Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(2):158-162
Objective:
To understand the microclimate in primary and secondary school classrooms for the study period during the winter heating season, so as to provide a reference for the revision and improvement of relevant health standards.
Methods:
In December 2024, stratified random sampling was used to select 30 primary and secondary schools and 180 classrooms from the northern regions with centralized heating (Liaoning Province, Tianjin City) and the southern regions without centralized heating (Shanghai City, Anhui Province, and Jiangxi Province). Indoor temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, CO 2 and other indicators were measured on site. Variance analysis, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to analyze the differences in the microclimate of classrooms among regions and urban and rural differences.
Results:
The average temperature in the middle of the classrooms tested on site was (16.47±4.72)℃, and the variance analysis showed that the difference between the regions was statistically significant ( F=27.80, P <0.01). Among them, Tianjin had the highest average temperature of (20.43± 2.12 )℃, followed by Liaoning (19.03±2.23)℃, Shanghai (15.33±5.32)℃, Anhui (12.79±1.74)℃, and Jiangxi (11.69± 1.68 )℃. Horizontal temperature difference was 0.90 (0.50, 1.60)℃, the vertical temperature difference was 0.20 (0.10,0.60)℃, the average relative humidity was (44.39±16.16)%, the wind speed was 0.03(0.01,0.11)m/s, and the differences among different provinces and cities were statistically significant ( H/F =40.62, 82.69, 95.06, 55.28, all P <0.01). The average CO 2 volume concentration in urban areas of Tianjin, Liaoning, and Shanghai was 0.21(0.16,0.30)%, and there was no statistically significant difference ( H=4.65, P =0.10). There were grade differences in relative humidity ( F =3.71, 6.21) and CO 2 ( H =14.72, 12.92) in the north and the south (all P <0.05). In addition, the temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and CO 2 in the middle of the classroom were 42.8%, 67.8%, 100.0% and 22.2% respectively.
Conclusions
The temperature in the middle of the classroom in the non centralized heating area is lower than the standard, the relative humidity of classroom in the centralized heating area is lower than the standard,and the CO 2 in the classroom in winter is lower than the standard. It is recommended to install heating facilities in schools with low temperatures to increase the temperature and increase the frequency of ventilation in classrooms or adopt mechanical ventilation strategies to reduce CO 2 volume concentration.
3.Indoor environment management and CO 2 volume concentration of primary and secondary school classrooms in winter across three provinces and municipalities of China
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(2):163-167
Objective:
To evaluate the classroom environmental management and CO 2 volume concentration in primary and secondary schools from Liaoning, Tianjin, and Shanghai, thereby providing a scientific basis for developing targeted strategies to improve classroom air quality.
Methods:
From December 16 to 26, 2024, by using stratified random cluster sampling method, the questionnaire survey was conducted in 72 primary and secondary schools (24 each of primary, junior high, and regular high schools) across Liaoning, Tianjin and Shanghai. Information on heating, ventilation and other classroom environmental management was collected. Additionally, 108 classrooms were selected for on site microclimate measurements, including temperature, humidity, wind speed and CO 2 volume concentration. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression models were employed to explore related factors of classroom CO 2 volume concentration.
Results:
Among the three provinces/municipalities, 20.8% of schools regularly monitored the microclimate. The overall compliance rate for classroom CO 2 volume concentration was 17.6%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CO 2 volume concentration in regular and junior high school classrooms were higher than in primary school classrooms ( β=0.067, 0.046, 95%CI =0.036-0.099, 0.013-0.080); classrooms ventilated regularly in the morning and afternoon had higher CO 2 volume concentration than those ventilated during every break between classes ( β=0.043, 95%CI = 0.007- 0.080); both temperature ( β=0.010, 95%CI =0.004-0.016) and humidity ( β=0.003, 95%CI =0.002-0.004) were positively correlated with CO 2 volume concentration (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Excessive CO 2 volume concentration in primary and secondary school classrooms is a prominent issue, and ventilation frequency is a key intervenable factor for controlling CO 2 levels. It is recommended to promote ventilation during every break between classes as a core management measure and to emphasize air quality supervision in regular high school classrooms.
