Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):315-320
Objective:
To analyze the change trends in the body shape indicators and proportions of students in Harbin from 2010 to 2024, and to investigate ergonomic compatibility of functional dimensions of school desks and chairs with current student shape indicators, so as to provide a reference for revising furniture standards of desks and chairs.
Methods:
Between September and November of both 2010 and 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was conducted across three districts in Harbin, yielding samples of 6 590 and 6 252 students, respectively. Anthropometric shape indicators cluding height, sitting height, crus length, and thigh length-and their proportional changes were compared over the 15-year period. The 2024 data were compared with current standard functional dimensions of school furniture. The statistical analysis incorporated t-test and Mann-Whitney U- test.
Results:
From 2010 to 2024, average height increased by 1.8 cm for boys and 1.5 cm for girls; sitting height increased by 1.5 cm for both genders; crus length increased by 0.3 cm for boys and 0.4 cm for girls; and thigh length increased by 0.5 cm for both genders. The ratios of sitting height to height, and sitting height to leg length increased by less than 0.1 . The difference between desk chair height and 1/3 sitting height ranged from 0.4-0.8 cm. Among students matched with size 0 desks and chairs, 22.0% had a desk to chair height difference less than 0, indicating that the desk to chair height difference might be insufficient for taller students. The differences between seat height and fibular height ranged from -1.4 to 1.1 cm; and the differences between seat depth and buttock popliteal length ranged from -9.8 to 3.4 cm. Among obese students, the differences between seat width and 1/2 hip circumference ranged from -20.5 to -8.7 cm, while it ranged from -12.2 to -3.8 cm among non obese students.
Conclusion
Current furniture standards basically satisfy hygienic requirements; however, in the case of exceptionally tall and obese students, ergonomic accommodations such as adaptive seating allocation or personalized adjustments are recommended to meet hygienic requirements.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of injury deaths and its disease burden in Taizhou City from 2009 to 2022, and to provide a basis for the prevention and control of injury. MethodsBased on the injury death surveillance data of Taizhou City from 2009 to 2022, the age-specific and sex-specific mortality rates, as well as the standardized mortality rates after adjusting China’s standardized population age of residents in Taizhou City were calculated. The crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, average years of life lost(AYLL), potential years of life lost (PYLL) and potential years of life lost rate (PYLLR) were calculated using Excel 2013 software. Joinpoint 4.2 software was used to estimate the annual percentage change (APC) and analyze the trends of injury mortality and PYLLR from 2009 to 2022. ResultsFrom 2009 to 2022, the standardized mortality rate of injuries in Taizhou City showed a decreasing trend (APC=-4.876%, P<0.001), with a mortality rate of 64.38/100 000 and a standardized mortality rate of 66.68/100 000. There was a statistically significant difference in injury deaths by genders (χ2=7 520.153, P<0.001). From 2009 to 2022, the PYLL and AYLL caused by injuries in Taizhou City were 587 518 person years and 21.91 years, respectively, with a PYLLR of 7.72%. The PYLLR of injuries showed a decreasing trend (APC=-7.454%, P<0.001), in addition, the PYLLR in urban(APC=-7.123%), rural areas (APC=-10.193%), males (APC=-7.595%) and females (APC=-7.046%) all showed a decreasing trend, all differences were statistically significant(all P<0.001). The top five causes of injury deaths leading to PYLL were traffic accident, drowning, accidental fall, suicide and accidental poisoning. ConclusionIn the last decade, injury has been a major cause leading to premature death among residents in Taizhou, with a higher mortality rate in males than that in females, and different injury characteristics caused by different types of injuries. It is necessary to take targeted injury prevention and intervention measures for different key population groups to effectively reduce the disease burden caused by injury deaths.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents is a serious global public health issue. Self-stigma is identified as a key factor hindering adolescents from seeking professional psychological help, while only a few studies have dealt with the self-stigma in adolescents with mood disorder exhibiting NSSI behavior. ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors of self-stigma among adolescents with mood disorder who exhibit NSSI behavior, and to examine the chained mediation role of self-esteem and social avoidance/distress in the relationship between NSSI behavior and self-stigma, with the aim of providing references for the detection and intervention of self-stigma in such patients. MethodsA total of 220 consecutive adolescent patients with mood disorder who met "the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition"(ICD-10) diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder or depressive episode of bipolar disorder and attended the Fourth People's Hospital of Wuhu from November 2022 to November 2023 were recruited. The Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSAQ), Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) Scale, Self-Esteem Scale (SES), and Social Avoidance/Distress Scale (SADS) were employed to assess the participants. Correlation among variables was evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Multivariate linear regression analysis was utilized to identify the factors influencing self-stigma among adolescent patients with mood disorder exhibiting NSSI. The proposed mediating hypotheses were tested using Model 6 in the SPSS Process macro (version 3.0). ResultsValid responses were received from 204/220 (92.73%) participants, including 153 cases with NSSI and 51 cases without NSSI. The NSSI (vs. no NSSI) group reported significantly higher scores on ISMI and SADS (t=-5.187, -4.564, P<0.01), and lower scores on SES (t=4.478, P<0.01). In the NSSI group, the total score of ISMI demonstrated a positive correlation with the total score of SADS and the behavioral questionnaire score in ANSAQ (r=0.644, 0.316, P<0.01), and a negative correlation with the total score of SES (r=-0.724, P<0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that NSSI severity (β=0.132, P<0.05) and social avoidance/distress (β=0.309, P<0.01) were found to be positive predictors of the self-stigma, whereas self-esteem (β=-0.493, P<0.01) was a significant negative predictor of the self-stigma. Additionally, self-esteem and social avoidance/distress partially mediated the relationship between NSSI and self-stigma, with a mediating effect of 0.237 (95% CI: 0.103~0.374), which constituted 55.89% of the total effect. The mediating effect included two paths: NSSI behavior→self-esteem→self-stigma (effect size was 0.163, 95% CI: 0.069~0.273) and NSSI behavior→self-esteem→social avoidance/distress→self-stigma (effect size was 0.063, 95% CI: 0.020~0.119). ConclusionThe severity of NSSI can affect self-stigma in adolescents with mood disorders either directly through mediating self-esteem or indirectly through the chained mediation path of self-esteem and social avoidance/distress.[Funded by Scientific Research Projects of Wuhu Fourth People's Hospital in 2000(number,kjxm202203)]

