AIM:To analyze the influencing factors of visual outcome after vitrectomy for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy(PCV)combined with vitreous hemorrhage and establish a predictive model.METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 129 cases(129 eyes)of patients who underwent vitrectomy for PCV combined with vitreous hemorrhage from June 2021 to January 2024 in our hospital. They were divided into elevated group(71 eyes)and non-elevated group(58 eyes)according to visual outcome at early posoperative stage(within 24 mo). Another 30 cases(30 eyes)of PCV with vitreous hemorrhage undergoing vitrectomy were selected as external validation data. The predictive value of the model for the postoperative visual outcomes of both internal and external populations was evaluated.RESULTS: The non-elevated group had a higher proportion of patients aged ≥60 years, diabetes, continuous abnormalities of the ellipsoid zone(EZ)during surgery, bleeding involving the macular fovea, and postoperative retinal scar formation than the elevated group were independent factors affecting postoperative visual acuity(all P<0.05). The AUC of the predictive model for predicting the postoperative visual outcomes of internal and external populations was 0.824(95%CI: 0.750-0.898)and 0.809(95%CI: 0.723-0.865), respectively.CONCLUSION:Patients aged ≥60 years, diabetes, intraoperative continuous abnormalities of EZ, bleeding involving the macular fovea, and postoperative retinal scar formation are influencing factors for visual outcome after vitrectomy in patients with PCV combined with vitreous hemorrhage. A predictive model based on those factors has been established, which has a certain predictive value for postoperative visual outcome.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(6):802-805
Objective:
To analyze the implementation status and challenges of sex education in special education schools, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating effective promotion strategies.
Methods:
From November 2023 to January 2024, a census survey was conducted among 120 in service teachers from 7 special education schools in Luzhou. The questionnaire covered the current status of sex education in schools, teachers attitudes and knowledge toward sex education, and their coping methods for students inappropriate sexual behaviors.
Results:
About 77.5% of teachers reported having provided sex education to students, but 93.2% indicated a lack of specialized sex education textbooks for special children, 90.4% reported no full time teachers for sex education, and the methods of sex education were relatively limited (50.0% mainly based on lecture method). Nearly 95.8% of teachers held a positive attitude toward sex education, with 98.3% supporting its implementation. Only 26.7% of teachers demonstrated a good grasp of sex education knowledge, with the best understood topic being "recognition and protection of private parts" (21.6%). When dealing with students inappropriate sexual behaviors, the active response rate of teachers was 23.9%, with the highest active response rate observed for "intentionally hugging or kissing the opposite sex" (39.7%).
Conclusions
The special education schools in Luzhou lack comprehensive sex education curricula, teaching materials and full time teachers, sufficient knowledge among teachers, and adequate proactive responses to students inappropriate sexual behaviors. Greater emphasis should be placed on sex education for special children, including the training of dedicated teachers, to provide comprehensive and high quality sex education services for special children.

Objective:To explore the prenatal ultrasound phenotype and genetic basis of two fetuses with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the ultrasound imaging data of two fetuses suspected for WHS at the Prenatal Diagnostic Center of Qingyuan People′s Hospital in July 2017 and August 2019, respectively. Amniotic fluid samples of the two fetuses were subjected to chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). This study was approved by Medical Ethics Committee of the Qingyuan People′s Hospital (Ethics No. IRB-2022-064).Results:Prenatal ultrasound examination of the two fetuses had consistently revealed WHS-associated traits including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), craniofacial abnormalities and cardiovascular anomalies. Karyotyping analysis suggested that both fetuses had harbored cryptic chromosomal translocations involving partial deletion of 4p. And parental verification revealed that it was de novo for fetus 1 and paternal for fetus 2. CMA has confirmed that fetus 1 had an approximately 8.7 Mb deletion at 4p16.3p16.1 and a 6.8 Mb duplication at 8p23.1p23.1, whilst fetus 2 had a 20.05 Mb deletion at 4p16.3p15.31 and a 7.66 Mb duplication at 9p24.3p24.1. The karyotype of fetus 1 was determined as 46, XN, der(4)t(4; 8)(p16.1; p23.1)dn.arr[hg19]4p16.3p16.1(68345_8721580)×1, 8p23.3p23.1(158048_6933745)×3, and that of fetus 2 was determined as 46, XN, der(4)t(4; 9)(p15.3; p24)dpat.arr[hg19]4p16.3p15.31(68345_20116061)×1, 9p24.3p24.1(208454_7868292)×3. Conclusion:The 4p deletion is probably the main cause for the WHS phenotype in both fetuses. WHS should be suspected when IUGR, renal anomalies, craniofacial and cardiovascular abnormalities are detected upon prenatal ultrasound screening.