Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):18-23
Objective:
To analyze the status of outdoor activities on weekends among children and adolescents of different educational stages in Shanghai and their impact on myopia, so as to provide a basis for formulating more specific prevention and control protocol of myopia.
Methods:
From September to October 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 84 schools (27 kindergartens, 21 primary schools, 15 junior high schools and 21 high schools) across Shanghai, enrolling a total of 28 654 children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 for the study. Ophthalmic examinations were conducted to ascertain the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents. Additionally, a questionnaire survey was administered to collect data on outdoor activity duration and associated factors. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was utilized to investigate the associated factors of outdoor activity levels on weekends.
Results:
The overall myopia detection rate among children and adolescents was 58.4%, with a higher rate observed in girls (59.2%) compared to boys (57.6%). The myopia detection rates for children and adolescents with an average daily outdoor activity duration of ≥2 h and <2 h on weekends were 54.6% and 68.8%, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=8.12,460.89, P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis revealed that girls ( OR =0.80), those with a myopic parent ( OR =0.68), schools from urban districts ( OR =0.72), higher education stages (primary school: OR =0.65, junior high school: OR =0.24, high school: OR =0.14) and spending≥2 h/d on homework during weekends ( OR =0.57) among children and adolescents were less likely to engage in outdoor activities for ≥2 h on weekends ( P <0.01). After incorporating gender, parental myopia status, educational stage, school location, average daily duration on weekends for spending on homework, electronic product usage and outdoor activities as dependent variables in a multivariate Logistic regression analysis, the results showed that children and adolescents with an average outdoor activity duration for ≥2 h on weekends had a lower risk of myopia ( OR =0.86, P < 0.01).
Conclusions
The level of outdoor activity among children and adolescents on weekends needs to be improved. Outdoor activities on weekends is an associated factor for myopia among children and adolescents. Particularly, girls, those with myopic parents, schools from urban districts, and spending long hours on homework during weekends among children and adolescents require increased attention.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):24-28
Objective:
To investigate the visual acuity and correction conditions of children and adolescents in Shanghai, so as to provide a scientific basis for developing intervention measures to prevent myopia and protect vision among children and adolescents.
Methods:
From October to December 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling survey was conducted, involving 47 034 students from 16 municipal districts in Shanghai, covering kindergartens (≥5 years), primary schools, middle schools, general high schools and vocational high schools. According to the Guidelines for Screening Refractive Errors in Primary and Secondary School Students, the Standard Logarithmic Visual acuity Chart was used to examine naked vision and corrected vision of students, and general information was collected. The distribution and severity of visual impairment in different age groups were analyzed, and χ 2 tests and multivariate Logistic regression were used to explore factors associated with visual impairment.
Results:
The detection rate of visual impairment among children and adolescents was 76.2%, with a higher rate among females (78.8%) than males ( 73.8 %), higher among Han ethic students ( 76.2 %) than minority students (71.2%), and higher among urban students (76.7%) than suburban students (75.8%), all with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=162.6, 10.4, 5.5, P <0.05). The rate of visual impairment initially decreased and then increased with age, reaching its lowest at age 7 (53.8%) and peaking at age 17 (89.6%) ( χ 2 trend = 3 467.0 , P <0.05). Severe visual impairment accounted for the majority, at 56.6%, and there was a positive correlation between the severity of visual impairment and age among children and adolescents ( r =0.45, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that age, BMI, gender, ethnicity and urban suburban status were associated with visual impairment ( OR =1.18, 1.01, 1.38 , 0.79, 0.88, P <0.05). Among those with moderate to severe visual impairment, the rate of spectacle lens usage was 62.8%, yet only 44.8 % of those who used spectacle lens had fully corrected visual acuity. Females (64.9%) had higher spectacle lens usage rates than males (60.6%), and general high school students had the highest spectacle lens usage (83.9%), and there were statistically significant differences in gender and academic stages ( χ 2=57.7, 4 592.8, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The rate of spectacle lens usage among students with moderate to severe visual impairment is relatively low, and even after using spectacle lens, some students still do not achieve adequate corrected visual acuity. Efforts should focus on enhancing public awareness of eye health and refractive correction and improving the accessibility of related health services.