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.

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.

BackgroundPatients with depressive disorder commonly experience sleep disturbances. Previous studies have indicated that group exercise therapy is beneficial in alleviating depressive symptom among patients with depressive disorder. However, there is a lack of research on the impact of group exercise therapy on improving sleep quality in patients with depressive disorder. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of group exercise therapy on sleep quality in patients with acute mild-to-moderate depression during the acute phase, so as to provide references for clinically improving the sleep quality of patients with mild to moderate depressive disorder during the acute phase. MethodsFrom December 2018 to July 2021, patients with mild-to-moderate depressive disorder during the acute phase (n=40), who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder according to International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) ,were recruited from the outpatient clinic of Beijing Anding Hospital, Capital Medical University. All participants underwent an 8-week moderate-intensity group exercise therapy program comprising three sessions per week, each lasting 60 minutes. Assessments were conducted at baseline and after 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of intervention using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The reduction scores at each time point relative to baseline treated as the dependent variables, time as the independent variable, baseline scores as covariates, with time as a fixed effect and baseline values as random effects. Data were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. ResultsThe PSQI scores of patients at baseline, 2, 4 , 6 and 8 weeks after the intervention were (10.62±5.12), (9.07±3.58), (7.39±3.66), (6.54±3.84) and (5.50±3.41), respectively. The results of linear mixed effect model analysis showed that after 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of intervention, patients scored lower than baseline, with statistically significant differences observed in all cases (P<0.01). The HAMD-17 sleep fcctor scores at baseline, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks were (2.25±1.56), (2.06±1.49), (1.36±1.27), (1.22±1.46) and (0.97±1.34), respectively. The results of linear mixed effects model analysis showed that the HAMD-17 sleep factor scores of 4, 6 and 8 weeks of intervention were lower than that of baseline, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 or 0.01). The VAS scores at baseline, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the intervention were (3.18±2.17), (4.74±2.22), (6.01±2.31), (6.54±2.16) and (7.90±1.64), respectively. The results of linear mixed effect model analysis showed that VAS scores of 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of intervention were higher than baseline,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). ConclusionGroup exercise therapy may improve sleep quality and alleviate depressive symptoms in patients with mild-to-moderate depressive disorder during the acute phase.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with epilepsy caused by focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), and identify the influencing factors for postoperative seizure controls.Methods:Fifty-seven patients with epilepsy caused by FCD admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2019 to November 2023 were chosen; standard preoperative evaluation, surgery, postoperative management and follow-up were performed. A retrospective study of clinical data, imaging and video electroencephalogram (VEEG) data, surgical approaches, pathological findings, and follow-up data was performed; influencing factors for postoperative seizure controls were analyzed.Results:In these 57 patients with epilepsy caused by FCD, 29 were males (50.88%) and 28 were females (49.12%). Onset age was 30.00 (8.00, 74.50) months, and surgery age was 95.00 (50.00, 138.50) months. Focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (42/57; 73.68%) and epileptic spasms (13/57; 22.81%) were common seizure types. Cranial MRI was positive in 34 patients (59.65%), mainly manifested as abnormal cortical gyri/sulci morphology (17/57; 29.82%). In 43 patients accepted PET-CT, hypometabolic sites were detected in 40 (93.02%), and complete agreement between PET/MRI fusion results and actual lesion sites was noted in 40 (93.02%). FCD type I was noted in 16 patients (28.07%), type II in 39 (68.42%), and type III in 2 (3.51%). By December 2023, 44 (77.19%) had Engel grading I, 4 (7.02%) had grading II, 4 (7.02%) had grading III, and 5 (8.77%) had grading IV. Children with good prognosis (Engel grading I+II) and those with poor prognosis (Engel grading III+IV) showed significant differences in terms of time from first seizure to surgery, positive/negative MRI, and regularity of postoperative ASMs ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure is the most common seizure type in patients with epilepsy caused by FCD, and abnormal cortical gyri/sulci morphology is the most common MRI manifestation; PET/MRI fusion imaging is superior to PET-CT or MRI in identifying epileptogenic foci. Poor seizure control can be noted in patients with long onset time to surgery, with negative cranial MRI results, or with irregular postoperative ASMs.

7.Research status of virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery
Chinese Journal of Plastic Surgery 2024;40(1):124-128
Orthognathic surgery is a classic procedure to correct dentomaxillofacial deformities. Due to the complexity of the dentomaxillofacial anatomy, detailed and accurate surgical planning is usually required before the operation. With the rapid development of medical imaging technologies and surgical planning softwares in recent years, virtual surgical planning(VSP) has been increasingly applied in orthognathic surgery to provide more accurate, efficient and predictable planning and simulation. The design and development of VSP in orthognathic surgery involves image acquisition and composite head model construction, three-dimensional reference frame definition, virtual occlusion setup, virtual osteotomy and surgical simulation, soft tissue prediction and transfer tools. This paper summarizes the research of related steps for clinical reference.