4.Analysis of thermal environment and students thermal comfort in primary and secondary school classrooms in winter
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(2):168-172
Objective:
To evaluate the current situation of thermal environment in primary and secondary school classrooms during winter, and to analyze students thermal comfort needs, so as to provide a basis for improving classroom thermal environment.
Methods:
From December 16 to 26, 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 90 classrooms from 15 primary and secondary schools in centralized/air conditioned heating areas(Liaoning Province, Tianjin City, Shanghai City) and naturally ventilated areas(Anhui Province and Jiangxi Province)for on site environmental measurement. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 743 students. The differences between groups using the χ 2 test were compared. Based on actual measurement data, a predicted mean vote prepared percentage of dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model for centralized/air conditioned classrooms and an adaptive model for naturally ventilated classrooms were established, and the thermal neutral temperature and comfort interval were calculated.
Results:
The average outdoor temperature during on site measurement was 4.00(0.20,7.00)℃. In classrooms with centralized or air conditioned heating systems, the measured average temperature was (19.33±2.59)℃, with a thermal comfort range of 20.35-25.35 ℃ and a thermal neutral temperature of 22.85 ℃. And 13.92% of students reported feeling cold, while 80.80% felt comfortable. In classrooms with natural ventilation, the measured average temperature was (12.26±1.83)℃, with a thermal neutral temperature of 19.67 ℃ and a thermal comfort range of 16.17-23.17 ℃. About 48.33% of students reported feeling cold, and 49.81 % felt comfortable.The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in shoe thickness, temperature sensation, relative humidity sensation and wind speed sensation between centralized/air conditioned heating areas ( χ 2= 7.01 , 31.47, 13.57, 13.80,all P <0.05). There were also statistically significant differences in school stage for primary and secondary school students, body mass index, classroom location for seat, temperature sensation, relative humidity sensation and wind speed sensation between naturally ventilated areas ( χ 2=42.13, 11.13, 11.04, 60.39, 29.27, 38.46,all P <0.05).
Conclusions
There are differences in thermal environment and students subjective thermal comfort in primary and secondary schools under different ventilation modes in winter. The temperature standards for heated classrooms should be revised, and differentiated environmental regulation strategies should be adopted based on different ventilation methods to improve students health and comfort levels.

Objective To explore the application of time series models based on meteorological factors in the population density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province. Methods The density of Aedes albopictus in different habitats in 18 cities and counties of Hainan Province from 2017 to 2022 was monitored monthly using the double-mosquito net trapping index and the Breteau index. Mann-Kendall trend test was used to analyze the temporal trends of the two density indices; Spearman's correlation analysis was employed to assess the correlation strength between each meteorological factor and the two indexes, eliminating unrelated variables, and further selecting the final variables through the full-subset regression method. Three time-series models were constructed for the two density indices, with root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and other accuracy metrics used to determine the optimal model; predictions for the density indices for 2023-2024 were made. All statistical analyses were performed in R (4.3.1). Results The net trapping and Breteau indices showed an overall decrease over the years (Z-values of Mann-Kendall trend test were -6.15 and -4.03, respectively, and P<0.05). The meteorological factor most strongly associated with the trap index was the monthly average minimum temperature; monthly mean minimum temperature and monthly mean relative humidity were strongly correlated with the Breteau index. Based on various evaluation indicators, the multivariate time series model demonstrated the highest accuracy. The study predicts one to two peaks in both the trap index and Breteau Index for the years 2023 and 2024, with peak periods occurring between June to September and May to September, respectively. The predicted value for 2023 aligns with the measured value, demonstrating outstanding predictive accuracy. Conclusions This study has introduced meteorological factors into the seasonal time series model, allowing for more accurate predictions of the density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province from 2023 to 2024, providing a model framework for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province.

