Objective: To understand the subjective and objective comfort evaluations of students from different age groups on desks and chairs, so as to provide reference for standardized allocation and use of desks and chairs. Methods: From January to April 2024, a total of 2 446 students were selected from 26 schools in 13 districts (counties/cities) in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Wuxi from Jiangsu Province by using cluster random method, including students in kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools,senior high schools, colleges and universities. Standardized procedures were used to measure the height and weight of participants, and the matching desks and chairs models were selected according to the height. The subjective comfort of students on matching desks and chairs was investigated, and their objective comfort was evaluated by using a self designed questionnaire. The χ 2 test was used to analyze the differences of subjective perception and objective evaluation in comfort between different types of desks and chairs. Results: About 84.1% of the students subjectively thought that large desks and small chairs were very comfortable or relatively comfortable, followed by large desks and chairs (75.7%), and the proportion of small desks and chairs was the lowest among the three types (46.2%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=722.46, P <0.01). The reporting rates of primary school, junior high school and senior high school students who subjectively considered large desks and chairs to be very comfortable/relatively comfortable were higher than that of other types of desks and chairs, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=297.49, 252.82, 343.67, P <0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the subjective comfort evaluation of different types of desks and chairs among kindergarten children ( χ 2=3.21, P >0.05), and 66.3% of the students in colleges and universities felt very comfortable/relatively comfortable when they used the matching standard desks and chairs. The objective evaluation results of the comfort for the three types of desks and chairs were consistent with the subjective evaluation, but the proportions of the objective evaluation as very comfortable/relatively comfortable were higher than that of the subjective evaluation ( χ 2=20.76- 813.47, P <0.01). Conclusions Large desks and chairs, as well as large desks with small chairs are perceived comfortable, while small desks and chairs are perceived less comfortable. It is recommended to match the large desks and chairs or large desks and small chairs that are suitable for them according to the "standard", to promote physical and mental health of students.

Objective: To investigate the differences in the comfort of desks and chairs furniture among students with different body types according to the standard, so as to provide a reference for guiding students with overweight and obesity to choose the correct study furniture and revising the standards. Methods: From January to April 2024, 2 443 students from 26 schools in 13 districts (counties/cities) in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Jiangsu Province were selected by the cluster random sampling method to conduct physical examination. The subjective and objective evaluations of the comfort of height matched desks and chairs were investigated. The students were divided into non overweight, overweight, and obesity groups according to relevant criteria, and stratified analysis was performed. The χ 2 test was used to analyze differences in the comfort evaluations of desks and chairs among students with different body types. Results: Among the 2 443 students surveyed, 16.7% and 12.6% were respectively classified as overweight and obese. All students assigned the highest comfort ratings to large desks and small chairs (84.1%), and consistency was observed between students subjective and objective evaluations. The reporting rate of samll desks and chairs of obesity students subjective evaluation was lower (36.8%) than that of overweight and non overweight/obesity students (52.1%, 48.0%) ( χ 2=14.63, P <0.01). The overweight and obese group of primary school students had a worse evaluation of the comfort of large desks and chairs and small desks and chairs than those of the non overweight and obese groups( χ 2=15.78, 7.63, P <0.05). Among high school students, the overweight and obese group had worse evaluation of the comfort of large desks and chairs, as well as large desks and small chairs, than those of the non-overweight and obese groups( χ 2=9.62, 11.77, P <0.05). The objective evaluations revealed low compliance ratings on the posture of the thighs and calves for naturally forming an angle greater than 90° (55.6%), and headroom height under the table (50.3%) with small desks and chairs ( χ 2=94.05, 166.47, P <0.05). Conclusions Compared with non overweight/obese students, students with overweight and obese students report poor comfort evaluations of height matched desks and chairs. Revision of the standard should consider the body types of students, and evaluations of the comfort of desks and chairs furniture by students with overweight and obesity should be improved.

