Objective:
To explore the association of outdoor activity time and sleep duration with screening myopia in primary school students, so as to provide strategies for myopia prevention.
Methods:
Through a convenience sampling method, a survey was conducted among 4 248 primary school students aged 7-13 years from three primary schools in Xihu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province from May to July, 2023. The average daily outdoor activity time and sleep duration on both weekdays and weekends were investigated in primary school students by using a self designed questionnaire. Uncorrected visual acuity tests and non cycloplegic autorefraction were measured by professional optometrists. Inter group comparisons were conducted using the Chi square test. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of outdoor activity time and sleep duration with screening myopia.
Results:
The detection rate of screening myopia in primary school students was 33.6%, with the rate in boys (32.0%) lower than that in girls (35.3%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=5.11, P =0.02). The analysis results of Logistic regression showed that after adjusting for factors such as gender, grade and parental education level, both average daily outdoor activity time <2 h on both weekdays and weekends ( OR =1.27, 95% CI =1.11-1.46) and sleep duration <10 h ( OR =1.17, 95% CI =1.01- 1.35 ), as well as their combined effect ( OR =1.57, 95% CI =1.25-1.98), were associated with an increased risk of screening myopia in primary school students(all P <0.05). Subgroup analysis results indicated that compared to boys ( OR =1.46, 95% CI = 1.07 -1.99), girls( OR =1.73, 95% CI =1.22-2.44) with insufficient outdoor activity time and sleep duration had a higher risk of screening myopia(both P <0.05).
Conclusions
There is a negative correlation of outdoor activity time and sleep duration with screening myopia in primary school students. Outdoor activity time and extending sleep duration should be increased to reduce the risk of myopia in primary school students.

Objective:
To determine the association between exposure to entertainment screen content on mobile phones and symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students,so as to provide evidence for mental health interventions.
Methods:
A baseline survey was conducted from April to May 2019. A total of 1 135 college students were selected from one university each in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province and Hefei City, Anhui Province using cluster random sampling method. A follow up study was conducted in November 2019, resulting in 1 110 matched valid responses. Self rating questionnaires were used to assess the exposure of entertainment screen content. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21(DASS-21) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate the anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students. A multivariate binary Logistic regression model was constructed following initial intergroup comparisons with Chi-square test to determine the association between baseline exposure to mobile entertainment screen content and the risk of symptoms of anxiety depression co-morbidity at baseline and the 6 month follow up.
Results:
The prevalence rates of symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students were 25.4% and 20.6% at baseline and follow up, respectively.After adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, self rated family economic status and self rated health status, the results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the appropriate exposure level group, the exposure of entertainment screen content on mobile phones at baseline, including frequent exposure to reading( OR =1.65,95% CI =1.14-2.39), occasional exposure to other entertainment screen content ( OR =1.46,95% CI =1.01-2.10)and frequent exposure to other entertainment screen content( OR =1.76,95% CI =1.20-2.60), increased the co-occurrence risk of symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students during the follow up period (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Occasional or frequert exposure to mobile entertainment screen content can increase the risk of symptoms of anxiety depression co-morbidity among college students.

Objective To establish a highly efficient and sensitive technical system for the identification and analysis of platycodin-type saponins, systematically compare the differences in platycodin-type saponins among Platycodon grandiflorum from different producing areas, and provide scientific references for the screening of high-quality Platycodon grandiflorum resources, authenticity evaluation, and construction of standardized quality control systems. Methods A total of 45 batches of P. grandiflorum medicinal materials from 3 producing areas (Anhui, Henan, and Jilin, with 15 batches per area) were selected as research objects. Qualitative identification and semi-quantitative analysis of saponin components were performed based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS) technology. Meanwhile, two multivariate statistical methods, principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), were combined to analyze the differences in platycodin-type saponins of Platycodon grandiflorus from different producing areas. Results A total of 28 saponin components were identified from Platycodon grandiflorus of the three producing areas. PCA results showed that there were minor differences in platycodin-type saponins between Henan Platycodon grandiflorus and Jilin Platycodon grandiflorus, while Anhui P. grandiflorum exhibited significant differences from both. PLS-DA further screened 15 major differential compounds. Among them, the contents of 6 components including 3''-O-acetylpolygalacin D2 and platycodin H in Anhui Platycodon grandiflorus were higher than those in Henan and Jilin Platycodon grandiflorus; platycodigenic acid A had the highest content in Jilin Platycodon grandiflorus; the contents of platycodin D3, polygalacin J, and polygalacin D were relatively higher in Henan Platycodon grandiflorus. Conclusion This study clarified the characteristic differences in core components of Platycodon grandiflorus from the three major producing areas, which provided an important theoretical basis for the screening of high-quality Platycodon grandiflorus resources, elucidation of the mechanism underlying its authenticity, and construction of a standardized quality control system.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(5):714-718
Objective:
To investigate the association between screening detected myopia in primary school students and mixed exposure to air pollutants, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents.
