1.Changes in the body shape and ergonomic compatibility for functional dimensions of desks and chairs for students in Harbin during 2010-2024
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):315-320
Objective:
To analyze the change trends in the body shape indicators and proportions of students in Harbin from 2010 to 2024, and to investigate ergonomic compatibility of functional dimensions of school desks and chairs with current student shape indicators, so as to provide a reference for revising furniture standards of desks and chairs.
Methods:
Between September and November of both 2010 and 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was conducted across three districts in Harbin, yielding samples of 6 590 and 6 252 students, respectively. Anthropometric shape indicators cluding height, sitting height, crus length, and thigh length-and their proportional changes were compared over the 15-year period. The 2024 data were compared with current standard functional dimensions of school furniture. The statistical analysis incorporated t-test and Mann-Whitney U- test.
Results:
From 2010 to 2024, average height increased by 1.8 cm for boys and 1.5 cm for girls; sitting height increased by 1.5 cm for both genders; crus length increased by 0.3 cm for boys and 0.4 cm for girls; and thigh length increased by 0.5 cm for both genders. The ratios of sitting height to height, and sitting height to leg length increased by less than 0.1 . The difference between desk chair height and 1/3 sitting height ranged from 0.4-0.8 cm. Among students matched with size 0 desks and chairs, 22.0% had a desk to chair height difference less than 0, indicating that the desk to chair height difference might be insufficient for taller students. The differences between seat height and fibular height ranged from -1.4 to 1.1 cm; and the differences between seat depth and buttock popliteal length ranged from -9.8 to 3.4 cm. Among obese students, the differences between seat width and 1/2 hip circumference ranged from -20.5 to -8.7 cm, while it ranged from -12.2 to -3.8 cm among non obese students.
Conclusion
Current furniture standards basically satisfy hygienic requirements; however, in the case of exceptionally tall and obese students, ergonomic accommodations such as adaptive seating allocation or personalized adjustments are recommended to meet hygienic requirements.

Objective:To assess the predictive value of acute liver failure (ALF) for sepsis-free survival (SFS) in burn patients and to identify associated risk factors.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on burn patients meeting inclusion criteria from the 2014 Kunshan aluminum dust explosion disaster (August 2, 2014 - April 13, 2015). Eligible patients were stratified into ALF and non-ALF groups based on the development of ALF. Demographic characteristics, total burn surface area, organ dysfunction, time to sepsis onset, and clinical outcomes were collected and compared between groups. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression were performed to assess the impact of ALF on SFS. A nomogram model was constructed for individualized risk prediction.Results:Among 185 enrolled patients (ALF group:21, non-ALF group:164), ALF incidence was 11.35%. The ALF group demonstrated higher mortality (85.71% vs. 34.15%, P<0.001) and SFS failure rates (100.00% vs. 61.59%, P<0.001) compared to non-ALF patients. Multivariate Cox analysis identified ALF as an independent sepsis predictor ( HR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.00-2.80, P<0.05). Time-dependent ROC analysis showed AUCs of 0.626, 0.714, 0.703, and 0.706 for SFS prediction at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks respectively. The nomogram model demonstrated that ALF combined with other parameters effectively predicted sepsis risk within 2-12 weeks post-injury. ALF development showed significant associations with concurrent organ dysfunction including acute kidney injury, acute heart failure, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (all P<0.001). A higher proportion of ALF patients received hemodialysis ( P<0.001) and pre-hospital central venous catheterization ( P=0.017). Conclusions:ALF independently predicts SFS failure and correlates strongly with poor prognosis in burn patients. Early ALF recognition and targeted interventions may facilitate sepsis risk stratification and precision prevention strategies.

Objective:The activation of astrocytes is an important process in the formation of chronic pain.This study aims to observe the activation of A1 reactive astrocytes in the medullary dorsal horn in the rat model of trigeminal neuralgia,and to explore the mechanism of central sensitization caused by A1 reactive astrocyte. Methods:The adult male rats were randomly divided into a sham group and a chronic constriction injury of infraorbital nerve(ION-CCI)group.The facial mechanical pain threshold and thermal withdrawal latency were measured before the operation and on the 1st,3rd,7th,10th,and 14th day after the operation.After pain behavior observation,the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)in the medullary dorsal horn was observed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence colocalization of GFAP,complement 3(C3)/S100A10,and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole(DAPI)was analyzed.Primary astrocytes were cultured and randomly divided into a naive group and a DHK group.The DHK group was treated with 1 mmol/L of astrocyte activation inhibitor dihydrokainic acid(DHK).Fura-2/AM was used to stain the astrocytes and the calcium wave of the 2 groups under the stimulation of high potassium was recorded and compared.The expression of C3 was detected by Western blotting. Results:The facial mechanical pain threshold and thermal withdrawal latency of the ION-CCI group were significantly lower than those of the sham group(both P<0.05).There were a large number of GFAP positive astrocytes in the medullary dorsal horn of the ION-CCI group.The fluorescence intensity of GFAP in the ION-CCI group was higher than that in the sham group(P<0.05).GFAP and C3/S100A10 were co-expressed in astrocytes.Compared with the sham group,the fluorescence intensity of C3 and the protein expression of C3 in the ION-CCI group were increased(both P<0.05).The expression of C3 in ION-CCI group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the naive group,the C3 protein expression was significantly decreased in the DHK group(P<0.05).The intensity of calcium fluorescence was increased after high potassium stimulation in both groups.Furthermore,the peak and increase amplitude of calcium fluorescence in the naive group were much higher than those in the DHK group(both P<0.05). Conclusion:A1 reactive astrocytes in the medullary dorsal horn of trigeminal neuralgia model rats are increased significantly,which may participate in central sensitization of trigeminal neuralgia by impacting astrocyte calcium wave.