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of standard treatment with or without adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with highly malignant non-metastatic prostate cancer.Methods:In this prospective non-randomized controlled study, consecutive non-metastatic prostate cancer patients with pathologically proven Gleason score of 9-10 or Gleason score of 5 admitted to Peking University First Hospital were enrolled. Four to six cycles of chemotherapy using docetaxel ± carboplatin regimen were added or not after standard radical therapy. The primary end point was 5-year event-free survival (EFS), and the secondary end points were distant metastasis-free survival (MFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse events. The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method. The differences between two groups were analyzed by log-rank test.Results:A total of 176 patients were consecutively enrolled from November 2019 to January 2022 of which 138 patients received only standard radical therapy (control group), and 38 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy after standard radical therapy (chemotherapy group). The median follow-up time was 13.4 (2.0-34.0) months. All patients survived. The 30-month EFS rates in the chemotherapy and control groups were 100% and 85.6%, respectively ( P=0.064). There were no events in the chemotherapy group, while there were 12 cases of events in the control group, including 6 cases of biochemical recurrence and 6 cases of imaging progression. The 30-month MFS rates in two groups were 100% and 91.9%, respectively ( P=0.205). After the 1 vs. 2 propensity score matching, the EFS and MFS rates in two groups were 100% vs. 85.7% ( P=0.056), and 100% vs. 92.2% ( P=0.209), respectively. The incidence rates of grade 2 and above urinary toxicity in the chemotherapy and control groups were 2.6% and 7.2% ( P=0.354), respectively. The incidence rates of grade 2 and above rectal toxicity were 5.3% and 5.1% ( P=0.711), respectively. Grade 3 and above chemotherapy-related toxicity in the chemotherapy group were leukopenia (31.6%), thrombocytopenia (2.6%) and alopecia (13.2%). Conclusion:The addition of adjuvant chemotherapy after standard radical therapy tends to improve the overall EFS of patients with highly malignant prostate cancer, and the adverse effects are tolerable, which should be confirmed by long-term follow-up results.

Objective:To investigate the independent risk factors of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and the accuracy and prevention value of ARDS prediction based on artificial neural network model in CAP patients.Methods:A case-control study was conducted. Clinical data of 414 patients with CAP who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the comprehensive intensive care unit and respiratory department of Changzhou Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from February 2020 to February 2021 were analyzed. They were divided into two groups according to whether they had complicated with ARDS. The clinical data of the two groups were collected within 24 hours after admission, the influencing factors of ARDS were screened out by univariate analysis, and the artificial neural network model was constructed. Through the artificial neural network model, the importance of input layer independent variables (that was, the influence factors obtained from univariate analysis) on the output layer dependent variables (whether ARDS occurred) was drawn. The artificial neural network modeling data pairs were randomly divided into training group ( n = 290) and verification group ( n = 124) in a ratio of 7∶3. The overall prediction accuracy of the training group and the verification group was calculated respectively. At the same time, the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated. Results:All 414 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 82 patients with ARDS and 332 patients without ARDS. Univariate analysis showed that gender, age, heart rate (HR), maximum systolic blood pressure (MSBP), maximum respiratory rate (MRR), source of admission, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), neutrophil count (NEUT), eosinophil count (EOS), fibrinogen equivalent unit (FEU), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), total bilirubin (TBil), albumin (ALB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum creatinine (SCr), hemoglobin (Hb) and blood glucose (GLU) were significantly different between the two groups, which might be the risk factors of CAP patients complicated with ARDS. Taking the above 19 risk factors as the input layer and whether ARDS occurred as the output layer, the artificial neural network model was constructed. Among the input layer independent variables, the top five indicators with the largest influence weight on the neural network model were LDH (100.0%), PCT (74.4%), FEU (61.5%), MRR (56.9%), and APTT (51.6%), indicating that that these five indicators had a greater impact on the occurrence of ARDS in patients with CAP. The overall prediction accuracy of the artificial neural network model in the training group was 94.1% (273/290), and that of the verification group was 89.5% (111/124). The AUC predicted by the aforementioned artificial neural network model for ARDS in CAP patients was 0.977 (95% confidence interval was 0.956-1.000).Conclusion:The prediction model of ARDS in CAP patients based on artificial neural network model has good prediction ability, which can be used to calculate the accuracy of ARDS in CAP patients, and specific preventive measures can be given.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(10):1467-1471
Objective:
To understand the prevalence of school bullying and depressive symptoms among the Han, Yi, and Tibetan adolescents in western China, and to explore the relationships between bullying roles, bullying frequency and depression symptoms.
