ObjectiveTo review the application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in the field of visual impairment (VI) rehabilitation. MethodsLiterature related to ICF and VI rehabilitation was retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP from inception to May, 2026. Standards and policy documents related to VI published before May, 2026 were retrieved from the National Standards Full-text Disclosure System of the Standardization Administration of China, the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the Chinese Government Portal. Following PRISMA-ScR, based on the three-dimensional ICF framework, an integrated analysis was conducted from the dimensions of theory, practice and policy. ResultsA total of 17 articles involving 2 648 participants, and four domestic VI assessment standards and one guideline were included. At the theoretical level, domestic VI standards showed the highest alignment with the ICF dimension of body functions, while the coverage of the activities and participation dimension was uneven, and the coverage of the environmental factors dimension was the weakest. At the practical level, the ICF was primarily used for developing assessment tools, conducting clinical evaluations, implementing interventions and exploring service models. At the policy level, the overall orientation of domestic special education and medical insurance payment aligned with the ICF concept of whole person rehabilitation, yet specific implementation rules remained to be formulated. ConclusionICF provides a comprehensive and systematic approach for integrating the VI rehabilitation system in China, demonstrating significant application value in standard construction, clinical practice optimization and policy refinement.

Background Prehospital emergency medical personnel (PEMP) are exposed to long-term high-pressure work, which can exacerbate psychological distress and impair job satisfaction and sleep quality. However, in-depth research on the interactions among these factors is lacking. Objective To assess the status of psychological distress, job satisfaction, and sleep quality of PEMP in Guangzhou and to explore the mediating role of sleep quality in the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction. Methods From February to May 2025, 1085 PEMP from "120" emergency network hospitals in Guangzhou were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected via the General Information Questionnaire, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0, and The mediation model of sleep quality in linking psychological distress and job satisfaction was constructed using AMOS 28.0. The bias-corrected Bootstrap method was employed to assessed the significance of the mediating effect. Results A total of 1063 valid responses were received (97.97% valid response rate). The mean scores were: psychological distress (27.99±10.75), job satisfaction (69.45±15.84), and sleep quality (9.82±4.47). Significant differences in the three scores were found across gender, age, monthly night shift frequency, and hospital grade (P<0.05). Higher job satisfaction was linked to lower psychological distress and better sleep quality and its dimensions, while psychological distress directly correlated with poorer sleep quality (P<0.01). Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction, with a mediating effect of −0.195, accounting for 43.62% of the total effect. Conclusion The participants report moderate psychological distress, moderate-to-high job satisfaction, and poor sleep quality. Psychological distress directly affects job satisfaction and indirectly through its impact on sleep quality. Interventions aimed at improving sleep health and mental health are essential to improve personnel well-being and work efficiency.

Objective:
To investigate the associations of anxiety, depressive symptoms and their comorbidity with neck-shoulder pain (NSP) and low back pain (LBP) among junior and senior high school students, thereby providing evidence for the promotion of physical and mental health.
Methods:
Stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 638 junior and senior high school students in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. The baseline survey (T1) was conducted in May 2025, and the follow up survey (T2) was conducted in October 2025. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Assessment of Spinal Health of Youths were used to assess anxiety/depressive symptoms and symptoms of NSP and LBP among junior and senior high school students. Multivariable modified Poisson regression models were applied to investigate the associations between anxiety, depressive symptoms and their comorbidity with NSP and LBP among junior and senior high school students.
Results:
The baseline survey showed that the detection rates of anxiety symptoms, depressive symptom, and their comorbidity symptoms among junior and senior high school students were 7.5%, 9.9% and 5.5%, respectively.The follow up results showed that the detection rates of NSP and LBP among junior and senior high school students were 10.7% and 10.8%. After adjusting for variables such as gender, school stage and boarding status, multivariable modified Poisson regression analyses indicated that depressive symptom at T1 was positively associated with NSP and LBP at T2 ( RR =2.41, 2.50; 95% CI =1.15-5.09,1.15-5.47,both P <0.05). The comorbidity of anxiety and depressive symptoms at T1 was positively associated with LBP at T2 ( RR =3.08, 95% CI =1.67-5.68, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Anxiety and depressive symptoms are positively associated with the occurrence of NSP and LBP among junior and senior high school students; among these, depressive symptoms and the comorbidity of anxiety and depressive symptoms show greater impacts.