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of abnormal increase of plasma water-soluble vitamins in patients with parenteral nutrition(PN).Methods A total of 862 hospitalized patients receiving nutritional diagnosis and treatment were enrolled.Daily water-soluble vitamin supply and total urine output were monitored.If patients underwent renal replacement therapy(RRT),the ultrafiltration volume was recorded.Plasma concentrations of nine water-soluble vitamins(Vit-C,B1,B2,B3,B5,B6,B7,B9 and B12)were measured.According to the test results,patients were divided into the accumulation group and the non-accumulation group.Renal function(BUN,Cr,UA),inflammatory indicators(CRP,WBC,NEU,SII)and nutritional indicators(ALB,PA,Hb,LYM)were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for the accumulation of water-soluble vitamins.Results There was a high incidence of abnormal plasma water-soluble vitamin levels,including Vit-B2(36.08%),Vit-B6(16.01%)and Vit-B5(13.81%).Compared with the non-accumulation group,the Vit-B2 accumulation group had higher levels of age,BUN,Cr,UA and NEU,and lower levels of ALB,PA and urine volume.The Vit-B5 accumulation group had higher levels of BUN,Cr,UA and NEU,and lower levels of LYM,Hb,ALB,PA and urine volume.Patients in the Vit-B6 accumulation group was older,with increased levels of BUN,Cr and UA,and decreased levels of LYM,Hb,ALB,urine volume and vitamin intake(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the elevated level of BUN was independent risk factors for Vit-B2 accumulation,the elevated BUN and reduced urine volume were independent risk factors for Vit-B5 accumulation,and elevated BUN and Cr,as well as reduced urine volume,were independent risk factors for Vit-B6 accumulation.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for BUN in predicting Vit-B2,B5 and B6 accumulation were 0.659(95%CI:0.620-0.697),0.728(95%CI:0.675-0.781)and 0.785(95%CI:0.738-0.831),respectively,with high specificity but low sensitivity.Conclusion The serum levels of water-soluble vitamins are affected by renal function.When implementing parenteral nutrition water-soluble vitamins supplementation,the patient's renal function status should be evaluated,and the risk of abnormal elevation of Vit-B2,B5 and B6 should be vigilantly monitored.

Objective:To investigate genetic findings and pregnancy outcomes in fetuses with omphalocele.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed data from 502 fetuses with prenatally diagnosed omphalocele who underwent genetic testing at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center and Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between January 2014 and March 2024. Testing methods included karyotyping, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, and whole-exome sequencing (WES). Cases were categorized as non-isolated ( n=340) or isolated ( n=162) based on ultrasound findings. Differences in genetic abnormality detection rates and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test, independent samples t-test, and Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test). Results:Among 502 fetuses, karyotyping plus CMA detected chromosomal abnormalities in 223 cases (44.4%, 223/502), including trisomy 18 (57.0%, 127/223) and trisomy 13 (23.3%, 52/223). CMA additionally identified nine pathogenic copy number variations (1.8%, 9/502) and five uniparental disomies (1.0%, 5/502), increasing the total diagnostic yield from 44.4% to 47.2%. The genetic abnormality rate was significantly lower in isolated (14.8%, 24/162) versus non-isolated omphalocele (64.7%, 220/340) ( χ2=109.34, P<0.001). WES detected variants in nine of 16 karyotype/CMA-negative cases, including five pathogenic variants involving PIK3CA and CDKN1C. Eight imprinting disorders (1.6%, 8/502) were identified, including five Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome cases. Among 499 cases with follow-up, 401 (80.4%, 401/499) underwent pregnancy termination. Live birth rate was higher in isolated versus non-isolated groups [42.5% (69/162) vs. 8.5% (29/340), χ2=77.67, P<0.001]. Three cases were lost to follow-up. The one-year survival rate was 93.9% (92/98) in live-born infants. Conclusion:Aneuploidy (particularly trisomy 18) is the primary genetic etiology of omphalocele. CMA and WES significantly improve diagnostic yield. Isolated omphalocele has a more favorable prognosis, while non-isolated cases show significantly higher genetic abnormality rates. A stratified testing strategy is recommended: karyotyping plus CMA for isolated cases and prioritization of WES for multiple anomalies.