Objective:To discuss the anti-tumor effect of low dose of methotrexate(MTX)combined with sorafenib(SFN)on the human osteosarcoma(OS),and to clarify the possible mechanism.Methods:Four types of human OS cells(143B cells,HOS cells,U2OS cells,and MG63 cells)were cultured in vitro.Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2)proteins in the above four kinds of cells.The human OS xenograft model was established in the nude mice,and 20 successfully modeled BALB/C nude mice were randomly divided into control group(given 2％dimethyl sulfoxide+98％corn oil),low dose of MTX group(given 2 mng·kg-1 MTX),SFN group(given 15 mng·kg-1 SFN),and combined drug group(given 2 mng·kg-1 MTX+15 mng·kg-1 SFN);there were 5 mice in each group.The tumor volumes of the mice in various groups were detected and tumor growth curves were plotted;HE staining was used to observe the morphology of tumor tissue of the mice in various groups;immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression rates of VEGFR2,proliferation marker Ki-67,and hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1)proteins in tumor tissue of the mice in various groups.The human OS 143B cells were divided into 0,0.125,0.250,0.500,1.000,2.000,and 4.000 μmol·L-1 MTX groups(given 0,0.125,0.250,0.500,1.000,2.000,and 4.000 μmol·L-1 MTX,respectively).CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation rates of the 143B cells in various groups,and half inhibityory concentration(IC50)was calculated;the concentration of MTX that had no effect on 143B cell survival was selected as low dose of MTX.The human OS 143B cells were divided into control and low dose of MTX groups(given 0 and 0.250 μmol·L-1 MTX).ELISA method was used to detect the levels of VEGF in the 143B cells in various groups.Results:Compared with 143B cells,the expression levels of VEGF and VEGFR2 proteins in the HOS cells,U2OS cells,and MG63 cells were significantly increased(P＜0.001).In the xenograft model,compared with control group,the tumor volumes of the mice in SFN group,and combined drug group were decreased(P＜0.001);compared with low dose of MTX group and SFN group,the tumor volume of the mice in combined drug group was decreased(P＜0.01).The immunohistochemical results showed that compared with control group,the positive expression rates of Ki-67,VEGFR2,and HIF-1 proteins in tumor tissue of the mice in combined drug group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The CCK-8 results showed that there was no change in the proliferation of the 143B cells treated with 0.25 μmol·L-1 MTX.The ELISA results showed that compared with control group,the level of VEGF in the 143B cells in MTX group was signyicantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Low dose of MTX enhances the anti-tumor effect of SFN on the human OS,which may be due to the inhibition of VEGF secretion by the OS cells,thereby enhancing the anti-tumor effect of SFN on the human OS.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and short-term prognosis of laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer guided by superior mesenteric artery and superior mesenteric vein.Methods 80 patients with right colon cancer of cT2-4 and/or N0-2M0 admitted from January 2020 to October 2022 were selected as the research objects,and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 40 patients in each group.The observation group was treated with SMA-oriented laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer,while the control group was treated with SMV-oriented laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer.The curative effect and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in general condition,operation time,gastric tube placement time,recovery time of farting,postoperative fasting time,postoperative drainage time,postoperative nutritional index,total incidence of complications and postoperative hospitalization time(P>0.05).The lymph nodes in the observation group were significantly more than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).In the observation group,the lymph nodes in the anterior and left side of superior mesenteric artery were examined(No.D3),and 273 lymph nodes were detected,and Seven patients(17.5% )were diagnosed with D3 metastasis,and 13 lymph nodes were positive(5.2% ).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer guided by superior mesenteric artery,without increasing the incidence of complications and high safety,can more thoroughly clean lymph nodes and reduce tumor recurrence,which is expected to significantly improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To construct a risk prediction model for liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C based on seven different machine learning algorithms and select the optimal model. Methods A total of 236 patients with chronic hepatitis C were selected as the research subjects. Patients were divided into a case group and a control group according to whether liver cancer occurs. Prediction models were constructed based on seven machine learning algorithms including classification and regression tree, random forest, gradient boosting decision tree, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), logistic regression, K-near neighbor, and support vector machine. The Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) algorithm was used to interpret the best prediction model. Results Among the seven models, the XGBoost model had the best comprehensive prediction performance (accuracy of 0.933, sensitivity of 0.775, specificity of 0.960, area under the ROC curve of 0.956, F1 score of 0.764). The SHAP algorithm suggested that AFP, age, AST, diabetes, BMI, PLT, ALT, liver cysts, FIB-4, and gender contributed to the model decision and are the risk factors for liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Conclusion This study develops an interpretable machine learning model based on the XGBoost algorithm, which has a good reference value for individualized monitoring of liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and mortality of gynecological tumors in China from 1990 to 2019, and explore the impact of age, period and birth cohort on the incidence and mortality of gynecological tumors, and predict the incidence and mortality trends of gynecological tumors, so as to provide references for formulating the prevention and control strategies of gynecological tumors.Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) database, the Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the change trends of standardized incidence rates and mortality rates of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer in China. The age, period and cohort effects of the incidence and mortality of 3 gynecological tumors were analyzed by using R software based on age-period-cohort model. The grey forecast model (GM) (1, 1) was used to fit the trends of incidence rates and mortality rates of 3 gynecological tumors, and predict the incidence rates and mortality rates from 2020 to 2034.Results:From 1990 to 2019, the standardized incidence rates of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer showed upward trends in China, the standardized incidence rates increased from 8.41/100 000, 5.13/100 000 and 2.56/100 000 in 1990 to 11.01/100 000, 6.39/100 000 and 4.54/100 000 in 2019, the average annual percent changes (AAPC) were 0.9 % (95% CI: 0.8%-1.1%), 0.8 % (95% CI: 0.6%-1.0%) and 2.0 % (95% CI: 1.9%-2.1%), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). The standardized mortality rate of ovarian cancer showed an increasing trend year by year, the standardized mortality rate increased from 1.76/100 000 in 1990 to 2.77/100 000 in 2019, with the AAPC of 1.6 % (95% CI: 1.4%-1.7%), while the standardized mortality rates of uterine cancer and cervical cancer showed decreasing trends year by year, the standardized mortality rates decreased from 2.38/100 000 and 5.85/100 000 in 1990 to 1.17/100 000 and 5.13/100 000 in 2019, with the AAPC of -2.4 % (95% CI: -2.6% - -2.3%) and -0.4 % (95% CI: -1.6% - -0.3%), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.001).The analysis of age effect showed that the incidence rates and mortality rates of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer showed gradual upward trends with age, reaching a peak in the ≥85 years old group. The analysis of period effect showed that the incidence risk of cervical cancer and uterine cancer decreased firstly, then increased and then decreased, and the incidence risk of cervical cancer and uterine cancer was the highest in 1990-1994 ( RR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.86-1.27) and 2005-2009 ( RR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.88-1.31), respectively. The incidence risk of ovarian cancer increased firstly and then decreased, and the incidence risk of ovarian cancer was the highest in 2000-2004 ( RR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.71-1.30). The mortality risk of cervical cancer showed a trend of decreasing firstly, then increased and then decreased, and the mortality risk was the highest in 1990-1994 ( RR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.86-1.27). The mortality risk of uterine cancer showed a trend of decreasing year by year, and the mortality risk was the highest in 1990-1994 ( RR = 1.26, 95% CI: 0.85-1.87). The mortality risk of ovarian cancer showed a trend of increasing firstly and then decreased, and the mortality risk was the highest in 1990-1994 ( RR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.69-1.48). Cohort effect analysis showed that the risk of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer showed a gradually decreasing trend except for a small fluctuation in individual birth cohorts, but the birth cohort 1990-1994 showed a rebound trend. The GM results showed that the overall incidence rates of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer in China were increased year by year. In addition to the mortality rate of uterine cancer at a stable level, the mortality rates of cervical cancer and ovarian cancer showed upward trends. Conclusions:The disease burden of gynecological tumors in China is still heavy. Age, period and birth cohort effects affect the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer to varying degrees.

Objective To compare the efficacy of MRI-transrectal ultrasound(TRUS)software fusion-guided biopsy and cognitive fusion-guided biopsy for detecting prostate cancer(PC).Methods Data of 120 patients with suspected PC(127 lesions)who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy with 2-3 times of target biopsy(TB)and 10 times of system biopsy were retrospectively analyzed.According to TB guidance methods,73 cases(78 lesions)received MRI-TRUS software fusion-guided biopsy were classified into group A,and 47 cases(49 lesions)received cognitive fusion-guided biopsy were classified into group B.The positive rate of PC,clinic significant PC(csPC)and PC in different sized lesions by TB were compared between groups,and the positive rate of PC between 2 or 3 times TB was also compared within each group.Results The positive rate of PC and csPC detected by TB was 55.13%(43/78)and 39.74%(31/78)in group A,53.06%(26/49)and 34.69%(17/49)in group B,respectively,no significant difference was found(all P＞0.05).The positive rate of PC in lesions with the maximum diameter≤10 mm detected by TB in group A was higher than that in group B(P＜0.05),but no significant difference of lesions with the maximum diameter＞10 mm and＜15 mm nor≥15 mm was found between groups(all P＞0.05).No significant difference of positive rate of PC was found between 2 and 3 times TB in group A(P＞0.05),while positive rate of PC of 3 times TB was significantly higher than that of 2 times TB in group B(P＜0.05).Conclusion MRI-TRUS software fusion-guided biopsy had positive rate of PC and csPC similar to that of cognitive fusion-guided biopsy,but was helpful for reducing times of TB and increasing detecting rate for lesions with the maximum diameter≤10 mm.