Objective:Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare autoimmune disease. This study aims to describe the baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of Chinese PSC patients and explore risk factors associated with prognosis, addressing the lack of long-term prognostic analysis in China.Methods:Clinical data of PSC patients were retrospectively collected from May 2009 to June 2023 in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, and patient follow-up was conducted through outpatient visits, telephone calls, and medical record reviews. The Cox proportional hazards model and the Kaplan-Meier method were employed to identify risk factors and estimate transplant-free survival.Results:A total of 65 PSC patients were enrolled, with male patients accounting for 50.8% and an average age of onset of 44 years. The disease types primarily included large duct PSC (57.9%) and whole duct PSC (22.8%). Most patients (78.5%) sought medical attention due to symptoms, with common clinical manifestations including jaundice (32.3%), fatigue (23.1%), abdominal discomfort (21.5%), pruritus (16.9%), and fever (10.8%). A total of 19 patients (29.2%) had concomitant ulcerative colitis. Compared to large duct PSC or whole duct PSC, small duct PSC showed a lower proportion of concomitant ulcerative colitis ( P<0.001) and milder baseline disease severity. After a median follow-up of 29 months (interquartile range: 11,53), 19 patients experienced liver transplantations and/or liver disease-related deaths. The overall 2-year and 5-year transplant-free survival rates for PSC patients were 76.0% and 59.5%, respectively. Elevated bile acid levels were identified as an independent risk factor for poor outcomes in PSC patients. Conclusion:The study population of Chinese PSC patients predominantly consisted of middle-aged males, characterized by a low ratio of asymptomatic cases, a low incidence of associated inflammatory bowel disease, and a low rate of transplant-free survival. Elevated bile acid level was identified as an independent risk factor for poor outcomes in PSC patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Zhibai Dihuang Pills on neurons of cognitive dysfunction in D-galactose (D-gal) model mice.Methods:Totally 60 male mice were divided into four groups using a random number table method: control group, model group, donepezil group, and Zhibai Dihuang Pills group, with 15 mice in each group. Except for the control group, the other groups were subcutaneously injected with D-galactose solution at a dosage of 125 mg/kg once a day for 8 weeks to prepare the aging model. Mice in the donepezil group were intragastrically administered donepezil solution at a dosage of 0.65 mg/kg, and those in the Zhibai Dihuang Pills group were intragastrically administered Zhibai Dihuang Pills solution at a dosage of 1.56 g/kg. The control group was intragastrically administered an equal volume of physiological saline once a day for 8 weeks. The object recognition test and Morris Water Maze were used to assess object recognition memory and spatial learning memory abilities of mice in each group, respectively. Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining were employed to observe the morphology of neurons in the hippocampal region; Golgi staining was used to observe neuronal dendritic spines; Western Blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95), and synaptophysin (SYP) in the hippocampus region; RT-qPCR was performed to detect mRNA expression of PI3K, Akt and GSK3β in the hippocampus region.Results:Compared with the model group, the recognition index in both the donepezil group and the Zhibai Dihuang Pills group increased ( P<0.05), the escape latency was shortened ( P<0.05), the platform crossings times and the target quadrant dwell time increased ( P<0.05), the number of nerve cells in the hippocampal region increased, arranged closely, the number of Nissl bodies increased, the morphology returned to normal, and the density of dendritic spines increased; the protein expressions of PI3K, PSD-95, and SYP in the hippocampal region and the ratio of p-Akt/Akt increased ( P<0.01), the mRNA level of PI3K increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the protein and mRNA levels of GSK3β decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion:Zhibai Dihuang Pills can improve the learning and memory ability and rescue neuronal damage in D-gal model mice, and the mechanism may be related to the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway and the restoration of synaptic connections.
8.Association between screen time and anxiety-depression symptoms and their comorbidity among middle school students in Taiyuan City
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(7):980-984
Objective:
To investigate the association between screen time (ST) during leisure time and anxiety-depression symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide a basis for formulating relevant intervention measures.
Methods:
From November to December 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 542 students from junior and senior high school in Taiyuan City. A self designed questionnaire, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to investigate ST and anxiety/depression symptoms among middle school students. The Logistic regression model was used to explore the association of ST with symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as with anxiety and depression comorbiditles (CAD).