Methods:
From May to July 2023, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 15 102 primary school students in grades 3 through 6 from Hefei, Zhongshan, Shenyang, and Nanchang citys. Data were collected through questionnaires, distance vision screening, and computerized refraction. Monthly average concentration data for particulate matter (PM 10 ), fine particulate matter (PM 2. 5), NO 2 and SO 2 were used to calculate the annual average pollutant concentrations for primary school students. Quantile g computation model was employed to analyze the association between mixed exposure to air pollutants and screening detected myopia.
Results:
The differences in concentrations of the four pollutants among cities were statistically significant ( H =12 886.0, 13 285.0, 8 559.0, 13 181.0, all P <0.01). In the overall sample, there was no statistically significant association between combined exposure to air pollutants and the risk of myopia ( β=0.033, 95%CI=-0.004-0.072, P =0.08). Stratified analysis by outdoor activity time showed that among primary school students with outdoor activity time ≤1 h/d, mixed exposure to air pollutants was positively associated with the risk of myopia ( β=0.050, 95%CI=0.002-0.099, P =0.04); after stratification by city, combined exposure to air pollutants was significantly associated with the risk of myopia among primary school students in Nanchang and Shenyang [ β (95% CI )= 0.232(0.175-0.289), 0.080(0.006-0.155), both P <0.05], whereas no statistically significant association was observed among primary school students in Hefei and Zhongshan [ β (95% CI )=-0.010(-0.071-0.051), -0.032(-0.167-0.102), both P > 0.05 ].
Conclusions
Exposure to multiple air pollutants may increase the risk of myopia in primary school students, with the risk influenced by time spent outdoors and geographical location. It is recommended that outdoor activity management for children be strengthened in areas with higher air pollution levels, and that environmental factors be incorporated into comprehensive myopia prevention and control strategies.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(6):847-851
Objective:
To analyze the association and dose response relationship between physical activity and inflammatory markers in college students, so as to provide a reference for promoting cardiometabolic health in college students.
Methods:
A cluster random sampling method was used to select 747 college students from two universities in Hefei, Anhui Province and Shangrao, Jiangxi Province from April to May 2019. Physical activity was assessed by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and peripheral blood was collected to detect plasma inflammatory factor levels [including hypersensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)]. The differences between the groups were compared by using the χ 2 test and the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, and the association between physical activity and inflammatory markers was analyzed by using the Generalized Linear Model. The dose response relationship between physical activity and inflammatory markers was analyzed using the Restricted Cubic Spline Model.
Results:
The proportions of low physical activity, moderate physical activity, and high physical activity groups of college students were 15.9%, 53.7% and 30.4%, respectively. The levels of hsCRP, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the high physical activity group were 0.38(0.21, 1.10)mg/L, 70.74(47.90, 116.43)pg/mL, 1.75(1.21, 2.64)pg/mL, 4.33(2.93, 6.82) pg/mL , 5.27(3.89, 7.30)pg/mL,the levels in the low physical activity group were 0.80(0.31, 1.30)mg/L, 73.88 (47.90, 124.24)pg/mL, 1.88(1.42, 2.81) pg/mL, 4.82 (3.64, 6.67) pg/mL, 5.63 (4.34, 7.62)pg/mL, the levels in the moderate physical activity group were 0.63(0.25, 1.30)mg/L, 89.78(58.21, 127.65)pg/mL, 2.21(1.59, 3.27)pg/mL, 5.15( 3.72 , 7.72)pg/mL, 5.87( 4.63 , 8.00)g/mL, and the differences were statistically significant ( H=10.66, 11.38, 27.79, 14.13, 9.44, P <0.05). After adjusting for variables such as gender, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption and health status, the results of Generalized Linear Model showed that compared with the high physical activity group, the low physical activity group ( OR=2.20, 95%CI = 1.46- 3.31) and the moderate physical activity group ( OR=1.65, 95%CI =1.22-2.25) were more likely to have high levels of hsCRP, and the moderate physical activity group was more likely to have high levels of IL-1β ( OR=1.85, 95%CI =1.36-2.51), IL-6 ( OR=1.44, 95%CI =1.06-1.96), and TNF-α ( OR=1.43, 95%CI =1.05-1.94) ( P <0.05). The Restricted Cubic Spline Model showed that there was no linear dose response relationship between the time of moderate to vigorous physical activity weekly and IL-10, IL-6, II-1β, and TNF-α ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
There is an association between physical activity and inflammation in college students, and moderate to high intensity per week could reduce inflammation levels to promote cardiometabolic health in college students.

