AIM:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of knowledge-attitude-practice in myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents in Ningbo City, thereby providing a scientific basis for formulating targeted prevention strategies.METHODS: Children and adolescents aged 6-12 years old were selected from the medical-school collaborative myopia prevention network in Ningbo City between August 2024 and May 2025 using stratified cluster sampling. Information on myopia prevention knowledge(15 items)and practice(9 items)was collected through questionnaire surveys. Logistic regression models were used to analyze factors influencing myopia occurrence in children and adolescents.RESULTS: A total of 664 children and adolescents aged 6-12 years were enrolled in this study. Participants were divided by age into three groups: 6-7 years old(n=221), 8-9 years old(n=221), and 10-12 years old(n=222). Of the 664 questionnaires distributed, 637 valid questionnaires were returned(201 from the 6-7 age group, 235 from the 8-9 age group, and 201 from the 10-12 age group), yielding an effective response rate of 95.9%. Based on myopia screening results, the non-myopic group comprised 203 participants(31.9%), including 100 males and 103 females, with a mean age of 8.82±1.98 years old. The myopic group comprised 434 participants(68.1%), including 213 males and 221 females, with a mean age of 9.10±1.95 years old. The myopia prevalence rates in the 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12 age groups were 37.8%(76/201), 71.9%(169/235), and 94.0%(189/201), respectively(P<0.001). Regarding the knowledge and practice of myopia prevention, the overall awareness rate in the non-myopic group(59.7%±9.7%)was significantly higher than that in the myopic group(48.7%±8.5%; P<0.001). Additionally, the non-myopic group scored higher on the key practice of “regular eye examinations”(4.27±0.96)compared to the myopic group(4.10±1.05; P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age was the primary risk factor for myopia occurrence.CONCLUSION: Age is the dominant factor in the onset of myopia, and there is a phenomenon of “knowledge-practice gap”; the traditional health education model has limitations, and a precise prevention and control system based on developmental patterns should be established.

Gorham-Stout disease(GSD) is a rare osteolytic disorder characterized by spontaneous and progressive osteolysis, along with abnormal angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, with no new bone formation. We present a case of a 15-year-old female admitted due to " recurrent right leg pain for 5 years, 11 months after undergoing right femoral fracture surgery". Through comprehensive integration of the patient's clinical phenotype, laboratory tests, imaging findings, pathological examinations, and molecular biological test results, GSD was considered highly likely. A multidisciplinary treatment approach was conducted, including a combination of zoledronic acid and sirolimus to inhibit osteolysis, along with rehabilitation training and orthopedic intervention, providing a personalized and comprehensive treatment strategy.

