OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vitro anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of oblongifolins A (OA) extracted from Garcinia oblongifolia. METHODS RAW264.7 cells were used as the research subject and divided into control group (0.5% DMSO), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (1 μg/mL), DEX group (10 µmol/L DEX+1 μg/mL LPS), and low-, medium-, and high-concentration groups of OA (7.5, 15, 30 µmol/L OA+1 μg/mL LPS). Except for the control group, the remaining groups were first stimulated with LPS for 1 hour and then mixed with drugs for 24 hours. The morphological changes of cells were observed in each group. The contents of nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-10 were detected in cells of each group; mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were measured. The expression of key proteins in the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathways in each group, as well as the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and Nrf2 proteins in control group, LPS group and OA high-concentration group, were detected. RESULTS Compared to the LPS group, the number of spindle-shaped and irregular cells gradually decreased in OA groups, the contents of NO, ROS (except for OA low-concentration group), TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, the mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 (except for OA low-concentration group) and IL-1β as well as the protein expressions of phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), p-IκBα, and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) were decreased significantly (P<0.05). The contents of IL-4 and IL-10, protein expressions of IκBα, Nrf2 (except for OA low- and medium-concentration groups), HO-1 (except for OA low-concentration group) and NQO1 were all increased significantly (P<0.05). OA of high concentration could inhibit NF-κB p65 protein nuclear translocation and promote Nrf2 protein nuclear translocation. CONCLUSIONS OA can suppress LPS-induced inflammation in RAW264.7 macrophages. The underlying molecular mechanism likely entails the inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway, the activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway and the reduction of ROS and inflammatory factor release.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(5):727-731
Objective:
To study the impact of sleep characteristics on myopia, among lower primary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide foundation for the prevention of the onset and development of myopia.
Methods:
A total of 636 students from the first and second grades of two primary schools in Jiading District, Shanghai, were selected through cluster random sampling for questionnaire surveys and ophthalmological examinations in October 2022. The Childrens Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep quality at baseline. Ophthalmological examinations were conducted in October 2023(479), during which the students study time, screen time and outdoor activity time were monitored for twoweek, repeated twice. Generalized multivariable Logistic regression models and linear regression models were employed to examine the association between sleeprelated factors and myopia, as well as the strength of this association.
Results:
The baseline survey indicated a myopia prevalence of 18.58%, with 17.18% at followup. The average CSHQ total score was (51.58±4.44), and the average daily sleep duration was (9.43±4.84)h/d, with only 11.6% of participants meeting the recommended sleep sufficiency. Multivariable regression models indicated that insufficient sleep showed positive association with myopia (OR=1.64, 95%CI=1.05-2.56), while bedtime duration was significantly negative associated with myopia (OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.63-0.91, P<0.05), adjusting for confounding factors. Inconsistency in bed rest time was a risk factor for myopia (OR=1.07, P<0.05), and the consistency of bed rest time, and wakeup time showed statistically significant correlations with SE (P<0.05). There was also statistically significant correlations between consistency in sleep time, bed rest time, and wakeup time with AL (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Insufficient sleep and bedtime duration are correlated with the onset and progression of myopia. It is critical to ensure sufficient sleep duration and regular sleep habits for children to reduce the occurrence of myopia in the primary school students.

Objective:
To develop a method that can continuously monitor duration of students outdoor activities for a long time, so as to provide data support for the relationship between outdoor activity duration and students health.
Methods:
From April 28 to July 6, 2022, 1 168 students from a primary school in Shenzhen were selected. Fixed cameras were placed on the top of school classrooms, corridors and critical paths were used to identify student data and duration in the picture. And AI, cloud computing and other methods were used to measure students-non-classroom time instead of outdoor activity time in school.
Results:
The average length of time spend on outdoor activities in school of the 24 pilot classes were 67.6-113.0 min, and showed a downward trend by grade ( F =42.74, P <0.05). The duration of outdoor activities among students was negatively correlated with the detection rate of myopia and overweight( r =-0.74, -0.45, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The data on outdoor activity time calculated by AI image recognition is basically in line with the reality. Monitoring students outdoor activity time at school through AI image recognition is feasible and popularized.