ObjectiveTo investigate the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) in the spatial pattern of Pseudostellaria heterophylla production regions and reveal the impact of statistical scales on the spatial distribution characteristics of this medicinal plant species. MethodsUsing multi-source data (literature records, field surveys, and statistical data), we systematically analyzed the spatial patterns across three administrative levels (provincial, prefectural, and county scales). Spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I) analysis, high-low clustering (Getis-Ord General G), and hot/cold spot analysis (Getis-Ord Gi*) were employed. ResultsThe literature-based analysis showed that the production regions of P. heterophylla presented random distribution on the provincial scale and significant aggregation on the prefectural scale. The field survey data showed that the production regions displayed random distribution on the provincial scale but significant aggregation on both prefectural and county scales. The statistical data revealed that the production regions lacked spatial autocorrelation on the provincial scale but demonstrated significant aggregation on prefectural and county scales. ConclusionMAUP effects have substantive implications for understanding and decision-making in the arrangement of medicinal plant production regions. The county scale proves to be the most sensitive and explanatory level for analyzing the spatial pattern of P. heterophylla production regions, providing a critical foundation for habitat modeling, suitability evaluation, and ecological cultivation planning of medicinal plants.

OBJECTIVES:
To develop an early atrial fibrillation (AF) risk prediction model based on large-scale electrocardiogram (ECG) data from the Chinese population.
METHODS:
The data of multiple ECG records of 30 383 patients admitted in the Chinese PLA General Hospital between 2009 and 2023 were randomly divided into the training set and the internal testing set in a 7:3 ratio. The predictive factors were selected based on the training set using univariate analysis, LASSO regression, and the Boruta algorithm. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to establish the ECG model and the composite model incorporating age, gender, and ECG model score. The discrimination power, calibration, and clinical net benefits of the models were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), calibration curves, and decision curves.
RESULTS:
The cohort included 51.1% male patients with a median age of the patients of 51 (36, 62) years and an AF incidence of 4.5% (1370/30 383). In the ECG model, the parameters related to the P wave and QRS complex were identified as significant predictors. In the testing set, the AUROC of the ECG model for predicting 5-year AF risk was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.74-0.80), which was increased to 0.81 (95% CI: 0.78-0.83) after incorporating age and gender, with a net reclassification improvement of 0.123 and an integrated discrimination improvement of 0.04 (P<0.05). The calibration curve of the model was close to the diagonal line. Decision curve analysis showed that the clinical net benefit of the composite model was higher than that of the ECG model across the majority of threshold probability.
CONCLUSIONS
The composite model incorporating quantitative ECG features during sinus rhythm, along with age and gender, can effectively predict AF risk in the Chinese population, thus providing a low-cost screening tool for early AF risk assessment and management.