OBJECTIVE: To review the clinical characteristics of patients with traumatic spinopelvic dissociation (SPD) and explore the diagnostic and therapeutic methods. METHODS: A clinical data of 22 patients with SPD who underwent surgical treatment between March 2019 and August 2024 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 13 males and 9 females, with an average age of 35.5 years (range, 14-61 years). The causes of injury included falling from height in 16 cases, traffic accidents in 5 cases, and compression injury in 1 case. Sacral fractures were classified based on morphology into "U" type (9 cases), "H" type (7 cases), "T" type (4 cases), and "λ" type (2 cases). According to the Roy-Camille classification, there were 4 cases of type Ⅰ, 12 cases of type Ⅱ, 2 cases of type Ⅲ, and 4 cases of type Ⅳ. The Cobb angle was (35.7± 22.0)°. Sixteen patients were accompanied by lumbosacral trunk and cauda equina nerve injury, which was classified as grade Ⅱ in 5 cases, grade Ⅲ in 5 cases, and grade Ⅳ in 6 cases according to the Gibbons grading. The time from injury to operation was 2-17 days (mean, 5.7 days). Based on the type of sacral fracture and sacral nerve injury, 6 cases were treated with closed reduction and minimally invasive percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation, 16 cases were treated with open reduction and lumbar iliac fixation (8 cases)/triangular fixation (8 cases). Among them, 11 patients with severe fracture displacement and kyphotic deformity leading to sacral canal stenosis or bony impingement within the sacral foramen underwent laminectomy and sacral nerve decompression. X-ray films and CT were reviewed during followed-up. The Matta score was used to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction. At last follow-up, the Majeed score was used to assess the functional recovery, and the Gibbons grading was used to evaluate the nerve function. RESULTS: All operations were successfully completed. All patients were followed up 8-64 months (mean, 20.4 months). Two patients developed deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs, 2 had incision infections, and 1 developed a sacral pressure ulcer; no other complications occurred. Radiological examination showed that the Cobb angle was (12.0±6.8)°, which was significantly different from the preoperative one ( t=6.000, P<0.001). The Cobb angle in 16 patients who underwent open reduction was (14.9±5.5)°, which was significantly different from the preoperative one [(46.8±13.9)° ] ( t=8.684, P<0.001). According to the Matta scoring criteria, the quality of fracture reduction was rated as excellent in 8 cases, good in 7 cases, fair in 5 cases, and poor in 2 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 68.2%. Bone callus formation was observed at the fracture site in all patients at 12 weeks after operation, and bony union achieved in all cases at last follow-up, with a healing time ranging from 12 to 36 weeks (mean, 17.6 weeks). At last follow-up, the Majeed score was rated as excellent in 7 cases, good in 10 cases, fair in 4 cases, and poor in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 77.3%. One patient experienced a unilateral iliac screw breakage at 12 months after operation, but the fracture had already healed, and there was no loss of reduction. Among the 16 patients with preoperative sacral nerve injury, 11 cases showed improvement in nerve function (6 cases) or recovery (5 cases). CONCLUSION SPD with low incidence, multiple associated injuries, and high incidence of sacral nerve injury, requires timely decompression of the sacral canal for symptomatic sacral nerve compression, fractures reduction, deformities correction, and stable fixation.

Objective To classify the foot types of young Chinese males,extract characteristic indicators of foot types,and construct a standard foot type database.Methods Foot type data from 1 483 healthy young male individuals were collected.Spectral clustering algorithm was utilized to categorize foot types,and a deep neural network(DNN)was employed for training the classification model.Layer-wise relevance propagation(LRP)and the correlation coefficient method were combined to extract foot type features,and the differences in various foot type characteristics were compared.Results Spectral clustering yielded 4 distinct foot type categories.Foot type 1 was characterized by a high-arched foot with a prominent big toe,inwardly rotated 5th toe,and a high heel with a wide foot;foot type 2 was characterized by a narrow foot with hallux valgus;foot type 3 was characterized by a low-arched foot with hallux valgus;foot type 4 was characterized by a high-arched foot with a prominent big toe.By integrating interpretable neural networks and the correlation coefficient method,nine indicators were extracted from 27 foot type indicators,including the heel to the sole length,hallux height,navicular bone height,lateral malleolus height,hallux valgus angle,5th toe angle,dorsal foot circumference,heel angle,and longitudinal arch angle.The classification model constructed with these extracted indicators achieved an overall discrimination accuracy rate of 93.67％.Conclusions Chinese young males can be classified into four typical foot types.By examining the rearfoot,midfoot,and forefoot regions,nine key foot morphology parameters,including length,height,circumference,and angle,can be extracted.These parameters provide both theoretical and empirical support for establishing normative data on foot morphology for Chinese young males and for advancing biomechanical researches on the foot and ankle.

Objective:To investigate the trajectory of frailty in elderly patients on maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)following SARS-CoV-2 infection and its associated risk factors.Methods:This prospective cohort study focused on elderly patients who underwent baseline frailty assessment(T0)during hemodialysis treatment at Beijing Friendship Hospital for over 3 months between December 1st, 2022, and December 31th, 2022, and were diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection.The Fried Frailty Phenotype was evaluated at 1 month(T1), 3 months(T2), and 6 months(T3)post-infection.Frailty trajectory after infection was analyzed using repeated measurement ANOVA.Patients were divided into stable/improvement or exacerbation groups based on their frailty status at T0 and T3, with logistic regression analysis employed to identify risk factors for different frailty trajectories.Results:A total of 130 elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients, with a median age of 66 years(range: 63-71 years)and 62 males(47.7%), were included in the study.Six months after the infection, a majority of surviving patients saw their frailty scores return to baseline levels.Specifically, 72 patients(55.4%)either maintained or improved to robust or pre-frail states, while 9 patients(6.9%)progressed to a pre-frail state, 18 patients(13.8%)progressed to a frail state, and 31 patients(23.8%)remained in a frail state.Results from multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that low grip strength( OR: 6.30, 95% CI: 1.48-26.73)and all-cause hospitalization( OR: 5.01, 95% CI: 1.19-21.03)were identified as risk factors for non-frail patients transitioning to frailty( P<0.05). Conclusions:The majority of elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients who survived SARS-CoV-2 infection returned to their baseline level of frailty or showed improvement within 6 months.Non-frail patients with low grip strength or those who were hospitalized were more likely to deteriorate towards frailty.