Results:
The detection rates of anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and CAD were 13.69%, 15.77%, and 10.11%, respectively. The median ST was 2.00 h/d [interquartile range ( IQR =2.38) for weekly averages], with 0.33 h/d ( IQR =1.67) on work days and 5.00 h/d ( IQR=5.50) on rest days. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the total ST of mobile phones during rest days ( OR =1.07, 1.10, 1.11) and the averages ST of mobile phones over a week ( OR = 1.20 , 1.22, 1.29), as well as the total ST of all screen types during rest days ( OR =1.04, 1.04, 1.05) and the averages ST of all screen types over a week ( OR =1.08, 1.09, 1.21) were positively correlated with anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and CAD (all P <0.01).
Conclusions
Among middle school students in Taiyuan City, screen time is positively correlated with symptoms of anxiety or depression and the comorbidity of anxiety and depression, especially smartphone screen time and weekend screen use. Therefore, measures should be implemented to reduce unnecessary screen time among middle school students, especially the use of mobile phones, in order to mitigate the occurrence of anxiety and depression.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors for multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection in patients with prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) complicated by ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in the intensive care unit (ICU), thus providing a reference for improving the clinical effect of VAP treatment in this region. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients who were admitted to the ICU in Shexian Branch of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”) from October 2022 to February 2025, received prolonged IMV, and developed VAP. The distribution and drug resistance of pathogens were statistically analyzed. Patients were divided into the MDRO group and the non-MDRO group according to whether an MDRO infection occurred. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen independent risk factors for MDRO infection. RESULTS A total of 281 pathogenic strains were cultured from 97 patients, including 262 Gram-negative bacteria (93.24%), 9 Gram-positive bacteria (3.20%), and 10 fungi (3.56%). The main Gram-negative bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter baumannii. The former two showed high resistance rates (all≥25%) to common antibiotics such as imipenem, while A. mail:64375689@qq.com baumannii demonstrated high resistance to most antimicrobial agents. The main Gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus subspecies aureus and S. haemolyticus, which were resistant to multiple antibiotics such as clindamycin (resistance rates all>30%). Among 281 pathogenic strains, 121 were MDRO, 62 were resistant to carbapenems, and 33 produced extended-spectrum β-lactamases. The serum albumin<28 g/L, ICU stay≥14 days, and use of benzodiazepines were independent risk factors for MDRO infection in patients with prolonged IMV and VAP in our hospital’s ICU (odds ratios were 3.289, 2.991 and 2.680, 95% confidence intervals were 1.183-9.144, 1.021-8.765, and 1.012- 7.094, respectively, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pathogens infecting patients with prolonged IMV and VAP in the ICU are mainly Gram-negative bacteria, with P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae subspecies pneumoniae and A. baumannii, accounting for a high proportion, and the drug resistance situation is severe. Serum albumin<28 g/L, ICU stay≥14 days, and use of benzodiazepines are independent risk factors for MDRO infection in such patients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of meropenem exposure and degradation levels on clinical efficacy in patients with purulent meningitis (PM). METHODS A total of 131 PM patients treated with meropenem at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to June 2025 were prospectively included. Relevant data were collected and divided into a cured group (91 cases) and a non-cured group (40 cases) based on the efficacy. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the concentration of meropenem and its open-loop metabolites. Risk factors that affect efficacy were screened, and their predictive power and correlation were evaluated by univariate analysis, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and correlation analysis. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that serum creatinine, creatinine clearance rate, minimum inhibitory concentration of meropenem ≥16 μg/mL, cerebrospinal fluid red blood cell count, cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count, cerebrospinal fluid glucose content, blood trough concentration, blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio, and intrathecal injection were all correlated with efficacy (P<0.05). The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that serum creatinine blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio, intrathecal injection, and cerebrospinal fluid glucose content were influencing factors for suboptimal anti-infective ltt efficacy (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that when the blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio was greater than 2.854 (AUC=0.647), serum creatinine was less than 59.5 μmol/L (AUC=0.647), and cerebrospinal fluid glucose content was less than 3.37 mmol/L (AUC=0.709), the risk of treatment failure significantly increased (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the blood trough concentration of meropenem was positively correlated with the concentration of its open-loop metabolites (R 2=0.134 5, P<0.000 1). CONCLUSIONS Insufficient exposure level and rapid degradation of meropenem are key mechanisms affecting the anti-infective efficacy of PM. Elevated blood open-loop metabolite concentration/ trough concentration ratio, low serum creatinine level, lack of intrathecal injection, and low cerebrospinal fluid glucose content are independent risk factors for poor efficacy.