Objective:
To understand the current situation of intimate partner violence (IPV) among young students in Chengdu and its relationship with emotion regulation self-efficacy,and to provide a reference for conducting the education on close relationship.
Methods:
Totally 1 041 young students with love experience in Chengdu were selected by by stratified cluster random sampling to explore potentional factors related to IPV.
Results:
The incidence of IPV perpetration among young students with love experience was as high as 69.6% and the incidence of IPV victimization was 62.2%. Young students had committed(65.4%) or been subjected(64.0%) to more than three intimate partner violence. 59.92% young students were both perpetrators and victims of IPV. Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with young female students, young male students were not prone to commit violence in intimate relationships(OR=0.59), but may become victims of IPV(OR=1.91). More than half a year in love(OR=1.70), cohabitation(OR=2.47), bullying by peers (OR=1.54) and interference by parents (OR=1.63) were risk factors for IPV perpetration. Among them, more than half a year in love (OR=1.51) and cohabitants (OR=2.52) were positively associated with IPV victimization. The efficacy of managing negative emotions was a negatively associated with IPV perpetration (OR=0.96) and victimization(OR=0.97)(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The phenomenon of intimate partner violence among young students is more common, which is closely related to the rearing style of young students, peer relationship, love relationship and the ability to manage negative emotions, which should be paid attention to.

Objective To investigate effects of blind nasointestinal tube inserting and nasogastric tube nutrition support on patients with severe craniocerebral injury, and summarize the nursing methods and experience. Methods A total of 104 patients with severe craniocerebral injury treated in Huludao Central Hospital from June 2014 to June 2016 were selected and divided into observation group (n=52) and control group (n=52) according to the random number table method. Patients of the control group were given nasogastric tube, and patients of the observation group were treated with blind nasointestinal tube inserting and nutrition support. Nutritional status, complications and rehabilitation of two groups were compared. Results Mortality of the observation group was 3.85% (2 cases) and 5.77% (3 cases) for the control group (P>0.05). Serum protein, prealbumin, hemoglobin and transferrin of two groups did not differ before nutritional support (P>0.05). After nutritional support, serum protein, prealbumin, hemoglobin, and transferrin of the observation group were higher than those of the control group[(58.72±4.12)vs.(55.21±4.03) g/L,(26.21±4.24)vs.(23.35±4.02) g/L, (126.75±9.22)vs.(122.43±9.14) g/L, (1.94±0.35)vs. (1.67. 0.32)g/L;P<0.05]. Incidence of complications of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (10.00% vs. 26.53%,P< 0.05). The total gastrointestinal nutrition time and ICU time of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group [(4.91±0.42) vs. (5.32±0.46) d,(112.45±12.31) vs. (137.56±14.25)h ;P<0.05]. Conclusions It is safe and effective for patients with severe craniocerebral injury to have blind nasointestinal tube inserting and nutrition support. Combining effective and timely nursing can improve the nutritional status of patients, reduce the incidence of complications and improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To investigate the dynamic levels of autophagy after intimal injury of carotid artery. Meth-ods In this study ,40 male SD rats were randomly assigned to operated(n=20)and control groups(n=20). Balloon inju-ry was induced in the left carotid artery in operated groups .Rats in control groups just received carotid artery exposure without injury. Western blot was used to detect the levels of Beclin-1, LC3 and p62 at the third and seventh days. Immu-nofluorescence was used to examine the expression of Beclin-1 and LC3 at the third and seventh days. Results The ex-pression levels of Beclin-1 and LC3 were increased while the levels of P62 were decreased at the third and seventh days after carotid balloon injury. Beclin-1 and LC3 were present in neointima and medintima. The numbers of both Beclin-1 positive cells and LC3 positive cells were increased at the third and seventh days after carotid injury. The numbers of Be-clin-1 positive cells were 18.60 ± 1.34 in neointima and 6.40 ± 0.55 in medintima at third day, (27.6 ± 2.19 in neointima and 6.40±0.55 in medinitima at the seventh day,(all P=0.000,n=5). The numbers of LC3 positive cells were 10.60±1.52 in neointima and 3.00 ± 0.71 in medintima at third day, (P=0.000,n=5;at the seventh day 21.20 ± 2.49;3.00 ± 0.71,P=0.000,n=5). Conclusions This study domenstrates that autophagy was activated after carotid injury and the chang is dy-namic, which may contribute to neointima formation.