Lianggesan was first recorded in Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang, which was composed of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Natrii Sulfas, Gardeniae Fructus, Forsythiae Fructus, Scutellariae Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma(GRR), Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, Lophatheri Herba and Mel. It was clinically applied to treat fire-heat syndrome in the upper and middle Jiao, and the curative effect was positive. In this study, the bibliometric method was used to conduct a detailed textual research on the formula name, medicinal composition, dosage evolution, origin and processing, functional indications and other aspects of Lianggesan. Research revealed that Lianggesan has six other names, such as Lianqiao Yinzi, Lianqiao Jiedusan, Jufang Lianggesan, Jiegu Lianggesan, Hejian Lianggesan and Qingji Lianggesan. Based on the edition of Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang, an analysis of the evolution of its formula composition revealed that the missing Chinese medicines were predominantly bamboo leaves and honey, while the added Chinese medicines were primarily supplements introduced to address changes in disease manifestations. After textual research, the dosage for one dose of Lianggesan from Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang was as follows:826 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 826 g of Natrii Sulfas, 826 g of GRR, 413 g of Gardeniae Fructus, 413 g of Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, 413 g of Scutellariae Radix, and 1652 g of Forsythiae Fructus. Decocting method was as following:Grinding the Chinese medicines into coarse powder(2-4 mm), taking 8.16 g per dose, adding 300 mL of water, along with 2 g of Lophatheri Herba and 5 g of Mel, and decocting to 140 mL. The residue was removed and taken warmly 30 min after meals. It was recommended to take it three times daily until improvement was achieved. The origins of the 9 Chinese medicines were consistent with the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Except for GRR, which required single frying(stir-frying), the remaining medicines were all raw products. The description of the function of this formula in ancient books was summarized as purging fire and promoting bowel movements, clearing heat from the upper body and purging the lower body, and the main syndromes included facial redness, tongue swelling, red eyes, etc. In modern applications, the formula is primarily used for respiratory and digestive system diseases, including acute lung injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, herpetic angina and aphthous stomatitis, covering 142 types of diseases. In summary, this paper can provide a basis for further research and development of Lianggesan through the literature review and key information combing.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a series of perioperative optimization measures based on evidence-based medicine aimed at achieving rapid recovery. Existing studies have shown that ERAS can effectively reduce surgical stress, decrease the incidence of complications, shorten hospital stays, save medical costs, and improve patient satisfaction. Although lung transplantation techniques have become increasingly mature, lung transplant recipients still have a high incidence of complications during perioperative period. To further improve the perioperative survival rate of lung transplant recipients, introducing ERAS concept into the perioperative management strategy of lung transplantation is of great significance for reducing incidence of perioperative complications, promoting rapid recovery and long-term survival of lung transplant recipients. This article discusses the advances in application of ERAS concept in the perioperative management of lung transplantation, aiming to provide references for optimizing the perioperative management of lung transplant recipients and reducing perioperative complications.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition levels of children aged 8 - 10 and pregnant women in iodine deficient areas and iodine adequate areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Inner Mongolia for short), and to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:From March to July 2022, iodine nutrition analysis was conducted in iodine deficient areas and iodine adequate areas of 104 banners (counties, cities and districts) in 12 league cities in Inner Mongolia. Each monitoring banner (county, city and district) was divided into five sampling areas by east, west, south, north, and center, with one Sumu (township, street) selected from each area. One primary school was selected from each Sumu (township, street), and 40 non-boarding students aged 8 - 10 were selected from each primary school. One third of the students underwent thyroid ultrasound examination. Twenty pregnant women were selected from each of the 5 Sumus (townships, streets) in each monitoring banner (county, city and district). Household salt samples and random urine samples of children and pregnant women were collected to detect salt iodine and urinary iodine levels.Results:In 2022, the median thyroid volume of children aged 8 - 10 in iodine deficient areas and iodine adequate areas of Inner Mongolia was 2.44 ml, and the goiter rate was 1.89% (123/6 496). There were statistically significant differences in thyroid volume and goiter rate between different league cities ( H = 1 229.05, χ 2 = 34.13, P < 0.001). The coverage rate of iodized salt in 12 league cities was 98.51% (30 628/31 090), the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 94.42% (29 355/31 090), and the median salt iodine was 22.80 mg/kg. The median urinary iodine of children ( n = 20 968) was 195.00 μg/L, among which the median urinary iodine in 7 league cities was at the appropriate level of iodine nutrition (100 - 199 μg/L), and the median urinary iodine in 5 league cities was at the level of iodine nutrition exceeding the appropriate level (200 - 299 μg/L). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women ( n = 10 122) was 168.00 μg/L, among which, except for Bayannur (149.18 μg/L), the median urinary iodine in other 11 league cities was at the appropriate level of iodine nutrition (150 - 249 μg/L). Conclusions:The overall iodine nutrition of children and pregnant women in Inner Mongolia is at an appropriate level, but some pregnant women still face the risk of iodine deficiency. In the future, the focus of iodine deficiency disorders prevention and control should be on iodine nutrition monitoring for special needs populations.