Objective:To compare the outcomes of watch&wait (W&W) strategy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who achieved complete clinical response (cCR) after neoadjuvant therapy, with those who obtained pathological complete response (pCR) after total mesorectal excision (TME).Methods:This is a retrospective cohort analysis study. Patients histologically proven with locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma (stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ) who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy were eligible between January 2014 and December 2019. In whom we included patients who had cCR offered management with W&W strategy after completing neoadjuvant therapy and follow-up ≥1 year (W&W group), and patients who did not have cCR but pCR after TME (pCR group). The primary endpoints were 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS), colostomy-free survival (CFS), disease-free survival (DFS), non-local regrowth disease-free survival (NR-DFS), and organ preservation rate. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for survival analysis and log-rank test was performed. For comparative analysis, we also derived one-to-one paired cohorts of W&W versus pCR using propensity-score matching (PSM).Results:A total of 118 patients were enrolled, 49 of whom had cCR and managed by W&W, 69 had pCR, with a median follow-up period of 49.5 months (12.1-79.9 months). No difference was observed in the 3-year OS (97.1% vs. 96.7%) and 5-year OS (93.8% vs. 90.9%, P=0.696) between the W&W and pCR groups. Patients managed by W&W had significantly better 3-year and 5-year CFS (89.1% vs. 43.5%, P<0.001), better 3-year DFS (83.6% vs. 97.0%) and 5-year DFS (83.6% vs. 91.2%, P=0.047) compared with those achieving pCR. The 3-year NR-DFS (95.9% vs. 97.0%) and 5-year NR-DFS (92.8% vs. 97.0%, P=0.407) did not significantly differ between the W&W and pCR groups. Local regeneration occurred in six cases, and 87.7% of patients had successful rectum preservation in the W&W group. In the PSM analysis (34 patients in each group), absolutely better CFS (90.1% vs. 26.5%, P<0.001) was noted in the W&W group. A median interval of 17.5 weeks was observed for achieving cCR, while only 23.9% of patients achieved cCR within 5 to 12 weeks from radiation completion. Patients with short-course sequential chemoradiotherapy achieved cCR significantly later when compared with those with long-course concurrent chemoradiotherapy (19.0 vs. 9.8 weeks, P<0.001). Conclusions:The oncological outcomes of W&W strategy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer are safe and effective, significantly improving the quality of life. Longer interval for cCR evaluation may improve rectal organ preservation rate.

Objective:To explore the motion and influencing factors of implanted gold markers in guiding liver stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using abdominal compression.Methods:Twenty patients with oligometastatic colorectal cancer or primary hepatocellular carcinoma from January 2016 to December 2019 were included. All patients were treated with SBRT under abdominal compression, with 1-3 gold markers were implanted within 2 cm from the lesion before positioning. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) scan was used for treatment planning. The respiratory cycle was divided into 0-90% respiratory phase images based on the respiratory signal, which were reconstructed by the system (Pinnacle 3 version 9.1; Philips Medical System, Madison, WI, USA), and cone beam CT validation images before radiation exposure were obtained. The liver volume was divided into 3 parts: within 2 cm from the main hepatic portal vein, 2-5 cm from the main hepatic portal vein, and>5 cm from the main hepatic portal vein. The motion of different tumor locations was evaluated. Results:The average intrafractional motion amplitude was (2.63±2.81) mm in the cranial-caudal (CC) direction, (1.35±1.23) mm in the anterior-posterior (AP) direction, and (0.76±0.88) mm in the left-right (LR) direction, respectively. The average interfractional motion amplitude was (3.45±3.06) mm, (2.64±2.60) mm, and (2.23±2.07) mm, respectively. Both the intra-or inter-fractional motion amplitudes in the CC direction were the highest, followed by those in the AP and LR direction (all P<0.001). The motion varied at different tumor locations. The longer distance from the main hepatic portal vein, the larger the intrafractional motion (all P<0.05). To cover the 95% population-based confidence interval, the internal target volume (ITV) was suggested to include the expansion of 3.9 mm, 5.2 mm and 7.9 mm in the LR, AP and CC direction. The expansion of 4.3 mm, 4.4 mm and 6.1 mm was delivered within 2 cm from the main hepatic portal vein, and 3.5 mm, 7.3 mm and 9.7 mm>5 cm from the main hepatic portal vein, respectively. The expansion varied significantly depending on the tumor location, whereas the motion in the CC direction was the largest regardless of the tumor location. The longer distance of the tumor from the main portal vein, the larger expansion in the CC direction. The expansion of tumor > 5 cm from the main portal vein in the AP direction was larger than that of inner parts. Conclusion:Liver tumors at different locations require individual external expansion of ITV.

Objective:To verify the capability of small intestinal capsule endoscopy with intelligent assistant system based on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in the identification and diagnosis of small intestinal bleeding.Methods:A total of 158 235 small intestinal capsule endoscopy images of 1 970 patients were collected from ESView platform (including 3 765 images of 165 patients with small intestinal bleeding) for training of DCNN-based small intestinal capsule endoscopy with intelligent assistant system. In the validation phase, the capability of the system in identification and diagnosis of small intestinal bleeding was verified by images of 100 patients with small intestinal bleeding (10 cases of active bleeding, 31 cases of blood clot and 59 cases of submucosal hemorrhage).Results:Small intestinal bleeding lesions could be identified by the DCNN-based intelligent assistant system, and also could be displayed with mark on the original capsule endoscopy images. This system also could mark multiple bleeding images of the same lesion and multiple different bleeding lesions in the same image. With this system the average reading time of 100 cases of small intestinal bleeding of images the doctors used was (5.23±1.31) minutes per case. The sensitivity of the diagnosis of small intestinal bleeding was 99.00% (95% confidence interval 93.76% to 99.95%).Conclusions:The sensitivity of small intestinal bleeding identification by small intestinal capsule endoscopy with DCNN-based intelligent assistant system is high, which can be used to assist image reading doctors to identify and diagnose of small intestinal bleeding.