Objective:To explore the action mechanism of suppressing expression of mitogen- activated protein kinase 14(MAPK14)to alleviate glutamate excitatory toxicity and its neuronal protection effect.Methods:Lentivirus-mediated MAPK14 interference vector was synthetized by Shanghai Jikai Gene Chemical Technology Co.,Ltd. Astrocytes were obtained from SD rats 48 hours after birth,which were cultured in vitro and transfected by lentivirus-mediated transfection. According to the random number table,the cells were divided into three groups:(1)un-transfected group(normal group)with normal astrocytes and the cells were cultured in regular medium composed of Dulbecco's?modified Eagle's?medium(DMEM);(2)negative control group with astrocytes transfected by MAPK14 no-loaded interference vector;(3)lentivirus transfected group with astrocytes transfected by MAPK14 interference vector. Seventy-two hours after transfection,astrocytes were co-cultured with neurons for 48 hours,and then they were cultured in a medium containing glutamate for 2 hours. The detection indexes included the optimal multiplicity of infection(MOI)value for astrocytes transfected by lentivirus vector,mRNA levels of MAPK14 and glial glutamate transporter 1(GLT-1)detected by rPCR 72 hours after transfection,protein levels of MAPK14 and GLT-1 detected by Western blot 72 hours after transfection,level of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and mortality of neurons measured by spectrophotometry and flow cytometry 2 hours after culturing in the medium with glutamate. Results:(1)The optimal MOI value for lentivirus transfecting astrocytes was 30,and astrocytes grew well after transfection.(2)Seventy-two after transfection,the mRNA level of MAPK14 in lentivirus transfected group(0.005 7±0.000 6)was significantly decreased as compared with un-transfected group(0.013 1±0.001 1)and negative control group(0.013 9±0.001 0)( P<0.01),the mRNA level of GLT-1 in lentivirus transfected group(0.009 1±0.001 2)was not significantly changed as compared with un-transfected group(0.008 7±0.000 3)and negative control group(0.008 9±0.001 1)( P>0.05).(3)Seventy-two hours after transfection,the protein level of MAPK14 in lentivirus transfected group(0.29±0.04)was significantly decreased as compared with non-transfected group(0.61±0.05)and negative control group(0.63±0.01)( P<0.01),the protein level of GLT-1 in lentivirus transfected group(0.73±0.06)was significantly increased as compared with un-transfected group(0.20±0.03)and negative control group(0.23±0.09)( P<0.01).(4)After astrocytes were co-cultured with neurons and subsequently cultured in the medium containing glutamate for 2 hours,the level of LDH in lentivirus transfected group[(109.67±2.40)U/L]was significantly lower than that in un-transfected group[(141.52±3.88)U/L]and negative control group[(141.29±3.61)U/L]( P<0.01). The mortality of neurons in lentivirus transfected group[(38.72±0.26)%]was significantly lower than that in un-transfected group[(52.94±1.36)%]and negative control group[(54.30±1.23)%]( P<0.01). Conclusions:The transfection with lentivirus-mediated MAPK14 interference vector can increase expression of GLT-1 in astrocytes to increase glutamate re-uptake and relieve the glutamate excitatory toxicity in neurons,which may provide a new experimental basis for future use of astrocyte gene regulation to alleviate neuronal injury caused by glutamate excitatory toxicity after traumatic brain injury.

To investigate the feasibility, safety and short-term efficacy of modified inflatable video-mediastinoscopy in patients with early esophageal cancer. Methods The study retrospectively evaluated 54 patients with cT1N0M0 esophageal carcinoma who received minimally invasive esophagectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China between July 2017 and June 2018. Of those patients, 23 patients underwent modified inflatable video-assisted mediastinoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy(MIVMTS) and 31 underwent minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy (MIME). The clinicopathologic factors, operational factors, postoperative complications and lymph node dissection of patients were compared. Results There was no significant difference in clinicopathological data between the MIVMTS group and MIME group. The incidence of total minor postoperative complications, pulmonary infection of minior postoperative complications, total postoperative complications and total pulmonary complications in MIME group were higher than MIVMTS group. The incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, arrhythmia and air leaks in minior and pulmonary infection, chylothorax, anastomotic fistula in major postoprative complications were no different in the two groups with P >0. 05. The intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery and postoperative thoracic drainage fluid volume of MIVMTS group were less than MIME group, the difference was statistically significant. The postoperative hospitalization of the two groups have no statistics significance(P >0. 05). There were no significant difference in the lymph node dessection of the left laryngeal recurrent nerve lymph nodes, paraesophageal lymph nodes, subcarinal lymph nodes and superior phrenic lymph node of the two groups. However, when compared with MIVMTS group, the MIME group have advantage in the right laryngeal recurrent para-nerve lymph node dissection. Conclusion MIVMTS can be safely and effectively performed for early esophageal cancer with favorable short-term efficacy.
