MicroRNA ( miRNA), long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) and small nucleolar RNA(snoR-NA), are a class of RNA that have multiple functions and are not translated to proteins. MicroRNA and lncRNA are involved in the injury, remodeling and aging of blood vessels, and it is necessary to understand the regulatory roles of MicroRNA and lncRNA in these processes. It is reported that MicroRNA and lncRNA are not only participated in the regulation of oxidative response, inflammation, cell proliferation and migration, and phenotype transition, they are also involved in the regulation of gene expression by conducting different mechanisms, including transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional modification and chromatin remodeling. These aspects of regulation by MicroRNA and lncRNA are related to cardiovascular diseases, such as ath-erosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, pul-monary hypertension and diabetes, and thus provide a new way for genetic diagnosis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases.