Methods:
A combination method of typical sampling and cluster sampling was used to recruit 3 115 participants from six primary and middle schools in Cangxi County and Ganluo County in Sichuan Province, and Lhasa City in Tibet Autonomous Region from April to November 2020. All participants completed self filled questionnaires. Multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between school bullying and depression symptoms.
Results:
A total of 881 participants (28.3%) had experienced school bullying in the past 6 months, and 892 participants(28.6%) were detected with depressive symptoms. The rates of school bullying in the Han, Yi, and Tibetan adolescents were 20.5%, 46.4% and 23.8%, respectively. Among them, the rates of victims were 15.3%, 25.0% and 11.8%, respectively; the rates of bully were 2.3%, 5.7% and 6.7%, respectively; the rates of bully victims were 2.9%, 5.7% and 5.4%, respectively. The prevalence of depressive symptoms in the Han, Yi, and Tibetan adolescents were 20.4%, 37.9% and 36.5%, respectively. After adjusting for age, grade, ethnicity, smoking, and drinking, the odds for depressive symptoms among victims ( AOR=1.98, 95%CI =1.61- 2.45 ), bully ( AOR=2.63, 95%CI =1.81-3.82), and bully victims ( AOR=3.33, 95%CI =2.44-4.54) were significantly higher than those without school bullying experience( P <0.01). And the risks increased with the increasing bullying frequency.
Conclusion
School bullying and depressive symptoms of the Yi and the Tibetan adolescents in western China were higher than those of the Han adolescents. Meanwhile, participation in school bullying and the high frequency of bullying were closely related to depressive symptoms. Future interventions should pay attention to various bullying roles and minority adolescents.
8.Research in physical exercise among rural adolescents based on the theory of planned behavior in Sichuan Province
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(1):41-45
Objective:
To verify the applicability of the theory of planned behavior(TPB) in the physical exercise behaviors of rural adolescents in Sichuan Province, and to explore the possible influencing factors of physical exercise behaviors, and to provide a theoretical basis for further effective intervention measures.
Methods:
A total of 2 302 students were selected from grade seven and grade ten of two rural middle schools in Zizhong, Sichuan Province. The survey was conducted with a structured questionnaire. Using TPB as the research framework and basis, the structural equation model was constructed for analysis.
Results:
Lack of physical exercise was 1 527(66.3%).Physical exercise behavior was statistically different among schools, grades(t=-7.40,-2.90,10.90,P<0.05), and genders. Based on TPB, the structural equation model was established and corrected to obtain the revised model, and the fitting index GFI=0.93, CFI=0.94, NFI=0.94, TLI=0.93, IFI=0.94,RMSEA=0.07, indicating the model fitted good. Exercise intention directly affected exercise behaviors. The standardized effect was 0.45(95%CI=0.39-0.52). Subjective norms and perceived power were the main two mediators of the relationship between value evaluation and exercise intention. The standardized effect values were 0.66(95%CI=0.57-0.73), 0.23(95%CI=0.16-0.93)(P<0.01).
Conclusion
There is serious lack of physical exercise in rural adolescents in Sichuan Province. TPB has a good applicability for physical exercise in rural adolescents in Sichuan Province. Subjective norm is the most important factors to promote exercise intentions.

Objective:To understand the status quo of nurses' professional mission and explore the influencing factors of nurses' professional mission.Methods:From November to December, 2018, 316 nurses from three tertiary hospitals in Tianjin were selected as the research objects. The occupational mission scale was used to investigate the sense of professional mission, the nursing work environment scale was used for the nursing work environment survey, and the work family conflict scale was used for the work family conflict investigation. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation among nurses' sense of professional mission, nursing work environment and work family conflict; multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of nurses' sense of professional mission.Results:The score of professional mission of nurses was (2.90±0.56) . Average monthly income, nursing work environment and work family conflict were the influencing factors of nurses' professional mission ( P<0.05) . The results of hierarchical regression showed that the higher the average monthly income ( β=0.252) , the higher the sense of professional mission of nurses ( R2=0.064) ; after controlling general data, the two dimensions of nursing work environment: Nurses' participation in hospital affairs ( β=0.263) , high-quality nursing service foundation ( β=0.368) , and work family conflict ( β=-0.145) could explain 43.1% of the total variation of professional mission. Conclusion:The sense of professional mission of nurses is above the middle level. Nursing managers should start with the influencing factors such as average monthly income, nursing working environment and work family conflict, so as to stimulate or improve nurses' sense of professional mission.