Objective:To compare the clinical and laboratory characteristics and survival between Chinese and Western patients with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) .Methods:Clinical and laboratory data were collected from 1,464 primary adult patients diagnosed with MDS at the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital from August 2016 to June 2024. Collected data were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 2,191 patients from the International Working Group for the Prognosis of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (IWG-PM) .Results:Chinese patients were significantly younger (median age: 56 years vs. 72 years, P<0.001) and experienced more severe hematopenia ( P<0.001) compared with patients from the IWG-PM. Further, Chinese patients exhibited a higher percentage of isolated del (20q), +8, and complex karyotypes as well as a lower percentage of normal karyotypes, del (5q), and -Y ( P<0.001). Higher U2AF1, NRAS, and NPM1 mutation rates and lower ASXL1, SF3B1, and RUNX1 mutation rates were observed in Chinese patients than in participants from the IWG-PM ( P<0.05). No significant difference in overall survival (OS) was found between the two groups (median OS: 48 [95% CI: 40 - 56]months, vs. 45[95% CI: 40 - 49] months; P=0.449). Among participants aged ≤45 years, Chinese patients demonstrated more trisomy 8 ( P=0.070) and U2AF1 mutation ( P<0.001) and higher 4-year OS rate compared with those from the IWG-PM (75.5% vs. 62.1%, P=0.001). Among participants aged ≥70 years, Chinese patients exhibited more complex karyotypes but fewer del (5q) as well as more NPM1 but less SF3B1 and TET2 compared with those from the IWG-PM ( P<0.05). Chinese patients demonstrated shorter survival (median OS: 20 [95% CI: 13 - 27] months vs. 37 [95% CI: 32 - 42] months, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Chinese and Western MDS patients differ in age of onset, clinical features, and cytogenetic or molecular genetic abnormalities, with significant differences persisting in age-matched groups. Although the OS is similar, disparities exist in survival for younger and older patients between the two populations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, laboratory, and prognostic features of myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS) patients harboring acute myeloid leukemia (AML) -like mutations.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed clinical, molecular, and outcome data from 1 464 adults with primary MDS diagnosed at the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital from August 2016 to June 2024.Results:AML-like mutations were detected in 64 patients (4.4% ). Compared with patients without AML-like mutations, those with AML-like mutations were younger [median 50 ( IQR 39–60) vs 56 (45, 65) years; P=0.001], more often female (51.6% vs 35.4% ; P=0.009), had higher bone marrow blast percentage [6.5% (3.0%, 10.5% ) vs 2.5% (1.0%, 7.0% ) ; P<0.001], a higher rate of normal karyotype (75.0% vs 48.1% ; P<0.001), and lower hemoglobin levels [73 (67, 82) g/L vs 80 (66, 98) g/L; P=0.006]. The AML-like group had a higher number of gene mutations than the non-AML-like group [3 ( IQR 2–4) vs 2 (1, 3) ; P<0.001). It was enriched for mutations in NPM1, DNMT3A, WT1, PTPN11, NRAS, BCOR, FLT3, CEBPA, and MYC (all P<0.05) and had lower rates of U2AF1, ASXL1, and TP53 mutations (all P<0.05). Overall survival (OS) did not differ between groups ( P=0.730) ; however, the AML-like group had significantly shorter leukemia-free survival (LFS) [19 months (95% CI: 13–25) vs 46 months (95% CI: 38–54) ; P=0.012] and a higher 2-year cumulative incidence of AML transformation [ (41.7±9.1) % vs (10.4±1.1) % ; P<0.001]. Within the AML-like group, OS, LFS, and cumulative incidence of AML transformation did not differ between patients with low blasts and those with excess blasts (IB). Multivariable Cox regression identified age ≥60 years and PTPN11 mutations as independent adverse prognostic factors for OS, while DNMT3A, PTPN11, and FLT3 mutations independently predicted leukemic transformation. Conclusions:MDS patients harboring AML-like mutations exhibit distinct clinical and molecular features and a higher risk of progression to AML.