Objective A Social Care Needs Assessment Tool for Terminal Patients at Home is constructed and tested for its reliability and validity.Methods In view of the Social Ecosystem Theoiy,based on the semi-structured interviews,participatory observation and literature analysis of the social care needs of terminal patients at home,a questionnaire item pool was formed.Through 3 rounds of Delphi expert consultations,the initial version of the tool was formed.From April to December 2023,a convenient sampling method was used to select 504 terminal patients from 22 hospitals in 5 provinces as the research subjects.The reliability and validity of the tool were tested.Result The constructed tool in this study contained 3 dimensions:micro,meso,macro,with a total of 34 items.Cronbach's α of the tool was 0.966 and split-half reliability was 0.877;I-CVI at the item level was 0.875～1.000 and S-CVI/Ave was 0.989;the exploratory factor analysis results showed that the factors load of each dimension were greater than 0.4;the results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the tool had good fitting degree.Conclusion The reliability and validity of the nursing-based social care needs assessment tool for terminal patients at home constructed in this study are good,and it can provide a valid tool for healthcare professionals to assess the home-based social care needs of terminal patients.

Objective To investigate the adverse pregnancy outcomes of fetuses with increased nuchal translucency(NT).Methods A total of 376 pregnant women at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2023 to January 2024 were selected as research subjects,who had a diagnosis of fetal NT ≥ the 95th percentile and complete pregnancy outcomes for singleton pregnancies.The fetuses were divided into simple thickening group(n=320)and thickening with structural abnormalities group(n=56)based on NT ultrasound results.The interventional prenatal diagnosis outcomes and pregnancy outcomes of two groups were compared.Results The rate of chromosomal abnormalities and the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes were higher in thickening with structural abnormalities group compared to simple thickening group with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The overall incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in NT thickened fetuses was 31.65％,but after excluding chromosomal abnormalities and structural malformations,the good pregnancy outcome rate in NT thickened fetuses was 98.09％.Conclusion NT thickening is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in fetuses,and the risk of poor fetal outcome is further increased when NT thickening combined with structural abnormalities in early pregnancy,but the pregnancy outcome is better in fetuses with NT thickening after excluding chromosomal abnormalities and structural malformations.

Objective To develop a scientific and reliable sensitive index system of nursing quality in enteral nutrition for neurocritical patients to ensure the effective implementation of enteral nutrition.Methods Literature on enteral nutrition for neurocritical patients were systematically retrieved from databases,such as BMJ Best Practice,UpToDate,Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)Evidence-Based Healthcare Database,American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition(ASPEN),European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism(ESPEN),National Guideline Clearinghouse(NGC),Guidelines International Network(GIN),Medlive,the Cochrane Library,PubMed,Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature(CINAHL),SinoMed,and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and Wanfang Data.The initial questionnaire was formulated by using the quality evaluation model of"structure-process-outcome".The index system was established by using the Delphi method,and the index weight was determined by the analytic hierarchy process.Results A total of 11 papers were included,of which 5 were graded in A and 6 in B.The effective recovery rates of the two rounds of correspondence questionnaires were 100%(19/19),the expert authority coefficients was 0.864,and the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.328 and 0.392(P<0.01),respectively.Consequently,a sensitive index system of nursing quality in enteral nutrition for neurocritical patients was established,which encompassed 3 primary indexes,10 secondary indexes and 28 tertiary indexes.Conclusion The index system developed in this study is scientific,reliable and clinically applicable.It conforms to the characteristics of clinical management and nursing,thereby it provides a reference for assessment of the nursing quality in enteral nutrition for neurocritical patients.

