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 investigate the application efficiency and potential of CT radiomics in differentiating malignant and benign sub-centimeter solid pulmonary nodules. Methods A retrospective study was performed on the sub-centimeter ( ≤ 10 mm) solid pulmonary nodules detected by enhanced CT in our hospital from March 2020 to January 2023. Malignancy was confirmed by surgical pathology, and benignity was confirmed by surgical pathology or follow-up. Lesions were manually segmented and radiomic features were extracted. The feature dimension was reduced via feature correlation analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). The 5-fold cross validation was used to validate the model. Support vector machine, logistic regression, linear classification support vector machine, gradient boosting, and random forest models were established for CT radiomics. Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn. Delong test was used to compare the diagnostic performance of the five classifiers. The optimal model was selected and compared to radiologists with medium and high seniority. Results A total of 303 nodules, 136 of which were malignant, were examined. Radiomics models were established after feature extraction and selection. On test set, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of support vector machine, logistic regression, linear classification support vector machine, random forest, and gradient boosting models were 0.922 (95%CI: 0.893, 0.950), 0.910 (95%CI: 0.878, 0.942), 0.905 (95%CI: 0.872, 0.938), 0.899 (95%CI: 0.865, 0.933), and 0.896 (95%CI: 0.862, 0.930), respectively. Delong test indicated no significant differences in the performance of the five radiomics models, and the support vector machine model showed the highest accuracy and F1 score. The support vector machine model showed significantly higher diagnostic accuracy as compared to radiologists (83.8% vs. 55.4%, P < 0.001). Conclusion The radiomics models achieved high diagnostic efficiency and may help to reduce the uncertainty in diagnosis of malignant and benign sub-centimeter solid nodules by radiologists.

Objective:To analyze the current status of utilization behavior of basic public health services among elderly migrants in China and to explore its association with social capital.Method:This was a cross-sectional study. The data were obtained from the 2017 National Dynamic Monitoring and Survey on the Health and Family Planning of Migrants (Volume A), and the study subjects were selected by stratified, multi-stage and probability proportional to size sampling methods, covering all 31 provinces (autonomous regions or municipalities), and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in China. Participants were migrants aged 60 and above who had resided in their current location for over 6 months without household registration. Demographic and sociological characteristics along with relevant information were collected. Utilization of basic public health services was indicated by the establishment of health records and receipt of health education. Social capital indicators encompassed social networks, family support, social participation, civic engagement, social trust, sense of social belonging, and social cohesion. Logistic regression models were applied to analyze the association between social capital and utilization of basic public health services among elderly migrants.Results:A total of 5 728 elderly migrants were included, with a mean age of (66.03±5.56) years, and 3 302 (57.6%) were males. Among them, 1 892 (33.0%) had established health records in their residence, and 2 372 (58.6%) had received health education. Logistic regression analysis revealed positive associations of social networks ( OR=1.287, 95% CI:1.130-1.466), social participation ( OR=1.426, 95% CI:1.238-1.644), and civic engagement ( OR=1.340, 95% CI:1.171-1.533), with the establishment of health records and receipt of health education among elderly migrants. Interestingly, lower levels of family support ( OR=0.741, 95% CI:0.642-0.855) were associated with higher rates of health record establishment and health education receipt. A sense of social belonging ( OR=1.355, 95% CI:1.150-1.596) showed a positive correlation with health record establishment, while social cohesion ( OR=1.264, 95% CI:1.080-1.478) positively correlated with the receipt of health education. Conclusions:Currently, the rates of health record establishment and health education receipt among elderly migrants in China are less satisfactory. Most dimensions of social capital demonstrate positive associations with the utilization of basic public health services among this population.

Purpose:
This study aimed to explore the application of Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System Ultrasound (O-RADS US) combined with MV-Flow (Samsung Medison Co., Ltd.) to diagnose ovarian-adnexal masses.
Methods:
A total of 112 ovarian-adnexal masses (81 benign and 31 malignant) from 105 consecutive patients were analyzed. The O-RADS US and vascular index from MV-Flow (VIMV) were measured and compared with the reference standard. O-RADS US and MV-Flow were tested for consistency.
Results:
Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn for O-RADS US, MV-Flow, and their combination. The combined methods had the largest area under the curve (0.955), followed by O-RADS US (0.929) and MV-Flow (0.923). A mass was considered malignant when the O-RADS US classification was 5 and VIMV was ≥7.15. With this definition, MV-Flow had the highest sensitivity (87.10%), with consistent findings for the combined diagnostic methods and O-RADS US (83.87%). The specificity of the combined diagnostic methods (93.83%) was higher than that of MV-Flow (91.36%). O-RADS US had the lowest specificity (90.12%). The combined diagnostic methods had the highest coincidence rate (91.07%), and MV-Flow (90.18%) had a significantly higher coincidence rate than O-RADS US (88.39%). Both O-RADS US and MV-Flow showed good consistency among different physicians (former kappa, 0.974; latter intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC], 0.986). MV-Flow had a high consistency for the same physician (ICC, 1).
Conclusion
O-RADS US and MV-Flow exhibited good diagnostic efficacy, and their combined diagnostic efficacy was higher than that of each individually. O-RADS US and MV-Flow can improve the diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal masses.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current situation of rehabilitation therapists' work, and analyze the factors related to their career development and transformation. MethodsFrom September, 2022 to January, 2023, 153 rehabilitation therapists in Weifang were investigated with a cross-sectional questionnaire, using general questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale for Grassroots Health Technicians, Social Responsibility Scale, Job Role and Identity Inventory, and Employee Turnover Scale. ResultsThe majority of rehabilitation therapists interviewed were male (52.28%), under 35 years old (88.24%), with a bachelor's degree (77.78%), income less than 5 000 yuan a month (46.40%), and less than five years of service (48.36%). The work time was (7.78±0.84) hours a day, (5.39±0.51) days a week. The favorable rate of the physical environment of work was 67.32%, and the favorable rate of the interpersonal relationship environment of work was 80.39%. The score of professional identity was (3.61±0.84), the score of job satisfaction was (3.62±0.97), the score of social responsibility was (3.53±0.79), and the score of turnover was (2.39±1.10). Education level, job satisfaction, and social responsibility were the main factors related to the employee turnover (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe overall educational level of rehabilitation therapists is relatively low, and the human resource structure needs to be optimized. There is a significant difference between academic education and continuing education, and career development needs to be improved. The main factors related to career development and transformation are education level, job satisfaction, and social responsibility.