Abstract
The issue of multimorbidity in children and adolescents is becoming increasingly prominent, but there is no consensus on the definition of multimorbidity. As research deepens, issues related to the comparability and standardization of relevant findings are gradually emerging. As a solution, a systematic review of both domestic and international research on multimorbidity is conducted, and a classification system for defining the concept of multimorbidity is proposed, offering more convenient conditions for the advancement of future research and cross study exchange.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis, origin, and prognosis of primary ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma.Methods:A total of 17 cases of primary ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma diagnosed at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University and Jiaxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital between January 2018 and September 2024 were included in this study. Histopathological sections were retrospectively reviewed, and clinicopathological data were systematically analyzed. Immunohistochemical analysis, molecular profiling, and clinical follow-up were performed to further characterize the cases.Results:The patients′ age was (57.1±9.3) years. Tumor involvement included 1 bilateral case, 9 left-sided cases, and 7 right-sided cases. Nine cases originated from endometrioid cysts, and 8 cases exhibited coexisting tumor components of other types. Gross examination revealed gray-yellow solid masses or solid components within cysts. Microscopically, the tumors displayed diverse architectural patterns, including papillary, glandular, cystic, tubular, and solid structures, with eosinophilic secretions within glandular lumens and mild to moderate nuclear atypia. Immunohistochemically, the tumors showed variable expression of TTF1, GATA3, CD10, and Calretinin. ER and PR were focally positive in only 2 cases, while others were negative. All cases demonstrated intact DNA mismatch repair proteins expression and wild-type p53 staining patterns. Molecular analysis performed in 10 cases identified pathogenic KRAS mutations in all tested samples. During a follow-up period of 1 to 75 months, 5 cases had recurrence, 1 patient remained alive with disease, and no disease-related death was reported.Conclusions:Ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma is an aggressive malignancy with a high potential for early recurrence and metastasis. Its frequent association with endometriosis and coexistence with other Müllerian tumors suggest a potential Müllerian origin. The tumor′s diverse morphological spectrum and common admixture with other tumor types often pose diagnostic challenges, making it difficult to distinguish from other gynecological malignancies. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma is crucial for appropriate clinical management and prognostication.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical outcomes of transperineal prostate multimodal image fusion-targeted biopsy under the day surgery model.Methods:Clinical data of 258 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University between December 2022 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups,and the experimental group( n = 141)underwent transperineal prostate multi-modal image-fusion targeted biopsy in the day-surgery mode,with age of(70.0 ± 8.8)years,median prostate-specific antigen(PSA)level of 11.10(7.63?17.06)ng/ml,and median Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System(PI-RADS)score of 4(3,5). The control group( n = 117)underwent traditional transperineal systematic biopsy,with age of(69.3 ± 7.4)years,median PSA of 25.20(16.18-54.40)ng/ml,and median PI-RADS score of 4(3,5). The experimental group was given the day surgery mode:preoperatively,multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging(mpMRI)of the prostate was multimodally fused with ultrasound images,the location of target lesions in the prostate was manually mapped,and a targeted biopsy plan was developed. Intraoperatively,under ultrasound guidance,precise puncture was performed at the lesion sites,followed by systematic biopsy. After the operation,the patients were observed for 4-6 hours,and could be discharged if there were no obvious abnormalities,with the total hospitalization time within 24 hours. For the control group,the conventional biopsy mode was used. Intraoperatively,under ultrasound guidance,the standard 12-core transperineal systematic biopsy protocol was adopted,and sampling was conducted according to the anatomical regions of the prostate(base,midportion,apex,transition zone,and peripheral zone)to cover the entire gland. Patients in this group required routine hospitalization,with a hospital stay of 3-5 days. Operative time,intraoperative pain Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)score,complications within one week postoperatively,treatment costs,overall prostate cancer detection rate,and clinically significant prostate cancer(csPCa,defined as Gleason score ≥ 7 or pathological stage ≥ T 2b)detection rate were compared between the two groups. Results:All procedures were successfully completed without special incidents. The operative time was(13.49 ± 2.00)min in the experimental group and(13.05 ± 2.89)min in the control group,showing no significant difference( P > 0.05). The intraoperative pain NRS scores were(3.01 ± 1.17)and(3.10 ± 1.25)in the experimental and control groups,respectively,with no significant difference( P > 0.05). Pathological examination revealed that the overall prostate cancer detection rates were 46.8%(66/141)in the experimental group and 42.7%(50/117)in the control group,while the csPCa detection rates were 35.5%(50/141)and 31.6%(37/117),respectively. The differences were not statistically significant( P > 0.05). The complication rate was 6.4%(9/141)in the experimental group(including 2 cases of acute urinary retention,3 hematuria,3 fever,and 1 sepsis)and 6.0%(7/117)in the control group(including 3 acute urinary retention,1 hematuria,2 fever,and 1 sepsis),with no significant difference( P > 0.05). All complications improved after symptomatic treatment. The treatment costs were(4 063.25 ± 67.26)yuan in the experimental group and(5 185.14 ± 469.15)yuan in the control group,demonstrating a statistically significant difference( P < 0.05). Conclusions:Transperineal prostate multimodal image fusion-targeted biopsy can be safely performed under the day surgery model,offering advantages including a relatively high detection rate for csPCa,low complication rate,and better cost-effectiveness.