Objective To explore the optimal conditions for stable transfer of reporter gene containing enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP)into human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 cells under different electrotransfection conditions.Methods A PiggyBac(PB)transposon system containing EGFP reporter gene was constructed,and transfection conditions such as waveform,voltage,shock time,shock times,plasmid concentration,cell density,transposon to transposase ratio were controlled during electrotransfection of MDA-MB-231 cells.The transfection efficiency was detected by flow cytometry fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)channel.The expression of fluorescent protein was observed under laser scanning confocal microscope,the electrotransfection efficiency and expression of EGFP reporter gene were verified,and the electrotransfer efficiency of MDA-MB-231 cells was analyzed under different electrotransfection conditions.Results The optimal transfection conditions of MDA-MB-231 cells were as follows:voltage 280V,exponential wave,electric shock once,concentration of transposon plasmid about 1 000 ng/μl,mass ratio of transposon to transpotase 1:1,number of cells 2×106,electrotransfection rate up to 60.23%±5.63%.The state of MDA-MB-231 cells was good.Conclusion The electrotransfection conditions of MDA-MB-231 cells were successfully optimized to achieve stable and efficient transfection,which provided efficient electrotransfer experimental parameters for the relevant basic research of MDA-MB-231 cell line.

Objective:To investigate the impact of antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) exposure on neonatal outcomes in late preterm infants.Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed 406 late preterm infants (gestational age 34 +0-36 +6 weeks) born at Tongji University Affiliated Dongfang Hospital between January 2021 and June 2024. Participants were divided into ACS-exposed ( n=254) and control ( n=152) groups. Maternal characteristics, neonatal profiles, and outcomes [respiratory disorders (respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory failure, bronchopulmonary dysplasia), neonatal hypoglycemia, and early-onset sepsis] were compared. And they were stratified by plurality (154 twins, 252 singletons) and gestational age (96 at 34 +0-34 +6 weeks; 111 at 35 +0-35 +6 weeks; 199 at 36 +0-36 +6 weeks), the effects of ACS exposure on neonatal outcomes were analyzed. Late preterm infants were also divided into affected ( n=13) and unaffected ( n=393) groups according to whether they had respiratory disorders, and the risk factors of respiratory disorders were analyzed. Statistical methods included independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression. Results:The ACS-exposed group exhibited significantly higher rates of assisted reproductive technology conception [53.1% (135/254) vs. 37.5% (57/152), χ2=9.37], twin pregnancy [43.3% (110/254) vs. 28.9% (44/152), χ2=6.84], cesarean delivery [83.5% (212/254) vs. 66.4% (101/152), χ2=15.66], and neonatal intensive care unit admission than those in the control group [59.1% (150/254) vs. 40.8% (62/152), χ2=12.61] (all P<0.05). No significant differences emerged between ACS-exposed and control groups in respiratory disorders [3.1% (8/254) vs. 3.3% (5/152), χ2=0.01], early-onset sepsis [1.6% (4/254) vs. 1.3% (2/152), χ2=0.71], or neonatal hypoglycemia [1.6% (4/254) vs. 1.3% (2/152), χ2=0.71] (all P>0.05). Stratified analyses by plurality or gestational age strata revealed no significant differences in respiratory disorders, early-onset sepsis or neonatal hypoglycemia between ACS-exposed and control groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified ACS exposure as non-protective against respiratory disorders ( OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.10-1.39, P=0.144), with maternal glucose metabolism disorders (pre-gestational/gestational diabetes) as a risk factor ( OR=5.26, 95% CI: 1.57-17.71, P=0.007) and higher gestational age as protective ( OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.15-0.78, P=0.012). Conclusions:ACS administration at 34 +0-36 +6 weeks demonstrated no significant benefits for preventing respiratory disorders in late preterm infants and did not increase risks of hypoglycemia or early-onset sepsis. Maternal glucose dysregulation and lower gestational age elevate respiratory morbidity risk in this population.
